Omoda has announced the 5 SHS-H as its first ever full hybrid.

It is starting to become clear why some ‘people seem to think Saka don’t pass to Gyokeres’. One unfancied Arsenal star did nothing to convince Mikel Arteta. We also have mails on Manchester United DNA and Liam Rosenior’s best mate. Send your thoughts to theeditor@football365.com.

A good match versus Inter, few players I need to mention, Masquera, a very good player, played well. Jesus, lead the line nicely. Was not impressed with Eze and I see why…

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about the changing role of football bosses. Are they manager or head coaches? Are they, in fact, ageing men or merely coaching heads? Is there any difference? Does any of it matter? What has definitely happened is a final, decisive and long-inevitable move towards the full LinkedIn-isation of whatever the job is called at the Premier League level. We’re not surprised it’s happened. We’re surprised it’s taken this long and has occurred at a time when Brendan Rodgers is not gainfully employed in the country to deploy his many pearls of inspirational wisdom.…
