Team Focus: Desperate Lack of Ambition Leaves Stagnating Newcastle Stuck in Mid-Table

by Alistair Tweedale at пятница, фев 6 2015 11:56
Team Focus: Desperate Lack of Ambition Leaves Stagnating Newcastle Stuck in Mid-Table Is there a football club at which the disparity between the ambitions of the fans and the club’s hierarchy is greater than Newcastle at present? Their supporters always want what is best for the club, and even if that was manifested all too toxically when the ‘Sack Pardew’ campaign...

Team Focus: Assessing the Premier League Relegation Run-in

by Alistair Tweedale at среда, фев 4 2015 10:56
Team Focus: Assessing the Premier League Relegation Run-in At this stage of the season the Premier League table has rather satisfyingly split into three sections: the big-hitting European hopefuls in the top 8, the no-hopers in mid-table - lacking in ambition and almost certain to end the season drifting aimlessly amidst mediocrity - and the precariously pl...

Player Focus: Transfer Rumour Round-Up - Day 27 Franck TabanouIf what it takes to get truly noticed by the Premier League is a wondergoal, then Swansea’s reported interest in Franck Tabanou makes perfect sense. The left-back struck an extra-time volley from 25 yards into the top corner of the Nancy goal to win a Coupe de France tie just aft...

Player Focus: Prevailing Inconsistency Preventing Oscar’s Rise to the Top

Player Focus: Prevailing Inconsistency Preventing Oscar’s Rise to the Top It is difficult to disagree with Jose Mourinho's assertion that his Chelsea side had put on the “perfect game” to beat Swansea so convincingly at the weekend. Everything clicked for them, perhaps even more perfectly than before in what has thus far been a vastly successful season for the...

Match Report: Blades Blunt Spurs to Keep League Cup Tie in the Balance

by Alistair Tweedale at четверг, янв 22 2015 10:25
Match Report: Blades Blunt Spurs to Keep League Cup Tie in the Balance The Capital One Cup semi final draw had been kind to Tottenham. They have had poor records against both Liverpool and Chelsea in recent times, so to be paired with League One Sheffield United left fans expected a smooth route to the final. Perpetual giant-killers United, however, certainly didn't ma...

Player Focus: Excelling Saints Scholar Ward-Prowse Playing Underrated Role

Player Focus: Excelling Saints Scholar Ward-Prowse Playing Underrated Role If the exodus at Southampton this summer was meant to provide any positives for the club, it was the increased opportunities that would arise for yet more graduates of their incredible academy. Millions of pounds came and went as the squad was thoroughly overturned, and despite plenty of doubt about...

Player Focus: Consistency Paying Dividends for the Premier League's Best CB Combinations

by Alistair Tweedale at среда, янв 14 2015 17:22
Player Focus: Consistency Paying Dividends for the Premier League's Best CB Combinations On the face of it alone, it is difficult to know what to make of the fact that 98 different starting centre-back combinations have been used in the Premier League this season. It certainly sounds like a lot, at first glance. 21 gameweeks of 10 games is 210 matches thus far, so that means 420 separat...

Player Focus: Should Pulis' First Act Be to Cash in on Saido Berahino?

by Alistair Tweedale at среда, янв 7 2015 16:41
Player Focus: Should Pulis' First Act Be to Cash in on Saido Berahino? The pace at which hype and rumours gather speed in the world of football rather gives it something of a mob mentality feel. Fans quickly get ahead of themselves when a player starts to show signs of life. Peers hear of some imminent deal, games of Chinese whispers ensue and before you know it, fan f...

League Focus: Should English Football be Open to a More Direct Approach?

by Alistair Tweedale at среда, дек 17 2014 17:21
League Focus: Should English Football be Open to a More Direct Approach? Tony Pulis’ name has more or less become synonymous with a style of football widely maligned in this country. Few children will aspire to be players that thrive in his teams and fewer still fans will yearn for their club to play his kind of football. He was thought to have reached a ceiling at...

Team Focus: West Ham Reaping Rewards of Pragmatic Allardyce’s Versatility

by Alistair Tweedale at четверг, дек 11 2014 15:14
Team Focus: West Ham Reaping Rewards of Pragmatic Allardyce’s Versatility Sam Allardyce has always gone by the nickname ‘Big Sam’; the thought of him being known as anything else almost seems perverse. To say that he might indeed be given a new pseudonym isn’t for a second to imply that he is not a big person and a big character, anything but. The point ...
