UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[izsara]

That is now all in the past, as the team has learned from their mistakes. We would have heard about Graham Potter's dismissal during Abramovich's time in charge as Chelsea owner; it was a one-man decision back then, but it is not in this case. I didn't want Graham to leave the club in this way; he was a fantastic coach before joining the team. Maybe he didn't have what it takes to coach a large team yet, but I wish him the best of luck. Let's see what Frank Lampard has to offer before the season ends.

The Chelsea management led by Todd Boehly was really patient with Graham Potter. He was given all the necessary things he needed such as quality players and freedom to coordinate the team but he failed to prove that he could perform his task effectively. Roman Abramovich wouldn't have endured this poor performance for a long time, Potter would have gone home many months ago. The task on Lampard now is very huge. He needs to boast the confidence of the team and gain the players' respect. I hope his presence will make players such as Mason Mount and other players sign new contracts and remain in Chelsea. Their biggest boast will be if they can beat Real Madrid.

I think the reason Todd didn't expel Potter from the start was because his ego still hoped that Potter could be the answer when Todd took Tuchel out and replaced him with Potter, it wasn't wrong, but it just got worse and worse.
Now that Lampard is here, I don't think it changes anything, especially when you see the opponents you have to face in the Champions League, it's clear this will be very difficult for Chelsea.

[Mr.suevie]

No one can say Chelsea is a weak team. Chelsea is always a big and strong team although they are difficult playing at their best form lately.
Sure, Chelsea won't reach the current stage/round if they are a weak team. Don't forget that Chelsea is the leader of group E on the group stage. It proves that Chelsea is a strong team.

However, if we compare the squad quality and coach quality, Real Madrid is still better than Chelsea. Real Madrid also has a better experience and achievements in UCL. I never underestimate Chelsea squad, but I'm sure that Real Madrid will have a bigger chance to qualify for the next round. I even predict that Real Madrid will play in the final round.

As a Real Madrid supporter, I also never said that Chelsea was a weak team and should be underestimated in the quarter-finals. They have sacked Graham Potter which means they have made room for other coaches to do well both in the Premier League and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Of course we are favourites, but Chelsea cannot be underestimated for any reason.

Lampard and Ancelotti are two different coaches. Ancelotti is a coach who has a wealth of experience in the Champions League which will put a lot of advantages over him, so I think we should be the favorites even if Lampard is determined to build a fragile Chelsea.

Am not a Real Madrid fan but am not blind to see that Chelsea cannot in any way win Real Madrid in any of the fixture, my reason been, the club has already been shattered Graham Potter,  you can imagine Chelsea, a team filled with so many great players but they keep finding it difficult to actually secure wins in their games while Madrid on the other hand are the Godfathers of the champions league,  I just hope at least they should just draw one of the two fixtures to avoid any disgraceful defeat.

The Chelsea management led by Todd Boehly was really patient with Graham Potter. He was given all the necessary things he needed such as quality players and freedom to coordinate the team but he failed to prove that he could perform his task effectively.

Maybe they had to be patiently waiting for good results from Potter. After signing a long contract with the coach, 5 years, they did tried to wait for improvement from Potter to not break a contract with him. It together with high compensation fee for contract break and financial difficulty because of pandemic effects, Chelsea did not want to react quickly and aggressively and at the end they have to pay such expensive compensation.

Roman Abramovich wouldn't have endured this poor performance for a long time, Potter would have gone home many months ago.

It is too early to compare Boehly and Abramovich but one or two more seasons we can discuss about that. The pandemic has actually changed the world a lot including football and how clubs spend money for players, coaches and related costs like compensation.

The task on Lampard now is very huge. He needs to boast the confidence of the team and gain the players' respect. I hope his presence will make players such as Mason Mount and other players sign new contracts and remain in Chelsea. Their biggest boast will be if they can beat Real Madrid.

Lampard did accepted a very challenging task but I think he belongs to the club and loves it so he agreed to take this challenging job and help his beloved club. Years ago, after he was sacked, Chelsea won their second Champions League and it is perfect if he plays a similar role this time and win a third Champions League for Chelsea.

Now that Lampard is here, I don't think it changes anything, especially when you see the opponents you have to face in the Champions League, it's clear this will be very difficult for Chelsea.

Todd was sacking tuchel after todd was officially acquiring chelsea with clearkecapital. that will be ashame if a replacement for tuchel was not working so well. that's why todd just gives more patience waiting for the good results that will be delivered by potter but todd didn't even understand if he was signing an amateur coach without even a big achievement in his career. If i were todd and i would be very embarrassed. Tuchel has fully explained what happened with him and todd.

Todd just dispectpect him and he was sacking him after a short meeting. Potter signed with a bunch of money and this guy delivered zero results for the club. I do know what todd feels right now.

Todd must be thinking wisely before trying to take any decision. todd was making too many interventions in the club. I still like how abramovich was controlling chelsea rather than todd even though abramovich was even more aggressive compared with todd.

I dont think that Potter had time in Chelsea. I dont even think he was 6 months in the club and he got so many new signings that it is just impossible to get them all togheter. Chelsea just wasted huge amount of cash on superstars but in the end question is can they play togheter. Potter wasnt able to make them play well hopefully Lampard does.

[fuer44]

Man.City, who are in good form in the premier league, have to face Bayern Munich in the quarter finals and this will be tough for them. No matter how strong they are in domestic competition, they always have trouble facing the European giants. On the other side, inter is likely to make it to the semifinals, while madrid vs chelsea and milan vs napoli will be 50% vs 50% matches.

Milan vs Napoli match which will be 50:50. that's because before Napoli could be superior to Milan, but in the previous meeting Napoli were destroyed 0-4. this makes the fight will take place unpredictable. both are pretty even.
but for Madrid vs Chelsea. I don't think Madrid will suffer. at least in the first leg Madrid will win. and in the second leg they will only defend. although I know, sometimes matches in the Champions League are very difficult to predict.

Madrid has not brought in superstars in several seasons and has focused on young players, while chelsea has always improved the team structure at the start of the season. But madrid under the command of Don Carlo and reinforced by senior players such as benzema, modric and toni kroos have a winning mentality and play very calm down. Meanwhile, Chelsea, even though they have always made fantastic transfers since the Abrahamovic departure incident, have yet to get their best performance.

That's what made me predict madrid vs chelsea 50%:50%

It's caused by todd boehly was not even selective in choosing which potential coach to be a new coach for chelsea. todd got so many critics about his decision to sign potter in the past. Potter signed with very big amounts of money at that time and he was giving disappointing results to the chelsea fans.
That's why there must be a big change in the management of club. Todd can't always act like he knows everything about football while the fact that if todd knows nothing. I just try to say what i feel about todd.
he is not even thinking about long-term or at least trying to get some representations before. Todd may able to repeat the same mistake again. I think that todd shall try to give the job to determine the best coach for chelsea to the management of the club.

Todd's intervention in the club was making it even worst than before. This is a fact that can't even be denied. This may affect the result against real madrid soon

[Mr.suevie]

I can see so many discussion on this particular match which Real Madrid vs Chelsea,  which I know so far would be interesting to watch as Chelsea are looking to make for last year disappointment with their tie with same Real Madrid But I feel the fixture between Manchester City and Bayern Munich will be more interesting. Manchester City and pep guardiola have really tried their best and it would have been nice to actually see them struggle struggle out in the final with one of the big names of the champions league but no positive results have been made towards achieving that goal.  Manchester City again this year will have to play Bayern Munich who are a very good side and I know it will be very hard for them to qualify over Bayern Munich.

I'll always back Real Madrid in every Champions League match until they get kicked out of this league. However, in the quarter finals, Real Madrid will perform brilliantly to ensure victory, as Real Madrid managed to defeat Barcelona by a huge margin in the Copa del Rey match. Real Madrid is getting stronger day by day.

I don't think that Potter had time in Chelsea. I don't even think he was 6 months in the club and he got so many new signings that it is just impossible to get them all together. Chelsea just wasted a huge amount of cash on superstars but in the end, the question is can they play together? Potter wasn't able to make them play well hopefully Lampard does.

The 2-0 defeat at home by Aston Villa saw the last straw of Potters Chelsea's rein and it ultimately came down to the experience factor Potter's opposite number in his final match, Unai Emery show no sympathy for him having gone through a similar experience at Arsenal and Paris Saint -Germain potters inexperience to managing a success hungry club like Chelsea was always going to be a tall order for a coach like a potter.

They have a very big chance to be in the semifinals and beat Chelsea. Chelsea have now just lost their coach but that is good according to some and it is what the new Chelsea fans have been waiting for. Real madrid just won an important game and also a big match when they beat Barcelon in the Copa del Rey by a landslide score. With that I think it will raise the morale for Real Madrid to do their best in this game.

Real Madrid is getting stronger day by day.

I agree that Real Madrid are now back to their best. even Barcelona has lost embarrassingly in the Copa del rey with a score of 4-0. and after seeing that match I am even more convinced that Real Madrid will also win in the quarter-final match against Chelsea. because after all right now Chelsea is not in a good condition. even after they lost Potter and have not found a replacement, it will certainly affect their performance even more. so this time I am also sure that I will bet for Real Madrid.

Spitting shit like you heard from me... Frank Lampard can bloody do that, especially earning player's respect, most player's in thr squad are still his signings, Thiago Silva, Mason Mount seem like he's favorite player lol. So they'll keep them heads together. But I don't trust him when it comes to tactics, I can now say against Manchester United, Manchester United will bloody win that game and Marcus Rashford would be on the score shit.

Frank Lampard signature has just brought hopes for Mason Mount as they'll have agreements on his contract extension, that alone I can stand strong on, he's a Chelsea bound player, he goes nowhere but hr needs to up his game. He's been shitty lately, no wonder Potter drops him on the bench.

On paper seeing Madrid are currently in good form and of course they will be the betting favourites. Madrid seems to be able to overcome Chelsea in the quarter-finals later and definitely get into the UCL semi-finals and that doesn't mean I underestimate Chelsea because it's in fact seeing Chelsea has not looked in good form since Potter became coach or has left Chelsea seems to be getting worse

Graham Potter might not have lasted for the number of  years as the Chelsea manager as much as he would've wanted but that doesn't mean that he wasn't given time to prove himself. In his supposed short reign as the  manager of Chelsea, the club management had already spent over 300 million pounds in recruitment of new and very high quality players for the club and so it was expected of him to provide the best tactical approach that'll suit the entire squad but he failed in doing that. He was even losing against lesser clubs than Chelsea. I think the Chelsea owner gave him more time than he deserves at the club judging by the results he was getting

[Franctoshi]

Lampard had a bad result when he was managing chelsea. this is why so many chelsea fans are also feeling skeptical once he has become a guy that will be handling the club until the end of season. There are many reasons why it was happening.
As you can see that if chelsea was getting UCL again after lampard was going out from the club and the club was managed by tuchel. that proves that lampard is not as good as people think. he was chelsea's legend and yeah I do agree with it but he is still poor in managing a club like chelsea even though his win rate is not as bad as potter. Seems a bit better compared with bruno. The better thing for chelsea is to sack all of the teams that were already brought by potter from brighton to the chelsea.
I can only hope that lampard will be doing his best when he will be managing chelsea until the end of the season. Lampard just needs to learn about how to put a proper strategy like tuchel which was giving UCL and more trophies for chelsea.

Very correct that Lampard poorly managed Chelsea during his first stay at Stamford bridge as coach, but right now I do believe he must have learnt some lessons from previous experience and there is gonna be a bit change and a different kind story from his previous performance and the time he spent as manager. hopping he is gonna get things right and improved from the way he managed Chelsea that brought about his then sack.

Chelsea team is currently having the best performance. The players of the team are performing exceptionally well in every match under the leadership of the coach. If the pace of this performance of the team is right then it is expected to achieve something good.

Sometimes football is magical. Graham Potter was successful in his former club but currently struggling in Chelsea. Today Roberto De Zerbi picked up an abandoned team and has turned the team into one of the best in EPL. It will not be out of place if they play in European Football next season. Chelsea has invested so much and got little but hopefully, Lampard will do a good job. He will get a permanent job If Chelsea can make it to the top four or wins the champion league. Lampard should give every player equal chance to be selected and he shouldn't give preferential treatment to players of a certain nationality.

[Raflesia]

Madrid's current performance is clearly quite different from before and this is a positive value for Madrid in the quarter-finals, especially when you see that their opponent is Chelsea, who is now a club in pain, especially with the several reshuffles that occurred after Potter left Chelsea, this is clearly not too bad.
Now the first leg is at the Bernabeu where they will definitely come out looking for points in the first leg and when we look at the stats as well as the h2h then it's pretty clear that Madrid are huge favorites in this game.

[uswa56]

Chelsea team is currently having the best performance. The players of the team are performing exceptionally well in every match under the leadership of the coach. If the pace of this performance of the team is right then it is expected to achieve something good.

I don't think so, on the contrary, Chelsea are currently in a very bad state, especially since they have just appointed Frank Lampard as their new coach, which means that their performance is not very good and for a new coach, of course, it will take a little longer to adapt.

Chelsea's opponent is Real Madrid, as we know Real Madrid is a team that has a strong mentality especially last weekend Real Madrid had just won the El Clasico duel, of course, this will increase the confidence of this team.

I think this season there is hardly the slightest possibility in Chelsea's favour.
