The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
It’s Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Raphael Honigstein and Charlie Eccleshare in The Athletic studio as the Champions League group stage comes to a close.
A humbling midweek for English clubs sees Newcastle and Man United drop out of Europe altogether. Will the Magpies now go back to being the team they were last season? And will Man United avoid another drubbing at Anfield on Sunday?
Other questions posed by this weekend’s football include can Liverpool juggle the Europa League with a title bid? Can Pochettino get Chelsea back on track? And can Sean Dyche start getting some credit?
Plus Rapha explains the new Champions League format and we remember Fabio Capello’s time as England manager.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
