You didn't miss much, Sam. We were all 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: over Everton again and you can imagine how that went. 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: We were very right about the under in arsenal in 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 3: city and we also nailed Brentford giving Tottenham all sorts 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 3: of trouble. 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: So a really value for us in while you were away. 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 3: And we'll try to keep the momentum rolling here for 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 3: another match week in the Premier League. Ten matches to 30 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 3: sort through. We'll start with City in Newcastle, this one 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: in Newcastle at same James Park, seven thirty am kickoff 32 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: here in the States, Newcastle sitting plus four hundred and 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: beyond in some spots, as City travels as a minus 34 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: one sixty five favorite, the draws plus three fifty. The 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: big homework to do here is the Rodery situation with 36 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: City obviously makes a huge difference. Is the record with 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 3: him is something that a lot of soccer pins like. 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: The point too, that's that it's pretty crazy. I think 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 3: Newcastle's worth a bet here, Sam. I think there's a 40 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: pretty tough matchup for City. It's been the fixtures are 41 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 3: starting to pile up. They went to played in Europe, 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: that Neil nil against Inter, then the crazy game against Arsenal. 43 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: Now they have another tough one a week later against Newcastle, 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 3: and of course the injury situation. Newcastle didn't really look 45 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 3: all that great against Fulham, but I still think this team, 46 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 3: especially at home, is is dangerous, especially at this number. 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't disagree. What I would say is that 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 4: the result against Fulham on the weekend. I think it 49 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: had been coming for Newcastle. I said a couple of 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: weeks ago that they've been riding their luck a little bit. 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: I don't think they've been that good all season. Issach 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: was not fully fit at the Cottage. Wilson obviously too, 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 4: so that doesn't help. And I think Fulham deserved to 54 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 4: win in the end. More shots, better chances accumulated, more 55 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: expected goes, more clinical, brighter in possession when it mattered, 56 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 4: And I think they're a team to look out for 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 4: at home as on Newcastle. As you mentioned, obviously they're 58 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 4: on the road last weekend, and yeah, touching on Rodery, 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: I suppose we do need to be mindful about it 60 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: when approaching this. And if you fold that into the 61 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 4: fact that, yes, they were in the Champions League in midweek, 62 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 4: Yes we have just had an international break. Now they're 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: losing key players. This is a spot for man City, 64 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 4: which looks a little bit awkward. Newcastle very good at home. 65 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: So the thing is for me, Michael, like after the 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: types of games like we saw Arsenal versus City, after 67 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 4: not everything went the way went Citi's way, I always 68 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: kind of like to get get behind them in the 69 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 4: following game, because City with a point to proof, like 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: that's an animal you really don't want to get into 71 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: a cage with. But like you said, for all the 72 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: reasons mentioned, yeah, I'm not so keen to take them on, 73 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: especially at the prices they are. What are they? Yeah, yeah, 74 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 4: it's short to get the win here, So I would 75 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 4: be leaning towards Newcastle. But just from like what I said, 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 4: just from what I've seen from them so far this season, 77 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: I'm not overly keen to keen to take them on. 78 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 4: But saying that, you would expect Newcastle to score at 79 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: home and if they do so, then that plus one 80 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: Asian handicap will look really good. But for me, I'm 81 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 4: probably just gonna sit this one out. 82 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Newcastle is the side here. Now 83 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I know people didn't like what Arsenal 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: did in the second half against City. That's going to 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: be the norm going forward of what people are going 86 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: to do in Manchester City. Because it's very clear that 87 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: Pep has no interests of overloading wide areas. He only 88 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: wants to play through the middle, and so what do 89 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: you have to do? You have to play very compact 90 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: to be able to stop City. So you know, Newcastle 91 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: gave City some problems last season when they played at 92 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Saint James Park. And the biggest thing that I think 93 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: Newcastle has over a lot of the teams that have 94 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: already played City is there a really dangerous transition team, 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: probably one of the most dangerous in the Premier League. 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: When City is committing so many guys forward. If you've 97 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: watched their matches, especially a match against West Ham, there 98 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: were constant situations where there's two v two or three 99 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: v three's going back in transition and if you go back, 100 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: both the Newcastle's goals that they scored against City were 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: on transition breaks where Ea Shack or Gordon got in. 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: One v one is against Kyle Walker. So I think 103 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: the biggest thing is obvious since Rodri's not there, that 104 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: limits the amount of control that City can have. But 105 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: I think the bigger loss if he's not going to 106 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: play is Kevin de Bruyna, because if you remember that 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: match last season, he came on in like the sixtieth 108 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: minute and he torched Newcastle because he is really the 109 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: only guy who can play balls over the top and 110 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: create against these really compact low blocks. You saw that 111 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: aainst Arsenal without him, I mean, City was just passing 112 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: the ball back and forth up top. Their center backs 113 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: took thirteen shots, like that's just going to become the norm. 114 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: And even if you watch them in the AFL Cup, 115 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: I know they have played a completely rotated squad, but 116 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: Watford sat in the most compact five three two I've 117 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: ever seen and they just kept passing the ball around 118 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: and just taking shots from outside the box. So I'm 119 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: not so sure City can break down these type of 120 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: low defensive structures without Kevin de Bruyne available. 121 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: You know. 122 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: The tricky and the tricky part here is like when 123 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: do you buy the price on Newcastle right because if 124 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: we don't know the status for de Bruyna right now, 125 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 1: he's I think Lissa is doubtful, you know, maybe questionable. 126 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: At best City open at minus one seventy five. Now 127 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: they're down at minus one sixty five now that Roder's out. 128 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I have a really hard time believing they're going to 129 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: get back to minus one seventy five, even if De 130 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: Bruyne comes back in. So for me, I like Newcastle 131 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: plus one. They've obviously been amazing at Saint James Park 132 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: since you know, the start of the twenty twenty two 133 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: to twenty three season, they have a plus one point 134 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: two three expected goal differential for ninety minutes. So I 135 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: think this is a good spot on Newcastle. Like I 136 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: have City projected at minus one thirty seven assuming they 137 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: were fully healthy. So you know, you take about you know, 138 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen to twenty cents off for Rodri I 139 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: think you're getting a price closer to minus one twenty 140 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: on City of where it should be. 141 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 3: There's always one match, I think, on a slate, and 142 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 3: this goes across like any sport that I say this 143 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: quite a bit like if you were to ask me 144 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: to make a bet here, I just feel like, no 145 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: matter which option I pick, will end up losing. And 146 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: that's how I feel about the next one we're going 147 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 3: to talk about seven Sunday, eleven thirty am Eastern between 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: United and Spurs. 149 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: The United is plus one. 150 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: Twenty five at Old Trafford, Spurs plus one eighty the 151 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: Jaws plus two ninety. Tottenham with a really compelling strong 152 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: performance against Brentford and that came on the heels of 153 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 3: what was a good showing against Arsenal in a one 154 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: zero loss as well, like they played all right in 155 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: that one. They were pretty good against Newcastle the week 156 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: before that. You look their schedule and if you look 157 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: at it kind of soberly, the Lester draw looks ugly. 158 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: But we talked about that game, right, They dominated, just 159 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 3: couldn't finish absolutely smoked Everton, smoked Brentford and then the 160 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 3: two kind of tough losses against Arsenal Newcastle. So I 161 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: don't know if this team's results are painting a fair 162 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: picture of them. I think they should probably be maybe 163 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: a couple points higher in the standings. That said, I 164 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: do also think that they have the profile of a 165 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: team that can kind of just not either not make 166 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 3: good or bear fruit on like good performances, and sometimes 167 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 3: they just might throw up a dud. And now they're 168 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: playing a team in United, who I mean, do you 169 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: want to talk about a team that can drive someone 170 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: up a wall? This is certainly one A nil nil 171 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: against Pallas over the weekend, which they were the better team. 172 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 2: I can't believe. I don't know how that game stayed 173 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: on nil nil. I'm really met. I wasn't a part 174 00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: of it. 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 3: They they got pants by Liverpool, comprehensively beat by Brighton, 176 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 3: a good performance in the open air against Fulham and 177 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 3: the big win against Southampton too, So I feel like 178 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: these teams are kind of just on level pegging and 179 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: they both have obvious flaws and obvious strengths. And United's 180 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: at home, so it makes sense for them to be 181 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 3: the slight favorite here or the favorite here. And I 182 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: don't know, I just all that said, like it's a 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: recipe for me to just run far away from this gameja, 184 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 3: I don't want any part of it. 185 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: I don't either. I think this is I mean, I 186 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: don't even know what to make of this match. And 187 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: I think this is one of those situations where, you know, 188 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who bets, you know, over I understand 189 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: there are people that just come in for the weekend 190 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: and then you know, maybe they might pit or pat 191 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: her out. But if you're somebody who's betting the Premier 192 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: League like week in and week out over a long period, 193 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: this is a match where you're going to learn a 194 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: lot about both teams, right because you know, United has 195 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: been a better build up team, They've been better out 196 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: of possession. But I think the real question mark is 197 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,439 Speaker 1: is what do they do out of possession? In this match, 198 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: because it's pretty clear that the way to beat Tottenham 199 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: is to sit deep and to not press them, and 200 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,839 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to generate a lot 201 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: of chances. And United has proven over a long period 202 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: of time were like you know about you know, the 203 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: beginning of this season, even partly last season, that if 204 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: they're at full strength playing in a compact structure, they're 205 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: actually pretty good. Where they suck is when they try 206 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: to press teams. So I think that's the biggest question 207 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: mark of what United does here as far as Tottenham 208 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: is concerned. You know, Liverpool really gave United a lot 209 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: of problems with their press and they set and sitting 210 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: in that type of mid block. So I think Tottenham 211 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: can cause problems and maybe generate some easy chances here 212 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: and there. But it might be a good opportunity to 213 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: live bet whoever just goes down just betting the opposite 214 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: side as well. That might be an angle to play here. 215 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: So for me, I'm passing. I have this projected right 216 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: in line with the market, so I have zero interest 217 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: in betting this match. But it will be a fun 218 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: match to lie, I think, because whoever goes down first 219 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: is going to obviously crank the pressure up, crank the 220 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: aggression up, and try to get back into the game. 221 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: So and both these defenses are very vulnerable and blow leads, 222 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: you know, routinely. So that's the way I would play it. 223 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: Sam, any any interest in getting involved here? Are you 224 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: joining us and just sprinting away from this one? 225 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 226 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 4: Kind of. I've got a better just if you want 227 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: to have a bit of fun. It's kind of same 228 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: game parlay. But I'll be honest, I hate all of 229 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 4: the main markets here in what is a game involving 230 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 4: two sides, I'm just not sure about in the minute 231 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 4: From a betting perspective, three point five is the go line, 232 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: which is where I'd have it as a boot maker. 233 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 4: United slight favorites, but still not convinced how much I 234 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: want to trust them, especially after they're going to host 235 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 4: FC twenty midweek, which might not be a walk in 236 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 4: the park. Twenty scored in sixteen consecutive games, so that 237 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 4: might be harder than it looks for them. Tottenham played 238 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 4: carra Bag on Thursday, so there's a lot of minutes 239 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 4: going into the legs of these players. Again, we saw 240 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 4: as we spoke about Rodery buckle in the Arsenal penalty 241 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: era on the weekend after a busy summer, so it's 242 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 4: really hard to know exactly where these teams will be at. 243 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: I want to buy into this being a blockbuster one 244 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 4: for the Ages despite increased workloads. I really hope that's 245 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 4: what we get. We know Tottenham's going to go for it. 246 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 4: I hope United do too. Like BJ said, it's going 247 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 4: to be interesting to see how they set up to 248 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 4: kind of quell this Tottenham side. Both teams to score 249 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 4: is at minus two seven eight, which is criminal, but 250 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 4: you compare that with over three cards in the same 251 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 4: game parlay and you can get to which I think 252 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 4: is minus one two three So short price, not much 253 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 4: value there, but I would like to think we get 254 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 4: goals and I'd like to think we get cards as well. 255 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: Chris cavan is the ref three point seven to seven 256 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 4: cards per ninety averaging all competitions last term. He's just 257 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 4: giving out six yellows in Arsenal verse Brian at the 258 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 4: end of August and then six again and Wolves versus 259 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 4: Newcastle in September. So if you want a bet to 260 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: just kind of cheer along in a match which might 261 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 4: descend into a little bit of chaos then both team 262 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 4: score and over three cards at minus one two three. 263 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: But I'll say the value is very much not there. 264 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 3: That brings us to Arsenal and Leicester two title rivals 265 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: from about eight years ago. Arsenals minus five seventy five 266 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 3: at home Leicester thirteen to one on the road to 267 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: draw here is plus seven fifty Arsenal of course, coming 268 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 3: off of the two to two against City. I agree 269 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 3: with you here, Sam, you want who jogged down this 270 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 3: bed first. I don't know if there's a path to 271 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 3: scoring here for Leicester, So backing Arsenal to win in 272 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 3: a shutout or in some sort of alternate spread or 273 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 3: something I think is the way to go. 274 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 4: Yes, there is a path for Leicester to score here, 275 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: and that's if a sixteen year old starts and go 276 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 4: for them at the weekend best Leicester like he's going 277 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: to tonight against Bowin. There are rumors that David Raya 278 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: may be injured, So what I would do here is 279 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: I would just keep an eye on how Arsenal versus 280 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 4: Bolton goes, have a look for team news, see who's 281 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 4: going to set up for Arsenal on the weekend. If 282 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 4: it's David Rya, Gabrielle's Saliba and the rest of them, 283 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 4: then this is very much on. I think probably do 284 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: the same bet for Southampton next weekend as well. Leicester 285 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 4: stumped up zero point five XG after eighty minutes away 286 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: in Warsaw last night. 287 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: League to Warsaw. 288 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: That kind of sums up what they're about in the 289 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: final third right now. They won that game last night, 290 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 4: needed penalties, They started Edward decord over Reid won a 291 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 4: not am fatter across their front line full strength. I 292 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 4: just bringing Jordan au in to Chipping goes in the 293 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: Premier League, I'm just not having it os And Edward 294 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 4: wasn't Steve Coober's first choice. I think they'd kind of 295 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 4: identified a few players before him up top. And we 296 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: spoke about Jamie Vardy already. 297 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 5: Yeah on an. 298 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 4: Uncovering o ground. I don't think Jamie Vardi is your 299 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 4: man either. And despite scoring six goals in the Premier League, 300 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 4: Leicester have only managed three point nine to nine XG 301 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: in five Premier League games, second verse to only Ipswich 302 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: and they've only recorded one point zero XG or more 303 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 4: in two out of five Premier League games. So when 304 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: you come into the Emirates when you're coming up against 305 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 4: this Arsenal batline at home, it might maybe a bit 306 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: of recency bias after what I saw them do in 307 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 4: the second half against Man City that is very much 308 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 4: fresh in my mind. But I just don't know if 309 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: that same kind of fortune or luck it's going to 310 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 4: follow Leicester to the Emirates. So if they continue posting 311 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 4: less than one point zero XG throughout a ninety minute period, 312 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: then they may not find the netter. So Winter Neil 313 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 4: are minus one twenty for Arsenal. 314 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm on the same line, so like 315 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: under three plus one or five. So Arsenal has had 316 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: the misfortune of playing down a man for some egregious 317 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: calls twice now, but playing just eleven v eleven this season, 318 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: they're only allowing point eight x cheaper ninety minutes. That's 319 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: second best only Liverpool. The defense is still incredible, Like 320 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: there's you know, you can look at all the stats, 321 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: a lot of them are wankle wonky because they've played 322 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: basically a full match down a man. But you know, 323 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: Sam obviously already hit the nail on the head with 324 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Lester's offense. As far as Arsenal's offense is concerned, I mean, 325 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: they miss Ouda Guard a lot, and them selling Fabio 326 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: Vieira and Emil smith Row in the summer has just 327 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: proven to be maybe not the best strategy because they 328 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: don't have anybody behind oda Guard that can create the 329 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: way that he does, which means there's more pressure on Sokka. 330 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: He's getting doubled and he can't do anything. Same thing 331 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: with Martinelli on the left. Everts we know is you know, 332 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: he's fine in a system that has someone like Odegard 333 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: who can create, but just leaving him up top alone 334 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: is not the best strategy. And I listen, Steve Cooper's 335 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: got his lesser team in a really well drilled five 336 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: three two low block. I mean, the only concern here 337 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: for Lester really, I mean, obviously the considers some concerns 338 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: were well in play, but they've just conceded a ton 339 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: off of set pieces, and obviously Arsenal is one of 340 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: the best, so that's the big concern. That's probably Arsenal's 341 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: best path to actually scoring a goal. So for me, 342 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, Arsenal's got PSG in the Champions League coming up, 343 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: be you know, I mean, they're They're probably gonna play 344 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: the Academy Kids on Wednesday. You're gonna listening to this 345 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: on Thursday, so we don't know, but I'll be interesting 346 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: to see what type of lineup they play. You know, 347 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: they're like you said, dobvid Rye might not play. Although 348 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: they brought in Nato, who has been a very good 349 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: cold goalkeeper for Burnmouth, always positive post shot, actually post 350 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: minus in his days on the South Coast, so I 351 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: don't think there'll be a huge drop off to him. 352 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know how Lester's scoring here, but 353 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: I have a little bit of concerns the Arsenal's offense 354 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: without Oda guard looks like he's gonna be back October fifteenth, 355 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: so Arsen's probably gonna struggle up until that point. 356 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 3: Okay, so not expecting too many goals in that one, 357 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 3: or we're hoping for the next one. 358 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 2: Chelsea and Brighton. 359 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: Chelsea's minus one forty at home, Brighton plus three thirty 360 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: on the road of the draws plus three twenty. I 361 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 3: know what I'm supposed to do in this situation. You know, 362 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: We've been talking about this Chelsea team quite a bit. 363 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: They look pretty impressive of late. They haven't lost since 364 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: the opener to City, and it does look like Maresca 365 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 3: has a decent kind of just handle on how to 366 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: manage the squad. And then you have Brighton, who came 367 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 3: out of the blocks of Gangbusters with the win over Everden, 368 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: then the win against Man United, a good draw against Arsenal, 369 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 3: and then they put up nil nil against Ipswich, which 370 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 3: nobody sucked coming, and then to two draw against a 371 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 3: really feisty Forest team, and now they take on a 372 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: Chelsea team, and I still don't know if the gap 373 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 3: is as why as these odds suggest between these two 374 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 3: teams at this very moment, like it might be just 375 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 3: overall when we get to the end of the season. 376 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 3: I do think, if you like flip this the results 377 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 3: from Brighton, like they come out of the gates with 378 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: those two draws and then they put together the wins, 379 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: this number looks a lot shorter. 380 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: I believe in them. 381 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 3: I still think that they can cause a rucus against 382 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: you know, the big big six sides, et cetera. So 383 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: I know I'm supposed to bet be Brighton here BJ 384 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna get there, But this Chelsea team, 385 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 3: like I want to know it's it's one of those 386 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: situations like, are we gonna find out this is like 387 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: the match where we find out if if what we're 388 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: seeing is real. 389 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with that, and I think that the 390 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: best way to play this is to wait and see 391 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: where the line moves, because I think that there is 392 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: a good possibility that Chelsea could get north of minus 393 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: one fifty even to minus one sixty, and you can 394 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: get a decent price on Brighton plus one. By the 395 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: time we reach match time. There's not many there's not 396 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: too many concerning injuries. You know, jile Pedro is questionable 397 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: for this one. But you know, thinking about Brighton, I 398 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: mean they're the deepest attacking team in the Premier League 399 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: and there's really no debate about that. They have so 400 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: many guys they can bring in and give the level 401 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: of production over and over again. Because it's like if 402 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: jile Pedro doesn't come in, well then it's gonna be 403 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: probably like Evan Ferguson, or it's going to be a 404 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: Dingro or like all those guys can still do it. 405 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: One thing, so Brighton is playing very aggressively out of possession. 406 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: They're playing a very high line and they're doing a 407 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: really good job at disrupting build up play. And you 408 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: know Chelsea the last few matches or so, they got 409 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: hammered by Brighton's press or hammered by bournmous press on 410 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: the road. They played west Ham and then they played 411 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: krist Palace. West Ham is the worst defensive team in 412 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: the league. Maybe maybe if switches, but Chris Palace is 413 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: playing incredibly passive as well. So this is like the 414 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: the second time they're going to face a good press, 415 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: and the first time they faced it they didn't do 416 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: a good job. They stole Wain at Bournemouth and created 417 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: really nothing. Herzler will not be on the sidelines because 418 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: he got a red card. I still don't understand why 419 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: he got the red card in that match against Forest. 420 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: That's still is puzzling to me. 421 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: I understand you coach is missing this weekend. 422 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, Nuna was yelling a lot and I'm I'm guessing 423 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: some obscenities were being thrown at the ref. So I 424 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: get that red card, but I didn't see Herzler say anything, 425 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: And I don't understand why you was so upset. But 426 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: that kind of concerns me a little bit, with him 427 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: being such a new coach and such a new system 428 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: and everything like that, So that kind of part of it, 429 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, makes me a little bit uneasy. But again, 430 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: if we get to Brighton plus one, I have to 431 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: play that like I have Chelsea at minus one ten here, 432 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think this is a decent chance for Brighton, 433 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: but I just need a better price. 434 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like Brighton plus one. I think that'll 435 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 4: be a good bet because I like goes here and 436 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 4: I'll think if if Brighton can get on the scoreesheet, 437 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 4: which I think they have in them, then that plus 438 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 4: one will look pretty good. Chelsea are improving, like you mentioned, 439 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 4: but that game last week, I'm not sure how much 440 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 4: we can take from it from a Chelsea point of view. 441 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 4: And that's no slight on them, because you can only 442 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 4: beat what's in front of you. But west Ham four 443 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 4: really bad. We'll talk about them in the next game, 444 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: but really really bad. But yeah, now Chelsea minus one 445 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 4: for three at home after a decent start to the season. 446 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 4: Players coming into form. Nicholas Jackson is very much feeling 447 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 4: himself five mil in the Cup against League two Barrow 448 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 4: on Tuesday nights, So the feeling's good in the Chelsea camp. 449 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 5: Not something I. 450 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 4: Would have really foreseen to this extent a couple of 451 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 4: months ago. But like I said, I like goes. Many 452 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 4: people will over. Three point zero is the line and 453 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: minus one twenty it's okay, it doesn't really get me going. 454 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 4: I think that's set about right. But elsewhere Nicholas Jackson, 455 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: with him finding his rhythm and the plethora of attacking 456 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 4: talent behind plus one seventy five for Jackson, anytime scorer. 457 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 4: Won't usually put any time go scorers up on this podcast, 458 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 4: but I like that Chelsea leading striker. Don't think that's 459 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: the worst bet you'll see this weekend. Only Earling Holland 460 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 4: has a higher XG this season than Nicholas Jackson's three 461 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 4: point two eight x G from thirteen shots. Holand has 462 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 4: taken exactly double the amount of shots Jackson has amounted 463 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 4: to five point eight one XG total, But obviously we're 464 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 4: comparing him to one of the best strikers that has 465 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 4: ever lived. But regardless, it's been a decent start for 466 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: the Chelsea front man. He scored fourteen and thirty one 467 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 4: starts last season, so I think that's a pretty good 468 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 4: price for him to get on the score Shoet this weekend. 469 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 3: Let's talk about west Ham there plus two twenty five 470 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 3: on the road at Brentford, the B's plus one twenty 471 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: in the draws plus two sixty. I like Brentford here, 472 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: but I also want to throw out there that west 473 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 3: Ham is twenty three to one to be relegated. I 474 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 3: don't think that's a bad bet because the way that's 475 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: the defense is played has been just it's been bad, 476 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: not just this year, right, so it's not just no 477 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 3: pategy coming and not having like a handle on it. 478 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,479 Speaker 2: They were really bad last year. 479 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 3: So this could be a more of like a situation 480 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 3: where there's actual some serious rot than anything else. And 481 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 3: the problem with the with them getting relegated is like 482 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 3: the bottom of the league. Right now, there are six 483 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: winless teams right Lester Palace, Ipswich, Southampton, Evident and Wolfs. 484 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 3: None of them have won a game yet, which I've 485 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: never seen anything like that before we were this far 486 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 3: into a season. We have six teams that have yet 487 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: to win. You'd expect that Lester, Ipswich and Southampton especially 488 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: will struggle. We might see another team kind of come 489 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 3: down towards them. But with the way that like a 490 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 3: team like Forrest is trending away the teams teams like 491 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 3: Follomer trending. We're starting to maybe Brentford as well, Like 492 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: these teams are starting to separate themselves from the pack. 493 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 3: Where I think we're looking at a pretty clear cohort 494 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: of teams that are an that I think have a 495 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: chance going down, that being west Ham Leicester. I'm not 496 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: even gonna put Palace in there. I do think that 497 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 3: they correct themselves, Ipswich, Southampton, Everton and Wolves. So out 498 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 3: of that, now you're dealing with six teams and I 499 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 3: don't know if I trust west Ham to sort their 500 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 3: defensive issues out well enough to get away from this pack, 501 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 3: and that's really all you're asking for. So I think 502 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: that they can outrun those odds at twenty three to 503 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: one to go down, don't. I don't think that's a 504 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 3: bad bed at all, Sam. I think we'll continue to 505 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 3: bet against this west Ham team until they show us 506 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 3: any signs of life, Like it's just crazy. 507 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 5: Twenty three to one. I love it. 508 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 4: The only thing is if this continues, Lopotage has gone 509 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 4: and he's gone very soon, so obviously that's the that's 510 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 4: what you need to consider when taking a relegation. 511 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: Pun but yeah, just bring back David Moyes. 512 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, get him bark call it Big Sam. 513 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: Give it Big Sam for the rest of the year. 514 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: Call it Big Sam. He's been he's been doing a 515 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: lot of talking, so maybe he can back it up, maybe. 516 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: Both of them. 517 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 518 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: A relegation, a relegation, super team. 519 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: Make it a trio. Bring Roy wheelchair. 520 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 2: Get we get to Lewis in there too. 521 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 1: Just three men, three men coaching crew, bring them all in. 522 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: Before Saturday's game, west Ham had never lost their first 523 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 4: three home games of a season, so both managers had 524 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: changed both teams, sorry, had changed the managers since their 525 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 4: last meeting in May, so obviously now lapotage versus Maresca, 526 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 4: and it took just four minutes for them to concede. 527 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 4: Sancho got an assist, Jackson did the heavy lifting. I 528 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 4: don't know if you can remember the go really poor 529 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 4: go to concede. There was so much space on the 530 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: left for Chelsea to exploit, and Jackson just waltz through. 531 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 4: Rodriguez couldn't keep up with him. I think he was 532 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 4: tasked like man to man mark Jackson in the first half, 533 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 4: which just didn't work, and he just it was just 534 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 4: nowhere near quick enough to keep up with Jackson. It 535 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 4: kind of reminded me of like when you were training, 536 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 4: like in a training drill when you were like eight 537 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 4: years old, and the coach would step in for a 538 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: minute or so and get on the ball and just 539 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 4: keep people arms length. It was exactly like that. It 540 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: was literally like men verse boys. There was nowhere near him. 541 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 4: He just ran through and just put it through the 542 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 4: keeper's legs. And this Jackson second goal was almost as 543 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: embarrassing as the first. Actually almost Chelsea knocked it around 544 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 4: like they were up against eleven mannekins. There was no 545 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 4: real pressure on the ball, there were certainly no challenges 546 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 4: of note, and three or four passes and they were 547 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 4: through like a knife through butter. It was like west 548 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 4: Ham went even on the pitch and defensively for them. 549 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 4: It's just especially that first half, very concerning. Straight after 550 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: half time, quick Chelsea break, west Ham players jogging back 551 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 4: and I think Poketa might have even slowed down to 552 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 4: a halt when chasing Cole Palmer before the Chelsea man 553 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 4: scored a fad with what was a delightful finish. But yeah, 554 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 4: Chelsea had three on two following a passage of playing 555 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 4: Chelsea's defensive third. It took three passes I think, and 556 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 4: there was three on two in west Ham's box in 557 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 4: west Ham's half. Sorry, it was just really poor. And 558 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 4: if you turn up to Brentford like that, in the 559 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 4: same shape, Brentford will do exactly the same to west 560 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 4: Ham as Chelsea did. If they arrive in similar fashion, 561 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 4: west Ham or shall play on Wednesday night in the 562 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 4: AFL Cup at anfield where they might get the run around, 563 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 4: which is not ideal. Lopotage, you would say, needs positive results. 564 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 4: He wants to win trophies like David Moyes before him, 565 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 4: so he might be forced him to play a lot 566 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 4: of the big guns on Wednesday. And I feel like 567 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 4: Brentford and west Ham are quite evenly matched. To be honest, 568 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 4: I think they'll likely finish in the same ballpark if 569 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 4: west Ham can sort their defensive issues out. If you 570 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 4: like Brentford here like me, but you aren't totally convinced 571 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 4: and would like a bit of security than Brentford minus 572 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 4: serial point two far with the draw on our side 573 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 4: at minus one of five might be a way to go. 574 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: I just think that Brentford have well Brentford get a 575 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 4: bit of joy here against this west Ham defense because 576 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: it is looking really bad. 577 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: You know what it is, It's like you took David 578 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: Moyes's low block and you just moved to twenty yards 579 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: up the pitch. That's what they've done. They've just taken 580 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: their low block to a high block and they have 581 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: the same amount of problems. The amount of space in 582 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: the middle that Chelsea was able to just pass the 583 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: ball through was like alarming. They're not providing it, like 584 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: Sam said, they're not providing any ball pressure. So you're 585 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: just kind of sitting in this high block. You're not 586 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: really forcing turnovers. You're just kind of letting teams play through. 587 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: And so since you're playing a high line, teams can 588 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: just play off the back of you and create chances. Well, 589 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: how does Brentford create all other chances? A lot of 590 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: those three balls in behind to Umbuemo, That's how he 591 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: creates most of them. The most of their chances come 592 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: in transition. The one thing I'll say about Brentford, which 593 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: is I don't want to say concerning, and this match 594 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: is not concerning, But when they play against good like 595 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: what they did against Tottenham is Thomas Frank is trying 596 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: to transition them to a team that controls matches, builds 597 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: out of the back, presses high all this you know, 598 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: modern stuff to raise the ceiling of them, which I 599 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: get to a certain extent, right because if you play 600 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: three you know, three five to two low block, counter 601 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 1: attacking football, like you know, what's your peak on that, right, 602 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: finishing like ninth or eighth. So I know he wants 603 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: to get them to the next level and there's gonna 604 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: be some growing pains with that. That's not going to 605 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: happen in this match because well, like I said, west 606 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: Ham's not going to apply any ball pressure. But beyond 607 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: the lookout for that for Brentford, you know, they used 608 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: to be when they played lesser teams like you know 609 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: west Ham for example, where they'd play out of four 610 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: to three three and they'd play more you know, build up, 611 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: pressing and all this stuff. But when they played against 612 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: the big boys, it was you know, three five two 613 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: low block. They're not doing the three five to two 614 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: low block that much anymore, which is a little concerning, 615 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: but again, good matchup from them here at home. Since 616 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: Brentford got promoted to the Premier League, they've been really 617 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: good at home plus nineteen expected gold differential over the 618 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: last three years. West Ham last season was minus fifteen 619 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: away from home. So great spot here for Brentford. I 620 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: have them projected closer to even money, so I like 621 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: them on plus one twenty five. 622 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 3: Okay, and now we have to do it. Unfortunately, talk 623 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 3: a little Everdon. 624 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 2: They are plus. We nailed that one on that, Michael. 625 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the market and by the way, the market 626 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: moved incredibly in favor of Lester on Saturday morning. I 627 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: mean Lester was getting close to now even money. It 628 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: was crazy. 629 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 3: Anyways, they yeah, another blown lead for the topies. Now 630 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 3: they take on a Palace team that, like I said, 631 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: I think has a lot more teeth than their record shows. 632 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if you want to say that about it. 633 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 3: I don't know what you want to say about Everdon. 634 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 3: Bja and I are passing because I'm not letting either 635 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 3: one of us touch this game. But Sam, you got 636 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 3: something for us and Everton in Palace, and it does 637 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 3: look the one silver lining for Everton. 638 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: It does look like. 639 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 3: They are getting Jared Brandswaite back and that should be 640 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 3: pretty helpful. Since Michael Keening, like Michael Kean the piss 641 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 3: to start the season. 642 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 4: I should say, well that is helpful and another big positive. 643 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 4: Michael Illminin dies first, Everton go taking brilliantly. He was 644 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 4: a shining light for Everton at the weekend. Really impressed 645 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 4: with him and Everton with the better team in the 646 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 4: first half. It flipped round in the second but the 647 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: onus switched to Leicester to try and get back into 648 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 4: the game, and that mixed with the general feeling around 649 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 4: Everton thanks to recent fixtures that lightning would strike and 650 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 4: they somehow can see saw less than them find the 651 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 4: net with twenty to go and then Everton had to 652 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 4: hang on. So this was very much a game of 653 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 4: two halfs. But again I think Everton might feel a 654 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 4: grieved that they've not won the game or put it 655 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 4: to bed earlier on better side for an hour or so. Yeah, 656 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 4: let's a stuck at got the goal they deserved them. 657 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 4: Evon are playing well, like I feel there is a 658 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 4: game coming where they will blow away their opponents. I'm 659 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 4: not sure if it's Palace at Home, so I'm not 660 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: going to bet on them to win. But one price 661 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 4: that stuck out to me it was over two point 662 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,120 Speaker 4: five goals at minus one twelve. Everton have scored five 663 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 4: in their last three games. They've conceded fourteen in their 664 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 4: opening five games, more than any other side. 665 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 5: Matching Wolves. 666 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 4: Both Wolves and Everton both the biggest expected goes against 667 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 4: two goals conceded discrepancy in the Premier League. So Everton's 668 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 4: fourteen goes conceded from nine point zero two expected goes 669 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 4: against suggest they've been terribly unlucky, unfortunate, and that's likely 670 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 4: why we can get a two point five goal line 671 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 4: here with the bookie's projections having this under three goals. 672 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 4: I'd imagine, but I don't know. It's Evan, isn't it 673 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 4: so that this something deeper than expected goes and play here? 674 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 5: At present? 675 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 4: This is Evan Football Club. It's feels like, I don't know, 676 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 4: the ball is kind of being sucked into their net 677 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 4: whenever light appears at the end of the tunnel. And 678 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 4: that's very much going to play on the minds of 679 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 4: the players and the minds of the fans. And you know, 680 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: Goodison Park can get like when they're not too happy, 681 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 4: and I just I wouldn't be surprised if the same 682 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 4: happens again against the likes of Matete and running out 683 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 4: for a Palace side, who, by the way, are also 684 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 4: looking for a spark, also looking for their first win. 685 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 4: So I see both sides scoring and once the first 686 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,439 Speaker 4: goes in, and I say it a lot, but once 687 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 4: that first go goes in, I think this could open 688 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 4: up to be a pretty exciting encounter. So over two 689 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 4: point five goals at minus one twelve and hopefully for 690 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 4: Michael's sake, Everton can run out winners. 691 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: Do you see what's happening, Michael. We're starting to start 692 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: to closely push him towards Everton. 693 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 2: He's getting there's good. 694 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 1: Five weeks now, but now we're I'm the other side. 695 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, maybe it's not such a bad 696 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 1: idea they're playing. 697 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,439 Speaker 2: Maybe it's not they're playing well. 698 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 3: Once I heard, honestly, it's sent to shiver up my spine. 699 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 3: Sand when you said they're actually playing well, that's it. 700 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,200 Speaker 4: I know, just just not for twenty minutes. They just 701 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 4: has an issue in the Premier. 702 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,800 Speaker 1: League that it's an issue about the price here again, 703 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: the market steamed heavily against Everton on Saturday morning. We've 704 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: already seen Palace take a little bit of money here, 705 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: so you could get Everton close to two to one 706 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: by match time. So if that's the case, I will 707 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: take I will take Everton, John no Bett and anything 708 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: plus one h five or better I will definitely do that. 709 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: So just be on the lookout for the price here. 710 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: Brainth way back obviously makes things a little bit better. Okay, 711 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: Forrest and Everton is south of minus two hundred and 712 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: now to stay up, which I love that as well. 713 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: If you didn't get minus two. 714 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 3: Fifteen and they're eighteen to one for a top half 715 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 3: finish too, BJ I mean, if we do think same, 716 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 3: they're playing well, talk about the new ownership yet now 717 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 3: let's not even get it there. But maybe listen, we've 718 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 3: been we've been down this path of million times. 719 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's. 720 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: Just yeah, well I saw something that whoever was prospective 721 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,560 Speaker 1: owner maybe wanted jay Z involved. It maybe is not 722 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: as the best thing to do current time. 723 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 3: That would be jay Z's one hundredth problem getting involved 724 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 3: with everybody. Forrest and Fulham next. Forrest's plus one forty five, 725 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 3: Fulham is plus two oh five. The draws plus two 726 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 3: twenty five. I was very wrong about Fulham. Very impressive 727 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 3: start the year, and I think both of these teams 728 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 3: are going about their business in a similar way, and 729 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 3: I think it's the right way and the very pragmatic 730 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 3: way when you're in their kind of class. And it's 731 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 3: sad to say, but it's just the state of the 732 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: Premier League now, Like if you're in that kind of 733 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 3: I would say, like just above the relegation zone. If 734 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 3: for in terms of like your preseason projections, you do 735 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 3: want to just I don't want to say batten down 736 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,560 Speaker 3: the hatches, because that's not giving these two teams enough credit, 737 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 3: but you want to play a smart, pragmatic game, and 738 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 3: that's what they're doing. They're doing it really well. You know, 739 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 3: won't be on the sidelines. I don't think that matters 740 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 3: all that much. Morgan Gibbs White I believe, is also out, 741 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 3: so that does matter here. But it's hard not to 742 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 3: be impressed with both these teams. It really really solid defensively, 743 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 3: top five I believe the two of them, and expected 744 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 3: goals allowed to start the year, and it's not like 745 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 3: the schedules have been all that kind to either one 746 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 3: of them. So I like the draw here. I think 747 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: it's one where a one to one makes a lot 748 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 3: of sense and even the nil, the nil nails a 749 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 3: little short. It's under ten to one in the Premier League. 750 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 3: I don't really want to do that, but that's where 751 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 3: I'm looking here. I think I don't think either one 752 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 3: of these teams is going to put the other one 753 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 3: away and the draw should be in play for all 754 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 3: ninety minutes. Sam, So I'll take a draw here at 755 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 3: the City ground. 756 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't hate it, and if you're looking at 757 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 4: last we can full them out doing Newcastle with relative 758 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 4: ease at the end. Free one at the College raw 759 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 4: him and has opened the scoring and looks like he 760 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 4: might be nearing back to his best. Maybe we saw it, 761 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 4: maybe maybe not, but yeah, a typical Row him and 762 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 4: the strap. I think he took it down on his chest, 763 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 4: kind of close control, swiveled and just smashed it past 764 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 4: Nick Pope. 765 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 5: So great go. 766 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 4: I thought they looked really handy going forward Forham like 767 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 4: they progress forwards with pace, which they have in abundance. 768 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 4: Commit bodies into the final. They've got willing runners in 769 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 4: triore it will be smith. Row now wants to be 770 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 4: involved in every attack. He's always on his toes, head 771 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,799 Speaker 4: on a swivel. Clearly instructed to get forward and get 772 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 4: on the ball as often as possible. And actually their 773 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 4: right hand side too with Kenny, Kenny Tests and Adam 774 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 4: a Triory like that is that looks good, that's blossoming 775 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 4: really like tests Ay, he'll get forward once the ball, 776 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 4: willing to get up the pitch and help try or in. 777 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 4: I feel Triory probably needs that sometimes, like that option 778 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 4: for an easy ball rather than him being forced to 779 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,760 Speaker 4: be gung ho, head down and rush things his decision 780 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 4: making obviously, that's probably an area of his game which 781 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,400 Speaker 4: he will always need to improve on. So Testy that helps. 782 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,759 Speaker 4: But yeah, I said it earlier. They deserve to win 783 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 4: in the end. I just don't love forrest a way 784 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 4: for Fulham right now. A team that are improving obviously 785 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,720 Speaker 4: and the new management love playing at the City Ground. 786 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 5: They're one. 787 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 4: A forum beating teams in the Premier League after five 788 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 4: games and they've played Liverpool, Brighton and Bournemouth and three sides. 789 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,440 Speaker 4: We're all quite hot on right now team and form 790 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 4: a team to be wary of. But you're very much right, 791 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 4: Michael Morgan. Gibs White. It's suspended and that is a 792 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 4: big miss. And by the way, I don't know if 793 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 4: you can remember his tackle, and I'm just devastated that's 794 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 4: lost from the game now. Like he goes through the man, 795 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 4: I know, but he wins the ball and everyone you 796 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 4: ask now will tell you that's a yellow card. And 797 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,280 Speaker 4: that's just devastating to me because I absolutely love people 798 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 4: nalen the opposition and getting both man and ball mangoes 799 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 4: flying in the air and ref waves play on. Are 800 00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 4: just never going to get that now. 801 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 2: So Jame's gone. 802 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 4: James gone, So that's unfortunate for our sport on a 803 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:17,879 Speaker 4: general level. But yeah, anyway, he's out. But saying that 804 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 4: it appears the likes of Elliot Anderson, Roman Sosa, I 805 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 4: think it is jotta silver. They've just seamlessly slotted into 806 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 4: this forest side with minimal fuss, and after all the 807 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 4: incomings and outgoings at forest since promotion, I think that's 808 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,840 Speaker 4: a real positive to see that happening now, players adding 809 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 4: to the group on the pictu rather than adding headaches 810 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 4: off it and adding to a bloated squad. So this 811 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 4: is a little bit cowardly, but forrest on the zero 812 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,840 Speaker 4: point zero aging handicapped drawn no bet effectively is minus 813 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,359 Speaker 4: one four three very skinny props, shortest price I've put 814 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 4: up on this podcast, but I think there's still value 815 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 4: there and it could also work as a great like 816 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 4: Premier League parley fodder if if you look in for 817 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,320 Speaker 4: a few selections, tell them together. 818 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 5: So I'll like that. 819 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 3: Don't worry about that price. Just wait till bj starts 820 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 3: throwing up you know, no it minus won sixties. 821 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: No, we'll get to minus one. Some bolt teams to 822 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: score no. Minus one seventy five in Spain. 823 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 5: Well we'll get there evented four. 824 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: I've done that before in this podcast and I got ridicule. 825 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: But the bet one by the way. But yeah, you know, 826 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: I think the price has gone little too far ahead 827 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,120 Speaker 1: on Nottingham Forest so before this match, and obviously lots 828 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 1: of a lot of has happened since then Fulham, you know, 829 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: House to Newcastle and then Nottingam Forst loses Morgan Gibs White. 830 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: But we've gone from plus one ten to plus one 831 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: forty here. I'm not so sure that that's warranted. I'm 832 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: not so sure Morgan Gibbs White is worth twenty to 833 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 1: thirty cents to the line. And the reason for that 834 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: is is because Nottingham Forrest just spent big money on 835 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: Elliott Anderson from Newcastle. Like I know he's a natural 836 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: number eight, but he's somebody who can step into that 837 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: number ten role and provide not near the level of 838 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,040 Speaker 1: production of Morgan Gibbs White, but not have it be 839 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:04,359 Speaker 1: like they don't have anybody else who can do that, right, 840 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: Like he is able to be able to do that. 841 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 1: Like Sam said, they have so many options on the wing, 842 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: Like you know the two guys they started against bright 843 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,320 Speaker 1: and well they can also start Alanga and Hudson Adoy 844 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: and they can really cause a lot of problems. But 845 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me in this match is can 846 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: not eam Forrest attack Fulham through the middle because if 847 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: you do that, you're gonna have a lot of success. 848 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: They don't have any ball stopping in the middle, especially 849 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: when you're getting at them in transition. And the other 850 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: thing about Fulham is you have to remember this. They 851 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: can look really good at home. They are awful away 852 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: from Craven Cottage. Last season they had a minus twelve 853 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: expected old differential wave from there and they consistently this season. 854 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: They've played two matches away from there. They had a 855 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: pretty putrid performance against United to open the season and 856 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,880 Speaker 1: then they drew Ipswich in a match that really nothing 857 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 1: really happens. So I like Forest, I have them with 858 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: al Morgan, Gibbs White, I have them projected closer to 859 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: plus one fifteen. So like Sam said, you know, John 860 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 1: o Bett minus one forty three is a little steep 861 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: right now, but let's just wait until we get closer 862 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: to match time and maybe we can get a better 863 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 1: price on them. 864 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 3: Forced the tricky trees. So up next for us as 865 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 3: Wolves and Liverpool this one at the Mole and you 866 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 3: Wolves plus six fifty at home, Liverpool minus two seventy five, 867 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 3: the draws plus four fifty. The Reds have course corrected 868 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 3: after that lost to force a couple of weeks back 869 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 3: showing in the Champions League, then a big win over 870 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 3: the weekend in the Premier League as well. Nothing really 871 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,200 Speaker 3: interesting here for me at all. 872 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 5: I don't think. 873 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,120 Speaker 3: I do think Wolves start to trend in the right 874 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 3: direction at some point. I just don't think that you 875 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 3: want to do it here, Sam, So you're the only 876 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 3: one of us with any sort of lean in this match, 877 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 3: so floor is yours. 878 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm somewhat interested. You've got a Liverpool frontline where 879 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 4: the Os on the weekend was a real standout. Looked 880 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 4: really good. Darwin nuna Is his first start under Arnie 881 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 4: Slot scored with a brilliant curling effort and he had 882 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,399 Speaker 4: Alexis McAllister in behind, so comfortable in possession. Really really 883 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 4: impressed me always does under pressure. 884 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 5: Doesn't matter. 885 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,319 Speaker 4: It turns on a sixpence and a couple of really 886 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 4: impressive defensive splitting passes on show to boot and there 887 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,719 Speaker 4: was one way to bollied it into Sala's path and 888 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,920 Speaker 4: then Salah went through on goal and it was saved. 889 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,719 Speaker 4: But yeah, brilliant regardless. Wolves, on the other hand, vacated 890 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 4: their weekend fixture with a three to one loss and 891 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 4: the unwanted position of being bottom of the Premier League 892 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 4: without a win, so they took a lead versus Villa 893 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 4: were unlucky not to go to new up in the 894 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,319 Speaker 4: first half, so it could have ended very differently for 895 00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 4: Gary O Newan Wolves, who faced the Villa team that 896 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 4: looked labored from international duties both domestically and internationally. But 897 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,240 Speaker 4: we didn't see one shot from Wolves in the second 898 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 4: half like that is not good enough. They played six 899 00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 4: of the Premier league's top eight now, so we need 900 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,520 Speaker 4: to be mindful. Well, this will be six of the 901 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,680 Speaker 4: Premier League's top eight, so we need to be mindful 902 00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 4: about that. I think it's probably the hardest stretch of 903 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 4: opening games to this point difficulty wise in the division. 904 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 4: So yes they are bottom, but it's been tough for 905 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,239 Speaker 4: them and now it's time for Liverpool at home. 906 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 5: So not ideal. 907 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 4: Liverpool on a minus one point five Asian line. Yeah, 908 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 4: it's okay, it doesn't look I'm not thrilled with it. 909 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 4: Go line at three point twenty five. Don't really fancy 910 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 4: that either. But if you think Liverpool control the game 911 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,800 Speaker 4: and get this over a line in like a business 912 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 4: like fashion, then and you would be well within your 913 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,240 Speaker 4: rights to do so, because over the last fifteen meetings 914 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,800 Speaker 4: in the Premier League, Liverpool have beaten Wolves with under 915 00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:53,240 Speaker 4: four point five goals, cashing on fourteen or fifteen occasions, 916 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 4: so that's pretty remarkable. Like Liverpool have a stranglehold on 917 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 4: this fixture. You can get that minus one sixteen on 918 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 4: bat three sixty five. The concern here is obviously just 919 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 4: the sheer amount of minutes in their legs of these 920 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,399 Speaker 4: Liverpool lodds it's a bit too much, keep going over it. 921 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 4: But that also feeds into the thinking that they won't 922 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 4: want this to be a back and forth and they 923 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,040 Speaker 4: probably won't keep gunning for Wolves if they're ahead in 924 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 4: the game. So Liverpool and under four point five goals 925 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,839 Speaker 4: is happening in the last fourteen out of fifteen head 926 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 4: to heads on this one sixteen. 927 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 3: Okay, Ipswich and Villa up next this one at Ipswich. 928 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 3: They are plus three ten Villa odds on minus one 929 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 3: twenty on the road the draws plus two sixty five. 930 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,759 Speaker 3: I think this thing can develop into a bit of 931 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 3: a back and forth the CISA shootout, however. 932 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 2: You want to say it. Lots of goals. I think 933 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 2: most of them come from Villa. 934 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 3: I don't think that the minus one twenty is a 935 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,839 Speaker 3: bad price to lump into a parlay, even on the road. 936 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 3: So that's what we're gonna do. They're gonna be the 937 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 3: first leg of a parlay that I'll wrap up with 938 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 3: our next and last match. We'll talk about. So I 939 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 3: like Villa here. I think God as well. BJ What 940 00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 3: do you think here between Aston, Villa and Ipswich Town. 941 00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: I think if switch is by far and away the 942 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 1: worst team in the Premier League, and it's really not 943 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,880 Speaker 1: even close right now. There's a lot of people that 944 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,760 Speaker 1: say that Pep has ruined the game. I'm one of them, 945 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 1: and you can see it in the Zipswich side. The 946 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: reason for that is they are controlling thirty seven percent 947 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 1: of the ball right now and they are still trying 948 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 1: to build out of the back. You cannot do that 949 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: when you're holding thirty five to seven percent of the ball. 950 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: You have to play in transition and you have to 951 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,120 Speaker 1: try to counterattack teams. And you see it. They've only 952 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: created three point two expected goals in five matches, half 953 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,000 Speaker 1: of that team against Southampton. They've done nothing against the 954 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: good teams. The other problem is they're not, you know, 955 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,360 Speaker 1: obviously trying to build out of the back against you know, 956 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: good defensive teams. They haven't been able to do any 957 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 1: of that. They are averaging six point one box entries 958 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: per ninety minutes. For context, last season, Sheffield United, who's 959 00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: categoric that you've been one of the worst Premier League 960 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: teams we've ever seen, average eight point five. So if 961 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,040 Speaker 1: things continue the way that they are, if Swich is 962 00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: going to go down as the worst offensive team that 963 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: maybe we've ever seen in the Premier League. I don't 964 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 1: think they have the talent to be able to keep 965 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: up here with aston Villa. The other big problem is 966 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: is that when you try to build out of the back, 967 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 1: they're just turning the ball over at an alarming rate. 968 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:24,240 Speaker 1: You know, great resource for some stats is mark Stats. 969 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: You know, you just updated his site this week and 970 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:31,320 Speaker 1: one of the stats he included was dangerous possession lost 971 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 1: in your own final third, which I think is a 972 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: great stat essentially how many times you know turning it 973 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: over high? And if switch has turned the ball over 974 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: high at the third highest rate of anybody in the 975 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 1: Premier League and they're only holding thirty seven percent of 976 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: the ball, that is incredibly concerning. The other aspect is 977 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 1: how bad they have been defensively. I mean, they just 978 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: conceded four big scoring chances in two point four expectacles 979 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,640 Speaker 1: to Southampton of all teams, Like, what do you think? 980 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,400 Speaker 1: What do you think aston Villa is going to do? 981 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: The only justification that you can make for this price 982 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 1: is that it's a terrible spot for aston Villa because 983 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: they have Bayern Munich coming to their place in the 984 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: Champions League that's the only argument you can make because 985 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: Ipswitch has categorically been the worst team in the Premier 986 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,400 Speaker 1: League and they cannot hang with these good teams. Their 987 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 1: defensive setup there four two four mid block or whatever 988 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,080 Speaker 1: it is, it looks just as bad as West Ham. 989 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 1: Teams just play through the middle all the time against them. 990 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,880 Speaker 1: So what do you think aston Villa is gonna do? 991 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:26,279 Speaker 5: So? 992 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,479 Speaker 1: I think that this price is really short. Aston Villa 993 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 1: this summer made a conscious effort to bring in depth pieces. 994 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,000 Speaker 1: So even if they want to rotate their squad and 995 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: start Ross Barkley and Johann Duran like, there's still gonna 996 00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,880 Speaker 1: be a very good team. So I think this price 997 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,720 Speaker 1: is way too short. I love aston Villa at minus 998 00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:48,479 Speaker 1: one twenty. I think they should be closer to minus 999 00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: one sixty five minus one seventy. 1000 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, Sam anything here and Villa and 1001 00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 3: ipswich more of. 1002 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 4: A lean than anything, Michael. On the weekend, John Duran 1003 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 4: came on and lit a flame out Villa Park. And 1004 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 4: when he come on and they got the first goal, 1005 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 4: the eventual scoreline almost felt inevitable, as did him getting 1006 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,640 Speaker 4: on the score sheet. He hasn't started a game yet 1007 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 4: averaging twenty six minutes per night in the Premier League, 1008 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,359 Speaker 4: and I'm just wondering if they can find a way 1009 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 4: to shoe horn him into the team. But if they can't, 1010 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 4: I feel that's fine. And the reason I bring this 1011 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,000 Speaker 4: up because I feel that the depth in the latter 1012 00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 4: stages of this game, Villa's depth will really hurt it. 1013 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,279 Speaker 4: Swich Wolves couldn't cope. As bj said, I can't see 1014 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,399 Speaker 4: Ipswich coping. I think Villa end up getting the win, 1015 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 4: but Villa will be jaded. It's not a good spot 1016 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 4: for them. They've they're now playing Champions League football. They've 1017 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 4: you know, a lot of minute in the legs. I 1018 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,919 Speaker 4: keep repeating myself almost every game Ipswich arrested. They were 1019 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,200 Speaker 4: very fortunate to get a last minute equalizer at Saint Mary's, 1020 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:57,440 Speaker 4: which Russell Martin will be devastated by. The perfect deflection 1021 00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,960 Speaker 4: kind of curled into the post, did stamp in like 1022 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 4: slow motion. Horrible to concede. Ipswich conceded two point four 1023 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 4: nine x g away in Southampton. So if you're tuning 1024 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 4: into your first piece of Premier League content this season 1025 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 4: on the pod, then let me tell you that is 1026 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 4: not good, but they did stump up one point six 1027 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 4: to nine xt G themselves, so probably should have seen 1028 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 4: a few more goals than the one one we got. 1029 00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 4: I think Aston Villa win. I think there are goals 1030 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,440 Speaker 4: in the game, but I do think Ipswich have enough 1031 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,239 Speaker 4: to score at home against this Villa side. So you 1032 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,799 Speaker 4: can take Aston Villa and both team to score a 1033 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 4: bit of a bigger price of plus one seventy five. 1034 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: Right. 1035 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 3: We'll wrap up the Premier League with Bournemouth and Southampton 1036 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,920 Speaker 3: and South Coast Derby with Bournemuth as minus one fifty 1037 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 3: five favorites at plus three ninety on the road the 1038 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 3: drafts plus three twenty. I do think that Bournemouth should 1039 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,960 Speaker 3: have their way here, maybe be able to name it 1040 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,719 Speaker 3: against Southampton, so I like them as a leg of 1041 00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 3: a parlay with Villa is up just better than two 1042 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,120 Speaker 3: to one. So I do you think those both these 1043 00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,839 Speaker 3: teams take care of business? Pretty matter of factly? This 1044 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,640 Speaker 3: is a Monday night football game, so does feel like 1045 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 3: the Premier League has been skinnt on giving us Monday 1046 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:17,080 Speaker 3: nights and uh yeah, Friday afternoon kicks. 1047 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 2: But here's one for. 1048 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:18,680 Speaker 1: Us much. 1049 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:20,879 Speaker 5: Three of us? 1050 00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:23,360 Speaker 1: Yeah too much? Yeah? It's just too much soccer. 1051 00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 3: I don't disagree, but all three of us are looking 1052 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 3: to just start our work week off with a play 1053 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 3: on on born myth here BJ so you're also on 1054 00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 3: the Cherries. 1055 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean about as good of a match. But 1056 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: as you can ask for if you're if you're born 1057 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:41,879 Speaker 1: with right, they're the best pressing team in the Premier 1058 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: League right now. They're forcing the most high turnovers and 1059 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 1: they have a really low pass per defensive action like 1060 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,839 Speaker 1: and now they're going to face Southampton team that by 1061 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: the way, I mean Southampton, they're controlling like almost sixty 1062 00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:56,879 Speaker 1: percent of the ball. Like their offensive numbers against bad 1063 00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:02,800 Speaker 1: defensive teams have been okay, but again like trying to 1064 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 1: build up through Bournemouth press, I mean, this is just 1065 00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,000 Speaker 1: an absolute recipe for disaster. Now as far as the 1066 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 1: price is concerned, this is pretty high for Bournemouth. For 1067 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,839 Speaker 1: just being honest here right, I would love to get well, 1068 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, I would love to have born with more 1069 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:19,239 Speaker 1: around minus one thirty five minus one thirty ish. So 1070 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 1: I would play smalts on Bournemouth because I think that 1071 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity they have here with how many times I 1072 00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,200 Speaker 1: believe that they're going to turn Southampton over and create 1073 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: those easy transition opportunities. I think that they could win 1074 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 1: this thing by two, three, maybe even four goals. I 1075 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,239 Speaker 1: think this could just get completely out of hand for 1076 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: Southampton because they're they're not going to change under Russell Martin. 1077 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: Like he's still going to have them building out of 1078 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: the back and trying to play short passes, which is 1079 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: i'll say the death sentence when you're facing Bournemouth. I mean, 1080 00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: you just you just watched. I know they didn't have 1081 00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,560 Speaker 1: a good performance against Liverpool. For the match before that, 1082 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 1: Chelsea came to Bournemouth and tried to do that and 1083 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,560 Speaker 1: they weren't able to really do anything, and Bournemouth created 1084 00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,960 Speaker 1: a lot of easy transition opportunities off of it. So 1085 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 1: one miss. Obviously, I've been really good at home ever 1086 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: since Ariola took over as well, so this is a 1087 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,440 Speaker 1: really good spot for Borman. So I like the minus 1088 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: one around plus one twenty. 1089 00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, apologies if I just kind of rinse and repeat 1090 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 4: what bj said word for word and they were inches 1091 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 4: from opening the score in at Amfield, Yeah, from I 1092 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 4: think it was some menu chasing kellerher down, which might 1093 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,359 Speaker 4: give us a bit of an inkling of what we're 1094 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:33,800 Speaker 4: going to see on the weekend. Boemost took nineteen shots 1095 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,279 Speaker 4: at Amfield Mustard over one point zero x g. They 1096 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,279 Speaker 4: deserve to lose, but they gave a really, really good 1097 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 4: account of themselves. They are used to performing well and 1098 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:48,879 Speaker 4: creating chances against Premier League opposition, Southampton or not. They 1099 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 4: did so against Ipswich on the weekend nearly two point 1100 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,000 Speaker 4: five xg. But the jury is out whether Ipswich are 1101 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 4: at a level of a genuine Premier League level opposition. 1102 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 4: This should lay out in front of us on Monday night, 1103 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,319 Speaker 4: but all afternoon if you're in the US, and I'm 1104 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 4: not sure whether Southampton will be able to cope with 1105 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,359 Speaker 4: what Bournemouth will throw at them and forward areas. Their 1106 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 4: press is aggressive, it's targeted, and it makes life hell 1107 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,520 Speaker 4: for even the best Premier League sides. We saw that 1108 00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,600 Speaker 4: at Anfield on occasion which they nearly profited from and 1109 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 4: it's going to sound like we're banging the same drune 1110 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 4: when it comes to Southampton. 1111 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:24,760 Speaker 5: The approach. 1112 00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,640 Speaker 4: We've said it a few times now, but if the 1113 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,000 Speaker 4: aim here is to build from the back, knock the 1114 00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 4: ball around, attempt to find a man in space to 1115 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 4: exploit and then break the press to progress against this 1116 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 4: Bournemouth side. That would really concern me if I was 1117 00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,799 Speaker 4: a Southampton fan, and it should concern Russell Martin. But 1118 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 4: he's not going to change tacts. He hasn't to this point, 1119 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,200 Speaker 4: so so why would he now? And I can see 1120 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 4: the home side here getting as close to their opponent's 1121 00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,040 Speaker 4: goal as possible, running se Menuo, Ivin, Nielsen, Cliver whoever 1122 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,840 Speaker 4: else into the ground with the aim of work in 1123 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,200 Speaker 4: the back line and not allowing a moment piece for Southampton, 1124 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:05,440 Speaker 4: picking pockets and ultimately punishing Southampton. So in front of me, 1125 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:08,960 Speaker 4: I've got booms zero point seventy five Asian handicapped up 1126 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:11,240 Speaker 4: minus one two to two. 1127 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:12,880 Speaker 5: I think that's a pretty good price. 1128 00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:17,920 Speaker 3: Okay, So all three of us on the Cherries in 1129 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,920 Speaker 3: that rivalry matchup, bjay a quick run through Europe and 1130 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,200 Speaker 3: then we'll get into some championship before doing our underdog 1131 00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 3: parlay and our favorite bets for the week. 1132 00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:32,360 Speaker 1: Yep, real quick uh Friday afternoon in the Bundesliga Dortmund Bocum. 1133 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: Both teams score minus one fifty. Dortman's doing some a 1134 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 1: little bit different stuff under Nuri Saheen, they're doing a 1135 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 1: lot of different build up structures. The last few games 1136 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 1: it's kind of been more of a two to two one, 1137 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: which is something you know, we haven't really seen before. 1138 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,879 Speaker 1: And when you do that, as Bruges kind of exploited them, 1139 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: is you can exploit them in wide areas and Bocum 1140 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,560 Speaker 1: they are mainly a transition team that likes to hit 1141 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,239 Speaker 1: teams in wide areas, so they definitely have a path 1142 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 1: to score here and they did score in both meetings 1143 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,960 Speaker 1: against Dortmund last season. Also, there's the big one this weekend, 1144 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: Bayern Munich levercuse an Alli a full ride up in 1145 00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 1: the actionework dot Com in the Action of Work app. 1146 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: So if you want to read that, I'll have a 1147 00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 1: pick that everybody's gonna hate, but you can read that. 1148 00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: On Friday or Saturday. Over to Italy. Bologna John O 1149 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: Bett plus one ten against Adelanta. Adelanta's Manda man press 1150 00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: really isn't doing that well this season. They just kind 1151 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,560 Speaker 1: of got exploited by cess Fabergasts Como Side, who kind 1152 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 1: of plays a similar build up type of structure to 1153 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 1: that of Bologna. So I think Bologna isn't a good 1154 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:32,240 Speaker 1: opportunity here. And also Vincenzo Taliano at Fiorentina last season 1155 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,280 Speaker 1: beat at Alanto three times, so I think it's a 1156 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 1: good spot for Bologna at home and then over to Spain. 1157 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: Girona plus a half at Celta Vigo. Horrible spot for Girona, 1158 00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:47,240 Speaker 1: but this price is crazy. Girona, I know they lost 1159 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,520 Speaker 1: a ton of guys, but they still have a positive 1160 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: expect to gold Defferensier this season, and that's with playing 1161 00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: Athletico and Barcelona and Celta Diego. I know they've gotten better, 1162 00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, come on, we can't be laying can't 1163 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 1: be weighing even money against a team that's better than you. 1164 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,959 Speaker 1: That's just that's not how this game works. So yeah, 1165 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,800 Speaker 1: those are my Those are my three bets across Europe. 1166 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 3: For the weekend, and look out to the Championship. Plymouth 1167 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 3: Argyle yep making their scent and a big one coming 1168 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,520 Speaker 3: up on Friday. Sam, you could spare a couple of 1169 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 3: thoughts on that matchup and give out any bets you 1170 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 3: like in the second division here. 1171 00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:27,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, Plymouthargarla coming. 1172 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,760 Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, Sunderland, A couple of weeks ago to get 1173 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:37,080 Speaker 4: the better of us, and I really thought they would have. 1174 00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 4: But really good performance gone on to West Brom who 1175 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 4: topped the table at the minute another really good performance 1176 00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,520 Speaker 4: lost one noil, so it'll be interesting to see how 1177 00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,720 Speaker 4: Plymouth get on against Lowton on Friday night. Before my 1178 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 4: pick this weekend, I've gone Burnley and minus zero point 1179 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 4: two five Asian handicap minus one one four. So Burnley 1180 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,720 Speaker 4: traveled to Oxford, who have won three out of three 1181 00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:01,320 Speaker 4: home games following promotion to the championship in the summer, 1182 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 4: and their approach to the opening stages right reminds me 1183 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 4: a little bit from a Fargo last year after their promotion, 1184 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 4: packed stadium's genuine excitement, like a real buzz around the stadium, 1185 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:17,720 Speaker 4: and crucially consistent positive results. However, this might just be 1186 00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,640 Speaker 4: too big of a jump in such a short space 1187 00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:23,200 Speaker 4: of time. Yes, Oxford have beaten Derby, still compressed and 1188 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,600 Speaker 4: at home, and the latter pair have operated in the 1189 00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:28,600 Speaker 4: division for a long time now. But there is a 1190 00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,120 Speaker 4: golf here on the weekend when Burnley make the trip south, 1191 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 4: and I think it might tell Burnley actually have outscored 1192 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,720 Speaker 4: the XG by a staggering eight point zero five, notching 1193 00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,080 Speaker 4: thirteen goals from four point nine to five XG. That's 1194 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:46,840 Speaker 4: something which will make Beja physically recoil and something you. 1195 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,680 Speaker 5: Should usually stay clear of. But when you can. 1196 00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 4: Get the security of half stakes returned on the better 1197 00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 4: side here at minus one one four, something I simply 1198 00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:00,240 Speaker 4: couldn't resist. So Burnley on the Asian line. 1199 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 1: I'll just say this, I have a pick. And if 1200 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,920 Speaker 1: you're somebody's frustrated by the modern game, you know, if 1201 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 1: you're tired of watching teams try to build out of 1202 01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 1: the back, and you want to watch some old school football, 1203 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 1: tune in to Millwall and Preston. Am I right, Sam? 1204 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 5: Yes? 1205 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,120 Speaker 1: On Saturday. So it's going to be three five two 1206 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 1: versus four four to two. It's gonna be who can 1207 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,080 Speaker 1: be better on set pieces? And I think Millwall is 1208 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 1: a little overpriced here. For being honest, I know Preston 1209 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been that good to begin the season. Mill Wall's had, 1210 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 1: you know, some good underlying numbers and everything, but this 1211 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 1: one has nil nil or one one written all over 1212 01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 1: and that one one was actually the exact score in 1213 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 1: both meetings last season. So if you want to take 1214 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 1: some exact score nil nil, exact score one to one. 1215 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,439 Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad option here, because both 1216 01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: teams are gonna sit in and it's who can just 1217 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,360 Speaker 1: counterattack better. I'm not sure either of them are really 1218 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,720 Speaker 1: better than the other. So Preston plus a half for 1219 01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:54,200 Speaker 1: me is the actual bet. Maybe some exact scores nil 1220 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 1: nil and one to one. 1221 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:58,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a sense like a beautiful way to 1222 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 3: spend a couple of hours. We all miss it. We 1223 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,720 Speaker 3: all miss it, we do, and. 1224 01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: If ever fire's dice, we're gonna lose it. So we 1225 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:08,960 Speaker 1: can't let that. 1226 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 2: Hit one. 1227 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 3: Now, we can't take the romance out of the game 1228 01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:17,320 Speaker 3: at least one team. Okay, that brings us to our 1229 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,440 Speaker 3: underdog parlay. Just the sixty seven to one. Uh, this 1230 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,800 Speaker 3: one will spit out at beach A. You can go first. 1231 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,560 Speaker 1: Newcastle plus four twenty five kicking kick this thing off 1232 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: seven thirty a m. Eastern time on Saturday. Pretty good 1233 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 1: spot here for Newcastle. They have the ability to hit 1234 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,920 Speaker 1: City where they're vulnerable. You know a lot of times 1235 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,280 Speaker 1: when City is trying to build up and they're trying 1236 01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: to overload teams in the central parts of the pitch, 1237 01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: they leave themselves vulnerable in transition, and that happened last 1238 01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:46,240 Speaker 1: season in Saint James Park where e Shach and Gordon 1239 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,560 Speaker 1: got into too B two situations and they scored two 1240 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,760 Speaker 1: goals off of it. Newcastle's been playing out of a 1241 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 1: four or five to one. They've been much better at 1242 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,440 Speaker 1: being compact in that type of structure and not allowing 1243 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: space in between the lines. So I think Newcastle definitely 1244 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: has a path here to win. At home where they 1245 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: have been so good since the beginning of the twenty 1246 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three season. They have a plus 1247 01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,080 Speaker 1: one point two expect the gold differential per ninety minutes, 1248 01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: So I like Newcastle at Saint James's Park and plus 1249 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:11,520 Speaker 1: four twenty five. 1250 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Brighton. 1251 01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,120 Speaker 3: I do think it's a pretty tough week to find 1252 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,520 Speaker 3: underdogs in the Premier League. This has definitely been the 1253 01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 3: toughest of the bunch. I think, in actually going back 1254 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:25,720 Speaker 3: to last year too, I can't really remember a slate 1255 01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:29,880 Speaker 3: where the underdogs just as unappealing as this. I would 1256 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,480 Speaker 3: have went Newcastle if BJ left it. I think Brighton 1257 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,640 Speaker 3: would be my second choice. I wouldn't have been able 1258 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 3: to have a third choice and this Brighton one is 1259 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 3: even pushing it a bit, but we are looking to 1260 01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:43,120 Speaker 3: always have do our best to get this section onto 1261 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 3: the show. I do think Brighton are within a shot. 1262 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 3: They are live against Chelsea. Maybe the market's a little 1263 01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:51,120 Speaker 3: too high on the Blues after it looks like they've 1264 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 3: kind of course corrected, but we've seen this, We've seen 1265 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,920 Speaker 3: this act from Chelsea before. They do have a habit 1266 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 3: of kind of lulling us in and then pulling the 1267 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,840 Speaker 3: rug out from under us. And I think this Brighton 1268 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 3: team it's dangerous against anybody in the Premier League. So 1269 01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,840 Speaker 3: they are talented, they're well coached, exciting group. They can 1270 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,440 Speaker 3: beat anybody on any giving weekend. So I'll back the 1271 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 3: Seagulls on the road against Chelsea at plus three thirty. 1272 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:21,280 Speaker 4: Sam, Yeah, tough week for an underdog. I just can't 1273 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,200 Speaker 4: shake that west Ham performance at the weekend against Chelsea 1274 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,800 Speaker 4: from my mind, Like it was so poor. Each go 1275 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,919 Speaker 4: conceded was as poor as the last two or three 1276 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,520 Speaker 4: passes was enough to evade west Ham's press and spring 1277 01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,240 Speaker 4: a counter and Chelsea were through and go. And I 1278 01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,440 Speaker 4: couldn't really believe how easy it was for Chelsea in 1279 01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 4: all honesty, and they cannot. West Ham cannot forced to 1280 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:42,240 Speaker 4: turn up like that again. 1281 01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:42,560 Speaker 5: Here. 1282 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,360 Speaker 4: Brentford a handy in transition in terms of counterattacking and 1283 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,640 Speaker 4: turning the ball over quickly and progressing through the thirds. 1284 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,120 Speaker 4: It's not too outlandish to say that the home side 1285 01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,520 Speaker 4: will likely work some joy against the west Ham side 1286 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 4: that look some way from sparking into life under Lopotagon. 1287 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 4: They've also gotten week e FL Cup title to navigate 1288 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,720 Speaker 4: at anfield first, which is not ideal preparation. So gone 1289 01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:07,960 Speaker 4: for Brentford winning over two point five goals at plus 1290 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 4: two hundred. 1291 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,280 Speaker 3: So with that seeming in parlay wrapped in with us, 1292 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,560 Speaker 3: it's like I said sixty seven to wine ant to 1293 01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 3: the best bets. Now, Sam, you can go first? 1294 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 4: Yes, so I've got Can I use handicaps here? 1295 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely nice? 1296 01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 4: Okay, So I've gone for Bournemouth and Bournemouth minus zero 1297 01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 4: point seventy five Asian handicap. 1298 01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1299 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:34,520 Speaker 4: Concern for Southampton This Bournemouth side will harass and Harry, 1300 01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,000 Speaker 4: especially at home, and if Southampton are not careful, they'll 1301 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:41,560 Speaker 4: get their pockets pinched via a high targeted press near 1302 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,240 Speaker 4: their own eighteen yard box. Russell Martin will likely instructive 1303 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:48,000 Speaker 4: Southampton side to get their foot on the ball, work 1304 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 4: out from the back and attempt to beat any oncoming 1305 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 4: press as they've always done under current management. 1306 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:56,760 Speaker 5: That might be easier said than done. 1307 01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 4: Against Bournemouth, I see Iiola getting one up Russell Martin 1308 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 4: on Monday Night, potentially through a forced defensive era or two. 1309 01:05:04,840 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 4: So for me, Bulma are the best Premier League beat 1310 01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:08,800 Speaker 4: of the weekend. 1311 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:11,960 Speaker 3: I think I like Brentford plus one twenty. I do 1312 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 3: think that they shouldn't have too much of an issue 1313 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,720 Speaker 3: with Sam just noted I guess a west Ham defense. 1314 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 3: I like the money line. I think you can absolutely 1315 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:20,880 Speaker 3: play them Alts here too if you want to chase 1316 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,360 Speaker 3: some big prices to have some fun. But I think 1317 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:28,080 Speaker 3: that they have an absolute chance to run rampant against 1318 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,320 Speaker 3: this west Ham d that none of us are believing 1319 01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 3: has improved around the corner, all right, bj last one 1320 01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 3: for the show. 1321 01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Aston Villa minus one twenty on the road against Ipswich 1322 01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: offensively has been terrible and the reason for that is 1323 01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: because they're still trying to build on the back. Despite 1324 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,200 Speaker 1: only holding thirty seven percent of the possession so far, 1325 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,240 Speaker 1: they are only averaging six box entries per ninety minutes. 1326 01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 1: For context, last season Sheffield United it was category wally 1327 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,080 Speaker 1: the worst team in the Premier League averaged eight and 1328 01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 1: a half. So if things continue, Ipswich is going to 1329 01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 1: go down as one of the worst offensive teams we've 1330 01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: ever seen. Also, they've only created three point two expected 1331 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: goals and half of that came against Southampton last weekend, 1332 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,800 Speaker 1: so this is not really that good to the good 1333 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,120 Speaker 1: of a matchup for them and their defense. Whether they're 1334 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: playing out of their mid block, they're allowing teams to 1335 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:18,080 Speaker 1: just play through them whenever they want. Aston Villa is 1336 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,040 Speaker 1: a really good build up team and a team this 1337 01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: summer that made a conscious effort to get a lot 1338 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,600 Speaker 1: of depth into their squads. So even though this is 1339 01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 1: a bad spot because they have Bayern Munich on deck 1340 01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 1: in the Champions League, I think the price is way 1341 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,160 Speaker 1: way too low here for against Ipswich, who I think 1342 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 1: is the worst team in the Premier League right now. 1343 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,760 Speaker 3: Okay, now that does it for another episode of Wondergulf. 1344 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 3: Thank you again for listening, rating, for viewing, subscribing.
