It's going to last like two seconds. Yo, what's good people? We're here at the Copper Box Arena for match day three of the Ballinger League. We're doing a live stream for the first time here on Sky Sports Football's YouTube and I've got the finest guests with me. I've got Zack Jalab and Moses Duck. How are you guys feeling? How you feeling? >> You know what? >> Excited as well. Definitely. Obviously there's there's a lot of ballers out there today. Especially in the first game we got clutch. So my personal favorite, you know, I saw him outside. Yeah. He was just hugging all of them. By the time like you know them guys like a I should have been playing by [laughter] you guys. It wasn't for the money. Yeah. I'm just not good enough. That's quite quite >> go center back if you try. >> No, no, no, no, no. I definitely could. I definitely could. Maybe maybe if I try really hard and practice at home, but for now, not I I prefer being here. I prefer being here. >> I love that. I love that. I love that. We've got some big games. Like you said, this first game obviously N5, they have they are topping the league. >> Ain't he lost the game? >> They haven't lost the game. They got a new manager, Eman SV2. He said a lot. He did >> before this whole tournament started. And he's backed his chat. >> He's backed his chat. What are we saying? Did we expect that to happen or what? He's an experienced uh footballing YouTube god. I would say he knows the game very very well. Knows it knows it very very well. Um I think he's kind of helped obviously that when when you're lined up as well with Perez uh and Layman, it's definitely not too bad. They obviously know the football side pretty well as well, obviously from their Arsenal days. Uh but it's a nice blend. It's a nice blend. He's an Arsenal fan as well. I'm sure he's over the moon. Hopefully we'll try and chat to him afterwards. Hopefully. But it's a big game. It's a big big game. >> It is. It is. And we see on the other side, Clutch FC. Obviously, you said you got two of your friends. >> A few more of it. About four. >> Four. So, why didn't you actually make the squad there? Like, what happened? >> You know what it was? Um, I got the call from Chloe. >> Yeah. >> But my phone was on DND. >> There you go. You know what I'm saying? And he couldn't call. I couldn't call back training in England. You know what I'm saying? So, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> No, but like they they've got some great players. The goalkeeper Dylan Barnes used to play for Jamaica QPR. >> Yeah. When you gave him hug, he looked huge. I mean, he's literally right there. the big guy, you know. >> Oh, we're about to kick off as well. >> 5 seconds towards kickoff. Here we go. >> First game. >> A big guy. >> What the score line? >> I was just about to ask. >> I mean, look, if N5 top of the league, they're obviously doing very very well. U quick quick start. Um and so, yeah, look, it would be a bit crazy to doubt the the league leaders. Um, however, I always think especially in kind of pitches like this where it is so end to end so quickly >> like form and stuff like that. I mean, Sharky and SCS showed that last season, didn't they? Quite literally. >> And the game changers. >> Like you say, Empire started really well, but doesn't necessarily mean that they could go on and win this, you know, competition or this league. So, it'll be interesting to see any anyone's game at this point in time. That's what I Well, if we take it from like obviously the Premier League and stuff, they always say 10 games is about where you can start seeing the ball. Come on, Evans. Got >> it. Great save from >> Great save from >> Man just straight behind us [laughter] as well. >> I try my hardest not to look. >> Now that is crazy. But you know what is with Clutch FC? I'd say they haven't started bad. They haven't got a win, but I feel like the energy around the team seems like it seems like there's chemistry. I mean, go on straight from the off. They've had the first chance there within a minute, right? And that's what I mean where in this kind of level, in this kind of scenario, literally anything can happen. Anybody can beat anybody. We can go from know what you think the score lines are going to be. Send in some questions. Obviously, we've got steamed guests with us as well. So, you got any questions for Zack or Moses, let me know in the comments. But >> tell us who to get on as well. Tell us who to get on from on the >> There's going to be a lot of players, you name it. >> We'll try to get everyone on. You know what I mean? If they say yes, we don't know. >> If they say no, we'll grab them. [laughter] >> If you know a few of the guys, what have they said about uh obviously being in the clutch team? How they found it so far this season? What have they told you? What's any inside information? You're off for Britzio right now. >> So, what they tell me [laughter] what they actually told me because they train every single Wednesday, they said the command team is very very strong. Like they know they have the players to go out and do well, >> but it's just like >> right behind us that we heard that one. We heard that one. >> It's it's just like getting the results over the line that they lose concentration because obviously they are elite team into all league. So, some of them don't necessarily know like the game changer can really change the game >> and how important it is that the little things >> they're all very good footballers as we know everyone here is a very good footballer but it's like do you know how to play the game >> and I think when you look at what balling league is it's the thing that I found so like hard to understand was the officiated cuz some of the some of the challenges genuinely if I was playing I would have got in like four or five times >> you're an player though he's an injury pro player >> yeah I can't even lie about Yeah, but some of the tackles are insane. But you play on and I think now some of the players are used to it. So they know that they're not going to try call certain things like even some of like that if he had won the ball there would have been it would have been played on but I thought that that was a foul from when he was just holding on to >> you know what back in my day that's a great challenge that [laughter] a great challenge that >> you still got nil three minutes from there. Oh, get rid. Get rid. Hold. >> Is that fun? >> I don't know. You know what I'm saying? >> I mean, it could depend on a ref. It depends. >> We don't know. Yeah, cuz sometimes >> number 12 for N5. Is that the former former uh Forest player? It is cold back. Oh my god. Aka Joe Tomlinson. >> Ball knowledge from you by the way. >> No, he is a baller. >> He's at number 12. [laughter] He played last week >> for years. We just made jokes that he to be honest. Yeah, that that was that was half of it. >> I wonder how they hopefully we'll try to get some of the ex players um in here as well, but I I wonder how they could they >> feel about this league because I feel like there's not a difference. Obviously, they know that they're ballers, but here they're not getting any respect. Some of the challenges that go into them, it's crazy. the intensity as well. Like there's so much pressing all the time you have to I think fitness level you must be having to have to play on here is very very high which is where maybe they're able to kind of take that next level cuz as you said earlier it's like they're all very very good football >> um but the fitness >> through off the post >> off the post is that did you say it was >> that was a great shot from seven do you know do you know who Cuz I was thinking what managers would be able to cope like current managers here And someone that I saw playing like a few months ago, >> Gary O'Neil, >> he is >> different level at five side. >> Is he actually >> different play against him? >> No, I was watching him and and genuinely he didn't smile at anyone like everyone was like, "Oh yeah, Gary Neil this the way he was pivoting trying to get on the he understands the game." >> Yeah, it's different level. I'd love to I'd love to see him play, >> you know, we need we need to have that. >> That was very hard. I mean, I could hear it through the booth, but you know who you need to keep an eye on? Who? >> Martin Wag. >> Yeah. He used to play for for Rangers Derby as well, I believe. Like he's he's like a Craig Melanie. >> Yeah. He's But the thing is that's where you see the quality difference when he shoots. >> Yes. He says shots like it's it's different levels. >> You know how growing up I always think someone was really good at football just on how hard they kick the football. [laughter] Yeah. Yeah. >> And pros level of it is just like an absolute joke. Obviously, it's all about the technique though when it comes to >> and and in this obviously the ball the balls are a bit different as well cuz sometimes when I see the keeper saving it I'm like okay that seemed a bit too simple there. >> That's great footwork >> is in what what what would you say? Why is the ball so different? How so? >> Like it seemed like have you the Premier League footballs they're a bit softer right? These footballs are like >> like fool footballs. >> Oh grippier grippier. Guess [laughter] Oh, it's a chance. >> Shot to him. >> Good defending. >> Taking a bit too long. Taking a bit too long. >> Still not play FC. >> Did you actually Yeah. >> Wow. >> Final pass. >> Well, done well. Can he make that cross? Can he MAKE THAT CROSS? OH, HE'S GOT TO BE THERE. >> CLASH probably had the better chances so far. Just about. Obviously, N5 had a few long shots, but nothing clear. He's got to be there. >> He's got to be there. He was trying to get there to be honest. [laughter] >> He was probably blowing it. He probably blowing. >> But it's mad that I think this this season we've seen that >> the goals aren't coming as much as they were in the first people being smarter there. >> Way smarter. Like the the tactics this year, even when I speak I spoke to Ian Wright last last week and I spoke to um Micah and they were talking about the tactics that they're now implementing within their teams. And even them, the way they're talking about, you're really bad [laughter] just >> last year, last last season, they were just trying to enjoy it. Now they everyone's going out to win. >> I mean, look at the Premier League. It's what Arsel doing. That's what they're trying to do. Finding it very very successful. >> Have we got any um predictions from the >> Let's see THE ONE. >> OH MY GOD. WHAT A GOAL. I missed what a goal. >> That is outrageously good. [laughter] >> Ball over the top. Little dink. Unreal ball. This ball over the top. Little ding just over the goalkeeper. That is some goal. That is how he done that from McCarthy in goal. Won't be happy about that. >> That is an incredible goal. >> What a finish. >> And a celebration to boot. >> That is quadra. I love the trim as well. Love that. One. They all start well. >> There you go. >> There you go. >> One. Is that goal? >> There you go. I think it has just about uh >> the game the game it's it's come alive now. It's come alive now. >> They've done they've done so well defensively. That literally probably the first open clearcut chance they've had. Own goals as well. >> Oh, and he just scored from the goal scorer. >> Wow. He's he's got two goals in the game. >> He's got two goals in the game. >> I guess technically or or he has zero. They cancel each other out. Either or. Either or. I mean that was a fantastic uh finish in the first one. In the second one, just a good ball across. that I guess that also showcases right what you have to be as a player in here. You've got to be up and down that pitch. You're a defender, a forward, a midfielder, every single bit of it. >> And you don't get time to enjoy the goals as well. >> Yeah, you don't have time to be celebrating for an extra 30 seconds. You think I'll even be there. >> Yeah. I see certain players, they do that. It's five celebrations. It's a Pra. >> Oh, wow. Finish his right foot. Take out finish. Oh, he's Oh, >> maybe he shouldn't have let it go because you know what it is? He's left footed. That's why he didn't save his right. >> Oh, it's Michael Hill. >> He's right footed. >> He's a baller. >> He is a baller. He won the clutch point last last week as well. >> Some of those penalties were different. >> They're playing well clutch. I have to say, you know, they're doing they're doing very very well. >> But M5, you know, when the game changers come in, anything can happen. >> What's your what's your favorite one? What's your favorite game changer? >> 101. oneonone. >> See, I like oneonone, but if the quality is not there, >> then you could be a very, very long day. >> Yeah, for sure. For sure. But when the quality is there, like last week, the the mysterious player for um NDLFC, that was see >> every shot was on target. >> Like I don't even know if he could see out of those goals, but it felt like he did. It's >> like a paintball, you know, when it gets too foggy as well. It's like the the sixth minute in. >> I wonder if he's going to be here this week cuz he had they've had a few play back. seen him today. So, >> seriously, >> I don't know if that was someone that was >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I'm going to do that next time. Just turn up your >> N5 aren't finding it too easy. >> No, they're not. >> They are finding it quite difficult. >> One, let us know in the comments who you think is going to win this game. >> What are they saying in the comments right now? >> There's just a few different We've seen >> apparently Ginge isn't turning up today. >> Oh, >> well, rumors he's on a plane somewhere. Rumors 26ers for the win. >> They started all right. They started all right. One win, one loss. >> They've started better this season than they did last season. >> And the loss that they had last week was very controversial. They they lost due to a one-on-one, but the strike from the player against them. It looked like he stopped the ball, >> but the referee didn't do anything and and JT actually put the flag down >> and still would not want to get on his >> B. Let's go. >> Is that Is that red card? >> Is that Is that a red card? >> Oh, he's getting two minutes simp. >> Is that now R >> now? Rangers. >> Wow. >> He's just come on >> first. Physical player. Is he got two minutes in? >> Yeah. Two minutes. >> See, this is where as you said earlier, M start well. >> This is where things go wrong. Obviously the game >> cynical, but I I understand it. Do you know what I mean? >> You know what? Nor does really well to uh to win the fan as well. >> OH MY GOSH. >> OH, IT'S IN. WAIT, what was the doing there? >> He went straight. No, he goes straight down the middle if as you mentioned it some shot on it. >> He pushes down the middle. Keeper keeper goes for the D. He pushes down the middle. >> Keeper keeper. Straight down the middle. He's gone for the D. He thinks he's going left. >> It is the keeper. You got to chat to your boy, man. >> It's tough though again. It it [laughter] is difficult but uh with that power of strike again that was that what I was mentioning earlier about when you're that level >> that's what I mean against the run and play now it's 21 to M5 they've looked clutch FC we've got four four players on the pitch >> that was a a tough card to uh a tough uh player to lose at that time >> and 2 minutes now are >> wow >> 2 minutes now until the first game changer what do you think it's going to be >> um maybe I think don't norally see the line too often >> yeah that's true that's true when If you shoot from the line, you get two goals. >> Yeah, >> I think three pass >> a counter. They're trying a bit trying a little bit too hard to check at the moment. >> But I think that that's the most annoying thing in these sided games is that >> when you're dominating and you're not winning >> and then you you start losing, that's when everything changes. It's like, okay, you start seeing players rush things. They've had a bit of success over that long that long ball, but >> that time way too much. Way too much. >> That's a non league ball that made [laughter] >> That's a Sunday ball. >> Tony Pis be happy. >> That's their ball. That's their ball. >> Is that corner? >> No. No. Just beforehand kicking. >> Chloe's not happy. And to be honest, I understand. They've been dominating. They've been dominating the game. >> Dominating the game. If they I shoot it there. But he said if I lose possession. >> Okay. Fair. >> You have to be smart. Three. >> See, I've got the first game here in the right. By the way, that's enough. >> Three. Three versus three. That means, and this one's interesting because when the attacking team is on, it's they normally sacrifice the goalkeeper, but if they lose it, >> they have they need to get the goalkeeper on. If they've normally got a goalkeeper that is good at football, they'll keep them on. Yeah. >> But we're seeing clutch. >> I think they're they're starting so the keeper's going off. >> And you've got to be careful with your subs, right? They have they've got to be like perfectly timed. >> Yeah. >> They they actually got stung by the first game. They didn't sub >> play him. >> They've got their most skillful players on as well. >> Go play him. get a shot. >> I do find it interesting when they go for the the idea of like putting a go putting a player in >> gun. >> Oh, big save. >> Oh, what a touch. >> I should have still on. Still on. >> Still on. >> Play it right. Play it right. Play it right. First time. >> Oh, what's he going for? >> I don't know why he didn't do so, but hey. >> Yeah, he doesn't he doesn't shoot as much as he can. come off. >> Ke's gone in. >> It is. This just become it becomes so end to end in this first time. >> This is how it's supposed to be. It's the goal. It's a min. >> It's like a training drill. It's like a training drill where you do practice that >> left foot trying to curl it in from that angle. Of course, >> they're defending. >> It's a really diffic but then clutch be quicker. Then you'd be quicker. >> This is why I said you got >> banging. >> Oh, god. There we go. Slightly got away with that. I think >> quick player >> 32. >> Yeah, this is this is what the game changers are about though. >> But then look how quick they are. Look how [laughter] quick they are. >> Like there's a lot of pace. >> Okay, they slow down a bit. >> Do the exact same thing. Or can he >> Oh, that's good. >> That's big for clutch here. Can they capitalize though? Do >> you bring the same players on? >> I think that second time they made it work a little bit better. They were still a little bit slow. >> And it's Yen Layman's birthday as well. So, >> happy birthday. Yay's birthday. >> Find a pass. >> It's going to be a bit >> and again. Oh, that's what they kind of got away with last time. Yeah. >> Play it. >> PLAY ON THE LEFT. OH, DID I GO IN that off? They're trying inside the inside with three. >> I think he heard me when I said he doesn't shoot enough. >> Big golf. Big big golf punch. >> That's a brilliant finish. >> Yeah. >> Oh, in the corner. >> Good. >> Take back. >> M5 need to try need to try and make the misses need to go. >> They come out. Oh. Oh, wow. That could be big. That could be big. >> Got 50 seconds left. Clutch with 30 seconds. >> Clutch. Take their time. >> Mhm. >> No, they should take their time. >> I don't know though. They're going The other team are still going to But the other team is still going to have a chance. So if you go quick with it. >> Okay, he's resetting. Reset apparently. >> You got to reset. >> Oh, we got money. >> Okay, so now the time, >> you know, they But if they take their whole time here, N5 is still going to have a chance if they were Okay. >> Yeah. Now >> have a shot. >> OH, IS that No, no, no, no. >> They s
