The Final Whistle: Game Week 28 - The Heat Is On!

0:00America leads the world in medicine development. It matters. We get new medicines first nearly three years faster. Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us. Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures. Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead. Learn how at americacures.com. Pay for by farmer. Ben, let's start with Liverpool. Why?

1:00For eating, sir. And keep risotto on paper. What did you make of it? What did you make of the team line? Overall, Liverpool's response to the crunch end of the season now because obviously like there was torque and speculation after so he the months to gain when you were nice for where we were like, I'm not sure when we get a championship for all that's where we were. So your overall overriding thoughts and everything. And two goals and two for move. We can't stop that in there as well. Yeah, yeah, it's been a result of us. It's been a good response to that kind of setback performance wise. I thought Liverpool were quite through again, to be honest yesterday. I basically, it's from me. I don't think I've ever seen a team score five and still been going to Wellland, but that's kind of the feeling that I've got. I mean, don't get me right. I don't want to be too negative. I think there was some positives to take. I thought I was in with brilliant again. I was to score another set piece as great to see. I could take it from well, but yeah, I thought West Ham was awful as well. I thought it was

2:05two pretty poor teams, to be honest. Yeah, and I think I do think that I do agree with you because of of course, as everyone knows, it was a three o'clock kickoff. So maybe maybe a lot of people didn't get to watch it live and maybe they caught with the highlights. But what I noticed was errors and mistakes were still then. I felt like architects of our own kind of downfall in those moments. You know, those little brain fart moments, I think for, I think it was less important now. It was a header, just, you know, just being pretty, you know, very kind, yes, we are. You kind of expect a little bit more and yeah, it was a good job that local had a bit of a like a breeding space because if it was just maybe a one gold margin, I think you, I and the average local sport would be like just kind of holding out breath and thinking, oh my god, yeah, I'm going to go corner in your opinion. Are you seeing signs of positivity?

3:08What do you mean? Because it is the quench under the season. And like, these are three points. And that's what we should focus on. And I'm glad that you've highlighted that, which I can look positive. But how do you feel about this? I mean, Liverpool are still in the I think a little bit sees where they are, the less games they have the better. But they are in the FA we want them to do. But overall, do you see signs of improvement? Do you get a pathway for this team to kind of navigate themselves forward? And of course, some results have kind of benefited Liverpool as well in the Premier League this week. And it's got to be honest. So your thoughts on that one? Yeah, I think there's a there's a balance to be had because I think, you know, you can definitely be in the camp to think similarly on as far as in the Manatee Liverpool forward. And you definitely be in the board of being critical of different past season. But I think you'd be kind of unfair to say that there hasn't been some sort of improvement. And, you know, the results

4:09all are at the end of the day. Whether it's enough of an improvement, I'm going to reach out at the end of the season. But yeah, there's these glimmers of hope. And I might just say that other sides faltering around this kind of helps our situation lots. So yeah, balls that made me another opportunity to build some more points just three behind us. And the other I think, oh, so yeah, there's definitely no need to be too down here. Don't worry. So yeah, hopefully we can kick on. We can't kick on to some other little side results as well. So the point of Saturday games, Bournemouth won, Sunderland won. I take this thing one, Brent and Bernley three, Brentford four. I mean, that Brentford went three in a row. And of course, the two offside goals for Bournemouth are like that, like a bit interesting to exciting game. Of course, Liverpool five, two, Newcastle two, Everton three. That whole trend is still carrying on forever to where they are really good

5:11away from to be where they seem to be striking Belly look in the Premier League. And then the major near Man City one applying that pressure, you know, yesterday there were like even on two points in it. It's looking very exciting. I mean, we'll talk about, you know, the kind of focus on Man City's game. You know, it got a red card at the end of that game because it felt like you know, I saw his way. Man City, of course, winning their game. I think I'm seeing a lot of positivity in the number city in this crunch. And I think they've kind of realised that there is a bit of a no opening. And maybe they do, they are sniffing a bit of blood. But I do think you keep highlighting Man City. And that's because I think about Man City as well, like, are they consistent? Can they hold on to it? Because on paper, they do have good plays. Yes, maybe what they had five years ago, but they still have very good, really night that. But it's whether or not they can have

6:15discipline. And, you know, that momentum to keep going because it is like a, it's as well, you know, dealing with this very new kind of pressure. You know, you have to acknowledge that. So both thoughts of Man City there are they genuinely in or do you still think they have in them? And of course, the biggest hack was that the whole boobing got a, you know, to make some plays just, you know, just need to energise themselves, which I think we let themselves down here. Ben, I think they've already got a bit of a bad stereotype for a repetition in as as a fan base in general. I think a lot of people do have those that cover them in any light at all in my, I think more overall thoughts on everything what I just said. Because there's a lot of talking. Well, yeah, just on that incident, it's just an absolute bunch of videos, isn't it? I know, you know, I think every fan base has them, but yeah, it's not a good look at all.

7:20Actually, just purely pursued pity. And obviously, you know, you don't want to paint the whole fan base with one brush because a few idiots can well, a lot of people down and then, you know, we've had it as a club as well. But yeah, I'm on Man City. I think while the scene, especially in the past six weeks, I think Arsenal's level has dropped. And I think Man City's levels went up. And yeah, that win last night was just so kind of reminiscent of those games where we would be open, Man City, drop points, entire races, and they're just a sneaker one, they'll. But the good thing for Man City is that it'll never be anywhere in the levels of the way in recent years to, to win the league this year, you know, you know, you know, they're going to essentially be kind of team to win the leagues, I think Arsenal have a lot of work on as well. In terms of tire races, I probably go maybe 64 or 8 Arsenal, and I really think it's cool, because I think Arsenal's performances really have been really, really good.

8:22Yeah, they've been really poor. And just a quick highlight and a touch up on Newcastle as well, of course, I think they have Barcelona into Champions League, obviously the draws have been made. But, you know, losing at home, two, three, two everton, I mean, like there must be a lot of good disgruntled like Jordi's with, you know, you think it'd be a very easy to me point for the game, especially with that being, getting things to Newcastle as well, and being able to win the Champions League. It is looking a bit, you know, a bit underwhelming for them as well, because they kind of weren't quiet, then they were quietly getting on with it. They were calling me, I mean, behind Sunderland, that must really bug them actually. What do you think about that? Sunderland, they're ahead of them. You know, what do you make of it? And I think it's just a bit, yeah, what do you make of that? Because that is your neck, what is the temperature among the supporters?

9:23Yeah, it's not good. It's not good at all. I think the weirdest part of all this Newcastle team is, you know, St James's part, this season hasn't been a place where anyone's feared and that sort of unlike St James's part, and you look around Sunderland and they're not in a group or when themselves really. They haven't won away from home in the league since October, and, you know, I don't pretty bad run themselves yet, still find themselves above Newcastle, that hasn't helped things, but you've got the Derby in a few weeks, which is going to be a brilliant game. Yeah, kind of get the popcorn out for that one. Hey, it's Sophia Wilson, athlete and gold medalist, and this summer, my wardrobe is being perfected with Abacrombie's newest drop. I'm a girl who loves jeans, and Abacrombie's new Linne and Blendin has changed the game for me. They have that lightweight feel for summer, but the outfits I live in all summer are matching sets.

Oh yeah, definitely, and I think everyone will appreciate that, and I have to say I'm so glad that that that Derby is, because it's always been such a... in the premier week, so yeah, if we're looking forward to that. Well, what summer today's results? So Brighton too, not going to... For them two spares, I mean, things are not looking great with Derby. I think it was a bad appointment anyway. I think a lot of people kind of ran it. That one just in general,

11:24I don't even know if it's like an emergency, the glass situation kind of, but very rushed and not considered, and this is where you and I were speaking about slot and lot. We were like, hard a reaction, it has to be a response, and this appointment, I've got to do it all feels very much like a reaction, Frank not doing well. I mean, that's my tip. We've been really spoken about Frank Sacking and Tudor coming in, because you know, they did a lot of breaks and obviously me being one well, but I mean, you're... Yeah, I mean, I'm not convincing. I think the biggest worry for Totten is, do those plays really kind of... I've said the fact that the really relegation baller that they really willing to scrap yet, I don't think they are. I think they're kind of in denial and kind of believe that they're good to be in that position, which we all know isn't the case, but you just look at West Town and Forests who are really fighting for their rivals and Tottenham,

12:27you're just not getting that forestfall, are you from... Yeah, they've kind of dropped the Eagles and get on with it otherwise. I think they're in serious, serious trouble. Indeed, now let's talk about a game that does two games that kind of impact us, because we are fighting for the Champions League. It's got a plaque and a normal, well, I've got some date for Liverpool supporters, didn't it, today. I mean, Manchester City night, she kind of took the knee quite early on, held on to it, Fernandez and Cessko, who's ready coming. Every time I feel like Manianite is scoring, Cessko always gets things, which is quite remarkable considering we, you were not how underwhelming these new strikers did actually build, you know, like these big signings, like the Cessko's, but Manianite, I mean, what you made, I mean, I think you were on the show, I think you were on the show, but I made a statement and a prediction to be said, oh, they'll do

13:33really well on the carry. They'll give me my contract and I feel like, are they going to sort of start to, you know, to put it in like, that is my prediction on the whole thing and next season it all goes to, but again, they are doing well, you have to just accept that and say what they are doing at this all, send that, be a bit of resilience about them, but your thoughts. Well, yeah, from a Liverpool point of view, it's kind of a fine line, because obviously we're at a battle with them to get champions of football, so you never wanted to do too well. Well, you know, I would be, in long term, it would be quite interesting to see if we did give current the job, what would happen, I think that could suit everyone else long term. Yeah, I mean, with Tesco, as long as you've got someone like Bruno from, and there's putting balls in like that, you've always got a chance to score and then I mean, you know, as Liverpool fans, we all have all feelings on Bruno for that, and there's go what a player he is. He really is a special player.

14:35I hope that I've prepared to see even this year for me to be honest. You know what I saw also was highlighting as well that you might have like, tweaked into there now. They're in, you know, they're third in the Premier League, so, you know, as much as we mock and laugh at the most, they have been quietly just getting on with it, and you know, pushing an Aston Villa out of that is a big kind of thing for them. I think we may have last been, but we're almost 12 years old, so hopefully we're getting back, but I'll carry on talking, and let's talk about Arsenal, and oh, I think we might have been back, let's see if we can get him. Ah, he's bad. Liverpool, you didn't even need to be better. So we're on Arsenal 2, Chelsea 1, Suv, Liverpool, doesn't quite seem to tie a raise. I do feel like

15:37that game, but Arsenal and Mancée is going to be a huge one in this whole title decided thing. I think that's where I think people will kind of make an assumption. Mancée of her game in hand, but they can't ask no. I mean, we've lost him again. I'll carry on talking. I just feel like actually there will be the most, which is the most owning sparring team to watch in the Premier League. It's definitely something that a lot of people are disgruntled. The people, you know, it's just always about set pieces. That's all they seem to get. Ball score was as well. It's a knee bat and team bat today who scored for them. And, you know, it's a bit like, I mean, as a club that, you know, they are getting goals from their centre bats, but they've not got like a, I don't think they do have a genuine vocal point in lack an attacker or somebody that will get them the goals. And with regards to Chelsea, I think, you know, this is where they've kind of fallen. Like they have fallen out of the hall. Top five, they're currently six.

16:40And I found that the one for five points, Liverpool, the one for four to eight. You know, this is where they're at the moment. Maybe we can get Ben back. Yeah. Yeah, so those are my inquiries. Hey, Ben. Welcome back. So I've just kind of spoke about Arsenal then. I just said they're really on Instagram. When it comes ever, if they're really, if you are saying they're the 60% chance, the fact that the two defenders scored for them as well, you know, like, can they've had great for Arsenal support, but highlights to me that they don't really have or could point in the attack still. It's a little bit like this by them by your arrest. And, uh, yeah, um, uh, Chelsea, which they're new managers. Well, it's like a bit of a big test for him because I don't think he's got all paid a lot of big teams, but just your whole takeaways on everything what I just said and your whole analysis of Arsenal just that just

17:46goes corners and set pieces. Yeah, I was hoping to kind of dodge the Arsenal talks. To be honest, that's why I couldn't be nipped off, but, um, no, yeah, it's a good win for them. Um, yeah. The one thing I had a Pedro net, or I don't know what he's doing, absolutely stupid from them to get a red card. I kind of feel for us seeing you a little bit because, you know, the Arsenal winner, I mean, what Sanchez doing. He was absolutely terrible at it. Um, I mean, the fact that they spend a billion pound and he's still in golf for them is baffled, um, and then Pedro now will get sent off for that. And it's just, you know, there's a manager. You just, you're pulling your hair out, aren't you? But yeah, it's a big win for Arsenal. Yeah, he's a fastener. I think that's what's pretty much covered the entire Premier League that are running back. It's getting to the busy end of the pair. I mean, if any final takeaways from this game week 28,

18:46anything you want to share, even from the previous week clubs, anything you want to put out there. Um, I tell you, I've got a bit of a hot take and maybe, I've been thinking for a couple of weeks, for maybe saying it now isn't so much of a hot take after that Friday night. But I, I'm sorry, I got a feeling the Villa one actually finished in the top five. Another feeling them, uh, it was my United and Chelsea could all finish above them, to be honest. Um, I feel like, if you're not going to go, how will the world start the season when I'm not kind of freakish run? Um, and maybe receiving kind of going back to town awards level a bit. So I'll be interested to see how and where they finished by the end of the season. I completely forgot that was a game I'm on on on Friday. And of course, um, I asked him in lances, which is, you know, a huge blow for them. Yeah, I agree with that one. And it's mad because it played really well one season.

19:47They got champion felt to the sidelines, which you kind of expect, because the numbers and the amount of players that you have. And then they kind of reversed that to one season for the end of the season, which is where do you have the other season, because they started off with not getting any wins. I think what can stay in scoring edges? Like winning. And now I've got enough to boil again. But yeah, it's a good hot take. And I think it's one that people should keep an eye on. One point, it looked like it was virtually impossible for teams that were running at one point of the roll. So even considered it in the title race. And of course, they completely steamrolled by Arsenal. I think we remember that game of such a room. The well-mean result from trying to cause an upset. Or, you know, put their knee into the mix. So yeah, I expect Ben. It's been, it's going to be really busy. And I'm really, really busy. What are you working on for AI? I got to let people know and where can people find you.

20:50Yes, it depends on Twitter. My work goes on that. And I'm the patient, by the way. He's all with the role. So back there, which is, and it's just for all of us, it's a number of the irons. Yes, it is. And so yeah, I think it's environmental. It's a cut Ben's work. I could do follow him on his social media on Twitter as well. But my part, obviously, back with the final whistle. But you've been sitting kicks off of the Champions League. I'll be back with that as well. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much for listening. And huge thank you to Ben. Take it out.
