Thomas Tuchel’s Game-Changing Move Could Shake Up Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon’s Future

11/11/2024 Raymond 0

Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon has yet to find his rhythm with the England national team, despite brief moments of promise. During Euro 2024, Gordon faced a challenging time, as many wondered why he and fellow winger Cole Palmer weren’t given more game time while England struggled in the group stages. Though Palmer eventually scored in the final, Gordon remained largely on the sidelines.

Now, with Thomas Tuchel set to lead the Three Lions, Gordon’s place may face new competition. Reports indicate Tuchel has reached out to Marcus Rashford, hinting that his absence during Euro 2024 weakened England’s left-wing attack. While Tuchel values Rashford’s experience, he hasn’t dismissed Gordon’s potential; he admired Gordon’s bold playing style as far back as 2022. As England prepares for the 2026 World Cup, Tuchel’s desire for multiple strong options suggests a fierce battle for the left-wing position.

Sheffield Wednesday may have lost the Steel City derby, but it wasn’t for a lack of effort. The Owls brought energy and spirit, especially in the first half, where they stifled Sheffield United’s attempts to control the game. By halftime, it even looked like Wednesday might be the ones to break the deadlock. Yet, when the Blades ultimately seized the lead in the second half, one player’s absence was particularly notable: Barry Bannan.

In the build-up, Wednesday legend Lee Bullen described Bannan as “crucial” for the derby, underscoring the need for experienced players to shine. However, Bannan struggled to assert himself. His influence was limited, with missed passes, lost duels, and an uncharacteristic lack of composure. Where Wednesday needed his leadership most, he fell short, and it was Sheffield United’s midfield, led by Vinicius Souza and Callum O’Hare, that found ways to exploit the Owls.

Mark Hughes’ ‘Real Coup’ Gamble Backfires as Stoke City Suffers Costly Eight-Figure Loss

11/11/2024 Raymond 0

Stoke City’s costly transfer of Kevin Wimmer in 2017 stands out as a defining misstep in their journey toward relegation from the Premier League. Acquired for a hefty £18 million from Tottenham Hotspur, Wimmer arrived with high expectations from manager Mark Hughes, who described the Austrian center-back as a “real coup” who would enhance Stoke’s defensive line. However, Wimmer struggled to meet these expectations, and by the season’s end, Stoke’s defense had faltered, contributing to their drop from the top flight. Following Hughes’ dismissal, Wimmer was further sidelined under new management, failing to make a first-team appearance as Stoke descended into the Championship. After multiple unsuccessful loan spells and a quiet departure in 2021, Wimmer’s time at Stoke became a painful reminder of the club’s ill-fated transfer decisions.
