Currently sat 11 points behind leaders Tottenham with five losses in their first 10 games, Man United manager, Erik ten Hag, finds himself under incredible pressure at present.

Compare and contrast his position with that of Ange Postecoglou, who has taken over the reins at Spurs and turned them into one of the best teams in the division.

Coming from Celtic, it’s not unfair to suggest that not much was expected of the Australian in his first season in the Premier League, so just how well Tottenham are playing has probably shut a few mouths.

Another former Celtic employee, Chris Sutton, speaking on the All Kicking Off podcast, was unequivocal when asked who should replace ten Hag should the Dutchman be sacked by the Red Devils.

“Big Ange,” was the immediate response, before he went on to discuss why.

Video: “I miss him a lot” – Liverpool assistant manager says top player will not be returning soon

Darren Looney — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 15:31:22 +0000

Liverpool fans are yet to see Thiago Alcantara in action this season and Anfield will have to wait a while longer as the Spaniard won’t return anytime soon.

Thiago has been absent from Jurgen Klopp’s squad since May when he underwent surgery to address a persistent hip issue, with his last appearance in the starting lineup coming back in February during the 3-0 Premier League loss to Wolves

Liverpool assistant manager, Pep Ljinders, said during his press conference on Tuesday that he misses the 32-year-old but he won’t be back in action for some time.

“We miss Thiago, I have to say. I miss him a lot,” the Dutch coach stated.

“Can you imagine, our midfield, our new players, everyone is speaking about them, then have Thiago Alcantara in the middle as well? Guiding the others with his experience.

“It will take time. He will not be available.”

Video: “Major blunder” – Agbonlahor rips Palace man for his comments after Tottenham game

Jason Pettigrove — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 12:19:10 +0000

Crystal Palace manager, Roy Hodgson, has been torn off a strip by talkSPORT pundit, Gabby Agbonlahor, relating to the 76-year-old’s post-match interview after the Tottenham game at the weekend.

The Eagles were unable to stop Ange Postecoglou’s side from taking all three points and go five points clear ahead of the rest of the weekend’s matches, and Hodgson wasn’t impressed with his young substitutes.

“There was no disappointment today. Although, maybe the young substitutes — who we like to think we can believe in and help us to a different level — didn’t show that,” Hodgson had said, quoted by the Evening Standard.

“They didn’t do anything for us at all, really. We became much weaker when I made the substitutions.”

That clearly didn’t sit well with Agbonlahor who ranted about it and questioned Hodgson’s motivational tactics live on the radio.

“I don’t like it one bit. I was watching the game as well. I was watching Will Hughes and I’m seeing nothing. I was watching Edouard, who’s been decent this season, didn’t show anything,” he said.

“To hammer three young lads who have come on… they’re inexperienced. You can’t blame that result on those three young lads who come on. 17 appearances between them. They’re still new to this big time football.

“What about the players you had on? Your experienced players? They done nothing all game. Spurs found it easy for me. Roy Hodgson, it’s a major blunder hammering these three young lads.

“In this game now, you’ve got to support these young lads. He should apologise to all three. If I’m their agents, I’m going in to the owner Steve Parish and saying, what’s going on here? You don’t batter young players like that.”

? “I don’t like it one bit.”

? “It’s a major blunder from Hodgson. We’ve got to protect the young lads.”

? “He should apologise to all three.”

Video: French fans chant “Mbappe” and boo Premier League star at Ballon d’Or ceremony

Darren Looney — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 19:04:21 +0000

French fans have not forgotten the actions of Aston Villa star Emi Martinez following Argentina’s World Cup win over France last December.

The goalkeeper held a baby doll with a picture of Mbappe’s face stuck to it during the World Cup winners parade in Argentina after the tournament and people in France made their feelings clear on the red carpet of the Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday night in Paris.

As Martinez arrived, the Villa star had the name “Mbappe” chanted at him whilst others were heard booing.

The goalkeeper didn’t react to his reception as he took photos on his way into the ceremony.

(Video) Simon Jordan makes surprise Chelsea and Pochettino prediction

Andrew Walker — Mon, 30 Oct 2023 15:15:34 +0000

Pundit and former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan firmly believes that Chelsea will win the Premier League title within the next few years.

Since Todd Boehly succeeded former owner Roman Abramovich in May last year, the American business tycoon, across three windows, has spent an eye-watering £940 million on transfers with notable signings including Mykhailo Mudryk for £88.5 million and Enzo Fernandez for £106.8 million.

However, despite the club’s huge spending, last season saw the side finish 12th. They have also managed just three wins from their first 10 games this term. Irrespective of their poor form since Boehly’s takeover though, Jordan is backing the Blues to soon lift the country’s most prestigious title.

Video: Unselfish Haaland turns provider as he sets up Foden for City’s third

Mehdi Gokal — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 17:58:10 +0000

Erling Haaland had yet another brilliant game against rivals Manchester United as he scored two and assisted one to win 3-0 at Old Trafford.

His first came from the spot and second was a brilliantly guided header past Onana. He had a chance to complete his hat-trick later in the game but decided to pass it to Foden instead.

Rodri’s shot from the edge of the box was saved by Onana but the ball fell to the Norwegian on the rebound. Instead of going for goal, he passed it expertly to Foden who tapped it in to make it 3.

Erling Haaland has scored his second goal of the game with a brilliant header past Andre Onana.

Just before half-time, his headed effort from a very similar play was stunningly saved by the goalkeeper.

But he made no mistake the second time. 4 minutes into the second half, City attacked with in a very similar manner. And it was Bernando Silva once again who put in a teasing delivery at the back post and this time Haaland made no mistake as he guided the header past Onana to make it 2-0.

Andre Onana produced one of the saves of the season to deny Haaland from close range just before half-time.

Following a great save by Ederson to keep out Scott McTominay’s effort at the other end, Haaland had the opportunity to double City’s lead just two minutes later.

Bernando Silva put in a delightful delivery towards the back post where Haaland was waiting to head in but his headed effort was saved by a flying stop from the former Inter Milan keeper.

Erling Haaland has given Manchester City the lead from the spot in the Manchester Derby.

United striker Rasmus Hojlund seemed to have his arm at Rodri inside the box during the set-piece but was it enough for the midfielder to go down the way he did is questionable.

Regardless, the Norwegian stepped up and expertly scored past Onana to give City the lead at Old Trafford.

Video: Mo Salah gets his inevitable goal after a terrible howler from Nottingham Forest keeper

Mo Salah capitalises on a terrible howler from Turner to give Liverpool a 3-0 lead over Nottingham Forest.

Szoboszlai started the counter attack with a pass for Salah from near his own penalty box. The cross was just slight ahead of Salah but the goalkeeper completely misjudged the bounce on the ball as it went over him giving Salah the opportunity to aim at an open goal.

The Liverpool superstar made no mistake as he passed the ball into the back of the net from outside the box.
