Maybe he will be better with Tottenham and he is just on loan if Tottenham is not happy with his performance then they will surely bring him back to Leipzig again but maybe Timo Werner could be happy with Tottenham we can not say for sure and could change his way of playing in another team, well, sometimes there are players that changes their attitude or sometimes and if depends if they are happy with that team, maybe Timo Werner is like that we will not know for sure if we will not see him in action,
I think Werner could succeed at Tottenham, because Ange has mode things change massively at Tottenham. I remember people, including Tottenham fans, said that most of their players were bad, but they change drastically under Ange this season. Player transfers and loan moves often bring about changes in performance and attitude, and it's reasonable to consider the possibility that a change of scenery could benefit Werner.

The fact that the move is a loan implies that there's flexibility for both parties. If Werner finds success and satisfaction with Tottenham, it could lead to a more permanent arrangement or a positive change in his playing style. He will be  the successor of Kane. Players indeed have the capacity to adapt and evolve based on the environment and the team they are a part of. A change in team dynamics, coaching style, or even the overall atmosphere can sometimes bring out the best in a player. Timo Werner may find a better fit at Tottenham.

In the end PSG won the match by a huge margin of 9-0. Mbappe scored 3 goals and an assist in today's match. PSG players played well. The match was not very important for them. Still Luis Enrique formed his best squad today to give confidence to the squad players. Goncalo Ramos scored a goal from the penalty spot. Asensio scored two goals and an assist. Muani also scored two goals. PSG's players will be more confident in the upcoming matches after a big 9-0 win in this match. They have the potential to improve overall gameplay.
Such a substantial margin shows their superiority in the French football competition. The fact that key players like Mbappe, who scored three goals and provided an assist, played a pivotal role in this triumph is a testament to PSG's depth and star power. The decision by Luis Enrique to field the best squad reflects a commitment to maintaining a high level of performance and boosting the confidence of squad players. This strategic move not only secured a resounding victory but also ensured that the team continues to build cohesion and rhythm.

Scoring from various players emphasizes the team's overall strength and ability to distribute goal-scoring responsibilities across the squad. The positive impact on PSG's players' confidence cannot be understated. A 9-0 win is a morale booster and will undoubtedly contribute to a more positive mindset in upcoming matches. This kind of victory provides the players with a sense of accomplishment and reinforces their belief in their potential to perform at a high level.

In my own opinion, I think it was an important win and also a big win for Liverpool because it's actually not easy to beat a strong English Premier League club like Arsenal. It was a very difficult game for both sides as the two clubs searched for a win in the game but it was Liverpool who first found the net after Arsenal player scored an own goal.

I think it was game that Liverpool were destined to win if you ask me because had Arsenal converted their own chances, the result of the game might have been different from what we saw today. Liverpool have successfully eliminated Arsenal from the English FA Cup and have progressed to the next round of the competitive.
Won against a strong team of Arsenal's caliber when two best players out is always a significant achievement. The difficulty of the game for both sides further emphasizes the significance of the win. Liverpool had to work hard to secure their victory with an own goal and last minute goal. The own goal by an Arsenal player is just part of the game and Liverpool's ability to capitalize on the mistakes of their opponents at the ending minutes showcases their opportunistic style of play, a trait of successful teams.

The argument that Liverpool was destined to win the game can be supported by the idea that football outcomes are often influenced by key moments and turning points. Eliminating Arsenal from the English FA Cup is a noteworthy achievement. Cup competitions are particularly challenging, and progressing to the next round demonstrates Liverpool's desire to compete on multiple fronts. It also indicates their capability to handle the pressure of knockout stages and perform when it matters.

PSV - Dortmund matchup could also be evaluated as one of the close matchups. Because PSV aren't a weak team and can't be underestimated. Especially by Dortmund I mean. Dortmund have had a really good run in the Champions League so far. I must admit that. However they are still inconsistent in general when we add their performance in the Bundesliga into account as well.

If they can't make any progress until their Champions League first leg game I don't know what kind of a Dortmund we would watch on the pitch against PSV. But as long as they don't lose their focus on the Champions League they should still be able to stay one step ahead.  Smiley
It's clear that PSV shouldn't be underestimated, and any assumptions about Dortmund's success should be made with caution. Dortmund's impressive run in the Champions League is noteworthy, but domestic league form can often be an indicator of a team's overall performance, and it raises questions about Dortmund's ability to maintain consistency across different competitions.

Momentum and form leading up to crucial fixtures can significantly influence a team's performance. If they face challenges in their domestic league that affect their confidence or form, it could impact their effectiveness against PSV. Maintaining focus in the Champions League is paramount for any team with aspirations of success. However, it's worth noting that the unpredictability of football means that any opponent, including PSV, can pose a significant challenge.

These two teams are really being taken into account this season because both Leverkusen and Liverpool are equally strong this season. If we look at their performance in the domestic league, we can see that both teams are leading the standings. Even Leverkusen have so far not lost in the Bundesliga and also in the European league they have been able to get full points in every match they have played. So, we have to see how consistent Xabi Alonso and Jurgen Kloop are in bringing their team to go far in the European league this season.

Liverpool does have better quality players compared to Leverkusen because we know that Salah is the best player at the moment and he has quite good skills compared to other players in the European league this season. Thus, Liverpool may have a better chance of winning the title compared to Leverkusen this season.
Arguing that Liverpool has a better chance of winning the title based on individual player quality may oversimplify the dynamics of football. While Salah is undoubtedly a key player for Liverpool, Leverkusen's success may be attributed to their collective team effort, tactical approach, and the cohesion displayed by the entire squad. Leverkusen's unbeaten record in the Bundesliga and perfect performance in the European league suggest a well-rounded and formidable team.

They might  like Salah, but Leverkusen could compensate the lack of a standout players with a more balanced and cohesive team, with multiple players contributing to their success. one other important thing is their priority that implies their attitude facing the competition. It's well-known that Liverpool might not see UEL as a prestigeous trophy.

Football is a business field, Messi and his colleagues are magnets that attract many fans to come to the stadium by buying tickets, jerseys and whatever. Despite their age, MLS is a place to have fun before deciding to retire as a professional soccer player. Maybe the FFP rules there are not as strict as in the top European leagues, they can pay their players' salaries from other sources, so they don't really need to pay attention to the club's financial balance.

Of course the presence of former European players in MLS will have an impact on the competitiveness of the League, and I think in terms of transfers MLS is still far behind the Saudi Pro League. However, these two leagues are a field for players to increase their income, because of course players who come to MLS or SPL get very special treatment.
The commercial aspect of football is undeniable, and star players have a significant impact on a club's revenue through ticket sales, merchandise, and other related income streams. Star players, especially Messi's caliber, act as significant attractions for fans. Their presence not only boosts the team's popularity but also contributes to the overall entertainment value of the league.

The lifestyle, competitive environment, and lower pressure compared to European leagues can make it an appealing choice for players at that stage. The presence of former European players adds a layer of experience and skill to the league. This contributes to the growth and development of football in the United States. The less strict of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rule allows clubs to operate with more flexibility, possibly relying on alternative revenue sources to sustain their financial operations. Saudi Pro League with significant financial backing might attract high-profile signings, but MLS offers its own unique advantages, such as exposure to a growing football culture and a diverse fanbase.

Mental fatigue isn't really the issue I think. Or maybe it is but only a little bit I would say. I don't think they are close to being burned out or something like that. It's a fact that their most important players are missing for now and that they will soon return. I guess that their performance will improve upon the return of Haaland and De Bruyne. I know that they haven't been playing that well when Haaland was around, but still De Bruyne could be like a new transfer if he stays free of injuries for the rest of the season.
Hypotically 2 points ( 5 points + 1 game in hand) gap doesnt really show something bad happening to Manchester City, that's something normal every season, unless the expectation for Manchester City is too high. I think the absence of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, and previously Rodri due to suspension, is the reason for them to not collect best results. I dont see any sign of mental fatigue or burnout.

Rodri, Haaland and De Bruyne are pivotal to the success of Manchester City, both in terms of creating goal-scoring opportunities and influencing the overall dynamics of the game. Having these players back in the lineup can inject fresh energy and quality into the team. But out of all names, Kevin de Bruyne has the biggest impact on the team. Haaland become less effective without him on the pitch. The skill set and ability of De Bruyne to impact the game can be akin to a new signing. If he can contribute consistently without being hampered by injuries, it can significantly elevate the team's performance.

Fiorentina failed again in today match because they had to give up against Sassuolo. Even though this match was an opportunity for them to move up to 3rd place if they were able to win, they failed to do so. Meanwhile, for Bologna, they also failed to get full points in yesterday match, so the two teams below AC milan failed to take advantage of the opportunity to reduce their points gap this week. So for Fiorentina they are very focused on targeting a top 4 place as their target this season.

If Fiorentina fails again in the next match, it will give Atalanta, Roma and Napoli an opportunity to catch them. I think the competition is getting more interesting in Serie A because the instability of some teams will make the rankings change every week. For Inter milan, they are quite safe for now as leaders of the standings because they are 5 points ahead of Juventus.
Lost to Sassuola is a setback for Fiorentina. This gives a chance for Milan to widen points gap with them. Aiming a top 4 finish should be a realistic target for now. By consistently aiming for the higher positions in the league, they are positioning themselves for potential European competition, which is not only prestigious but also financially lucrative for the club. The instability of some teams and the potential for rankings to change weekly create an environment where every match is crucial, making Serie A being more exciting and competitive football leagues.

Fiorentina need to win their next games to avoid bigger pressure that comes from Bologna, Atalanta, Roma, and Napoli. The presence of strong competitors in the race for the top 4 spots adds intensity and intrigue to the league, as teams are constantly jockeying for position. Inter Milan leading the League comfortably showcases their current dominance in Serie A. Being 5 points ahead of Juventus provides them with a cushion, but it also underscores the need for other teams, including Fiorentina, to maintain consistency to keep pace.

By the way, I got the impression that everyone forgot about Lewandowski - they used to criticize him, now they simply ignore him. He only has 8 goals scored, which is terrible for a striker of his caliber. I don’t even know whether Barcelona will have time to sell him to Saudi Arabia in the summer, whether the sheikhs will be interested in him.
Currently, Lewandowski's performance is at a slightly worrying point because of the decline in performance that occurred.
The comparison is very pronounced when talking about this season and the previous season because of several factors such as when last season he was always spoiled because of several players who opened up space and in very good situations but this season he didn't really get that. In addition, injury problems seem to haunt Lewa in this case because after the injury suffered at the beginning of the season indirectly made his performance decline and without the good space-opening control that Pedri or Gavi always do, the situation is even worse for Lewandowski now.

Xavi should provide other options at this point because forcing Lewandowski now with these conditions will make it even more difficult for Barcelona actually and the scheme that is carried out even if the possession is good but when there are no opportunities that can be converted into goals then this is still very difficult for Barcelona to get out of the zone at this time.
It's evident that Robert Lewandowski's current performance is a cause for concern. The absence of players, one after another like Pedri and Gavi after De Jong and Gundogan, who opened up space for him have played a role in his declining form. Considering these circumstances, it makes sense to explore alternative options and strategies. Relying heavily on Lewandowski, especially when he's not at his peak due to injury and other factors, might not be the most effective approach for Barcelona.

Xavi should assess the team dynamics and consider adjustments to maximize goal-scoring opportunities. Xavi could tweak the team's tactical approach to create more goal-scoring opportunities. This might involve changes in formations, positioning of players, or even introducing new patterns of play to unlock defenses. Giving opportunities to other forwards or attacking midfielders might provide fresh impetus and creativity in the final third. Focusing on enhancing the skills and performances of other key players can alleviate the pressure on Lewandowski.

Bad news for Bayern Munich after losing Kim Min-jae have to pay for his national teams South Korea in AFC Asian Cup, its not good position because during Asian Cup begin take more than one month and Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae will absent until six domestic league matches.
Have many crucial in six matches later but Bayern Munich have to find new player for filling Kim Min-jae position on central defender,
have played all matches in domestic league and appearance 5 matches in Champion League seems he is most important player for Bayern Munich but Thomas Tuchel must find right replacement on defender due six matches later Kim Min-jae will absent and participants in AFC Asian Cup with South Korea.
He is an important player in the team because only Alphonso Davies has played more matches (23) than Kim-Jae (22) this season, which simply means that Bayern Munich needs to sign a temporary defender for the main time before the end of the season.

Bayern will also lose Sarr, and Choupo-Moting to Cameroon due to Africa Cup of Nation's competition; but this will not affect the team that much because they both played 19 matches each so far in the competitions which means they have other players that will play their respective positions.
The absence of these players, especially Kim Min-jae requires a strategic approach from coach Thomas Tuchel to ensure the team continuing the progress. I think this is a big test for Tuchel on  how he will guide bayern with tough compotition in the league posed by Leverkusen. It's well-known that Tuchel hasn't had full support from Bayern Fans who demand a much better performances and a convincing competition like they used to.

Tuchel must assess the team's current defensive roster and potentially explore the transfer market for a temporary solution. The replacement should be able to seamlessly integrate into the team's playing style and contribute defensively. With several key players absent, Tuchel might need to rotate the squad wisely during this period. He needs to manage player fatigue and ensure that the remaining squad members are in peak condition for crucial domestic and Champions League matches. Bayern Munich has a strong squad depth, and this period without key players is an opportunity for others to step up. Players who have had limited playing time thus far might seize this chance to prove their worth and contribute meaningfully to the team.

But think about it, if you were around 10 years of age and you are extremely talented in football, you have your idols and you are dreaming of certain leagues where you would love to one day play, would Ligue 1 be part of your dreams? This is the biggest problem I think for clubs from France. PSG is an exception because they can make up for a bad experience with money. Playing in Spain or England is very different from playing in France. El Clasico in Spain, the derbies in England and so many other things that are great in those leagues. The only thing that could convince you to go to France is money. No young talent would ever go to France if clubs from Spain and England are also interested.
It's said that even an absolute success in Ligue 1 won't put your name written in the history of football. Ligue 1 doesn't have the same quality and global recognition as La Liga or the Premier League. France has a rich footballing history as a country, but players who played in Ligue 1 are rarely mentioned as legends in football world. The quality and perception of a league often influences how players and their achievements are remembered in the football world.

If Mbappe has big ambition in his footballing career, it would be rational decision to move to La Liga or Premier League. The only reason for Mbappe to stay at PSG is that he accepts an offered big money by PSG.  That only means he just doesnt have big ambition and chooses to stay in his comfort zone by always being the best in his own backyard.

Chelsea played a very good game; they dominated the match completely, they proved to be the best team in the match, their players showed quality, and they won the match at the end, which is exactly as expected by so many people, including Chelsea fans, because it will not be good if Chelsea is eliminated in the FA Cup. Chelsea needs to look serious in the FA Cup; they need to win the FA Cup to do the same thing as Manchester United did last season so that their fans will have relief from all the players they signed for huge amounts of money, so that the team management will feel relief and the team will be able to sign more players by avoiding financial fair play.
Chelsea won the match against Preston is just something expected, nothing special in that win. I wouldn't say they proved and showed anything in the match, because preston is just a second division team who sit 14th on the table. But this win is good for the mentality of Chelsea's squad who need prioritize this competition to gain silverware as mentally compensation for their disaster in the league. Chelsea being superior team by winning convincingly is just a well-done job to  continue their progression on building a solid team.

Meeting the expectations of both fans and pundits is crucial for maintaining the team's credibility. Chelsea fans, in particular, expect success in the FA Cup, and winning such matches aligns with these expectations. It ensures that the team is delivering on its promise and potential. Chelsea can provide relief to fans and management alike. Winning the FA Cup not only brings glory but also eases the pressure associated with significant player investments, fostering a positive atmosphere within the club. Success in the FA Cup is a crucial step towards the overall progression and development of the team. It contributes to a winning mentality and enhances the team's competitiveness in both domestic and international competitions.

Regarding Mbappe, I’d love to see him join Liverpool but realistically it’s just not going to happen.

Our owners are too cheap and would never pay the huge wages and likely significant signing on fee that M appe would command. I think he will end up at Real Madrid.

Joining Liverpool would be great but they'll have to see  Luiz Diaz dropped off his left wing for Kylian Mbappe. I don't agree to most write ups saying Mo Salah needs to leave before Kylian Mbappe comes into the squad.

It might not even be Liverpool but also Manchester United who are also a better anx bigger club than Liverpool. I'd love to see another rivalry and competitive games in the Premier League between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. I see they're moving their own paths.

What happens when Real Madrid says they don't want him no more? He won't do more than himself. A move out of PSG this season will also not work.
The idea of having two of the brightest talents, Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, in the Premier League is undoubtedly exciting for football fans. It could intensify the competition between clubs and add another rivalries, enhancing the overall spectacle of the league.

Mbappe arrival could be another reason for Mo Salah to stay because he is the best creator in premier league to feed Mbappe with his passes. People seeing Salah needs to go for Mbappe to come is just solely the wage issue. Salah is the highest earner in Liverpool that supposes to free up financial expenditure. A trio of Salah, Gakpo, and Mbappe could potentially form a formidable attacking force for Liverpool. I dont Manchester United fit into the discussion for Mbappe destination for some reasons.

If you look at the position Manchester city are on this period, you will know that even though other injuries players join them to Play their remaining games, it will be difficult for them to take that position from Arsenal and Liverpool. I know that De Bruyne is among the potential players in Manchester city but their points has dropped to some point that De Bruyne cannot help the team to recover from the losses because, many teams has beaten them to achieved points from them.

Infant, this season is an interesting season that has surprised many people to see Liverpool taken over the premier league table but Erling Haaland and De Bruyne injuries make many team take advantage of them to be among the top team in the league .
I don't think It's difficult Manchester City to take the position from Arsenal. They are only 2 points behind Arsenal with one game in hand. Hypotically they should be above Arsenal. It's evident that injuries to crucial players can have a significant impact on a team's performance. But De Bruyne will now be back to contribute to Manchester City comeback.

The competitive nature of the Premier League makes it challenging for any team to recover lost ground easily. But I dont think that's case for Manchester City with the fact that they are still have the control for their own effort to compete. Liverpool losing some players due to injuries, AFCON and Asian Cup could also be advantage for Manchester City, because they have a better squad as of now.

This week Inter is playing Verona, Juventus is playing Salernitana, Milan is playing Empoli and Napoli is playing Torino. Only risky one I feel is the Napoli game, Torino is not far away from them and Napoli hasn't had much luck all year, so if they lose then my bet would not be okay.

However, I believe the rest will win, Inter is playing quite well and they are good enough to get a win without a doubt, and I also believe that Milan will not have any trouble at all, Empoli is doing terrible, Juventus is great too, they are trying to win the title so a win is must. Like I said, it is all about Napoli on this parlay, if I can make it work and Napoli wins then I am guessing that there will not be any issues at all for the rest.
Napoli playing against Torino does seem to carry a degree of risk, considering the close gap on table of the league. But this game is a test for Mazzari on how his team react to his tactics and play the game with determination to win. Napoli need the win for not only the points but also to boost up the team's mentality which is not at the best shape lately.

The other matches aligns with the form and performances of Inter, Juventus, and Milan, which will be surprises if any of them lost. While betting always involves an element of uncertainty, making rational analysis is a normal choice to make. any loss for the big teams will invite more pressure on their maintainance to keep fighting for a better position.

In the game against Las Palmas yesterday, Barcelona performed admirably. Even though the way the game started made me think Las Palmas would win, they played a really strong game and didn't let Barcelona level; instead, they made a mistake in the second half. The game was really hard, and I had expected more from Las Palmas, but they were unable to maintain their consistency, which subsequently allowed Barcelona the opportunity to win the match in the second half of the competition.
Watching the game Las Palmas vs Barcelona gives impression that any team in La Liga can give a tough fight against Barca. It doesnt really seem how Barca used to be so scary. Barca seemed lucky to able to capitalize on their mistake in the second half, but they demonstrates the importance of staying focused and taking advantage of opportunities in a match.

Maintaining a high level of performance throughout the entire game for Las Palmas can be challenging. Barcelona's ability to navigate a challenging match and secure a win is something to show that they still have the competitiveness and adaptability on the field. But It's unsustainable to concede first in the game which they are expected to win comfortably.

Jeremie Frimpong is an important part of the Leverkusen squad for their progress this season. Of course, Leverkusen move to keep him is a good choice. Jeremie Frimpong has so far played 16 matches and recorded 5 goals, of course this has proven quite good quality as a defender. Xabi Alonso has seen the great potential that Jeremie Frimpong has so he will try hard to keep him in the next summer transfer window. So far, with Leverkusen good performance in the Bundesliga, several Leverkusen players have become targets for elite European teams.

Even Arsenal are reportedly interested in getting Boniface in the January transfer window. Of course Leverkusen Management in this transfer window has received many big offers from elite European teams for their players and I hope they can stabilize the opportunities that exist, meaning they have to think long and hard in the decisions they take. Leverkusen are building up their strength this season so it would be very bad if one of their key players left for another club in the January transfer window.
Jeremie Frimpong has been a standout performer for Bayer Leverkusen that contributes significantly with both defensive capabilities and an impressive goal tally for a wing-back. It's understandable that European teams signifies the high regard to him. Maybe it will be hard for Leverkusen to keep him next season if they dont secure his contract extension soon remembering many elite teams in the need of a good wing-back.

The decision-making process for Leverkusen's management during the transfer window becomes crucial. While the financial incentives from big offers can be tempting, it's equally important for Leverkusen to consider the impact on team dynamics and their overall goals for the season. Losing a key player, particularly in the January transfer window, could potentially disrupt the team's momentum. Leverkusen will likely aim to strike a balance between maximizing potential transfer revenue and maintaining a competitive team for the ongoing season. It's an intricate decision-making process that requires strategic thinking and consideration of both immediate and future team needs.

Chelsea will need some strategic changes which may include some of their players Ben sold out and possibly a Change of coach because they seem to have their issues ranging from their tactics, players down to the coach and it's not looking like they are getting any better except theyfix these issues with their coach and a few players.

For this season I doubt if they will be able to finish top four in the premier league or even secure a trophy by the end of the season because they don't look like they have the form and the ability to do such, they have really unstable performance this season, at some point we would think they are already getting better and at the other they turn out even worse especially when facing smaller teams but with big team they try to put up a fight and probably show their prowess nevertheless they haven't done enough to earn them much this season, they need to really improve.
I don't think the sales of players and changing the manager will solve their problems, It will even adds more problems. Rather than an immediate need for a change in coaching staff, Chelsea might benefit from tactical adjustments and a more adaptive approach. A thoughtful analysis of their current strategies and potential modifications could be a more nuanced solution.

Selling players can be a drastic measure, and it's crucial to evaluate whether the team's struggles stem from individual performance or if players need time to adapt and develop. Chelsea's ability to compete with larger teams suggests they have the talent but may need to address issues related to motivation or approach when facing supposedly weaker opponents. Making drastic changes mid-season is always not the best approach. A more measured and strategic evaluation, possibly in collaboration with the current coaching staff, can help identify areas for improvement and set a roadmap for the future.

Currently, PSG actually does not have any problems or very serious arrivals, especially in bringing in the players they are targeting because they do have money and there are no problems with their finances. but the problem is that sometimes PSG faces conditions that are quite difficult to overcome when they play in the UCL. There have been many opportunities for PSG to really strengthen this. It should have been measured, not just differences, because after all, in the French League, no one could compete with PSG's dominance. Now, the conditions are very different when PSG are in the UCL, especially now that they have entered zone 16, which incidentally would usually be an even tougher match.
The contrast in competition levels between Ligue 1 and the UCL knockout stages is indeed notable. Navigating through the UCL knockout rounds is a different ball game, and even with considerable resources, PSG encounters difficulties. Perhaps the team needs to strategize and adapt to the more intense and competitive environment of European football.

Success in the UCL often requires a blend of individual brilliance, tactical astuteness, and team cohesion. Addressing the hurdles in the UCL challenges and fine-tuning their game plan for tougher opponents in the knockout stages could be key for PSG to make a deeper impact in the competition.

Talking about Real Madrid been in form, I would agree but Liverpool, not so much. Though they might be at the top of the EPL, their performance is below anything I would like to call a team in form. They aren’t particularly bad I can give them that and they’ve got the top of the table go show for it but, they are not consistent.
Am in form team needs to be consistent, winning games, getting points out of tough fixtures but, I was amazed Liverpool couldn’t manage it and beat Manchester United, didn’t even share points with them. Even though they had the upper hand all game.
Liverpool being conceded first in most games and lacking cleansheet make people think that they are not good in performances. maybe it's true, but they are not worse than any other team for sure. That's all it needs to win competition, just being being a bit better than any other team without the need to play beautiful football. Basic rule for being the best is collecting the most points, perhaps Liverpool is doing this.

Consistency is indeed a key factor in maintaining a team's form, and it goes indeed beyond just securing victories against weaker opponents. Winning tough fixtures, especially against direct competitors, is a significant indicator of a team's strength and form. But indicator remains indicator, not an undisputed proof to say things. Being only lost one game with most points collected is an undisputed proof of a team being consistent enough to be a serious contender.
