Casemiro has probably been our best player this season.

Southgate is known for his favourites. There's no real surprises in the squad. Only Maddison and maybe Rashford actually played themselves onto the plane. Guehi and maybe Tammy Abraham I thought had a good shout, although once Callum Wilson started picking up attention I think that was the final nail in the latter's hopes. Sancho had no chance.

I know it's a cliche but playing with VDB is literally like playing with 10 men.

Just an indicator of the over-saturation of football. A total nothing incident discussed to the death.

Actually playing really well. Mix of below par finishing and Lloris on from has kept them in it.

Shook up by today's news, no doubt.

City are better than all of them, and with the exception of Madrid maybe, win by 3+ goals over two legs.

Looks like it'll be Potter. I think it's a great choice for them, not convinced how good of a career move for him given the unbalanced squad and the culture of the quick trigger finger. He's definitely the best British coach at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if all of the top 6 had their eyes on him (except possibly Utd only due to how recently we've pressed the button on a cultural reset).

The Roman legacy lives on. Very bizarre. I don't necessarily think Tuchel would turn it around but to spend north of £200m in the summer and then sack him a week after the window closes is the kind of decision making that's had them falling behind in between spurts of success. Line the next one up.

Rashford clinical.

Rashford putting up good numbers this season.

Malacia has had the run around, he's been poor.

Bruno is taking a kicking.

A lot of them practically work as feeder clubs. Watford and Udinese especially have had a partnership that should raise eyebrows. I guess it's not illegal, but not a great precedent. Either way, this bloke is Greek and Olympiacos play in Europe every season. I don't know if he's filthy rich but once money starts coming out of a club it really bleeds, and dropping divisions does that. Maybe they'll be okay, but possibly Bournemouth aside, there's no standout guarantees for relegation. It'll be a fight this season.

You can never really trust someone who owns two clubs but their owner is clearly chasing some that Premier League money. I don't think they've bought badly and they did have to do it but yeah, that's a big outlay and a lot of contracts to commit to when relegation is always a real threat.
