Antonín Kinský made a huge impact on his Spurs debut!

Kinský made 6 big saves, stopping shots from Salah, Gakpo, and Jota, and kept his cool under pressure. His performance helped end Liverpool’s 24-game unbeaten streak.

I like Nkunku but I don’t think Chelsea is a good place for him right now.

He won’t get any more minutes than he already does and probably won’t start in important matches.

Chelsea already has plenty of dribbling and creativity in the squad so Nkunku feels kind of redundant.

Eberechi Eze’s technique on this shot is for sure THE Crystal Palace highlight of the first half

Although Palace did not generate many chances, amounting to an xG of 0,06 at the time this shot was taken, Eze’s technique and finishing was impressive

Manchester City’s season hangs in the balance.

Just one win in their last 11 matches across all competitions, defensive disaster, and key injuries have left Pep Guardiola’s side shaking.

It took 22 minutes for AC Milan to fire the first shot, as Chukwueze sent in the lower left corner with an xG of 0.02.

The same Chukwueze gifted Verona a huge chance in the 28th minute. His predictible pass was intercepted by Suslov who started his run which ended with a shot

Milan needs to win this one, as they are currently in the 8th spot and 8 points away from Champions League spots

Venezia has teo wins so far against Udinese and Genoa. An accessible game where Milan needs to deliver.

Halftime Stats for Chelsea - Shamrock

Just as I was writing this post Guiu scored the hat-trick.

First two goals by the Blues came from Guiu’s exploiting individual mistakes on the right wing.

Caicedo has been a dominant force against Brentford with defensive actions.

Notice how many of them were in Brentford’s own half #CFC

Maddison's opening goal in the first minute come as a direct result of Tottenham exploiting Southampton's pressing structure

The Saints, by pressing high allowed a gap in midfield and, when it was bypassed, left Spence ample room to run and set the through ball for Maddison

So now, the only logical option is to send it long and clear it, as there were no more options available.

Somehow, Onana decided to pass to de Ligt, who had a defender closing in fast, and he intercepted the ball, leaving United with a central gap in the box.

But, Onana did not pass directly, took a touch and this allowed the defender to start a curved run towards Onana, cutting the option to pass to Mazraoui.

Another defender had time to close in on de Ligt centrally. So at this moment, there were no short passing options available.

How could Onana make such a mistake against Viktoria Plzen?

As Lisandro Martinez was retreating, all Manchester United players were closely marked, except for Mazraoui on the opposite wing.

We can see when the pass is made, Martinez points towards Mazraoui as the most logical option

I knew that Chelsea has a lot of depth in their squad but I don’t know almost half the players in this lineup 💀

Juve found that perfect pass to launch forward into central space and this left them in a 3v3 situation.

They switched to the right wing, and then Weston Mckennie made an underlapping run to attack the central space for the cross and put it in the net with a beautiful volley
December 12, 2024 at 1:20 PM
Trying to recover the ball, combination on the left wing attracted City's players and left space centrally for a run
December 12, 2024 at 1:20 PM
This is how Juventus's brilliant transition led to their second goal

Manchester City isolated Jeremy Doku on the wing to put him in a 1v1 situation against Danilo. Doku did not manage to bypass Danilo and lost the ball, setting up Juve on the counter.

A quiet first half in Turin with both teams at a deadlock

City’s xG of 0,49 was heavily influenced by the 1-on-1 situation between Haaland and Di Gregorio which kept the score level. Haaland’s shot had a 0,41 xG

Meanwhile Juventus waited on the counter but did not have many chances to do so

City is dominating position 10 minutes into the second half, but still failed to generate chances

I feel that Liverpool is an amazing team in transition

Salah already had a huge chance to double the lead in transition, but the shot went wide #LIVMCI

Halftime stats for LIVMCI

The Reds are completely demolishing City at halftime. City head a very sterile possession and did not manage to generate any chances.

The citizens had only one shot and that was not on target during the entire first half.

Interesting lineup against Villa.

First we have a completely new permutation of the pivot pair, with Lavia and Enzo.

Then, first time we see Pedro Neta start on the right, and starting together with Sancho.

Neto was great as RW when Maresca switched to accomodate Mudryk
