Premier League: Patrick Vieira is all set for the Arsenal job and possibly perfect replacement for Unai Emery

Arsenal marvel Patrick Vieira is all set to take the step up and take over as manager at the Emirates Stadium. That’s according to French football expert Julien Laurens, the unshakable hero would be a perfect replacement for Unai Emery. Football fanatics from around the world can obtain Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

The approximating of Jose Mourinho, Massimiliano Allegri, Brendan Rodgers and Mikel Arteta have been connected with the role in current weeks, while Vieira has spoken of his craving to return to his former club as manager. And, talking on Hawks bee and Jacobs, Laurens said the Nice boss is ready-made for the job.

Unai Emery stressed in the Gunners hot seat after a run of just 2 wins from their last 10 Premier League games. Their current form has been predominantly disturbing for irritated fans, having thrown away leads to draw in 4 consecutive matches before losing 2-0 to Leicester last weekend. The board comes into view to be sticking with Emery for now, with reports asserting Arsenal could hold off making a change at the top until the end of the season.

“I think we’re still far away from Unai Emery leaving the club and having to find a replacement, but if and when it happens Patrick Vieira will be on the shortlist and rightly so,” said the French journalist. “He’s been very good at Nice. He arrived in a difficult environment with the club up for sale, there was a lot of uncertainty, and they finish seventh in his first campaign in charge.”

“This season they are 12th in the table but only two points from fourth place in a tight Ligue 1, so there have been a lot of good things Vieira has done. He’s learned a lot since arriving back in Europe from New York City FC in the United States. I think he will certainly feel ready for this kind of challenge. Whether Arsenal picks him or not is a different matter, but I certainly think he will be ready and I think he looks ready.”

“Laurens considers one key reason why Vieira would be perfectly suited to the Emirates job is he would work wonders with their under-performing squad. Vieira has a track record of improving the players under his tutelage and as an example, Laurens described one Nice player who he believes will soon complete a big-money move away from the club after his ‘outstanding improvement’ under the boss.”

“In terms of man-management, you can just imagine how good Patrick Vieira is,” he added. The Nice players have all improved under him. If we pick just one of the players Algerian wing back Youcef Atal. He has, for me, become one of the best right-backs in the whole of Europe, not just in France.”

“Under Vieira over the last 18 months, his improvement has just been exceptional, now he’s an incredible player. I believe this will be the last season we’ll see him at Nice and in Ligue 1, he will go to a much bigger club because he’s a great talent who has really improved working with Vieira.”

Premier League: Victor Lindelof explains Manchester United's problem against lesser clubs

Centre-half says Manchester United has been too comfortable in games against so-called lesser teams resulting in some shock defeats. Victor Lindelof says Manchester United have struggled because of complacency this season. Football fans from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Manchester United is currently seventh in the Premier League after an underwhelming start to the season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side appeared to have turned a corner in their most recent outing a 3-1 win over Brighton which the manager described as the Red Devils’ best performance of the season.

Manchester United is also, the only team to have taken a point against Premier League leaders, Liverpool, this term and have beaten second-placed Leicester City and third-placed Chelsea.

However, they have also suffered shock defeats to Crystal Palace Newcastle, West Ham and most recently Bournemouth.

And center-half Lindelof says they must treat every match as a big game if they are to rediscover the winning mentality that marked out the great Manchester United teams of the past.

“I generally think there is one thing we need to get better at if we are going to get back to the level Manchester United should be at that is winning matches week in and week out,” the Swedish defender told Afton Bladet.

Sometimes it does not have to be straight but you should success anyway. There is been a bit of a problem if we go into the matches against big clubs we are all connected and we get results.

Then limited days go by and we meet a little lower team then we have to go in accurately the same way not get comfortable.

We start well play fast and get to positions but then we stop with it after 20 minutes, complicate it and play poorly.

Lindelof will hope his team-mates heed his words when they return to action after the international break with a Premier League clash away to fifth-placed Sheffield United.

Premier League: Jadon Sancho is ready to quit Borussia Dortmund as Liverpool join

Jadon Sancho is ready to quit Borussia Dortmund as Liverpool join Manchester United and Chelsea in the race to land the £100million England star, according to reports.

The 19-year-old has recognized himself as one of the brightest talents in world football since resigning Manchester City for the Bundesliga in 2017. Football devotees from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its fabulous actions.

But after another sweltering start to the season, the winger has been suffering a frightening month at Dortmund that started with him being fired from the squad for returning late from England duty.

Sancho has also unsuccessful to score in the last eight matches with coach Lucian Favre joining him after just 36 minutes of the 4-0 downfall to rivals Bayern Munich. According to the Daily Mail, these growths are understood to have left the Three Lions star unsettled and weighing up his future.

Dortmund is also thought to have begun their search for an additional after club chief Michael Zorc exposed in September that the club is resigned to losing Sancho. But you don’t have to be a forecaster to know he won’t play here for another five years.

He has taken this positive development at Dortmund. I distrust that would have been likely with top English clubs. We trust players very primary, and we are not scared to let them play.

Real Madrid is also understood to have revived their interest in Sancho, three years after they missed out on his signature when he left the Etihad. But England boss Gareth Southgate revealed that the starlet asked for talks with him following his recent run of poor form. He said: Any new player is going to have ups and downs.

Premier League: What did the Liverpool v Manchester City game tell us?

When the fixtures came out for this season’s Premier League two matches stood out namely both the ones involving Liverpool and Manchester City. Back then it was thought these two teams would once again be the league’s pacesetters and that has been very much the case. Football fans around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its magnificent performances.

So what if anything did we learn from last Sunday’s game? Klopp is a step closer to claiming Liverpool’s first title of the Premier League era

The game itself

First of all far too many times a game is hyped or overhyped for week’s even months only for it to fail to deliver on quality drama excitement or talking points. That certainly cannot be leveled at the match at Anfield last weekend.

If any game could be described as having everything, then this season’s second meeting if you count the Community Shield curtain-raiser between the league’s heavyweights was that game.

Spectacular goals controversy touchline spats these are the very things the blanket coverage such games attracts before during and after the actual match are built upon and it had them all in spades.

From a Manchester City perspective

There were several takeaways from the game from a light blue perspective. First of all, if the games against Norwich and Wolves did not tell us as much already this game did Manchester City is beatable.

This was a game they had to if not win then at least not lose. It was the sort of game that championship-winning teams find a way to get at least a point from.

It was just the type of game that the Manchester City sides of late made sure they did just that and more often than not came away with all three points.

This is a different side, one with weaknesses and frailties. Still an exceptional side but one that can be got at:

The game showed that at the back especially without Aymeric Laporte Manchester City are vulnerable a word that has not been used in conjunction with the back to back champions for a long time.

It also showed that without Ederson in nets they just do not have the same swagger.

Claudio Bravo is a very good keeper and was not really to blame for any of the goals though perhaps he could have been more decisive for the third he is just not so comfortable playing the ball out and that is such a cornerstone of the way City play.

As a result of that game, Manchester City finds itself at 9/4 to win the title for the third time in a row.

It is the longest odds they have been at for many months and the pressure was showing on the players too many of who lost their one on one battles and on Pep Guardiola himself with his antics after the match.

From a Liverpool perspective

Popular opinion in the summer held that the title could very well be decided by who won the head to head matches between the two favorites.

The reality probably would not be that straight forward but Liverpool passed a huge test last weekend.

Yes, they got the crucial three points, extending their lead at the top of the English Premier League to eight points but they also took a lot more than that away from the match.

This was the type of game they have come up short in all too often in recent times. That was certainly not the case at Anfield. Practically every player won their personal battles on the pitch and by the end, they were playing with a swagger truly befitting champions-elect.

Not that Klopp would allow his players to start thinking like that yet. He is far too aware nothing is won yet and there will be bumps along the way.

Last weekend’s game was a huge show of intent, however. It was a statement that this is not the Liverpool team of old this was one even better than last year’s version. One that not only has the talent and ability to win crucial games but the mindset and confidence to go with it and put it into action:

Latest Liverpool target proof Reds remain humble in the transfer market

Reigning European champions and current table-toppers in the Premier League, Liverpool have arguably been the best team in the world since the turn of the year. As far as projects go, few look as attractive as the one at Anfield. It’s why talk of moves for Kylian Mbappé and Jadon Sancho are no longer laughed off. 

But, in what would be a very Liverpool move, Ryan Fraser could well be the forward the recruitment team sign to bolster Jürgen Klopp’s attacking options. Football devotees from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its fabulous actions.

The Bournemouth attacker is out of contract next summer which means he’s available for a bargain fee in January and reports have recently emerged to suggest he’s a target for the Premier League leaders.

James Pearce, the Reds reporter for The Athletic, has quashed links to the 25-year-old but it’s unlikely the club would admit their interest in a player with the transfer window not opening for another six weeks. 

On paper, a move for the Scotland international would appear to be an underwhelming one. But some of Liverpool’s best business in recent years has, at first glance, been underwhelming. 

Andrew Robertson’s arrival from Hull City wasn’t a statement signing. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain divided the fanbase because of the fee paid to secure his services from Arsenal. These just two examples, but there are many more. 

Fraser could be the latest to fall into that category. By no means, a star name, Scot’s exploits last season resulted in interest from Arsenal. The former Aberdeen winger managed 14 assists in the Premier League, just one shy of Eden Hazard. He also chipped in with seven goals. 

It meant throughout the 2018/19 campaign, Fraser was involved in a goal every 151 minutes in the English top-flight, and he had a hand in close to 40 percent of Bournemouth’s goals.

Fraser is unique in many ways. He’s got traits associated with a more traditional winger, the pace and the positioning near the touchline, but it just so happens he’s a right-footer playing on the left. He tends to want to cut back onto his favored side but he can beat opponents on the outside and his left foot isn’t just for show.

He’s direct and incisive while also being measured and composed. At times, the former is linked to chaotic and transitional players while the latter are skills needed to play a more possession-based style. But Fraser’s explosiveness allows him to combine the two.

He can breeze past players and wriggles out of tight situations. What first looks like a crowded area quickly turns into a situation that sees Fraser in space. It’s in these moments he’s able to show his composure and ability on the ball, feeding considered passes into the area instead of just lumping crosses into space and hoping for the best.

Fraser isn’t a dribbler. Last season he completed just 0.68 per 90 and that average is at 0.45 this term. He doesn’t need to be at his devastating best. Instead, he’s like Andrew Robertson. The Scotland international powers into the final third and then looks to get the ball into the penalty area. If he was left-footed, Fraser would be a good back-up for the Liverpool left-back.

The Reds played James Milner at full-back for an entire season. While he can use his weaker foot, he tended to cut infield whenever possible and Klopp’s side still made it work.

Fraser would obviously have to get used to seeing more of the ball to play that role, though. Liverpool’s No.7 is a central midfielder by trade so it was used to being heavily involved in possession. Fraser is a winger who deals in moments.

There’s nothing to suggest the Bournemouth man couldn’t adapt and embrace a more possession-based role. And if he did, Liverpool would have a player who could fill in for Robertson as and when needed without losing the drive down the left. Milner’s played there at times this season and the difference is noticeable.

In theory, Fraser could also play right-back in certain matches once he’s up to speed with the demands of that role in a Liverpool system. He also gives Liverpool more options in the final third, given he can play either flank. If reports are accurate and Xherdan Shaqiri does want to leave for first-team football then that void in the squad needs to be filled.

Shaqiri has had his moments in red but it just hasn’t worked out for him at Anfield, not properly. If Liverpool is able to effectively swap Shaqiri for Fraser then it could prove to be yet another shrewd bit of business by Michael Edwards and the recruitment team.
