Premier League winners and losers: Arsenal, Postecoglou, Liverpool, Amorim, Spurs, Maresca
No surprise to see who heads up the winners section, even if they now have no choice but to accept the mantle of Premier League favourites.

Everton should know better over Jack Grealish, while Thomas Frank and Brentford are both thriving. But West Ham and Ruben Amorim look utterly hopeless.
Sunderland and Manchester City could not have planned better starts, while a Liverpool hero stepped up. And West Ham should “panic about its managers”.
Vitor Pereira has done as much to embarrass Ruben Amorim as Manchester United have, while Ange Postecoglou is gone and Newcastle did Eddie Howe proud.
Chelsea are abysmal against anyone good under Enzo Maresca and Ange Postecoglou has betrayed his word. Yet they have more hope than Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Manchester United are both just about winners. But Postecoglou, Dyche, Lopetegui and Juric are racing for the sack and Alexander-Arnold’s head is in Madrid.
Julen Lopetegui and Sean Dyche are in a compelling sack race behind Ange Postecoglou, who needs more from Heung-min Son. Liverpool and Forest are thriving.
Thomas Frank, Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva and Nuno Espirito Santo must be looking awfully attractive to Spurs and Newcastle. Russell Martin, less so.
Ruben Amorim is a Premier League winner. Hear us out. There is praise for Ange Postecoglou and Gary O’Neil but Man City, Steve Cooper and Sean Dyche get it.
Arne Slot and Fabian Hurzeler made light work of their Premier League bows as ‘experience’ backfired for Everton. Erik ten Hag could save this marriage.
Stoke and Sheffield United enjoyed their summer. Nottingham Forest, Reading and Hull could all be in trouble.
The fun and games are over so it is time to hand out the season’s biggest trophy and decide who won the transfer window.
Newcastle resorted to trolling fans to round off a dreadful summer. Liverpool signed as few players.
It turns out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is quite good as a striker. Could be worth looking into.
Romelu Lukaku will have fun at Chelsea. Tino Livramento is playing his way back there. But oh dear, Pablo Mari.
The FA Cup win will rightly sustain the fans, but missing out on top four again would really hurt.
It is becoming harder to “trust the process” under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. And is it the end for Nuno?
Jude Bellingham was a winner and a loser. But Phil Foden came of age for the 427th time, while Chelsea showed they can adapt…
Same coach, same coach and same coach again. Leeds, Lingard and Leicester feature in a Mourinho-heavy column.
The individuals culpable in Liverpool’s defeat feature prominently among the losers. Three young England talents make the winners…
Liverpool were as great as Arsenal were bad. Everything that could go wrong did for Chelsea.
Thomas Tuchel tops the winners. Pep Guardiola’s stylist joins Diego Simeone among the losers…
Here’s to Mbappe and Haaland fuelling football Twitter for the next 15 years. Barcelona look broken.
This Palace could be condemned before their huge rebuilding job in the summer. Who will oversee it?
Manchester United win 9-0 and get a couple of paragraphs. It’s that kind of winners and losers week.
Leeds turned in their worst performance of the season. Bielsa will take the blame, but for what exactly?
Are Man United any good? Dunno. Are they good enough to maybe win *this* Premier League? Yeah.
We might have got Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wrong. Not quite as drastically as Chelsea with Frank Lampard.
Arsenal and Allardyce have enjoyed hugely contrasting weeks. The young Gunners are on the up; West Brom look destined go down…
Solskjaer and United are winging it a little but fair play to them: Liverpool seem to be feeling the pressure.
