Real Madrid more coordinated than the both mentioned Manchester United and Chelsea, you don't need make comparisons. They have to level up. Real Madrid even with the absence of important players have still found means to win the games they played. They just need to pay close attention to defending.

Chelsea would need a good striker, Victor Oshime and Ivan Toney has been linked. Doubt it'll be Ivan Toney because of his age. Victor Oshime I would think before the news of contract extension came up. I'm confused about his move now. I've always wanted to see him play for Chelsea he deserves it. He is the perfect player to replace Didier Drogba. They have a good squad, I'm not just sure Pochetino is the man for the job.

Manchester United? Lol! Man! I don't have the energy to talk about the club no more. They should do everything to make sure tue glazers leave. Without that, no redemption.
Real Madrid never failed to bring new manager into their team, that's make Real Madrid never lose their legacy.

Chelsea, they need to work in many thing, not only about the striker. But at least they've show there's a good progress compared to their performance when Potter was still become Chelsea's manager.

Manchester United, after Sir Alex Ferguson left the team, Manchester United turns like Tottenham, a cursed team.

Last season for Manchester United, I was amongst those that had hope over a positive result and change with the club. I felt like the glazers was going to sell the club to the Saudi's who offered a better bid than Jim Radcliffe. The Saudi's was also ready to pay off the debts. But everything changed and went sideways.

They have a good squad already, some of them Injured players are already returning to boost up the club. The Captaincy also need to be with a player that speaks up and motivate the lads.
Chelsea would be with Nkuku today, they will sure play a very good game this weekend at home.

Quote from: Balmain
We can say that Tottenham has achieved great stability after the troubles they experienced in the interim. They maintain their place in the top five. If they continue with such a good game plan, they can step into the top four and stay there. Many players in the team are in very good form and doing good work. Kulusevski was the best player in the Nottingham Forest match, that magnificent goal he scored was very good, he faced the goalkeeper and finished very confidently. The absence of Maddison and Richarlison affected the team greatly. If these problems did not exist, we would have seen Totthenem much higher, and as I said, they still have opportunities.

Congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur for the favour they got from Nottingham forest home, despite the red card one of the Tottenham Hotspur player got they still maintain the match till the end to defeated Nottingham forest 0-2 for the favour of Tottenham Hotspur. It was a surprised to some people that Nottingham forest strikers didn't scored a single goal through out the match despite there was many opportunities for them to score goals but they missed used the opportunity that made them to lose their three points from the match. If Tottenham Hotspur will be able to win their next match, then we will know that they have come back to their excellent performance they started from the beginning of the competition before their players started experienced injuries that brought their points down.
Tottenham performed brilliantly in the game, which saw them secure a win with Forest. Currently, fifth in the Premier League points table, Tottenham has the potential to overtake Manchester City if they can succeed in their next matches. Also, Forest didn't attack that well which is why Forest couldn't equalize the match, however Tottenham are a strong team, and they attacked well which led to victory. Forest had many chances to score going into the 70th minute when a Tottenham player received a red card, but they still couldn't score. With ten men on the field, Tottenham played brilliantly against Forest and eventually secured their place in the points table with a win.

Not really correct, because they did attack in that game, they scored a goal that wad also cancelled. Yes that was the right call for that was a clear offside trap set by Tottenham Hotspur. Elanga the former Manchester United player fell for it.
They played well, having Romero, Vicario, Pedro Porro and Udogie Destiny behind is a good thing to watch. I loved everything about the way they fought to keep that defense in close control.

Like I said last night, ain't it time enough to see them sacking them coach?

I had a good look at Crystal Palace and I was madt! What's the difference between Patrice Vierra and Roy Hodgson for Crystal Palace this season? No difference seen if you as me, so why's that old man still handling that job? They'll be embarrassed today by Manchester City.
We'll see.

The challenging thing for Inzaghi in this season is about their player Cuadrado.
Inter Milan will need to hire a right-back during the winter because their player Cuadrado is injured and he needs to have surgery soon which means he won't be able to play for a long time and this can be challenging for Inter Milan and their coach Inzaghi to find a replacement for Cuadrado.
Cuadrado joined Inter Milan for from from Juventus and now Inter Milan should spend money to hire another right back for the rest of this season.



The board has come to agreement over signing a player to fill up the role for Juan Cuadrado. He's such a great player who adds both to them defense and attackers at the same time. They want same energy. If they're to win the league then they must do everything possible to do that. Tomorrow, I don't see them winning the game against Lazio, they will share the points this might be due to the absence of Juan Cuadrado and fatigue of them squad.

Napoli should win today at home, why lose for the third time in the Seria A? They would not want that. Losing Empoli, Juventus and now Cagliari? That's not happening. I don't know if Victor Oshime will be on the list of players that will score he did well to score in thr Champions League clash against Braga to help his side round up the knockouts.

Props to Juventus, at least the draw is more important than lose. Securing a place in the league standing is what's mandatory.

I keep wondering which players Chelsea and Manchester United will sign when the market opens, these two teams have been the center of attention in the market when it opens, this is because these two teams make meaningless signings, so I keep asking myself what they will do when the market opens. I saw in an interview that the Real Madrid coach gave, he clearly said that Real Madrid will not sign anyone in this transfer window, and it makes sense. This is because real madrid has a good squad, but has problems in attack and they will choose to wait for mbapp to be free before signing him, this would mean that real madrid would have to wait for this season to end before signing mbappe. seems like a good choice

Chelsea's coach said in an interview that Chelsea needed to sign more players, I'm wondering who Chelsea's target will be and if there will be many players wanting to play for Chelsea at the current level Chelsea are currently at. So far I have not seen any rumors that have any chance of being true about any player that Chelsea is interested in signing, probably in the next few weeks we will start listening to the rumors, this month because it is a month of parties and because the teams want to avoid that leaks information about new signings because it would increase the price and competition, the teams are silent

Real Madrid more coordinated than the both mentioned Manchester United and Chelsea, you don't need make comparisons. They have to level up.

I definitely don't believe ETH is a bad manager. Both what he achieved at ajax and what he achieved last year, making manchester 3rd, winning the league cup, playing in the final of the fa cup and losing 2-1 to city in a close game, eliminating barcelona in the uefa and losing to sevilla who would have won the cup, etc. show that he is a good manager. But this year he is doing incomprehensible things. For example, when they made the transfer of Höjlund, it was very irrational. It is still very irrational. There are those who make haaland comparisons, but he is a young version of weghorst. He is 2 years younger than haaland. 2 years ago haaland was in the bundesliga and the champions league playing amazing. This guy has no goals in 12 games and I don't think he'll score 10 goals at the end of the season. Let's say he doesn't score goals, he contributes something to the game, but he doesn't. In fact I think he spoils the team's game. That is an example of what was wrong with ETH and that's why they performed horribly in the CL and conceded 15 goals.

Nah! He remains a good manager he's just being unlucky with Injuries and some of the players available cannot help project his tactics.
What he achieved for the club last season is evident enough, you can't just right him off. I can recall the game against Barcelona very well, he read game very well and made good substitution ( bringing Fred in the guide the midfied ) Anthony was able to give Manchester United the winner. He got this issues when Lisandro Martinez got Injured against Sevilla. Building from back has worked for him in a way. Having no Lisandro Martinez behind makes that difficult for him.

Rasmus Hojlund ain't no bad player, have you asked yourself how many chances they've created for him? Just same way City does for Erling Haaland. I hate comparisons but Manchester United should do better with creating chances for the striker. ( I have personal issues with Rashford for not always passing the ball for Rasmus )

Now your idea of Wout Weghorst is wrong, he didn't score so much goals for United agreed, but he had a very high rating when it comes to work rate. They say he's lazy, but he's not too lazy to track down balls for Manchester United just like Rashford did against Newcastle.
1986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 16, 2023, 07:47:23 AM
Regarding the news that Ten Hag will be fired from Manchester United, it doesn't seem to make him feel anxious and at the press conference held, Ten Hag stated that he was not worried about the dismissal he might receive after the match against Liverpool if Manchester United loses.
And of course everyone knows that Manchester United has no chance of winning that match because it is certain that Bruno Fernandes who is also the captain, will be absent due to suspension.
In addition, Harry Maguire who suffered hamstring injury was also absent from the match, while Luke Shaw also suffered hamstring injury.
Even though Harry Maguire is not defender who can really contribute very well, at least the absence of these three players could put more pressure on Ten Hag to be able to perform optimally in the match against Liverpool later.
However, there are several rumors stating that there is still hope that Maguire and Shaw can appear in the match against Liverpool.
But this is still just rumor and there is no definite clarity regarding the progress of these two players, whether they can still play or have to undergo recovery.

Ten Hag will really use his intelligence to make Manchester United perform well if the two players who were injured after the match against Bayern Munich were unable to appear against Liverpool.
It shame because apart from losing, they also suffer from or players suffer injuries.

I don't know if Lisandro Martinez would be fit enough to return for this intensed game tommorow, maybe not it would be Rapheal Varane and Luke Shaw. Don't also expect too much from Manchester United and the players. The mentality of the players all reduced right now. Liverpool players also have been tested ahead of this game. What I'm certain if is that they won't beat Manchester United with anything more three goals to nil.

Erik Ten Hag hasn't gotten his tactics right in a couple few games, I would love to see if he can continue his away form again against Liverpool. I don't really like how the defenders shaped against Bayern Munich.

Tottenham started the game week by a decent win over Nottingham by 2-0. This time Ange Postecoglou put Son on the left wing and preferred Richarlison in the centre-forward position. Both of these players showed good performances after that. However Kulusevski was definitely the man of the match as he scored a goal and made an assist.  Smiley

Now Tottenham are on a winning streak of two games. They really need to keep this streak as long as possible to recover. They need that not to fall too behind the teams at top as well otherwise they might have bigger problems on even finishing the season in top 4.

The big man from Sweden wasn't nowhere to be found when he was right behind Richardlison, that formation did not work honestly. The Injury made his change plans and brought him to his main role for the club. He was free and was allowed to roam freely on his own. With that, he was able to locate Richardlison who was also located in the right spot to receive the ball with the ball with jishead Into the back of the net.

With so much high pressing from Tottenham Hotspur, same man who linked the Brazilian to score was able to track that ball from the poor efforts of the goalkeeper who was trying to clear of that ball. It was powerful shot or should I say poor goalkeeping from Forest goalkeeper. Gald they could hold down forest tonight. The host attacked well in the first half until that goal came in.

Arsenal fans be supporting Manchester United so they could go top of the league. Lol! I'd love that, Liverpool are one of them strongest rivals against Manchester United from way back! ( Liverpool and Leeds United )

Juventus opened the week by an away game against Genoa however it wasn't a positive opening for Juventus at the same time.  Sad  They couldn't use their influence much here interestingly. Genoa were able to play at the same level with them. I mean their xG wasn't much different than Juventus and the number of goal attempts was also the same.

Juventus are one of the best defense teams this season and I thought they would keep their advantage when they got ahead first here as well. However Genoa's effort deserved to be appreciated really. This is a really good opportunity for Inter to open the gap with Juventus more in the standings but first they had better manage to beat Lazio away.

Genoa at home have always troubled Juventus whenever they have met in the last five fixtures now tonight was no different from what the other games resulted.
The defenders have done them part making sure they don't concede more than the only goal scored by Genoa. Maybe the attackers did well to score but didn't get a good outcome. Learnt they should have been awarded penalties which they didn't.

Predictions tommorow would still be for Inter Milan to share those points with Lazio even of they lost to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League group stages. At the end of the season, Juventus failure to sign a player who's attacking minded would make them lose out on winning the Scudetto Competition this season.

Now speaking of Barcelona it looks like they will still try to find some free players but on the other hand there are some rumors that say that there are linking Osimhen with Barcelona even though I don't think this is true because this will not be possible.
Has much as Napoli f@%#& up with that tiktok video mocking their talisman,  I don't think his going any where as at now!

If any thing, rumor has it that Osimhens new contract is coming up which could make him the highest paid player should he play his cards right , and I see this as damage control for what transpired and if money doesn't talk then this lad will be a tough nut crack and will leave...

Btw,  why is it that Barcelona is usually in the news of being linked with all these big names when they know too well not to attract attention after losing  one of the biggest names in football 🤔

Why the news of Barcelona chasing Victor Oshime when they've been known to be currently bankrupt. Do they have enough funds to get the Nigerian international? Barcelona already signed a youngin and he'll join the club soon enough training for the next half of the season ( 2024 ). What's the need signing a player that would be out joining the African Cup of Nations soon? They need those goals coming in immediately.

If Victor Oshime would be singing a long term contract then he won't be leaving for Chelsea or Barcelona. They want to make good fortune when they finally decide to sell him.

If Victor Oshime did that trolling of the club on his tick tock handle, I wonder what would have happened to him by now. Maybe contract termination must have already commenced.

I think the problem isn’t ETH but the players especially some lazy set of players who feel they’re too big for some of his routines during training and who doesn’t know the real meaning of playing for the Manchester United badge. Yes, he might be kind of strict but they should know it’s for a cause, to get trophies. And the board too who got most of these lazy players in wouldn’t want to go against them due to some benefits.

 So I think the main issue is the Takeover; when finally completed, I feel effective change will spark up in this Manchester United team under the same ETH, and I hope Sir Jim would do a total clean up in the footballing sector of the club and help them get better, especially selling those deadwoods that's got nothing to offer them anymore, cause they're the bad eggs that are hindering the clubs progress too, Martial for example.

I go madt and get paranoid whenever I read about the fans or anyone complaining about how strict Erik Ten Hag has been with the players. Ain't that what a manager is suppose to do?
Do you also recall when they said Ole Gunner Solskjaer was too soft on the boys? That he gives them too much freedom? To be very honest here, I no longer know what the fans and the players want for the club. Whoever doesn't meet up with the standards set by Erik Ten Hag should be sent parking. What the actual Fvck is wrong with Manchester United? The whole club is in a state of confusion from head to low.

Jim Radcliffe pushing to sign Graham Potter if he takes over sent me crazy. That's a failed Manager for Manchester United? He reminds me of David Moyes at Manchester United. I smirk on that news!

-snip-
Tottenham have lost too many points in a row. They will be looking for these points a lot in the following weeks of the league. They play like a big team in big matches, but they lose points at unexpected moments. They can't afford to lose points anymore, so they have to evaluate the positions they find. The 70th minute of the match is played and they are ahead 2-0. The 3 points they will get in this match are very important for them because they need to maintain their fifth place in the league and not move away from the teams in the top four.

There are times when every team plays badly, but good teams can collect points even when they play badly. Tottenham cannot achieve this very much, but I think they will recover because they have a strong squad.
You are right, Tottenham have scored their second goal to go 0-2 up against Nottingham. Unfortunately, Tottenham had to play with 10 players after one of their players received a red card, but considering that the match is almost over, I think Tottenham's victory in this match will be safe. The problem is, they once again had to let their good players miss due to red cards in the next match.

Yves Bissouma, this is his first red card in 2 seasons. But he has collected 6 yellow cards in 15 matches this season in the Premier League. This is detrimental to the team because Ange Postecoglou needs it, but it can't be helped because mistakes in a match cannot be completely avoided.

While watching the game I was talking to myself why that wasn't a red card only to see the video assistant calling for the match official to come see the video. ( I giggled immediately ) that was too serious to be a yellow card. It was the right call afyer a careless and reckless attempt of Yves Bissouma to win that ball. Tjis should ne the second time this season he's been sent out. First should be against Luton Town when he dived and was carded for the second time in the game. Tye midfied found stability with Bissouma and Sarr, his absence could cost them.

Two good goals scored to secure the win. I did not like the way they started the game, the Injury freed the swedish player back to his normal position to score and grab the assist of the game tonight. I feel like it's time for Nothingham Forest to part ways with their coach.
1992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 15, 2023, 07:45:57 PM
Inter is still trying to widen the gap with its closest competitor, but Juventus, who is in second place, continues to catch up by maintaining the point difference so that it is not too far apart. The race for the Serie A title this season is not very competitive, only Inter and Juventus are the ones who stand out the most and maintain their performance well, while the teams in third and fourth are only able to provide competition in the European zone.

Juventus is very likely to force Inter Milan to be in second place in the Serie A table. A change in position will occur when Juventus visits the Genoa Stadium today.
Two points behind Inter Milan is not a difficult thing for Juventus to do because Juventus does not have a busy playing schedule based on the calendar this season, only Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Juventus will be favored because they do not have a busy playing schedule which can force the players' physical performance to be optimal compared to Inter Milan who are still in the Champions League.

Tonight? Lol. Genoa would even be the one forcing the old ladies to share points with them tonight if they fail to take good use of them chances. I'm also suspecting Inter Milan to drop points this weekend after a strong fixture against Real Sociedad in the Champions League final game in the group stage. I'm predicting they'll share points and end up playing a fulltime draw. Genoa are troublesome whenever Juventus face them at home, they have been tipped to score a goal in this game because they have done that in the last five games Juventus have visited them. Who will help deliver em tonight since they lack capacity scoring goals. Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic and Kostic all are qualified for that but haven't bailed Juventus this season.

They shouldn't fail to make additions into their squad and it's mandatory the additions are meant to be attacking minded players who can score goals and create chances for them.

Of all the teams in the group stage, only Leverkusen managed to win 6 matches with a perfect 18 points. This is so real and with the expertise of Xabi Alonso this result can be achieved. He is a phenomenal coach with Leverkusen and with the additional victory over Molde made Leverkusen consolidate its 20th victory so far in all competitions.

Leverkusen are also unbeaten in all competitions and I wonder how long they can maintain this record. The numbers are fantastic and no one has been able to beat them to date. Now Leverkusen is just waiting for the draw results and I am also curious who will be their opponents later.

They're the only club in the Europa League Competition to make a hundred percent points accumulation, Yes? Xabi Alonso and his lads honestly deserves a trophy at the end of the season. With all of these hardwork believe me they should either emerge as the of the German Bundesliga League Competition at the end of the season. Even if they fall of from this very Competition, they shouldn't slack down as the league would be going to the toughest phase. Unbeaten at this point makes great sense, they should maintain same form until the end of the first half of the season.

I'm more than happy with Brighton. This is their very first time to qualify fir this European Competition and they also qualified for the Europa League knockouts stage with them as the group leaders. They would at least face a side they can dominate before progressing to a tough challenge. De Zebri has indeed improved the lads even without some of the players he had last season. Top manager I must say m

Manchester United will suffer a big loss if Casemiro leave the club, he has done an incredible work for that club because in all his career, he got his first red card in Manchester United trying to protect the club against all odd. In most of the games he was absent, they suffered losses both at home and away and the rest of the defenders are not doing well, they always need him but he got a another red card at the time the club need him the most. I'm sure that he will be rush by Saudi squads anytime he becomes a free agant when the market open and I'm sure Manchester United are going to earned well from this deal.

PSG can't deal with their own failure and now they are suffering from wron decisions they made, it is now they needed a young players to revive the path of the club. Thanks goodness Mbape didn't win the World Cup the second time otherwise they will have presented the club presidence to Mbape out love to make him stay in the club. Indeed a club only value your loyalty when they have something unique that you have, the soonest they don't see that again, they switch immediately.

Since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, Manchester United has suffered enough from one coach to another and players who are not worthy of wearing Manchester United badge.
I was so attached to Cristiano Ronaldo and I never envisaged him leaving the club that quick. To ne very honest, I felt like je would work better with Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United and they'll revive the club but they both couldn't make things work out for themselves just like Jadon Sancho and Erik Ten Hag. If Casemiro wants to leave, that's fine by him. With his destination? That I can't predict, Saudi for the money and PSG for more European trophies.

Manchester United has just come to agreement with Frankfurt over a loan transfer deal for Donny Van Dee Beek. I'm wishing him Godspeed in the next six months. He didn't get enough chance today play under Ten Hag. He has to go to a club so he can play consecutively.

He's still around the club and holds a position within Manchester United as a special advisor to the board and management. I've also read a new of how he's backing Erik Ten Hag for the job come rain come sun.

I want to blame him at times but I can't do that! I wonder why he gave chance of management too David Moyes who sent the club back to the trenches and slums with his poor tactics and management? But, what can I do? What ever has been done has been done. It's time to look forward aminot backwards.

For the job, Erik Ten Hag should be backed even if he lose against Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield. He is a great manager. Looking at the past managers who've been sacked, Erik Ten Hag has done a better job than them all. Someone correct me if I'm lying. So why sack him when you can get him the players he wants?!
Manchester United is not in good form and its clearly understandable by the supportive die-hard fans. They know within themselves they can't withstand the pressing energy of these elite clubs and they also have a fight to win because they need to be among the top four clubs this season, qualifying for the UEFA Champions League competition will be of great honor despite failing to qualify from the group stage this season. Erik Ten Hag is held with complicated jobs and any decisions he makes, neither good or bad have a 50/50 of ruining or exploring the club.

That I would agree, good things take time, I see that he also finds it difficult managing big players no wonder he wants a couple few players out at the start of the transfer window. He has also taken full responsibility for the decline of Manchester United and how they play. What's expected is for them fans to have a little bit of hope ( Though I know hoping is dangerous ) and patience. He'll make good changes. I don't go around hoping to get pleasure from Manchester United lately coz of how they play and shape. I don't evem expect them to finish at the top or amongst the first four clubs.

I be rooting for Tottenham Hotspur, after the Chelsea game they've been a shaky side and I hope to see them stabilized. They could still share points tonight but not a lose to em.

The season may look to have more to offer but right now we almost done with the first half of the season and any team at a top position and still but in as much effort in the next half of the season can have a very good turn out at the end of the season.
Well if I were to say who would be in the top six position at the end of the season I would say Arsenal at the first position just because I think they are solid and deserve it and then Manchester city, Liverpool and Aston villa then in six and fifth would be Newcastle and Tottenham.
Liverpool have sits on the first spot and we know how difficult it will be for these clubs to step down from this important positions. Arsenal has potentials of winning the EPL league this season but they're not consistent in performance, winning today and losing tomorrow is definitely not defines a true champions. Mikel Arteta will strive for more promising opportunities in mid-season, there's still hope for them and now is definitely not the time to start underperforming, rather its their time to outshine oppositions and ensure to grab golden opportunities in winning matches.
I have not really seen arsenal like team that will merit the league despite that their performance is very encouraging in this season, what about Liverpool team, they are performing very well and I think that if you give a Liverpool chance they will like to domanate or takeover from arsenal, I have not have that much confidence with arsenal carrying the league for now, if am well convinced of arsenal I will say it here, the match between arsenal and Brighton, I don't think arsenal can defeat Brighton in this match because I'm seeing that Brighton will not like to lose this the match why arsenal will be willing to defeat them, for Manchester United and Liverpool, from my predictions Manchester will lose the match against Liverpool.

The gunners have been decent no arguments, they have just been affected by injuries and lack of consistency within the Premier League.
Last weekend against Aston Villa they needed energy in midfied to stop Unai Emery amf his men from operating in midfied. Declan Rice was present but was not able to do the work alone in that midfied. Thomas Partey would have been a better pair in that game bit he was absent. They would be having him back this weekend against Brighton and I'm sure they'll win.

Liverpool are also progressing unlike last season, Klopp made some good signatures but they still lack a good defender to complement Virgil or Konate. Without that they cannot win the Premier League.

And also there prayer should be that Real Madrid should lose or draw there match so that if they eventually wins Deportivo Alaves they will stand on upper edge against Real Madrid and before Real Madrid could meet them again they might have gone far so perhaps with that Girona is sure of first or second position at the end of the league.
But it is true that sometimes playing against clubs that are equal or even weaker will be a little difficult for Girona. The Girona scheme that is always done when facing big clubs is the utilization of momentum and something like that sometimes cannot be done when facing weak clubs or equivalent clubs because other teams also apply the same scheme so it is not uncommon to play against clubs of the same level as Girona or even lower they are often troubled about it.
Indeed, for now, talking about statistics and probabilities, Girona will definitely be the favorite in this match but sometimes there is something that can be unexpected and I hope for that because I still expect Madrid to return to its position this week.

As for Madrid, the draw in the previous week against Betis was obviously annoying and they will have to try harder now that they have to catch Girona at the top.
The temporary break at UCL should give Real Madrid time to focus on finishing the competition in La Liga with Girona. So I also have hope that Madrid can catch up to Girona position more quickly. All that remains is to ensure the players because if some suffer injuries it will certainly be very ineffective in supporting Madrid aggression.

Meanwhile, other teams such as Atletico Madrid look very enthusiastic about tomorrow's match against Atletico Bilbao at San Mames. For Diego Simeone troops, this match is very important to create a gap with Barcelona, who had to accept defeat in yesterday's match by Girona. However, the enthusiasm of the Atletico Madrid players is not much different from that of the Bilbao players because their target is the same, namely wanting to bring down Barcelona and take over their position.

Real Madrid should also see some of their best players who have been reported Injured back within the first two weeks of the new year ( 2024 ) They'll achieve mlre points and be ready for the second half. To clear you, Girona as a squad is in no Competition with anybody.
They are gradually taking every game one step at a time. With how they've played at home, away games and against cluns below ten position, they will definitely extend their league run of brilliance.

The atmosphere created by the players, and fans has to be something I have never seen in a while, you should see how they cheer the players to play better and stronger. Atletico have been a brilliant side this season. They're are not on top but still seen as leage contenders in the Spanish League Competition.

@hd49728 Juventus definitely have the advantage of playing only in the Serie A because they’re able to concentrate all their resources to win the league title. Furthermore I strongly feel that Milan won’t win the title because of dropping in the Europa League as playing Thursday night football will effect the player’s and it may even cause them lots of fatigue if they keep progressing ahead in the Europa League tournament.
In terms of focus, Juventus should be more superior. because they will only compete for Serie A and the Italian Cup. compared to other competitors such as Inter and Milan who have to divide the players' focus on the Champions League and Europa League. Of course, fatigue can occur in players in the main squad if player rotation is not carried out well by the coach.
Sometimes coaches are reluctant to replace their best choice of players, but this actually harms the players' own performance.
That should be the case and it can be seen now that Juventus has been quite consistent so far because only focusing on Serie A matches is also beneficial for the Juventus team which is trying to recover and be better than last season.
This season Juventus is back in competition for the Scudetto.

This week, Juventus will face Genoa. If you look at the last few matches between the two teams, Juventus should not have any difficulties because Genoa has not found its best performance so far, and that is inversely proportional to Juventus.
Logically, juventus must have won against genoa but since this is football and anything is still remains unpredictable for now. Juventus was strong but it was not as strong as intermilan. Juventus needs to keep up with intermilan caused by the club is trying so hard to win the scudetto this seaso. Allegri has been increasing its target from UCL spots to be scudetto caused by he sees that the performance of his club is increasing gradually.

Im not rushing to predict the winner of serie a this season but juventus or intermilan are the teams who deserve to win the scudetto this season. The competition to get scudetto will be on these clubs.
I don't see other candidate that can enter in the title race.

So far so good it has got to be Inter Milan. I don't see any other worthy club capable of winning the Italian Scudetto Competition this season.
I must give Juventus their flowers though for being the only side in all.lf Seria A to be able to keep the flames and chase burning as they go on marching regardless to over shadow them down for the top of the league standing.
Allegri has not made an official statement of Juventus winning the Scudetto Competition this season. I know they'll have such thoughts but he has concealed his thoughts quite well.

It's just too early to decide would be league winners. I no longer want to take sides. Juventus who I've been supporting needs improvement in attack!!

To be honest, I really respect Manchester United because of its very long and very memorable football history. Although I'm not a United fan. Looking at the current situation I don't see United as they should be seen. After Ferguson left, I saw that United really seemed to have lost their spirit in the game. It's impossible to call Fergie out of retirement. But can Sir Alex Ferguson at least provide direction or coaching recommendations for United at this time?
Sir Alex Ferguson could have done this if the Manchester United team management still considered him an important person for Manchester United at this time. But if the team management still prefers to see someone else as the new coach for Manchester United in the coming seasons, I don't think anyone will ask for any direction from Sir Alex Ferguson even though he is the coach who once brought Manchester United to the top. the peak of its glory in the past.

He's still around the club and holds a position within Manchester United as a special advisor to the board and management. I've also read a new of how he's backing Erik Ten Hag for the job come rain come sun.

I want to blame him at times but I can't do that! I wonder why he gave chance of management too David Moyes who sent the club back to the trenches and slums with his poor tactics and management? But, what can I do? What ever has been done has been done. It's time to look forward aminot backwards.

For the job, Erik Ten Hag should be backed even if he lose against Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield. He is a great manager. Looking at the past managers who've been sacked, Erik Ten Hag has done a better job than them all. Someone correct me if I'm lying. So why sack him when you can get him the players he wants?!

Casemiro is said to be a target by PSG and Al-Hilal now. You know he has been quite far away from his old performances recently. This is why Manchester United are said to be thinking of parting ways with him. His time with injury didn't end up well for him. He is still a quality player but he needs to improve his effort much more than this.
Casemiro would likely leave Manchester United, but i don't think it can be to PSG. I found it weird when United paid £70m for a player of his age, there is no doubting his quality, but when a player is already above 30, he should not cost as much as that, except it is a Saudi club that is doing the signing, lol.

PSG are looking for younger players, especially from France, that is the direction the club has decided to take, they no longer want to sign only big stars, but they want to nurture young talents, if Casemiro leaves United, Saudi Arabia would be a more likely destination that the French champions.

He had a very high rating and was in a pretty decent form before he joined Manchester United that same season. It's either PSG of Saudi Arabian League, they would speed up the chase to get him signed. Who doesn't want such a great player in their squad? Really? He should not cost what? Ronaldo moved to Juventus at what age exactly? Harry Kane English International Captain has just joined Bayern Munich at what age please.?

Amongst the four names I saw, Casemiro was amongst them most likely to leave Manchester United when the transfer window begins.
They would also be without a top man like Kylian Mbappe, I agree with you they have plans to sign up younger players for the squad upgrades.
