Midfielder Dele Alli has been praised by the Turkish media following his eye-catching debut for Super Lig giants Besitktas. Monday night’s win over Sivasspor featured some classic Dele Alli moments. He showed some spark and attacking intent on the ball and even nutmegged one of his opponents. However, this will be all too familiar to
Graham Potter is the name on the lips of fans whose teams are on the lookout for a new manager. Sunderland who need a new manager and Aston Villa, where Steven Gerrard is under pressure have been linked with the Brighton Boss. Graham Potter was thought to be in the running for the Spurs job,
When you lose 9-0, the idea of damage limitation probably feels a bit futile. Even so, Bournemouth manager Scott Parker might have made an effort. Scott Parker described his players as ‘struggling for air’ after Liverpool beat them 9-0 at Anfield. It equals the largest-ever Premier League winning margin, and Scott Parker said it was
Chelsea is a managerial merry-go-round, so nobody ever expected them to go experience the end of an era. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have shown how difficult it is to transition away from a messianic leader. Roman Abramovic was Chelsea’s cult of personality, and he left suddenly and quickly.

Three games, nine goals conceded,
Before Liverpool drew against Crystal Palace, manager Jurgen Klopp remarked that a week in football is like ten years. Considering the result left them winless after their first two league games, the following week must have felt like 100. It seems absurd to say Liverpool are now behind in the title race, but this is
Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is a solid bet for the first Premier League manager to lose their job this season. After three and a half years of inconsistency, it appears Ralph Hasenhuttl has run out of ideas. Following their opening day thrashing away at Spurs, reports suggested he has lost the trust of the dressing
Two games into his Premier League career, and new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is truly in the doldrums. An opening day defeat to Brighton at home may be forgivable, a 4 – 0 humbling away at Brentford is not. Erik ten Hag needed a good start, and he hasn’t had one. He’s dealing
Attending fans at Stamford Bridge on Sunday got their money’s worth in terms of entertainment with Chelsea VS Tottenham. The 2-2 draw had goals (including a last minute equalizer), passion and fisticuffs galore. Premier League managers are serious men. They’re educated, multilingual, motivated go-getters.
