This is a Sports Talkshow and a Podcast mainly Focusing on the beautiful game of Football This is the Season 95 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD, In This Season we discuss: Player Performance Decline Discussion Trevor discussed a player's declining performance this season, noting that despite some good moments including a recent goal, the player has not performed at the high level expected in the Premier League. He attributed the decline to natural age-related loss of pace, comparing it to how small issues in mechanical systems become more apparent over time. Trevor expressed that while the player will be missed for their past contributions, particularly their ability to cut inside and curl the ball into the top corner, their career in the Premier League has likely come to an end. Liverpool Managerial Changes Discussion Trevor and Emmy discussed potential managerial changes at Liverpool Football Club, particularly regarding Xabi Alonso. Trevor expressed skepticism about Alonso getting the job, citing concerns about his public comments and the significant investment Liverpool has already made in their current setup. Trevor suggested that Jurgen Klopp might be given another season to turn things around, acknowledging his understanding of the club and good relationship with players. Liverpool's Manager and Season Prospects Trevor discussed Liverpool's manager and the team's prospects for the season. He believed Liverpool would likely qualify for European competition, though it would be competitive among the top teams. Trevor also reflected on the trend of frequent manager changes in the Premier League, noting that teams like Manchester United, Tottenham, and Chelsea have been more successful by maintaining stability in management. Klopp's Mid-Season Break Discussion Trevor and Emmy discussed Jurgen Klopp's mid-season break in Ibiza where he did DJ work, with Trevor expressing admiration for Klopp's willingness to break out of his usual sphere of influence. Trevor questioned whether this activity might impact Klopp's image with players and the club hierarchy, particularly given Liverpool's poor performance at the time. The conversation concluded with Trevor comparing Klopp's situation to Oliver Glasner's decision to leave Crystal Palace, suggesting that keeping decisions in-house might have been better for Glasner. Palace Manager Glasner's Departure Discussion Trevor discussed Palace manager Glasner's likely departure, noting that despite doing well, Glasner has indicated he wants to leave after 2-3 years and plans to watch his daughter play hockey in Austria or Germany. The conversation then shifted to a Manchester United supporter who has refused to cut his hair until the team wins 5 consecutive games, with Trevor suggesting this goal is unlikely to be achieved given recent results. Premier League and World Cup Trevor and Emmy discussed the challenges teams face in the final stretch of the Premier League season, with Trevor suggesting Manchester City as the most likely team to win 5-6 consecutive games. They briefly discussed Manchester United's chances, with Trevor expressing doubt about their ability to make a strong run due to fatigue from international breaks. The conversation then shifted to England's World Cup prospects, with Emmy expressing support for England's team and Trevor noting that expectations for England in tournaments have become more modest over time. England World Cup Squad Selection Trevor and Emmy discussed England's World Cup preparations, focusing on manager Tucall's approach to team selection. Trevor expressed concern that Tucall hasn't been playing his likely starting team in recent friendlies, which could impact their performance in the tournament. They confirmed that Elliot Anderson is expected to be included in the squad, though his selection hasn't been formally announced yet. Trevor also mentioned that players like Harry Kane, Mark Gale, and likely goalkeepers Pickford and Dean Henderson are likely to be selected for the squad. Tottenham Manager Discussion Emmy and Trevor discussed Roberto de Zerbi's situation at Tottenham, with Trevor confirming that de Zerbi would stay with the club if they were to relegated based on de Zerbi's public commitment at his appointment. They debated whether de Zerbi has the management skills to turn around the club's fortunes within the remaining 6 games of the season, acknowledging his previous success at Brighton but questioning if the current team has enough momentum to respond to his leadership. The conversation concluded with Trevor sharing his mixed feelings about West Ham's upcoming game against Crystal Palace, expressing hope that Palace can maintain their position in the European spots while acknowledging that a West Ham draw or win wouldn't significantly impact his mood.
