Technically, MvG threw 19 already. Two treble 17s at the end of a leg that the opponent then finished. Then a 9darter and missing out on the double for a second 9darter.
Littler playing like that can make the other persons average slightly better cause of lack of double attempts / setting up doubles with lower scores! Still pretty mental though
I think the thing with Littler is that, even if he's wiping out opponents in the first round, they can still look at the bigger picture which is that the more successful he is in his youth, the more people he'll bring to the sport and thus more money which will enrich them as well. It's a lose-win situation for them.
It's clear Humphries thinks the same way too whenever he talks about Littler... a rising tide lifts all boats, prize money will rise, sponsorship money probably even moreso (especially with things like the possible Bullseye revival). Every legend needs a great rival... if Littler is the new a Taylor then the competition is to be the new RvB, & that's no bad thing.
Wright and Anderson are coming to an end, but I feel MVG and Price can have resurgences. It's nice to see a lot of good young players finally breaking through though.
The big boys don’t seem to be that bothered with a loss, they’ve got a few quid and there’s so many money matches nowadays a win will come around again.
MVG I feel he will never be the same he’s won it all got 18m in the bank and the hunger is no longer there needs a long long break to bring back that hunger I feel and I really fear for MVG in the worlds whoever gets him will certainly fancy there chances 🤷
I think he lost a bit of motivation when Taylor retired, and then fairly steadily dropped off. I was hoping that Littler might get him going again but doesn't seem to be the case.
This is Chisnall‘s chance now. Thought about it before the tournament, now even more. Big names are out, his way in the next rounds doable. Could be the major for Dave Chisnall finally.
Well……. Goldfinger had something against it. Chizzy wasn’t able to hit a 16. That was a big chance, there were not the biggest names in his way up to the semifinal. R. Smith/Plaisier/Graaf/Tricole/S.Williams - that’s the easiest way to the semi in the tournament. Horrible missed chance.
@@xtheamazingax looking at the draw… yes, I thought that. Up to the semis, all these players are far behind him in the rankings. There was a chance. But he bottled it in the decider. Here was the big big chance. I mean, Goldfinger did win a Major, Edhouse did it, somewhere there’s one for Chizzy. But he has to take this chance. This one was massive. It’s a tournament with maximum best of 21. That would help as well. It can only be one of these tournaments for Chizzy. Short format, big names out early. That’s it.
In my opinion, he has long since understood that it is no longer enough. He takes everything he can and ends his career. At least from his body language it doesn't look like he's dissatisfied with himself
@@rabg6284that's not true he has always swapped and changed I feel sorry for him because when players see him in the same draw there laughing all the way to the oche. The por man has thrown maybe a handful of good darts in the past 18month yet he still believes he has got what it takes to be a winner..... I'm sorry but it's gone Peter
Anyone notice littler not wearing the ladbrokes sponsor on his shirt ? Obviously due to him being only 17 which is still remarkable considering how good he is and what he's already won.
Hope the Asp gets going in this one, you just got to love him, as for Peter, MvG and Price you have got to feel for them must be brutal, these three gave us the best of darts ever hope to see them all back winning. But the competition now is outstanding.
Sad to watch what Peter wright has done to himself with his switching darts. He needs to take time off and come back in 8 months or so . Just take time to heal mentally.youre always gonna be loved and a fan favorite and will always be. Sad to see getting beat up by players who aren't in his class of talent but...
He is going to have some time. 3 weeks now until the worlds and he is probably not doing the World Series so he is off until end of January for the masters.
You must be new around here lol Peter changing and swapping ain't anything new he been doing it for years players who ain't in his same class dont make me laugh Peter ain't any better than a good county player anymore. If he keeps playing the way he is he will soon fall down the rankings
He needs a break from the game whether he realizes it or not, because he doesn't have the same "mental game". He lacks the confidence he used to, because he's not throwing the way he used to. Getting inside your head, and changing darts at the same time, and repeating the same bad habits is a concoction for disaster. His mind needs a break, and a desire to be great again or it won't happen!
What I like about our luke he thrashed cross but still showed him respect. I'm watching humphries leading van barneveld and he is fist pumping every leg he wins and every 180 he scored. For the haters of littler who say he is arrogant you are so jealous of a 17yrold boy compare him with other dsrt players he is more respectful than most especially humphries
The great thing about Darts is , when two trebles and a double is required they go for it. In a few hours time will be watching PL football , where overpaid underskilled footballers will pass square and back , rather then take a chance on a scoring chance passing forward.
Well played Diamond Ian white to take out the 7 x winner Michael van Gerwen packing in Minehead and Ian i like to see you doing a dab again in Minehead as well alright 🎯🎯🎯🎯♦♦♦♦🤓🤓🤓🤓👏👏👏👏
112.7 average by Littler. You can't compete with that. 338 average for 9 darts !!!!! There's too much pressure on every dart knowing that Luke will be throwing for a double on his 4th visit.
And now with MvG out, Littler needs to reach finals to get to no.2 spot in order of Merit. What a good run he has. And yeah, we had 6 Champs in 8 games. 5 are gone already. Nice start huh 😂
Littler can only reach World Number 4 in this tournament. Needs a quarter final here at least. I wouldn’t bet against him reaching number 2 after the World Championship though.
@xtheamazingax I mean this is the last one before WC. MvG is 250k ahead and will lose 200 of it. If Littler gets to the final here, he'll get that 50k and will start WC already as no.2

Please, someone call out Michael van Gerwyn for constantly standing with his toes inside the exclusion zone. This is a violation of the rules. DRA rules state "(iii) the non-throwing Player must not enter the Exclusion Zone behind or at the side of the Oche until the throwing Player has released the final dart of his/her Throw. " But, van Gerwyn is ALWAYS in the exclusion zone.
@jessen5333 If the doubles were shocking, then you must agree that Gary was poor today? It's probably just a hangover from the close loss to Littler at the Grand Slam.
Peter wright should drop the whole image thing and just come on as normal. I mean it is hardly worth the 5 minutes he lasts on stage these days anyway.
It's so fantastic seeing Anderson enjoy the pressure and be happy for the newcomers. He's THE rolemodel for all new players.
Littler will throw 18 perfect darts. Just a matter of time
It's on again, it's on againn DOUBLE TWELVE...
Obviously lol. He still has 40+ years to do so
@Herondinho ohhhhh I don't believe it!
There is only one that came that close and he is in a big downward spiral at the moment.
Technically, MvG threw 19 already. Two treble 17s at the end of a leg that the opponent then finished. Then a 9darter and missing out on the double for a second 9darter.
Wright, Price, Van Gerwen, Anderson, not the best evening for the top players. But always nice to see underdogs do well.
That 170 from White was nice.
Littler whitewashing a guy who averaged over 100 is insane
actually 101😂

It must be very disappointing to travel somewhere just to lose in the 1st round.

I wish he would stop the head and shoulder movement.

I think the hunger is there but he just isn't quite as good as he used to be, plus everyone else has improved
I think he needs to go back to the practice board
Too many dutch players playing better anyway & climbing
On the slide currently is all. He will still win tournaments here and there because he is a top player.
This is Chisnall‘s chance now. Thought about it before the tournament, now even more. Big names are out, his way in the next rounds doable. Could be the major for Dave Chisnall finally.
