I watched a couple of them game last season immediately he was appointed as head coach but they couldn't grab a trophy. So far they've impressed when I think they won't, at most the Europa League Competition.
They've not just had good performance there but also during the domestic league games.
He's  top young coach, touring round the best clubs in Europe, now it's time to share his wisdom and knowledge of the game to other younger players in the game. For them to be this consistent, then they have done well, they've just had a single draw.

 More challenging test would come up next month that would determine if they could go half of the season at the top completely. Winning the Europa League is something I doubt, there are some big clubs dropping out from the Champions League that would cause them lots of problems.
Bayern Leverkusen has been delivering rightly since Alonso took on the managerial mantle, the club has been scoring back to back with improvement in points and the team's performance. They now make the German League tough and they still stand out in most of their games, In the coming months, they'll have to face a fierce battle of striving to maintain their top spot because any derailment will cost them a chance to retain that position.

 The Europa League contest currently and gradually would get tough for them to win but they still have a shot at it. Although a lot of teams are falling from the UCL down to Europa and Leverkusen needs to be fit enough to scale through them if they really want to lift the trophy, there's positivity no doubt but football is unpredictable and no team should be underestimated.

It is obvious that teams who are not in the euro zone or even if they are but not rich as the five big leagues, will not be able to compete all that well. We are talking about a nation that has 30 to 1 ratio on their currency, their finances are not great, the whole champions of the league gets like a few million euro at most, how could you build a team for just a few million euro per year? That's not enough for even one players salary, a single player makes three times that in the clubs that win the title, it's obvious that financial situation is not good with any of these teams.

So what do they have to do? Smart ones will find players, make them play at Europe as much as they can, and sell them, if you get a whole squad showing itself constantly at Europe (doesn't matter if it's conference or europa or UCL but UCL would be better obviously) then other teams will see your player and buy them, get them for 5, sell them for 15, you just made bank. That's a good move these teams should do.
The financial situation of clubs around Europe is one that needs to be remedied, take for instance a club that's just in the basic league and hasn't got a chance to feature in any of the continental contest, their earnings are small, their player rating is way below normal level, that's why these players find it difficult to be known, when they get an opportunity to join the clubs that feature in the European contests, they literally go extra mile to prove their worth to the team and this paves way for better offers.

 No market transaction is taken for granted. It's either you make impact or not and definitely everyone wants to make impact, your earnings will increase and there'll be regard for these players, It'll benefit the team because they actually bought the player at a rate below his standard and then turn back to sell him to teams at a higher rate, that's just the beautiful thing in football business, no player is worthless, he only needs to find himself at the right place at the right time.

Believe it or not, I can assume that Ten Hag is not a coach who can restore Manchester United to the glory that Ferguson created in the past. Ten Hag doesn't have that much capacity and ability and that's also because the squad depth is never as good as it used to be. Eras have changed and Manchester United's dominance in the Premier League has been completed since Fergi retired.

It cannot be denied that Manchester City is a team that will continue its dominance because of its financial strength and the ability of its coach. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea will certainly struggle to stop this dominance, but Manchester United doesn't seem to have the ability to do so. Manchester City may fail to defend their title, but we have got proof that they can dominate so far.
Well he might not be as good as Sir Alex Ferguson, but he really tried upon his arrival to the club and helped them to get into the Champions League by finishing 3rd place in the standings, like you said the squad depth is not as good as it used to be, due to several reason especially the injury crisis they experienced at the early stages of the season up till this moment, i believe if they could work on their squad depth and give the manager the rightful players he need, then their could be an improvement.

 To be honest, Manchester City were really blessed to have Pep Guardiola as their manager as well as wealthy owners that are ever ready to back him up financially to help him succeed, however i think their dominance would come to an end very soon cause other teams are ready trying to strengthen their team and meet up the standards of City.

 Its my reason why not happy with international break out and have many players return the club with injury condition, after Camavinga and right now Vinicius Jr have been injury and out from Brazil squad for upcoming match against Argentina. Still not confirmed yet from The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) how many weeks Vinicius jr have be absent exactly have many crucial matches for Real Madrid in La Liga and UEFA Champion League. Recently, Madrid have loss Camavinga after getting injured and out from France squad, have official confirmed with possibility Camavinga absent until January next year and he will absent on many matches.

In international break out, Real Madrid have internal problem with England national team after Jude Bellingham push have to play for England on qualifier round regarding he still on injury condition with Real Madrid. Left one match for international break out and hope there are not any Real Madrid player have get injury again.
International break hasn't been favourable to Madrid in the past few days, first it was Camavinga and next Vinicius Jnr, the coach would be really need to be proactive in proferring a solution for the players that'd be absent due to injuries, both players are key to Real Madrid's squad and the fact that they were fit before the break is the saddest.

 Sometimes a coach would wish that his players don't go on international breaks because there's been many more stories of this kind of scenarios but it can't be stopped, only a remedy has to be put in place.

 We believe both players would receive treatment and get back to the pitch in due time. Injury either before or during international break tend to affect either the national team or the club,
Madrid has stars and Ancelloti won't have a difficult time finding a replacemet, It is safe to say that there's always a backup for every shot 1 player Real Madrid has.

I'm pretty sure that Xabi Alonso's focus so far is only on finishing in the top four of the Bundesliga, because after all their current rivals Bayern Munich are on fire. Actually, it is not much different from Leverkusen, especially since Leverkusen is at the top of the standings even though it is only 2 points above Bayern Munich. It's just that my question is, how long will they be able to perform consistently throughout this season. Well, for me, this is homework for the Leverkusen coach. The point is, it will not be easy to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, where even Thomas Thuchel's squad seems to appear more aggressive than at the start of the season.

So as I said, ideally if Leverkusen finished in the top four of the Bundesliga it would be an extraordinary achievement for Xabi Alonso and his squad. If in the end they are able to break Bayern's dominance, I think they will be very lucky. why, yep because this team is not as competitive as Bayern.
Talking about the Europa League competition, we can be sure that this team will qualify as winners of Group H.
Next, we will see their progress through match after match. and if Alonso targets this competition trophy, they have a chance of doing so. However, based on strength, performance and team depth, Leverkusen has experienced very significant improvements. As for their defeat against Roma, that match was the funniest and most annoying match. we both know how the match goes. This season, Leverkusen has several newcomers, pure strikers who can be relied on. plus, the players are productive. The question is, how far Alonso is targeting or focusing on the Europa League competition. The answer is, we will find out through match after match that they will play.
Top 4 spot is one thing Xabi Alonso is really gunning for with his Leverkusen side and not just that but probably get the league’s position, yes Bayern Munich who we know as the kings of the German league are really on their toes but we can’t take credits away from Xabi’s Bayern Leverkusen, they’re in the Europa League and will probably be gunning for that tilte too.

 I think they’ve learnt from past mistakes in Europe last season and are now a better team, Let’s see if they’ll be able to give Bayern Munich a fight for the league, It’ll really be an interesting season if they’ll maintain this form till the end, however chances of them doing that is possible given that Borrusia Dortmund maintained consistency and almost won the league in the previous season.
 
 As for the Europa League i think their good performance would affect them in their group in the Europa and they’ll do very well and also qualify for the next round.

So true and betting after the official line up to be release. We shall not try to rush it. Having lots of injured players are also reducing the chances of PSG to win the game against monaco. Monaco was one of strong team. This match will help the winner to create the gap against its competitors.
PSG will be struggling when it will be against monaco. In fact, monaco is also trying so hard to defend its position to stay at the top place. It's unacceptable for monaco to lose against PSG. The club just needs to use the defensive strategy.

This will be helping the club so much. I don't really put PSG as the favorite here but mbappe probably will become the savior for PSG again. I can't imagine when PSG will have no him on its side.
It will probably affecting the performance of PSG. Three points are the main target by PSG and monaco. Let's see whether monaco can prevent PSG to get three points.
Draw is not that bad too but i hope that will not happen.
When the international break comes to an end and we resume on our league games, PSG will be taking on Monaco which are a pretty good side this season currently in the league, the injuries at PSG is something worrisome and could give Monaco a high advantage coming into this fixture, PSG and Monaco games proves to be a top one and any team who gets all 3 points from this encounter will come oit clear as league leaders over a period of time.

 Much hopes should not be put on this PSG side because they literally depend on their star man, Mbappe to always save the day for them but what happens if he doesn’t turn up? Well let’s see the whole entertainments of the match and know what this match holds for us, a draw is an option that seems pretty cool but we pray we get a winner who comes out top of this encounter.

Bayern is one of strongest team this season. It has a very strong club and adding kane to the line up made bayern is very strong. kane has been also recording fantastic result by making 17 goals from 13 games. that's unbelievable result. This can be more once kane will be fully adapted to the club.
People who said that bayern will not be able to go to the final was not even aware if bayern is far stronger than last season. it has muller and kane. These guys are also good combination at this moment. Leroy sane was still there too.
It doesn't even make sense to see how people called bayern will not be able to go to the semi final.

We must also aware with the quality owned by any clubs based on their line up. We can correctly predict which club that will be going to the semi final. The most potential clubs will be 1. real madrid 2. Man city 3. Bayern.
I was even valuing barcleona under those clubs. People who regularly watched UCL agreed that if those clubs are regularly playing in UCL.
Bayern, man city and rela madrid are always always able to passing the group stage as well as top 16.
Bayern Munich are a very good side and they don’t need to prove that really much because they do that regularly across Europe, the addition of Kane to the squad was more like a missing piece to the really good team; Kane has been a great goal poacher and currently sits top as goal scorer across Europe, anď i beieve he would win the golden boot in the Bundesliga this season.

 They’re a team to watch out for in this year’s UCL and yes they’ll make it to the semis and probably the finals, the team has a good quality and squad depth that could bang in close to 3+ goals in a single match and that’s the quality of top teams, Credits should be given to Thomas Tuchel for building a team no one wants to play against

If we talk about the Tottenham squad, as I often said in previous posts. I said, gradually this team will be shifted from the top of the standings. That doesn't mean I underestimate Spurs. However, there are many things that I can conclude based on analysis and research. although in reality, the probability that I have does not determine any truth. but in the end, the Spurs experienced two consecutive defeats. in the first defeat, it was very unpleasant for Ange Postecoglou as the coach of this team.
In this thread, I will not discuss Kane. after all, he had chosen to leave with Bayern Munich.

Well, for another point, it seems like the idea you are saying is quite reasonable, if Postecoglou needs to bring in several newcomers. unfortunately, we know very well how Levy is. He is known as a president who is stingy in bringing in new players, especially those targeted by the coach at quite high prices. But we'll see in January what the coach and Spurs club management will do. For other points, more precisely, only two teams are quite ready, namely City and Arsenal. for Liverpool, at least they will finish in the top four of the Premier League. However, it would be better if we just enjoy every match that this League presents. Regarding which team is consistent and wins trophies, let time tell.
This Tottenham side since the defeat to Chelsea had gone through lots of setbacks, injury and red cards and that has caused a shift from top position to them sitting 4th on the standings, this doesn’t reduce the team’s capacity but is an eye opener to them that squad depth is really needed rather than depending on 2-3 key players.

 Funny enough the President might not be releasing funds for players purchase by January and that will be a huge task for Agne to deal with, Manchester City though aren’t even in top form but they seem they want to get the league and we can’t take our eyes off Arsenal’s fighting spirit too, Liverpool could pose serious threat too, Let’s see what this year’s league experience holds for us.

With this result Italy has just open their opportunities to qualified and because they good from head to head statistics from Ukraine then Italy can able to occupy second place under England and if i am not mistaken Italy also more comfortable for the match against Ukraine later because draw result is enough for them to finish at second place under England and qualified to Euro 2024

On the other hand at group E Albania only able to playing draw against Moldova and this is dissapoint result because in the first half Albania can leading the game but because Moldova player Baboglo can equalized the score then both teams have to satisfied to get 1 point each but Albania chances to qualified is still wide open especially after Poland only can able to gets draw result Czech and for Poland finally their journey have to ended that they were through an 8 matches with only collect 11 points which make they were unable to qualified
Italy boosted their chances of making EURO 2024 with a 5-2 win over North Macedonia, they played very impressiveĺy and the match was so interesting to watch, the massive win put Luciano Spalletti’s side into second place in Group C and means they now only need a draw against Ukraine in Leverkusen to avoid another dreaded play-off.

Albania stands a high chance of qualifying despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Moldova, Czech Republic’s draw put an end to Poland’s hope of going through to the tournament, this year’s EURO qualifiers are ending pretty early with us knowing our finalist early and it’s pretty chilled and will give the teams more room for rotation in their last round of matches

Its hard for me not to feel sorry for Everton right now. Its hard to see a team get punished so badly for making mistakes with money. It feels like all of their hard work for those 14 points has been wasted now that 10 points have been taken away. I get the need for rules, but this seems a bit harsh, especially when you hear that bigger clubs like Manchester City are also being investigated in the same way but arent facing any instant consequences. Seriously, I hope Everton can get through this rough patch.

In the second line, its clear that things are very bad for Everton. They really suffered when they fell into the relegation zone, especially since they were doing pretty well before the penalty. As they try to get back points against both strong and weak teams, it will be hard for them. I just hope that they can keep going and find the strength to do so. These events could either break them or make them better as a team. It will be clear in due time.
Everton have been docked 10 points, the heaviest punishment ever handed to any EPL side, for breaching financial rules, leading them down to the relegation zone of the EPL log, the severity of the punishment surprised Everton, who feel a sporting sanction for what they believe is a disagreement over accountancy interpretations is unjust and they would want to appeal, the decision has put into focus other Premier League clubs  investigations and how those clubs will be dealt with if also found guilty.

 Both Manchester City and Chelsea are being tried and could face more worst sanctions than that of Everton, well with this crazy sanction, I think it could kill the morale of the team and make them struggle more because this is so heartbreaking but the team needs to play with hopes of the verdict being overturned.

Some of the fans are concluding based on emotions, which is very wrong because emotions can never lead you to say the truth. But truth be told, Manchester United is too big for Ten Hag, which is why he is not able to put things in place to bring the best result for Manchester United; some fans were able to understand, while others are still arguing blindly that he is a good coach that will bring victory back to Old Trafford.

Ten Hag actually tried last season to win a trophy for United, but his thinking ability as a coach is not world-class thinking because, from his way of substitution, he is not proving himself as world-class coach due to some errors he does make, which he usually refers to as tactics whenever he is doing his post-match conference. Manchester United need to sack Ten Hag for them to become the world-class team they used to be.
I don't think you're right when you said the team is too big for Erik Ten Hag, cause same person managed them last season, qualified for the UCL, won the Caraboa Cup,  played the FA Cup final, so if the club was big for him like you claimed do you think the club would had gone that far under him, we've not even talked about the good record he had at Old Trafford last season, Erik Ten Hag might have been wrong with his choices of decision several times this season but the problem is not generally from him and fans should learn to understand that.

 I think he's really affected by the general crisis affecting the club, from the injury crisis to sale process, to the issues with Sancho and several other players, what he needs is time to get them to start doing better and I believe they'll bounce back sooner or later, sacking Ten Hag might not change anything if the Glaziers are still in charge of handling the sporting activities of the club.
2492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 17, 2023, 10:09:10 PM

Ferguson's impact in Manchester united can never be comparable as he has left a very big record that might be very difficult for any coach to break in Manchester united. Manchester united pattern of football eventually changed after Ferguson's exit from Manchester united. They've been struggling from one coach to another but none has been able to break the dead luck that has besieged the club for some years now. I think Manchester united needs a coach that can have almost same coaching experience Ferguson had during his coaching career for the club.

United's management needs to do something very fast to aid Manchester united performance as the club might really be paving their way to relegation and it will be very sad that a reputable club that has recorded lots of success in England will peradventure drop to relegation due to poor performance.
It would be very difficult for any coach to attain the record of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, especially wih the way it's poorly run currently by the Glaziers, they make it very difficult for most of the coaches that came after Ferguson to succeed in their 2nd tenure, by refusing to provide enough funds to strength the team, they did it with Mourinho, Ole and currently Erik Ten Hag, since Ferguson's departure the only coach that's almost break the dead luck was Jose Mourinho who finished 2nd position.

 However upon the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe to take over the sporting affairs of the club and the departure of several incompetent executives have left the club maybe we could witness a reformation in the team before the end of this season they could probably go back to winning ways.

Group A of UEFA EURO qualifier is not really surprising or exciting yet due Scotland and Spain have been qualify to EURO 2024 despite Scotland have got draw last match from Georgia opponent national team. Have one match left in this group and looks Spain are favorite team will finish on first standings position behind two points remaining from Scotland on current position awhile.
In Group J have been clearly Portugal and Slovakia are teams qualified to EURO 2024, last teams in this group Slovakia have 5 points left behind Luxembourg and its can't catch any more with one match left.  I think still excited with Group B between Ukraine and Italy are teams will fighting one slot left after England have been early qualified to EURO. What do you think between Ukraine or Italy which one favorite will play in EURO and have chance Italy as winner last edition must be absent?
The Euro qualifiers game of few days back have some national teams their ticket to the main contest, for Group A, Spain and Scotland battles through Georgia to see Spain fully through into the contest without stress unlike Scotland who still has a game to prove herself. For Group J, Portugal confidently scaled through leaving Luxembourg behind with 5 points to meet up Slovakia which on a norms isn't likely to occur.

 England successfully scaling through in group B leaving behind Ukraine and Italy who will still have to battle it out among themselves, both teams are really tough for each other and that brings more fun to the qualifications stage because Italy would strive to defend their race and Ukraine on the other hand would want to prove their capacity to be in the contest, the final qualifications game would be played much later, and we're eagerly looking forward to it.
2494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 17, 2023, 09:35:54 PM

There is enough time to calculate how that game will go, we do not have to rush into it, there are national teams and we should see how players do at their national team, and some injuries or not etc etc, we do not even know if players will be too tired and they need to get better.

I think with all of that in mind, I believe that we are going to end up with a situation that is going to be pretty difficult to handle, it is not going to be all that easy and we need to remember that we can't make it change all that much, we need to make sure that everything stays the same as much as possible, that should be the most important thing.

I understand that we are not going to end up with a situation that has to be. After those national games are over, the odds are clear that PSG will win, just because Monaco managed to win some games they shouldn't, doesn't mean they will do that again.
The game between PSG and Monaco after the international break is a decided one with regard to the quality of players in PSG. Although the international break can cause a lot of after effect on a club, effects that are unpredictable like in the case of Camavinga who got injured during his training session, what if a player gets injured during national assignment? Well, the team and coach would only have to profer a good replacement and make the with the players he has available.

 Tiredness and injury are most likely to occur. We can't task a player to be careful while playing, no one knows how or when it's happen, it's just an effect of the break. So after every break, the squad will be cross checked, there'd be some subtractions and additions as regards the player's conditions and then prepare for the next game, Monaco has been narrowly winning their recent games but I doubt they stand a victory chance against PSG. PSG has the quality of players needed and I believe there'd be extra eagerness to deliver victory.
2495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 17, 2023, 09:30:02 PM
The difference between these two teams is quite far, we can see the difference in points between these two teams is very far, and I think that is a basic conclusion to ascertain about the team that has  a greater chance in the match. Of course as you said that this season Leipzig can perform better and not far from the expectations of their fans, as in the last season they can compete in the top five of the standings with other strong teams like Bayern Munich and Dortmund and now there is no change, in the sense that they have good depth and are quite consistent.

This season there is nothing promising from Wolfsburg, in the last five matches they could not win a single victory, but maybe their advantage is only because they will play at home which means they already control the field and also they will have the full support of their fans which indirectly inevitably they must be able to perform better and maximize their performance at all costs. But on the other hand even though they will play at home, I will not put too much hope on Wolfsburg, because obviously the difference in performance from both teams is enough to be the reason who will win.
Leipzig has been performing well of recent in their league and comparing them to their next encounter, Wolfsburg, they've been far better than them in the ball play, dominance, victory and goal scoring opportunities and abilities, Leipzig now rubs shoulders with the likes of Bayern Munich, Dortmund who are amongst the tough clubs in the league, to say that Wolfsburg may not stand a chance with them is likely a fact because they've been doing less than Leipzig.

 Leipzig does have a big chance against them and their victory in the game won't be surprising because they're the stronger team, Wolfsburg would need to work on themselves more to be able to compete right with Leipzig, but then this is football and anything is possible therefore Leipzig should ball with caution and not underestimate Wolfsburg.

Of course, we cannot ignore Atletico Madrid in this competition. even though they are not a dominant trophy-winning team like these two giant Spanish League clubs, this team's presence in the La Liga competition is always consistent and is included in the top La Liga teams. Atletico Madrid is always capable of finishing in the top four of La Liga, if this team has the finances and loyalty of fans like Madrid and Barcelona throughout the world. Atletico can compete fiercely, with the players they want to bring in. I mean, Atletico could make their squad as competitive as Madrid or Barcelona.

However, this team is still one of the elite teams in the Spanish League. without having too many star players, Atletico has won the La Liga trophy. Apart from that, this team is always able to make things difficult for its two rivals. The proof is, in the first meeting ATM was able to overthrow Real Madrid.  Well, on the second point we agree.  If Barcelona and Madrid underperform in La Liga, ATM has the potential to take advantage of the momentum to win the La Liga trophy. So far, ATM is ranked 4th and they have one match postponed. At any time, it can be useful for them to stick closely to points and even overtake the points of the team above them. and yes, that's what Atletico Madrid is like.
Taking out Atletico for the La Liga title race might be safe but they’re team that have always gotten UCL spot over the past 10-15 years, they’re a pretty top team and have the squad depth to gun foe the Top 4 spot and they do it effortlessly with little or no star players, last time they even won the title is two years ago which makes them a strong competitor and threat to both Realmadrid and Barcelona.

 ATM reall are a team that could pose serious threat to both Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league, they sit in 4th with few points away from Top Spot and they have a game in hand, Atletico are really a top team and a team to watch out for and  they’ve got the quality of being qualified as a top team, and recently they just extended the contract of their manager Simeone who helped transformed them into strong competitors in the Laliga for years now.

Last season when Man City won the Champions League it looked so strong and solid, Pep Guardiola's team was very difficult to beat in any competition last season. But this season they don't look as strong as last season and we can see some of the defeats they faced in the Premier League against clubs that were far below them. This is something to consider when looking at their condition in the domestic league, although we will not try to make predictions solely relying on the quality of their play in the English league.

I still see the opportunity for Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich and AC Milan as strong candidates as teams that will qualify for the semifinals and I want to see Real Madrid who will face Bayern Munich in the final. Hopefully these four teams will not meet each other in the knock-out so that the semifinals and finals will be more competitive and exciting. What do you think about the predicted odds, is there a possibility that Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the final?
Yes they say when you reach your peak and achieve some level of greatness, your thirst and hunger for win will reduce drastically and we can see that in Manchester City style of play, though we could also see the cause as injury on their pivot KDB and red card on Rodri, however the team still got the urge and zeal for success this season and I won't be suprised if they win the league again.

 With the team returning from injuries I think, they’ll become that unbeaten team everyone’s scared to play, these 4 teams are pretty cool but I think Bayern might not get into the semis except they work on being clinical and being tactical in style of play, but I see Real Madrid going quite far in this year’s UCL and probably taking the trophy back to Spain.

Not liked by many people? it's a big no. ronaldo will never become a footballer with the biggest fan base in the world if theer are many who disliked him. In fact, it's not people but UEFA was always dislike him. I don't know what the reason is but UEFA seems always try to deny him.
There was a rumor if al nassr will go to the UEFA champion league but in my opinion if this rumor was not true. There will be conflicts between UEFA and european as they were not allowing non EU team to play in their territorial.
It shall not be called as UEFA champion league anymore. It will be only destroying the reputation of al nassr.

FIFA needs to facilitate that a new competition between european team vs asian team. This will far better rather than force the unnecessary thing to be implemented. This is only triggering many people to hate the club.
I think that rumor related to the politic rather than football.
It’s no news that football governing bodies like UEFA and FIFA all have a different perspective towards Ronaldo and that could be seen as envy and that has shown both in officiating and award ceremonies, there was a rumor to include Saudi Clubs into the UEFA competition. This alone won’t be any sort of an easy task to do.

 It’ll have to cause a  change to the competition’s name except FIFA would create a different competition where both European and Asian teams will be allowed in a football contest, and I doubt if they would do that cause alot of players are already complaining of being  overworked out, which is leading to too much fatigue lately. However, UEFA should come out and clear the air and save Cristiano from his critics in the media.

Crystal Palace? No! He shouldn't swing that way, they may likely be relegated this season if they don't sack the current manager and make some improvements within the dressing room and squad.
For Fulham, since they lost Alexandra Mitrovic to the Saudi's, they've had some difficulties with goals scored. Unlike last season, they created chances and he was there to nod and tap in goals for em. But still, Timo Werner shouldn't swing that way too.

Personally, he's too much of a good and quality player to downgrade himself to these london clubs. Tottenham Hotspur have got no pure number nine in that squad since they lost sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, don't you think Timo Werner would also be a good supporting striker to Son? Son has also been rumoured to be Injured, I don't know what to believe since he said he's fine!
Werner who made his name at Leipzig after joining the newly promoted club ahead of their first ever Bundesliga campaign in 2016 would go on to establish himself as one of Germany's most-feared forwards, netting 28 goals in 34 games in 2019/20 before moving to Chelsea, his move to Chelsea didn’t go as planned as his goal tally reduced drastically though he had a UCL Winner Medal, then he went back to Liepzig.

 This period he rejoined Liepzig has seen him have some worst moments like reduced goal tally and also reduced play time, several Premier League clubs have been in contact and probably a return to London could happen by January with Fulham abd Crystal Palace in the race to sign him, both Crystal Palace and Fulham might not be good destinations for him but I feel Tottenham and West Ham would offer more in terms of European football and team play, Timo has quality and would surely be back on form and fire and an elite European competition should be one of his many priorities.

Fenerbahce have really been in a good form this season compared to last season though they weren't too bad last season as they finished second. This season they need to continue in this great form and for the fact that they've been scoring more goals in most of their matches will really help them alot, for now they are in same points with Galatassary but Fenerbahce is leading them far on goal difference. Teams that tends to score more goals are most likely to win their matches because if you have good forwards that can finish well by scoring goals then there will really be chances of winning matches.
Fenerbahçe is performing very brilliant this season, they really strengthened their squad depth with several players that are experienced with major league tournaments and it's helped them to be successful so far in the league, they really tried to maintain the top of the standings up till week 12 and I believe they'll continue to top even after the international break cause their next match is against Fatih Karagūmrūk who are in the 12th position moreover Fenerbahçe would be playing in their home game.

 They're a very strong league contenders this season and their only threat for the title race is Galatasaray that's sharing same points with them currently, therefore they have to be very careful when they meet Fatih Karagūmrūk after the break so as not to drop points like they did when they drew against Adana Demirspor, also they need to win with a very good margin since they're leading Galatasaray with goal difference.
