Indeed, Chelsea and Manchester United are the teams that have always made strange choices when it comes to choosing players and what they will do with them. In my opinion, the players who go to Chelsea and Manchester United destroy their future
For this season, it is exactly as you said, none of the players who joined United or Chelsea last summer have stood out. I see that the fault lies with their managers, where Ten Hag and Pochettino failed to bring out the best potential from their players. Indeed, injury is another reason that can be used here, but it is completely irrelevant for a full season.

I think everyone is confused by Chelsea and United management policy this season when bringing in players, and releasing their experienced players. As happened with Chelsea this season, where Ziyech and Lukaku shone even more at their new club, Pochettino has clearly failed to see the player potential. Meanwhile, Ten Hag also did not escape negative attention when he did not utilize the potential of players like Jadon Sancho, it has been proven that at Dortmund he has become an important part of their main squad.

I think United and Chelsea will have difficulty finding quality players in the next transfer window, because these two clubs will not appear in the Champions League next season, therefore it will be difficult for the players they are targeting to be invited to join. It could be that, if Chelsea and United fire their coaches, the clubs can develop for the better next season.

Im sure ronaldo will shift to be a new coach in the future.

Wait what? I cant even picture him as a coach lol. I think he might even play until the age of 48 or something considering that his whole life was prepared to play football for almost forever.

If he ever retired, there will be tons of other jobs opportunities waiting for him. He could be pretty much a model for anything. Whatever he wears will most likely sells like crazy. Even better, picture him as an actor because thats a possibility for him as well. Imagine getting him on a screen, tons will be willing to watch him play a role on screen
Ronaldo is a very great footballer today. So the possibility of him becoming a football coach will definitely be very big. Apart from that, if Ronaldo becomes a football coach in the future, I am sure the price to bring in Ronaldo will definitely be very expensive (to train). So in this case I totally agree with @x-ray. Because if, for example, Ronaldo continues to play football until he is over 45 years old, in my opinion it is unlikely. Because, even though Ronaldo is a footballer who is very disciplined in managing his lifestyle. So he can still be very fit today. But even so, Ronaldo is a human who certainly has certain limitations. So in my opinion, it is unlikely that Ronaldo will play football until he is 48 years old.

And talk about the wider career that Ronaldo could pursue after retiring as a football player. In this context I completely agree with @arallmuus' assumption. The reason is, currently Ronaldo is like a world superstar. Maybe most people in the world already know Ronaldo. So, if, for example, Ronaldo wants to become an artist or actor after retiring from football, I don't think it will be difficult for Ronaldo to get a positive response from this. The reason is that until now Ronaldo often stars in advertisements for various products.

So in essence, both of your opinions are not wrong. Because the two assumptions you both put forward are very reasonable. However, I personally would add a little, namely don't forget that Ronaldo currently owns a company. So it is also possible that after Ronaldo retires from the world of football, he will focus on the business world.
Whatever Ronaldo does after retiring, he will still make money every minute, become a coach or continue playing until whatever age Ronaldo is always a trending topic. We can see that the prestige of the Saudi League has become more prestigious after Ronaldo arrival, not only that, his presence has also become an attraction for other top European players at the moment.

I predict Ronaldo will become a coach, because his understanding of football is beyond doubt, he will also be a good leader for any dressing room. Besides that, we cannot predict with certainty how far Ronaldo will continue to play, but I think there is a possibility that he will retire at Al Nassr.

Currently, Ronaldo leads the list of top scorers in the SPL by collecting 29 goals, most recently Ronaldo scored a hat trick in the Al Nassr versus Al Abha match. Unfortunately, after being strengthened by Ronaldo, Al Nassr has not been able to win the SPL trophy, but it does not rule out the possibility that next season their dream will be realized. Al Nassr will again hunt for top European players to add depth to the squad.

Leverkusen is living the dream right now. They are about to win the bundesliga title, they also have a really good chance to win the Europa League title as well. And they will also be playing the DFB-pokal semi finals on tomorrow, of course they also have a good chance to win that as well.

Imagine not being known by a lot of people and not being given any chance bye anyone as well. And suddenly having the chance of winning three trophies in the same season including the bundesliga title and the Europa League title Cool. I hope this does not create too much pressure for them because if they still make mistakes, Bayern Munich can actually make a comeback.  even though it definitely looks really hard because they have created a gap of 13 points and are pretty safe right now. But you never know.
What we know now is that based on existing facts, Leverkusen has the opportunity to win three trophies in one season, two of which are very close, namely the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal. Everyone certainly didn't expect them to be able to perform as consistently as they are now, performing beyond expectations where previously many doubted their strength. The key factor is none other than Xabi, the manager who has succeeded in bringing out the full potential of his players.

Towards the end of the season the competition will be even tighter, but Leverkusen will not worry too much, having a 13 point difference with their closest competitor means they can sit comfortably leading the Bundesliga standings. Apart from that, Xabi can also focus more on competing in the European League, where Leverkusen is currently the favorite to advance to the final.

If I'm not mistaken, Leverkusen can confirm themselves as champions this season in the next three matches, and I think they can realize their dream without any significant obstacles. Bayern dominance which has lasted for more than a decade is now approaching collapse, Xabi and his fleet will break it and become the new champions in the Bundesliga.

Madrid can almost certainly win the competition for the trophy, although mathematically Barcelona and Girona still have a chance. The only tough match that could trouble Los Blancos is against Barcelona, the rest I predict Ancelotti fleet can sweep the match clean by getting full points.

The runnerup position in the standings will be contested by Barcelona and Girona, where Barcelona chances are greater than Girona, because Xavi fleet is used to the heavy pressure before the season ends. However, Girona should be grateful, because they were able to finish in the top four of the standings and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

On the other hand, competition in the degradation zone will also be tight, where Cadiz, Granada and Almeria have the potential to be degradation to Segunda Division. Among the three teams, only Cadiz has the opportunity to get out of the red zone, because of the difference in points with the teams above them not that wide. Meanwhile, Almeria is the team that has the worst luck, because in the 30 matches they have played they have only been able to achieve 1 win.

In the midst of the tight competition for the Premier League trophy between Liverpool, Arsenal and City, in week 31 we will see two other elite teams compete in prestige, namely Chelsea vs United. These two teams have received quite a lot of attention this season, not because of their achievements, but because they often appeared to be funny throughout the season, especially in several easy matches which made them lose a number of points.

It is clear that this is the best big match next week, and will make it difficult for both teams to secure full points, even though on paper Chelsea has a slight advantage because they act as hosts. I think many bettors will avoid placing bets on one of them winning, because the two elite EPL teams this season cannot be completely trusted.

United ambition to penetrate the top four of the standings is actually becoming increasingly difficult, and Chelsea has the opportunity to add to their difficulties. The Blues usually perform well when facing fellow big clubs, maybe they can secure full points by beating Ten Hag fleet. Pochettino has the ambition to bring Chelsea into the top 10 of the standings, which Chelsea has struggled to achieve enough this season.

The battle for 2nd place between Monaco and Brest is still quite fierce because the difference is only 1 point and also these two teams also have very comparable strengths and the decision will take place on April 21 when Monaco visits Brest's headquarters.
This will be a tense and difficult match for both teams, both teams have the same motivation making it possible for a match with high tension.

Metz is only 4 points behind Le Harve who are in the safe zone, but Metz's performance has been so bad in the last few matches that they are struggling to get out of the relegation zone.
If you look at the match schedule for Brest and Monaco until the end of the season, it is likely that Brest will finish in runner-up position in the standings behind PSG. Because in the next 7 remaining matches, Monaco will have to face a number of tough matches, including Rennest, Brest, Lille, Lyon, where Brest itself is their direct challenger at the moment.

But despite this fact, the most important thing for Monaco is to finish in the Champions League zone and they will appear there next season. Last season Monaco did not appear in European competitions, they were only able to collect 65 points in one season so they had to be willing to finish in 6th place in the standings. Compared with last season, Monaco performance this season is much better.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, the competition in the degradation zone is no less interesting, I think the Le Havre versus Metz match will be one of the most exciting next week. Le Vavre, who are trying to stay away from the degradation zone, will be challenged by Metz who want to change their fate and get out of the red zone. Even though Ligue 1 looks boring because of PSG dominance, sometimes the competition between mediocre teams can keep us entertained.

Bologna has been very surprising this season, no one thought before that they could be in the top 4. If they can maintain this position, Bologna will have the opportunity to play in the UCL next season and this will provide a new experience for the Bologna players. Of course they won't set any targets. Participating in the UCL has been a valuable experience for the Bologna players.
I'm sure Bologna will definitely maintain their position to qualify for the Champions League as the new representative in Serie A even Bologna's points are almost close to Juventus if Juventus lose then it will be shifted by Bologna so this team will be a little more comfortable with maintaining until the end of the season.

The new experience for Bologna is certainly worth it even though there is no target but the appearance in the Champions League will make the players have great motivation, there is no greater hope if it goes through but when Bologna qualifies for the next phase then it is a big record for him.
I didn't expect Bologna to be as consistent as they are now, where in a little while they will overtake Juventus position in third place, Thiago Motta fleet is now a little comfortable with a 5 point difference with Roma. Now I think Bologna chances of securing a ticket to the Champions League are quite big, they even have the chance to finish in 3rd place because Juventus is being inconsistent.

The remaining 8 matches ahead, of course Bologna will try to secure full points in each match, even though there are tough matches waiting for them ahead. Roma, Napoli and Juventus are the teams that can make Bologna lose points. If Bologna manages to get through this tough match without losing, they have a big chance of finishing in 3rd place in the standings.

The pressure towards the end of the season will increase, where Roma, who are currently developing for the better, will continue to try to break into the top four of the standings. De Rossi fleet will continue to compete with Bologna to appear in the Champions League next season. I think with yesterday draw against Lecce, Roma chances of overtaking Bologna have become increasingly now difficult.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: April 01, 2024, 05:59:44 PM
I don't think Roma would be able to qualify to the semifinals, because they are playing with a team stronger than them. Milan have been quite consistent recently and I believe that they also have the Europa cup finals in heart. It will be a shock to me, if Milan is kicked out by Roma in the quarter finals.

Roma is doing pretty good, ever since the arrival of De Rossi, but that does not mean that when they face a strong club like Milan, they would be able to be victorious over them. Roman's strength is limited. Since Di Rossi took over from Mourinho, Roma have not won a big club if I am not mistaken. Let's not underestimate Milan who is sitting on the second position, while Roma is 5th on the table in their domestic league. Assuming, it was a different league, I would not doubt Roma.
I also predict that Roma will not be able to get rid of Milan in the quarter finals of the Europa League, even though De Rossi has succeeded in polishing Roma to be better, the difference between the two squad depths and their consistency so far makes us more confident in Milan. If Pioli fails to bring Milan to the semi finals, I predict he will be replaced next season, he has also failed to bring Milan through to the Champions League group stage.

Milan has a good reputation when playing in European competitions, but this season the competition is very tight, because the other two teams, namely Liverpool and Leverkusen, appear more consistently than them. However, it does not rule out the possibility that Milan can advance to the final, even though we know that this effort will not be easy to do. If Milan fails to win the Europa League trophy, then they will end the season empty handed this season.

I think Ancelotti still needs Luka Modric in his team that's why he is still keeping him in the team despite his age but for his physical condition Modric is very feet just that Ancelitti is building his team around younger players because they are the future of the club since the older players doesn't have the much time to spend in the club again. Modric may not have much playing time in Real Madrid again but his impert in the team can't be forgotten and when Real Madrid is having difficulty in the midfield Modric has always been introduced and he does wonders in the midfield when ever he is introduced in the game this alone will not let the Madrid coach to let him leave in a hurry.

For a player like Modric going to Saudi Arabia won't be a problem for his because he is a skilful player but it will be left for him to make the decision to either join the Saudi Arabian teams to make more money or to take a break from playing football.
Modric has reached the final stage of his career at Madrid, where his contract will end next season, speculation about his future is now emerging and there is news that he will move to the SPL. It cannot be denied that Ancelotti still really needs Modric presence, because it is very difficult to find players like him at the moment. But he is no longer young, and Ancelotti cannot do more to give him more playing minutes.

Los Blancos management has succeeded in keeping the transition in the main squad going well, where players like Modric and Kroos can be ideal examples for other young players. However, Modric is almost 39 years old, where his physical condition will no longer allow him to play full time, and we know that competition in Madrid midfield is now quite tight.

We have actually heard rumors regarding Modric future very often, but so far there has been no official news about where he will go. To be honest, choosing to retire at Madrid was also the right decision, he has been an inseparable part of Madrid success this decade. Ancelotti and everyone will certainly respect whatever Modric decision.

The match between Lecce and Roma is currently underway, where the score is still 0-0 at the moment, while the minutes have almost entered the end of the second half. De Rossi fleet actually controlled the game with possession of the ball, but they were not able to create many opportunities to convert them into goals, De Rossi was late in rotating players.

So far Roma have only been able to fire 2 shots on target, Lecce defense line is quite difficult to penetrate, they play with a defensive style which makes Roma front line frustrated. I don't think Lecce will make Roma stumble, where De Rossi currently needs an additional 3 points to get close to Bologna and penetrate the top four of the standings in the future.

There is still time for Roma to secure 3 points, they have to work hard to do it. It would be a shame if they failed this time, because it would be very difficult for Roma to overtake Bologna in the remaining matches ahead. Let's hope they are lucky today, sharing points is actually not that bad when faced with this situation.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 01, 2024, 05:21:25 PM
Real Madrid didn't allow any surprises when they won yesterday. There is a good match today too. Villarreal, who is in great form, will face Atletico Madrid, who has had a bad run last weeks. Atletico Madrid needs to win to regain fourth place. Winning at El Madrigal is not easy. Villarreal, who scored goals in attack with Sörloth, Moreno and Morales this season, is one of the teams that conceded the most goals in the league. I think there is a high probability that both sides will score. It could be a draw with multiple goals or an Atletico win.
Madrid won easily over Bilbao with a score of 2-0, Rodrygo became man of the match in that match thanks to his two goals. This victory further strengthens Madrid position at the top of the La Liga standings, and still maintains a distance from its closest competitor Barcelona. The 8-point gap is still maintained, and Ancelotti fleet is still unshakable for now.

On the other hand, ATM ambition to get back into the top four of the standings seems to be very difficult, because they will face Villarreal, who currently has a fairly consistent performance. Even though on paper victory tends to be in favor of ATM, it is possible that Villarreal will become a stumbling block for ATM to reach the Champions League zone.

Simeone squad is in unstable form, they have suffered consecutive defeats in their last two matches, so Villarreal can exploit their weakness today. Apart from that, Villarreal has a slight advantage because it will act as host, ATM needs to work hard to be able to bring home 3 points. If ATM again fails to secure full points then Bilbao will be very lucky, I can't imagine if ATM misses out on appearing in the Champions League next season.

It's true that it was quite a wise decision that he took. And Leverkusen also looks like they will become a new challenger in the UCL next season. And apart from Leverkusen, it looks like there will also be a new challenger from Laliga, namely Girona. Girona this season has also become a club that has surprised everyone in the league. Although Girona's performance in Laliga is not as good as Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. but Girona also has a chance to go to UCL.
Regarding Xabi Alonso, he knows which is the best path for him to take and Leverkusen is indeed the right answer.
Xabi certainly understands the competition in the Champions League very well, with a squad that has been successfully polished this season, it could provide greater opportunities for him to talk a lot next season. If Xabi leaves for another club, it is not certain that he will be able to coach it well, because he needs to adapt again to build everything from scratch.

With Leverkusen, they understand each other well, making it easier for them to achieve their targets again next season. Turning down an offer from a big club is quite difficult, and I also think that Xabi has made the right and calculated decision. Apart from that, the interest of big European clubs in Xabi will certainly not be reduce, especially if Xabi is able to present trophies every season.

We will see Leverkusen and Girona competing in the Champions League next season, hopefully they won't be in the hell group later, so that their steps will be a little easier. Leverkusen and Girona have been the attraction in their domestic league this season, the impressive performance they have shown has impressed us all, they have created various surprises to get to this point.

Al Hilal won the game as I was expecting to see and they had a good performance in this match which is not something I wanted to see from Al Hilal but to be honest Al Shabab also had a good chance and they could also made Al Hilal stop in this match.
The sad and shocking thing that happened to Al Hilal was about their superstar player, Aleksandar Mitrović. We know Aleksandar Mitrović is a key player for his team but in the game against Al Shabab, Aleksandar Mitrović got injured and he could continue the game 34 minutes after the start of this match.
We still don't know how hard is he injured but the absence of Aleksandar Mitrović can damage the team.


Al-Hilal had to pay a heavy price for the victory because they had to lose their flagship striker due to injury. I think even if they win, on the other hand, they are quite disadvantaged and Mitrovic will definitely be absent from several matches. But at least that won't interfere with Al-Hilal winning the title this season considering they are already ahead by so many points.

Al-Shabab is quite tough because they can match Al-Hilal's game and they can almost force Al-Hilal to draw this match. But Al-Hilal's winning mentality deserves to be appreciated and they don't want to lose full points in this very dramatic match. Maybe we can consider Al-Hilal as champions of the Saudi league this season and their next focus is to win the Asian Champions League title.
The victory over Al Shahab was Al Hilal 30th victory in a row, it would be a shame if they had to lose one of their key players in that match. Mitrovic is Al Hilal mainstay on the front line, most of the goals scored by Al Hilal this season have come from his feet, this is a big loss for them. Mitrovic is actually really needed in the Asian Championship League matches, while in the Saudi Pro League I think Al Hilal can overcome every challenge without his presence in the lineup.

Mitrovic is Ronaldo closest competitor when it comes to scoring goals, he has scored a total of 22 goals so far, if he can return sooner the number could increase again. On the other hand, I think the competition for the trophy is over, where Al Nassr as their closest competitor will no longer be able to catch up with Al Hilal, the difference in points in the standings is getting wider. Meanwhile, Al Hilal is also one of the favorite clubs to win the Asian Champions League, they managed to get rid of Al Ittihad in the quarter finals and have now advanced to the semi finals to face Al Ain. Hopefully Mitrovic will be available again soon, to help Al Hilal in the remaining matches ahead.

It was a rough night for Marseille! PSG managed to secure a victory over Marseille despite being down to 10 men. Marseille seemed completely ineffective. Even with PSG playing with a man less, they managed to win 0-2 at Marseille's home ground. While PSG executed their counter-attacks efficiently, it's hard to consider this win as an impressive in this league.
The game was more solid when Mbappe wasn’t involved in the counter-attack, which was quite brilliant. Mbappe hasn't been completing all the games lately. They are starting to learn how to play without him, and it's proving to be effective for them. Perhaps it's strategic to save big players for important matches. Enrique is doing a fantastic job there, prioritizing winning the Champions League over the domestic league.
How easily PSG beat Marseille, Enrique fleet even did it with 10 players, and it was done at Marseille home ground. So it would not be wrong if we say that Ligue 1 has made PSG weak when competing in the Champions League, because there is no significant pressure that other contestants can put on PSG. These additional 3 points further emphasize their position at the top of the standings, where in the next few matches PSG will lock up this season trophy.

Enrique will save Mbappe for more important matches in the Champions League, to avoid unwanted injuries. With the point difference that has now been established, PSG will not worry when they shift their focus to facing Barcelona in the quarter finals in the next ten days. Apart from that, Enrique will soon win the Ligue 1 trophy in his first season.

PSG is very lucky because they have a big chance of beating Barcelona, considering that Enrique really knows his former club. Currently PSG will focus completely on the Champions League, and maximize everything to be able to advance to the semi finals. Enrique will certainly make the most of Mbappe presence, because next season Mbappe will reportedly choose to leave.

I agree with this and the draw that Arsenal got against Man City provides a much bigger opportunity for them. Although in terms of points, this draw is quite profitable for Liverpool because they can smile a little more at being in first place in the standings now. Arsenal has a big chance to emerge as champions this season, but Arteta must see how the current points cannot be far behind Liverpool.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City still have a good chance of competing for the title, but now Liverpool is much more profitable and has a much bigger chance. Now we just need to look at the next few matches and if the three of them can play consistently then the standings will not change, so the title will be determined after one of them gets a disappointing result.
There are still a number of tough matches ahead that Liverpool, Arsenal and City must complete to achieve their goal of winning the Premier League trophy this season. What is clear is that the competition will not be easy although these three clubs appear more consistently than the other contestants, the pressure put on by the mediocre clubs also has the potential to hinder their progress in getting full points.

Another challenge faced by the three teams challenging for the title is the tight match schedule, where they are also competing closely in the European competition which has now entered the quarter finals. Teams that can avoid player injuries will be very lucky, because losing key players will make it difficult for them to win, especially in big matches against other elite teams.

Liverpool, who were lucky because City and Arsenal drew, are also not completely safe, because the point difference is currently very thin between the three of them, where one defeat could change their position in the standings. Pep Guardiola fleet will face tough opponents again next week, they will host Aston Villa, who have been quite impressive this season.

Now that Tuchel has caved in and congratulated his opponent, Leverkusen can start celebrating. It's incredible that they've come this far without losing. Even though they fell behind in scores in many matches, their ability to turn the matches around showed their great play. They had a fantastic season and deserved the championship. I congratulate especially Xabi Alonso and all the players. They ended Bayern's dynasty in the German league. Finally!

The most important thing is that they put an end to Bayer's failures and now they cannot be called Neverkusen. Before this season, they had 5 second places and it seemed that it was their curse to stop one step away from the title, but Xabi was able to break this tradition. Since he stays, next season will be super interesting and we will find out if Kane can break his tradition and win at least some title at the club level.
Leverkusen has turned into a club to be reckoned with in Europe with their unbeaten record in every competition, this extraordinary achievement also breaks Bayern dominance which has lasted for more than a decade. Neverkusen's current words have changed completely, thanks to Xabi cold hands polishing his fleet into a terrifying club.

Xabi decision to stay with Leverkusen next season is good news for all their fans, while for Bayern themselves they are very disappointed, because they plan to recruit Xabi to become Tuchel successor. The competition for the trophy next season will also make Bayern suffer again because they will once again compete with a club as tough as Leverkusen.

There are only a few matches left where Leverkusen will lock up the Bundesliga trophy, Xabi fleet also has a big chance of winning the DFB Pokal trophy, meanwhile Leverkusen also has the opportunity to win the Europa League trophy. The Bundesliga has now become more competitive, it is no longer just one team that dominates the competition, Leverkusen is a little closer to succeeding in realizing its ambitions, and making the Bundesliga more interesting. Kane can try to return next season, to be able to taste his first League trophy in his professional career.

Tuchel is actually very stressed by this result. However, so far, Bayern Munich has always been above Dortmund, even though sometimes they are behind, but in this match. it's really outrageous, the results are very bad.

As for Leverkusen, there is no doubt, it seems like they just have to enjoy the performance of other matches while waiting for the finish time to still hold the trophy. But what they do best is, they never give up, and they continue to show their best in every match. Even Leverkusen still maintains its unbeaten title to this day.
Now is the time for Tuchel to congratulate Leverkusen on their achievements this season. Even though the season is not finished, the 13 point difference in the standings can speak, meaning that the competition for the trophy is over and Bayern has raised the white flag in surrender. Leverkusen only need 3 more wins to lock up the Bundesliga trophy, and they will change the history of the club.

I didn't expect Bayern dominance to be broken in a way that was never imagined, Leverkusen did it by appearing unbeatable, and Xabi fleet has a great chance of maintaining that record for a full season. Bayern latest defeat has certainly made Tuchel's position even more depressed. Luckily, he agreed to resign in advance next season, because otherwise Bayern management could have fired him in order to save the club reputation.

Dormund, who for the last decade has been trying to break Bayern dominance, failed to do so. Thanks to Xabi cool hands, Leverkusen managed to do something that Dortmund was unable to attempt. The Bundesliga will soon show a new champion, it's just a matter of time before we see it, congratulations to Leverkusen.

What if Bayern Munich lost out in their league just to get ready to play against Arsenal, let's not forget they they have a very good record against Arsenal and their performance in the champions league can't be compared to that of their league because even when they were playing very poor in the league they still came back to beat Lazio 3:0 to book their ticket to the quarter  finals. Arsenal is in good shape and form now but they need not to underestimate Bayern Munich because they will come all out to ake sure they get  a win in their first leg and if they are able to achieve that, you won't believe what the final score will be in the returning leg because they will be aiming to facing the next opponent and their confidence will be back. All the teams in this stage is good but is t is still very impossible to know the team that will be champions but after the semi finals the best two will come out from there.
The team that has made it to the quarter finals is the best at the moment, no one should underestimate it and no one should be underestimated. They really understand the atmosphere of the Champions League, where a small mistake can wipe out their chances of progressing to the next round. Arsenal is indeed in impressive form, but they cannot necessarily beat Bayern easily.

Bayern has a wealth of experience when playing in the Champions League, they also have coaches and players who have won the trophy. Arteta certainly understands this very well, and the head to head record can be used as a valuable lesson that Bayern should not be underestimated at all, even though they are currently experiencing a decline in performance in the Bundesliga.

I assume Bayern can still show a different performance in the Champions League, and it will be quite easy for them to recover from defeat. If you look at the strengths of Bayern and Arsenal, in fact the two teams have strengths that are not much different. Arsenal will try their best to break their bad record when facing Bayern, and Tuchel's squad will try to protect their only chance of winning a trophy this season.

Liverpool fans are actually happy with this outcome because they are now at the top of the Premier League table with two points ahead of Arsenal and three points ahead of Manchester City.

The match was also not bad for Arsenal because it is a sign that Arsenal is strong enough to win title now, the only problem we are still having is a prolific and a reliable striker up front to help us convert our chances.

As it stands like this, the Premier League table’s top team will not be stable because if Arsenal is winning and they played before Liverpool, they will top the League before Liverpool, and by any chance of Liverpool lose or draw any match, Arsenal will overtake them, likewise Manchester City too.
Liverpool hopes have been fulfilled and Klopp fleet is now leading the standings, of course all their fans will be very happy, and City and Arsenal fans will be a little disappointed. However, Liverpool cannot be complacent, because the point difference is very thin between their closest competitors, Arsenal and City still have the opportunity to continue hunting for trophies and overtake Liverpool position in the remaining 8 matches.

The depth of Arsenal squad this season is indeed better than last season, it seems it is true that they only lack quality strikers. Harvertz is often used as a second striker by Arteta, proving that Arsenal lacks a deadly striker on the front line. For now, Arteta must make the most of the players available, and try to maximize their potential for the remainder of the season.

On the other hand, I think that next week the top position of the standings is unlikely to change, where Liverpool will face easy opponents, as well as Arsenal, you could say that both clubs can secure full points. Meanwhile, City had to undergo a tough match against Aston Villa, where in the first half of the season City lost to Unai Emery fleet with a score of 1-0.

Well, I don't see Erik Ten Hag knowing how to manage; I just see him making a mess of things and spending money on the players he chooses. Did he spend a lot of money in the transfer window and what are the team's current results? Erik ten Hag should still give up hope of reaching the Top 4 this season because MU is far behind Aston Villa and Tottenham. With only 1 point against Brentford, MU is 8 and 11 points behind Spurs and Aston Villa, respectively. Obviously, MU played very badly. This is a common image of the Red Devils throughout this season. They played erratically, lacked stability and often let their opponents pressure them.

I feel like MU is no different from a mid-range team. Summer 2024, MU needs a strong reform. At that time, it was unlikely that Erik ten Hag could keep his position as head coach.
Erik Ten Hag has spent a lot of money in the transfer window at the beginning of the season, he brought in players according to his wishes but the performance of the Manchester United team is not better than last season, that already indicates that Erik Ten Hag has failed miserably so I think Manchester United management does not need to entrust him Erik Ten Hag again spends money to buy new players, the results will probably be the same.

Manchester United will have to make a major overhaul of their squad if they want to be a top team again competing for the title and I think Erik Ten Hag should be sacked.
It seems like firing Ten Hag was the right choice because he quite often annoys United fans, with Ten Hag failing to bring the Red Devils to a consistent performance in every match. Their new recruits also failed to show their best game, high prices do not guarantee that they can perform according to expectations.

Hojlund, Amrabat, Mount and Onana are the players recruited by Ten Hag last summer, and I see that these players have not performed optimally this season. We don't know for sure whether they are not suitable for the strategy used by Ten Hag, or whether they themselves find it difficult to adapt. Ten Hag clearly takes full responsibility for his team performance, where if he fails to finish in the Champions League zone he will most likely be fired.

It's true, United won't necessarily experience an improvement if they overhaul most of their squad depth, by giving Ten Hag a budget to buy new players in the next transfer window. United this season is in the spotlight not because of its good performance but because of its inconsistency, even though it's quite hard to say, Ten Hag actually deserves to be kicked out of Old Trafford.
