Mark Chapman is joined by Conor Coady, Chris Sutton and, Adam Crafton as they react to Arsenal’s Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint Germain. PSG won their second consecutive Champions League title after beating Arsenal on penalties. The panel dissect Arsenal’s setup throughout the game and, whether Arsenal need to change their approach. Why do people get so frustrated watching Arsenal? How will Gabriel missing the deciding penalty impact him? Does Luis Enrique’s PSG need to be in the conversation with the great teams such as Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona.
Is Andoni Iraola the right replacement for Arne Slot at Liverpool? Liverpool have opened talks with the former Bournemouth manager. The panel discuss how hard the step up to manage a ‘Big 6’ club is. Slot spent two seasons at Anfield winning a Premier League title in his first season, so where did it all go wrong for the Dutchman?
And a number of rule changes have come in ahead of this summer’s World Cup. Our Football Issues Correspondent Dale Johnson joins the Monday Night Club to discuss them all.
