Matchday 22-23 is when the dust is starting to settle.  The league slammed yet another 20 matches during 7 days.  Is the league settled at the top and bottom?  Is it time to focus on Champions League and Europe spots?  We do a deep dive on the title hopes, recent failings and any resurrections. We review the Liverpool vs Man City game from a tactical perspective and from a player/s view.  We discuss the dimming prospects of London rivals Tottenham and Arsenal. We give a first take on the Tuchel revolution from a tactical perspective and his history with several players.  Finally, we cover the growing hope for Newcastle. 

We are sponsored by the Premier League Guide.  Moneyball for football.  Opposition Analysis + Eye Candy.  The current update available at www.thinkingfanmedia.com and on Amazon.  Please subscribe to Thinking Fan Football Club on Youtube and your favorite podcast platform.
