Manager sacking
It's a complete mess for Spurs. I don't see how Igor Tudor manages another Tottenham game. If you're going to make the change, I think if you don't make it beyond the international break, you stick with him until the end of the season.
Tottenham form
For Tottenham to be as gutless as they were in this game, after everything the fans did before the game and the embracing of Romero's message, my head would be on Mars if I was a Spurs fan.
La Liga title race
I very much have my money on Barcelona to see the La Liga title through. Real Madrid have turned the corner, but the real test is now going to be when they have Mbappe and Bellingham back in the team and how does that fit into the lineup.
Chelsea performance
Chelsea in every single Premier League game this season have been outrun by their opponents. It just feels like a team that are kind of listless.
Arsenal transfer strategy
I do expect in the summer and beyond there will be a correction to Arsenal's creative issues. They have to go out and get a more creative half-space player. I'm not even sure Odegaard is that player. I think Eze is that player.
Chelsea form
It feels like a team that are kind of listless. Chelsea are a lot of very talented players assembled to be greater than the sum of their parts, but they are not functioning in that way.
England squad selection
I know he's 35 years old, Danny Welbeck, but looking at the player he is right now, he's surely the second-best English striker. I'd have him over Calvert-Lewin. I'd have him over Ollie Watkins.
Real Madrid tactics
Real Madrid have so many different ways to hurt opponents. Trent Alexander-Arnold feels like the conundrum that in a weird way might solve something for Real Madrid where he does have that ability on the ball.
Newcastle tactical analysis
Newcastle are excellent at what they do, but as soon as they have to adapt and play a different way and maybe control with the ball a little bit more, I don't think they're capable of doing that as things stand.
Player form
Harry Kane is just so freaking good, man. I don't know of another person who finishes as consistently as he does and makes it look so easy.
