Finishing eight last season was considered a wonderful achievement for Southampton, who showed promising signs of developing into a top half Premier League team, but very few expected them to go even further in 2014/2015. Losing a number of star players and the manager who made them produce eye-catching football was a real indication that the South Coast club had become a victim of their own success. However, Ronald Koeman has done a wonderful job in not only showing shrewd business acumen to bring in new arrivals who have made a real impact, but also take their performance levels to…
After another pulsating north London derby where Spurs emerged victorious over Arsenal, the race for the top four has heated up even more. Just ten points separate 2nd place Manchester City and 7th place Liverpool and after Harry Kane’s double, Spurs fans can be expectant of a top four place for the first time since 2012 if they keep their performances up. Here are the player ratings for the game: TOTTENHAM Hugo Lloris – 6 Couldn’t do anything about Ozil’s excellent finish but other than that, had very little to do but did well when called on to action, saving…
After a summer with European football sidelined and the World Cup taking centre stage, the Premier League is back and ready to kick off again. Opening weekend is only a few days away, beginning the roadmap of a season for every club in the Premier League. For Manchester City, winners of the 2013-2014 season, opening weekend is all about setting the stage to improve their odds of defending their title. For every other team in the league, winning on opening weekend is the chance to show that trades and movements throughout the offseason were smart bets that will pay off…
Fulham 2 – 3 Liverpool It seems that at every single twist and turn, this Premier League season flatly refuses to stick to the script. Liverpool visited Craven Cottage on a storm-wracked February evening just days after ripping a gaping hole in the side of then-league leaders Arsenal’s title challenge with a 5-1 drubbing at Anfield. Meanwhile, Fulham sat rock bottom of the table, in spite of a thrilling 2-2 draw with Manchester United over the weekend. Surely Liverpool would have it all their own way? As a matter of fact, they were lucky to escape with three points in…
Jose Mourinho admits his Chelsea squad isn’t perfect but says he is determined to build towards the future at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese boss returned to West London in the summer, bringing a number of big names in with him such as Andre Schurrle, Willian and Samuel Eto’o but they have at times struggled to gel and suffered their third league defeat of the campaign at Stoke on Saturday. Chelsea are now out to 4/1 with the likes of Paddy Power to win the Premier League. Part of the problem has been down to Mourinho’s inconsistent selection, with him appearing…
David Moyes’ future as Manchester United manager looks increasingly uncertain after another placid display at the weekend saw them drop further away from the title race. Adam Lallana’s 89th minute goal earned Southampton a deserved 1-1 draw at Old Trafford on Saturday, stunning a United crowd so used to watching their side see out games. Since Sir Alex Ferguson left the managerial post, United have suffered a downturn in performances and results, having won just five of 11 in all competitions this campaign, and the pressure on Moyes’ future is now mounting. The former Everton boss admitted there’s a fear…
Everton boss, Roberto Martinez, has allayed fears that Darron Gibson’s season is over after the midfielder damaged his anterior cruciate ligament during the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan. It was originally thought that the 25-year-old former Manchester United star’s injury was so severe that he would be facing a nine-month lay-off, but Martinez is hopeful that Gibson will still have a part to play in Everton’s campaign. The former Swansea City and Wigan Athletic manager said: “I was expecting the worst but after the scans we are really positive now. “It is an anterior cruciate ligament but…
5. Mikel Arteta from Everton to Arsenal – £10million Okay, so you loose Fabregas and Nasri, and realistically you’re Arsene Wenger, what do you do? Well, in his case, he watched his team struggle and lose to Liverpool at home, then watched his team get annihilated by Manchester United 8-2. They needed midfielders. Rosicky is past his best, Song is solid, and the rest are young and shouldn’t be relied on just yet. Frimpong hasn’t got much Premier League experience, and Ramsey has the potential but at the moment the matches have been too tough for him. Arteta is perhaps…
Theo Walcott is still a young player, looking to improve his somewhat raw game, there is no doubt any player in the world would love his electric pace, but to be considered as the next Henry, he is going to have to improve a lot! Walcott has been quoted by the English press in recent days, that he wants a new contract, but would like to play a forward role, and try and emulate what Arsenal legend Thierry Henry did for the club. We have a go at the press sometimes for labelling players up to the next superstar, but…
