As Christensen left the pitch, Liverpool’s substitutes were applauding the decision. But an angry Klopp turned to his players in the stands and said: ‘Are you crazy? We never, ever do that, okay?’ Chelsea were able to get to half-time with...

Premier League
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has eased fears over Kieran Tierney’s injury after the left-back missed the 2-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday. The Scotland international was in line to start the game against the Hammers, but was pulled out at the very last minute due to a ‘muscular discomfort’ and was replaced in the team by Sead Kolasinac. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Tierney’s presence in defence and attack was missed as Arsenal struggled to a narrow 2-1 win against David Moyes’ side.

Tottenham open talks with Jesse Lingard after Mourinho requests transfer

Tottenham open talks with Jesse Lingard after Mourinho requests transfer

Transfer Info, Premier League
Tottenham have reportedly opened talks with Jesse Lingard after Jose Mourinho told Daniel Levy to sign the Manchester United star. Lingard has fallen down the pecking order at the club and even failed to make Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s matchday squad for the 3-1 defeat against Crystal Palace on Saturday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Lingard has spent his entire career at Old Trafford, graduating through United’s academy to play 207 games for the first-team and win the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League. With the England international now frustrated with his lack of game-time at the club, a transfer to Tottenham – to work under Mourinho – may appeal. According to ESPN, Mourinho wants to welcome Lingard to north London and has told Tottenham chairman Danie...
Solskjaer is protecting his players too much, Patrice Evra slams Man Utd boss

Solskjaer is protecting his players too much, Patrice Evra slams Man Utd boss

Premier League
Manchester United suffered a 3-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday and Patrice Evra feels Solskjaer is protecting his players too much. United fell behind to an early goal by Andros Townsend before Wilfried Zaha doubled the lead for Palace. Donny Van de Beek came off the bench to score, but a second Zaha goal finished the scoring. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); And, there were question marks over Solskjaer’s starting lineup, with Daniel James starting ahead of Mason Greenwood and Fosu-Mensah playing at right-back instead of Wan-Bissaka. But, it was Van de Beek’s omission from the team which Evra feels was a huge mistake and Solskjaer should have been more willing to take a risk on the midfielder. The game was Crystal Palace's second of the ...
Zidane gives brutally honest comments On Gareth Bale’s move to Tottenham

Zidane gives brutally honest comments On Gareth Bale’s move to Tottenham

La Liga, Premier League
Zinedine Zidane has given his thoughts on Gareth Bale's move to Tottenham on a season-long loan. The French manager hasn't ever had the best relationship with the forward and it shows with his reaction to the transfer. The Welshman fell out with his Zidane last campaign and was frozen out of the team, starting onlya game since March, and their relationship became very frosty. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); That breakdown saw Bale seek a move away from the club, with Real Madrid agreeing a loan deal with Tottenham that will see the La Liga giants pay a large proportion of his wages. Zidane was influential in Real signing Bale back in 2013 and, despite their recent friction, was quick to highlight the massive role the 31-year-old has played at the club b...

Neville lambasts ‘weak’ Lindelof & tells Man Utd to sign replacement

Premier League
Gary Neville has slammed Manchester United’s poor defending against Crystal Palace, calling Victor Lindelof ‘weak’, and says they must sign a new centre-back as soon. United made a disappointing start to the new Premier League campaign, with Palace taking an early lead through Andros Townsend on Saturday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A penalty and retake, saw Wilfried Zaha double Palace's lead and, despite Donny van de Beek getting one back for the Red devils, Zaha added a third for his club late on to seal a 3-1 win. Palace’s pacey attack looked devastating on the counter but Neville was unhappy with the defense and does not believes a partnership of Lindelof and Harry Maguire is good enough, saying they have no chance of winning the title unless they...

Van de Beek blasts Man Utd teammates after defeat to Crystal Palace

Premier League
Donny Van de Beek scored a goal on his Manchester United debut but was left disappointed as they were beaten 3-1 by Crystal Palace in a display he described as ‘not good enough’. The midfielder came off the bench in the 67th minute and scored 13 minutes later, but the goal was not enough to rescue the Red devils from being 2-0 and then 3-1 down. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It was a very poor performance from the United as they were outplayed by the Eagles, who secured three points with a goal from Andros Townsend and a brace from Wilfried Zaha. Van de Beek felt the tempo of the game was too slow and the team performance was totally unacceptable, having played only over 20 minutes of the game. ‘That was not good enough today,’ Van de Beek told MUTV....

Solskjaer names five ‘top personalities’ he’s ‘added’ to the team

Premier League
Solskjaer claims Manchester United may be able to catch Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League title chase thanks to ‘adding some top personalities’ to the team. United begin their Premier League season with a game against Crystal Palace on Saturday as they aim to improve on their third place finish last campaign. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Red devils have just one major signing so far this summer, but Solskjaer believe the team has been further strengthened by the return of Dean Henderson, the return from injury of Pogba and Bailly with the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January. The Norwegian manager believes these plusses could be enough to see his team overhaul the two clubs that finished above them last campaign. ‘The next s...
