Player Performance

Jack Sessions (@Jack10Gooner) hosts the latest episode with guests Neil Shah (@Neilby70) and James Johnstone (@LLcoolJames91). The lads chat about the 1-0 home win vs Bournemouth with focus on Pepe’s improvement, Luiz' header and composure, a good first half display, the issues after half time, Kolasinac’s effort, Dani Ceballos the football purist, Callum Chambers being exactly we lacked at right back, moving up to 3rd, changes we may see when we return from the international break, Martinelli's emergence and look ahead to Sheffield United. Plus so much more!!!

A weekend full of surprises as Man City, Spurs and Man United lose after limp displays— but what a day for Steve Bruce and Matty Longstaff! No Brucey belly rub for Man United this time. Could the Longstaffs be the new Ameobis? Bruce in! Elsewhere, Norwich took a phenomenal gubbing as the topics went fully out of the window, Luis Figo has a job at Guildford’s tourist board and we have updates on Gordon Bennett and a surprisingly confident Kevin Keegan.

The FA Cup quarter finals are over and they were full of late goals, VAR controversy and sort-of-but-not-quite cupsets, the Championship had an outfield player in goal, and in the Premier League Javier Hernandez’s impressive under-the-radar goal return justified the West Ham spend that everyone’s jealous of.

A football packed show (obviously) as we look back at another difficult top six away trip for Arsenal, which Pep Guardiola decided was exactly the time to see which of his players can function out of position, a feline pitch invader causing everyone to make the same joke about Everton’s running, and Wes Craven’s Leeds indulging in that familiar Marcelo Bielsa wobble. We also give you a peak behind the scenes, perhaps too far behind the scenes in the case of a certain fun fair related anecdote, learn that everyone has a price, and discover a convoluted name for a sausage.

Big games require big performances with big moments. If Vancouver Whitecaps' showing in Portland this weekend is an indication, then the team look to have the stomach for the battle ahead. There's a lot to talk about and we have five of AFTN's finest to do just that, all of them from various places around Cascadia. With Steve home alone in upper Cascadia, and Zach stuck with a broken down car in middle Cascadia, Michael joins on the phone from the lower Cascadia coast to look back at the 'Caps fantastic win against the Timbers. A strong defensive team effort was on show and the guys break it down, with the help of some audio from both head coaches. Joe and Nick are in the house, their own one, not the studio, to bring their preview expertise to the show and look ahead to what is set to be a dramatic Canadian Championship final second leg in Toronto midweek. The 'Caps head in as the underdogs, but every dog has its day, so can Wednesday be the Whitecaps one? All this, plus we hear from Stefan Marinovic after the win in Portland, look at what the 'Caps lack of spending in this transfer window may mean, Zach joins Steve to look at the weekend's action around MLS West and Argy Bargy feature in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.25: Portland Timbers v Vancouver Whitecaps match analysis23.49: Coaches audio - Carl Robinson and Gio Savarese28.32: Whitecaps' player performances v Timbers39.18: Stefan Marinovic interview and discussion52.48: TFC v Whitecaps Canadian Championship final second leg preview78.57: Wavelength - Argy Bargy - Saturday's Glory85.48: MLS West week in review108.09: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

It's a grueling time for Vancouver Whitecaps. Three matches in eight days, with two of them in the space of four days, all of them crucial for how the season could play out, and it's sweltering hot outside. This will test a lot about the current 'Caps squad. After a gutless performance in Seattle, and a battling midweek one against Montreal to reach the Canadian Championship final, which Whitecaps team will we see turn up to take on an in-form Minnesota United side this weekend? Will there be more rotation to rest some guys up, or does Robbo ride a clean sheet and a good performance on Wednesday night with an almost same starting XI? Was that win against Montreal a blip or a turning point? How can the struggling Whitecaps defence cope with the huge danger posed by Minnesota's Darwin Quintero (9 goals and 6 assists), Christian Ramirez (7 goals and 2 assists), and Miguel Ibarra (6 goals and 6 assists)? Joe returns from baby daddy duties this week to discuss all of that and more with Nick, plus a quick look back over that win over the Impact, the Alphonso Davies transfer, and the guys play a frankly terrifying 'Choose Your Own Adventure' game with a Whitecaps twist. Have a listen!

Well! Spain and Portugal treated us to an all time great and we’re still frothing at the mouthes just thinking about it. Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea, Diego Costa, that Nacho goal. So many moments. This is what it’s all about. On top of all that there’s Mystic Marcus the psychic pig, a surprisingly misfiring Luis Suarez, and an own goal that may prove to be fateful for everyone’s favourite heartbreaker.

The questions everyone wanted answered after last week's hammering in Kansas City was how would Vancouver Whitecaps' players react and what kind of mood would the fans be in. After a week building up to it, we got some answers at BC Place on Friday night. The Whitecaps got the job done against Real Salt Lake and came away with all three points, but it wasn't a performance for the ages against a pretty poor looking visiting side. Still, three points are three points and it ended the 'Caps three game losing streak. Steve, Zach, and Chris pick over the bones of it all. Is it a turning point or was it just papering over the cracks? We also hear from both head coaches, discuss the dissenting voices amongst the media and fanbase leading up to the match, see how the weekend played out for the MLS western teams, discuss the latest big Canadian Premier League news, and Culture Vulture has a song about Roy of the Rovers in our Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.20: Whitecaps v RSL match analysis30.48: Mike Petke and Carl Robinson audio36.45: Fines Lines - Dissenting voices against Robbo and the FO in the fanbase and media51.17: Whitecaps v RSL player analysis72.46: Latest Canadian Premier League news79.30: MLS West Week in Review90.12: Wavelength - Culture Vulture - Roy Of The Rovers Rap94.57: BC Soccerweb headlines

Death, taxes, the Whitecaps getting screwed by VAR, and being unable to break down a poor team. That's what feels inevitable in life right now. The 'Caps headed to RSL and it wasn't so much a case of the result being taken with a pinch of salt, but the Salty ones pinching a result. We pick over the bones of a poor outing in Utah, have a look at what went wrong in the 2-1 loss, and look at the individual performances of some of the 'Caps players and Robbo. We'll also look at the weekend's action amongst the MLS Western Conference teams, bring you a Flash Five about footballing brothers, talk Fish and Chips with Gordon Forrest, chat Panini stickers, introduce our new Swap Shop segment, and Halftime Oranges feature in this week's Wavelength section.

The two Mikes interrupt this transfer window discussion with the Arsenal Crisis Conch (patent pending), and use it as a springboard into more transfer talk, not just about the Gunners, but also many of their Top 6 counterparts. There's also some Dortmund and PSG chatter that gets mixed in, thanks to the players involved in some of the bigger transfers this window. Plus, one Mike uses the opportunity to talk about pundits saying players "lack end product," and how it never means what they thin...

Vancouver Whitecaps are moving on up. Are they set to hit a purple patch of the season? Seven points from three tough matches bodes well, but can they find the consistency they are needing to take them down the stretch and finish in one of the top two places in the West. We look back at he home draw against Seattle and the win on the road in Orlando. The 'Caps gave up a lot of shots and a lot of possession but still came away with four points from the six on the table, moving them up fourth in the standings. What went right? What's a cause for concern? And what players stood out for good and bad reasons? We look at all that and more, plus we're joined by Radio Cascadia's Stephen Agen to look at the teams in the Western Conference right now and how things might shake out in the mix.

‘Lacazette is going to score goals for this club’ maxjones Sun, 06/08/2017 - 18:24 Alexandre Lacazette may not have scored in our Community Shield triumph over Chelsea, but he still made a big impact. Starting his first match at Wembley, the France international linked up well with Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi in attack, and even curled a stunning strike off the woodwork. Lacazette received a warm ovation when he was replaced by Olivier Giroud after 66 minutes, and Theo Walcott was impressed with our new striker’s performance. See what the boss made of Kolasinac Find out what Elneny made of the game “Hitting the post shows his quality,” he said. “When you give him time and space on the ball, he’s got quality and he showed that. The way he held the ball up too… Obviously the manager will be the best judge of his game, as I was too focused on what I could do to change the game when I came on. “He’s a goalscorer and he’s going to score goals for this club. The number of key players we have in all sorts of positions, they’re going to supply for him and Oli as well. There’s loads of competition as well.” Next up is our Leicester City on Friday night, and Walcott cannot wait to get our Premier League season underway. “A night game might be better for us,” he said. “It’s a bit different, a bit new for us and our fans will be up for it. Home support is always crucial and that will be so key this season as the fans will just be behind the team from kick off all the way through. “You’ve got to be patient sometimes with this formation that we’re playing, as we’re still learning to play a different style of football. We’re getting better and I think that showed today. We managed to stop Chelsea from playing the sort of football that they do, when they play out to the full backs. “We stopped that very well because we worked on it. The Premier League’s back and that’s what we want to do, just play football. If you ask anyone on that bus now, they’ll tell you that they just want to play.”

The highs and lows of football in MLS in the space of five days. That was Vancouver Whitecaps' week. We look back at whatever it was that played out at BC Place on Sunday afternoon in the Cascadian derby against Portland Timbers, and hear from both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and Portland's Caleb Porter, and our Timbers Man of the Match, Jake Gleeson. We also look back at Canada's showing at the Gold Cup and what the future of the national team may look like, listen to Mike Petke's epic rant at officiating, and a well known American footballer make his first (and only?) appearance in our Wavelength section.

The boys are back in town. Well men, but Thin Lizzy didn't sing that. And it was a case of men against boys for much of Saturday's match at BC Place as Vancouver Whitecaps came away with a 2-0 victory over the Western Conference leading Sporting Kansas City. We look back at the 'Caps victory - the performance, the unchanged line-up for a fifth straight match, which players stood out, and which ones may need a rest. We bring you audio from both head coaches, Carl Robinson and Peter Vermes and ponder what we can take from the game moving forward. We also talk with goalscoring hero Tim Parker after his first MLS goal, and hear from KC's Roger Espindoza after his horror challenge on Alphonso Davies (he's only 16 man). There's also a look ahead to Tuesday's Canadian Championship clash with Montreal Impact, with some words from Robbo on the big game, plus I Ludicrous feature again in our Wavelength section, and lots more!

Buckle up, because we're covering a lot of ground in this week's episode. In chronological order, here are all the questions the gents were able to get to: – What is Everton's best case scenario if they sell Lukaku and Barkley this summer?– What stops first, and when: Spurs 'competing with the top 4', or Spurs spending around half as much on wages as them?– Does Klopp's style of play have the capacity, with an improved squad, to consistently defeat low block counter-attack Premier League...

Joey Vishny (@jvishny) hosts a couple regs in Jeff Hallett (@jeff_hallett) & Ali G (@AliG_FP) along with a couple newcomers to Talk On: Tyler Vinal (@tvinal), as seen on FootballPurists.com and Raj Chohan (@rajsinghchohan), LFC Correspondent for @FanTVUK. Of course, we do a thorough review of & minor wake for the club following Palace, we provide positive seat index ratings where we have ‘em to go with the negative, and we also look ahead to Watford Monday where our club can hopefully set itself right (+ or - some additional help). What was missing most for Liverpool in this tie? What did we think of how Klopp setup & his substitutions? What about Benteke & Sakho’s shenanigans? Another lovely ball from Countinho, who seemed the only one to show seriously for this match.

Vancouver Whitecaps are now on a two week break. I'm sure I speak for the vast majority of 'Caps fans when I say it couldn't come soon enough. I think we all need a break from this team right now, which is very worrying considering the season has just started. With no spark, no goals, little midfield creativity, and very little discipline, it's been a tough opening month that's seen the team clock up more red cards than league points. With pressure mounting, we look back at the last loss, a 2-0 home defeat to Toronto FC, and the main talking points from it. We hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinson and discuss some listeners tweets as the discontent in the fanbase grows. We're also going to hear some postgame thoughts from TFC head coach Greg Vanney and captain Michael Bradley about the match, Shea's sending off, the niggly ending, and more. Plus Steve catches up with former Whitecap Steven Beitashour for an exclusive chat about life in Toronto. And it's a welcome return to Half Man Half Biscuit in the 'Wavelength' section of the show, with a song and lyrics about modern football and how it feels to be watching the Whitecaps from the stands right now. Have a listen.

Joey Vishny (@jvishny) is back, hosting Bryan Painter (@bryan_painter), Ali G (@AliG_FP) and Jeff Hallett (@jeff_hallett) as we review the classic that was (haha) Liverpool's 2-1 result vs. Burnley at Anfield. What have Liverpool fans learned about the side, if anything? Final Analysis on Emre Can? Who's the best of the worst in CH pairings with Matip going forward? In addition to picking apart the match, we look at all the key players (Can, Mignolet, Gini), provide our Seat Index Ratings and look at what's to come at the weekend vs. Manchester City.

Part 1: West Ham United Review Chelsea 2-1 West Ham United, Premier League Monday, March 6th | London Stadium Fabregas was selected again over Matic, but this time the opponents weren't sloppy in possession and tight defensively. Instead, Fabregas had to unlock a physical side with lots of engergy. Up top Pedro has cemented a starting spot as his own and he delivered another assist today, absolutely playing the pass of the match to set up Hazard and the opening goal. This is the stuff of champions and we need to respect it! Man of the Match? N'Golo Kante, duh. Part 2: Social Media Questions What's wrong with Matic? Is this team the most adaptive ever? How terrible is the London Stadium? Will Conte stick to counter-attacking or try to kill teams off? And more! Part 3: Manchester United Preview Chelsea vs. Manchester United, Premier League Monday, March 13th | Stamford Bridge No Zlatan, no problem? Both teams have scored plenty of goals in the competition, but Mourinho's men play the week before in Europa League. Will Conte continue to rotate players or start to stick to his preferred Premier League lineup?
