 Welcome to the Premier League show, what have we got? We've got two left and then there's a break of Premier League football. Well Cup 2022 is full, I don't know whether it'll be any lack of it maybe. Full Roger Millet. Full Roger Millet, they are, aren't they? Before that is upon us of course, this is the penultimate weekend before we break. But last weekend, a lot of big results at both ends of the table, even though it is quite tight. Manchester City were in action early on on Saturday, going to Leicester. It was a chance to go top of the league versus a team in the bottom three. Leicester, he had a post and it was one by. It was one by and absolutely brilliant three kick by Kevin De Bruyne. City had had a lot of chances, Dany Ward actually made some good saves for Leicester in this one. And at the other end, Leicester had a couple of great opportunities with Taylor Manzett in the bar in nearly a minute tremendous corner. But City just looked, even though they were excellent, they had a lot of opportunities. They were lacking the killer instinct of Hayshayne Eiland Harlan, who has been absolutely unbelievable since he came in. I think he's put any doubters to bed, any doubters you may have been sat on the playlist. There was only one doubt, wasn't it? Well, Rory did have a little bit of a nightmare with this one. He's been incredible and over on the playlist this week there are so many plays, we've had the biggest impact. Eiland Harlan has certainly probably had the biggest impact so far. But this is what the lads on 888 Sport playlist had to say about it. Every Manchester United fan will tell you what a breath of fresh air he's been. But I'm not going to let that overshadow the fact that Jesus above him has his team's top and it's amazing and Harlan is just... May I make a case for Gabriel Jesus' top? Just in case you want to. I'll make the case and then you can dismiss it if you wish. In terms of the impact on the teams, in terms of the current standing of the teams, I think that with or without the signing of Harlan, Manchester City would be either at the top of the league or very near the top of the league and most likely to win the Premier League, with or without him. Without the signing of Gabriel Jesus, I honestly think Arsenal would be at best in the conversation for top four. So in terms of the change, in terms of the impact, in terms of the difference, I think Gabriel Jesus has had more of an impact on his team than maybe everybody else combined. I think he has completely changed the entire perception and entire expectation of a club the size of Arsenal. Where do you think Manchester City will finish the league with Harlan? Do you think they'll be champions? Where, just hypothetically, where do you think they would have finished the league without Harlan? Without Harlan, Jesus and Sterling? No, presumably they would have kept a striker. Presumably they would have kept Jesus. Do you think they'd win the league, presume? There you go. Discussion there. So, yeah, I mean, it looks to me like Harlan has made obviously the biggest impact. Being incredible years back this weekend for Manchester City. But it was a big win, that wasn't it, because that is even though Leicester haven't been great this season. Leicester normally gave them a good game, didn't he? It's always a tough game for him, so potential banana skin. When a large part of the game Leicester just defended and tried to soak her up and did quite well at that. It was a great goal and that's what great players do. I think that's what the boys and girls are talking about there on the play list. You want big plays to make a big impact. That's what three or four plays have done this season. Top players shouldn't really take time to settle and Harlan certainly hasn't. I think that's a game. I think there's had this discussion, a lot of people have had this discussion about would Harlan score any more goals or it's not where the city will score any more goals than they do. It's the type of goals they score with Harlan, isn't it? Harlan scores that one goal, that clinical goal, that separates you when someone sits in. In this game that happened to be Kevin De Bruin with a wonder strike. But in another game we've seen in the past played clubs of satin and made it very difficult. Whereas in this season with Harlan gets that one goal and it changes the game. We used to have it with Leicester. Top players do that, don't they? Take the game, don't they? Yeah, so great win for city there. Spears here were obviously having a good season as well. It's true that Hannah Bormuth, Keith O'Mory, is a big lad, made it really difficult for them on Bormuth to up with about thirty odd minutes of play. And then Sesi on and Ben Davies drag it back and then Ben Sake. Rollercoaster week for Spears. It's been a mad week. It's been a form of recent and then go two-nil down, get a win. And then obviously Champions League to go through top of the group with last kick of the game as well. So it's been a big week for them. A lot of people doubting the county style of play. Cos if you've got a play in a way like that it's got to have results, hasn't it? It's got to bear fruit and this week's been a good week for them. Disappointing for Bormuth being two-nil up. You've been in decent form over the last couple of weeks after being so great for them. So good week for Spears though. Spears are the better set, twenty out of times a goal dominated the possession. But Bormuth and especially Keith are more a handful. Brentford through one-one with Wolves. Ben me with a kind of bicycle kick. Brentford ahead and then Wolves equalised Ruben Nevers-Grace to make it one-one. And there you go, Diego Costa and Anthony is back. Full cost there. Full cost there in the ninety-seventh minute. Got himself shent off for a headbutt and a swing. And there you go, three game back for Violin Cumber. He's wanted a few more weeks off. The break wasn't long enough for us and now he's back for boxing against us isn't he? I think so. I think so. If they are, if they're not he misses, they have it in game. But yeah, he's a lean and this is a fair play. A fair play. A fair play. A fair play when people were top number hand or the people were going, no thanks. But Wolves can't score goals for the love of money, can they? That they needed a striker and he was available. So they did have to take the opportunity and take the chance on them. I'm sure he will score goals for them this season. I think he's lean and he's so easy to get involved in. I don't think he'll lean that kind of stuff. The thing about it is though, you don't get, then days are gone now, we're getting away with it. Anything like that, are they? If they are, they're gone. He's in the moment, people don't think like that dude. They just do, they just react. Yeah. And he is a very much a reaction. He is a reaction. He is a reactive person. Gray and Potty looking sharp. And you know Beards and Tailnecks and all of the other good stuff. This season went back to Brighton and was destroyed. Ultimately, he looks like a Bond villain and he got the Bond villain treatment at the end of the day. He surprised, he got booed. He looked a little bit upset by it. I really liked what he said at the end of the game. He came on basically and said I can only adapt up high. I'm going to go dead seamless. He said I created that. And I thought that was a brilliant statement. You know, that was their first win under any coach. And I thought that was a really good statement. He said of course I'm on a good day for them and a bad day for us. That's my team basically he said. And I thought that was brilliant. Did they have a right to boo him? No, not did they have a right because football fans have got a right to boo him. Of course they have a right and I'm going to write it anything. So, OK. No, they are. Ultimately. OK, in your opinion, was it wrong of them to boo him? Yes. The manager who's done really, really well for them. It was a time to make the next step up when he did it. And they should have really applauded at it. Players have done that. And then they bring the next player in and they brought the next coaching. And they had the next coach. That's how football works. I know this summer has been a bit of a big up evil for them. Lots of change. But it seems it's been quite seamless for them. I know they haven't been doing well in the last few weeks. But they've gone on beating Chelsea for one. And they're ready to move on now. And that's football that happens. Everyone is a little fish now. There's only a few big fish. And they can come call them whenever they want. So I think it was a little bit wrong. But it's football. I mean, the game itself has some tremendous feet to give them. I mean, I've got to say some awful defenders by Chelsea. I mean, he's already tried to give them two goals. But Trashard's got Tiago Silver. Pass one in after one back. And he had his own mistake off the line. And go goal by Trashard. And then two own goals. I love it in the other day like that. Just basically gifted Brighton the goals. He was three in the love of that time. Cai Havett's got the goal. Just after that time, a Heather was disappointed with the goalkeeper. There were things excellent. But it was a bad bit of goal here. Heather's straight arms went through him. But they don't go and get a fourth in injury time to be past goal growth. So a great win. A great win for them. You know, after a couple of weeks' work, they haven't been doing so great. Well, the one honey, the three points behind Chelsea, you know. With that win. So it was a tremendous win. Crystal Palace beat Southampton 1-0 at Odson-Edward with the goal in a game which Crystal Palace had 44% possession and swelled attempt to goal to Southampton's 14. Southampton have four on track. That's a three and lost the game 1-0. Palace of it. Palace of it just, you know, a mid table side and they've had a chance to get better. Southampton are a weird side. Because Ralph Hassell Hull has been under pressure. There was large calls for him to be sacked a few weeks ago. Some stuff come out and players he'd left go and he's a terrible manager in this time. It's a thing, nonsense. But they haven't got enough goals in them after Southampton and they're going to... Who does, though? No, there is that. Don't get me wrong. There's about probably 14 teams in the Premier League who don't have enough goals in them. I just mean for Southampton, it is a worrying. I think it's worrying for them that they are losing games. The goals, they just aren't scoring enough goals. They're minus nine already. I think they've only scored something like 11 goals this season. And the other teams haven't gotten much more. But if you're letting goals in, and this is an issue for Leicester City as well, by the way, although they do score a lot of goals, they can't keep them out. For Southampton, it's going to be trying it. It's going to be trying it. Get those goals in and get more out of Cheyenne and maybe more out of Adam Armstrong. Yeah, I think Southampton are what they are, Andy. Again, they're just another club in the Premier League that just tumbles on. I don't know what the expectations are of Southampton or I don't know what the expectations are for anyone else of someone like Southampton. They go year by year. There's no mega plan. It's very hard to have mega plans in the Premier League because someone just comes along from the outside and just rips them all up. It's really difficult. You've got to have belief in what you're doing. I actually think the manager they've got now is the right person to have. You're getting ideas of granted which everyone should have ambitions and everyone should have hopes and dreams, but I just think have no way you are at that moment in time and then just try and build on it because they've brought a lot of young players in and some of it who are going to take time to develop. Palace were like that last season. Palace ended up having a decent season. This is where we are as a league. It's so difficult. Yes, it is. Once we were flying out of the mountains in Newcastle United, Aston Villa had obviously had the sixth even-year-old bounce last week with a four-nil home win and when I waited in Newcastle on my point four-nil. You know, just looking at the stats. They had 20 attempts at golf in Newcastle to three from Aston Villa. 60% possession, no shots on target for Villa, seven for Newcastle and score four of them. It was a clinical twice as well. We took a penalty to start it off in the first half into the game. The end ball. And then Joel and Colin Wilson again and Almaront with another left foot cale. So Newcastle flying at the hours done tremendous job there so far. Aston Villa, Henry, is obviously in. He wasn't in at the weekend because he thought that one but he's in now. He'll get them organised when he's a good coach. And it's whether they buy anything we had a little chat about it last week and you were saying it's the language thing. Will they buy into it? Will he be given the right amount of time? How will he be interpreted in terms of by the fans if it doesn't go well quickly? I think sometimes with someone like Henry who we've been fans of before was very good at PSG. People have shown it's difficult at PSG Arsenal. It was so, so. But fantastic villa there Al. So we could argue Spain is his place but this is his opportunity but it's results isn't it? You need results just to calm everything down and then do as well. He's going to have six weeks to train. We'll play every single day. Get the shape get the organisation. That's a huge boost for the coach. Huge. I think they play Man United this weekend. So it's not going to be easy for them. They've got a couple of tough games and they come back with a couple of tough games. It's not going to be easy. He's straight off the bat but it's up to him to get them organised. I think they've got United twice on their up and they've got United next week in the Caravocals as well. It's not going to be easy for them. They've got players that drop under the pitch filler. They've got goals in the Danyings Olly Walkins, Bailey's there. Full on they'll edit nil. They've got the cliche for edit and full on. Durable seven. The first time they have failed to score at home this season. That fact I think it's only the second game they've failed to score in. So well done editing stopping them scoring really. Virgil van Dijklos this first ever Premier League home game the weekend. It's just an incredible feat. They were beating 3-1 at home to Leeds United. Strange game. Strange result. Being there to talk about Leeds last week funny enough on the show and we were saying how everyone had them down for like doom and gloom and Jesse Martin was just like look at the table look at the points. The one win away from being back in the mix and this is the win. Of course but that's the Premier League at the moment there's no need to panic for anyone at the moment no one's ever too far away and they've got the win at the place you'd expect at least. That's what happens in football that's what happens and they've got a last minute winner and Liverpool just aren't anywhere near where they've been. I think the first goal showed that just how much chaotic and van Dijk looks like he's got his slippers on for the World Cup and very very strange football club and yet in the Champions League they've got the same points as Napoli Napoli around being flying in the Champions League but in the Premier League they're all over the gas so but brilliant win for Leeds not 100% sure about Jesse Martin's celebrations but why not? He's not had many wins so let him enjoy it. Last minute I failed the decent result but the goals are great the first goal what Alison's doing is beyond me. Joe Goldman's with Diolch Nolw Liverpool just looked no I don't know they just looked tired they had 70% possession they had 22 attempts at goal and 10 on target Leeds goal was great Leeds had 14 and 6 on target but in those big moments Liverpool just looked off they just lost a 12 in the bottom 3 within a week Liverpool really tended not to do that regularly over the last 5 or 6 years so that Forrest bottom of the league last week beat them Leeds in the bottom 3 on Saturday beat them in fact Leeds Leeds were bottom 12 and I was going to come into the city so that one that says it all doesn't it if that doesn't make any sense what you just said but Christ anyhow some of it with the winner if you watch the Leeds Academy think he's in it a lot he's a good little player but he's a well taken goal tremendous for all those Leeds fans within any role except that one that one who everyone knows who he is except him okay he's been banned Arsenal beat Forrest 5,000 on Sunday truck's act to the end of time he's just travelled around for a full game a game could I just when are they playing I said tomorrow forrest they went to Fagnell a game that was on at 2 o'clock on Sunday and was not on TV in the UK and neither was any of the game no no no Liverpool would grab the last spot the whole thing's like the broadcast in this country is pathetic it's pathetic but basically the wedge Liverpool and it's 7.45 Saturday night that meant Arsenal couldn't be on on Sunday because there's only so many spots every game should be available and it should be none of this 3 o'clock bollocks are there or they can't show live games on saturday at 3 should be able to every game it's 2022 it should be able to go on it is I forgot but forrest Martin Ellie with a good goal Reese Nelson who spent last season on the final with a brace Thomas Party with a very similar goal so the one he scored against Spears should be playing it up now and Martin Odegard with a goal as well so 5-0 forrest Arsenal back-toping league unbelievable their 10th win in 12 Premier League matches outstanding talked about players you've made an impact Sandro Martinis come in and another clean sheep I never knew there could be people called Sandro who would be good at football Liz Sandro, that's why no, flying out another West Ham are unlucky they missed some big chances later on and also why were they in Blackpool's kit why were they in Blackpool's kit I switched it on and literally I thought it was like Premier League hits where they show old games I was like where's Charlie Adam why isn't he running through midfield not running through midfield jogging white and orange what was all that about they were just shy of DJ Campbell and Brett tell you what though bossed by Rashford proper old school great header right through the goalie no mess and loved that loved each coming into a bit of form a header that well cut David the Hayermate 3 who is not in the Spain 55 which means Spain must have the greatest goalies in the world it's a bit of a madman isn't it Arsenal top of the Premier League 31 points in 12 games Manchester City 29 in 12 then comes Spares 26 from 13 I was in 2 a game Newcastle in 4th with 24 from 13 then Manchester United who people have totally written off have got 23 from 12 if they won the game an would go level with Spares Chelsea 21 from 12 at the bottom forest 9 from 13 and a minus 20 goal difference at the moment Wolves have got 10 points from 13 games Manchester City 11 from 13 so there you go that is it for another week of Premier League show we will be back next week check out the playlist over on 888 sports youtube channel leave a comment tell them we sent you and make sure the answer is James Tarkowski to the question he's at the most impact in fact throw him and Conacody I didn't want to put Conacody just because he's not formally an Everton player he's not formally an Everton player he's not just put James Tarkowski I'm saying formally no I know you're in the wrong matter to move on Tarkowski is the answer bye
