Episode 178: Back to Basics

This weekend, we were reminded of the importance of getting back to basics (à la Atlético Madrid). This weekend's game of the week in England was the definition of a chess match, with two new managers in Ten Hag and Potter piecing together a fascinating tactical performance. Rheon also explains how on Earth the Miguel Almiron story has led to Almiron's best season in top flight football while Jesse Marsch is hanging on by a thread at Leeds. Over in La Liga, Real Madrid completed their bi-annual win against Sevilla, but it wasn't as comfortable as it looked on paper. Lastly, we had to talk about Fede Valverde and some of the insane refereeing decisions in Spain.
