Real Madrid Beats Graham Potter Pro Max Lampard

UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid Beats Graham Potter Pro Max Lampard

Once upon a time Vini Jr only cared about himself scoring, now he does absolutely everything for the team. World Class

We all knew what was gone happen. SportsFila understands “Special things can happen at Stamford Bridge!” Frank Lampard proud of his ten men vs. Real Madrid.

Frank Lampard spoke to Des Kelly about his side’s chances of progressing beyond Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

Goals from Karim Benzema and Marco Asensio meant that Real Madrid got themselves a 2-0 win over Chelsea in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie. Carlo Ancelotti’s team were dominant on the night in almost every department while the Blues had a man sent off in the form of Ben Chilwell.

Keeping that in mind, Chelsea will not be devastated with a 2-0 loss away at Santiago Bernabeu. While Real Madrid are very much in the driver’s seat, the Blues will have a chance to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.

The problem for them is, they are struggling badly in front of goal right now. Chelsea have not scored in four straight games now. In the Premier League, they have scored 29 goals in 30 games. Thus, it will be a huge ask of them to score thrice against the defending European champions.

Chelsea Owner Sacks Coach Graham Potter

Frank Lampard is not giving up hope of his side making a comeback in the second leg at Stamford Bridge though. As reported by Evening Standard, the Chelsea caretaker manager told BT Sport:

Let’s not forget Chelsea sacked Lampard to bring in Tuchel, only to sack Tuchel for Potter, and then sacking Potter and bring in Lampard.

Real Madrid can loose in laliga against Mallorca but beat a European giant in uefa champions league..That’s the mentality that made them win it thrice in a row.

Frank Lampard claims that the door is still open for Chelsea to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League after a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid. ‘The fans will believe,’ the Chelsea manager said. ‘They will come and support us. They are realistic: we’re 2-0 down against Real Madrid, but that is done now.’

Lampard’s opposite number Carlo Ancelotti said he was satisfied with the result, but insisted the tie is not over yet. ‘I’m very happy but we need to keep calm because there’s 90 minutes left and anything can happen in football. I’m happy to have an advantage but I want to manage it well.’

If a team doesn’t take their chances against team like Madrid they’ll pay dearly,,thanks supersport for the timely highlights.

Chelsea in tough time it needs top manager and time to recovery.

Madrid are not even playing at their best. Give it two more weeks and this team transforms into something else. They just get better and better and the thing about Madrid is that they have a manager that can play different styles at any given time.

Sacking Tuchel and hiring Potter was a desperate panic move. Sacking Potter and hiring Lampard makes that decision look like 3D chess.

Feel sorry for Lampard. Nearly impossible do anything against Real Madrid in the champions league with 10 men.

James Rusty tells SportsFila Demarshian; “I have feeling that second leg is gonna be fire. Most prolly on aggregate Madrid will go through. But its gonna be tension till end. I know Ancelotti always bottles second legs after comfortable first one when it’s away game.’

Graham potter version 2 aka Frank Lampard makes big claim after loss to Real Madrid

To be very honest, it is hard to see Chelsea making a comeback in the second leg. Especially against this Real Madrid side.

There might be a lot of issues with Ancelotti’s team, but nobody can question their ability to get the job done even when all the odds are stacked against them. And under the bright lights of the Champions League, they seem to raise their game up a level.

On the other hand, while Chelsea did almost pull off a miraculous comeback against Real Madrid last season, this is a very different team. They have a lot of new players and seeing them play, it just does not look like they have built up the required chemistry yet to challenge at the Champions League level.

United ON THE BRINK of Champions League exit thanks to Onana

3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.

Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm

Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.

7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time

As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit

Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.

The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.

I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United

Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.

Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know

Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.

Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?

Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk

United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.

It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!

Copenhagen Post-Match Onana and Maguire heroes after dramatic win

De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.

If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.

Tottenham Topping the Premier League table

It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.

He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Eriksen great performance in Man Utd UCL win!

Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.

Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.

Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland

Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.

What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?

The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.

The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.

We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
