Kompany collapsing at 40 is terrifying and we're all hoping he's fine, but it also reminds you that this job will chew you up if you let it.  •  Mousinho admitting Portsmouth got lucky is honest management, though admitting it publicly after a win is the kind of thing that haunts you when results turn.  •  Rice clutching his hamstring is the last thing Arsenal needed, and if that footage is what it looks like, this could get very messy very quickly.  •  Woltemade matching Baggio's record in a draw is nice for the kid, but Juventus drawing at home in Europe against Rennes is exactly the kind of result that costs you.  •  De Zerbi's already won over Spurs by beating Chelsea twice—now he's got the hard part, which is keeping them there.
