Milan currently has players with injuries and also unable to play for other reasons, when they are complete they can be very dangerous so that they manage to win games, also the big teams have a chance to hire good players when the market opens again, I will give an example of juventus who are currently a shit team, but if they send the coach away and manage to put a good coach and buy good players when the market opens then juventus could still be champion, in the case of inter, for example, only this is them lacking to hire a good player for the attack, they could manage to be in the Top and be champions. in short: the big teams still have a lot of chances to be champions
Struggling with injuries at this stage of the league is not so good. At this stage of the league it is important to get as much points possible. With a complete squad Milan will play much better and win games easily. This is just how important and efficient having quality squad is, it gives you other options when you suffer injuries like this but I believe soon they will get back to good form again when the injured players start getting back to fitness. |

According to some news, Leicester board are thinking of giving one last chance to Brendan Rodgers. That chance is their next league game against Nottingham home.
I don't know if their current condition is really Rodgers' fault. Because most people are already aware of the source of their main problem now. It is about their defense. They don't have a reliable defense line now and this causes them to concede so many goals in most of their games. The huge loss against Tottenham has made things even worse for them mentally. I don't know how good their financial status is now. But if they have enough money to bring some defenders in January then I think Rodgers should be given time until then. If he makes good transfers and it affects the team performance positively then there would be no need for bringing a new manager. It is also a process in the end as the players will need time to adapt to the system of that new manager.
I really can't tell whether Leicester City poor form is because of inefficiency of Rodger's strategies and tactics because this was same tactics that he used that won the league for Leicester City in 2016, I think the possible problem could be the incapability of the players available. The club has been selling the talented players and failing to recruit new players to improve the squad which has been detrimental to the team. |

Lewandowski was one of the best in the league and in his time, this days we barely have strikers who still get 30 plus goals at the end of the season and his departure clearly has had some effect on the team. Bayern Munich is currently lacking a lethal striker who can secure many goals for the team, some who scores goals for fun and can take the centre stage and lead the attack.

Bayern will certainly pick form,but we can also assume that the absence of Lewandowski is now having effect on their team,because Lewandowski was so instrumental to the success of Bayern that they will continue to miss him at his absent.He was replaced by Mane whose impact is also now felt by Liverpool.I still think the league has not gotten anywhere yet for us to conclude that Bayern will not meet up this season,things can just change and they will start winning matches again and they will win the tittle again.
Robert Lewandowski shouldn't be an important problem for Bayern Munich, because they've got high scores without relying on Robert Lewandowski, so with Mane they should be able to adapt to new players and try to work as a team well to be able to shoot on goal and score. goals, in fact the game of football is not dominated by only one person but requires excellent teamwork. I don't think the absence of Robert Lewandowski is the cause why Bayern Munich are not performing well, that's not true. After Lewandowski left when the league began Bayern Munich performance were outstanding for sometime and they were able to score good amount of goals in every match. Mane started well with Bayern Munich, his performance was impressive, he didn't struggle in any match. If Mane was not good enough for Bayern Munich we would have noticed that from the beginning when the league started. The challenge Bayern Munich are facing can't be solved by one player, it needs to be solve by all players in the team . Robert Lewandowski's departure has created a gap in the team which Sadio Mane has not being able to fill. I also have faith in Sadio Mane and strongly believe he can be a star at Bayern Munich even if not totally filling that space for Lewandowski, Mane can still strengthen the attack from the wings which has been his favored position for years and he can play very play from that position, he just needs time to settle in. |
|
|
|
At the start of the competition, Sadio Mane really managed to captivate the day of the Die Bayern fans. he can adapt quickly at the beginning of the season, but as the competition progresses. Sadio Mane, has difficulty adapting to the many changes in strategy and rotations made by Nagels. as a result in the last few matches, Mane did not contribute to scoring goals.
no doubt Nagel often uses Mane as a Finisher to replace Lewandowski's role, but it seems that Mane does not fit the position that Nagels wants. so Nagel had to rack his brain to change his strategy when playing his matches.
As a result, Bayern can't play at their best.
I can't say Sadio Mane is a flop now, but he still hasn't found the game he's used to playing like at Liverpool. Bayern Munich still haven't found the chemistry between their new signings. I think he still needs time for that, to get the best out of him. Even though it takes time, I'm sure Mane can show something that is his strength. The league has only started a few weeks, it's not as expected but we have to be a little patient to see Mane. Sadio Mane is not a flop, Bayern Munich might not be performing on a high level but you cannot blame one player for it or point Mane out for not performing well, it is a team effort and I'm sure at his own level he is performing and contributing to win games. Bayern Munich need a striker someone to play from the middle of the attack, someone who can run into spaces and score goals. |

Barcelona are undoubtedly in good form right now. Although they lost against Bayern Munich, they still played well. They missed many opportunities. After Xavi came to Barca as a coach, the Barcelona team completely changed. Hopefully Xavi will have a long time with Barcelona and do well.
Barcelona are on track for real form again now, as Xavi never tire of continuing to make Barcelona better and able to compete with other great teams this season. Both in the Champions League and in Laliga, but what needs to be seen and remembered is that other teams have also experienced not bad developments this season so that Barcelona's strength, which has finally improved, seems not to be so visible against big teams like Bayern Munich. I think Xavi's focus is not on the Champions League. Barca is very good at the moment in La Liga. there will be 2 matches in La Liga that will be done by Barca before meeting Madrid. however, the meeting of these two teams will be a match that draws a lot of attention. I think Mallorca and Celta will be quite important opponents to build the confidence of Barca players before facing Madrid. this season Barca does not want to lose the La Liga trophy. I think it is a good idea for Xavi to focus on the league in this first season as the manager and work on building the team asI don't think Barcelona is ready for the champions league competition. It is much easier competing in the league than in the champions league, Xavi should focus on the league that way the players will build better chemistry and get one understanding this season. |

Thomas Tuchel is reportedly on the shortlist to replace Julien Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich! He was sacked recklessly by Chelsea's management team. Big clubs, however, are always looking for good managers with a record. Bayern's management highly rates the former Chelsea manager. With his German roots, he might be better suited to Bayern München. Respect and better treatment are due to you. Is it helpful to change managers in the middle of the season?
I am not in support of Thomas Tuchel's move to replace Julien Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich. Tuchel have been sacked in two teams for almost same reason, lack of communication with the players and always whinning and complaining about the team and players after every disappointing game. I don't think Bayern Munich are ready to part ways with Nagelsmann yet, they still want to give him time to improve. |

If both play as well as they are now, yes. Haaland top of his game, Messi in some magical moment (hell, even Neymar is already up to half his regular season quota).

Interesting, Many people guessed PSG deserved to be in the UCL final in the next few seasons. But they always fail, the best achievement seems to be they reached the Final in 19/20 after winning in the semifinals against Leipzig. But in the Final they had to lose 1-0 against Bayern Munich. Whereas last season they only reached the round of 16 because they lost to Madrid. There are always surprises for UCL, it's hard to decide the final is PSG vs Man City from now on. Maybe when you enter the knockout phase it will be easier. In the past two seasons, PSG have been predicted as top favourites to win the champions league but they always fail. They always go far in the competition but when it comes to the final stages to fight and try to clinge the title they always fall off on the way probably because they lack that winning mentality to fight for trophies, it's a new season and another opportunity to try again,lets see how well they will perform this season. |

One problem I found with Arsenal is their inability to play big teams and win. They can be able to get 100% record against average teams but when it comes to big teams, they may not be able to get out with just a point.
Unlike Tottenham who knows how to play big teams, by playing a counter attack and surprisingly they could lose against small teams. That left me think between Arsenal and Tottenham who will be more successful this season.
I prefer to win against small and average teams and losing to big teams than losing to small teams and winning game, how many small teams are there in the league and how many big teams in the league and calculate how many points to be achieved from winning small teams and losing to big teams. You get to gain more points than losing small games and winning big games. |

James Musiala is one of the best talents in the world today and at his age and playing for Bayern Munich also one of the best clubs in Europe has created that atmosphere to improve and play good football. His skills and playing style is really amazing which has become a major boost in his market Value. 80 million Euros is a huge sum for a player at his age and I can't say he is not worth the hype.

Manchester United preparations I'm confident for the winter transfer market. it will open in January next year. It has been reported that Manchester United is one of the clubs that will be very aggressive in the transfer market next year.
Well, i don't think Manchester United will be big spenders in the 2023 January transfer market, it is very difficult (not impossible) to sign players of top quality in that time of the year, and not only that, Manchester United have spent a lot of money this summer already, i am not so sure if they will be open to spending big again, just few months after. The acquisition of Antony, Casemiro and Martinez cost the club a lot of money, so they will prolly be reluctant to spend big again. Manchester United haven't been lucky with lifting trophies in the past season despite their gigantic spending in transfer window. The board and fans are much contended with the players they have signed this summer, I'm not saying that they wouldn't sign when the January transfer marking open, but opening bids amount will reduce as they wil only go for few players. Erik ten hag really did a good job by landing some of his priority players this season and he's doing well for the team. Manchester United have won their key games, like Liverpool and Arsenal. Winning trophies and winning games isn't just about luck, even when you are lucky you still need a good performance to push that luck to yield good results, Manchester United have been very poor throughout last season we all witnessed the poor form until Erik Ten Hag came in and it looks like things are finally turning around for better so we shall see if they can maintain this form and push their luck this time. |

Except the unfortunate point loss against Vallecano, Barcelona are no different than Real Madrid in terms of strength these days. They are even better in defense compared to Real Madrid as they have conceded only one goal in total. Comparing this Barcelona to Koeman's, there is a huge difference. Thanks to Xavi Barcelona are coming back to their old days. The competition for the title will be really hard of course but finally I can say that Barcelona also have a huge chance for the title.
It is of course only the first weeks of the season but it's not difficult to see some key points at both of Barcelona and Real Madrid already now. After a point these two teams would have a big gap with the others by pulling away from them.
There is a difference between this Barcelona and Koeman's Barcelona, there is so much difference between the two. Xavi has really improved this squad with many talented players this time. In the time of Koeman, Barcelona looked like an average league team, nobody feared them last season but Xavi has been able to transform the team to some sort of standard to compete with Real Madrid in the league. |

The premier league will be on break this weekend because of the international friendly games and after the break we are going to witness some really tough games between rivals I can't wait to see, Arsenal are taking on Tottenham and Manchester United going against Manchester City. So much tensity already even before the game because this will be a test of consistency in both games to see how well all four teams have improved and are ready to take on the rest of the season.

I don't think Ronaldo will be staying after this season in Manchester United, it is time United start searching for a suitable replacement.
Ronaldo is not a problem to Manchester United, they don't really depend on him, so if he likes he stays or leave Manchester United won't be affected. Manchester United are doing well in performance presently not even because of Ronaldo's. Ronaldo has only score 1 goal for Manchester United in the Europa League and has not score any goal in the premier league this season. Manchester United has other good stars who are contributing alot for the club to come out best this season. Ronaldo surely was not the problem at Manchester united and is not the problem, we shouldn’t point fingers at him as the cause of the overall failure of the club. The problem of the team was generally lack of team work, togetherness, good tactics and presence of average performing players who were not even ready to play. I can’t forget that Ronaldo was the one that put Manchester United on sixth position last season helping them qualify to play European football this season. |

Bayern Munich's need of a striker is getting bigger by every week. Some people believed that they would still do a good job with Mane there but they couldn't do this so far obviously. Because Mane isn't mainly a striker in the end. Rather than playing like that, we need to see him on the wing more. He should be allowed to play similar to his role at Liverpool. They need to solve the striker problem until the end of the winter transfer window. If they don't bring anyone in the middle of the season then the remaining time period also would be very tough for them.
I know that it is really hard to find and convince a striker who can contribute as much as Lewandowski in the middle of the season. But if they want to be successful this season the only way seems like dealing with this quickly.
I'm surprised to hear Bayern are seriously in need of a striker, when Lewandowski was leaving the club, Sadio Mane was signed to be his replacement. I thought Mane was meant to fill in the top striker position but it now seems the coach prefers playing Sadio Mane in his actual position that is playing from the left wing. The window is already closed now, Bayern will have to wait until January to go for a new striker and will have to make use of available players until then. |

The speculation about Allegri being sacked continues to grow and the rumors are that Zidane is a prime candidate if that happens. in recent years, Juventus did not get any trophy and this shows that juve's performance continues to decline, changing coaches could be the best option for juve so that their performance and strategy can be updated.
From several sources said Allegri can still survive because the Juventus management still has full hope for Allegri to be able to correct his mistakes and hope he can recover players quickly and can get a win with the strategy that Allegri must prepare. It is likely that they will recover in the coming season because for this season Juventus points are already very far behind and it is impossible to catch up. The problem is that when he is forced to stay it is clear it will also upset the harmony with the fans especially when the pressure is getting bigger now for Allegri to be sacked. Right now if he really wanted to survive then he couldn't help but rack his brains more because the chair he was currently sitting in was very unsafe. The slightest mistake will obviously trigger a bigger reaction from the fans. I won't blame Juventus if they contemplate to sack Allegri because of his team's previous loss to Monza. They have not been able to win any of their last five games both at champions league level and in their league, losing three and drawing two so I'm not surprised that the board is thinking to relieve him of his duties. At present, they sit at the 8th spot, and if a solution is not gotten, they could well be on their way to relegation zone and possibly be kicked out of the champions league. I do not like the current form of Juventus, they have good players. I don't seem to understand what is wrong, why their form have dropped and the poor performance. Probably Allegri isn't so good after all, probably he doesn't really understand the players and how to use them to their best potential. Not being able to win a game in their last 5 games is really poor. |

The signing of Robert Lewandoski brought good changes to the Barcelona team because with him so far the performance of Barcelona has improved better than last season that they were struggling to win matches, Barcelona made a good number of changes but Real Madrid team has been good shape since last season even till date. I am happy that in the end people are starting to think that Barcelona have managed to improve the quality of their team well so far. Together with Xavi Barcelona has played a role as one of the strong teams both in defense and attack. They have some talented players like Pedri, Gavi, Balde, Ansu Fati and Xavi very willing to give enough time to these players. This season, the arrivals of Raphinha and Lewandowski have saved enough time playing Ferran Torres, Depay and Ansu Fati as strikers. Xavi prefers to experiment by pairing Raphinha, Lewandowski and Dembele as strikers. It has produced good results for the team and Barcelona's attacking performances, but unfortunately Raphinha and Dembele have not had many goalscoring records as wingers. It is true that Barcelona have managed to strengthen their squad this season, they have very talented and very experienced players in the squad now so it is expected that the team will play better and compete for all titles this season. The addition of Dembele, Raphinah and Lewandowski have improved the squad, boosting the attacking options and have transformed the team to a better goal scoring team. |

Unlucky? Seriously?
How can being unlucky could be beaten 3-1? Football is not only about ball possession that they have but also the effectiveness. From their match, it can be seen that Man United played more effectively and accurately moreover on the shots on target. Arsenal often missed the chances to create goals although they had many chances. Lost is lost, let's see if Arsenal faces other big clubs again to see their exact performance.
Well, Chelsea vs Liverpool is still postponed. I am pretty curious about how their performance. As we know that these are two big clubs, but they made so many jokes about the match results during this match. Their position is also depending on the result of this match, whether they can maintain their position or being taken over.
Yes I’ll say Arsenal were a bit unlucky. Firstly before the Manchester United game, two of their first team defensive midfielders were ruled out of the match. I knew there was going to be a problem because their defensive midfielder (Partey) is instrumental to how Arsenal play, especially in the games they’ve played so far. Going forward into the game, we could tell that his absence was missed. Whenever Partey is in the team, there is just this level of calmness and confidence in that midfield and team overall. It's either they find a way to keep him fit for the course of the season or get someone who can do what he does at a great level. When I read Thomas Partey was injured I wasn't so worried because I knew Zinchenko could also play in Partey's position until I also heard Zinchenko was injured also, at that point I knew there e as a problem, losing both players at once before a big game is a big blow to the morale of any team but the team played very well, showed good character but was unlucky to lose all three points to United. |

New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been compared by midfielder Bruno Fernandes to Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp because of the way he instilled discipline and a certain mentality at Old Trafford.
Manchester United appointed him as permanent manager in May. However, the Dutchman's tenure as United manager started badly when he lost his first two games.
But since then, the results have improved, and United have won four Premier League games in a row to move up to the top five of the table.
I cannot support this statement because Pep is an outstanding manager, he is not just outstanding because he coaches or have coached a number of big clubs but I say he is outstanding because of how much he has achieved is this time coaching these clubs. He currently holds 5 Premier trophies, 4 of which he has won in a space of 5 years. We don't often see this type of record in the premier league, his sight for good players makes him even so outstanding. |

First of all Maguire is a horrible player and should not be played, there isn't a situation where he is the best defender they have, he could be removed and they would have a great team, Varane and that other defender I forgot his name the short one, those two would be good enough, if you put them and then Ronaldo it should work. They have casemiro to play at midfield as well, so that team should be fine enough.
Thankfully Erik ten Hag doesn't prefer Maguire in the starting eleven of important games anymore. He started to choose him in only Europa League games lately. He isn't a reliable defender for any big team at the moment. I think that he might be sold after the end of the season also if they find a better replacement for him. He shouldn't be even the last resort for Manchester United I mean.  If Ronaldo also leaves the team at the end of the season then Manchester United should go for a good striker transfer. They can't continue with only Rashford. Antony has been brought here but he isn't a striker. Some people think that he is here to replace Ronaldo so that's why I wanted to say that. However Ronaldo might decide to stay if Manchester United make it to the Champions League this time. Manchester united fans would be delighted to see Erik Ten Hag finally solving the problem of having Harry Maguire starting every game for Manchester United knowing fully well how bad his performances have been since last season. A number of times the fans have called for the benching of Harry Maguire but their plea have not been attended it will please the fans to finally get their plee attended to. The teams is playing well now since Maguire started sitting on the bench. I don't think Ronaldo will be staying after this season in Manchester United, it is time United start searching for a suitable replacement. |
