Manchester United striker Anthony Martial let Solskjaer down against West Brom

Manchester United should consider themselves fortunate they picked up all three points after the Red Devils edged to victory in a gruelling encounter with West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford on Saturday night.

Several players were at fault for the poor performance, especially in the second half as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side survived a controversial penalty call, before referee David Coote pointed to the spot at the other end only moments later.

Bruno Fernandes forced a fine save from Baggies goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, although he was handed a reprieve by the referee after the former United keeper was adjudged to have strayed well off his line, with Fernandes firing into the top corner with his second attempt.

Marcus Rashford, who has been in such red-hot form this season, was uncharacteristically underwhelming, as he only managed to win seven out of 13 ground duels and missed one big chance, whilst Juan Mata didn’t offer much going forward either, with zero shots on target all game.

But it was Anthony Martial who massively let Solskjaer down with his disappointing display, as he has once again failed to find the back of the net in the Premier League so far this season.

The £54m-rated beast (via Transfermarkt) was rather wasteful leading the line, as he lost possession a staggering 18 times, which was more than Mata and Rashford. He also missed one big chance and delivered just one key pass throughout the game, via SofaScore.

Quite why the Frenchman played the full 90 minutes we’ll probably never understand, especially when you consider the fact that United were clinging on to a one-nil lead in the second half.

Martial took 60 touches of the ball, so he should have been able to spearhead the attack, but this wasn’t the case as the misfiring striker only managed just two shots on target, only to be denied by Johnstone with two excellent saves on both occasions.

He received an average rating of 7/10 for his efforts from 90min, who claimed he ‘should have broken the deadlock with a simple scoring chance early on, but couldn’t fire past Johnstone’ and added he was ‘kept under wraps for the rest of the game,’ whilst Samuel Luckhurst was even more scathing in his assessment, noting he ‘had an early header saved before he squandered a gilt-edged chance soon after’ and accused him of ‘going through the motions at times.’

Paul Scholes recently criticised the 24-year-old following the defeat by Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League for his “non-existent” movement as the Red Devils suffered their second defeat in four days after being humbled by Arsenal, which paints an all-too familiar picture.

Solskjaer should have taken Martial off long beforehand to save him from further embarrassment as he once again failed to make much of an impression.

Leeds United: Jack Harrison badly let Marcelo Bielsa down in Chelsea defeat

Leeds United were unable to continue their encouraging run of form as they were stopped in their tracks by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening.

Marcelo Bielsa and Frank Lampard went head-to-head for the fifth time and it didn’t disappoint with both Premier League teams firing over 30 shots between them in west London.

But it was the home side that ran out victors, defeating the Yorkshiremen 3-1, though it was no more than what they deserved.

Former Blues striker Patrick Bamford gave United an early lead, but goals from Olivier Giroud, Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic mounted heaps of misery on the Argentine by the full-time whistle.

There were several disappointing individual displays across the pitch for the top-flight newcomers but Chelsea’s shut-down of Jack Harrison may have proven to be the major difference.

The 24-year-old, who briefly played with Lampard at New York City in 2016, was lightweight and wasteful, so perhaps it was hardly a surprise to see him hooked by the hour mark.

In the end, even goalkeeper Illan Meslier managed more touches and passes than Harrison.

The Man City loan star also won just 44% of his nine duels, both aerially and on the ground, and failed to deliver a cross from three attempts. From his 39 touches, Harrison even lost possession 11 times and failed to get a shot on target, via SofaScore.

It was a shocking performance all round and undoubtedly, he let Bielsa down as his first-choice and usually dependant winger.

LeedsLive’s chief reporter Beren Cross graded the £45k-per-week star’s performance a five out of ten, and claimed: “Quiet all evening. Much of United’s best stuff came down the right flank and Harrison looked away from the main thrust of the game.”

That merely reinforces the fact that it was an off-night for the anonymous Harrison.

The €15m-rated (£13.5m) dynamo will have to do a lot better with fixtures against the three United’s, West Ham, Newcastle and Manchester, before Christmas.

حلم تحقق وغرامة مالية.. الطفلة أديسون تروي كواليس الهروب من الأمن ولقاء رونالدو

كسب النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو احترام الجميع بلفتته الطيبة تجاه طفلة تبلغ من العمر 11 عامًا، ركضت على أرض الملعب للحصول على قميصه.

الفتاة الصغيرة التي ركضت على أرض الملعب من أجل قميص كريستيانو رونالدو تدعي أنه تم تغريمها 2500 جنيه إسترليني.

قفزت أديسون ويلان (11 عامًا)، الحاجز في ملعب دبلن بعد تعادل إيرلندا 0-0 مع البرتغال، واتجهت مباشرة إلى رونالدو.

تهربت من اثنين من حراس الأمن في هذه العملية قبل أن تصرخ في وجه رونالدو، الذي أمر الرجال بالوقوف وسلم الفتاة الصغيرة قميصه.

اعترفت أديسون بسرورها بالتفاعل لكنها كشفت منذ ذلك الحين عن تغريمها مبلغ ضخم قدره 2500 جنيه إسترليني بسبب الحيلة.

قالت لـ”FM104″: “لقد تم تغريمي لأنني ركضت إلى أرض الملعب، ووالدي سيدفعها”.

وأضافت أديسون أن والدها سيكون “مسرورًا” إذا تقدم شخص آخر لدفع تلك الغرامة المالية الكبيرة. شاهد كريستيانو رونالدو يهدي قميصة لطفلة

أديسون تلعب مع فريق شيلبورن تحت 13 عامًا، قالت في وقت سابق لـ “RTE Radio 1”: “قفزت فوق الحاجز لأنني كنت في الصف الثاني، قفزت فوق الصف الأول وفوق الحاجز”.

وتابعت: “ثم انطلقت بسرعة إلى أرض الملعب، ولكن كان هناك حراس أمن يركضون خلفي وكان هناك اثنان آخران قادمان من الزاوية الأخرى لذلك واصلت الركض”.

وواصلت: “عندما رأيت الاثنين الآخرين قادمين من الزاوية الأخرى، ركضت أكثر نحو خط الوسط، ثم تمكنت من الانحراف حولهما، لكن بعد ذلك أمسكا بي”.

تدخل كريستيانو رونالدو وأمر حراس الأمن بترك الفتاة الصغيرة وشأنها، وتابعت أديسون: “ثم كنت فقط أصرخ باسم رونالدو استدار ورآني وكان يطلب منهم أن يتركوني”.

وأتمت: “ثم قمت بالنداء باسمه، لقد جاء إلي كنت فقط في حالة صدمة وأبكي قائلة هل يمكنني الحصول على قميصك؟ من فضلك، من فضلك أنا معجبة كبيرة للغاية، كان يقول لي هل أنت بخير؟’.

بعد اطمئنانه على أديسون، سلم رونالدو الفتاة الصغيرة قميصه وتم اصطحابها أخيرًا خارج الملعب.

وأضافت البالغة من العمر 11 عامًا: “عندما رآه والدي وهو يخلع القميص، كان وجه والدي في حالة صدمة، وأنا كنت أقول يا إلهي، هذا هو، هذا حلمي، لقد تحقق أخيرًا، ربما كانت هذه هي المرة الأخيرة التي يلعب فيها في أيرلندا، وقال رونالدو إنني أقدر ذلك وكل شيء”.

Arena padrão Fifa e bicampeão de SE: o que espera o Fla na Copa do Brasil

MatériaMais Notícias

Na contramão do que costuma acontecer com muitos clubes nas primeiras fases da Copa do Brasil, o Flamengo vai encontrar uma estrutura “Padrão Fifa” quando enfrentar o Confiança-SE no “Novo Batistão”, a reformada arena da capital sergipana. O estádio passou por uma grande reforma entre 2013 e 2015 e, hoje, é considerado um dos mais modernos do Nordeste, embora tenha capacidade para apenas15.575 pagantes. Oficialmente, o duelo ainda não está confirmado no Batistão, mas muito provavelmente será no local.

O estádio, aliás, recebeu a seleção da Grécia durante a Copa do Mundo. Os gregos fizeram toda a preparação para a competição na cidade sergipana. Naquela altura, o Novo Batistão ainda não estava 100% pronto. A parte interna, como gramado, arquibancada e vestiários, estava toda reformada. Do lado de fora, entretanto, ainda restavam algumas obras. Assim, a arena foi reaberta de forma oficial em fevereiro do ano passado, no jogo entre Confiança e Vitória, pela primeira fase da Copa do Nordeste.

Dentro de campo, o Rubro-Negro pode esperar uma equipe que passou muito perto do acesso à Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Confiança foi eliminado pelo Londrina, vice-campeão da Série C, nas quartas de final da competição. Empatou em 0 a 0 no Novo Batistão e perdeu de 1 a 0 fora de casa. Um empate com gols garantiria a vaga na Segundona, o que não aconteceu. A equipe sergipana é a atual bicampeã estadual e, sem dúvidas, o time mais forte atualmente do estado. A base do time de 2015 foi mantida, apesar das consideráveis perdas do goleiro Everson e do volante Richardson.

Time base:Rafael Sandes; Nei Maruim, Eron, Carlinhos e Izaldo,; Flávio, Éverton Santos, Wallace Pernambucano e Júnior Paraíba; Danilo Bala e Warley (Leandro Kivel).

COM A PALAVRA
PAULO ROBERTO, EDITOR DE ESPORTES DO JORNAL DA CIDADE (SE).

“É o atual bicampeão sergipano. Chegou nas quartas da Série C, ficou perto de subir, mas caiu para o Londrina. Hoje é considerado o clube da segunda maior torcida daqui, porque o Sergipe é a o time das multidões. Podemos dizer que manteve 70% da base que jogou a Série C, mas perdeu dois atletas que eram muito importantes. O goleiro Everson, que era ídolo e um paredão, saiu em plena Série C para o Ceará. E no fim do ano o volante Richardson também foi para o Ceará. No domingo, perdeu de 1 a 0 para o Penedense em um jogo-treino no Sabino Ribeiro, que é o estádio, de fato, do Confiança.

Nenhum jogador é muito conhecido. O técnico, Betinho, atuou muito no futebol de São Paulo no início da década de 1990. O melhor que tinha no time era o Richardson. Um ídolo, mas foi embora. Antes era o Everson, que também saiu. Hoje podemos dizer que o principal é o atacante Leandro Kivel, mas ele não foi tão bem na Série C. O clube aguarda uma parceria com o Vitória para tentar o empréstimo de alguns jogadores.

A expectativa é de um grande público. a arena está linda, toda reformada.”

Nas redes sociais, Kelvin se despede do Palmeiras e agradece

MatériaMais Notícias

O atacante Kelvin não faz parte do elenco do Palmeiras desde 31 de dezembro de 2015, quando seu contrato de empréstimo terminou, mas despediu-se apenas nesta terça-feira, com mensagem nas redes sociais.

A demora explica-se porque seus empresários acreditavam que seria possível conseguir um novo empréstimo ao Verdão. Ao clube, o negócio interessaria se não fosse preciso pagar nada. Não deu certo.

“Queria agradecer a família ´palmeirense pelo ano que se passou e que estivemos juntos! Ano de reformulação, de muitas dificuldades, de vitórias e glórias. Grato pelas amizades que fiz, que me ajudaram desde o início quando me lesionei gravemente e pude recuperar 100%.Agradeço também o carinho e a confiança do torcedor palmeirense, graças a vocês também que consegui realizar mais um sonho em minha carreira, ser Campeão da Copa do Brasil!”, escreveu o jovem de 22 anos.

“Fico triste em estar saindo desse grande clube que me acolheu muito bem, mas fico muito feliz por ter feito parte dessa grande história que o Palmeiras vem construindo. Nunca sairá do meu coração! OBRIGADO PALMEIRAS”, completou Kelvin, que não conseguiu se firmar como titular.

Wolves must start Fabio Silva against Aston Villa

Since arriving from Porto in a big-money deal back in the summer transfer window, it’s fair to say it’s been a slow start for Fabio Silva at Wolves.

The 18-year-old has understandably been eased into life in English football, with just 142 minutes of Premier League football spread out over six games – his only starts for the club have come in the Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy.

But with Raul Jimenez being forced out of action with a sickening clash of heads in the game against Arsenal a couple of weeks ago, there has surely never been a more perfect time for Nuno Espirito Santo to unshackle his teenage prodigy.

Silva’s potential is undoubted among those in the Wolves camp, with Jeff Shi waxing lyrical about his new signing a few months ago. He said: “Our recruitment team have been watching Fabio since he played for Portugal Under-16s. They feel he has always been the best number nine coming through his age group anywhere in Europe.

“Fabio is a young player who shows not only incredible technical ability, but also his game intelligence for a player of his age is top class.”

And with Saturday’s opponents in the Premier League, Aston Villa, coming into the game off the back of two successive defeats against the likes of Brighton and West Ham, Silva has a perfect opportunity to hand Silva his first start in the top-flight.

With games coming thick and fast this month, making sure his young striker is ready to play from the off could be the key to ensuring Nuno has his team firing on all cylinders and not missing Jimenez too much.

With the clash against Villa coming at Molineux too, Silva will be in familiar surroundings, and it’s surely all set up for him to shine.

Meanwhile, Wolves can find their long-term Moutinho successor in this Brazilian prodigy.

Predicted Everton XI vs Man Utd: Coleman and Tosun start, Calvert-Lewin rested

Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that changes are on the cards for Everton when they host Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Wednesday night.

The Toffees welcome Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Red Devils back to Goodison Park for the second time in two months looking to avenge a 3-1 Premier League defeat and secure progression through to the semi-final of the EFL Cup for the first time since 2016.

Everton lost 4-3 on aggregate to Manchester City the last time they reached the final four, and have not gone all the way to the final since finishing as runners-up during the 1983/84 season in the sole domestic competition the Blues are yet to ever win.

So, with changes likely from the side which beat Arsenal at the weekend as Ancelotti looks to rest and rotate his favoured players over the hectic festive schedule, here’s a line-up the Italian could name…

Jordan Pickford’s relentless stay between the Everton posts in Premier League games was brought to an end when the goalkeeper was benched at Newcastle United earlier this season before again being rested at Leicester City last week, and he may find that Robin Olsen earns the gig against United in the midweek Carabao Cup clash.

Ancelotti has confirmed he is yet to decide on who starts on Wednesday night, but wishes to name as strong a side as possible.

“I didn’t decide yet for tomorrow but for sure because we are going to play a lot of games, I’m going to rotate the goalkeepers,” the former Chelsea boss said, via quotes by the Liverpool Echo. “If Jordan plays tomorrow, then Robin will play against Sheffield United or vice versa.”

The performances of defenders Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane and Yerry Mina against Arsenal should see the trio retain their starting places alongside midfielders Abdoulaye Doucoure and Gylfi Sigurdsson plus wing maestro Richarlison in Wednesday’s cup meeting.

Mason Holgate, despite impressing, may find that he misses out, though, after Seamus Coleman made his return from a hamstring injury as a late substitute in the weekend’s win.

Question marks also reside over Tom Davies’ involvement against the Red Devilswith him having struggled to fill Allan’s void at home to the Gunners, with Andre Gomes a potential replacement should Ancelotti consider a more attacking box-to-box presence.

Ancelotti will be without summer arrival James Rodriguez after noting the Colombian has failed to overcome a calf injury in time, despite hopes of the 29-year-old being fit to face United, and he will now look to the Sheffield United game for his return.

Alex Iwobi has stood in for the former Real Madrid playmaker in recent weeks yet he too could sit out to afford academy graduate Anthony Gordon, who David Unsworth lauds as a “special talent”, only his second first-team start of the season after three assists in the early EFL Cup rounds.

Cenk Tosun will be hoping he, too, earns a rare start against United in place of top-scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with the Carabao Cup clash a potential final chance for the in-demand striker to put in a performance that could save his Goodison Park future.

Calvert-Lewin has started all 14 of Everton’s Premier League games and two of their three EFL Cup ties, scoring 14 times and providing one assist, while not missing a minute of top-flight football since matchday two in September.
