No, it's not at all. There are many areas in which one is noticeably better than the other.

It doesn't take a crazy amount of imagination to just think of a world in which England is managed by a man with some semblance of courage.

Saka is a traditional right winger who cuts inside - Southgate knows that player and knows how to use them. He's not really sure what to do with a player like Foden, but it seems harsh to let that count against Foden.

You still see the occasional Arsenal fan who still believes Partey benched him at Atletico

if Southgate can't get acceptable performances out of Rice and Stones, it definitely is the coaching that's the problem.

Why? He's scored three times against Liverpool before.

Yeah, only 5 goals against United, 2 against Chelsea, 2 against Arsenal, 2 against Liverpool, 2 against Bayern, 1 against Spurs, 1 against Dortmund and 1 against Newcastle so far for City. Pathetic effort from him. McTominay wins you plenty of points because Ten Hag is so deeply incompetent...

So so much of this is simply not true. You are talking about the stereotype of Erling Haaland that you'd already decided he was before he'd even kicked a ball in the Premier League, and now you won't ever change your mind no matter what he does.

You have to be a dick on some level to regularly do that thing where you barge into a player mid-jump so they might land on their neck.

Look at Tuchel's performances in other competitions, though. The guy is too negative, and much too focused on wing-backs and goals from set pieces, for a club as prestigious as Bayern. That club is meant to be dominant, he's much more of an underdog manager - I bet he'd be great at Inter.

In fairness, there aren't many top managers that wouldn't win the league with Bayern. Next season he probably won't have to work under one.

Sponsorships are his field of expertise, of course he had knowledge of City's sponsorship deals. People will tie themselves in incredible knots to avoid considering the possibility that the panel won't find anything because there's nothing to find. United clearly don't think there is.

You really think the reason City got exonerated by CAS is because, years into the process, the CAS suddenly realised that the alleged breaches were too long ago? And that nobody at UEFA or at City had noticed until then?

Why should they uncover anything the CAS couldn't?

Rodri's been immense this season. One or two poor games but what player doesn't have those?
