Pape is turning 18 next summer and is set to be part of Chelsea's project. But why does Chelsea always focus on young talent instead of buying experienced players? It would be better for Chelsea to invest in a matured striker who suits their style of play. They need players with experience to strengthen the team immediately, rather than focusing on players for the next 4-5 years.

First of all, I think a team that is made out of only young players are always going to do better instead of a team made out of only experienced/old players. But the thing is, a team which has a good combination of young and old players are always going to do better when compared to only young or only old players. Chelsea should look to find a good balanced team like that. I do not know what the plan is from them. Because at the moment it does not seem like anything is working. I do hope that they will be able to make things work. But I am still very skeptical, to be honest.

Ideally, a team must have a balance of young players who are their regeneration, as well as players who have experience and are established and can be relied on. this combination, would be ideal. like Manchester City. they have talented young players, as well as more established players.

Well, now we are talking from Chelsea's needs. in my view, Chelsea clearly has to bring in an established striker for their current squad. very clearly, they cannot rely on the existing players and even the pure strikers they have at the moment. that's also why, Chelsea struggle to improve their ranking and tend to be in the middle of the table. actually there are many choices, it's just whether the player they are targeting is willing or not. like Osimhen, he is established enough to be brought to Stamford Bridge. this player from Nigeria is still young, but can be relied on when it comes to scoring goals. it's clear this is what Chelsea needs, and the problem is whether the Napoli star is willing or not. there are also several other names that Arsenal are also targeting, although I haven't really followed their developments in the last week. but what is certain is that if Chelsea or Poche do not make changes, it is certain that Chelsea will have difficulty finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League.

Yes, in the January transfer window, PSG must be able to make the most of this moment in order to get the players they are targeting who are compatible with PSG and are able to strengthen PSG in their position. They don't have money problems, so this should be easier. Because after all, the possibility of Mbappe staying at PSG is very small and he has even said that he will soon leave PSG. So, of course this will disrupt PSG's strength. while PSG must become stronger. Not only for the French League but especially for matches in the UCL which are actually very competitive with various local teams.

That's what PSG management, or Luis Enrique, should have done. the point is, Enrique still needs some newcomers. in particular, as he wanted an established attacking midfielder. also, considering that the PSG squad is not very strong at the moment in the Champions League. in the end, as we often see, Enrique had to repeatedly rotate and change his system. in other words, currently Enrique is using a system that is not the one he usually uses or the one he often used when he was a coach at his previous club.
well, we don't need to talk about financial problems for PSG. because we know very well, they are able to bring in any player they want to target. the only problem is, every player that PSG is targeting, of course the player must also be interested or agree to join this giant team from the French league. if I'm not mistaken, PSG is limited in bringing in players. that's why, currently Goncalo Ramos is on loan. as I said above, this condition is a problem for PSG. so, if Enrique wants to bring in some newcomers, what else does he want. which means, PSG will have to release several of their players in the January transfer window. we'll see, because I don't really know for sure and I'm not really sure about what I'm saying.
As for Mbappe, as we have heard from rumors, this star player will end his contract this season. ideally, Enrique will look for a replacement or target a replacement after Mbappe actually leaves. yeah, at least they need to evaluate which players to keep and which players to let go.

Real Madrid will be the luckiest team if Girona shares points with Atletico, because there will be a difference in points even though it is very thin. Girona performance in the previous week was not bad at all, and it is not easy to always be able to secure full points even though the team Girona is facing is Real Betis. Girona success in overthrowing defending champion Barcelona surprised everyone, many people were curious about how Girona closed the first half of the season against Atletico.

Statistically Girona has a better record, but we cannot ignore the fact that Atletico is one of the elite teams in La Liga. Based on this background, the meeting between these two teams will be very interesting in the future. Risking their position in creating a point difference in the standings, especially in the top four, which affects their chances of hunting for the championship trophy at the end of the season.

So far Girona has become one of the teams that has attracted attention in La Liga, in fact Michel has been able to bring his team's squad to compete at the top 4 level in the La Liga standings. even Girona previously topped the standings, although now Girona is below Real Madrid but still has the same points. if the match between Girona and Altetico ends with Girona winning, Madrid still has the potential to maintain the points gap by having a meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu later to overthrow Girona. moreover, if Girona can be overthrown by Diego Simeone's squad. obviously, a situation like this would be very beneficial for Madrid to increase the points gap and ensure its position is quite safe at the top.

Talking about the Girona vs Atletico Madrid match, this match is going to be quite an exciting match. the reason is, Girona is also quite productive in terms of scoring goals. in fact, Girona has scored 42 goals in 18 matches. which means, there could be a lot of goals in the Girona vs Atletico Madrid match. as for Atletico, as you said, we cannot ignore the fact that ATM is one of the elite teams in this competition. also, considering that ATM is in 3rd place, of course they will aim for victory to reduce the points gap from Girona's ranking. however, Girona will have the advantage of playing at home when they host Atletico, Michel's squad cannot be underestimated this season. that's why Barcelona collapsed when they hosted Girona in Week 16. it is not impossible that Girona will do the same thing when they meet Altetico in Week 19. well, let's just wait when the two teams meet in the next match.

I wouldn't say there's any luck in the Champions League, especially if we're talking about the final match. Although I thought Real Madrid and Manchester City would play in the final. And I didn't think that Inter would play in the final. Maybe this year someone can surprise me too.
Well as far as am concerned luck is always a factor when it comes to football but in most cases it usually doesn't come while sometimes the unexpected happens in the so called final games between the two last teams and sometimes the team we expect to be in the finals are not always the teams that makes it to the final and in such cases we might called it that the actual team was actually lucky.

If we relate everything, of course it will very much be related to luck. so we can't let go of luck, just like in football. however, in football there are coaches, players, tactics, strategies and systems that are applied. each team will try to do their best when playing their match. the rest, let the course of a match determine. if we refer to Inter Milan last season, they were very lucky not to meet strong opponents in the next rounds after qualifying from the group phase. the case is different with City, they have quality player resources and coincidentally City was on fire last season. it is fitting that City won the trophy with their consistency and performance at that time, and it was not just luck, but they deserved it. as for Madrid, they were defeated by City.

However, in football it is unique. things like this that we can attribute to luck, just like Inter in the group phase last season. Barcelona should be able to escape. unfortunately, with many players injured. plus, Xavi hasn't found the right pattern format yet. so, they had difficulties and even had difficulties against Inter Milan. by the way, this season, several teams are still being looked at as strong contenders to win the Champions League trophy. like Madrid, one of them, City, the representative from England, Munich with Kane. and perhaps, there could be surprises presented by this competition from round to round until the final match. Well, let's just enjoy every match that is presented, especially for this round of 16 match.
1265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: December 28, 2023, 08:04:04 PM
Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning

In fact, we can't know for sure whether someone really said something like what you asked in this thread, or? and yeah, we can't confirm the validity of these claims. I want to ask instead, do you think this question is important to you. are there any benefits you can gain? or do you just want to know the response from the community? for me personally, everyone is free to have an opinion according to what they put forward and even claim it, as you asked in the title theme of this thread. all of these are basically a person's rights, the most important thing is that they are not detrimental or misleading. so you see, the idea of ​​having fun doesn't mean we don't expect rewards for the gambling we do. we are even well aware that in this type of entertainment, it takes a certain amount of money to have fun in it. well, we can imply what it means to have fun. the answer depends relatively on each individual or each gambler. let's say we lose in a gambling session, we have made efforts to win. however, the results were not as expected. for me, this is clearly no longer fun. so, ideally I should stop it.

For me, the idea of ​​having fun is the right thing to apply to gambling. why, yes so that we don't target big wins after big wins. in fact, quite a few gamblers are trying to make quick money from gambling. things like this will release us to the level of awareness that our priority is pleasure. but that doesn't mean we don't want to win. losing is something that is certain, especially in gambling, so just enjoy it knowing that you are losing. otherwise, the emotion of anger will push us to do something beyond our limits. for example, making a deposit again even though the money is for other purposes. there are also some people who do it purely for fun, if they lose they will be fine. despite the fact, they suffer losses. if they were capable, it would have no effect.  However, this type of gambler is very rare and usually they are not active gamblers like us. as for those like this, they usually only gamble occasionally to refresh their minds after busy activities in business, work, or so on. so, the point is what do you think?
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 28, 2023, 07:11:31 PM
Actually, Arsenal has the advantage because they have only played 18 times, while Liverpool have played 19 times.
If Arsenal can win against West Ham even with a narrow score, they will move up to 1st place with the same number of matches 19 times in all.
On the other hand, Liverpool must prepare to win the next matches and hope that Arsenal will achieve bad results to reduce the point difference.

However, looking at the statistics of the two teams between Arsenal and West Ham, I believe Arsenal is the favorite.
They are at their best. The players' mentality is also very good overall. Moreover, they will compete at home, which is certainly good capital to beat West Ham optimistically.

After getting a draw against Liverpool at Anfield, in the previous match. in this match, Arsenal must get full points to shift the ranking occupied by the top of the Premier League standings. Arsenal will host a match against West Ham in the next few hours. to ensure full points, Arteta will likely reduce the core of his starting eleven to achieve their target. moreover, the match was held at the Emirates Stadium. playing in front of their own supporters will increase the motivation of the Gunners players. plus, Arsenal always achieve positive results playing at their own headquarters. in 9 matches at the Emirates, the Gunners achieved 7 wins and 2 draws. so it would be very natural if the home team is given more priority by the bookies in the match meeting which will be held in a few moments.

As for the opposing team, West Ham cannot be underestimated. in the last 5 matches in this competition, their achievements are no different from Arsenal. David Moyes' men won 3 of their matches, lost 1 and drew 1. however, if we refer to the odds provided by the bookies. there is a quite obvious gap, Arsenal with odds @1.30 and for West Ham with @9.80. from this factor alone, we can judge that it seems that Arsenal has a high probability of overthrowing their opponent. actually, Arsenal is one of my favorite teams. I am optimistic that Odegaard and his colleagues will be able to achieve positive results. thus, Arsenal will temporarily shift Liverpool's position. well, will this match produce lots of goals? if yes then the Over option can be taken into account in betting on this match, at least the result of this match must be a score of 3-1. or, bet on the -1.75 handicap option at odds @1.81. however, at least Arsenal must score 2 goals without reply. so, let's see the final result of the battle between these two teams.

A coach will be able to bring out the best potential from a club if the club has players and a style of play that suits the coach. That doesn't mean that if you are very great as a coach at a club, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be even greater if you coach a club with higher quality players. There are many factors such as the coach's approach to the players or how the coach manages the existing squad to be able to play with the expected tactics. I agree that Xabi is a great young coach at the moment but if he were to coach Real Madrid then it would be a different challenge.

We agree with what you say, so there's no point in comparing each coach, in fact I prefer to just speak according to their portion. just like Xabi Alonso, who is currently managing Bayer Leverkusen. the team which was originally in the red zone, was able to advance with a very good trend and finished in 6th place in the previous season. now, Xabi has brought his squad to the top of the Bundesliga standings. of course, what we see at Leverkusen now cannot be separated from his touch in handling the squad under his care. we can give high appreciation, even though at the same time several top team competitors are not at their best. likewise with what you said, it doesn't mean that Xabi can handle Real Madrid successfully even though it is filled with very competitive players. in fact, the challenge will become increasingly difficult. especially, if a club is filled with many established stars. what is certain is that the atmosphere in the dressing room will be very influential.

Well, I'm reminded of Nagelsmann, who found it difficult to handle his team in Bayern Munich's own dressing room. that's why disharmony does not occur. and, this does not apply to Xabi Alonso with Leverkusen. but it seems that because Leverkusen doesn't have many big-name players, this seems to give Xabi Alonso more freedom. and uniquely, when Xabi was linked with a giant Spanish League club, he even said he was not worthy enough to handle a team as big as Real Madrid. for me, the right answer was given by Xabi Alonso, he was measuring his abilities with Leverkusen. that's why, if I'm not mistaken, Alonso prefers to stay at Leverkusen. well, let's just see how the Leverkusen squad and Xabi Alonso play out match after match in various competitions. especially maintaining their ranking at the top of the Bundesliga standings, until this season ends. and that is quite a challenge to make happen.

Happy Christmas to all gamblers. I have been reading some threads and comments that many people have been saying that they find it very difficult to stop gambling (not only gambling addicts), but on one hand, I really think that it is not hard to quit gambling even when you are winning and not winning, but it is you who can't control yourself. Bets can not force one to stake, but a gambler can force themselves to stake a bet, even when he or she does not have money to bet. Some gamblers did not learn how to gamble. They just see themselves doing it, but they can't stop it. Why because they can't control themselves, even when they are not an addicted gambler?
What do we have to say about this?

Well, what do you think is self-control? why can't they control themselves, even they are not addicted gamblers. at this point, it would be difficult to understand based on your analogy. however, I can understand what you mean. also, the point for "even when he or she does not have money to bet" at this point it is clear that someone can be said to be addicted, although we cannot be sure of the level. in fact, we've discussed things like this in many threads. well, why would someone have difficulty controlling themselves. the answer depends on how the person is, even for you, me, us, it's different. everyone is not the same at their respective levels. in fact, we may also have different perspectives on gambling viewpoints. for what, and why do you gamble. each person's answer and reaction will be different, especially those who are truly addicted

One of the causal factors is dopamine and endropine, at this point, we have discussed this in many threads in the community. honestly, I don't know for sure how it happens to every gambler. I mean for the point of self-control, as we you mean. we also cannot measure everyone who likes to gamble, especially if we are not experts in this field of analysis. Well, for me personally the principle is simple, how do we take responsibility for ourselves and the gambling we do. Understanding is important, there are many articulations that people can apply as prevention ideas in the context of self-control. although in reality, in practice it is not as easy as we say.

Galatasaray was matched with Sparta Prague. Galatasaray is the favorite of this game.
As a Galatasaray fam myself, I think we will beat Sparta Prague.
There's still a long time until the first game, I hope we can play better and get a comfortable win.

If we refer to the options provided by bookmakers, it is clear that Galatasaray is superior to Sparta Prague. even though it is still temporary, remember that Galatasaray is able to put up quite a good fight in the Champions League. it would be very natural if Galatasaray were superior in this knockout stage match, rather than their opposing team. even though it is true that Sparta Prague cannot be underestimated, in the first leg Galatasaray had the opportunity to overthrow Sparta at Rams Park, Galatasaray's home ground. also, it is supported by the odds provided by the bookie. actually, I don't dare speculate too far. moreover, I don't really follow Sparta Prague's developments, but they also cannot be underestimated. in football, anything can happen. however, ideally, Galatasaray should be able to qualify for the next round. considering that they previously played at a higher level of competition than the Europa League, Galatasaray has the conditions to qualify for the next phase. unfortunately, this is only a temporary assumption, because the meeting between these two teams still has a time lag. at least, Sparta Prague will prepare themselves for the meeting against Galatasaray later. I haven't checked the other playoff round matches, but the Galatasaray match should provide an exciting spectacle for us to enjoy when the match is held.

Your point about Al Nassr's performance is well-taken. To be honest, I had doubts too, especially since Ronaldo relied so much on that chance. Its not just Ronaldo's moment, though. Even more so in their attack game, the whole team was on fire. It was clear that speed and drive do make a difference because they got the ball back quickly. But I agree with you that Ittihad's red card changed the game. Al Nassr cant rest on their shoulders after their win. Like Ittihad's defense, theirs has holes. They need to stay sharp because they have a tough game coming up against Al-Taawoun. Its not enough to just win this game; we need to keep going and close in on Al-Hilal.

I have missed many matches in various leagues in the last few days, and one of them is the Saudi Pro League. referring to the Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr match, in this match Al Nassr was able to overthrow Al Ittihad. referring to the H2H meetings between these two teams, in the last 9 meetings, only in this match was Al Nassr able to break the dominance of Al Ittihad which was previously undefeated by Al Nassr. it would be fitting for Al Nassr to win this match, considering that they have a more competitive squad. apart from the red card given to Fabinho in this match, Al Ittihad has suffered 2 previous defeats in the Saudi Pro League. even if Al Ittihad doesn't get a red card, there is a big possibility that Al Nassr will be able to defeat the home team. even though it is only based on my personal assumptions, but referring to match statistics, both in terms of ball possession and technical matters, Al Nassr is much better. apart from that, Al Ittihad so far needs some new, more established ammunition in addition to the players already available. now, Al Ittihad is experiencing further decline and is in 6th place in the standings. meanwhile, Al Nassr, now they are only 7 points away from Al Hilal.

Talking about the match against  Al Taawoun, it seems quite exciting, considering that in the first meeting at Al Nassr headquarters, Al Taawoun successfully defeated Al Nassr with a score of 0-2. this match will be played at Al Taawoun's headquarters and considering that currently Al Nassr is much better, Al Nassr should be able to overthrow Al Taawoun in the next meeting. that is, if Luis Castro can continue to bring his team forward consistently, while still maintaining a point distance from Al Hilal. after all, this competition still offers a lot of matches. which means, it could be that Al Hilal experienced several matches with a decline in performance. thus, Al Nassr's chances of approaching Al Hilal are greater. unfortunately, Al Hilal is currently in a positive trend.

You are right in times of champions League experience between Barcelona and Napoli is obvious that Barcelona is more experience because I believe they have won the champions League up to five times while Napoli has not won the champions league up to that so is really obvious that Barcelona has more champions league experience more than Napoli but however it was quite unfortunate for them that with all the experience they have on the champions League they don't have they experience players that can take them to were they are supposed to be, so I agree with you that Barcelona is more experience while Napoli has more quality players than Barcelona.

Seeing this post, I am interested to see the temporary odds for the two teams who will meet in the 16th round of the Champions League. well, after I saw what the bookmaker provided. it seems that currently the two teams are still predicted to have equal strength, even though Barcelona is said to have more experience. in fact, Barcelona currently has problems, whether it's on the front lines with its goal-scoring players. also, in their defense sector. this season there are factors that are hampering Barcelona, ​​in the front line which is having difficulty completing every opportunity they have, as well as their defense line. Barcelona concedes a lot in its domestic league. just imagine, if Barcelona met a team that was more consistent in performance. maybe, Barcelona is easy for the opposing team to beat. likewise, when Xavi Hernandez's squad visited Napoli, it was not an easy match considering their performance and the odds provided by the bookies.

I want to say that experience alone is not enough. in essence, Xavi must improve his squad. well, since this match still has a time lag, I think Xavi has the opportunity to improve the quality and performance of his team to be much better. apart from that, Napoli cannot be underestimated, even though they experienced a decline in performance in their 2 matches in 2 different competitions. to be honest, I don't really follow Serie A, but because the first leg was held at Napoli headquarters. which means, playing in front of their own supporters will give them the motivation to achieve victory. apart from all that, actually the match between these two teams still has a sufficient time gap for both teams. let's see, every development of these two teams when playing matches in their Domestic League.

In this match, maybe Manchester City is still the favorite team even though they are playing at home to Everton, because if you look at the two teams head to head. Everton has never won against Manchester City in the last 13 matches, including playing at home.
And Manchester City must be able to win the match against Everton to close the gap with Liverpool and Arsenal who are at the top of the standings, even though Manchester City is able to beat Everton. However, their points tally is still far behind Liverpool, namely 6 points and Arsenal 7 points if Arsenal are able to beat West Ham in tomorrow's match. And this will be Manchester City's hard work for the next matches.

City, have two games they have not played. Pep Guardiola's squad has only played 17 matches, while Liverpool has played 19 matches. Arsenal, only 18 games.  In this match, City must win the match against Everton. even though it's an away game, City should be able to beat the home team.

If I refer to one of the reference sources that is my reference, in this match the status of De Bruyne, J.Doku, Haaland and Rodry is in doubt. most likely, Pep will rotate his line-up again in this match. however, City is much stronger than Sean Dyche's squad. Everton will play more cautiously, even though City is predicted not to play their main team. and we can guess that Sean Dyche will most likely implement a defensive pattern. they might be aiming for a counterattack, or maybe they're aiming for just one point.  which means, their target is to play a draw.
Meanwhile, Pep will aim for victory at least to shift the ranking occupied by Spurs and try to reduce points from either Liverpool or Arsenal. my estimate in this match is that City will win this match with a score of 0-2. or, it should be more than that. I didn't have time to look at the betting options, basically City must get points to improve their ranking in the top 4 of the Premier League standings.

I'm getting more and more curious about what will happen in Leverkusen's matches, yes their impressive performances make me wait for every match they will play, be it in the domestic league, or in the European arena. It's true, when a club is in such good form it makes them a lot to look forward to, and the most important thing is that this is the season when they have the chance to break the dominance of a club that has been very dificult to stop.
One thing we can't forget is their current coach. Although he is still quite new to the world of coaching and does not have much experience, he has a very interesting strategy. And what's more interesting is that he brought this club from a difficult time at the time, and is now in a very good situation to win the title.

Well, let's just see how Xabi Alonso brings his squad to remain consistent until the end of this season. at least, before they play their matches again. currently, Leverkusen is 4 points ahead of Munich. I am sure, Leverkusen will continue to perform with an impressive performance. however, it seems that not all matches will be easy for them to win. moreover, Bayern still has one match postponed. If Bayern continues to progress consistently, then Bayer Lerkusen's position will be threatened. moreover, Munich will start getting serious after this month ends. so, the next matches will be quite a challenge for Xabi and his squad. also, Leverkusen has a home match against Bayern Munich. this match will be very crucial, both for Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. the point is, Leverkusen's position at the top of the Bundesliga standings is not yet secure with only a difference of 4 points. meanwhile, Bayern has one match postponed, and this will be an advantage for Tuchel to narrow the points difference from Leverkusen. also, the crucial match away to BayArena will be an important point for Tuchel. however, this is where the excitement of the Bundesliga this season lies. Dortmund was shifted to 5th place, Leverkusen and Stuttgart were the 2 different teams. as for the Europa League, at least Leverkusen is one of the strong contenders in the race for the trophy. but, we'll see how Xabi brings his team much better. what is certain is that the challenges will become bigger and more difficult as their matches progress towards the end of the competition. Well, let's see how Xabi Alonso brings his team towards making achievements, whether in the Bundesliga or in the Europa League. so, I just enjoy everything they show. also, how the Bundesliga presents each match, especially the crucial ones.

Barcelona's chances of winning the La Liga title this season are very low. Barcelona is now 7 points behind Real Madrid. Closing the gap will be much more difficult as Real Madrid's performances are more consistent than Barcelona's.

Xavi is probably not targeting the La Liga title this season. He is eager to win the Super Cup title. He also wants to do well in the Champions League. Barcelona's performance in the Champions League is not bad. I guess we will see the Barcelona team in the semi-final or final of the Champions League this season.

It seems that I missed the news and several matches in the last week, especially for the teams in the top 4 of the standings. Barcelona is currently in 4th position in the standings, 7 points behind Real Madrid and Girona. well, I won't dismiss what you say, we can even judge that so far El Real is far more consistent than Barcelona. even though both teams both have injured players, Real Madrid has even had more players who have had to go into the treatment room so far. however, in fact, Ancelotti is still able to bring his squad and is now at the top of the standings. But in any case, we'll see until the end of the La Liga competition. so, that doesn't mean Barcelona doesn't have a chance. It's just that, Xavi must bring his team much more consistently until the end of this season.

Regarding Barcelona's match in the Champions League, I can't expect much at the moment when compared to the La Liga competition. I mean, with lots of games left, Xavi must remain focused on making his team much better. this doesn't mean that Barcelona won't be able to be consistent in the Champions League, but it seems that it will be quite difficult for Xavi to take his squad to the semi-finals of the Champions League. yeah, considering their performance so far. also, there are several obstacles that Xavi must overcome. Well, let's see how far Barcelona can finish in this competition. this also applies to various other competitions, after all we have only seen half of the La Liga competition.

Al Nassr's defeat to Al Hilal earlier this month changed the equations upside down. Till then the gap between these two teams were not that much. But now Al Hilal has 47 points and Al Nassr is 10 points behind. A convincing win against Al Riyadh after this match did little to close the gap any further. As of now there is simply no competition for Al Hilal. We are almost half-way through and it is almost certain that they will be the champions for this year. The inclusion of Aleksandar Mitrović has worked wonders for them.

Al Hilal just defeated Ahba with a landslide score of 7-0. Jorge Jesus' squad is like a team that is on fire, which is able to progress with a positive trend in its 18 matches without defeat. even though the two matches ended in draws, it seems that Al Hilal is in the best condition as a whole team. in the match against Ahba, Al Hilal really didn't give the opposing team any chances, not even for a consolation goal. with this victory, Al Hilal has scored 50 points from its 18 matches. as for Mitrovic, now he has equaled the goal scored by Ronaldo. well, I don't know how many games left in the first half of the season for the Saudi Pro League competition. what is certain is that currently, Al Hilal is quite difficult to compete with in the hunt for trophies by teams ranked below them. in particular, teams below Al Nassr's ranking.

Talking about Al Nassr, Luiz Castro's squad has a difference in the match they played with Al Hilal. so far, Al Nassr has only played 16 matches. meanwhile, Al Hilal has played 18 matches. so, currently the two teams are separated by 13 points. which means, Al Nassr must be able to win every match they play. and hope that Al Hilal slips in their 3 matches. thus, competition will become competitive again. supposedly, Al Nassr could do it. tomorrow, Al Nassr will host a match against Al Attifaq. 3 points must be the result they must get. plus, Ronaldo's opportunity to score as many goals as possible to keep his distance from Mitrovic. this match should have been won easily. however, I'm sure Steven Gerrard won't just let it go down. maybe, they will put up resistance. well, to be sure, we are waiting for the results of the match between these two teams.

We all know that when big teams are playing against smaller teams especially in the knockout UEFA Champions League competition, it's always rare to smaller teams eliminate the bigger teams but I think there are exceptions to that popular belief. The Arsenal vs Porto and Barcelona vs Napoli round of 16 ties I don't think are easy games that that can be easily predicted.

Arsenal we know have been impressive since the start of the season but when it comes to the UCL, Porto is a more successful club than Arsenal as they've won the competition before now. So you don't expect a former winner of the competition to be easily beaten. Porto understand how the UEFA Champions League competition is played and would definitely want to make a statement in their tie against Arsenal. Just like bookmakers, I'm backing Arsenal to progress but I expect the two-legged games to be a difficult one for both sides

Barcelona are the reigning champions of Spain and so are their Italian round of 16 opponent Napoli are the reigning champions of Italy and both teams have not been performing like that they did last season in their respective leagues. However, since Napoli sacked their former manager Rudi Garcia and hired the current manager Walter Mazzarri, they've improved their performance both in the league and in their final group stage game and that's why I don't expect Barcelona to easily eliminate Napoli in the round of 16.

Arsenal, has been my discussion in the previous two threads. now I discuss it again in the Champions League thread. I agree with what you said for Arsenal, and it will not be an easy matter for the Gunners to beat Porto in the next match. in fact, my question is whether Arsenal will be able to win when they visit Porto. because the first leg will be held at the Estadio do Dragao. if they are able to appear impressive, without mental pressure, the Gunners should be able to do their job well. because this match is an away match for Arsenal. so, there was no choice but to win the battle at Porto's headquarters. for the second leg, the Gunners played in front of their own supporters. as an Arsenal supporter, I don't worry too much when they play at home. and referring to betting bookies, Arsenal is indeed superior. there are no other words, as an Arsenal fan I wish them the best they can do in this competition.

Now, we are talking Napoli vs Barcelona. coincidentally, Barcelona and Arsenal are my two favorite teams. of course, I have high hopes if Xavi is able to bring his squad to appear much more established and solid. not because Barcelona is the defending La Liga champion, neither is Napoli in Serie A. these two teams can currently be said to be in an unstable condition. that's why, the bookmaker puts the odds equal to @2.55. even though it is still temporary, it means that it can be said that the two teams are equal opponents. however, Xavi should be able to manage his team better. because in terms of strength, Barcelona has much better depth. although, Gavi was absent due to injury. but at least, it looks like Barcelona has some newcomers. one of them, Vitor Reque wonderkid from Brazil. I know, this player will not immediately shine. but at least, there is additional ammunition that Xavi can use when their front line players have difficulty scoring goals. well, because this match still has quite a long time. let's just follow developments regarding the teams entering the round of 16.

I feel like Arsenal will take the victory tomorrow. Liverpool really struggled against a weakened Manchester United. They had a total of 30+ shots and couldn't manage to convert any one of them into a goal. Nunez, Salah, and others need to work on this if they want to win any points tomorrow.

Arsenal at this moment are looking very good. They have beaten Brighton in their last match convincingly. Whoever wins this match will be in a clear good lead, which will help them get the championship at the end of the season.

But let's not forget about Manchester City and Aston Villa. Manchester City were behind Arsenal last season as well and they came back to get the Premier League. Even though they are 5 points behind, it has been only half of the season, and 19 matches are remaining. Aston Villa has the same points as Liverpool and they might be even at the top of the league by the end of the gameweek. Manchester City and Aston Villa fans will be hoping for a draw in the Arsenal vs Liverpool match. I myself cannot wait to see that match live.

As a Gunners supporter, I obviously hope Arsenal can beat Liverpool at Anfield. unfortunately, the match between these two teams will not be easy. I think as for the Leverpool vs United match, we have to look at it from various aspects. in short, United tend to play more waiting and counterattacking, they try to block every attack after attack that Liverpool builds. unfortunately, of the 30 total shots, not a single one could be converted into a goal. plus, United's defense at that time played quite well, disciplined and solid. apart from that, Onana was the last wall that was difficult for Liverpool to penetrate at that time.

Well, I have to judge as objectively as possible, even though Arsenal is my favorite team. of course, the meeting between these two teams will be different. it could be that the situation is reversed like when Liverpool dominated United. because we know, Arsenal's style of play tends to be more offensive. Klopp could have used the same tactics as United, waiting for Arsenal to let their guard down and counterattack. so, there will be many scenarios that occur when these two teams fight on the field. theoretically, both teams carry an offensive system. so, there will be selling and giving attacks in this match. we'll see, because a battle in the midfield will occur in this match. referring to the temporary odds, Liverpool is slightly superior. however, the odds may change before this match is held. for now, I won't speculate too far. let's just wait, before the meeting between the two teams is held.

Talking about Aston Villa, I don't underestimate Unai Emery's squad in the slightest. however, I have no idea if this team is able to finish in the top 4 of the standings. we'll see how far they go. City, is a club that cannot be seen simply because their performance is declining right now. this team is always able to eventually overtake the teams above their ranking. moreover, there are rumors that City players are recovering from their injuries. what is certain is that a change in position in the top 4 standings has the potential to occur. Well, let's just wait for the match between Liverpool vs Arsenal to be held.

To be honest, I dont think Arsenal should make a major move for Toney. Although he is talented, I dont think he is a significant improvement over Gabriel Jesus. Undoubtedly, he possesses strength and a noteworthy physical presence, but will that suffice for Arsenal? They ought to set their sights higher, like a world-class striker, in my opinion. Arsenal needs more than just Toney's potential offensive punch. Not simply a physical presence, but someone who can completely change the course of the game is needed. Furthermore, Arsenal should exercise caution when spending a lot of money on players who dont represent a big improvement over their current roster, given the amount of money that is being spent on football these days.

As a supporter of the Gunners, I would be very happy if Arteta had plans to bring in one of the pure strikers that the team needs in my personal opinion. that doesn't mean Gabriel Jesus is not good, G.Jesus is an important player for the Gunners. because this player from Brazil is not only responsible for scoring goals, he is a more complex player. but on the other hand, the Gunners need pure stickers that can be relied on on the front lines as Goal Getters. one thing that Arsenal currently lacks is an established, pure center forward. thus, I am quite optimistic that Arsenal will become a strong team while also having several front line players who can be relied on. as for Nketiah, to be honest he hasn't been able to prove that he plays as a pure sticker at Arsenal level. that doesn't mean I think this player is bad, it's just that Arsenal needs more than that. reportedly, there are several English and German clubs who are interested in Nketiah. and Fabrizio Romano added in his report, maybe Arsenal will consider the striker. well, there is a big possibility that if that happens Arteta will recruit another player instead.

Now the question is, will Toney be a target for the Gunners. I'm not too sure if the price Brentford wants is fantastic. however, there is another club that wants the services of this Brentford player, namely Chelsea. although Fabrizio Romano reported that Toney was only targeting one step, namely The Emirates. well, to be honest I don't see any other decent stickers at the moment in the January transfer window. as for some established or young strikers, their transfer value will be very high. so, I'll just wait for further developments, especially towards January. I just hope that as a supporter of the Gunners, Arteta doesn't make a mistake in bringing in what they will be targeting later.

Thumping 5-1 win for Liverpool tonight. Much better than the bore draw against Man Utd on Sunday.

Much bigger game vs Arsenal at the weekend though. I will be there, looking forward to it.

Liverpool, successfully overthrew West Ham with a big score of 5-1. in fact, we can predict this match beforehand, if Liverpool will win this fight. in this match, referring to statistics, Liverpool really played dominantly and didn't provide many opportunities for the opposing team. honestly, I have to admit that now Jurgen Kloop's squad is showing a different appearance than last season. specifically, early in the 2022-23 season. now before heading to the final round of the EFL competition, Liverpool must defeat Fulham first. after that, Jurgen Klopp's squad has the potential to win the EFL trophy. and I'm quite sure, their probability is quite large compared to other teams. and it seems that Chelsea will be a strong challenger to meet Liverpool in this final match. even though this is just an assumption and speculation, these two teams have great opportunities and potential. and if at the end Liverpool and Chelsea advance to the final round, yeah, we know that Liverpool's performance is more stable and their game is quite impressive. so, let's just wait before we go too far in speculating. at least, Liverpool's chance of winning the EFL competition trophy is very close to them. however, in football it is unique and quite difficult to predict accurately and correctly. there's no other way, we'll make sure first when Liverpool play the match against Fulham later.

PSG victory in Parc des Princes when they faced Metz today is not a surprise, especially with Mbappe scoring two goals. Metz isn't doing good in Ligue 1 and that was their fourth successive defeats.
Now Nice won too at home against Lens by two goals, which is a good score comparing how much Lens improved comparing to the beginning of the season.
When comparing PSG with Nice, the difference is clear. The goals scored by PSG are twice more than what Nice scored. In fact the number of goals scored by Nice are less than the other top 7 teams..

Today, to be honest, I missed a lot of matches in all the leagues that I follow, unfortunately with the busy work I have to do, I can't predict the matches that are displayed in several leagues. speaking of Paris Saint-Germain, Enrique's squad beat Metz with a big score after drawing against Lille in the previous match. referring to the differences between these two teams, both in terms of ranking and performance in Lique 1. This result is a normal result and deserves to be obtained by PSG. even though in fact, I didn't watch the match. however, statistically speaking, PSG dominated both technically and tactically. well, at least I have followed PSG in their last 3 matches, Luis Enrique is starting to apply the same pattern as 3-4-2-1. it seems that Enrique is starting to seriously develop his new system other than 4-3-3. in the match they will play, it is very likely that Enrique will further improve the quality of his players and at the same time cover up their weaknesses. well, let's just follow the developments that Enrique implements. in essence, as long as PSG's position is secure at the top of the standings, the Spanish coach will try to experiment with what he wants. especially for now, he is more focused on rotating his players. as for Nice, they were good enough to prevent Lens from scoring in this match. Nice had a good defense, so Lens found it difficult to break down the home team. in the end, Nice was able to take advantage of the opportunities they had. in the end, Nice was still able to maintain its position in 2nd place in the Ligue 1 standings. a pretty good job for Nice, even though it will be very difficult for them to provide tough competition to PSG.
