      How Enzo Maresca can transform Chelsea to challenge for Premier League title with Nicolas Jackson freeing Cole Palmer

      by

      CAST our minds back to the first-half of the Premier League season and Chelsea were being talked about as Liverpool’s closest competitors.After 16 matches, the Blues had just been on a five-match winning streak and they were sat just three points behind Arne Slot’s side.Enzo Maresca is facing tactical problems at ChelseaCredit: RexNicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer are key to the Blues’ successCredit: GettyEnzo Maresca was asked about challenging for the league and he played down Chelsea’s chances, saying: “We are not in a title race. “It’s not about the pressure for the players, club or me. For me it’s just the reality.”We’re ahead of our expectations in terms of the way we are playing and points, as our mission for this season is to develop players and just try to do our very best.”I would like to have that kind of pressure… hopefully soon we can have that kind of title race pressure.”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSince those comments, Chelsea’s form has dipped and they have fallen to sixth in the table, 22 points behind Liverpool.Maresca can still transform the club into title contenders but a lot needs to change.The boss has missed Nicolas Jackson through injury in recent months and they have been unable to replace his running in behind, lay-offs and combinations with Cole Palmer.Maybe another striker is needed in Jackson’s mould to share the workload and stop a drop-off if he gets injured again.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSIn the 3-0 win over West Ham, Maresca-ball was a joy to watch.Jackson can drop deep to combine and then spin in behind to drag defenders with him.How Ruben Amorim can fix Man United’s Garnacho problemThere is a “box” midfield for the striker to work with as the full-backs invert to form the deepest points of a square as Enzo Fernandez pushes higher.This frees up Palmer for him to work his magic and he can pick up pockets of space that Jackson frees up by pulling defenders away with his movement.Chelsea have not been the same without JacksonThey have missed his movement and link-up play with the midfieldChelsea were up there at the start of the season due to the inverted full-backs working wonders.Marc Cucurella and Malo Gusto impressed in the roles and Fernandez and Moises Caicedo were excellent. But Chelsea have been worked out and their play has become too focused in the middle of the pitch and predictable. The wingers are not good enough in one vs one situations.There is not enough creation from the wide players and they need a left-footer on the left who can go on the outside and take defenders on.With the full-backs inverted and the wingers cutting in – it is all far too narrow and Palmer then has no space in congested areas and his game is restricted.Chelsea’s games are being played in the width of the penalty box when someone must offer a threat on the flanks. Chelsea’s play has been too narrow and their wingers have not been direct enoughRuben Amorim at Manchester United and Thomas Tuchel with England have spoken about the need for direct wingers.Jamie Gittens, 20, is a target for Chelsea and they should break the bank to get him.Meanwhile, the other thing that must change at Stamford Bridge is the man between the sticks – Robert Sanchez is not good enough.He makes too many mistakes and his underwhelming passing has been putting pressure on the centre-backs.Read More on The SunMaresca wants his keeper to join the back line and become like an extra outfield player in possession.Sanchez has been shaky with the ball at his feet. The No1 at Chelsea must be a good shot stopper and be comfortable playing out.Chelsea should make a move for Jamie Gittens this summerCredit: Alamy More

      Horror stats behind West Ham’s transfer dealings show ‘Eastenders’ image of Cockneys is a load of old cobblers

      by

      TURNS out EastEnders is a load of old cobblers after all.Drop into Albert Square anytime and you leave with the impression that all Cockneys are sharp as a tack. Wheeler-dealers, who are no mugs when it comes to striking a deal.West Ham currently sit 17th in the Premier League table with just 35 pointsCredit: ReutersTechnical director Tim Steidten has come under fire for his poor recruitmentCredit: PANot if West Ham are anything to go by.Figures released by the FA this week reveal the Hammers’ hierarchy splashed out a whopping £19million on agents’ fees in the year from February 2024.That’s the eighth highest spend on the transfer market’s middle men in the entire Premier League across two transfer windows.And the only way they’ll get into the top ten of anything for some time.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe return on this sizeable investment is being fourth from bottom as a cheerless campaign draws to a miserable end.It’s only that the three teams below them — Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich — are so spectacularly awful that West Ham are safe from relegation.They have effectively shelled out £542,000 to agents for every one of their 35 points so far  this season.Over the course of the previous  summer and winter windows, they have blown in excess of £105m on new players — each with an intermediary probably trousering a hefty commission.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAnd the reward is them heading for their worst finish in the top flight in five years.Indeed, they still require five points to better the 39 from 2020 when David Moyes rescued them with his  emergency appointment to clear up the mess left by Manuel Pellegrini.Michail Antonio given hero’s welcome as he returns to West Ham for 1st time since escaping death in horror Ferrari crashMajority owner David Sullivan and his peers back their managers unequivocally — they don’t sack easily and support them financially.It’s like having the Mitchell brothers fighting your corner.But player recruitment is a different ball game.Dot Cotton could have performed better in the transfer market than now departed technical director Tim Steidten.Take Guido Rodriguez. Signed on a free last summer, if the Argentine midfielder and his representative had any sense they would have demanded higher wages and commission because no fee was involved. That’s how it goes.Rodriguez, 31, has completed just three games for West Ham.The most recent, a 1-1 draw against Brentford on September 28.He was hooked 38 minutes into the 3-0 home rout by Chelsea a week earlier for “tactical” reasons.Guido Rodriguez has barely played for the HammersCredit: GettyNew boss Graham Potter is clearly not having him.Rodriguez has played a total of three minutes over the last ten games and hasn’t got off the bench at all in the past four.There are others like him at the London Stadium.It’s a similar story at nearby Tottenham. Only one place and £600k below the generous Hammers in their unwitting donations to the unofficial football agents’ benevolent fund, Spurs are in turmoil.Two points and two places above their struggling neighbours from E20 in the Prem, Timo Werner is approaching the end of his second loan spell, having been ghosted.Cut from boss Ange Postecoglou’s Europa League squad, one goal in 27 appearances, not played since the end of February. Savaged by the boss publicly.Chairman Daniel Levy can blame nobody but himself for not learning his lesson the first time around with German Werner, or from watching him flop at Chelsea previously.And the grim news for both of these clubs is that they will be there for the taking again this summer, because it’s going to take a whole lot more spending to dig them out of their respective holes.You can almost hear the sound of hands being rubbed together.Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest occupy fourth place, chasing a Champions League spot, having spent a relatively minor £13.5m on agents.Everton are above West Ham and Tottenham and on the up after laying out just £9.2m to the deal brokers.Newcastle and Aston Villa paid more in finders’ fees but are at least getting some bang for their buck.Read More on The SunFor anyone up North reading this, London’s streets really are paved with gold.You just need to become a football agent to find out.Tottenham also find themselves in troubleCredit: PA More

      Man Utd files: Benjamin Sesko’s ‘gentleman’s agreement’ gives transfer hope and TWO new goalkeepers needed in overhaul

      by

      RUBEN AMORIM will be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer – even though Andre Onana’s Old Trafford future remains in the balance.But whether they will try to bring in a new number one or competition for the Cameroon international has still to be decided.Manchester United are set for a goalkeeper shake-up with current trio Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton and Andre Onana all at risk of exitsCredit: PAKaua Santos of Eintracht Frankfurt is on the wishlistCredit: AlamyLille’s Lucas Chevalier could also be targetedCredit: ReutersTurkey international Altay Bayindir – who stepped in at Newcastle to give Onana a much-needed break – is likely to be moved on.There are concerns the former Fenerbahce keeper, 27, is not good enough with his feet to play in Amorim’s system.And that was backed up at St James’ Park as Opta stats showed he failed to complete 30 of his 57 attempted passes – as well as gifting the Toon a fourth goal.In addition, veteran No3 Tom Heaton – who turned 39 this week – could be offered a coaching role at Carrington by the club.But that is likely to mean he hangs up his gloves and it remains to be seen if he is ready to do that.So a shake-up of the goalkeeping department looks certain once the season ends.Among the keepers on United’s radar is Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kaua Santos.Lille’s Lucas Chevalier – who is valued at around £35million by his French club – is another name in the frame.Meanwhile, Onana does not plan on going anywhere.He wants to prove the doubters wrong and establish himself at Old Trafford and has even bought a new house in the area.Andre Onana suffers shocking howler to put Man Utd behind after being booed and insulted during warm-up over Matic spatGO GO FOR SESKORB LEIPZIG forward Benjamin Sesko was watched by United’s new head of recruitment Christopher Vivell at the weekend.That sparked talk the Slovenian forward could be on his way to Old Trafford this summer – as Ruben Amorim is hunting for a new forward.There have been reports that the 21-year-old has a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with his club which says he could leave for around £60m if a top club comes in for him.No doubt United, who are looking to cut costs to comply with profit and sustainability rules, would be keen to snap up a bargain.However, while it is true that Leipzig have said they will not stand in his way, the price is likely to be negotiable.And the German club hope they can top the record £77m fee they received from United’s neighbours City for Josko Gvardiol two summers ago.In fact they believe they could get around £86m (100m euros) for Sesko – which might force United to think again.Benjamin Sesko has a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ to leave RB LeipzigCredit: GettyFEELS LIKE HOMEONE thing that has gone down well at Old Trafford this season is the introduction of a famous John Denver song before kick-off.‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ has long been a favourite with the Stretford End and United even have their own version of it.But in recent months, the original has been played over the tannoy shortly before kick-off.And like most things that have been good about United this season, skipper Bruno Fernandes has been at the heart of it.In a recent Q&A with club fans, he revealed he asked for it to become a regular matchday feature at the Theatre of Dreams as he felt it would help the atmosphere.The introduction of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ has been a rare positive moveCredit: GettyDRINK IT INNEW part owner Jim Ratcliffe has been cutting costs at United to ensure they comply with the Prem’s PSR rules.Yet the Red Devils still offer the cheapest pint in the Premier League – with a beer available for as little as £3 in some parts of the stadium on match days at Old Trafford.By contrast, at West Ham a pint can set you back around £7.30 while at Arsenal it is about a pound less.Enjoy it while you can, United fans.A pint at West Ham costs more than double than the price at Old TraffordCredit: GettyEUR ANNUAL BONUSRUBEN AMORIM was – just about – the Lyon-tamer to keep United’s Euro glory hopes alive in utterly dramatic fashion.But the Old Trafford boss is STILL under huge financial pressure to lead his side all the way to lift the Europa League.Making the last four and a semi-final tie against Bilbao ensures United still have a chance of the trophy that would guarantee Champions League football back at Old Trafford next term.Uefa’s complicated financial model means that would see United earning around £49m WITHOUT kicking a ball.In addition, Europa League success would ensure another £20m plus in gate income for four home matches in the expanded group stage.Bonus payments for each win in the initial phase mean United could expect a minimum further £11.24m for reaching the first knock-out stage.ONE THAT SCOTT AWAYUNITED fans may be rueing the one that got away as they watch their academy product Scott McTominay burning it up in Italy.But they could still benefit if he continues to perform well for title-chasing Napoli – like he did at the weekend when he scored twice against Empoli.The Red Devils received just £27m for the Scotland international when he joined Antonio Conte’s men.Scott McTominay is enjoying himself in Italy with NapoliCredit: AFPHowever, they did insert a sell-on clause which entitles them to around ten per cent of any profit the Italian club make on him.McTominay was hailed as Serie A’s ‘signing of the season’ by newspaper Corriere Dello Sport at the weekend – so is currently a hot property.RAS-CUE MISSIONFORMER United football director John Murtough has taken a new role with Italian club Atalanta after leaving Old Trafford.The 54-year-old has been appointed as the Bergamo-based club’s new director of global development.Murtough was United’s transfer guru from March 2021 but stepped down following Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s partial takeover last year.That means he would have dealt with Atalanta as the two clubs negotiated a £72m fee for Rasmus Hojlund two years ago.It is one of the transfers that has often been held up to highlight United’s dismal transfer dealings in recent years – but no doubt Atalanta were grateful for the huge windfall.Interestingly, several clubs in Italy are currently keeping tabs on the Dane’s struggles at Old Trafford.Despite scoring just once in his last 26 appearances, his reputation in Serie A remains high.Maybe Murtough could get on to his old mates in Manchester for a chat about getting him back to the Gewiss Stadium in the summer.Rasmus Hojlund could be wanted back in Serie ACredit: Getty More

      How Real Madrid could line up under Jurgen Klopp with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool and RB Leipzig stars

      by

      JURGEN KLOPP has been linked with a shock move to Real Madrid after it was reported that manager Carlo Ancelotti will soon depart.According to Sky Sports, Ancelotti, 65, is set to walk away from Real after the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona on April 26 following Wednesday’s Champions League elimination to Arsenal.Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a shock move to Real Madrid a year after leaving LiverpoolReal manager Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with a departure this monthKlopp could reunite with Trent Alexander-Arnold and another Liverpool star at RealAnd UOL Esporte report Klopp, 57, is “ready” to take over at the Santiago Bernabeu a year after leaving Liverpool.The same source claims the German tactician is “unhappy” in his new job at Red Bull as Global Head of Football.Thus, the Liverpool legend is open to talking to Madrid, with the intention of returning to coaching as early as July.The ex-Borussia Dortmund boss reportedly has a special clause that could see him cut his contract short for a return to the dugout.Read More on FootballIf he succeeds Ancelotti then the German may go back to his Liverpool contacts book to lure some fresh talent to the Spanish capital.The famous gaffer could also bring in some of the players he is currently dealing with at Red Bull.For starters, Klopp could reunite with Trent Alexander-Arnold who turned down a new contract with the Reds and is close to moving to Real as a free agent in June.It’s understood he’s already agreed terms on a £240,000-a-week deal at the Bernabeu. Most read in FootballLos Blancos have also been previously linked with Alexander-Arnold’s team-mate Ibrahima Konate.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSKonate joined the Merseysiders from RB Leipzig in 2021 under Klopp and his contract runs out in 2026. That means the Premier League champions-elect may have to sell the centre-back this summer to avoid losing him for free, like they’re doing with TAA.Carlo Ancelotti shows his disappointment as Real Madrid crashes out of Champions League to Arsenal Therefore, if Klopp moves to Madrid then the Spanish champions could have Trent at right-back with David Alaba on the other side, while Konate could team up with Antonio Rudiger at centre-back in front of star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga – already at Real Madrid – may link up in midfield.Alexander-Arnold’s England team-mate Jude Bellingham could start at No10 with Vinicius Jr on his right and Kylian Mbappe on the other side.And when it comes to the man that would lead the line, that is where Klopp’s Red Bull contacts would come into play.The ex-Mainz boss could call on Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko, who has also been linked with Arsenal.Real have so much quality that they wouldn’t need much tweaking, but Klopp would be able to attract some of Liverpool and Red Bull’s best players.

      Will Federico Chiesa win Premier League winners’ medal if Liverpool star finishes season on just four appearances?

      by

      LIVERPOOL ace Federico Chiesa poses as a major question mark ahead of his team’s imminent Premier League coronation.The Reds are almost certain to lift only their second Prem title soon as they top the table with a staggering 13 points ahead of second-placed Arsenal.Liverpool star Federico Chiesa has only played four Premier League matchesChiesa can still win a Prem winners’ medal even if he doesn’t play five games with LiverpoolBut among all the certainty there is one major doubt and it surrounds the Merseysiders’ only signing of the summer in Chiesa, 27.The winger joined Arne Slot’s side after a £10million up-front deal with Juventus and moved to Anfield immediately unlike other signing Giorgi Mamardashvili, who remained at Valencia on loan.However, a raft of injuries have limited the Italy international to a mere 12 appearances across all competitions this season.And only four of them took place in the Premier League, where he has only managed a grand total of 33 minutes – none of which as a starter.Read More on FootballThat begs the question on whether Chiesa is entitled to a Prem winners’ medal.But thankfully for the Italian technician, the answer is most likely yes. Players used to have to play five Premier League games but now the champions get 40 medals to give out at their own discretion to anyone within squad – that includes players and coaches.All players who have made five appearances are required to get a medal, but beyond that the winning club can do whatever it likes.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSChiesa is only one match from meeting the required amount and is likely to get his opportunity as fatigue piles up for Slot’s starters.And if the Prem high-fliers manage to mathematically seal their 20th English title by April 27 the earliest then there is no reason why the dutch tactician can’t hand opportunities to peripheral players.Mo Salah commits to Liverpool with new two-year contract Liverpool team-mate Harvey Elliott played just seven minutes in the historic 2019/20 title-winning campaign across two appearances, but former manager Jurgen Klopp ensured that he got a medal.And on the official club site, Andy Lonergan as well as Caoimhin Kelleher are listed among 26 title-winning members, so they presumably got medals despite not playing a single minute in the top flight.

      Newcastle 5 Crystal Palace 0: Magpies move into third with scintillating show to do ill boss Howe proud

      by

      EDDIE HOWE will not be rushing back to work and even if he wanted to, there would be little point.Because his Newcastle team are in absolutely blistering form, rising to third place on auto-pilot towards a Champions League spot.Fabian Schar headed Newcastle’s fourth just before the breakCredit: ReutersHarvey Barnes angled the Toon 3-0 up in first-half stoppage timeCredit: GettyMidfielder Barnes hails his strike in another brilliant winCredit: GettyAlexander Isak rounded off Newcastle’s five-star showCredit: AlamyLiverpool will be thankful that Howe’s team did not play like this in the first half of the season otherwise we would have had a title race on our hands.With Howe still recovering from pneumonia, his assistant Jason Tindall was able to watch with admiration from the technical area as this team expertly dismantled Palace in a brutal opening 45 minutes.Jacob Murphy continued his magnificent season with the first and after Palace’s Eberechi Eze missed a penalty, team-mate Marc Guehi scored an own goal.Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schar both struck in first half injury time before Alexander Isak grabbed the fifth to ensure a sixth successive Newcastle win in the Premier League.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThe fact Toon have maintained their focus after winning a first domestic trophy for 70 years – rather than let the victory go to their heads – is testament to Howe and the culture he has created here.And crushing Palace is no mean feat considering they were unbeaten in 10 games away from Selhurst Park until Saturday’s 5-2 loss at Manchester City.In a season which Newcastle fans will remember for the rest of their lives, the team’s four star players have been top scorer Isak, Wembley hero Dan Burn, Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy.While the club have spent £400m since the Saudi Arabian takeover in 2021, Murphy arrived for just £12m from Norwich eight years ago.Most read in FootballBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKJacob Murphy fired Newcastle in front with a 14th-minute cross-shotCredit: GettyMurphy, 30, has blossomed under Howe and he has been Newcastle’s assists king this season and even created three chances in the opening 10 minutes.And when Palace were expecting another cross, Murphy probably surprised even himself by firing a shot into the near-post top corner.Ruben Amorim show his disappointment at Man Utd’s 4-1 loss to Newcastle Dean Henderson was beaten by a Marc Guehi own goalCredit: GettyDespite being so comfortable in defence, keeper Nick Pope handed Palace a way back when he rushed towards the edge of the area and collided with Chris Richards.None of the Palace players appealed for a penalty but as soon as ref Darren England was called over to the VAR monitor, he was always going to award a penalty.Yet Eze’s penalty was terrible. With his run-up, he stuttered and then virtually stopped, before sending a weak shot which Pope saved easily.And Eze was still cursing his shocking miss when Newcastle made it 2-0 just 98 seconds later. Barnes, once again preferred to Anthony Gordon due to his excellent form, saw his attempted cross to Isak take a heavy deflection off Guehi and the ball looped past Dean Henderson.Palace boss Oliver Glasner would have been happy to get back to the dressing room at half-time with just two conceded but it got a whole lot worse.His team were exposed brutally on a counter attack again and Barnes raced onto an exquisite pass from Tonali before charging into the area and nudging his way past Max Lacroix before hammering a shot into the cornerSeven minutes of stoppage time was being played due to the VAR check for the penalty and Murphy delivered his 11th assist of the season with Schar scoring a glancing headerTop scorer Isak failed to score in Sunday’s 4-1 thumping of Manchester United and it looked as though he might miss out again until Joelinton nicked the ball off Lacroix and he thumped a first-time shot past Henderson.For Palace, they will be keen to forget this mauling.Read More on The SunNewcastle even added something of a taunt at the end – by playing their opponents’ “Glad All Over” anthem.But Glasner’s side still have an FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa on Saturday week and this team still has the quality to end the season on a magnificent high.
