Julen Lopetegui’s behaviour on the touchline left Jason Cundy bewildered as West Ham United lost 3-0 against Chelsea on Saturday 21 September. Speaking on TalkSPORT with Jamie O’Hara (21 September, 5:40pm), Cundy was shocked to see Lopetegui’s lack of body language from the dugout as his team were easily beaten at home. The Irons were 1-0 down inside three minutes as Nicolas Jackson exploited a lacklustre defence, doubling the lead similarly before Cole Palmer sealed the victory early in the second period. Cundy could not believe what he was watching, saying: “Lopetegui, on the touchline – did you see him?…
Tottenham eased the pressure on themselves by beating Brentford 3-1 in the Premier League on Saturday. Ange Postecoglou has come under fire, with Tottenham losing to Arsenal last week and then being fortunate to beat Coventry in the League Cup. But the best recipe for all of this is winning and they did just that by seeing off Thomas Frank’s all-confident side, with Dominic Solanke scoring his first goal for Tottenham. A lot of spotlight was on the club’s record transfer, including Brennan Johnson after he deactivated social media after getting stick from fans – he has since scored in…
This has been a topsy-turvy start to the new campaign for Tottenham who have won just twice to open up the Premier League season. An opening weekend draw to Leicester was followed up with a comfortable win over Everton but since then it has not been plain sailing. Ange Postecoglou has faced criticism and understandably so following two straight defeats to Newcastle and Arsenal. The display against Coventry City in the League Cup was far from ideal either, leaving it late against Championship opposition to secure their path to the next round. So, when Bryan Mbeumo scored within the first…

Ray Parlour will be thrilled if Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal bore their way to the top of the table on Sunday according to dailymail. That is the positive message from the former-Highbury favourite ahead of the North Londoners’ titanic early-season title trip to Manchester City. The visitors start two points adrift of the champions, needing a win to overtake them at the summit. And if that means assuming a safety-first approach, banking another clean sheet on the road, before snatching it on the counter, Parlour will have no complaints. For, much like last weekend when Arsenal emerged 1-0 victors at Tottenham, points are more important…
