He's quality but I don't think he really suits Barcelona. His game is about chance conversion and not much else, he's not someone that's going to get involved that much in build-up or link-up play.

He needs a run of games. So far his performances have been pretty uneven with the United first team. Some times he will look great on the ball but look like he can't score to save his life, others he will make mistake after mistake and then pop up with a goal out of nowhere. Among people who...

He's scored 6 goals in his last 6 games for England, including a brace against Spain. Obviously he doesn't look on the same level as with City, but then he doesn't have players like De Bruyne with England.

We're talking about grown men that sign agreements that make them millions. Expecting them to honour them without much fuss is not unreasonable. The club doesn't owe Eriksen a move.

His final ball is a throw of the dice though. You have no idea what you're going to get.

Looked like a dive at the end though to me, probably justice that Morata missed.

I don't think that's really true though. The only major issue with his game was his finishing. When Liverpool changed to a diamond formation, Sterling forced Coutinho out of the #10 position even though it wasn't his preferred role. He always had solid decision-making, the problem was that no...

Eriksen is not a good dribbler by any stretch of the imagination.

The calculus is a bit different when you already have Messi, Griezmann, Suarez, Dembélé etc. though. I don't think scoring goals is going to be Barcelona's problem.

I think it's the best offside-reading technology I've ever seen. I think in a lot of leagues that would have been missed.

Never mind. 1-0 City

West Ham are dominating the ball against City in this first ten minutes. Rodri and Walker have been a bit sloppy.

On the ball he is very good, but he has a lot of scope for improvement with his positioning.

Actually, statistically speaking, if you return from that injury you're much more likely to reach or exceed the level you were already at than not, especially if you're as young as Sané.

I don't see the transfer happening. There's only half an hour left for City to replace him, and if the ACL injury rumours are true then I don't see Bayern spending big money on him right now.

City don't want to sell him at all though.

I find it difficult to believe that four different teams will finish in front of Liverpool in the league this season, in fact I'd be very surprised if any other than City can manage it.

I'm not sure that Eriksen wants to leave for anywhere other than Real Madrid, the issue is that Levy doesn't want to let him go for nothing later, so would prefer to sell him now.

He definitely did not come back "stronger than before".

City's midfield of De Bruyne, Rodri and Bernardo Silva is the one I was thinking of. You could put De Jong ahead of Rodri probably, but I think De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva are both better than Eriksen and Arthur.
