They have the third-best defence in the league, but their six draws in eight games shows that they are not scoring enough to win games regularly. Juric must understand why the team creates so much, shoots a lot but in six out of eight games has never scored more than one goal (and once zero). Understanding and remedying this is his big task at the moment.

Stefano Pioli would have hoped for a birthday present on the pitch for his 60th birthday, but his former club, AC Milan, denied that wish. Whilst his time at San Siro came to an unfortunate ending, perhaps hindered by his overextended stay at the helm, no one views the Italian in a negative light. After all, he brought the 19th Scudetto and relit the fire in the Rossoneri.

Leão does not know how to play with his back to the goal, he does not know how to protect the ball. He has no idea about soccer, he doesn't know how to kick with either the right or the left foot. He only has speed and that is only effective when the balls is thrown forward. What really bothers me is that a phenomenon is created. But it's not his fault, it's Milan's, who pay him €8million a year.

Despite the preference of Nico Williams for FC Barcelona, his transfer hasn't materialized yet, leaving Bayern Munich with a realistic chance to pursue Rafael Leão.

"He ticks a lot of boxes for Liverpool because he has got that explosive burst of pace and he's very direct in his play, so he would fit in well there."
