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 […]

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 […]

Watch: Kevin De Bruyne opens the scoring for City in the Manchester Derby

0 comments by Harrison Prolic

Manchester City drew first blood in the Manchester Derby when Kevin De Bruyne opened the scoring on 15 minutes. City had dominated the early portion of today’s Derby, and De Bruyne’s goal punctuated that fact. Ironically the goal was set up by a long ball from deep in City’s own end. The buildup play completely bypassed […]

Saturday, the Manchester Derby will be played and the storylines will undoubtedly belong to the two coaches who renew a long rivalry. But on the field will be the first time in years that a game between the two Manchester teams where three points, either way, could swing the title race later in the season. […]

Who are the best forgotten teams of the Premier League in this century

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel

Since the turn of the century the Premier League has had some truly remarkable teams. We all remember Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ or Jose Mourinho’s first Chelsea team that set a record for most points in a season. How about Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team that won the league and Champions League in 2008? But there […]

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 9/1/2016

With the transfer window closing yesterday, it is finally safe to sit back and look over the months of transfer news and speculation to see who had the best and worst windows. For evaluation purposes, we used a few metrics to decide winners and losers. These categories were: the state of the squad, immediate impact, long […]
