Remember what I said about Theo Hernández being a contender for the best left-back in the world? Yeah, forget about that too. Alphonso Davies put on two star-studded performances this week. He and Mazraoui form a formidable wing-back partnership as both have the engine to get forward but also the gas tank to track back. Mazraoui was on my shortlist but it has to be Davies who gets in. The Canadian would help open the scoring after a fantastic run down the left and a cut-back from the byline to 17-year-old Mathys Tel who would score with some help from…

Jurgen Klopp admitted Liverpool needed to sign a central midfielder at the end of the window but was adamant they would only sign the right player. Arthur was brought in as a temporary solution, with Liverpool expected to sign a long-term successor next summer. Yet it appears the…

Chelsea was held to a 1-1 draw by RB Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday, leaving Graham Potter with much to work on following his first game in charge of the Blues. Summer commitment Despite assisting Raheem Sterling’s goal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to impress for the second game in a row, and his worrisome performance may have just given Cristiano Ronaldo another lifeline in his bid to leave Manchester United. Thomas Tuchel’s exit had already reignited some hope in the 37-year-old’s chances of joining the Blues in January, but those hopes may have increased even further after former Brighton manager Potter…
