Jacob Steinberg was at the London Stadium. His report has landed, and here it is! Thanks for reading this MBM. Merry Christmas and a happy new year, everyone.

Erik ten Hag talks to TNT. “We had a solid performance … we were controlling the game … we performed very solid, controlling the game in possession … also we didn’t give chances away … we had to score … we had opportunities … then one moment of switching off, we conceded a goal … we have options … Marcus Rashford can play all positions across the front … when strikers don’t score confidence will decrease, but they have to believe … as a team we have to make the passes in the final third … [the central defensive partnership] played well but you want to have routines and when the routines are not there you concede a goal like we did … when the routines are in, this moment is out.”
