Liverpool are back in action on Sunday after the November international break with a trip to St Mary’s to meet Southampton in the Premier League. Arne Slot’s side sit top of the table after an impressive opening three months of the season and face the league’s bottom club. And the Dutchman will answer questions from journalists ahead of the game on Friday morning when he takes his usual pre-match press conference at the AXA Training Centre. On the agenda will be a number of fitness concerns. Diogo Jota has been sidelined since picking up an upper body injury during the…
2023 fifth-round pick Henry To’oTo’o exceeded expectations for the Houston Texans as a rookie. He recorded 61 tackles with two going for a loss. This year, he was inserted into the starting lineup and has continued to play well. He’s played in nine games and has started each of them. He’s alreaded surpassed his numbers from last year with 63 tackles, six for a loss, and one sack. Despite this, he saw his snap count drop in Week 11. He recorded at least 50 in each game he’s appeared in since Week 1 and had a season-high 64 against the…
Jarrett Patterson has been lights-out for Texans since moving into lineup The Houston Texans offensive line has performed much better with Jarrett Patterson in the lineup. By Randy Gurzi | Nov 22, 2024 When Kenyon Green suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, the Houston Texans shook up their offensive line. They moved Juice Scruggs from center to left guard, in place of Green. They then brought Jarrett Patterson in at center. Through two games, this move has paid off with the sixth-round pick from 2023 peforming at a high level. Against Detroit, Patterson earned a 65.9 pass block grade, far superior…
The Houston Texans are back on track. With superstar wide receiver Nico Collins back in the lineup, the Texans rolled into the DFW and stomped the Dallas Cowboys 34-10 in Jerry’s World. The return of Collins certainly opened things up for C.J. Stroud and the rest of Houston’s offense. In all fairness, bringing back a player who led the NFL in receiving yards prior to his injury might just do that. In Week 12, there could be another big return for the Texans. After suffering an injury against the New York Jets, Will Anderson Jr. was sidelined. He was able…
In the NFL, no team is going to win a Super Bowl without being stout in the trenches, and the Houston Texans are learning that the hard way in the 2024 NFL Season. Houston is 7-4 on the season and could runaway with the AFC South title. The Indianapolis Colts are behind them at 5-6, but since Houston swept Indy this year, the Colts would have to essentially make-up three games in the standings, and with just six left for each of them, that isn’t likely. But just because Houston is very likely set to win the AFC South for…
HOUSTON – Nico Collins is primed for an increased workload Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in his second game back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for five games. As explosive as he looked against the Dallas Cowboys, especially on a touchdown burst on a screen play that was called back due to a penalty, the Texans’ star wide receiver emphasized that’s just the preview of what he plans to do in the second half of the season. The Texans had Collins on a reduced role Monday night as he caught four passes for 54 yards on seven targets.…
Liverpool have enjoyed some brilliant players across the years, but when thinking of the finest to ply their trade on green grass, fans can often be drawn, for better or worse, to those at the front of the ship. We get it. Goals are great. Goals, by their very definition, are the most crucial part of the game. The goal of football is to score more than the other team. Luis Suarez Liverpool graphic But what about those in the middle? Liverpool have had some fine midfielders throughout the age – what about the best of modern times? Liverpool’s finest…
Shane Long thought Liverpool Legend was “horrendous” when he first arrived in the Premier League, only to be proven totally wrong by the future Liverpool hero. Mane came through the youth ranks of Generation Foot before signing his first professional contract with Metz in 2011, with Red Bull Salzburg snapping him up the following year. Bagging 45 goals and 32 assists in just 87 games for the Austrian giants made a wealth of larger sides take notice of the fast forward, with Southampton bringing him to the English top flight in 2014 in a £10million deal. And while fans of…
Southampton vs. Liverpool: Will Arne Slot risk Trent and Van Dijk on Sunday? Liverpool will not take risks by using players who are not necessarily at full fitness against Southampton such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Reds expert David Lynch has claimed. Premier League football returns this weekend, and the Merseysiders will hope to continue their title charge on Sunday when they travel to face Southampton. Arne Slot’s side are first in the division with 28 points from a possible 33, and the Dutchman’s team have so far managed to capitalise on the vulnerabilities of title rivals Arsenal and Manchester City. However,…
If Liverpool’s detractors were hoping the period between the October and November international breaks would have adversely defined their season, then there would have been plenty of grumbles when the final whistle went against Aston Villa. Rather than suffocate under the weight of pressure that games with Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton and Villa brought alongside continental clashes with Bundesliga pair RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen, Arne Slot’s side instead soared to the top of both the Premier League and Champions League table. Throw in a hard-earned victory at Brighton to set up a Carabao Cup quarter-final and another trip to the…
