Liverpool should secure Suarez return

Liverpool could complete a sensational return this summer by bringing former striker Luis Suarez back to Anfield.

According to reports in Spain, Jurgen Klopp wants to bring an experienced forward to the club in the summer to shoulder the goalscoring burden and he sees the Uruguayan as a perfect candidate.

Whilst his return would be exhilarating from a romanticised viewpoint, he still has plenty to offer the Merseysiders as they aim to recover from what has been a horrendous title defence throughout 2020/21.

Despite being 34 years of age, Suarez still appears to be at the top of his game having scored 19 goals in all competitions for Atletico Madrid this season as Los Rojiblancos continue to challenge for the La Liga crown.

That eye for goal this season would rank him second in the Reds’ squad, only behind Mo Salah, who has notched 25 of his own in all competitions.

As a matter fact, his goalscoring does not appear to have slowed down with age. He has scored an eye-watering 79 goals after his 30th birthday.

Having only netted 48 goals in the Premier League this season, fewer than all of Manchester City, Manchester United, Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur, Klopp could certainly do with that goal-scoring knack to establish the Merseyside club at the top of the table once again.

Suarez’s attitude would also be hugely useful. Former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers previously suggested that the striker “gives everything” for his success, and that motivation has certainly been justified with the Uruguayan lifting the UEFA Champions League, four La Ligas and four Copas del Rey.

Of course, should Suarez bring his prolific and clinical nature to Anfield, he would be highly likely to add to the 82 goals he plundered in a stunning first spell at the club before departing for Barcelona, as well as help the Reds again challenge for major honours.

Rated at just £13.5m, a return for Suarez would be a sensational one for Liverpool but one that they should definitely facilitate. Suarez and Mo Salah could score plenty of goals between them if the former Red made a return to Anfield.

Forget Kalvin: Bielsa should play Leeds’ Shackleton

After Kalvin Phillips was ruled out with a calf problem against Arsenal in the Premier League last week, Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa turned towards young starlet Jamie Shackleton as one of the players to be thrown into the starting line-up.

The 21-year-old started the game at the Emirates in an unfamiliar role at right-back, before being asked to play in central midfield in the clash against Wolves.

Though both games ended in a Leeds defeat, there were promising signs from Shackleton, with Leeds Live declaring that his passing against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side showed decision-making and maturity beyond his years as he operated in a more no.6 role.

But with Bielsa confirming that Phillips is once again set to miss another Whites game, this time at home to Southampton on Tuesday night, the Leeds boss may be more inclined to unleash Shackleton as a more box-to-box presence.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game against the Saints tonight, Bielsa said: “I believe in Shackleton as an important alternative for Leeds United. He’s in a similar process to that of Pascal (Struijk).

“The only thing is that Pascal has a continuity that Shackleton hasn’t been able to have. I conisder him a player that I can trust and I’m satisfied with what he has brought to the team. Apart from that, he is a very serious player, very applied and very conscious of what is needed to play at this level.”

Against Wolves, it was Mateusz Klich operating in that box-to-box role, but Shackleton’s youthful energy and dynamism could be exactly what is needed to pose the opposition a slightly different threat than the ones they’ve faced over the past couple of games.

Speaking after his cameo in that 5-0 win over West Brom earlier this season, the Leeds boss said of the 21-year-old: “Good organisation, energetic, he’s quick, he can surprise opponents, plays in a position which has many varieties as a box-to-box midfielder.”

And, after he produced an energetic display against Aston Villa, Leeds Live’s Beren Cross wrote: “Settled in so quickly and linked up the play between midfield and attack beautifully. So important for his confidence and visualising himself in this team going forward. Tireless running and helped Klich win that midfield battle with McGinn and Barkley.”

Allowing him more licence to roam and join up with Leeds’ attacks may be the third successive different role that Shackleton has been used in over the past week or so, but it could be the key to getting the best out of him, and in turn change the Whites’ fortunes.

Bielsa desperately needs something to click in Phillips’ absence, and giving Shackleton the chance to break free from his more defensive-minded shackles and keeping things simple against Wolves, could be a real game-changer for tonight.

Man Utd hit by huge injury blow before Chelsea clash

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is set to miss the Premier League clash with Chelsea this afternoon with a knock.

McTominay limped off during United’s 4-0 Europa League win over Real Sociedad, adding to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s ever-growing injury list.

What’s the word?

Solskjaer has subsequently confirmed that McTominay remains sidelined with a minor knock and will once again play no part in United’s trip to Chelsea in what will be a massive injury blow for the Red Devils, having missed the goalless draw with Sociedad at Old Trafford.

However, it wasn’t all bad news, as Solskjaer expects Donny van de Beek to back in time for their trip to face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

Speaking in his post-match press conference after the game against Real Sociedad, Solskjaer said: “Donny trained today and he felt okay after training so hopefully [there is] no reaction.”

“So he should be with us. It was just a tweak [for Dan]. I need to give him until Saturday or even Sunday so, hopefully, he can shake it off, but I’m not sure.

“They [Pogba and McTominay] are out. They’ve not trained, Edinson hasn’t trained yet, so I wouldn’t be too optimistic about that, but miracles can happen.”

Significant blow for Solskjaer

Given that Solskjaer previously expressed hope that McTominay could be available to play against the Blues, he may have been left feeling a little aggrieved that he will be without a player who has been tipped as the next captain to take over from Harry Maguire.

Of course, with McTominay nursing a lingering issue, it’s easy to understand why the the club legend is being so cautious, as it’s unlikely he will want to aggravate the existing problem in the midst of a busy schedule.

But that will be no small consolation to the Norwegian manager, who will once again be without one of his key men when the Red Devils make the trip to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

United have drawn one and lost one of the last three games that McTominay has missed, while Gary Neville has stressed the importance of the Scottish international.

He said: “He is emerging and growing.

“He’s someone Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] can rely upon in the big games with Fred and Fernandes in front of them. Then Pogba, Matic and Van de Beek fit in around that.”

The 24-year-old – who is currently valued at £22.5m via Transfermarkt – has been one of the standout performers under Solskjaer, making over 80 appearances across all competitions for the manager, and has continued to grow and develop as a player under his guidance. He has scored seven goals, recording a further assist, across 32 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

Give United’s mounting injury crisis in the midfield, the ongoing situation will be giving Solskjaer a major headache. There’s no doubt the United boss will be concerned about how he is going to cope without the services of one of his star midfielders.

Danny Ings ruled out of Leicester clash

Southampton have been dealt a huge blow ahead of their game against Leicester City on Saturday, as Danny Ings has been ruled out after testing positive for the current viral outbreak.

Ralph Hasenhuttl confirmed in his pre-match conference on Thursday that the England international would be forced to sit out the game against the Foxes after a positive test, as he will now have to self-isolate due to the government’s guidelines.

This comes as a big blow for the Austrian as he saw his side fail to score in three games over the Christmas period that Ings missed through injury before the former Liverpool man returned to score the winner against his old side in the Saints’ last Premier League fixture.

It is an important game against Brendan Rodgers’ side on Saturday evening, with both sides having enjoyed an impressive start to the season which sees them challenging for a top-four spot, so to have your top scorer missing is obviously a huge blow for the South Coast club.

So far this season, the 28-year-old has managed seven goals and three assists in just 13 top-flight appearances for Southampton, averaging a superb 7.17 rating.

The Englishman is picking up where he left off last season, where he finished as the second joint-top scorer in the Premier League, despite a disjointed season so far where injuries, and now the current viral outbreak, have ruled him out of matches.

Last season, Eddie Howe was full of praise for the striker, saying:

“The most impressive thing about Danny is, of course, he’s an outstanding player.”

“Technically he’s very good, plays with real intelligence and the way he’s come back from his disappointments, the injury setbacks he’s had, the way he’s fought back and kept his mental strength has been hugely impressive.”

Hasenhuttl will surely be frustrated to have his top goalscorer missing for the game against Leicester and he now faces a dilemma on who to select up front alongside Che Adams, who should return after missing the game against Liverpool with a concussion.

And, in other news… Southampton signing England U21 gem would cast doubt over the future of Hasenhuttl favourite

Ross Wilson must sanction Rangers swoop for Marijan Cabraja as a Barisic alternative

Glasgow Rangers may have brought in backup for Borna Barisic in the shape of Calvin Bassey, but they may well have another long-term replacement lined up for a future move to Ibrox if recent reports are to be believed.

What’s the story?

According to The Daily Record, Rangers are interested in signing Croatian left-back Marijan Cabraja from Gorica.

It’s claimed that the 54-time Scottish champions are closely monitoring his situation, with his agent Miroslav Bicanic adding that there is interest from Italy, Poland, Russia and the United States as well as from the Ibrox outfit.

Cabraja said: “It is true that Rangers are following me, contact has been established but it all depends on how the situation with Borna Barisic develops.

“I don’t believe that the Scots will pay as much as Gorica are asking for, but let’s leave that aside now, the only thing that matters to me is how we will play in Split on Sunday.”

Ross Wilson would be wise to secure his services as not only would the former Croatia U21 international be able to provide cover and competition for his fellow countryman and he’d also add an alternative threat in attack

Papac 2.0?

Ibrox has borne witness to some of the best full-backs ever to grace the Scottish game, but that hasn’t always been the case.

For every Arthur Newman, there’s an Agnestis Argyriou, although it looks like the club could land an absolute bargain in the 23-year-old defender.

Standing at 5 foot 9 inches, Cabraja is cut from a similar cloth to former Rangers left-back Sasa Papac, who spent six years with the Govan-based Glaswegian giants.

The Bosnian defensive stalwart, who stands slightly taller at 1.85m tall, was also known for his unflappable style of play, having scored six goals and supplied 14 assists in all competitions for the club, via Transfermarkt.

In 13 appearances in the HNL, the Pula-born left-back has bagged one goal and two assists in total, whilst he has played in every minute of every single game so far this season.

This kind of calm presence and confidence on the ball would be most welcome in Glasgow as the Gers crashed out of the League Cup after Calvin Bassey conceded a sloppy penalty.

To sign a player with Cabraja’s obvious potential, whose market value is estimated at as little as £585,000, to provide injury cover for Barisic, could be a shrewd bit of business.

Cruzeiro apresenta volante Marciel e apoiador Bruno Nazário

MatériaMais Notícias

O volante Marciel e o apoiador Bruno Nazário foram apresentados pelo Cruzeiro na tarde desta segunda-feira, na Toca da Raposa II. Ambos foram emprestados ao clube mineiro, chegaram com o valor dos seus respectivos direitos econômicos fixado e serão opções para o técnico Deivid armar o meio de campo celeste.

Marciel, de 20 anos, foi emprestado pelo Corinthians até o fim deste ano na negociação que levou Willians para o Alvinegro. Ele garantiu que gosta de auxiliar o setor de criação.

– Estou muito feliz de estar aqui, um pouco nervoso (risos). Sou segundo volante, meu estilo de jogo é um pouco de marcação, gosto de dar arrancadas. E gosto de tocar bola, fazendo triangulação com os companheiros. Gostava de ver o Riquelme jogando, me inspiro nele. Estou feliz de estar aqui e farei meu trabalho – disse Marciel.

Campeão da Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior e do Brasileirão do ano passado pelo Corinthians, Marciel ainda exaltou ter sido bem recebido pelo torcedor cruzeirense:

– Ganhei um carinho da torcida do Corinthians, espero ganhar da torcida do Cruzeiro. Pressão sempre tem. Mas a gente tem é que mostrar dentro de campo. Cruzeiro sempre briga por títulos. Temos que mostrar nosso futebol e ser campeão. O ultimo clube bicampeão brasileiro.

Já Bruno Nazário, também de 20 anos, foi cedido pelo Hoffenhein, da Alemanha, até o fim de junho do ano que vem. Ele destacou quais são as suas características antes de elogiar a torcida do Cruzeiro.

– Sou um meia-armador. Gosto de dar assistência. Gosto de partir para frente. Mais a vontade gosto de jogar centralizado. Mas depende do jogo também, se me colocar na ponta, partindo para cima, está bom também. Sou feliz dentro de campo e hoje estou no time maior do Brasil. A primeira vez que fui na Toca I já vi a torcida cantando. Nenhum clube faz isso. Fiquei muito feliz de vir para cá. Só tenho a agradecer essa torcida maravilhosa e sei o tamanho dela.

Além de Marciel e Nazário, o Cruzeiro contratou outros cinco jogadores: o volante Federico Gino, os apoiadores Sánchez Miño e Matías Pisano e os atacantes Rafael Silva e Douglas Coutinho. O volante argentino Lucas Romero, doVélez Sarsfield, está próximo de ingressar em tal lista.

Crystal Palace should reward Vicente Guaita with a new contract

Not a week goes by without Wilfried Zaha being linked with the Selhurst Park exit, but that doesn’t mean that Steve Parish should forget about Vicente Guaita.

The veteran goalkeeper’s contract with Crystal Palace is set to expire at the end of the season and his recent heroics have warranted a new deal.

Guaita was beaten from 25 yards out after Harry Kane gave Tottenham Hotspur the lead with a long-range effort which he should have saved comfortably.

But, following Wayne Hennessey’s injury and after Jack Butland tested positive for Coronavirus, the 30-year-old should be allowed a margin for error. After all, what choice does Roy Hodgson have anyway?

And Guaita atoned for his early mistake as he moved to deny Eric Dier in stoppage time with an incredible one-handed save to ensure Palace leapfrogged Newcastle and Wolves into 11th place in the Premier League.

It’s hard to deny the fact that it would be a real shame to see him leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season, as he has become such a reliable asset for Hodgson, which is more than can be said for Nathaniel Clyne, who struggled to get into the game on Sunday.

Palace have several players who are out of contract at the end of the current campaign, including former Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, but Parish must tie Guaita down to a new deal.

Valued at £3.6m via Transfermarkt, in 71 appearances for Palace, the Spaniard stopper has saved 21 clean sheets and conceded just 85 goals in all competitions. Not bad, not bad at all.

Hennessey has never really shown that he can be relied upon, but Guaita has continued to prove his worth time and time again at Selhurst Park. Sunday night was no different. Parish must secure his future at all costs or face serious consequences.

AND in other news, Crystal Palace defender Nathaniel Clyne was a total liability vs Spurs…

Leeds: Bielsa must axe Gjanni Alioski for Chelsea trip

Leeds United make the trip south later this evening as they look to build on their encouraging recent form.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side were unlucky to only draw 0-0 with ten-man Arsenal before dispatching Everton for three points last weekend, and across both matches, the Whites totalled a whopping 48 shots.

Now they head to west London to face third-placed Chelsea, who have a plethora of attacking talent at their disposal.

But this is what you get with the Premier League – some of the very best players to currently grace the game, and Bielsa will need to be at his best tactically to find a way past the division’s best attack. No team has scored more goals than the Blues.

It gives the Argentine plenty to ponder, especially in terms of defensive selection as he will need his men at their very best to compete with the likes of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz and even both Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount.

Indeed, this encounter could be one or lost out wide and if you were Frank Lampard, you’d surely be targeting Gjanni Alioski despite his impressive form as of late.

Only two teams have conceded more goals than the Yorkshiremen this term, so it would be wise to consider an actual left-back instead of the attack-minded 28-year-old.

In the past, Alioski has often been dubbed a “liability” and a “weak link” by the Elland Road faithful, as seen here, which is a train of thought backed up by former Leeds striker Noel Whelan, who told Football Insider last season:

“His defending at time is very lacking in quality, he can be a liability. Alioski is a 100 per center who will run all day but when it comes to defending, he goes to ground and sells himself too often.”

Ziyech has already contributed to four goals in four starts in the English top-flight this season, building on his 48 goals and 82 assists across four seasons at Ajax.

Across his career, the North Macedonian international has averaged 1.2 fouls per game and has picked up more yellow cards at Leeds (25) than goals (20), so if he’s not careful the Chelsea sensation could devour him clean tonight.

Bielsa is better off trusting Stuart Dallas over the £55k-per-week livewire in the role. A ruthless but necessary call.

AND in other news, Leeds dodged a massive bullet in mooted Bielsa £20m target once dubbed “unplayable”…
