About this episode
The Lads discuss St. Louis City's draw with NYCFC, Spurs' new coach De Zerbi, and recap a thrilling FA Cup weekend while previewing upcoming Champions League matches.
The Lads break down a mixed weekend for St. Louis City after a late 1–1 draw with NYCFC, debating whether McScorely has earned a starting spot and calling out the overall lack of excitement in the performance. From there, the conversation shifts to Spurs under De Zerbi, with plenty of questions about what his arrival really means for a squad in flux. The crew also dives into a wild FA Cup weekend — City smashing Liverpool 4–0, Chelsea cruising 7–0 past Port Vale, and Arsenal stumbling in a shock 1–2 loss to Southampton. To wrap things up, they look ahead to the upcoming Champions League fixtures, offering predictions, tactical angles, and the matchups that could define the next round. Lets Banter!
