They have picked up 15 points after nine games into the season and are six points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur with one match in hand. Speaking in a recent briefing, Ederson said that the defensive displays have improved from last term, but there is still the need for some fine tuning with the arrival of new players.

Shay Given Helping His Nation Against the COVID-19 Epidemic

 

Due to the lockdown situation created by the corona virus epidemic, most of the countries are worst hit in terms of economy as well as other parameters.


The number of people who died due to the corona virus epidemic is much lesser than the number of people who died due to hunger as well as depression. In this hard situation, the former football star of the Republic of Ireland has come forward to stand beside his country. He had a long career of 23 years before he took off his boots and goalkeeping gloves. He has saved his teams from conserving goals many times, and now he is up for saving his country against an invisible opponent.

Shay Given says Jack Grealish is good enough to play for Manchester United

 

Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given believes there should be some truth to the speculation linking Jack Grealish with a move to Manchester United this summer. The midfielder has spent his entire career with the Villains but he has been touted to pursue a bigger challenge at the end of the campaign.


United are obviously deemed the favourites to secure his services and Given feels the 24-year-old is good enough to play for the Mancunian giants, he told Stadium Astro: “There’s so much press and media about Jack joining, there’s no smoke without fire. There must be something in the pipeline that he could be joining United. I’ve no clue what the fee’s going to be but I do think he’s good enough to play for a club like United. He wouldn’t look out of place in that team.”

Shay Given looking forward to big games for Derby County

The Rams have been in superb form since the restart with three wins on the bounce and that has brought them to within one point off Cardiff City, who are occupying the final play-off spot.


Still, they have plenty of work to do as they are scheduled to face Nottingham Forest, West Bromwich Albion, Brentford, Cardiff City and Leeds United in five of their remaining six matches. All of these teams are currently in the top six of the Championship and Given insists that the players are relishing the big challenge at hand.

Shelvey pleased Newcastle have answered their critics under Steve Bruce

Newcastle United midfielder Jonjo Shelvey is pleased that the Magpies have answered the critics who had expected them to be relegated under Steve Bruce this term. The Tyneside outfit saw high-profile exits in the form of Salomon Rondon, Ayoze Perez and manager Rafael Benitez last summer and that led to suggestions that they may struggle to preserve their Premier League status for more than 12 months.


However, they have managed to prove the critics wrong with 35 points accumulated from 29 games this term and they are currently eight points ahead of the drop zone. In a Youtube live session, Shelvey highlighted that the club have done better than the initial expectations of them and hopefully, they can carry the positives when the season resumes after the coronavirus shutdown.
