I think for Jonathan that was the remit. But the League One signings didn't quite work, the performances had been up and down. Drury added: "The squad is just not as strong as it was this time last year. What they wanted to do was find younger, cheaper promising players from League One, bring them on and possibly sell them on, but it hasn't worked. While there have been positives - with Drury pointing to home-grown left-back Hayden Coulson as one who has acclimatised well to first-team life - results have been Woodgate's downfall.
Along with Milwaukee Bucks, they are the only side not to have lost at least ten matches this season. They have a 35-9 season record and travel to the Brooklyn Nets who are struggling this season. The Lakers are ranked number one in the Western Conference and have won four more games than any other conference side.
Sheffield United are proving a lot of people wrong this season and they could definitely qualify for Europe. They are already on 40 points and with 11 matches left, United could even make the Champions League - especially with the European ban hanging over Manchester City. Phillips has been impressing at Elland Road for a number of seasons now but if Leeds somehow manage to miss out on promotion again, it would make sense for the Englishman to finally step up to the Premier League.
Video - Euro Papers: Bruno Fernandes 'goes on strike to force United move' - but will it work?01:14 The match will be Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui's first game back at the Santiago Bernabeu since he was sacked by Real in October 2018. Zidane praised Ramos for his determination to get back to full fitness.
The pair first got in touch with BBC Sport while attending the goalless fourth-round draw between Newcastle United and Oxford United at St James' Park. But Newcastle's 3-2 win over West Bromwich Albion in the fifth round last month was to be their last. It became clear we weren't going to be able to complete it," said Alex. I'm a Liverpool fan so it's a double-whammy for me in terms of missing out on things!" Alex told BBC Sport.

They seem to be motivated, they are in a perilous position and understand that, they've to fight for the shirt and that's what I'm doing," he said. They should have been doing it all season, I've managed to galvanise them and pushed them on. Everton defender Michael Keane told BBC Match of the Day: "He has brought the basics back. We know our shape really well, we are working hard for each other, getting stuck in and the last few games it has worked.
in this game I think we could see some goals scored from both sides because Lyon is going to be on the pressure,they are winless for 4 straight games and they need to find the way to broke that streak and win this game tonight but it is not going to be easy at all first because Metz is very tough team to beat and also Lyon defense is definitely not good, so I expect from both to score a goal and also one more goal on top of that, so I surely recommend this bet to the anyone for the tonight

Few of the signings lived up to their billing. But it was a free transfer that caused Pellegrini the biggest problem. Club sources said the decision to sign Roberto as back-up to Fabianski was solely down to Pellegrini and his trusted ally Mario Husillos, who was appointed on a three-year deal around the same time as the Chilean. As it turned out, Roberto - a 33-year-old former Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Espanyol goalkeeper - was terrible.
However, the potential total fee of £20 million is significantly less than the £30 million Chelsea will demand. Emerson is said to be "happy in London" and "reluctant to leave the Premier League in January". Paper Round's view: It is very unlikely that Chelsea would sell both their left-back options in January, even if they were to bring in a new defender in the winter window.
Barclays also sponsor the FA Women's Super League and FA Girls' Football School Partnerships. Norway's other prospect. Erling Braut Haaland’s tally of 26 goals in 18 games for Red Bull Salzburg this season has seen the striker linked with Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. But the 19-year-old is not the only Norwegian making headlines, with a midfielder back home attracting interest from clubs across Europe.
The 81,000-seater stadium can now be used as Germany battles the coronavirus pandemic. Borussia Dortmund stand in second place in the Bundesliga, which has been postponed to combat the spread of the virus. Paper Round’s view: Bundesliga was initially keen to play one more round of football before the league was suspended but thankfully they bowed to player pressure.
In the knockout stages, it's so important because these kind of details make the difference most of the time. We have to reflect on it. I have to make the decision [on] the guy who will take the penalty. When pressed, the 49-year-old confirmed he had somebody in mind, before joking that goalkeeper Ederson may be next in line. Ederson is the best!" Guardiola laughed. Believe me, he's the best taker we have in penalties.
Talleres Cordoba will play against Boca Juniors, match of the Primera Division of Argentine football. Boca Juniors are the favorite here despite being the guests. They are coming from a home game against Independiente where they drew. Meanwhile the hosts are returning from a 4-1 away defeat against Defensa y Justicia. Boca have the best technical quality here but Talleres play much better at home than away. In their last 10 home matches, Talleres have lost only 1 game and in their last 10 away matches, Boca have not won in 5 of them.
Shearer: "This was one where I certainly lost it after the game in the dressing room. Two team-mates fighting, incredible. There were little bits of aggression shown in training in the lead up to the game between those two. There were some choice words said and they were fighting for the same place in the team a lot of the time. It was one of those days where we got battered by Aston Villa, we were already down to 10 men.

Frustrated Messi the difference On the balance of play, Real Sociedad were good value for at least a point, with Messi only presented with the chance to score through a dubious VAR penalty award. Before that he’d toiled, showing uncharacteristic anxiety on the ball. Perhaps the greatest illustration of Messi’s building frustration came in the yellow card he was shown for a late tackle on Mikel Merino; the first time he has been booked in three consecutive games for Barca.

If you can't celebrate, the whole thing breaks down' - What did the managers think?After a goalless draw with Paderborn, Fortuna Dusseldorf manager Uwe Rosler said: "The day was a bit odd. I am an emotional man, I like to take a player in my arms, which I obviously couldn't do today. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre, said: "There is no noise. You shoot at the goal, you make a great pass, you score, and nothing happens.
I believe we will defeat this virus and I can't wait to be back playing matches. Wu is the first player from China to have contracted COVID-19, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan late last year. The start of the Chinese Super League season has been delayed indefinitely and China’s World Cup qualifying matches in March and June were postponed until October and November.
Lille will be the better rested of the two having not played a game since the 21st of December and Amiens will have to shuffle their pack again in order to freshen things up. The home side definitely upped the gears before Christmas and I think they will hit the ground running here and I’m going to tip a Lillie win with a –1 handicap.
LONDON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho is excited about his latest young signings as he seeks to rebuild last season's Champions League finalists following a slump this term that has left them struggling for a top-four spot in the Premier League. The Spurs boss, criticised in the past for relying too much on experienced players, appears keen to develop a young squad, having recruited Dutchman Steven Bergwijn, 21, and Portuguese loan signing Gedson Fernandes, 19, in the January window.
Sampdoria vs Bologna predictions for Serie A match Saturday night. Both Sampdoria and Bologna must bounce back from defeat when they meet this weekend. The time is near for Sampdoria to stay away from the relegation zone. They have had two difficult matches since the restart, with a 2-1 defeat away this month leaving them back only only one point from the drop zone. Returning home was an encouragement to Samp, who had to end their inconsistent records here. Both have very diverse records with each other, leaving this one in balance. The score prediction for this match is over 3 goals in the last minute running time of this match.
The teams come into this in fairly similar form and average an almost equal amount of goals, with the Hibees seeing over 1.5 goals in 83% of their home games and in 100% of Motherwell away trips. The capital club has also drawn 4 of their 6 games at Easter Road and is yet to win there since the opening game of the league- as well as the fact they've drawn 5 of their last 6 games. However, we believe that Jack Ross will give the hosts an extra boost to avoid defeat but not so much to win. We're going to back both teams to score for this match as it has happened to Motherwell in 50% of their away days. We're also going for a final score of 1-1, a result which Hibs have seen in 3 of their last 6 fixtures.

On a famous night for Wolves and a dramatic one that saw Guardiola's side throw away the chance for the Spaniard to become the fastest manager in Premier League history to clock up 100 wins, it's a shame much of the post-game discussion will centre upon the pros and cons of VAR. The review of the Dendoncker-Mahrez penalty incident took an age, while the order of a re-take for encroachment has led to much social media debate.
This is how they have built the squad and paid the players who beat Villa by one goal. Video - 'You didn't learn' - Guardiola riposte to reporter over City tactics00:59 Frankly, it stinks. How anyone is supposed to stomach this is beyond The Warm-Up, especially with City likely facing a punishment by the English authorities too.
For that reason, we’re using the Asian Handicap line to try and find the value backing Western Sydney Wanderers +0.5 goals. Their quality in attack should keep them from losing this game and we’re confident that the 0.5 line should give the visitors side a big chance of winning on the handicap. Newcastle have been struggling and whilst we can’t see them picking up the win here, they’ve got enough quality across their side to definitively say they will lose and the handicap gives us sufficient protection.
But he is not after a career, he just wants to see if he can get his approach, so familiar to the club, to work. But it isn't in the passing aspect of the game where he could potentially be let down but rather in the work rate of the players without the ball, which is precisely where Valverde was hung out to dry by some of his team. This side has the look and feel of the dressing room at the end of the Frank Rijkaard era, when I remember the likes of Xavi and Andres Iniesta telling me they were losing their love for the game.
Istanbul Basaksehir haven't a great deal of European experience but did well to get past Sporting Lisbon in the last round. They will be hoping to get a good lead from this game as they aren't that great on their European travels. Copenhagen caused a surprise when knocking Celtic out, especially after only drawing the home first leg. They regularly score on their travels and the tip here is for both teams to score.
We're helping out in the community, which is brilliant," said Keane, who has spoken on the phone to a 78-year-old Everton supporter called Rod. It was great to hear the happiness in the voice when I gave him a call. He said it made his day, and it made mine as well. All the lads have got on board. There will be a lot of fans who are lonely and maybe vulnerable, and this gives them the boost they need to get through this.
He was joined by his family, including his parents, Calum and Cathy, who had travelled from the Isle of Lewis to be with their son on his big day. But here he was looking at his house with the windows blown out, some of the roof missing, and water pouring in after a tornado tore through Nashville. Tornadoes kill 24 and flatten buildings"I woke up about 11:30pm and the weather had really taken a turn for the worse," explains Mackay, who had spent an evening at the hockey with his parents with his wife out of town.
The hosts come into this game with a mixed record at home, as they’ve won five and lost six of their 13 matches in front of their own fans in the Championship. However, Birmingham’s record has taken a bit of a thumping in recent weeks, as they’ve lost four league games on the spin at their own ground. Despite that, this could be a chance for them to turn things around.

The Bosnian, 26, came off after 40 minutes at the Emirates. Arsenal say the defender is "aiming to return to full training in January.

It's fantastic - something he has always wanted to do. It dawns on the reporter that the lady being interviewed is in fact the mother of Villa boss Dean Smith. His dad would be so proud. He's got dementia and he's in a home and doesn't know him," continues Hilary. Have you got a message for Villa fans? "Thank you for supporting my son. You're absolutely brilliant. God bless you all. Hope we get there [to the Premier League].
