Wastes of money, most versatile player a...

THE TIMES
About this episode

It was a weekend of two halves - Chelsea, Spurs and Fulham all came back from two goals down at half time...only Fulham didn't hang on. As Man City wobbled they looked to have lost their swagger - Gregor Robertson thinks it is clear why. Chelsea came back to win, but why did they make so many changes in the first place? 

There was plenty of moaning about VAR but if it was taken away would fans be accepting or would the referee abuse just get worse? 

Alyson Rudd thinks Alexander Isak could be a waste of money, as Wirtz and Ekitike shine, can they really play all three?

Lastly who is the Premier League's most versatile player?


Tom Clarke is joined by Alyson Rudd, Gregor Robertson and Pete Rutzler
