After an iconic manager has departed your club, there’s always bound to be some sort of fall-out. When Chris Wilder left Sheffield United – the same manager who had guided them back to the Premier League – The Blades went through a grieving process. breakingthelines.com/squad-analysis…

By the end of the 2015/16 season, Dele Alli and Marcus Rashford were seen as future cornerstones of the England national team. Now, Rashford finds a battle to make squads and Alli is an afterthought at his club, much less his country. Mr. Get Off: breakingthelines.com/player-stories…

The main reason for Ronald Araujo’s success in the high line is his aggressive defending and speed. His tackling success rate, ball recovery rate in the opponents’ half, and total dual winning rate all reflect how good he is as an aggressive defender. breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

After blanking vs. Elche, Ousmane Dembélé picked up two assists apiece in his next two games vs. Osasuna and Real Madrid, before setting up Pedri’s winner in a 1-0 win against Sevilla and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s equalizer in a 3-2 win over Levante. breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Tonight, Rotterdam and a large chunk of the Netherlands will be glued to their television screens. After just over 20 years, fans of Feyenoord, the Dutch sleeping giant, will be able to watch their club take on Roma in a European final. Serbian Football Scout: breakingthelines.com/squad-analysis…

Julien Stéphan led Rennes to their first-ever Champions League qualification and ended their 48-year trophy drought. In one season at Strasbourg, the 41-year-old manager has taken them from relegation candidates to a sixth-place finish. Liam Scahill: breakingthelines.com/squad-analysis…

After failing to bounce back to the Premier League, Sheffield United will now be forced to find a replacement for Morgan Gibbs-White, who will return to Wolves following a successful loan. The answer could be MK Dons’ Scott Twine. @FMGegen & @fmbeth94: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Manchester United face a long, arduous summer rebuild as they attempt to shape their squad around new manager Erik ten Hag. @Mina_MUFC takes a look at 10 potential signings that could help improve the Red Devils’ fortunes. breakingthelines.com/summer-2022-tr…

“Arteta’s appointment was the start of a long-term project & Arsenal need to be judged as such: a flawed work in progress that may yet take some years to bear fruit, but that has already shown promising glimpses of what the future may hold.” Vishnu Anandraj: breakingthelines.com/data-analysis/…

What stands out most from Joel Piroe’s debut season in England is his ability to hit the ground running – he contributed to 14 goals in the first 18 matches – and build relationships with teammates that have helped Swansea navigate a transitional season. breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

The Colombian doesn’t stand out on the stats sheet, but Jorge Carrascal has impressed viewers of CSKA Moscow since they signed him on loan with an option to buy for £5.4 million from River Plate in February 2022. Nein meister: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

As a team who will look to dominate possession, Aaron Wan-Bissaka offers little bar his defensive ability in 1vs1 situations – hardly the hallmark of a modern-day full-back who cost fractionally less than João Cancelo and markedly more than Andy Robertson. breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Luis Sinisterra has hit new heights with his level of creativity, his explosive pace, confidence, and work rate seeing him become a vital part of the team under Arne Slot, and it is no surprise that he is being linked with a move away from Feyenoord. breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

Having made his debut for the Swiss national team at 18 years of age in October 2020 and earned a call-up for the European Championships, Becir Omeragic has stood out thanks to his impressive defensive skills, his ball control and quality of passing.  breakingthelines.com/opinion/analyz…

The decision to recall a 34-year-old Fraser Forster is telling of the predicament Southampton have found themselves in. Alex McCarthy has flattered to deceive during his six-year spell, never quite matching the expectations he set himself at QPR. breakingthelines.com/squad-analysis…

With the insurance of a covering defender behind him, Wilfried Singo’s starting position is unusually higher compared to the average fullbacks. He is constantly teetering on the shoulder of defenders, anticipating every pass forward. chunhang 🇲🇾: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

The shift to a 4-3-3 left Teemu Pukki isolated up top and, while best deployed as a lone 9, the lack of a creative midfielder behind him only made his job tougher and meant he would have to finish every chance that came to him. breakingthelines.com/squad-analysis…

The Blades failed to win any of their first 18 matches, drawing twice with John Lundstram playing in 13. His contract was out at the end of the season and after refusing a new deal, he began to fall out of favour at Bramall Lane with the team in freefall.  breakingthelines.com/player-stories…

Whilst Alex Iwobi has always been a top presser, he’s certainly taken it up a level in recent months. The 25-year-old is completing over 24 pressures per 90 this season – almost double his numbers last season (13.1). James Lloyd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿: breakingthelines.com/player-analysi…

It’s time for a rebuild. It’s time for Chelsea to start building towards something the way the likes of Liverpool and City have, and Thomas Tuchel has shown enough and done enough to warrant the support of the fans and the backing of Todd Boehly. breakingthelines.com/opinion/the-th…
