Everton handily defeated Liverpool on a night when their Premier League title hopes came to an end. After Arsenal defeated Chelsea 5-0 on Tuesday night, the Reds needed to reply with three points at Goodison Park. Jurgen Klopp’s team’s performance was not entirely negative. They again created numerous opportunities without taking them. But, in reality, they never looked like winning. Individual blunders were the order of the day, with Gary Neville noticing Klopp’s frustration with two of his players throughout the first half. And, at the end of the game, Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher suggested that one of the misfiring…
After rejecting three penalty appeals for Nottingham Forest on Sunday, referee Stuart Attwell was given two more crucial choices in his most recent encounter. Stuart Attwell was involved in another refereeing farce when he took command of Wolves’ game against Bournemouth, only days after his crucial part in Nottingham Forest’s VAR controversy. The official was in the spotlight after denying Forest’s three penalty requests in their 2-0 defeat to Everton on Sunday. The club immediately started an assault, enraged by his VAR appointment considering the ongoing relegation battle with Luton Town, the club he backs. The debate continued at Molineux…
Ben Parker has made his predictions for Leeds United’s trip to Queens Park Rangers tomorrow night. The Whites will try to capitalize on Monday night’s 4-3 success over Middlesbrough by winning consecutive games for the first time since before the international break. With Leicester City’s impressive 5-0 victory over Southampton all but ensuring their promotion, it’s now a two-horse contest for second place between Leeds and Ipswich Town. Leeds is now one point ahead of Ipswich in second place, but they have played one more game. With Daniel Farke’s team playing first this weekend, a win would put extra pressure…
Leeds United are only two games away from regaining promotion to the Premier League, but they are aware that they will need Ipswich to drop points in order to do it. Leicester City’s success last night effectively moves them into the top two for the conclusion of the season, four points ahead of Leeds with only two games remaining. It means Daniel Farke’s team will face Ipswich Town in a very uncomplicated match on May 4 to ensure Leeds are in the top two. Championship table as it currently stands: Then there were three. Southampton’s 5-0 defeat against Leicester does…
Nottingham Forest have taken aim at Stuart Attwell this week, and it’s fair to say that Steve Cooper probably saw it coming. The Reds complained that Attwell, who served as the VAR for Forest’s match against Everton, failed to award three penalties. Forest issued a statement following their 2-0 defeat to the Toffees, wondering if Luton supporter Attwell should have been in the game. Alan Shearer criticized the club’s stance, and UEFA stated yesterday that Attwell will represent England on VAR at Euro 2024. It’s fair to say that the club has had previous disagreements with Attwell, and Cooper bore…
Jamie Shackleton’s Leeds United tenure is almost certainly coming to an end, with a July exit appearing to be certain. The Whites academy graduate began the season as a fixture in Daniel Farke’s squad, filling in at both full-back positions in the absence of natural choices and also playing midfield. But as the season went, Shackleton struggled to find consistent minutes, and injuries caught up with him. Ilia Gruev, Archie Gray, and Glen Kamara have taken over the two defensive midfield positions, with Ethan Ampadu being an integral element of the club, moving to centre-back in Pascal Struijk’s absence, while…
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…
