Just before his first game as Newcastle manager, Eddie Howe was revealed to have tested positive for COVID-19. In his absence, his assistant Jason Tindall called the shots, and Newcastle drew 3-3 against Brentford at St. James’ Park. The thrilling match swayed in both directions before ending in a draw due to a 75th-minute equaliser for Newcastle. It is hard to imagine that Howe would have had an easy time back in his hotel room when the match was underway. Having set up the team to a 3-4-3 formation, Howe deserves some credit in his team’s performance, having played the attacking game to perfection, something that their fans had waited to witness for a long time. This was only the second time in the season that the Magpies had managed to achieve a possession average of over 50 percent. To Newcastle’s credit, they have quality players in their forward areas, with Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Joelinton proving to be star performers for their side. However, the problem wit...

  After losing a job, most football managers remain vague while answering questions on their next move, because to be honest, there is no guarantee whether there will be the next move or not.   However, there are a few exceptions to this. A prime example is Dean Smith, who took up the top job at Norwich, after being sacked from Aston Villa, within eight days. This unexpected news was greeted with surprise as many were still debating the justification behind his sacking. A few factors might have led to this development, one of which was the perception that he could have an immediate impact at a dwindling club mainly seen as relegation fodder. Moreover, his willingness to jump right back into Premier League action was also fundamental to his return. Frank Lampard is another such football manager linked with every top job since his departure from Chelsea. The media was rife with speculations about his name being considered for the Norwich and Newcastle managerial positions, b...

Aston Villa had been expected to perform extremely well after excellent recruitment in the summer transfer window. Even though the Villans sold their talisman Jack Grealish to Manchester City for £100 million, the signings of Leon Bailey, Emiliano Buendía, Danny Ings, Axel Tuanzebe, and more in summer 2021 made fans hope for a brighter future and higher league finishes. However, the start of the 2021-22 season has been quite rough for Villa as they parted ways with the manager, Dean Smith and appointed former Rangers manager and Liverpool legend, Steven Gerard. Gerrard’s name carries more weight than Smith’s, partially because of the way he took to management in his maiden role but mainly because of his playing exploits. With Danny Ings as the main striker, Ollie Watkins started playing in either a wide position or as a striker of the bench in Dean Smith’s 4-2-3-1 formation. Jack Grealish’s absence from the team has left a major hole in the attack which Gerard needs to revolutionis...

Losing 4-1 to Watford was the final straw that resulted in the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjær. While he had been very fortunate not to lose his job after losses to both Liverpool and Manchester City at Old Trafford, the defeat at Vicarage Road broke the camel’s back. Michael Carrick will be in charge while United searches for an interim manager to manage the team until the end of the season. This is a rather strange approach for the club to be taking. It appears to indicate the likely targets will not be available until the summer. Here are five of the top names in consideration to be the next permanent Manchester United manager: Mauricio Pochettino While United might have missed out on Pochettino once before, they might be determined to avoid making the same mistake again. Pochettino has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2023 but it is possible the Ligue 1 giants would allow him to move on in the summer. While they are on track to win the title in 2021-22, there are stil...

At one time in the previous season, it seemed that all was lost for David Moyes’ West Ham, and they wouldn’t be able to qualify for the Champions League yet another time. West Ham failed to qualify for the Champions League by only two points despite the relative weakness of the top six squads and other favourable circumstances. It was said that they had missed out on a great opportunity, perhaps their best chance yet to take their team to the next level. However, things have been different this season, with West Ham building upon their strengths of the last season, and it seems that they have managed to salvage another shot at qualification. After the completion of eight rounds of the 2021/2022 Premier League, they need just one point to be in the top four. Although they won 1-0 against Everton, the coach was rather displeased at the manner of victory, believing that they didn’t play to their full potential. West Ham is considered one of the best coached teams in the Premier Leag...
