Joao Pedro, 3 players to blame for Chelsea’s lethargic loss to Newcastle in the Premier League

Chelsea were unable to find any sort of quality against Newcastle United in the Premier League, losing 1-0 to drop more crucial points in a tight race for Champions League places. Here are three players to blame the most for the display. DM Moises Caicedo Moises Caicedo has probably been Chelsea's best player this season, but you would not have guessed it based on this game. He worked hard and won the ball a couple of times, but even his defensive work was below his standard as Chelsea spent the game chasing shadows. So much of his passing was lacking in creativity. While he was not sloppy, he was so plodding in possession and was a huge part of the problem, wastimg time on the ball and slowing the game down so Newcastle were always in control out of possession. RB Malo Gusto Both M...

Alvaro Arbeloa offers major Kylian Mbappe injury update

Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe has missed the last few games with a left knee injury that he was previously playing through, but the Merengues had to stop trotting him out there due to the risk of aggravation. Mbappe is feeling better now, so Real are evaluating when he can return. Ahead of Saturday's game against Elche, which Mbappe obviously will not be playing, Madrid manager Alvaro Arbeloa addressed the Mbappe injury situation. He told reporters, via Fabrizio Romano, “Mbappé is getting better every day. The mission is to have him available for Man City game. He will not play tomorrow. On Sunday, we will decide about Man City”. Real Madrid face Manchester City on Tuesday, March 17, in the Champions League second leg with a 3-0 advantage after Fede Valverde cooked Marc Gueh...

2025/26 Premier League Season Picks, Score Predictions for every Matchday 30 fixture

Another week of action is coming up in the 2025/26 Premier League season. Here are the score predictions for every single Matchday 30 game this weekend. Burnley 0-1 Bournemouth Sunderland 1-1 Brighton Chelsea 2-2 Newcastle Chelsea are reeling after Filip Jorgensen gifted PSG a 5-2 win in the Champions League, while Newcastle could only draw Barcelona despite outplaying them. This matchup is going to be too close to call between these two top five contenders in the Premier League, and they will ultimately share the spoils. One of the biggest questions heading into this game is now Chelsea's goalkeeper. Liam Rosenior seems to be set on Jorgensen as the No. 1 despite a horrendous performance againt PSG. Can he bounce back? Arsenal 1-0 Everton Arsenal did not perform well against Baye...

Fede Valverde, 3 Real Madrid stars who embarrassed Man City the most in the Champions League

Real Madrid dominated their new European Clasico rivals 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, and these three stars were shining the brightest on the big stage. CM Fede Valverde Fede Valverde scored one of the greatest hat tricks you will see in the Champions League knockouts, especially from a midfielder. He had a beautiful first touch and blew by the keeper on the break with a great finish off balance to match. His second goal featured a brilliant first touch and finish to the far post with his left that Erling Haaland would be proud of. And to top it off, he juggled and stayed composed with a technical finish that had Jamie Carragher comparing the man to Dennis freaking Bergkamp. Take a bow.

Erling Haaland, 3 Manchester City stars who flopped in blowout loss to Real Madrid

Manchester City were humbled badly by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, falling victims to the magic at the venue yet again in a 3-0 loss in the Champions League Round of 16. Here are three stars who flopped in the big moment. ST Erling Haaland Erling Haaland definitely got screwed over by his teammates, because he had no help. People just were not creating chances for him, and the midfield did not produce even when they had the ball. Still, you have to create your own luck, and Haaland simply did not do that. The Norwegian sensation looked completely out of the game and lethargic, and when he did have the ball, he gave it up to the opposition way, way too cheaply. RW Savinho Savinho got hooked off at the half, and he continues to prove why he is Man City's most disappointing pl...

Filip Jorgensen, 3 players to blame the most for Chelsea’s 5-2 implosion vs. PSG in the Champions League

Chelsea were neck and neck with defending Champions League winners PSG at one point, but they imploded late in the second half, falling 5-2 in the first leg of the Round of 16 at the Parc des Princes. These three players cost Chelsea the most. GK Filip Jorgensen There is no single player more to blame than Filip Jorgensen, who was culpable on at least two of the goals PSG scored. Look, PSG would have won this game even if Robert Sanchez started, but you can't just chalk it up as a team loss when your goalkeeper plays this badly. Liam Rosenior made the controversial decision to start Jorgensen despite Robert Sanchez having a much better season, and instead of making the new coach look like a genius, he made him look like a fool. Jorgensen was putting his teammates in bad spots all game...

Bukayo Saka, 3 Arsenal stars to blame for failing to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League

Arsenal drew Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 thanks to a late penalty converted by former Leverkusen star Kai Havertz and won controversially by Noni Madueke. A mere draw is not what the Gunners expected to get out of this game, even on the road, as they are the Premier League leaders. Here are three players most to blame for the result. RW Bukayo Saka This is the worst Bukayo Saka has looked. In a big Champions League game, Saka could not produce anything other than pass the ball backwards, and he genuinely looked slow and concerning, totally lacking in quality. Injuries are catching up to the talented and efficient winger, who was anything but efficient on this day. The worst player on the pitch, Saka got hooked at the hour mark, and Arsenal were visibly much, much better and more dangerous wi...

Every Premier League Big 6 club’s biggest disappointment of the 2025/26 season

The pressure of playing for one of the big boys can get to anyone, or it could simply be down to injuries or a poor fit causing a star to underperform at a top club. Here is the most disappointing player at every Premier League Big Six club this season. Arsenal: Martin Odegaard The Arsenal captain is one of the best midfielders and playmakers in world football, and when he is healthy and at his best, he can really elevate this team. Problematically, Odegaard has not been healthy since the start of the 2024/25 season, and he has not been at his best in the biggest games. Viktor Gyokeres has been worse in terms of overall performance on the pitch, but his tactical impact on the team as a true No. 9 has been massive. Meanwhile, it is legitimately debatable if Odegaard has been any better...

Mohamed Salah, 3 Liverpool players to blame for the 1-0 loss to Galatasaray

Liverpool came, they saw, and they stunk, losing 1-0 in Istanbul to a Galatasaray side that suddenly looks like as big of a sleeper team in the 2025/26 Champions League season as Bodo Glimt. Here are three Liverpool players who cost their team the most in the defeat. RW Mohamed Salah It starts with Mohamed Salah, who produced such a disastrous outing that you would have been forgiving for failing to realize that he was subbed out at around the hour mark in a totally anonymous display. Salah's performance vs. Galatasaray is the latest embarrassment in a 2025/26 season to forget, and Salah genuinely looks past it, especially in these big games. He contributed more offsides than genuine progressive or creator play for Liverpool. LB Milos Kerkez Speaking of progressive play, Milos Kerke...

2025/26 Premier League Team of the Season so far

There have been 29 Premier League Matchdays played in the 2025/26 season, so now is a perfect time to reset everything and take another look at the Team of the Season thus far. GK Gianluigi Donnarumma, Manchester City To be honest, it has been a weaker year for Premier League goalkeepers, especially with Liverpool superstar Alisson Becker struggling, but newcomer Gianluigi Donnarumma has maintained his reputation as one of the world's best. His pure shot stopping has been a major upgrade for the Citizens, and he currently ranks third in save percentage while being among the league leaders in clean sheets and fewest goals allowed.
