This is one helluva a strange experience.
Denied the opportunity to host this week’s ScoutCast by BT’s shortcomings and with the Wildcard active, I am forced to join you and eavesdrop while my decision-making is torn apart by Andy, Jonty, Az and Luke.
I have to admit, it’s pretty tortuous.
It’s like my hands are firmly fastened to the couch while the quartet lapdance* their critique around me. How I want to get involved.
Aside from appraising my “ill-timed” Wildcard, the boys tackle your other community questions.
They consider the Liverpool double-up, ponder whether midfield coverage can replace either Kane and Lukaku, debate if Alonso is essential and then look at how fixtures can shape cheap defensive acquisitions.
I’m pretty sure they answer them all exactly as I would. In fact, listening back, they appear to justify my Wildcard for me. I can hardly wait for next week.
*writer cannot call on any personal experience, here.
