The injuries, fatigue, tiredness, the lack of financial backing from management, loss of form suffered by players and so on. To justify Liverpool's current failure and the manager's inability to get the best out of the player, you could pick up a lot of excuses.  Jurgen Klopp's fisting pumping parade has ended, now he begs for mercy over his team's catastrophic display which sadly has become a norm this season. How did it change, you can ask?  Well, Sadio Mane has left. Most of Liverpool's games have been architected by a Senegalese. His aggressive press, fantastic dribbling skills, vision to pick out Mohamed Salah in good position and off course, his goal has alluded Liverpool this season.  Without him drifting in and out of the left flank and most times centrally, it has subdued Andrew Robertson from going forward and putting in those crosses. Jurgen Klopp bears much of the blame for Mane's unfortunate departure. Shamefully, the manager fought hard to improve ...

Another game, another defeat, a fate Graham Potter is desperately trying to avoid. But why the chaotic scenes at Chelsea, a club labelled by many as the best team in London over the past 20 years and currently, the only club in that area of London who have won the Champions League.  It's easy to blame the manager, his coaching staffs or even one or two players for the misfortune of the team. But the truth has to be told, Chelsea's problem is a collective one not a personal one. Nobody should be blamed for it.  Here are the five reasons why Chelsea are struggling:  1. Injury to top players-  This season have been really tough for Potter and his team. The club are currently nursing 10 players back to fitness. The manager is forced to play players who were mainly set aside for Caraboa or FA Cup matches.  2. Tactical maneuver and adaptability-  Potter system requires a lot of tactical awareness, pressing, good passing rhythm and off course defending. Chelsea's ...

21 goals in 16 game, Erling Haaland is banging in the goals from all corners and breaking old records. But come to think of it, that could've been Cristiano Ronaldo. The striker Pep Guardiola really wanted to lead his attacking lines two seasons ago.  Guardiola knows Ronaldo's prowess in front of goal and felt his phenomenal abilities will suit Manchester City perfectly.  Ronaldo won't have to press form the front, join the team in counter press or even drop deep like Firmino's or Harry Kane's to orchestrate the tempo of the game from the middle.  All he had to do was stay upfront and finish off the move.  De Bruyne, Mahrez, Silva, Grealish, Foden's and other creative players will find him with killer passes to score. He would've been contesting for the Ballon d'Or and not giving out endlessly interviews.  But to choose to call Sir Alex Ferguson who will certainly say no! Ronaldo ended what would've an era defining career. All he had to do was shut u...

For the past five seasons, the Premier League title have been won by either Manchester City or Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool. Most fervent fans have presumed the league will become a two horse race but thanks to Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, the league tittle will going to London and not Manchester or Merseyside.  At the moment, the Gunners are on top of the Premier League table with 40 points after 15 games. They're 8 points from City and a massive 15 points from 6th placed Liverpool.  Doubting their potential to be league champions will be ill-advised at the moment cause Mikel Arteta's team is really fighting hard to prove their doubters wrong.  But judging from history, Arsenal do have the tendency to lose focus when the games come thick and fast just like in the 2015/2016 season when they lost the league title to Leicester City.  No disrespect to Leicester City but Arsenal were the far better team that year but some how, they found a way to bottle it when it really matters....

 After a month of thrilling World Cup matches, Premier League football has been brought back to life. The glamour, passion and incredible comeback of most football teams at this tournament has been entertaining to fans from all over the world.  With Lionel Messi lifting the trophy for the first time and probably the last time, Argentina could have won the World Cup, but can Arsenal really replicate it? Is it really possible that they can beat Manchester City and the resurgence of Liverpool for the league title? After getting some breathing space on the back end of the season as a result of the World Cup, Liverpool gears up to win it all. The Reds played 68 games with three finals last season. Most of these matches were played by players such as Van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander Arnold, Mo Salah and Firmino.  Now rested and fully recovered from last season's burn out, Liverpool are now ready to challenge Arsenal who are hoping to end their 18 years wait to win th...
