Wolves fans react to Ryan Bennett’s 100th Premier League appearance

Wolves pulled off one of the shocks of the weekend as they defeated reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on their own patch to add further woe to their title hopes.

Pep Guardiola’s side now sit some eight points behind league leaders Liverpool while Wolves have enjoyed an upturn in form with three straight victories in all competitions.

Adama Traore netted a brace inside the final ten minutes to secure the victory at the Etihad Stadium.

There was an early scare in the first half when utility man Romain Saiss suffered a hamstring injury and had to be substituted in just the 13th minute.

Luckily, Nuno Santo was able to call on centre-back Ryan Bennett, who in recent games has been dropped.

But he reacted like a true professional to help his side record a clean sheet against a frontline containing Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, who have scored 14 goals between them already this season.

It was also a landmark game for the 29-year-old as he made his 100th appearance in the Premier League, which is a solid return from a player that Wolves managed to pick up on a free transfer in 2017.

Several fans have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on the occasion with one supporter claiming it was ‘well deserved.’

Another member of the Molineux faithful believes Bennett has been one of the best signings the club have made in recent times while one more hailed him as a ‘top professional.’

Here’s the best of the reaction:

Jan Vertonghen’s Tottenham future leads to debate among club’s fans

[ad_pod ]

According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino is not convinced that centre-back Jan Vertonghen deserves a new contract.

Vertonghen has made close to 300 appearances for Spurs since arriving from Ajax in 2012, but the Belgium international has struggled to show his best form this season – managing just 1.3 tackles per game in the Premier League.

The defender was actually left out of Tottenham’s first three league games of the campaign, but he has played the full 90 minutes in their last three.

The 32-year-old will see his current deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expire at the end of the season.

However, according to Football Insider, Pochettino is concerned by Vertonghen’s form this term and is unsure whether to sanction a fresh contract.

A number of Spurs fans have been on social media offering their views on the situation – and there are some mixed views.

A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:

West Brom loanee Oliver Burke shares a snap from his La Liga debut

Unfortunately, Burke’s debut in Spain didn’t go as planned.

Alaves were beaten 1-0 by Sevilla, and a quick look at the stats suggests that they were outplayed as well.

Sevilla had more shots, more possession and a higher pass success rate.

Burke himself didn’t seem to have much of an impact after coming on at half-time, as his WhoScored rating was just 6.22 on his debut.

You can’t look too much into it due to the fact that it was his first appearance in a new division, but it’s certainly not an encouraging start to his loan spell.

Championship Transfer Roundup: Clarke-Salter news, West Brom eye Holgate, Osborn could leave

[ad_pod ]

Yesterday’s Championship transfer roundup was made up of Leeds’ interest in a Premier League defender, West Brom’s pursuit of a rival full-back and QPR’s desire to bring in a Chelsea starlet. Today’s edition shares news on another Blues youngster, the Baggies’ chase of a 22-year-old and the potential departure of a Nottingham Forest midfielder to the Premier League.

Birmingham ahead of Leeds for Clarke-Salter

With Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, amongst others, ahead of him in the race for a starting spot at Stamford Bridge, Jake Clarke-Salter always looked set to move out on loan ahead of the new season. Leeds were reportedly interested in taking him to Elland Road, but themselves and Swansea have been beaten to his signature by another second-tier club. It has been confirmed that the 21-year-old has completed a season-long switch to Birmingham City. The England U21 international spent last season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem and played 29 games for them in the Eredivisie.

West Brom want to re-sign Holgate

Despite signing Darnell Furlong from QPR, Slaven Bilic and West Brom are still looking to bring in another defender. According to The Daily Mail, the Baggies have enquired about re-signing Everton’s Mason Holgate on loan for the upcoming campaign. During his time at the Hawthorns last season, the 22-year-old made 23 appearances for the Midlands outfit. Since signing from Barnsley in 2015, the full-back has played 48 games for the Toffees.

Sheffield United close to Osborn

Nottingham Forest have already seen nine players leave the club this summer, and it appears that a tenth may soon be walking out of the door. According to Football Insider, newly-promoted Premier League side Sheffield United are on the verge of signing midfielder Ben Osborn. The 24-year-old is reportedly already having a medical at Bramall Lane, with Forest giving the former England U20 international permission to hold talks with the Blades ahead of the expected switch. Osborn has made 230 appearances in six years at the City Ground and has scored 16 goals.

Portsmouth: Curtis Tilt can be a solid quick-fix solution to solve Matt Clarke void

With Matt Clarke to Brighton now a done deal, Portsmouth’s attention now turns to signing his successor.

The 22-year-old defender leaves a gaping hole in the Pompey defence that will need to be filled this summer, and with a reported £3.5 million received for Clarke via the Argus, Kenny Jackett won’t be short of cash to spend on a suitable replacement, and an interesting name has already popped up.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, Portsmouth are keen on Blackpool defender Curtis Tilt but face a financial barrier for the centre-back’s signature in terms of sorting out a transfer fee with the Seasiders as well as finalising personal demands for the 27-year-old, but these obstacles could be worth knocking down for Pompey.

Tilt was a standout performer for Terry McPhillips’ side last season, playing in 42 games for Blackpool and notching up a decent four goals and three assists for the League One club, and given his impressive form with the former Premier League side last campaign, the centre-back could be a solid replacement for Clarke.

As well as being an experienced pro and five years older than Clarke, Tilt’s physicality and imposing presence in defence — with sports writer Tim Nash describing him as a centre-back with sheer size and strength (via North Wales Live) — is something the now Brighton defender missed greatly in his game.

Standing three inches taller than Clarke, Tilt’s height and impressive goalscoring record will add another layer to Portsmouth’s defence, and with £3.5 million to spend on finding a replacement, Pompey can’t get much better than the Blackpool man.

Portsmouth fans, would Tilt be a good replacement for Clarke? Let us know!

جوارديولا مشيدًا بتألق ستونز أمام كريستال بالاس: يستحق الأفضل وسعيد من أجله

أشاد بيب جوارديولا مدرب مانشستر سيتي بأداء اللاعب جون ستونز في مباراة الأمس أمام كريستال بالاس في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة التاسعة عشر، حيث فاز مانشستر سيتي بأربعة أهداف دون رد. أهداف مباراة مانشستر سيتي وكريستال بالاس

وقدم ستونز أداءً رائعًا في اللقاء، حيث تمكن من تسجيل الهدف الأول والثالث.

وقال جوارديولا في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “إعادة اكتشاف ستونز لنفسه؟ هذا أمر عائد إليه، إذا كان هناك شخص واحد يستحق ذلك، فهو جون”.

وأضاف: “لقد ناضل ستونز لأسباب عديدة في الماضي، كيفية تغلبه على ذلك تعود إليه هو”.

وواصل: “هو يرغب في اللعب، لا يرتكب أخطاءً وأنشأ شراكة جيدة مع روبن دياز، إذا كان هناك لاعب واحد أنا سعيد له لأن كل شيء يسير على ما يرام معه فهو ستونز، هو يلعب لأنه يستحق ذلك”.

واستكمل: “إذا كان هناك رجل واحد يستحق الأفضل هو جونز، إنه إنسان رائع، يجب أن يكون والديه فخورين به للغاية، كما قلت كان يعاني من مشاكل في الماضي، لا يمكن للمدرب أن يمنح ثقته لكل شخص، هو تغلب على ذلك وسعيد من أجله”.

Jarrod Bowen would offer Everton a more direct alternative to Theo Walcott

[ad_pod ]

According to an exclusive report from Football League World, Everton are interested in signing Hull City forward Jarrod Bowen.

Bowen built on an eye-catching 2017/18 campaign – in which he hit 14 goals – by notching eight more last term; his 22 Championship strikes helped the Tigers to a solid 13th place finish, 12 points adrift of a play-off spot.

Check out a fan’s outrageous call for England to take a leaf of out cricket and rugby’s book after a limp Nations League performance in the video below…

He has emerged as Hull’s talisman, and it would be a real blow for them if he was to leave this summer – even more so after the departure of Nigel Adkins. The aforementioned Football League World report states that Bowen will ‘definitely’ get his move away this summer, and that an unnamed Premier League side has already had an offer rejected.

If Bowen did arrive at Goodison Park, where would he fit into Marco Silva’s plans?

Firstly, the Englishman is a right-sided forward who prefers to play with the intention of troubling the opposition goalkeeper at the forefront of his mind, as the stats reinforce.

He would, in that case, arrive as competition for Theo Walcott on that flank – Bowen appeared 40 times on the right wing last term, whilst the former Arsenal man played 18 games out there not including his appearances from the bench.

Albeit in a league below, Bowen’s stats are far superior.

The 5 ft 9 attacker scored almost five times as many goals as Walcott managed and recorded double the amount of assists, but the finer details bolster the suggestion that Bowen is a more direct goal threat.

The former Hereford United man takes 2.5 shots per game compared to Walcott’s 1.2, which speaks volumes about how hard the 22-year-old tries to put the ball in the net compared to the England international.

Bowen also records almost double the amount of dribbles per game in comparison to the 30-year-old – taking the game to the opposition backline is clearly a priority of his when he steps foot out on to the pitch.

Walcott was a source of great frustration for the Everton supporters last season and fans rejoiced when it was reported that his future seemed uncertain, so if Bowen signed, they would at least be treated to a more exciting presence out on the right flank in 2019/20.
