Yes, La Liga clubs do have a higher winning mentality, but even so, other clubs still have a big chance if they are able to compete more impressively in the Champions League and European League match. But last season, unfortunately, Real Madrid had to be eliminated earlier in the past and did not reach the final so that the Champions League trophy was won by the Premier League club Manchester City, Sevilla this season was also eliminated in the Champions League and in the Europa League so the opportunity to win the trophy may be between the Premier League club and the Bundesliga club while the Laliga club is taking part in the competition Only Villareal managed to qualify for the round of 16, but it seems like this club is not as much of a favorite as Liverpool and Leverkusen even though this club also played quite well in the group stage.

Leverkusen and Liverpool will certainly have a bigger chances in the European league and they will also focus on competing there to compete for the European League title, but they also have to focused on the domestic league in order to achieve good result too and next season they can compete in the Champions League, not in the European league.
The Europa League has been favorite for the Spanish Club especially Sevilla but this time we’ve more of English and Germal clubs remaining in the competition. Liverpool and Leverkusen seems favorite and will be more focused on winning the UEL so that they can add to their title collections because they’re both doing well domestically. We also have the likes of Westham from England who’re doing well in the UEL but might not go far.

 So this season I think either England or Germany will take home the UEL and I don’t think we’ll have anything short of this. My bet is on Leverkusen, despite the fact that they'll face a big competition from Liverpool and the rest of some too European teams that are still in the competition but I really want them to win the UEL title cause they've really maintained a good record, not only in the UEL but also in other competitions that they're still involved in.

However, this hope has the potential to be dashed for Ronaldo fans all over the world, if in the end Ronaldo is unable to bring Al Nassr to present the Saudi Pro League trophy plus the top scorer belongs to his rival Mitrovic. in this thread, it is very likely that almost most of them are Ronaldo fans, because Ronaldo is always the best-selling theme in every discussion in the Saudi Professional League thread. to be honest, I am a neutral supporter for this competition. the point is, I only enjoy matches that are interesting and crucial for me. the rest, I don't really follow the development of the lower middle teams. currently, the Saudi Pro League has presented 19 matches and Al Hilal is perched at the top of the standings.
meanwhile, Al Nassr is in the runner up position with a difference of seven points from Al Hilal. 7 points adrift of the top of the standings, this must be a strong motivation for Ronald and his colleagues to keep Al Nassr on the right track. apart from that, if Ronaldo cares about the competition for top scorers, Ronaldo automatically has to prove his capacity as a sharp player even though he is no longer young. after all, Ronaldo has a lot of support from his teammates. there are Sadio Mane, Talisca, Brozovic, and several other players. in terms of quality, Ronaldo gets special support from his teammates who have the ability to help him break into the opposing team's goal.

Apart from that, being 7 points behind doesn't have to discourage Ronaldo fans. after all, this competition still had a lot of matches left. and what is certain, overall Al Nassr will play on the right track. however, the rivals will not let their rivals get close to their points. which means, Jorge Jesus will try to ensure his squad stays on the winning track until they get closer to winning the trophy this season. likewise with Mitrovic, the Al Hilal center forward would be honored to compete with a star of Ronaldo's caliber. whether in terms of scoring goals, or bringing his team to win the League trophy. well, let's see how far these two teams compete and play their matches until the end of the season.
Ronaldo fans still want to hold up the argument on Ronaldo being the GOAT but I think it’ll be all over and crazy if our GOAT, Loses both the league and top scorer position. Which I don’t think he’ll lose both because it’ll be scary for us and a nightmare for us he fans. After about 19 matches, Ronaldo’s team’s still sitting far second on the log but what’s sweet is that him and his teammates are really fighting and supporting each other.

 The competition is still far way to its end and Al-Hilal must be able to maintain their form till the very end because any slip in 2 matches would make Al-Nassr overtake them and that’s pretty possible because football is a game and has 90 minutes to play. I think the competition between both teams is really fierce and interesting and the fans loves this healthy competition, Al-Hilal shouldn't be too comfortable with their spot on the table cause they're just 2 loses away from losing their position. And any mistake could see that become a reality which is something the CR7 fans are really hoping for.

That's true, Manchester City is not too late to catch up because the top 3 clubs have a small point difference so Manchester City still has the opportunity to reclaim the first position currently occupied by Liverpool because Manchester City still has 1 match remaining and if Manchester City is able to win the match then the difference in points with Liverpool is only 2 points and can shift Aston Villa in 2nd place so we shouldn't underestimate Manchester City just because they have lost a lot of points because they have had too many draws recently but in their last 2 matches Manchester City has returned to winning path so they are very ready to compete with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title.

Yes, the competitive nature of the Premier League is a big pressure for other clubs such as Aston Villa, Tottemham, West Ham, Brighton, Manchester United and Newcastle in competing for the top 5 positions, so they will struggle hard to achieve satisfactory results, but Manchester City is still quite stable in the league top position so it is not easy to displace Manchester City in the top position.
Manchester City are back in the title race and could cause some worries for other of their English counterparts especially as they’re now going to have the full squad back and in good shape. The points between them, Aston Villa and Liverpool is just a matter of a match to decide. I think it would take very long before they're catch up and begin to dominate the league as expected, I trust Pep Guardiola to do all he could in this 2nd half of the season to get to the very top of the league.

 Manchester City are pretty good when chasing for the title and they’re very determined to retain this title again. The EPL competition will be to much for Young Aston Villa but I think they might mot be able to contain the pressure from Tottenham and probably Manchester United. Manchester City has never been written off the league race rather I think other teams should be scared of their current form, especially now that KDB has turned, including Haaland as well.

During the two seasons Manchester United was coached by Erik Ten Hag, there were no significant changes, but in his first season, Erik succeeded in bringing Manchester United to finish in 3rd place in the standings and qualify for the Champions League. But in his second season, Erik Ten Hag was unable to maintain Manchester United performance because until week 20, or to be precise, they had played 20 matches but they were still stuck in 8th place in the standings. I think Erik Ten Hag is not a coach who will be able to bring Manchester United to success like the Ferguson era. He often makes trouble with his players, such as his incident with Ronaldo and Sancho. so that the coach incompatibility with the players will make it quite difficult to see that they can achieve their targets.

Not only that is a big problem but also the recruitment made by Erik Ten Hag is also not able to shine well under his coaching. This season it is possible that Manchester United will finish outside the top 4 which will most likely have a bad impact on Erik coaching career because he could be fired again if that is the reason management writes a letter of dismissal to Erik Ten Hag.
Well should we say he did well in his debut season to get the fans on his side because if we really check, most of the new players flourished that first season but now they’ve slowly gone under the carpet. And now their performance can't be likened to that of previous seasons. Maybe the injury crisis might have been part of the problem but United fans should grow past that excuse and blame the coach when necessary cause there are sometimes his poor decision making cause them to drop points.

 I think and the fans should start knowing that ETH could be one of the problems experienced because he’s not able to instill proper discipline on the players and that’s one quality of a good coach. Yes they’ll not be getting the top 4 spot but what’ll be crazy is of they’ll be heading to the Conference League maybe then the fans will turn to the coach. If Ten Hag wants to lead this team back to their glory days then he needs to start acting like a leader and instill proper discipline on this players.

will never happen and it is absolutely impossible for me that Nice can overtake PSG, whereas in terms of player performance two teams are very different and PSG is far superior to Nice.
on the one hand, believe it or not, I will be more confident that at the end this season, Nice will no longer be the runner up but Monaco will be the runner up in league 1 because in terms of experience, Nice is actually just like lucky team to be able to get runner up in the meantime, but the fact Nice still looks very inconsistent and will slowly fall to position below Monaco.

Its true that Nice seems very strong, but let's take a closer look at every performance of this team, even when playing against teams below them like
Le Havre and Nantes were unable to beat these two teams whereas team that is said to be quite strong and consistent will not be able to be beaten by a team below it and will usually only hold a draw because it maintains its consistent quality and from what I have said this is about the fact that Nice is not strong team and this is just a lucky team that is able to take advantage of the opportunity when top team has schedule to compete in another competition.
PSG are traditional winners of the French League and yes Nice this season have improved so well but I don’t think they’ll be able to overtake PSG. Yes the competition will be beneficial Nice but I don’t think they’ll be able to keep up for long. Monaco will be a better competitor than Nice, so I think that’ll be Nice’s major competition and not PSG who’ll sure get the league. Nice haven’t been so consistent and that’s one reason I don’t see them ending in the top 2 of the league.

 Winners of a league will not find it difficult to get victory over smaller teams but we’ve seen Nice already struggle against smaller teams and that’s not the characteristics of champions. However I love their improvement in the Ligue 1, they've turned from a mediocre team in the Ligue 1 to one of the top challengers for the title race, Nice might not win the Ligue this season but participating in the UCL next season seems very likely.

The fact that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris Saint Germaine doesn't mean that Manchester City's most priced asset Erling Haaland would also want to leave the English, European and world champions to go and join Paris Saint Germaine. Haaland is in a club where he's getting everything a top footballer would want to get ajd if he's ro leave Manchester City anytime soon, I don't think his preferred destination will be Paris Saint Germaine. How can a player leave a club as big as Manchester City for a club who is yet to win the UEFA champions league competition trophy in their history.

Sometimes in football, financial package of transfer offers doesn't determine a player's decision so if Paris Saint Germaine tables financial package that's too mouthwatering for Erling Haaland, I don't think it'll make the Norwegian change his mind and leave a Manchester City side that's managed by Pep Guardiola
The two players' condition can't be complained. We will agree that the style of play currently in City and PSG are different with City's style being the better one. PSG currently aren't so concrete with their performance and so Mbappe's impact is extra and his projection is a bit threatened too. The club isn't doing extra well currently but Mbappe either has to stay till his contract expires or till whenever Madrid is up to have him or he'd rather accept an unfavorable transfer bid from another club.

 We know what he's aiming for and asides PSG, Madrid is the only one that can give him his bid but they're not ready for him yet. Halaand has a supportive and consistent winning team and he's doing good with them, it's less stressful and he gets the right amount of projection he needs for himself. I don't think money would make Haaland change his mind and move to the Ligue 1 cause he's in a team that's very promising and has already given him his 1st champions league silverware.
1687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 05, 2024, 09:54:12 PM

Even if Premier League and Bundesliga play is different, Harry Kane will easily adapt to the play. Harry Kane is not like other players who, when transferred to another league or club, find it difficult to adapt to how they play there. Harry Kane is a good player that can suit any league that they will play in. The guy normally plays as a striker, and he has the skill to score goals. However, Premier League and Bundesliga are not the same as you said; there is a difference between these competitions. Bundesliga: obviously there are great players in the Bundesliga; you know that too, so you cannot compare them.

However, Kane going to Bayern Munich will be something great for the team because I believe the player will bring positive results to the group. The player will do as much as he can to provide positive results for the team because of the teams that Harry Kane played with when he was playing for Spurs. Most of those teams are playing more than some teams in the Bundesliga, which made me believe that he will find it very easy to succeed in the Bundesliga competition without many challenges, and we see that he even has a team that has some potential players that will help Harry Kane play very well in their matches.
Harry Kane is a world class player, one that would adapt to any League he moves to, he started with a tough league and I believe that's why it was easy to him to pick up after one or two matches and begin to bag in goals like he does in the EPL, even though Kane had gone to Laliga, maybe playing for Barcelona or Realmadrid I think he would've still remain the Harry Kane he is, a skillfull and versatile striker that's always ready to convert the right pass into a goal.

 His presence alone changed the atmosphere for them, because ever since their former top 9 Lewandowski left they couldn't rely on Chupo-Moting and Muller in that position and Mane wasn't really helpful that's why the was sold. But the presence of Kane changed everything, he didn't even take too long  before he started impressing the fans and turned into one of their favorite. Harry Kane is already succeeding in Munich and the number of goals he's scored is a prove for that, hopefully he'll achieve a silver with them this season to completely seal the success.

Xabi has caught the attention of many with his impressive performances at the helm of Leverkusen, he can showcase the strategies that can bring his club to the fore at the moment. In the Bundesliga they have been impressive, and in the Europa League, they have been the same, in fact, they are probably the only unbeaten club in two different competitions, the Bundesliga and the Europa League.
I am sure he will be a coach that big clubs will fight for, even recently he was rumored to be close to Real Madrid before Ancelotti was confirmed to have made a new contract with Real Madrid.
If he can bring Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga or the Europa League, his name will be even more fragrant and he will get a lot of praise from many people. Yes, I think he deserves it as an appreciation for what he has shown.
Xabi deserves all the applauds he’s getting now and will get more of he succeeds in clinching either the Bundesliga or the UEL. He’s transformed this mediocre Leverkusen team to a big night mare for most big gun clubs. This Leverkusen team has remained unbeaten in all competitions this season and are pretty comfortable in both competitions and this is the quality of a good coach.

 A sound and disciplined team who’s winning. I think Xabi is already getting on the radar of jobs for top clubs and soon he’ll be a big name and will be a hall of fame coach if he continues this way. Kudos Xabi,  he's shown the world that he's a talented coach and his recent success in the Bundesliga is enough prove that he's ready to step up to a bigger club where he'll be backed up with enough funds that would make him easily major silver wares.

I don't think the game will end in a draw because neither team plays at the same level. I understand that Manchester United takes tough opponents seriously, but in this particular match, I don't think Manchester United can defeat Tottenham. Keep in mind that we are talking about a team that is playing well, and based on their previous performances, we will know that they are in good enough shape to defeat Manchester United. Tottenham's struggles when some of their best players are injured are the reason they are still in fifth place in the league table; however, since some of them have returned, the team's performance has improved.

Manchester United's performance shows no signs of being able to defeat Tottenham. After losing to a small team in their most recent match, we are now believing that Manchester United can play and defeat Tottenham. However, we must also keep in mind that Tottenham has a strong striker in Richarlison, who can score goals and even humiliate Onanna. I believe Richarlison can score against Manchester United as well.
Tottenham vs Manchester United is one big match to be on the look out for especially this season based on both teams rankings. Well I don’t think Manchester United with their current squad will be able to match this Tottenham side. Yes, this Tottenham side could be struggling but I think they’re better off Manchester United because they’ve a serious chase at heart, the Top 4 spot.

 Not like Man United isn’t serious but I think they’re mot ready to get anywhere this season, they win some and loose more and that’s one reason Tottenham will come hurting them in this fixture. Richarlison is one hungry striker who’s ready to make his mark and his name and with United shaky defense, I don’t think they stand any chance against this sweet Tottenham’s attack, well their only hope would be if Lisandro  Martinez would be fit for the match since he's back in training.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 05, 2024, 09:03:06 PM

The team does not need many star players in the squad for a good performance. We have seen proof of this several times. The Chelsea team won the Champions League title a few years ago. They did not have many star players in their squad. Leverkusen are still unbeaten in the Bundesliga and Europa League this season. This team also has no star players in its squad.

PSG had many star players in their squad, but their coach was not good. There was no friendly relationship between the players in the squad. PSG team cannot do well in Champions League due to lack of friendly relationship between players and lack of understanding between players. But now PSG has an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. Now, if PSG's squad was as strong in attack as before, PSG would have been able to dominate the Champions League.
PSG have some qualities and so I wonder why they’re bent on building their team on one man who’s clearly wanting to leave. Now his departure is lurking around, they must try so hard to either learn to play without him or they suffer a while and them having the latter choice will be so devastating for the fans. Football requires 11 players, not one player and they’ve got some good talents on the pitch with them who can do wonders locally and in Europe.

 All that’s needed are development of these players and also get few more signings to make this team gel and try to blend well then boom they can get you trophies instead of relying on an individual which when he doesn’t play well, the whole team suffers. If they're to build their team around him then he should be willing to remain in the team and help them pass through thick and thins to get better, if not there's no point depending on him.

In my opinion, a difference of 7 points is a very large number, but of course Al-Nassr has the opportunity to catch up with Al-Hilal's points, but of course it's only a chance and we won't know what will happen with Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr's match in the future. but what is clear is that Luis Castro must be able to make a good strategy so that Al-Nassr performs well and always consistently wins and I think Luis Castro also needs to pay attention to Al-Nassr's back line if he wants to consistently win and in terms of attack, of course Al-Nassr has I think the strong attacker and midfield are also good. Yes, Al-Nassr will definitely be excited about the next match and surely Al-Nassr fans and Cristiano Ronaldo fans will also want to see Al-Nassr become champions this season.

yes, it looks like Al-hilal will be difficult to beat because Al-hilal has good players and of course Al-nassr's hopes are very difficult to come true because Jorge Jesus will also definitely make Al-hilal even stronger and of course Al-hilal will also definitely will be alert because they know that Al-nassr hopes Al-hilal to lose to take over Al-hilal's position, which is now at the top of the standings. However, sometimes match results are always full of surprises and difficult to predict.
Al-Nassr are 7 points behind as we head to the 2nd half of the season and it’ll only take some funny match scores from Al-Hilal so that Al-Nassr can go top. Consistency will be required from  Al-Nassr if they want to go up the ladder, well  their hope for the title is not yet over, since it takes just 2 defeats for their Arch rival Hilal to drop points and close the gap. Would Al-Hilal be able to win all their remaining matches?

 They’ll have to concede less and score very much to keep mounting the pressure on Al-Hilal though I don’t see Al-Hilal shaking too much. But they both have a match in the future and that match can be positive towards Al-Nassr victory to surpassing the current league leaders. Well Al-Nassr needs to try to mantain winning streaks and they could possibly overthrow  Al-Hilal because I think that’s the only way possible.

If you look at the Head 2 Head records, Sporting CP is definitely at the top and will be the favorite in this match, especially since Sporting CP is in much better performance when compared to Estoril. So I am quite confident that Sporting CP can beat Estoril even though with a thin score because Sporting CP doesn't want to lose its place in first place and wants to try to widen the gap with Porto and Benfica because the competition in the top 3 clubs is still very fierce until now because this match takes place at home so I think Sporting CP will be very profitable.

In the Boavista vs Porto match, I think Porto will also win because Boavista has been in bad condition in the last few matches Boavista has not won. Meanwhile, this match is quite tough for Boavista if they win even though they are playing at home. I'm not sure they can beat Porto with their condition at the moment.
In the Portuguese league, there are teams with higher impacts in the league games and European contests too. Benfica, Sporting, Porto are most impactful in this regard. For Porto, they're doing well in the league and also have good performance records in the UCL too. Same applies for Benfica and Sporting who's got their own record in the EPL too. Sporting were able to win their game confidently yesterday as well as Porto which signifies an improvement to their performances in the league.

 Although a lesser performance wasn't expected from them though but they're definitely a stable team in the league. The league seems less competitive though as there are still weeks left and just these 3teams are making good wave in the league. Over the years it's still these three that have been the most talked about because of the feats they've attained. One would be so sure to bet on these teams and their ability to keep progressing in points in their league games.

This season is far worse for manchester united. Im only saying based on the fact how poor the performance from manchester united. People were also feeling the same as me. Im thinking about manchester united to make more mistakes during the winter transfer season. There will be another flop to be recruited by ten hag soon. Manchester united is having very poor performance at this moment. Im not doubting that how ten hag got so many blames caused by his decision making to recruit the worst players with non sense price like mount and onana. Im waiting for another transfer from manchester united in the winter transfer season.

This will make the club to perform better than before. Im feeling so happy with it caused by ten hag could not perform better coz the potential of him to be sacked is very big this time.
I prefer MU to get a new coach rather than him. Ten hag was a flop, and he deserves no place in MU anymore as a coach. Im really tired of seeing his fucken face in manchester united.

He has been triggering so many internal conflicts in the club.
For United, they've had good records from the beginning of their existence till 2seasons ago when they started experiencing gradual decline. Their coach switches has an effect on the team, they found it hard to secure a good coach that complements and will impact the team positively. And this has been on and on till this season when the situation got critical and United is literally nowhere to be found in the top 4 spot and they keep going behind in their struggle each passing week. Ten Hag is obviously not good for them currently as the team keeps slacking back and they do not stop looking confused on the pitch. All his implemented tactics and strategies aren't okay off well for him and it's safe to say that as the head of the team, he's got the greater part of the blame to bear.

 United needs a switch and not just any switch but a more reasonable switch that'll understand their condition and think innovatively without sentiments with the goal of team building and growth and implement new methods to combat their opponents. I don't know what the board is waiting for to realize the big error Ten Hag is to the team. The entire team has been infected with his virus and they need to be quarantined and looked after to return back to their usual self again. Sadly it may take a while but we hope it's soon.

It's terrible stats from sevilla. The club was owning the ball even often than bilbao but it's only making two goal attempts. It seems sevilla will be trapping at the current position for years. The club needs to rebuild its financial first after it was paying a huge debt.
The new coach was not giving a good impact to the sevilla as it was also going out from UCL earlier. I can't even believe how the financial problem was destroying the club like makes it back to be a mediocre club again.

Im putting all of my respects toward mendilibar since he was able helping sevilla to get the europa league this season. I believe that if sevilla would not get it without him but the management was sacking him too early without even gave him the second chance to play. Im not even satisfied with the stats owned by sevilla and it must admit that if bilbao is far stronger than sevilla. The nuance is sevilla likes a mediocre team this time. im not mocking sevilla but just said bsaed on what i have seen from the result of previous matches. Sevilla is shit now and it has no chance anymore to get back to the what it used to be.

It takes years for sevilla to rebuild the club to be the same like before sevilla was putting all of its key players for sale. Glad to see bilbao has managed to get three points from its opponent.
The club is not wasting opportunity to score two goals against sevilla even though there were many chances were missed.
Sevilla this season have not lived up to expectation. They're more less far behind their usual range in seasons before. Then, they've even been opportune to stay in the UEL and even lift the trophy but currently, they're at a point where relegation is possible for them which is very bad. Just using them as a case study as there are other teams like them in other leagues. Their performance just at the beginning of the second half of the season wasn't encouraging.

 The subsequent weeks are unpredictable and there'll be positive or negative impacts on the squad and performances of the team. Maybe the change would effect a positive impact or maybe not but we hope to see what these teams unfold in their second half of the season after the January transfer window. The league races would definitely take a different turn for most teams.

Ziyech's departure wouldn't be very bad for Galatasaray I think. It is true that he made nice contributions in some matches but his overall performance was still not good enough so far. Galatasaray can absolutely fill his place with a more consistent player. But they had better make their choice wisely since they are in a title race in the Super League now.  Smiley

Actually Galatasaray and Fenerbahce both made a lot of transfers in the previous transfer window. As a result I wonder how much money these teams have left in their budgets now.  Huh
January transfer window is here, most teams would use the time to gather up new intensity to their squad, switches would occur and definitely either or positive or negative change in the team's performance would follow suit. The Turkish side have seen an essentiality of a switch up, it may seem advantageous to them although it's all ahead of the final half of the season as well as European cup contests too.

 These players have done their best for the team no doubt but there are decisions a team makes for their own selves, although some may not necessarily be favourable to the players but it just has to be made. This is an avenue for the team to make better signings that'd improve the squad strength. They're already a good side judging from their UCL performance and their domestic league's performance too but the management wants better and so it's a welcome if they decide to let go off of some men to bring in new ones.

Exactly, in fact I believe that when things are about Ten Hag they become an imminent problem, or that he thinks he is doing things well, but I really admire his talk to still stay on the same page, I don't know what so many things You can tell the owners of Manchester that they are still there, one thing is that they did very well in AJAX, but things in the PL are very different, and apart from this it is very different to manage a team like MU , that for so many years they have maintained an impeccable reputation, well only until he arrived, because the red sibels are no longer a bit scary and it is lazy to say something like that, before I thought of this team because it gave shit to any other team , especially the power they had in the UCL that they had participated in, but now all that was lost, it was forgotten and they see themselves differently, in fact they look very funny because even on ESPN the commentators seem to be Bullying them, Clearly the humor of some is quite peculiar.

Now, as has been stated before , if you are in a bad mood with your Football , nothing will be good for you, because obviously leaders like Ancelotti and Zidane show that they can always build good teams and champions, the case of Xabi Alonso is also getting closer to make a great history with their team in the Bundeliga, then they are people who do have a clear vision of football, who are not looking for excuses and I am sure that if they were to cause their teams to lose a lot, they would be willing to give take a step aside so that someone else can come and lift that team up, Sometimes you have to understand that if you are not well Qualified Enough for a position , it is because there are things that still need to be learned and you should not harm a team, because otherwise you will come out much better. through the back door , and it is difficult because a Coach must have his Reputation , something like this is Unfortunately Happening to Xavi in Barcelona , as a player the Best , but as a coach , there are Inconsistencies.

United currently are behind in their performance and a lot is obviously wrong with the team. For me I'd say the fault is from both Ten Hag and his players as well. The players fault in the sense that they're being too sluggish in the pitch, they play like there's no interest in the game and they just want to get done with it. The way and manner they give off chances and how smaller teams capitalize on their mistakes to earn a lead from them. They've got good players but the players aren't at their best self week after week.

 Also consider the coach being at fault because many times he'd make a new strategy which in the end doesn't work for them, and then thesame strategy will still be repeated in other games. Not just tactics, both player combinations. Why on earth would a coach still keep implementing a strategy that's failed and isn't even bulging to make corrections? He's the manager and the bigger responsibility is on his shoulder. His job is on the line and if he's been unserious about it, then he should be set to embrace a sack. They've got quality players in the team, he should be able to maximize these players.

Juventus got a big winning that helps them to move to round of 16 in Coppa Italia but this also helps them to show off their power to other competitors in the league. The big winning is like an announcement of Juventus to Inter Milan, after their winning against AS Roma in Serie A, that they are actually ready to challenge and beat Inter Milan in the Scudetto race.

In Coppa Italia, I agree that Juventus have good chance to lift the cup even it is not their priority. Juventus in theory are stronger than those clubs in Coppa Italia and if they play with their best performances, they will become a champion there.

Back to Serie A, after this match, Juventus will wait for Inter Milan's slippery performance to take over the first position in coming weeks. Especially, Champions League will return and Inter Milan will have like three to four matches in Serie A without best focus as they will be distracted by two big matches with Atletico Madrid.
Asides the Copa Italia this season, there's no other outside contest Juventus will be a part of. They're aimed at securing the Serie A trophy even if Inter won't make it easy for them. The battle will be intense too and so many game wins are expected from both teams. Tonight, their win is certain in the Copa Italia contest and they'd advance to the finals, although, they'll be rivaled with Roma who are also fierce to bag the trophy.

 So I'd say that this season, Juventus two trophy chances are just slim and with extra effort, the odds are either they take both or take one or take none. Thankfully, they were able to win and advance to the next stage of the Copa Italia yesterday. We anticipate how their next fixture for the contest would turn out. Let's see how the next months would unfold till the season is wrapped up.

Harry Kane performed very well and managed to become Bayern Munich mainstay player by having 21 goals with 5 assists in just 15 matches, he will become the player with the top scorer title and he will be the best player for the Bundesliga.
All of this is thanks to all the Bayern Munich players who have provided excellent support and collaboration with Harry Kane in each of their matches, Harry Kane presence has also had big impact on Bayern Munich achievements during this season.
Tuchel himself as coach also wants to bring Bayern Munich to win the UCL and Bundesliga, but their struggle is not easy because there are many great, strong team that will be competitors and may provide various obstacles for Bayern Munich to get all these titles.

Yes, you are right that Harry Kane has earned the title of top scorer in the Premier League and managed to become one of the best players for the Premier League.
It just that before playing with Bayern Munich, Harry Kane experienced poor conditions with Tottenham.
Joining Bayern Munich brought back career and also name that was quite proud.
Kane's addition to the German side have been fruitful. He's been a major in their positive game outcomes, even though they're striving to get past their competitor on the table. Kane has been impactful and his contract is still open till 2027 with Munich which gives him ample time to do more with the team. He's been consistent in his job as the striker and he's not stopping at just letting goal chances slip by him. He's quality and his ability speedily increases weekly.

 His time at Tottenham was worthwhile and him joining the German side have even more increased his worthiness to be a standing forward. This is a door to greater football awards opportunity. He's young and has got spare time at his disposal too. So far he's been doing explicitly well for Munich which should be appreciated, even if his time with Tottenham had also been great. It's good he switched to Germany as he's gathered additional experience too.

Yeah Leverkusen is a mediocre team, no one expect them can going so far, even though they perform better than Liverpool and Bayern Munich. But the vast majority still believe Bayern Munich will win Bundesliga, just like they won 10 seasons in a row, while Liverpool is playing in Premier League, which more competitive than Bundesliga.

But I believe Leverkusen can win at least one league, I feel they have better chance in Europa League than Bundesliga.
Leverkusen like I usually say are the big surprise of Europe this season. Like this team have a managed to stay unbeaten in over 5 months, that’s a big applaud for them. I think this is already bringing feathers to their hats and if probably they manage to let the title slip away, I think the fans wouldn’t be too disappointed especially if they get to a better stage in the UEL, their inperformance in all competitions this season have been very impressive and it's enough to let the fans hope that theirs hope for a major trophy in future.

Regardless yes, they’ve improved and I think with this improved squad, the club could get finances from the sales of most players by summer. Yes, they’ve got a better chance in the UEL than the League because Bayern are traditional champions but the UEL is one that has to do woth knockout and they’re pretty good at this kind of competition.

These two consecutive defeats or the third in the last five matches is a bad record for Arteta, it looks like they are not playing badly but it is proven that their strikers are not very reliable and in the top four teams they have scored the least goals so that is a note for Arteta if they want to compete again even though it seems their position is increasingly difficult have to buy a striker.

With a very thin point difference between the teams competing for the title, one mistake will really make their chances slim, especially two consecutive defeats.
I think slowly their position will also be shifted by Manchester City before they can finally return to the top four because Aston Villa will probably also experience a decline in the next few matches because the conference league matches will start to change Aston Villa focus.

It would be quite a shame if Arsenal failed again this season, and for some reason the management might make changes because with Arteta Arsenal have made a lot of player purchases in the hope of not only becoming a better team but becoming a team that can win the English Premier League title and to this day it has not materialized so management feels the need to make changes.
Arsenal are doing poorly but should we say not generally because they progress the ball so well but having issues scoring and that can be stat when you check amongst all teams in the top 4. This should be a thing for worry for Mikel if he truly wants to hand to the fans any major trophy.Because without scoring they won’t be going any further rather they could even struggle for 4th place and that’s one thing the fans wouldn’t love for their dear Arsenal.

 Aston Villa is another team that’s been declining and I think Arsenal can use them as an assurance to secure top 4 spot. If Arsenal fail on getting a trophy this season then I think the bell will come for Arteta because he’s been giving huge money to effect signings which he’s done but yet no positive result, even with the quality signings he included to his team.
