Mourinho berates ‘childish’ Man United after dropping points
LEICESTER, England — Jose Mourinho berated his wasteful players after Manchester United conceded a stoppage-time equalizer against 10-man Leicester. The performance was “childish.” Players lacked intelligence and showed “no maturity.” There were “joke chances” missed before collapsing to draw 2-2 that further imploded United’s faint title hopes. Harry Maguire’s strike for Leicester in the fourth […]

Napoli’s new signing might just have the best tattoos in Serie A
What do professional bodybuilders, doormen and footballers have in common?
They all love a tattoo. Sleeves, elvish, initials, dates… the lot.
But the best of the bunch can be found in Serie A, where Daniele De Rossi, Marek Hamsik and Mauro Icardi have spent hours under the needle.

One of the latest additions to Serie A’s ink gang is Benevento forward Amato Ciciretti.
While it might not have gone particularly well on the pitch for Ciciretti- Benevento took 15 games to pick up their first Serie A point- the 23-year-old has managed to catch the eye.
Not just for his outrageous set of tats either.
‘You there. Come and give me a tattoo immediately’
Ciciretti’s form has been good enough to earn a move to Napoli, according to Gazzetta.
The Roma academy product has scored twice for Benevento this season and is out of contract in the summer.
Napoli have reportedly offered Ciciretti a five-year contract, although a decision could still be made to pay a fee and bring him to Napoli in January.
One thing’s for certain. The tattoo parlours of Naples will be rejoicing when he arrives.

Charlie Daniels will be seeing Mo Salah in his nightmares tonight after terrifying performance
The race to be crowned Premier League Player of the Year is on fire.
The top performers continue to produce spell-binding displays.
After Kevin De Bruyne’s man-of-the-match showing against Spurs yesterday, Mo Salah was not going to be outdone.

The Liverpool winger delivered another superb performance as the Reds thrashed Bournemouth away from home.
Philippe Coutinho’s twinkle toes opened the scoring after a magical dribble, Dejan Lovren got the second with a diving header and Roberto Firmino added the fourth.
But, there’s no doubt about it, this was the Salah show.
Daniels spent most of the game chasing shadowsReuters
Every time he faced the Cherries’ left back Charlie Daniels with the ball at his feet there was only one outcome.
The poor defender will be seeing Salah’s shadow flash past him in his nightmares tonight as he saw until he was put out of his misery with a substitution in the second half.
On several occasions in the first half the Egyptian had Daniels on toast as he dipped inside and out to glide into the box.

That strike was Salah’s 20th of the season… I’ll remind you we are in December.
He is the first Liverpool player to hit 20 in all competitions in a season since Luis Suarez and the first player to do it before Christmas since Ian Rush in 1986-87.
At £35 million, Salah has to be the signing of the season.

Jurgen Klopp is SPOT ON with his rotation – but his Liverpool players are letting him down
We forget that Jurgen Klopp has still only experienced two years of Premier League football.
The Liverpool manager has left his indelible mark on the club, taking them to two cup finals and back into the European elite of the Champions League already.

There’s no denying the impact Klopp has made at LiverpoolGetty - Contributor
But the German has faced criticism in recent weeks for rotating some of his best players.
The ‘Fab Four’ of Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah have run riot in recent weeks, particularly when all four were on target in the 7-0 demolition of Spartak Moscow.
But Klopp responded by resting Coutinho and Firmino for the Merseyside derby four days later, an encounter that ended in a frustrating 1-1 draw.
Almost instantly his decision was slammed by pundits and fans alike who couldn’t comprehend the logic behind resting two of their most effective players for arguably their biggest game of every season.

But there’s method in the madness.

Xabi Alonso burns fingers on heated ball as Liverpool handed easy Champions League draw It looks like Jurgen Klopp has been visiting Roberto Firmino’s dentist QUIZ: Can you name every country that has a Premier League player from their nation? Winter BreakKlopp has openly admitted he is still very much acclimatising to the truly demanding concept of a Winter break, something which doesn’t exist in Europe.
And his record, according to research carried out by The Times, emphasises why the Reds’ boss has taken such meticulous care and caution to this season’s version.
Getty - Contributor Liverpool were beaten 2-0 by Hull at the end of January[/caption]
Klopp’s record from the most intensive period of his first two seasons in England reads as follows: P34, W11, D11, L12.
That’s right – more defeats than victories in between the start of December and end of January.Distinctly average to say the least.
Last season Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup and League Cup and faded out of the title picture all within a few terrible weeks in January after embarking on a run of 16 games in 63 days.
His job is to ensure there isn’t a repeat this time round.
Klopp’s record over the Winter months is appallingMATTHEW CHILDS
Poor decision making costing Liverpool
The problem for Klopp is – as much he insists he shoulders the blame for poor results – his players have so far failed to justify his approach with naive and costly decision making.
In the derby against Everton the Reds were utterly dominant but ultimately sacrificed two points after two poor individual errors.
At 1-0 up, Sadio Mane inexplicably opted to shoot himself when he had three team-mates waiting with an open goal at their mercy.
Mane had three team-mates demanding a pass when he choose to shoot
Then Dejan Lovren – soft as it was – inexplicably gave referee Craig Pawson a decision to make when he barged Dominic Calvert-Lewin to the ground, allowing Wayne Rooney to equalise from the penalty spot.
And against West Brom on Wednesday night it was a similar story.
Liverpool again squandered several gilt-edged opportunities in the 0-0 stalemate at Anfield, with the ‘Fab Four’ unusually subdued.
Reuters Salah and co. were frustrated against West Brom[/caption]
Klopp admitted afterwards: “It was not a game for twenty chances, but we had seven or eight, and we know the boys usually score in moments like this.”
The Reds should have battered Everton and West Brom given their firepower up top, so the buck doesn’t fall with Klopp for their inability to do so.
Long term vision over short term needsLiverpool’s owners FSG knew what they were buying into when they approach Klopp to replace Rodgers over two years ago.
The German spent seven years at both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, with his managerial mantra about building a legacy rather than short-term solutions.

The same applies to the Winter months.
Klopp is thinking ahead, hoping by the time February comes he’s not left regretting the same mistakes he’s made in the two previous seasons.
It’s just a shame busy keyboard warriors on social media are unable to see that.
