The Total Football Analysis Podcast totalfootballanalysis

A curious Matchday 19 week… Players looked overtaxed and coaches haggard, while make-up games cluttered the midweek schedule.  We ponder the Liverpool-Man United stalemate while chatting through Wolves-West Brom, Leicester-Southampton and other matches of note. (~1:30) We have a hard look at Crystal Palace and Newcastle and try some sense making. 
We are sponsored by the Premier League Guide.  Moneyball for football.  Opposition Analysis + Eye Candy.  The current update available at www.thinkingfanmedia.com and on Amazon. Please subscribe to Thinking Fan Football Club on Youtube and your favourite podcast platform.

We will be doing a unique show this week.  Amazing that we have parity in the Premier League.  Only seven points separate 1st and 10th place with games-in-hand everywhere.  We walk through the contenders and pretenders along with the surprises and disappointments.  We talk through weekend previews including Leicester-Southampton and Liverpool-Man United.

Serie A fans, Buon Anno!  In the ninth episode of the 2020/21 Serie A podcast, we have the pleasure to be joined by Giacomo Galardini (1:15), a true Serie A connoisseur that hails from the beautiful town of Livorno in Tuscany, Italy.  With Giacomo’s help, we chat Milan vs. Juventus (6:45), as well as the other Serie A matches from Round 16.  We look at the league’s surprises, overachievers, and underachievers (24:40) before getting into the hot topic of Serie A’s winter transfer window (40:20).  What makes sense in this Calciomercato session?  Who can afford whom in these times of financial hardships?  Should Eriksen and Papu Gomez stay in Italy?

During Matchday 15, the weekend was littered with 5 draws along with the upset drama of Arsenal-Chelsea and a late push by the Wolves to equalize against Tottenham.  Big Sam returned with a thuggish marker against Liverpool that he is back.  Man City are quietly going about their business with yet another pedestrian win against Newcastle.  We recap Man United-Leicester, Arsenal-Chelsea, Tottenham-Wolves, Leeds-Burnley amongst others.(~3:30)  We preview upcoming matches with prognostications and predictions (~44:25).
