5 Major Impact Signings

The season was much longer than expected and with the conclusion of the Champions

league we now look forward to the next season with bated breath. Before moving too forward,

 let’s have a look at the players who impressed straightaway in their debut season. 

 

  1. Bruno Fernandes

His inclusion in this list was never in doubt, given his outstanding performance ever since

he placed his foot on the Premier League. Manchester United were at 5th place compared 

to Leicester’s second and 14 points separated them when Bruno had arrived, fresh from his

consistent exploits at Sporting Lisbon and now he has propelled them to 3rd place leapfrogging

Leicester who finished at 5th. Be it banging goals or creating them, his involvement and dedication

 to the game was the highest and indeed brought out the best from his teammates.

 

  1. Erling Braut Haaland

At some point or the other, he made us believe that goalscoring was a piece of cake for him.

 Goals came thick and fast for the tall Norweigan. The teenager rose to fame in the Champions

 League scoring goals at will against top clubs and has never looked back since after joining Borussia

 Dortmund. His flabbergasting stat of 13 goals and 2 assists in 11 starts is insane which brought

 Dortmund hopes of bringing the title home but it seems Bayern were too hot for them.

 

  1. Danny Ings

He maybe a Liverpool reject who managed a mere 14 appearances in three seasons but

delivered more than enough for the Saints’ and was just one goal shy of the Golden Boot, which

was grabbed by Jamie Vardy for his 23 goals in his first permanent season at Southampton after

spending the previous campaign on loan. A consistent performer throughout, he was the sole reason

behind Southampton’s success in the Premier League.

 

  1. Christian Pulisic

 A vital cog in Frank Lampard’s Chelsea, Pulisic delivered when his team  needed him

 the most. Though injuries forced him out for quite some time, he never failed to impress with

 his top notch dribbling and finishing skills.He was even better than Hazard when he first arrived

 at Chelsea. Pulisic managed 10 goals and 19 assists while Hazard scored 13 goals and same

 number of assists although he played 29 more matches,staggering!  One of the many young

 bright prospects of Chelsea, he surely will be a key member to Chelsea’s future hopes.

 

  1. Romelu Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku was given marching orders by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer which turned out

to be a blessing in disguise for the big Belgian. He, alongwith Argentine sensation Lautaro

Martinez combined to form one of the most lethal strike forces in Europe. A treat to watch on

his day, he was consistent throughout and is the third highest scorer falling behind only the likes

of Ciro Immobile and Cristiano Ronaldo. Antonio Conte took the best out of him and this turned out

to be the best season of his professional career. 

 

Special Mention

 

 6.Aaron Wan Bissaka

One of the most consistent performers in this reignited Manchester United squad, 

his contribution is way ahead of anyone in his team,defensively. This young 22 year

old full back holds the record for the most number of tackles and blocks in the Premier League. 

He settled in no time after coming from Crystal Palace and was the go to man who helped in

 fixing the leaky defence which in turn helped them to secure a place in the Champions League.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe.  The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...
