Perry Groves has admitted that Dominik Szoboszlai’s passing has caught everyone by surprise, with the Liverpool midfielder taking the Premier League by storm. Speaking on TalkSport, the pundit claimed that fans and experts have been caught off-guard by Szoboszlai’s passing range since moving to Anfield this summer. The 22-year-old was signed by Liverpool in the transfer window in a £60m deal from RB Leipzig, and Szoboszlai has cemented himself as one of Jurgen Klopp’s most important players. The Hungarian international has made the transition from the Bundesliga to the Premier League flawlessly, and Szoboszlai is well on his way to becoming an…
It is straight back to Thursday action for Jurgen Klopp‘s side as Toulouse arrive at Anfield, but how should the Reds line up for the Europa League contest? There is little rest for Liverpool as they get back to their midweek/weekend schedule, now aiming to continue their perfect start to their European campaign against Toulouse. Klopp has readily rotated his side when it comes to these fixtures, but he has a number of injuries and selection dilemmas to consider. The French side arrive with the second-best record in Group E (four points) and Klopp will not be one to underestimate Liverpool’s opponents. The…
It’s sometimes fair to wonder if the punishment of a penalty really fits the crime that led to it being awarded. Thanks to expected goal models we can prove the point. FBRef gives spot kicks a value of 0.79 xG, as just shy of four out of five are scored. Liverpool has only had two non-penalty chances of at least that value in league or Europe this season; tap-in goals for Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch against Wolves and Union SG respectively. It’s really hard to otherwise generate chances of the value of a penalty. To get one for a…
Reported Liverpool target Kalvin Phillips looks set to leave Manchester City in January. Phillips has been linked with Liverpool since even before joining City from Leeds United in summer 2022. Having opted to move to the Etihad though, the 27-year-old has failed to break into the team. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, rumours about a move away have continued, with the Reds once again being mentioned. And according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Phillips has now accepted that he needs to move away for regular game time. “From speaking to sources, it’s very likely for Kalvin Phillips to leave Manchester City…
Spurs continue to set the pace at the top of the table but can they really last the distance? Let us know what you think! Could this really be Tottenham’s year? After a summer of change that saw them swap managers and reluctantly agree to sell their all-time record goalscorer, Spurs fans surely wouldn’t have thought it possible to be at the top of the Premier League after nine matches of the season. But that’s exactly the scenario for Ange Postecoglou’s side, with Monday night’s 2-0 win over Fulham seeing them move two points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal,…
Tottenham’s dream start to the campaign continued as Ange Postecoglou’s side returned to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-0 win over Fulham. Heung-min Son’s seventh goal of the season gave the hosts a first-half lead and after the break James Maddison added a second with his first goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Playing just their third home game of the term, Spurs almost took the lead with barely two minutes on the clock when Son was played through by Maddison only for the South Korea international’s shot to be repelled by Bernd Leno. Fulham had…
Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey were in action on Monday night as the anticipated London derby ended badly for the former Ajax defender Tottenham Hotspur secured a 2-0 victory over Fulham in their English Premier League face-off, with Calvin Bassey’s unfortunate errors causing a dent in the Cottagers’ performance. Bassey’s blunders led to both goals, handing the hosts a crucial win and catapulting them to the top of the EPL standings. In the 36th minute, Bassey’s misplaced pass in a dangerous area gifted the ball to the alert Spurs, who swiftly capitalised as Heung-min Son found the net with a composed…
Pundit Ally McCoist has admitted watching Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison after Fulham was getting very frustrating. McCoist was commentating on the match for TalkSPORT (23/10 8:31pm) and witnessed another victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side. Son Heung-min and James Maddison’s goals decided the tie but they could have scored more goals. Fulham made two sloppy passes out from the back and Spurs ultimately capitalised on those errors to earn all three points. Tottenham are playing with immense confidence right now which is in complete contrast to last season’s performances. James Maddison ran the show and might be disappointed he didn’t record an assist last…
Tottenham may have moved back to the summit of the Premier League table on Monday evening but Ange Postecoglou was not completely satisfied with certain aspects of their 2-0 win over Fulham. Taking the lead in the 36th minute through Son Heung-min before James Maddison doubled their advantage nine minutes after the restart, the visitors still caused Spurs some issues and almost gave them a late fright. The Premier League table may make for very good reading for Spurs fans at present due to their two-point cushion over Man City and Liverpool but Postecoglou will certainly not be getting carried…
FULL-TIME Tottenham 2-0 Fulham All over as Tottenham go back to the top of the Premier League! Fulham did have chances, particularly late on, but ultimately it was pretty comfortable for the hosts.

Are Spurs now in the title conversation It looks like Fulham will get a consolation as Harry Wilson suddenly races between Tottenham defenders. He takes a couple of touches to try and work a better angle but in the…
