Frank Lampard and former Chelsea star Joe Cole believe a "lack of belief" among the players is one of the biggest issues affecting the Blues at the moment. Chelsea are 11th in the Premier League table and are facing huge battle if they are to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League, having lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); It was just Lampard's second match since returning as interim head coach after Graham Potter was sacked and Chelsea have not won any of their last five games in all competitions.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has been left frustrated by Graham Potter’s decision to leave Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang out of the club's Champions League squad.

Paul Scholes and Sir Alex Ferguson appear to have differing views on Manchester United's pursuit of Tottenham forward Harry Kane.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With that in mind, the Scotsman also told Erik ten Hag which area of the pitch he should improve earlier this season. Speaking after United's Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle in February, Ferguson analysed Marcus Rashford and said the burden of putting the ball in the net should not fall entirely on the 25-year-old's shoulders. "I don't think he's [Rashford] a striker," Ferguson told Sky Sports. "He operat...

Arsenal have not won a league game at Anfield in more tha...
