'With his technical supremacy, physical gifts and all-round brilliance, there ought to be barely contained excitement at what he can become under Graham Potter.' Reece James is a winner...
. Or something. It was a performance that won’t be screamed quite as loudly, nor from such towering rooftops, but Reece James rose to the occasion and proved why he is trusted for his country as much as he is for his club.
The Nerazzurri had lost every game when put up against sides of actual quality. Lazio, Milan and Udinese all put three past them, Bayern Munich barely broke a sweat and Jose Mourinho watched his Roma side raid the San Siro from a van in the parking lot. Estoril were reduced to 10 men in the 77th minute while leading the Portuguese giants, who proceeded to equalise deep into stoppage-time. Braga’s hopes of a comeback were extinguished when Matheus received a red card at 3-1 down in a game Porto went on to win 4-1. And Leverkusen’s capitulation was confirmed with Jeremie Frimpong’s frustration-soaked second yellow as the hosts led 2-0.
Diego Carlos and Jules Kounde were their first-choice centre-halves in 2021/22. Both were sold and replaced painfully inadequately; Sevilla have subsequently conceded 21 goals so far this campaign. A popular manager has lost his job as a result.It requires immense effort not to win a Champions League group game with Robert Lewandowski at your disposal. Before this season, the Pole had won 15 such matches straight while scoring 22 goals in that sequence.
As it is, Xavi has spent enough on transfer fees and wages to make pointing the finger elsewhere for their failures seem utterly laughable. One win in his first five Champions League games as a coach is frankly pathetic for the level of trust and investment he has been granted. After a seven-game winning run to start Schreuder’s tenure, Ajax have been beaten by Liverpool, lost to AZ, drawn with Go Ahead Eagles and now been hammered by Napoli. The last time the Dutch giants went four straight games without a win was August 2017, in their first weeks under the similarly inexperienced Marcel Keizer; he was sacked by that December.
