Graeme Souness has delivered another scathing assessment of Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice‚ suggesting he might be better suited to playing in defence because he operates 'too deep'. Rice has established himself as a key figure for both Arsenal and England since his £105million move the Emirates in 2023‚ but Souness remains unconvinced the 27-year-old has the qualities required of an elite central midfielder. The Gunners star‚ who played a pivotal role in steering Arsenal to their first Premier League title in 22 years last campaign and helped guide his country to the World Cup semi-finals in the summer‚ was singled out for criticism and labelled 'limited' by Souness after England's heartbreaking defeat against Argentina.

MATT BARLOW AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: Amid so much change‚ some things remain the same. And there is still nothing quite like a trip to Brentford in the Premier League to bring the lofty expectations of the self-appointed elite crashing back to earth. Tottenham‚ having escaped the ignominy of relegation‚ settled upon a head coach to their liking and spent a couple of hundred million in the transfer market‚ took a hiding at the hands of the Bees and were flattered by the scoreline. Roberto De Zerbi saw his team outplayed in every department. Unable to cope with the intensity and physicality in midfield. Unable to handle Brentford's aerial presence up at the back. Unable to get a hold of the ball and offer any threat in attack

Manchester United's moribund showing at Sunderland told us much of what we already know‚ namely that Michael Carrick's side are far from an elite outfit and that the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea should be feel embarrassed that they trail in their wake. It also underlines how well Bruno Fernandes has done to shine this season to such a degree that he has just been announced as the Football Writers' Association player of the year. It is a thoroughly deserved nomination and one that has provoked much outrage on that part of the internet occupied largely by those who don't know very much about football. My social media feeds were lively on Friday night after I endorsed Fernandes' triumph and revealed that I had voted for him last season too. This was proof - so the accusations continue to go - that I was anti-Liverpool‚ anti-Arsenal‚ anti-Manchester City and indeed on the pay roll of Manchester United.

No competition does comebacks quite like the Champions League . The feeling that a tie is never truly over is part of what makes elite European football so enthralling. Arne Slot will be reminding his Liverpool team of this prior to Paris Saint-Germain's visit to Anfield on Tuesday night. Yes‚ his side are 2-0 down after PSG's dominant display at the Parc des Princes last week‚ but they're not quite out yet.
