This is art from Moises Caicedo. Two of Chelsea's best chances resulted from his line-breaking pass. Pair that with his tackling ability. Love him, my favorite 6.

Everyone clowning on Unai Emery on the TL after Aston Villa's 4th loss of the season is a tad crazy, I can't lie. They are joint top in goals with Man City (40) and 4th in goals against (25). No Kamara No Cash No Buendia No Mings No Pau Torres No Tielemans

They left plenty of spaces, we just didn't have the courage or vision to play the ball into the space. City chose to be more pragmatic than Arsenal. Can't score without taking risks, would have needed a massive mistake.

Why are people surprised Aston Villa are performing poorly without Pau Torres and Ezri Konsa? Their entire team relies on the coordination of their back-line with the offside trap, and distribution to get it back to front in one pass.

Pushing player's bodies beyond the limit is not entertaining. Football has become an endurance race. Even the best athletes won't survive. A byproduct of this is the creatives who were never the top athletes will be further pushed out of the sport.

John Stones on Stefan Ortega: “Incredible keeper. Not easy at all to come in at this stage and how he played, the saves he pulled off, intelligent saves." Most intelligent save for me. Hand underneath the ball to palm it high. If he directs it low/wide, it's a tap-in rebound.

It's not squad depth, it's trusting your bench. If Pep gave limited minutes to Nunes, Bobb, Doku, Lewis, and Gomez we wouldn't have depth. They'd be as off as Nketiah, Zinchenko, Smith Rowe, Vieira, and Partey. You need everyone.

Pep is obviously a genius, but great squad depth is a significant factor as to why sides like City and Madrid finish the season extremely strongly, especially the former. When you’ve got the luxury of 50m+ players essentially everywhere, the quality eventually prevails.

If English clubs want to compete in Europe they had to scrap replays ✅ and they should scrap the Carabao Cup. There's too many games in the schedule. Real Madrid played one extra and Bayern Munich two extra games in April, while Man City and Arsenal both played three. No rest.

We looked infinitely more threatening with Phil Foden in the left half-space rotating with Doku. Bernardo Silva on the edges covering for Walker. It makes so much more sense compared to the first half setup, with Foden on the edges wide right and Bernardo on the left.

Trevoah Chalobah could provide Liverpool with depth at RCB. - Premier League proven (important) - English, homegrown - 24 years old, room to improve - Efficient carrier of the ball - Tall, 190cm - Accurate enough passer - Could act as emergency depth in holding midfield

Always been a fan of Trevoh Chalobah. Can cover a lot of space, good timing, great header, tall, great carrier of the ball. Mobile center-backs are a dime a dozen. With some training I think he could play as a holding midfielder. He also a decent shot from outside the box.
