#Thomas Tuchel

WEST HAM have drawn up a four-man shortlist to replace under-fire David Moyes, reports suggest. That includes two "dream appointments" in Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino. The Hammers haven't won any of their last eight Premier League matches, of which they have only managed two points, and dropped to the relegation zone after Saturday's 1-0…

Newcastle United have so far not made a signing in January with Eddie Howe admitting he is wary of making a costly error. The Magpies boss insists he is keen not to'handcuff' for future windows with any deals that could shackle the club in light of FFP. By this time last year, Newcastle's precarious position in the Premier League had already led to…

Chelsea are bringing Joao Felix to the Bridge in a move that could well shake up the race for top four and kickstart Graham Potter's era. What could possibly go wrong? Strikers who made it out of Stamford Bridge with their reputation in tact are a rare breed, indeed. The Blues have become a social experiment of sorts, welcoming forwards of…

When Graham Potter was given the opportunity to take charge of Chelsea in early September, he did not hesitate. Within a day or so of Thomas Tuchel being dismissed, the former Brighton & Hove Albion head coach had decided to leave the Amex Stadium for west London. In the process, Potter became only the second English manager to lead Chelsea on a…

The and his Chelsea team after a difficult few games, although Thursday's match at Craven Cottage presents an opportunity for the Blues to get back to winning ways and they are favourites to beat their west London rivals Fulham. If you think that Chelsea can bounce back from their FA Cup mauling at the hands of Manchester City, then you are able to…

There was a mutinous air to the Chelsea end at the Etihad Stadium as their team subsided to a dismal 4-0 loss against Manchester City in the third round of the FA Cup. Riyad Mahrez scored twice via a free-kick and the second of two penalties clumsily given away by Graham Potter's side. The first came courtesy of a galaxy-brain handball from Kai…

The Premier League meets its halfway mark for the season this weekend, with six managers having already departed from their clubs so far this campaign. The pressure continues to build for some of the bosses in England's top flight, and we analyse the most likely candidates to receive the boot next. Frank Lampard was lauded as a hero by many of the…

THE problem with Graham Potter is that he still sounds like he's the Brighton manager. After Chelsea were trounced at Manchester City in the FA Cup on Sunday, the Blues boss listed the teams his injury-ravaged side had been beaten by during their miserable run of three wins in 12 matches. He noted that Chelsea had lost four Premier League games -…

The Premier League is at its halfway mark and plenty of teams are struggling for points. Relegation to the Championship can cost a club a minimum of £92 million. Of course, more money will be lost outside of the Premier League despite parachute payments being given to relegated teams for the first few years. Six Premier League manager changes have…

Placed in the wake of Qatar's mechanical coverage of the World Cup, and Cristiano Ronaldo's eye-watering £175m-a-year deal with Saudi big shots Al-Nassr, this year's FA Cup third round reminded fans just what football's oldest competition is all about. With a mountain of giant-killings and a throng of goals for supporters to sink their teeth into,…

At some point in a bad run, the meaning of things breaks down, wins don't become wins anymore, they merely serve as a skip button to head past GO, collect $200, and move onto the next round. Then the game starts again, always waiting for that dice roll to land you on the GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL spot on the board. OK, Monopoly stans among you will be…

The striker could be captaining the Premier League leaders right now - instead, he's a bench player at a struggling, striker-less side One wonders if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is now a superstitious sort. At the Emirates, some supporters will tell you that the forward fell foul of the'Arsenal captain's curse', while Chelsea supporters will tell you…

Chelsea's season continues to go into reverse and it was a damning sign of their current reduced status that Graham Potter's side departed to a smattering of polite applause following the home defeat to Manchester City. No show of anger. No dissent aimed at players or manager after the sort of loss that would have been regarded as a potentially…

It emerged in June that Neymar could be departing PSG as the club are willing to offer out the 30-year-old but in July no club has been able to meet the price tag. The Ligue 1 giants spent £197 million to acquire the forward in 2017 and the Parisian side will accept an offer if it's satisfactory, but that won't put off a few big clubs especially in…

Manchester City is in an unfamiliar spot. The two-time defending champions and odds-on preseason favorite to win the Premier League are eight points behind Arsenal (with a game in hand) almost halfway into the season. It's not an insurmountable gap by any stretch and City are still odds-on to win the title, but the Cityzens need to close the gap…

Everton manager Frank Lampard is the bookies' favourite to be the next Premier League boss to be sacked, overtaking West Ham's David Moyes after the latest round of fixtures. The Toffees were brought back down to earth as they were thrashed 4-1 by Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday evening after picking up a respectable 1-1 draw against Manchester…

Gameweek 19 of the 2022/23 Premier League season will continue on Thursday with a blockbuster clash.

The Blues saw a raft of changes…

SOUTHAMPTON are close to agreeing a £7.5million deal for Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Mislav Orsic. Saints have also opened talks over a deal for Lorient striker Terem Moffi and are plotting a £12m move for Racing Club midfielder Carlos Alcaraz. Southampton are rock bottom of the Premier League with just one win in their last 12 Premier League games…

Frank Lampard's Everton demonstrated guts and resilience to withstand Manchester City on New Year's Eve, snatching an unexpected point which may prove invaluable come season's end. If this was a major positive, it must be balanced out with the recognition that Everton dropped one-three points at home on Boxing Day against a very beatable…

After winning 2-0 their first match after the World Cup break, Chelsea are already back in action and will play on Sunday against Nottingham Forest. Graham Potter's side need to score as many points as possible considering their table, as the Blues are currently in eighth with 24 points after 15 matches, while Nottingham are fighting to keep their…

THIS is the hilarious moment Thomas Tuchel is destroyed by new Chelsea signing Raheem Sterling at table tennis. That's after the ace warned his new boss that he's UNBEATABLE at the game.

Happy Boxing Day. Is it a real holiday? Depends what country you're reading this from. But one thing it means, no matter where in the world you are, is plenty of soccer. The club game is well and truly back with the weird midseason World Cup in the rearview mirror as England launch into a full slate of Premier League games. I'm Mike Goodman, and…

The break for the World Cup was critical for Chelsea as they entered the period on a run of defeats. But the restart and the January transfer window presents an opportunity for Graham Potter.

As one titanic tussle for sporting supremacy concludes, another returns to the stage. But that is quite enough about the fourth round of the Carabao Cup even if it does have Manchester City and Liverpool squaring off on Thursday.
