The Old Lady completed Matchday 15 in Serie A with an 11-point lead over fifth-place Bologna, thanks to another knife's edge 1-0 victory over Napoli this weekend, and I think it's probably a testament to the strangeness of the year that two things are simultaneously true: that all of us are pretty thrilled with the results and the position on the table, but at the same time it's quite clear this team still has plenty of room for improvement to reach another gear or two.
I found myself, for various reasons I won't go into, watching Manchester United play against Bournemouth with my 2-year-old son on Saturday morning. I was blessed with the Red Devils getting absolutely thrashed, but I was also given a first-row seat into what a complete striker on his game can look like: Dominic Solanke was a man on fire against United.
