It is not worth giving Pochettino a longer chance because anyway, if for example until the end of this year or it can be said that until halfway through the season Pochettino still cannot restore Chelsea's performance. Then obviously, I believe Pochettino will be fired, because basically Pochettino has a very good time to build Chelsea. But what happened was a complete failure, because when a coach has enough time to prepare before starting the season at that time, the coach should have succeeded in making good preparations for the team. But what happened to Pochettino until now for Chelsea, is clearly a failure and worse than Potter.
There was 6 rounds played in which Chelsea won once, got 2 draws and 3 defeats. They received more goals than what they scored. The only positive match was vs Liverpool where they got a draw in the beginning of the season, we all thought that Chelsea is getting better then negative results followed quickly. I blame Pochettino also for defeats and points loss but also players and staff. The dysfunction in this club is getting more obvious throughout years no matter how much they spent to fix it. Just imagine losing today vs Brighton in EFL Cup and leaving it that early.. |

With this video, Calenda's agent is considering suing Napoli. As for other news, Victor Osimhen's Instagram account has also deleted all his posts related to Napoli. It seems that now the relationship between the two is on the brink and it is possible that with this problem, Victor Osimhen could leave in the winter.
Missing a penalty, missing points or anything that could occur in a game including red card or whatever should remain in the field and analysed and treated accordingly. It doesn't make sense to joke their best player so he is thinking about taking them to justice. Everyone is losing in this nonsense. Even the other players will receive a bad message about the treatment they will have once they miss something. Not sure if Osimhen will be in the starting eleven in today's game against Udinese but news are expecting him to be there. |

Napoli is suffering in every aspect during this season.They are not being able to show the quality they have in most likely because of internal problems at the team,the win against Braga was a bit lucky and of course was due to the fact that the difference of quality in leagues between Serie A and Primeira Liga are relevant and substantial.
Osimhen is not being able to show his skills and I don't know but I believe it is because of internal problems in the team,his treatment should have been better of course,nevertheless playing with Napoli in the Champions League can be a good window to show off his skills.
Napoli victory vs Braga in Champions League was the only victory they have from their last victory in August vs Sassuolo in Serie A.. Napoli have 8 points and scored 5 goals after 5 rounds. In Champions League, their group isn't easy with Real Madrid getting a spot for sure and they have to pick the other one from Union Berlin which aren't good in their league too. We were waiting a lot from Napoli this season but it seems they dropped in performance comparing to the previous one. Selling Osimehn and buying new players might be a good choice that was missed this summer. |

Bolivia does have the advantage of being at an altitude above 3000 meters above sea level. La Paz Stadium is an additional strength for the Bolivian National Team. However, I think this is not a problem for the South American team because Bolivia's strength ranking is very far below other South American teams. We can see Bolivia appearing in the world cup a long time ago. If the Bolivian team was strong enough like Brazil or Argentina then they will definitely not lose any game in La Paz. There was times where playing in high altitude was prohibited then it was reversed. Players suffer a lot from high altitudes. Bolivia will face Ecuador in October 13, their records are 0 points with -7 goals, the worst in the table. |

Juventus 19:45 Lecce
Juventus will face Lecce in today's game and logically they should win, moreover they are playing home. Well I said logically since Juve showed horrible performance and result vs Sassuolo with a catastrophic defeat in the last game by taking 4 goals. Lecce for the moment are in front of Juve in the ranking, hopefully they will not embarrass them and pick points from them. |

Real Madrid obviously have injury worries at the moment, but have an experienced center forward in Joselu, however injury to Vinicius and a couple of other players have affected. Joselu might not be on the same class as Karim Benzema, but it was intentional for Real Madrid not going all out for a new expensive as they plan on having Mbappe by the end of the season, we all know Mbappe have been their No. 1 priority for some years now, I'm sure they'll have other signings too along the line, but I supposed those could be on hold until project Mbappe is complete.
It is unfortunate to see Real Madrid dropping points even though they were facing a good team like Atletico Madrid. Real Madrid shouldn't accept to receive 2 goals in less than 20 minutes from the starting of the game. Lack of concentration made things worse for them. Even the rocket sent by Kroos to the goalie didn't help them get the draw. Now things are getting stretched in the top of La Liga with Barcelona and Girona sharing the same number of points while Real Madrid passed to the third place just 1 point behind them.. |

Perhaps quite surprised too, because in this match Mbappe was pulled out and replaced by Goncalo Ramos in the 32nd minute. But yes, even though in this match PSG played without Mbappe, the fact is that PSG still managed to win with a big score like 4-0. Of course, this victory without Mbappe can be a trigger and or boost the morale of the players to be better without Mbappe. Because the problem this season is about too high dependence on Mbappe, so when PSG managed to win without Mbappe, it is clear that winning results like this are great results for PSG.
Mbappe left the game after 30 minutes since he was injured otherwise he would continue playing. His teammates made a good job securing 3 points from a rival like Marseille. The best part is scoring 4 goals without receiving any. Hakimi, Ramos and Kolo Muani scored these goals proving that PSG might be safe without Mbappe. Hopefully they could be 
Lens finally won a game.. What a bad start they have this season.. |

It's been great to see Leverkusen's form lately, yes they are slowly improving after a difficult time last season. The presence of the coach is undeniably the beginning of their revival. Leverkusen must appreciate the performance of Xabi Alonso who directly made changes for the better.
At the beginning of his coaching, not a few people doubted him, the reason was because he was a coach who was said to still lack experience. But he can prove even though at first he was still shuffling to create a change.
Now he brings Leverkusen to the top of the standings, so he must show the consistency of the club he currently holds.
Leverkusen started this season very good, they are competing Bayern Munich in terms of match results but also goals scored and accepted. The good part is they are scoring many goals which is reassuring. The 5th round finished and the fighting for top spots seems to be intense. I find Leipzig doing good also. I am not sure for how long Hoffenheim and Stuttgart will remain in this form and whether Dortmund will wake up soon but Bundesliga looks more interesting with many teams close to each others. |

Such a shame for Roma for them to only have 5 points in 5 matches, it seems that Mourinho time is fading out because I don't expect such poor result from them this season. I was thinking that after winning their game last week, that they have picked form, I never knew that it was just their lucky day.
Actually all teams are failing, not only Roma.. After all Torino isn't that bad and playing home, they were able to get a draw after Roma goal by Lukaku. Atalanta, Inter and Milan are the ones that got 3 points this round. Otherwise Juve failed badly vs Sassuolo, Napoli and Lazio got only one point. So far it looks that Inter are willing to pick the scudetto this season and Milan will annoy them the most. Not sure if Juve could keep up with the rythme or not.. |

Good game from the north London derby as Arsenal pushed Tottenham for a win but fell off short. Also, i think the title this season belongs to Manchester city no team can catch them. Arsenal injuries mean they will struggle this season as seen inn the game today against Spurs.
It was a good match, i did enjoy myself.
Although the odds shown before the game to be in favour of Arsenal but Spurs were able to get the draw. This result was after all acceptable and expectable. The other sad result was for Chelsea since they couldn't win even vs Aston Villa and Sheffield United total failure with 8 goals vs Newcastle! They couldn't score even a goal! |

Most of the big teams can do what Barcelona did in the last 10 minutes, maybe, maybe not. For that, you need both luck on your side and you need to keep attacking until the last minute.Barcelona could have lost points from this match, but they chose to fight until the end.
Barcelona did what they used to do in the past and what Real Madrid are known for, remontada! Coming from 2 goals deficit then score 3 goals in like 10 last minutes of the game is something that requires a lot of concentration and skills. Lewandowski did a good job scoring two goals and letting his team finish a third goal and win. Barcelona should be proud of themselves and they should learn from what happened. In the other matches, Valencia missed 2 points and Real Sociedad were able to get the draw after being 1 - 2 in the first half. |

I was surprised by Lyon's condition this season. Is it true that they are now in 17th place in the Ligue 1 standings? That's what came to my mind when I opened the ligue1 website. They have never tasted even a win in 6 matches this season.
Even though the squad they have is not that bad because a number of famous names are written on their squad list.
Yesterday they also suffered a defeat against Brest with a narrow score of 1-0.
It's a very different situation.
This season is one of the worst for Lyon from a long time at a point their supporters were very angry and unsatisfied with their team performance. They are in the relegation zone, they didn't won any game this season, they lost 4 and got a draw in two other matches, they just scored 3 goals and received 11. These stats are for a random team not a team with the weight and history of Lyon! Same goes for Lens, Lorient and Montpellier, they could do way better than this. Actually if we take a look on the table right now, it is quite random. Brest is in the first place  |

Kane is a very good finisher and one of the best in the world currently so I believe he'll finish the league with a good number of goals he's already got about 7 and had his first hat-trick but I believe it won't take long before he passes Sehrou Guirassy, theirs a very big possibility that Kane would win the golden boot at Bayern this season.
A good start with a nice hattrick even if it is vs a weak team like Bochum and including a goal from penalty. Kane still has a lot to do to achieve something in his career that failed to do so in Tottenham Hotspur. In the next round, Bayern Munich will face Leipzig in an away game. Leipzig being a hard team this season and they already picked DFL-SuperCup from Bayern Munich, so it is revenge time and we will see if Kane could show himself in this match! |

Lazio season is going from bad to worst lately as they barely made a draw with Monza and I can't see good things happening to Lazio for the rest of the season. Sure , they are present in UCL groups and made a very lucky draw in the last minute of the game but besides that , they've played almost nothing. They didn't invest a lot in transfers ,they have the same old players for a lot of seasons already and some of them lost their touch or the hunger for performance and trophies.
Lazio tried to maintain its spot in Serie A without making interesting investment and ended up being in the 15th place. They are just behind Roma which still didn't play its game vs Torino today. Lazio should wake up if they want to compete in an European league next season.. Meanwhile , Inter is going like a clock in Serie A with only victories on the line and they are about to add another one against Empoli as they lead 1-0 with 10 minutes until end of game.  Inter won 1 - 0 vs Empoli. Well they got 3 points but they could score more in Empoli which lost its 5th game in a row with 13 goals received and 0 goal scored after 5 rounds! Inter started getting some distance from Milan and Juve which lost badly by 4 goals to 2 vs Sassuolo. |

I wonder how the derby between Arsenal and Spurs will go today... After Arsenal beat PSV in the last game, it seems to me that they will have a huge motivation... Arsenal and Spurs have the same points in the standings... I don't know who can win, but I think both teams will score...
Spurs also are having a great run in PL so Arsenal shouldn't undermine Spurs right now. They have been brilliant in all the games so far. It's a huge fixture for both the team and whoever defeats the other one is gonna go ahead while the other one will drop back a bit on the table. I am really hoping for Arsenal to win here as it's a North London derby and we really shouldn't be losing this at Emirates ...never...🔴 Arsenal have better odds than Tottenham Hotspur in this London derby. The match will start soon in Emirates stadium. In the last season, gunners won both games since they are way better. This season both teams are quite equal so far so the result might be different depending from their readiness and performance. I think Arsenal are slightly better and could win, a draw also seem to be logic too. |

Sevilla might also struggle to get anything from this match because they are going to be playing in away conditions. But still, it is going to be anyone's game.
Sevilla is an incredible and unpredictable team, you never understand how they will perform and whether will play seriously and win or not.. The match vs Osasuna was quite comparable for both teams so a draw seemed logic.
The funny part of La Liga is when you see Girona sitting (temporarily) in the first place after winning 5 - 3 vs Mallorca. Barcelona might pick that place if they win vs Celta Vigo which is likely to occur. |

Nantes game history this season is quite strange. They lost the first 2 matches vs Toulouse and Lille. The defeat against Toulouse wasn't necessary.. Next they got a draw vs Monaco and Marseille which was pretty good. Next they defeated Clermont Foot and now they are leading vs Lorient with 3 goals to 2 in after 80 minutes of the game. Lorient players are trying to not lose points against Nantes but the game is quite difficult for them.

Mourinho is a great and famous coach and he is the coach to win the Champions League with Porto while they didn't have many famous and superstar players in their team.
That's why it's normal for people to expect much more from this coach, I was thinking Roma could get a much better place on the table in the last season.
let?s say it has its own qualities that are not seen at first glance by anyone Many focus on his bad temper, and that?s what she wants only a fool would stop at that, he does it on purpose to distract from what he does and protect the team! is a smart guy, not a dumb one. Mourinho is a good coach and I doubt anyone could say the opposite but he fails to succeed with different teams in the latest years since his tactics are well studied by his opponent and he doesn't have much to add to pick the first places without the necessary players that he always asks for and his demands were never fully fulfilled by stuff. Roma will play tomorrow vs Torino in an away game, we will see if they could score many goals or not. Otherwise Juve were 1 goal behind Sassuolo for like 10 minutes before they were able to get a draw.. and Milan picked 3 points from Verona after a quick goal from Leao. |

I agree with what you said, it?s become interesting for now. It seems these rich Saudis dont understand how to spend money wisely.
They wasted their money on me, given that, as you say, in two or three years we?ll be back to square one.
I dont know what they wanted to achieve, however many of them, including Mancini, are there. They have money and they spent, probabily.
come on guys it is a young league, can we be nicer to them? ok you are right maybe they spent the money badly, but they were in a hurry to get it off the ground, for them it is not an expense but an investment, I don?t see it as such a wrong thing thanks to this expense people have started to take an interest in the championship, I?d say they?ve hit the point  MLS wouldn't be known around the world if Beckham and other players that played in European leagues didn't move there. MLS kept a medium level at the opposite of Chinese league which faded fast. Same goes for Gulf region, they have foreign players and coaches from long time but things got interesting suddenly with Cristiano Ronaldo moving there, followed by a lot of stars this season. This made media and people getting interested.
Al-Nassr 4 - 3 Al-Ahli. Both teams won 5 matches and lost twice. Cristiano Ronaldo and Talisca scored 2 goals each for Al-Nassr while Mahrez scored a penalty and two of his teammates scored a goal each. So far the points difference are just 3 points between Al-Ittihad in the first place and Al-Ahli in the sixth place so with every round the ranking might change. |

First goal for Foden from Walker cut back was a really good team worked goal. There will be more players in Manchester City that will score in the second half. Doku, Alvarez are yet to score, and if they are not replaced in the second half they will score or create another chance for goal. If Nottingham forest manages to score one, maybe they will be able to score another to draw this game. It is very far from happening, but it can happen now especially with Rodri now sent off from the game with a red card due to violent conduct.
Manchester City 2 - 0 Nottingham Forest. Not bad since Manchester City was able to maintain the two goals advantage although playing a whole half with only 10 players. Both Foden and Haaland were able to score early goals. Haaland scored his 8th goal in 6 games, not bad On the other two games, Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Fulham and Luton Town 1 - 1 Wolves. Normal results since teams in both matches were close to each others. |
