I'm not entirely convinced it's all Daniel Levy's fault that Spurs insist on making the exact same mistakes in every single game.

Idea for content: Watch Spurs at the pub, put a camera on yourself, have a shot every time they give away the ball in their own half for no discernible reason.

If I had to watch Everton every week I'd probably be Dyche out as well, but still worth bearing in mind that he kept a pretty awful squad in the league at a pivotal point in their history.

More horrendously lost balls in the Spurs half than at a eunuch convention.

With United, assumption has always been that because they have so much money they will eventually get good again. But what if they just... don't?

(it is also less than 10% of what United paid for Antony)
Fun fact: According to their most recent accounts, Bodø/Glimt's entire annual wage bill is less than what it cost Manchester United to fire Erik ten Hag.

City looked like a team that needs a break. Good thing is the English fixture list is famously light and breezy in December so that's going to work out fine.

Having largely beat the main storyline of football, Guardiola now trying hard to unlock all the achievements. "Be successful without any kind of midfield" is proving a stubborn one ("Be successful without a striker", by comparison, was a piece of piss).

Cunha - too good for Wolves, but probably too chaotic for an actually good team so it's kinda fine?

Football is all about forcing your opponent into situations they're uncomfortable with. Brentford here have cunningly had a man sent off so that Everton have to actually have the ball a bit.
Everton have the lowest average possession % in the Premier League, and it's showing against 10-man Brentford. They're seeing a lot of the ball due to the man advantage, but don't seem to know what to do with it.
