The match was very surprising Watford was able to convert more goals in just a short time even I didn't expect it to happen like this and the Everton players lost their concentration in the 80th minute so the players didn't really have a strong defense for Everton. It was for sure. In fact it was much more surprising than the Chelsea-Norwich game. With the scoreline like 2-1 with Everton leading and Everton being the favourites from the start no one thought that they would make a comeback with 2-5 scoreline but they did. But this is a good effect Ranieri was able to bring Watford much better than before and ensure his squad remains consistent.
Has anyone bet on Watford how do you feel after knowing this final score?
I lost the bet because I didn't expect it to be like this so it was beyond my expectations.
I was about to place on Everton but good thing that I didn't. Some surprise we have here on this gameday. |

So Watford just now finished the game with 2-5 score from 2-1 score that Everton were enjoying quite sometime. It all changed in last 12 minutes where they found the equaliser and thrashed Everton quite heavily. Joshua King found his hat trick for hornets and Emmanuel Dennis contributed in three goals for Watford where he assisted 2 and score one himself. Ranieri effect? I hope he at least finds a good long managing career at Watford.

Everton set sights on signing Lingard in January as plan revealed to evade FFP Everton have set their sights on a January deal for Man United star Jesse Lingard in January, Football Insider has learned. The Merseysiders will be in the market for an attacking midfielder capable of scoring goals and slotting straight into Rafael Benitez’s side. An Everton source has told Football Insider that Lingard is on the club’s target list and Benitez is a big admirer of him. The Merseysiders are planning to explore a loan-to-buy deal in which Lingard joins on an initial loan that is converted into a permanent deal at the end of the season. Everton are targeting Lingard as they look to secure a replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who will be let go at the end of the season. Readmore https://www.footballinsider247.com/everton-transfer-latest/Good for Everton and that would really improve their squad. Lingard has improved a lot over the last year and he contributed in so many goals for West Ham last season. Manchester United should really give him some good chances to prove himself again. They are just letting him rot on the bench, it's such a waste of talent. I really wonder why West Ham didn't tried getting him on permanent deal. He adjusted in Hammers quite well. |

With a result like this, at least I have a feeling whether Arteta was just trying a strategy at the start so that he got three defeats in a row or maybe because the absence of several players due to injury made him bad at the start. because after successive defeats at the beginning we can see Arteta really making very rapid progress, at least the draw is still good for Arsenal. Next Arsenal will play away against Leicester and I think, that is also still part of the tough test for Arteta because Leicester itself when against a big team they seem to get a bigger fighting spirit.
I would say defense was still poor at the start after Ben White's arrival. After Tomiyasu's arrival things changed down for Arsenal and he is performing great as well. I must say a good replacement for Bellerin. The team is performing defensively better than expected than before. Arsenal vs Leicester would certainly be good test as they would be up against a good tough opponent which is in decent form. |

Again, Arsenal continues to prove its capacity as a big team and I hope Arsenal can maintain good gameplay to maintain consistency in getting points. With that result, then the race for fourth and fifth place will have a tougher competition and more teams will fight for the position, of course it will be very interesting. It can be said that the competition in the EPL is entirely the competition of the big teams for the competition at the top, it looks like it will really happen throughout this season.
I must say I am sorry for doubting them but yesterday they really proved great as a team. Lot of good plays and movement in attack and defensively they were strong as well. A strong midfield hold also was something good to see from Gunners. I think its a good sign and if they play like this and be consistent then they also could be a good contender in title race. Right now they are at 9th but they can climb the ladder quickly if they avoid dropping points and play like they have done in these 4-5 matches.x |

Arsenal is a very inconsistent team and I would not count them to get an easy win here because Aston villa for starters can be a menace when they want to....best result here should be say Arsenal 1-1 Aston Villa after both teams have players rested without Europen games duties.
Btw anybody looked at the last 3 games they two teams met....well Arsenal stands no chance to win. Other possible result Aston Villa 1-0 win .
Yeah they are right now. Series of 3-4 results is not enough to ascertain them as a good team yet. Aston Villa on other hand have some very good strikers like Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins and both are good strikers of the ball. It is good to see Arsenal displaying a good defensive plays now but it would be an interesting challenge for them to check and hold them both down at the same time. I wouldn't say Arsenal don't have a chance but it would be an interesting match. Bookies IMO are favouring Arsenal a lot but I think both teams are on eual level. It's just that Aston Villa's recent performance hasn't been that good as expected and Arsenal have picked up some good points recently. |

Manchester United have a lot of good players this season and that will give them a better chance of winning the title.
Ole has same pressure as Lampard had last year. After having new good players, the pressure is to win titles, not to secure a position in top 4 of Premier League. Lampard was sacked last season, what will be the end of Ole in this season? Complete the season with Manchester United and will manage the club next season or will sacked in middle of this season? I think they still trust their manager. Well its good to see that believe in the manager but he should make some serious changes that atleast changes something or show at least signs that are improving and making less mistakes. I think he is gonna stay for a while at the time being but if this kind of results become regular than they might be forced to sack him at a point. |

Next summer, FC Barcelona will compete with Madrid for the signing of Kylian Mbappé. Following the report, Barcelona are willing to pay €90m for the signing of the player. Barcelona could barely fire Koeman, but how could they afford Mbappe? The club wants to sign anything living. It is very likely they will abandon this race very soon. BTW! The decision about Mbappe's impending move has been made already - he knows where he will land next year.
It is clear that Mbappe is going to Madrid (couldn't think of any other club linked to him right now). I understand news of Barcelona coming in between Madrid an Mbappe transfer but I hardly think it would happen. Barca is not that broke IMO. In last transfer window, just near the last day there were strong reports of them making a bid around 70-80 mil mark for Leipzig winger Dani Olmo. |

I'm very confident that Lazio can win the game even I bet the first half for Lazio but so far no goals maybe i lost the bet in the first half
I will watch in the second half, Marseille seemed to dominate in the first half so I doubt Lazio will win
Lazio is playing the second half better than the first but still seems like Marseille is holding them equally good. There have been couple of chances and the off bar one was close and also the goal ruled out of offside - seems like Lazio is running with a bit of bad luck here. But anyway kinda bit surprised with the way Marseille has put up the game today. I was expecting some Lazio goals given the players they have and how well they were against Inter in their last fixture but really today Marseille is holding them really quite too well. |

Manchester city are still the favorite though but again just like last season in the champion league, I would not be surprised if Chelsea beats them to it.
Count Liverpool in the race too. They have been spectacular so far in the PL games and with the defensive beast Van Dijk being back they have been performing very well back there. Last season they had issue but this it seems like they might also be able to lift the trophy if they perform with consistency like they are doing right now. City and Chelsea on other hand are also performing great with their dense squad. Still its a long race and we are just at the beginning and there could be lot of surprises in the race going forward. |

West Ham to win against Genk and Lazio to win against Marseille should be a good bet. Both the teams are in fine form and have some good individuals who are performing quite well right now for their respective teams. Lazio vs Marseille is a bit doubt to me as Marseille also has some players who are good but Marseille have been out of form for some time now and with the players Lazio has it is likely that Lazio will easily win here.

Sterling is a player I thought Mikel Arteta would rush to sign from City,because the player does not deserve to be benched at the club,he needs to be given more time on the ball to show his quality.I wonder why Pep does not play him,because in my opinion,he is even more better than Grealish. I think he lost his touch and its hard to keep your place inside the team. City have lot of attacking players and Guardiola prefers adaptability or maybe perhaps strategy and hence sometimes plays midfield players in attack. With that it is hard to keep up the place with the form he has been putting. That was how they let Sane leave too,a player that had so much qualities.Mancity needs to constantly play Sterling to keep his mind at the club,because I believe right now,he might be feeling not wanted by the club which is bad.
That was not why let Sane leave. Sane actually wanted to make a switch to german league and Bayern were also interested in him. With his contract about to end, City did offered him contract extension but it was denied by him and City had nothing option but to accept Bayern bid offer in order to save the amount if they would have let him go for free. Sane never felt not being wanted. He was injured and hence was unable to play just some gameweeks before the transfer. |

The German league has been the Bayern league for quite a long period of time and I don't see that changing this season. I somewhat expected that they will have a hard time winning against Leverkusen in the last match as Leverkusen were 2nd in the table and were playing very well so far. But it seemed like Bayern toyed with them. As long as Lewandowski, Muller, Gnabry will be on form, I hardly think Bayern will miss any title in the next few seasons.
There are some teams who are next in positions to them but they are far below the Bayern level. The squad they have is a very great squad from defence, midfield and attack and is the best in German Bundesliga and no doubt they are dominating Bundesliga. But still it makes a league kinda boring IMO to see someone dominating for a long time. Last time Leipzig was close but they started losing out points. This time also so far Dortmund is keeping up with Bayern on the table but they have to keep it till the end if they serious want to challenge Bayern for the title race. |

it has now been announced that newcastle has decided to part ways with coach Steve Bruce by mutual agreement.
after the investor takeover, this is the first logical step to bring the magpies to another higher level in the pl.
there are also already probably 2 candidates who are traded as his successor ... B. Rodgers currently at leicester and L. Favre currently without a club.
the compensation for S. Bruce amounts to about €8 million
So there are only 2 options for the new coach ? this is not what we imagined how he handles top players we wait for the big announcement I hope it's only temporary at least before the new season starts Brendon Rodgers already said that he is happy at Leicester and won't be accepting Newcastle job and as for L Favre, it could be a possibility. I am sure that they will be having more than 2 candidates for the manager role. They will be rejected a lot right now but I think they will have good luck with someone who was sacked a long time ago and has been without a team for a while. |

Raheem Sterling is reportedly unsettled at Man City, because he's not getting enough game time. According to Marca, they've put a price tag on him, and are asking €80 million. Sounds a little cheap, but apparently Barca are interested... He may move somewhere, but I can't see how Barca could possibly be able to pay out that sort of fee. Even if he was €80 (without the million) they would struggle. Well Sterling has been out of form and with the dense squad Manchester City has, it definitely must be hard to keep a place inside the team given the performance he is putting. Better for City as they will get something out of sale of Sterling and also Sterling will get a chance to move outside of England and find some comparatively easier competition somewhere else. |

Liverpool this season is not like last season, they are currently showing good performances both in the EPL and in the UCL. If we talk motivation, then Liverpool's motivation and confidence is probably better than Manchester United's. From here, motivation alone is not enough, but if Ole manages to provide a good strategy, maybe this will be a different result. The question is, can Ole outperform Klopp's strategy in this match? Is Ronaldo the only hope for Manchester United to win?
Without a doubt, they are far more better than Liverpool right now. United have been doing mistakes and on other hand we have Liverpool who are scoring goals and aren't making any mistakes. I think comparatively Liverpool are on another level. Although I still wouldn't say anything for sure about their upcoming match as United tends to play some fine performance when they are up against hard teams (not sure what comes into them). Last season, they were like this, dropping points against weaker teams and winning against the stronger one. |

So PSG Team Spirit are our Dota 2 International 10 2021 Champions. Who would have thought that they would make it this far. Starting at the tournament they were considered as underdogs but coming up all the way and to defeat the consistent performers like PSG and Team Secret is really something. Gotta hand it to them. They improved throughout the tournament I must say.

Their main objective is to keep off from the relegation zone.
Yeah.. no brainer in that. I think there wouldn't be change in their run anytime soon but I think some major squad changes might occur in January transfer window. Not sure if that would help them improve their performance but they would be in the right course towards improving their squad. And btw they have already have some good transfer targets like Coutinho and so but making that deal final is what matters in that is where I doubt them they would get some big names. It would be hard to convince some big names in my opinion. As for today's match, we had first match of real contribution from Harry Kane today and an assist in Son's goal so good sign for Spurs and Nuno. |

^^ Yeah. Team Spirit really surprised most of us. From underdogs to the grand finals. What a journey for them. Team Secret had a good start but Team spirit really made a nice comeback to enter into the finals. It's now Team spirit and PSG in the finals. PSG are very likely to win this one but I am not very sure after watching the Team Spirit momentum. Could go either way.
