Wolves stars pick their dream five-a-side teams

Matt Doherty and Adama Traore appeared on the Premier League’s YouTube channel this week to play some FIFA against one another.

Watching David Meyler commentate over two professionals playing FIFA for the umpteenth time isn’t the most engaging piece of content out there, but there was an interesting moment in the video.

The pair played the new Volta mode in FIFA 20, and that meant that they had to pick their dream five-a-side teams made up exclusively of Wolves players.

However, a twist meant that they couldn’t choose the same players twice, putting a very school playground ‘please don’t pick me last’ feel to the video.

You can see the two teams side by side above, and there are certainly some interesting picks.

Meyler did a poor job of enforcing his own rules as both men opted to choose Rui Patricio as their goalkeeper.

The Spaniard went for the unorthodox pairing of Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves at the back, while Doherty seemingly wanted a bit of pace as he chose Ruben Vinagre and himself.

Running the show in the midfield for Doherty was Romain Saiss, while Traore selected Joao Moutinho.

The Irishman picked Diogo Jota to lead his line.

Our poll asks you to name Traore’s best position, but it’s clear to see where he thinks he’s best utilised as he chooses to play himself up front in the game.

جوارديولا: هالاند لم يهدد مرمانا سوى مرة واحدة.. ولن ندافع في الإياب

يرى بيب جوارديولا مدرب مانشستر سيتي أن مرماهم لم يُهدد من بوروسيا دورتموند في مباراتهما أمس، إلا مرة واحدة فقط.

وتلاقى الفريقان في ذهاب ربع نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، حيث فاز مانشستر سيتي بهدفين مقابل هدف في ملعب الاتحاد. أهداف مباراة مانشستر سيتي وبوروسيا دورتموند

وقال جوارديولا في تصريحات نشرها الموقع الرسمي للنادي: “لقد حصل بوروسيا دورتموند على فرصة واحدة فقط، كانت من هالاند، تمريرة طويلة وتصدى إيدرسون بشكل لا يُصدق، ليس أكثر من ذلك”.

وأضاف: “بعدما تقدمنا بهدف، سيطرنا على المباراة بإيقاعنا، كان لـ فودين عدة فرص، إذا كنا قد تمكنا من تسجيل الأهداف في تلك اللحظة، لكانت المباراة مختلفة تمامًا”.

وواصل: “عندما أصبحت النتيجة 1-1 كان من الممكن أن يصيبنا الجنون، ولكن لم نفعل ذلك وفزنا في النهاية، لقد أعتقد الجميع أننا سنفوز، وكان لدينا التزام لا يُصدق ورغبة في المضي قدمًا”.

وأردف: “دائمًا ما أطلب من اللاعبين الفوز في المباريات، وسنواصل فعل ذلك في مباراة الإياب، لن نذهب إلى هناك لكي ندافع، بل لكي نسجل ونفوز”.

Liverpool fans show love for Adrian in reaction to his tweet

Adrian has reacted to a video posted by West Ham United on Twitter which shows him scoring the winning penalty in an FA Cup shoot-out against Everton in 2015.

The Spaniard stated that it was a “lovely night” and though some Hammers have shown love towards him, most of the reaction is from Liverpool fans adorning him with praise.

Many seem to love the fact the moment came against the Toffees, with one supporter suggesting he had the mindset of a Red even then.

The keeper was unexpectedly drafted into the starting line-up at the beginning of this season following injury to Alisson, and he has won over many fans with his performances, but despite that some still think his place is on the bench when Alisson is fit.

Nevertheless, some feel he is becoming a fan favourite at Anfield, and the following reactions show how much he is appreciated despite only joining in the summer.

الخطيب يرفض حضور اجتماع اتحاد الكرة ويتحفظ على عقوبة إمام عاشور

كشف مصدر خاص بالنادي الأهلي، النقاب عن رفض محمود الخطيب رئيس مجلس الإدارة حضور الاجتماع الذي دعا إليه اتحاد الكرة على خلفية أزمة مباراة قمة الشباب أمام الزمالك، وهو ما أدى إلى صدور قرار بتأجيل الجلسة الى إشعار آخر.

وأوضح المصدر لـ بطولات أن الخطيب يرى أن العقوبات التي خرجت من جانب اتحاد الكرة ومعها قرار الاستئناف ليست رادعة قياسًا لما أقدم عليه عاشور وزملائه.

وأشار إلى أن إرساء قيم الروح الرياضية والأخلاق يأتي قبل المنافسة على البطولات وهو ما دفع الخطيب لرفض حضور الاجتماع من الأساس ليضطر مسئولو الجبلاية الى الإعلان عن تأجيل الجلسة.

وتحفظ رئيس الأهلي على فكرة الاجتماع في ظل حالة الغضب العارمة تجاه تجاوزات لاعبي الزمالك خاصة إمام عاشور، ورد فعل مسئولي نادي الزمالك بعدها، خاصة أن التصرفات التي قام بها اللاعب جاءت في حق النادي ورموزه دون مبرر.

Spurs fans are split over whether the club should have signed Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish is a topic of discussion for some Spurs fans following his impressive start to life back in the Premier League.

The club has been linked with the midfielder as recently as March, and that is what the supporters have been reminded of. Judging by the reactions of some they are disappointed he didn’t join, as they have liked what they’ve seen.

However, there is some difference of opinion between supporters, with others saying he wouldn’t change the team much nor turn around their current fortunes, and therefore he isn’t worth thinking about.

The Villa man is likely a talking point now because of the performance he put in at the weekend against Brighton, while Tottenham continue to falter against bottom-of-the-table Watford.

He helped turn the game around with a goal and an assist, continuing to act as a talisman just as he did last season when he had a big hand in the club’s promotion, with six goals and seven assists in the Championship.

If he continues his current level of displays he could be in with a chance of making the England squad – with Gareth Southgate casting an eye over him at the weekend – and Spurs could live to regret their failure to sign the 24-year-old.

Nevertheless, some sections of the fanbase are still to be convinced by him, though the reactions have very much been mixed, as seen below.

طلب خاص من لاعبي ليفربول قبل مواجهة ريال مدريد في دوري أبطال أوروبا

وأوضحت أن طلب ليفربول تمثل في رفع الموسيقى داخل ملعب الأنفيلد في محاولة لخلق الأجواء، في ظل غياب الجماهير بسبب استمرار جائحة كورونا.

Leeds fans panicking over Eddie Nketiah’s future after Marcelo Bielsa’s comments

We might now have officially reached ‘panic stations’ amongst the Leeds United fan base.

The Patrick Bamford v Eddie Nketiah debate really kicked up another notch this week after the latter’s late equaliser against Preston North End but by the sounds of it, it doesn’t look as if boss Marcelo Bielsa is ready to make that change just yet.

Speaking in his press conference ahead of their game with Sheffield Wednesday, Bielsa revealed that Bamford would indeed be starting yet again for the Whites, and that didn’t sit well with the supporters.

With Championship rivals Bristol City pushing for him to be recalled by parent club Arsenal and sent to them on loan, fans fear that more minutes on the bench for Nketiah is just going to push him further and further towards Ashton Gate.

Indeed City boss Lee Johnson confirmed earlier this week that they would be interested in looking at January if ‘the situation changes’, likely referring to whether or not Nketiah will stay at Elland Road.

And many Leeds fans thought that this was likely to be one more nail in the coffin of Nketiah’s time in Yorkshire, with some already predicting that he’s going to come back and bite them later in the season.

Leeds contract update is a bit of a mixed bag

This article is part of Football FanCast’s Pundit View series, which provides opinion and analysis on recent quotes from journalists, pundits, players and managers…

As the January transfer window beckons, fans become more and more excited about the prospect of new arrivals at their club.

However, they also have to keep one eye on potential departures as players’ contracts enter the final few months before they’re able to move for free.

Leeds United have a number of key players whose contracts expire next summer, but we have just been given an insight into the club’s priorities when it comes to getting these deals done.

What’s been said then?

In a Q&A session for Leeds Live. Beren Cross revealed where Leeds currently are in terms of negotiating new contracts for four of their current playing staff. He said:

“Klich is the next one to be signed off. There is intent to get something done for Pablo too. Berardi seems to be the last man standing when it comes to 2020 expiry dates. Not heard anything on Alioski.”

Mixed bag

This update is a real mixed bag.

The fact that Mateusz Klich is seemingly set to be signed to a new deal is great news as he’s started every single league game under Marcelo Bielsa and is creating the highest number of opportunities, 2.3 each outing.

Likewise, hearing that the club are wanting to get Pablo Hernandez tied down to a new deal is a promising development as the two-time Player of the Year winner is arguably the Whites’ most important player – something elevated by their run of just two wins from their previous five matches when he’s been out injured.

However, his updates on Ezgjan Alioski and Gaetano Berardi paint a more glum future as their situations don’t look like being resolved in the near future.

With rumours circulating that Ben White could be on his way back to Brighton, it may be key to get Berardi signed onto a new deal, and with Alioski becoming Bielsa’s first-choice left-back in recent weeks, tying him down to updated terms could be equally important.

All in all, this is a mixed bag, and only time will tell what happens with all four of these players.

Man Utd fans can’t believe Angel Gomes continues to be ignored by Solskjaer

When you’ve only scored 13 goals in your opening 11 Premier League games this season, surely you would be constantly racking your brains of new ways of helping to change that?

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen his side dramatically under-perform since their 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea in their opening league game of the campaign, and Saturday afternoon’s 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth simply reinforced that.

The Red Devils looked toothless in attack, with only Fred managing to create one big chance in the game according to Sofascore. The man who played in the number ten role meanwhile, Andreas Pereira, could only muster up one key pass.

So with their side devoid of any real creativity, United fans flooded to Twitter to vent their frustrations at seeing 19-year-old Angel Gomes continue to be overlooked by Solskjaer.

Many supporters of the Manchester side revealed they are stunned that the likes of Pereira and Jesse Lingard continue to be the United boss’ main men, and insisted Gomes is far better than the duo.
