Of course, but Xavi is trying to shoulder the team in times of need. What they want to do is very challenging. They will not spend much money and will be successful. This seems unlikely. He promoted a few players from La Masia to the A team level, but it would not be right to expect the same great performance as in previous years.
Most of the blame will still be on xavi as it has to do with the teams performance and it's normal that whenever a team is declining in their performance the first point of call is the coach and it's very fine because he overseas every affair of the team especially on the pitch and the results they produce. There are young players who are able to help the team get desired results as expected of them, this was seen in their las two games when firstly was the pattern of the game experienced after a few changes and in the most recent has to do with the performance of the team using the younger and good players all through so I will say so far it's more of a tactical problem and player's placement if xavi can further improve on these aspect he can make do with the squad he has got and possibly get amongst top four even if he's in able to win the lalig a this season but then by next season he will be properly positioned for winning trophies. |

Indeed, until today the unbeaten record is still owned by Leverkusen. But with the condition of the difference in points not much I think there will still be many opportunities for Bayern Munich. There will still be many matches and surprises. In addition, the transfer season will change a lot of circumstances and strength. I admire Leverkusen but I'm not sure they can win. I think this will last until the end of the season. The championship will probably be decided by the end of the season.
Bayern Munich needs to win straight two game along side Leverkusen loosing two straight games too for Bayern Munich to finally top the table with just a point difference and with Leverkusens performance so far and their recent form, I doubt if they will just let go of two game consecutively without a draw or win still. It's very true Bayern Munich have still got a chance to getting to the top of the table but then it will mean that Leverkusen will slack a while before such can happen, by Munich's next fixture, they have a good chance at tightening the gap between them and Leverkusen to the top of the table but then if Leverkusen wins their next game, they will be able to still maintain the gap, they will also maintain a close margin if the get a draw, at this point both teams still have almost equal opportunity at the trophy. |

Yesterday Roma vs Atalanta in the Italian League, the match between the two teams scored 1-1. The players of the two teams fought hard, but neither team could win the match. The match was a draw due to the fact that the players of the two teams scored the same number of goals, so the points were shared between the two teams. T. Koopmeiners scored the first goal in the first 8 minutes of the game. Shortly after that, Roma's P. Dybala scored a goal in the 39th minute to draw the match. After that, neither team could score a goal. Played well in this match.
Roma played better than Atalanta and they created big pressure and many opportunities on Atalanta. They have reasons to feel disappointed about themselves with this draw and only one point after the final whistle. Their players made inaccurate shots or sometimes they decided inappropriately between making a shot or a pass to their team mate, and results are wasting good opportunities. This draw does not help Roma to improve their ranking and with some tough matches ahead, this draw actually is not good for Roma. Roma is now regaining their form and did performed impressively in yesterday's game, they will only need to add some level of consistency to their performance if they want to continually get better and climb up the table again but then the draw yesterday was of no much impact on their position on the table. Roma needed a win from that match and they did played like a team that was expecting to win at the end of the game but then it seemed like they were not just luck that day, Atlanta didn't make it an easy game for them but they did performed even better than Atlanta did all through the game from the first to the second half, Roma had a better possession of the ball than Atalanta did they even made much more attempts then Atlanta and all other stats were mostly in favour of Roma much more than it was in favor of Atalanta so it could be said Roma had a hard day. |

There are clear indications that Mbape might end up signing a new contract at PSG because there is an agreement between him and the club,and it is that agreement that has made it impossible for him to just leave when he wanted to leave.PSG are eager to retain Mbape and wants him to renew his contract,but Mbape is still weighing the possibility of joining Madrid.
And for his contribution to his club in the champions league, ofcourse,every player thats playing in the champions league wants to do well for the teams,and Mbape is one of them,so giving his best for the team is not a new thing,he must do that to fulfill all righteousness and terms in his contract,but I am quite sure his effort alone cannot get them to the Champions league final.
If his contract is ended in PSG and he's really kin on leaving the team, I don't think it's okay to trying to convince him to staying because somehow it may be to the detriment of the team but if he's still willing to stay at PSG then he should be given a better offer to further encourage and make his stay wotht the while for him. If he's really particular about going to Madrid then he should take up the contract and move moreover his impact alone in PSG was not going to give them the UCL title as team work from others will be needed too, he only does the best he can, score as many goal as he can but then he will still need some good and quality team mate around him to enable the team get to the UCL finals and probably win as they desire but beyond this, mbappe alone will not do the magic all alone. |

Villarreal is doing shit in LaLiga and good in Europa LEague like the guy above me said, it reminds me about the Sevilla last year, who was a total mess in local tournament but ended up winning the Europa League, in the case of Sevilla they start bad in LaLiga and ended up in good shap, but is an equal case with this of Villarreal, but i dont see Villarreal winning anything.
Sometimes it could be a strategy adopted by a team to winning an elite league title that's why you see them performing poorly in their domestic league and doing better in am elite league just like you did mentioned with Sevilla, they knew they had better chance at the Europa last season than they had in their domestic league so they gave more attention to the Europa. I wouldn't say it's same with Villarreal because they don't have a chance at their domestic league neither do they seem like they do with the Europa, the Europa currently is as competitive as their domestic league if not even more competitive, moreover the group stage wasn't a difficult one for Villarreal and that doesn't in anyway make the appear like a better team to me, I still believe they may not be able to get past the quarter finals where they will be meeting one of the big names in the Europa this season, either Liverpool, Leverkusen, Ac Milan or Roma, neither of this teams is seen as leaser or lower than Villarreal as they all seem to surpass Villarreal by almost all standards. |

Even with or without Salah I knew Arsenal can't win the match cause the team lacks the effort to push through, I don't know what's happening to the structure of the team cause during the early season Arsenal was not like this and it seems they'll continue playing like this each match day, Arteta should change the key starters if he really want the team to push forward this season, and seeing the premier league season now Manchester city and Liverpool will definitely kick Arsenal out from the game if they're not careful and now Bruyne is back so we might likely expect more from Manchester city.
The return of bruyne has a very significant impact on Manchester city as his absence has greatly been felt, even if the team has been doing well without him, there's still a good difference in their performance when he's around and so now that he's back along side Haland, I'm optimistic about their performance both in the UCL and the premier league. The only factor that may affect the performance of bruyne is the fact that he will now be injury prone and will have to be careful not to sustaining another injury before the season ends . Arsenal is on a decline recently and personally I can really tell what's the problem because there have been no significant case of injury or any key player moving away from the team so it's really not easy to ascertain what exactly is the cause of the decline they are currently experiencing and very likely it may coat them the league because Liverpool and Manchester city are becoming even better and liable to winning the trophy. |

This season's knockout round could be fierce because several teams that did not qualify for the Champions League are already in the European League in this round, so it is quite possible that the match could be quite fierce and tough. In the middle of next month, Roma must be able to beat Feyenoord at de Kuip if Roma wants to easily qualify for the next round after finishing this knockout round. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Leverkusen may both run more differently than AS Roma.
AC Milan is the only team who got knocked out of the champions league who is now in the europa that could pose a threat to other big names who were already in the Europa before their arrival, the fierceness of the knock out stage of the Europa lays amongst a few team and not most of the team and it could be seen amongst Liverpool, AC Milan, Leverkusen and Roma. This is my personal opinion about the knock out stage of the Europa currently because all other teams were just around average and a few below average Roma may actually get pass the knock out round but then they don't look to me like they will make it to the finals although I know Mourinho is doing a great job with Roma but their case of injury has also been a set back for them but then if all injured players are back definitely they will be able to do much applying consistency alongside. |

In Barcelona, the existing monetary issues are not totally settled, and this puts a boundary on the options of the club. I do not have any idea how long the monetary issue will be settled. How long the club will endure? Regardless, it has a strong squad, but they will struggle with winning the La Liga and contending at the Champions League.
But I am seeing an open door for different clubs to move forward. Girona is at the top of the table this season and is certainly standing out with a great start to the year, winning its match over Atletico Madrid. Anyhow, it is still in the middle of the season and there are many matches left.
Girona has got really good potential with the la Liga , before now I wasn't confident about them regardless of the fact that they were at the top of the table earlier but after they won Atletico recently they some of my doubts began to clear to the fact that they have won elite team aswell as they have been winning smaller teams. Girona will end up securing a good spot on the top four if they are unable to win the league trophy by the end of the league this season, Barcelona has got a good squad currently and the fact that their finance isn't allowing them add more players to the squad shouldn't really be a problem because bif they have got a good tactical approach alongside their current squad they will be able to do so well both in the UCL and in the la Liga but then xavi seem not to have figured out a good tactics that fits the team well enough to be able to get them to winning or getting to the top of the standing. |

Juventus still doesn't want to lose the race they have with Inter Milan and they are lucky to win the game they had against Salernitana. Juventus was close to losing two important points and taking a draw in this match but in the end, they scored the second goal in the last moment of the match and won the game with a 2-1 result.
Dušan Vlahović the player of Juventos couldn't have a good performance in this match but he scored the second goal and saved his team.
The game against salernitana was a very decisive one for Juventus because if they had lost they game, they would literally have to struggle even hard to be able to close the gap that will be between them and inter Milan, which would be over five points gap but now it will be just a few points to cover up for and the top could be possible again. Despite every effort Inter Milan puts in broadening the gap between Juventus and the top spot on the table Juventus is relentless about making sure they get to the top is the table and staying there well enough to winning the league title as this is their only opportunity to win a trophy this season, inter Milan may at some point get distracted by the UCL and this i think will be the edge Juventus may be having at that point against inter Milan and if it's uitilzed well enough, they could get to the top and definitely win the serie A this season. |

I agree with what you said. No one had ever heard of Revel, except maybe the French. So it's not surprising if they were able to win that match. I think it would be surprising if they lost or won 1-0 against Revel. However, I still appreciate what PSG did because getting a big win means that PSG still has a squad that is strong enough to be able to dominate the league. I'm confused why they didn't field a second tier player against Revel?
I don't even see such victory as such that should be exciting or make PSG it was naturally expected of them to win that match without stress which of course they did won with such a landslide victory and a very good margin such that their opponent wasn't able to score a goal against them all through the match. Revel is a name I heard for the first time when they had the encounter with PSG, before then I never came across such name in football and of course they aren't rated any high in any of the french league they can't even be compared to any team in the Ligue 1 aswell so definitely they were no competition for PSG. In the Ligue 1 PSG remains the most elite team and have got the best squad in the french league so it was very possible that such an elite had such win or even more of such a weak team. |

Anything is possible in the world of football. Unless PSG management does not want Mbappe to continue playing at PSG, that is when Real Madrid will be able to sign Mbappe from PSG. Mbappe can be given a lucrative deal by PSG management that could make Mbappe turn down offers from other clubs, remember what happened in the years past when Real Madrid wanted to sign Mbappe, but PSG management used a lucrative deal to make Mbappe remain at PSG.
Mbappe's transfer has been a good topic in awhile now on the media because it has concurrently remained uncertain if he's accepting a deal from Madrid or he's staying back at PSG, at some point it was rumored he renewed his contract at PSG and later on it turned out he might be leaving as a free agent but then I'm currently not sure exactly which it is. PSG could still get him to staying back probably with a very good and lucrative offer just like you stated and of course it's very possible but till the end of the transfer windows this January then the certainty of his movement cannot be ascertained if he's still staying back at PSG or going to Madrid or any other team outside spain probably in England or so but there's no need yet about any interest originating from England been linked to mbappes transfer, but for sure if his service isn't required anymore at PSG they may have to let him go otherwise they will give him an offer to keep him. |

The Bundesliga title race is on and Bayer Leverkusen have been leading from the early moments of the first season till current date. A difficult team is well known to be a complex club finding it hard to cooperate within themselves. The possibility of Leverkusen losing points currently is 10% because Xabi Alonso and his squad already know what to do inother to win matches, they're no longer relenting, rather they would lay targets on winning results. Borrusia Dortmund tried to stop Bayer Leverkusen by becoming the first team to hand them their first defeat of the season, luckily Leverkusen escaped with slim chances.
Bayern Leverkusen is tops on the bundesliga table and they are still very much in a good form but at the moment since after the break we are yet to get any performance from them so we can really ascertain how well their form is at the moment until they get on a game and we see their performance they we can tell for sure if they are still in such a good form. Dortmund isn't in their best form but then they were able to put up a good performance against Leverkusen, a draw wasn't a bad one and Leverkusen was very sure not to let Dortmund give them their first loss of the season and that was the last game before the break and so it was crucial they maintained their record just before the break, I'm seeing a possibility of Leverkusen finishing unbeaten this season but what's not guaranteed yet is if they would be able to win the league title by the end of this season. |

I'm not sure Liverpool will still perform well even without Moh Salah because Moh Salah is Liverpool's key player in achieving victory and recently Moh Salah has increased his total goals and matched Haaland, even though Kloop is an experienced coach, Salah's presence is still important for the team, but If it really is urgent and Moh Salah is forced to leave Liverpool, it can't be helped, Kloop will definitely think of other options so that Liverpool continues to perform well without his presence.
But looking at Liverpool's last match against Arsenal away without Moh Salah, Liverpool could still win it, either because they were lucky or because Liverpool still tried hard to win, but hopefully this is not just luck and Liverpool will be fine without Salah.
Since MOH Salah left for the AFCON Liverpool has won a few games even in his absence which for me is a clear indication that they can still manage to cope in his absence, we all know how crucial is his role to Liverpool but that alone will not make Liverpool just lose games and probably drop form so bad. The presence of Salah will no doubts do Liverpool so much good especially with the fact he scores a good number of goals for the team which has actually placed him side by side with haland who also happens to have scored some good number of goals too in the premier league which places him as the highest goal scorer in the premier league this season but then it's really an advantage for haland who is in Manchester city and will still be playing while Salah is away for the AFCON which means Salah may no longer be the highest goal scorer again but then Liverpool will still do well regardless. |

We are the same, I still haven't had a bad experience with gambling too, so I don't regret that gambling was introduced to me.
And I think it's not your friend's fault or whoever invited you or introduced you to gambling, it's your fault why it happened to you, you can't blame others because you are in control of your thoughts, you are the one in control they are not themselves. So it seems unfair if you blame your stupidity in gambling on your friends who taught you to gamble. You enter gambling knowing that it is dangerous.
Nobody should be blamed when we loose our games gambling because if we had won I think we wouldn't be blaming them either rather we would wan to have the whole money to ourselves, while saying we were deserving of the winnings because we did take the risk so if such person wanted such then the person should have aswell taken such risk and maybe they would have been lucky. Taking responsibility as an adult is very important for every of your actions because you definitely wouldn't want too many people to share in it if it were to be profitable because they you will realize how much of responsibility you have got a d would want to take care of these responsibilities from the proceed you Made gambling. When you lose you should only see it as a lesson to learn fr gambling and if you don't really get comfortable with the fact that you lost then Maybe you choose to continue or quit and stop throwing blames at people for introducing you to gambling. |

Xavi seems like he cant find the last turn in the team, is like they still have the same failures as always and they are not a consistent team, not matter which team is in front, for example yesterday, you cant allow a weak team like Barbastro score two goals against you.
Such a poor record for such an elite team Barcelona, they were able to win but then it wasn't a good one that such a weak and small team was allowed to get two goals against Barcelona, teams like Girona or Real Madrid wouldn't allow for a single goal let alone two from such a team that's to be considered so weak. It's obvious Barcelona still needs to improve because with such performance in the la Liga they will definitely be loosing to an average team in the la Liga because barbastro wouldn't even get beyond relegation if they were in the la Liga. Xavi needs to start using the younger players who will perform better than the regular players, these young players such as victor, yamal and Felix should be futures full time maybe they will make a better replacement because they look even more productive and the defense line of Barcelona needs some further improvement because they don't look difficult to penetrate recently. |

Last season's defending champions are nowhere to be found, yes that would be Sevilla who had to return home early from the Champions League without being able to participate in the Europa League. They are very famous in the European League, because they are recorded as champions here very often. Last season they also proved that they are a club that can compete in the European League and beat AS Roma in the final. But unfortunately they are now not here to spread threats to other clubs.
This season Sevilla are very worrying, they are not like the Sevilla I saw before. They are struggling to perform well in the matches they play. In La Liga they are now 16th, which doesn't speak well for a club that has won Europa League titles before.
Every season comes with its variation such that big team could suffer losses enough to not be seen in their big name as they used to be known, Sevilla last season was very outstanding and normally we would expect they this season they will be high in the confidence as winners of the Europa last season but then they literally struggled at the UCL and was unable to get pass group stage. Sevilla has really performed poorly this season and even in the la Liga they may stand chances of relegation if they continue in their recent form but then the January transfer window is still open if they would want to make some adjustments and probably strengthen their team to getting back on their feet via transfer of a few players who could join the team and help them make up for the positions where they are lacking. With their current form, I doubt if they would be able to do any better at the Europa if they were opprtuned to be at the Europa this season because the Europa is very competitive as compared to last season. |

Talking about the competition between PSG and Nice, of course anyone will say that PSG is far superior while Nice is just a small club that is experiencing temporary improvement and I am sure that PSG will win the League 1 title very easily because Nice is really not an equal opponent unless Lens, Marseille and Monaco can continue to improve their performance. These three clubs are more worthy of being PSG challengers because in terms of experience these three clubs are far superior to Nice.
I don't have confidence that PSG can win the title in the champions league because even though they have mainstay players it doesn't mean they are used to competing with other big clubs because this has been happening since last season when having several players was easy but in fact it failed and I also actually don't have confidence in Enrique because He is not experienced enough to be able to take PSG to the Champions League.
Nice isn't a club to be considered just too small yet even if it's looking like they are just getting to improve in the Ligue 1 this season but then they have always been above average teams in the Ligue 1, even in subsequent sessions,.they have not been too bad enough to get to relegation, a few times they were able to make it to.the top.four. I know I'm superiority PSG still stands out way bigger but then this season Nice have been in one of their best form and shouldn't be in anyway underestimated even if I know PSG has got the best squad in France currently but they shouldn't forget quickly how it happened last season when they went lax a few times and it denied them the Ligue 1 title, same may apply with Nice even if I know they are quite far away as the margin with which PSG is ahead is literally broad but then since they have the UCL to play, it could be a distraction that could probably get them some slacks in the Ligue 1 |

Recent Napoli form is depressing, especially given their past performances. They lack Spalletti's supervision, and it shows on the pitch. The players' struggle against Torino indicated a form or motivation issue. Last season's domination seems distant. The gap to Inter Milan and Juventus widens. They must win frequently or risk missing out on the Champions League. Certainly, Napoli fans are struggling.
I'v always known that changing coach at that time he was changed in Napoli will definitely get to be an issue for them but then it did sounded like it was the best thing for them at that point since it was looking like spalletti was almost loosing control of the team after helping them win the league last season. In a matter of time when they probably get used to the new coach Napoli may likely get back to their feet and again dominate the serie A as they did last season but I don't see them doing that this season, maybe bit will take them some few times and they will be able to fix that and get on their feet again probably by next season but now they should just try to seeing if it's possible they will be able to make it to the top four and then they can say they ended the season on a fair note in the serie A this season. |

This is football and things can change very fast. The point difference is not much between Bayern Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Bayern Leverkusen has lost Bofiface to the Nigerian national team for the Afcon tournament and if they are not prepared go cover for his absent it might really affect them since he has been scoring lots of goals for them. I just hope his absence won't cost them the too spot in the league table.
The point gap between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich isn't a news again about how narrow it currently is so definitely even Leverkusen is very much aware of the risk ahead if they are not able to secure some good wins to further broaden the point difference between both teams in the Bundesliga this season. There's one thing I really observed about the Leverkusen team this year, they are not dependent on any particular player for their success so it's more like the presence of any player will only be an added advantage but then it will never be that the absence of a player will cost them an entire match probably. Leverkusen loosing one of their players to the AFCON wouldn't be much of a challenge even though he has been a great contributors to the numbers of goals they get in a match, but then I don't want to believe Leverkusen will loose their form due to the absence of these players. |

Here is the list of temporary top scorers in the EPL and as usual there is the name Erling Haaland who tops the temporary tally with 14 goals and that is the same number as Mohamed Salah who is behind in terms of age. Erling Haaland is still very young and is still consistent with Manchester City and it is likely that he will still be the top scorer in the 23/24 EPL season. Apart from that, there is one surprising name, namely Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth who has managed to score 12 goals so far and that is also the same number of goals as Son from Spurs. Another one is Jarrod Bowen from West Ham with 11 goals which also enlivens the list of top scorers so far.
I think the competition between these players to get the EPL golden boot is still very wide open and they still have the opportunity to increase the number of goals they will score in the remainder of this season. But what is clear is that the competition for top scorers will still be dominated by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah until the end of this season. Quite curious who will set another record this season.
Salah has already gone back to his national team to enable him participate in their African cup of nations games , even last night he wasn't present with thee team playing against the gunners in the FA Cup and I think that will definitely affect his position in the chase for the Golden both at the premier league because he will be missing some games. Before Salah will be back I'm sure the league would be just a few match to ending and definitely Haland if he's able to get a goal at least in all the games he will be playing while Salah will be absent then he can be sure to secure the golden boot because he definitely will be some good number of goals ahead of Salah by the end of the season but then if he's unable to get such good number of goals before the return of Salah then he should be sure to drag the title with him when he's back, because Salah will stop at nothing to getting all the goals he can get. |
