In his latest column, Adam Bate examines why Jeremy Doku has exceeded Pep Guardiolas expectations at Man City, how Dominik Szoboszlai is changing Liverpool, Xabi Alonsos impact at Bayer Leverkusen and Plymouth Argyles use of substitutes…
Germany would no doubt love to have appointed Klopp as their national team manager following Hansi Flick's departure but he is not ready to end his Liverpool adventure just yet. When he does, Xabi Alonso is likely to be near the top of the list to replace him.
Alonso was something of a gamble for Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes. Three seasons coaching Real Sociedad B in Spain's lower leagues provided some clues but visiting Rolfes in Leverkusen earlier this year, he explained the logic behind it.."Always concentrated on his work, always thinking about how we can improve and solve situations. That was obvious. He understands the game. I was convinced that we would improve with him.
What is happening on the pitch is that Leverkusen have made a thrilling start to the season, winning six of their first seven games in all competitions while averaging more than four goals per game. The only match they have not won was a 2-2 draw away to Bayern. Luke Cundle's 97th-minute goal in Plymouth's 6-2 win over Norwich on Saturday, his second as a substitute this season, was incidental to the outcome but it was just the latest example of a trend that was one of the features of their promotion-winning campaign.Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship match between Plymouth Argyle and Norwich City
