We weren’t terrible like we were so many times under Vincent Kompany in the Premier League, but we were still well off it.Best goal We’ve scored a couple of nice ones but I’d probably go for Lyle Foster at United. We need a bit more of that from him.Best opponent I don’t think there’s been that many standout individual performances against us so far.



Villa away was also a masterclass, and the sheer ease with which we beat Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League shows just how far we have come.Worst 90 mins Slightly bending the rules here given it was Europe, but our 0-0 snorefest in Fredrikstad when we struggled against the low block and an artificial pitch: one of the worst games I have ever seen, and made worse by the huge cost in going to see it!Best goal Marc Guéhi’s top-corner curler against Villa. And we will.Best 90 mins The first at home to Bournemouth.

Foden is “back”, and Haaland has started outrageously well.Best 90 mins I don’t think there’s been a clear ‘best performance’ yet in the league, though we were dominant in the 5-1 win over Burnley. Forest are back, baby (at least for a few minutes).Best opponent Granit Xhaka for Sunderland; he was utterly in control of everything that was happening.Worst VAR moment We’ve had a few dodgy ref calls, as often happens when things aren’t going your way; I would have liked VAR to look at Nico Domínguez’s yellow card against Sunderland for simulation after getting caught by a high boot – I bet you won’t see that given again this season.Next manager sacked Postecoglou.By Christmas we will be 16th, but doing better than right now.
