Introduction and Guests
00:00:09
Jamie
Hello and welcome to the Daily Brighton Podcast. It's your boy Jamie G. I'm joined by blessing Chabamba and Joe Richardson. The trio is together. it's We're together on a great day after an amazing weekend.
Victory Against Bournemouth
00:00:28
Jamie
Joe, Brighton beat Bournemouth away from home 2-1. What did you make of the game?
00:00:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, we showed them um what a proper seaside is, apparently. um But to be honest, we actually weren't really, Bournemouth were really good, I thought.
00:00:38
Jamie
yeah
00:00:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
We weren't amazing, but like I said in the crossover podcast with um the Bournemouth lads, or the Bournemouth lad, I did say that we needed to be a bit mature and with, apart from belabour, I thought it was actually a very mature performance.
00:00:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I'm happy about it, to be honest. I can't really complain.
00:01:03
Jamie
Yeah, bless we're sat in fifth now. How are you feeling? ah These Champions League spots are there for the taking.
00:01:10
blessings
Yeah, to know what, I'm i'm getting comfortable. i'm I'm getting very comfortable in these numbers. yeah I mean, I opened the Premier League up to see where we are. I don't have to scroll at all. i mean And that's what large should be about.
00:01:24
Jamie
It's actually getting a bit boring, you know, going into these game weeks and thinking, this is probably just going to be another win. That's what I'm feeling about these games. I'm going into every game confident that we're actually going to come away with at least one point, if not all three.
00:01:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
mate when we started this and being blessed before you come along Jamie when me and blessed with doing our practice pods at the end of last season and it was looking a bit bleak when we were coming into this one I was thinking mate Thank I don't want to be looking at no no draws and reviewing no no draws like do you know what I mean but every week mate we're just here talking about daddy well back talking about this wind talking about
00:01:56
Jamie
Yeah.
00:01:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
you. Beating city mate. It's actually glorious.
Resilience and Defensive Maturity
00:02:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I look well, I'm gonna start twerking in a minute, man It is unbelievable.
00:02:10
Jamie
and
00:02:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hey, honestly, this job is so easy
00:02:13
Jamie
yeah it Yeah, I actually feel for like the Ipswich boys, the Southampton boys after keep reviewing.
00:02:20
blessings
No, you're doing people out now making true people out I
00:02:24
Jamie
Yeah. You have to keep reviewing losses after losses. Here we are. I mean, we've got an easy win coming up as well. We've got to do a crossover pod. We can probably roast them a bit. Playing Southampton next. I mean, there should be a yet another three points.
00:02:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is a villain, mate.
00:02:45
Jamie
yeah
00:02:49
Jamie
Yeah.
00:03:01
Jamie
ah wow ah this like joe said to be fair This was our worst performanceishsh i mean it not worse performance. but it was We were outdone statistically. They had 19 shots to our 6. They had 5 shots on target to our 4. 55% possession to 45% possession.
00:03:23
Jamie
it wasn't our best performance but the way like you said maturity to come away with all three points is something that we are like it's good to see.
00:03:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% mate. If you look at like historically over the years, if you look at that sort of I would say probably even third, like all the way down to eighth-ish. You have to remember that like the teams in the top like the top teams, they're consistently winning all the time sort of thing. you don't It's not like that in those positions there. They're sort of consistently inconsistent in a way. They go on a run, but then they can go on a bad run.
00:04:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
and the the away games is what all of the other teams that are around us are going to be looking at oh they could drop points there especially like when we so when we go to Fulham after Southampton I'm pretty sure it's Fulham away after Southampton um when we go to Fulham away all the other teams around us are going to be looking like they could drop points there
00:04:12
blessings
Thank you.
00:04:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But to go with 10 men and you go and play them and then like, I mean, the result they've beat they've beaten Arsenal, Man City and drawn to Aston Villa, I think, in their last three games or something mad like that. So to go to there and get all three points with 10 men is ah is a pretty pretty insane little feat, to be fair.
00:04:47
Jamie
Yeah, I mean, we had 10 men for what was it, like half an hour, and the defending that we showed to keep them out for all that time by one chance, I mean, that that just shows ah levels that the shows what we've been saying before in the past, bless, after these pods, where we can kind of play both ways now, where we can dominate the ball, we can keep possession, but then we also have shown the ability like we did against Newcastle,
00:05:16
Jamie
to defend and see how it came.
00:05:19
blessings
Yeah, I think I'd say my main concern when Hertzer came in and brought this type of football where it's a bit expensive, we want to play out from the back. um And looking at the squad being quite young, I thought we'd be quite flimsy at times. I thought when the going gets tough, we could, you know, crack under pressure. um But they're proving, you know, that they're made out of something, you know what I mean? that That performance against Bournemouth, some of the defending was brilliant, Van van Heck,
00:05:46
blessings
absolute steal defending at the back. Even some of the boys that we've um criticized a lot in the past are stupid and you looked okay. um So we're really, really proven that we can actually hold our own at times and defend when we have to. And it's not all about um the pretty football, which we love, um but we can actually do the the basics and actually dig in and defend and keep a lead.
00:06:11
Jamie
Yeah, one thing I kind of got from the game is it seemed like we, they had a lot more of the ball, they had a lot more of the chances, but I think the quality when we need it was there. So we had that with our finishes. We were way more clinical. We looked like we created better chances, although there were fewer chances. I don't know whether you agree or disagree with that, Jo.
00:06:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
um to To be fair, if you they've had they a goal, it wasn't one or two goals this allowed, two.
00:06:46
Jamie
Yeah, they had to go this way on the first half, yeah, the off point.
00:06:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Evan Ilsen, that was close, that was very close. um To be fair, like this if the semenia one goes in at the end, what are you going to do, mate?
00:06:58
Jamie
Yeah.
00:06:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's literally, I was going to say a bad word then, but he's literally volleyed it from the edge of the box, mate. What are you going to do, mate? You can't even say, I'll close him down. Everyone's in a box, mate. Even Kepa's in there, mate.
00:07:09
blessings
yeah
00:07:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
But they did have a few chances where I thought maybe a bit better decision-making. For example, when Evan also went one-on-one and decided to shoot, um he's literally just clucking for a goal. So he just pulled the trigger.
00:07:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sameno's actually right there. um But I just think it's the the way that we fashioned out our chances was a lot, especially the first goal. The second goal was just a moment of pure brilliance, but especially the first goal. It's like 2009 Barcelona, mate. I was initially like this on my screen. that's going like and so the Hell of a man just passing the ball around, man.
00:07:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's insane, man.
00:07:49
Jamie
yeah
00:07:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, ive I think ah think they had more jobs than some of them were actually decent. But yeah, you're right.
00:07:55
Jamie
a
00:07:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think that sort of that quality edge, I think, is what maybe tipped the scale for us.
00:08:00
Jamie
Yeah, and Joe transitioned to our next point perfectly. in we In this next segment, we will be talking about the goals that we scored and some of our star performance.
Clinical Finishes and Key Plays
00:08:42
Jamie
And we are back with the Daily Brighton podcast. ah We are here to talk about the two goals Joe just creased into himself for ruining his whole set there.
00:08:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sorry.
00:08:55
Jamie
Don't know what you were doing with your mic there, Joe, but there we go.
00:08:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man, I didn't know that my mic extended like that. I actually did not have a clue, mate. I'm sorry. um was like like but I was just like pushing it, and I felt it going, and I was like, no way.
00:09:03
blessings
What what's hard to do
00:09:05
Jamie
yeah
00:09:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it extends bare high.
00:09:09
Jamie
yeah
00:09:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
Look at this, mate.
00:09:11
Jamie
it is
00:09:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Boom. Look at that, mate.
00:09:14
Jamie
That's talent.
00:09:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
A bit wonky. Not good at all.
00:09:15
Jamie
ah Yeah, I don't know how you did that while reading the ads.
00:09:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right, sorry. Continue.
00:09:19
Jamie
I mean, the multitasking there is What can you say?
00:09:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Ugh. This is insane, man. This is what I do, man.
00:09:22
Jamie
teacher
00:09:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
This is what I do.
00:09:24
Jamie
but ah Let's talk about the goals. that You mentioned it, Jo. It was like watching Prime Barcelona, that first goal. Jow Pedro on the rebound, but the build-up play for it. Oh, the chop, the little flick behind to Danny Welbeck, then Danny Welbeck into Rooter, and then the tap from One Touch Football into Pedro, the shot from outside the box, the follow in the run. Poetry in motion is the word that comes to mind.
00:09:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
bless it as a tapping merchant like yourself I actually like to hear your thoughts first just because this isn't really your bag this isn't really your vibe of a goal but I mean it is a tapping but like the bit before it isn't really like your thing so
00:10:08
Jamie
ah Yeah.
00:10:09
blessings
No I'm so happy it's come to me because that that was very satisfying watching that and firstly before I go into it that that shot from Ruta as well and the link up unbelievable which I'm sure I'll let you expand on that bit Joe but as a striker what we want to see is being in the box and following in keeping up with the play and my god it's satisfying when you've
00:10:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:10:35
blessings
you know You've got the open goal and you just rolled it in. that's yeah It's a very good goal, I think. and Everyone will say it's a tap-in, but you know you've got to have yeah you've got to have those um instincts to actually make it in there.
00:10:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
You can go be there, mate.
00:10:49
blessings
I've often spoke about Jal Pedro sort of not having that, but maybe being the player who's going to create situations like that. But at the moment, he's shown me that he can do both. um Very satisfying goal for me.
00:11:01
blessings
Loved it.
00:11:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
mate uh i don't i don't even know where to start to be honest with you the first of all the stream i don't know if i'm allowed to say this but the stream that i was watching it on right because we're not watching it on skysports are we let's be honest um the stream that i was watching it on mate i think the goal broke my stream because as soon as jar Pedro wheeled off my stream just cut out mate i literally couldn't find a another stream for like 15 minutes um But when, if you actually, I'll sort of like break it down a little bit, if you look at the link up play.
00:11:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
Jal Pedro, I think, is the second ball that gets received. So it gets into Wellbeck first, then Jal Pedro flicks, and then I'm pretty sure it goes to Ruto 1-2 with Wellbeck, and then Ruto shoots, um sort of thing.
00:11:42
Jamie
yeah
00:11:45
Jamie
yeah
00:11:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
And if you actually watch the sort of bigger picture, Jal Pedro is making the run into the box. the not So not the first pass into, not so when the pass goes into Welbeck and he lays it off to Ruto who then shoots, that pass into Welbeck is when Jar Pedro starts running into the box.
00:12:04
Jamie
Yeah. Mhmm.
00:12:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
he I think he's looking for a pass, but that movement in there is exactly the reason why he's there to tap it in. because he's made that run and obviously all the defenders are sort of looking over going oh look at that football over there it's decent and then the balls just come over and they're like wait hold on he's there now and ah it's just that that like asset of his game that sort of like the predatory instinct is something that it maybe was one of the only things where we've sort of sort of spoke about his all-round game being unbelievable but that is sort of something that you're not really
00:12:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's instinctive, but you do also have to sort of learn to sort of Anticipate where those positions are gonna be and he's so young that that can come naturally if he adds tap ins to his game, it's gonna be insane yeah Imagine the peas that we're gonna get the Because Massey are desperate, right?
00:12:50
Jamie
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
00:12:59
Jamie
did yeah
00:13:03
Jamie
yeah
00:13:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Real Madrid Mbappe is not working mate. Get Ciao Pedro in love.
00:13:10
Jamie
teach it
00:13:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Obviously, I don't want him to go but like 100 Yeah, right how much did you say?
00:13:13
Jamie
sounds like you don't sounds like you want 80 million million
00:13:14
blessings
Yeah, I was going to say, don't take them on, mate.
00:13:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, add 40, man.
00:13:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man, give it, man.
00:13:24
Jamie
and
00:13:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
You can have it in Euros if you want, man. I don't know how much that is.
00:13:27
Jamie
yeah
00:13:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Man, it's just unbelievable, man. It's just great football and it's just fluid.
00:13:30
Jamie
No.
00:13:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
You don't see it a lot because it's so hard to do at the top level.
00:13:35
Jamie
Yeah.
00:13:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
you like You're probably more likely to see it at a lower level with a good team at a lower level than you are to see it with two teams at the highest level, but it's just unbelievable to watch.
00:13:46
Jamie
Yeah. It's because they played it around them like they weren't even there. like These are Premier League defenders that are quick, instinctive, know where every kind of read the game so well that these kind of moves are usually impossible.
00:13:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:14:02
Jamie
But this two-touch football that we saw is it kind of exactly what I thought we were going to see when potentially the last ah reaction video that we did where I said should we play ah router and Pedro together and what can we expect this is exactly the kind of goal I expected two of them are so good on the ball they have such good close control such good touches the way that they can kind of play off each other tap it to each other
00:14:24
blessings
Thank you.
00:14:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:14:31
Jamie
And then the pass and movement is basically everything you want to be or everything you teach when you're so young. And that's what the beauty of it was. Is Zhao Pedro, like you said, he dropped off looking for the pass from Welbeck. Ruta got it instead. Then he moved to try and get a layoff from Ruta. Didn't get that. Carried on his move, looking for a cross into the box by Ruta. Didn't get that because Ruta had an unbelievable shot. And then they got the tap in at the end.
00:14:59
Jamie
His movement for that goal was basically everything.
00:15:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% right.
00:15:04
blessings
Yeah, and that's I think it's testament to where they've got up to. I think Hertz has got them to a place where they know each other's games so, so well. And even the second goal, I'm sure we'll delve into that. Even the so second goal is sort of an example of that. Like, they all sort of just, you can tell that they're just very comfortable and they sort of know what everyone's going to do in a certain situation. And obviously, if you add star quality like Jarpedro, then yeah, I mean, curtains.
00:15:32
Jamie
Yeah, let's talk about the second goal, because it was Zhao Pedro once again that laid it off to Metoma, who then finished it bottom corner. Lovely finish, by the way. But yeah, Joe, what did you make of that goal?
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know.
00:15:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I said in the crossover pod with with Dom that if you because he tried to put just a cliver in and it combined the leaveness of Jal Pedro and that's actually outrageous claim.
00:15:56
blessings
Yeah, that's criminal, that's
00:15:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um and ah I understand when your whole sort of like when you know so much about your own club like I get it but there is a a whole new world and there's bare ballers out there mate and Jal Pedro is a star mate if you line them all up but he's literally the best player in terms of star quality that there is out of all of them.
00:15:58
Jamie
no
00:15:59
blessings
good
00:16:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And if you... actually I actually want to take a step away from Jalpo for two seconds and actually go back to a conversation that me and Bless had where we were talking about Matoma being a little bit more potent.
00:16:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
And as a winger, there is absolutely no nothing more dangerous to have in your arsenal than the outside to in-run. The outside to in-run is insane. because if you go and watch it back, I think it's, I don't know who their number 15 is.
00:16:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know if it's Sonesi or Zabani. It might, oh, it's Adam Smith, yeah.
00:16:45
blessings
um Adam Smith.
00:16:47
Jamie
Yeah.
00:16:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
So Adam Smith isn't even looking at where Matej Meru is. He doesn't know he's there because he's running in his but in his blind spot. He's running behind him, past him in his blind spot to get to the position that he needs to go to. And then if you, again, go back and look at it, Danny Welbeck has obviously been playing the target man the whole game. So I'm pretty sure it's Zabani has literally followed him as. ah So Welbeck is in the way of the pass path of where it's going to go.
00:17:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Danny Welbeck is sort of shifting over to the left side towards Motoma, which takes Zabani out of that space. And then the pass from Japedra is just there. And it is a it is a very good finish. But again, it's just like those sort of finite things, the movement, the sort of dragging people out of position. And then Japedra can do that.
00:17:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
all the time mate so when when it all clicks like that that's both goals are so good in their own in their own right and you just look you do literally you just love to see it you just love to see it
00:17:49
Jamie
Yeah the understanding of Zhao Pedro and Metoma as well because he kind of just gives it like you see Metoma kind of waits for the pass to feet and then Zhao Pedro like goes to kind of play it kind of stops doesn't play it and then just kind of looks up and then Metoma just knows on my bike behind this defender and then that's into the gap
00:18:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:18:12
Jamie
And that was what I think they are just so on the same page and that's only like playing with each other for a season now. Oh, that's just I guess the the football IQ of both players.
00:18:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's unbelievable.
00:18:26
blessings
Yeah, and I think um with Jean Pedro coming back, I think we will see better performances from Matoma. Obviously, it's quite easy to say that because he's assisted and Matoma scored, but I think having the double threat in that area might sort of release Matoma a little bit more and he might have a bit of space and then we can see that speed.
00:18:35
Jamie
Yeah.
00:18:45
blessings
So it sort of just raises at the moment, I think.
00:18:50
Jamie
Yeah, I think on that point, I think this you are right in terms of thinking this is going to get the best out of Metoma because Metoma can't now be one of like doubled up on or he now has like that goal.
00:19:03
Jamie
Adam Smith was isolated on him and Adam Smith potentially not the greatest fallback, but he is just
00:19:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe the worst. but so Allegedly, I don't know.
00:19:10
Jamie
take it Okay, according to some, ah a he just has no idea he's there and that's where he can kind of just get in behind or he can be one-on-one with whichever fallback he's against because you need more players to be in the middle to cover the runs of Metoma or cover Ruta or whoever it might be, even Welbeck nowadays.
00:19:13
blessings
I've had some words.
00:19:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
The absolute mate.
00:19:35
Jamie
the joke.
00:19:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Honestly.
00:19:37
Jamie
I'm surprised Bles didn't mention him for the first goal about how good he was.
00:19:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, I agree.
00:19:41
blessings
no
00:19:41
Jamie
It was all about Pedro for the first goal with well but-played his part as well.
00:19:45
blessings
Yeah, no, I mean, that guy was continues to lead the team, and I think I've said enough about Danny Welbeck. I think at the moment I'm taking a ah seat and just enjoying it. Just enjoy it. Just enjoy it before he retires. Just enjoy it.
00:19:59
Jamie
and that is right and we will be talking about some honorable mentions in the next segment about some players that we other players we were impressed by because we could wax lyrical about Zhao Pedro all day but there were some other star performers as well and we'll also touch on Bournemouth's goal.
Controversy Over Red Card
00:20:44
Jamie
Before we touch on the Bournemouth goal, there was obviously a big moment in the game and that was the Carlos Beliba red card. We have differing opinions on that red card. ah Joe, give me your opinion first.
00:21:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
um I think it's incredibly harsh. ah The first one to be fair is just stupid because he doesn't need to do it because he's got two covering. um The second one I think is just like, I mean, they've both gone for the ball in there and I think he's like grazed his shoelace and he's just rolling around on the floor.
00:21:18
Jamie
Mm.
00:21:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I mean, what are you supposed to do, mate? I just don't think it's a yellow card if he's not on a yellow card.
00:21:26
Jamie
Yeah.
00:21:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know. The ref's making it all about himself, innit?
00:21:29
Jamie
he said And it's all still fans.
00:21:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, bye.
00:21:32
Jamie
Cravat.
00:21:34
Jamie
Bless. You disagree?
00:21:36
blessings
Yeah, I looked at it a bit differently. I think he is late because I can't remember what born flare was it, whoever it was.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
daca
00:21:45
Jamie
Oh, Karkas.
00:21:45
blessings
um Yeah, Kirk has got to the ball first, he's released it and then and then believe it sort of made contact with him. It's one of them. I think once you're on the ah yellow card, you run, you just run the risk.
00:21:59
blessings
And I think sometimes referees are waiting for you to do it. um And then you're booked. And I think If that's not given the Bournemouth bench, I think it's right in front of the Bournemouth bench there would be kicking off to be fair.
00:22:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Who cares if they kick it off, mate? Who cares, mate?
00:22:15
blessings
No, but like if it was the other way around, if it was the other way around, we'd be wanting that. We'd be wanting off.
00:22:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, yeah, but it's a bias and we support the team.
00:22:22
Jamie
yeah
00:22:23
blessings
Arrested.
00:22:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah but Also, I feel like it's how Kirk has released the ball. He's incredibly sus considering he's flipped a toe now at it.
00:22:31
Jamie
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's just trying to he's just trying to he's not release it to anyone, mate. He's just...
00:22:34
blessings
Yeah, but he's got there first.
00:22:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Go,
00:22:36
blessings
He's got there first. One believer's got there. The ball is not even there. Do you know what I mean? It's not a horrible challenge, but he's late, in my opinion.
00:22:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
go.
00:22:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
We've got a Kirk S fan over here, mate.
00:22:45
Jamie
yeah
00:22:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Why don't you go kiss him, mate?
00:22:47
blessings
I don't even know his name at the start.
00:22:48
Jamie
it keep yeah
00:22:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
What are your thoughts, Gary, quick?
00:22:53
Jamie
well this is Well, this is where my arse is hurting because I'm sitting on the fence big time. um comes start
00:22:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
oh I was about to say, what are you going on about this time, mate? Why is your ass hurting, mate?
00:23:05
Jamie
what yeah
00:23:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Every week, mate.
00:23:09
Jamie
this is
00:23:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, dude.
00:23:11
Jamie
it's Always some sus comment. ah Yeah, I've got splinters because I think
00:23:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is, man.
00:23:19
Jamie
I can see the first one, fair enough, that so that's a tactical fail. That was obviously a yellow. The second one, I can see like I'm more leaning towards it was harsh, but then I can see also you can't be charging in at that pace for like when you are already on a yellow. Like I, but then also Kirk has, it's a 50-50 and yeah, like you say, get releasing it is a big point he doesn't release it just kicks it away and then believer barely touches him but then yeah i just the problem with i think with believer is i've called him the bulldozer for like last seven weeks he's not a bulldozer he's a bull in a china shop ah he is rash but also brilliant and also an absolute monster because he's conceded two penalties and i think he's had two red cards this season
00:24:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's a To be fair mate, if you lean any further you're going to fall off the fence mate.
00:24:18
blessings
yeah
00:24:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
So yeah, I can see it.
00:24:24
Jamie
But. But yeah, it was that um one question I have for you, Joe, is do you think that red card changed the game? Because the stats here, in the first half, the shots were the same. Well, they had six shots. We had four. We had more possession in the first half. The XG was 0.5 each. The second half is where things turned around. They had 63% possession. They had 1.2 expected goals, 13 shots to our two.
00:24:57
Jamie
and 37% possession. Do you think that red card was changed it a lot or do you feel like they were just better than us all game?
00:25:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think it was a bit of a crux for them as well as being, I think it gave them control but I think the quality of their chances subsided quite heavily after the the red card because we did sort of just sort of, we didn't necessarily sit back but we got into shape it was very disciplined, very regimented and I think it sort of stifled their chances their chance creation quality a little bit. um In terms of, you can see obviously the stats are sort of, they sort of
00:25:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
paint you a picture, because in the first half, we had a bit more possession. In the second half, they had quite a lot more possession than us. So when when you put it like that, you can sort of see that, yeah, OK, they gained control of the game. They were sort of able to dictate what was going on. But then the chances that they created weren't that great. So ah think I think actually it actually technically worked against them, because they had better chances with but when when we had another man. But um it did give them it did give them a bit of a hold on it.
00:26:10
Jamie
Yeah, ah bless is this where we go back to how good we were defensively and mentioned some honorable mentions of who defended well.
00:26:18
blessings
Yeah, I think i'll I'll stop the goalkeeper again. I think in the last couple of weeks, I've been mentioning his name quite a lot. And again, you I thought he was excellent. He didn't have to make too many saves, if I remember correctly. But the saves that he did have to make were really good saves. And it's just nice, I think, having a keeper you can rely on. Because we've seen a lot of dodgy goalkeeping in the Premier League this season.
00:26:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, there's not been very many good ones. I'll tell you that.
00:26:48
blessings
McAfee, imagine having imagine up them in the net.
00:26:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God.
00:26:50
Jamie
Yeah,
00:26:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mate, he spilled a ball about nine times before it reached him and there was no strikers in front of him.
00:26:58
Jamie
he
00:27:01
blessings
that
00:27:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's tapped it. He's tapped it like that.
00:27:03
Jamie
yeah
00:27:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
That was that he's pony, mate. He needs to when when the football leave the football for the football leaves you, man, honestly.
00:27:06
Jamie
but
00:27:09
Jamie
is it
00:27:10
blessings
yeah so would you
00:27:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:27:10
Jamie
Hopefully he's only got stars as well.
00:27:11
blessings
but When you see teams go through things like that, you've got to be just thankful you've got like a solid keeper because like, um yeah, wet conditions as well as the Storm Burt, was it?
00:27:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I don't know, but it wasn't even mad, lad.
00:27:24
Jamie
yeah
00:27:25
blessings
Storm Burt cutting about, mate, so it's tough being a goalkeeper, but yeah, Honorable mentioned that to the program.
00:27:26
Jamie
he
00:27:32
Jamie
Yeah, well i I actually think he is class. like He, every time, 100%, I mean, he's already playing for Belgium, isn't oh no, Netherlands, isn't it?
00:27:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
It'll be a top goalkeeper.
00:27:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
The Netherlands, yeah.
00:27:43
Jamie
um And he played in the Nations League as well. ah But I think he every time he's called upon, he delivers. like He makes so many big saves.
00:27:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
and
00:27:53
Jamie
I would actually say he is one of the best keepers in the league, like like you said.
00:27:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
100% shout out to his mentality as well for um sort of being in that roulette with deserby and actually like being like okay like ah I'll just earn my way in that's massive mentality for a young player mentality is such a big thing as to how far you're gonna go he has the ability but once you have that mindset where it's like you're not gonna throw your toys out the pram
00:28:09
Jamie
Yeah.
Defensive Praise and Future Outlook
00:28:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
sort of thing. um For example, apparently as we were talking about Southampton and we're playing them, I didn't know this but apparently Tyler Diblin, the one that was twisting up with Liverpool players, apparently he actually played for Chelsea and then um he signed for Chelsea, he got homesick and then went back to Southampton.
00:28:30
Jamie
Yeah, yeah.
00:28:39
blessings
that I don't know what I'm laughing about.
00:28:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
so yeah so So that sort of mentality is like, that's what makes the monsters main, that's what makes the wonder kids.
00:28:50
Jamie
ah Joe, who were you impressed by?
00:28:50
blessings
yeah
00:28:51
Jamie
Didn't you say a Veltman and Estepinian as well?
00:28:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Joao and Estepinha, I've seen Estepinha edits on my TikTok. I didn't think I'd be seeing that, mate. Honestly, ah right obviously've I've seen Estepinha edits, I thought he was decent. Joao Veltman, just he just it surprises me so much, mate, because I genuinely think I could beat him in a foot race.
00:29:17
Jamie
yeah
00:29:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I understand the positioning must be insane, mate, because he doesn't.
00:29:19
Jamie
and
00:29:22
Jamie
Yeah.
00:29:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
And the thing is, is that he annoys attackers so much that it actually affects their performance. Like it's mental because he should be getting twists up by literally like 75% of the wiggers in our league.
00:29:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
right and he's just not mate he's just solid lad it's mad i did cuss him out and start i knew a lot but like no i think in he's actually decent and now he's changed my mind mate yeah he's changed my mind man 100 he's he's just such a he's an s house mate i'm not gonna lie he just is you love to see it mate every team's gotta have one
00:29:39
Jamie
ni
00:29:52
Jamie
he said he
00:29:56
Jamie
Yeah, I don't think- Oh, Semenyo had a couple of chances, but against Veltman he didn't really, did he?
00:30:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
no he swapped thinking he'd get hella joy mate he got locked up he's in pen mate
00:30:03
