To have a great connection, a great link between the manager and the club, for sure you have a future much better than the present.” (PA Media)

Hull axe Arveladze

The Newcastle head coach, Eddie Howe, just isn’t but able to step into Gareth Southgate’s sneakers ought to he lose his job as England manager. Southgate is with out a win in six aggressive video games after a disappointing Nations League marketing campaign which noticed his aspect condemned to relegation.

Howe was swiftly put in because the bookmakers’ favorite to switch the England boss ought to this winter’s World Cup go badly for him and is at present vying with new Chelsea head coach Graham Potter on the high of the percentages checklist.

However, requested in regards to the hypothesis at his pre-match press convention on Friday, the 44-year-old stated: “Gareth has done an incredible job, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I have been lucky enough to go in and see him work and I have a lot of time for him and Steve Holland. They have been amazing for England. You have to remember where England were before he took over and what he has done for the country.

“I never say never, never say no it won’t be something I am interested in. But in the short term, it is not on my radar at all. It is all Newcastle and trying to make this team better. I have always said I love the day to day coaching, love being with the players on the training ground, international football you get that taken away for long periods. At this moment in my life, that is not something I want to do.” (PA Media)

“North London derbies are always a stressful affair as no other game hurts more than when losing this one,” feedback zTom. “Both teams are relatively similar in strength these days too. Even if I’m really enjoying the step up in level we’re seeing this season for the Gunners, this Spurs team excels at exactly the strategy we struggle to handle the most: soaking up pressure when we dominate play for extended periods then hit back with a lightning-fast counterattack.”

“It’ll be interesting to see how Conte sets up for Spurs,” says Hardinho10. “I think we know how Arteta will approach the game, with the same system that’s got them to where they currently are, but I suspect Spurs might go to a three in midfield, especially given rumours of Kulusevski being injured, bringing Bissouma in to support Højbjerg and Bentancur with Son and Kane as a front two.”

Watford’s new manager Slaven Bilic has been having a natter with the media and saying all the correct issues. The Tenth-placed Hornets journey to Stoke for a 12pm kick-off within the Championship on Sunday.

“I am very optimistic and positive … I put my name on a ‘world map of coaches’ [after taking a break from coaching] and Watford was there.

“Stability, of course [is the aim] … Life is great, but big decisions, they’ve got to be clear … this club has very clear ambitions and directions and aims and that is to go back to the Premier League … Of course, I would love it if if this was the first day of the pre-season. But it isn’t. So what? You can’t get everything.”

I additionally caught one other snippet of his press convention, when Bilic stated: “They are not hiring managers to sack them. They want success. They [the owners] don’t want to sack me … they want me to do good.”

Which is reassuring.

There’s going to be a lunchtime rush of gold-standard press convention quotes: Arteta, Ten Hag, Guardiola and Klopp will all be having their much-loved chats with the football media between 1pm and 2pm.

In final evening’s WSL motion, Hanna Bennison’s stoppage-time free-kick grabbed a dramatic 1-0 win for Everton towards Leicester … and right here’s the report:

The Everton manager Frank Lampard stated a number of the criticism directed in the direction of England head coach Gareth Southgate has been harsh and known as on followers to throw their help behind the workforce within the build-up to the World Cup.

England had been relegated from the Nations League high tier this month after a six-match winless run, with Southgate criticised for his or her performances.

“I think it’s in some parts harsh. And when I say some parts, it’s something that we all sign up to in our own ways, and the England job is right up there for the pressure,” Lampard stated earlier than Everton’s league journey to Southampton.

“I’m not going to sit here and say that people can’t criticise. I think if things are constructive and people have opinions, great. But once this World Cup comes in and, in the build-up to it, it’ll be great if everyone can really get behind the team and Gareth.”

Much of the criticism directed in the direction of Southgate has targeted on his “cautious” method.

“I remember the fantastic French team that won the last World Cup without really playing beautiful football,” stated Lampard. “[In] modern-day football, there are lots of different styles and little ways to win a game. I think it would be absolutely Gareth’s decision about how to approach an Iran or USA compared to how they approach another type of team further into the competition if we get there.” (Reuters)

“I would like to just say a word on the retirement of Mikel John Obi, a Chelsea stalwart for so many years,” feedback Quicknstraight. “One of my favourite Chelsea players and outrageously underrated, even by many Chelsea fans. His performance in Munich, when he was the easily best Chelsea player on the pitch over 120 minutes, and arguably the best player on the pitch on either side, was outstanding. His breaking up of Munich possession and calm retention of possession were key to us being in a position where Drogba’s header was enough to get to extra time and penalties.

“He was an absolute rock in a deeper CM role, when Mourinho switched him further back. Incredibly strong, very hard to knock off the ball, and invariably found a teammate with his sensible passing.”

Can France defend their World Cup title in Qatar? It isn’t wanting very possible, writes Raphaël Jucobin:

A remark from BTL, as we early adopters of the web wish to name it:

“Three cracking Premier League derbies,” says trinder18. “It’s really hard to call any of them with any confidence. City have won only two of the last eight home derbies, though the most recent was a 4-1 rinsing. I’m going for two draws and an Arsenal win.”

Next up – right here is Louise Taylor with some evaluation of Newcastle: detached outcomes to begin the season, however no strain on Eddie Howe.

“In previous seasons, Newcastle’s collection of a modest eight points from the campaign’s first seven games would have prompted concern among fans. This time things are very different.”
