وقال داير، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “مورينيو لم يكن سعيدًا، ولكن لم يكن هناك شيء يمكنني القيام به حيال ذلك، كان نداء الطبيعة ينادي”.

وأضاف: “سمعت أن هناك فرصة عندما كنت خارج الملعب لكن لحسن الحظ لم يسجلوا”.

وعن المباراة، “أنا سعيد للغاية، أنا فخور بالطريقة التي لعبنا بها بعيدًا عن الدقائق الـ15 الأولى، أظهرنا لهم الكثير من الاحترام لكننا بعد ذلك كنا رائعين”.

وتابع: “بعد اللعب يوم الأحد لم يكن الأمر سهلًا، ربما كان هذا هو السبب في أنني اضطررت إلى الهروب لكننا نجحنا في ذلك!، بذل جميع الموظفين واللاعبين الجهد”.

Aston Villa continued their fine run of form this weekend as another 3-0 win saw them move into sixth in the Championship table.

Dean Smith’s men are really beginning to motor at the most important point in the season, and there is every chance now they could well become the team to watch as we enter the most crucial part of the season.

Villa are looking like they are going to be that team that appear from the shadows and snatch a play-off spot, and we here in the Tavern think that they are going to be the ones who ultimately end up winning out come the end of the campaign.

The club’s attacking options for one are right up there with the best in the Championship, and in Tammy Abraham they have arguably the finest striker in the division when he is on song.

Add to that that Dean Smith appears to have finally stemmed the flow of leaked goals with the additions of Kortney Hause and Tyrone Mings, and Villa begin to look quite the threat.

The return of Jack Grealish too is a massive boost for the club, with the young midfielder proving in recent weeks just why he is classed as one of the finest talents outside of hre Premier League at the moment.

For all their disappointments this year and another change in manager, the season could well end on a hugely positive note for the Villans.

Crystal Palace fans have taken to Twitter to discuss just how big a miss Mamadou Sakho was as they watched their side slip to a 3-1 defeat to Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

The Eagles were embarking on just their first Premier League fixture of the season without the imperious France international, who, alongside James Tomkins, had been a key component of what is statistically the fifth best defence in the top-flight this term.

Sakho looks set to miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury against Leicester, and his absence was evident for all to see as his replacement, Martin Kelly, failed to replicate the 29-year-old’s huge impact.

The former Paris Saint-Germain captain is the only left footed centre-back at the club, providing irreplaceable balance to the defence, which the Red Devils took full advantage of as they scored three goals that all could’ve been avoided from the Eagles’ perspective.

Let’s take a look at what the Palace fans on Twitter are saying about Sakho’s absence…

[ad_pod ]Many Leeds United fans have paid tribute to, and shared their memories of, Bill Fotherby, who was the Elland Road club’s managing director in the late 70s, 80s and 90s.Fotherby passed away in Tenerife on Tuesday night, at the age of 88. He is well-remembered by the Whites for the instrumental role he played in bringing success and silverware to the club in the early 90s.Fotherby joined the board of the Yorkshire club in 1978 and eventually became chairman Leslie Silver’s partner in crime. He went on to revolutionise the way the club was run.

In 1988, following the sacking of Billy Bremner, Fotherby convinced Howard Wilkinson to leave Hillsborough and take up the hot seat at Elland Road. With the support of Silver and Fotherby, Wilkinson was able to get Leeds promoted into the top tier in 1990.

The crowning glory came in 1992, when the manager’s side won the top flight title – he remains the last English manager to achieve the feat, which was only made possible by Fotherby.

His influence cannot be overstated, and he has earned the mantle of legend at Leeds. Following his passing, many supporters have taken to Twitter to pay their respects…

Grady Diangana has made the most of his chance in the West Ham United first-team thus far this season.

The 20-year-old made his breakthrough at the beginning of the campaign, playing a single minute against Manchester United in the 3-1 win at the London Stadium.

Just two games later, Diangana played 50 minutes in the pressure cooker of a London derby against Tottenham Hotspur and has since played twice against Manchester City, and provided an assist versus Burnley.

His appearances have been sporadic and he has yet to play 90 minutes for the Irons in the Premier League.

Diangana did finish the game against Birmingham City in the FA Cup, however, as the club won 2-0, and also scored twice in the EFL Cup win over Macclesfield Town, before again finishing the game against Spurs in the same competition, this time in a 3-1 defeat.

This is the correct way to bed in young talent.

Diangana is a pacy, skilful winger and has the ability to be a star for the club, but he is not having the world loaded onto his shoulders.

Instead, he is being slowly blooded by manager Manuel Pellegrini, who clearly knows that he has a genuinely talented young player on his books.

Diangana has been capped by England at Under-20 level and is primed to become another superbly exciting academy graduate in east London, following in the footsteps of Declan Rice by becoming a first-team regular.

Pellegrini is treading softly, but the youngster’s boundless potential will surely be impossible to ignore for much longer.

Southampton’s woes continued as two defensive lapses cost them in their 2-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, and big changes are needed when Saints host fellow relegation battlers Fulham at St Mary’s on Wednesday night.

On the chalkboard

Ralph Hasenhuttl chose to stick with the five-at-the-back system for the trip to north London, but within 17 minutes the visitors had a mountain to climb as they found themselves 2-0 behind, with a misunderstanding between Jack Stephens and goalkeeper Angus Gunn leading to the second.

The result left the south coast outfit in 18th position and one point from safety, and realistically they will know that they need to beat the struggling Cottagers in midweek – especially with fixtures against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to follow.

With Danny Ings already out and Michael Obafemi seemingly suffering another hamstring issue on his comeback against the Gunners, Hasenhuttl doesn’t exactly have a plethora of attacking options ahead of the crucial clash.

What needs to happen?

Firstly, the Austrian manager needs to stick with what he did at the start of the second-half at the Emirates, by ditching Stephens and playing with a back four.

Southampton don’t need to play five in defence against a team they need to take the game to from the very first minute on Wednesday, and in truth the Saints boss should go with the his preferred 4-2-2-2 formation he has used at previous clubs.

One man who should be included in the starting line-up from the start is Josh Sims, even if he has only been named in the 18-man squad in the Premier League on two occasions this term following a less than successful loan spell with Reading.

With the 21-year-old scoring twice and assisting two more for the U23s in their 6-2 Premier League Cup win against Notts County on Friday, he deserves a chance to put a leaky Fulham defence under pressure from kick-off.

That would allow Nathan Redmond and Sims to play in the advanced positions out wide, with Shane Long, Charlie Austin and Sam Gallagher fighting it out for the two centre-forward spots.

[ad_pod ]Sheffield Wednesday are set to take on Blackburn Rovers at Hillsborough on Saturday. Victory would see the Owls maintain their charge for a play-off place and would preserve Steve Bruce’s unbeaten record as the club’s manager.ÂWednesday may be set for a boost in the form of Sam Winnall’s condition too, with Bruce confirming that the striker’s return to full fitness is imminent.Who would make a combined Sheffield XI? Ingood Nick makes his picks in the video below…

What he said

Speaking in his recent press conference, as quoted by the Owls’ official Twitter account, Bruce said: “Sam Winnall is certainly in the reckoning. He’s a very good striker at this level, touch wood he is over his injury and he can have a run in the team.”

Ready to have an impact

The 28-year-old forward has been out of action for much of the last two seasons, but has featured occasionally from the bench for the Owls in recent weeks. However, Bruce’s words indicate that the No. 11 could finally be ready for a return to the starting XI.

That would give Wednesday a welcome boost in the final third. If the club are serious about vying for the play-offs, and promotion, this season, then they will need all of the firepower they can get.

At his best, Winnall could be a very useful player, and if he can hit the ground running once fully fit then he could have a very positive impact at Hillsborough before the end of the campaign.
