Jose Mourinho has figured out what we all already knew

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 12/21/2016

Two weeks ago, Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United were wallowing away in sixth place in the Premier League. They had drawn three straight games, had won just once in their last seven Premier League games, and had drawn four straight home matches, the first time that had happened since the early 90s. Today, United are still […]

Should David Silva’s actions negated Manchester City’s second goal on Arsenal?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 12/20/2016

Raheem Sterling’s goal in the 71st minute got Manchester City three vital points in a 2-1 win against Arsenal. The legitimacy of this goal has been questioned over and over again this week, and, though it was declared onside during the game as well as in review, the debate still rages on. Check it out below: https://my.mixtape.moe/jdcxnj.mp4 So, […]

Does Liverpool have the best chance to catch Chelsea?

0 comments by Randy Capps

Sadio Mane’s stoppage time goal powered Liverpool to a Merseyside Derby win against Everton Monday, and that result kept the Reds within six points of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table. In the face of Chelsea’s brilliance this season — and 11 straight wins can hardly be described any other way — […]

Sadio Mane’s stoppage time goal gives Liverpool 227th Merseyside Derby win

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 12/19/2016

The 227th Merseyside Derby was pretty horrible the first 90 minutes. It was filled with highly physical/borderline dirty play, no shots on target in the first half and a contest where both sides were just swinging from the depths to gain an edge. So in other words, a usual Merseyside Derby. After Everton goalkeeper Maarten […]

Watch: Leroy Sane scores his first Premier League goal to bring City level

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 12/18/2016

Since coming to England during the summer, Leroy Sane hasn’t yet lived up to expectations at Manchester City. The 19-year-old from Essen has been hungry to get his first goal this year. It might have taken longer than he wanted, but early in the second half against Arsenal the former Schalke man opened his account. […]

Watch: Arsenal slice through Manchester City defense like a knife through warm butter

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel

It’s safe to say Manchester City fans are frustrated once again. Sunday’s match with Arsenal had a lot on the line for both teams. Arsenal needed a win to keep any sort of a title race with Chelsea on life support, while City desperately need a win to stay in the top four. Things haven’t […]

On November 30, in an EFL Cup match against West Ham United, Bastian Schweinsteiger stepped onto the field at Old Trafford for the first time since March.

Before Leicester City took on the Sergio Aguero and Fernandinho-less Manchester City in the final match of Saturday’s Premier League action, 28 goals were scored in the five morning contests.

Could Klopp’s greatest asset be his only real weakness?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 12/7/2016

After Liverpool’s defeat to Bournemouth this weekend, many have taken to making the-sky-is-falling type assessments about Jurgen Klopp’s team. The defense is complete crap (partially true), Simon Mignolet should start over Karius because he’s complete crap (false), or that they got complacent (true). The criticisms have targeted everyone from individual players, as shown above, to […]

David Moyes and Tony Pulis are challenging expectations in two different ways

0 comments by Harrison Prolic on 12/5/2016

Expectations can be a tricky thing to handle for managers. At the start of the season, David Moyes attempted to temper expectations on his club saying it wasn’t going to be easy to stay up. Tony Pulis meanwhile has to deal with his reputation as one of the leagues more pragmatic and defensive coaches. As […]

Chelsea win 3-1 over Manchester City as Aguero and Fernandinho simultaneously get sent off

0 comments by Phillip Bupp on 12/3/2016

It would seem that Chelsea was just playing around with Manchester City, giving them hope they could actually win and then when it stopped being funny, go and put three goals on them and have a couple of their players sent off. In a second consecutive week, Chelsea came back from a goal down to […]

Who needs this win more: Chelsea or Manchester City?

0 comments by Jeff Snyder on 12/2/2016

The early game this weekend is going to be massive. Not just because it’s two of the biggest teams in the Premier League. Not just because it’ll have two of the most talented managers in the game tactically sparing for 90+ minutes. Not just because we’ll see some of the biggest names in world soccer […]

In one month’s time, the transfer window will open and teams around the world will spend massive amounts of money to improve their squad. The Premier League, a league with teams with money to burn will likely throw around the most cash. Every team is always looking to improve their squad, but these five teams […]

Why is Jose Mourinho so afraid of making a big move

0 comments by Pauly Kwestel on 11/30/2016

When Manchester United signed Jose Mourinho to be their manager, they thought they were signing a manager who was tactically sharp and ruthless. Someone who would do whatever it takes to win even if that included dropping a club legend from the starting XI or keeping a £26 million signing pinned to the bench. They […]
