The man's a lunatic. I read that he hired some pickpockets to steal from his players during a club meal, then used it as a lesson that they should always be on the alert.

It's a bit of an extreme lesson. You tend to be on high alert in certain situations, such as when you are on public transport, or when you are carrying out a dangerous task, or if failure at your job would have serious consequences. Doesn't really apply to a relaxing meal in controlled surroundings.

Plus, where do you go if you want to hire some criminals? Do they have their own agency?

We nicked the league off them last season. You'd think they would learn.

I’d have struggled not to laugh if I’d have been in that dressing room then.

I'm sure shouting in a high pitched voice will motivate players. It won't make them piss themselves at all

Proper thinks he’s Pep there.

Just seen the Chelsea goal, arsenal made our midfield look good lol

2 points dropped, we were the better team but midfield isn't clicking.

On that note the options to partner Odegaard in the middle are Rice, Partey and Merino. I actally think of those 3 Rice has been the weakest link. Partey has been exceptional all season and when Merino came on today he added both steel and composure in the middle.

I reckon the £100m man may find himself sitting on the bench in a month or 2.

Another England star struggling to perform, like Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, looks like their season hasn't started yet.

McTominay does the impossible and scores against Inter at the San Siro. :-)
