Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet! This time, Sean Dyche joins Jamie Carragher and our fans to discuss the changing role of a football manager and the biggest issues facing the modern game.

Sean reflects on his Nottingham Forest exit and explains why expectations can change so quickly at a club. He also reveals how social media and agents can influence players, and why managers still need a say in the players they sign.

Then it’s Arsenal’s set pieces. Sean explains the psychology behind their corners, why they have become such a weapon and how attitudes towards set-piece football have changed.

Finally, Sean gives his thoughts on VAR, specialist coaches and whether fans are getting bored of slower football. Plus, he names the best player he ever faced and answers some quickfire questions.

Welcome back to the Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet!

The Premier League season is well and truly underway, and after an opening weekend full of shocks, drama and plenty of talking points, it’s great to be back.

We start with Arsenal, who have picked up exactly where they left off. The reigning champions are riding high, but could this be the beginning of a period of dominance?

At the other end of the spectrum, Manchester United and Spurs endured nightmare starts, falling to newly promoted Hull and Brentford respectively. Is it a sign of things to come, or simply an opening-weekend blip?

We also hear from Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea as they begin new eras under new management, before finishing with Brentford, where there’s plenty of optimism for the season ahead under Keith Andrews.
