I think at first glance, 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: I thought that when we went into the international break, 45 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I thought this weekend of Premier League I said, doesn't 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: really look that great from a betting perspective. And then 47 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: when I really dug into it this week, I completely 48 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: shifted that. I think it's a great, great weekend to 49 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: bet some footy here, not just Australian footy either, but 50 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: some good old fashioned soccer in the Premier League around Europe. 51 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: I will start with our headliner, that's Everton. It's a 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: little podcast rby SAT Sunday morning, eleven thirty am. The 53 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: topies are plus four seventy five at home Arsenals traveling 54 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: as a minus one eighty eight road favorite. That draw 55 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: is plus three fifty Anthony. I want to start with 56 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: you because your first ever bet on Everton. 57 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: I believe this is my second bet on Everton. Ever 58 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: I'm only one lifetime. I don't count any bet that 59 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: happened before this season, so therefore you know I did 60 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: bet them against Villa and lost in pretty routine fashion. 61 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: You know it was not really much of a sweat, 62 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: but yeah, look I have you know we've we've had 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: this conversation about Everton and what they are at this 64 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: point in the season, and the numbers are actually pretty 65 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: encouraging for Everton. Who do you think has created more 66 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: expected goals and chances this season, Michael Everton or Arsenal's. 67 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: Everdon And we've we've done it against a Murderers road too, 68 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: They've created a Murderers chances. 69 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: Let you have conceded. 70 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: Well, you know, the defense. The defense isn't as bad 71 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: as as as I thought it was when we first, 72 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: like when I was digging through the numbers. 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: Once again, and they did it against the Murderers Rael. No, 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: Sheffield loves Sheffield, full of Fulham. Yeah, not like Arsenal's. 75 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 2: Played exactly the most difficult schedule in the world. But yeah, 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: you know, Everton has shown real life and attack and 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: I think they There's the chance that Jack Harrison makes 78 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: his debut this weekend for Everton, which would I think 79 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: be a significant boost, because, believe it or not, Everton 80 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: has one player who has consistently overperformed his XG from 81 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: a finishing perspective throughout his career, and his name is 82 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: Jack Harrison. Twenty one of goals from fifteen expected and 83 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 2: he's beaten the numbers every year. It leads a Leeds 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 2: team that perennially underperformed their numbers and got them relegated. 85 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: Also might have dcl wearing a face mask, which which 86 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: would be very intimidating for the Arsenal back line. 87 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: Adjust your number. Any times a. 88 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: Striker and Hauld play at least a half here does 89 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: help Everton. I mean he's the main target on crosses 90 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: and when he's been on the pitch, you know, it 91 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: hasn't been very often, but when he's been on the 92 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 2: pitch he's been a good striker and getting about a 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: half expected goal per ninety So calverd Lewin and Harrison 94 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: you know, helped maybe improve this finishing because I mean 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: it looks like a time if they're trying not to 96 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: score when they play, and I know Michael's bet them 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: every week. And I've tried to pick my spots a 98 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: little bit with this team because I really don't trust them. 99 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: But at home off of a break against an Arsenal 100 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: team that I think is overvalued is a perfect spot 101 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: for me. Look, Arsenal has not done a great job 102 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: of creating high quality chances. They had just three shots 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: with an expected goals a point one or higher against 104 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: United until the Jayzus breakaway, which dramatically inflated their numbers. 105 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,119 Speaker 2: If you look at you know, their you know game 106 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: state when it was zero zero or one to one 107 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 2: prior to going up to one and then the game 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: got haywire late, they weren't not all that much better 109 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 2: than Man United at home, and of course they were 110 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: good and build up and they weren't you know, necessarily 111 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: giving up possession. But United was also very comfortable defensively 112 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: for large stretches of that match where they didn't look 113 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: like they were about to get broken down. It was 114 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: not like last year's fixture, for example, when United was 115 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: kind of defending for their lives the entirety of the match. 116 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: So I think there's some real question marks about what 117 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 2: Arsenal's attack is right now. And I think you're seeing 118 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: that this is a team last year that got really 119 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: good finishing numbers from their big three Socca, martin Elli 120 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: and Odegard and if those guys we regressed from a 121 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: finishing perspective, the underlying quality just isn't quite there to 122 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: overwhelm these teams. So for them to be you know 123 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: over minus one on the road minus two hundred money 124 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: lined on the road against Everton. I think it's a 125 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: little bit high. And so I'm gonna bet the Toffees 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: catching the goal at home. 127 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even need to say it, but I'll 128 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: be sprinkling the the money line here. I just I 129 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: think everyting can get on the board. It's at home. 130 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: Arsenal's got the Champions League to kind of worry about. 131 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: It's a Sunday cake off too, so you know, just 132 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: a few days they played PSV first, right, so it's 133 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a late Yeah, played. 134 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: Everybody else on Saturday. When we get Sunday, yeah, lovely. 135 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: It's a it's a little bit of a tricky spot, 136 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: I think coming back from an international break. And even 137 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: if Calvert Lewin doesn't play, Uh, Beto looked great mm 138 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: hmm against Sheffield United. So uh, they're just they're dangerous. 139 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: But you just you just never know what team Everden's 140 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: going to play for, if that makes sense. Are they 141 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: going to play for evidence or are they going to 142 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: try to play against themselves. It's it's maddening to watch. Uh, 143 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: don't trust, don't trust them as far as I can 144 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: throw them. But at these numbers it's fine. And the 145 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: one thing that does give me some pause here is 146 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: is we've kind of joked about it, but the schedule 147 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: they face has been Cheeks, uh Wolves and Sheffield United 148 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: and Fulham and the one team that they they played 149 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: that has like any sort of top six aspirations sen 150 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Villa like, so the only team that they played where 151 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: the other team's going to try to dominate the game 152 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: and be on the front foot, they just couldn't even cope, 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: which is a little frightening. So I get to I 154 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: get if people would be a little nervous to back 155 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: to Toffees here, but that's why the number is good. 156 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, those are kind of the bets 157 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: that often, more often than not, are going to lead 158 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: to value here. So uh, I'll be on the I'll 159 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: be on the money line, uh BJ And you're also 160 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: backing some chaos here. 161 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: I am, and I like both teams of score I 162 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 3: minus one thirty five. The thing with Everton, and if 163 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: you want, I mean obviously Michael, you've watched every single 164 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 3: Everton match, is the way they create their chances, which 165 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: is not a surprise. Under Sean deitsch is via crosses. 166 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: They have attempted ninety five crosses so far this Premier 167 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: League season, that is second most behind only Chelsea and 168 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 3: like Anthony mentioned, sixth and non penalty expected goals. So 169 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 3: they have created a lot of chances. And where I 170 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: think they can be effective with our against Arsenal is 171 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: via cross is and winning those aerial duels. Because as 172 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: of right now we're taping this, Gabrielle is questionable play 173 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: and him being out is massive in a match like 174 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: this because he is Arsenal's main aerial threat, both defensively 175 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 3: and offensively on set pieces. Last season he had one 176 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: hundred aerial dual wins and a fifty four percent a 177 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: dual win percentage. The next closest for Arsenal was Saliba 178 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: with fifty four aerial duels one So he is massive 179 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: when you have to face a team like Everton who's 180 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: going to cross the ball that many times and put 181 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: a big time value on scoring off with set pieces. 182 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 3: But here's the one pause that if I were somebody 183 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: who wanted to back Everton is Yes, if you look 184 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: into Everton's high pressing numbers, they are really really good. 185 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: I believe they're third so far in the Premier League, 186 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: but their thirteenth and passes per defensive action and fourteenth 187 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 3: and build up completion percentage allowed, So that tells me 188 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 3: that yes they have forced some high turnovers, but more 189 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 3: often than not teams are beating that first line of 190 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: the press and then there's just acres of space to operate, 191 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: which since they've had hadn't really played a murder's role. Well, 192 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 3: it's the best team they've played Villa, who is a 193 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 3: build up team just like Arsenal, and they ripped him apart. 194 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: So and even if you go back to last season, 195 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 3: Everton did beat Arsenal in this matchup at Goodison Park 196 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: and it was if you remember it was shot nically 197 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 3: first match in charge, Everton came out and what we 198 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: thought they were going to be was Sean dychis Burnley, 199 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 3: which is four four to two mid block and kind 200 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 3: of sit back, but no, he came out and pressed 201 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: Arsenal and threw Arsenal for loop and they won the 202 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: match because of it. But then what happened less than 203 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 3: a month later at the Emirates. Arsenal knew that was 204 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 3: going to happen and they absolutely ripped them apart and 205 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: beat them for nothing. So that's the other end of 206 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: the spectrum on this. So for me, if Gabrielle is out, 207 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: it's I think it's going to be a massive loss 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: for Arsenal defensively, and that gives Everton a good shot 209 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: to score here. Obviously they are due for some positive 210 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: aggression because of how many chances they've created and only 211 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: scored twice. So I projected both team to score at 212 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: minus one sixty five. So minus one thirty five is 213 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: too good of a price for me to pass up. 214 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: Great, it should be fun Sunday at eleven thirty Saturday morning, 215 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: now Wolves and Liverpool Wolverhampton seven to one at home 216 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: at Liverpool traveling at minus two fifty in the dress 217 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: plus three seventy five. I'm passing here. What I know, 218 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: it's landing that this isn't Michael Leaboff specially Yeah, I 219 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: know it's it's tempting, but there's you'll see as we 220 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: get through this show, like there's just too many other 221 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: cans and I can't just like it'd be like a 222 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: ten team money line underdog round robin for me this 223 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: week if I really wanted to get into it. But 224 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: I'll be passing, what do you got BJ, I like. 225 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: Over three and a half at plus one twenty or 226 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: excuse me, plus one thirty. Given what we've seen from 227 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: Wolves so far this season, they're kind of playing the 228 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 3: same way that they played under low Pata and Bruno Lage, 229 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: but it's with a lot more intensity and a lot 230 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: more purpose going forward. They're not just putting a value 231 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 3: on defensive possession, playing slow build up. They're actually trying 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: once they beat the first tune of the press to 233 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: get things going in quick transitions, which is kind of 234 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: what you saw with Gary O'Neill at Bourne. Meuth and speaking. 235 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 3: Wolves have completed the most crosses of anybody in the 236 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 3: Premier League into the opponent's penalty area. So that's going 237 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 3: back to the Julian lopetagy in Bruno Lodge days, except 238 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 3: you know, Wolves they're interesting because yes, they've the only 239 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: match they've wanted to get is against Everton. But I 240 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: really don't think they've played that bad this season, and 241 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: I don't think they're bad overall, and I think Gary 242 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 3: Olnwlaw has done a fantastic job actually instilling belief into 243 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: a squad coming into the season. Looked deater than dead 244 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: in turn and goes headed for relegation. But so far, 245 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 3: with the collection of players that they have, they have 246 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: played very very well. They've created a ton of chances, 247 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: but defensively they've been very very bad. So now they're 248 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: obviously taking on a Liverpool team that if they want 249 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: to try to build out of the back, which you 250 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: saw both against Crystal Palace against Brighton, doesn't really work 251 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: when you face good, high pressing teams and they will 252 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: just turn you over repeatedly and get great chances on net. 253 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: And I believe that's what's going to happen here for Liverpool. 254 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 3: You know, even though aston Villa didn't create a ton 255 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: against Liverpool, they had moments going for forward. Liverpool, I 256 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 3: don't think it still has a true number six ball 257 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: stopper in the middle of the pitch, and Liverpool is 258 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 3: dealing with a lot of injuries along their back line. 259 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 3: Coulnante is questionable, Van Dyke's going to be out, Alexander 260 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: Arnold it looks like, is doubtful for this match as well, 261 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: So now it's going to be the mattive Joe Gomez 262 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: back line, which you know is a downgrade for Liverpool. 263 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 3: So Wolves has created a time chances so far this season, 264 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: so I think that they will have moments in this 265 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: match to potentially get in on Liverpool's net. I mean, 266 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: Allison is once again having just an unreal shot stopping season. 267 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 3: Just seems like he'll never ever regress. But I think 268 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: this has the potential, especially you know with Wolves when 269 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: they fall behind, things tend to get a little chaotic 270 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: with them. So over three and a half projected right 271 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: on about three and a half goals, So over three 272 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: and a half plus one thirty is a good enough. 273 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: Price for me. I guess, not recency buyas, but just 274 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: like certain things, embedding to stick in your mind and 275 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: for some reason, anytime I try to think about Wolves 276 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: in Liverpool, the game from two seasons ago comes like 277 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: the last match day of the season where early yeah, oh, 278 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: it just always comes to my mind and I just 279 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: expect every Liverpool Wolves match to be like that. And Anthony, 280 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: you're kind of thinking that here. 281 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, you know, it's not that long ago 282 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 2: that match was. And remember we were getting like Wolves 283 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 2: team total for the match at like plus one to 284 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: ten and that was the top of the Liverpool defensive 285 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 2: mountain and they've they've kind of slid down the mountain 286 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: ever since. And look, they're the numbers are a little 287 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: skewed because they've played a couple of games now down 288 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: a man for large stretches, the Newcastle game and the 289 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: Bournemouth game, so it does certainly skew the numbers. But 290 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: what we have so far on this Liverpool team is 291 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: actually worse defensively than last year. Not from an expected 292 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: goals perspective, because they've been very good in defending their 293 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: penalty area. They've only conceded a couple of big scoring chances, 294 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 2: so they've been better with that, but the rest of 295 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: the profile it starts in the midfield is actually worse. 296 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: Box entries allowed, final entry, third entries allowed. When we 297 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: look at you know, progressive passes allowed, ability to turn 298 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: teams over high, all of those numbers are worse than 299 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: last season. So you know, the fact they haven't conceded 300 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 2: a ton of chances and a ton of goals yet 301 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: it is fine and all and well for them, but 302 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: I think there's real regression here for this defense. I 303 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: don't think they're as good as they've played at various 304 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: parts of the last four games. And you mentioned it. 305 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: Bj van Dyck is gonna get suspended here, so he's 306 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: definitely out and Kanante may also be out. 307 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: Now. 308 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 2: It didn't matter against Villa. Villa put in a really 309 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: poor performance, wasn't able to you know, really pressure this 310 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: Liverpool defense particularly often. They had one big chance that 311 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 2: was about it. But you mentioned it with Wolves last 312 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: year they were bottom five and high turnovers forced. They 313 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: were not a team that wanted to press you and 314 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 2: get in transition. They wanted to slow the match down, 315 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: play out long possessions. This Wolves team is very different. 316 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: Their top five in high turnovers forced and so this 317 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: is a team that's you know, going to get up 318 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 2: into a little bit, turn you over and then run 319 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 2: and they have the talent to do it. And look, 320 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: their attacking numbers have been okay, they haven't been great, 321 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: you know, they're they're kind of buoyed with their expected 322 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: goals numbers by a lot of big scoring chances created. 323 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: Went down a bunch of goals already, you know, the 324 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: United match and the Brighton match come to mind. But 325 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: the underlying profile isn't all that bad. And they have 326 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: been pretty effective at getting the ball into the opponent's Penaltaria. 327 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: They don't have the great quality in the area, which 328 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: has always been their problem. They don't finish chances, they 329 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: don't create a lot of big ones, generally because of 330 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: the lack of true talent. But again against his Liverpool defense, 331 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: it's gonna take risks. I think there's gonna be an opening. 332 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: So I like Wolves team total over in the first 333 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: half plus one sixty. I think they can come out 334 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 2: and surprise them early. We've seen Liverpool get surprised early 335 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: and just about every game this season except for Villa, 336 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: so you know, I think they're vulnerable and I'm gonna 337 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 2: take Wolves to score in the first half. 338 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: It's funny Liverpool in their salad days puts such an 339 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: emphasis on those first like ten twelve minutes, like coming 340 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: out and storming teams, and that's kind of been the 341 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: opposite this season. Speaking of Villa, they are odds on 342 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: at home against Pallas minus won ten. The Eagles come 343 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: in three to one and the Dras plus two sixty. 344 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: I like Palace here. This defense has just been really 345 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: good and Roy Hodgson like it's it's kind of to 346 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: make fun of make fun of him, but he's just 347 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: got this team playing great defense, and even under Vieira 348 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: like this, this generation of Crystal Palace, it just has 349 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: been good defensively for the better part of three four 350 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: seasons now and that makes them live. I think at 351 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: spots like this. 352 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 353 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: I think three to one on the road is fine 354 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: against a team like Villa that AFST ninth best team 355 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: in the Premier League right now. I think Palace is 356 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: twelfth or thirteenth, like, it's not that wide of a gap, Anthony, 357 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, if you're coming with me here, yeah. 358 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: I'm not. You know, Palace could win against Wolves at 359 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: home last week or two weeks ago. You saw the defense, 360 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: and it is refreshing because so much of this league 361 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: right now is tilting that that scale, that balance toward 362 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: you know, the overs and towards the openness. And you 363 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: look at the way Spurs and Liverpool and Brighton especially 364 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: even more of a Villa, you know, taking more chances 365 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: in possession, sending more numbers forward, playing more progressive style. 366 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: And then there's Palace who said, you know what, we 367 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 2: have actually conceded over one expected goal in three of 368 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 2: our four matches, and yet we are a top five 369 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 2: defense of this league despite that, which is just kind 370 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 2: of tells you how much this league has tilted toward 371 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: goals in the last you know, I would say eight 372 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 2: to ten months. It's it's been a real revelation. So, 373 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: you know, from a matchup perspective, I think that this 374 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: suits Palace to be, you know, defensive, and in transition, 375 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 2: Villa has done a really good job of creating a 376 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: specific high number of chances without really great shot volume. 377 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: I kind of think that the shot volume numbers will 378 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: win the day there and they're just not going to 379 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: be as good of an attack as they've been thus far, 380 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 2: and I think the Liverpool match kind of suggested that. 381 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: But also the teams that have given Villa trouble have 382 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 2: been the teams that are able to get time and 383 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: space on the ball in the midfield and pick out 384 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 2: a pass and like Palace doesn't really have that. They 385 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: don't have the Trent, they don't have you know, the 386 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 2: voted type player. So I think that's you know, one 387 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 2: of the main kind of differences with Villa, Whereas you know, 388 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 2: Palace will struggle here and the numbers about right for me, 389 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 2: like I have Villa slightly better. They're at home so 390 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 2: if it got to you know, three quarters or a goal, 391 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 2: and certainly I'm all over Palace. But at the current number, 392 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 2: it's a past. 393 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: All right, BJ This one is gonna be a lot 394 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: of fun here, Yeah, a lot of fun. Yeah. Fulham 395 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: is minus one fifty at home against the newly promoted 396 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: hatters Loutontown plus four to fifty. That draws plus two 397 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: seventy five. I know Fols played a relatively tough schedule. 398 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: The Everden match to open the season, of course, was 399 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: a disastrous win for them. They still trying to figure 400 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: that one out how they won that match, and then 401 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: it was a Brentford Arsenal City, so the numbers are 402 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: going to be a little bit skewed. But they also 403 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: were terrible defensively last year and now they're just getting 404 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: punished for it more often than not. So like if 405 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna bet Lutontown at some point and we're going 406 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: to this feels it. So I'm in plus four to fifty. 407 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: This is my first bet on. 408 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 3: Them, Yeah, plus one minus one thirty four for me, 409 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 3: you know, Michael, as crazy as I didn't think Fulham 410 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 3: was that bad as the final scoreline suggests against City 411 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 3: they only allowed City six shots in the entire match. 412 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 3: I can't remember the last time City was held in 413 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: ten shots at home, but all of them were just 414 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 3: of incredibly high value. So Fulham did do a decent job. 415 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 3: But the situation here is going to drastically change where 416 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 3: they're going to be have to be the ones that 417 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 3: are controlling possession, playing through pressure, and that is not 418 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: something that I think they are capable of this at 419 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: this time. They do keep Paulinia because the deal fell 420 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 3: through with Bayern Munich. That's obviously a plus for them. 421 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: But the problems that have existed for Fulham defensively is 422 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: they've really struggled to defend in wide areas. They've done 423 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: a good job of clogging up the middle of the 424 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: pitch closing it down there, but so far this season 425 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 3: they've allowed eighty two crosses and seven of them to 426 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: be cleared in their penalty area Lowtontown. If you look 427 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: at their profile, it's a lot of bad they To 428 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: be fair to them though, they have played Brighton on 429 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: the road, Chelsea on the road and then what a 430 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: really informed west Ham team at home, which I didn't 431 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 3: think they were that bad in that match. You know, 432 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: if you look at the expected goals, it was pretty even. 433 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 3: West Ham did obviously create the two big chances, there 434 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: were large stretches where Lutontown was applying great pressure to 435 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 3: west Ham and in the end, you know, again the 436 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 3: expected goals bared out that it really wasn't that dominant 437 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: of a west Ham win. So now we get here. 438 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: The one thing that Luton Town has done well this 439 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 3: season is they have completed the fourth most crosses of 440 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: anybody in the Premier League. That's actually encouraging here when 441 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: you're gonna face a Fullham team that it struggles to 442 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: defend those crosses. So we have one thing we haven't 443 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: really seen with Luton though that I'm I'm kind of 444 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 3: sad by. But then again, you look at what Burnley's doing, 445 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: it's like it clearly wouldn't have worked. Is they're not 446 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: coming out with their high pressing like crazy style that 447 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 3: they did in the championship. I think Rob Edwards is 448 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 3: kind of think he just knows that if he does that, 449 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 3: they're gonna getripped apart. So he's trying to blend the 450 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: two styles together and he's kind of struggling. But again, 451 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 3: they've played difficult competition. So now they get to play 452 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 3: somebody down near their level and full of minus one fifty. 453 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 3: I mean, on what earth should they be minus one 454 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 3: fifty against anybody in this Premier League right now? So 455 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: loot and toown plus one minus one thirty four. Yeah, 456 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 3: I the price is just insane and full. They should 457 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 3: never ever be above minus one fifteen against anybody in 458 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 3: this league. 459 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: That's it. 460 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 2: I gotta think about it some more. 461 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: You can you can do that town. 462 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: I said that I was not going to bet them 463 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 2: more than five times all season. This this is the 464 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: closest I've come yet. 465 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: What if they become Brentford though. 466 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 2: They're they're not becoming brent There's nothing in their profile 467 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 2: that says that's happening. They don't have the talent, they 468 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 2: don't have the coach, and they have nothing. 469 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: They are terrible. 470 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 2: But they did play well against west Ham. If you 471 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 2: got a west game in that game, you should send 472 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: me the Lotto tickets because that was very lucky cash. 473 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: Ye all right, Well, be sure to follow Anthony in 474 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: the award winning Action Network app. I don't think I'm 475 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: going to do it to see when, No, you'll do it. 476 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: Maybe We'll get some fulham steam on match day and 477 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 2: then I. 478 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: Have a slice of pizza on Friday night.

How can you trust United to stop this 491 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: Brighton defense Brighton attack enough to like not be tempted 492 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: by this number or or actually, let me put it 493 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: the other way, how do you trust this United defense 494 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: enough to bet United's what's the Devil's Advocate case here, Anthony? 495 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 2: The case to bet United? 496 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really hard to I can't come up. 497 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think there's a clear what caase 498 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: And it's like, oh yeah, Eric ten Hoggs said, we 499 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: want to become the best counter attacking team in the 500 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: world right and from a personnel perspective they could become 501 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: a very good attacking team and transition and countertacks. But 502 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: when you're playing Brighton at home and your team name 503 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: is Manchester United, there's a certain way of playing, there's 504 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: a certain expectation of how you're going to approach the match. 505 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: And I don't know if Tenahag can really walk into 506 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,479 Speaker 2: a home match against Brighton and say, yes, we are 507 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: going to let Brighton have sixty plus per Brighton and 508 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 2: Hove Albion have sixty plus percent of the ball and 509 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: we're going to try to beat them in transition by 510 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: defending it with out of possession, given our injury situation 511 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: and given our kind of uncertain tactics thus far, because 512 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: they have gotten caught, I think between two minds in 513 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: the sense that they want to create more high turnovers 514 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 2: and be better out of possession, and against a team 515 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: like Brighton, who you know, has the most extreme defensive 516 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: profile in the league thus far in terms of creat 517 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: conceding a bunch of high quality chances and then not 518 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: much else, Like you could see the path where like 519 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: they're going to have problems defending in space against the 520 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: United attackers. But this is now United without Anthony. I'm 521 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 2: fascinated to see who is start arts in his place. 522 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: And I think that, you know, even if Hoyland is 523 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: in there, which I expect him to start now, there 524 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 2: is a certain kind of gelling period that comes along 525 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 2: with that. So you have to think Man United is 526 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: better than Brighton on a neutral field. And look, the 527 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 2: market thinks that. The market thought that coming into the season. 528 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: None of us agree with that. I still don't think 529 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: that's true. So naturally we're all going to be on 530 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 2: the seagulls as a nice dog here. The market has 531 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 2: come down a little bit, so, you know, Man United 532 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 2: has taken a little bit of money Brighton. You know, 533 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 2: United was about minus one oh five on the look Ahead, 534 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: then they drifted all the way to plus one thirty. 535 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 2: Now they've come back to about plus one fifteen ish, 536 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 2: So there has been some buyback on United at home here. 537 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: I think that's you know, some injury news. Maybe maybe 538 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: not having Anthony's deposit, but they, you know, are going 539 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: to have problems stopping Brighton because everybody does. I mean, 540 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 2: Evan Ferguson is a superstar and now he's playing you know, 541 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: in starting matches, So lookout league, have fun. 542 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, we love our selves. 543 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 2: A Fati maybe makes his debut here, Yeah, I mean 544 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: another shot monster, great attacking midfielder, you know. 545 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, b J, I mean this is this one was 546 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: made for you too. 547 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I love Brighton, but I also love over 548 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 3: three and a half at plus one twenty. So Anthony 549 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 3: made a great point where Manchester United is stuck in 550 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 3: between two different tactics where they perched Sonana because Deha 551 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 3: couldn't couldn't use his feet and they couldn't build out 552 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 3: of the back, so they bought Onana so they could 553 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: start to build out of the back. But then ten 554 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: Hog comes out and obviously, like Anthony said, they want 555 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: to become the best transitional team in the world. What 556 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: has happened time and time again with United is when 557 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: they face teams that will man mark high press them. 558 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 3: So teams like Arsenal, teams like Newcastle, teams like Brighton, 559 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: they have struggled so so bad because guys like Casamiro 560 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 3: are not guys who are going to have their back 561 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 3: to the defense, receive the ball and be pressed resistant 562 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: and build out of the back that way. So far, 563 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: the season, Casimiro has turned the ball over twenty times 564 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 3: in United's own final third. That is really really bad. 565 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: And Brighton although Anthony's like Anthony mentioned, they are very 566 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: bad defensively to start things like that, they've been really 567 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 3: really bad. They've conceded, so they've eight con seeded eight 568 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 3: big scoring chances in four matches and it hasn't really 569 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 3: been a murder's row. They are a pressing monster under 570 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 3: deserve me so far second and pass per defensive action, 571 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 3: number one in high turnovers, number one in shots off 572 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 3: of those high turnovers. So they're obviously a team that 573 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 3: can just rip you apart if you turn it over 574 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 3: in your own final third. And the problems that are 575 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 3: gonna exist here with United is like I agree with 576 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 3: the Anthony like, it's tend of really gonna come out 577 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: here and say we're gonna pull off what David Moyes 578 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 3: did with west Ham, like when they went to Brighton. 579 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna sit deep. We're not even gonna press them, 580 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: We're just gonna sit in our own defensive block and 581 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 3: try to see this game out and then look to counter. 582 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 3: I do not see them even attempting to do that, 583 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: and United could be without three of their usual starters 584 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 3: across their back line. Yeah, right now if Veran is out, 585 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: Shaw is out, Malasea is out. So there it goes. 586 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 3: You're one and two depth at left back. So they've 587 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 3: been playing Dallo out of position at left back and 588 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 3: los Angele Martinez went off against Arsenal and it's questionable 589 00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: play in this. 590 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: So we could. 591 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 3: See Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire back there for Manchester United. 592 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: So they really are not going to be able to 593 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 3: build out of the back with those two guys. 594 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 2: And that's the thing, right so United. I actually thought, 595 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: and I watched Arsenal match pretty closely, like the Arsenal 596 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,840 Speaker 2: press wasn't as good as it was in the spring meeting, 597 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: and I think a lot of that was actually Anana, 598 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: Like Onana was a good part of the distribution the 599 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 2: first phase, but then everything broke down, like they couldn't 600 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 2: get the ball from Okaynana made a good pass, Now 601 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: how do we get it to Rashford and they really 602 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: couldn't do that. And I think Amorbot is probably the 603 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: guy that fits in there best next to Casimira. I 604 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: think like an Amabat, Casmiro pivot could be really effective 605 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: for United, but I don't think we're going to see 606 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: that on Saturday. So I think are still there's still 607 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 2: time maybe for this to gel to work. Like I 608 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: truly do think that an Onana, Casimiro, Amrabot, Hoyland, Rashford 609 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 2: Fernandez team could be really good. It's a really good spine. 610 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: But again, like that's more of a later question, not 611 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 2: a Saturday question. 612 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, and one more thing I'll mention, Michael. I know 613 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 3: you pointed this out the last time we talked about United, 614 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 3: how as it gets later and later in the match, 615 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 3: they just look absolutely gassed, like time and time again. 616 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 3: So far the season, they've conceded seven point one expected 617 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 3: goals in four matches. Three point five of them have 618 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 3: come in this seventy sixth minute or later per understat 619 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 3: So they really have defended okay for large stretches, and 620 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 3: then with no depth on their bench right now because 621 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: of all these injuries, they have just conceded so many 622 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 3: chances towards the end. So if you're somebody who likes 623 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 3: to live bet and this match is sitting kind of stale, 624 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 3: and there's been a bunch of chances and maybe a 625 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 3: good opportunity to jump in on a live over here, 626 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: But for me, I'm on Brighton money line. You know, 627 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 3: I bet Brighton early got in my minus one twenty 628 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: plus and a half, but I forgot to log it 629 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 3: in the alf So we're just gonna go bright In 630 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 3: money line at plus two thirty because I truly believe 631 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 3: that this should be a little more closer to a 632 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 3: pick them than Brighton being over two to one. 633 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 1: Surprise, surprise, all of a sudden, Brighton as an underdog Spurs. Anthony, 634 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: I think this was the match that I had like 635 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: the least kind of intrigue for The only thing I 636 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: wanted to say is the price on Spurs getting a 637 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: little nuts their minus three fifty hosting Sheffield United ten 638 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: to one at Tottenham Hot Spurs Stadium. In the draws 639 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: plus four fifty, I'd be really nervous laying it with 640 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: Spurs just because they're still in the early stages of 641 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: a revolution that we're behind. I got Anthony on board 642 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: finally for Big ang Ball, and we think it'll it'll 643 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: be a good thing for Spurs, but in the early going, 644 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: like it's it is still a little high risk, and 645 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 1: it's just that Sheffield United aren't the type of team 646 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: that like. I said a lot of underdogs on this 647 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: weekend that I like, and they're just not going to 648 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: make the list, so I'll be passing, but I would 649 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: be a little wary at this kind of number for Spurs. 650 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: Well, you know, Tottenham played two opponents prior to the 651 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: international break, Burnley and Bournemouth, who are trying to press, 652 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: trying to play the ball, trying to be more assertive, 653 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 2: and that kind of played into Tottenhams hands a little 654 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: bit and gave more space to operate. They also then 655 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: played Son up top and bench with Charlison against Burnley 656 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: and then had an attacking outburst. I don't think that's 657 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: a coincidence. So you know, I think that there's a 658 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: big question mark as to how they manage this going 659 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 2: forward because sown up top, you know, you don't get 660 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: him as a wing outlet and a runner. But in 661 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 2: this kind of matchup that's probably better because there's not 662 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: like there's gonna be a ton of space to operate 663 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: in behind Sheffield United here because United is not going 664 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: to play like Brentford or Bournemouth and Burnley. They're gonna 665 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: play more like Brentford did against Tottenham, which was Okay, 666 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: have the ball in our final third, you're not gonna 667 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: get in our penalty area. Of course, Sheffield's much worse 668 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,959 Speaker 2: than Brentford defensively, but the tactics kind of play out 669 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 2: in a similar way. And I think that there's real 670 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: questions about how good are these Spurs wingers, whether it's 671 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 2: Alman and Kulaseevski, the two i'd expect to start. Potentially 672 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: if they place on up top, how good are they 673 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: at beating a man and getting across in And they 674 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 2: don't really have like a target man in the middle, 675 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 2: like like Harry Kane used to be, So I think 676 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: there are some questions about how they'll break down effective 677 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 2: low blocks. You could debate how effective the low block 678 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: of Sheffield will be, but it would be under or 679 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: nothing for me. I will be waiting on some lineups. 680 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: Destiny Odaldi might be the best left back in the league. 681 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna put that out there. I'm gonna throw 682 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 2: that into the into the space back in like three months. 683 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 2: I'm telling you, man, some of the underlying numbers on 684 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 2: him have been really impressive, getting forward, defending, like everything 685 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 2: in his profile and it's you know, he popped at 686 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: to swallow to me prior to this too, so it's 687 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 2: not like this came out of nowhere. He's been really 688 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: really impressive overall, so you know, I'm buying into the 689 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: profile and his ability to you know, win take ons 690 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 2: and get forward and contribute defensively and win the ball high. 691 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: It's been extremely impressive to watch and him and Sar 692 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: I think are the you know, these are guys who 693 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: were bought last year and now I've kind of been 694 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: brought in this year, and you know that's been a 695 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: big part of the revolution. Willing to play the kids, 696 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 2: which Antonio Conte was not. So yeah, exciting times. You know, 697 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: there's still a ceiling on this team unless they get 698 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 2: a better striker Europa League. 699 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we've got one of the best in the world. 700 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,920 Speaker 1: Bj richarleson Yeah, j what are your thoughts here? Man? 701 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 3: I do like the under three. The best pricing you 702 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 3: can find is at plus one. Actually I bet three 703 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: sixty five. Anthony nathan All on that head here is 704 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: that Toddham have played essentially three teams United, Bournemouth and 705 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 3: Burnley who will press them high, play into their hands 706 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 3: and allow Tottenham to go forward and do what they 707 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 3: do best, which is go forward that blitz them attack 708 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 3: transitional opportunities. That's where Sun and company are at their best. 709 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: You saw it against Brentford. Now I'm not saying Sheffield 710 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 3: United is Brentford, but they did struggle for large stretches 711 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 3: of trying to break down a Lowa block. And Sheffield 712 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 3: United so far the season, although they have concealed a 713 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 3: lot of chances, they do have the fourth best final 714 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 3: third penalty box entry conversion rate, which is a very 715 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 3: encouraging sign if you're going to play five at the 716 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 3: back and clog up the middle of the pitch. And 717 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 3: like Anthony mentioned, Tottenham doesn't have very can anymore, which 718 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 3: means they don't really have that aerial threat in the 719 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 3: middle of the box. Where if Sheffield Unity clogs up 720 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 3: the middle of the pitch and just says, okay, you 721 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 3: can try to beat us to death crosses and they 722 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 3: just don't have anybody to get on the end of those, 723 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 3: then that's where the problem lies for Tottenham and Sheffield United. 724 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 3: I mean, yes, the expected goals numbers have been bad, 725 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 3: but if you watch their matches like they do well 726 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: for really really large stretches and then they just make 727 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 3: one or two like really dumb mistakes where they just 728 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 3: don't pick up a runner and they just teams will 729 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 3: head in an easy goal inside the yard box, and 730 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: then it's like, oh my gosh, look at that. They 731 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 3: just conceded two point two expected goals. It's like, all right, 732 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 3: well they did, like if you look at it. For example, 733 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 3: a good example is the Manchester City match where City 734 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,959 Speaker 3: took I think like twenty shots in the first hour, 735 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 3: like it was an insane a number, but all of 736 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 3: those weren't really of great value, and then of course 737 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 3: Holland scores and they got to play more aggressive and 738 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 3: City created a bunch of chances and ends up with 739 00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 3: you know, three and a half expected goals with a 740 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: penalty there. But I think they can really frustrate this 741 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 3: Tottenham team for really large stretches. They're going to be 742 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 3: on the road, They're not going to obviousically not going 743 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 3: to come out and try and press them. They're going 744 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 3: to stay very compact and I don't think Tottenham is 745 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 3: going to really press them once Scheffley United has the ball, 746 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 3: because they've shown they're just going to send them all along. 747 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 3: So I think Tottenham will kind of sit back as 748 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: well and just try to win those duels in the 749 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 3: middle of the pitch, which will create kind of a 750 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 3: slow clog type match. So I only projected two point 751 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 3: six for this one, so under three plus went away 752 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 3: from me. 753 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 2: We joked about a Jovers and then like the market 754 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 2: completely overreacted to like one game, but that's been the 755 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: whole league too. 756 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 3: So and a lookhead spot for Tottenham. Look ahead to 757 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 3: what the North London Darby. 758 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care about that. Oh off international off 759 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 2: international break. We don't have Europe. No look ahead there. 760 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: We will be Benny Tottenham next week though, if the 761 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 2: line stays where it is right. 762 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 3: Now, no, we won't. 763 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: I will be west Ham and City now. I guess 764 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: the question now is like when when is the time coming? 765 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 3: This might be a hit. 766 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: It's close six west Ham United? 767 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 3: No to to fade City? 768 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: Oh to fade City? 769 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah right, we're. 770 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 3: Gonna I think about I'm thinking about riding this insanity 771 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 3: run the west Ham. 772 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,359 Speaker 1: They might they might just win the travel this team 773 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: uh west Ham six to one at home, City minus 774 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: two two three traveling and uh the draws plus three fifty. 775 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: I can't really pick out anything interesting with City, yet 776 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 1: usually there's something interesting that kind of bubbles up early 777 00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: on in the year. 778 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 2: They're worse with Holland Yeah, but I mean we said. 779 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: That about that too. They were the best team in 780 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: the world. 781 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 3: Did I say they're worse with without the Bruyna? And 782 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 3: how clear it is right now and how they're gonna lose. 783 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: But figure out like they just figure it out. But 784 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: I mean those are bigger picture questions for for west Ham. 785 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: I just like they're a tough team to beat when 786 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: they're playing moise ball and I know that great against Lowtontown, 787 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: but I'll forgive them that's a that was a weird 788 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: spot first Premier League game there. And uh for that 789 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: home crowd. They had right of the ball, Yeah, they 790 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: exactly they needed to be. 791 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 3: On the ball, can't Michael. I can't get the Brighton 792 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,919 Speaker 3: match out of my head. 793 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they were so good. 794 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: They just but like Brighton doesn't have rodri and Stone's 795 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,479 Speaker 2: and Guardiol and like City does. 796 00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what Guardiol's second game with them, that's. 797 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 3: Here's here's your case. Here's your case. If you want 798 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 3: to bet west Ham is I'm going to say this 799 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 3: right now I think that west Ham, the business that 800 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 3: they've done this summer has actually been very very good. 801 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 3: To replace Declan Rice, essentially, you cannot, you can you 802 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 3: cannot replace Declan Rice with one player. But what you 803 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 3: can do is take the best qualities that Declan Rice has, 804 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 3: because he is perfect at everything. You can take his 805 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 3: great defensive qualities and you can replace him with Edison Alvarez, 806 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 3: and you can take his great ball progression and passing 807 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 3: skills and you can replace them with James Ward Prowse. 808 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,800 Speaker 3: And I think it kind of works, especially in this match. 809 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 3: I mean that Brighton match. Edison Alvarez is so so 810 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 3: good in that defensive midfield rule, protecting the back line, 811 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 3: tracking all the tracking the strikers wherever they go. He 812 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 3: is the reason why now this west Ham low block 813 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 3: is actually really effective and able to keep teams out 814 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 3: City without de Bruyna is a very very interesting cage 815 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 3: in case, if you watch the match against Fulham, what's 816 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 3: end up, what's had to happen is now they're playing 817 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 3: Ulian Alvarez kind of up top and into ten kind 818 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 3: of role, and with him being a natural strikers, he's 819 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 3: had to kind of drop back and play that ten role, 820 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 3: receive the ball and kind of facilitate it. You know, 821 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 3: rodri is not Gundigan. He's not a box invader. He's 822 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 3: not somebody that's going to get forward and push up 823 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,320 Speaker 3: on that second line of defense. He's much more someone 824 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 3: that kind of sits out and around the box. So 825 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 3: now him alongside with Kovacic, it's a much much more 826 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 3: defensive approach from City. I mean, listen, they're still City like. 827 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 3: They still created a ton of chances. Like it's not 828 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,479 Speaker 3: like they're like, oh my gosh, like it's Panic mode. 829 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 3: But what de Bruyna does for them is not only 830 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 3: is he great at receiving the ball between the lines 831 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 3: and picking out those pass in getting the assists, but 832 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 3: what Pep has done a lot with him is that 833 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 3: when teams try to man mark him, he'll just pull 834 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 3: him out wide and take their best center backer, defensive 835 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 3: midfielder with him and create space in the middle of 836 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 3: the pitch. Now they don't have that, Teams are able 837 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 3: to clog up the middle of the pitch, and I 838 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 3: think that's why you saw them take only six shots 839 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 3: against Fulham, is just because they couldn't find anything through 840 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 3: the middle. 841 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:19,959 Speaker 2: Of the pitch. 842 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,399 Speaker 3: Now you have grealish questionable for this match. It looks 843 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 3: like john Stones will be back as well. I think 844 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,879 Speaker 3: there's some question marks with City right now and they 845 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 3: may very well win this match like for nothing, and 846 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 3: you know that's oh my gosh. We're also stupid for 847 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 3: even questioning that City is maybe a worse off. But 848 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 3: I think there's a real chance here now. The numbers 849 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 3: not good. 850 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 2: Enough, Like I'm not even closed, that's the problem. 851 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 3: Now we can have this wonderful conversation, but I need 852 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 3: west Ham plus one and a half to have any 853 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 3: to even start the conversation here, So it is a 854 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 3: pass for me. Would need a way better number. 855 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 2: City at the beginning of last year was minus one 856 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 2: and a half at west Ham and I was like, yeah, 857 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 2: that's about right. Now they're like going a quarter, Like 858 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: is west Ham better? You see? I think they're better 859 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 2: set up to play the most extreme form of moist ball, 860 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,240 Speaker 2: which is just like we're going to do the set pieces, 861 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 2: we're going to do the occasional counter attack, and we're 862 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 2: going to defend for our lives. And so far, so good, 863 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 2: it's been. It's been effective. But how long is. 864 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 3: That going to work. 865 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 2: How long is mckel antonio going to stay playing at 866 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 2: the level he has been in the first month, But 867 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,360 Speaker 2: Ketta keeping him, I think is a huge key. Of course. 868 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 3: Yeahs interesting. 869 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 2: It's in the system though, it's gonna be interesting. 870 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 3: He's gonna play, He's gonna play more centrally. 871 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 2: That's where Paqueta and like they're still going to play 872 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 2: a double pivot. So where does he fit in the team. 873 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. And he's not like a get the 874 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 2: ball and then run and dribble with it. He's more 875 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: of a we have the ball. 876 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,839 Speaker 1: And figure it out. I mean, I have no bet here. 877 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: I use a transfer market legend. 878 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 2: Their defense has been quote unquote good, but they've conceded. 879 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 2: It's a ton of chances they just haven't gone in. 880 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: But so it's everybody. I mean, it's just the Premier 881 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: League is just a chance after chance. 882 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: More fun for a neutral way, less fun for betting. 883 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 3: I think it's like right now, last season the Premier 884 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 3: League averaged I think it was around two. 885 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 2: Point three tenths of a goal roughly ninety. 886 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's three tenths better. It's like last year was 887 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 3: like three and now it's like three point three. 888 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 2: You know there's a small impact on extra time, but 889 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 2: a lot of it is just I think it's tactical. 890 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 2: I do think. 891 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,720 Speaker 1: I agree, I do two and one of the teams 892 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: that is part of this is Brentford. Their plus five 893 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: hundred going up north to Saint James Park take on 894 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: Newcastle minus one eighty two. The draw is plus three hundred. 895 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: Brentford's right up there when you look at the underlying metrics, 896 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: is one of the best offensive teams in the league. 897 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,080 Speaker 1: Newcastle coming in one win, no draws, three losses. They 898 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: think we spent some time talking about Newcastle on the 899 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: Champions League pot really tough schedule, but when you I 900 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: think when you actually look at the matches themselves, like 901 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: you'd come away less impressed with with Newcastle than you 902 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,440 Speaker 1: could be if you just said, oh, well, you know what. 903 00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: They they lost the City, they lost to Liverpool and 904 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 1: they lost to Brighton. The Brighton performance was not good. 905 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 1: They were down three to nothing inside seventy minutes and 906 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: couldn't stop Evan Ferguson. The Liverpool performance was a choke job, 907 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: and City they just never got going. So if you're 908 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: going to be a team that is one of the 909 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,560 Speaker 1: favorites to be a top four and a gate potential 910 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: gate crasher in the title race. Those are matches that 911 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: you need, end points, you need to get. So I 912 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: think that the market maybe is a little too high 913 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: on on Newcastle. It's a team that I really have 914 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: trouble getting right. I finally did by betting Brighton against 915 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 1: them on the other side of the international break. And 916 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to bet Brentford here because I think Brentford 917 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 1: has the offensive chops to give Newcastle problems to at 918 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: least get a one or two on the board. And 919 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 1: if Newcastle is slow and pragmatic and takes forever to 920 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: build up like Brentford can catch catch them like new 921 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: Liverpool caught them with ten men twice. This Brentford team 922 00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: can catch them on the counter. Yeah, i'vean Tony like, 923 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,920 Speaker 1: who knew? Are they better without am Anthony? 924 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 2: I don't think so. But you know, the attack is 925 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 2: the attack is a little bit bullied by that red 926 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 2: card showing against Fulham. They kind of have to score 927 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 2: on Fulham onths they were down to ten men. But 928 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: this is the ultimate Boss level challenge for Newcastle. Whether 929 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 2: this is the match where we will learn the most 930 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 2: about Newcastle this season because again, like they lost the City, 931 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 2: they lost to Brighton, you know on the road. They 932 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: were expected to lose those matches. They choke Liverpool at 933 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 2: home after outplaying them for seventy five minutes. That happens. 934 00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: Didn't really take too much from that loss other than 935 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 2: then the fact that Eddie Howe's Newcastle was too pro 936 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 2: too passive playing with the lead, too passive in possession, 937 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,879 Speaker 2: and that is the ultimate question that will decide how 938 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: good they are this year. Teams are going to start 939 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 2: playing them more defensively. They're going to give them less 940 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 2: space in behind. They're going to play them like they 941 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 2: are a top four team. Branford is the boss of this. 942 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 2: This is what they do to every big team. They 943 00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 2: cause a ton of problems this way and their rest defense. 944 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 2: They're very passive when they want to be. They can 945 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 2: defend the penaltary well, they spring counters, they get in 946 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 2: behind on you. This will be the challenge and Newcastle 947 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 2: can separate from them and win this match by multiple goals. 948 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: I will tip my cap because I'm betting that they 949 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 2: will not do that, so I'm taking bread for plus one. 950 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 2: Don't dislike them you know, a money line sprinkle either. 951 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,640 Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a challenge for them. I 952 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:08,839 Speaker 2: think this game is going to be very instructive as 953 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 2: to what we think about Newcastle going forward, because I 954 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,439 Speaker 2: honestly don't have a real changed opinion of them after 955 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 2: the first four in which they got a great matchup 956 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,359 Speaker 2: with Villa and dominated them. Okay, they lose to City 957 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 2: by a goal, they choke a game, they lose a game, whatever. 958 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 2: Now this is where, you know, the schedule lightens up 959 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 2: a little bit starting here. Can they get some results 960 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 2: and start putting up points, because I think they're going 961 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 2: to be in the mix. 962 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, beaj we're gonna have to commit to you're passing here, 963 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 1: but we'll get you on board. 964 00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,919 Speaker 3: But shocked, yeah to This matchup has been really bad 965 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 3: for Brentford last year or so. 966 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 967 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's two games. Yeah, it's been. 968 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,280 Speaker 3: It's been a tad scary. They've gotten ripped apart multiple 969 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 3: times by Newcastle, so that scares me. And you know, 970 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: you also look at the fact that, yes, Brentford has 971 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,000 Speaker 3: played Tottenham, but other than that, the schedule has been 972 00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:58,760 Speaker 3: a little bit easier. 973 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: I remember one of those games games if I had Brentford. 974 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 3: Oh, the one where it's like fourteen. 975 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,920 Speaker 2: Big chances and then got done on the counter or 976 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 2: twice and lost to one. Like it was they weren't 977 00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 2: that bad in my mind where they got there destroyed. 978 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 2: Yeah that was bad. Yeah it was like five to one. 979 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that that one just keep sticking in my 980 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 3: mind cause I'm pretty sure I had Brentford in that match. 981 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,439 Speaker 3: But yeah, this is Newcastle at home. You know, they've 982 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 3: been one of the best teams in the Premier League. 983 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 3: At home it's a very very difficult place to play. 984 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 985 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna need some convincing because I do project 986 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 3: Newcastle at minus one seventy, so I'm pretty in line 987 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 3: with what the market is. So I'm I'm going to 988 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 3: pass and probably regret it when when Brentford wins to me. 989 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,719 Speaker 2: Won one Newcastle one point seven five xg, most of 990 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 2: it coming in the last ten minutes when they're like, ohit, 991 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 2: we're about to drop play calendar. Yeah, Callum Wasson, they 992 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 2: need to play him with estag. I'm sorry, Like al 993 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 2: Maron experiment just does not do it for me. But 994 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 2: again on the line up, another reason to think, well, 995 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,280 Speaker 2: maybe Newcastle. 996 00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'll be in the Bees money line. We'll 997 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: talk more about that as well later. Bourne Myth is 998 00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: plus three seventy five hosting Chelsea. Bet regret not going 999 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 1: in on Forrest against Chelsea. 1000 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 2: What the team's to score? What a beut? That was 1001 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 2: freaking Jackson missing. It's happened from like three yards. Just unbelievable. 1002 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: I don't know how Chelsea does it? Man, they TEAMO 1003 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: Werner Nico Jackson like this just averts Yeah, haverts like. 1004 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 2: It's it's mount had a bad stretch. 1005 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,319 Speaker 1: It's beautiful stuffs. Yeah, Chelsea's odds on the road. What 1006 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 1: minus went thirty eighth to plus and you can get 1007 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,279 Speaker 1: plus two eighty on the draw. Our high hopes for 1008 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: Bourne Myth have have kind of faded a little bit. No, 1009 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be sending this one out, b J. 1010 00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 2: How have they faded? 1011 00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:47,920 Speaker 3: They're fine. I thought they were actually very good against uh, 1012 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 3: against Brentford. They obviously, you know, Brentford created a lot 1013 00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 3: of chances and they were good underseige, but they were 1014 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 3: very effective with their counter attacking opportunities. So I'm just 1015 00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:58,279 Speaker 3: a bad They haven't won yet. 1016 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 1: They haven't They they haven't paid off as a money 1017 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: line underdog for me. 1018 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,800 Speaker 3: Yet they're getting better homes and they have the personnel 1019 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:09,000 Speaker 3: that can potentially give Chelsea problems here Chelsea, it's it's 1020 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 3: very very interesting because they have all of his talent, man, 1021 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 3: like you look at it like a Cassado and Fernandez. 1022 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 3: Midfield should be just running teams over like left and right, 1023 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 3: and they're just not right now. And even though they 1024 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 3: like they have the best pressing numbers in the Premier League, 1025 00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 3: like their best and passive per defensive action, like they've 1026 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 3: been good in that aspect. But I don't think that 1027 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 3: Poach team has really figured out what is front three 1028 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 3: is going to be. Like you just I can't really 1029 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 3: put my finger on it. Like just when you watch Chelsea, 1030 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 3: you're just like, man, this team just doesn't really have 1031 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 3: it tactically figured out like or have a plan like 1032 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 3: some of these other teams do. 1033 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 2: They don't get shot they don't get shots. 1034 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,959 Speaker 3: No, they don't they true get the shots. They don't 1035 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 3: have a true number nine and that's what they've needed 1036 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 3: for a long time. And they've spent a billion dollars 1037 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 3: except on a striker. It's just it's crazy, and yes, 1038 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 3: I know that in Kuku and Nicholas Jackson can play 1039 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 3: as a false nine and they're they're good enough in 1040 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 3: that role. But yeah, they just I don't know, this 1041 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 3: is an easy pass for me. I think the numbers 1042 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 3: about right for Chelsea. I think I don't know if 1043 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 3: we're going to learn really much from this match. I 1044 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 3: mean if even if Bournemouth wins, I think we can 1045 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 3: come away just saying like, yeah, they're still problems with Chelsea, 1046 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 3: but yeah, I need to see Chelsea show show some continuity, 1047 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 3: tactical plan life something for me to actually want to 1048 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 3: wager on them. 1049 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 2: Orma's going to get healthier and get to the easier 1050 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 2: part of their schedule and start winning, it's my takeaway. 1051 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,879 Speaker 2: But for now, like, yeah, they'll do it when they're 1052 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 2: getting Brentford to mid table teams. 1053 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,799 Speaker 1: When they're like minus one fifteen at home against Fulham or. 1054 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 2: Some sign me up to bet that please, I would lay. 1055 00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: That it's not as exciting as as. 1056 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,720 Speaker 2: Michael Leeboff of famously said. I just can't do minus 1057 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 2: one ten anymore. Last time. Last time I saw the. 1058 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 1: Person forest plus one twenty at home hosting Burnley. This 1059 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: is the Monday night football game Burnley's plus two twenty 1060 00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 1: five that draws plus two fifty. I thought we were 1061 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 1: gonna get a the way a better number Burnley. But yeah, 1062 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 1: they're just never gonna come. Maybe they are Manchester City, 1063 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,960 Speaker 1: the old Manchester City captain, So I don't know. And 1064 00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 1: I think that this is the kind of the matchup 1065 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: that Burnley has been waiting for. So I was kind 1066 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,320 Speaker 1: of excited to bet them because this is it, I think. 1067 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,799 Speaker 3: Because like, yes, I get in in respect, like they 1068 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 3: faced a bunch of teams that can build out of 1069 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,399 Speaker 3: the back and they've just ripped them apart like left 1070 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,800 Speaker 3: and right. They can't like again, I'll say it again, 1071 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 3: like Vincent Company, you have to sit back, like you 1072 00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 3: can't just press with reckless, abandon with the front four 1073 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: against good build up teams and just expect that what 1074 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,600 Speaker 3: happened to the championship is gonna happen here. You have 1075 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,719 Speaker 3: to figure out something different to be able to survive. Now, 1076 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 3: I mean Nottingham Forest is just gonna send them along. 1077 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 3: They're not gonna try to buil out of the back 1078 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 3: Canst Burnley. They can press them all they want, They're 1079 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 3: just gonna play them all over the top against them, 1080 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 3: and I have questioned for you guys, is like not 1081 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 3: Ingham Forrest, like not in this match, but going forward 1082 00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 3: like betable good like in terms of like backing them 1083 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,280 Speaker 3: as an underdog against some of these bigger teams. 1084 00:49:59,200 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1085 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they ow Nation. 1086 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 1: That Anthony didn't find out about until last year. 1087 00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 2: Well what a second? Oh, this is the Steve Cooper thing. 1088 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 2: I don't think he's a good manager. But if you 1089 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 2: buy enough players, eventually like two or three of them 1090 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 2: are going to be good enough. And that they got one. 1091 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,239 Speaker 2: They got Tywo, he's good. And then they got rid 1092 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 2: of Brendan Johnson who's not good, and so they don't 1093 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 2: play him anymore. They can't play him. Therefore there could 1094 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,319 Speaker 2: be better. Is good? They got him? 1095 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 3: Here we go. Michael Forest is going to City next 1096 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 3: City off of a Champions League third match in seven days? 1097 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,800 Speaker 2: Where is City League at Belgrade? 1098 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 3: No, they're home. Tune into the Champions League pod where 1099 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 3: my best bet might be Belgrade plus three against City. 1100 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,800 Speaker 3: That's just like the easiest pass on the board from me. 1101 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 3: I su it sucks that it's on a Monday, which 1102 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 3: they would have just buried this, you know, in the 1103 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 3: ten am window and played Brighton and United or something. 1104 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 2: Maybe actually wouldn't play again. Letould just reshow the match 1105 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 2: once Brighton. 1106 00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 3: I know they can't. I know they can't because of 1107 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 3: the European h schedule, but it would have been nice 1108 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 3: to have a better match here on a Monday. But yeah, 1109 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,240 Speaker 3: I mean I barely compress all they want. But Force 1110 00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,520 Speaker 3: is just gonna send the ball along and then they're 1111 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,040 Speaker 3: gonna have to deal with Tywo and and all the 1112 00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 3: other big guys up front. 1113 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah it's a pass. But if you are 1114 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 1: looking for some action, I think Tywo is like a 1115 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: two plus goal scorer. Maybe maybe go down that road, 1116 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: all right, Bundesliga time, Anthony. If if clad Bach Byron 1117 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 1: is your super Bowl, this one is, uh, this is 1118 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. I feel like it didn't take too long. 1119 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,279 Speaker 1: I noticed in the sheet right away that you were 1120 00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 1: ready to fade Byron right right away. 1121 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 2: Again we go again. You know, we couldn't get the 1122 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 2: money line home on Super Bowl Sunday Saturday a couple 1123 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,839 Speaker 2: weeks ago. I was we took the lead and then 1124 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 2: hit the post and had a chance to go up too, 1125 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,880 Speaker 2: and I was like, what is happening? Like this is 1126 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 2: the worst glod Buck team I've ever seen fielded and 1127 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 2: we're winning it against Byron. But Byron did score late, 1128 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 2: winning two one. Actually the perfect result really. Once I 1129 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 2: realized Glodbach wasn't going to win the game, I was like, well, 1130 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 2: for our relegation ticket, they probably should lose this game. 1131 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,280 Speaker 2: But then also covered easily gladboc day cash is again 1132 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,400 Speaker 2: against the spread. Bj did not bet it once again, 1133 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 2: didn't disappointment. One day we'll get him to do it 1134 00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,560 Speaker 2: and that will be the day behind wins six zero. 1135 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna fade Byron again. I think they're you know, 1136 00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that like I downgraded them 1137 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,400 Speaker 2: off of the game against Goldbach. They were fine, they 1138 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,480 Speaker 2: were better team, deserved to win in the end. But 1139 00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 2: I think that this Leverkusen team there's a chance for 1140 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 2: undervaluing them. They put up numbers that were right up 1141 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 2: there with Leipzig in the second half of last season, 1142 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,319 Speaker 2: and they added a striker in Victor Boni Fass from 1143 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: unon St Juas, who is putting up like I mean, 1144 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: he won't sustain this level of production, but the numbers 1145 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:49,040 Speaker 2: he's putting up in this system, like it's like they 1146 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,200 Speaker 2: took mussad Abi out and then got a better version 1147 00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 2: of him and now he plays central and versus healthy 1148 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,080 Speaker 2: and from Pong's been really good, and like this team 1149 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 2: is loaded with really fun attacking players and Byron may 1150 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 2: not have Kimmick for this match, so you know, they 1151 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,919 Speaker 2: lose Gravin back, they don't have Kimmick now and they 1152 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,080 Speaker 2: are going to be vulnerable, I think against this Leverkusen team. 1153 00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 2: So I took some money line and I took some 1154 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 2: plus one. Bonny Foss four goals and two assists in 1155 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,240 Speaker 2: his first three Bundesliga matches, averaging one point one expected 1156 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 2: goals plus expected assists per ninety. Like just obscene numbers 1157 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 2: in winning, you know, taking the ball and then dribbling 1158 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 2: it into the penalty area, you know, being an outlet, 1159 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 2: and then just getting ridiculously good shot numbers dominated against 1160 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,640 Speaker 2: against god Bach in the matchup they had as well. 1161 00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 2: So I'm really all in on this guy, and I 1162 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,840 Speaker 2: think that you know, he raises this ceiling so high 1163 00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,759 Speaker 2: for Leverkusen that they may be the third best team 1164 00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,960 Speaker 2: in the league. I think there's a there's a decent 1165 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:46,879 Speaker 2: shot they're better than Dortmound to come the end of. 1166 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 1: This all right, Yeah, I think you've convinced me here. 1167 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:50,359 Speaker 1: I saw that pop in and I was like, I'll 1168 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:51,440 Speaker 1: probably jump in on this one. 1169 00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 2: It's a Friday afternoon too, so yeah, exactly. 1170 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: It's nice, nice way to wind down the week. BJ. 1171 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 1: What do you have in Germany? 1172 00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,319 Speaker 3: Oh, let's have some fun. How Aboutberg dortmand over three 1173 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 3: and a half at plus one point thirty weird, weird 1174 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,799 Speaker 3: situation here especially, you know, Dortmund is is a very 1175 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 3: very interesting case right now because they have been very, 1176 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,160 Speaker 3: very vulnerable defensively and especially with teams that can do 1177 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 3: quick transitional attacks, which is a team that Freiburg just 1178 00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 3: bases their entire attack on their main ball stopper in 1179 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,680 Speaker 3: the middle of the pitch, sa mere Sean right now, 1180 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 3: Like we've seen him over his career, he's not an 1181 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 3: elite ball stopper, like he's no ok central midfielder. But 1182 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 3: he is not what Jude Bellingham was for Dortmund. And 1183 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 3: Dortmund also was below average defense defending set pieces. And 1184 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,960 Speaker 3: if you know anything about Freiburg, they they're basically like 1185 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,800 Speaker 3: the Bournemouth of not Bournemouth, excuse me, Brentford of Germany 1186 00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,560 Speaker 3: where they just put this loads of value on just 1187 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 3: scoring off of set pieces, so they'll have advantages there. 1188 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 3: And the biggest thing with this matchup is both starting 1189 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,760 Speaker 3: goalkeepers for both teams are hurt, so we got backup 1190 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 3: goalkeepers in that there. I think it'll be a very 1191 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 3: back and forth transitional type match. You know, Freiberg has 1192 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 3: actually been pretty poor defensively despite their defensive shape. Just 1193 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 3: gave up five goals to stut Cart in their last match, 1194 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 3: so I projected right on three and a half goals. 1195 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,320 Speaker 3: So over three and a half plus one thirty is 1196 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 3: a good enough price for me. 1197 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 2: Not to mention as the the Friedburg Brentford connection. Flecken 1198 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,680 Speaker 2: was the starter at Friedburg last year. The goalie he's 1199 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 2: been sold to Brentford, so that's you know, the backup 1200 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 2: goalie that they got. It came in to replace Fleckin out, 1201 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,759 Speaker 2: So yeah, real question marks. I mean, Dorman doesn't play 1202 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:25,759 Speaker 2: defense and last year they just outscored everybody. This year 1203 00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 2: they're not doing that, so uh, it's it's a. 1204 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 3: Also Kevin Shade at Brentford was the Freiburg striker last year, 1205 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,680 Speaker 3: but they bought in the January transfer window. 1206 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 1: Syria, Ah time b J Syria. 1207 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:43,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty simple here Monday afternoon to Reno plus one 1208 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 3: twenty five of course against can you guys. 1209 00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 2: Guess is Dia playing? There's the oup. 1210 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 3: I don't know leaving. 1211 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 2: If he does, he's gonna miss. 1212 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 3: Potentially he's potentially gonna miss. And it was a huge 1213 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 3: loss for him when losing, the scuge loss for them 1214 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,239 Speaker 3: when they went to Leche and just got absolutely destroyed. 1215 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 3: But they're doing it again. You know, Salmonitana has putting 1216 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,560 Speaker 3: up just horrible expected goals numbers. You know, Da is 1217 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:08,279 Speaker 3: obviously huge. Then they don't really have another striker like him. 1218 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 3: I don't really like laying plus one twenty five on 1219 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 3: the road, but I don't think that you know it. 1220 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 3: But by my projections, there really isn't much value in 1221 00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:18,440 Speaker 3: Italy this year. This uh this weekend. It's basically my 1222 00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,200 Speaker 3: my main two. It's just bet Roma and Fade Salernitana 1223 00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:23,320 Speaker 3: is just what my numbers tell me every single week. 1224 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:25,839 Speaker 3: If you follow in the app, I've parlayed Roma's more 1225 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,440 Speaker 3: money line with Barcelona. Stop betting they stay, No, they don't. 1226 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,880 Speaker 3: They're gonna win the Europa League. But uh yeah, no, 1227 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 3: I projected Torino at I think around minus one all five, 1228 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,799 Speaker 3: uh so decent price on a Monday afternoon, plus one 1229 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 3: twenty five on them. They haven't really gotten going offensively 1230 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 3: this year, but they're gonna face really really bad defense, 1231 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,440 Speaker 3: so projection's value, So give me Trino. 1232 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,400 Speaker 2: I want to give a quick story. Wasted Galazo on Twitter. 1233 00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 2: He's a soccer better does some good stuff with market 1234 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,840 Speaker 2: movement and player value. And uh he did a tweet 1235 00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,319 Speaker 2: the other day he said, who do you think in 1236 00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 2: my model is the most valuable player to his team 1237 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 2: in the top five leagues. The answer in his model 1238 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,840 Speaker 2: was boul idea sounding Tana, which is pretty funny. 1239 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: Yep. 1240 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, it just shows you how he is. He 1241 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 2: maybe out on Monday. 1242 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,040 Speaker 1: And Anthony, you you've got the Milan der Darby. 1243 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,440 Speaker 2: I like to stick in the big matches. But I 1244 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 2: think that both of these attacks. You know, Inter's attack 1245 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 2: was clearly downgraded in the market at the beginning of 1246 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 2: the season, but like they have picked up right where 1247 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 2: they left off and kind of dropped off the old 1248 00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,120 Speaker 2: immobile guys and become much more of a dynamic attack. 1249 00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 2: As a result, they're not as slow and methodical you know, 1250 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 2: they take Brazovich out, they get more athletic, younger and 1251 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,440 Speaker 2: more dynamic as a result, Like Taram has come in 1252 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 2: and been really good. Like this attack has taken a 1253 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 2: clear step forward for me in my numbers, and I 1254 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 2: think the same is true for a Cemalon in this matchup, 1255 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 2: because they have really bolstered the non leal parts of 1256 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 2: their attack with pool, a stick in Chiquez and loft 1257 00:57:56,600 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 2: his cheek as a progressive passer in there. So the system, 1258 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 2: you know, have this total at two and a half, 1259 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 2: the market has to total at two and a half. 1260 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:05,760 Speaker 2: I just think it's a touch low. Like I get it, 1261 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 2: you know, rivalry matchup, you know it's gonna be KG 1262 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 2: so to speak. But remember this matchup in the Champions League, 1263 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,880 Speaker 2: Like Inter was running through them in the first twenty 1264 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,720 Speaker 2: minutes and up two goals and then they just sat 1265 00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 2: on it. You know, I think Milan has more attacking punch. 1266 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 2: Still have questions about this defense. This Milan defense is 1267 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,560 Speaker 2: very young. They don't have their best defensive midfielder, so 1268 00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 2: I think there's real questions about their defense. But I 1269 00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,720 Speaker 2: think both teams have pretty good attacks here. So over 1270 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 2: two and a half minus one fifteen for me. 1271 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,720 Speaker 1: Okay, La Liga and legue bj anthey and I are passing, 1272 00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 1: so this is all you? 1273 00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Los Palmas plus one minus one thirty five against Sevilla. Sebia' 1274 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 3: spits so bad. They've been so bad in La Lega 1275 00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 3: once again, three straight losses and the expected goals numbers 1276 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 3: are once again really really bad for them. And listen, 1277 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,320 Speaker 3: they might just do this again where they just put 1278 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 3: all the value into the Champions League and eventually finished 1279 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 3: third in their group and then go to the Europa 1280 00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,160 Speaker 3: League and go on some crazy run again and then 1281 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,720 Speaker 3: they just don't care about the La Liga, which creates 1282 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,200 Speaker 3: a perfect opportunity here for us. But in what world 1283 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,040 Speaker 3: should they be laying minus one sixty two against really 1284 00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 3: anybody in Lall League right now? And Los Palmas, like 1285 00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,920 Speaker 3: I mentioned in the last podcast, was a plus point 1286 00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 3: seventy four actually differential for ninety in the second division 1287 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 3: last season. They put in a really good performance against 1288 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 3: Girona right before the break and just got beat on 1289 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,880 Speaker 3: a late winner. But I mean, I have to be 1290 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:27,200 Speaker 3: a closer to even money than laying a full goal 1291 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 3: at home. I mean, there's still some real problems with 1292 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,760 Speaker 3: this team so lost Palmis plus one and then another 1293 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,160 Speaker 3: Friday match PSG NIE under three and under three goals 1294 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 3: and minus one oh four. You know, the Luis en 1295 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 3: Rique PSG, Like we know with the Luis Rikz, they're 1296 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,040 Speaker 3: going to hold a ton of possession so far FORUR matches, 1297 00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 3: seventy two percent possession for PSG, and like we mentioned, 1298 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 3: the Champions League. POD's what's good about this version of 1299 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 3: the PSG team is that their front three is actually 1300 00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 3: going to do some defensive work. They're actually going to counterpress. 1301 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:56,920 Speaker 3: They're not when they lose the ball, they're not just 1302 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 3: going to, you know, just let the opponent have and 1303 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,440 Speaker 3: just slink back to whatever type of you know, defensive 1304 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 3: shape that they were running under Galtier. They actually you know, 1305 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,600 Speaker 3: with dem Ble and Colamani, they will actually be pressing. 1306 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,280 Speaker 3: And then the bears out in the numbers so far 1307 01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,240 Speaker 3: pass per defensive action last season was eleven for PSG. 1308 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 3: This season it's eight point five, and they forced the 1309 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,840 Speaker 3: most high turnovers of anybody in League one. But what 1310 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,120 Speaker 3: we know about PSG is they value the Champions League 1311 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 3: over anything else. So we could see some rotation here. 1312 01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 3: We could see Himbappe potentially get rested, which you know, 1313 01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:32,600 Speaker 3: obviously would I believe deflate this total anise over the 1314 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 3: second half last season only allowed point nine to six 1315 01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 3: non penalty expected goals. They're a very very good defensive 1316 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,560 Speaker 3: block team, so I think we're gonna see a little 1317 01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,040 Speaker 3: bit of stalemate here, slow paced match with Enrique, so 1318 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 3: I like under three goals. 1319 01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: Okay, Now on to our three leg money line underdog. 1320 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,360 Speaker 1: A shout out to Lunetown they. I was really having 1321 01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:52,760 Speaker 1: a tough time to sign it between the one I 1322 01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: went with and and them, But Antony, you can go first. 1323 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take Bayern leverkuz In four to one 1324 01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 2: Friday afternoon against Byron Munich. There's been some cracks in 1325 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 2: the armor. Kimmick potentially being out for them is a 1326 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 2: huge red flag because they don't have any depth really 1327 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 2: in their central midfield, and he is so good at 1328 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,600 Speaker 2: ball retention and winning the ball and helping their transition defense. 1329 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 2: And Leverkusen with Vertz, with Frimpong and with Bony Foss 1330 01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,400 Speaker 2: are just so fun to watch and so good out 1331 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,480 Speaker 2: of possession. Jobby Alonso's done a hell of a job. 1332 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,480 Speaker 2: I think four to one's a little cheap on them. 1333 01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:25,960 Speaker 2: I understand Byron at home and now dominant they are. 1334 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 2: It's Bayern Munich blah blah blah. But Leverkusen is maybe 1335 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,480 Speaker 2: trending upward and leveling up with their new striker. 1336 01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:37,720 Speaker 1: Easy one. Brentford five to one against Newcastle on the road. 1337 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: We talked about this now for two years. This team 1338 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:43,200 Speaker 1: just punches up so well in these spots, counter tacking dynamo. 1339 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Newcastle's showing some cracks in the armor as well. I 1340 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:50,040 Speaker 1: would say out of the gates. Brentford doesn't look like 1341 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,960 Speaker 1: they're missing Ivan Tony too much. Just always trust Thomas 1342 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 1: Frank when the number gets this high. So Brentford baby 1343 01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,840 Speaker 1: back on the beat. Feels good, BJ And you're on 1344 01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 1: an old faithful too here. 1345 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Brighton plus two thirty against Manchester United. Like 1346 01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:06,920 Speaker 3: we've already talked about, Manchester United is stuck between two 1347 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 3: different tactical plans where they sometimes want to be a 1348 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:11,640 Speaker 3: build up team and then other times ten Hoggs hays 1349 01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,840 Speaker 3: we want to be the best transitional team in the world. Well, 1350 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,840 Speaker 3: they're going through a ton of injuries right now that 1351 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 3: really hamper both abilities to be a transitional team and 1352 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,479 Speaker 3: a build up team. We could potentially see a Harry 1353 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,160 Speaker 3: Maguire Victor lindeloff center back pairing. I Flsande Martinez is 1354 01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 3: out for this match, which is going to be very, 1355 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,560 Speaker 3: very difficult defending a Brighton team that is averaging over 1356 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 3: two non penalty expected goals so far this season and 1357 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 3: a Brighton team that is a top five pressing team 1358 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,160 Speaker 3: under Deserbe and United. They are not conditioned well enough 1359 01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,439 Speaker 3: to hold on and stay with Brighton for a full 1360 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 3: ninety minutes. So far this season, they've conceied seven point 1361 01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 3: one expected goals. Three point five of them have came 1362 01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 3: in the seventy sixth minute or later. So Brighton will 1363 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 3: continually keep coming at them. Deservee Ball will continually keep 1364 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,240 Speaker 3: the build out of the keep building out of the 1365 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,840 Speaker 3: back and coming at United. So the price on Brighton's 1366 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 3: two good give me them at plus two. 1367 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Thirty Leverkusen Brighton Brentford. If you wrap them up in 1368 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: a money line Parlight's ninety eight to one. If you 1369 01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: sprinkle Lootontown in there, five hundred and forty three to one. 1370 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 2: I think it's the favorite one of the year. 1371 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, three, we have not have we haven't. We 1372 01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:19,800 Speaker 3: haven't hit one of these yet, so this this get 1373 01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 3: all the Russian back week we've had. 1374 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,360 Speaker 2: We've had a couple of two goal leads melt so 1375 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:24,600 Speaker 2: we're doing yeah. 1376 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,000 Speaker 1: So that brings us to our favorite bets in the 1377 01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:28,600 Speaker 1: Premier League. 1378 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,160 Speaker 2: I'll go first. 1379 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,040 Speaker 1: BJ just made the case for Brighton and I'm echoing it. 1380 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: I like Brighton on the money line at Manchester United. 1381 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:39,280 Speaker 1: This offense will just give United plenty of trouble even 1382 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,160 Speaker 1: at the Theater of Dreams. So I like to match 1383 01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:44,160 Speaker 1: up here for Brighton at two to one, are better, Anthony? 1384 01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: What do you got ya? 1385 01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 2: Everton plus one Toffees, baby, I think it's Look I 1386 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,040 Speaker 2: bet Arsenal last week. I felt sick the whole match. 1387 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:54,040 Speaker 3: You've gotta feel safe. 1388 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Scored a late winner in diabolical fashion to cash the ticket. Uh. 1389 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,680 Speaker 2: The market has moved toward them in next week's North 1390 01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 2: London Darby, but. 1391 01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: It's because who in their right mind would bet Everton. 1392 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 2: Well, I'm talking about next week, but also this week. 1393 01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,760 Speaker 2: The market, you know, plus one on Everton and even 1394 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,800 Speaker 2: money is a little bit lower than I think it 1395 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,000 Speaker 2: should be. So I'm gonna take the. 1396 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,439 Speaker 1: Toughees sounds terrible, Bjay it is. What do you got? 1397 01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 3: Yeah? How about back to the Brighton man United get 1398 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,000 Speaker 3: a little different bet over three and a half goals 1399 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,480 Speaker 3: a plus one twenty. You know, like I've already mentioned 1400 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,680 Speaker 3: with the Brighton offense how good they've been on Desserbie 1401 01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 3: defense has actually been really really bad. They haven't faced 1402 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 3: the most difficult run of teams here and they've conceded 1403 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,560 Speaker 3: eight big scoring chances, are allowing a one point seventy 1404 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 3: five non penalty expected goals for match, and really what 1405 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 3: it boils down to for Brighton is, yes, they are 1406 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 3: a good pressing team, but they really miss Levi co 1407 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 3: Well pairing alongside Lewis Dunk. They really haven't found a 1408 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:48,800 Speaker 3: good center back pairing to go along with him and 1409 01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,080 Speaker 3: playing that left center back role that guy has just 1410 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 3: continue Whoever they were rotating in there has continually gotten 1411 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,600 Speaker 3: cooked time and time again. So United, who again wants 1412 01:04:57,640 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 3: to become the best transitional team in the world. If 1413 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,120 Speaker 3: they want to play transition here, they could find some 1414 01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 3: space here against a Brighton team that just hasn't been 1415 01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 3: closing down the ball as well as they have in 1416 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 3: the past. So Brighton Manchester United over three and a 1417 01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,840 Speaker 3: half projected three point seventy nine goals for this one, 1418 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 3: so a ton of value on over three and a 1419 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,680 Speaker 3: half and plus one twenty for. 1420 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 1: Me, What a fun show it's been. What a fun, 1421 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: fun show it's been. And the good news is we 1422 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: will be back for another fun one pretty quickly here 1423 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,000 Speaker 1: as we get started at the Champions League.
