E135: From low lines of engagement to almost winning the Premier League
It's just another day in paradise for The Football Manager Football Show.
March turns into April this week as we continue the live-plays in studio where fresh from their exit of both the Champions League and FA Cup at the hands of Arsenal and Man City respectively, Liverpool start the month with a tough home fixture against Chelsea before heading on to Leeds while Newcastle are waiting in the wings. If cup competitions aren't Ken's thing this season, is there enough left in the tank to see the league over the line? m
For Shane - fresh from a trip to AEW All In - there's the small matter of some tactical adjustments where a low line of engagement and low block haven't been cutting the mustard at Hoffenheim. With a few tweaks, he may have actually found the key to unlocking Eddie Nketiah - something that has the potential to lift Hoffenheim towards European qualification
While the games tick down into single figures for the rest of the season, Ken's set a task to "save the save" while we get an update on what's happening with Benfica as the Portuguese spin-off heads for a fourth season.
