Liverpool manager is known for his 4-3-2-1 formation since the start of the season but it hasn't been effective enough. Last season's top striker Mohammed Salah hasn't been wonderful in a 4-3-2-1 formation as he seems uncomfortable being the only striker upfront. The Egyptian is a great player who can score goals aplenty but he must be seen in a position where he can easily get the goals. Firmino, who is gradually getting his mojo back, will surely benefit from a change in formation as he would be made to partner the former Chelsea … [Read more...]
From outcast to integral player: How Xhaka turned things around under Emery
Though many Arsenal fans won't like to hear this, the bitter truth is that Switzerland international Granit Xhaka is one of the players Unai Emery can't do without.

The Portuguese manager has zero respect for the press, players, fellow managers and even fans. He's been involved in many controversial issues in … [Read more...]

The Red Devils are 16 points behind Manchester City as they helplessly lie in … [Read more...]

Speaking after his side's 4-2 victory over their arch-rivals Tottenham, Arsenal manager Unai Emery made a big claim when he said that the Gunners are on the same page with the Blues and Tottenham. The Gunners boss didn't just stop at that, he confirmed his assertion by saying "that's the reality" Is that's really the reality? Looking at what the Blues have achieved in recent years, you could be forced to say Emery didn't mean what he said. The Blues won two Premier League titles in three seasons before adding an FA Cup Victory last … [Read more...]
Watch your back Holding, this player is back in form!
Though Fulham lost to Chelsea in Sunday's Premier League clash, there is one player who would be very glad about his performance against the Blues. After a very difficult start to life at the Craven Cottage stadium, Arsenal loanee Calum Chambers is far becoming the player he was during his early days at the Emirates Stadium under Arsene Wenger. The England international put up a disgraceful performance for the League's newbies against Cardiff City in the second matches of the season and he was rightfully substituted by Slavisa Jokanovic in the … [Read more...]
