Chelsea fans will be saying ‘I told you so’ to Todd Boehly after latest Liam Rosenior news

Chelsea are on a bit of a slide after tough losses to Newcastle and PSG, showing that new manager Liam Rosenior is having an issue matching the tactical acumen of top managers and clubs. Rosenior has frustrated Chelsea fans with basic decision making errors, such as benching one of his best players this season, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, for one of his worst in Filip Jorgensen. Consequences may be coming early for a manager hired just a couple of months ago. According to a report from Sky Sports Switzerland insider Sacha Tavolieri, several sources close to Chelsea are relaying serious concerns that Rosenior is not the right man to lead the team going forward. There are even several high profile voices in the front office who are predicting that the former Strasbourg manager will n...

Liam Rosenior came to a sad Pedro Neto realization

Chelsea were putrid on Saturday night against Newcastle United, losing 1-0 and showing no attacking threat despite having both Cole Palmer and a seemingly in form Joao Pedro starting together. One of the players who did not start? Pedro Neto. Chelsea fans were happy to see the back of him after a few terrible, selfish displays in the Blues attack, but manager Liam Rosenior was singing a different tune after the loss to the Magpies. Rosenior said of Neto, who was suspended after shoving a ball boy, “ We knew there would be a hearing. It cost us Pedro on the pitch today who could have made a huge difference." The fact that Chelsea may have missed Neto, who has been poor in recent weeks, speaks volumes to just how dreadful Pedro, Palmer, Alejandro Garnacho and the rest of the previou...

Liverpool make the obvious Alisson Becker decision

Alisson Becker is one of the most important players to Liverpool, but with his contract running down and speculation that clubs like Juventus were after him as a goalkeeper upgrade, the Reds needed to make sure to keep the rumors at bay. And they have done just that. According to a report from Paul Joyce of the Sunday Times, Liverpool have triggered the option in Alisson's contract to keep him around for the 2026/27 season. It is an obvious decision. Although Alisson has been disappointing this year along with the rest of his Liverpool teammates, there is no question that he is one of the top five goalkeepers in the world, if not the top two behind only Thibaut Courtois of Real Madrid. Liverpool have a long term successor in Giorgi Mamardashvili, but he is not yet ready to replace...

The 10 players who could leave Manchester United this summer

Manchester United are on the right track now with Michael Carrick at the helm, fighting for the Champions League places, and if they can offload unwanted first team players who are underperforming and cash in on a variety of loanees with no future at the club, they could be in business with more big signings this summer. According to information from ESPN FC, a total of 10 players could be leaving Manchester United this summer. Rasmus Hojlund is almost certain to stay with Napoli permanently after a successful loan spell, and the same can be said for Marcus Rashford at Barcelona. So that rules out two right off the bat. Goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir were horrendous for Manchester United and are obvious exit candidates, likely to the Turkish Super Lig. Joshua Zirkzee, Mas...

Real Madrid set to bring another youth player to the first team vs. Elche

Real Madrid will face Elche in La Liga on Saturday night after dismantling Champions League rivals Manchester City 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu, so this game could be the right time for stars to be rested and even for unknowns to get a chance.

Per a report from MARCA, Arbeloa is now ready to call up another youth player to the squad for the Elche game in Daniel Yanez, who has been a star for the Real Madrid Castilla side in the UEFA Youth Cup, recently scoring a winning goal vs. Chelsea. The 18 year old right winger made his debut with the first team las...

Barcelona set to rest 3 key players vs. Sevilla

Barcelona defeated Athletic Club and Villarreal in their last two La Liga matchups, but they are coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw against Newcastle United. This weekend, Barca will return to La Liga action to take on Sevilla, who love to steal points off the Big 3 in Spain. Per a report from Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are looking to make rotations and rest key players for this game with the Champions League's crucial second leg on the horizon. Striker Robert Lewandowski, star winger Raphinha, and center midfielder Marc Bernal are three vital players the Blaugrana are looking to rotate. While fans are hoping for additional rest for Lamine Yamal and Pedri, though it is possible Barca do not want to underestimate Sevilla with the title race with Real Madrid still on despite the Blaug...

Manchester United have 5 managers on their shortlist

The favorite to coach Manchester United next season is interim manager Michael Carrick, who was a brilliant center midfielder for the club more than a decade ago and has immediately turned the club around into Champions League contenders after two disastrous Ruben Amorim and Erik ten Hag reigns. But Manchester United are still looking around the market for established coaches and big names, and according to information from ESPN's top journalist Mark Ogden, there are five managers on their current short list. Manchester United are indeed looking at Julian Nagelsmann of the German national team and Marseille's Roberto De Zerbi, formerly of Brighton. But they are also interested in three current Premier League managers in Aston Villa's Unai Emery, Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, and B...

Manchester United will get a key player back vs. Aston Villa

Manchester United will face Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League in a huge battle between third and fourth with both clubs tied on 51 points in the table. According to information from BBC Sport reporter Simon Stone, veteran Man United defender Noussair Mazraoui is set to be available this weekend for the game after dealing with a foot injury. Mazraoui has played left back, right back, and center back for Man United this season. He started a week ago against Newcastle United in a tough 2-1 loss, but he is rested now and ready to help this defense out during an injury crisis. Matthijs de Ligt is out for at least a month, and Lisandro Martinez is still having to work his way back. There was some concern about Mazraoui's status against the Magpies, but it looks like ...

Real Madrid expected to rest 5 key players vs. Elche

Real Madrid totally dominated Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and center midfielder Federico Valverde led the way with incredible games, while center back Antonio Rudiger was also amazing in shutting down Erling Haaland again. All three players look set to get rewarded with some rest. MARCA report that Real Madrid are expected to leave Fede, Courtois, Rudiger, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Aurelien Tchouameni to get some much needed time off this weekend against La Liga underdogs Elche on Saturday night. But Real Madrid will not be underestimating their stingy opponents. Those five stars will likely be rested by manager Alvaro Arbeloa, which means opportunities for top backup keeper Andriy Lunin, veteran right back Da...

Manchester United have the best player in the Premier League at headers (and it’s not Benjamin Sesko)

Manchester United are back on the rise under Michael Carrick, who is getting this team to actually play exciting and effective football, and the team's biggest stars are performing at their best level. One of them is new striker Benjamin Sesko, a top talent. His aerial prowess was already well known in the Bundesliga before arriving at Old Trafford, and he has been scoring goals like crazy in 2026, including with his head. Gradient Sports creates metrics that grade players based on performance in attributes, and Sesko is in the top 10 among players in the Premier League at finishing with their heads. But you know what's crazy? He's actually ninth, and Manchester United have another player in first. That would be Casemiro, who is in first, beating out Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk in...
