Genuinely might be the best football conversation I have heard
i agree, im amazed and only 25 mins in
It was very refreshing especially after being inundated with fan football banter after every match instead of them talking about the actual game
Not better than the one with my barber this morning, he said rangers and celtic should join the Dutch league
@@Do27gg nah, it didn't land
@@AyaGumede only thing that should land is you in turkey to sort that hairline out
Nedum is such a phenomenal orator and to be fair James, you get the absolute best out of him. Superb content!
He really should be used by one of the TV channels
Nedum is an amazing person
@@Denchanter He is on ESPN regularly !
Great video, just need to find a way to get it to that woman at lotus road! 😆
This is such a welcome departure from the pop culture punditry I can't seem to find refuge from without avoiding football at all.
But Micah Richards is so funny, Right?! I'm sure he is - he laughs a lot. He must be. Can't think of anything funny he's said though. Or anything he's said about football that means anything. Guess you are right!
@@joso7228 German punditry is even worse. There's only sociopaths who regurgitate and ruminate idioms from the 90s. British football punditry is bad, but German... holy hell.
Great golfer too.
@@needfoolthings German football is living of an aura of intelligence that was earned by those decades ago. It pays to pander to that ethic than admit that your football is in decline.
@@needfoolthings Mate that's the entirety of British football discourse below James or Tifo. A team could score 100 goals a season, not win the league and the modal advice would be "get a tall tap in striker even if you score less, generic platitudes about passion and don't bottle"
"It's a bigger risk to not take a risk" what a quote that is, not even just for football but for life in general, don't live your life with regrets because you were too afraid to take a chance even if it doesn't always work out.
Bro, that's very bad advice. If I had followed that advice, I'd be homeless right now. 😆 Calculate the risk and ask yourself if it's worth it.
For example, if you want to sleep with a really beautiful woman, you should ask yourself whether sleeping with a really beautiful woman is worth ruining your marriage .
@benedictjajo that’s a subjective question answered with personal perspective. Me, as a single man, would be delighted to sleep with a beautiful woman. But indeed, not all men are single, and not all men are interested in women. Subjectivity!
@@benedictjajono, this is just bad understanding of good advice lmao. Obviously you don't take EVERY risk that comes into your life. Not sure how you read that and don't infer that.
24:50 what Nedum said here regarding Villa and Arsenal is very true and Mikel knew that and stood off Spurs for this reason because he knew they would kill them if they did this all game. Damn what a conversation
Certainly one of the few unbiased, insightful football content creators in the scene. Keep it up.
I was randomly recommended another episode of this the other day. Such an insightful podcast. I could listen to Nedum Onoaha talk about football all day.
i can feel my brain getting more folds listening to this, such wonderful insight as always Jimbo!
I remember my coach saying: "Everyone can be Messi for one day, its all the other days that count"
Just come back to football after losing interest in the early 00's. This is what I'm after, thoughtful and insightful conversations with some depth. Makes mainstream punditry look like a joke. Keep it up chaps.
Agreed 👍
Man, I could listen to Nedum read the shipping forecast.
This is one of my favourite panels for a football podcast I’ve ever watched, please make this regular Jim👍🏻
I loved listening to this! I think Hazard is a good example but another example where that tactics has happened is Jack Grealish. There are interviews of him talking about the system he must follow under Pep compared to the free role he took under Dean Smith at Villa, especially in the Championship. Grealish is still a great player but his game has completely changed.
Really like this guys, a lot of valid points. Feel like pundits get drawn into just saying things and scapegoating players rather than proper analysis.
Very refreshing to hear. Love it🫡
Nedum is one of the best pundits out there. He actually tried analysis instead of wishful thinking and tribalism.
Absolutely, Actually articulate and intelligent. The rarest attributes in football pundits.
One of the players who really thinks for themselves and it's clear as day is Cole Palmer grew up in the Man City academy for sure. Had the best coaching could have easily turned into a player who just listened to what the coaches say, but instead when you see him at Chelsea's all over the pitch look at his heat map. He's wherever the ball is is where he is cuz he knows if he has the ball he can create for this team. And I think that's exactly what we're talking about here. He's the perfect example
One of the best, most interesting and illuminating podcasts about football i ever heard.Thank you James, Nedum, Harry and Dan ❤
Being aware of surroundings and knowing what your strengths and weaknesses are and knowing what they are of your teammates or opponents
I've watched Sky for years. Never had things explained like this.
Sky are more interested in Roy Keane getting into a HEATED debate with someone, and then a million white van drivers applaud Keane for "saying it how it is", even though he is one of the pundits who simply doesn't understand this stuff.
I think what a lot of Footballers and Pundits, don't see, or understand. Is that the vast majority of Football "Fans" don't go to watch football. They go to experience it. They go to scream, to chant and to shout. They go to have societal and communal interaction. To be part of a Tribe. To feel a part of something. They go to escape the economic system they are trapped in. They go to vent anger, and frustration. To give manifest to anxiety in their lives. The most visceral reactions are for goals (scoring, we are better than you), hurling abuse and (less and less these days) acts of violence, of physical dominance over your opponents over the other Tribe, i.e. the crunching tackle. We all know this deep down. It's the adrenaline rush, the dopamine dump that we go for, we go for the drug, not the football.
That being said, this is a brilliant podcast for the aficionado, the connoisseurs of football 👍
Erm no I go to watch football and support my team. I love tactical analysis. I don’t go for any of those reasons.
@@SW-kr9fl OMG then you must be erm...in the minority. But thanks for reading and understanding the written word, SW-kr9fkgvht12routerpasswordkey865 good luck in life.

This is my new standard of tactical football discourse. I never want to hear Robbie Savage or Jamie Redknapp or Efan Ekoku talking about "who wants it more" ever again.
This is a lovely watch
1 hour 21 minutes and 48 seconds felt like a breeze listening to this. Captivating stuff.
This is such an amazing chat. I'd love to see a follow-up on this along the lines of individualism vs collectivism in athletics & sport. I think a lot of the interesting points Harry made fall along the lines of prioritising individualism, but I align more with Nedum's way of explaining how teaching people how to be part of a collective in a professional team being a key factor to excelling as a footballer.
Incredible conversation!! You know a pod is good when you’ve gotta pause to take some notes 🔥
Sack the entire crew of current pundits and get these gentlemen and others who actually understand modern football.
Something I've noticed is, when a current or former footballer complains about pundits being overly demanding and detached from reality, is that the footballer in question has quite a sparse honours list on Wikipedia.
Weird coincidence maybe.
15:40 "Defending is a skill, but the biggest thing it takes is effort."
Xabi Alonso (in his Liverpool days) "I don't consider tackling to be a skill". Got the most tackles in the premier league one season.
Wow what a episode. I can listen to nedum all day
I'm a boro fan so I have no connection to Qpr/Onuoha; and I'm not sure I have ever heard him speak before. I shouldn't be surprised because its a lazy stereotype that all footballers are thick but he is clearly at the very top end of the inelligent footballers. Excellent content, he should be on national radio.
He works for ESPN fc for the U.S. market but I agree, he should be on tv/radio in England, miles beyond so many useless pundits.
@@corvus2512 He's on BBC Radio 5 Live on a weekly basis
15:54 the pent up frustration is real
Nedum continues to be the best pundit for non-hype, fact-based insights. Always worth listening to.
Such a great convo man I love nedum so much
Incredible group, incredible conversations. Love this!
Nedum is the best football commentator (in my opinion).
Great episode, so many aha moments. Nedum is a class guest
So true, i grew up watching italian football in the 90's. So many mavericks, passing with the outside of the foot or flick. Player's now are trained all the same. Flair is rare these days.The time for defenders.
Been looking for this quality of insight from an experienced panel. Thank you for making this content.
Imagine how much better the coverage would be if Nedum replaced Micah
but alas its all about entertainment, clicks, engagement, and reaching new (aka younger uneducated) audiences
if you're talking about cbs, keep micah, replace carra instead. that would be a real upgrade to the show.
apples and oranges i think, micah isn’t bad either he’s just less formal but he’s very entertaining and i think good overall
That would be a miniscule change because TV doesn't understand their pundits' job to be within the confines of the entertainment which is the match. Their intent, and yes, I use the term deliberately, is to ADD to the entertainment because they think they add to their audience that way. That's what makes all pundits EXECUTE their bosses' INTENT the way they can, changing their nature in places. Fancy dresses and hair for the gurls, childish behavior for the token king's fool, and all that.
Do you still think you would want to watch Nedum in that environment, changing what he does best according to the yaysayers around him?
Micah was a footballer and his style is different, maybe a bit casual but he is one of the best out there and doesn't speak too much like other player pundits
This was one of the best pure football conversations I ever heard…I actually learned a lot about the ins and outs of what goes on in the game
This was a very phenomenal conversation about modern football. Honestly one of the best I’ve ever heard. Not just criticisms and critiques but solutions - and lots of them 👏🏾
Flashed this on and couldn’t stop watching. Brilliant. Learned a ton. More of this please.
This content is truly mind blowing, cannot find anything like this anywhere.
This is one of the most insightful football conversations I've seen/heard for sure
Deserves more flowers. One of FEW who actually can understand what they want to explain and how to articulate a view or point.
I like the spanish commentator for La Liga matches, he’s very good
This guy is genuinely excellent. He should have a greater punditry profile than he has.
Get Nedum to replace Neville and Carragher
While I understand fast and slowing down the pace, it virtually comes down to one or two touches and not holding the ball too long.
Otherwise at the highest level, those little channels close to fast.
What an absolutely first-rate show! Loads of content and reflection on that content.
Unbelievable work how far this channel has come is brilliant to see. Was great to hear a great positive insight from professionals rather than the constant complaining that we regularly hear on mainstream media/youtubers.
that 5 pass maximum bit is quite an eye opener, holy cow.
Hugely more informative and interesting than other podcasts filled with more well known, “more entertaining” ex-players
It's almost like someone has been listening to AND actually understanding Ange, best conversation of the year .... 😮
Great conversation. Makes me want to get on the pitch asap. Football.. What an incredible and beautiful sport. Great chat lads.
I work in IT and some of the stuff you were talking to applies to us as well. It’s deep knowledge of the subject vs associative knowledge. Some people just learn doing X fixes Y and when faced with an unfamiliar problem they just start spamming all the Xs they’ve picked up haha. If you actually understand the subject and WHY X fixes Y you can use that knowledge to come up with Z, which might fix a new problem.
This was absolutely brilliant, fascinating. I could have watched this conversation go on for much longer.
felt the same way for a long time. it’s become particularly glaring under klopp. we’ve never had a plan b. we stick to the same system and patterns and squander so many chances and drop so many points as a result!
I like Nedum as he´s honest and not just self-important hot air
Such a breath of fresh air. I think the Overlap does this well, too (at times).
Ironically, people like Simon Jordan, who will spend time telling you they tell it like it is or offer a unique perspective, often end up straying into platitudes ("they wanted it more", etc).
Agreed
The Overlap is well produced
Simon is the Brian Cowell of the lot.
very interesting coverage of the modern football dynamics between structure and individual freedom - top quality
The lack of understanding from pundits is why we need match broadcasts with game sounds and no commentators.
This type of conversation is one of the wonders of the internet💥
I remembered Nedum was one of the few that rubbishes the notion that Ole was a mediocre coach and he stuck to his guns that the real problem lies with the club and transfers, not the manager.
I still maintain that to this day.
We can be given all the statistics and tactical mumbo jumbo in the world but it’s rare such insight ever shines through in football-related media. Grateful for this one
Excellent analysis and insights shared!
For me this is your best video. Bring these boys back for another
Informative discussion, really enjoyed this one.
Algo for the win, I need to watch the rest of this later, easily best football convo I’ve heard… clearly I’ve been missing out!
This is the most informative conversation about football I’ve heard in a long time! Where is this stuff on the tv ffs!
What a brilliant, insightful conversation.
Kudos to you James for getting Nedum on here. He's by far the most insightful eloquent and knowledgeable panelist across all formats! His insight and tactical breakdown is phenomenal. Love this. Keep up amazing work fella
This was amazing jimbo ❤
Thank you triple-fold for this. Pundits, media and fans are constantly making observations from bygone 442 eras. Football has changed so much. One of the clearest which still hasn’t been understood is the “9” is no longer the 9 from 90’s and 00’s. No matter how much people are watching the game it seems their beliefs and understanding aren’t evolving.
The game hasn't changed that drastically though. Of course there's a wider adoption of systems and I'd say teams have become more compact. But overall, the principles will never change
@@arsenalogist4285 it has though. The principles always will be the same obviously but if you are going to provide an in depth analysis then you need to understand the intricacies and the evolution that happens to the game overtime which none of the pundits or the media are in touch with. Their comments consistently prove just how out of touch they are..
@monarkjain613 I hear you, and certainly, compared to pundits abroad, we're a bit vague on detail in this country. However, that doesn't prove the games drastically changed.
What a video, wow. I don't normally watch the ripple effect, but this video fully captured me
I don’t ever comment but I’ve honestly been waiting for this podcast for years. As result of the standard discourse in punditry I don’t watch any mainstream commentary, build up shows and even interviews. In American sports, though they aren’t perfect, there seems to be a more elevated understanding of each sport by those commentating and this is the closest thing I’ve experienced to that. Brilliant! Please keep it up!!!
Brilliant show that. First I've seen on the channel. Well worth the time.
This is a great use of your time James. Brilliant insight! 🎉
Really great content, an intelligent football conversation, it’s rarer than I want but some great insight here
This was an amazing watch
amazing episode, learned a lot
It’s great to listen to Nadum. He helps me understand the game a lot more.
This is one of the best talks I have ever heard on football . So many times stuff CLICKED that have never clicked before .
How do we get the likes of Gabby Agbonlahor all over the radio instead of Nedum? Such a pleasure to listen to an articulate ex pro.
Extremely insightful discussion! Just wanted to make two requests. It would be amazing to have a more philosophical discussion on how specifically positional play has, in my opinion, killed off the old school no.10s and dribblers and how that is detrimental to the game (viewers and players). This relates to developing players like Taraabt who don't really fit into the positional play paradigm we see everywhere now. This is in the context of the current debate between two paradigms of positionism and relationism which has sprung up recently. Additionally, it would be absolutely brilliant to have David Brooks elaborate on his experiences in working with the kids in Palmeiras academy.
You lucky fellow James. Talking to the gorgeous Nedum.
Nedum is quickly becoming the best football speaker/pundit in the business.
brilliant video
More football discussions like this please!
The best football conversation I think I’ve ever heard
So pleased I've found this channel. Unbelievable content.
Superb insight from Nedum!!
Absolutely fantastic, James.
Rice and Bellingham in midfield. Foden just in front. Gordon or Palmer on the left wing. Saka on the right and Kane up front. It’s really not that difficult 🤯
Lovely content just subscribed🎉😊
Best football conversation on a podcast og tv show ever. I have been screaming this at the tv for 15 years. I feel seen today. Nedum should say some of this stuff when he is on. The football narrative is designed not for understanding. It’s for feeling and reacting. It’s for money. It doesn’t have to be like that.
Thank you
Absolutely fantastic discussion, aside from the part perpetuating the Ben White misunderstanding. He never said he doesn't like football. He said he doesn't watch football in his time off but loves playing it
The best ever
Please we need the whole game analysed for us viewers to understand
i came across this totally by accident and it was great , thanks :)
A lot of common sense football knowledge here. The time flew by.
