There are very, very few midfielders like him in football, style wise. A season or two as a regular in this Brighton team and he will quite frankly be one of the finest midfielders in the world. 

The game is there, its just about upping the levels and impacting the bog games. There's absolutely nothing to suggest he won't. 

Prime candidate to replace Modric in Madrid when he finally calls it a day IMVHO

Your boffins, your Guardian columnists, your Inverting the Pyramid acolytes: 'Burnley are great and will survive easily.'

Richard Keys (widely mocked by the commentariat): 'Last season all three promoted clubs stayed up for only the fourth time in history. My bet is all three go back down this time. Burnley will be great to play against - wide open.'

I wonder if it will get to the point that a team walks off of the pitch over a decision like that. Never in a million years should that have been allowed to stand, it should’ve been ruled out second VAR watched it back. Some inexcusable errors already this season

As I called when VAR was first mentioned, it's becoming a new way of making sure the 'correct' teams win games. Slowly but surely this is becoming the new normal.

Referees are too unpredictable and had to make instant decisions, where as now they have plenty of time to manipulate the situation to suit their needs.

Spurs’ goalie is a complete knob.  Burnley look a complete gang.  Chelsea will be looking for a new manager sooner rather than later.  Those are my hit takes from watching Match of the Day over my waffles and eggs this morning.

I'm in two minds regarding the Akanji/VAR incident. He's not in Leno's way at any point and he clearly is attempting to avoid the ball. On the flipside, not being in his line of vision, Leno is still conscious of his position. I'm not buying the pish it altered Leno's actions in attempting the save. He was just too slow to react.

Enjoyed Silva's post match interview. Passionate but in no way abusive.

He clearly hesitates as he thought Akinji was going to touch it, even if he doesn't it is even more clearly affecting play standing in an offside position, 6 yards in front of the keeper, in a direct line for where the shot was hit... 

If a linesman gave it as a goal in the heat of the moment it would've gone down to "another big team decision", but now with VAR they have more chance to manipulate results. Top level football isn't a sport anymore, it's a cartel
