Agree with you on the fact that la Liga this season is not easy to predict, the outcome and the permutations of who will lead or win the title at this point is not clear and I believe that is the same thing with a lot of leagues at this moment. Girona, Real Madrid, athletic club and Barcelona are currently the top four teams at the table at the moment, this four teams have been consistent in making ways for themselves this season, I'm seeing it that it is a bit difficult for atletico Madrid to break into the top four, though it might happen between now to the end of the season but at this moment it will be a bit difficult for them.

There was indeed a slight shift this week like Girona who lost 2 points and Bilbao entered the top 4, regarding Atletico Madrid, I believe they still have a big chance to finish in the top 4 and they still have the same points it's just that they haven't played their 20th match yet. Overall, Atletico Madrid's performance was no better than Bilbao but there is no guarantee that Bilbao will continue to play well until the end of the season.
Yeah, Bilbao will struggle to maintain that position, looking at how atletico Madrid are strategically placed, you can be rest assured that they might definitely have their way back to the top four, because the point difference is not much, Barcelona on the other hand are sharing same same points with Bilbao except on goal difference, so the struggle to get to the top four is still open given the reality we have on ground, because i am not only looking at Bilbao dropping points, i am also looking at Barcelona too.

Almost everyone is focused on Real Madrid's victory in the Super Cup and forget that Girona only drew yesterday this means that Real Madrid has a good chance of securing first position in the standings Real Madrid will lead by 2 points if they win their next match. We really didn't expect Girona unable to beat Almeria even though Almeria is the weakest team in this league, what was even more surprising was that Almeria was able to control the attack at least 20 shots are recorded in the statistics while Girona only had 5 shots.
Well it's good to point out this fact that Madrid might take up the league lead, but don't also forget that Girona are still formidable with Their performance, and i will say you shouldn't write them off so soon, of course the league is now open for other competitors like Madrid to take up the leadership position that's if they win their next match, but forget that Girona will also keep the pressure coming.
I saw the Real Madrid winning of the Spanish super cup coming, currently they are the more formidable team than Barcelona, so it was an easy win for them
Barcelona and Atletico this season are considered unstable, the only club that is most serious about suppressing Madrid dominance in the trophy hunt is Girona. In my opinion, the competition is lame, in the sense that Girona is not a team that is expected to be able to compete with Madrid, and that does not mean underestimating Girona. But the fact is that currently it is Girona who are taking over the role in the competition and challenging Madrid directly. A draw against Almeria is not something bad. We have to understand that Almeria really needs a win. Apart from that, we remember that Madrid also drew before, so I think Girona is still on track at the moment.

On the other hand, Bilbao now occupies third place in the La Liga standings, shifting the position of Barcelona and Atletico. We know that Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico still have one match postponed, but if a surprise occurs then Bilbao will be very lucky to be in the Champions League zone. Bilbao presence in the top four certainly makes it difficult for Atletico to break into the top four, I think La Liga this season is more difficult to predict than previous seasons.

Of course Kevin De Bruyne's return has really rejuvenated the winning spirit of Manchester city, he is one guy with so much potential to still offer, i was even thinking because of the lengthy period he has been out of play, it will take him a long time to blend into the team but i was wrong, he game into the team and continued his master stroke performance.
By the time Erling haaland returns from his injury, then with the presence of De Bruyne, Manchester city will be unstoppable. De Bruyne always feed the frontliners with passes and assist, especially now that Manchester city doesn't have a standing striker, and if the frontliners they don't score, De Bruyne himself will make attempt to score.
De Bruyne is an extension of Pep Guardiola strategy on the field, his skills are a gift that is difficult to find in other players, especially in the current Manchester City squad. It is true that in the match versus Newcastle Debruyne showed that he is a player who can make a difference to the outcome of the match, so it is natural that when he is absent Pep Guardiola experiences headaches and finds it difficult to experiment. Of course we hope that De Bruyne will continue to be fit until the end of the season, to bring Manchester City consistency and compete closely with Liverpool in the hunt for trophies.

Manchester City will be solid and unshakable again if Pep Guardiola has a complete squad, if Halaand returns from injury it will be difficult to stop them in every competition. I see that Manchester City are very favorites in all competitions, even though they were a a little unstable a few weeks before, Pep Guardiola was able to fix all the shortcomings quickly and now they are back on track.
I must commend pep guardiola for recognizing the shortcomings in the team and to fix them almost immediately but I believe the return of Erling haaland too will also improve the teams performance, yeah they were really unstable for the whole of last month and the month before. Kevin De Bruyne present will improve the attacking force of Manchester City but my problem with Manchester City is that once an opponent is able to block them from the midfield because they always conquer the midfield, once an opponent destabilizes their midfield dominance, they always find it difficult to reorganize themselves all over and that is one of the mistakes and difficulty they were facing for the past few months they've been having issues in winning their games.

Real Madrid must be really delighted with not only winning the Spanish Super Cup title but also Girona's losing two points in the league.  Smiley  Girona were unbelievably horrible against Almeria and I really am curious about the reason why. Because Almeria are literally the worst team in the league with 0 wins and only 6 points.

How can you be this bad against the last team in the standings? Girona aren't one of the big teams in the league normally maybe but we all know how they are playing this season. There must be many people who bet on Girona as it was an easy game but lost at the end.  Sad

In fact, from various sources, Jurgen Kloop said that Kevin De Bruyne's return would shake a country and it was true that in the match against Newcastle, Kevin De Bruyne proved his talent and even though he had just recovered from injury, his performance still amazed everyone who watched. Manchester City's victory was not entirely Pep Guardiola's strategy and was purely the talent of Kevin De Bruyne who had the vision to see his teammate preparing to run to meet the ball and avoid being offside. That is a classy assist that only a few players have and Kevin De Bruyne is one of them.

Of course Kelvin de Bruyne remains a very good assets to Manchester City, perhaps Pep Guardiola saw the potential in him that's why he never talked about selling him during his jury that made him stay that long because if it was most of other coaches considering the injury Kelvin de Bruyne was battling selling him would have been an option for them but Pep Guardiola is a very Vision man that has already seen that the injury will not affect his performance when he resumes training and Kelvin de Bruyne came back with his the same good performance, actually his performance on the few matches he has played now has been very encouraging.

Manchester City will want to make the best of this game. Newcastle United are not in the best of forms, they have had two victories and five losses in the last seven games. Newcastle are the underdog in this match and I don’t think they stand a chance against Manchester City today unless football happens..
A little setback for Manchester City who have lost their first choice Goalkeeper very early and now have to turn to their second-choice goalkeeper to keep their goal safe. Manchester City have scored a wonderful goal by Bernando Silva to put Manchester City in the win. I have observed from the game that Manchester City have been able to constantly find themselves behind the Newcastle Midfield players because the Midfielders are too far away from the defenders. With Manchester City goal, Newcastle will find it hard to win this game.

Manchester City coach will at some time in the game put in the returned Kevin De Bruyne, and that will be extra firepower for Manchester City attack to force in more goals.


On the contrary Newcastle have been trying to fight back by trying to break the midfield been conquered by Manchester City, because the dominant Force of Manchester City are inherently at the midfield, hence you can give them a counter attack and supposedly score you will try to weaken the morale of those midfielders of Manchester City, Newcastle have been able to score two goals after coming from beside to lead the game, Alexander isac is one player that really needs to be appreciated for his creativity, the Manchester city defenders have been having a lot to deal with his presence at the Frontline.

With the inconsistency that Napoli has experienced in the last few matches, it makes me hesitate to favor Napoli when they play Salernitana tonight. Actually, we understand that this is an easy match for Mazzari's men, but sometimes the results can be quite worrying if Napoli's game is still the same as before.

Salernitana is indeed a weak team in Serie A and they sit in the relegation zone at the moment but what is clear is that their enthusiasm will not collapse just because they play against Napoli. They will definitely take advantage of the poor performance that Napoli has had so far and Salernitana must have the courage to press if they want to steal at least 1 point in this match. Any number of points means a lot to Salernitana so that they still have a chance to survive.

I won't bet considering the result is quite difficult to predict and are you interested in betting on this match later? and what are your predictions?
If we look at a glance, then we will bet on Napoli, but if we make a deeper analysis then we will not be so easy to say Napoli to win, because of what they have shown lately makes us doubt they will be able to win this match, it is a difficult thing, because with inconsistent performance, Salernitana could take advantage of it to at least get a draw in this match.
Napoli this season is not the Napoli we saw last season, they have changed a lot and experienced a lot of decline and repeatedly I bet on them repeatedly I also get defeated. now I have to be more careful again if I want to bet on them.
Despite all that, I will still put them as favorites, yes even if it is with my doubts given the inconsistency they have shown this season.

Napoli's performance has been very poor this season. The team is now at the ninth position in the points table. And getting 3 points even against weaker teams is now much more difficult for Napoli. Although Salernitana is the last team in the points table, it will be very difficult for Napoli to beat this team.

At the end of the first half, Napoli managed to draw 1-1. Salernitana took the lead with Candreva's goal in the 29th minute. At the end of the first half, Politano equalized the match by scoring from the penalty spot in extra time. , however Napoli's players continued to score. However, breaking down Salernitana's defense is very difficult for Napoli players.
Napoli have not been fascinated in this their game, I have not seen any zeal from the players to score goals or convert their chances, is as if the first goal they got from the penalty have gotten them some time to relax. However Napoli have been lucky to get a late minute goal at the 96 minute to secure their victory. I feel the absence of their topnotch striker victor osimhen has to a large extent affected their finishing in terms of goals scoring. Salernitana fought a good fight, if not for the late minute goal, salernitana had really played good football, because they scored first.

Chelsea's match against Fulham was quite fierce in the first half and Chelsea managed to take a 1 goal lead through the penalty point at the end of the first half.
Overall, Chelsea's performance is still not improving, especially Chelsea's front line which is not optimal in completing opportunities, but on the other hand, Fulham's performance is also quite bad in this match so Chelsea's chances of maintaining their lead or even adding goals in the second half are still quite large.
This should be a victory for Chelsea and they must win 3 points in order to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings.
Chelsea have shown some level of dominance in this game due to the goal difference they've gotten from the first half, Fulham have been trying to contain Chelsea terrifying attacking force, if not for the first half goal I believe this game would have ended a draw game, William has really shown his experience as a former Chelsea player with so much content in him. However Chelsea had a fulfill day as they are able to maintain that 1-0 win against Fulham. Fulham  have one issue with their strikers, and that is converting of goals because there are lots of chances they had that they could have converted to  goals but they didn't.

One of the reasons why people easily get addicted to gambling is when they start their journey into gambling just so they can solve their financial crisis.

Most of the people around me that are strongly into gambling and would even dress up in the morning as though they are going to work and go straight to the soccer betting shop are individual that don't have a job they are doing and that have seen people win big money through gambling and so all their mind is fixed at getting their own win also.

Some will even do small jobs just so they can get the money they will use in gambling with the mindset that it is through that gambling that they will be freed from poverty.

Once you find yourself in that condition just know that you are going to waste your time, money and energy in gambling and the reality is that most of the people that have a fixed mentality that they must win in their gambling are the ones that always loose their money in process.

Gambling is not a means to an end and their is no guarantee that you must win in the process so just do your prediction and enjoy the fun, if you win, thumbs up for you but if you don't win don't allow it get at you and don't assume you can always win back your money, learn and master the right time to walk away.
It is weird to understand that some people will wake up in the morning dress up as if they are going for a job and end up in a betting shop, personally I have not seen or experienced this kind of situation, but for anybody that does that, that person needs some psychological evaluation, betting cannot be taken as a full-time job, it is something we do for leisure and to have fun,  gambling is all about prediction of a certain outcome and that outcome might not be guaranteed so is a 50/50 situation,  so if somebody makes it a day to day job then that person must be checked properly. Gambling should be done with a good level of sanity, because going by your statements is as if some persons are seeing gambling as a poverty elevation program. Of course people make good money from gambling no matter your status in the society, rich or poor anybody can make good money from gambling, but that shouldn't be a yastic for you to become a nuisance in a gambling environment.

Of course Liverpool will not be easy to beat in a return match, but don't just write off Fulham, because given the fight they pulled against Liverpool anything might happen. Liverpool cannot consistently maintain a winning status at the three competitions you mentioned without the presence of M.salah for the next month's, as he has gone for AFCON, and we both know that, that's a big blow for Liverpool as he is their anchor head in goals scoring. I feel Liverpool should just channel their energy only on the premier League,  as they giving arsenal a run for their money.
Currently until six matches later in Premier League Liverpool without Mohamad Salah and Wataru Endō both of them will play for their national team on AFCON and AFC Asian Cup. Its bad impact for Liverpool for securing their top standings position after losing the Mohamad Salah as top scorer awhile with Liverpool have scored 14 goals of 20 matches.

Actually Liverpool's manager not happy with current team condition because he losses Mohamad Salah and Wataru Endō when Liverpool have busy schedule match from Premier League, EFL Cup and have to play on FA Cup.
But get chance with Mohamad Salah or Wataru Endō will return as soon possible depend on their national teams achievement on AFCON and AFC Asian Cup, Jurgen Klopp wish Egypt national team eliminate early on group phase and Salah will return as soon possible.
That is why some of us are against the idea of building a team around a single player, we are saying  that it is always advisable that as a coach you should diversify your playmakers, so that even when one is not around the others could make up for the absence of the other, take Manchester City for instance, even after the fact that Erling haaland is out on an injury for the past 1 month plus, Manchester City are still using other playmakers that the coach has introduced to the system recently to make up for the absence of Haaland.

Good morning to all my bosses on Bitcointalk.
I believe say all of us way dey this local board done already know say this na the second week of this new year, and many of us go done dey put head and hand for some kind of jobs wen we come across, wether we go fit from there get money way we go take survive all through this year.

Moreover, my main point be say make we dey careful of the kind of projects or investment way we dey put our money into because most of them na scam projects, as we all they find money na so others too dey find money.

As I come BY last year I see one big house for the capital and I com try ask and then say those people done carry many investors money run. according to watin I hear be say if you invest, them go use your money take trade forex but along the line them done run with people money.

So let's be careful and learn to invest in something that worth investing instead of investing in something that doesn't worth our money.
Na why we dey advise people to invest in bitcoin, because na something way plenty us of don invest our money before and we see plenty gain, as we dey we suppose know investment way dey sound like scam to our ears, if person dey tell you to invest into a business and in the one month time you go get 💯 of your investment, then know say na fraud be that.

Most definitely that first goal from Williams really gave Liverpool a bleeding nose in the first half, the absence of Salah too was also a major effect on the Liverpool side and it was obvious, that why we've been complaining about the fact that jurgen klopp building the team around M.Salah will not help matters, although his absence gave room for other players like Diogo Jota and Gakpo to always attempt a shot the ball with the intention to score,  that consistent pressure helped them to equalize and later win the game. Though Fulham pulled up a good fight, but they couldn't hold it any longer at the second half.
Liverpool is only leading one goal, they're not really in secure position. The upcoming match it will happen in Fulham's home, so Liverpool need to prepare for that. We shouldn't forget Fulham was humiliating both West Ham and Notthingham Forrest with 5 goals.

Let's see what will happen, I think it's interesting to bet on the semi finals match because we might see an upset.

Yes, it must be admitted that Fulham's achievements in the previous match showed that they were able to score lots of goals and provide difficult resistance to their opponents.
Liverpool as a top team still has the quality and experience that can make them appear strong,
Even though the second match was held at Fullham's home ground, Liverpool were not easy to beat. With the rotation of players in each competition carried out well by coach Kloop, the balance between players works well, so Liverpool can go far in the League Cup. , FA Cup and of course with excellence. EFL League,
So in my opinion Liverpool could win in all three competitions, although Liverpool could give up one competition such as the League Cup to concentrate on the EFL, because of the 3 competitions the EFL is the most important.
Of course Liverpool will not be easy to beat in a return match, but don't just write off Fulham, because given the fight they pulled against Liverpool anything might happen. Liverpool cannot consistently maintain a winning status at the three competitions you mentioned without the presence of M.salah for the next month's, as he has gone for AFCON, and we both know that, that's a big blow for Liverpool as he is their anchor head in goals scoring.

When people say Chelsea don't have a stricker I laugh, was it not Pochettino that brought Jackson to Chelsea? Or is Jackson not a stricker? You can't spend such money on a player and still complain that you don't have a stricker. That being said Chelsea have lost their focus, if it was the Chelsea of those days what kind of defense did Middlesbrough played that they can't break?
Pochettino brought Jackson to Chelsea to fix the striker problem face by the club but up to till now we have not see any impact of him because a good strike should be mentioned in every match they played, my own reason is that I am not satisfied with what is playing mean he is not serving is purpose, take a look at Jude Bellingham in real Madrid he is not a striker but the way he was just scoring goals people started to called in that, despite I knew he is a Midfielder I was still expecting goal from him. This what I expected to see with Jackson but he is not encouraging me at all.
Jackson was another failed transfer from chelsea. I could not understand what pochettino's consideration was to buy him from vilalreal. Jackson was not a good striker there and pochettino bought him with a lot of money, which is being so wasteful for the club.
The only good thing from him if he was still young and i see no good aspects of him. Jackson was lack of ball control even he can't do one tap. Chelsea has scammed by villareal to take him from la liga.

Didier jackson? seriously, this guy was not even worthy of being placed in the regular squad of club.
It boils down to what I always say about the current state of world football and how so many players just play the game without zeal, all they care about is huge wages and sports cars and flamboyant lifestyle, if it were in the days of Didier drogba, andriy shevchenko, inzaghi, ronaldinho, Zidane, maldini, etc,things were far more different than they are today,those were the days when the love of football was all that matters, that was why both Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo dominated the game for several decades because there wasn't really any tough competition coming from anywhere else but between both of them, there was once a time when a player would loose an important match and would go into depression, inter Milan former goalkeeper, Julio Cesar lost a champions league against Bayern Munich at the San siro, that night he walked home on barefoot neglecting his car, you can't find that zeal in modern football, this is exactly what you see in Chelsea, young players without big dreams, thats why they struggle to win matches.

Last night in the Carabao Cup Liverpool got a narrow win against Fulham which I'm some how disappointed in the Fulham team who got the lead and later they lost concentration and Liverpool who wasn't doing well took advantage and won the game.
 Fulham would have won the game last night because the made Liverpool to be in a confused state and you would agree with me that the reds could not play like they used to, wide play and causing opposition to fall back. Fulham just unlocked the secret of beating Liverpool which is giving them a man to man marking, hold the ball and even play those long balls like they used to do and taking control of the game, if Fulham continue doing that Liverpool would have lost it all in that game and they'll start looking for a different way of taking charge of the game and surely they'd be making silly mistakes. That was what Fulham did but they couldn't keep up that was when they lost control and lost the game.

Liverpool really did play well yesterday; otherwise, they would have been eliminated from the EFL Cup. The first goal from Fulham calmed all Liverpool supporters, as it was a well-executed goal that prevented Liverpool from scoring in the first half of the match. Once Liverpool equalised, all of their players started to play better, attacking Fulham with all of their might. At the 71st minute, Gakpo made it two for Liverpool, and they went on to win 2-1. In my opinion, Gakpo is even more of a striker than Darwin Nunez.

We will also know in that game that the absence of Salah will soon have an impact on the team's performance. While many people believe that Liverpool can function well without Salah, I don't think they can. The game yesterday demonstrated how much the team needs a player of Salah's calibre. When Mane leaves the team, we can see the effects on the team, and if Salah leaves, it will be worse because it will be difficult for Liverpool to find another player of his calibre. Liverpool has advanced to the EFL Cup final because even if there's a second chance match Liverpool will win it , which is something Chelsea can't accomplish against Middlesbrough.

Most definitely that first goal from Williams really gave Liverpool a bleeding nose in the first half, the absence of Salah too was also a major effect on the Liverpool side and it was obvious, that why we've been complaining about the fact that jurgen klopp building the team around M.Salah will not help matters, although his absence gave room for other players like Diogo Jota and Gakpo to always attempt a shot the ball with the intention to score,  that consistent pressure helped them to equalize and later win the game.

Edit: Dani Carvajal brought Real Madrid back to the game in the 86th minutes so the score line has been leveled back to 3:3, looking at the pressure been given to ATM right now I think Real Madrid may win the game if ATM defenders fails to hold them down before the final whistle will be blown. It's been a good game between the two big teams and being a derby match ATM has really improved in their performance because Real Madrid has always dominated them but tonight if the game ends in a 3:3 draw it's a good score for ATM.
The score is still the same (Real Madrid 3 vs 3 Atletico Madrid). The first extra time is over, there is no change in the score. If there is no more goal in the second extra time, we will have a penalty shootout. However, I'm still optimistic that Real Madrid will score another goal in the next extra time. They are very dominating the match, there are 20 shot attempts. But they must need to be calmer to succeed in scoring goals.

Well, if the winner must determine by a penalty shootout, I think Real Madrid is still superior. They have better players to be the penalty kickers. Real Madrid players are also more experienced in the crucial time like this. We must remember that Real Madrid often win the match in injury time or penalty shootout
The game is over and Real Madrid won 5-3. Two goals was scored under 7 minutes which was within 115mins-122mins. Athletico goalie was the cause of the last goal as he went down to Real Madrid box to see if he can be lucky to score or assist in a goal, but unfortunately he was not smart enough, as Joselu was fast enough to give Diaz Brahim a through pass, in which Oblak was in front running towards the ball but Diaz had the intention of making gest of Oblak, and he ran with speed passed him, and got the ball which Diaz played into an empty net. The 4th goal was an own goal and Joselu claimed the celebration. The match that was tough enough to the extra time, finally finished with 2 goals ahead of ATH. The winner between Barca and Osasuna will meet Real Madrid in the finals.
Well for the last goal, technically you would blame the keeper, but at another end he wanted to go help and score a goal, however my main issue with the keeper was his inability to have a good pace while pursuing the ball against the Real Madrid player, the player literally came from his back as they where pacing and took the ball from him, that for me was an embarrassment from the atletico Madrid goalkeeper. If the game was without an extra time, definitely it would have been a 3-3 draw, but the extra time gave Real Madrid much needed strength to come back on the game with all their fire power to make it 5-3.

In fact, Real Madrid had to trail 0-1 to Atletico Madrid through Mario Hermoso's header in the 7th minute. Maybe, this is a little surprising to most fans, but Atletico Madrid is a team that has always been a problem for Real Madrid so far. I know the match has just started and it's only about 15 minutes of the first half, meaning there's still plenty of time to see how the first half ends.

Diego Simeone's plan for this match was perfect, I mean he really wanted his team to get ahead and score first instead of letting Real Madrid take the lead. Of course, Real Madrid can still rise because they also fielded their best squad in this match. However, Atletico Madrid has a chance to win this match too.
The score is 2-1 at half time and there are still 15 minutes left, I think Real Madrid will win this match even though this opponent will be a little troublesome at Real Madrid's home.

It looks like this match will be more interesting because I want Real Madrid to win with pretty good odds of 2.05 I also hope Atletico Madrid doesn't get another goal back although I know in the second half anything can happen because both teams are very likely to win but the favorite is still Real Madrid.

Will this Spanish Super Cup final be another El Clasico match? Given that Barcelona are only up against Osasuna.
For Real Madrid to have found their way back into this game by scoring those two against athletico Madrid is a sign that Real Madrid can win this match, though the athletic club are causing so much havoc against the Real Madrid defenders causing them to run helter skelter but Real Madrid have shown some character here tonight despite twice in the first half they still pulled two back and levelled up the score line, i think they can still win this match if they mount more pressure on the athletic side and make them feel uncomfortable then they might get the winner before the 90th minutes elapse.

2021 Jadon Sancho was sold from Dortmund to Manchester United for 85 million euros. Since then, he has not performed as well as he used to at Dortmund. Now both clubs have agreed that Sancho will return to Dortmund for the next 6 months. The medical check still has to be done. Let see if he can regain his old form. He played his last game at Manchester United at the end of August. Dortmund has no option in the contract to buy him after the 6 months.
At least an agreement has been reached between MU and dortmund. So, jadon's transfer to the dortmund is entering final process. Manchester united hopes that jadon can go back to his best performance after he played for dortmund again, but im doubting it.
This may probably helping sancho to regain his confidence but the worst thing if terzic will not give him a place in the starting lineup if he will show same performance like when he played for manchester united.

When jadon Sancho first arrived at Manchester United it was highly anticipated that he was gonna be the new Christiano Ronaldo due to his escapades in Germany with Borussia Dortmund where he scored numerous goals and gave alot of assist, he came in with lots of prospects, he was very young and had a good knowledge of the game, besides he was british so he was very excited to play in his home country, but things never turned out to be as everybody thought, he had to work with different coaches who had different ideologies and style of play which he(sancho) couldnt cope with and as result made him sit on the bench or came in as substitute. Am so glad to learn that the player is going back to Dortmund where he had a good time and I believe he is going to use this time out to redeem his self esteem and also get back to former status.

Chelsea dominated the game but squandered a host of chances, with Cole Palmer particularly wasteful. Now Middlesbrough now have a slender advantage ahead of the return meeting at Stamford Bridge, then Chelsea can get the chance to right the wrongs in two weeks when they host the replay. I think Chelsea are even very lucky that the goal difference isn’t much. They will have the chance to put things right in the second leg. If the result of this match doesn't make you want to sign a world-class striker I don't know what will. Honestly, no team will win anything with players who can't finish.

The faith for Chelsea winning the match was datched out by the players who obviously missed alot of chances to make that goal record that could have put Chelsea in the best possible position to have won the match, but with the level of missed chances during the match, it further pushes us to the point to conclude that Chelsea as a club has lost it position as the one-time champions who have delivered and expected to recover asap from the previous crisis that has rocked the club for some time now which have resulted into this current players demotivation.
Many of Chelsea fans have given up on the club's ability to make something good out of this season, and just like the last season, no hope of recovery for the club as it stance right now, Chelsea is gradually losing out, and the speed at which that is happening is quite alarming.
I think the coach should be blamed for the outcome of yesterday's match and Chelsea's misfortunes recently, they played very well, created alot of chances but failed to utilize any of these chance because there was no striker to convert those chances, so I wonder why a team like Chelsea would not have more than one striker or a backup striker to fill the gap in the absence of their main striker Jackson, the transfer market is open and i expect chelsea to get a striker now or risk loosing more important games before the return of their striker.
