Every manager wants the core support from his fans whenever they are up to any game inside the field; it holds even true for mentors who are known for their die hard addiction for the side. Second term serving Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is one such manager who doesn’t mind bashing out anyone coming in between their victory even if he requires yelling over fans. Despite having a dream start in the season, former Everton manager was finding it too hard to overcome QPR in the last match, though they eventually won it, and when fans were also not responding with their gameplay, Portuguese found it even harder to overcome The Hoops. Like any good mentor, he bashed over fans after the game and clearly said, he had expected them to shout louder than what they did in the game which was almost out of their reach at one time. Despite having gained full points out of the game, manager is not taking it as a wholesome victory in tune of what they have until done in the English topflight; hence … [Read more...]

Likewise, Liverpool’s newly joined former Manchester City’s Italian forward Mario Balotelli is finding a ground support from his teammate amid his failed performances in Anfield debut. The 25-year-old forward Daniel Sturridge is possibly the first one after club president who says that Italian top performer is finding it difficult to cope up with the atmosphere in England; perhaps he even calls him unfortunate one for not living up to the expectations on his second English spell.

When you make a switch from one side to another, even if on loan, you are supposed to preform good at least initially so everyone could notice your class and shortlist you for the next transfer window with better perks, but when an aspiring player fails, it hurts to the core not only to the team hiring him but also to the player who does not live up to the expectations. Former Chelsea forward Fernando Torres is one such player who switched on loan to AC Milan one month ago but until could not even debut his scoring chart in the Italian league. It is, however, obvious that he would have been a surplus asset with the Blues that is why they loaned him to another side, yet if he used to be associated with North Londoners; it is expected by Milan fans that he would make a significant impact in the field. Maybe, his age could be the reason but he failed to score in last four appearances for the San Siro side which is making him an unwanted player.

If we are asked to name one player whose entry and exit in and out from the team cause by non-footballing reasons, it would probably be Italian forward Mario Balotelli who has never been a consistent player for any team in last couple of years. He kept changing his teams from Manchester City to Inter Milan and now Liverpool where he is not proving lethal to opponents in any way. However, if we look at his last team, he, indeed been notorious, but proved his worth by scoring at regular interval, but this English spell seems to be carrying a bad luck for him even in the field. Liverpool, who showed its strength in the last season and got the qualification for the Championship league, is not able to carry the similar form either in English or European circuits this season. Unlike last year, they are nowhere among the top five of league table and in CL they are finding it hard to qualify for the next stage.
