Football: Liverpool, Spurs better than Man City at the moment, says Guardiola

LONDON • So much has changed for Manchester City in the space of a week.
Two rounds of matches and two defeats later, a one-point gap has turned into a sizeable seven-point lead for Liverpool (51 points) over the Premier League champions.
And should City continue their downward spiral at revitalised Southampton on Sunday, their title defence could be over by the time they welcome the buoyant Reds to the Etihad Stadium next Thursday.
While it is not in Pep Guardiola's psyche to panic, even with his side faltering as the title race picks up pace at the halfway mark, the manager would have recognised the need to sharpen up fast.
He acknowledged that uncertainty had crept into the minds of his players after the 2-1 loss at Leicester on Wednesday, their third defeat in four league games.
He told Sky Sports: "The fact is we lost three in four, and the last two, and if you want to be real contenders, we have to win again.
"As soon as possible, we have to try to win again for our mood, our confidence and our desire. You have to be confident to play and to come back."

• 
  CITY'S WIN RATE WITH FERNANDINHO - 71.3%
  WITHOUT FERNANDINHO  - 59.3%
  

The Spaniard admitted he had to "change the dynamic" in his team as Liverpool and Tottenham (45 points), who have leapfrogged City into second, were now "better than us at the moment".
He said: "You have to accept it, and it's important to accept where we are and they are improving.
"The reality is there are two or three teams better than us. We're not talking about whether we can get to (the level of) Liverpool, the issue is about winning another game, and thinking in ourselves about how we can improve."
While he still retains faith in "how exceptional the lads are in the locker room", he knows they face the greatest test of their character in the coming week.
"Good results make miracles in the mind. Now there will be doubts, and what you have to do is try to put in a good performance. But we are able to do that. I never doubt them. I don't forget who we are, how good we are," the City manager added.
However, he is also well aware his defence lacks a real shield in the absence of Fernandinho, who missed his second straight league game with knee trouble and remains a doubt this weekend.
City do not have a natural replacement for the Brazilian enforcer, which was why he was so desperate to land Jorginho, who eventually moved to Chelsea in the summer.
Without Fernandinho, their win percentage drops to 59.3 from 71.3.
Sky Sports pundit Steve Sidwell believes no other City player can perform the same role, although the former Fulham midfielder also felt the rest of the team were not pulling their weight.
He said: "Fernandinho does a lot of work there. But I think it's down to a lack of mentality that Pep Guardiola will not be happy about.
"Look at the results they've lost there, Crystal Palace and Leicester, and they'll be very disappointed with (the) Palace (loss) having been at home as well."
Another problem area for City is at left-back, where first-choice Benjamin Mendy is not expected to return from injury until at least February.
His replacement Fabian Delph was sent off at the King Power Stadium and he will miss the Saints and Reds games owing to a three-game ban. That leaves Oleksandr Zinchenko or Aymeric Laporte there and they are far from ideal options in that position.
However, Sidwell refused to rule City out of the title race despite their poor run, backing them to turn things around with "the quality they have got".
He added: "If there's one team, when you're top, who you don't want to be chasing you, then it's going to be this City team.
"The depth of squad they've got, they can go out and win games convincingly."

Incredible Toy Story and Cristiano Ronaldo statistic is shocking fans after Ajax dump Juventus out of the Champions League

Cristiano Ronaldo may be one of the greatest footballers of all time, but the forward is definitely human.

For instance, despite getting on the scoresheet on Tuesday night, the 33-year-old was unable to stop Juventus from crashing out of the Champions League at the hands of Ajax.

Ronaldo gave the Serie A side the lead after 28 minutes with a record 126th goal in the competition, his ninth in seven meetings against Ajax.

2

But goals from Donny Van de Beek and Matthijs de Ligt gave Ajax a thoroughly deserved 3-2 aggregate success.

Ajax will meet Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur in their first Champions League semi-final for 22 years and many will consider them underdogs again.

But after eliminating Real Madrid, champions for the previous three seasons, and now Juventus, Erik ten Hag’s exciting young side should not be underestimated.

And, courtesy of Duncan Alexander, the upset in Turin has produced perhaps one of the greatest (albeit bizarre) statistics of all-time.

2

From 2007 onwards, Ronaldo has reached the Champions League semi-finals in every year except ones in which a Toy Story film has been released.

The fourth instalment of the popular franchise is due for release on June 21 this year.

When Toy Story 3 came out in 2010, Real Madrid were stunned by Lyon in the first round of the knockout phases – losing 2-1 on aggregate.

Thankfully for the Portuguese, the latest instalment looks set to be the last as he goes in search of his fifth Champions League trophy.

Wilfried Zaha: Crystal Palace prepared to let star man leave for whopping £80m this summer

Crystal Palace have slapped an £80million price tag on Wilfried Zaha, according to reports.

The Mail on Sunday claim that the Eagles are prepared to let the wantaway forward leave this summer, but only for the right price.

2

Zaha recently revealed he wants to leave Selhurst Park in order to realise his ambition of playing Champions League football.

And the former Manchester United man is likely to get his wish granted this summer, with a host of Europe’s top clubs chasing his signature.

Arsenal have shown a long-standing interest in the 26-year-old, with club representatives watching him on numerous occasions.

Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan have also expressed an interest in Zaha, while Tottenham are unlikely to afford a deal to sign the tricky playmaker.

2

The ongoing situation with Zaha is likely to have an impact on team-mate Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s future.

The Palace right back, 21, is regarded as one of the best young talents in the world and is attracting interest from the Premier League’s elite.

There is, however, a huge reluctance at Selhurst Park to let both Zaha and Wan-Bissaka leave in the same summer, with club hierarchy fully aware of the backlash they’d receive from supporters.

Only a huge offer for both Wan-Bissaka and Zaha will tempt the board into selling them both in the same window.

Palace fended off interest for Zaha last summer, with the club persuading him to sign a new five-year deal worth £130,000 a week – thus making him the highest earner at the club.

But in light of Zaha’s recent comments in the media, it seems a matter of when, not if, the attacker departs the Premier League outfit.

Football: Huddersfield end losing run with 0-0 draw at Cardiff

CARDIFF, Wales (REUTERS) - Bottom club Huddersfield Town ended their eight-match losing streak in the Premier League with a goalless draw at fellow strugglers Cardiff City on Saturday (Jan 12) but were left fuming over a decision by referee Lee Mason.
Cardiff, in 17th place, did not manage a shot on target and Huddersfield will feel they should have picked up a rare win in South Wales.
The controversy came when Mason pointed to the spot after Florent Hadergjonaj went down under challenge from Joe Bennett, but changed his mind after consulting his assistant.
Huddersfield manager David Wagner said he had been unable to comprehend the explanation given to him by the assistant referee for the change of decision.
"There are four people in black and you have to ask them what was going on," said the German.
"I spoke to the linesman during the match and he said: 'The first incident was not a foul and the second I don't know,' but I don't know what he means. It was clearly a penalty, the video footage speaks for itself and we have not got it. It makes no sense to waste my energy for something like this, but it was a big mistake."
Wagner said the decision could prove to be very costly for the struggling Yorkshire club.
"I really can't find the words how this can happen. The fourth official had no idea either, he was as surprised as everyone else was. Decisions like this make tables and seasons. We have had so many decisions against us and I don't know why," he said.
"The boys left everything on the grass, and only one team deserved something out of the game. One point is not enough, we needed to win."
Huddersfield, who had lost their previous six games at Cardiff in all competitions, had 61 per cent of possession and Jason Puncheon and Steve Mounie both went close to a breakthrough.
Wagner's side remain bottom on 11 points, eight points away from safety.
Cardiff captain Sean Morrison said his team did not produce enough for a victory.
"We wanted to take three points but with our performance we didn't deserve to win the game and we're disappointed.
"We've got better players than we have shown today and if we want to stay in the Premier League our performances need to be better and we need to create chances."

Manchester United transfers: Who is Nathan Collins? The Stoke City starlet recommended by ex-Red Devil Darren Fletcher

Manchester United look set to land Nathan Collins from Stoke City during the summer.

The 18-year-old centre-back is highly rated and made his senior debut in April for the Championship club.

Getty

Nathan Collins has represented Republic of Ireland at under-17 levelCollins could be seen as a long-term solution to United’s central defensive issues, which have been evident this season.

If the Red Devils sell Marcus Rojo and Eric Bailly in the summer then they will be left with just Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Victor Lindelof.

The youngster could also be seen as somewhat of a cheaper option than the rest of the central defenders available, such as Matthijs de Ligt and Toby Alderweireld.

Here at talkSPORT.com we have everything you need to know about the defender.

Where did Stoke sign him from?

Collins joined Stoke in June 2017 from Irish club Cherry Orchard and has been with the club ever since.

He has also played for the Republic of Ireland at the under-17 European championship.

3

What have his coaches said about him?

“I wouldn’t have put him on the bench if he wasn’t ready,” Stoke boss Nathan Jones told the Stoke Sentinel. “We have enough senior pros here we could have played without a problem, but I have no problem with picking him because he’s been in that vein of form.”

“He’s trained with us and we were always looking to give him a game before the end of the season because he’s earned that.

“He’s been excellent in training and how he’s done stuff and when he came on at Swansea he didn’t look out of place in any way, shape or form. That’s the confidence of the lad.

“There are certain things he still has to learn and do well, but the future is bright for the boy. He’s only 17 and that’s wonderful for us. Age is not an issue.”

Outgoing academy director Gareth Jennings had said at the start of the season: “He’s been doing well in that under-23s environment and I don’t think it’s beyond him to get around the first team.

“I look at clubs in League One and League Two and he is already better than some defenders at that level.”

Why do Manchester United want him?

Collins was recommended to the Red Devils by Darren Fletcher who believes the young centre-back is a star in the making.

Fletcher spent 12 and a half seasons with the club where he won five Premier League titles.

Family history

His father, Dave Collins, was on the books at Liverpool before spells at Wigan and Oxford United while his uncle, Eammon Collins, played for Southampton and Portsmouth among others.

Arsenal 2-0 Napoli: Aaron Ramsey on target as Gunners seal impressive Europa League win

Aaron Ramsey was in fine form as Arsenal took control of their Europa League quarter-final tie with Napoli as they outclassed their Italian opponents to secure a comfortable 2-0 first-leg victory.

The Gunners extended their fine run of home form, this their 15th win from the last 16 games at the Emirates Stadium, as an Ramsey strike and a Kalidou Koulibaly own goal gave them a welcome lead to take to Naples next week.

Gunners boss Unai Emery had admitted on the eve of the game that he knew his team needed to win this first leg, given the stark contrast of their away form when compared to the near-perfect run at home.

They have lost both away knockout ties in this season’s Europa League to BATE Borisov and Rennes, two teams not considered as strong as Napoli – who sit second in Serie A.

Arsenal managed to turn both of those ties around when back in north London but this time they need to defend an advantage as they look to reach the semi-finals for the second year in a row.

The hosts started well and enjoyed plenty of possession as both Ramsey and Ainsley Maitland-Niles saw efforts blocked by Koulibaly as they pushed for an early goal.

Emery’s side made their good start count as Ramsey opened the scoring following a flowing move, latching onto a Maitland-Niles pass after good work by Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette.

The lead was doubled 11 minutes later as Lucas Torreira had the wherewithal to steal possession from Fabian Ruiz and charge at the Napoli goal before his weak shot was diverted past goalkeeper Alex Meret off the leg of Koulibaly.

Arsenal continued to create chances, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang twice drawing saves off of Meret as the first half wore on, although fit-again captain Lorenzo Insigne passed up a fine opportunity to half the deficit as he blazed over before the interval.

The visitors responded to their poor first-half showing as they attacked from the off after the break, Insigne tucking away a chance only to be correctly flagged offside before Koulibaly saw a header tipped over by Petr Cech.

Arsenal were still creating chances of their own and – following a short-corner routine – Ramsey stung the palms of Meret before Nacho Monreal headed the resulting corner over the crossbar.

With the game more end-to-end than in the first 45 minutes, Dries Mertens failed to connect with a header after Insigne played him in over the top of the Arsenal defence.

With Napoli coming more and more into the game, Emery responded by replacing Ozil and Lacazette with Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan for the final quarter of the contest.

Iwobi was involved immediately, starting a counter-attack which resulted in Maitland-Niles drawing another save out of Meret following a marauding run from Sead Kolasinac.

Napoli then missed their best chance of the night as Piotr Zielinski could only send Insigne’s low cross over Petr Cech’s crossbar from close-range.

Ramsey was next to spurn a marvellous opportunity as he spooned Mkhitaryan’s cross well over the bar after being picked out free inside the Napoli box, with Aubameyang hitting the side-netting late on.

The visitors attacked in the dying stages in an attempt to get an away goal but Arsenal stood firm and head to the San Paolo Stadium as the favourites to advance to the last four.

Football: VAR to be used in Nations League finals week, says Uefa

LONDON (REUTERS) - Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be used at this week's Uefa Nations League finals in Portugal, Europe's soccer governing body Uefa said on Monday (June 3).
VAR, which allows incidents to be reviewed with the help of video replays, was used at last year's World Cup in Russia and this season's Champions League knockout stages and will also be part of the English Premier League from next season.
Uefa briefed the coaches of Nations League semi-finalists Portugal, England, Switzerland and the Netherlands about VAR in April and England manager Gareth Southgate has welcomed its use in the competition.
"You'll never get a system that is 100 per cent fail-safe but the key decisions that are clear and obvious have been rectified," Southgate said. "My feeling... is that in the main the big decisions have been right."
The main criticisms of VAR are the amount of time it takes for decisions to be reviewed and that fans inside the stadium are left in the dark while the referee looks at replays on the sidelines.
Netherlands coach Ronaldo Koeman said the system still had room for improvement.
"VAR is a good help to make football fairer and most of the mistakes will be corrected. That of course is a good thing," Koeman said.

 
"We must realise, however, that discussions will continue to exist, because you can often interpret actions in multiple ways. I am in favour of the VAR tackling the big, obvious issues only, rather than to search endlessly for potential errors."
England face the Netherlands in the Nations League semi-finals on June 6, a day after hosts Portugal play Switzerland in the first semi-final.
