Les joueurs de Leeds United disent qu’ils “ne peuvent pas exprimer à quel point ils sont désolés” de ne pas avoir reconnu les fans avant la défaite de dimanche face à Bournemouth.

Une vidéo est devenue virale sur les réseaux sociaux des joueurs de Leeds semblant ignorer les fans, y compris un enfant, alors qu’ils quittaient l’hôtel de l’équipe avant leur Défaite 4-1.

Les Blancs n’ont pris qu’un point lors de leurs cinq derniers matchs et sont à un point au-dessus de la zone de relégation.

L’avenir de l’entraîneur Javi Gracia est en discussion au club.

“Tout d’abord, la performance n’était pas assez bonne”, ont déclaré les joueurs de Leeds dans un message aux fans.

“Il n’y a pas d’autre façon de voir les choses et la seule façon de réagir est sur le terrain. Les fans de Leeds parcourent le pays en grand nombre et méritent plus que cela.

“Ce qui est tout aussi préoccupant pour nous en tant que groupe, c’est la vidéo en ligne de nous quittant l’hôtel. Les mots ne peuvent exprimer à quel point nous sommes désolés que le jeune dans la vidéo portant le kit Leeds ne soit pas montré plus d’amour de la part de l’équipe.

“Un jour de match, nous faisons une marche d’activation, avant et après cela, nous nous arrêtons pour des photos et des autographes pour nous assurer que nous interagissons avec les fans, mais aussi que nous sommes à l’heure lorsque nous partons pour les matchs.

“Cependant, il n’y a aucune excuse pour ne pas reconnaître les fans et si les parents du fan portant le kit Leeds dans la vidéo pouvaient se faire connaître, nous serions reconnaissants.”

Leeds fait sans doute face à la fin de saison la plus difficile des clubs luttant contre la relégation, avec Manchester City et Newcastle ensuite avant une visite à West Ham puis Tottenham à Elland Road pour mettre fin à la campagne.

Ils ont concédé 23 buts en avril – un record de Premier League pour un seul mois et le plus de toutes les équipes de haut niveau depuis que Birmingham a également marqué 23 buts en avril 1965.

Après la défaite de dimanche, le conseil consultatif des supporters de Leeds United a publié une déclaration de défiance envers la direction du club.

“Nous ne pensons pas que ce combat soit terminé et nous continuerons jusqu’à ce que le dernier ballon soit botté cette saison”, ont ajouté les joueurs.

“Merci encore pour votre soutien.”

Northern Ireland Euro 2025 qualifiers: Jackie Burns, Connie Scofield and Brenna McPartlan in squad

Published

London City Lionesses midfielder Connie Scofield and Burnley’s Brenna McPartlan have been included in the squad for Northern Ireland’s opening Euro 2025 qualifiers.

Reading goalkeeper Jackie Burns returns following a long-term Achilles injury.

Key defender Sarah McFadden will miss the matches through injury, but Casey Howe and Rebecca Holloway return.

Tanya Oxtoby’s side face Malta in their opener on 4 April before travelling to Bosnia-Herzegovina on 9 April.

McPartlan will look to add to her sole Northern Ireland cap, which came in a friendly against Wales in 2017, and the midfielder signed for Burnley in the summer from Sunderland.

The 24-year-old played for Blackburn Rovers, Liverpool and Manchester City youth teams, before moving to the USA with Louisiana State University Tigers.

Scofield, 24, is a former England Under-21 midfielder who joined Championship side London City after spells with Birmingham City, where she came through the academy, and Leicester City.

However, Scofield is awaiting international clearance from Fifa before being declared eligible for the two games.

The return of Burns, who has been Northern Ireland’s regular staring goalkeeper in recent years, is a boost after a year on the sidelines with the Achilles injury.

She trained with the Northern Ireland squad before February’s play-off victory over Montenegro and she replaces Wolves’ Shannon Turner in Oxtoby’s squad.

Cliftonville’s Abbie Magee and Crusaders’ Rachel McLaren also return to the international set-up, along with Athlone Town’s Howe and Birmingham City’s Holloway.

McFadden, who has 102 caps for her country, has undergone surgery on a long-term issue, while Ellie Mason picked up an injury playing for Birmingham City.

Bristol City midfielder Rachel Furness, who is Northern Ireland’s record goalscorer, remains out as she recovers from a hamstring injury sustained in November.

After April’s fixtures, Northern Ireland face a double-header with Portugal before their final two qualifiers away to Malta and at home to Bosnia-Herzegovina in July.

The top three sides in Group B3 will earn a play-off in a bid to reach the Euro 2025 finals in Switzerland next summer.

Women’s League Cup final: Chelsea players ‘talk about’ historic quadruple, says Ashley Lawrence

Coverage: Watch on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website

Chelsea’s players are talking about doing the unprecedented quadruple this season – but their focus is always on the next game, insists Ashley Lawrence.

The Blues have won the Women’s Super League in each of the past four seasons and the FA Cup in the previous three – but could go even further this time.

They are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League after beating Ajax over two legs in their last-eight meeting, face Manchester United in the last four of the FA Cup, and the current WSL leaders could collect the first trophy of a potential four in the League Cup this weekend.

No English women’s side has ever won four major trophies in a season, while the last team to win a Treble were Arsenal when they lifted the league, FA Cup and Uefa Women’s Cup in 2007 – a year they also won the Community Shield.

It is Arsenal who will be aiming to spoil Chelsea’s quadruple dreams in the Continental League Cup on Easter Sunday – just as they ruined a potential treble for the Blues by winning the same finalexternal-link 3-1 last season.

Chelsea defender Lawrence, 28, says the squad are taking nothing for granted in their quest for the quadruple.

“It’s always there, we talk about it,” she told BBC Sport. “But our focus is on day by day. We work towards the next game, but we are excited to be in this position.

“We are aware of the four trophies, Emma [Hayes] and the players who have been here a while know what it takes to win. It’s always there, but not the main focus.”

Chelsea are used to the strain of competing for multiple trophies at once.

They played in every match possible to be involved in last season, apart from the Champions League final as they were eliminated at the final-four stage. Hayes’ side also reached the FA and League Cup finals and won the WSL.

It is new to Lawrence, who joined the club last summer from Paris St-Germain, but the Canadian said the team is ready to cope with a relentless run-in, even if it affects time on the training ground.

“We try to take the most important bits and pieces from a game and do better,” she added. “If those things are specific and apply to the next game then the staff will focus on those things.

“But all season it has been a quick turnaround, playing for four different trophies, and we have just been accustomed to it.”

‘Hayes has that ultimate belief’

Lawrence, who has 130 caps for Canada, was brought to Chelsea by manager Hayes last season and has played a utility role for the club amid an injury crisis, deployed wide both in defence and midfield.

She admitted working with Hayes was an enormous draw for her to come to the WSL – and has been even more impressed at close quarters.

“She was a big part of my decision [to sign for Chelsea],” said Lawrence. “Everyone in the football world is aware of Emma, and the impact she has had in England and globally.

“It was an exciting opportunity to come to this club, for the players, the environment and for her.

“She exudes a lot of confidence, even before signing here I saw she has the ability to transform a team into a winning mentality. Now I am here I see she has that ultimate belief, that unwavering confidence. We need that going into finals.”

Chelsea go into the first of those finals at Molineux as favourites after an impressive 3-1 win over Arsenal in the WSL at Stamford Bridge – a result that all but ruled the Gunners out of the title race.

Arsenal, however, have a good recent record against Chelsea, beating them 4-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the WSL this season, as well as the 2023 League Cup final.

“Anything can happen, especially in the final,” warned Lawrence, who won gold with Canada at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. “We looked at that last game with confidence, but they are a top team and will come out for the next game different.

“It’s going to be a level playing field, so we go in with the same conviction, as that was really good from the first whistle. We will not change much but we will be ready.”

Brighton set a new Premier League record – but can rotating goalkeepers really work?

Published

on

Karen Bardsley column

Arsenal were meant to be the team who ripped up the rule book and rotated their goalkeepers this season, but it has ended up being Brighton who have kept on swapping who plays between the sticks.

Seagulls boss Roberto de Zerbi has broken a Premier League record by changing his keeper 17 times already in 2023-24, with Jason Steele playing 15 league games and Bart Verbruggen the other 13, and neither starting more than three times in a row in all competitions.

This is certainly a new idea – no top-flight team has done it before in the Premier League era, and when they have even come close it has been for different reasons. The most changes previously were down to injuries, form, or both.

It’s fascinating to see it happening, but I wanted to explore whether it has worked… and why Brighton are even doing it in the first place.

The previous record for most goalkeeper changes in a Premier League season was 14 by Manchester United in 2000-01, but Fabian Barthez played in 25 of their first 28 league games and the other rotations took place when he and regular understudy Raimond van der Gouw were injured in March, and teenager Paul Rachubka and veteran Scotland international Andy Goram were used as cover.

=3. Portsmouth 09-10 38 12 25: David James, 8: Asmir Begovic, 5: Jamie Ashdown

What’s the difference between Steele and Verbruggen?

At 33, Steele clearly has a lot more experience than Verbruggen, who is 21 and looks like he has a lot of raw talent that needs to nurtured, but performance-wise it’s interesting to see how there is such little difference between both goalkeepers.

I’ve watched a lot of clips of both of them in the past few weeks and a few similar themes emerged.

Brighton goalkeepers Bart Verbruggen (l) and Jason Steele (r) with Seagulls boss Roberto de Zerbi (centre)
Brighton have played 40 games in all competitions this season, with Steele (right) starting 21 of them. So far, Verbruggen (left) is yet to play more than two games in a row, but that will change if Roberto de Zerbi (centre) picks him against Liverpool on Sunday.

Verbruggen seems more economical with his general movement in the box, while Steele’s positioning in goal when facing shots is sometimes more questionable – for example when he takes his position off the defender, and also with his decision making, which might be why his save percentage is the worst in the Premier League this season.

The younger keeper is more self-assured in those situations, although every once in a while he does maybe get drawn too much towards his near post, which is a trait of Steele’s too.

Bart Verbruggen & Jason Steele in the Premier League this season

Neither of them is having a particularly great season in terms of shot-stopping, though, even if Verbruggen’s save percentage is significantly higher.

Verbruggen is underperforming by 3% in terms of the saves he is making compared to the ones he is expected to make, while Steele is -7% in the same metric, meaning they are both lowly ranked there.

Verbruggen Steele
14.9 Expected goals on target conceded 23.6
16 Actual goals conceded* 26
-1.08 (16th) Goals prevented -2.38 (18th)
-0.08 (16th) Expected goals prevented per 90 -0.16 (18th)
*Excludes own goals

There is not much between them when it comes to using the ball either, as you can see from their respective pass-maps, but this is an area where they both excel.

Steele is probably viewed as the more accomplished passer – even his manager has alluded to that being the case – and he plays a marginally higher percentage of longer balls forward.

But Brighton don’t change the way they play when Verbruggen is in the team, and his feet are clearly one of his strengths too.

Bart Verbruggen pass map

In fact, Verbruggen has completed more passes per game (33.5) and with a higher success rate (90.8%), than any other Premier League keeper this season and, like Steele, he is in the top five for passes completed under pressure per game too.

Steele ranks sixth for passes completed per 90 minutes (29.8) and fourth for pass accuracy (82%)

He definitely contributes to his team’s attacking output as well, even if – so far – their end product with him has not been as successful as when Steele plays.

While Steele’s distribution has led to the Seagulls scoring five Premier League goals this season, Brighton have actually created more chances per game building play from the back with Verbruggen in the team.

Ederson (2.4) at Manchester City and Alisson (2.0) for Liverpool are the only top-flight keepers involved in more shot-ending open play sequences per game than Verbruggen this season, among those with a minimum of 270 minutes played.

Shot-ending open play sequences 1.1 1.8
xG from shot-ending sequences 0.19 0.12
Involvements ending in goal scored (season total) 5 0

The rest of the Brighton team is being rotated too

It’s not just in goal where De Zerbi has made a lot of changes – he has changed the rest of his team more than anyone else too, with 108 changes in the Premier League alone so far.

With 10 league games to go, that is already 29 more changes than he made in the whole of last season and 28 more than anyone else in the top division this term – Nottingham Forest have made 80, while Liverpool are next highest with 78.

Brighton have had European football to contend with this season, of course, and some injuries too – but compare their situation to Aston Villa, who have made only 40 changes, despite also having midweek European matches.

Another change to come? Brighton’s third-choice keeper, Canada-born former England Under-17 international Tom McGill, has been on the bench for all their Europa League ties this season when two goalkeeper substitutes were named, but the 24-year-old Seagulls academy graduate is yet to make the squad for a Premier League game in 2023-24 or make a single appearance for them in any competition

Stability in personnel is particularly important at the back – we saw this with Manchester City last season when I looked into Ederson’s form – and it made me wonder if having a regular presence behind them could have helped Brighton.

However, my feeling from watching a lot of clips of their defending is that they seem to have bigger problems than just who is in goal.

A lot of the goals they have conceded this season have come from poor defending and marking, regardless of who their goalkeeper is – but because that has been constantly changing, you are left thinking what is the point?

If there is a pattern, I am still trying to find it – which makes me think the real reason it is happening is for Verbruggen’s long-term benefit.

Which pathway is preferable for a young keeper?

Bart Verbruggen made his Netherlands debut in their 2-1 defeat to France in a Euro 2024 qualifier in October 2023
Verbruggen made his senior Netherlands debut in their 2-1 defeat by France in a Euro 2024 qualifier in October 2023, becoming the youngest Dutch keeper to start a game since Jan van Beveren in 1967

Adapting a new goalkeeper to the Premier League is frequently challenging – whether it’s a young player coming into the team, someone stepping up from a lower division in England, or a player moving here from a foreign league.

Two of those factors apply to Verbruggen, who joined from Belgian side Anderlecht in the summer and only turned 21 in August – he is the second youngest keeper in the Premier League behind Burnley’s James Trafford, and they are the only two currently under the age of 24.

Like Trafford, who was playing in League One for Bolton on loan from Manchester City last season, Verbruggen has rapidly changed levels too – he actually made another big step in the middle of last season, when he moved up from Anderlecht’s B team, so his progress has been very quick.

Neither he nor Trafford can be considered elite keepers yet – although Verbruggen made his senior debut for the Netherlands in October and now has four caps – but clearly the potential is there.

So, which pathway is the preferable one? Trafford is playing every week, but in a struggling team where there is no hiding place if he makes mistakes. Verbruggen is possibly being protected by coming in and out of the team, but is that slowing his progress?

Brighton goalkeeper Jason Steele catches the ball
Steele’s save percentage of 57.6% is the worst in the Premier League this season and down from 61.7% in 2022-23. His goals prevented (-1.33) and expected goals prevented per 90 minutes (-0.09) scores were also better last season.

While changing keepers hasn’t hindered Brighton, or at least not obviously, it hasn’t noticeably helped them either. For a player, in terms of individual development or even just form, it’s different. I always found playing a run of games helped me find my rhythm and made me feel more settled and confident during games.

Being in and out of the team has not made a massive difference to Steele’s form – his shot-saving stats are slightly down on last season, when he became first choice in the second half of the campaign and played 15 of their final 16 league games after Robert Sanchez fell out of favour, but would it make a positive difference to Verbruggen if he was given a longer run in the team?

It feels like it is time to find out, especially if the plan is actually for him to be number one more regularly next season.

What happens then will probably tell us whether this rotation has worked – and if it is an experiment that is worth repeating.

Chelsea: Raheem Sterling ‘understands’ boos – Mauricio Pochettino

Published

Raheem Sterling applauds Chelsea supporters
Raheem Sterling missed a first-half penalty against Leicester

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino says it is important that the club’s fans and players “move on” after Raheem Sterling was booed by supporters.

Sterling faced criticism from sections of the Stamford Bridge crowd during Chelsea’s 4-2 win over Leicester City in the recent FA Cup quarter-final.

Pochettino was jeered for his decision to substitute Mykhailo Mudryk instead of Sterling in the 78th minute.

“We now need to move on. It will help if we do,” said Pochettino.

“What we cannot do is create bigger things from this now because we know fans love our players and I know they will support him and the rest of the team.

“Raheem is a spirited player and he understands it all.”

Pochettino’s Chelsea will have home advantage against lowly Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, when supporters will expect another victory.

Sterling missed a first-half penalty against Leicester and blazed a free-kick well over the crossbar in the second half, which prompted jeers among the home crowd.

Before the match, Chelsea Supporters’ Trust raised “significant concerns” about the club’s future in a lengthy letter to co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.

It said there was growing concern that Chelsea are becoming “a ‘laughing stock’, both on and off the pitch”.

“We need to be careful in the way we talk and give our opinions because there needs to be a strong relationship between everyone,” said Pochettino.

“I just want our players to play really well. I was also suffering the anger of the fans and their disappointment; in fact, the whole team suffered in this situation.”

Everton manager Sean Dyche says altercation with defender Nathan Patterson was ‘nothing’

Nathan Patterson
Patterson’s last club appearance came as a substitute in a draw against Fulham on 30 January

Everton manager Sean Dyche says there was “nothing” in an altercation between himself and defender Nathan Patterson.

Reports suggestedexternal-link Dyche hit Patterson, 22, with a “playful slap” during a warm weather training camp earlier this month, resulting in a heated row.

“I tapped him on the head like an older brother would and he didn’t get the joke. It’s really that simple,” said Dyche, 52.

“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Nothing in it really.”

Scotland international Patterson has played 25 times for Everton this season but his last appearance came in January.

The incident reportedly occurred during the Toffees’ trip to Portugal prior to the international break with defender James Tarkowski having to step in.

Patterson played twice for Scotland during the international break, first against the Netherlands and then Northern Ireland.

Dyche hoping for quick resolution to latest charge

Dyche says he is also hoping for a quick resolution to the club’s latest charge for allegedly breaching the Premier League’s financial rules – and that it “comes to nothing”.

Everton were docked 10 points in November, reduced to six on appeal, for breaking profit and sustainability rules in the three-year period to 2021-22 but received a second charge in January for the three years to 2022-23.

They are currently 16th in the Premier League, four points above Nottingham Forest who were themselves docked four points earlier this month.

Advertisement

“We’re just waiting, really, like we did last time,” Dyche said. “I’m sure everyone’s hoping that it’s fast-tracked slightly, but we’ll have to wait and see.

“I don’t think anyone has concrete proof of how or which way these things will go, particularly after the first one.

“We can only give the information that’s appropriate. I wasn’t there, obviously, but I’m told we’ve given every bit of information that we can give.

“We hope that they see, accordingly, what the club has been trying to do to make sure we’re within the right areas that they need us to be in. So, therefore, we’ll hope that it comes to nothing.”

Ex-Renault Formula 1 boss and former Queens Park Rangers co-owner Flavio Briatore has undergone heart surgery to remove a benign tumour.

The Italian, 73, said he has been discharged from hospital in Milan following the operation.

Briatore said on Instagram the surgery had been “perfectly successful”.

“Following a routine check-up I underwent heart surgery because I had a benign mass which was removed with a minimal invasive procedure,” he said.

Businessman Briatore was managing director of Benetton when Michael Schumacher won the F1 drivers championship in 1994 and 1995.

He was also in charge of Renault when Fernando Alonso also took the title in 2005 and 2006 but left amid the ‘Crashgate’ scandal.

He has not held an official position in F1 since but has been present at grands prix in recent years.

The Italian co-owned QPR between 2007 and 2010, having bought into the west-London club alongside Bernie Ecclestone and Lakshmi Mittal.
