Should Carrick Start packing his Bag or its too early?

All right, good morning and welcome back. Now we're going to switch gears. We're going to look at what really trending out there on Matter Sports. We're talking about sports. There's a lot a lot a lot to talk about. Start here starting here at home where we had the Christy 7. Remember there's been a circuit of the seven series starting all the way from Priest to the Dallas to the driftwood cab. Now at Christy finishing up we're going to look at the overall champion. Of course men now cementing themselves as one of the best um for this competition. I've told you they were meant to win this at some point at the the last one they managed to finish off very well. And talking about KCB and Krasom manage they are going to face off at number three position but people are now saying that is the main final not really the final that you had many guyas but away away from that we got to look at the C confederation cup where Alhali faced Taska at home and the coach complained more about the altitude in Nairobi said it's difficult to breathe in Nairobi that's why they went on to lose that match but is that an excuse of really something that is happening but away from that also we're going to see our travel in Gaya all the way to Cairo. We're going to discuss the CF Champions League that took place the second leg of the CI Champions League against um pyramids which took place in K Cairo. Going to look at how it transpired. They're saying Gaya swallowed five goals. But we're just going to look at what really went wrong with the Char team. But apart from that, then we're going to all the way to Europe. Then we're going to look at the Champions League. Then we'll look at the English Premier League and see what's really making noise out there. Is it Manchester United or is it Chelsea this time? So, make sure you stay tuned for all that and many more. My good name is James. On social media, you can find me at James. Remember the hashtag is still in the morning. But today, I'm not alone. I'm joining by one and only Emmanuel Emanuel Pierce sports analyst. I think I've seen him I've seen him on social media doing the type of reporting online reporting. Kiban and good morning John. Mhm. >> Yeah. It's nice being here. >> Mhm. Maybe tell me what's because the our fans don't know this new face. Tell them who is Manu Manu reports. That's how I know you through social media. Maybe what do you normally do? >> Yeah. So I'm a journalist. I'm currently studying journalism, sports journalism. >> Uh I've been covering sports for the last 3 years >> and yeah I have a social media page called manual reports all platforms. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Amazing to have you here. Maybe what's trending on your side? Which team do you support by the way? >> Uh local I support Gmaya in the KPL >> division in the national super league NSL black stars >> and KPL Manchester United. >> Ah not a good weekend for you. Maybe >> not a good weekend >> not a fair one you but before we get to to talk about goa and maybe a little bit of Manchester United maybe let's start here at home. Let's talk about the Christy7 that took place. We have we have been talking about Kabas and KB being the main headliners of this tournament going back to back back to back for the title but now we had a new champions in town and guy Oilers which managed to clim clench the the Christ7 then on the ladies side Ali Queens remember they won it the last time but this time it was different Mumbai ladies managed to to win it but now they're looking at the general the how the the the rugby 7 series has been what maybe has has been the main highlight for you. >> I feel like Mingai winning this circuit because I saw Kabra have been on form also KC have been on form. >> I feel like kudos to them because even kudos to Stratmo reaching the final of the Christian circuit. So yeah, kudos to to to Mini and also to Stratmo because >> teams like Kabras have been dominating the circuit. Yeah. >> Also KCB have been dominating the circuit. Yeah. But hope this that competition want to see new new winners. >> With KCB, >> Cabras want to see new winners. Of course, talking about Christy Sevens, we had them in Oilers facing Strathmore in the final they managed to win it 24 points to 12 which is a big dash and we can see the position the Strathmore had all the position but had the better outcome. So apart from that that was the main highlight of the weekend in the rugby where I mean guy all now the new champions but overall champions we know is KCB rugby but apart from now now apart from rugby we're going to switch up and look at football what really happened football where the main highlight of course was Taska against Hal where the t the the halal coach came out and said the reason why they lost to Tusca in Nairobi was because they were not able to breathe They're saying that there's no enough oxygen in Kenya. But [laughter] but looking at at the sports angle, what really is it really an excuse or is it really something that might happen in football? I >> I feel at the end of the day >> the the the results >> will determine also like when they played away when Tesa played away from home >> they were leading by two goals to nil. However, the team came back and they picked a draw. Also, I feel like Tusca took the advantage by having that oxygen [laughter] you see here in Kenya. So, I feel like the they could have done better and perform well at home. >> You see, yes, they dropped point away from home. >> Uh they were leading by two goals to nil. However, >> they came here home. >> Mhm. >> Uh beaten. >> Yeah. Remember the first first leg we went to to play in Sudan. That is Task went out went to play in Sudan. We managed to get a two to draw >> then we came back home and I managed to win it one go to zero. >> Yeah, it was a beautiful goal. So Collins with the great >> uh cross to >> who seems in this match to be more playing >> more forward. He was like a 10 and usually know him being a six or an eight. Yeah, the pivot in the game. >> Yeah, with so I feel like bring the best out of Taska. We could see Tusca playing a beautiful football enjoying the football watching them because previously last season before he joined. >> Mhm. >> Uh we were like [laughter] but now we we seeing the the football we love the Kark football. Do you believe that Julian Met now coming to Tuscan also the sign that he made this season is transforming task to a powerhouse cuz they played against the the Super Cup final. They managed to beat them. Remember they did not have a good a good run in the South Africa G cup but I think now getting up to the new season we don't know when it will start but I think Taska now there's a big threat. They're going to face a black star of Tanzania is not as a easy side so that they can know if they're going to qualify for the CF confederation cup. But now judging from what we have seen with Julian Met and Taska. What do you where do you place Taska? >> I I placed Taska to be a top top contender of the league >> and this is the different task and you see >> uh Julian has brought that coion between the team. >> You could see him having one-on-one conversation with each player trying to understand them. also bring in the likes of Kina Jono from Nairobi United who played in the preh for Nairobi United last season also >> Abood who has that experience even giving him the cap the captain >> the captain uh >> those are good good signs you know and also [clears throat] uh the gam cup I don't feel like it shows the real task you know because >> we saw the real Taska when they face Gaya Yeah. >> Yeah. In the Super Cup that 3-0 win 3-1 win statement win. >> Yeah. In which that goal that Gormma scored, it was a non goal. >> Yeah. >> We saw them dominating Gmaya >> and Situs can be a contender. What I see like is a contender this season. >> Yeah. Yeah. Remember remember if they're not going to qualify, but I think they're going to qualify for the C confer is not a simple team. But even their run in the the Moad last that is the domestic cup last last season was even something to applaud about. As much as they're not talking about their performance in the league last season, but their run in the the the domestic cup I think was something to applaud about. And I think this time if they're going they're not going for the Confederation Cup. That means they they just have the the league and also the the Mazak maybe to concentrate on I think there'll be a big threat in the league. I'm I'm happy with the way we can see new faces playing playing this confederation cup because last season it was Nairobi United playing the confederation cup. The previous season was uh Kenya police >> which Abu was the the captain during that period and now this season you can see task you can see new faces we are tired with seeing good usual. >> Yeah. Now that's competition you know Kenya is considered like a one power. >> Mhm. I was by because GMA always dominating all over like we know at the end of the season GMA will win it. We know at the end of the season we want to see new faces. New faces bringing competition to GMA. >> Yeah. Yeah. Of course that's what we want to see. Just an highlight on what you were talking about. You're talking about Taska against Alhal which they faced in before the second leg of the Confederation Cup qualifiers which we managed to win. Task managed to win one go to zero. Then that means on aggregate task went home with three three goes to two which means now h as much as you're complaining about the altitude and about the oxygen not being enough in Kenya bye-bye for now maybe see you next time but we want to see more maybe better results compared to what we united doing in the confidential cup winning zero games in their group stages so if task going to qualify we want to see better results and talking about our qualification let's look at what happened to your own team Cormaya in the the calf champions league against the the current champions of the of the of the title that is pyramids. Pyramines is not an easy side. >> Yeah, it's not easy. >> They really showed us what they can do. But I just want to highlight what happened in the first leg. The second leg there's not much to talk about cuz five goals you cannot talk about five goals >> especially from away from [laughter] >> Yeah, that's not really a conversation that we want to have right now. Let's talk about that is the first leg that we had and I think um Bonaface came out that is the chairman of FC Lopez and said something about we are not matching the pace of these teams this elite type of teams go does not match that type of pace we are not we don't have that type of energy don't have that type of quality in our football so judging from what we have seen in our league GMA is one of is the best team in the in our league so far is the current champions of our league so far So judging from the statement that he has now judging from what we have in the league do you do you where can you rank the Kenya league >> we are far we far far far so much because even now we've not seted our league that shows lack of seriousness >> and I went on and posted should we abolish the league and start >> because when you see pyramids when you hear you're playing a team from the Arabic countries, >> you fear them because you can see the way they have structured their league, >> the way they know what they want, their stadiums, >> from youth development to the senior teams >> to the national teams to the seriousness within >> the federation in uh from those countries. >> You could also see the physique of the of the players. >> Yeah. [laughter] >> You see like I feel like GMA played well. >> Mhm. >> Played well to my expectation. I didn't expect them to play that good. >> Mhm. >> But they played well. Especially there's some chances the sharif chance that came early in the early in the match if we could have utilized it to have help us. But it didn't have help us to qualify >> uh to the next round >> in which I feel like >> we need to sit down >> starting from the government. They need to bring a structure that is going to help our our league. >> Amani is a good is a good chairman. He's a good leader. Even I believe >> to me I saw somewhere that he said that he's going to run >> for the the president after meeting another FCA to that level that he believes. >> Mhm. >> I feel like you can see his vision. >> Mhm. >> You can see what he wants. >> Mhm. And God willing I I normally say I would want to see if playing in the Champions League. >> Yeah. because they will they will waken up GMA because grandmother in a comfort zone like to me playing pyramids and >> I think there's that type of banter that was going on was throwing some shade [laughter] >> in which at when they playing the >> Mhm. >> there was that banter every now and then. Mhm. >> Now I want to see FC Lopad rising up even this season. I'm a GMA fan but we want to see that competition >> from FC Lopad. >> Yeah. But apart from now talking about FC Lopez, let's talk about what happened in Gm this game against pyramids maybe talk about the quality of the players. And I think uh after this first leg that we had there was a lot of blaming to the coach Canal about the score rotation that he has been doing exercising trying to experiment experiment between the new players that he has remember you have lost some key players in your team but you brought in other new players but now we're talking about the midfield the the midfield and also the attacking that you have also the defense maybe what has the key maybe some key issues that you see in this Gome team that maybe are costing you matches because we saw it during the the final in Then back to back losses. Back to back losses. So far you've lost four into the last four that you played. >> Yeah. I feel like a knows his players better than we know them. >> Mhm. because he can see each player the attitude he's bringing the way he's carrying himself in the [clears throat] training ground and the form as he said like >> in the first leg he started leo then he ss him and brought Ben Stanley >> in which uh we expected him to like even the uh moua didn't expect let's need to start however aono played a tactical again in which it it really worked for him but however in terms of results didn't work for him. I feel like Gome lack that defensive midfielder >> that who can in short >> like he can cover his defense line because >> also the the likes of Sylvester being injured that partnership between Sylvester and Frank Oambo >> I feel like we are missing >> yes Kogi is a top top player he's a leader but I feel like the partnership between Sylvester and Frank it has been working for us is good also I feel like the rotation at the back especially the fullback like the game the second leg we saw him starting >> two right backs yeah like he he played Sakari and also Cha I feel like you have there why don't you play him as a left back he's not injured unless something something else happened >> that tradition is sometimes affecting him because you can he has to look at how many matches >> uh the player played >> containing like balancing maybe you can yeah >> come I feel like last season the reason why Sylvester was injured is because he played a lot of >> Yeah. >> So maybe find the balance between the team. >> Yeah. Find the balance. >> These big games is not our place to even experiment. >> The beauty the beauty of Gurmay is that the depth in that team. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They have a huge depth in that team because you can see the we have Alfa Macha Lesni Ben Stanley. They have also Yeah. Alpha also with the other guy there's so many D there's so many players but I feel like he hasn't find that coition in that team those player that found this is my first team this is my first team they are quality players >> yeah quality players >> yeah quality players all over you want >> quality players within Kenya because this [laughter] >> yes they're quality players but I feel like the level not rich the pyramid >> they're not elite that type of elite level to to compete against pyramids talking about pyramids pyramids went home with the aggregate of seven goals to one against Gmier. That means Gormaya now you're going to focus on the league. But now let's get back to the league and talk a little bit about the league before switching gears all the way to Europe. Maybe let's talk about what what's really up in the league cuz it's been four four four weeks right now. We'll be talking about the same story. Kenya Kibang Sharks Karks have been relegated but they said no no we are not going anywhere. We're still following the 2019 act but I think before the start of the last season they they decided to follow the 25 act then in the Middle East we had that type of um N United and thing that's going on then they've switched back to the 2019 act so they are leaning on that side but now as a football fan as a Gmaya fan as a as a let's say a general football supporter in Kenya what does it affect you mostly even um even looking at how they are giving the reason does do Do you really see it as an excuse for they because they don't want to play in the national league or do you see it as they have a valid point? >> First of all, I feel like we are currently forgetting the players and the coaches because yes, the the league is is on a break. >> We are trying to find a solution to it. >> Also, I understand also sharks because playing the NSL cho >> getting out of there is also crazy. Yeah, you you need a lot of because in there's a lot of traveling. >> Most of the teams are the western the Kenya region. >> So Sharks first of all before Sh file the case >> Mad United and Stars had failed the case. they were almost failed the case because they were in the relegation zone and eventually to a point that uh the chairman of stars said that uh if we going to be relegated we're going to cancel stars. >> Yeah, I remember that that statement that they made. >> Yeah. So I feel like uh by stars and mother gave sharks >> the courage to go and file the case because in Sim also remember if maybe FKF they go and win the case >> can also go and file the case and file another case because >> Google they on the same side with sharks you see >> also if there'll be playoffs remember players for last season have to play the playoffs >> not players that have signed >> sign the problem is I had that allegedly that the some of the players that were playing for Mombasa United which is one of the teams that was promoted in which United one of the team that had the best fan base in here in Kenya and Mombas they were promoted Miguri Masinated they were promoted >> so >> uh Masinated they have to use their players and in which those players that were used last season have parted ways most of them >> because in Kenya I feel like two to three players but Kenya they norally we bring and I feel like in our to effect as teams and also as coaches I've worked with some of the coaches in which >> to bring that that between players it's sad so like some of the players of Mombasa were not played allegedly >> so it be like playoffs players [laughter] >> there's a whole chaos but maybe maybe let's hope for for the better. But I think now the case should be closed at this at this time. >> There'll be a hearing on 21st >> in which uh FKF said that the league will be kicking off on date 19. >> Mhm. >> However, uh according to the sports tribunal act >> uh because that's they said we'll start the league without Mombasa United and >> Kibang because in the NS both the NSL and the KPL you know. So I feel like also remember the division one teams the likes of Kimi combined the likes of Spitfire the likes of Kiraa >> and the likes of I forgot the other team. So four teams were being promoted for the 2025 roles >> and three teams are being promoted to the KPL four teams to the NSL. Remember in the division one there are four zones. >> So it means if you use the 2019 rules >> we have three teams have to be promoted. Mhm. >> So I feel like maybe if they going to use the 2019 rule, they'll play each other. Maybe zone one, zone, division one, zone Act, zone C and Dan qualify then the best losers. But I feel like the 2019 rule in our work for many of the teams especially in the NSL because that when these teams play in the playoffs >> uh the promotion relegation playoffs teams in they have been affected >> two times nas have been affected >> they've been seen in the league and the NSL. So I feel like >> the 2019 rules for me they worked >> for these NSL teams and also the division one teams. Yeah. >> Yeah. But we want to see what will happen cuz now it's about time that you can see back the league already. The other leagues have started the Tanzanian have started the league. They're even in game week four right now. Uganda still the same. The other countries seem the same but Kenya still on the on the court courtroom. But away from that maybe let's look at what really made our highlights during the Champions League. Of course now being back the game week one. Talk about Manchester United against Sabah. Is this man win for goals to zero but now when it came back to the league you you were trashed by Manchester City. Now looking at this Manchester United team is it the depth that you don't have in that team or maybe what's the some of the key weakness in the Manchester United team. >> I feel like United they're letting themselves down. >> They [clears throat] were so miserable like jumbolic >> against Man City. You cannot tell me in the you've played 70 minutes. >> Mhm. >> You cannot score a goal against 10 men. I don't care if it's Manchester City. I don't care if it's Arsenal Hal City team, but you have to score goal. >> Mhm. >> When you are playing against 10 men. However, uh Maresa, Enzo Moreska, the head coach of Man City, came and said that that record, >> it kind of played uh it favored them. >> Mhm. >> Because coming into that match when they playing 11 men against 11 men, you could see Man City were always on the ball >> uh positional play football. However, United used the transition football from defense to attack in which you could see >> using Rashford and waiting for those counterattacks. That was this that was the plan for United. However, when they were playing against 10 men, they had to >> have the ball always taking the ball, taking the ball, passing the ball, taking the ball, rotation. And I feel like if they could have been more uh quick and faster also patient because I feel like in after after rece after after receiving that red card >> the first 10 minutes man were always on the ball. You could see in the stats >> man 56 40 44 G that's you should not expect when you're playing 10 man. I feel like also Carrick would have made that uh Cesco would have brought Cisco early in the second half. >> I don't see why bring you in the 65 minute. You can bring him in the >> uh in the 45 before the second half kickoff. Also, you're one n down. You're playing Man City 1 nil down uh in the 16th minute. >> You have four defenders. Why don't you remove dog? Do is not performing. Remove him. Bring Cesco. Mhm. >> You have nothing to lose. >> Mhm. >> No, I don't. Okay. Yes. He removed Tielemans, but I feel like should have had numbers in up front because we could see Kuna. >> I feel like you could have worked if you could bring more attacking. >> Yeah, because you could see Kuna dropping the ball. There's no number nine. So, I feel like he could have brought Cisco early in the minute. >> It could have worked for United. >> Yeah. But anyway, let's talk about maybe what happened in the Champions League apart from what you're thrashing in the weekend. [laughter] Let's talk about what happened in the Champions League against Sabbaku. And I think you managed to win that game four goals to zero. Amazing performance. >> It's an amazing performance, but also you can consider the team is a underdog team. >> Mhm. So it has not yet convinced you that you can do it in the Champions League. >> Yeah. You could see it started dog on the left. >> Mhm. >> Mazawi. >> Mhm. >> Like I feel like yes, they needed that win because they had to prove something >> because if they could have lost the match against Sabah then come and lost this match against Manchester City. >> Mhm. >> Because I would say but I would say because don't want to because he has to put something in his pocket. So, but the pressure will be there. >> In the midweek, they'll be playing against Brighton, the Carabal Cup, only pressure. >> So, he needs to find a solution to the team because that team, yes, they won by four goals to nil. They could have won more, >> but when you're facing big teams, when you're facing a 10 man, >> Mhm. >> you need to perform. >> Yeah, we mentioned something about Manchester United might struggle because of the amount of matches that they're going to play with the squad depth that you don't have. I I don't believe you have a score. >> Yeah, you don't you don't have a squad then as compared to Arsenal. I admire currently I admire Arsenal. hate watching [laughter] >> but it doesn't work really >> as I feel like as found what they need as found that depth because you could see >> they are number one defender Saliba is injured is injured but they have Konza there's no problem >> is like another Gabrielle which is frustrating for many >> Timbo is injured Beno has been covering the space very well >> when Khifur is injured they can play ski there they can play hikap Yeah. >> Mhm. >> You could see skill is being played as a six as a eight. >> Mhm. >> Bruno is on the bench. That the depth United are lacking. >> You see uh Mago who is play there is not that quality as compared to Mosa and >> uh Kza you see uh uh Lo was injured. >> Mhm. >> The quality Lo carries >> you cannot compare it to dog. >> Mhm. you know, you know, even preferred to have played as a left center as a left fullback. >> Mhm. >> Anyway, uh United, they need to style up especially next season when they be going for next summer transfer. They need to go for quality. Quality is doing that 5 million because I going to release close of 35 million. >> You need to go Man City are going for quality. They're spending money. >> Mhm. >> You know, they're spending money >> stingy with your money. >> My question is Tottenham, [clears throat] >> they bought players, quality players. The likes of Tonali, Fernandez, Savinho, >> uh who is the other one? >> Maz is called the Egyptian guy. >> Ah, Mamush. >> Mammush. >> Those are quality players. Last season they finish number 18. >> But they're still struggling this season. Doesn't guarantee you that when you go for quality players, >> mentality. mentality mentality. >> Do you think Manchester United have that type of mentality that we are going we can win these trophies? >> I feel like they have the quality, >> they have the mentality, but they need to stay upren the best football you know from United. >> Yeah. >> Now away from Manchester United, Man City played also in the Champions League against um FC Porto. They managed to win it two goals to zero. Not much talk about Holland yet again showing up where he's class for Manchester Manchester City. I think he's the one who's carrying Manchester City so far right now. Then another team that is worth talking about is Barcelona. The way they have been performing in the in the league the La Liga and also in the Champions League Rafina Yamal being on form. What can you say about this young guy called? >> Wow. First of all, if you're playing fantasy, [laughter] a Champions League, you need to place these two guys, Rafina. Yal is a brilliant world class player. >> I feel like Barcelona found the gym out of that player because have been producing players >> all over the likes of Kubasi. >> Mhm. >> I feel like they should give him the ball. >> Mhm. >> Because he deserves it. >> He won the World Cup. uh he reached almost the Champions League final as they scoring goals also la Liga he won. >> Mhm. >> Like despite them saying he's too young when he was too young. >> Mhm. This season I feel like this competition this season will be hard to find the right answer feel like you see. So yeah, Barcelona is a team to watch out in the Champions League. >> They have a goal average of 3.9 >> per match. >> That means above four goals. >> Yeah, above above four goals. So I feel like people need to watch out Barcelona and I feel this season they'll be coming for the Champions League more than anything else. They won >> that also made that statement and said this is the year that Barcelona is going to win the Champions League. I'm talking about Champions League. They managed to win again five goals to one. Then another team that was played was PSG against Sloan six goals to one win for PSG. Then Liverpool against Atletico Madrid. Liverpool has not been that convincing in the in the English Premier League, but in the Champions League, let's say a first start, they managed to win it two goals to one. Then another team was Bayern Munich which managed to win five goals to five goals to zero against Bordim. Then we had a como against RB Leo winning four goals to one. Then we had another team here. We had Napoli against Arsenal. Arsenal still joining their class, the defensive class in in the both the English Premier League and also only conceding against Chelsea. >> Yeah. They managed to win this game one goal to zero. Then Real Madrid against Inter Milan. What can you say about your Zourinho with the new Real Madrid? Are they going all the way for the trophies? Do they need the silvers? >> I I feel like when you hear Real Madrid, you see Champions League >> because that's where they put their eyes on. >> Mhm. >> Uh last season and the previous season, they have been floppy. They've not been showing that character we know from Real Madrid. But I feel like Perez has brought the right man. >> You could see the way he has balanced the art chaos between also the partnership between Venicious and B. >> You could see we have a newborn Real Madrid. >> I feel like when they blend Vizor to blend Vizori, we'll see the best out of Real Madrid. Mhm. >> And I feel like Mbappe is one of the top top class player >> in this generation because until now I'm not understand Champions League. >> I'm not right now. He's turning 27. >> Yeah. I remember like there was a time is either Holland >> or Mapi. >> Mhm. You see >> before Yamal came to the >> before Yamal came into the bracket also dele >> but I feel like when this Real Madrid also they have had quality players >> uh this season they like >> but let's talk about the signing of Yande you think it's convincing for 140 million >> I feel like in this market [laughter] >> you never know >> you never know but I feel like is 70 to 80 >> yeah it's not really praising these players. The likes of Rogers, >> the likes of >> Anderson, Enzo. >> Mhm. >> Like they were praising these players also. Remember like until now yesterday it yesterday >> they won by four goals to one at Real Madrid. That's the first time Mund started. But you could see Balanza like the team that is playing you cannot outshine Venicious on the left. >> Yeah. You can see them the quality the difference between that wing quality and this >> also is a player that believes in experienced players because a player that is >> is rising he's a young talent he's a very very good player the first Ian to play for Real Madrid >> also with the likes of Diaz in which Diaz has been playing on the left side on the right side I feel like he's more experienced however deund you need to be patient >> need to be patient and also we saw Mourinho saying that the player needs to be patient. He's understanding what he wants and I feel like >> after this first leg or maybe the end of this season we'll see a better demund that we knew at least Real Madrid will be facing Roma in the second game of the Champions League. Then we have in against Rouge then Galatasa will be facing Barcelona. Then Atletico Madrid now will be facing your home team United. >> Remember we beat them in the in the friendly matches. Yeah. This is the friendly matches. >> Yeah. You managed to win it two goals one. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Then you have Arsenal against Lil. Then we have Viking will be facing Bayun which I know it will be a big beating. That's a punch bag for the Champions League. Then Val will be facing Napoli. Then Liverpool be facing LK. Then Manchester City will be facing PSG in the Champions League game week, the match day two. Then Aston Villa will be facing Fabachi. So make sure you stay and watch those games. But away from the Champions League, maybe look as what really happened in the league, the English Premier League. Of course, we have we have talked about Manchester United against Manchester City. We said >> kudos to Manchester City for win that game. They conceded they got a red card in the earlier minutes. But now away from that, let's talk about the other parts. Chelsea, Chelsea against LC. LCT, remember they have been having a good run in the English Premier League. They started off with Manchester United winning two goals to zero. They managed to keep a clean sheets. They have not conceded any goals, but they've played against um Chelsea. Chelsea they went to draw to to draw. What can you say about LC? LC are they having a run like what we saw with Leicester in the 2016 and 2017 season? >> Yeah, LC by now they have 10 points out. How many points have they collected? >> City they've been good this season especially beating a good United team like the BT between Al City they know they cannot contain the ball. >> They have to wait for the set piece in which set piece is what won Arsenal last season in the league. You can say that >> uh they need to keep that momentum of not conceding goals >> even despite them being a a conceded team that is going to be relegated this season. But the way they've started, they started on a good note and they need to continue that. The way Makban is performing in front there. I believe if they want to do well during the mid-season transfer, they need to add some striking force because you cannot win a match without goals. Mhm. >> So they need to add some players, experienced players because they saw is it ips under but they add experienced players in that team. >> So I don't know what's not happening but I feel like >> it's it's working for whole city because they're playing on a back >> three five for two like you see. So they are more defensive team and they're relying on the set piece. Yeah. >> A lot a lot. Uh Chelsea. Chelsea maybe work on your defense. That's the only thing that you can say about Chelse. >> Chelsea I feel like I feel like after bringing Lacron >> Mhm. >> they'll be much better >> stronger defensively. >> Yeah, they much better. >> Do you see any difference between Du Martinez and Sanchez just same thing? >> I feel like it's a bad day in the office >> for him >> for the past two games. >> Mhm. I feel like when you have a best uh a top top uh Martinez because I feel like that was a robbery because buying uh Martinez a wage of of seven of 7 million >> that's a robbery capsa I feel like Chelsea did a very good business this season buying him >> because you could see Matias Sanchez was really floppy so I feel like it's a Good sign for Chelsea. >> Mhm. >> And leadership because Chelsea they've been lacking leadership. Don't feel like the likes of Fakina the fakana the likes of yes they're good players but they're not quality players. >> Yes I've told you look at the Alexa beast even scary. >> Yeah they have those quality players. Look at Man City >> Ruben Kustanov Vul those are quality players. You see uh Chelsea, they have good players. I can see that. >> Yeah, that's >> all right. Let's talk about now because of time I think I'm just going to highlight what's really happened. We had Coventry against Brighton. Brighton beating Coventry 5 goals to zero. Then Sunderland against Arsenal. Arsenal winning it in the last minute. They got they were heading early on with one goal to zero. Then in the last nine minute they got a penalty winning it at two goals to zero. Then Tottenham they have not scored any goal in the in the English Premier League. suffered another draw yet against Everton 000 draw. Then we had ever we had Bournemouth against Brenford another two two draw then as Aston Via sorry against Forest forest beating Aston Villa to two goals to one then Chelsea against City 22 draw then Crystal Palace against Ipsswich another getting a goal getting a win against Crystal Palace 3-2 then of course Liam DeA being one of the one of the main topic talk about then Liverpool against Fulham not a good run for Liverpool cuz They suffered a 000 draw against Fulham. That means now now it's only Man City and Arsenal who have won all their four games so far. They are topping at number one and number two with 12 points. But uh watch out for round four cuz we have leads against Newcastle today. Then of course Brenford be facing Chelsea. Then we have Tottenham against Aston Villa. I'm just fearing for Tottenham cuz it doesn't look good for Tottenham. Then we have Brighton against Arsenal. Then Everton Everton against Ipsswich. Then we have uh Newcastle do in the weekend against Al City. Then not forest against Coventry. Then Bournemouth against Liverpool. Then Lees against Crystal Palace. Then we'll have Man City against then Manchester United be playing against Fulham. Maybe a quick prediction. What can you say about Man City? Manchester Manchester United against Fulham. >> Manchester United at home. >> Mhm. >> Uh I feel like Yeah, Fulham have been struggling this season. >> Uh I feel like it's either a draw or a win for United. Mhm. >> want to see him. >> They need to wake up with one team at least [laughter] because >> pressure now is coming in a team like United as a head coach, >> as a player, >> you need to know how to sustain that pressure, especially when the results are not going on your side. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Of course, uh they are expecting Carrick to win the games. If he's not win the games, get out of >> I believe >> Car is still an interim. >> Mhm. Carrick's not like >> he's not really cemented his position as he's one of the top coach. >> Yeah. I feel like he's still an interim head coach at United >> and you see like the way Mourinho will come into a team. >> Mhm. >> And you'll see that demand, that leadership, >> Enrique, >> uh Flick, you see those that are coaches that when they come to a team, you will see like there's a vision. >> Yeah. >> You know, they know what they're doing. There's command. >> Mhm. you know, they know how to control the press. You see, I feel like Car is still there as an inter. And if he doesn't perform well by the end of December, >> we have sucked. >> We'll see a new coach. But anyway, make sure you watch out for those games. Of course, we have the Carabau and of course the Champions League that is game two. Make sure you watch all those games. Then I'll be updating you more on Thursday about sports.
