‘Didn't see City's COLLAPSE coming’ 😳 Doku worldies keep Man City title hopes alive | ESPN FC

0:00 All right, enough Champions League.

0:01 How about some quick hits instead?

0:02 Let's go, guys.

0:03 Big developments in the Premier League title race.

0:05 Manchester City go a goal up, then 3-1 down in a second half horse show,

0:10 and then they snatch an equalizer at the buzzer via Jeremy Douku.

0:14 Jules, the edge has decidedly shifted to North London.

0:17 Yeah, it has because it was really in the ends of of City before.

0:21 If they scored more if they won all their games and Arsenal did too,

0:24 if they scored more goals, they would win uh and go difference.

0:28 That's not the case anymore.

0:29 Now they need Arsenal to at some point

0:31 at some point drop points against either West Ham, Burnley or Crystal Palace.

0:35 But if Arsenal go and win all three of those games,

0:38 then City won't win the title.

0:39 So I didn't see this one coming.

0:41 I didn't see that collapse coming in the second

0:43 half and them considering those three goals,

0:44 really cheap goals to concede, mistakes everywhere.

0:47 Gee, Kusanov, um, all of them like Nunes, O'Reilly, all of them.

0:55 I I like I didn't see that coming at all.

0:57 Donaruma.

0:59 It's just it was just incredible to watch.

1:01 If you're Were you surprised by Pep's reaction afterwards when you

1:04 just talked about how good they played in the first half?

1:07 And I kind of want to be like, "Yeah,

1:08 you played really well in the first half and you

1:10 scored you scored one goal in the first half." Yeah.

1:12 And it was a worldly as well.

1:14 And it was and and it it was like two worldies from Jeremy.

1:18 Yeah.

1:18 No, I was agree.

1:19 Yeah, I agree with you.

1:20 And um I wonder too the the Premier League could hinge on that second DKU worldy

1:27 because Yeah.

1:28 Yeah.

1:28 these margins are so fine.

1:30 I mean and the other interesting aspect

1:33 too is you mentioned the goal difference, right?

1:34 So

1:35 Arsenal still plus four.

1:38 Yeah.

1:37 City have a game in hand.

1:38 They can go and pump somebody six or seven nil.

1:41 It's possible, right?

1:43 And then that kind of wipes it out and then

1:46 but then Arsenal still it kind of wipes out.

1:48 it would wipe out potentially Arsenal's kind of little cushion of being

1:53 able to draw a game between now and the end of the season.

1:55 So I think for Arteta the math doesn't change.

1:58 We have to win all games.

1:59 And sticking with City Gap,

2:01 Phil Foden's contract has been extended through 2030.

2:04 What does this tell you?

2:06 It tells me that Pep Guardiola will not be the city manager in 2030 and probably

2:11 possibly there's been rumors all season not next year.

2:14 Um

2:15 as a club you've made a decision.

2:17 I'm sure it was Ugiana's decision.

2:19 Come what?

2:19 May, we cannot wait on Pep.

2:21 This guy's an asset, this guy stays.

2:24 And whether it's Pep or somebody else,

2:26 we're going to expect them to rebuild Phil Foden

2:28 into the force that we know he can be.

2:31 Mr.

2:31 Marinakis and Nottingham Forest are one small step away from the Europa

2:35 League final as we record this on a Thursday morning.

2:36 And that means that they're two small

2:37 steps away from the Champions League next season.

2:41 So much for all the Mr.

2:42 Marinakis haters out there.

2:43 Wash your mouth out with soap.

2:45 And on Monday, they all but stayed up

2:48 by coming into Stamford Bridge and destroying Chelsea 3-1.

2:51 Yeah, I mean we can talk about

2:52 Chelsea more than Forest here really because there's of course Mr.

2:55 Marinis doesn't get the credit he deserves but Vito

2:57 Peller deserves a lot of credit is exceptional.

3:00 Yeah, with a mixed team shown it before.

3:02 Yeah, with a mixed team uh finally Marinaki getting the right manager in.

3:06 I mean he had so many tries that at some point it was going to work.

3:09 Uh well done to them.

3:11 But what about Chelsea man?

3:13 How bad is this?

3:15 Like this was one of the worst I've seen

3:17 in a very long time for a home team of this kind.

3:20 Like Kell McFarland paying to the doing like oh look I have no clue.

3:23 So I know I'll put the kid from the youth team because he's going

3:26 to get all the support and then this poor the poor dairy guy Jesse Derry gets

3:30 who's very good by the way and whatever right great future but it's so cravenly

3:36 no ideas.

3:37 Yeah.

3:38 Yeah vibe is terrible.

3:40 It's terrible season.

3:41 I mean, they can maybe turn it around,

3:43 turn the vibe around by beating city in the FA Cup final.

3:47 Winning the Final They need to think about they need to think that stuff.

3:50 Yeah, no question.

3:51 Oh, a nice goal by Joe Pedro, too.

3:52 Yeah, lovely goal.

3:53 That's right.

3:54 Manchester City have won the women's super

3:56 league here in England Jewels on the sofa

3:58 as it was uh as they saw um watch Arsenal draw with Brighton.

4:02 Not really surprised despite all those games in hand for Renee Sleggers.

4:06 And City could win the double too.

4:07 Yeah, they can.

4:08 They in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

4:09 first title in 10 years.

4:11 They have been the even if the end there was a bit tricky.

4:14 They lost at Brighton for example who are building up

4:17 a really nice team as well as a new stadium for them.

4:19 Um but they deserved it.

4:21 They have the best what the best team right now.

4:23 The one that starts they have been the best team all season long.

4:27 Well done to them.

4:29 you know, Champions League is coming again,

4:31 which they need to and it's a disappointment, I guess,

4:34 for Arsenal and Chelsea not to have been

4:36 able to stay compete with them until the end.

4:39 It's official now, Gabby.

4:41 Jakob Kuio, one one half of Franchesco Faroli's Polish power title winning

4:45 center back pairing with Yamarak will be sticking around Aporto next season.

4:50 They're making his move from Arsenal permanent

4:52 for 17 million euros, rising to 22.

4:55 That's a good deal for Arsenal.

4:56 I think it's a very good deal for Arsenal.

4:58 I think the other one to watch now is

5:00 uh Fabio Vieiraa who's had a good season at Hamburg.

5:03 Hamburg staying up

5:04 Hamburg saying I don't know apparently there was

5:06 a 20 million euro option to make the deal permanent.

5:09 Um Hamburg I think rightly options are options right that's all they need.

5:14 Um Hamburg saying no no no we'll we'll give you 12

5:16 million right so at some point Arsenal can think all right

5:20 because this isn't the NFL or the NBA the players get a say right?

5:24 So, what Arsenal need to weigh up is okay,

5:27 we need or Andre, your boy Andrea Berta needs to figure out,

5:30 all right, can we put is there somewhere else where we can get

5:34 more money than this that Fabio Vieiraa will accept and be happy with?

5:39 Yeah.

5:39 Knowing that Fabio Vieiraa is not a guy who's gotten

5:41 a ton of playing time at different clubs over the years.

5:44 Um, is he settled?

5:46 Can he can he then do the deal?

5:47 So, it's really complex.

5:48 You can't just go and Yeah.

5:49 Yeah.

5:50 But um I think the good thing is uh

5:53 9 million residual amortization on the on the KVR deal.

5:57 So that is a positive movement in the balance sheet of more than 10 million.

6:02 And um you know I think Arsenal need to get

6:04 at least 14 to net out on Fabio Vieiraa.

6:09 Yeah.

6:08 Um and you know that

6:11 gets you little a little a little bit forward on the way to Hinapier.

6:15 Obviously, Ash are going to make a ton

6:16 of money from the reaching the Champions League final,

6:18 maybe from winning it.

6:20 Um, but they did spend a ton of money this year and their wage bill will go up.

6:25 So, I think there's certain players that already we

6:28 think Arsenal are going to have to move on.

6:30 So, I think I think this really helps.

6:33 Yeah.

6:32 The Times reporting that Junior Koopy,

6:34 who could break the record of Premier League goals by a teenager,

6:37 jointly held by Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler, um,

6:41 and not Michael Owen, which kind of surprised me.

6:43 Yeah.

6:43 Um, I guess he cuz he scored 18 goals in his first full season,

6:47 but I guess he must have just turned that year.

6:50 I don't know.

6:50 Whatever.

6:50 Doesn't matter.

6:51 Sorry, Michael.

6:51 Great goal scorer.

6:53 Anyway, he's being tracked by Barcelona, Chelsea, and Arsenal.

6:56 Funny enough, it's exactly what I would say if I were born this.

6:59 Exactly.

6:58 I want your thoughts on this.

7:00 And to be clear, while he is French?

7:03 Yes, he is.

7:03 He's neither Paris born nor Paris bred.

7:06 There's no clear evidence that he's ever been to Paris.

7:08 No, I think he's been to Paris.

7:10 But yeah, you're right.

7:10 He's not one of ours.

7:11 It's okay.

7:12 we can, you know, sometimes give a bit more talent to the rest of the country.

7:15 It's all good.

7:16 What an incredible first season.

7:17 I don't think he um saw it coming.

7:22 Really, I certainly didn't see it coming.

7:24 I thought he would do well and Bulma was

7:26 the perfect club for him coming from that parent

7:27 club in France Lauron where he was the star

7:29 of the French division last year 18 17 and 18.

7:33 But still the step up is big to the Premier

7:35 League and yeah he's he's gone better and bigger and stronger

7:39 than anything I could have thought of and the same

7:41 for him and I think the same at the club too.

7:43 I think it's far too early to leave Bournemouth.

7:45 He doesn't need to.

7:46 Those clubs will still be there in a year time but Raola won't

7:50 true but then then you know Marco Ros

7:52 could be very good for for Ellie's development.

7:55 So I I think unless Bulma say listen you know we

8:00 bought you for 35 and that was cheap because he was

8:03 la selling to the parent club uh and we can't turn

8:06 down 70 and making twice the money that we made on you.

8:09 Sorry but you have to go if if the choice is

8:12 in his hands then I think he should say you know

8:15 what let keep keep me here for another season in the Premier

8:18 League where I can start every game through the season.

8:20 Whereas this year he he didn't really start the first half of the season.

8:23 Well, I was going to say what's really impressed me,

8:26 it's either impressive about him or about is I I've seen Bormis play

8:34 live maybe three times this year and at the start of the season

8:38 he wasn't playing and he gets into the first team and and every

8:42 time I've watched him I was so impressed with with their organization,

8:46 their pressing movements and I thought this and then

8:49 he gets into the first team I thought all right

8:50 this guy I can tell he's come on as a sub

8:52 a few times He's a technically gifted player,

8:55 but he's going to screw everything up because so

8:58 much of the press is based on coordination and movement.

9:02 And he took to it like a duck to water.

9:06 Yeah.

9:05 Um and this tells me that either he's super super smart tactically as well,

9:10 which you don't always associate with such a young player,

9:13 or Iola is a simple simply the greatest teacher in the world.

9:16 Oh, the structure works better and you can put a lot

9:18 of good players in that structure and it still works,

9:21 you know, maybe as well or a bit of everything, you know.

9:23 But for for for I think that part really impressed me.

9:26 His dad was a really good player.

9:28 We said that before, I think, on the show.

9:30 He's a Vorian.

9:30 No.

9:31 Yeah.

9:31 Uh and was a really good league league player.

9:35 The the football IQ that he transmitted to his son is clearly off the charts.

9:40 So, I'm not surprised either by all that success.

9:44 Heat.

9:45 Heat.
