Wayne Rooney praised Leeds United loanee Jack Harrison for his defensive work rate following Everton’s 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Goodison Park on Wednesday. The Leeds loanee started the Merseyside Derby and had a strong effect off the right wing under Sean Dyche. Harrison and Ben Godfrey were able to hold off Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez in the opening half. Former Everton player Rooney expressed his admiration for the wide man during a Sky Sports Main Event interview. He remarked, “Harrison, not so much with the ball, but the effort he’s put in to double up and help out.…

Keith Wyness, Everton’s former manager, feels Nottingham Forest’s four-point deduction will not be amended. Speaking on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old, who was CEO at Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009 and now operates a football consultancy advising elite teams, said that Forest’s sentence would remain the same despite their appeal. Nottingham Forest were fined four points for violating the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs). The ruling is presently being appealed, but Wyness believes the appeal at City Ground will be unsuccessful. Wyness reports the outcome of the Nottingham Forest points deduction…
Alan Brazil and Ally McCoist have disagreed on whether Leeds United would gain automatic promotion to the Premier League after Leicester City defeated Southampton on Tuesday (23 April). The Foxes made a strong statement after defeating fellow promotion contenders Southampton 5-0 at the King Power Stadium, increasing their lead over the Whites to four points at the top of the table. Ipswich Town has a game in hand over the other two clubs, and it appears like the Whites will compete with the Tractor Boys for the second automatic position. Brazil said on talkSPORT on Wednesday (24 April, 6:23am): “It…
Liverpool has seen some of the best players in history come through the club throughout the years. From the all-conquering 1980s team to Jurgen Klopp’s latest Champions League and Premier League victories. Liverpool, one of Europe’s most decorated teams, has a long history of genuinely outstanding players. Some of them even make their way into Klopp’s current first-team group. Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson Becker will be remembered as some of the greatest football players of all time. However, while the Reds currently have several incredibly talented players on their roster, they cannot compare to the previous generation.…
Leeds United were unprepared for their promotion to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa in a variety of areas, including the playing team, backroom personnel, and behind the scenes. One of those concerns has been resolved, since there are now multiple players in the transfer department, when previously, Victor Orta had complete control over who was signed and who departed the club. It was Orta’s style, and there was little competition to oppose him. Leeds now has Nick Hammond, Gretar Steinsson, and Jordan Miles, with the latter joining the club from Aberdeen in February following links. Another area is Elland…
Leeds United reignited their hopes of automatic promotion and an immediate return to the Premier League on Monday night, but Georginio Rutter’s play is becoming a source of concern. Leeds rallied from behind to win 4-3 at The Riverside in front of Luke Ayling, who is on loan at Middlesbrough. A important win saw Leeds overtake Ipswich to second place in the Championship. Since then, Leicester has, of course, placed both hands on the Championship trophy without lifting it aloft. A 5-0 victory over Southampton puts them four points ahead with two games remaining. Leeds will need every player to…

Another day, another devastating charge against Stuart Attwell, but this one is the most aggravating for Nottingham Forest supporters. It is now Wednesday, and the three penalty decisions that the Reds did not receive on Sunday continue to bite. Unlike Forest’s assertion, Attwell did not cheat, but he is officially outing himself as being terribly incompetent. Forest went all out with the appointment of a reputed Luton fan for such an important game in the relegation battle. Alan Shearer and Micah Richards both criticized Forest’s initial comments following the final. At this point, however, the entire situation is a farce,…
Southampton appear to be headed for the play-offs after Leicester’s crushing victory, leaving Leeds United and Ipswich Town to battle for second place. Russell Martin claimed his Southampton side went into’self-preservation mode’ during their humiliating 5-0 defeat at Leicester City. Southampton suffered a disastrous night at the King Power Stadium, falling six points behind Leeds United with only two games remaining. Leicester winger Abdul Fatawu was the night’s hat-trick hero, with Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy also scoring on a fantastic evening for the hosts. From Southampton’s perspective, all of Leicester’s goals were avoidable, and their lack of urgency resulted…
Liverpool have reportedly chosen Arne Slot from Feyenoord to be their new manager. Slot did not appear to be a strong contender to succeed Jurgen Klopp as manager this summer.

Finding a successor for Jurgen emphasizes that the great guy is truly going. And, while he’s clearly a great coach, there are some doubts that the jump up will be too much…
