After 41:00, the lads chat to the BBC's Patrick Jennings (@pr_jennings) about the rise of Kosovo's national football team. Having played their first official competitive game as recently as 2016, they're on the brink of Euro 2020 qualification with games coming up this week against Czech Republic and England. We talk about their status as a UEFA nation, the big name Kosovan descendants who could've switched allegiance, their position for the future amongst the ultra competitive Balkan countries, and why a result against England wouldn't be that much of a surprise. Elsewhere, the lads recap the massive game between Manchester City and Liverpool at the weekend, Gini Wijnaldum's big game balls, Pep Guardiola's lack of faith in his squad and baffling team selections, and arise Sir Jordan Henderson, the great peacemaker.
