23/04/25 10:10

21/03/25 12:38CHRIS SUTTON: No one can listen to what Thomas Tuchel said and hear anything but a two-footer on Gareth Southgate. No clear playing style, no clarity, no rhythm, no repetition of patterns.

CHRIS SUTTON: Why Chido Obi reminds me of Wayne Rooney - and how Ethan Nwaneri is already Arsenal's most reliable attacker

Rasmus Hojlund looks shorn of confidence and is second-guessing himself right now, writes CHRIS SUTTON - this is how he can END 19-game Man United goal drought

The big-money summer signing who already needs to go, the great survivor at the back and the Premier League hotshot he should make a move for… CHRIS SUTTON reveals how radical Ruben Amorim can ditch the deadwood and overhaul Man United
29/12/24 05:00CHRIS SUTTON: I've not been surprised by anything when it comes to United this season. I've been predicting them to lose most weeks now and I think they've got no choice but to stick with Amorim.

18/11/24 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: The Harry Kane and England situation is a really interesting one. If we go back to the Euros, I was always adamant that you have to play Kane.

How Spain's wing wonders baffled England and Jude Bellingham with half-time tweak to take control of Euro 2024 final - CHRIS SUTTON talks tactics
16/07/24 01:00CHRIS SUTTON: Symmetrical. Smooth. Everything Spain were England weren't. It seemed effortless how they progressed play from back to front.
Lopsided England were just not brave enough to triumph... Spain have been superior and are deserved champions, writes CHRIS SUTTON
14/07/24 10:24CHRIS SUTTON: I don't think anybody could argue that Spain did not deserve that victory. They had the better of the opportunities, they were the dominant and most outstanding team in the tournament.
Gareth Southgate did what Roberto Martinez was too afraid to do and it got England through to the Euro 2024 final, writes CHRIS SUTTON

FIVE England stars up for the axe: Our experts name their teams to face the Netherlands in the Euros semi-final - with only two picking the same XI and changes in defence, midfield AND attack!
09/07/24 01:00Approaching the sixth game of the tournament, you would expect Gareth Southgate to know his best team by now, but he is still yet to find the magic formula in Germany.
CHRIS SUTTON: Wout Weghorst is so much more than a battering ram... England must beware the threat of the giant Dutchman in semi-final showdown
08/07/24 10:39CHRIS SUTTON: In this age of tiki taka, inverted full backs, false nines, passing triangles, gegenpressing, set-piece specialists there is something beautiful about Wout Weghorst.

04/07/24 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: There is no doubt that Switzerland have looked like a better-functioning team than England at Euro 2024. They beat Italy. They almost defeated Germany.
Roberto Martinez does not have the backbone to axe Cristiano Ronaldo, writes CHRIS SUTTON... the selfish star is more of a hindrance than a help to Portugal right now
02/07/24 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: He almost seems scared to axe Ronaldo, who might as well be named Portugal's manager with the amount of carte blanche he is being gifted in Germany.
FOUR England stars up for the axe: Our experts name their teams to face Switzerland in the Euros quarter-finals - with seven different XIs and one making FIVE changes

Declan Rice should be barking at his England team-mates when it's time to press, writes CHRIS SUTTON... We need to see an improvement in this area if we are to be successful
23/06/24 10:16CHRIS SUTTON: For a team with so many smart players, not knowing when to press is ridiculous. Wayne Rooney mentioned how England miss Jordan Henderson for his vocal presence.

10/04/24 04:00CHRIS SUTTON, MARK CLATTENBURG AND MARTIN KEOWN: Throw out a leg as the defender moves in for the ball, make first contact and then find yourself in a heap. To the naked eye, it is a penalty.
CHRIS SUTTON'S KEY BATTLES: Rico Lewis faces his biggest career test yet against Vinicius Jnr, while Rodri must find a way to stop Madrid's golden boy Jude Bellingham at the Santiago Bernabeu

20/03/24 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Clive Allen scored 49 goals in the 1986-87 season and I marvelled at his scoring art. As a kid it was Trevor Francis for me, with a bit of Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles.
CHRIS SUTTON's guide to the Champions League final eight as reigning champions Man City go up against Real Madrid... and who will come out on top in the Europa League?
15/03/24 10:31CHRIS SUTTON: Who needs the European Super League? We've got the heavyweight clashes we want right here and it hardly gets bigger than Manchester City facing Real Madrid.
CHRIS SUTTON: Ben White will regret refusing England at the end of his career - it's a stance I once took against Glenn Hoddle and still rue the decision to this day
14/03/24 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: If Ben White is refusing to represent England because of a grudge, he will regret this stance at the end of his career, I should know because I regret doing the same.
CHRIS SUTTON: Pep Guardiola knows small details matter and Man City profited from it through John Stones' goal from a smart corner routine
10/03/24 10:46CHRIS SUTTON: Who knows how long Manchester City had been sitting on that set-piece routine. Days? Weeks? Months? Years? I can't say I'd seen them try this before.
CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Maguire faces the ultimate test in Harry Kane, Bruno Fernandes must outfox a midfield machine and Antony will have to do his defensive duties - three key player battles ahead of Manchester United against Bayern Munich

CHRIS SUTTON: Bruno Fernandes tried to play Hollywood passes and ended up in Hartlepool... he's the chief cry baby but the attitude STINKS everywhere at Man United
10/12/23 10:34CHRIS SUTTON: There was one quote in particular from Bruno Fernandes which summed up the alarmingly poor attitude among Manchester United's players.
CHRIS SUTTON: Yes, referee Simon Hooper made a mistake during Man City's 3-3 draw with Tottenham... but the abuse is grotesque!
03/12/23 11:37CHRIS SUTTON: No one knows if Jack Grealish would have scored, especially as he had Tottenham players chasing him. But what I do know is that the abuse of match officials is grotesque.
Forget the calamity keeper, what Man United need is a proper holding midfielder to challenge the Premier League's best
30/11/23 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: The decision to let Casemiro sign a long-term deal is looking more and more foolish because he is not the answer to the lack of protection being provided by the midfield.
CHRIS SUTTON: We have witnessed the game's GREATEST overhead kick... Alejandro Garnacho's effort against Everton cannot be beaten for technique or execution - Wayne Rooney shinned his goal in 2011!
26/11/23 10:31Just like that, we've now witnessed the game's greatest overhead kick. It cannot be beaten in terms of technique or execution. For 0.86 seconds, all of Goodison Park was spellbound.

CHRIS SUTTON: Birmingham City have taken a HUGE risk by hiring a showbiz name in Wayne Rooney
11/10/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Wayne Rooney is stepping into a wonderful footballing city and one where I crossed the divide, playing for Birmingham in the first half of 2006 and for Aston Villa in the second half.
CHRIS SUTTON: Sorry Jurgen, but this is utter tripe to demand a replay... plenty of teams have been wronged by diabolical decisions - it is football!
04/10/23 09:35CHRIS SUTTON: Hell, we could go back to the 1966 World Cup final when West Germany were adamant that Geoff Hurst's shot did not cross the line for England.
CHRIS SUTTON: Aston Villa players have every right to complain if shirts are affecting performances because it's bonkers that their kits aren't up to scratch
29/09/23 09:31CHRIS SUTTON: Football has moved on since the days when my sweaty, stinky, grass-stained Norwich shirt would be washed in time for me to wear it again in the next game.
EXCLUSIVE: Martin Keown reveals all on the iconic Battle of Old Trafford 20 years on as Man United fans still tear into him about Ruud van Nistelrooy moment

CHRIS SUTTON: Erik ten Hag isn't living up to Man United's huge expectations, and the scrutiny on him grows with every sub-standard game
17/09/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Manchester United are not in such a big crisis as when Jose Mourinho was playing the blame game. He cut an isolated figure towards the end, with his mad, egotistical ramblings.
The whole of England is talking about Harry Maguire... Is he the selfless leader refusing to crumble? A handy United scapegoat? Or has he made his own bed? MAIL SPORT's experts have their say
13/09/23 09:31Harry Maguire has received hefty criticism this season, with the defender remaining at Manchester United despite a lack of game time under Erik ten Hag .

CHRIS SUTTON: Man United's dealing of Mason Greenwood has been an utter car crash - and they've had Dithering Dickie at the wheel!
21/08/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Manchester United's CEO Richard Arnold has made himself look like a real Dithering Dickie throughout this entire car crash of a process.
CHRIS SUTTON: If the goalkeeper is your best player, you're in trouble! England tried their best but Spain were just too good
20/08/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: The Lionesses tried their best but, ultimately, we have to accept the better team won on the night. As painful as it is, that's the truth Sarina Wiegman and her squad will have to embrace.
CHRIS SUTTON: Queen Sarina will have her own statue if she can cement a historic double by lifting the World Cup with England
16/08/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: So, Sarina, where would you like your statue? That is what Wiegman will be asked if she can cement this historic double by winning the World Cup.
CHRIS SUTTON: England must play with flair not fear and not be afraid of Colombia if they are to fight their way through to a World Cup semi-final

CHRIS SUTTON: Harry Kane's potential departure leaves a bitter taste; the timing of this decision is shambolic
10/08/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Postecoglou will have known this was a possibility for some time, yet for confirmation of Bayern's accepted offer to arrive now, it's shambolic.
CHRIS SUTTON: Lauren James' spectacular volley against China is the goal players DREAM of scoring... she has sparked England into life
02/08/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Hitting the ball when it is coming across your body and dropping from a significant height is one of the most difficult techniques in the game - and Lauren James did it superbly.
CHRIS SUTTON'S TEAM GUIDE: John Stones and Erling Haaland have been pivotal for Man City but need to be on their game against Inter's robust Nicolo Barella and elite finisher Lautaro Martinez
09/06/23 09:31CHRIS SUTTON: Man City and Inter will go head-to-head in the Champions League final, and there is plenty on the line and the talk of the week is whether City can clinch the coveted Treble.
CHRIS SUTTON: Spurs fans will LOVE watching their team play heavy metal football under Big Ange. They've had three back-foot managers in a row but fearless Postecoglou is as front-foot as they come
05/06/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Nobody had heard of Arsene Wenger when he arrived at Arsenal from Japan and there were Celtic fans who were underwhelmed when Ange Postecoglou came from Yokohama in 2021.
Who will avoid Premier League relegation and who is destined for the drop? Mail Sport's CHRIS SUTTON offers his predictions for the final weekend of the season

16/05/23 09:42CHRIS SUTTON: Round one in Spain was enthralling viewing where City came from behind thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's goal to head home to Manchester with the tie balancing at 1-1.
CHRIS SUTTON: Ilkay Gundogan has gone under the radar - but he probably doesn't mind that. He would not be out of place in conversations around the best midfielders in recent memory
14/05/23 10:00CHRIS SUTTON: Signed for just over £20million as Pep Guardiola's first buy at the club, he's been very understated - and he probably doesn't mind that.

08/05/23 09:43CHRIS SUTTON: Pep Guardiola's side are point clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League and have a date with Manchester United in the FA Cup Final next month.
CHRIS SUTTON: After six defeats, Chelsea are stuck with 'Frank L-L-L-L-L-Lampard': What was supposed to be 'free hit' has turned into a reputation killer for the interim boss... and it is difficult to see how he will get another Premier League job
03/05/23 09:30Chelsea are collecting only 'L's under their caretaker, their latest coming in a pitiful performance at Arsenal. It was enough to make you wonder what they do in training during the week.
CHRIS SUTTON: The FA MUST get a grip on Jurgen Klopp's foul behaviour... it's groundhog day after his latest childish outbursts and only a ban will teach him a lesson
01/05/23 03:13CHRIS SUTTON: I like Jurgen Klopp's passion. His air punching. His infectious smile. It's 'cool', as he would say. But I don't like this childish side to him.
CHRIS SUTTON'S CRYSTAL BALL: Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Leicester, Everton and Southampton are all at risk of relegation... but WHO will go down?
28/04/23 09:30Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Leicester, Everton and Southampton are all at risk of relegation. Mail Sport's Chris Sutton gives his verdict on where they'll finish…

25/04/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Man City and Arsenal's meeting has all the ingredients for a classic as the title race heads towards a gripping conclusion - so which team is in best shape to come out on top?
CHRIS SUTTON: My Mail Sport colleague Martin Keown used to pinch me in the back during games just like Erling Haaland does to opponents... but it never bothered me, I saw it as just a winding-up mechanism!
18/04/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Pinching wasn't the most common tactic in the Premier League when I played but I knew to expect a few nips in the lower back when I was playing Martin Keown!
CHRIS SUTTON: Frank Lampard MUST pick N'Golo Kante to stop Luka Modric against Real Madrid on Wednesday... Chelsea barely laid a glove on Wolves and will need to start scoring if they're to stand any chance of an upset
11/04/23 09:30N'Golo Kante has trained ahead of this first leg and that could be huge. Two years ago, when Chelsea beat Real in the semi-finals, Kante was man of the match in both legs, and again in the final.
CHRIS SUTTON: Granit Xhaka's act of STUPIDITY was what brought Anfield to life and sparked Liverpool's revival... now Arsenal's trip to the Etihad this month is looking like a Premier League title decider
09/04/23 09:30CHRIS SUTTON: Jurgen Klopp used to describe his Liverpool players as 'mentality monsters'. But for the first 40 minutes of this match, they were more like 'meek mice'.
London's calling for Julian Nagelsmann after his Bayern Munich sacking - but should he pick Chelsea's wild west or the nearly men in Tottenham? CHRIS SUTTON runs the rule over German's options as he eyes Premier League's two big vacancies
03/04/23 09:31CHRIS SUTTON: If Julian Nagelsmann chooses London as his next move, he needs to think very carefully about whether he goes to the wild west or to the nearly men in the north.

CHRIS SUTTON: Bukayo Saka is the best right winger in the world... seriously! Mo Salah's lost his edge this season, Riyad Mahrez is incredible but behind the Arsenal star - and Antony doesn't even enter the conversation
28/03/23 10:09CHRIS SUTTON: Saka is only 21 and it is his decision-making that impresses me most. He knows when to dribble and the ball stays glued to his foot. He knows when to lay it off and make a run.
CHRIS SUTTON: To top England's all-time goal scoring list is an IMMENSE achievement by Harry Kane... but he'll want team medals to go with that to make it an absolutely perfect set
23/03/23 10:51CHRIS SUTTON: When you think of the great names on the list of England's all-time top scorers, for Harry Kane to sit clear of them all is an immense achievement.

CHRIS SUTTON: Aleksandar Mitrovic deserves AT LEAST a 10-game ban for pushing referee Chris Kavanagh. Youngsters copy their idols - abuse of officials drips down to grassroots level
20/03/23 10:49CHRIS SUTTON: I refereed my first match a few weeks ago in Oxford. I didn't receive any abuse from the players, nor the parents on the touchline, but I was wearing a GoPro camera on my chest.
CHRIS SUTTON: As a player, I would demand answers from Antonio Conte TODAY... the Tottenham boss calculated his attack and knew what he was doing!
19/03/23 10:34CHRIS SUTTON: Conte knew what he was doing. His attack was calculated and if I was in the dressing room, I'd be thinking, 'Are you talking about me?'.
CHRIS SUTTON: My worst Premier League defeat? When I was at Norwich and Alan Shearer ran me ragged, I was carded for rugby tackling him on the way to a 7-1 hammering by Blackburn
06/03/23 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: Blackburn's 7-1 hammering of Norwich in 1992 was my worst-ever defeat as Alan Shearer scored twice. But that year we didn't let defeats bother us as we finished third.
CHRIS SUTTON: Bruno Fernandes, take a bow for one of the worst displays we have seen from a Premier League player in United's 7-0 thrashing at Anfield… he should be STRIPPED of the captaincy
05/03/23 10:33He waved his arms in the air when Erik ten Hag did not substitute him. Bruno Fernandes, take a bow for one of the worst performances we have seen from a Premier League player.
CHRIS SUTTON: Todd Boehly must trust his instincts before axing under-pressure boss Graham Potter... Arsenal soared after showing patience to Mikel Arteta, but the Blues chief will want to start collecting trophies soon
27/02/23 10:30CHRIS SUTTON: This is new territory for Boehly. He will know that owning a football club isn't all fun and cigars and celebrating wins. The pressure is palpable.
