Musa a Promising Addition to Leicester's Title Winning Squad

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, ago. 8 2016 17:20
Musa a Promising Addition to Leicester's Title Winning Squad In the past week, Nigerian football feels as though it’s approached some sort of apotheosis. It’s been chaotic, it’s been shambolic, it’s been embarrassing, and yet amid the clouds there has been, on the pitch, much that is positive and offers hope for the future.Three days a...

Why West Ham's Interest in Ayew Comes As Little Shock

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, ago. 1 2016 15:05
Why West Ham's Interest in Ayew Comes As Little Shock That West Ham United are interested in Andre Ayew is not surprising. The Ghanaian 26-year-old, after all, proved his quality with Marseille and then proved he could thrive in the Premier League with Swansea City. On his day, as perhaps he showed most thrillingly against Tunisia in the African Cup of...

Carvalho coming of age to epitomise Portugal pragmatism

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jul. 11 2016 12:41
Carvalho coming of age to epitomise Portugal pragmatism Perhaps Portugal’s greatest achievement was that they did it without their key man, that they had the team spirit and the organisation to overcome the loss of a player who had been central to everything they had done in the tournament to that point. But enough about the semi-final – at l...

Portugal Must Find Correct Midfield Balance Without Carvalho

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jul. 4 2016 11:34
Portugal Must Find Correct Midfield Balance Without Carvalho This is a Portugal side that seems determined to be counter-intuitive. They have two players in Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo who have, over their careers, become noted for their reluctance to track back and yet Portugal in the knockout stages have looked as defensively resolute as anyone – and t...

History Repeating Itself as Germany Fix Early Issues Mid-Tournament

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jun. 27 2016 15:52
History Repeating Itself as Germany Fix Early Issues Mid-Tournament At the World Cup, Germany struggled up to the quarter-final. It’s true they beat Portugal 4-0, but that was after the early dismissal of Pepe. Ghana and Algeria both could have beaten them with a kinder run of the ball. But then Jogi Low sorted out his problems at centre-forward and at right-b...

Pogba Making Progress After Frustrating Start to Euro 2016

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jun. 20 2016 14:22
Pogba Making Progress After Frustrating Start to Euro 2016 There are two ways of responding to criticism and over the past week Paul Pogba has tried them both. On Wednesday, he seemed to aim an up yours gesture at the press-box following France’s second goal in their win over Albania (although he denies it, claiming he was merely celebrating). Then on...

Masterful Modric Inspires Convincing Croatia Win

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jun. 13 2016 10:21
Masterful Modric Inspires Convincing Croatia Win As 1-0s go, Croatia’s victory over Turkey on Sunday was pretty emphatic. Turkey were poor, surprisingly stodgy given their impressive end to the qualifying tournament, but there was plenty to admire from Croatia, even if they ended up killing the game with time-wasting rather than trusting in ...

Vardy Bid Suggests Change of Tack from Wenger but Will it Work?

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, jun. 6 2016 14:36
Vardy Bid Suggests Change of Tack from Wenger but Will it Work? Jamie Vardy was largely ineffective for England against Portugal. He had just eight touches in the game – seven on the left flank and a kick-off. Many blamed Roy Hodgson and his demand that his strikers should split and close down the opposing full-backs. But that is, at best, a partial explan...

Why a Three-man Midfield is Crucial for England at Euro 2016

by Jonathan Wilson at martes, may. 31 2016 12:30
Why a Three-man Midfield is Crucial for England at Euro 2016 There is something very depressing about the way the process repeats every time a tournament comes round. The period of friendlies before the event itself is not even a phony war - it’s worse than that. Roy Hodgson, hopefully, knows what he’s looking out for and keeping his mind clear, f...

Why Stagnant United Are Right to Rid Themselves of Van Gaal

by Jonathan Wilson at lunes, may. 23 2016 11:45
Why Stagnant United Are Right to Rid Themselves of Van Gaal When the news came that Louis van Gaal was to be replaced as manager of Manchester United, it was hardly a surprise. As he snappishly observed in his press conference following the FA Cup final, his departure had been anticipated for six months. And yet the strange thing is that in the second half o...
