S1 - Ep 036 - Cracks Continue At Villa Park

0:00 — 10:00 Tejas opens with the Villa Park intro and hands over to Sandeep. Sandeep delivers a wide-ranging verdict on the defeat — the defensive shape, the high line, being outrun, and why he believes the players stopped playing for Slot some time ago. 10:00 — 20:00 Tejas runs through the goals and key match stats. Slot’s post-match quotes are discussed, including his set-piece admission. The conversation turns to whether there is any data-based case for keeping Slot — and both hosts conclude there isn’t, with Tejas adding the Diogo Jota factor as the one context stat numbers cannot measure. 20:00 — 30:00 Sandeep draws the Brendan Rodgers parallel and argues the club is in a full transition. Tejas reads out Salah’s Instagram post in full and the pair dissect what it means — the “heavy metal” line, the timing, and whether Salah had the right to say it publicly. 30:00 — 40:00 The full list of players who liked Salah’s post is read out, including current first-team players. Both hosts agree it reads as a dressing-room message to the board. Xabi Alonso signing for Chelsea is discussed — and whether Liverpool ever had a genuine chance to appoint him. 40:00 — 45:00 The Brentford final-day preview.
