Tamworth’s heroes deserve better, Pep Guardiola tries to fire up Jack Grealish and Liverpool’s teenagers impress
Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 tactics have little place in English football, it was said. Recent Manchester United performances of the resurrected Harry Maguire in tandem with Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt suggest it can work if with sufficient energy in midfield to protect the trio. Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo offer that, and the wing play of Alejandro Garnacho in setting up Bruno Fernandes’s goal, plus Amad Diallo’s raiding runs at the Emirates Stadium, suggest the framework of a team. Penalty hero Altay Bayindir revealed he is a capable goalkeeper, a possible cult hero. There are complications. The club’s finances, chickens of the Glazer ownership now coming home to roost, may trigger selling “pure profit” youth products like Garnacho and Mainoo to fund recruitment.

About time, too. John Brewin

Duckett clearly loves being in Australia. It suits him. The clipped cod-antipodean go-well-mate style. Beard, glasses, salt-stained nylon cap, the iconography of the alpha franchise dude. At that moment his scores for the Melbourne Stars this season read: 0, 68, 67, 0, 67, 20, which is also deeply in character. Go hard. Go home. Whichever. It’s a vibe, babes.
