## Resource

Jacob brings back Dutch and Graft — Jonny and Danny — for their third Dugout appearance of the season. They’re recording while City vs Burnley is on in the background, Arsenal are level on points with City, and the run-in has never felt more alive. Here’s what’s inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Danny has been defending Gyökeres all season in the group chats, but he’s got a nuanced take on when Kai should start and when Gyökeres should. Jonny goes after Arteta’s stubbornness — and has a stat about possession losses from that front three that’s genuinely damning ⚽ Kai Havertz — The Firmino Debate — Danny makes the case that Kai is a false nine, not a striker, and that’s actually why he’s so important. Jonny has been saying it for months. How many weeks did it take Arteta to figure it out? 🏥 Newcastle Preview — walking wounded, bad form, unhappy with Eddie Howe. Danny and Johnny are both in the mood. Is this the game to start banking some goal difference? 🤔 Hincapié — £45 Million of Questions — Jonny goes in. Is he Kiwior with a bad temper? And if your left back isn’t contributing in attack, where are the goals coming from? 💸 Summer Window Madness — Kvaratskhelia as number one target, Leão dismissed, Morgan Rogers debated, and a strong reaction to the idea of Anthony Gordon. Very strong. 🎵 Dutch and Graft — Big Summer Coming — tour and album on the way. Follow the Instagram, hit 10k for tour dates, 20k for singles. Jacob nearly came backstage once. He’ll make amends this tour. The Manor: https://www.instagram.com/_themanor/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
