Because of how fast the game moves, standing still and using game intelligence can sometimes be mistaken for laziness. He is a special player that is needed in certain games and certain situations. Nobody else can open up a defence, nobody else can pass the way he does, nobody else has the patience and the composure he brings when he plays. Most importantly, he has got end product. A lot of players get into good positions but they lack end product.
The Merseyside club are on 55 points with 19 games left to play, 13 points clear of second-placed Leicester City and 14 ahead of defending champions Manchester City, who have both played a game more. Liverpool became only the third team to go unbeaten in 50 consecutive home games in the English top flight when they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 on Sunday and Lallana said it would be more of the same in 2020.
They start 2020 with a home game against Manchester United who are in fifth and only four points behind the final Champions League place. The Gunners gave away a lead on Sunday and eventually lost 2-1 at home to Chelsea. United would have been a lot happier if Arsenal had held onto that lead against fourth placed Chelsea.

Boulogne right now seems to be unstoppable,they won 4 in a row they are on fifth position on the table and I really don't know how Bastia borgo could stop them from winning this game tonight,especially Bastia is not in that good shape with just 1 win on last 5 games played, also Bastia defense at home is pretty bad and on the other side Boulogne has terrific defense on the road so even one goal could be enough for Boulogne to win this game but I decided to go with small odd because I don't want to lose full stake in the case of draw
Paper Round’s view: United may be unwilling to fork out £60m on Fernandes, but if he really is their first-choice target, the club should just pay up. Yes that would be giving in to arguably lofty demands, but it’s the January transfer window, and signing an alternative for less would only be accepting second best.
There is a major problem still facing us. The aim is to make sure all the clubs survive and and we will be working 24 hours a day to make sure they do. We can't give guarantees. Who knows whether we have seen the end of this crisis or whether there is going to be a second spike. But our aim, our avowed aim, and we will be giving it our very best shot, is to make sure the EFL comes through this stronger than we are at the moment.
Eddie Howe's team are 18th in the table, three points adrift of safety with only two rounds to play. Worse still, the three teams above them, Brighton, West Ham, and Watford respectively, all have one game in hand at the time of writing. Southampton are in 12th place in the table and while qualifying for European competition is off the table, a top-ten finish is still an attainable goal.

The FA has created a double standard and I find it unacceptable. Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan will donate 28,000 Australian dollars {about £15,000} to a wildlife rescue fund in Australia after 56 saves were made in the Premier League this weekend. The Australian pledged to donate A$500 Australian dollars per save to Wires Wildlife Rescue in response to the bushfire crisis in his home country.

We are indignant and angry because once again refereeing has hurt Betis and it has not been fair," he said. Barcelona had complaints too, with Messi pulled back in the area at the end but Sanchez Martinez did not point to the spot. In the end we could have won by more goals, if you look at the penalty they didn't give Messi," said Barca midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
This is the last sixteen of the cup and Frankfurt come into this game in the best form since the winter break. Frankfurt have seven points from their last three league games and that includes a 2-0 home victory over Leipzig thanks to two second half goals. They have had mixed form this season and another European campaign looks unlikely, unless winning this competition.
Discussions have also taken place with the police, Public Health England and local government authorities about how sport might be able to return safely. Dowden said that this was "preparatory work" to see what would work "in practice", rather than getting ready for any imminent developments. On the public perception that the return of sport would produce, Dowden said: "I would just want to make sure that the signals we were sending from that were consistent with the signals that we were sending to the public more broadly.
It was 1:0 for Real in the first game, and away side won the second in the playoff with the same result. They beat favorite from Managua, Walter 1:0, in the quarter finals, and get to the duel with another rival from the same town. Real has good youth school and they could be light underestimated in the country. Team know how to lower the match on the small result, waiting for the rival mistake, especially when face favorite like this one.
It (injury list) has been added to with Sakho pulling his hamstring against Norwich so he's going to be missing for a considerable period of time," Hodgson told a news conference. Cahill has done his first training session today which is positive, so maybe it's one in, one out in terms of training. Hodgson said forward Wilfried Zaha would miss out due to a knock that he sustained against Norwich.
And you know what? The Warm-Up was right. Frank Lampard and his Bright-Eyed Youngsters went to Valencia looking for a win to take control of an intriguingly tight group. What they got was a 2-2 draw that could have been 5-5, and not just in the usual "oh, there were a few chances" way. We're talking air shots, missed penalties, inexplicable collapses.
Things at Macclesfield Town this season have not exactly been easy. Already with one of the lowest budgets in the league, they lost manager Sol Campbell due to a financial dispute and with the players and staff frequently being paid late, it is clear there are problems at the club which goes way beyond what is happening on the football pitch.
You either accept the plan or want to play constantly and be disruptive, which will just be miserable for everybody. Luiz would have been really disappointed with his performance against Manchester City but he has played since, helped keep clean sheets against Southampton, Norwich and Wolves, and that's all he can do. He just needs to keep working hard and try to adapt. Luiz needs to adapt his game now Arsenal signed David Luiz from Chelsea for £8m in August 2019Luiz was thrown in at the deep end when he came on as a substitute against City.
The Belarusian authorities have dismissed pandemic warnings as "psychosis" and have not officially enforced a lockdown in the country, with the pro-government media playing down fears about the spread of Covid-19.

All the latest goals and reaction from Thursday's Premier League gamesArteta has his work cut outArsenal reach the midway point closer to the relegation zone than the top four and have now dropped 24 points from the last 11 top-flight games, with home matches against Chelsea on Sunday and Manchester United on 1 January coming up. As the Arsenal players went to applaud the away fans at the end of an entertaining game, there was a special cheer for Arteta.
We feel that it will be tough to deny Dortmund all three points in this game. Lucien Favre's side are undefeated in each of their last five games, of which they've won three. Furthermore, Dortmund are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 Bundesliga games.
He won the competition in his first season in Madrid in 2014, scoring in extra time as Real came back from 1-0 down to stun city rivals Atletico 4-1. Bale's goal put his side ahead and they went on to complete a record 10th win. He was far from done. He scored in the penalty shootout as Madrid beat Atletico on penalties in 2016, before playing his part from the bench as he won the Champions League in his home city of Cardiff in 2017 against Juventus.

Through a combination of their away day struggles and their moral-sapping 0-1 at home to West Ham last week, the Saints self-belief is likely to be at a low ebb for their trip to Villa Park this weekend, and we're backing the hosts to take advantage.
There is little value on this bet, Lokomotiv Gomel is priced almost correctly this time at 1,62, true price would be 1,57. Still, I think this is a very safe bet for the away favorite this time. Gomel has scored 8 goals in 2 matches only and conceded only 2. So they are here for business and get promoted I think. Naftan has 2 draws and sits last on the table now. In Pershaya league we normally see more goals and I think there will be no exception in this game, but the with a victory for Gomelzheldortrans(what a name) =)
Managers sometimes leave a club and go back - but now it is not in my hands. I love Tottenham. I love the fans, I love the players, I love the club, the staff. When you leave a club, you always want them to win games because that means that the team is alive, that it is prepared to compete. For different reasons you split, but we are people that always want the best. I am happy that they are winning games because that love is never going to change.
Monaco have not won in three Ligue 1 away matches. Monaco have never lost to Amiens. Monaco have three straight wins over Amiens. Amiens are winless in their last eight matches. Amiens are winless in their last three home matches. Amiens, placed 19th in the Ligue 1 standings, will be hoping for some reprieve when they play host to 10th placed Monaco in the next round of matches in the French top flight.
Watford have held talks with former Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson and he is now favourite to succeed Quique Sanchez Flores. The Hornets have spoken to several candidates as they move to appoint what would be their third manager this season, with Pearson, 56, favourite. Flores was dismissed on Sunday after less than 90 days following the 2-1 defeat at Southampton. He succeeded Javi Gracia, who was sacked in September.
Had they beaten Bournemouth and Saints at Stamford Bridge like they really should have done, then they would be up with Leicester and we would be talking about the top four being a done deal. Chelsea are still in the driving seat at the moment, though, because they have got the points on the board, which is a big thing. It will come down to them and United for fourth, but I think the Blues will hang in there.

They suss you out for the first 15 minutes and they did that against Manchester City. Even though they were not playing well, they found themselves 2-0 up. Townsend said hosts Palace, who sit 12th, would have to play on the counter-attack if they were to have any chance of causing an upset, much like they did in a 2-1 win at Manchester United and 2-2 draw at Arsenal.
Their away form improved too with five points from their last three games, after seven successive defeats. They have a lot of work to do during the summer if their dreams of European football are ever going to come true. Survival is good enough at present though. Keeping clean sheets isn't their strongest asset.
The 21-year-old sought out Morata to apologise after the match, while both managers leapt to the player’s defence. It was the most important piece of play,” said opposing boss Simeone. I told him (Valverde) that he did what he had to do at that moment. I think the prize for the best player makes perfect sense because Valverde won the game in this action.
WEDNESDAY'S BIG STORIES Say no more Gilmour a top player BUT why didn't Klopp play a full strength team? Move over John Terry. There is a new Captain. Leader. Legend. Billy Gilmour.

Bayern's Joshua Kimmich is also back after suspension as the champions look to stretch their four-game winning run in the league and close the gap to leaders RB Leipzig. Leipzig, on 40 points, travel to Eintracht Frankfurt, while Gladbach, third on 35, host Mainz 05. Borussia Dortmund, fourth on 33, host Cologne on Friday.
I see it rather positive because from now on we can play free football again. We don't have to defend or try to get a record, we can just try to win football games again and that is what we will do," Klopp told reporters at Vicarage Road. Asked if there was any disappointment, he added: "Not really, because I don't think you can break records because you want to break records; you break records because you are 100 percent focused on each step.
After some eye-catching summer recruitment, Cagliari were expected to be a useful side this term, though few people would've expected them to do as well as they have. Monday's hosts find themselves in a lofty 4th place and are there on merit.
One thing is clear about this game is when the away team looses, it looses with a game ending with at least three goals and when the home team wins they like found so with much goals. Both teams are generous in defense and as per today little change has happened in both back lines. The trend won't be any different than previous games. Goals will be coming in from both ends and the team that outscores the other will emerge victorious although the home team is favorites to winning. Their last encounter produced a five goal thriller, hoping for one today.
Barcelona have scored 49 goals in the league this season but the Catalonians have scored an average of 1.50 goals on the road and have conceded an average of 1.30 goals which is why we are expecting a low-scoring affair this Thursday. Atletico have scored just 8 times away from home in the league but have also only conceded 6 goals and it will be interesting to see how that mean defence does against Barcelona’s attacking trio.
