Just a quick look 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: at the forum. This is all competition City win, win, draw, win, win, 38 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: draw win, Spurs win, draw, win, win, draw, win win. 39 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: Both teams off and running for the season. City's offense 40 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 2: creating two point four expected goles for per match in 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: the Premier League, but Spurs in terms of the overall 42 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: play not terribly far behind plus zero point seventy five 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: expectacles differential per ninety. I think it comes down. I 44 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: say this a lot when when two teams like this meet, 45 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: like you could just boil it down to this simple equation. 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: Is Spurs a good enough team that getting six and 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: a half to one on the money line is worth 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: a sprinkle? And I think the answer is that's yes, Anthony. 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 2: You're Spurs tragic. You're wearing a Spurs kit even though 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: you are a Liverpool fan. Spurs tragic, Liverpool fan, break 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: this one down. 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think this is you know, what 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 4: Spurs are built for in a lot of ways under Conte. 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 4: It's how they've played, and it's how they've played. You know, 55 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: maybe as a fan, I'm not too happy when they 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: play this way against mid table teams. When you're going 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 4: up against Manchester City. They've kind of built themselves as 58 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 4: a team who defends their penalty area really well, who 59 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: will seed possession in non dangerous areas, who will let 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 4: the opponent tilt the field on them, which is exactly 61 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: what City wants to do. And they will then with 62 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 4: their direct counter attacking ways and their passing patterns, they 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 4: will play through and take advantage of City's high press, 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: get in behind, create chances. And look, it's not a 65 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: coincidence that Spurs effectively did this to City in both 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,119 Speaker 4: meetings last season. They effectively have done it for years 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: to City, even going back to the Marino era. You 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 4: remember back when they played you know, prior to the 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 4: pandemic in twenty twenty or Spurs beat City two to one. 70 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: Back in the twenty twenty one season. In November, Spurs 71 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: beating City to nil. So this has been a bit 72 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: of a bogey team for City. Ask any City fan, 73 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: they'll tell you. And the thing that was most encouraging 74 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: was that the last meeting, it wasn't that City you 75 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 4: know got you know, soccered and created a crazy amount 76 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: of chances and Spurs scored their only two shots. As 77 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 4: a tradition of their prior matchups, Spurs created three, four 78 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: or five big scoring chances. And yes they won it late, 79 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: but City really struggled to get high profile looks Now, 80 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 4: I don't think that'll necessarily be the case in this 81 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: game because City now they're Earling Holland. But we're looking 82 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 4: at the two best strikers in the prem right now 83 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: based on XG per ninety Earling Holland over one just 84 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 4: insane Harry Kane at point five to nine thus far 85 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: this season. Very impressive start for Kine, and Son has 86 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: accumulated the most expected goals in the prem without scoring. 87 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 4: Son does have an occasional finishing slump in him and 88 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: he's in one right now, but I'm not too worried 89 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 4: about that. We're Charlston's backing the goals, playing great two 90 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 4: goals today against Marseille and the victory. So I think 91 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 4: this is a very favorable matchup for Spurs to be competitive. 92 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: I love the plus one and a half at minus 93 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: one twenty and I will be sprinkling the money line 94 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 4: as well. I don't think they'll win this, but City's 95 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: defense still showing some flaws to me. You know, maybe 96 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 4: not against Sevilla, who's old and washed in the midfield 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 4: and doesn't have any good players anymore, but you look back. 98 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 4: I mean, there are teams have troubled this City defense 99 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: in certain areas and those are the exact areas that 100 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 4: Spurs can take advantage of with parisig Ra, Charleston so them. 101 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: So I like it. I think it's a great matchup 102 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: for Spurs to keep it competitive. 103 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, a city we're behind in four of their previous 104 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: six matches going into that aston Villa game, and then 105 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: they lost two points from a winning position. So it's 106 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 2: it's not just that they're Look, the City defense is 107 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: going to be the best in the world when we 108 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: start in April. We're going to be talking about their 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: expectacles against numbers being absurd and this is the best 110 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 2: team in terms of x G and big chances against 111 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 2: so whatever. But they're not there yet, and when they're 112 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: before they get there is when you want to try 113 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: to pick your spots. And I'll say it again because 114 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: I think it bears repeating Tottenham right now, third best 115 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: team in the maybe the second best team in the 116 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: Premier League, because your other team, Liverpool, they're terrible six 117 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: and a half to one on the money line. BJ 118 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: Is it that simple or am I overlooking something here? Uh? 119 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? 120 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 3: I mean the thing about City is it's funny. I 121 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: think defensively, it's you know, if you if you watch them, 122 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 3: you see some of the flaws, right like you see 123 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: you watch the Newcastle match, you watch how many times 124 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: they were able to get in behind the high line 125 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: and create chances. But I mean overall on XG they're 126 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 3: allowing you know, half and half an expected goal per match, 127 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: so there's still like numbers wise, there's still a good defense. 128 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 3: But like Anthony said, like you watch them like there's 129 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: just still something weird, something kind of wrong with their defense. 130 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 3: I agree with everything Anthony said. I am actually gonna 131 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 3: instead take the under three goals at plus one five. 132 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 3: I agree with Anthony that Conte is probably gonna sit 133 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: deep and just look to counterattack City. It's worked in 134 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: the past, why not do it again. You look back 135 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 3: to the let you know, the closest time to where 136 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 3: Tottenham actually played a team that was going to dominate 137 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: possession in the way that City did. 138 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: It was against Liverpool towards the end of last season. 139 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: A lot of you know, I know, Klopp complained a 140 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: bunch about how Tottenham played in that match, but it worked. 141 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: So it doesn't really matter how you play as long 142 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 3: as it works. So I look for top them to 143 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: sit deep here. I looked for them to prevent City 144 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: from all these big, big scoring chances. I mean, Hollin's 145 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: been on fire, so I would expect taught theam to 146 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: play pretty conservative, you know, for the first at least 147 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: forty five minutes of this match. But I mean from 148 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: a projection standpoint, I only have two point six to 149 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: six goals projected. I mean toddams along under one expected 150 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 3: goal per match to the first six, only three big 151 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: scoring chants allowed. So the defense is playing really well 152 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: and they've already played a match against Chelsea. So for me, 153 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: I'm going under three goals at plus one oh five 154 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: and the is a decent price. 155 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: I mean, let's look at the attacks that City have 156 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: played too. You know, West ham Bourne, myth Palace, Forrest Villa, Sevilla. 157 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: That's all but one match, and I don't think any 158 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 4: of them would be considered above average Premier League attacks. 159 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: You could maybe make the case that Crystal Palace is 160 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: up there, and Palace scored two early goals, so the 161 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 4: whole game state was thrown off. They were just defending 162 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 4: for their lives. The only team who I think you 163 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 4: could argue and should at this point argue, isn't above 164 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 4: average attacking team is Newcastle, who created one point eight 165 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: expected goals and tore them apart. So I think they're 166 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 4: like you mentioned, there are little flaws that a team 167 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 4: of Tottenham's quality should be able to pick apart, and 168 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 4: I think they're going to in this matchup, and I 169 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 4: don't think it will be the first time. I'm fading 170 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 4: City in the next two weeks, so this is unfortunate. 171 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 4: We're gonna step on the pain train here, going. 172 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: To score right in our face. 173 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: Oh yes, probably two. 174 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 4: One City is fine with me, Like, I'm okay with that. 175 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: Just not a team player at all. 176 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: But I mean when Son scores his first goal. I 177 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 4: mean one of my friends is a big City fan here. 178 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 4: He saw the tweet that was like Son has accumulated 179 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 4: the most xgu without scoring in the prem pencil in 180 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 4: Sonny for two goals on Sunday. 181 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Hang on, he over performed at like six goals last year. 182 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: But he does it every single week. He does it 183 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: every year. Son has overperformed every year. He's a pro. 184 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 4: And the thing about it is he always scores and 185 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: seems to score bangers against Cities. So that's why, you know, 186 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: does that predictive? No, but like it is interesting and 187 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 4: probably going to happen. So one will score on Sunday 188 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: or Saturday rather and Spurs. We'll luck box a result here. 189 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be a Spurs Sun same game, parlay 190 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 2: with Sunny to score one West thing before we move 191 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: on to Fulham and Chelsea's both teams have played pretty 192 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: easy schedules. I would say Chelsea is the only kind 193 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: of tough one that Spurs played, but they also have 194 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: the spine that can cope with Holland, like Eric Dyers, 195 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: a physical, physical center back ro Romero and then Hoiberg 196 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: in the middle. Like this is a team that kind 197 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: of relishes those kind of Yeah, so I wonder if 198 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: Holland is kind of just has this quiet game here 199 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: and that turned the city back into what they were 200 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: last season, and that's when Tottenham really thrived. So just 201 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: a weird matchup thinking there, all right, this is going 202 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 2: to be a lot to unpack here. Fulham plus three 203 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 2: thirty on Saturday morning, seven thirty am, Chelsea odds on 204 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: minus one twenty five at bet three six five. The 205 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 2: draw here is five to one. Thomas doukle Be. Yet 206 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: you called it. You said on our Champions League previous. 207 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: This is the worst thing that's ever happened. 208 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: You said it, you said he's going to get fired. 209 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 210 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 4: I was enjoying fitting Chelsea the earlier than the season. 211 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: I was. 212 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: We had we share a sheet that we kind of 213 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 2: go down the list of every game and we all 214 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: write in the games that we want to talk about 215 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: the bets we're going to make. And right when Anthony 216 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 2: refreshed the sheet, I went to this game, jobbed down Fulham, 217 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: saw the news erased Fulham. I'm gonna be staying away 218 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: from this one now, real quick looking at the stats 219 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: before it handed over to one of you guys. Fulham 220 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 2: to two and two, nine goals four nine goals against 221 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: bang average really fun, but their last three matches. This 222 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: is what we were concerned about with this team coming 223 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: into the season was will their defense be able to 224 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: handle the Premier League marathon seven point six expectacles against 225 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: uh tough schedule, Arsenal, Brighton and Spurs. But kind of 226 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: a little little worrying. So the prices is not high 227 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: enough on Fulham, even at home, even with Chelsea in 228 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: bits and pieces, It's just not It's not high enough 229 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: to do it. This is still a newly promoted side 230 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: going up against one of the best teams in Europe 231 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: at plus three thirties. Not not enough for me. BJ 232 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: Penny for your thoughts here, this is sad. 233 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: I mean, we've loved Brighton so many times the market 234 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: under valued them so many times under Graham Potter because 235 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,719 Speaker 3: of how great he set his teams up and now 236 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: all that's gone, like it's. 237 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: Just over gone. 238 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 3: Yet they have not hired Grandpa we gotta it's gonna 239 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: be announced. 240 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: By the time people listen. 241 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 3: Who knows, Yeah, by the time people listen will be announced. 242 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 3: But I mean, let's talk about Chelsea for a second. 243 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: How weird this The timing of the sacking was they 244 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 3: spent the most money in the Premier League during the 245 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: trans window and then six days after it shuts they 246 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: fired Tuchel. 247 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: Just strange. It makes me think that Bowlie doesn't really 248 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: have a plan right now. 249 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: I mean what soccer owner does. 250 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: There's like four yeah, and then he just ever did 251 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: have a plan. 252 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: And it's just funny because you know how out of 253 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: touch billionaires are. He just lied to everybody's face and said, 254 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: oh no, the Dino Zagara match had absolutely nothing to 255 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 3: do with it. So they just beat Wess and now 256 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: you're just gonna sack What if they beat him? 257 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: Five? Nothing? What you have been sacked? 258 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: No, that had been he would not As far as 259 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: this match is concerned, I have no interest in playing this. 260 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 3: I mean, I had Chelsea at minus won sixteen, so 261 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: you know minus one twenty five. I'm not really gonna 262 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 3: play that either. We can talk more about when Potter 263 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: takes over Chelsea because I think he actually does have 264 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 3: a lot of pieces to make his system work really well. 265 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: But I mean it's an end of an era. 266 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 3: You know that the Brighton era is is probably going 267 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: to come to an end unless, like I don't know 268 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: if they're gonna find another manager like him. So yeah, 269 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: it's just sad because nobody got more out of less 270 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: than Graham Potter in the Premier League. So he'll he'll 271 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: probably be amazing at Chelsea. You know, as an Arsenal fan, 272 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: that sucks because now they're probably gonna be awesome. 273 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: It's it's just sad. I was hoping that this would 274 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: go on forever. 275 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 3: But you know, all good things, all good things must 276 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: come to end and end, I guess, but it'll take 277 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: it'll take some time for him to set up Chelsea. 278 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: But yeah, as far as this match is concerned, no way. 279 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: I mean Fulham defensively, they've played three big big six sides. 280 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: They've allowed eight big scoring chances in those matches. You know, 281 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: they've They've created under one expected goal on all one 282 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 3: er one non penalty expected goal in those three matches 283 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 3: against Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham. 284 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, I am one thousand percent passing on this. 285 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: And I am just really really sad that that grand 286 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: Potter is gone from Brighton. 287 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: Anthony, anything for you here Fulham Chelsea? 288 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: Uh? 289 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 4: Well, you know I said last pod we could talk 290 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: more about Chelsea on the weekend pod, and here we are. 291 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 4: And I'm not sure about Potter at Chelsea. Like, I 292 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 4: think he'll be good, but I don't know that the 293 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 4: system is in place. There's nobody running, there's no director 294 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: of football, there's nobody in charge of recruitment, there's nobody. 295 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: Bringing He's bringing that guy with him? 296 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 4: Is he bright So that was getting an encouraging thing. 297 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 4: But didn't they also just lose their other guy Brighton 298 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: to Newcastle yep, So so there's a lot of. 299 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 2: Did it matter? I mean, look at the way they 300 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,119 Speaker 2: started to sell what they did. 301 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: They didn't really add anybody though they got Purvis. Yeah, okay, 302 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 4: copy of right. Kind of my point though, with regards 303 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 4: to this Chelsea full of match you mentioned it with Fulham. 304 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: I think this is a good spot to where the 305 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: market has caught up. Fulham got a lot of steam 306 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 4: against Arsenal. They got a lot of steam against Spurs. 307 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 4: Covered the spread in both matches, probably didn't deserve the 308 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: Spurs one. But you are seeing some of the cracks 309 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 4: and like nobody expected them to be a top half team. 310 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: They are going to regress a little bit here now 311 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: and I don't think you're getting the best of the 312 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 4: market number on Chelsea to fade them. With that being said, 313 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: who's managing Chelsea on Saturday? 314 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: I think it's Anthony Barry who's been there for a while, right. 315 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 4: But Tukel also is like multiple of assistants were gone, Yeah. 316 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 2: Well, it's just going to be a street care. It's 317 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: not gonna be Frank Lampard. As badly as they want him, 318 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: he's our guy. 319 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: So there are some question marks about like how do 320 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 4: the players respond, what were the players? How do they 321 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 4: feel about two col versus this outsider who just came 322 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: in and kind of shook things up and fired him, right, 323 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: So there's a lot of uncertainty at Chelsea. I don't 324 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: think you can just bank on a new manager bounce 325 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: for this team. With that being said, I also think 326 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 4: they're much better than a negative expected goal difference team, 327 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: so they're probably going to regress positively anyway. So when 328 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 4: it does happen, we can't just say, ah, it was 329 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 4: all two goals fall, when in reality the truth is 330 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: probably in the middle somewhere. 331 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: Speaking of Graham Potter's old team, Brighton, their odds on 332 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 2: on the road minus one twenty five in the South 333 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: Coast Darby, they're taken on Bournemouth plus three eighty. The 334 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 2: draw here is plus two sixty charity. For as much 335 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: as as much flack as Bournemuth has got this year, 336 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: they have seven points. They got two wins, that's two 337 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: more than ever did and a draw. I get the 338 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: two wins obviously one Forest. 339 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 4: Against non Big six matches. 340 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what So firsty, First Verst City, Arsenal 341 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: Liverpool zero goals for sixteen goals against on six point 342 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: eight expectacles allowed. They created under one expecta gole in 343 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: those three matches. And then against Wolves Villa and Forrest 344 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: five goals for two goals against three point four expectacles 345 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: against in one point nine four so still a minus 346 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: one and a half expectable difference across those street matches 347 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: and any factor in the Potter stuff with Brighton, And 348 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: one thing I do think people like bj can have 349 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: some faith in is this is such a well run 350 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: club that they know this has been coming. They've known 351 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: this has been coming. Everyone was assuming that Potter was 352 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: going to take the England job right after the World 353 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: Cup when Southgate's contract retired, so they. 354 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: Thought he was gonna take the Spurs job. 355 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: They had a plan for koukarea, They've had a plan 356 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: for Basuma when he left. Like, this is not a 357 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: club that kind of reacts. They are very proactive that things, 358 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: so I wantn't be too worried about that. That said, 359 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: like if this isn't a terrible spot for Bourne, myth, 360 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: I don't. Once again, I don't think that the number 361 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: is high enough. We're looking at a very similar line 362 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: to the one we just talked about with Chelsea and Fulham, 363 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: with the Bournemouth money line a little higher because the 364 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: draw is much lower in this one. But I wouldn't 365 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 2: call anybody crazy. And I bet on Bournemouth against Forrest 366 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: and Wolves won one and the one was a draw. 367 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: I wouldn't call anyone crazy for taking a shot on 368 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: Bournemouth here at home against a team that just had 369 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: the Because this has been a team is all about 370 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 2: continuity and everyone being on the same page. They just 371 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 2: had that all disrupted for the first time since Potter 372 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: really came in. So that's where my head is, Anthony, 373 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: Bournemouth and Brighton. What about you? 374 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 4: From a number point of view, I actually have a 375 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 4: little bit of value on Bournemouth, which I did not 376 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 4: expect going into this match. This is a classic Brighton 377 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 4: against the bottom table, you know, team away from home. 378 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 4: They have struggled in these fixtures. Bournemouth have shown decent 379 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 4: resolve defending there, but like you mentioned, the underlying numbers 380 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: are still extremely concerning. Yes, they've scored five goals in 381 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: the three games against fellow average to below average teams, 382 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 4: but they've only created one point nine XG from those matches. 383 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: There's not a good attack here. They failed to create 384 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: a single more than one XG in a match this 385 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: season based on fb refs numbers. One model had them 386 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 4: at one last match, so that was against Forrest. So 387 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 4: you know you're looking at it and you're like, all right, 388 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 4: how does Bournemouth on the board. I'm not really seeing 389 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 4: too much of that against this Brighton defense, which is 390 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: still going to be excellent. I don't think they're just 391 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 4: going to fall apart instantly because Potter's gone. I think 392 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 4: you may see a gradual decline. And it also I 393 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 4: think from a Brighton point of view, the attack has 394 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 4: run really hot. I mean, does anybody really expect Brighton 395 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 4: to continue to produce over one and a half, expect 396 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 4: the goals per match to convert at the rate that 397 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 4: they have thus far this season. Yes, okay, they're due 398 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 4: for probably a good, good run of finishing, but I 399 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 4: don't necessarily expect that either, So I would immediately look 400 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 4: toward the under in this game. Problem is, I thought 401 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 4: i'd get two and a half because Bournemous defense has 402 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: been so bad. But it's a two point twenty five, 403 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 4: so it's just a lean to the under for me. 404 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: But if it gets to you know, two and a 405 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 4: half one twenty one twenty five, even minus to the under, 406 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: I would fire. Right now, it's sitting around minus on 407 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 4: forty one forty five. It's a little too steep for me, 408 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 4: but I would lean toward the under here otherwise I'll 409 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: be staying away. I don't like either side on the 410 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 4: money line horsepread. 411 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bournemouth the only team not to create a big 412 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: scoring chance yet this season. 413 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: Patient you could almost luck. 414 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 4: Into one of those come it'll should be able to 415 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 4: luck into one two. 416 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 3: But they they've prevented, you know, in three of there. 417 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: In those two in the matches where they haven't played 418 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: a big Sux side, they haven't allowed a big scoring 419 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 3: chance either. 420 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 2: So they're very much like a poor man's Burnley from 421 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 2: two or three seasons ago. 422 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: Chelsea should have hired Sean Deitsch. I'll say it, Hey. 423 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 2: Maybe Brighton'll hire. 424 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 4: Imagine if Brighton. 425 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: Hired yeahright, bright Brighton Brighton is. 426 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 4: I would never bet on them again. 427 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: That's your that's that's your own problem there. I would 428 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 2: Brighton are forty to one to be relegated. So if 429 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 2: you truly think that the Graham Potter situation is a disaster, 430 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 2: that's that's what you're looking at. I'm not not endorsing it, 431 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: i am. I am just letting the people know what 432 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: their odds are. Speaking of relegation, Lester at Villa Leicester 433 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 2: plus one forty at home Villa plus one eighty seven 434 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,360 Speaker 2: on the road at Bet three six five. The draw 435 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: here is plus two fifty Bourne with are still the 436 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: massive favorites to be relegated. Then it's not enforced or 437 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: minus one fifty Leicester plus one seventy five now so 438 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: they are the third favorite, just ahead of Frank Lampard's 439 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 2: Everden who were two to one, Fulham plus two twenty five, 440 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: Southampton three to one, Leeds plus three fifty and then 441 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: there's Villa four to one, so you could call this 442 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 2: a relegation six pointer. Villa's season has not gone well 443 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 2: and I think that we might have saw a little 444 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: smoke and mirrors coming off of the city situation. They 445 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 2: draw one one by just parking the bus effectively, you 446 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: have to say they were effective. They took their chance. 447 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: But that was a third straight match for Villa, granted 448 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: against a tough schedule west Ham Arsenal City where they 449 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: created under one expected goal. They've created point two expected 450 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: goals in their last two matches Arsenal and City. So 451 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: for all les there's problems preventing scoring chances over the 452 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: past couple of seasons. This isn't the offense is going 453 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 2: to threaten them, So I do think that there's maybe 454 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 2: a smidge of value here on the Foxes. I'm just 455 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: not going to get involved BJ. What about you. 456 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: I think it's time to play a Lester under here. 457 00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: I think this is a good spot for it. 458 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: I mean they've been they've been very unfortunate defensively, sixteen goals, 459 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 3: loud off around a little over nine expected. 460 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: A lot of that has to do. It's just terrible goalkeeping. 461 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 3: I mean, Danny Ward has been a minus four point 462 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: four post shot x G plus minus this season, like 463 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: through six massage. That's really, really, really bad. So either 464 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 3: he's the worst goalkeeper we've ever seen in the Premier League, 465 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 3: or he's going to regress to. 466 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: Somewhere around average. 467 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: My bet would be on he's going to regress somewhere 468 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,439 Speaker 3: to round average. Now, the last match, Lester decided to 469 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 3: play Ianacho and Pat Sendaca up top and they actually 470 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 3: looked a lot better rather than just throwing Vardy up 471 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: top and not have him not getting any shots. But 472 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 3: with that being said, Lester is still only averaging point 473 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 3: nine to three non penalty expected goals per match, they're 474 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 3: taking under ten shots per match, and they've only created 475 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: two big scoring chances in total on the season. So 476 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 3: the offense has been horrible. Now, aston Villa's to your point, Michael, 477 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 3: they've been playing very defensive. I mean last season or Jerrard, 478 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 3: they were not a good offense. They were one point 479 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 3: one five x g per ninety. They've created four point 480 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 3: five expected goals in six in their first six matches 481 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: and outside of the match against Everton they haven't created 482 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 3: a big scoring chance. So I mean defensively, like they're 483 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: solid in the midfield, and they're solid at the back, 484 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 3: like they're not a horrible Premier League defensive team like 485 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 3: they are top eight so far this season and box 486 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 3: enters allowed, progressive passes and dribbles loud and crosses allowed 487 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: in the penaltya a slightly above average defense in the 488 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 3: Premier League. But with how bad both these offenses have 489 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 3: been so far this season, I think this is a 490 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: good time to play an under. I only have two 491 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 3: point three three goals projected, so at bet three six 492 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: five you can get under two and a half goals 493 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: at even money. I think that's a good price to 494 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 3: play the first Lester under of the season. 495 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 2: Funny thing about about Danny Ward is oftentimes during the 496 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: season previews people just kind of mention the goalies and 497 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 2: passing in soccer, because yes, they're part of the team 498 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: and whatever, but there's it's so unpredictable how they'll play. 499 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 2: You see it in hockey as well, and every time 500 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 2: you listen to whether it's us other podcasts talk about 501 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: Leicester City, Danny Ward's name got brought up like he 502 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 2: could be really bad, and then you're like, people are 503 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: probably just overreacting here, and he's costing points, which is 504 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,159 Speaker 2: pretty funny because it's not that it's hard to do 505 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 2: for a goalkeeper to do that in the Premier League, 506 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: but you're getting the twenty, you know, maybe twenty of 507 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: the best thirty five goalies in the world in the 508 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: league and he's definitely not one of them. Anthony, your 509 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: thoughts here. You bet Villa every week? You just keep 510 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: doing that. 511 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 4: I have not. I have not bet Villa the last 512 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: few weeks. 513 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: But club you're alive. 514 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 4: By the way, Tom Midland's club is actually decent. I mean, 515 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 4: well won last week, that's not great, but Doors lost. Look, 516 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: I think my Villa six to one to finish seventh 517 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 4: is dead. I don't know what to say anymore. What 518 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 4: I will say is I wanted to bet the under here. 519 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: I will probably bet the under if Vardy starts, but 520 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 4: if it's Daca and Ionacho again, that concerns me enough 521 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 4: about Lesser's attack to stay away from the under. However, 522 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 4: I am betting asked in Villa, I think they should 523 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 4: be a favorite in this match. Look, I understand that 524 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 4: Villa have been horrible and their underline numbers are not 525 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: that encouraging. They've created one expected goal in their last 526 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 4: three matches and they've conceded four point five in that 527 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 4: same timeframe. But Lester's midfield is completely broken, whereas I 528 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 4: think Villa's issues, I continue to believe that Villa's issues 529 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 4: are more solvable. I think there's more buy in with 530 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 4: the manager, the team is less stale, and I am 531 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 4: a much firmer believer in both the defense and somewhat 532 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 4: other less convincingly now with Martinez a believer in the 533 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 4: goalkeeper than I am compared to Lester. Also, Villa have 534 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 4: a good set piece you know, on paper would have 535 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 4: a good set piecing type team. It hasn't quite come off. 536 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 4: They've had a couple of chances, one got varred off, 537 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 4: one was ruled out of play. So they've had a 538 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 4: couple of close calls on set pieces Ward. Another big 539 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 4: issue with Ward. This was a Schmichael problem, it's now 540 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: a Ward problem. He's really bad at coming off the 541 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 4: line and claiming the ball, and if you're not confident 542 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 4: in the air, that's a major issue defending set pieces. 543 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: Villa do have some big bodies they can put in 544 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 4: the middle cause some problems for this lesser defense. I 545 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 4: have yet to see a solution for Leicester City's problems. 546 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 4: I also don't think that Leonacho Vardi Daca will have 547 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 4: the kind of space in behind they did against Brighton 548 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 4: because Villa is not going to play that kind of 549 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 4: same high line, especially on the road. So I like Villa. 550 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 4: Here another shot with the Villa syndicate. I took the 551 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 4: drawa bet. I think they should be favored and their dog. 552 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 4: They have taken some money though this came down. They 553 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 4: were plus two hundred. Now we're down to plus one 554 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 4: eighty one eighty five. I still like Villa on the 555 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 4: drawn no bet line at plus money. 556 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 2: Liverpool just got pasted by Napoli. Just pasted by Napoli 557 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 2: in the Champions League. Now they are minus four hundred 558 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: at home against Wolverhampton ten to one at Bet three 559 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: six five the draw here is five to one. This 560 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: is another ten am kickoff. I think everything number wise, 561 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 2: if you're looking at like XG you're looking at big 562 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: scoring chances, You're not going to see any like glaring 563 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 2: issues with the Liverpool statistical profile. You're not like nothing 564 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 2: that's going to say like, oh this this team is 565 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 2: bad whatever. The one thing that is concerning is a 566 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: lot of that is I'm talking like overall picture. A 567 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: lot of that is inflated by a nine to nothing 568 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 2: win against Bourne, myth. And there is one thing that 569 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: does stick out, which is how terrible they've been pressing 570 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 2: and against pressure, which is their bread and butter. The 571 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: midfield is still a mess. Joe Gomez was taken for 572 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 2: milkshakes by basically everybody on Napoli today. Jrgen Klopp looks 573 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: like a cat on a hot tin roof. He's he 574 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: doesn't really know how to punch his way out of trouble. 575 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: So I don't think that. 576 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: And Wolves have been all right, like they've been wolves. 577 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be on it one point one better than 578 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 2: I thought. Yeah, they've been. I think I think we 579 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: all were kind of saying tipping them for maybe the 580 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 2: third or fourth worst team in the league at the 581 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: brutal large Revolution is one year too late. One point 582 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 2: one seven goals total goals for matching Wolves matches. 583 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 4: Boy, what you had My worst beat of the year 584 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: last weekend until today, which was that that Chay Adams 585 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 4: miss where all he had to do was was headed 586 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 4: into the empty net as the ball was falling onto 587 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 4: his head and he whipped and then hit his arm 588 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 4: and fell into the And I was watching live and 589 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 4: I was like, I didn't just have they counted the goal. 590 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 4: I was like, that's not gonna count? Is it like 591 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 4: that just happened? And then they ruled it out. The 592 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 4: Saints both teams to score. Wolves overs died right there, 593 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 4: never to be seen again. 594 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be out Wolves. I think at ten to one, 595 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: I think is good enough. Fear just I'm Liverpool. I'm 596 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 2: just going to keep probing this Liverpool team. Let's see 597 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 2: where the bottom is. The market's I know, That's what 598 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying. 599 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: Why want Why aren't. 600 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 4: The market has not budged? 601 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 2: So then why aren't you guys? 602 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. Because Thiago's back. 603 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned it early. 604 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: On one of the earlier podcasts like he makes such 605 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 3: a catastrophic difference for this Liverpool team. I mentioned it 606 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 3: the splits. Liverpool was point six to six x g 607 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 3: per ninety allowed with him on the field last season. 608 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 3: Without him, there one point four early returns. This season 609 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: if you take out the nine to nothering match against Bournemouth, 610 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: Liverpool's allowed six point five expected goals to Fulham, Crystal Palace, United, 611 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 3: Newcastle and Everton. Not exactly a murder's row of offenses there. 612 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 3: So he came on in the second half Agains Napoli 613 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: when the game was already completely out of hands, so 614 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 3: you can't really put it factory. In the oh, nap 615 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 3: they created like four expected goals against Liverpool. If he plays, 616 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 3: he makes Liverpool just so so much better in the 617 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: midfield because it just doesn't work with Jordan Headerson and 618 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 3: James Milner, but klop just continues to go with it. 619 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 3: So I am going to play something that I haven't 620 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: really played for a while with Liverpool, especially without Bet. 621 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 3: You know how shaky their defense has been. I'm gonna 622 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: play both teams to score no at minus one fifteen 623 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 3: because the gos back I mean Wolves is they're just 624 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 3: they're just not a good offense. 625 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how else we can describe it. I 626 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: mean they're. 627 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 3: I mean we're at what, you know, only two matches 628 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 3: over one expected goal. I mean, they're One thing I 629 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 3: will say about Wolves is that this could end up 630 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,719 Speaker 3: being the type of match because if you remember this 631 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 3: match last season, uh, when I think it was happening, 632 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 3: you know, the one before that, themal A New Wolves 633 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: just basically packed it in for like the entire match, 634 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 3: and Liverpool created like four expected goals and scored in 635 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: like the ninety fifth minute to win one nothing. I 636 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: think we can see something similar to that where Wolve's. 637 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: Just packs it. Now. 638 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: They have been like they have been a top ten 639 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 3: pressing team this season, which is not something I expected 640 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 3: because they basically just sat in, uh and didn't press 641 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 3: at all last year, And so that could make them 642 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: a little better defensively. I mean they're only allowing a 643 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: little over one non de only expected goal per match. 644 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 3: Like it's been a good defense, and Nathaniel Collins looks 645 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: pretty like he's helped the defense quite a bit. So yeah, 646 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 3: I mean I have both team to score no protected 647 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 3: at minus one fifty nine. So I'm gonna try and 648 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 3: play both teams to score and no because I don't 649 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 3: really think I don't think Wolves is creating over one 650 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 3: expected goal if the Ago is playing. Now, if the 651 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: IGO's out, I'll probably just I'm probably gonna wait until 652 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 3: match time to see if he's actually playing, because you know, 653 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 3: he did come on for a few minutes, but Klopp 654 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: could hold him out a little longer. So both team 655 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 3: to score no minus won fifteen for me is where 656 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 3: I'm going in this one. 657 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: One thing about this team is like if you remember 658 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: two seasons ago when Liverpool was dealing with a bunch 659 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 2: of injuries, which you know every soccer team deals with 660 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 2: injuries overseason. It's not like last year where you can 661 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: go a whole season and none of your guys could 662 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 2: get with them. 663 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 4: That's rare. That wasn't really true though. 664 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 2: They struggled though they like like they didn't. They were 665 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 2: good still, but like it's it's They're just not a 666 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: team that I feel like there's such a well oiled 667 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: machine when everybody's in the right spot. They've lost Saudio Mane, 668 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 2: they've lost their midfield to injury, they've lost one of 669 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: their center backs, to injury, Like there's just enough issues 670 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 2: here where if you're going to be dealing these numbers 671 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 2: on them even though you're going to lose more off 672 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: and then you're gonna win, Like it's just worth let's 673 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: see what Let's see where it goes. So that's that's 674 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 2: uh my handicapping strategy with the Steam right now. Worked 675 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: with Napoli today. 676 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 3: And they better hope that Thogo plays because Henderson is out. 677 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,239 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, Oxley Chamberlain's out, Kate is out, Like, 678 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: they don't really have much in the midfield if the 679 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 3: AGO's not there. 680 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: Like I think this is really interesting because as much 681 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 4: as this is about the midfield, and I really do 682 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 4: think it starts there. Like most Solid took two shots 683 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 4: today and they were down the whole match. Virgil van 684 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 4: Dyke did not look like has not looked like normal. 685 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 4: Virgil van Dyke. 686 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: Well, the refs are calling, reps are calling him for 687 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 2: penalties for the first time. 688 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 4: Yea, it is crazy. They've conceded what four penalties this 689 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 4: year now after zero last year in the prem The 690 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 4: most interesting thing is is that And I said this 691 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 4: on last year's preview pot one of the first shows 692 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 4: we ever did, which was, Hey, like Liverpool's core is 693 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 4: kind of old. What if they got old and then 694 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 4: they had like an incredible season, dominated everybody, and like 695 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 4: we're the best team in the world at a point, 696 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 4: second best team in the world for sure, But now 697 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 4: it looks like they kind of got old. And that's 698 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 4: that's a major and right, And that's the biggest thing 699 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 4: with Thiago. It's not as much as Thiago is amazing, 700 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: he is, but like the drop off between him and 701 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 4: everybody else got a lot bigger. Now they're starting Harvey Elliot, 702 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 4: who doesn't do a lot of defensive work. They I 703 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 4: think they they started for Mino today because Klops worried 704 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: that Nunia doesn't do a lot of defensive work. So 705 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 4: if for Mino's in there, maybe you get some. 706 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: Of that five million defensive work and not really much production. 707 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 4: Nunia has fifteen shots and two matches in the prep. 708 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 4: But but uh, like if they start Nunias, I think 709 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 4: this is an interesting over game and I will probably 710 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,719 Speaker 4: be betting the over. Otherwise probably not that interested in this. 711 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 4: I do think Wolves can create some problems. Wolves losing 712 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 4: Sasaka to an a cl tear, Yeah, that's devastating. But 713 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 4: they signed Diego Costa, which is incredible. 714 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 1: He's going to solve all the problems. 715 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 4: In fact, Diego Costa has never gotten a red card 716 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 4: in the Premier League. Seems hard to br. 717 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: Man. Yes, and you know that have got a red card. 718 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 2: Who shouldn't be playing this game is Virgil van Dyke 719 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 2: for the tackle on Onana last game. 720 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 4: Let's let's move on to an orange card. I'll be 721 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 4: looking to play the over here if anything, but we'll 722 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 4: be waiting for lineups. I thought it was very interesting 723 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 4: that that Klopp decided not to play Nunia or Jota 724 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 4: today and stead opted for you know he was injured. 725 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know he but then he was. He's 726 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,719 Speaker 2: been on the bench for three games now and and 727 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 2: just I guess they're easing it back in Golden boot. 728 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: Take a look at looking green. 729 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a good bet. Southampton plus one twenty five, uh, 730 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: Brentford plus two ten on the road. The draw here 731 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 2: is plus two fifteen another tenny and kickoff on the 732 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 2: season right now. Brentford two three and one fifteen goals 733 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: for that number surprised me, by the way. If you 734 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 2: ask me how many goals has Brentford scored the season. 735 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 2: I probably would have said six games nine and thought that, oh, 736 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 2: that's pretty good offensive output for the team. Yeah, fifteen 737 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 2: nine goals against, ten point two expected goals for, seven 738 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: point seven against Saints two to one and three windra 739 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: all lost seven goals for, ten goals against, five point 740 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: seven and six point eight expectacles four expectacles against, respectively. 741 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 2: The thing I like about this is Brentford under Thomas 742 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 2: Frank has proven pretty good. They have a pension for 743 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: creating big scoring chances. Southampton under Ralph Hassan Hudul have 744 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: a pension for giving up big scoring chances. So it's 745 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 2: a decent matchup. I think Brentford is a better team. 746 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: You're getting them in a decent number, even on the 747 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 2: road here, So plus two ten at bet three six five, 748 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 2: I'm in back in on the b's. I feel like 749 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: I haven't bet them up this season, Anthony, what do 750 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 2: you got? 751 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 4: Saints are kind of like Wolves in the sense that, 752 00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 4: at least from a midfield point of view, they're feel 753 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 4: tilt numbers and they're pressing numbers, and their ball progression 754 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 4: numbers look pretty good. Uh, they are not that of 755 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 4: a team who's getting absolutely you know, dominated in matches, 756 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,320 Speaker 4: but like Wolves attacking problems in the penalty area, Saints 757 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 4: have had defensive problems in the penalt area. The goalie 758 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 4: is a concern too. 759 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: Uh. 760 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 4: And and he's another one who's who's down there not 761 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 4: quite Danny Ward level, but but down there pretty low. 762 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 4: So I think there is a path. It's Breadford. Nothing 763 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 4: for me here. I have no interest in playing Saints 764 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 4: as a home favorite. The Bees attack last year on 765 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 4: the road considerably worse than it was at home. That's 766 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 4: always a concern with the Bees going away from the 767 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 4: Brentford Community Stadium. We love betting them there. Away from home, 768 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 4: not quite the same overall, this is a pass for me. 769 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 4: My number is pretty close and I don't have a 770 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,319 Speaker 4: ton of interest in betting it a BJ. 771 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: I don't think you've ever walked into Brentford bet you 772 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 2: didn't like So I'm assuming. 773 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: Love I love you, I love you? Are you kidding? 774 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 3: Yeah? 775 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: I think I think I bet this game last Like. 776 00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: That You like that meme? You like that meme with 777 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: the gig holding the guy's hand and she's brighton and 778 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 2: then Brentford's walking back. 779 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 3: That's exactly what I was thinking, Michael, you read my mind. Yeah, 780 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna hop on the Thomas Frank train and 781 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: just pump him up and tell everybody he's the best 782 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 3: manager in the world. 783 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 784 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 3: Brentford, they haven't overperformed offensively, but I mean twelve big 785 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 3: scoring chances created, They've taken eleven shots inside the six 786 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 3: yard box and they have the highest x cheaper shot 787 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 3: in the Premier League. The offense has been really really 788 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 3: good and for the first time not the first time, 789 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 3: but we saw them because a lot of the sex 790 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: she was created because they were playing from behind. You know, 791 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: they went down to nothing to Leicester, they went down 792 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 3: against Everton, they went down against Crystal Palace, and then 793 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 3: of course they kick it into high gear. Well, they 794 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 3: just pasted leads. They flat out just pasted them on Saturday, 795 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 3: played with the lead, played really really well offensively, you 796 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 3: know as the match went along they created a couple 797 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 3: big scoring chances. 798 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: But you know, really really impressive performance. 799 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,839 Speaker 3: Defensively, Brentford has been a tad shakey. I mean they've 800 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 3: been doing a good job of they're allowing a ton 801 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 3: of shots. I think they're fifteenth in the Premier League 802 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 3: and shots allowed ninety minutes, which is kind of concerning, 803 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 3: but they all only have allowed six big scoring chances, 804 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 3: so they're keeping those shots to relatively low quality. And 805 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 3: they've allowed the fifth fewest crosses in the penalty area, 806 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 3: which is key because Southampton has the second most crosses 807 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 3: in the Premier League start the season, which I found 808 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 3: kind of interesting. And that's something that Brentford has actually 809 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,439 Speaker 3: really improved on because they were nineteenth in the Premier 810 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 3: League and crosses loud in the penalty area last year. 811 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,279 Speaker 3: So Frank obviously saw that in the analytics and he said, no, 812 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 3: we need to do a better job of that, and 813 00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 3: they have done a better jobs, so credit to them. Southampton. 814 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 3: I mean, this is still an under a one non 815 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 3: penalty expectable per ninety minute offense. Like that, it's not 816 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 3: a great offense. I mean they have only five expected 817 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 3: goals from open play, I mean fourteenth in shots from 818 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 3: inside the penalty area. They're the worst team in the 819 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 3: Premier League playing through pressure. Like, yeah, they've had some 820 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,399 Speaker 3: some historic, you know, some good performances put in and like, yes, 821 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 3: they're better than they were over the second half of 822 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 3: last season, but let's not kid ourselves I mean this 823 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,279 Speaker 3: line is basically telling us that Renford would be just 824 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 3: you know, it'd sentially be a pick em or Brentford 825 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 3: just as an ever so slight favorite on a neutral field, 826 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: which is just not the case. Like Brentford it should 827 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 3: be on neutral field, should be plus one twenty five 828 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 3: plus one twenty against Southampton. 829 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: So I have. 830 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 3: Brentford projected at plus one point fifty, So I like, 831 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 3: I'm drawn on bad at plus one twenty. 832 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 4: And one, encouraging Brentford. Note I think I like to 833 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 4: look at a shot distance average shot distance allowed the thing. 834 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 4: It kind of gets at shot quality without going too 835 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 4: far into the extremes of like a huge chance or 836 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 4: two that can skew the data. Brentford longest average shot 837 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 4: distance allowed in the PREM. So they're, like you mentioned BJA, 838 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 4: keeping opponents far from their goal when they shoot up 839 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 4: there with them. This should be interesting Tottenham. We know 840 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 4: how they play. Leads are up there and Newcastle and 841 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 4: then at the other side of things in terms of 842 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 4: creating chances. Who has the lowest average shot distance Liverpool's first, 843 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 4: Brentford a second. So they're generating the big chances, they're 844 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 4: preventing the big chances, and I think that going up 845 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 4: against the Saints team who now I'm talking myself into 846 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 4: betting Brentford going up against the Saints team who do it? 847 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 4: Concedes all the big chair here. It's interesting. 848 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,280 Speaker 3: We're here for Yeah, Brentford allowed the I have allowed 849 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 3: the second fewest shots inside the six yard box only 850 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 3: to Arsenal, only about four shots inside the six yard box, 851 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 3: which is impressive stuff. So you can allow like it's 852 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: the wolfst thing we talk about, Like you can have 853 00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 3: a ton of shots, but if they're all outside the box, 854 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 3: it doesn't really mean much. 855 00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 2: A reminder, wonder Goal is presented by Bet three six five, 856 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 2: the world's favorite sportsbook brand.

That's Everden on Sunday morning, nine am, 862 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 2: traveling to the Emirates to take on Arsenal minus three 863 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 2: hundred on the money line at Bet three six five. 864 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: Like I said, Everdon big hundred dougs plus seven fifty. 865 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 2: The draws plus four twenty five four game on beaten 866 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 2: streak for Frank Lampard's Toffees four game on beaten streak. 867 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 2: They started season zer zero to two, rattled off four 868 00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 2: impressive draws in a row and they've allowed somehow six 869 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 2: point five spectacles in their last three matches they did 870 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 2: go ahead and two of them. The third one was 871 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 2: that Liverpool Goodison Park derby and was one of the 872 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,759 Speaker 2: best Neil Mills you'll ever see, and I think both 873 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,440 Speaker 2: those both teams could say that they should have won 874 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 2: that match. Meanwhile, Arsenal they are coming off a loss 875 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 2: to Man United, that one hurt a little bit and 876 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 2: they are away to Zurich on Thursday. We're recording this 877 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,760 Speaker 2: on Wednesday night. It's ever did or nothing, I think, 878 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 2: and I'm going to make a case for them here. 879 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 2: The numbers aren't going to catch up to them, but 880 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 2: they're better than they were three weeks ago. The addition 881 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 2: of Amadu Anana and now Adrisa Ghana Gay in the 882 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 2: middle just completely revamps their defense. It allows alix A Wobe, 883 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 2: who's maybe if there was a comeback player of the 884 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 2: Year in the Premier League, he probably would have won 885 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,759 Speaker 2: it last year and if he would probably win it again, 886 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 2: he might just be the MVP this year because he's 887 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 2: been outstanding for them in the middle of the park, 888 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 2: just having a focal point of the attack with Neil Mopi. 889 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 2: Even though he did what Neil Mopi does and shown 890 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: from right outside the six yard box right at the keeper. 891 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: On that shot. 892 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: Beautiful. I mean, that's what you have him for. Everyone 893 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,359 Speaker 2: was like like, why did you sign if you can't finish? 894 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 2: You signed him because you like that kind of pain. 895 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 2: Anthony Gordon was great. I mean, Nathan Patterson's been really 896 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: good for them. They're just getting better and the numbers 897 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 2: will eventually start to catch up. But right now they 898 00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 2: are and they have a tough little spot in their 899 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 2: schedule here. They just played Liverpool and they'll playing Arsenal 900 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 2: and they got another tough one on the other side. 901 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,280 Speaker 2: They're gonna win for you at a big number eventually, 902 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 2: and I think this could be the case. So give 903 00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 2: me the Toffees plus seven fifty. I'm not biased, I 904 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 2: promise BJ. 905 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 3: What about you, No, I mean I agree with you. 906 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 3: I mean Arsenal is overvalued here. I mean I have 907 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 3: them at I have Everton at plus six seventy, so 908 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 3: bet three sixty five it's plus seven to fifty. So 909 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 3: I wouldn't fault to anybody for taking Everton in this match. 910 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 3: I mean, Arsenal didn't deserve to lose to United. Probably 911 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,000 Speaker 3: should have been a one one draw in my opinion, 912 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 3: my unbiased opinion. When we get to United, I have 913 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 3: a whole page of notes of things that the referee 914 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 3: missed in the match. But I mean Arsenal looked I 915 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 3: mean once the United went up, Arsenal just completely controlled 916 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 3: that match from start to finish. I mean, yes, United 917 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 3: had a couple of counter attacking opportunities they converted on, 918 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 3: but Arsenal was definitely more threatening. They held sixty six 919 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 3: percent possession like they were the better team, and I 920 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 3: know they didn't win on XG, but every other statistical 921 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,479 Speaker 3: category they completely dominated United. So this is funny because 922 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 3: this was the match that ended the Premier League season 923 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 3: last year. I'm pretty sure I took the under after 924 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 3: Everton had already survived their relegation scare and Arsenal just 925 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 3: paced them five to one, like and Everton looked like 926 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 3: they just didn't care about it, which I mean, you know, 927 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,320 Speaker 3: a huge relief from not getting relegated, Like, yeah, you 928 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 3: can expect that. So I can't really take anything away 929 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 3: from that match. The one before that that was a 930 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 3: goodest in part that Everton won two one and really 931 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 3: deserved to win over Arsenal. That was like right around 932 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,960 Speaker 3: the time. That was the low point for Arsenal, and 933 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 3: then I believe it was the next match against Southampton 934 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 3: when they turned things around and they got this thing 935 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 3: going in the right direction. So not really much I 936 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 3: could take away from either of the two matches that 937 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 3: Arsenal's played against. But I mean, they're just overvalued in 938 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 3: the market. Like I mean, there's no way I'm laying 939 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,240 Speaker 3: Arsenal minus one and a half in this type of match, 940 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,600 Speaker 3: I might look to play an under because Arsenal's defense 941 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 3: has been incredibly impressive. You know, even if you eliminate 942 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 3: the match to United match, they've played essentially four teams 943 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,760 Speaker 3: of you know, around Everton's. 944 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,760 Speaker 1: Quality, and they have allowed very few expected goals. 945 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 3: So I'm not worried about Arsenal. I think they'll be fine. 946 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 3: Hopefully they just they win this match comfortably. But yeah, 947 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 3: they are overvalued, So if I had to play anything, 948 00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 3: I'd probably play everything. 949 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 2: Just keep your eye on in the middle of the. 950 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: If everything gets to plus two, I might have to 951 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,760 Speaker 1: play them. I'll say that you're gonna. 952 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 4: Get They're not going to get there, but I would 953 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 4: jump into Everton's defense is kind of riding a Pickford 954 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 4: wave more so than anything's out by the way right, 955 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 4: and so that's the concern. But they that's the thing 956 00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 4: for me. 957 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: How many matches he played over the last two. 958 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 2: He pitched a clean sheet against Fleetwood Town a couple 959 00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 2: of months ago. 960 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 4: Man, in that case, I change my handicap. I have 961 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 4: to take back now. I mean, look, I think this 962 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 4: is agreed to all the points. I think Everyton's a 963 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 4: little bit undervalued. But this means I'm gonna run the 964 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 4: window to bet them because you look at the regression 965 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 4: metrics and it suggests that the defense has run really, 966 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 4: really well. And are we having a different conversation If 967 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 4: you know, Brentford takes a chance or two, they may 968 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 4: have been able to if Leeds had completed the comeback, 969 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 4: which x she suggests they could have. If you know 970 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 4: in Liverpool the game was pretty even for me, so 971 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,799 Speaker 4: maybe not, you know, playing Liverpool even right now, you 972 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 4: know that would have looked great before the season, it 973 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 4: looks less impressive now. So I'm not to belittle what's 974 00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,560 Speaker 4: been a decent run for Lampard, but I think a 975 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 4: lot of it is driven off variance and defensive fortune, 976 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 4: and I think I'm a little concerned that that may 977 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 4: run out here against a pretty good attacking team. I 978 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 4: agree Arsenal looks great in possession against Man United, and 979 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 4: they're going to be in possession a lot in this match, 980 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 4: so I think that favors, you know, an Arsenal team 981 00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,080 Speaker 4: that won't be pressured in the midfield as much. So 982 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 4: I do lean toward the Toffees generally, but not betting 983 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,520 Speaker 4: this match either. It's not a great slate this weekend. 984 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,839 Speaker 4: It feels like I'm passing a lot and there will 985 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,799 Speaker 4: be slates where we're just like we don't have a ton, 986 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 4: and this is one of them for me. 987 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, parties still out for Arsenal too, that also obviously 988 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 1: doesn't help them. 989 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll find you a bet in this one. Anthony 990 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 2: west Ham plus one forty five Newcastle plus one eighty 991 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 2: the draw plus two fifty. Newcastle has been going through 992 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: their injury issues several key players. West Ham is struggling 993 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 2: to create They're looking more like the David Moyes everyone 994 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 2: sumes rather than the one that showed up at west 995 00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 2: Ham the past two seasons and a second stint. They're 996 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: struggling to create chances, playing decent defensive stuff though two 997 00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 2: point one expectacles against total to Villis Burs and Chelsea, 998 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 2: and a little unlucky, a lot unlucky actually, not to 999 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 2: get a draw out of that Chelsea match, and because 1000 00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 2: they got some bad far going their way. Last weekend, 1001 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 2: by the way, was just a shambles for bar But 1002 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 2: we'll just stick to the betting here. I think this 1003 00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 2: one sets up all right for bet on the draw 1004 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,279 Speaker 2: plus two fifty at bet three six five, so that's 1005 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,000 Speaker 2: probably where I'm going to go. I'll see how this 1006 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 2: Newcastle line of shakes before again involved though, Anthony, what 1007 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 2: do you have here? Magpies and Hammers? 1008 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, lean towards the Magpies for me. I just think 1009 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:12,200 Speaker 4: that look, the market love for new We've we've struggled 1010 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:13,680 Speaker 4: to know what to do with this Newcastle team for 1011 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 4: the last few years, but the underlying numbers are becoming 1012 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 4: more and more clear that they're quite good. And I 1013 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,400 Speaker 4: think we are at risk of ignoring that if we 1014 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 4: continue to say, well, they've only done this in this 1015 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 4: under Eddie Howe since January. 1016 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:27,359 Speaker 2: Right. 1017 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 4: We used that because we felt like in January there 1018 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 4: was a problem in February and March. But it seems 1019 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 4: to me that as they continue to add more players 1020 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,319 Speaker 4: and Essak is another great ball carrier, ball progressor that 1021 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 4: they continue to get better. And look, they were very 1022 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,920 Speaker 4: impressive and probably should have won against Pallace. As much 1023 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 4: as west Ham got screwed, Newcastle kind of got screwed too. 1024 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 4: We were all lucky to cash, or at least I agree. 1025 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,000 Speaker 4: I thought that was bad, although west Ham was bad too. 1026 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 4: It was all bad. But I think Newcastle had a 1027 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,959 Speaker 4: very impressive performance, a better finishing day, and they would 1028 00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 4: have won much comfortably west Ham. For as much as 1029 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 4: they've played better lately, let's consider that they had a 1030 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 4: home draw with Spurs, which was fine. They had a 1031 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,520 Speaker 4: pretty fortunate win. Like their attack is still not creating 1032 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,759 Speaker 4: enough for me. Given what we've seen now with the 1033 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 4: flaws in Chelsea, I think that performance becomes a little 1034 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 4: bit less and more about Chelsea than west Ham. So 1035 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 4: I think Newcastle can probably do similar to what Chelsea did, 1036 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,440 Speaker 4: which is just control the ball, control the ball, control 1037 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,520 Speaker 4: the ball, win the midfield exchanges, and then this is 1038 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,600 Speaker 4: kind of their game to lose. I think, I think 1039 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 4: they're the better team, but the numbers are outright for me, 1040 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 4: so I'm passing. 1041 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,600 Speaker 2: It's time to party. Crystal Palace plus two fifty at 1042 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 2: home hosting Manchester United plus one ten. The draw here 1043 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 2: is plus two to fifty this one. If you've been 1044 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,080 Speaker 2: listening to the show, you know exactly how this is 1045 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,960 Speaker 2: going to go, and we're gonna take it there. But 1046 00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,640 Speaker 2: I will say before we talk about how much we 1047 00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 2: left Crystal Palace in the spot. Their defensive numbers are 1048 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 2: a little concerned. Nineteenth in the league right now in 1049 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 2: non penalty spectacles against eighteenth and shots for ninety allowed 1050 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,840 Speaker 2: and nineteenth and big chances allowed. But they've played Arsenal, 1051 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 2: Liverpool City, Villa, Brentford and Newcastle, so three of the 1052 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 2: Big six. We're gonna play a fourth of the Big 1053 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 2: six on Sunday and plus Newcastle, who by the way, 1054 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 2: are two hundred to one to win the title and 1055 00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,400 Speaker 2: twelve to one to finish inside the top four. So 1056 00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 2: if we really want to change our tamb On Newcastle. 1057 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 4: Maybe not going that far. 1058 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 2: Maybe we could talk. Maybe we could talk about that 1059 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:28,600 Speaker 2: in another episode that said the Palace defensive issues yet 1060 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 2: concerning can you trust the Manchester United defense? I don't 1061 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 2: think so. BJ. I'm actually gonna go to Anthony firstcause 1062 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 2: I know you want to get a lot off your 1063 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 2: chest about United and how they've just completely ruined you 1064 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 2: this season. So before we get to that, Anthony, maybe 1065 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 2: you can take a more measured approach. 1066 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think my stance on United has 1067 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 4: not changed all that much over the course of the season. 1068 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 4: We all faded them the first two weeks. We thought 1069 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 4: they were great matchups for Brighton and Brentford. But I 1070 00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 4: think you would be remiss if you didn't acknowledge the 1071 00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,840 Speaker 4: improvements they've made both out of possession and in possession, 1072 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 4: just simply by having their good players play. I mean, 1073 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 4: Jayden Sancho looks like he's improved, Antony looked, I thought, 1074 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,799 Speaker 4: lively in his debut, Marcus Rashford returning to form after 1075 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 4: a terrible year for a good young player. He was 1076 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,840 Speaker 4: a great young player who had a bad year and 1077 00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 4: is now seeming to find himself again. They still don't 1078 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 4: have a striker, which is a problem. But I think 1079 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 4: they're They're built in a way that makes them very 1080 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,320 Speaker 4: good out of possession, that makes them a very dangerous 1081 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 4: team in space. That makes them you know, they have 1082 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,200 Speaker 4: Erickson and they have Bruno, who are two of the 1083 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 4: best at picking out passes to find runners in behind 1084 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,399 Speaker 4: in the prem I think maybe Debrouna and that might 1085 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,640 Speaker 4: be it. I mean who else, like, I don't know, 1086 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 4: maybe like an Oda guard. 1087 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,879 Speaker 1: He's good at that one in the Premier League. 1088 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 4: So there's not there's not like that many flaws in 1089 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,840 Speaker 4: this United team. There are flaws and they will have problems, 1090 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:51,359 Speaker 4: and this is a match where I think they may. 1091 00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,120 Speaker 4: But I think as a whole on United, I think 1092 00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:57,279 Speaker 4: the market has shown that they were too high on 1093 00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 4: them early. I think Michael found the right time to 1094 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,800 Speaker 4: buy low, and I think there's a legitimate improvements there 1095 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 4: with ten hog and how well they played out of possession. 1096 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 4: So maybe this is not a great spot in terms 1097 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 4: of uh, you know, I want to buy Palace. But 1098 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,320 Speaker 4: I think that from a situational matchup point of view, 1099 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 4: United will be forced to have the ball on the 1100 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,560 Speaker 4: road in a hostile environment. Break down a low block 1101 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 4: against a Palace team who have just seen all the 1102 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,440 Speaker 4: great offenses and attacks in this league and all the 1103 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,560 Speaker 4: great strikers and all the great teams. And United really 1104 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 4: needs to prove to me that they can break down 1105 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,879 Speaker 4: this kind of team in this matchup before I really 1106 00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,279 Speaker 4: buy in. And therefore I'm going to take Palace plus 1107 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,120 Speaker 4: a quarter plus a half like them on the spread 1108 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 4: here and yeah it's our weekly Palace bet. They know 1109 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 4: look great defensively, but this is at home and we 1110 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,840 Speaker 4: know their home road splits. At this point. That being said, 1111 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,160 Speaker 4: I have to look at the United schedule. I think 1112 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 4: there's gonna be some buyspots. Maybe we'll see. Yeah, I 1113 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 4: think your point there about Also also rest Differential got 1114 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,560 Speaker 4: to mention that yep, Thursday associate DoD for United Palace 1115 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,879 Speaker 4: week off big difference. 1116 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: At this point, especially everybody, especially. 1117 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,399 Speaker 4: Because United has some depth issues right like there drop 1118 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 4: off to their good they're somewhat reserved players is big 1119 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 4: and I think that's a concern for them potentially long term. 1120 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 4: But in this match coming off Soci Dodd, if they 1121 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 4: win at Thursday, I mean it is a big letdown, 1122 00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 4: huge week for ten to dog beat Arsenal beat Socia 1123 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,680 Speaker 4: Dodd one five in a row. Tough road trip to Palace, 1124 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 4: perfect spot to sell a little bit, but BJ will 1125 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 4: tell you they stink. They do not. They are top five, 1126 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,800 Speaker 4: maybe sixteen easily. 1127 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,280 Speaker 2: Real quick, BJ, I just want to say that, Anthony, 1128 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 2: you made a good point about the stylistic matchup here. 1129 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest problem for United in a 1130 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,760 Speaker 2: matchup with Palace. Ted hogg Is kind of his credit 1131 00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 2: changed his tune like he's not gonna be stubborn and 1132 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 2: plan as plan A, and if plan A doesn't work, 1133 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,319 Speaker 2: we're gonna stick with plan A. They've played a more 1134 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 2: you know, Antonio Conte style over their past four wins. 1135 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 2: Give up the ball and we don't care if you 1136 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 2: have it sixty to forty, we'll hit you on the counter. 1137 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen here. I think it's a little 1138 00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 2: more complicated here at Sellers Park, where our Eagles will 1139 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 2: fly on the money line. All right, BJ, Anthony and 1140 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 2: I will go get a cup of copy and we'll 1141 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:08,360 Speaker 2: leave you and the listeners. 1142 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,240 Speaker 1: A little okay. 1143 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 3: So there were a couple of miss referee decisions on Sunday. 1144 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 3: Lesandra Martinez, she got a yellow card in the second minute. 1145 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,440 Speaker 3: Mctonmany should get a yellow and eighth minute for an 1146 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:18,799 Speaker 3: intentional shove. He she got a red for the wwe 1147 00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,080 Speaker 3: move the matchup. There got taken He got taken out 1148 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 3: after a shot in the fifty second minute. That should 1149 00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 3: have been a penalty as well. But and I'll even 1150 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,720 Speaker 3: admit that the bar decision was correct. How about that, Anthony. 1151 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,760 Speaker 1: But okay, here's my point about United. 1152 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,600 Speaker 3: I'm calling this match VIA's last stand, Michael, because uh, 1153 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,720 Speaker 3: like I don't really I'm starting to kind of teeter 1154 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,719 Speaker 3: on Crystal Palace, especially after the performance against Newcastle, Like 1155 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 3: that was bad. 1156 00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 4: Like that was a schedule man. 1157 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,600 Speaker 3: There's there's no other way to say it is that 1158 00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,719 Speaker 3: was bad. Like they were not good at all. They 1159 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 3: should have they should have lost, and the schedule has 1160 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 3: been bad. Like I agreed. But United in their four 1161 00:51:55,200 --> 00:52:00,920 Speaker 3: wins have scored eight goals off of five point six expected. 1162 00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 3: They've allowed two goals off of five expected, So four 1163 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 3: wins are the plus point six expected goal differential. Now, 1164 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,720 Speaker 3: my stance on United is that the market keeps pricing 1165 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 3: them like they're the third or fourth best team in 1166 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 3: the Premier League, which is just not true. I I 1167 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 3: It's just it's flat out not true. In the four wins, 1168 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,640 Speaker 3: they've been out shot forty three to sixty one. Their 1169 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 3: opponents have held fifty eight percent possession. They've been out 1170 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,680 Speaker 3: touched in the penalty area at penalty area seventy three 1171 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:30,480 Speaker 3: to one hundred and sixty one. Box entries has been 1172 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 3: forty two to seventy three. Progressive passes plus dribbles two 1173 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:37,799 Speaker 3: hundred and eighteen to three hundred and forty seven. Like, 1174 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 3: I get it, Like they've been playing with the lead 1175 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 3: and they've been playing defensive, but those numbers suggest that 1176 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 3: something's about to fall off a cliff, Like you can't 1177 00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 3: just keep giving up those type of numbers with the 1178 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 3: lead and just expect that everything's going to be fine. Like, 1179 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:53,800 Speaker 3: I'll admit that for the first fifteen minutes against Arsenal, 1180 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 3: they were the better side. They were controlling possession, they 1181 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,040 Speaker 3: were looking really lively in attack, they were creating chances. 1182 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 3: And then once Arsenal settle into the match, they started 1183 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,880 Speaker 3: to control possession and they really started to control the 1184 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,040 Speaker 3: match from that point on. So, you know, he had 1185 00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 3: a couple he had a defensive mistake on the first one, 1186 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 3: and Anthony took advantage of that. 1187 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: So credit to him. 1188 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 3: You know, they caught him in a high line and 1189 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 3: Rational scored the second goal. But I mean Arsenal just 1190 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 3: completely dominated them. 1191 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: They had over one. 1192 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 3: Hundred progressive passes and dribbles in that match. I mean 1193 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,799 Speaker 3: that's I mean, that's that's that's incredibly impressive. Me. That's 1194 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,760 Speaker 3: what City basically averages every match. But still against United, 1195 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 3: that's not good. Now as far as Crystal Palace is concerned, 1196 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 3: it's it's tough because they have not been good defensively 1197 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 3: and it has been a bad schedule. But I totally 1198 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 3: agree with you, Anthony, and I had this written down, 1199 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 3: that is, can United break down a little block? Like 1200 00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 3: can they can they do what what's what City did? Like? 1201 00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,839 Speaker 3: Can if Crystal Palace goes ahead, can they do can 1202 00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:51,360 Speaker 3: they be like City and completely control the match and 1203 00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,960 Speaker 3: score and come and erase that type of deficit? I 1204 00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 3: don't think so at this or we haven't seen it 1205 00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 3: at least at this at this juncture. 1206 00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 1: Now I will United. 1207 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,680 Speaker 3: They are plus one point two expect a gold defferential 1208 00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,879 Speaker 3: per ninety minutes from a zero zero game state only 1209 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,319 Speaker 3: really only about one hundred and eighty minutes for that's 1210 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 3: not really a large sample size, but from a zero 1211 00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 3: zero game state, they have been pretty good. 1212 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: But when they're playing with the. 1213 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,400 Speaker 3: Lead, it's something that's that's teetering on the point of collapsing. 1214 00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 3: So I don't think United's going to keep up this run. 1215 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,959 Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna finish in the top four. 1216 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 3: There's still a lot of there's still a lot of 1217 00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,640 Speaker 3: problems that still need to be sorted out. But the 1218 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 3: market just keeps pricing them like they're the third or 1219 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:32,839 Speaker 3: fourth best team in the Premier League, which is just 1220 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 3: not the case. So I'm taking Crystal Palace. I actually 1221 00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:38,160 Speaker 3: don't have that big of an edge on it. I 1222 00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 3: mean United, you know, plus one fifteen on the road. 1223 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 3: I have this match projected pretty close to a pick them, 1224 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,399 Speaker 3: you know, five thirty eight only as United at forty 1225 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 3: one percent. For everybody thinks I'm really biased out there, 1226 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,839 Speaker 3: Like another projection another projection model agrees with me. Like 1227 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,200 Speaker 3: for me, like there's just really not a lot to 1228 00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 3: get like excited about for this United team, Like, yes, 1229 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 3: they win four matches, but they're not impressive, like they 1230 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 3: like they don't do what Arsenal did for the first 1231 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 3: four matches of the season. You know what I mean, 1232 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 3: It's not like it's a man, I'm so excited. 1233 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,239 Speaker 1: I'm running the window to bet United. They're on this 1234 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:09,360 Speaker 1: crazy streak that's awesome. 1235 00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 3: Like, no, this is something that you know regression is 1236 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,720 Speaker 3: going to come for United, and I agree with Anthony 1237 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,719 Speaker 3: that this you won't find a better spot to do it. 1238 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,800 Speaker 2: Monday Night Football leads minus one thirty eight noting of 1239 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,520 Speaker 2: Forest plus three fifty the draws plus two to eighty. 1240 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 2: I mean, this game just has chaos written all over it. Forrest. 1241 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 1: This is a great Monday after it is. 1242 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,359 Speaker 2: It feels like it's just gonna be almost like six 1243 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 2: year olds playing soccer, like that kind of side where 1244 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 2: they just chase the ball around over and over, you know, 1245 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 2: and there's like no organization to it. Jesse Marsh got 1246 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 2: his red card. We kind of called that coming. He's 1247 00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 2: kind of just been thrown tantrums on the sidelines. He 1248 00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 2: always is looking at it like a baseball manager who 1249 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:47,120 Speaker 2: wants to get thrown out of the game to get 1250 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 2: some respect in the locker room or whatever. That's how 1251 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 2: I viewed it. Forrest's defensive record has been terrible, worse 1252 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 2: than the Premier League basically across the board. For it 1253 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 2: goes four to fourteen against five and a half expect 1254 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,080 Speaker 2: it goes for thirteen point three against the Leads. Numbers 1255 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 2: is obviously much better, but I just don't think Leeds 1256 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 2: United should be minus one forty against any team yet 1257 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 2: in the Premier League. So I will be forced or nothing. 1258 00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 2: We'll see how things shake out as we get closer 1259 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 2: to the game on Monday bj Real Quick Monday Night Football. 1260 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 1: I love over three goals at plus one thirty. 1261 00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 3: I mean Leeds has been good offensively, like they're over 1262 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,479 Speaker 3: one and a half non penalty expected goals per match, 1263 00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 3: Like they're taking over thirteen shots per ninety, they have 1264 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 3: ten big scoring chances like that. 1265 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 1: They've been a good offense. They haven't played that difficult 1266 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 1: to schedule. 1267 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,359 Speaker 3: But I mean they're playing the Nottingham Forest defense, which 1268 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,280 Speaker 3: is like you already mentioned, it is just complete mess. 1269 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,280 Speaker 3: I mean, not only out of over thirteen expected goals, 1270 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 3: I mean seventeen shots per ninety, nineteen box entries per 1271 00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 3: match like this is really really bad. And they're the 1272 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 3: worst pressing team in the Premier League, which is good 1273 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,000 Speaker 3: nudes for Leeds because they're not very good playing through pressure. Now, 1274 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 3: while Leeds is good offensively, like they're defensive numbers. Like 1275 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:57,879 Speaker 3: I already mentioned, they haven't really played a murders Row. 1276 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:02,800 Speaker 3: Eight point three expected goals in six match is against Wolf, Southampton, Chelsea, Brentford, 1277 00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 3: Everton and Brighton is not that great. And you know 1278 00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 3: Nottingam Forrest hasn't been good offensively. But what I will 1279 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 3: say about Nottingham Forest is once they go behind, it 1280 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,239 Speaker 3: just becomes complete chaos. When they're playing from behind. This 1281 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 3: season they're allowing around two and a half expected goals 1282 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,920 Speaker 3: per ninety minutes. So to your point about this becoming chaos, 1283 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 3: I think it will become chaos if Leads go goes ahead, 1284 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 3: which they are favored to do so I have right 1285 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 3: on three goals projected, so if you're giving me plus 1286 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 3: one thirty on over three goals, I'm gonna take it 1287 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 3: all right. 1288 00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:33,600 Speaker 2: That wraps the Premier League section. Now on to Europe. 1289 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,920 Speaker 2: We'll start in the Bundesliga as we usually do. You 1290 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 2: tubo au on the same game. I believe in this 1291 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,880 Speaker 2: one each side, So give me a quick version of 1292 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 2: your favorite bet in the Bundesliga. Anthony, your first. 1293 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 4: Yeah from a Bilow cell high perspective. Freiburg top of 1294 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 4: the Bundesliga table. Good for them, don't expect that to continue. 1295 00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 4: You look at the underlying numbers dating back to last season. 1296 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 4: They were a good not great team in the Bundesliga, 1297 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 4: relying a lot on set piece fortune. Don't expect that 1298 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,680 Speaker 4: to continue either. Thinking back to last season, god Block 1299 00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 4: was a plus one hundred favorite on the road at Freiburg. 1300 00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 4: Now Freiburg is a plus one hundred favorite at home. 1301 00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:07,919 Speaker 4: So that just shows you how far the market's fallen 1302 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 4: in this match, and that's why I like to sell 1303 00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 4: Freiberg and buy glodboch Low. I like them plus a 1304 00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 4: half back to Foles once again. 1305 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 2: BJ You're also on this one. 1306 00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the over and this one over three 1307 00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,080 Speaker 3: goals around minus one o five. Good set piece edge here. 1308 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 3: Freiburg best set piece team in the Bundesliga last year 1309 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 3: nineteen expected goals, Glodbock worst set piece defense, around seventeen allowed. 1310 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 3: I mean Glodpark is still a really good offense. I 1311 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 3: mean seven point three expected goals created in non Bayern 1312 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 3: Munich matches. Five big scoring chances created in those four matches, 1313 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,440 Speaker 3: and you know Glodbock matches average three point three expected 1314 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,560 Speaker 3: goals last season, then early indications are that has not 1315 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,400 Speaker 3: changed one bit. So I like over three goals at 1316 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 3: minus one five. 1317 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 2: I'll be continuing to play all the hits Palace. I 1318 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 2: got a ten to one ticket against Liverpool and of 1319 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 2: course minds their plus one ninety gets half in time. 1320 00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 2: They continue to just chug along great defensively, it should 1321 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,360 Speaker 2: be able to handle this Halfenheim attack even on the 1322 00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,640 Speaker 2: road on to La Liga. I'll kick it off here. 1323 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 2: This is probably my favorite bet of the season so far. 1324 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 2: Cadiz Barcelona both teams to score. Yes, Cadizz iszero and 1325 00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 2: four with Dru loss zero scored on two point two 1326 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 2: expected ten against Barcelona one goal against the season. So 1327 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 2: I'm this is how this BET's gonna go. I'm gonna 1328 00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,240 Speaker 2: bet the both teams to score. Cadiz is gonna win one. 1329 00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,440 Speaker 2: Now they'll get their goal, Barcelona won't get theirs. So 1330 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 2: that's where I'm going in La Liga in Spain, bj 1331 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:32,320 Speaker 2: what do you got? 1332 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1333 00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 3: I like valid the lead plus half a goal at 1334 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,520 Speaker 3: minus squad fifty at Droona on Friday afternoon. I mean 1335 00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,080 Speaker 3: this is this line's indicating that these two teams should 1336 00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 3: be essentially even on a neutral field, which is just 1337 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,320 Speaker 3: not the case because Valads Lead in the second Division 1338 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 3: last year had a plus point five actually differential per 1339 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 3: ninety Drona was only a plus point one, so if 1340 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,240 Speaker 3: you factor in home field avtage, this match should actually 1341 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 3: be a pick them. And in the two matches that 1342 00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 3: they faced each other last season in the Second Division, 1343 00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 3: Valids lead out created Darona four point five to two 1344 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 3: point seven unexpected goals. And you know, Valid Leads had 1345 01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 3: to play a tough schedule played. You know Virial to 1346 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 3: be a Barcelona, but they just beat Al Mary on Monday, 1347 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 3: got a really deserving one zero win, being able to 1348 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 3: actually one point three two point six. I think there's 1349 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,160 Speaker 3: tremendous value and Valid the lead here. Some take them 1350 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 3: plus half a goal at minus one fifty. 1351 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:19,800 Speaker 2: Anthony, anything for you in Espanya. 1352 01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:24,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was extremely surprised to see this Virial Real 1353 01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:28,360 Speaker 4: Batiste total at two point five Bettiste. He still has 1354 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,400 Speaker 4: a pretty good attack. Their defense continues to be a 1355 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 4: bit overrated and we have a very and I think 1356 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,800 Speaker 4: a lot of it is because Virio has not conceded 1357 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,480 Speaker 4: this season. Somehow, they've conceded about three expected goals. They've 1358 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 4: played well, but how long do we really expect that 1359 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,040 Speaker 4: to continue? So I'm selling this this Virial defense a 1360 01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:47,959 Speaker 4: little bit. Betist likes to play open games. Virial, much 1361 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 4: different than their traditional way of playing, has actually been 1362 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 4: willing to be open in Spain, more so than they 1363 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,560 Speaker 4: are in the tournament matches where we love to bet them. 1364 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 4: So they do play a little bit more press and possessed. 1365 01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,200 Speaker 4: Both teams will play somewhat high lines in this match, 1366 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,360 Speaker 4: so I think there could be room for some goals. 1367 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 4: La Liigo overs two and a half surprises at not 1368 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:10,480 Speaker 4: two in three. 1369 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 2: Quarters from Laaligo overs Syria unders bj Anthony both becking 1370 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 2: some snoozers here. 1371 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like Napoli Spetzia. Both teams have scored no 1372 01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 3: at minus one ten. I mean Napoley they did we 1373 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:25,800 Speaker 3: You know, we've talked about the defensive pieces they've lost, 1374 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,880 Speaker 3: but they are still looking really good. Only three point 1375 01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 3: two expected goals lowed in their first five matches. They've 1376 01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 3: only allowed a total of thirty seven shots, fifteen inside 1377 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:35,919 Speaker 3: the penalty, are only one inside and six yard box 1378 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 3: all that leads siri ad. They're taking on a Specia 1379 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 3: team that the last season averaged under one expected goal 1380 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 3: per match in the wide open Syria A. So far 1381 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 3: this season, they've only created three and a half expected 1382 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 3: goals through five matches. They've only taken twenty two shots 1383 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,680 Speaker 3: from inside the penalty area. That's the lowest mark in 1384 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 3: Syria A. The reason I'm playing both teams to score no. 1385 01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,600 Speaker 3: At Minus one ten and not Specia under half a 1386 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,480 Speaker 3: goal or a Napoli to win nail is because I 1387 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 3: played the exact same bet in this exact same match 1388 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,959 Speaker 3: last season and Spetsia one won nothing as an eleven 1389 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 3: to one underdog at Napolis. Some playing both teams to 1390 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,520 Speaker 3: score no at minus one ten and avoiding what happened last. 1391 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,360 Speaker 2: Year, and Anthony, you've got an under for us. 1392 01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, Lazio Verona, I mean it's like the regression Bowl. 1393 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 4: You know, Verona had this incredible attack last year that 1394 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,960 Speaker 4: overperformed quite a bit. And I bet this in every 1395 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:22,640 Speaker 4: game last year. I think I pushed one and one 1396 01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 4: the other and I'm going to bet it again here. Look, 1397 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 4: Latsio created the third few it's expected goals in Syria 1398 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,160 Speaker 4: like it's been really, really bad, and yeah. 1399 01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 1: Saw that coming. 1400 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,880 Speaker 4: They have seven goals from four but like, seven goals 1401 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 4: in five matches is not that good either. So even 1402 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 4: though they are overperforming, they're still not getting the kind 1403 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,120 Speaker 4: of goals you'd expect. I continue to think that's going 1404 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,960 Speaker 4: to be a problem Verona. We saw Simeone Junior scoring 1405 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,000 Speaker 4: today for Napoli. What that means is he no longer 1406 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 4: plays for Verona. Their attack has struggled as well. They've 1407 01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,640 Speaker 4: only scored six and five. So we have two attacks 1408 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 4: that were prime for regression are in the middle of regressing, 1409 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,680 Speaker 4: and we're still getting a two point seventy five total here. 1410 01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:57,959 Speaker 4: I love the under. I think it should be two under. 1411 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,160 Speaker 4: I actually make it under two and a half. We're 1412 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 4: getting two point seven five, so you know, we're grinding 1413 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,400 Speaker 4: out small edges here. But that's that's what I like 1414 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 4: on Siria this weekend. 1415 01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,240 Speaker 2: And now we can cue the French, the Parisian Jazz 1416 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,880 Speaker 2: or something here for bj to take us on his 1417 01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 2: journey with his favorite bet in league. 1418 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Strasbourg minus one fifty five against Clermont Foot. 1419 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: I mean this Claremont foot team is awful. I mean, 1420 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: they're in eighth place. 1421 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,800 Speaker 3: They've created four point eight expected goals and allowed fourteen 1422 01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 3: point three. 1423 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 1: Like, this is just a really really bad team. I know. 1424 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,800 Speaker 3: I bet to lose against them last week. That result 1425 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,400 Speaker 3: was just really annoying because until it's just completely dominated 1426 01:03:34,440 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 3: the match, held a ton of possession, out touched them 1427 01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 3: in the penalty are thirty one to fourteen. It's just 1428 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 3: a really bad Claremont Foot team in Strasbourg. Listen, they're 1429 01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 3: in the relegation zone right now. I think I bet 1430 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 3: them to finish top three. Not looking too great, but hey, 1431 01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 3: there's a long season ahead of us. You know, it's 1432 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 3: a team that didn't lose anybody from last season. They 1433 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:51,920 Speaker 3: were a top five offense by expecting goals, created the 1434 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 3: second most big scoring chances to PSG. So this is 1435 01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 3: still a really good offense that just hasn't gotten going. 1436 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,760 Speaker 3: So like Strasbourg minus one fifty five at home against 1437 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,959 Speaker 3: Mont Footed, the worst team in league. 1438 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: On and now on to our favorite part of the program, 1439 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 2: our underdog three leg moneyline parlay.

When you shared the 1445 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 2: doc and I saw the underdogs that were going into 1446 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,440 Speaker 2: the parlay this week, I gotta say, I know this 1447 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:31,040 Speaker 2: is the week. 1448 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I just felt it. 1449 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 2: As soon as I saw the three teams that are 1450 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,640 Speaker 2: in there, I knew it. I could just feel it. 1451 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:37,800 Speaker 2: BJ what's your favorite pooch? 1452 01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,120 Speaker 3: Wolfsburg plus two to eighty against Frankfurt. I'm just gonna 1453 01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,760 Speaker 3: keep fading Frankfurt. I really don't believe they're that good 1454 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:46,680 Speaker 3: of a team. Wolfsburg hasn't been have not been good. 1455 01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 3: They just you know, have allowed five over five expected 1456 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,040 Speaker 3: goals to Cologne and RB Leipsig last few matches. But 1457 01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 3: you know, if you look at transfer mark dot com, 1458 01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 3: I mean talent level, these two teams are are pretty 1459 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,920 Speaker 3: much even and last season the Bundesliga is that that 1460 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 3: It's the case as well. So I'm getting plus two 1461 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 3: eighty on the road for Wolfsburg. I like this as 1462 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,960 Speaker 3: a nice by low spot for them. So Wolfsburg plus two. 1463 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 2: Eighty for me for me going with Anthony Spurs plus 1464 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 2: six fifty against Man City. This is perhaps the second 1465 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,480 Speaker 2: or third best team in the APL right this second. 1466 01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 2: They play style that gives City fits, and they have 1467 01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,720 Speaker 2: the attacking talent to take whatever chances that they do create, 1468 01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,280 Speaker 2: even if City has seventy percent possession. That's kind of 1469 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 2: what Tottenham wants. Simply put, you're getting six and a 1470 01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:33,040 Speaker 2: half to one to bet the second or maybe third 1471 01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 2: best team in the Premier League right now. So I 1472 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,440 Speaker 2: will take a shot on Spurs at plus six fifty 1473 01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:39,560 Speaker 2: back the Bach. 1474 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 4: We almost hit eleven to one against Bayern a couple 1475 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 4: weeks ago. Now we're going to try to hit a 1476 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:46,240 Speaker 4: plus two to forty against Freiburg. I know Bday talked 1477 01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 4: about the set piece issues, that's definitely a concern. This 1478 01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:52,320 Speaker 4: is just a classic cell high. Freiburg, after a great 1479 01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,280 Speaker 4: start of the season, did the same thing. Last year. 1480 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 4: Wolfsburg won their first four matches, they played Glodbach and lost. 1481 01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 4: I'm hoping to catch that same lightning and bottle once 1482 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,320 Speaker 4: again with the. 1483 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 2: Foals Claude back Fulfsburg Tottenham Hotspur money line parlay ninety 1484 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 2: six to one. If you put the three of them 1485 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 2: together that's coming through you can you can guarantee it. 1486 01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 2: Now we go on to our best bets in the 1487 01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,920 Speaker 2: Premier League for the match week coming your way beginning 1488 01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:21,080 Speaker 2: on Saturday September tenth BJ what's your favorite bet? 1489 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:22,160 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football? 1490 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,280 Speaker 3: Leads versus Naughtingam Forrest over three goals at plus one thirty. 1491 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 3: This leads offense has been impressive over one and a 1492 01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:29,960 Speaker 3: half non penalty expected goals per match. They've already created 1493 01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:32,720 Speaker 3: ten big scoring chants. They're averaging over thirteen shots per ninety. 1494 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 3: This Nottingham Forst defense is the worst in the Premier League. 1495 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 3: I mean they're allowing a lot over thirteen expected goals 1496 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,120 Speaker 3: in their first six matches, loing over seventeen shots for 1497 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,919 Speaker 3: ninety over eighteen box entries per ninety it's just bad. 1498 01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: Now. 1499 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,120 Speaker 3: Nine m fours has not been a good offense. But 1500 01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,080 Speaker 3: when they do go behind, when they playing from behind 1501 01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,400 Speaker 3: this season, they're allowing two and a half expected goals 1502 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,680 Speaker 3: per ninety minutes. So if Leads scores first, which they 1503 01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,880 Speaker 3: are favored to do, this match has the potential to 1504 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,520 Speaker 3: go completely off the rails. I have exactly three goals 1505 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 3: projected one so if you're giving me plus one thirty 1506 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 3: on over three goals. 1507 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take it. 1508 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm going with Crystal Palace plus two seventy five against 1509 01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,560 Speaker 2: Manchester United. After losing their first two matches the season, 1510 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 2: Manchester United was a crisis club. But now after four 1511 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:16,680 Speaker 2: wins including a lucky result against Southampton and so so 1512 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 2: won against Leicester, two impressive wins one against Liverpool and 1513 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,760 Speaker 2: won against Arsenal, everyone is back on board at Old Trafford. 1514 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 2: The times, the good times are back. It's like Fergie's 1515 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 2: back baby. But to spite that up ticket form, you 1516 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,280 Speaker 2: still can't trust the United defense. Crystal Palace have slogged 1517 01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,320 Speaker 2: their way through one of the toughest schedules, toughest stretches 1518 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 2: you'll see in any Premier League schedule, So we just 1519 01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 2: don't really know how good this team is. Judging from 1520 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,440 Speaker 2: last year, we believe they're quite good. The defensive numbers 1521 01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,960 Speaker 2: have dipped for this season, but I think that's more 1522 01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:46,840 Speaker 2: a result of their schedule than anything else, which sets 1523 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 2: us up with a great by low Sell high spot 1524 01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:53,360 Speaker 2: on Palace with the eded bonus that Manchester United are 1525 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,160 Speaker 2: playing at Old Trafford against we Associate Dad on Thursday, 1526 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,080 Speaker 2: so it's a good rest spot for Palace as well, 1527 01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 2: so I will be back on the Eagles as I 1528 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,400 Speaker 2: always am. For my favorite bet in the Premier League, 1529 01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 2: Anthony take. 1530 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 4: Us home Tottenham plus one point five minus one twenty 1531 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:08,920 Speaker 4: on the road at Man City. First time betting the 1532 01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 4: Lily Whites this season. Spurs matchup well here. They defend 1533 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 4: their box really well, they let the opponent have the 1534 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 4: ball and they pick out part little weaknesses in opposition defenses, 1535 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,400 Speaker 4: especially in transition. I think there are holes that can 1536 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:25,559 Speaker 4: be exploited. Newcastle did so the only above average attack 1537 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 4: that City has played this season. I think Spurs, with 1538 01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,240 Speaker 4: their ability to play without the ball are excellent and 1539 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:35,200 Speaker 4: Kulaseewski ras Charleston, whichever one they do start alongside Son 1540 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 4: and Kane Son do for a goal here has created 1541 01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 4: a ton of expected goals without scoring. Kine looks as 1542 01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,559 Speaker 4: good as ever. This counter attacking team has given City 1543 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,679 Speaker 4: fits for years. I think they can do the same again, 1544 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 4: maybe even hold Cities dynamite attack and check just enough 1545 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 4: to stay inside the number here. 1546 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,959 Speaker 2: All that wraps up this episode of Wonder Goal Segrebating 1547 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 2: podcast from the Action Network. Thanks we're listening, Thanks to Anthony. 1548 01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 2: Thanks the PJ thanks to Bet three six five, our sponsor. 1549 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,600 Speaker 2: We will see you guys on the other side of 1550 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 2: the weekend for more Champions League.
