Varane's out of contract anyway, since the club has elected not to take up its option for another year. At least that's a positive sign. No "protecting the value" of a player no club would pay a transfer fee for anyway.

Shaw and Rashford weren't even on the pitch today. Shaw hasn't been near it in months in fact. I guess when there are no logical arguments left to defend the fraudulent slaphead, the only thing left is slip off into the realm of fantasy, where no other manager on the entire planet could have...

Outworked by Burnley at home whilst also having less of the ball than them. Another brilliant tactic from the bald maestro.

I don't know. He's usually such a charisma vacuum wet lettuce that it's almost refreshing to see him show some personality. Even if it is in service of defending the indefensible.

I wouldn't. He'd be my favourite Liverpool or City player, because he's absolute shite and would be making them worse. The 'being a gigantic bellend' stuff would grate less if he was a good player. Sadly, he's more El Hadji Diouf than Sergio Ramos.

Thank goodness we have a man of your great intellect and footballing knowledge around to steer us away from the idea of appointing Al Pacino, Joe Kinnear or God. Those posters should and no doubt will be embarrassed.

People are still peddling this fiction that last season was all sunshine and roses. Things collapsed after the Sainsbury's Own Brand Energy Drink Cup final. The last third of last season was miserable viewing. Do people not remember Wout Weghorst? Have you all purged him from your memories? It's...

Would any mid-table club swap their manager for Ten Hag? Bournemouth certainly wouldn't.

Hard not to be pleased with a point after that first half. Hopefully all those missed chances will come back to haunt Liverpool in the title race.

He dismissed this as being important after the game last night, incidentally. It's not just that he doesn't know how to fix it - he apparently genuinely doesn't believe that teams peppering the goal with shots is a problem in the first place. I'd like to think he's not actually that stupid and...

If only. "Stars" like Fernandes and Rashford demanding to leave in the summer is a dream too good to be true.

Congratulations to Chelsea on winning the tallest dwarf contest. Two poor teams that can't defend, but it made for an entertaining game at least.

Ole was knocked out of the highly prestigious fizzy pop cup by City two of the three times his sides competed in it.

I know there are some bad stats, but it just felt like another game under Ten Hag to me. Dull, clueless, disjointed football and half the players on the pitch looking completely unmotivated and disinterested. It's become the norm under this manager, so frankly it didn't really stand out to me...

His work rate and energy are incredible. Still busting a gut over two hours in. Quickly becoming my favourite player in the current squad.
