Crystal Palace fans slam Tomkins v Spurs

A number of Crystal Palace fans were critical of James Tomkins’ performance in their 3-0 defeat at Tottenham this afternoon.

The Eagles weren’t helped by a first half red card for Wilfried Zaha and trailed 2-0 at the interval, with Heung-min Son adding a third later in the match as the home side ran out comprehensive winners.

Tomkins partnered Joachim Andersen at the heart of the Palace defence but he did not enjoy his afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As per SofaScore, he lost 50% of his duels and failed to make a tackle or interception, while also contributing little on the ball, with a lack of key passes.

Some Palace supporters pointed the finger at him and Andersen over the two Spurs goals, while the 32-year-old also received a yellow card for his troubles when he was booked just before the interval for a cynical foul on Oliver Skipp.

Asad Rauf has gone from TV umpire to on-field official for the second day of the Adelaide Test after Mark Benson was unavailable due to being “unwell”. Benson stood with Ian Gould on the opening day but the match referee Chris Broad confirmed on the second morning that Benson was unable to take his place.Bruce Oxenford had been the fourth umpire and was duly promoted into the TV official’s chair, while Andrew Collins was brought in as fourth umpire. Oxenford was in the action immediately as he upheld Gould’s lbw decision from the first ball of the day after Darren Sammy asked for a review.It had been a challenging opening day for Benson, who was asked to make several tight decisions and twice had his not-out caught-behind calls for Shivnarine Chanderpaul reviewed by the Australians. Both were close decisions and Rauf gave the first not out but overturned the second call, sending Chanderpaul on his way.It is not the first time Benson has been unable to take his place on the field. He was to officiate in Australia’s recent one-day international series in India but was taken ill on the eve of the first match, leaving two Indian officials in charge, and did not take any part in the series. Benson was also forced to leave the field during a Test in Durban in December 2006 due to heart palpitations and he later had minor heart surgery.

West Ham fans hail youngsters

A number of West Ham supporters have been hailing a host of Hammers youngsters after they played against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League.

David Moyes’ side faced a dead rubber contest in Europe on Thursday evening, having already secured qualification into the knockout stages.

It afforded Moyes the luxury of naming a much-changed starting lineup at the London Stadium but it was one that had more meaning to it than normal.

During the night, a total of eight academy graduates took to the field, while there were also five full debutants and two debutants, as highlighted by an official club post.

It was further proof that West Ham are going in the right direction both on and off the pitch, despite the 1-0 defeat, as the latest batch of Hammers youngsters look to mark their mark.

Graeme Aldridge's 11 keeps ND on top

A review of the second round of games in the 2009-10 Plunket Shield

Cricinfo staff20-Nov-2009

Record figures: Graeme Aldridge•Getty Images

After a ten-wicket win in the first round of matches, Northern Districts (ND) beat Central Districts (CD) by nine wickets in Whangarei. Set a modest target of 126 on the third day, thanks in no small part to the seamer Graeme Aldridge’s match haul of 11 for 145, ND were eased home by Michael Parlane’s unbeaten 66. With this win ND remained top of the pile with maximum points after two rounds.CD had resumed the third day trailing at 178 for 5, and soon slipped when the overnight pair of Mathew Sinclair and Bevan Griggs was removed. Aldridge got Griggs to nick one behind early in the day, giving Peter McGlashan his record 12th catch. Aldridge picked up 5 for 96 as CD were bowled out for 310. That achievement, after he took 6 for 49 earlier to shoot CD out for just 94, made his the best bowling performance of all time against this opposition – surpassing DB Clarke’s 10 for 78 record set in Whangarei in 1967-68.ND made 279 in their first innings, with Anton Devcich and fellow rookie Jono Boult making important half-centuries, before Aldridge enjoyed a second outing against CD.Peter Fulton’s important runs for Canterbury in Rangoria helped in a 115-run win over Otago as well as earn him a recall to New Zealand’s Test side. Fulton made 172 in the first innings to help Canterbury post 440 and then hit 77 as they declared on 265 for 5 in the second, setting Otago a massive 471 to win. They were bowled out for 355.The impetus for the win was Canterbury’s first innings total. Fulton’s century was a massive contribution, after the openers Rob Nicol (75) and Michael Papps (51) launched a strong start. The next highest score was 35 as Sam Wells took five wickets. Shane Bond enjoyed a return to the four-day format with 4 for 63 to help keep Otago to 235, after which Canterbury posted 265 for 5 in 73 overs.At the Basin Reserve, Wellington’s Cameron Merchant converted an unplanned promotion into his maiden first-class century to help the hosts beat Auckland by 99 runs. A week after he was dismissed for 99, Merchant hit 108 for 128 balls on a flat track to put Wellington in a winning position heading into the final day.Wellington, who declared at 280 for 5 in their second innings with a 362-run lead and after already securing two first-innings points, their first of the season, achieved the win by bowling out Auckland for 263.Auckland, having opted to field, lost ground when Wellington made 356 with Mathew Bell (91) and Josh Brodie (103) adding 151 for the opening wickets. Auckland then declared their first innings at 274 for 9, conceding first-innings points. The opener Richard Jones hit a century while Jeetan Patel took 4 for 73.

De novo sem Renato, Levir encontra nova dupla de volantes

MatériaMais Notícias

Renato até foi a campo, mas não estará recuperado para enfrentar a Ponte Preta, na quinta-feira, às 17h, no Moisés Lucarelli. O volante realizou testes, mas voltou a sentir fortes dores no tornozelo direito.

O duelo contra a Macaca marca o quinto jogo do Peixe sem o camisa 8. Mas apesar da importância do experiente meio-campista de 37 anos​, o técnico Levir Culpi parece ter achado o substituto ideal.

No treino de terça-feira, Matheus Jesus voltou a usar o colete amarelo, o de titular. O camisa 22 havia entrado na vitória sobre o Atlético-PR e estreou como titular no clássico contra o Palmeiras, o qual o Peixe também venceu.

A atuação foi elogiada por Levir, o que fez o garoto de 20 anos ganhar a vaga entre os 11 iniciais.

O próprio Matheus Jesus acreditava que voltaria ao banco de reservas e, antes disso, aprovou a própria atuação, a qual considerou ousada. Em Campinas, ele reencontra o clube que o revelou, mas pode não ser bem recebido.

Principal revelação da Macaca nos últimos anos, Matheus Jesus chegou a usar a camisa 10, mas deixou o clube pela porta dos fundos. Após ser afastado, foi vendido ao Estoril, de Portugal, mas não chegou a estrear na Europa e logo foi emprestado ao Santos.

-Eu tenho um carinho muito grande por todos da Ponte. Agora eu sou do Santos, então tenho que dar o meu máximo, se eu entrar. Vou me dedicar ao máximo para ajudar o Peixe.Não sei como serei recebido – disse.

Antes de achar o substituto ideal para Renato, Levir Culpi teve o trabalho de substituir Thiago Maia, titular que foi vendido ao Lille, da França. Desde então, testou Alison, que não deixou mais o time.

O Santos encara a Ponte Preta com Vanderlei; Daniel Guedes, Lucas Veríssimo, David Braz e Zeca; Alison, Matheus Jesus e Lucas Lima; Copete, Bruno Henrique e Ricardo Oliveira.

Oswaldo de Oliveira sonha com vaga na Libertadores, mas mantém alerta com o Z-4

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o São Paulo, Oswaldo de Oliveira começou a ver a parte de cima da tabela com mais ambição, principalmente porque a atuação do Atlético na noite da última quarta-feira manteve a equipe na oitava colocação. Com 37 pontos, o Galo se distancia do G-7 por apenas dois pontos, mas, apesar de estar perto de alcançar seu objetivo, a equipe precisa estar atenta a zona de rebaixamento.

– Temos ambição sim, mas, em primeiro lugar, não podemos deixar de nos preocupar com esse bolo que está ali. Uma vitória sempre nos afasta, mas temos que manter para os próximos jogos – disse o técnico alvinegro.

A equipe mineira aproveita a classificação do Cruzeiro para facilitar seu acesso ao torneio continental. Por conta da conquista da Copa do Brasil, a Raposa já tem vaga assegurada, o que puxa mais um time para a pré-Libertadores. Porém, com o Flamengo à frente, o Atlético-MG tem a missão de garantir resultados positivos para passar o Rubro Negro e confirmar sua permanência na zona classificatória nas próximas rodadas do Brasileirão.

– É um grupo muito próximo, essa proximidade pode nos dar a chance de vencermos novamente e nos aproximarmos do bloco da frente. Mas não podemos relaxar, traçar isso como único objetivo. A equipe tem que jogar bem, ganhar autoconfiança, para isso transbordar para fora do campo com a torcida, e aí vamos sonhar com outras coisas – explicou Oswaldo de Oliveira.

Após a vitória sobre o São Paulo, o Atlético-MG volta as atenções para a partida contra o Sport, que acontece às 17h do próximo domingo, na Ilha do Retiro. O confronto é válido pela 28ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro e uma vitória é importante para os dois lados, já que o Galo pode alcançar o G-6 ou o Leão deixar a zona de rebaixamento.

Ange must unleash Forrest on Thursday

With arguably the biggest game of Ange Postecoglou’s short Celtic career coming up in the Europa League on Thursday, as a win could potentially see the Bhoys take a huge step towards securing what initially looked to be a highly unlikely route out of their group, the 56-year-old will undoubtedly be thinking long and hard about his starting XI for the clash.

There is yet further incentive for Celtic to get one over on Bayer Leverkusen this week, as the Bundesliga side stuck four past the Bhoys at Parkhead in the reverse fixture – a result which appears to have inspired the Hoops on a run of nine consecutive games without defeat in all competitions.

So, with so much riding on the match, it is essential for the Greek-Australian boss to get his team right for the trip to the BayArena – with one player who has made a very strong case for a start in recent fixtures being James Forrest.

Postecoglou must unleash Forrest

Having recently returned from a training ground injury – a knock which kept the 30-year-old sidelined for ten weeks – Postecoglou has been slowly reintroducing the winger to first-team football, with Forrest featuring for eight minutes against Livingston, 20 minutes against Ferencvaros, 28 minutes against Dundee and 21 minutes against St. Johnstone last weekend.

It was the latter of these appearances which proved that the £5.4m-rated man is ready for a start on Thursday, as, just four minutes after being brought on in the League Cup semi-final, the man who Kieran Tierney dubbed a “brilliant” player inspired Celtic to a dramatic win, drilling home to send the Bhoys end wild, and securing his club’s spot in the final.

Aside from Forrest’s impressive impact last weekend, another reason why Postecoglou simply must start the £15k-per-week winger on Thursday is the rather contrasting recent displays of Liel Abada, as, aside from a good showing against Ferencvaros, the 20-year-old has not been in the best of form over the past month or so.

As such, with a win being of the utmost importance in Germany, the 56-year-old Bhoys boss must unleash the man who Tam McManus claimed “always shows up” for the Hoops – as he could well be Celtic’s cup hero once again.
