Jonathan praises Anderson and Madueke but Jacqui questions whether England are on track, as fans need to believe they can win, ahead of the World Cup next year.

We begin with Man United, and Alyson isn’t impressed at how challenging Amorim’s side found it at home to Burnley.  Charlie considers the situation a shambles and Julien believes Amorim doesn’t have the personality to succeed. Next to Nicolas Jackson, who looked to be getting a dream move to Bayern Munich, until Liam Delap got injured.  David Ornstein comes on to the pod and considers whether Chelsea will sign another striker, or use Jackson as their striker this season. Then to talk last minute transfer news, and Keith Downie reports on Yoane Wissa’s statement to force Newcastle move.  Julien thinks the price tag is a big ask from Brentford and Charlie questions Wissa’s professionalism. Later in the pod, we return to Manchester United and we're joined by Samuel Luckhurst from the Manchester Evening News, who fills us in on the latest situation with Ruben Amorim.  Sam thinks Amorim may have underestimated the size of the job at Man United but believes he will still be in charge for the Manchester derby. Finally, we look at the VAR controversy robbing teenager Josh King of the opening goal in the West London derby against Chelsea.  Alyson is stern in her view that there was no foul and that the decision goes against the spirit of VAR Running Order: 4mins United’s Struggles 17mins Ornstein on Jackson 36mins Wissa forces Newcastle move 49mins Amorim’s future 65mins VAR Controversy

Finally, we look at Jonathan’s piece on how players get their desired move, and subsequently look at the continuing Isak saga; John argues Newcastle can’t show a sign of weakness and let him go.   Running Order: 8mins Is it Arsenal’s year?  21mins Will Nuno walk from Forest? 25mins Spurs’ win at City  44mins Is Potter’s time with Hammers ticking? 51mins Isak transfer Saga

Resurgent Man City | Frank's Flying Start | Sunderland Back With A Bang

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by The Independent’s Miguel Delaney, The Times’ Charlotte Duncker and The Guardian’s Jonathan Liew to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin talking transfers, and whilst Eberechi Eze looks likely to be on his way to Tottenham, the Alexander Isak saga continues as Newcastle look for necessary replacements. Next we discuss David De Gea’s possible return to Old Trafford.  Whilst Charlotte considers De Gea a better shot-stopper than Onana, but still believes it to be an unlikely move. Elsewhere, we discuss the racist incident against Antoine Semenyo.  Miguel talks about the importance of education outside of just football, and Charlotte praises how quickly it was dealt with. We also praise Man City’s resurgent start to the new season; Pep’s rebuild looks impressive after their opening game, but are City back?

Is it now or never for Arteta at Arsenal?  Also, is time running out for rivals Man United?  Plus, we discuss Thomas Frank’s flying start to the new season, and a reignited Richarlison spark.  Is top five asking for too much for Tottenham this season? Finally, Sunderland are back with a bang!
