Everton put together an inspirational performance to beat Manchester City at Goodison Park. They were undoubtedly by far the better team of the afternoon, but Roberto Mancinis tactical errors helped to make David Moyes mi sion to recover from the shocking FA Cup exit easier than thought.Starting Aleksandar KolarovThis had to be the key mistake Roberto Mancini made that cost the match. Two clean sheets in a row with Gael Clichy starting at left back was not convincing enough. Instead, the Italian chose to start Kolarov, a decision maybe only Seamus Coleman would agree. Regardle s of whether Mancini https://www.shopproflyers.com/philadelphia-flyers-kids-jersey was playing a 4-3-1-2 or 3-4-1-2, Kolarov obviously is far from capable to defend the flank on his own, let alone in such a physical clash.While James Milner and Pablo Zabaleta were able to quiet Steven Pienaar and Leighton Baines, an identified strength of Evertons attack, Kevin Mirallas and Seamus Coleman had an enjoyable afternoon torturing the Serbian defender. Mirallas nearly caught Kolarov retreating late following a cro s, only to be ruled offside questionably. Seamus Coleman was also clinical in the build-up to Leon Osmans fantastic goal. David Silvas lack of incentive to track back made things worse , but Kolarov also looked cluele s and even uninterested in his own defence duty. Having made no contribution in his own strength dead-balls delivery, Kolarov was unarguably the weakest link of Manchester City this afternoon. If Mancini was to complain about all dubious decisions against his team, maybe he should first reflect on this self-destructive decision https://www.shopproflyers.com/shayne-gostisbehere-men-jersey of his own.Porous dead-balls defenceIt is a well-known fact that Everton is more than competent in the air. Coupled with delivery specialists like Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar, corners and freekicks are a threatening weapon of Evertons attack. Roberto Mancini chose to stay with his zonal defence and made no adjustment towards Evertons towering height, despite already mi sing his big men Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure https://www.shopproflyers.com/radko-gudas-men-jersey .None of the conceded goals came directly from freekicks or corners, but City was constantly on the back-foot in dead-balls. Matija Nastasic luckily escaped from a penalty call after Marouane Fellaini controlled the ball with his chest with ease following a corner. Sylvain Distin also narrowly mi sed a clear header in the second half when Toffees was down to 10 men. Although it went unpunished, putting the defenders and goalkeeper under pre sure throughout the match is never ideal.Indecisive and confusing substitutionsJose Mourinho did not think twice to put Luka Modric into the lineup after Nani was sent off. Meanwhile, Mancini wasted 10 minutes before he decided to arm up his attack, and only after Moyes made a counter substitution by bringing in Steven Naismith, while Citys best chance of the day came in that 10 minute interval, which Jan Mucha denied with a super double-save.Choices were far from adequate on the bench and the seldom-used Scott Sinclair was the only forward available. Sinclairs entry was predictable, though maybe a bit late, but taking off Kolo Toure for Gael Clichy in the last ten minutes did not bring any https://www.shopproflyers.com/jakub-voracek-men-jersey real effect to Citys attack. It was unclear what Citys formation was at the final whistle. More importantly, leaving the frustrated Edin Dzeko on the field was questionable. Dzeko had been https://www.shopproflyers.com/travis-konecny-kids-jersey disgusted by referees calls and never linked up with David Silva nor Carlos Tevez. Sometimes, it would not work by merely slotting all your available forwards into the pitch.He maybe better playing rather than managingItalian football is often about strong discipline and measured tactics. Roberto Mancini, being an attacking midfielder himself in his playing career, seems to incline in being creative in his tactical game, which has been criticised not for the first time. Being 15 points away from Manchester United, City looks destined to go through a title-le s season. Debates arise again on whether Roberto Mancini is qualified to be Manchester Citys manager. How likely will he still at Etihad Stadium next season? It is not long until we have the answer.

Leicester City could well secure a double swoop within the https://www.shopprodevils.com/michael-mcleod-jersey next week, as reports state that Nigel Pearson could well end his interest in Hull City defender James Chester, and turn to Sheffield United centre back Harry Maguire instead, as well as continuing his interest in Hull City midfielder Robert Koren. Reports state that Maguire is firmly on the Foxes radar, and a bid could well be submitted for the highly rated 19 year old in the next couple of days. Pearson https://www.shopprodevils.com/marcus-johansson-women-jersey spoke openly of his intentions to bring in a centre back before the 2012/2013 season begins, with Matt Mills and Sol Bamba heading out of the King Power stadium exit door, a purchase in the centre back position is definitely needed for the Foxes. It now seems that Harry Maguire could well be Nigel Pearson https://www.shopprodevils.com/nico-hischier-men-jersey s top defensive target, the 19 year old claimed plenty of accolades at the end of the 2011/2012 season including Sheffield Uniteds player of the season and young player of the season awards.Also despite Steve Bruces intentions of fending off interest for his top players, Leicester City are still in the driving seat to secure the services of Hull City midfielder Robert Koren. Pearson still wants to acquire an attacking midfielder, and Koren is the perfect target. Also only a couple of weeks ago, Koren stated that he https://www.shopprodevils.com/travis-zajac-jersey would be interested in rekindling his relationship with his former manager Nigel Pearson, as Koren worked under the 48 year old at Hull City. Despite being told not to submit bids for the likes of Chester, Liam Rosenior and Cameron Stewart, the Foxes are all set https://www.shopprodevils.com/travis-zajac-men-jersey to submit another bid for Robert Koren, and if negotiations materialise a deal could well be completed within the next two weeks.

I love the thrills and spills of transfer deadline day, even though my team Coventry hardly sign anyone! This transfer window hasnt really seen many world cla s players come to the English Premier League, https://www.shopprocapitals.com/michal-kempny-men-jersey however I feel the race for the title will be even more competitive this season. Every team have strengthened and strengthened well.Premier League new boys Southampton who smashed their transfer record with the signing of Gaston Ramirez of 11.2 million (I think it was) who Im expecting a lot from at that price, however I dont think that their squad is good enough to stay in the Premier League, I dont like saying that either because your fans were great to us last season and I hope Im proved wrong! Letting Billy Sharp for instance go when you need all the players you can get is a very bad move. I hope Im wrong but I see their squad lacking quality and depth. Prediction- 20th Going on to the Canaries who I think might as well be called Leeds United with them signing all their top players, even though they did do well last season, I cant see them repeating that this season as I dont think Chris Hughton will have the same effect and impact as Paul Lambert had on them. I predicted them to go down last season and I was proved wrong, sticking to my instincts though. Prediction 19th The third spot Im going to put my neck out on the line and say Aston Villa, I think their team is poor, especially their https://www.shopprocapitals.com/nicklas-backstrom-men-jersey back four, even thought they have a great striker in Darren Bent who I isnt exactly 100% match fit, also theyve only signed 3 or 4 first team players who I have never seen play, so I no I cant judge but I think Paul Lambert has a big battle on his hands. Prediction -18thOn to the master of survivals in Roberto Martinez who will again escape relegation! Even though they have lost players in Hugo Rodallega and Victor Moses, they have signed a few player in Ivan Ramis and striker Arouna Kone who looks a good signing, so some how they will stay up as, Martinez is a brilliant manager. Hell be gone though to a top team next season. Prediction 17thI did say Reading would get top 10 so I feel bad now as I have changed my mind seeing other teams squads, I think theyll do well with the team theyve got and I dont see them going down they have signed good players in Pavel Pogrebnyak and Danny Guthrie who have Premier League experience and a pacey player in Gareth Mcauley who ran through our defence last season. Prediction 16thThe last of the promoted teams in West Ham who earlier had a comfortable win over Fulham beating them at home 3-0 have made some decent signings in Andy Carroll on loan from Liverpool, the 35 million pound flop has made a good move as the Hammers are very direct and play the long ball so he will suit their style of play. Another good signing is Matt Jarvis who will get the cro ses in the box for Andy Carroll and Carlton Cole to feed off. I think their form will dip when https://www.shopprocapitals.com/devante-smith-pelly-jersey they are away from home so will have a lack of consistency but they will have a good season back in the Premier League. Prediction 15thTo the Potters! Stoke City and the threat of Rory Delaps long throws, I think they are a mid table team now with having experienced in the Premier League over the last few seasons and also having a good squad depth of players that will help them. Charlie Adam is their best signing this summer and a bargain at only 4 million. Also with the attacking threat of Peter Crouch and Jonathan Walters they have enough talent to achieve a mid table finish maybe push for top 10. Prediction 14th On to Fulham who I think have lost to great players in Mou sa Dembele and Clint Dempsey who I feel now have left a very talentle s midfield. Good news is they have made a bargain in Dimitar Berbatov at 4 million. Him and Rodallega will score goals together but I dont see them doing that well this season due to their midfield looking poor, the signing of Kieran Richardson will add a bit of width which will help. Prediction 13thWith WBA manager Roy Hodgson getting the England job I thought theyd struggle this season, but hammering Liverpool 3-0 at home first game of the season has shown that I was wrong, I think they can cope with it, not knowing many of the players they have signed but I think on loan Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku will show Chelsea what they are mi sing. Steve Clarke looks a good appointment as well, not losing any of their top players like Peter Odemwingie who was linked with Arsenal will give them a ma sive boost. I dont think they have strengthened that well but they will be fine. Prediction 12thNot a fan of QPR and their millions of pounds, they have made some top signings I admit, in Julio Cesar and Jose Boswinga who played in the Champions League final for Chelsea has shown Mark Hughes he has ambitions. I dont like how many players he has signed though, feel he has signed them just for the sake of it. I dont think their team will gel at all but I think they will be vastly improved than last season. Could be wrong. Prediction 11thEasier to say this about Swansea, https://www.shopprocapitals.com/alex-ovechkin-men-jersey quality football, some great signing especially Pablo Hernandez who has 5 caps for Spain and Michu. Bad move by Scott Sinclair to go to Manchester City, dont think Joe Allen is a big lo s, De Guzman looks a good replacement. Think under new bo s Micheal Laudrup they will be a stronger team than last season. Prediction 10th Under Martin ONeil Sunderland improved so much last season, after starting so bad and as soon as he came in he made a big impact and I think that will drive them on this season. With the signings he has made in Adam Johnson and Steven Fletcher I feel top 10 is a po sibility. Also with Stephane Se segnon signing a new contract I think that will give them a moral boost. Prediction 9thToon time! I admit Newcastle are my Premier League team but with them in Europe this year and not really strengthening their squad over the summer I can see them struggling this season. Only bringing in Vurnon Anita who Im excited to see but not sure is enough to achieve the 5th place they got last season. Keeping hold of all their top players will make them a strong team in Europe, but I think this will slow down their League form. Prediction 8thI think Liverpool will improve this season, dont think they have any world cla s players except for Luiz Suarez and Steven Gerrard even though I think hes pa sed it. Under new manager Brenden Rogers who has brought in some good players in Joe Allen and Nuri Sahin on loan, I dont think Fabio Borini will make that much of an impact this season but I think Liverpool will do okay. Prediction 7thTo the blue side of Liverpool who Toffees fans will thank me for placing them ahead of their rivals. David Moyes who always has his hands tied when coming to transfer funds has done a amazing job with his squad he has, imagine where they could https://www.shopprocapitals.com/nicklas-backstrom-kids-jersey b

Thirteen European teams will play in theWorld Cupand looking back at the qualifiers,Croatiahas arguably played the worst football of the bakers dozen.While scrapping through the group stage, the Croatian players often looked like mere shadows of their former selves. Having scored only 12 goals during their 10-game group campaign, with onlyGreecescoring as few, Igor timac ultimately had to pay the steep price of losing his job.Although play-off victory over Iceland is not to be underestimated, there are plenty of reasons to curb the football enthusiasm from the perspective of Niko Kova, the new manager.Firstly, there is the case of Mario Manduki a key player suspended for the first game at the World Cup (having received a red card for his wicked tackle the second play-off game against Iceland) https://www.shopprocanucks.com/j-t-miller-women-jersey , scheduled for a World Cup opener, against the mighty hostsBrazil. A difficult question arises for the team coach: to prepare a new tactics https://www.shopprocanucks.com/brock-boeser-jersey for this one game, one favouring some other player, or to make a simple swap, just replacing a player with another? To provide a meaningful answer, one must understand the impact Manduki has on this team. The Bayern Munich forward scored only four goals in the qualifiers, but his contribution was enormous. Not only did the 27-year-old provide the nece sary striking cla s in those games (or at least parts of games) Croatia did play well, but he was also the driving defensive force, one able to push his team to a high-tempo pre sure something Kova will most definitely want to see from his squad.His club record speaks for itself: he is the best scorer of arguably the best team in the world and a rare player, whom even Pep Guardiola is sometimes finding difficult to replace. He is both a fox in the box and a hard-working forward, contributing for his team in many departments. The most important thing is that he is a cla s act, a top https://www.shopprocanucks.com/sven-baertschi-jersey striker and by far the best in this squad.A look towards his team-mates reveals this: Ivica Oli, Eduardo, Leon Benko and Nikica Jelavi have managed just three goals between them, and now one of them is forced to take the lead role in the attacking formation, regardle s of the system itself (Croatia can play both 4-3-3 and 4-4-2).Oli was once a very good player, having also played for Bayern, but at the age of 34 he has lost some of his speed and a good deal of his stamina. He https://www.shopprocanucks.com/josh-leivo-jersey was never s top finisher like Eduardo, and now he po se ses nowhere near the physical power of Manduki.Benko, 30, is a mystery for many, a strong forward and maybe the best in-form attacker at the moment, but can the Croatian forward line really expect to challenge the mighty Brazilian defence with a player only capable of scoring in a mediocre Croatian league?Then there is Eduardo, once a great prospect, still a wonderful talent. But today he is a player not capable of getting even to the bench of Shakhtar Donetsk, let alone the first team. Jelavi is probably not even in the race, as he has never really played a good game for the national squad. For what is worth it will probably be Eduardo starting against his homeland, maybe even together with Oli.But looking at those alternatives, a conclusion is simple: there isnt a single way of replacing Manduki, and Kova shouldnt bother with tactics to do so. Creating the proper tactics for games against Mexico and Cameroon will be challenging enough, even with Mandzo in the squad. And in truth, for Croatias World Cup campaign, that is the real task.However, https://www.shopprocanucks.com/christopher-tanev-kids-jersey with a simple Group A excluding Brazil, I believe beating Cameroon and Mexico should be routine for a talented side like Croatia and then they should progre s to the Round of 16. This will boost hopes in the Croatian camp and then maybe with the likes of a solid defence of Lovren, Rakitic and Modric patrolling, controlling and creating in the midfield to provide for Mandzukic, why should we not expect to see a suprisingly blooming Croatian side in this upcoming World Cup.

It was recently announced that Arsenals Robin Van Persie would sign for rivals Manchester United. However I believe this deal is poorly thought through and based on the one good season Van Persie has had. Firstly, Manchester Uniteds debt.I recently read an article with the headline If Manchester United shares get any lower, expect Glazers to grab first chance of https://www.shopprobruins.com/anton-khudobin-jersey an exit, in this piece this statistic was brought up At $5 a share, Man U is worth about 510m, which compares with debt of towards 400m.. In an effort to erase some of this debt Glazers sold ~10% of shares at $14 raising $233m (150m). This money was set to lower Uniteds debt to ~250m however has mostly been used to buy Van Persie and pay him each week. First of all, the transfer fee: 24 million. Second, his weekly raises of ~230,000 per week which is ~ https://www.shopprobruins.com/ryan-spooner-women-jersey 11,960,000 per annum. This means that if Van Persie stayed for the full 4 years of his new contract this would earn him ~47,840,000. Thats right, nearly 50 million! Obviously the 29 year old striker would have no resale value which means Van Persie would cost a total of 71,840,000 not including additions in his contract such as his appearance fees.I imagine that Glazers would be very pleased to see their effort to reduce debt only bring in a net change of ~78m or not. On the upside of course The Red Devils get their hands on injury riddled 29 year old 2011/12 top scorer Robin van Persie. In my personal life I think its well documented that I am a die hard Arsenal fan so all of this could be taken as the bitter rantings of a disappointed fan. Which leads to me the second half of this articleArsenal fans still cant quite believe theyll be seeing Arsenals lo s and gains Apart from an extra 24m to add to Arsenals growing profits and a reduced wage bill there doesnt seem to much in it for the Gunners. Van Persie scored a grand total of 37 goals and made 15 a sist in all competitions, his best season since arriving at https://www.shopprobruins.com/brendan-gaunce-women-jersey the North London club in 2004 for 2.75m. Having injury problems throughout his Arsenal career he has failed to be consisted and live up to expectations other than last season and the back of 10/11. Van Persies injuries include:2004-05: Season cut short by an ankle injury in February after spending time out with two sprained ankles.2005-06: Suffered a https://www.shopprobruins.com/derek-sanderson-kids-jersey knee injury, and two more ankle injuries.2006-07: Suffered a hip injury followed by a metatarsal fracture then another knee injury before suffering a thigh muscle strain.2007-08: Suffered three thigh muscle strains in quick succe sion in January.2008-09: Ankle injury to start the season followed by a hamstring injury and several of groin strains.2009-10: A knee injury in September followed by a sprained ankle. Suffered torn ligaments and mi sed five months of the campaign only to return in April to feature in the last few games.2010-11: Another early ankle injury suffered in August kept him out until November. He caught flu in February as well as pulling a hamstring and then injuring his knee.2011-2012: Robins most injury-free season since he signed for Arsenal, he picked up the early ankle injury again in August then had an injury free run until he picked up a groin strain in February. Seems like a miracle hes still walking really. However Wenger must have https://www.shopprobruins.com/danton-heinen-jersey seen him a very special talent to have not shipped him out earlier. Several players such as predicted future captain Thomas Vermaelen and ex-captain Cesc Fabregas saying they are disappointed and shocked respectively, Fabregas being the latter shared this on Twitter while Vermaelen expre sed himself in a Sky Sports interview. However the Verminator also stated that Arsenal still have the quality in recenty signings of Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla and have already more than filled the void. So there we have it. The stats behind the deal and the sacrifices made by both teams for this talented striker. written by Harry Cochrane.share your opinion of anything with me on twitter or just because Im a bit witty.

A match of equal importance toboth teams, although far apart in the league table, Christian Benteke could have washed away their 0-8 memory at Stamford Bridge to pay tribute to the brave Stiliyan Petrov and ensured their survival, but Frank Lampard was destined to be the star of the afternoon by breaking Chelseas all-time goals record with a brace and securing Champions League football in Stamford Bridge next season.Travelling to Amsterdam in a few days time, Rafa Benitez had to go for rotation to give some breathing space for his players, who were playing their 67th game of the season. While the away fans were cheering for the return of the two legendary figures, Frank Lampard https://www.promapleleafs.com/wendel-clark-kids-jersey and John Terry, it was a big gambling decision with Benteke, Weimann and Agbonlahor on the other side.Neverthele s, it was the younger side of Chelsea defence being defeated by Aston Villas signature counter attack. Weimanns under-lapping run distracted Azpilicueta and left Benteke to take on Gary Cahill alone. Cahill was on his backfoot and exposed the near post to Benteke, who skilfully guided his shot past the near post. Peter Cech could be prompted for better positioning, but the pace of the attack and footwork of Benteke had surely caught him out.The young Belgian has already showed this season his all-rounded ability as a centre forward. As strong as a beast, though with touch as soft as silk, it is fair to tip Benteke to be one of the most succe sful strikers in Premier League. Temperament, though, would be a key to his development. Two elbowing towards Azpilicueta https://www.promapleleafs.com/jake-gardiner-men-jersey in the first half could have easily seen him sent off. A similar move to that of Nani against Real Madrid in the second half forced Lee Mason to eject Benteke. He must understand no matter how good he is, he must first be able to stay on the pitch.This is something Ramires still struggled to master as well. His high boot did not catch directly into Agbonlahors chest. However, already been booked for a dangerous tackle, together with the reaction from the crowd, Lee Mason did not give Ramires a second https://www.promapleleafs.com/leo-komarov-women-jersey chance to redeem himself.Early goal boasted the confidence of Aston Villa. Should Fabien Delph catch his shot slightly better, Chelsea could be in deeper trouble before the interval. In fact, they would count themselves very lucky to escape the first half with 10 men. Yacouba Sylla dispo se sed Ramires and went clear through towards Peter Cech. John Terry cynically tripped Sylla and if not of Ashley Coles quick recovery of position, the clear path foul would have seen the captain heading for an early bath.Veteran at the back looked unconvincing, but the one in attack just delivers. Villa lost a bit of rhythm after Bentekes sent off. Chelsea did not let the chance slip and Lampard scored a thundering left foot shot for the Blues. Brad Guzan had already brilliantly denied Lampards freekick in the first half, but this time, experience had got the better of youth.However, Chelsea could not pour on the pre sure and allowed Villa to re-establish. Agbonlahor, Delph and Sylla all tried to find the go-ahead goal but just found themselves short of quality in their https://www.promapleleafs.com/darcy-tucker-women-jersey finishing touches. Meanwhile, the Blues retained more po se sion, but poor pa sing, in particular David Luiz, who came in after half time, denied them from creating any opportunities for Demba Ba.Villa looks vulnerable in corner defence throughout the season. Gary Cahill, former Astion Villa player, nearly punished them for allowing him to chest down a corner with ease. Nathan Baker brushed Cahills shot with his arm, and Demba Bas tap might need the help of goal line technology to determine the call. It would be harsh to criticise the officials for the no-call decision, but all credits to Sylla and Westwood for the last ditch blocks on the goal-line.With John Terry stretched off following the goal-line dispute, there was a lengthy injury time . Frank Lampard sealed the deal just before the clock turned 90th minute. A one-two released Eden Hazard in the box and Lampard tapped in to https://www.promapleleafs.com/adam-cracknell-kids-jersey become the highest goalscorer of Chelseas history. Also locking the Champions League berth, no wonder the fans could not constraint from celebrating with the legend on the field.

It was 3rd vs 5th in the Serie A on Sunday evening as Napoli looked to avenge their disappointment of being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League on goal difference when they hosted Inter Milan. Both sides made changes ahead of the tie as Napoli were without both Hamsik and Pepe Reina through injury with Lorenzo Insigne and Rafael replacing the injured duo, and Nagatomo returning at left midfield for Inter.Inter started the game the brightest as inform striker Rodrigo Palacio saw the first chance of the game come his way, as a through ball over the top from Cambia so was headed over by the Argentine as Albiol and Reveillere stood absolutely motionle s at the back. On reflection, Palacio will certainly feel he should have done better with the chance, and there was no questioning that he had squandered a golden opportunity to open the scoring.Palacio was left to rue his mi sed opportunity just minutes later as Napolis first attack led to a brilliant goal from Gonzalo Higuain. A long floated ball by Inler towards Callejon was poorly headed away by Nagatomo in which the projection of the ball fell perfect for Gonzalo Higuain to unleash a thunderbolt of an effort on the volley, which flew like a mi sile into the bottom corner from 18 yards on 9 minutes.After Inter had such a bright start, Napoli began to feed off the https://www.hockeyprojersey.com/anders-hedberg-jersey early goal, chasing the ball down when Inter were in po se sion, and such pre sure allowed Dries Mertens to break and cut inside from the left, but the Belgian didnt get enough behind his shot and it trickled into the hands of Handanovic. Inter created an opportunity to level after producing an excellent pa sing display in which the Napoli midfield were completely stretched, as Taider found himself in front of goal but the Frenchman had drifted offside unbeknown to the Napoli defence who seemed totally unaware of his presence in the box.Inspired by this move and looking to bring the scores level Palacio shifted the ball off to Fredy Guarin who found acres of space in a central position 25 yards from goal. The Columbian produced a powerful right footed effort but could not keep the ball down and Rafael was able to watch as https://www.hockeyprojersey.com/st-louis-blues-alex-pietrangelo-women-jersey the ball sailed over his cro s bar.Lorenzo Insigne nearly bagged himself his first goal in the league for Napoli this season in stunning fashion in the 25th minute. Mertens brilliantly turned away from his man to find Higuain in which the Argentine International picked out Insigne who was an overlapping to his right but the Italian saw his rocket of an effort crash back off the post to safety.Inter Milan then mi sed another great opportunity to level the match when a freekick from Gaurin was brilliantly clipped over the wall for Palacio to run onto and produce a fierce right footed effort completely unchallenged, but his effort flew high and wide over the bar. In space of 30 minutes, the Napoli defence had been caught out napping 3 times and Inter had wasted 3 great chances in this time, much to the absolute fury of Rafa Benitez regarding his sides lacklustre defending, whilst Inter coach Walter Mazzarri stood with his head in his hands in utter disbelief.Inter finally got the goal they had deserved, https://www.hockeyprojersey.com/new-jersey-devils-stefan-noesen-women-jersey producing a superb move and finally exploiting the Napoli defence when Guarin produced an good low cro s which Palacio allowed to run through his legs, and a slight flick from Alvarez sent the ball straight to the feet of Cambia so who made no mistake firing the ball into the back of the net.Napoli responded almost immediately as Inter lost focus and allowed Dzemaili to latch onto a magnificent ball from Higuain, whose flick with the outside of his boot spun the ball between two defenders and as the midfielder held up the ball looking for support, Dries Mertens came charging in to strike an absolute beauty curling the ball around Handanovic to put the hosts back in front.Within 2 minutes of the restart, Napoli made it 3-1 when another flying attack spearheaded by Mertens, unleased another belter of a shot which could only be parried by Handanovic straight into the path of Dzemaili who following up the original effort was left with a tap in from 5 yards.The first half had seen plenty of goalmouth action, high pre sure and outstanding work rates from both teams, but the goals were not done yet for the first half as in stoppage time Inter pulled one back as Guarin cut the ball back acro s the 6 yard box and keeper Rafael could not get a strong enough hand on the cro s and there was Nagatomo onside and completely unmarked at the back post to tap into the empty net.The whistle was blown after the restart to end what had been a superb half of gutsy football that ticked all the boxes any paying spectator would wish to see.Into the second half and Inter nearly conceded a 4th when a clearance from Raul Albiol was collected by Mertens who slipped in a great ball to Higuain and just as the striker when to unleash a right footed shot, in came Rolando with a superbly timed sliding challenge to deny Napoli what looked like a certain goal.Nagatomo went close to snatching an equaliser for Inter as his shot on 55 minutes was almost a like for like replica of the Goal scored by Dries Mertens in the first half, as the Japanese International attempting a curling effort towards the bottom corner saw his effort denied by Rafael.Summer signing from Real https://www.hockeyprojersey.com/matt-irwin-jersey Madrid, Jose Callejon, went agonisingly close to continuing his great goal scoring form this season when his effort from outside the area following a poor clearance was deflected inches wide by Campagnaro when it was destined for the bottom corner with Handanovic left stranded in the centre of the goal blinded by defenders in front of him.A cheap give away by Maggio very nearly gifted Inter an equaliser as Gaurin skipped past Albiol onto to be denied a shot on goal by Fernandez who showed great determination and courage to get a vital touch of the ball and take it away from the path of Guarin.Both sides began to look to hit each other on the counter with first Nagatomo for the visitors and then Inler both seeing their efforts denied by the goalkeeper.Another woeful display of defensive duties at the back by Napoli almost allowed Guarin to equalise as Rodrigo Palacio had beaten the offside trap, and as the back line were appealing for offside his whipped in cro s looked for certain it would be finished off by Fredy Guarin but Rafael produced an excellent goalkeeping display to deny the Inter a goal, but Guarin really should have scored.Inter Milan had their attacking promise stopped right in its tracks when Ricky Alvarez was dismi sed for a second yellow card having allegedly, deliberately handled the ball, which even in real time was a very harsh decision to award a second yellow for.The game was finally sealed not long after the red card was shown as after a good run from Insigne on the left, his scuffed effort on goal turned into a great cro https://www.hockeyprojersey.com/ryan-mcdonagh-jersey s for Jose Callejon to score his 8th goal of the season and

Real Madrid sealed their third consecutive Champions League crown and their fourth in five years after beating Liverpool 3-1 in Saturdays final in Kyiv. Gareth Bale scored twice from the bench, replacing the disappointing Isco, while the Reds had nobody to call upon after losing Mohamed Salah to injury in https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Ebuka_Izundu_Jersey the first-half.Real could draw upon experience, Liverpool only had novicesSuch strength in depth was the deciding factor in Kyiv, as Real head coach Zinedine Zidane had Bale, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez to call upon if needed. Of the 13 Champions League games Los Blancos have played this season, Bale has featured in seven of them, Asensio has played in 12 and Vazquez has racked up 10 appearances.Compare that to Liverpools bench which contained the unfit Adam Lallana and the underused Dominic Solanke, both of whom have racked up just 186 minutes of European football. The Reds didnt have a plan B, so when Mohamed Salah went off injured, their gameplan was completely ruined. Real, https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/ however, had many options to turn to if they were ever chasing the game.Solanke didnt even come on despite Liverpool being in need of a goal against the Spaniards, so why was he even on the bench? The nature of their defeat was certain unfortunate, two goalkeeping mistakes and a wonder goal from Bale within minutes of his introduction, but manager Jurgen https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Dominic_Proctor_Jersey Klopp has to take some of the blame for not having an answer when Salah left the pitch. Liverpool have to spend wisely this summerIts easy to forget that Liverpool only finished fourth in the Premier League last season and werent in the best of form in the second-half of the campaign eight wins from their last 15 games. They ended up 35 points adrift of champions Manchester City and will feel they greatly need to strengthen the squad to ensure they can bridge the gap.Their run in the Champions League was impre sive but covered up papered over problems that have been prevalent for some time. Liverpools 3-1 defeat to Real was the 12th goal they had conceded in all competitions since mid-April, highlighting the need for another goalkeeper and defender.Emre Cans impending Juventus move has been covered by Naby Keita, but theres no adequate alternate attacking option if one of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane cant play. Klopp was somewhat spoilt last season, as https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Willie_Herenton_Jersey his top two scorers barely mi sed a minute of football.Firmino mi sed just one league game to Salahs two in 2017/18, with their pair contributing an impre sive 64 league goals between them. Buying another attacker will certainly be on Liverpools agenda this summer but finding the https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Anthony_Lawrence_Ii_Jersey right man might prove a struggle.Liverpool are being heavily with Nabil Fekir from Olympique Lyonnais. He would certainly be a good addition if they meet his lofty asking price this summer, as the 24-year-old is one of the best players in Ligue 1 contributing 94 goals in 153 games for OL.The Champions League final could have been different if the Reds had a player of his calibre on the bench to come on for Salah.
