This is the Classics series, where we’re sharing great moments from the podcast all summer long. Next up? Carl Anka’s Premier League time machine.
The Athletic staff writer covers Manchester United and joined the podcast ahead of the derby with Man City in April, but we also surveyed the wider landscape of England’s top flight. Carl is one of today’s great tactical minds, and he explored how Nottingham Forest thrived last season, whether their blistering counterattacking style was a philosophical rebuttal of Pep Guardiola’s City, and whether teams that normally dominate possession should consider giving it up at times when facing a counterpuncher of Forest’s caliber.
With the new Premier League season just a month away, it’s time to take stock of the future.
