Liverpool Have the Squad - So Why Are They Still Stalling?
Premier League Weekend Review: City Cruise, Liverpool Stall, Tottenham Struggle This episode breaks down a busy Premier League weekend, with Manchester City looking sharp, Liverpool still searching for their first win, and Tottenham under heavy scrutiny after another loss. Ashili and Nana Kwame also preview the next round of fixtures and look at how the early table is taking shape. Key topics Manchester City’s 4-1 win over Crystal Palace stood out as the most complete performance of the weekend, with Ryan Cheki and Erling Haaland leading the charge. Crystal Palace’s lineup and travel fatigue were part of the discussion, along with how Cheki’s return to the starting XI changed City’s attacking rhythm. Liverpool’s slow start continues, with two matches producing two points and two draws, raising questions about form, coaching, and whether spending more money would even help. The panel argues Liverpool’s issue is less about signing stars and more about getting the existing squad to function tactically as a unit. Bradley Barcola and Cody Gakpo were mentioned in transfer talk, but the main point was that new names alone will not solve Liverpool’s structural issues. Tottenham’s 2-0 home loss to Newcastle United drew the harshest criticism, with both hosts questioning the squad’s discipline, chemistry, and defensive organization. Newcastle’s front three impressed, especially in transition, as the trio of Wesa, Ilanga, and Winlock were highlighted for their pace and counterattacking threat. Tottenham’s squad depth and balance were challenged, even though the conversation noted several recognizable names like Mamouche, Tonali, Kulusevsky, Madison, and Pedro Poro. Other weekend results included Liverpool drawing 2-2 with Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth drawing 1-1 with Everton, and Coventry losing 1-0 at home.
