Erik ten Hag relies more on young players who are full of energy and motivated to achieve great results. He used to work like this in Ajax, and it seems that he hopes that the same scheme will work for him at Manchester United. Ronaldo is a professional and he will score goals, it’s more a question of what kind of relationship Ronaldo and the team will have, because if can believe the rumors, then Ronaldo’s agent was actively looking for a new club for him. And this is already a signal for ten Hag that he needs to look for a replacement and the sooner the better.
Ten Haag needs a bit of time to fix the squad. No one should judge him on the basis of one or two matches. His work at Ajax was exceptional and to fix a team like United is a heavy task for him. He is gonna check his options and will eventually come out the best squad to work out with for the time being. By the next window I predict he is gonna make some signings in areas he thinks need some fixing to do.

I am sure Ronaldo will find his playing minutes. Ten Haag is checking out his strategies and he also needs to have patience and believe in manager right now when team is facing some tough times.

apart from these two teams, the rest is not that much.
And in recent years only Real Madrid remains, among other things. And last season he won pretty much everything or almost everything.
I wonder if Barcelona can get back on their feet, at least there would be a little bit of challenge.
These two teams do look convincing. But it doesn't rule out the chances that any other club could be a surprise. For almost six-plus years, the Spanish league was ruled by 3 clubs Atletico, Barcelona and Madrid. I think this season they will be the same too. Those three clubs will dominate the league as well for 1st,2nd and 3rd place. But of these three clubs, the most active in the transfer market is Barcelona. I think a lot of people are going to make them strong candidates for the championship this season.

Lot of people undermined Madrid with their squad in CL and LaLiga last season too but they came out as a winner but they showed great spirit and became champions of both. Madrid are strong candidates in my opinion. Barca are also a strong candidates but I have my slight doubts still.

Arsenal have had Arteta as their manager for three years. I also don't think that he is the best manager for this team but they still somehow manage to do a nice job recently. They are just bad at making the finale good in a season. They missed the Champions League by a small gap last season for example. However the scenario might be different this season. They have strengthened the lineup quite much and they seem more ambitious now. Hopefully Arteta can make this team qualify for the Champions League this time.

Regarding Arteta, I think he is doing a great job. Last season aI think we had our objective to make a good finish but we did pretty good except for not making into CL and dropping some golden opportunities at last but I think out of all the most important thing is to build the squad and over the years Arteta has done that. I think he is the right manager we have now who is helping build a squad strong and competitive for quite some years in future.

When Erik ten Hag can prefer a defense duo like Varane - Martinez I really don't know why he is just insisting on using Maguire in the lineup. He is even the captain of this team indeed and that's even more difficult to understand. This team don't deserve to have a run like this. Hopefully the manager realizes the main problem of the team and fix it in no time. Otherwise there is another horrible season waiting for them. They have great players in the squad. They just need to take advantage of this nicely.

Honestly if they want to hand out Maguire chances then might as well give Phil Jones some chances there as well. I thought with Martinez signing, he would put him alongside Varane but wasn't happy with him lining up Maguire alongside.

Brighton has defeated them twice now back to back in head to head meetings. Last time time they visited Amex stadium they were humiliated with 4-0 scoreline now is also the same as they defeated them again with 2-1 scoreline in PL opener.

Next round they have Brentford and they are the scariest underdog of all. They can change things at any point of time. United needs to be sharp which they are not right now.
1245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 10, 2022, 01:23:46 PM

Can this formation be considered effective and Erik ten Hag will try it?
Let's wait for Saturday at home to Brentford vs Manchester United.

Looks good actually. Martinez playing as a holding midfielder is a new position for the player but I can see why Ferdinand has put him there. Martinez has good vision and can find players from his lob pass. Eriksen and Fernandes position also seems good. The thing is there no player as attacking midfielder to link while in attack so in that case either  Fernandes or Eriksen will have to switch to attack roles at times and move back while defend so they have to cover lot of ground. The main problem is Maguire in there. I am still not convinced with the way United are defending right now and to have Maguire in there brings a lot of problem there. If Maguire is switched to some other player then I can see it working out.

But we all know Ferdinand and ten Haag are different and it's upto ten Haag if he feels up for it.

We can not say for sure Eintracht Frankfurt is not that strong, but we can be sure to be surprised by them sometimes, but not this time, I can see the addition of Sadio Mane have change the way Bayern Munich's gameplay and it was really the right decision to make, but I am still waiting for Bayern Munich to have a match with either Dortmund, Leipzig or Leverkusen just to be sure but I will be making my bets this time,

Yeah Frankfurt are a good team but Bayern are also German giants. It takes a whole lot to beat such team with so many good quality players. With Sadio Mane in their attack their attack has improved a lot. The way they are scoring right now, it will be hard to stop them this time again. Right now I don't think of any team that is close to giving Bayern a tough time in Bundesliga.
1247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 07, 2022, 02:58:11 PM
United could have done better but I can see them having the ball possession but not making much use of it. They need to make their attack strong again if they want to do better PL finish than last time. I am sure lot of questions will be asked from ten Haag about Ronaldo not starting but he is doing great job out there. I feel its just that he needs a bit of time to fix the squad.
1248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 07, 2022, 12:58:52 PM
Even they got rejected, they're still want to sign Wesley Fofana, I hope he isn't a Maguire version 2.0 lol.

Don't jinx his career by comparing him with Maguire. Maguire is next level  Cheesy Cheesy . Fofana is a great player and yeah there is no way Leicester are gonna let him leave as they have already lost some crucial players but these players are very important for them. Rodgers has already come out public and said that they have no intention of letting Maddison and Fofana leave.

Well its no the actual topic but I want to say that Maguire needs to work out a lot and up his game as he is representing a very famous club of PL with a very strong history. As a captain he should be a role model and show a strong work rate on the pitch.

After spending a long time with Napoli now Mertens will try his adventure with Galatasaray, Mertens leaving to Galatasaray is one of his love for Napoli even though Napoli has refused to extend his contract but Mertens took the attitude not to play in Serie A and chose Galatasaray as his goal, actually In addition to Galatasaray, Mertens is also in demand by several Serie A clubs such as Juventus, Lazio, and Inter and even some media say that Juventus is ready to pay him more than the salary he has received so far in napoli, but because Mertens doesn't want to betray Napoli, that's why he chose Galatasaray, even though Mertens is now 35 years old, I think he can still compete with other young strikers in Turkey.

I read some reports that Mertens was open to take a deep cut in his salary but Napoli didn't renew it and so he has no option but to leave as free agent. Mertens is also a good player and has helped Napoli a lot. I am just glad he found a good team to play from. I am not sure about other teams and yeah I also agree that playing for another Serie A club won't be in his mind given his history with Napoli so yeah Galatasaray seemed likely.

Bayern Munich beat Eintracht Frankfurt by a different score. They are a team above the German League. Sometimes I think that special leagues should be created for teams like Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain. If a special league is formed, they can compete with teams in their own equivalence.

We already have CL don't we? to test out the best clubs of all the leagues and see who is the best out of them all. Bayern are definitely a strong squad and showed great control in their game against Frankfurt. Sadio Mane is a beast and Nagelsmann has given full licence to press the opponents and he is doing a great job ever since he came into the team. I have my doubts about Bayern struggling without Lewandowski but guess I was wrong.
1251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 06, 2022, 07:29:32 PM
I see the opposite of you that in my opinion, Chelsea is a strong competitor in the PL this season. The current Blues squad does not have a single sticker that endangers the opponent's goal like Didier Drogba in the past.

Kai Havertz who became Thomas Tuchel mainstay on the front lines, basically he is not a pure Striker but a Winger. However, in reality he can be a good alternative amidst the lack of performance of existing strikers like Timo Werner.
Unlike Tottenham Hotspur, which has Harry Kane as a target man.

Thomas Tuchel other option lies with young Albanian striker Armando Broja if they don't sign a pure Sticker before this summer's transfer window closes until September 1.

Tuchel uses Kai Havertz as false 9 and it has worked for them but it doesn't brings much goals unless wingers are tough goalscorers. I haven't seen much goals from Mount and Sterling lately but yeah they can score some. If they want to score goals then they need to bring out Werner or Broja who are good strikers or maybe Michy but still they are lacking a strong striker. The reason why I said is because right now they don't have goalscorers as I see but maybe things changes on later but it will be tough to keep on winning games without a good striker.

Mertens is ready to play as free again in Turkey.

I always wondered what will happen to Mertens after his contract end at Napoli but glad to see him find a new team and Galatasaray are one of the top teams in Turkish League so a good move for Mertens. I hope he contributes a lot there. Torreira is also a good player. Galatasaray are definitely getting some top signings for them. Will be interesting to see how they perform in their league now.
1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 06, 2022, 05:28:53 PM
Tottenham did quite well in their early game but I am surprised that Kane is not able to get his name on the scoreboard. even so I was very impressed with the performance of tottenham who were able to score many goals in this match. this victory makes tottenham at the top of the standings for a while.
on the other hand chelsea are still struggling to get their first win in their first match against Everton.

Kane has lost that scoring form a long ago. But he is still crucial as he lays off with great assists and has that great precision and vision to find his players while in at attacks and counters which also brings a lot of contribution from him. Conte knows what he is capable of and importance in the team.

About Chelsea, they don't have goalscorer right now and can see why they are struggling. Unless they sign a striker, I don't see them as strong contender for PL this season.

Fulham leading 1-0 against Liverpool in 55 mins, and that's not even the surprising part. The Surprising part is that Liverpool haven't had a shot on target in 55 mins. How do you score when you cant shoot on target? Liverpool should look for a plan B or they might actually lose this game. I'll start watching now. Cheesy

Liverpool found the equaliser but Van Dijk foul inside the box gave Fulham the penalty and golden opportunity for Fulham to be back in the lead and so they did. Now Fulham plan must be to hold down the lead and we will have the first surprise of the PL. I don't want Liverpool to lose as have my money on the line on him but Fulham played it solid and Liverpool not much Liverpool-like show.
1255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 05, 2022, 06:23:39 PM
I don't think they lost a position in top 4 to Tottenham because their attacking system is bad. In late phase of last season, their young players could not control themselves and could not play well under pressure of themselves and from Tottenham. It is the first season Arsenal was very close to top 4 in last 5 seasons or more. Pressure is big and they failed to protect the fourth position in last 2 match days. They lost it to Tottenham in last 2 match days and it's too late to do anything.

Yeah that was a dropped opportunity and honestly don't wanted to get those memories back again (damn you had). I think we lost that grip in the last 3 matches (I think 3 matches previous to last one). We had striker problem with Laca not being that productive as we needed him to be. This season we have Jesus who is the perfect "fox in the box" and I have huge hopes from him. But PL is a long run and we can't talk about injuries and so so any injuries to our main player can bring us back into same position like last season.

Not gonna demand much but as long as Arteta brings back us to a solid squad like Liverpool or City, I am happy because I know at some point we are gonna have hell of a season with consistent performance like City and Liverpool does or maybe win PL at some point.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 05, 2022, 05:16:58 PM
Gabriel Jesus is indeed an important Arsenal spearhead, will he become Arsenal's first goalscorer?
In fact I also have no doubts in Arsenal attack they have a good squad from the back line until this striker is also a threat to Crystal Palace but it does not rule out Crystal Palace will be weak they will try to defend but somehow we have to see in this first game, it should have been an Arsenal win but could there be a surprise behind us underestimating Crystal Palace?

Last season Gunners had a missing piece to their attack but this season seems like we got everything we need. Maybe a slight of investment in defence could have been good but anyway I think it's still enough and I can see we have better chance making into top 4 (atleast I hope so). CP are also a tough team but with Gallagher back to Chelsea I think they have lost something lethal in the mid so that pulls them down in attack. Should be an easy for Arsenal is what I predict here but well let's see, I won't rule out CP surprise but it's hard going on against team like Arsenal right now.
1257  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 05, 2022, 04:29:22 PM
Arsenal are playing against Crystal Palace today and they are the clear favourite side in this matchup without doubt. There is always room for a surprise but honestly my expectation from Arsenal is to destroy Crystal Palace in this game. They have improved their squad really nicely and finished their striker problem as well. This is showtime for them to show what they are capable of. A great start to the season would be very useful for them. I'm expecting them to win this game with a goal difference of two at least.
Arsenal have spent a lot of money on players I would like to know what Arteta's current strategy is in tonight's game with Crystal Palace, I think it will be a lot of favorites in a bet but I will enjoy this very important league game.

It's the EPL sometimes Crystal Palace always makes it difficult for top teams to be wary of Arteta's players but either way they have a great squad that we expect to win tonight.

With Jesus addition I think we are gonna have a great attempts in shots and I think it's easy game for us given the squad we have. It's a season opener for us and we know how important those are. It think Arsenal's attack will be too much to handle for Crystal Palace. I am bit worried about their attack but we have a solid defence too so they probably are gonna score but I think we are gonna score more compared to them and get the points in our first game.
1258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 05, 2022, 02:57:07 PM
Given the performances of all the last years by Liverpool and Manchester City, I simply don't see any other team in the position to win the title. Even Chelsea has trouble to keep up their level of play over a whole season. 93 and 92 points, respectively, are just too much even for Chelsea. Actually it is quite crazy to achieve that in the Premier League. I know in La Liga that also happens at times, but the league is weaker and still you have had two giants in the past in the form of Real and Barca. I am extremely curious about Haaland's performance. Haaland is still a crazy improvement. For Liverpool it is just Nunez who might be able to make a difference, but then Liverpool also lost Mane. Bottom line in my opinion is that Man City even managed to improve. Not so sure about Liverpool.

In PL we have 6 giants and lot of underdogs so the level of competition is really tough here. You just can't predict anything for sure and well that's the case with every league but in here it's very hard to predict compared to any other leagues. That's what makes PL stand out that rest of others and that's why people love it the most.

I don't know about others but I like unique and PL is unique and exciting.

Renato Sanches is officially a PSG player.

He was very near to join Milan 3 weeks ago.

PSG has lot of players around and I honestly think that getting a chance in there is very hard. Sanches is a good player but I don't think it's the right destination for him but well that changes if PSG gives him good amount of chances. Milan could have been a good destination and honestly he had better chances of becoming a reliable player than in PSG.

Arsenal started very well at the end of last season and even almost made it to the Champions League, but could only stay in the Europa League... In April they lost away to Crystal Palace by a big score... I think the first game of the new Premier League season will be revenge for Arsenal... I think you can bet on them to win as long as the bookies give good odds...

I expect Arsenal to strike on them heavily. We have Jesus and Crystal Palace defence isn't what it was used to be. I think we gonna have lot of opportunities. Crystal Palace has lost Gallagher and I think that is a major blow for them this season. With that man in the middle I think it all falls apart in terms of attack so I don't think we are gonna see that much sharpness in Crystal Palace's attack.
