Newcastle sensation showed why he's an even bigger talent than Lewis Miley

Newcastle United’s wait for a first away win of the season is now over.

On Saturday night, the Magpies demolished Everton 4-1 on Merseyside, enjoying their first-ever visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Malick Thiaw broke the deadlock inside 60 seconds, with Lewis Miley lashing home a second and then Nick Woltemade making it three in first half stoppage time, before Thiaw bagged his second shortly after the interval, rubber stamping victory.

Before this, Eddie Howe’s side had failed to win any of their six Premier League away games this season, losing each of their last three on the road, their most recent away league victory coming at a hopeless Leicester in April.

Now, ahead of back-to-back home games this week against Tottenham and Burnley, which Newcastle player put in an excellent performance at Bramley-Moore Dock, suggesting he may be the club’s best young talent?

Can Lewis Miley break into Newcastle's midfield?

For so long, the backbone of Newcastle’s rise, twice qualifying for the Champions League and winning last season’s EFL Cup, has been their midfield trio of Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton.

However, attempting to balance both domestic and continental commitments, Howe has started to rotate his team a bit more, ahead of a jam-packed December featuring eight fixtures, so could Lewis Miley force his way into the starting lineup on a more regular basis?

Still a teenager, Miley started in the Premier League for just the second time this season on Saturday evening, scoring his first goal since netting during a 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest in February.

Dominic Scurr of the Shields Gazette awarded him a 9/10 for his performance against Everton, stating that it was ‘so good to see him shining’ having been handed a rare start, getting the nod over Tonali.

For a long time now, Miley has been viewed as the brightest young talent in this Newcastle squad, becoming the second-youngest player in the club’s Premier League history to both score and record an assist in a single match, behind only Charles N’Zogbia.

Meantime, almost two years ago, Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout asserted that he is a “special talent”, labelling him “technical, elegant, composed, and hardworking” who is an “absolute unicorn in midfield”, emphasising that he’s been in the spotlight for quite a while.

However, did another player come to the fore at Hill Dickinson Stadium and underline that he is Newcastle’s brightest young thing?

Newcastle's bigger talent than Lewis Miley

Given their side’s inconsistent form, the Geordie faithful have been calling for Howe to tinker with his lineup, and they may be getting their wish.

Aaron Ramsdale displaced Nick Pope this weekend, while full-back is the other positions supporters have wanted to see a change, with Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall both starting too, and the latter certainly caught the eye.

The 21-year-old has now started back-to-back Premier League games, having been included in the lineup only twice this season in any competition beforehand, and underlined why supporters have been eager to see more of him, as the table documents.

As the table notes, Hall ranked first in a wide variety of statistics on Merseyside on Saturday evening.

He registered an assist, created two big chances and completed 91% of his 55 passes, while also winning five ground duels and 100% of his tackles.

For the majority of this season, Dan Burn has been the first-choice left-back, but the 6 ft 7 in hometown hero has been massively exposed in recent weeks.

This was particularly the case when he met Dango Ouattara of Brentford earlier this month, conceding a penalty and being sent off for fouling the Burkinabé winger during a 3-1 defeat in West London.

Thus, against both Man City and now Everton, Hall has proved he has to be Howe’s first-choice going forward, while the same may not yet be the case for his namesake in midfield.

O clube autorizou um intermediário a abrir conversas com Felipão, mas, até o momento, o estafe do treinador não foi procurado. As informações foram divulgadas pelo site “Goal.com”.

O Libertad está disposto a oferecer um salário de aproximadamente 200 mil dólares (cerca de R$ 1 milhão) por mês ao comandante, que é visto como plano A da diretoria da equipe. Caso o negócio não se concretize, Gabriel Heinze, livre no mercado após deixar o Newell’s Old Boys aparece como uma opção secundária.

فليك يوضح حديثه مع رافينها وموقف بيدري من مباراة برشلونة وأتلتيكو مدريد

أدلى الألماني هانز فليك، مدرب فريق برشلونة، بتصريحات عقب الفوز على ديبورتيفو ألافيس في الدوري الإسباني، مساء اليوم السبت.

وقلب برشلونة الطاولة على ألافيس، وحوّل تأخره إلى فوز بثلاثة أهداف لهدف، ليتصدر الترتيب برصيد 34 نقطة، لحين نهاية مباريات الجولة.

وقال فليك مُشيدًا بلاعبه البرازيلي رافينها: “رافينها لاعبٌ يُشكّل جزءًا لا يتجزأ من فريقنا، وهو مهمٌّ جدًا بالنسبة لي، يُبدي حماسًا كبيرًا ويضغط بقوة، هذا يُحفّز بقية الفريق على الضغط أيضًا، عليه أن يتحسن في المباريات القادمة، لكن عودته رائعة، فهذا يُحسّن أدائنا في المباريات القادمة، لكن الأهم هو النقاط الثلاث”.

وعن الأمر الذي تحدث عنه مع رافينها في نهاية المباراة، أجاب في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ماركا”، و”آس” الإسبانية: “في الأساس، علينا أن نتحسن، وسوف نتحسن في المباريات القادمة”.

وأضاف: “جيرارد مارتن يُقدم كل ما لديه، وهو واثق من نفسه في هذا المركز كقلب دفاع، من الجيد دائمًا وجود بديل مثله، وهذا يُطمئنني”.

وأردف: “أتيحت لنا العديد من فرص التسجيل في الشوط الأول، وفي الثاني أيضًا، أنا سعيد بالنقاط الثلاث، رغم أن أمامنا الكثير لتحسينه؛ فقد مررنا اليوم بفترات صعود وهبوط، علينا العمل على ذلك”.

وبشأن عودة رافينها وبيدري، أفاد: “أنا سعيد جدًا بعودتهما، لم يكن من السهل إدارة وقت لعبهما، رافينها لعب 60 دقيقة فقط، وبيدري 30 دقيقة… أنا سعيد بالنقاط الثلاث، ولكن ليس ببعض المواقف: فقدنا الكرة كثيرًا، أدرنا المباراة بشكل جيد”.

وبشأن مدى جاهزية بيدري للمباراة المقبلة أمام أتلتيكو مدريد، أوضح: “سنرى، سنرى كيف سيكون غدًا خلال فترة تعافيه، لم يتبقَّ لنا الكثير من الأيام، لكن بيدري بخير، لقد سألته، ورافينها أيضًا، أظهر ديناميكيته وحماسه، أنا سعيد أيضًا بأولمو، لم يكن الأمر سهلاً عليه في الأسابيع القليلة الماضية، وقد سجل هدفين”.

وعن لاعبه إريك جارسيا، واستبداله استطرد: “كان يتألم من الضربة، إنه بخير، لكننا قررنا منحه راحة، لم يكن من الممكن أن يلعب وهو يعاني من هذا الألم”.

وعن مارك بيرنال علّق: “أعتقد أن خطوة اليوم كانت إيجابية جدًا له، حيث لعب 45 دقيقة، إنها خطوة أولى، وتمنحه الثقة، نحن بحاجة إلى جميع اللاعبين، تقدمه إيجابي للغاية، أنا سعيد من أجله”.

وأتم بشأن حارس مرماه خوان جارسيا واستدعائه للمنتخب: “ليس قراري إذا كان سيذهب إلى المنتخب أم لا، ليس من السهل دائمًا استدعاء لاعب جديد، لكنه واحد من اللاعبين الذين يُعوَّل عليهم للمستقبل، لكن القرار ليس بيدي”.

Rangers dud was as “rotten” as Miovski, now he’s Rohl’s most improved player

Glasgow Rangers head coach Danny Rohl should be delighted with the way that his team ran out 3-0 winners against Kilmarnock with relative ease on Saturday night.

Two goals from Bojan Miovski and a strike off the bench from Mikey Moore sealed all three points for the Gers, who had drawn their previous two games to Dundee United and Falkirk in a frustrating manner.

The German head coach should be particularly pleased with Miovski’s two-goal burst because it will provide the centre-forward with some much-needed confidence after a poor start to life at Ibrox

Why Bojan Miovski has been Rangers' most frustrating player

Out of all of the club’s summer signings, the Macedonia international has been their most frustrating player because he has not delivered at the level that everyone knows he is capable of.

Unlike most of the other signings, Miovski arrived as a proven Scottish Premiership performer who is in the prime years of his career, at 26, after a return of 32 league goals in two seasons with Aberdeen.

Prior to Saturday’s game against Kilmarnock, though, the left-footed forward had only scored one goal in nine league starts for the Light Blues, per Sofascore, and has lost 68% of his physical duels in the division.

Miovski was much improved against Kilmarnock, with two goals, which makes his poor form up to that point all the more frustrating, because that is the kind of performance that he can deliver.

It’s a display that Rohl recognised too. In quotes taken from PA Media, the manager said: “We had a conversation with each other and then he made step-by-step a huge step forwards against Dundee United. He had some good chances. He’s more adaptable at the moment, not just staying on the last line, it helps in building up as well.

“I’m happy when a striker scores two goals, it’s fantastic. In general, we spoke about what I demand from him. He told also what he is thinking at the moment. And then I think, especially after the Falkirk game, we spoke about spaces, what I want to see from the centre-forward and big spaces.”

The 26-year-old marksman is not the most improved player under Rohl, though, as that title has to go to Nasser Djiga, who has stepped up in recent weeks.

Why Djiga is the most improved Rangers player under Rohl

After Rohl’s fourth match in charge, against Celtic in the League Cup, Heart & Hand content creator David Edgar described the Wolves loanee as a “rotten” signing.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Football FanCast even suggested playing James Tavernier at centre-back at the start of November because of Djiga’s poor form for the club up to that point.

That criticism was fair after several high-profile errors, including a red card against Dundee, an inexplicable defensive mix-up against Club Brugge, and Four Lads Had A Dream claimed that he “genuinely looks lost” during the loss to Celtic in the semi-final defeat that led to Edgar dubbing him “rotten”.

It did not seem like there was any way back for the Premier League loanee, who was as ‘rotten’ as Miovski was, but his run of form since John Souttar and Derek Cornelius picked up injuries has been an impressive response to that criticism.

Because there was an argument, due to his high-profile mistakes, that Djiga was the worst performer in the club, it is only logical that his recent showings make him the most improved player in the squad.

Whilst Miovski scored two goals against Kilmarnock, the striker had not scored in his previous 11 games and is yet to show his quality consistently, and the Wolves defender has now strung several performances together.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, Djiga has really stepped up in the right-sided centre-back role since Souttar picked up an injury on international duty with Scotland, winning an eye-catching 14 of his 18 ground duels in four league outings.

The Burkina Faso international has shown that he can be reliable at the back for a stretch of games, with no direct errors leading to shots or goals, whilst being dominant in his defensive duels.

Rangers have kept two clean sheets in the last four league games with Djiga at the heart of the defence alongside Emmanuel Fernandez, and Rohl will be hoping that his new defensive partnership continues to shine over the festive period.

The 23-year-old loanee, in particular, needs to prove that his current form is not a flash in the pan and that he has put the mistakes that he made earlier in the season behind him to be a reliable option for the German manager moving forward.

On current evidence, Djiga is the most improved player under Rohl, going from “rotten” to reliable, but now he needs to do it over a prolonged period of time.

Gérson Cândido de Paula, conhecido nacionalmente como Gérson Caçapa, surgiu no Palmeiras como uma das principais revelações da base nos anos 1980. Volante de muita força física, leitura tática e movimentação constante, rapidamente foi promovido ao time profissional. Sua ascensão coincide com um período de transição do clube, que buscava retomar protagonismo no cenário nacional. O Lance! conta por onde anda Gérson Caçapa.

Nas categorias Infantil, Juvenil e Juniores, Caçapa era referência pela entrega e pela capacidade de cobrir grandes espaços no meio-campo. Ele participou da Copa São Paulo de 1985, torneio em que despertou atenção da comissão técnica palmeirense. Ao lado de outros jovens talentos — como o goleiro Ivan e o lateral Mariovaldo — ganhou espaço no elenco principal.

O estilo de jogo de Caçapa se destacava pela intensidade sem a bola e pela participação contínua na construção ofensiva. Embora fosse essencialmente marcador, tinha facilidade para conduzir jogadas pela meia direita, função que cumpriu com regularidade no início da carreira. Em pouco tempo, tornou-se peça frequente no sistema tático alviverde.

Essa versatilidade chamou atenção de observadores internacionais. Em 1989, quando ainda vivia seu auge físico, Caçapa recebeu a primeira proposta do exterior — convite que abriria um novo capítulo na sua carreira. A partir dali, o volante deixaria o Brasil para viver uma sequência de desafios na Itália e na Turquia.

A transferência de Gérson Caçapa para o futebol europeu

O destino inicial foi o Bari, clube tradicional do sul da Itália que buscava reforçar o setor defensivo. Lá, Caçapa rapidamente se adaptou ao ritmo mais físico e ao jogo compacto da Serie A. Seu desempenho sólido garantiu minutos regulares, o que lhe abriu portas para outras experiências dentro do continente.

continua após a publicidade

Durante o período italiano, Caçapa também foi emprestado ao Lecce, reforçando o meio-campo da equipe em competições nacionais. Sua capacidade de pressionar e interceptar jogadas continuou sendo um trunfo. Ao mesmo tempo, o jogador recebeu convites do futebol turco, mercado que investia fortemente em atletas brasileiros no início da década de 1990.

Foi aí que surgiu a passagem pelo Fenerbahçe, um dos maiores clubes do país. Com camisa pesada, torcida exigente e jogos intensos, Caçapa atuou em um ambiente de grande pressão — mas novamente conseguiu se firmar. Ele também teve experiência no Istanbulspor, ampliando o repertório internacional.

O retorno ao Brasil e o ciclo final da carreira

No fim dos anos 1990, Caçapa retornou ao país para defender o Atlético Paranaense, clube em ascensão no cenário nacional. Atuando pelo Furacão, tinha a missão de liderar o setor de marcação e oferecer suporte ao sistema ofensivo. Em 1998, fez parte da campanha que levou o clube ao título do Campeonato Paranaense, coroando seu retorno ao futebol brasileiro.

Depois dessa fase, o volante seguiu para outros desafios no país, atuando pelo União São João, América de Natal e São José-RS. Ao longo dessas experiências, manteve a característica que sempre o definiu: a versatilidade para ocupar várias funções no meio-campo sem perder intensidade.

A carreira foi encerrada no início dos anos 2000, após quase duas décadas de atividade, somando passagens por quatro países e acumulando experiência em diferentes modelos de jogo. Sua trajetória é lembrada por consistência, disciplina e uma longevidade rara para volantes da época.

A importância do atleta no Palmeiras

No Palmeiras, Caçapa não apenas se destacou pela entrega e capacidade defensiva, mas também pelo perfil profissional. Foi peça constante durante toda sua permanência, mesmo em tempos de menor protagonismo da equipe no futebol brasileiro.

Entre 1985 e 1989, disputou competições nacionais e estaduais, enfrentando elencos poderosos e contribuindo para a manutenção de competitividade do clube. Seu estilo “multifuncional”, como se diria hoje, antecipava características exigidas do volante moderno.

O sucesso na base e a firmeza apresentada no profissional o credenciam como um dos jogadores mais completos formados pelo Palmeiras na década de 1980.

Por onde anda Gérson Caçapa

As passagens por Itália e Turquia representam um período de forte evolução tática para Caçapa. Na Serie A, enfrentou atacantes de alto nível, teve contato com treinadores exigentes e ampliou a leitura de jogo. Já no Fenerbahçe e no Istanbulspor, desenvolveu a capacidade de atuar em sistemas táticos diferentes, adaptando-se a ritmos e estilos variados.

Isso fez de Caçapa um atleta adaptável, preparado para momentos de pressão e, sobretudo, disciplinado. Ele sempre foi visto como jogador de grupo — peça tática importante que se dedicava a cumprir funções específicas determinadas por cada técnico.

Hoje, Gérson Caçapa (@gersoncacapa) mantém carreira no futebol, mas agora longe dos gramados. Licenciado pela UEFA com a categoria B, ele atua como coach, profissional voltado ao desenvolvimento individual de atletas, especialmente na Europa. Além disso, mantém presença ativa nas redes sociais, onde compartilha conteúdos sobre formação, disciplina e cultura do futebol.

Vive entre Brasil e Europa, participando de clínicas, cursos e atividades relacionadas ao esporte. A transição para o coaching reflete muito de sua trajetória: um jogador disciplinado, estudioso e comprometido com o crescimento dentro do futebol. Caçapa segue ligado ao esporte que marcou sua vida, agora ajudando jovens jogadores na formação técnica, tática e comportamental.

Eze 2.0: Arsenal make contact to sign £88m talent who’s “like Mbappe”

They haven’t won every game, but this season is shaping up to be a truly special one for Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta has got his side playing some sensational football at times while simultaneously ensuring they remain the best defensive team in the Premier League.

It seems like every player, new and old, is all pulling in the exact same direction and helping each other reach new levels.

One of the team’s best players in recent weeks has been summer signing Eberechi Eze, and so fans should be excited about recent reports linking Arsenal with someone who could be another version of the Englishman.

Arsenal target another Eze

There was tremendous excitement from the Arsenal fan base when it was announced that the club had signed Eze, and understandably so.

Transfer Focus

Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.

After all, here was a player who many considered to be one of the most exciting in the Premier League, and had just spearheaded Crystal Palace to FA Cup glory.

Fortunately, while it took him a few games to get up to speed, the 27-year-old has more than delivered so far this season, racking up a tally of nine goal involvements in 19 games for the club and scoring that North London Derby hat-trick.

So, with all that in mind, it’s not all that surprising to hear that the Gunners may be after another player who has the potential to be another Eze in Kenan Yıldız.

Yes, according to a recent report from Spain, Arsenal have maintained their intense interest in the Turkish wonderkid.

In fact, the report has revealed that the North Londoners are going all out to sign him and have been in contact with his representatives.

However, Juventus are understandably keen to keep hold of the incredible youngster and, according to other reports from earlier this month, would need a fee of at least £88m to consider selling him.

Therefore, it could be a costly and complicated transfer to get over the line, but given Yıldız’s ability and potential, it’s one worth pursuing, especially as he could be another Eze.

Why Yıldız would be another Eze

Now, there are obviously some key differences between Yıldız and Eze, such as their age, but there are also more than a few similarities between them.

For example, like the Englishman, the young Turkish superstar is an attacker who can and does play in a multitude of positions.

Since making his first team debut for Juventus, the 20-year-old monster has played as a second-striker, on the left and right wings, in attacking midfield and even up top a few times.

The second similarity is that, like the former Palace star, he is a dual threat, someone who is as happy scoring a goal as he is assisting one.

For example, in 52 appearances last season, totalling 3520 minutes, he scored 12 goals and provided nine assists, which comes out to a goal involvement on average every 2.47 games, or every 167.61 minutes.

Then this season, he has become even more dangerous, scoring five goals and providing five assists in 18 appearances, totalling 1457 minutes, which is a goal involvement every 1.8 games, or every 145.7 minutes.

Finally, and this is related to his output, the 26-capped international is, in the words of content creator Alex Moneypenny, “capable of the spectacular.”

He doesn’t just score tap-ins; he already has quite the impressive catalogue of goals, ranging from long-distance strikes to ones stemming from brilliant close control.

It is also this ability to create magic on the football pitch that likely led European football writer Danny Corcoran to describe the youngster as having “Mbappe-like ability.”

Ultimately, it won’t be an easy transfer to get done, but Arsenal should be going all out to sign Yıldız in 2026, as he could be another Eze.
