If Ronaldo is coming back to the premier League and is being rumoured to join Newcastle United, that I think is a welcome development.
But the reason why I had to bring up issues Ronaldo had with ten hag is because, even after this two years, Ronaldo is still performing brilliantly, if  ten hag had managed the situation well as a coach, I believe the youngsters Manchester United have now would have been blinded with Ronaldo's experience to improve the teams performance. United is not doing well at the moment, their high level of inconsistency is too much to even place a bet in favour of them to win a match

I think Olivier Giroud should go to Saudi Arabia because he is now 37 years old and will no longer be able to continue his career in big clubs with the performance that is required in top clubs. And as you said that Olivier Giroud's contract is also about to expire, keeping it in mind, it would be better for Olivier Giroud to choose Saudi Arabia as his next destination, and I don't think that AC Malian would like to give Olivier Giroud more contract extensions. Because he is 37 years old and his performance is not what it used to be.

So, AC Malian will now prioritize young talent so that they stay with clubs for a long time. Olivier Giroud has big advantages in moving to Saudi Arabia, firstly, he will earn a lot of money; secondly, he will not feel any pressure in Saudi Arabia and will be easily accessible; and no one will demand the same performance from him as in Europe. Clubs make an agreement with you, meaning if they sign a player, they also demand the performance that has been transferred to him.

The aspect of Manchester City deserving another title is it in the Champions League, Premier League, or just both? I don't think that will be possible for Manchester City to accomplish this season, because of their current performance. A single player like Haaland can win the two mentioned leagues trophies alone, he needs the coordination of other players to make it come to fulfillment. Ever since Manchester City sold some of their key players and Kelvin Bruyne had injuries, their performance seems not to be as formidable as before. That would cause them to lose their good performance and the zeal to retain the Premier League and Champions League title again this season.

I also read from several other newspapers that the Brazilian winger was injured in the match against Colombia. Based on Romano's report, Real Madrid estimates that Vini Jr will be absent for at least two months, possibly two months and a half based on the recovery process. other reports, another major blow for Madrid after Camavingga's injury which is expected to occur again in January. Apart from that, there are several other players who are injured, such as Tchouameni, and several players who have previously been injured. What is certain is that this condition is unpleasant news for Real Madrid fans.
If Madrid plays against a mediocre team, it doesn't seem like there will be too much problem for them. but of course this situation will really make Don Carlo a little annoyed with the absence of his core players. Sometimes, matches in their respective national teams make coaches and clubs worry if their players are injured. Well, this condition will certainly have an impact on their strength and performance. even though in reality, Ancelotti has a replacement player instead.

For the Champions League, at least Real Madrid has safe points in the group phase with 12 points. and it doesn't seem like it will have a big impact, because after all Madrid has a high probability of qualifying for the next phase. but in La Liga, the impact will be quite pronounced.
Well, let's just follow every development.

Real Sociedad sacrificed some games in the La Liga I'm afraid while they were trying to get maximum number of points in 4 games in the Champions League. Was it worth it? I think it was definitely. 

From now on they can concentrate on upcoming La Liga games easier to get better results. But they wouldn't just shift all of their focus there of course. They would try to qualify as the leader in the Champions League as well. But I don't feel like they will make it considering the last game is away against Inter. 

Yes, that's for sure, however they will maximize their performance and play to be able to get full points in the match, plus on the other hand their point difference with Dortmund is very thin, and if they don't manage to get a win or even just get a draw, it is likely that Dortmund will be able to shift them in fourth place in the standings. So no matter how Leipzig must still be able to get the full three points in that match, there is no other reason to waste the opportunity.

I think Leipzig's performance this season is still quite good, they can stagnate to maintain consistency in the top five area of the standings, like last season when they managed to finish in the top three of the standings, and that means however they have to be able to perform better this season, they are already in the top five of the standings and only need to further improve their performance and also maintain consistency in order to overtake the position of VfB and Bayern Munich. I don't think they will have too much trouble in the match against Wolfsburg, because obviously the difference in performance between the two teams is quite far, Wolfsburg is still in the unsafe zone because of their poor performance. So maybe I will only bet on Leipzig which is more convincing.

Of course, because it is basically very unlikely if they can balance the game and also maximize their performancee by relying on only 9 players, as you said it was really a  big disaster for Tottenham and there was no luck at all for them there. And also of course it was a very surprising match especially for their fans, everyone would not have  thought that the team that could initially perform very well by being able to dominate the top of the standings in a time that I think can be said to be quite long with the tight competition in the top five but instead experienced such bad things, this is really unexpected.

Basically every team will definitely experience changes, whether it's getting better or getting worse, this season we have seen how Tottenham appeared surprising with an unusual performance, but yes it only lasted a short time, and I think it's time for Tottenham to return to the initial phase as usual, because obviously in the next match against Wolves it turns out they still can't prove by winning the full three points. I think consistency is the beginning of their decline, they can't maintain their good form,  and honestly for the next time I can't be sure whether Tottenham will be able to stay in the top five until the end of the season or drop again to 7/8.

The coach has quite a big role for a club and I see that Luis Castro's ability to give tasks to Ronaldo is very intelligent. Last season, Ronaldo's contribution in scoring goals was quite limited, but this season we can see how productive Ronaldo is in scoring goals. This happened inseparable from how Luis Castro gave Ronaldo freedom to play. Al-Nassr has experienced quite rapid progress this season and the arrival of several players in the last transfer window makes their squad look very complete in the front line positions.

Currently Al-Nassr is in second place in the standings, four points behind Al-Hilal, so this match is considered important enough for Ronaldo to win it. Al-Hilal has the advantage of playing at home and maybe Jurge Jesus will try to take advantage of the home match to distance himself from Al-Nassr's points. It will be quite difficult to see who will emerge victorious in this match, but I am more confident that Al-Nassr will lead the match on a winning path.

While we know both teams are in a good situation but I think the chance for Juventus to beat Inter Milan is higher and the rates are not bad at all for betting on Juventus for this match because we know Juventus won all the last five games they recently had and Inter Milan had a draw, also since Juventus got 29 points and Inter Milan got 31 so far, Juventus can have a high chance to decrease the gap between themselves and Inter Milan in this game.

PSG has obviously gotten their key players intact and ready for this match, although their line up isn't out, but it's most likely they are going to have their key players featured, mbappe is a key player for PSG and it's almost certain they he will play except for injury or red card which he currently has none.

Monaco is a team who can't be considered poor with their performance and are definitely not going to make it easy for PSG if they must win, Monaco started off the season so well and ever since have performed any less they have been really brilliant just like PSG has done so far as well this season, so I expect an interesting match between both teams an for now can't really say wou will be taking home three points or maybe they would both share the points equally.

Tottenham Vs Aston Villa is an interesting match that I would want to view after the international week. I have seen how Emery has improved the Aston Villa team since after his arrival to the club. He has proven that he deserves to be named among the big teams. And one thing I know about him is whenever he is in form and on a winning streak, he tries his best to maintain his winning tendency.

To the other coach, Ange, he has improved the Totenham team since this season and he didn't lose any match except the consecutive 2  losses and which might eventually lead to another loss to Aston Villa

Pep Guardiola may have made the decision to leave Manchester City for reasons that perhaps cannot be explained to the public, so Pep Guardiola prefers to look for other reasons so as not to make Manchester City's condition worse. It is possible that Pep Guardiola will return to Chelsea and improve the condition of this team to get into the top ten again from the top of the standings.

After winning the Italian Serie A title last season the expectations of the Napoli fans from anyone who'll take over the club's managerial position after Luciano Spalletti left became very enormous and unfortunately for Rudi Garcia, he wasn't able to match the expectations from the club's management and the fans of the reigning Italian champions.
That being said, I never expected the club management to hire Walter Mazzarri who helped the club to the club to finish as the league runner's up 10 years ago. Hopefully he's gonna improve the performance of the team

Even if Manchester United tries to get Ten Hag fired the team will need some time to get recover and get in the good form. In fact, in the last season when Manchester United was in the bad form and they couldn't find a good coach for this team, Ten Hag saved them from the bad situation they had nad Ten Hag even got a Champions League ticket for Manchester United. That's why I think they should even give him more time.

Whether it will be that fast that Tottenham will get out of the top four and if it really will happen, then it also proves how difficult and competitive the competition in the Premier League is . Because we know, that Tottenham was also previously very strong at the top of the Premier League table, but only two consecutive defeats are enough for Tottenham to prepare to leave the top four . Also in fact, Aston Villa previously lost when playing away against Nottingham with a score of 2-0 and thus, then I think Tottengam can still get points in the home match against Aston Villa. At least, a draw result is still good for them, but I also think there will be a win or loss in this match.

Manchester United do not need Zidane right now, they have a perfect coach in the club right now they've just been affected negatively with injuries and bad luck this season. Anyways, some improvements have been seen within the internal affairs of the club. Harsh treatments? Manchester United fans are just too eager to see some level of positivity with the club..

The management have no personal issues with Erik Ten Hag, he has also been the manager to have achieved the highest points in the last five games in the Premier League Competition.
His good records last season, Champions League qualification and trophy won backs him up now all because je had a good first season with Manchester United. Getting tje Dutch manager right now would be considered unwise.

That is a very normal thing because in every season there are always surprises from weak teams to stronger teams as happened to Napoli at home. Even though most people saw this as a surprise because Empoli was able to win narrowly at home to Napoli, I have to consider this as a very normal thing if you look at Napoli's condition this season which is very different from last season. So it is quite a simple matter for Napoli so that they have a reason to make another comeback this season.

There is no right scenario for Sparta Prague to qualify for the next round because after all, Betis and Rangers have certainly better quality than Sparta Prague and Aris. Also, even though at this moment Sparta Prague has 4 points and Aris 3 points,  but I am sure that Sparta Prague has a better chance to stay and finish in third place. Therefore, then I don't think there's any change in position for Sparta Prague and Aris, and I'm sure they'll stay that way until the end. But yes, about Betis and Rangers, at least their positions can still change, because they will certainly maximize in the remaining matches to win and to finish as group winners.

By looking at the value of Julian Alvarez now it will be very difficult to happen because however seeing the current condition of Barcelona who are still experiencing problems in their finances bringing Alvarez is very difficult when they still limit money for player transfers in order to stabilise their cash. But indeed for the end of this season they still have to try to find new players because after all with the current situation where Ansu is on loan at Brighton and Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo who will go back to their respective clubs because of the expired loan contracts this will bring Barcelona to a crisis in attackers.
Although there are some players who can be used as options such as Ferran or Gavi still this will still be very lacking in my opinion and most likely they will still force Lewandowski who at the beginning of the season did not go well but is slowly regaining momentum in scoring goals.

I think these are premature conclusions for now. I think if they do well against Liverpool, they'll be well established in first position overall and won't let anyone else go there for a long time. But in general I agree with you, the 4, I would even say the first 5 teams look very strong at the moment, they even go with a very small gap
