Show Notes
The international break has given us just enough games to start drawing real conclusions. Patrick and Hayden dig into the Premier League's biggest early surprises: Liverpool's Isak-dependent attack and Iraola's low-block problem, Newcastle's teething issues as they try to build a possession identity under Jaissle, and Brian Brobbey's remarkable start at Sunderland, including his hat-trick against Manchester City.
Plus, on Patreon this week: Chelsea's strange approach under Alonso, Aston Villa's early struggles, and another big Premier League striker.
