endas. Welcome to Traffie TV, it's the premier league show. You haven't done it for a while. For obvious reasons. But we're back, we're gonna be back doing it again. One of the obvious reasons... Just wasn't happy. One thought of that. Everton continually sliding down a butt now. We will, we're gonna beat, big break. Look at every minute. Big break boys. Big break boys. Let's begin at the top end ish off the table so we don't have the focus The break for the top four is quite interesting at the moment. There are a number of things in the league. The break for the league is Man City Liverpool flying Chelsea in the middle which is better than the rest. There is also the top four which has got quite a few teams at United Arsenal West on Trotnam all involved in that. ac mae'n gyflawnio chi'n gwleidio.

I'n trokin' o bob dat, a'n trokin' barat a Arsenal ac i'n amwtch cwedd o deisio. So let's have a look what they said. When you look at the Arsenal team and you look at those teams around, Manchester United should not be doing what we're doing at the moment. It's a disgrace where we are considering the players that we have in our squad. Spurs with the manager that they have and the gold scorers that they have, you'd expect them to not be losing four out of their last five games. And then when you look at Arsenal, our tet has been questioned for a lot, finished eighth twice. You know, you look around their team, they haven't got a massive squad. They've let go, they're captain and their biggest goal scorer. And somehow they're doing it, even when Jack is still in midfield. So yes, I think Arsenal deserve credit and our tet deserves credit, been massively helped by one game a week and other teams around and tossing it in. So I think you're right. Yes, what they're chatting about, obviously. All of the teams, but Arsenal, you want to see more in that video, by the way, or the whole video, the link is in the description, go over what's it, the last fan standing on Bethfitters YouTube channel. Arsenal, we will come on to, they didn't play, obviously they should have been playing Liverpool at the weekend, but because of the Carabao Cup, they didn't play them. But. You know, let's talk about Arsenal before we go back to the pitch. Our tet, your confidence, these buildings, they're all shut in there, they're obviously swapped, you know, Patrick Abam, he hangs the latest one, to go out the door, he seems to be doing that flip of getting rid of those kind of players. They're having a good season, they're all being amazing, they're having like a solid, you know, winning, a lot of games, beating teams, they should be beating. And I've got themselves right into the mix. And I've got games in hand, of course, as well. You know, they are, Arsenal are two points behind United, they occupy four, but they've got three games in hand. So, they're doing, they're in. But the funny thing is, if you look at the table, if Arsenal win their game in hand, I know it's against Liverpool, but the two points behind Chelsea, never mind Manchester United, you know, Chelsea with 50 points at the moment, and they've got games in hand on all those other teams. But Arsenal were a game in hand on them. So, to only be two points behind Chelsea, I think that shows you how far they've come this season. I think out of all those teams that we're trying to get in the top four, for me Arsenal are very much the ones who are building something. I look at the other teams and I feel like they are still scratching around for something or other. Or just, you know, you look at the West Ham's and the Tottenham's of the world, and both sort of, not in there by accident, but I'd have, to any West Ham, I'd have a really good season, punching above the weight, obviously. And Tottenham, again, it just feels like it, you know, they're relying on maybe a couple of players rather than the whole team. With Arsenal, I feel like Arsenal are actually building towards something and understanding the path they're on, and they've got with the players, and they're bringing very young players in. So, I think, you know, Arsenal will be looking at it, thinking their aim may not have been top four this season, but certainly now I just think you look at them and think they're definitely better than other teams in terms of the direction that they're heading in. I don't know whether that'll get them top four, but certainly, certainly, you've got a factor all that in, I think. You've got a tough run in as well, Arsenal play a lot of the teams up directly in the show. You see that, but they have got the games in hand, and they could, like you just said, you know, win the game in hand, and you had three points behind Chelsea, but they could put themselves in a good position, certainly on West Ham United by winning those games. The spares are a weird one, like I said, just before, you know, Conti's gone in there, and I don't know whether he seems to be frustrated with what's there, players not responding. Do you not think, though, what he's frustrated at was, he's just had a window, and he probably didn't get the players that he visualised he was going to get, or who he asked for? Are you surprised, though, because I'm not with spares? No, but that thing, that thing. There's more in your moment of the same thing. For all we know, though, he will have been promised things, and if he doesn't... Like he said himself, when they got beat up there in the last week, he said, essentially, he said, managers have failed here, and they've left, but it's still the same set of players, and we say the same thing about it. It is ultimately, isn't it? It is ultimately the same set of players, and what he's saying there is, I need new players. Now, he did get a couple, obviously, he did get a couple, but he probably thinks when he looks at that table, if you'd give me the tools I wanted, I could have easily have got your fourth place this season. I think that's where maybe the frustration comes from. I don't know whether that's right. I've got a couple of games in hand in Manchester United, and if they were to win those games in hand, they would be above them, but obviously they've got to win those games in hand. So, obviously, they're in a rebuild, in the midst of a rebuild, or are trying to start a rebuild, and, as I said, I don't think that's quite where Arsenal are, because Arsenal has gone past that stage, I think, and are gaining momentum with now with a set of players. They're obviously still a centre forward light, but it's certainly interesting. It's certainly interesting. Well, Spears won four-nil at Leeds, though it's a cooler Zebski coming, of course, in January, with the Bentecau, Harry Kane and Sean making it a four-nil victory. It's a good way to bounce back from the Bernley defeat. Did I remember when I got knocked out by a free cup? There you go. Leeds, that four-nil defeat cost Martial O Bielshae his job. They've just been far too open, haven't they? Leeds, goals, four-nil, six against Liverpool, four against United, three at Everton, three at Biller. He can't let that amount of goals in and expect to survive, can you, there, as a manager. Now, ultimately, I think they've been done by... I wouldn't want to call it tactical naivety, because he's a very experienced manager, but I think what he's done is he's tried to... He only knows one way to play. He's lost a lot of plays through injuries. His most important plays are sent. Calvin Phillips is a huge important player. You could imagine people will come calling for him in the summer. He's lost Patrick Bamford. He scored a lot of goals last season for him. There were other injuries during the season, but those two have been out for a lot of the time. If you're out your best players and you're still trying to play the same way, and the drop-off is what I don't have seen this season, the drop-off is huge. And they're just, man, it's open, you look at the goal difference. It's ridiculous. 31 is not a goal difference. That's an extra point, isn't it? That's an extra point if it comes down to goal difference. You're not clawing that back, are you? 12 games to go, you're on clawing that back. Obviously Jesse Marsh is going in there, and he's obviously new to the Premier League. We had a couple of seasons at Leipzig, gone through the Red Bull system. It'll be interesting to see how he faces, whether he tries to just shut up, shop or face. Do you think they're good enough to do that? I really don't know, because I've only ever seen them play one style under Bielsa. It's hard, because it takes time on the training pitch to do that. And they are very much in it, let's be honest, they're very much in the mix. So he's going to have to get an interesting thing. Obviously if he gets those players back, and he looks at a couple of other plays and thinks how can I maybe change things with you, then they go to Leicester. After a weekend Leicester had just had a great minute. Burnley, they're on 30 points now. I think they'd be safe. I think they beat Leicester shorted last year. So I think they go far, they back now, he scored against Burnley in the week show. But a tough one for Leicester, to try to get that result at the weekend, and a tough opening game for you as your manager. Friday night, Sheldamtson, they were on a fantastic run, at the moment particularly at home, they beat Norwich 2-0 standard victory for Sheldamtson, really, Chay Adams with a goal. In the first half of the year, putting it beyond doubt in the second half. Sheldamtson, 27 attempts at goal to Norwich 8. But they're on a great run, Andy, when he lost one home game all season. Very, very organised team. Very, very organised. Sitting 90. I don't see them finishing any higher than that. No. But that would be a really good finish for them. Considering when they lost to Danny Ings at the beginning of the season, a lot of people thought, and best of God, a lot of people thought that was going to be it. But they turned it around brilliantly, brought some good signings in. Loan and young plays, and they're very well organised football team. And it'll be interesting to see how long they actually keep all the day manager. Because I do think a few people will look at him and think that he could... Give him some resources. I think he's a very organised, pragmatic manager who gets the best out of players. So it'll be interesting to see how long he's at home. Therefore, Norwich, obviously. Bottom of the league. Minus 40 goal difference. Yeah, I think maybe now Norwich... Listen, I don't know for sure, it's a strange season, you almost feel like Norwich have had their little run. And it'll be interesting to see how many wins they get. Obviously you've got the new manager bounce, had a few wins recently, but... They've got a huge game at the weekend. They're at home to Brentford. Who were in the mix. To be fair, yeah. I mean, they win that. If they won that, they give themselves. I'm not saying they're not casted if by any means. Never have been this season, that's been the thing. They've never been. Because there's so many... You go up to 14, then you're cast on 25 points. For this stage of the season, that's still very, very old. Well, that's it. Well, talking to Newcastle, I went to Brentford and won 2-0. Brentford had a man's centre off after the silver, after 11 minutes. First, when I was seeing the challenge, I thought it was a foul on him. And when you see it again, it's a nasty one. Just jumps and leaves his leg straight on the lad's leg. And he's really shocked and challenged. A definite red car for Brentford. And then Joel didn't pop up with it, had it and go with it. And Willie put it beyond my lovely finish as well. And they've just continued that. They're on a great one out there on Newcastle. Confidence is there. They've got a little steely resilience about them at the moment. It's enabled them to just grind out results and a really good result for them there. Like you said, lifted them up to 14th. The entertain Brighton at home at the weekend. They're fancy, though. They're still fancy. Brighton will fancy it as well, because they find them playing away better than playing at home at the moment. It'll be an interesting moment. They've done really well in Newcastle. Brentford, the one where you would look. If we weren't in the midst of it and panicking, and you were looking at it, you'd look at Brentford and go, I think they're in real trouble, because they're syncing with Arastona. They had a losing game, home games, Tony's not scoring goals. And all the fantastic bit of this game was obviously Christian Edwards making his return. It was brilliant and great to see. You just wonder if they're going to have that thing of enough goals in them. You look at them and think where they are in the league. They just seem to be losing game after game now. Minus 17, so they're not. They seem like leads with minus 31, and Wofford minus 22, not as minus 40. So they're not conceding tons and tons and tons of goals. They're not scoring goals, are they? They're not scoring goals, are they? I'm sure they had something like 19 points or 20 points. In the first part of the season, you were thinking, we are like this. They're certainly struggling. The teams around them have got games in hand as well. So you've got to win those games in hand. I mean, I haven't, I've got three games in hand on them. That's three points behind them. Things like that, that might be their undoing. Palace and Burnley threw one-one. Burnley and other team have got some results of late. They followed up the win against Spares with a good point. A Palace went behind. Definitely slop got an own goal from Milhoavitch. Got them a decent point. They've played since then, unless they've beat them at home. 3-0, which is kind of put the brakes on them. But they've done, considering they've won one game in the first part, and they look dead and buried. They've had that done that badly thing again. Having them just grinding results out again. They're now up to 21 points and 25 games. You know, they're a win-off. They've got two games in hand on Brentford. Gaming hand on Leeds. You know, they're only four points behind Newcastle. So they, and I think they play each other at the end of the season as well. So they might be, you know, you don't know what that is. Gaming hand on Leeds, they win that, they're above Leeds. So that's what these teams have to look at, isn't it? From now is, you know, we might be, look all depression right now, but if you can just claw people in, they do have Chelsea at home in the next game, another home game they're playing on, which is a really, obviously a really tough game. Probably one of the toughest home games you can have, isn't it, really? But Crystal Palace, nil dder an, they, you know, they were in, I don't say they were in trouble, but they were getting clawed back into it, and they went to Wofford on 1-4 one last midweek, and they added a point, like I said, to be with Burnley at the weekend. I've got themselves, I think, into a position now where every, where in every third game, there's something like that, the fine I did there on, what, 30 points as well from 27 games. Mang United nil, Wofford nil, United absolutely battered Wofford in this one, but... Great point for Wofford. Brilliant point, you know, United 22 attempt to go Wofford 10, 67 percent, two on target for Wofford three for United. Um... They dropped some points, Mang United, though talking about that software, they've had opportunities at home, trial fans, they've had trial fans in the home, Wofford at home, and their fans would have been going six points there, and they've struck two from it. And that's kind of being the thing, that's undone them at times this season, isn't it? Yeah, they're, they're a, they're a very, they're not a very good team. They're a team of individuals, and obviously... Got lots of great individuals, but... But they just don't click together. They've lost. When Aldo looks, he's been playing up front, and there's no, they're not playing on the counter attack, there's a lot of crosses coming into the box. It's... It seems, um... It seems a bit of a mess there at the moment. You know, he did get the win last week. No, no, I just, I just look at them over all, and it's crazy because they are in fourth place, but I suppose they demonstrate how open that all is. You know, they've got 47 points on 27 games. They're only, they are only three points behind Chelsea, but at the same time, they're just, they're a very strange team, because you never, ever look at them and go, they were brilliant in this game, or brilliant in that game. They just about get by, you know, and they've got to go play, but they're not a good team. And there's no real through line, there's no through line, there's no real, you wouldn't say, oh, they play this way, or they play that way. They've just got good players, really good players. Do you think there are any things in the health on them? Not that. It's anything to do with Ralph Rangier, because I think he's sad, but... I just think... Yeah, because there are Fred saying, interim managers weird and stuff. Because there are a bunch of there are a bunch of egos, and a bunch of, like, they want to be in charge, you know, Ronaldo wants to be in charge, you know, Pogba these people. They need a good old school sort of patient in charge, and we just, you know, put them in the place. And I imagine having a guy who's not who's only, like, the content manager, you won't be here in a few months, my thigh will, you won't. That's not the way to do things. I don't think... What about Wafford at the other end 19 points? No, it's a good point. It's an interest, you know, it's an interest because they went to Vilec, and they got three points. They got four points out of Vilec, Crystal Palace and Manchester United. And that, you know, if you'd said to them before and they'd get that, they probably would have bit your hand off for it. So away from home, they're obviously getting them behind the ball and trying to play on the counter. It's that different at home, of course. But with obviously with the new manager, they've got because because there are still seven teams, I'd say, any, then they've still they're not out of it because you're talking one win could have been a huge difference at one win. So they're not out of it, and obviously they've got something in by Hodgson who's got the experience of getting out of it. Absolutely. But now a really good point for them. Brighton, they'll feel it, they'll ever start to be a little bit worried on 27 points before this one. We're not having great form, but I've gone to Brighton and won a 2-0, two good goals actually, Matty Cash with the first one, Ollie Watkins with the well taken. Second, which has got them 30 points now so for them, they'll breathe a little bit easier and they're now only three points behind Brighton who are having a great start of the season and having been started losing lately. He's only won seven games all season, filler of one nine. Everton who had a terrible season and Brentford have both won six so Brighton have won a game more than them so weird isn't it? Brighton are weird aren't they? In this game, 67% of the board, 12 shots of filler's nine. They've not got a striker, as simple as that. They've not got a striker who can score goals and that's what it comes down to. They don't score goals, enough goals anyway. But they could still win a couple of games and it'll be the highest ever finish so. The highest finish under Pottershire and they obviously at the top of the table man city when they've got a 4-tubers win at Gouldershire to put them six points at the Liverpool gaming on to keep that title race burning. On Sunday, another team who was in the midst of it is for the top fours West Ham and they beat Wolves who've been on a great big win that. Wolves I think are still in the race of the top four but when you look at it they're on the same spares they're in the race for it then Wolves are on the two points. They're still very much in the race for top four or Europe so this was a big win for West Ham it's on the shooter who hasn't obviously hit the highs he did last season scored the goal but a typical moist kind of win you know Wolves that's 61% of the bottom and 14 shots of West Ham's 13 four on target for the hammers one for Wolves and that tells the story Hwang the team missed the great chance at Nillnow should have scored should have hit the target at least. But West Ham are still very much in the you know they're in the I think it's the top eight is the teams who are going to get Europe so you know depending where the FA Cup goes of course you could go down to seven but I do think it's I do think it's that you know the top two top three will be the top three I imagine but it will become down to you know Wolves will be in there one of them will miss out it's still very interesting who that team will be Wolves won't be writing themselves off but for West Ham this is a huge win you know what they've got 11 games left and I'm 45 points well it's gone to sixth now isn't it it's well it is sixth right now but obviously it could seven could be the conference could be the conference so I think it will be you know one of the top eight as it stands will be on look here Southampton are five points behind Wolves I don't see them making that ground up and no one behind them I think will make that ground up so it's going to be one of them so that's why this was such an important win for West Ham we've been second half the season have spluttered a little bit Antonio stops going on the goals they've had to dig in Jared Bowens filled the gap a little bit but it's typical moist it's moisty it's moisty it's interesting that Wolves haven't stopped very interesting that Wolves have everything to play for so there you go let us know what you think in the comments section below who will get off for who will get that place and who's going down let us know and don't forget to check out that Beth Victor video with the lads on it a full 20 minute video so some good discussions on it link is in the description so make sure you check that out give the video a thumbs up subscribe if you haven't and if you want more videos including daily live videos join us on pace and the link is also in the description see you later
