Group C is a relatively easy group for Real Madrid. Of their three competitors, perhaps only Napoli is predicted to provide a little difficulty, but because Napoli can currently be said to be experiencing a decline, it makes it easier for Real Madrid to become the leader of this group standings until the end. When they face Braga or Union Berlin, even though it is an away match for Real Madrid, they will still be able to face it well.
Jude Bellingham has made quite a change in the Real Madrid team, and it is quite surprising how he has been able to adapt since his first match with the big Spanish club.
Real Madrid overcome Napoli challenges easily when they beat Napoli with a score of 3-2 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. Real Madrid chances of getting out of Group C as Group winners are very big, one of the toughest competitors has been overcome, they only need to overcome Napoli in the second leg when they play away to Santiago Bernabeu. Two other teams, SC Braga and Union Berlin, can be easily overcome by Real Madrid. Real Madrid current performance will be the most frightening threat for its competitors.

Ancelotti had to limit Jude Bellingham playing minutes, he had to rest Bellingham in a relatively easy match for Real Madrid in order to maintain his condition so he wouldn't get injured easily. Bellingham current performance is very beneficial for Real Madrid, Real Madrid must always maintain his condition to avoid the risk of injury.


Three goals to two was that easy? Five goals in a game shows how both sides lacked good defending that night. When it comes to Champions League Real Madrid are both monsters and devil's in between.
They play this Competition with so much passion.
Though, Napoli last season performance would have troubled Real Madrid. Unfortunately, they've lost quite a number of players.

Jude Bellingham is good but in big games, he always get hidden. The Champions League has a long journey until it comes to conclusion.
The process and journey to the finals would be lots of fun.

In the latest news, Barcelona has taken notice of Kaoru Mitoma. Their scouts are quite impressed with Mitoma's remarkable progress and development. Barcelona particularly needs more firepower on the left wing, as they have several options on the right wing, like Raphinha and Ferran Torres. They are willing to spend around 50 to 55 million pounds for this transfer. Additionally, Manchester City is actively pursuing Mitoma. What do you think would be the best place for him to go?



Yamal Lamine and Raphina are my favorites for the right wing for Barcelona, I haven't seen more of Ferran Torres on the right wing. So I'll say he fits for the left wing role.
Barcelona has Jaoa Felix on the left wing and Fati who's currently on loan at Brighton. When he Fati returns, it'll be be challenging to get game time if Mitoma eventually gets signed up for Barcelona.

I'll say he will have a massive development for himself and all of japanese national team,  but he'll be lacking when he doesn't play enough games.
At Manchester United he'll get enough chance since he'll be the first winger signature to be brought in by Erik Ten Hag. I don't know how many league goals he can score a season, I'll go see his previous records.

I think the Arab world is giving more attention to Footblall.

I am seeing a take over of Football interests from Europe as concerns are now heightened from the Saudis. More resources being pumped into the game and even offers rolling in to buy Manchester United with a whooping sum of money. This only tells me one thing, the game of soccer is about to change hands

https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/man-utd-takeover-investors-saudi-arabia-5-billion-race-bid-deadline/bltcc885ca1142e9068
The paradigm is already changing and it is so obvious to everyone and including the Europeans. Before now the Europeans uses the world best players to control football just like what they did with Ronaldo and Messi in Laliga for so many seasons. If Saudi Arabia has learnt how to buy important players despite their age, they are one step closer to thin down the competition line.

The successful takeover of Newcastle United and that of Manchester United about to happen is another signal. The main tool to control this football industry is money and the Saudi Arabians are really to invest even more funds to achieve their desire. Time will tell how fast they will be to achieve this.

It's funny seeing most Europeans complaining about the rise of players leaving top European Leagues for the Saudi Arabian League. They literally did the same thing years ago.
They attracted alll of African finest, Asians, North and South American finest footballers to build around.

They shouldn't take free will from players, allow this players to take them choice. They want to move outta Europe? They shouldn't be stopped. The take over of Manchester United so difficult. I doubt they're interested in the take over anymore. The glazers seems to be making it all difficult for them.

Dortmund has built players who you can no mention their name twice in the all world now, I really agreed with your statement saying they are not after Bundesliga title because if the want they will get it, Robert Lewandowski was their product which move to Bayern Munich than later to Barcelona and is still doing great, take a look at Haaland has taken Manchester City to the next level by win so many trophies, look at Jude Bellingham that recently joined Real Madrid and gradually make name there, Jude Bellingham scored in every matches he has played, now people see him as future Ballon d'Or winner due to his playing habit. I Don think Dortmund really need Bundesliga title rather they prefer business.
Germay teams don't have what it take to pull a tough battle for the the Bundesliga this season, perhaps this season kind of seems quite different due to the current standings on the table with Bayer Leverkusen that totally understands the entire operations of these teams. Borrusia Dortmund is the only consistent contender with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title every season. But they have woefully failed due to the one repetitive mistakes they kept making. That's selling their important players to elite sides in every transfer summer, it's not longer amazing because they do make quite good figures from these players.

It strikes me that they do so now this season, both Bayern Leverkusen and Stuggart has already a good start in the first nine Bundesliga games.
They will have to do double of what they do now to keep the consistency and also maintaining the level they occupy on the Bundesliga League table.
Borrussia Dortmund are gamblers, they're not really ready. They're just down for business. The developments of young players into top players and the sell for profit. It could be that they make a lot of profits from that.
The fans haven't complained about it too.

Furthermore Manchester United board have launched an inquiry as to why so many player’s are getting injured and the most obvious answer is Ten Hag failure to rotate his squad and inability to provide rest to his player’s.

it was because of Ten Hag's lack of confidence in the players on the team. He was very confident in the players he chose in the squad, but when they experienced problems with fitness and cards, Ten Hag had no other solution to form a strong squad.

However, this is only the beginning of the season and if Ten Hag does not improve the performance of all the players in the team, then they will experience a decline in the standings. Ten Hag clearly knows United's problems, but he is having difficulty finding solutions.

What are you really writing? LoL

How can Erik Ten Hag's lack of confidence in his players lead to them getting Injured? This is crazy honestly. Also, he has shown strong support for his players.
Having intensed training sections and medical team/ unit should be monitored and investigated. There's got to be solution, but most players to project these plans are being Injured.

I will say Erik Ten Hag has been given enough time. But, one thing for sure is that, he is a good coach and will take Manchester United back to winning ways.

Basically, Osimhen has had good playing time at Napoli but unfortunately, Napoli this season is not as good as last season. Also, if Osimhen stays in Napoli for a long time, then of course that would be very unfortunate . Because Osimhen should have new challenges, such as playing in other big leagues in Europe. Therefore, it is not surprising that there are rumors predicting that Real Madrid is interested in bringing in Osimhen too, and of course this offer is a great offer.
If Osimhen wanted to leave in the transfer market yesterday, I think he would have found a good club. but he chose to stay at a club that had just won a trophy. The change of coach and several names leaving clearly affected Napoli's game. The hope of all fans is to see Napoli perform like last season, but however there are several points that are different. they have to accept reality. and if Osimhen wants to leave the team, I think he still has good enough value to be able to join a big European club. he has quality.

The more they keep on getting bad games and no improvements, the lesser the chances of Champions League qualifications they'll get.
Rudi Garcia should have known how to treat both the special players and the rest of the squad well so he doesn't lose the power he has in the dressing room.
It'll also lead to the sale of important players if Napoli doesn't gets qualified.
Victor Oshime would be on the chase for a new club, Publicly embarrassing Victor Oshime shouldn't be taken slightly. They have violated him and he doesn't need to extend his contract. Chelsea and  Manchester United are clubs having eyes on him.

Giuseppe Marotta the CEO of sports in Inter Milan started talking about their former palyer Onana and that's maybe a piece of good news for Manchester United when Giuseppe Marotta said they are not trying to get Onana back to the team.
Because during this season Onana couldn't have a good performance and his team was not in a good situation either, this was the reason why many people they said Onan was about to come back to Inter Milan because of the bad time he had in Manchester United. But after what Giuseppe Marotta the case is closed.


Giuseppe Marotta said that Onana was one of the great goalkeepers they had and even managed to take part in bringing Inter Milan to the Champions League Final last season even though they lost to Manchester City.
With Onana transfer to Manchester United it is actually big advantage for Inter Milan because previously they could bring in Onana for free without any transfer fee but now Onana is not in good condition with Manchester United and Giuseppe Marotta also hopes that Onana can return to his performance as before even though the chances of being able to bring Onana back home are slim.

We don't know what Onana will be like in the Manchester United squad and it seems that Ten Hag also doesn't really believe in using Onana in the squad he coaches.
If it is true that Onana can return to Inter Milan maybe this will also be an advantage for Manchester United.

Andrea Onana is not just supported by his former owners, but have also received backing and support indirectly from them. They have just told the world that he has the potentials of taking a club to the Champions League finals.
But returning to Inter Milan already? That's not going to happen, c'mon!

Andrea Onana is a top quality player, both with his legs and hands, he's just had a rough start here. With the end of the International games, I do hope he gets to keep a clean sheet against Sheffield United.

Real Madrid already have remarkable depth in their midfield which can carry them into the next generation, even without the inclusion of Jude Bellingham.
- Fredico Valverde (25 years),
- Eduardo Camavinga (20 years)
- Aurélien Tchouaméni (23 years)
- Arda Güler (18 years)

Madrid have been very futuristic in their recent signings and are set to build a team that can dominate the spot for years to come. When you throw in 20 year old Jude Bellingham they have are a very scary team to play against.
To the El clasico we should all understand that it is just one match with three points up for grabs. Three points dropped in that fixture and any other one matters the same, it only has psychological value to boost their morale.

- Jay -

Fredico Valverde has seen lesser games played this season. That was actually since the British Man Jude Bellingham got signed up for Real Madrid. He has been up and going regardless when called upon in the squad.

We've seen the potentials of all these players, Camavinga and Tchouameni. They have both been brilliant in midfied for Real Madrid.
Though, we're yet to see that of  Arda Guler. I read Luka Modric saying good tidings about the youngin, he could be the replacement for Luka Modric finally.

Madrid have invested in great midfielder's, now it's time they move focus towards bringing in strikers who can serve and work well with these midfielder's.
2889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 15, 2023, 06:53:00 PM
Manchester City may be interested in Toni Kross. He is a great midfielder. However, Manchester City's midfield is already much stronger now. So I don't think it would be very profitable to add Kross, who is almost 34 years old, to the team. Talented midfielders like De Bruyne, Silva and Phillips are already in the City squad. If City want to plan long term then they should add a young talented midfielder to the squad. The addition of Toni Kroos to the squad may have strengthened City's performance. But I doubt if he can give service to the team for more than 2/3 years.

The new interests me and since Toni Kroos is a player that has worked with Pep Guardiola with Bayern Munich, moving to Manchester City have a good possibility of happening.
Being 34 means nothing. Toni Kroos, still has that ability to break down defense with his passes. That is something he can bring into Pep Guardiola's side. Besides, they've lost Gundogan and since left, no player has met his standards.

Pep Guardiola already brought in a yougin from Manchester City Academy he ( Lewis ,) is already doing well. Did had a good game against Arsenal but no matured enough in midfied.

There's more players interested in EPL title this season. We know the essential teams that would make it up for top four, the ones that would settle for other positions and the worst ones that would become relegated from the league due to the act of incapable strength to match up. Arsenal failed last season, they really got motivated by their extreme results by ending second and qualifying for UEFA Champions League. The gunners have keep up with the outstanding performance this new season, alot of mistakes will go on if what happen last time repeat itself, simply referring to injuries that affected them during the end period of EPL.

This season Arteta has the opportunity to stop Manchester City's title dominance, as well as what Liverpool and Tottenham can do. I know Arteta is very hungry and ready to conquer tough challenges this season, but the defending champions should not be underestimated.

Manchester City experienced a slight change in their form of play which caused them to lose 6 points in 2 consecutive matches. But that is not the reason why Manchester City will completely fail if Pep Guardiola and his team recover and improve their performance. Manchester City have proven that even though they haven't led the standings for longer.
If Arsenal and Arteta happen to have the opportunity they had last season by occupying the top of the table for more than half of the season, I am very sure that the title will not elude them again. Arsenal must have learnt from their mistakes. It is not just Arsenal, but Arteta himself. Arteta made a very big mistake last season by relying on only few people and over used them for the season m that actually made the players like Saka and Marteneli and towards the end of the season they had fatigue and could not fight till the end

This season, Arsenal has a good squad depth. I didn't confirm this until Arsenal was able to beat Manchester city without the involvement of Saka. This is a clear indication that Arsenal is ready for this season.

Mistakes must have been learnt but not completely. Arsenal is still yet to sign a perfect replacement for Saka just incase Saka gets Injured for a long time.
Neto the Portuguese winger has been linked to gunners, I do hope he gets signed up.
Mikel Arteta had a good squad last season, he wasn't having enough depth and replacements for important players.

Against Manchester City, they played well and Mikel Arteta did his part well also. He brought in the perfect players to win him the game and also to hold down the game for him.
2891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 14, 2023, 11:34:57 PM
Juventus are said to be considering a move for Jadon Sancho. Honestly I think Sancho would also be likely to leave the team at the earliest opportunity. He has a really bad relationship with Erik ten Hag now you know. It doesn't look like there will be a middle way found soon either. The best for Sancho is to leave the team as it seems.

I would actually like to see him going back to Dortmund. Because he had a really good chemistry back then and his performance was really great. But if that doesn't happen then he can just look for his other options such as Juventus.

It's not just Juventus but also Barcelona is linked to this player and after the drama he had with Ten Hag there is a chance for this palyer to leave Manchester United because currently he is not happy there and he doesn't have any chance to show his performance while we know Sancho is talented player and he is still young can he can have good performance in other teams if Ten Hag doesn't want to accept him in Manchester United.



https://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-barcelona-jadon-sancho-loan/blt51ec8c47c4097892

If they can meet up with the Valuations of Manchester, then he can choose where he'll want to further his career. He is a player with a strong character, refusing to tender the apologies makes me laugh.
Good he has decided and that stands he wi leave Manchester United when the Transfer Window opens.
I would also love they do same with some Manchester United players that are not good enough. Victor Lindelof should go and same with the name Harry Maguire.
If they fail to leave they can't have enough minutes to play then.
2892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON Qualifiers 2023 on: October 14, 2023, 11:17:11 PM
I said it from the beginning, the Super Eagles are not to be trusted in any game no matter who they're playing. What a very poor goalkeeping by Uzoho, I wonder why he's always under unnecessary pressure. When the ball came in there was no body contesting for the ball with him and he just made a mess and now we're losing to a goal to nil.
I just hope this isn't what we're going to be seeing in the AFCON, good thing we have Ivory coast in our group let's see how playful we can be in that group.
For this friendly game I just can't say much but laugh because is time we just watch and expect nothing from the Eagles till they get the job done.
I am  not disappointed. I had a low expectation of the team and nothing more. We need a very good goalkeeper our defence is weak and must be strengthened with good players. So many missed chances which would have turned the scoreboard in favour of the super eagles. We are not ready for any competitive event until something is done about the present team. Lastly, more home based players need to be in the squad.

That's what we all long to see but you see the so called azzholes in charge of the Nigerian Football Federation will never want to see that happening because they have taken bribe from players they'll want to introduce into the squad.
I read Victor Oshime was substitute due to Injury.
How was the impact, I hope the injury won't cause a big blow for himself, Nigerians and Napoli. This is a point they'll need his goals and support.

Napoli will need him for his goals and Nigerians needs him fit so he can perform when the African Cup of Nations starts. Let's hope it's just a slight Injury.

Currently the odds for top 3 contenders for winning the Europa League title are like these:

- Liverpool : 4.00
- Roma : 13.00
- Leverkusen : 15.00

Liverpool are really the strongest team in the tournament by far currently. There are going to be teams coming from the Champions League also of course. But until then Liverpool will stay like this. They care about this tournament too considering their effort so far. Their priority is the Premier League of course that's why they have been subbing off their important players early in their games if they have a good advantage.

Liverpool have made big progress compared to last season by the way. This really deserves to be appreciated.  Smiley
Looking from the effort Liverpool puts in the Europa League competition it shows they are really Interested to win the Europa League,  Liverpool performance in the europa league competition is not bad which I can say they have chances of winning if only they continue to stay consistent in their performance.

The Europa league is one of the trophy Liverpool would want to win this season because the Premier league has many favourites fighting for the championship which it may not be possible for Liverpool to be winner of the league. Liverpool targets in the Premier League is to be among the first top four team in the league.

Jurgen Klopp has experience with the Competition I can recall the season he should have won the Europa League Competition instead he lost it to Sevilla in a final game losing three goals to one  to Sevilla.
Good thing he is staying consistent, well, we want to see same energy immediately clubs from Champions League group stages have been knocked out in the competition.

It's either they win to qualify for the Champions League or get qualified for the Champions League in the top four. Which with my calculations will be difficult for Liverpool to achieve. The odds are not in them favour.
2894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 14, 2023, 10:57:00 PM
I think they need to sack him,he was given too much time as a coach and didnt do anything and just shows bad rep for the club with all of his decision. After Ronaldo it goes downwards and that is a serious problem for the club. Players dont like him and that can only cause problems,he cannot replace all of the players.
Too much time?  Huh
Man United hired him on July, 2022. His contract will expire on June, 2025. He is just 2 seasons with Man United. How can you think it is too much time? If you know Sir Alex Ferguson, he needs few seasons to succeed with Man United. So, why don't to give him more time to manage Man United?

Anyway, what he did in Man United isn't very bad. He could lead Man United to finish at the top 3 in the last season. I think we must appreciate that achievement, it is something quite well for his first season with Man United. For the current season, I admit it is not very satisfying. Man United is in the 10th place now. But the season isn't over yet, Man United has a chance to return to the UCL zone again.

If Man sack Ten Hag, I'm not sure they can replace him with an appropriate coach. There are no many top coaches for the candidates. Zidane or Conte seems to have small chance to manage Man United.



Brother Man, Zidane is overrated in my own opinion, right now Pochetino is doing better than he is doing. All the media do is praise him with his past success and glory with a club who needs little coaching to win anything.

Antonio Conte barely gives a shit about the development of the club and young, he is all for the give me money to spend on players that are already made. He may likely be successful but that can only happen with clubs that has enough money to spend.

Erik Ten Hag was the best coach with experience working with younger players and talents. Man United just have too many problems to solve.
2895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 14, 2023, 10:49:02 PM
Now you see, that's the problem here, Zidane should work with a smaller teams, show his strength and tactics before trying to aim for a big job. A club with already made players that can play to his instructions is all he really needs.
Managing a club with "already made players" is not as easy as you might think. Just look at what's happening at Chelsea or PSG. They have squads most teams would admire to have but at the end of it all, the respective managers fail to deliver.

Quote
Going back to former club? Personally, I feel like the job was too big for him, that was why he rushed with resigning.
Rushing to resign does not mean the job was too big for him. What matters is if he performed or not. I think we will all agree that he did quite well, especially in the UCL.


Quite well under the strength of those players? Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo, Vazquez and Dani Carvajal. These names made him win those trophies.
I acknowledge the success he had, but I would love to see all that replicated when he decides to join a lesser side.
Can you recall Bayern Leverkusen from when Xabi Alonso took over? That side struggled the hell Until Xabi Alonso was appointed. He is no magician but his work experience around the world has helped him achieving that.

The wins have brought him to the European Competitions. He could make his way towards qualifications for the Champions League if he achieves success. Don't forget Zidane quickly resigned right after he won the Champions League.
Xabi Alonso now have been linked to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
2896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 14, 2023, 08:42:03 PM

This rumour has always happened even from a few seasons ago where indeed he was still very patient at that time waiting for Deschamps to leave the French national team but that cannot happen now because after all Deschamps' contract was also extended last season so Zidane has lost his chance because France still entrusts the national team to Deschamps.
I think now is the time for Zidane to return to the club wherever it is because seeing some of the conditions that occurred there have been several big clubs in the last season offering him to return to coaching and currently Marseille is the most likely for that because it is said that Marseille and Zidane are getting closer.
A club like Marseille doesn't suit Zidane's standard cause they Lack quality players he'll be willing to work with,and might not even offer him much funds to be able to afford getting top class players for the team, however it would be very interesting for him to go back to his former club Realmadrid where he would be welcome by both club and fans with an open arms and with the quality of  players currently in Madrid squad i think it might not be very difficult to win the Champions League again.

 
 Also instead of waiting to coach his countries National team,it would've better for him to go back to his former club which I know he'll be considering, if Zidane goes back to Realmadrid  the could win the Champions League and Spanish league trophy going to Marseille could be alot more stressful than the job at Madrid.

Now you see, that's the problem here, Zidane should work with a smaller teams, show his strength and tactics before trying to aim for a big job. A club with already made players that can play to his instructions is all he really needs.
Expecting Zidane yo manage Marseille and other smaller clubs is far from happening. Going back to former club? Personally, I feel like the job was too big for him, that was why he rushed with resigning.

I'll want to see Xabi Alonso in Real Madrid not Zidane. One has been without a concrete job and the other has served and is showing good qualities of a good coach and leaders. The midfielder's in the team will develop faster than anything.

Tottenham Hotspur will be playing against Fulham in their next match. Although it will be a challenging encounter for both teams, I am confident that Tottenham Hotspur will put all effort to keep their top spot and will not want to lose the game. Given how brilliantly Tottenham Hotspur is presently playing, and I am sure Fulham shouldn't be a club that they won't be able to defeat. I am sure Tottenham Hotspur will be able to win the match.

Arsenal is really in form and their performance is nice, but from the way Chelsea is playing lately, Arsenal is going to find it difficult to win Chelsea. I won't be surprised if the match ends in a draw. Pochetino will do everything to win the match or end the match in a draw. Let's see how the match goes, but I am not expecting a win from any of the clubs.

Arsenal match might end up as a draw, but I am expecting a win from Tottenham. Chelsea shouldn't be underestimated, their performance hasn't really been nice this season, but we all have seen improvement in their performance in their last few matches. They might end up surprising everyone in their next match against Arsenal. Even if Chelsea can't take three points home, then they should be able to go home with one point.

For Tottenham Hotspur to remain at the top of the league, they should do better to win against Fulham by winning the game.
They're also at home and can grab the points successfully.
Fulham won Tottenham Hotspur already and that was during EFL Competition.

Arsenal won all the clubs from London last season, this season, a lot of things have really changed. Chelsea the weakest link have picked up a good defense position and we're here galavanting around.
Arsenal are my favorites to win the game. Though, I still haven't ruled out the game ending as a draw.

If Rudi Garcia wants to makeup with all of his blunders, he should make sure he has a fine relationship status with his finest players, those that were available for the fans and club to win the first Seria A in over 30 years.
Expectations are meant to rise, they're definitely defending Champions and should ensure they put up a good fight not to just let go of the Seria A tittle easily even if they would still lose.

Victor Oshime should be protected, he is not just a great asset to Napoli but same with his country Nigeria. If he is fit enough, Nigerians are sure of the goals they would get whenever the African Cup of Nations kicks off.
Napoli will not be able to defend their title this season as I am sure Rudi Garcia will have great difficulty getting his team to play consistently throughout the season. Napoli's form has dropped this season and the increase in form of Inter and Milan and Juventus will also be the reason why Napoli will fail.

Rudi Garcia is not a coach who has much experience in Europe, but if he is able to adapt well by managing his players with the right strategy, then Napoli can remain competitive even if they fail to defend the title.

I'm not inside the dressing room but I'm having the feeling Rudi Garcia is gradually losing the hold of the dressing room and that's the fastest way to get a manager sacked.
It's almost like he is not fit for the job. I feel bad supporting the sack of a manager ( I do feel like this;what if he is my dad ?)
I'm not amongst the management of Napoli, but they should make quick decisions else they'll be dumped down the pit of hell.

God help me I'm not occupied, I do want to watch the game between AC Milan and Juventus. Legends will be there watching the game live.

Care for my Opinion?
That would be to give credits to Girona. They might be fighting for the fight to get into top four clubs or six clubs to make it to the Champions League or Europa League Competition.
Getting all three points against fellow smaller clubs and managing to share points with big clubs is suchba good thing to watch Girona doing.
When they meet clubs like Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and the rest they haven't faced, they should fight to get a draw and that's a perfect way that'll get them into the top four. Avoiding loses to smaller clubs and gaining a point is a good idea.

Have you seen the home record of Girona? No you haven't! They have won all four and lose just one and that was to Real Madrid.
They should still be at home facing Almeria who is also struggling. They've got this, on the 22nd of October they should get three points and go top of the La Liga Table if Real Madrid shares points with Sevilla.
A very reasonable scenario and I agree overall with your statement, that is the best way to stay in the top four of the standings amidst the dominance of Madrid, Barcelona and ATM. I'm trying to look at Girona match schedule in the next five weeks, Girona will face Almeria, Celta Vigo, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano and Bilbao. In my view, Girona can still stay in the top four of the standings if their opponents are like that.

But we haven't seen Girona consistency throughout the season, and certainly didn't pay much attention to them before. What is clear is that Girona deserves to be the dark horse in La Liga this season, although personally I still have a little doubt that they can finish in the UCL zone.


Glad you could also see that.
From the last five teams and clubs to be faced ahead,  Almeria, Osasuna and Celta Vigo can be easily overtaken and won. Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Bilbao would be the big issues here.
Let's say they should get 9 points from those three and two points as a draws. That's a total of evelen points.

They should be watched closely. Though against Real Madrid they had good players on both sides of the wings. They had it going well but they lacked a good goal scorer, another thing here, credits should be given to Real Madrids defense.

Right now I'm thinking about Manchester United's worries because they have a slightly busy match schedule but it's very worrying because maybe Manchester United will play away against Sheff Utd it won't be a big problem and maybe it's quite easy to get a win in that match but after a 3 day break they have to appear in the champions league against Copenhagen who currently have the same performance but have only lost once while Manchester United have lost twice.
After that, a 4 day break, Manchester United has to compete against the big club Manchester City and even though Manchester United will be the host, I am worried that the Manchester United players will run out of energy and lose again against Manchester City.

Casemiro was rumoured to be Injured from the International duties games. That shouldn't be a problem only of they have someone solid enough to substitute him in midfied.
I honestly no longer expects magic to be performed by Manchester United, they get to win fine, they don't, still fine.
Since the Qateris have pulled out from buying Manchester United the club can go to hell because they suck after all of that huge offer.
The fans wants the Glazers gone, but they still want a buyer that still has them inside the club taking 5% and bullshit.

They fail to win against Copenhagen and the should be sent a clear warning that they will not qualify if they fail to win Copenhagen and the rest of the games in that group.
