#PLStories – Ralph Hasenhuttl thinks losing dressing room story was a Sh*t story #SaintsFC

August 14, 2022
RALPH Hasenhuttl labelled midweek reports that some of his Saints players had lost trust in his management as "sh*t”, following their 2-2 draw with Leeds United. The St Mary’s side came from two goals behind thanks to strikes from substitute Joe Aribo and Kyle Walker-Peters, after a Rodrigo brace. The pressure had been on the Austrian boss after reports emerged on Thursday that some of his players and even new coaches were said to be dissatisfied with his methods. Hasenhuttl insisted his team’s response to going two behind in their own stadium, after losing 4-1 on the opening day, was the answer to such headlines. “I don’t want to discuss such headlines because it is very serious to spread like that,” he said. “Everybody can do it – it is up to you if you take it and make a story out of it. Everybody can say something on social media, it is up to you if you make it big.” He continued: “When you know about your team and you trust your players with what you are doing, the amount they are investing every day to become competitive, then you know this is sh*t.” Coming from behind to pick up their first point of the Premier League season; it is a step in the right direction after losing from a leading position last weekend. “We take now one point off from all the points we have given away, in the never ending table,” Hasenhuttl added. “It’s good to see the reaction, we don’t want to hang it too high – the question is first why are we conceding easy goals in the first place? “But the reaction is like a team who are not accepting when things don’t work.” A message from the Editor Thank you for reading this article - we appreciate your support in reading the Daily Echo.

#PLStories – Scott Parker reveals Solanke and Zemura were ‘late drop-outs’ #AFCB #MCFC

August 14, 2022
SCOTT Parker revealed Dominic Solanke and Jordan Zemura were "late drop-outs" ahead of this afternoon's trip to Manchester City. The pair, a key duo since Parker's arrival, did not travel to the home of the champions, with Cherries going on to lose 4-0. Solanke, who had not missed a league game since Parker took charge last summer, was absent due to an ankle injury, while Zemura tested positive for COVID-19. Asked if the pair withdrew late on, boss Parker told the Daily Echo: "They were late drop-outs. They were drop-outs yesterday morning, so it was disappointing. "Dom has felt his ankle yesterday morning, so didn’t feel he could play today and obviously didn’t want to risk that. "And then JZ, felt ill yesterday so it was a bit of a disruption that late on when you’re trying to prepare as well. "But overall I was pleased with the way we went about it and I was pleased with the players and the group that came on." Asked how much of a disruption it was to lose the pair, Parker added: "It affects it, of course it does. "When you have late decisions to make and you’ve done a lot of work in the week to prep for that, but that wasn’t the reason (we lost). "But of course it wasn’t ideal."

#PLStories – Scott Parker admits the quality of Manchester City was too good for Bournemouth to handle #AFCB #MCFC

August 14, 2022
BOSS Scott Parker had no complaints after seeing his side well beaten at Etihad Stadium, admitting Manchester City were "just too good" against his side. Cherries fell to a 4-0 loss at the home of the champions, with first-half strikes from Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden added to by a late Jefferson Lerma own goal. The defeat extends Cherries' losing run against Manchester City to 12 matches. Reflecting on the defeat, Parker told the Daily Echo: "The game was the game today. I think we all understand and many managers have probably sat here after a game playing against Man City and the quality that they possess. "The levels were different today. We’ve played against a world class team that can execute in any given moment. "I said before the game, we’re probably going to need to have 11 men with 10 out of 10 performances. We’re going to have to ride our luck. We’re going to have to take the very few chances that we’re going to get, along with every other team that comes here. "They limit your chances and you’re going to have to be clinical. "We didn’t manage to do that. And then obviously their quality shone through really. "The first 20 minutes, after the goal goes in and then two quick goals that go in, at that point obviously you could be on the end of one. "But I was pleased with the team in terms of the way they stuck with it. Showed good endeavour, good personality, were still brave and had courage, so I was pleased with that." Discussing the moments of magic for the opening two goals from from Erling Haaland, to set Gundogan away, and De Bruyne's finish, Parker added: "That’s exactly it. At times today, the levels and the quality was there for everyone to see. "That’s what happens when you’re playing against a world class team and world class players really. "We had our tiny little moments and then they punish you with individual brilliance and where they are as a team." He continued: "I thought to a man my players gave everything they could give today, left everything out there, the difference was the qualities and levels were just too good."

#PLStories – AFC Bournemouth skipper Lloyd Kelly admits they came up against the best team in the world #AFCB #MCFC

August 14, 2022
CHERRIES skipper Lloyd Kelly says Cherries will have to take heavy defeat with a “pinch of salt”, believing that his side are more than capable of bouncing back from a 4-0 loss away at Manchester City. Kelly played the full 90 minutes at the Etihad as the reigning champions raced into a 3-0 lead before the break courtesy of goals from Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne, and Phil Foden. Half-time fears of the floodgates opening further were quelled as Cherries mostly kept City at bay in the second half, but Jefferson Lerma was unfortunate to turn home a City cross for the fourth. In the first half Cherries started deep and rarely ventured out of their own half, but after conceding the opener, they opened up and started to come forward with more regularity. That lead to De Bruyne and Foden scoring via counter attacks, effectively finishing the game before the interval. When asked if the mentality changed between the first and the second goals, Kelly told the Daily Echo: “No, I don't think so. “I think obviously we came into this game with the mentality of we're going to be coming up against one of the best teams in the world at the moment and we're going to have to adapt our play in game. “I think obviously later on in the game I think we managed to be a little bit more brave on the ball, and of course that's when the counter attacks came. “Of course, when you come up against the quality like City possess, they're going to cause you problems and they're going to take their chances when they come.” Despite conceding four goals and barely laying a glove on the defending champs, the 23-year-old shared that playing sides of the ilk of Manchester City was the reason Cherries battled so hard to win promotion last term. “I said to the boys before this game this is what we worked so hard for last season to be in this league, and come up against these types of teams and it's part and parcel of being in the Premier League. “I think everyone in the changing room of course, no one wants to come out a game losing 4-0, but at the same time as I mentioned at the start it's we've come up against one of the best teams in the world at the moment and I think you’ve just got to take it with a pinch of salt and move on to the next game.”

#PLStories – AFC Bournemouth’s manager Scott Parker admits he did not fear Manchester City #MCFC #AFCB

August 13, 2022
SCOTT Parker is well aware of the challenge his Cherries side face when they visit Manchester City this afternoon – but it is a challenge he relishes, rather than fears. Both Cherries and Parker are yet to taste victory – or avoid defeat – at the hands of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, with the Citizens currently enjoying an 11-game winning streak over the South Coast club. READ MORE: Since Cherries’ last played in the Premier League, City have reached a Champions League final, and this summer, they strengthened further with the addition of generational talent Erling Haaland. When asked how to stop the Norwegian, Parker replied: “It'll be difficult, of course. “He is a world class centre forward. We've seen it from afar, probably in Germany, and then we've seen it in the first game against West Ham. “And the power and the pace that he possesses and the quality that he brings in terms of giving Manchester City a little bit more of a different dynamic. “And yes, it's a big challenge ahead for us in terms of individually, defenders, in terms of the team, in terms of trying to stop that, but we'll give it our best shot at trying do that really, it's a good challenge to go and face.” Parker then went on to talk about City as a whole, stating: “I don’t fear it. I realise it's difficult. “I realise it's a big challenge. I don't fear it one bit. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to going there, for us, trying to assert ourselves in a way we can. “I know that's going to look maybe different to how it can be in other games just through their far superiority on most games of football. “Arguably the best coached team in world football. “And the manager they have, probably a genius in that sense. “Every aspect of the game is really nailed down and then added to that is excellent execution and quality and technical ability of the players as well. “So, yeah, you're right up against it. Any team is when they go there. “I keep saying it's a big challenge, but it's one we embrace. It's one which we looking forward to taking it on and see what we can get out of it.” READ NEXT:

#PLStories – Nathan Ake admits he expected a day to come when he meets Bournemouth again #AFCB #MCFC

August 13, 2022
DEFENDER Nathan Ake insisted he always knew he would face Cherries once again and added: “It was good to see them go up.” Ake played 121 times for the Dorset club in total, having signed from Chelsea for £20million in 2017 following a successful loan spell. The former Feyenoord youngster joined Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in August 2020 for £41million, following Cherries’ relegation from the top flight. He has gone on to win two Premier League titles and a League Cup with City. Speaking about facing Cherries for the first time tomorrow since his move, the Netherlands international said: “It will be good to see them again. There has been lots of change since I was there to be fair, the manager is different and a lot of the stuff is different. “It will be different, but it will be good to see some familiar faces. “I follow them when I can and also it was good to see them go up. I knew this day would come that I would face them again. I am looking forward to it. “Some of them I still keep in contact with. Dominic Solanke is there and he was at my wedding, so it will be good to see him as well. I will see him after the game.” Scott Parker’s side began their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa last time out, while Ake helped City overcome West Ham 2-0. He added: “They will be tough opposition to play against, even when we play at home, but we are ready to go.”

#PLStories – Scott Parker gives updates on David Brooks return from cancer recovery #AFCB

August 13, 2022
HEAD coach Scott Parker said David Brooks was “getting closer” to a return to full training as Cherries looked to step up his workload. The Warrington-born star was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin lymphoma back in October. But the 24-year-old announced in May that he had completed his treatment and was now cancer free – hours before the Dorset club sealed promotion to the Premier League. With Brooks having been working on a return since pre-season, Parker insisted the club would continue to “tread carefully” with him. The Cherries boss did however reveal Brooks could take part in modified work alongside his squad “in the next 10 days”. Asked for an update on Brooks during Thursday’s pre-match press conference, Parker told the Daily Echo: “He is progressing really well. “Brooksy as well, probably in the next 10 days, maybe will start integrating a little bit with us – again modified, so not actually training but will be doing little bits with the team and start progressing and pushing forward. “Probably the last week to 10 days has been his biggest volume of work in terms of really pushing on a little bit now. “We treaded carefully before and there were a lot of factors involved in that, in terms of markers and seeing how he responds to the physical work - albeit that work was light. “We have probably come through that a little bit now and now we are at the stage where we are going a little bit more in terms of trying to get him up to speed and fit to play football matches. “He is doing really well with that. Fingers crossed that keeps moving in the right direction and he’s getting closer.” Former Sheffield United and Manchester City man Brooks has made 91 appearances for Cherries, 30 of those came during his breakthrough season with the club in the 2018-19 campaign. “David Brooks is a Premier League football player. He is top class in that sense,” said Parker. “We lost him all last year. Now, to get him back will be like a signing for us really because we have missed his quality and missed him really. “We will still tread carefully and we have one eye on that, but hopefully he gets through these coming weeks really and go from there.”

#PLStories – Pep Guardiola declares respect for Scott Parker and his style of play #MCFC #AFCB

August 13, 2022
LEGENDARY manager Pep Guardiola detailed his respect for visiting boss Scott Parker and insisted Cherries “don’t have anything to lose” at Manchester City. Parker’s side, who picked up a victory at home against Aston Villa last week, are rated as huge 40-1 underdogs against defending champions City at Etihad Stadium tomorrow (3pm). But Guardiola described the test as “tricky” and admits he is a fan of the work of head coach Parker. “I saw their game (against Villa). I have a lot of respect for Scott Parker, the job he did at Fulham and of course last season at Bournemouth,” said the former Barcelona boss. “And this season, the way they play. The patterns are so clear, so clever. We spoke today in training and we're ready." Asked how difficult it was to face a promoted team at this stage of the season, Guardiola replied: “It's so tricky.  "New-promoted teams. The first games are so difficult, they don't feel pressure because they are in an incredible mood from the previous season. “They don't have anything to lose, they give everything after the good karma, what happened being promoted, that makes it complicated. “After a few months all the teams have problems with injuries, good moments bad moments, the mood in the locker room. “In the first games, everyone pushes to do better. That’s why it’s always tricky.”

#PLStories- Man City legend Vincent Kompany now a Premier League manager #MCFC #BURNLEYFC

June 15, 2022
BURNLEY have confirmed the appointment of Vincent Kompany as their new first-team manager. The Clarets have been without a permanent boss since Sean Dyche’s departure back in April, with Under-21s chief Mike Jackson taking interim charge in the final weeks of the season. Kompany enjoyed a successful playing career at Manchester City among others before returning to boyhood club Anderlecht in 2019, initially joining as player-manager. He guided the club to a third-place finish in the Belgian league last season before announcing his departure amid links with a move to Turf Moor. “Burnley Football Club is a truly historic English side and it is an honour to be appointed first-team manager,” Kompany told the club’s website. “I’m excited by the challenge ahead. “I’m looking forward to getting to work with the players and creating a positive, winning team for our fans when we return to Turf Moor. “I’ve been impressed by the board’s vision for the club which aligns with my own and I look forward to playing my part as we enter an important season.” The Clarets are preparing for life back in the Championship following relegation from the top-flight last season. Chairman Alan Pace is delighted to have secured Kompany's services and is excited by his philosophy. He added: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Vincent to Burnley Football Club. “Vincent is a proven leader and I’ve been very impressed with his ideas for Burnley Football Club, his appetite to succeed and his focus on leading the club back to the Premier League. “Vincent has shown impressive credentials in leading one of Belgium’s biggest teams back to European football and a cup final last season and we’ve been excited by his philosophy, approach and ambition for the club.” Clarets on social, plus take out a subscription...

#PLStories- James Ward-Prowse describes pride while playing for England #SAINTSFC

April 6, 2022
JAMES Ward-Prowse described walking out for England as “the best feeling you can have as a player” as he expressed joy for clubmates Kyle Walker-Peters and Fraser Forster after call-ups. The Saints captain featured from the start for Gareth Southgate’s side during the 3-0 win over Ivory Coast at Wembley Stadium, unsurprisingly on set-piece duty for the Three Lions too. It was the 27-year-old’s 10th cap for his country, while there was caps one and two for the impressive Walker-Peters during the same camp – including a strong start to his career versus Switzerland. Kyle Walker-Peters has won on both of his England appearances (Pic: PA) The three England lads returned to Saints and started for Ralph Hasenhuttl in the 1-1 draw at Leeds United’s Elland Road, but the skipper spared time to discuss their international week. “Incredible, incredible. It’s the best feeling you can have as a player,” Ward-Prowse told the Daily Echo. “To walk out and represent the country was incredible. “And to be around those sorts of players and see up close how good these players are really inspires you to keep on striving to be in that environment on a more regular basis. “So yeah, a really positive week and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It’s great to see your clubmates get their opportunity as well.” James Ward-Prowse in England training (Pic: PA) While Forster did not make an appearance for Southgate, with Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope both completing 90 minutes, it was a surprise return for the giant anyway. Close friend of Ward-Prowse, Forster, returned to the England fold for the first time since 2017. His last cap came from an international friendly with Australia one year earlier. Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale and West Brom’s Sam Johnstone both withdrew from Southgate’s squad to afford Forster the late opportunity. “I think Kyle has thoroughly deserved it - he’s shown great consistency and quality this year so I’m absolutely delighted for him,” Ward-Prowse added. “And of course to see big Fras up there was great. He’s my best mate, I know he’s been through some difficult times and a little bit of frustration not playing as much but you can see the confidence and the happiness that it’s given him. Fraser Forster made a return to the England setup for the first time in five years (Pic: PA) “And he made some great saves versus Leeds to keep us in the game as well.” The England group will next meet up for a busy schedule of four UEFA Nations League matches across 10 days at the start of June, following the conclusion of the football season. Ward-Prowse and Walker-Peters will hope to return with the group, while Forster will likely have to wait on the status of those goalkeepers ahead of him if he is to land another shock call-up.

#PLStories- Ralph Hasenhuttl reveals Southampton debating balance of young or experienced transfers #SAINTSFC

April 6, 2022
RALPH Hasenhuttl explained why Saints are debating what balance of young and experienced players to bring into the squad, ahead of the summer transfer window opening. The Premier League confirmed last week the window for trading players will open on Friday, June 10, and continues until 11PM Thursday, September 1. Under new owners Sport Republic, Hasenhuttl and Saints CEO Martin Semmens had previously declared they would follow the model of signing talented young players to give their first steps. Martin Semmens with Dragan Solak and Henrik Kraft of Sport Republic (Pic: Stuart Martin) Last summer’s window was successful for this reason, after the exodus of experienced stars such as Danny Ings, Jannik Vestergaard and Ryan Bertrand. Supporters had hoped that the club would complete a deal in the January window, the first under Sport Republic, but they kept the same squad of players for the second-half of the season. They could now table a first top-half finish of Hasenhuttl’s tenure, while every place in the Premier League is worth around a couple million pounds more in prize money. “We will move earlier this season, this is for sure,” Hasenhuttl confirmed to the Daily Echo, when asked if the club is already finalising plans for the summer. “I think we have a squad at the moment where we have young, potential players and they are going in a good way. Stars like Tino Livramento are set to remain with the club (Pic: PA) “The question this summer will be how much of young players we need or maybe even some, I won’t say experienced players but players that give us something different also.” Saints made eight additions to the squad in the 2021-22 summer transfer window, but only now-33-year-old Theo Walcott was older than 24 from that crop. Teenagers Tino Livramento, Thierry Small, Dynel Simeu and loanee Armando Broja were among the youngest. Meanwhile, Romain Perraud, Adam Armstrong and Lyanco were all 24-years-old at the time. Saints' 2021-22 summer signings (Pics: Southampton FC) Hasenhuttl feels the success of Livramento and Broja in particular has helped restore Saints as a club perceived to be a strong developer of talent. The opportunities presented to such youngsters can play a big hand in drawing the best teens to St Mary’s. He continued: “We have to balance it quite well and this is the goal for the summer. “In the end, we are now back known as a developing club that gives young players a chance to play. “This is definitely helpful for our transfer activities in the summer, the rest we will look very carefully and see.” The continual message from Hasenhuttl and the club has been one of moving quickly on targets, but we are yet to see how this operates in practice. Hasenhuttl and supporters will both hope to see deals concluded in mid-June, while there will also be greater clarity on the goalkeeping situation when contracts are set to expire that month.

#PLStories- Burnley boss Sean Dyche looks ahead to Everton crunch match #BURNLEYFC

April 6, 2022
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche has admitted Everton’s relegation woes are simply an indication of the difficulty of life in the Premier League. The 19th-placed Clarets, who have lost their four most recent league fixtures, welcome Frank Lampard’s Toffees – defeated in four of their last five, but four points better off in 17th – to Turf Moor on Wednesday evening for a game which could have a major say in the fight for top-flight survival. Dyche’s side have become hardened after a series of successful survival battles but Everton, who have spent in excess of £560million on new signings in the last six years and started the campaign with Champions League winner Rafael Benitez at the helm, have not been in such serious trouble since 1998, when they stayed up only by virtue of goal difference. Asked about former midfielder Peter Reid’s suggestion that Wednesday night’s is one of the club’s biggest games in 24 years, the Burnley boss said: “It just goes to show you the strength of the Premier League when teams of even their strength, their financial strength and the feel of the club, the history of the club, if you like, are having a tough season. “It’s happened – I remember playing in an era when Manchester City dropped down two divisions. It can happen. “I suppose in a way the odd anomaly and marvel of football is that’s it’s not that easy. Everyone has challenging – or most have challenging seasons. “But it just goes to show you how tough it is, a big club, lots of players there brought in for a lot of money, a well-thought-of manager – and managers previously – and still having a tough season. “But that’s the power of the Premier League. I speak of it all the time. It’s a very, very tough division.” Dyche will once again be without influential skipper Ben Mee as he continues his recovery from a knee injury, while striker Matej Vydra has a chance of making the squad. Midfielder Aaron Lennon knows exactly what is at stake over the remaining weeks of the season, but is equally well aware that the club has seen it all before. He said: “There’s no panic in the dressing room. We know the situation that we’re in, but right now, we’re still confident. “We’ve looked at the games and we know that if we do what we can do, then we can still get out of this. It’s a difficult task, but we’re very capable as a group. “With the run in that we have, there’s still a lot of opportunities for us to go and win football games.” With Sunday’s trip to bottom-of-the-table Norwich to come, Lennon is convinced the clash could prove pivotal. He added: “It is a massive game, there’s no hiding from it. We look at the table and know how big this is. It’s at home and for us to get three points would put us in a strong position going into the weekend.”

#PLStories- Sean Dyche admits all tactics strategy are useless when goals are not scored #BURNLEYFC

April 6, 2022
BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche has offered some advice to his goal-shy team as they prepare for a crunch Premier League relegation showdown with Everton. The Clarets, who are four points adrift of safety with 10 games remaining, have not scored a single goal in their last four outings – which have all ended in defeat – and have managed only six in their last 11, three of them at Brighton. Asked if he could demand any more from his forward players, Dyche said: “Yes – kick it in the net. It’s not rocket science.” The former defender admitted, however, that the task of putting the ball in the net is hardest to coach. He said: “The final moment – all managers, all coaches talk about it – the moment of execution, that’s the toughest bit to coach and manage. “You’re getting the players in the right areas, doing the right things to allow the team the chance to score goals, and then the final moment is the challenge and that’s where we want our players to stand up and take responsibility, as they have done many times. “The whole team can score a goal and the whole team can defend. “We ask a lot of our players, so it’s not just about Wout (Weghorst), Jay Rod (Jay Rodriguez) and Barnsey (Ashley Barnes) and these people, it’s about all of the team responding to score a goal.” Wednesday night’s game could prove key for both clubs with the Toffees just three points clear of the drop zone after four defeats in their last five. But Dyche is adamant that whatever happens during what is sure to be a tense 90 minutes, it will not define the entire campaign for either club. He said: “It’s a season of work, it’s at the end of the season when we look back and reflect. “The number of times I’ve heard, ‘This is a six-pointer’, ‘It’s the one that defines it’ and all the rest of it, and they invariably haven’t defined the season. “You don’t want to be losing these games, quite obviously. They don’t define the whole season, which people are suggesting they do. They can do, but you can’t look at it like that. “I certainly don’t. I’ve been in this division for long enough. We’ve got 10 games. But the immediate focus is on the next one – that’s always been the way we’ve worked.”

#PLStories – Ralph Hasenhuttl gives Southampton transfer insight and why its not about splashing money #SaintsFC

January 14, 2022
RALPH Hasenhuttl has reiterated that Saints are ready to pull the trigger on January transfer deals, adding: “When there is somebody we can sign in the winter, then we will do it.” Since the takeover of the club by investment firm Sport Republic, conversation has naturally swung to how the club will operate in the transfer market. Eager supporters want the right business now, and Hasenhuttl has not been shy in revealing that Saints have the required resources to satisfy that demand with under three weeks to go in this current window. However, despite Sport Republic, backed by lead investor Dragan Solak – who was present for Tuesday’s 4-1 win over Brentford, being “definitely keen” to enact Saints’ transfer strategy, the boss added it will be the right decisions that are taken. Asked if he and the new owners have chatted about just how much funds he will have to play with, the Austrian responded: “Not about the amount of money we want to spend, it's more about the plans we have for the future. “With this team, everybody sees that the way we were going with a young team to develop and making them better is a very good one for us. “This is something we want to do in the future, so they are definitely keen to do the same.” He continued: “And this is why we will have the right decisions to take. And when there is somebody we can sign this winter, then we will do it.”
