When Pep Guardiola started his preparations for the new season, he knew there would be an immediate disadvantage. “We will arrive late but not (just) against Manchester United [in the Community Shield], against Chelsea and Ipswich too,” he said. “We will be late. It’s about trying not to drop many points, try to compete well. We don’t have players because they have to rest.” City under Guardiola have made a point of giving players as much rest as they can between campaigns, and most of the players that had driven the Blues to a fourth Premier League title in a…
Arne Slot’s tactical nous lends itself to success in the Premier League. Liverpool’s roaring start to the 2024/25 campaign confirms as much. He’s personable and charismatic, but there’s a ruthlessness about Slot that’s refreshing to see. Jarell Quansah’s half-time substitution against Ipswich Town on the opening day proves as much.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot The Dutch coach has been reluctant, more or less, to make alterations, which might seem to run counter to…

A Ballon d’Or nominated striker admits he held talks with Liverpool. It’s the one club he wishes he’d said yes to. Antonio Di Natale is one of the most interesting players of the last 15 years. The Italian spent his developmental years in Serie C and Serie B, not making an appearance in Serie A until he was nearly 25. That debut campaign did bring about 14 goals but he followed it up with just five as Empoli were relegated in 2004. A move to Udinese wasn’t all that notable and Di Natale scored just 15 Serie A goals in…
