I'm joined as always by my co-host, Umeh, who's a professional football scout and analyst. And today we're here to do our mid-season Premier League awards.

1:17Just for FYI, me and Umeh haven't talked about who we've picked for each. So whether or not we've got the same one, we have no idea. We're going to start off with the biggest one. and that is the best player of the mid-season the best player so far on the Wikipedia on his section so I've gone with the king Mohamed Salah if you're going with the same do you know what here's the issue with us two yeah it's because we're both like fairly I would assume level-headed so there's no like hot takes like Masraou Masraou but yeah I've got Mohamed Salah as well I mean yeah to me I don't think there's another question I don't know if there's anybody else who you kind of debated between No I was really thinking of like Saka Yeah Saka I really wanted to think of Palmer but again I just I think it's just disrespectful I think it's disrespectful for what he's doing at the time of recording this we are recording it a week or two before it goes out but at the time of recording he's got the joint most goals and the most goals and a plus assist with 22 There's a percentage for the amount that he's contributed Liverpool's goals it's the most and I think like obviously you look at Arsenal you take out Saka they get a little bit worse you take out Palmer from Chelsea they get a little bit worse I would put Kaiseido I mentioned Kaiseido he has been and Kuluzewski there are players who have been good but we're talking about an absolute output machine and I think if you took him out of Liverpool how far they drop off as a team especially when you look at the forwards now Right now when we're talking It's like who else is scoring Diaz hasn't scored since September Gatpo's nipped him with a few Numeners struggling in front of the goal And he's just like I just don't know I've got a stat here Mohamed Salah has now provided 100 assists For Liverpool in all competitions With 13 of them coming this season That's the most of any Premier League player In 24-25 And since his debut for the club in August 2017 Only three players have made more assists in Europe's top five leagues and that is Kevin De Bruyne Lionel Messi and Thomas Muller obviously Thomas Muller underrated but like he's up there with De Bruyne and Messi for creative numbers and he's a player who's goalscoring and like I said this the other day on Twitter but he's like he's playmaking so underrated yeah I try and make a point to mention it all the time but for a goal first player if that's how you want to see him his creativity is I mean you know Trent Asside like stands out in that team amongst midfielders I think on the slot as well he's been asked to do a lot more creating and it's like I don't know how he's stepped up to be so good at creating like he always was but it's like alright can you score the most goals in the league but then can you also assist the most goals in the league just do that and he's got an air sound so yeah massively deserved I'd say also as well this season he's won his sixth Premier League player in a month which is the joint most of any Premier League player who played for Liverpool joint with Steven Gerrard and the only players who have got more than him have got Aguero So that's the level That's where he's Sniffing around But you can argue He's all time Yeah you can argue He's all time level now And we spoke about His all time ranking In the Prem And it's like He's not just He's not just like Oh he might get in the 11 No he's in the 11 Especially if they go on To win the league Yeah for sure Moving on To the most improved I feel like we've got The same for this I know I know I feel like I've got Ryan Gravenberg Have you got the same It's like a Liverpool fan page It's like we've got One higher No, but it's straightforward.

4:58Yeah. I don't think he's made a jump up in his actual quality. I think he's been platformed appropriately. Yeah. And his quality is shown to have improved from the back of that, basically. I had two more for this. I had Fulham. I had Fulham and Chris Wood. And the only reason why I haven't put them both is, I think Chris Wood is, I think he's always been decent. I think he's always It's surprising that he's gone Ah Scoring this much But last season He played a few minutes But The amount of goals That he scored Per minute Is ridiculous And that's what I mean And I feel like He's outscoring Tony He has improved Tony had that kind of Reputation around him That people thought He could play for a top four Club kind of thing But Chris Wood's always been there And especially last season What he said on the pod The other week He's like he's the top scorer In the Prem for two different clubs now So it's not like he's underrated He's just really good Yeah So like he has improved but he's not improved like incredibly like he's just a bagsman just such a Ryan Gravenberge because I think for me it's just like the reason why I put most improved is because he's playing a position that like I just never thought he'd play like I think there was a couple question marks he was like oh he's got really long legs silky on the ball but translating that to a single pivot midfielder is incredible yeah I mean I think the intelligence that it requires in terms of like the tempo of the game is what I'd be most impressed by one he can bring players on him but then he can spin he can burst past them on top of that he's good defensively out of possession he's good at knitting things you know whether they build up a variety of he's available all the time yeah available so consistently at such a physical level feels like they don't rotate yeah exactly so yeah yeah like his performances deserve the sort of respect that they're getting yeah and he's been one of the best midfielders in the league not only you know people talk about most improved from sort of unknown to a decent level but he's gone from sort of decent to one of the best I think as well as like McAuliffe had a really good season last season Supposedly was new signing Could have come in this year Curtis Jones was there Everyone said they needed a six Yeah Endo played It's like Zubmendi saga And yeah that's why I just look at him And I just go that is the most improved Performance wise like player

7:15Third is the biggest surprise of the season so far And I'm going to let Umir take the first pick on this one City fan I'll go Manchester City you can pick your manager you can pick your player I've got sorry it's not my first one but I've got slash City in brackets bad everything yeah yeah I mean if we're going players I think Guadal he's been alright but compared to the heights that he hit last season pick it out of possession there's some question marks there I still think he's a good player good defender but I've been a bit surprised there Phil Foden obviously he's had his own sort of injury concerns he's been unwell he had bronchitis for a little while but from player of the season last season to his form now that's a surprise that could be a surprise in itself yeah exactly I've put that there and the Manchester City in general Guardiola you know I think it's a little bit harsh to put Guardiola in there because it's an injury crisis but you never expect Guardiola our manager who's not lost outside the top four I think he's not lost I think four games in a row prior and I've lost eight or nine in ten yeah it's mental so yeah certainly a surprise I think positives, I would mention Nuno, I'd mention Forrest, they're certainly high up the table.

8:27And yeah, I think they've been really impressive. Fulham as well, some people had concerns about them prior to the season with some of the outgoings, Pelinho for example, but they've been really impressive and surprising I think to the general public, but I'm always a fan of Marco Silva and I think it's less surprising to me that he's been able to do that, but all the same quite surprising. For my surprise I've got Enzo Maresca Not Chelsea But just Maresca We've spoke about him A lot on the channel But I just think He's been so different To what I thought He was going to be like I thought he was Especially when he Come into the season And he was really hard And really tough On his players I thought Christ how are they Going to take to that Young players Big squad There's already handbags With the ownership And he's just gone No I'm going to play football This is my squad You can deal with the rest And I think he surprised me Not just in terms of how much he's adapted to Chelsea in terms of the squad profile but also how he's adapted on pitch with the players.

9:24I also think his press conferences, he's got this kind of like muted charisma. It's quite nice and when you get the media on your side a little bit, you get the fans on your side, it makes the rest of the job quite easy. I just love what he's done with the B team and the A team. He's got two teams and it's working for him and it's like perform well in the B, come into the A. It's just working and I think the way he's handled situations like Jadon Sancho massive massive like downer in terms of the past few years he's coming to Chelsea puts him on the touchline gets some separation as we mentioned lets him play a bit more freely Enzo Fernandes under scrutiny he's now got a ridiculous amount of output in so and so many games Kukurea has took a leap Nicholas Jackson firing Pedro Neto fit that in itself is like an accomplishment so the next one we've got is best manager of the league so far.

10:18You've just mentioned Mureska. I think it's sensible to give him a shout out. I've still not gone for him. But he's on my list. I've gone Nuno Espiritu. I've gone Nuno. I mean, look, I think tactically if we talk about Forest, I think one, they've had really brilliant investment in terms of the players, their profile. But on top of that, we're noticing a trend tactically where teams are finding it difficult to build up through the middle. We spoke about that in the Derby tactical piece. but in doing so either they're trying to build down the flanks or they're trying to go long and what we've noticed with Forest is a really good proficiency in going long and then building off of the back of that they've got good wingers in terms of their play you know Alanga who's been really impressive Hudson Odoi for example and in you know playing through the wide areas all going long to Chris Wood they've been able to establish a lot of touches in this third not many in here and then obviously quite a decent amount in their own third as well.

11:15But if you just look at their league position, I think it's hard to go off that. And it doesn't look like it's... Going to dry up. Yeah, lucky. It's funny you say that because when they started, I think 10 games in, I looked at some of the data behind it. And usually you can tell when the keeper's having a world deal. But they had next to no possession, but the opposition weren't shooting, weren't anywhere near to goal. The XG against was down. And I was thinking, what's happening in these games? And I went to watch them. And I was like, you look at them, you just can't get past them I reckon their in-play ball time is like the lowest in the league because they play like a typical side that just defends low and wants to edge out the game obviously they beat my club and do you know what I think it's a bit lestery I think people owe Forrest an apology because you remember when people were looking at the transfers what they were doing and it was like I think obviously it was ludicrous to do what they were doing with the amount of players but their hit rate on transfers now is incredible like Alanga Hudson-Odoi Chris Wood Gibbs-White Elliot Anderson yeah Murillo Milenkovic Ola Aina top they're all really good players and it's like for a team who was scrutinised and they've still got so much on the bench as well like they're bringing Alanga off the bench Jota Silva off the bench and it's like Niklas Dominguez he's a quality player off the bench and I'm just looking at them and I'm like no one's I think people are going like oh Nuno's done a great job but if you look at the squad they've built they've built a brilliant brilliant team for playing that way.

12:43I think they've been platformed nicely, yeah, exactly, for playing that way. The only question marks that do, you know, pop up into my mind are, after a successful season, playing sort of low, playing in this direct fashion, what's the next? Yeah, it's similar to what we saw with Newcastle, or what we're seeing with Newcastle happening now, when they're given more onus on the ball, how do they perform? But they're in this kind of period where they're able to play in a style that they're dictating, and it's been really impressive, and it's a hallmark of, sort of, Nuno Espirito Santos' best work, whether that be at Wolves, are now at Nottingham Forest.

13:15Right, moving on to the next segment, we have Unsung Hero. I mean, we've been talking about Forest. I'm going to segue into giving a bit more prop to my boy Murillo and Milankovic. I think the centre-backs have been really impressive. Murillo, for me, looks like... As a pairing. Well, yeah, in general. But I think Murillo, in particular, looks like a player who can definitely make the step up into European quality. By the way, it might be Forest next season. Yeah, it might be far Forest. Yeah, they might be European. People say that about Villa, it's like Watkins can go to Champions with that.

13:44He's there. He's there now. So yeah, Murillo really stands out to me as somebody who, as much as he is sort of this robust, really astute defender, he's also brilliant at bringing the ball out and the ability to play these passes is quite technical and to play these direct passes to facilitate Forrest's style. I think he's really stood out to me as somebody who has been massively impressive. Belaber Brighton I think unsung but he's getting his praise now but he seems to be the next in that pipeline for you know sort of relatively unknown to Brighton to a Chelsea or an Arsenal kind of thing but yeah they're sort of the two or three players that really stood out to me I know you'll like this one but I've got Marco Silva Marco Silva manager I just think do you know what I think like Thomas Frank gets the praise because he has this really good pragmatism about him.

14:40And he's great at speaking. Yeah, he's a great character. Adonio Iriola has the same sort of thing. He's like an out-of-possession genius. He's like, wow, so good. And then you've got other teams like Forest. They've got a really interesting squad. They're in fourth at the time of recording. And I feel like Marco Silva, it's like, he doesn't have PR. He's just there. A very balanced squad. He platforms his players properly. Yeah, and I think last season, we've often spoke about this, about Fulham with a team that were really bad and all the underlying metrics, all of them, and it looked like there was a constant old performance season on season after they come into the Prem, and I felt like he'd come off the back of a job that was tough at Everton, did a great job at Hull, and I remember Hull coming to Old Trafford when Maguire was still there, and they were really, really good against us, and I was like, who's this manager?

15:31I think he come from Olympiacos. and I think the way he's gone to Fulham after a hard stint and has just just like that trajectory wise has just kept going up I mean you look at some of the players you think they're players surely like you can't get a tune out of them to the level that you're getting Raul Jimenez is looking brilliant again and obviously Adama Adama yeah suiting Adama's style of play to his own system you're seeing the likes of the midfield I will be yeah I will be a brilliant player Paulinho obviously leaving but them finding that balance in that midfield with Sander Berger I think in there I think he's very simplistic but that's like his thing if you're balanced yeah he's just a balanced team balanced players a really good mid-block by the way I think it's hard if you're looking at Manchester City you see how hard it is to coach a mid-block and Fulham do a mid-block better than Manchester City do a mid-block

17:37Right, so moving on from the biggest unsung hero to the funniest moment of the season. Now, I know this is subjective because I'll find stuff funny that you won't. Yeah, probably I'll take my entire team, you know. So I'll lead on this one, but I've got two. All right, go on. So I think funniest moment either goes to Jamie Vardy pointing at the Premier League badge against Spurs when he scored against him. It's like going like that, which is hilarious. And then the other one was just Pep at Anfield. I got Pep at Anfield. Oh my God. Honestly, I thought he'd lost the plot. Yeah. I loved it. I really liked it.

18:10No, it was just like you've never seen Pep out a character like that. But doing the four times to the Liverpool fans. But then going over to the City fans and doing it again. Yeah, yeah. And it was just like... I think to the City fans it's almost it's kind of like appreciate what we've done and we've built so much kind of thing and I think the fans as a City fan myself I think we were quite receptive to it it was quite cool it's quite like you're not it's almost developing the siege mentality kind of thing obviously we've not seen the benefits of that pay off yet but to the City fans I don't mind it but to the Liverpool fans I thought it was I mean it's good it's just so funny it's kind of barclays Premier League he said in the press conference after it's like I thought it was Liverpool had a good relationship it's like he's just technically making it he's like you've been going head to head for about 10 years don't think it's a good relationship I thought it was playful all around I think it's nice when the Liverpool fans do get involved in that way I think it's nice when Pep gets involved in that way no it's funny in terms of funny moments it was City versus Liverpool at Anfield the least thing you'd expect to do is Pep and he's in the middle of the game I know it was just like mid game just turning around I just thought It was in and around him scratching his head and stuff.

19:23And I was just like, this is brilliant. Obviously, as an onlooker, and just the press conference after everything leading up to it, I just thought, brilliant. Shut up, Pep, man. I love that guy. We're going to move on now into goal of the season so far. You can lead off on this one. I've got... We go back to Fulham. I love Fulham. But we've got Wilson. Wilson versus Brentford. Sort of a backheel volley almost kind of thing. crazy lob the keeper crazy crazy it was ridiculous I don't know how someone kind of has the audacity to decide to do that to try and do it and the fact that you pulled it off like ridiculous I think the audacity thing is what I've gone for I've gone Duran against Everton brilliant I watched this in the pub right honestly I couldn't see the screen so it's like a wide screen but I sat like on there so it looked like the screen was stretched and I swear to god when I watched it he scored from the half a line and I was looking at it and I was like he has shot from so far I stood up, went over to the thing and I was like, and the audacity to even think to shoot from there was just like...

20:26Durant plays like someone explained the rules of football to him about two minutes before. Yeah, he plays like it's like FIFA or something. Yeah, or just literally like if you're about six years old, someone says, look, this is football, you get the ball, you have to kick it in the net. And that's all he tries to do. And it works. It's just good. And honestly, I'm absolutely one double left foot. It's a bit valid to that goal. Yeah, there's something wrong with that goal. he doesn't feel real and I think they're the type of goal like Ronaldo against Porto the goals just should never happen why are you taking that shot oh it's gone in company versus Leicester yeah stuff like that it's like yeah I just think the audacity angle from players taking long shots and stuff is the best thing because you always get a fan who's like why are you shooting from there and then it's yeah it's a goal segueing on nicely we have assist of the season so far What have you gone with her?

21:19I feel like It sounds like I'm a Fulham fan Because I've got Jimenez against City Do you remember that? The back heel Mine's Yeah, you've got back heels there So I've got that But then I've also got Slash something else Okay I've got Eze against Spurs I don't know if I'm He's like He does like The I'm not going to try To do it on camera But he's like He does the flick He does the flick That Harry Wilson does For the goal But he assists Mateta for it And it was 1-0 Against But I just remember watching it I just remember watching it And he's like The gap he gets it through It's not even there It doesn't feel like it's there And the other one I had I'm not even sure If I can have this down For assist of the season Because he doesn't touch the ball But do you know The Matthias Cunha dummy In the box Oh yeah Where it goes through his legs And it rolls across And it was a counter-attack From Villa And it was so satisfying But I'd give it like goal Rather than the assist Because he doesn't touch the ball But it makes the goal In a similar way The Palmer It's a pre-assist But I kind of wanted to mention that Yeah Almost for goal probably But in my head that feels like That's more of an assist Than the De Jimenez De Jimenez I remember like I watched it on Match of the Day And I was like I had to slow it down Pause it I was like What has he just done?

22:33I think I was in the ground I was in the ground I thought it was a fluke And it just wasn't When I saw it I was like How's that happening? You look at the big screen They're playing in slow motion I'm like Right okay I'm glad I was about Yeah, yeah Honestly No, that Jimenez, man Against you All the time, innit? This is like a full-on Yeah, a maverick Football goal, man No, brilliant And then We've got two more left So we're going to move on Into signing of the season Yeah Who have you gone with? I've got three I'm going to have to pick one Good that you've got three Because I kind of struggle with this Oh, did you?

23:08I think I've got probably one of There's not been I was researching last night Yeah there's not been that many siding and if there has been a siding especially about the top level kind of thing no and it's been like a really shrewd yeah like pick up and he's overperformed for the value they paid for him so who have you gone with I've got Masrawi yeah I've got Masrawi as one yeah right wing back right centre back left back four at the back five at the back like he's done it all ten ten play ten in the Europa League and yeah brilliant technical quality reliable availability wise great engine on him seems like a quite you know sensible on field presence seems like everything United lack squad mentality physically mentally physically technically there was all them tweets going around when it was like give us 10 more Masrawis that's how it feels though for the other two that I've got I'm going to pick the second one I'm going to say here Milenkovic top as we've spoken about but I'm going to go Liam De Lapp Liam De Lapp yeah fair play we spoke about him when he first joined but he's someone who's come through the City Academy or played for the City Academy rather and when he was made I think it was a £20 million sign and a lot of people had question marks over that but his profile suits the Premier League massively and he's somebody who like I was always very high on him having a good career in the Premier League but the way he scores off of difficult chances he can manufacture goals and chances for himself which is the biggest quality I think yeah the reason why I give him is just the overall play like he does everything well and he's like we spoke about Chris Wood before he's like a backboard a runner a scorer a creator a good passer and I think the game he played against he didn't score but he just affected the game overall and I was like I think it gave Diaz a really difficult time he's just so physical even though he didn't sort of you know make his mark on on the game in terms of output and everything his dueling with Diaz posed a big question mark for Manchester City in our game against it which is awesome no I just I just look at Liam Dopp and I'm like if you take his goals out of Ipswich they'd probably be in a much worse position I've watched him at least four or five times have come away even if he's not scored and gone bloody hell he's a cracking player and then the fee they've paid for him which obviously from a promoted side is a bit thingy but the profit they're going to make on that side and if he leaves all things considered 20 million for Premier League who's scoring goals as well and I think when you look at Leicester and you look at Southampton now and even Palace down there I know they've got Mateta but all of them are struggling for goals and I think Ipswich can almost say they've got a guy who they give chances to he's going to score alongside like Sammy Smoddix or even if you don't even give chances to him he's going to make a chance for him and I think it was the Spurs away game and the United at home game against two big six where I was like Jesus Christ just really good and I think he's for signing for signing of the season we're looking for shrewd deals because the big ones one player that does deserve a shout out but obviously we've already waxed lyrical about for us is Elliot Anderson the only reason why I've not put him is because he was£40 million.

26:10And it's a massive gamble because to get back the quality, the value you paid, it's going to take a lot more than just half a season worth of performances. But as we mentioned before, Forrest are doing really good in the market and he looks to have been a really good out-of-block signing. And then, yeah, Milenkovic was my third one who for£12 million from Fiorentina, I thought someone was going to pick him up a few years ago. I thought Conte might have got him at Spurs or when Spurs are a bit more of a mid-block team stick him in a back three but just like meat and potatoes defender meat and potatoes defender just win the ball and he just wins everything and you were very complimentary in there yeah you were speaking about technical and then he's just like wins everything in the box and by the way there's some technique to actually be oh yeah he's like big hard man he's very good what he's doing and like one of the most valuable players yeah it feels like that quality has almost died out in the modern game a little bit but to see more traditional player in that mould is really good I had an unsung hero so yeah don't even justify yourself finally to wrap up the last segment is a one to watch for 2025 this could be player manager club as we've mentioned I'm going to throw this over to you who have you gone with?

27:32a bit biased I've got to give Manchester City something in here and I've gone Oscar Bob. Oh, yeah. If I think in 2025, I think his recovery is estimated to be January, sometime late January. So, I mean, prior to this season, Oscar Bob's a player who, I mean, I've been a massive fan of Oscar Bob for years to the extent where, look, player of the season for the EDS, I think player of the season for the EDS twice. I wanted him promoted into the main setup earlier than he was, but the fact that he is in the main set up and he's established in there I thought and you know going off of Guardiola's quotes he was going to have a really big part to play Manchester City even lacked goals and assists from the wide areas when he did play in those pre-season games even in you know some of the games so that winner against Newcastle for example the quality that he has I think from our academy like it's probably the best since since Foden I think him Palmer and Foden are like Manchester City's best three academy graduates and we've not seen that quality on a consistent enough level at the senior sort of domestic leagues did you think he was going to have a bigger say this season at what maybe people thought he played the community shield I would have had him as starting right as good as Savino is we're seeing Bernardo play that role now and you've got injuries as well it's such a packed fixture list but I think with Oscar Barb he could have played that right wing position Pep's mentioned we didn't sign a replacement for Alvarez because Foden or Bob can play in the middle false line kind of thing.

29:09You can play off the left. You can play everywhere, basically. You can play left back. There's one game in the EDS where we had all our attackers on and Bob actually moved into left back for the last 10, 15 of the game. So for me, a brilliant player. He's a really nice guy as well, by the way. A really humble guy. And like... That's the best thing. Yeah, to be fair, in football, to get really good guys... To be a nice person. Yeah. So I, like, personally, I have a lot of, like, sort of support for him as an individual. But quality-wise, I think he has first-team Manchester City quality and he could have been a big difference for us.

29:45Did you think Savio was supposed to play as many minutes as he maybe has because they were banking that Oscar Bob would rotate so much with him? I think they're probably 50-50 and then whoever gets sort of the rhythm plays. With any signing for Manchester City, you kind of have that first season to get into it. That's what I was thinking of. If you have the first season Where you can like Give it a few goals But then the second season Then you step up And do Brian There would have been Less pressure on him To score and assist Because now I don't know whether or not He gets in his head A little bit I mean I think They could have played together Anyway but Oscar Bob playing As that right central midfielder Given that City Lacks some physicality in there Like he would have been able To do a job in there as well So hopefully when he comes back We'll see more minutes Especially if the season Is a bit more written off Than it is now Kind of just Give him a free goal Because he's a brilliant player and the same way that Palmer is seen now at Chelsea, you know, Palmer wasn't given that much licence at Manchester City and look how good he is.

30:38So I think Bob is in that same kind of realm of discussion, basically. I've also gone with a winger. Yep. Mikey Moore. Cut your head. Wow. Mikey Moore is the youngest player to start a Premier League match for Tottenham since Stephen Carr against Ipswich in 1993. Wow. So, like, you can tell how highly he's rated in terms of the Spurs camp. I obviously played in Europe for him And I just think he's absolutely incredible Do you know what? I look at Spurs and I like We spoke about this a lot They don't have 1v1 quality out wide Since they've moved Kulazovsky infield And they're struggling a bit They've obviously got Brennan Johnson scoring goals Sonu's playing a mixed role But Mikey Moore In a post-acoglu team If they can keep hold of him He's just a dream in my opinion I just think he's carrying ability He can come inside He can probably play as an 8 if he wanted to just his decision making on the turn on the spin in behind he's a good creator good small space player he's only 17 and I remember I watched him in the under 18s and I just thought he's like a cut above everyone else whenever he played and he do you know there's like an anticipation for a young player to come through and start well do you know what as soon as they hit the ground running you know like it might be Palmer Palmer was scoring for City right out the gate so was Foden so was Oscar Bob you just take little chances little glimmers and if they take it and they assist they score they play well straight away you just know it's like this is a serious player now and I think there's some players who maybe come into the line-up who play alright but statement players who come in and they're like right here's a goal here's an assist here's a game winner they're the players that I look at and I'm like right mentally they're built for this level and I think technically he's got everything to work with and no I think he's incredible and I think in an Ange team for seeing what could happen with the projects with the players like Berg, Val, Gray coming through a bit younger a bit more ideal modernised footballers I look at Mikey Moore in the next coming years and I just think he's going to be an incredible player and yeah massive massive fan but yeah great shot Oscar Bob when you said City I was like what's he going to say no yeah no way I can put Manchester City in there I was like what's he going to say about City we're waiting on the return I was going to say like Haaland or something one to watch yeah just watch if he scores you know right thank you very much for watching this episode of The Breakdown if you did enjoy please like and comment and share it all around and we'll be back next week for more Premier League action thank you
