The season is quite so unfriendly to Chelsea, even with all the signings, I still don't see significant changes. I think Chelsea is a bit too reluctant at looking into the deficiency in their midfield, Todd Boelly is just too focused on buying attackers. Before it was different flaws From different wings, now the attacking line has been revived yet the gameplay isn't still changing because new things are still needed in the midfield and defense just as it is in the attack. Not solving this before February can be a big risk in a champion league match
Chelsea needs a creative midfielder to open space for the attack line and of course he must have an accurate pass to make it easier for the attackers to get the ball. But right now, Chelsea still haven't found the figure of the player and it's very rare for a midfielder with that style of play. As for several clubs such as Odegaard, Kevin De Bruyne and Nicolo Barella, it seems that they will never be sold because they are all key players in their respective clubs.
The midfield of any club is very vital as the midfield could either assist the forward and create chances for goals and also assist the defense in defending against goals.

Chelsea really needs an intervention in form of a great midfielder to be able to turn things around and make their midfield perform a lot better then it is now. They need a capable midfielder to be able to give accurate, consistent and effective passes that could very well lead to goals.

Midfield is very important in any squad. Barcelona have consistently performed well with a stable midfield. If the midfield is strong, and the players are experienced, the squad's performance is consistent. Chelsea's overall team situation is now unstable. So if only the midfield changes, their performance does not seem to be consistent. Chelsea need a stable match strategy. And with that they need some experienced players in their squad. Now Chelsea management has to spend big amount of money to strengthen the team.

as we know Napoli qualified for the round of 16 without experiencing significant obstacles except for one defeat to Liverpool. And not just in the Champions League. even in Serie A Napoli still shows excellent consistency and has only experienced 1 defeat to Inter Milan. And it seems that in the last 16 Napoli will face Eintracht Frankfurt. I don't know much about Eintracht Frankfurt. so I can not predict this match. what are your predictions for this match?
In my personal opinion, Napoli's chances of qualifying for the last eight of the Champions League are wide open, not that I don't respect the Frankfurt players, but if I look at the statistics, the two Napoli clubs do have an advantage, because since Luciano Spalletti took over, Napoli has performed very well in the Italian league this season. this and successfully climbed to the top of the standings, while their opponents Frankfurt are still stuck in third place in the Bundesliga standings, they have suffered 4 defeats and three draws, but this is only a prediction because anything can happen in a football match, but I am still optimistic and I will place a bet on Napoli's win when they travel to Frankfurt headquarters.
Napoli progress in Serie A this season has been very impressive, Napoli seemed unstoppable which made Spalletti side manage to top the standings.
The excellent performance shown by Napoli made him the favorite when he met Frankfurt, I am very interested in Napoli performance when destroying Juventus 5-1 in Serie A. Frankfurt also performed well in the Bundesliga, they managed to sit in 3rd place with 30 points. However, when compared to the strengths of the two teams, Napoli is superior to Frankfurt. Napoli are increasingly favored because their attack line is very productive in scoring goals.

Chelsea faced problem with holding and attacking midfielder but Graham Potter still not priority looking for new player on position leaving by Nkante after getting injured. Last success player sign as left forward and Chelsea right now have many option with attacking line but faced difficult on midfielder area.

Champion League knock out stage will begin on middle February and few days left before window transfer close actually Chelsea have bring new midfielder I think, but Graham Potter seems enough with his squad right now and confidence against Dortmund have the same poor performance at domestic league.

@Docnaster to be fair Chelsea’s injury crisis is a big reason why they failed to revive themselves, and all the player’s bought by them are future star’s hence they may not make much of an impact right away. Furthermore Potter will have to pray that no more injuries happen, and he’ll have to develop solid tactical plans for the champions league matches otherwise Chelsea will be eliminated quiet easily.

In my estimation, Napoli will pass the tour without difficulty. Of course, I don't expect big score differences, but I think they will continue on their way by winning both games. Frankfurt is a strong team, no doubt about it. Still, it's not a team like Napoli. In Serie A, Napoli are fighting and winning against teams that are much stronger than Frankfurt in my opinion. Therefore, the experience of the matches with the big teams will give them a great advantage.
Let's see how Frankfurt play today because their first game against Wolfsburg was terrible. I agree that Napoli are still in great shape and I also think that Napoli should win both games. I also think that there should be a lot of goals in these matches, because the attack of Napoli looks great, and the defense of Freiburg, as we see, is not in the best condition, and by the way, Napoli are also often conceded.

Napoli will be the frontrunners to put them as favorites in their meeting with Frankfurt. I'm the same as you, I didn't expect many goals in this match, but I'm sure Napoli will qualify from this round. Frankfurt is a team that can compete at European level in their domestic league, but today it is Napoli who have had impressive performances this season in both Serie A and the Champions League group stage.

But on the other hand, with Chelsea's current condition and with Todd's condition, who seems ambitious to bring in a lot of players now, it will also have an impact on their balance.
Hopefully this will turn out well but even if they can't be in an ideal position still at least they have to improve their current performance.
Their condition is in line with Liverpool, whose performance is slightly similar now. The difference is Todd, who is still very eager to add players, but at the moment apart from Gakpo, I even hear about others for Liverpool.

A draw with Liverpool in the Premier League still cannot be used as a benchmark for Chelsea's performance because even Liverpool are in a bad situation and condition this season. So, I can say Liverpool and Chelsea have decreased in quality this season so a draw for them still won't have any impact on their match in the Champions League.
Also, it doesn't matter how many new players they bring in, because it looks like this season will only be a season for them to make a few attempts to get back to having good quality next season.
In fact, it has been seen that these two teams cannot contribute more this season, but for the Champions League, it is clear that Chelsea's chances are bigger considering that their opponents can still be said to be equal but a little difficult for Liverpool.
As for the actual players, in this case, when we reflect on the competition and the title race, it is clear that this season, you can say that the hopes are small, but actually they can still maximize by improving themselves so that the standings in the domestic league are better, although maybe the Champions League is a little different and you have to give up on that. unlike the previous season.

I do believe there will be something different with Chelsea in the upcoming match against Dortmund. The result between Chelsea against Liverpool has been making me even more confident to believe chelsea will be able to beat dortmund.
Dormunt may lose some of its players at the end of this transfer season while Chelsea has been getting so many new players coming to the club. The performance from mudryk was making me amaze if chelsea was doing the right transfer.
Even though the result was not making me feel satisfied but I do believe chelsea will be different when it will be facing dortmund. Potter has found a new strategy that is very suitable for Chelsea.
With Chelsea’s recent signings it is expected that we will see some improvements in the coming games, I can't say if those improvements will come in immediately or later but I'm sure the new signings will bring improvements and change things around. At the moment I think Chelsea have a higher probability of getting improvements with the recent additions than Dortmund who might lose some key players again in this window.

Potter seems has found his formula to play in perfect form , giving times to him might have a lot of risk including on how chelsea dropped to their lowest form ... but let's see what he can do in champions league in few weeks.
I hope so. Being drawn with Liverpool in Chelsea was not so bad. Chelsea is now even better than before. I hope that new players that will be coming to the Chelsea will make the team able to go up again. Chelsea must have at least participated in the champion league or europa league next season.
But on the other hand, with Chelsea's current condition and with Todd's condition, who seems ambitious to bring in a lot of players now, it will also have an impact on their balance.
Hopefully this will turn out well but even if they can't be in an ideal position still at least they have to improve their current performance.

It's better even when todd was gambling. You must also be aware of how bad the performance from Chelsea. Even if todd was not buying many players and Chelsea was not even balanced. I see that todd has a reason for that. Chelsea has been facing so many losses against other teams. I personally think that as long as Chelsea will become better with so many new players and I'm not seeing any problem with it for sure. Gakpo was not even performing so well during his debut with Liverpool.

It was an important fight for the Champions League qualifiers.  Both teams tried very hard on the field, but they could not beat.  This was actually a serious rehearsal for Liverpool before the Real Madrid match.  Likewise, we can call Chelsea a friendly match for Dortmund.  I see Chelsea more likely to win in the matchups, but I'm not sure what Liverpool can do against Real Madrid.
The performance from real madrid is far compared with Liverpool. Liverpool was still struggling with its performance when madrid is always winning the match. Madrid was only losing against Barcelona and a few teams in la liga but it's not as bad as Liverpool at this moment.
I see that if Liverpool was at the disadvantage compared with madrid at this moment. In my opinion, people shall be aware if real madrid must be more favorite compared with Liverpool but the bookies gave real madrid huge odds which is good.
Bookies favor liverpool in the first leg of champion.

The present performance of Chelsea shows that it is impossible for them to win the UCL this season. There is no magic in it,even if they escape from Dortmund, they might not win their next match after the draw. It is obvious that Chelsea is lacking behind in their league,which I think might also affect their performance in UCL. There might be hope for them next season if they can qualify through to UCL
With Chelsea's current condition it is unthinkable for many people to win the Champions League and for next season it will also be difficult to qualify for the Champions League because considering that Chelsea is currently ranked 10th in the Premier League standings. So that there are six positions that Chelsea must fight for if they want to qualify for the Champions League next season and I think that this is not an easy task for Chelsea this season with the current conditions.

Chelsea seem to be so inconsistent and with Graham potter as their manager, I don't see them going past Dortmund I see Chelsea more likely to win in the matchups,

but I'm not sure what Liverpool can do against Real Madrid.
This one is obvious. Real Madrid may have had their poor for in the recent games, but the return of Benzema is a big boast to them. Liverpool on the other hand just don't seem to have things going right. Salah is a shadow of his former glory.

They will try to beat Dortmund because winning Champions League is something really big and attractive. It is especially important for Chelsea because they almost won't be able to complete the season in top four. Winning Champions League will give them a privilege to be eligible for Champions League 2023 - 2024 even if they end Premier League 2022 - 2023 not within top four.
Winning UCL is a big deal, but Chelsea can't win UCL, no way possible and it's not going to happen. Even if they somehow managed to beat Dortmund which is possible, doesn't mean that they are going to beat everyone else that they face neither, they are going to lose to other teams that they will end up facing.

This is why I believe that the best they could do is beating Dortmund, maybe if they are lucky they will get one more easy draw, but that's it, that's the max they are going to get, semi finals are impossible for them, they will just be losing and they will be just facing harder and harder teams that they can't beat, look at them at the league and you will understand.
