Fulham Vs Crystal Palace Hot Takes
The Hot Takes part of the programme, which usually involves heated arguments, mental sparring and jokes galore, went down a different path.
Each guest usually gets a quickfire 90 seconds to state their case, but this week's Hot Takes starts with a fan outside Old Trafford claiming that football in the 1990s and early 2000s was way better than what is on offer today.
Ollie and Sammy take up the cudgels to defend the modern game, before working their way through some big debating points that have surfaced in recent weeks
Instead of picking a winner, programme host Dan Muino lets his guests do the talking on issues that bug fans of the Premier League.
Here’s what Ollie and Sammy chat about this week:
- Football in the 1990s and early 2000s was better than what is on offer today
- Creativity is being coached out of players
- Set-pieces are becoming too prominent in the game
- How can we stop goalkeepers from going down for treatment in order to stop the match
- VAR can make football difficult to watch
