Freiburg clawed their way into the UEFA Europa League last 16 by mounting a remarkable comeback from 2-0 down to beat Lens 3-2 after extra time last month, but that remains their only win across their last eight games (D3, L4). Hoping for another inspirational performance on the European stage, their 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich on Friday – also salvaged via a late strike – should also give them a significant lift.
As they prepare to host West Ham in the last 16, they’ll be seeking revenge as the Londoners are the last side to beat them in Europe at home when they prevailed 2-1 in the group stages. But the Breisgau Brazilians responded well to that setback by finishing the group stage with two 5-0 wins here, and that late turnaround against Lens at the Europa-Park Stadium shows they can never be counted out.
West Ham manager David Moyes declared that his side go to Freiburg with confidence after beating Everton 3-1 on Saturday, their second-straight Premier League win following an eight-game winless run in all competitions (D4, L4). After H2H wins home and away helped them top the group, Moyes’ confidence may not be misplaced given they won their last three European games ‘to nil’.
That should put the travelling Hammers fans in a happy mood, although they should expect a tight encounter as five of their last six Europa League away games were decided by one-goal margins (W3, L3). This part of the world hasn’t historically been kind to the 2022/23 Europa Conference League winners either, because October’s H2H win was their first in European competition in modern-day Germany (D1, L3).
Players to watch: Michael Gregoritsch scored Freiburg’s extra-time winner against Lens, meaning each of his last five goals arrived after the 65th minute. Edson Álvarez completed the scoring for West Ham against Freiburg in December (W 2-0), doing likewise against Everton on Saturday.
Hot stat: The side scoring first has won eight of West Ham’s last nine Europa League games (West Ham: W6, L3). #FREIBURG #WESTHAM #livefootball #livescores #livefootballmatchtoday #footballmatch #footballlive #footballtoday #UEFA #EUROPALEAGUE #epl #EPLLIVE #premierleague

Sport in May last year West Ham were in Dreamland Europa conference League champions and on top of the world in a magical night in Prague well this season it’s the Europa League where the Hammers were blighted in the semi-finals two years ago so they’ve got unfinished business and they’re hoping for another incredible
Adventure new memories in a new stadium with a new team in a new competition we probably lost the game in the first minute at the London Stadium it’s the worst possible start for West Ham United the trip to Frankfurt next week is going to have to
Be a historic one we hope that our experiences over the last two seasons in Europe will uh will help us and track Frankfurt are through to the final and there’s a whole generation of West Ham fans that would have thought that nights like these would never come again yet
Here they are European semi-finals for the second successive season all a learning curve that you take part in this in this journey and like I said it will stand you in good stead for you know different European games that you have as well those dreams will not fail
And die they’ve come from behind character and desire and the two mixed together is a powerful mixing in football we hope that uh we can continue to get into the latter stages of of European competitions Pablo foral into the area he’s won it West Ham United are
In the final you know how many other teams would love to to do what we’re doing and feel like what we how we felt last night who’s running through on goal he shoots and scars and wins the Europa conference League final for West Ham United and those West Ham dreams for
Once didn’t fade and Die West Ham had never felt so massive after winning a first major trophy for 43 years and despite a healthy league position all is not United at the club criticism aimed at Manager David Moyes prompted him to remind their fans that they’ve never had it so good and he’s
Seemingly yet to make up his mind over a new contract at the London Stadium but if he can bring the Europa League title back to East London in doing so taking them into the Champions League then I think the red carpet might be rolled out for Life the road to Dublin continues
Tonight as Bundesliga side fryberg host West Ham in the last 16 of the Europa League live here on talk sport the third time they’ve met in this season’s competition two wins from Two for the Hammers after they topped their group finishing three points ahead of the Germans let’s get the team news from

Seventh in the Premier League before that though it was a run of eight without a win in all competitions fryberg ninth in the Bundesliga haven’t won any of their last eight in all competitions inside 90 minutes they did as Sam mentioned there hold Bayern Munich to an encouraging draw last time
Out and by reaching this stage they have matched their best European season which was last year so um maybe they can draw on those experiences to go one better although beaten twice by West Ham as I mentioned so far this season in the Europa League in the group stage of
Course anyway let’s look ahead uh to the game and react to some of that teen news with Sam matf and the former Arsenal and England Striker lean Sanderson good evening lean good evening Hugh before we get to the teams there’s a there’s a strange mood at West Ham United at the
Moment isn’t there because it got very negative after those eight games without a win and and David Moyes seemed pretty angry R every time he answered a question in a press conference lot of needle involved fans very much divided on his future contract on the table he
Says going to make his mind up in the coming months but then we see the back-to-back wins against brenford and Everton and suddenly actually it’s a lot Rosier at the club yeah it is and I mean we spoke we speak on a show every single
Week don’t we here we had Jamie on from West Ham you know a couple of weeks got a West Ham fan and he was saying he felt the same as me I mean right now you know they’re sitting seventh in the table they’re in the Europa League they to
That group you know so you have to be realistic but what I will say is it’s the way they were losing games H now it was their first win against brenford since before Christmas so losing to Arsenal in the way they did losing to Bristol in the FA Cup you know Bristol
City that their poor results and that game against Arsenal was probably one of the worst I mean the Sheffield United game the other day is probably up there as well let’s be honest but before that I mean it was one of the worst performances and at times they look like
Mannequins they look like cones and I think that’s why the fans are so frustrated but when you look at the table sitting in seventh in the Europa League Europa conference League last year is not a bad place to be in so it’s a weird one with David Moyes because I
Feel like the style of football that the fans want I remember when they got skamaker in and they wanted him and Antonio to play up top together and he never did that did he it’s a St of play but Packa is a good player but other
Than that I mean they’ve lost Declan Ry one of the best players in the world and in seventh in the table I think a lot of West Ham fans would take that so sometimes I think you have to have a bit of realism as to where the club’s really
At I’m not sure what the fans want sometimes absolutely they should get better at performances than they did against Arsenal but the last two against brenford and Everton I’ve been re I’ve been really good and I think I was surprised about the brenford game because we were saying on a show wer
With Hugh it could be make or break for David Moyes and I feel like it’s almost make or break all the time for David Moyes it’s a weird one do you know what it’s really interesting isn’t it because I do think that the West Ham fans get a
Little bit irked by sometimes the tone with which David Moyes suggest that they hardly won anything before he came along and saved them yes he has done a brilliant job but it is a club with a rich history and even if it hasn’t always been a successful one there are
Traditions there that you know the longstanding fans want to be respected and ultim West Ham way yeah well I mean you can call it the West Ham way or whatever but actually there’s just the thirst I think in modern football to play in a certain Progressive style
Right and also they were promised a lot when they were they had their tradition of Upton Park taken away from them and they were planted in Stratford now look they’ve slowly but only made that a much better place to be and they’ve slowly but surely under the T of David Moyes
Made that club more competitive than it was before but I do think that there is a massive disconnect between him and the supporters for whatever reason and I don’t think that I don’t think that’s going to be healable even if he does do as you said w win this competition and
Then get them into the Champions League I think even then it’ll be time for him to to leave at the end of the season let’s pause for a moment and go to the Europa conference league tonight uh Brighton in action in their first ever European knockout time what a place to
Go the stadio olympico facing danieli D Rossi’s Roma they were two down at half time the next goal absolutely crucial and it is in the back of the net so who’s it gone to Ian Abrahams it’s gone to roma roma three Brighton nil and this could be the end of their European
Campaign here I’m afraid because this could take some coming back next Thursday at the AMX if it even stays like this it was a ball played in from the left hand side it was a free kick from the left hand side man is the man
Who’s put the ball in the back of there stretching on the volley four yards out on the right hand side of the penalty and it is a goal check of V check for offside if this goal stands which I fancy it will then uh that really is difficulty for Brighton they’re going to
Have to score uh certainly their unbeaten run away from home in this competition is over it’s incredibly tight I’ve Just Seen another replay uh that V decided I think it might stand it’s at the moment Roma 3 bright and nil yeah yeah I mean you’re going to have to
Split that one with a hair it looks like it could be given ons side with the benefit of Doubt and I apologize Brighton fans relegating you to the conference League momentarily there it is the Europa League uh that one of course uh for Brighton this evening about three and a half thousand Brighton
Fans traveling to Rome for the first leg you may or may not have heard in our News Bulletin sadly two seagulls fans stabbed in the buildup to the game neither have non-life-threatening injuries in fact one has already been discharged from hospital one remains in hosital but we wish them both well and
Of course we wish them both a full recovery busy night already in European football just to let you know elsewhere uh in the Europa League uh well zavi Alonzo’s Brian Leverkusen surprisingly I think for many two- down against carab of aaban and over on talk sport two at
Liverpool 4-1 up away from home against Sparta Prague at LS Diaz with the fourth goal on the night for them we’ll head there very very shortly as well but everything going swimmingly so far uh for Jurgen klopp’s side um let’s talk about Rangers cuz Benfica have never
Lost a home match in 27 Europa League games so it might be actually um feeling like it’s not the place that Rangers want to be but it could be a good time because their opponents are still reeling from a 5-n defeat to Rivals Porto at the weekend the team news ahead
Of an 800 PM kickoff is in with talk sports David Tanner good evening here good evening Rangers of a lengthy absentee for this one seven are out injured all attackers Ross Mosin left I Brooks on crutches on Saturday but it makes the bench tonight just two changes mosin’s replacement is Fabio Silva who
Starts against his former Club Tom Lawrence comes into midfield for Nik rascan now both clubs as you mentioned suffered shock defeats in their domestic leagues at the weekend Rangers are still top of the Premiership after losing to motherwell and Benfica are no longer leaders after that capit ulation at
Porto following that they make five changes but World Cup winners anhel de Maria and Nicholas osondi survive the C UTM M was sent off at the weekend and also so read when Rangers Drew 33 at the stadio the loose four years ago under Steven Gerard a stoppage time
Goal by the way by Liverpool’s Darwin Nunes denied Rangers a win that night it’s Benfica against Rangers kickoff in Lisbon is at 8 uh thank you very March we’ll discuss the uh conference league in a few moments before we get there domestically big game this evening in women’s
Football because Arsenal are going to find out who they’re going to face in the Conte Cup final this evening the uh women’s version of The League Cup um two sides above them in the actual League table meet in the other semifinal Chelsea looking to set up a repeat of
Last season showpiece hosting Manchester City it was build as a bit of a grudge match tonight uh getting underway well very very shortly at the joy Stadium let’s look ahead we talk sports Jeff Peters yeah just about to get underway only goal difference separates Manchester City and Chelsea at the top
Of the League City did win away at Chelsea recently but there’s so little between them both in Sensational form 11 wins in 12 for Chelsea 12 in a row for City and they name an unchanged side Lauren James is back from suspension for Chelsea Natalie bjor though is
Unavailable for this ly Poes for conri the other alteration and as you say arsenal will face the winners in the Conte Cup final at molu at the end of the month we are now underway it’s Man City nil Chelsea nil let’s head back to events at the stadio olympico the third
Goal of the night probably game over this one could easily be tie over Ian Abrahams 20 to go you’re right Roma four Brighton nil the third goal by manini was given I have to say it looked well offside to me uh certainly from the V check but it was still given anyway it
Doesn’t matter now because Roman now have a fourth cristante heading the ball home from six yards out clever little ball from the left hand side outside the boot across goal and I have to say when you got people like van heck and Dunc in the middle I have to say where were they
Because they were nowhere near chrisan who six yards out headed into the back of the this now could become any score and you have to say the next week’s game at the MX is pretty much academic is Roma 4 Brighton nil okay let’s head to the conference League Aston Villa
Warming up for that huge Premier League clash with spurs on Sunday with a trip to the yoan cro Arena two former European Cup winners of course facing off watched by Jake Robson 75 on the clock it’s ax nil Aston Villa nil and as you were hearing with moose that tie all
But over this one very much the opposite because going into next week I mean I can’t even see a goal being scored here it has been like that most of the game both teams flattering to deceive Villa making a whole host of changes with uh definitely more than half an ey uh on
That Clash on Sunday that you mentioned against Tottenham they have tried to up the anti in the second half they’ve brought on the likes of cash mcin Bailey Moreno and zanola all of whom were named on the bench uh this evening Dean Aron Bonham have just gone off dii and Rogers
Went off a little earlier on as well so let’s see what’s uh what’s going to be happening in the next few minutes I have to say though the best chances of the match no doubt about it have fallen to the home side they had W in the first
Half but that they didn’t convert through the striker broby slashed at one when he didn’t even test the goalkeeper Martinez and a few minutes ago saucer and Taylor linking up well on the left for aax a one-w that end with Taylor shot from just inside the area straight
At Martinez a good save to be fair but straight at the goalkeeper best chances for ax Villa well they may well be R left to R some lack of creativity and Endeavor this time in in the return leg we shall see it’s ax nil Villa nil Jake
Thank you and Nicolo Zolo Off the Bench booked within two minutes and he will miss at next week’s tie at Villa Park uh just to bring you up to date with the scores then in the conference League at 54 5 kickoff so about 73 minutes played

Games and get an odds update with lad Brooks odds update on talk Sport with lad Brooks we play together terms and conditions apply 18 plus be G or and a chance to learn a little bit more about football on the continent with Nicola MC good evening good evening Hugh how are
You very very well um is this one an easy one to call in terms of the book makers West Ham have already beaten fryberg twice this season so it’s fairly straightforward or not um well it’s closer than you’d think uh but as you said it’s looking good for West Ham
They’ve got a 100% record against the Bundesliga side um and as you said they’re meeting for the third time this season alone it is very close though in the not a great deal between them in terms of the match odds we make the hammer 6 to4 the homes Sider 9 to5 and
The draws 11 to5 but as you can expect over 60% of bets are in favor of West Ham tonight and in terms of qualifying it is good news for West Ham they are odds on at 4 to7 to book a place in the quarterfinal West Ham they’re going to
Be coming here on a high after the beat Everton 3-1 and then brenford before that so you know the tide is turning on the domestic front and they come here with an almost fully fit Squad all signs are positive I think for West Ham tonight and the other side they just
Lack consistency um although they have been consistent when it comes to scoring goals and both teams to score tonight is 5 to six I do think we would see goals tonight going off recent results so I’m surprised over two and a half goals is in shorter but it’s a decent price at 11
To 10 while both teams to scoring over two and 1 half goals is 6 to4 I suppose the big question is can West Ham go all the way to the final in Dublin um well they’re currently 16 want to do that and I can assure you at the top of the
Betting Liverpool will be shortening up from their 13 to8 price right now after that very dominant display uh I think we’ll get goals tonight it’s Rangers of course going away to Benfica two giant football clubs but Rangers always punch above their weight in Europe especially over the last few years are you
Expecting them to get something in Portugal I think so you know I think they’re going to get something out of this and as just said in Europe they have been doing so well it’ll be interesting in terms of who can pick themelves up after they both had defeats
Over the weekend with Rangers suffering a shot one against motherwell but in in general under Philip clont they have been doing so well at home Bena are so strong domestically but they haven’t been up to scratch in their European encounters they’ve just won one in their
Last four so that will be music to Rangers fans ears I think and uh you know they are up against it tonight they’re 4 to1 in the match betting the home side clear favorites at 4 to7 and for those who think Rangers can get something from this which I do and I
Think you do too maybe H draws 16 to5 same for qualification Rangers are The Underdogs at 2 to one but they’ll be desperate just to get something out of this and then I think they can go on and win at the i i Brocks we know how tough
A place it is to go for any traveling team and they’ve already shown in Europe that they’re you know they are a tough team to beat so plenty of optimism and support for the draw tonight keeping our eyes on fora to Mori and Ruben lofter cheek for AC Milan tonight they’re
Taking on slavia Prague do you expect expect them to have an impact um not really this one looks pretty one-sided with AC Milan clear favorites at one to two slavia Prager really up against it at the sanso uh they’re 11-2 to cause an upset the draws
16 to5 although it has to be said AC Milan they’re not in the best of form coming here having just won two in their last five however at the sanero their form is on fire so I can’t see anything but a home and win the golfing class I
Think should be clear to see in this one and AC milander 2 to7 to qualify and third favorite in the competition outright at 7 to one to go all the way so yeah I do a fancy AC milant to win to nil tonight and L five to four uh Nica

Jake Robson where there’s been two red cards tell us more Goodness Me 86 on the clock it’s ax nil Aston Villa nil and barely anything’s happened in this game it’s all been reserved really for the final five minutes as you said we’ve seen double red first up ezri conza he
Was booked early on or Midway through I should say in the first half he’s then got the substitute tuba Acom remember him he’s playing for ax he’s running through on goal and then kza brings him down I have to say it was one of those where I guess it
Probably is a second yellow if you’re if you look at it that way kza really felt that it was a 50-50 tussle the result is that atom was brought down and the referee has given kza a second yellow card Tristan guer as well the man to be
Sent off for Villa a couple of minutes later a second yellow for him and the perhaps slight advantage that ax might have had well obviously that has now been fritted away as it’s 10 B 10 as far as the actual onfield actual go mouth action goes it has been extremely sparse
In this match ax with a best two chances really one in either half they squandered them both and it looks like we’re going to go back to astonvilla next week uh all square three to play Ajax nil Aston Villa nil let’s go to the Conte cup semi-final we’ve already got a
Goal Jeff Peters yeah Chelsea leading Manchester City here by a goal to nil scored by Lauren James after 8 minutes and Manchester City The Architects of their own downfall Alexandri gave the ball away a misplaced pass um it was Myra Ramirez who pushed forward played
It into the path of James her shot took a deflection it wrong-footed keting and they made another mistake not long after that through wahabi and it allowed Ramirez a chance but her effort was blocked so Chelsea are on top here as Man City come looking to get on level
Terms but they shoot off Target really bright Open start here Manchester City nil Chelsea one positive news for Liverpool fans Mo Sala back out on the pitch today as he returns from injury got back to training on Tuesday he’s just put the ball in the back of the net
Against Roma but it has been disallowed for offside anyway he’s made a positive impact straight away so he looks like he’ll be in good form for the big game against Manchester City at the weekend we’ll be there very very shortly they still lead Sparta Prague by four goals

Soon and lean Sanderson um ahead of our commentary between fryberg and West Ham United I’m just looking up at the screens the full-time whistle has gone in Amsterdam let’s get the report from Jake Robson ax no Aston Villa no that is fulltime not 90 minutes to write home
About for either side really Villa making five changes for it with that impending Premier League Showdown against Tottenham on Sunday and they never really got going I have to say the game really splattered into life with about 5 minutes to go when we had a red
Card a piece one for either side both for second bookable offenses ezri kza was shown one and uh the right back for Ajax Tristan goyer as well similar situations both of them bringing down players when they’d already been on yellow cards not really much of a
Complaint as far as I was concerned they of course said their peace with the referee I think Villa will probably be the less happy of the two sides aax they’ll fancy their chances coming over here next week not really much uh trouble that they were in at all this
This evening and that’s how it finished ax nil Aston Villa nil right remember here on talk sport a very important evening for West Ham United at venturing Into The Knockout stages is uh tonight in the Europa League heading to fryberg trying to put one foot in the quarterfinals just by
Picking up a solid result to bring back to the London Stadium and I think you can Define that result for Aston Villa as solid if not uninspiring but let’s get a team news recap ahead of our live game here on talk Sport with Sam masterace well fryberg have uh kept the
Same team that Drew 22 on Friday night with Bayern Munich another bloody noose for Thomas TL’s manam fryberg dispatched here although they haven’t won in their last last six games um in the Bundesliga and they’ll look to try and put that right against the West Ham team who’ve
Already beaten them twice this season watch out for Grio playing from the left hand side he takes all the set pieces Salah who plays up front you might have seen him play against England before um Hungary he scored in the Playoff round against lws as they mounted a comeback
To win that game and earn a place in the last 16 to play West Ham who have made just the one change from their victory over Everton and and it was fabianski switching in for arola who had a great game during that match at goodison Park
The rest of the team looks like this so foul is the right back mavropanos suuma and Emerson the back four Alvarez and W prow holding in Midfield with Kudos soek and patar behind Jared boen in attack let’s quickly go to talk sport 2 for the final minute of Liverpool’s game
Against Sparta prag which we brought you live I can tell you that Dominic zish has just made it a five-star performance for Liverpool because they are 51 up now but let’s get the closing stages nonetheless with a former West Ham Defender Scott MTO and talk sports Joe
Shenon sort of overran it overplayed it should have played it a little bit earlier and by the time he took the shot there was a couple of Defenders coming down on him but he was able to get the short shot away and in the end joggen Klo must be absolutely delighted with
This he certainly will as we welcome listeners from talk sport the final whistle goes in Prague and Liverpool surely are already through to the Europa League quarterfinals they have won here by five goals to one on what has been an almost perfect night for Jurgen klopp who’ll now have the opportunity to rest
Players in between the uh Manchester City game in the Premier League on Sunday and the quarterfinal of the FA Cup Manchester United the following weekend the game that is live on talk sport because the second leg will surely be a non-event here Alexis McCallister got the scoring started early on from
The penalty spot two very well taken goals from Darwin Nunes had Liverpool 3-0 up at halim Sparta prag did create numerous chances and Connor Bradley’s own goal made it 3-1 very early on in the second half but Luis Diaz and Dominic saos scored for Liverpool to give them a deserved 5-1 Victory mosana
Got onto the field Off the Bench his first appearance since mid-February after injury he did get on the score sheet he had a goal ruled out after a v check for offside still not quite sure exactly why that was disallowed but a great night all around for Liverpool and
Now the prospects of Manchester City in the Premier League to come at the weekend fulltime Sparta Prague one as Sparta Prague W Liverpool five yeah so a fantastic night for Jurgen KS Liverpool and Joe is absolutely right it will give them the ability to concentrate on the
Bigger games over the next week that they have of course Manchester City this week kend I mean a Manchester United going to be a problem for Liverpool in the FA Cup I’m not sure but yeah they get to rest players next Thursday at home as they take a three-goal lead into
That second leg uh it hasn’t been a great first leg out in Rome for Brighton in the Europa League they Trail by four goals to nil they’re into the final minute of time added on let’s go to talk sports Ian Abrahams yes a defeat in Rome which looks like being tourament ending
If I’m really honest for Brighton they were behind on 12 minutes long ball through the middle of the par not cut out by LS dunk and dybala went round goalkeeper Jason steel put it in the net there was a lengthy V check of a couple of minutes but he was cleared as being
On side played on side by T L that was 1 n two n before halftime though Raman Lukaku had ahead of really well saved early on by Steel didn’t miss when again long ball over the top right hand side A Bad Touch by dunk didn’t get a chance
For a second one straight onto it was romu Lukaku inside the penalty are and beat steel at his near post Brighton had chances in the first half limited though ding with a shot which came back off the post after being deflected well back with a header he also had a header in
The second half well back but really second half belonged to Roma after Lukaku had a shot saved and by the way the final whistle has just gone manini stretched to reach a ball in from the left hand side and score did look offside but it was given off V check and
Chrisant headed in from 6 yds out uh to make it 4-0 that was before the 7 minute Mark the second leg will be at the MX Stadium next week but after defeat in the Eternal City Brighton’s interested this competition H looks anything but Eternal it finished Roma 4 Brighton nil
Really intrigued to know how the Brighton fans feel about Roberto derer in their Brighton team right now it’s not the first time this season that they have faced a heavy defeat yes I know it’s away from home it’s a big game against Roma but um I’m intrigued to
Know what they think about the style because errors at the back have kind of typified some of the goals they’ve conceded and we saw that again this evening could they be a little bit more pragmatic and kept them themselves in the tie going into the second leg
Because now they need a miracle anyway sports bar coming up at 10 p.m. you’ll be able to have yours say 0371 7234 and if you want to send the guys a voice note now you can do that on WhatsApp at the same number just tell us

More to come this evening no less with our game fryberg taking on West Ham from 8:00 p.m. but it’s time now to look ahead to the latest football action with lad Brooks the big preview on talk Sport with lad Brooks we play together terms and conditions apply 18 plus be gam.org
Lean Sanderson the former s is forward and Sam Mata face will be with you for the game Let’s quickly talk about British clubs in in fact English clubs let’s call it that in European competition and the reason that I I I refer to English clubs primarily is
Because for a lot of people it’s all about which nation will get that extra Champions League spot fans of villa Spurs Manchester United may be listening most closely to this at the moment as it stands both Italy and Germany will be getting an extra spot but England not
Far behind in third place and when you look at the competitions you think English clubs could go deeply and Manchester City excuse me Liverpool and Aston Villa a favorite in their respective competitions Manchester City favorites in the Champions League as well so for those three do you think
They can go all the way yeah I mean I said it before we said it on the show loads of times here about Arsenal but obviously they’ve got that second second leg against Porto and I don’t want to fit that same agend everyone says Aral
Crumble at the final HD or when it when it really gets difficult in the pressure so I think if they lose that it will be a real Devastation for the fans but I think with Manchester City they like you know people said this year they don’t
Look as good as they was last year but they won the like the treble last year so big expectations at the club but they finally feel like you know it’s finally coming into fruition I think you know you look at the teams from England in its entirety you know Brighton losing
Tonight 4-0 in the first s against Roma that that’s not a great result is it great result for the coefficient lean because obviously Italy are one of those clubs that England are competing with to try and get that extra place in the Champions League next year so that
Doesn’t help the coefficient uh the B leusen result ended 22 so they’ve come back from two goals down which shows the powers that chabby Alonzo’s got to recover Germany another one that they’re competing that’s why this game’s massive this ties is massive because Germany is another uh country that England is
Competing with so West Ham could do us a massive favor by winning these two legs yeah and Aston Villa as well I think obviously they’re doing bits in the conference league and we saw the magnitude of to that last year when West H won it so every Club has different
Goals and aspirations and I think you know with ailla this year they’re absolutely flying under U Emory so you know it’s good to see the teams doing well but I just think yeah that result for Brighton especially first EG is going to be difficult for them to come
Back from but I think other teams like Manchester United and Tottenham obviously going to be eagerly anticipating you know if there’s another team that gets to go into the Champions League ultimately H I always say you know with the teams like Manchester United there’s a squad good enough at
This moment in time to really compete in the Champions League it’s not so it’s all very well getting there great like we did last year and we’re it this year and it just can’t compete so you need a better Squad yeah well I think several of our sides need to improve in European
Competition in terms of what we produced this season it’s not going to be enough to get us that extra spot every year and I know that’s what fans want you’re not going to be perfect in every single season and of course there is strong competition but with the strength of the
Premier League actually it’s the Champions League where I think sides could have done a lot better we’ve seen in previous years haven’t we we’ve we’ve kind of got four teams into the last St of the champ chions league if we could have done that it would have been a
Massive massive boost in the end wasn’t to be we had two sides finishing bottom of their group and that in the end is is probably what could cost England that fifth spot in the Champions League long way to go but after tonight’s results maybe not too uh confident about England
Picking up the extra place we shall see anyway long way to go like I mentioned um all thanks to lab Brooks that conversation 18 plus big gble aw.org the big preview on talk Sport with lad Brooks we play together terms and conditions apply 18 plus b gam.org and

Just makes you wanted more it was the first trophy that I’ve I’ve ever won and you know that kind of hunger it gives inside you to to give again for you know your teammates and then for the fans as well it’s you know special for everybody
With AC cross from the right hand side good delivery and it’s headed home by pakar fryberg nil West Ham one well there’s a bit of history between West Ham and fryberg and no it’s not just because they’re meeting in the last 16 of the Europa League tonight and
It’s the third time they’ve played against each other this season it’s because they first met almost a 100 years ago in May of 1924 when the londoners became the first English team to visit Germany after the end of the first world war six years earlier they just finished a first ever
Top Flight campaign they went out for a five match postseason tour which saw the Hammers beat cologne Manheim munchin gladbach and Frankfurt before their final game against fryberg which their hosts won by five goals to two inflicting West Ham’s first ever away defeat by European opposition they’re
Out to avoid another tonight live on talk sport kickoff coming at 8:00 p.m. let’s hear from the West Ham Boston David Moy speaking ahead of the time in Germany he said his side is starting to hit form at the right time I obviously want us to have another another great
Run in in Europe I would like us also to finish strong and hopefully qualify for Europe again uh in the league I I agree we we’ve had we’ve had a month or so where we’ve not been so good but I think that uh we’re back on form at the moment
We’ve won two two good games recently and uh I just sense that we’re beginning to get back to to where we should be so I hope that we can show that so David Moyes very positive heading into this game let’s go back to Sam matterface and the former Arsenal and Juventus forward
Lean Sanderson let’s talk about West Ham possibly prioritizing the Europa League uh in terms of how far they can go in this competition does it depend on basically putting it front and center a little bit like they did in terms of winning the Europa conference League we
Know that meant 14th in the Premier League last season that won’t happen this time around but it certainly did affect their domestic form do you think it will happen again this season yeah I mean I think you know with the fans I think it’s interesting know to know what
Exactly what they want but they’re top of the group you know won five games in the group lost one seventh in the Premier League but I think last year when they won the Europa conference League you know they finished like 16th in the league and it was almost like no
One was really talking about the league but I think this year there’s more emphasis on where they are in the league and the performances they’re having so I think with West Ham fans like I said you have to have a realistic perspective on the squad they have and with David Moyes
I think they are somewhat overachieving with the individuals they have and that sounds crazy to say I’m not talking about the Arsenal game before people jump down my throat I’m talking about overall when you look at the squad they have is David Moyes maximizing the individuals some might say that some
Might say not but I think the style of play that he plays is not what the fans would want but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for Hugh because someone else might come in there and they’re seventh they’re in the Europa League but this this competition is not
An easy competition to win so just because they’re in it doesn’t I think with as English teams we expect we should win everything we’re in I get that but there’s some still good teams within this competition and Europa conference league is completely different the Europa Europa League last
Year arsenal were expected to win it then they didn’t it’s not an easy competition to win but the fact that if they do win it imagine if they were to win it very very if they were to win it big if they then qualify for the Champions League that’s crazy what world
Are are we in when Seventh Place West Ham eighth place Newcastle and Ninth Place Brighton are asking you we’re asking questions about are they all going in the right direction the answer is quite broadly yes they’re all going in the right direction maybe not necessarily at the pace not as smoothly
As maybe everybody would like but those three clubs should be immune to scrutiny I think I mean West Ham United got a slightly different problem the relationship between the manager and the fans is fractured that’s a different issue but West Ham a seventh in the Premier League you know you just said
Are they going to focus on this competition no they’re not they’re not going to put all their eggs in this basket because they can finish six they think they can finish above Manchester United this year and there’s a distinct possibility that they can I understand that and a focus on the Premier League
Is yeah is important but when you think about what that conference league title has done for West Ham United in terms of the memories and the moments that the fan shared you know we always have this argument over trophy versus you know we talk about top four you know would you
Take a a League Cup or a top four finish when we’re talking about other clubs for example can do both you can do both at this stage of the season if you’re in the if you’re in this competition and you’re challenging for the league you
Can do both you can you you’ve got the a big enough Squad to be able to do that I I don’t know Sam if West Ham do have a big enough Squad if I’m being honest I think individually there’s certain players like pakata James wpr obviously
Bowen good players but I think you know the demand as we’ve seen in Newcastle this year it was always going to be difficult for them in the Champions League with the squad that they have so I think again Sam’s right what he’s said about the fractured relationship between
David Moyes and the fans but seventh in the league and sometimes I think you know what do these fans want you know these clubs are not that big they’re big clubs but relatively speaking when it comes to individuals I think they’re maximizing what they’ve got just very
Quickly as we look ahead to the game lean some of those special players in the West Ham team who’ you expect to have an effect tonight I mean Jared Bowen obviously top player you know begging a hatrick against brenford and people are talking a lot about him being
Picked for England I still don’t think it’s a full gone conclusion but I think pakata I like him a lot you know when he’s on the board getting between the lines and you know they’ve got some good players but again those players have to play at their best for Westown to have a
Chance in this competition individually okay all right well listen this game uh just the start if you like of the weekend the long run into the weekend tomorrow night on talk sport 2 big Championship action important fixture for both the top and bottom Sheffield Wednesday taking on lead on Saturday lunchtime exclusive kickoff
Here in the Premier League on talk sport is Manchester United against Everton we’ll have two games for you on talk sport 2 lunchtime cardi FIP switch walles versus Fulham in the Premier League at 3 pm. before more live games on Sunday as well Huddersfield West Brom at midday Tottenham Manchester City in
The women’s FA Cup quarterfinal all ends exclusively on Monday night with Chelsea against Newcastle but I’ll leave you with West Ham United not phased by Europa League knockout football a third straight season in European football for the club that best run in history they’re certified European Champions the
Question is can they go one better this year it’s the last 16 of the Europa League live on talks board as fryberg host West Ham with the former England Striker lean Sanderson and talk sport Sam atace you thank you very much it wasn’t long ago that there was a width
Of Revolt in the air at West Ham United but in the University Town of fryberg Southwest Germany protests have been quelled and the focus has turned to passing the latest exam eight matches without a win LED for to do better but after Premier League victories over bredford and Everton the Gaze turns back
To Europe and to Germany and German might just be David moy’s specialist subject West Ham graduated through the group stage top of the class in no small part thanks to Home and Away victories over fryberg but the Germans won their other three home matches in the Europa League and on Friday night they
Frustrated Bayern Munich here they are a club that play the underdog very well they have a reputation in Germany of pulling tough situations back from the brink a a bit like those at the nearby University who are predicted to fail cram and Ace their final exam referee tonight Alejandro herandez Hernandez he
Once failed to give a goal that was a goal in a game involving Barcelona tonight he will take charge of fryberg against West Ham the third meeting of these two over the course of this season they met twice in the group stage Victory on both occasions for West Ham
United unchanged apart from the goalkeeper from the weekend Victory against Everton and fryberg with white jerseys with red sleeves red shorts and Red Socks attacking the goal away to our left we watch West Ham all in blue kick off in the first half out of bolo sadila
Ginta Gula G the back for hfer in Midfield with danan eggestein holla and Grio on the flank behind salai in attack West Ham United already on the offensive with the ball cleared up for field and over the halfway line so lean serson European nights always special but how
Do West Ham make it three wins on the spin against fryberg here’s an early chance into the box goes towards salai who gets challenged by soou as the ball comes down the right hand side and into the area yeah you know you can see in this competition you have to stay switched
Don’t we saw last year in the conference seag when Aaron Creswell got sent off in that game and they can create an opportunity forg at any time we’ve mentioned it Sam two games you know 2-0 and 2-1 it wasn’t like the easiest to easiest games for West Ham so they need
To stay switched on well fryberg have started on the front foot they have a corner over on the far side which is whipped in toward WS the near post it’s headed Away by Emerson then cus will scramble it clear towards the halfway line it’s a tightly packed Stadium this the stadium
Un vles dorf and uh it’s uh got two tiers all the way around the grass looks a little bit patchy it must be said and I’m sure that West Ham United would love to escape from here with a victory tonight to take back to London next week
A minute and a half played West Ham attacking the goal away to our right atabul the goalkeeper has it at his feet for fryberg inside the area just takes a couple of steps to his right all in Gray today and then threatens to kick it waits invites the Press from West Ham
That isn’t forthcoming they’re not overc committing here and fryberg will play out from the back one thing I think West Ham fans could be excited about is these four players you know Bowen James War prow moham kudu and pakata once they get going they’re interchangeable you can
See James wpr early on dropping into that nine roll Jared Bowen equally comfortable dropping in the 10 and I think the interchangeability between those players is really key but then at the back you know with Zuma and sufa they need to make sure they sharp Shar in those situations because you can’t be
Leaking goals within this competition soal sends the ball in towards the edge of the air it’s chested down by soek inside the box right at the top of the 18 yd area Doan will take it away to The Far Side being chased by petta and by
James W prow and it escapes over on the far side and goes out for a throw in fryberg have battled back from deficits in each of their last three home games against IR TR Frankfurt lawence and Bayern Munich so West Ham will have to be on guard even if they do hit the
Front tonight but overall the Germans are not in great form they haven’t won any of their last six League games ball Loos in Midfield and before the Escape can go on from zai free kick is given against the Hungarian and West Ham have a free kick five yards inside fryberg territory Yeah
You mentioned it Sam you know I think a lot of people expect when the english team are in these competitions playing against a team in the Bundesliga currently sitting in ninth it’s a fullo conclusion it doesn’t work like that some teams you know seem to be able to
Turn it on could a lovely ball into the box headed into the air and it goes High towards the goal line claims that it went behind the line and out for a set piece and that’s what’s been given think it came off the head of eggstein Who
Rose and headed it into the air and the corner eventually given by our referee tonight and uh it is H out on this near side the way for a corner this is where I think West Ham could really capitalize James War prow has got one of the best deliveries
Probably in the world his delivery is fantastic and he makes taking set pieces look so easy I think someone that’s really underplayed within the men’s game of late most of them struggled to beat the front post and it always astounds me here is W prow right footed arcing the ball away
From the goalkeeper towards the penalty spot it’s a strong header away it’s already pushing and shoving inside the penalty area and that header from ginta is irrelevant but it was a strong one so who was penalized inside the box for pushing over he uh crunched into the back I think of
Hler yeah definite foul good delivery from James W prow SK was in the right area definite free kick in the end from Su and fryberg have the ball again the captain on this near touch line Guna tries to send it Forward Grio retrieves it as it escapes off the perimeter of
The pitch towards the technical areas a huge technical area down below us which is being patrolled at this moment in time by the manager of uh fryberg Christian strike and what they do do fryberg is carrying an attacking threat lean they are the competition’s top scorers West
Ham have to be alert to that or were the top scorers in the competition before Liverpool started today yeah they do have to be alert and obviously Grio scoring as well from set pieces being really dangerous from those areas not to give away cheap free kicks and we know
Again like I said Within These competitions teams sometimes come alive ball sent from the leftand side of the West Ham half right footed into the box arcing towards the penalty spot up went egin to try and win the header it’s out of play towards The Far Side recycled by
Cilia uh eventually smuggled Away by mavropanos and then upfield by Kudos and it’s cleared away through the middle by West Ham United ball bounces on this near touch line Grio heads it into the air but a Head tennis going on in the middle of the park James W prow
Scrapping for the ball right on the edge of the center circle it goes back to the heart of the defense and goulda and then across to ginta ginta up high towards the right hand side soila comes forward once again in it goes to egin and then
All the way back to the heart of the defense once more West Ham’s back toback Wings in the Premier League just tempered the irritated sentiment that seems to cloak them constantly back up to seventh in the league Moyes yesterday suggesting he believed that he thought his team were just about to return to
Where they should be yeah it’s difficult it’s interesting to know you know I’ve said it many times before I think that this connect between the fans but I think West Ham right now they’re in a good place with regards to in the Europa League sitting in seventh
I think you asked a few West H fans a few years ago if that was going to be a real realistic expectation win a European CH uh Trophy and then to be in the Europa League into being seventh you know I think a lot of them would have
Been your hand off if you would have said that but performance- wise I think the fans just want a little bit more I think they’ve got players we’re seeing six minutes into the game samam you know the work rate of James War prow and jarro Bowen every time the ball goes
Back I question their work rate obviously against Arsenal in those games and I completely get it cuz losing is losing we all hate losing but it’s how you lose and it was embarrassing those types of performances but right now 7 minutes into the game they look really
Organized and compact in those areas and and dangerous when they do get on the ball maybe they could catch fber on the counter fryberg have dominated possession so far in the game 75% of it has been for them and they had a line share of the ball for two or three
Minutes before sending it into the far corner for syila to Chase he didn’t quite reach it goes out for a throw and Emerson will toss it in from the left fullback position he finds Lucas pakar who holds off cilia tries to get down the right side the ball goes out of play
And it’s a fryberg throw West Ham weren’t as convincing as the score line appears at the weekend they won that game at Everton because basically the toughies can’t finish and arola played an absolute Blinder in that game de boys won’t be wanting to give up too many
Chances tonight no for sure arota has been fantastic you know at times when he’s been called up on and it could have been way many goals more goals leaking than they had and I think obviously in this competition we know fabianski is that starting goalkeeper defense has been there ailles
Hill I think over the course of the season they conceived far too many shots West Ham United they ranked 19th in the league for shots faced at their own goal and uh I think if you look at the number of goals they’ve conceded at this stage
Of the season it’s more than any other Premier League season in which they’ve competed in which I think will be a concern for David Moyes that is something that they’re going to have to plug if they want to uh compete for sixth place as they do and in this
Trophy away to our right hand side behind the goal rberg the support in white shirts lots of them with white Tops on over whatever it is they’re wearing to ensure that they’re visible behind that goal they’re bouncing in unison as they try to provide the soundtrack to what they hope will be a
Famous victory tonight 9 Minutes gone patar has it Far Side on the left Cuts him towards the edge of the penalty area tries to play Reverse ball into bow and it’s C out on the Edge by ginta and then cleared out towards The Far Side egin leads the
Attack Sal picks it up turns looks forward sweeps it out towards the near touch line taken down by gun and then infield to Grio Grio across into the middle and hfer who holds in Midfield just in front of the center circle he is when he pushes it out wide danan the
Japanese International finds cilia and then once again West Ham get into that shape that you were talking about that keeps fryberg arms length yeah it’s difficult to break down and and I’ll give him that but I do think that West Ham at times needs to get
Higher up the field of play I think you know maver Panos and Kurt Zuma when the ball goes back to the goalkeepers as we’re seeing now I think then they got to get a little bit higher at times it looks like if Jared Bowen up there he’s
Isolated on his own and then James War prow it’s like picking their moments and trying to set traps you know for them to beat the Press but it’s going to be difficult for this fber team to break down this West Ham team but it’s almost like they have to pick their moments of
When they do so think we’ll go off to uh find out what’s happening with David Tanner in just a moment benf playing r tonight in the Europa League we’ also got Cony cup action this evening with Manchester City taking on Chelsea the winners of whom will face
Arsenal ball sent wide towards the right as uh fryberg look at it collected by sybila who’s had a lot of the ball so far in the game he came through the academy and which originally was headed up by Christian strike West Ham reached the semi-finals in this competition in
2022 those two games against in Trak Frankfurt were rather disappointing they won the conference league in 2023 what a game that was what a night that was in Prague and they won another strong showing in Europe ball sent wide out towards zilia won by Edison Alvarez up to pakaru Phils he
Was failed by cilia the referee says he was and they look to come on the attack here hura sends it out Far Side sbil has got it once again Salah is moving up towards the edge of the AAS fryberg come forward West Ham back pedal and get into
Shape it’s picked up on the right hand side by Salah who sends it to Sil Billa H is waiting in the center for the cross but Salah is well outside the penalty area here he shuffled it back into hler now it’s wide out to Grio and then gint
G is is dispossessed by kudas and it’s out for a throw in a good work rate there from kudas to get across but you can see it’s quite pragmatic from fryberg when they’re getting the ball in those areas you know they have to find a way to get through West Ham I
Don’t actually think that was a foul on pakata but at times you know he’s picking up the ball so deep and he’s isolated on his own he’s a fantastic footballer we know that commentator Cur says he gives away the ball but you know he is very good on the ball but at times
He’s so isolated and I still think West Ham is sitting very deep you know they started the game Bowen and James wpr kind of pressing from the front but right now that for me they’re sitting too deep and inv fighting the pressure on danan down the right hand side
Weaving his way to the left edge of the area tries a strike it’s blocked by Edson Alvarez and it’s repelled to the Midway point of the fryberg half but it’s all fryberg at this moment in time 81% possession of the football so far and whether you’re home or away or
Whether you’re a big team or a small team 81% possession for your opponents is never attractive unless of course you Nick in a away goal here’s David Tanner watching Benfica race Rangers and it’s Benfica nil Rangers one Sam Rangers were battered for 6 minutes then went up the park for the first time
A terrific cross from the left cut back by Muhammad diandi and there was Tom Lawrence with a terrific header from the penalty spot incredibly it’s Benfica nil Rangers W hos steps out for West Ham nil nil in Germany Kus takes it on remember Liverpool Victorious tonight Brighton absolutely pummeled away in Rome and
Aston Villa nil nil in their game with Ajax in Amsterdam the second legs next week the same time here on the left hand side Grio has it right foot across into the box Panos reads it voles it away from the dead center of his own penalty area up towards Jared Bowen who wriggles
Away from One Challenge and he looks at the referee and says I’m pretty sure that goulda tug me back there and Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez eventually blows his whistle and gives the free kick to the English side and for me that that should be a booking you know it
Looked like Jared Bowen did really well to spin G there it was three play and 3v1 and he had no right to really Come Away With The Ball but I think that’s a booking you know they looked like they could have been away potentially on a
Break yeah it’s on the halfway line but it kind of stopped him in his motion yeah well that is the definition of breaking up a promising attack isn’t it that should have been a yellow card 14 minutes gone and it’s fryberg nil West Ham United nil lean Sanderson
Alongside me Sam at a first in the commentary box we bring you live action from Germany tonight and uh West Ham United hoping to continue their good record in Europe over the last couple of years so fighting to try and get hold of the ball with h hler hler went down pretty softly
After using his body to outmuscle se soek as so went around the other side of him he just seemed to throw himself to the ground yeah I mean so as soon as you put your hands on another player you know they don’t need a second invitation
To go down it was soft but he did pull his shirt but we s Che as well I mean we talk about strength in depth you know you look at this West Ham team and Calvin Phillips since he’s come there you know I said I had no doubt that he would be
Great and now he’s on the bench and he hasn’t really got off to a great start in his West Ham career and obviously Alvarez and suek are playing in those positions that I expected at least Calvin Phillips to get a run of games you know and and kind of cement that
Spot down I’m sure that’s what West Ham were thinking as well when they got him in it’s been fascinating over the last couple of weeks to watch because James H prow has been playing alongside Alvarez then he’s been switching with so so’s been playing as the number to 10
Recently that’s why he’s crashed in with so many goals in the last few few matches he’s he’s he’s done brilliantly in terms of his goal scoring output but tonight it is soek alongside Alvarez in the heart of that Midfield as you say ball whipped in towards the near post by
Fryberg who come on the attack egin has it edge of the area tries to nudge it back down the right to Salah doesn’t quite reach him and it’s cleared away out on the far side by West Ham W prow scar e to the touch line under pressure
From danan and then from the left fullback area it’s clipped forward by em into the chest of boen who quickly nudges it back to pakar he then returns it to boen now who’s got four red shirts in front of him not much help but he runs down the Left Channel waiting for
Those to arrive Kus is coming inside the penalty area and boen shoots from a near impossible angle he hits the target but it’s a very comfortable save by Noah atabo yeah I mean it was he had every right to take the shot on it was an aute
Angle from the left down side but there wasn’t really much on for him I think that’s a bit of a concern for me every time the players are getting the ball they’re quite isolated J B in in that area of Pata when they’re picking up the
Ball and I still think like a lot of teams in the English Premier League are lacking that out and Out Center forward I still think obviously before certain players signed for West down Mel Antonio there was a lot of focus on him being up there on his own and quite isolated
Whereas right now you know they’ve got excellent ball players on the ball but at times they’re getting the ball and there’s not really many options you know kudus is tucking in on the right hand side doing a really go good job organizationally on this right hand side but the attack they’re quite isolated
When they pick up the ball well ham used to benefiting from set pieces themselves they’ll be wary not to give away too many of FR to fryberg tonight their Italian International wing of penzo Grio one of the best set peace takers in the bundes league for years he scored 11
Goals and set up nine across the Bundesliga in Europa League this season last year it was 17 goals and six assists so they’ll be careful not to give away too many chances on the edge of the penalty area where they are defending now West Ham with so foul just
Overrunning the ball just a little bit he did well enough to keep hold of it into that right corner but then didn’t release it Forward quick enough and now from Deep Edson Alvarez former Ajax player strides forward with it at his feet see that’s the difference for me
Sam between you know I know there’s a big difference between Dean rice and Alvarez but that’s when I think you have to go back to front quicker Alvarez picks up the ball you know super was coming inside looking for an option eventually Alvarez tucked in but then he
Plays a ball out to the left hand side to Emerson that’s when the diagonal ball has to come you can see pakatan made that run on the left and it was too slow slow eventually you know it gives fryberg an opportunity to kind of get back into position and they regain
Possession and it’s all too slow for me nil nil live on talk sport tonight what has been a busy night of Europa League and Europa conference League action carberg 2 by Leverkusen two as West Ham commit a foul which gives him free kick fryberg just in front of the
Halfway line Roma beat Brighton 40 Sparta Prague beaten at home by Liverpool by five goals to one it could have been more Rangers one nil up against Benfica Mars nil Villa nil AC Milan nil slavia prag nil and fryberg nil West Ham United nil and that’s our concentration tonight on fryberg against
West Ham for the third time this season danan into cilia right side of the West Ham half they play it down the touch line a little flick off Emerson it goes out for a throw they take it quickly eggstein plays it into the center of Midfield collected by hler who turns
Under a little bit of pressure from James for prow they don’t move the ball that quickly either fryberg and uh slow up before they reach the edge of the area a shot from distance from Egan is’s way over the top of the bar and it’s a
Goal kick away to our left to West Ham United in the conference league tonight ax Drew nil nil with Aston Villa in the early kickoff and any other big results that come your way we will let you know both lean and I were quite surprised to
See macabi Tel Aviv beat olympos 4-1 in preus tonight yeah that’s crazy and this is what these competitions can do Sam with regards to you know the underdog we saw carabat go 2-n up against labus and labus and then pull it back so this is what this competition can do with teams
That are are the under they got nothing to lose you know teams like furg ninth in the Bundesliga come into these type you can see the fans what it means to the fans to be in these types of competitions could have has it right side trying to steer it into the penalty
Area for West Ham he cuts in left footed ARS the ball towards the edge of the six-yard Box cleared Away by gun and out towards this near side and Salah now will pick it up the Hungarian bouns forward at PACE he’s got danan down the right hand side he tries to play a
Reverse ball into the center a sort of inventive little flick which didn’t quite come off and West Ham tidy up get the ball back and look to come forward with Edson Alvarez it’s nil nil 20 minutes gone on talk sport yeah salai there could have made a better
Opportunity to play the ball out wide it was a good recovery from Su but I still think you know maybe this is where the West Ham fans do have a point because you look at the quality of the players they have have pakata is now dropping
All the way deep almost into the left back position he doesn’t need to be there doesn’t need to do that so I think a lot of the players need to be passed on because you’ve got pakata James war press having to go so deep when Kurt
Zuma and M Panos are there so they could have passed him on get the ball you know it’s easier said than done into those defensive areas and then look for a quick switch cuz right now yes fber have had all the possession we know that stands for nothing if they don’t create
Opportunities but West Ham are kind of very pedantic very slow not moving the ball back to front quick enough and then it gets turned over yeah looks like West Ham have come with a clear game pan to ensure that They Come Away with something tonight and it is as you say a
Bit pedestrian so far 21 gone listening to talk Sport and for fryberg we’ve mentioned how the fans are really much buying into the situation here and getting involved with the atmosphere away to our right hand side it is a miracle that they are in the Europa League if you think West Ham are
European or regulars May be punching a little bit above their usual station and it’s worth knowing that fryberg have never won a major Trophy and not so long ago they dropped into the second tier of German Football yeah it’s absolutely brilliant for a team like fryborg and
You can see why the fans are so you know I think sometimes some clubs have to be a little bit realistic as to where they’re at and I think sometimes you mentioned it before Sam with the teams you know with like of Brighton and West
Ham it’s almost like fans have to have a realism as to where their clubs at but then again when you’re in these competitions it’s easier said than done you know when you’re in it you think we’ve got all these players that can be doing far better than they are individually and they
Don’t ball sent wide out towards the right for West Ham to try and come on the Counterattack soou has it near side plays it into Bo little flick to cudas Kus edge of the area left footed and he could have taken an extra touch actually
Driven into the box or tried to nudge it into the path of pakaru moved into the 18 yd box but he went for the Hollywood and he just completely shanked it and fired it way over the top of the crossbar and it’s been a long time since
Muhamad Kus ended up finding the back of the net last goal was before Christmas against Manchester United yeah and I know obviously the West Ham fans when he went to the African Cup of Nations with gner they were going to miss him in his goals I think he’s been brilliant since
He went there I remember at the World Cup in Qatar Sam there was talks about him potentially going to Liverpool you know and I think he did well when he first got there but the goals have definitely dried up that’s a bit erratic from him he should be doing better from
There but it was a good little back heill from boing but it’s good they’re getting in those areas cuz cuz like I said those types of players need to be up higher up the field of play pak’s dropping so deep and I get it trying to pull strings but really it’s ineffective
If you’re that deep you can’t affect the other goal here come fryberg right hand side danan tried to squeeze it into the box but pakar blocked his effort to do so it comes back out to hler he feeds the ball to eggstein and then it goes wide to
Sabilia and his cross is met by Salah but it’s well over the top and he was heading the ball from impossible angle really it was almost sort of towards the back of his head and he flicked it up from a good 15 16 yards away from goal
Always going to be difficult to trouble the goalkeeper from there and it went over the top and out for a goal kick away to our left so we played a quarter of the match and it’s fryberg nil West Ham United nil live on talk sport tonight and remember tomorrow night
Championship action for you on talk sport 2 Saturday and we’re in a run of 12 games in seven days of commentary on the T Sport Network there’s only 10 games to go in the championship the efl is certainly hotting up there’s no doubt about it Leicester city Southampton ipswitch toown and leads
United all fighting for automatic promotion places in the championship I was at Huddersfield against Le last Saturday and you could just see just a little bit of weariness creeping into Leeds United they will have to go again tomorrow night Sheffer Wednesday against Leeds is live on talk sport 2 with 10 to
Go in the championship it’s crazy to think that we’re almost the end of the season you know I feel like this season’s gone so so quick but there’s still a lot to play for a lot of football to play for and a lot of games coming quick and far Sam and is
Fantastic I mean obviously the Manchester Derby last weekend as a man united fan I was dreading it going into it and enduring it I thought actually this isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be you on the show last Thursday I said I was dreading it and we
Were poor no doubt in that but that’s what you’ve got now isn’t it look see you’re happy with a 3-1 to no I’m not happy never will be happy with that but genuine I thought it was going to be five or six before the game Manchester United formed part of our commentary uh
Installment on Saturday 12:30 they take on Everton everon who were beaten by West Ham but not easily two 90th minute goals from David moy’s side sealed all three points it’s goess here with 24 gone this is talk sport egin over on the far side cilia with a delivery into the
Box which should be gloved rather easily by backpedaling fabianski who reaches his long arms into the sky brings it into his chest and will clear it away that’s get something they see as a weakness with W down they getting quite a lot of joy down that run right hand s
But Salah is in the Box on his own you mentioned it he had that shot the header sorry that was like you know that’s not going anywhere is it he’s heading the ball from like 20 yards out it’s not really going to work almost so I think
They’re getting a lot of joy down the right hand side but I just want to see more from West Ham good interchange of play involving uh Emerson and pakar the two of them weave their way up the field but it breaks down with boen it’s picked up by Salah who turns elegantly and
Feeds the ball out towards the left a chance to get the ball into the box by Gunter here he took a little bit too long to do so delayed it and by the time he’d done that sofou had got across and blocked it yeah Su far recovered really
Really well there you know that’s one thing they’ve got in those areas the fullback but I think G needs to release that ball a little bit quicker and that’s maybe where fror can catch West Ham out on the counter you know we talk about West Ham being pedestrian and
Those types of things they look to try and release the ball forward but again it a little bit sloppy from so he played it too far in front of James W prow who was going to have to try and stretch to to meet it on the halfway line couldn’t
Get there it breaks down and goes straight back to a fryberg red shirt yeah I think both teams equally have turning over the ball in certain areas they don’t really look like there’s much structure going for when they do pick up the ball in those defensive areas and
They’re trying to they’re not trying to really break the lines the qualiity is breaking down both teams are being really patient it almost at times it almost looks like a preseason game because the tempo is so slow and they’re turning over the ball in areas you don’t
Expect but then Jared Bowen having to drop deep set it back to kudus as we just saw there and then where’s the next Outlet you know then it goes back to Kurt Zuma and then it goes forward and then it’s slow you know it needs to be
Better I think it needs to be quicker second test uh second day of the fifth test is available for you on talk Sport AS England take on India at tomorrow morning 3:30 a.m. live on talk sport 2 erer sends it out to the right side salai dve ding towards the edge of the
Box from the right angle of it he sort of scuffed at his shot which went dribbling through the 18 yd box and troubled no one and goes behind in away for a goal kick to West Ham United no one really has had a meaningful attempt on the other’s goal up until this point
And we played a good 27 minutes of it yeah Salah looked like he got caught in two minds then you can see Grio was coming in on that left hand side and you could see what he was trying to do was almost like Salah got caught in two
Minds whether he should cross it or shooting he just kind of P rolled across the the Box well fryberg do spread the goals around only five players in this year tournament have scored more times than Michael gregoric the Austrian who’s on the bench venzo Grio and Roland salai
All of whom have got four goals in the competition gregoric is friberg’s all-time top scorer in this Europa League with seven goals he’s available Off the Bench tonight here is Alvarez over halfway into pakar no coincidence I don’t think lean that since pakar has been back the performances have improved for West Ham
Yeah he’s a top player I mean with the ball at his feet and I think it’s unfortunate for teams like West Ham because it’s inevitable I think he will eventually leave and and it’s a shame because you look at Players like Declan rice you know give Declan his dues he
Stayed there for as long as he could and he’s moved on well onew on the edge of the box with soek almost came through does come through to to boen who tries to return it from Kudos it’s a little bit desperate from frybo to get it away
And West Ham just putting a little bit of pressure on here W prows on the right pakar takes over sofel makes an inside Channel run he gets to the by line the cross comes in the ball went out of play did it it was flicked by so Che just in
Case and eventually the assistant on this near side gives the goal kick fryberg Neil West Ham Neil yeah that was a difficult ball there for pakata to Su foul down the right hand side he sold it down the river a little bit there by the
Time he got there you know the ball over ran but I think you know again those are the areas that you want to see packar in in those attacking areas James War prows a lot of them for me they almost overwork and that sounds crazyd rather
Them do too much than what they did against Arsenal and kind of was out there completely pedestrian but I think a lot of them it’s good they’re interchangeable but I almost feel like a lot of them are doing too much sometimes you have to stop still receive the ball
And just play around in triangles they’re playing in triangles but they’re doing it you know in the defensive thirds in the defensive zones I think one the game said later on we might see a little bit of movement of position here with uh maybe kudus going out to
The Far Side the left Boeing coming out to the right and pakar wandering into the center and playing as the the force9 we’ll see what happens because I think he is more effective when he is playing in that position or in the center where he can feed boen who’s brilliant coming
Down the right hand side at the moment boen the point man half an hour gone fryberg Neil West Ham United nil West Ham decked head to toe in sort of dark royal blue tonight which is a little bit uh too Chelsea for some of their fans I
Think it goes back towards the 18 yd box and it’s collected by their young goalkeeper 21-year-old German Noah atabul who K Clips clear up through the center of the park Zuma returns it with interest down the left it’s back with the fryberg defense and Matias ginta
Sends it Forward he picks it up now on halfway former German international Scoops it into the path of Roland Salah he then helps it on and here’s aler and his effort is saved down the middle of the goal by fabianski it was a good opportunity either side of the
Goalkeeper would have given the Polish International a test but it went straight at him from the edge of the box and now at the other end they’ve given the ball away cheaply to cus and cus now running towards the right angle of the penalty area he waits to come in on his
Left foot then chips it to the far post Bo hits his effort into the ground and didn’t connect with it at all well and it Scoops Over the Bar and aways the right hand side of the post and out for a goal kick and fryberg get a bit of a
Let off yeah you’d expect Jared Bo in in a form that he’s in to do better there was a fantastic nice little clip from mahamed kudos to that far post and it was just almost like Jared Bowen took his eye off the ball but better from better from West Ham they’re lucky the
Hir there almost put it in the back of the net himself down one end you know fabianski by the time it got to him it was a bit of a PE roll but he didn’t really catch it that well but you can see fber are getting in behind they’re
Possessing the ball but Jared Bowen I’d expect him to do a little bit better in in that situation but better from West Ham well that bow chance is probably the best of the game so far I think he just would have been better off had it had
Fallen to his right foot rather than his left he sort of swiped at it a little bit and he hid it scuffed it into the ground it bubbled up over the top of the crossbar as it came over from cus but what a good move here on the right side
Cilia trying to get it into the box and it’s given away by Alvarez and danan has picked it back up again edge of the area so comes across and covers and the ball bounc into the midpoint of the West Ham United half hurler’s effort from the edge of
The box was uh a little bit tame here’s danan inside the area trying to cross it towards the the center of the penalty area but so comes across and headers the ball diving behind and puts it out for a corner that was a great Third Man run
From danan he gets into those areas by the time he decided to put it in the in the Box it was not really got cut out and intercepted in the end but that shows you the third player run and call West down a lot of problems I think se’s
Doing a really good job being in the right place you know the ball’s just hitting him they say if you’re in the right place it will hit you positionally so he’s doing a decent job here’s the corner Grio to take it dangerously towards the back post Salah can’t reach
It goes back in from egin and it’s way over the top of the crossb and it’s going to be out for a goal kick away to our left hand side so 33 minutes have been survived Rangers still lead by goal to nil in Lisbon tonight after half an
Hour but it’s nil nil between fryberg and West Ham United Liverpool Victorious earlier on uh Aston Villa Drew nil nil and roma absolutely tonked Brighton 4-n see this is an example Saab of where I think West Ham have to do better they’re possessing the ball but it’s so slow and they’re causing their own problems you know there’s times when James wara is dropping into the pockets and then he’s gone backwards and then
They’ve gone backwards and then Curt zans up Happ to play you know a really poor ball back to fabianski danan running forward through the middle gets the second bite at it cuz he skips past the challenge of mavra Panos the referee says continue it looked like a foul
Doan’s actually not complaining too much he picked up the ball it ran loose and actually do you know what I think he dived to be fair that’s an absolutely brilliant decision because I have my head in my hand Sam thinking that is a foul MAV Panos clipped him and then when
You see the replay absolutely brilliant referee he should be booked Goan almost it’s a dive for sure absolutely and the uh fryberg crowd certainly not uh too happy about the suggestion that it was a dive see that’s the problem though Sam with a lot of modern day footballers you
Know cuz I saw and I saw I thought it looked like a foul if you’re at the game you’re probably thinking it is a foul when it’s your team you always think it is but that looked like he got clipped but he completely sold it fantastic referee we’re often he’s too good at
Diving is that what you’re saying yeah but we’re often critical of these referees which I’m rightfully so but I think when they get it right you got to give them credit as well absolutely here on the left hand side Grio has got it again moving towards the edge of the
Area cutting on his right foot trying to shoot the ball doesn’t get any power behind it it’s nudged Away by MAV ranas bit of fryberg pressure here as they come down the right hand side 10 minutes before the break nil nil the score it’s picked up by danan and sent back into
The path of Hoffler Hoffler sends it wide to Doan once again and then it goes all the way back to Matias ginta and fryberg are able to clear from deep inside their own territory there’s a slip there Anon Alvarez wanted to capitalize on it the referee is blown
The whistle now the Mexicans suggesting that there was no foul uh hler certainly not convinced he thought he was clipped yeah that is I mean there’s not really much in it it took a while it seemed like it took an eternity for the referee to actually blow the whistle but
Again Alvarez coming out of that defensive role trying to put the pressure on the front to be fair you got to give West Ham a lot of credit for their work rate within this game I think all the players you know they they look organized but they’re just not you know
Keeping possession of the ball enough for me fryborg are having most of the possession is very pedestal both teams you’re right Sam like you said earlier look like they’ve come here with a certain game plan in mind that they’re going to you know they’re not really putting a lot of purposeful passes
Together they’re okay to have the ball but they’re not penetrating through the middle they’re not really you know moving in the final third with any type of conviction or speed of play no I think uh both teams will be happy if it ends up going back all square to the London Stadium because
Fryberg will believe that they can get something on the Counterattack and West Ham will believe that they can with the onus and the support behind them take advantage of being at home next week that game will be live on talk sport 545 next Thursday afternoon ball swept up by
MAV paros into the right fullback position he hammers it up towards the halfway line boen was going to try and ride that but goulda was there to head it clear the ball bounces in Midfield and it’s picked up by eerin all action moving forward from right to left
Towards the left side and he feeds the ball into gun gun’s cross is big heavy way over the top of everybody inside the area and it goes out of play and away for a throw in the left for back position it remains goalless yeah as
Gter looks up into the sky he knows he over hit the ball wasn’t the greatest of balls into those areas and you touched on it earlier s with regards to the both these teams being okay with it being a draw I I never understand that because I
Think these games for West Ham a winable for sure it’s not a fullone conclusion that when they go back to the London Stadium it’s going to be oh you know West look at Roma tonight versus Brighton you know these T these teams can beat these teams so for me if I’m a
West H fan I’m thinking you know let’s go in for this one let’s at least try to win the game it’s winable they’re on a decent run of late back toback winds brenford and Everton so you know individually they got good put enough players danan has it on the right of the
West Ham penalty area feeds it into Grio ball around the corner almost reaches edstein there’s a little bit of a scramble and Zuma has to hook it away from the on-rushing salai and it goes out of play and away for another corner to fryberg nil nil the score the fryberg
Fans with a ripple of Applause and a smile on their face as they know every time the ball goes up for a corner or a free kick they’ve got Grio yeah I mean it’s an opportunity and again you know Zuma like sixes and sevens I mean it
Just takes one opportunity for them to put it in the back of the net it’s going to be Gunter actually who sends this one in left footed it’s headed into the air and it’s a poor delivery and the concession of a goal kick what a waste
It just it just blows my mind I touched upon James bprous earlier how fantastic his delivery is but I just can’t understand how a professional footballer he’s just hit it to the end of the 18 yard box from a corner Sam like I just blows my mind it literally hit the edge
Of the 18 Yard Box you’re talking 12 yards oh dear go in was giv the ball straight to danan after the goal kick but they won it back because danan slipped that was fortunate for West Ham 7 minutes before we get to uh halime and it’s nil nil between fryberg and West
Ham ball is had a play over on the far side left of the fryberg half right by the touch line pakar picks it up runs through the center circle needs a bit of help a little back heel he’s getting tracked and pushed and pulled by Salah maybe in
A position which you would deem too deep Kus gets the chance to run at gun now down the right side almost Bamboozled himself then couldn’t come infield ran into edstein and then he manages to clear could have SNS it back again fryberg can’t get it out of their own
Half at this moment in time the thing with this formation from West Ham as well I love it when players are interchangeable I love that as a player when a coach gives you license to do that but I just think it’s unnecessary for players like you want to
See pakat up higher up the field of play you don’t want to see Su higher than him nine times out of 10 and I’m seeing that in this game I understand as a player like Pak wants to be on the ball all the time but sometimes let Su do that let
Alvarez do that you get higher up the field to play with Bowen and James war prous first y car of the game is going to go to Kilian selia and I think that was probably a tossing up process really because you remember early in the game you said that
He should have been booked for a pulling back and a promising attack being broken down that one on Edson Alvarez has warranted a yellow card and it is a free kick to West Ham United yeah I think so is accumulation of probably Reckless challenges but I think Alvarez did make
The most of that one I don’t think players need to really roll six or seven times when they get clipped and that’s what he did how many times did you used to roll never used to roll Sam never used to roll no I had this ability to be
Able to my teammates used to say to me why’ you always hold your head when you go down and get kicked in the ankle it was a weird weird habit it was almost like I’d go into like you know almost like a cocoon every time I went down but
Yeah I don’t like all that type of stuff you know and I think in the women’s game I’m not just saying this but you know get kicked get straight back up genuinely nine times out of 10 patar in Midfield gives the ball away one by uh fin Grio the
Italian fber have possession deep inside their own territory we’ve got 5 minutes before the break on talk sport tonight and we’ve had G Galore in the other games apart from the Villa game but in the uh games involving Brighton and the game involving Liverpool earlier on today we haven’t had any
Yet in fryberg Alvarez good touch into W prow nice turn by Boeing weaves away from H hler plays it out towards the right side picks up kudus Kus now travels infield goes a little bit narrow probably needed to go further wide boen made a dart down in towards the right
Channel produces a cross a little bit heavy over the head of James W prows and it’ll float out on the far side and the way for a throw but good quicker West Ham United move and the increase in Tempo lean actually allowed them to get faster up into the penalty area and
Manipulate a few more spaces yeah fair play to Jared bow and he started that playoff on the halfway line and ends up playing a one-w and gets on the end of it wasn’t the greatest of balls into the box in that situation he probably could have done a bit better patar told him
That as well but I think there’s a lot of responsibility for these individual players because J boen is his best position really playing as a withdraw number nine I don’t think so I don’t think that’s his best position pakar you know underneath him potentially is helping him out but the distances
Between the players you’re asking a lot you know Jared bones almost played a onew and at to 40 yard dashit to be able to get on the end of that ball other players need to also share that responsibility because you’re asking a lot of Jared boen fur West Ham nil here is Edson
Alvarez just right to the center circle strolling over the halfway line gives it to boen gets it back again out towards the right side and sua looked up tried to see where he could chip the ball into but Boeing because he dropped deep and vacated the space and there was a big
Hole right in the center of the West Ham attack so he checked back and went to halfway where Edson Alvarez has it I wish I could clip that sound cuz that’s exactly what I’m talking about James wpra is making that run and for some reason Su just didn’t fancy himself on
The diagonal at all and it was on it was definitely on 100% you know nice little Back Spin on the ball just put it in behind them and you know last minute just goes go sideways and then changes the attack Completely 43 gone hler will take the free kick lots of red and white in the fryberg end away to our right hand side visibly supporting their team tonight they know that uh this is not a a side that uh enjoy regular European competition they did get to the last 16
Last year it’s the first time they’ve ever played back-to-back European campaigns they lost here to West Ham in their group stage but they did win all of their three other home games in this season’s competition scoring 13 goals in victories over Serbian side TSA olymp Aros and laws in the playoff they came
From two goals down in that game to defeat them 3-2 in exra time and secure their progress from The Knockout round Playoffs here’s pakatan over halfway forward into Jared Bo across comes egusin egin winning the ball back for uh fryberg and then Emerson gets in a tangle hura brings it forward out to danan far side across goes head in Alvarez danan goes on the run down the Right Touch line he tries to motor
Towards the edge of the penalty area Al varez is backed up by James Ward brow and then it goes back to cilia who feeds the ball into egenin egenin on the edge of the area out wide it goes into danan do with a chance to cross left footed He
ARS it deep towards the far post and he’s looking for Grio who’s just peeled off the defender he’s tried to win it back finds Gunter back into Grier again edge of the area on the left now with a tightly packed West Ham team trying to funnel back and plug all the gaps but
It’s picked up by hler out to the wide left Gunter with the cross into the center brought it away by soek and then cus brings it down and then soou with the ball out towards this near side and it’s out for a West Ham United throw and
The pressure is alleviated yeah I mean probably the best pattern of play that fror have done in this first half but then again they go sideways they’re not going through the middle but in the end gun plays a really poor ball in but again good possession of the ball just
Need to pick their moments well that tells you a lot about the first half there’s not a single second of additional time that has been allocated by our Spanish referee so far west Sam trip to the Black Forest has come with very few pitfalls but there haven’t been
Too many benefits either this is a result they would take but I think they crave a little bit more the West Ham United supporters that have made the journey halim at the stadion and vinkle it’s fryberg Neil West Ham nil uh Sam thank you very much lean Sanderson
Alongside him what have you made of that first half in terms of the approach from West Ham United it feels like they’ve felt their way into the game without really getting going yeah I think you know both teams are turning over the ball pretty like a lot to be honest and
I think I can understand where the West Ham fans are coming from at some sometimes with a frustration because the individual players that they’ve got for me though Hugh they’re working their socks off in areas they don’t need to I think pakata is dropping too deep Su
Needs to be in that area and Alvarez need to be in those areas and James War prow is working so hard but again not really being able to affect in the final third because they’re having to work so hard on the other side of the ball I completely get that because of obviously
Before the brenford and the Everton game they were leaking goals for fun so you want to see the work rate from the players absolutely but I think you’re asking a lot of Jared Bowen I said it just then he’s almost playing a onew and
Having to make a 40 yard dash to get on the end of his own ball you know Pet’s dropping deep but I think fror had that one opportunity with the header but other than that haven’t really caused many problems have had most of the possession but I think with this West
Ham team I don’t know why they don’t don’t try and win the game you know yes it’s only Hal time but I just think with the individual quality of the players they have in this team you know kudus W prow paken they they should be doing
Better I think when they’re in the final third but again they look like they’re running out of legs because they having to work so hard on the other side of the ball and I think Alvarez and suek need to get you know those players out of those areas because they become
Redundant if they’re all in the same area Hugh not many chances in the game as well for either side why do you think that was because I think both teams are being so patient and pedestrian with the ball then they’re not really penetrated picking moments of when they can go
Forward you know you’re seeing it self you they’re they’re not really breaking between the lines Doan’s had a couple of opportunities they on the right hand side but the quality just isn’t there when they’re putting the balls into the box I thought the one chance when Kudo
Put it into Jared boen boen you’d have to you’d expect more from him in that situation he’s been good of late I love boow I think he’s a top player but I’d expect him to put that even though it’s on his weaker foot in the back of the
Net but other than that I don’t think either team has really caused many problems I’ve said at times it almost looks like a training game you know neither team really want to take that risk and I hope in the second half we’ll start to see West Ham maybe you know
Possessing the ball in the final third a little bit more putting balls into the box because other than that opportunity with Jared B I can’t remember the the times where West Ham are actually putting the balls into the box you lean I’ll be back with you very very soon
Because Rangers had the lead at Benfica but a penalty has just been awarded very harshly for me talk sports David Tanner yes we’re right on 45 minutes it’s been fill Rangers won but it is a penalty kick a VAR decision and the German referee is pointing to the the
Spot it was a corner kick the eighth corner kick of the first half for the Portuguese John Sut of Rangers headed the ball down he had his arm up and he headed the ball onto his own arm I think he makes himself bigger so in today’s
Rules it is a penalty kick and it will be taken by the former Manchester United World Cup winner anhel de Maria he’s stepping up at the moment he’s been involved in nine goals in the Europa League at home home so far there’s a pause in play as Jack butland
Is being booked by the referee for gamesmanship and Hill de Maria who spent much of the game involved in that kind of thing himself will now get the chance to bring Benfica level in the estadio delus in a torrential rain de Maria chips and scores so it’s Benfica won Rangers W
After 2 minutes of five five added on in first half stoppage time 1-1 Rangers though putting in the kind of show that is uh familiar for them so far in European competition battling throughout the evening and deservedly in the lead but Benfica have come right back into it
And maybe they will push on after di marus equalizer David Tanner thank you very much uh I’ll update you on the rest of Europe very shortly but let’s go to the Conte cup semi-final Chelsea started very well against Manchester City’s women have they pushed on Jeff Peters
Well it is still Manchester City nil Chelsea won that early goal from Lauren James inside 8 minutes but in this second half Manchester City have been so much better they’ve come really close to an equalizer Lauren hemp uh from close range what a say from Hannah Hampton
She’s having a great second half in the Chelsea goal it was an outstanding stop from hemp after Jess Parker had played in the cross from the right hand side bunny Shaw’s had a couple of efforts Hampton has kept both of those out as well just can’t find that killer touch in
Front of goal Hampton’s having a fantastic evening and Lauren James’s goal at the moment is looking like Chelsea are going to face Arsenal in the cony Cup Final still got 15 minutes of normal time remaining it’s Manchester City nil Chelsea W Jeff thank you very
Much so let me bring you up to date with the halftime scores in the Europa League this evening AC Milan lead slavia Prague by three goals to one the former Arsenal and Chelsea frontman Olivier jaru with the open that’s after El de was sent off a different El Haj de same

Odds update on talk Sport with lad Brooks we play together terms and conditions apply 18 plus be gam.org well with 20 seconds of time added on out in Portugal there’s been another goal David Tanner incredibly it’s Benfica one Rangers two dujon Sterling has scored it was a free
Kick from wide left the Ukraine International goalkeeper dropped the ball he parried it it came back out and it was a terrific cross from the right from the left I you pardon by the Portuguese player the former Benfica player in Rangers ranks uh who smashed the ball into the path of dujon Sterling
At the back post and he side footed it in into the back of the net but Silva was the man who got the ball into the sixy box and Sterling was there unmarked at the back post so Rangers uh were level for much of the first half then
There was that stoppage time equalizer from manhill de Maria from the penalty spot and suddenly Rangers find themselves in front with 6 minutes of first half stoppage time this goal is being checked it’s being checked David because sirel des’s was definitely in the ey line of the goalkeeper when the
Cross came in and I’m not sure if he interferes with the goalkeeper but the ball because the ball doesn’t go to him he he certainly doesn’t touch it it goes beyond him and to the back post but you have the feeling it’s one of those nights in European competition that
Rangers will have to have everything go their way the goal’s been checked and I think it has been given yes okay David Tanner thank you very much Rangers leading two goals to one at Benfica another one of those special away performances for Rangers in Europe not yet a special performance for David

Subscribe now so you don’t miss a thing so at halftime as I say goess between fryberg and West Ham United the home side actually had 62% possession in that first half had eight shots but only one on Target West Ham just three shots in that opening half One On Target as well
No real clearcut chances maybe mamed CIS and Jared bow could have done better with little half chances in that half but um they will have to improve if they’re going to win the match this evening let’s quickly look ahead with lean Sanderson how do you think David
Moyes would have addressed his side at halim yeah I mean I I think both teams have come for a draw if I’m being honest we said it during the commentary but I think individually West down I think they need to get higher up the field to
Play I think they’re sitting too deep I think the change the players have been interchangeable which is great but I want to see pakar job and Ward prows been able to kind of use their energy in those final third areas with Alvarez and Su kind of sitting a little bit more you
Know I think there’s too much responsibility and the players are kind of running around at time at times and you know wasted unnecessary energy yeah you want the players to work hard but unnecessarily I think you want that so I think West Ham could win this game
Pretty comfortably I’m not sure why they wouldn’t go out there to try and win the game maybe that’s where the frustration with the West Ham fans is going it doesn’t look like that right now and remember of course West Ham United did play fryberg in the group stage won both
Of those games and we’re probably favorites to do the same again tonight 45 minutes and a little bit of improvement and I reckon they could get themselves over the line let’s get into the action then the second half just about to get underway in the company of the former lioness lean Sanderson and
Talk sports Sam mat face yes s fryberg a small but Splendid looking City close to the Swiss and French borders very much uh liked by Leanne because it produces a fine German wine it is the wine growing region actually of uh Germany is fryberg vineard stigla sheding Blanc Tren is H
One of your favorites isn’t it oh I wonder why you ask me that at half time I thought you were going to bring me a glass but clearly it’s for you to mention it on your commentary uh yeah and the West Ham fans who uh number
2,230 uh certainly have sampled a few of the local glasses I think during the course of the day and no changes at halim for either of these two teams yellow car but still dilia in the first half the only disciplinary action that has been taken so it is aabu in goal
Selia right back ginta Gua and G across the back four hler is the holding Midfield player with Doan EG H H era and Grio behind salai in attack West Ham with their usual formation I’ll run through the 11 in just a second but they’re in blue shirts blue shorts and
Blue socks and they’re on the attack attacking the ball the goal away to our left hand side and fryberg defending with red and white shirts red shorts and socks cudas jinking his way into the area left foot it drives it towards the near post it was good feat by him and a
First row tester for the goalkeeper anabu yeah I love that for Mohammad k does so well drops left drops the shoulder touch inside really underwhelming strike in the end but that’s exactly what you want to see from mham kudas getting into those areas comfortable safe from The Keeper but I
Like the drop of the shoulder to create the opportunity yeah Bowen had a decent effort in the first half but he didn’t quite catch after Kus did some good work and then cis’s effort there probably the the two best chances that West Ham have had fryberg come up the other end down
The right with a blond hair Doan the Japanese International centralizes the ball hler will float it to the right side and with braids sedilia moves up towards the edge of the area gets the return pass from danan and he should have let that go across his body and
Then he sends the ball into the center the flying kick from salai it’s blocked by soek and it pops the other side it was a great effort actually and sadila did well to dig the cross out left footed into the box and salai did a flying volley going backwards I’m not
Sure what it would have been on target but so made sure that it didn’t reach that far yeah you can see salite set up for him to do that over red kick really well it looked like fabianski potentially would have had it covered but again you know West down create an
Opportunity down one end fredberg both teams seem quite open when they’re on the attack just a little bit more quality I think is needed when they’re in certain areas and a WhatsApp from someone who says the 2018 great it’s very good I’d have to check that one
Out Iber United nil I’m a bit more of a spat Bund for myself I don’t know what that is but carry on nice German red Wine Alejandra Hernandez Hernandez just calming things down after a bit of a spat in the middle of the park and uh it’s a free kick to uh fryberg on this right hand side across comes Grio to try and call awesome Grio a bit of Collision off the ball
Involving pakar and salai referee quick to award the free kick as they attack the goal away to our right hand side it’s quite dangerous position in this situation we know Grio is really good at set pieces but a Bard between a penalty spot and the 18 yard BS could be really
Dangerous good to just giving Grio some instructions he’ll hit this right footed AR it in behind the defensive line which is about five yards Inside the Box West Ham defending here the ball deep towards the far post Salah trying to get there was muscled out a bit by sofou referee
Said nothing doing the ball goes out of play and away for a goal kick it was a brilliant Bo to the box to be fair Salah we saw him in the first half oh and he’s been booked for screaming in the face of Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez Roland
Salai I think he would have been offside anyway yeah but you know he’s a strong guy I don’t think he needs to go down in that situation sual doesn’t really do anything at all and I think obviously the referee I don’t know why he’s so animated and he’s not going to get a
Penalty for that Sam but I think he thinks that so far headed out and it was going away for the corner but what he hasn’t realized is is that the offside flag’s gone up and there’s going to be a free kick to West Ham United balls run
Out of play on this near side and Friberg trying to keep it in they might have successfully done that with hura on this right side he drops on the edge of the bo hler sends it forward toward the edge of the D it’s dropping once again
And allowed to bounce far too much Grio gets a little bit of extra pressure from sofou it runs to The Far Side sofou puts it out it’s a throw in to fryberg nil nil the score I mean the quality of that type of passing there for both teams
Like a pinball machine the ball was in the air you know five six passes the quality just it’s not it’s not been a great quality game Sam if I’m being honest but I think someone needs to take the ball settle it down create the opportunity we saw Kudos got in there in
The first minute of this second half easier said than done but that’s the area you want to see those types of players in West Ham have challenged themselves to return to European competition for a fourth year that can only be guaranteed they get a top seven finish or victory in this
Competition they won the Europa conference League last ter their first major trophy since 1980 they’re just two points off the top six in the Premier League Moyes has had his hand been strengthened by recent returns of back guar in particular and kudus from International Duty I you think there any coincidence
That their performances have improved here’s cus who certainly does that too accelerates down the right side bone with a cross into the box patar is unmarked and he was just put under enough pressure from danan that the ball was scooted off his toe and it goes behind for a corner kick best
Opportunity for West Ham in the second half lovely cross from the right from boing where he usually does so much damage and danan absolutely superb defending to get back can stop pakar just as he was about to pull the trigger on the edge of the 6-y Box nil nil
Corner yeah that was great defending from Doan you could see pakar was about to put it in the back of the net lovely stand up ball from jro bone to the far post great defending from danan well fryberg have struggled defensively recently but a lot of that is down to
Injuries they’ve leaked 20 goals in their last nine games West Ham haven’t pierced them yet here is the right footed corner by wall prow deep to the far post he’s headed down he hits the foot of the post mados what a a chance brilliant deep
Delivery to the far edge of the 6-y box mavropanos came in behind the goalkeeper and hit the foot of the post when I first saw it I was thinking I need to see this one again because it looks like he probably should have done better in
That situation but I’m not going to make excuses for him but the ball was quite close to him by the time it landed he was about two you know a yard or two away from the post so it wasn’t as easy as it looked in that situation s but
Again fantastic delivery from James wpra so when you have those types of players in your team it’s a joy as a center forward when you know the ball is going to come into those danger areas you know it’s a real good position to be in for
West H when they’ve got a player like James W prow and the way that he the ability that he has on the ball W prow again trying to get in front of eerin he plays the ball up to the edge of the box and it’s played in by Kus who lost it
Won it back again he’s got it back again after fighting for it inside the area right for his shot block by edstein comes back to sofou he cracks it across the floor but it’s worldwide of the right hand upright and dribbles behind and away for a goal kick 8 minutes G in
The second half and West Ham have certainly shown more attacking teeth in the opening 8 minutes and they probably did in the first 45 yeah they have and again sou farl on the edge of the box there probably should do better just snatches at it but again I said it in
The first half sound we’re seeing these players now getting to that final third area that’s exactly where you want to see kudus he’s had a couple of really good runs in the second half really causing a problem to that back line 53 gone talk sport live in the Europa League tonight Rangers in
Front in Lisbon they went one- n up got pegged back then scored again in the last few minutes of added time at the end of the first half in the stadium of light the estadio deuch as it’s called in Lisbon tonight and victories for uh Roma and Liverpool earlier in the games
Involving English clubs F Drew nil nil here on the right hand side as a Paul delivery into the box by right back Killian selia and a bit of a waste of a fryberg attack and it remains goalless yeah that’s a poor ball from selia in that situation he
Knows it is himself he doesn’t need me to tell him but on that right hand side you know a good delivery into the box could cause a lot of problems but I think it’s definitely been better in the first 10 minutes of the second half from West Ham getting into good positions
Getting into good areas it’ll be interesting to see you know David Moes maybe might start to make a couple of changes bringing players Off the Bench maybe Calvin Phillips being that pivot player that could come off the bench you know to make some passes that could maybe you know penetrate them going
Forward cuz right now it’s been better from West Ham but we’ve not see Jared B really touch the ball and it’s difficult when you’re up front on your own in those situations I’ve done it myself Sam it’s so hard because you’re feeding off scraps at times you know you have to
Chase everything down it’s a really selfless role we’ve saw Mikel Antonio do it for so many years for West Ham and after the games remember in his postgame interviews he could barely catch his breath because he was absolutely shattered yeah well uh he’s on on the bench tonight available for West Ham
United you mentioned Philips Johnson Creswell in h boner all available for selection Off the Bench if required by David Moyes here is do switching the play towards the leftand side as fryberg come on the attack Grier with an effort from well outside of the usual shooting range
And he goes beyond the goal and away for a goal kick away to our right at full time in the cont cup City against Chelsea the winners are going to take on Arsenal so who is it that provides the Gunner’s opposition in the final Jeff Peters well it will be Chelsea who face
Arsenal in the final at molu later this month they beat Man City with an early strike from Lauren James her 15th goal for club and Country this season Hannah Hampton made some crucial second half saves as City pushed for that equalizer it didn’t come it was one out standing
Close range stop to deny Lauren ham fulltime Man City nil Chelsea one LJ On Target and Manchester City parts of our commentary this weekend big game on Sunday for you to follow yeah I’ll be doing that game a late in orian Tottenham quarterfinal you know it’ll be really good against Manchester City
It’ll be interesting to see this season you know Mah is a lot of talk up has been about her becoming the manager of the US wom’s national team you know she lost in the league to City a couple of weeks ago but now they they’ve beaten them tonight and they’re into another
Final yep and uh what you going to do with your M Mother’s Day now cuz you forgot that it was Mother day didn’t you no I didn’t forget it was Mother’s Day I forgot that I was working oh yeah thanks for throwing me under the bus there Sam
I haven’t told her yet but she’ll come to the game with me I thought we were friends get just just you know just get us some flowers from the the petrol station on the way back from the game you’ll be fine no uh you see should should have organized it earlier old
Mother’s Day you got to got to be prepared you know taking my mom to dancing on ice do you do that Dr do you do dancing on ice 57 goal fryberg nil West Ham United nil and uh West Ham United had a couple of good chances at the start of the second half
But nothing more than that to show for their trip to Germany so far although I think if it was to remain like this they’d be satisfied not pleased satisfied I think this is soek nudges the ball to the right as West Ham regain possession once again I think they’ll
Only be satisfied because I think if you if they did put their foot to the the floor a little bit fryberg are there for the taking aren’t they I think that’s where the frustration comes from with the West Ham fans and a few of them were
Tweeting me during the game you know and I looked at at my half time and I’m like I get where they’re coming from to a certain degree you know I don’t think it’s all David moyes’s fault I think you know sometimes as a play you have to take responsibility could be in trouble
Here yellow card coming out for him for diving in on a tackle on do and on the near side it was a bit unnecessary really cuz the ball was you know near the halfway line right side to the touch line he’s gone steaming in on uh danan
And he’s gone well he’s landed his left foot has landed on top of Doan’s foot so it’s a late challenge it’s a yellow card yeah completely unnecessary really I’m all for players you know trying to get stuck in we saw one previously about 10 minutes ago when he did the same thing
He gave away that free kick on the right hand side and you know Grio put it into the box maybe there’s a little bit of frustration you know creeping in because we can see pakar you know he footb in ability is on a different level and I
Think West Ham fans can see that he brings that flare that he has within this team but he will get frustrated because I don’t think the players can match his ability that are around him David Moyes is asking for clarification from the fourth official as play continues and fryberg
Look to try and eek their way up the pitch away to our right the ball is picked up by Grio who cracks it from 30 yds out I mean it would have to be some effort it wasn’t it went about 20 yds Over the Bar and into the fryberg fans
Away to our right hand side I mean I’m not trying to be overly harsh but I think as a professional footballer you know how you strike the ball the position of your foot those types of things make a difference and Grio has just completely you know pummeled the
Ball Sam about 40 yards over you know other opport mistakes will happen I get that but I never understand cuz you know as a footballer the techniques you use that there’s only one way that ball is going and that’s way over you can see it we’re hitting the hour mark and we’re
Awaiting our first goal we got two balls on the pitch of this moment in time so we’ll have an uncontested drop ball but it will go back to the team in possession do like an uncontested drop ball now don’t we there certainly controversy surrounding It Anyway ball
Played out towards the right side for fryberg and uh zilia actually has found a beautiful ball down the right for OA and uh hura has tried to send it in towards the near post blocked by Kurt Zuma and it goes behind in the away for a corner and hur’s effort was actually enhanced
By that ball down the right side by selia showing his quality yeah that was a great ball from cilia down that right hand side nice intricate ball in behind you can see Kurt zum had to come across almost got dragged out position and deals with it pretty comfortably in the
End nil nil Corner Grio to take it right footed ARS it towards the near post it’s headed Away by soek comes out to cilia he sent it a little bit too far out to the right for Gunter who’s managed to keep hold of it and play a onew with
Grio they’ll lose it on the edge of the Box though and pakar will find boen who clip it Forward Kus goes on the charge trying to run after it and he’s putting pressure on soila here he does well enough to hold off the gar and guide it back into
Goulda and it’s back with atabul way to our left hand side that was a perfect example Sam in that situation where pakata is all the way back there having to set the ball if I’m Alvarez or suek I’m like get out of this area you do not want you know your
Attacking players in those areas because they don’t need to be there that’s where they have to be more commanded in those areas get him out of there get him higher up the field of play to be able to affect the opposition’s goal G helps it into the path of
Egin uh it’s picked up by patar who tries to release Jared boen on the halfway line now turns and up faces up the fryberg defense he’s got kudus to his right he scampers forward now on the edge of the penalty area a ball to the back post petar’s header is over the bar
It was just a little bit too high for him it was going to be difficult for him to try and keep it down and he couldn’t do so but it was a racing West Ham United attack they went down that right side fed by Bo cus went scampering to
The edge of the Box the left footed ball into the edge of the 6-y area aimed at patar was a good one but it had the height to get over sybila and because it did get over selia it also was just a little bit difficult to control for
Pakistan yeah I think you’re being overly nice to him there Sam I’d expect him to do a bit better there I think with kudus as well that ball was similar to the one he put to Bowen in the first half lovely little flip ball into that area I get what you’re saying completely
But I think a player of his quality I almost feel like he jumps too high you know too soon sorry before the balls come the ball by the time it got to him it almost hit him at waist he it could have where he could have potentially
Have controlled you can see kind of the Grimace on David moyes’s face because I think it wasn’t an easy chance but I think he should do better in that situation do you think he was slightly blindsided by the fact that Silla was standing in front of him and it just
Came over Silla at the last moment yeah it wasn’t an easy chance at all I completely get that and maybe you’ve got a point there I just think a player of his quality you just expect him to do a little bit better in that area but fantastic ball from kudus again he’s got
That you know that clip ball that over by passes the back line it’s brilliant and I think like it’s something that’s really underrated because he makes it look easy but not many players now you see a lot of the balls getting cut out when players are not over hitting the
Pass whereas that’s a gift you know the same with Jer Bowen in the first half I think the Bowen chance was easier than that one nil nil fryberg and West Ham United toiling a little bit tonight a few chances but uh not the most fluent performance of the season for David
Moyes’s team but I think David Moyes will be satisfied with the defensive shape of the team that has ConEd a lot of goals this season danan going down the right trying to cut in field releases the ball into the center Grio who’s come off that touch line hura back
Out to the right from eishin and then into the NS the near post and it’s headed into the air by W prow and then further clear but selia has got it back again only before patar can rob him and then stride forward with purpose release
Cus it just went across his body but he keeps hold of the ball well now Bo joins the attack he’s on the right side for West Ham United gets up to the perimeter of the penalty here Cuts in left buy and curls the ball towards the far post and
It’s narrowly wide I wonder whether or not the goalkeeper atubu managed to get something on that because that was a typical attempted finish by Jared Bowen and atab Buu just got his fingertips to it I think yeah that was a great save mat absolutely brilliant fingertips job
Bone probably thought he had scored he cuts inside does really well job by that’s a fantastic save cuz that was going in all day long it was a really good save we seen it on the monitors now that was a terrific stop by the German goalkeeper
And you could see by the way he celebrated it just how important he felt it was Jared Bowen getting into that right wing position he’s just moved out there in the second half I thought that might happen at some point Le yeah you did say that didn’t you in the first
Half cut in on that left foot and caused a bit of an issue ball delivered to the back post it’s over mos’ head this time and there was a collision in the Box the referee wasn’t happy with anyone it’s going to be a goal kick away to our left
65 gone 0 0 yeah it’s an interesting one because we know the delivery of James BPR has I don’t actually think that’s a foul if I’m being honest MAV Panos he goes down you know he just compete for the ball but I think West H players need
To anticipate you know someone needs to go on the the back post when he is putting those balls into those areas B cleared up over the halfway line by fryberg salai putting pressure on Kurt Zuma West Ham season doesn’t depend on this competition but it does provide
Solitude from the intense glare of the Premier League 12 Premier League wins this season is the same as Newcastle United nine defeats is fewer than Manchester United and they’ve only scored once more goals at this stage of that competition but they have a problem here and Emerson is down in the left fullback
Position and needs attention you had to throw that in there about Manchester United just had to didn’t you in good mood I I appreciate you Sam not um I think you know it’s interesting with West Ham because for a team to go almost two months Sam without winning a game
That’s where I think the frustration comes from and then to still be at that point they’re in E position in the Premier League is kind of unheard of to go on that losing run like they did and to still be high up the up the table is
Quite maybe it’s a it’s flattering to them at this moment in time because I know the fans are frustrated and I kind of get their frustration because it’s nights like tonight where you think about the individual players and they if you look at the team Sheet you know all
Day long look at that four players I mentioned in the first half pudus you know Bowen w Crow top quality players but right now it just looks like they’re a little bit flat second half I think it’s been better for West Ham Emerson’s going to have to come off here which is
Not great news for David boyes he’s been quietly very good this year has Emerson in that left ball back position uh tomorrow morning Ray paror is alongside Alan Brazil on the Superstar breakfast from 6:00 usual service for your Friday morning and warm up to the weekend we’ve got sheffel
Wednesday against leads tomorrow night on on uh talk sport 2 10 to go in the efl and it is heating up at the top of the championship talk sport the place to be for that competition’s culmination and we’ll have all of it including the final day and the playoffs
Right at the end only live on talk sport Creswell is on in Emerson stead that is a concern I think yeah it is I think we all know the delivery as well that Aaron creso has minimal minutes this year maybe due to the fact that he’s you know 34 years old
And but I like him Creswell I think he’s got a fantastic delivery but Emerson I think you’re right Sam what you said he’s been brilliant this year for West Ham Bowen tried to squeeze through a very tight Gap didn’t get the free kick eventually the referee after waiting for
The advantage to materialize calls it back gives a free kick against G and it is going to be a West Ham free kick some yards out dead centerin and gun coming in from either side well done Jared boen I mean at times he’s completely isolated receiving
The ball on the run and there’s three players around him and he’s drawing a foul and it’s an absolutely he’s done well I think cuz I said it he’s isolated a lot on his own and when you got players like Bowen and kudus that are so comfortable running out players patar
They cause so many problems and it’s interesting because this is a decent position for James wpr to have a guy might be just a little bit too far out but he is so good at getting his ball up and over I mean it makes it look easy
Not scored a direct free kick in the Premier League for West Ham United did score four direct free kicks in all competitions last season and uh he’s placed the ball down with purpose pakar is there as well 69 minutes gone it’s w prous who steps up right footed aims it towards the far
Corner it was always going to be difficult for him to get the requisite power from there and it was well wide of the left hand upright it’s interesting because he completely changed his technique there Sam it was you know we know he’s going to get in up and over
But he went with the like knuckle ball you know was like Cristiano Ronaldo used to do and it was an interesting you know choice of technique because I been practicing that after training Le yeah maybe I mean we know he’s so good at set pieces and free kicks but I think in
That situation there I think it’s a waste in the end because if you’re going to do that you might as well play it you know do something intricate to create a situation in front of goal going to be a couple of substitutions for fryberg in the next few minutes Michael gregorich
Is coming on and so is uh Vice Hort as they look to just change things up hurler coming off and the other change I think is going to be Grio I think yeah it’s Grio just a bit of a surprise I wonder if he’s struggling just a little bit or they’re protecting
Him for their next game away at BAM at the weekend yeah gregorich is a very good goal scorer you know so they’d have to look out for it but is a weird one they’ve taken off Grio because but they haven’t really offered much Sam going forward let’s be honest so you know I’d
Still keep Grio on because we know how dangerous he can be from set pieces West Ham got Burnley at the weekend at home in fact they benefit from the fact that although they’ve traveled tonight to Germany they’ve got three big home games to play over the next couple of weeks before the international
Break Burnley fryberg and then ason Villa here is Bo scooping down the left hand side chopping in on his left foot he’s stopped by Vice and it’s cleared Away upfield by the Germans towards the halfway line back it comes through so foul onto Boeing again right edge of the area trying to steer
Across into the center blocked by hler and then it’s released into gregorich who leads the ball up towards the edge of the center circle didn’t really know what to do with it because he had no options in front of him had to wait found danan danan then Cuts in from the
Right side runs into a congested area of the field picked up by Zuma referee says play on the spot the but Doan went down and West Ham has scope over halfway 19 to go pakar looking to feed the ball into an area for Kus to run on to but he
Just didn’t quite get it right and it flew into the arms of goalkeeper Noah atub bolu no I love that recovery run from James War prow to kind of get across thr in that situation it was brilliant on the other side of the ball and then you can see it’s the first time
We’ve seen West Ham tried to turn this FBG team you know sometimes you have to mix it up a little bit and I think equally both number nines are playing the positions are isolated every time they get the ball you know there’s not many options for them because they have
To wait for their teammates to catch up to them danan getting across Alvarez and in it goes towards hler and fryberg now trying to build down the left with Vice hop infield Midway inside the West Ham half lifted towards the back edge of the penalty area and Gregor
Gets up there and heads It Gos and it’s safely clasped from the edge of the six-yard Box good long deep Cross by hler and the header was firm but straight out for be fabianski yeah I think the ball from H in the end didn’t have much Pace on it so gregoric had to
Kind of make the power come from it and by the by the time the ball got there there wasn’t much power on the header at all cuz the ball wasn’t quick enough but good positioning peeled off you know the defender on the back post and it’s a
Good ball in but couldn’t quite get you know enough power behind the header 17 to go on talk sport tonight a noisy tight Arena the stadion and force spinkle Bowen has gone down 5 yards outside the D and he thinks he should have had a foul there and lean I think
Agrees with him the balls run loose and fryberg have got it back to the goalkeeper should it have been a foul on him I think I thought it was a free kick I mean but in the first half we saw do danan go down didn’t we like quite
Easily but I don’t think that I think we’ll have to see this one again but I can’t believe that’s not a foul I mean Bowen turns the player runs through to me gets brought down de David Moyes is not happy about it he believes that there should have been a foul there as
Well referee wasn’t forthcoming with the the free kick and it goes all the way back to uh Matias skin at the heart of the fryberg defense flicked out wide towards gun it’s a little bit too uh heavy almost uh went past Vice Hort as well
It’s out for a throw in in the right format position for soou B f one Rangers two L his score line after 65 minutes in Lisbon tonight Liverpool winners by five goals to one away in Prague Roma beat Brighton 4-n in Rome in the early kickoff and Aston Villa Drew nil nil in
The conference League away from home in Amsterdam with a second legs order to come in a week’s time it’s still goalless between fryberg and West Ham and patar too casual the ball was played up to him and he was in space and he could have taken a touch actually
Instead he started to flick it around the corner and from the center of the the fryberg half Jared boen wasn’t really on the same wavelength and it was cut out by fryberg it was an interesting one cuz as a player you know gint and Gilder have done a really good job
Getting tied to pakatan it was the one time that he just needed to take a little look because they were nowhere around him so he needs to mix it up a little bit I understand where he was doing because it happens to the best of us where you know the players have been
All over him every time he gets the ball because they know how integral he is with the ball but if he just had a little look he could have turned in that space But that pocket of space that he’s finding himself in there that’s where he’s the most dangerous that’s where he
Can be really effective when he’s turning and running at Players yeah he’s playing a more Central role in this second half as well with boing going out towards the right hand side uh it has just meant that uh cus has been given almost a bit more license
To to roam he also is on the right too it’s very heavily weighted down that side they look a little bit unbalanced down the left not as much coming down that area of the field W prow has sort of moved into that area of the field Good Touch by pakar
Into W prows left edge of the area strikes it it came across his body on his left foot and he wasn’t comfortable and he couldn’t get enough Venom behind it and it was easily saved Down Low by atub bolu yeah to be fair like by the
Time sh played it to him it was bobbling along the floor we know it’s on his weaker foot so it just didn’t have much Pace on it but I think it’s interesting sound CU you said it in the first half the B would go out wide in the second
Half and pakata would be Central and they clearly look better the players look more comfortable in those areas a chance to to break forward for Salah and he couldn’t quite control it after gregorich had just nudged it into his body just a bit behind him he tried to
Carry it forward and it eventually ran through to the goalkeeper fryberg fans enjoying themselves behind the goal jumping up and down trying to keep things moving here is uh MRA Panos for West Ham United it’s been a goal in the game at the stadium of light talk sports David Tanner is
Watching 67 minutes gone it’s Benfica two Rangers two now and the Portuguese are back in this game thanks to an own goal it was a free kick from wide right floated into the box and Connor Goldson with not a red Jersey near him heads the
Ball into the top Corner well out of the reach of his own goalkeeper Jack butland who’s had a terrific performance Gare Southgate will be interested to hear tonight but against the Run of play would have to be said Benfica have equalized it’s Benfica two Rangers to
Sam back here it’s fryberg nil West Ham United nil that’s disappointing and disappointing for Conor Goldston as well and Rangers 22 the score there 68 minutes I think played in that game we’re a little bit further ahead here fryberg nil West Ham nil and we’re heading up to our 77th minute
And uh West Ham United with Burnley to play on Sunday we’ll keep you in touch with that in the Sunday session here is Creswell bursting forward tries to get to the edge of the area producing a lovely cross into the box it just a whisker away from Jared boen who came in
On the edge of the 6-y box and was just a couple of hair follicles from converting what was a delicious left footed delivery by The Substitute Aaron Creswell absolutely brilliant ball from Aaron Creswell we know he has that in his locker a touch upon it when he came
On about the types of deliveries that he has and he can do and it was just inches away from jarro Bowen but fantastic ball into the box and that’s why I was trying to make a point of Sam that these players look more comfortable in those areas pako looks more comfortable higher
Up I still don’t think he should be in that number nine role but they have to make do with what they have right now and the players that are available and that they have Jared B looks more comfortable out wide as well so why don’t they start in that way like they
Clearly you know it’s a tactic they use but kudus is now getting involved in the game War the distances are close closer between job and Cuda so why did they not start like that we going to send lean down through the interview with David Moyes a little
Bit later on I’m sure he’ll love [Laughter] me danan doesn’t reach it I don’t like I don’t mind David Moyers you know I think sometimes the players have yes manage to have tactics but it’s not down to David Moyers to play through the lines when the players have the ball at their feet
You know some of them are making such poor decisions when they’re getting it he’s not on the pitch telling them don’t turn the back line when sua had that opport to play James war prous in he wasn’t telling them you know go backwards that’s when the players have to also
Take responsibility upon themselves 11 minutes to go going to be a couple more substitutions for fryberg in the next few moments looks like kubl is coming on Lucas Kubla who missed the last game with a thigh injury he’s about to into the throw down in front of us Suma wants a free kick
Referee say we’ve got the ball what do you want a free kick for play on West Ham encouraged to get it Forward we’re going into the final 10 minutes here live on talk sport tonight and chances have been few and far between but more of them have come for West Ham in the
Second half and certainly they’ve looked the more likely in that second half to get in front in the game 11 attempts four of them on Target West Ham 11 attempts two on target for fryberg over the course of the 79 minutes and 30 seconds we’ve had so far Kus out towards
The far touch line the stadion and in fryberg Fall to brimming and with a hell of a lot of noise 2,000 West Ham fans have made the journey and they would love a last minute goal in this game a late goal in this game remember they scored late goals in their game against
Everton to goals in stoppage time in last Saturday’s encounter which certainly gave it a little bit of a sugar coating but they’ve given the ball away cheaply here and Gregor reach has sent it out wide and it’s Vice Hort out towards the left wing for fryberg he
Stops the ball plays it on gun joining tees it back up for Salah inside the area and he sends it into Gregor and he Taps it home from inside the 6-y box there is a foror look by fabianski Across the line to see if the offside flag goes up but gregorich is
Celebrating he believes he’s given fryberg the lead with 10 minutes remaining in the stadion andfor spinkle and after hardly having an effort on goal in the second half they have stolen the lead a mistake by Edson Alvarez giving it away on halfway Gregor reach picked it up from egin he was sent wide
Towards the left and when the ball came back into the box eventually from gun salai drove it through the area and Gregor timed his run to Perfection to tap it home and steer fryberg into the lead in the tie it’s fryberg one West Ham nil yeah this is this all comes from
Alvarez it’s a really poor giveaway you cannot lose the ball in that area when you’re on the build up and instantly I thought this has to be offside when you look at the replay definitely not offside maver Panos is you know two or three yards behind Kurt Zumer and that’s
Who’s playing you know gregori on so we mentioned you know he was always going to cause a problem he a tapping in the end and it looks like now you know David Moyes is ringing in the changes but it’s a poor giveaway really poor giveaway from Alvarez and you cannot give away
That ball in those areas at all couple of challenges including Calvin Phillips on for w prow and uh Mia is on pil dilia and Kua and danan and is the other change or Kua for danan is the other change for fryberg so West Ham now behind in the Tie by a goal
To nil in fryberg and that was sloppy from Edson Alvarez I think he’s been brilliant All Season Edson Alvarez but that mistake on halfway you give a team a chance like that and you invite pressure and if you’re not quite switched on it causes you an issue and
Gregor reach who’s got more goals than any other player in the Europa League for fryberg has scored once again his eighth European goal in his career yeah and we know how good he is at scoring goals but I think Alvarez you know he’s been good this season but I think he’s been quite
Poor and I think this is where the West Ham fans you know get from frustrated because they go behind I think James War prous has looked pretty effective when he’s on the ball but do you take James War prous off and put Calvin Phillips on
Sur do you take off Alvarez or suek and that’s probably the frustration where it comes from I know it’s easy to say when you’re sitting and watching these games management is completely different sound we know that but I think you know when it comes down to it West Ham would have
More of a chance of winning this game we bringing themselves back into it with James war prous on and Calvin Philips short do you sacrifice you know looks like su’s higher up the field of play now almost playing in the two with patar so you’ve got cus on the left hand side
Boing on the right so and patar as the sort of central figures and Alvarez and Calvin Phillips the two in front of the defense as fryberg come forward again down the left towards the edge of the area Gunter picks out egin and egin while he wraps his left foot around it
But couldn’t keep it down it goes over the bar and out for a goal kick and West Ham are got to be a little bit careful here because one n rescuable 2- n big problem yeah and you know eggenstein there just hits it completely over the
Bar but you can see they’re getting into good areas and again you know the tactics from tonight’s game from David Moyes you know I was kind of sticking up for David Moyes before the game and I was saying look at where they they are let’s have a little bit of realism about
It but what I’m seeing within this game it was winnable still is winnable for West Ham but you don’t take off you bring on Calvin Phillips I know he’s not had the best start to his West Ham career but I like Calvin Phillips I still think there’s a good player within
Him he just needs to get some games get needs to get some minutes but you don’t take off ward PRS in these types of games and I think that’s where the frustration comes from with the fans Well you certainly don’t take off ward prows and replace him with Phillips in
The seconds after you’ve conceded the first goal exactly no not at all you don’t do that and I think you have more chance of winning the game with both those players on the field of play it’s very negative you know tactical thing to do to keep two defensive midfielders and
Now a third one yeah Calvin Phillips can play the pivot role having three players in that position when you’re trying to win the game you know it’s full G conclusion that FY B come to the London Stadium and end up you know West down beat him it’s not full G conclusion at
All 5 minutes to go normal time fber one West Ham nil and Calvin Phillips to take a free kick for West Ham he sends it high into the opposition box soek with a header Zuma tries to fly a volley goal as he Mis kicks it it’s cleared Away by
Gun and into the midpoint of the fryberg half back on halfway it’s with Aaron Creswell for West Ham they Trail by goal to nil and what is becoming a difficult night in the Black Forest to navigate their way through they send the ball up towards pakar who helps it on it’s behind
Boing it was a bit too easy for pakar to get hold of that ball and you would have thought maybe he might have been better serve taking an extra touch bringing it down and using it as a platform from which to build absolutely and I think
You know I think he’s had a decent game tonight pakar is getting into good positions but I think we’ve seen a couple of times flicking it around the corner I love players that have flare and creativity you never want to take that away from him but he has to just
Bring that down on the chest there himself create opportunity you can’t be just nonchalantly chesting it you know to the opposition in the 18 y Box bit of a whack for Kurt Zuma to deal with he’s just stretching out his left leg Phillips gets things moving again for West Ham One n to fryberg 86 minutes on the clock live on talk sport the second leg comes next Thursday from 5:45 and fryberg about to take a lead
With the to London six games without a win in the league but they’ve come and outwitted West Ham and we shouldn’t be surprised that they had a spell going forward they’ve had more shots than anybody else in the competition before this match day 137 before today another
13 tonight so 150 shots and they scored more goals than any other team in the Europa League this season before tonight Gregor reach has got their latest they might not be top scorers now that uh Liverpool scored five this evening but they’ve certainly always carried an attacking threat and we shouldn’t be
Surprised that at some point in the second half when they didn’t look like they were going to they’ve tested the West Ham defense and broken it and we’ve said that before about how many goals you know West Ham have leaked this season and I think it’s really poor
Organizationally on that goal you know the the back line are all over the place and you’re looking at it from a football perspective when you’re seeing it you think that has to be offside there’s no way and then maver penel and Kurt Zumer they’re completely behind you know
They’re not in the line sual is not in the line with him either and it’s like you know all players go to put their hand up as soon as they think it’s going to be offside it definitely isn’t and it’s a poor goal to give away really
Unorganized in those areas and I think you know overall I don’t think fryberg have been better than West Ham I just think they’ve obviously taken I think it’s been a poor game overall Sam I think the quality wise hasn’t been very good when it comes to final third play I
Think both teams would be happy with the draw we saw we said that from the minute one you can see both teams are quite pragmatic you know no one’s really willing to kind of break the lines or anything like that so I think it’s been
Not the best game at all kber about to win their first game since the 20th of January Christian strike their manager said he was determined his side would give it a real go against West Ham they certainly have done that 2 minutes for West Ham to find an
Equalizer that would change the nature of the tie Kus out wide towards Creswell Creswell on halfway travels back into his own half and then tries to get forward he sends it to Zuma Phillips is on the near touch line and we’ve only got two minutes left Christian strike the
Fryberg brost is a fan favorite understated but full of charm he’s 12E spell in charge is a record-breaking one he’s known for rousing speeches lost only six of his 22 EUR Europa League matches before tonight very well thought of in this part of Germany and Beyond it’ll be even greater thought thought of
After this if they get the victory tonight ball goes back into the fryberg half and it’s with hler back to goulda then on down the left looking for guru’s got forward it’s amazing that gunu has played two 90-minute games now bearing in mind that he was out pretty much for
Most of the season with a series of injuries including two broken arms and a series infection well yeah the fact that he’s come through two back to back 90 minutes especially of this magnitude within this game you know mentally psychologically and physically fair play to him but like I said I don’t think
West Ham have necessarily deser to lose this game and I still think you know they can get something out of it theyve got individual players that could do something pakar gave the ball away far too cheaply Phillips has won it back there tigerly then send it back to his
Goalkeeper fabians launched it h the German Sky it drops down on the head of G ginta ginta out to The Far Side to gun ginta to gun and then into with sofou on the halfway line and West Ham have it with Phillips I think we’ve seen three opportunities there the last three times
Back at St deor I like him as a player the creativity but I think he has to do better when he’s possessing the ball I think when West H’s backs are against D they need to find something I don’t know if he has that in him I think you know
When things are going well great but you need those players within this team they have that bite about them there’s no doub in pako’s quality but who really has that leadership mentality within this West Ham Squad that’s like actually we’re not going to have this you know we
Shouldn’t be losing games like this and I and I question that four minutes added at the end of the 19 and they’re about to make one more change and bring on Miguel Antonio for the final few minutes of the game does seem like an act that is probably a
Little bit too long in the coming so foul down the right side into Philips Now help on that’s the type of substitution sound that needs to happen as soon as they conceded not the Calvin Phillips for James warrow bring Calvin Phillips on keep him on but you bring on
Mel Antonio you’re losing the game and you need a goal pakar coming off and Antonio coming on for the final few seconds of the game 2 minutes or so Antonio it’s been a long time since he last scored a goal not managed to register a goal in his last four in
Appearances for West Ham last go was against Brighton on August the 26th I know he’s had injuries but that’s a long time without one that is a long time but the one thing I like about Mikel Antonio is that he’s hungry has sent the ball down the left hand side and they’re on
The Scamper once again Musa trying to get into an advanced position and across comes mavropanos and sends it out of play and away for a throw the ryberg supporters believe they’re going to win the game lean they believe they’re going to get the job done yeah it seems that way as
Well which is quite surprising I don’t think they’ve necessarily been the better team at all but again you know bringing Mel Antonio on with two minutes to go like I said he’s a type of player that’s tireless you know he does a lot of selfless running that I think West
Ham needs you know you need players like that in your team that’s going to Tire down the defense because I think they’ve wasted a lot of energy in West H within this game with players having to do too much off the ball running when they get
The ball there’s no options for them to go forward soek sent it high in towards the back post it’s headed behind and that was a rather unnecessary concession of a set piece by Kubla and he puts it out in the way for a corner in the 93rd minute
Of the game well if Pam get something from this they’ll be absolutely delighted boen Inside the Box waiting for a Creswell delivery a left footed arking one away from the goalkeeper incoming from Aaron Creswell they’re queued up inside the Box here every West Ham player is in there apart from
Creswell it’s a deep one to the far post Alvarez heads it back across the face of goal Kubler away back out as far as soou into the area it goes it’s still not clear cus brings it down needs a bit of poise here a good delivery required
We’ve got 90 seconds left it’s to the back post headed down by mavropanos it was worldwide of the goal and it goes out for a goal kicker maybe that is going to be that yeah I mean Kudos du digs that ball out really well we’ve seen him do that two or three times
Tonight to the far post but by the time the ball gets to m Finos there’s again not enough power on it to generate it to go to to go on goal so you know the chances are there Sam I think West Ham both teams have been quite you know I’d
Say quite pedestrian when they’ve had the ball I think you I think West Ham have looked a bit better when they’re trying to get after it but again you know you’d expect West Ham to be winning games like tonight and it’s not a fullone conclusion you know the second
Leg that they’re going to win that game comfortably it’s not great clearance by egenin and then Antonio has spotted the Run of Bo down the right hand side he’s played a beautiful ball to him 30 seconds to go boing into the penalty here gets it onto his left foot drives
It Gos it Roch shetes kindly Inside the Box Philips can’t get there boen feels he’s been flawed on the edge of the area the referee says play on is a throw into West Ham down by the corner flag is there going to be one last chance here
Fryberg one West Ham United nil into the final few seconds long throw incoming from Vlad suou can they complete a rescue act West Ham United so foul runs up to the perimeter of the the playing service and sends it launching towards the near post vicked on by alv comes
Back to Phillips who cracks it into a crowd and it repels out towards the far side back in again it goes a hand goes up inside the penalty area a flick onto the back post it’s still not clear mavropanos over the bar and they’re checking bar here for a possible West
Ham penalty I’ll tell you what Calvin Phillips caught the first one really really well and it looked like it ricocheted and West down were coming at it probably for the first time in this game we’ve seen them you know going at it and it looks like they’re checking it on the
V there’s a potential penalty check here the hand was definitely up and above his shoulder and it struck him and it I’m pretty sure that this is going to be a penalty for West Ham I’m almost certain that that strikes the hand of v h as the
Ball is cleared into the air inside the area I think this is a penalty yeah I think judging by the rules that we’re told and what they’re meant to be that should be a penalty yes it would be harsh but the ball the the hand is outside the silhouette
High up in the air it would be harsh he is going away from the goal but I have a feeling it might be given as well I think the referee will be called over to the monitor here because I don’t think that I think he makes his body unnaturally bigger and we’ve seen
Penalties given for less than that in European football this season go back to the game in the park to France where Newcastle will deny the victory because of a a penalty in the last minute of that game I think this is is more obvious and
Uh there’s no doubt that it hits the arm the ball comes into the area so Che WS his foot at it he places the ball he kicks the ball into the air and vice hop has his arm up above his shoulder it strikes the arm of the fryberg
Player and on the evidence we’ve seen I think has to be a penalty they are waiting there is incredible amounts of time being spent here look at at this by the Spanish officials in the v room it’s massive call this you can see and from
Vice he’s kind of he knows it hit his arm he knows it’s hit his hand you can tell in a player’s face and I feel for him because it’s a hard one Sam because yes it was in an unnatural position but it has he’s not done he not like a
Purpose he’s not done it on purpose that’s what they checking for here because this is so clear it either is or it isn’t isn’t it I mean you you don’t need to look at it 40 times you either make decision that that is a penalty or not yeah it’s it’s
A hard one because I have no idea what they’re looking at why it’s taking so longere to the monitor soek might might have committed a foul as he attempted to get on the ball and pushed Vice hop in the back maybe he’s considering that as a possible
Option but there’s no doubt that it struck the hand yeah didn’t again this is taking far too long I mean I have no idea why they’ve not called the referee over to the monitor it makes no sense you know now it’s been almost 3 minutes minutes that they’ve been checking this for it’s
Taking too long I thought the referee is going over to his monitor so now he’s going to review the footage and if he does I’m pretty certain he’s going to point to the Penalty spot and offer West Ham United the chance to equalize in the 998th possibly the 99th
Minute so he’s watching the replay of the ball coming into the box the two players tangling sparring into the air and vice hop striking his wrist his arm is in a natural position I think it’s the most obvious one I’ve seen in a long time yeah I still think it’s quite harsh
But I the thing that bothers me under the rules the rules are the rules yeah and that is a penalty we’ve seen you’re right you know one’s given Newcastle but I don’t understand why it’s taking three minutes Sam to send him over to the monitor they’ll looking they’ll be looking at proximity
But I think proximity actually is eradicated when you have your arms that high in the air and that far away from your body body so I think it’s very difficult you know I’m I’m just using the the raft the penalty decisions that I’ve seen given when these incidents have occurred to inform my
Judgment that I believe that that as a result should be a penalty if you asking me if I think realistically it should be a penalty my answer would be no it’s far too harsh but under the current laws of the game I think he has to give it
Exactly and we sit on these calls at the beginning of the Season we get taught the rules here’s the verdict the referee does the tele Vision signal and he doesn’t give a penalty he overrules the V and decides no penalty and I’ve got to be honest I
Cannot believe it wow I’m lost for words because I said to you didn’t i s
