Arsene Wants Signing of "Outstanding" $148,000-a-week Star for Arsenal

Zaryab — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 05:48:18 +0000

Arsenal failed to beat West Brom in the Premier League and are now three points behind Liverpool, who occupy the final CL qualification spot at the moment.
The Gunners must splash the cash to strengthen their squad in the winter transfer window and the latest reports going on in the media are intriguing.
It is likely that Alexis Sanchez will depart the Emirates sooner rather than later and according to reports (Daily Star), Arsene Wenger wants Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha when Alexis eventually joins Manchester City.

The 25-year-old Ivorian international was linked with a move away from the Eagles in the summer but then opted to sign a new deal worth £110,000-a-week ($148,000-a-week) with the club (Guardian).
The former Red Devils attacker might be the best playmaker in the bottom half of the table and last month, James McArthur heavily praised him and stated (Mirror):

“He is an outstanding player. A great talent. With younger talent, sometimes you get inconsistency. With Wilfried, his consistency levels are remarkable. He is playing well week in, week out and creating goals and scoring. I would hate to play against him.”

In the current campaign, so far, Wilfried has featured in 15 league games, scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists.
In your opinion, is Zaha good enough to replace Alexis at Arsenal?

The North Londoners bounced back from 2 goals down to earn a draw vs Liverpool in their last league game.
As far as the team news is concerned, Nacho Monreal started in the central defense with Koscielny against the Reds but he is currently suffering from an ankle injury. In his place, Mustafi should return to the starting XI.

Maitland-Niles did well to deal with Mohamed Salah in the last contest but the 20-year-old should be replaced by more experienced Sead Kolasinac in the starting XI.
The likes of Jack Wilshere and Granit Xhaka should retain their places in the center of the park with Aaron Ramsey still out injured.
In the attack, Alexis, Ozil and Iwobi will probably start behind Lacazette. Here is Arsenal’s strongest possible 4-2-3-1 XI vs Palace.

As far as the Chilean international is concerned, Arsene Wenger has already identified his replacement.
According to an exclusive report covered by The Sun, Wenger is prepared to let Sanchez leave and ready to launch a 35 million pounds move to hire the services of Ivorian international and Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha.

Hazard Starts as CF – Chelsea's Strongest Possible 3-4-3 XI vs Palace

Omer — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 05:43:56 +0000

Chelsea will collide against Crystal Palace when the Premier League returns this weekend and the Blues should be considered favorites to earn all three points.
The Eagles have lost all seven PL games in the new campaign so far. On the other hand, the reigning Champions have already lost twice in the league this season.
Conte’s men are six points behind the Manchester clubs and must get back to winning ways.
As far as the team news is concerned, star midfielder Kante and center forward Morata are suffering from hamstring concerns and should be out of the game.
In such a scenario, we can expect star playmaker Eden Hazard to start as the lone striker up front against Palace. The likes of Pedro and Willian should start with the Belgian international in the attacking third.
In the absence of Kante, Fabregas and summer signing Bakayoko should start in the center of the park for the Blues. Here is Chelsea’s strongest possible 3-4-3 XI vs Palace.

5 Reasons Why Sacking De Boer was the Right thing to do

admin — Fri, 15 Sep 2017 05:34:10 +0000

Was anyone really shocked when Crystal Palace gave Frank de Boer the boot after just four games in charge?
Given the cutthroat nature of the Premier League, this certainly is not a heart stopping shock. However, with the record for shortest spell in charge of a Premier League club now broken, it’s fair to say it’s been enough to cause a few palpitations within English football.
With other managers now looking nervously over their shoulders, the inquest has begun as fans, players and pundits try to dissect the situation and establish if Palace’s chairman Steve Parish was right to pull the trigger this early.
Well, looking at the latest table, Palace are propping up the rest of the league with zero points, seven goals conceded and zero goals scored. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the bookmakers have already written off the Eagles. Taking a quick look through all the football betting odds, the team at Sun Bets has cast out the side’s odds of winning the league to a distant 1,000/1 but reeled in the relegation odds to a worrying 5/4.
For all intents and purposes, de Boer’s brief reign as Palace manager was a statistical nightmare, but does it mean it was right to sack him? Was he given enough time to find his groove or did the suits at the top need to stem the bleeding before it turned into a gaping wound? Well, there’s certainly a case to be made that the sacking was premature. However, as we’re about to demonstrate, there are also five solid reasons why it was not only the right time, but necessary to deal with the Dutchman sooner rather than later.
Crystal Palace Aren’t Ajax
Frank de Boer is a product of the Ajax system and it’s something he can’t escape. Unfortunately, as attractive and successful as this precise, passing style of football has been over the decades, it’s not something the Palace players were able to adapt to. That’s not to say they weren’t physically capable, it’s more that they’ve been conditioned to play a more direct, less “fancy” style over the seasons.
From Neil Warnock and Alan Pardew to Sam Allardyce, Palace have been encouraged to play a tough brand of football and, in patches, it works. Because of this, shifting to a 3-4-3 formation that’s passed on intricate movement was virtually doomed to fail from the start. The saying “you can’t hammer a square peg into a round hole” sums up the situation best and one of the main reasons de Boer wasn’t able to get the best out of his players.
He Was a Confidence Killer
Trying to make an entire team conform to a formation is one thing, but when you single out players at a critical stage in their careers and lambaste them, it’s never a good thing. The Dutchman was particularly critical of Martin Kelly and Joel Ward. The former was told in no uncertain terms that he “wasn’t good enough” to play for Palace (despite serving his apprentice at Liverpool), while the latter couldn’t even get a game in an 11 vs. 11 training match.
In fact, as if to rub salt into Ward’s wound, de Boer reportedly told him to watch from the sidelines and learn how to play as a wingback. Shattering the confidence of two solid young players in your first few weeks as a manager is reprehensible and, in many respects, more than enough of a reason to show someone the door.

You Have to Fail Fast
In the world of online tech there’s a saying that start-ups often use and it’s “fail fast”. Basically, if an idea is going to work, you’ll know within a very short space of time. Because the tech world is moving at such as fast pace, there isn’t time to ponder and consider the what ifs. If you have a plan, you stick to it and throw everything at it from the start and see what happens. If it fails within weeks, you cut your losses and move on. In this instance, Parish has done the right thing. To many it was obvious the brand of football de Boer was trying to bring to the table wasn’t going to work.
That’s Just the Way It Is
This point is one that could be applied to any Premier League manager, so it would be wrong to exclude de Boer from the mix. Put simply, if you don’t win games at the top level of English football, you’ll get sacked. With dozens of top coaches all ready to step in on a moment’s notice and secure a lucrative contract with some of the top football clubs in the world, there simply isn’t room for error.
Yes, there have been some exceptions to the rule – Arsene Wenger possibly being one of them – but the bottom line is that if you can’t win games, you won’t keep your job. In four matches, de Boer’s side failed to pick up a point and, what’s more, it didn’t even look as though they were close. With no goals scored and losses to Huddersfield (3-0) and Swansea (2-0), it’s obvious from the early results that either something had to change of Palace fans could expect to see their players struggle against even the weakest of Premier League sides this season.
De Boer Was “A Bit of a Weirdo”
The final reason why it was right to sack de Boer is possibly slightly subjective and based on hearsay, but there’s very rarely any smoke without fire. According to reports (Daily Mail), de Boer was “difficult” to get along with and, for some, a “bit of a weirdo”. We certainly know he was a hard-nosed player in his day and that likely translated into his managerial style, but it’s not good when personalities clash in the dressing room. Even if he’s not a “weirdo”, the very fact his personality and temperament is being mentioned suggests there were issues. When this is the case, things rarely improve. Like a relationship that’s gone sour, the only sensible thing to do is breakup and, in this case, it seems right that Palace divorced themselves from de Boer.

Sturridge Starts – Liverpool's Predicted 4-2-3-1 XI vs Palace

Marek — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 06:36:10 +0000

Liverpool have conceded 4 goals in the first two games of the season and they must solve the defensive dilemma sooner rather than later if they want to challenge for big prizes this season.
The Reds will collide against Crystal Palace tomorrow in their first home game of the season. Who will come out on top? Not to forget, Benteke was the chief tormentor as the Eagles defeated Liverpool at Anfield last season.
As far as Liverpool’s team news is concerned, Sturridge is expected to be ready (LFC) for the game and he should return to the starting XI.

Klopp must utilize a more attacking 4-2-3-1 formation at home instead of the usual 4-3-3 and he must get Henderson out of the starting XI. The England international was poor vs Watford and Hoffenheim.
Spanish international Alberto Moreno somehow retained his starting place for the Champions League contest but he should be ousted as well. We can expect Robertson to make his debut tomorrow.
Here is Liverpool’s strongest possible 4-2-3-1 XI vs Palace.

Picture – Man United's Confirmed XI vs Palace

Marek — Sun, 21 May 2017 13:15:05 +0000

Manchester United will remain 6th no matter what happens today and therefore, Mourinho has opted to start a very weak side with majority of the youngsters in the lineup vs Crystal Palace.
The Portuguese boss clearly has all eyes on the upcoming Europa League final against Ajax in the midweek.
The Eagles are currently 13th in the table and they can finish the season in 11th place if results go their way.
Here is Man United’s confirmed XI vs Palace.

Manchester United's Probable 4-2-3-1 XI vs Crystal Palace

Marek — Sat, 20 May 2017 08:02:22 +0000

For Jose Mourinho, Manchester United’s final PL game is pretty much meaningless. He opted to use weakened teams against Arsenal, Spurs and Southampton and ended up earning just one point.
United will play in the Europa League final on Wendesday and we can expect Jose start a very weak team against Palace in the Premier League tomorrow knowing that the team’s position in the table will remain the same no matter what the outcome.
Expect more than a few youngsters to start for the Red Devils against the Eagles.
Joel Pereira is expected to start in goal. As far as the defense is concerned, the likes of Tuanzebe and Mitchell may start in the fullback positions. Eric Bailly is suspended for the EL final vs Ajax and he will probably partner Chris Smalling in the central defense.
In the center of the park, Willock may start with Michael Carrick. As far as the attack is concerned, McTominay is expected to start with Mata and Martial behind Rooney.

Mauricio Has to Agree $51million Star Signing for Spurs

Omer — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 10:17:51 +0000

Chelsea won their game against Southampton last night and have stretched their lead at the top of the table to 7 points.
Tottennham must bounce back from their disappointing defeat against the Blues to beat Crystal Palace in the Premier League tonight. The Eagles are in top form at the moment and defeated Liverpool at Anfield in their last game.
As far as the transfers are concerned, Mauricio Pochettino has been a huge admirer of Palace star Wilfried Zaha and the Argentine boss has been trying to sign him for quite some time.
If the latest reports are anything to go by (The Times) then Palace have slapped a mammoth price tag of 40 million pounds ($51million) on their prized asset.
As per the provided Times link, the North Londoner are expected to return with an offer to sign the ex Man United playmaker and in all fairness, they must agree his signing in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham lack depth in their team and someone as versatile as Wilfried can solve the dilemma in the attack for them. Lack of quality depth was the main reason why Spurs failed in the Champions League and also in the Europa League.
The 24-year-old Ivorian international can play on either flank and can also play behind the center forward if needed.
Zaha has been in fantastic form for the Eagles in the current campaign. So far, in 29 league starts, he has directly contributed in 17 goals (6 goals and 11 assists).
The above mentioned price tag is very high but Spurs can sell the out of form Moussa Sissoko and splash the cash to hire the services of Zaha.
