They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

@Zlatan 7 , why do you even need Forlan with Cantona and Van Basten? Couldnt let Indnyc have him, could you?
Am dumb, was bound to happen though. Sent.
Picked my own sheep too.
Yeah, not sure how much of an upgrade that was all things said and done.
Slight perhaps, arguably, depending on the system.
Kicking myself for not going with another option - which I'm 99% sure nobody went for (at least not in the first round).

It was a very shite round to upgrade on two positions as very few top players overlap. You would need a very specific positions to get a nice combo here.@Zlatan 7 , why do you even need Forlan with Cantona and Van Basten? Couldnt let Indnyc have him, could you?
there was one CB /LW one that was very appealing and one CM/SS but decided against it and to improve my weakest spot as soon asI couldn’t land Pele.
For you however there was that LW/CB combo that would have upgraded those two sheep straight away.
Well at least if you didn’t have sheep you could’ve easily upgraded one position at least. Pool was good, but not good enough for 2.
I know who you are talking about, but with the likes of Muller/Van Basten/Etoo/Batistuta/Charles/Greaves in the mix, he'd be an absolute liability.
I think I have upgraded significantly but my team still doesn't match up to some R1 teams
I think your R2 pick has ended the draft as a competition for the likes of Jim/Sjor who could have still won. Needing only 1 reinforcement is a huge bonus in this round.

Yep - should have gone for one clear and undeniable upgrade plus a "sheep" (relatively speaking).
OR the combo I referred to above, which amounts to two unpicked players (nothing less), both of whom would have been upgrades given my most plausible setup/system (I would argue), at least in terms of making the team easy/easier to sell.

Indy stopped me having Montero and I really needed him. Didn’t know anyone else on the Uruguay team apart from Forlan.@Zlatan 7 , why do you even need Forlan with Cantona and Van Basten? Couldnt let Indnyc have him, could you?
And yeah, like feck was Indy getting forlan after blocking my Montero
He should have gone for forlan first, he’s got John Walters ffs
By the way - I'm a bit puzzled by GSTQ's first round combo: was that a genuine/legit combo or did you misread the rules?
To be clear - did Falcao and Pele finish last/2nd-to-last for respective teams in a league/group at any point?

Very nice - I was thinking along those lines myself when I saw the criteria, but couldn't be arsed to do any research.
The obvious Pele pick would've been the World Cup (with a non-spectacular player to make up the combo) - which is probably what most went for.
same feelings
This can’t take long now,
That's what she said
You had such a good upgrade for Etoo keeping your setup intact. Should have gone for him.
The same player would have been perfect for Chester too.
if we are thinking of the same player then i dont really like him + not even sure if he was an upgrade on Eto'o.
Nah, we are talking about a different player. Goat RWF
yeah, think its the same player, never liked him
Hm - yes, possibly (if we're talking about the same guy). But unless I've overlooked something (which I probably have) that would've been a great + dud-ish combo for me (given what I need and who is blocked).
If I had landed Falcao + the guy I landed, that would have been better overall.
@Indnyc has just under 3 hours left
For a team without a sheep it was night impossible to upgrade 2 positions this round.
Even the Falcao - Pele route was not for me, because if Pele got blocked and I ended up with Falcao the pick from the other team would be worthless for me.
Falcao on its own was a great pick but for that position I had probably 2 better players that would've been better pick for me.
The RWF would have came with a dud - true.
Upgrade round and I had to chose a sheep.
full steam ahead Marcos Rojo
full steam ahead Marcos Rojo
Not true. Especially in your case. You probably got Platini but when I was searching Rivaldo/Mauro Silva was one good pair that came up which upgrades both Sterling and Dinu.
I am revealing names as Indnyc is boring me and he anyways can't pick any of them
Indy got Uruguayans from 02. Surely can’t take that long to choose, ha
