Three weeks ago, before Arsenal lost against Manchester United, Arsène Wenger suggested playing a back three had helped his side combat the counterattack which, of all their many weaknesses over the past decade, has probably been their biggest.

It was a claim that prodded interest at the time and has Donatas Motiejunas Youth jersey become more intriguing only in the days since. The truth of it will be severely tested on Friday as Arsenal face Liverpool, who at the moment are one of the most dangerous counterattacking sides in the world.

If, that is, Arsenal play a back three – which may depend on the fitness of Shkodran Mustafi. When he was forced off against United after the concession of the second goal, Arsenal switched to a back four and proceeded to dominate, before conceding on the counter. There, at least, then was an exception to prove the rule; in the familiar 4-2-3-1, Arsenal were still vulnerable to counterattacks.
The two goals they had conceded early in the game had been the result of needlessly conceding possession followed by a rapid transition, which is not quite the same thing, at least not the classic way of conceding on the counter to which Wenger had presumably been referring. If you Christian Yelich Authentic Jersey give the ball away in your own half when the majority of the team are heading the other way, it doesn’t really matter what formation you play.
The back four remained for the Europa League game against Bate Borisov when Arsenal, with a much‑changed lineup, Brandon Doughty Jersey won 6-0. The 3-4-2-1 was back for the game against Southampton. Again Arsenal fell behind early after giving the ball away cheaply. This time Wenger waited until the 64th minute before switching to a back four, again his side dominated, and this time they found a late equaliser.
In the three games since, they have started with a back four. They have not conceded but have scored only twice, drawing at West Ham and beating Newcastle in the league before beating West Ham in the Carabao Cup. In none of those games have they played with anything like the rhythm they managed in their best periods against United and Southampton, but on the other hand neither have they given the ball away stupidly in dangerous areas.
The messages are confusing. Around the United match, Wenger seemed to be hinting that the back three was for everyday use, but that the 4-2-3-1 had a function for chasing games – or perhaps for meetings with sides he expected not to pose much of a threat on the break. Yet if anything, in the games when the 4-2-3-1 has been used from the start, the result seems to have been a loss of fluency.
Not, of course that such matters are just to do with formation. Jack Wilshere played perfectly well against West Ham and Newcastle but perhaps the absence of Aaron Ramsey and the break-up of his partnership with Granit Xhaka has created a slight imbalance in midfield. And a strength of David Moyes and Rafa Benítez over the years has been their capacity to take any work of art and turn it into something less palatable.
Those two names highlight another aspect http://www.newenglandpatriotsauthorizedstore.com/kyle-van-noy-jersey-elite of Wenger’s comment, which is how odd they would have sounded 13 years ago when Benítez arrived at Liverpool with Moyes about to lead Everton to finish above Liverpool. Back then, Wenger did not worry about counterattacking because he was the king of the counter. The Invincibles team were at their most thrilling http://www.officialauthenticshoppanthers.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_MARIO_ADDISON_JERSEY.html and most dangerous when Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Fredrik Ljungberg were surging forward on the break. Other teams worried about being countered upon by Arsenal who, thanks to the barrier Patrick Vieira and Gilberto Silva provided at the back of midfield, could absorb pressure. Arsenal had grace, but they also had power http://www.authenticramsofficialshop.com/Nike-Torry-Holt-Jersey.html and acceleration.
Their decline since reaching the Champions League final in 2006 is in part a financial issue, Arsenal’s inability, particularly as they moved stadium, to cope with the new era inaugurated by Roman Abramovich’s arrival at Chelsea. But it’s also a result of Wenger’s decision to abandon the old ways and start collecting diminutive creators. It is as though a master falconer had suddenly started breeding canaries.

No wonder this was the hottest ticket in town; this was a night the red half of Bristol will simply never forget. As the final whistle blew, a sea of Bristol City supporters stormed the pitch while manager Lee Johnson was still recovering after hurtling down the touchline, catching a delirious ballboy in mid-flight before swinging him around his hips, by which time the celebrations were already well under way. Bristol City had deservedly dispatched Manchester United for the first time since 1978, with a brilliant 93rd-minute winner teeing up a date with Manchester City in the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Korey Smith, the matchwinner who crashed home with only seconds remaining, was mobbed before leaving the pitch “like John Wayne”, according to Johnson while Joe Bryan, the Bristolian and academy graduate, who opened the scoring in equally emphatic style, was carried towards the dressing room. Johnson had urged his players to make themselves heroes but they did that and more, etching their names into history after felling the holders in the sweetest manner imaginable. In doing so, the Championship side have now beaten four Premier League opponents this season, more than both Swansea City and West Bromwich Albion. Another fearless performance like this and they might make that five.

This was always going to be a special occasion, under the lights inside at a sold-out – revamped and rocking – Ashton Gate as the Robins duelled with United for the first time since 1980. The ambition here is to make these meetings a more regular occurrence, Womens Tramaine Brock Jersey with City third in the second tier and vying for promotion. José Mourinho stuck to his word by naming a strong team here although David de Gea and Nemanja Matic did not travel to the West Country. Luke Shaw, however, made his first start since April.
It was Smith – a £350,000 signing from Oldham Athletic – and City’s one change, the incoming former United goalkeeper Luke Steele, who made the greatest impression, with the latter twice superbly denying the substitute Romelu Lukaku. Juston Burris Jersey Smith’s opposite number Sergio Romero, though, was kept more busy during a frenetic first half of action, with Josh Brownhill’s dipping drive forcing him to punch clear early on while defender Hordur Magnusson also went close.
United, though http://www.anaheimducksofficialonline.com/Adidas-Patrick-Eaves-Jersey largely underwhelming, twice struck the woodwork inside 21 minutes, Benjamin Watson Jersey through the returning Zlatan Ibrahimovic and then Marcus Rashford. Ibrahimovic then skewed a volley horribly wide and into the rebuilt South Stand. When Smith drove into the http://www.officialsunsproshop.com/authentic-4-tyson-chandler-jersey.html box he almost laid the ball on a plate for Bobby Reid only for Daley Blind to pour cold water on the move, intercepting just as the forward looked to pull the trigger.
Aden Flint, who has a knack for coming up with the goods having scored six times already from centre-back this season, did put the ball in the net when poking home after blocking Romero’s goal-kick but the referee, Mike Dean, intervened with the defender already wheeling away. It caused a kerfuffle on the touchline, too, with Mourinho’s assistant, Rui Faria, and Bristol City assistant coach Dean Holden briefly exchanging words.
After the interval, a couple of quickfire late challenges on Paul Pogba and then Anthony Martial presented the visitors with the chance to test Steele. Test him they did, with the City goalkeeper diving low to his right to clear Rashford’s effort. Then City flew forward, with Reid flashing a shot into the side-netting after eluding Victor Lindelof.
City’s next move left a significant mark, though. Colton Parayko Authentic Jersey Reid played a fine through ball into Bryan, who raced down the left before blasting the ball across Romero and into the corner of the net. United, as poor as they had been, were shell-shocked while the home dugout exploded to life as Johnson, Holden, assistant coach Jamie McAllister, kit man Scott Murray and goalkeeping coach David Coles celebrated wildly in an impromptu mosh pit.
Ashton Gate was bouncing, but the http://www.officialnewjerseydevils.com/Adidas-Mike-Cammalleri-Jersey joy was short-lived. Six minutes later, Pogba ran in to blockade of red shirts, winning a soft free-kick out of the midfielder Smith. Ibrahimovic stood over it before hammering it low around the wall and past Steele, who seemed to be caught unsighted. Ibrahimovic simply wagged his finger in celebration.
Then came Lukaku in place of Blind but it was Bryan who found the next opening, his tame right-footed effort being easily gathered by Romero after he had read Reid’s nutmeg. Mourinho then introduced Mkhitaryan – but in place of Ibrahimovic – while City went for broke, summoning the former Bristol Rovers striker Matty Taylor in place of Magnusson.

More than 90% of female footballers Aqib Talib Youth jersey have considered quitting the game. That is the outcome of the most extensive survey of its kind, carried out by world players’ union Fifpro, which interviewed more than 3,000 footballers at the top of the game for its report, Working Conditions in Professional Women’s Football. The fragility of the foundations on which women’s football is being built has been laid bare.

It has been a tumultuous year for the sport. Huge highs – not least the phenomenal support around Euro 2017 and increasing professionalism across the top of European leagues – have been tempered by a cacophony of national team wage disputes while in http://www.officialcavaliershop.com/authentic-13-tristan-thompson-jersey.html England, the summer success of the Lionesses has been marred by the Mark Sampson saga and exposure of the FA’s inability to handle crisis in the game.
All these things, the good and the bad, indicate the same thing: that women’s football is being taken more seriously than it has been in more than 100 years. Yet the overwhelming majority of players are not working in environments that foster longevity in the game. With 69% of players aged between 18 and 23, huge swathes are being lost before they hit their prime. The reasons for considering leaving early – financial, to start a family, to work, to study, sick of the lack of structure in football – highlight just how hard it is for women at the top to make football pay. A professional playing environment is one thing, but providing players with the http://www.officialroyalsstoreonline.com/Alex_Gordon_Jersey wages, pensions and long-term career Wesley Johnson Womens Jersey opportunities off the pitch that make for a viable future in the game is a long way off.
In England, things are slightly rosier. Where globally the average contract length for players is 12 months (with 47% of those surveyed having no contract at all), in the Women’s Super League it stands at 21 months. Both of these figures, though, are inadequate. It is no wonder players worry about the future when, at best, they can secure two years at a club.
At the same time, an overwhelming majority of players do not earn enough from football to live on, let alone a wage that can offer long-term sustainability. A staggering 50% of those who participated in the survey http://www.authenticlakersstore.com/authentic-22-elgin-baylor-jersey.html are not paid to play at all while almost two-thirds earn less than $600 (£450) a month. And 37% of those paid are paid late.
Again, in England it is brighter, but wages still rank lower for the vast majority of players than would be considered liveable, with the average salary of the 99 surveyed WSL players found to be £749 to £1497 per month. While 26% said their club does not cover their football expenses, just 13% have a retirement fund and 11% have no written contract. It is no wonder, then, that 46% of players across the world said they study while they play and 30% work alongside their football to make ends meet.
The lack of support for players wanting to start a family is equally as damning. A devastatingly low 2% of players have children, a figure that in England drops to 1%. It is the second-biggest reason for leaving the game (behind finance) and a huge part of the lives of so many women, yet clubs seem incapable of providing support that gives players the confidence to believe they can have children before returning to their club and their playing career. Instead we see players hanging up Carlos Baerga Authentic Jersey their boots to start a family, or delaying parenthood for as long as possible to continue playing.
Talent is going unharnessed, is being hindered by the struggle to make ends meet and is being lost entirely. It will be impossible for the quality of women’s football to improve, and for commercialism to increase, if players cannot commit to it professionally from an early age and for the long term.
The women’s game is growing, but the increase in – or introduction of – professionalism is not enough. Professionalism needs transforming and standardising from top to bottom. Professionalism that does not pay enough to live on, that fails to offer contractual security, that cannot provide for families and that cannot offer professional structures throughout, cannot be considered true professionalism. It is not sufficient. The players deserve better and this fledgling game needs much stronger foundations if it is going to make leaps in its growth and make that growth sustainable.

The new manager of Unión Deportiva de Las Palmas is on holiday and won’t be back until Trevor Story Jersey the new year. He wasn’t on the bench at the Estadio Gran Canaria on Sunday and won’t be on the bench at the Coliseum on Wednesday either, while the man who will be there in Getafe knows he’ll be gone by the end of the game: he won’t make it to Christmas – which wouldn’t be that unusual except he only started work at the end of November – and the man replacing him won’t make it until after Christmas. He’s been 9,000km away and wants to spend it with his family first. Then, when it’s over, he’ll begin. And when he begins, they’ll begin all over again. Unless something else happens, http://www.authenticfootballonlinestore.com/los-angeles-rams-c-1574_1658.html and it might be an idea not to rule that out. After all, they’ve got form. Poor form, mostly.

Confused? Not half as confused as they must be.
On Sunday night Las Palmas’s fans turned to the presidential box and chanted for the president to “go now!” but he, like the new manager, wasn’t there. This week, though, he will announce that Paco Jémez is the new coach. Quique Setién walked in June having long felt himself pushed, the relationship with the board broken, tools all but downed, his team slipping from top in week two, third in week four and the edge of Europe at halfway to a final 10-game run that read: won none, drawn one, lost nine. Since then, they’ve dropped to the bottom and will have had four more managers in under five months – and that’s just the ones they’ve actually had. Now maybe they’ll finally get one they really wanted, even if it is on the rebound and a little late.
First there was Manolo Márquez. Next came Pako, then Paquito and now Paco, which pretty much suggests they’re working their way through their address book, but that would at least be a method of sorts.
Las Palmas had an agreement with Roberto de Zerbi to take over in the summer. They couldn’t officially announce him because he was involved in a legal dispute with Palermo, but they said it didn’t matter: they had an unnamed manager who was already signed up and was preparing for the season; his identity would be revealed when a judgement was made at the end of June. The problem was that De Zerbi lost and appealed, the case far from closed, and Las Palmas gave up waiting and promoted Márquez from the B team, who he had taken from the third division to Second Division B. In the meantime, Roque Mesa left for Swansea. Kevin-Prince Boateng returned to Germany but Jonathan Viera wasn’t allowed to follow them out , and Vitolo came on a six-month loan.
It was Las Palmas’s determination to make the Vitolo deal happen, even more than Atlético’s, that forced it through when he had announced he was staying at Sevilla. Six months on, he left Las Palmas without anyone really noticing, the player who had declared that he was going home getting injured and hurriedly heading off to Atlético and a happier place. Perhaps it had been inevitable, right from the start. Perhaps there was something in his signing, a presidential promise, that signalled the path.
“It’s all been a bit hasty,” Márquez admitted when he took over. He had publicly said he would be staying with the B team and the club had no intention of promoting him, but here he was, on the eve of pre-season training, with players identified without him, with others having left, faced by injuries, with planning precipitate and interference unavoidable. Six weeks into the season, his team had won two and lost four and he walked. That, at least, was the way they wanted it to look: this was a sacking disguised as a resignation Womens Allen Barbre Jersey – a constructive dismissal at best. “It’s me,” he said, but it wasn’t. He won two in six; without him, Las Palmas have won one in 10.
There was talk of Fernando Hierro and Aitor Karanka; instead, the former Valencia coach Pako Ayesterán arrived. He lost every game until eventually they got a draw – and, having held on in the absence of a clear candidate to take over, that was when patience ran out. In came Paquito Ortiz, the matchday delegate, appointed on 30 November. Las Palmas kept looking. Paco Jémez, born in the Canary Islands, but raised in Córdoba, manager there from 2010-11, recently returned from Cruz Azul in Mexico and a friend of the club’s president Miguel Ángel Ramírez, turned it down: he loves Las Palmas and would always be there for them, he said as he returned to Spain and to Spain’s media, just not now and, they thought, not ever.
With Pako gone and Paco not coming, Paquito stayed a little longer. Las Palmas thought they had a deal for Lanús coach Jorge Almirón, but with the Spanish Federation refusing authorisation, demanding endless paperwork, they eventually gave up. “The only thing they didn’t ask him for was his blood group,” Almirón’s agent complained. Las Palmas went back to Jémez and this time he said yes but he wanted changes made, players signed and sold, and anyway nothing was getting in the way of his family Christmas, not even http://www.authenticspanthersshop.com/jussi-jokinen-jersey_c-440.html desperation, a place at the bottom of the table, a solitary win in 12 weeks, or survival slipping further away. “You have an open wound but instead of stemming the bleeding, you sit and wait a couple of weeks before going to hospital,” complained one local paper.

When Liverpool purr like this, delighting in every incisive move and swarming all over panicked opponents, it is hard to contemplate the http://www.footballcowboysproshop.com/Kyle-Wilber-Jersey reality Brent Burns Authentic Jersey they are a team only marginally closer to the top of the table than they are the bottom three.

This was a performance to showcase all that is thrilling about Jürgen Klopp’s side, from Philippe Coutinho’s invention to Mohamed Salah’s bite, from rare poise at pace in midfield to the relentless press which left Bournemouth gasping for breath. The scoreline may have given the impression of a http://www.officialredwingsauthentic.com/authentic-72-andreas-athanasiou-jersey.html stroll on the south coast, but everything about the victors was blisteringly energetic.

It was the kind of display to which Klopp will cling in charting a route forward, a standard his team must aspire to reach consistently even if the Premier League title is as good as Manchester City’s already. There are other ways, after all, to make this season a success.
In Coutinho, Liverpool possessed the game’s most compelling performer, the Brazilian operating nominally from the left of a front three and demonstrating all the jaw-dropping attributes which so attracted Barcelona last summer.
Deflecting interest from the hierarchy at the Camp Nou may become the Merseyside club’s principal objective next month, so dazzling was his performance here: there was a free-kick thumped against the woodwork, a whipped assist for the fourth, and an opening goal of such beauty as to set an upbeat tone.
The game was approaching the midway point of the first half, with Bournemouth’s spells in possession only ever fleeting, when Coutinho collected from Ragnar Klavan and exchanged passes with the excellent Andrew Robertson on the flank. The forward used the left-back as a decoy at his side as he Tyler Eifert Jersey drove at the home team’s back-tracking defence, the 25-year-old darting inside Simon Francis, http://www.authenticbruinsproshop.com/authentic-67-jakub-zboril-jersey.html bamboozling Lewis Cook, then finishing sharply inside Asmir Begovic’s near post.
The entire move was played out at breakneck pace. It was his 10th goal of a season that was supposed to have been wrecked by that unfulfilled summer move to La Liga, but there would be Authentic Lorenzo Mauldin Jersey regular reminders of his quality on the ball, and the joy he injects into so much of Liverpool’s play.
“It was a nice goal,” Coutinho said through a rather sheepish post-match grin. “Everyone enjoys to play. The manager sometimes changes it, but everyone gives their best and that’s good for Liverpool.”
It was Sadio Mané’s turn to sit out this rout, the Senegalese unused on the bench while Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Devan Dubnyk Womens Jersey Salah had their fun. Opponents are increasingly clued up to the Egyptian’s prowess these days, so impressive has his return to the Premier League proved to date, but few seem capable of nullifying him.
Klopp described Salah’s reward here, with his team’s third just before the interval, as “world class”, as Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain slid a pass down the right for Salah to collect, cut inside Charlie Daniels and Nathan Aké, and find the far corner with a shot. The skill involved was almost implausible, yet made to look matter-of-fact. That, in itself, is an indication of proper pedigree. The fact Salah already has 20 goals from 26 appearances merely emphasises the point.

It is one of Mauricio Pochettino’s guiding principles and, as he prepared for a defining test at Manchester City on Saturday, the Tottenham Hotspur manager mentioned it on many occasions. Respect.

At times, it felt as though he was labouring the point as he talked of his respect for Pep Guardiola, the City manager, with whom he has clashed; for City, in general; and for Kyle Walker, the full-back who swapped Tottenham for the Etihad Stadium last summer.

Pochettino said he respected the style of every opponent and he even offered a reverential nod to the Arsenal Invincibles of 2003-04, who came up in the context of City’s invincible start to the Premier League season.
The conversation turned to one of the themes of the week – how to behave at the moment of victory – and, specifically, the accusation from the Manchester United manager, José Mourinho, that City had let themselves down after their Jacob McQuaide Authentic Jersey triumph at Old Trafford last Sunday; that they had shown a lack of respect.
Mourinho was so rattled by the booming music http://www.cardinalsnflofficialonlineshop.com/T-J-Logan-Jersey from the away dressing room that he ended up becoming involved in a fracas and, still smouldering on Tuesday, he had a pop at City over their “education”.
Pochettino had a different view and it was shaped by pragmatism. To him, the gloating of a rival cannot be allowed to vex. It must simply be taken on the chin; used as a motivational tool. Before an occasion in which composure and mentality will be key, Pochettino sought to set the tone for his players.
“I never complain if another team celebrates because sometimes it’s good, after you lose, to hear everything that happens in the other changing room,” Pochettino said. “It’s good to feel the pain. With respect, of course, because it’s always about respect, but sometimes it’s good to listen.
“I want to tell you that when we won our games, like at Huddersfield or at Wembley against Stoke, the players put the music on and it’s so loud. It’s normal. If you lose the game, you are not going to put music on. If you look before the game, both changing rooms have loud music but only one team can win.”
Pochettino described City as the best team in Europe on current form and it seemed to chime with the vibe that has built around them after 16 wins and one draw in 17 league games this season that he was asked whether he thought they could last the campaign without defeat. He intends to show they cannot get through the weekend with their record intact.
The challenge for Pochettino and Tottenham http://www.authenticnikefalconshop.com/jake-matthews-jersey-for-sale-c-31.html is to dent City’s aura – and it is http://www.authenticnuggetstore.com/Dikembe_Mutombo_Jersey one to which he sees a particular parallel. “We felt the same http://www.official76ershop.com/authentic-9-dario-saric-jersey.html last season in our final season at White Hart Lane,” Pochettino said; his team Authentic Latavius Murray Jersey won 17 and drew two of their 19 league fixtures there. “One of our players said recently: ‘Wow. I remember how we always started Darryl Morris Authentic Jersey 1-0 up at White Hart Lane last season because something special was happening.’ For our opponents, it was tough to play against us.”
Pochettino did not make light of Tottenham’s task at the Etihad but he radiated confidence. Was it not Ryan Hewitt Youth jersey Tottenham who ended Chelsea’s run of 13 straight league victories last season with a 2-0 win over them? “I don’t think we face any psychological issues,” Pochettino said. “It’s more about us showing our quality.

Dominic Solanke has claimed he was “very unlucky” not to register his first Liverpool goal against West Bromwich Albion despite admitting the disallowed effort did strike his arm.

The young striker’s 82nd-minute celebrations were cut short against Alan Pardew’s team when the referee Paul Tierney and assistant Constantine Hatzidakis penalised a handball offence. Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, said he was unsure Solanke had used both his chest and arm to convert Joe Gomez’s cross after watching several replays.

“It was another moment where we had no luck,” said Klopp, who maintains Everton were wrongly awarded a late penalty in the Merseyside derby on Sunday.
Solanke, however, confirmed: “It went on to my chest, I tried to chest it in and it has clipped my arm. The referee disallowed it but it’s very unlucky. I thought he had given it. I was celebrating. I don’t know what changed his mind but he did. I thought I’d won it. It’s not nice when you are celebrating and it gets disallowed.”
Despite the frustration Jack Eichel Womens Jersey of another home draw and the wait for his first Liverpool goal, Solanke says he has been encouraged by his contribution and the feedback from http://www.footballgiantsofficial.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_ROGER_LEWIS_JERSEY.html Klopp since arriving from Chelsea in the summer. The 20-year-old made his first Premier League start at Anfield in the Merseyside derby and has made 14 appearances for Klopp’s side so far, vindicating his decision to leave Stamford Bridge in search of more regular first-team football.
Solanke said: “The manager has made me feel welcome, he has showed a lot of faith in me and played me in some important games. He always gives me feedback and tells me if he thinks I should be doing something better, which you want from a manager. He does it game by game. If I’m playing and he sees things I can do better http://www.footballeaglesofficial.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_RASUL_DOUGLAS_JERSEY.html or I’m doing well he will always tell me. It is criticism and praise, it helps me a lot.
“I’m happy Jussi Jokinen Womens Jersey here. It’s a great club, a great team and we’ve been doing well. We have to keep on trying to win games. At Liverpool there are a lot of http://www.authenticwashingtonnationalsshop.com/Joe-Blanton-Jersey young players, it’s a young squad and the manager has a lot of faith in the young players so it’s a good place to be.”
Liverpool are unbeaten in 11 matches going into the game at Bournemouth on Sunday but, after scoring 12 goals in two games before the derby, have seen momentum stalled by successive home draws against Everton and West Brom. Klopp has rotated more than any other Premier League manager this season in an attempt to protect his players’ fitness and avoid a repeat of last winter’s slump. His goalkeeper, Loris Karius, maintains rotation has not affected Liverpool’s rhythm.
“If you look at the starting XI [against West Bromwich] that is pretty much a starting XI that has played together before,” the German keeper said. “It is not John Jerry Womens Jersey as if there are six new, young players coming in – we are all professionals and have played a bunch of games so there is no excuse. The manager picks the strongest team http://www.shopcanadahockeyjersey.com/authentic+shea+weber+jersey.html and the fittest one and I think it was a strong team.
“We have dropped points but we still believe in our ability. We did when we played well and we do when we drop points. It is a long season and there are so many games and so many points to get so I feel other teams will drop points. We saw it with Buddy Hield Youth jersey Tottenham recently and the only team flying completely is [Manchester] City. I am still confident in us. We just have to focus on the next one and get the points there.”
Karius made only his second start of the league season on Wednesday, with Simon Mignolet nursing a swollen ankle. Despite enduring a troubled afternoon at Bournemouth last season, the 24-year-old is hopeful of retaining his place against Eddie Howe’s team after impressing at Anfield. Mignolet, however, expects to return to the side on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur clawed their way back in to the top four with an unspectacular but uncompromising display against a typically dogged Brighton & Hove Albion. The visitors gave their all and were in turn given full respect by their hosts, but a wonderful fluke from Serge Aurier and a Son Heung-min header late in the second half http://www.officialcoyotesonline.com/Mikkel_Boedker_Jersey ultimately left them coming up short.

Chris Hughton’s best-laid plans went awry thanks to a cross that went under the bar; Aurier’s looping ball from the touchline evading http://www.houstontexans.us.com/WOMENS-DEANDRE-HOPKINS-JERSEY.html the fingertips of Matt Ryan in http://www.officialcavaliershop.com/authentic-81-jose-calderon-jersey.html the Jared Goff Womens Jersey 40th minute. It was the game’s decisive moment. Up until that point Brighton had largely kept Spurs at arm’s length. But they had expended a lot of energy trying and, in the end, a 2-0 scoreline felt about right.

“Yes of course, a bit of luck helps a lot,” Pochettino said after the match. “You know that when the opposition is so close and so deep and want to play only to defend it is not easy. I think the team created a lot of chances and deserved to score before, Nick Leddy Jersey but that is football. I am so happy, very pleased for the victory and then the performance.”
Pochettino insisted he was not criticising his opponents. “I am not going to complain about how another team plays,” he said. “I need to think about Scott Laughton Jersey how to help my players, how to help them to make the right space.”
It appeared, however, that he had altered his approach to try to crack the Brighton nut. In the first half set-pieces were rarely taken directly, and were instead pushed to the edge Authentic New Orleans Saints Jersey of the box for shots or shorter, faster crosses. In possession, too, there were more crosses and more shots, an apparently determined attempt to force deflections which might knock the Brighton defence momentarily out of shape.
When it came to the opening goal, nothing could be done because it was not deliberate. It sprang out of a moment of wonderful skill, Aurier fooling José Izquierdo with a feint before driving his cross up over Ryan and into the far post. Son’s second came in the closing moments of the match, a stooping header at the near post from Christian Eriksen’s free-kick. Harry Kane hit the post with his own dead ball just minutes before that but had Tomer Hemed done better with a close‑range effort in the 70th minute, itself the result of a deflection, the game might have panned out very differently.
Chris Hughton’s team now have just two points from the past six matches but they still find themselves in 13th position with home games against Burnley and Watford next.
“We’re a newly promoted team and we went through a really good period,” Hughton said. “Now, results-wise, we’re in a difficult period.
“What we have to accept is that this is going to happen in a season and what defines you is how you come through it. Hopefully we’ve seen enough positives tonight to take forward.”
For Spurs, the positives were the energy of Erik Lamela, who lasted 74 minutes on his first start http://www.falconsauthenticofficialstore.com/tevin-coleman-jersey_c-476.html since last year, and the physical determination with which they went about their task.
They will need all that and more on Saturday when they travel to the Etihad Stadium to face the record-breaking Manchester City, but Pochettino was in typically blithe mood when asked about the challenge (although notably less so when asked how Dele Alli had felt about being left on the bench for this match).
