Luis Díaz can make a case to have been Liverpool’s most impressive performer in its 4-1 win at Brentford on Saturday. That’s no mean feat when all five of the senior forwards contributed to at least one of the goals. If hailing the Colombian as the Player of the Match is a step too far, it was a good outing by his own standards. Díaz recorded eight shot-creating actions, becoming the first Liverpool player to hit this arbitrary mark for the fourth time this season. He has had more, notching double figures in the 4-2 win over Newcastle, as have…
Rodri lashed out at the officiating during Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday, as the defending champions lost ground in the title race. City missed out on the chance to move to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool as they failed to win at the Etihad, while the Reds’ kept up their good form with a 4-1 win over Brentford earlier in the day. Speaking after the game which City, drew despite an xG score of 3.04-1.80 in the host’s favour, Rodri chose to complain about referee Andy Madley. The Spaniard told Match of the Day:…
Manchester United has been told it could be making a mistake that Liverpool could capitalize on. Joshua Zirkzee has been making a name for himself in Italy’s Serie A, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in his 27 appearances this season, but the Old Trafford side may no longer be interested in the attacker. Zirkzee’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City taking a look at him, according to the Daily Express. United has appeared as a more likely destination though with the 22-year-old reportedly wanted by Erik ten…

Boston claimed the sides’ first head-to-head matchup of the season by a score of 3-2 in early November. The B’s enter the early afternoon showdown with little momentum, as they haven’t picked up two points in a game since Feb. 8. The Stars, meanwhile, haven’t suffered a regulation loss since Feb. 7 and are averaging a shade over four…
Working with two titans of industry brought Robert Kraft great success, probably more than he could have ever even imagined when he bought the New England Patriots in 1994. However, watching over two NFL legends didn’t come without apparent stress. The Patriots’ power dynamics across their incredible two-decade run are among the topics covered in “The Dynasty,” a new 10-part docuseries on Apple TV+. Matthew Hamacheck, the director of the project, spent considerable time speaking with Kraft for the series and ultimately came to understand one of the Patriots owner’s top priorities as Tom Brady’s and Bill Belichick’s respective legends…
Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft enjoyed an extremely fruitful working relationship in New England that lasted nearly a quarter-century, highlighted by six Super Bowl championships. But as the two NFL legends worked through the back end of their pact, they might have started to wear on each other. Many reports and other forms of media — including “The Dynasty” docuseries — indicate Patriots ownership wasn’t overly pleased with Belichick across the twilight years of his tenure with the franchise. While much of this apparent frustration likely stemmed from on-field results, it might not have been limited to football happenings. “I…
Saturday’s John Schreiber trade suggested the Red Sox were content with the state of their bullpen, especially the stable of right-handers. But two days after the deal with the Kansas City Royals, Boston added more depth to the position group. The Red Sox are close to adding veteran reliever Liam Hendriks, as first reported by MassLive’s Chris Cotillo and Sean McAdam. Once Hendriks completes a physical with the club, he is expected to sign a two-year, $10 million guaranteed deal with additional performance bonuses, per ESPN’s Buster Olney. Henriks won’t be able to make an immediate impact with Boston, as…
With Xander Bogaerts locked in at shortstop, Trevor Story moved to second base for his debut season with the Red Sox. Now, Bogaerts is set to make his own shift to the right side of the infield. After playing short in his first year with the Padres, Bogaerts is slated to be San Diego’s primary second baseman for the 2024 season. The two-time World Series champion was usurped at shortstop by Ha-Seong Kim, a fourth-year pro who is coming off a Gold Glove campaign. Asked by WEEI’s Rob Bradford about Bogaerts’ position switch, Story admitted he was “definitely” surprised to…
Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has given some advice to current member of the squad, Darwin Nunez, on his official social media. He notes that his finish against Brentford was ‘insane’ but believes he should be simplifying his game. While the goal against the Bees was certainly impressive, if the Uruguayan forward wants to build on his consistency, Owen this he should try to look to find the back of the net the easy way, rather than the hard way. While Nunez is a fantastic physical specimen with seemingly limitless room for growth in the Premier League, he often finds…
Football pundit Robbie Earle has compared Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister to Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.The Argentine World Cup winner started his side’s latest 4-1 Premier League win against Brentford on Saturday (February 17). While enjoying a slightly more advanced role with Wataru Endo behind him in midfield, Mac Allister managed to grab the Reds’ second goal of the match (55′). Claiming that he saw bits of the ex-England international and serial Premier League winner in the Liverpool midfielder, Earle told The 2 Robbies podcast (via The Boot Room): “If Endo does hold and Mac Allister is allowed play…
