Mailbag: How should we judge Arne Slot’s second season?
About this episode
Marcus, Luke and Jim try to have a reasoned discussion about Arne Slot’s reputation after a middling second season and the looming figure of Xabi Alonso - but we keep returning to Marcus’ undying love for gammon.
Plus, we long for the return of the purely vibes-based manager, wonder if it’s too late for Harry Wilson to join a bigger club and try to find some aesthetically delightful players who were actually bang average.
