The Expert: Why Man City shouldn't be troubled by winless run

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, ott 17 2016 16:31
The Expert: Why Man City shouldn't be troubled by winless run After Saturday’s draw against Everton, Pep Guardiola admitted that there was a danger his players would lack confidence before Wednesday’s trip to Barcelona. It was an unusual admission, one that was greeted with a sense of surprise in the press-room – managers almost never acknowl...

England's lion's share of possession a detriment to development

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, ott 10 2016 10:50
England's lion's share of possession a detriment to development One of the problems the Champions League has is that the gulf in class between the best and the worst is so great. Unless the draw is cruel, a Bayern Munich or a Barcelona sweeps through the autumn, barely extending itself before they get to the quarter-final in spring, when they find themselves pla...

Spurs learn lesson from Celtic to prove City are far from faultless

Spurs learn lesson from Celtic to prove City are far from faultless Who would have thought it would be Brendan Rodgers who showed the way? That Manchester City had struggled to defend this season had seemed a quirk. After all, it hardly mattered that they had kept only one clean sheet in the league all season when they were averaging three goals a game. But what Cel...

Walcott starting to prove he's not a lost cause at Arsenal Towards the end of last season, the thought grew that Theo Walcott might be best served leaving Arsenal. He was 27 and one year into a four-year deal but there was a sense he had lost his way. This season, he has started every league game so far and his goal in the 3-0 demolition of Chelsea was his ...

Lack of Fluidity Results in Concerning Start to United's Season

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, set 19 2016 12:15
Lack of Fluidity Results in Concerning Start to United's Season Three defeats in a row, in the same season, for Jose Mourinho for the first time in 14 years; three defeats for Manchester United for the first time since last December, which says a lot about their struggles since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. Just as tellingly, two of the three defeats Mouri...

Derby Defeat Magnified Doubts of Rooney & Pogba Roles for United

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, set 12 2016 13:05
Derby Defeat Magnified Doubts of Rooney & Pogba Roles for United There will come a day when Wayne Rooney ceases to lie at the heart of every tactical conversation, when his performance is not the main issue before and after every game, but it is not here yet. He didn’t play especially well on Saturday in the Manchester Derby, but in a sense his ineffectiven...

England Up and Running as Big Sam Gets the Job Done

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, set 5 2016 10:05
England Up and Running as Big Sam Gets the Job Done It’s rare in international football for two teams to meet twice in the space of just over two months (unless they’re Ireland and Oman, in which case they seem to be playing each other every week or so), but England’s game in Slovakia offered an immediate chance to compare the brave...

Sterling Back on the Up Following Stagnant Season

by Jonathan Wilson at martedì, ago 30 2016 10:30
Sterling Back on the Up Following Stagnant Season With Manchester City leading West Ham United 2-1 on Sunday, David Silva pushed the ball outside him for Raheem Sterling, who was left with just Adrian to beat. It wasn’t a simple finish by any means, but his strange drag wide of the near post came as a reminder of the unconfident Sterling of l...

Quick Benteke Start Would Provide Timely Boost for Palace

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, ago 22 2016 11:00
Quick Benteke Start Would Provide Timely Boost for Palace Alan Pardew’s frustration was obvious. Crystal Palace had played well at Tottenham, disciplined in the first half and more threatening in the second and, in the end, they’d been undone by a set-play before which they’d been forced into a substitution. In many ways there was much fo...

Making Sense of Guardiola's Decision to Drop Joe Hart

by Jonathan Wilson at lunedì, ago 15 2016 17:35
Making Sense of Guardiola's Decision to Drop Joe Hart After a fairly pedestrian 2-1 win over Sunderland on Saturday, the Guardiolafication of Manchester City goes on. Other than the use of the two full-backs to push into central midfield when in possession, and the deployment of Aleksandr Kolarov as a centre-back, the most striking aspect of the side s...
