I don’t mean they’ll be out of the race but they will have fallen behind (apologies, I realise that I worded that wrongly). It may only be by two or three points by the new year, but they will drop points in the second half of the season, whereas I don’t think City will.

I think both Arsenal and Liverpool will drop out around Christmas time and then City will win it without breaking a sweat, not dropping any points from January to May.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the opinions of people that aren’t old enough to have actually been around when he was playing. Thierry Henry is up there with the best to have ever played in the Premier League.

You say you don’t get the excuse of him not getting the service in the PL but can you point to any games where he’s missed loads of chances? How are they defining chances in the Bruno stats? If he passes to Rashford and he shoots from 25 yards, does that count as Bruno creating a chance for Rashford? It’s a stat that seems weird when it’s well known that one of United’s main issues at the moment is that they’re struggling to create chances. They win the ball in the opposition half and then don’t seem to know what to do with it.
