Actually they had quite a few opportunities, but unfortunately they missed the chance so much. The defeat by Bilbao meant that Atletico Madrid had to lose points and was threatened with further decline in its position if it continued like this. Indeed, recently, there have been several clubs whose normal for them to lead the match.
Btw, Barcelona is now still struggling against Valencia. In fact, Barcelona had led 1 - 0 through a goal from Joao Felix in the 55th minute. But in the end they had to be overtaken after Valencia equalized in the 70th minute through a goal from Guillamon. And up to now in the 90th minute, there have been no additional goals from either of them. The score is still the same at 1-1. I think Barcelona has to win here to really be in third place quite well.
Too bad for Atletico Madrid they conceded a 2-0 defeat by Bilbao away from home, Atletico Madrid dominated the game mostly but could create lots of chances to win Bilbao, even the few chances they got couldn't be converted to a goal, however Bilbao really utilized the advantage of their home ground, they stood their ground and created alot of chances and where lucky enough to score 2 goals, this victory would really boost the morale of their players. I wonder why Barcelona have been struggling to win matches lately, could it be that Xavi's strategy is becoming outdated or the players are not working hard enough cause if you compare both squads you'll see that Barcelona are in a better position to win Valencia who are in 10th position in the standings, and if not for Joao Felix's opener goal Barcelona would had lost the whole 3 points completely. |

I haven't seen, or you could say haven't checked, whether there is an official statement issued by Real Madrid on their official website regarding Luka Modric's status. although in fact, Spanish media, Sport, reported that Real Madrid had decided not to give Modric a new contract. If this news is true and it is possible that it is because he is already 38 years old, Modric as a veteran player deserves to be given the award as a Real Madrid legend. Modric deserves to be awarded for his loyalty to the club he has played for so far, he is one of Real Madrid's genius players.
Personally, of all the current Madrid players. Modric is one of the players I really admire, although a decline in performance is inevitable due to age. However, if Madrid doesn't want to use his services next summer, that means the farewell of Modric and his Los Blancos supporters will have to be a celebration. Without Modric, Real Madrid would not have won many titles. I mean, as far as Modric with Real Madrid. well, I also read some rumors regarding Modric's resignation. So far, he has been rumored and linked with a club from the Saudi League. Apart from that, Modric is also linked with MLS, one of the clubs where Leonel Messi plays. in fact, no official statement was even made from this Croatian player. He is still loyal to playing for Madrid, even though he currently plays from the reserve bench. sometimes, Modric is not played at all. This season, Modric has only started 6 times in 13 matches so far. but because of his love for Real Madrid, he doesn't mind it even if this is his last season. I'm not a Real Madrid supporter, but what else would he be looking for other than retiring and ending his career as a Real Madrid legend.
Luka Modric has made his mark and his departure will be one with lots of honour as he’s won majorly all trophies in the traditional Madrid attire and that’s one dream of most young players. He’s paid his dues and yes the accolades and applauds he’s getting are well deserved. Yes, he’s still got quite some talents up his sleeves but age is one factor that’s making him depart Europe because football dynamics has changed. So he’ll need to play in a continent that’s not so fast as how football is played in Europe, Luka has some qualities and I trust many clubs will bid for him especially Saudi Arabian clubs as he’ll be one big addition that’ll change the league’s face and bring quite some more attention to the league, It would also be a delight to join his counterparts Ronaldo and Benzema over their in Saudi. |

I already suspected that many people had lost their bets on the Juventus and Genoa match, because everyone would have believed in Juventus winning but the score ended in a draw for the two teams, to be honest, this was very disappointing for many people, especially those who held bets for Juventus because they were all gone. After placing a bet on Juventus who are actually in bad shape this week, no one expected this to happen..
In my opinion, this draw will be detrimental to Juventus because they are chasing points with Inter Milan. If the game is like this, it will be difficult for Juventus to catch Inter Milan's points, plus Inter Milan will host SS. LAZIO is currently performing badly, in its last few matches, it will definitely be very easy for Inter Milan to get points in these matches. If Inter Milan wins the match against LAZIO then the gap between Juventus and Inter Milan will widen.
It’s surprising Juventus were held to a draw by Genoa; this kind of result is one that’ll not just affect the team but also the punters out there who would have put majority of money on Juventus winning this. It’s quite crazy these big teams doesn’t know how much most persons lose when they fail to turn up and get the win. Now to how it affects the team, it’ll be a big drawback in their progress to secure the league title as it’ll give Inter Milan some more space to increase their lead when they get a win tomorrow. If Juventus keep being like this, I think it’ll be quite difficult for them to catch up with Inter Milan, Lazio will be no match for Inter as they’re not in a good shape to give headache to this Inter Milan side although yes it’s a big match but I think Inter will have the edge in this match and increase the points gap between her and Juventus. |

Frankfurt will want to get something when they visit BayArena, Laverkusen home ground. They want to beat Laverkusen like they beat Bayern Munchen the previous week, with high enthusiasm and self confidence, once again Frankfurt wants to be the killer of the big teams in the Bundesliga. On the other side, we know how Laverkusen has performed so far, untouched by defeat in all competitions, and continuing to improve his statistical numbers and trying to extend his unbeaten record. If successful, it will strengthen its position at the top of the standings and avoid being overtaken by Bayern Munchen.
In theory, Laverkusen is clearly superior, thanks to their consistency we dare to say that they will not lose in the match against Frankfurt this week. The win in Frankfurt last week was a stroke of luck, and Xabi has certainly learned how to determine his opponent luck tomorrow. Anything can happen and I don't expect Laverkusen to lose points either by drawing or losing, because I want to see how far Xabi and his fleet can suppress Bayern dominance in the Bundesliga this season.
It’s of a true that Frankfurt will be going to BayArena with full confidence especially after the victory over a big gun in the Bundesliga, but will it be possible to being down 2 big dogs at a same time, especially judging from Leverkusen’s sweet form you can tell this’ll be a hard nut for Frankfurt to crack; to score and not concede. Yes this is football and anything is bound to happen but in this kind of match, I expect Xabi to get all 3 points and boost his lead to the league title. Winning the three points would widen the gap between them and Bayern Munich and I believe Xabi and his boys would not let their fans down, they really impressed everyone therefore they need to maintain consistency and seize the opportunity of achieving what Dortmund couldn't achieve last season, well the journey for the trophy is not going to be smooth but if they continue working hard, they could make winning it a possibility. |

Le Havre will be wild if they play at home, considering that against Monaco they can hold a draw and against Lens they can also hold a draw, while Nice is currently missing several mainstay players who are injured, such as Khephren Thuram, who can be relied on at Nice but unfortunately is injured and this is which makes me doubt that even though Le Havre not look like weak club, it very strong if they play at home and are strong enough to hold a draw even though the opponents they face are popular clubs, but still Le Havre can appear stronger and I avoid matches with several league 1 clubs except PSG and I predict that the Le Havre match against Nice will have 2 chances between Le Havre winning or drawing and I hope anyone chooses to bet on the safe option.
I just realized yesterday's match between monaco and Lyon with a score of 0-1 and even though this score was very small, Monaco was humiliated at home and according to my predictions, when Monaco and Nice were on top at that time I said this was only temporary it had It's time for Nice and Monaco to return to their lost consistency and it turns out this is true.
In the French ligue 1, there are teams that are ranked as good, better and best. Outside the fact that they do their best to ensure clear points, they still strive to reduce loss to big teams. Havre backs confidently more on home advantages and they make good use of this advantage. They're not much of a tough team in the league but they can try their best to cut the wings of threatening teams. They have a lot to play for even if not for either the UCL or UEL, or even a qualification spot, they play to keep being in the main league and also maximize the players' quality and ability and boost the team's strength and confidence too. I await their game outcomes from now till the end of the season and also love to see the position they'd finish at, however PSG still remains the potential winners of the league this season. |

Yesterday's games didn't have results that surprised me. the leader of the table, Al Hilal played against Al Wehda, in that game as I had already said in my last comment, Al Hilal came into this game as the favorite due to many factors: they played at home, they won all of the last 5 games, they are the main favorites to win the league and also since the league started they have not had any defeat yet, in 17 games they have not lost in any game and managed to score 50 goals and only conceded just 9 goals, this means that they has an average of 3 goals scored per game and a perfect defense. while their opponent, who is in a position very far from the top of the table, came into this game with a very poor performance
Al Wehda in the last 4 games had only 2 wins and 2 draws and when we look at their performance since the beginning of the league we see that in 17 games they managed to obtain 7 wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats, they conceded 32 goals and scored 28 goals, that is, they have an average of 2 goals conceded per game, this in itself gave an idea that their chances of losing in this game were very high. honestly, I had no doubts that Al Hilal would be able to win this game, Al Hilal's dominance in that game was clear, they managed to score 2 goals, didn't concede any goals and had 71% possession of the ball, it was unlikely that Al Hilal would not be he would become champion. the numbers speak for themselves. a team that has a good attack, a team that has a good defense and a team that has a points advantage, I hardly lost the title
Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism. It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. Al Hilal were able to win their game yesterday and so it's pushed them reasonable ahead on the league table. They're a good side and currently doing better compared to Al Nassr in terms of performances and I won't be surprised to see that they grow and expand in their worth and relevance. The SPL is also an encouraging platform and it definitely boosts their morale to deliver rightly. |

Difficult opponent teams on 16 round for teams who qualified and have been in pot 2, Inter, PSG and Napoli get potential will face top teams such as Arsenal, PSG and Bayern Munich. The Pot 1 teams will face teams from Pot 2 but have an exceptional not with the same group and not come from the same country. Example Real Madrid will face with second Pot teams except with Napoli because they are on the same group and teams potential will be opponent for Real Madrid are teams on pot 2 except Napoli. Another example with Bayern Munich potential opponent teams on round 16 teams from Pot 2 except with Copenhagen are the same group and RB Leipzig because they are from the Bundesliga teams. Personally I want to see drawing 16 round Barcelona vs PSG and seems both teams have potential face on 16 round but waiting the drawing match on Monday.
The round of 16 stage of the UCL seems tough as expected due to the fact that teams that advanced are literally the best at their deeds in their various domestic leagues. The UCL is always a tournament for the best teams in the game and it adds to the fun of football as all teams would strive to survive through each other's heat. This round is one of the toughest in the tournament despite the fact that they'll still play home and away. No team would trade their chances or give off points to the other as every goal counts. No matter the set fixture, both teams are definitely going to be tough for each other. This is one stage that should be watched closely, it's very much risky to predict at these points cos none will be willing to submit to the other. Let whosoever will win, win however I believe teams like Realmadrid and City would move into the quarter final. |

Richarlison seemed to play in the match against Nottingham Forest and even scored a goal with a pass from Kulusevski, who can be called probably the best player of the match.
This victory is no less important than the draw with Manchester City. Tottenham is gradually recovering from those heavy defeats that they had before the match with Manchester City. Before the victory over Nottingham Forest Tottenham also lost to West Ham and it seemed that again Tottenham could not find their game, but the victory over Nottingham Forest showed that Postecoglou's boys still have the strength to fight for the championship.
Although Tottenham will probably not be able to take the first place in the season because of the excellent play of Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa, but it is still possible to fight for third or even second place.
Tottenham before City's encounter had rough weeks of football and it never ended in their favor, it was diminishing to their ability and confidence on the pitch. They were able to hold City to a draw and yesterday they ensured that they took the 3points to themselves, they played very impressively and really deserved the winning. The team has been able to stay in the top spots of the table and are proving competitive enough to secure an European cup qualification ticket. The team's ahead of them are doing excellently well too so definitely the struggle will be tough and definitely heated up for them. The season is still long and so lapses, wins and losses will occur, but one team would just have to withstand all the heat to remain the best of them all in the league. |

But in my opinion, this is not a match in the Premier League but a UEL match and it doesn't matter how Liverpool will perform against MU, but the most important thing is that Liverpool must focus more on the UEL because this is an opportunity when the players are in good condition and on one side Liverpool has several challengers. What will make it difficult to continue their journey to the final is Leverkusen, who are very strong at the moment and I'm sure Liverpool won't be able to fight Leverkusen because they are really in an extraordinary situation right now.
But all of this is just a prediction because we will never know what will happen in the future and injuries are always an obstacle for a club to be able to perform with a strong performance and I also really hope that none of the Leverkusen and Liverpool players suffer injuries before they meet. compete because I really want to see the performance of these two clubs when they meet on the field.
Even though I'm just a bettor and not a fan of Leverkusen or Liverpool, I really hope that the two clubs compete to a higher level in the final round which will determine who is the best.
As it stands, the team would have to find a major focus and personally, I'd suggest that they put in more strength to the UEL as they've been able to gain grounds in the EPL even if not solid as it ought to considering the intensity of the league. The EPL is competitive too and so focus should be put in it but the UEL trophy to me would actually have more worth than the EPL. The UEL journey may not necessarily be stressful for them as Liverpool tends to be better than the teams in the tournament, their tough counterpart will definitely be Leverkusen because they've had more or less same domestic league results as Liverpool and the team is everly eager to strive to win games and they're aiming for the trophy. It's good that the both of them are in the same condition and then also have the same goal and target in the domestic and continental tournaments too. The best team would stand out. |

This match will be a very important match for Everton to improve their position in the standings because they are currently still in an unsafe position and they have to gain a lot of points to return their position to their original position precisely in the middle of the standings as before, and vice versa in this match It is also very important for Tottenham Hotspur to catch up on the points difference with the top of the standings. They don't want to be far behind because Tottenham has the ambition to win the Premier League title and try to play in the Champions League next season.
Of course, Sean Dyche as the coach continues to provide good motivation to his players because they need encouragement after receiving this punishment and they have proven that Everton can still rise because they don't want to experience relegation.
I'm sure they will achieve good results in the future. But in the match against Tottenham I'm not so sure because Tottenham is also in a good trend and seems to be on the winning path and it is certain that both clubs will try hard to fight for the full 3 points in this match.
Well I think this match is going to be a very tough one cause both teams have really had a good time earlier this season but are trying to put themselves together so as to move upwards again, especially Everton who got deducted points and are now currently in the relegation zone, well Tottenham are a good team and would fancy themselves to steal the 3points against Everton, but they're not going to find it easy playing Everton especially now that Bissouma has been book with a red card and would miss the match. However Tottenham has alot of advantage in that game, they might be playing without one of their key player but they still have the home ground to their advantage and that could give give them a big confidence to steal the 3points against Everton by this time next week. My prediction for the game is a bts which is both teams to score. |

I totally concur with your assessment of Casemiro's skills. In my opinion, he still has a lot to give at the top level, especially at Manchester United. He's clearly been United's biggest loss in the middle of the field, both in terms of defense and helping their front line. He is really missing from the team.
The player's future is uncertain, and moving to the Saudi league now seems like a waste for someone of his skill. He's only 31 years old, so he's still in his prime, and he could seriously help any top European team. These rumors about PSG's desire make sense; they're always looking for top players. He should definitely stay in Europe, where he can continue to compete for big titles, because this is a turning point in his career.
Despite the fact that Casemiro didn't really impress on the pitch at some point, this season before he sustained an injury but there's no doubt he's a very good player with lots of experience when he's fully in form and I believe he still got alot to offer to Manchester United this season, however I think he has alot to work on so as to get better on the pitch when he recovers from injury especially his aggressive tackling that always get him booked. Well I won't blame Erik Ten Hag, or the board if they decide to cash in on him in the next transfer window, cause they need quick actions and not some constant testing with players that should be performing at their highest peak, but really underperforming and affecting the whole clubs performance with their constant errors, atleast they use the money they realize from his sale to invest in another player that would perform better in that position. |

sorry, maybe you meant Genoa, because Girona is at the top of the La Liga standings. while Genoa is in 14th position in the Serie A standings.
The draw result from the match between Genoa and Juventus was indeed surprising. I even lost my bet in that match. For some reason, Juventus looks very difficult to break down Genoa's defense. but the situation does give Inter an advantage in increasing the point difference with Juventus. Hopefully, Inter will win.
I got confused as well not until I read your reply and figured out it was a typo error and he meant Genoa, well Juventus really tried there best in that game, but it wasn't enough, they were lucky to get a penalty that got them the opener goal, but too bad there defense line was a bit open and it gave Genoa an opportunity to score and equalizer and they defended after that and didn't give Juventus a clear opportunity to find the back of the next after their 1st goal. Well Intermilan are the benefactors of that encounter cause they're now a point ahead of Juventus and if they win tomorrow against Lazio if would be four points ahead of Juventus, this is a big boost for them, based on the title race and I'm pretty sure they'll try as much as possible to secure the three points and stay four points clear off Juventus. |

Obviously, although basically the difference in depth between these two teams is quite far and Leverkusen is far above Frankfurt in the current conditions but still, caution and vigilance must still be applied by Xabi Alonso. Leverkusen are indeed unbeaten so far and they have a point difference which I think is quite far with Bayern Munich but still anything is still very possible and that means I am sure that Xabi Alonso will not underestimate his opponent.
In fact, the position at the top of the table is far from safe because there is a lot of pressure from the competition of several other strong teams, especially those who are competing in the top five area of the standings, and that means there is absolutely no reason for Leverkusen not to be careful even against the middle team. What is certain is that as you said, the full three points are a must for Leverkusen, there is no time to relax while the competition is still running. And maybe we can only hope that Leverkusen can continue to maintain their impressive performance until the season ends, because honestly I believe we must be quite bored when we see only one team that can always win the title at the end of the season, and it looks like this season will be more interesting especially at the end of the season when all teams display tighter competition.
Yeah you're right no team is to be underestimated because they could take you by suprise, just like how Bayern Munich underestimated Saarbrücken in a match in the DFB-Pokal tournament and got kicked out of the tournament, it was a thing of suprise to everyone cause they're not up to the standards of a mediocre club in the Bundesliga but yet they scored a good number of goals against Bayern Munich. Well I trust Leverkusen to try as much as possible to be careful when they face Frankfurt because they'll need to claim alot of points if they want to break Bayern Munich's long record of dominance in the Bundesliga, Frankfurt would fight back and even try to destroy their unbeaten run, but Leverkusen should try to be really careful in the match, no matter how tough the match may be, grabbing the whole point should be the major target for Leverkusen. |

Is it a serious problem for intermilan? it's not even a serious problem. Intermilan is still having damian which is as good as cuadrado and how can intermilan need to recruit a new player? it doesn't even make sense. Simeone has been fully preparing for this situation. Interimlan is still having damian on its site as a back up for cuadrado which was injured. he was also a very good RB at this moment too. Never try to underestimate him. There's no need to find a replacement for cuadrado.
Intermila is still having some players who can also play as RB as well It was not a serious problem for intermilan. Intermilan needs only to focus on how to build the club to be even better than before.
Intermilan has so many great players on its secondary squad. Missing cuadrado was nothing. I remind you that intermilan played very well last season without cuadradi.
Why shall we feel worry about that? Damian will be showing his amazing performance.
Well I don't know how serious the injury is but since it's one that requires him to undergo a surgery, that means Inter would have to look for a temporary replacement for him, well like you said they still got Damian but if he was as good as Cuadrado then I don't think Intermilan would had got him but also in as much as Damian is still available, I think they'll still need a substitute player to stand for him in case of fatigue or a necessary substitution in that position. Well the coach have the final say and solution to this issue, it's left for him to decide if he'll get an additional player to replace Cuadrado or not, and the good thing is that the transfer window is by the corner therefore they'll have to take advantage of it and make the necessary changes or additions to their squad, just incase need be. |

Leroy Sane's name has been called with a couple of big teams recently. One of them is Manchester City and the other one is Real Madrid if I'm not wrong. Manchester City want their old player back in the squad as it seems after seeing how he has been performing so far. I don't even know how they were okay with sending him in the first place. However I'm not sure about whether he would like to go back while he is happy with his performance at Bayern Munich. Maybe his answer could be the same against the Real Madrid option as well if he doesn't have a dream of playing for Real Madrid or so. I think he should stay while he has a great chemistry with Kane.  Leroy Sane is a very good talented player, the both clubs that are rumored to be in his demand are currently the best clubs in Europe and I feel it might be tough for him to decide where his next move would be, Sane excelled at Manchester City during his time there and it wouldn't be hard for him to adapt to City's pattern if he moves over there again, however Realmadrid is a team that helps top flight players to perform at their very best so I think either team would be a good option for him. Well he's currently a Bayern Munich player and it seems like he's happy at the club for the moment, well anything is possible cause Bayern Munich might decide to cash in on him if a good offer comes in, and Realmadrid should be desperately searching for a top flight striker instead of going for Sane, when the already got Vinicius Junior. |

This may sound unpleasant to Ten Hag, but the failure of a team to achieve its best performance is the coach's responsibility. Ten Hag has good abilities in managing a team, but when there is a lot of pressure on his shoulders then I think his job will become even more difficult.
Manchester United will sure be better when the management or ownership is changed and they’ll be more fortunate to have an Arab owner because of recent we can see the developing love for football by the Arabians and how much they’re ready to invest. Yea, you can see how successful Manchester City are because of proper investments by the Arabs and that’s one major reason the fans wants the Arab to takeover Manchester United. Chelsea has made some investments too but I think they weren’t the main priority that’s one reason for the team’s downfall and now ETH who got his signings yet isn’t doing well is losing the faith of the fans and that could be a looming disaster too cause alot of talks about him losing his managerial role is beginning to fly around with names like Graham Poter being mentioned as one of the possible replacement. Hmmm, what a joke well let's see what the takeover process unfolds. |

How I see Tottenham's performance against Nottingham Forest, they will win or draw because they are playing well. It's just that Nottingham is defending well, so they need to change the information in the second half to break through their defense line because Tottenham needs to win this game. Manchester City in the league table before their match against Palace Crystal, but I am confident Manchester City will win their match to continue chasing the league table because I know Manchester City will not give up on the league trophy, but it will be difficult for them to win the premier league trophy this season because based on Liverpool and Arsenal's performances this season, I believe one of them will win the league trophy.
Liverpool have a tough match against Manchester United this weekend, which I believe Liverpool can win since Manchester United are not in good enough shape to compete with them, but when Manchester United play a large club, they do their hardest to win or draw the game.
Tottenham really needs this win against Nottingham to keep an eye on the UCL spot and that’s one reason for their play and if you check the league standings, Nottingham are more secured than Tottenham so more reason Tottenham are really hitting hard for the win, No doubt Nottingham are trying their best to contain Tottenham so I think this match will be a narrow escape for Tottenham but the 3 points is all that matters Manchester City will definitely get all 3 points against Palace to keep gunning for the title because they’re far behind Arsenal and Liverpool in the chase and that’s quite bad, Liverpool have a walkover game against a Man United team that’s not fully organized and I think Liverpool will get all 3 points without much stress, and just like the previous season they might still embarrass United as well. |

Real Madrid will always be a candidate in this competition, even though it won't be as successful as Ronado and his contemporaries. this season, Madrid remains one of the strong candidates to win the La Liga trophy. moreover, their rivals are currently experiencing several problems in the Barcelona squad. especially, when it comes to scoring goals. also, Barcelona's defense is not as solid as last season. So Madrid's challenge for now is only Girona, who are two points behind. So, it's just a matter of time for Madrid to move to the top of the standings. It could be that Girona ends up slipping in some of their matches. or, when the second leg match is met at Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu headquarters. What is certain is that Madrid has plenty of time to shift Girona's ranking with a schedule that still has a lot of matches left. Apart from that, Madrid has Bellingham who is the difference in their squad by scoring 12 goals. Even though some goals are scored easily, the fact is that Bellingam is also capable of creating spectacular goals. I'm not a Madrid supporter, but it's only fair that Madrid has a better chance at the moment than Barcelona.
However, in fact, it's not just Girona that might be an obstacle to Real Madrid's progress. In fact, ATM is currently ranked 3rd, with one match postponed. which means, ATM could reduce the difference in points from Real Madrid. On the other hand, Michel's squad will always try to defend their position as far as they can. Likewise with Barcelona, Xavi will definitely carry out a lot of evaluations of his squad. Let's just see, at the end of the first season, whether there will be a change in position at the top of the standings. or, the actual match in the second half of the La Liga season. So there's no harm in waiting, after all there are still a lot of matches happening until the end of this season.
The La Liga has 2 major big names, Real Madrid which is one team you can’t take away the league title race from them so easily. Like this team still flourishes even with the loads of injury this team is having. They play without a striker, yet still net in some important goals and get key points to remain top of the table, Girona might be at the top currently but to me Madrid are the top contenders of this season. Barcelona seem to have some challenges with injury and a shaky defense line and Girona seem to be the major contenders; I don’t think they’ll be able to match Madrid especially when the full squad gets back from injury Well I don’t think ATM will be much an obstacle because of course we know they can switch up form and get bad so I think I give Madrid better chance of winning this League this season. |

If Erik Ten Hag is categorized as a bad coach then the previous season would not have been in the Champions League but this time it was a failure that he led his team, maybe you are right, there are divisions in the team so it is difficult for Man United to be solid again. I think Erik Ten Hag's philosophy is too strict and this is not comfortable for the players or anything else, this problem is not so detailed it will remain what is rumored we are quite sure there are divisions at his club now.
Maybe after Man United was acquired, things will change? However, this did not happen Glazer wanted a higher price and potential new investors did not want to buy a club that was too expensive, the same thing happened with Chelsea, who spent a lot of money investing in players, but in fact it did not meet the club owner's expectations.
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. |

Al Ahli has been performing well recently, not losing in the last 5 matches but experiencing 3 draws, indeed the draw results made Al Ahli lose a lot of points but at least they didn't lose all of them, in today's match when they visit Al Feiha headquarters, Al Ahli can won the match with an extraordinary landslide score even though Al Feiha is not a weak club, but lately Al Feiha has not been in good condition so Al Ahli took advantage of that momentum to get the full 3 points.
Al Feiha must have felt embarrassed in this match because Al Ahli really didn't give him a chance to score. Al Ahli kept the defense tight so as not to concede a goal from the home team.
Al Ahli is only 3 points different from Al Nassr if they want second place they have to appear consistent but it looks like Al Nassr will not slip up easily as long as they still have a strong attack line and Al Nassr only needs to improve the performance of their back line to defend well and if that has been resolved by the coach I am sure Al Nassr will still be in the top position with Al Hilal.
The SPL is a growing league with teams doing very well at what they do. We can mention a few of the teams as not just Al Nassr being the only ones doing well. The various team performances are beneficial to the leagues growth and expansion, adding to the promptness to be a part of the UEFA race. It's a good push to the best that a team can portray. Al Nassr are still standing really out in the league and then the likes of Al Hilal and the other teams. The combination of local and foreign players in the league promoted unity and bond with nations too, even increases fans favouritism. It's just beautiful to watch how football in the Asian side has become so beautiful, shifting down the attention of other nations to see the wonders that the SPL are doing. The league is still running and race for the trophy is on too. The final table standing is awaited. |
