Perhaps, considering the second https://www.wolverinesprojersey.com/Kenny_Allen_Jersey half performance of Dean Saunders men, the defeatist chant was slightly harsh. However, particularly poignant was the new favourite youre nothing special. We lose every week chant today, as Wolves succumbed to yet another home defeat at the hands of top dog Cardiff.Top dog they may be, but Cardiffs succe s is a damning indictment of the strength it this Championship. As usual, it took nothing particularly special to undo Wolves defensive barrier. A hopeful long throw and a routine set piece gave the league leaders a 2-0 lead.In response to the two goal deficit, Wanderers were McCarthy-esque. Saunders decision to introduce Doyle and Ebanks-Blake was vindicated before Cardiff doubled their advantage; Doyle denied by a fortuitous block after a stunning Sigurdason cro s.Wolves continued to pre s and made Cardiff look thoroughly average at times. An Ebanks-Blake sitter and a couple of bad offside decisions https://www.wolverinesprojersey.com/Taco_Charlton_Jersey put pay to the fight back, but finally we saw a spark. So, the real question is: why the hell did we start with five defenders? What exactly are we defending? Wolves are in the bottom three and need points for survival. Every time we put two up front and give defences something to think about, we look okay.The losing mind set, Im afraid, has taken over. The players looked devoid of quality in the first https://www.wolverinesprojersey.com/Delano_Hill_Jersey half; static off the ball and lethargic when defending space. In the second, busine s did pick up, but it was all still rather hopeful, aimle s https://www.wolverinesprojersey.com/Jake_Ryan_Jersey , not the work of a team that had much of a plan.From the perspective of a centre midfielder the situation is perilous. When Wolves won this league, Karl Henry saw a very different pitch to the one he sees now when he looks up to find a pa s. Wingers racing into the channels, Iwelumo offering a direct approach, full backs pushed up ahead of him, fellow midfielder ten yards in advance.Now, we see a flat four behind him, OHara on top of him, wingers hiding behind markers, and a striker (God knows who they will be on any given day), stood static looking for balls into feet so they can https://www.wolverinesprojersey.com/Jaaron_Simmons_Jersey lay it off to no one.Its a depre sing time. At least we saw flashes of a former-self in todays second half. That is all we have to cling onto right now.

The past week has seen Wayne Rooney come under a lot of stick and led to many believing that he should be sold by Man United. Much of the stick has come under the claim that he isnt world cla s and never will be.Rooney shouldnt leave United and he is wrongly being a labelled a scapegoat for their problems. The real problem at United is not Rooney. The past couple of years has seen Rooney switching from a number 9 type striker to a now number 10 creative player. Rooney has had an unlucky season with a couple of injuries ruling him out but when that doesnt mean he hasnt been effective. In 20 premier league appearances https://www.protexansshop.com/marcus-cannon-jerseys Rooney has scored 11 goals and made 9 a sists. Robin Van Persie has scored 8 more goals with 8 more appearances and made 1 le s a sist. All this shows is that Van Persie has had more game time and is a natural number 9 striker. When you compare Rooneys https://www.protexansshop.com/isaac-yiadom-jerseys stats to other creative players hes leading the a sists chart and scored more goals than other similar players such as Juan Mata, David Silva and Eden Hazard. All three of those players play in a similar position behind the striker which is a role that Rooney now occupies. Statistically then Rooney is a better player, yet those clubs fans seem more desperate to hold onto their number 10 type players.The problem at United is not Rooney. The problem for United is that they havent got players on the wings who are adequate enough for United. This season United have relied on Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia and Nani for wingers that are supposed to provide a sists for strikers and score goals in a similar way that we see Gareth Bale, Ronaldo and Arjen Robben do for their respective teams. Ashley Young has scored no goals and contributed 3 a sists, Valencia has scored no goals and contributed with 4 a sists and Nani has scored 1 goal while contributed with 2 a sists. Those 3 players combined who are supposed to be wingers have contributed with le s goals and a sists then Wayne Rooney. Yet we dont see many people calling for them to go.United can only push forward and compete for a full complement of trophies next season https://www.protexansshop.com/whitney-mercilus-jerseys if they have at least one world cla s winger to add to a squad that looks almost world cla s in the rest of the positions, with the exception of Evra(dont get me started there). Some might think its OK because Zaha will be a United player next https://www.protexansshop.com/laremy-tunsil-jerseys season and hes the next Ronaldo but hes 20, has no premier league experience and wont become world cla s in a day. This summer United need to sell at least one of their wingers and replace him with a winger actually worthy of winning trophies for united that he will contribute to. The obvious suggestions would be Ronaldo and Bale and it wouldnt be far-fetched to suggest that they could be United players next season. Gareth Bale is valued at about 50 million and currently on average wages for a player of his ability. If United were to sell either Nani or Young(preferably both) they would be able to afford Gareth Bale easily as contrary to opinions, they are not a club that needs to worry about debts or FFP with https://www.protexansshop.com/tae-davis-jerseys a commercial income like theirs. Gareth Bale would definitely expand united as is shown by his 16 goals in the premier league so far. Ronaldo is a no brainer; he would improve United by a country mile and is worth the sacrifice of an average winger like Nani, Young or Valencia. However money may be an i sue considering hes the most expensive player in the world and one of the highest earners in football. Ronaldo has said though that he is unhappy and is yet to sign a new contract that will run out in a couple of years so a forced move from Madrid could be likely and he would be welcomed back with open arms.If a change like this were to be made United would stroll towards another treble and Rooney would be one of the reasons behind it, not a hindrance.

In a shocking turn of events, yesterday Romelu Lukaku has completed a move to Manchester United after months of speculation that he was on the verge of a move back to Chelsea. The Belgian comes to Old Trafford for 75m with 15m in add ons signing a 5 year deal, which has to make him as the main striker for the club going forward. He completed his medical https://www.probillsshop.com/jordan-phillips-jerseys over the weekend and then the deal was officially confirmed by the club a short while later. Chelsea matched the offer and terms of the deal offered to the Belgian by United, however, Chelsea werent willing to offer as much to Lukakus agent (and coincidentally Paul Pogbas agent) Mino Raiola. The deal signed does include the option for a sixth year which further signifies that he will be staying in Manchester for a long time.Romelu said it was the opportunity of a lifetime and one that I couldnt turn down. Also, he confirmed what has been speculated on for a while now which is that Pogba had a big role in him coming to the club. The pair had been training together in LA for a few days, with Romelu on holiday and Pogba on Man Uniteds tour there.Everton make a huge profit on a player that really everyone knew would go on to bigger and better things, rather than stay at Goodison Park for the rest of his career. He spent the 2012-13 season on loan at WBA, then the following season on loan at Goodison, then completed a permanent move to Merseyside in the summer of 2014 for 28m, becoming the clubs then record signing. He hasnt disappointed in an Everton shirt with the entire side revolving around his presence spearheading their attacks for the past 4 years. It comes as no surprise that a hefty profit has been made on his sale, but it wasnt anticipated the fee would have been this large. 47m. Mourinho sold him to Everton when he was Chelsea bo s, but it appears there is no hard feelings.Romelu Lukaku started as a promising youngster at Anderlecht in 2009 when he was only 16 years old. Over 2 seasons in the Belgian Pro League he netted 31 times in 70 appearances, hardly shabby for any striker let alone a teenager. He was a player that has always been physically superior to his peers, which meant he could play several years above his age group. As a child he always wanted to emulate his idol Didier https://www.probillsshop.com/damar-hamlin-jerseys Drogba, hence his love of Chelsea. This excellent form with Anderlecht caught Chelseas eye so they swooped in for him. He cost the club 10m and signed a 5 year deal, which was a dream come true as he stated before that he wanted to become a Chelsea legend, much like Drogba. However, he couldnt force his way into Andre Villas Boas plans due to the likes of Strurridge, Drogba and Torres. Due to the fact that he wasnt playing, Lukaku didnt even lift the Champions League trophy as he didnt feel likehe was a winner.This meant he was on the fringes all season, but he wasnt prepared for a repeat of it the following season.He pushed for a loan move to a fellow Premier League club in order to prove his worth in the league. As a result he ended up moving to the Hawthorns despite previous reports of a move to Fulham, which would undoubtedly have been easier purely due to the location. Lukaku endeared himself with the WBA faithful instantly with the 3rd goal in a 3-0 rout at home to Liverpool, although it was Geras goal that stole the headlines. His first showing at the Hawthorns was full of tenacity, pace and power. A chant was soon made for him he comes from Stamford Bridge and hes bigger than a fridge, Lukaku, woah, Lukaku, woah. His next league goal came in the home https://www.probillsshop.com/dawson-knox-jerseys win against Reading to earn the club another 3 points, great start. Another notable goal is the one at Anfield that sealed a memorable 3 points. The Belgian scored a further 14 goals to the others aforementioned.Lukaku proved to be so influential that the club havent surpa sed the height of the 2012-13 finishing 8th with 49 points. As a result, he is best player I have seen in an Albion shirt. Older Baggies would point to Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham and Tony Brown but they are all before my time. Lukaku is the clubs most prolific striker in a single PL season, and it doesnt seem that record will be topped in the foreseeable future.Odemwingie was left out as https://www.probillsshop.com/matt-haack-jerseys the best he scored was 15 ina single season, although overall he has scored (due to length of his stay at the club) more than the Belgian.He scored so many goals that despite the fact a loan is meant to be for the reason you wont improve your parent clubs side just yet, he outscored all of his Chelsea teammates, with the closest as Frank Lampard who netted 15 times. As a result, it was justifiable to a sume that he would go marching in to the Chelsea eleven the following season but it wasnt to be. Chelsea decided to send him out on loan again after only a couple of games for Chelsea at the start of the season. If you remember he didnt exactly impre s Jose after he mi sed the deciding penalty which gifted the Supercup to Bayern Munich.As he had a rapport with Albion, they were the favourites to re-sign him but he ultimately plumped for Everton. Everton were obviously a step up from Albion which is another sign he had determination to improve with the end game in mind of becoming a Chelsea legend. He couldnt quite match his tally of the previous season but 15 goals isnt a bad return. His performance in the Mereseyside derby at Goodison in that season was sensational, scoring twicein the stunning game that ended 3-3.Roberto Martinez built how the team played around Lukaku despite him only being on loan. Naismith or Barkley in the number 10 role provided plenty of service either via through balls or moving off the ball to create enough space for the striker to do what he does best, score. Whilst his hold up play left a lot to be desired (and still does to this day) the goals he scored in crucial games more than made up for it. Evertons season finished with them in 5th place with 72 points, which is often the requisite amount of points to qualify for the Champions League.On the back of this https://www.probillsshop.com/tyler-matakevich-jerseys outstanding season, Roberto Martinez thought it was of the utmost importance to bring Lukaku back to Goodison Park. It was quite clear from Chelseas perspective that they had another forward who would lead their line instead of Lukaku, Diego Costa. This left Lukaku with no other choice, since he wanted first team football, but to leave and it went without question that Everton were the firm favourites. The only genuine stumbling block with regards to the transfer would be if Bill Kenwright was willing to spend enough cash to bring him in. 30m was the kind of money asked for by Chelsea, but since it was abundantly clear to the club that he was so vital to their succe s the money was forked out.Mourinho said on selling Lukaku, he wanted to play for Chelsea but he clearly wanted to be first choice striker but for

Both Real Madrid and Malaga were equally shocked when La Liga winning captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas was dropped and instead replaced with second-choice goalkeeper Antonio Adan. Real Madrid went on to lose 3-2 away to Malaga at La Rosaleda falling 16 points behind leaders Barcelona.This however has caused many misinterpretation in https://www.proeaglesshop.com/mike-golic-jerseys the media world.There has been a lot of pre sure on Mourinho from the fans https://www.proeaglesshop.com/brian-westbrook-jerseys following the poor performance of the club this season. However Mourinho dropped a bombshell on us when he dropped Casillas, a back-to-back European Championship winning Captain from the starting line-up.

Sergio Ramos was also a victim when he https://www.proeaglesshop.com/darius-slay-jr-jerseys was dropped from the squad that would face Manchester City in their CL clash. Mourinho is well known for his strong personality and his rather shocking decisions when it comes to players.

Arsenal have had a stand out season https://www.justshopgiants.com/darius-slayton-jerseys so far, sitting in 1st place and getting all the required points to just stay ahead of the chasing pack. Yet a lot of pundits seem to be tipping the likes of Chelsea and Man City to be champions this season?This year has been a stand out season all round, neither clear relegation or Champion favourite. I can see why the steer is towards Man City, their goal to game ratio is in the realms of Barcelona and there fluid football is just showing how much a change to the right manager can make.For Arsenal to take the league this year need to re-enforce in one or maybe two strikers. There is too much heavy reliance on Olivier Giroud and the back up strikers in Nicklas Bendtner, Yaya Sanago and Park Chu-Young do not have either the experience or talent to carry the Gunners to the top spot. So how can Mr Wenger tilt the scales in his favour?Karim Benzema is supposed to be one of the best strikers on the scene at the moment but for me he https://www.justshopgiants.com/kadarius-toney-jerseys has not set the world alight. He has not really proven himself to be a world cla s striker in the same vain as Me si, Ronaldo etc. The temptation here is a deadly strike force combination with Giroud backed by ex Real Madrid play maker Ozil. The final off-putting aspect of Benzema is the price tag he may carry. Wayne Rooney was on Arsenals radar at one point and with recent news speculation that he will not re-sign with United, he may very well be an option. He would https://www.justshopgiants.com/new-york-giants-pet-gear bring strength and more depth to the Arsenal team. He is both a playmaker and goal scorer and dropping behind Giroud would be devastating. The problem with this one is that I doubt Man Utd will let him go in this transfer window and with Real Madrid beckoning in summer, would he want to go now?Dimitar Berbatov is another name that has been around the houses for Arsenal to sign. He is clearly unhappy at Fulham and is probably looking for that last big payday before he sees out his career somewhere like the states. Motivation seems to be always an i sue that crops up but he may excel under a top club spotlight. Bringing in Berbatov may have a negative effect on a team that is riding high at the moment, so he may not be a good ideaAlvaro Morata seems a very good fit for the Gunners. The 21 year old Spanish https://www.justshopgiants.com/lorenzo-carter-jerseys forward is an emerging talent which could hit world cla s status if under Wengers wing. He is already second in the pecking order of strikers at Real Madrid and with a promise of more games might be tempted to come to Arsenal in a loan move. This would also give Wenger a try before you buy option.Other strikers have been mentioned in the pre s including Mandzukic, Rodrigo, Vucinic, Draxler and a laughable rumour of the return of Van-Persie means that they have a lot of options to consider. I tip Arsenal for top of the table if they can secure another striker of quality. https://www.justshopgiants.com/new-york-giants-hoodies-sweatshirts If not then the light blue tank of Man City will keep rumbling forward.

Gameweek 10 of the Premier League did not present any major surprises but the VAR continued to remain a talking point after denying Arsenal the winning goal against Crystal Palace. Elsewhere, Liverpool and Manchester City continued their winning ways at https://www.justshopfalcons.com/deion-sanders-t-shirts the top of the table while Manchester United ended their four-match winle s run in the top-flight.Three things we learned from Gameweek 10:Arsenal losing the plot under Unai Emery: The Gunners scored two goals through Sokratis and David Luiz in the against Crystal Palace and they seemed on course for a comfortable victory at the Emirates Stadium. However, they https://www.justshopfalcons.com/james-vaughters-jerseys lacked the defensive concentration thereafter and were pegged back twice by the Eagles before the hour mark. The north London side did score a late goal through Sokratis but that was cancelled through the VAR after Calum Chambers was adjudged to have fouledLuka Milivojevic for the faintest of challenges while trying to win the ball. The Gunners may have suffered just one defeat from the past 11 games but the pre sure is getting on to Emery with the fans far from pleased with the teams performances over the course of 90 minutes.Manchester United return to winning ways: The Red Devils won their first league game in more than a month as they picked up a over Norwich City away from home. The result meant that they were able to end their dismal away run in the top-flight and were able to register their first away league win since February. Elsewhere, United scored more https://www.justshopfalcons.com/calvin-ridley-jerseys than one goal in a game for the first time since the curtain-raiser against Chelsea but they should have still won by a greater margin. Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial squandered their first-half penalties and that should pose a concern for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, given the club have converted just two of their five spot- https://www.justshopfalcons.com/deion-sanders-jerseys kicks in the Premier League this season. Liverpool pa s another big-game test: Jurgen Klopps side made their worst start to their Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur after Harry Kane scored with a header after just 47 seconds on the clock. However, they managed to come up with a strong fightback in the second period and goals from Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah sealed the comeback triumph. Despite the victory, the Merseyside outfit need to cut down on the occasional mistakes in the defence and one of them nearly cost them. Heung-min Son appeared destined to score after beating goalkeeper https://www.justshopfalcons.com/josh-harris-jerseys Ali son but he only managed to hit the woodwork. The Reds are currently six points ahead of City at the top of the standings and they have just one more league game against Aston Villa before facing each other at Anfield.

Although they are hardly the most aesthetic team in the Premier League, and divide the opinions of football fans nationwide; one thing Stoke City cannot be accused of is lacking is a gameplan. Like them or lump them (excuse the pun) it does not take a long time to fathom their approach to football. Set-pieces, cro ses and a rigid shape from a robust back four and midfield when defending are their https://www.justshop49ers.com/elijah-mitchell-jerseys mantras. Stoke are dubbed pragmatic and unpleasant at a comparable rate, but no-one accuse them of lacking a philosophy on football, however infuriating purists find it.QPR, on the other hand, the team on receiving end of Saturdays 1-0 score-line in the potteries, seem devoid of any sort of strategy whatsoever. Stoke may have no plan B, but Mark Hughes side have no salient style of play at all. Their line-up on Saturday was a collection of technicians and journeyman with about as much as unity as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Its not that QPRs individual players are nece sarily any worse than Stokes, but the fundamental difference is that where Stoke have method, QPR have madne s.A quick glance at the two sides summer recruitment is shining evidence of this. Each one of Tony Pulis major signings have contributed to one of Stokes aforementioned mantras. Charlie Adam provides quality delivery from set-pieces, Steven N https://www.justshop49ers.com/joe-montana-hoodies-sweatshirts Zonzi provides physicality while protecting the back four and Michael Kightly can deliver cro ses to the likes Crouch and Walters from wide areas.Summer recruitment at QPR seemed to involve plundering round Europe desperately seeking unwanted players. Ji Sung Park, Ryan Nelsen and Andrew Johnson were all once solid performers, yet anyone who believes their best days (on a football pitch) are still to come, is nave in the extreme. QPRs farcical transfer policy is perhaps best summed by the two signings in particular (well three to be precise.) After luring Rob Green away from West Ham with a lavish two-year-deal, Rangers then bizarrely snapped up Julio Cesar on the eve of the transfer deadline. Is Cesar a better goalkeeper? Yes. Is Rob Green a capable enough goalkeeper for a team with designs https://www.justshop49ers.com/nick-mullens-jerseys on finishing mid-table in the Premier League? Yes. Will the difference between Green and Cesar make a significant impact on QPRs season? No.Similarly baffling was the decision to sign Jose Bosingwa, another player unanimously declared over-the-hill. Furthermore with Nedum Onouha already at the club, it seems totally unnece sary to devote significant wage funds to a player in the same position. Of course this accusation is equally applicable to the signing of Cesar.Probably QPRs best signing is Esteban Granero a player https://www.justshop49ers.com/ronnie-lott-jerseys of unquestionable ability, although again an air of exce s surrounds the transfer. A look up the Premier League table sees not just Stoke, but West Ham and West Brom; who made few extravagant summer signings, however all these teams look poised to have markedly better season than QPR. This again stems from the root of all QPRs problems this season: no apparent strategy.Where Stoke, West Ham and West Brom all have a structure and pattern of play which suits their players, QPR do not. Considering how Mark Hughes early managerial succe ses with Wales and Blackburn revolved around organisation, this is all the more surprising. His ill-informed judgement to build a team around perpetual enigmas Adel Taraabt and Djibril Ci se, has raised eyebrows but not league position.And with a roster of players including Nelsen, Bobby Zamora, Samba Diakhite, Taraabt, Granero and the interchangeably named David/Junior Hoilett; one is left puzzled as to whether Hughes wants his team to be extremely technical or extremely physical.Both would probably be Hughes response. Someone should probably inform Hughes that only exceptional teams can marry these two traits succe sfully. And under https://www.justshop49ers.com/san-francisco-49ers-jerseys Hughes stewardship look an increasingly long way off becoming one of those.
