Great podcast guys, really value Joleon's insight into the details of high level performance, was really interesting to hear him talk about Ince, Irwin, youth players etc
Yaya was AMAZING and definitely does not get the recognition he deserves. He was great at Barca, he was great at City. His 13/14 season was incredible. The only thing that prevented him from getting Prem Player of the Year was Suarez, who also had a monster season.
No he isn't. Gerrard has more Ballon d'Or votes, FIFA player of the year votes, and more PL team of the year selections than Yaya. They were also voted by players in Gerrard's era.
You are like an old married couple. Absolute gold! I am With Ste on the list thing. i write shopping lists by the Isle, so start at special offers closest to the door through to checkout.

Cracking video! Both of you are spot on about the game approach of players these days (especially in the Premier League).They seem to be struggling to interpret the game in play. Adaptability, game management, flow. It seems the idea of tactics/set-ups are taking too much forefront in the minds of these players, and not all of them can adapt to that to full effect. While it works for some teams, it doesn't for all. Nearly all of the most successful and entertaining teams of times gone by have been made up partly by incredibly talented individuals that express themselves through their game and held together by highly driven grafters with good fundamentals and a lot of discipline. I think that balance was the key to their success. Football is drifting towards being just another physically dominated sport, and for me personally, it's taking the shine off the game. I always want to see the game improving, but I hope the technicality and flair that makes the beautiful game what it is isn't lost along the way. (Currently for me it is fading) Thanks for the interesting and articulate discussion gents 👍🏻 top quality content as always
Lescott is good without the constraints of saying stuff in 20seconds like when on TV. Applies to a lot of the current pundits (Ash included) in all honesty. But these long form conversations are so much better. Does Ste have a melt down when they change the stock in the aisles around?

@ashleywilliams I can confirm that ghosts are real, cause when I was younger I liver in a house that was possessed and I still jave nightmares about it now. My uncle came to stay over once and fell asleep on the couch and woke up in the middle on the night with it sitting on his chest. This is the normal thing in Zimbabwe
@ushmush4074 so what you want me to tell you the full story of how my uncle woke feel sick every day he said at our house for a week and when we went into the kitchen we would find the kitchen was cleaned spotless but all the meat in the freezer had been eaten packing and all and he would throw up all day meat packaging. Or how after about 3 months living in that house my whole family used to sleep in the car because it was a company house until they moved us to a different one cause of the things that happened and everyone saw ans felt in the house. Or that they had to have an exorcist visit the house cause on-one would live in that house after me moved out for the same reasons. In Zimbabwe we call them tokoloshe. Google it
Pleased for the kids of the ex players, though it's untrue to say that the best are invited for trial matches etc. They're effectively shut out. Like those few players from amateur teams who are better than me, I would also beat a huge percentage of pro players in matches who carry on in the game due to the anti competitive nature of the industry where the cost of setting up more matches and the attitude of the clubs (who don't wish to make more of an effort/ who want to place a high value on their own personal views on players rather than letting match scores indicate the best players) means they're never challenged by us better players. The quality of higher level teams suffers. I loved the performances of Andy Cole, though it wasn't only that WHUFC match, there was a lot of earlier matches where he had mares
Before even starting the vid I can say without a shadow of a doubt, Yaya is 10 times the player Gerrard dreamt of beeing.. Its not even close. Like comparing Suarez with Caroll...
I’m a United fan…..top five prem midfielders…..yaya is number 1…..then scholes, kdb, fabregas, gundogan…..others like Gerard, lampard, keane ( as a pure player not captain), viera, makalele, Essien, carrick, ballack 2nd tier

Lay in bed one night, woke up hearing my Mrs upstairs in the Bathroom, I then listened to her Flush, unlock the door and Start back down the Stairs, which ended outside our Bedroom door, I then expected to hear the Door open, and for her to come back in and climb into Bed, But as she hit the bottom stair, there was nothing, just Silence, as if she was standing outside the door at 4am and had frozen, before opening the door, and wasn't moving at all, perfect Still, and Silent.

In Gerrard's prime era, the best teams were United, Chelsea, Milan, Juve, Inter, Bayern, Madrid, and Barca. 5 out of those 8 teams wanted to sign him, but he refused.

He finished 7th with Torres & Mascherano. Griezmann played with Messi, Suarez etc but still has no La Liga. Gerrard’s hero ball antics couldn’t work in the league & that’s why he didn’t win it

@@TORRES999ify Reina, Glen, Carra, Skrtel, Agger, Lucas, Masch, Kuyt, Yossi & Torres. That lineup should not finish below agbonlahor & Carews Villa lol
@@TORRES999ify You’re making my point, Gerrard needed Alonso. Dropped from 2nd to 7th without him. Only made it out the CL group stage once without Alonso…
Ste: or kicking fans…
Ash: You might.
Look how far we’ve come 🥲
Lescott is so boring. Please don't have him on again.
Gerrard was voted for by his Premier league counterparts, people who are obviously a much better judge of player than some random losers on UA-cam, EIGHT times. A pl record. The truth is, its become hip and trendy to downplay gerrards ability. Ask Thierry Henry about gerrard.

Yaya all day long
