Slowly but surely, Crystal Palace are starting to look like better bets to stay in the Premier League.

Of course, their 4-1 battering at the hands of Tottenham on Sunday evening provided evidence to the contrary but a period of three unbeaten games before that must have pleased Roy Hodgson.

The Eagles have been incredibly inconsistent this season and that shone through in north London over the weekend. Spurs haven’t been particularly swashbuckling in recent months but the effervescent trio of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Gareth Bale all ran riot on Sunday.

How Hodgson would love for three players of their quality. Bale looks back to his best and in the process of scoring twice, was a lively energetic threat.

The same cannot be said for Palace’s right-hand side where Andros Townsend severely disappointed. The winger began his career at Spurs where he played for 16 years, starting out as a young schoolboy to becoming a senior professional.

Yet, on Sunday evening, he showed exactly why he never made a name for himself at the very top of the game.

Townsend was devoid of much quality and very rarely had a chance to threaten the Spurs backline. Of course, there are better litmus tests for this Eagles attack but the 29-year-old did little to try and haunt his former employers.

He was hauled off after just 65 minutes having had a minimal impact on proceedings. Townsend touched the ball on just 40 occasions which was the lowest tally of any outfield Palace player to start the match.

On top of that, the winger made only 13 passes during his time on the field. That was fewer than goalkeeper Vicente Guaita and only more than Hodgson’s three substitutes; Wilfried Zaha, Jeffrey Schlupp and Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Townsend clearly isn’t as creative and hustling as he once was. The attacker managed a solitary key pass and when faced with the likes of Sergio Reguilon and Son in the channels, he often came out second best; winning just 37.5% of his defensive duels.

The fact that Hodgson took him off so early into the game spoke volumes, especially when it was the defence who were being given the biggest runaround.

Townsend did his best to inject a slice of energy into proceedings, and as he always proves, he was willing to work hard for the team. Yet, the forward’s end product was ultimately missing.

With Zaha now back from injury, the former England international better be wary. His place in the team could soon be under threat.

No Albertão, o Vasco empatou com o Altos-PI por 1 a 1 e garantiu a classificação para a segunda fase da Copa do Brasil. No entanto, a equipe cruzmaltina criou diversas oportunidades de gol, mas pecou nas finalizações. O centroavante Gérman Cano marcou mais uma vez e chegou a quatro gols em seis partidas com a camisa vascaína. Na próxima fase da competição, a equipe cruzmaltina enfrenta o ABC, em Natal.

De acordo com o argentino, o time necessita melhorar, sobretudo na cara do gol. Durante a partida, foram quatorze chutes em direção ao gol contra apenas três da equipe piauiense. O time poderia ter vencido com tranquilidade, mas abusou dos gols perdidos e parou na bela atuação do goleiro Rodrigo Ramos, de quarenta anos.

– Muito contente e feliz. O objetivo é seguir melhorando a equipe, o conjunto. Temos que melhorar muito. Estamos entendendo a ideia do treinador. Às vezes se joga bem, e às vezes se joga mal, como hoje. O campo estava difícil. Estamos muito felizes por passar de fase. No primeiro tempo tivemos muitas chances de gol que não tivemos cabeça fria para convertê-las. Esses jogos são de vida ou morte – destacou o atacante.

Na próxima semana, o Vasco encara o Oriente Petrolero, da Bolívia, no Ramón Tahuichi, necessitando apenas do empate para avançar na Copa Sul-Americana. Pelo Campeonato Carioca, o time Cruz-Maltino estreia na Taça Rio contra o Resende, mas somente no dia 1º de março, no Raulino de Oliveira.

Reports by Todo Fichajes earlier this week claimed Everton are keeping tabs on Martin Braithwaite’s situation at FC Barcelona, as well as that of Miralem Pjanic, but Marcel Brands must block a move for the striker to head to Goodison Park this summer.

The Toffees are understood to be eying a raid on the Camp Nou to improve Carlo Ancelotti’s squad, having built a strong relationship with the European giants through their deals to sign a string of the Catalan natives’ outcasts in Andre Gomes, Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne.

Braithwaite completed a controversial €18m (£15m) move to Barca last February, having been given permission by La Liga to leave CD Leganes outside of the winter market after injury ruled Ousmane Dembele out of action for six months.

Braithwaite has faced uncertainty over his long-term future at the Camp Nou ever since his arrival, despite having a €300m (£251m) release clause in his four-year contract, as Barcelona made the 29-year-old available for a transfer last summer to recover the fee they paid.

Reports by Sport claimed West Ham United approached Barca to open negotiations over the 46-cap Denmark international in the off-season but baulked at the £15m asking price, and again snubbed a deal at £13mduring the recent winter market.

The Irons were not alone in probing Braithwaite’s situation in January with West Bromwich Albion and Leeds United also sounding out his availability, despite the £105,000-per-week attacker having no interest in leaving Catalunya.

Everton now seem to be giving Braithwaite yet another route back to England after his two years on the books at Middlesbrough, where he only scored nine goals in 40 games across all competitions.

Braithwaite found some form in front of the net with Leganes after a permanent move to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque in 2019 following an initial loan spell, netting six goals in 24 La Liga fixtures before moving to the Camp Nou where he has three goals in 34 league games to date.

It remains to be seen how highly Barcelona intend to value Braithwaite in the upcoming summer market, when his services are again expected to be touted around as new President Joan Laporta strives to begin reducing the club’s debt of more than €1.1bn (£942m).

But, regardless of Barcelona’s asking price, Brands must step in and block any deal for Everton to sign Braithwaite at the end of the season, as the Danish dud – with a TransferMarkt valuation of £8m – will not improve Ancelotti’s options at all.

The 29-year-old rarely fashions chances to score when on the field with just 0.7 shots a game, and he rarely creates chances for his teammates with a mere 0.5 key passes from a woefully low nine accurate passes a game, per SofaScore.

Those efforts have also seen Braithwaite miss seven clear-cut chances to find the back of the net, which is the seventh-most across the entire Spanish top-flight, despite only playing an average of 46 minutes a game having started just 11 of his 23 outings to date.

Convert Braithwaite’s record into shots per 90 minutes and his average increases to 1.7 with 0.6 on target, per WhoScored, which would be enough to rank fifth at Everton for total attempts but with 0.9 fewer than Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the Premier League, who has provided 14 of his side’s 40 goals.

With Joshua King yet to score since his Deadline Day arrival on Merseyside last month and endless speculation on Moise Kean’s future, the Blues may be looking into signing a new striker this summer.

But they will not improve with a deal for Braithwaite, even if Koeman has praised the attacker as he has “worked hard” to earn his chances to feature at the Camp Nou this term.

AND in other news, Carlo Ancelotti has set his eyes on bringing a £59m flop to Everton…

Atlético-GO, líder do Grupo B, enfrenta o Vila Nova neste domingo, no Estádio Serra Dourada, em jogo válido pela 12ª rodada do Campeonato Goiano. O Dragão quer a vitória para continuar lutando pela primeira colocação geral do Estadual, que no momento pertence ao Goiás.

Wagner Lopes, treinador do Atlético-GO, falou sobre o que espera do clássico deste domingo e não vê favoritismo a favor de sua equipe. Para o técnico, vitória é fundamental.

– É um clássico muito importante. O respeito pelo adversário é gigante, do tamanho da história dos dois times. Não vejo vantagem, favoritismo nenhum, pois clássico não tem essa história, é um campeonato à parte. Não conquistamos nada, então não podemos ser considerados os melhores. Vejo um jogo de cautela e a melhor forma de respeitar o adversário, dentro do fair play, é buscar fazer o melhor dentro de campo.

O treinado do Atlético ainda tem dúvidas na escalação. O rubro-negro deve ir a campo com Márcio; Ednei, Lino, Marllon e Romário (Juninho); Gilson Alves, Pedro Bambu, Magno Cruz (Caíque) e Jorginho; Luiz Fernando e Júnior Viçosa.

O Vila Nova deve ir a campo com: Wagner Bueno; Douglas Assis, Anderson, Vinicius Simon e Marinho Donizete; Leandro Bulhões; Róbston, Roger, Zotti e Dudu; Diego Cardoso

The deed is finally done; Neil Lennon is no longer in charge of Celtic. It’s felt like a long time coming and truth be told, it’s too little too late.

The Hoops are considerably off the pace in the Scottish Premiership and are on the verge of surrendering their grasp of the title for the first time in a decade. Their fierce rivals now only need just seven points to wrap things up.

Lennon admitted that he would never walk away but following their 1-0 defeat to Ross County, he has taken the easy way out and left Parkhead behind. Supporters have had little to celebrate this season but this is a moment of great solace.

So who will replace him? Well, one man could be Aston Villa’s assistant manager John Terry. Kevin Campbell recently talked up his chances of a move to Glasgow, suggesting the former defender would have to be an instant success.

He told Football Insider: “You’re looking at both clubs and this is obviously Steven Gerrard’s third season there. If either of these guys, Terry or Lampard, come in, you’re looking at them hitting the ground running.”

Terry is yet to take charge of a club as a number one and thus, it would represent quite the gamble from Dermot Desmond to appoint him. That’s especially when you consider the huge rebuild that any new manager will have to undertake.

That being said, the 40-year-old could help to improve Celtic’s biggest problem this season. Defensively, the Hoops have been shambolic and that’s one of the primary reasons behind their downfall.

They shipped 19 goals in six Europa League outings and have conceded 14 more strikes than Rangers in the league. Though, if we consider Terry’s defensive influence, he could completely reshape the Celtic backline.

Of course, he is one of the best defenders to grace the English Premier League, but his defensive coaching has earned fine praise from those at Villa.

Since he arrived as Dean Smith’s assistant, the club have won promotion to the top-flight and are now in with an outside chance of securing European football for next season. Terry’s coaching is one of the biggest reasons, ensuring the likes of Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash and Matt Targett take their games to the next level.

Targett admitted there is no one better to learn from last week in an interview with The Times, hailing personal Zoom calls with Terry over lockdown for why he’s improved so much from a defensive point of view.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/check-out-the-latest-on-celtics-managerial-vacancy” title=”Check out the latest on Celtic’s managerial vacancy!”]

Words from Tyrone Mings also make for encouraging reading: “He’s somebody that’s been there, done it and seen everything there is to see. He’s the perfect person for me to learn from and he’s really helped me in the short amount of time we’ve worked together,” the defender once said.

Mings continued: “He sets high standards and small things, which I wouldn’t even think of, he picks up on.”

The centre-back was a Championship level defender a few years ago but now he’s a key component of Gareth Southgate’s England side. Much of that can be attributed to the work done behind the scenes with the Chelsea legend.

It’s evident how Terry would have an impact on this Celtic side.

Depois de Pedro, Gabriel Barbosa, Thiago Maia e Gustavo Henrique serem inscritos como jogadores do Flamengo na quinta-feira, na manhã desta sexta foram as vezez de Pedro Rocha e Michael ganharem condições de jogo e ficarem à disposição de Jorge Jesus para a partida contra o Resende, na segunda, no Maracanã. Será o primeiro teste do grupo principal em 2020.

Os dois atacantes tiveram as situações regularizadas junto á CBF e Ferj, sendo inscritos como jogadores do Flamengo nesta sexta, data-limite para que a dupla ficasse disponível para o Mister para o próximo compromisso do Fla.

Após um trabalho na academia do CT, o grupo do Flamengo foi ao Campo 1 treinar com bola sob o comando do Mister. A atividade foi aberta aos jornalistas por 15 minutos, e a ausência notada ficou por conta de Rodrigo Caio. Com um corte profundo no joelho direito, o defensor, com sutura no local, ficará de fora dos próximos treinos do elenco, informou a assessoria.

Desta forma, Rodrigo Caio não deve estar entre os relacionados para a partida contra o Resende, pela quinta rodada da Taça Guanabara. A escalação ainda será definida por Jorge Jesus durante os treinos de sábado e domingo no CT.

Para o melhor aproveitamento possível da pré-temporada, a comissão técnica do português está utilizando a moderna estrutura do Ninho do Urubu e, nesta sexta-feira, chamou a atenção a utilização de um drone durante o trabalho no Campo 1, prática trazida ao clube pelo Jorge Jesus no meio do ano passado.

أبدى وحيد خليلهودزيتش، المدير الفني للمنتخب المغربي رأيه في موقف نادي برشلونة من استدعاء اللاعب الشاب عبد الصمد الزلزولي، إلى قائمة أسود الأطلس للمشاركة في كأس الأمم الإفريقية 2021.

في سن العشرين تم اختيار الجناح الشاب عبد الصمد الزلزولي مؤخرًا للمشاركة في كأس أمم إفريقيا مع المنتخب المغربي.

اسمه مدرج في قائمة الذين تم استدعاؤهم، لكنه ليس متأكدًا بنسبة 100٪ أنه يمكن أن يكون جزءًا من الفريق المتجه للكاميرون، وسيبذل ناديه برشلونة والاتحاد الإسباني كل ما في وسعه لثنيه عن الذهاب إلى هناك.

وحيد خليلهودزيتش، مدرب المنتخب المغربي أعطى رأيه للتو في هذا الوضع وقال في مقابلة مع “SportKlub” الصربية: “عبد الصمد هو لاعب شاب موهوب بشكل لا يصدق وسيكون له مسيرة رائعة”.

وأضاف: “الزلزولي لم يرفض قط المنتخب الوطني المغربي، وأعتقد أن المشكلة هي برشلونة لأنهم لا يحترمون كأس الأمم الإفريقية بما فيه الكفاية، الأندية الأوروبية الكبرى والفيفا لا تحترم ذلك بما فيه الكفاية”.

مثل كل لاعبي كرة القدم الذين يلعبون في أوروبا والمدعوين للعب كأس أمم إفريقيا، يحرص عبد الصمد على البقاء مع ناديه حتى 2 يناير.

وأفاد خليلهودزيتش: “أنا متأكد من أنه سيكون معنا في 3 يناير، نحن نعتمد عليه لأننا بحاجة إلى لاعب مخترق مثله، أعتقد أن برشلونة سيظهر الحكمة وسيتصرف بشكل صحيح”.

يذكر أن المنتخب المغربي يقع في مجموعة تضم منتخبات غانا والجابون وجزر القمر.

Reports by Le 10 Sport earlier this week claimed Stade de Reims are almost guaranteed to sell Boulaye Dia in the summer, but the striker’s efforts in Ligue 1 are starting to prove that West Ham were right to snub a January transfer.

Reims are unlikely to retain Dia beyond the current campaign as they are loath to lose the 24-year-old for free next year, when his £3k-per-week contract is due to expire.

With Dia also attracting interest from clubs around Europe, the Stade Auguste-Delaune natives feel they could recover at least €15m (£13m) for the Senegal international, despite the Irons refusing to match that valuation during the recently closed winter market.

Weekly magazine France Football claimed in January that David Moyes’ Irons felt the fee needed to acquire Dia in the middle of the campaign was too high for a player of his status, with the three-cap forward only in his third season of top-flight football.

Dia is also enjoying his best campaign in front of the net with 12 goals in 23 Ligue 1 appearances, though is yet to add to his tally since striking a brace at home to AS Saint-Etienne in early January.

Nonetheless, it was already proposed by France Football that the Plastics Vallee product was also on the radars of SSC Napoli, AC Milan and Torino, while Le 10 Sport now add Ligue 1 giants Olympique de Marseille and Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt to his list of suitors.

The German outfit seem particularly keen to elbow their way to the front of the queue, as well, with Adi Hutter’s Deutsche Bank Park natives planning to submit an offer at the end of the term.

Milan and Napoli have previously spoken with the attacker’s representatives over a move to Italy, while Telefoot Chaine, via GFFN, suggested the Irons were willing to pay €10m (£8.5m) in January.

But no matter the interest emerging around Europe, Dia’s efforts in Ligue 1 right now are proving Moyes and West Ham were right to ere on the side of caution and not swoop for the French-born striker.

Dia is six Ligue 1 appearances without a goal since scoring against Saint-Etienne, and it has not been through a lack of attempts with the 24-year-old taking 10 shots over those outings, per WhoScored.

He was also dispossessed five times – more than in any other league game this term – and took six unsuccessful touches – the second-highest amount in single-game – against RC Lens last time out, only against FC Nantes in December has he taken more (8).

Additionally, Dia registered a lowly 5.93 match rating against Angers SCO at the start of the month, to contribute to an average 6.2 over his last three appearances, far below his seasonal score of 6.92 or the personal best 9.62 achieved against Montpellier HSC in October.

The 5 ft 10 striker may have hit a brace in defeat to second-tier Valenciennes FC in the Coupe de France to take his tally to 14 in all competitions this season, and he would have offered another body in West Ham’s attack after Sebastien Haller joined AFC Ajax.

But Dia’s Ligue 1 efforts are only proving Moyes made the right call in refusing to match Reim’s asking price, and it will surely take a sizable turnaround for the Irons to swoop this summer.

It appears that the east Londoners dodged a sizeable bullet this January, even in their need for a proper striker replacement.
