I saw that Roma actually performed well in the first half. They were able to equalize the score after trailing 0-1. They were also able to lead 2-1 before Marcus Thuram equalized the score at 2-2. In the first half I thought Roma were really able to appear quite solid. I don't expect them to win the game but at least they will get a draw.

But in the second half everything changed. I don't seem to see Roma anymore like in the first half. It seems like Inter Milan tried to change the tactics of the game and it seems like it worked well. They were able to score 2 goals in the second half and ended the match with a score of 4-2.

I think this is not a bad result for Roma and De Rossi. But still, this will be an evaluation for De Rossi to see the shortcomings of their game. Feyenoord will of course watch the replay of the match to see Roma's weaknesses.
Roma vs Inter Milan was a match that had 6 goals and I think Roma had their say in this match. In the first half of the match, they tried to contain Inter and make sure they don’t enjoy their free play of football. That pattern worked but still the major problem which is their shaky defense line was their major challenge in this match. Inter came in with a different pattern and they were able to break down the defense Roma tried to have.

 For the UEL i think De Rossi will need a proper evaluation of that match and build more on his strength and improve his weaknesses in that match, that way he’ll be able to have a say against Feynoord in the UEL. But with the transfer window closed and there's no way to strengthen the squad again, he would need to come up with a defensive strategy to get past Feyenoord.

Even though if he will be failed to win the UCL then he will be having other chance to get trophy from the another competition. Im not seeing UCL must be gotten by him but we must also aware that if this competition is very hard to get. It's not as easy as people said to win UCL by having good clubs.
Let's see that whether that thing will happen to him or not. I think that thing will not happen to him. Don't you remember what happened to the kyle walker? I remember that many people were also saying the same thing like you but it's not happening.

Bayern munich was in another trouble caused by it was losing against leverkusen. Munich needs to strengthen its mentality. The chance to get UCL will be far harder caused by there will be so many drama to happen till the end of season. bayern is still having chance to win some trophies this season.
Let say that if kane will be only winning a trophy and it means that if kane's curse was only a fake news. Kane was not starting his season in bayern with good start.
The communication was limiting him to build chemistry with his teamates. Im also aware about this too. It was making the situation to be even better for munich. Let's wait how good improvement will be showing by him soon.
Well Harry kane is not going to have any trophy this season as the team generally isn’t looking like they’ll be able to challenge for any. They’re very much in the UCL but I don’t even see them going past the last 8. The team generally haven’t had that Chemistry that Bayern is sure known for. Thomas Tuchel pattern in this Bayern team haven’t been able to unleash the beast this Bayern team have.

 For this reason, I think winning the UCL will be quite hectic and a challenge for Bayern and Harry Kane. Harry shouldn’t have much of a worry as it’s not his fault that he could go trophyless rather the pattern of the coach hasn’t been able to get them the trophies they deserve. I don't think Tuchel is the right coach for the club and with he right coach to manage that squad I think they'll become dominate again.

Football is just full of surprises like considering the fact that Westham won Arsenal in the Emirate stadium and for Arsenal to come back at them with this humiliating result is really wonderful because i never even thought of Arsenal winning Westham not to talk more of winning them by 0:6. With the determination that Arsenal have shown in their most recent previous matches and with this win against Westham today, I can confidently say that Arsenal is still very much active in the title race and what surprises me most is the huge score margin they've been having like they won Crystal palace by 5:0 and now Westham by 6:0 when they hardly win with a high goal margin. Had it been that Arsenal mostly win matches with high goal margin most of their opponents would have always been afraid whenever they are to meet each other.

With the kind of team work that Arsenal players showed in their match against Westham today i don't think FC Porto can be able to withstand their pressure when they meet in the champions league round of sixteen match on 21st February so definitely, Arsenal is gonna win FC Porto.
Well the EPL particularly is real full of surprises as you shouldn’t relax thinking you don’t have much work to do. In the case of West Ham, they won’t into the match with Arsenal with plenty of confidence from their first leg win. Arsenal humiliated them at home with huge goal margin as they showed both strength and determination in the match. Arsenal also through this match has given us one major reason to consider them in the tilte chase.

 The chase for the title is fierce and this kind of emergency and response is needed if they want to be considered as a contender at all. They have showed us how they all work together as a team and are ready to challenge for the league this season, if they keep up with this momentum then it would make the race to the title for interesting. Well I just hope they'll be able to keep up against City and Liverpool.

Real Madrid vs Girona was an interesting and competitive game we witnessed as Real Madrid defeated the opposition and proved once again that they are a strong team in La Liga. I'm a real madrid fan and I watched the game completed the game was really interesting the two teams were attacking each other most of the time the attack was high. Girona lost badly at Real Madrid's home ground and were unable to concede a goal as the game ended 4-0 until the last minute. Girona didn't play well because it wasn't their field and they didn't choose a good attacking side and they didn't manage to score a goal in this period. The performances that Real Madrid's young stars have had have been truly remarkable and the way they attack and deliver goals is truly magnificent. The three young stars have been outstanding for the Real Madrid team, their attack has been very good, which is why they continue to play well for Real Madrid and hopefully their future will be even better. Real Madrid's impressive win has moved them to the top of the points table and will require the opposition to work much harder to get to that point.
Girona has been doing really well in the soccer season, surprising everyone with their great performance. Even though Girona is playing perfectly, I didn't expect Girona to win when they faced Real Madrid because they are also in good shape, especially since the match took place at Madrid's home.
In my opinion it still won't be that easy because to become a leader in La Liga you have to have deeper experience.

 Even competing with popular teams in La Liga is not an easy task because popular teams have more experience with various strategies to be able to regain their position first. but I really hope there is something different this season Girona must become the leader in La Liga to see new history without the boredom of seeing every season led by a team that always dominates La Liga. Real Madrid for sure won't make it so easy for them and so let's anticipate how the remaining weeks of the season would turn out.

The African Cup is also coming to an end and Beşiktaş can be better but it will not happen immediately. I'm sure it will take some time. The old president and old management made some terrible moves and it is hard for Besiktas to recover. In this season, Besiktas mostly played a very bad football and it cannot get better fast. The new transfers seem great to me, finally Besiktas is spending money also. But we can't wait miracles here. But fans are very hopeful for the next season. The new president seems like going to make big moves. But it would be futile to wait good results this season.
Besiktas is one team in the Turkish League that are to an extent doing well for themselves. Even though they don't get to have a spot in the UCL, they still try their best to earn a spot in the UEL  and while at that segment of the European tournament, they do their best to gain good results. They now have a new president who's got the ability to make the team better.

 The funds will be generated and dispersed accordingly for the team. Besiktas being one of the top teams in the league still has the tendency of rising to a better stance. Since the arrival of the new president there has surely been a positive turn around in the team and their game play was improved too. We hope to see the new Besiktas a few days and weeks from now and see the difference they'd make.

In the first half, we had good performance from AS Roma as they were doing good job in both defense and attack which give them good reward, and they ended with 2–1 lead but in second half we have no mercy from the Inter Milan, and they were in complete control which not allowed AS Roma to hit any shot on goal which is impressive from the leaders, and they score three goals which give them good win, and now they are going to be clearly leaders for the top until end of the season.

Roma needs to work on their defense which is not giving as they needed at this level and things are surely more difficult in coming weeks as we are heading for the end and most of the top teams trying to have good results and better chance of ending at the top spots now tomorrow we are going to have AC Milan hosting Napoli which is also trying to recover from early loses.
Roma overtime have been a good impactful team in the Serie A league, they're a good side and they've got huge task to prove a point and endure that they don't go below commendations too. They're a team that can definitely be compared to the likes of Inter and Juventus.The coach they have currently is skillful, they may technically be lacking a little bit of player quality but I believe they can make do with what they have.
 
 Recent game outcomes haven't been so terrible or bad for them. They're staying in shape and hopefully with time and weeks going by, they'll be able to stay back at their deserved top spots. The season has a couple of games left for Roma to show it's ability. They will try to be relevant in both the Serie A and Europa League tooYou

It's too arrogant to think like that. If the assessment is that Bayern Munich is still easy to beat and Bayern Munich's strength has not returned, then it is like ignoring Bayern Munich's strength when they managed to beat other teams.
Able to score 4 goals, Leverkusen now has the upper hand in the race for the Bundesliga title.
Bayern Leverkusen's victory yesterday was a demonstration of Xabi Alonso's strategy for Tuchel.
Bayern Leverkusen's victory will have a positive impact on Xabi Alonso because several big clubs have not yet found an answer to his declining performance to hire him.

A look at a team that is still strong enough to be able to carry out future projects for another big team is Liverpool. Boehly would also be interested in signing Alonso to bring change to Chelsea.
Maybe it's true, only Leverkusen can end Munich's dominance, not other teams like Dortmund last season.
Alonso must not dwell on victory after the results his team obtained against Bayern Munich.
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.

Lyon's performance at the start of this season was indeed bad and they were in the relegation zone for quite a long time, but entering the second half of this season, Lyon is slowly starting to get up and trying to get out of the relegation zone. Lyon's last match was impressive but still quite doubtful because Lyon's performance is not yet completely stable. However, I am quite optimistic about Lyon's performance in the future because they have shown signs of improvement, but because this match is away, perhaps Lyon will experience a little difficulty when facing Montpellier.

However, yes, because Montpellier's condition has not been good in the last few matches, I am quite sure that Lyon can still beat the home team if Lyon is able to perform impressively in this match, because every point that Lyon gets is very important to improve their ranking in League 1 so that Lyon is not relegated, if Lyon wins then Lyon's ranking will increase because the points between the two clubs are the same, namely 19 points even though Montpellier is above Lyon in 13th place.
Lyon was gradually becoming a relegation team and we knew for sure that they didn't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been impressive on their side and it seems like there's a huge possibility to be out fully from the bottom zone. They have a couple of games to go and they have to secure at least a good number points to be out of the relegation zone completely even though they're trying better than a few weeks back already.

 Hopefully, they'd be able to play more well and win some games and draw some and also avoid much losses too because every loss will affect their chance. Extra efforts and determination needs to be put to the team and they've got face the reality of the battle they've got at hand.No laziness or backwardness should be entertained too. Their league is not so competitive and they normally themselves have the strength before now to compete. There's still high chance for them. Asides the 3points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top.

Premier league is just getting even more interesting. As far as i know that if manchester city is leading the competition right now. The main problem is now arsenal and liverpool are starting to perform even worst than before. This is also helping manchester city to lead the competition.
I hope that city will be winning the game again. It has been long time since city was winning the competition and im sure that manchester city will able to perform even better than the last season. The chance to win the competition is very high right now caused by the club is even stronger to stay at the top.
Im hoping that arsenal and liverpool will be bottling the upcoming games. This will make the situation even better compared to the last season. City may able to dominate the competition till the end of season. I think that liverpool and arsenal will be trophyless again this season.
The situation is changing so fast. I remember that fans from liverpool talked about EPL trophy but city is just surpassing it easily. I hope that everything will be going so well for manchester city soon.
Well the EPl has always had its own joy that it adds to the general world of football and that’s one main teasin it’s still regarded as the top league acorss others in Europe. The EPl started with a struggling Man City but now it seems the whole story is changing. Man City have been outstanding since they’ve had all their players returning back to the team from injury, you’re able to see how they all fight to make sure they’re getting 3 points in all their matches. This determination from the players alone makes this team to be feared and they could even perform better than last season as they’re already on top the table.

 Now it’s looking like Liverpool will probably have to start cancellation of any hope that theu could achieve the EPL this season as it’s looking like an impossible task especially with the way City are playing. Arsenal are somehow not really regarded as league contenders yet because they might not be able to put and match the strength of Liverpool talk more of city.

I have always been rooting for Liverpool to win the league this season since to me they are more consistent than Arsenal though i am a Chelsea fan but i hate the fact that City just continue to dominate the league almost on every season while at the end of 2023, they were under performing especially when Rodri and KDB was out and at that time i knew they will bounce at most this year January, just like how they do every season dominating the league from the beginning of the year till that season ends. Also I knew Liverpool only has a chance if they remain consistent and avoid losing or drawing to continue to keep the gap they had against City, since even till now I do not see Arsenal as title contenders but I guess I can say Liverpool failed to do just that, maybe this is as a result of their injury crisis now or maybe inconsistency on their part.

Now Liverpool will be hoping City drop some points in order to top the league well and remain consistent because though they are currently topping the league with their win today but City still has an outstanding match which they may likely win and be topping the league.

This your opinion is really on point and I'm pretty sure the  Chelsea fans would be happy and tipping Liverpool to get the league at least if not for anything for the sake of the sanity of we the other clubs in the league. Manchester City have proven to be real dominating and it’s seeming like they’re already dominating again this season. Manchester City is now making the EPL look like a farmers league and we had hopes high on Liverpool to help end this.

 The injury in the Liverpool team affected their performance and made them drop points and now even Liverpool are now wanting City to probably drop points so that they can get back on their solid league at the top of the table. I’ve never seen Arsenal as a contender because they don’t have the matching strength to give Liverpool and City any worry.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 11, 2024, 02:47:30 PM

Very poor performance from both teams. None of the teams utilize their chances and I was wondering whether they both want to test the ability of their goal keeper in the penalty shootout. DR Congo were just unlucky totally both in the game play period and in the penalty shootout. If they were clinical and converted their chances, they would have won that game from first half. South Africa on the other hand seems as if they are not happy to play in the third place play off because that was not the same performance put up against Nigeria in the semi final. Congratulations to Bafana Bafana for winning the third place of this year tournament but that was not the best from them.

Today is the final day to round up the AFCON tournament for the year 2023. The host country will play against the giant of Africa. These two sides are strong opponents and the previous results justifies how they've been locking head in most of their meetings. It's definitely not going to be an easy game for both of them but our support is behind the super eagle tonight.
The bronze medal match is one that’s alway met with sluggishness because both teams haven’t been able to perform exceedingly in the final and they’re not majorly happy with the round they’re playing at. And that was shown in yesterday’s match. The match was met with sluggishness from both teams and one that was very recognizable was that of South Africa as this wasn’t the way they played the Super Eagles some days back. DR Congo were majorly unlucky in the match and the penalty shootout as they took the lead in the shootout but lost it at a point.

 The final is today and it’s going to be on tight fixture. As the host will ay the Super Eagles and these two teams have improved overtime in the competition and they come from the same group. Well I still throw my weight on Nigeria to win because they’ve got a rock solid defense and a reliable goalie and they’ve got fast paced attackers and wingers who’re always available when they’re called upon.

Actually, this is not a curse for Harry Kane, it's just that this player is experiencing bad luck and is unlucky, because while he was at Tottenham he also had not tasted the Premier League title even though he had been a productive striker at the club, while at Bayern Munich his career was not going well. smoothly because Leverkusen has surprisingly performed extraordinary this season, making it difficult for Bayern Munich to win the league title if Leverkusen does not experience a decline, but Bayern Munich is still performing well because they have also only experienced 2 defeats in so many matches because Leverkusen's unbeaten record makes it difficult for Bayern Munich to rank first.

Bayern Munich spending a lot of money to buy Harry Kane is not something to regret because Harry Kane also performed well at Bayern Munich and was a productive striker. Without Harry Kane, maybe Bayern Munich would not have scored as many goals as now, so even though in the end Bayern Munich failed to win the title bundesliga he can still fight in the Champions League because in my opinion Bayern Munich still has a chance of around 50% with other rival rivals.
Well Harry shouldn’t be thinking if this is a curse as this ain’t a curse, just that he was at the club when some other club picked up form and is dominating. Leverkusen aren’t looking relentless in their pursuit and are looking already like the winners of the league. I really appreciate Xabi Alonso for his good effort to bring this club to limelight and also keep them going.

 Bayern fell to a loss and this is one heavy loss that’s already affecting the team especially making them lose hope in their title chase. Though the pattern of Thomas is also one factor affecting them as Thomas Tuchel's pattern haven’t favored the generally. They shouldn’t regeret Harry Kane signing as he’s still leaving up to expectations rather they should get a coach whose philosophy will fit this Bayern team and then they’ll do magic both in the league and across Europe.

Since Daniele De Rossi was appointed as the manager of AS Roma after the club sacked former manager Jose Mourinho, he's been able to win all the games he's managed before tonight's home league game against Inter Milan and that actually made many especially the club fans to think that they stand a chance of winning against Inter Milan or at least getting a draw from that game but unfortunately for them, Inter Milan was just too big for them to handle as the league leaders delivered an incredible performance to take all three points from the game.

Roma's defeat tonight I think will affect them when they play next week Thursday in the UEFA Europa League knockout play off away at Feyenoord. Roma to me lost the the right to be seen as favorites to win the UEFA Europa League this season when Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club's management as I don't think they stand a chance to reach the semi finals of the competition with Daniele De Rossi as the club manager
De Rossi era in charge of Roma started on a very good note as he hot them to having 3 points in every match he’s managaed them. This is one sort of boost and it made many of the fans feel they’ll stand a chance against Inter Milan. Well the usual or expected happened as Inter got the victory of 2-4 and gave themselves a solid lead on top the league standings. This defeat is one De Rossi should sit back and check what went wrong.

 Proper analysis of this match will help especially as the Europa League reaumes and Roma will be having a strong opponent in Feynoord. Roma had their say in the match against Inter but weren’t able to keep up for long, so I think if there’s proper analysis of the match with Inter then they could probably get something off the match against Feynoord and qualify past this stage of The competition.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 10, 2024, 10:49:56 PM

I have to admit that Daniele De Rossi team performed well in the first half and if this can last until the end of the match and is able to get a win after beating Inter, I'm sure De Rossi will get the first praise after many people doubted the coach.
previously De Rossi was a recommendation from Mourinho and it made me think that this coach would fail to bring Roma to a higher level but in this match in the first half Roma was ahead with 2 points while Inter was only able to get 1 point and I saw Roma this time very so aggressive that it even made it difficult for Inter Milan defenders to keep up with Roma playing style.

but don't despair for Inter supporters because I am sure that Inzaghi will have a surprise in the second half or at least it could end in a draw but I think Inter will still win.
De Rossi team really gave us surprises based on how they performed generally in this match. Yes they had 2 goals in the first half and tried to contain Inter Milan in this game. Inter Milan have been a great team and Roma though they’re under rebuilding phase, they tried so hard to get up to the pace of Inter Milan. Inter Milan have been one great team and they won this match which showed class and showed why they’re the league leaders.

 They got the victory today and that was a big determinant and boost for them in the league. Now Roma should note the problem of the shaky defense line and try to work on it as they could be able to offer a lot in this campaign with De Rossi in charge. Therefore they really need to help him strengthen the squad by summer.
1095  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 10, 2024, 10:29:30 PM
Today I really feel confused about which match is worth watching, because 3 very decisive Bigmatches from three different leagues are being played today at the same time, in the Spanish League there is a match between Madrid vs Girona, in Serie A there is Intermilan vs Roma and while in Bundesliga Leverkusen vs Munchen, in the other two leagues the big teams have been temporarily ahead, but I was quite surprised when I saw the footage on the television screen that Bayern Munich were currently 1-0 behind Leverkusen, looking at the statistics and a glance at the current Bayern vs Leverkusen match, it looks like Bayern is very difficulties and in fact I didn't see their performance as usual, even when I looked at the match statistics, Leverkusen was quite in control of all lines and Leverkusen even managed to create 9 opportunities with 5 of them being shots on target, while Bayern were only able to create 3 shots and only 1 on target, this is clearly a warning for Tuchel to think about other strategies in penetrating Leverkusen defense and the second half should be an opportunity for Tuchel to get around the deadlock in their attack line, I think Munich will have to play a slightly different game today because the strategy implemented by Tuchel looks quite easy read by leverkusen players.
We’ve got some big matches going down across the various leagues in Europe this weekend, and almost seems to be one to watch. The match between Real and Girona is one big match and I expect Madrid to sure get the win in this encounter. Roma vs Inter was one difficult one but Inter somehow managed to get all 3 points infront of the Roma fans though they played a good football but they lost though. Our focus is on the match between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.

 Leverkusen really had a victory in this match and are sitting pretty on top the league with about 5 points clear ofd Bayern. This match proved how Leverkusen let Bayern dominate the possession but they were able to take their chances and were 3-0 up. This means Bayern will have lots of work to do if they want to have a shot at the league else I think the league belongs to Leverkusen.

Liverpool are also as serious as Manchester city to win the Premier League. Arsenal look like they will be dropped out at some point because of the heat of Liverpool and Manchester City. All three Liverpool forwards scored goals today against Burnley, Nunez, Jota and Diaz to get Liverpool back to winning. Bad weekend for Burnley and Everton who both loose their games and will remain at the bottom of the table.
Well the weekend is back and we’ve got some fun EPL matches going down as we have the results affecting both the teams in the top positions and the teams in the bottom of the table. The big matches of Liverpool and City were big worries for Burnley and Everton. But our focus remains on Liverpool and City’s strength in the league title. These two clubs have proven to be determined and relentless in how they chase for the league as we’ve got both teams all trying to meet up with each other and fight so hard.

 Manchester City had their wins this weekend and that saw them secure their spot on top of the table. Not long after, Liverpool got the win and this saw City drop down a little; this is the fun of the EPL. Arsenal will sure need a win tomorrow to show that they’re still rock solid in the league title chase, though I don’t see them keeping up for long in this chase as Liverpool and City are very dominant in this chase.

surprises can definitely happen, especially in UCL matches like last season, no one thought that Man City would be able to win the UCL title
Barcelona is one of the popular teams and has experience in the UCL in the past, but currently it is experiencing a bad trend because the lack of players is one of the causes of this bad situation, but that does not rule out the possibility of failure for Barcelona, but in fact, with the existing players, it is impossible Barcelona was able to break through to the final round while other teams that have the same high popularity, such as Real Madrid and Man City, have very high quality players according to what the coaches want, while Barcelona can only get players from the transfer market for free.

I'm not doubting Barcelona but I'm just saying the truth that we have to accept that as long as Barcelona doesn't have good financial quality, it will definitely be difficult to win a title in the UCL because finances are very important for the team to be able to bring in players who have very reliable talent to be able to help Barcelona to achieve its glory days in the UCL and for now perhaps Barcelona will only be able to reach the semi finals.
Finance is one very big aspect of football and without it, the team suffers. This is the fate Barcelona are currently facing as they’re having a poor run of form because they don’t have the financial capability to get the signings they want. Now they have to hope on Luck and experience to succeed especially as they’re still in the UCL. The fact now is that kost of these players dont have ge wide vast of experience needed in an European competition and they can’t be seen as a team with experience for the European title.

 So I feel, Barcelona will really have a lot of work to do when it comes to succeeding as they’ll try to get better players who’ll be able to leave for free or for cheaper price as this is what’s key for the club to succeed. Luck might not probably work for them because Napoli is also one hungry side and would be able to cause Barcelona some worry in the UCL an would want to go to the next round of this competition.

Yes I think this was far superior and now Real Madrid won both games against Girona in La Liga and there is no doubt as to who the boss in the league is for now.

But I am negatively surprised because I thought that Girona would show a brave performance and that they would at least go all out and try to score a goal themselves. But this nothing of anything that they are known for. Girona had zero shots on target and two corners, which is quite disappointing for a team that is the strongest in the league offensively.

Since Real Madrid barely shows weaknesses this season, I think that this was an early decision in the race for the La Liga title. Girona did not win three out of their last five games whereas Real Madrid is consistently winning their games and only dropping last minute points against a top team like Atletico Madrid.
Despite the fact that Girona have improved this season, Real Madrid would always be superior to Girona, they've been very dominant in the Laliga for years, whereas Girona good form just started recently, well I appreciate their good effort in sitting up and trying to make a name for themselves in the Laliga but Marching Madrid is Something I don't think they're capable of yet, maybe in the future it would be very possible but right now, all they need is maintaining the top 4 in the league for more seasons to come.

  Girona didn't quit impress in that game, yes Real Madrid showed class In the game, but with the way they performed this season I expected Girona to fight back and atleast try to make the game very tough for Madrid to win, well this is one loophole they need to work on, else other teams might begin to understand the tactics of winning them.

It would be a huge mistake by Xabi Alonso if he decided to go to Barcelona. He has been building this remarkable project at Leverkusen and in my opinion he has already proven that he is ready to take on some of the biggest challenges. He could become an amazing coach for Liverpool and he has the perfect environment that suits him so well. He might not be as emotional as Klopp, but the connection between the fans and the coach and all other responsible people in the club will serve him well.

Barcelona has been struggling so hard and now when Xavi decided to leave the club at the end of the season, it seems that there have been issues going on behind the scenes. You are right that his status as a Real Madrid legend isn't a problem here, but as I said Barcelona doesn't seem to be the perfect club for him. Liverpool sounds like the perfect fit for him.

 You might think it would be a mistake to move there, but there are chance that he could succeed at Barcelona, they might be going through financial crisis and find it difficult to give him the necessary funds to attract top players or rising stars into the club, but Barcelona is a club with top talents all they need is a little addition and a good manager to bring out the best in them like Alonso did with Leverkusen players. Therefore if he could succeed at Leverkusen with average players, why can't he do same at Barca?
 
 But the thing I have doubt about is if he'll be moving to Barcelona, I don't see that happening, especially now that Jurgen Kloop has made open his plans of resignation at the end of the tournament, that's a big opportunity for Alonso to coach one f his previous club and we all know how well good coaches admire moving to the EPL, I think Xabi won't waste time moving to Liverpool if they come calling.

Klopp wanting to get a premier league title before he resigns is definitely on the table and he is getting there slowly. City is still doing great and there is a possibility that they could win the title, and that wouldn't be really a shocker neither, it would make sense and I can see that happening for sure.

However, if Liverpool does end up winning it, that would be fun to see. I am not saying that it is going to be all that easy or anything like that, it is just that we are talking about something that would be a great farewell to a great manager. I hope that people could realize that they could end up with something much better, Liverpool getting both premier league, fa cup and europa cup all on his last season is valid possibility.
That's really his target before resignation, and to be honest it would be lovely if he achieves that. Just like other great coaches like Sir Alex that won a trophy before their Resignation Klopp would add the list and that's why he's trying his best to add one or two trophies to his record, he's close to that but not as close enough, cause City pose to be a very big threat to Klopp achieving the EPL this season.

  Yeah you're right, adding another EPL title to Liverpool before his resignation would make lots of sense,however Liverpool would really miss Klopp if his resigns and I fear things could get worst for the club if they fail to replace him with a good manager, they could end up like Manchester United, that been struggling to achieve the EPL since the resignation of Sir Alex Ferguson. And that would be very bad for Liverpool.
