8 d. ago Why Saudi money hasn’t transformed Newcastle into title contenders

Eddie Howe’s team have the richest owners in the world. But they are still to mount a title challenge since the Public Investment Fund came knockingSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereEddie Howe is not a manager given to histrionics or grand public pronouncements. So by his standards, his press conference after Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to lowly West Ham counts as a furious tirade. His side took an early lead but West Ham were ahead by half-time, as well as hitting the post and having a penalty overturned by VAR, leading Howe to make a triple change at the break.“That was the frustrating thing about the first half,” Howe said. “I almost could have taken anyone off and I think that was a reflection of where we were in that moment in the game and it’s very, very rare for me to feel that way. In fact, I don’t think I have since I’ve been manager of Newcastle, so I felt the team needed some shaking up at half-time. That’s why I did what I did.”This is an extract from Soccer with Jonat...

8 d. ago PSG face an unusual problem: they are not scoring enough goals in Ligue 1

The European champions are only the fifth top scorers in Ligue 1 – behind Marseille, Lille, Monaco and StrasbourgBy Get French Football News“It’s both beautiful and frustrating,” says Luis Enrique. The Paris Saint-Germain manager has a complicated relationship with how his team’s league matches play out. When PSG are involved, one team attacks and the other defends. “I like attacking a low block,” he insists. “It is the phase of play that I am most familiar with. I am very respectful of how other teams play. It is a different kind of football from ours, it’s atypical, but I understand and accept it.”Accepting low blocks isn’t really a choice for PSG; it is simply their reality, a result of the talent imbalance created by financial imbalance. Their talent usually tells and the low-block is unlocked with varying degrees of difficulty. But it has been tougher this season. Continue reading...

1 week ago Fulham cruise past Wolves to end losing run and turn up heat on Vítor Pereira

The wait goes on and on for Vítor Pereira and Wolves. Not since 26 April – 189 days to be precise – have the beleaguered Portuguese manager and his team tasted victory in the Premier League and that never looked like changing on yet another afternoon when nothing seemed to go their way.From the moment Ryan Sessegnon put Fulham ahead in the ninth minute, there was little prospect of Marco Silva’s side not going on to end their run of four straight defeats – especially when Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off towards the end of the first half. Harry Wilson and a disastrous own goal from substitute Yerson Mosquera made sure of the points after the break to leave Pereira sweating over his future. Continue reading...
