y have largely exceeded expectations with stingy defense

Harry Redknapp has claimed he is willing to act as an advisor for Jordan but is unlikely to return as boss of the national team. The former West Ham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Tottenham and QPR managers two-game deal finished after a 5-1 defeat in Australia on Tuesday, which ended Jordans chances of reaching the 2018 World Cup.Jordan also missed out on reaching the next stage of the Asian section by a point despite an 8-0 win over Bangladesh in Redknapps first game last week. Redknapp, who was initially appointed by president of the Jordan FA Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, was open to extending his stay if they had progressed but insists he still wants to help even if he is not coaching the squad.I would help them, the Prince or anyone, free of charge. I would meet them in London, have a chat and if they want me to do anything any time then Im only too pleased to do it, Redknapp said.I would do a little bit of stuff if they wanted me to. If I could help in any way then I would give my time because they were fantastic people.I dont know what full-time [manager] would be but I couldnt go and live away. I would like to see them get one of their own lads in. Redknapp saw Jordan lose 5-1 against Australia I would have loved to have qualified for the Prince and all the people there. It was a great experience for me, something Ill never forget and something Ill treasure for the rest of my life.Redknapp, who is also acting as an advisor at Derby, was joined by long-time assistant Kevin Bond and conceded Tuesdays game in Sydney was a step too far for Jordan.They were on a different level to us. Australia drew 2-2 with Germany, the world champions, and go to play England in a few weeks, Redknapp said.Our lads are great lads but their set-up is on another level. Theres always a gulf, thats football.But they were special people. All of the coaching staff stayed up [after the game]. They wouldnt go to bed because our flight was at 6:30 in the morning. They sat with us in the hotel until we left for the airport, even though they were tired. Also See: World Cup section Features Latest video Get Sky Sports Malik Hooker Womens Jersey .

Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Marvin Harrison Jersey . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. The search for consistency continues.Thats the Readers Digest version of the Nashville Predators 3-5-3 start, which is causing plenty of concern about a team which some thought could win the Stanley Cup this preseason.Instead, they are sitting in the Central Division cellar and although there are 71 games left in the season, they cant afford to get too far in the hole.So there figures to be some urgency for Nashville when it hosts the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena for the second contest of its four-game homestand. Then again, the same urgency existed Saturday night, but it lost 3-2 in a shootout to Carolina.After converting only one of four first period breakaways, the Predators were blatantly outplayed in the second period, then coughed up a game-tying shorthanded goal in the third period to set the stage for their second straight shootout failure.There is no excuse for the effort in the second period, defenseman Matt Irwin said. We have to be better. We know it in here, and theres no one to point the finger, but ourselves.Nashville averages only 2.5 goals and allows 3.2, correctly reflecting the fact that it hasnt been able to consistently generate pressure or prevent opponents from doing the same. Its third from the bottom in Corsi at 46.23 per 100 shots.While a strong Corsi ranking doesnt guarantee success -- Toronto and Carolina rank in the top 10, for instance, and 10-1-1 Montreal is 24th -- it usually tells an accurate tale over 82 games. The tale it tells for the Predators is of inconsistency.Its not good enough, annd thats the bottom line, Nashville coach Peter Laviolette said.dddddddddddd Nobody is going to sit here and say that its been good enough because it hasnt. We have to continue to work to get better. Its frustrating.Meanwhile, Ottawa (7-4-0) is off to a surprisingly quick start under first-year coach Guy Boucher. Although the Senators are coming off a 2-1 loss Saturday night to Buffalo, they have largely exceeded expectations with stingy defense, permitting only three goals in the last four games.Bouchers point of emphasis has been improving the teams defense from last season.It starts with a mindset, which we have, Boucher said. Were asking our players to be reliable defensively, which theyve bought into, which is very difficult to do in such little time. Ive been very impressed.Despite dealing with his wifes cancer battle, goaltender Craig Anderson has been outstanding, going 6-2-0 with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .930 save percentage. Anderson, who will play against the Predators, has ceded three goals in his last 124 shots.The one weakness of late for Ottawa has been burying its chances. It scored only four goals in three games last week, and the lack of offense finally caught up with it against Buffalo when goalie Robin Lehner outdueled Anderson.We were generating chances, left wing Mike Hoffman said. At the end of the day, thats what we want to do. Some days theyre going to go in and some days, theyre not. ' ' '
