If anyone wants a bit of wholesomeness on this cold and barren Monday morning, here’s Real Betis fans raining down thousands of stuffed toys for disadvantaged children in their annual Christmas tradition

This current version of Salah is the best player I've ever seen in the League. He has 15 goals and 11 assists in 16 games, the quickest Liverpool player to 10+ goals and assists before him was Suárez 13/14 in 23 appearances. Both have the same sense of inevitability about them as well.

there's more going on but a big part of the City story is you can't keep ignoring age curves

A new LB should be a priority come January. Robertson has been finished at the top level for some time now, and has now become a liability. A Liverpool legend, but I think Slot will be looking to replace very soon. Good enough to be a backup, but has been Moreno level so far this season.

sorry but that simultaneous 18-game CL final night on Jan 29 may well be the greatest thing humanity has created

Well in, Skipper 👏

🚨 Liverpool make opening contract offer to Mohamed Salah. Does not mean agreement done or close (any outcome expected to take time) but Salah, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold have all now received proposals + talks with #LFC ongoing www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

Arsenal will feel very unlucky not to have won that late on, but should they be concerned about an over reliance on set pieces? They don't seem to have much threat outside of them in recent weeks.

Just watched Arsenal at Fulham and there’s absolutely no doubt they are one of the best teams in the world at pressing, squeezing teams, and dominating the ball. But I also think it’s totally fair to ask if they are overly reliant on set-pieces after watching a performance like today’s.

Great to see West Ham fans have turned to Lopeteguis Wikipedia page after that result last night. This is what the festive footballing period should be all about.
