FOOTBALL VIEWS

The draw for the Champions League knockout stages was made earlier today and there are some interesting ties to look forward to in the last 16 next month. This is what I think of the draw. Out of all the English clubs, Arsenal have the most winnable tie as they'll be facing Bayer Leverkusen who they should beat without too many problems.

The role of a keeper has definitely changed over the years as they're now being asked to use their feet an

Chelsea lack leaders I've been saying this about Chelsea for a while now and it was certainly evident in their draw with Burnley on Saturday. The goal they conceded was poorly defended as Zian Fleming was not marked or picked up by any Chelsea defender before he headed home the equaliser from the corner. The blues could've easily conceded two more goals from corners as their defending from both was poor because no one was marking or picking up the Burnley player who made the
