O São Paulo chegou a 26ª derrota na temporada neste domingo, em Chapecó. Chateado com um novo tropeço tricolor, o volante João Schmidt prometeu mais dedicação na única partida que ainda lhe resta no ano, contra o Santa Cruz, no Pacaembu, na última rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Afinal, na derrota para a Chapecoense, na Arena Condá, o jovem jogador recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo e não enfrenta o Atlético-MG na próxima rodada.

– A gente não conclui as chances (em gols), foi assim em todo o campeonato. A gente até consegue criar, mas isso é muito pouco. Temos que continuar nos dedicando ao máximo nos jogos para tentar deixar o São Paulo em um lugar mais alto – disse o jogador.

Além dele, o São Paulo pode ter ainda mais dois desfalques, tudo depende das atividades durante a semana. Certo é que o polivalente Wesley, lesionado, só volta aos gramados em 2017. Já Kelvin, tratando um estiramento na coxa esquerda, ainda tem chance de estar em campo em Belo Horizonte, no próximo domingo, no Independência.

Em 13º, com apenas 46 pontos, 12 vitórias, 10 empates e 14 derrotas, o Tricolor do Morumbi não briga mais por nada na temporada, mas tanto jogadores, como torcida, esperam que as duas últimas rodadas sejam melhores do que a 36ª. Hudson deve ocupar a vaga de João Schmidt na equipe.

Fans of Glasgow Rangers have been reacting to a post on Twitter, in which St Johnstone – Rangers’ opposition on Wednesday evening – revealed the cost of their pay-per-view stream for the clash with Gers.

With fans still not being allowed back into stadiums, supporters are still having to make do with streams provided by the clubs themselves in order to see their team in action.

And, ahead of Gers’ trip to McDiarmid Park to face St Johnstone on Wednesday, the Saints confirmed in a post on Twitter that the fixture would be available to watch via their pay-per-view service.

However, with the price of the stream being set at a quite remarkable £17.50, fans of Rangers flocked to have their say on the matter, with many appearing to be dumbstruck by the amount of money St Johnstone are charging to watch the game, while others stated that they hope nobody takes the club up on their offer.

So, what exactly did these Rangers fans have to say in reaction to the price of St Johnstone’s stream?

“I would have paid a tenner for it. As a matter of principle, you will certainly not be getting £17.50. Shocking price for a meaningless game. I hope nobody takes you up on the offer.”

@MillieMeadow

“Ridiculous price. No chance.”

@Gallus__Pioneer

“Pricing yourself out of the market. Genius!”

@AMcKellar89

“Anyone who pays £17.50 to them for this is off their head. Get tickets for the games for not much more than that. Could’ve made it £10 and most would’ve paid and they’d have made a fortune but £17.50 is just plain greed.”

@Ranger55pares

“This is unsurprisingly a shambles and blatant exploitation of Rangers fans. The best thing you can do? Have a look at Rangers’ commercial partners. Anyone at all needs a bit of help setting anything up please get in touch.”

@JonnyL1872

“Stunned if they make a grand tonight.”

@macinnesdaniel8

“Absolutely shocking! Would they charge this if they were playing someone other than Rangers or Celtic? That’s the price of a damned ticket!”

Southampton have struggled immensely with injuries so far this campaign and the latest setback to Danny Ings is yet another frustrating blow for Ralph Hasenhuttl as we approach the culmination of the Premier League season.

The 28-year-old striker was forced off injured in the 2-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur in midweek having scored earlier in the game, with Southampton collapsing after his substitution.

Although he hasn’t reached the heights of last season, when he finished joint-second top scorer in the Premier League with 22 goals, he is still the top scorer for the Saints so far this term, with 10 goals to his name in the top flight.

His 6.89/10 average WhoScored rating also sees him ranked as the Saints’ joint-fifth best performer in the Premier League this season, so it is clear to see how important he is to Hasenhuttl’s side.

After the match, the manager confirmed he didn’t know the full extent of Ings’ injury, but the fact that he was holding his hamstring/groin as he limped off suggests that the 28-year-old could miss a significant portion of Southampton’s remaining Premier League programme.

Although the Saints are currently nine points clear of 18th-placed Fulham, having also played a game less, the absence of Ings could leave Hasenhuttl fearing the worst this season, as their awful form in 2021 would certainly mark them out as relegation candidates if it were not for the similarly terrible performances from Sheffield United, West Brom and Fulham this season.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/southampton-saints-ralph-hasenhuttl-martin-semmens-st-marys” title=”Latest Southampton news, transfer rumours and more”]

Last season saw Ings earn huge praise for his performances, with former Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe particularly complimentary of the striker, saying: “The most impressive thing about Danny is, of course, he’s an outstanding player.”

[freshpress-quiz id=“594431″]

Given that Southampton have really struggled to score goals at times this season, losing a player who can turn a game on its head such as Ings, evidenced by his superb display in the 3-2 comeback win against Burnley recently, is a huge blow for Hasenhuttl, and he will be desperately hoping that the Saints can do enough to stay up this season without him.

In other news… “Brilliant” £70k-p/w Saints star may have already played his last game under Hasenhuttl

Many fans of Aston Villa have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relayed a report regarding recent comments made by on-loan Villa midfielder Conor Hourihane.

Since making his loan move to Swansea City back in January, the Irishman has highly impressed in his 13 Championship appearances for Steve Cooper’s side, with the 30-year-old scoring five goals and providing one assist, as well as averaging a WhoScored match rating of 6.86, ranking him as the Swans’ 10th-best performer in the second tier.

In recent comments, as cited by Birmingham Live, Hourihane claimed that Swansea’s push for promotion is an “exciting” thing to be a part of, before going on to state that he knows what it is like to experience promotion to the top flight, as he achieved the feat with Villa back in 2019.

However, after Aston Villa News relayed the report on Twitter, questioning whether Villa fans would welcome Hourihane back to Villa Park this summer, many stated their belief that the £42,000-per-week midfielder’s time with Dean Smith’s side is up. That stance could be based on the 30-year-old making just four Premier League appearances this season before his loan move to south Wales.

So, what did these Aston Villa fans have to say in reaction to the tweet regarding Conor Hourihane?

“Loved his contribution during his time with us. I think, though, his days are done with Villa. Wish him all the success.”

@irvines02

“Nope, a summer recruitment drive will put an end to Hourihane’s Villa career.”

@Captain__C00k_

“Sad to say but no – a great player at Championship level but not in the Prem.”

@hilly53

“Nope, Championship player at best. Great for a goal or set-piece but overall not good or mobile enough for the Prem.”

@Seancallowbrady

“No. Has served us well but if we’re moving forward then it’s time to move on.”

@shang1308

“No, not good enough.”

Many Glasgow Rangers fans are delighted after the Daily Record revealed that James Tavernier is ready to open talks with the club over a new contract.

As the Gers have romped to the Premiership title this season, Tavernier has played a huge part. He has led by example in his role as captain and has been crucial at both ends of the pitch. Having conceded just 10 goals (BBC), the Gers have easily the best defence in the Scottish top flight, while the 29-year-old has more goals than any of his teammates with 17, as well as the most assists with 15 (Transfermarkt).

The former Wigan Athletic man’s current deal is set to run out at the end of next season, and in an attempt to avoid him leaving on a free transfer, Ross Wilson and Steven Gerrard are set to open talks with the right-back.

The news attracted plenty of attention from these Rangers supporters, who took to social media platform Twitter to share their thoughts.

Let’s see what the fans had to say about the Tavernier news below

In other news, some Rangers fans do not agree with these comments from Steven Gerrard.

Tottenham Hotspur produced a solid display to beat Dinamo Zagreb 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa League last 16 knockout tie on Thursday night, although the Croatian side did cause some problems on their trip to north London.

Two goals from Harry Kane secured the win for Jose Mourinho’s side and some of the Spurs players who featured will be grateful for his brace, as there were a few too many passengers in the game for the Lilywhites.

One man in particular who disappointed with his performance was Dele Alli.

As per SofaScore, the 24-year-old earned a 6.5/10 rating for his performance on Thusday, which was the lowest of any Spurs player who started the game. The former MK Dons man struggled to get involved in Spurs’ attacking play during his time on the pitch and managed no shots, no successful dribbles and no key passes on the night.

In the Europa League so far this season, Alli has averaged 1.4 shots, 1.4 key passes and 0.6 dribbles per game, which demonstrates that he was nowhere near his best against Zagreb.

The England international, who is currently valued at £34.2m by Transfermarkt, also had just 49 touches of the ball and completed only 33 passes, which again is fewer than the 36.4 passes per game he has averaged in Europe this season.

It was no surprise, therefore, that Mourinho subbed Alli just after the hour mark and his replacement, Steven Bergwijn, managed one key pass and one shot on target, as well as a 100% pass accuracy, which suggests that the Dutch winger was able to do a lot more than Alli in the game, despite only being on the pitch for around 30 minutes, per Sofascore.

It was a really poor display from Alli and nowhere near the level he has shown in recent Europa League and Premier League fixtures, so Mourinho will be hoping that he doesn’t slump back into a poor run of form, as Spurs will need every player on song if they are to finish the season strongly and secure a top four finish.

Após a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Internacional, no Beira-Rio, Gabriel Jesus despediu-se do Palmeiras para defender a Seleção Brasileira na Olimpíada no posto de artilheiro isolado do Campeonato Brasileiro e com o time na liderança. Com a medalha de ouro na bagagem, o jovem voltou ao Verdão ainda no topo da lista de artilheiros e na ponta da tabela.

Jesus marcou dez gols antes de se apresentar à Seleção Brasileira. Quando ele embarcou para se apresentar a Rogério Micale, seu principal rival era Diego Souza, do Sport, com oito bolas na rede. Bruno Rangel (Chapecoense) vinha logo atrás, com sete, enquanto Robinho (Atlético-MG), Fred (Atlético-MG), Rafael Moura (Figueirense), Kieza (Vitória) e Vitor Bueno (Santos) estavam empatados com seis gols cada um.

Seis rodadas depois, a diferença para os concorrentes é menor. Diego Souza e Robinho chegaram à marca de nove gols, assim como Sassá, do Botafogo, que entrou na briga com ótimo desempenho nas últimas rodadas.Grafite, Vitor Bueno e Bruno Rangel estão com oito gols.

A “gordura” do time na ponta também diminuiu, de três para dois pontos. Ao término da 15ª rodada, a última em que Gabriel Jesus atuou, o Palmeiras tinha 32 pontos contra 29 do vice-líder Corinthians. Agora são 40 pontos contra 38 do segundo colocado, o Atlético-MG.

O Galo foi a equipe que mais cresceu no período olímpico. O time de Marcelo Oliveira ocupava o oitavo lugar após a 15ª rodada, com nove pontos a menos que o Palmeiras. Foram 15 pontos ganhos em 18 disputados desde então.

O Verdão somou oito pontos sem o seu artilheiro: derrotas para Atlético-MG e Botafogo, empates com Chapecoense e Ponte Preta e vitórias diante de Atlético-PR e Vitória.Foi a mesma pontuação de Corinthians e Grêmio no período, sendo que os gaúchos fizeram um jogo a menos.Flamengo (13 pontos) e Santos (10 pontos) também pontuaram mais.

Se pouca coisa mudou em termos de artilharia e classificação, a situação do atacante fora de campo foi definida. Antes envolvido em inúmeras especulações envolvendo clubes europeus, Gabriel Jesus foi vendido para o Manchester City e tem apresentação marcada para dezembro. O time do Verdão também teve uma mudança considerável: Fernando Prass, o mais absoluto dos titulares, fraturou o cotovelo e só volta no ano que vem. Jailson é quem tem jogado.

These Glasgow Rangers fans are absolutely delighted with a video of Andy Gray on beIN Sports on Saturday.

The Gers weren’t in action this weekend, but their fierce city rivals Celtic were in action against St. Mirren. It ended up being a fantastic day for the Ibrox outfit as St. Mirren picked up a surprise 2-1 win. The result means that the 54-time Scottish champions remain 23 points clear at the top of the table (BBC) – their first major trophy in 10 years is edging ever closer.

Andy Gray is a well-known Rangers supporter, and he was live on beIN Sports covering Everton vs Newcastle when the Celtic result came through. While the Toffees, for whom Gray used to play for, lost 2-0, he was delighted with the Bhoys’ struggles.

The Gers supporters loved his reaction, which was tweeted by the channel’s official Twitter account, and they took to the social media platform to share their thoughts.

Let’s see what the fans had so about the reaction from Gray below

In other news, Rangers fans are livid at this Morelos update.

After seeing a couple of their club’s academy talents make their debuts against Wolfsberger in the Europa League on Wednesday night, a lot of Spurs fans no doubt are keeping an eye out for who could be the next break-out star.

Dane Scarlett of course is the name on everybody’s lips, after the 16-year-old helped set up Carlos Vinicius’ goal and had Jose Mourinho purring about he’s a “diamond” and a “kid with incredible potential”.

But while Scarlett appears set for a bright future, there may be another Spurs academy player who could make a more immediate impression on the first-team: Dennis Cirkin.

The 18-year-old has already caught the eye of his manager, who lauded him as someone with a “lot of quality” back in November 2019. And, given the position that he plays, Mourinho should seriously consider bringing him permanently into the first-team fold.

Left-back is an area that Spurs thought they had finally found a long-term solution for last summer, after bringing in Sergio Reguilon. While the Spaniard has showcased his ability whenever he’s been on the pitch – Harry Kane will be the first to recognise that given the incredible crosses he regularly delivers – he has had his fair share of injury problems.

Meanwhile, Ben Davies just doesn’t seem to be the answer, with Spurs fans slamming him as recently as the Manchester City game earlier this month.

In Cirkin, Mourinho has someone who could give Davies a run for his money, and provide some better cover for Reguilon right now, as well as giving him some genuine competition in the future.

Writing for The Athletic back in September, Charlie Eccleshare revealed: “Stylistically, Cirkin fits the prototype for a modern full-back.

“He’s energetic (fit enough to look like he is gliding up and down the wing), positionally aware, and the owner of a powerful left foot that has helped him pick up goals and assists throughout the age groups at Spurs — including scoring twice in the Under-18 Premier League last season.”

As Spurs fans have seen throughout the years with Gareth Bale, and even in their most recent Premier League game against West Ham when he cannoned one off the crossbar, a player with a “powerful left foot” can be an absolute joy to watch.

And just like Bale in fact, Cirkin appears to be a natural left-back with all the attacking instincts and qualities of a winger, and perhaps down the line, could even transition into a player that plays further forward.

But for now, as Eccleshare says, Cirkin fits the bill as the modern full-back, and given Spurs’ problems in that position this season with Davies’ lack of consistent form and Reguilon’s injury struggles, he may be the academy prospect Mourinho should look to bring into the first-team fold.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to bounce back from their midweek heartache later this afternoon as they head to rock-bottom Sheffield United in the Premier League.

It was the same old problem for Jose Mourinho as his Spurs dropped points when holding 1-0 lead once again, something we’ve seen in games against Newcastle, Palace and Wolves.

Spurs did have plenty of chances to double their lead as Heung-min Son missed a whopping four big chances, and he was also found offside when Sergio Reguilon fired home in the second half.

Mourinho made a surprising call in starting central midfielder Moussa Sissoko at right-wing and that experiment ultimately failed.

The 31-year-old is just not cut out for an attacking role like that – per SofaScore, he managed to win only six of 14 duels (42.9%), lost possession 13 times, was dribbled past three times, and was graded a disappointing 6.6.

That meant he ranked as Spurs’ fourth-worst player whilst only two other members of the squad lost more duels. He was simply wasteful and ineffective.

But that’s hardly a surprise given he’s an ageing midfielder who has averaged a shocking 0.1 key passes and 0.1 shots per game in the Premier League this term.

Why Mourinho thought he could offer anything in attack is surprising when looking at those figures. They only prove his inefficiency. He’s either got to start further back or not at all, which is why a ruthless decision must be made against the Blades tomorrow.

The Frenchman, signed for £30m by Mauricio Pochettino, ought to be axed for an actual winger as both Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela were on the bench against Fulham.

Once dubbed “remarkable” by Arsene Wenger and compared to Steven Gerrard by Kevin Phillips, the £80k-per-week Sissoko clearly still has a lot to offer but neither of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg or Harry Winks should be expended for his presence in the engine room.

The one-time “disgrace” and “liability” has turned his career around at Spurs since Mourinho was appointed, but after that shocker in midweek, he must be dropped.

AND in other news, Spurs dodged a £27m bullet in “phenomenon” who’s WORSE than Janssen…
