He showed at the end of the game his shot-stopping ability that made him the toast of the nation at the last World Cup, but this is trumped by the foibles in his game. Both stats (most goals from errors in the Premier League in last 18 months) and the eye test tell the same story. Unfortunately there is not a clear answer or experienced keeper lying in wait to take over the gloves, but taking a flier on either Nick Pope or Dean Henderson would be a far better option.

Stankovic wants three points from this duel. Victory for Red Star.

But we need the next level now. Chelsea boss Emma Hayes, Manchester United’s Casey Stoney and former United States coach Jill Ellis are among the names to be linked with the job. Brown-Finnis, who made 82 appearances for the Lionesses, says Hayes and Stoney may not have the required experience for the role yet, but someone of Ellis’ profile is the type of candidate the Football Association should be looking at.
We have a fantastic team, we don't lack anything, we have all the tools necessary to go on winning: A coach we identify with, a versatile squad, a style of play that breeds victories, a stadium and supporters that play their part.

After the break, the youngsters more than held their own but Wesley added a late fifth as Villa cruised through to the League Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2012/13. Liverpool named five debutants in a side with an average age of 19 years and 182 days, but Villa also rang the changes, with one of those inclusions, Conor Hourihane, firing a free-kick into the middle in the 14th minute, which evaded everyone and squirmed into the net under the despairing dive of Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.

This is the latest big sporting event to be held in Saudi Arabia, following the recent Anthony Joshua-Andy Ruiz Jr boxing match, the Italian Super Cup between Juventus and Lazio last month and a friendly between Brazil and Argentina. The kingdom has sought to stage sporting and entertainment events in a bid to attract visitors and move away from its oil-dependent economy. The Spanish Super Cup has been moved from the summer so it does not disrupt clubs' lucrative pre-season summer tours.
Martin did well but I think the performance was not down just to one player. West Ham have struggled in the absence of first-choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who has been sidelined since September with a hip injury. Probably he will be ready at the end of the month, but I think that we must be careful with his return and not try to bring him back before he's absolutely ready," Pellegrini said.
To put it simply, this is a gilt-edged opportunity for the hosts to take three points. Punters are advised to back them to do just that. Nantes' home efforts, even if not consistent are much better than Dijon's rather sorry away-day exploits. At Stade de la Beaujoire, the hosts have scored more than double the goals that Dijon have on the road, while they've also conceded half as many. On top of this, Nantes have an average-shots on target supremacy of +3.12, which is much better than Dijon's of -2.5 on the road. Lastly, Nantes' average of 2.00 points per home match far exceeds Dijon's of 0.50. The hosts are a shade of odds-on in the betting, but all things considered, they could probably be a tad shorter, so a punt on the home win appeals.
Every administration I have been involved in had its peculiarities," he said. But this is a first. Four weeks is a record that will stand for some time. We are aware of concerns that have been raised. The investigation won't go away. It will be done. Once I know we have saved the club and got non-disclosure letters out [to prospective buyers] - we're talking about two weeks - we will sit down with our lawyers to see if there is any litigation there that will be for the benefit of the creditors.

Both these sides didn’t end the season on a high in 2019 and will be hoping to bury that as they grace the new campaign. Montreal Impact have a game in the CONCACAFChampions League before their MLS clash and for a side with a new manager just settling in, this will cause a bit of concern. Meanwhile, New England have no midweek action and will have time to prepare for this clash, which we feel will count for much on Saturday. Here we will go with a win for New England.

Paper Round’s view: De Gea appears jaded after so many years between the sticks for United. It would be unfair to prevent him from leaving if he is given the chance to win trophies elsewhere. He also is not the player he once was and may regain his form if he is given a fresh start elsewhere, and United could use the funds to improve the rest of their squad.
Long, starting a league match for only the second time this season, nearly grabbed his first goal of the campaign but prodded an effort wide from 12 yards in the second half. Ings was unlucky to not grab his second and Southampton's third when he did well to control Nathan Redmond's pass on his chest and then, under pressure from two City defenders, volleyed just wide.
I won't wash my clothes after I hugged Messi," Braithwaite told reporters. He congratulated me, he's a great guy and tried to make me feel comfortable on the pitch by passing to me often. I'm very happy to have given my first assist to Leo. Video - 'Panic mode' Man Utd chasing Wolves forward - Euro Papers01:08 Braithwaite was not far from marking his first appearance for Barca with a goal in the final few minutes of the game, firing a shot at Dmitrovic which the goalkeeper parried into the feet of Arthur Melo who tapped into the empty net.

Pressure is mounting on head coach, Markus Babbel, which seems silly with the side sitting fourth in the league but the demands of the fan base are big and their poor results and less than inspiring displays have some fans calling for a change. They’ll need to find a result soon in order to keep in touch with the teams at the top and, potentially, save their manager’s job.
It is not a case of 'must do better', more 'can they do any better?'Their win over Manchester City at Etihad Stadium was one of their best results of the first half of the season, and they also showed last week against Norwich that they have the resolve to win games when things initially do not go well for them. I am sure Wolves will again look to use the pace of Adama Traore, who scored twice against City in October, but I don't see a repeat result.
It has been a long 11 months for Jose Mourinho. Sacked by Manchester United on 18 December 2018, Mourinho has not exactly disappeared from public life. There were a number of interviews, a few sponsorship commitments and those compelling appearances on Sky Sports' football coverage. Only now, back in management and able to reflect on a satisfying 3-2 win for his new club Tottenham in a potentially tricky London derby at West Ham, can Mourinho admit he sometimes wondered during that time: "What am I doing here?"He has never felt like that in the technical area.

Though they've made a good start to the season, taking 23 points from 15 games, Rosario Central can't afford to take their foot off the gas. Indeed, the side are still in a degree of danger in the average points table used to relegate sides and need to continue picking up results from now until the end of the season.
Internacional are in excellent form at the moment with a 5-2-0 record in the last 7 games and in the last 3 games they have kept a clean sheet. In the Copa Libertadores they have an excellent record at home with 9 wins and 2 draws in the last 11 games.
Hailing from Paraguay, Guarani will host this leg after travelling to Chile to take on Palestino in what turned out to be a game low on quality last week. Despite having Fernando Barrientos sent off in the first half after two yellow cards, Guarani took the lead after the break through Rodney Redes. It was the 19-year-old forward's second goal in the competition and the only goal of the game.
He later posted a message on Instagram calling fans who targeted him "idiots" and also criticised referee Luis Godinho.

It's an important weekend for both of these sides. BATE look to extend their lead at the top, while Shakhtyor aim to end the weekend in top spot.
