Leicester 0-0 Southampton April 27. 2018



Mark Hughes took some encouragement from the fact he's collected his first point as Southampton manager and ended the club's run of four consecutive league defeats, yet this is a time of the season when he desires successes instead of draws to enhance Saints' survival prospects. Against a Leicester side who have lost their way, Southampton played a curious lack of vision and urgency, summed up by Hughes's choice to substitute 1 striker with another at a point in the match when the travelling supporters were able to believe he would throw caution to the wind and chase the win which could have cranked up the pressure on Swansea, in 17th place. Strangely Southampton looked like they had been content to settle for the draw that leaves them four points adrift of safety matches remaining.

Claude Puel, who was sacked at the end of last season, has won just four of his last 17 league games and there were times here when it was hard to work out exactly what his players tried to do. Asked whether it was a point gained or two lost, Hughes replied: "We do not know yet. We will have to wait until the end of the season to find out whether that's an important point one way or another. I think given it is a positive. Performance-wise, I don't think we got anywhere near the amount that we showed against Arsenal and Chelsea, but we did not get any points from these games." There appeared to be no desire for Southampton to strike in the final stages, even with intent.

'ÄúIt's like for like because Shane Long had an enormous effort against Chelsea, he was obviously flagging when we took off him," Hughes said. "It was a little bit of a twist or stand scenario, to be perfectly honest. The value of taking something should not be underestimated. But we are going to get which we have where we are just going to need to throw everything at it. Maybe tonight was not the case for it." Southampton did have a few good chances either side of the period and fell to Long. The Republic of Ireland ended up doing neither and wasted the first after he was caught in two minds as to whether to take or pass. His chance ended the Leicester goalkeeper, with Ben Hamer, dashing out of his line to create as Long turned to spear a try at 32, an instinctive save. agen judi bola



Kelechi Iheanacho put an opportunity broad but Leicester had to wait until the 69th minute, when Jamie Vardy volley from Marc Albrighton's pass was tipped by Alex McCarthy, due to their effort that was decent. It is five home league matches without a win for Leicester. "It's a shame but the operation was OK," Puel said. The performances of Napoli have faded over the last six weeks, yet for grinding out results, their capacity has suffered. Five of their nine goals are scored inside the last 10 minutes.
When Lorenzo Insigne flicked a Christian Maggio cross into Milik's route in the 91st minute, the storyline seemed set. Six meters out, the striker took aim at the corner: the choice when confronting a keeper as tall. The adolescent pushed the ball and dropped to his left. Occasionally even no goals could be amazing. Not for Napoli, obviously, not to the title race and not even for a Milan staff whose winless run may put their Europa League place in jeopardy and has cost them a shot at the Champions League.

Højbjerg's Time In Southampton Has Been Stop-Start April 27. 2018



Wenger joined the club he has been there ever since, and so have I, than any other manager in history through two stadiums, three league titles, two championships and FA Cup victories. My life has been dominated by the guy for better and for worse. He's one will have. However, the only relief is brought by the news of his death. A relief since the previous 10 decades of his 22 in Arsenal has felt like a slow reduction for a club used to hard for the title - lifting it about every decade typically. But relief since it has come with three home games to come. Where than Wenger Out hints, rows of chairs and grumbling, the Arsenal faithful may give the man three games in the stadium he helped to construct.

But what I will remember as he leaves would be Patrick Vieira in Highbury's appearance, a month earlier Wenger joined the club, but very much his signing. A beautiful herald of what was to come. This 1998 streak of victories, marrying the five that are back using an attacking style that took England by storm, ending in the emblem of-course. A pass from Steve Bould through to Tony Adams to wrap the title up against Everton. He will be remembered for leading a side unbeaten through an entire season, and 49 league games in total, as he should, but early-Wenger's accomplishments go farther. The nation has ever seen, from unearthing gems like Cesc Fàbregas and Nicolas Anelka for nothing to prolonging the professions of the best unit. agen sbobet



Arsenal fans won't forget or dismiss the stasis the club appears to have been in since the arena move, but Wenger still leaves the club in a powerful position. A squad that a supervisor might have the ability to draw out more of, money rich, possibly even a path back into the Champions League's land. And what a way to finish his time in the club. A final, in France, a victory not only a return throughout his time at the club to Europe's top table to the club, but also a first for Wenger. It would be soccer fans at large - and a fitting reward for a man who brought so much pleasure to Arsenal fans. We might be happy he is leaving, but that should not stop him cheering one final time. Bayern was a boon, the making of Højbjerg, however, there also have been instances when the club has felt like a curse.

Højbjerg's time in Southampton has been stop-start. He had been in and out of the lineup under Claude Puel and in favor entirely beneath Mauricio Pellegrino at the beginning of this season. He didn't feature until he began when he had been the man of the match, the 4-1 home win over Everton on 26 November. Since then he's been in every squad - at the starting XI than from it - and he's played all but two minutes of Mark Hughes's first five games. Højbjerg is obsessed with studying in good times and bad and he states that he worked "like I had never worked before" to convince Pellegrino to reinstate him. "It is odd to say but I actually loved it," Højbjerg adds. "I loved pushing myself to the limit and farther. It is a journey of learning and getting better."
