Manchester United have been criticized, and Callum Wilson delivers in the absence of Alexander Isaacs and praised Victor Giocris.
Here are today’s English football news headlines.
Weekend Snack Ice Cream
Gary Neville accuses Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay of sending “bad vibes” during Man United’s 6-3 defeat to Man City.
It ended 0-4 even before the break and Neville believes Eric ten Hag’s players should accept defeat.
– I don’t think that when analyzing the performance of Man United, you should say “Why didn’t Casemiro start alongside McTominay?”. I don’t think it was a mistake by Ten Hag, says Neville on the Sky Sports podcast.
– Dirty mistakes, anxiety in possession and lack of composure were. Then I’m not talking about the defenders at the back who are under pressure, but about the midfielders and forwards: Rashford, Eriksen, Fernandes and McTominay.
Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes the defenders have not been given enough coverage.
What I can’t imagine for me is that Man United defended very poorly during the first half, says Wenger at beIN Sports.
– From the first minute, Diogo Dalot received a yellow card, while (Jadon) Sancho and Anthony did not help in the defensive end.
Weekend Status
Erling Haaland and Phil Foden scored a hat-trick in Man City’s meeting with Man United. This is the third time this has happened Premier League After Robert Perez and Jermaine Pennant in 2003 in Arsenal’s 6-1 win over Southampton, Ayuse Perez and Jimmy Vardy in 2019 when Leicester beat Southampton 9-0.
Quote from the weekend
Self-confidence is a small flower, and if someone writes on it…
Jurgen Klopp on Sky Sports in Liverpool’s 3-3 draw with Brighton at Anfield, which leaves the team in ninth place in the Premier League table.
Farewell to the weekend
Bruno Lage is the third coach to be sacked from the Premier League. The loss to West Ham was the last straw for the Wolverhampton owners, who spent £100m during the transfer window. Wolves are currently in third place in the table. According to the Daily Mail, it is not inconceivable that a coach within the club, for example Under-21 coach James Collins, will replace.
Back this weekend
“Wilson shows Isaacs he’s still the main character,” reads one of the Daily Mail’s headlines. It’s about Newcastle’s 4-1 win away to Fulham which Alexander Isaacs missed due to injury. Instead, Callum Wilson returned after a five-week injury and scored one of the goals.
– He’s a very important part of our team, says Eddie Howe, according to the paper.
Swedish Weekly
Victor Geocres was the hero of the match in Coventry’s 1-0 win over Middlesbrough in the tournament. After the meeting, the striker was praised, among other things, by rival coach Chris Wilder, who admitted that the club tried to sign him last summer.
– Yes, we made an attempt, we take refuge in the club, so there is nothing to hide, says Wilder, according to the Coventry Telegraph.
– Like I said, he was superior today. Coventry knew all about it of course, it was a conversation between our boss and their boss, so nothing came of it. But there was interest.
Despite the three points, Coventry is last on the table.
