We break down what Carrick is really trying to build — possession, Mainoo's role, midfield balance — and whether Rashford and Bruno can thrive inside this structure, or if the setup is holding them back.

    Palmer Masterclass and Same Old Manchester Utd | Episode 27 (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The pod is back. We break down Chelsea's opening win over Fulham — the attacking promise, Palmer's brilliance under Alonso's direct style, and whether Joao Pedro already answers the striker question.

Plus Chelsea's transfer verdict, what they still need, and our early Premier League and relegation predictions.
