O goleiro Fernando Prass está prestes a escrever mais um capítulo em sua história com o Palmeiras. No jogo contra o Fluminense, neste domingo, o goleiro chegará aos 88 jogos com a camisa alviverde no Campeonato Brasileiro e igualará a marca de Sérgio (1999 a 2006) como segundo goleiro com mais atuações pelo Verdão na competição. “São” Marcos (1992 a 2012), com 168 partidas pelo time na Série A, está no topo da lista.

Prass igualará a marca poucos dias após o presidente Maurício Galiotte indicar que a renovação de seu contrato, que termina dia 31 de dezembro, está encaminhada. O camisa 1 passou por uma recente má fase e chegou a perder a titularidade para Jailson, em julho, após uma sequência de falhas.

Porém, diante da lesão no quadril sofrida pelo companheiro, Prass voltou à meta. E mesmo diante das contestações, tem mostrado atuações consistentes que levaram o Palmeiras a querer renovar seu vínculo por mais uma temporada.

No Palmeiras desde dezembro de 2012, o arqueiro de 39 anos já soma 243 jogos pela equipe. Ele não esconde o desejo de se aposentar no clube e diz que gostaria de jogar por mais três anos. Caso isso se concretize, ele pode vir a ultrapassar Marcos e se tornar o goleiro com mais jogos pelo Palmeiras no Brasileiro, mas, para isso, terá que ter certa regularidade no time titular.

Quando perdeu o posto para Jailson, reconheceu que os momentos de oscilação são normais, mas conseguiu dar a volta por cima e tem sido decisivo nos últimos jogos. Na vitória sobre o Coritiba, na rodada passada, foram pelo menos duas defesas difíceis que garantiram a vitória por 1 a 0. Na semana anterior, pegou um pênalti cobrado por Fred no empate com o Atlético-MG, no Independência.

O time comandado por Cuca não perde há três rodadas, soma 40 pontos e está na briga pela parte de cima da tabela, a 13 pontos do Corinthians, três pontos do vice-líder Grêmio e apenas um atrás do terceiro colocado Santos. A consistência de Prass é fundamental para que o Palmeiras siga firme na briga pela Libertadores e possa continuar acreditando na possibilidade de ser campeão.

Prass igualará a marca de Sérgio justamente diante do Fluminense, equipe que fez com que se firmasse de vez como ídolo alviverde. Na semifinal da Copa do Brasil de 2015, o camisa 1 fez milagre em chute de Fred para garantir a vitória por 2 a 1, nos últimos minutos, no Allianz Parque. E ainda foi decisivo nas cobranças de pênaltis que levaram o Verdão à decisão contra o Santos, e, posteriormente, ao título.

Prass virou tão ídolo que a torcida fez um bandeirão em sua homenagem na decisão disputada no Allianz Parque. O goleiro foi o único jogador a receber a honra – os outros tinham como personagens Cleo, torcedor histórico da Mancha Verde, e imagens da própria taça da Copa do Brasil.

Mais uma motivação para o goleiro repetir o bom desempenho recente e ajudar a levar o Verdão ao quarto jogo sem derrota – já são duas vitórias e um empate. A partida será neste domingo, às 16h (de Brasília), no Maracanã, e é válida pela 25ª rodada do Brasileirão.

Depois de três meses dentro da zona de rebaixamento, o Avaí finalmente respirou fora do Z4. Após a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Sport, fora de casa, no último domingo, o Leão consolidou sua boa sequência no segundo turno. A equipe catarinense não perde há cinco jogos, com três vitórias e dois empates. Para o zagueiro Gustavo, foi só o primeiro passo para manter a equipe na Série A.

– Temos que manter a tranquilidade agora e o trabalho sério para continuarmos firmes nesta luta para afastar a equipe do Z4 da Série A. O primeiro objetivo foi alcançado, que era sair da zona de rebaixamento. Isso vai dar muita confiança ao grupo para as próximas semanas – afirmou o defensor, que ainda ressaltou a motivação do elenco em conquistar seus objetivos na temporada.

– Temos totais condições de manter o Avaí na Série A. Só depende da gente agora. Vamos continuar trabalhando firme, com humildade e tranquilidade, para conquistarmos esse objetivo. Estamos muito motivados para a sequência do campeonato – completou Gustavo.

Com a vitória sobre o Sport, o Avaí subiu para a 14ª posição na tabela de classificação do Brasileirão, com 28 pontos, dois a mais que o Vitória, primeiro clube dentro da zona da degola. Na próxima rodada, o Leão recebe o Atlético-MG, domingo, às 11h.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, journalist Paul Brown of The Daily Star has dropped an interesting claim on Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky and his ambition to take full ownership of West Ham United in future.

The Lowdown: Kretinsky in talks…

Right at the end of last month, some huge off-field news emerged with The Athletic revealing that Kretinsky had entered advanced talks to buy a 27 per cent minority stake in West Ham.

The deal had apparently been ‘months in the making’ and ‘would therefore spell the beginning of the end’ of the hugely mixed GSB era in east London (The Athletic).

David Gold, David Sullivan, and Karren Brady’s ownership has been met with fierce protests among West Ham fans in recent years and especially after their decision to leave the Boleyn Ground.

In a financial boost for the club, Kretinsky’s acquisition of a minority share, now confirmed, is reportedly worth around £700 million (Daily Express).

While the 46-year-old has bought a smaller stake in the club than GSB’s, it is believed that the “Czech Sphinx” may eventually seek to fully takeover in future with that option understood to be included in the deal (The Daily Mail).

The Latest: Brown shares interesting update…

Making an interesting claim on Kretinsky’s plans to fully takeover West Ham at a later date, Brown has backed that he is ‘serious’ about doing so after what he’s been ‘told’ – but insists there is one ‘problem’.

“We are told that he is serious about one day owning the club in full,” he explained to GMS.

“The problem there is that even though there does appear to be an option in the deal, nobody knows how that option could be activated.

“While the option may be there and we are told he’s serious about being West Ham’s owner at some point, it doesn’t seem like that’s a massive priority for him in the short-term.”

The Verdict: Blow for supporters?

GSB’s reign has been met with scrutiny both on and off the field and it’s safe to say a fair few West Ham fans would possibly prefer Kretinsky’s full takeover at some point.

His personal wealth sits at an eye-watering £3 billion as the Czech magnate is already tipped to inject some much-needed cash transfer funds into the club, even with just a minority stake.

Sources with knowledge of Kretinsky’s background, like football pundit Jiri Hosek, also believe that West Ham fans can ‘optimistic’ about the prospect of him one day taking full ownership of the club – citing his financial transparency and lack of question marks over his fortune (Radio Prague).

Taking into account Brown’s claim, however, we believe fans may well have to be satisfied with Kretinsky’s cash injection for now.

Australia’s batsmen refused to suffer further from the team’s Edgbaston curse as they raced to 126 for 1 on a first day significantly curtailed by rain

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details

Australia’s batsmen refused to suffer further from the team’s Edgbaston curse, which robbed them of the wicketkeeper Brad Haddin after the toss, as they raced to 126 for 1 on a first day significantly curtailed by rain. Shane Watson, who had come in for the discarded opener Phillip Hughes, quickly eliminated any doubt over his unorthodox promotion to add his second Test half-century in his ninth match, an innings which helped justify Ricky Ponting’s decision to bat despite the potential for swing and seam.England’s bowlers were treated like Australia’s on the first day at Lord’s, giving up 85 in 19 overs before they picked up Simon Katich. By then they knew they would not be receiving any significant support from a placid pitch, although they had already benefited from the visitors’ misfortune. Following a long delay when nothing happened quickly, Australia were suddenly thrust into frantic behind-the-scenes action while Ponting was at the toss.All the team discussions over how Australia would recover from a 1-0 deficit required an instant re-think when Haddin suffered a suspected broken finger in the warm-up. With the team sheet already handed in, they had to ask permission to replace Haddin with Graham Manou, the South Australia gloveman, who received an unthinkable debut. The tourists were floored in similar circumstances here four years ago when Glenn McGrath hurt his ankle on the morning of the game, an event which started Australia’s fall to a 2-1 loss.None of this bothered Watson, who knew of his promotion on the eve of the match, and he took guard for the first ball and was soon sending it through cover, point, midwicket and square leg during the 30 available overs. Entering the game with a Test average of 19.76, Watson played like he had been part of the team for years as he drove and pulled with freedom and power. He had failed as an opener with Queensland a couple of seasons ago but gained confidence from his stints there in the limited-overs sides.By stumps there were no immediate regrets over his elevation after he pumped 10 boundaries, including a drive off Graham Onions that was so straight it bounced over the umpire, during an assured 62 off 105 deliveries. His only moment of serious discomfort came in the same over Graeme Swann removed Katich, with Watson missing a sweep and surviving a loud lbw appeal on 37.Moving on quickly, his 89-ball half-century arrived with a clipped two to the legside. It was just what Watson, an allrounder who has fought a series of untimely injuries, needed and his fast-bowling will also provide cover for Mitchell Johnson, the out-of-sorts attack leader.With 11 overs remaining Watson was joined by Ponting, who held firm to finish on 17, eight short of Allan Border’s Australia record of 11,174 runs. Ponting was required when Katich grew too confident and aimed a hefty pull to his first offering from Swann, falling lbw when struck on the front leg. He was unhappy to exit in such ugly fashion for 46 from 48 balls after such a smooth start.James Anderson took the new ball with Andrew Flintoff but both bowled too short before Onions and Stuart Broad experienced some harsh treatment in front of a subdued sell-out crowd. Watson unfurled a crisp off-drive for four from Onions’ second ball and then pulled another to midwicket in the same over. Broad also gave away two early boundaries when he aimed at Katich’s legs and was twice caressed through square leg.Play eventually started at 5pm after rain fell in Birmingham on Wednesday and Thursday morning, but the skies cleared after lunch and the match began in beautiful summer sunshine. The umpires Rudi Koertzen and Aleem Dar were particularly concerned by the soggy run-ups and the damp outfield and called Ponting and Andrew Strauss on to the field during two inspections before they agreed the conditions were suitable.England’s only change from the outfit that won at Lord’s last week was Ian Bell coming in at No. 4 for the injured Kevin Pietersen, but the unaltered bowling attack must re-focus in the morning if they are to trouble their opponents. Both sides need to make an early impact if they are to pursue a positive result as further weather disruptions are expected on Saturday and Monday.

Aston Villa owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens will back Steven Gerrard in the January transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a recent claim made by Ashley Preece, with the journalist stating in a recent Birmingham Live Q&A that the 41-year-old manager will get rid of a number of players he does not feel are of the standard required for Villa during the winter market, before going on to claim that NSWE will back the new Villa boss in pursuit of his own targets in the upcoming window.

In response to a question regarding Aston Villa’s January business, the journalist said:

“Gerrard hinted at doing business in January during [Monday’s] interview. He’s going to be backed by NSWE. He’ll get rid of players he doesn’t like and he’ll attract a serious calibre of player [and] should business get done. January is a tough market but the Gerrard factor gives Villa an edge. Gerrard will have the next six weeks to see what he wants and needs in terms of new recruits.”

Fans will be excited

While the appointment of a new manager always brings with it the hope of a side going on to achieve great things under their new coach, the news that NSWE are willing to fund Gerrard’s rebuilding of the Aston Villa squad in January is yet another reason for the Villa Park faithful to get excited.

Indeed, there are a number of players currently taking up space in Gerrard’s first-team squad that are perhaps ready for the chop, such as Anwar El Ghazi and Keinan Davis, while, despite only being at the club for a matter of days, the former Liverpool captain has already been linked with moves for a host of exciting players, such as the likes of Ryan Kent, Julian Alvarez and Jesse Lingard.

As such, despite the fact that Villa are currently languishing down in 16th place in the Premier League standings, there is very much a great deal for fans of the club to look forward to in the coming months, particularly following Preece’s recent claim that Gerrard looks set to be given a war chest in a bid to improve his squad during the January window.

Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny believes that it would be reckless if the Whites decided not to do any business in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Leeds tipped to sign nobody

Marcelo Bielsa’s side have made a disappointing start to their Premier League campaign, winning only one of their first nine matches prior to today’s trip to Norwich.

After the highs of finishing ninth in their first season back in the top flight, the early months of 2021/22 have proven to be a sobering experience.

According to recent comments by The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds are unlikely to make any new signings in January, unless their season is “on edge”.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375277″]

The Latest: Kenny bemoans apparent inactivity

Speaking to Football Insider, Kenny rued that claim, saying that it would be naive of Leeds not to strengthen considering that they could find themselves in a potential relegation fight. He said:

“I don’t think they can afford not to sign anyone. Everyone else will be looking to strengthen. You can’t afford not to, it’s just too tough in the Premier League these days.

“If Leeds are in the same position they are now, I’ll guarantee they’ll need to strengthen. The fans won’t be happy if they don’t either.

“If you look at where they are now, they’re struggling for form and it looks like it could do with a freshen up.”

The Verdict: Gauge it later in the year

While there is understandable reason to want new faces to come in given their current struggles, Leeds should look at the situation nearer Christmas in terms of their league position.

Key players such as Luke Ayling, Robin Koch and Patrick Bamford are out injured – the likes of Junior Firpo and Kalvin Phillips have also been unavailable recently – and the team’s fortunes could change when they all return.

Should Leeds’ struggles continue, though, it would be remiss of the club not to at least consider some January reinforcements. Kenny’s concerns are understandable, even if the Whites don’t need to push the panic button just yet.

كشف السيد مراد محمود المشرف على تقنية الفيديو بالاتحاد المصري، عن أسباب تقدمه باستقالته من منصبه اليوم الأحد، مشيرًا إلى أن محمد عاشور اتخذ قرارات صحيحة في غرفة الفار بمباراة الأهلي وفاركو في الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وكان السيد مراد محمود تقدم باستقالته من منصبه بشكل رسمي ظهر اليوم الأحد. طالع التفاصيل من هنا.

وقال السيد مراد محمود في تصريحات إذاعية عبر أثير راديو “ميجا إف أم”: “أرى أن المناخ ليس مناسبًا في الوقت الحالي، وتحدث بعض التجاوزات على شخصي، على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي”.

وتابع: “أنا متواجد منذ 11 عامًا، وبدأت بتقاضي مبلغ 900 جنيه، ما الذي يجعلني أتشبث بموقعي وهو عمل أكثر إلى الهواية ومنه إلى الاحتراف، نحن في تقنية الفيديو نتقاضي ما يقرب من 8800 في الشهر، أنا أنتقل للجنة الحكام والمعسكرات، والعائد ليس هو المضمون بالنسبة لي”.

وأردف: “تقنية الفار تتكون من عدة مراحل تبدأ، برجل الكاميرا، ثم المُخرج، ثم حكم الفار، ثم حكم الملعب، عندما يتم استدعائه للمراجعة الميدانية، أي خلل في هذا السياج لن تحصل على المنتج النهائي الجيد”.

وأوضح: “تقنية الفار ملك للمشاهدين، ورجل الكاميرا لو فقد تركيزه في كاميرا التسلل وعمل زوم، أضاع كل شيء، وكذلك الأمر إذا المخرج لم يستطع تقديم الصورة التي رأيتها بالخطوط وتستمر لعده ثواني، هذه الأمور ليست بأيدينا”.

وتابع: “الكابل الذي يأتي من الكاميرات يدخل على التوازي مع عربية الفار ثم عربية التلفزيون، وهذا جودة الفيفا، ولا يصح أن اللقطات المتواجدة في كاميرا، تكون عكس الأخرى، الشركة تُحاسب على هذا الأمر ويتم سحب تراخيصها، لأن هذا الأمر يؤدي إلى عرض المخرج للقطات، غير متوفرة عند الفار”.

وبسؤاله هل حكم تقنية الفار بمباراة الأهلي وفاركو أخطأ، قال: “محمود عاشور قام بالإجراءات بطريقة صحيحة، ونحن اطلعنا على تسجيلات عربة الفار ورأينا كيف اتخذ القرارات، وهل هناك تسلل من عدمه، ورأينا أنه وضع النقاط بطريقة صحيحة”.

وواصل: “نحن لدينا صورة بها النقاط التي يجب وضع الكاميرات بها، وإذا لابد أن يكون هناك لقاء مع المصورين لتوضيح ارتكازاتهم، ومنذ عملي في اليوم الأول بتقنية الفار حتى الآن لم ألتق بالمصورين”.

وأكمل: “وقلنا للمصورين أن يقفوا في أماكنهم، ولكن لم نوضح لهم أنهم تحركوا أو عملوا زووم سيفقدون الصورة، بمعني أننا في لعبة التسلل يجب أن نرى الصورة كاملة لأنها مرتبطة بتمركز كل من المدافعين والمهاجمين”.

وأضاف: “كان يجب أن يحصلوا على محاضرات للتأهيل، ومثلا هدف المصري في النادي الأهلي، لم يكن هناك تركيز من المصور أن يعطينا الصفحة كاملة، وعند خرُوج خطوط التسلل بعض الأوقات تخرج كالوميض، والفار ملك للمشاهدين، لابد أن تُعرض الصورة بوقت كافي، ولو سير اللعب أجبره فهناك توقفات للإصابة”.

وزاد: “ويجب أن يكن هناك مهندس يجلس في غرفة الفار، هو الذي يتواصل مع المخرج، والتقني لا يتواصل مع المخرج، ومن المفترض أن الفار هو الذي يقود ويبلغ المهندس أن يُبلغ المخرج بإعادة خطوط التسلل بزمن كافي”.

وبسؤاله بنسبة كم في المائة أخطأت تقنية الفار في التعامل مع الكرات الصعبة: “سأقول في آخر ثلاث أسابيع قمنا بتحليلها فنيًا عبر زووم الحكام، تدخل الفار 11 مرة، منها 9 مرات احتسبت ركلات جزاء بطريقة صحيحة افتقدها حكم المباراة، و2 استدعاء لم يستطع الفار تقديم صورة واضحة”.

وأشار: “منذ بدء التقنية حصلنا على 9 أيام تدريب للحكام خلال العامين الماضيين، بمعنى أن كل حكم جلس على أجهزة المحاكاة أقل من 10 دقائق”.

وبسؤاله هل من حق الأندية الاطلاع على تسجيلات تقنية غرفة الفيديو: “سألت في هذه الجزئية، وعلمت أن التسجيلات تستخدم للتعلم والدراسة فقط”.

Andrew Miller previews the opening match of the ICC World Twenty20

The Preview by Andrew Miller04-Jun-2009

Match factsFriday June 5
Start time 17.30 (16.30GMT)Big PictureThe floodlights are in place, the snoozing MCC members have been piled up in a quiet corner, and after a soporific start to the summer, we are all set to get England’s biggest-ever season of international cricket properly underway. The endless encounters with West Indies may have been a drain on the patience of even the game’s most stalwart fans, but the prospect of a major global tournament on home soil will lift the spirits as much as the glorious sunshine of the week just past.The Netherlands are not the most formidable opponents that England will face this summer, but as Scotland demonstrated in a feisty friendly at Trent Bridge on Tuesday, 20-over contests play into the hands of ambitious underdogs. A couple of big performances are all that any team needs, and the Dutch have a squad with two kingpins in Dirk Nannes and Ryan ten Doeschate, as well as a glut of senior players with experience of two (and in one case, three) World Cups. They are no strangers to the big-match atmosphere.England for their part just need a solid start. They come into the contest with a run of six victories in a row in all matches since the Lord’s Test in May, but need to maintain that momentum if they are to outdo their efforts in the 2007 event, when they bombed out of the contest with four defeats in a row.Form guideEngland LWWWL
Netherlands NWLWWatch out for…Chopping and changing between formats holds no fears for Ravi Bopara. From the IPL to the Test arena, through a one-day series against West Indies and now back to Twenty20 cricket, he has shown that a run of good form can be sustained with a positive attitude and barrow-loads of confidence. Back at Lord’s, where he scored the second of his three consecutive Test hundreds, and reunited with the format in which he bashed 84 from 59 for King’s XI Punjab, he can be guaranteed to open England’s tournament with cultured aggression.Associate nations cannot usually call upon express pacemen to aid their ambitions, but Dirk Nannes is a player with the skills to uproot a few early wickets. He knows the Lord’s wicket well, having played here for Middlesex in 2008, and his speedy late-swinging left-armers will doubtless be exacerbated by the slope. With only four overs to make an impact, England would be wise to treat him with caution. But if he can create pressure from one end, his colleagues have the wherewithal to capitalise at the other.Team newsEngland are set to use their 12th opening partnership in 16 Twenty20s when Luke Wright teams up with Bopara at the top of the order, having cemented his place with a matchwinning 75 not out against West Indies on Wednesday. Adil Rashid played in both warm-ups but is likely to miss out as the second spinner, as is Dimitri Mascarenhas who had been used as a new-ball option at Trent Bridge.England (probable) 1 Luke Wright, 2 Ravi Bopara, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Owais Shah, 5 Paul Collingwood (capt), 6 Eoin Morgan, 7 James Foster (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Ryan Sidebottom, 11 James AndersonThe hard-hitting Darron Reekers is likely to open up with Alex Kervezee, whose 62 from 59 balls saw off Scotland earlier in the week. Daan van Bunge, famous as the man who was hit for six sixes in an over by Herschelle Gibbs, slots in in the middle order. ten Doeschate, the Essex allrounder, is the kingpin of the middle order.Netherlands (probable) 1 Darron Reekers, 2 Alexei Kervezee, 3 Bas Zuiderent, 4 Ryan ten Doeschate, 5 Daan van Bunge, 6 Jeroen Smits (capt), 7 Tom de Groothe, 8 Mudassar Bukhari, 9 Dirk Nannes, 10 Edgar Schiferli, 11 Pieter SeelaarPitch and conditionsThe weather, so glorious all week, is set to give way to light showers, which will test the teams under the new Lord’s floodlights. The legendary outfield, however, won’t have any trouble coping if there is a downpour. The pitch has been slow for recent encounters, but expect another decent batting surface.Stats and TriviaEngland have faced Netherlands in two previous ICC tournaments, firstly in Peshawar, where they won by 49 runs at the 1996 World Cup, and then in East London in 2003, when the margin was six wickets. Five players in the current squads featured in the 2003 fixture. One from England (James Anderson, who claimed 4 for 25) and four from Netherlands – Jeroen Smits, Edgar Schiferli and van Bunge, as well as Bas Zuiderent, who even played in the Peshawar match, scoring 54 to keep the run-chase alive.Quotes”It is a big commitment but we love the game, we don’t make a living out of it. Maybe if we do well in these kind of tournaments we will.”

“We believe we can win it. I’m not saying we will win it because I don’t want to put pressure on the boys by saying we’ll win it.”
Paul Collingwood doesn’t quite hedge his bets.

Como superar o Flamengo, adversário que não perdeu clássicos nesta temporada, e o Maracanã lotado? Para o volante Rodrigo Lindoso, o Botafogo não pode deixar de atacar, afinal, precisa da vitória ou de um empate com gols para se classificar sem precisar ir aos pênaltis.

-Não vamos só marcar, vamos atacar também. No futebol o objetivo é o gol. Não é porque a torcida do Flamengo estará em maioria que vamos ficar com a bunda lá na defesa, lá atrás.Não temos que só nos defender.Vamos fazer o nosso jogo – comentou o volante em entrevista coletiva nesta segunda-feira.

O meio-campo destacou ainda que o zagueiro e capitão Joel Carli fará muita falta ao elenco no jogo contra o Flamengo. Apesar disso, ele afirmou que crê num duelo equilibrado no Maracanã.

– Perdemos o nosso capitão, um jogador extremamente importante, mas eles também têm as perdas deles. Mas no nosso caso tem que dar muito apoio a quem vai entrar no lugar. É um clássico, semifinal, próximo do título. Eles também têm um bom elenco. Temos que respeitar. As duas equipes estão na mesma situação e será decidido nos detalhes. Está 50 a 50 – opinou Rodrigo.

O jogador de 28 anos também comentou sobre uma eventual disputa de pênaltis. Em grande fase com os seus goleiros, o Botafogo também está preparado ofensivamente. Pelo menos é o que ele garante:

– A gente treina pênaltis quase todo dia. Às vezes vocês não estão, mas a gente faz. Eu e Roger. Espero que a gente não chegue nos pênaltis, espero que a gente decida em campo – finalizou o atleta.

Everton slumped to their second consecutive defeat in the Premier League after they were thrashed 5-2 by Watford at Goodison Park.

It seemed as though it was going to be an easy afternoon’s work for the Toffees after Tom Davies’ third-minute strike gave them an early lead, but the visitors equalised through Josh King just 10 minutes later.

Former Hornets striker Richarlison then restored Everton’s lead after coming off the bench for Rafa Benitez’s charges ahead again, although their joy was short-lived once more. Juraj Kucka’s header drew Watford level late on before King then struck twice inside six minutes to complete his hat-trick, with Emmanuel Dennis putting the seal on an incredible comeback victory.

It was the Norwegian who stole the show as he fired Claudio Ranieri’s side to a much-needed three points, yet several Everton players were hugely disappointing throughout the 90 minutes.

Although goalkeeper Jordan Pickford conceded five goals in a humbling defeat for the England international, it was arguably midfielder Allan who put in the most underwhelming display among the home side.

As per SofaScore, the Brazil international received a match rating of just six out of 10, the second-lowest rating awarded to anyone on the pitch.

When taking a closer look at his underlying numbers, it’s easy to understand why he was rated so low. Allan was dribbled past a whopping five times by an opposition player, won only three of his 11 duels (73% lost) and had a passing accuracy of just 77%.

With Abdoulaye Doucoure out injured, the 30-year-old was the most senior player in Benitez’s engine room, but he let his manager down with a hugely below-par showing this afternoon.

Both Allan and Benitez will be hoping for a much-improved performance against Wolves next time out, especially as Everton’s injury list shows no sign of diminishing for several weeks.
