Man United, Aston Villa or Spurs... Who's in REAL trouble already?

from The Sports Agents

The Premier League is back and there were plenty of shocks in the opening weekend, not least Spurs being beaten out of sight by Brentford and Hull City taking Manchester United apart.But who has more to worry about: Manchester United’s Michael Carrick or Spurs’ Robert De Zerbi?Gabby, Nedum & Mark get stuck into two very different problems and two very different ways to handle an opening day shock defeat: the Michael Carrick method of keep calm and carry on and Roberto De Zerbi’s slightly more fiery approach of publicly throwing players under the bus who are making you look bad.Also on the show, another shock defeat saw Aston Villa thumped 4-0 at Brighton. Less than nine months ago Unai Emery’s side were title contenders now they’ve sold their best players, more want to leave and Villa are staring down the barrel of a tough season - how did this happen and what does it say about the Premier League if only a few teams can afford to try and win it?Elsewhere we celebrate Liverpool v Newcastle the greatest head to head in Premier League history, Nedum gives us the inside scoop on an iconic Premier League penalty and 18 year old wonder kid Ayyoub Bouaddi is in the spotlight as his move to Manchester City takes a step closer.📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod📱Follow us on socials:TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagentsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod📥 Email: [email protected]💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6Executive Producer: Adonis PratsidesSenior Producer: David FinchVideo Producer: Samuel TrudgillSocial Media Editor: Jasmine WissartTom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast networkVicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for GlobalYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents".👕 The Sports Agents have merch!
