What might the obstacles to success be, and what would the move mean for his national team career?3) Should MLS consider pushing for in game/split screen commercials like you see in Liga MX games?4) When a team knows its opponent is poor at offensive set pieces, does that change their defensive approach in open play?5) What has happened to Sheffield United this season?6) Why do teams from Wales take part in the English Football League, but not teams from Northern Ireland?7) With Jordan Morris likely moving to Swansea, what's the latest on their ownership, manager, tactics, and overall performance this season?8) How long will Wilfred Ndidi stay at Leicester and, if he moves, what destination makes the most sense?9) Do we like daily fantasy sites for soccer, and could they help soccer catch on even more in the US?10) What's the best way to financially support women's soccer in America?Sponsors!Blue Nile!

Taylor talks to The Athletic's Carl Anka about a lot of different topics (the best West African dish, why the transfer market might be a dud this January, and writing children's books with a certain famous footballer, but it's mostly about Manchester United. Here's the basic idea we try to make sense of: Manchester United are a team surrounded by and composed of question marks, but that fact doesn't seem to be having the negative impact it might elsewhere. Plus, how good is Marcus Rashford and what does he need to improve in his game, what's gone wrong for Anthony Martial, which players are limiting what the team wants to do stylistically, Solskjaer's preferred tactics, and the future of Paul Pogba. All that AND Carl admits Weston McKennie is good and requests that the internet stop bullying him.Sponsors!Blue Nile! Thinking of popping the question?

Ryan Bailey, Taylor Rockwell and Graham Ruthven are back to discuss an eventful weekend for the beautiful game!0.00 - Liverpool vs. Manchester Utd: The Premier League’s top-of-the-table clash was a little *Gegendepressing* but there were positives for both defenses. Plus, Graham gets in to the reason behind the downturn in form of Liverpool’s front three.28.40 - Wolves vs. West Brom: The Black Country Derby didn’t fail to disappoint, with five goals in Big Sam’s first league win with the Albion. Wolves, meanwhile, are not in a good place. 45.10 - Inter Milan vs. Juventus: Once upon a time, not so long ago, Juventus were imperious. They would have had the league wrapped up by this stage. Not so much this season, where they sit in fifth after being dominated by Conte’s Inter. 61.20 - Barcelona vs Athletic Club: It was all Kalimotxos and trumpet solos in Seville on Sunday, where Athletic Bilbao claimed a Super Cup victory over Barca, in which Leo Messi made an unceremonious early exit. Sponsors!Blue Nile!
