Frank was unable to register a full 25-man squad for the Champions League, leaving him naturally short of options for rotation. Mathys Tel missed out on Frank’s Champions League squad, while Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, and James Maddison were also among those left out, and given their ongoing injury problems, Frank would have still been left short. The Dane will likely stick with the same back line he deployed against Aston Villa, with Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence expected to form the rearguard once again. But with options at the back few, Tottenham would…
Bayern Munich got off to a rousing start during its 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the latest edition of Der Klassiker, but it was a nervy ending for the Bavarians. The home side appeared to wear down and wilt under pressure from Borussia Dortmund as the game went on, but it was a gutty effort to even preserve the win under what many would consider to be a shaky second half. Head coach Vincent Kompany will have to find a way to deal with the weariness of his boys, but for now, let’s talk about how it all played…
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick says he does not want his grandchildren to see the behaviour which earned him a red card against Girona on Saturday. The 60-year-old was shown a yellow card for sarcastically clapping the fourth official when he indicated four minutes of stoppage time, after Barcelona missed chances with the match level. When substitute Ronald Araujo did turn home a late winner for Barca, Flick joined the home crowd in wild celebrations and was shown a second yellow card for making an obscene gesture. “I don’t like seeing myself in this state on television, and I don’t want…
How long ago was that? The Tigers were coming off an 66-win season, the Pistons were starting a 17-win campaign and the Wings, at 4-2-2, were making us ask: Hey, is this the year they return to the playoffs? I think these are the two best teams in the NFC right now, not just by record but by the way both are playing football. Baker Mayfield has led the Bucs to four late-game comebacks and three wins against NFC playoff contenders. Jared Goff is captain of the NFL’s best offense, last week’s hiccups against Kansas City aside.That’s good news for…
Last season, Karl-Anthony Towns had one of the best seasons of his career. He averaged 24.4 points, 12.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists. He shot 42% from deep and 52.6% from the floor, making the All-NBA team. Towns won the second-most games of his career and finished with a 27.4% usage rate. With Brown looking to disperse scoring more evenly, Towns’ numbers will likely take a hit, and team success is not guaranteed.The Knicks fired head coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons, bringing in Mike Brown to lead the way. Thibodeau led the Knicks to their first Conference Finals appearance since…
Pep Guardiola sprung a selection surprise with his Manchester City team for Saturday’s Premier League game with Everton. Nathan Ake was drafted into the defence ahead of Josko Gvardiol and John Stones for a first top-flight start since February. The 31-year-old had been linked with an exit during the summer, with Everton among the clubs credited with an interest. He featured for the Netherlands during the international break but Ronald Koeman made it clear that regular football will be required to secure a spot in the squad for the World Cup. Ake’s appearance against Everton seems to confirm that Gvardiol…
The Chicago Bulls received some unfortunate injury news just days before the regular season opener. The team announced that reserve big man Zach Collins will miss at least four weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist. Collins proved to be an invaluable addition for the Bulls after arriving in the Windy City as part of the midseason trade that sent Zach LaVine to Sacramento before last year’s deadline. In 28 appearances with Chicago, Collins averaged 8.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in under 20 minutes per game. Perhaps most importantly, the Bulls were…
