00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Shut up, I'm trying.

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: Thank YOUSI, Thank goodness is right. Yeah, we're we're there,

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: but there's still a lot to a lot to settle,

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: most notably at the bottom of the table. But we'll

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: start at the top, and we'll start with Man City

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: with a chance to clinch their third straight title. What

36
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: is it five and six years for them and their

37
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: minus four hundred at home to Chelsea, Frank Lampard's Chelsea,

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: Mariso Pocertino's Chelsea. Whose Chelsea is at these days? I

39
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: don't know. The jaw is plus five fifty here on

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: the three way line. Thanks for thanks about three six

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: five for these odds and all the odds we will

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: reference tonight. This has been an exercise of kind of

43
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: brought up a couple of times then as we've gotten

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: down the stretch, just to kind of illustrate how it's

45
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: so hard to really you have like a really clean

46
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: grasp of how a season's gonna unfold. And if I

47
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: showed you City minus four hundred at home to Chelsea

48
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: in the second to last weekend of this season, what

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: you have thought if I showed you this on August first,

50
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Chelsea just resting everybody? They did? They have a game

51
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: like the next day what was going on? And it's

52
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: been weirder than that, honestly. But I mean you can't.

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can lay the number with

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: City here. I mean, if you want to go ahead

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: and bet them like minus three and a half, you

56
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: think that they'll just tear apart Chelsea go right ahead,

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know, feels a little let downy Chelsea

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: are up and at him all of a sudden under

59
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: Frank and he's had some success against Pep, most notably

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: in his time at Everdon. Anyways, pretty excited to meet

61
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: anybody out there who's betting Chelsea here, BJ What about you?

62
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

63
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: No, if anything could be both teams to score no

64
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: for me, that would probably be it. I mean the

65
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: thing about it is is, I mean Chelsea, I have

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: no idea if they care or not, Like I have

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: no idea.

68
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 5: Their heads are aunt.

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 4: It's really funny though to see the head lines of

70
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 4: being like poach, Tino is going to do a big

71
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: summer rebuild in the transfer market after Chelsea just spent

72
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: six hundred million dollars on new players. But it's specifically

73
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: for this match. I mean Real Madrid could not play.

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean credit to you, Anthony, You're right,

75
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: Real Madrid could not play out of the back today

76
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: against Manchester City. I mean City had twelve high turnovers

77
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 4: and just pinned them in the entire time. So what

78
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: is Chelsea gonna do, especially since they don't have a

79
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: number nine right now? They can actually they can throw

80
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 4: the ball into play in transition.

81
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 5: So it's a pass for me.

82
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's very hard once we get later

83
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 4: in the season to muster up the courage to even

84
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 4: make a bet, like, you know, both teams to score,

85
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: both team to score no on a team that.

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 5: Just doesn't care. It's very, very difficult. So I'll probably

87
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: end up just passing.

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Maybe they will care, though maybe they will, I don't know.

89
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: And that's the thing is we don't know. That's the problem.

90
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you know, look they're on a two

91
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: match on beaten streak. Frank Lampard's Chelsea coming off of

92
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a very gutsy to two draw against nodding Forest. It

93
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: followed that following up a three to one win against Bournemouth.

94
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: Like the thing is that they couldn't. They're like there

95
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: was still a respectable defensive outfit, Like they could, they can.

96
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: They're ceiling in this match is like grinding out one

97
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: one nill I think. And just those first like what

98
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: twenty five thirty minutes that Everton put together before City scored,

99
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: just doing that tripling it, you know, doing it for

100
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: ninety minutes. It's it's a long shot. That's why they're

101
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: eight to one. Like you said, you have no idea

102
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: if they care. This match is on Sunday too, and

103
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: I think that it kind of matters what Arsenal do.

104
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: And I think, so that's kind of what I'm looking

105
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: at here right Arsenal plays Forest twelve thirty on Saturday.

106
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: If Arsenal lose, If Arsenal lose, it's over. It's over.

107
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: Like yep, I.

108
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: Think what is if if Arsenal.

109
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: Already over, if Arsenal draw, it's over to Yeah exactly,

110
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: so I mean not technically because a goal difference, but.

111
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, Deserbi killed it. It's over.

112
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: But well it was killed.

113
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: You get the gist of it. It's not it's not

114
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: it's not a it died at anfield that for being honest, No,

115
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: it died when they got out played week one by

116
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: Crystal Palace, but still one very luckily.

117
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: For regression ever said exactly that moment.

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that if if Arsenal don't win

119
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: that match, and they're a big favorite to do so,

120
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: but we'll talk about that in a little bit with

121
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a couple of us might think for us or sneaky,

122
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: then I think Chelsea becomes pretty appetizing as a bet,

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: like and I don't know how quickly it'll adjust, just

124
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: because I City might be out celebrating, like they could

125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: be celebrating the title on Saturday night. So keep keep

126
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: that in mind. If if for score a goal, I

127
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: think you should just lash a bet on the Chelsea

128
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: money line, Like if they score a goal to go

129
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: ahead in that Arsenal game, Anthony, what do you think? O?

130
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: Look, I don't think Chelsea are going to have much

131
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: of a chance to win this match. I think that

132
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: City will probably have their way with Chelsea's defense. But

133
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: I'm surprised at how low. Chelsea's odds to score were.

134
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: I know Everton was at home, but like Everton was

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: just minus one ten to score created over one and

136
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: a half. XG took six shots from inside the City

137
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: six yard box into match and somehow did not score. Look,

138
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: City just turned in. Bja mentioned the twelve high turnovers.

139
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: They poured everything on the field today in that pressing display.

140
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: And we've seen this now back to back weeks where

141
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: after a really big midweek match, City rotates on the

142
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: weekend a little bit, doesn't have quite the same intensity,

143
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: doesn't look quite as dominant. It's very hard to keep

144
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: up the level play they had today. And look, I

145
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: know PJNI had City and whatever, but that level of

146
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: dominance the whole world just watched. I don't expect them

147
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: to replicate that level of intensity again. And Chelsea's better

148
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: at playing out from the back than Real Madrid is.

149
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: It's just something I think they would be more successful with.

150
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: So it would be team total over both teams to score.

151
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: For me, I'm waiting until we see more on Saturday,

152
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: because I agree with Michael that if Forrest does win

153
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: or get a result, becomes more of a party atmosphere

154
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: for Saturday, for.

155
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: Say, I think Andrea Bocelli will come out exactly and

156
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: I think.

157
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: You know, this becomes essentially a dead rubber and that

158
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: increases the goals. I think you'll actually see the market

159
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: respond to that this total will go up. If Forrest

160
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: were to pull it off on Saturday. I'm not saying

161
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: they will, but they could. And from a matchup perspective,

162
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a Chelsea team that's now scored

163
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: six goals in the last three games, so it's not

164
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: like they've quit quit. You know, they're they're they're given

165
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: the effort. I know, you know, they played Bournemouth, they

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: played not Eam Forrest. Those are two of the four

167
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: worst defenses in the league. City is the best. But

168
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: you know minus one ten is the lowest I've seen

169
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: on BTTs there. That's about what I projected at. But again,

170
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: like I said, given the you know regression coming for

171
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: both sides here, I think there's a chance of a

172
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: somewhat rotated City and Chelsea have nothing to lose here,

173
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: so why not go for it?

174
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Play spoiler, Yeah, place spoiler for.

175
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 5: Their fellow London club.

176
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, this just screams like two two three one to City.

177
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: To me, all right, let's talk about that Forest Arsenal game.

178
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: It's taking place at the city ground. Forest plus four

179
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: seventy five Arsenal minus one seventy five the draw plus

180
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: three twenty BJ. I'll flip it to you right away.

181
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: But I I'm I think Forrest is actually no the

182
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: right side here. But I know you're gonna disagree here.

183
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: But he was a little lame ducky.

184
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: I mean yes in theory, but you know, Arsenal technically

185
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: when the match kicks offs will still be alive for

186
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: the Premier League titles, so it still will matter to them.

187
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 4: And listen, I mean, Arsenal outside of Manchester City has

188
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: been one of the best teams in the Premier League

189
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 4: at breaking down low blocks this season against Bournemouth, Nottingham, Forrest, Brentford, Tottenham,

190
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: west Ham and Fulham essentially teams that play low blocks

191
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: and like to play in transition. Arsenal is averaging two

192
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 4: point zero five expected goals per match. And you know

193
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 4: it's something that we've talked about a lot. But what

194
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 4: Arsenal's able to do in their build up play by

195
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: invertings in chenko in the middle of the pitch, they're

196
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: able to build up in a three two five shape,

197
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 4: compress the back line, create overloads. It's something that you

198
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 4: saw Liverpool do to Nottingham Forest and they created close

199
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: to three expected goal, three expected goals and scored three times.

200
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 4: And I mean, listen, we're Arsenal ran into problems against Brighton.

201
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: Is Brighton just they bullied them and build up play

202
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 4: like they man mark pressed them and ar was not

203
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: able to play out through that. Nottingham Forrest is not

204
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: going to do that to Arsenal. They're going to sit back.

205
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 4: They are dead last and passed per defensive action, they're

206
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: dead last and opponent build up completion percentage allowed and

207
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: second to last and high turnovers and their defensive results

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: have been bad overall for the season. But when you

209
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 4: have playing a team like Arsenal the way that they

210
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 4: can break down low blocks, it gets really bad. So

211
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 4: this season against City, Arsenal, Brighton, Liverpool, Newcastle and United,

212
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: Nottingham Forrest has allowed twenty six point four expected goals

213
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 4: in those eleven matches. So I think this is a

214
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: fantastic matchup for Arsenal. I get the spot. Like I know,

215
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: Nottingham Forrest has had decent results against Big six clubs

216
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 4: at the city ground. But I mean the matchup is

217
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: terrible for them, trying to keep this Arsenal offense out

218
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 4: with a very poor low block like we've seen all season.

219
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 5: So like Arsenal minus one, can.

220
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: You can you stop our man? Tiwo? Can anybody snap them?

221
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: Red hot tai Wo?

222
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah? And I don't think anybody could stap them.

223
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 5: He wishes he was still at Yon Villain.

224
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: Well, he had to. He had to go to clear

225
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: the way for Shiraldo Becker.

226
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: That's true.

227
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: Uh, Champions League Anthony, where where are we going to

228
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: find you for this one? I feel like I feel

229
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: like the tricky trees they're calling your name here.

230
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: They are not at the current number, but I am close.

231
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: Uh you know, I think if I can get the

232
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: goal in a quarter, I will take forrest. I'm not

233
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: going to force a play just to have a play.

234
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: But I don't know how it's a good spot for Arsenal.

235
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: I think like this is the dream crusher in a way.

236
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: And when you when you talk about uh, situations like

237
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: the match after your your title dream dies, you have

238
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: to go on the road against a desperate relegation team

239
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: from a narrative standpoint. I don't like the spot for Arsenal.

240
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure that the number is good enough right.

241
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: I bet not even Forest plus one at home against

242
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: Chelsea in December, I bet United plus one at home.

243
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: I bet Forest plus one at home against United a

244
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Now it's Arsenal. So we keep

245
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: going up the ladder on the power rankings, on how

246
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: I have to bet these teams plus one against UH

247
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: or for you know, Forest plus one against Team X.

248
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: And so I really don't want to pay the tax here,

249
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: which I think you're getting a little bit of on

250
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: the number because of the spot for Arsenal. So I'm

251
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: going to be a stay away here, but it would

252
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: be forced and nothing for me if you if you

253
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: really want action on this match. I think the trees

254
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: don't match up well either disrupt Arsenal's build up enough.

255
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: I just think it's kind of tricky. But again that

256
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Arsenal defense continues to lead goals, and their performances away

257
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: from home and at home really have been so bad

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: defensively in the last two months that it's hard to

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: trust them laying big spreads.

260
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: They've won twice in what their last seven games, and

261
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: the quality of competition is I would say a little lacking.

262
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: Pretty pretty fortunate win against Newcastle. Only game where they

263
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: were truly dominant.

264
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: Uhla the Chelsea game. Yeah, and like you've given up.

265
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: They gave up two to Liverpool, two to West hamp

266
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: three to Southampton Florida City. I'll see clean sheet against Newcastle.

267
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: That's three to Brighton.

268
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: Newcastle with the post twice in that game and create

269
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: over one and a half XG. Like it was not

270
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: a comprehensive Arsenal win. This is the point, Like the

271
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: defense it's been, it's been really bad and it's interesting.

272
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 2: I should give credit. I'm gonna find out who said

273
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 2: it and come back to it. But somebody on Arsenal

274
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: Twitter that does a lot of analytics stuff basically did

275
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: the chart of like what happened to Arsenal because obviously

276
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: the defense is worse. Well, they're allowing about the same

277
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: number of final third entries, they're allowing about the same

278
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: amount of pass completions, but it's been box entries and

279
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: then just not being as efficient at defending the actual

280
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: penalty area. And it's something I've said earlier in the year,

281
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: which is like they're not going to keep up this

282
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: rate of defending their penalty area. They're allowing enough into

283
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: their box that the goals are going to start coming.

284
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: And they lose Saliba and I think his his loss

285
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: has really hurt. And now they lose Zinchenko for the

286
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: year too. So like there's a lot of holes in

287
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: this back line that make me think maybe we should

288
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: just bet the over.

289
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: Forced For me, I just don't think Arsenal's no, no,

290
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: it's not just a spot like they just they've been scary.

291
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: They've they've looked like they've looked a little like Tottenham

292
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: Hotspur has for patches this season. Let's talk about Spurs

293
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: minus won twenty odds on favorites against Brentford, the Bees

294
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: sitting around plus three thirty actually plus three hundred, the

295
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: draws plus two ninety. I've been Tony. That situation has

296
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: seemingly been finalized. Tony is suspended until January twenty twenty

297
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: four for breaching FA regulations about betting. Still like I

298
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: think year it's it's got to be Brentford or nothing

299
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: of the spot, Like Spurs are maddening, maddeningly consistent. It's

300
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, we've been trying to tell anent toy off

301
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: season that this team hasn't been good, but he just

302
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: kept fighting back on it, and I.

303
00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 5: Know he wouldn't.

304
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: Like they just wouldn't listen to us. They just would

305
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: not trying to tell us that they were just because

306
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: they were last year. And they'll turn the corner in

307
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: the corner, They'll turn the corner.

308
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: Everything will be fine.

309
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I did say they're more likely to

310
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: finish eighth and fourth, and they are in a tie

311
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: for seventh.

312
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: They are. They've got one win, four losses and a draw,

313
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: and they're last six matches. I feel like there's just

314
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: no pattern to how their games play out either. They

315
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: seem very I mean in part of it obviously is

316
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: turnover with man and gerial stuff, and I think that

317
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a transition in the squad,

318
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: and I just find that to be right for the

319
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: picking against a team like Brentford, which everybody they have

320
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: their game script every game and they play to It's

321
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: it's what makes them so dangerous in these spots against

322
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: bigger clubs. So, believe it or not, I'm on the

323
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: bees BJ. What about you?

324
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm passing you know, this is about the same

325
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: number that we saw Tottenham against Crystal Palace two weeks ago,

326
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 4: and you know Toddam created one expected goal, won the

327
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: match one nothing. So it basically has to be your

328
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 4: perception of what you think Brentford is without Ivan Tooni.

329
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 4: If they are similar to Crystal Palace and without Ivan Tooni,

330
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 4: I don't think Brentford is a significantly better team than

331
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 4: Crystal Palace at this point in the season. So I

332
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: have this number projected right on around where it is.

333
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 4: Like you said, Michael, the form for Totten, it's just

334
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 4: so weird back and forth. So there's just a lot

335
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 4: going on here that's you know, makes me very uncomfortable

336
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 4: to bet either side.

337
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 5: So I think this is an easy pass.

338
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: All right, Tony, what do you got not the under.

339
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: Tottenham played a really poor game against Villa. They continuously

340
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: tried to get Son and behind and he was offside

341
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: every single time. They played a midfield that was pretty

342
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: lack luster in terms of pressing ability, in terms of

343
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: passing ability, and they really were outplayed for like sixty minutes.

344
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: They brought on Basuma. Assuma is a much better presser.

345
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 2: They instantly got better with him out there, but like

346
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: the passing is just bad and Brentford's not going to

347
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: play that same high line that's gonna let them get

348
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: people in behind. So I really think Tottham struggles to

349
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: break down Brentford here. I think it's going to be

350
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: a very ugly game. The Bees counter attack is certainly

351
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: blunted without Tony. I know that, you know, I like

352
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: Lisa and Wayne has been fine, but he you know,

353
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: he's he's a goal every other game striker and just

354
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 2: taking him out is a significant loss. Brentford's biggest advantages

355
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: have been set pieces. That's where Tottenham's good, so I

356
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: think they kind of cancel each other out in that way.

357
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: I like the under If you go back to remember

358
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: they played on Boxing Day, Brentford went up to nil.

359
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 2: It was a really ugly match where Spurs could not

360
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: build out from the back at all, and Brentford actually

361
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: did some more pressing in that and then Spurs kind

362
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: of went more direct and kind of solved the problem.

363
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: I think Brentford will not be near is aggressive you're

364
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: away from home. I know there's the beach risk because

365
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: like Brentford's kind of done now, But I like the

366
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: under a two and three quarters. It's close to three.

367
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait a little bit to see if we

368
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: get maybe a little market movement and i can get

369
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: the three minus one three five. But I'm okay with

370
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: two point seventy five minus one oh five. I think

371
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: that's awfully high. I would have this close to two and.

372
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: A half, all right. Bournemouth next, they're plus four seventy

373
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: five at home hosting United minus two hundred on the

374
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: road to draw is plus three seventy five Bournemous on

375
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: the beach. United plenty to play for in this race

376
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: for the top four. That's got pretty interesting. Newcastle and

377
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: United on sixty six points. Newcastle please on Thursday. Liverpool

378
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: sixty five points and if you want to throw up

379
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: Brentford in there, go right ahead there at fifty eight

380
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: and would need a miracle. But excuse me, Brighton big,

381
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: all of us are kind of an agreement here that

382
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: there is a you know, you just kind of referenced

383
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: the beach tax, Anthony, and you meant it the other

384
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: way like or you're afraid of a team on the beach,

385
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: and I think that we're going to play into a

386
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: team like the must win tax here on United, which

387
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: looks a little short at minus two hundred against Bournemouth,

388
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 1: so I think I'll be on the cherries. They've been dangerous.

389
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I don't think a team like this is a threat

390
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: to be on the beach because, like you know, they

391
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: this has been a hugely successful season for them back

392
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: in the Premier League, defying the odds. And it's Manchester United,

393
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: so you're never going to be on the beach when

394
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 1: you're hosting United. I like the money line looks like

395
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: all three of us are in agreement on what side,

396
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: but you two, of course, will be playing a little safer.

397
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Well last home match of the year too. Yeah,

398
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: and it's against man United, so like you do, expect

399
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 2: it a good effort, good showing they're gonna give it

400
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: a go. United did get Rashford back in training, so

401
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: that's notable. But you know this comes down to the number.

402
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: For me, I only have them favored by about three

403
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: quarters of a goal, so I'm going to take the

404
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: full goal. I also don't hate playing the plus a

405
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: half because it is the kind of game where if

406
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: Bournemouth falls behind and United's able to get in their

407
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: transition ways, they can kind of you know, get at

408
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: Bournemuth in transition, which is where United is of course

409
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: at their best as always, but from a matchup perspective,

410
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: Cherry's attacks just been really good. And there's a lot

411
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 2: of pressure on United to win this match, and teams

412
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: tend to struggle under that kind of pressure on the road.

413
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: So I'm going to take the Cherries at home. Mostly

414
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: just the numbers play for me.

415
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, jump on in.

416
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, So this, I mean, Anthony's dead on. I

417
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: mean this is just must win tax inflated United, I

418
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 4: mean bourne myth. Since we got back from the World Cup.

419
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 4: Their offense has obviously been much better since January transfer windows,

420
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 4: since they retooled their attacks some money. Last seventeen matches,

421
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: they've created twenty three point two expected goals and they've

422
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 4: only scored nineteen of those, so they've actually underperformed in

423
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 4: that expected goals total. Is actually top ten in the

424
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: Premier League over that timeframe. And I think, you know,

425
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: this is something I've obviously said, but I think they've

426
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: kind of taken the blueprint that's made Brentford so successful.

427
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: It's just putting a big time emphasis on those transitional opportunities,

428
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: creating big scoring chances, not getting a lot of shots,

429
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: but also being incredibly efficient on set pieces. I mean Bournemouth,

430
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: they're top three an xte per set piece this season,

431
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: which is very impressive. Now, the defense overall has been

432
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 4: bad all season long, but they've been running.

433
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 5: Pretty bad lately.

434
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 4: They've conceded ten goals in their last six matches, off

435
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 4: to six point seven expected, and they're probably going to

436
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: sit back. They're probably not going to press United and

437
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: build up play, which would be a mistake I think,

438
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 4: because that's how teams.

439
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 5: Have given United a lot of trouble.

440
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: But Anthony mentioned if Rashford is out, I mean, Anthony's

441
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 4: been hit the nail on the head for weeks now

442
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 4: that the United attack has just so reliant on him

443
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 4: and without him, it's it's troublesome of how United is

444
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 4: gonna break down a team that's gonna sit ten guys

445
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 4: behind the ball and really defend their penalty area very

446
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 4: very well.

447
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, I agree with that, Athony.

448
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 4: I have United at minus one thirty six, so I

449
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 4: like Brentford or Brentford Bourne myth plus one at plus

450
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 4: one ten.

451
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anthony's been increasing his production you know, his shots

452
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 2: are up, his exg's up. It's not just long prayers.

453
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: He's also assisting more so, I've been impressed by Anthony

454
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 2: kind of settling in improving and really saving United at

455
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: times because Rashford has missed more matches the second half

456
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: and they've really made up for it. But yeah, it's

457
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: born with here. I really can't get anywhere near the number.

458
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: And one more thing to add United nineteenth and final

459
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 4: third penalty box conversion rate allowed. So that usually is

460
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 4: significant for teams, not only for teams like United who

461
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: control a lot of possession. A lot of those chances

462
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 4: are come in transition, so uh, kind of concerning when

463
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 4: you're facing a team that basically creates only in transition.

464
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Ball him in Palace in a beach ball.

465
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: I'll read up these need I need this. I need

466
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: this one. Yeah, I need I need, I need palace.

467
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: This is the one we have.

468
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 2: What over forty five and a half on p forty

469
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: six and a half.

470
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: I need this one really badly. I don't get it.

471
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: It's it's done, which you know, which would be mean

472
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: because you know Roy and by the way, I don't

473
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: know if you saw Michael. They're talking about stending Roy

474
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 4: one more year.

475
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, why not? He's a we haven't really seen what

476
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: he's got yet. I would say, right, Roy exactly like

477
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: you know, you don't you don't wanna, you don't wanna

478
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: be unsure and regret not giving him uh a fair

479
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: shake of it. Let's say, so bring back Roy this.

480
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 5: You know what this is like.

481
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 4: I mean, this is clearly like a situation where you've

482
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 4: been in a relationship with somebody, you break up, you

483
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 4: go your separate ways for about two or three years,

484
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: and then you know what, you reconnect and everything's good

485
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 4: for like a couple of months and you say, you

486
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: know what, let's get together just for a little while longer.

487
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 4: You know it was so good, and then you know

488
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 4: that's when things kind.

489
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: Of fall fall apart.

490
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: But you know what, God love them.

491
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 5: It's Palace's mistake to make.

492
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: Bullem's plus one forty five, Palas plus one ninety and

493
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: the draw plus two forty. I know you two will

494
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: be sweating Palace and Rudiferum, but none of us have

495
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: anything betting wise for this one. So we can move

496
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: to Liverpool and Villa the Reds minus two twenty three

497
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: hosting Uniamris Villa plus five twenty five. The draw is

498
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: plus four hundred. Liverpool's come alive down the stretch here.

499
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: They also announced that this will be I believe the

500
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: last home match for James Milner, Roberto Fermino, Naby Kaita,

501
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: Alex Oxley Chamberlain. I think I think that's it. And

502
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: they've kind of been just better defensively lately. I mean

503
00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: you look at their XG against numbers since getting an

504
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: April they they've just started to trend up in the

505
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: right direction. They've obviously won a bushel of games in

506
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: a row, up to seven on the spin. And we

507
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: know what this Villa, this Villa team is all about. Antony,

508
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: you're the only one with the play here. But I

509
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: would have you would have thought, like like four or

510
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: five weeks ago, I probably would have had the circle

511
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: as a Villa spot. But it does seem like Liverpool

512
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: is rolling and I'll focus my attention on a couple

513
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: other underdogs.

514
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had to bump Liverpool's defense because this tactical

515
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 2: change with Alexander Arnold is really working. Credit to Jurgen

516
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: Klop he's a pretty smart guy. He's a he's an

517
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: excellent manager. He knows how to get the best out

518
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 2: of his players at all times most times. And you know,

519
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: the decision to move Trenton to midfield has improved their

520
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: ball retention rate, so when they lose possession, their ability

521
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: to win it back before getting transitioned and getting destroyed.

522
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: It's improved because you know, when you have less from

523
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 2: Fabinho and Thiago and you need to cover for them

524
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: while putting a younger guy who isn't a great defender

525
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: but can run a little and do some defensive work

526
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: in the middle, and of course everybody knows how good

527
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: trending is going forward, it's put him in a more

528
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 2: advantageous space to be a productive attacker. Now I played Villa.

529
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: Now remember the first meeting between these two teams, Villa

530
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: was plus one at home. Now they're plus one at anfield,

531
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: which is kind of a point of how much the

532
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 2: market has risen on this Villa team. They played a

533
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: super high line, they were very committed to playing out

534
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 2: from the back and it was a disaster. I mean,

535
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: they conceded a ton of chances to Liverpool. They created

536
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: some of their own. There were chances at both ends,

537
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 2: for sure, but they were really struggling to play out

538
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: from pressure and Nunez was in behind seemingly every three minutes,

539
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: and so I think it's gonna be a big problem

540
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: because they tried the same thing aast Tottenham last week

541
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: at Spurs or at home against Spurs, and I just

542
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier, but like Tottenham was so cool

543
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: on like three separate occasions, and Toddham does not have

544
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: the midfield quality and the passing ability that Liverpool has.

545
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: So I took Liverpool first half money line. I think

546
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: they come out and buzz saw them at home and

547
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: I took some team total over two and a half

548
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: plus one fifty. Villa kind of needs to go for it.

549
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not really any reason to not. And

550
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: so I think as they try to continue to play

551
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: off in the back and get themselves back into this game,

552
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 2: it will only open up opportunities for Liverpool to get

553
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: out and transition, to run and to dice this team.

554
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: And it's one of the worst I think stylistic matchups

555
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: for Liverpool or for Villa on the road here. So

556
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the Reds. It'll be a one

557
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: nil game on a late winner now, But I think

558
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Liverpool scores early. You know, Villa, I think we'll get

559
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: on the board here, but I think it's like a

560
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: three to one Liverpool home win and they move closer

561
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 2: to seventy one, which is the magic number that I

562
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: think might be enough to get Champions League in next season.

563
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really tight. Liverpool's like plus one twenty

564
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 2: at most shops at top four, which is a little

565
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: low like it should be. It should be like one

566
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: sixty one seventy. But yeah, they're sitting at like thirty

567
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: thirty five percent right now, maybe closer forty, with a

568
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: chance to get into that top four. I think they're

569
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: gonna win their last two games and then will United.

570
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: It and they're gonna be Southampton. I like their.

571
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: Chances against Southampton. Yeah, okay, although I probably bet, probably

572
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: bet Southampton in that kid.

573

Speaker 3: The Shades rated five stars by over two hundred thousand people.

598
00:30:54,120 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: All Right, the headliner now Oolverhampton underdog plus one seventy five.

599
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: We got a dueling beach plus uh, you know, a

600
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: beach discount and a must win tax. Everden plus one

601
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: sixty at the mule and you the draws plus two thirty.

602
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen Everden beat Wolves

603
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: in my life. I just feel like they've just never

604
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: beat them. And boy is this one horrifying because of

605
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: the number, Like this is a type of game where

606
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: as an Everden fan, you'd think, oh, wow, like we're

607
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: favorites on the road. We should I should feel pretty

608
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: good about this. But as somebody who has been doing this,

609
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: which is you know, covering soccer betting markets for way

610
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: too long, now, I know why the number looks like

611
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: it does, and I know that it is a you

612
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: know you're paying at tax, But Anthony, you're not afraid

613
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: of it. You're not afraid to get there.

614
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: And Everdon Yeah, I really can't play everything I want to.

615
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: I like the spot, I like the matchup, but the

616
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: number sucks. I mean, pick them on the road at Wolves,

617
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: you're paying a huge tax here.

618
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: I think they are real Madrid, like exactly Madrid, Real

619
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Madrid plus one seventy in the spot.

620
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're they're on the beach now. But I

621
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: think this is just the classic example of like, if

622
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: Wolves go up early, could be a good opportunity to

623
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: hop in live on Everton on like a live money

624
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: line type situation, because you do see that as games

625
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 2: go on, you know, variants will get even bigger because

626
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: teams will will have to go for it. But this

627
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 2: is the god's example of like, oh, we want to

628
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: all bet Everton, but like so does the whole world

629
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: market knows it, So there's no real edge.

630
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 4: By the way, Real Madrid technically on the beach, but

631
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 4: not really because Athletico is two points behind them and

632
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 4: they would not.

633
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 5: Want them to finish ahead of them. Anthony spikee Beach,

634
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: I think.

635
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: You know, Wolves do a lot of defensive possession. Everton's

636
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: done a good job of breaking that up and so

637
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: that would be an interesting kind of contrast for styles.

638
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 4: But wait from yeah, well that's what Wolves wants you

639
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 4: to do, Like they want you to press and get

640
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 4: forward so they can play in behind and they can

641
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 4: do their combination passing and.

642
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 5: Get it out wide.

643
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 4: So like stylistically, it's actually for a team like Everton

644
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 4: who is not that great at counter pressing or pressing

645
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: high like a team in the top six would be.

646
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: It's actually kind of a terrible matchup. So I mean,

647
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: if this thing gets steamed where I'm getting Wolves like

648
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: pick them at like plus one twenty, I may have

649
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 4: to stare at that for a little bit. But I

650
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 4: mean they look like they did not care against United,

651
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 4: so we'll see.

652
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: And the other thing to keep in mind to here

653
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: is wh didn't you know Dominic Calvert Lewin picked up

654
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of a knock against Man City, so

655
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. Yeah, his iron Man streak is coming to

656
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: an end.

657
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 4: It looks like he'll bet him for gold We'll bet

658
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: him for Golden Boot next year.

659
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 5: Maybe he'll play for more than ten matches.

660
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and the championship he's going to be eyes

661
00:33:56,120 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: on to win it. Uh And Vitally Mikhlenko he's a doubt,

662
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: which means that we could see another center back play

663
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: left back. But at least here, I mean it's up

664
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: and at it. Anyways, Yeah, I think that the number

665
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: is just wait crazy, But I'm not betting Wolves here either.

666
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: Another relegation threatned team leads they're traveling to west Ham

667
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: to take on the Hammers, who are plus one thirty

668
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: seven and on the beach leads plus one ninety. The

669
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: draw is plus two fifty. I think the number on

670
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,959
Speaker 1: leads is a little short too. Like I, this west

671
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: Ham team is they're good, like they're just good. We

672
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: say it every week they've won, they've lost four or five,

673
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: but they are good like I It's it just is

674
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: what it is with them. They and I don't trust

675
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: Sam Allerdyce to be able to break this team down.

676
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: So pretty easy pass like between Fulham and Crystal Palace

677
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: and this one I felt like the easiest ones on

678
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: the board, So I'll be out of here. But becha,

679
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: you're actually willing.

680
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 4: To light Yeah, I mean technically obviously, goal differential is

681
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 4: like substantial, so it's not gonna happen like west Ham

682
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 4: six points from the drop zone with two to play,

683
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,320
Speaker 4: so yeah, they are safe.

684
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 5: But I mean this is just must win tax.

685
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 4: With a very very short number on a good west

686
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 4: Ham team against the Leeds. I mean, let's give you know,

687
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 4: let's give our guy Jesse Marsh some credit. You know,

688
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 4: I've been the leader in the charge to say that

689
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 4: he was unfairly fired and that he should never have

690
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 4: deserved to lose his job. Since they fired him, Leeds

691
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 4: has allowed two point zero one x G per match.

692
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 4: Under March they only allowed one point six y three.

693
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 4: So credit to Jesse Marsh and his great defensive tactics

694
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: at Leeds at being better than the combination of caretaker

695
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 4: managers having Grassia and Sam Allardice and listen, the spot

696
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 4: here is terrible for west Ham, but the matchup is

697
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 4: perfect for them because cause the pressure is gonna be

698
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 4: on leads.

699
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 5: They're gonna have to be aggressive. They're gonna have to

700
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 5: try to push forward an attack.

701
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 4: Because they have two matches left in the season and

702
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 4: then one point, honestly at this point is not good enough.

703
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: They need all three points so west Ham can sit

704
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 4: back in their low block and they can just play

705
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 4: in transition where they've been most effective. So and west

706
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 4: Ham this season, we know they've under achieved, but against

707
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 4: the bottom half of the table they have a plus

708
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 4: nine point five expectable differend They've been very good against

709
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 4: bad competitions. So Hammer's pick minus one forty.

710
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 5: I'll probably wait till match time.

711
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 4: If you follow me in the action work cap, it'll

712
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: probably sometime on Sunday. I want to make sure that

713
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 4: you know soycheck rise Poketa. All of the really good

714
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 4: west Ham players are actually playing in this match. It's

715
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: obviously depending on what happens with their Europea Conference League

716
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 4: tie with Al Kamar on Thursday, if they get through

717
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 4: that or not. So it's kind of wait and see

718
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 4: if we get a good Hammer's line up. If we don't,

719
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 4: I'll just pass and move on. But yeah, the numbers

720
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 4: way too much must win tax for leads making a

721
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 4: good number here on west Ham.

722
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing for me. It's the matchup potential

723
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: because they play Alkmar Thursday win especially. I think they

724
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: rest everybody like there's no reason to go for it.

725
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: And we saw them put out a very bad, very

726
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 2: very bad team on Sunday against Brentford and look awful,

727
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: got played off the park and so that potential just

728
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 2: makes it very hard to price west Ham. I just

729
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 2: can't do it, So I'll pass.

730
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: Southampton officially been relegated. They now travel see you.

731
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 2: Twenty goals they lost to goalkeeping this year. Twenty goals.

732
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 2: I've never seen that.

733
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: And then yeah, you know what's crazy is we were

734
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: talking so much about Danny Ward at the beginning of

735
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, the Bazooon was.

736
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: Just they just never benched him. And that's the thing

737
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 4: is like Leicester benched Danny Ward. They went for Iverson

738
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 4: and they just said enough is enough. But apparently Southampton

739
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: just you know, still believe in the young talent they

740
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: spent fifteen million dollars on. So we'll see what he

741
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 4: does in the Championship. But yeah, I mean, what was

742
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 4: the last time Southampton's been the Premier League for ten years?

743
00:37:59,320 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: Now?

744
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: Close to that.

745
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 4: So we'll be seeing some new blood here coming up

746
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: because there's the potential that or I guess there's potential

747
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 4: at all three of the promoted teams last year we'll survive.

748
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 5: So we'll see.

749
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Probably will yeah, probably will Coventry and Luton in the

750
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

751
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 4: Gluten is in dirty old Luton's in that match.

752
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: A friend of mine was at the riverside for Comentries

753
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: when he's a Comentry supporter.

754
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 4: So that's mid brow, honestly, very sad, like they were

755
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 4: going to be a really fun front.

756
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: Sixteen point six goals is the number of goals that

757
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: Gavin Bazooknu cost Southampton in that that.

758
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 4: Is so we kept saying this and this is funny

759
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 4: because if you go back to later podcasts, I think

760
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 4: I said maybe like seven times that if he does this,

761
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 4: he will be historically the worst goalkeeper in Premier League history,

762
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 4: and you'd think he'd regress towards me. No, he actually

763
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 4: was the worst goalkeeper in history.

764
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 5: So it happened. So what are you gonna do?

765
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: They tell you what you can they're gonna do. They're

766
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: gonna play Brighton. They're gonna be twelve to one underdog.

767
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: Brighton's minus five hundred and the draw is six to one.

768
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: Did you ever think we'd see the day Brighton minus

769
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: five hundred with a non with not Grand Potter in charge,

770
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: and you presume a playing for Tottenham like Troussard is gone,

771
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: Mopie is gone, Oh pie is you know they're building

772
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: him a statue.

773
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: Ben White is gone like gosh and Waypoo's gone?

774
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 2: Like how can you not?

775
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: How can you not? I know, how can you not

776
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: bet Southampton at this number? No?

777
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 2: Thanks pass?

778
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 5: This is why? Yeah, I mean this is an easy.

779
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: Past twelve to one.

780
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: I mean, what is south not even like the last

781
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 2: home match where you can be like, oh, I mean.

782
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 5: Here's here's what here's the case.

783
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 4: Is what happened to Brighton against Nottingham Forrest and against

784
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 4: what was the other team today, Everton never too and

785
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 4: was a team of this style like Southampton that you

786
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: know will play deeper and then just try to, you know,

787
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 4: win a couple high turnovers and get going in transition.

788
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: Like that's the recipe to beat Brighton and Everton and

789
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 4: Nottingham Forest have shown that. But you actually have to

790
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: be good defensively in your low block to actually keep

791
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 4: writing out. So yeah, I mean, if you're gonna do

792
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 4: anything like maybe a Southampton reverse run line, it would

793
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: be nice if you can find that. I don't know

794
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 4: if the book's even going to offer that, but yeah,

795
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 4: just chase something big on Southampton would be my recommendation.

796
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean, McCarthy's a goal now, I think, but yeah, awful,

797
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 2: he's been off just in time. He's been awful as well, so.

798
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 1: They could use your man, Fraser Foster.

799
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 2: I mean, he would be in goal for anybody either.

800
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 2: He was so I mean he cost me the under

801
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: in the Spurs match. He took him like eight minutes

802
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 2: to realize that the free kick was going to his

803
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: left and then he couldn't get there right.

804
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: Uh, let's just move on Monday night football. It'll be

805
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: interesting spot here for Leicester because if there's ever a

806
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: time to not want to be playing Monday night football,

807
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,919
Speaker 1: it'd probably be this one. When you're in the thick

808
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: of the relegations. Bite. Obviously, they're nineteenth. They are on

809
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: thirty points, one point behind Leads who are in eighteenth,

810
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: two points behind Everton and four points adrift of Nottingham Forced.

811
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: All these teams have two matches to go, So Leicester's

812
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: gonna watch Forced play Arsenal. They'll watch Everton and Wolves,

813
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: they'll see Leeds and west Ham. They'll they could be

814
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: they could be toast if they lose this match to Newcastle.

815
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: But I guess you can flip in and say, oh, well,

816
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: that's good because at least they'll know if they, you know,

817
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: need a win or whatever, or if other teams have

818
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: lost and they have got a chance. But all that

819
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: aside Newcastle's battling for top four. They might as two

820
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: seventy five Leicester plus six fifty the draws plus four

821
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: to fifty. And I don't unders I can't see a

822
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: way that Lester doesn't give up a ton here. The

823
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: only thing that I they have going for them is

824
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,479
Speaker 1: that Newcastle is playing a midweek game and it gets

825
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: Brighton so and I mean that's at home, so it's

826
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: not like they're traveling from the South Coast up to Newcastle.

827
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: This is back to back home game. So you'd like

828
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: to make a case for a team battling for relegation

829
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: at this kind of number, or battling off relegation this

830
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: kind of but I just can't do it, Bej, what

831
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: about you?

832
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is an easy pass for me.

833
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 4: You know, I was looking at the total, but it's inflated,

834
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 4: so there's nothing I can really do here. It's I mean,

835
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 4: it's a terrible matchup for Lester, you know, trying a

836
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 4: team that wants to play out of the back, a

837
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 4: team that needs to build up, that really isn't a

838
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 4: transitional type team going against the Newcastle press that can

839
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 4: just bully you and set those dusting traps and really

840
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: cause a lot of havocs. So you know, I project

841
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 4: Newcastle right around where they are for this match.

842
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's I think this is just a very very

843
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 5: easy pass.

844
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: For not only you know, with an inflated total, and

845
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 4: after Lester's performance against Liverpool on Monday.

846
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 5: I just I don't. I mean you can kind of

847
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 5: just see it on their.

848
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,399
Speaker 4: Faces that they kind of know what's coming because their

849
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 4: scheduled to finish is very very difficult, So easy pass

850
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 4: for me.

851
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: You know what's funny here is that if let's just

852
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: say the results go against Leicester over the.

853
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 4: If ever Everton wins, they're done.

854
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: Will need a win, right like they need to win.

855
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: And this team already plays suicide ball and they they

856
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: even do more more chaotic. So it's yeah, it's sad

857
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: like seeing the one of the you know, the the

858
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: last team not in the Big Sex to win the

859
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,919
Speaker 1: Premier League title finally leaving them promarily giving.

860
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 5: It's sad.

861
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: They're gonna gonna be a huge I mean, the amount

862
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 4: of offloads from Leicester this this summer are gonna be crazy.

863
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 5: Let them go down the championship.

864
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 4: Be interesting to see where Tilamn's and Madison end up.

865
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it is said, you're.

866
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 2: You're right, losing losing Ianacho is important. I think they

867
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: lost him. He didn't play against Liverpool.

868
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 1: I think losing losing might end up being what cost

869
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: him it. If you think you know what I.

870
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: Know, Yeah, they be not firing Rogers early enough.

871
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I.

872
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: Mean they're they're certainly more talented than eighteenth. I mean

873
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 2: we all had them bottom half. But like we were

874
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 2: we were saying, I don't think any of us thought

875
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 2: like relegation. Maybe they'd start in that way, but then

876
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: they would fire Rogers sooner.

877
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 1: Uh.

878
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 2: They have improved their attacking output, but I don't really

879
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: buy it.

880
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

881
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm kind of skeptical of it because now you know,

882
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 2: they had those matches against Wolves and and uh and Everton,

883
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: where like they had all of the good attackers on

884
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 2: the pitch at the same time, and like Jimmy Vardi

885
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 2: had like his Swan song. But and then they went

886
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: down three nail in the first half of Fulham and

887
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: it's like, okay, we kind of just through shit at

888
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 2: the wall. But I'm not really buying this attack being

889
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: any good. So, and that's against the Newcastle defense that's

890
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 2: still very good in themselves. At Newcastle, I'd be tempted

891
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: to look at up both teams to score.

892
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 4: No, here, I'd be tempted to look at a Jamis

893
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 4: golden boot and the champion.

894
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done.

895
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: Speaking of the championship before we move on to Bundesliga's

896
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: Ashley Barnes has left Burnley for North City. So thank

897
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: you for everything, Ashley. It's gonna be weird to not

898
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: see you play for Burnley. Okay, Bunliga, Anthony, great call

899
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 1: in my uh blod black last week almost got that one.

900
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: What do you have for us here?

901
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 2: We were down four nil. It was actually quite a

902
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: dramatic finish. I don't know if any of my they

903
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 2: went down four to nil inside a half hour thirty

904
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 2: five minutes. So I turned it off and I got

905
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 2: the goal alert. It was four to one. I said,

906
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 2: you know what, let me put this on. We score

907
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: again to make it four two. We hit the post

908
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 2: to make it four to three. I'm like, all right,

909
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 2: push whatever. Don't really deserve to win nine to one.

910
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: Never had a chance in hell. Four to two, they

911
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: commit a foul as time expires, like ninety fourth minute.

912
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they're gonna to take the free kick.

913
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 2: Royce hits the free kick right at the goalie Olschevsky

914
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: drops it raina tap in five to two plus two

915
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 2: loses one of my bigger bets of the month. So

916
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 2: that was not fun. The Foals are still dead to

917
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 2: me and I may they may get relegated next year

918
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't even care. What. Yeah, there's gonna be

919
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: a big problem with this team, I think come next season.

920
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that in August. But they're losing a lot

921
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 2: of talent this summer. But I am excited for this weekend.

922
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: I mean, we're essentially just the title. Byron could slip

923
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: up against Colon in the last weekend. I'm skeptical of

924
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: that mattering. Long's kind of beached at this point. But

925
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 2: Byron against RBI Leipzig, Dortmann goes to Osburg. The Byron

926
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 2: wins this, I think it's it. If they drop points,

927
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: then Dortmann needs two wins in the final two weeks

928
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: to do it and pull it off the seemingly impossible.

929
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: Now Leipzig is not going to just roll over and

930
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: hand them the title. I was not impressed by Leipzig's

931
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: performance against Verte Bremen last weekend. They are definitely feeling

932
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 2: the pressure themselves and trying to compete for this top

933
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 2: four spot, but they need the points. They can clinch

934
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 2: top four with a victory, or really with one victory

935
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: in their last two matches. They would clinch top four,

936
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: so they play Shock at home the last week. They

937
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 2: also have the Cup final coming ups. But this is

938
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 2: a big match for Leipzig. I think they're a little

939
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: bit undervalued by I like the under more. Leipzig did

940
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 2: a really, really good, impressive job in the last meeting

941
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: between these two teams of keeping Byron out of transition.

942
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: If you remember, you go back to the first match

943
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 2: they played earlier in the season, different manager, different approach.

944
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 2: They were much more chaotic and it played right into

945
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,439
Speaker 2: Byron's hands and they got pantsed in those moments and

946
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: it was not competitive whatsoever. They lost five to three.

947
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 2: Score kind of flattered them in a way. Now, the

948
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: second meeting, once Rosa came in and Roses had a

949
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: lot of success against Byron in the past. He held

950
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: them to about one expected goal in a one to

951
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: one draw. It was one of the better performances coming

952
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: off the World Cup. Yes, but I think you have

953
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: to look at Leipsig plus one and the under here

954
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: in that one. I think you're paying the tax on

955
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 2: Byron for sure.

956
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: B J.

957
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Liipsig plus one in this matchup. I

958
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 4: think it's actually a good one for the you know,

959
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 4: what Anthony outlined is that you know, in the meeting

960
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 4: right after we came out of the World Cup, they

961
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 4: kept Byron out of transition. They let them have the

962
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 4: ball over sixty percent of the time, and Byron didn't

963
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 4: really create much against them, Like it was a very

964
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 4: very good performance. They Byron only had one shot with

965
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 4: the next year rating over point one. And listen, I mean,

966
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 4: Marco Rosa has done an incredible job at arby liipstick

967
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 4: this season.

968
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 5: Since he took over. They have a.

969
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 4: Plus one point one point one non penalty expected gold

970
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 4: deferential per ninety minutes. They're allowing point eight one non

971
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 4: penalty expectables for ninety under him. So this is a

972
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 4: very very good defense that we've seen many times, especially

973
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 4: you know, I know they conceded seven to Manchester City

974
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 4: or whatever it was, but like they've been good when

975
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 4: they've had to face better attacks. And for Byron, I

976
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 4: mean it's a different approach from Tucchell, Like it's much

977
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 4: more possession oriented, a lot more build up play, not

978
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 4: so much in transition. And what Tucchell is having problems

979
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 4: with is he doesn't really he doesn't have a true

980
00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 4: number nine that he can play up top and something

981
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 4: at the obviously mentioned many times in this podcast, but

982
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 4: Chipo Motang's hurt. So you know, in the in the

983
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 4: loss to Minds, he tried to play Mueller and Mane

984
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 4: up to as a front two. I mean they created

985
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 4: decent number of chances, but you know, it's something that

986
00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:17,839
Speaker 4: then the next match he plays Mane up top. Then

987
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 4: after that, last two matches he's played Gnarbi up top.

988
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 4: Like It's just there's so much tactically going differently for

989
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 4: for Byron here and Tuccil also is trying to find

990
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 4: the right build up structure for for Byron to you know.

991
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 5: Get back to what Byron was.

992
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,720
Speaker 4: And the expected goals numbers are still fine, but facing

993
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 4: a team like Leipzig that can defend the way that

994
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 4: they do and how good they are in transition, it's

995
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 4: a great matchup here for Leipzig. So, I mean, I

996
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 4: only have Byron projected at minus one thirty one, so

997
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 4: Leipzig plus one at even money for a team that

998
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 4: really has only been you know, point three or excuse me,

999
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 4: point five expected goals worse than Byron this season, it's

1000
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 4: it's a pretty decent number here on Leipzig.

1001
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: Okay, La Liga not as exciting as Bundesliga, but that's

1002
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: where we're going next. Anthony, what do you got Yeah?

1003
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 2: I like Gerona pick him at home against Viial. Viril

1004
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,279
Speaker 2: had a rousing home win against bill Bao last week

1005
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 2: in a very even back and forth contest that was

1006
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 2: wide open. Since Setiena has come in, they have not

1007
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 2: been a very good defensive team, and I think Unai

1008
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: has done it again because really since he's come in,

1009
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: they are an average team in Spain defensively and look

1010
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: actually below average twelfth now in La Liga since setien

1011
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 2: came in for Emery, and I really don't like the

1012
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: matchup against a Gerona attack led by Tati Castianos that

1013
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 2: has in the upper half, and you know, both teams

1014
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 2: here are still going for a chance at Europe. Viial

1015
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: has an outside shot at catching Sosiadad. They're likely headed

1016
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: to their own league, and then Girona is looking like

1017
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: a conference league birth if they can hold off build

1018
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 2: out as soon as Sevilla. There's a chasing pack behind them,

1019
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 2: so this is a desperation home spot for them, and

1020
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 2: at home as a dog, I don't really see that

1021
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 2: much of a difference between these two teams in the

1022
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 2: last in the set ten minutes only. These two teams

1023
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 2: are like four goals apart over the course of about

1024
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 2: fifteen matches, so there's not a huge gap here. I

1025
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: will take the dog at home Dno Bett, What.

1026
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 1: About you, Bjay Yeah.

1027
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 4: I like a little relegation six pointer on Friday afternoon.

1028
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 4: Cadiz and Real Valid Lead. If it weren't for LJA

1029
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,240
Speaker 4: and Almeria, these would be the two worst defenses in Spain.

1030
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 4: Both of them are allowing over one point six expected

1031
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 4: goals per ninety minutes and neither is showing many signs

1032
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 4: of getting better. I mean Valid A Lead has been

1033
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 4: especially bad. They've conceded twenty point seven expected goals in

1034
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 4: their last nine matches, and these two teams set up

1035
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 4: very very similarly in how they actually have success offense.

1036
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 4: Like Valid, the Lead has played five different formations in

1037
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 4: the last six matches and all of them are basically

1038
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 4: designed to just attack in wide areas. They for the season,

1039
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 4: they have the third lowest percentage of their attacks going

1040
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 4: through the middle of the pitch, so Bad Lead naturally

1041
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 4: is ninth and completing crosses in the penalty area, while

1042
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 4: Cadiz has allowed the second most into their penalty area.

1043
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 4: Cadiz is just your typical bottom half of the table

1044
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 4: La Lega team where it's just four to four to

1045
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 4: two defensive block look to play in transition, get the

1046
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 4: ball out wide swinging crosses, which they are top seven

1047
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 4: in swinging crosses in the penalty area, while valid the

1048
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 4: lead is thirteenth in defending them and Cadiz, I mean

1049
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 4: they've been one of They've been one of the worst

1050
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 4: offenses in La Leaga all season long, but they've run

1051
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 4: cold lately, you know, do for a little positive aggression.

1052
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 5: Three goals in.

1053
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 4: Their last six matches off of six expected. So with

1054
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 4: two teams attacking in wide areas primarily playing in transition,

1055
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 4: can't really defend either of those things either. I think

1056
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 4: it's going to create a very back and forth encounter.

1057
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 4: So like over two goals or two and a half

1058
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 4: goals at plus.

1059
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: One twenty Syria, Ah, BJ, and I mean set it

1060
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: and forget it.

1061
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 2: Just said BJ, How are you betting this?

1062
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 5: Wow?

1063
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1064
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 4: You see the two teams that are playing this smash Anthony.

1065
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're laying a goal with Roma, who is yeah, against.

1066
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 5: The worst team in Italy.

1067
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1068
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm laying the goal Roma minus one against Salernitana,

1069
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 4: so I get the biggest underperformer against the biggest overperformer, Like,

1070
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 4: come on, this is perfect and like Roma no, I know,

1071
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 4: Joseph says he doesn't care, like that they weren't going

1072
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 4: to get top four, but like they're still battling for

1073
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 4: a Europa League spot, like it is a very.

1074
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: They're battling for the Europa League.

1075
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 4: I know, but they need to qualify for the Europa

1076
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 4: League next season. Anthony okay, gosh against the bottom half

1077
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 4: of the table this season, Roma plus one point one

1078
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 4: expected gold differential per ninety minutes, only allowing points seven

1079
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 4: to seven expected goals per ninety minutes. And that's because

1080
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 4: we've said it so many times. They are the best

1081
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 4: team in Europe at defending their penalty area and they're

1082
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 4: also very good at defending and transition, having good defensive structure.

1083
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 4: It's a staple under Josie Mourinho and Salernitana. I know

1084
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 4: they own me. I know Ochoa owns me. But they

1085
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 4: have the worst expected goldifferential in Syria A and it's

1086
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 4: a defense that doesn't provide much resistance coming into the

1087
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:17,760
Speaker 4: final third, which is good for Roma, who's been bottom

1088
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 4: half of Syria A in terms of their build up

1089
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 4: play and playing through pressure twelfth in offensive pass per

1090
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 4: defensive action. Salini Town is also one of the worst

1091
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 4: set piece defenses in Syria A, which is a big

1092
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,840
Speaker 4: no no against a team like Roma managed by the

1093
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:35,760
Speaker 4: great Jose Mourinho. So with Roma still battling for Europa

1094
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 4: League spot, Anthony, they will care about this match and

1095
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 4: this line is far too short. So give me Jose

1096
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,799
Speaker 4: Mourini and Roma minus one at minus.

1097
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 1: One thirty, Anthony, I don't know how you can follow

1098
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: that one up.

1099
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: I can, honestly, I'm truly stunned. Lazio and Nesse are

1100
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 2: within about eight goals of each other this season in

1101
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 2: terms of XG difference. I know Lazio has done this forever.

1102
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 2: I need to ask people that are smarter than me

1103
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 2: to figure out what the hell Latsia is doing. It's

1104
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 2: been able to do this for so long because it

1105
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 2: truly is incredible. They have a plus five XG difference

1106
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 2: plus twenty six actual. They've just been remarkable. They go

1107
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 2: on the road, though, to d essay pressure spot on

1108
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 2: the road, Esse has been about as average you're going

1109
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: to get in Syria. But they are good at playing

1110
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 2: through pressure and I've been impressed by their their their

1111
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 2: pace on the outside especially, so I'm gonna go with

1112
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 2: them at home. I project this pretty close to a

1113
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,279
Speaker 2: coin flip, and so the fact that I get to

1114
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 2: plus a half, I'm gonna take it.

1115
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Beja, you're the only one with anything in league.

1116
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, real quick here, Claremont Foot plus a half against Breast.

1117
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,959
Speaker 4: Breast needs this win to secure their spot in league

1118
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 4: on next season while Claremont Foot is on the beach.

1119
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 4: But and listen, I crapped on this Claremont Foot team

1120
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 4: at the beginning of the season. Credit our credits due

1121
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 4: since we came out of the World Cup plus zero

1122
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 4: point six non penalty expected go differential Breast over that

1123
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 4: same time frame minus eleven. Clearmont Foot also number one

1124
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 4: in France in final third to box entry conversion rate allow,

1125
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 4: which usually signifies a team that is at least decent

1126
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 4: in defending a transition where that's basically where Breast needs

1127
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 4: to get all of their attacking outputs. So I have

1128
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 4: this match projected pretty close to a pick them, So

1129
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 4: you're just getting a lot of must win tacks on breast,

1130
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 4: So I like Clearmont foot plus a half at minus

1131
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 4: one thirty five.

1132
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 1: Okay, onto our underdog parlay so close last last week we.

1133
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 4: Got one of the four Champions League Sandwich spots.

1134
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were close.

1135
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 2: Fortunately Glodbach, Everton and Spurs. What they were outscored by

1136
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 2: a combined seven goals I think seven goals, Yeah, which

1137
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 2: means we're due.

1138
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, where we are to go the other way and

1139
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: we'll go with you first BJ.

1140
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1141
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:09,200
Speaker 4: How about a nice little hangover championship hangover bet against

1142
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 4: Barcelona who has one La Liga associate AD plus three

1143
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 4: thirty really, you know, even if Barcelona cared about this match.

1144
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 4: Obviously the number is very short because Barcelona has one

1145
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 4: La Liga. But I'm expecting them probably to rest a few,

1146
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 4: quite a few guys and Associated as a team that

1147
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 4: is very good at disrupting build up play. They're near

1148
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 4: the top of La Liga and pass the per defensive

1149
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 4: action opponent build up completion percentage allowed and high turnovers,

1150
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 4: which is something you have to do if you want

1151
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 4: to beat Barcelona. So we may see a rotated squad

1152
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 4: from Barcelona. Associated needs this match because they are five

1153
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 4: points clear of top four with four to play, so

1154
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 4: a point here, even three points would be absolutely vital

1155
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 4: to them to get into the Champions League. So associate

1156
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 4: ad plus three thirty for a nice championship hangover from Barcelona.

1157
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Notdingham forced their plus fifty hosting

1158
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: Bjay's Arsenal. This is a lot to do with the spot.

1159
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 1: Arsenal just had their hearts crushed in a three nil

1160
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: loss to Brighton last weekend. Title race basically decided, but

1161
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: it's also about the form of Arsenal. Three draws, two

1162
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: losses and two wins in their last seven matches, and

1163
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: in those seven matches they played Liverpool, west Ham, Southampton City, Chelsea,

1164
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: Newcastle United and Brighton. Not exactly the hardest run of

1165
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: matches there. Gave up three to Southampton, gave up two

1166
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: to west Ham, two to Liverpool, four to City and

1167
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: three to Brighton's defense has been trending down since the

1168
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: World Cup and it's bottomed out lately, so I think

1169
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: Forrest can give them some trouble here and look it

1170
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: must win spot here for the tricky trees battling relegation.

1171
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: They'll be up for it. They've pulled some stunning results

1172
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: already the season, So give me Steve Cooper and Forrest

1173
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: at four fifty. It's my favorite underdog. Anthony.

1174
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna take Utonesse three to one at home

1175
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 2: against Lazziolatzio. Coming off they draw with Letcha and a

1176
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 2: two nail defeat at Milan where they were the worst

1177
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: the clearly worst team in both games. You know they've

1178
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 2: outrun this regression forever seemingly. They have only one one

1179
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,959
Speaker 2: of their last five, though, and I think they're gonna

1180
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 2: be the biggest Fadue candidate next season. They're one of

1181
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 2: the oldest teams in Italy. Could be potentially running out

1182
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: of gas here as well. I like Udinesse at home

1183
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 2: in a must win Lozzio spot. You're paying the tax

1184
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:40,479
Speaker 2: and they lose this, then it gets interesting for top four.

1185
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:44,439
Speaker 2: If BJ's Roma or Melon could get a win this weekend,

1186
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 2: they still have three matches to go in Italy. They're

1187
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: gonna have the extra week as well.

1188
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: So pretty short part lay for US here. Ninety four

1189
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: to one if those three teams come through feels good.

1190
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: I will say this, I feel like we're gonna hit

1191
01:00:56,400 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: either this week or in the finale next weekkend. We'll

1192
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: see which one, Michael.

1193
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 4: Though, even if we do one hundred more episodes, we're

1194
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 4: still probably in the black.

1195
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the good news.

1196
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of it.

1197
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 5: That beauty of this.

1198
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 4: Is like people are like, man, man, you just can't

1199
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,400
Speaker 4: hit one of these parlays. Well, we hit the two

1200
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 4: hundred to one. So we talk about.

1201
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Five dollars every week full disclosure, So you know, I'm

1202
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 2: not putting you know, coffee money, coffee a week on it,

1203
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 2: and if you win, you have you know, ninety four coffees.

1204
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: I don't even drink coffee, so really it's just all

1205
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: banks profit.

1206
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 1: He's an Apple Apple truice guy. All right, onto our

1207
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 1: best bets for the Premier League this weekend, Bjay, we

1208
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 1: can go with you.

1209
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 4: Arsenal minus one minus one twenty on the road against

1210
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 4: Nottingham Forrest. Really, you know, Arsenal's title hopes are probably over,

1211
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 4: but coming into this match they will still at least

1212
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 4: be alive for the Premier League title and the matchup

1213
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 4: is really good for them. They've been one of the

1214
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 4: best teams in the Premier League get breaking down low

1215
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: blocks this season. Two point zero six expect goals tiny

1216
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 4: minutes against teams that typically play low blocks, and for

1217
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 4: a team like Nottingham Forrest that is not going to

1218
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 4: try to come out and disrupt Arsenal's build up play,

1219
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 4: it makes it very, very difficult when Arsenal's compressing five

1220
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 4: guys on Nottingham Forrest's back line and they're gonna have

1221
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 4: to defend all of Arsenal's attackers in and around the

1222
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 4: penalty area. So I think this is a decent spot

1223
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 4: here for Arsenal. They have gone through some injuries, but

1224
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 4: Nottingham Forest has been really bad against some of the

1225
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 4: better offenses in the Premier League, allowing twenty six expected

1226
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 4: goals in eleven matches against the top six offenses.

1227
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:33,520
Speaker 5: So like Arsenal minus one and minus one.

1228
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Twenty, we're gonna go with Brentford. They have three to one.

1229
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: They're taking on Tottenham Hotspur, and if you look at

1230
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: these two teams, I think that one you just have

1231
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 1: not been able to figure out all season. They haven't

1232
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: been able to figure themselves out all season. That is

1233
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Tottenham results all over the place. The defense has struggled

1234
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 1: mightily since the beginning of April, and this Brentford team.

1235
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: They punch up better than anyone. Say it all the

1236
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: time every week, even without Ivan Tony. I think that

1237
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: this beast team taking out a vulnerable Spurs team on

1238
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: the road is still fine. So I'll take my bees

1239
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: baby plus three hundred, Anthony, you can bring us home please, Yeah.

1240
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Liverpool first half money line Liverpool team

1241
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 2: total over two and a half plus one fifty. We'll

1242
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 2: make each a half unit for the tracking purposes. I

1243
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 2: like this matchup for Liverpool. I think they're gonna get

1244
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 2: a ton of chances in behind Villa's defense. They're going

1245
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 2: to create a bunch of high turnovers at anfield, They're

1246
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 2: gonna apply a ton of pressure and I am willing

1247
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:32,439
Speaker 2: to think that this Villa team and this magical run

1248
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 2: they've been on, which included a ton of winning, has

1249
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 2: them playing way over their skis. We're at the all

1250
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 2: time market high rating on Villa right now, and there's

1251
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 2: only one place to go from there.

1252
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: There is only one place to go from here, and
