The reason why you shouldn't take this so personal is that it's a cup game and the sights already on the bigger prize the champions league game against bayern munich.
And Kylian Mbappe absence means nothing, they're still a complete side without him although clubs are scared when the three striker's are Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. The game against Monaco would be taken seriously it's the league 1 they have to win.

So much looked and tooked into consideration as they ponder over the signature of Harry Kane from Tottenham and also with the owners claiming not to sell Kane to anyof the top premier league rivals but an improve bid might see that happening still.
Martial would have still being a big influence of the attack but his regular injuries are not just what Man United wants to see next season as they hope Kane or Oshime gets accepted.

Getting the squad shaped and back in other is something which I really doubt will happen, like retaining players like firmino and Henderson will not give you positive results no matter how hard you try. If he fails to recognize that it's the more bad results he gets at most from premier league games. Taking such awful form to the champions league makes Real Madrid fans also happy because they feel like the game and battle line has already been drawn.

Cavajal the Spanish player is due for sitting on the bench and making use of younger players to help with the squad, Real Madrid once wanted James of Real Madrid but talks of his dropped immediately he said he's not interested in leaving Chelsea. That spot need replacement and also midfielder's and Benzema. I heard Real Madrid signed a young Brazilian as the replacement for Benzema true?
Some good midfielder's should also arrive else Real Madrid can't fight for the league next season. The earlier they get the job done, tue better for them

That game against Bournemouth might be the shocker of the weekend, periods like this we see this side beating and taking points from top side's. Bournemouth are winning Newcastle at home during the weekend. And last night Sancho was back with a good and new Sancho we do know at Dortmund. He helped with the equalizer to make it draw. And Rashford is in such a good form scoring important goals when needed the quality in midfied was not quality enough for the game against leeds

Manchester United deserves such a great striker as Harry Kane in the team as that is what's currently missing even the current game they are playing. He will so form a good relationship with Rashford on the pitch if he moves to Manchester United.
Victor Oshimes team has declined any news about the sell of Victor Oshime to any of the top clubs with Paris Saint league, Chelsea and Man United all fighting for the signature of the Napoli star

Comeback into the game to win is still possible for Manchester United, but the errors to the goal shouldn't have happened if they had swith the ball quicker. The middle is open since no casemiro in the game. you're not watching the game your just judging from your mindset.
Man United had some chances but they have been missed by garnacho, he has the best chance to equalize the game but it was blocked off by Leeds defender. The player from Besiktas is not playing anything and he is like a ghost while the game is ongoing. Poor half for Man United

The absence of Dembele would be replaced by Raphina while the loss of Busquet would be replaced by Kessie who was part of the last game at home for Barcelona against Sevilla.
The red card to Casemiro will not affect him being present in the game and not also during the EFL Cup. Ever since he touch down and signed for Man United he has being one of the best player's and having him absence will be obvious in the squad.
Both Gavi and Pedri are young brilliant players representing the club very well. It looks like Barcelona will win because United gets it difficult to win Some clubs in Spain last year

James Madison should think about moving to Manchester City rather than Newcastle United, he is still a young talented player that needs to work with a good coach and pep is the one that fits him very well.
Newcastle are doing thie right plays this season, winning games and defending very well, they have to qualify for the champions league.
They signed some good players younger that will go along with the long plans for the club ans that is great.

They have to fix and clear the available debts they have outside of the club and also within the club especially among the player's in the squad.
They made late moves for player's but that didn't go through as they planned, the move for the morroco player who did excellent at the world cup Amrabat was approached but the club said no even if the player insisted for the move. Ikay Gundogan will be a player that will likely switch to Barcelona next year.

I agree with your prediction. They are both highly motivated teams that like to score. Teams in the Bundesliga generally like to score goals, so both teams to score is a pretty good and safe bet.
I think that game will not end in a draw. For unknown reasons I believe there would be a winner, so if you want to take a little risk you can also go with a 'home or away" bet. I don't know how the odds are exactly cause I haven't checked but I know it won't be much.
Games like this are very tricky, I means games between top table teams. If I am to pick a winner I'll bet on Leipzig. Yea, Union Berlin are In a better position but I think Leipzig would get the better of them in that fixture.  A

It a normal thong for a team to drop points, so its no different from Arsenal. People are worried about Arsenal because we've seen them lose form at the most crucial moment of the league so many times before. I don't thin this season would be like that for them. They are highly motivated and a single loss wont change that. I guess what happened in that game is that they were unlucky to play Everton when they just got a new manager. The Man City also favors Arsenal. If Man City had won it would have placed a lot of pressure on Arsenal.

I can't even understand the drop in form on Milan. It just happened so fast and at ones. One minute they were doing well and the next minutes they just started dropping points. What went wrong? They were firmly in the UCL spot now they have to struggle to make it and at this rate they won't even see the Europa sport unless they sit up.

Inter are in a good form right now and if they continue, they will capitalize on Andy slip up by Napoli. If they had had this form from the beginning of the season they would have been were Napoli is or closer than this. There are still a lot of games to play so let's see how it goes.

Yea they're both struggling at the moment which is not a good thing for either team because they'll be facing each other soon. As much as I do not like to use league form to determine Champions league, PSG are not looking like a team that can beat Bayern Munich right now. With Mbappe and Neymer injured, that leaves only Lionel Messi among the 3 upfront. PSG have not really had a pattern of play and they don't really play as a team. Before the world cup my bet was on PSG to win but right now now the odds are changing.

Man City is also a side to be reckoned with in the competition. They always mess up at this stage of the competition but this season might be different. There's no team they're not capable of winning on their day so you can't also write them off.

If you really believe that is how the game will go then I guess you haven't been watching this Barcelona. Barcelona have conceded just 4 goals from counter attack this season and have conceded 7 goals in the league. The last goal they conceded came against Betis and it was an own goal. The defense is the best and most inform part of Barcelona this season. Injuries made them concede that much against Bayern.
The game against United is going to be very tactical and if United want to depend on counter then they'll lose.

When Arsenal lost against Everton I had the feeling Man City won't be able to capitalize on that and win Spurs but I just wrote the feeling off. I've always said it that it's going to be a strong battle for Arsenal if they are to win the league. We are at the point in the league where they can't afford to drop anymore point, unless Man City starts dropping point which might not happen.
People think Arsenal's loss to Everton is the beginning of their doom but I highly doubt that. Nobody was expecting them to win every game, they'll definitely drop point and they have. It's also highly unlikely that they'll not drop points again till the end of the season but let's see how it goes.

The match between Barcelona and Seville ended with Barcelona winning 3-0, just like it was in the first leg. In the first half of today's match Barcelona were not clinical enough. They dominated, they had all the chances and left Seville chasing shadows but they could not score. In the second half they were better. Raphinha received some scolding from his coach Xavi and he learned. He was involved in all 3 gaals. He created the chance for Kessi to give the ball to Alba for the first goal, he assisted the second and scored the third.
I believe he has a lot of this kind of performance in him and he still has more to offer if he works hard.

This win places Barcelona 8 points ahead of Real Madrid. It's looking more and more likely that's Barcelona will win the La Liga this season. They are working really hard for it. They are also working so hard to concede less goals as possible.

Aubameyang is the only natural striker Chelsea has now. Havertz is not a striker and so is Felix. I have been saying it since that they need a natural and top class striker that can score goals because that is one of the major things the team needs right now.
I have not watched Fofana and I don't know how good he really is but i agree with you when you say he needs experience. He is a young player that has only played for Molde. Nkunku too is not a natural top striker. He is a player that can play on all three positions upfront so we still dont know how that will turn out.
Chelsea better go all out for a world class striker in the summer if they are a serious club. Harry Kane is a good profile for the kind of player I'm talking about.

Madrid have been kind of struggling lately and i believe most of the team struggle is as a result of Benzema struggling and Vininuis not doing really well in front of goal. Madrid are without a lot of important first eleven players like Benzema, Mendy and Militoa. Courtois is also rested same as Modric and Kroos. It is going to be a difficult game for Madrid when you also consider the fact that they are away and the support of the Benabue fans would be really missed.

Even if Mallorca were to score another goal its still not game over for Real Madrid. We've seen them win games where they were 2 goals down in the 80th minutes. Barcelona would be desperately praying for the game to end this way because they would be the biggest winners from a Madrid loss.

In as much as I admire what Lens is doing, I doubt they can keep it up after this season. We saw it with Lille and Monaco. For you to remain at that level as a top team you need to sign top players and Lens don't have the facilities for that.
Even this season, despites PSG's poor form they cant still climb top of the table because they lack a lot of things that the big teams have and that is the reason I admire them a lot. For them to be where they are with the kind of resources they have is something to be applauded.
