Are Pogba and Chiesa Injured again now because as far as I know in the last week they were seen training with the team and of course this made them a little brighter. I don't really follow this but if they do get injured again it will be a blow for Juventus. Dusan is the latest I know he's been in the recovery like any other injured player. That's incredible! Not only many injuries but many of them should be in the starting eleven list of most games. Injuries that Juve have explain partially their low performance, they got used to them there  For the other games this weekend, Napoli has the hardest one imo vs Sassuolo. The other teams shouldn't have a problem to get 3 points. |

Now quick pick for the game today, highlighted in green are my picks
Crystal Palace FC(1.97) VS Southampton FC(4.00)
Brighton & Hove Albion FC(3.10) VS Chelsea FC(2.34)
Newcastle United FC(1.81) VS Aston Villa FC(4.40)
Brentford FC(2.22) VS Wolverhampton Wanderers FC(3.30)
Newcastle is playing good lately, they are playing home too so I assume they will win that game vs Aston Villa. Brighton - Chelsea is an interesting match and Chelsea is favourite thanks to its recent form although playing away. Nothing special for the other games imo. There is Liverpool - Leeds match that should end with Liverpool victory or else it will be a disaster for Klopp after Nottingham defeat. |

Blockchain.com is a popular site although I believe it dropped a bit comparing to the previous years. They reported a big number of people willing to order the card! In a Yahoo Finance interview, Blockchain.com CEO Peter Smith said the card already had 50,000 signed onto a waiting list There is also BitOasis and FTX that launched the VISA crypto friendly card in the same period which is a good news too. The only drawback is the limited number of countries accepted! |

West Ham is unstoppable in the confrence league and is just dominating and this is their fifth win in a row in the group. I think with how they are playing they are the main favorites currently to win the trophy. Silkeborg and Anderlecht are still fighting for that second spot and still time to decide who will advance.
The level of EPL is good at the point that West Ham, although being weaker than the previous year, is dominating its group and secured a place to the next stage early. Most groups have wait for the final round to know the first place holders. Başakşehir lost the game but they are still in first place. Danijel Aleksic scored again, he's playing wonderful in European competitions. Başakşehir got the lead but couldn't hold on to that score. Fiorentina made a comeback with Luka Jovic. Now the last gameday will be the decider. Başakşehir has the leverage because of first game which was 3-0 win for them. Normally everybody expect Fiorentina to advance from this group but Başakşehir performed really good in first four games. This loss may be a huge blow for them if they can't beat Hearts in last match.
Fiorentina isn't the same as the previous season. Their results in Serie A aren't that good and they are ranked 14 there.. They won today vs Başakşehir because başakşehir players couldn't maintain the lead for long.. In the last round, Fiorentina have easier game vs RFS so başakşehir should win their game vs Hearts to maintain the first place. |

It was a pleasure to see PSG at work this week. They now also have a good coach who can get along well with his players. You see a lot more fun with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. To score 7 goals is quite decent, even if they didn't play against a very strong team. They are the big favorite for the title in my opinion, but there are more teams. Last year they also had great opportunities but they had a lot of bad luck against Real Madrid. I don't see them winning this year but you don't know, the ball is round. And how do we actually measure Bayern Munich this season? In the competition it is mediocre, but in the CL everything has been won against Inter and Barcelona so far. A nice outsider for the title would be Napoli.
The Champions League title will be hard to obtain this season. Most favourite teams form is quite similar and a surprising defeat will occur at any moment. I am curious about Group D and the ranking of some teams but also about the face to face between the 16 teams. I think City, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern will keep moving unless facing each others. For Napoli I don't think they will go very far although they have a good performance this season. |

Liverpool is a team that can win or lose against anyone at any time. There's nothing to say about that. They lost to the number last last week and the week before they beat Manchester City. I don't really know why it is not going well for Liverpool in the competition, because in the CL things are going well and they are qualified for the next round. Losing finalist last year. Mane has left but that cannot possibly be the problem of this form crisis in the competition? They will really have to win many games in a row to be able to compete in the title fight. And how will United do this season? It can still go either way with the United team.
Players performance this season was lower than the previous one. Mane was a key player for Liverpool indeed but his absence shouldn't make the team very instable. They didn't find a player who could fit in his place nor the right tactic to hide it imo. For Champions League, of course they could pass, Ajax isn't doing good and Rangers were low. They passed 2nd and if they were in another group like Group C, instead of Plzen, they would be eliminated. |

Good to see Ronaldo back on the score sheet, Manchester United is now comfortable as they have made the goals 3:0.
With few minutes left before the final whistle, I think as a fan of Ronaldo and a supporter of Manchester United, this is one of the best performance of United since coming to the Europa League this season, 8 shots on target for United, 65% against 25% ball possession, 7 corner kicks and lots more indeed Ten hag and Manchester United deserves this victory they got this night.
CR7 said he is ready and back to his form then scored a goal. It is nice, hopefully he will be able to boost ManU in the upcoming games whether in EL or EPL. The situation was different for Arsenal, they were defeated with 2 goals although winning by 1 goal days ago vs PSV.. So far, Betis, USG, Freiburg passed to the next stage. The other teams didn't secured yet a pass |

Ten Hag is a good coach, but he needs time to manage a team. The first few games were at a low level, but the last few games have improved considerably. If he's got it on track now, he'll have done it pretty quickly. His predecessors couldn't even do it in an entire season. But we are not there yet, Ten Hag should not have a relapse with this team and in fact the season is only successful if they have enforced Champions League qualification.
Ten Hag started the season awfully that I was pretty sure he will get sacked if he didn't start winning or else the team will be hovering around the relegation zone. What made Ten Hag successful is the fact that he made the decision to let untouched players in the benches. Previously players like Maguire were playing games even if they weren't fit and regardless of the infinite amount of mistakes made by them. It is whether you are ready to play or stay out of the field until you are ready. |

I don't think Real Madrid will be open to bringing Ronaldo back to the club as a player, probably on a managerial challenge. The fact that's he's old and not as strong as he used to be gives a scare to other top teams especially now that his spell at United has not being better a lot now depends on his output currenctly at his club. The best option for Ronaldo now is moving to the MLS or Asian league.
Perez will never accept a player that left Real Madrid like that and that wasn't loyal to the team, even if the player is CR7. I am even worried that he might not accept to bring Mbappe to Real Madrid. I can expect everything from him. For CR7, he better go to MLS imo if he wants to get money and success. He can move to a Saudi or another team from that region but other than money, he will not earn anything tho. |

Barcelona will play this week at Valencia, on paper certainly not an easy opponent in an away game. And Barcelona have to chase Real Madrid, which plays a home game against Girona. It is far too early to say that the championship has been decided, Real Madrid's lead is minimal and the Barcelona - Real Madrid match has yet to be played. The match in Madrid was lost without a chance for Barcelona. I think Atletico Madrid will get an easy 3rd place. I also see Barcelona getting a big setback, but Real Madrid is too good to have a form dip. They have so much class that individual players can always save that team.
Barcelona is annoying for Real Madrid this season for sure even though people are trending that they have the worst 50 matches played under his management when they compare him to Koeman and the others. The repetitive failure to defeat Bayern in Champions League and the move to Europa League might have a negative effect on the team but I still believe they can do it! |

From the rumors circulating, Tottenham's mainstay player Heung Min Son is in demand by the Spanish giants, Real Madrid. What I'm asking is whether Tottenham will let go of the players they rely on every season? honestly i doubt about it. while Real Madrid reportedly want to bring him to strengthen them. Heung Min Son's contract expires in 2025 at Tottenham, and I see him still at home.
Yeah this news is being on media, would say news rather than rumours since Son mentioned his intention to diversify his career and his ambition to play for bigger clubs. I don't know but I feel that he could fit in Bayern more than Real Madrid. Now whether he will stay in Spurs or not in the next months, that's hard to say since Spurs don't let their players leave that easily.. |

Not nearly anymore but definitely entering the Europa League where Arsenal and Man United are ready to welcome Barcelona.  Atletico Madrid and Juventus maybe/probably too... Atletico is losing so they have a big possibility. Juve might go to Europa League with 1 victory and 5 defeats  unless PSG aren't fit that day. The amount of memes created these days about Barcelona being defeated by Bayern and moving to EL is hilarious. The other funny part is that Bayern wouldn't stop their machine even when they were leading by 2 goals in the over time, they just added the 3rd goal lol. So in EL, we will / might have, Barcelona, ATM, Ajax, Donetsk, Sevilla and Juve. For the group E, we might see one of Milan or Salzburg? In group D, the situation is very complicated. |

It was shocking to have seen the scoreline for the Real Madrid game. Of Al the teams I could be comfortable seeing them lose, Real Madrid wasn't one of them but, this is football right.
I think it's more about the fact that these teams are qualified. There isn't much sense in putting too much effort to earn points that won't matter much and maybe have your players sustain some injury that might keep your players on the bench.
Manchester City seemed a lot more better to have managed a draw and shared points with Borussia Dortmund. Erling Haaland got to play against his not so long ago team mates.
There is nothing to be shocked for imo. Real Madrid lacks some key players, they already secured the participation in the next stage and they want to save injuries too. Besides, they will play vs Celtic next round so it is almost a win which means the first place is quite guaranteed! |

here we go... new rumors about cr7 according to 'the sun' the italian club napoli is reportedly still interested in manchester utd's Cristiano Ronaldo and could lure him back to serie a -snip- Actually, I have no idea how Cristiano Ronaldo can perform at Napoli and I have some questions in my mind but now I think Ronaldo should leave Manchester United as soon as possible because it is really sad to see such a world star on the bench... Also, he continues his unpleasant behavior as long as he stays there. He was warned for leaving the field early in the friendly match played against Vallecano before the season. He did the same thing for the second time this season against Tottenham. In short, Manchester United are not a happy home for him in the current circumstances...  He is just ruining his reputation by doing that childish moves. He is protesting in his way but that piss the coach and the management, probably his teammates and some fans.... Whether he will move or not will depend from the demands and what they offers. Until now the decision to let him go is done whenever possible. For him, it would be clever to go to USA for example rather than staying in the benches in Europe. |

since Tottenham's defeat to newcastle, pochettino has been rumored to be replacing Conte's position at tottenham but I'm sure it's just a normal rumor, Tottenham's start to the season has been great but I'm also wondering why their performance has dropped, looks like we have to give Conte time to build his players again.
Spurs before Conte was a joke, a very instable team with silly defeats against weak teams as I recall. Now they improved, yet didn't excelled as many hoped. Comparing to the other teams, Spurs are taking more goals so they have to work to fix that! They failed recently vs ManU and Newcastle, which improved a lot comparing to the previous weeks and the previous season. |

Xavi shouldn't be held accountable if Real Madrid plays very well, if Xavi has like 2.2 points per game type of season and then Real still ends up with better result then it's not his fault, he played as good as hoped for and still lost, that's the verge of being good or bad, over 2.2 and you are a great manager, under 2 and you are at risk, that's how Barcelona type of leader teams are calculated most of the time.
Unfortunately for them, real is playing amazingly, and that means Real could very well be the champion, which won't be that easy to handle but it could still happen, which is why it's going to be alright if they kept Xavi as well.
It should be worth noting that he has a bad win rate if compared to the last 6 managers at Barcelona since 2001 after 50 games. If the win rate keeps low, I think the management will look into it too when considering his future, regardless of how good Real Madrid will be. https://i.imgur.com/aIRXZm0.pngSource I read about that several times and I wouldn't argue with statistics but Xavi made a good work by rebuilding the team. Before him Barcelona was doing horrible football, before Messi departure and just after it under Koeman management. Xavi back then was like the saviour and Barcelona moved forward with him. The situation isn't very good for now but Barcelona kept hovering in the first spots. As far as I remember, Barcelona was like in the 15th spot in the previous year? |

when verona scored a very fast goal in 2 minutes by ceccherini, I doubt Sassuolo can win the match, but I was wrong, Sassuolo were able to turn things around and win with a score of 2-1, it was really a very tight match. Verona is very poor, in the last 5 matches, they have never won.
Verona is no longer the team that is challenging the top teams and beat them from time to time. They are now performing bad to be spotted in the relegation zone.. Only 1 defeat and 2 draws after 11 rounds |

Atletico Madrid are following the Real Madrid - Barcelona duo behind for now. They have really made a big progress in the league on the recent weeks. They didn't lose for five weeks and won four of those games.
Actually they didn't make a good start at first. It was like this season would be even worse for Atletico Madrid. But Simeone has started to make up for that bad start by the recent results. However I still doubt them about being capable of getting points from teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. Because those two teams are at another level compared to the rest of the teams in the league. They aren't unbeatable of course but it is still hard to do so considering their forms.
Simeone is being in ATM for almost 11 years and everything seems fine for the club owners and their fans. He made a lot of progress with them and ATM is playing for the first 4 spots and participating in Champions League. They aren't that great to challenge for the first rank but doing enough to staying as close as possible. |

Unai Emery is really taking charge by November 1. But it is an interesting choice of him to leave Villarreal and decide to start managing Aston Villa instead. I know that Villarreal aren't doing well recently as well but it feels like he would have still been more successful with Villarreal.
Aston Villa are entering a new phase and they reacted very quickly to the manager change. They got a 4-0 win over Brentford right away even before Emery comes here. Emery is one of the special managers and I expect him to do a better job than Gerrard with Aston Villa. Maybe they can finish the season in top 10 this time.
Aston Villa is a good team that annoyed top ones several times. Its problem is inconsistency as most of the teams everywhere. The management changes could make the team better indeed but it might require recruiting some new players to make things move faster and better. |

Nothing to be ashamed of Liverpool didn't plan well to know who they want. Teams like Manchester United planed well, they understand the kind of players that will change the performance of the team. Liverpool are the cause of their problem by allowing Sadio Mane to leave fir Bayern.
Keeping a player while he wants to leave is the worst thing. Many players played horribly when they were forced to stay and their teams ended up by letting them go at any cost. Liverpool made a mistake by making the wage gap big between him and the others, mainly Salah. Now they are suffering a lot.. Could anyone imagining that Newcastle and Fulham are ranked better than Liverpool! |
