Month: January 2012

With 4 goals for the first team in 4 years it’s no surprise that Frederico Macheda has been farmed out to another side to improve his ability.

Wayne Bridge’s bench-warming skills have dramatically improved in his time at Manchester City, but surely a former England international of his quality is itching for some first time football?

Manchester United’s injury problems don’t seem to be going away fast, with an injury list longer than any club in the premier League Sir Alex is being forced into a very different kind of game.

These are the words of Owen Coyle, and for the second year running no less. With Bolton and Coyle’s tenure in the Premiership looking shaky, the wily Scotsmen is looking to dip into the ever so fruitful abundance of young talent in the shopping window for loan signing.

Barcelona, Arsenal & Swansea are all teams who play their own variety of keep ball. Whether it’s 4-5-1, or the Barcelona super formation with a fake number 9, all of these teams never relent when it comes down to maintaining possession.

It’s that time again. As we pull the curtain on another year. A time to reflect, a time to take stock and a time to look forward. 

Ex City player, Sun Jihai will be back in Manchester on Tuesday to see his old side, much changed from even his days almost ten years ago, taking on Liverpool as they continue their assault on the Premier League established elite.
