Saints fans react to Ward-Prowse news

Many Southampton fans have been reacting to the news that James Ward-Prowse is a doubt for the match against Burnley this weekend after picking up an injury while away on international duty.

The £25.2m-valued Saints captain was selected by Gareth Southgate for the recent round of 2022 World Cup qualifiers against San Marino, Albania and Poland. He started the clash against the former as the Three Lions won 5-0, while he came on from the bench against Albania in an eventual 2-0 victory for his country.

However, he was sent home prior to the third match against Poland with a calf issue (The Sun). Ahead of the clash against the Clarets this weekend, Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has revealed that Ward-Prowse is a doubt for the game (southamptonfc.com). Were he to be unavailable, it would be a huge blow for the south coast outfit, with the skipper contributing to more league goals than any of his team-mates.

These Southampton fans themselves were quick to share their thoughts on the update, and they took to social media platform Twitter to vent their fury.

Howey tips Pochettino to succeed Guardiola

In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Steve Howey, who made 270 appearances during his career, has claimed there are not many managers who will be able to come in and replace Pep Guardiola successfully.

Since arriving at the Etihad, Guardiola has won every trophy available to him apart from the Champions League, with the furthest stage they’ve reached being the quarter-finals.

Guardiola has made City a well-oiled machine in both attack and defence now with the addition of Ruben Dias this season, which has fixed their usually leaky defence, thus making them the favourites to win the Champions League.

Speaking on how it will be difficult to find someone capable of replacing Guardiola at City and who could fill the void, Howey told FFC:

“You’ve got Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid and there’s maybe one or two others like Tuchel at Chelsea who is very well thought of, but it was a strange one when he left PSG.

“Obviously, Mauricio Pochettino is at PSG now. So if he does well then he could potentially be a suitor for Man City. It’ll be interesting to see how things pan out over the next season or two.”

Since Man City were taken over in 2008 they have had a number of managers with a lot of them being successful domestically, like Guardiola, however, they’ve all struggled in Europe.

City face Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the Champions League which will give them a first-hand view of Erling Haaland who they are linked with.

Calça da sorte? Cuca dá risada de nova 'superstição' no Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Conhecido por ser uma pessoa supersticiosa, Cuca levou na brincadeira quando perguntado sobre a sua nova peça da “sorte”. Desde o jogo contra a Chapecoense, o técnico do Palmeiras veste uma calça vinho, e com ela está invicto. Só não a usou em duas ocasiões: o empate com a Ponte Preta no Allianz Parque e a derrota para o Botafogo-PB, nessa quarta-feira.

Neste intervalo, são seis vitórias e três empates. A calça vinho substituiu a calça verde que Cuca vinha usando até a derrota para o Atlético-MG, ainda no primeiro turno. Na Paraíba, o técnico estava de jeans e não usou nem o seu relógio verde, comprado após acertar, em março.

– É verdade! Está vendo? Depois vocês falam que não ajuda! Foi bom você ver. Depois eu volto com a (calça) vermelhinha, o relógio verde e vocês vão ver uma coisa (risos) – disse.

Desde que chegou, o treinador tem tratado com bom humor as perguntas sobre suas superstições. Na Libertadores que venceu pelo Atlético-MG, Cuca usava uma camisa com a imagem de Nossa Senhora da Aparecida. Naquele caso, porém, ele diz que não era superstição, mas fé.

– Eu me divirto com isso. Podem falar. Comentam da ré no ônibus, de usar a mesma camisa, do coração de boi no vestiário. Não tem problema. Alguma coisinha tem. Mas não é tudo isso. Quem não tem? É só ganhar um jogo e ver se vou trocar de camisa (risos) – brincou na sua apresentação.

Everton’s King tipped to join Celtic

Carlo Ancelotti must not block Joshua King from joining Celtic in the summer as the striker has proven to be a flop since signing for Everton.

What’s the word?

While speaking with Football Insider, former Leeds striker Noel Whelan has backed King to secure a move to Parkhead once his Everton contract expires.

The 29-year-old moved to Goodison Park on deadline day of the winter transfer market after Everton paid Bournemouth £2m to take over the final six months of his £45,000-per-week deal.

The Norway international had expressed that his intentions would be to earn a longer-term deal, as his mid-season arrival featured clauses which could return a new contract, but he is expected to be released at the end of the campaign.

Whelan believes that Celtic may emerge as a potential destination for King in the summer, with the Hoops in advanced talks with his former Cherries boss Eddie Howe over taking up the vacant head coach position in Glasgow.

“You look to Ancelotti, you look to a lot of managers – they bring in their own,” Whelan said. “It’s no different to Jose Mourinho and [Sergio] Reguilon from Real Madrid. He has seen him, seen him work, he knows what he’s getting.

“That’ll be no different for Eddie Howe. We know Josh King’s available. Everton aren’t taking that on. He would be fantastic for the Scottish game and Celtic. Maybe he’ll delve into the market for that one, he knows what’s happening in the summertime.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/the-latest-everton-news-gossip-and-views” title=”The latest Everton news and views!”]

“It wouldn’t surprise me if he delves into the market and takes people that he knows and trusts. That’s what managers generally do, using their own contacts and the relationships they have with players. That would only be a positive for Celtic.”

Should Everton let King leave?

Ancelotti signed King in the winter market this year as he sought to acquire attacking depth following Cenk Tosun returning to Besiktas and Anthony Gordon joining Preston North End in loan deals, yet never seeing the summer free agent proving to be a clinical product.

“I think he’s the right profile that we needed,” the Italian said, via quotes shared by the Liverpool Echo. “The fact that we let Tosun go to Turkey, we let Anthony to have experience, we needed a profile for the position in front. We were looking at him in the summer.

“We didn’t sign him to have more goals. We signed him to have a powerful, fast player – not to score more goals. We signed him to have more options in front, with him we have more options. Of course, we need goals, but we have players who can score goals.”

No matter how Ancelotti framed King’s arrival at the time, the 29-year-old has proven to be a total dud on whom Everton will have wasted £2.9m by the time his contract expires.

He will have been at Goodison Park for 21 weeks when his £45,000-a-week deal expires on June 30, costing club owner Farhad Moshiri £945,000 in wages – on top of the £2m paid to Bournemouth – on a player who is yet to start or provide any goal involvement in royal blue.

The versatile 54-cap forward has made each of his eight Everton appearances to date from the bench, with an average time on the pitch of just 15 minutes thanks to three cameo showings of six or fewer minutes and only one exceeding the half-hour mark.

He was even overlooked for a central role while Dominic Calvert-Lewin was sidelined with a hamstring injury against Fulham and Manchester City, with King instead brought on for Alex Iwobi against the Cottagers and Tom Davies against the Citizens to fill in on the right wing.

If Howe has any interest in being reunited with King at Celtic, Ancelotti cannot stand in the attacker’s way and must instead search the transfer market for a replacement.

AND in other news, Everton face a £17m price tag to land a 26-y/o leader once considered to be “one of the strongest”

فيديو | في مباراة البطاقات الحمراء.. الإكوادور تعزز حظوظها في التأهل لكأس العالم 2022 بتعادل مثير مع البرازيل

عزز منتخب الإكوادور حظوظه في التأهل إلى نهائيات كأس العالم 2022، بتعادل مثير مع البرازيل، بتصفيات قارة أمريكا الجنوبية المؤهلة إلى مونديال قطر.

وأقيمت المباراة في الإكوادور على ملعب “رودريجو باز ديلجادو”، ضمن لقاءات الجولة الخامسة عشر من تصفيات كأس العالم 2022. شاهد اهداف مباراة البرازيل والاكوادور

وشهدت المباراة في أول نصف ساعة، إشهار الحكم 3 بطاقات حمراء للاعبي الفريقين، بعد هدف كاسيميرو الذي جاء مُبكرًا في الدقيقة الخامسة.

البطاقة الأولى أشهرت في وجه الأكوادوري أليكسندر دومينجيز، بعد مرور ربع ساعة، قبل أن يحصل البرازيلي إيمرسون رويال على بطاقة صفراء ثانية، مما أدى لطرده.

وفي الدقيقة 31، ارتكب الحارس البرازيلي أليسون بيكر، مخالفة بعدما كاد يصيب لاعب الإكوادور في وجهه بتدخل عنيف، ليمنحه الحكم بطاقة حمراء، تراجع عنها بعد مراجعة الفار، مكتفيًا بالإنذار.

وفي السياق ذاته ذكرت شبكة “أوبتا” أنه لأول مرة يتعرض لاعبين للطرد في مباراة بتصفيات أمريكا الجنوبية المؤهلة للمونديال منذ يونيو 2013، عندما حدث ذلك في مباراة الأرجنتين وكولومبيا وشهدت رد هيجواين وزاباتا.

وفي الشوط الثاني من اللقاء احتسب الحكم ركلة جزا لـ بيرفيس لاعب الإكوادور، ولكن قام بإلغائها بعد العودة إلى تقنية الفيديو (VAR).

وقبل نهاية المباراة بربع ساعة جاء هدف التعادل لأصحاب الأرض، في الدقيقة 75 عبر فيليكس توريس بأسيست من جونزالو بالاتا.

وقبل نهاية اللقاء بدقائق معدودة قرر الحكم احتساب ركلة جزاء لأصحاب الأرض، ولكن عاد إلى تقنية الفيديو، وتراجع عن قراره، لينتهي اللقاء بالتعادل الإيجابي بهدفٍ لمثله.

الإكوادور بذلك رصيدها أصبح 24 نقطة في المركز الثالث بتصفيات أمريكا الجنوبية المؤهلة لكأس العالم، بينما أصبح رصيد البرازيل والتي تأهلت بالفعل 36 نقطة.

Diretor do São Paulo manda recado para Calleri: 'Que tal conversarmos?'

MatériaMais Notícias

Um comentário de Marco Aurélio Cunha na página do atacante Jonathan Calleri animou os são-paulinos que desejam o retorno do argentino ao São Paulo. Nesta quarta-feira, viralizou nas redes sociais a postagem sugestiva do diretor-executivo no perfil de Calleri no Instagram.

“Que tal conversarmos?”, comentou MAC, em uma foto do argentino com a namorada há três dias.

A situação surge no mesmo dia em que o LANCE! publicou que Jonathan Calleri tem acompanhado os jogos do São Paulo, e que sonha com uma volta ao clube no futuro. No último sábado, Calleri viu pela internet o empate do Tricolor com o Flamengo por 0 a 0. Ele já tinha visto a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Juventude na Copa do Brasil, resultado que não impediu a eliminação. Em ambos os casos, lamentou o resultado com familiares.

Calleri deixou o São Paulo após a disputa da Libertadores, da qual foi artilheiro com nove gols, recorde do clube em uma edição. Ainda é o maior goleador do ano, com 16 tentos em 31 partidas. Aos 23 anos, assinou com o West Ham (ING), mas nem sequer foi relacionado no último sábado, quando o time empatou por 1 a 1 com o Middlesbrough.

Aston Villa: Fans fume at Gerrard links

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has been linked with a move to Aston Villa and, as to be expected, it has caused quite the stir on social media.

According to an exclusive report from Football Insider, Villa chief executive Christian Purslow holds a “strong interest” in hiring Gerrard ahead of the summer.

The pair know each other well from their time at Liverpool, with the report claiming that Dean Smith’s position as Villa manager is uncertain in the long-term despite a solid season.

Villa sit ninth in the table with nine games remaining, racking up 47 points so far.

Gerrard is under contract at Ibrox until 2024 and it remains to be seen what his views are on a possible move to Villa Park.

Villa fans react

Football Insider shared the story on their Twitter page on Thursday morning. It didn’t take long for numerous Villa fans to have their say on the story, with one describing it as ‘stupid’.
