Fuld transskription af The Guns & Devils - ep10 : City Pecked By The Seagulls, Arsenal & Chelsea Get Big Wins, GW10 Preview

Liverpool scored early, right? Bikash: I think if Man City had capitalized and two three chances, think Keeper was brilliant, damn brilliant in this game. Keeper Aakash: Mm-hmm. Bikash: kept him in the game. then when they could not capitalize on it, then they one chance and capitalized Then you know what Brighton can do. Brighton created so many chances. Donnarumma was all over the place. think Donnarumma was one of the worst performances throughout this year. He Aston Villa and two goals. This game Aakash: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Bikash: week, topped it. He scored but he missed so many chances. I think Brighton could have scored 2-3 easy. On the other side, don't think he creatively. They could not create chances. Anzai could have a chance and certain target but the keeper was good save. Doku was doing his thing. There were two three headers but he a keeper. I don't think Halan was at his best. He any service because he that kind of player. not like a one leg. He a through ball or a cross. He needs something. That's his game. Number 9. Aakash: He is number 9. Bikash: I don't think Halan is to blame here. He could have done better in those headers. I don't think Halan's mistake made him I think Dona Roma was the one. Mostly on part of this loss on the other Aakash: Yeah, so. Bikash: case or not. Let's not discredit Brighton Brighton played brilliantly. Yeah, Brighton brilliant. Aakash: Brighton were brilliant. think it was Brighton's tactic. Brighton's like the way they build Bikash: Yeah, yeah. Aakash: a game. They were defensively really damn good. Bikash: Let's see the stats. Man City, opposition box, touches in opposition box 63. And Brighton did only 9 touches at the opposition box. But they did what they did. They went on and win it. Aakash: so just being there, what does it mean to the title race for Man City? Bikash: Big it, big it. Like any time like a... Yeah, you are top of the table. Yeah, Aakash: Two laws in a row. Bikash: top of the table. If you go out and lose two back-to-back games, one of them at home, it's not good. It's little in confidence. What message it gives to other teams is like, yeah, we can go out and get results. And games like give you blueprint of how to play and win. Yeah, if there are good managers out there who can replicate it if there are they have a team who can perform similar way i think another team i think can be another team who can execute similar approach to and it probably yeah i think it's going to be a big hit I think Arsenal are the one who benefited highly, highly of this. They are back on the top of the table. Aakash: Yeah. So let's, on that note, you already mentioned Arsenal got benefited off of the loss. They did not just got benefited off of the loss. They came out and performed. Like Bikash: Yeah Aakash: last week I said, like anything other than the win is not an apology for me for that early exit from the EFL Cup. They did Bikash: Yeah Aakash: not disappoint. They went out there and performed a master class of defense. Bikash: And guess who scored? What I said? Guess who scored? Aakash: yeah. And another, another one, like two on two, you said big, big game calls for a big. Bikash: 3 and 3, by the way 3 and 3. I called for Nicholas Jackson to score also and he did score. 3 and 3. Aakash: yeah, that is true. So yeah, you did say a big game requires a big man, big name and I think big game player, however, is coming in. Bikash: Yeah, big game player. Okay, I would like to add something and maybe like as an Arsenal fan, maybe you can add more. We have seen such players, they have the knack of this. Like, have seen how much through the year, Champions League goal, and through to the Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: team. He had this kind of Whenever it's a big game, you know that Havers is there. Even in the Champions League final, when you guys were in the Champions League final, Havers scored against PSG. Everyone was like, is it going to be set up? Chelsea, when he scored and they are going to win the Champions League. Then everything happened. They come back and the penalty is not the back. But I knew that big game, Havers would score. And you saw one error from Liverpool. And a brilliantly constructed goal, the run behind from Declan Rice, then through ball from Madhubekhe, then cross, I think Liverpool were bamboozled in And what were Liverpool doing? I'm not sure. If you watch the game, the position was like a chance creation, but certain target throughout the game, zero, zero certain target from Liverpool. First Aakash: First time in the history of Premier League actually. Bikash: time in the history of Premier League, Liverpool. home at Anfield like 90 minutes on zero shots on target. Aakash: of Arsenal fans. Going into this game, we haven't won in the Anfield since 2012. And the last time we won, like, Michael Arjita was playing. Bikash: Yeah, I think 2012, last time, last time, Dev, Arteta was playing. Aakash: He was in the squad and I was playing defensive Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: mid. I think with a team, with a talented team and the Jun team, I had a positive mindset, but the way we performed defensively, I was on the edge throughout the game, to be honest. Last 20 minutes of the first half, my God. Liverpool was attacking from everywhere and we had answers. Bikash: Yeah, but meaningless attack. Aakash: yeah, meaningless attack, but it was coming at the defense. And defensively, we were really organized that they could not break us. Bikash: Yeah, I'm very good. Aakash: which is interesting. And I think this is the way this Arsenal team plays. They Bikash: Mm. Aakash: know they are defensively organized. They know their strength is defense. Bikash: Yep. Aakash: At times we have a struggle to score goals, but it doesn't matter. A three point is three point, whether it is a one-nil. victory or it is six nill it's the same. Bikash: Does it matter when you are playing away from Liverpool, you Aakash: Liverpool. Bikash: have a clean sheet 1-0,

don't think the scoreline defines the stake of this game. It was big win for Arsenal, especially when you know you need to go out and get the point. Let's move on to Champions League nights back to back. We don't want to go deep and all the teams, big teams and all, we mostly focus on the Premier League teams. Let's go run down by all of the Premier League teams. Aakash: All right, Champions League night. Tuesday night United. Playing against Roma. Getting a victory at home. A bittersweet victory I would say. Yeah, but but Bikash: First victory in 10 games. First victory in 10 games, come on man. Aakash: but another red card. So let's talk about that. Bikash: Yeah, okay, let's, let's... Aakash: Let's let's talk about the game first. Bikash: Okay, European night Manchester United when you're playing at Old Trafford. Aakash: And also, let's talk about the drama in between the game where fans were not happy. Bikash: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I will go deep into it. What happened in that game? There was everything you could have asked for. Champions League game at Manchester United, Old Trafford. Fans were out there with balloons, yellow and green balloons for the protest of Glacier. Obviously, Glacier's out throughout the game. I Glacier's. And you start the game pretty well as well. Like for 10 minutes, I think United were very, very good. They pressing they transcribing. Actually they had legs that game and I was happy to see it and then BAM! is the The is our world, in the midfield. Then one cross to the right wing and then empty. People empty. BAM! We are 1-0 down. And then what next to say? What happens after United take the goal? They another goal. Another goal penalty. I think that penalty is a little bit hard by player going down. And how are you supposed to control your landing when you are going down? I don't the police looked me and how they gave me I don't understand And then Aakash: Mm-hmm. Bikash: when it 2-0, we were dead in the water. it was almost Then the second half, very controversial. It dramatic. You get a penalty, you miss the first penalty, and you get a second chance to score at it. It was It so flimmy. I knew when we scored first, then we would Because you have this with United when we play at Europe. Last season, when we were in the same final of the Europa League and when we played against Lyon, we were 3-2 down and we came back on win 5-4. the and we extra time. We the comeback of United. And also just to give you stats, overall Champions League, going two goals or more down, there are only two teams who have come back from 2-0 four times. united and real madrid when we got maybe the last game week roma will three one up and it is After that I was hopeful that Roma are going to make some mistakes and we have to capitalize it. And then, bam, Kunia with the first goal, the job is done. Bruno with the assist, think Bruno scoring that goal, Bruno some confidence. And then, the last goal, think Shey Lacey passed for a 16-17 year old

kid to have that vision and to give that ball to Kunia. Kunia think he the line. It was brilliant goal. You go out there and celebrate like the Superman meme. I think that's what the fans deserve. One win in ten games, we are overreacting. But how much that means to us? I don't give a damn about the team. don't give a damn about the team. Team GS ran Aakash: What? Bikash: away, went to the hill That win was not for the team. That win was for the fans. That win was for the fans. Imagine your team going 10 games winless. Imagine it. Can you imagine 10 Aakash: Yeah, yeah, I get it Bikash: games and not just winless. You're getting humiliated night out and night out. then Aakash: Mm. Bikash: your players not giving a shit. They didn't give a fight at all. That's of one game. Not just like a 1-0 win, 2-0 win. When you are 2-0 down and you come back and win. Aakash: To kneel down. Bikash: I think that's what's important. I don't care. I know next week when we go to Aston Villa, we are going to lose again. I think we are hosting them at our ground. So we are going to lose again. But it doesn't matter. A win means a world to all the fans. And I think they deserve that win. Especially those who go out there and actually watch in the... Aakash: the whole, yeah. Absolutely. it's I think it's just not for the fans. It will give a boost, moral boost to the team as well. Yes. Yes, you are reacting to how your team has been performing for like 10, 10 games Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: in a row. if the reaction is legit, you know, like, except like, that's that's a legit emotion is to come out of a fan. However, Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: coming off of that 2-0 down, 3-2 victory, think that will give a morale boost to the team and think it will reignite that passion among the players as well. They understand why are they playing, why a team, what Bikash: Yeah, yeah. Aakash: winning means. And I think that might give some hope up for... for the team and then that will actually bring back some changes, get some more performance. I'm not saying the win right away, but they will start giving their best. On that note, Bikash: Yeah, yeah. It's not just the fans or United fans. As a football fan, as a neutral fan, you can Such kind of games bring joy. You know why you love this game. Why you are watching. It's not just like you watch your team. You can see such kind of games and it gives you happiness. Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: We did not even talk about one of the craziest things that happened. The one-on-one with M.Bohemian. I'm not sure how that did not go. He scored a a post scored another post. It crazy. Nothing happened in that game. Only the aliens were He a red card Kuniya said He Kuniya fans and game from Kuniya was forced do I think he was just trying to waste time. But everything happened. He two goals, red card and a goal. Nothing happened in that game. And as a normal football fan who loves the game of the football... In a team like the only team who losing... Overall, I

think everyone enjoyed such kind of games. Aakash: Yeah, think overall it was a great match and I think Bikash: Yeah Aakash: football won your game. think it was a great match. Bikash: Yeah, yeah, obviously. Aakash: So another Premier League team, Aston Villa, who had been unbeaten for a while, played against Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: Barcelona. Barcelona were too good for them. They lost 3-0. And it was expected. Barcelona is a damn good team. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: and Ashwin Villa, I know they're great team but I did not see them winning that game. Bikash: Yeah Aakash: And Barcelona, at Barcelona, the way they are performing this year is crazy. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: They are scoring goals for fun. Bikash: Barcelona is different. Everyone was thinking Aston Villa coming out of a 3-win rule, Champions League night. I think Aakash: Mm-hmm. Bikash: this is first time they are playing Barcelona in 20 years something. When you saw the start, Loményi Amali scoring early, I think they had more chances here and there. second half, Rafinha doing Rafinha things. I'm not sure how Rafinha... Manages from right left wing but a closer each striker my cutting motherless if tons of you mancy I Think it was a great great performance I think you'd have a nice strike if you saw the goal or not the cancer look at the assist outside of the so I can say look only this ma that was a brilliant finish I only You know Barcelona they are going out and handling handing out three news four news five news to everyone they are playing only unless it's like a big team Yeah, I think Aakash: Yeah, they'll Bikash: I think boost yeah yeah Aakash: tumble down in the alphasia. Bikash: yeah yeah yeah yeah Aakash: huh. There's nothing. No. It's a bully. that the other bullies. All right. Let's let's talk about the next game where Farnabasche Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: at home like again, Liverpool to defeat in a row. Like. Bikash: I'm happy as a United fan. I'm happy as a United fan. Aakash: Let's talk about that. Bikash: Why? Why? You know who scored in that game. Mason Greenwood. Come on, Mason Greenwood. Aakash: Yeah, Mason Greenwood. Bikash: It's like Fata Bache. It looks like United's second team. I Aakash: TV. Bikash: don't know. They Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: Greenwood, every time, the only regret I have for United is how many U.K. guys are there. I think Greenwood was I don't care about the damn controversy. All the media is talking big. Aakash: That's also media, yeah? Bikash: I think that person's brilliant career was tainted because of that single mistake. He came out and apologized and the family was right. They are back together. They have a kid together. Everything is good. He went out to Spain. Spain's Gata. Then he went to another team in League 1. think Marcel, he was playing in Marcel. Aakash: Big one. My say. Bikash: I think he was like the top contributor, goals plus assist. And he's in Farnaba. I think as a right wing, natural left foot. He's so talented. The finishing. The only left footed finisher is such clinical. Just as a finisher. Overall, it's I think he is on par with Robin Bampersy. He has that pace and he is 25 years old. Just imagine if any controversy. I think he would have had a long career at United. At least he United, Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: he for the English team. But he talent. makes You see Aakash: That's. Bikash: how much he has to pay. But wherever he plays, he plays with fun, plays with pace, he scores goals, he creates goals. I'm just happy for him. He's doing good wherever he is. Aakash: Okay, yeah, great, great, great win for Fonda, Bocce, 3-2 Liverpool. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: The next Premier League club with a not comfortable but I think we might have thought that that would happen. RB Leipzig, Man City, 2-3 at Bikash: Mm. Aakash: OA, OA game, OA game is always hard and our Leipzig is kind of a great team as well. coming up with a 2-3 win, Holland in the score sheet, Bikash: Scoring again. Yeah. Aakash: back in the scoring column. I don't know how many goals this guy is going to score this year. Most probably, the Harry Kane record is going He's going to score. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: If he's healthy, Bikash: Bones Bones. Aakash: I think that record is going to get, like, shattered. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: So, the next last game. last Premier League team, Arsenal again. The only thing I had about this game is the two brilliant goals from Noni Madubeke and Iokerez. The only complaint I have with Arteta here is the substitutions. I don't know why. You are willing to kneel against Avi Bikash: Yeah Aakash: Apra and... you have some players that have been like performing, like playing full on 90 minutes, all games. Like Declan Rice, he did not bring him down. Like, I don't know what the Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: hell he wants Declan Rice to do. I think he's also a man. He's not a machine. He needs some rest. I would have preferred him to be substituted. last, month, Gash was substituted. he was exhausted. And as a player, we know how much he wants to play Declan Rice. And Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: Declan Rice also performs. is out, up, attacking, defending. Declan Rice And I think he would be the first person to tell, I'm going to play for 90 minutes. Bikash: Yep. Aakash: But as a coach, it is your job to show up to like... Protect them, know, protect them from themselves. if you see you're comfortably winning, why don't you bring him down and there are players in the squad who have not gotten time. Bring them Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: in. there's, you have, we have, and it's not like we don't have options at this time. And he Bikash: Yeah, you have you have options. There are options. It's not like they do not have options. Yeah. Aakash: hasn't been doing that until, but like again, performance wise, I think it was great. Last to last goal. I think we considered that because of our defensive error. Again, like we have had a few of those errors. Happy to see Saliba back in the squad. His training, which is

great. to see Saliba back. Hopefully he is completely fit and hopefully we do not like have him come down like. and play faster. Overall, a clinical performance. well with that we have finished our Review of like the game week and Champions League as well here. come to our regular segment of the podcast that is the Overreacts on the Station. This is where we talk about the rumors, the talks in the town and say, is it Lizit or Bennett? We have some of the fan comments here. Let's talk about this. At this point, Arsenal do not need to score two goals to win the game. One goal feels like it is enough. Is it Lizit or Bennett? Bikash: Yeah, it's it's it's it's legit like it's like a repetitive question. You know, mean, every time to your overreaction section, you're really being family money. And so personal, personal favorite arsenal, arsenal, arsenal defense. I think like everything is legit on their side. Currently, they have good defense. We know like, yeah, attack Mike, win you game, but defense wins you. So basically, like if you do not concede goals, you will have like a good performance. Nonetheless, gole and in a minute, we're to the gold kind of money. And when you get one point, it's like it's better than zero point. So we have been saying the same thing again and again. It's the manner like how they play, how Arteta plays. likes defensive organization, ball position. It's not like he wants to go out and score five, six goals like Barcelona. And if ball position is not a goal that's their only strength. like they are doing good at it. As long as they are their same game plan again and again, week in and week out, yeah, it's there to lose. think they are the clear-cut favourite for the league. Aakash: All right, yeah, I think with the defense that we have and like I said earlier, Saliba coming back, the back line looks solid. We have really good, talented defenders in each part of the defensive line, which is great. Bikash: Yeah, and they are going to sign two more. Aakash: Yeah, I don't know. We needed a striker, yes. Come January, Arteta is going to go and then get another defender. Yeah. Bikash: and sign another defender, yeah. Aakash: So with that, next one. Brighton have gone from everyone's second team to everyone's problem. Bikash: Yeah, as long as they are playing your team. It's legit. Like if Brighton are playing against your team, it's a big problem. It's a big problem. Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: The way they play, the way they run, the way they press the ball, everything about them is outstanding. They are going to be a big problem for everyone in the league. I think they're going to continue the way they are playing. unless there's like, I don't want to say it like injury is the worst part of this game. Unless anyone gets like one Aakash: Mm-hmm. Bikash: gets injured, think Brighton will and like get results from everyone. Like yeah, they're brilliant. Aakash: Like I said, we love Brighton and they play on TRL, unless they play our team. Bikash: Yeah, yeah. Aakash: Hopefully they don't play the same way with our team. That's what everybody's hoping. Everybody Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: likes watching them on TRL, they're playing our team. So Bikash: Yeah Aakash: yes, that's Lizard, I think. The next one we want to talk about is Manchester City. After the two defeat back to Bikash: in a row. Aakash: back, Title hope is slipping away. Is it Lizard or Bennett? Bikash: Yeah, it's absolutely legit. have already said before, like going back in future, when they are very close to Arsenal and at time they are going to look back and say like, did we lose this title in those two games? It's sure, back to back. I think at least they draw in those two games. And I think it was very hard for them. Today they were very unlucky to get two three of weakness team back to back. It was unlucky for them. yeah, it lot of Everyone was saying they have a better team, have better line-up. They two or three players They have Holland, they have Enzo Fernandez. Big, big, concern. Four of them coming in form. We know what Phil Forden can do. But when he's good, he's very, very good. He's quick and he's coming to form. Then they have these wing players of Simonia and Doku. Then Anzai. Then Ryan Sarkey. have Anderson, Anzo. Then new Bodhiya. They lineup. From top to bottom, think they are the fully stacked team. But it's going to cost them. They Aakash: The style of the play, yeah. Bikash: are going to cost them Aakash: So I feel it a little bit different way. It's a long season. It's too early to call like, okay, that title is slipping away. However, this year it's totally different because there's that cloud of that 116 charges hanging over Bikash: Yeah Aakash: their head. So they cannot have any sleep-ups and having two sleep-ups back to back is not gonna help them. Bikash: Yeah Aakash: it might end up this might end up costing them the Premier League they might be relegated down to Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: the Championship or League One if the number of point deductions that we are hoping that happens happens but Bikash: It'll be, it'll it'll it'll it'll Aakash: should happen but I don't think it's gonna happen. We'll talk about that afterwards when it happens. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: With that We have finished our Overreaction Station. Let's go back to, let's get to the preview of Match Day 10. Bikash: Yeah, let's go to the another section match week preview where we go down all the matches that are coming up and like we give our prediction. What do you think? Like who's going to win? Maybe not just a score. We cannot like probably give like a total exact score, but like at least we know like who's going to win, what's going to happen on the results. I'll and give you thoughts if anything I'll go and add up. Okay, the first week is like our first game is early kickoff between Everton and Coventry. Aakash: I don't know, this one, yes, it's at Everton. So I think Everton at home has been great. So I won them.

I think they will win this game. Most probably like two, one victory for Everton. Bikash: I think Coventry are going to win it. It might be the upset game of the game week. I'm not going to say. I will detail about the upset of the game week. Aakash: Leeds vs Spurs. I am going out there and saying Leeds are going to win it against Spurs. Leeds have a good defensive line and I think Albert Luen will score at this game. Spurs have been like trying to fly, the chickens trying to fly up, but we all know chickens can't fly. So they're going to get down and get to where they belong actually. Bikash: Yeah, I also see a lead so in here. Okay, let's go to the next game Arsenal hosting the Tigers the all city. How do you think? Aakash: Yeah, the Hall City has been a very tricky team for most of the team this Premier League season Bikash: this season. Aakash: and they have come out as a surprise package from the most promoted teams. However, us playing at Emirates, I see Arsenal winning it. I know the Hall City will come out defensively. They will be really defensive at this game. I think we have enough talent out there to make them pay. So there will be a two-nil victory for Arsenal. Bikash: Yeah, I see a similar result on another clinch it for Arsenal. I don't see them conceding against Paul City. Yes, will be a easy win for Arsenal. Let's go next up Fulham Newcastle. Aakash: Fulham Newcastle, both teams have their own issues not coming off of a great game last week. Fulham playing 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, whereas Newcastle Bikash: That's similar. Aakash: losing at home. So I think this game, again, Newcastle, I don't know what's going on out there. So I see Fulham taking on Wien. Wiener. Bikash: We know what's going on. Come on, man. We know what's going on with Newcastle. on. The whole team was like sold. Aakash: Yeah, but like the way they are playing is like that. It's not, Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: it's not great. So I think I will say it can be a Fulham win at home. That's the only reason, but it might be a draw as well. Bikash: Okay. Okay. If you're a fear, okay. What about Nottingham forest and Man City? Do you see another upset? Aakash: I don't see another upset with Nottingham Forest. Yes, Forest has historically played well at home, but I Man City, I think they kind of know what they need to do. I don't see they're slipping three game in a row. If it happens, then there's something more going on than just a slip at Man City. I see Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: a comfortable victory for Man City, maybe Harlan is scoring a brace here. Bikash: Yeah, I think about Nottingham Forest are going to be like a skateboard. Yeah, to do tagging with frustration. think it's going to come out here against Nottingham Forest. They are going to score at least three goals. That's why I say a Alan. Yeah, think Man City are going to battle Nottingham Forest this game week. Next up, we have like a very exciting game. We know the big big bees of I'm bright and playing against

Brinford. Aakash: Man, this game is gonna be a really exciting one. I can see a lot of goals both ways. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: I think Brighton is too good. Like I know Brunford is a good team, but Brighton is too good at home also. So I think it's gonna be a 3-2 Brighton. Bikash: Yeah, I also see Brighton winning this one. But Brentford, they are getting on like they're far money. Yeah, finally, it is scored last week also. Yeah, I must be excited match. think this is like one of the most fun games this week. I would go for a Brighton win. Next up, Crystal Palace against Liverpool. You know the history when Crystal Palace plays against Liverpool. We have seen in the past the likes of Zaha. and the goals from Luis Suarez and everything and then come back from Crystal Palace this game has some history. Aakash: Yes, this game does have a history. However, I think this Crystal Palace team is not the team like Jahav. Bikash: of the past. Aakash: Yeah, it's not the team. So I don't see anything less than Liverpool win here. It'll be a 2-0 victory to Liverpool. Bikash: Okay, next up we have Ipswich Town against Bournemouth. Aakash: It's just town. They do play some exciting football at times, but Bournemouth is too good for them. I do see Bournemouth winning it one-nil. Bikash: Yeah, would say so. Yeah, Tavernier is scoring. I would also say same. Should be an easy win for Bournemouth. Next up we have Sunderland against Chelsea. Sunderland, Alicante not in a good form. What do you think? Can they stop Chelsea? Aakash: I don't know. This is Sunderland team. Last year, were another kind of a Brentford team, And they haven't Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: been that team since then. Sunderland defensively were good last year. This year, I don't know what's going on. So it's Sunderland. Chelsea sometimes just sleeps, even though they did get a good result last game week against United. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: They do have their own issues. Their forward, Jao Pedro, not good. And his injured, with Martinez out, they do have their own issues. So this could be a game. I feel like this is one of the upset for me this week. So I'm seeing like maybe a SONORLAND victory here out of the blue. It's the last team with just one win this year. Maybe they will make it too. Bikash: Yeah, I would say Sunderland. Aakash: I think I a bold one. Bikash: Yeah, I think Sunderland's The injury of Brian Brobby he did a score against Man City and he was in good form. He was great in the World Cup as well. He got injured and he got back. He was playing again this week. European Nights, I it's for Sunderland. They are in the Europa League, I think they are playing tonight or tomorrow morning. I'm not sure, but they are in the Europa League as well. So they have an extra game to play. And after Europe, you have to travel, have to train more times. And after that, yeah, those kind of things are shown. And Aakash: Mm-hmm. Adds up. Bikash: that up to the toll. after that, yeah, when you're playing

against Chelsea, Chelsea are getting like... better day by day. Yeah, as you say, I will not rule out the rule out the upset. think someone and if Brian Robbie is like 100 % yeah, think they can they can hand upset but like it's very unlikely very very unlikely. Okay, last game of this game week is Manchester United hosting Aston Villa Aston Villa and like a good good form currently, you know United won win in 10 games so What do you say about this one? Aakash: I think this is the game where like the master class of Unai Emery is going to show up again. Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: the coaching side will, I think the coaches will decide this game. United, they have their own issues. I hope they perform well just for the sake of Premier League, but I don't see Manchester United winning this one. Maybe like. Astro Villa coming out with a 2-0 victory or 2-1 victory out at Old Trafford. Bikash: Okay, good, good. think that's But every time I try to say, I look at the history. say? Aston Villa are a very good team. have a very good record against the big teams. all of them are not Aakash: But Bikash: a good record against United. They have only won four matches against United so far. And they have only won one game against United. We Unai Emery does when he plays against big teams. He has 10 losses and 4 wins against United, draws as a whole in his managerial career. those 4 wins in the Europa League final. We lost against him in the 2nd League final against Unai Emery. big game. If history is good for United, then it's good But it's very hard for him to play against United as well. Unai Emery doesn't have a good record against them. But when it comes to big matches, has. So it's a big match this game week. And I see, I see, I know like they have the potential to win it with the Nikola Staxxon. They very slowly They from yeah, maybe they are going to win but what I want, if I say in I something. You are playing at home, coming out of a good win at the Champions League. There moral boost. There will be fans behind you again. Try to show the hunger. the game before. transcreate, we have press and run. We have start from one point to win. If we lose too, think we will be easily on relegation zone. I want a win. Let's go out and win. Aakash: Okay, let's see. With that, we have come to our Weekend Watchlist segment. Let's talk about some of the must-watch game of the game week. What do you think is your must-watch game of the game week? Bikash: Obviously, I have one I think it's a big stake for United. They have to win it. Come on man, let's get back to winning ways. I this match should be a must watch game. I would not miss Brighton vs. Brentford. think both are equally good teams. think both are Aakash: Absolutely. Bikash: like a good attacking side. And then, yeah, let's see some exciting football. some good Brighton vs. Benford. lastly, you want some drama, think drama will there in Thunderland vs. Yeah, let's see that one also, the three games. Aakash: Yep,

so same thing for me. Like I said, for me, exciting football. Obviously, I will watch Arsenal, Hall City, but Brighton-Brentford is another game that is going to be a really exciting one. Really, like full on, like end to end football. like I said, Sonnenland could upset Chelsea so I will put that in my radar but I will be watching the Brighton-Premford game. Let's get back to back. We were talking about this guy who is like, okay, manager under pressure. We have always talked about Michael Carrick is under pressure. Michael Carrick is under pressure. What do you think? Is he still under pressure with a Bikash: Yeah, obviously, obviously, I think it's not like a question is always under pressure when you are managing United and like you go out and perform like this, like those sort of game one win in 10 games. It's going to be a hard game. The only reason he's not so far has not been sacked is like there are no good manager out there. What United wants to pack away if they already had like someone ready to replace, ready I think he would have already been gone. He always under pressure. Also a big game week. are playing Aston Villa. After break, we play Liverpool. Big big games. We are travelling to Anfield. It's going to be a tough tough week for Aakash: Yeah, Bikash: Karik. Aakash: we haven't talked about this manager, the guy at Newcastle. Matthias, what's his last name? It's very hard. Giannis. So do you think he is under pressure because the way Newcastle has been performing hasn't been great. Yes, they have had a few wins out there, like... I know how the fan base sees that club as and how the way they have been performing lately. And Bikash: Mm. Aakash: their performance hasn't been great. We will keep an eye on him. There are some managers that we can mention. The Crystal Palace, Nothing For Us, Thunderland. Like this, least the time is coming up. The month of November and December are the time where like we call this is like a dead zone for a lot of managers in Premier League. A lot of them going... losing on job before Christmas or after Christmas. I know like you were eager to talk about this, the offset of the match week. What would you think is the offset of the match week? Bikash: Yeah, I think already we did talk about it. One of the names that comes up is Sunderland might upset Chelsea. It's very unlikely. Apart from that, only upset I see is Manchester United being Aston Villa. Yeah, that would be an upset for Aston Villa. if they do not win against United. I do not see it there. They still upset Nihal. The game week, I cannot see. Aakash: Yeah, like I said, Chelsea lost to Sunderland at Sunderland 2-1 last year. So last year, go East, they have lost. So maybe that's another time where, and so back in 2016 too, like they had lost it at Sunderland. So could be interesting. interesting matchup out there. Hopefully, Sonnenlein has a strong, like, strength, strength, full strength squad. They haven't been great. They have another game they will be playing at the Europa League this weekend, at the Europa League this this this this this this We'll see that. And for me, that's the Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: game that is like a must-pull. It's a potential offset game for me. Like I said earlier. Bikash: Yeah Aakash: What do you think is a player to watch? Bikash: Okay, I think the player to watch this game week, I have two players so far. is Bruno Fernandes. Playing against Aston Villa, he has a very good record against Aston Villa. 12 games. He has 7 goals and 3 assists in his names. after he has a pretty good win record also against them. I would say someone like Bruno would be a player to watch this game week. And especially out of all the criticism that he has been facing. He goes out and gives a good performance, not just goals and assists. Also way he pulled out and fought in the last Champions League We want that not just in one or two games. We need you. You are the captain commandment. You need to step up and give similar performance throughout the season. It's not like you are some random player. You are the highest paid player in the league. In the team and this was he. You are the captain. It's your responsibility. I think he is one of the guys. And another guy is Matias Cunha. You might be saying that I am saying this because of two goals in the Champions League and all. as I said, for Bruno, he also has a very good record against Aston Villa. He four goals in and has an assist. I think that's how is. History can type of space has when And yeah, think Matthias Cunha and Rudolfo Dantis, those two players are like the player to watch this game week. Aakash: Alright, alright. So I think that's absolutely great. I do not have anyone that in mind, but again, yeah, Bikash: Come on man, howlin'. Aakash: that's what I was going to Holland playing against not even forest coming off of two Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: to fit. I don't like that guy hates losing game and it's like, and he's yeah. And like, Bikash: I was little frustrated in the last game week. Aakash: He hasn't had a great service. know he has been making that known to his teammates. And I think Bikash: yeah. Aakash: this is the game where he's gonna tear it up. I Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: don't see him not scoring brace like for two games in a row. I don't see that happening this year. So Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: he is always like... to watch, a man to watch, Norwegian to watch, a Viking to watch, whatever to watch. So Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: with that, we have come to our news segment that we do each week. That is around the footballing world. What happened? Bikash: Yeah. Aakash: What new things happening? What incidents occurred around the footballing world? The first one we have is not a great news. It's a really sad incident that happened off of the lower division league in Spain where Bikash: spin. Aakash: CD Tenerife was playing against FC Andorra. November 2nd, Malvago Tenor game and sadly one of the players lost his

Prayers for them. Very bad. But just come on man, think about the goalkeeper man. he should have been going through. The amount of hate he is getting. amount of... That Aakash: Yeah, that is true. Bikash: is something else. He will have to Aakash: Mm-hmm. Bikash: live the rest of his life with that burden in his heart. You will have to think about him every day, every second. It's Aakash: Yeah. Bikash: very very very sad. It's not an intentional play. Both of them, like if you saw the video, both of their eyes are on the ball. Yes. Horrible, horrible. Aakash: Yeah, you see the video. Yeah. Yeah, they haven't seen it. they're there now. And yeah, horrible, horrible incident. Like the whole team, I don't know like how they are coping. Like, how can you go out there and perform next week when you just lost your teammate, you know? so, so this is... That shouldn't happen. I don't know like how, what... what the league's gonna do for that, for the whole league. Suspense and I don't know, the match suspension, I don't know. Yeah, it's the thoughts Bikash: that. Aakash: and prayers with the whole team, whole teammates, friends and families. Hopefully they get through it. So. Bikash: Yeah, he his career too. I don't think he can start like a normal person after this. Not just him, Aakash: I don't think so. Bikash: his family as well. And prayers for him stay strong. It was not your decision. It was not your mistake. It was a very, very bad incident. Aakash: Yeah, it is. All right. After that heartbreaking. footballing news around the world.
