Midtable Premier League teams should be taking the FA Cup more seriously

Maybe it’s because I support a club that not only values the FA Cup but has won it more than anyone else. Or maybe it’s because it was the first trophy said club won after I started supporting them. Or maybe it’s because in the last 10 years, not only have Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, […]

Bob Bradley’s firing by Swansea City was warranted, but the experience was essential

The Bob Bradley era at Swansea City is over. The American manager lasted 11 games and a little over two months as he was unable to improve Swansea just days before the January transfer window. The amount of blame on how Swansea has performed can go around to just about everyone involved. But regardless of Bob […]

Jose Mourinho has figured out what we all already knew

Two weeks ago, Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United were wallowing away in sixth place in the Premier League.

Today, United are still […]

Why is Jose Mourinho so afraid of making a big move

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 […]

After only thirteen games, a large gap is beginning to grow between the top four and the rest of the league. Presently, Arsenal and Tottenham, 4th and 5th respectively, are separated by four points.

Is parking the bus the best way to take on Liverpool?

This past weekend, Liverpool dominated Southampton. With 65% of the possession and 15 total shots, Liverpool pressed against Southampton in a way that lead former Bayern Munich midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg to declare that Liverpool was the best he has ever faced. And yet, despite all of that, the score ended 0-0 and the two teams […]
