He cemented his lead, and at the top, he had 5 laps to go. We started to get quick. We should also be getting to you in much detail of what was happening. The facility that was launched 2 weeks ago by President Huru Kenyatta came to the Eastern Umewa Stadium. I think he really wants to win this game. Frank Lampard, because he has had these small performances in the cup and his last two Premier League games, but Crystal Palace are no slump, they're no workover, you see they had a great match against Everton last week, they just lost it, and they're flying at the start of the campaign, so I have my money on Chelsea, but Palace won't be a workover for any one. We'll further explore how much influence is he to this particular game. I think he's a very big influence, he's been named the captain for a couple of games, the one at Old Trafford and also the one last week, and he's their best player, he's always wanted by big clubs around Europe, some say PSG, some say if Sancho leaves he might replace him at Dortmund. He's always been the biggest player who wants the most, he always has great performances, can run with the ball a very long distance, can win penalties, and he's also a good leader in a way that he leads by example for most of the players. What is the problem at Stamford Bridge? I tend to believe that people are heaping much blame on Frank Lampard, it's just three games since the league commenced and football fans have already started saying that Frank Lampard is very incompetent, despite the signings he made, I think over seven signings he made during the just concluded transfer window, actually it's getting concluded on Monday. So what is really happening? Too early to blame Lampard? Yeah for me I'd say it's too early because you look back at the last time they won the league with Antonio Conte, they didn't start strong and that brought in a couple of great players, Golo Conte was coming into that team, there were a couple of good players, they didn't play well, they had a small match against Arsenal when they were starting but at the end they won the league and it's only been three games for them. Okay they haven't performed well, especially the Liverpool one was okay, they had a red card and stuff but the West Pro one they didn't perform well, there were some uncharacteristic mistakes from big players Thiago Silva and yeah they can happen but they shouldn't be happening at Chelsea. And so going forward they've already played three games, moving from today I think Chelsea should, the players should gel better, they should work better together and try to bring more results because they have signed pure quality, great players, none of the players is power whatever because you've seen they've also brought in a new keeper who had a great debut against Tottenham. So the players they've brought in are pure quality and I expect them to work together and Chelsea will finish strong this season so it's too early to really judge Frank Lampard at the moment. What are your take home points from that particular draw? Yeah that was scary for United fans you know because you have to play a team which went into the semifinal and one which actually went into the final and lost by a slim margin of one into the great bad Munich and United coming in, they finished third in the league we thought that the team was going to get the big signings that we wanted, the flare signings but we haven't until now United have only signed one player and when you sit down and compare it to the, for example Paris is the biggest team in that club, you compare it to the depth of Paris, you'll just be shocked at how United are, we're even scared to play against Leipzig at this moment because we don't feel like the squad is big enough to have all these players to have all these games against these big clubs in such a short period of time. And also it's the Champions League we have the dark horses Istanbul Basak Sekhir, you know we've seen some great performances from smaller teams in the Champions League there was Roma, Ajax, there's also Leon and you never know this the Champions League so Istanbul is also a sport where people might want to see but we still remain hopeful this is United we can get it done. Is it a smooth sailing for the defending champions Bayern Munich after getting pulled alongside Atletico Mardit Salzberg and Lokomotiv Moscow in group A, how easy is it for them to get to the next stage because think as it looks like they only have big opponent in Atletico which has not been doing equally good. Yeah they only have to play Atletico the biggest club in that group and you look at Salzberg and Lokomotiv Moscow, they are also strong clubs in that Salzberg last season they had a great run in the group stages although they didn't make out of it they had Haaland, Binamino they were a good club but when you compare them right now they've lost their biggest stars to Bayern and Atleti it's hard to see them making it past the group stage and the same goes for Moscow. Okay they also met Atletico last time they gave me a bit trouble but Atletico went through so for that group I can predict Bayern and Atleti going through in that order. Inter Milan look said to play against Real Madrid and I think that would be a crunch march because Antonio Conta up against Zinadine Zidane and that would be a competition beating clubs from dominant football nations Italy and Spain but in that particular group as well we have Shakhtar Doneski and Munchen Gladbach easy for Inter and Real to cruise through. I'd say easy for Real but Inter in the Champions League the past two seasons they've had inconsistent performances I remember the first game last season they drew one one with a team from Czech Republic and they did manage to play well against Dortmund so for Real I think they'll make it easily through the group but Inter I'd like to see them they've brought in some fapa there's Hakimia's coming and Kolarov. I think we just have to wait and see them play. Shakhtar is also a tricky team to play against it's always in the Champions League they always qualify they always offer big upsets in Europe sometimes but for Inter they need to be on their game and they need to play well to actually go past that group. Porto a team from Portugal one time Champions League win and I think the only time they did that was under the trilogy of Jose Mourinho in group C alongside Manchester City which got eliminated at the quarter final stage of last season's campaign Olympiacos from Greece and Marcel from France are also in that particular group. Tricky though manageable? Ya for City I don't think that's Tricky for Man City in the Champions League they always seem to get these kinds of draws they always have no big names in the groups for the past three seasons I think they've played Shakhtar Donetsk last season they had Atalanta they were beating teams 5 nila they were sailing through smooth so for them I think the real competition will be against the other three teams and I see Porto making it through because they also missed the round of 16 last season only in three seasons. So for City as a united one as fans of other English clubs we think City and Chelsea have the easiest draws and they can sail it to the round of 16 without any big problems. Group D has got six time Champions League winners Liverpool and 2019 conquerors and Ajax Amsterdam is also included in that particular group and we all remember them for their heroic exploits during 2019-2020 campaign. They got eliminated at the semifinal stage and I think that's the time we got to see these names that have been hijacked by other clubs who have really engaged in hiring players from that particular side leading to Exodas the likes of ZH and you know Vande Bik joining United. I think Barcelona also signed someone, De Jong, Delict joining Juventus. So Liverpool up against Ajax at Atalanta as well in that particular group after surprising many contrary to expectation they performed very well during the just concluded campaign and mid-deet land. Yeah mid-deet land is also in that particular. Yeah I think what we can expect from Liverpool, Ajax and Atalanta are goals because you look at Atalanta last season they beat teams like the BTC Milan 5-0. They are never afraid of going forward. They always attack even with the centre-backs at the sides of the three. They always attack, they always score a lot of goals and we know Liverpool, they have player-players, they have some of the greats, Mo Salah, Jota now, Mane, they can score goals and Ajax they always even though their big names have left. You know they have a good youth system, they always seem to bring new great players every time and we can't wait to see who will step up for Ajax this time because I think they will finish second or first depending on how Liverpool actually play. They can choose to like maul all of them and go over all of them but Ajax will offer the biggest challenge for Liverpool. I am not right enough at Atalanta but I think when they attack, if you want to play football and attack a team like Liverpool it will really hurt you because they have one of the greatest ever attacks in football. So the experts of Europa League and specialists of the same severe, of course by the virtue of winning Europa League I think they qualified for Champions League and they have won it three times running. Ya, they won it three times running and then they won it last year, this year against Inter Milan then they eliminated Man United. So up against Chelsea in that particular group, Krasnoda as well and Ren from France. Easy for Sevilla and Chelsea? Easy for Sevilla and Chelsea but I won't be shocked if Sevilla drop out and head into the Europa League. They have something in that competition but looking at the strength of the squad, Chelsea should absolutely work over this group and make it to the round of 16. Reina from France it's a tricky team, I'd say that's the tricky team. Krasnoda isn't quite in the same milk as the other three clubs but if Chelsea play well they'll top the group and the other two teams will have to battle for second. Okay, Group F has got Zenit, St. Petersburg, Borussia Dortmund, Lazio and Glabd Rouge Belgium champions. What are the permutations of two teams from that particular group qualifying to the next stage because they look like all of them have same strengths? Ya, those are the kinds of tricky groups because you find all the teams are evenly matched. People might think Dortmund is way ahead but we also have Lazio. You might think are way ahead but at the same point Zenit are the champions of Russia. So when you look at a table like that one it's hard to predict who's coming out of that group. If Dortmund lose a couple of players in the coming three days it might be hard for them because the other three teams are coming to play and they have nothing to lose. We are already in the champions league, let's see how far we can go. So they'll try to give their all and actually beat Dortmund. But Dortmund are currently with Sancho Haaland, I expect them to finish top and make it to the round of 16 easily. Group G, what do you think of the revival of competition that existed between Ronaldo and Messi. Now Messi will be up against Ronaldo as Juventus and Barcelona have been pulled in the same group. I think alongside Dynamo Kia. Right now the two clubs are going through the same thing. They've lost a couple of players, new managers coming in. They expect a lot from the players and especially Bassa. Bassa they've let go of some players who I think were still good, could have helped the club. Like they sold Artur to Juve and now they'll meet again with Pyanich. So I think it will be a tricky tie. I'm not so sure who will win it. They both have strong stats to the campaign. Ronaldo looks great, Messi is on fire, continue. But at the end of the day everyone will just come down to Messi vs Ronaldo once again after a couple of years. Not the L-class eco anymore but the biggest club in Italy vs one of the two biggest clubs in Spain, Bassa vs Juve. It will be a crazy tie. But for me I don't think Juve have enough quality, enough world-class players around Cristiano. Maybe one or two but Barcelona they are star studded, they have big players and I'd expect them to top that group even if Juventus are there. I don't think Juventus are really quite that good at this at the moment right now. So let's discuss the last group which has been branded the pool of death which has got united and Paris and Jemain. And I saw a thread done by Marcus Rashford on Twitter on how Romeo Lulukaku was so resourceful to their campaign, especially against Paris and Jemain during that champions league tie where they managed to win 3-2 aggregate to qualify to the next stage. Will he be lucky to be of much influence to United again? Marcus Rashford has been praised for his good work on and off the pitch. I think Rashford is one of United's key players. When you think of United you think of the attack last season especially at the back end Bruno, Marcus, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood. We haven't had champions league football that much but coming in we've seen how they've played in the Premier League. They had 17 gold cement Anthony Martial and they've won at Juventus in the Champions League and they've won at PSG. And I think the best thing about having a young squad is that they really want to play. They have a lot of hope in them. They know even if this is a big club we can still go out and give our best and we might win. Also if you look at United's record and Ole against big clubs it's actually quite good we beat CT last three times last season, Chelsea we did away with them and he also beat PSG at their home in that crazy game. So going forward I think Marcus Rashford will be crucial but the most crucial in that group will be United's defense because if we can't concede I think United can score. So the provisional squad for England three Lions ahead of their campaign against Wales, Denmark and Belgium. We've seen new names Calvit Lewin has been in good form for Everton. He's been scoring goals and I think he's enjoying his form under Carlo Angelotti at the Toffees. He's been included and so he's having bans of Leicester and Bukaya circle of Arsenal. But Mason Greenwood after that incident have been dropped. Deserving collapse for these three? I think the one I'd have out is I'd have Greenwood and Foden in and actually have heavy bans in Saka out not because they are bad players but I think Greenwood and Foden they've done it a long time at CT and United. They've been playing regularly and they've got a certain amount of goals and they've played in Europe. So leaving them out because of a mistake I believe they already punished for when they didn't get to play the second in it. I think there are still kids who can just be advised to do what's right and what's wrong. That's enough. But still with Bukaya Saka who is great at moving with the ball a really good player. I think a lot of people are happy to see him. I'm also happy to see him get his call up because I think he's a really good player and heavy bans is a real hard work. He works a lot for Leicester. He might not get a lot of goals and all of that but he works a lot alongside everybody. He's a good player. Kalvatluen he's just been amazing at the start of the season. Two hard tricks already and he's very good in the air. So let's see how they do. Jadon Sancho United is not actively involved in the transfer and they are being ridiculed, being mocked by the opponents because we've seen most clubs getting actively involved in strengthening their squads as the campaign for European leagues continues. But again 100 million pounds bid for Jadon Sancho has been rejected by Borusia Dortmund but we saw reports yesterday from Jami Radnab saying that that deal might go through in the next few hours before the transfer window clocks Monday. How possible? Yeah for now I don't think it's possible because a lot of people had their hopes. The moment United finished third we thought Sancho is signed and sealed. We are getting our man but it hasn't happened for the past ever since July it hasn't happened yet. And also you look at the amount of money United have been trying to offer. They are under Dortmund's valuation of 120 million that's what they want it upfront but United keep coming with the new and different ways to pay up and I think they'll still do that and that's why Dortmund won't sell. But I've seen they want to go for a couple of options. I've seen Usman Dembele who I think is also a really good player but very injured. And there's also Ismail Sa from Watford whom I don't want to see much United. We really prefer Sancho though. Why did you want to see Sa? He's a good player. He's very good but looking at the other two names Dembele and Sancho in that list you have to pick who will give more to United who will a really top player. And I think it's either Sancho or Dembele. What else? I think we discussed about what happened during midweek. Several matches were played. Totenham beat Chelsea in post march penalties to qualify to the next stage of Karabao Cup United also recorded a win against a team that had caused them sleepless nights in Premier League Brighton. I don't know which match did you watch yourself? I watched both for Chelsea and for Man United. Chelsea I think they should have taken a lot of their chances. Totenham in the first half were nowhere to be seen. Chelsea they had better players on the pitch. Totenham more or less had their second string hurricane was on the bench. I'd say only La Mela was a top player in that pitch but Chelsea didn't capitalize. They equalized in 80-something minutes. They got to penalties and Miss on Mount. A person who lamped really, really, really loves misses the penalty and Totenham were through. Mourinho was so excited. And for United against Brighton it wasn't quite what happened at the Premier League because both teams rolled out more of their second string so it wasn't as explosive as on Saturday. But you know United had a better depth, stronger squad from the bench. Guys like Matcha they came through and it was a great finish. 3 nil into the quarters so let's say it goes. But also we had Liverpool vs Arsenal which was in the 90 minutes was disappointing because Liverpool and Arsenal hasn't nil nil. But they got to the penalties and that's it. Arsenal win it. And Ben Leno was so excited after saving a penalty and there was huge praise for him from both managers Mikaela and Juken Klopp and he says that he felt he was the number one custodian at Arsenal. I think before Emiliano was he called Emiliano Martinez before he left I think Leno was a little bit terrified because he knew his place was up for grabs. How do you assess his performance in that particular game? He had a great performance. A couple of saves were absolutely world class and then he goes on to the penalty shootout and does his thing. He was Arsenal's best player in the pitch and I think for a couple of games he's been Arsenal's best player. He's very good at making reflex saves and playing the ball with his feet for a goalkeeper. You know that's usually a great thing these days. So he does those things very perfectly. The downside to him is as good as he is I feel kind of sad for him being around all these years at Leverkusen at Arsenal and not being able to get a really run in the German national team. So that's the only downside to his career but as a goalkeeper he's strong, he makes great saves and he's also a good ball player so Leno deserves all the praise. So this afternoon's fixture Chelsea up against Crystal Palace as we speak 19th minute stills call as Everton will be playing host to Brighton. Quite a good clash as well but Carl Angelotti will re-allow his charges to draw points following his good form of late. Yeah I don't, Chelsea look, Everton look really strong but when you look at Brighton this season they've come, they're playing a certain type of football that is so exciting. They aren't afraid to go for it. You saw them against Chelsea and also against United. They have all these big names but if we play the ball and keep it we can beat them. And they'll look at Everton as much as they are playing. They are not quite united Chelsea so they look at it as a game which we can win so that's a very tasty clash. We are, I was forgetting before we wind up the show, let's talk about we are. I once interviewed Francis Kimansi the coach for the national team around the stars and he told me we are is robotic, it slows down the pace of the game. You remember that action between United and Brighton, the game had ended, a final whistle had been blown then we are action indicated that United had to take a pen and come on. Yeah I think that's the day and age we live in you know. The game has evolved obviously now they are using the video referee and regarding that incident I think if there was no VR it would have been missed because the guy seemed to push his… So VR is helpful. Yeah for me it is helpful. It's the rules that govern it that should be checked because sometimes you might consider a goal which you should have considered, the offsides I think those are justifiable but some calls like the handball calls we've been seeing recently. They haven't been quite correct I would feel but that one for United was correct not just because I'm a fan but Maupay pushed his arm towards the ball and even though the whistle went VR spotted it and United was able to get what they deserved really. But you look at another handball call during the week Eric Daya when he missed the ball and then it was headed by Andy Carroll from behind him as he was going down the motion of his hands and it hit his arm and they gave a penalty for something which he could have controlled. Yeah those are the sad calls, the handball calls. So for me it's the handball rules and other nitty gritties about clear and obvious errors that have to be sorted but I'm okay with VR. Tomorrow it looks like a Super Sunday in the world of athletics London Marathon joining football Tottenham up against United Jose Mourinho my guy. You saw his antics on the touchline with Frank Lampard though they both of them downplayed the rift between themselves. Now up against the team he coached sometime back United. What is your assessment? Where are you putting your money? Are you just remaining a supporter? Hoping United will cruise through. Yeah I'm going to put my money. Not hoping they cruise through. I think United they are a lot better than Spas although they have made good signings. I think United should win this game because I feel like okay they played twice last season and United didn't look really weak. Tottenham were sat back and that's exactly what they are going to do you know. Jose thinks he is going to have because he knows United when they go forward they are really strong. So he looked to capitalise on their somehow shaky defence Lindelof and the left backside so they will try to capitalise on that while sitting back. And it's also a super game in that these two teams are the two of the top six at Old Trafford obviously it's a big game. Two managers United. Jose will always want to prove something against people who may have doubted him and is going to Old Trafford again. I think they would have won it if Belos fit but let's see how it goes because Son will also be out I think. Quite a fantastic interview with Ken Andrew. Very robust indeed in terms of his analysis and support on giving his remarks and opinions as far as matters. English Premier League football and the fixtures and major headlines in the world of international football is concerned. It's been quite an epic one. I think for the last mania or alcoholic assistant producer will make sure the links are on and we get to see this after the show. And let's continue the conversation on and offline at Waseke Maxwell at Touchline Y254 channel. Let's just discuss and exchange views with regards to what happens in the world of football. And we hoping that it will be, you know, matches full of goals this particular evening. City against Leeds, where you putting your mania also? Looking forward that Leeds will pull a surprise? Nah, City will win it. City will wake up from this lamp after a demolition against Leista City last weekend. It's been an honor having you but thank you for watching the show until next time. Same time, same place. My name is Maxwell Waseke. Have a good afternoon.
