The Toffees' performances lacked passion, faults such as conceding goals from set-pieces went unaddressed and, most damning of all, Silva's team lacked heart and stomach for a fight. Marco Silva has lost more Premier League matches than he has won at EvertonSilva has won 19 of 53 Premier League games - in that time they have gone behind 28 times and never fought back to win. Not one comeback from behind since his first game in August 2018.
The Football Association has said it will take a "common sense approach" to such protests. Four players, including Borussia Dortmund's England forward Jadon Sancho, were initially investigated by the Bundesliga authorities for making clear their support for anti-racism demonstrations in the wake of the death of 46-year-old Floyd in police custody in the United States last month. None was subsequently punished and the German Football Association said it would continue to allow such displays of support over the coming weeks.
IN OTHER GREAT GOAL NEWS Nothing much to see here, just Josip Ilicic scoring this absolute beauty from the half-way line as Atalanta smashed Torino 7-0. To be perfectly honest he’s hit that so well we’re not sure the keeper is going to save that even if he was in his goal. HAT-TIP There are going to be a lot of new football tournaments coming in the next year or so and the Warm-Up isn’t convinced we need any of them, let alone that they’re actually going to be any good (which they won’t).

The hosts are favorite here but really aren't much better team. The team only won two of the last 5 home games and these were against bad teams. The host are in red zone and just one point behind Bylis but in last three matches they have been able to win two matches. Guests seems bad but 3 draws in the last 5 games are decent enough not to lose against the hosts. I think the two will score and the match will be close. Bylis' team has the means to take points against their opponent of the day. Indeed, visitors remain in good shape and have not lost a lot of direct meetings.
That match in October was the only time Liverpool dropped points in the current campaign. Important football game," Klopp added.

Now we’re fairly confident that most people are able to translate what Williams was saying to the fans in the video above but we’re not going to give any ‘sorry for the language used’ type of warning.

Here's what some of the other Premier League managers had to say:Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "From a personal point of view, I'm happy Manchester City can play in next season's Champions League, because if they have 12 games less, I don't see any chance for any other teams in the Premier League. I don't wish anything bad on anyone but I don't think it was a good day for football. Financial Fair Play (FFP) is a good idea and it is there to protect teams and the competition.

It was important for me because it was my second goal in as many games and it gave me that confidence after not starting the opening two games. Scoring the first goal in a big game like that is really important. It was a massive relief for the team. It set us up for victory and we carried that momentum throughout the tournament.

Kopetdag looks amazing and they started their new season in good form. They managed 8 points in the first 4 games so far. They has one of the best defense in the league. They often get involved in low scoring matches. But I think it's worth waiting for high scoring matches as they host Ahal, who are one of the title contenders. Obviously, the hosts cannot afford to lose this match and they will try to get anything positive in a match with a direct competitor. meamwhile Ahal is in amazing form too. They have a total scoreline of 7-0. Their attack are surely going to test the solidity of hosts defense. Probably, Ahal will find the net in this match and I think that there will be no winner.

A bet on over 2.5 goals to be scored in this game looks to be a winner with neither side that good at defending.
