🤕 | The news we were all dreading… After scoring ‘that goal’ to make Emirates FA Cup history for Chadderton FC against FC United of Manchester 🟥⬜⬛, we are gutted to say Matty Crothers season has come to a devastating end. Scan results have confirmed an ACL injury was sustained in the following game against West Didsbury & Chorlton. 😔 Matty requires surgery, the Chaddy Family are of course supporting him with the cost of this, the time off work, support his family etc & we are asking the wider football community if you can as well. See the link below, anything you can contribute is greatly appreciated. 🤝 Link: #UpTheChad 🔴⚪️

🚨🎙️Cristiano Ronaldo: Am 41 I will give my very best for this team the dream is to win the World Cup with this team with Roberto Martinez 🗣️ I will give everything for Portugal until the very last second of this World Cup. The draw against DR Congo was not the result we wanted, but challenges have always made us stronger. We take the lesson, we move forward, and we come back even stronger. This team is united, hungry, and stronger than ever. I know there are people who doubt me and people who dislike me. That has never changed my mentality. Throughout my career, I have faced criticism, pressure, and expectations, and I have always responded the same way: by working, believing, and winning. I have won before, and I will keep fighting to win again. For my teammates, for our fans, and for Portugal.

ENZO MARESCA’S PRE-CONFERENCE TODAY AHEAD OF THE TRIP TO LINCOLN. Enzo Maresca on Cole Palmer🔵 Cole is probably is the only one that we need to assess a little bit. The rest are okay, just to recover from the last week. He did already a huge effort to try to play the game. He wants to be there to help his teammates in that kind of game. It's more day by day, week by week, game by game, to see how he is. Enzo Maresca on the game against Manchester United🔵 The game is dictated from the red card. When it was 10v10, we had almost 70% possession. I hope we don't have any more games with 10 players after 3-4 minutes. Enzo Maresca🔵 Anyone can say what they decide to say, it's not a problem. I think we improved a lot last season. We closed the gap. This season, the main target, is to continue to improve the players and team, and close the gap. Enzo Maresca on Benoit Badiashile and Romeo Lavia🔵 They are not back for this game, unfortunately. They both took part of the session yesterday. Hopefully they can be available soon. Enzo Maresca🔵 In this moment, Dario and Romeo is injured, so we cannot give Moises Caicedo a rest. I don't think it's random the amount of injuries we have alluding to the Club World Cup. Enzo Maresca🔵 You can sleep very easy in these kind of games. Football is full of these games. I am very worried about that. For sure, we will have some players from the academy, like we have always done.

Interview with Ran Takahashi after the USA match: -It was a wonderful match in which both teams showed all their strength. Looking back on the match, what are your impressions? Ran:Personally, I feel above all that I wasn't up to par. That's the aspect I regret the most. I think there were several moments where I could have done better, and even in the final tie-break, we weren't able to win the decisive points. That's why I think today's match shows we still have room for improvement. At the same time, it made me realize how much stronger we can still become. Tomorrow, however, we face the third-place match, so I want to move on and focus on that. Naturally, we'll analyze today's match carefully, trying to turn what we learned into our strengths. -Against the United States, one of the key aspects was being able to withstand the power of their serve. How do you evaluate this aspect? Ran: There were moments when we managed to hold on, but especially in the first and fourth sets, we often found ourselves chasing our opponents and couldn't hold on until the end. Even the last point came with an ace. That's where our inexperience showed. We need to keep practicing to turn this into a strength.

🚨🎥 Full post-match interview with Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire after the 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town! 🔴🔥 • Reaction after the disappointing opening game! • Regaining control and showing courage in the second half! • Bruno’s third hat-trick at Old Trafford! 🎩 🎙️ Interviewer: “Congratulations on the win. It looks like a very big victory and your first of the season. How are you feeling?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “It was definitely a very important and big win for us. We knew we had dropped three points last week, so the aim was to get the three points and put in a great performance for our fans at home in our first game here for a long time. We can’t make up for last week because you can’t get six points from one game, but we wanted to start the game on the front foot and with intensity. We controlled the game even when we conceded, and in the second half we were really excellent.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “The game felt like a real statement of the team’s strength. Harry, what did the team do particularly well?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “I think we started the game really well, but their goal unsettled us a lot. Last week’s defeat was difficult, and when you lose at this club, there’s a lot of noise and it feels like you’re in a crisis again after just one game! After conceding, we lost control for five to ten minutes, but we spoke at half-time, came out and took control again. We know we’re capable of scoring at any moment, and we showed that today. We could have scored even more goals.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Bruno, how important was your equaliser right before half-time in maintaining that belief?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Scoring before half-time is always important, whether it’s to take the lead or to equalise, because it gives you the belief that what you were doing wasn’t completely wrong. As Harry said, we were controlling the game and lost control for five to ten minutes after the goal, but we got back on track. In the second half, after making a few adjustments, we were really excellent.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Harry, you were involved in the second goal, and there was some debate over whether it was your goal or a handball. What do you think happened?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “To be honest, I haven’t watched the replay, so I can’t comment accurately. I know it was a close call, and it certainly wasn’t an intentional handball. I don’t know if the ball actually hit my fingers. My shot was slightly off target, so I think it will unfortunately be given as an own goal! Maybe that’s why it was awarded, because if it had been my goal, they would have ruled it out under the current rules. Luckily, luck was on our side today, and we deserved the win and deserved that bit of fortune.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Bruno, this is your third hat-trick in a Manchester United shirt. How amazing does it feel?” 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Scoring goals is definitely the best feeling in football, and scoring a hat-trick at Old Trafford in front of our fans is incredible. I’m very proud of it. But the most important thing is always to score to help the team win. I did that today, and hopefully I can score more and help my teammates score as well.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “How important is a result like this as a response to what happened on the opening day?” 🗣️ Harry Maguire: “It’s a very important win. Last week was frustrating; we had prepared throughout pre-season to win against Hull City, but unfortunately we conceded two goals from set pieces and lost. We knew how important today’s game was in front of our fans after being away from Old Trafford for such a long time, and luckily we got the three points. In the end, it’s three points and we move forward. The season is long, and we’ll focus on the next game.” 🎙️ Interviewer: “Harry, would you like to present the award? Bruno is the Player of the Match.” 🗣️ Harry Maguire (jokingly handing over the award): “Another award!” 🏆😅 🗣️ Bruno Fernandes: “Thank you very much, mate.” 🤝❤️

‼️🚨🔵 PRESSER 🔵🚨‼️ 🎙 Liam Rosenior’s Full Post-Arsenal Press Conference 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the game plan ⚙️ “We’ve had a lot to contend with in the last couple of days — a couple of fitness tests this morning. Our schedule has been incredible, so for the players to put in that energy, fight and spirit was pleasing. We got into the final third, but we didn’t have enough quality moments and didn’t take advantage.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on James & Neto 🚑 “Pedro and Reece both had small knocks and were in too much pain to be involved tonight.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Estevão & Cole Palmer 🧠❤️ “For Estevão to go through what he has at 18 years old says everything about the character I want in this team. With Cole, we have to take care of him and make sure he’s right for the whole season.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the defeat 😔 “I’m extremely disappointed every time we lose. There were aspects of the game I was happy with, but you could see how devastated the lads were — we genuinely believed we could turn it around. There were moments there for us. I’m hurting, but we have to move on.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on how the game unfolded 🔄 “You can come away from home, press high and go 2–0 down. I brought Cole and Estevão on around 60 minutes and the game opened up. There was a feeling in the stadium that the tie could turn, but it didn’t happen. Their goal ultimately comes when we were throwing the kitchen sink at it.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on injuries affecting the setup 🧩 “The availability of your players always affects the system. Against West Ham we ran until the 97th minute trying to come back from 2–0 down, then the emotions from Napoli — all of that has to be taken into account.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on pundit criticism 🎙️ “I’ve been a pundit — it’s easy in hindsight. If I go and attack the game and press really high, people will ask what I’m doing.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on reacting to setbacks 🔥 “Losing is not what we wanted. We’ve played eight games in less than a month since I came in. The learning, spirit, togetherness and fight are there. Now I need to see what we look like after a setback. We’ve got a difficult game at Wolves and we’ll learn more about ourselves.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on the overall performance 👏 “We can’t talk about how well the game plan went because the result didn’t go our way. But not many teams come here and put in the performance we did tonight.” #CFC | #Chelsea | #CarabaoCup | #Interviews 📲 CFC_ChelseaFC via Telegram 🎥 Beanyman sports via YouTube

Finally, Ed Davey calls for the UK to join the EU Single Market 👏 "We meet at an extraordinary moment. Vladimir Putin is still waging war on our continent. Donald Trump's chaos in the Middle East goes on. And our government, our own government is paralysed by infighting, waiting for Makerfield to release them from their agony." "And yet, despite all that, standing with you here today, I feel hope. And not just about England's chances against Croatia tonight, but hope about our country's future." "Not hope because the path ahead is easy. It isn't. Not hope because everything will magically get better. It won't." "But hope because finally, after ten long, difficult years, I believe we can move on. We can finally fix the Brexit damage, end the Brexit chaos and get our country back on track." "Because the story the media won't tell you, as they fawn over the rise of Farage, as they hang on his every empty press conference, is that the country is with us. We hear it on the doorsteps, we see it in the polls, we feel it in our communities." "People are fed up. They've had enough. Enough of the chaos in government, the queues at ports, the queues at airports, the bills that just keep on going up." "They know the hard truth that most politicians won't admit. The Brexit experiment has failed. And it's failed all of us." "£90 billion a year. That's how much it's costing us all as taxpayers" "£90 billion every year, gone" "That's £250 million every single day. Taken away from our schools, our hospitals, our armed forces. Taken out of everyone's pockets in the form of unfair tax rises." "Not because of a pandemic, not because of a war, not because of some force of nature out of our control, but because of their Brexit experiment. Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the rest. An experiment that has now consumed a decade of British politics. That has tangled British businesses up in pointless red tape, that has pushed up prices for British families and that has left us all poorer." "Well, not all of us, apparently. Farage says that the five million he got from a crypto billionaire was his reward for Brexit. So when he said 'We'll be better off after Brexit,' it turns out he was using the royal we." "But friends, it's not only the economic and financial impact, as disastrous as those have been. It's the way they have poisoned our relationship with our nearest neighbours and friends, making it harder to work together on all the things we need to. Energy security and climate change, migration and refugees, AI, and above all, defence." "Britain has always been at its best when we stand tall with our European allies, not when we shut ourselves off. Now they promised us global Britain, but they have left us isolated at the worst possible time. Poorer, weaker and more insecure." "Their experiment has failed. We all know it. So it's time to move on." "But what do they say? The ones who caused all this. The people responsible. Farage and the Conservative Party. They say 'Tough.' They say you can't move on. They say you can't question Britain's relationship with Europe now. You can't dare to suggest there might be a better way. Doesn't matter how bad it gets, doesn't matter how much you're struggling. You just have to live with it, they say." "We say 'No.' We say Britain shouldn't have to live with a bad deal they've lumped us with. We say our country deserves far better than that." "Theirs is old thinking. It's 2016 thinking. The world has changed dramatically since then. It's time for us to change too. It's time for us to move on, move forward." "Just look around. Vladimir Putin is bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine, murdering innocent civilians. He's testing NATO's resolve and setting his sights on the rest of Eastern Europe. He has shown that territorial conquest is not some relic of the distant past. It is happening now on European soil to our friends and our allies who share our values and our way of life." "And Donald Trump, he's torching the world economy for fun with his tariffs and his trade wars and now his actual war with Iran. He's ripping up the rules-based international order that generations of British leaders, American leaders, European leaders, painstakingly built after the Second World War. Trump threatening NATO, emboldening Putin and actively meddling in our democracies." "And then there's China, increasingly using trade supply chains and strategic dependencies as instruments of geopolitical competition." "And to add to all those political changes, there's the billionaire tech barons taking more and more control of our lives and our jobs with their empires of AI and social media, that no one nation can govern on its own." "The assumptions we have lived by for decades, that global trade would keep expanding, that international rules would broadly be respected, that our security would be underwritten by stable alliances. Those assumptions no longer hold. The world has changed more rapidly than at any time since the end of the Cold War. And our politics must change too." "Now we obviously can't turn to those who wrecked it. Farage and the Conservatives. They only want to make things worse. Even now, pushing for Brexit 2.0 with their plans to rip up the European Convention on Human Rights. They would just rerun all the old arguments, forcing Britain to replay the last ten years over and over in a never ending Brexit doom loop." "But nor, I'm afraid, can we look to Labour. Labour who failed to act with anything like the urgency this moment demands. Who don't seem to grasp the scale of the change we need in our relationship with Europe. Labour, who still kept us hemmed in the red lines they set more than five years ago. No single market, no customs union. Red lines they set before Putin invaded Ukraine, before Trump returned to the White House. Red lines that were wrong then and are even more wrong now." "The world has changed and it's time to move on. We cannot be trapped by that old thinking anymore. We have to look to the future. Not back to 2016 but to 2036 and beyond." "And that's why we're all here today, isn't it? Not because we are bitter about the past, but because we believe in a better future. Because we love our country and we know its brightest days still lie ahead." "We're here for our children and our grandchildren because we want them to inherit a country that is growing, that is confident, that is leading, not one that is shrinking, stagnating and standing alone." "That's what drives us. We're here because the world has changed, because the challenges we face to our economy, to our society and to our national defence are real and urgent. And because we believe Britain deserves ambition that matches the scale of this moment." "So what does that ambition look like? Well, first the government needs to drop those old red lines that stop us getting rid of the Conservatives' red tape. Those red lines are holding Britain back. They're hurting the British people and they are playing into the hands of Farage and Reform." "So my message to Andy Burnham, to Wes Streeting, to whoever the next Prime Minister may be, is drop those red lines. Drop them now." "If we do, we can move on from the torpor and timidity that has marked out Labour's approach to Europe so far. We can put an end to the endless talk of a reset that so far seems to just mean saying no more politely than the Conservatives did. And we can get on with properly fixing our relationship with Europe, for our economy, for our security, for our future." "Our party has led that debate for years. Last year, days before Trump took office, we set out plans for the UK to join a new customs union with the EU. And today I want to build on that and go further, much further." "Today we are calling for a new growth and defence partnership with the European Union. A new growth and defence partnership with the European Union. A bold new deal that will make Britain richer, safer and stronger, including a customs union, but also crucially taking Britain back into the single market." "Tearing down the barriers to trade. Ending the mountains of paperwork, the cost, the delays, the queues. Giving our young people the chance to study and work, live and love anywhere in the EU. Undoing the damage of the Johnson Farage Brexit deal that has held our economy back for so long." "Giving British businesses the certainty they need to invest, to hire and to grow. Giving Britain's economy the boost it needs after years of stagnation. Crucially, giving Britain's public finances a growth dividend. Tens of billions of pounds that we would use to cut the cost of living, to fix the NHS and to strengthen our armed forces." "And this new partnership must go beyond trade and growth. In the age of Putin, Xi and Trump, this must be about defence and security too. No country can be prosperous and free if it is not safe." "And Britain can help lead on defence in Europe as we have so decisively in the past. Despite the Conservatives' short-sighted cuts to our armed forces and Labour's chaos over investing in them now, Britain is still one of Europe's foremost military powers. We are a leading intelligence nation, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the third-biggest contributor to NATO." "We should be using those strengths. We should be at the table, helping to shape Europe's security future, not watching from the sidelines. And Europe wants us at the table. They know they need our leadership on defence." "So let's seize the initiative from a position of strength to form a new partnership that strengthens both Britain's economy and our collective security. That is why our new partnership would be about defence as much as it is about growth." "That means financial cooperation through a new European rearmament bank, alongside securing UK access to the one hundred and fifty billion euro safe programme. It means joint defence procurement, creating jobs in Britain while strengthening our collective capabilities. It means deeper cooperation on intelligence, on cyber security and on protecting critical infrastructure." "It means working together on energy security so that none of us can be held hostage by an authoritarian regime turning off the gas. It means political cooperation through a new European Security Council with a permanent seat for the UK, ensuring that Europe can shoulder greater responsibility for its own security within NATO." "As Trump's actions remind us every day, that we cannot afford to rely so much on the United States. Friends, this is not a choice we can afford to dodge any longer. In the face of Putin's threats and Trump's unpredictability, a new defence pact with Europe, with allies on whom we can depend, allies who share our interests and our values, is frankly the only way to keep Britain safe and defend our values in a dangerous world." "A new defence pact with Europe is not a choice, it is a necessity. So let's get on with it." "That is the ambition we need when it comes to our relationship with Europe. No more tinkering around the edges of a bad deal. No more shackling ourselves to the arguments of the last ten years, but building something new. A partnership fit for the enormous challenges we face today." "A new growth and defence partnership with a new pact for our collective security. Forming a customs union, joining the single market. A new partnership to make us richer, safer and stronger." "I think it's the best hope our country has to stop the chaos and end the crisis. And, my friends, it is the biggest step we could take now back towards membership of the EU." "And there's another big step we need to take too. Defeating Nigel Farage and Reform. We have to stop them from turning our United Kingdom into their version of Trump's America." "And here's the point. Until we do defeat them, many in Europe will not countenance Britain joining." "Let's remember why this matters, why it's so crucial for Britain to be there at the heart of Europe, at the table with our nearest neighbours." "I've been privileged to see it for myself, the power we have when Britain leads in Europe. When Vladimir Putin invaded Crimea in 2014, we recognised then that the way to defeat him would be to get Europe off its dependence on Russian oil and gas, to take away the money that was funding his aggression, to bankrupt the Russian war machine." "So I led Britain's efforts to bring Europe together behind that common cause, and we succeeded. We wrote Europe's energy security strategy. Britain did that, sitting at the table, leading in Europe." "But then, instead of seeing it through, the Conservatives walked away. They gave up Britain's seat at the table. They locked us out of those discussions at the worst possible time." "Just imagine where we could be now if Britain had continued to lead on energy security. Imagine how much weaker Putin would be now. Imagine how much safer Ukraine and the rest of Europe, including Britain, would be now. What a terrible waste. What an indictment of the Conservatives." "And that is why I am so determined to get us back at the table, back at the heart of Europe. Britain leading again." "Now I want to speak for a moment about the bigger picture. Because our ambition is not limited to Europe alone. It's about Britain's place in the world." "The old assumption that trade, security and prosperity could be treated as separate issues no longer holds. Supply chains can be disrupted. Energy can be weaponised. Economic security and national security are now inseparable." "At a time when authoritarian powers are doing so much to undermine our security, democratic nations must work more closely together to enhance it. As Mark Carney said in Davos, middle powers must act together, because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu. He is right." "Fixing our relationship with Europe is the essential foundation, but it's not the ceiling. The UK can be an incredible force for good when it stands tall on the world stage. Our history, our alliances and our relationships across every continent gives us a unique position for us to act as a bridge, not just between Europe and the US but between Europe and the whole wider democratic world." "We are here because we believe that our country and our people thrive when we are open and outward looking. That is Britain at its best. Not a small inward looking island clinging to the wreckage of a failed experiment, but a leader, a convening power, a country that helps shape the international order rather than being buffeted by it." "That is the Britain we can be." "But friends, I want to be honest with you about the task ahead. What we are proposing is bold. It is ambitious. It requires courage, requires leadership. And it will not happen without all of us." "We know the obstacles we face, the arguments ahead, the opponents who would rather replay the last ten years instead of moving on from them. Who will tell us we can't even talk about a new deal with Europe, let alone make one. The politicians who will claim change isn't possible because the status quo works for them. But it doesn't work for anyone else." "So our job is to get out there and show people that change is possible, that it doesn't have to be like this, that there is a way forward. A better future for our country. Leading in Europe once again." "This isn't just because we believe in Europe. It's not just about friendship or shared history, or the fact that a divided Europe has always ended in misery. Fixing it is about us, our country, our future, our hopes and our dreams." "Britain needs a new plan. A plan for growth, for jobs, for defence. A plan to give our children the better future they deserve. A new deal with Europe. The only way to fix the cost of living crisis. The only way to get our country back on track." "So let us stand together. Let us end the chaos. Let us show the world what Britain can be. Not a small island clinging to a failed experiment, but a leader, open, outward looking. At the table, not on the menu." "A Britain that is richer, safer and stronger. That is the future we are fighting for." " Thank you. Thank you very much."

Finally, Ed Davey calls for the UK to join the EU Single Market 👏 "We meet at an extraordinary moment. Vladimir Putin is still waging war on our continent. Donald Trump's chaos in the Middle East goes on. And our government, our own government is paralysed by infighting, waiting for Makerfield to release them from their agony." "And yet, despite all that, standing with you here today, I feel hope. And not just about England's chances against Croatia tonight, but hope about our country's future." "Not hope because the path ahead is easy. It isn't. Not hope because everything will magically get better. It won't." "But hope because finally, after ten long, difficult years, I believe we can move on. We can finally fix the Brexit damage, end the Brexit chaos and get our country back on track." "Because the story the media won't tell you, as they fawn over the rise of Farage, as they hang on his every empty press conference, is that the country is with us. We hear it on the doorsteps, we see it in the polls, we feel it in our communities." "People are fed up. They've had enough. Enough of the chaos in government, the queues at ports, the queues at airports, the bills that just keep on going up." "They know the hard truth that most politicians won't admit. The Brexit experiment has failed. And it's failed all of us." "£90 billion a year. That's how much it's costing us all as taxpayers" "£90 billion every year, gone" "That's £250 million every single day. Taken away from our schools, our hospitals, our armed forces. Taken out of everyone's pockets in the form of unfair tax rises." "Not because of a pandemic, not because of a war, not because of some force of nature out of our control, but because of their Brexit experiment. Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and the rest. An experiment that has now consumed a decade of British politics. That has tangled British businesses up in pointless red tape, that has pushed up prices for British families and that has left us all poorer." "Well, not all of us, apparently. Farage says that the five million he got from a crypto billionaire was his reward for Brexit. So when he said 'We'll be better off after Brexit,' it turns out he was using the royal we." "But friends, it's not only the economic and financial impact, as disastrous as those have been. It's the way they have poisoned our relationship with our nearest neighbours and friends, making it harder to work together on all the things we need to. Energy security and climate change, migration and refugees, AI, and above all, defence." "Britain has always been at its best when we stand tall with our European allies, not when we shut ourselves off. Now they promised us global Britain, but they have left us isolated at the worst possible time. Poorer, weaker and more insecure." "Their experiment has failed. We all know it. So it's time to move on." "But what do they say? The ones who caused all this. The people responsible. Farage and the Conservative Party. They say 'Tough.' They say you can't move on. They say you can't question Britain's relationship with Europe now. You can't dare to suggest there might be a better way. Doesn't matter how bad it gets, doesn't matter how much you're struggling.

#BRI vs #AFC - How transitions could be key to a big away win! A big game today and its our third tough away game of the season already. Happy to get these out of the way early. Started with hard fought wins vs Villa and Sunderland and I can't see Brighton being any easier. Arsenal Defensively - Brighton's aggressive positioning (Image 1) Brighton set up in an aggressive 2-3-5 with both fullbacks tucking into the midfield line joining the pivot midfielder (Ayari or Chema). The aim is overload the backline with 5 technically capable attacking players. This will force us into a different shape with Rice probably dropping deeper to pick up Kostoulas or a central attacker. Odegaard will inturn have to drop to occupy the space Rice vacates (Image 1). Saka and Tzolis will have important tucking duties with Boscagli and Kadioglu respectively. The best way we can prevent this is by making it as cramped as possible for Brighton centrally whilst remaining confident in defending 1v1/2v2 in wider areas. Brighton's attack is fluid and very technically capable. Blindside runs are a danger. Yalcouye has proved extremely dangerous. He will be facing Konsa today and I feel the Englishman's recovery pace will prove strong against Malian. Gross is also an excellent "ghost" runner. A key tactical point: Yalcouye - The Danger Man A simple thing Brighton do is leave a man in between the double pivot of opposition teams and then look to find that man through a blindside run with a third-man combination. It can be lethal. Yalcouye has proved dangerous consistently (Image 2). It leaves a devastating dilemma for 4 players: Konsa, Gabriel, Rice and Bruno. That too, Kostoulas and Gross are important to create lanes to receive before playing the third-man (Yalcouye) Their central zones and long range shooting is another particularly dangerous aspect as they have scored 3/13 goals from zone 14 (PL). 18/80 shots (PL). Raya may have a busy day from long range shots too. Note: From deep build up they aim to draw the press out before "creating their own transitions" (what I like to refer to it as) as they rapidly increase the tempo with line-breaking passes, quick combinations and blindside movement. They are brilliant to watch. They are an incredibly direct team and look to find the most efficient way forward. So strong and so dangerous. Our midfield and backline have to remain very aware. The Transition Possibilities - Brighton's Counter-Press (Video 1) Brighton's aggressive positioning does not stop when they lose possession. Their immediate reaction is to counter-press, with Hurzeler implementing what he describes as a "5 second counter-pressing principle". The aim is simple. Swarm the area around the turnover, prevent the opposition from escaping and regain possession as high as possible. We saw a perfect example in the build-up to their second goal against United in the League Cup. A sequence of pressing actions concluded with Vuskovic aggressively following Sesko high up the pitch, while Gross remained advanced to create an overload around the ball if United attempted to play backwards or possession turned over. Included within Video 1 When Brighton get this right, it is extremely effective. Their aggressive starting positions mean they already have numbers around the ball and can immediately suffocate the opposition after losing possession. But that aggression comes with a major risk. Beating the First Press and Balls In-Behind - Where We Can Hurt Them (Video 2) If we can play through or around that initial press, enormous spaces can appear behind it. Vuskovic regularly commits extremely high, while Brighton's midfielders and fullbacks are often positioned ahead of the ball. That can leave Dunk as the deepest defender and force Brighton into open-field defensive situations they are far less comfortable dealing with. This is where players such as Raya, Bruno G and Odegaard could be crucial. One clean pass through the first wave can immediately turn a Brighton attack into an Arsenal transition, with Havertz, Saka, Calafiori and Tzolis providing the main outlets. The objective should be to turn these moments into 3v3s or 3v4s as quickly as possible, before Brighton have time to recover their structure. There is a particular opportunity down our left side. Although Vuskovic is an incredibly talented box defender and excellent on the ball, defending the channels and dealing with quick dribblers in open space are not his strongest traits. He is also the CB who steps forward far more aggressively than Dunk. That makes Tzolis vs Dunk one of the transition match-ups I expect to see most frequently. Calafiori also may find himself in these positions. Saka on the opposite flank too. I'd also expect the sprayed long balls from Raya to continue: - 5/9 long balls vs Coventry - 5/14 long balls vs Villa - 6/19 long balls vs Chelsea - 9/20 long balls vs Sunderland 62/118 (53%) attempted passes this season have been long balls (PL). Further, supporting data suggests the entire Brighton back line lacks recovery speed and is not comfortable defending large spaces. Their top speeds this season: - Dunk — 31.1 km/h - Vuskovic — 30.6 km/h - Kadioglu — 33.8 km/h - Boscagli — 31.3 km/h That is an extremely slow back line to leave exposed. Chelsea's third goal against Brighton is a perfect example. Vuskovic follows Rogers forward and, once the counter-press is beaten, Hato and Weiffer suddenly find themselves in a foot race towards Brighton's goal. Dunk is left isolated and forced to defend two options; Hato or Pedro. Pedro eventually receives and finishes the move. Included within Video 2 An Alternative That Is Unlikely But Could Genuinely Work - Viktor Gyokeres The transition moments I've described above are almost tailor-made for a profile like Viktor Gyokeres. These are exactly the situations he thrived in throughout his time at Sporting, and we saw similar qualities against Atletico in last season's UCL SF. If he can attack the space behind Brighton's press and isolate himself against slower defenders such as Vuskovic and Dunk, this could be a far more favourable game for him than his other two starts this season. His power, direct running and ability to carry the ball over distance could make him particularly dangerous if Arsenal are able to break Brighton's first line of pressure. There are obvious downsides: - Less stability in our hold-up play. - We are still likely to dominate possession for long periods, meaning many of the same issues he has faced in settled attacks would remain. It would therefore be more of a situational option than an obvious starting choice, but the specific spaces Brighton concede make his profile especially interesting for this game. Summary This is more of an alternative tactical angle I noticed while watching Brighton this season. We will likely dominate possession, but I wanted to analyse a less obvious way we could create chances and score through what seems to be Brighton's biggest weakness this season. Attacking Shape - Expect The Same Simply put, I'd expect us to remain in our 3-1-6/3-2-5 base shape with similar positional fluidity. Expect a similar attacking set-up due to the lack of changes expected within the line-up. To summarise this analysis: Brighton are devastating when pressing high up the pitch, but the large spaces they leave in behind offer an alternative route for us to hurt them. It is certainly something to keep a close eye on when the opportunity presents itself. I've worked all morning on this so a retweet would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoyed my analysis! 4-2 Arsenal Win. High scoring game. Video 1: Counter-Pressing Moments Video 2: Transition Weakness Moments

🗣️ Mikel Arteta has to make changes for Crystal Palace. 🔄 “December is the month where players get injured more than ever. If there’s one thing Mikel Arteta struggles with. It's rotation and Arsenal are paying the price for it right now. “Benjamin White playing three games in a row straight off a long-term injury. That's pretty unnecessary. Gabriel playing a friendly when he reportedly wasn't 100%, that was questionable as well. “Situation with Benjamin White, he's now out, Gabriel out, soon to return. Saliba not fully fit, even Mikel said that himself. He had to rush him back. That was a risk, which breeds more injuries. It's a vicious cycle. “Hincapie had an injury the other day against Everton, where Calafiori sort of like went into him and he even had to have like a look like a like a deep heat or something on on him like a bit of pain relief. “So he's probably not even look hundred percent. No one seemed to pull that up at the end of the match, but he didn't look like he was moving that comfortably. He did complete the 90 minutes. Of course, Mosquera. Another one who's not available. I feel like at the moment with Arsenal there's one position just gets absolutely pummeled. So at the moment, it's the defence. At the start of the season, it was all the strikers. So now we're packed up front, we're ruined in defence. So there's not many options. “I read an article the other day where it said, December is the month where players they get injured more than ever because there's so many games, the load is so high, it's just it's just too much. “I mean, even Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United, the most durable player in football pretty much, and he got injured from a hamstring the other night. It just goes to show what this period's like for the players. “So I think Mikel has a duty to look after the players, they just had a week off. It's the first week they've had off in since like international break and it's not going to change until February, so it's not going to stop. “Mikel has a duty to look after these players and make sure this doesn't derail our season. Arsenal haven't won the Carabao Cup since 1993, before I was even born. I've never seen us win it. I've always wanted us to win it, but I'm not going to get upset if we don't win it. I think Mikel's under a lot of pressure this season to bring home silverware but if it's not the Premier League or Champions League, it's going to be the same result. “I think this match is a match for rotation. I think it's a match for Noni Maduweke, Ethan Wainieri. Marli Salmon, even Josh Nichols at right-back. Timber needs a rest. Saliba probably needs a rest. Hincapie may need a rest, given the extent of his injury. I think the players are on the limit at the moment. “I think we're very close to being beyond the limit for Arsenal. We're in a very good position, thanks to Mikel and the players and the staff, everything right now. But let's not ruin that over a Carabao Cup. “We need to win a trophy, but a Carabao Cup isn't going to relieve the pressure on Mikel Arteta, I'm afraid. It's just not. You know what's coming if he wins it. Oh, he's not won the Champions League. He's not won the Premier League. Doesn't matter. “Obviously, it would be delightful to win. a trophy, like even when he won the FA Cup, he has won a trophy for Arsenal, major trophy, but that was a long time ago, and this season's the season in my opinion. “He needs to prioritise what matters for him. Here's a starting 11 I'd go with. Got Josh Nichols in there, Marli Salmon. I know Josh and that have been actually training with the first team ahead of this match, so. I wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of him in the squad. “You never know, he might start. Knowing Arteta though, he probably won't start, but I'd like to see him start. What's your opinion on it? Should Arteta rotate massively?“

Ingvar Kamprad was the perfect example of founder mode. Until his final years, he regularly toured IKEA stores around the world. Here's what a typical visit could look like (which could easily last 12 hours): 5:45 am → Arrives before opening → Crawls into the container or trailer to inspect how well it's loaded → Makes sure the drivers get a cup of coffee → Reviews warehouse ergonomics and working conditions, safety first! 7:00 am → Checks the entrance: is it welcoming? → Do customers get a personal greeting from a human? → Signage must be clear, one strong message → Can every customer absorb it at a glance? → Are prices visible? "A product without a price is always wrong at IKEA" 9:00 am → Deep dive into the showrooms (he could stay 3–4 hours here) → Imagines walking through with his wife, Margaretha → Sees a product: can you grab it right there and then? Add-on sales matter! → Offers feedback on visual merchandising → Obsesses over price points → "Is it cheap enough?" 1:00 pm → Heads to the food court: "You can't shop on an empty stomach" → Is the kitchen ready? Can we keep the hot dogs flowing? → Is there a microwave for heating baby food? → Bar seating, regular, or round tables, what works best? → And crucially: how many sprinkle flavors on the ice cream? (Correct answer: one!) 4:00-6:00 pm → Talks to customers at the exit → "What stupidities did we do?" → Asks staff: "What problems do you have?" → Checks the bistro by the checkout: those €0.50 hot dogs should be flying out with super efficiency Here's an example of how notes from his memos could look after a store visit: "I saw at least 15 of them showcased in prime selling spots. Christmas trees. I have nothing against Christmas trees, but why the hell aren't we selling them! Where are our business instincts? Several trees were even decorated with items we do sell, without prices. There was also no lighting placed near the trees. I think everyone responsible has reason to be ashamed!" It might seem like Kamprad was too caught up in the nitty-gritty, but he explained it like this: "I've never been particularly interested in things that run smoothly, I simply thank the people behind them for doing a great job. It doesn't capture my attention, because it works. But when I realize something could be improved, a wave of inexplicable worry washes over me. Is the concept at risk? Are we veering off track?"

This weekend sees the last ever episode of Football Focus broadcast on the BBC. One of my colleagues sent me this earlier this week. A montage of some of the stuff we did on the show and it brought back so many lovely memories ❤️ I can tell you exact spot where I was standing on the old runway at Turnberry golf club when I got the call to see if I wanted to become the presenter of Football Focus. I was covering The Open in 2009 and it was one of the best conversations I have ever had. For a kid who had grown up watching the show every week with my dad it was an amazing privilege to know that I would be hosting a programme which had always been such a big part of my weekend. I called my dad immediately and he was just as pleased as I was. When the news was announced I had a phone call from the one and only Bob Wilson. He was so warm and encouraging, as he always is, and said “Dan, you are gonna love this job. There is nothing like it… make sure you take care of it”. I hope I did. As a former custodian of the couch, Bob knew how special it was and I felt the same way when I handed over the reins to the brilliant Alex Scott when I left Focus after 12 seasons. People still talk to me about the show all the time. Focus is stitched into my life and I know there are still so many fans who really care about it which is why it’s such a crazy decision to get rid of it. Move it to Saturday morning, tinker with the format but, in a world where there is such a premium on reliable and trusted brands, why would you throw away over 50 years of hard work and history? It carries weight. I remember interviewing Pele years ago and I told him I was from Football Focus and he said “I know all about Football Focus” with a big smile. When we were filming a show about the history of Barcelona at the Nou Camp we were about to sit down to talk to Eusebio and Johan Cryuff (I had to pinch myself about that one) and Sir Bobby Charlton walked over and said to them, “You can tell this is important gentlemen… the team from Football Focus are here”. When I called Noel Gallagher to talk about an idea we had to get him to interview Mario Ballotelli at Manchester City he rearranged his world tour to be there. Obviously Balotelli was a draw but Noel said “I’d do anything for Football Focus”. When I interviewed Jurgen Klopp in the tearoom at Exeter City before an FA cup tie the lovely ladies serving brews were wedged into the corner while we spoke. I introduced them to Mr Klopp afterwards and he apologised for stealing their space; “Don’t worry about that” they said. “We’ve just been on Football Focus! Wait until we tell the family about this!”. I know the game has changed and the way we consume it has changed but there is still an audience there if you find the right place for it, promote it, ‘take care of it’ and give fans the chance to be part of the conversation on an informed, thoughtful and entertaining show about the sport we all love. I am gutted it’s going but also so thankful for all the amazing people I got to work with over the years. They remain life-long friends and I still can’t quite believe I got to sit alongside the people I grew up watching play the game at the highest level. I remember when Alan Shearer called me “Dan” on one of the first shows I worked on. The little kid inside me thought “Alan Shearer knows my name!”. It was a pleasure to work with so many brilliant pundits and it was great to watch Alex develop on Focus and then go on to host the programme so well. I was asked this week to pick a favourite moment from my 12 years on the show. It’s a very hard question because I have a huge catalogue of wonderful memories. I always look back on our on-the-road shows because we were taking Focus out to the fans; their club was the canvas and we got to paint a beautiful picture together each week about what the place meant to the community, the history, the culture and all the things that were part of that.

Every season, it seems like we have to say goodbye to a big name. This year… well it looks to be at least 3 big losses - John Stones, Nathan Benjamin Aké and Bernardo Mota Veiga de Carvalho e Silva. Wow, what an insane amount this trio has done for the club. All starters in the treble season and they’ve won the lot. Let’s start with Nathan Ake, he came from Bournemouth in 2020 for a fee of £40.4m - I mean at the time that seemed a lot for a back up centre back. He was steady, he was comfortable with the ball, solid at the back, some top blocks and some great last ditch tackles. But in 22/23 he was played at left back… and what on earth did he become? An absolute monster. ELITE 1v1 against any right winger. Unbelievable positioning and reading of the game. Even at times, getting forwards and he chipped in with some important goals. The best left back in the league that season. Whenever called upon, between his injury-stricken City career, he’s been fantastic. Most recently in the Cup final against Arsenal where many thought he’d be a weak link… he was absolutely absurd. Wherever he goes… we wish him the best of luck. John Stones, well… if injury hadn’t been the main factor in his career, he’d not only have a statue alongside Vincent Kompany, he’d have one outside Wembley. The general, the most tactical defender the game has ever seen. Whilst over his decade at City, he’s grown as a player and ironed out mistakes and just become an absolute Rolls Royce of a footballer, we can only speak about the treble season. The ONE season Johnny Stones managed to stay fit we won it all. Moving into the midfield and just bossing the park in every metric. Same number of dribbles completed in a Champions League final as Lionel fricking Messi? Unreal. General John Stones, definitely a fan favourite and we will be GUTTED to see him go. Thanks for everything Johnny. Finally Bernardo, Pep’s little favourite, the one everyone picks on, now finally the senior figure, the captain, the DREAM for a Pep team… he’s the epitome of a utility player being able to do absolutely everything on a pitch with endless running and an undeterred passion for the club. He is a true City legend. A decade at the Blues, also a decade of thinking he’s leaving in the coming summer. Well this year it’s finally confirmed… Bernie will leave the Blues being the face, alongside Kevin De Bruyne, of Manchester City under Pep Guardiola. The way his game has evolved is unbelievable. Once the tricky little attacker we signed from Monaco ten years ago, now dropping between the centre backs and a tenacious little midfielder tirelessly fighting for the team all over the pitch. His availability sees him become the only player in the modern era to be in City’s top 10 for appearances made for the club. He had everything on the pitch, and for City he was a fantastic little shithouse. But off the pitch he’s always had our hearts. Serious and passionate yet funny and joyful… Bernardo, it hurts to see you go. Thank you for everything. Seeing all these players leave us will be a pain in the hearts of all Blues, three fantastic servants to the club. Always welcome back to the Etihad, back home, back to the club where they won it all, we will welcome them back with loving arms. Bernardo Silva Nathan Aké Christine Murumba Once a Blue, always a Blue 💙

‼️🚨🔵 PRESSER 🔵🚨‼️ 🎙 Liam Rosenior’s Full Pre-Arsenal Press Conference 🌀 Liam Rosenior on squad rotation & not having a “best XI” ⚙️ “I can’t speak for other managers in terms of myself. I don’t have a best XI. I never have done in all of the clubs that I’ve worked with. Why? Because of the demands — the physical demands of the Premier League, Ligue 1 or the Championship now with 46 games. You need a squad, and you need to use the players in the correct way to challenge over the course of the season. I’ve been here three and a half weeks, I’m still getting to know the players. I try to pick the right starting team, but I also try to pick a bench that gives us the right finishing team. So far, the substitutes in every game have made a huge impact. That’s not just tactical — a big part of that is mentality.” 🧠💪 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Estevão ❤️ “He is going through a really difficult time for personal reasons. I won’t put any pressure on him when he returns. It has to be right for him.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on facing Arsenal ⚔️ “The reality is Arsenal are favourites. They’re a goal up and they’re at home, so they’ll expect to go through. We need to take it as far and as deep as we can, then hopefully the second half of the tie will be massive in terms of turning it around.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Jamie Gittens’ injury 🚑 “Jamie unfortunately felt his hamstring. I don’t yet know the extent of the injury. It’s a real shame because I wanted to give him a start and allow him to show what he can do. Hopefully it’s not too bad.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Chelsea’s mentality in big games 🔥 “They can play in big games and they can perform in big games — and it is definitely a big game on Tuesday.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on focus & preparation 🧊 “Talking about what Arsenal or Mikel Arteta have or haven’t done isn’t my concern. My concern is resting and recovering. It’s another three-game week. It’s going to be a very physical game on Tuesday, and my job is to prepare the team as best I can.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Arsenal’s recent nerves 😌 “We’ll see. We’ll see. We’ll go and play our game.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on experience within his squad 🏆 “When I look at my players — Enzo Fernandez has won a World Cup, and the group won two trophies last year. They can play in big games, they can perform in big games. Tuesday is definitely a big game.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernández 🧠⚡ “He’s fit. You see him arriving in the box in the 92nd, 93rd minute. Enzo has a rare athleticism — a gift — where he recovers very quickly. His distances covered are top from a data point of view, and the quality and leadership he brings to the team is huge. I’m really enjoying working with him.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Mamadou Sarr 🤝 “I don’t speak about players who are at other clubs. It’s something I’ve never done, and I won’t start today.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on pressure & proving himself 🎯 “I’ll be really honest — all this talk about proof of whether I’m right for the job or not, I don’t really care. I’m here to do the job. If we get to the final, it’s great for Chelsea Football Club. It’s not about me. I’ll prove in time whether I’m worthy or not, but it’s not at the forefront of my mind.”

‼️🚨🔵 PRESSER 🔵🚨‼️ 🎙 Liam Rosenior’s Full Pre-Arsenal Press Conference 🌀 Liam Rosenior on squad rotation & not having a “best XI” ⚙️ “I can’t speak for other managers in terms of myself. I don’t have a best XI. I never have done in all of the clubs that I’ve worked with. Why? Because of the demands — the physical demands of the Premier League, Ligue 1 or the Championship now with 46 games. You need a squad, and you need to use the players in the correct way to challenge over the course of the season. I’ve been here three and a half weeks, I’m still getting to know the players. I try to pick the right starting team, but I also try to pick a bench that gives us the right finishing team. So far, the substitutes in every game have made a huge impact. That’s not just tactical — a big part of that is mentality.” 🧠💪 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Estevão ❤️ “He is going through a really difficult time for personal reasons. I won’t put any pressure on him when he returns. It has to be right for him.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on facing Arsenal ⚔️ “The reality is Arsenal are favourites. They’re a goal up and they’re at home, so they’ll expect to go through. We need to take it as far and as deep as we can, then hopefully the second half of the tie will be massive in terms of turning it around.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Jamie Gittens’ injury 🚑 “Jamie unfortunately felt his hamstring. I don’t yet know the extent of the injury. It’s a real shame because I wanted to give him a start and allow him to show what he can do. Hopefully it’s not too bad.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Chelsea’s mentality in big games 🔥 “They can play in big games and they can perform in big games — and it is definitely a big game on Tuesday.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on focus & preparation 🧊 “Talking about what Arsenal or Mikel Arteta have or haven’t done isn’t my concern. My concern is resting and recovering. It’s another three-game week. It’s going to be a very physical game on Tuesday, and my job is to prepare the team as best I can.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Arsenal’s recent nerves 😌 “We’ll see. We’ll see. We’ll go and play our game.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on experience within his squad 🏆 “When I look at my players — Enzo Fernandez has won a World Cup, and the group won two trophies last year. They can play in big games, they can perform in big games. Tuesday is definitely a big game.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Enzo Fernández 🧠⚡ “He’s fit. You see him arriving in the box in the 92nd, 93rd minute. Enzo has a rare athleticism — a gift — where he recovers very quickly. His distances covered are top from a data point of view, and the quality and leadership he brings to the team is huge. I’m really enjoying working with him.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on Mamadou Sarr 🤝 “I don’t speak about players who are at other clubs. It’s something I’ve never done, and I won’t start today.” 🌀 Liam Rosenior on pressure & proving himself 🎯 “I’ll be really honest — all this talk about proof of whether I’m right for the job or not, I don’t really care. I’m here to do the job. If we get to the final, it’s great for Chelsea Football Club. It’s not about me. I’ll prove in time whether I’m worthy or not, but it’s not at the forefront of my mind.”
