In today's match in Italian League Lazio vs Atalanta the match I enjoyed between two teams was amazing. The performance of Lazio team players was good for which Lazio team managed to score 3 goals in this match today. On the other hand Atalanta team scored 2 goals in this match. Atalanta team did not score in this match despite a very good performance. I thought this match would be a draw. But Atalanta team player could not score more than 2 goals so this match was not a draw.
If Lazio had not won today, they would have shared 14-16th place with Verona and Genoa. Even now their points total is terrible and if Roma wins today Lazio will only be in 13th place. But in any case, a victory over Atalanta can serve as a sign that the crisis has been overcome. It is quite interesting that at the end of the round Milan becomes the sole leader; if not for that defeat in the derby, they could have had a 100% result by the 8th round. This is rare in Serie A and Milan is definitely not the team from which you would expect this. |

Arsenal vs Manchester City match is going very hot!
The match is going well but there is a slight biases in some referee’s decisions Kovatic is supposed to sent off by now, but the VAR did not intervene or did not find it worthy.
With all indications, Arsenal can still win this match.
No matter how the game ends, we can confidently say that there will be another scandal. Kovacic could have been sent off in the 29th minute for a tackle from behind that could have caused a serious injury, but let’s just say a yellow card, ok. But five minutes later, Kovacic again crashed into Rice in a tackle, and the replay shows that he did this before he touched the ball = 100% yellow card and removal for two yellow cards. I wouldn’t be surprised if Guardiola replaces him at half-time, but in any case there is already a feeling of unfair refereeing. |

It would be great if we could see the final between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool, right? I know it's still too early because when enter the knockout round everything can change a lot, and in that round teams can't make mistakes that could result in them being eliminated, but if the two favorite teams continue to perform well then this will be an ideal final and very interesting to watch, but I still favor Liverpool to win the European League this season, maybe the feel not the same when winning the champions league but at least it's better because ending the season without a title is very unpleasant.
 I think we won't be able to see Bayern from Leverkusen because they are from Munich  And in fact, the Bayer - Liverpool final would be good, but even if they meet in the 1/8 it will be good too - two games are better than one. As for the final, I would like to see at least Roma there, plus we need to see who will fall into the playoffs from the Champions League. |

Breaking News!Paul Pogba has tested positive for doping following today's test and this means his career is over. Paul Pogba will be banned from playing for a long time and of course he will have to accept this consequence because he has used doping. As a football player he must act professionally in dealing with this problem and must also be responsible for what he has done. Currently, Juventus is certainly also considering the next steps to take for Paul Pogba and it is very likely that Juventus will terminate his contract in the near future. Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1710274757847822640 Sometimes athletes were able to convince the doping commission that their doping was “accidental” or “ignorant.” This is not the end of the story. For now, the medical fact has only been established, and then its circumstances will be considered. If this is found to be doping, then Pogba will receive from two to four years of disqualification and this will be the end of his career. |

It seems that the other players forgot to tell McTominay that they need to wait until Ten Hag is fired before starting to play This idiot came on in the 87th minute of the game and managed to score two goals. However, even though the result is good, I don’t see that the game is changing qualitatively. United were lucky today, but it's not certain that they will be lucky tomorrow, it looks like United is still the team to bet against. |

While everyone is too busy criticizing Manchester United, I prefer to open a discussion about the upcoming match Galatasaray will welcome Bayern Munich and from this match it will be a little difficult to predict, however, Galatasaray cannot be underestimated. After beating Manchester United, the enthusiasm of the Galatasaray players has become higher and it seems will have the ambition to beat Bayern Munich and while Munich is currently in a very strong position leading group A and I am quite sure that even though Galatasaray looks strong it is unlikely they will be able to beat Bayern Munich or at least end in a draw.
Currently, even though Bayern Munich will appear away, the bookies still favor Bayern Munich with odds @1.48
Galatasaray beat United, but this is hardly a great achievement as United lose to anyone from time to time. At the same time, Copenhagen took away a draw from Istanbul. It seems to me that if you look at these results comprehensively, you can conclude that Galatasaray is definitely not a match for Bayern. But I won’t bet on Bayern. 1.48 is too low, Bayern are already comfortably in the lead in the group and they don’t need to strain themselves in every game. |

After the victory over Bochum, I expected that Mönchengladbach would be able to beat Mainz in the same way, but instead of a confident victory, they had to win back and they could have been left without points. For Mainz this is the second draw this season, before that they only had defeats, so Mönchengladbach had to beat such an opponent, apparently it won’t be easy for them this season either...
It's funny that in this game Mainz scored as much as two goals, while in the previous 6 games they scored only 4. An unexpected result but in fact Mönchengladbach are very bad this season so I don’t think many people dared to bet on them yesterday. Today there will be an interesting game between Dortmund and Union, Dortmund's quotes are very generous - 1.69 even taking into account the fact that Dortmund is unstable and Union played very well (last year haha). |

At the moment they are Botman, Estupinan and Gakpo. It seems that all three will be back in action very quickly,
Estupinan is not returning soon, he will miss up to four weeks of action. Hmm... But due to the international break, he may only miss one game (or maybe even none). I don’t take into account tomorrow’s game because I still don’t have the opportunity to make a free transfer. In general, for now I will wait for the end of the tour and see what happens with the other injured players. I think it's too early to change him. |

I think the match of the day in Spanish La Liga will be Real Madrid vs Osasuna. Real Madrid beat Girona last week and became the league leader again. Also, during the week they beat Napoli in the Champions League. They have played important away games both in the league and in the Champions League and they have gone through these games without losing points. We can say that they have been very good in recent weeks. On the other hand, Osasuna are getting inconsistent results. They have been successful in their away games. But they have had bad results in home games. But Real Madrid away will certainly not be easy for them. Real Madrid have had a good wind at their back in recent weeks. I think they will easily beat Osasuna.
In my opinion this will be a boring tour. There will be no epic pairings, plus after the European Cups the clubs will play in an economical mode. Some local rivalries are interesting, such as Girona versus Cadiz (due to the sudden status of Girona). Or Atlético - Sociedad due to the fact that both teams have only one defeat each and are next to each other in the standings. I think that Real will cope with Osasuna at home, and Barcelona will win away at Granada, no surprises. |

Agree. Even the combination of Mbappe + Kolo Muani looks like potentially the best in Europe (and therefore in the world) and I don’t even know what other pair of strikers this duo can be compared with. Dembele has always been inconsistent, but the way he left Barcelona shows that he still has big ambitions and maybe they will help him overcome this and perform well more consistently. So far, PSG is having temporary difficulties, but I continue to believe that the team has greater potential than last year.
And do you guys suggest, Mbappe leaves PSG to another club. If yes, to what club will Mbappe move to. I personally feel Mbappe should exit the PSG by now and move to maybe one of the EP league where he will be faced with more formidable teams like that of Arsenal or Man city. I feel like his being in the PSG is dominating and not necessarily challenging to him. Every player needs that challenge to be able to perform better. And I think that's the same perception that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has over the star players that are migrating the Europe down to the Saudi Pro Leagues and Chinese leagues. In Ibrahimovic's opinion, while talking against the decisions of Ronaldo, Neymar and Karim Benzema having migrated to SPL, saying that Money is not everything. However, that didn't stop them from performing as they are doing well. Although, the reason why they're still maintaining the tempo is because they need to prove even more efforts because of the the amount spent on them and not to lose relevance. Of the real options, there is only one and it is known to everyone - Real. This transfer could have taken place last summer and the previous summer, but PSG poured money into everything (as it turned out in vain) and Mbappe lost another two years in the Parisian swamp. Exotic options may include City. Since City still cannot persuade Haaland to extend his contract, there is a theoretical possibility that Real will lure him instead of Mbappe, but then it will be the most profitable and logical for Mbappe to move to City. |

After Copenhagen beat United at home the logic will be clear I have a suspicion that besides the fact that United itself is weak, some of the players are already interested in changing the coach, so they specifically are not trying to get good results. This theory is supported by the fact that the United management recently supported Ten Hag - I always see such statements when there is a conflict between the team and the coach. And it's not just because 'it's at home'. It's at Old Trafford and United rarely loses at Old Trafford especially vs more inferior squads. It just shows that the club is as in shambles today as it was after Ferguson left. I think in hindsight it would've been better for them to have stuck with Moyes for a couple more years for stability before looking for a high profile manager. I think stability was what Ferguson had in mind when he earmarked Moyes to be his replacement. Moyes did have decent results at Everton at the time. As for the pool I'm happy where I'm at. I could've been a couple of notches higher if I didn't miss one day of picks. :/ It seems to me that even with Solskjaer, United would be doing better, especially if the owners listened to his wishes regarding transfers. He recently said that he offered to buy Haaland, Rice, Bellingham and Caicedo, but his wishes were not heard. Moreover, this was when the price for Haaland’s transfer was only 4.5 million euros (LOL). Solskjaer was able to discern talent and a great future in these players, but unfortunately he was not allowed to realize this. |

Я тоже стал замечать, что что то происходит с впнами. Похоже, что идут действительно какие то тестирования и соответственно система подготавливается. И эти постоянные информационные вбросы от всяких влиятельных людей, которые всегда не случайны, а требуют прежде чем чего то очередное ляпнуть, согласований с ещё большими начальниками. Так что похоже, что все оно к тому идёт. Встаёт вопрос, а как быть при этом с ютубом и инстой, они же тоже попадают, много недовольных может быть  Доброе утро  Инста уже давно в бане. Ютуб последний оплот и судя по тому что многие блогеры начали активно контент на рутубе (где живых людей вообще нет) размещать им за это некисло так занесли (впрочем это не секрет). То что подготовка к бану Ютуба идёт уже пару лет не видит только тот кто новости не читает. Что касается недовольных, то опять потерпят, способов то выразить свое недовольство нет. |

Usually Dembele and Kolo Muani should be able to assist him a lot. If they are all in their best form they can be one of the best attack lines in Europe. But it is easy to anticipate that they will lack consistency. Dembele has never managed to be consistent for more than two months I believe and Kolo Muani has played amazing in Frankfurt, but still owes the proof how he will be doing over the course of a whole season in a club like PSG. The league shouldn't be a problem for him, that is nothing new, but the Champions League as far as I know is new to him and he was pretty bad last game.

~ You know, I was thinking right, so many games in Europa and Conference Leagues, and many big teams there, someone should do a pool for them. Maybe not individually but combined. BSFL style quiz + PotB style 100% football. It sounds like something I would pay for. Or is it too crazy to ask people to play? The only threads with loads of responses in these tournaments are the spam threads  Are polls not enough for you? It seems to me that there are already quite enough of them, at least I even started to forget to make some predictions (like in this poll PotB in the last round). Plus, in my opinion, the Europa League and the Conference League are random competitions where the results will be similar to the results in the lottery. |

Of course, without reliable players who can scored, Real Madrid will have difficulty to get full points in all competitions. Although currently the depth of Real Madrid squad is not too bad, but performance of the second tier players is always unstable. I mean sometimes they have good performance when played, but not always good. Ancelotti will be very confused if Real Madrid reliable player is unavailable because that is key for Real Madrid victory so far.
Besides this, there is another serious problem - Modric and Kroos are not happy with the amount of their playing time. It is obvious that Real does not count on them in the future, so they are gradually becoming bench players, but I am surprised that this causes some tension - was it really not obvious when their contracts were extended that this was already a transition season for them. To be honest, I assumed that this issue had already been settled. |

Crap. I'm tired of getting rid of injured players but their number is not decreasing. At the moment they are Botman, Estupinan and Gakpo. It seems that all three will be back in action very quickly, but when the bench contains literally one healthy player it is annoying.
I'm surprised that my team performs above average (apparently the rest suffer from injuries even more haha).

Checking the games for the next week in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen would face Koln in this week and this can't be a hard game for Xabi Alonso and his team considering the last games we saw from Leverkusen in this season. It's safe to say Leverkusen is not going to lose this place anytime soon and they will win this game against Koln to not give Tichel and Bayern Munich the cache to decrease the gap.  The only thing that confuses me here is the rather generous quotes for Bayer's victory. It may seem that 1.36 is the usual/modest odds, but Bayer is the sole leader and shows an excellent game, and Koln shares last place with Mainz. It may be taken into account here that Bayer had a difficult game with Molde in the Europa League and they will be less rested than Koln. |

Manchester United conceded 14 goals in six matches is not entirely the goalkeeper's responsibility, there are defenders who also have a role in maintaining the defense well, but unfortunately, United's defense is very weak when Varane or Luke Shaw are not playing.
It is impossible for Ten Hag to be on the bench for Andre Onana because replacing him with Manchester United's second goalkeeper might make things worse, what United is currently facing is not a problem in goalkeeping but in all areas, and that is quite unfortunate after last season's performance was better, but since the start of the season they have looked weaker than last season, and losing to Galasataray in the champions league added to the length of their defeat at Old Trafford this season at least they have experienced this 3 times so appearing in front of their fans is not enough to help them perform better, including later against Copenhagen who can provide tough resistance to Bayern Munich, and seeing Manchester United still at the bottom of the rankings is quite sad.
Of these 14 goals, at least two were entirely on Onan's conscience - this is a lot for a distance of 6 games. If we talk about the other goals, it is clear that this is the result of team play, but so far Onana is not “saving” at the last line. He doesn't do anything special, after all he is playing worse so far than De Gea who had bad days (sometimes) but sometimes he saved United and it was only thanks to him that United got points. I think by the way that there is nothing wrong with giving the reserve goalkeeper a chance, if I remember correctly, in the days of Ferguson, after unsuccessful games, the reserve goalkeeper got his chance and the main goalkeeper knew that he must match the level if he wants to always play in the first team. |

 There has been too much discussion about the Arsenal vs Manchester City match this week that many have forgotten that tomorrow Manchester United will compete again, this time the opponent is Brentford. Statistically in H2H Manchester United is ahead with 3 wins and Brenford only managed to win 1x and that too with a landslide score. Looking at the progress of the two teams so far in the standings, of course Manchester United is a little better but they are too bad for a big EPL team. Meanwhile, Brentford, which is a mediocre team, is not surprised that they have had a bad start to the season by sitting in 14th position. I think this will be a battle for 3 points for each team and of course this will be an important match this week for both teams to determine their next position. Will Manchester United succeed in breaking the series of defeats they suffered in the previous match this time, or will Bentford continue to add to the bad record for the Red Devils by beating them at Old Trafford? On the one hand, it’s hard for me to imagine that United will lose another match. On the other hand, there are several factors in favor of this: Brandford rested and prepared for this game, and United wasted energy in the Champions League. But the most important factor that introduces insurmountable uncertainty for me is that it seems that some players deliberately play poorly/do not try because of a conflict with the coach. |

Mourinho got what he needed to get tonight, since he got bad results with his team in the Serie A and had poor performance there, he and his was were under pressure and they needed to get a win and good result to make things better. Today against Servette they won the game with a 4-0 result and players like Lukaku had good performances there and they didn't even use Dybala in this match. However, after the game, Mourinho said he was not happy with the performance of the team at all.  I think Mourinho is happy, but he doesn’t want history to repeat itself when Roma first beat Empoli 7-0 and then lost 1-4 in the next game. There is a game with Cagliari ahead and I think that Roma is still under pressure even in this game - Cagliari is in last place in the standings and everyone expects only victory from Roma. |
