Can Sunderland cope without midfield lynchpin Ndong during AFCON 2017?

They may still be third bottom, but Sunderland are actually playing relatively well at the moment. Not for the first time, they are left reflecting on what might have been had they actually turned up in the first two months of the campaign. If the season had begun on November 1st, David Moyes’...

Does Ozil deserve criticism for role in Arsenal loss to City?

There could be few things more Arsenal than getting through a difficult November, looking as though they might actually be able to challenge for the title, and then losing two games in a row in which they’d taken the lead. And there could be few things more predictable than the fact that in de...

The Expert: Have Everton sufficiently improved under Koeman?

How long does a manager have? Patience is in short supply in modern football. The year or two that a Don Revie or a Brian Clough were granted to turn their clubs around - let alone the five Sir Alex Ferguson was allowed - is a distant memory and the demand is always for instant success. Whether that...

Are Bravo and Karius as bad as they have seemed?

It was a mixed weekend for high-profile goalkeepers in the Premier League. Although Thibaut Courtois made a number of fine saves and David De Gea made a startling block from Kevin Mirallas, both Claudio Bravo and Loris Karius were partly responsible for their defeats.With Bravo, of course, this is p...

Can Arsenal regularly rely on Alexis to bail them out of danger?

Arsenal’s victory over Bournemouth on Sunday maintained their very strange recent form. They may be unbeaten in 19 games but they’ve been distinctly unconvincing in at least half of those. In the end, a 3-1 victory may look comfortable enough, but from the moment Mathieu Debuchy went off...

The Expert: Anichebe & Sunderland giving one another a second chance

When Sunderland picked up Victor Anichebe on a free transfer at the beginning of September, it seemed a move born of desperation. Sunderland desperately needed a striker as back-up for Jermain Defoe and Anichebe desperately needed a club having been released by West Bromwich Albion following a seaso...

The Expert: How big a loss will Mane be to Liverpool in January?

Liverpool top of the Premier League table having scored four more goals (30) than anybody else this season. They’ve been exhilarating to watch so far, the sheer pace and energy with which they attack seeming at times overwhelming. With no European football to distract or weary them, there can ...

The Expert: Is Coutinho the Premier League's best player?

There was a time in the early eighties, when the suspicion was that physical attributes were becoming more important in football than the technical or the creative, that Hans-Pieter Briegel was held up as the future of the game. He was a former decathlete, a muscular and powerful full-back, and, whi...

The Expert: Is Moses proving to be Chelsea's perfect wing-back?

Football has become a game predicated on transfers. Whatever the problem, the solution is almost always to sign a player or two. Struggling managers always just need another window or two to turn things around. Buying and selling players, the eternal swirl of trade, is such a dominant mode of though...

The Expert: Could this Sunderland side be worse than last season's Villa?

The Expert: Could this Sunderland side be worse than last season's Villa?

Sunderland are used to things being bad at this stage of the season but they’ve never been quite this bad. Nine games in they’re bottom of the table, having picked up just two points and failed to keep any clean sheets. Worse than that, there’s a sense of inevitable drift about the...
