It’s Episode 53 of It’s Called Soccer, as Taylor Twellman, Theo Walcott, and host Rebecca Lowe unpack another massive week across football 🔥 The show kicks off with Ryder Cup reactions before shifting into the Premier League spotlight. Arsenal’s win over Newcastle has Theo falling back in love with the game — he doesn’t see a weakness in this Arsenal side. Taylor adds that if Arsenal can replicate that performance in the biggest matches, it could truly be “their year.” Liverpool’s defeat comes next. Theo makes the case for Oliver Glasner as the best manager outside of the top six, while Taylor questions Liverpool’s vulnerability and Wirtz’s role. Theo even argues Manchester United should go all in for Glasner. From there, it’s Sunderland praise, with Granit Xhaka singled out as a brilliant signing. The crew then dive into the hot topic of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. Attention then turns to West Ham and Nuno Espírito Santo’s arrival, before moving stateside: Sergio Busquets’ retirement — is he the greatest defensive midfielder of all time? — and Sam Surridge’s impressive MLS season. The episode wraps up with Chelsea vs Liverpool as Pick of the Week, and a lively Question of the Week: would a US-style draft ever work in the Premier League? ⚽️ Subscribe now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts to catch every episode of It’s Called Soccer. 00:00 Ryder Cup chat05:54 Promo06:40 Arsenal’s last-minute winner v Newcastle14:12 Crystal Palace beating champions and leaders Liverpool22:38 Sunderland’s brilliant start28:19 More pressure on Ruben Amorim at Manchester United31:50 West Ham appoint Nuno Espírito Santo35:00 Sergio Busquets retiring and Sam Surridge in US Open’s Cup final41:50 Picks of the week45:24 Question of the week
