Impressive first season for Frank Lampard. Took Chelsea from 3rd to 4th; got six points fewer than Sarri; conceded as many league goals as Brighton; lost the FA Cup final to a fairly ramshackle Arsenal.

The offside law means Liverpool would have been better off if Alisson had let in Watkins’ shot rather than save it. Any rule that rewards a keeper letting in a shot rather than saving it probably needs to be looked at.

Gary Neville has so far blamed: • the organisation • the press • the line up • the tactics Without ever mentioning the manager might be responsible for those. His reputation disintegrating as quickly as this United team.

VAR only works if it’s getting the decisions right. If it gets one wrong and two mins later gets one right for the other team then you may as well just have a referee. Because that inconsistency was the problem in the first place.
