The 5 most underrated Wolverhampton players of the last decade

Here are the five most underrated Wolverhampton Wanderers players from 2010 to 2019. LW Matthew Jarvis Matthew Jarvis' peak for Wolves was around the tail end of the 2000s and the start of the 2010s, and he was a darn good player for Wolverhampton. Jarvis scored 4 goals with 6 assists in the 2010/11 season and then 8 goals with 4 assists a season later. He was the one saving grace for Wolves, and it says something that he played that well in 2011/12. only for Wolves to finish dead last in the Premiership anyway. And without him, they would have definitely been relegated a season earlier than that anyway. Jarvis was unplayable at times when he was in his peak, though that peak sadly only lasted for a few seasons. His trickery and skill ranked among the best wingers in England, with ...

How many matches will Liverpool lose without Alisson Becker?

Liverpool returned to the fore as Premier League title contenders in the 2023/24 season, and while they ultimately fizzled out at the very end, the signs were there for an even stronger run at the title in 2024/25. Already, Liverpool look like a more dangerous team with Arne Slot managing the side, as he's turned Ryan Gravenberch into one of the best performing midfielders in the world while getting Luis Diaz back to his status as an elite left winger. Liverpool have won every single game but one this season, which was a Sept. 14 defeat to Nottingham Forest, one of the best defenses in the Premier League, by 1-0. Over the next several weeks, the Reds' stock as title contenders will truly be put to the test with a gauntlet of matches, and they will also face some tough competition ...

Manchester United should just hire Thomas Tuchel already

At this point, the "Will they or won't they?" around Erik ten Hag's future at Manchester United is starting to become a bit nauseating, because it's almost as if Man United's leadership, regardless of who it is, is kicking the can in perpetuity on a manager nobody really seems to believe in. Manchester United spent heavily on incoming transfers in each offseason ten Hag has been Man United manager, and after last seasons's eighth-placed finish, there haven't been any real signs of growth to start the 2024/25 campaign. Most pundits are clamoring for Manchester United to make a change, especially after the Red Devils non-existent midfield structure was ripped to shreds by Tottenham and then Porto in the Europa League, surrendering three goals in both matches. In fact, Manchester Uni...

Tottenham’s biggest issue is a lot more logical than just ‘being Spursy’

There are about a thousand things I loathe about modern-day football discourse, which has somehow sunk below its previous lowest common denominator by the devolution in quality of football sites and the increasing popularity of social media accounts that exist solely for the purpose of engagement. I preface this article with a rant, because no team seems to bear the brunt of false criticism moreso than Tottenham, who are readily meme'd by the multiverse of imbeciles of the Internet without any of these individuals actually placing a modicum of thought into their assertions. Tottenham are coming off a deeply disappointing loss to Brighton, blowing a 2-0 lead to fall 3-2 to one of the best-coached and most talent-laden sides in the Premier League. There's honestly no shame in losing...

The 5 most disappointing Manchester United players in 2024

Which Manchester United players have been letting the Red Devils down the most over the past year? CM Mason Mount Manchester United spent 55 million pounds in the summer 2023 transfer window in order to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea, and the former 2020/21 Champions League winner has looked nothing like the top Premier League attacking midfielder he was a few years ago. If anything, signing Mount didn't make much sense in the first place, because Manchester United already had an even more statistically prolific No. 10 in Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who was never going to yield his starting job anyway. And then behind him, Manchester United have one of the top prospects in the Premier League, Alejandro Garnacho, meaning Mount was destined - or doomed, depending on your per...

Ranking the 5 best Manchester United goalkeepers in history

5. Alex Stepney Alex Stepney was Manchester United's starting goalkeeper from 1966 to 1978 after a brief spell at Chelsea, and he ended up playing over 400 games in the English top flight for the Red Devils. Although Stepney's name doesn't come up as often when discussing the great Manchester United goalkeepers, he won the league, FA Cup, and European Cup with the club, producing an acclaimed save in that European Cup Final at Wembley against Benfica. The save game from short-range to stop a scorcher from Benfica striker Eusebio, who is widely regarded as one of the best players in world football history. In fact, Stepney's save was so remarkable that Eusebio himself applauded the Manchester United goalkeeper. Stepney recalled, "I saw it on telly afterwards and what had happened ...

Ranking the 10 best Premier League playmakers in 2024

Here is a ranking of the best playmakers in the English top flight in 2024. 10. Andreas Pereira, Fulham A lot of people wrote Andreas Pereira off after he put up mediocre numbers for Manchester United for years before going to Brazil, returning, and turning his career around with another historic Premier League side in Fulham. Now, Pereira is playing the best football in his career at the age of 28 and has become one of the best passers in the final third in the entire Premier League.

5 possible Liverpool center back transfer targets in the January 2025 window

Liverpool have one of the best center back partnerships in world football between Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, but it's time to add more talent to the pool, especially with VVD getting closer to 35. Here are five center back targets the Reds should consider signing in the winter 2025 transfer window. Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton Manchester United were in hot pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite for much of 2024, but they ultimately balked on the Everton star because of a 70 million pound asking price. Instead, Manchester United sign Leny Yoro for 60 million euros from Lille, paying a premium price to make sure Yoro chose them over PSG and Liverpool. By not waiting for Real Madrid in 2025, Yoro had already chosen against his dream club and the favorites to sign him. With Branthwaite...
