Chelsea performance in this season made people to feel bad about the team because since they sacked Thomas tuchel from Chelsea made some of their potential players to lose focus in their position. The way this new Chelsea manager is benching some of their strikers that know how to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the game, show that this new Chelsea manager cannot help the team to win this trophy.
Chelsea was hoping that if they sack Tuchel  and appoint a new coach  within a short time team will start performing well. Tuchel is a good coach that Chelsea was supposed to have patience to give him some time if he would have been able to change their state of performance then.

Manchester city has what it takes to defeat RB Leipzig 2-1 to improve their points in this match, because Manchester city will never allow any small team to reduce their points again than to use all their strategies to win the match. Based on their past performance in this UEFA champions league competition, I don't think, Manchester city defenders can stop RB Leipzig potential strikers not to achieve a goal from this match. RB Leipzig will definitely achieve a goal from this match but Manchester city will be the one to embrace the victory at the end of the match.
Honestly Leipzig is definitely a good team there is no doubt about that, but they are not as good as people think they are, even with all that money they are still not even remotely close enough to be that good. It means that we are going to end up with City win, and an easy one as well.

There is no "underestimate" going on here, City is good enough to think that Leipzig is not a team that can beat them, and play fully knowing that and still not be underestimating because that's the truth and end up winning anyway. Obviously this would change depending on the world cup injury situations, if City ends up with many players injured that would change things, but I hope that won't happen.

Manchester City will face Leipzig in this round of 16. Manchester City must not underestimate RB Leipzig in the slightest, if they do RB Leipzig will give a big surprise in this match. Manchester City are favorites in this match, of course they will get it because of their impressive performances in recent years both at domestic level and at Champions League level.
RB Leipzig itself did not come to lose just like that, they will definitely be more motivated to beat Manchester City in this round to go further in the Champions League this season. They must be wary of Manchester City's tall striker.
In my opinion, no team will underestimate their opponent in every match, especially in the Champions League, of course, every team will appear at full strength to be able to win every match. Manchester city against Rb Leipzig is also a big match that will be presented in the round of 16.  both of these teams have performed quite well in the champions league this season but their manchester city is far stronger than RB Leipzig. Haaland and Foden are two players who have performed well for Manchester City this season. In fact, I think these two players will be played from the early minutes against Rb Leipzig in the first leg later, Pep Guardiola really wants to feel the Champions Trophy with Manchester City, of course he won't  underestimating his opponent.
At the moment, even though it is a big match, Manchester City is still far superior compared to Leipzig, so this can still be an easy win in my opinion for Manchester City.
We know Manchester City obviously want real hope in the Champions League because every season they have to run into trouble for the Champions League. Last season they were too confident with the score they had which resulted in them having to be willing to be eliminated and that shouldn't be done at this time so Pep needs to ensure that the players are always concentrated in the match, especially for the last minutes.

Chelsea were indeed horrible at the beginning of the season with Thomas Tuchel still the manager of the club. Like I always say Tuchel was a good coach, he is experienced and understands the game and the league, too bad the board had short level of tolerance and cut ties with him and brought in Potter as a suitable replacement which was productive at the beginning but seems not to be going smoothly as expected now and I believe Tuchel would have probably figured out the solution by now rather than starting over from the scratch.
I see Chelsea as if they were being hit karmically as a result of making a decision too quickly which ended in Tuchel dismissal. Actually, Tuchel can still be relied on, but Chelsea is impatient with some of the negative results that Chelsea are getting.
After Tuchel left, Chelsea's appearance was not too different when Potter handled it. Chelsea's performance was still up and down and it was still difficult to find the best performance. Potter has not yet found the ideal formation for Chelsea, he is still making some changes to get the formation he wants. If Tuchel is still given the chance, maybe he can bring Chelsea back to their best form.

Chelsea are trying to perform very well. I don't know how they come back to performance after the World Cup. But if they want to do well then all the players of the team have to play with responsibility. Also they can use different techniques.

After Tuchel, I heard the news The official was also thinking to fire Potter, I don't who the candidate was because no head coach's name has yet revolved. Maybe only Zidane who is the best coach ever can replace him, but for now, Zidane seems not interested to train the club because he seems to focus on the National team, if any country ready willing to him.
I also have read some articles that tell about the intention of the Chelsea owner to sack him after Chelsea got defeated by Newcastle.

https://www.football365.com/news/chelsea-boehly-potter-sack-decision-four-options-pochettino-zidane-rodgers

There are some candidates to replace him (Zidane, Pochettino, Rodgers).
But I think Zidane is not possible to manage Chelsea. He possibly isn't interested to manage a team like Chelsea. So, Pochettino or Rodgers is the possible coach to replace Potter. However, I think it is too early to think about the decision to sack Potter. He just managed Chelsea, it is better to give him more chances (a longer time). At least, until the season is over.


Again and again, todd is always become a funny guy. This owner was thinking if he was playing football manager and he can sack a coach anytime if the club didn't perform so well. What a worst owner. Abramovich far better rather than him caused by he could understand if the process take times to happen. Rodgers was also the worst coach for now. Pochettino was the only possible thing for chelsea. it has tuchel but sadly he was getting sacked after the clubhas been moving into the new hand.
that's very sad to see that chelsea will never able to be consistent and find its best play if it must have forced to adapt with a new coach anytime. It's better todd to play football manager in the game rather than real life.

I don't see Leipzig as a weak team and I don't think Manchester City will be too loosed to allow leipzig to win the game. Manchester City is one of toughest team that is very difficult for a club to defeat. I'm sure Manchester City will win Leipzig no matter how tough they play their game.

I think sacking Potter at this stage isn't such a good idea, it is barely three months since he took over and its not like he has been performing poorly since joining, he has had a good  start in the club which is something to be hopeful about and build on. He has shown that he can bring in a positive change to the problems in the team so I think he needs that time and support now to be productive and actions to work.

indeed chelsea in the Champions league has great hopes of being able to qualify for the next round. their opponent in the last 16 is dortmund, they must be able to beat dortmund in the first leg which will be held at the Iduna park signal stadium which is Dortmund headquarters. well, if they succeed in the away game I think 80% of Chelsea chances will be able to advance to the next round. Dortmund will also not sit idly by because we know this representative from Germany will always make it difficult for their opponents to steal points from their cage. therefore this match will be a tough test for Graham Potter in the champions league and if he fails he might end up like Tuchel, namely being sacked again.
Currently, Chelsea performance in Premier League is the worst, so they need to do better in Champions League which is also important for them because with current form most chances they could be having not good chance to end at top four in Premier League which could be big setback for them and Borussia Dortmund is also facing serious issues in their German League which are giving them decline in rank and performance with this hopefully Chelsea will try to have some better chance, and they could be able to go into last eight round.

Now in knockout stage home advantage is surely going to be had big impact on all teams, and they will try to take this in good way because on the game day performance is going to be important for all teams here Graham Potter will try to do go with better strategy which helps them for staying into good connection for next round qualification.

In my opinion, no team will underestimate their opponent in every match, especially in the Champions League, of course, every team will appear at full strength to be able to win every match. Manchester city against Rb Leipzig is also a big match that will be presented in the round of 16.  both of these teams have performed quite well in the champions league this season but their manchester city is far stronger than RB Leipzig. Haaland and Foden are two players who have performed well for Manchester City this season. In fact, I think these two players will be played from the early minutes against Rb Leipzig in the first leg later, Pep Guardiola really wants to feel the Champions Trophy with Manchester City, of course he won't  underestimating his opponent.
Now we are in knock our round which mean no backup for any team they have to done their best on game day and right now RB Leipzig is also giving their best into Bundesliga with their record against Manchester City is also good so without any doubt we can expect tough challenge for both teams and here home match is going to be vital for both teams because last time City were unable to win against them with this now they will be well-prepared for this game even now we have three months and world cup results is also going to be vital for teams with any serious injury can create big problem and after break things could be much clearer for all teams which will give better shape of all teams in different leagues Haaland is surely going to be vital for the Manchester City and his recent form is not good but right now he has good time for setting things.

The fitness of the players is going to play an important role. Currently, the World Cup is going on and it will be interesting to see which players are going to be able to stay out of injury after this World Cup. Honestly, I think a lot of key players for a lot of clubs are going to face injuries. And the teams, which are ahead in the prediction of winning the World Cup are probably going to end up with more injured players compared to the others.

After the World Cup, I think there will be a short period of time when the results are going to be a little weird for some matches in club competitions. Just because some prominent players are going to be injured in the World Cup, it's my prediction, at least.

each coach has different tactics as well as the selection of players who according to him match the style of play applied.
Graham Potter has just coached Chelsea after the season and even though Chelsea's performance has not been consistent now, we cannot say that Graham Potter will fail, everything needs process.
when the Chelsea management took quick steps to sack Tuchel, they were convinced by Graham Potter to be able to lift Chelsea's performance.
Graham potter was previously able to bring Brighton to become a club that is quite respected and even frightening for big English league teams, even if Chelsea are not currently able to be as great as before but at least we can start to see an increase in Chelsea game, we just have to wait for the time to see Chelsea is back on the right track because no matter how great Potter  of course he needs time to improve Chelsea.
I believe Potter's success at Brighton was the key to Chelsea bringing him as a replacement for departing Tuchel and so far he has proven he is very well capable of getting the team back on track and back to winning ways. All that is required now is patience from the board and support. Potter did a great job at Brighton and I believe he can do same at Manchester United.

Manchester City is still a worthy contender to win the Champions League. They have a great playing XI. Besides, the rest of the extra players in the team also play great football. That's why Manchester City never had a problem with players.

Manchester City will benefit from opponents who are not too tough in the last 16 of the Champions League later. it seems, they will advance smoothly to the next round phase without heavy resistance from their opponents later. natural because after all, Manchester City is one of the strong candidates who will be candidates to win the championship in this competition. they have an extraordinary depth of players, at this time Haaland is predicted to be the key to realizing the club's dream of winning the champions league trophy for the first time.

However, make no mistake. if, Pep Guardiola's troops underestimate their opponent later in the round of 16. then, the result will be fatal. RB Leipzig is not an opponent that is too strong for Manchester City, but Leipzig will put up a pretty fierce fight and go all out to win the battle when playing matches at their own headquarters.

Even Real Madrid, had difficulty and suffered a 3-2 defeat when they played an away game at RB Leipzig headquarters. this match is no less interesting than the other matches later, because in the first leg, Leipzig played as the home team.
Seeing Manchester City performance this season, I think it will be easy for Manchester City to beat Leipzig in the round of 16 meeting later. I've seen their history in the group stage meetings in the previous season where the statistics stated that Leipzig could win the match against Manchester city at home but when they played at home to Manchester City they had to lose with a big score. Even this season the Manchester City squad is stronger than the previous season and it will be difficult for Leipzig to win the first leg match at their home because Manchester City is not a weak opponent for Leipzig. I agree with you, Manchester City will find it easier to qualify for the next round compared to other teams.
I totally agree with you, I wouldn't rate Leipzig as a small team or an easy opponent to beat but I also think Manchester City will beat Leipzig and qualify to the next rounds of the champions league. Manchester City are in a very good at the moment which give them an edge over Leipzig in this knockout. Looking back at their head to head Manchester have won more games and will still win this game probably both legs to qualify, they have the quality to do so.

I totaly agree man city must be carefull they are on a downhill recently and leipzig are on a rise after somewhat a poor beginning they managed to beat real madrid so they must pose a threat against any team no matter who but i still pick man city to make it past them.

I agree with this and city must be very carefull because liepzig forwarded will most likely find their way to the goal, which mean that any bad performance from city forward can change everything on this match and that's why they must score in the first half of the first match to make everything under control

Although Chelsea seem the favourite team to advance in their matchup against Dortmund, I still see this as a pretty competitive one. Because we don't have the same old Chelsea now. They have tried to change things by changing their manager but it hasn't worked. Potter also can't be successful with the team for now. I know that it hasn't been a very long time since he came here but they would have given some positive signals for the future at least.

Chelsea actually play better in the Champions League than the Premier League. But it is still not as effective as to eliminate the biggest title contenders here. I expect them to have some difficulties against Dortmund too. It is up to how strong Dortmund will be able to stay in defense as well. Because they are still quite weak in defense and this might give a golden opportunity for Chelsea to eliminate them. My favourite is still Chelsea but it might be a close matchup on aggregate.

Well, for now, Chelsea has very good possibilities, I think that Dortmund also has a lot to offer, I know that the Chelsea fans are very excited to put things right in the UCL, I think it is as you say, for now in the PL they They are going there more or less, not so well, but I think that the UCL gives them a high level and certain privileges, I have also read some news there that apparently the manager of CR7 gets along very well with the Chelsea board and apparently they can very well negotiate the exit of Man United (they no longer want it) because I think it could happen, of course this is just speculation, if this happens then eventually "El Bicho" would be going from the Europa League to the UCL with a big jump thanks to Chelsea and Chelsea will be gaining a big star.

Potter can get Stamford Bridge rocking

There is no doubt that Chelsea are in desperate need of a natural finisher who can offer the team more goal-scoring opportunities and convert chances in their pursuit to climb back up the table into a spot that earns them qualification in the Champions League next season.

I really do not anticipate Chelsea having too many problems against Dortmund. That is simply because Chelsea are facing some very difficult teams in the English Premier League. And Chelsea is doing well enough in my opinion.

But on the other hand, Dortmund is not performing as they should be in the Bundesliga. I expected them to be the second-best team in the Bundesliga. But clearly, that is not the case.

Another thing is that Chelsea is playing in the Champions League at the moment. I don’t think they need to worry too much about Dortmund. I think they are actually concentrating on the Champions League more instead of the English Premier League.

To be honest it is a difficult prediction, because both of these teams are not doing well in their respective leagues, like in previous seasons. But at the same time they are not too bad in the competition in the Champions League and because of that, I consider these two teams to have the same chance to win.
Maybe with one of them winning in the first leg it will give them a bigger chance to qualify, because in the second leg it is very possible for the winning team in the first leg to only maintain their advantage by playing more defensively.

So yes, I agree with a tight aggregate because I also don't think they will have many goals, but if Dortmund can do well then it looks like Dortmund will probably have at least two goals.
Chelsea's defense is not good enough at this moment and to make matters worse, Chelsea has also recently been getting stalemate which makes it difficult for them to score goals.

The way this new Chelsea manager is benching some of their strikers that know how to achieve early goals that will bring victory at the end of the game, show that this new Chelsea manager cannot help the team to win this trophy.
.
People are acting like Chelsea wasn't horrible at the end of Thomas Tuchel era, I understand that we won the champion league with him but what happened a year later, Chelsea got totally humiliated by Real Madrid at their home and couldn't hold a lead we were having that could have taken us to the next stage of the competition and who knows maybe we would had been able to defend the title which is something no premier league side has been able to do. Chelsea picked up form immediately Potter was signed and we are still in the tournament.

Assuming Thomas Tuchel wasn't sacked we would had gone out of the competition by now. Thomas Tuchel was playing a not so interesting football that revolved around passing the ball at the back without having any upfront force to put the goal at the back of the opponent post. With Potter, we're trying to be a little direct and with time we shall perfect that playing strategy and start winning games.
Chelsea were indeed horrible at the beginning of the season with Thomas Tuchel still the manager of the club. Like I always say Tuchel was a good coach, he is experienced and understands the game and the league, too bad the board had short level of tolerance and cut ties with him and brought in Potter as a suitable replacement which was productive at the beginning but seems not to be going smoothly as expected now and I believe Tuchel would have probably figured out the solution by now rather than starting over from the scratch.
