Moyes’ best West Ham XI after Deadline Day

West Ham United will be looking to continue their impressive start to the 2021/22 campaign when they return after the international break on Saturday with a trip to Southampton.

The Irons ended the transfer window with a bang by signing two players, taking their total to four new additions – but with the incomings, it hands manager David Moyes a fresh selection headache.

His side are currently unbeaten in the Premier League, where they occupy second place on seven points and are the division’s leading scorers having found the net ten times in three matches.

But what is now Moyes’ best starting line-up following deadline day? Football FanCast take a look into what could be the strongest XI available at the 58-year-old’s disposal…

The Scot has plenty of options to consider, especially tactically as he now has enough depth to consider other formations – for instance, his three-at-the-back formation has been bolstered by the addition of Kurt Zouma from Chelsea.

In what has to be considered quite the coup – landing a Premier League and Champions League winner – the 26-year-old colossus is likely to come straight into the side and should pair Angelo Ogbonna over Craig Dawson or Issa Diop.

They’ll undoubtedly be joined by Aaron Cresswell and Vladimir Coufal on either flank.

But in goal, there’s a big decision to make, having signed PSG’s Alphonse Areola on a loan deal.

It’s surely only a matter of time before the young shot-stopper replaces Lukasz Fabianski, 36, between the sticks.

If Moyes wants to see if he’s the man for the long-term, then he’s going to have to be given a fair crack. The Polish veteran has long been the no.1 favourite, ever since the Manuel Pellegrini days, but considering his age, the club must find a suitable replacement sooner rather than later.

In midfield, deadline day addition Alex Kral is unlikely to feature due to the impressive form and partnership of Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek. His time is likely to come in the Europa League when the group stages get underway in a few weeks time.

However, Nikola Vlasic is likely to come straight into the side after the Irons committed an initial €30m (£26m) plus €9m (£7.5m) in add-ons to sign the former Everton flop, per Sky Sports.

The Croatian playmaker is likely to take up the ‘Jesse Lingard’ role in attacking midfield, with the creative wide man Said Benrahma and the £96k-per-week beast Jarrod Bowen providing the threat from the wings and Michail Antonio in the attack.

He’s started this campaign on fire, bagging four goals and three assists to top the Premier League’s charts.

Moyes’ best XI: Areola; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Zouma, Coufal; Soucek, Rice, Vlasic; Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio.

The West Indians had a rough start to their New Zealand tour, Auckland completely dominating day one of their three-day match at the Eden Park Outer Oval. Riding on captain Richard Jones’ unbeaten 186, Auckland finished the day on a commanding 359 for 2 after electing to bat.The West Indians enjoyed a good beginning after drizzle forced a delayed start, Fidel Edwards dismissing Martin Guptill for 10, edging to slip. But Jones, in partnership with left-handed opener Tim McIntosh, crafted a 223-run stand that deflated the attack. After helping Auckland to 134 for 1 at lunch, Jones moved briskly to his century. McIntosh fell for 78 shortly before tea, taking his tally for the summer to 418 runs at 69.00, but Jones found another able ally in Reece Young, on 56 at stumps. The two have added 125 so far.Jones, who has played one Test and five ODIs for New Zealand, hit 25 fours and three sixes in his 13th first-class century. Playing in his 108th match, the 35-year-old Jones will resume day two just two runs short of equalling his personal best of 188.The West Indians will resume hoping for a better showing from their bowlers. First Test hopefuls Kemar Roach and Sulieman Benn went wicketless, while Edwards was expensive. Fast bowler Lionel Baker, who impressed in a 3-0 ODI loss to Pakistan last month, collected McIntosh’s wicket.They will expect more from their batsmen on a pitch where domestic cricketers have enjoyed batting this season. Last week’s domestic State Championship match between Auckland and Wellington yielded 974 runs for only 12 wickets in a rain-reduced affair.This fixture is the only practice match for the tourists ahead of the first of two Tests against New Zealand, starting in Dunedin next Thursday.

Leeds keen on signing O’Brien in January

Leeds United remain interested in a January move for Huddersfield Town midfielder Lewis O’Brien, according to a fresh rumour which has emerged.

The Lowdown: O’Brien endlessly linked with move

Arguably no player was linked with a move to Elland Road more intensely than O’Brien in the summer, with constant reports suggesting the Whites wanted to sign him.

The 22-year-old ended up staying put at Championship side Huddersfield, but it seems unlikely that he will remain there for long.

[freshpress-quiz id=“359346″]

The Latest: January move to Elland Road?

According to Football Insider, a Thorp Arch source has informed them that Leeds ‘will keep a dialogue open’ regarding a move for O’Brien in January.

A winter move to Elland Road is described as a ‘possibility’, with former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell claiming “around £15million or £20million” could see them get their man.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-16/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Phillips replacement?

O’Brien may still be a work in progress, but he is a formidable performer for Huddersfield, with journalist Steven Chicken calling him ‘blistering’ in the past.

With Kalvin Phillips potentially not sticking around forever at Elland Road, it could be that Marcelo Bielsa views O’Brien as a long-term replacement for the Leeds and England star.

The Huddersfield ace possesses a similar level of energy off the ball and quality on it – he is averaging 1.2 tackles per game in the league this season – and should only improve in the years to come.

In other news, a source has provided a key update on Kalvin Phillip’s Leeds future. Read more here.

Marshall's century sets up Northern Districts win

Northern Districts, Otago and Wellington were the winners in the latest round of State Shield action

Cricinfo staff31-Dec-2008Hamish Marshall’s 113 got Northern Districts home as they chased 254 against Canterbury in Rangiora. Marshall’s 105-ball innings set up the chase and he featured in a 96-run stand with his twin brother James Marshall (51).

Craig Cumming top scored with an unbeaten 70.At the Basin Reserve, BJ Crook’s 75 helped Wellington to a four-wicket win with 11 balls remaining despite Daryl Tuffey’s 4 for 33.

Palmeiras bate o Grêmio, vence a quarta seguida no Brasileiro e é o 3º

MatériaMais Notícias

Com gol contra de Machado, o Palmeiras venceu neste sábado o Grêmio por 1 a 0 e chegou à quarta vitória seguida no Brasileiro. O resultado no Pacaembu, com mais de 30 mil pessoas, ampliou para 31 jogos a sequência sem derrotas do Verdão em casa (23 vitórias e oito empates) – é a atual maior série invicta como mandante no país. Os donos da casa mantiveram o incrível retrospecto de nunca terem perdido para os gaúchos no estádio (12 vitórias e três empares). O Tricolor só venceu os paulistas em São Paulo duas vezes (2006 e 2008), no antigo Palestra Itália.

Como os dois times estão priorizando as oitavas de final da Libertadores, Palmeiras e Grêmio jogaram com equipes bem modificadas. A escalação inicial de Cuca funcionou melhor que a de Renato Gaúcho – o Verdão com o estreante Bruno Henrique, Michel Bastos e Zé Roberto no meio passou a maior parte do primeiro tempo no campo de ataque.

O problema é que poucas chances foram na meta de Léo. Mas o Palmeiras era melhor e teve até um pênalti não marcado pelo árbitro Wagner do Nascimento Magalhães. O camisa 6 foi derrubado por Leonardo dentro da área; o juiz se atrapalhou e marcou uma infração fora da área.

Após passar sem ser vazado a primeira etapa mesmo jogando pior, o Tricolor começou a criar mais perigo depois do intervalo, tanto que Egídio tirou em cima da linha aquele que seria o primeiro gol do Grêmio no jogo.

Borja, um pouco antes disso, havia perdido grande chance, de cabeça. O colombiano jogou os 90 minutos, participou bastante do jogo, mas fez algumas jogadas estabanadas. Cuca tentou dar mais força ataque e colocou Willian, Raphael Veiga e Róger Guedes. O meia foi quem resolveu o jogo – com a ajuda, claro, de dois adversários.

Em uma jogada de linha de fundo, o camisa 20 cruzou para a área, Machado tentou o corte, a bola ainda tocou em Bressan e o goleiro Léo passou pela bola, que entrou mansa.

Apesar de o lance ter sido definido por dois erros dos gaúchos, o placar foi merecido pois o Palmeiras foi o time que criou mais oportunidades, ainda que muitas delas sem direção. O time reserva de Renato Gaúcho encontrou muitos problemas para chegar em Prass.

E assim o Verdão continua subindo na tabela. Com quatro vitórias seguidas no Brasileirão, o time é o terceiro colocado, com 19 pontos – só pode perder a posição para o Flamengo. O Grêmio, com 22, segue na vice-liderança, mas pode ver o Corinthians, líder com 26, disparar no domingo.

Terça, o Tricolor visita o Godoy Cruz, pelas oitavas da Liberta, enquanto que o Verdão vai ao Equador na quarta enfrentar o Barcelona.

سبورت: مهاجم برشلونة المنبوذ مطلوب في فالنسيا

يرغب نادي فالنسيا المنافس في بطولة الدوري الإسباني الحصول على خدمات أحد اللاعبين المنبوذين في صفوف الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة خلال الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

ويسعى برشلونة للتخلص من بعض اللاعبين بعد التعاقد مع 5 صفقات حتى الآن، وهم، بابلو توري، فرانك كيسي، أندرياس كريستنسن، رافينيا وروبرت ليفاندوفسكي، حتى يستطيع تسجيلهم دون الدخول تحت طائلة قانون اللعب المالي النظيف.

وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية أن هناك فرصة أمام برشلونة للتخلص من مهاجم الفريق الأول، مارتن برايثوايت، الذي لن يدخل ضمن خطة المدرب، تشافي هيرنانديز، في الموسم المقبل.

فالنسيا مهتم بضم برايثوايت منذ فترة ولكن تجمدت المفاوضات قبل أن تعود في الساعات الماضية بعد استبعاد الدنماركي من بعثة برشلونة المسافرة إلى أمريكا لاستكمال فترة الإعداد للموسم الجديد.

كان برايثوايت يريد إثبات خطأ وجهة نظر تشافي لكن الإدارة أغلقت في وجهه كافة المحاولات وتريد منه الرحيل سواء إلى الدوري الإنجليزي أو أي فريق آخر لتخفيف كتلة الرواتب.

الجدير بالذكر أن برايثوايت لا يريد العودة مرة أخرى إلى إنجلترا بعد تجربته السابقة مع ميدلسبره قبل سنوات ويريد الاستمرار في الدوري الإسباني لذلك ربما يكون عرض فالنسيا مقنعًا في الفترة المقبلة.

Wolves fan fume over Brentford statistic

Many Wolves fans have been left fuming at a surprising statistic which emerged following the weekend’s defeat to Brentford.

Coming on the back of a 2-0 away win at Watford, their first league win under Bruno Lage, Wolves suffered their fourth defeat in five games on Saturday through first half goals by Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbuemo, handing Brentford their first away win of the season.

Wolves failed to apply any clinical touch to their attack at Molineux on Saturday and now sit 16th in the Premier League table, with Southampton and Newcastle United next up for Lage’s side.

Following the defeat, Twitter account Talking Wolves posted a statistic which has angered many Wanderers fans. Despite the match lasting for more than 99 minutes, the ball was only in play for 50 minutes and 43 seconds, meaning that for almost half of the match it was out of play for either VAR checks or other stoppages.

Brentford’s resilience and apparent time-wasting manoeuvres received stick from numerous Wolves fans, with David Raya once changing his gloves midway through the second half.

Many Wolves fans frustrated with statistic

These Wolves supporters took to Twitter to express their frustrations at the statistic, which one fan described as “shocking”.
