Hector Bellerin: We must take the chains off and start talking

Hector Bellerin: «We must take the chains off and start talking» When Hector Bellerin saw Danny Rose recently open up about his battle with depression, he could only applaud the England international's honesty and bravery. Our right-back feels that footballers need to start speaking out more and push the issues that most affect them, and this is what he told Arsenal Media: on why more footballers don’t speak out… There’s all sorts of issues. I feel like the football industry is an industry where we have to be really quiet and play. I think the code around it is that footballers can’t really do anything else other than kick a ball. This is kind of the stereotype, so when there’s a footballer who’s stepping out of the box he’s always seen as someone that is not focused enough on football because he’s doing this, he’s doing that. As I always say, we have so much time and we’re humans so we have issues and worries. We should push these things. I think in America they’re more adv...

Simon Mignolet: We'll learn from defeat and go again on Saturday

Mignolet: We'll learn from defeat and go again on Saturday Simon Mignolet believes Liverpool can learn from the Carabao Cup loss to Chelsea and factor elements into their preparations ahead of the teams meeting again in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge this weekend. The Reds exited the tournament at the third-round stage on Wednesday night following a 2-1 defeat by the Blues at Anfield, with late strikes from Emerson and Eden Hazard cancelling out Daniel Sturridge’s opener. The sides will clash once more on Saturday evening as Jürgen Klopp’s men will look to bounce back by extending their advantage over Chelsea to five points in the fledgling table - and Mignolet feels the post-match analysis at Melwood in the next few days can prove beneficial in helping Liverpool ready themselves for the challenge of trying to clinch a victory in London. He told: “I think we didn’t deserve to go out of the competition. We had enough chances to win the game and go forward, but unfortunat...

Arteta on the win, Saka, Nketiah: Press conference

Arteta on the win, Saka, Nketiah: Press conference Mikel Arteta was a happy man after we secured our third win under him to reach the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup. Afterwards, he faced the media to discuss the victory, our youngsters' performances, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and more. This is what he said: on making it to the fifth round... I am very pleased.

I'm very pleased because I saw a lot of things that I really liked. on the injury to Mustafi... They're going to assess him between today and tomorrow but when a player has to come off, normally with a central defender - hopefully I am wrong but - normally it's not good news. on whether it makes a move for Pablo Mari more necessary... No. We had a very clear intention of what we wanted to do in the market with the resources we have and if we can do it, fine. But his fitness [Mustafi's fitn...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd boss says there is no quick fix

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd boss says there is 'no quick fix' at Old Trafford Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says there is no "quick fix" to improve his squad. Pressure is mounting on Solskjaer to make January signings after Wednesday's 2-0 home defeat by Burnley. It was a second straight Premier League loss and the players were jeered. "We've had one proper transfer window and we're trying to do something now," said Solskjaer, who took over - initially on an interim basis - in December 2018. During the summer transfer window, United spent over £130m on defenders, bringing in Harry Maguire from Leicester City and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Crystal Palace, and also signed winger Daniel James from Swansea City. Solskjaer referenced the squad-building at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge in October 2015, with the Reds now 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League and the reigning European champions.

Southampton 0 Chelsea 3 | Report (Premier League)

Report: Southampton 0 Chelsea 3 Eden Hazard’s eighth goal of the season, Ross Barkley’s first in a Chelsea shirt and Alvaro Morata's second strike in four days secured a comfortable victory at St Mary’s this afternoon. The Blues were mostly dominant on the South Coast, but it might have been a different story had Danny Ings converted a golden opportunity when the game was goalless. The league’s topscorer Hazard made the Saints pay on the half-hour after fine work from Barkley, and it was the recently called-up England man who doubled our advantage shortly before the hour to open his Chelsea account. A stunning fingertip save from Kepa Arrizabalaga late on preserved the clean sheet, our fourth of the league campaign, before sub Morata dinked home from Hazard's pass. It rounded off a very successful day indeed ahead of the international break. Maurizio Sarri made a solitary change to the side that started against Liverpool last weekend, bringing in Barkley for Mateo Kovaci...
