But we’re talking about Liverpool, we’re talking about a team that’s built, that’s so strong, with a wonderful coach, so of course no one needs to lose a player like that and obviously I wish him the most productive when I see this kind of injury, but it remains to be noticed how much it affects Liverpool.
VERY FRANK

“Everyone has to work hard physically to make sure they can play in combination and be more powerful in combination.
He continued: “I’m not entirely convinced through Chelsea right now, it’s like they don’t know each other, they don’t have enough compatibility, I’m very worried.

He said, “In other words, I probably testify of that. I played football where I enjoyed playing football and refused cash to stay where I was happy.
“My greatest driving force is probably betting on the national team. Now I have the same feeling with Dec: he’s incredibly proud to set up England.
“He will make his own decisions, but in West Ham we have the possibility of having an existing captain, Mark Noble, who has been here for several years and has shown wonderful loyalty to the club. “
“I like that Dec will be at West Ham in the coming years, leading the club to success. “

“Among the players we’ve recruited, some enjoy the Champions League more than others.
“We have more young players, so it’s vital that we check to make sure we’re informed as we go, because the Champions League is very fierce.
You have to have an absolute concentration by the point of groups you play, and especially when we start opposing Seville. “

Lampard’s admission comes after Chelsea was forced to deny accusations that there was a rift between the two.
Crazy barking

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder scored the winning goal in Villa’s 1-0 win at Leicester on Sunday night.
Without delay, he took over after his career to back off with the Blues.
Smith told Sky Sports: “He’s a very sensible player. I’m grateful to Chelsea for lending it to us.
“I sold him the allowance here and told him I’d take him to the Euros team and he’ll look for us to win football games. In fact, he did it in his first couple. “
“It couldn’t have been bigger. Being blue, winning this win and scoring against the Reds (in a 7-2 win before the foreign break) and then getting it in the 91st minute couldn’t have been a better start for him. “or for us.
HAK-IN ZIYECH

“We’ve tried to play too much and some of that has its roots in the players they need to play football.
“It’s anything. I’m not a big supporter of the upper tension because you can do anything to avoid the tension to raise the ball to the area and use the players at the other end of the area.
“It’s probably my greatest sadness that the players haven’t taken action. “
KEEP WITH KEPA
Frank Lampard will have goalkeeper Edouard Mendy back on the stick for Chelsea’s next two massive games.
