Sunderland fans blast Lynden Gooch

Flocking to Twitter, many Sunderland fans voiced their criticism for Lynden Gooch following his display in their penalty shoot out loss to Bradford City on Tuesday night.

The Black Cats did just enough to reach the knockout rounds of the EFL trophy, topping Group F, after drawing 1-1 in normal time to Bradford – but the game went to penalties anyway to decide an overall victor.

Lee Johnson’s side have secured a home tie for the next round by topping their group, with Nathan Broadhead’s strike earning the solitary point needed after Bradford’s Theo Robinson opened the scoring.

Even though they got the job done, Sunderland have also extended their winless run of games to six on the trot with their last victory coming away to Crewe Alexandra in mid-October.

Both Alex Pritchard and Gooch saw their penalties saved by the travelling side after normal time as Bradford clinched the shoot-out win – with many supporters taking aim at the latter man in particular.

While squandering his penalty in the shoot-out, Gooch was also ranked among Sunderland’s lowest performers on the night according to SofaScore – coming in as the joint-fifth worst starter with a 6.9 rating.

His overall evening also proved a sloppy one with the 25-year-old completing just 2/7 crosses, 4/11 long balls and losing possession a seismic 32 times – as well as getting booked (SofaScore).

Taking these numbers into account, and the fact Gooch saw his spot-kick saved, it’s little wonder supporters weren’t impressed.

Find all of their verdicts from Twitter down below.

Sunderland fans slam Gooch…

“And, surprise, surprise, he got himself booked. Again. I can’t remember the last game he played when he wasn’t booked. His quality of play is awful and his decision-making is worse. Johnson’s blue-eyed boy though. Unlike Embleton.”

“No qualms with him missing a pen, especially in the most pointless shootout ever, but his performance even out of position was shocking, simple things. His attitude to storm off the pitch while everyone else remained to clap, disgusting.

“Truly is a frustrating footballer. The way he’s regressed in recent years is mind blowing. Went from being arguably one of the best in the league to one of the most unreliable in the squad.”

Dyson sacked as West Indies coach

John Dyson: sacked as West Indies coach•Getty Images

West Indies cricket lurches from one precipitous state to another, with the news that the board (WICB) has sacked the coach, John Dyson, ahead of the forthcoming Champions Trophy.Dyson departs after West Indies’ calamitous Test and one-day series defeats to Bangladesh. West Indies fielded a severely depleted team following a dispute between the WICB and the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) over contracts, during which the majority of leading players declined to nominate for selection.”At the moment I don’t wish to talk,” Dyson said when contacted by Cricinfo on Thursday.Dyson will be temporarily replaced by David Williams, the assistant coach. Williams has never hidden his ambition to become the side’s full-time mentor, having previously expressed his dissatisfaction at the appointment of Dyson, the former Australia batsman and Sri Lanka coach, over a West Indian candidate.Dyson assumed the post in 2007 from another Australian, Bennett King, but was almost immediately in the bad books of West Indies fans when he couldn’t attend their series against Zimbabwe. His appointment came hot on the heels of Jeff Dujon’s less than ringing endorsement of cricket in the region, when he said “no coach in the world can help West Indies”.Nevertheless, Dyson made a positive start when West Indies beat South Africa at Port Elizabeth – their first Test victory since May 2005, and first outside of the Caribbean in seven years. The Windies amassed a Test record of three wins, seven draws and nine defeats during his tenure – culminating in four straight losses to England and Bangladesh – and a 9-25 win-loss ratio in the one-day international arena. They lost nine of their final 10 completed 50-over matches against England, India and Bangladesh.The West Indians fared better in the 20-over format, advancing to the semi-final of the World Twenty20 in June. But perhaps their greatest achievement under Dyson was their 1-0 Test series victory over England in February; a result that secured them the Wisden Trophy for the first time since 1998.The feel-good factor did not last. After the ECB and WICB hastily arranged a Test and ODI series in England, Dyson was left with a disgruntled squad, several of whom yearned to be playing in the lucrative IPL. Chris Gayle prolonged his stay with Kolkata Knight Riders until the eve of the Lord’s Test, while Dwayne Bravo was absent from both Test matches while plying his trade for Mumbai Indians.In addition to Dyson’s sacking, the manager, Omar Khan, has been replaced by Lance Gibbs for the Champions Trophy due to the “special circumstances” of the tour. West Indies are also sending a shadow side to South Africa in September despite the main players saying they were available for selection.

مهاجم ليفربول السابق: هاري كين سيبكي أسبوعًا إذا لم يسجل مثل محمد صلاح أمام بورنموث

أوضح مهاجم ليفربول السابق، دين سوندرز، الفارق بين محمد صلاح وهاري كين إذا كان الأخير في موقف مشابه لما تعرض الفرعون المصري له في مباراة بورنموث الماضية في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وغاب محمد صلاح عن تسجيل الأهداف في مباراة ليفربول وبورنموث رغم تسجيل زملائه 9 أهداف في المباراة التي أقيمت عصر يوم، السبت الماضي، على ملعب “أنفيلد”.

وتحدث سوندرز عن وجهة نظره في الفارق بين محمد صلاح وكين في تصريحات لشبكة “talkSPORT” الإنجليزي، وقال: “الشيء الأهم هو كمهاجم وهداف غير متكافئين، اعتدت النهوض من الفراش في الصباح وأفكر في كم عدد الأهداف التي يمكنني تسجيلها اليوم؟”.

وتابع: “كل يوم لا شيء آخر مهم في حياتي سوى تسجيل الأهداف في التدريبات، كيف يمكنني أن أتطور أمام الفريق الذي ألعب ضده”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أن هذه هي أكبر نقاط قوة كين، دافعه ورغبته في تسجيل الأهداف، أنت تعلم أنه كان لديك بعض اللاعبين الذين لعبت معهم وكانوا لاعبين لامعين لكنهم لم يهتموا حقًا إذا سجلوا أهدافًا أم لا”.

وواصل تصريحاته: “أنا متأكد أن كين يفعل، إذا كان يلعب مع ليفربول يوم السبت، وسجلوا تسعة أهداف ولم يسجل أبدًا، سيبكي طوال الأسبوع”.

وأتم: “كين لاعب ذكي جدًا، لم أكن اعتقد أن هناك أي لاعب قادر على كسر رقم آلان شيرر، لكني أرى أن هاري سيركز على هذا الهدف تمامًا ليحققه”.

Hendry drops Rangers update

An update has emerged in Ibrox chief Ross Wilson’s efforts to bring a new manager to Rangers this week…

What’s the talk?

Go Radio journalist Jo Hendry has claimed that the club’s search for Steven Gerrard is not going to drag on much longer, although they are in no rush to make an immediate appointment.

She has also ruled out the possibility of Ronald Koeman taking over in Glasgow, stating that he has never been in the running.

The Daily Record quote her as saying:

“Talks ongoing today [Tuesday] as Rangers continue the search for a new manager. Former Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman never under consideration. I’m told despite being in no rush to appoint, the process isn’t going to drag on too long.”

Pleasing

Whilst Rangers fans may not be over the moon with Koeman being out of the race to land the hot seat, they will surely be buzzing by the rest of Hendry’s claims.

For starters, talks are evidently still ongoing over a deal for someone to replace Gerrard, which means that Wilson is actively working hard to get a move over the line in the coming days.

He is not twiddling his thumbs and waiting for responses from candidates or for other options to become available. Consequently, this should delight fans who want to see the club being proactive and on the front foot in their pursuit of a new head coach.

They will also be buzzing with the comment ‘the process isn’t going to drag on too long’ as it indicates that Rangers may well have a manager in place sooner rather than later. This is a particularly important point given the club face a semi-final clash with Hibernian in the League Cup on Sunday.

The Gers have an opportunity to reach the final of the competition and Rangers fans would love to see a new head coach achieve that in their first game.

Imagine, for example, Gio van Bronckhorst ending his first match in charge of the club by sending them through to the final with a chance of winning their first trophy of the season. This is why supporters will be ecstatic with the news that the appointment will not drag on in the coming days/weeks. It’s pleasing to see Rangers acting so swiftly with proceedings.

AND in other news, Major twist emerges in Rangers manager hunt that should leave fans elated…

Villa fans flock to Glen Kamara update

Flocking to Twitter, many Aston Villa fans have raved over a transfer claim involving Rangers’ Glen Kamara so soon after Steven Gerrard’s appointment in the Midlands.

The Liverpool hero has now taken charge of Villa, replacing Dean Smith in what is a new era, and club chief Christian Purslow will be hoping that the 41-year-old hits the ground running.

This may involve backing Gerrard in the January transfer market as he aims to revive the Villans’ recently torrid fortunes and potentially spark a mid-season resurgence. Before Smith’s sacking, Villa had lost five on the bounce, with their last win coming away to Manchester United in late September.

The Daily Record have reported of a transfer link involving Gerrard and one man he could try to poach from former club Rangers. According to their information, Villa are now set to target Finland international Kamara after the 41-year-old’s arrival, with sporting director Johan Lange already a big fan.

Gerrard’s appointment will apparently ramp up their interest in the midfielder, who was a mainstay under him last year as his Gers side clinched the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership crown.

According to WhoScored, the 26-year-old averaged a higher pass accuracy (90.7%) than any regular player in his squad – leaving little wonder Gerrard’s arrival is set to increase Villa’s interest.

Flocking to this claim, many Villa fans have been left ecstatic, with one calling Kamara a would-be ‘top signing’ – check out some of their best verdicts below.

Anwar tipped as batting coach

Former opener Saeed Anwar is expected to be hired by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as a batting coach for the national team

Cricinfo staff13-Aug-2009Former opener Saeed Anwar is expected to be hired by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as a batting coach for the national team. A statement released by the PCB said Anwar had been approached by chairman Ijaz Butt and that he had emerged as a prime candidate.”Chairman PCB today had a discussion with Saeed Anwar regarding utilisation of his services for cricket. The chairman and Saeed Anwar will meet in the coming week to discuss the plan in detail,” the statement said.Anwar, 40, reportedly offered to assist Pakistan, who have been struggling at the top of the innings recently. Butt hoped Anwar’s expertise would help the team. “I am thankful for Saeed’s encouraging response and his offer to assist PCB and Pakistan players. I am sure Saeed will be able to contribute a lot to Pakistan cricket,” Butt said.As an international player Anwar made his one-day international on New Year’s Day 1989, and entered Test cricket two years later. In 55 Tests he scored 4052 runs at 45.52, including 11 hundreds, but he achieved global fame through his exploits in ODIs.The PCB, in the interim, have appointed Javed Miandad as the batting adviser to the national team in preparation for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Pakistan collapsed thrice in the first two Tests to lose the series against Sri Lanka and Miandad’s guidance, the board believes, will help the team address the problem. “We have requested Miandad help our team’s batting before next month’s Champions Trophy in South Africa and take care of (the team’s) problems,” Butt said at a press conference. “We had batting failures and I will be meeting each and every player here on Friday.”Miandad was a former coach of the Pakistan team and is currently the director general of the PCB and a member of the PCB Governing Board.

وكيل رونالدو يجري محادثات مع ناديين لإبعاده عن مانشستر يونايتد

يسعى خورخي مينديز، وكيل نجم فريق مانشستر يونايتد كريستيانو رونالدو، إلى حسم مستقبل البرتغالي في الأيام القليلة المتبقية من موسم الانتقالات الصيفي الحالي.

ومن المقرر أن تنتهي نافذة الانتقالات الصيفية لعام 2022 يوم الخميس المقبل.

ويسعى رونالدو إلى مغادرة مانشستر يونايتد هذا الصيف، من أجل المشاركة في دوري أبطال أوروبا، بعدما فشل الشياطين الحمر في التأهل إلى البطولة.

وارتبط رونالدو بأكثر من نادِ طوال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية، مثل بايرن ميونخ، باريس سان جيرمان، أتلتيكو مدريد، تشيلسي، وغيرهم، ولكن لم يقدم أي نادِ عرضًا لضمه.

وحسبما ذكرت صحيفة “إندبندنت” الإنجليزية، فإن خورخي مينديز يقوم حاليًا بمحاولة أخيرة من أجل إبعاد رونالدو عن صفوف مانشستر يونايتد، مع خيار إعارة إما إلى نابولي أو سبورتينج لشبونة من بين الخيارات القليلة المتبقية.

وأوضحت أن مينديز أجرى مناقشات مع مسؤولي مانشستر يونايتد في عطلة نهاية الأسبوع لمحاولة حسم الموقف، رغم أن القضية الرئيسية لا تزال تتمثل في قلة المتقدمين للاعب البالغ من العمر 37 عامًا.

كان مينديز على اتصال مع كل من نادي نابولي الإيطالي وسبورتينج لشبونة البرتغالي في الأيام القليلة الماضية، حيث يبدو أن كلاهما قابلين لإتمام الصفقة.

من المحتمل أن تكون أي خطوة بمثابة إعارة لمدة موسم، حيث يدفع يونايتد جزءًا من الأجور.

كان مقدار راتب البرتغالي – الذي يُفهم أنه أكثر من 500 ألف جنيه إسترليني في الأسبوع – أحد العقبات الرئيسية أمام الانتقال هذا الصيف، حيث شعرت معظم الأندية الكبرى أن تأثيره لم يعد يستحق المال.

قد يكون لأي صفقة تأثير غير مباشر على بقية أعمال يونايتد، في أيام قليلة مزدحمة بالنسبة للنادي.

Mayke vive melhor fase no Palmeiras e não pretende mais sair do time

MatériaMais Notícias

No sábado, contra o Atlético-MG, Mayke fez seu primeiro jogo desde que se recuperou da lesão no tornozelo que o tirou do time titular às vésperas de jogo decisivo pela Libertadores, no começo de agosto. Mas o lateral-direito já sente que vive sua melhor fase no Palmeiras e quer ficar de vez na equipe.

– Sim (estou na melhor fase no Palmeiras). Quando machuquei o tornozelo, fiquei um tempo fora. Como nossa equipe é muito qualificada, procurei espaço de novo, sem abaixar a cabeça, treinei forte e tive oportunidade de novo. Fico feliz porque o treinador vê nosso lado, assim como Egídio. Fazíamos excelentes treinos e procuramos fazer igual nos jogos, dando o máximo em campo para ajudar a equipe.

Cuca argumentou que optou por Mayke em Belo Horizonte porque o lateral-direito, assim como Egídio, “pediu passagem” pelo desempenho nos treinamentos. E é esse nível que o camisa 12 pretende manter para embalar de vez para ter sequência na equipe.

– Vou procurar estar sempre procurando jogar e ajudar. Fiquei feliz de ter voltado contra o Atlético-MG, e agora tem mais um jogo. Estou pronto para sempre ajudar e dar meu melhor em campo.Procuro entrar em campo e fazer o que Cuca me pede, ajudando e dando meu máximo. Fazendo isso, sempre estarei nos olhos do treinador e ajudando o Palmeiras.

Enquanto tenta se firmar no Palmeiras, Mayke convive com a pressão de repetir o desempenho que o tornou destaque no bicampeonato brasileiro do Cruzeiro em 2013 e 2014. Mas o lateral-direito avisa que retomar aquelas atuações não é seu objetivo, já que ele pensa apenas em olhar para frente e evoluir.

– Não serei o mesmo Mayke de 2013 e 2014, mas procuro ser o Mayke de 2017 e estou no caminho certo. Terei ajuda dos meus companheiros, estou feliz, em crescente, e procurarei ser o Mayke que sempre ajuda o Palmeiras, com títulos e fazendo história. Nesses últimos dois anos, mais em 2016, tive uma lesão, ficando oito meses parado, atrapalhou bastante. Penso em não lesionar mais e estar sempre dentro de campo, atuando e fazendo bons jogos.

Confira outros temas abordados por Mayke em sua entrevista coletiva nesta quinta-feira, na Academia de Futebol:

Fundamentos a melhorar
Quando chegamos ao ataque, temos visão melhor. Treino sempre procurando me empenhar ao máximo na defesa, para melhorar, mas no ataque também. Quando lateral sobe, é perigoso para o adversário. Penso na defesa e no ataque.

Dificuldade do futebol brasileiro para revelar laterais
Desde a base, criam muitos atacantes e meias. Cheguei à base do Cruzeiro como meia, mas cheguei ao profissional como lateral. Tem excelentes laterais, mas da base saem muitos atacantes e meias.

Jogo contra o Coritiba
Como todos sabem, será um jogo muito difícil, Brasileiro não tem jogo fácil. Estamos trabalhando e estudando bastante o time deles. Em casa, temos de impor nosso ritmo. Torcida estará lá e faremos de tudo para ganhar.

Título brasileiro
Todos estamos acompanhando. Não olhamos muito o Corinthians, olhamos nós e procuramos ganhar para chegar ao topo da tabela.Passo a passo. Queremos nos manter no G4 e trabalhamos para isso, mas, devagar, se formos encostando no Corinthians, vamos buscar sempre o título enquanto tivermos chance.Vamos procurar fazer nossa parte, fazer a melhor campanha, pensando jogo a jogo, pontuando em casa e fora. Se times de cima tropeçarem, alcançaremos o topo da tabela. esse é o nosso objetivo e vamos buscá-los.

Jogar no Pacaembu
Pacaembu é um excelente estádio também, a torcida estará lá apoiando. Para o nosso time, não mudará muito, não.

Linha defensiva
Ali atrás, qualquer um que entrar dá conta do recado. Mas treinamos juntos, sempre mantendo a linha de quatro. O entrosamento é mais prático, estudamos o adversário juntos. Mas o Juninho, que está entrando agora, fará um excelente jogo. Não muda muito porque ele e Luan são novos, buscando espaço no time.Na defesa, estamos fazendo um excelente trabalho, mas não começa ali. Começa com Deyverson, Dudu, Keno. Precisamos dar parabéns a todos porque trabalhamos muito para isso. O time ganha mais força, atitude para chegar à frente e fazer o gol, e não tomar gol em contra-ataque. E para ganhar confiança e fazer excelentes jogos.

Felipe Melo
Felipe Melo sempre nos ajudou muito e, com certeza, vai nos ajudar muito ainda. É experiente, só tem a somar. Chegou com outra cabeça e vai nos ajudar muito no campeonato.Quando a pessoa sai do time, fica um tempo fora, fica chateado, ninguém gosta de ficar sem jogar. Ele está bem, nos ajudando, fazendo físico para, quando estiver pronto, ajudar. É excelente jogador e pode nos ajudar também fora de campo, porque é muito experiente.

Diferença entre Keno e Guerra no time
No meu trabalho, não muda muito. Os dois têm muita qualidade. Cuca é inteligente, estuda adversário e monta o time para fazer um excelente jogo contra o Coritiba.

Objetivo na semana de treinos
Procuramos melhorar sempre o que erramos, sempre trabalhamos isso, e também em relação ao adversário, se tem bola aérea forte. Sempre trabalhamos para melhorar e em cima do adversário.

Man City: Fans react to Zinchenko rumour

Newcastle United will look to sign Manchester City left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko on loan during the January transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.

As to be expected, the exit rumour has had plenty of City supporters talking on social media.

Zinchenko, who has been hailed as ‘incredible’ by Pep Guardiola, has been at the Etihad Stadium since 2016 and has made 106 appearances in sky blue.

He started in midfield against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, but the Ukraine international has only made two Premier League appearances (both as a substitute) during the current campaign.

The Daily Mail shared a story on Thursday, suggesting that Newcastle will attempt an ambitious loan deal during the winter window for the 24-year-old.

Zinchenko has been reluctant to leave City in the past and is under contract until 2024, but it seems as if Eddie Howe’s side will look to seal a temporary deal over the coming months.
