Allow the toxic Rodri v Vinicius Ballon D’or debate… Yamal a worthy winner of the Kopa Trophy and will probably surpass the former duo sooner rather than later if injuries don’t strike. Ruud Gullit throwing shade at JDP and zombie passing ❤️

This summer we could see Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and possibly even Chelsea looking for a striker. Further afield, Barcelona and possibly Real Madrid too. Forget Isak, I present Pythag Princess no.2… my younger daughter performing her R9 step overs 😅

I’m still not convinced by this argument that Messi is ‘not as good 1 v 1 from a static standpoint’. I remember both Evra and Cole struggling against him. I guess if you’re trying to say when he’s in full flow he’s even more unstoppable I kind of get it but usually he starts from a static position and then injects momentum before going onto beat 3/4!? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Effenberg along with Redondo was THE midfielder of the late 90s. One of the most complete midfielders of his era. Not really spoken about enough by later generations. #BayernMunich

Camavinga is still only 23 but he's not developing at a rate that matches his talent. This is him at 16 making Verratti look 2nd best. Why is it that 7 years later his game still looks so raw? He's stagnating at Madrid

Made my live TV debut on Sky Sports yesterday... Not bad for a South Asian lad from a broken home where nobody cared about football. There were a lot of moments growing up where this life didn’t even feel remotely possible. Grateful to Sky Sports, Roman Kemp and everyone who’s supported the journey so far❤️

Elliot Anderson for £100m - England's De Rossi🤔? For Sky Sports Premier League this week, I blended the numbers with the eye test and concluded that Liverpool would be an ideal fit for him. OUT OF POSSESSION: • Aggressive, high-energy ball winner • But NOT a natural holding midfielder • Can be positionally loose in transition ➡️1st in duels won, ball recoveries in ALL thirds ➡️1st for take-ons attempted AND completed ➡️ Top 6 for chances created IN POSSESSION: • Composed in possession • Connects play at a high level • Confident ball carrier (that nutmeg on Morgan Rogers 👀) This isn’t a passenger midfielder. He runs games. ➡️Elite volume passer - the game flows through him ➡️Constantly demanding the ball, directing teammates ➡️Plays like a leader, not a prospect BEST ROLE? → Aggressive #8 → Dominates the middle third → Drives transitions, wins second balls, arrives late IDEAL CLUB FIT? • Liverpool ✅ perfect balance + personality • Man United ⚠️ too front-footed with Mainoo • Man City 🤔 works WITH Rodri, not AS Rodri #Nottinghamforest #LFC #Mufc

If Arsenal are going to beat Man City… this is the blueprint •Protect the wide areas Jérémy Doku + Antoine Semenyo = biggest threat ➡️ Cristhian Mosquera at RB. Not Ben White. Defend first. No exposure. • Midfield balance matters Declan Rice MUST anchor it Alongside Martin Zubimendi 👉 Control the transitions. Win duels. • Add progression without losing shape Eberechi Eze slightly deeper Carry. Relieve pressure. Move the team up. • Don’t just sit off Eventually, Rayan Cherki finds you 👉 He sees invisible passes ➡️ Press in moments. Disrupt rhythm. • Be direct when you win it Gabriel Martinelli channels Noni Madueke 1v1s • Target the weakness If Nico O’Reilly is out → go after Rayan Aït-Nouri That’s the duel. • Maximise set-pieces This isn’t about outplaying City. It’s about winning the moments that decide the title.

Wirtz feels at home. 🇭🇺 Kerkes + Szoboszlai Hungarian link = energy + balance. 🏴‍☠️ Robbo keeps leadership while guiding Kerkes. 🔥Press with both WB high and mids and let Isak rest 🧱 Extra CB eases Konaté’s burden. #LFC

One thing the TV cameras don’t necessarily pick up on is how vocal Anderson is in build up. He’s the only England midfielder that commands the build up and hence why he’s played in this DLP role
