WHAT NEXT FOR CRISTIANO RONALDO?
After missing Portugal's clash with Sweden last week to recharge his batteries on holiday in Saudi Arabia, the Al-Nassr star has returned to the national team setup and will be in action for Roberto Martinez's side on Tuesday against Slovenia.
West Ham United have been told to appoint an "unbelievable" manager to replace the under-fire David Moyes.
David Moyes facing 2024 exit
It's been quite the year for Hammers supporters, who watched their side win a first major trophy since the 1980s in May. Indeed, West Ham clinched a dramatic Europa Conference League title, courtesy of a last-gasp strike from winger Jarrod Bowen who was later rewarded with a new contract. Their form in cup competitions has been noteworthy under Moyes, and are now gearing up for an EFL Cup quarter-final clash against Liverpool at Anfield in December.
However, West Ham's league form has severely dipped. The east Londoners have lost their last three Premier League matches and are sliding down the table as a result. Moyes hasn't watched his side win a league match since their 2-0 victory over Sheffield United in September, resulting in speculation over the Scotsman's future.

His contract is also set to expire at the end of this season as things stand, and it's been reported this week that Moyes is "unlikely" to stay beyond 2024. Speaking to the Football Daily podcast last week, former West Ham midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker has admitted he's worried for Moyes after what has been a tough time for him lately.
"I’m concerned – and I like David Moyes and want him to do well, but you look at how close he came to getting the sack last season," said Reo-Coker.
"They then won the Europa Conference League, did some great recruitment in the summer and started well but the West Ham faithful are a hard bunch to please and losing to Everton and Olympiakos are big blows. As much as I want Moyes to do well, managers can be their own worst enemy."
Darren Bent moots Graham Potter for West Ham job
Speaking on talkSPORT this week, former Spurs striker Darren Bent urged Graham Potter for the West Ham job and believes he'd be perfect to succeed Moyes when he leaves.
Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
“It would be interesting to see what type of manager they do want because I think Potter would be a great fit,” said Bent.
“With the players they’ve got, he would be an absolutely unbelievable fit.”
Potter was most recently sacked by Chelsea near the back end of last season, but did manage to secure some record-breaking league finishes with Brighton in his previous job. The Englishman is currently a free agent and readily available for hire, and if he isn't picked up before next year, you can see why Bent believes he'd be a great candidate.
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana even said Potter is of the same "ilk" as both Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino.
“I'm sure Graham wouldn't want me comparing him with Jurgen Klopp or [Mauricio] Pochettino but he's of that ilk, the way he wants to play," said Lallana on Potter.
"Some of the tweaks he makes, he thinks about the game differently – differently to how I think about it but in such a great way."
Arsenal will be delighted to have snuck away from Stamford Bridge with their unbeaten Premier League record still intact, after a disappointing afternoon as they drew 2-2 with Chelsea.
"First half from us the worst we've played this season in terms of sloppiness," Declan Rice would echo, whose impressive long-range effort kickstarted the comeback from two goals down.
It was a match that was always going to be decided through blunders, as for all the positivity of the home side, their quality seldom told. However, with the Gunners, whilst few can question their quality, they cannot afford for so many of their key players to go missing all at once.
It very nearly cost them the match, had Robert Sanchez's gaffe not handed the 24-year-old the opportunity to half the deficit.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta.
Overran by the energy of the Blues, and terrorised down the flanks by the raw pace of Raheem Sterling, Mauricio Pochettino deserves praise for how he set his team up, and how it negated the strengths of their visitors.
However, his job was made far easier by the performance of Jorginho, who once again struggled to compete with the physicality of such an all-action and impassioned affair.
How did Jorginho play vs Chelsea?
As a midfield conductor who thrives with time and space to pick passes, placing Conor Gallagher beside him marked a nightmare for the Italian.
Often lambasted for a lack of pace or urgency, he was harassed by the former Crystal Palace loanee, who made it so the 31-year-old could not calm proceedings down and establish the control Mikel Arteta craved. So often do his team seize possession and cease to release it, tiring out their opposition with combinations in the engine room.
That was an avenue they could not explore, with Jorginho's failures a key component in those struggles.
Although the statistics might paint the picture of a dominant display, given he recorded a 91% pass accuracy and enjoyed 77 touches, that could not have been further from the truth.
The eight times he lost possession is perhaps more reflective of the torrid afternoon he endured, which journalist Simon Collings sought to detail in his post-match ratings. Writing for The Evening Standard, he gave the 48-cap dud a 4/10 rating before penning: "A poor performance from the Italian as he returned to his old club. Could not give Arsenal the control they wanted as Conor Gallagher hassled him non-stop."
This was a notion further supported by news aggregator Connor Humm, who took to Twitter to lambast the £110k-per-week flop: "Jorginho running in treacle again. He’s so slow at recovering. Get Partey on for crying out loud."
The 6.35 rating handed to him by WhoScored was a fair reflection of a tough return to the Bridge for the former Blues and Napoli metronome, who must surely see his starting spot under threat now with the options Arteta has at his disposal.
Who could replace Jorginho?
There are many options that the Spaniard could seek to explore in an effort to remove the sluggish presence from his midfield. After all, he has already proven himself as an innovative coach, and one who seeks to offer revolutionary progress to rival Pep Guardiola's.
Arsenal midfielder Jorginho
As such, there is every chance that Oleksandr Zinchenko could be moved there permanently, allowing the in-form and perhaps more orthodox Takehiro Tomiyasu to take up his full-back spot.
Then again, there are a whole host of actual midfielders in Kai Havertz, Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe, all of whom would love to be handed that spot beside Rice.
However, the outstanding option, and one which Benn actually referenced earlier, must be to finally recall Thomas Partey and reintegrate him back into the first XI.
Having started the season in stuttering fashion, as he desperately sought to return to fitness, it seems that the Ghanaian general is now ready for action, but remains on the bench. A short cameo in their win over the Citizens marked his return, whilst he was an unused substitute both against Chelsea and in their loss to RC Lens in the Champions League.
His absence is a confusing one, given he can provide that same controlling presence that Jorginho supposedly offers, with far more physicality. After all, he surely proved that to everyone with his performances during last season's title push.
How good is Thomas Partey?
"He is still important to them, for sure," claimed pundit Lee Hendrie told Soccer Special on Sky Sports (03/10/23 at 7:40 pm) earlier this month. "He is a big player, no doubt about that. The two Rice and Partey can play in that middle. You give that freedom and luxury, more so, to Odegaard to really join in and be a massive threat (further forward).
“Yes, having him back amongst the squad. The availability, he is definitely a starter in my side for Arsenal.”
It seems he is well aware of the foundation his partnership with Rice could build for the Gunners, who would surely use that added stability to reach even loftier heights.
After all, last campaign saw the 30-year-old shine as the key defensive anchor in midfield, allowing Granit Xhaka and Martin Odegaard to push on and contribute offensively.
As such, he would maintain 2.1 tackles and 1.2 clearances per game, winning an impressive total of 59% of his duels in the league as he featured 33 times, via Sofascore.
And then, as if to emphasise his technical assets, when compared to other midfielders across Europe, Partey sits in the top 5% for passes attempted, the top 11% for pass completion, and the top 3% for progressive passes per 90, via FBref.
Against Chelsea, Jorginho struggled because of the pace of his opposite men, and his lack of. Were the former Atletico Madrid monster selected in his place, there would have been far less emphasis on that issue, as his strength and speed would have helped him thrive.

The £200k-per-week titan is the perfect defensive midfielder for this side, able to play football as well as get stuck in. It should therefore come as no surprise that Arteta suggested he was a "super important player" over the summer.
Perhaps now is the perfect time to match his actions with his words, and regain that control over the midfield by ditching Jorginho for Partey.

Is Andre Russell the most valuable T20 player in the world? He has the stats (and the Smart Stats) to back such a claim, and on Monday he added to his vast body of work with a brief and brutal assault that transformed the mood of what had until then been an edgy battle for first-innings points.Russell came in with Kolkata Knight Riders 113 for 4 in the 14th over. He departed 22 balls later, having added 61 to his team’s total in the company of the impressive Nitish Rana. He only faced 12 balls, but he hit six of them for six.Knight Riders finished with exactly 200. This was a difficult target against Knight Riders’ spin attack, on a pitch offering a good amount of turn. Delhi Daredevils needed a strong start; they ended up slipping to 24 for 3. It was all uphill from there, and Daredevils didn’t have the legs for the climb, with none of their batsmen getting into double figures apart from Rishabh Pant and Glenn Maxwell, who threatened briefly to make this a contest with a 62-run stand for the fourth wicket in 33 balls.Daredevils were bowled out for 129, with 5.4 overs still to play.Uthappa and Rana make up for misfiring Narine and LynnChris Lynn likes pace, but doesn’t score as quickly against spin. Sunil Narine likes spin, but isn’t too fond of fast, short bowling (16 off 20 balls against this type of bowling last season, and four dismissals). It’s a hard opening pair to plan against, and Daredevils, having chosen to bowl, went all pace at the start. It worked: Trent Boult started the game with the first maiden of the season, to an off-colour Lynn who struggled for timing, and then sent back Narine with a well-directed bouncer.After that early dose of pace, it was all spin from overs 6-10, presumably in an effort to keep Lynn quiet. Daredevils managed that, as Lynn ended the 10th over batting on 28 off 25, but the batsmen at the other end compensated, with Robin Uthappa and Nitish Rana hitting five sixes between them in that phase. Knight Riders ended the first half of their innings at 85 for 2.Russell ruins Shami’s nightIt remained like that for a while: runs coming quickly at one end but not quite at the other. Mohammed Shami, varying his pace constantly, went for only 11 in his first two overs, the 11th and 13th of Knight Riders’ innings, and sent back Lynn with a well-disguised knuckleball. Vijay Shankar and Chris Morris, meanwhile. went for 12 and 15 against Rana and Dinesh Karthik in the 12th and 14th overs.Neither team could really say it was significantly in front at the start of the 15th over, which began with Russell batting on 0 off 0. Twenty-two came off that over, with Russell ramping, lofting and muscling Shami for three massive sixes. In between, he miscued one, only for Jason Roy to drop him, diving forward after running in from long-on.Rana was the dominant partner in the next over, pulling Morris for six and then holding his shape to carve a slower one over point for four, before Russell versus Shami resumed. Three more sixes came off this over, off three very different deliveries – a wide, full slower ball; a length ball; a bouncer – and 20 runs in all.It took a perfectly directed yorker from Boult to send back Russell in the 18th over. Then Rana played a couple of outrageous shots himself – a middle-stump yorker from Boult squeezed past short third man, a scything square-drive off Morris that made deep point redundant – before falling for 59 off 34 in the penultimate over. With Knight Riders’ batting might almost extinguished, Rahul Tewatia took three wickets and only conceded one run off the last over, but the damage had been done.Early wickets seal the dealRoy came into this match fresh off a match-winning, unbeaten 91 in a chase of not dissimilar magnitude against Mumbai Indians. There would be no repeat here. Piyush Chawla bowled the first over, no doubt because of Roy’s dodgy T20 record against legspin, and had him stumped down the leg side when he spotted him charging out of his crease too early. That was Roy’s 12th dismissal to legspin in 27 innings – in that time he has scored 190 runs against them at a strike rate of roughly 126.Russell’s pace and bounce did for Shreyas Iyer, who fended a rising delivery to slip, and when Gautam Gambhir chopped on against Shivam Mavi, Daredevils had lost a wicket in each of their first three overs.With no option but to keep playing their shots, Pant and Maxwell kept the game alive for a little longer, but with such a large chunk of Daredevils’ resources already depleted, it was a matter of time before Knight Riders would reassert their dominance. Both fell to Kuldeep Yadav; Pant smashed him straight to deep midwicket in the ninth over, and Maxwell, having just struck successive sixes off him in the 11th, holed out attempting a third in a row. Morris and Shankar, the last two recognised batsmen, fell in the space of three stump-to-stump balls from Sunil Narine, enabling him to pick up his 100th and 101st IPL wickets.
Não foi das partidas mais inspiradas tanto de Avaí como do CSA. Com isso, no confronto dessa terça-feira (13), ninguém se sobrepôs ao oponente em partida que acabou com a igualdade em 1 a 1 construída dentro dos primeiros 45 minutos. O marcador deixou o Leão da Ressacada com 23 unidades na quinta posição e o Azulão do Mutange em nono tendo 20 pontos conquistados.
SOLUÇÃO AÉREA
Sem ter conseguido levar perigo mais latente ao gol defendido por Lucas Frigeri apesar de ser a equipe com mais tempo a bola nos pés, o CSA conseguiu, pelo alto, inaugurar o marcador na capital catarinense. Aos nove minutos, o zagueiro Luciano Castán ganhou da marcação e testou forte o suficiente para, mesmo com Frigeri chegando na bola, não defendendo com força suficiente para evitar o tento dos visitantes.
SOLUÇÃO AÉREA – PARTE 2
Enquanto os donos da casa demonstravam dificuldade em conseguir organizar suas jogadas ofensivas com o adendo de que dava espaços consideráveis para o CSA trabalhar nos contra-ataques perigosamente, o jogo parecia mais sob o controle dos visitantes.
Todavia, se na bola pelo chão estava difícil passar pela zaga algoana, com 39 minutos de partida Iury deu um bonito cruzamento vindo do lado direito e o atacante Getúlio, quase na linha de fundo e depois do desvio na primeira trave, deu um peixinho para testar a bola no canto contrário de Matheus Mendes que olhou a bola tocar na trave esquerda antes de entrar.
INVERSÃO
Apesar de seguir com menos tempo tendo a bola nos pés, o segundo tempo mostrou uma equipe Azzurra tendo mais capacidade de traduzir o período que tinha a bola nos pés em finalizações. Algo que, se ainda não era o ideal pelo pequeno aproveitamento em relação a bolas que iam efetivamente no gol de Matheus Mendes, ao menos faziam com que o volume de jogo do CSA diminuísse consideravelmente, deixando a partida mais perto do gol dos visitantes do que o contrário.
Com o time da casa em dificuldades para acertar o alvo e os visitantes mais preocupados em proteger sua retaguarda do que conseguindo sair em contra-ataques ameaçadores, a partida seguiu em ritmo mais morno do que na primeira etapa até o apito final.

Cricket is a funny game, they say, and some of that funniness was on show at the Plunket Shield, New Zealand’s first-class competition. Here’s what happened: two bowlers took a hat-trick almost at the same time, each in his own little corner of New Zealand. If that weren’t coincidental enough, these two players – Wellington’s Logan van Beek and Auckland’s Matt McEwan – both claimed their hat-tricks across two overs, they both previously played for Canterbury, and, erm, they both went to the same school (Christchurch’s St Andrew’s College).According to a New Zealand Cricket (NZC) release, this was the first time in the Plunket Shield’s 112-year history that two hat-tricks were taken on the same day of the competition. Van Beek was the first to complete his set (the 40th Plunket Shield hat-trick), in the fourth and sixth overs as his old team Canterbury capitulated in their second innings down south in Christchurch.Getty Images
Within the hour, McEwan’s strikes followed (the 41st Plunket Shield hat-trick), carving up Northern Districts’ middle order in the 26th and 28th overs of their first innings up north in Auckland. (A video of the two hat-tricks, courtesy NZC, is here.)And all this in the first round of Plunket Shield games after a two-month break to fit in the limited-overs competitions. First-class cricket, back with a bang?
Manchester United are still in the market to sign another midfielder despite their Premier League campaign kicking off tomorrow, and now a fresh update has emerged on a potential target.
What's the latest Man United transfer news?
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are plotting a move for Everton midfielder Amadou Onana.
As per the report, the Red Devils are assessing an approach for Onana as an alternative for top target Sofyan Amrabat, due to Juventus preparing to challenge the club for the signing of the Moroccan midfielder.
Read the latest Man United transfer news HERE…
It is noted that a move for Onana will depend on Everton's valuation of the player.
How good is Amadou Onana?
There is no doubt that Erik ten Hag will be keen to get business wrapped up as soon as possible, with Man United playing their Premier League opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.
It is no secret that the Dutch coach has his sights set on snapping up the services of Amrabat, however, should that not be an option it will be important to identify alternatives who possess the profile, experience and quality to match what Ten Hag needs in the role.
As a result, the signing of Onana would be a great piece of business as he not only boasts Premier League and Champions League experience but would be a worthy alternative to the Fiorentina ace.
Despite being in a difficult relegation scrap last season, Onana was a stand-out performer at Goodison Park offering consistency and quality in the centre of the pitch throughout the campaign, something he displayed again in Everton's opening clash with Fulham on Saturday.
amadou-onana-premier-league-man-united-transfers
Over his 90-minute performance, the 21-year-old was the highest-rated outfield player on the pitch (7.7), as per SofaScore – delivering three key passes and creating two big chances, as well as tallying up an 87% pass completion rate, winning three duels and completing 100% of his long balls during a display that encompassed the all-round package he provides.
Not only that, Onana – who has a reported £55m price tag – ranked in the top 6% of his positional peers in the Premier League last season per 90 minutes played for tackles in the middle third, percentage of dribblers tackled, passes blocked and aerial duels won, demonstrating his strengths in the defensive attributes needed in his role.
The Belgium international has earned high praise over his short career so far, with ex-Belgium coach Roberto Martinez waxing lyrical about Onana's qualities after selecting him for the 2022 World Cup squad:
"Another unique profile. Someone with such physical presence and dynamism is needed, just think of Fellaini in 2018. He is also a leader on the field who has made strides in his career. From Germany, to France and now the Premier League… He deserves this selection."
With that being said, if Man United could seal a deal for Onana this summer there is no doubt he possesses the perfect profile to fit the role that Ten Hag is keen to fill, and in doing so, could take his career to the next level by being a key influence in the midfield at Old Trafford for years to come.
No dia em que completa 10 anos, a virada dramática do Internacional sobre o Chivas Guadalajara (MEX) por 3 a 2, que garantiu ao Colorado o bicampeonato da Libertadores de 2010, é a atração do terceiro episódio da série “Todo Resultado É Possível”, da Betfair.net. O feito foi analisado pelos embaixadores Mauro Cezar Pereira e Chico Garcia.
O time, que era comandado por Celso Roth, viveu uma noite memorável, protagonizada pelos predestinados Rafael Sóbis, Leandro Damião e Giuliano, autores dos gols da equipe brasileira, no Beira Rio, em Porto Alegre (RS).

Depois de um triunfo por 2 a 1 no duelo de ida, o Internacional mostrou ansiedade e viu a equipe mexicana abrir o placar, aos 42 minutos do primeiro tempo, com um gol incrível do meia Fabián, que calou o estádio.
– No instante em que Fabián mandou um voleio na área colorada, o torcedor que viu a bola entrando no canto direito de Renan lembrou dos fantasmas do passado. Como nas semifinais da Libertadores de 1989, quando o Internacional recebeu o Olimpia após vencer no Paraguai por 1 a 0. Perdeu por 3 a 2 e caiu nos pênaltis – lembrou Mauro Cezar.
– Na final de 2010, a rede balançar e os jogadores do Chivas comemorem formaram um cenário de tensão. Eram 42 minutos do primeiro tempo e o time mexicano devolvia a derrota sofrida em Guadalajara por 2 a 1. Era preciso reagir. E foi o que aconteceu, com os tentos de Rafael Sóbis, Leandro Damião e Giuliano – completou o embaixador da Betfair.net.
Sóbis, que havia sido herói na conquista da Libertadores de 2006 e retornou ao clube em 2010, vivia uma fase ruim, sem ter marcado nenhum gol até aquela final, e só começou o jogo como titular devido a uma lesão de Alecsandro. Aos 16 minutos da segunda etapa, ele decretou o empate.
– O Inter estava muito confiante. O estádio inteiro se preparava para uma partida protocolar, mas o gol dos mexicanos logo no primeiro tempo deu um susto na torcida. A apreensão era inevitável, até o ídolo Rafael Sóbis ser decisivo na sua segunda final de Libertadores – afirmou Chico Garcia.
– O gol do atacante abriu o caminho para a virada e, como aquele resultado servia para o Inter, até hoje é considerado o gol do título. E foi mesmo. Eu estava lá e tive a certeza que a partir dali o Inter seria campeão – destacou o embaixador.
Aquele resultado bastaria, mas o adversário ainda estava vivo. O atacante Leandro Damião, que era um garoto de 21 anos, substituiu Rafael Sóbis, esgotado. O jovem arrancou por 51 metros e disparou contra o goleiro Michel para concretizar a virada, naquela que seria sua primeira partida no torneio, marcando pela primeira vez com a camisa colorada.
Aos 44, o talismã Giuliano driblou a defesa adversária e deixou a vitória ainda mais encaminhada. O Chivas descontaria nos acréscimos, com Araujo, mas nada impediria a festa colorada.
Expectativas para a Libertadores 2020
Na liderança do Grupo E ao lado do rival Grêmio, com uma vitória e um empate, o Internacional volta a jogar na competição continental no dia 16 de setembro, contra o America de Cáli (COL), no Beira Rio, com grandes expectativas.
– O Inter começou muito bem na Libertadores e há muita expectativa pelo trabalho do argentino Eduardo Coudet, campeão argentino pelo Racing e de ótima passagem pelo Rosario Central. O esquema de jogo de muita movimentação tem no sistema ofensivo sua maior qualidade, com Thiago Galhardo, Marcos Guilherme e Paolo Guerrero. Além deles, a aposta está na mais recente contratação: o jovem Yuri Alberto, vindo das categorias de base do Santos. O bicampeão da América promete incomodar e mostrar uma alma Argentina durante o torneio – comentou Chico.
A série “Todo Resultado É Possível” fará os fãs recordarem oito momentos memoráveis da competição, em que o futebol quebrou prognósticos e mostrou por que é o esporte mais popular do mundo.
A atração da estreia foi o título do Flamengo em 2019, com uma vitória incrível nos minutos finais sobre o River Plate por 2 a 1, em Lima. Em seguida, os embaixadores recordaram o fim da “maldição” das oitavas do Grêmio na Libertadores, com o triunfo sobre o Godoy Cruz (ARG), em 2017.
