He said: "You try to pick some attributes from them to improve your own game, but in the end I think the most important thing is to observe them but not change your own style of play.

Pearson is the club's third manager of the season, and this performance gave some indication of why they are struggling. The Hornets are the lowest scorers in the league with nine goals, and they failed to register a single shot on target in the first half. They started both halves brightly and showed glimpses of promise through Ismaila Sarr but his final ball often failed to match up to his exciting build-up play.
Fingal’s three seasons of footballSporting Fingal’s first season of football was solid if not spectacular as they finished fourth in the second tier - and reached the FAI Cup quarter-finals - a decent effort considering the late notice. But their second was a different proposition altogether. They beat Bray Wanderers in the play-offs to reach the Premier Division. They had targeted reaching the top flight in five years - but managed it in two.
Football in Bulgaria. Vitosha Bistritsa plays against CSKA Sofia. The favorite is the invited team. CSKA ranks 4th in the league with a balance of 13W 7D 4L. The home team is in last position in the league with a balance of 1W 3D 20L. I think we will see a high score in this game.
Well Chinandega made me lose three bets in their last 3 games played, I bet that they shall not lose by more than one goal difference away at Ferretti, they were 2-0 down by the 20 minute of the game receiving a red card by half-time while in the second half they conceded 5 more goals to end up losing 7-0 in the end the biggest loss of the season. They also have a recent 5-1 loss away from home at Esteli and Diriangen is quite solid home team, only lost in early stages to Sabanas with 2-1 at home even defeating the league leaders from Managua FC with 2-0 and same score at home with 2nd placed Esteli as well so of course I trust they can also win this game by at least 2 goals difference.

Jalapa fc is here to clash against Chinandega fc in their ongoing league games in Nicaragua division, the visiting team have beaten Juventus Managua in their last game with scoring four goals to nil so I think they are in good form so far and I see that they have won their last two games of their meetings so I think they are going to get another three points from this game despite being away from home. The home team have lost their last game by two goals to nil so they are not in their usual form so I am backing the visitors to get all points.
Before kick-off, only bottom side Watford, with eight, had scored fewer than Palace's 11. But the visitors, who had not won since 5 October, were aided by their hosts' mistakes and took their chances with aplomb. Talisman Zaha is crucial to Palace's hopes and the forward appears to have put his quiet start to the season behind him.
Anthony Pulis, his 35-year-old son, will join as compensation is agreed with his current club St Louis. He will join as Diego Alonso’s assistant ahead of the new season in America. The club appointed Alonso after failing to land Carlo Ancelotti and Patrick Vieira. Paper Round’s view: Beckham has until March to assemble his first playing squad, meaning he has a couple of months until he needs to get his players ready to start the season.
He seems happy most of the time and at one with himself. He's in a position where he has got a bit of backing and there seems to be a good understanding with the ownership of the club, which was a big question mark a lot of us had when he took over. Usually with Jose it is a control thing. He seems to be smiling a lot more and that could be because he is getting what he wants and there is a good line of control at Spurs.

Krumkachy will against Gomel in match Belarusia Pershaya Liga. My prediction this match could be the end score is over 2.5 goals due to Krumkachy on last 2 match in league can make total score is 8 goals. Meanwhile, Gomel on last 2 match in league only can make total score is 2 goals. Therefore, I think this match will much score from both team. Moreover Krumkachy will play this match in the home and surely Krumkachy will productive on this match. Likewise Gomel on last 2 match only can make total score is 2 goals and have yet won. Therefore, I think Gomel will rise up to make much score on this match.
A forgotten gem?Fantasy football is a lot like high fashion - everyone is after the latest season's hot item.

Currently stuffed halfway along the coat rail of Wolverhampton's TK Maxx is one Matt Doherty - a sleek little number that ripped up the catwalks in 2018.
Pep Guardiola says Manchester City are "not used to doing these things" after his side won at Real Madrid for the first time to take control of their Champions League last-16 tie. Isco had put Real ahead but a Gabriel Jesus strike and a Kevin de Bruyne penalty secured a 2-1 first-leg win. It is the first time City have won at a major European team in the knockout stage of the competition. To win at the Bernabeu is a great satisfaction for us," Guardiola said.

Ancelotti, 60, who won the league and FA Cup double with Chelsea in 2010, is available after being sacked by Napoli, with former Everton boss David Moyes and Unai Emery, sacked by Arsenal on 29 November, also in the frame.

Manchester United's history, brand and reach was also "a selling point in terms of recruitment" when the team was set up, says Stoney.
Fulham should prey on QPR's problems, as the hosts have scored 1.8 goals per home game this term. The Cottagers are coming off an impressive win at Birmingham and we expect them to improve their great record at home to the Rs. We’re backing a Fulham victory as our main tip here.
We hope Scotty will be back as soon as possible," Solskjaer added. Maybe Villa, maybe Spurs, hopefully for Sunday. The beauty we have with Paul is that he can play in so many roles. He can play in a [midfield] two, he can play in a three and he can play as a No. Jesse [Lingard] is also coming back to his best.
We did a fantastic job today. Everybody was so sharp and put everything on the pitch, and this is the only way we want to play and how our fans want us to play. It's the first step in the right direction if you defend like a Premier League team. We are defending very well. We know we can always score with Ingsy up front.

Atletico manage to win the first match with 1-0, producing the first defeat for Liverpool after an incredible unbeaten run. Simeone played tactically almost perfect, help by the goal scored at the beginning of the match. With all the attack power, Liverpool had 0 shots on goal and this says a lot. I expect the same tactic to be applied here, but I don't think that Liverpool will not score. Their captain Henderson is back and this could influence a lot the game. Liverpool are not in their best form, fatigue has installed and this could be exploited by Atletico. I see a game in which both will score, but Liverpool going through.
