I don't think Chelsea would even have a big chance to sign Osimhen now. Because they won't even be a part of the Champions League next season most probably.

There is no way they are catching up with top four first of all. Apart from that they have to win the Champions League title this season to be able to qualify for the tournament again. But it is also a far possibility to be realistic. I don't think Osimhen would like to join a team that aren't joining the biggest tournament in Europe. Manchester United are another interested team in him these days and they are likely to join the Champions League also. I guess Osimhen would be closer to them if he decides to leave.

Maç malesef beklediğimden kötü bir şekilde geçiyor. Daha ilk yarıdan Hırvatistan Kovacic'in attığı gollerle 2-0'ı yakaladı bile. Buradan maçı çevirmek bir hayli zor olacak. İkinci yarıda olabildiğince erken bir vakitte farkı bire indirmeyi başarabilirsek belki o zaman işler daha farklı bir noktaya doğru gidebilir. En kötü beraberlik almayı başarsak bile bizim için kar aslında.

İlk yarıda rakibimizden daha çok şut attık ama bir türlü golü bulamadık. Umarım daha efektif bir oyuna geçebiliriz.

Truthfully I also expect Arsenal to destroy Leeds in Emirates. Leeds are a team that are quite weak at defending so they wouldn't resist Arsenal easily.

Arsenal are on the road to the Premier League title in the end and they are in a really good form recently also. They should be able to move on by getting a win with a two-goal gap at least here. Until facing Manchester City in Etihad I can't say the most of their matches are difficult. The only one that might be is against Liverpool in Anfield. After seeing Liverpool demolishing Manchester United there they are a little scary to me.    Of course I don't mean they can do the same to Arsenal but they might make serious difficulties.

Hırvatistan'ın Galler'e puan kaybetmesi bir bakıma iyi oldu bizim açımızdan. Ama tabi Galler'e karşı oynayacağımız maçlardan en az 4 puan çıkarmamız lazım ki gerçekten işimize gelen bir sonuç olmuş olsun bu.    Galler eskisi kadar iyi oynayamıyor aslında. Hırvatistan'a karşı hiçbir şey yapamadılar ve golü çok şansa son anlarda bir defans hatası nedeniyle buldular.

Hırvatistan'ı aslında yenebilecek güce sahip olduğumuzu düşünüyorum ama içimden bir ses berabere bitecek diyor.

We are going to watch a match of two middle-placed teams as well next week: Chelsea - Aston Villa. 

I wouldn't like to say this normally but this is the truth I'm afraid. Chelsea are just dealing with the results of their bad performances now. They are sharing the points with Aston Villa currently and there is no way they are qualifying for any tournament at this point. They can just fight their way to upper positions at least. Aston Villa are better since Emery took the job. Therefore Chelsea need to be careful despite playing in Stamford Bridge. Otherwise they can even lose which wouldn't be too surprising now.

There is an Atletico Madrid - Betis match next week and it is important for the top four fight in the standings.

It is especially important for Betis to get a positive result. Because on the same week Villarreal are going to host Real Sociedad and Betis should be able to turn this into their advantage. However I must admit that their job against Atletico Madrid will be really difficult. Because Atletico Madrid have been in a wonderful shape in the league for so many weeks. Besides this match is in their stadium at the same time. Therefore I think they are an absolute favourite to win this match. I think I will add their win to my parlay.

If Tuchel arrives at Bayern Munich I think he would like to sign a top striker like a complete forward I mean. Lewandowski's absence must be still sad despite they are doing a decent job now. While he was playing for Bayern Munich they were much more consistent in every tournament. They are still consistent in the Champions League though but it isn't the situation in the Bundesliga.

I don't overlook Choupo-Moting's effort of course as he has played really well so far. However I still don't think Bayern Munich should make do with only him. When I think about a complete forward to fill Lewandowski's place the only player comes to my mind is Kane now. He would fit this team great but let's see if they can even steal him from Tottenham in the summer.

Herkesin görüşü farklı olabilir tabi ama bence en düşük emekli maaşının asgari ücretle eşdeğer olması lazım ki biraz daha sağlam bir iyileştirme olsun. Çünkü ülke şartları gitgide ağırlaşıyor sonuçta o yüzden bununla baş etmek hiç de kolay olmayacak bu insanlar için. 7500 tl alacak olan ve İstanbul'da yaşayan kim bilir kaç tane emekli vardır.

Biraz daha sağlam bir artış olsa bu kategorideki emeklilere biraz daha nefes aldırabilir.

I really appreciate Juventus' amazing climb despite the reduction of 15 points in the league. They have caught up with Atalanta a lot and the gap between is only 4 points now.

However there isn't still an easy job to do for Juventus now. Because the time is running out and their chance of qualifying for a tournament is dropping down quickly. They need to continue having a winning streak otherwise they had better forget about that goal. But their win over Inter in Giuseppe Meazza was really impressive and I think this is a sign that they will fight with all they have during the rest of the season. They are going for the Europa League title on one hand also. I think they shouldn't care less about the Europa League because it can be their only ticket to the Champions League.

This is like a last chance for Potter. I mean I assume Chelsea need to win the Champions League title for Potter to be able to stay here.

However this is a really far possibility in my opinion. I remember the 2020/21 season in which Chelsea weren't being counted on to make it to the title. But Tuchel was a great tactician and he prepared really great strategies which carried them to the championship. Everyone was surprised. But I don't expect the same performance this time. Potter doesn't have the same kind of strategies that can help them be that much successful now. They are still a very inconsistent team about scoring multiple goals in a match or keeping a clean sheet.

I just can't believe in Liverpool against Manchester City in their match up next at all. Because all the indicators I have seen so far are pointing directly to a loss against Manchester City.

The only positive thing I see in Liverpool is that they defeated Manchester United with an unbelievable score like 7-0. However this isn't an incident that happens very often. Besides even a win like this over a strong team like Manchester United hasn't been any help for Liverpool to improve their performance. They lost to even Bournemouth after that. You know that this is the Bournemouth that Liverpool demolished in Anfield. Liverpool are a hard-to-understand team now. I don't have any expectation from Liverpool here.

Şu saatten sonra ligde merak ettiğim tek bir şey kaldı o da Sevilla'nın ne yapacağı. Çünkü hala düşme hattına oldukça yakın bir konumdalar. O kadar hafta geçmiş olmasına rağmen hala bellerini doğrultmayı başaramadılar. Bunun sonuçları onlar için çok ağır olabilir gibi görünüyor. La Liga'yı da Avrupa Ligi kadar önemseseler kendileri için iyi olacak.

Avrupa Ligi'nin bu sezonki tek şansları olduğunu tabi ki anlıyorum ama La Liga'daki formsuz görüntüleri onları düşme hattına itebilir yeniden. Bana düşmezler gibi geliyor ama sanki geçen seneki Everton'ın yaşadığı olaya benzer bir durum yaşayabilirler.

I don't have a very positive expectation from the Cadiz - Sevilla match ahead truthfully.

Because I remember their last match against each other also. Sevilla played really dominant statistically but they barely won by 1-0 anyway. Rakitic's penalty goal in the last minutes saved them. Now they are the away team and I don't know if they can get a similar result at worst. They both have the same points in the league now and the same goal also. They both are targeting to stay in the La Liga. Sevilla have the Europa League to focus on more of course. But this shouldn't cause them to let the La Liga go. I would like to see them defeating Cadiz here.

Benfica - Inter matchup is a candidate to be a really competitive one honestly. Besides it has been a very long time since these teams played against each other the last time. I mean it was like 19 years ago.    Therefore I'm curious about which side can outweigh the other here. I guess they would like to weigh themselves first in the first leg. The match is in Portugal so Inter would play more safe I assume.

It would be for the benefit of them also. Because Benfica are a team that are really strong in their attacking line. They have been really productive so far in the season. They need to get as good advantage as possible home to be able to do better in Italy later on. But it is still doubtful if they can do this or have the same scenario as Porto.

I see that Newcastle - Manchester United is also a match that is worth watching. Because there is a really lovely competition between these teams for finishing the season in top four.

Of course I know that Manchester United are already in this area. But they aren't that comfortable at the same time. They still need to fight hard until consolidating and securing a spot in this area to qualify for the Champions League. I guess they would like to forget about the unbelievable loss against Liverpool by starting a winning streak. It is just the opportunity for them actually but this match also won't be easy for them. Because Newcastle seem to be back on track again by getting two wins recently. I guess I will just prefer both teams to score for this one.

There is going to be a Napoli - Milan match next time but I'm not too excited about that either.

Because it doesn't change anything for Napoli even if they lose the match which is a small probability in my opinion. They are already 19 points ahead of their closest "title rival" which is Lazio. Let's say the gap between Napoli and Lazio is maintained for five more weeks then Napoli will still declare their championship officially in that time. Napoli are completely focused on the Champions League actually. This is a golden opportunity for Milan while they still have a goal left in the league. They are trying to secure a top four finish. But I still think like Napoli will win as I don't trust Milan's performance much.

Now I'm hearing about some new rumours regarding Tottenham. Pochettino's name is called with Tottenham once again.

According to this rumour some Tottenham players have contacted with him for asking about a possible return. It is said that he is also leaning towards a return to his old team. I don't really understand Tottenham. I mean they can try a different manager until finding the one who can carry them into a much better position. But they are still thinking about Pochettino as a candidate. I remember the season in which Tottenham reached the Champions League finale - 2018/19 season. But they weren't much impressive in the Premier League on one hand. I don't know if he can make difference.

En çok hoşuma giden şey de artık matchmaking için tickrate probleminin çözülmüş olması. 64 tickrate serverlarda oynamak işkence gibi geliyordu. Resmen garanti gitmesi gereken kurşunlar havaya gidiyordu. Sırf bu yüzden oyundan soğuyup ara vermiştim. Artık bu sorun ortadan kalktığına ve daha tutarlı serverlarda oynayabileceğimize göre geri dönebilirim.

Source 2 tabi ki sadece tickrateten ibaret olmayacak o yüzden diğer değişiklikleri de bizzat oynayarak görmek için sabırsızlıkla bekliyorum.

I don't think Bayern Munich would be very unhappy if they lose the Bundesliga title to Dortmund this season. It isn't their priority right now.

Their priority is obviously the Champions League title. Because it is a much more prestigious title above all else. Besides Bayern Munich have been dominating the Bundesliga for ten seasons in a row. I don't think they would be affected very badly by not winning this time. However the der Klassiker in Allianz Arena is still in favour of Bayern Munich on paper. Bayern Munich have been very superior to Dortmund in the head-to-head matches so far already. I know how they lost to Leverkusen but I still see them one step ahead of Dortmund home.

Juventus - Sporting could be another interesting matchup in this round. Because Sporting have eliminated Arsenal as you know. This was a really unexpected incident not only for me but for everyone I guess. Arsenal were like the biggest title contender according to bookies at the same time. They have said goodbye to the tournament very early. After this elimination I think Sporting will be much more motivated in the Europa League.

They might not even qualify for the Champions League considering their position in the Liga Portugal. The Europa League is very important for them at this point. Juventus are also a challenging opponent for them now. Arsenal were a stronger one maybe but Juventus might even be tougher for them with a different game plan. I think this matchup will be really close but this will be the end of the journey for Sporting.
