      Jonas Eidevall says choice to leave Arsenal was ‘incredibly difficult’ and reflects on relationship with club’s fans

      by

      JONAS EIDEVALL reckons leaving Arsenal was an “incredibly difficult decision” following his departure from the club last October. The head coach, 41, who was yesterday confirmed as the new boss of San Diego Wave, believes his relationship with Gunners fans had soured. Jonas Eidevall felt his relationship with Arsenal fans was like “a cloud hanging” over towards the end of his time in charge of their women’s teamCredit: GettyEidevall has returned to coaching in top-flight football and has been confirmed as the new boss of NWSL side San Diego WaveCredit: GettyEidevall’s reflections follow the USA-based women’s team formally announcing his appointment three months after he resigned as manager of Arsenal’s WSL side. The Sweden-bon coach stood down after a reign of just over three years following a run of tough results in the top tier earlier this season and a hefty group stage defeat in the Champions League. A three-game winless run in the WSL at the Emirates along with a 5-2 loss to Bayern Munich away in Europe saw Eidevall come under pressure from Gunners supporters. While he led the team to back-to-back League Cup wins in 2023 and 2024, a 2-1 home loss to Chelsea on October 12 last year was followed by him resigning from his role three days later. Read More Football StoriesEidevall told Sky Sports: “I had decided personally before that Chelsea game that it would be the best decision for me to step away. “What I saw was a team that was only missing small details, but I saw at that moment my relationship with the supporters was like a cloud hanging over. “We needed to find a quick way to remove that cloud. “It was an incredibly difficult decision for me to take, because you have a part of you that wants to be a fighter and prove doubters wrong – that’s what I’ve been doing my whole career.”Most read in FootballEidevall reckons the decision to allow Vivianne Miedema to leave the club last May may have been a factor in the shift in relationship with Arsenal’s fans. The Netherlands forward, currently the WSL’s all-time top goalscorer, joined title-chasing Man City as a free agent last July, after seven years with the Gunners. Chloe Kelly shows off her toned abs in very bold outfit as England Lionesses star attends MTV Europe Music AwardsThe departure of a player, who was a firm fan favourite, left scores of the club’s followers dismayed. Eidevall adds: “It was evident I lost quite a lot of my relationship with the supporters when we decided not to renew Miedema’s contract. “All in all it was a decision that played hard on me but that’s life sometimes.”Following Eidevall departure, Arsenal’s have had an upturn in form under stand-in boss Renee Slegers. The team went 11 games unbeaten in the WSL and Europe and topped their Champions League group with a 3-2 home defeat of Bayern in their final game of last year. The Gunners, who face Bristol City this Sunday in the Women’s FA Cup, have conceded just five goals since Slegers first match at the helm on October 16. And Eidevall hopes Arsenal’s interim boss who was his assistant manager at the club will continue in her role on a longer term basis. Eidevall says Arsenal’s performances and results under Renee Slegers have made him pleasedCredit: GettyThe San Diego Wave boss told Swedish sports news outlet Aftonbladet: “I experience Renée as a great leader with a good foundation of values, strong football knowledge. READ MORE SUN STORIES”It makes me very happy to see the good results and performance that she, the team and the coaching team have put together. “I really hope that they see the possibility that they will be allowed to continue.” More

      ‘Obviously doesn’t do the defensive one’ – Jamie Redknapp takes savage dig at Arsenal set piece coach live on Sky Sports

      by

      JAMIE REDKNAPP hit out at Arsenal’s set-piece coach Nicolas Jover after the Gunners’ Carabao Cup loss to Newcastle. The Sky Sports pundit questioned “nonsensical” tactics from Mikel Arteta’s men in Tuesday’s semi-final defeat.Jamie Redknapp was not impressed with the Gunners defensive work against NewcastleCredit: GettyThe Sky pundit singled out set-piece coach Nicolas JoverCredit: GettyArsenal went behind in the 37th minute at the Emirates as Aleksander Isak continued his rich vein of form.The Toon forward pounced on a loose ball in the box after the Gunners failed to clear a routine set piece. Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka lumped a long ball forward which was headed on by Sven Botman. Jacob Murphy was unable to control the ricochet, but Isak took the ball off his foot and smashed into the roof of the net after holding off Martin Odegaard. READ MORE ON ARSENALThe Gunners have a dedicated set-piece coach in Jover, who has been credited with increasing their attacking threat at corners over recent seasons. But Redknapp was unimpressed with how Arsenal set up to defend the free kick on Tuesday – and questioned why Odegaard was tasked with defending 6ft3in Isak. Redknapp told Sky Sports: “The set piece coach gets a lot of credit he obviously doesn’t do the defensive one”Because how you can have Odegaard marking him, he’s the best centre forward in the country now, you’ve got to say, where is, let’s mark him. Odegaard’s got no interest in marking him. Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS”He just gets into a really good position – if you’re doing something – look at Alexander Isak, he’s the wrong side of Odegaard. Someone’s got to take responsibility. “I know Newcastle are a big side, but Arsenal are a big side. Mikel Arteta bizarrely appears to blame Carabao Cup BALL for Arsenal’s missed chances as trophy drought set to continue”You cannot have the best centre forward in the country in that much space. It’s nonsensical to me.”Redknapp’s Sky colleague and former Arsenal star Theo Walcott was in agreement.And the ex-England star believes the Gunners are becoming to fixate on looking for set pieces. Walcott said: “With Arsenal, at this moment in time, what worries me is they’re getting excited by set-pieces all the time, instead of that free-flowing football.”That’s what Arsenal is known for, they’re shying away from it.”Anthony Gordon netted just after the break for Newcastle to hand them a 2-0 victory in the first leg of the semi-final. Despite the defeat, Arteta was adamant his team could turn things around on February 5. He said: “We have to be disappointed as it’s another result that we wanted, but that’s the reality.Arsenal player ratings v NewcastleBy Jordan DaviesDAVID RAYA – 6/10Looked nervy with ball at feet at times but could do nothing to stop Alexander Isak’s brilliant close-range finish.Unlucky to see his palmed save tapped in by Anthony Gordon.MYLES LEWIS-SKELLY – 8Very impressive again.

      ‘Genuinely what’s the point of VAR?’ – Fans fume as ‘unbelievable’ audio reveals why ref changed mind on Duran red card

      by

      FOOTBALL fans have been left scratching their heads once again after the audio was released for the VAR decision to send off Jhon Duran against Newcastle.Duran was dismissed during the Magpies’ 3-0 win over Villa on Boxing Day following an incident that saw his studs scrape up the back of Fabian Schar.Jhon Duran was sent off against Newcastle on boxing dayCredit: ReutersDuran was deemed to have deliberately stood on Fabian Schar’s backCredit: GettyDuran was left fuming with the decisionCredit: GettyThe officials’ audio of the incident has now been releasedCredit: Sky SportsThe Villa striker was deemed to have deliberately stood on Schar’s back and was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor at the time.But the decision left Villa manager Unai Emery seething, he said: “Three matches for this red card is hard to accept. There was no action with the intention to kick him.”.Aston Villa later had an appeal against the decision rejected, meaning Duran’s three-game ban remained in place.And the reasons behind the decision not being overturned have now been revealed on ‘Match Officials Mic’d Up’ after the audio from the incident was shown.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLFollowing Duran’s fall to the ground, both the fourth official and assistant referee appear to tell Anthony Taylor that they believe it was accidental.Fourth official Leigh Doughty can be heard saying: “It looks accidental from here”. While one of the assistant refs claims the incident is “reckless” and not dangerous, suggesting Duran should be cautioned and not sent off.He said: “So Duran steps on the back. For me, it’s a reckless act rather than anything more. He’s sort of trying to stop and then lands in the wrong place. So Duran, caution.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHowever, Anthony Taylor makes his own decision instead of taking the advice of his colleagues, citing Fabian Schar “holding somewhere else” on his body as the reason to show red. Taylor can he heard saying: “Hang on, he [Schar] is holding somewhere else here [on his body]. I’m going red card”.Aston Villa hothead Jhon Duran rages as he’s subbed moments after scoring and kicks back of team-mate’s chair Fans have been left confused and frustrated that Taylor seemed to change his decision based on where Schar had been stamped on.On social media, one fan wrote: “That Duran red card audio is UNBELIEVABLE, genuinely what’s the point of VAR?? Tedious.”While another added: “Something is so wrong with this system”.A third fumed: “Absolutely shocking”.And a fourth posted: “Decides to send him off because of where Schar is holding. Laughable”.PGMOL chief Howard Webb was on hand during ‘Match Officials Mic’d Up’ to explain why the decision didn’t change and why Villa’s appeal wasn’t overturned.The retired referee explained that Taylor had the best view of the incident and so was best placed to make the decision on it being a red card, going on to add that there wasn’t enough evidence to prove his decision was incorrect to overturn it.He said: “You can hear on the comms a range of opinions. The fourth official makes a comment based on what he’s seen, the assistant referee suggests it might be a yellow card. “But the best placed match official by a long way is the referee, who is right behind the situation.”Adding:”It’s always hard to read players’ minds, you have to judge the actions that we see, the physical evidence to make our judgements. READ MORE SUN STORIES”And in this situation, the referee saw the action, felt it was a red card offence.”And the VAR saw the movement of that leg onto the back of Schar and didn’t feel that the on-field referee’s call was obviously wrong – he probably agreed with it – and it stayed as an on-field call as a red card.”Howard Webb has explained why the decision stood More

      Chelsea ‘will listen to transfer offers for SIX fringe players including £56m star linked to Man Utd’

      by

      CHELSEA are willing to listen to offers of up to SIX fringe players, reports say. Blues boss Enzo Maresca has been open about expecting some of his squad to push for transfers away amid a lack of game time. Renato Veiga is linked with a move away from ChelseaCredit: GettyAccording to the Daily Mail, Renato Veiga is among them with Premier League sides Wolves and Bournemouth interested. Veiga, 21, offers versatility, being able to play at left-back, centre-half and in midfield, suiting Maresca’s system. And he has offered back up to Marc Cucurella, 26, this season after Ben Chilwell, 28, was frozen out. But Veiga has been limited to 14 starts this season with only one coming in the league. READ MORE IN football Carney Chukwuemeka, 21, is another Chelsea are ready to consider offers for after failing to break into the starting 11. Chukwuemeka has only five appearances this season, all in cup competition, and has become a loan target for Strasbourg and Borussia Dortmund.Midfielder Cesare Casadei – whose six games have also come in the Carabao Cup and Europa Conference League – could also leave. Chelsea rejected a £10million bid from Torino for Casadei, 21, with other Italian clubs also said to be interested in the starlet.

How Man United destroyed Trent in spectacular Liverpool draw amid £100m Real Madrid transfer talksBut only two have come in the league and the Frenchman, 27, has been restricted to cup games and providing back up to Nicolas Jackson, 23.Maresca has also claimed Nkunku’s best position is not as a sole striker – despite the majority of his starts coming up front.The ex-RB Leipzig star is believed to be open to a move away and Manchester United were recently linked with a £56m move for the forward. Disasi, 26, is traditionally a centre-back but has found himself covering at right-back this season due to injuries to Reece James, 25. But he has made just five league appearances and the Blues could be ready to offload the France international. That is despite a defender being a top priority for Maresca in the winter window. Former academy graduate Marc Guehi – sold to Crystal Palace for £18m in 2021 – is linked with a Chelsea return but is rated at £55m.
