Another thing is Barcelona right now is concentrating more on the La Liga title. So, I am not very confident about winning against Manchester United. Manchester United on the other hand has shown some significant improvements.

maybe Barcelona is very concentrated on La Liga. now is another opportunity they can't ignore for both of them after their UCL exit.
now Madrid also appears dominant in La Liga. if Xavi does not take advantage of the opportunities that exist, Barca may also lose hope for the La Liga trophy.
I still hope Barca will win the game against United. although team-wise we can see United looking better.

@Pandu Geddon I believe that Barcelona player’s will be distracted, because now De Jong has been rumoured to say that he wishes to leave Barcelona and join Manchester United. Furthermore Manchester United player’s are getting better and better with each game that they play, hence I expect them to defeat Barcelona easily and progress to the next round.

You will notice that India is second only to China in terms of population in the world and everyone in India loves cricket from their heart.  A huge amount of money is spent on this cricket in India every year.  70% of the cost of cricket around the world comes from ICC India.  If India loses in any major event especially the World Cup then the people of India do a great loss to India.  Cricketers from all countries except Pakistan participate in the IPL which is organized in India every year.  This is like a festival for cricket lovers.

When the IPL started in 2008, no one ever imagined that it would grow to become the behemoth it is today. Back then the Indian economy was not doing great and the media interest outside India was insignificant. Most expensive icon player was Sachin Tendulkar, who was purchased for $975,000 by Mumbai Indians. During the auctions, Mahendra Singh Dhoni attracted a bid of $1,500,000. Mumbai Indians was the most expensive team, brining $111.9 million to the BCCI. Now compare this to Lucknow Super Giants, which was sold for almost $1 billion.

@Sithara007 I vividly remember the 2008 IPL and all credits goes to Lalit Modi, but after he was ousted out of power I thought that IPL would end but the upward trajectory of IPL has shocked all including me.

However if it continues to become bigger and bigger in duration then I’ll completely stop watching it, and I’m sure that many other fan’s too will boycott it as it’s USP was that it was a quick tournament but now it’s been made longer just to please the advertisers which is really disappointing in my personal opinion.

It is really not easy to be confident about anything as for the Liverpool - Real Madrid matchup.

Liverpool are favoured according to the odds for now. But there is no clear favourite in this. Both teams have the strength to eliminate each other. I mean that I know Liverpool's condition in the English Premier League. But they aren't the same in the Champions League. Despite the bad start against Napoli they performed great later on. Real Madrid are already well-known by their great successes here. They are in good shape as well. I expect a competitive matchup here.
With the current form of Liverpool in English premier league I think Liverpool is not strong enough to defeat Real Madrid.  Liverpool has been having problems in their performance.  I don't think their performance in the game they will be playing against Real Madrid will like how it used to be in previous season.
There will be so many things to happen just like liverpool will have codygakpo as a new player that will enter into the team very soon. It's still too long to know that if liverpool will not able to defeat madrid. Madrid can the advantage from the inconsistent performance that has been showing by liverpool. The only problem is whether liverpool will be going into the better form once cody gakpo will be joining in the squad.
This question is a hard question to be answered. I saw that benzema has been actively playing again with real madrid and it seems like that benzema has fully recovered from his injury.
that's gonna become the worst dream for liverpool as the best striker for last year has been coming back again to the field. Benzema gonna be a very dangerous player that may make liverpool out from UCL

@X-ray the current Liverpool team is short on confidence and Klopp has so far failed to inspire them, and if he doesn’t fix majority of the issues then they’ll not be able to be beat Madrid even with the addition of Gapko (my analysis changed after seeing Liverpool’s yesterday’s game).

Furthermore Real Madrid should dip in the transfer window and buy a player as a backup for Benzema, but if Benzema is fit then he’ll definitely cause Liverpool lots of trouble and probably score the winning goal too.

It was a great 2022 for Stake.  I was shocked by their signing of Drake as a brand ambassador.  Surprised to see Stake all over YouTube on videos for the Nelk Boys, Stevewilldoit, Bradley Martin, and others.  Stake was all over the UFC on one of their most popular fighters, and opened up gambling in the United States with Stake.us.  On top of it all, they gave raises to their signature campaign participants here, and have kept a steady stream of bonuses for their uses.  Great all around year for Stake.  I'm curiously watching to see what unexpected things come in 2023.
Definitely one of the all time years for any casino ever. If we look at history, only better one could probably be the first time someone started build las vegas, it must have been some amazing story that could be made into a huge movie trilogy there too, but aside from that, after over half a decade, this year was probably the best for any casino ever.

Stake has NBA, UFC, Everton, Drake all under one brand and they are actually going bigger and bigger as well which is a huge huge deal if you ask me because that is the "peak" for most places. I wonder where they could go next? I mean this as big as it gets for anyone so far, hence we have no idea what's behind the new door they will go through.

@OgNasty I have to admit that getting Drake as a brand ambassador was a big coup for them, and it sends a clear message to all that Stake has no intention of slowing down instead they just want to keep on getting bigger and bigger in this competitive industry. Also it’s difficult to say what their 2023 plans are, but if I had to take a wild guess then I would say why not get Stake featured in a popular movie or some popular TV show’s? as that could get them further publicity and allow them to target a new set of audience.

New Zealand is currently touring Pakistan but the stadiums are empty even in the final two days of the match which is not that great. I expected to see some crowd but that was not the case.
What is the reason behind the lack of public crowd? There may be restrictions on general viewers or there is no presence of spectators due to Test match. As far as I know, few countries in Asia have the highest number of cricket fans. Pakistan is one of them. There must be any number of reasons behind the crowd. If there is no restriction. Hopefully we will be able to see a big crowd at that place when the ODI series starts from Jan 09.
I am a middle aged person and in my early days of cricket watching, I prefer only ODI but now I love test cricket as well. I developed interest in cricket by watching my performance of my national players; when I love my country, I watched only action packed cricket but when I started loving cricket itself, I started watching / following test cricket. All I am trying to say is, test cricket is for different audience who enjoy for temperament kind of skill in cricket.

From every country, there are people who love test cricket for different reasons but the percentage is very low compared to ODI or T20 and I am afraid this percentage may shrink further in coming years due to rise of social media.

@bitgolden there could be two possible reasons i.e. 1) people were in a vacation mode, and 2) people there don’t like to see test matches anymore. Lastly I feel that ODI series should witness better turnout, because both sides are competitive and the audience will love to cheer Pakistan as they’ll strongly believe that their country can win therefore I’m sure that they’ll turn up in large numbers to show their support for their country.

Dortmund was a good team but currently their performance is going bad. After Halland's departure, they could not add any player to fill Halland's place in their team. In view of which, Dortmund have some problems in attack.
Even more of main players in dortmund will be leaving. Moukoko and bellingham have been deciding their futures by moving forward to the another club rather than stay even longer in the dortmund. Even madrid has been preparing so much money to sign him from dortmund. It seems like that bellingham itself wanna to talk about his future in this month with dortmund. Dortmund wants to defend him but since some big offers were coming from the big club and dortmund can do nothing to defend him if he will be deciding to move from dortmund to the another club in this month.
It's a sure cycle for the dortmund rising star players to move out after a great years have been through , it's like they are doing the business really well and develop successfully many talented players over the past few years into a well transfer price tag , outstanding one to make money.
Dortmund was very professional in doing football busineses. Dortmund has been known to be a factory for the professional players. There are so many great players were coming from dortmund like haaland, lewandowski and many more.
It's just sad that dortmund risking it for having no trophy ;(
Dortmund has been exchanging it with bunch of money. You can easily get money from selling the players to the another team with high price. If you are aiming to get a trophy and you will get a prize for that. what's difference? dortmund knows the club has no chance to win the trophy. The management didn't wanna take a bet and try to play safe by selling the players with very high price.

@EdenHazard Dortmund need’s new rich owner’s, because only then will they be able to hold on to their best player’s and if that doesn’t happen then they’ll constantly lose their top performing player’s.

Furthermore it seems to me that young player’s know that they can develop well at Dortmund and accordingly they plan to leave for a bigger club post their development, and while we do blame Dortmund for selling but what if the young player’s don’t have any intentions of staying for long term and in that case is Dortmund really wrong to sell them?.

Juventus have a very strong team on paper, perhaps the strongest formation in Serie A, the problem is that the players argue with Allegri, I have always labeled the Juventus fans as occasional, when Allegri took them to the Champions League final everyone said that he was the best, now that the team doesn't follow him, everyone says #allegriout
I think it's not just about arguing but more about injuries. I mean allegri could handle this team as well as he possibly could, but that doesn't mean that he is going to end up with letting them get away with it. He is the one who build the formation and he is the one that will tell them where to stand and what to do and the players will have to follow that.

However, the injuries really hurt them a lot, they really need all the players they could get so that they would be actually good on paper. Right now they are good if they had no injuries, but from start of the season when they got so many losses and draws, it was due to them missing even more players.
In fact you are right, on every good team when an injury hits a player the swing is severely affected. Juventus have to perform well in the next matches if they want to do well. But they have some injured players in their team which will cause some problems for the team.

@sovie Juventus also had bad luck when Pogba got injured, because he was a top player when he used to play for Juventus and he could probably have transformed them but unfortunately he wasn’t able to be injury free this year. Furthermore Allegri is to be blamed for failing to inspire this Juventus squad, and honestly he needs to leave now so a new coach can rebuild this team and help bring back the club’s lost glory.

1 GT ticket from 40 spins or so is a good return.   I did a similar amount earlier and got 1x 5000 and 1x 500   rest base reward, so you got me beat on all counts :p       I've locked for a year in the majority but maybe like 50% across the other time frames also, just so its slightly more liquid.  I dont expect to really want to sell before another year has passed, thats my general take on the moves across crypto generally.

@STT I don’t exactly remember the number of spins but I too got GT ticket’s using WoF, however I have to admit that winning them is rare and this is something all should remember and not try and believe that they’ll win it after x number of spins. Lastly now I’m buying fun tokens at regular intervals and locking them up for 360 days, because I feel that in a year’s time their value will probably increase and I don’t want to sell them for low profit’s in the short term.

Not bad. Spurs didn't win, but Kane did get on the scoresheet, so I got that one easy. Then Newcastle stepped up and Almiron got his goal (so glad that he's not yet found a way to stop scoring after the break!), and that was probably my quickest 2/7 this entire season.

Then everything went to nothing after that. I stuck with JWP for so long, changed to Che Adams and he scores tonight -- after missing a penalty.

Of course, we all missed Mitrovic "easy pick" -- honestly thought he wasn't even playing but pops up with assist + goal. Figures!
Yeah, last one ended better than expected with 3/7 for me. This week's Majestic 7 looks much easier for me and we have all the usual players to pick in most games like Salah, Mitrović, Toney, Almiron and then 3 much tougher games. I went with Moore for Bournemouth but Solanke is maybe even better option, you can pick anybody from front 4 for Arsenal, don't even remember who was my pick, maybe Saka and then Chelsea where you really can't pick a goal scorer.

I also got Salah, Toney and Saka but looks like Liverpool spoiled the weekend.  I didn't watch the match but I feel like those two own goals by Leicester were what gave Liverpool some rope to win the match?  Lol.

Anyway, my complete picks for the weekend's fixtures.

Toney
Salah
Wood
Mitrovic
Zaha
Saka
Havertz

Got Toney down while Salah is out.  :/

@tokeweed I would suggest you to avoid selecting Salah, because he’s been really poor this season and I doubt that he’ll improve in the remaining game’s. Also I thought that Havertz was done at Chelsea and he would be sold in the January transfer window, but it seems like he has regained his form and he’s definitely a player that we all should monitor and continue to select him for our predictions.

No way Newcastle win the PL this season imo. Their squad depth is really poor, they’re playing Chris Wood FFS Cheesy
Almiron can’t keep this form up either, surely. Wouldn’t surprise me to see Newcastle hit some bad form & fall out of the top 4. The title is a 2 horse race his season, Arsenal vs Man City.
Not that I think they will, but stranger things has happened before, so I wouldn't be shocked about it neither. Leicester won as well, and that year it was one of the weirdest wins of all time. There was a dude with 5500.0 odds or something if I am not wrong, and I always found it weird because even at the start of this year, the lowest teams had like 500x at most.

In any case, Newcastle got a takeover and paid so much money on so many players and they are doing half decently right now and I am guessing that there is a small chance they could win. I am not saying it is likely, all I am saying is that it is not impossible for such a thing to happen at the very least.

@LFC_Bitcoin while Newcastle didn’t want to spend in January transfer window, but now I feel that they’ll reconsider because even if they don’t win the title they can at least finish second or third and secure an champions league spot, hence I feel that they should buy one or two player’s to assist their coach.

Furthermore if they somehow manage to beat Arsenal and City for the title then I wouldn’t be surprised, because they have worked really hard and definitely would deserve the title but currently Arsenal has a big lead so Newcastle will be hoping that Arsenal and City continue dropping points otherwise they’ll have to settle for an champions league spot.

Theoretically the way I look at it is that Nadal and Djokovic have pretty much developed their
game to the max whereas the younger generation and in particular Alcaraz are still developing.

Could be, we are already in 2022 era, so most likely this old guard will have to retire because they have max their potential already. To the point that when they tried, their body is no longer responding to them, the way we see on Federer and then it starts to deteriorate, wear and tear on this body caught up with the. But the good news is that we have a new set of players going to take over from them.

I would like to think that Alcaraz in 2023 will be much better than 2022 and should pose more
of a threat to everyone including Djokovic.

I agree, by leaps and bounds, sure in 2022 he had a break out run, but Alcaraz would dominate next year just like Djokovic did when he was younger. So it's good to see the old and the young generations fighting it out in any of the Grand Slams for next year.

That is something to really look forward to. The older generation and the next generation are playing at a better level than they did 10 years ago. The older players are losing their energy more slowly than the players 10 years ago. I always find it interesting to see how a new generation grows up and how the older players slowly understand that their time is over.

We only have the last 2 standing, Federer has retired and it seems that Rafa might be the next one, his body is also not doing good specially in the surface that he specialized because it really put a lot of stress.

So it might just be Djokovic against all new comers, he could be good for at least 2 years to battle and fought against the young generations lead by Alcaraz. So definitely next year will be an litmus test for them against Djokovic and to some extend Nadal if he can still play at clay.

@kemarit I strongly believe that Nadal and Djokovic will both play at least for one more year, but in 2024 either one of them or both could possibly call it quits as their bodies are barely keeping up these days. Furthermore I’m keen to see who’ll be the long term champion, because so far I don’t see any consistency in the current set of player’s and which makes me wonder if the records set by these 3 will ever be broken?.

Do you have any plan to place bet on New Zealand win? The odds is 3.20× for New Zealand win.
Way too risky. Pakistan can easily continue defending on this highway thanks to players like Imam, Babar etc which is why I bet on draw result at 1.18 odds.
Babar Azam, who was a dependable player, is gone. Currently, Babar and Sarfaraz Ahmed are playing. The Pakistani team lost four wickets but still trailed by 63 runs.

One possibility is that the match will be drawn, and the other is that New Zealand will win. For me, it is unfair to say that this game is already beyond New Zealand's control.
Babar Azam has been a reliable player but in his place Imam-ul-Haq Haq has been playing quite well with Sarfaraz Ahmed in partnership. Both have already managed to create a partnership of 54 runs. Imam-ul-Haq remains unbeaten on 71 runs while Sarfaraz Ahmed is on 42 runs.
If they can play like this then the match is more likely to be a draw. But if New Zealand can quickly get one or two wickets, the match can come under control. But it can be very difficult this time.

@BobK71 I feel that wagering on a draw is a safe bet, because it’s already lunch time and Pakistan batter's will continue to defend and frustrate New Zealand bowler’s. Furthermore if Pakistan set 150+ runs as a target then I feel that New Zealand will stop chasing it, because they’ll constantly be losing wickets and thus they’ll probably play it out for a draw too.

This Brazilian star Neymar is going to create a scene in this match that he was not ready at all.  But at the last moment, his performance caught the eye of the referee.  And the first yellow card was shown to Neymar, who received the first card for shoving a footballer from the club of Strasbourg into the field and immediately after he fell alone in the Dbox, the referee caught the eye of the referee and there he received another yellow card.  And in exchange for two yellow cards, the referee immediately sent him off the field with a red card.  The PFG star walked off the field with a sad heart and 10 players battled Strasbourg for PFG.

@Popkon6 the media has rightly compared his antics to Ronaldo who had left the stadium early while the game was yet on, but despite this I don’t expect Neymar to quit PSG.

Furthermore credit to Mbappe for all the emotions he must be feeling after not being able to win the World Cup, he gave it all for PSG and scored the winning goal and thus proved once again why he’s turning out to be one of best player’s of this sport.

BCCI board has removed 6 players including Virat Kohli for 2024 World Cup. This news has already been communicated to them. This time there are many different faces in the team. As a result, a bunch of new faces will get a chance in the Indian cricket team. The BCCI board expects that this new Indian team will perform very well.Do you think these new faces in Indian team can perform really well? On the other hand, how reasonable do you think the decision taken by BCCI?
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's performances have not been up to expectations in recent times. I doubt if anyone else in the history of Indian cricket has been given the amount of opportunities especially given to Virat Kohli. The Indian Cricket Board has a lot of good cricketers who have a lot of potential. On the other hand, these two cricketers are quite senior. Virat Kohli's age is now 34 years while Rohit Sharma is 35. Naturally, they now have to give up the place to newcomers. I think the Indian Cricket Board has taken an appropriate decision and that will be effective for the newcomers.
These legendary players already give their best for the Indian team into this shorter format, so now it's time for having changes because things looking not good with these players now new generation players are also having good experience while giving their best for their teams into IPL and few other International matches hopefully this two year time will bring more improvement and India will be able to have better results into ICC events which were not as required in last few years.

Now Indian domestic set up is very strong and having good facilities and better equipment's for these youngsters those are joining these all will be helpful for them in coming months best thing now pool is very large, and they can bring replacements are as well which will also bring healthy competition.

@dezoel if India is already preparing for the next World Cup’s then they needed to drop Rohit and Virat both, because they need to rebuild their team around younger player’s who’re constantly performing hence this decision makes sense. Furthermore while the new squad looks good, but team India will be strengthened when Bumrah and Jadeja returns because BCCI is yet monitoring them to keep them fresh for the Australia series.

I am eagerly waiting to watch these two matches. This bet for Barcelona and Real Madrid to win. I believe they will not make any mistake to get full points in this match. Opponents Valladolid and Espanyol are not strong teams. Madrid and Barcelona will not lose points against such teams. If Barcelona can't win then Barcelona can't stay at the top of the table. Barcelona's points gap with Madrid is only 2.
I don't see Barcelona Winning the title at the end of the season, Madrid are favorite to win. Because by January Barcelona might lose some good players because of their financial issues in the club.
This is how you guys bet and lose game. How can you call Espanyol and valldolid a weak team. As if these team has not won Madrid and Barcelona before. Predictions are not the way you see team. We have witnessed small team winning big clubs in this league this season.  Anything can happen in this games.
That can be reconsidered, bets for Barcelona and Real Madrid are certainly the favorites. But this game is still a game that is difficult to predict, even the dealers will be very happy to play us with such promising ODDS. Then regarding the current condition of the weak club, it can give a surprise, especially after a long holiday it will be difficult to see their progress on the field. Comparing the strength of the teams, maybe Real Madrid and Barcelona are the favorites. But once again I will be very careful when it comes to betting.

I am kinda baffled by Barcelona’s financial crisis, because at one stage media reports say that they have to sell player’s and at the same time they report that Barcelona is interested to buy player’s so which part is true and thus I feel that we should wait and see what kind of transfer’s they do before we can rule them out from the title race.

Furthermore I feel that Real Madrid would be keen to win and impose their position in the league, hence I’m expecting them to score lot’s of goals in this fixture.

Ronaldo has gotten to a stage in his career were he is not able to perform the way he used to when he was at the peak of his career. He has only managed to score just a few goals and few in the world cup too and It is so sad to conclude we are gradually seeing the end of the Ronaldo era. The Saudi league will be a less difficult league for him to flourish but there will be no glory in that and Ronaldo is all about proving himself as the greatest player in the world.

Ronaldo is still a good player,  I could remember last season in Manchester United is performance was good. He was the hope of Manchester United then. In the the season he was not used very well to play most games and I think that affected his performance because he was always on the bench. If Ronaldo is becoming weak it would have showed in his performance last season. Ronaldo is still strong at 37.

Exactly speaking brains, he was the hope of Manchester United to see a qualification for the Champions League and even the European League scoring hat trick on different games in order to enable his side pull through to the level. If they really wanted him he shouldn't have been dropped that way there are external bodies actually pushing for Ronaldo's exit.

Barcelona should keep Depay or find a replacement for him if they are eager to part their ways with him in January already. Because Lewandowski won't have a striker as a replacement for himself if he Depay leaves. I know that there are players like Ferran Torres who can play there but it wouldn't be the same effect certainly.

This is important for them not only in the La Liga but also here. The Europa League title must be among their targets in the end. They need to keep the team strong for that.

These players both De Jong and Depay has been forced out to leave Barcelona before now it is so lovely to see Barcelona holding up to the same players they want out of th club. De Jong has been so much important, Xavi Hernandez said he'll be a good option for center back so he could leave the club indirectly but all of that now cooled. .

I believe that Ronaldo’s exit will help Manchester United when they face Barcelona, because they’ll not be distracted by his antics on and off the pitch. Furthermore De Jong and Deepay will most likely stay at Barcelona at least till the summer transfer window, but beyond that Barcelona will have to convince them to stay otherwise I’m sure that they’ll move on to a club that makes them feel valuable.

If Ronaldo wants to stop his international career, that is completely understandable. He was basically passed over at the World Cup and is no longer part of the squad. Do you still want to continue? The coach apparently only has a role for him as a substitute. Many players would settle for that, but Ronaldo is too big a name to settle for. He wants to be in the base and otherwise not play. Many teams use so-called pinchitters, which can change a game in the last minutes of the game. Understandably, Ronaldo doesn't feel like it. His choice could also have to do with the fact that he is now going to the desert to play football there. Knowing in the back of his mind that he would no longer be in the base of Portugal. He could still be of great value for the qualification for the European and World Cup.

Everyone wants him to continue for a few more years, at least until Euro 2024. But I won't be surprised if he decides to retire immediately. He is already 37 years old and although he is in good form the stress and strain of playing top quality football continuously for two decades can take its toll. And on top of that, the harsh treatment meted out to him during Qatar 2022 will always be in his mind. He has achieved most of the things he targeted. Those remaining can't be achieved even if he plays for the next few years (such as winning the world cup).

@Sithara007 he won’t retire immediately from international football, because he’ll first wait and see who the new coach is and does the new coach make him feel that he’s part of his plan’s going forward. However if the new coach too gives him the cold shoulder then he’ll have no option but to retire immediately and save his dignity, and lastly I hope that he at least gets a farewell match because he definitely deserves one.

Fernandes played a great World Cup - but I agree he seems a bit overrated at this point.

The valuations that have been tossed around are the same as Bellingham's - who has already got 3 full senior seasons behind him as one of the key players in a more competitive league.

I really hope Liverpool goes for him - even for 120 million. He's English and looks like a complete box to box midfielder already - and he's only 19 years old.

@cryptofrka I doubt that Liverpool can buy him, because if they fail to secure champions league football then he won’t come and play for them. Furthermore Real Madrid, Manchester City also want him thus I sincerely believe that Liverpool have absolutely no chance of signing him unless suddenly all other clubs back out from this transfer.

It would be lovely to see a tough competition among Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes for the championship next season. I think the same for their main drivers also. Leclerc, Hamilton and Verstappen would fight for the world title until the end of the season and it would be amazing for us to follow such rivalry. Above all else I believe Leclerc already deserves to be in a serious title competition. Ferrari just can't give a properly working car to him but hopefully they can next season.

As for Hamilton he is surely going to fight for his 8th world title to be the owner of the championship record by himself. If Mercedes prepare a strong car for next season then I expect him to be in the race again.

Formula 1 enters the second season with its technical rules, and I think something epic will happen in the next season.
There are 23 races currently scheduled, and it will be the longest F1 race to date.
The 2023 season will officially start in Bahrain, but when the team unveiled their car, the truly season has begun.


@Distraction Hamilton had a chance to retire on a high note, but he didn’t and then failed to win the title and now I doubt that he can make a comeback and win it. Furthermore I believe that Max will be winning titles from now on and Leclerc at best might end up in the second position, but if Leclerc can win the title then only F1 races will become interesting otherwise the outcome will be too easy to predict.

It looks like Manchester United will really reach its golden age with its current young players. the goal scored is clearly a very high-quality goal for the 3 players who are now in the spotlight. I am quite satisfied with the points Man United got today. 3 points are enough to make them potentially seize Tottenham's position in the standings. It is possible that with the current solid composition of the game, Erik Ten Hag is getting more confident.

The first half was the best stage for Martial and Rashford who contributed to each of the goals that occurred before the half-game whistle was sounded. A good goal in the 22nd minute proved that CR7's departure did not affect the sharpness of the young players' attacks who are at this golden age.
Congratulations to Manchester United for locking in 3 points at Old Trafford last night.
This is very good going into the next game against Wolves at the end of the year.
Yes, Manchester United managed to collect 3 points, which means that the total points currently owned by Manchester United are 29 + 3 = 32 points. And that is enough to shift Tottenham, who only have 30 points from 16 matches. I hope that in the next match MU can continue to play with their best performance. But several times MU's defense was also penetrated by counterattacks from Nottingham. so I think MU also has to improve the defense a little. because the next opponent for MU, namely Wolves, is slightly tougher than Nottingham.

I agree with you’ll that yesterday's game was played very well by Manchester United, and that’s despite missing their regular defenders and putting Shaw as a makeshift CB they yet managed to win which says how well Ten Hag is training this squad. Furthermore Rashford seems to be in fine form, and if Martial can remain injury free then we can expect to see Manchester United finish second or third by the time this season end’s.
