 Y244, it is the last segment now, Nikipindicyalala Salama. Nikipindicyalala Salama, we are going to talk about matches that bring you happy moments and emotional moments too. But, take care of that a lot because it's very, very key. Very good afternoon, a very, a day where, as an offender, really confident, I don't know what is making them confident in everything that is happening today, but let's understand why they are confident. Joining me here in studio, for the fan zone, for the first time this year, I think, is Joe Saino, right? Yes, yes, first time this year. First time this year. Ah, big one for you. And then I've got some guitar also, first time this year that you are doing the touchlet. What has been your highlight of the week? Well, us, well, that is the weekend of the matches, sportsman, you have to, you have to understand something. The team that was put out, was not supposed to be defeated by Shotfield United. It was supposed to win, to win. They let down the manager, okay? The team that was put out again is Liverpool, by Tottenham. They were not ready to win that game. They were not ready to get to that point. The formation system of Tottenham, that's why they lost. Okay, and we're going to touch on it much later. Ask them, my brother, have you seen how they're walking around? They ask no fun. You can see they're holding the leg man. I'm glad they have done a survey and they have been like... I've seen almost like 20 fans out there with a ton of jerseys, but I understand them. It's been a weird season and they are now on a very good run. Six games in a row, they haven't lost. It's going to be tough for them, we're going to get ready. And then you have this to like, to blue people walking around, with this jersey of Manchester City. People are not even around for the last two, three months all of a sudden. A month, 60 months, a month, 60 a month to win the title, which is a lie. Let me tell you something. After this weekend, they're only top for two days. Let them enjoy this last, the last how many hours? Maybe two to three hours. Two to three hours. We're getting back there. Big game, we'll be talking about that game. Just a sneak peek of what we're going to talk about. It's our main game here tonight. We can just go ahead and finish with that game. How do you see Manchester United lining up tonight? Well, definitely, what we need to understand is Arsenal are going to beef up their defence. Yes. Because Arsenal, to them picking up a point again in this game would be quite important. You know, 31 points right now isn't that bad for them, but they can do much better. So I'm looking at, first of all, Cavani has to start. He has to start. What, what, Martial, what, no, Cavani has to start. We need to give the ball to him. He can hold up play, he can still do the conversions. Okay, he can bring in the likes of Fernandez, the likes of Pogba, but we need Cavani to start. That's one too. This, that makeshift partnership of Maguire and Transverde has to stop. Okay? Baili has to start today, or Lindelow has to start. De Gea has to be at his top game. That mistake that led to that first goal, we cannot forget some few things. Okay, so, because he's going to start today, they're not going to start hand us on. So he needs to be top of his game, because Arsenal are coming in, we're going to, we're going to Emirates, they're going to make sure first of all, they shut up shop, then they embarrass United. Because if they win today, they go up to fifth position, 33. And then, during the week after Manchester United lost to Sheffield United, Antonio Martial was subjected to some rations in that. They said, there's a kid that goes to Manchester United, the title. Do you believe that? Wow. After that, he lost to Sheffield. No, that's a heavy statement when you say that there's goes to Manchester United, a title. First of all, at the beginning of the season, no one would have said that Manchester United are going to win the title. And I don't know where this conversation has come from, and I guess it's not about Manchester United fans. It has to be Reivo fans who have been getting on that joy of Manchester United winning, that England's narrowed something. But for Antonio Martial, yes, I understand he's on a downward spiral at this moment. He's not really a number nine, and I guess that's why we're seeing such bad form on his side. He works best when he's playing on the left side. And I guess that's the situation with him right now, that he just didn't get at the end of the ball most of the time. And his body language at times looks as if he's not really happy in that position. I understand the frustration from the fans, that's why we maybe expect a very gutsy call from Ole Gunas Walsh at tonight. And then the big one is Arsenal just signed Martin Odukar from Real Sociedad is coming in as a midfielder. For them, they are lined up today. Can you predict? Well, if they're going to include him, if he's going to start, which I think it's a doubt, he will be their national number 10. He will be coming off of those right balls that they like so, Aubameyang need, likes of Saka, Pepe being on the left again, he performed very well in midweek. I don't see Arsenal changing so much of that starting lineup. It worked really well, especially Saka, the ball that he was getting, Ballerin hitting that right side. He looked at Pepe, you know, rejuvenation again, from obviously having a very bad season. I don't think they'll change so much today. I think I would stick with the same squad, if I was Mika Lateta. Well, maybe for me, I guess the only place maybe that he could think around maybe is on the left-back position. Keir and Tini didn't start in the last match. Cedric has been used on that side and he's a right footer, so maybe I would expect a change. But the ballerin is going to start, I don't know, because Cedric has been playing on both sides for Martin Odukar. I don't think he's going to start, but in any case, he'll be drawn into the deep and it might be a guy like Emile Smith who is going to suffer there. In that midfield. So, he's just going to be a cracker tonight. What do you expect from the game? I expect a really tough game here. And for Manchester United, they know their job, because I mean losing to Sheffield in United in itself was a big disaster. A big disaster. They need to recover. Yeah, they need, we believe it was a blip on the road and they're going to get back to normal business. Knowing that Manchester United still hasn't beaten Mika Lateta, I guess it's going to... It's just one match. I know it is, but you look at the... You look at the top six managers, only one box is left to Tick and that's Mika Lateta. I can't even believe you're saying Arsenal are top six. Top six teams. The third red and right, two, three, four, we're hanging out with Joe Sainer and Sabi Gittai here. And then we are done with Manchester United. Arsenal is going to be a big game and everything is going to happen there. There's the major one that also happened during the week. Tottenham losing to Liverpool. And you had even the rumours that Sergio Rea had a very dressing room bus up with some of the players. Tell me, first off, what happened was quite simple. Yeah, Liverpool played against Tottenham's weakness. If you think about it, Tottenham had set up a five-man defence. We've even marked that you're going to the far left also. So if you're going to bomb the two wing-backs forward and remain with the three behind, and yet there's not enough cover for the likes of Firmino when he does the creation, okay? There will always be a problem there because you're going to do a three-on-three and you expect to play on the counter-attack against Liverpool. Remember, they have very passive wing-backs. They will still go back. The thing there will be was Tottenham being a fluke in the early stages of the season. Because everyone... No, no, no, no, no. Tottenham is a very cover-up. Tottenham is a solid team. I believe it's a solid team. I don't think they were fluke for the first season. The thing is it just didn't work for them on 1,000... 1,000 nights, yes. No. That was Friday. 1,000 nights. It didn't work for them. Sergio Rea had atro-mastros first half. And hence his substitution and the buster. If you look up-forward, you don't tell me someone can't play with any other strike in the world. It has to be Harry Kane. It has to be Harry Kane. You see now, that's who's in there. So now if you look and you need another number nine. Yes. Ben will play number nine. Yes. Ivan, José Mourinho, now go into the free market and get Diego Costa. Yes. Come fill in those boots. Yes. Because you need an out-and-out number nine. So he's not a number nine. You see, and you need someone who's going to roll up the game and distribute to all these first players, even the likes of Lucas Moura. Yeah. And now Tottenham sustain themselves because reports were from that game that Harry Kane is injured, both legs. And they might be off for a very lengthy season. Will they manage? It's going to be tough. But the issue that strikes me hard is looking at Harry Kane. Every time this year, he seems to be picking these injuries. And I mean, I know I've been talking about him. He loves American football. And he now feels like the Super Bowl is near. And you're going to see him maybe in Tampa. Yeah. Going to be seeing the Super Bowl. We haven't seen him every time he has a Super Bowl and don't play this plane. Yes. Either way, I guess there's an issue with his uncles and that's something that should be looked at, too. Yeah. But for Spass, I think, with a backup who can play in there, they still got Carlos Vinicius in that team. Yes. We've seen him score some goals in the FA Cup against Mourinho. And against Mourinho. But... Especially that disgraceous first goal. Yeah. He was blasting the net for who now? Yeah. I guess it's going to be tough for them because you look at that combination between Son and Kane. It's been working for them. Maybe over 70% of the goals have come from them. It's going to be a big call from Jose Mourinho. But still taking on that game between themselves and Liverpool. Yeah. I don't know why many people are bashing the players, but I guess we should even be questioning Jose Mourinho and Mourinho and Mourinho. And it was really sad for me to listen to him post-game, saying that the players caused them the game while they self-made some very bad decisions. Yeah, that's a shame. And again, maybe... Could it be time to question Hugo Louriz as a goalkeeper? OK, for a long time, the placement for Hugo Louriz. Yeah. That's going to be tricky. I wanted to put you on the deep end for a team that you hate. We don't think they need a centre-back. Who? Liverpool. Because... I hate to be weird about that. I just disliked my affiliation with Manchester, but yes, they do need a centre-back. They always do this makeshift partnership. And they don't seem to work, not always. Again, I start on them... Maybe it did work, because start on them or not, at their top game. But if they meet a Manchester City, a Manchester City, if they meet a Western that is so far away, a Western that is so near the back and just needs one goal and then defends the home time, they need a strong centre-back. I'm not saying that clubs should go for an £80m centre-back right now. There's no money, obviously, with what has been happening, Covid and all, transfer budgets are a bit low. But if you can get a seasoned defender, who has been in the Premier League, whether it's someone who can come and directly impact the game, nothing will be very important, but I'm not saying they're doing another £80m defender, not not. If I was him, again, I would go to Manchester City and take Sehonsu. Why not? Actually, when you look at what's happening on the table, it's actually saying that it could be... Mustafa, you will be headed to Liverpool. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, Walter Pwina. Yes. Walter Pwina from the bench. Okay. Let's also go with Manchester City, back on top of the table, one game in hand, and they are playing good football. Do you see them going all the way with this title, when it's half way through the season? I guess, yes, yes. 90% of the football fans are expecting Manchester City to win this. I'm the 10%. Walter Pwina from the bench. Yeah, I understand. When you look at their form in the last six games or so, they have won all, and you look at their defensive record, I guess they have considered the least number of goals in the frame with that team, and that partnership between John Stones and Ruben Diaz is looking good. And a man like Gundogan in the middle, they don't look as if they are missing Kevin De Bruyne, they are also playing as if they are not playing with the number nine in there, because Gabriel Jesus has not been playing much, and they still got Raheem Staling in that team. They look like a real team that could win the championship. It's a big one for them. What do you say, Joe, when you look at the way Manchester City is playing at the moment? I mean, I would be dismissive to say that they are not playing good. They are. I would be dismissive to say that they are not going to give a rightful challenge to the Premier League. I would be, but I have to agree that not only the strength in the team, but the camaraderie that they have in terms of the formation in terms of the setup, in terms of the discipline, if you look at the last two games that the good one has played, if you look at his position, if you look at the map where he is affected, the midfield, he is again, we can still go forward. He can play in the middle very well. He can come and offer defensive assistance to the likes of defenders. But, more importantly, it's the instillment from Pep to this player that you guys are great. If Liverpool had a blip last season, you guys need to take back what's rightfully yours. That's not something that players need. Moreover, I'm not saying that the good one is not doing it, but Pep has more experience in getting players into that game of mentality. Well, today, again, if you look at the fixtures, they're going to start with Sheffield United. That's the thing. They will win against Sheffield United. I can guarantee you that. They will have a good number of goals. They will. The same team that was a difficult proposition for Manchester United is the same team that is going to lose to Manchester City. So, what are we looking at? We're looking at now picking up points. You need to wait for one person to slip up points. Because if you look behind you, there's Leicester. There's Liverpool coming back. There is West Ham doing something Thank you. Ask the best team in London. It has been played. It is West Ham. Cristopal is almost coming second. The time train on Y244 with the Geosigner and Sadmi Gittai. And we're still talking about football here on the fun zone. Let's talk about two or three transfers that have been happening during this month. This is a month of transfers and Jesse Lingard is now leaving to West Ham on loan. I expected that really because he's not been involved in many matches. I guess he's not played one. This season for Manchester United and I was looking at the Western situation when they were talking about him leaving to the Hammers. There was two loan deals in that team with Dawson which just came in and Sadmi and Ramah. They had to complete one as a common move and they went for Sadmi and Ramah for a completed deal of around 15 million and then Jesse Lingard now is at West Ham. I really don't know because they have many men in their who started ahead of him. Played I think very well under David Moyes and Louis Van Gaal. Will you miss him as a Manchester United fan? As a fan, yes. But in performance I don't think he was needed. He was supposed to have requirements. But what he offered West Ham is that next level pace. We're talking about pace in the team. West Ham generally have not been known as a very first team. They have Antonio Valenci, Mikhail Antonio who is one of the first players in the Premier League. If you look at other players nothing in here are first players but what Lingard can offer is that bursting pace. Especially from the middle, first balls forward. I can see more contributions to the strikers because you've seen West Ham have been scoring most of their goals using. We look at the West Ham team in their midfield and attacking going forward. They've got the likes of Gerald Boyne, they've got Pablo Forna also looking at the money this time and also you've got a guy like Saïd Ben Ramal supporting Mikhail Antonio up front. Do you see Jesse Lingard really getting to that team? I see him getting to that team and the coach decides to change the system from an out position back to a counter attacking team. Is there any way with the two defensive midfielders like Declan Rice in that team do you see any means that David Moise is going to disrupt that in the middle? The only way we can disrupt it, to be honest is if we change this information from the narrative 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 that's the only way Lingard can play. So in the middle for example you've got Thomas which has been a huge signing for them and you've got Declan Rice who is the other one or who are you dropping for Jesse Lingard? Well I would put Jesse Lingard to play with those two that you've just said why this is important is because of what Declan Rice and other guy can do in terms of covering but you have a gap and this is 4-3-3, you have a gap between the midfielders and the strikers who is going to cover that midfield and at the same time have the pace even to join that attack to make a 4-man attack. You have to look at it from that point of account attack. I'm not saying he's going to fit immediately to that score now unless the manager changes that's where I see it. And the way you have seen Western coming up on top very well that is the transfers now my time is not good now and I don't want to leave this conversation without talking about Frank Lampard. Yeah. What went wrong for you? In your opinion first because we have like 5 opinions but I don't know At the beginning for me on Monday morning it was a huge surprise for me to realize that he's been gone and I expected maybe they would have given him the trust when Viola came after that and said there is nothing called a process in game of football it's all about results and looking at the signings they made in the beginning of the season 320 million spent on 6 or so players and there's been a certain sector of the journalists who have been saying that maybe only one who is Ben Chiloro's part of the deals that Frank Lampard wanted there or just club signings getting such amount of players and high caliber players into the team while he just done well with some academy players was a personal challenge for him If the results are incoming then we know Chelsea from and from of it. He now joins the list of rich managers who have left the game under the hands of Rob Manablan Just tell us why What do you think went wrong for him? He thought about what went wrong for him It's what's wrong with that board with Chelsea He's the first thing they took Lampard and they couldn't even make a transfer because they were under a burn What did he do? He used whatever you gave him and he got results Maybe he told the board he's a thing I want to do certain transfers Some will be done by the club because you guys are looking at merchandise, sales and all that and then some I really want because they will improve the team To general those players between September, October, November, December, January 5 months without a precision is unfortunate It's impossible They could have judged them next season after a full season to invest for any successful person need to invest So they did the investment They were not patient for the victory Manchester United was patient with Ole Gunnar Solcher when you look at the performance of some of those managers and their performance and their time Frank Lampard comes really down in the pecking order the mail that was written by Chelsea Roman Abramovich following that sacking There was a clear intent that this man had got the fail from the board For them saying that Frank Lampard has left the team as a meat table club without any success or any clear path to success, it was a big statement from the club But I don't know why Joe is speaking on the board while it is worked in previous times when the soccer manager the other manager comes in straight What is the title? Well now, the interim managers We are talking about interim Di Matteo interim The Israeli manager for what is his name? Adam Grant's interim title Di Matteo Champions League interim Look at Solari Was Solari a fool? Was he a fool? He got a full time So what I am saying is it hasn't worked for him I know I am saying this hasn't happened If you look at Liverpool When he got the job Did he finish in the top four the first season? Yes, he didn't Then what did he do the next season He told the manager this is what I want to do this is the players I want to get Can I get them? Then can we work on next season When Moreno returned to Chelsea for the first time It's a two-horse race with a little donkey But next season, where the donkey will become bigger That's the idea You come first and for Moreno but it was really unfortunate because he got a team first of all that he couldn't make any transfers So we had to do what he did at Derby with a small budget and try to get some results He got the results Now he has the budget You can't expect him immediately to just have a name part You need to give him that whole season You can actually see what happened to Manchester United in the span of one year In the span of one year you can look at the way Ole Gunnar's soldier changed From 14th to 13th From 14th to now they are fighting for Let's go ahead and talk about some of the games that will be coming out this afternoon We've got Everton playing home to Newcastle and then Crystal Palace will also be home to Wolves Manchester City will be playing at home to Sheffield United What's the advantage out of Wolves is a game that will be one key game to watch there because now it's a relegation battle between those two During the night Arsenal vs Manchester United then we'll finish off this match with Southampton vs Aston Villa Very little time to go Joe Which game will you keeping your eye on away from the Arsenal vs Manchester United Well Manchester Sheffield United because I just want to see them score the goals To be honest as a fan right now you have to be very objective about it Also the West Brom Fulham game because of now that relegation battle and then I think the late night game is going to be entertaining Two really attacking teams with the likes of Jack Grealish Danny Ains These games want to play for the Euros for England Yes in terms of their performances But Arsenal Arsenal vs Manchester United Arsenal will get a good game but they will not win the game That's all I can say Now there is an early kick of game between Everton and Newcastle That is a game worth sitting down to watch It is and for Steve Bruceman it's going to be tough for him because you look at it he will be sucked I don't think so I don't think Mike Ashley is on that trajectory of sucking him sitting pretty tight at 16 They could remain the Prem and I think that's what matters for Mike Ashley Just remain the Prem It doesn't matter whether you have your phone struggles it doesn't matter whether the fans are on your neck for him maybe we could resign and I've heard many telling him that maybe it's time that he should leave the club now that Raphael Benitez is free of a job but you can't give Raphael the job back Come on Raphael may go to Celtic He has been linked to that job too but it's going to be a good match here to watch especially Pickford after the stink I had in the last match against Leicester City I didn't expect him to start but he has been given the confidence by Carlo Ancelotti so we'll be watching keenly to see what happens It was also entertaining between Christopher Palace and Wolves and Joe It's going to be a very good game How again the Christopher Palace manager has managed to keep this team intact again in London whereby there are so many other so called big giants and they have achieved what they need to achieve where Hudson needs to be given his fair dues As for Nuno Espirito Santos is the Portuguese influence that was done He's it It might be You look at Wolves right now they are really lacking a number 9 striker all humans have been missing Costa is free, they should go for Costa Maybe They are missing also Jota Jota also left the team no matter what you could make a case for him also For Christopher Palace I had some rumours that for Roy Hudson I understand there is going to be a huge rebuild in that team and maybe you can see the likes of Wilfred Zaha being freed up We've already seen some of the players being linked away, the likes of Andrew Stampton and the likes I don't think it's going to be interesting but for sure I expect some very low blocks in this one Wolves might get the win but maybe through one Pedronet One Pedronet and then Joe also made we saw Wolves coming with that bro One other one was West Brom and Fulham it is West Brom, other days lost by 5 nails to Manchester City He needs to recover, he needs the three points Scott Parkour the Fulham he has also shown that he can play some good football I think this is a West Brom win Why? Because obviously yes they lost 5 nails to Manchester City but if you see the previous performances that they are putting to rescue because this is a rescue mission this has nothing to do with trophy ranking this is a rescue mission so Adilis Fulham in table 3 points are very important and that's something they will look of too I'm not saying the team that Scott Parkour is going to put out is going to be bad it's just that I believe West Brom need this game more than Fulham You know I was looking at the statistics for West Brom and I realized they have considered a massive 48 goals this season Halfway through this season That's the worst record you've seen from them and for some other days he has openly talked about the defensive issues and he has brought in a couple of signings I believe he signed by Dian from Galatasaray this week or from Galatasaray and for Fulham I guess they are really performing well and actually when you look at the table I guess Fulham for me is the team that scripts that zone we've got some lovely players we're looking at Ademola Lukman, Ruben Noflas-Tig they are really doing a very good football in there and whenever you see Scott Parkour with Tatum Neck the luck is coming is going to win that a big game that will be coming now let's finish off this one quickly Southampton playing home to Aston Villa at St. Mary's tonight Southampton, Aston Villa is also a key one I think all these teams are looking to finish at the top half of the table and this one also is a cracker I have Aston Villa for win here I think Aston Villa really dented Southampton's sort of push towards getting the three points in the midweek so Aston Villa again have been on this route it's a team, only Godke is not performing as the number nine that we want him to perform to be perfectly honest he's not if you see the chances that he was given if you give some of the color moves on the same chances he would make them count and that again is an opinion and some he is busy trying to he may be streaming with advice but here for me I think Aston Villa will win I don't know what happened to Raphas because this team has won only one game in seven matches they are lacking two defenders of course Kyle Walker Peters and Ryan Petron maybe they will be missing from this game Aston Villa with Jack really they are looking so good it could be a game where you think Aston Villa is going to win but Hollywood Kings is not a good shaker let me present that for another team no I'm not saying it's not a good shaker I'm just saying his conversion if you give the same the same opportunities to color moves on he is going to convert them that's all I'm saying that is all we finish the touch line here on the Y254 it is a big but it has been finally on the fans on where the Josain and the Sub-Mikita thanks guys for coming the touch line it's up till next Saturday and let's say a big thank you to everyone who has managed to make this broadcast a success here today the touch line says goodbye but be ready for rock tour in just just a little bit of time
