The former Real Madrid star has been sent off twice in the Premier League, contributing to seven of the games he has missed. He also missed the defeat to Arsenal in January after getting his fifth yellow card in the top flight. United's win over Everton was the final game of Casemiro's latest ban. But, he could soon be out again for Erik ten Hag. If he were to get booked against Sevilla, he would ...

Koulibaly reveals what Frank Lampard did to ‘motivate’ Chelsea stars

Premier League
Kalidou Koulibaly has revealed what Frank Lampard did to ‘motivate’ Chelsea players when he arrived back at the club. Lampard recently replaced Graham Potter on a short-term deal in what is his second stint in charge of Chelsea, where he had a legendary playing career. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It has been a poor campaign for the Blues, who are 11th in the Premier League table and lost their first game under Lampard to Wolves on Saturday. But Koulibaly, who arrived at Stamford Bridge this summer from Napoli, has explained what Lampard has done to change the mood at Stamford Bridge. ‘When you change managers, it’s like you failed somewhere,’ Koulibaly told The Times. ‘You have to keep on fighting, and we’ll give everything. ‘Our new manage...

Guardiola reveals the only difference between Erling Haaland & Lionel Messi

Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1
Pep Guardiola praised Erling Haaland's behaviour off the pitch as he brought the striker into a conversation about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Comments that Guardiola made in a broadcast interview after their 4-1 win over Southampton comparing the Norwegian to the two modern greats prompted a more discussion in his press conference. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); And, he said Haaland had only done for a season what the duo had managed over two decades, but has seen enough from the player to believe he can attempt to take their mantle. Guardiola claimed Haaland has a similar mindset to Messi did but warned that he needs to steer clear of injury if he is to match the achievements of the two forwards. "Haaland is always happy, always smiling...
Lampard slams Chelsea stars & issues clear demand after loss to Wolves

Lampard slams Chelsea stars & issues clear demand after loss to Wolves

Premier League
Frank Lampard tore into his players and said they have to change their mindset after Chelsea fell to a 1-0 defeat against Wolves in his first game back at the helm. After sacking Graham Potter this week, the club hierarchy moved to bring Lampard back to the club as caretaker manager until the end of the campaign while they conduct the search for Potter's permanent successor. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The onus is now on Lampard to lift the Blues, who headed into Saturday's game languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Lampard said after the final whistle: "In terms of the performance, in the first-half I thought we were slightly off the pace. "You could feel Wolves were aggressive, fighting for their Premier League status...
Frank Lampard fires warning to Real Madrid ahead of Champions League clash

Frank Lampard fires warning to Real Madrid ahead of Champions League clash

Premier League
Frank Lampard has sent a message that Real Madrid clash will be different after Chelsea suffered 1-0 defeat at Wolves. Matheus Nunes’ first-half goal was enough to down the visitors as the West London side failed to produce a response. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The 44-year-old, back until the end of the campaign after the sacking of Graham Potter, could not inspire the club in his first game in charge since being sacked in January 2021. They remain 11th in the Premier League – ahead of the Champions League quarter-final first leg in the Bernabeu – but Lampard downplayed worries Chelsea will struggle in Spain after a loss at Molineux. He said: “If you are worried don’t come. The players shouldn’t be. I’m not saying the squad doesn’t have th...
Gary Neville blames Man Utd curse after Wan-Bissaka misses absolute sitter

Gary Neville blames Man Utd curse after Wan-Bissaka misses absolute sitter

Premier League
Gary Neville has mocked Aaron Wan-Bissaka after he managed to miss a golden opportunity to give Manchester United the lead against Everton. Erik ten Hag's side dominated the game at Old Trafford and should have taken the lead when Wan-Bissaka was gifted the chance to score. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Antony's initial long-range strike hit the post, before the defender reacted first from the rebound. But, the former Crystal Palace man completely scuffed his effort and rolled it wide when it was easier to score. All Wan-Bissaka needed was keep his composure and roll the ball into an empty net, but he showed why he has scored just twice in 149 appearances for the Red Devils. After Wan-Bissaka missed his chance, Neville took to Twitter and s...
Shakhtar chief reveals the warning he gave Chelsea before signing Mudryk

Shakhtar chief reveals the warning he gave Chelsea before signing Mudryk

Premier League
Shakhtar Donetsk CEO Serhiy Palkin says Mykhailo Mudryk is not regretting his move to Chelsea, but admits he is not surprised by the poor start the winger has made to his Premier League career. His arrival at Stamford Bridge was greeted with almost unprecedented fanfare after Chelsea hijacked Arsenal’s move for the player. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But while the Gunners have gone from strength to strength, in part aided by the displays of Leandro Trossard who Arsenal signed after missing out on Mudryk and Chelsea have floundered. The Ukraine international’s nine appearances so far have yielded just an assist and he is yet to complete 90 minutes. Palkin, however, revealed he met Mudryk last week and confirmed the player remains in high spir...
John Obi Mikel blasts Chelsea’s new players & Todd Boehly

John Obi Mikel blasts Chelsea’s new players & Todd Boehly

Premier League
John Obi Mikel has slammed Chelsea’s new star and co-owner Todd Boehly in what has been a disappointing campaign for his former club. Boehly replaced Roman Abramovich in the summer and has already spent over £600m on players but that has not translated into success, with the Blues 11th in the Premier League following early exits from the domestic cups. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); They are still in the Champions League but face a tough test against Real Madrid – having just sacked Graham Potter after less than seven months and replacing him with Frank Lampard – who is their third manager of the season already. Some of the players signed under Boehly include Enzo Fernandez, who Chelsea smashed the British transfer record to sign in a £106.8m deal...

Eriksen snubbed Man Utd because of Juan Mata before Erik ten Hag intervened

Premier League
Christian Eriksen reportedly snubbed Manchester United transfer because of the treatment Juan Mata received before Erik ten Hag arrived and changed his mind. The Denmark international had been on United's radar for quite some time before the summer when they snapped him up on a free transfer after a short spell at Brentford. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Red Devils first registered an interest in Eriksen when he was plying his trade at Tottenham in 2019 and were trying to poach the midfielder then as his contract was beginning to wind down.
