Mbappe brought PSG a lot of extra points. I'm thinking about what would have happened to PSG if Mbappe had been transferred to another team in the summer. Mbappe is playing a great game and PSG is still gaining points thanks to him. Although they are the favorites in the French league, PSG wins the league with an almost equal game, without making a big difference to their opponents. I expected them to win with a big advantage over PSG.

Kylian Mbappé has scored consistently in PSG's last three games. No player is indispensable but the 24-year-old French international is the reason why his club is winning games. Without Mbappé PSG will be an ordinary side if a suitable replacement is not added to the squad. From the outcome of the games in the Ligue One, PSG will not have a smooth ride to win the League this season. Monaco and Nice a putting up some good performances that might undermine the success of the French league champions. It seems the management knows the importance of Mbappé which is why they don't want to let him go easily. PSG's next game is with Montpellier, we will see if Mbappé will extend his goals to four conservative matches.

Paris Saint Germans should have a difficult season if Kylian Mbappe was suspended up till this moment. Despite the signature of attacking players Kylian Mbappe has been the highest goal scorer for Paris Saint Germans too.
They will have a hard time winning the league 1 with this performance. Life in league 1 hasn't been fine as expected for Luis Enrique.
With Kylian Mbappe agitating to leave for Real Madrid next season, they should do better else they'll be no different from any other smaller clubs in league one.
We saw same happenings when Kylian Mbappe won the league with Monaco, before they realize, it's already the end of the season.

After their defeat against Manchester City in the derby last week, Erik Ten Hag as Manchester United coach revealed the reason why he gave Evans as a starter instead of Varane, even though he was also available in the match. Erik ten hag said it was "Tactics" and actually I don't understand what Erik ten hag meant, even though if Varane were to start it's likely their defense would be much stronger.

On the other hand, is it possible that Erik Ten Hag will still save Varane's energy in the next match or be on guard as a starter in the UCL match later. I really don't know what Erik ten Hag meant and still even though he said it was a tactic, in the end they also lost at Old Trafford.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1718908849883902243

Cool, now let's say that the tactics failed and that defense was weak, porous and conceded three goals against Manchester City. That defense c an not be relied on during big games like this, this is why I haven't praised Harry Maguire yet. He had a good game, not part of the problems in that game but he has no chance of success with Manchester United.

Every coach doing well no was given time, even Erik Ten Hag fails this season, he should be backed for better next season, it's just too early to suggest for him to be sacked. They forget too quick and want too much expectations.
Manchester United players are only playing to instructions which are not so good! Roy Keane's comments on Bruno Fernandez being stripped off as Captain shouldn't happen, has he got a better idea to handle it? Bruno Fernandez has earned it.
This is not about just one player or even the back line of the Manchester United Team, let alone Harry Maguire's performance, I watched this match and I saw Harry Maguire playing better than his other teammates.
I will not focus on Manchester United's back line in this match, in fact I think the team's midfield played very badly and Ten Hag should improve their midfield instead of talking about their backline.
I really don't understand anymore about Ten Hag and the Manchester United team, it is right for Ten Hag to be fired, I don't think he is worthy to be a coach in a team as big as Manchester United.
Ten Hag has been at Man United for 2 seasons, and there has been no better progress even though the players he has brought in have all met his wishes, but this team is not much better, I think he has failed miserably.

A coach that qualified Manchester United for the Champions League and won the fans a trophy in his first season be fired? How do you see football my friend?
That's enough backing for him this season, he will be untouchable even of he fails to get Manchester United qualified for the Champions League next season.
Those results are what give coaches the chance to stay and not get fired.

I didn't focus on Harry Maguire, I just don't like him as a defender for Manchester United, they deserve a better defender than him. Too slow he has been for Manchester United even if he plays to your thirst.

Bellingham continue to make goals, now are to 10! But Lautaro Martínez in Italy competition do better (11).

Erling Haaland also has same goals as Jude Bellingham, Jude Bellingham has more than Kylian Mbappe currently goals and top goal scorers in the Spanish League.
Vinicius Junior with no goals here has shown how much he gambles around, he'll just be known to be the player that did this and that, if he doesn't start adding goals to his tally, he'll be useless to Real Madrid.

Only The German Bundesliga and Dutch League players have scored more goals in them various loacl league Competitions than Jude Bellingham. I take back whatever I said, there'll be trouble if he gets Injured. Joselu should be replaced and not signed fully.

Brighton beat 6-1 against Ajax. We can say that Ajax had no chances and it is strange to see such a club as Ajax in such a terrible situation. In their domestic league, Ajax are sitting in the relegation zone with 1 victory after 7 rounds. Ajax fans are disappointed this season. Brighton, on the other hand, continues its rising performance from last year this season. They can surprise in the Europa League this season.
Which match are you discussing here, I didn't find that Brighton beat Ajax with a landslide score of 6-1, the match in Group B of the Europa League between Brighton vs Ajak ended 2-0 in favor of Brighton. Brighton victory not only opened up their chances of qualifying for the next round, but also recorded the club's history of achieving their first win in European competition. This result helped Brighton swap positions with Ajax at the bottom of the standings. Brighton sits in third place after getting three additional points, while Ajax dropped to the bottom of the standings.
What you say is true, Brighton won the match with a score of 2-0, I see that Ajax's performance in the local league is indeed declining sharply in several matches, I'm not too confident about Ajax in the future in this league.

I also hope that Brighton must continue to show its performance which is on fire and continue to be united in the team, the struggle is not only in Eufa but the local league must continue to maintain it if next year it will return to Eufa. This is the next tough task for a coach to prepare each player to stay fit in every match.


Ajax of Netherland hasn't been at the best of them best else who is a low rated team like Brighton to challenge one of European finest clubs at a top level.
Ajax have been a disaster during league games and European Competition.

Brighton on the other hand are not so consistent, they also been struggling since they got the chance to play in the European Europa League Competition for the very first time in the entire clubs history.
Their general performance have this declined both in the Premier League and Europa League Competition. They've just gotten to win them first game against a declined Ajax.
2665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 31, 2023, 01:45:40 PM
The point difference between the top five teams in the Bundesliga are very slim and that I think makes the German Bundesliga more interesting at the moment. Stuttgart were ahead of Bayern Munich before their last League fixture but after their home defeat in the hands of Hoffenheim at home last weekend.
Bayer Leverkusen have been very consistent and looks like a team who's going to give Bayern Munich a strong fight for who wins the German Bundesliga title. Borussia Dortmund is also among the clubs who are still very much in contention for the title. Absolutely interesting for fans of German football.
With their point differences, the top teams in the Bundesliga remain relatively tight after nine matches. Bayern Leverkusen came first, demonstrating that this squad is ready for this title race and are ready for a long intense battle with the defending champions. I don't have high hopes for Borussia Dortmund; they usually make me lose hope in them just when I think they'll win it all and take the trophy for themselves. If Bayern Leverkusen can maintain their current form, their strength, and their style of play, I believe they will give Bayern Munich a tough time, even if they do not win the Bundesliga title.

Leverkusen is the only team eligible to win the title this season along with the mighty Bayern Munich. Consistently this team is able to perform very well. And in the match against Bayern Munich, they proved their ability and drew the match. In every match, we see good performance from Leverkusen players. Leverkusen won 8 out of 9 matches. And the team has occupied the top spot of the table by 2 points ahead of Bayern Munich.

Dortmund and Stuttgart are not weak. However, it is somewhat difficult for these two teams to continue to perform consistently well. At the same time, Dortmund is also playing in the Champions League. So it becomes more difficult for them to perform well in every match in the Champions League and Bundesliga. And that's why I don't think Dortmund can be a worthy challenger to Bayern Munich in the title race.

Bayern Munich has won it for the eleventh time consecutively, that's already buzzkill for me and I have hoped for another club to win it this season. That Dortmund couldn't do last season.
Surprisingly, Bayern Leverkusen has been a tough team with the help of hardworking squad and experienced coach, they have been so consistent. Though the pressure from Bayern is bloody, that should be overlooked and they should taie every game one step at a time.

Stuggart has just lost them second game of the season and that was narrowly, I won't say they're weak. They lost a huge player in the squad and that must have affected them performance.
Before the Dortmund vs Bayern Munich, they will have to both play a DFB POKAL CUP!

Real Madrid totally depends on Jude Bellingham to find goals and wins so far in this season. I can not imagine a departure of Karim Benzema affected their attacking system like this. Joselu did not meet Real Madrid request and both Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo had very poorer performances than what they usually did in previous seasons.

Those players have different problems: Vinicius Jr. with injuries, Rodrygo with his form, Joselu with pressure by playing a first season for a biggest club in his career. But they have to improve because Real Madrid need their contributions to win matches in future. A club can not depend on Jude Bellingham in a long season.

I see it differently:

The team's morale is high, because the team has a real talent - Bellingham, who is able to decide the outcome of the match and bring victory, this always adds strength to the team.

Junior almost never sits on the bench, this injury was an isolated incident, and Joselu just creates this competition, which makes everyone play even better. I admit, I have never felt any sympathy for Ancelotti as a coach before, but what he is doing now in Real Madrid is a great art.

It is almost impossible to compete with such a Real Madrid, so I expect them to win La Liga and reach the Champions League final.

The Clubs morale at the moment is unstoppable, a player Injured will not affect the club, the players on the bench can replace the players playing on the first team.

Junior gambles with the ball and wants unnecessary attentions and fouls, if Kylian Mbappe had made important decisions, Vinicius Junior shoulda been schooled what it means to play business football.

Winning the La Liga would be difficult, still rooting for Barcelona to successfully do that. The Champions League finals! That's already embedded in them red blood cells. They can win the Champions League and also get to the finals any season, they have no mate when you talk about the Champions League.

@Oluwa-btc I totally agree about Fernandes being played in a position he’s not at all comfortable and despite such poor displays from Fernandes Ten Hag is yet refusing to change his strategies which shows how poorly he’s managing this squad. Lastly buying Hojlund was a mistake because now he’s under severe pressure to deliver but he’s yet not entirely ready to lead a club like Manchester United and the wise decision would have been to buy a proven goal scorer who would have immediately helped the club by scoring goals.

You have the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League after Kevin De Brunye ( Eriksen, Bruno Fernandez and Possibly Mason Mount ) how dare you go ahead to field Scott MC Tominay a player who runs to and fro the pitch without creating good goal scoring chances for players. And how do you expect him to unlock attackers like Rashford and Hojlund while they play? All these happening coz he scored two late goals? Crazzzzzzyyy!

Jose Mourinho used him as a defensive midfielder who succeeded in that position. Ole Gunner Solskjaer did same as a double pivot with Fred to free up Bruno Fernandez completely. Now Erik Ten Hag doing differently. He hasn't really watched and learn from how they failed at Manchester United.

Hojlund is a good goal chaser, he has eyes on goal and doesn't have time to gamble with ball, all he wants is to score, Manchester United should circle the balls ans passes to him just the same way Manchester City does with Erling Haaland.
Rashford? He's a bingo! A complete fraud, how come he takes the highest fee in Manchester United with that low level, standard of football.

Erling Haaland has scored too many goals, won all three Competitions broke so many records in his first season in the Premier League, it would be great to see someone finally meeting up with Cristiano Ronaldo being the only Ballon d'or award winner in the Premier League.
Anyways, Lionel Messi for me, he deserves it.

Wait, is it true that only Cristiano has ever won the Ballon D'Or from the Premier League? I haven't gotten any information like that. But if that is true then this will be biased because what is called the Best League in the world does not have many players who have won the Ballon D'Or. For me, Haaland deserves it, but Messi also had extraordinary achievements last season. So this will probably be our competition. Let's just wait for the voting results.
And it looks like the Ballon D'Or awards will be held on October 30 (CMIIW) and there are only a few days left to add to our discussion list here.

It finally held and Lionel Messi was awarded the Ballon d'or winner for the eighth time. Yeah! Cristiano Ronaldo stands as the only player who has won the Ballon d'or from the Premier League.
I don't consider them as the best no more, they're only having good marketing strategies. They're are not worthy to be called the best league in the world.

Lionel Messi helped PSG a big time. People who fail to see that are blind. Too much was expected from him, he was also doing both jobs, that of midfielder's and that of the attackers. Because of tue standards he has set at Barcelona, they really wanted seeing another top Performance from him at PSG, but I'm so sorry he couldn't!

Many other teams in the Premier League have also now adopted this strategy of targeting young players to bring to the club. if you see it seem like Chelsea you will notice how much of young players that they have, and how the management of the club have giving these players very long contracts. Investment in this kind of players usually gives good outcome and result over time when other teams are looking for ways to replace the old and retiring players that they have in their team.
Reading your post about how you talk of Chelsea’s investment in young players make me see it as if they invested in Bitcoin. Signing young players is good and it can be beneficial in the long run but without a good coach that would build them and have trust in them they can be a great problem for the team especially when the team desperately needs to do better. It can take time but with the right coach they are the best. It is good investment for chelsea, but they need results desperately to challenge more so i will advise if they can add an experienced striker to their team to score the goals so other players can be motivated as well.

I have also come to see and think of it same way like you do, it's just that Chelsea fans have always wanted to see quick results which is not good enough.
The management have plans not even the fans can dream of and it'll be a great idea to see thst happening. I've been one of those blaming Todd Boehly too for his own quiet and wicked moves.

Arsenal also did same thing with the kind of players they signed. Mikel Arteta kept players he thinks he c an control and tell them how he wants to play. It's one of the reasons Arsenal have been in flying colors.
Chelsea fans don’t have patience, they just want quick and fast development which cannot be done because even Rome was not built in a day and if you check Arsenal’s development period you will see it also took them time as well, people criticized them alot and told Arteta young players are not the solution but he proved everyone wrong but he was given enough time. Chelsea needs to do the same thing and exercise patience. Chelsea have enough promising youngsters so all they need now is just time.

I do think they have good midfielder's and defender's, they'll need a perfect replacement for Thiago Silva though due to age his replacement should be lined up to make that defense solid. But I still ask the questions over and over, if Mauricio Pochetino is the man for the job?
Can he successfully lead them into winning the next Premier League?

Every good thing takes time and some failures, it's just the responsibilities of the fans to backup whoever is doing the right decisions for the success of the club, not just for a shorter term but for years.
They're doing better than Manchester United, they all have a common mindset and they're working towards achieving that.

Congratulations to Messi for another robbery. This is an excerpt of Messi's speech after winning the Ballon D'or:

Haaland and Mbappé will win the Ballon d’Or one day”.

"Erling deserved it very much too, he has won Premier League, Champions League while being the top scorer of everything. This award could have been yours today too...”

Even Messi knows he didn't deserved it, he knows it's a parting gift from FIFA to him. They just want to make him the only player in history with the highest number of Ballon D'or.


Congratulations to Lionel Messi, I must admit his talents are extraordinary and he should not be considered someone from planet earth.
I can go on to say both of his Ballon d'ors are not worth with but who am I? Congratulations to him again for making him eight time winner!

There's no need for much lamentations and lamenting. For players like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, they should focus on what's ahead at most Kylian Mbappe.
The deed and whatsoever cheating has been done, now it's time for them to plan ahead. Erling Haaland if he works hard again would, but could be tough to achieve in the Premier League.

Cristiano Ronaldo after fifteen years, remains the only player to have won the Ballon d'or from the Premier League!
2672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 31, 2023, 07:44:09 AM
Inter continued their winning streak. Inter managed to win against Roma, albeit 1-0, and continued to lead the league. They are doing really well in the league at the moment and I don't know if they can take both the league and the Champions league

If you watched Inter Milan match against Roma you will see that that Inter milan didn't manage to win that match despite the fact that it was a narrow win but they worked very hard for the win as it wasn't easy for them to win Roma because Roma also played good football just that they were unable to utilize their opportunities.

Inter being on a winning streak isn't enough reason to justify their season as in football, tables do turn because of unforseen circumstances like injuries so for now let's hope they continue in their winning streak as a good beginning sometimes leads to a good end.

Inter Milan have been the best attacking team in all of Italian Seria A, so it'll be much better if you give them their flowers. They don't need to wait till the end of the season before you give them credits.
Giving credits don't mean they shouldn't lose focus on the bigger picture for the small though.

They worked hard against Roma. Roma off course defended very well and played with so much passion but couldn't do that for the full ninety minutes of the game.
They also created the best chances and had the best dangerous attacks, they should have scored more than a goal. Thanks to the defenders of As Roma.
2673  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 31, 2023, 07:32:27 AM
I think, Chelsea still more stronger than Manchester united in this season because Arsenal defeated Manchester united 1-3 for the favour of Arsenal, but Arsenal find it difficult to defeat Chelsea which statistics show how Chelsea lead the match with two goals before Arsenal struggle to equalized the goals before the end of the match. It was another defeat from their home for Manchester city to defeated Manchester united 0-3 to embraced the three points without allowed their opponent strikers to achieve a goal, but it will be difficult for Manchester city to create such opportunity to defeat Chelsea without allow them to score a goal in this season. I believe, Chelsea have opportunity to improve higher in the Europa league competition because their new players are taking a good steps to dominate in a way their coach will be happy.

Manchester united losing to Arsenal and Manchester city isn't good reason to say Chelsea is stronger than Manchester united. Okay how about Manchester city that lost against Arsenal, can you also say that Arsenal is stronger than Manchester city? Inasmuch as football is concern, a team performance can't be judged at a time when the season is still young as a team that didn't perform better at the beginning might surprise everyone at the end.

How do you even go about comparing two flops? Both Manchester United and Chelsea have been poor since the start of the season. Too much high expectations leads to what again?
There will be hell for Pochetino and Chelsea at most for Mauricio Pochetino and with how he handles the club in the next six games. Go take a look, Chelsea has game that will send them down below, if not well managed, Manchester United has that could take them higher, but they have a dumped manager for the past few games.

Erik Ten Hag has been different since this season, the signature of Sofyan Amrabat shouldn't also be completed, he is not the solid defensive midfielder Manchester United needs. Take a good look at Rodri, and Declan Rice! Do I need explain any further?
2674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 31, 2023, 07:14:00 AM
With what we see in the standings now, the opportunity for Manchester United to qualify is still open. But the problem is when we look at their appearance which will not be certain whether they will play well or vice versa. They have just lost the derby match at home to Manchester City and surely it is something that hurts because they have to lose in front of their own supporters.
In the Champions League, in the first 2 matches they had to lose and fortunately they could still win in the 3rd match so that their chances were still open. But their journey is still tough in the next match. Honestly, it's hard to predict them.
United are not really inform at the moment,nothing seems to be working for Ten Hag,he has tried almost all he could,using different formations and lineups just to ensure that he gets victory,but it's as if the whole situation is getting worse.I feel for their fans because if care is not taken,they might end up not qualifying for Europa league next season.They managed to win the least team in their group the last time they played,and with the way they are playing so far,there is no guarantee that they can win any other team in the group again,because they are going worse everyday.I feel for their fans.

I think Manchester United's main weakness is their attack. If we look at the Premier League points table, United's attacking weakness is easily understood. The team scored only 11 goals in 10 matches. The 7 teams above Manchester United in the points table have managed to score more than 22 goals in 10 matches each. On the other hand, Manchester United's attacking players are consistently performing poorly. I would blame United's attacking weakness on bad decisions by United coach Ten Hag. Because, he spent a lot of money and added the inexperienced Hojlund to the squad. United needed an experienced striker. Having such an inexperienced player in United's front line is why Manchester United is in such a bad state. Manchester United has a lot of money. Ten hag could have bought an experienced striker.

Unwise to say he ( Hojlund is not experienced ) he has adapted well but Manchester United has failed to play all around him like they did last season and also, Erik Ten Hag has been quite stupid in a couple of games, his philosophy of football hasn't been well laid down for the lads to execute nicely.

Having a very good attacking midfielder and plays him on the wing? How do you expect Bruno Fernandez to perform when he can express himself freely on the pitch. He has Eriksen and Mason Mount also only for him to play Scott MC Tominay! 0hh Good GOD!
His own ideology of football gets me tired.

I'm done complaining about Marcus Rashford, he is the worst player in Manchester United attack, he is very selfish and still hasn't grown as a footballer. Not all English players are overhyped though, but few like Rashford! Bullshit!

Mikel Arteta sure carried on the vision of Arsene Wenger and that is in development of youngsters that would outperform other teams that paid heavily for already made star players.

I really could not believe what happend to Dortmund and Frankfurt.
First i watched the live ticker and Frankfurt was leading with 2 scored Goals and then in the end they managed to make a draw.
Dont know who was better but it looks like that it was a good game from both teams.

At least Leverkusen won there game against Freiburg.

God knows how many times Borrussia Dortmund has done my betslip dirty. I was expecting the win from Eintracht Frankfurt yesterday, how did they go from winning that to a draw?
I wanted to see the repetition of the scores they had during the Europa League Competition. Lol. They're really not serious about this league Campaign.

I'd love to see Bayern Leverkusen winning the Bundesliga really! Bayern Munich has won the Bundesliga for eleven times Straight. That's pure wickedness! I expected more from Borrussia Dortmund when they had the chance last season but they bottled it.

Harry Kane now mounting pressure on Serhou Guirassy, 12 goals for Harry Kane. 14 for Injured Serhou Guirassy,  Harry Kane would beat him to that Golden Boot award immediately he leaves for African Cup of Nations!

I really enjoyed the Napoli vs Milan match... It was really a battle with a dramatic scenario... After the first half I had no doubts that Milan would win, but in the second half Napoli managed to equalise with two goals... Serie A pleases me every time...

Olivier Giroud with double header's during the first half of the game. Milan couldn't hold that down as they let Napoli jump back Into the game with two goals to level it up.
Who else has gotten to notice Christian Pulisic? He's such a beautiful player to watch now. He was responsible for assisting the first goal scored by Oliver Giroud. His transformation from Injury prone to n asset for Milan interest man alot.

Khivicha Kvaratskhelia shoulda won the game for Napoli at the last minutes of the game but his shot was saved by Ac Milans Goalkeeper.

And bout Jose Mourinho, he needs to take some time off for good. AS Roma needs a Coach who attacks more than he defends, they have the players in who can do that.

Kroos retired from the German team in 2021 to focus on Real Madrid. Although he is used in matches, this veteran midfielder is still not satisfied with his new role. Kroos wants to leave Real Madrid. He currently only has a contract with Los Blancos after this season ends, and most importantly, he is no longer trusted by Carlo Ancelotti. Before Barca in the El Clasico match, Kroos was assigned the starting role by coach Ancelotti but could have played more effectively. He couldn't help Real Madrid hold the ball and was completely overwhelmed. As a result, Kroos was replaced from the field in the 63rd minute, and that was when Real Madrid gradually turned the game around.
With significant contributions, Kroos is considered one of Real Madrid's legends. If there are no talks with the La Liga giants by Christmas, he could leave as early as January.

Toni Kroos has won it all, he needs that retirement. He was amongst the set of players that won the FIFA World Cup Competition 2014 against Argentina. Mario Gotze made sure his nation did win.
He's done everything that needs to be done for Real Madrid, don't expect too much of/ from Toni. Last season against Manchester City during semi finals, I watched him closely and saw him slack down. He is no longer the Kroos we know. Age has come and I do think, it's okay if he gets reduced game time for Real Madrid.

I doubt he is upset, he has been linked to Manchester City, and if that's correct, it'll be a good reunion with Pep Guardiola. Pep Guardiola knows how to work with his strength. It's time he leaves Real Madrid, he's won it all.

True. He has had every achievement with real Madrid that we could imagine. So I believe it should not be a problem if he wants to move away from Real Madrid. If he wants to retire that will also be okay. But I really think that he should try to go to some other league, like the Saudi league where he will be able to play for a long period of time without any problem. But going to Manchester City might be a problem at this age of his career. He will have a very competitive time in Manchester City. Which might actually make him injured.

Shit! I didn't even get to consider that the Premier League is a very competitive place for him at his age. He kicked against younger players moving to Saudi Arabian Premier League so early in them careers. So, I'm really not sure if he'll want to make advances too.
Since he was linked to Manchester City I was only looking at the advantages for him and not considering the disadvantages.

3 top talented young stars in world football: Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, and Jude Bellingham. This year, with Bellingham's explosion at Real Madrid. They can replace Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo for the new star era. Bellingham's goal statistics have surpassed the achievements of Haaland and Mbappé this season. He is showing great potential to become a legend.
But striker Mbappé, captain of the French national team and the best striker in PSG club history is still the most valuable name. Striker Erling Haaland ranked second on the list. Jude Bellingham ranked third with a lower valuation.
Is it reasonable for me to assign this value to three young stars?

They should all walk them own paths and not try to move like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi not even Neymar Junior. If they do they to follow them paths, they will want to do and work harder than they did to achieve all they did and will end up not getting it. This are one of the demerits of following up in a great man's shoes.
Kylian Mbappe should drop his ego and play football, he has played with the best and should have learned from how humble Lionel Messi has been even with all of the achievements he's won.

Quoting my yesterday post.

Congratulations Chelsea for the another lose, this has been expected by many people because Chelsea is a weak club. Today we will see an another overrated weak club like Chelsea aka Manchester United will lose too against Manchester City.

Congratulations for Manchester United able to follow Chelsea's path.

People who say Haaland is nothing without De Bruyne need to watch this match, Haaland almost scored 4 goals if Onana didn't block his shot and header. This is what Manchester City, full pressure from the first minute until the end.

It seems McTominay is better to play in attacking midfielder since he currently the top scorer in Manchester United.

Congratulations to Erik Ten Hag, he'll continue getting more poor results with the use of Marcus Rashford, Even Pep Guardiola drop his best players just to show them, they are drop-able if they don't perform well.

Though Erling Haaland performs better with Kevin De Brunye on the pitch alongside him. He did well yesterday evening, shoulda resulted to four goals but two of those efforts saved by Andrea Onana reduced it. How can someone say he is a small game player? I read that shit and burst out laughing. They know nothing bout soccer.

How many chances have been created by Scott Mc Tominay? Manchester United have a very good attacking midfielder, you see those so called attackers are flops ( Rashford ).

Manchester United were just horrible in this derby game. I thought of betting on Manchester City to win but somehow I couldn't trust them completely. Because Manchester United can be unpredictable in home games against big teams in the league. Sometimes they lose hard but the other times they show a great performance.

But I must have done the opposite considering how poor they have been since the beginning of the season. There isn't the same Manchester United from the previous season now. They were desperate in this game and the final score could have been bigger than 3-0. Haaland was the man of the match with 2 goals and 1 assist in my opinion.

Manchester City showed class tonight innit? They should have scored more than just three goals, thanks to Andrea Onana for saving the efforts from Erling Haaland twice.
Manchester City are better even with the absence of key players, they would run down Manchester United anyday with this kind of display. They really deserves the win but it feels like the penalty awarded was too light. Though, Hojlund should have done better by contesting for the ball rather than dragging Rodri slightly.

Home and away they have been poor. I even placed em to score a goal and they couldn't. Erling Haaland deserves it, I read somewhere in the UEFA Champions League someone saying Erling Haaland is a small game player. ( Joker Innit? )
