What Players Should Arsenal Sell this Summer?

The last three-four years were disappointing for Arsenal as they were unable to perform in the Champions League, and this season they are entirely out of European competition. Arsenal is under a lot of pressure after the underperformance of their players and their lack of form.   Gunners could not perform in the 2020-2021 season, and Arsenal disappointed everyone by underperforming continuously for many seasons. Arsenal aims to be in the best teams of the league again, for which they have to sell some players as per the performance. Let us have a look at players Arsenal is looking to sell this season:   Eddie Nketiah   Nketiah was given his first-ever start as he came off the bench to net two goals in a 3-2 victory for Arsenal over Norwich City at Carrow Road. Nketiah is exceptionally talented, but with Arsenal having so many options, it's hard to see him breaking into the team consistently unless he has an incredible run of form.   As per the fans of...

Players who joined rival clubs in the Premier League

Rivalries are a major part of the Premier League, and derby matches bring out the fiercest emotions from fans, players, and even the coaches. Bitter rivalries among teams and their supporters can intensify for several reasons but when a player switches allegiance, it is considered an unpardonable sin. Let us have a look at some of these players who have flirted with danger and faced immense backlash for their actions.   Abel Xavier (Everton to Liverpool) The Merseyside derby has never witnessed something as extraordinary as the transfer of Abel Xavier from Everton to Liverpool that too in the same season. Needless to say, people weren’t happy with the Portuguese defender for leaving Goodison Park for Anfield in 2002. However, the ordeal didn’t last long as he shifted base to Bundesliga, playing for Hannover 96, within a year.   Ashley Cole (Arsenal to Chelsea) The cross-London rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea is a much celebrated one in the Premier League. ...

What does the future hold for Donny Van de Beek at Manchester United?

Manchester United has often had successful transfers, especially when it comes to bringing in new players to the team. However, there are instances when the board and owners are not thinking along the same lines as the manager and a prime example of that is the arrival of Donny Van de Beek. The promising 24-year-old who was recently transferred from Ajax has managed to play only 520 minutes in the last 20 league games for Manchester United. He is a talented midfielder, but the problem does not lie with his qualities but whether he fits with the manager’s plan for the team or not. Although Van de Beek played as a deep midfielder for the Dutch League, he has been unable to find a solid footing in that role for Manchester United as they are not set up to be a possession-based team. His former team, Ajax plays with a high tempo and is known for their passing and quick movement, something that is absent in Manchester United. In addition to that, he seems to be the right fit for the number...

Has Gabriel Jesus found His Right Place At Manchester City?

Manchester City drubbed Norwich City 5-0 in a recent game and the credit largely rests with Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus. Until recently, Jesus was in a make-or-break situation, with his future in Manchester City in doubt. All this changed in the previous game, where he outperformed the expectations and scored twice. Many hopes have been pinned on Gabriel Jesus, who has been in and out of headlines, owing to his inability to maintain his position as a centre forward. After the departure of Sergio Agüero from Manchester City, Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus was seen as his natural heir. Agüero’s success as the striker of Manchester City is remarkable and many expectations were set on Jesus to continue the legacy. Manchester City was looking for a striker as a replacement for Agüero, and it was initially believed that Jesus would fit right in. However, contrary to expectations, Gabriel Jesus never really cemented his position in the team. Other players were considered, and it seem...

Which Premier League Teams Have the Highest Morale Going into The International Break?

International breaks help national and domestic teams to plan for the movement of their top players.   These players will participate in different international tournaments during this period. The Premier League, right now, has been paused for an international break and will resume from 11 th September. Clubs want to maintain high morale going into an international game and there are a few of them that have managed to do so. Let’s have a closer look at these teams. Tottenham Hotspur The Spurs are on a roll. Having won all three of their opening three matches has been a great boost for the side. Moreover, all matches have been clean sheets that go to show their impeccable form and performance in the Premier League so far. They are currently placed at the top of the table. There is a lot yet to achieve in the remainder of the league but so far, Tottenham Hotspur has been produced a strong side to make their presence felt. Manchester City Manchester City started off Premier...

Can Liverpool Mount A Title Challenge In The 2021/22 Premier League Season?

Former Champions Liverpool had a forgettable previous season. Although it is a top-class side with many experienced players, Liverpool has not been able to capitalize on its strengths and deliver a convincing performance in the Premier League. Fans are expecting a comeback in the 2021/22 season will be an uphill task for the team and its manager, Jürgen Klopp. The poor performance of the club was mostly linked to the spate of injuries among its players last year. This season, the club has been somewhat sidelined in the pre-season predictions due to many reasons. One of these is the massive spending by clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea who are far superior in their financial abilities. Another concern for the club is the lack of form of the Front 3, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané, and Roberto Firmino. They are approaching 30 and do not show the form and energy they used to display in the previous seasons of the Premier League. There have been calls to break up the trio for good, whi...

Can Arsenal Turn their 2021/22 Premier League Season Around?

Arsenal had a very poor start to the season as they lost their opening three games. Gunners lost 2-0 to Brentford on an opening day, while they lost 2-0 again to the European champions, Chelsea last week. This weekend Arsenal lost 5-0 to Manchester City at the Etihad after going down to ten men. Mikel Arteta admitted himself turning Arsenal’s fortunes around will “take some time” and urged supporters to get behind the team. The team sits last in the table (20 th ) without a single score and conceding 9 goals. Meanwhile, their local rivals Tottenham Hotspur sit at the top of the league on 9 points, with 3 wins in 3 matches. Arsenal also failed to qualify for any European competition after the finish in the 8 th last season. Some fans theorized that since the club doesn’t have any European matches this season, they could improve the league position from last season. However, the gunners have had a poor start to the season, seeing three defeats in the opening three matches for the fi...

Mikel Arteta: What does Arsenal hold for him after the Premier League 2021/22 Season?

Arsenal is in bad shape and hitting bottom in this PremierLeague season. This season Arsenal had the worst start in 67 years, and the onus of failed performance is on Arteta. Currently, Arsenal is worried about the leadership and competency of Mikel Arteta. He quit Man City to take charge of the Gunners in December 2019 after the club thrashed 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Mikel Arteta started facing the pressure after Arsenal's disappointing loss in the last two matches of the Premier League season. First, Arsenal lost against the newly promoted Brentford in the campaign's curtain-raiser, then at home to Chelsea by the same score. Arsenal's supporters are disheartened by the results of the match and how players performed. Many reports are pointing towards Arteta for the unexpected performance of Arsenal. He lacked courage in his convictions and made Arsenal play in the way they simply cannot. Even after the goalkeeper, Bernd Leno showed discomfort with the ball at his fe...
