Google Image

With 3 games remaining in Barclays Primier League and knockout in the Champions League, David Moyes position as the Red Devils is in doubt. Some negative and positive impact during his brief season, but we share his 10 things that at least he has got it right.

The emergence of Adnan Januzaj

Google Image

Ferguson has got it wrong about Pogba to loan him to Juventus but at least he has secured Januzaj when the team needed him the most. Right?

Rooney is still a United player

Google Image

For some reason, Rooney is actually destined to be in Chelsea in the last summer. But Moyes has fought back and convinced Rooney with 300,000 pound/week and captain armband.

He bought Juan Mata

Google Image

The Reds is now have a new icon. Signing him from Chelsea is quite an achievement for the team and the fans absolutely.

Shinji Kagawa finally found his feet in United

Google Image

Kagawa shows slow start in the early season. But somehow Moyes managed to found a way to get the best from Kagawa and it will throw up some serious selection dilemmas for him next season

Where is Anderson?

Google Image

Moyes did what Ferguson should do years ago to shipped underachieving Anderson out. More are sure to follow.

Making Welbek matter again

Google Image

From only 2 goals last season and 10 goals this time around, Moyes really has developed Welbek scoring skills.

Sink or swim for Smalling and Jones

Google Image

Moyes has decided to let Smalling and Jones to replace Vidic and Ferdinand after Vidic is on his way to Milan this summer and Ferdinand is shown his door out.

Problem Solving

Google Image

Ferguson did a good job in covering the deficiency between left back and center midfield position by bringing Scholes from his retirement. Moyes has spent half of the summer to get one center midfielder, but Alcantara, Fabregas and Herrera have thier own ides. Who has thought that Fellaini was a good option?

The Man who followed Fergie

Google Image

Not only he has take the impposible job in United, but Moyes has done it with reverence, keeping the club's principles in place and remaining dignified despite United's dire situation.

Leaving an Everton Legacy 

Google Image

It shouldn't Martinez to get all the credit for Everton's points this season, but we must at least agreed that Moyes has left them in a good shape when he departed for Old Trafford.

Liverpool Vs Manchester City Preview

Liverpool Vs Manchester City Preview

Google Image
Both teams are attack-minded and high-scoring with exciting forward players, and both have weaknesses in defence, despite City's recent improvement at the back.

So the battle for control of the game in midfield will be vital at Anfield, particularly how each team tries to protect their back four.

For Manchester City, Fernandinho is seen as their main defensive midfielder, but there is much more to his game than that.

His energy will be vital for Manuel Pellegrini's men, not just when it comes down to winning the ball back from Liverpool, but also in turning defence into attack.

I sometimes hear people describe Fernandinho as being an anchor man in the mould of former Chelsea star Claude Makelele, because they think Yaya Toure is the City midfielder who gets forward.

But in fact Fernandinho and Toure work in tandem as a pair of box-to-box players. They have got a great partnership because they share defensive and attacking responsibilities in City's usual 4-2-3-1 formation.

It is Toure who grabs the headlines because of his rampaging runs but Fernandinho is an unsung hero for City because of the energy he brings to their team, his mobility, and the amount of work he puts in.

Defensively, Fernandinho covers a lot of ground when City do not have possession and puts the most pressure on the ball. If you add up interceptions and tackles, he has won it back more than any other City player this season.

So i pick City will win 2-0.

Liverpool On Top of The Table

Google Image

Lisince losing to Chelsea on 29 December, Liverpool are unbeaten and have taken 35 out of a possible 39 points, which has elevated them to top spot with six games to go and answered their critics in stunning style.

Liverpool climbed back to the top of the Premier League table as they comfortably dispatched Tottenham 4-0 at Anfield.

Brendan Rodgers' side eighth successive Premier League win was barely in doubt as they dominated proceedings from start to finish.

They were gifted the lead just two-minutes in when Glen Johnson fired a cross into the six-yard box and Younes Kaboul could only back-heel the ball past Hugo Lloris into his own goal.

Kaboul endured something of a nightmare first-half which culminated in Luis Suarez latching onto his miscontrol just before the break and finishing with a crisp left-footed strike past Lloris.

Indeed had it not been for Lloris' brilliance on the stroke of half-time to deny Suarez with header, it could and should have been 3-0.

A blocked Christian Eriksen effort and a Roberto Soldado shot aside, Spurs showed very little in Liverpool's last third and it was the same story after the break.

Jordan Henderson should have scored early in the second period as he blasted over after good work from Raheem Sterling but the Kopites did not have long to wait for a third.

Fed by Jon Flanagan, Philippe Coutinho carried the ball to the edge of the Spurs box before clinically firing into the bottom corner.

The fourth duly arrived with 15-minutes remaining, with Henderson getting his name on the score-sheet after his in-swinging free-kick went through a crowd and straight in, completing a resounding and thoroughly deserved win which takes Liverpool two points clear of Chelsea and four of third placed Manchester City.

It is the first time since Christmas that they have been at the summit, and the last four teams who occupied that position on December 25 went on to win the title and the prospect of a first title for 24 years is now closer than a speck on the horizon it has been for a couple of decades.

If you ask me can Liverpool win the title? Yes, Liverpool can win the title, and it makes it a bit easier when there at the top of the table..

Arsenal and City Preview


Today's game which will host in the emirates, is the game to watch. Recently, Wenger have raised his white flag for the race of league title.

The Citizens meanwhile, is set to continue their winning record in the league after the lost to Barca in the Champions League.

Arsenal fans are worried, and little wonder. Injuries have hit and the team's confidence is fragile while they encounter a City side fresh from their humbling of Manchester United and who remain as most people's title favourites.

Arsène Wenger has them down as the side to beat.

Arsenal's manager might have to temper his natural instinct to get on to the front foot – City bite. 

The visitors still have to go to Liverpool but they see this as a key staging post.

Maourinho will avoid Chris Foy

Jose Mourinho wants the Premier League to stop sending Chris Foy to Chelsea games after the referee's performance in the defeat to Aston Villa.

Foy sent off Willian for two bookable offences at Villa Park before dismissing Ramires in the closing stages for a sliding tackle on Karim El Ahmadi.

Chelsea manager Mourinho came on to the pitch after the second red card and was also sent to the stands by Foy who did not want to speak to the Portuguese after the game.

Google Image
Mourinho tried his best to bite his lip in his post-match press conference, but he eventually relented in another media briefing minutes later.

"Maybe it's helpful that the (Premier League referees') committee doesn't send him (Foy) to our matches," said Mourinho.

"I don't have the right to request (that). It's just I think they have to analyse the situation and see if every time he has Chelsea - or not every time - but many times he has Chelsea and problems are there, I think maybe it would be a good decision."

Although he was not manager then, Mourinho recalled Chelsea's defeat to QPR in 2011 when Foy dismissed Jose Bosingwa and Didier Drogba.

"The last time I remember something similar was in a match at QPR's stadium," Mourinho said.

When informed that it was Foy who took charge of that match, Mourinho said: "I didn't know (that). It's a coincidence."

Mourinho revealed the fact that Foy was to officiate the game had been regularly discussed at Chelsea's training ground at Cobham after the officials were announced.

"The players were speaking about it during the week," Mourinho added. "They have a reason.

"I never care who the ref is. I don't want to know. But during the week the players were speaking about the situation and I think from now on the next time we have Mr Foy I have to work my people in a different way."

Mourinho did not want to say whether he thought the decision to send off Ramires or Willian was correct in case he was charged by the Football Association.

The FA could take a dim view of Mourinho's claim that "problems" regularly occur when Foy officiates Chelsea games though.

The Chelsea manager is also facing an FA charge for entering the field of play.

Rule E3 states managers must not leave their technical area as Mourinho did during the match.

Mourinho claimed he was only attempting to cool tempers, and to ask Foy why he had not sent off Gabriel Agbonlahor, who had already been substituted, for accosting Ramires.

Villa manager Paul Lambert also entered the pitch, as did a number of coaches.

If the FA decides Mourinho or anyone else who entered the pitch has broken the law, it can fine him £8,000-£12,000.

If anyone involved is found to have used abusive or insulting language he can be hit with a two-match touchline ban.

Mourinho insists he has done nothing wrong and he would prefer the money to go to an interesting destination if he is fined.

He said: "I don't think it would be a problem to make a donation to help young referees to have better conditions to improve a referees academy, this kind of situation or to improve kids with social problems or economical problems."-source

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Arsenal (0-1):Post Report


16th March2014 : Arsenal had the single goal when Tomas Rosicky's fires a rocket after just 72 seconds and lifted Arsenal back into  the Premier League title race.

Some of the White Hart Lane faithful were still taking their seats when Arsenal took the lead, with Rosicky leaving Hugo Lloris grasping at thin air with a venomous right-foot strike from the corner of the area which flew across the goalkeeper and into the back of the net.

Google Image
Rosicky had picked up possession in his own half before advancing into the space vacated by Danny Rose's forward foray before playing a slightly fortuitous one-two with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and then finding the top corner.

The Gunners were forced onto the back foot for long periods of the north London derby, but the closest Spurs came to levelling was in the second period when Wojciech Szczesny inexplicably failed to gather a routine cross from the right and had Laurent Koscielny to thank for denying Nacer Chadli a certain leveller.
Arsenal are now third, only behind Liverpool on goal difference and just four points adrift of Chelsea and with a game in hand on the leaders, while they now boast a nine-point cushion over their derby rivals in fifth.
Arsenal were ahead inside two minutes of Arsene Wenger's 999th match in charge with a goal of the highest order.

Sherwood's side - whose collective character had been questioned by the manager - soon regrouped and caused Arsenal a few problems with probing balls into the penalty area.

Arsenal, though, retained possession well and it should have been 2-0 on 15 minutes when Oxlade-Chamberlain robbed Nabil Bentaleb on the halfway line and sprinted clear.

The England man darted to the edge of the penalty area, but as Lloris came off his line the Arsenal man screwed his attempted chip horribly wide - with Lukas Podolski screaming for a square pass for what would have been a tap-in.

That let-off gave a huge lift to the home side, who immediately went on the offensive with a low cross from Andros Townsend on the right flying through the six-yard box.

On 21 minutes, Arsenal full-back Bacary Sagna slid into a challenge with Danny Rose which - although he probably touched the ball first - totally upended the Spurs defender. Sherwood was off the bench demanding a red card but, after a stern talking-to, referee Mike Dean produced only a yellow.

Spurs continued to play a very high defensive line, which was breached again when Podolski raced clear down the left. His cut-back was just behind Rosicky but Oxlade-Chamberlain connected with a strike that was deflected out for a corner.

The home side should have been level at the start of the second half following two terrible handling errors from Szczesny.

First the Pole flapped at a cross on the edge of the Arsenal penalty area, which Sagna hacked away as Chadli chased the loose ball. Then, inexplicably, Szczesny failed to collect a high cross into the box, which this time did fall for Chadli, but somehow Koscielny blocked his goalbound shot at point-blank range.
With 20 minutes left, there was a double change for the home side when Paulinho and Gylfi Sigurdsson replaced Chadli and Sandro.

For Arsenal, Rosicky was taken off as defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini came on.

Wenger was off his seat protesting for what he felt was a penalty after Koscielny was sent tumbling by Jan Vertonghen, but the referee was not interested.

Lloris then made a smart reaction save after Per Mertesacker lashed the ball goalwards from a deep free-kick.

Tempers boiled over in the closing minutes as Sherwood twice hurled the ball at Sagna when Arsenal had been awarded a throw-in.

Mikel Arteta played a good game as he eventually act as peacemaker in a crowded technical area as his side played out the four minutes of stoppage time.

Manchester United VS Liverpool (0-3):Post Report

16th March 2014 : Liverpool really played a better game than Manchester United when they had their impressive 3-0 win at Old Trafford.

Two Steven Gerrard penalties and a late finish from Luis Suarez secured the three points for the visitors, but it could have been worse for United, who had Nemanja Vidic sent off, if Liverpool's captain had not missed his third spot-kick of the afternoon.

Google Image
Liverpool are now up to second in the Premier League with a game in hand over leaders Chelsea who they trail by four points and are still to play at Anfield.

Rodgers has previously claimed that the Reds were not in the title race this season and, although he was more positive after the Old Trafford victory, he opted to stay cautious when talking about silverware.

"It's exactly the same," he told Sky Sports. "I think we're a developing side. We're probably a year ahead of where we've been but that's testament to the players and how quickly they're adapting to the methods.

"The biggest difference is that we're believing all the time. You come here, you win 3-0 playing like we did today and it's another statement in terms of where the team is going.

"I repeat (what I said) before, we could win the next nine games and still not win it but certainly our focus now will be to get ready.

"We've got a tough game against Cardiff next week away and it's five games on the spin now. Terrific results against tough opponents and we've just got to keep it going.

"I think that we're coming into a real strong stage of the season. We did the same last year and we're doing the same this year.

"I think as the players work together, the personalities connect, they understand how we want to work. They're improving all the time.

"The beauty of this team is we have a lot of young players that are improving. We remain humble as a team and as a group and we'll manage the expectations.

"The only expectation is to win the next game and that's what we'll look to do. Everyone's got tough games.
"We've had a tough game today, we've done our job and that's all we can concentrate on. If we continue to do that, let's see where it takes us."

The result ensured that Liverpool secured a league double over their bitter rivals and Rodgers was full of praise for his side's display.

"I thought we were outstanding, the dominance in the game was very apparent from the beginning right the way through," he said.

"We obviously created lots of chances, we scored three goals, missed a penalty unfortunately, but we could have had three or four more, so I think we were clearly the dominant team.

"I think as a team, first and foremost, we controlled the ball. I thought in particular in the second half we were better with the ball, combined greater and obviously we're a very aggressive team going forward.

"We set up to defend well and obviously we attack in numbers as well and I think that aggression and confidence in our game is clear to see.

"To come here and to get a result like that and a performance like that is very good. I thought our focus and composure today was very good.

"We've had a terrific season and for 14 or 15 months we've been excellent so to come here, I remember coming here last season and playing okay but Man United were the better team.

"But I think the development in our side was clear today and you could see the players' confidence."

When asked if Daniel Sturridge had dived for the third penalty, Rodgers replied: "I think he certainly hasn't dived."
