Leeds United fans blast Mateusz Klich after 2-1 defeat to Millwall

Leeds United’s Mateusz Klich has started in all 11 of their Championship matches so far this campaign, but it appears his latest showing has left several supporters fuming.Marcelo Bielsa’s side were defeated 2-1 at Millwall on Saturday afternoon with the result seeing them sink to fifth place in the table.United had to play the majority of the game with ten men after centre-back Gaetano Berardi received his marching orders in the 14th minute.Millwall midfielder Jed Wallace scored the resulting penalty before Tom Bradshaw doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time.Watch Leeds United Live Streams With StreamFootball.tv Below

The Whites were able to grab one back through left-back Ezgjan Alioski’s 46th-minute strike, but they couldn’t find that all-important equaliser despite recording 75.5% possession in the final 30 minutes, per WhoScored.

Several of the Elland Road faithful were left angry at the performance of Klich in the heart of midfield, with some of them taking to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One supporter claimed it was criminal to see the 29-year-old play the full 90 minutes while another called for him to be dropped next game.

‘Shocking,’ ‘horrible’ and ‘appalling’ were just three other words used to describe his display.

Here’s the best of the reaction:

صحيفة جنوب إفريقية: يجب أن يتوسل اتحاد الكرة لـ موسيماني للعودة إلى المنتخب

ترى صحيفة “Independent Online” الجنوب إفريقية أن مدرب الأهلي الحالي، بيتسو موسيماني، يستحق التوسل إليه من قبل اتحاد الكرة في بلدهم من أجل العودة لقيادة منتخب الأولاد.

وأعلن اتحاد جنوب إفريقيا لكرة القدم يوم أمس عن إقالة مدربه، موليفي نتسيكي، من منصبه عقب فشله في قيادة المنتخب الأول للتأهل إلى كأس أمم إفريقيا 2021.

وأكدت الصحيفة أن موسيماني هو الاسم الوحيد القادر على إعادة منتخب جنوب إفريقيا خلال السنوات المقبلة، وطالبت اتحاد الكرة أن يتواضعوا ويتوسلوا لمدرب الأهلي للعودة.

وبررت الصحيفة في تقريرها السبب أن موسيماني كان رحيله عن منتخب جنوب إفريقيا سيئ للغاية بعد فشل التأهل إلى نهائيات كأس أمم إفريقيا 2012.

ولكن تطور موسيماني مع ماميلودي صن داونز بجانب الأهلي خلال السنوات الماضية، وفوزه بأكثر من 10 ألقاب يضعه الاسم الأبرز لقيادة جنوب إفريقيا.

استطاع موسيماني في الأشهر السابقة مع الأهلي الفوز ببطولتي دوري أبطال إفريقيا وكأس مصر بالإضافة إلى برونزية كأس العالم للأندية.

ويقدر موسيماني على السيطرة على اللاعبين، حيث كانت أبرز المشاكل التي يعاني منها منتخب جنوب إفريقيا هي قوتهم التي تتفوق على قوة المدرب.

كان المدرب السابق، موليفي نتسيكي، يستدعي بعض اللاعبين الذين لا يستحقون وعلى رأسهم الحارس، إيتوميلينج خوني، ولكن أنت بحاجة إلى شخص قوي يستطيع تكوين منتخب قوي في جنوب إفريقيا وهو ما يتوفر في موسيماني.

إلى جانب قدرة موسيماني في اكتشاف النجوم، فلولاه لما ظهر لاعبين مثل بيرسي تاو في صن داونز وبعض الأسماء الأخرى، ربما لن يحقق نجاح فوري مع جنوب إفريقيا كما حدث مع الأهلي وصن داونز لكنه يستحق العودة.

مدرب الزمالك السابق: فوجئنا بالتعاقد مع الجزيري وحمدي.. وكارتيرون ضحى من أجل العودة!

أكد مدحت عبد الهادي المدرب العام السابق بفريق نادي الزمالك، أن البرتغالي جايمي باتشيكو نجح في تطوير الفريق في ولايته الثانية، كما نجح في إضافة أساليب لعب مختلفة بجانب الأسلوب الدفاعي.

وقال عبد الهادي في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “النهار” عبر برنامج “أوضة اللبس”: “رغم الخسارة أمام الأهلي كنا الأقرب للفوز ووصلنا للمرمى ونسبة الاستحواذ كانت لصالحنا، خطأ فردي كان سبب في دخول الهدف الأول من قبل الأهلي في مرمانا، وكنا نتمنى المكسب وتحقيق اللقب”.

وتطرق للحديث عن مباراة المولودية الجزائرى في دوري أبطال إفريقيا النسخة الحالية: “لو أعيدت المباراة 100 مرة لم نكن لنتعادل”.

الزمالك: قرار تعيين مدير للكرة في يد كارتيرون.. والسفر للجزائر بطائرة خاصة

وأضاف: “لاعبو الزمالك تعجبوا بعد مشاهدتهم الفرص التي أضاعوها خلال مباراة المولودية، والهجوم على أحمد سيد زيزو خلال الفترة الأخيرة وراء تراجع مستواه”.

وتابع: “رحيل مجلس إدارة الزمالك السابق كان له تأثيرًا كبيرًا على الفريق، الفترة الماضية مرتضى منصور ومجلسه صنعوا طفرة في جميع الألعاب الجماعية، والزمالك فاز ببطولتين في أسبوع، وكان كل هدف اللاعبين هو الماديات وهذا حقهم، وبعد استلام اللجنة المكلفة بإدارة الزمالك وتصريحاتهم بأنه لا يوجد أموال، تأثر اللاعبين”.

وواصل: “مصطفى محمد كان يمكنه أن ينتقل لفريق أفضل إذا لم يتعجل في قرار رحيله عن الزمالك، وجايمي باتشيكو قال إنه لا يمانع في احتراف مصطفى محمد وهذا مستقبله ولكن أريد البديل، وحدد 4 أو 5 أسماء وعلى ما أعتقد مروان حمدي كان آخر اختيار”.

وكشف: “باتشيكو طلب أول اسم حسام حسن والثاني باسم مرسي ومحمود وادي ومهاجم إنبي الإفريقي ومروان حمدي آخر اسم، والإدارة هي من رشحت مروان لباتشيكو، كما أن سيف الجزيري أبلغني بأن مسؤولي الزمالك قالوا له يمكنك أن تلعب في إفريقيا ولقد اندهشت من ذلك”.

وأردف: “نمت واستيقظت فوجدت مروان حمدي وسيف الجزيري في الملعب، ولم نكن على علم بأي شيء سواء أنا أو أشرف قاسم أو عبد الحليم علي عن بدائل مصطفى محمد عكس ما يقال في الإعلام”.

وأتم: “قيل إن كارتيرون هرب قبل مباراة الرجاء! هو لم يهرب، مرتضى منصور جلس معه وطلب منه الاستمرار مع الفريق لمدة شهر وبعد ذلك يرحل بدون دفع الشرط الجزائي وعرض عليه زيادة مالية في عقده”.

وأوضح: “كارتيرون لم يهرب لكن باتشيكو هرب، ولكن الأول ترك الفريق في وقت صعب وجلس مع الإدارة وأبلغهم بالرحيل، وعاد للزمالك مرة أخرى وضحى بعرض قوي لكي يعود”.

واستكمل متحدثًا عن فقدان الجهاز الفني السيطرة على غرفة: “مَن من مسؤولي الزمالك دخلة غرفة خلع الملابس ورأى مشاكل؟، أي لاعب حدث منه خطأ سواء بالمران أو في المباريات يتم توقيع عقوبة عليه وفقًا للائحة، ولو هناك تجاوز زائد يتم استبعاده من المعسكر مرة واثنين”.

واختتم: “أشرف بن شرقي عندما كان يسافر ويتأخر يوم عن الإجازة المحددة له من قبل باتشيكو كان يجلس احتياطي وتطبق عليه عقوبة ونفس الأمر فرجاني ساسي، ومصطفى محمد عندما كان يجلس مع اللجنة المكلفة بإدارة الزمالك كان لا يشارك في التدريبات”.

Celtic fans respond to Odsonne Edouard’s tweet

Lots of Celtic fans have been responding to a tweet from Odsonne Edouard, who appears to be desperate to get back into action for his club.

‘French Eddy’ is fast becoming the ultimate fan favourite at Parkhead. Not only has he racked up six goals and five assists this season in 11 games, he loves a goal against arch-rivals Rangers and his all-round game is improving too.

He has taken his good form into the international break, scoring twice for France’s under-21 side last week, but that isn’t stopping him for yearning for club action, joining in on a club tweet counting down the days until the Hoops are back.

After Celtic tweeted that it is just five days until they take on Hamilton in SPL action, the youngster responded with an emoji implying he too is staring at the clock waiting for the real football to start back up again.

International football can be tiresome for fans, especially Scotland fans, and loads of the Parkhead faithful have rushed to the replies to shower their striker with praise.

Arsenal fans react to Nicolas Pepe’s home debut against Burnley

[ad_pod ]

Having signed Nicolas Pepe in a club-record deal from Lille, it’s fair to say Arsenal landed one of the biggest transfers of the summer.

The Ivory Coast international was electric for the French side last season, scoring 23 goals and providing 12 assists across all competitions.

Pepe made his competitive debut for the Gunners against Newcastle, but made his first appearance in front of the Emirates faithful when he came on at half-time against Burnley.

The 24-year-old showed flashes of brilliance in his time on the pitch, and most memorably nutmegged centre-back Ben Mee with a delicious piece of skill.

After seeing Pepe’s display, Arsenal fans took to Twitter to reveal their verdicts on the big-money signing.

Many hailed the Ivorian’s direct approach and praised his work in taking the game to the opposition with his dribbling prowess.

Others however refused to get carried away by the winger’s home debut, and one pointed to some of his  passing and shooting as things to work on over the course of the season.

Check out some of the reaction of Arsenal fans below:

Crystal Palace duo Luka Milivojevic and Wilfried Zaha involved in interesting exchange

[ad_pod ]

A lot went wrong for Crystal Palace against Sheffield United – where do I even start?

A lack of cohesion from Roy Hodgson’s side saw the Eagles have just six shots in comparison to the Blades’ 15 attempts, in what was a truly lacklustre affair from Palace – they deserved to lose the game, without a doubt.

Before a ball had even been kicked, all eyes were on Wilfried Zaha as the Ivorian made his first start since handing in a transfer request on the eve of the deadline.

Disappointingly, the forward failed to light up Bramall Lane having had just one shot, which was off target.

You wouldn’t be forgiven for wondering how the 26-year-old’s teammates feel about Zaha and his antics in the window, but this image showing an exchange between captain Luka Milivojevic and the winger suggests that the Serbian was asking for more from the former Manchester United man.

This in-game photo showing the pair having a discussion could mean a number of things.

Is the skipper demanding more from his want-away teammate?

Is he questioning a possible lack of commitment?

The former Anderlecht man could be saying anything to the forward in this image, but it is a particularly intriguing photograph given the context of the Ivory Coast international’s current situation at the club.

Zaha really struggled to get involved against Chris Wilder’s side, embarking on just two dribbles whilst also making just a single key pass to go with his one off-target attempt, so Milivojevic could just be asking him to step up his game a tad as the skipper of the team.

Whilst that alone may be quite a bland narrative, it is more fun to speculate about the pair potentially discussing Zaha’s commitment to the side amid the dramatics of the summer transfer window – you would’ve just loved to have been a fly on the wall in the away dressing room on Sunday, wouldn’t you?

Norwich City: Canaries hit with Alex Tettey injury just two weeks before Liverpool opener

Norwich City have been hit with an injury blow as midfielder Alex Tettey has suffered a setback in his bid to come back from a calf injury.

[ad_pod ]

Daniel Farke revealed the news at a press conference and revealed there was ‘a little blood’ in the calf of the Norwegian winger.

He said: “Alex had a little setback in the past week. A small calf injury. We had just planned he would be out for seven to 10 days but there is still some blood in the calf.”

“We have to get that out and we either use some traditional methods or maybe a small surgery. That is a decision to make in the next day or two. It is very rare with this injury you have to do that. It is a shame for Alex. He was looking sharp and unbelievably fit at this level. Let’s see how it develops.” (Source: Eastern Daily Press)

Tettey played a huge part for the Norfolk club last season, featuring 30 times as the club won promotion back to the Premier League. His injury leaves Norwich City with just two out-and-out defensive midfielders in the squad, which could prove problematic especially with a hard start to the season for the club.

The Norwegian was with the Canaries when they were last in the Premier League and has made 71 appearances in English football’s top flight.

An injury setback is devastating for manager Farke, especially after he revealed that the club wasn’t looking to add to their squad ahead of the transfer window closing next Thursday. Depending on the severity of the setback, Norwich may have to dip back into the market to sign another midfielder.

As mentioned above, Tettey has Premier League experience, making the second-most appearances of any player at Norwich City having made 71 appearances, behind goalkeeper Tim Krul (157).

With Norwich expecting to battle relegation next season the experience will be key. To potentially lose Tettey for the beginning of the season is a hammer blow for the club, especially with such a difficult start to the season.

West Ham Transfer Roundup: Arnautovic news, Snodgrass contract, United after defender

[ad_pod ]

Today’s Hammers transfer roundup includes an update in regards to the future of a star player, a new contract for a midfielder and Premier League interest in a defender.

Arnautovic wanted bid accepted

According to Football FanCast sources, Marko Arnautovic asked the club to accept an offer from an unnamed Chinese Super League side. However, that bid – believed to be worth €22m (£19.7m) – has been rejected by the east Londoners.

Snodgrass signs contract extension

Midfielder Robert Snodgrass has signed a contract extension with the London outfit it was confirmed on Tuesday. His deal will now run out in 2021 but it includes the option of a further twelve months.

United to step up Diop interest

French outlet L’Equipe is reporting that Manchester United are preparing to make an offer for centre-back Issa Diop, who moved to the London Stadium only last summer. United will be looking to step up their interest in the coming days.

Aston Villa fans react to image of John Terry during training session

[ad_pod ]

On Friday, Aston Villa’s official Twitter account posted an image of John Terry taking part in a training session, insisting that the 38-year-old has “still got it”.

Now assistant manager at Villa Park, Terry turned out as a player for the club during the 2017-18 campaign before hanging up his boots.

Villa had both Tyrone Mings and Axel Tuanzebe on loan during the 2018-19 campaign but seemingly face a tough task to bring either back to the club this summer.

As a result, some Villa fans have claimed that Terry might be needed as a player, whilst others have suggested that he could still contribute.

The former England captain made an incredible 759 appearances during his professional career, with over 700 of those coming for Chelsea.

In his prime, Terry was outstanding but age has caught up with the Barking-born man.

Thogden challenged himself to DM 100 footballers on Instagram. Find out who replied in the video below…

As a result, the former defender will more than likely have to make his present felt from the touchline rather than on the field.

A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:

Rangers fans hate the idea of signing Josh Magennis this summer

[ad_pod ]

Rangers fans aren’t keen on reports that the club are exploring the option of signing Northern Ireland striker Josh Magennis this summer.

The Belfast Telegraph reported on Tuesday that the Gers were in discussions with the player’s representatives about a potential budget move from Bolton Wanderers this summer, as the English club continue to suffer financial problems.

Check out the below above to see football played as you’ve never seen it before… in a maze!

With 41 caps for his country and spells at Aberdeen, St Mirren and Kilmarnock, Magennis does have good experience but is not known as a prolific goalscorer.

Steven Gerrard already has Alfredo Morelos and Jermain Defoe to call upon, but any third striker in support will also have to be able to find his way to goal when called upon or he won’t be very popular at Ibrox.

It’s fair to say the reaction to his potential signing is already negative, with many fans feeling he simply doesn’t have the quality to fit in at the club if they are hoping to be winning trophies next term.

These supporters have taken to Twitter this week to share their thoughts on the story…
