It's been another jam packed couple of weeks of Premier League & Champions League football, and Rebecca & Alex are back (almost) recovered from their Halloween hangovers to discuss as many of the big talking points as they can.
Despite the fact everyone seems to be talking about Liverpool's "crisis", they're now sitting at the top of the Premier League once again. We chat about how the concerns over centre backs were eased by the performances of Nat Phillips vs West Ham and Rhys Williams vs FC Midtjylland, Shaqiri's resurgence, whether Jota should start over Firmino, look ahead to Man City vs Liverpool, and chat about the disappointing responses to Mo Salah winning a penalty, the role of the media and unconscious bias.
Chelsea are also on a good run of form - they're actually keeping clean sheets and they're scoring goals too. We question if we should ease up on Frank Lampard as a manager, how Hakim Ziyech has impressed, and Chelsea's shifting formations.
We also look at Arsenal's win over Man Utd, Solskjaer's inconsistency as a manager, the Partey & Elneny partnership, Southampton's ethos, 'Hat Trick' Bamford, Kane & Son vs Drogba & Lampard, and Ancelotti embracing the 'Bitter Blue' mentality at Everton.
Plus, Rebecca vs John Barnes, Luis Garcia's favourite time of the year, if international breaks should be postponed, what sustains Martin Tyler, Sean Dyche and the Grand Canyon, 'Russ Barkey', Gilmour in the gulag, nonsense narratives, waddling to bed, different shaped holes, 'The Lockdown Lay-Down', and the importance of admitting when you're wrong.
