After winning the Champions League match, Manchester United's management does not seem to be dismissing Ole now. Moreover it takes time to work with new teams and new players. Give Ole some more time, he'll be able to take the team to a better position. However, Manchester United's biggest problem at the moment is that their defense is very weak. The defender is able to perform well while playing well against a weak team, the performance against a strong team is poor.
In this last transfer market, Man United clearly doesn't reinforce the defense, which is currently its biggest weakness. I believe they will take advantage of the opening of the market in January, to try to strengthen their defence. Until then you have to be able to hold out as best you can. How many Defender will a manager to to buy before he can win a silverware for the team. Do you know that Man united defense is very expensive than Leicester city and Arsenal that have won some trophies lately. Should i also talk about Chelsea's defense? They only got Ben Chilwell for 50m last season and Tuchel has managed to win two major trophies. It is not all about getting Defenders and starting them in every game. Do you have the right set up to make them function effective. Do you how much is the whole Man united defense combined? Wan Bissaka was bought for 52m, Harry Maguire was 80m, now Rapheal Varane was 43m. Do you even know what the team has and yet they are conceding goals in almost every game? You do not have to invest more on the defenders again. The main problem was their injuries and the defensive players are not clicking with each other. Yes, they got one of the best defenders this season - Varane, but he has barely played for them. Moreover, Maguire seems like he's making a lot of mistakes in the defense. United's attack is top-notch with Ronaldo, Cavani, Rashford, and Bruno, the defense is where Ole will need to spend more time. Once the defense is fit and is on form, United will do very well this season. But also congrats to them for winning against Atalanta. |

It would be great if Zidane could be the coach of Manchester United. It was the coach's seat just before Zidane actually entered Newcastle's target list, which some time ago had been widely discussed in the Newcastle sports media. It would be very profitable if Ole was replaced by Zidane, we know this was Ronaldo's suggestion which was quite right before they were completely dismissed for misapplying Ole undeveloped attacking strategy.
I think the players have realized there was a mistake in the game. But they couldn't do anything about it, because they were arranged by the Coach. Indeed, if I look at some of the news I read that the players are not satisfied with Ole's coaching style and the results. I think management should consider Ronaldo's suggestion to sign Zidane. Because what I know today is that Zidane hasn't coached the club before it's too late. I think that even such epoch-making players as Ronaldo should not be involved in choosing the head coach of the team. Until Zidane finds a new job, he will be a constant target for rumors, but I personally am not sure that Zinedine will agree to come to Manchester United. I don't think Zidane will rush this fateful decision and immediately agree to the proposed options. Moreover, Zidane's entire coaching career is limited only to Spain and the Real Madrid club system, where there were only Castilla and, accordingly, Real Madrid itself, where everything is familiar and familiar to him. Therefore, I think that Zidane will take a more responsible attitude to the likely change of situation. One thing that we all have to agree on is that Zidane is really good tactically. At least I can say for sure that he's better tactically than Ole. Yes, Zidane has very little experience in coaching and has only coached in Spain but once he gets adjusted to the environment, I strongly feel like with the squad he will have at United, he can lead them to success. |

I haven't watched the whole Lakers vs GSW game, but the Lakers lost. It's not that the Lakers were missing something except a small chemistry and missed free throws and turnovers, but it's the GSW has been once again spectacular this year. A lot of guys has been improving, Jordan Poole was the most notable player who has greatly improved. They're once again surrounded with a lot of shooters, can both do damage from inside the paint or beyond the arc.
I hope to see a dangerous GSW again and reclaim their spot in the playoffs.
If Jordan Poole will be consistent all throughout the whole season, other teams will need to watch out for him because he is a great shooter. With Poole scoring 20+ points against the Lakers, Curry got a triple double (his 8th on his career). This just shows that its not only Curry that are shooting right now but there are more who are shooting especially from the outside. Just seeing their roster and most of them can really shoot threes. Wiggins, Curry, Thompson, Poole, Porter, Bjelica. Almost all of them have a good shooting percentage on three points. Curry, Thompson, Green and now we can include Poole maybe in the list. The Big 3 + 1  . Overall, if they will not get injured especially Curry and Thompson I think the Warriors will be a playoff contender and possible championship contender as well. They can do it especially now that we already saw how the Lakers are playing, there is a chance that it will be Warriors Vs. Nets/Bucks. What do you think? There's the word "if", of course, the GSW will become a better team if Curry will get help from his teammates, he cannot carry this team alone and we've seen that last season. Just like the old Warriors who won multiple championships, they need some role players to make it possible and let's hope the consistency of Poole will stay until Thompson will officially return. Poole has been an important part of GSW so far. But I am curious if even Kaly returns, will he be able to play live before? But I have to say that GSW has been one of the most structured and team-based teams of the whole NBA, Their chemistry on the field is just top-notch. And in addition to that, if Curry can play on his peak form, we are in for a treat. GSW have overall very good three shooters and that is a huge advantage and if Klay can return to his best again, we all know how deadly he is from the 3 point shooting range. |

The Frenchman is seriously considering the option of extending the contract This will not be an ordinary contract extension, the head of Qatar, Emir of Qatar, really wants PSG forward Kilian Mbappé to stay at the club during the World Cup, which will be held in this country from November to December 2022. The contract with the Frenchman can be extended by just one season. If the deal goes through, Real Madrid will get Mbappe for free, but after a year as Emir wants Lionel Messi, Neymar and Mbappe to headline the Paris squad. To convince Kilian to stay, PSG will guarantee him the opportunity to leave the club a year later than planned. The parties will sign a new contract, according to which the forward will become the highest paid player in the club, surpassing even Messi. According to Todofichajes, this figure will be around 45 million per season. The bad news for Real is that the club will have to wait another year or look for another player. https://www.readfootball.com/pszh-mozhet-prodlit-kontrakt-s-mbappe-na-1-sezon-244181.htmlYeah, something like that was already discussed. Mbappe wants Real, but that is 1 mil weekly salary that PSG is offering - Real cannot go nowhere near as high as that. Since FFP rules have been reduced due to Covid situation, PSG owner will probably be able to find a way to insert that money into the club. Crazy money, and I'm thinking how Liverpool will pay 400k wekly that Salah is demanding. I already know we cannot, but then you hear about things like these and realize just how much money a few clubs have and how big the difference that really is. One thing I have to say is that the PSG owners are playing a business game and I don't think if Mbappe accepts the contract it will be good for him. Because let's just say he accepts this contract with this huge salary. And after a year when his contract will be over and Real won't be able to pay as much, what if he changes his mind and stays with PSG then? I could be wrong but this is what I think might happen. |

 this disparity in odds is very strange, atalanta is a strong team and manchester united is a weak team, but why they giving all that advantage to manchester united? are Oddsmaker underestimating the atalanta? I'm thinking about betting on atalanta I wouldn't underestimate Man U, although I also don't understand why bookmakers give such big odds on an Atalanta win... But still, the Red Devils are playing at home! Although they recently lost to Leicester by a big score, Atalanta are still the underdogs in this match... Furthermore, if Man U win today, they could finish top of the standings... Looking at the Red Devils' past performances, it doesn't look like they will be able to beat the Atlanta team. But do not forget that Manchester United have a lot of stars and talented players. Man U is capable of winning against any team if the players can play their place well. Hope they will not make any mistake in today's match. |

I looked at the statistics of the last 4 matches against Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. Atletico Madrid has scored 7 goals in 4 matches and Liverpool have scored 6. However, Atletico Madrid has won 3 of 4 matches. Liverpool last won against Atletico in 2009. However, this season Liverpool is a very tidy team from the beginning. They have been performing consistently since the start of the season. I would say Liverpool's performance is more stable than Atletico Madrid's. Both teams have the ability to win.
Atletico gambles when they play like they do. And all 3 wins came from good gambling,,, which is defending deep and hoping to frustrate Liverpool while encouraging them to go more and more up the pitch. This makes it easy for them to counterattack. Surely they cannot try to do the same thing again this time,,, it would be the most boring match in this night instead of being MOTD  Maybe it will be the most boring match tonight. Because the two teams here are strong and no one is interested in losing points. So both teams can play defensively. We have seen that in the Champions League before. We hope the matches of the strong teams will be very competitive, but these matches are not enjoyable. Still, I would expect aggressive gameplay from Liverpool today. Their team is in a very good position now. |

I have to say Bayern is an interesting team. Before this match, they lose to a small team and the day after they win with such a huge margin none can expect. I have to say that Bayern's loss against Frankfurt was kind of a slip but its clear on the pitch that they are hungrier than ever. Even I didn't expect Leverkusen to concede 5 goals in this match against Bayern as they are having a good season so far instead I though that Bayern might have a challenge winning this one. Overall congrats to Bayern for this huge win. It was a good team-performance from them.
Bayern munchen really showed their capacity as a big team in that match, even though they lost in the previous match but they were able to bounce back and even destroy the leverkusen with a landslide score, to be honest I didn't expect that leverkusen which looked very superior in the previous few matches looked so great weak when they have to face Bayern Munich in a match which I think is quite important for Leverkusen to be at the top of the standings. That is true. I somewhat expected Leverkusen to give a fight, both in the match and in the title run. But after this huge loss, their morale will be severely effected. Bayern has once again proved why they are the best team in Germany for a long time. Also, Lewandowski is a contender for the Ballon d' or so that's also a good thing. Overall if you exclude the Frankfurt match, Bayern is looking fierce this season, both in the Champions League and the German League itself. |

The Derby D'Italia (Inter - Juve) will be an interesting match. Juventus who are on fire will face a team who are trying to keep their chances of winning Serie A this season with their new coach. As for Juventus, the victory against Roma, is still not enough to shift Lazio's position because they lost the match. Victory over Inter will open up opportunities for Juventus to be in 3rd place in the standings, If Roma, Atalanta, Lazio failed to get 3 points.
This will be one of the best matches of the week for sure. Juventus are back on the track and won a tough game against Roma 1-0. Inter are 3rd on the table and are behind 7 points of the league leaders. It's only the beginning of the season so will be optimistic for a title shot. Even after Juventus started the season badly, they are 10 points behind Napoli. Which means this match against Inter is a very important one for them. Although I doubt that all Roma, Atalanta, Lazio will lose points but I'm glad that Juventus are back on the winning track. Hoping for an enjoyable match. |

Leipzig, who finished second in the points table last season, is in dire straits this season. With 11 points from 8 matches, they are the eighth team in the points table. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, scored full points in their first four matches. They have lost 3 of the last 4 matches and drawn one. If they could keep up the consistency of the performance, they would be in the title fight this season. Leverkusen and Dortmund are battling for the title this season. It will not be easy for Bayern Munich to dominate this season.

Besiktas and Fenerbahce lost their last match. While Fenerbahce's defeat was accepted, but Besiktas' defeat was totally unexpected. They conceded three goals against Basaksehir who is at the bottom of the points table. This is very embarrassing. Trabzonspor is playing very well. By defeating the Fenerbahce team, they proved that they have all the qualifications to win the title.
Trabzonspor's performance this season is outstanding. They were fourth in the points table the previous season. They were 13 points behind Besiktas at the top of the points table. They have been performing very well since the beginning of this season. So far they have played 9 matches but have not lost a single match. However, they have drawn 3 matches. From this matches they could easily get 3 points. They had to perform more carefully to win the title. |

Mm most people expected to see Bayern winning but can I say that literally no one excepted to see Leverkusen getting knocked by 5 goals? 4 of them in less than 8 minutes?? I can understand such result against weak teams but vs Leverkusen...
Yes, it was a real shock. Before the match, I assumed that Bayern was overvalued and Bayer was able to make some kind of competition, but after that ten minutes when Bayer received 4 goals, it was all over. I hope this can be attributed to an accidental failure than to the fact that Bayern is so much stronger than any of its competitors, I would not want the German championship to be as boring as France. I think this match will be an exciting match for us to watch, but in fact leverkusen played like not the team that challenged the champion this season against bayern munchen, before the match started I bet for a draw for both teams, but in fact bayern munchen beat leverkusen very much easy and I didn't even think that Leverkusen would give up with a score of 5-1 against Bayern Munich. looks like this victory will further secure the path of champion for bayern munchen this season. I have to say Bayern is an interesting team. Before this match, they lose to a small team and the day after they win with such a huge margin none can expect. I have to say that Bayern's loss against Frankfurt was kind of a slip but its clear on the pitch that they are hungrier than ever.

Overall congrats to Bayern for this huge win. It was a good team-performance from them. |

Harry Kane and Heung Min Son scored today. Although the match was won 3-2. Tottenham have conceded two goals against a weaker side like Newcastle. Still I'm happy because Son and Kane are probably back in form. Tottenham's key players are Kane and Son. The team relies heavily on these two players to score goals. When they return to form the team will actually be much stronger. Tottenahm's position in the points table is now above that of Manchester United.

So, a Norrie Basilashvili final today, as most people expected. I did think Fritz was one step too far, even if home fervour carried him a lot. The Georgian guy, if he wins, is going to be a national hero... I don't feel bad putting money on him today for a straight set.
Too late for me to watch though, another morning wakeup to see how it went.
The Indian Wells tournament has been very weird. No top players in the finals. With players like Medvedev, Zverev being on good form, I expected at least one of them in the finals if not two. But it is what it is and to be honest, I don't know who to support in the finals. It's a match between 26 ranked players and 36 ranked players. I'm not sure but maybe Norrie might have an edge in the finals but let's see. |

Hoffenheim has been playing very aggressively this season and has been able to score a lot of goals. But their team is not stable. Coordination between players is low. Hoffenheim have won just three of 8 matches, but they have scored 17 goals. Where a team like Wolfsburg has scored only 9 goals in 7 matches. And Dortmund have scored 19 goals. If Hoffenheim can make their defense a little stronger and change their game strategy a little bit, they will be stronger. And I wouldn't be surprised if they made it into the top 5 in the points table.
I don't think Hoffenheim has the potential to be in the top five. This is because the Union Berlin, Wolfsburg, Leipzig and Gladbach teams are no less powerful than Hoffenheim. However, Hoffenheim's performance is very commendable. Their forward players are playing very well. Particularly impressive are the performances of Andrej Kramric, Christoph Baumgartner and Jacob Bruun Larsen. Kramaric has scored 1 goal and 6 assists this season. Baumgartner and Jacob both scored three goals each. |

Poland is a favorite to qualify even with a draw tonight, I feel they will win but it would be a huge surprise if Albania manages to beat them today. I can't wait for the game to start, I will bet heavily as well - on Poland, unfortunately.
I think it is safe to bet on Poland. The matter can be easily understood by looking at the last few matches of Poland. Poland has scored 17 goals in their last four matches. They managed to draw the match 1-1 with strong England. The players are in perfect form and their morale is very strong. Strong morale is very necessary to win the match. Poland will also win today's match. Lewandowski is in good form. I believe he can score today and give Poland a win. |

Another positive factor for Chelsea is that Werner has developed very well in the German national team and has become extremely goal-threatening and assertive again since the change of coach. Should he also be able to continue this form to Chelsea, then I see an ideal forward pair with Lukaku. Werner a fast, less and technically strong player. And Lukaku the brawny, assertive and extremely present player.
Timo has been playing exceptionally well for Germany lately. Germany always had the vacancy for a good striker after Miroslav Klose and maybe Timo Werner is the perfect successor for them. I hope that he can hold onto his form in Chelsea. His first season was not that good but recently he has got the form needed and let's see how long he can play at his best. The combination of in-form Lukaku and Timo Werner up front assisted by Kante, Mount, Havertz, and Ziyech could be very deadly for Chelsea. |

Dortmund continue to win in the absence of Erling Haaland due to an injury. First, they defeated Sporting by 1-0. After that, they defeated Augsburg by 2-1. And the next competitor is Mainz. This is even a more difficult competitor for Dortmund. And Haaland is still not expected to play seemingly. Mainz had a good start to the season and they are competing well against big teams also. Leverkusen were able to score only one goal against Mainz even though they won the game. As a result, it seems like we can witness another win by one goal which is for Dortmund this time.
Dortmund has proven that they can win even without Haaland's presence. so I'm also optimistic that Dortmund can win against Mainz. Moreover Mainz played badly in 3 matches in the Bundesliga, which Mainz only managed to get one point in the last 3 matches. But I agree don't let Dortmund underestimate Mainz, because a team as big as Leverkusen that has a good striker, only managed to score one goal against Mainz. As long as Dortmund play their best player available now, and also be careful against Mainz, Dortmund should have won the game against Mainz. I don't think Mainz will give that of a hard time to Dortmund. Dortmund's scoring hasn't been the biggest of problems without Haaland. Bellingham has been playing exceptionally well in the midfield and the table shows that Mainz has only been able to score 7 times in their 7 games in the league. So as long as Dortmund can keep their defense structured and don't concede a goal, they should be able to win the match. |

Surely they need to try after having defeat like this against Bologna but Inter is not good side which are going to allow them for any better result because they are in full form, and they are also hunting for some good results as they already at third spot, and they're both opponents for title having easy matches in this round if they lost then surely It's going to hurt them more.
In Juventus vs Roma it's also good match and Roma away form is not good because they already lose two matches recently Juventus is doing some good recently, so it's right now in favour of Juventus but still a tricky match for both sides.
Juventus is on the way to recovery and restoration of its former positions at the head of the standings, another question is that this is a gradual process and there may be some difficulties on the way, especially since the current Roma is higher in the table and also wants to rise higher in the leadership group. Therefore, I will not be surprised by a draw with a minimum score of 1-1. Inter seems to have scored a good move and it seems like it should not at least lose to Lazio, especially since the current Lazio does not look like a favorite in this match despite the status of the host of the meeting and the Romans also miss a lot in recent matches, so either Inter wins or a productive draw. Juventus had a horrible start to the season but now they seem to be back on track. They have won their last 3 matches in a row without Morata and Dybala and I'm not sure if Dybala will be available for the Roma match. In that case, that match might be a low-scoring game and if Mourinho plays park the bus, that will most certainly will be a draw in the end. About the Inter vs Lazio match, I think that Inter will win it. They have been scoring a lot of goals in the league and Lazio should not be a big problem for them. |
