Musa and Ryan chat about some of the midweek results (3:58) before diving into the mailbag once more. They build a Premier League XI, using only one player from any club (9:40), and discuss Christian Pulisic’s playing time (18:55), removing one thing from the game (21:53), passes and runs (26:03), which rules in football they would change, whether aliens play the beautiful game (32:20), teams to never give up on (38:42), and whom they would like to see play in different positions (43:40).
