‘Overrated’ Sterling hasn’t improved since leaving Liverpool…

The Premier League is back. Send your thoughts to theeditor@football365.com…   Overrated Sterling As a Liverpool fan when we sold sterling to city for £50m I felt we got the better end of the deal by far.

England cannot be Greece 2004 and the case for 4-2-3-1…

Keep your mails on England and anything else coming to theeditor@football365.com…   The Case for England 4-2-3-1 I don’t disagree at all with Sam’s point about defence being key in international football, but I do take a bit of umbrage that that necessitates us playing a formation that sets up so negatively when we do […]

Why would any top manager want to come to Man Utd?

Thank you for your mails on Man Utd and more. Keep them coming to theeditor@football365.com…   Who would Man Utd appoint if they sacked Solskjaer? I don’t think the ‘no’ argument put forth by Ian Watson in his article carries much water. The premise of the argument seems, at least to me, that Mr. Watson […]
