Everton VS Liverpool, Merseyside Derby : Preview


It’s time for the Merseyside Derby and never before, atleast in the recent past, has this match been so highly anticipated as a top of the table clash. The last time Everton got one over their neighbours was in 2010. Liverpool are unbeaten against Everton in their last 22 meetings. At Goodison Park, 7 of their last 8 meetings have ended in draws. But, times have changed. Liverpool have just won the Premier League and at the start of the new season, Everton occupy pole position in the League table.


Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Alission is currently injured, and that is bad news for the reds. Adrian deputized well in the Super Cup last season, but after that, he has been abysmal. In the recent 7-2 drubbing at the hands of Aston Villa(Yes 7-2!!!) Adrian made such mistakes, which a Premier League keeper shouldn’t. Then, there is Joe Gomez, who was exposed in the same match. With Matip fit and Fabinho’s performance against Chelsea, we can see Gomez getting replaced by either of them. Jordan Henderson has to return in midfield. Thiago is back after suffering from COVID-19, and if he starts, he will provide some much needed control in midfield. Roberto Firmino has to find the net soon enough. He has had a few clear chances, and he will get more, he just has to find the back of the net. Sadio Mane’s return is a huge boost. Mo Salah’s recent form is encouraging too.  

 


Everton are top of the league. A lot of the credit has to go to Carlo Anchelotti. With James Rodriguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin firing on all cylinders, Everton have a realistic chance of winning this match. They have been good defensively and have wrecked havoc going forward. Jordan Pickford has mistakes in him and the Liverpool forwards will look to expose him. Docoure has been a great addition to this Everton side and coming from Watford, he knows a thing or two about beating Liverpool. Richalison has been good in patches and he can be a real menace down the wing. 


It would be a great match and it isn’t as straightforward to call its winner this time around. Carlo Anchelotti versus Jurgen Klopp is a tasty matchup. It promises to be one hell of a game.

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: 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...

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 ...
