The Game Football Podcast

Under Pressure!

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, Alyson Rudd and Tony Cascarino. Aston Villa looked like a different team this past weekend as they put 4 past Brentford. Were the players not backing Steven Gerrard? (00:00) Leicester also scored four goals, thrashing Wolves without reply. Is the pressure off Brendan Rodgers now? (18:08) Wolves are still looking for a new manager - are they right to keep Steve Davis in place until the near year? (21:35) Leeds are sliding further into the bottom three. Does Jesse Marsch have much time to turn things around? (25:38) Fulham are seventh in the Premier League - but how!? (33:14) Steve Cooper was awarded a new contract when Forest were on a huge winless run - they’ve now beaten Liverpool, so is this the start of the turnaround? (36:38) Everton backed Frank Lampard and that looks to have paid off too. What can we expect from Frank Lampard’s side next? (43:18) Newcastle are fourth after a 2-1 win at Tottenham. Eddie Howe is happy, Antonio Conte isn’t - but what did we learn from the game? (51:02) Get more of The Times and The Sunday Times for less than £1 a day.
