PIGO MANCHESTER UNITED DARREN FLETCHER NJE MPAKA MSIMU UJAO

 

Manchester United imethibitisha kuwa Darren Fletcher atakosekana kwa sehemu yote ya msimu iliyosalia kutokana na kulazimika kufanyiwa upasuaji kuondoa tatizo sugu la tumbo ambalo limekuwa likimsumbua.

Fletcher mwenye umri wa miaka 28 amekuwa akisumbuliwa kwa karibu miaka miwili na maumivu hayo kitaalamu yakitambuliaka kama 'ulcerative colitis' na United imesisistiza kuwa upasuaji huo ilikuwa ni sehemu ya mpango wao na kwamba hiyo itampa faraja hapo baadaye.

Kiungo huyo raia wa Scotland kwa mara ya mwisho kuonekana dimbani ilikuwa ni katika mchezo mchezo dhidi ya Newcastle United siku ya Boxing Day ambapo United ilishinda kwa mabao 4-3 ambapo aliingia akitokea benchi na kwa ujumla amecheza michezo 10 tu msimu huu baada ya kurejea mwezi kufuatia kuwa nje kwa miezi 10.

 

 Taarifa ya klabu imesema,

‘Darren Fletcher atakosekana kwa kipindi chote cha msimu kilichosalia kwani amefanyiwa upasuaji kuondoa tatizo lake la ulcerative colitis'. 

Fletcher amekuwa akisumbuliwa na tatizo hilo tangu March 2011 ingawa kufuatia kukosekana kwa kipindi kirefu hapo awali kulikuwa kunatafsiwa pengine anasumbuliwa na matatizo yanayosababishwa na virus. 

Baada ya kukosekana mwanzoni mwa kampeni ya kuanza msimu wa 2011-12, alirejea baadaye na kucheza michezo lakini baadaye tena akalazimika kupumzika kwa kipindi kirefu zaidi.

 Si tu United itakayo athirika na hilo bali pia hata Scotland ambayo amekuwa akiongoza kikosi cha timu ya taifa ya nchini hiyo kama nahodha na sasa ikiwa chini ya Gordon Strachan ikijiandaa na mchezo wa kirafiki dhidi ya Estonia na baadaye michezo miwili ya kuwania kufuzu kucheza fainali ya kombe la dunia dhidi ya Wales, Serbia na Croatia.

Hapa Fletcher akishangilia baada ya kufunga goli dhidi ya QPR mapema mwezi huu.

BAADA YA KUONA KUNA UHABA WA WASHAMBULIAJI LIVERPOOL WAKO KATIKA MPANGO WA KUMNASA SNEIJDER

.

 

Liverpool itaingia katika mbio za kumnasa Wesley Sneijder endapo kiungo huyo wa kimataifa wa Uholanzi atakubali kupunguza mahitaji yake makubwa ya mshahara anayotaka kwasasa.

ingawa Sneijder anaonekana hafanani na sifa za aina ya wachezaji ambao wamiliki wa Liverpool wa FSG wamekuwa wakiwalenga ambazo ni umri mkubwa wa miaka 28 na gharama ya mshahara wa pauni milioni 6 kwa mwaka lakini meneja wa klabu hiyo Brendan Rodgers ameonekana kumtamani kiungo huyo nguli.

Galatasary ndio klabu pekee kuonyesha nia ya kumtaka mchezaji huyo wa Inter Milan na sasa wanataka majibu ya mpango wa mchezaji huyo hii leo.

Sneijder anaonekana kuwa na wasiwasi juu ya kuelekea Uturuki na anadhani kuna haja ya kucheza soka karibu na nyumbani Uholanzi kutokana na sababu za kifamilia.

Inter italazimika kuachia aondoke kwa pauni milioni £6.2 lakini kuelekea Anfield itategemea na punguzo la mshahara uliotakiwa na Sneijder mwenyewe. 

Sneijder anafahamu kuwa masiha yake ya soka katika klabu ya Milan yanafikia mwisho mwezi huu lakini juu ya hatma yake ya baadaye amenukuliwa akisema.
Na hapa amenukuliwa na Gazzetta dello Sport akisema

'Tazama wachezaji wote ambao wako katika soko la uhamisho katika soko la wachezaji kipindi hiki wanaaamua nini cha kufanya kabla ya January 31, na mimi nitafanya hivyo o,'.

'sitaki kuharakisha na vilevile sitaki kuharakishwa.

'baada ya kila kitu kuwa kimekamilika sitaki kuwa katika fikra hizo za kulazimishwa kuchagua jambo la kimaisha.'

BAADA YA KUBANWA MBAVU NA SOUTHAMPTON MECHI YA KIPORO YABAINIKA KUWA BENITEZ NDIYE KOCHA BOMU ZAIDI KUWAHI KUTOKEA ZAMA ZA ABRAMOVICH

It's official. Rafa Benitez has endured the worst start to his tenure at Chelsea of all nine Roman Abramovich-era managers.

Many of Chelsea's dissenting fans may feel vindicated to know that the much-derided Spaniard has the worst record of the group with a paltry 56 per cent win rate at the club.

Although Andre Villas-Boas had the same win rate, Benitez has seen his side lose four games of the first 16 under his control, whereas the now Tottenham manager only lost three. 

It's official: Rafa Benitez has made the worst start to his career at Chelsea under Roman Abramovich

The special ones: Jose Mourinho (left) and Carlo Ancelotti each had a win rate of 81 per cent in their first 16 games at the helm 

Request: Chelsea fans have been opposed to Benitez since he replace Roberto Di Matteo

CHELSEA MANAGERS' FIRST 16 GAMES IN ABRAMOVICH ERA

Manager	Games	Wins	Draws	Losses	Goals for	Goals against	Win %
Claudio Ranieri	16	12	2	2	32	14	75
Jose Mourinho	16	13	2	1	26	4	81
Avram Grant	16	12	3	1	33	7	75
Felipe Scolari	16	11	3	2	37	7	69
Guus Hiddink	16	11	4	1	26	13	69
Carlo Ancelotti	16	13	1	2	37	10	81
Andre Villas-Boas	16	9	4	3	34	18	56
Roberto Di Matteo	16	11	4	1	37	14	69
Rafa Benitez	16	9	3	4	40	15	56

Perhaps unsurprisingly, according to the Opta stats, Jose Mourinho was the most successful in his early reign at Stamford Bridge.

The man they call the 'Special One' won an impressive 13 of his first 16 games (81 per cent). So too did the double-winning Italian Carlo Ancelotti, but he lost one more game than Mourinho in the early stages of his career in west London. 

Interestingly, Benitez's Chelsea have scored the most goals in his short spell in charge than any of the others, with an 8-0 home win over Aston Villa helping them on their way to an unsurpassed 40. 

Villas-Boas conceded the most goals in his first 16 games at the helm, as he watched his side let 18 goals in. Mourinho's Chelsea were incredibly stingy, conceding just four goals.

Benitez has been the subject of chants and banners from the Chelsea faithful, who have not hidden their disdain at his appointment after he replaced the Champions League-winning Roberto Di Matteo earlier this season. 

Previous bosses: Andre Villas-Boas (right) made a similarly poor start to his reign, as Felipe Scolari (left) won 11 of his first 16 games in charge 

Short spell: Guus Hiddink (right) had a relatively successful stint as Chelsea manager

Hero: Di Matteo was sacked despite delivering the Champions League to Roman Ambramovich

Shrugged off: Avram Grant lost only one of his first 16 games in charge after succeeding Mourinho

He and misfiring striker Fernando Torres have been targeted in recent weeks at Stamford Bridge after a string of disappointing results.

Any remaining title hopes for the Blues were left in tatters on Wednesday evening when Chelsea spurned a two-goal lead to allow Southampton back into the game to draw 2-2., leaving them 13 points behind leaders Manchester United.

Benitez did little to endear himself any further to the home support when he replaced crowd favourite Frank Lampard with Torres in the second half. 

Waving goodbye: Claudio Ranieri was in charge when Bramovich took charge of the club

Satisfied? Abramovich has had nine managers since taking control of Chelsea in 2003

Chelsea fans were also distraught to see the club's chances of winning the Capital One Cup decrease drastically as Swansea stunned the Blues with a 2-0 win at the Bridge on January 10. 

Worse still for Benitez, one of his four losses in charge came against west London rivals and Premier League basement boys Queens Park Rangers.

Benitez has found it extremely difficult to get results at Stamford Bridge and has only managed two victories from seven home games.

The interim manager is likely to be moved on by Abramovich in summer, but with top target Pep Guardiola snubbing the Russian billionaire's riches to move to Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich, it is unclear who will take charge if and when the former Liverpool boss departs. 

BENITEZ STRUGGLES TO FIND FORM AT HOME 

Chelsea have managed just two victories - albeit high-scoring ones - from their seven home matches in all competitions under Rafa Benitez, who has been jeered by Chelsea fans at every game.

It is now three matches since Chelsea last tasted victory at home and the natives are getting restless.

Ahead of Arsenal's visit to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, Sportsmail takes a look at Chelsea's home-sickness under Benitez.

November 28: Chelsea 0 Fulham 0 (Barclays Premier League)

Another uninspiring goalless draw from Chelsea, who toiled against a well-organised Fulham side. Benitez and Fernando Torres bore the brunt of the fans' frustrations.

January 2: Chelsea 0 QPR 1 (Barclays Premier League)

Chelsea's west London rivals QPR won at Stamford Bridge for the first time in two decades with a goal from former Chelsea midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips.

January 9: Chelsea 0 Swansea 2 (Capital One Cup, semi-final first leg)

Chelsea were punished for another poor performance and Benitez was showered with more abuse from the stands, mainly for not bringing on new striker Demba Ba, as Swansea took charge of the tie.

January 16: Chelsea 2 Southampton 2 (Barclays Premier League)
Chelsea were cruising at 2-0 with goals from Ba and Eden Hazard but they allowed relegation-battling Southampton to hit back and claim the draw.

On Thursday Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insisted that his side were not a one-man team and wholly reliant on hot shot Robin van Persie.

And now he has the stats to back it up as Sportsmail and Opta can reveal that United have a larger number of different goalscorers than any other club in the Barclays Premier League.

United lead the pack with 16 different scorers, ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City who have 14 and 13, respectively.

Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham are adept at spreading the goals around with 12 each, Norwich have 11, and Reading and Southampton have ten each.

Arsenal, Everton, Suderland,West Brom and Wigan will need to show improvement as they have just nine but five clubs, Aston Villa, Newcastle, QPR, Stoke and Swansea, are at the foot of the table with only eight different goalscorers.

The importance of Michu to the Swans, who has 13 of his team's 31 goals is underlined, while Harry Redknapp will be hoping £8million Loic Remy will bring QPR the goalscoring they have so desperately needed. 

The eight players who have scored for Redknapp's side only have 17 goals between them, Adel Taarabt leads the charts with just four.

Though the 29-year-old Dutchman has 21 goals this season, Ferguson is not worried that losing Van Persie would mean United are a shadow of themselves.

'I don’t go along with the idea we have become a one-man team,' he told United Review.

'There was a time in our history when one man did carry us for a while. 

'Eric Cantona kept us in contention with his goals when a few others were off the boil.

'But things are quite different now. Javier Hernandez has weighed in with 12 goals while Wayne Rooney is currently on nine.

'Two defenders, Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra, have chipped in with eight between them, while opposition players have gifted three own goals to the league leaders.

'So it doesn’t stand up to see us as a one-man band overly dependent on Van Persie, brilliant as he has been at both making and taking goals.'

Ferguson, however, does agree with his rival Manchester manager, Roberto Mancini, who said that Van Persie is making the difference this season.

'He is absolutely relishing his new challenge,' he said. 'He is the right player, at the right club, at the right time.

'He has a winning mentality, but as he points out, it is one that goes right through the squad and one that will hopefully see us push on in both league and the cups and successfully navigate what is a busy and challenging period.'

United face Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
