BJ. 42 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: You're Arsenal the Gunners minus one twenty five hosting Manchester 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: United plus three thirty three. The draw is plus two 44 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: seventy five on the three way money line. Of course, 45 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: those odds are from Bett three six five. You two 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: were both in agreement. I don't really have anything here. 47 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: I would think that Arsenal looks like a little overvalued, 48 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: but you're gonna tell me otherwise, bj oh, of course. 49 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: I mean I feel like I have to be Ersenal 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: here right against my hated Manchester United, and I mean, listen, 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: arsen They've been fine to begin the season. I don't 52 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 3: think you can sit here and say, oh my gosh, 53 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: they've been amazing. But I don't think it's time to 54 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: hit the panic button because they got caught on the 55 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 3: wrong side of some variants against Fulham Arsenal. They have 56 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: shown some cracks defensively, but they've only conceded two point 57 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: eight expected goals through three matches. That's second lowest Holy 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: City in the Premier League. So through three matches, so 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: I'm not really concerned about the defense. We'll see if 60 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 3: Gabrielle gets back into the side and if they push 61 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: Ben White out to right back and give themselves a 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: little more solidity, or if we continue to see Thomas 63 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: Party at right back. Whatever but this is more of 64 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: a bet against Manchester United, who is going through a 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: little bit of a transition period. Tactically, ten hoggis come 66 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 3: out and he says he wants to turn Manchester United 67 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: into the best transition team in the world. So what 68 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: you're seeing from United is they are playing much much 69 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: more aggressive with their pressing, trying to get forward. They 70 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: have forced forty one high turnovers through three matches, that 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: is the most of anybody in the Premier League. But 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 3: they've also been exposed in transition. You saw that again 73 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 3: Stottingham for us, You've seen it against Wolves, You've seen 74 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: it against Tottenham, and now you're going to be facing 75 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: Arsenal who destroyed you at the Emirates last season three 76 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: to two, three point one unexpected goals to point four. 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: Basically it was just Marcus Rashford had a banger from 78 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: outside the box Lessandra Martinez scored off a goalkeeping air 79 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: and that's all United really did against Arsenal, and Arsenal 80 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: just basically lived inside of the United's penalty area. Twenty 81 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: eight to five were shots in that match. I know 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: Casamiro didn't play, but if United's going to continue because 83 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: obviously now and then we'll get to the injuries in 84 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: a second. But if they're going to continue just playing 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 3: Casamiro and hoping that he can just clean up every 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: single transitional attack, it's just not going to happen. And 87 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: now they're gonna be without varn for an extended period 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: of time. Who is eight an elite defender at stopping 89 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: those transition one on one attacks. It's not that, it's 90 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: probably gonna be Linda Lola off alongside Lessandra Martinez. Then 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: you go to left back Luke Shaw's hurt, their second 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: Troyce Melissya is hurt. It's not playing Diego Dallo out 93 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 3: of position. There's so much going wrong here for United 94 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: in this aspect. And then we also get to the 95 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: stat that I always bring up, but United against the 96 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 3: top nine teams away from home last season picked up 97 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: nine points or two points. Excuse me. They've already lost 98 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 3: against Tottenham in London, and now you're going to Arsenal, 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: who is still I think still one of the best 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 3: teams in the Premier League. Obviously Arsenal should control out 101 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: of possession here. It's basically just if United can be 102 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: clinical with their counter attacks, but if they're going to 103 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: continue to play Christian Eriks in which they have to 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: because Mason Mount is hert They're gonna be in a 105 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: lot of trouble. So I do like Arsenal. I only 106 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: projected them at minus one seventeen, but because of the 107 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: injuries for United, I think you have to downgrade them 108 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: pretty significantly. And also o'nanna is just not a great 109 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: shot stop right. Know Anthony has said that quite a bit, 110 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: but if you're gonna be pinned in for most of 111 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 3: this match, you don't have David Dehaya to save you anymore. 112 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: So it's a really really difficult spot here for United, 113 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: and I think Arsenal is gonna blow them out. 114 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: A lot of confidence. 115 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it's too much, but I agree 116 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: it's I feel like Arsenal's being priced as if the 117 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: first three matches of the season didn't happen, and they did, they. 118 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: Were fine in those three matches. 119 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: I think it's I think you can make a case 120 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: that both teams kind of are I don't know, like 121 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: I was lower than the market on both teams coming 122 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: into the season. They got made that evidently clear every 123 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 2: episode of this podcast that we do. But I think 124 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: there are some more encouraging team news situation here for 125 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: Arsenal because we don't know the status of Gabrielle. We 126 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: don't know the status of Gabrielle Jesus, but I think 127 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: both of them coming in would make major upgrades. They 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 2: played Thomas Party at right back. I think that's dangerous 129 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: in this matchup because we saw Tottenham get exploited in 130 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: that first half with poor o high turnovers leading to 131 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: United big scoring chances that you know, ultimately they didn't 132 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: score them, but they created them. And I think that, 133 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: you know, Arsenal was so much better once Zinchenko came 134 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: on against Fulham, So getting him in there and getting 135 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: Ben White in there, I think makes them so much 136 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 2: better in the build up and getting the midfielders and 137 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: kind of building out from there, whereas Party like got 138 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: caught a couple of times and led to transitions. And 139 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: that's the reason Fulham got a point. Really was was 140 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: I thought Party played poorly and just really doesn't fit 141 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: the role that well. And Jesus, I think is an 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: upgrade over in Nikatya. You know, I've talked about Eddie 143 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: and how he gets shots and that's fine, but he 144 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: doesn't do nearly as much in the build up and 145 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: doesn't have nearly as much passing or dribbling ability compared 146 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: to Jesus, and I think Jesus is a better fit. 147 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: So you know, he just came off the bench, So 148 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: what's his status. That's a that's a major question mark 149 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 2: for this match. But yeah, I mean I still have 150 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: Arsenal clearly ahead of United, and then so once you 151 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: factor in home field, I do make Arsenal a bigger 152 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: favorite here. United. You talked about the injuries defensively, that's 153 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: a concern. They may get Hoylanden, but I'm not sure 154 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: based on Tenna's comments, you know, it was you know, 155 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: he was able to train this week and thus has 156 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: a chance to make the squad, So I don't think 157 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: we're going to see him start. I think he may 158 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: making Cameo off the bench, and that does help them 159 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 2: because it pushes Rashford out wide, and you know, they're 160 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: not so reliant on Casimiro, who actually has produced the 161 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: most expected goals for United this year so far, which 162 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: is kind of amazing non penalty that is. But you know, 163 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 2: I think that United flaws were kind of like perfectly 164 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: encapsulated in those opening minutes where when Mount comes in 165 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: for Eric, when Erickson comes in for Mount, who's hurt. 166 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: They are so much more relying on those two guys 167 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 2: Martinez and Casimir to stop everything. And they're looking more 168 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: and more like the i Ax ten hog that we 169 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: saw that was extremely vulnerable defensively, and so you know, 170 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: United will get to play off the ball more here. 171 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: They are naturally better that way. I will still say that, 172 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: but Arsenal just has a lot more consistent attacking firepower 173 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 2: and a much sturdier defense. So I'm gonna wait for 174 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: team news a little bit here, and you know it's 175 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: only Wednesday night we're recording this, so I haven't actually 176 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: bet this match yet, but you know, see what our 177 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: Teta says Friday and probably gonna end up firing, assuming 178 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: that you know we're getting jay esus Zinchenko Ben White here. 179 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: If it is part A, I'm gonna have to think 180 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 2: about it a little more because I really don't trust 181 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: them in that situation. But I do still like the 182 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 2: gunners here if anything. 183 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: And I think why you're seeing party at right back 184 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: right now, it's because Sinshenko hasn't really been healthy. So 185 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: if Arteta wants to invert somebody in the middle of pitch, 186 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: which he really does want to and now that obviously 187 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: Timber's hurt, he's not going to do with Kiwar He's 188 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: not going to do it necessarily to tell me aso 189 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: if he's going to play left back. So he's putting 190 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 3: party on the pitch to invert him to middle in 191 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: the middle there, so it's against team like United. I agree. 192 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 3: I think I would like to see Gabriel alongside Sleeve, 193 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: but with Ben White pushed out to write back, which 194 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: is what you saw for most last season. Allowings in 195 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: Chenko told be the one that inverts in the middle 196 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 3: of pitch. He's the one who really conducted that win 197 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: over over United last season was really really good in 198 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: the middle of the pitch. So let's hope we see 199 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 3: that on Sunday. 200 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: Two point XG is not bad for Arsenal, But they 201 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: also haven't played anybody, right, Yeah, that's my point. It's like, 202 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: I mean, also like they've been really bad their bottom 203 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: five in like every defensive metric. United hasn't really played 204 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: an elite attack either. I know you don't. You guys 205 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 2: like Tottenham more than I do. But they they they 206 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: haven't played like any like Wolves Forest and Tottenham is 207 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: not like. 208 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: Attacking the line to me just doesn't make sense because 209 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: I don't think either has made much sense to begin 210 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: the season either, So I'll probably be passing all right. 211 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: So that's Sunday at eleven thirty. Will now jump back 212 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: to Friday ribbon cutting. Little ribbon cutting for the Premier 213 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: League at Kenilworth Road, Newton Town's first Premier League match 214 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: at home since nineteen ninety six. I believe, so good 215 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: on you to the hatters. They're big home underdog plus 216 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: three seventy five hosting west Ham who Man, we read 217 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: them wrong right after the case David Moyes is he 218 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: might might get the He might be the next manager 219 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: at Man City with the way he's he's put this 220 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: team through the first three matches wes Hams minus went 221 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: thirty four and the draws plus two seventy five. I'm 222 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: going into uh into my toolbox here one of my 223 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: favorite bets to make. I haven't made this one yet 224 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: this season. Last time I made it was US women's 225 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: national team against Sweden and a cash the old nil 226 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: nil ten to one. I'll tell you why. So west 227 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: Ham has come out of the gates, firing scoring a 228 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: ton for for Compared to what we expected out of them, 229 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: games have been pretty open. They've been a little lucky 230 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: defensively as well. Looton Town. They're giving up goals in 231 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: their two matches obviously, They've they've struggled tough, tough opening 232 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: first two matches as well. Like schedule maker didn't make 233 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: do them any favors obviously, So I just think that 234 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: this match screams looting Town at home in front of 235 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: their own fans, going and just doing everything they can 236 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 1: to keep the ball out of the back of the net, 237 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: like stay in this game as long as possible, and 238 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that west Ham set up to beat 239 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: a team that does that. So I think this could 240 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: be just two walls staring at each other for a 241 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: while in front of a raucous home crowd at Kenilworth Road. 242 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: And what better way to welcome the Hatters back to 243 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: the Premier League get home than a nice nil nil 244 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: on Friday night lights. I think this is gonna be 245 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: a very low event match, so I'll take a little 246 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: piece of ten to one nil nil BJ. What do 247 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: you think? 248 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: I think that I'm in a big conundrum here, I'm 249 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 3: gonna pass, but this is the spot if you ever 250 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: wanted to bet Town. They were not good for I'd 251 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 3: say sixty minutes of that match against Chelsea, But what 252 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 3: I will say, Michael is they did something that through 253 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 3: the great Marisia Poachatino for a loop and he didn't 254 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: really know what to do there for thirty minutes. Loutontown 255 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: last season in the Championship was the most direct team. 256 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 3: Eighty percent of their goalkicks went long, like they just 257 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: basically tried to win duels in the middle of the pitch, 258 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 3: and it's not really shocking that Chelsea sat off. They 259 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 3: didn't want to press high because they were like, well, 260 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: they're just going to send the ball along, so let's 261 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: focus on winning those duels in the middle of the pitch. 262 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 3: Then after about thirty minutes after the first goal went in, 263 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: Rob Edwards just like let's just start building out of 264 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 3: the back, and it kind of throw Chelsea for a 265 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: loop where they're where Enzo and Caseda were playing so 266 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: deep and they're like, wait, do we do we come 267 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: up and press these guys? Do we sit deep or 268 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: like what do we do here? And Lutontown started to 269 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: kind of grow into that match, and I'd say from 270 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: about mint thirty to minute sixty, like they were on 271 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 3: par and even with Chelsea. But that's about the peak 272 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 3: that you have with Lutontown right now that they can't 273 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: beyond that thy minutes. 274 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: It was bad. 275 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: So maybe as the season goes along they'll get better 276 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 3: and grow into this, but the talent gap is so 277 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 3: wide between them and Chelsea. And you know, looking back 278 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: on it, was it a bad bet? Yeah, sure it 279 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 3: was betting Luton Town against Chelsea. But again, if you we, 280 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: west Ham is overvalied here, like there is just no 281 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 3: place on earth that they should be minus one forty 282 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: or minus one twenty, whatever they're at right now. I 283 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: protected them at plus one nineteen. This is the spot 284 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 3: home opener, Lutontown at home. They just got killed by 285 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: Chelsea and Brighton, who are way better. And I still think, 286 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: you know, Chelsea is obviously better than west Ham and 287 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: west Ham is gonna be really good when they can 288 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 3: play David moist ball, sit back like they did against 289 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: Brighton and just play on the counter. Edison Alvarez is 290 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: a boy. He's a really really good addition. For them 291 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: in the middle of the pitch. He clogged up the 292 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 3: middle of the pitch and allowed Brighten tone nothing through there. 293 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 3: But this is a match where they're gonna have to 294 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: have to have ball, Michael. They're gonna have to both 295 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 3: the back, They're gonna have to break them down. They're 296 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: gonna have to play. 297 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying, man, this. 298 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: So if you streams town, I think this is the 299 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 3: spot to back them, But I don't think I can 300 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: do it. 301 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: Anthony, Yeah, I agree. 302 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: I agree with bj pretty much everything he said, although 303 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: except the part about the thirty minutes to the sixty minute. 304 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 3: I mean it was they were on par with them. 305 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: They were growing into the match. 306 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then they then they got and it was over. 307 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, of course that happens, But like for thirty minutes, 308 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 3: they were kind of on par with them. 309 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 2: Hang the banner. The banner played even with like the 310 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: sixth best team in the league on the road three 311 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: minutes in the second match of the season. Now, like 312 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: it's true, like these are the two teams through three 313 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: matches that had the lowest possession in the league. West 314 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: Ham's the twenty nine percent through three matches, Yet they 315 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: have seven points. They played three teams who really want 316 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: to have the ball, and they let all three of 317 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: those teams have the ball and then we're really good 318 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: on the counter. But we've seen this with west Ham. 319 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, why was west Ham in the relegations last 320 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: year for part of the season until they figured some 321 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: things out and you know, ran better. They ran really poorly, yes, 322 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: but they were not good against the bottom teams that 323 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: are around them at getting margin and separating from them because 324 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: they were really bad in you know, settled possession. So 325 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: this is going to be the real test for them. 326 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: It would be looting or nothing. For me as well, 327 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: I am growing concern, growing some concern that we may 328 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: not know the floor of some of the bottom teams 329 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 2: in this league. Yeah, because we talked about this on 330 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: the preview show, like we thought, like, man, these bottom 331 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: seven teams, six teams, they kind of did nothing all 332 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: year in the offseason to get better. And then we said, like, well, 333 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: the top eight, we kind of like a lot of 334 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: these teams relatively and think they break you know, the 335 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: rich get rich or the poor get poor. And if 336 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: that's the case, like west Ham is the team kind 337 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 2: of in the middle, that would benefit from that by 338 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: beating up the bad teams, and you know, noisy their 339 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: way to some points against the good teams. So yeah, 340 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: from a market perspective, I can't get there on west Ham, 341 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: but if it gets to plus one, I will be 342 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 2: a happy Luton town backer. But right now I'm three 343 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 2: quarters all right. 344 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: We're about to talk about Everden, which means that we're 345 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: also going to talk about our sponsor, cal Dara Lab, 346 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: who create high performance men skincare products.

So so Sheffield United and Everdon Saturday morning, seven 383 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,719 Speaker 1: thirty am. This one's taking place in Sheffield plus two hundred. 384 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: The Blades are at home, Everton is a road favorite 385 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: plus one forty five on the three way line, and 386 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: the draws plus two twenty. Genuinely, and I honestly mean 387 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: this genuinely, I was just questioning why I do it 388 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,199 Speaker 1: to myself anymore on Saturday. I think I've had like 389 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: little moments of that with with Everton in the past, 390 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: like very little with like the Islanders have had some 391 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: moments like that, But I think I feel like this 392 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: was the biggest one I've had because that that match 393 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: honestly felt like somebody would just scripted it as let's 394 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: just play a joke on this guy that jose Sa 395 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 1: save Ashley Young straight out of my nightmares. But I 396 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: don't know how you don't back Everton in some way 397 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: here like they're they're creating chances and there they're matches 398 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: against the two teams that I would say are in 399 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 1: their cohort Fulham and Wolves, and I know those matches 400 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: were at home have been really good, except they just 401 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: don't score and they have one defensive laps and it 402 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: ends up in the back of their net, maybe a 403 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: couple more than one against Wolves. But they should be 404 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 1: able to create again here and they now have a finisher. 405 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's an over or Everton 406 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: team total or the Everdent money line, but I'll I'm 407 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: gonna need more Colt THEA Lab because I'll probably be 408 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: backing Everton. That's in some way your anthony. 409 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm taking the week off. 410 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: Well, I mean you're taking three weeks off because we 411 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: got a great Covied. 412 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: We have the Air National break and then we'll be 413 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 2: back the following weekend. I haven't looked at the schedule yet, 414 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: but well it's yeah, yeah, so I'm taking I'm taking 415 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: the week off. Look, there are spots where I think 416 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: Everton will have betting value this season as a road 417 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 2: favorite against one of the worst teams in this league. 418 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: I do not think that's one of them. When I 419 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 2: look at this. You know, Sheffield United is a team 420 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 2: that I have not bet on or against yet this season. 421 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,239 Speaker 2: I think I'm still kind of gathering more data on 422 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 2: what they are. The performance against City, Like, I know, 423 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 2: they tied it late and could have gotten a result there, 424 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 2: but it was not particularly encouraging given the shot disparity 425 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: and the total domination that City had over that match, 426 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 2: and probably could have won it going away. You know, 427 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: they hung in their credit to them. But the numbers 428 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: on these promoted teams so far, uh, it's it's alarming. 429 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 2: So I'm going to pass here. 430 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: I want one bet that I think you should absolutely 431 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: consider sprinkling. Is Tom Davis anytime goal scorer for for 432 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: Sheffield United. After he's gonna play, is he's probably even 433 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: if he even if he's on the bench, he will 434 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: come on in the eighty six minute and score. It 435 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: should be it should be one hundred to one. I 436 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: mean actually should be like a thousand. 437 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: Sprinkle like Everton over one and a half goals here. 438 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: Beytell is a great signing, Michael. I'm gonna tell you 439 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: that right now. He's an incredibly He's played an essay 440 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 3: system that's been primarily transitional for a long time that 441 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: are on a point five xg per minute striker, which 442 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 3: is the same as Dominie Calvert Lewin. I don't think 443 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: he has much of an injury history. So if he 444 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: can stay healthy and maybe we get Dominie Calvert Lewin back, 445 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: this could be a really good front too. So if 446 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 3: anything for me would be Everton team total over one 447 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 3: and a half and plus one fifty. There's no chance 448 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to back Everton is a road favorite, especially 449 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: given how hectic we're pressing. 450 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: Is I'm gonna do Anana was really impressive in the 451 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: Wolves match. I know people have been doing the the 452 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: highlight reels of how well he played in that match. 453 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: I thought he was really impressive in the midfield and 454 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: is still giving them decent production. Like everything except the 455 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: penalty area finishing has been good for Everton this year 456 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 2: relative to expectations. Of course, I don't know how much 457 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 2: betto is gonna save them, you know, like you said, 458 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: BJ zero point four to six x g per ninety 459 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: and SIIA last year. That's okay, that's not like gonna 460 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: come save the team numbers, especially with two and a 461 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: half shots per ninety. But like you said, yeah, he's 462 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: a decent dribbler and transition and he does a lot 463 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: of defensive work, which I think is the most impressive 464 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 2: thing about his profile. And while he fits this evererteen team. Well, 465 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 2: if they want to keep pressing and doing this style, 466 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: there are encouraging signs that may work. And so he can. 467 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: I mean, as long as he can hit a three 468 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: foot putt, he'll he'll score because they've. 469 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 2: Read too and like the bar is so long for finishing. 470 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and hey, I mean Cheffley United just lost to 471 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: Lincoln City and in the AFL Cup, and if you 472 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: look at the that they put out there, it's not 473 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 3: a lot different than the one that they've been playing 474 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: so far this season. 475 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it Everyden went on the road to 476 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: Doncaster and came from behind. Yeah, Betho and Juma. All right, 477 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: So I'll be on everdon BJ on some sort of 478 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: evident team total. I haven't decided. I might play like 479 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: Lea minus one and a half or something. And Anthony's 480 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: taking the week off for some reason. 481 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 3: Well, Redford is right out of the international break too, 482 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 3: because yes, who they play Luton play Arsenal at home? 483 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: Great? 484 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding, I'm not. Oh that's so good man, 485 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: that's so good. All right, Well, you know what, I'll 486 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: be back in two weeks. I might bet it now, 487 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll bet it now. Just there's already lines up. 488 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go find a line and maybe I'll fire 489 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: in the app now, just to just to feel something. 490 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: All right. Brentford and Bourne Myth. Now, this is at 491 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: the Brentford Community Stadium. The Bees minus one thirty eight 492 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: at home, Bourne Myth plus three seventy five. On the road, 493 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 1: the Draws plus two eighty. The Andoni Eiola Revolution is 494 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: sputtering out of the gates. But I think we kind 495 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: of expected that this is a complete system change, kind 496 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: of philosophy change at the club. But I do think 497 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: eventually that this team will start surprising people, not too 498 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: dissimilar to the team they're playing Brentford on Saturday. I 499 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: like the cherries here. I think that this is a 500 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: good price. I think that we're going to see and 501 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: we have seen Brentford get a little flattered by the 502 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: betting market a little bit. I mean, the secret's out 503 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: on this team. It's a solid, solid Premier League club 504 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: and I think that you're gonna have good opportunity to 505 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: invest in the ceiling for Bourne Myth and against a 506 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: team that has flaws like Brentford does, it's not a 507 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: bad spot. This is this line just looks way too 508 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: big for me, so yeah, give me the cherries BJA. 509 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: I know it's a little yeah against the ethos of 510 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: this this podcast to go against Brentford, but when their 511 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: mind is what forty, it changes things. 512 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 3: It does change things. Yeah, it's an easy pass here 513 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 3: for me. Line is about right to where I have 514 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: in the market Bourne myth the press has been kay 515 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 3: head or miss. I think what's going to happen with 516 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: them is I think you've kind of seen it so far, 517 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 3: is that when they play elite build up teams like 518 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: they gave Liverpool a little bit of scare for a 519 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: little bit. Then Liverpool changed and things tactically started moving. 520 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 3: Trent Augson on't a little world wide and Bournemouth really 521 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: couldn't press them in wide areas. Then they played against 522 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: Tottenham obviously, and Tottenham build up pretty seemingly against them. 523 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 3: But you know, nine point eight pass per defensive action 524 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 3: through three matches you already start to kind of see 525 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 3: the Eeriola changes there, twenty seven high turnovers. But you know, again, 526 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 3: this is just yeah, right round where I have it projected. 527 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 3: So I think it's an easy pass Brentford. 528 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: It spurs Anthony. 529 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: There's a lot of injuries here for Bournemouth, right, Like 530 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 2: we have to kind of keep that in consideration because 531 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: they have done a decent bit of business here. But 532 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: you know, Tavinier is injured, Smith is injured, Adams is 533 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 2: still injured, Fredericks is injured. He's gonna be out of 534 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 2: a while. So like there's a lot of missing pieces 535 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 2: here for what they want to be, and so I 536 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: think Bournemouth may be a team that maybe we need 537 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: to wait on a little bit. Now the market has 538 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: moved toward Bournemouth a little bit. Like Brentford was minus 539 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: one sixty one sixty five. If you can get a 540 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: plus one, then yes, we're going to bet the Cherries 541 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: here because Brentford as a favorite. Trying to get margin 542 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 2: against a what I think is okay Bournemouth team is 543 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: going to be a struggle. But Brentford also, interestingly did 544 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 2: have sixty percent of the ball against Pallace at home. 545 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: Now that's interesting because Brentford almost never outpossesses their opponents 546 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 2: in situations where they're even in positive game stags, which 547 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 2: was the case in that game against Palace. So I 548 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: do find it interesting that they were able to keep 549 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: more of the ball in that game, because this is, 550 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,680 Speaker 2: like I said, this team that had over fifty five 551 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 2: percent possession in about five games last year in the league. 552 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 2: Two of the five they were down early. So that 553 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: plays a big role in kind of, you know, who 554 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 2: has more the ball, So you know, our team's giving 555 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 2: Brentford more respect and kind of adjusting tactically to what 556 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 2: they've done to this league for two years. I think 557 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: that could be part of the case. But again, like 558 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 2: Burman is not going to be the team that's going 559 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 2: to do that. Barman's gonna want the ball and Bournemouth 560 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: is going to kind of play into Brentford's hands a 561 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 2: little bit. So it does give me a little bit 562 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: of concern from like a tactical perspective as this press 563 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: continues to get ironed out, Like we were joking leave 564 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: Off about how Arail is going to get fired on Monday, 565 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: Like they've played three really you know, an average team 566 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: in west Ham and like two top six or seven teams, 567 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 2: Like if they you know, if they keep losing to 568 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: bad teams, then it's a problem. But so far, I'm 569 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: still willing to give this a chance because they have 570 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: not had their full compliment of best players available, So. 571 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: I'll be on the cherry's Anthony's afraid be just passed. 572 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 3: Through. 573 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 4: We'll play the way we want you with big Arge, 574 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 4: Coasta Coblo, will. 575 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 3: I ride or round? It's big gogeball. 576 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: So you can keep your posit Gino con Sa Marino 577 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: and even Christian Grous. You could say everywhere we go. 578 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 4: I'm loving Big Aginstead, I guess I'm a Spurs. 579 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Fun now then Burnley and Spurs Now, this one at 580 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: Turf Moore plus two eighty on the clarits at home 581 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: Spurs odds on minus one eighteen. That draw is plus 582 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: three hundred. Uh. I'll just continue to say that Anthony 583 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: just did not like the hire of Pasta. 584 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: He was season, which I still kind of am. 585 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: Kind of I think the numbers in our show notes 586 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: I just jotted down I'm getting a little afraid of 587 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,479 Speaker 1: the market. Love for Spurs, but this isn't the spot. Uh, 588 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: Burnley look a little out of sorts your BJ. 589 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, Vincent company, you can't press like you did 590 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 3: in the Championship, buddy, Like that's not gonna work here 591 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 3: in the Premier League. If you watch that match against Villa, 592 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 3: they were pressing with a front four, and so if 593 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 3: you do that, Yes, they've closed down against teams in 594 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 3: the Championship for a bunch of high turnovers and people 595 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 3: thought they were one of the best teams in the 596 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: Championship has ever seen. Well, now you're in the Premier 597 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 3: League and you've seen it. They've faced an elite build 598 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 3: up team like City and now they've faced a good 599 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 3: build up team in aston Villa. If you want to 600 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 3: press with the front four, especially against Villa, who's going 601 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: with a you know, a build up style, you usually 602 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 3: a round a three two five or something like that. 603 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 3: Once you beat that first line of the press, and 604 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: if you're not effective in stopping it, you're gonna get 605 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: horsed in transition. And that's exactly what happened against Aston Villas. 606 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 3: So if Tottham hits even money here, I'm going to 607 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 3: bet them because if post Cold is gonna which he 608 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 3: will continue to build up in a two three five, 609 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 3: and Burnley for whatever reason, just continues to press with 610 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 3: a front four, Todam's gonna absolutely rip them apart. They're 611 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: gonna have numeracical advantages all over the pitch once they 612 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 3: break the first line of the press. So to Ham 613 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 3: h's even money, I'll do it. I think Burnley is 614 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 3: gonna have They'll be good against bottom half table sides 615 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 3: who don't build out well are very transitional. I mean 616 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 3: to be fair to Burnley, it's still a very young team. 617 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 3: It's still there's still a lot of new faces that 618 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 3: haven't really gelled together yet. But I mean company, you 619 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: can't just press like with reckless abandon but like you 620 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 3: did in the Championship and just expect everything to work. 621 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 3: You gotta sit off against good build up teams and 622 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna do that. So Tottenham, if 623 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 3: it's plus money or nothing for me. 624 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: Three matches in too, they went to Brentford and played 625 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 2: them out even they hosted United, had a really good 626 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: second half, but overall was about even then they were 627 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 2: better than Bournemouth the way. I don't know what we've 628 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: learned about Tottenham besides the fact that they don't have 629 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: a striker because with Charleston once again was largely a 630 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: non factor in the match. And I really don't think 631 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 2: this is a great role and fit for Son right 632 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: now in his situation. And so where are the shots 633 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: coming from for Tottenham to get margin against these teams. 634 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: And I think you kind of saw that against Bournemouth, 635 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 2: where Madison and sar are like the two guys who 636 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: are doing the attacking right now, and that's it. Like 637 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 2: the Kuleseevsky gets the goal. It was a great finish, 638 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 2: but they weren't overwhelming the Bournemouth goal. And so if 639 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: a team is willing to sit off a little bit 640 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: more and dare Tottham to beat them, I think they 641 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: might have some problems with that. Being said, that's not 642 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 2: really born Burnley either. Like you said, you know, so 643 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 2: many of these teams are playing more progressive styles and 644 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Speaker 2: more pressing and making this more interesting. And yeah, Burnley 645 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 2: against Villa it was alarmingly bad. I didn't get a 646 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: chance to watch the match, but digging into the advanced 647 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: box score, it did not get better. It got a 648 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: lot worse, Burnley having more of the possession and just 649 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: getting destroyed and conceding inside five minutes. So overall here, 650 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,959 Speaker 2: if I didn't think that, you know, Villa plus one 651 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 2: fifteen was good enough, I'm definitely not laying it with 652 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 2: minus one twenty with Tottenham. But again, and this is 653 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: the overarching kind of theme of what I've been thinking 654 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: about for the last week since we've last recorded, how 655 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: bad are these bad teams? Because I just don't know 656 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: that we have an adequate sample yet. And Burnley is 657 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: a team that maybe has the higher ceiling of the three, 658 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 2: but also has a pretty low floor here, and we 659 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: mentioned this on the preview pod, like they could just 660 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: bottom out with the style not translating to the prem 661 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 2: So I'm in waiting and see mode on them too. 662 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: Another ten am start Saturday, Chelsea and Forrest is at 663 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: Stanford Bridge, where Chelsea's a minus two fifty home favorite. 664 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: Forrest man blew that two nil lead against United there 665 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: plus seven fifty on the road, the draws plus three 666 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: fifty here bout where it was for the match against United. 667 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: I feel like that makes some sense given the questions 668 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: we have about United and Chelsea just from kind of 669 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 1: an overall big picture are similar, so it would be 670 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: forced to nothing. I know neither of you have a 671 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: bet here, but Anthony, I'll go to you for which 672 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: is a quick quick show notes on Chelsea and Forced Yeah. 673 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 2: I mean, whatever we thought of Chelsea before last week, 674 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 2: I don't think we can change much based on that 675 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 2: game against Luton. Town because it's a home game against 676 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 2: the worst team in the league. They were fine. They 677 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: went through large periods of the match, like b Jay said, 678 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 2: where you know Lowton was growing into the game. I 679 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 2: thought it was just like Chelsea wasn't really getting any 680 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 2: good chances off of what was pretty controlled play. And 681 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 2: so the question now is is force attack real? That's 682 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 2: the real question in this match for me, because look, 683 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 2: they scored twice inside five minutes against Man United, once 684 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 2: on on a really good counter attack, once off a 685 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 2: set piece. But they have now put up some pretty 686 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 2: encouraging attacking performances in this league so far, and like 687 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 2: enough to the point where like maybe we have to 688 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 2: raise our ceiling on what they are because creating one 689 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 2: point two expected goals against Arsenal is a good showing. 690 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 2: And you know, we said, well what does that say 691 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,800 Speaker 2: about Arsenal? What does that say about Forest? Because Taiwo 692 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 2: on the pitch last season, toward the end of the 693 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: season is when they finally had the attack tick up 694 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: enough to make up for the fact their defense is 695 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 2: really really bad. And he scored a bunch of goals 696 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 2: at the end of the season and he's kind of 697 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 2: picked up right where he left off, he misses the 698 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 2: first match, comes in and has been really productive for 699 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 2: them in this early, you know, early stretch. So do 700 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,479 Speaker 2: I think they're going to score you know, five goals 701 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 2: every three games. No, But I think there's a good 702 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 2: chance that the market is too low on this attack. 703 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 2: So I think this is a good overlook if anything, 704 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: because I you know, I still have questions about how 705 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 2: many shots Chelsea's going to get here going forward. You know, 706 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 2: Sterling looking rejuvenated is certainly a big plus, but this 707 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 2: Forest attack being real looks real to me. So I 708 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 2: think that this could be another open, back and forth 709 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: kind of foresty game, similar to last week when United 710 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: and Forrest both scored with inside fifteen. 711 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. And the thing is, you know Chelsea last season 712 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 3: they were eighteenth next years per set piece all out, 713 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 3: so Nottingham Forest can definitely be live here off the 714 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 3: set piece. And Cole Well went off on an injury 715 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: today in the League Cup for Chelsea as well, so 716 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 3: that's a huge loss to their defense, like massive because 717 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 3: now it's. 718 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: You know, fun So. 719 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 3: I mean we'll see, like the defensive options now for 720 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 3: Chelsea are starting to get thinner and thinner given the 721 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 3: injuries that they have, so be interesting to see. I 722 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 3: have not looked what Nottingham Forrest is to score here, 723 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: but if it's a decent number, it might be worth 724 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 3: a play. 725 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: All right. So I think we're all generally leaning towards 726 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,919 Speaker 1: Forrest being at least a little bit live there. We'll see. 727 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: I'll see way the number goes too. 728 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 3: But to score that's interesting, maybe a little high, but 729 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 3: I might have to watch that throughout the week. 730 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 1: City and Fulham. The Citizen's minus seven hundred at home, 731 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,320 Speaker 1: Fulham sixteen to one. On the road, the draw here 732 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 1: plus seven fifty. The big news for Fulham is the Paulineya. 733 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,319 Speaker 1: It looks like he's well, yeah, they continue to to 734 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 1: do Fulham things, but it looks like he's on his 735 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: way to Byron Munich, so that could be a disaster 736 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 1: for them. Their price is basically the same by the 737 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: way to be relegated as it was in the preseason, 738 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: which kind of tells you a couple of things about 739 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: this team. Because they just got a point off Arsenal. 740 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,720 Speaker 1: They beat Everton, one of the teams they'd be competing 741 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: with in the relegation scrap on the road, but they 742 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: are still let's just say the market isn't convinced. I 743 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 1: guess from that, what are the odds right now in 744 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: them plus. 745 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: Four fifty plus four to fifty to be relegated. 746 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 2: The problem is that, like there's so many other bad teams. Yep. 747 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:55,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, the conversation we had at the preview, I mean, 748 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: I always like to try to go again City in 749 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: these kind of spots the week before an international breaks, 750 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But this full of defense is just horrible. 751 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: It's just not good enough to cope here. So honestly, 752 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: would look at, you know, rapping City minus one and 753 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: a half in a college football parlay or Premier League 754 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: parlay or whatever, rather than play the big price on 755 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: Fulham j Yeah. 756 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 3: You might win parlay with like Utah State under team 757 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 3: total against Iowa. Yeah, I'm taking City minus two and 758 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 3: a half. I don't think. I I can't remember the 759 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 3: last time I've taken City on a spread like this 760 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 3: to cover it feel like I'm always betting against them, 761 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 3: But I mean, my goodness, I mean, I mean, what 762 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 3: what are we gonna do? I mean, I don't know. 763 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 3: I'm getting so sick of this with Home and it's 764 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 3: driving me insane through three match weeks now it's Everton, 765 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 3: Brentford and Arsenal. They have conceded nine point five expect goals, 766 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,400 Speaker 3: fifty three shots and one hundred and fifteen touches in 767 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 3: their penalty area. Lano, he's a plus three point seven 768 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 3: post shot actually plus minus. He is saving over a 769 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 3: goal for ninety what he should be. It's literally insane 770 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 3: how good this team runs. Calvin Bassi gets a red 771 00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 3: card and of course they score off a sepie against 772 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,879 Speaker 3: Arsenal and get the point. He's gonna be out. That's 773 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 3: just gonna be Tim Reen back there. I don't know 774 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,720 Speaker 3: how they stopped City unless some dark hearts things happen. 775 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,280 Speaker 3: I mean, if you go back to last season, Fulham 776 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 3: conceded twenty seven expected goals against the Big six and 777 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 3: twelve matches. That's really, really bad. They've shown no competence 778 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 3: in defending around their penalty And like you said, Michael, 779 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,359 Speaker 3: if Paulina does leave for Bayern and we'll obviously we're 780 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,960 Speaker 3: gonna find out after we record this, because the transfer 781 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 3: window closes on Thursday, I mean, they're gonna have nothing 782 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 3: in the middle of the pitch. I mean, if they're 783 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,759 Speaker 3: in talks assigned to Obie. That's fine, but he won't 784 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,359 Speaker 3: make up for the ball stopping that Polina does. I 785 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,600 Speaker 3: just think City can pick their score here. I understand 786 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,400 Speaker 3: I Roy has hurt, but they have plenty of options 787 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 3: to break down a little buck. With Alvarez, Vodengrealish and Silva, 788 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 3: they'll create over two and a half expected goals. If 789 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 3: you go back to last season, both matches ended two 790 00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 3: to one Fulham. They got a City a red card 791 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 3: in the twenty fifth minute in this match at the 792 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 3: empty had and from that point then Fulham scored a penalty. 793 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 3: From that point on, Fulham took three shots and created 794 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 3: point two x she and they were upp a man. 795 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 3: So I don't know. I'm just I'm so sick of Fulham. 796 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 3: They're gonna bottom out at some point and I just 797 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 3: don't know how they stop City. I think City can 798 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 3: really pick their score here. So City minus two and 799 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 3: a half plus one twenty five for me. 800 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: Great sounds sounds like a great way to head into the. 801 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 3: Two to one win for City. Ninety sixth minute. 802 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: Brighton and Newcastle. This is probably the match of the 803 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: weekend in terms of stakes, and this is fun. Brighton's 804 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: plus one fifty five at home Newcastle plus one fifty 805 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 1: on the road. The draws plus two to seventy five. 806 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: Both teams coming off of losses that haven't probably scratching 807 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: their head a bit right into west Ham and Newcastle 808 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: blowing it. 809 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 2: That would be an understatement. 810 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, no. 811 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 3: Goodness, smash and grab big time. 812 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 2: Shout out to Avery Zimmerman for hitting Liverpools sixteen to one. 813 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 2: He only it's our opper editor and tennis guy at 814 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 2: Action Network. He he only mentioned that to me a 815 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 2: dozen times to rub it in about the fact that 816 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 2: you know, we all had Newcastle and look, it's the 817 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 2: perils of playing the way Newcastle does. They want to 818 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 2: get out and transition. We talked about how good they 819 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 2: are with Leeds. Normally it's because teams have to come 820 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 2: on to them and then they are able to hit 821 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 2: them on the break. But it was kind of a 822 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: weird stalemate for a while there because yes, Almeron hits 823 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 2: the post, Allison makes that absurd save. Newcastle in that 824 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 2: match was in their state where they had to have 825 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 2: the ball because Liverpool was saying, well, we're down to 826 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 2: ten men, so we may be down a goal, but 827 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 2: we're gonna let you have the ball and then we're 828 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 2: just gonna ping it up to Darwin and he's gonna 829 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,360 Speaker 2: out athlete spend batman into a goal and then do 830 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 2: it again and then we're gonna win. So it was. 831 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 2: It was a fascinating matchup Liverpool. You know, we'll get 832 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,400 Speaker 2: to them in a minute. But from a Newcastle perspective, 833 00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 2: the market has moved pretty solidly towards them since last weekend. 834 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 2: I think that obviously has more to say about Brighton 835 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 2: than Newcastle. We're learning the limitations of what Brighton is 836 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 2: because they lost Caceto and they don't they you know, 837 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 2: they bring in Balleba from Leale, not sure that he'll 838 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 2: start this weekend. They need more defensive midfield ball winning 839 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 2: because this is not going to work. They are going 840 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,840 Speaker 2: to score a lot. They are number one in passing, 841 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 2: the penalty are number one and cross as they're doing 842 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 2: incredible stuff. From a shots perspective, they just brought it 843 00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,799 Speaker 2: onto Fati, who was putting up some ridiculously good goal 844 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,800 Speaker 2: scoring production numbers in limited minutes for Barcelona last season. 845 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 2: So like, there's a lot to like about this Brighton attack. 846 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 2: But you know, you can't outscore everybody. That being said, 847 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 2: Newcastle and Brighton are close enough in my power ratings 848 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 2: to the point that once I put home field advantage 849 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 2: in it, I make Brighton about what it was last week, 850 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,240 Speaker 2: which was around plus one thirty five. Now that Brighton's 851 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 2: been bet down to a pick them, of course I 852 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,120 Speaker 2: downgraded Brighton, but I also downgraded Newcastle off of last week, 853 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 2: and I think that this game ends up right where 854 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 2: I had it last week, which is bright is a 855 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,640 Speaker 2: slight home favorite, so at a coin flip game, I'm 856 00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 2: gonna take the goals. 857 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. I like Brighton here too. I think that they 858 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 1: they do enough things that Liverpool does well that gave 859 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 1: Newcastle problems that they could almost Obviously, this game is 860 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: not gonna look like that one, because that one is 861 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: a one in a thousand shot. But they do enough 862 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,879 Speaker 1: of those of these things well, turning the ball over, 863 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: high pressing, putting the ball on the carpet, and just 864 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: being an all action team that I don't think Newcastle 865 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 1: really coped with it well. And Newcastle honestly that that 866 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 1: game against Villa you can kind of throw out the script. 867 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 1: It was two to one with thirteen minutes. Things just 868 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: kind of got out of hand. 869 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 2: Well, the thing that scares me is actually what happened 870 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 2: in that match because Villa was trying to have the 871 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,920 Speaker 2: ball and build out a ton and they just ran 872 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 2: into like Newcastle walls and then Newcastle just destroyed them 873 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 2: on the break. And like, if that happens kind of 874 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,000 Speaker 2: similar to what just happened on Saturday, you could you 875 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,799 Speaker 2: could easily see a narrative like angle here where it's 876 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:04,560 Speaker 2: like Brighton has the ball, Brighton has the ball, Brighton 877 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:06,440 Speaker 2: has the ball, and Newcastle does what they were so 878 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 2: good at last year, which is eventually win the ball, 879 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: break score, create a ton of big chances. They're just 880 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 2: like a better version of what west Ham just did. 881 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 2: That's a strong case. But again, like even with that 882 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 2: tactical concern, like the number is still the number and 883 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 2: now Newcastle is a road favorite. That's a big difference 884 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 2: between catching a quarter goal, which is what they were 885 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 2: a week ago. So as bad as Brighton was in 886 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 2: that game against west Ham, they still had a ton 887 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 2: of shots, a ton of chances. Ariola made some bread 888 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 2: saves like they could have gotten back into that game. 889 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,799 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna roll with the goals. This is 890 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: the third goals bet for me of the season. And look, 891 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 2: we all agreed last week like Brighton's gotten too high 892 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,439 Speaker 2: in the market, but then the market has now knocked 893 00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,399 Speaker 2: them down a solid peg here and I'm gonna bet 894 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 2: that that's probably just an over reaction to one game. 895 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: And I think it's just that everybody's obsessed with Newcastle. 896 00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like them. They didn't create a 897 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,279 Speaker 2: ton in that match against Newcastle Liverpool, but they'd been 898 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 2: Their best chance came because stand agan Xandarno couldn't stop 899 00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 2: the ball, something that soccer players gonna do. 900 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, BJ what what are your thoughts here anything? 901 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 2: Yeah? 902 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 3: I mean a lot of what you guys are kind 903 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 3: of saying is leading me towards and over here. The 904 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 3: thing with Brighton and what we've been talking about quite 905 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 3: a bit, is there are two different ways to play 906 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,480 Speaker 3: against them, right, Like, you can play the way that 907 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,720 Speaker 3: west Ham did, sit in a just really compact low block, 908 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 3: but you have to be elite defensively to keep out 909 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 3: a lot of those chances which west Ham did, or 910 00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,920 Speaker 3: you have to press them high and go into and 911 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 3: take the bait and try to force those high turnovers. 912 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 3: There are very few teams that will, first off, dare 913 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,200 Speaker 3: to press Brighton and there's only been a few teams 914 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 3: that's that actually been successful in doing so. One of 915 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 3: those is Newcastle. If you go back to last season, 916 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 3: Newcastle absolutely destroyed Brighton at Saint Chances Park. I don't 917 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,319 Speaker 3: have the high turnover dated in front of me, but 918 00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 3: it was a lot because Brighton controlled sixty five percent 919 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 3: of the ball in that match. They lost for one 920 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 3: and Newcastle created three point six expected goals now shot 921 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 3: them twenty two to six. They just absolutely beat up 922 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 3: Brighton when they were trying to build up. Now that's 923 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 3: not to say that that's going to happen again, but 924 00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,480 Speaker 3: it's a good picture of what can happen to Brighton 925 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 3: when things go terribly wrong, and it's going to lead 926 00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,759 Speaker 3: to a bunch of chaos as well, because if Newcastle's 927 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 3: going to press them high, well we know this with 928 00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 3: Brighton is that once they beat that first line of 929 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 3: the press, it is one two touch football and it's 930 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 3: a transitional opportunity and it's going to be back and 931 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 3: forth coming to like a basketball match. And you know 932 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,880 Speaker 3: you said it. Brighton has been awesome defensively, most expected 933 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 3: goals most you know, like every offensive stat that you 934 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 3: look at, they've been awesome to begin the season, but 935 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,439 Speaker 3: defensively they've been really shape six point six expected goals 936 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,759 Speaker 3: allowed to west Ham Wolves and Lootontown, Like that's really 937 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 3: concerning stuff. And I think kind of what it boils 938 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 3: down to is not only you're playing very aggressive and 939 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 3: they need more ball in the middle of the pitch, 940 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 3: which is true, but they don't have Levi Cole anymore, 941 00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,080 Speaker 3: and they don't really have a capable defending center back 942 00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 3: to go along with Lewis dunt ter me he got 943 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 3: cooked a couple times and that match against west Ham 944 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 3: and really cost them a couple of goals. So then 945 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 3: you have Brighton looking that shaky defensively going against the 946 00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 3: Newcastle team where you watch what they've done to a 947 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 3: team like aston Villa that wants to build out of 948 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:16,160 Speaker 3: the back, like that is really really concerning. But on 949 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 3: the flip side, for Newcastle, Saven Boltman's gonna miss this 950 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 3: match And what do we say all last season is 951 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 3: that one of the reasons why Newcastle was so good 952 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 3: defensively is because nobody got hurt nobody but the same 953 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 3: back for for basically the entire season. Well, now Bowman's hurt, 954 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,320 Speaker 3: which means my guess is they're gonna slot Dan Byrne 955 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 3: back in center back and Target's gonna come out and 956 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,280 Speaker 3: play left back. Well, that's a big downgrade for Newcastle defensively. 957 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 3: I mean, Boben played thirty four point seven nineties at 958 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 3: center back last season. That was the most of any 959 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 3: Newcastle player played more than anybody else. So that's a 960 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 3: big loss. Like, now you're gonna have to play without him. 961 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,960 Speaker 3: So I think we're gonna see absolute chaos in this 962 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,759 Speaker 3: match once that first goal goes in. Brighton scores and 963 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 3: Newcastle lo haves to get more aggressive with they're pressing, 964 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,600 Speaker 3: and Deserve can even bait them in even more. Brighton's 965 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,400 Speaker 3: gonna create a ton of chances on the flips if 966 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,839 Speaker 3: Newcastle scores first and they can just kind of sit 967 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,040 Speaker 3: back and press and Brighton has to be incredibly aggressive, Like, 968 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 3: it's just gonna be so much chaos. So over three 969 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 3: and a half at plus one thirty four is the 970 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 3: best price that you have rightt there, I would chase 971 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 3: in over three and a half. I wouldn't play a 972 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 3: juice over three because I think we have the potential 973 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,520 Speaker 3: for maybe five or six goals in this match. 974 00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a little bit of like on the 975 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 2: beachiness to that game, if I remember right, Like Brighton 976 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 2: was out of the race at that point and they 977 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 2: went on the road. It was like the April Ish 978 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 2: and they kind of did get cooked. It was three 979 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 2: point six to point five on XTG. But a lot 980 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:36,239 Speaker 2: of that, like you said, was Brighton getting turned over 981 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,879 Speaker 2: high and that is a possibility. But I do think 982 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,280 Speaker 2: it does change a little bit on Brighton's home soil. 983 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I just look, I see how this 984 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 2: goes wrong. Not my favorite bet of the year, but 985 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 2: I love the number. So I like Brighton. 986 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, with you, I just like Brighton in the chaos 987 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: more than I would like newcast On it. It does 988 00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: feel like a chaotic match. Palace in Wolves now Palace 989 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: payouts Yeah, minus one ten at home Wolves traveling as 990 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: a plus three thirty three underdog and the draw is 991 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,239 Speaker 1: plus two thirty BJ's passing. I mean, I just I'm 992 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: just tipping my cap to Roy Hodgson and Anthony. You 993 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:17,400 Speaker 1: have a bet. 994 00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do like Crystal Palace at home here minus 995 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 2: one ten. I have bumped Palace. You know, the thing 996 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 2: we said about them in the preseason like this could 997 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 2: go wrong if they're not keeping Michael Elise, and I 998 00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:30,919 Speaker 2: think that that's going to be a big part of 999 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,359 Speaker 2: what kind of works for this Palace team still being 1000 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 2: solid defensively and the attack not quite falling off of 1001 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 2: a cliff. And you know, I'm buying into what the 1002 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,040 Speaker 2: market is. There are smarter people out there than me 1003 00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 2: that really like this Palace team and continue to bet 1004 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 2: them as we get closer and closer to game time. 1005 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 2: And I actually find that to be a decent leading 1006 00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 2: indicator on you know, how a team may perform. And 1007 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 2: you know, the market's not always right, but through you know, 1008 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 2: three matches against you know, solid opposition, they were very 1009 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 2: competitive against Arsenal in a match that was even on 1010 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,400 Speaker 2: non penalty. Actually they were outplayed in it, but not overwhelmed. 1011 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 2: They had an average showing at Brentford where they got 1012 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 2: a point. The market moved toward them again, and I 1013 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 2: think the market's a little bit short here. You know, 1014 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 2: I understand why there's some hesitation because Palace is not 1015 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,799 Speaker 2: a swashbuckling attack that's going to run away from these 1016 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 2: teams and thus that makes them a dangerous favorite. But look, 1017 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 2: you know, Wolves have played three games and I know 1018 00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 2: everybody went gung ho about how well they played against 1019 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 2: Man United, but they're just not going to get that 1020 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 2: money transitional opportunities against this Palace team. Palace much more 1021 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,960 Speaker 2: solid defensively and I think actually better offensively as well, 1022 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 2: so better all around and at home. I'm willing to 1023 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 2: lay the minus one ten. I think this should be 1024 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 2: closer to minus one thirty and I will like the 1025 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,280 Speaker 2: Eagles at home. 1026 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 1: All right. We'll close out the Premier League with a 1027 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: U nai Emory versus Jurgen Klopp showdown at Anfield. Liverpool's 1028 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 1: minus won fifty Villa plus three thirty three and the 1029 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: job plus three fifty find Filla out there like plus 1030 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,000 Speaker 1: three sixty. I think it's a good night on the villains. 1031 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,080 Speaker 1: I know that Liverpool's got seven points from nine. What 1032 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,800 Speaker 1: have they put together? Though in any of the three matches. 1033 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: They put together great twenty first minutes against Chelsea, then 1034 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: you could argue that Chelsea was the better team for 1035 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,799 Speaker 1: the next sixty or seventy of that match. They got 1036 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: completely pants by Bourne. Myth in the first ten or 1037 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,600 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes and yes they ended up taking control of 1038 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,400 Speaker 1: that game, but that was Bournemuth at home. And then 1039 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: you know, they were not very good against Newcastle in 1040 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,600 Speaker 1: the first thirty minutes. I know, Virgil gets the red 1041 00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: card and they end up winning that match with the 1042 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: credit to them digging in getting some great goaltending and 1043 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 1: we're goalkeeping and Darwin Juniaz stealing the show that they 1044 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 1: just haven't been as impressive as a team that has 1045 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 1: taken seven from nine against that schedule should and it's 1046 00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 1: all because of the defense. It's not just like and 1047 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 1: it's not just the defense, the defensive flaws that are 1048 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 1: showing up right, like that kind of poor defense that 1049 00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: puts so much more pressure on everybody else around the 1050 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,719 Speaker 1: pitch and everybody else is getting stretched. So this is 1051 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 1: a team that looks still to me very flawed and 1052 00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: a team I want to bet against when they're a favorite, 1053 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: and a team that I want to bet against with 1054 00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 1: their favorite against a solid team like Aston Villa, I 1055 00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: don't care if it's at anfield or on the moon 1056 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: like this is. This is a good number on a 1057 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 1: Villa team that's creating plenty of scoring chances too. So 1058 00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,600 Speaker 1: this does not look like a walk in the park 1059 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,439 Speaker 1: at all. And I know you two like the over 1060 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: that kind of makes me think board that I like 1061 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: Villa more like one nil is not going to win 1062 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,040 Speaker 1: this game. Two one that can. This is gonna be 1063 00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 1: like three to two. And who the hell knows Brighten 1064 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: and Newcastle we're talking about chas this one too, I 1065 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,320 Speaker 1: think because Liverpool looks out of sorts trying to defend. 1066 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,240 Speaker 1: So taking the villains here. 1067 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:59,440 Speaker 2: The injuries there are also in suspensions now, I mean 1068 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,880 Speaker 2: no Vanda and no kant here, yeah Joe Gomes. I 1069 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 2: mean they don't have a defensive midfield. This is gonna 1070 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 2: be some Kamakazi shit. And we've seen Klopp do this 1071 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 2: before and he knows that they're not going to win 1072 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,120 Speaker 2: this match by defending effectively, so he's just going to 1073 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 2: dial up the meter and say, hey, look, I have 1074 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,919 Speaker 2: much better attacking players than Unayamri does. And he does. 1075 00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 2: And I'm hoping Darwin can get a start here because 1076 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 2: it was super encouraged, but he needs to get in 1077 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,280 Speaker 2: the team more, especially in this matchup. Oh my goodness, 1078 00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,400 Speaker 2: I remember he got caught off side like three times 1079 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 2: in the first half. But Darwin in this matchup against 1080 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 2: that Villa high line could just wreck Villa defensively, and 1081 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,719 Speaker 2: I think that's the key here. I think it's that 1082 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:48,760 Speaker 2: Liverpool is going to be able to get in behind 1083 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 2: a ton because of all the passing quality that still 1084 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 2: exists within this midfield Sola, Bush, Sly and Trent, especially 1085 00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,839 Speaker 2: if you're calling Trent of midfielder. Now like those two 1086 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 2: guys should be able to fine Nunez, Diaz and Sala 1087 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,320 Speaker 2: in behind over and over again. Remember it was Emory's 1088 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,040 Speaker 2: one of his first matches when they came in and 1089 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 2: he decided he was going to install this system and 1090 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 2: they got cooked. And then the second matchup they did 1091 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,080 Speaker 2: much better coping with it. But again it was a 1092 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 2: lot of like just offside scored, but we're offside by 1093 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 2: a Toenail Gakpo had a goal call back. Liverpool ended 1094 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: up drawing one one for me know, scored late, but 1095 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 2: again it was like this Villa system is teetering defensively. 1096 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 2: So yeah, I do like the over here. I think 1097 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 2: this is gonna be a fun one. You know, the 1098 00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 2: number isn't the best. I do think you know, the 1099 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 2: numbers kind of right, but it's hard to project this 1100 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,120 Speaker 2: game because we don't know what Klopp will do tactically, 1101 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,960 Speaker 2: and I think he may just dial this up and 1102 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:48,240 Speaker 2: say screw it, we're going for it peak Liverpool vibes, 1103 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,920 Speaker 2: and it's part of what has made the league really 1104 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 2: fun in the prem right now. It's just like all 1105 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,279 Speaker 2: of these teams have flaws and they're just leaning into them, 1106 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,359 Speaker 2: like Brighton, Liverpool, Newcastle like just living in transition, never 1107 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 2: having never wanting the ball, Taughten, theam you know, with 1108 00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 2: their new approach, like it's it's it's it's really fun. 1109 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,600 Speaker 1: It's it's not fun fun until Newcastle blows a league. 1110 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's four biggest plays, three of which were overs 1111 00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,439 Speaker 2: that move like seventy cents, all stayed under because nobody 1112 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 2: can finish. But yeah, other than that, it's been fun. 1113 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 3: What do you got, Beja, I mean, yeah, I think 1114 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 3: it goes along with Anthony is saying, I don't think 1115 00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 3: that Klop has another option but to dial it up, 1116 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 3: because honestly, what you should do is you should take 1117 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,600 Speaker 3: the blueprint of what Newcastle did to Aston Villa and 1118 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 3: just go boss the wall, press them high and try 1119 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,120 Speaker 3: to beat them in transition. The last thing you want 1120 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 3: to do against Uni Amory team is to build up pragmatically, 1121 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,359 Speaker 3: let him sink back in a four to four to two, 1122 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 3: condense those space in between the lines and just sitting 1123 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,879 Speaker 3: a low block. That's not how That's not how teams 1124 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,080 Speaker 3: have beaten ver Real. It's not how you beat aston Villa. 1125 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 3: You beat them by turning them over high and getting 1126 00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 3: at them in transition. And something interesting I thought with 1127 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,840 Speaker 3: aston Villa, I thought, Okay, Tyrone Mings is going to 1128 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,880 Speaker 3: be out for an extended period of time. They'll probably 1129 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 3: go back to four four two or some thing of 1130 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 3: that nature. But Unaamori is sticking with the back three, 1131 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 3: and he's slotting in Diego Carlos, who missed the entire 1132 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:10,360 Speaker 3: season with an achilles injury last year, and now he's 1133 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,680 Speaker 3: in and going to be playing the Tyrone Mings role 1134 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:16,960 Speaker 3: against this Liverpool offense. I think that's an incredibly dangerous 1135 00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,160 Speaker 3: game to play, especially now you have three center backs 1136 00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,280 Speaker 3: in pawtor As, Diego Carlos and Alconsa who haven't played 1137 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,840 Speaker 3: a lot together. So if you're going to play that 1138 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,240 Speaker 3: high line, like Anthony said, you're going to get absolutely 1139 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 3: ripped apart. And then for Liverpool. I yeah, I don't 1140 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 3: know what they do defensively without Van Dykin, without Konnate. 1141 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,680 Speaker 3: They can't really invert Trent Alexander Arnold to the middle 1142 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 3: of the pitch because they don't have a defensive midfielder 1143 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 3: or a ball stopper, so he's continually having to stay 1144 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 3: wide and defend one B one situations, which is not great. 1145 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,799 Speaker 3: So this has the potential of really just back and 1146 00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 3: forth type match type match. Aspen Villa though second most 1147 00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 3: expected goals of anybody in the Premier leagues so far 1148 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,240 Speaker 3: through three matches. So I uh, I agree with Anthony. 1149 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,200 Speaker 3: I love over three and a half at plus one fifteen, 1150 00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,360 Speaker 3: I projected three point five to five, so anything plus 1151 00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 3: one ten or betters is good for me. 1152 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: Here, all right, Bundesliga time, Anthony. It's it's your favorite 1153 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 1: week or one of your two favorite weeks, sometimes three 1154 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: favorite weeks. 1155 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:23,240 Speaker 2: One time we had four. 1156 00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was crazy of the season. So I'll be 1157 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 1: riding with you. Maybe we'll get b J on board 1158 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: two with clod Boch against Harry Kane can't be stopped. 1159 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 2: This is like, uh, like somehow my Super Bowl became 1160 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:45,000 Speaker 2: even crazier because the uh, you through my second favorite 1161 00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 2: soccer player of all time into the into the next 1162 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,720 Speaker 2: number one, Gareth Oh. 1163 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: I see that way. When we were previewing the Euros 1164 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: with the roll, you know, the Gareth Bell was one 1165 00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:57,640 Speaker 1: nothing nice. 1166 00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 2: To say about the man that I had nothing nice 1167 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 2: say about the team the man I will never say 1168 00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 2: a bad word. And there's a lot of foot of 1169 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 2: the Union fans that are very unhappy with me for 1170 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 2: my support of Gareth Bale. But and if you're listening, 1171 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 2: I'm sorry that he scored on you. But let's discuss 1172 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,160 Speaker 2: this matchup because it makes no sense. That's the beauty 1173 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 2: of it. It makes no sense. There were times when 1174 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 2: Glodblach was like a legitimately good team, and there were 1175 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 2: years under Marco Rosa where like they legitimately outplayed Byron 1176 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,920 Speaker 2: at times like the fame Joe Scalley game to kick 1177 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:32,280 Speaker 2: off the twenty twenty one season, or you know the 1178 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:36,480 Speaker 2: beginning of the following year in January when they were 1179 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 2: down to nil to Byron inside the first half and 1180 00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,560 Speaker 2: then Jonas Hoffman turned into the greatest player of all 1181 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 2: time for thirty minutes and they came back to win 1182 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 2: three two. Like there have been so many weird and 1183 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 2: legitimately deserved wins for Gladbach wor draws against Byron. Then 1184 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 2: there have been the other results where you're just like, 1185 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 2: how exactly is this game competitive? And we go back 1186 00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 2: to last season when Glodbak was twelve to one against Byron. 1187 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 2: They got out shot ten to one in the first half, 1188 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 2: but Marcus ram got a breakaway on a Nuba mcconam mistake. 1189 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,439 Speaker 2: We went aut one nil at half. Jon Sommer broke 1190 00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,160 Speaker 2: the Bundesliga record for saves in a match and Byron 1191 00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:15,040 Speaker 2: scored in the eighty seventh minute to tie it. It 1192 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 2: was one to one, but again we were catching two 1193 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:18,840 Speaker 2: and a half goals, so the game was never in doubt. 1194 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 2: From a spread perspective, we almost got the money line 1195 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,320 Speaker 2: home and then sure enough the last meeting by glad 1196 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,480 Speaker 2: back at home six to one, red card to Byron 1197 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 2: ten minutes and we get to play up a man 1198 00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,240 Speaker 2: for the entire match win three to two. So we 1199 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 2: go back and forth, but essentially the history is since 1200 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 2: the COVID has ended, since the COVID pauses ended, the 1201 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 2: results are as follows. Gold Bock won three to two, 1202 00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 2: Byron won six nil. We don't talk about that match. 1203 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,560 Speaker 2: Byron lost five nil in a cup match to Gladbach. 1204 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000 Speaker 2: Byron then lost two to one in a thriller in 1205 00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 2: the following season, and then the last year it was 1206 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,840 Speaker 2: one to one and three to two to Glodbox. So 1207 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 2: this rivalry, outside of that one match, Glodbok has gotten 1208 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,880 Speaker 2: a point or three in every single one of them. 1209 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 2: And look, I have severely downgraded Glodboch. If you listen 1210 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,520 Speaker 2: to the show that we did with bj before the season, 1211 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 2: you know I'm holding a relegation ticket, which through two 1212 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 2: matches we are really bad and expect a gold differential. 1213 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 2: We are in the bottom three. But something about this 1214 01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 2: rivalry in this matchup and now you know Byron through 1215 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 2: three matches overall, still has the exact same flaws we've 1216 01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,080 Speaker 2: seen from years past. I think it's why they're in 1217 01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,440 Speaker 2: for a defensive Midfilder and Paulina because they need more 1218 01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,600 Speaker 2: ball winning and it makes them vulnerable in transition and 1219 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 2: this Glodboc team hasn't gotten the chance to do a 1220 01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 2: ton of it yet in terms of playing in transition. 1221 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 2: But I actually think that they if they're good at 1222 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 2: anything from a squad profile perspective this year, it's going 1223 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,919 Speaker 2: to be that. So despite all the issues, I will 1224 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 2: be betting them plus one and a half at home 1225 01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,840 Speaker 2: in this matchup, and I will be sprinkling the money 1226 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,160 Speaker 2: line because we are you know, we've had too much 1227 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 2: fun with it to not do it, and I've already 1228 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:07,040 Speaker 2: gotten multiple texts this week, So as a podcast, we 1229 01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 2: will be betting the Foals at home. 1230 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Ye six to one on the money line. I'll be 1231 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 1: in on it. BJ Any thoughts here in the Bundesliga. 1232 01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Wolfsburg pick on the road at Hoffenheim. 1233 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 3: Hoffenheim has been an absolute mess defensively to begin the 1234 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,000 Speaker 3: season five point one expect goals allowed, that's the most 1235 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:26,920 Speaker 3: of anybody in the BUNUS League, and they played Freiberg 1236 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 3: and hide Theheim not exactly Murderer's row. Essentially, what's happened 1237 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 3: is Pellegrino Mantzzarro came in in February of last season 1238 01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:38,160 Speaker 3: and switched them to be a more aggressive pressing team 1239 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 3: and it really hasn't worked. They've since he's taken over. 1240 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 3: They're allowing one point five x g P ninety. Offensively, 1241 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 3: they haven't really created much post World Cup break, they 1242 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 3: only created eighteen point one expected goals in fifteen matches. Now, 1243 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,160 Speaker 3: going into this season, they lost their best attacking option 1244 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 3: and Christoph Baumgardner who left for Arby Leipzig. Their best 1245 01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,600 Speaker 3: wingback who's a key two Hoffenheim's three five two system 1246 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,600 Speaker 3: in Angelino, who's now I believe playing for Galatas Arrive. 1247 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,439 Speaker 3: So and then you look at Wolfsburg. The obviously lost 1248 01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,960 Speaker 3: Bend even their best center back to Tottenham Metcha, their 1249 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 3: best midfielder is off to Dortmund. But they've been very 1250 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,520 Speaker 3: impressive for the first two matches. They beat Heidenheim pretty convincingly. 1251 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 3: They went and beat Cologne on the road this past weekend. 1252 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 3: They've been rock solid defensively, only one point zero six 1253 01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 3: XG allowed from open play. That's the lowest of anybody 1254 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 3: in the Bundesliga to start the season. And Kob actually 1255 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 3: turned this team around post World Cup break. They and 1256 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 3: they turned into an offensive force one point six to 1257 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,480 Speaker 3: seven XTG for ninety after the World Cup, so if 1258 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,280 Speaker 3: you look at it, they were a plus point two 1259 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 3: actually differential post World Cup. Hoffenheim is minus point four 1260 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 3: to four. So even if you take home field advantage 1261 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 3: in Wolfburgs Chill still should be a favorite here. So 1262 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 3: I like them drawing up bet at even. 1263 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: Money, Okay, La Liga time at let it go. Madrid 1264 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:57,280 Speaker 1: gotta set the world record for most goals ever scored 1265 01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:57,480 Speaker 1: in it. 1266 01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 3: I can't wait for EU. I can't gonna be great. 1267 01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:02,200 Speaker 1: What do you got, PJ? 1268 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I love that buddy co minus one and 1269 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 3: a half. They're playing Sevilla, well one and a half 1270 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,600 Speaker 3: plus one thirty five anything. He's giving me a face 1271 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 3: right now. I mean, seven goals against Viacona. I mean, 1272 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,160 Speaker 3: it's just a SEMONI saw a tweet and it was 1273 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 3: very funny. It was like only semeone can figure out 1274 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,160 Speaker 3: how to score seven goals out of a five to 1275 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,120 Speaker 3: three two And they just overloaded the right side of 1276 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,880 Speaker 3: the pitch and they just completely destroyed Viacono all time 1277 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 3: and time again. And now they're gonna play Savilla, who's 1278 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 3: down two center backs down Marcus Aucunya, not really much 1279 01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 3: defensive work there. And you know, I've just Michael, I've 1280 01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 3: missed out on three Sevilla faates to begin the season, 1281 01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,800 Speaker 3: and that's on me, And so of course I'm gonna 1282 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 3: jump in here for the fourth time and it's probably 1283 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:45,360 Speaker 3: gonna go terribly. But Sevilla is just continually so so 1284 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 3: bad defensively and they not solve any issues whatsoever. So 1285 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 3: I think Athletico absolutely pounds them. Projected Athleticico spread at 1286 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:57,840 Speaker 3: minus around minus one point five. So if you're give 1287 01:03:57,880 --> 01:03:59,959 Speaker 3: me minus one and a half at plus one thirty five, 1288 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,040 Speaker 3: I love that price. 1289 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 1: What do you got, Anthony? 1290 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:05,880 Speaker 2: Look, I love the real Madrid midfield and I think 1291 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 2: it does give a nice boost to their defensive outlook. 1292 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 2: And they lose Militao, which will hurt their defensive look. 1293 01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:14,800 Speaker 2: But this midfield is so good that teams just don't 1294 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 2: get the ball into their penalty area as much anymore. 1295 01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 2: And that's one thing through three matches that's already evident 1296 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 2: in improving their numbers. But this attack is now in 1297 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,920 Speaker 2: kind of light. You know, Venetius goes down with an injury. 1298 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:27,800 Speaker 2: They're calling up this nineteen year old kid from the 1299 01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,480 Speaker 2: youth team Castilla to feature, maybe come off the bench here, 1300 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:34,360 Speaker 2: because it doesn't look like Venetia's gonna play. Maybe had 1301 01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,400 Speaker 2: a little while here, and that means it's gonna be 1302 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,479 Speaker 2: just a lou and Rodrigo as the main attacking strike 1303 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,120 Speaker 2: duo and against the Gaitafe team that's more than comfortable 1304 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,280 Speaker 2: playing without the ball and will not even try to 1305 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,959 Speaker 2: score for large parts to this match. You have seen 1306 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 2: the market move here. You know it is plus one fifteen. 1307 01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 2: Now it's come down about even money. If you can 1308 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,000 Speaker 2: get even money, I'd like under two and a half 1309 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,240 Speaker 2: in that match. If you have to start laying juice, 1310 01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 2: it is getting a little too low. So two and 1311 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,200 Speaker 2: a half under for me, even money or better. 1312 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: Uh, time to move to Syria. Antony and I passing BJ. 1313 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 3: I like Leche at home. You guys want to get 1314 01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:10,640 Speaker 3: to who they're playing. No, they're they're even money favorite 1315 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 3: at home. They're playing one of my favorite teams. Salnyitana, 1316 01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,960 Speaker 3: who is running my gods again, WHI chose the greatest 1317 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 3: goalkeeper in the world, Whodia is the best striker in 1318 01:05:22,200 --> 01:05:26,680 Speaker 3: the world. They they drew Roma to two and I'm 1319 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,040 Speaker 3: not gonna say it, but you can just go look 1320 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 3: at the box score for how pregious it was. I 1321 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 3: told Anthony, I don't know if I can do this 1322 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:37,360 Speaker 3: anymore with this team, like they're just impervious to running 1323 01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:39,080 Speaker 3: bad and I don't really know what to do but 1324 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 3: this price here Alleche team that actually is very good, 1325 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 3: a very good pressing team. They were top five defensive 1326 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:48,080 Speaker 3: action last season. They're not a great team. But sal 1327 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 3: Anitana was a favorite of minus eighteen expect goal differentially 1328 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,840 Speaker 3: away from home last season. That's close to a goal 1329 01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 3: for ninety in terms of actually differential Aleche was actually 1330 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 3: a positive spect to goal differential team at home. I 1331 01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,360 Speaker 3: don't know how much longer I can do. This was 1332 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 3: salar any Tana before I have to quit, just I 1333 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 3: have to ignore them. But I'm sure Ocho will make 1334 01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,600 Speaker 3: twelve saves in this match, and I'm sure Bluladio will 1335 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 3: score from outside the box in one of their only 1336 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,800 Speaker 3: two shots. But I'll lose it. But it's okay, I like, 1337 01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:20,440 Speaker 3: I like, let's say even money. 1338 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,600 Speaker 1: It's a rousing argument. I would about league. 1339 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like red plus one ten on the road 1340 01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 3: against Stad de Brestoa, who been a little bit of 1341 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 3: a luck box to begin the season. They were if 1342 01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 3: you listen to or euro preview pod, they were one 1343 01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,960 Speaker 3: of the teams I like to be relegated from this 1344 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 3: where you know. Frantic Cornatt has now moved to Gladbach 1345 01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:40,680 Speaker 3: to help us get that six to one ticket across 1346 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,160 Speaker 3: the line. He was their best attacking player point four 1347 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,760 Speaker 3: to eight actually plus expected SIS for ninety. They haven't 1348 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,520 Speaker 3: really done anything to place him. They did be Lens 1349 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,400 Speaker 3: to begin the season, scored three goals, two of them 1350 01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:54,160 Speaker 3: were off penalties. Then they played a very even match 1351 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 3: with Lejabre where they ended up winning two one, and 1352 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 3: then they just get absolutely pounded by Marseille this past week. 1353 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,000 Speaker 3: And this red team have They've lost a couple of players, 1354 01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 3: but I mean they've been awesome to begin the season. 1355 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 3: You know, they created four expected goals in their first match, 1356 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 3: they got caught on the wrong side of variance against 1357 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 3: Lehobra and their last one. And I went through my 1358 01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 3: projections because I'm projecting ran and around minus one fifty, 1359 01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,760 Speaker 3: which I'm like, that seems pretty high. But they've been 1360 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:19,680 Speaker 3: really good in terms of XSHT to begin the season. 1361 01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:21,919 Speaker 3: So I just took out everything that's happened in the season, 1362 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 3: be like, what would I have them last season going 1363 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,160 Speaker 3: into it? I would have them minus one twenty seven. 1364 01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,880 Speaker 3: So I still think there's decent value here on Ren 1365 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,240 Speaker 3: at plus one ten on the road against what I 1366 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:35,600 Speaker 3: believe is a bottom five team in France. 1367 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Okay, that wraps up the European journey. It's not time 1368 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 1: for our three leg underdog parlay. This one's gonna pop 1369 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: out around two thirteen to one, Anthony, and you this 1370 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 1: might be the first time that I have the shortest 1371 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:53,439 Speaker 1: leg of them all. 1372 01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:59,400 Speaker 2: So amazing. Yeah, it's it's Brushian watching Gladbach. They've been 1373 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 2: a frequent of this parlay despite their general regression as 1374 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,200 Speaker 2: a club. They are six to one against Bayern Munich 1375 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 2: and my super Bowl. I'm extremely looking forward to this 1376 01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 2: match as the top spiel of twelve thirty Eastern on Saturday. 1377 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 2: Probably won't win, but you know what, the other bets 1378 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,400 Speaker 2: on Gladbach in the past probably wouldn't have won either, 1379 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,000 Speaker 2: and then they did, so you really never know when 1380 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 2: these two teams meet. A former friend of the pot, 1381 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 2: Eric Wandalda, you know, he's talked about this and we 1382 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 2: both called it in the spring when they did win. 1383 01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 2: So the Foles, come on, Foles, go get those goals. 1384 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,600 Speaker 2: We're probably gonna get relegated, but we're still going to 1385 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:36,840 Speaker 2: take six off Buyer this year. 1386 01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Come on, Foals, go get those goals. Come on, Bourne with. 1387 01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:42,000 Speaker 3: It. 1388 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:43,960 Speaker 1: Feels a little weird to go against Brentford in the 1389 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: spot because they've probably been the team that treated us. 1390 01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 1: They are the team that treated us the best. They 1391 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,599 Speaker 1: were nineteen to one when they beat City and we 1392 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: cashed our two hundred to one to one parlay before 1393 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: the World Cup last year. I'm going against them here 1394 01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: with Bourne with plus three seventy five. I just think 1395 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,519 Speaker 1: that the numbers is getting a little bit out of 1396 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: hand on Brentford. Good team, great, really solid Premier League team. 1397 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,639 Speaker 1: But I think that this born With team should start 1398 01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:10,639 Speaker 1: trending up eventually. I kind of want to be there 1399 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,600 Speaker 1: for when it happens, and what better time to do 1400 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 1: it than right before the international break, So give me 1401 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,799 Speaker 1: the cherries. I think that this number plus three seventy 1402 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,560 Speaker 1: five is is well worth backing bj. 1403 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've been kind of waiting to talk about 1404 01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,720 Speaker 3: this team in Spain. Last Palmas five to one on 1405 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 3: the road against Girona. Girona has actually lost quite a 1406 01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 3: bit of players. They just came out today that Santiago Bueno, 1407 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 3: who is their best center back, is on making his 1408 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 3: way to Wolves in a deal. They've lost Romeo to Barcelona, 1409 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 3: Tasacasianos to Lazio. Those three guys played the most minutes 1410 01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 3: of anybody for them last season, and this lost Palmas team. 1411 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,800 Speaker 3: Although they don't have the talent necessarily to compete with 1412 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 3: the top of La Liga, they can very much compete 1413 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,840 Speaker 3: with the mid table teams like Sharona last season in 1414 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 3: the second division plus zero point seventy four actually differential 1415 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,320 Speaker 3: per ninety, the barrier to entry in Spain in terms 1416 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,120 Speaker 3: of promoted teams really isn't that drastic Comparatively to the 1417 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,120 Speaker 3: Premier League teams coming up from the second Division to 1418 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,559 Speaker 3: Spain in their first season, see about a forty five 1419 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,839 Speaker 3: percent decrease and there's expected gold differential. So before accounting 1420 01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 3: for obviously, you know, lost Palmas per transfer market dot 1421 01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,480 Speaker 3: com as the lowest talent level of anybody in La Liga. 1422 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:23,240 Speaker 3: But taking just pure math, before accounting for talent, I 1423 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,880 Speaker 3: have them projected around and even expected goal differential team. 1424 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,800 Speaker 3: Now they probably want to end up being that, but 1425 01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:31,040 Speaker 3: they put in a really, really impressive performance against Rial 1426 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,679 Speaker 3: Associated in their past match. I tweeted out one point 1427 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,600 Speaker 3: four x get to nothing in the first half, and 1428 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,600 Speaker 3: then of course you know real soci that took the 1429 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:40,439 Speaker 3: Reins back and ended up being pretty even matched. But 1430 01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:42,560 Speaker 3: I think this price is way too high on the 1431 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 3: coirona team that's that's lost three of their best players. 1432 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 3: So lost Palmas five to one. 1433 01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:51,200 Speaker 1: For me, Los Palmas bornmth Gladbach two hundred and thirteen 1434 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:55,759 Speaker 1: to one. Perfect way to go into the end of summer. 1435 01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:02,600 Speaker 1: Ended with a bang or ended with loose pretty easily, Anthony, 1436 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,040 Speaker 1: your best bet in the Premier League this weekend. 1437 01:11:04,840 --> 01:11:07,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be Crystal Palace minus one ten. My 1438 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:09,719 Speaker 2: biggest projected edge is Brighton, but I am a little 1439 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:11,880 Speaker 2: worried about the tactical matchup there, so I'm gonna not 1440 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:13,200 Speaker 2: make that my best bet. I'm gonna go with the 1441 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 2: Eagles at home, who now have a boost. In that 1442 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:18,360 Speaker 2: boost is that they're keeping Olise and that they're going 1443 01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,639 Speaker 2: to be enough of an attack to warrant this price, 1444 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,519 Speaker 2: and I actually think they're a little undervalued. They're better 1445 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:25,799 Speaker 2: at both ends of the pitch than this Wolf side. 1446 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:28,920 Speaker 2: I think Wolves, you know, they've had some encouraging performances 1447 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,599 Speaker 2: that have made us say, hey, look this team can 1448 01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 2: really play in transition against United and Brighton. But I 1449 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 2: thought the performance against Everton was more similar to what 1450 01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:40,400 Speaker 2: I expect from them, which is really lackluster play in 1451 01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 2: build up, turn the ball over high a lot, and 1452 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 2: I think they're going to struggle with the Palace Press 1453 01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,880 Speaker 2: and they're going to struggle with the Eagles generally here. 1454 01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,000 Speaker 2: And so you know, the market has liked this Palace 1455 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 2: team and I am believing in that and buying them 1456 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 2: at minus one ten here. 1457 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Aston Villa there plus three sixty. I 1458 01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 1: like the money line against Liverpool. I think that this 1459 01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,280 Speaker 1: match sets up really well for Villa. We've seen some 1460 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:09,760 Speaker 1: serious warts on this Liverpool defense already this season. They 1461 01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,400 Speaker 1: haven't been able to really stop Bourne myth. They've made 1462 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 1: mistakes against Chelsea, they struggled against Newcastle. Somehow they've come 1463 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 1: out of those matches with seven points out of a 1464 01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,040 Speaker 1: possible nine. Now they have to deal with Virgil and 1465 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,760 Speaker 1: Gunte not being in the back line against the Villa 1466 01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,880 Speaker 1: team that is firing offensively, creating chances for fun. I 1467 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,240 Speaker 1: think that this match could get drunk pretty quick. It 1468 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 1: could be you know, four to two, four to three, 1469 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,800 Speaker 1: and I just don't trust the Liverpool defense to get 1470 01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:38,719 Speaker 1: that one extra stop that they might need against aston Villa, 1471 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: So give me the villains in what looks like a 1472 01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:45,639 Speaker 1: great spot for Unai Emery's men against the depleted Liverpool 1473 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,479 Speaker 1: back line BJ What about you. 1474 01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,320 Speaker 3: Brighton Newcastle over three and a half goals a plus 1475 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:54,360 Speaker 3: one thirty four. This is an incredibly interesting tactical matchup 1476 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,320 Speaker 3: for Brighton. Who a team that primarily wants to build 1477 01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,360 Speaker 3: another back who wants to bait you into pressing. And 1478 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 3: there are very few teams in the world that can 1479 01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 3: really beat Brighton up when they try to build out 1480 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,680 Speaker 3: the back, and Newcastle is one of those teams. They 1481 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 3: did it to them last season at Saint James Park 1482 01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:09,000 Speaker 3: where they created a ton of high turnovers and ended 1483 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,160 Speaker 3: up winning the match for one created three point six 1484 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,960 Speaker 3: expected goals, and Brighton's looked really, really shaky defensively through 1485 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 3: three matches. They've conceded six point six expected goals to Wolves, 1486 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:22,640 Speaker 3: west Ham and Lwtontown. It's not exactly Murderer's row, and 1487 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,280 Speaker 3: Newcastle showed against specially aston Villa, that they can create 1488 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,400 Speaker 3: those high turnovers and they can cause a ton of 1489 01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 3: chaos in transition. But the flip side of it is 1490 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 3: Brighton has created the most expected goals of anybody in there. 1491 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 3: Like they're an incredible offense and they can get through 1492 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,080 Speaker 3: this Newcastle high press and Newcastle on the Once Brighton 1493 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,679 Speaker 3: gets beyond that first line of the press, Newcastle's getting 1494 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,120 Speaker 3: weaker and weaker in their defense. Well made them so 1495 01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 3: great defensively last season, it's because nobody got hurt. They 1496 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,160 Speaker 3: played the same back four for pretty much the entire season. Well, 1497 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,200 Speaker 3: now their best center backs VN Botman is hurt, which 1498 01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,000 Speaker 3: means they're gonna have to slot Dan Burn back at 1499 01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,200 Speaker 3: center back and then Matthew Target's gonna come out and 1500 01:13:57,360 --> 01:13:59,519 Speaker 3: play left back. So the Newcastle defense has to be 1501 01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,800 Speaker 3: downgrade against what is just an incredible Brighton attack. So 1502 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,160 Speaker 3: once the first goal goes in here, I think we're 1503 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 3: going to just see chaos from n Nan. So I 1504 01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,120 Speaker 3: love over three and a half goals at plus one 1505 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:09,599 Speaker 3: thirty four. 1506 01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: All right, that does it for this episode of Wonder Goal. 1507 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,880 Speaker 1: Thank you again, BJ, Thank you again, Anthony.
