themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-27--Two underrated Man City stars deserve credit after Gerrard slip

April 27 , 2014 will always be remembered as a memorable day in Premier League history .
Many saw it as a coronation day for Brendan Rodgers and Liverpool , only for Jose Mourinho to do what he does best - turn a defensive masterclass into a smash-and-grab win to well and truly rip up the script .
Having told his teammates not to let things slip , Liverpool 's inspirational captain Steven Gerrard lost his footing at the worst possible moment to allow Demba Ba to streak forward and stun Merseyside .
That , famously , was that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ defeat may have blown the title race wide open but that only heightened the tension at Selhurst Park as Manuel Pellegrini 's brilliant-but-occasionally-brittle team waited to kick off on what was a properly super Sunday .
Manchester City now knew they could move to within three points of top spot with a game in hand and a superior goal difference but were up against a good team at a difficult ground with a manager who would be soon crowned the best in the league .
In circumstances as straightforward as a banana , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just three minutes on the clock , Yaya Toure received the ball on the cusp of the Palace third and found no opposition defender sweeping towards him .
He looked up to see Edin Dzeko between two defenders , moved the ball onto his right , and arced in a delicate cross that was planted into the net to shred some nerves on the pitch and among the away support .
Arriving in the same summer as Sergio Aguero in 2011 , Dzeko would never be the most high-profile forward at the club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tevez and Mario Balotelli grabbing headlines in the first Premier League title win .
However , as well as scoring some wonderful technical goals he also scored important goals and was outstanding in the 2013/14 campaign .
There were 26 goals in all competitions , including this one at Palace as part of five goals in the last four games that also featured a brace in the 3-2 win over Everton and breaking the deadlock in the 64th minute in a 4-0 win over Aston Villa .
This year also saw the best @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is fair to say that City 's midfielder drove them over the line in the title race with seven goals and four assists in his last nine appearances , the magnitude of his contribution does n't do justice to how nimble and intricate he was .

With three Palace players on his back on the halfway line , Toure plays the ball inside to Samir Nasri and accelerates again , sprinting beyond Damian Delaney to get to the return pass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when the ball was played .
Delaney does well to get a tackle in but as the ball spins up Toure , at full tilt , is able to steady himself and the ball , cut inside , and curl a left-footed effort in off the post .
Gerrard 's slip may have been more iconic for neutrals but that is only because City , led by Toure and Dzeko , ensured the mistake made sure it ended up costing Liverpool what would have been their first Premier League title .

It has been five weeks since the Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued a very clear message to the public.
Stay home, protect the NHS and save lives.
And for the majority, that has been the case.
Mr Johnson praised the public on his return to work on Monday after he himself ending up spending three days in intensive care after contracting coronavirus.
He said in an address outside Number 10: "Once again I want to thank you the people of this country for the sheer grit and guts you've shown and are continuing to show."
And whilst the PM did encouragingly say we are going through the peak of the outbreak, he warned that it is not the time to be complacent.

Which again begs the question, when will we see the end of the current lockdown measures?
"I know there will be many people looking at our apparent success, and beginning to wonder whether now is the time to go easy on those social distancing measures," Mr Johnson said.
"And so I know it is tough. And I want to get this economy moving as fast as I can, but I refuse to throw away all the effort and the sacrifice of the British people and to risk a second major outbreak and huge loss of life and the overwhelming of the NHS.
"And I ask you to contain your impatience, because I believe we are coming now to the end of the first phase of this conflict and in spite of all the suffering we have so nearly succeeded."
As previously mentioned by the government, there are five very specific tests that need to be met before an easing of the current restrictions can be considered.
These are:
1. Making sure the NHS can cope
"We must protect the NHS' ability to cope. We must be confident we are able to provide sufficient critical care and specialist treatment right across the UK.
2. There's a 'sustained and consistent' fall in the daily death rate
"We need to see a sustained and consistent fall in the daily death rate from coronavirus so we can be confident we have moved beyond the peak."
3. The rate of infection decreasing to 'manageable levels'
"We need to have reliable data from SAGE showing that the rate of infection is decreasing to manageable levels across the board."
4. Ensuring supply of tests and PPE can meet future demand
"We need to be confident that the range of operational challenges including testing capacity and PPE are in hand with supply able to meet future demand."
5. Being confident any adjustments would not risk a second peak
"We need to be confident that any adjustments to the current measures will not risk a second peak of infections that overwhelm the NHS."
It is not until these have been met that lockdown is likely to be lifted.
As it stands, the next review of the measures is set to take place on or around May 7.

The Prime Minister made this announcement five weeks ago on Monday March 23 .
This means we are now entering our sixth week of living under these strict measures .
But for how much longer ?
This is the daily question being asked by the public however , there is n't much of an answer .
When Mr Johnson made the announcement last month , he said the measures would be reviewed in three weeks .
This took place on the week beginning April 13 and by April 16 we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pending another review in another three weeks time .
This will take place on or around May 7 .
If the decision is to again extend the measures , another three weeks of lockdown will begin and the next review wo n't take place until the end of May .
By this point , it will be edging closer to the end of the recommended 12 weeks of shielding for those most at risk including the elderly and those with underlying health conditions .
This measure was announced shortly before lockdown , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is still unclear .

Rio Ferdinand says Manchester United should try to sign Jadon Sancho and Thomas Partey when the transfer window opens .

Ferdinand was asked which three players he would sign for United and suggested they still need another centre-back .

`` I 'd definitely buy Sancho .
Can you imagine Sancho in that team ?
He draws two or three players to him and [ Marcus ] Rashford 's playing one-v-one ?
Oh God , it 's over .
`` I would maybe go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ [ Wilfred ] Ndidi from Leicester , I like Saul Niguez , he 's a very , very good player in midfield .
And I do still think they need a centre-back .
`` Whether you go for a young one , like Ben Godfrey , or go for someone like Koulibaly , I do n't know , it 's difficult . ''
Norwich City centre-back Godfrey , 22 , has captained the England Under-21s and is represented by the New Era agency that Ferdinand is involved with .
United do not regard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long-standing interest in the Napoli enforcer .
The MEN reported United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer regards Koulibaly as one of the best centre-backs in the world along with Virgil van Dijk , Matthijs de Ligt , and Harry Maguire , but is content with his options in a defence that has kept nine clean sheets in their last 11 matches .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-27--Urgent alert as ‘coronavirus-related condition may be emerging in children’

An alert has been issued over a ' coronavirus-related condition ' emerging in children .
The warning has been issued to GPs following a rise in cases in the last two to three weeks .
While the number of affected children is reported to be low , the syndrome , which is yet to be named , can cause several unpleasant symptoms , including abdominal pain and cardiac inflammation .
According to the Health Service Journal , the alert sent to doctors says that in recent weeks 'there has been an apparent rise in the number of children of all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ requiring intensive care across London and also in other regions of the UK ' .
It adds : “ There is a growing concern that a [ covid-19 ] related inflammatory syndrome is emerging in children in the UK , or that there may be another , as yet unidentified , infectious pathogen associated with these cases.
” The HSJ says that so far , little is known about the issue , nor how widespread it has been .
The 'absolute number of children affected is thought to be very small ' , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the affected children have tested positive for covid-19 , and some appear to have had the virus in the past , but some have not .
The syndrome has the characteristics of serious covid-19 , but there have otherwise been relatively few cases of serious effects or deaths from coronavirus in children .
It still remains the case that fewer children than adults have had serious illness with coronavirus , or have died as a result of having it .
The alert was issued to GPs in North London by their clinical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to doctors more widely and is confirmed in a separate 'urgent alert ' issued last night by the Paediatric Intensive Care Society .
Both alerts say that the reported cases have 'overlapping features of toxic shock syndrome and atypical Kawasaki Disease with blood parameters consistent with severe COVID-19 in children ' .
They state : `` Abdominal pain and gastrointestinal symptoms have been a common feature as has cardiac inflammation .
“ This has been observed in children with confirmed PCR positive SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as children who are PCR negative .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has also been observed.
” Based on the findings , paediatricians and GPs are being urged to refer children with these symptoms .
The evidence to date suggests that although children do develop COVID-19 , very few children develop severe symptoms , even if they have an underlying health condition .
That is reiterated by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health , where , commenting on the reports of a COVID-19-related condition emerging in children , Professor Russell Viner , President of RCPCH , said : `` We already know that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become severely ill with COVID-19 but this is very rare - evidence from throughout the world shows us that children appear to be the part of the population least affected by this infection .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-27--Man United have a simple decision to make over Paul Pogba future

When Paul Pogba went public with his desire for a new challenge last summer , there were several options on the table for Manchester United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
As it became clear that the club were in no mood to fold , Mino Raiola tried to up the ante on the eve of departure for Australia and leg one of the summer tour , but again United refused to budge .
Solskjaer and United were determined to keep a star asset , content that his contract situation was secure , and when the World Cup winner turned up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was a simple decision to make .
Pogba was staying .
United had probably calculated that the European Championship this summer would act as an added motivation for Pogba , who would want to be fit and in form to represent France .
If he achieved that by giving United one final swansong then everybody would be a winner .
Injuries mean it has n't quite worked out like that .
Pogba has played just 662 minutes this season , none since the turn of the year , and recently United have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and performances without him , mainly thanks to the contribution of Bruno Fernandes .
But the noise around Pogba has rarely gone away , much of it fuelled by Raiola 's comments during the season .
There is still uncertainty around the Frenchman 's intentions this summer , but then it probably pays to keep his options at the moment , given the next transfer window , whenever it takes place , is unlikely to see many significant deals , as even Ed Woodward admitted last week .
That might limit Pogba 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now are reduced to a year ago .
It 's decision time for the club and the 27-year-old .
Nobody can realistically argue Pogba has looked like an £89million midfielder since returning to Old Trafford .
There have been flashes of brilliance , runs of good form , but nowhere near enough consistency .
Yet there is obviously a world-class player in there and the feeling persists that Pogba is a garland to an outstanding team , rather than an influential star who can drag his teammates with him .
Now United look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ direction there is a fascination with seeing him in midfield alongside the excellent Fernandes .
If Pogba has had a u-turn and wants to stay , then the time has come for a new contract to be discussed and signed this summer .
It would represent quite the change of heart , but then Pogba 's options elsewhere are beginning to look limited and he might well be sensing United 's fortunes are beginning to change .
For all that he remains an easy cause for criticism amongst some fans , there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ best midfielders in the world when he 's at his best .
If he wants to stay and commit his future to the club , then there is little debate to be had .
But if Pogba is still set on leaving United , then the options for the club have shrunk .
They should exercise that extra year option in his contract , giving themselves some insurance if a deal proves difficult to do this summer .
By confirming he remains under contract until 2022 United will be setting out their stance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trafford for a bargain for the second time in his career .
Whether United sell this summer or next , if Pogba wants to leave then taking the option in his contract is the obvious next move .
If he suddenly wants to stay , then negotiating a long-term deal is on the table .
The end is in sight for this transfer tango .

Injuries mean it hasn't quite worked out like that. Pogba has played just 662 minutes this season, none since the turn of the year, and recently United have found a formula that is producing points and performances without him, mainly thanks to the contribution of Bruno Fernandes.
