FA Community Shield 2020 : PREVIEW



 
The FA Community Shield marks the beginning of the new season in England. It is a match played at Wembley between the winners of the Premier League and the FA Cup of the previous season. Liverpool steamrolled the Premier League last season while Arsenal capped off a poor season with the FA Cup trophy. They will face off on the 29th of August, with the first title of the season at stake. 


PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR


ARSENAL


Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang




Arsenal’s Gabonese superstar will look to find the back of the net in yet another final. He has been the shining light for Arsenal and has stepped up in big games. At his brilliant best, he is unstoppable. He will look to start the season with a bang.


 

 

 

Kieren Tierney



The Scottish left back was signed last season. His impressive performances at the end of the 19-20 season have made him one of the most consistent players for the Gunners. He has proven to be very solid defensively, somewhat fixing a leaky Arsenal defence. He is decent going forward as well. 


 

 

 

LIVERPOOL


Mohammed Salah



The Egyptian king will be ready to wreak havoc down the left wing. His pace and creativity would be instrumental for Jurgen Klopp’s side. He will surely look to improve on last season, which wasn’t his best season(statistically). He will look to expose the Arsenal defence and add another title to his name.


 

 

 

 

Joe Gomez

 

After Virgil van Dijk’s injury in the pre-season friendly against RB Salsburg, the English centre half will have to assume leadership of the defence(although van Dijk isn’t completely ruled out). Even if the Dutchman is there, Gomez will be pivotal for the Reds as Aubameyang will attack through that channel and he’d have to be on his toes to stop Arsenal’s main man.


PREVIEW


Liverpool are far superior to Arsenal as a unit but the presence of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang will cause problems for the Liverpool defence. Moreover, Liverpool had lost at the Emirates at the end of last season. Although the credibility of the loss is in question as Liverpool had already won the league and were casual in their approach, which resulted in errors. With Rhian Brewster lighting up Liverpool’s pre season camp, he will be a good option off the bench for Liverpool. A cracker of a match awaits us.

History of the FA Community Shield

  Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead.  Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.     While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...

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 ...

Manchester United: Average journey continues

Another new season, another new year where the fallen giants try to revive the good old days of glory. After a dismal 1-3 defeat to Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League campaign, and a largely underwhelming performance against Brighton, where the Red Devils just narrowly scraped through to clinch the win with a 90+10th minute Bruno Fernandes penalty.  But why is this happening? Year after year, Man Utd just doesn't seem to rejuvenate. Here is our opinion of what is lacking in this Manchester United squad and how we feel some changes need to be made earnestly and tactfully.  1. SHAKY DEFENSE Man Utd just can't find the right back line to support the attackers. Yes, last year they conceded 18 fewer goals in the league than the season before, but the defense is far from solid.  Maguire was made captain, but he's no leader. Errors, confusion, and no inspiration.  Maguire centre back partners Lindelof and Bailey are poorly inconsistent, sometimes even n...
