In my opinion, Chelsea made a huge mistake sacking Thomas Tuchel at the beginning of the season. It is true that the team was struggling at the moment and needed some changes to the situation. Thomas Tuchel should have been given more time after all he has proven to be worthy winning the league abd the champions league, he deserved to be given that benefit of doubt that he could still turn things around.
The Chelsea side were too hasty about a change of coach and the result is they are now falling deeper into the regular league. I'm not attacking Potter, but I think Graham Potter is the worst coach replacement at the moment, we know he doesn't even have any experience other than coaching Brighton and several other small teams, while Thomas Tuchel has already given Chelsea the UCL title and several trophies at big clubs others he has coached. I'm not sure Chelsea can qualify for this top 16 phase, considering that they always appear with poor performances.

Management like Chelsea's never gave Lampard the chance to build the team with young players, but Arsenal supported Arteta and today they have the result of building with young players.

Chelsea did the right thing by sacking Lampard but where it seems they made a mistakes is by sacking Thomas Tuchel. Lampard wasn't ready for management and especially not a top club like Chelsea at that early stage of his career. Maybe they thought they could get some fairy tale kind of story from the decision of hiring him but it didn't end so well and he needed to be sacked so as to bring a better manager which succeeded very well.

Even now Lampard isn't doing very well for himself irrespective of him been degraded to clubs of his level of management yet he's yet to get the team going. Everton are performing badly and all that is because of the poor management Lampard has at this stage of his career. Maybe in future things will change but for now Lampard isn't suitable to manage any big club especially not at top levels of the premier league.

Thomas Tuchel should have been given more time after all he has proven to be worthy winning the league abd the champions league, he deserved to be given that benefit of doubt that he could still turn things around.
Regardless of mistakes or not, I think this is beyond debate because Tuchel is no longer here and now they have to focus on making performance with the new players they have now.
At the moment debating the conditions that have already occurred will actually be useless in my opinion because there will definitely be pros and cons in this matter and it could be that when Tuchel is still there their performance will still be the same as this not to mention that Todd and Tuchel's problems will increase if they are maintained.
Chelsea thinks sacking coaches and bringing in new ones is the best way for the progress of the club,gone are those days when this tactics work for the club. The club needs to get a coach that will build the team,despite the time taken.

I don't see them go far this season,nobody can tell if they are capable of winning Dortmund, this their inconsistent  football is something worrisome and should be looked into by the management. I could remember those times Chelsea sacks coach and a new coach will do better than the old one,I guess that's old fashion now

The performance from tuchel was bad but it's not as bad as potter. Chelsea under potter looks the worst. I meant look at the result in the EPL. As a big club with so many great players and chelsea seems nothing for now. It's losing again and again. that makes me feel doubt if chelsea can win against dortmund. As far as i know that dortmund is slowly trying to build its team again. That means dortmund may comeback even stronger than before in february to defeat chelsea. Chelsea itself was so bad at this moment. I think that chelsea has a very small chance to win against dortmund.
Todd should give tuchel more time to build the club rather than sacked him

Real madrid will be feeling very confident against Liverpool. Liverpool are currently struggling with poor form even with the recent signings they still find it difficult to win games in the Premier league. Real Madrid are far better in performance and if both teams go against each other with their current forms I believe Real Madrid with come out victorious.

It is an undeniable fact that Real Madrid has an advantage over Liverpool in their current forms. Liverpool is currently in disarray and needs to restructure the entire team. I believe the coach has identified the flaws and will work to correct them. If there is no improvement in the club before their match against Real Madrid, it will be disastrous for the team.


But they are already seeing the Ligue 1 title as easy to get for themselves. They would play much more different in the Champions League. It is the same for Bayern Munich also as they are dominating the Bundesliga. I will be expecting a competitive matchup once again. If PSG have all of the players in the trio in both legs then I will be favouring them.

The league of champions has this match happening earlier than expected. However, today's champions league does not favor big teams that have made a name for themselves in their respective leagues. To advance to the next round, it is necessary to demonstrate proficiency and consistency, as well as a high level of expertise. While we wait for the game, it will be interesting to watch.

A draw against Nottingham Forest and a loss against Manchester City. This means Scoring against a good defensive opponent is a hard nut for Chelsea. Chelsea is currently a citing target to any club. The hope of winning is as good as no hope. How which story will be better in the champion league because we still need England teams to qualify for the next round? The team is very much okay if I should judge from the last match against manchester city. Chelsea can still go back to form If porter could keep his eye low and watchful. he is yet to realize that the team is only lacking a creative attacker/striker and not a defender. and It will be good to get one before the champion league outing in February.

The coach of Newcastle United Eddie Howie have come out to speak regarding the clause in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract that will allow him go to Newcastle if they qualify for the champions League next season, According to Him he said he doesn't have an idea about that and that Ronaldo is a great player and he wishes him the best, but there is no such clause in Ronaldo's contract, he said this in the pre-match interview in the Arsenal Vs Newcastle game yesterday. Newcastle United are really doing great this season, loosing only to Liverpool at field, in there last 13 games they have won 8 frame 5 and are currently third on the log same point with Manchester United who has a game in hand.
The news about Ronaldo joining Newcastle if they qualify for the champion league shouldn't be taken seriously.  Ronald has nothing more to fight for, His return to EPL wasn't favourable and that was because Epl wasn't the best League for him at that age, and I see no reason for him to return after leaving.  Ronald is already at the end of his career, by moving to Al Nasr I think he has made the decision that he best understands the reason.
Ronaldo has been happy with his club, any further discussion about him is not viable anymore caused by he was playing in another league. He can comeback anytime but i doubt that's gonna happen caused by ronaldo is too old to play the football in Eu. I think that anyone can't change this. Ronaldo is good but the fact that if his age is making him not even worthy anymore to be used as a player in EU. I meant look at what happened with another player too.
The old player like him must accept the truth.

I don't know how good Chelsea would be able to do with this game against Dortmund. Because they are still having serious issues in their Premier League matches these days. Currently they are playing against Manchester City and they are the losing side by 1-0. However they might not play in the same way in the Champions League maybe. Because they were better in the group stage while having some problems in the Premier League. Maybe they wanted to focus on the Champions League more.

But this is hurting them on one hand. They need to improve this effort and maintain a lasting winning streak. Otherwise we won't see Chelsea in the Champions League next season unless they win the Champions League title in this one. If they had Tuchel maybe there would be a small chance but now I don't even give that chance to them.
the defeat against manchester city is increasingly visible that chelsea's game has dropped since many of their players were injured, i think that is the main factor in their declining performance and soon the champions league will start chelsea must prepare to fight dortmund later if you don't want to fail

I didn’t watch the interview so I can’t confirm what was said in what context. Eddie Howie isn’t the owner of the club, Newcastle FC is run by Arab money. Al-Nassr wanted Ronaldo so bad they could have the deal with Newcastle possible. I don’t think Ronaldo or his agent were deceived.
In fact, I think this is a good and profitable thing for Ronaldo, despite his current age, in fact he also still has a great desire to be in the Champions League and accepts Al Nassr with the lure of playing in the Champions League and with a big salary, of course. obviously this makes him receive a lot of benefits although indeed this can happen when Newcastle are in the Champions League zone at the end of the season, but even if not I think Ronaldo has also benefited now.

You know Liverpool played so well last season nobody that no one really noticed the midfield's problems, but now that everything is falling apart, Liverpool have no alternative but to pour money into the team.
They need at least two midfielders. Keita is good but is injury prone. It is really tough for Klopp this season I just hope that he can still do something about his formation.
But first he must be willing to invest in good players to be the best.
It would be unbelievable if Liverpool didn't manage to land some good players during this transfer market. They signed Gakpo, that's great and I think a few more players can also be expected before the transfer window closes. Their form has been bad this season, so the option is to bring in some players especially midfielders and forward.

I believe Liverpool will compete better in the second half of the season. Klopp may need to adjust his strategy so that the team's performance can be improved. Nunez, who has so far been expected to be able to bring Liverpool flying, also hasn't performed with impressive performance, but that's him with a slow adaptation.

Newcastle are showing a great game this season and given the problems of the competitors, their chances of getting into the top 4 are very high, I think they are favorites against Tottenham/Liverpool/Chelsea.
Now I will root also for Newcastle (although I do not like oil clubs) - I really want to see Ronaldo's epic return to Europe plus a strong new club in the Champions League.
The owner of Newcastle United has denied the claim that he is making plans to move in signing Ronaldo in any slight given opportunity

I think this is the right time for the media to rest their case and stop sponsoring irrelevant and fake news around the internet. Ronaldo now has a club and we should allow him to enjoy his new club and not to link him to another club when being unveiled in his new club.

Yes, you are right, it is worth waiting at least the summer to re-discuss the options that Ronaldo could theoretically have. But Ronaldo is too big a brand to "pause" and forget about him even for a short time. Speculation will continue for a long time to come, and with the example of Ibrahimovic returning to Europe from America, anyone would believe that something similar could happen to Ronaldo.

I'm not a Liverpool or Madrid fan, but for sure as a football lover I hope this match will present a very interesting battle for us to enjoy.
That's for sure, this match will be quite interesting to watch even though some are not fans of either team but I think they will be interested in watching it later, another thing because real madrid is the defending champion of course everyone wants to watch the big match they play. Liverpool and real madrid are two big teams in their respective leagues and these two teams are inhabited by classy players who are able to present games that are more interesting to watch.

Predicting the final result of the match between these two teams will be difficult to say if we haven't seen the line up that will be presented if the match is getting close, but for this I hope that these two teams will appear with a perfect, no players are injured before this match started.

While the first match will be held at the Parc des Princes, I think PSG's chances of winning are big, PSG's attacking trio is also in good condition, so a little rotation by Christophe Galtier in the defensive position will make them stronger, so that the attackers that are owned by Bayern Munich it will be difficult to build an attack.
Between Bayern Munich and PSG of course they have good quality players in their squad. bayern munich maybe their squad will be different from last season Champions league because without lewandowski bayern munich is still very powerful in the Champions league. leroy sane and Choupo Moting have often been players who have been able to make a sizable contribution so far for bayern munich, Nagelsmann may just need to overhaul their playing scheme a little when they face psg later because the three attacking psg are in good form. messi and mbappe I think these players will get a pretty tight guard from the Bayern Munich defense.

This could happen regardless of Ronaldo's age but this clause seems to be true, especially when looking at the current condition of Newcastle where around 80 percent of its shares are controlled by the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi Arabian Wealth Reservoir Institution, of course there will be some things about this clause that make Ronaldo is interested.
Regardless of his age, the current condition is actually still possible for this to happen, but this can only happen if Newcastle are in the Champions League and actually for this season even though they are very good, I personally am still a little skeptical of this new rich club.

PSG - Bayern Munich is one of the matchups like a finale in the Champions League. Bayern Munich are the team being favoured by bookmakers now with a 1.69 odd to advance to next round. However it isn't that simple of course. PSG eliminated Bayern Munich before even when they didn't have Messi. Bayern Munich didn't have Lewandowski again back then as he was injured. Now PSG are even stronger than that time now. Their latest results and performances in the Ligue 1 aren't much impressive though.

But they are already seeing the Ligue 1 title as easy to get for themselves. They would play much more different in the Champions League. It is the same for Bayern Munich also as they are dominating the Bundesliga. I will be expecting a competitive matchup once again. If PSG have all of the players in the trio in both legs then I will be favouring them.
The Champions League is too different from Ligue 1, Bundesliga and other Domestic Leagues, so the results they get in their respective leagues are not always a benchmark for assessing a team's performance in playing in the Champions League. PSG even lost against Lens in week 17 and conversely Bayern Munich also lost against Aughsburg in the first half of the Bundesliga season. In the Champions League the mentality and experience of the players play a big role, because usually those who are under pressure will be easily beaten, this is a psychological war that is often played by senior players like Sergio Ramos and many other players.

While the first match will be held at the Parc des Princes, I think PSG's chances of winning are big, PSG's attacking trio is also in good condition, so a little rotation by Christophe Galtier in the defensive position will make them stronger, so that the attackers that are owned by Bayern Munich it will be difficult to build an attack.

Liverpool is surely struggling in this season and having not near the Real Madrid for the match but as we know Champions League is completely different league with having too many unpredictable results and unknown winners things can change here for the Liverpool as well because they are doing good job and trying to have strong strategy which helps them for having better consistency in results Jürgen Klopp is also having good chemistry about this all hopefully they will be able to have their winning combination.
You know Liverpool played so well last season nobody that no one really noticed the midfield's problems, but now that everything is falling apart, Liverpool have no alternative but to pour money into the team.
They need at least two midfielders. Keita is good but is injury prone. It is really tough for Klopp this season I just hope that he can still do something about his formation.
But first he must be willing to invest in good players to be the best.

Right, last season Liverpool had a good performance but they still couldn't beat Real Madrid in the Champions League, and for this season Liverpool on paper did not seem to have a chance to be able to put up a strong fight against Real Madrid.
But I think it's possible that when Liverpool don't look as good as they did last season, maybe the results for this season can also be different. Because with those who have continued to make changes this season, which means they still don't have the perfect shape, then it's possible that in this match Liverpool can surprise Real Madrid.

Because sometimes the teams that are not the favorites can get unpredictable results but yes, because Liverpool's opponent is Real Madrid, of course they will still prioritize Real Madrid to win.
Anyway, I believe that Klopp will be able to make improvements to Liverpool's performance this season, because match results and also their position in the Premier League have also slowly improved.
