EPL: Ange Postecoglou was turned on by his own fans with a video emerging of an ugly incident following his side's defeat.
Premier League 2024: Talking Points , analysis, results, Arne Slot, Liverpool , Ange Postecoglou, Spurs, Arsenal, Manchester City, title race , news, injuries, signings The Premier League is just over a quarter of the way through the 2024/25 season, and it’s been a mixed bag so far.
The defeat resulted in ugly scenes post-match, with Postecoglou stopping in the tunnel after a fan was said to have yelled at him, however it’s unclear what was said. He also labelled his team “passive”, an interesting word considering the high line press that’s instilled by the manager, which sees his players constantly on the move.
Spurs are yet to win two games in-a-row in the Premier League, and their season has been a true rollercoaster. Tottenham fans will be desperate to finish in the Champions League placings, but their next run of five games will be a big test. Arsenal are without a win in their last four Premier League games, dating back to a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
They trailed eventual premiers City by only three points. This season they’re behind current leaders Liverpool by nine, a margin that could be considered a mountain too high. “It’s not as simple as him being fit and playing 90 minutes but he gives confidence to everyone else.” But not for Arne Slot, who has begun life at Liverpool with a bang and the Dutch manager is priming his side for a title charge in his first season in Merseyside.
So what’s the secret? Because Manchester United will be desperate for their new manager to have even half the success Slot’s had at Anfield so early in his tenure. “In general, I think the things Jurgen likes his team to do, and I like my team to do, is press really high. Sometimes in different formations, but the idea is the same - and we both like to score goals.”
But instead, Slot’s used what he had at his disposal and Erik Ten Hag could potentially take some notes. But what’s more is it’s the first time in the history of Guardiola’s career he’s lost four games on the trot. That’s quite staggering. But City’s problems could simply come down to injuries, and the sheer amount of football they’ve played so far this year.
So with a host of big names nearing a return, City should be able to turn their current mess around. However, they’ve now got a five-point buffer to claw back on current ladder leaders Liverpool.Chelsea have been a peculiar outfit for a number of years now, purchasing a host of players for big money whilst not being able to deliver.
Instead of chopping and changing, and attempting to keep everyone happy, he’s stuck to his guns and players like Moises Caicedo, Levi Colwill, Nicolas Jackson and Wesley Fofana. “That’s exactly what the doctor ordered for Chelsea at this moment of time so it’s been impressive so far, the stability he’s brought, it’s exactly what Chelsea needed.”
“Now the players that are the strong core of this team, I think now are going to develop without that problem.” For goalkeeper Andre Onana, he believes his squad have what it takes to adapt to Amorim’s high intensity style of play. So it’s fair to say Amorim will be implementing his tried and tested game plan, with Bruno Fernandes a perfect man to find gaps as his key No.10.
However, the incoming coach has poured cold water on any moves in January for Sporting players, despite also hinting Pedro Goncalves could be another target.
