After facing the side his team beat to a fourth place finish last season, the Tottenham Hotspur boss, Harry Redknapp’s comments were particularly forthright. A 0-0 home draw with Manchester City at the weekend was followed by this friendly concern for his opposite number, Roberto Mancini: “Can he keep the players happy? It’s difficult. He’s not going to do it.” He may have felt emboldened to make such a claim after his side largely dominated their opponents whose bench included Shay Given, Joleon Lescott and Emmanuel Adebayor. Redknapp went further by saying, “I wouldn’t tip them from what I’ve seen. I wouldn’t say they’ll win the championship. They have a long way to go.” The Tottenham boss has a vested interest in seeing their lavish football project fail but do his words speak an uncomfortable truth for Manchester City?

Having spent over £100 million this summer there is immense pressure on City to qualify for the Champions League at the very least this season. It is little wonder that Mancini can be depicted as having simultaneously the best and worst job in the division. Based on their performance against Spurs they may struggle to reach their ambitions targets. Tottenham were collectively strong and had outstanding individual contributions from Gareth Bale and Luka Modric whilst City were kept level by the outstanding performance of Joe Hart. Mancini proffered this explanation: “We are going to need time to learn how to play together. That is normal when you have new players.” The Italian will have the enviable task of assimilating Mario Balotelli and James Milner into the squad in the coming weeks.

It is to be expected that a revamped squad will require time to gel and bond. Redknapp contrasted City’s team unity with that of current title holders Chelsea. Yet the core of that squad has been stable for many years making it a slightly perfunctory analysis. It is surely too soon to speculate on the chances of a squad still in flux, especially since Redknapp only recently said they had a chance of winning the league. Nonetheless his comments struck a chord with pundits and commentators who similarly questioned the ability of Mancini to mould a coherent side. After using three defensive midfielders on Saturday the manger’s tactics were derided as being negative and typically Italian. Using Gareth Barry, Nigel de Jong and Yaya Toure certainly ostracised Carlos Tevez as their lone striker. Strangely they were in desperate need of a Stephen Ireland figure to bridge that creative divide. Mancini, however, should be applauded for the defensive discipline he has installed in his players. Judging by his record at Internazionale and the attacking players he has there will be room for flair in his team. Yet there is a balance which needs to be found which was missing under previous manager, Mark Hughes.

The bigger concern for Mancini’s City is instilling that togetherness which cannot be bought. He has already taken proactive action to remove divisive characters like Craig Bellamy from the dressing room with others set to depart the club. In an attempt to forge some unity and make room for new stars, Mancini should be cautious of not removing elements of the team which progressed five league places last season. Cardiff City’s latest signing left Eastlands saying, “I came here at a great period of the club’s history. I was brought to bring that club on to the next level and I believe I played a big part in doing that.” Bellamy who was popular at City was not engaging in self-promotion and his on-field effort neatly contrasts with Tevez’s statement that he is lacking motivation. If City’s highly paid stars are in need of extra motivation and spirit Mancini should remind them that the whole league is waiting for them to fail.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard will miss England's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland following a hernia operation.

Lampard limped out of Saturday's 2-0 victory over Stoke City – in which he missed an early penalty – and afterwards manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed the need for surgery.

The 32-year-old midfielder is likely to be sidelined for two weeks so will miss the two forthcoming international games in a blow to manager Fabio Capello.

"It is a very easy surgery but he has started to feel pain and he needs to have the operation," revealed Ancelotti.

"We have already spoken with the national team to explain the situation."

Chelsea maintained their 100 per cent start to the season following victory over the Potters which came via goals from Florent Malouda and a late Didier Drogba penalty.

Afterwards a content Ancelotti explained:"I was happy because we won but we didn't have a good, high tempo. It was not our best performance.

Being a goalkeeper is a difficult job. You are the first person to blame if a goal goes in but if you manage to pull off an amazing save, your name will forever be written in footballing folklore. Here’s our list of ten of those goalkeepers whose efforts have earned them a spot on our list.

10. Jim Montgomery vs. Leeds United

The Sunderland goalkeeper produced this incredible double save to prevent Leeds United from equalising in the 1973 FA Cup final. Montgomery managed to beat away Trevor Cherry’s header and react instinctively to Peter Lorimer’s rebound onto the crossbar, all in a split second. He displayed incredibly quick reflexes and agility to keep out both of Leeds’ efforts and secure the victory for the Black Cats.

9. Łukasz Fabiański vs Wigan

Speaking of double saves, Arsenal’s Polish goalkeeper Arsenal’s Łukasz Fabiański does a good job impersonating Jim Montgomery with this double stop against Wigan.

The Pole has come in for some harsh criticism of late with some Arsenal fans deriding the error-prone goalie with the nickname ‘Łukasz Flappyhandski’. Those fans maybe would think twice after seeing Fabiański’s double save against Wigan.

8. Artur Boruc vs Hibernian

Fabiański’s fellow countryman Artur Boruc continues Poland’s fine goalkeeping tradition with this outstanding stop against Hibernian. Hibs midfielder David Wotherspoon lets fly a ferocious half volley which is arrowing towards the top corner only for Celtic keeper Boruc to meet the ball at full stretch and divert it onto the post.

Continue to PAGE 2 for some more great saves…

7. Luis Suarez vs Ghana

While not a goalkeeper, Uruguay striker David Suarez displays remarkable reflexes to deny Ghana a certain winner deep into extra time at this summer’s World Cup quarter-final in South Africa. Suarez hailed his handball as “the best save of the tournament” and that the “Hand of God now belongs to me”. Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas walked away with the Golden Gloves for best goalkeeper in the tournament. On this evidence, Suarez can feel hard done by.

6. Jerzy Dudek vs AC Milan

There is definitely a theme emerging here with another Pole making the list. This time it’s the turn of Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek who pulled off arguably the most memorable save in Champions League final history. Not only did Dudek save Andriy Shevchenko’s first header, he somehow managed to keep out the rebound through an instinctive flick of his left hand. Was it luck or was it skill? Whatever it was, Dudek’s heroics in extra time and in the penalty shoot out ensured that Liverpool won the Champions League on a thrilling night in Istanbul.

5. Claudio Bravo vs C.F. Universidad de Chile

Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo produced this incredible penalty save in the league final against Colo Colo’s arch-rivals Univeridad de Chile. The player taking the penalty attempted a Paneka-esque chip. Bravo was initially fooled by this and dived to his right but as soon as he saw the ball in the air, he quickly adapted his body to reach up and swat the ball onto a post.

4. Gregory Coupet vs Barcelona

They say football players aren’t a clever bunch but Lyon goalkeeper Gregory Coupet used his head to great effect to keep out an errant backpass. His defender came under pressure from Barcelona attacker Rivaldo and forced a high backpass which threatened to loop over Coupet and into the Lyon goal. Coupet spotted the danger and backpedalled to reach the ball. Realising that the ball was out of reach, Coupet threw his head at the ball and produced a moment of magic as he headed the ball off the crossbar to prevent a goal. Not only that, he got up and saved the rebound from Rivaldo.

However, Coupet’s valiant efforts were to be in vain as Lyon lost 2-0.

Continue to PAGE 3 for the top three…

3. Rene Higuita vs England

Colombian goalkeeper Rene Higuita was an eccentric character. He was a dab hand at set-pieces and penalties, scoring 38 times for club and country. But undoubtedly his greatest achievement was the invention of the scorpion kick. Higuita pulled off his audacious save in a friendly against England where he leaped forward and cleared Jamie Redknapp’s goalbound effort with his heels.

2. David Seaman vs Sheffield United

David Seaman was approaching his 40th birthday when Arsenal took on Sheffield United in the 2003 FA Cup semi-final but he showed that age was no barrier to greatness as he made one of the best saves ever from a Paul Peschisolido header. Peschisolido headed the ball goalwards from only 6 yards out with Seaman heading in the opposite direction to the ball. He managed to shift his weight and change direction in a split-second and dive sideways towards the ball and claw it out from Arsenal’s goaline.

1. Gordon Banks vs Pele

At number one spot is Gordon Banks iconic save from Pele’s header in the 1970 Wold Cup in Mexico. Banks seemingly breaks the laws of physics as he dives backwards and across to divert Pele’s pinpoint downward header over the crossbar. After the match, Pele describes Banks’ save as the greatest he had ever seen. And who are we to argue with the greatest player of all time?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says that he has been surprised by the amount of coverage given to the Wayne Rooney-Manchester United contract story this week.

After seeming set to leave Old Trafford, the 24-year-old England forward has penned a new five-year contract with the Red Devils, a move which caught many off-guard, but which did not surprise Wenger unduly.

He said:"Once the club came out and said that they couldn't find an agreement, it was a message that they wanted to sell.

"Certainly Rooney has got the guarantees he wanted – you can translate that like you want, but that's it.

"It was just a story that for me, from the start to the end, was of no interest to me. When I saw the headlines I just turned the page.

"I was never really interested in that story because what happened with Wayne Rooney happens to every club, every year – plenty of times.

"Just because he has a different name it was certainly a story, but it is a super-classical story which happens in every club, every week, so I could never understand what was really special in this case."

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti said that he was not too surprised that Rooney had eventually opted to stay put, adding:"I'm not surprised. Manchester United are happy to keep a fantastic player.

Manchester United's goalkeeping coach Eric Steele believes that veteran Edwin van der Sar will retire at the end of the current campaign.

The 39-year-old Dutchman seems set to be offered a new 12-month contract by the Red Devils, but Steele thinks that the former Ajax, Juventus and Fulham ace will opt to bow out.

He told the Manchester Evening News:"I think Ed has made his mind up and said this is his last year.

"He is a good pro and a sensible and highly intelligent guy who will know when the time is right.

"I don't think he will need myself or the manager to tell him that time has come – he will know

"I think we need him because this team is in transition at the moment. If he gets to Christmas and he thinks it is right to go on and the manager thinks it is right, we will make a decision.

What to do if you’re Aston Villa?  Following Randy Lerner’s takeover it appears to have gone all quiet in the Midlands, that is until arch rivals Birmingham City started to splash the cash.  Are Villa in danger of losing their status as the number one club in the Midlands?  Are they that broke?  With their recent striking crisis, we ask who can they realistically sign to kickstart their season?

Whilst the usual Robbie Keane for £6million rumours will once again surface over Christmas, just in time for the January transfer window, Villa have been hit with a worrying loss of form, a spate of injuries and rumours of in-fighting with most of their strikers.  The question is now, what is Gerard Houllier to do?  Does he have the cash to spend?  Should he remain true to Villa’s recent successful policy of buying British or should he look abroad, perhaps to his homeland?  Can Villa still attract the big names?  And what’s more, is a striker even their priority?

It has been asked in some quarters, and rightfully so, what happened to the Milner money?  As Milner moved on, following Gareth Barry, and with Stiliyan Petrov’s recent injury, their midfield seems to have lost spark and creativity.

Ashley Young and Stephen Ireland have somewhat solved this problem as a short term measure but with these two, Stewart Downing and the revelation that is Mark Albrighton, does the midfield need a shake up or do these young wingers just need a new stirker to aim at?

Villa have been unlucky.  Emile Heskey, seemingly rejuvenated under Houllier, got injured.  Gabriel Agbonlahor is only now returning following a spell on the treatment table, John Carew has had injuries, the ‘flu and an argument with the manager if the papers are to be believed and Nathan Delfouneso has been forced to start, which perhaps shows their lack of options in front of goal.  Recent enquiries have been made by Houllier, in an attempt to solve this crisis, for Bafetimbi Gomis, but whether this will amount to much remains to be seen.

Should Villa gamble on young English or lower league talent?  Adel Taarabt is one rumour that could have some legs, but is he enough to satisfy the fans?  And what of Fabian Delph?  Although his step up to the bigtime has been steady, he appears more the enforcer at Villa Park rather than the creative spark they desperately need.  What fans would do for the next Dwight Yorke right now.  Or Marlon Harewood at the very least…

Chelsea have announced that Michael Emenalo will become the club's new assistant manager following Ray Wilkins' departure last week.

The Premier League champions allowed Wilkins to leave Stamford Bridge after his contract expired and the former Nigeria international has been handed the role to assist current head coach Carlo Ancelotti on a full-time basis.

Emenalo, 45, joined the club in 2007 under former manager Avram Grant and he has been promoted from his position as head opposition scout.

A statement on the club's official website read:"Chelsea football club is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Emenalo to the position of assistant first team coach. He moves up from his previous position of head opposition scout.

"Michael has been an important part of the first team management structure since his arrival in October 2007, and his promotion to assistant first team coach is recognition of his efforts to date.

Robbie Keane

A fairly obvious choice really, I simply feel that as he just isn’t being played at all there is no need to hold onto the player. It’s no longer even a case of if you think he’s a good player or not, although I do think he is no longer of Spurs quality having previously served the club extremely well. It is fairly obvious through the lack of time he has spent on the pitch that Harry Redknapp believes he’s no longer of the quality required, and that is what is more important. There is no point having a 30-year-old sitting on the bench constantly at any club, or sometimes not even making that. This is especially true when he is one of the highest paid players at the club. He needs to be shipped out to save on the Tottenham wage bill. Although it will probably be at a loss at least there are clubs out there that will pay money for Keane at the moment and they may not in the Summer after another six months of him not playing.

David Bentley

He was a costly mistake in my mind. I feel the main reason he has stuck around for so long at Tottenham is the club want to recuperate as much of what they spent on him as they can. As he has not been playing much this would obviously not be anywhere near the amount Spurs spent, therefore they may wish to hold on to him to get value out of him whilst getting rid of cheaper alternatives such as Kranjcar, which I think would be mistake. The best thing to do is just to take the financial loss with Bentley and move on. He doesn’t add that much to the team, is extremely slow and for essentially a squad player is not very versatile. The few times that he has been on the pitch this season he has done little to change my opinion of him.

Jamie O’Hara

I debated for a while which final player to have, as there are a fair few hanging on in Tottenham’s massive squad, but I still believe players like Dos Santos or Kranjcar can add something to the team either this season or next. So I settled on O’Hara, again he just doesn’t add anything to the squad. He has been injured for the majority of this season so far. So perhaps he is unfortunate not to have got a look in during the recent glut of injuries to central midfield. But Spurs have better options in central midfield to accompany Modric; Huddlestone Palacios and Jermaine Jenas (who has performed far better than I thought he was capable of in recent games, and because of that has avoided being on this list himself) are all higher in the pecking order. And now with Sandro arriving as the up and coming youngster in that role it’s hard to see where O’Hara will get a look in.

Walcott is an excellent player who does not realise it.

Theo Walcott is quite simply the Marmite Man of the Premier League! 50% of football fans think he has quality attributes, whilst 50% see him as nothing more than a player who has a decent turn of pace. If you’re an Arsenal fan, you may agree when I say that Theo Walcott strikes me as an incredibly talented player lacking in self-belief. As you will also read later in the article, Walcott compares very similarly to Gareth Bale this season, but with one fundamental difference…

I’d like to initially highlight what I think Walcott does well; the clear strengths of his game. Walcott has lightning pace, which I feel he relies on too much at times. I have no doubt that Walcott’s pace both with and without the ball is a superb attribute to have in what is an increasingly fast paced game. It is difficult to name any players who are quicker than Walcott in the Premier League. He shows maturity on the pitch, perhaps something that has been instilled since his move to Arsenal in 2006. Whilst I do not mind admitting I dislike Arsene Wenger in many ways, his ability to spot and nurture potential in young football players is sensational. Walcott is good in possession of the ball; showing he can confidently pass the ball and maintain possession in keeping with Arsenal’s style of play.

There are a few key aspects to Theo Walcott’s game which if improved would put him right up with the best wide players in the Premier League. Firstly, Walcott’s final pass lets him down; when you consider the number of excellent positions he can get himself into. Walcott is equally happy coming deeper to collect the ball and beat a player, or playing on the shoulder and bursting into space in the channels. What often follows such scenarios is a poorly placed final pass that results in the goal scoring opportunity being lost. I do believe that this is something Walcott is improving. Two assists in the 3-0 victory over West Ham at the weekend shows that he can be composed in the final third when it counts.

Similar to my previous point, Walcott at times seems to lack composure and belief in front of goal. When you consider his pace and ability to craft scoring opportunities, 15 goals in 100 games is not an outstanding record for a player like Walcott. You get the feeling that Walcott is always looking to play somebody else in, instead of adding a ‘selfish’ side to his game; one I feel would drastically improve his success in front of goal.

[divider]

[divider]

Whilst we could assess Walcott’s game in a deeper context, the main problem essentially comes down to one thing… consistency. The 21 year old can at times look unplayable, but can anyone honestly say that this happens anywhere near frequently enough? Walcott will follow an outstanding individual performance with a lackluster and frustrating performance; and I just wish we could see the best of Walcott week in week out. Whilst it may not be completely appropriate to compare Theo Walcott with Gareth Bale, the two players are expected to produce similar things. Both are expected to get chalk on their boots (play in wide positons). Both are expected to beat opposition full-backs and create chances in front of goal for themselves and others. Statistically in the Premier League, you can barely separate each of them this season. Walcott’s six goals are only one shy of Bale’s seven. Simiarly Walcott’s four assists are one better than Bale’s three this season.

However, one startling fact is that Walcott has played 1252 minutes LESS than Gareth Bale in this season’s Premier League. Considering the hype that has been made about Gareth Bale this season, the statistics show Walcott has has had an equally successful season having played an incredible 21 hours less football than Bale!

I do not think Walcott has reached his full potential yet, but I am an advocate of the fact that he could without doubt become the Premier League’s best and most threatening wide-man. I also think that so much is being made of Gareth Bale when he has achieved little more than Theo Walcott in this season’s Premier League. Granted, the hype surrounding Bale has also been based on his performances in the Champions League, but I do not think he is significantly better than Walcott, but simply has more belief in his own ability.

An injury-free Theo Walcott playing on a regular basis is something I cannot wait to see. I believe that Walcott will finish this season with better Premier League statistics than Gareth Bale, despite playing 21 hours less football. One thing is for certain; Southampton have produced and subsequently lost two of the most exciting wingers in the Premier League. Hopefully those who still think Theo Walcott is a waste of space can be persuaded to think otherwise!

So whose place on the bench will Steven Pienaar warm?

For the first time in many years Tottenham have a wealth of talented midfielders at their disposal to more than cover every position. It seems an extremely strange signing unless Pienaar has been brought in to pave the way for the departure of one of Spurs first team players?

Pienaar by all accounts seems a model professional who has performed well under the guidance of David Moyes to become an integral part of the Everton team. The player was out of contract at the end of the season and offers are thought to have been tabled from top European clubs, in addition to Spurs and Chelsea. With such interest, the player must have been given certain assurances by Redknapp that he would be given a starting role in the Spurs line-up. Which poses the question, for whom?

On the left Bale has become a key figure in the Spurs midfield, as has Modric who has been a revelation in the central midfield role this season. Lennon has been much preferred to Kranjcar and Bentley on the right and VDV has cemented his place off of the main striker. So unless Redknapp intends to have the smallest, most vulnerable central midfield partnership in the league it would seem someone from the first team will be on their way.

For me Pienaar is a great player but a return of 12 goals from 132 appearances from an attacking midfielder suggests he is not an adequate replacement for any of these first team players. Pienaar is only a marginal improvement on the promising players Spurs already have at their disposal to come off the bench like Kranjcar, Gio, Sandro and Townsend whose first-team chances will now be even more limited.

What are your thoughts, will Pienaar be a bench warmer or does his arrival pave the way for the highly anticipated exit of one of Spurs most valuable assets?
