Games come thick and fast between now and the new year, which is exciting but also spells doom for certain managers
If the Premier League season does not feel like it has properly got going yet it is probably because the first segment of eight matchdays was disrupted by a couple of international breaks, meaning that a competition that only started in mid-September has spent the best part of a month accommodating the glacial pace of the Nations League.
Scotland were lucky in that they at least had some competitive football to savour and celebrate, Manchester City fans must have enjoyed the Ferran Torres hat-trick against Germany, though the general feeling in England was that Premier League games tend to be more compelling than watching Gareth Southgate overpopulate his side with defensive-minded players when looking for a win. The remainder of the calendar year will put that theory to the test, for there are another eight Premier League matchdays to be played in the six weeks to the new year, not to mention rounds of the Champions League and the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.
