In total, Messi and Ronaldo have held the prestigious title between them for the past seven years, and former Liverpool and Hamburg man Keegan – a two-time winner of the award in its former guise – says there should be no need to choose between the pair. “Everyone wants…

Coming out of the festive period, the current standing of several managers is hardly stable. Are more managerial changes on the way in the Premier League? Who is leading our Sack Race? How things change in football. Since the last edition of the Sack Race, Louis van Gaal (1/2 to be the next manager to leave his job) has gone from fielding a stodgy but relatively effective team to the brink of losing his job, and asking the press to apologise for writing as such. As ever, it’s results that have done it, with United meekly shuffling out of the…

Just over two weeks into his return as manager, there’s been no grand gesture so far from Guus Hiddink to the Chelsea squad, nothing to signal massive change. There have only been little moments that have stood out. That has never been more evident than during training. According to sources at the club’s Cobham base, Hiddink spends the majority of sessions observing and leaves most of the work to his back-up staff. Yet that changes when he spots something he feels needs specific instruction. Then, he will stop the session and offer some tactical insight, something that subtly changes the…

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits injuries to Philippe Coutinho and Dejan Lovren cast a shadow over Tuesday’s 1-0 victory at Stoke and may force him to dip into the January transfer market.

Klopp is now considering calling for reinforcements with their next game on Friday night. “In this moment with no centre-back fit I would say it is a situation where we have to think about going into the…
