CHRIS SUTTON: Clubs must ban players guilty of lockdown-flouting NOT allow them to continue playing... seeing Luka Milivojevic leading Crystal Palace after New Year's rule-breaking didn't sit right
03/01/21 10:31
CHRIS SUTTON: Break Government guidelines, get caught, copy and paste an apology from your agent on social media, then carry on as normal. That is the way it seems to go. It did not sit right seeing Luka Milivojevic lead Crystal Palace out on Saturday after spending New Year's Eve with Aleksandar Mitrovic, the striker of the club whose games are being postponed because of a Covid-19 outbreak. Though Milivojevic flouted Government guidelines, we are told he did not break Premier League protocols because he tested negative before appearing for Palace....read

03/01/21 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: There were Arsenal players in tights, snoods, gloves, hats - you name it. Then there was Tierney, in his short-sleeved T-shirt and socks rolled down.

28/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: It wasn't fair for my dad's life to end in this way. Alone in a room in a world of his own, without any member of his family by his side.
CHRIS SUTTON: If football's authorities won't fight for its players and the families who have been afflicted by dementia, let's hope our MPs will pick up the slack

CHRIS SUTTON: Mikel Arteta clings to lone bright spark Gabriel Martinelli... he was wrong to start young goalkeeper Alex Runarsson in such a big game and he paid the price with soft goals
22/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Mikel Arteta's decision to start Martinelli looked an inspired one - up until the 19-year-old's unfortunate injury. While Runarsson's soft goals have seen Arsenal be knocked out.
CHRIS SUTTON: The PFA are all talk and NO action... every day there is a new story in football's dementia scandal but the shambolic players' union fail to make changes
21/12/20 10:31CHRIS SUTTON: Every week there seems to be another serious collision and further concern that they are not being dealt with properly. The PFA have still not set up the taskforce they promised.
CHRIS SUTTON: Make no mistake, Arsenal are in relegation trouble - upcoming clashes with Brighton and West Brom could be crucial for their Premier League future
20/12/20 10:39CHRIS SUTTON: It started so well with that FA Cup victory. Now, Arsenal's priority is staying in the Premier League rather than qualifying for Europe. They aren't above a race against relegation.
CHRIS SUTTON: Kamikaze Leeds are naive in the extreme... Marcelo Bielsa's side were schooled by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ruthless Manchester United
20/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Watching Leeds United is entertaining but they are naive in the extreme. It is kamikaze play at times, and Manchester United exploited that at Old Trafford.
CHRIS SUTTON: Liverpool were at their ruthless best as they thrashed Crystal Palace... West Brom and Newcastle must be wondering what is in store for them
20/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: This was Liverpool at their ruthless best. Eight shots on target, seven goals. Crystal Palace aren't an easy team to play. They're a stubborn bunch under Roy Hodgson.
CHRIS SUTTON: Jurgen Klopp's heavy metal football meets Jose Mourinho's mute button... Tottenham's practical approach has taken them to the top and Liverpool's makeshift defence must be ready for the counter attack
15/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: Liverpool will keep the ball and try to be creative with it. Tottenham will build a wall at the back and look to counter in the table-topping Premier League clash.
CHRIS SUTTON'S GUIDE TO THE EUROPEAN DRAWS: Liverpool and Manchester City will both progress in the Champions League... but Arsenal must brace for more disappointment in their Europa League tie with Benfica
14/12/20 10:31The draws for the next round of the Champions League and Europa League produced some mouthwatering ties on Monday. Sportsmail's CHRIS SUTTON has given his verdict on them...
CHRIS SUTTON: Lacklustre Man City are crying out for the return of super Sergio Aguero after what was one of the dullest Manchester derbies ever
13/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON - MY VERDICT: City didn't go for the jugular against United at Old Trafford, and haven't been clicking in the final third without Sergio Aguero.
CHRIS SUTTON: Clash against injury-hit Liverpool is the perfect opportunity for Jose Mourinho's Tottenham to show their title credentials
13/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Liverpool have a makeshift defence and Tottenham boast the best attacking duo in the Premier League. It is an excellent chance for Jose Mourinho's side.
City dominate CHRIS SUTTON'S Manchester derby combined XI... so, who are the only TWO United players who make the cut?
11/12/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: The only United men worthy of a place are Bruno Fernandes - you'd be mad not to include him in your team - and Marcus Rashford.
Sticking with Solskjaer, kicking out Paul Pogba and dropping David De Gea... Sportsmail's experts on how they would solve Manchester United's issues after Champions League exit
09/12/20 09:54It's very much been a case of two steps forward, one step back for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this season, amid problems of consistency all over the pitch - so what needs to change?
CHRIS SUTTON: Manchester United were the masters of their own Champions League downfall... criminal defending and poor starts mean their exit wound is self-inflicted
08/12/20 10:42CHRIS SUTTON: They started so well - two wins from two, beating RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain. Then they made mistakes. There was the criminal defending at Istanbul Basaksehir.
CHRIS SUTTON: Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola lacks class... what a time time to drop such a bombshell on the eve of Manchester United's crunch Champions League clash at RB Leipzig
07/12/20 10:37CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: It was remarkable to read quotes from Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola on the eve of this season-defining clash, declaring his client's United career over.
CHRIS SUTTON: Tottenham's Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are going to beat mine and Alan Shearer's record for goal contributions in a season - and I don't mind passing the mantle over to such a special pair. Not one bit
06/12/20 11:02CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Kane and Son Heung-min have combined for 11 goals in 2020-21. Alan Shearer and some chap called Chris Sutton did it 13 times for Blackburn in 1994-95.
CHRIS SUTTON: Playing on the counter works in Manchester United's favour... PSG were frustrated by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's 3-4-1-2 system in Paris and a similar approach can reap rewards despite being back at home
02/12/20 12:58CHRIS SUTTON: Man United will progress with just a draw at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and with Edinson Cavani's confidence sky-high, he should start against the club that released him.
CHRIS SUTTON: Now is the time to get a trial going for the revolutionary mouthguard... there is no downside and players deserve to know what is happening to their head every day
01/12/20 10:30INSIGHT: Via live data, the mouthguard can alert coaches when you enter the 'red zone' - a point at which you are vulnerable and when to continue heading the ball could be dangerous.
CHRIS SUTTON: Edinson Cavani laced up and tore Southampton apart... the veteran has that striker's instinct and showed he can cut it in England with his match-winning double
29/11/20 10:32CHRIS SUTTON: Seeing Edinson Cavani change his footwear near the start of the second half, then go on to win the game for Manchester United, made me think of that comic strip Billy's Boots.
CHRIS SUTTON: For Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to blame BT Sport for causing James Milner's injury was embarrassing... he got this badly wrong
29/11/20 10:32CHRIS SUTTON: Klopp has got this one badly wrong. For the manager of Liverpool to blame James Milner's injury on BT Sport was embarrassing. Good on Des Kelly for holding his ground.
CHRIS SUTTON: Football needs to wise up... David Luiz playing on after sickening clash of heads with Raul Jimenez shows that concussion subs need to come in NOW
29/11/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: What a shambles. How uncomfortable was it watching Arsenal defender David Luiz play on after such a sickening clash of heads with Wolves' Raul Jimenez?
CHRIS SUTTON: Gordon Taylor's biggest legacy will his complete and utter failure to act on dementia in football
25/11/20 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Ask Jeff Astle's daughter Dawn what she thinks of the PFA under Taylor. Ask Nobby Stiles's son John. Ask former England captain Dave Watson's wife Penny.
CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Kane is the most complete forward in the WORLD... his performances so far this season have given Tottenham a genuine shot at the Premier League title
23/11/20 12:57CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Kane is the most complete striker in world football, and with the way he's playing at the moment, he can steer Tottenham Hotspur to their first ever Premier League title

08/11/20 10:31CHRIS SUTTON: Every single title contender, from Liverpool to Manchester City to Chelsea and whoever else fancies their chances, needs their medical teams to protect their players.
Gordon Taylor, you are full of BULL. Footballers keep dying from dementia and it MUST be your union's priority. You should be ashamed it isn't - CHRIS SUTTON's open letter to PFA chief

Does Paul Pogba still get in Manchester United's best XI? Solskjaer still doesn't know what his strongest team is or whether a certain World Cup winner should play... so Sportsmail's experts give him a hand

CHRIS SUTTON: England should follow Everton's lead and drop Jordan Pickford for Nick Pope
01/11/20 10:32CHRIS SUTTON: He's flapped in goal for Everton this season, making a number of errors and not keeping a clean sheet since their victory at Tottenham. He also ended Virgil van Dijk's season.
CHRIS SUTTON: Men like my dad and Sir Bobby Charlton are victims of a scandal... more needs to be done to prevent footballers developing the horrific disease that is dementia
01/11/20 10:01CHRIS SUTTON: The man in the chair is hunched over and motionless, staring into space and drooling. Sometimes he mumbles, but never makes any sense. He doesn't recognise me.
CHRIS SUTTON: Manchester United's makeshift defence refused to be bullied by PSG's star-studded attack... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a perfect plan and his players executed it
20/10/20 10:14CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: The back three of Axel Tuanzebe, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw, along with Fred and Scott McTominay in front of them, made life difficult for a very talented PSG side.
CHRIS SUTTON: Is it no Virgil van Dijk, no title defence for Liverpool? Dutchman's injury smacks of Manchester City's struggles after losing talisman Vincent Kompany
18/10/20 09:44CHRIS SUTTON: Losing Virgil van Dijk can be the difference between Liverpool winning the Premier League and losing their grip on the trophy they waited so long to lift.
CHRIS SUTTON: England do not have a Paul Gascoigne despite Jack Grealish's comparisons to him nor a passer like Paul Scholes among the current crop of players... so Gareth Southgate is working with what he has at his disposal
15/10/20 09:31CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: Jack Grealish is being touted as the next Gazza but at the moment Gareth Southgate's best combination in midfield is Jordan Henderson and Declan Rice.
CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Maguire is going to have to show real strength of character to come back from this - he will eventually because there's a good player in there
14/10/20 10:01CHRIS SUTTON: There will be a lot of fans around the country revelling in the fact Harry Maguire is having an absolute shocker. I've been there when my confidence was down
CHRIS SUTTON: We'd all love to see expansive, free-flowing football from England, but Gareth Southgate wants to make his side hard to beat... it worked against Belgium so expect the same tactics at the Euros next summer too
13/10/20 11:05CHRIS SUTTON: We'd all love to see expansive, free-flowing football from England, but Gareth Southgate wants to make his side hard to beat, first and foremost.
CHRIS SUTTON: It's dirty, it stinks and it kills dreams... Project Big Picture will change English football as we know it and it cannot happen
12/10/20 09:38CHRIS SUTTON: Project Big Picture would make the big boys bigger and the little guys smaller, all while limiting the Premier League to 18 teams. I would be amazed if it gets the green light.
CHRIS SUTTON: Solving problems will have pleased Gareth Southgate... the England boss deserves credit but there was an alarming lack of intensity in the first half against Belgium
11/10/20 09:25CHRIS SUTTON - MY VERDICT: Credit to England. This wasn't some inferior nation who they were expected to wallop at Wembley. To do what they did is hugely encouraging for Gareth Southgate.
CHRIS SUTTON: Gareth Southgate is a bigger man than Jose Mourinho if he rests Harry Kane against Wales... the Tottenham boss has had prime opportunities to give his star man a break and yet continued to play him
07/10/20 09:39COMMENT: Against Maccabi Haifa and then Manchester United Jose Mourinho had chances to give Harry Kane a break - and he didn't. If Gareth Southgate does, he comes out as the bigger man.
CHRIS SUTTON: The bonkers Premier League goal-fest is down to rank defending... and I'm loving the drama!
05/10/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: This is shaping up to be the most bonkers season in Premier League history - and I'm loving the drama. We've witnessed goals galore and ridiculous results and rotten defending.
CHRIS SUTTON: I saw a Manchester United team that downed tools... Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side produced an absolutely gutless performance against Tottenham
04/10/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Gutless. Absolutely gutless. I normally hate accusations of players 'downing tools', but that is just what we saw from Manchester United on Sunday.
CHRIS SUTTON: Liverpool put a new-look Arsenal team in their place with a display of real authority and remain the team to beat for the title
28/09/20 09:40CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: It didn't look like it would be an easy start for Liverpool. Their first three league fixtures were against Leeds at home, Chelsea away, then Arsenal here.
'The game is being totally ruined': Sportsmail's experts Peter Crouch, Chris Sutton and Martin Keown blast the new handball rule after yet another weekend of drama in Premier League
27/09/20 09:14The new handball rule in the Premier League has caused controversy several times already this season, and it doesn't look like being cleared up anytime soon after another weekend of drama.
CHRIS SUTTON: It's all doom and gloom at Manchester United but it's too soon to write off their season with the transfer window still open... Tottenham have shown the difference a week can make
20/09/20 09:33They had a flat pre-season then faced a stubborn Crystal Palace and lost. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer dropped Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Mason Greenwood when fans want them to start.
CHRIS SUTTON: Kepa is Chelsea's biggest flop... since me! Frank Lampard can spend a king's ransom on his attack but his goalkeeper has never proven worthy of being the world's most expensive stopper
20/09/20 09:31CHRIS SUTTON: Kepa Arrizabalaga cost Chelsea £71.6million in 2018 but has never proven worthy of being the world's most expensive goalkeeper. In football, you get a chance to redeem yourself.
CHRIS SUTTON: Turbo Timo Werner will terrify Premier League defences after fine performance in Chelsea's away victory at Brighton
14/09/20 09:56CHRIS SUTTON - ANALYSIS: Timo Werner is so rapid he got the nickname 'Turbo Timo' while playing in Germany with RRB Leipzig. He certainly lived up to the name on his league debut.
Man City are a 'wounded animal' and will push Liverpool all the way in the Premier League title race, Jose Mourinho can deliver Spurs silverware and it's great to have Leeds back in the big time! Sportsmail's experts look ahead to the new season
10/09/20 09:31Ahead of the new season starting this weekend, Sportsmail's experts MICAH RICHARDS, MARTIN KEOWN and CHRIS SUTTON have their say on everything Premier League.

CHRIS SUTTON: Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood's disrespect in Iceland leaves Gareth Southgate looking like head of sixth form
07/09/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Gareth Southgate should be working on tactics, Instead he's reprimanding two kids for bringing girls back to their hotel, as if he is a head of Sixth Form, not England boss.
CHRIS SUTTON: England's attackers needed Jack Grealish's magic during drab clash against Iceland... he can pick the lock in midfield like few others in Gareth Southgate's squad
06/09/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON - ANALYSIS: Teams can try to stifle you, as Iceland did on Saturday evening, and that's when you need someone who can unlock doors. Jack Grealish is of that ilk in this squad.
CHRIS SUTTON: Ainsley Maitland-Niles was pivotal in Arsenal's Community Shield triumph and must stay at the Emirates this summer... he's a diamond and Arsenal are better off with him than without him
30/08/20 09:34CHRIS SUTTON: Ainsley Maitland-Niles was pivotal in Arsenal winning the Community Shield at Wembley on Saturday - even his penalty was the epitome of cool
CHRIS SUTTON: Hansi Flick paid no attention when people said he should think twice about his high defensive line and he was proven right... why change a winning formula?
23/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Had Hans-Dieter Flick logged on to social media this week, he would have read about how he should think twice about that high defensive line of his.
CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Maguire should have known to avoid a notoriously boozy island like Mykonos... he would have been better off going to Disney World instead!
23/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Being a footballer is great, but there are certain downsides that come with playing the game. You have to accept you can't live a normal life and Harry Maguire should know that.
CHRIS SUTTON: Spaceman Thomas Muller takes Bayern Munich into a different orbit... there is NO WAY the Champions League final will be 0-0
21/08/20 09:31No way this Champions League final finishes 0-0. No way at least one of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Angel di Maria, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller or Serge Gnabry doesn't score.
CHRIS SUTTON: Lyon left to rue missed chances after Memphis Depay and Co failed to take advantage of Bayern Munich's high line in Champions League semi-final defeat
19/08/20 09:24CHRIS SUTTON - INSIGHT: Lyon knew Bayern Munich's game plan would involve lots of possession and playing with a high line, so they tried to use that against the Germans.
CHRIS SUTTON: The French top flight is no 'Farmers League' and the emergence of Moussa Dembele proves the value of the Scottish Premiership
16/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Kylian Mbappe poked fun at the way France's Ligue 1 is viewed, tweeting 'FARMERS LEAGUE' after Lyon knocked Manchester City out of the Champions League.
CHRIS SUTTON: It was a Beautiful Day for Sevilla goalkeeper Bono... the Moroccan made some excellent saves to frustrate Manchester United
16/08/20 09:30The chances just kept coming for Manchester United. But so too did the blocks by Sevilla's defenders and the saves by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, or Bono as he is also known.
CHRIS SUTTON: Lyon are not going to be pushovers but Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side can tame them and progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League
09/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Three wins in eight days and Manchester City are the champions of Europe. This is their chance to stick the ultimate two fingers up to UEFA.
CHRIS SUTTON: With Sergio Ramos suspended for Champions League return, Manchester City aces will be licking their lips... I predict that Pep Guardiola's side will go through
06/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: The fact Ramos is suspended for Friday night's match is big news for Manchester City. He is Real's leader, their inspiration and a big reason why they won LaLiga.
CHRIS SUTTON: David Raya's howler cost Brentford their £160m shot at the Premier League... in a game of triumph or disaster, he was outwitted by Joe Bryan when it mattered most
04/08/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Bravo, Fulham's Joe Bryan. To have the imagination to try that - and pull it off so late in a play-off final - was remarkable. But what was David Raya thinking with his positioning?
CHRIS SUTTON: Bring back proper tackling, end the dementia scandal, make the FA Cup glorious again and ditch the VAR menace... my 10 ways to save football
30/07/20 09:30Here, in extracts from his brilliant new book You're Better Than That! How To Fix Modern Football CHRIS SUTTON sets out ways to solve the problems holding back the game we all love.
CHRIS SUTTON: It's good for football that Watford were relegated to the Championship... it shows that the revolving door policy has consequences
26/07/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: I feel for Watford's fans and the staff, some of whom may lose their jobs as a result of this relegation. But it's good for football that this club went down
CHRIS SUTTON: Useless David de Gea is shot of confidence and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer must think carefully who his No 1 will be for next season after his howlers against Chelsea
19/07/20 09:46Jeeper keepers! To think it's less than a month since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described David de Gea as 'the best goalkeeper in the world'. In reality, Solskjaer has some serious thinking to do.
CHRIS SUTTON: Chelsea will have the possession in Wembley showdown but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won't mind... stopping Bruno Fernandes is the only way Frank Lampard can throw a tactical spanner in the works
18/07/20 04:26CHRIS SUTTON: The likelihood is Chelsea will have the majority of the ball at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. But it is also likely that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will not mind that.
CHRIS SUTTON: The bust-up between Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min wasn't pretty... wait until you get in dressing room if you want to chin someone
06/07/20 09:54INSIGHT - CHRIS SUTTON: Jose Mourinho spoke about Tottenham 's togetherness ahead of this match. But maybe they aren't as together as we think, judging by what happened between pair.
CHRIS SUTTON: Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne is the greatest ever passer in the Premier League
02/07/20 10:24CHRIS SUTTON: Kevin De Bruyne has the range of Paul Scholes. He has the crossing expertise of David Beckham. He has the poise of Dennis Bergkamp.
CHRIS SUTTON: I will continue to wear Black Lives Matter badge... equality is more important than organisation's controversial appeal to defund police
01/07/20 09:30There is a difference between Black Lives Matter the message and Black Lives Matter the organisation. One is about fighting for equality. The other's UK wing has called for cuts to police funding.
CHRIS SUTTON: Liverpool have not only joined the band of brilliant Premier League winners like Arsenal's Invincibles and Jose Mourinho's first Chelsea side, but they are the most emphatic champions we've ever seen
25/06/20 10:02INSIGHT - CHRIS SUTTON: Looking back at the Premier League's collection of champions, some stand out. Arsenal's Invincibles come to mind, as might the Manchester City Centurions.
CHRIS SUTTON: Anthony Martial could be the No 9 Manchester United have craved after ruthless hat-trick reminiscent of Ruud van Nistelrooy... and he will score even more with Bruno Fernandes supplying ammunition
24/06/20 09:21CHRIS SUTTON: It is one game - and Sheffield United weren't up to much - but there were encouraging signs, especially the nature of his first two goals, which were typical No.9 finishes.
CHRIS SUTTON: Jose Mourinho and Harry Kane did their talking on the pitch... it wasn't pretty but Tottenham stopped the rot against West Ham and got the win they desperately needed
23/06/20 09:39CHRIS SUTTON: What Jose Mourinho needed was for his team to respond on the pitch. Whether it was pretty or not, they got the win that they desperately needed.
CHRIS SUTTON: An underwhelming Merseyside derby was crying out for some Mohamed Salah magic... the Egyptian makes things happen
21/06/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON - VERDICT: This was the 11th match since the Premier League restart and the most noticeable in which the supporters were missed in what was an underwhelming derby.
CHRIS SUTTON: How ridiculous does Mikel Arteta look now for backing David Luiz after Manchester City howler... and after a season of complaining about VAR, goalline technology cost Sheffield United three points
17/06/20 08:58CHRIS SUTTON: We saw what Luiz is capable of producing here. Nobody out there will have seen this mistake for Manchester City's opener and thought: 'Blimey, that's not like him.'
CHRIS SUTTON: It's time for Premier League strikers to earn their corn... it's been 100 days since the last match but an early goal should help forwards dust off the cobwebs
16/06/20 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Wednesday marks 100 days since the last Premier League match - Leicester 4-0 Aston Villa. That's a long time for a striker to go without scoring a goal.
'I'll take great pride in seeing Van Dijk win the title at Liverpool': Neil Lennon talks with Chris Sutton about helping to make Dutch star a world beater... and wanting 10 in a row at Celtic before considering Premier League job
14/06/20 09:30EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Celtic manager Neil Lennon is thinking back to the night Martin O'Neill and a Domino's pizza box changed his life. It was on February 14, 1996.
CHRIS SUTTON: The PFA is in need of modernisation and Dave Kitson has been there and done that as a player... I take my hat off to him for trying to bring about change

CHRIS SUTTON: Gareth Southgate's kids will be hitting their prime... pushing Euro 2020 back may benefit England youngsters more than most
25/03/20 10:30COMMENT: Harry Kane, you expect, will be fitter than he would have been this summer. Young talents such as Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi will have gained another year of experience.
CHRIS SUTTON: Cancelling the Premier League because of the coronavirus outbreak would open a huge can of worms... we cannot name Liverpool champions just yet
13/03/20 10:18COMMENT: If we were to cancel the FA Cup and Champions League and say no one will be declared winners of those competitions this season, then we could live with that.
CHRIS SUTTON: All major leagues are either suspended or behind closed doors, yet in England and Scotland the message is: carry on, chaps. It's ludicrous. This is life or death and the Premier League needs to WAKE UP
12/03/20 10:30COMMENT: All across Europe, divisions are being suspended or games played behind closed doors. Yet it England and Scotland it's business as usual. It is ludicrous.
CHRIS SUTTON: Jurgen Klopp's Champions League game plan is once again undone by a goalkeeper gaffe... it was an agonising night for Liverpool
11/03/20 11:21CHRIS SUTTON: Not for the first time, inadequate goalkeeping costs Liverpool in Europe. It happened in 2018, with Loris Karius, and it happened here, with Adrian.
CHRIS SUTTON: Sloppy Manchester City must invest again... despite their extensive spending, Pep Guardiola's defence requires significant surgery
08/03/20 10:34CHRIS SUTTON: We witnessed a goalkeeping and defensive disasterclass from Manchester City and a defeat which summed up the sloppiness of their season.
