Manchester United fans react angrily to Ashley Young's one year contract extension

Manchester United captain Ashley Young will not be joining Inter Milan next summer neither will he be signing a pre-contract agreement with other clubs having be given a one-year contract extension.  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team.  Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias.  Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen..

Chelsea vs Liverpool: where the game will be lost and won

Image
The blockbuster encounter between Chelsea vs Liverpool will see two of Europe's finest teams pelt their wits and tricks against each other.

 Frank Lampard youthful side will be hoping to become the first team in 15 attempts to Liverpool's juggernaut from taking all three points in the Premier League. But achieving that fate won't be easy and Lampard knows it. 

 Lampard and his coaching team know they have to stop Liverpool's world class attacking trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane from scoring. Those three have scored 16 of the 21 goals Liverpool have scored in their opening 5 matches of this season.

 If Chelsea can stop those three from scoring, their chances of winning the game jumps from 35% to 75%. 

 Secondly, Lampard also knows Liverpool's midfield is made up of three aggressive tacklers and incessant runners who will press Jorginho, Ross Barkley or N'Golo Kante {if that's possible} to win the ball back and launch a quick counter attacker. 

 But Chelsea already have good midfielders who will pass the ball round them and force them to retreat until the Salah, Firmino and Mane joins the pressing. 
Image
The only weakness Frank Lampard's Chelsea have at the moment is their defense. Kurt Zouma, Antonio Rudiger or Christensen are not good enough to stop Liverpool's attacking trio. 

 Roberto Firmino alone is a menace and his movement, daft touches and creativity will single handily expose them. The Brazilian is very good in drawing defenders out of shape and inward's into middle thereby opening up spaces for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to burst through and score. .

 Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso or Emerson will have to sit deeper to stop not just Mane and Firmino but Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold. Pulisic or Willian will have defend deep or risking losing the game. 

 Simply put, Chelsea's main strength is their outstanding midfield and youthful strike force but their weakness is the defense. 

 Liverpool meanwhile have the attackers {world class}, midfield {average but very hardworking} and defense {world class}. 

 My Prediction: Chelsea 1- 2 Liverpool.

Revealed: Mo Salah is still injured with an ankle injury and now needs injections to play

Its difficult to  fathom the sort of pain Mohamed Salah goes through before and after playing a football match.  The Liverpool winger is still suffering an ankle injury sustained against Leicester City almost one moment. The culprit remains Hamaza Choudhury whose nasty challenge sent Salah to the ground in agony.  Sadly, Salah trains alone, the medical staff and coaches have tailored a specific training programmee for him in a bid to help him recover as quickly as possible. Before a game is played, the fluid in his ankle is drained and later he is injected with pain killers 'presumably' to reduce the pain he will feel.  Asked about Salah's injury, Jurgen Klopp said during his press conference: "He should be fine. He has had to do his individual stuff but he will be in training {on Friday}.  "I think it is more really annoying- for him, not me- the fact that the injury always has a bit of fluid in, and he has to deal with it, we get it out an...

I believe he's at the start of something every special for City. "What makes him a special player, and not just a gifted player, is he's such a positive guy. It's very natural to him. I also call him a leader. I've told him that and he laughs at me when i say it".  Explaining more on why he sees Bernando Silva as a leader, Kompany wrote: "There are so many different types of leadership.

Roy Hodgson reveals what Crystal Palace must do to beat Liverpool

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is confident of becoming the first Premier League manager to beat Liverpool this season.  The Reds are unbeaten this season having won 11 games and drawn just once to Manchester United. In fact, Liverpool's last defeat came in hand of Manchester City which was last season.  Since that defeat, Liverpool have gone to win 42 matches and drawn 6 with no defeat.  Hodgson who managed Liverpool from {2010-11} feels he has the antidote to neutralise Liverpool.  "We have to restrict the space their front three are good at using. We have to defend the wide areas", Hodgson said during his press conference.  "We have to make sure our defending around the penalty box is very good. They are a very energetic team, a high pressing culture that when the ball is lost they work very hard to win it back and we need to have composure to free ourselves from our pressure." Crystal Palace haven't beaten Liverpool in any compe...
