Both create a bit of a thrill and herald brighter days to come, although not literally in Merse’s case, him returning to our tellies a signal that summer – or what there was of it – is coming to an end.
When Ten Hag joined the crew after the game, Joshua Zirkzee’s winner taking years off the fella, there was a spring in his step, Roy opting not to bring his mood down by grilling him on, say, why Harry Maguire was still at the club. “Nah, I’m just chilling out. It’s a good vibe going on,” said Keane. “You don’t want to spoil the vibe, hey?” asked ten Hag. “Na. Just keep winning. It’s easy, no problem,” said Roy. Ten Hag’s grimace was a worry.
A chunk of Sky’s postmatch chat was, though, focused on the statement issued by Raheem Sterling’s representatives just before the Chelsea-Manchester City game, following his omission from Chelsea’s match-day squad. It’s as well that Roy was given Sunday off. “Eh,” as Gary put it. It was the most Premier League footballish thing ever.
“He came back two weeks early, that’s nice of him,” said Jamie Redknapp, steam coming out of the fella’s ears. The statement, he said, was “absolute rubbish”, “I’m not ‘aving that one bit.” Daniel Sturridge and Micah beat about the bush a bit, questioning the timing but expressing their love for Sterling. Despite him needing a) a kick up the backside and b) to play better.
