Champions League Round up

It was an interesting match day 3 in the Champions League for our English teams. There were wins for Arsenal and Chelsea. Man City threw away a 2 goal lead to draw 2-2 in Russia and Liverpool were taught how to play football by the World's best.

The first game involving English teams was of course Man City's game in Moscow which was played behind close doors. City were two goals up after 63 minutes before CSKA came back and equalised through a controversial penalty.

No problems for Chelsea they sit at the top of their group with 7 points after a 6-0 win over Maribor but they have problems up front now. Remy and Costa expected to miss the weekend game at Old Trafford Chelsea fans I want to hear from you on my Champions League Q&A on twitter.

Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Real Madrid at Afield which leaves them 3rd in the group Ronaldo and Benzema with the European Champions's goals.

Arsenal came from 1-0 to win 2-1 Gibbs and Podolski scoring for them but it was not a convincing performance at all.

So its Q&A time now on twitter Chelsea fans I want to hear from you Remy and Costa doubts for Sunday at Old Trafford can you still win without them?

Liverpool fans the return to Europe has not gone well whats next? and Mario Balotelli is not living up is it time to drop him and give Lambert a run in the team?

City fans this will be the 3rd season out of 4 if you fail to meet the last 16 of the Champions League. If you don't get through and don't win the Prem will Manuel Pellegrini have to go?

And Arsenal fans just 2 wins in the Prem this season. You have not looked good at all yet is the title gone already? What does the season hold for you?

So its Q&A with me on twitter @AlexGrace12 COME ON!!!!!

EVERTON have sacked Sam Allardyce, with Marco Silva set to replace him at Goodison Park. Allardyce leaves Goodison after just 7 months in charge. Everton finished the season in 8th position in the Premier League table with 49 points, 12 fewer than they achieved last season. Allardyce met with the club's majority shareholder Farhead Moshiri this morning (Wednesday) where he was told that his services were no longer required. This is believed to be have been a decision that come from an Everton board meeting on Tuesday afternoon. It is believed that Allardyce will receive the vast majority of of the final 12 months of his contract which Sky Sports estimate is around £6m. A statement on the clubs website read: "On behalf of the chairman, board of directors and Mr Moshiri, I'd like to thank Sam for the job he has done at Everton over the last seven months.

Sacking Chris Hughton - Is it the right decision?

Another season has come to an end. This is the period where you will see managers come and go and players come in and depart clubs. The 2018/19 has now come to and end and Brighton finished in 17th place. I believe that if you had offered that to them most Brighton fans would have accepted a third successive season of Premier League football. Add onto that, The Seagulls also made the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Chris Hughton has paid the price for Brighton's poor form in 2019. This decision however, seems extremely harsh. Here is his overall record in charge of the club. Games: 215 Wins: 88 Draws: 57 Defeats: 70 That works out to a win percentage of around 40% that is not bad for a team that's budget is pennies compared to some in the Premier League. Brighton staying in the top flight is an achievement in its self and something that should not be looked over. Hughton took over at Brighton back in 2014 when the club was struggling at the bottom of t...

The second half the reaction of the players and the physical state in the last 15 minutes was very good because we had the best chances to win the game" "Starting the season with a draw away against Newcastle isn't a bad result bur normally, if we play our level we win the game.
