In every English premier league season we talk more about the toppers of the leaderboard than those who reside at the bottom, and actually, whoever ends campaign at the bottom is equally mentionable – though for its poor form. Aston Villa is one such side who has been devastating throughout the year and for its insensible display of form in the field, this Villa Park side could only secure a bottom place for itself after they lose another game to Manchester United by 1-0 last night. The game itself has nothing to talk about except Marcus Rashford’s only winner that took his side little bit closer to the top four, though Red Devils have virtually no chance to seal a Championship league qualification. Aston Villa centre-back Joleon Lescott talked about their latest blow to ManU and if they deserved a loss at Old Trafford, he said in an interview after the game, “We knew before the game what we had to do but coming to Old Trafford is never easy no matter what situation you're in. … [Read more...]
Marcus Rashford is not like Cristiano Ronaldo: Louis van Gaal
Every time a young player starts his profession career with good notes, everyone compares him with former greats who have also been associated with the same side during their initials years. If we talk about the ruling forwards of contemporary soccer Cristiano Ronaldo is the one player who first comes to our mind and if we look at his first season, he was grossly successful playing for Manchester United back in 2003-04. Now, when he is a brand name in himself and plays for Real Madrid, ManU still miss him and try to recoup his loss by hiring more and more promising young players every year. The 18-year-old young and talented Englishman Marcus Rashford is the one player who started his career playing for Red Devils this year and impressed everyone with his passing the ball technique and capitalization of available opportunities. He scored six goals out of eleven appearances which is at part with what Ronaldo had scored in his first season playing for the Old Trafford side. AGIF / … [Read more...]
Wenger readies for an aggressive summer transfer window for Arsenal
Although, this English premier league season has grossly been successful for Arsenal, yet many experts are calling it their failure for not winning the league title since they had the best chance to end their long running title drought. In fact, if we look at what team manager Arsene Wenger has to say about the available players and if he can win them any title in upcoming tourneys, surprisingly, this 66-year-old longest serving French manager has, for the first time, accepted Gunners are having lack of good talent who could win them titles in the field. Actually, Wenger issued this statement keeping in mind upcoming summer transfer window and hints how aggressive he is going to be as far signing of new players is concerned. This is a surprising change in Wenger strategy since he was possibly the only manager not to bring any outfield player last summer and if he is changing his mind now, it means, he must be having some serious issues with his players who failed to overcome Tottenham … [Read more...]
It was a brilliant show from Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp
Although, the final lineup of top four sides is almost finalized, yet every match that carries significant change in the typical form of any club attracts everyone’s attention and last Liverpool vs Stoke City premier league showdown was one such affair that proved why Reds are being labeled as a completely transformed side under Jurgen Klopp guidance. Anfield side defeated the visitors by a big 4-1 margin on the board which is their best show this season, although, it will have little impact on their board ranking, even then, German boss seems to be highly impressed with the complete performance of his side. If we scrutinize the game and its contents, Klopp made as many as seven changes to his side - that includes Kevin Stewart and Sheyi Ojo who played their debut Premier League game along with Kolo Toure, Martin Skrtel, Joe Allen, Daniel Sturridge, and Roberto Firmino who also got the opportunity to play in the first team. The aggressive transformation is believed to be Klopp’s trial … [Read more...]
We’re weak in the air: Wenger after West Ham draw
Even though Arsenal has had a comfortable position among the top four in premier league for quite some now, but their performances in last few games have also been deteriorated significantly, i.e., it is just their good luck that Manchester duos are not in their best form else Gunners would have to face an exit from top four for the way they have been playing in last few weeks. Take the example of Saturday premier league game against West Ham where Emirate side was two goals ahead by the half time. This kind of lead at half time is often taken as the sure shot victory but Arsene Wenger’s highly in-form players completely failed to defend their confident edge and drew the game by 3-0, which means, they led hosts score the three goals despite having been under pressure in front of home crowd. The 27-year-old English forward Andy Carroll proved lethal for Wenger side who scored the hat-trick to derail Gunners victory march. Actually, it was mathematically the last chance for Arsenal to … [Read more...]
