FT: 2-2. Mousa Dembele’s last four top-level games were against Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool and Juventus, and he was probably man of the match in all four.

Having covered Pochettino's #thfc for all but the last season and a bit, I think the idea that it's taken Mourinho to instil a winning mentality is harsh. You don't get three top-four finishes in a row if you can't win difficult games.

Easy narrative is ‘Villa players stopped playing for Gerrard.’ Personally don’t agree. There was a change of personnel yesterday, a clear change of approach, and opponents who had a stinker. Far bigger factors imo #avfc
