West Ham came from behind to win an absolute blockbuster of a match against Huddersfield on Saturday, and Manuel Pellegrini will surely have learned some valuable lessons about his front men.

On the chalkboard

The Hammers were stunned by Huddersfield on Saturday, as the Terriers took a 3-1 lead despite Mark Noble scoring an early penalty.

Juninho Bacuna levelled for the visitors at the London Stadium before Karlan Grant struck twice to give them that comfortable lead, or so they thought.

Who is your club’s worst ever January signing? The Pl>ymaker FC squad have picked theirs in the video below and they didn’t disappoint…

The Irons stormed back into the match after some smart substitutions by Pellegrini, and the boss must now recognise that Marko Arnautovic simply doesn’t want to be out there anymore. The difference after the Austrian left the pitch was night and day.

Time to move on

Arnautovic came about as close to leaving the club as he possibly could have come in January, as his brother and agent pleaded with the Irons to allow him clear passage to the riches of Chinese football.

The 29 year-old has not scored since an FA Cup strike at the beginning of January, and he appeared to be booed off the pitch by some sections of the London Stadium on Saturday, and deservedly so.

His replacement, Lucas Perez, is hardly the most talented player on the pitch but he at least showed full commitment to the cause once he entered the fray.

Pellegrini is trying to build a culture of intense, fluid, attacking football, and having a player in the side who would rather sulk than take part is simply not going to cut it – “Arnie” touched the ball just 39 times before being substituted.

With a squad growing in confidence but not much left to play for this season, the boss will surely be plotting out his plans for the next campaign, and it bears no benefit to keep playing a player who is looking more and more likely to try and force an exit again this summer.

It’s time to move on and start looking towards the future.

West Ham United edged a seven-goal thriller at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they scored late to beat Huddersfield Town.

Huddersfield led 3-1 in the English capital, but the Hammers scored three times in the final 15 minutes to complete a remarkable turnaround.

It was not the best defensive performance from Manuel Pellegrini’s side, but the West Ham fans were pleased with the display of Aaron Cresswell.

Cresswell – on £50,000 a week – has previously been criticised by the club’s supporters, but he assisted Angelo Ogbonna for his team’s second against the Terriers.

Meanwhile, according to WhoScored, the 29-year-old, who finished the match with the captain’s armband, had three shots, won four aerial duels and made three tackles during his 90 minutes on the field.

Check out the below above to see football played as you’ve never seen it before… in a maze!

Cresswell’s form has not always been the best this season, but it would be fair to say that the West Ham fans were pleased with what they saw on Saturday afternoon.

Manchester City fans have taken to Twitter to discuss Ilkay Gundogan’s decision to delay signing a new contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The German international became Pep Guardiola’s first signing as City manager back in 2016, signing from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund for a fee of around £20m.

Gundogan has scored 12 league goals for the club so far, and is currently embarking on his third season in a sky blue shirt – he also became a Premier League champion for the first time last year.

The 28-year-old current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2020, and his versatility and tactical understanding has seen him become a key member of the team – Gundogan can play at defensive midfield, central midfield and attacking midfield.

Who has been Man City’s best player this season? Pl>ymaker FC’s Ant Cooper has his say in the video below…

However, he is yet to agree terms on a new contract, which could easily have a portion of the club’s fanbase worried about losing a valued first-team member on the cheap.

Let’s see what the City fans are saying about the situation on Twitter…

Matt Polster has spoken out about his desire for more playing time at Rangers, and Steven Gerrard would be foolish not to heed the American’s advice.

Polster signed for Rangers in January for a small fee, but the 25 year-old is yet to make a first team appearance for the Gers.

He is now fit and raring to go though, and the USA international could actually provide a big boost to Gerrard as the season draws to a close.

What’s he said?

“I’d love to be a part of the derby,” he said, reports The Express.

“Obviously it’s a big match. I haven’t even seen it live. I was away when we played them at the end of the year.

“It’ll be quite a day. The expectation is always the same, you want to beat them.

Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he’s still got it! Check out the video below…

“It was quite frustrating missing out against Dundee,” he continued. The January arrival was supposed to make his debut but suffered an injury.

“The manager told me before going out to training that I was going to make my debut – but things didn’t happen as I would have liked.

“I didn’t feel comfortable and I didn’t want to put the team or him in a difficult position where I would start the match but then after 20 or 30 minutes and have to be pulled out.”

Surprise for the Old Firm?

First of all, Polster deserves credit for his team-first attitude, as he certainly wouldn’t have been the first player to force his way onto the pitch despite an injury only for it to cost his side.

His hunger and desire also provide quite the boost for Gerrard, as the squad seems to have lost a bit of bite in the last few weeks, failing to win a single game in the month of March.

Polster is versatile enough to play on either defensive flank or in midfield, and with the Gers struggling to find success with any of their left-back options, could the American provide cover in an unfamiliar role against Celtic?

He certainly won’t lack fight, and that’s exactly what fans want to see in the Old Firm.

يسابق نادي مانشستر يونايتد المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، الزمن من أجل حسم صفقة جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، عثمان ديمبلي.

ويأمل مانشستر يونايتد في الانتهاء من الصفقة قبل غلق باب سوق الانتقالات الصيفي بنهاية اليوم، الإثنين، على سبيل الإعارة على الرغم من رغبة ديمبلي في الانتقال النهائي.

ويركز النادي الإنجليزي على حسم صفقة المهاجم الصريح واستقر على اسم إدينسون كافاني، لكن لا تغيب أنظاره عن ديمبلي بعد فشل مفاوضاته مع بوروسيا دورتموند لضم جادون سانشو، بحسب صحيفة “إندبندنت” البريطانية.

هناك تفاؤل لدى مانشستر يونايتد في تغيير الفرنسي لوجهة نظره برفض الإعارة، والتواجد في قلعة “أولد ترافورد” هذا الموسم وتكوين ثنائي جديد مع كافاني.

الجدير بالذكر أن ديمبلي يعاني منذ بداية الموسم مع المدرب رونالد كومان، في برشلونة، حيث يفضل الاعتماد على الثنائي الجديد بيدري وترينكاو بدلاً منه في المباريات التي لعبها في الدوري الإسباني حتى الآن.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard ripped into his team for their second-half performance in the 4-0 win against Dundee at Ibrox on Wednesday night, and his comments might not be positive for midfielder Steven Davis.

What’s the word, then?

When Rangers signed the 34-year-old from Southampton during the January transfer window the expectation surely would have been that he would be a key player for them in the second-half of the campaign, but it hasn’t really worked out that way.

The Northern Ireland international has usually had to settle for a cameo from the substitutes’ bench – as he did against the Dens Park outfit – although he didn’t even get on the pitch in the defeat to Aberdeen at the beginning of February.

The 5ft 8in star replaced Arfield at the break on Wednesday with the scoreline at 3-0, but Gerrard was not impressed with what he saw from his players after the interval, via the BBC: “It’s another clean sheet, it’s another strong win, but there were two sides to us tonight.

“If you compare the first half to the second, it’s completely different. We were outstanding for certainly half an hour. In the second half, I didn’t really recognise us.”

Having a go at Davis?

While the veteran Northern Irishman won’t be getting individual stick from the 38-year-old manager, the fact that he replaced the influential Arfield at half-time for a poor second-half showing suggests he is one of those in the firing line.

The34-year-old simply hasn’t hit the heights following his return to Ibrox last month, and the latest victory was just another example of that.

Davis clearly needs to improve in terms of quality on the ball and movement in the coming weeks and months if he wants to be a regular in the XI, as he is behind the likes of Arfield, Ryan Jack and Glen Kamara for a midfield spot as things stand.

Tottenham Hotspur won’t accept anything less than a top four spot in the current campaign, despite their recent run of poor form, as they’ve enjoyed plenty of success under Mauricio Pochettino.

However, one big worry for fans in recent times has been Mauricio Pochettino’s future, as according to The Sun, Tottenham fear that the Argentine will quit for Real Madrid in the summer.

Interestingly, the report states that Pochettino has told Daniel Levy that his burning ambition is to win titles and he wants the financial backing to compete for the game’s top honours.

Pochettino has completely transformed Spurs over the years, as well as establishing himself as one of the best managers in the whole of world football, so making sure he stays in North London is vital.

One thing that Levy must to do show the 46-year-old that he means business is to splash out on a number of big-name signings in the summer transfer window. Indeed, the North London club have been hugely disappointing on the transfer front in recent times as they’ve failed to spend a single penny in the last two windows.

Spurs already have a strong squad but Levy needs to draft in some reinforcements if the Lilywhites are to stand any chance of challenging for silverware and top honours, so backing the Argentine and making promises prior to the summer transfer window would be a good start.

Also, Levy can show his ambition by gettingChristian Eriksen to sign a long-term deal, as the Dane’s contract runs out at the end of the current campaign. Eriksen has been one of the shining lights for Spurs in in recent years and he’s arguably one of the best attacking midfielders in world football, so offering him whatever he wants in order to get him to put pen to paper would show Pochettino that he’s willing to go the extra mile to keep talent at the club.

QPR finally gave their fans something to – somewhat – be happy about as they came back from two down to draw away at Hull on Saturday, having been the Championship’s punching bag for the last couple of months.

The result was much-needed after loss to Rotherham, in which Darnell Furlong gave away a free-kick in the dying seconds, from which their visitors were allowed to score a winner.

The young right-back has, like many of his teammates, been poor in recent weeks so the surely nearing return of Angel Rangel to the ranks will be a huge relief to fans.

Be sure to check out the incredible story of the man who rose from a Tanzanian refugee camp to become one of Australia’s biggest football stars in the video below…

The veteran defender tore a tendon during the win over Leeds in February and completed a solid 45 minutes for the R’s in a friendly against Southampton this week. Geoff Cameron, who has also been injured, got through the whole game.

Here’s what the Hoops faithful had to say on Twitter, with many relishing the 5 ft 10 Spaniard’s comeback…

The likes of Yan Valery and Michael Obafemi have benefited greatly since Ralph Hasenhuttl took the Southampton wheel, with the former scoring his first goal – and some goal indeed – for the club in the loss to Manchester United on Saturday.

The pair have flourished since coming through the academy and are rightly playing for the first team. There is one player who hasn’t been so fortunate but whose performances on loan should show Hasenhuttl that perhaps he should be reintegrated into the senior squad next term.

Since signing for MK Dons in January, the 22-year-old has netted two goals in six games, with his impressive displays earning him the Royal Cabs Player of the Month award for February.

Watch how to cross the road like a boss with freestyler Ben Nuttall in the video below…

Having seen the success of the aforementioned duo this season and what Hesketh can do in the past, many Southampton fans on Twitter were questioning why the Stockport-born midfielder is currently plying his trade in League Two…
