We sold Robben to Real Madrid, Chelsea didn't want to or need the money. But he didn't want to be there and wanted to go. There are some moments where motivation affects performance and it is difficult to keep players happy when they have other dreams. Could Mourinho move a large number of players on in January?Getty Images 08:30: Morning all.
You either accept the plan or want to play constantly and be disruptive, which will just be miserable for everybody. Luiz would have been really disappointed with his performance against Manchester City but he has played since, helped keep clean sheets against Southampton, Norwich and Wolves, and that's all he can do. He just needs to keep working hard and try to adapt. Luiz needs to adapt his game now Arsenal signed David Luiz from Chelsea for £8m in August 2019Luiz was thrown in at the deep end when he came on as a substitute against City.
Getty Images It was through an Areola gaffe that the opening goal came, first parrying an Isak shot from distance before allowing an Odegaard effort from the rebound to squeeze between his legs when he should have made the comfortable save. Ramos hit the woodwork from a Brahim cross into the middle while Isak had chances at the end of the half to double Real Sociedad’s advantage heading into the break.
After a disappointing campaign in the Premier League last term, Fulham would've been hoping to do better and to ultimately bounce straight back to the big time. As they currently sit in 3rd place, they're not far off being positioned to achieve their goals, though it's looking more and more likely that their route will be through the play-offs.
Chelsea's Willian became the first player in Premier League history to score in all 12 calendar months in the competition. Willian has scored in back-to-back Premier League appearances for Chelsea for only the second time, and the first since October 2015. The Brazilian was the first player to score both a direct free-kick and a penalty in the same Premier League game since Cesc Fabregas also did so for Chelsea against West Ham back in March 2016.
It is going to be hard for him to achieve those ideals with the squad he has got, and in what will probably be a limited timeframe, but he has got to try. If it is going to happen, it is not just down to him - there is going to have to be a shift in mentality from the Arsenal players. By that - and I am obviously speaking as an ex-defender here - I mean a realisation by the players of what is required when they are not in possession, and also a willingness to actually go and do it too.
Only one of the last five meetings between these teams didn't feature a red card. Galatasaray have only lost one of their 10 home matches in the Super Lig.

He was known for his technical ability and composure, but not for his bustling physical style - qualities that often led to people suggesting he did not work hard enough. Everybody is different in the way they see the game and play. My difference was that sometimes you would see I might not be into the game but at the same time I was scanning the pitch to see where to position myself at the right moment, at the right time in a pocket of space, and you can give me the ball so that I have more time to myself and not have someone on my back.
Fabinho coming on was very important for the organisation. Sadio was fresh and he helped us to win the game, which was outstanding. I have to watch the goal back but I'm pretty sure it was a fantastic finish," added Klopp. I could tell in all the players faces that they weren't nervous, they were enjoying it, and if one team was going to score it was going to be us.
It's a wonderful experience. We went on to win bronze in that tournament, which meant there was a big influx of investment afterwards, enabling the game in this country to become professional. I don't think we really realised the impact it had when we were in Canada because of the time distance. It only hit me when I got home and went to surprise my niece, who was at primary school. I had a jacket on and my medal hidden underneath but when I walked into the playground I got mobbed! That was the moment I thought, 'wow'.
Seven of Atletico's 13 visits to England have ended as draws (W2 D7 L4), with Los Colchoneros unbeaten in their last four matches there (W1 D3) since that Liverpool defeat in April 2010.

Alfredo Morelos is a 10-part Netflix series unto himself. When his team needed him most on that run-in, he collapsed. In his last nine games he didn't score once. That's 12 hours without a goal for a proven goalscorer. That's not an issue of talent, it's an issue of mentality. Gerrard has signed too many players who are not made of the right stuff. They won five of their last 10 games. They lost against Hearts, Kilmarnock and Hamilton, drew with Aberdeen and St Johnstone, and and got over the line by a single goal against St Mirren, Hibernian, Livingston and Ross County.
Troy Deeney scored twice as Watford overcame a red card to Adrian Mariappa to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in a big game at the bottom of the table. Watford were leading 1-0 when Adrian Mariappa was shown a second yellow card in the 57th minute for upending Villa's Henri Lansbury, although replays suggested he did not make contact in an attempt to win the ball.
Leicester held off a spirited second-half effort from Championship promotion chasers Brentford to reach the FA Cup fourth round in the final tie to be held at Griffin Park. Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal of the game after just four minutes when he tapped in a cross from full-back James Justin, who had been found by Dennis Praet's superb raking pass. Leicester were the better team in the first half and Ayoze Perez should have doubled their lead when he was sent clear by Iheanacho but Bees keeper Luke Daniels made a good save to deny him.
CFR Cluj have been the strongest home team in the league with a 11-2-0 record so far. They are the only team without a home defeat this season and with only 2 goals conceded, they also have by far the best defense at home.
Brazilian pair Deyverson and Kenedy scored in each half for Getafe against Ajax.

In other matches, Daichi Kamada scored a hat-trick to help Eintracht Frankfurt to a 4-1 win over coach Adi Huetter's former club RB Salzburg.

Masr clearly aren't going to be a huge force at this level and have just 7 points from 9 matches thus far but a degree of confidence can at least be taken from their solid nature as hosts. Indeed, Masr have lost just 1 of their last 5 home games across all competitions and having conceded just once across said fixtures, are clearly a tough nut to crack.

We're ready and I'm sure Portsmouth are ready as well. Walking around the city for the past few days, I can feel it's ready for it, too. Oxford have not played in the English second tier since their relegation from the then Division One in 1998-99. Robinson added: "There's still a pandemic going on outside of football and at times you forget that when you see the games on television. But, we're still respectful of what goes on around us and we're just sad people can't be in the stadium to watch us play.
Bilbao's draw against Los Blancos was definitely a step in the right direction in terms of their efforts on the road, but they will do well to take anything from this Matchday 19 contest against a Sevilla side in fine form overall.
It is clear Jose Mourinho’s side has struggled defensively but going forward the team has done well; they have failed to score in just one of the last nine home matches.

This time he denies Benzema from point-blank range. WHAT A SAVE! Navas pulls off another sensational stop. Isco meets a low cross six yards out and wrong-foots the goalkeeper, but Navas stretches out a hand as he's falling down and tips the ball wide. GOAL! Real Madrid 2-0 PSG (Benzema). Marcelo is afforded space on the left and he floats a cross towards Benzema, who heads downwards and past Navas to likely seal the win.
Saint-Étienne's home form could give the fans a sliver of hope but it isn't incredible and the team will still need to put in their best performance of the season if they want to take points off the champions. Les Verts are unbeaten in their seven matches at the Geoffrey Guichard under Puel but with four of these being draws, there is still a lot of work to be done. They do have three clean sheets in their last four home games though and this should be a somewhat difficult obstacle for PSG to deal with.
This was supposed to be a big year for football on the Isle of Man. Having applied to join the North West Counties League, where Fleetwood Town were champions 15 years ago on their climb to League One, FC Isle of Man were hoping to compete in English football's non-league system in 2020-21. The community club, based on the island in the Irish Sea famous for hosting the annual TT international motorcycling event, was founded in 2019 with big ambitions.

On first inspection, his appointment looked, well, poorly judged, but, on reflection, perhaps he was the best man for the job. He has in the latter stages of his career shown an appetite and acumen for constructing cohesive team structures at clubs - Real Madrid and PSG - that have put limited thought into creating cohesive team structures through their transfer business.
Poor defending allowed Lewis Dunk to equalise before Neal Maupay scored the winner for Brighton in the fifth minute of added time. I know we have a young squad but we threw the game away," said Arteta. I am very frustrated. It is unacceptable the way we lost the game. We had to put it to bed earlier.
