  • Following Nottingham Forest’s crushing defeat, Fabian Hurzeler delivers a message to Brighton supporters.

    Following Nottingham Forest’s crushing defeat, Fabian Hurzeler delivers a message to Brighton supporters.

    After Brighton’s humiliating 7-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, manager Fabian Hurzeler apologized to the supporters, acknowledging that “everything went wrong” at the City Ground.

    Chris Wood continued his incredible run in the Premier League this season with a spectacular hat-trick, and following Lewis Dunk’s early own goal, Morgan Gibbs-White, Nico Williams, and Jota Silva also scored.

    Nuno Espirito Santo’s team responded to Bournemouth’s crushing of Forest last weekend with a resounding victory in front of a boisterous home crowd.

    As a result, Forest now leads fourth-place Newcastle by five points in the standings. Eddie Howe’s team will host Fulham at St. James’ Park this afternoon.

    Shortly after the final whistle, Brighton head coach Hurzeler told TNT Sports, “In the end, we are responsible for the performance, we are responsible for the result.”

    “We are really disappointed because that was not the performance we wanted to give.”

    We can just express our regret to all of our supporters and fans outside for this outcome and performance.

    Selecting a certain player or stage of the game is not the appropriate course of action when you lose 7-0 since, in my opinion, everything went wrong.

    “You win as a team in the end, and we lose as a team today, so we need to stick together, analyze it, and be honest with each other.”

    Hurzeler refused to use the absence of Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari in midfield as an excuse for Brighton’s crushing defeat. The German remarked, “I wouldn’t say that was the main reason.

    ” Football is ultimately about doing the fundamentals correctly: sprinting, counterpressing, and reacting.

    I believe that we weren’t playing at our best in these areas, which is why we weren’t able to maintain a clean sheet. Playing like this won’t get you a win in the Premier League.

     

     

     

  • Winner named in Everton, West Ham and Crystal Palace race to sign £45m Premier League star

    Winner named in Everton, West Ham and Crystal Palace race to sign £45m Premier League star

     

    Everton are set for a frantic end to the winter transfer window.

     

    David Moyes is keen to add reinforcements before the window slams shut on Monday and it’s understood the club are closing in on their first signing.

     

     

    The 7 WORST Football Club Rebrands

    Carlos Alcaraz is on the verge of joining Everton from Flamengo on an initial loan deal with a buy option inserted which will become mandatory if certain clauses are activated.

     

    Alcaraz has already had a spell in the Premier League with Southampton, so it should be a much simpler transition than most leaving the Brazillian league.

     

    Everton are now exploring other deals and with that said, a fresh update on Ben Chilwell’s situation has just come to light.

     

    Crystal Palace agree Ben Chilwell deal

    Everton have been eyeing Ben Chilwell this month as Moyes look to provide Vitaliy Mykolenko at left-back.

     

    It was understood that Chilwell was open to making a move to Goodison Park, but now Crystal Palace have stolen a march on his signature.

     

    Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Palace have agreed a loan deal to sign the £45m man, with the final decision now up to the player.

     

     

    Evidently, a move just across the capital was more appealing for Chilwell, so Everton may have to stick with just Mykolenko as the only natural left-back at the club until the summer.

     

    Ashley Young does have plenty of experience playing there, though, so missing out on Chilwell shouldn’t be too much of a blow.

     

    Everton should prioritise attacking reinforcements

    After Alcaraz, Everton may be able to get one more through the door before Monday’s deadline.

     

    So instead of trying to sign an alternative target at left-back, they should prioritise a move for a centre-forward.

     

    WIth Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Armando Broja set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, that’s evidently the most important area of the pitch to address.

     

    Everton had been monitoring Evan Ferguson, but he now looks set to join West Ham.

     

     

  • Crystal Palace in transfer tussle to sign Danilho Doekhi

    Crystal Palace in transfer tussle to sign Danilho Doekhi

     

     

    Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on signing 26-year-old Dutch defender Danilho Doekhi from Bundesliga club Union Berlin this month.

    According to a report by Football Insider, Danilho Doekhi is the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. The Eagles have been keen on signing a centre-back in the winter transfer window since losing Trevoh Chalobah, with Chelsea terminating the loan deal. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers are also keen on signing the Dutch defender from Bundesliga club Union Berlin this month.

     

    Who is Danilho Doekhi?

    Danilho Doekhi has been one of the most underrated defenders in the Bundesliga since joining Union Berlin from Vitesse Arnhem in July 2022. The Dutchman played his part as Die Eisernen clinched UEFA Champions League qualification in his debut season with the German club.

     

    Since then, the 26-year-old has been a dependable performer for the Bundesliga outfit, even though his teammates have blown hot and cold. Doekhi has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Union Berlin while chipping in with nine goals and two assists.

     

    Meanwhile, the Dutch defender’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. A move to the Premier League might be on the cards before the winter transfer window shuts down, with Crystal Palace among the prospective suitors vying for his signature this month.

    Crystal Palace’s interest in Danilho Doekhi is understandable. The Eagles have been scouring the market for a centre-back since losing Trevoh Chalobah after Chelsea terminated his loan deal with the South London club. Chalobah’s departure has depleted Oliver Glasner’s options, with the crisis worsening after Chadi Riad sustained a knee injury.

     

    So, several candidates, including Ousmane Diao, have emerged on Crystal Palace’s radar, with Doekhi also a viable target. However, the Eagles face stiff competition from fellow Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers for the 26-year-old Dutchman’s signature in the final hours of the winter transfer window.

     

    Wolverhampton Wanderers were recently interested in Kevin Danso and came close to signing the Austrian defender before Tottenham swooped in and secured his services. So, it will be interesting to see if the Black Country outfit can beat Crystal Palace to the Union Berlin centre-back’s signature, although it is unclear if the Bundesliga club will sanction the Dutch defender’s exit.

  • EPL: Nottingham Forest batters Brighton 7-0 as Wood records a hat-trick.

    EPL: Nottingham Forest batters Brighton 7-0 as Wood records a hat-trick.

    At the City Ground on Saturday, Chris Wood scored a hat-trick as Nottingham Forest crushed Brighton 7-0 to rekindle their push for the Champions League the following season.

    Nuno Espirito Santo’s team put on an incredible display as they recovered from a 5-0 loss at Bournemouth last weekend, with Morgan Gibbs-White, Neco Williams, and Jota Silva also scoring after Lewis Dunk’s own goal opened the scoring.

    With the win, Forest closes the gap on sixth-place Chelsea by seven points and ties up with second-place Arsenal on points.

    Due to English clubs’ impressive start in European tournaments, fifth place in the Premier League this season is nearly guaranteed to be sufficient for Champions League qualification.

    Forest, who won the European Cup twice in 1979 and 1980 when the team was at its best under Brian Clough, didn’t participate in Europe again until 1996.

    However, they are well on their way to ending their two-decade wait for continental competition after winning ten of their last twelve games.

    Forest was only the second team in Premier League history to win by that margin after losing a match by five goals or more.

    “That’s exactly what the fans wanted and what we wanted after last week,” Gibbs-White stated. “We have been working all week in training to make things right because last week was well below our standards, and the guys were amazing today.

    “We caught them on the counter a couple of times and totally nullified everything they did.” In the last three minutes, we were clinical.

     

  • When Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion play one other on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, they hope to recover from dismal losses.

    When Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion play one other on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League, they hope to recover from dismal losses.

    Last Saturday, Forest was dragged back to earth after suffering a crushing defeat at Bournemouth, when they gave up five goals.

    Nuno Espirito Santo’s team is still in third position, but they are now only three points behind Newcastle United, who are in fifth place, as they attempt to maintain their Champions League qualifying slot.

    In Saturday’s early kickoff slot, the Premier League’s unexpected top performers must overcome Brighton, while the Seagulls also need to bounce back from their lackluster home loss to the resurgent Everton the previous weekend.

    Before falling to the Toffees, the south coast team had won two straight league games after going on a losing streak.

     

  • Ipswich Town 1-2 Southampton: Ivan Juric on Flynn Downes absence

    Ipswich Town 1-2 Southampton: Ivan Juric on Flynn Downes absence

    When questioned why Flynn Downes wasn’t included in Southampton’s team for yesterday’s 2-1 victory at Portman Road, manager Ivan Juric responded ambiguously.

    Kieran McKenna attempted to entice the former Blues midfielder back to Suffolk last summer, but he was an unexpected absence.

    He was an unused substitute in a 3-1 home loss to Newcastle after being substituted at halftime in the team’s 3-2 loss at Nottingham Forest last month.

    “He didn’t play today because we had some issues with him during the week,” Juric remarked.

    In response to a request for further information, he stated, “No, I’ve said enough.”

    After his first six league games as Southampton’s manager ended in defeat, these were Juric’s first points.

    To surpass the lowest-ever Premier League point total, the Saints now need one more victory.

    They are now seven points away from Ipswich at the bottom of the table. “It is important for the players, for the fans and I think we deserve it,” Juric stated.

    “In the past, we played some excellent games against West Ham and Manchester United, but we didn’t win the points.

  • Marcus Rashford will have a medical at Aston Villa while Manchester United attaches a £40 million buyout option to the loan agreement.

    Marcus Rashford will have a medical at Aston Villa while Manchester United attaches a £40 million buyout option to the loan agreement.

    With Manchester United apparently adding a £40 million buyout option to the contract, Marcus Rashford is getting closer to joining Aston Villa on loan.

    For the remainder of the season, Villa has agreed to pay 70% of Rashford’s £325,000 weekly salary through a loan, according to Fabrizio Romano.

    He adds that a possible three-and-a-half-year contract may follow the £40 million ($49.5 million/€48.8 million) buyout option. On Sunday, a medical appointment is also scheduled.

    Six weeks ago, Rashford made it clear that he wanted to leave United, but few anticipated that the England international would be benched for almost two months due to a continuing conflict with head coach Ruben Amorim.

    However, the 27-year-old appears to be on his way out of Old Trafford after a string of unsuccessful attempts, matchday banishments, and other false dawns.

    Following the sale of striker Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr of the Saudi Pro League late last month, Villa has been searching for a forward.

    Rashford may join England teammate Ollie Watkins in Unai Emery’s offensive line-up if selected.

    With the winter transfer window closing at 11 p.m. on Monday, Villa, who are four spots and eight points clear of 12th-place United, has a limited amount of time to complete this transaction.

     

  • Daniel Farke is taking the right stand, as seen by his most recent Leeds United transfer disclosure.

    Daniel Farke is taking the right stand, as seen by his most recent Leeds United transfer disclosure.

    Although Leeds United has a strong enough team to be promoted to the Premier League, it would be foolish to overlook the obstacles that might arise.

    Daniel Farke is “staying awake” to potential additions prior to the deadline day since he is aware of this.

    He has acknowledged that Brenden Aaronson has no direct backup, and he is also keeping an eye on the striker position due to Patrick Bamford’s injury issues.

    Farke has, however, also emphasized how difficult it is to make improvements to a league-leading club.

    The 7-0 thumping of Cardiff City on Saturday demonstrated the foundation of that theory.

    Leeds has now gone undefeated in 13 games across all competitions, with six different scorers and a fifth consecutive clean sheet since Pascal Struijk returned.
