It was a mistake from Klich in the end that gave Chelsea a sweet penalty in the ending phase of the game. Most of us know Rudiger made most of that mistake and overreacted but anyway I would say Leeds played well against a side like Chelsea and almost were so close to force Chelsea drop some points but weren't able to make it in the end.

Was an entertaining game and also we don't see a side very often that can threaten Chelsea like Leeds did in that game.

It never was an easy game for Barcelona. Fact that Barca were having long list of injuries was the one thing. Secondly, their players recently played the Champions League game where they had to put themselves 100% in order to stay in CL but failed so their players were never 100% fit for the game. Xavi had to limited options and had to play young players. Still I would say Barca play good given the fact in what state they came on to play in this match.

I thought that this would be a bit of tough fight with some of the players out with Covid illness for Leicester but really I am impressed with the way Leicester City performed today. no doubt that they should be the one to deserve 3 points in that match. Brendan Rodgers should start playing Daka regularly and he really is a good player and potential to become a star in future.

Yeah good thinking there. Every team needs to think about the future and I think Liverpool indeed should look into finding Salah and Mane replacement. I think Minamino can do well at wing. Last season he was good at Southampton at loan as well and with bit of chance I think he can adjust well. Also even if you buy a replacement it takes time for the new player to adjust. Also it would be awkward to make him sit out and let the new player play in no?. I feel like maybe Salah replacement is the one they need right now for the future.

Great !!  I thought VP might put a fight back in second map but misutaaa was very good today. VP were close but Vitality did a good work shutting down VP in both maps and now they advance to IEM Winter Final.


6-0 up in first map already so G2 have already made up the mind to give NIP no chance and advance to final as quickly as possible. Guess it won't G2 much time or pressure in this semi final.

Interesting 5 goals from penalties huh? Guess teams are making too much rough while defending or maybe their attacks are getting hard to handle for defence. Norwich is a team with a very bad defence line and possible that they might concede few penalties if they put pressure on the defence but United are not that good in creating much pressure so kinda have doubt on that.

There you go... 1-0 for Liverpool with Salah scoring in penalty. Martinez today has been so great stopping so many Liverpool attempts but finally penalty gives a good odds on Salah favour and Salah gave Martinez no chance of saving that one in penalty. Still 1-0 is not a comfortable cushion to hold better score 1 or 2 more to be safe as Aston Villa have some unpredictable scorers who might surprise at any time.

So far seems like Vitality are doing well against Virtus Pro and about to win the first map but VP also played out surprise when they beat Gambit in the same tournament a week ago so still could go any way. As for NIP's game, thanks for the news as I didn't knew that NIP will play phzy for sick dev1ce so yeah likely that G2 will find this one easy.

Well surprisingly Leeds got the first goal and that has out pressure onto Chelsea and also Leeds are holding Chelsea quite well than the opponents they had in previous games. Still I think Chelsea will have change in tactics and find the lead soon enough in second half. Leeds are just barely holding them till now. Chelsea have lot of of good capable players so I think Chelsea still got this.

In another game Aston Villa vs Liverpool, Aston Villa are doing quite well holding Liverpool attacks. This is the game I am bit unsure about and is going on interesting as well. Liverpool maybe the favourite but I am not ruling out surprise either in this game.

With 1 goal cushion, the strategy of Watford to allow them come on to them was really a bad decision. It was turning out as good until 80minute but it is very risky. With defence line at the back you are allowing Brentford to come on to them and they paid today for that. I wouldn't hold Ekong much responsible for the match but they took too much pressure. They should have put defensive midfielders in place earlier, King to make pressure instead of Dennis who had made much better run in wing than King.

It should have been an easy match but Watford just let this go out of their hand.

Injury prone are very unlikely to get some interest but in this case of Aaron Ramsey it seems that Everton and Newcastle are interested in the player and it wouldn't be bad for Juventus to offload the player. I think Juventus could make use of Ramsey but him being injury prone is what makes it difficult and hence there are also reports of them thinking about terminating his contract with the club.

Brentford have some good players but right now today they will be missing some of them like Ivan Toney and Canos will also be out for today's game. I would say Watford today has the edge. They have very good attacking players like King , Dennis who can score pretty good for the Hornets.

I would say 2-0 for Hornets today.

Most probably because of long list on injuries in their squad ahead of their game against Osasuna. Flashscore shows me a long list of injuries here: https://www.flashscore.com/match/CbAHHAtT/#match-summary but most of them were also injured in their game against Bayern but recent injuries of Depay  and Jordi Alba gives Xavi to work out with very limited options here and we already saw how bad Barca were against Bayern without their players so yeah maybe Barca backers are now losing confidence now.

See it all depends on Rudiger as well. Real Madrid might be very interested in him and maybe they are monitoring the situation of Rudiger with Chelsea but the player's decision is what matters as well. Chelsea are delaying things and they should really give them an extension already before some other team like Madrid or some other team reaches him out and give him a tasty contract one wouldn't deny. Chelsea still have chance but they have to fix their contract situation as early as possible before thing gets out of hand.

It's hard for Leicester when there are lot of players sidelined due to Covid illness. Manager is left out with limited options, even training sessions are suspended or not held properly so not a proper preparation so I would say Leicester came unprepared due to circumstances but still I must say they are fighting up well so far.

The game against Young Boys wasn't that crucial for United as they had already qualified but I highly doubt that Ralf Rangnick will use the same lineup for Premier League. All the PL games currently are important for United and thus Rangnick will rather choose his main players more in this match. He was giving chance to players who were on the bench for a long time and they will be used in EFL cup games more likely  and games like this which doesn't holds much importance.

I am sure there would be lot of other English football teams after him. Newcastle with their purse are thinking of getting every big name but I think most of them will fall apart unless they favour money over their growth of career. Also Atletico are a top tier Spanish team and moving to a English team who are facing relegation scare seems very hard to gulp down.

I think Arsenal has a lot of players in midfield. What they need is a proper striker. Even right now they are able to hold teams right now because Arsenal have good defence and wingers are performing for us like Smith-Rowe and Saka but Arsenal need someone good who can make good pressure, movements inside the box. Aubameyang and Lacazette are not performing for them and are also getting old as well. Midfielder is good and I understand they are looking to create a strong midfield hold but I think their midfield is performing up to task but their attack is not. It's just simply the money down the bin as they will be only putting him on bench.

Honestly board should have already offered him contract extension earlier when Chelsea were finding success under Tuchel in the startin. Board and manager should have talked about it and their plans and how crucial the player is to them in the team. Now Rudiger's performances has caught eyes of many big teams and it is very hard to convince player to stay when there is such interest. Well Rudiger is not the only player, there is Christensen's whose contract situation is also not resolved yet.

It is possible that they might go for Kounde. It was very close transfer last transfer window but didn't happened in the end.

It's a contest in Group A with both Club de Brugge and RB Leipzig no hopes to qualify for next round they will be finding two heavyweights PSG and Man City to atleast secure the Europa seats for themselves. For Leipzig however it won't be easy but PSG being bit unusual and Club de Brugge who are quite a surprising underdog it would be an interesting contest to watch. I however have doubts on Leipzig confirming but well lets see, they also have some good players who can change things but it would be very hard to score and defend against CIty.
