The Transfer Flow Podcast

Show Notes

Manchester United had a two-man advantage for 70 minutes against Manchester City and still couldn't find a way through. Patrick and Ted break down why United's attacking patterns keep failing them, dig into Ted's set piece, transition, and open play framework, and cover Tottenham's scoreless start, Arsenal surviving a scare against Sunderland, Hull's surprising form, Villa's midfield problems, and whether Liverpool should sell Florian Wirtz back to Bayern Munich.
