Is Watford"s Abdoulaye Doucouré good enough for Top six teams in EPL A tactical profile of Abdoulaye Doucoure Abdoulaye Doucouré is one of the more fascinating players going into the 2018–19 PL season. That might seem weird, given that he played on a Watford side that finished 14th last season with a -20 goal differential. As the big six clubs in the Premier League have separated from everybody else, it’s almost become a badge of honor if players are thought by the general public as the best player not plying their trade at a bigger side. From Riyad Mahrez (now at Manchester City) to Wilfied Zaha (linked with Tottenham among others) to Pascal Gross, there were several candidates that emerged last season. Doucoure was included on that list. His scoring contribution of 10 combined non-penalty goals and assists along with general capabilities in disrupting play in the middle third made him one of the more hot properties come the end of the season. There have been reports ...

Bernd Leno will provide safe hand between the sticks while  Lichtsteinern and  Sokratis Papostoupol...

Chelsea lose on Alexsandr Golovin Monaco  have announced the signing of  CSKA Moscow  midfielder  Aleksandr Golovin  despite interest from the Premier League. Golovin, 22, played an essential role in the World Cup as Russia reached the quarter-finals, beating 2010-winnners Spain along the way. Naturally his exploits in the quadrennial tournament alerted some of the continent’s elite clubs, and Chelsea were believed to be frontrunners to secure the services of the Siberian footballer. However, the Kaltan-born midfielder has now ended his six-year association in the Russian capital and will move to the French Riviera on a five-year contract, keeping him at the Stade Louis II until June 2023. Golovin has signed for an undisclosed fee, though reports suggest the figure is in the region of £20m. Vadim Vasilyev – AS Monaco Vice President and Chief Executive Officer – told the club’s  official website  that his performances in the Wo...

Harry Maguire - Tactical Profile Will he solve United's Defensive problems? Its no secret now that Manchester United want England world cup star and Leicester city defender Harry Maguire to boost their lack luster defence which probably costed them atleast the FA cup. Jose Mourinho is determined to make Maguire his fourth signing of the summer after midfielder Fred, right back Diogo Dalot and goalkeeper Lee Grant and has told the club’s executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, he wants a deal completed before the close of the transfer window on August 9. But Leicester, who travel to Old Trafford for the opening match of the new Premier League season a day after the window closes, are thought to be reluctant to sell Maguire and are still hoping to persuade the 25-year-old to sign a lucrative new contract. The 2016 Premier League champions are loathe to lose another big player following Riyad Mahrez’s £60 million move to Manchester City just over a...

Is Xherdan Shaqiri To Liverpool A Good Signing? Can Shaqiri further strengthen Livepool's attack? When you nail as many transfers as Liverpool have done in the last few years, anything that appears less than obviously stellar raises eyebrows. If Liverpool are so smart and analytically minded, then what do they see in a just relegated Xherdan Shaqiri? The first thing to note is that this is quite obviously a percentage play depth signing. The price of around £13.75 million is cheap by comparison to most in today’s market and for that you’re getting a vastly experienced international player who is amazingly still just 26 years old. The obvious critique towards Shaqiri is his shot selection: Shaqiri scored 8 goals and assisted another 7 last season.5 out of his 8 goals came from outside the box. It looks good at first,but Shaqiri attempted 44 shots for those 4 goals,as one of those goals came from direct free kick. Let us look at the stat map of Shaqiri ...
