GW 12: The Way They Do Things in the Southern Hemisphere

How much has to go wrong for you to concede three goals to Nicolas Jackson? The answer: two disallowed goals (albeit rightly so), two red cards (absolutely rightly deserved), two injuries (wholly undeserved), and a frankly ridiculous high line (this one’s on Ange). The star of this episode is no doubt the London showdown between Spurs and Chelsea, which has, in recent times, become an instant classic. The energy doesn’t dissipate after our in-depth dialogue about that derby, though—Jiayang gives a rather impassioned response to Jacob’s suggestion that one ought to bring in Mbeumo before Brentford play Liverpool and Arsenal. We also revisit the question of how to psychologically deal with a bad gameweek—it really isn’t that deep!—and round the episode off with a discussion about captaincy, which proves not to be so clear-cut this week.
