    Como 4-1 Manchester United: Nico Paz SHOW & Fabregas Future
    Oct 22 2026
    COMO 4–1 MANCHESTER UNITED: NICO PAZ MASTERCLASS Nico Paz produced a Champions League masterclass as Como defeated Manchester United 4–1 at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Nima Tavallaey and Sheridan Bird analyse the Argentine star’s two goals and assist—and debate just how high his ceiling could be. 🔵 CESC FÀBREGAS: BARCELONA OR ARSENAL NEXT? Cesc Fàbregas continues to enhance his coaching reputation at Como, but where could he go next: Barcelona or a return to Arsenal? The discussion then turns to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lautaro Martínez. Why are different standards applied when deciding whether a Serie A star should remain in Italy or pursue a move abroad? Can Antonio Conte win the Champions League only when his team is not competing on other fronts? Why did Arsenal remain patient with Mikel Arteta while Juventus dismissed Andrea Pirlo after only one season? Plus, what is happening with the proposed Serie A international TV-rights deal—and would Simone Inzaghi’s Lazio have won the Scudetto without the COVID interruption? 🔴 GET THE COMPLETE Q&A IMMEDIATELY AND AD-FREE Unlock the complete extended Q&A as one ad-free episode without waiting for all three free clips: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Premium Feed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube Memberships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🎥 WATCH THE COMPLETE PREMIUM Q&A DIRECTLY Watch On YouTube — Members Only: ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Extended Q&A introduction 00:21 – Como 4–1 Manchester United: How good is Nico Paz? 04:45 – Cesc Fàbregas: Barcelona or Arsenal next? 09:31 – Kvaratskhelia vs Lautaro: Staying or leaving Serie A? 14:47 – Can Antonio Conte win the Champions League? 18:27 – Arsenal’s patience with Arteta vs Juventus sacking Pirlo 23:27 – Serie A’s proposed international TV-rights deal 30:41 – Would Inzaghi’s Lazio have won the Scudetto without the COVID interruption? 💬 HOW GOOD CAN NICO PAZ BECOME?

    Oct 19 2026
    JUVENTUS 0–3 LAZIO: HUMILIATION IN TURIN Lazio dismantle Juventus 3–0 at the Allianz Stadium to complete the best start to a Serie A season in club history. Nima Tavallaey and Carlo Garganese analyse how Gennaro Gattuso transformed the Biancocelesti into joint Serie A leaders—and why Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus have fallen into crisis. ⚫⚪ ARE JUVENTUS THE MANCHESTER UNITED OF SERIE A? Have Juventus become a historically dominant institution trapped in a recurring cycle of poor recruitment, managerial upheaval and institutional decline? The guys debate whether Spalletti can fix the crisis or if Juventus’ problems extend far beyond the coach. 🔷 ALLEGRI UNDER PRESSURE AT NAPOLI Massimiliano Allegri is also under severe pressure after Napoli suffer a shock 1–0 defeat against Venezia.

Roma return to winning ways against Genoa through a magical Santi Castro finish, while Nico Paz and Mattia Liberali score stunning goals as Como beat Fiorentina 3–1 and extend the Viola’s alarming freefall. 🏆 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PREVIEW Nima and Carlo preview Como vs Manchester United, Napoli vs Bodø/Glimt, Inter vs Shakhtar Donetsk and Roma vs Slovan Bratislava.
