Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend

Iheanacho looks to impress, what now for Mourinho’s shambolic defence and no change for Rafa at Man City Despite not dropping a point or conceding a goal, Liverpool have yet to really hit their stride in the current campaign. West Ham took very little beating in their opener, while subsequent victories over Crystal Palace and Brighton were a mite laboured. An away trip to Leicester on Saturday lunchtime should provide another reasonably stiff test ahead of what is likely to be a more challenging trip to Tottenham Hotspur after the international break. Leicester clearly missed the searing pace of the suspended Jamie Vardy against Southampton and Kelechi Iheanacho struggled to impress in his role as replacement. The striker got off the mark for the season against Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday and with Vardy sitting out the last instalment of a three-match ban , he needs a big performance against the – thus far – impregnable two-man portcullis that is Virgil van Dijk and J...

More than a game: not just gold on line for Son Heung-min in Asian Games final | John Duerden

The pressure building on South Korea’s captain reaches a crescendo on Saturday when he could win military exemption Arguably the biggest game of football this weekend takes place in the unlikely location of West Java, where South Korea take on Japan in the final of the 2018 Asian Games. Rarely has a football tournament been so much about one player and onlookers around the world have found themselves fretting almost as much as those in Seoul about the fate of the Korean captain Son Heung-min. It all ends, one way or another, on Saturday as the biggest rivals in Asia meet at Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong. The Samurai Blue would love to win but the Taeguk Warriors have to – only gold would mean military exemption for the 20 players in the Korean squad. That is the only reason Tottenham Hotspur let Son leave the early stages of the Premier League season to play in a far-flung, regional Under-23 tournament (he is one of three overage players allowed).

Ovie Ejaria goal fires nine-man Rangers past Ufa and into group stage

• Ufa 1-1 Rangers (Rangers win 2-1 on agg) • Two Scottish sides make group stages for first time since 2009 Nine-man Rangers were made to do it the hard way as they survived two red cards to claim a place in the Europa League group stages, and they were later joined by Old Firm rivals Celtic – the first time since 2009 two Scottish sides have made it to group stages of European competition.

Burnley’s Europa League dream ends with draw against Olympiakos

• Burnley 1-1 Olympiakos (Olympiakos win 4-2 on aggregate) • Daniel Podence and Matej Vydra swap goals but Clarets are out Sean Dyche blamed some questionable refereeing decisions for the 3-1 scoreline against Burnley in the first leg in Athens, apparently with a degree of justification. The story was completely different here. Even with a weakened team Burnley created enough chances to win the tie twice over, yet managed to miss them all until the substitute Matej Vydra marked his debut with a scrambled close-range effort five minutes from the end. By then it was too late. Olympiakos had gone up the field after an evening of dogged, last-ditch defending and put the tie beyond reach with Daniel Podence’s cool finish. Vydra’s equaliser merely allowed the home side parity on the night. Burnley deserved that, though it would be hard to argue they merited a place in the Europa League proper after wasting so many opportunities.

Football transfer rumours: Celtic's Moussa Dembélé set for Lyon exit?

Today’s tell-all was up late Chelsea love a loan window like the Mill loves fluff. Thirty-eight players were rented out last season, 34 have gone this term, and there’s talk of shifting more before Friday’s 5pm loan deadline. Izzy Brown , Fankaty Dabo and Islam Feruz could all go; Tammy Abraham doesn’t want to go but might have to; and Ruben Loftus-Cheek really does want to go, but has been told he can’t. He’s been left “fuming” by it – but Chelsea reckon he should show some patience. January’s not far off. Friday should be busy elsewhere, too, with regular transfer deadlines in Scotland and most of Europe.

José Mourinho is a saint compared with Burnley’s Lord of provocation | Scott Murray

Burnley chairman Bob Lord took raised hackles to new heights with his comments about Manchester United after Munich It’s often said José Mourinho … don’t worry, this isn’t another column about José Mourinho ... it’s often said he could start a 22-strong media‑accredited brawl in an empty press room. But for services to the field of unnecessarily inflammatory quotation, deliberately incendiary riffing and consequence‑disregarding button‑pressing, Mou is the spiritual love child of Mahatma Gandhi and bed-in era John Lennon when compared with Bob Lord.

Why would anyone be a Sunday league referee? The love of the game

Every Sunday footballers gather on the 82 pitches at Hackney Marshes. It would be total chaos but for the men in the middle By MUNDIAL , part of the Guardian Sport Network There are 23 games of football going on at Hackney Marshes this morning and around the same number will be kicking off this afternoon. There are big, wardrobe lads; there are wiry, ironing board lads; there are stocky, tumble dryer lads. There are all the languages, all the races, all the religions. Tracksuits on, boot bags in hand, they walk past the cafe, into the foyer and over to the fixtures table to find out what pitch they are on today. They’re thinking about their performance last week, about who they have this morning, about how they’re going to make an impact in the first five minutes. Without them, there would be no football at all. No screamers, no crossfield passes, no last-ditch tackles. No free-kicks, no corners, no sendings off. Without the referees, there’d be chaos.

For two minutes Newcastle thought they had got away with it.

A penalty shootout loomed, or so it seemed. It turned out Rafael Benítez’s team were still ramshackle enough to concede two more goals, first to Matty Cash and then from an almost playful chip by Gil Dias. Forest made merry against a Newcastle team bordering on ridiculous. Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2NvwZd8

Sam Allardyce loses case against Daily Telegraph for paper’s ‘sting’

• Press regulator rules against former England manager • Ipso says newspaper justified in subterfuge The former England manager Sam Allardyce has lost his complaint that the Daily Telegraph broke journalism’s rules by sending an undercover reporter to propose a business deal and discuss rules on the third-party ownership of footballers. Allardyce lost his job managing the national team in September 2016 as a result of the sting, in which one of the newspaper’s reporters posed as a representative of a fake sports management agency and secretly recorded their conversations. The press regulator Ipso concluded that the Daily Telegraph’s subterfuge was justified on the basis that it was a “productive and proportionate” way to investigate the types of commercial relationships Allardyce was willing to consider and the findings “could reasonably be considered to demonstrate sufficiently serious impropriety” to justify publication.

Jamie Vardy: ‘I’m a nightmare on the pitch – I get abuse but I give it back’

The Leicester striker who has walked away from England has the perfect antidote to raging supporters – scoring sensational goals As Jamie Vardy ushers Boris, Billy and Ralph out of the door and the sound of barking becomes more distant, the conversation inside turns to Harry Kane, Sergio Agüero and Romelu Lukaku – the only players to have scored more Premier League goals than the Leicester striker since his top-flight debut in 2014. “So I’ve still got room for improvement,” Vardy says. There is the hint of a smile on his face as he delivers that response but the message behind it is serious. “I should have scored more” is the first thing Vardy says when it is put to him that 20 Premier League goals last season, for a team who finished ninth, was a decent return. Even standout moments, such as that terrific controlled volley against West Brom in March, when Vardy connected so sweetly with a ball that dropped over his shoulder, and with his weaker foot, are brushed over.

Is José Mourinho still the man to fix Manchester United’s problems? | Jamie Jackson

Many fans at Old Trafford are blaming the Portuguese for the club’s poor Premier League start but he can turn things around José Mourinho may point to how all three of Tottenham’s goals were down to errors in his rearguard and use this as evidence of why he wanted an elite centre-back this summer. Yet closer examination makes a case that the manager himself is culpable for the leaky defence against Spurs and that its past record shows this should not be a problem department. Ander Herrera played Tottenham onside for Lucas Moura’s first goal, having been a Mourinho selection in an unfamiliar centre-back role in an (also new) 3-3-3-1. And what good has Mourinho’s public pursuit of a new centre-half done to the confidence of Phil Jones and Chris Smalling? Harry Kane outjumped Jones and Smalling was undone by Lucas’s trickery for the Brazilian’s second goal. Jones and Smalling have been an integral part of United conceding the second‑fewest Premier League goals in each of the manager’s tw...

Patrick Vieira faces a crisis at Nice just three weeks into the Ligue 1 season

It’s still early days but Vieira needs to turn things around quickly after a brutal 4-0 defeat at home to Dijon By Adam White and Eric Devin for Get French Football News Nice players were quick to toe a line of togetherness and self-flagellation after their 4-0 home defeat to Dijon. Captain Dante was at once blunt and prosaic: “It hurts a lot, it’s hard, but we mustn’t lower our heads. We have to increase our level of concentration. We missed a lot of chances, but next time we can put them away. We must show character, even if there are things to say to each other, especially after going down 2-0. In front, in attack, we are all responsible.” Midfielder Wylan Cyprien, 12 years younger and less experienced than his captain, was less diplomatic, saying: “The coach hasn’t yet found the formula to get the best performance possible. It hurts, especially at home, but I’m staying positive.” Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://ift.tt/2PKYyjZ

Does partnering with men's clubs help or hinder women's football teams?

Sharing a stadium and facilities can help both men’s and women’s clubs grow, although the tactic isn’t always a guarantee of success Is a downtown stadium a cure-all for any soccer club that needs a boost? And do US women’s soccer teams need to be affiliated with men’s professional clubs? Like so many things in an allegedly simple game, it’s complicated. The Washington Spirit, finishing up an awful campaign in the National Women’s Soccer League, gave Audi Field a test drive on Saturday night. The Spirit’s usual home field – the Maryland SoccerPlex – is more than 30 miles from the Washington Monument. In contrast, the Monument is clearly visible over the stands at the new downtown Audi Field, built for Major League Soccer’s DC United.
