Back Pages: A Round-Up of the Latest Football News
Welcome along to the Back Pages, where we discuss the latest news and controversies in the world of football. Joining me tonight are Mark Ogden, senior writer at ESPN, and Ian Ladyman, football editor at the Daily Mail.
Salah’s Apology and the Fallout
We begin with the latest drama surrounding Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. Curtis Jones, the Reds’ midfielder, has revealed that Salah apologized to his teammates for his comments about being made a scapegoat for Liverpool’s poor form. But what does this mean for Salah’s future at the club? Mark and Ian discuss the implications and whether Salah’s apology will be enough to salvage his relationship with the team.
United’s Kids are Entitled
Next, we touch on the comments made by Manchester United’s player, Ruben Amarn, who claimed that the club’s young players are entitled. Ian thinks that Amarn’s words were a sign of frustration with the constant scrutiny the team faces, while Mark believes that Amarn’s comments may have been poorly timed.
City’s Coaching Candidates
Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Manchester City are reportedly interested in Enzo Moresco, a highly-regarded coach with a strong track record in the Championship. But would Moresco be the right fit for City, and do they have the depth to compete with the likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona?
Aston Villa’s Title Charge
Lastly, we discuss Aston Villa’s surprising title challenge, which has seen them win nine games on the bounce. Ian thinks that Villa’s squad is playing well, but lacks depth, while Mark believes that they may finish third at best.
