Cameroon, Nigeria, and Morocco have been the most convincing teams so far. Tough time for the blues. With the loss to City, where does the problem lie? Is there a performance issue (...Lukaku?) or is it more due to tactical decisions? Or is it a combination of both? Gerrard vs United! Villa making big moves on the transfer window and it seems to be working with Digne and Coutinho having an instant impact. Maybe this is the move needed for Coutinho to rejuvenate his career. On the other hand, United are still in shambles. Rangnick's hasn't delivered results yet. Somebody is being dishonest in the Martial situation and Ronaldo's critics of his teammate is one of the issues that United has to deal with right now. Everton has sacked Benitez but were they ever a good match in the first place?

On the other hand, Aubameyang was absent which seems to be a trend in the last few games. Clearly, Auba is going through a rough patch, and perhaps a spell on the bench could be to his benefit.

    In this week's episode, we discuss the recent appointment of Ralf Rangnick as United's interim manager and later as a consultant. Based on his past success, What can he bring to the Red Devils? And can he be the X factor that brings United back to the top? Zidane seems to be more interested in the PSG project, therefore there is a chance that United goes for Pochettino in the summer. We'll also discuss City/West ham and how this is further proof that there is a huge gap between the top 3 and the rest. Arsenal beat Newcastle but Aubameyang's miss might've been the highlight of this game which begs the question, where will the Gunners' goal contribution come from with an out-of-form Aubameyang, and an inconsistent Lacazette and Pepe (Gunners big 3). Much like Chelsea, the Gunners are able to get goals from different sources (most recently, Martinelli) but is that sustainable in the long term? Lastly, we'll discuss the Ballon d'Or. Did Messi deserve it? or was Lewandowski or Salah robbed? And what about Ronaldo! Will we ever see Ronaldo or Messi win another Ballon d'Or or is it the end?
