I would say 43 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 4: maybe the most complicated board of the season so far, 44 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 4: because the injuries coming back from international break point deductions, 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 4: all sorts of. 46 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Chaos to sift through. 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 4: But that's what we're here for, and that's what we're 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 4: gonna do, and we'll start with the headliner between Manchester 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 4: City and Liverpool. This is at the YETI had City 50 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 4: minus one forty three and odds on favorite Liverpool traveling 51 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 4: at plus three thirty three and the draw is plus 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: three twenty bj. I think that, like, if you had 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 4: to choose a side here, you probably lean towards the underdog. 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree for me though. I think it's 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: a very very interesting tactical matchup and one that I 56 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: think is more exciting to live bet than play aside 57 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: pre match, So just setting all the injury stuff aside, 58 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 3: because there are a lot of guys that are questionable 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: to play here for City. If all of them play, 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: I'm very interested to see what Pep's approach is because 61 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 3: his approach against Chelsea was incredibly aggressive. He was essentially 62 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: pressing with a front five and Chelsea was consistently playing 63 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: through that first line of pressure and creating those transitional moments. 64 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 3: Now he wants to try to do that against Liverpool. 65 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 3: There's not a better transition team in the world right 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 3: now than Liverpool, so they are going to get ripped 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: apart if they try to do that. Now, we could 68 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: also see the approach that Pep has gone with against 69 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: teams like Arsenal, where he has played very passive, tried 70 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: to cut off central progression and force teams out wide. Now, 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: from the aspect of what does Liverpool potentially do out 72 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 3: of possession, I think it's very interesting. Chelsea from the 73 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: get go was like City, you're not playing through the 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: center of the pitch. They closed it off and then 75 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: but City kept trying to play through there. City what 76 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: they're running into right now because john Stones hasn't been 77 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: healthy is because when they try to build up, they 78 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: like to push that center back into the middle of 79 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: the pitch. Well, Kanji was playing that role against Chelsea 80 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: and he just wasn't as good at that role as 81 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: john Stones was. So City obviously got forward and transitioned 82 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 3: a couple of times, created a couple of big chances, 83 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: and they could do that here against Liverpool because if 84 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 3: Liverpool decides, which they usually do, to invert Trent Alexander 85 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 3: Arnold in the middle of the pitch when they build up, 86 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 3: that's going to leave a lot of space out wide 87 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: for somebody like Doku to cause a ton of problems. 88 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 3: Now I'm going to be potentially looking at playing a 89 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 3: live over here, depending on what City tries to do. 90 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: If they play more aggressively, I think that will create 91 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: a lot more chaos. It also kind of depends obviously 92 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: who's going to be playing for City. Holland is obviously questionable, 93 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: Aka is questionable, Edison is questionable. So if all of 94 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: those guys don't play, then it makes it harder, especially 95 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: if Holland's out to play and over. But if they 96 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: do play, and especially if Doku plays on the left, 97 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 3: Qunat is questionable for Liverpool, which is going to leave 98 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 3: a lot of open space for Doku to go one 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: on one against somebody like Joel Matty, which is going 100 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 3: to be a very difficult matchup for Liverpool. So I'll 101 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: be potentially looking at it live over here if we 102 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: get a lot of chaos at the beginning, and then maybe, 103 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: you know, we get a couple of big chances and 104 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: teams are playing aggressively, try to hop in and a 105 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: live over. But outside of that, for me, I think 106 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: the line is right pre match, so I'll be passing 107 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: on it. It just really depends. I don't really know 108 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: what Pep's gonna do. Is he gonna play aggressively or 109 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: is he going to go back to game control And 110 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 3: I think we need to watch that and figure it 111 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 3: out before we can make a bet on it. 112 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: I think it's much more likely that he tries to 113 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: dial it back a little bit. Yeah, but that doesn't 114 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 2: mean it's going to work. Right. We've seen Guardiola and 115 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: they seem to have one or two of those early 116 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: season games every year, the Newcastle game last year and 117 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: this year you know it being the Chelsea game with 118 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: you know, six expected goals in that match and eight 119 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: actual goals. But I think Liverpool is going to be 120 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: much healthier slash available now right. They had to play 121 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: a makeshift midfield against Brentford. They were not great in 122 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: that match. I know they've they won it three zero, 123 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: but if you look at final xgu was one point 124 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: seven to one point six. Brentford took sixteen shots in 125 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: that game. I know there were a couple like close 126 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: off side calls that hurt Liverpool as well, but I 127 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: thought the Bees were very dangerous and I think I 128 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: thought it came down to just Liverpool not having the 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: ball stopping in the midfield. And we talked about this, 130 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: like McAllistair will be back from suspension. It looks like 131 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: graven Burke is going to play and so the bush 132 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: Slye Jones may also be back. Conant is questionable. So 133 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: there are a couple question marks. But I do think 134 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: Liverpool will have their first choice three that they've been 135 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: rolling with lately, which is Sobo and McAllister and gravenburg available. 136 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 2: So certainly Liverpool, you know, close to full strength here 137 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: been playing Nunya's up top, which has been I think 138 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: his best position. I think their best three attackers in 139 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: this in the space are you know, Nunya's Saw and DS, 140 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: so you know whether it's him or Jota. I think 141 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: you know, Liverpool's kind of finding its best lineup. And 142 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: if you just look at non penalty expected goal difference 143 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: this year in eleven on eleven minutes only, they have 144 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: been about even teams this year. There's not been a 145 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 2: huge gap between the two of them. Liverpool is plus 146 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: one point three seven City plus one point four to five, 147 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 2: and you could squint a little bit and kind of 148 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 2: pick nits at City's numbers against the fellow top teams. 149 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: They haven't really had like a dominant performance against a 150 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: fellow Big six opponent outside of the derby against United, 151 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: which you know we don't think much of them, so 152 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: you could pick Nits. I have City one thirty six 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: here it's assuming Hollins and of course so I don't 154 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: really have a strong opinion on the side here, but 155 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 2: I would you know, lean just toward Liverpool based on 156 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: the fact that Liverpool, for me, their ceiling is still 157 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: right there with City. 158 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: One thing I'll also say about Liverpool is we haven't 159 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: really seen them at full strength against an elite team 160 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: because if you remember, they obviously were down a man 161 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 3: against Newcastle, down two man against against Tottenham. The last 162 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: match where they've played essentially in what you would call 163 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 3: in a top six side would have been Brighton at Brighton, 164 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: which ended up being a very even to too draw. 165 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: Since then, they were up man against Everton and dominated them. 166 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 3: They beat Nottingham Forrest, they drew Withlwtontown but created almost 167 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: three extracted goals, and then obviously beat Brentford over the 168 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: weekend before the international breaks. So it'll be very interesting 169 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 3: to see what Liverpool looks like against one of these 170 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: elite teams. So and then it'll be a good litanus test. 171 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: Now coming up, they'd have a pretty easy schedule, you know, Fulham, 172 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: Sheffield United, Palace, but then they got United in Arsenal 173 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: and then the reverse fixture against Newcastle around the festive 174 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: fixture times. So this will be a very very good 175 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: litus test comparatively to those matches to see how good 176 00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 3: Liverpool actually is. 177 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: Yet one point separating these two teams in the table 178 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 4: coming back from the international break, and as BJ alluded to, 179 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 4: we are about to head into the busiest time of 180 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: year for soccer teams, players, fans, betters, et cetera. So 181 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 4: get your betting boots on. 182 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: I imagine I will be betting Liverpool to win the league 183 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 2: if they lose this game. 184 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 3: Stop. 185 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: Okay, I think we're gonna get like ten to one. 186 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to be in Well, we'll see, 187 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:31,839 Speaker 2: we'll see how Saturday goes. 188 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: There, you have it, well, I mean it's a lot 189 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: of fun about your favorite team, right. 190 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, right like this Every year, every year we hear 191 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 4: this song and dance from Anthony about his boys Newcastle 192 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 4: and Chelsea. Now we'll save that conversation for after the 193 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: game that Anthony is hypothetically talking about Newcastle plus one 194 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 4: fifty at home Chelsea plus one sixty two the jaw 195 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 4: plus two sixty Every team save for like three in 196 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: the Premier League are just the walking wounded right now. 197 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 4: Maybe Newcastle has the worst and Chelsea's not that far behind, 198 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: but Chelsea's been dealing with a lot of the injuries 199 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 4: that they're still dealing with all season, So all things 200 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 4: being equal, I would have loved I would love to 201 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: bet Newcastle on the spot at home, Chelsea kind of 202 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 4: riding high after that to performance a Fortnite ago, so 203 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: decent cell high opportunity with the way that they the 204 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: Blues have been going. But it's it's really hard to 205 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 4: bet Newcastle here because I just who's gonna play for 206 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 4: this team? Antony, like, who who's who's gonna play for that? 207 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: Are we overrating the injuries now? 208 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 4: I think we are because it's when they're when no, 209 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 4: when they're if it's like one or two guys, I 210 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 4: actually think you you both will talk about like one 211 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 4: or two guys too much and we can get into overrating. 212 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 4: But when it's a cluster, it becomes a whole different thing. 213 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: Like I think one off injuries are are very different 214 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: from eleven people who are dealing with right right, But. 215 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: They are getting some positive news here, right, so like 216 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: Esac might be back, and absolutely that's true. Like the 217 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: market I think doesn't even go as far. Like you know, 218 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: the Newcastle was minus one thirty five forty and then 219 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: you know last week at Bourne, myth and the market 220 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: just kept going and going and going because the injury 221 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: news just kept getting worse. Wilson was out, Esoch wasn't 222 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: going to be back. They ended up starting just like 223 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: a really bad soccer team, yep, right, and got out played. 224 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: But now Bruno is back from suspension. We know that 225 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: al Marona trending toward playing, Esch trending toward playing like 226 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: that's kind of enough for me to buy in again 227 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: because that's like the best midfooter on the team. 228 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: That's enough for you. If they if they play, or 229 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: just the fact that. 230 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 2: If they play, like I'm going to I'm not betting now, 231 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 2: right because right now, you know we're recording this Tuesday afternoon. 232 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: The market has clearly downgraded them, yep, right off of 233 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: these injuries, and there's a chance that the market has 234 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: gone too far. And then I want to actually bet 235 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 2: on Newcastle. I mean that being said, I don't really 236 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: want to bet against Chelsea right now because I think 237 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: they're quickly improving. They're figuring it out, you know, kind 238 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: of more so, they're quickly improving, which is just that 239 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: the shots are going in the net now instead of 240 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: missing the net. But yeah, I mean, I think there's 241 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: something to be said that Chelsea has once again turned 242 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: in one of their best performances of the season against 243 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: a fellow Big Six team who wants to go at them. 244 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: But that's not really Newcastle in a sense, Like Newcastle's 245 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: not gonna want the possession of the ball. They will press, 246 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: so you know they're gonna you know, two of the 247 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: best pressing teams I think in the league right now, 248 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: two of the three best with Arsenal Newcastle Chelsea, so 249 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 2: you know that'll be interesting. But I mean, think about 250 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: how crazy this line is given what we just saw. 251 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: Like two weeks ago, we all said it's ridiculous that 252 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: Newcastle is a home dog to Arsenal. Now Newcastle's like 253 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 2: a home pick them to Chelsea. Yeah, you know, I 254 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: mean I've downgraded Arsenal, I've upgraded Chelsea, but I'm not 255 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: that close on those two teams. So I think there's 256 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 2: something to you said for you know, waiting and seeing 257 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: and maybe grabbing some Newcastle. Yeah, I don't think the press, 258 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: like Chelsea's pretty press resistant, so that's worth something to them. 259 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: They've been pretty good and build up. But Newcastle's injuries, 260 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: like if Esac can't go, they just don't have a 261 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: striker right at the club who can play that position, 262 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: And if al Moron can't go, they don't really have 263 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: wingers outside of Anthony Gordon either, So now there like 264 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 2: is lever Mento gonna play wing or that's the gast. 265 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: To play left back because Lewis Hall can't face Chelsea right. 266 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: So there's all kinds of questions. But I do think 267 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: that if you start to see good news on Esac 268 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: and Amron that I would be closer to betting Newcastle 269 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: at home here than betting Chelsea, but probably gonna end 270 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: up passing this one overall. 271 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, so another one is shar who is 272 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: also questionable because if he doesn't play, then Newcastle has 273 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: no depth at center back because Dan Byrne is also out. 274 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 3: Because Dan burr can very easily sought into that center 275 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 3: back role where he's usually playing as left back, but 276 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: he's also out, so for me, it's e Shoch and 277 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: Shar are the most important too. If both of those 278 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: guys play, and even how Almoran plays as well, it's 279 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 3: not that far off from Newcastle's usual starting eleven that 280 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: they would normally play against one of the normal Premier 281 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: League side. So yeah, I agree with Anthony. It's wait 282 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: and see. Newcastle has been a little more passive out 283 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 3: of possession. They're not just relentlessly pressing with their normal 284 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 3: four to three three. They would switched to a four 285 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: or five to one try to limit that central progression 286 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 3: and press more out of a mid block. It's been 287 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: pretty successful, so I don't think you will see Chelsea 288 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: be able to play through the press like they were 289 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 3: able to when City was very aggressive against them. Plus, 290 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: this is Newcastle at home. They have one of the 291 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 3: best home field advantages in the Premier League and they've 292 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: been one of the best home teams in England for 293 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: a long time now, So yeah, it'd be Newcastle pick 294 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: them for me. If both Shak and Shar play, that 295 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 3: will be massive for them, and I think it's good 296 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 3: enough to bet Newcastle how to pick them. 297 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting conundrum, the classic No, you know that if 298 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: the injury news is good, particularly on Eshak, like this 299 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: number will move towards Yeah, you'll want to beat the market, 300 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: but at the same time we could be looking at 301 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: a situation like Anthony said, where they just don't have 302 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: anyone to finish chances and they turn into Chelsea of October, 303 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 4: not to Burnley and west Ham now. So so those 304 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 4: first two matches we talked about obviously are big for 305 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 4: that big picture Premier League. This one I think is 306 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 4: sneaky important for both teams. I know that that west 307 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 4: Ham is pretty comfortable where they're sitting on the table 308 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: on seventeen points and clear of relegation relegation issues, but 309 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 4: with the way that they've been going this season, you 310 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 4: do have to wonder, like how many more like downturns 311 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 4: and form they can handle with Without David Moy's really 312 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: starting to feel the pressure. You started to feel it 313 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: a bit in the early going. They get the win 314 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 4: over Noddingham Forest going into the international break to stop 315 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 4: a three match losing streak. Meanwhile, Burnley they're propping the 316 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: table up at the moment, so they just need this 317 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 4: win for safety purposes, and I actually don't think that 318 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 4: in a Claret and Blue Derby here that the Clarets 319 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 4: Burnley are all that off putting as a bet here, 320 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 4: I think plus two seventy five at home coming off 321 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 4: an international break playing a still overraided west Ham team 322 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 4: not terrible. That the tactical stuff still is a concern 323 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 4: with Burnley, and I think playing a David Moy's side 324 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 4: in their style is a little concerning. But I think 325 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 4: this is a pretty good by low spot on Burnley 326 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 4: BJ I. 327 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: Think it is too. I hate this match so much 328 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 3: because I've been very anti Burnley for a long time now. 329 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 3: Both the prices on west Ham are getting crazy. They 330 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: should never have been, like we mentioned, they never should 331 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 3: have been minus one twenty five at home against Nottingham Forests, 332 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 3: and you know the goals that they scored were you know, 333 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 3: a little bit. You know, the first goal they scored 334 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: was Demingas just kicked the ball off his own defender 335 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 3: and Poketa just went in and scored, and then they 336 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: scored off a set piece. But this is the TIMEE 337 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 3: match though, I think Burnley can actually be successful. Where 338 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 3: Burnley has struggled is against teams that will press them high. 339 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: They're not good enough to build to play, they can 340 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 3: constantly turn it over and that's when you see them 341 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 3: conceding two three expected goals. They've actually been the matches 342 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: where they've actually gotten points. They've been against teams like 343 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 3: Lowtontown and Nottingham Forest, which plays very similar style to 344 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: that of west Ham. And for west Ham, it's also 345 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,719 Speaker 3: concerning who's actually going to start up top for them 346 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 3: because Antonio has been out, so they started Jaring Bow 347 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: up top, which was pretty successful, but now he is 348 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 3: questionable to play, So is it going to be Kudus? 349 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 3: Is it going to be Keita? Who's actually going to 350 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 3: start up top here? For west Ham? And I thought 351 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 3: Burnley against Arsenal for large stretches, you know, they went, 352 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 3: but Vincent Company kind of switched them into a good 353 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: defensive block team. They were cutting off central progression, they 354 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 3: weren't trying to press Arsenal and they were doing a 355 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: very good job of it for pretty large stretches. You know, 356 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 3: Arsenal got into two v ones in wide areas, but 357 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: Burnley was okay with that as long as they weren't 358 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 3: able to play through the center of the pitch. And 359 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 3: Arsenal sto obviously scored off a set piece and that's 360 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: where Burnley's kind of struggled as well, which is a 361 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 3: concern here against west Ham. But yeah, I mean west 362 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 3: Ham is a road favorite at minus well five. I 363 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 3: know it's Burnley and I know they've been terrible, but man, 364 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 3: that's too high for west Ham. So I am projecting 365 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: a little bit of value on Burnley, but the market 366 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 3: keeps moving towards west Ham. So I'm gonna wait and 367 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 3: see if we can get maybe a better price here 368 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: on Burnley, which I think we might be able to 369 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 3: closer to match time. So it'd be Burnley plus a 370 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: half for me, but I'd keep waiting and see if 371 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 3: you can maybe get them at a plus number for 372 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 3: plus a half. 373 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, is Antonio addition by subtraction? 374 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: It's out of possession stuff that I think really makes 375 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 3: them a little bit better as opposed to a guy. 376 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: Like Kudu's right, But here's the thing, like, so you 377 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 2: know what they did instead of playing Antonio was just 378 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: at another midfielder and it's like the least functional midfield 379 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: in the prem right now. Yeap, So check like gets 380 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: you some set piece stuff and win some headers, but 381 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: he's not on the ball. Ever he doesn't pass and 382 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: he's not even really a great ball winner anymore, Like 383 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 2: he's taking a step back there. Alvarez is never on 384 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: the ball, never passes. Ward Prowse is like had the 385 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: most touches in the game against Naniam Forest, but he 386 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: didn't do anything with them except the set piece stuff, 387 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: which again, like west Ham is a really difficult team 388 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: right now, because yes they're elite on set pieces. They 389 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 2: scored twice on set pieces against Donningham Forrest, and it's 390 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 2: really painful when you're sweating a dog against this west 391 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: Ham team and they just keep trying to get corners. 392 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm not even trying to score, They're just trying to 393 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: get corners. And it was evident in the game against 394 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: Forrest that you know, eventually they got one and they 395 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: scored and then they won three two in a game 396 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: that you know, both teams had nineteen penalty touches in 397 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: the box. There was really no difference between the two 398 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 2: teams in terms of shots or volume. Bowen being out though, 399 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: like he is their best like shot getter, so if 400 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: he's out then they're really stuck because Poketa, you know, 401 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: he plays more out wide. He's their best creator, but 402 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: if he gets stuck out wide and they have this 403 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 2: really non functional midfield, the attack can get kind of 404 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: ugly for west Ham and that's why I'm really down 405 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: on them, and I am also tempted by Burnley in 406 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: this spot as well. The market had downgraded them a 407 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 2: good bit by my numbers, but they're taking money here, 408 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 2: so now I'm tempted to hop in as well. 409 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 4: Another barn Burner here, Looton Town hosting Crystal Palace, The 410 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 4: Hatter plus two sixty, Palace plus one ten and the 411 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 4: Draw plus two thirty. Not too much we need to 412 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 4: get into here, Anthony En, don't think it's a pass 413 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: for me. It looks like a pass across the board. 414 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 2: I mean tempted by the under just like anytime you 415 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 2: see Palace Road favorite. Newton have been an active out 416 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 2: of possession team. They haven't been completely run over even 417 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 2: with SA and at least say, you know, bit bitting 418 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 2: back into the betting back into the team, like they're 419 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: still not creating a Ton like the Everton match was 420 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: kind of wonky and how it progressed because there were 421 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: two goals in the first five minutes, but large touches 422 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: of that match. There wasn't a ton going on. You know, 423 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: they finished with one point five non pen XG. It 424 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: was it was fine. But you know, I just think 425 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: that anytime you get Palace as a road favorite there, 426 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: you're gonna automatically just tilt toward like probably nothing happens 427 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 2: in this match, but number being as low as it is, 428 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 2: I can't really get there on it. So yeah, this 429 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: is pa for me. 430 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: Uh Forrest now and that was a tough one. 431 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, last episode against west Ham. 432 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: So yep, that was tough. 433 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 4: But now they're an underdog and now they're at home. 434 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 4: They're they're two to one hosting Brighton and Whole Valve 435 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 4: Beyond and we're coming in a plus one twenty. The 436 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 4: draw here is plus two seventy five. I know, we 437 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: like Forrest at home and we prefer them obviously when 438 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 4: they're they're an underdog, and it's been ages since Brighton 439 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 4: have won a game. But you know what, one of 440 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 4: the early rallying cries of this podcast BJ, which you'll remember, 441 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 4: is it's it's by low Brighton, right, and I think 442 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: that that's the time, this is the time to do it. Yep, they, 443 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 4: like I said, they when's the last time they won 444 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: a match they've got it's been. 445 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 2: Not counting the Europa League, it's been over a month. 446 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's Europe. 447 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 4: So their last win was in the Europa League on 448 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: October twenty sixth. 449 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, they beat I, right, so. 450 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: Maybe I X twice right born So their last win 451 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 4: in the Premier League September twenty fourth. 452 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 2: Also known as the last time I bet against them? 453 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: Boy? 454 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 2: No, I think I did bet against them one other time. 455 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 4: So it's it's been ugly. But the defensive numbers have 456 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 4: really approved. They have approved. 457 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean, look, it was never realistic to 458 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 2: expect them to continue in the Premier League, putting up 459 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 2: the ridiculous XG that they were and the ridiculous expected 460 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 2: goals allowed, Like there was always going to be some 461 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: natural regression. But I think Deserve has really dialed it back. Now. 462 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: You could argue that when you're playing Fulham and Sheffield 463 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: that's not necessarily the plus EV way to play. They 464 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: ruined our boy, but I think that in this spot, 465 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 2: like off the break, the fact that Brighton's only plus 466 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: one twenty five here is a little cheap for me. 467 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: I'm a little worried. Ferguson picked up a thigh injury. 468 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 2: Is he and is he gonna play in this? I'm 469 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: not so sure. 470 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: But they're so deep if you think about like the 471 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: death that they have and the way they're gonna play. 472 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 3: They're gonna they can play Pedro, they can play anti 473 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 3: Fatty well Beck's out. 474 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: Too, like it's it is a little jerky, but with 475 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: with well Beeck and Ferguson out because they don't have 476 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: a natural like striker striker. I like Pedro, I like 477 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 2: obviously love Fati. They get decent shot numbers for midfielders. 478 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 2: I don't think either of them are striker strikers. So 479 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: you know, I have to go to Forest a team 480 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 2: who's going to play very similarly to what you know 481 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,719 Speaker 2: Sheffield just did, but better. I don't know. It's all 482 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 2: at tempting. 483 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think why you're seeing the defensive numbers 484 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 3: increase and why Brighton's struggle is because the playbook is 485 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 3: out on them. Just don't take the bait. They want 486 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 3: to bait you into pressing. If you don't take the bait, 487 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: then they have kind of struggled. And what Deservey wants 488 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 3: to do, he wants to play through the middle of 489 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 3: the pitch because recently he's been bringing Matoma and a 490 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 3: Drinka inside and essentially been playing a four to two 491 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 3: to two two in build up and just trying to 492 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: find that space in between the lines, essentially playing like 493 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 3: Anthony said, two midfielders so that they can come back 494 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 3: and exploit that space and try to find ways through. 495 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,360 Speaker 3: And they were able to do that with the first 496 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 3: goal against Jeffield United, but from that point on they 497 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 3: did struggle with central progression and that is something that 498 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: they could struggle with here. But you know, the defensive 499 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 3: numbers have increased because they're keeping so many people in 500 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 3: the middle of the pitch and they're able to stop 501 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 3: those transition attacks to the middle because if you remember 502 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 3: in the past, Brighton was building up in a four 503 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: to two four, so they were trying to exploit one 504 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 3: on ones with Matoma and guys out wide and do 505 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 3: the overlaps obviously with a stupid on, but nobody was 506 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 3: in the middle of the pitch and they got exploited 507 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 3: through the middle. Well, now teams aren't able to do that, 508 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: and I think one reason for that now Lewis dunk 509 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 3: is going to miss this match, so that's obviously massive. 510 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 3: He's their best defender. But John Paul van Hecke has 511 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: been incredible in the last few starts for them. When 512 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: he's played, they're only lying around one expected goal for 513 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 3: ninety and it's no Quinconce. He's come into the team 514 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: recently and I think they've finally found that replacement for 515 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 3: Levi Colewell. They were missing drastically in the beginning of 516 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 3: the season and from a price perspective, so this is 517 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: very interesting. Here's a question for you guys. How closely 518 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 3: rated do you think Aston Villa or Brighton are or 519 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: do you think one team is clearly better than the other. 520 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 2: Brighton's marginally right, Yeah, I've downgraded them, but so largely better. 521 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. So Aison Villa was minus one ten at Nottingham 522 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 3: Forest a couple of weeks ago. Now we're getting Brighton 523 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 3: at plus one twenty. 524 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 2: I also bet Forrest in that game. Yeah, I think 525 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 2: you all did. 526 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 3: That's the point here is that, yes, Brighton has struggled 527 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 3: in these type of scenarios, but they definitely have the 528 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 3: attacking prowess and the ability to play through and the 529 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 3: defense numbers have been better and Forrest offense, it's just 530 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 3: one transition attack and that's it basically, because against all 531 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 3: of the good teams this season, they've I think Arsenal is 532 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 3: the only team where they've actually created over one expected goal. 533 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 3: So I don't think Forrest is going to get much 534 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 3: here transition. So it just comes down to ken Brighton 535 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: break down this little block a couple of times and 536 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 3: maybe get a goal in. So the sharp play would 537 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: probably also be under two and a half as well 538 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 3: at plus money just because of recent results. But I 539 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: really think that the price here on Brighton is far 540 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 3: too cheap at plus one twenty Sheffield United. 541 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 4: How about this one, Anthony, I think you're the only 542 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 4: one with anything on this beautiful matchup A relegation six 543 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 4: pointer Sheffield United plus two twenty five born myth plus 544 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 4: one fifteen in the job plus two fifty. I don't 545 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 4: know how, but you've worked up the gumption to go 546 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: back to the cherries here. Who I mean, they what 547 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 4: they'd been better here? But he loves his cherries, this guy, 548 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: I know he does. Yeah, he really does. 549 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: Well. 550 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 2: You know, here's the thing. I think I thought we'd 551 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 2: get a better number, to be completely honest, because I expected, 552 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: you know, this being a relegation match with Sheffield at home, 553 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 2: that the market would just kind of priced them right 554 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: around to pick them, with Bournemouth clearly being the better team. 555 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 2: So the fact that I only get plus one twenty 556 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 2: five is a little bit less than I would like, 557 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: of course, I mean I'd always want a better number, 558 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: but my projections make Bournemouth plus one fifteen here, so 559 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 2: I am not that far off the market. I just 560 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: think Sheffield United is not going to offer any resistance 561 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 2: or pressure or create high turnovers in a way that 562 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: causes problems for Bournemouth, and thus it kind of eliminates 563 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: the biggest issue that Bournemous had all season. There are 564 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: some positive injury new situations going on for the Cherries here. 565 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: It's still not great, but it's not as bad. They 566 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: still don't have Philip Billing. He has been a key 567 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 2: part of their very mediocre midfield this season, so you 568 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: know that's not great. But overall, like they do get 569 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: most of their first choice defense back here, So I'm 570 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 2: close on Bornemuth probably will end up not actually betting 571 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: it because there are better games to bet, as they say, 572 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: but I think the Cherries here like, just based on 573 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: preseason priors, I would have laughed at you at the 574 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: beginning of the season if I could get born with 575 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 2: plus money against the Sheffield team. And I still have 576 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: faith even if my faith is somewhat waiting in this 577 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,959 Speaker 2: situation right now. I mean, I'm surprised that, like they 578 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: haven't fired. 579 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: Him yet, but you got to win though. 580 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: He did get a win. 581 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 4: Hey, they're two wins and three for what it's worth. Yeah, yeah, 582 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 4: so I'm saying they are they are, you know, trending 583 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 4: in the right and they were. 584 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: Beating Wolves until the red card, so you know, they 585 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: really could have been three wins and four. 586 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 4: And look, I mean they're they're now four points clear 587 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 4: of the relegation spot. The whole game plus multiple games 588 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 4: because of a particular points deduction. 589 00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: You mentioned it. 590 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 4: There are other games to bet, and I think that 591 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 4: there are two that we're we've yet to talk about 592 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 4: that are very, very very fun to bet, including Brentford 593 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 4: as a home underdog plus three seventy five hosting Arsenal 594 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 4: coming in at odds and odds on favorite minus one 595 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 4: thirty eight. The draw here is plus two to seventy five. Boy, BJ, 596 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 4: this one's gonna be tough for you. 597 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I hope both you lose all your money because 598 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,959 Speaker 3: I know where you're going. I'm passing price and Arsenal's 599 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: a little inflated, I agree. But what I will say 600 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 3: about Brentford, their past few matches defensively have been a 601 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 3: little concerning. And if you want to look where Arsenal 602 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 3: creates a lot of their chances, it's out wide and 603 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 3: these one v ones with Sokker and Martinelli. And as 604 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: of right now, Brentford doesn't have Aaron Hickey and they 605 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 3: don't have Rico Henry available, so that's a little concerning 606 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 3: when they're trying to defend in those one v ones 607 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: in wide air is. But Brentford in their last three 608 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 3: matches have conceded around to expected goals to Chelsea, West 609 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 3: Ham and Liverpool. So now this is going to be 610 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: just if you love ball circulation, that's what you're gonna 611 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: see all match long. Brentford's gonna say passive. Arsenal is 612 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 3: just going to circulate the ball and just hopefully they 613 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: can get those one v ones and in good areas. 614 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 3: But if you're a neutral, surestally on Brentford. But I'm 615 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 3: not a neutral, so I'm not betting it. 616 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 2: I like the under more than Brentford obviously. 617 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 4: I think that the This is a really good spot 618 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 4: to back Brentford at home, uh hosting a Big six club. 619 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: This, this is These are the spots that we we 620 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: do every time we dream about. 621 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 2: You don't always win. I mean Brentford Puss one and 622 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 2: a half probably should have won against Liverpool but didn't. 623 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 2: We don't know he's win. But we win more than 624 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 2: we lose. 625 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 4: We win more than we lose. And if you look 626 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 4: at Brentford since that that first international break in September, 627 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,200 Speaker 4: it's been a tricky schedule for them. Newcastle in Everton 628 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 4: side that was finally healthy and improving, and we're just 629 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,719 Speaker 4: due for a big performance. Don't even want to talk 630 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 4: about the EFL Cup. But they played Arsenal United, Chelsea, 631 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 4: Liverpool and then Forrest, west Ham and Burnley. So I 632 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 4: think I feel like they've they've played like a really 633 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 4: diverse group of opponents and and they've done I think 634 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,719 Speaker 4: what what you'd expect out of Brentford, which is they're 635 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 4: getting results. They'll they'll lose odd game here or there, 636 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 4: but generally everything looks respectable to me they like you 637 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 4: said that the game against Liverpool was closer than I think. 638 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 4: The final score dictates a really nice win against Chelsea. 639 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 4: Unlucky performance against United, and I know that we all 640 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 4: where we all think of United and and and similarly 641 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 4: away at Newcastle, like they kept it low event and 642 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 4: tight and tidy and yep. I feel like that's what 643 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 4: we're kind of looking at in a in a game 644 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 4: script here against Arsenal, which is can they turn this 645 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 4: match into as close to a coin flip as possible? 646 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 4: I said, I trust this team to do that every 647 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 4: time against these these kind of clubs. 648 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, National champion a soccer head coach at Syracuse, 649 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 2: Ian McIntyre always used to love to tell me goals 650 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: change games and that's like one of the best soccer 651 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: coach speak terms of all time. And they do. And 652 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 2: in this game, I don't think a goal changes a 653 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: whole lot because Arsenal playing from behind is going to 654 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: be the same as Arsenal in an even game. Here 655 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 2: Arsenal playing from ahead Brentford. You know, when they played Liverpool, 656 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 2: Liverpool almost wants you to get into that kind of 657 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 2: track meet with them, like let's go back and forth, 658 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 2: let's go up and down our but our players are 659 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 2: better than yours will beat you. And that's basically what 660 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: happened in the end of the last match. You know, 661 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 2: Liverpool goes up one nil and then Brentford had a 662 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: couple of chances, but Liverpool finishes theirs. They win three 663 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 2: nail going away. Arsenal is the opposite of that. I 664 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 2: mean they are shutting down every game at every turn, 665 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 2: and you can just look at like this historic defensive 666 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 2: run that they're on right now. They basically pitched a 667 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 2: shutout against Seville, they gave up the one shot in 668 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: stoppage time. They basically pitched a shut out against Sheffield. 669 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,320 Speaker 2: They gave up you know, point three XG to Burnley. Sorry, 670 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 2: BJ you probably had the right bet there. And they 671 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 2: were dominant against Newcastle. I mean, they conceded one x 672 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 2: G to Newcastle, but almost all of it came on 673 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: that controversial play. This was kind of just like a 674 00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 2: broken down attack that led to like a tap it. 675 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 2: So this defense has been historic and I think and 676 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 2: I think it comes down to Arsenal not optimizing their 677 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 2: attack and prioritizing control to an extreme extent and not 678 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 2: getting the most out of like this midfield, which is 679 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 2: pretty average going forward and pretty good to offensively, like 680 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 2: especially with Jacky and Rice breaking up the play, and 681 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 2: like being as good as he is in the in 682 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 2: the midfield. So Brandford doesn't want the ball, Arsenal wants it. 683 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 2: Arsenal keeps it in their final third a lot, they 684 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: don't do anything with it. Under two and a half 685 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 2: minus one oh four, I think this game could easily 686 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 2: end one nil. Arsenal could easily end one to one. 687 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 2: I just don't really see a ton of attacking quality 688 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 2: in this Arsenal side right now, beyond Sokka, So I 689 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 2: still think there's questions. It's been like my prevailing theme 690 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 2: of the podcast all year, and I think this is 691 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 2: the perfect team to kind of quash and slow down 692 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: this attack. So yeah, the Gunners may win. I think 693 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: the numbers a little inflated, not as much as usual, 694 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 2: but I do like the under more so under two 695 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: and a half minus one oh four is out there. 696 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: There was some plus money. It has taken some under 697 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 2: money in the last couple days. 698 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 4: From BJ's team to Anthony second team Spurs plus one 699 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 4: thirty hosting aston Villa plus one eighty and the draw 700 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 4: is plus two eighty here at tottenhams are coming off 701 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 4: stadium for who? 702 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: For who? 703 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 4: That's the real question, Anthony, My Spurs, Yeah they were. 704 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: We tried to tell you, We tried to tell. 705 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 4: You that this team was was a little bit smoking mirrors, 706 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 4: but still really good. I think we'll see how far 707 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 4: they fall. Meanwhile, Villa three one and one and uh 708 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 4: in their last five their last but in that last 709 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 4: in those last five matches, it's I mean, you want 710 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 4: to talk about. 711 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,440 Speaker 1: A cake schedule. It was Wolves. 712 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 4: West Ham, who were you know, really really struggling at 713 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 4: the time, looton Town, the lost to Forests and then 714 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 4: uh win at Fulham or win against Fullham. So I 715 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 4: don't know, and maybe maybe it's just I should just 716 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 4: submit that I can't at this this Phila team right, 717 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 4: and it's been I feel like it's been since Huna 718 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 4: Amory took them over, which is ironic because that via realite, 719 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 4: maybe maybe more money than anybody in a Champions League ever. 720 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 4: But I want a bet Spurits. Here is my point, Anthony, 721 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 4: think that this is no, that's not not a not 722 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 4: a terrible time way take him on. 723 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 2: I mean, we're not We're not good. We weren't that 724 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 2: good to begin with, and now we don't have our 725 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 2: good players. They get a doogie back, but they lose 726 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 2: Pasuma Ah, not gonna have Romero, not gonna have Mickey. 727 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 2: So like it's a very precarious back line. Who's gonna 728 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 2: play a ball, but do it against Mussa Dabi and 729 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: Leon Bailey, Like that is a concerning indicator. With that 730 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 2: being said, I think, you know, this year has been 731 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 2: the story of you know, home road Villa has been 732 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,879 Speaker 2: so different, and it's not just results or performances, it's 733 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 2: literal play style. How much of the ball are they have, 734 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 2: do they have, how much are they pressing? What's their 735 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: shot allowed numbers? Like they're so different when they've been 736 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 2: at home and they've been able to kind of beat 737 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 2: up on these bad teams, whereas when they've gone on 738 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 2: the road against any quality opposition and gotten their their 739 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,279 Speaker 2: their shit kicked in, like they have not been good 740 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: even at Forrest. You know, So I don't really want 741 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 2: to bet them either, and thus I will pass. But 742 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 2: the injury situation at Spurs is really dire and no 743 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 2: pun intended, and they they really they really did I'm 744 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 2: gonna start using that intentionally now, but they really don't 745 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 2: have any solutions like Madison being out. Benten Kerr comes in, 746 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,239 Speaker 2: but he's fresh off a major knee injury and he's 747 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 2: not as good as creation as Madison. Uh, there's not 748 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,280 Speaker 2: enough shots now. Son is the only guy for Charlton 749 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 2: being out. Kolosseevsky's not like a shot monster guy, so 750 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: it's just kind of a broken team. They scored a 751 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: great goal early on against Wolves and then did nothing, 752 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,439 Speaker 2: nothing for the entirety of the rest of the match 753 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: and got very lucky. I mean, Wolves won the match 754 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 2: and you know, the last ten to five minutes, but 755 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: they really could have lost it. I won it before 756 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,799 Speaker 2: that with how many chances they created, so I leaned 757 00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 2: toward the under as well. But I don't really want 758 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 2: to trust this defense either, So I'm passing no bet. 759 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,920 Speaker 2: But if I had to bet, i'd write with bj. 760 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking Aston Villa drawing O bet plus one 761 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 3: point fifteen. The injury situation is die is yeah, for 762 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:39,719 Speaker 3: lack of better work, dire but the real problem of 763 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 3: not just that Ben Davis and Eric Dyer are worst 764 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 3: defenders than Romero and Van Derven. It's the fact that 765 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,000 Speaker 3: when Tottenham, because they're probably gonna have a majority of 766 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 3: the ball in this match, Aston Villa is probably gonna 767 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 3: can see a lot of possession to them. It's when 768 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 3: Tottenham loses the ball when they're building up in a 769 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 3: two three five that leaves a lot of space out 770 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 3: wide for one v one sit situations, and Vanda Ven 771 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 3: and Romeiro are really really good at covering space and 772 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 3: being good defenders in those type of situations. Watkins and 773 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: Diabi against Davies and Dyer is a very very bad 774 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 3: situation for Tottenham that I don't think they have a 775 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,560 Speaker 3: solution for. And listen post to Koglu is not just 776 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 3: going to switch his idealisms and just sit back in 777 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 3: a little block and hand the ball to the Villa 778 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 3: and say all right, try to break us down. He's 779 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 3: going to play a high line. He's going to press 780 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 3: like they did that against Wolves even when they were ahead. 781 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 2: So with nine men right, The. 782 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 3: Question here for Tottenham because when has Villa struggled the 783 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 3: most this season when they played Liverpool and they played 784 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 3: Newcastle and they got absolutely beat up and build up 785 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 3: play and turn the ball over constantly high So if 786 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,359 Speaker 3: you truly believe that Tottenham's press is elite because they're 787 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 3: number one passive per defensive action right now. If you 788 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 3: truly believe that they are elite and that they can 789 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 3: disrupt Villa's build up play, then you can make a 790 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,400 Speaker 3: case for them. But I don't think given the players 791 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 3: that they have available, especially not Thesuma, that they have 792 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 3: the personnel to be able to press aston Villa effectively 793 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 3: out of possession. So I do like Villa plus one 794 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 3: fifteen here on the road. Again, the two worst defensive 795 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 3: pormances that they've had this season were against Newcastle Liverpool. 796 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,919 Speaker 3: You take away those two matches, they're only conceding about 797 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,560 Speaker 3: one expectacle for ninety minutes and have only conceded five 798 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 3: big scoring chances in their other ten matches. So I 799 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 3: think this is a good spot to keep fading Tottenham. 800 00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: It was good. 801 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 3: You know what was good is the fact is that 802 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 3: Wolves had to play very aggressively because they went down 803 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 3: so early, and if aston Villa it was a very 804 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 3: tactically tactically flexible team that can press, that can sit 805 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 3: back deep, can do a lot of different things. Well, 806 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 3: it's a really good match up here for Astonville. Even 807 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 3: if they are on the road, so I like do 808 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 3: like them drawn o Bett at plus one fifteen. 809 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 4: Game of the week time, Oh yeah, perhaps game of 810 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:57,919 Speaker 4: the year. 811 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 2: Everden bought of the year. Motivational spot of the year. 812 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. Can you imagine the type of thing that you 813 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: you hear. 814 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,320 Speaker 4: It all the time on in college football if you 815 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,520 Speaker 4: listen to BBOC or I guess, and it's a thing, 816 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 4: I'm sure, and uh in other sports, I'm maybe outside 817 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:22,280 Speaker 4: of Major League Baseball, where I don't think it motivation 818 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 4: matters really at all. Yeah, Everdon gets deducted ten points 819 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 4: over the international break. They were playing so well they 820 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 4: were left the relegation scrap in its rear view mirror 821 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 4: for the first time in two years. They've you know, 822 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 4: some safety in season. Safety was achieved and that's all got. 823 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 4: We'll see where this all ends up. But it does 824 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,919 Speaker 4: feel funny that it so you said it, motivational spot 825 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 4: of the year. Don't don't need to get too deep 826 00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 4: into a team getting deducted at ten points right away. 827 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 4: There's motivation built in. But the fact that they're also 828 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 4: playing a Big six side I think kind of adds 829 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 4: to it a little bit. Considering that United was one 830 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 4: of the six teams that tried to destroy the Premier 831 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 4: League all not that long ago and wasn't didn't face 832 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:21,160 Speaker 4: any point deductions from that. They also and they also 833 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 4: get a United team that has frankly just been in 834 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 4: shambles all year too. So you're going into it, You're 835 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 4: gonna go into a bear pit on Sunday at Goodison Park. 836 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,399 Speaker 4: Not the team I'd want to go into said bear pit. 837 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 4: Maybe the last team I'd want to go into said 838 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 4: bear pit in the entire league. And before I hand 839 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,720 Speaker 4: it over to you too, I mean, I like evertt 840 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 4: in here. I'll talk about it and now I'll talk 841 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 4: about it later. United is one of just proably four 842 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 4: teams in the Premier League right now, five team excuse me, 843 00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 4: that has that doesn't have a single play with at 844 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 4: least four goals on its roster. And I think that 845 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 4: that is important to note because when you have as 846 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 4: many problems as United does defensively, what is the tonic 847 00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 4: for those issues. It's having a game winner, someone who 848 00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 4: you can just get the ball, let them create some 849 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 4: magic and and and rescue you from trouble and some 850 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 4: and and they're still finding a way to do it 851 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:25,680 Speaker 4: by the way more often than not through Scott mcdommanay 852 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,919 Speaker 4: of all people, more than. 853 00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: Anyone going to start again. 854 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's it's yeah United's injury list. 855 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,919 Speaker 2: Everdon, I think they have the most injuries in the lad. 856 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, ever Everdon may be the healthiest team. And this 857 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 4: going into the weekend at United is uh probably the 858 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 4: one with with the biggest crisis of roster decisions. So 859 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 4: Everton is plus one eighty right now at home. This 860 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,839 Speaker 4: number has kind of been bouncing around between not too 861 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 4: much uh movement over the past a couple of days, 862 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,960 Speaker 4: but I think Evert is and end up taking money here, Antony. 863 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 3: They should be the favorite, agreed. 864 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:13,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, Hoyland probably out Onnana fifty to fifty, Ericson out, 865 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 2: Casimiro out, Martinez out. So that's like the entire spot 866 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 2: of the team except Bruno and the wingers haven't been 867 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 2: good all year. There's like real questions about like what 868 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 2: is this team going to look like? Because I thought 869 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 2: you could squint, like really hard and say, well, you know, 870 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,960 Speaker 2: they played a really good opening half hour against Copenhagen 871 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 2: for the red card, and then you could say, well, 872 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 2: Newton Town at home probably the second or third easiest 873 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 2: fixture they'll have all year. Was a really good performance 874 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,760 Speaker 2: because for the first time they truly consistently out created 875 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,240 Speaker 2: and dominated an opponent. But now they lose the striker 876 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 2: who had really led those moments and finally gotten some 877 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 2: shots and goals against Copenhagen and against Lowton. They lose him. 878 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 2: They lose the goalie who had been better with shots 879 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 2: stopping in the last month after a pretty rocky start. 880 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 2: Their main distributor out from the back is out. Johnny 881 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 2: Evans is questionable. Now their defense went to shambles once 882 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,240 Speaker 2: he went out. They don't have any good build up players, 883 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,759 Speaker 2: not one in the whole team mcdonmm and a in 884 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 2: the midfield like doesn't get on the ball a lot, 885 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 2: he doesn't really pass and like Lindeloff, Van has been 886 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 2: a shell of himself this year. Like this group, Luke 887 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 2: Shaw may also probably still going to be out too. 888 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 2: So the entire ball progression plan is could put. And 889 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 2: now you're playing on Everton team that has the capability 890 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,759 Speaker 2: to get in your face and turn you over high 891 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 2: and create scoring chances off of that. So I get that, 892 00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 2: Like you know, United has more talent at the club 893 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 2: and that's why they're they're the favorite on the road here. 894 00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 2: But like the players on the pitch that have played 895 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 2: this season, these teams have been about even and given 896 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,399 Speaker 2: the injuries keep getting worse for United Everton, you could 897 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 2: argue is the better team right now, and they're at 898 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 2: home and they're a dog, So yeah, toffees again and 899 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,319 Speaker 2: and and you throw in that the I'm not much 900 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 2: of a motivation. 901 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,879 Speaker 4: Person, but like, yeah, no, there are times this is. 902 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 2: One of those spots where it's like, well, the league 903 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,720 Speaker 2: just screwed us. Now we're at home off the break, 904 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 2: Let's let's go screw them back, you know, show them. 905 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: So I did love the Sean dicee memes that were 906 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 2: coming at it was like, Sean Dice is like the 907 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 2: guy who told his landlord to raise his rent because 908 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 2: he wants to destroy. He wants to embrace the struggle 909 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 2: with the grind. 910 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 4: I meant you'd be hard pressed to find them like 911 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 4: a a more appropriate manager and a bunch of yeah. 912 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 1: Like it was almost I haven't. 913 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 2: Seen his comments on it yet, but I'm sure he'll 914 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 2: be asked about it post or pre match on Saturday. 915 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see, you know, his his 916 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,359 Speaker 2: like raspy, raggedy voice. It's gonna be awesome. But yes, 917 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 2: no Everton, Everton for sure, and the first of two 918 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 2: United fades for me in the same week. If you 919 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 2: follow me in the action app, I bet Everton and 920 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 2: Galatasaray like three or four weeks ago because there were 921 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 2: some really bad openers. It's time to cash those tickets 922 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,439 Speaker 2: because I believe we've gotten the world famous closing line 923 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 2: value on them. 924 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 3: B J. 925 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,080 Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna hand it to you in a second too. 926 00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 4: But I kind of want to add here that it's 927 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,600 Speaker 4: it's really not a bad game, and I don't want 928 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 4: to make a loser out of a winner here, but 929 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 4: it's not a bad game to back an Everdon route 930 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:53,920 Speaker 4: because there's absolutely a situation here where Everton just storms them. 931 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,720 Speaker 4: As Anthony said, like the rosters is threadbare for United. 932 00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 4: This is not Manchester United coming to Goodis And this 933 00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 4: is like Manchester United be coming to you to go 934 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 4: Toson Park. 935 00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:07,080 Speaker 2: And Marsha all starting up top probably right right, yeah. 936 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 3: I mean, And the other thing about it is is 937 00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 3: you mentioned off the top, Michael, where they don't have 938 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 3: this game where they can go get it. Well, last 939 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 3: year that was Rashford who overformed at a historic rate, 940 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,480 Speaker 3: and now he's not and you're seeing the problem. Yeah, 941 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,799 Speaker 3: and now you're seeing the problems that Manchester United have 942 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 3: that they just don't have anybody to break it down. 943 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 3: So I don't think it really matters what Everton decides 944 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 3: to do, because Everton has shown that if they want 945 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 3: to sit back and they don't want to press and 946 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 3: they want to send a little block, that they are 947 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 3: incredibly effective at doing that. So they could sit back 948 00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,000 Speaker 3: and they could just say, you know what, you're not 949 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 3: playing through us United. And like Anthony mentioned, if United 950 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 3: decides that, listen, we have no good build up players, 951 00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,040 Speaker 3: so let's just play root one football, let's send the 952 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 3: ball deep, and let's play in transition. Then you're playing 953 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,720 Speaker 3: a transition game with Everton, who is unbelievable in transition. 954 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,520 Speaker 3: So there's really no method here for United unless they 955 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 3: pull off on these magical wins again. Additionally, it looks 956 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,120 Speaker 3: like Aaron Wan Desakham also might be out for United, 957 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,880 Speaker 3: who is their best wide defender, which means that United 958 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:14,279 Speaker 3: will have to defend with Reggion or probably Dallo as 959 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 3: their two wide area guys and how does Everton create 960 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,240 Speaker 3: all of their chances? Mainly it's through crosses and getting 961 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 3: out ball out wide. So it's a yeah, it's just 962 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 3: a really good spot here to back Everton. They again, 963 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 3: like Anthey said, the players that are currently on the pitch, 964 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,439 Speaker 3: Everton is a better team than Manchester United and they're 965 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 3: at home. So crazy line Everton, John Obatt plus one fifteen. 966 00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 4: Kind of feels like a letdown to wrap up with 967 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 4: with this next game on Monday night. 968 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:44,640 Speaker 1: I shouldn't mention this. 969 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 4: Yes, Spurs Spurs, the Spurs match and Everton matcher and 970 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 4: Sunday this one Fulham and Wolves at Craven Cottage Monday 971 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:57,600 Speaker 4: Night football with Fulham at plus one third thirty seven 972 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 4: Wolverhampton plus two hundred and the draw is plus two 973 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 4: thirty And as you heard from the wandering wolve around here, 974 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 4: this one looks like it's it's. 975 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: Three for three. 976 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:17,840 Speaker 4: Gary o'neils rambunctious Wolves making their way to the to 977 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 4: the middle of the table here. Good good for them. Yeah, 978 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,399 Speaker 4: I mean this is uh, this looks like a great 979 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 4: spot to back Wolves BJ Yeah, I. 980 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 3: Mean Gary O'Neill is just turning Wolves into that best 981 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 3: version of that Brent of the Bournemouth team that we 982 00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 3: saw last season, a team that is good in transition, 983 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:38,040 Speaker 3: good on set pieces, and can play well defensively in 984 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 3: a low block. And quite honestly, I know Fulham's at home, 985 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 3: but I don't think there is a scenario where they 986 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,360 Speaker 3: should be a home favorite without Paulina in the middle 987 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,000 Speaker 3: of the pitch. Given what they have done offensively this season, 988 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,640 Speaker 3: which is next to nothing. They're going to have to 989 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,800 Speaker 3: start ral Jamanez up top of and who did score 990 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,359 Speaker 3: when they were down three against aston Villa. So gratsta Raljmenez. 991 00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: Prevention spot here too. 992 00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:13,360 Speaker 3: True. That is true, Michael, but it's just so clear 993 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,720 Speaker 3: right now for Fulham that when they are playing because 994 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 3: they typically do concede a lot of possession, so when 995 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 3: they're playing teams that will possess the ball more, they 996 00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:25,000 Speaker 3: are playing a very very narrow defensive shape to limit 997 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 3: central progression and they've done a pretty good job of it, honestly. 998 00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 3: But when they win the ball, they used to be 999 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,279 Speaker 3: able to get the ball wide and send it into 1000 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,279 Speaker 3: t Mitrovic. They just don't have anybody in the middle 1001 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 3: of the pitch to be able to do that, and 1002 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 3: they are not good at playing the ball centrally through 1003 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 3: the middle, and they also keep trying to play out 1004 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,279 Speaker 3: of the back and it has not been successful whatsoever. 1005 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,480 Speaker 3: So Wolves can turn them over high. They can cause 1006 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,120 Speaker 3: a lot of problems if Fulham decides they want to 1007 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 3: try to build out of the back, and without Paulinya, 1008 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 3: you're losing your best ball stopper in the middle of 1009 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 3: the pitch and you literally have nobody else who can 1010 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 3: stop Wolves if they want to get go forward and 1011 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 3: transition opportunities. Paulina has sixty three tackles plus interceptions this season. 1012 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 3: The next closest midfielder on Fulham doesn't even have fifteen, 1013 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 3: Like that's how much of a difference it is when 1014 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 3: he is not on the pitch. So and Wolves. There 1015 00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:22,640 Speaker 3: is looks like a slight chance that Pedro Netto might 1016 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 3: be back for this match, which would obviously be massive, 1017 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 3: But even if he doesn't play, he Chen Hwang has 1018 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 3: been really really good this season point five to four 1019 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 3: actually plus expected says per ninety minute rate. Very good 1020 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 3: attacker and quite honestly, what we're worried about with Wolves 1021 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,320 Speaker 3: coming into the middle of the season was their midfield 1022 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 3: because they lost News, they lost Nunyes, they lost Mattino, 1023 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 3: and this midfield of Gomes and Lamina has been better 1024 00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:51,400 Speaker 3: in terms of ball stopping perspective. They're getting more tackles 1025 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:54,480 Speaker 3: and interceptions per ninety than the News and whatever combination 1026 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 3: they were using last season. So I really don't think 1027 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,279 Speaker 3: Fulham should be a home favorite here. I really am 1028 00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:04,520 Speaker 3: believing in Gary O'Neil and this Wolve's team, who was 1029 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 3: again turning into the best version of that Bournemouth team 1030 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 3: that we saw in the second half of the season. 1031 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,320 Speaker 3: So I think Gary O'Neil's team right now is a 1032 00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:15,239 Speaker 3: really good buy on team and this is a really 1033 00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 3: good spot for them here on Monday night on the road. 1034 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,400 Speaker 3: So I like them. Jon o Bett at plus one twenty. 1035 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,560 Speaker 2: Wolves have gone over four straight games. 1036 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:23,040 Speaker 3: Yep. 1037 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 2: Have I bet any of them? No, In fact I 1038 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,360 Speaker 2: had the under ones. But yeah, I mean this this 1039 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 2: Wolves attack is quietly cooking. I mean even without Nato 1040 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 2: last week two point one extually against Spurs. I thought 1041 00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 2: they were good against Sheffield, not great, but yeah, this 1042 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,600 Speaker 2: Fulham defense still is mediocre and their attack is useless. 1043 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,080 Speaker 2: They get Munies, he shows some life, not much, and 1044 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 2: then he gets hurt, so we're back to you know, 1045 00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 2: one shot per game row Woul and I just really 1046 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 2: don't see any advantages whatsoever for Fulham that make them 1047 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 2: a favorite. So yeah, I agree. I'm on Wolves as well. 1048 00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 4: Oh oh uh yeah, three for three Outwolves. Not too 1049 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 4: much to add there. All right, we'll go into the 1050 00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 4: rest of Europe real quick. But before I do that, 1051 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,439 Speaker 4: it's time to pay some bills. And what better time 1052 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 4: to do that than right around the holidays. It's right 1053 00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,920 Speaker 4: the holiday season. It's right around the corner, and it's 1054 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 4: about to get pretty busy, But don't let that stop 1055 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 4: you from sticking to your habits and being the best 1056 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 4: version of yourself.

The second 1065 00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 4: one is the base layer, which is a daily moisturizer 1066 00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 4: used to hydrate your skin.

I can't let Anthony go first 1076 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,920 Speaker 4: here because he's about to take us on an adventure. 1077 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, which year, I'll just be quick one. I'm 1078 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,240 Speaker 3: gonna go with a relegation six pointer. I like Bochum 1079 00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 3: plus a half a minus one fifty against Heidenheim. Heidenheim 1080 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,319 Speaker 3: is one of the worst defensive teams that I've seen 1081 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 3: in recent memory come up to any of these Big 1082 00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,000 Speaker 3: five leagues. There's only been two matches this season where 1083 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 3: they've held an opponent under two expected goals, lying around 1084 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,200 Speaker 3: two and a half for ninety and this Boca team 1085 00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 3: is quietly improving over their last three matches they've held Minds, 1086 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:57,600 Speaker 3: Darmstad and Cologne all under one expected goal, and quite frankly, 1087 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,319 Speaker 3: Heidenheim hasn't won the expected goals battle in any of 1088 00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,400 Speaker 3: their matches this season. So I don't see a scenario 1089 00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 3: why they should be a home plus one twenty favorite. 1090 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,880 Speaker 3: So I like pokem plus a half a minus one fifty. 1091 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 4: All right, Anthony floor is yours? 1092 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a couple of bets Wolfsburg plus a 1093 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 2: half at home against Leipzig. I think, you know, I 1094 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 2: gave Leipsig the benefit of the doubt early in the 1095 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 2: season because their numbers they were running ridiculously hot. They've 1096 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 2: been the most fortunate team from a finishing perspective in 1097 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 2: all of Europe. But they're just really not that good 1098 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,160 Speaker 2: and that's kind of born out in the numbers in 1099 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:30,920 Speaker 2: their Champions League where they were largely uncompetitive with City. 1100 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,760 Speaker 2: In you know, some of their league matches where you know, 1101 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 2: they got outplayed by Mines, they got outplayed by Darmstat, 1102 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 2: we're pretty even with Freiburg until the penalty late, like 1103 00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 2: weren't great against Bayern except for the part where they 1104 00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 2: scored the first two shots. So it kind of throws 1105 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,560 Speaker 2: everything off. We're seeing now though that when Leipzig's been 1106 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 2: an even game states, they have not been very good 1107 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,800 Speaker 2: and so I think we have to downgrade them. And 1108 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 2: I think the market's still a little too high. If 1109 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: you bet against Leipzig this year, you'd be down money, 1110 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,520 Speaker 2: but you'd be up in terms of CLV and that's 1111 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 2: something that wasted. Glosso pointed out, the market has hated 1112 00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:04,640 Speaker 2: this team, and I'm starting to come around on that 1113 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 2: as well. So I'll think Wolfsburg plus a half at 1114 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 2: home and then the game of the weekend in Europe 1115 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,160 Speaker 2: Glodbach and Dortmund BJ. You know, might have been right 1116 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 2: about glad Boch because the you know, we said in 1117 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,959 Speaker 2: the lead up to the season that like they lost 1118 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,400 Speaker 2: all of their attacking production, it was worth a shot 1119 00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,479 Speaker 2: on them at thirty three to one to go down 1120 00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 2: because of that. Well, they have found some really nice 1121 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,960 Speaker 2: pieces from across you know, the leagues. You know, they're 1122 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 2: getting some unsustainable numbers from some of these guys, but 1123 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 2: Kavan Kara, the check forward they bought, has been really 1124 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:41,080 Speaker 2: impressive from a shots perspective. They're getting really good production 1125 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:43,920 Speaker 2: from frank Anurott, who they bought from Lege. 1126 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 3: On. 1127 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,000 Speaker 2: He's been the best ball progresser pretty much in Europe 1128 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,200 Speaker 2: and he's put up some ridiculously good numbers as well, 1129 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,439 Speaker 2: so they they found some pieces to make this work. 1130 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:58,400 Speaker 2: Anorat as forsis already they are now facing a Dortmund 1131 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 2: defense which is flat out out terrible and the market 1132 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,960 Speaker 2: is not reacting enough. So I like glad Bock plus 1133 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,840 Speaker 2: one point two five and I like them first half 1134 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 2: team total over plus one twenty five. You can just 1135 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,160 Speaker 2: look at it. Every time Jordman plays a team of 1136 00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:15,520 Speaker 2: any quality, they have been getting diced up. Still are 1137 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,880 Speaker 2: some concerns for Glodbock defensively with their injuries and just 1138 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,120 Speaker 2: not being very good, but they are gonna be in 1139 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:24,560 Speaker 2: this game because of how bad Dormund is defensively. So 1140 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,920 Speaker 2: give me the foals. Go get those goals, hopefully in 1141 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 2: the first half. 1142 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: And we're gonna need them at both halfs. 1143 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,160 Speaker 4: Because a little foreshadowing, not the end of our discussion 1144 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,360 Speaker 4: about glodboch BJ you're the only one with anything in Syria. 1145 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 3: Ah this weekend, Yeah, the big match of the weekend. 1146 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,200 Speaker 3: Juventus inter Interer is a road favorite, and I am 1147 00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,560 Speaker 3: not sure that I agree with that obviously, Inter is 1148 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 3: just pumping everybody right now. They're just destroying everybody in 1149 00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,040 Speaker 3: their path. They've beaten Roma and not lots of and 1150 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 3: have been cooking in the Champions League as well. But 1151 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,160 Speaker 3: this Juventus defense has been incredible. I mean they're allowing 1152 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 3: like point seven xtge for ninety like they'll let you 1153 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:12,920 Speaker 3: into the final third, they'll let you get shots off, 1154 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 3: but it's nothing of value. Like their last notable match 1155 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 3: in Syria A when they played Fiorentina, they scored early 1156 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,320 Speaker 3: and they just handed the ball to them and just 1157 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:24,920 Speaker 3: dared them to try and score and they couldn't. They 1158 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,720 Speaker 3: took a lot of shots, none of them were of value, 1159 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 3: and that is the peak of a legrball and Uventus 1160 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:36,600 Speaker 3: is at that right now. So I really don't think 1161 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,280 Speaker 3: there's a scenario where Inter should be a road favorite here. 1162 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 3: I mean, if we were doing this against this Juventus 1163 01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,000 Speaker 3: team of last season, sure would I would say, yeah, 1164 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 3: that makes sense. But given the way Uvents has been playing, 1165 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,640 Speaker 3: in the defensive numbers that they have put up, I 1166 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:50,720 Speaker 3: like them plus a half minus one forty at home. 1167 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Okay, la league of time, Anthony. 1168 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 2: Well, my two teams are playing each other. 1169 01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 4: I know this is tough for you, huh. 1170 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,040 Speaker 2: And it is tough. So I'm gonna take both teams 1171 01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:01,640 Speaker 2: to score because I think both are undervalued by the market. 1172 01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 2: You know, yes, minus one ten. I bet it this morning. 1173 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 2: Valencia against Celta Vigo. I'll tell you. I was in 1174 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 2: the office, in our Action Network office on Friday when 1175 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 2: they played bill Bao. What a match. I mean, I 1176 01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:22,480 Speaker 2: was covered in sweat by the end, and I thought 1177 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 2: we were going to catch our plus one. And then 1178 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 2: in the final kick of the freaking game, Vigo concedes 1179 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 2: a soft ass penalty. I mean it was a penalty 1180 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,400 Speaker 2: because it hit his hand, but like so weak, did 1181 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 2: not make any impact on the real play. They give 1182 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,440 Speaker 2: away the pen, they lose four to three, like ten 1183 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,480 Speaker 2: minutes after they missed their own pen to take the lead. 1184 01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 2: It was classic and BJ sent me the article. There's 1185 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,640 Speaker 2: an article in the Analyst about Rafa and this Celta 1186 01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 2: team and just like historic levels of bad luck. But look, Valencia, 1187 01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 2: you know, Doro and this attack have actually been really improved. 1188 01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 2: They just put almost three XG on Real Madrid a 1189 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 2: couple weeks ago. Granted every but he does that. But 1190 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,240 Speaker 2: this Vego team is pretty passive defensively, but they're still 1191 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,680 Speaker 2: conceding a good number of chances. It's just the attack 1192 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 2: that has consistently been underrated h and the process has 1193 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,160 Speaker 2: been good. I still believe in them. I will believe 1194 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,640 Speaker 2: in them for the rest of the season. Valencia Vigo 1195 01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 2: b tw TSEs minus won ten thriller incoming. I played 1196 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:20,360 Speaker 2: alts over too. 1197 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:24,520 Speaker 3: I'm sure everybody's aware right now, but Girona's at the 1198 01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,120 Speaker 3: top of the table in La Liga and I have 1199 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 3: been waiting and waiting and waiting very patiently for a 1200 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 3: spot to fade them, and I think I have found 1201 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 3: it here on Monday against the team that I think 1202 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,240 Speaker 3: just mentioned, Athletic Bill Baal coming off that four through 1203 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 3: win against Celta Vigo. So why Girona is at the 1204 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 3: top of the table is a very interesting conundrum, and 1205 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 3: really what it. 1206 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 4: Is is they's a real underdog story. 1207 01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: They've just played They've. 1208 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Played nobody bad, They've played nobody. 1209 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 3: They've been beating nobody's ten of they've only won eleven matches. 1210 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 3: Ten of their eleven matches have come against the bottom, 1211 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 3: essentially the bottom ten teams in Spain. They're only one 1212 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,920 Speaker 3: match they've won against a team in the top nine 1213 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,560 Speaker 3: is against you, my boys from Los Palmas, but that's it. 1214 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 3: They've played Real Madrid, they've lost for nothing. They played 1215 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 3: Sociated open the season and drew them one to one. 1216 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,600 Speaker 3: So we haven't seen them against good competition. And listen, 1217 01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,120 Speaker 3: they are really good in possession, like they are a 1218 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:27,400 Speaker 3: very fun attacking team. They have really good players. Savio 1219 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,200 Speaker 3: has been incredible for them, but he's injured now. He's 1220 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,160 Speaker 3: their best creator out on the wing. And what they 1221 01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 3: love to do is they love to build out in 1222 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 3: a three to one six. They love to overload the 1223 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,080 Speaker 3: last line of defense and that's wonderful and that works 1224 01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 3: against bad defensive teams or teams at the bottom half 1225 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,920 Speaker 3: the table. But when they lose the ball, they are 1226 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,880 Speaker 3: incredibly exposed to teams that can counter them quickly in transition. 1227 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,840 Speaker 3: Who's the best team at doing that in La Liga? 1228 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 3: It's bill Ball. So this is a fantastic matchup for Babao, 1229 01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 3: who's very quietly in fifth place and as a plus 1230 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,600 Speaker 3: nine back to Goldffrench Hall as well. So Bill Boo 1231 01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 3: pick them plus one twenty against a Girona team that's 1232 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 3: gonna be without their best attacking player and quite frankly 1233 01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:14,720 Speaker 3: is overdue to lose a match against. You know they're 1234 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,920 Speaker 3: finally going to play somebody good, so bill bo pick 1235 01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 3: them plus one twenty. 1236 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 2: I've never seen a first half team total over that 1237 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:24,480 Speaker 2: I love more than bill bow in this game. It's 1238 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:27,640 Speaker 2: so great. It is great. But uh yeah, I mean 1239 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 2: Girona's played nobody except for Vigo, who they barely beat. 1240 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,080 Speaker 2: That's their only good quote unquote win of the season 1241 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,439 Speaker 2: and they want it in stoppage time. 1242 01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, the real underdog story of the season owned by 1243 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 4: City Football Group. 1244 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:46,480 Speaker 1: Who did you know the City is gonna win? 1245 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 2: I forgot to mention that we're heading toward them winning 1246 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 2: all five of the top league. They're gonna buy to lose. 1247 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,480 Speaker 2: They're gonna buy like Genoa. 1248 01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 3: I'm hoping, Michael, that Everton is a sacker so we 1249 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 3: can finally get a points deduction on City. I'm hoping. 1250 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:05,680 Speaker 3: If that's the case, I think I think you'll be happy. 1251 01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:12,200 Speaker 4: I think they'd sooner pull out of the Premier League. Okay, 1252 01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 4: before we get to our underdog parlay, BJ get us 1253 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:17,400 Speaker 4: started in France. 1254 01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick? Nice minus one minus one fifteen against 1255 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,920 Speaker 3: to lose to lose. One of the worst defensive teams 1256 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 3: in France. As you've seen, they've given him seven goals 1257 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 3: to Liverpool in the Europa League, conceding about one point 1258 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:31,360 Speaker 3: nine next sheep or ninety minutes. A really really bad team, 1259 01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 3: and they have to sit in set in a set defense, 1260 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,280 Speaker 3: and they're also really bad in transition. While nice very 1261 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,600 Speaker 3: when they play lesser competition, they have beaten that lesser 1262 01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,960 Speaker 3: competition by one expected goal at least in every single 1263 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 3: one of those matches. So a nice team that is 1264 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,439 Speaker 3: really fun tactle team that I talked about last time 1265 01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,360 Speaker 3: when they played Month of the Air. Unfortunately did not 1266 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 3: win that match, but this is a good spot for 1267 01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 3: a nice team that is still undervalued by the market. 1268 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:01,680 Speaker 3: Nie minus won a home against to lose. 1269 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:03,720 Speaker 2: I really thought we were gonna get a good number 1270 01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:08,480 Speaker 2: to bet PSG against Monaco at home, but we didn't, 1271 01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 2: so I'm gonna be passing there. I do like Strasburg 1272 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,800 Speaker 2: at home against Marseille. Marseille has been interesting this year. 1273 01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 2: Their underlying numbers are actually better than the past, but 1274 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,960 Speaker 2: their goal difference is negative and that is really funny 1275 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 2: because all of those years of this Marseille team being 1276 01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 2: an absolute luck box. They're finally starting to regress now 1277 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,080 Speaker 2: and the market just keeps downgrading them, and I think 1278 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:30,400 Speaker 2: it's I think it's real, and I think it's a 1279 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 2: very mediocre team when you look at them on paper. 1280 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 2: Their biggest problem has been they haven't really created against 1281 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 2: any quality opponent they've played this year. They played Leo 1282 01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 2: less than one XG, Niece less than one XG, lent 1283 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:45,840 Speaker 2: Long less than one XG, Monico one x G. So 1284 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 2: anytime they've played any real competition PSG as well, the 1285 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,000 Speaker 2: attack has really fallen off. And that's what we've kind 1286 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,960 Speaker 2: of suggested with this team for a while, which is 1287 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 2: just like they're not nearly as good. They just have 1288 01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 2: an insanely high conversion rate of chances. And now you 1289 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:04,520 Speaker 2: know Strasburgh's on a great defense. They're an average defense, 1290 01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:07,160 Speaker 2: but catching a half goal at home, I like Strasbourg 1291 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 2: at home. 1292 01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,000 Speaker 4: So all right, we are just about a week removed 1293 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,320 Speaker 4: from our one year anniversary of hitting our only underdog Parlay. 1294 01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,440 Speaker 4: It was two hundred and one to one. Came through. 1295 01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:21,880 Speaker 4: The one year anniversary came through when we were on 1296 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 4: international break of ever twelfth. I think it was so 1297 01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,800 Speaker 4: maybe we can get back on the board here with 1298 01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,360 Speaker 4: an eighty seven to one banger beajet, you can kick 1299 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 4: us off Wolves. 1300 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,320 Speaker 3: Plus two ten on the road against Fulham on Monday 1301 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,160 Speaker 3: night will be the last leg of this one. Just 1302 01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 3: a really good already talked about a really good match 1303 01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 3: up here for Wolves against a Fulham team that's going 1304 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,280 Speaker 3: to be without Paulinia, their best ball stopper in the 1305 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:47,920 Speaker 3: middle of the pitch. Fulham offensively has done next to nothing. 1306 01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 3: They're still going to have to start raling men is 1307 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 3: up top, and Wolves under Gary o'nill is becoming the 1308 01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 3: best version of what Gary O'Neills Barnmut team was last season. 1309 01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 3: A team that's good in transition, good on set pieces 1310 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 3: and can cause problems if you try to build out 1311 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 3: through the middle of the pitch. The midfield's improved. So 1312 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 3: I really don't think there's a scenario with when Fulham 1313 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 3: doesn't have their best player, why they should be a 1314 01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:10,880 Speaker 3: home favorite here. 1315 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 1: So I like, we'll cost you ten Brentford. 1316 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I hope this loses. 1317 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,880 Speaker 1: It's just it's interesting. Do you have to keep going. 1318 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,680 Speaker 2: The time two out of three of the player the 1319 01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,519 Speaker 2: teams we have this weekend we're in that parlay. Yeah, 1320 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 2: Brentford was one of them. It was not Naven Forrest and. 1321 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,800 Speaker 3: Should I change down Forest right? 1322 01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 2: It was glod Bag five to one against RuSHA do that, 1323 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,559 Speaker 2: So it's pretty funny. But yeah, I mean, look, Dorman's 1324 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:56,439 Speaker 2: five to one on the road, Actually mean glod Box 1325 01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 2: five to one on the road at Dormant And this 1326 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 2: defense is just so so flawed. They give up three 1327 01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,160 Speaker 2: ex sheet to Stuttgart. Every competent team they've played has 1328 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 2: brought up the score on them from a chances and 1329 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,479 Speaker 2: goals perspective, and I think that's going to continue. So 1330 01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 2: god Boch is going to be in like a two 1331 01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:14,519 Speaker 2: to two to two one crazy kind of game could 1332 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,360 Speaker 2: go either way. So at five to one, I like, 1333 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:17,440 Speaker 2: I like the foleship. 1334 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 4: So that's Brentford Wolves and glad Bach eighty seven to 1335 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 4: one if all three legs come through onto best bets 1336 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:25,719 Speaker 4: Now for the upcoming Premier League weekend. 1337 01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 2: Anthony Arsenal Brentford under two and a half minus one 1338 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 2: Ozho four. Arsenal has been on an elite, elite defensive run, 1339 01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 2: the best defense in all of Europe save maybe Nice, 1340 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 2: and they have prioritized control over everything, they have limited 1341 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 2: their own attack. As a result of this, they have 1342 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 2: not been as good through the middle and Brentford, you know, 1343 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,439 Speaker 2: with their defensive approach, I think still has the ability 1344 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,280 Speaker 2: to shut down even the best attacks, as they've done 1345 01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 2: at times this season. I know they've had some slippage recently, 1346 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:55,920 Speaker 2: but I like the under two and a half here. 1347 01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,000 Speaker 2: I only projected for two point three six, so the under. 1348 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 1: So wrong team is favored. 1349 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:05,800 Speaker 4: In Everton versus Manchester United at Goodison Park, Everdent plus 1350 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:09,160 Speaker 4: one eighty is my favorite bet hosting a beleaguered Manchester 1351 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,479 Speaker 4: United squad. We talked about the motivational factor at play 1352 01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,200 Speaker 4: here for the Toffees, but that may be under sells 1353 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,560 Speaker 4: just how good this team's been relative to their expectations 1354 01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 4: and to think the public perception of them coming off 1355 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,960 Speaker 4: of two dismal seasons and really unlucky but horse start. 1356 01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 4: So this is not your older cousins Everton hosting your 1357 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 4: older cousins Manchester United. This is a United team that's 1358 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,719 Speaker 4: in a serious, serious injury crisis. The name brand value 1359 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,920 Speaker 4: is definitely overshadowing where this team truly is in terms 1360 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,160 Speaker 4: of actual talent at the moment, so I love the 1361 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:49,800 Speaker 4: Toffees here, I don't hate chasing some alternate spreads here. 1362 01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,320 Speaker 4: Taffees in Aro out BJ what do you got. 1363 01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 3: Aston Villa Drono Bett plus one fifteen against Toddham. The 1364 01:10:55,320 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 3: injury situation for Tottenham is very dire as of right now. 1365 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,920 Speaker 3: James Madison, Mickey Van Devenn, Christian Romero, Besuma and ra 1366 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 3: Charles snarl out Whodogi is questionable and that is a 1367 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,639 Speaker 3: problem given the way that ange Polskoe wants to play. 1368 01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,920 Speaker 3: He wants his teams to press high and he's going 1369 01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:15,439 Speaker 3: to play a very high line if aston Villa, which 1370 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 3: they should be able to which they are a good 1371 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:18,880 Speaker 3: build up team to play through that first line of 1372 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 3: the pressure that is going to put a lot of 1373 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 3: pressure on Eric Dyer and Ben Davies to defend in 1374 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 3: one on one situations against Olie Watkins and Mussa Diabi 1375 01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 3: who have been in incredible form right now, and aston 1376 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,200 Speaker 3: Villa defensively the season have basically had just two bad 1377 01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,280 Speaker 3: performances against Liverpool and against Newcastle where they got beat 1378 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:37,439 Speaker 3: up when they were trying to build out of the 1379 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,639 Speaker 3: back and it led to a lot of transition opportunities 1380 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:42,519 Speaker 3: for both Newcastle and Liverpool. In their other ten matches, 1381 01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:45,880 Speaker 3: they have only averaged conceded about one expecta goal per 1382 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,840 Speaker 3: ninety minutes, so the defense is still very very good. 1383 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,759 Speaker 3: So given the injury situation right now for Tottenham players 1384 01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,040 Speaker 3: on the field, I think aston Villa is a better team. 1385 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,639 Speaker 3: So I like aston Villa drawn Novett at plus one fifteen. 1386 01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 4: Okay, that does it for this episode of Wonder Goal. 1387 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 4: For bj and Anthony. 1388 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm Michael Eibov. 1389 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 4: We will see you again on Monday morning. 1390 01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:16,120 Speaker 3: Happy Thanksgiving gamblers, We're thankful for you. 1391 01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:22,960 Speaker 2: Action Network reminds you please gamble responsibly.
