Steven Gerrard has enjoyed his start to life as a Premier League manager after swapping Rangers for Aston Villa last month, with his side winning three of their first four league games under the 41-year-old.

Game number five was a return to Anfield for the former Liverpool captain, for whom the Villa boss made more than 700 appearances as a player.

Despite a resolute performance from the Midlands outfit, the Villans lost out to Jurgen Klopp’s side as Mo Salah’s 67th-minute penalty proved the difference on Saturday. Defensively the visitors looked solid, but one player in particular who stood out was Douglas Luiz.

The 23-year-old was a real presence in the middle of the park for the visitors, completing 84% of his passes as well as having 65 touches. Furthermore, the Brazilian had a 100% long ball accuracy and also completed all of his attempted dribbles whilst winning 75% of his duels.

According to SofaScore, Luiz’s fellow midfielder John McGinn struggled to replicate similar numbers to his teammate. The Scotsman had a 72% passing accuracy whilst also having fewer touches (56).

Moreover, McGinn lost possession 19 times compared to Luiz’s 11, meaning that the 27-year-old lost the ball every 2.9 touches as opposed to every 5.9 touches for the Brazilian.

The Scotsman has been one of Gerrard’s standout performers since the 41-year-old took charge of Villa last month, averaging a performance rating of 7.95 prior to the Liverpool contest, according to SofaScore. However, the midfielder could only manage a 6.3/10 rating against the Reds, making it his worst performance under the new manager by some margin.

As for Luiz, it’s certainly promising to see the Brazilian getting a run of matches under Gerrard after endured a mixed start to the season, missing games against West Ham, Southampton and Brighton.

Alongside McGinn and Marvelous Nakamba, it appears that the 23-year-old is part of the Villa manager’s preferred midfield trio, with that particular combination now starting the last three games. Today’s performance suggests that Luiz is making the most of the chances being handed to him by Gerrard.

The PCB hopes the task force set up by the ICC would help revive its international cricketing reputation, which has been battered by security fears. Earlier this year, the ICC established the task force to ensure that Pakistan would host international cricket in the future, security conditions permitting. The PCB was initially reluctant to accept the help of the task force when the idea was floated in February, but was now pinning its hopes of recovery on the efforts of the game’s governing body.”Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, will be apprising the task force about the issues being faced in our cricket and hopes that through the efforts of the task force, the best possible solutions can be worked out for Pakistan,” a release from the board said. “The efforts of David Morgan [the ICC president], Giles Clarke [the England and Wales Cricket Board chairman] and the other members are greatly appreciated by the PCB at a time when Pakistan cricket is facing its toughest challenges.”The task force, which will convene in Dubai on Friday and Saturday, is headed by Clarke and includes ICC general manager cricket Dave Richardson, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, former England captain Mike Brearley, and former Sri Lankan captain Ranjan Madugalle among its other members.Several countries have refused to tour Pakistan due to security fears. Cricket in the country was dealt a severe blow when the Sri Lankan team bus was attacked in Lahore in March this year, killing eight people and injuring five visiting players. The 2009 Champions Trophy was moved out of Pakistan to South Africa, while the country lost its share of 2011 World Cup matches later.

West Ham centre-back Issa Diop has given David Moyes one huge selection headache once again after he delivered another colossal display in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

The Irons sealed top spot in Group H and advanced into the knockout stages of the competition with a 2-0 victory over Rapid Wien, meaning they remain unbeaten in Europe across five matches, and the French defender was instrumental in keeping the clean sheet and helping the side on their way to the win.

With Angelo Ogbonna ruled out for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury, Diop did his chances of replacing the Italian veteran in the Premier League no harm whatsoever,

He may well have actually bolstered them substantially heading into this weekend’s major clash with defending champions Manchester City.

‘Did everything asked of him, Strong in the air, read the game well,’ is how football.london reporter Tom Clark in his post-match column and indeed, that was certainly the case as he was the more productive of Moyes’ two centre-backs.

[snack-amp-story url = “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/west-ham-news-transfer-updates-rumours-gossip-david-moyes-gsb-premier-league” title=”Read the latest West Ham news, transfer updates and much, much more!”]

As per SofaScore, Diop registered a match-high five clearances, won 100% of his aerial duels, and also made an interception and block apiece.

It follows up from his performance earlier in the campaign against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, where assistant manager Stuart Pearce dubbed him a “colossus” for his impressive performance, whilst in the past, Jose Mourinho once dubbed him a “monster” for the way in which he contained Paul Pogba.

But the towering 24-year-old, who is currently valued at £13.5m by Transfermarkt, wasn’t just a big physical presence in the heart of defence but he was also adept with the ball at his feet, managing a passing accuracy of 99% from 77 attempts, as well as notching 89 touches of the ball.

After the Hammers’ defeat to Wolves on Saturday, with Craig Dawson getting the nod over Diop, Moyes now has plenty to ponder ahead of Sunday as the Frenchman just delivered a major statement as to why he could be the better option, in the big absence of Ogbonna.

Perhaps it is time to see if the former Toulouse beast can continue such form into the English top-flight. The Scotsman now has a massive call to make seeing as the centre-back continues to deliver each and every time he plays.

Crystal Palace loanee Conor Gallagher has ‘reservations’ over whether he will get a chance at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel next season, Eurosport report.

And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the news on social media.

Gallagher has starred at Selhurst Park after joining on a season-long loan in the summer, winning two of Palace’s first three Player of the Month awards.

The 21-year-old has scored four times and registered two assists in 10 Premier League appearances, leading to speculation of Palace looking to land Gallagher on a permanent basis next summer.

Eurosport shared some transfer news on his situation on Tuesday, suggesting a good season under Patrick Vieira will open the door at Stamford Bridge next season, however, Gallagher is worried the Blues will be tempted to bolster their midfield ranks in the transfer window.

This of course lends hope to the Eagles’ chances of securing a permanent deal, music to the ears of the Selhurst faithful.

England 116 for 2 (Strauss 64*, Bell 26*) trail Australia 263 (Watson 62, Onions 4-58, Anderson 5-80) by 147 runs
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
King of swing: James Anderson picked up the seventh five-wicket haul in Tests•Getty Images

Barring an act of God or Duke, England should enter the home stretch of the Ashes series in the ascendancy. When Andrew Strauss and Ian Bell accepted the umpires’ offer of bad light at 5.45pm, the hosts packed their kitbags content in the knowledge that their dominant day two performance, coupled with the bleak forecast for days three and five of the Test, had made Australia’s task of squaring the series at Edgbaston difficult in the extreme.Much of the credit for England’s position of strength belonged to James Anderson (5 for 80) and Graham Onions (4 for 58), who claimed Australia’s last nine wickets for 137 runs in 40.4 overs on Friday. Their mastery of Birmingham’s conditions reopened old Australian wounds against quality swing bowling, and wrested back the momentum claimed by the tourists the previous evening.Strauss and Bell reinforced England’s advantage in the final session with an unbroken 56-run stand that owed something to fortune. Bell was somehow deemed not out by umpire Rudi Koertzen to a Johnson delivery that replays suggested would have thundered into middle-and-off, and the Warwickshire batsman made the most of his reprieve to advance to stumps unbeaten on 26.His captain, Strauss, experienced no such heart palpitations to finish the day on 64 not out in an innings marked by stoic defence and fluent driving. Strauss was seldom flustered as Alastair Cook and Ravi Bopara fell by the wayside to Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus respectively to further pad his lead atop the series run-scorers’ list.Earlier, Anderson collected his seventh career five-wicket haul and his best return against Australia on a morning that left the raucous Edgbaston faithful in thrall. Ricky Ponting may have usurped Allan Border as Australia’s leading Test run-scorer in the first session, but the morning well and truly belonged to Anderson and Onions, who more than made amends for a wasteful evening session on Thursday.Onions began in the most emphatic manner imaginable, removing Shane Watson and Michael Hussey with the first two deliveries of the second day, while Anderson bookended the first session in a similar fashion with the wickets of Marcus North and Johnson in consecutive deliveries on the stroke of lunch.Anderson’s spells either side of lunch produced figures of 5 for 35, and Onions’ 4 for 37 – an analysis which might well have been enhanced if not for several dropped catches off his bowling – as Australia’s age-old problems against the swinging ball resurfaced. With heavy rain predicted for much of the next three days, England appear the only team capable of forcing a result, short of a major change in weather and Australian fortunes.Onions played a lead role in the only first-class result at Edgbaston this season – taking nine wickets to guide Durham past Warwickshire – and continued his love affair with the ground. Exploiting the heavy overhead conditions to full effect, he bowled unchanged for nine overs, during which he swung the ball extravagantly into both the right- and left-handers and threatened off the seam.He struck with the first ball of the day, beating a lunging Watson for pace to trap him lbw for 62. The dismissal served as an underwhelming exit for Watson, who the previous evening had gone some way to justifying the faith of Australia’s selectors in his first outing as a Test opener with an assured half-century.The tremors intensified for the Australians the next ball when Onions angled a delivery into Hussey, who obliged by hoisting his bat high above his head and watching helplessly as the ball cannoned into the top of off-stump. Hussey has twice been bowled this series without offering a shot – the other to Andrew Flintoff at Lord’s – and now possesses the modest record of 81 runs at 20.25 this series. Many more muddle-headed performances like this, and Australia might well ponder more changes to their XI moving ahead.Onions’ would-be hat-trick ball might have been his most disappointing of the morning – a short, leg-side offering to Michael Clarke – but could not detract from an otherwise fine spell of bowling in which he probed the Australians’ pads and proved a constant menace. The visitors steadied just long enough for Ponting to notch his 11,175th career run to overhaul Border’s long-standing national record, but he could not capitalise on his historic moment, top-edging a hook off Onions to Matt Prior for 38.Clarke appeared the only man capable of sparing Australia’s blushes, and fortune briefly smiled upon him. The vice-captain was blessed to have been ruled not out to an exceptionally close Onions lbw shout on 18, and again when dropped off the same bowler by Flintoff at second slip. Interspersed with these reprieves were some fine periods of batting in the cauldron-like atmosphere, however his hopes of leading a middle-order fightback were dashed when Rudi Koertzen adjudged him leg-before to an Anderson delivery that appeared to be slipping down the leg-side.Thus commenced a superb sequence of swing bowling from Anderson. Finding the aerial movement that eluded him at Cardiff and Lord’s, the Lancastrian crashed through for the wickets of North to a superb, one-handed catch by Prior and Johnson to a dubiously high lbw decision in consecutive deliveries. He rounded out the session by comprehensively bowling Graham Manou, the Australian debutant who had been presented with his baggy green cap prior to play.Australia coaxed a valuable 60 runs from their final two wickets, padding the total to a reasonable 263, but they would not emerge from the second session. Anderson prompted Peter Siddle into a feathered edge to Prior shortly after the lunch break to complete his first five-wicket haul side against the Australians, while Onions returned for the scalp of Hilfenhaus for a career-best 20.

A round-up from the latest matches in the Twenty20 Cup

Cricinfo staff25-Jun-2009North DivisionAndrew Flintoff smashed 93 from 41 balls•Getty Images

Andrew Flintoff stormed back into form with 93 from 41 balls, along with two economical wickets, to help Lancashire wallop Derbyshire at Derby. Lancashire got off to a brisk start with VVS Laxman stroking 63 from 45 balls, but it was the impact of Flintoff which turned the tide. Cracking 9 fours and 6 sixes, he boosted Lancashire to the tournament’s second-highest total of the season. No Derbyshire bowler was spared the punishment, and Nantie Hayward was severely punished, conceding 52 from his four overs. Derbyshire, bottom of the table, made a good fist of the chase, as Chris Rogers and Greg Smith each cracked fifties, but Flintoff picked up 2 for 32 – both victims bowled – as Derbyshire’s pursuit ran out of steam, falling 56 runs short.

Cook cracked exactly 100 from 57 balls, the third-fastest this season, as Essex compiled the third-largest total, 210 for 3, before rolling Surrey for just 126. Cook and Mark Pettini, who made 87 from 53, flayed Surrey in an opening stand worth 169, with Cook carrying his bat. Graham Napier then made two early breakthroughs to leave Surrey tottering on 12 for 2, a position from which they were unable to recover, in spite of 23 from Mark Ramprakash and Usman Afzaal’s 16-ball 30. Napier (2 for 19) was well supported by Danish Kaneria, James Middlebrook and Ryan ten Doeschate, each of whom also took two wickets.

An update has emerged on PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas, regarding Newcastle’s interest in his services.

What’s the talk?

According to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, Newcastle’s new owners, PIF, are lining up a swoop for the PSG goalkeeper.

The report claims Navas is one of the players on the Magpies’ transfer wishlist following PIF’s takeover of the club from Mike Ashley, with Mauro Icardi and Philippe Coutinho also mentioned.

Fans would love it

Newcastle must ensure that they can get a deal over the line for Navas in the January window as he would be a marquee addition to the squad. The fans would love the statement of intent his signing would send, as the shot-stopper is an established, decorated, top-class player in European football.

At the age of 34, Navas would not be a signing for the long-term, but that does not mean he would not have a positive impact on the club’s future. If they can get a player of his reputation through the door then it could persuade others to follow suit and join the project, with the £210k-per-week gem potentially being the trailblazer of the new era in the Magpies’ history.

Earlier this year, PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino lauded Navas’ impact on the team. He said:

“We can say his actions show his quality. He just proves that he’s at the highest level in the world.

“I think we all saw him tonight. There are good and bad times in football. In a match, you have to know how to hold on. We were able to do that, with the help of our great goalkeeper, who made the difference.”

Navas has played over 200 times for Real Madrid and PSG combined during his career, winning an eye-catching three Champions League titles, among other trophies. However, he is currently playing second-fiddle to European Championships Player of the Tournament Gianluigi Donnarumma, which could open the door for Newcastle to swoop in.

Whilst he would arrive at St. James’ Park with a wealth of experience and an aura of respect, the Costa Rica international has still got the quality to make a difference on the pitch despite his age. He has a sensational 50% penalty save rate in Paris, saving four of the eight he has faced between the sticks for the Ligue 1 side, and has kept 41 clean sheets in 88 matches for PSG.

Newcastle supporters would be undeniably pleased with that.

AND in other news, PIF must secure NUFC swoop for £31.5m-rated beast who is “almost impossible to mark”…

Australia’s opening bowler Emma Sampson has shocked the cricket world by retiring at the age of 23. She plans to go travelling for an unspecified amount of time and confirmed it was not related to Australia’s under-par World Cup campaign.Sampson, who has no immediate plans to come back to cricket, said that even though the World Twenty20 was around the corner – with all its promise of increased exposure – and then the Ashes, her heart wasn’t in it at the moment.”I decided to retire because I am going to travel and work overseas for an unknown period of time,” she told Cricinfo as she watched the World Cup final at North Sydney Oval. Asked if she would consider coming back, she said: “I’m not going to say yes or no because I’m not really sure. I’d been thinking about it for a little while. Obviously I was hoping to finish this tour on a pretty big high. But that’s okay, I still had a good time on tour.”Looking relaxed and content with her decision, she added: “I don’t want to go on playing just because I don’t think my heart will be in it just as much as the rest of the girls. So the best thing for me and the team was to retire now.”Sampson has played in the Ashes and against all of the top women’s sides and has no regrets about calling time on her career which included 30 ODIs, a Test and five Twenty20s. Her best analysis was 5 for 30 against New Zealand in 2008.Leonie Coleman had also retired, although her action is less surprising, given that she is 30. Coleman has had few chances this World Cup, with Jodie Fields preferred as the wicketkeeper. Coleman played 24 ODIs with 23 victims.”It’s always a surprise I think,” Sampson said of Coleman’s decision. “She’s had a good career.”
