James Rodriguez : Transforming Everton

Normally in the present scenario when Liverpool is mentioned it’s no rocket science to get our mind revolving around Jurgen Klopp’s men who have performed exceptionally during the last couple of years. Well, for now the other not so big club from Liverpool, Everton have also caught the eye of many with their style mainly after the arrival of Colombian talisman, James Rodrigues. It's no secret that Carlio Ancelotti has a soft corner for James and manages to lure him to every club he manages as both had shared the dressing room in Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and now Everton and it is now slowly becoming clear why he rated the 2014 World Cup top goalscorer so highly.

Everton now have a game plan which revolves around James with the midfielder impressing straightaway after arriving from Real Madrid. His curlers, long rangers, exquisite passes all were well known to many and after arriving in Premier League he is impressing even more as he plays more freely away from any burden and it is paying dividends. Not to forget Dominic Calvert Lewin, he has been another vital performer for Everton who has turned the ball into the net almost every time he got the ball in front of the goal. Brazilian Richarlison has also been tremendous and their performances has led them to the top of the table with three wins from three including a win over Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham.

Well only time will tell if they can continue with their present form and if they can finish in the top six. There’s no depth in the team with recent midfield additions, James, Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure. So let’s wait and watch whether the Liverpool minnows can rise again.

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...

VAR: Boon or Bane?

Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place. The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...
