What we've noticed about the Premier League so far

[@ph5288]

Athletic - please find a way to make sure it's a Joe, JJ, Jon podcast on the thumbnail - it'll take me from a 50% chance of me clicking on the video depending on my interest in the specific topic to 100% chance of me clicking on it. Put their pictures on it or find a way to brand their show or something.

[@belon2326]

True. Or mention host names on it

Not good for long term viewership , if tomorrow another channel hires them for a better amount of money , yall will stop watching athletic . Basically something like top gear losing it's 3 icons

[@terraforever]

The Athletic FC is 95% these three (except for the ones tagged Sensible Transfers where it's one of them). The Athletic FC Podcast is the channel with all the various hosts. Confusing but yh, that's how I differentiate.

Odegaard himself pronounced it the English style in the epl players say their name video

[@lolmosh]

@@exo.dus.1180 I'd write it as Darms-gor in English I think - it's not a flat a like "damn" but closer to something like "Derby". And the ending is shorter than how you'd normally say "gore".

[@MindSurf248]

Ah class the Athletic never does any videos on Arsenal, Chelsea, Utd and Brighton!

[@randonb-l200]

It’s so funny how polarised JJ and Jon are in terms of how clued up they are on Chelsea. JJ makes a really great, nuanced argument about Chelsea’s squad building being better than many give them credit for, and then Jon rebuttals with “but palmer and madueke are both right wingers!”. Really highlights which one watches Chelsea more regularly.

[@HM-mw7cg]

Let’s be totally honest, Rice is a very solid player, but he’s not technical enough to be a pivot (at a top top club), and he’s not creative enough to direct forward play. He’s just an engine

[@big83matt83]

For the life of me, I don't understand the price tag. A good player, but not a world beater. Mr sideways.

[@HM-mw7cg]

@@big83matt83 tbh as an English person, I get that our media overhypes players, but I’m also starting to think the clubs pay a premium for them because the homegrown player quota

[@Gooner184]

What a load of garbage, was outstanding for us last season.

[@bexclue3007]

Rice's impact last season was immense. With Cole Palmer, he had the biggest PotY shout (other than City players) and also the signing of the season (again, with Palmer). But he played pretty much every game last season, played in the Euros (until the Finals), and is now starting since Matchday 1 again. He's tired. Which is why he's already gotten _two_ yellows in three games for late challenges.

Actually a good analysis of Chelsea for once! Great job. Send out a PSA to the rest of the media maybe?

[@joshbrown2217]

Yeah, they actually got JJ on, who (other than Adam Cleary, although he fell into the same media viewbait on this topic), ignores a lot of the media's viewbaiting narrative and actually fairly asses Chelsea. No surprise when they had a video with Jon (Who is a leeds fan, so I can understand wanting to buy into the narrative) and someone who wasn't a non Chelsea representative or JJ, they just fed into the same media narrative that we have 42 players.

[@xobxob]

Enjoying this new podcast

[@FishFighterFred]

I like how they’re talking about Chelsea’s squad being relatively normally sized with about 18 extra players just on the border of the pitch… on top of the 2+ for each position they’ve put in the pitch. Definitely mad!

[@mjh277]

Really isn’t

Just 5 of those are still at Chelsea, everyone else has been sold/loaned. Still a little bloated but a 30 man squad isn't horrible

Arsenal sign Raheem Sterling: Why signing Chelsea exile may be a 'masterstroke'

[@ApeOfMyIdeal]

Slot has done more to change Liverpool in two games and without spending a penny, than ETH has managed in 2 years and 700m spent at Old Trafford.

[@crediblesalamander8056]

i would be hesitant to heap too much praise on slot at this stage. it's the new manager bounce. he has to prove himself over a sustained period, but it does look promising.

[@Goodness14966]

Slot Inherited a good team from klopp with a winning mentality. And UTD had what sort of players? leave that aside not even Pep would be able to get good results out of them they got used to mediocrity over years that's it. And UTDs management was pathetic.

[@kiwikd5145]

Slot inherited a team that was built to succeed for 9 years by Klopp, and has won two games against teams that’ll be fighting relegation. Yet somehow after 2 games he’s got Trent wishing he was already in Madrid.
