Yes, the chance are 50/50 and once again what is quite surprising is that Nice's condition, which is better than Lyon, does not make the betting market favor Nice to win easily over Lyon. If I'm not mistaken, this is the same condition when Lyon faced Marseille where the odds for both teams were the same. even though Marseille was better, and usually bookmakers have factors to measure this and it was proven that in the end Lyon managed to win even though with a narrow score.
Against Nice they will probably be able to repeat this success because teams that are not highly regarded will usually have a strong motivation to surprise, and in H2H it can be said to be balanced.
Lyon will face Nice's very tight defense, and that is the key to victory if Lyon can break through their opponent's defense and score a goal then Nice will have difficulty scoring goals because they are a team that can be said to be strong but not productive enough, but it is very possible that this will end in a draw and Lyon will continue to try to get points so they can get further away from the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Nice also still has to fight to stay in the top three because the competition is very tight with Monaco, Brest, Lillie and Lens to be able to play in the Champions League next season.
Marseille had a fair encounter over the weekend against Metz, both sides also managed to net in goals for themselves. Well the outcome of the game didn't necessarily influence their table standings but it was worthwhile. It's a confidence booster for both teams. Especially for Marseille. However they need to put in more effort and do better.

 They've got the Europa League encounter ahead of them and most definitely, they've got to try to act better than they've always done. They shouldn't trade chances and their opponent has for seasons past been reselient in their European quests. Let's just see how the next European cup games would turn out for all the advanced teams too. Even though it's much expected that Marseille will be the victor in the end, it's certain that it won't also be an easy stride for them too.

Benzema was a professional football player. His time on real madrid after he had joined in the real madrid was even more difficult than this time. I think that nothing happened to him. Benzema is still fine and he is now aiming to get into the club again. The media was over by publishing unconfirmed news about him.
I have seen that many times benzema was trying to deny that, but it was not happening. I think that this could be a mistake being made by him caused by he was choosting to silent instead of gave clarrification regarding his condition in the club.
We need him to speak regarding so many rumors in the circulation. He needs to make at least a few sentences that will be clarifying his position in the club. We have got many bad rumores related to him but it never proven to be true.
So, benzema is having a lot of things that need to be done as soon as possible. This is making the situation even harder for the club. I think that if benzema was not in a good position this time. Benzema needs to perform better than before.

I hope he will be staying much longer in the club, it's caused by his strength is still needed by the club to perform better compared to the last season.
The switch to any club in some situations is a decision to be made by the player. Benzema has had quite an eventful time with Madrid. And I expected him to switch to another top European club but rather he choose to move to the SPL with reasons best known to him, maybe he's discovered the SPL ain't really a place where he could excell and that's why he intend moving out of the league to a place where he'll thrive and even make more name for himself.

 In this case, he's got to consider a number of factors and they are technically a determinant of how effective their new move decision would be for them. An EPL club move won't be a bad option for Benzema to pick even though the league is very much competitive, adding that he's advancing gradually in age and so he's got a few impacts that he can make before retirement.

In a game like this where Sporting was playing against a team that was not very weak, we are talking about Braga who have generally conceded 1 to 3 goals when playing against Porto, Benfica and Sporting, I highly doubt that anyone imagined that Braga were going to concede 5 goals in that game, from what I could see from the highlights, it seemed that the Braga players were thinking about their problems off the field rather than being focused on the game that was in front of them at that moment, for example Sporting's first goal, It was a serious error by the Braga player that allowed the Sporting player to recover the ball and manage to score a goal with some ease and this was seen a lot in this game

Braga players were not focused on this game, especially the defensive players, so Sporting has been a very strong team in attack in recent games, with such great weaknesses in Braga's defense, it makes perfect sense to have the goals that Sporting scored. , looking at the 3 big teams at the moment, I see Sporting as the team that deserves to win the league, but as in football a lot can happen until the last round, so only Sporting could start to feel comfortable if they ended up with a difference of more than 10 points in relation to Porto and Benfica, I still think that this is possible, since Benfica and Porto have had inconsistent moments at times, then they recovered, then they became inconsistent again.



Vitoria SC 2 - 2 benfica

Really thinking about a Benfica champion this season starts to be something that will depend on Sporting and Porto losing a lot, it's funny that in that game Vitória was playing with 10 players since the 64th minute, but even with this great help Benfica did poorly, they only managed draw when there were just a few minutes left in the game, Vitória deserved to leave this game with victory. Benfica at certain times seem like Porto, and it is strange that in some games when Benfica is losing the opponent receives a red card and Benfica manages to leave the game without defeat. I find it very strange, in this vitória game I didn't even understand why the hell the player did what led to his expulsion
The Portuguese league have teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. Porto are doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too even though they weren't able to keep up with their good performance in their last league game which wasn't so acceptable. Same scenerio applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the European cups too. Benfica have been doing well at securing the three points in most of their games with good goal margins.

 It only shows how set they are for the task put before them. Although a lesser performance isn't expected from them.The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are trying to make good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

The most problematic thing about Barcelona this season is their defensive side so you are right because their productivity is quite good, only two goals different from Real Madrid and Girona but the number of goals they have conceded is the most among the top 10 teams in the standings and that is the same number as Getafe, however, because Getafe is just an average team so it is not in the spotlight.
Many of Barcelona's chances of winning were in vain because their defense was so easily penetrated by their opponents, and strangely enough, home matches were matches where they lost a lot of points, it seems like home matches put them under more pressure so they played worse than away matches.
With the financial difficulties that continue to plague Barcelona, it will be difficult for their new coach to build a team according to his dreams because they can only spend a little money unless they can sell their stars, but of course, that will be a gamble because their performance may not improve because key players have to be released in the transfer market, so with this condition, Barcelona is in an uncomfortable position once again and it's quite unfortunate that this has been happening for quite a long time.
The financial situation of Barcelona at the moment doesn't require an irrational spending. It requires careful consideration and study too. Barcelona needs to get out of the situation fast and so they wouldn't dare trade their chances. They've got eyes on some players who are or will also be willing to join them but they just can't squeeze out that funds because it'll lead to another jeopardy.

 It's so sad that for the mean time, they'll be left with just free transfer options or low budgeted players. Adding a high rated player in the team would also mean a careful study of his salary incentives and finding a plan that would befit this player and I don't think any player of that stance, would want his salary structure reviewed. The best thing for Barcelona is just endurance whilst finding quick means out of this situation so they'd be back to acquiring the best guys in the game. The Copa del Rey is on and definitely, they're expected to perform better in most of their encounters.

this scenario is the same as what we saw last season, fenerbahce was doing very well, they were leading the table, they were a consistent team, until after the world cup ended and when the games resumed in january - february fenerbahce started losing points against weak teams and while Galatasaray won games and increased the points gap, I already commented on this when this season started and from what I see it is repeating itself, something very strange, I don't want to accuse anything here, but what These things are something very strange, what we will see from now on will be Galatasaray always winning while Fenerbahce will be losing points and I would like to congratulate Galatasaray for being champions this season, I say this because I highly doubt that Fenerbahce will be champions

If I were to put it in terms of odds I would say that Galatasaray has a 90% chance of winning the league while Fenerbahce only has 10% in my opinion, I don't know what the odds are like in the bookmakers in relation to which of the teams will be champion. It's very strange that Fenerbahce had 63% possession of the ball, they were winning, they were playing against a team that in the last 5 games only managed to score 2 goals in just one game, in the remaining 4 last games they only scored a maximum of 1 goal in each game and that even the second goal was in the last minutes, so it was clear that it is a team with a weak attacking power against Fenerbahce who in the last 10 games conceded only 1 goal at most in 3 of the 10 games. honestly there are strange things in this league
The Turkish Super Lig is one league that's been having a wide point margin between their title holder and the other teams but this season both top teams have actually been playing averagely and their end result is more or less thesame with a difference in just the goal margins. It's not so bad though but it'd mean that one team would have to put extra work to their game delivery if they want to secure the trophy.

 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. Galatasaray and Fernabache are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain.
In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They play to win, and their next league game would undoubtedly end up as a victory for them both because their opponents are the opposite of them in all aspects.

It was surprised that Juventus lost to a weak team at home, that was unexpected result from Juventus. The three point win over Juventus allowed Udinese, who were in the relegation zone, escape it. I thought that after Udinese goal in the first twenty five minutes of play, Juventus would equalized the score or win, but sadly, they aren't able to score any goals. Despite having plenty of chances and taking many shots, Juventus has only managed to have one point in their last three games, they lost to Inter Milan, draw with Empoli, and lost to Udinese.

Since Juventus isn't participating in any European competitions, I didn't think they would have any trouble winning their league matches this season. In fact, I assumed Juventus would easily top the league table. At the moment, Juventus and Inter Milan are separated by seven points. Juventus wants to lose their opportunity to compete for the title. If Inter Milan win their missing match, they will have ten points, I don't think Juventus will finish first in the league.
The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too.

 Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. The team are using this season to put in more work to ensure a spot in next season's European cup tournament and they definitely would earn it. Their encounter in the passing weeks were very much intense and the results were well deserving but it only pushes them ahead to prepare better for other games which they can take to their advantage too. Juventus are good to go to some extent only if extra energy wants to be pumped into the squad to increase their efficiency too.

Leverkusen's victory over Bayern Munich does not imply that Tuchel is to blame; it is a game, and when we talk about a game, we expect to win and lose; Bayern Munich's performance has not changed because they are still in the top two of the league table; on the other hand, the team that defeated Bayern Munich is an unbeatable one this season, as evidenced by the fact that no team has defeated them. Bayern Munich is still the greatest team that has ever played in the Bundesliga, so this season shouldn't present any difficulties for them. They have been winning the title many times and  for more than a year's, and it has only become an issue because one team is about to win it.

The team's CEO is very knowledgeable about his job; otherwise, he would have given in to pressure from the fans and fired Tuchel. Since Tuchel does not play on the field, we can observe that he always starts games with the team's best player in order to win; leverkusen, who defeated Bayern Munich, are also very skilled, and their coach, who is currently ranked among the best in the world, does a great job of leading the team. Leverkusen has been built by Xabi Alonso to the point where no team can defeat them, and he has broken records in the Bundesliga that no other coach has ever accomplished.
Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. Even though it's not so certain yet as there are still games to determine the victor, there's every possibility that there may be change of hands this season.
Munich are doing their best to match up the intensity of contest Leverkusen are putting forward.

 Definitely they can hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race. The time is sure going to be tough for all their opponents and the games will go almost to the last end before a victor can be confirmed. Leverkusen are a potential winners of the league and I think they’ll put lots of efforts to achieve that.

Another hard match to predict but since i do know how good the defensive line of serie a club and i think that interimlan will be destroying atletico madrid soon. Atletico madrid may be playing safely without having intention to take the big risk to play offensively against atletico madrid.
It's hard to guess on which strategy that is going to be used by the club. Im seeing that if intermilan is superior in this game compared to the atletico madrid but i think that these clubs will be playing passively to make sure they can get the golden chance to win the competition. In my understand that if atletico madrid is far worst compared to the intermilan which has been entering into the final of UCL last season. Intermilan has learned a lot from the result of last season. The club is starting to climbing up again slowly but surely.

Im only wondering what squad that is gonna be used by intermilan. I hope that calhanogl will always become the main starter for intermilan. Having him like intermilan has someone who can pass the ball from the back to the upfront.
Calhanoglu was very important player owned by the club. I hope he will always become the main starter.
The UCL has resumed and we’re having some crazy fixtures where we’ve got the 2 teams playing same pattern football. And one fixture like that is the Inter Milan vs Athletico Madrid fixture. These 2 teams play similar kind of football and predicting who’ll go past this stage is quite one heavy task to do. In my opinion, I think Inter Milan have got the upper hands as finalists last season and based on current form, they seem better than Athletico Madrid.

 The Spanish side would be coming to defend at the San Siro stadium hoping to go goalless here and go and decide it at their ground. As this is the best option for them because when they chose to play offensively then I feel they might get some trouble from the fast players of Inter Milan and the qualifying team might be known even before the final whistle.

Chelsea had been successfully securing 4 points against palace. The first goal from palace was putting chelsea into the very difficult situation. It's kinda strange that to see chelsea have been showing ourstanding performance. It's not the same like the old chelsea and i must appreciate all of efforts being made by gallagher and friends.
Enzo was able learning from the past mistake caused by he was able making a proper finishing to add the third goal for chelsea during the injury time. I was surprised when seeing gallagher was scoring two goals. To be honest, chelsea needs to take shooting learning course.

Im sure that club could score a lot of goals as long as chelsea's players would be able to did long shoot. The problem is chelsea is always being so wasteful. I don't wanna say this is a coincidence by chelsea but the performance from the club is still very far from what i have expect. It seems like that my expectation was too big for chelsea.
This is also my main reason not to put a lot of hopes for chelsea in this game. Chelsea was very often in missing any opportunities and the club was playing differently in that game. I was surprised by seeing how chelsea was struggling and it's almost draw against palace could able to get three points.

Even though the position is not going up or down but this can be good morality for chelsea players before they are going to face manchester city.
Well Chelsea had their victory yesterday despite the disappointing performance. Yes the team had a disappointing performance especially in the first half which was major reason they were a goal down in that half. The boys uped their game in the second half and truly Poch sub at the start of the 2nd half was spot on because Noni seemed not to be active in the match. The substitution gave room for Nkunku which helped bring Palmer to play his normal position on the flank thereby helping to balance this team.

 Well this win wasn’t outstanding as we expected more goal to at least help build the Goal Difference of the club. Though we’re still lurking around mid table, I think if we keep up with this impressive performance then we’ll be able to achieve something and be in a better position to get an European spot next season.

First, we wait until the play-off round is finished, to see who finally advances to the round of 16. It is true, as you said, several teams coming from the Champions League add to the fierce competition in the European League. Milan, Galatasaray, Benfica and Roma as well as several other teams could be a threat to the teams that have previously qualified automatically. It is possible that teams that are more familiar in the play off round will be eliminated early, such surprises happen very often, especially considering that this is the European League. Leverkusen and Liverpool are the two most favorite teams, and indeed everything still looks gray and it is still too early to guess who will win the trophy even though both teams are performing consistently.

Especially Leverkusen, when I saw that Xabi Alonso squad was able to beat Bayern Munchen in the Bundesliga, I became more confident that they would definitely be able to reach the final. Apart from my opinion, Liverpool consistency in the Premier League also makes them highly regarded. It would be ideal if this season Europa League final brought these two clubs together, but that just a personal opinion. Their chances may change, because no one can be sure about the ups and downs of a team performance even though they are very favorites.
Well the UEL is about to resume and we’ve got as a norma the addition of Ucl teams. These additions sometimes change the face of the UEL because these teams have more experience than the UEL teams. When you see the likes of Milan, Galatasaray then you get scared and now have a wide range of favorite to pick for the UEL trophy. 2 teams that still remain top favorites are Leverkusen and Liverpool.

 Liverpool have everything they need to take this trophy home especially with their vast experience and excellent players. Bayer Leverkusen who’re coasting high under Xabi Alonso still have a shot and I now see them cementing that hope with their win against Bayern Munich, this is supposed to scare other teams that they real mean business and are ready to put up a fight for that title.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 13, 2024, 03:35:23 PM

Indeed the Ivorians dominated the game from the onset, I just give kudos to the Nigerian goal keeper Stanley Nwabali as the keeper tried his possible best not to concede too many goals but his defenders and midfielders weren't supportive to him at all as the Ivorians mostly gain access to Nigeria's defensive areas easily and tends to pose a threat to the goal keeper who had been up and doing for his country side. Well the Ivorians won and it is a well deserved victory because they fought so hard for it and indeed their efforts was crowned with glory by winning the AFCON tournament. Regardless of the fact that the super eagles of Nigeria were the first to score but yet the Ivorians never gave up on their fate as they kept a good spirit and high energy like the spirit this guys showed after they conceded to Nigeria in the first half was really awesome as they possesses the ball more often than Nigeria and each time they have the ball, they always destabilizes the Nigeria side.

The AFCON is come and gone and with all sincerity, the Ivorians really did a great job and their winning this AFCON competition was really out of their hardwork and not on a platter of Gold so they're Africa's current champions and every country should be able to accept that fact and move on, maybe do better in the next AFCON competition.
Ivory Coast real merited the trophy based on their performance especially in the final. The team showed how massively they’ve improved as compared to how they performed in the group stages. Stanley Nwabali was the saving grace of the Super Eagles as he was able to stop some long range shots coming his way. I wouldn’t put much blame on the defenders rather I’ll put on the midfielders who allowed those longs balls circulate past them.

 I also think the formation applied by the Super Eagles wasn’t the best as they went defensive in this match. Surprisingly they still went defensive even after going 1 goal up and it ought not to be so as they had a better team than the Ivory Coast. Well the competition is over, I think everyone will rest and try to work on having a better competition in 2025.

It seems that what made Manchester City get back on track was not entirely because Erling Haaland returned to the field but more so because Kevin De Bruyne returned to playing for his club.
For several seasons he has been the key to Manchester City's game, how his team carries out attacks and also when they have to break attacks from their opponents, it's just that Haaland's return will make Manchester City, which is already productive, even more productive, because so far they are the team with the most scored goals, their average goal per match is more than 2 goals.

The competition is indeed very tight and that is the most interesting thing about the English Premier League because the point difference between the title contenders is thin and the end of the season will be the most decisive, and Manchester City's chances look better than Liverpool or Arsenal because they still have one postponed match, but that doesn't mean they will finish this season easily because the meeting between these three competitors will really determine who will become champion.

Arsenal, which previously looked doubtful, started to show something good when they managed to beat Liverpool with a convincing score so that they also have a chance of becoming champions this season if City and Liverpool slip up.
The role of a creative midfielder in a team can never be underrated. That’s one player than can dictate how a team performs. As his contributions could either help or mar the team. And that’s the role of KDB in the Manchester City team. His absence makes this team lack the fine creativity they’re known for and even with the presence of Haaland they still found it difficult on some days. Now KDB is back and coupled with Haaland I think the reward fir his creativity is the the team being productive in terms of goals.

 The EPL still remains one big competitive league as you can see the little goal margin between these clubs and I believe that it’ll real be a fierce competition till the very last days of the league. Arsenal shouldn’t be written off at this point as they’ve proved that they still have a lot to offer.

Other clubs will support Liverpool to break Manchester City's dominance over the last few seasons. Manchester City always wins the Premier League so that other clubs don't feel frustrated because Manchester City is difficult to stop, making the Premier League a farmers' league if no other club breaks its dominance. , just like Chelsea, which has failed to reach the top several times and in the last 2 seasons has experienced a decline and resulted in a decline in player mentality and a decline in the quality of the club which may have been caused by several factors.

Yes, Liverpool's injuries have indeed affected their performance a little, but I don't think this is sustainable because Liverpool will immediately improve their performance in the matches they will play, their defeat against Arsenal will not be repeated in the next match. Arsenal itself is trying hard to break Manchester City dominance, whether Liverpool or Arsenal. I want to see other clubs able to break Manchester City dominance. I think Arsenal still has a chance to wins the Premier League title this season.
Well Manchester City and Pep Guardiola is already turning our lovely Epl to a farmers league and I think this is a shame to other clubs. For this reason, most fans are wishing Liverpool will be able to get the win and get the league off the sight of Manchester City. Man City started poorly but now they’re having the  advantage of going top of the league with a point that’s if they win their outstanding. They’re sure to win that outstanding especially as the squad Is back all complete and the determination from these players is quite high.

 I’ll really love for Liverpool to get the league but the injury woes at the Anfield club to an extent reduced their performance, though I’m mot seeing them backing down soon. Arsenal too is another club whom her pressure could help stop Man City’s domination. I wish to see another club other than City lift the EPL at least to save the face of the league.

Congratulations to Ivory Coast they were far better than Nigeria they controlled the game throughout and they showed they were well prepared for the final, the players were well composed and didn’t give up despite going a goal down. Nigeria on the other hand lacked composure and played like an underdog despite having the lead before half time they couldn’t define their play and I didn’t see any style of play in their game.

I feel they have been lucky all through the competition because their style of play have not been convincing enough as all teams they face easily outplayed them but they usually get lucky to win one way or another. Nigeria lacks midfield and that was their major weakness and it cost them the game because Iwobi was totally careless and was useless throughout the game, Ola Aina was also very poor and allowed Adingra to exploit him and assisted two goals all from his wing.

Ivory Coast deserved to win because they were clearly the better team, they had more goal attempts and created more chances.
Well Congratulations to the hosr, they had everything in their favour yesterday. Yes they were the favorites, probably one reason Nigeria came into this match as underdogs with a certain fear or tension. The coach’s patter for Nigeria wasn’t what was needed as they didn’t need to just sit back defending even after staying a goal up; they could have tried to double up their lead. This pattern brought them this far but at least it could have been changed when you saw it wasn’t productive in that match.

 The midfield player, Iwobi was under performing in this match and should have ben off this match since the first half, because he was lacking in his duty as Nigeria needed a creative midfielder to help feed the attackers. Aina on his own end, I think he let the praises get to him as his feets were too weak to be able to hold on Adingra who gave the assist for the winning goal from that end. The host played good football and deserved the win and I must give it to them as they real played well to get the trophy.

AS Roma's defeat against Inter Milan is something normal for me personally. just imagine, De Rossi has only managed AS Roma in 4 matches, including the match against Inter. we know very well that Inter can currently be said to be a team that is on fire in the Serie A League. they are at the top of the standings, and Inter should be able to win the match without conceding. remember, De Rossi is a coach who lacks experience. however, AS Roma put up quite an interesting match, they scored two goals against Inter Milan. unfortunately, one of AS Roma's defenders made a blunder with his own goal. as it should be, in this match AS Roma's defeat was only limited by a narrow goal difference. Technically, the patterns and systems used by De Rossi are not too bad. unfortunately, the performance of AS Roma's defensive players underperformed.

But it doesn't matter, they were able to put up a fight and were able to score two goals in this match. even though the final result, AS Roma collapsed. now De Rossi's job is only to maximize his team. their first defeat against Inter was a valuable lesson for the AS Roma coach to improve his squad. in the match against Feyenoord which will be held in the next 4 days, De Rossi still has time to prepare his team when they visit. even though based on the betting market, Feyenoord is currently the favorite, but in the actual match we will know the result. so, we wait and can De Rossi? quite interesting.

Well the defeat By Inter Milan wasn’t surprising as Inter are the big and best team in the Serie A currently. Roma tried to have a say in that match and for that reason we must commend them. Like I said the Roma defense line still seems shaky and the lead Inter had to build up and get the winning goal was a blunder from the defender. Yes this blunder was really one crazy one and that made Inter build more in the game.

 De Rossi lacks the experience but I think he’s got a good style of play and that’s working for Roma, just that he’ll need to try and straighten up his defense line if he’s to get anything with this Roma team. They’ve got a match against Feynoord this week and making such defensive blunders shouldn’t reoccur as without these blunders then they can have a say in that match.

Not only the club management, all parties, including Bayern Munich fans, also really hope for Thomas Tuchel to be able to bring Bayern Munich to a title, either the domestic league or the Champions League, because both are very important for Bayern Munich. The distance between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen is still quite close, if Leverkusen suffers 2 defeats then Bayern Munich could be in first place, Bayern Munich currently really hopes that Leverkusen will lose points even though Bayern Munich failed to stop Leverkusen's winning streak but Bayern Munich is still waiting for that defeat to happen to Leverkusen this season this is because Leverkusen has not experienced it.

For the Champions League, Bayern Munich still has the same opportunity as Real Madrid and Manchester City, Tuchel himself has good experience in the Champions League so Bayern Munich is still quite optimistic about achieving the title.
But if this season Bayern Munich ends without winning any titles, I doubt Bayern Munich will still retain Tuchel because Bayern Munich wants a coach who can give him titles, why keep a coach who can't give Bayern Munich any titles?? I think Bayern Munich will still fire him and replace him with a new coach even though it is difficult to find a suitable coach for the club.
Well Bayern Munich are traditional winners of the league and for this reason, the fans are always having high hopes that they’ll be able to still maintain this stand. Well TT pattern hasn’t really favored the club as on most occasions we’ve see them struggle to get at least a goal. Currently they’re 5 points behind Leverkusen and are hoping Leverkusen suffers at least 2 defeats which to an extent doesn’t look realistic. For the UCL, I’m not seeing them as a strong contender because the team lacks great fluidity.

 You can’t compare Bayern to teams like Real Madrid and Man City this season even though Bayern has got the experience but the current state of their team is nothing to write home about and that’s one reason I don’t see them having any hopes of winning the UCL. TT will have to get his pattern right and maybe then they can have at least the domestic title next season because It’s looking like it’s already gone this season.

When I look at the team's positions in the table and I see Aston Villa position and Manchester United's position:


makes me wonder what the hell happened to Aston Villa, until a few weeks ago they were a team that was well placed in the table, they managed to stay in the best places, they beat strong teams, I even thought that Aston Villa would be able to finish in a good position in the table, but looking today at Aston Villa's performance and looking at the performance of teams like Manchester United, I see that Aston Villa will finish in a terrible position, it won't take many rounds for Manchester United to catch up and surpass Aston Villa in the table.

West Ham 0 - 6  Arsenal

honestly, it didn't even seem like the West Ham players had the desire, motivation and strength to play, the impression I got from that game was that it seemed like the West Ham players didn't have any desire to play, especially the defensive players and the goalkeeper, The goals Arsenal scored seemed like goals that West Ham's goal didn't have a goalkeeper for. I know that Arsenal is a great team, and a strong team and a candidate for the title, but in this game the blame for the many goals is undoubtedly on the shoulders of West Ham players, but of course the Arsenal players are to be congratulated for having achieved They score a lot of goals, with this victory Arsenal are closer to Liverpool, but if Arsenal really want to win the title then they must win all the games ahead and they must beat Manchester City when they play against Manchester City on the 31st of next month


I'm really suprised by Aston Villa's performance lately, I expect them to do better in this 2nd segment of the tournament but no they're not even impressive anymore,1st they got thrashed by Chelsea then Manchester United who knows if they'll still have another defeat again in their next fixture. If they continue losing points they'll miss out in the top 4 and maybe end up playing Conference League, not even the Europa. Well the only excuse they could give for their poor performance lately is the injury sustained by most of their 1st team players.

 As for West Ham, I expected a defeat against Arsenal but the 6-0 is so embarrassing cause they played like they were not training or even without a coach, their manager would be so disappointed at himself and the boys for allowing such a heavy defeat this season from a big team and I'm pretty sure it would take a while before most of their fans would recover from watching their team embarrassed them on the pitch.

Ronaldo may be losing his emotion during such a moment. i meant that if ronaldo was feeling very disappointed with it and i do agree with you. I think that this is still an inappropriate act from him to throw a gift received from the fans. I do agree with all of you said above. Ronaldo can at least give it to the his asisstant and this will be much more respectful.
There has been a perception in the media that his actions are arrogant, which has caused his fans to show disrespect towards him. Ronaldo's clarification would greatly assist in preventing any negative perceptions that the fans may develop about him, and I sincerely hope he takes the initiative to do so. Ronaldo is always having so many eyes watching him.

I don't even like his attitutde. I do like him morality but his attitude was a big no. It has been known since a few years ago about how arrogant ronaldo was. We can learn a lot from his morality but it's not for his arrogant.
Ronaldo can try to respect with any gift from his fans. He can give it to the his child or someone else rather than thrown it away like it was nothing valuable for him.

This will put fans to have negative opinions about his attitude. Show more respect ronaldo. You're big caused by your fans too. This must be criticized caused by ronaldo is also a public figure too.
Well a lot of people would say or think or conclude that Ronaldo is a pride filled player, maybe because of his record overtime both in business, professional football and all round of his life's affair but for me I'd say he isn't that kind of person. He's got a cool personality. Well everyone got their opinion concerning certain players they dislike.

 We can as well confirm that inasmuch as what happened happened, there's been times that Ronaldo calls up and embraces more a fan who was once chased away by the security men on his way trailing in and out of the football arena. Well maybe he's got his reasons even though not justifiable but it's not fair or right to conclude that he's pride filled. He's one amongst many players I see much more humility in.

Yes, according to the news circulating, Enzo Fernandez doesn't feel at home at Chelsea because this big club is going through a bad period in the last 2 seasons. Chelsea has been struggling in the middle of the standings, every effort has been made by Chelsea to buy several players at high prices like when Chelsea brought in Enzo Fernandez from Benfiqa for more than 100 million but he did not appear at all impressive in the Premier League so it was a waste for Chelsea as well as several of the other young players Chelsea recruited they also did not perform optimally therefore Chelsea spent too much money but there is no progress at all.

If I'm not mistaken, Enzo Fernandez's contract with Chelsea is still up to 2031, so it's impossible for Enzo Fernandez to leave if Chelsea terminates not his contract. Moreover, offering himself to Barcelona doesn't necessarily mean that Barcelona will be interested because the price is quite expensive given Barcelona's current financial condition. Especially because his potential is still mediocre for a player and not that impressive so any club will think long and hard about signing him, he should stay at Chelsea until another club can afford him, but definitely not Barcelona.
Enzo move to Chelsea was certainly a move that was envisioned to be impactful to the Blue side, even though while at the team, he had some ups and downs, a few error occurences too and also some regrettable game outcomes. He was and is still valued in the team. He's young with a good blend of midfield qualities too.

 He's signed contract with Chelsea is set to run through till 2031 and so that only means that he's still got a couple of years to stick with the London side and at thesame time try to see a way to make positive growth and impacts too. He's got eyes from Barcelona and we'll truthfully he seems like a potential addition to them but it'll only be possible at the expiration of his contract which gives the Spanish side enough room to bounce back out of their financial hitch to a more balanced atmosphere.

Almere 0 - 0 AZ

things really aren't going well for AZ in the last 6 games they haven't managed to win in any game, although they have managed to get some draws, this is still a loss of points considering that there are other teams that are getting very close to AZ in the table. Something funny is that in December last year AZ played against Almere and won the game against Almere, and it wasn't just a simple victory, it was a game in which AZ managed to score 4 goals. almere improved while AZ declined and in yesterday's game almere showed that they improved compared to the last game against AZ. although Almere were unable to win the game, a draw in that game was already a good result for Almere. With this draw, AZ remains in position 4, while Almere remains in position 11

Excelsior 0 - 3 Twente

well, this was an easy game for twente, that's because Excelsior in the last few games has been a very inconsistent team, they had mixed results, for example in the last 4 games they had 2 defeats, 1 draw and only one victory and they are fighting to distance themselves from the teams that are in the relegation zone, while Twente, which was also coming from mixed results, had managed to go 2 consecutive games without losing, which is why they were favorites in that game, with this victory, Twente remained in third place, doing with make it difficult for ajax to overcome them



heerenveen - Ajax

This is a very important game for Ajax in the sense that a victory would make Ajax occupy position 4, but it will not be an easy game, this is because Heerenveen is a team that in the last 5 games has not managed to have at least 1 victory but they managed to have 3 draws and 2 defeats and playing against teams that come from many draws is always very complicated, but I believe that Ajax will win this game and will occupy position 4

The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too. For Alkmaar, they're still lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too. They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play.

. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too. The second half of the season have taken different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too.
