<div class="MsoNormal">
There is often an argument that after European games, teams
tend to struggle to get the three points in their next game. Some argue that it’s
due to the lack of preparation time, or the lack of quality in depth or even
the lack of fitness. I myself have always thought that it was something along those
lines too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, of course, there needs to be a degree of rationality
and a consideration of the wider perspective.<br />
Think about it, often
teams can play poorly, yet still walk away with a win. So there is an argument
that when people say a team isn’t as efficient or effective after a European
game, they could mean in terms of performances, not the result. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I wanted to see how each side that represented the
Premier League in Europe this season faired in comparison to each other. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, before I point out my observations, we have to
consider a few things. Firstly, we have to recognise some teams played more
games after a European game, due to their progress in Europe. In order to
combat this, I have added the points per game stat. </div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Key Observations</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 41.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Business
as usual for Manchester United</b>: After European games, Man United have been machine efficient. United won 7 of their 8 post European games which clearly
demonstrates this. Perhaps Sir Alex Ferguson’s effective rotation and strength
in depth played a key role in Man United’s consistency.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 41.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Arsenal
unbeaten after European games</b>: Both Arsenal and Man United are unbeaten
after their European games. But considering this from Arsenal’s perspective, it
shows how difficult they are to beat. Their experience and knowhow through many
years of having to manage the Champions League and the Premier League is one of
the reasons why they remained unbeaten.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 41.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Man City
distinctly average after European games</b>: Man City’s record is pretty
average, to be fair. Although they only lost once and conceded the least out of
the teams analysed (5), I think they should have done better. But Man
City will argue, they had tough games after their Champions League duties,
after all, they faced Liverpool away, then Arsenal at home and then Man United
at home. But given the squad at Manicni’s disposal, you’d expect them
to win one of those games. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 41.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Liverpool
consistently inconsistent</b>: Liverpool’s record after European games isn’t
great. The key issue is the high number of draws, which is one of the
differences from them being a top 6 side. However, what is interesting is that Liverpool
kept 4 clean sheets, which is the highest (alongside Chelsea). In some
respects, this shows progress is being made at Anfield, but clearly, more work
needs to be done to sustain and build on it.</div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Newcastle
shipping goals</b>: Newcastle conceded 20 goals, which is an incredibly high
number for a side playing in Europe and for me it symbolises their immense decline
this season. Last season, Newcastle were far more solid and settled side
defensively. Perhaps the club have missed Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini

actually doing rather well</b>…: Although Newcastle are conceding a hell of a
lot of goals, they are actually winning fair number of games too. It’s intriguing;
there was strong criticism that the lack of depth effected Newcastle’s campaign
this season. Although this may well be a valid point, one may need to take it
with a pinch of salt. As Newcastle won 5 games from 13, this shows the club has
the ability to win games even when playing on a Thursday and then on a Sunday.
But it is crucial to note, all 5 of Newcastle’s wins came at home. </div>

Hey guys,<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been a while! Due to university dominating my life, I
haven’t been able to write any more woeful articles, but now, Uni is finished, I’m
looking for a job and I have more time on my hand, so I’m back!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Muhahah. Suckers..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, so as the title quite clearly suggests, this article
is about Martin Skrtel. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, Big Martin Skrtel is an intriguing case. Last season,
he was the main man for Liverpool. He was voted the clubs player of the year
last season and his form earned him a new deal. The Slovakian international was
also linked heavily with the likes of Man City too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But fast forward a year, Martin Skrtel’s stock has fallen
dramatically. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He has gone from being a certain starter for Liverpool to being
a mere squad player and arguably a liability for the reds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But why has Martin Skrtel fallen so fast? Or has his decline
been something which has been overstated by fans or the media? Let’s have a
look at his stats.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm1JUtXCaiYHNvlpXG1Eheo2CFmWQVT27kj865tyCygSX8ZGKD4VquGj3KniXwDOvbj6k9nunUWZ4OGUcUoin5K7HE3vn4LbTxQZasY-hHvhjxpfP20TrTE29PnUwEfo6PT8xQ_bpNiLvu/s1600/skrtel+stats+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm1JUtXCaiYHNvlpXG1Eheo2CFmWQVT27kj865tyCygSX8ZGKD4VquGj3KniXwDOvbj6k9nunUWZ4OGUcUoin5K7HE3vn4LbTxQZasY-hHvhjxpfP20TrTE29PnUwEfo6PT8xQ_bpNiLvu/s1600/skrtel+stats+1.JPG" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Red = worst, Green = Best</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok, so, looking at the stats, it is quite clear, Martin
Skrtel’s defensive stats have dramatically decreased this season. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is most concerning for Liverpool that the crucial
defensive stats such as the ground win percentage, aerial win percentage and the
defensive errors are far worse this season. But why is this the case? Why has
Liverpool’s most consistent player of last season, had his form shattered this
season? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are a number of theories behind the reason why, the
likes of the guys at the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Anfield Wrap</i>
and Chris Machin of The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Red Men TV</i>
suggest that the constant tweaking of managers and playing styles has effected
Skrtel’s confidence and has therefore unsettled him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is a credible theory, over the past four seasons,
Martin Skrtel has played in Rafa Benitez’ pragmatic defensive setup, then the
season after, Skrtel was in a more rigid Hodgson system. While under Dalglish,
things changed again. However, the most contrasting change in styles occurred
this season. Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers have become a far more attacking
side. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rodgers’ more flexible, attacking Liverpool, is a system
where both full backs bomb on forward and arguably, less players are given
defensive discipline. This could have had an effect on Skrtel’s game. Prior to
this season, he was often given much more protection and as a unit the reds
looked far more stable. This could be why Martin Skrtel has struggled this season.
He is now playing in a system which demands far more from him as an individual,
while he gets less protection from his team mates. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Perhaps this makes sense, think about it, often this season,
many teams have found space between the Liverpool midfield and defence lines. The
consequence of this is that Skrtel and his centre back partners have more
players to track from various scenarios in play. Whether it would be for
example central attacks or attacks from out-wide. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But is it all down to Martin Skrtel or Brendan Rodgers’ system?
I think it’s a mix. Some argue it also comes down to personality. Rodgers has
suggested on a number of occasions that the reason Jamie Carragher is in the
side, is due to his marshalling and leadership skills. And the reality is some
defenders thrive in the responsibility of having to defend in systems which leave
them more exposed to attacking threats. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I think the decline of Skrtel is due to him not being
suited to the Rodgers demands of play. As last season demonstrated, if
Liverpool were better structured defensively, and Skrtel was given more
protection by the midfield, his quality would shine through. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One major criticism of Skrtel has been his performances verses
the bigger, more imposing strikers. Rodgers infamously suggested that Skrtel
and Liverpool made the Oldham’s No. 9 Matt Smith look like Didier Drogba and
the reality is, Liverpool and Skrtel did. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, I think Skrtel’s performances against the more physical
strikers has always been something of a concern. Last season, in the FA Cup
Final, Martin Skrtel was bullied by Didier Drogba. Drogba won most of the
aerial duals and dominated the space and exploited him time after time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But this season, due to Skrtel being less confident and
uncomfortable, these showings against the bigger strikers have stood out even
more. One looks at his performances versus Villa and Southampton, against Benteke
and Lambert, he struggled incredibly. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I’ve mentioned before, Skrtel is finding himself more
exposed in this defensive setup, so his protection against these bigger more aggressive
target men is much more limited. This means he is often left to sink. But there
have been times, where he needs to help himself more, sometimes, the likes of
Benteke and Lambert have bounced off Skrtel. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But as the summer arrives and the imminent departure of
Jamie Carragher looming, where do Liverpool go from here? Where does Martin Skrtel
go from here?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Should Liverpool keep him? Should Skrtel look for a move?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me, Liverpool should sell. The player does not look comfortable
in Rodgers’ system. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What really concerns me about Martin Skrtel is how
uncomfortable he looks in the Liverpool setup. As the stats clearly suggest his
awkwardness in the system has affected his defensive contribution. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When one looks at Martin Skrtel on the ball, he appears to
lack the composure, the comfort and the ease of mind to play it out from the
back in a concentrated fashion. And the worst thing is, I don’t think Skrtel himself
believes that he can comfortably pass it out from the back and be someone who
can retain the ball, dribble past the striker to create space and have more
options to pass to. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Martin Skrtel’s decline has been staggering. I don’t think
many would have expected him to be behind Jamie Carragher at the start of this
season. It is clear, Skrtel is yet more proof that even defenders can struggle to
adapt to particular systems. It’s unfair to label Martin Skrtel a poor
defender. The reality is, he is a good defender, in the right system. Sktrel
demonstrates how Liverpool are still in transition, there are still players in
the side who don’t fit the Rodgers demands of playing. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, to conclude the three reasons why Skrtel has struggled
this season:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Liverpool less compact as
a defensive unit</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Liverpool more attack
orientated than defensive orientated </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Martin Skrtel’s confidence
has been knocked due to being dropped and this has not been helped by him
being incompatible to Rodgers style of play.</li>
</ul>

<![endif]--><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">So, I’m doing a
little review on the iPod, iPhone and iPad compatible free app called <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Football Playbook: Tactical Puzzles</i>
by Super Rock Games. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Firstly, let’s go
over the idea of the app. The whole point of the game is for the player (you)
to unpick the tactical conundrum and crucially score goals. Initially, when I
first played the game, it was quite challenging, but with a bit of trial and
error and going over the tutorial, I got the jist of it. And the game is quite
a lot of fun, especially when you solve the puzzle, you do feel like you’re a bit
special. So that’s good. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">What’s brilliant
about the game is there is a great number of Puzzles there for you to solve. So
the game does not get repetitive and boring. Super Rock Games state the game
has over 700 unique tactical puzzles, so the game has longevity and isn’t one
of those games you forget that you have knocking about on your phone or tablet.
For me, the most satisfying point is when you create space and exploit the
opposition movement in the game. It’s a bit like when you score a sexy pass and
move goal on FIFA, you think fondly of yourself thinking, ‘I created that.’</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">This game is
perfect for football fans who love a tactical challenge. I would also recommend
the game to more general football fans too. It’s free and that, so it’s worth a
check. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">However, this is
version 1.0 of the game and there is considerable amount of room for
improvement. Sometimes, the game can crash a tad too easily and you can lose
your progress. While, as I stated before, the game is quite hard to get into. But
I am sure with the next few updates the game will be at its optimum. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So, I was thinking about the past last week (I know, it’s
what keeps us Liverpool fans going, especially after defeats). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was thinking in particular about Fernando
Torres in his debut season for Liverpool (07/08). I remember the Premier League
and Liverpool fans raving about him getting 24 goals in his debut season and it
was very impressive. But then I looked at the Premier League leading goal
scorers this season and there’s a great deal of players, with about 9 games to
go who are already on double figures for league goals this season and it made
me think there will be one or two more who will join Luis Suarez with more than
20 Premier League goals this term. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I then had a look in Italy, Spain and Germany’s top leagues
to see how many of their players are into double figures this season and this
is what I found.</div>

As you can see, there are a lot more players in the Premier
League who are on double figures in comparison to their counterparts in the
other top European leagues. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s have a good look, in the Premier League, there are 19
players with 10 or more goals. While in Serie A there is 12, in La Liga there
is 13 and in the Bundesliga there is 11. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a staggering difference. But why is this the case?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could it be down to the players in England being far more
clinical? Possibly, but I don’t buy it, the Premier League lads with 10 or more
goals have the joint second highest average shot accuracy, behind Serie A. If
it was down to better finishing, surely the more accurate Serie A players would
be on double figures?</div>

The Premier league also has the second highest amount of
average shots per game (3.12). In terms of chance conversion, England have the
worst out of the leagues analysed (21.31%). So if the Premier League strikers
were overall better finishers, surely they would have a better chance
conversion rate?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another theory which I was considering was could it be down
to the decline in quality of defending in the Premier League? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s look at the facts, the average Premier League team has
conceded 41.85 goals this season, which is the worst out of the 4 leagues
analysed. This clearly suggests the Premier League teams are struggling to keep
a sturdy defence, but it’s all well and good saying that, but why? Is it down
to woeful keeping or shoddy defending? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, it’s hard to directly point the finger on one
particular reason, after all each player and club is different. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
But a point a few intelligent people have suggested to me on
Twitter, on the reason why more players in the Premier League getting into
double figures is due to the growth of the versatile attacker. The type of attacker
who can play anywhere across the attacking line, they can play in-between the
lines and can crucially create in these positions. The result of this means
defenders have to be more intelligent and more aware of the space in front and
in and around their zone. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think surge of agile, versatile and two –footed geniuses
are having an effect on how teams defend in the Premier League. Perhaps there
is a lack of understanding of how to deal with these types of players, after
all when players like David Silva, Juan Mata, Cazorla and Suarez are given
space between the lines, they can not only create for themselves, they can also
create space and freedom for their team mates too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I don’t think the poor defences and poor keeping is the
outright reason why players in England are getting more joy. A part of me feels
it is due to the lack of structure in Premier League playing style nowadays.
Although far more teams are more comfortable on the ball, perhaps this has come
at a cost, as in order to be a progressive passing team it is dependent on two
things, 1.) the pass and 2.) the movement of the player who wants to receive
the ball. But the problem can occur when the team without the ball press high and
aggressively and the pass does not go from A to player B and because player B
is now slightly out of position there is more room in the transition phase for
the attacker to run into the space or pass into that space for someone to run
onto. So in other words, I think Premier League teams are poor at defending
transition phases meaning incredibly intelligent players can pick up and
exploit these gaps in the opposition. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When watching the Premier League, you can sometimes feel the
unbalanced nature of it. You have these outstanding attackers who are waiting
for these transition phases to be able to get the ball and dictate the game. While
on the other hand, you have the defensive unit of the team, defending a
transition and unlike the attackers they are not as confident or come into
their own during this period. Too often in the Premier League especially during
transitions you can see defensive players finding themselves out of position,
or find themselves giving an opposition player incredible amount of space and
time. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So tie to things up, the reasons why there are more Premier
League players who have scored 10 or more goals, in my view comes down to this:</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1;">Poor defending and keeping</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1;">Attacking teams being more
effective in the transition, while PL teams defending transitions have
been poor</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1;">More agile, intelligent and
creative attackers</li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Other Observations </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When collecting the stats for this article, a number of
interesting facts hit me, so here are some of my observations from the stats. </div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="color: yellow;">Sign him up! <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Frank Lampard</b></span>: He maybe old, but
he certainly still knows where the goal is. Lampard at 34 years of age has
12 Premier League goals, with 4 coming from penalties. But what I find
just as impressive as his goals tally is his chance conversion (31.60%),
which is the best out of the Premier League players selected. This shows,
although Lampard is getting on in terms of age, his eye for goal still remains
deadly. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Steven Fletcher</b>, he scores when he wants</span>: Out of all the
players analysed, in Germany, Spain, Italy and of course England, Fletcher
has the 6<sup>th</sup> best average shot accuracy (67%). Furthermore, the
Scottish international has one of the better chance conversion rates too
in the Premier League, I get the feeling, if Sunderland created more
chances for him, he would definitely get more goals. His statistics
suggest he is an instinctual finisher, it will be interesting to see how
he does next season, if he manages a similar goal tally as this season, I can
see a bigger clubs seriously taking a look at him.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Robert Lewandowski</b> shows why he’s one of Europe’s most wanted
strikers</span>: Lewandowski has an outstanding 62% shot accuracy and a very
credible 28% chance conversion rate this season. The stats reinforce the
argument that the Polish international is a very efficient and intelligent
finisher. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mario Mandzukic</b>, what a good addition he’s been to Bayern</span>: Mandzukic
has proved he is more than good enough to challenge Mario Gomez for the central
striking role at Bayern. The new Bayern signing has the second highest
chance conversion rate out of the Bundesliga players analysed. It will be
interesting to see how Pep Guardiola utilises him, but I fancy him to be a
key player under the Spaniard. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Klose</b>,<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>he knows
where that goal is</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">: </b>Now, most
of us remember Klose from the World Cups, where he virtually is in a
league of his own. But even in club football his finishing prowess is very
impressive. The German has the best chance conversion rate out of the
players analysed, 37% which is a mightily remarkable figure, one which
probably has Serie A defenders incredibly wary. You give him one chance,
he will punish you. </li>

Messi is something else. But often there are moments when you compare him
to other players in football and you recognise how extremely talented he is.
Consider this, in the top 5 leagues in Europe, Lionel Messi has on average
5.3 shots per game, which is the third highest, so you may think, well it
is no coincidence he has nearly 50 league goals this season. But when you
look at his shot accuracy and his chance conversion rate it really drums
home how outstanding his finishing is. Out of the players analysed, Messi
has the second highest shot accuracy (69%). While he also has the second
highest chance conversion rate (35%). When one considers the amount of
chances he gets per game, this is actually quite impressive. Compare Messi’s
shooting and finishing stats to the two other players in who have the most
shots per game. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Look at the
staggering difference in chance conversion, shot accuracy and of course, goals) </li>

a means to hopefully show that both players are different and have different
strengths and weaknesses.</div>

Department</b>: In all honesty, both players aren’t great in this area. Both
players struggle to get an average of 80% across the tackling sectors. However,
Cleverley edges it, thanks to his won tackle success percentage, but I do think
both players really could improve in this area.</div>

more prone to lose the ball</b>: Cleverley’s ball retention stands out rather boldly
compared to Wilshere’s. The Arsenal number 10 has lost possession 12 times and
has been dispossessed 16 times in comparison to the United man’s 6. </div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the more accurate passer</b>: Wilshere
runs Cleverley close in terms of pass accuracy. The stats suggest both are very
able passers of the ball and their passing range is very diverse. Although the
Man United midfielder is in front,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think this could be due to two factors, firstly, Cleverley playing more games
and secondly, the United player is a bit more cautious with the ball in comparison
to Wilshere (the next observation will clear this up)</div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Wilshere
comes in his own in the creative aspects</b>: Jack Wilshere really shows his
quality in this area of the analysis. The Arsenal boy creates more chances,
makes more successful dribbles, and gets more assists than the United lad. If I
come back to the point I made in the last observation about Cleverley being more
cautious on the ball, I think the creative statistics suggest caution too.
Cleverley has seen a hell of a lot of the ball when he has played, however, the
fact he has only created 9 chances, in a team which often dominates games is
hugely concerning. It implies that Cleverley is either being told to keep
things ticking over or he is unwilling to make that decisive pass to open up
the opposition. But let’s talk a little more about Jack Wilshere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His dribbling stat completely overshadows
Cleverley’s dribbling record, what this shows to me is Wilshere has that
determination to not only beat his man, but he also has that desire to open up
play. What makes Wilshere such a classy player is his ability to pass the ball
effectively, but with the same token, he has great feet and lovley composure
which assist him in creating chances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 18.0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Conclusion</b>:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The grim reality is, these stats don’t prove anything
conclusive. They don’t, I’m sorry. The reason for this is because both players
cancel each other out. Cleverley is better defensively, while Wilshere is
better going forward. While in terms of passing, both players are pretty
close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But who knows, maybe in the
future, one will storm ahead of the other, but at the moment, both players do seem
pretty even. The reality is, whoever you prefer out of the two, it comes down
to taste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though, one thing these stats
indicate is both players have their own qualities and strengths. What’s
positive about this is that both players cover a number of bases. As a neutral
and being from England, I think England fans should be very happy they have
both players at their disposal, as the two players can complement each
other,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>both can pass, both have great on
the ball intelligence and both are hard working footballers too. </div>

The definition of a clear cut chance is ‘<i>A situation where a player should reasonably be expected to score usually in a one-on-one scenario or from very close range.</i>’ (EPL Index) So in other words, a clear cut chance is a chance where the attacker is odds on to score, it can range from a one on one finish, a unmarked headed chance or a tap in chance.<br />
<br />
My theory is this, the more clear cut chances you create, the more goals you score, let’s see how many clear cut chances the Premier League sides have created this season.<br />
<br />

This
is one of the reasons why United are free scoring this season. United have
created more than double the chances of around 6 Premier League sides. One must
credit Sir Alex Ferguson’s ability to create sides and find players that have
the understanding and tactical awareness to create good chances for their
fellow team mates. It is quite clear looking at the stats, Man United create a
stupendous amount of clear cut chances at home, no other Premier League side
have created 20 clear cut chances at home, while United have created 26, which
roughly equates to 3 clear cut chances created per home game. If Man United
continue to create clear cut chances at this rate, I believe they will carry on
scoring for fun this season.</span></i></span><i><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;"></span></i></div>

creating an impressive amount of clear cut chances</b>: Norwich have been on a
monumental run of late, going unbeaten in their last 10 PL games. This run has
been fuelled by the fact Norwich have the ability to create a decent amount of
clear cut chances. A reasonable 15% of the chances Norwich have created have been
clear cut. What impresses me about The Canaries, is although they do not create
a whole deal of chances, the chances they do create are quality chances, which
can be the difference between winning and losing games. </div>

have created the most chances in the Premier League</b>: Everton being the top
creators in the Premier League is no surprise to me. After all, the likes of
Baines are have the fantastic ability to create chances not only in open play
but from set pieces too. But Everton creating 27 clear cut chances is not bad
at all, what will satisfy David Moyes the most is the a near equilibrium in the
clear cut chances created home or away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

create the most clear cut chances away from home</b>: Perhaps this comes as no

opponent presses higher and plays a higher line. </div>

poor 4 clear cut chances created away from home is an early concern: </b>At the
DW Wigan have no problem creating clear cut chances, however, on the road, it’s
a different story. What surprised me was the fact, Wigan’s system is
predominantly structured on counter attacking and you’d expect them to create
more clear cut chances on the road, given it is more likely that there will be
more space for them to exploit on the road. Furthermore, it is probable that a
clear cut chance will be created when there is more space, as the marking is
lax and players can be found out of position.</div>

</span></span></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Liverpool
creating chances, but not enough quality chances:</b> Liverpool’s lack of
finesse in front of goal has been widely talked about for the past 18 months.
However, there have been many calls that, ‘Liverpool are one natural goal
scorer away from being successful.’ I am unsure of this, although having a goal
poacher would certainly see Liverpool score more goals, the quality of the
chances Liverpool have created has not been great. Only 9% of Liverpool’s
chances have been clear cut, there are 14 sides who have created more clear cut
chances than The Reds, even though Liverpool have created the second highest
amount of chances in the Premier League. If Liverpool are to improve their
League standing, I feel they need to indeed their chances, but more pertinently
the chances they create have to be better, therefore making it easier for the
attackers to finish. </div>

Villa’s struggling to create at home:</b> A few seasons ago, Villa park was
something of a fortress , but a mere 4 clear cut chances being created at home
is something which perhaps demonstrates this young Villa sides lack of
experience and know how. Perhaps the pressure of playing in front of a big
crowd is having an effect on Villa’s expressive side of their game, if you look
at their away clear cut chances, its far far better, I think it is a mental
aspect which is effecting this young Villa team at home. </div>

scoring comfortably, yet not created many clear cut chances:</b> This is
an odd one, one which really surprised me, prior to looking up the stats, I
expected Tottenham to be up there with the teams creating the most quality
chances in the Premier League, I mean look at their creative players, the likes
of Lennon, Bale, Dembele and Dempsey. These are all players who can create quality
chances. I expect Spurs to create more clear cut chances as the squad grows
into AVB’s team. </div>

But since I have had some free time, I have made a few graphs analysing the penalties in the Premier League. So go on, take a little look. Penalties have been discussed quite a bit in recent times, ahead of the Manchester Derby, Sir Alex Ferguson questioned the number of penalties Man City had been awarded at home, while Liverpool fans have been annoyed by the lack of penalties they have received this season.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Overview </b></u><br />
<br />
Penalties sorted from the highest awarded to the least.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<u><b>Penalties at Home</b></u><br />
<br />
So in the next digram below, we show the number of penalties scored at home and their conversion percentage.<br />
<br />

Stats taken on 11/12/2012 - After 16 PL games, stats do not take into consideration Sunderland - Reading, played on the same date as stats collected. Ibbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10941302386050554481noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689891478710026313.post-12470337275540075542012-11-06T09:05:00.002-08:002012-11-06T09:05:49.379-08:00Preview: Real Madrid - Dortmund<i><b>Chinmay Pandya</b> gives The Football Front a preview of Dortmund's trip to Real Madrid. </i><i><br /></i><br />
Madrid take on the High flying Dortmund at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu tonight in a feisty affair between two extremely talented teams. Few would have doubted Dortmund's European potential this season, but even fewer people would have predicted them to be top of the table after 3 match days. Well, this match could mean the difference between the 1st and 2nd position in the group. While Borussia Dortmund head into their Champions League rematch against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Tuesday on the heels of a dispiriting 0-0 draw at home to Stuttgart on Saturday, Madrid head into the game after a terrific all-round display trashing Zaragoza at home, 4-0. Jurgen Klopp told reporters that the draw felt more "like a defeat," leaving the two-time defending Bundesliga champions 11 points adrift of a sublime Bayern Munich side displaying absolutely dominant early season form.<br />
<br />
TEAM NEWS<br />
<br />
Real Madrid will be without injured France striker Karim Benzema when Borussia Dortmund visit as he has a thigh muscle problem. Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain, who has netted seven in the league but none in Europe so far, is the obvious replacement.
Captain Sebastian Kehl was taken off with a broken nose during Saturday's 0-0 draw with Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. Manager Jurgen Klopp said that he is training with a mask to protect his nose but remains a doubt.<br />
<br />
ON THE TACTICAL FRONT:<br />
<br />
After what we’ve seen from Dortmund this season, especially away at City and at home to Madrid, games against Dortmund usually turn out to be midfield battles, with a extremely disciplined Dortmund midfield consisting of Reus, Gotze, Großkreutz sitting in front of a solid Gundogan and Kehl (assuming he’s fit by then) should prove to be a jam-packed midfield, very difficult to break through. On the Other hand, a technically accomplished and an intelligent midfield that Madrid possess, Madrid have the tools to get past the midfield but the same can be said about City’s midfield against Dortmund at the Etihad last time out, but they weren’t able to expose Dortmund’s defence. Tight midfield, pressing higher up the field, forcing the opposition to make mistakes, and then counter attacking with menace pretty much sums up Dortmund as a force in the Bundesliga in the past seasons and in Europe this season. As Madrid push up to dominate the match, and create chances could that be their undoing? Or with the amazing talent they have at their disposal, and with some determination, could they get past the Dortmund midfield and expose their defence? We’re going to find out soon.<br />

While the figure might seen congested, it is supposed to show the cohesiveness of Dortmund’s midfield. It shows Mardid while in position, with Alonso sitting in front of the 2 central defenders and Modric in a fairly advanced position this encounter might just be an epic encounter between two tactically astute and world class coaches in Mourinho and Klopp, a feast for the neutrals.<br />
<br />
Dortmund have been off pace in the Bundesliga lately, You don't win a league of the Bundesliga's calibre two-times running without quality and mental toughness in equal measure, so I expect a show of resolve at the Bernabeu. Still, it seems that there is a sense of unease around Dortmund that could turn into panic if Real Madrid were to start fast.<br />

<br />
Lately, there has been lots of talk and debate about Manchester City and their plethora of different tactics, with Roberto Mancini being the centre of the discussion, there’s been differing views and Mancini has defended himself in the press, while indirectly insulting his players. People are saying he changes formation too often, he rotates too much and that he’s a perfectionist, but nothing can be perfect, so even in times of elation and great performances he will say something can be improved – he has been labelled as a ‘tinkerer’ by some, rather than a good tactician, which would have been the standard compliment for him last year, but I always thought the change of tactics and systems was a good thing, giving them versatility, but many disagree.<br />
<br />
Manchester City have started the Premier League season well, they haven’t recaptured their scintillating form from last year, but they are still the only side who remain unbeaten, with six wins and three draws in the opening nine games. Only dropping points against Arsenal at home, and Liverpool and Stoke away from the Etihad, leaving them sitting pretty in third place, only one point behind leaders Chelsea – whose huge summer investments seem to be paying dividends already. They started the Premier League in relatively average fashion, for their standards, with two wins and three draws in the opening five games, but a tough away win against Fulham and the return of Sergio Aguero has really kick-started their season, with them now being on a four-game win streak. However, the start to the Champions League hasn’t been the same story for them, as their nightmare from last year’s campaign has followed them into this season. The luck of the draw has been against them both times, as they’ve ended up in ‘the Group of Death’ two years on the bounce, but it’s not really much of an excuse after the huge financial investment they’ve had in the last few seasons. In the first year, the scapegoat for not succeeding was the lack of Champions League experience within the squad, with it being the clubs first season in the Champions League, however, I completely disagree with this statement. If you look around the Manchester City squad they had an abundance of Champions League experience, especially with players like Carlos Tevez (though his saga was going on at this point), Yaya Toure and Mario Balotelli, who all boast Champions League Winners Medals. This year, however, after a disastrous start of losing against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, throwing away a late lead, getting beaten by an Ajax side that only cost £3,500,000 and getting outthought and outplayed against an energetic Borussia Dortmund side at the Etihad, but managing to steal a point due to a late Balotelli penalty, the media have jumped onto Roberto Mancini's back, after he has changed tactics in the middle of most games, saying he’s changing them too often and the players can’t get to grips with all the changes being made. In an interview before the Swansea game, they asked him about Micah Richards comments, where has said they weren’t prepared well enough to change to a three at the back formation, and Mancini said:<br />
<br />
<i> “If you are a top player, it's not important which system you use. If you don't understand, you are not a top player and can't play for a top team.” </i><br />
<br />
He went on to say that the comments weren’t about Micah Richards, but it does make you think, as it reminds me of Arrigo Sacchi. Sacchi said he wanted players who could not only play football, but they understood football and the football he wanted them to play, players with a good understanding of the game as well as ability, he says this is why his Milan side were so successful, because they shared the same idea on how the football should be played. If Mancini doesn’t have this, and the players don’t understand the systems, or share
the same ideas, will this hinder Manchester Citys progress? At least in the short-term where he can’t bring in his own players who are tactically astute enough for his liking? Possibly. But, that’s beyond the point, are Manchester City struggling in Europe because of tactical inconsistency, or is their tactical versatility a strength, which is just being used as a scapegoat when things go badly in Europe?<br />
<br />
Mancini certainly believes it’s the latter, after he said they conceded the third goal against Ajax due to a silly mistake, not a change in tactics. They’ve also been changing their tactics in the Premier League, depending on the opposition and situation, and it’s worked successfully,. so why would it be so drastically different in Europe? The only time it could be different in Europe is in the case of Manchester United, I think. Manchester United always attack, and until recently have played with two wingers, and the full backs have also got forward meaning the defence can be left a bit exposed, they also usually maintain (again, until recently) a 4-4-2 formation, which can work extremely well, but last year in Europe it didn’t. Their attacking style of play, and width, left them open at the back and teams who were tactically organized better than them would get the win, look at Atheltic Bilbaos infamous 3-2 win at Old Trafford, masterminded by the great Marcelo Bielsa. However, with City, they are quite a defensive, and tactically organized team who have been built with an extremely strong defence and spine, suiting a Continental style. In the Premier League, they started with the three at the back formation against Liverpool, and reverted to it in the last-gasp win against West Brom at the Hawthorns, both away games in which they got four points out a possible six, both tough places to visit plus they had ten men for the majority of the game against West Brom. So, the ‘tactical tinkering’ worked wonders against West Brom, setting up waiting for the chance to counter, inviting West Brom onto them before pouncing and Edin Dzeko finishing off an incisive counter attack, so why isn’t this mentioned when people talk about the change of tactics? Or, how they lined up with the three at the back formation against Chelsea in the Community Shield and won? It’s also the same system they used in the FA Cup game against Manchester United, after Belgian centre-back and club captain Vincent Kompany got an early red card for a two-footed challenge, where City managed to pull two goals back and give Manchester United a real scare, who thought they’d finished the game when they went 3-0 up in the First half.<br />
<br />
So, why hasn’t this form carried on into Europe? I’m not sure, but what if the other teams were just better than Manchester City? City are an extremely strong side, no one can beg to differ, and with the heavy investments that’s what you expect, but they’ve come up against three good sides, all champions in their own countries as well, so it’s not a complete shock they haven’t won yet. The media seem to make out that City have been awful and should be strolling every game, but let’s not forget who they’re playing. Spanish Champions, record European Cup holder, winning it on nine occasions: Real Madrid, and to make it even harder, at the Bernabeu, which is a fortress. I can’t remember many teams winning there apart from Barcelona, it’s quite rare if a team draws there, Real Madrid are one of the best sides ever, so is it really shocking that they lost? No. I think, more than anything, it was the manner of the loss that annoyed Mancini most, and made the media get on their backs. Then, Borussia Dortmund, it may have been at the Etihad, but Jurgen Klopp has assembled a young side, that is not only great technically, they’re all extremely energetic and will work and close down, making it hard for the opposition to play. A draw is a bad result for
Manchester City at home, but disastrous? Not really, Dortmund are a quality side and they are still wanting to prove themselves against the best in the world, which will give them that extra fight and make them go the extra mile, not to mention Klopps tactical mind, as they also went on to beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Signal Iduna Park thanks to a Klopp tactical masterclass. Now, the Ajax game they probably should have won, but I think if you had to put this down to something, it would be the mentality of the players. Ajax are a young side, with the majority coming through the youth ranks at the club, and with the Eredivise being a relatively small league and not getting as much coverage as it should, they would want to go out and prove themselves against the world’s best clubs on a bigger stage, and there aren’t many better ways to do it than beating the Champions of England, the place many people call the birthplace or home of football. So, they would want to really show the world what they can do, plus with all the ‘Say No To Modern Football’ protests in the crowd, you don’t know if that attitude is transcended onto the pitch and the players share a similar mind-set, and they want to prove it’s not all about money and billionaire investors, it’s a about the football. I think you also shouldn’t underestimate Ajax’s quality, with their famous youth academy, all the players who make it through have an amazing technical ability, as well as being versatile due to not having set positions, being they can do most things and are incredibly well-rounded, and just because they play in a smaller league and they don’t splash a load of money on players, people tend to forgot the raw quality of the players.<br />
<br />
So, overall, do Manchester City have tactical versatility, or is their constant change on tactics the reason why they can’t take the league form into Europe? I personally think it’s the former, they’re tactical versatility is a huge asset in my eyes. When a Manchester City line-up is announced, you’re still not 100% sure how it will be set out, which gives them a bit of unpredictability and keeps the opponent guessing, meaning the opposing manager could prepare for one thing, see the line-up and think he’s right, but then also because of the versatility of the players, they’re completely wrong meaning there will have to be some last minute improvisation that could upset the rhythm of their team. Then, the changes of tactics is working in the league, but nothing is said about that, which gives you the impression that the tactical inconsistency reason for Citys below-par performances on the Continent, is just another scapegoat by the media, following on from last year’s lack of experience scapegoat. Manchester City have a huge asset and advantage with their ability to change systems mid-game in certain situations, and has worked well for them, but one question that still remains is – Why can’t they carry on their League form into Europe?<br />

<br />
A lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon that England have started poorly in their World Cup<br />
qualifying campaign. I think its been alright. Not, in my opinion, anywhere near as bad as the British<br />
media have been making out, but at the same time it’s hardly been an explosive start. The win at<br />
Moldova was an early peak. It promised too much. Raised the expectation of fans, which was<br />
already through the roof, to heights England could never have reached. An early goal set England<br />
up for a demolition that was put into perspective by Ukraine’s 1-1 draw there a couple of weeks<br />
back. This coupled with the friendly win over Italy set England up for the fall. Inconsistency has<br />
been our Achilles heel for a while now, and it came back to haunt us at Wembley with Ukraine the<br />
visitors. Ukraine aren’t a bad side, but especially at home England should be chewing up sides like<br />
them and spitting them out. Instead we witnessed a very average performance and England were<br />
eventually held to a 1-1 draw at home by a side ranked 42nd in the world. Whilst I don’t particularly<br />
agree with many of the rankings (Portugal are currently ranked 3rd) I do feel that it is close to being<br />
representative of the gap in quality between England and Ukraine. It was three points we should’ve<br />
taken but didn’t, yet that point could be vital when it comes to the final reckoning.<br />
<br />
Next up were San Marino. Lets be honest, they’re a bit of a joke. I’m genuinely surprised the<br />
players can motivate themselves to go out and play a game of football when they haven’t scored an<br />
international goal since 2008. Since then they’ve lost 10-0 (Poland) 7-0 (Slovakia and Czech Republic)<br />
8-0 (Hungary and Finland) and the standout thrashing, 11-0 (Holland). Had England not beaten<br />
San Marino it would have been an embarrassment of the biggest proportions imaginable but they<br />
still had to go out and get a result, which they did. But then came worst performance of England’s<br />
qualifying so far: a 1-1 draw away to Poland. However, let’s not get it confused, it was a poor almost<br />
chanceless display from Hodgson’s men. But we must take heart from the fact that England got<br />
a point when they didn’t really deserve one. A win for Poland would not have flattered them, yet<br />
England ended up with a point towards their total.<br />

We’re actually a lot better at getting results than we like to think, regardless of the performance.<br />
We’ve won nine out of our last 13 matches, but every post match report seems to be filled with<br />
pessimism. Do journalists not realise what is going on? Its a vicious circle, as Gary Neville eluded to<br />
not so long ago: England players are lacking confidence because they’re scared of how they’ll look<br />
in the public eye if they make a mistake. Players without confidence struggle to play well, its not<br />
rocket science. Yet they are then continually slaughtered in newspapers after average matches. But<br />
then everyone loves to brand England as ‘boring’ and ‘disappointing’, for some reason its infectious.<br />
Everyone puts on a tone of mock surprise when England bring out a top performance. We love to<br />
set the bar a bit higher than England are likely to be able to reach. It’s not that the media don’t want<br />
England to do well, journalists just seem to encourage negative opinions of them too often, and<br />
we wallow in it. Almost enjoy it. It’s almost as if so many journalists have taken the same approach<br />
when writing on England that for the next it’s just easiest to take the same. Our attitude to England<br />
is to always look for and exaggerate the negatives, something that’s only going to put more pressure<br />
on players to succeed, its counterproductive. Players begin to feel like if they’re not on an eight out<br />
of ten they’re going to be slaughtered in the press. This is proven every two years at international<br />
competition; where England never seem to quite reach the expectation of fans. We’ve been there or<br />
there abouts for at least ten years (Euro 2008 aside), but whenever it comes down to the business<br />
end of the competition we fall and end up not seriously competing for the trophy.<br />
<br />
This isn’t to say I think people shouldn’t discuss England’s performance if it is genuinely poor, I’m not<br />
saying that they should be invincible from any criticism. But it seems that fans perception of what<br />
constitutes a poor performance is altered once the international break comes around. If Manchester<br />
United play a match against a team like Stoke, play poorly yet still manage to claim a point then they<br />
are heralded champions because of their ability to produce points from unlikely situations. Yet when<br />
you put England in the same position, the same fans have a completely different opinion.<br />
<br />
The reality is England are top of their group, which is where they should be, and that’s where they<br />
should finish. They have too much quality in their ranks to not finish there. But at the moment<br />
they’re where they always are, apparently doing just a bit less than what is expected of them.<br />

articles. Today, I will be looking at a subject close to a number of
footballer’s hearts: the mental side of the game.<br />
<br /> One hears many a
manager saying the game is “played in the mind” and some may wonder what
that means. It is one of the reasons that there are upsets. The reason
why teams are able to win games that perhaps they shouldn’t. They either
had a fantastic game plan, or they were prepared enough mentally to go
out and challenge. The opposition (let’s call them Champions) may well
go into the game against the Underdogs thinking they will be 3-0 up by
half-time and it’s an easy three points. <br />
<br /> However, if the Underdogs
come out and attack, it puts the Champions mindset under threat. This
isn’t the team they were expecting. They thought they would be able to
stroll to an easy victory. The Champions were not adequately prepared
mentally. The Underdogs set up to frustrate and annoy the Champions, get
stuck in, and subsequently win the game. <br />
<br /> That was purely a figment
of imagination, but it happens every week. Norwich 1, Arsenal 0 last
week. Middlesbrough 4, Manchester United 1 in 2005. The list goes on.
These are just notable examples I can drag up from my memory banks. <br />
<br /> There is also a mental side to the game that the supporters and media do not see. The side of depression. <br />
Dean Windass and Darren Eadie are just two ex-pros who admitted that
they were suffering from depression after leaving football, and in my
opinion it is easy to see how it can happen. You grow up with football:
football is your childhood, as it is mine. You don’t know anything other
than kicking a ball around grass into a net. Your whole mental mindset
is being focussed on the weekend, on the next game. That is what your
week builds up to as a professional footballer. <br />
<br /> When I step onto
the football pitch, I become a different person. Every thing bad that
has happened in the week is forgotten when you cross that white line in
the grass, when that first whistle blows. You are absorbed in the game,
you and it are one. Every kick, every goal: you feel it. You feel the
emotion running through you, and you love it, you crave it. <br />
<br /> When it
is taken away - either through retirement or injury - you lose a part
of yourself. You lose the part that everyone knew, that everyone saw.
Your whole life hinged on playing football, then it’s gone. <br /> Nothing
can match the thrill of adrenaline that football provides, it is
unique. It doesn’t require the type of courage that throwing yourself
out of a plane does. It isn’t the bravery of saving a life. It’s
something entirely different, yet entirely simple.<br />
<br /> Football fills you with a determination: I will win that header, I will make that tackle. <br />
<br />
Football relieves stress. Whilst exercising, neurotransmitters are
stimulated, and these are responsible for producing sensations such as
happiness, or the feeling of stress relief. Endorphins are produced,
which target the limbic and prefrontal areas of the brain; the areas
associated with emotions and feelings. Footballers run many kilometres a
game in total, and these endorphins produce a phenomenon called
“runner’s high”.<br /> But endorphins are also related to addiction. Drug
addicts have been shown to have high levels of endorphins, according to a
paper published by the neuroscience journal Impulse. <br />
<br /> What that
means is that football is a drug. It is an addiction, and when it is
taken away, players often feel low, depressed. Watching a game live does
not quite replicate the feeling that playing does, so offers only a
temporary reprieve. Footballers may have to make do with coaching, but
sometimes - in the sad case of Gary Speed - it is not enough.<br />
<br /> On a
different approach, injury can also cause depression. Injury is a lonely
place: your fellow professionals are outside, kicking the ball around,
whilst you are stuck in the gym trying frantically to build up your
muscles and match fitness. Depression can hit even the player with the
strongest mind. <br />
<br /> To conclude, more support needs to be given to
players who have retired and are struggling, or are out injured for long
periods of time. Whether they are in the Ridgeons Premier or in the
Premier League, there needs to be support give by the PFA. Depression
can affect everybody, and the best possible support needs to be given to
those suffering from it, either in football or someone from everyday
life.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Once a upon a time, Fabio Capello was asked to compare Phil
Jones to a past player, in his position. Capello responded with Two great
centre backs of the game, Baresi and Hierro. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Putting Jones and Baresi in the same sentence, seems utterly
stupid. Even if journalists forced the comparison out of him. At the time when
Capello made the comparison, Jones was flying for England and Man United,
people reluctantly saw the comparisons between Jones and Baresi. But a majority
of people thought, ‘you know what, what the hell? The lad is 19 and hasn’t even
had a full top season for England let alone Man United. Let’s not get carried
away.’ </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While now, if someone came up to you and said Phil Jones is in
the same ilk as Baresi and Heirro. You’d probably laugh at the person, and
think they were a complete idiot.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What happened to Phil Jones?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the first half of the season he was on fire. He was
glistening at Man United. He made his big transfer to United appear like simple
a procedure for a teenager. At times Jones was dominating for Man United and
even England. He was providing penetration, creativity and solidity in his
play. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But by the end of the season, Jones had been forgotten by
some. And Yes, did go to the Euros, but his role in the team was a merely as a
bit part sub. At the start of the season, many thought he’d be a certain
starter for England by then. While at the end of the season, people pondered if
he was actually good enough to be in the squad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what went wrong for Phil jones? Or did anything actually
go terribly wrong, or are people overreacting?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have compared Jones’ stats from last season between August to December
( the first half of the season) and January to May (the second half of the
season).</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s start off with the defensive stats. On the whole, in
terms of tackles, ground duals and aerial duals, in the first half of the
season (August – Dec), his win percentage was better than in the second half of
the season. The defensive solidity in the first of the season maybe comes down
to Jones being more fit, focused and confident.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, to be fair to Jones, the decline in percentage,
isn’t that much at all. So you can’t say his defending declined severely. But
one most consider in the first half of the season, Jones played in a more
offensive role. He played central midfield and often right back during the
first half of the season. While in the second half, he played mostly right back
and centre back. Perhaps that explains why he won more tackles, ground duals
and aerial duals more often per a game (in terms of minutes) than in the August
– December period. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My last point on the defensive stats of Jones, it is
interesting that the only stat which Jones severely declined from August to May
was interceptions. I think this factor is due to Jones lacking in focus in the
second half of the season. As its clear, if Jones was a wee bit sharper, he
would read the game in a more active way, meaning his interception rate would
be close to the first half of the season. But another point to consider is
because Jones played in a more defensive role in the second half of the season,
as opposed to playing in midfield, the need to intercept is far lower in the
defensive third. While in Midfield, the ball is often lose due to United’s aggressive
pressing game, meaning there is more balls to intercept.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In terms of passing stats, I feel this will indicate Jones
positional play far more clinically than his defensive stats, but generally, passing
stats show how tidy, composed and useful he is on the ball.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Firstly, and quite obviously Jones has made far less in the
second half of the season. This could be the consequences of Jones playing fewer
games in the second half of the season. And it could also be due to Jones
playing far less in the middle of the park. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another decline in the passing sector was Jones long ball
passing and the accuracy of it. I imagine this was due to Jones playing more
often at centre back and right back. In those positions Sir Alex Ferguson likes
his defence to predominantly build from the back rather than kick it long to
the strikers. But that doesn’t particularly explain why his long ball accuracy
declined. Perhaps it declined due to tiredness and a lack of fitness in the
final phases of last season. I do feel this tiredness has led to a decrease in
Jones’ focus when making passes, especially long passes.</div>

What’s interesting is although Jones has played in far more
defensive roles in the second half of the season, his final third passes and
accuracy did not declined by much at all. But moving onto chances created,
Jones created far less in the second half of the season. Again, I feel this is
the consequence of Jones playing in a far more defensive role. However, Jones
created more clear cut chances in the second half of the season. This is the
consequence of Jones making more runs from deep, thus having more space to
exploit. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ok, so why did Phil Jones become anonymous and even
forgotten in the second half of the season? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The answer to that is simple but varied.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The stats for me
demonstrate Jones became anonymous due to injuries, playing out of position and
tiredness. Although Jones played in more of his natural position (a defensive
role) in the second half of the season, he lacked the confidence and energy to
make the penetrative runs which made him catch everyone’s eye.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although Jones stats did in overall decline in the second
half of the season, I don’t think the stats in the second half of the seas are that
bad. Especially considering his age and it’s was first season at Man United. I
think in some respects, he overachieved in the first half of the season and
often overachievement brings greater expectations on Phil Jones to sustain his
form and improve it even further.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, as I said, Jones stats aren’t bad at all. With
time, Phil Jones could be one of the best centre backs in the Premier League.
The anonymity he currently faces, could help him progress under the radar. </div>

<br />
The eventual winners Spain were criticised recurrently during the recent European Championships for their lack of goals considering the plenteous and lengthy spells of possession as well as the quality of their team. La Roja's tiki-taka football was branded as "boring" by the media, due to the lack of chances created in the final third.<br />

<br />
The predominant reason for their 'dull' football was their formation, as Del Bosque used a formation similar to a 4-6-0, with Fabregas being (on paper) their highest position player. Despite being listed as a striker in this formation, the Barcelona midfielder played a false 9 role, in which he dropped deep into midfield, meaning that Spain were without a forward quite often throughout matches.<br />
<br />
This innovative system allows teams to dominate the midfield, as you'd expect with 6 midfielders and supported Spain's aim to control matches with possession.<br />
<br />
However, since they sacrificed playing a striker to dominate more of the middle of the park, the long spells of possession that they had rarely had an end product. This was due to the fact that there was no one to receive through balls into the final third, since the forwards played a lot of the time deeper alongside the trio in the middle of the park.<br />
<br />
<b>Origins of the 4-6-0 </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The birthplace of many tactical innovations is Italy, this great footballing nation is the home of the libero, the regista, and is where Lionel Messi's role, the false 9 was created. The latter of these positions was actually invented in the 4-6-0 system, at AS Roma by their manager at the time, Luciano Spalletti. Unlike Spain's 4-6-0, this formation was used for counter-attacking purposes, as the Italian side looked to score on the break through their men on the flanks.<br />
<br />
Spalletti was somewhat forced to invent this formation, due to a lack of strikers during a small injury crisis at the club and it brought them success, and despite the forwards coming back from their injuries, Spalletti continued to use this system.<br />
<br />
<b>Could it Work on a long Term Basis? </b><br />
<br />
Within both examples of teams playing a 4-6-0, they used the formation temporarily. It was Spalletti's solution to an injury crisis, whilst Del Bosque only used it in the European Championships. We have yet to see a 4-6-0 be effective throughout a long period of time. The reasons to the failings of this formation lies up front, without a striker teams can dominate the possession stat, whilst creating few chances. There is no forward to make the runs behind the defence, to serve as an outlet for the through balls of Silva, Iniesta,
Xavi, and Alonso.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This problem was exposed in La Roja's opening match against Italy, despite having 66% of the possession, they only scored one goal. This goal came from a run from deep and behind the Italian defence, something which they lacked throughout the tournament.<br />
<br />
As you can see in the diagram, most of Spain's passes in the final third were short, and there aren't many through balls, which resulted in a lack of chances created for the side.<br />
<br />
To counter this lack of penetration, the wingers need to be good goalscorers, like Mirko Vucinic in Roma's system, the Montenegrin was positioned on the left flank by Spalletti despite being a natural striker, where he now plays for Juventus.<br />
<br />
On the attack, the side also has to get numbers forward. The front three should always be in advanced positions when their team is putting pressure on the opposition. This means that there will always be players making runs from deep and looking to make themselves available for the piercing through balls supplied by their teammates in midfield.<br />
<br />
<b>How it Could Work </b><br />
<br />
The 4-6-0 is a good formation for both counter-attacking and possession football. The compact midfield allows you to sit deep without giving the opposition too much space to work with, this also allows for quick and short passes to move the ball upfield, since every player is in close range of each other.<br />
<br />
Like in the Roma side, the wingers need to be competent goalscorers to make sure you don't lack too much firepower up front. The two central midfielders also need to support the attack to make sure the players up top don't get isolated, whilst the holding midfielder behind them can either play as a destroyer (if you're in a counter-attacking side) or a regista if you're playing possession football.<br />

I noticed an increasing feeling on social media platforms and amongst the tv

Champions League. Now in the past few years with </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">Barcelona</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"> dominating, it can be understood.
Yet if you took a look at Real Madrid’s past few years in the UCL, you’d notice

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">So let’s
see who really does dominate the Champions League as we know it. The consensus

stage:</span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"></span></b><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">Over the past 15 seasons, the
English Premier League has been an ever-present in the quarter-final stage.
Aside from that, they’ve made a total of 32 appearances at this stage. This is
more important since it is a reflection of the strength of the league. An
example is the 2007/08 & 2008/09 seasons which both had 4 EPL teams reach
the QF stage. That’s 8 appearances in the QF over 2 years for the EPL. No other
league has had 4 teams from their league in the QF at this stage, yet the EPL
managed it in 2 consecutive seasons. La Liga trails in this regard with 27 appearances
over 15 seasons.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">It has to
be said that the QF stage of the Champions League has been dominated by the EPL
teams for nearly 2 decades, but if we think about the Semi-Finals over the past
few years, one team springs to mind – </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">Barcelona</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">. An ever-present for half a decade

in </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">Europe</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">. It’s quite true though. The last
time Barca failed to reach the SF stage was 6 seasons back. They are clearly
the best team in </span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;">Europe</span><span lang="EN-ZA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-ZA;"> based on UEFA coefficients. But what about the rest of La Liga? </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though the past 6 seasons saw 11 appearances by EPL
teams in the semi’s against the 9 from La Liga, the Spanish league pips the
Premier League since the EPL made most of their SF appearances in the past few
years. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the most striking facts one can take from this table
is the gulf between the EPL/La Liga teams when compared against the rest of the
European Leagues. None of the other leagues have made 10 appearances at this
stage, yet the EPL & La Liga might make their 19<sup>th</sup> & 20<sup>th</sup>
appearance this season if more than 1 team reaches the SF. It speaks volumes as
to why many foreign players are choosing the EPL & La Liga over Bundesliga
& especially Serie A. There seems to be more chance of glory in those 2
leagues.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having said that, there has been a Bundesliga team in the
semi’s for the past 3 seasons. Italy’s
last appearance in the semi’s – 2009/10. In fact, out of the past 15 seasons, a
Serie A team has only been present in 7 of those 15 tournaments at this stage.
And what of the Eredivisie? 1 appearance in the semi’s in 15 seasons? It’s
little wonder that the youth of Ajax
choose to move to the giants of Europe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of all of these numbers & figures, the 3 year stretch by
the EPL between 2006 & 2009, has to be the most impressive. 3 EPL teams
reached the semi’s 3 years in a row. 9 appearances in 3 seasons. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
La Liga takes the prize for the best semi-finalists, edging
out the EPL for now at least.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Finals</u></b></div>

It’s very easy to count who has won the most titles over 15
years, but dominance doesn’t always result in titles. Chelsea
vs Barcelona/Bayern last season. The dominant team didn’t win. Simply reaching
the finals is a massive achievement. Things can go wrong within the game, but
reaching the final is no accident. Having said that, which league has had the
most appearances in the Final since 1997/98?</div>

The EPL slightly edges La Liga, having made 9 appearances in
the finals over 15 years. The graph roughly states that there’s currently over
a 50% chance that a team from the EPL will reach the finals. However, if you
look at their run before 2004, you’ll notice the stark contrast. Simply 1 final
before 2004 – the famous 1999 victory from Manchester United. It clearly shows
how far the EPL has come over the past decade. Over the past 8 seasons, there
have been 8 appearances in the finals by an EPL team. That is ridiculously
good. In comparison, the past 8 seasons have seen 3 finals from La Liga teams (all
3 appearances from Barcelona). La
Liga had more of a presence in the finals in the years building up to the 2002
Galacticos victory.</div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Winners</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
La Liga has taken more UCL titles than any other league in Europe.
Currently sitting on a 75% chance of victory if a La Liga team reaches the
final. All 6 of the La Liga titles have been won by either Real Madrid or Barcelona,
whereas 3 of the 4 EPL titles have been won by different teams. A shock to the
Bundesliga (recently rewarded with 4 UCL spots) is their success rate over the
past 15 seasons. 1 title (Bayern Munich). Even more worrying for the rest of Europe
is that there have been no winners over the past 8 years other than Serie A, La
Liga & EPL. A total domination of titles shared amongst 3 leagues.</div>

Bear in mind that all of these stats are taken from the
1997/98 season – 2011/12. The reason is that 1997/98 was the first season to
invite other teams apart from the league winners. This means we can grade the
league and not just 1 team from the league (as pre-1997/98 tournaments were
structured). Since UEFA have invited more than just 1 EPL team into the UCL, I
would venture to say that they have dominated. Using the tables above, we can take
the following info:</div>

This is a table based on presence – basically, who was there
in the final stages over a period of 15 years. There has been more of a
presence in the final stages by EPL teams rather than La Liga. The difference
is that the La Liga teams go on to win the trophy when reaching the final. Well
6 out of 8 times, that is. At the end of the season, the winners are always
remembered & rightfully so. Hopefully this article shows that the EPL, in
recent years, has been the league to go consistently further than others in
this competition. It also shows the vast gap between EPL & La Liga teams
when compared to the rest of Europe.</div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
As I write this Everton
sit 3<sup>rd</sup> in the premier league, and their great Merseyside
rivals Liverpool currently lie in 18<sup>th</sup>. Historically
Liverpool has always been the number one club on Merseyside. The most
successful club in English history. Everton have always lived in the
shadow of their close neighbours and rivals. They have always seen as
the underdogs in the derbies and never really given a chance. But
this year it could be different. I’ve seen Everton’s last two
games and both times I have been thoroughly impressed. Players
playing under David Moyes have always had high work rates and high
levels of self belief, but Everton’s team this year has something
else. </div>

During his 10 year
tenor as Everton boss his team have been famed for their 1-0 wins,
built on strong defences. Set pieces whipped in towards the aerial
assassin Tim Cahill were the order of the day. That’s not to say
Everton don’t still have that strong defence, with Hibbert Jagielka
Distin and Baines remaining constant for several years now, but these
days Everton step out onto the field every week without any thought
of a draw in mind.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We saw the beginnings
of it last season with the excellent signing of Nikica Jelavic. At
£5.5m he has turned out to be an absolute steal, smashing in 9 goals
in 10 games towards the back end of last season. They drew 4-4 at Old
Trafford, a truly spectacular and deserved score line. In previous
years Everton had gone to teams above them in the league in the hope
of a draw, sitting back and relying on counter attacks and set
pieces. Not in 2012, they went for it and played some fabulous
football, and came back from 4-2 down with 7 minutes to go to claim a
point. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Just last week we saw
evidence of Everton’s new found attacking prowess. In their last 2
games Everton have smashed in 5 goals from a variety of sources.
Against Newcastle the combination play was exceptional, especially
down the left between Pienaar and Baines, two players that know each
other’s games inside out. They cut through Newcastle at will and
were extremely unlucky to only collect a point having dominated the
game and had two goals unfairly ruled out. The early kickoff against
Swansea was seen to be a real test for Everton. Last season very few
teams went to the Liberty and took the points. Everton pressed high
got the early goal and took it from there. Swansea’s usually
dominant passing was nowhere to be seen with Everton even taking the
lion’s share of the possession statistics with 56%. When Mikel
Arteta left Everton it was a devastating blow. Many thought that
Everton’s midfield would struggle to recover. But like many teams
once the main man had left Everton just grew tighter as a group, and
their midfield were imperious on Saturday.<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
One thing Arteta
definitely never had in front of him was a clinical finisher. This
season Everton have that player. The aforementioned Nikica Jelavic is
there to tuck away the chances created by the likes of Pienaar and
Baines. Now, Leighton Baines. As much as he’s highly rated across
the country, I still feel that people do not fully understand the
ability of the man. For me, he is among the best left backs in the
world. The only reason he is not internationally respected is that he
is not at a club that gets enough coverage across the world. That is
not to say I think he needs to move, because he is so settled at
Everton, but he could walk into any team in the premier league bar
Chelsea. Its’ up to him. To illustrate prove my point, so far this
season he has been the most creative player in the premier league,
creating 24 chances this season and averaging a chance created every
18.75 minutes. He has created more chances for his side from left
back than players like Santi Cazorla (20) and David Silva (14) have
from much further up the field. This is why I feel that his
importance to Everton cannot be overstated.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To give a recent
example of the attacking capabilities of Pienaar and Baines, against
Newcastle they had the highest number of penalty area entries of
anyone in both sides (5 and 6 respectively). The two even combined
for the first goal, with Pienaar playing through Baines who fired
home. In the second half Everton had two goals wrongly disallowed,
with one player I have yet to mention instrumental in them both.
Marouane Fellaini. When Everton paid £16m him, many a head was
turned. Not only because he was a young, unproven player, but also
because up until that point Everton had always been very shrewd with
their transfer business. They only paid what they believed players to
be were worth. And there were very few people at the time who
believed he would be worth £16m. Four years later, and what then
seemed a strange signing has proved a master stroke. The big Belgian
has impressed everyone since the moment he stepped into Goodison. He
arrived. It’s another classic David Moyes player really. Hard
working and fully committed on the pitch, but off the pitch you never
hear a sniff of late nights on the town or training ground bust ups.
No. He keeps his head down and keeps working. Or at least he did
until last week. Fellaini apparently told a Belgian newspaper that he
was ready to leave Everton at the next opportunity. This broke the
code. David Moyes and Fellaini himself have been quick to quash the
exit rumours, but we will see how it develops. One thing’s for sure
though, if he continues this season in the same vein that he’s
started it in, this will be his best season yet. </div>

Fellaini embodies David
Moyes’ Everton machine. Hard working, relatively unknown player
signed for what proved to be brilliant business. That is a sentence
that could be attributed to the vast majority of Everton’s signings
in the last 6 years. So I was surprised when I heard that Everton had
signed Kevin Mirallas, a player who has earned the nickname ‘the
Belgian Ronaldo’. It didn’t fit, he appeared to be a flashy
goal-scoring player who, with the nickname he has, I presumed would
rarely return from the oppositions half. I presumed wrong. Whilst his
goal-record is undoubtedly impressive, another thing I’ve noticed
about Mirallas is that he doesn’t forget his defensive duties. It’s
true that very occasionally you see him attempting a few moves for
the next YouTube compilation but that won’t concern David Moyes.
What is most important for Everton is that he seems right at home in
his new surroundings. Three games, three excellent performances and
the future look bright for him at Everton. </div>

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8689891478710026313" name="_GoBack"></a>Everton’s
next three premier league games are at home to Southampton and away
to Wigan and QPR, and on current form you cannot see them dropping
many points in those. And after that it’s the big one, Liverpool.
Everton are no longer a side to be overlooked. They can and it looks
like they probably will beat their neighbours in that fixture. And I
think they will beat them again in the overall table come next May.
Yet despite all this, I still see two major hurdles for Everton.
Firstly, injuries. They have an outstanding first eleven but when you
look past that it gets less impressive. If Everton’s main men get
injured it could spell disaster. The likes of Baines Fellaini and
Jelavic simply must stay fit if Everton are to have a successful
season. The only other hurdle I can see for Everton is consistency,
something they’ve always had a problem with. But get some momentum
going, and ride some luck with injuries, then Everton can be as good
as they want to be. It’s a long season and a good start means
nothing if you cannot sustain it (I’m sure Wolves fans will testify
to this), but we will see. </div>

<i>Today, The Football Front interviews an American based football fan, </i><i>Maria Xing, </i><i> on her exciting experiences of seeing her favourite stars and clubs play in America. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Hi Maria, thanks for
coming on and talking about your experiences this pre season.</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello, it is an honour to be interviewed by The Football
Front! Thanks for having me on here.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So, what teams did
you see this summer in America?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I saw quite a few teams this summer actually. Club:
Liverpool, Roma, Tottenham, New York Red Bulls, Chelsea, PSG, Real Madrid,
Milan, Lyon, Montpellier. International: Mexico, Wales, Argentina, El Salvador,
and Brazil.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Which games did you
enjoy the most?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I’m a Liverpool fan, I enjoyed the match against Roma the
most. It was great to see the Redmen play despite the end result. The Argentina
v. Brazil match was absolutely surreal; I witnessed Messi scoring a hat-trick
right in front of my eyes. Real v. Milan was also a great match, ended in a 5-1
rout. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">As most people who
follow you on Twitter know, you are a huge Liverpool fan and you had the chance
to interview a LFC player and watch the reds train, how amazing was that
experience seeing the reds in that zone?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can’t put it into words. Phenomenal. Mind-blowing. I’d
only been to one other match in my lifetime, so seeing them in the flesh again
was unbelievable. Attending the training sessions was interesting because I was
able to witness first-hand the personalities of the players. I recall watching
Fabio Borini and Steven Gerrard sharing a nice bonding session. It made me
smile! The interview opportunity I had with Jack Robinson was brilliant as
well. I sat down with him, Liverpool’s Director of Communications, and Head of
Press. It was so cool to be surrounded by all these people who represent the
club I love.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Were there any
Liverpool players who you really excited to meet? </b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>If I had to pick one, it’d be Stevie. I’m sure my fellow
American Reds would agree. I met him outside the training ground, and the place
was absolutely electric when he arrived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He’s such a nice guy. He made sure to sign everyone’s shirts and take
pictures with all his fans before leaving. I told him he was my hero and he
thanked me. I was also really excited to meet Lucas, Agger, Sterling, and
McLaughlin. Lucas was very impressive last season and has grown on me. He’s got
a great sense of humour as well! Agger’s just a hero – I wish I could have seen
his “YNWA” tattoo on his knuckles though. Sterling and McLaughlin are two
youngsters who I had talked to prior to the tour, so I was excited to finally
meet them. It’s funny, really. They even recognized me! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was also pretty pumped to meet Robbie Fowler and Ian Rush,
who attended one of the training sessions and played a friendly against Harvard
staff. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Besides Liverpool
players, did you get the chance to speak or take pictures with any other
players?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes! My second favourite team is AS Roma and I was lucky
enough to attend their meet-and-greet in Boston. I was able to take pictures
with the team and get my shirt signed. I also got the chance to speak to the
Brazil and Wales national teams, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Lyon. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What non –Liverpool
players did you really enjoy meeting this pre season?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsUkbic2yahlAp0RXw2dAEha2ozfyNaCTznBWL7Y2BUzhUkKktkD00ltU7k0bb0POPxJEO02Xm9K5_v0wzykgckl-ZhhHhDxJKMC0KFUeBTapMxKZVWdGo-sHb72ehbTa1w7YFBYkOhEAt/s1600/totti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsUkbic2yahlAp0RXw2dAEha2ozfyNaCTznBWL7Y2BUzhUkKktkD00ltU7k0bb0POPxJEO02Xm9K5_v0wzykgckl-ZhhHhDxJKMC0KFUeBTapMxKZVWdGo-sHb72ehbTa1w7YFBYkOhEAt/s400/totti.jpg" width="396" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved meeting my idol Francesco Totti. He’s just a legend,
no other way of putting it. It’s rare to find someone who loves his club as
much as he does. Same goes for Thierry Henry, I loved watching him play for
Arsenal back in the day. Who else? David Luiz was a top #geezer, Nuri Sahin was
incredibly nice (this was before he joined Liverpool), Aaron Ramsey and Bojan
were sweethearts - I could go on and on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, it was cool discussing transfer activity with some of
the players. After Kenny Dalglish left Liverpool, the manager job remained
vacant for a while. I met several Swansea players during that time and asked
them what they thought of Brendan Rodgers leaving their club. Ashley Williams
said that Rodgers was “brilliant” and didn’t want him to leave, and Jazz
Richards agreed with him. I told Andy Carroll not to go to Newcastle, which I
guess he listened to as he left for West Ham instead. Nuri took my advice and
joined Liverpool, whereas Hugo Lloris didn’t when I told him not to leave Lyon.
I guess my scouting work didn’t have a 100% success rate, shame!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Meeting footballers
in the flesh is of course different to what you see and expect on the
television, did some players surprise you with their personality and behaviour?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some did and some didn’t. The footballer who didn’t surprise
me at all was Cristiano Ronaldo. I know he donates to charity and occasionally
demonstrates acts of kindness, but his personality was unimpressive. There was
a fan who asked to take a picture with him and he completely ignored him. The
fan proceeded to jump over a barricade and force him into taking a picture; it
got pretty ridiculous. There were some Liverpool players who surprised me with
how nice they were. For example - I’d witnessed a lot of Aquilani abuse before
he had left the club, but he was an absolute gentleman. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Did you find it
surreal or even a bit weird to be amongst the superstars of the game? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, absolutely. I found it surreal every time I met a
different footballer. You’d think that I would’ve gotten used to it, but I
didn’t. I’d spent most of my life watching these players on TV and the next
thing I know, bam! They’re standing right in front of me. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">As a football fan
based, in America, do you think clubs spending their pre season in USA has benefited
American soccer and the interest the sport generates?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Definitely. I saw all kinds of people at the matches I went
to – long-time fans, fans of other clubs, people who don’t normally watch
football, etc. The variety was incredible. It was beautiful to see them
unified, all enjoying one match and cheering on one team. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: yellow;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Do you feel, clubs
should do more to appeal and reach to their fans overseas? </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s the foreign fans who bring in a lot of the club’s
revenue and make them prosper. As a whole - if a club wants to be bigger, then
they definitely need to do more to appeal and reach out to people overseas.
It’s a win-win situation really. Foreign fans don’t get the same opportunities
as local ones do: many can’t afford to travel all the way to Liverpool to watch
matches. It’s great that the team goes out on tour and provides them with that
chance. </div>

Hello, I’m Callum Rivett, and this week I’ll be
giving you a snippet of my footballing ‘career’. It’s something
different for you, and hopefully it’ll give you a chance for you to know
me a bit better. If you want to list your favourite moments of your
footballing journey, you are more than welcome to do so in the comments
below! (And if you’re a scout for any football club, I’m more than
welcome to receive an offer…) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
started playing competitive football when I was 5, playing a year up
for Hemsby Hornets, as a right back, purely because there wasn't a team
in my age group yet. I played a few years there, then a team formed that
was my age group so I went there and continued as a right back. We were
constantly near the bottom of Division One (the top league of a three
tiered system) but did win the Shield (the Carling Cup of the Norfolk
and Suffolk Youth League) once, then got relegated. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They
folded and our manager went in 2008 - and took most of our players,
including myself - to Caister Roma who had just been promoted to
Division One. In my first year there we finished 2nd in the league. I
was still right back, then I went to right midfield and often central
midfield. I preferred playing on the wing. The second year was terrible
for me: the manager didn't rotate - myself and two others found
ourselves on the bench every single week. We finished 5th that year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In
the next preseason I scored a really good goal against a team in the
year above: I got the ball inside my own half, flicked it up to our
striker in the centre circle, he headed it back to me and I hit it on
the half-volley from inside the centre circle and lobbed the keeper. But
once again I was constantly on the bench, and was getting annoyed. I
frequently scored and assisted from the midfield. That year (2009-10)
was my last year at Caister, as they folded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I
joined a Division Two (the leagues had been compressed, so now there was
only two divisions) side where all my mates played but finished near
the bottom of the league a lot of the time. This was my first ever year
upfront, and in my first game against one of the best teams in the
league I scored a hat-trick. I went on to score 31 goals in 21 games,
which is ok. We finished 9th out of 12.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then
last year we got a load of new, good players who were our mates, and we
really improved. I scored 36 goals in 22 games then, we finished 3rd,
just outside the promotion places. We got to the semi-finals of the
Shield, but got knocked out by a poor refereeing decisions - it was 1-1
away to a Division One side, and in the last few minutes one of their
players dived in our box and somehow the ref thought it was a penalty.
They scored it, and we lost 2-1.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But we always
struggled getting a full team each week despite having fourteen players
signed on. The deadline for getting a team for this coming season is
today [Saturday 8th], and currently only nine players have signed on, so
it's looking doubtful we'll have a team.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
On a
positive note, I've had two teams say that they'll have me, but one's an
adult team and I'm not 16 until the end of January. No news on Ormesby
having a team yet though. Doubt it.<br />

This article is a bit late. No wait, it’s hideously late.
But I was bored and I’ve always wanted to make a top four XI, especially
considering I did a <a href="http://thefootballfront.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/premier-league-teams-relegated-xi.html">relegation
XI</a>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But doing a top four XI is tough and controversial. On one
hand there is no Chelsea, as they
didn’t finish in the top four. But on the other hand the Blues have only gone
and won the Champions League, so you ask yourself do I consider the Chelsea
players or do I leave them out? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are the questions that keep me awake at night..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, for the sake of the challenge, I have decided to keep Chelsea
out of it. Now Chelsea fans, don’t
be hurt, I have done this as I wanted it to literally be the Top Four XI.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here we go,</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For me, the keepers argument is quite simple. It’s gotta be <b>Joe
Hart</b> hasn’t it? He is the man, he makes goalkeeping look cool. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But in terms of football, he has been fantastic. Hart is
incredibly well rounded, focused and often saves his team’s bacon countless of
times. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But what impresses me about Hart is his leadership and
organisational skills. He really settles and calms Man
City’s backline, the understanding
between him and his defenders is fantastic and is visible to anyone who watches
City.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Right Back:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Again, this area is relatively straight forward for me.
Although he didn’t feature as much as expected last season, I do feel <b>Bacary
Sagna</b> is the best right back in the Premier League. A few months ago, I did
an analysis on right backs <a href="http://thefootballfront.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/just-how-good-is-kyle-walker.html">here</a>.
And Sagna dominated over a number of leading right backs in the Premier League.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

Sagna offers something many full backs crave, and that’s
balance, in terms of offensive duties and defensive duties. Sagna’s great
positioning and reading of the game allows him to roam forward and defend adequately.

<b> </b>This is tough, probably because most of the top four have very
gifted centre backs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking at the stats, im going for <b>Vincent Kompany and Joleon
Lescott</b>. Now, I know it’s dead boring and is a bit like someone having the
chance to pick anything to have for dinner and they go for the old routine of
bangers and mash. But these two are pretty good and cover a lot of bases. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kompany is arguably the best centre back in the Premier
League. He dominates his opponents; he wins most of his tackles and reads the
game very well. While with Lescott, we have a left sided centre back, who is a
tackling specialist. Lescott is dominant in the air too. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Left Back: </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is an interesting one to call. If Chelsea
made the top four, Ashley Cole would certainly be up there. But even so, it’s
still a hard question. A few months ago, I also did an analysis on <a href="http://thefootballfront.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/search-for-premier-leagues-best-left_02.html">some
left backs in the Premier League</a>, and <b>Gael Clichy</b> really impressed
me. Like his former Arsenal team-mate Sagna, Clichy
is well rounded in regards to his offensive and defensive work. But my one
issue with Clichy is that he
doesn’t play as many games as he really should at Man
City. Perhaps that’s due to
Mancini..being well, Mancini. It’s quite clear, Roberto loves to shuffle his
full backs. But, I love the balance Clichy
brings at full back. He defends well, and support attacks pretty effectively
too. </div>

The Premier League is actually blessed with some very
talented defensive midfielders. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Looking at the stats, it’s hard. It’s like choosing a chocolate
from a Celebrations tin. There are too many tasty, yet different types of
defensive midfielders. But I will go for <b>Mikel Arteta.</b> His passing,
composure and ball retention is absolutely key in that role.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, his tackling isn’t that bad
either. The Spaniard is a resilient leader who really gets his teams to tick
and can often dictate the tempo of games. Something which I feel Carrick,
Parker and Barry struggle to do. </div>

<b>Yaya Toure</b> has to be in this side, without a doubt.
One could easily argue, Toure is the best box to box midfielder in the world.
Toure has the characteristics to dominate games and he’s proven time and time
again he is the man who can make the difference for Man
City. One of the things I admire
about Toure is his vision and passing abilities, they compliment physicality
and the dominant stature he has. </div>

Toure’s partner in this midfield is no other than the great <b>Luka

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>David Silva</b> – He has got to be in the team hasn’t he?
David Silva is like the bread of a sandwich, he is the one who completes the
team. He is the one gives the team texture. David Silva’s quick feet, agile
style and his creativity make him imperative for this team. The Spaniard is
class, he makes creating chances look like a simple task. </div>

<b>Attacking Right:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing there are so many quality strikers and wingers in the
Premier League, it’s hard to pick someone, over another talented player. As you
can go with someone like Nani, and think, ‘yeah, he’s a good player.’ Then
later you may ponder, what about Bale, his directness, assertiveness and
powerful left foot makes him a must have. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But, for the attacking right position, I am going for <b>Robin
Van Persie</b>. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Van Persie is awesome. And let’s be under no allusions, he
is a complete striker. He has wonderful feet, great variation in his finishing
and can create chances for his team mates too. Van Persie proved last season,
if he can stay injury free, he can score for absolute fun. He really can. His positioning,
composure and decision making is first class.</div>

<b>Centre Forward:</b></div>

Originally, I wanted to compare Aguero, Rooney and Van
Persie to each other, but I liked them so much I wanted them all in the team.
It was a bit self indulgent of me, it’s like finishing that whole box of
celebrations by myself. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I have gone for <b>Sergio Aguero </b>up front. This man
is sensational. I think his price tag has made people not recognise how crucial
he was last season for Man City.
People forget, he joined the club aged 22. In his debut season in English
football, he scored an impressive 23 league goals. And if you watched him with Man
City, he was fully embedded into
the side. His understanding and vision of the game was complimented by his City
team mates. Aguero himself bagged 8 assists too, a symbol of his cohesion in
the team. One aspect of Aguero’s game which impressed me was his physicality.
Although he may not be the biggest player, he certainly stood his ground and led
the City line very effectively.<br />
<br />
So here's how the team would look on paper.<br />

In his debut article for The Football Front, Olly
Howells takes a look at the difference in finance between the Football League
and the Premier League.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, how much is the difference between the clubs who
play their trade in the top flight of the footballing pyramid and those who
endeavour to join them? What’s the difference between earning success in the
Premier League and in the basement leagues of English football? How do football
league clubs spend whatever money they have on progressing as a club compared
to the footballing elite? I look into how different the running of clubs is
between clubs from every division of league football. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Income:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prize money is probably the most understandable way that
Premier League clubs earn more money than lower league sides. With an estimated
£800,000 given for each place, the winner of the Barclays Premier League scoops
an impressive £16,000,000 to go with their title as champions of England.
This is compared to the winner of the Championship, just one tier below, where
the winner only takes £50,000 in prize money. This is then dropped to just
£25,000 in League 1, and an estimated £26,000 in League 2. Then there’s
qualification to continental competitions such as the Champions League to add
to the equation, a competition where clubs receive roughly £15.7m television
rights for competing, with prize money of £7.8m on offer to the winner. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Television rights</b> bring in millions of pounds to the
top clubs in English football, everyone knows that, but how much so? Premier
League winners Manchester City
received a staggering £60,602,289 for television rights in the 2011/12 season,
and this was only for the Premier League, not including the UEFA Champions
League, FA Cup or Carling Cup (now Capital One Cup). The lowest earners in
terms of TV revenue in the premier league were Wolverhampton Wanderers, but
don’t despair for them too much, as they still received an incredible
£39,084,461. There is no sign of these figures shrinking either, with Sky
Sports and BT recently paying £3.018 billion for the right to televise top
flight English football for the next 3 years, over £1 billion a season. Compare
this with the bottom of the football league ladder, where teams are not paid
the cursory £32.5m to each club such as with the premier league, but on a
game-to-game basis, and with a far smaller sum of money, rarely breaking the
£100,000 barrier. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Sponsorships</b> obviously vary from club to club, as
well as league to league, but in the 2009/10 season, Manchester United were receiving
over £14m a year from their shirt sponsors AIG, a figure which will have only
risen when United signed a deal with current shirt sponsors, insurance company
Aon. My club Oxford United are sponsored by another insurance company, Bridle
Insurance, and are extremely unlikely to be receiving a penny over £100k a year
for this deal, although as details are kept much more under wraps than in the
higher levels of the game this figure cannot be confirmed. This is also likely
to be one of the most lucrative shirt sponsorship deals in League 2, due to Oxford
having one of the largest fanbases in the league. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are the three main sources of income to football clubs
in the English football league, but the most important part of running a club
successfully is how this money is reinvested into the club, whether that be
behind the scenes or in the playing staff, a decision usually varied by what
division the clubs are in due to financial similarities. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Premier League</b> clubs have a clear tendency to spend
the majority of their income on new personnel on the pitch, with a staggering
£508m spent on players in the 2011/12 season, an average of £25.4m per team.
This appears to be a recipe for success in the top flight, with the highest
spenders of the season Manchester City, who splashed out over £76m on players,
coming out victorious, and the three relegated sides were all in the bottom
half of the table in terms of spending. This spending extends into the wages of
these players, with City players receiving an average of £4,486,580 each a
year. Players for one of last seasons relegated sides, Bolton Wanderers,
averaged a salary of over £1.4m a year, a figure that would be larger than the
entire playing budget for a majority of League 2 sides, and even a few League 1
sides. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Championship</b> sides have a different dilemma, due to
the dramatically different financial situations of the clubs in the second
tier. With a much smaller amount of money brought into these clubs through
television rights and sponsorships, finances are a much more pressing issue to
these clubs; especially while clubs outside of the top division seem to be
punished more severely for financial frailty. Premier League giants Manchester
United are said to be in over £423m worth of debt without punishment, while
clubs such as Chester City (formerly of the Football Conference, now Blue
Square Bet Premier), were forced into liquidation due to a debt of just
£26,125. The obvious example of repercussions of poor financial control is
Portsmouth FC, who currently have just 17 players on their books after the club
narrowly avoided liquidation themselves, after poor running of the club caused
the club to enter administration for the second time in three years, with the
club in around £58m of debt. This may seem like an outrageously high figure of
debt, but compared to the £423m of debt that Manchester United find themselves
in, while still being allowed to remain active in the transfer market, it seems
ludicrous that Pompey should suffer so heavily while United remain
unpunished. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These are all reasons why Championship sides have to find a
successful balance between investing money into playing and backroom staff,
upgrading facilities and keeping their club running smoothly; more so than
Premier League clubs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
League 1 & League 2 clubs have to run even more
carefully, with even smaller financial losses leading to equally severe
consequences. In the ‘basement divisions’, money often isn’t enough to
guarantee promotion or titles, where as we all know how far money will get you
at the top level. Swindon Town’s
recent success in League 2 does appear to completely disprove my point, with
their playing budget for their promotion season rumoured to be an extortionate
£3.4m, more than three times the average playing budget in League 2 of roughly
£1.1m. This has not often been a recipe for success in the lower divisions
though, and is an extremely risky tactic: with wage caps kicking in in a clubs
second season in the division, failure to earn promotion will lead to serious
consequences, with a majority of clubs best players forced to leave clubs in
order to keep wages below wage caps. Rotherham United are looking to emulate
Swindon this season, with their playing budget rumoured to be £2.6m, but will
find it hard going against the likes of Gillingham and Port Vale, even with far
less money being pumped into their playing squads.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sides in League 1 & 2 often decide to invest more in
behind the scenes details than blow their budgets on players’ wages, none more
so than Crewe Alexandra, who use the youth academy at the club to keep the club
running smoothly through the sales of bright prospects to bigger clubs, and
bringing players into their first team from the academy, run by Dario Gradi.
When Crewe won promotion to League 1 at Wembley in May,
an incredible 9 of the starting 11 Crewe players were
products of this fantastically run set-up. Players that have come through the
Crewe academy include former England international Dean Ashton, Fulham legend
Danny Murphy, current Celtic manager and former Leicester City and Celtic star
Neil Lennon, former Wales international Robbie Savage and current Manchester
City assistant manager David Platt, who went on to make 62 appearances for
England after coming through the youth set-up at Gresty Road. The most recent
player to come from this set-up is current Manchester United player Nick
Powell, who Crewe sold for £4,000,000 at the age of just
18, after he had an impressive first season and a half with Crewe,
including scoring an incredible goal in the play-off final in his last
appearance for Alexandra. In recent years they have also sold current West Ham
forward Nicky Maynard for £2.25m when he was just 21 and Leeds
forward Luke Varney to Charlton Athletic for £2m after he came through this
outstanding system. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another thing that lower league clubs do to spend money
wisely is work on players that the clubs already have, with many clubs boasting
strength and conditioning coaches, whose job is purely to get the current squad
into the best condition possible. Again returning to my team, Oxford United
have made a huge indent into their cash flow in this area, with new chairman
Ian Lenagan spending £150,000 on fitness and conditioning. This may seem like a
relatively low figure to a top flight club, but in the basement divisions this
is an incredible amount of money to be pumping money into one aspect of a
club. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The route to success in English football really does
differentiate from division to division, severely so when you compare any
league to the Premier League. To summarise, League 1 & 2 have to be run
more like businesses, trying to improve while still desperately trying to break
even with a minimal income, where as Premier League clubs have to look to
reinvest their outrageously high income into their club in a way that allows
them to improve as a team, but breaking even is not such a high priority for
many clubs, with external investment a regular occurrence for the majority of
these sides. The Championship is probably the most difficult division for clubs
to operate in, with boardroom staff having to try their hardest to find a
successful balance between the two, or end up risking their clubs long-term
future if they are unsuccessful. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve barely scratched the surface of this topic, largely due
to clubs outside of the top flight keeping the large majority of their
financial details under wraps, making it extremely difficult to compare clubs
throughout all of the divisions in depth, but I hope I’ve been able to open
your eyes to how clubs strive for success differently throughout the English
footballing ladder. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Today, The
Football Front talks to Luke of Only One Arsenal and Arsenal RT's. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Thanks
for coming on,</span></b><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">My first question to you is, what did
you make of Arsenal’s season? Did you view it as a success or as a failure?
</b></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">It was a successful
failure. Another year without a trophy can not be called success, however after
losing both Nasri and Fabregas, and the incredibly bad start to the season, to
finish 3rd, above Tottenham, is a good achievement. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Did you find any player
making significant strides of progression last season at Arsenal?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Koscielny,
during his first season at Arsenal (10/11) you could see he had talent, but was
quite prone to mistakes. However last season he established himself as our best
CB and one of the best in the Premier League.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">There have been quite a few
break through players for Arsenal players, but has there been any Arsenal
player who has perhaps disappointed you?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Chamakh, Park
Chu Young, Ramsey and Gervinho.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Chamakh is no
doubt a good striker, but whenever he played you knew he wouldn't score and I
think he knew that as well. We saw little of Park Chu Young, He didn't really
have any time to impress or disappoint, but it would of been nice to see more
of him. Ramsey is still young; and after that horrific injury plus losing his
mentor, Gary Speed who made him the Wales captain, I think some fans expect too
much. Gervinho was frustrating to watch, great build up play, but a blind
postman could deliver more than he did, he lacked the end product, saying that
it was his first season in England and had the ACON, hopefully he will settle
more this season.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Jack Wilshere was of course
injured all of last season, should Arsenal and England fans be extra concerned
by this? Should we be worried that injuries will effect his progression not
only now, but later on in his career?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">I'm no injury
expert, but the fact Wilshere injury was only meant to be 'a few days or weeks'
at the start isn't healthy. I think Jack was thrown in at the deep end both for
Arsenal and England, I can't see him playing before the new year. Hopefully the
club will be cautious, and the FA may not call him to every England game, this
should mean once he is back, he's back for good. </span></div>

offer new options.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Cazorla offers
something we haven't had since Fabregas left, someone who can open up defences,
and is a real playmaker, he is all a marquee signing, after been touted as the
best player outside Madrid and Barcelona in Spain.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Podolski looks
set to play LW, which will offer a new option, people have unfairly judged him
on the Euro's. I hope to see him played centrally as well, as I think he would
thrive there.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">I haven't seen
much of Giroud but he looks to be a good signing, whether he was brought to
replace Van Persie, we do not know, we shall soon find out! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Seeing Arsenal have sold
Robin Van Persie, do you feel Arsenal need to be active in the market for
another striker?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Yes, I feel
Giroud could already of been brought to replace Robin, in that case we need a
replacement for Giroud, as I don't think Park or Chamakh are up to it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Finally, something that bugs
fans of other clubs, is Arsenal fans seem to hold a strong negative feeling
towards Ashley Cole and Samir Nasri, do you feel the Arsenal fans are right to
feel that strongly about it?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Let's start by
saying we are not the only team who hold strong feelings against former
players, the other fans that this 'bugs' probably hold grudges against
footballers like Arsenal fans do, so it is hypocritical to single out Arsenal
fans. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Ashley Cole was
part of the invincible’s and was a Gooner born and bread, he has gone on to be
more successful, Despite having a bitter feeling at the time, since I have
decided it is best for everyone to move on (including Cole himself.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Regarding Nasri,
it's not the move which annoys me, it's more the disrespectful comments he has
made about Arsenal since, he is clearly big headed and thinks he is above
everyone else, this was proven at the Euro's after insulting French Journo's. I
feel that every time Arsenal fans move on, Nasri will come out and say
something about Arsenal himself. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">What was your favourite
moment of the Premier League season?</span></b><span style="color: yellow;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Arsenal 5-2
Tottenham, the game changed the season for us and Tottenham. It was also
hilarious to see the cocky Tottenham fans turn up in the 'Mind the Gap'
T-Shirts, and the rest is history. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Off the field it
was nice to see fans and players of all clubs to rally round after the Fabrice
Muamba incident. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Your darkest moment of last

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ""serif"","serif";">Losing 8-2 to
Man Utd. Dark, Dark days, also during Arsenal 1- 2 Man Utd when the crowd
turned on Arsene like never before, replacing Chamerlain with Arshavin, I was
there and at the moment I just wanted to leave, most fans still trust Arsene
Wenger, I think most fans were just questioning that substitution but I am
against booing our own players all together </span></div>
