Former Chelsea striker Timo Werner has taken a swipe at his old boss Thomas Tuchel for ‘forgetting’ his success in Germany ahead of RB Leipzig’s Champions League clash with Manchester City. The German striker returned to Leipzig in the summer after an inconsistent two-year spell at Stamford Bridge. The 26-year-old admitted that he had to return to Germany to get his ‘enjoyment’ of football back, especially after Chelsea splashed out £98million on Romelu Lukaku despite Werner helping the Blues become European champions. Werner went from starting up front as Chelsea beat Man City 1-0 to win the Champions League in May 2021, to seeing Lukaku brought…

GRAHAM POTTER has the WORST record of any Chelsea manager in the Premier League. And it could soon get worse for the under-pressure gaffer as he prepares for a tough run of games. Of those matches, just five have been wins. And Potter has only managed to pick up two victories in his last 14 league outings. That leaves him with a dismal win percentage of just 29.4 per cent – lower than any other manager during Chelsea’s time in the Prem. Even misfits like Rafa Benitez, Luiz Felipe Scolari and Andre-Villas Boas recorded better win percentages during their spells at the…

Last season’s third-place finishers are winless in four league games, scoring just once in that run, and lost against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash. Former Brighton boss Potter was appointed by Boehly in September, with the owner acting quickly…

Among the usual chants echoing round Old Trafford on Sunday, fans of Manchester United could be heard singing the name of Benni McCarthy. It is rare for a member of a club’s backroom staff to be celebrated like this, but McCarthy is not your average coach. The 45-year-old South African has been widely credited with helping to revitalise Marcus Rashford’s career since joining Erik ten Hag’s staff last summer. United sources stress that McCarthy is just one of a number of key figures in Team Ten Hag, but the former Blackburn and West Ham striker was brought in specifically to…

Marcus Rashford became the first Manchester United player since Wayne Rooney to score in seven straight Premier League games at Old Trafford when he netted against Leicester on Sunday. The in-form forward struck found the net on the counter when his team were struggling in the first half before adding a second in the 3-0 victory.

For the seventh time in a row he scored in a home game, a feat last achieved by United legend Rooney.…

NO player personifies Liverpool’s decline from last season to the current campaign more than Joel Matip (£3.8m). The likeable Cameroonian centre-back finished 2021/22 with 236 points to his name, a tally bettered by only four defenders: Andy Robertson (£3.9m), Virgil van Dijk (£4.9m), Joao Cancelo and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£4.8m). As the cheapest member of the Reds’ first-choice back four, he was among Dream Team’s most endearing gems. This term, however, it’s no exaggeration to say he’s been one of the most disappointing flops. Matip contributed to a clean sheet in the Merseyside derby on Monday to bank five points but…

MO SALAH was once burst into tears at Chelsea after a tongue-lashing from then boss Jose Mourinho, says John Obi Mikel. Liverpool’s Egyptian superstar, 30, famously failed to make the cut at Stamford Bridge following his £11million arrival from Basel in 2014.

Salah scored twice in his first five Premier League games for Chelsea. But he failed to ever hit top form, and his emotions got the better of him one time after he was berated…
