Is it time for Liverpool to be taken seriously in the Premier League?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 9/21/2016

This Premier League season has been filled with drama and excitement already. One team that has had the most impressive start of the season is Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Many have said that this year is a bit too soon for them, that they simply don’t have the fire power and defensive steel to compete with […]

Ronald Koeman is looking like the perfect hire for Everton

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 9/20/2016

Everton has long been a club that feels they should aspire to be more than a mediocre mid-table team. When they finished 11th last season it was considered an awful year. The club cut ties with manager Roberto Martinez on May 12, 2016, one game before the season ended. Everton was in 12th when Martinez […]

West Ham’s first season at the Olympic Stadium has not been a happy homecoming

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 9/19/2016

West Ham United supporters must feel like the Olympic Stadium is in a foreign country rather than their home ground. The Hammers have managed only four points of their opening five league matches. They even fell out of the Europa League in the qualification stage, losing to Romanian side Astra Giurgiu. European football was supposed to be […]

The decision to keep Anthony Martial in with concussion symptoms doomed Manchester United

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

Manchester United struggled to keep up with Watford and Watford ended up winning 3-1. At around the 30 minute mark, Anthony Martial clashed heads going for a ball and went down. Despite going through some concussion tests, Manchester United kept Martial in and minutes later, gave up possession to Miguel Britos and led to Etienne […]

WATCH: Kevin de Bruyne’s free kick goes under the wall to score for Manchester City

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 9/17/2016

A free kick that’s kicked on the ground is very rare. Like a panenka on a penalty kick, it looks beautiful when it’s done right and looks horrific if it doesn’t. For Manchester City, his choice of shooting underneath the Bournemouth wall worked. And as the players jumped, the ball trickled into the back of […]

WATCH: Jordan Henderson’s perfect golazo doubles Liverpool’s lead

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 9/16/2016

If you thought Dejan Lovren scored the goal of the match, Jordan Henderson has got the goal of the early season. After a poor Chelsea clearance off a Liverpool throw in, the ball fell to the Liverpool captain and from about 25 yards out, drilled one of the most perfect shots you’re going to be […]

WATCH: Dejan Lovren left wide open and his beautiful finish gives Liverpool lead

0 comments by Phillip Bupp

Of everyone on this high attacking Liverpool side, the last person you would expect to see on the scoresheet would be Dejan Lovren. But in a moment, the center back became a striker and found himself wide open to score on a terrific volley on the far post from Philippe Coutinho’s pin perfect long pass. […]

Raheem Sterling entering critical year at Manchester City

0 comments by Randy Capps

If you ask his critics, Raheem Sterling had the world on a string before his roughly $62 million move from Liverpool to Manchester City last summer. At just 20 years old, he was the future of the English national team. He had just turned in his second strong season for the Reds, and he looked […]

Will the top six be closer than ever this Premier League season?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 9/15/2016

This year, the Premier League promises to be more competitive than ever. That is quite the statement, considering what happened in the 2015/16 season. Without a doubt, though, the top six will be closer than ever before in the 2016/17 Premier League season. Why are we looking at the top six, instead of the top […]

Sadio Mane is on his way to becoming a bargain for Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp

0 comments by Harrison Prolic

For no small fee, Liverpool acquired the services of Sadio Mane this summer. The speedy winger set the Reds back £34 million. After a month at his new club, the 24-year-old from Senegal is starting to look like a bargain. First impressions are important and Mane made a great one this year with Liverpool. The […]

After four PL matches, would you change your preseason predictions?

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 9/12/2016

Making preseason predictions in the Premier League is admittedly a bit absurd. Not only are you most likely to be wrong anyway, but you have to make these predictions knowing that every team was still going to buy and sell players before the end of the transfer window. But despite all that, everyone makes predictions […]

What did we learn from the Manchester Derby

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel

I believe in transparency, which is why in an effort for full transparency I should disclose right at the beginning of this post that I am a Manchester United fan. A very big one actually. Now, let me start off by saying Manchester City are a very good team. Better then I thought they would […]

WATCH: Diego Costa’s bicycle kick preserves Chelsea draw against Swansea

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 9/11/2016

Well this was something and a half. Diego Costa had a very Diego Costa game. He scored a couple goals, he dove a couple times to great effect and he got fouled a couple times. But his second goal may have been the best thing of all. An argument could have been made to disallow […]

WATCH: Laurent Koscielny’s overhead kick makes Arsenal level

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 9/10/2016

Not a bad way to celebrate your birthday. Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny saved one of his best goals for his 31st birthday as his overhead kick in the 29th minute put Arsenal level 1-1 with Southampton. This was welcome news for Arsenal after goalkeeper Petr Cech had an unfortunate own goal off a bad bounce. Arsenal […]

Watch: Claudio Bravo’s howler set up Zlatan Ibrahimovic goal

0 comments by Harrison Prolic

Manchester United pulled within one late in the first half when Claudio Bravo misjudged a set piece and allowed Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score in his Manchester Derby debut. The Spanish keeper, who was brought in to fit Pep Guardiola’s system a little better, made a mess of a set piece and allowed United an avenue […]
