Changing the subject, miss, if you don't mind, how has your husband been lately? A lot of Downers have gotten into the city lately, it must be a lot of work to put up with. -she sighs- I try to get the downers to start their rehabilitation but they don't even try! I really wish I could help them. -Lou looks at her silver pocket watch, a melancholy expression appears on her face with the memories-
.......
but , alas -she smiles again-I'll see you another time Alisson dear, my brother must be very worried already. Maybe on another occasion you can tell me more about him... mr wright i mean, i would like to know him better but I don't dare to talk to him

Jordan Pickford: Everton goalkeeper's 'erratic' form a dilemma for England
New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/jordan-pickford-everton-goalkeepers-erratic-form-a-dilemma-for-england/
Jordan Pickford: Everton goalkeeper's 'erratic' form a dilemma for England
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jordan Pickford has played in all of Everton’s Premier League matches this season, conceding 38 goals in 26 games
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford’s “erratic” club form has given England boss Gareth Southgate a “dilemma”, says former Blackburn striker Chris Sutton.
Pickford, 25, played in all of England’s matches at the 2018 World Cup and was also Southgate’s number one during the Euro 2020 qualifying games.
But he has made club errors and was at fault for a goal by Crystal Palace’s Christian Benteke on Saturday.
“Pickford has not played well enough,” said Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live.
In England’s last two Euro 2020 qualifiers, Pickford started against Montenegro, but, with qualification then secured, Burnley’s Nick Pope played against Kosovo.
Aston Villa’s Tom Heaton was also in the squad. Sheffield United’s Dean Henderson, on loan from Manchester United, has not won a senior England cap, but has represented the Under-21s.
This season, both Henderson and Pope have kept nine Premier League clean sheets, the joint highest number from any one goalkeeper – along with Liverpool’s Alisson.
“Henderson, Pope and [Ben] Foster have all been better than Pickford,” added Sutton. “If you want to win the Euros, you play the most confident goalkeeper, the best goalkeeper,
“Pickford played well at the World Cup but, in the here and now, if you compare him to other goalkeepers, the truth is he hasn’t been as good as Henderson or Pope.
“He’s so good with his feet but if he’s fragile or not showing the confidence that Henderson’s done then surely you pick the goalkeeper in form, the one who’s made the most saves and been the most consistent.
“Pickford’s club form has been really erratic and Gareth has a dilemma.”
Ex-England striker Ian Wright, speaking alongside Sutton on the Monday Night Club, said: “Pickford is England’s number one but I don’t know for how much longer he will be, if I’m honest.”
‘He seems angry and thinks people are having a go at him’
On Saturday, during Everton’s 3-1 win over Palace, Pickford let a weak Benteke shot in under his body, although he did make a save later to keep out the Belgian’s close-range header.
After that game, Pickford, who has played 24 times for England, said criticism does not affect him, adding “everyone hates you” when you are an England player.
“The press and everybody, the punters – look at [Sky Sports pundit and ex-England defender] Gary Neville – they just want to come for England players,” said Pickford.
“You have to live with it. I know what I’m capable of and I know what I’m good at.”
The Monday Night Club pundits thought Pickford had been wrong to react this way.
“The criticism affects everyone and he gets his fair share,” said Wright. “But you have to embrace the fact people will criticise you and if you say ‘it doesn’t bother me’, you’re not being truthful.
“He seems angry and thinks people are having a go at him but we want him to do well.
“You don’t want your number one goalkeeper feeling like everyone is against him, you want him to be in the best form of his life going into the Euros.”
Sutton added: “He has to do his talking on the pitch – what he’s not been doing this season. By making the statements he has made, that tells me he is feeling fragile.
“If his form does drop and he drops a clanger in the Euro final, people will ask ‘why was he playing?'”

"Don't do this again", "Disappointed" - Lots of Liverpool fans disagree with huge statement
Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to dispute Jamie Carragher’s claim that Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League.
The former Reds defender was speaking after Chelsea’s 2-0 win over West Ham on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, where he revealed that he thinks the Belgian is the top-flight’s best player.
Has Alisson been Liverpool’s most important signing of the season? Check out the video below to find out why Jurgen Klopp thinks so…
Hazard single-handedly won the game for the Blues against the Hammers with two excellent goals, the first of which will most certainly be up for Goal of the Season at the end of the campaign.
The former Lille star slalomed his way through a number of challenges, keeping the ball close to his feet, before rifling low into the bottom right corner.
It was the 28-year-old’s 15th league goal this term, before his second put him on 16 – just three behind leading scorer Sergio Aguero – impressively, Hazard also has 12 league assists to his name.
Despite his excellent season, however, many Liverpool fans have dismissed their former colossus’ claims that Hazard is the league’s best and have taken to Twitter to let their feelings be known…
Categorically NOT. Don’t do this again Jamie, please
— Callum Wright (@CallumWright__) April 8, 2019
He scores 1 worldie goal in every 15 games and that apparently makes him the best in the league ?
— Charlie (@CBirlison) April 8, 2019
Too inconsistent. When he is up for it – quality player. When he isn’t – he’s anonymous ??‍♂️
— Lee (@leecollo) April 8, 2019
Salah is far superior for starters, no where near Van Dijk’s ability
— Dinesh Kumar (@DHardayal) April 8, 2019
Come on! Scores an amazing goal every 10 games and suddenly best player in the the league?
— Daniel Sylvester (@TheWelshNerd) April 8, 2019
very reactionary Jamie, a bit disappointed in you ?
— Olivia (@BoxToOx) April 8, 2019
Most inconsistent. Not close to the best. And you know it.
— Chris H (@chare24) April 8, 2019
Not consistent enough Jamie to be the best player. Nowhere near the most talented, plays when he feels like

Thomas Gronnemark was perhaps the most surprising arrival at Liverpool this season after a summer of big spending on the likes of Alisson, Fabinho and Naby Keita.
Even manager Jurgen Klopp admitted he had never heard of a throw-in coach before employing the Dane.
The appointment of the 42-year-old, who also holds the world record for the longest throw-in at 51.33m, raised eyebrows and was mocked by TV pundit Andy Gray.
“I know it is totally the weirdest job in the world,” Gronnemark, who thinks he is the world’s first throw-in specialist, told BBC Sport.
Former Stoke midfielder Rory Delap may be the best known exponent of the long throw-in in the Premier League era, but Gronnemark says his brief at Anfield is “not to turn Liverpool into the second Stoke”.
As he explains, there is more than meets the eye to the humble throw-in and it’s a skill that when mastered can lead to goals and even “save the life” of a team.
Already making a difference at Liverpool
Liverpool had 54 throw-ins in their 2-1 win against Leicester on Saturday
“I saw Joe Gomez take some really good throws for Liverpool that I had not seen him do before, he was fizzing it in there,” said former Arsenal striker Ian Wright on Radio 5 live’s Monday Night Club.
“It looks like he [Gronnemark] has taught him something. You have to say Liverpool will benefit from that.”
Klopp believes Gronnemark has “already made a difference” with his work at Melwood.
“To be honest, I’d never heard about a throw-in coach,” said the German. “When I heard about Thomas, it was clear to me I wanted to meet him; when I met him, it was 100% per cent clear I wanted to employ him.”
Gronnemark, who has been working with teams since 2004, said Klopp contacted him as he was “curious” about his work and he says it is a “dream” job.
“If I was a defender I would not want to be on the end of one of Gomez’s throw-ins,” said Gronnemark.
“In general against Liverpool I would not want to put the ball out for a throw-in. I am not saying Liverpool will do a lot of long throw-ins, but you never know when they may do it.”
Science of a throw-in
Thomas Gronnemark is a former sprinter and a member of the Danish bobsleigh team
Gronnemark estimates there are 40-50 throw-ins in a game and in Saturday’s 2-1 win against Leicester, Liverpool had 54 – their role and importance, he says, are “underestimated” unlike other set-pieces.
“If you are expecting professional footballers to be world-class throwers without coaching then you are pretty optimistic,” he continues. “Generally the standard is quite poor.
“A focus on throw-ins can save the life of small clubs, as a technique to survive.
“But at the top of the league, it can help with a more fluent style of play. No matter what position in the league, throw-ins are an advantage.”
Gronnemark teaches three types of throw-in – the long throw-in, the fast throw-in – which can launch counter-attacks – and the clever throw-in, which is about keeping possession under pressure.
“I focus on everything you can imagine,” adds Gronnemark, a former international sprinter who was in the Danish athletics and bobsleigh teams. “It is not just the technique of the throw, but how to receive it, how to make the right runs, the positioning, creating space.”
Aside from his freelance work with Liverpool, Gronnemark also coaches at Danish top-flights clubs FC Midtjylland and AC Horsens, and in the German Bundesliga.
Midtjylland, who won the Danish title last year, and Horsen scored 10 goals each last season from long throw-ins.
Danish left-back Andreas Poulsen, who joined Borussia Monchengladbach from Midtjylland, improved his long throw from 25m to 37.9m under Gronnemark’s coaching.
Gronnemark says there are 25-30 technical aspects to a long throw and he uses video analysis to make improvements, which can see players improve their distance by four to eight metres on average and double the throwing area. Flexible, rather than strong players, are best at throw-ins and it is an essential skill for a full-back.
“If Liverpool score a goal or two from long throws that would be perfect for me,” said Gronnemark.” But even more so if it comes as a result of a fast throw or clever throw.”
According to Opta, there have been just 20 goals scored from a “throw-in scenario” in the Premier League in the last five seasons and one scored so far in 2018-19.
Last season, Liverpool had just three shots from throw-ins, while Leicester City led the way with 14.
Goals from fast throws and clever throws are impossible to measure, but Gronnemark says these have a “greater impact” on the game and can make the game faster and more entertaining.
“If you have more possession, you have a greater chance of winning a game,” says Gronnemark. “Sometimes set-pieces develop into set-pieces like corners and free-kicks and they help build pressure.”
‘I can make fun of myself’
“I’m sorry, a throw-in coach? Here’s the ball, pick it up with both hands, take it behind your head and throw it with both feet on the ground,” said former Scotland striker Gray in his criticism of Gronnemark’s appointment.
Gronnemark says he didn’t have a problem with Gray’s comments, but felt the ex-Wolves player could have looked into what his job entailed.
“I know it is the weirdest job in the world,” says Gronnemark, who has been fascinated by throw-ins since he was a child and has developed his own coaching course to fill the gap in the market.
“I am the world record holder and the world-leading expert, but I am not too big to make fun of myself.”
He says some players he works with are “surprised” by his role and have a “bit of a laugh”.
And what about THAT Iran throw-in?
Milad Mohammadi attempts forward roll throw
One request Gronnemark often gets is to replicate his world record throw achieved with a front flip in 2010, but he says he has eaten “too many cakes” to attempt it these days.
Iran defender Milad Mohammadi attempted a similar feat during the World Cup as they looked for a last-minute equaliser against Portugal – but failed.
“His run-up was too slow,” said Gronnemark. “It was a funny situation, but he must have had some bottle to try to make a flip throw-in, but I know it is the hardest thing to do in football.”

Who is in a 'mess' and who will win Premier League? - BBC pundits' predictions
No team has managed a successful defence of the Premier League title since Manchester United in 2009 – but will this season be different?
That is the aim of Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, a winner of three consecutive league titles in both Spain (Barcelona, 2008-11) and Germany (Bayern Munich, 2013-16), who saw his side finish 19 points clear of the pack last time out.
But who will challenge them in 2018-19? Can big-spending Liverpool mount a serious challenge? Will Manchester United narrow the gap? Can Tottenham improve? And are Chelsea and Arsenal contenders after changing their managers in the summer?
We asked 24 BBC TV and radio pundits to pick their top four with explanations for their selections.
The predictions were made on the basis of how each squad shaped up on Wednesday, 8 August, before the opening weekend of the season, but two days before the deadline for incoming transfers and with the potential for players to leave up until the transfer window shuts in the rest of Europe at the end of August.
Predictor 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Ian Wright Liverpool Man City Man Utd Arsenal Ruud Gullit Liverpool Man City Chelsea Man Utd Martin Keown Liverpool Man City Tottenham Man Utd Dion Dublin Man City Man Utd Liverpool Tottenham Alex Scott Man City Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal Joleon Lescott Man City Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal Mark Lawrenson Man City Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal Matthew Upson Man City Liverpool Man Utd Arsenal Alan Shearer Man City Liverpool Man Utd Tottenham Danny Murphy Man City Liverpool Man Utd Tottenham Pat Nevin Man City Liverpool Man Utd Tottenham Lindsay Johnson Man City Liverpool Man Utd Tottenham Charlie Adam Man City Liverpool Man Utd Tottenham Danny Mills Man City Liverpool Man Utd Chelsea Mark Schwarzer Man City Liverpool Man Utd Chelsea Rachel Brown-Finnis Man City Liverpool Chelsea Tottenham Sue Smith Man City Liverpool Chelsea Tottenham Paul Ince Man City Liverpool Chelsea Man Utd Kevin Kilbane Man City Liverpool Chelsea Man Utd Stephen Warnock Man City Liverpool Chelsea Man Utd Jermaine Jenas Man City Liverpool Tottenham Man Utd Chris Sutton Man City Liverpool Tottenham Man Utd Chris Waddle Man City Liverpool Tottenham Chelsea Leon Osman Man City Liverpool Tottenham Arsenal
Six teams feature in the forecasted top fours, and only Manchester City and Liverpool feature in all 24.
In terms of who will win it, Manchester City are favourites, with 21 votes. Liverpool get the other three.
Overall predicted ranking, using all BBC predictions
(using system of 4 pts for a 1st place, 3 pts for 2nd, 2 pts for 3rd and 1 pt for 4th)
1. Man City 2. Liverpool 3. Man Utd 4. Tottenham 5. Chelsea 6. Arsenal 93 pts 74 pts 34 pts 18 pts 15 pts 6 pts
Man City – a well-oiled machine managed by a serial winner
This is the third season running where City have featured in everyone’s forecasted top four. Last season, only 5% of people we asked thought Guardiola’s side would finish lower than third. This season, no-one thinks they will finish below second.
Alan Shearer: It has been a long time since anyone won back-to-back titles but I think City will win the Premier League again because of Pep – he won’t want their standards slipping. He will play exactly the same way and they are going to be very hard to stop, although I think Liverpool and United will both be a lot closer to them this time.
Shearer joins Ian Wright and Gary Lineker on Match of the Day at 22:20 BST on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website for highlights of seven Premier League games (including Friday night’s season opener).
<!–
Chris Sutton: Pep will not allow City to become complacent. Their consistency levels last season, when they won 32 out of their 38 league games, including a run of 18 wins in a row, were unbelievable.
Paul Ince: Guardiola is a serial winner – you can see that from the way he rants and raves on the touchline demanding more even when his team are two or 3-0 up. That is his mentality, and his players buy into it.
Matthew Upson: City are about to start their third season under Guardiola and it is clear they are a well-oiled machine. They know his philosophy and the way he wants to play. As we saw in the Community Shield, when they were missing Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva, the personnel does not really matter – when one player steps out another one steps in – and that is their great strength.
Upson and Alex Scott are the guests on Football Focus on BBC One and the BBC Sport website at 12:00 BST on Saturday.

Sue Smith: If anything City will be stronger because their problem area was left-back last season. Benjamin Mendy is now back and fit and is a real threat down that flank. Look through the rest of the team and it is top quality throughout.
Lindsay Johnson: I cannot see City not winning the title because they have improved an already very strong squad by bringing in Riyad Mahrez, and they seem to be a happy camp.
Jermaine Jenas: I still think City will win the league, but everyone has had a couple of years now to look at this Guardiola side and work out what they are about, like Liverpool did against them last season. It is hard for Pep to keep thinking up new things and if other teams do clock how to cause them problems then that will make life a lot more difficult – and it will not matter how big the gap was in the past.
Liverpool – Man City’s Kryptonite have done the best business of the summer
Media playback is not supported on this device
Only 43% people we asked thought Liverpool would make it into the top four last season, and only 13% thought they would be higher than third – they finished fourth. This year 14% think they will win the title and 96% think they will finish in the top two.
Ian Wright: I want this season’s title race to be more spicy and I think it will be. If Liverpool can get some impetus, then we don’t know how Manchester City will react under pressure if a team can stay close to them at the end of the season.
You also have to consider that Liverpool are City’s Kryptonite. That’s why I am backing Jurgen Klopp’s side to pip them to the title.
When Liverpool are doing well in the league, the league seems better. And, when they have got a good team, with the crowd at Anfield they are literally unstoppable – as we saw against City in the Champions League last season.
Ruud Gullit: If City have to battle for the league, we don’t know if they can do that. They will be up there at the top but I am backing Liverpool to win it. They are contenders because of the way they play, and how they control games but they also want to entertain and they want to attack – they play the right way.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Stephen Warnock: Liverpool have arguably done the best business in the window so far, albeit the most expensive. They are going to be stronger everywhere but, if they had not signed Alisson, I would not be backing them to finish second. Getting the goalkeeper right is that important, you only have to look at how many points David de Gea earned United with his saves last season.
Danny Murphy: Getting their signings done so early was beneficial because it gives Klopp time to show what he wants from them, and get them up to the fitness levels he requires for the way he wants to play.
Kevin Kilbane: Alisson is the signing of the summer. I have heard people say that they are one or two players short of a title-winning team but I don’t agree with that – there have been a couple of seasons over the past three or four years when they have been serious contenders but have been one short, and it was a keeper they needed.
I have tipped City because of the way they played last season, and how they play but it would not surprise me if Liverpool won the league.
Join Kevin, Jason Mohammed and Dion Dublin for Final Score on Saturday, from 14:30 BST on the Red Button and from 16:30 on BBC One.
Joleon Lescott: As well as all their signings, it looks like Daniel Sturridge is back in contention at Liverpool now and I think both parties have to recognise the part he can play this season. Klopp has got to see that Sturridge has the close control to unlock teams who sit deep, and Daniel has to realise that when Liverpool are playing on the counter-attack, he has got a lot of work to do off the ball and, like Firmino, is not there just to score goals.
<!–
Chris Waddle: They have spent some big money and Klopp cannot keep saying ‘we are building’. This is the year for me where Liverpool have got to come out and say ‘we are competing for the Premier League title’. I know they won’t but they are in a place now where they are trying to win everything City and United are trying to win, so why deny it?
Danny Mills: I suppose the one problem they face is whether they are going to be so heavily reliant on Mo Salah’s goals again. I still think he will score loads, but I cannot see him getting as many as he did last season.
Manchester United – lots of quality, but lacking harmony
Last season, 33% of people we asked thought United would be champions – they finished second. This time, no-one thinks they will win the title, and only one pundit – Dion Dublin – thinks they will finish second.
Dion Dublin: United have got so much quality in their squad and they definitely progressed under Jose Mourinho last season. What they are missing at the moment is harmony, but if he can find that and get all his good players smiling and happy, they will be very close.
You can listen to Dion Dublin and Conor McNamara’s commentary of United’s opening game of the season against Leicester on BBC Radio 5 live and the BBC Sport website on Friday. Build-up from Old Trafford starts at 18:30 BST.

Ruud Gullit: United already had the players to challenge City last season, but they couldn’t do it. So are they going to do it now? Are these players going to perform? You have to ask why so many of their players underachieved.
Chris Waddle: Jose always seems to get out of bed the wrong side every morning. He just has to get on with things and start smiling. If he does that, it will rub off on the team.
Chris Sutton: United just seem to be an unhappy camp and it all comes down to the manager. I wonder what the owners make of him telling fans not to turn up to their tour games in the United States, plus his criticism of his players and all his comments about needing new players but not getting them – he has basically been telling the centre-halves already at the club that they are hopeless.
It has resulted in a negative feeling about the club, at a time when almost every other club in the land has an air of positivity going into the new season. I think Mourinho’s frustration probably comes from him looking at City and Liverpool, and the way they play, and he is probably jealous. You wonder about the impact it will have on United at the start of the season, and what it means for his own future too.
Jermaine Jenas: I don’t see it ending well. There are too many internal issues with existing players, issues over their style of play, and also issues with potential signings supposedly saying they do not want to go and play there for him because of that style of play. United fans are not convinced by the football they play under him, or where they are heading under his leadership, so it is going to be an interesting few months.
Danny Mills: You have to be very careful with the way you read Mourinho because of the way he plays the media, and deflects attention from other things. Don’t write them off on the back of him messing about in a press conference, saying I haven’t got this or that. In fact, write them off at your peril.

Paul Ince: Last season, from a footballing point of view, United weren’t great. Their fans were moaning that they did not attack enough and although I think Mourinho has tried to address that, they really need to hit the ground running this time.
The signs are not great, though. Everything should be geared towards the first game of the season but instead it is all about Mourinho. There are some positives, and I am expecting a big season from Paul Pogba after his World Cup, but I definitely think they need another striker as back-up to Romelu Lukaku – someone in a similar mould to the Belgian.
Ian Wright: It is blatantly obvious that United need central defenders, which is why he has shown an interest in Leicester’s Harry Maguire and Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld. I am not sure whether he will get either of them before Thursday’s deadline though.
Tottenham – will this season be ‘like Groundhog Day?’
Last time out, 55% of people thought Tottenham would finish outside the top four – they finished third and are the only team to make the top three in each of the past three seasons. This time, 46% think they will miss out on the Champions League spots, and no-one thinks they will break into the top two.
Joleon Lescott: Are Spurs trying to win the league? Do they believe they can win it? I think they hope they can, but they won’t expect it, like the City players do. They remind me of Arsenal a few years ago, when they were just content with finishing in the top four.
Jermaine Jenas: This is a team whose manager knows them inside out and vice versa, and I can see them making a fast start to the season because of that connection. Spurs have also got a group of young players who have been together for a long time and their experience of falling short of winning a trophy will be with them. I just think that, along with them moving into their new stadium mean there are a lot of positives for them.
Ian Wright: Tottenham have a lot of players who came back late to pre-season after the World Cup and having to wait a few games to get into their new ground is going to be another disruption. I just think they might make a stuttering start that other teams might take advantage of.
Chris Waddle: Spurs will definitely be in the top four and I think they have an outside chance of winning the title because their strongest XI is as good as anyone’s in the Premier League, but my worry is that they will be affected by fatigue and injuries, and their squad is not good enough. They are also going to be going into their new stadium, and even if it only takes them a few weeks to settle in, it will be an issue.
Chris Sutton: Tottenham have not signed anyone yet but I still think they have got good strength in depth in their squad. On top of that they are strong defensively and have lots of creative options and have the best striker in the league in Harry Kane.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Stephen Warnock: Spurs don’t make my top four because I think they have to strengthen. If Kane gets injured, then they are in massive trouble. A couple of quality late signings could tip things in their favour though.
Kevin Kilbane: How do Spurs make that step-up, that improvement they need to go from third-place to champions? It is hard to see them making the signings that would make that happen, and I think this season might be like Groundhog Day for them, where they are just challenging for a Champions League place. It is top four at best for them, because I don’t think they have got enough to seriously challenge Liverpool and City over the course of the season.
Danny Murphy: For the fans, and just to push everyone in the squad, you always need to buy at least one big name, someone who is going to come in and make them better. Of the players Spurs have being linked with this summer, Wilfried Zaha and Anthony Martial would fit the bill, but it looks unlikely either of them will be arriving now.
Chelsea – ‘things are complicated right now’
Media playback is not supported on this device
Only one BBC pundit predicted Chelsea would finish outside the top four last season – their former manager Ruud Gullit. They finished fifth. This season, Gullit thinks they will finish third, but 63% think they will miss out on the top four.
Mark Lawrenson: I look at Chelsea and it is just a mess, isn’t it? The whole thing.
Ian Wright: They have got a new keeper lined up to replace Thibaut Courtois and I think Eden Hazard will stay, but who is going to score all the goals?
At the moment it looks like they will be relying on Olivier Giroud because it is not happening for Alvaro Morata and we have seen that Michy Batshuayi is not going to do it at this level. So they need another striker which is why, as things stand, they don’t make my top four.
Pat Nevin: Things are complicated with Chelsea. I think they are in exactly the same situation they were in before the season started last year, which is they need to buy. I suspect they will try to bring one more centre-back in but, if David Luiz is back to his best after his injuries last season, then that will not be a problem.
The last couple days of the Premier League transfer window could change everything because they could sell one of their big outfield players and get in three others, and that would completely change the picture.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Stephen Warnock: Keeping Hazard is crucial for Chelsea. He is their match-winner and almost irreplaceable, especially at this stage of the transfer window. Without him, I would not pick them to finish third, but I do think the way Maurizio Sarri plays suits the players he has got, and not having Champions League football will help them a lot.
Ruud Gullit: Players want to win trophies – you know your career is short. Hazard came to Chelsea to win things, not just to play well and earn a lot of money, and he still wants to win trophies – major ones – now.
Chelsea have to create that opportunity for him – if they can’t, then you cannot blame him if he does want to leave. Can they do it this season? It is too early to tell.
Matthew Upson: What Sarri saw in the Community Shield will have told him a lot about what his players are capable of, in terms of fitting into his system or reaching the required standards. He has issues to tackle right through his team and, with Thursday being the transfer deadline for incoming players, there is not much time to decide whether to address them in the transfer market.
Read more from Upson here on the issues faced by new Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri.
Arsenal – A good start under Emery will be crucial
Some 70% of BBC pundits, presenters and commentators predicted Arsenal would finish outside the top four last season, and they finished sixth. This season, 75% think they will miss out on Champions League football again, and no-one thinks they will finish higher than fourth.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Ian Wright: I have faith in Arsenal finishing fourth because I think their attacking players will cause all the other teams problems – but I am still worried about the defensive side of things and the way the players start the season under Unai Emery, and grasp what he wants from them, is going to be so crucial.
They start against a City team who know exactly what they are doing, but this might be a good time to play them because some of their players are late back from the World Cup. Arsenal are going to play this pressing game and could they catch City off guard? If they do, have they got enough defensively to stop City even if City are rocked by a couple of punches? That might just be my wishful thinking.
After that, they play Chelsea, West Ham and Cardiff, and depending on results, that could be an unbelievable opening, or a case of ‘uh oh’. By the time they get to West Ham, when they will be up against Jack Wilshere, well there is a story waiting to be written there, isn’t there?
Martin Keown: It will be a really close battle to make the top four; Arsenal and Chelsea will push Manchester United all of the way and have an outside chance of claiming a Champions League place. Emery has had longer with his team than anyone else – they’ve largely all been together for the whole of pre-season – and they could potentially cause an upset against City on day one.
Stephen Warnock: Emery has a fantastic record and his appointment is a massive coup for Arsenal. He has signed some excellent players, but a lot depends on how quickly they adapt to the Premier League.
<!–
Kevin Kilbane: They won’t challenge for the title but I think Emery will make them more pragmatic and harder to beat. That will be the biggest difference with Arsenal this season compared to when Arsene Wenger was in charge and they played more off the cuff. It is a change that they have been crying out for.
Jermaine Jenas: After 22 years of Wenger running the club, from the way they train to the way they play, the initial shock of playing under Emery will be great for them. That change might feel good to the players in the early stages but nobody really knows how they are going to translate that to the pitch, or which style of play they will adopt and they are a bit of an unknown quantity.
