Olympique Marseille’s Murky Future
It was almost impossible to ignore the 2014-15 iteration of Olympique Marseille for a number of reasons. Whether it was manager Marcelo Bielsa telling the press not even two months into the job that he had an opt out clause after one season in his two year contract, whether it was the attractive, vibrant football that made…

The Face
The staff here at Every Day is Zlatan Day are proud to present our latest project: #BrendanWeek with a daily post all this week dedicated to Liverpool’s umm… eccentric manager. The man, the myth, the legend himself (just ask him). Whether it’s been his run-ins with other managers or the incessant myth making he creates…

C.R.E.A.M: Featuring Raheem Sterling
If you have been living under a rock this season, Raheem Sterling and Liverpool have been “discussing” a wage increase for a new contract. I put the word discussing in quotes because it’s more resembled a couple yelling at each other over who was the one who forgot to pick up the kid at school.…

Yoann Gourcuff: A Tortured Prodigy
Let’s take a trip back to August of 2010: it was just over a month since France self combusted in the World Cup unlike any country in recent memory, the 2010-11 Ligue 1 season was about to begin and one of the young members from that disgraceful French squad was about to start his new…

Lyon 1-1 PSG: The Slowing Down of a Kamikaze
When PSG and Lyon played in the Parc de Prince early in the season, Lyon didn’t look anywhere near the electrifying presence they’ve came to be. Floundering in 12th place in Ligue 1, there was just an odd feeling to watching Lyon. If Alexandre Lacazette wasn’t scoring, then attacking wise, there was nothing else that Lyon…

Zlatan, Zlatan: Where Art Thou Zlatan
Note: The radars used in this piece were created by Ted Knuston and Sami Hernia We make no bones about the following: We at the blog love Zlatan Ibrahimovic. We love his eccentricity, we love that he goes into third person when it comes to the notion of tryouts. We love that there’s a #DaretoZlatan campaign and he’s…

The Intrigue that is Alexandre Lacazette
As of this moment, the top three players in non penalty goals this season in the five European leagues are Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and — wait for it… Alexandre Lacazette. The first two names are obvious, as it’s been almost unanimously established by everyone in football that both Messi and Ronaldo are aliens and…

A New Home for the Former Next Messi
At the time it was quite shocking to hear that Bojan Krkic signed a long term deal with Stoke City. The shocking part wasn’t necessarily that Bojan wanted long term security contract wise, just that it was… well with Stoke. By now you’ve familiar with the story of the player once thought to be the…

Arsenal 0 Man United 2: Arsenal Schadenfreude is Never Ending
Admittedly the title is mixing in a couple tablespoons of sensationalism, something more appropriate for the Daily Mail and other English tabloids. Arsenal on the whole were better, whether through the eye test or through Expected goal models. One could look at that game and conclude very rationally that it was just a one off,…

Ligue 1 Roundup: Week 14
The international break is upon us, which means that there’ll once again be a two week hiatus from European domestic football. Ligue 1 has gone through 13 match days so far in the 2014-15 season and Marseille’s lead at the top is only by a single point. Only four points separate 1st from 4th, exciting…
