This was one of our most in-depth pods of the season.
We start by discussing what it actually means to be top of the Premier League at Christmas – whether it matters, and how it shapes narrative rather than destiny.
From there, we take a helicopter view of Everton 0–1 Arsenal, focusing on confidence, control, and a huge sliding doors moment with Trossard that could have completely changed the external perception of the performance.
We then go deep on:
• Ødegaard’s role, connections & why he drops deep• How players micromanage each other in possession
• The knock-on impact on Zubimendi
• Penalty incidents & officiating
• The title race & Man City
• A disagreement on Hincapié & defensive profiles
• Gyökeres, Jesus & finishing patterns
• David Raya’s distribution & intent
We finish with a detailed Crystal Palace Carabao Cup quarter-final preview, knowing we won’t be podding again until after Bournemouth.
A proper football conversation.

♻️ Fringe players: White, Jesus, Merino, Trossard, Havertz, Raya & more
