Atletico Madrid undoubtedly overpaid for Joao Felix but that is not his fault, though getting sent off on his Chelsea debut is… Who's this then?
Personally, I suspect he’s one of those players who will come really good in his late 20s when he’s matured and has a better sense of himself and where he belongs. The enigma may not be resolved at Chelsea and will only grow as he misses the next three games. Will he even have the time to coach Felix into being a better player when he’s surely preoccupied with trying to work out what on earth he can do to stop the Blues downward slide? So the player needs to do some work on himself, but all of this is interrelated to coaching and club. Saul and Jan Oblak were caught on camera saying “When he wants to, he can change the game, man.” The first half of that sentence is doing all the heavy lifting. His first goal was in the Lisbon derby, he was the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League, and he scored 20 goals in 43 appearances, helping Benfica to win the league. The blame for that can be laid at the club and Jorge Mendes, who, somewhat inevitably, is Felix’s agent. He clearly didn’t like his manager and his manager didn’t like him. Even though this season he’d scored four and made three in 14 appearances, by December the club was saying he was a gamble that hadn’t really paid off. He doesn’t strike me as the reincarnation of Chopper Harris, who routinely made tackles like that and far, far worse.. Last season he only scored eight in the league and made four assists but he was playing well, though suffering from aggressive defender attention. A talent from an early age, he joined Porto’s youth ranks aged just eight and even moved away from home when he was 12 to be near the club training ground.

Below is the full schedule, as you can watch all 380 games across our NBC platforms. There is a new solidity to United and Erik ten Hag has generated huge belief they can challenge for trophies and finish in the top four this season. Said Benrahma is tied for the team league in PL goals, with three, and scored in the FA Cup win over Brentford. Having 19-year-old midfielder Romeo Lavia back fit and firing is huge for Saints. Jordan Pickford continues to do his best in goal, while Demarai Gray is a real threat on the counter. The jury is still out on Nathan Jones from most Saints fans and that will be the case until they move off the bottom of the table and start to pick up points in the Premier League. They have been better defensively for most of this season but last time out against Brighton they conceded four and it could have been more.
