As a lover of Bob Dylan you've always been known as a man of great discernment, other than in your support of Man Utd. On that note, I'm interested in your views of whether Marco is the kind of manager United could do with; has a clear tactical plan but is willing to be flexible and certainly won't be pictured staring helplessly at the turf or not watching penalties?

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres sent an interesting message about how much he liked playing with Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke as the team's two wingers against Nottingham Forest today. The Gunners earned a comfortable 3-0 win over Forest at the Emirates Stadium, with Gyokeres scoring the second goal after a lovely assist by fellow summer signing Eze. Martin Zubimendi also shone in the game, scoring twice for Arsenal, but afterwards Gyokeres had special praise for Eze and Madueke in particular.

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz will have surgery on a knee injury, but is not expected to be out for a significant amount of time. The 26-year-old featured in the opening win over Manchester United from the substitutes' bench, but missed the 5-0 victory over Leeds with the problem. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said before the Leeds match that "we need more time" before determining what course of action Havertz's injury required.

It would be wrong to get too far ahead of anything on this one. But it was impossible to ignore the alternative reading: Spurs did not want to be drawn into a battle with their rivals over one of the most exciting talents on the market. Spurs were fearful of that, and for good reason. They had to know that, given the choice, Eze would go for Arsenal over them.
