Since the summer things seem to have calmed down at Liverpool Football Club. However, with the impending transfer window of opportunity looming, are things set to take a turn?
Milan Jovanovic’s agent, Cvijan Milosevic, has recently admitted that his client could exit Liverpool in the January transfer window. The 29-year-old joined Anfield in the summer on a free transfer from Standard Liege but has struggled to make an impact, with Roy Hodgson limiting his appearances to European games. The Serbian’s situation seems less than certain and it would not surprise me if Jovanovic found his way out of Anfield come January.
Another member of the Anfield squad whose future does not seem all that clear is England International right back Glen Johnson. “Johnson has criticised manager Hodgson’s style of play, slamming Liverpool as ‘boring’ recently, and has duly been linked with a reunion with former Reds boss Rafael Benitez at Inter Milan.” Johnson’s future seems even more in doubt as rumours circulate that Hodgson is interested in recruiting right back Rod Fanni from Rennes.

Pepe Reina’s Liverpool career also looks to be on slightly shaky ground as the Spaniard has made it clear that he would be willing to leave the club if it meant success could be had elsewhere. Recently Reina made the coy remark “I have a contract with Liverpool, that’s all.” When asked about his future. Is Liverpool’s superb shot stopper on his way out of Anfield?

Finally, is it the manager himself Roy Hodgson who is set for the Anfield Chop this January. With the introduction of Damien Comolli as Director of Football Strategy at the club has Hodgson’ position at the club been weakened? “It has been speculated that Hodgson’s say in transfer deals will be diminished as a result, with the new American owners also reportedly unimpressed with the former Fulham boss’s recent acquisitions.” Could the recent goings on at Anfield move Hodgson closer to the exit door?

Chelsea fans, and some players, will be desperate to exorcise the demons of the 2008 Champions League final defeat to Manchester United when they return to the showpiece of Europe’s premier club competition this weekend. The bitter disappointment of that night remains as a constant reminder of the club’s continual quest for the trophy. A win over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena would secure the most triumphant night in the west-Londoners history, but Ruud Gullit has intimated that Roman Abramovich would be just as pleased to see his team defeated.
Andre Villas-Boas struggled to maintain control at Chelsea and after being removed from his position as coach, Roberto Di Matteo was drafted in for the interim. Only expected to ride out an extremely average season, the Italian has surpassed his remit and taken his team to FA Cup glory as well as a Champions League final. He is now one of the favourites to secure the permanent post, and there would be little opposition should the Blues lift the ultimate prize on Saturday. However, Ruud Gullit has suggested Abramovich would be equally pleased with defeat in order to select the new manager freely. He told The Sun:
“I think there is somebody already in line. But will he still want the job if Chelsea win the Champions League? Would even Jose Mourinho want to come in and replace Robbie [Di Matteo], knowing he could not top what his predecessor had achieved? If Robbie wins the Champions League, it would suddenly put a lot of pressure on the next guy. So maybe the owner doesn’t even want to win the final.”
Given the history of the Russian owner’s whimsical hiring and firing of managers there is of course cause for some pessimism. But Abramovich’s sole aim since purchasing the club has been to win the Champions League. If he has a manager who can deliver that, why would he sack him?
Despite a disappointing season, Di Matteo has a chance to complete a double. The last Blues manager to guide the team to such a feat was Carlo Ancelotti in his debut 2009/10 season. When he failed to match that trophy haul the following year he was shown the door. There will be immense pressure to appoint Di Matteo if Chelsea defeat Bayern. Win, and the 41-year-old may get a shot but his reign at would come under severe scrutiny with improvements expected early next season. Surely lifting the title would prove he is worthy of the position?
If the Stamford Bridge outfit decided not to go with the former West Bromwich Albion manager, what other options are open to them? Fabio Capello has been linked to the position but he is out of experience at club level, similarly to France coach Laurent Blanc. Chelsea hired World Cup winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari but he failed to translate his exploits at national level to the domestic stage.
Jose Mourinho has also been touted for a return to the Bridge but he has reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid and would have little to gain by taking over at his former club so soon. Pep Guardiola is without doubt the stand-out candidate, but his decision to take a sabbatical makes him unavailable for the job. So why not trust in Di Matteo. He has proven to be a hit with fans and players alike whilst also securing the goods.
Chelsea are notorious for meddling in transfers above the head of the coach. Mourinho was explicitly disappointed at the signing of Andriy Shevchenko while it was clear that Ancelotti had little to do with the capture of Fernando Torres. The club’s executives will likely be able to retain control over such areas with Di Matteo in charge rather than a higher profile coach.
Yes, defeat for Chelsea would allow Abramovich more freedom to choose the man he wants to continue the job next season, but realistically he will not be hoping to lose. That is preposterous. Failure is not an option as it would mean the Blues would play no part in the tournament next season. The Russian billionaire is in charge of the club and is not one to crumble under media pressure. He is just a few hours away from getting his hands on the trophy that he so fervently craves. If Di Matteo can supply him with that, he will no doubt be rewarded handsomely.

What do you make of Gullit’s claims? Let me know on Twitter @thwebber.
Twitter ’s influence on football is growing ever stronger. Not just can you read about what smug Michael Owen is saying, but you can get closer to footballers in an age where the fan and the player are quite a way apart. Well, now it seems like Twitter is not only giving fans the opportunity to find out more about their players, but it’s also allowing them to have an influence on teams’ transfers. I bring to you the ‘twansfer’.
Ok, that’s a stupid name and one that I won’t use again, but fans of Yeovil Town have actually had a real influence on who the club has bought by airing their views on Twitter. Young Yeovil manager Terry Skiverton asked fans to tweet him suggestions on who the club should buy in the summer, and the ideas came flooding in. A little time later and Yeovil had signed free agent Kieran Agard, a player who had been highly recommended by many fans. So, is this innovative strategy possibly one that Newcastle could use in the future?
[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’right’]
To be honest it seems pretty unlikely. Newcastle pay Graham Carr and the rest of their scouts hundreds of thousands of pounds to search out the best talent across Europe and around the world, and of course their job depends upon how good the players that they recommend are. Sign a few Cheik Tiote ’s and the scout gets a pat on the back, bring in someone like Xisco and you’re given a right rollicking.
However, with all the football that is available to watch on TV and online, there’s no questioning that a lot of fans have a great knowledge of many different leagues. Fans are no longer just going by the stats on Football Manager, we’re actually watching football from around the world, being tipped off by fellow fans and then checking them out for ourselves. Whether that means we could do the jobs of professional scouts, I’m not so sure.
It is a good idea, though, and perhaps the way to go about it would be to see who the fans recommend, then get the scouts to go and watch them for themselves. It’s nice to see a young manager showing a bit of innovation and trying ideas and for smaller clubs who can’t fork out a lot of money on scouts, it might well turn out to be a decent idea. For the likes of Newcastle and other Premier League clubs it’s perhaps a bit far-fetched, but if Alan Pardew asked you to tweet some transfer targets to him, who would you suggest?

Both teams are doing better than expected so far and, if other results go their way, Bolton could actually move in to a Champions League spot with a win.
It’s a funny old game indeed. Only a point separates the sides but Bolton are certainly on a better run with just one defeat in eight league games.
Newcastle on the other hand have been consistently inconsistent. One thing we can be sure of is seeing plenty of physical forward play. Andy Carroll, 13/2 to score first, will be feeling confident after making his England debut. Johann Elmander, 11/2 to score first, is starting to look as though he hasn’t been a complete waste of money whilst Kevin Davies (13/2) just likes jumping in to people.
Newcastle have some good results on the road so if you don’t fancy going for another draw, they’re a decent price at 13/5.
It’s been another tough week for referees. Well, one in particular. Martin Atkinson took charge of the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, and after misjudging the severity of Mario Balotelli’s challenge on Alex Song last week, he preceded to draw more unwanted attention to himself by guessing over whether a ball had crossed the goal-line, and guessing wrong. Chelsea went on to win 5-1.
The argument over goal-line technology is almost redundant now, as it seems to be on the way. The FA have confirmed that goal-line technology could be introduced to English football as soon as next season. Two systems are under testing by FIFA at the moment and by July there may be a green light to implement it domestically. Or not.
But balls over lines wasn’t the only talking point, and far from it. Ashley Young will be thanking Atkinson for at least taking a little bit of the exposure off him. Having yet again propelled himself into the air as if he had just detonated a land mine, Young was once more bending the rules for maximum profit. And yet again, fans seem to be confused over the rules of football.
There seems to be this creeping acceptance that contact in a penalty area means a penalty. Never mind that two players contacting together could mean equal blame, it seems that many think touching an attacker within 18 yards of the goal is an open invitation for a spot-kick. Commentators say it all the time. Co-commentators say it even more. Pundits repeat it. Fans regurgitate it. And it’s all utter hogwash. A penalty from a foul results from a trip, or an attempted trip (intent CAN be enough to exact punishment). Standing still and committing the heinous crime of letting a player kick your standing leg is not a foul. Except for the defender, perhaps. And it is so annoying how it has been generally accepted that players can “win” penalties nowadays, be it Ashley Young or Adam Johnson, that somehow this is just part of the game. Well it clearly is, but that doesn’t make it right. Let’s just accept racist remarks, hooliganism and poor-quality burgers if that’s the case. And let’s keep proclaiming that “raising your hands” is an excuse for the referee to send you off. Or the ball touching your hand in the penalty area is a just cause for punishment.
[ad_pod id=’unruly-2′ align=’left’]
Back at Wembley, and only a few minutes after Chelsea’s controversial goal, Spurs were back in the game, with a perfectly legitimate goal that still resulted in a slating by some for the referee. A slating due to him doing his job perfectly. As tweeter after tweeter asked why Cech wasn’t sent off, it seemed that denying a goal scoring opportunity still counts to some even when a goal is scored. Go figure. Though Mike Parry, ex of Talksport, still thinks the rule is “last man”.
The rule was brought in to stop cynical professional fouls by defenders. That’s why it does not require a red card for Peter Cech, a decision that logic would suggest would be ridiculously harsh anyway, punishing the defending team twice over. In theory Bale could have deliberately missed the shot and got a red card for Cech and a penalty into the bargain, as was debated by the commentators at the time, but surely not, as even if Bale had missed, he clearly had a goal scoring opportunity. Cech would have been similarly cheated to have been dismissed.
Martin Atkinson was back on our screens and in our thoughts once more in midweek as he hung behind the goal as one of Howard Webb’s multitude of assistants, generally overseeing things and keeping a straight face. Cue more questions from fans about what the point is of assistants behind the goal – they don’t anything, hey, they don’t even have a flag!! And as we all know, no one can function without a flag. So if this is your view of them, then please stop. I’ll leave it to a tweet by the journalist Jonathan Wilson to set the record straight.
FFS. How is this hard to grasp? Goalline officials speak to refs on mics. We have no idea how much or how little they say.
A bit harsh, but it gets the message across. Maybe we should give them flags, just to stop people whinging.
The same game brought plenty of other talking points. Ribery showed Ashley Young and co. a thing about diving, hitting the deck as if knee-capped on a minute-by-minute basis. Then there were claims for a penalty in the first half as he went down after having his shirt grabbed at. That grab however didn’t cause the fall, slight as it was, so I can’t see any problem in not awarding a penalty. But in the second half perhaps Bayern Munich had better claims for penalties after two tackles in the area. This led to the usual guff and oft-quoted assertion that the defender “got something on the ball”, as if this excuses him from any punishment whatsoever. When will commentators realise that you can touch the ball in an attempted tackle and still foul the opposing player?
The rules aren’t easy – a game built on the premise of 17 laws first drawn up in 1863, and given a major revamp in 1997, has 10,000 variations and interpretations of situations, which are tweaked on a yearly basis. Fans can’t possibly know them all, and some follow the game more than others of course, but I would expect national newspaper journalists to have a grasp of them, rather than tweeting to ask why Cech wasn’t sent off (I’m looking at you Darren Lewis). I spent so long arriving at games at the last minute I forgot the first kick had to be forward. Referees make some terrible mistakes, some are just not up to it in my opinion, but they are not helped. The ruling authorities have dragged their feet for years in helping them with the technology available, and they face a double whammy by being slated by fans and journalists alike that can’t even be bothered to check the rules.

Croatia play host to Georgia on Friday while Greece are at home to Malta a day later as the race for top spot in Euro 2012 Group F heats up.Heading into the weekend’s qualifiers, Group F shapes as one of the tournament’s most open.
Greece – the 2004 champions – top the table on 11 points, just one ahead of Croatia and Israel, with Georgia in fourth place on nine points.
Greece and Croatia have both played one game fewer than Croatia and Israel, and will be keen to claim full points from their home matches this weekend to put some breathing space between themselves and those chasing.
Croatia will be hoping for more good form from Spurs’ midfielder Niko Kranjcar, who has four goals in the campaign so far.
Israel journey to Latvia on Saturday in the group’s other match.
Group B is also a competitive one, with Slovakia, Russia and the Republic of Ireland deadlocked on 10 points in a three-way tie for top spot.
All six teams in the group are in action on Saturday, with Russia hosting Armenia in St Petersburg, Slovakia at home to Andorra and Ireland doing battle with Macedonia in Skopje.
Robbie Keane needs just one more international goal to reach the 50 mark for Giovanni Trapattoni’s Ireland, while Slovakia are missing key quartet Vladimír Weiss, Marek Sapara, Miroslav Stoch and goalkeeper Jan Mucha.
Group A takes centre stage on Friday, with Germany holding a five-point lead on top of the table.
The battle for second is on in earnest, with Belgium a point clear of Turkey and three ahead of Austria.
Belgium host Turkey in Brussels as Austria face the visiting Germans in Vienna. Group A’s other match sees Kazakhstan play host to Azerbaijan.
New Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin misses out for Turkey with a knee injury. Genk goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, 19, will be between the posts for Belgium, while captain Thomas Vermaelen is back after a long injury layoff.
In Group C, Italy can build on their five-point buffer at the top of the table when they take on Estonia at home on Friday, with second-placed Slovenia journeying to the Faroe Islands.
Romania face Bosnia and Herzegovina in Group D, as Belarus welcome the group’s leaders France in the other match.
The Netherlands have a nine-point lead in Group F, but second-placed Sweden can bridge the gap when they visit Moldova and San Marino will try to get off the bottom when they welcome Finland.
Keeping striker Mikael Forssell quiet will be key for San Marino, with the Hannover forward boasting five goals to his name in Finland’s qualifying campaign.
In Group I, Lithuania visit bottom-placed Liechtenstein looking to keep their slim hopes of second place alive, in a group dominated by Spain and the Czech Republic.
On Saturday, Group G sees England play Switzerland at Wembley as they look to break their deadlock on top of the table with Montenegro, with both sides possessing 10 points from their four games.
They will have to it without the suspended Wayne Rooney, however, and Montenegro can keep the pressure firmly on England with a win from their home clash with Bulgaria.
Norway can go a long way towards winning Group H when they travel to Lisbon to do battle with Portugal.
The Scandinavian nation tops the group on 10 points, three ahead of Portugal, with both sides level on goal difference.
Crucially, captain Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Portugal’s squad after missing friendlies against Chile and Finland in March.
Denmark are also in the mix on seven points, and they face a difficult trip to Reykjavik where they will do battle with bottom-placed Iceland.
‘While Wayne Rooney is desperate to see new faces, Sir Alex Ferguson has a new golden age knocking on the first team door that could in fact save Manchester United millions in the years to come.’
Do Manchester United fans have faith that the young stars on display against Wolves on Tuesday are good enough to be seen as the new generation. After watching the game on Tuesday, it is obvious Manchester United have some very impressive youngsters but can they break into the first team squad in the future?
The Carling Cup tie against Wolves provided Manchester United fans with another glimpse of what the future holds at Old Trafford. In the main, the youngsters did well against an aggressive and strong Wolves outfit. The first half was a dour affair – Wolves didn’t commit too many men forward whilst United looked off the pace. That isn’t surprising though. What sceptics of this United squad have said is that the team lacked imagination and penetration. There are no reserve fixtures in October for the players. United fielded a squad that hadn’t really played competitive action for a month, so of course it was going to take time for the players to gel and get into the game. Without a doubt the game improved in the second half, and both Manchester United and Wolves were involved in a great second half cup tie.
What are Manchester United’s priories. Do they need to go out and buy top quality players or would the fans prefer to see Raphael, Chris Smalling, Federico Macheda and Gabriel Obertan given their chance in the first team. When Manchester United lost 3-1 to Aston Villa at the start of the 1995/1996 season, not too many people were signing the praises of the youngsters that have gone on to provide the club with so much success. The youngsters need to be given time to gel with one another and fans have to accept with so many youngsters in one team the players are likely to make mistakes. Without a doubt though, they will improve and some could force their way into Manchester United’s first team squad over the next couple of years.

The question is are some of the players good enough for the Manchester United squad, either now or in the future. For example, Gabriel Obertan hasn’t shown what he can do when given his chance in the team. He was described as the unpolished gem of French football when he arrived – a tag that he hasn’t lived up to. Gabriel Obertan does not have the quality to succeed at Manchester United and should be sold at the earliest opportunity. Federico Macheda is in the same kind of position. Without doubt the Italian has serious potential but he hasn’t ever shown this when given the chance to start a game. Will Macheda ever be able to live up to the goal against Aston Villa? That is what he is always going to be compared against. The problem is when does potential have to turn into something more serious in the youngsters. If the likes of Raphael, Gibson and Macheda were going to make it at Manchester United, wouldn’t they have made the step to commanding a first team place by now. For example, United have issues at right back. It doesn’t seem that Sir Alex Ferguson trusts Raphael to play in this position week in week out.
The youngsters shouldn’t be judged unfairly by the game against Wolves. Ben Amos looked solid in goal, Chris Smalling showed the signs of a very decent defender and Bebe, with a bit of tweaking could be a great addition to the Manchester United squad. The fans shouldn’t be overly worried by what they did or did not see. The game lacked atmosphere, and the players were rusty due the lack of reserve team action in October.
Are United fans torn between wanting to see a new generation of youngsters come through and be as successful as the last, and wanting too see big name signings coming to Old Trafford. In all fairness one will be at the expense of the other. If you look at Manchester United’s bench at the moment, it doesn’t stand up to Arsenal’s, Manchester City’s or Tottenham’s. Manchester United need to sign big players for sure, but somehow need to keep developing the talent in the ranks. United have a great deal of talent away on loan at the moment, something that shouldn’t be forgotten. Sir Alex Ferguson needs to retain a balance between bringing these potential stars through and purchasing talent. This has to be the future of Manchester United. Hopefully the fans will be happy with the results.

Fancy playing your mates every week in a Premium Fantasy Football game?
A goal in injury time rescued a point for Tottenham, as they drew with Stoke 1-1 at White Hart Lane on Wednesday night.
Cameron Jerome had put the Potters into the lead after 75 minutes, and with the clock ticking down it looked like it would be four defeats in a row for Harry Redknapp’s men.
However a last-gasp Rafael van der Vaart strike ensured that spoils were shared.
Redknapp was pleased to get a draw considering the circumstances, and admitted that it is difficult to pinpoint just why his side have lost their way slightly.
“Stoke are never an easy team to beat,” Redknapp told Sky Sports.
“They were solid and you know I said before the game, we had to be careful from set-plays and we got punished from a set-play.
“I really couldn’t see us scoring because we huffed and puffed and hit the bar with Gareth (Bale), but I was thankful in the end with that goal.
“I mean, we all want three points at home but maybe a point will be important at the end of the day but we just seemed to have lost our way a bit.
“We’re not playing with quite the same fluency that we were a few weeks ago. It’s difficult to put your finger on it really but we just don’t seem to be shifting the ball around like we did.
“One or two of us look a little bit off the pace, a little bit jaded but you know we go to Chelsea on Saturday for a big game, so we have to pick ourselves up again and we have to go there and try and get a result.
“They’ve got to be more patient. They get carried away with the crowd at times and started playing from back to front to quick. We’re a footballing team that plays and people have got to be patient. They can’t worry about the crowd being inpatient because we had lots of passes.

“You can’t lump the ball forward against Stoke because they have two centre-halves who are good in the air. We had to just be patient. With 30 minutes to go, we just panicked a bit and started playing too quick,” he concluded.
Spurs drop to fourth place due to Arsenal’s win, and with the gap between them and Chelsea five points, the trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday becomes all the more important.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is unconcerned that the club will struggle to keep hold of players at the end of the season.Redknapp steered Spurs to the quarter-final stage in Europe this season before being edged out by Barcelona and he is confident the club can build on that success rather than having players picked off by other clubs.
Although they have missed out on the top four finish they needed to qualify for the Champions League again, Redknapp’s men travel to fifth-placed Liverpool knowing a win could put them in line for a Europa League place next season.
“I don’t think it will be hard to keep hold of our players. We never had Champions League football before,” he said.
“Players have not signed for us because we’re in the Champions League. If people want to leave it’s up to them, we can find other players. There are plenty of other players about.”
“It has been a fantastic season, one of the best Tottenham seasons since I don’t know when.”
“We were in the last eight of the Champions League and were pushing to finish in the top four all year.”
“We have done better this year than last. We beat teams like Inter Milan and AC Milan in the Champions League. It has been a great run.”
“If we finish fifth, for me it would be a better season than last year. It’s tough to get into that top four and is getting tougher.”
“We need to improve a little bit again if we want to keep pushing and that’s the challenge for next season.”
Sunday’s hosts Liverpool have been resurgent since Kenny Dalglish took charge in February and Redknapp said they will be a force to be reckoned with next season.
“Kenny has done a great job since he’s taken over. He’s a top man, a different class, a proper legend of the game,” he said.
“Liverpool fans love him; he’s Liverpool through and through. It’s a great club with a great tradition and I’m very pleased to see Kenny back in charge there.”
“Next season Liverpool will be stronger again.”
“Suarez has done great and there’s Carroll up front too.”
“Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are the backbone of the team and they have a fantastic keeper. They have the nucleus of a very strong team.”
Liverpool will be without defender Fabio Aurelio (thigh), Daniel Agger (thigh), Gerrard (groin) and forward Milan Jovanovic (knee).
While Tom Cleverley is making a name for himself on the pitch, off it he isn’t doing too badly either having pulled himself a blonde model that is certainly up there in the current Wag Arena within the Premier League.
The Manchester United starlet is highly thought of at Old Trafford, with many suggesting he destined for the very top in the years to come. There’s nothing to suggest that Miss O’Hara will remain with Cleverley as he steps up week in, week out within the Premier League, however I am sure most United fans will agree that she represents a good place to start.
