Milan couldn't even beat Salernitana on the previous week which led them to fall behind Inter and Juventus more. After this they are about to host Sassuolo at San Siro. I'm not very comfortable with Milan to win this game either. Because as you know Inter have only one loss so far and this loss was against Sassuolo home as well.

Thinking how Sassuolo beat the strongest team of the league away I can't really fully trust Milan to beat them.  Sad  I'm only confident about both teams to score for this game. Sassuolo could even be the first team to score.
AC Milan is one of the strongest teams in the Italian Serie A but after starting the season on a very good note, they've deeply declined from their very impressive performance at the start of the season. In their recent games against the top two clubs in the Italian Serie A standings, AC Milan failed to pick a point from either of the games and the fact that Sassuolo defeated Inter Milan at San Siro earlier this season, many are thinking that they stand a good chance of winning two Milan clubs.

AC Milan might not be in their best but against Sassuolo, I think they'll definitely win to increase their chances of finishing in to top four of the Italian league table at the end of the season.

I have never come across this kind of topic in the gambling discussion before. It was just funny to me to be able to see this kind of topic but I had no option than to read in between lines to understand what the topic is all about. As it may sound, gambling has health benefits as op has said above. I have to agree with the point that gambling improves mood which I know is realistic. Also have to agree that gambling relieves stress but both the changing mood to a happy mood and relieving stress depends on the outcome of the gambling. Me someone who is sad and eventually loses big amount of money will even want to commit suicide. The point that gambling makes people happy is only relevant if there is a win.

The only point that sounds ridiculous to me is that gambling helps one to take risk. Although the point is valid however gambling itself is the risk so it does not help anyone to take risk. Should also exist it is not a calculated risk so it is just gambling.

Arsenal have taken an interest in Bayern Munich defender Matthijs de Ligt:
The English side Arsenal are trying to figure out how to sign Dutch and Bayern Munich center Back Matthijs de Ligt, but the move will be unlikely in the January not in summer transfer window. Arsenal already have good players in defense, such as W.Saliba, Gabriel, etc., but I think they are trying to improve it more. Currently Arsenal are in first place in the league table and still hold first place, as well as dominating the English Premier League competition. But let's see if Arsenal beat West ham tonight so they will again take first place because they played fewer matches than Liverpool.
 
At the end of this, I assumed that if Arsenal signed Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich so I think there would be no better defense than Arsenal in English Premier League competition because 24-year-old Matthijs de Ligt is one of the best center-backs, and he has such a good mentality to understand other defenders and stop the attack. But let's see what happens next. Share your opinion with us, guys.

https://twitter.com/TransferNewsCen/status/1740402416191668499?t=EHnDhBb98bHhi_ByFN4kUQ&s=19]

Wanting to sell another defender when they haven't replaced Benjamin Pavard already? What's the plan of Bayern Munich honestly? I don't understand.
Though I've seen that they have plans to sign Rapheal Varane. This is a player committed towards staying with Manchester United I don't know what Thomas Tuchel wants. Varane already aged and I don't think he'll give them the hundred percent they'll be wanting from him.

For Arsenal, they shouldn't make mistake with chase of much defenders, they need a central forward amd that's Ivan Toney. Why invest to get another defender when you'll be seeing Timber return?
If Arsenal can succeed to sign a world class defender like Matthijs de Ligt, then it'll be a great addition to the current squad and would further increase their chances of winning an English Premier League title at the end of the season. Right from his days at Ajax before he was transferred to Juventus and now Bayern Munich, de Ligt is one defender that possesses the leadership qualities of marshaling out the defense line of any team he's playing in abd if he can be convinced to come to.the Emirates stadium, then it'll surely be a great signing for them.

That being said, I think it'll not be easy for such deal to go through as Bayern Munich are currently in need of defenders. Benjamin Pavard is currently injured and that's why the club wouldn't want to release de Ligt

We can't chase luck because we don't know when it will come, and we can only gamble while enjoying every moment of loss and win that we find.
chasing luck by gamblers will only be detrimental. and that can be bad for gamblers.
those who gamble calmly will fare better than those who are too ambitious about their luck. like your statement, however, luck cannot be chased, it all comes when we don't realize it. but often when luck comes, it is considered bad for gamblers who have no control over when to leave the game.
Before we talk about a gambler chasing luck, we should first of all determine whether that gambler is lucky or not. Someone who is naturally not lucky should not be able to chest luck. One thing with gamblers that I do not like very much is their ability to compare themselves with their mates or their gambling peers. There is always this kind of statement that if Mr Tom can be lucky why myself cannot be lucky. That kind of mindset is the mindset that will make them gambling more than they are supposed to just because they want to win as huge as Mr Tom won.

We also see this kind of behavior when gamblers will look at the losses of another gambler and continued to gamble. They will be like if Mr Tom can lose 10,000 in gambling and he is still alive why can't I lose 5,000 in gambling. This is the kind of behavior that leads gamblers to early addiction

It’s quite shocking to witness such a poor performance from Tottenham as they’ve now conceded 4 goals. Having just committed a foul inside the box, Brighton was awarded another penalty that has now given them the 4th goal in this game.
This game seems to be over for Spurs as it wouldn’t be easy to come back from this. I don’t see much chance of Spurs coming back from this. Son couldn’t do nothing for his team as they’re suffering a humiliating loss from Brighton.

We really did not expect that Tottenham would be defeated like this although Tottenham is trying to catch up but it seems there is no time to do it, Tottenham has just scored 2 goals in 5 minutes in the 81st minute and 86 and now the match will end in 5 minutes really unlucky day for Tottenham. If Tottenham could do it since the first half might be a different situation at least they can equate the score.
The game between Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur is over and contrary to my earlier prediction, Tottenham Hotspur were thrashed tonight despite having back some of their first team players that were earlier injured. Joao Pedro was Tottenham Hotspur's biggest threat of the night as he converted two penalties in the game.
Brighton will be very happy with the result and would definitely want to build their confidence from there as we are still in the very busy schedule time of the English Premier League clubs. With the result, I think it'll be very difficult did Tottenham to come back to the top four of the league table

It's true, in fact in life, people who think and hope to be greedy in gambling will definitely get a lot of money and of course will make their family happy too, but sometimes those feelings and hopes won't work because we don't know what obstacles we will experience later.
And it is true that most gamblers have good goals but end up with regrets and setbacks because maybe they did their gambling in the wrong and inappropriate way.
Not all gambles can be a successful gamblers. Thats the harsh reality what most of the gamblers don't accept. At first gambling may seem like a thing for fun but soon we realize it isn't. Its more like a addiction which an addict cannot get rid of. The more we play the more we get addicted never realizing the harm we are doing to ourselves and to our families.
There is obviously no doubt about what you have said. Even in the real life scenario it is not everyone that is successful let alone in gambling which is already a risky type of investment. We do not expect everyone to be successful in gambling and we did not also expect everyone to be unsuccessful. Once gamblers comes up with a conclusion that they are not successful in gambling, it therefore means that more people will not be able to gamble and that will be the end of gambling. Even iin reality it is not so, is designed to favor a few and the majority of the people will not be favored. That creates the imbalance in the opinion of the people where some will be saying against gambling and many will still become gambling.
However it is also not difficult for anyone who wishes not to get addicted in gambling. They will be able to control themselves in the early stages but once they are eventually addicted it takes a lot of job to cure addiction.
2927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 28, 2023, 09:31:06 PM
This is the main problem faced by french league. Psg was leading the competition without even a single team that was able competing against it. No doubt that this league is just another farmer league. Psg will be dominating this league may be more than 1 decade like bundesliga which had been dominating by bayern.
There shall be billionaire who can join in the french league then try to acquire the club in league 1.
Having saudi billionaire to acquire a club in french league will be very interesting. i hope that there will be a new investor to join in the league 1. Psg is obviously needs a new competitor. it was only against the weak club. nothing surpirse to see psg was always winning the league.
-snip
The French League is another farmer’s league that is always carried home by PSG. They’ve nice investments that could help them keep dominating the league for a while another instance is Bayern in the German League. For another team, to come and dominate they’ll be needing massive recruitments and investments so as to be able to match PSG in terms of squad depth and all.

 That will also make the league an interesting one and increase the fierce competition in the league and probably make PSG get more serious in Europe too. Just like Bayern Leverkusen and Dortmund is doing to Bayern Munich In the bundesliga, if another Mediocre team start doing very well and put a threat to their title race you'll see them sitting up to doing better and try to maintain their records and history.

Of course, the French league is a farmers league. PSG is literally farming the trophies every season and that is not going to change because there is no team that can actually give any competition to them. And PSG has actually taking full advantage of that since a long time. Even if PSG does not play very well they are still sure that they are going to win the title. That's what happened in the last couple of seasons if I am not wrong. The other teams are so bad that even though PSG has a lot of problems going on in the team, they are unable to take advantage of that.

This season PSG is again going to win the title and I don't have much doubt about that, some teams might be able to give some competition, but in the end, they won't be able to stay consistent.
The reason why it seems like the French league is a farmer's or a league that is not competitive like the rest of the top five leagues in Europe is the fact that one club in the league have been spending heavily in bringing top quality footballers to the club than than the rest clubs in the league and you don't expect a club with so much quality players like Paris Saint Germaine does to not win the league as successive as they've won.

With the quality of players in the Paris Saint Germaine set up, it'll be very poor if them to not win the French league and abd I don't even expect them not to win the league this season. They have all it takes to win the league and would continue to win the league till when other club managements in the French league begins to sign quality players like PSG

If we talk about luck, it seems to me that Barcelona were helped only by luck that they were able to take the first place in the group, although they did not have strong opponents. If we look at Inter's game, we can say that luck is only a small part of it.
There is no need to debate luck, all teams need it regardless of the good performances of their players in the group phase and in the final match. Barcelona won the group stage this season because of luck, but of course that is not the sole reason why they won the group. Xavi and his players did a good job even when things didn't go to plan. Barcelona couldn't win all their matches like Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, but Barcelona qualified as group winners.

Barcelona should find Napoli a worthy opponent in the round of 16, so it's one of the most exciting matches to look forward to. The Inter vs Atletico Madrid match was also good, while Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City didn't have too tough opponents. They are the favorites, except for Barcelona and Napoli which are difficult to predict.
In as much as a team needs some bits of luck to win the UEFA champions league competition, it's also very worthy to note that winners of the competition in the past years are clubs that were very good during games and didn't reach the final because of how lucky they were. You'll have to be very solid to be able to conquer Europe bit just being lucky.

Barcelona as we all know is one of the traditional clubs in Europe and Ave won the competition several times before now but their current squad I don't think possesses the strength to reach the semi final of the competition this season talk more of playing in the final. They play Napoli in the round of 16 of the competition and I expect that tie to be a difficult one for the both teams.

The first half of the game between Brighton and Tottenham Hotspur are over and surprisingly, Brighton are leading by two goals to nil. Many gamblers who must have staked their money in the game would never had predicted such outcome in the first half of the game and that's why I think that a lot of them will be losing their money tonight. Brighton without doubt is a strong team in the English Premier League but I've never fancied them to be this impressive against Tottenham.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou looks furious in the touchlines and is definitely not happy with the result of the game. He'll give his team a first half talk that'll motivate them to search for a comeback in this game but what I don't know if it'll be possible is if they can actually come back in to this tight game
Tottenham were basically the favorites in this match, but things didn't go according to initial plan. Ange Postecoglou has to think of several strategies that can make Tottemham win this match, but as far as the first half goes, I don't think Ange Postecoglou can do much. Brighton closed the first half with a win, which was good for them.

Ange Postecoglou and his team have struggled to penetrate Brighton's defense so far, so that was one issue he had to think about in the second half. Meanwhile, in another match, Arsenal trailed West Ham 0-1 through Tomáš Souček's goal. The referee finally approved Tomáš Souček's goal after reviewing VAR.
The second half of the game has kicked off and is already more than ten minutes played but the shoreline haven't still changed as Brighton are still leading by two goals to nil and are still even playing better.
Tottenham manager seems like he's not getting this one and probably doesn't know what to do at the moment to change the current scoreline. Considering the current performance of both teams in the game tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if Tottenham Hotspur concede more goals before the end the the game.
2930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 28, 2023, 08:37:29 PM
Yes, it's true that the Real Madrid squad is much better than the Leverkusen squad. If we looking at the current situation, Leverkusen is still quite stable with a squad that is usually at Leverkusen. What if Xabi Alonso trains Real Madrid, which has a more capable squad? of course Xabi Alonso will achieve success with Real Madrid and will probably get more than 1 title in 1 season, I really look forward to Xabi Alonso coaching a club like Real Madrid after all this will also make Xabi Alonso a successful coach if he trains a big club and is able to wins title.
A coach will be able to bring out the best potential from a club if the club has players and a style of play that suits the coach. That doesn't mean that if you are very great as a coach at a club, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be even greater if you coach a club with higher quality players. There are many factors such as the coach's approach to the players or how the coach manages the existing squad to be able to play with the expected tactics. I agree that Xabi is a great young coach at the moment but if he were to coach Real Madrid then it would be a different challenge.
I believe that Xabi would be definitely perfect situation, I mean he still has age on his side and that means we are going to end up with him being able to manage that team for as long as possible.

I know that it is not going to end up with anything that crazy, like Xabi being their manager for 20 years, which his age means he technically could but we all know that won't happen, nobody ever managed a team for 20 years in that size teams aside from maybe Alex Ferguson, but I think he could do at least 5-6 seasons easily, that is a good thing for Real, maybe even as high as 10 years which would make him a legend at the club, and if he does bring in some success, like 50%+ la liga titles on his seasons, and a few UCL cups as well, then it would be lovely to keep him.
Real Madrid is a club that's known for their intimidating records of success when it comes to European football and have been able to hire the best managers to take care of the first team of the club over the years but their current manager Carlo Ancelotti who has also won the UEFA champions league with them will be leaving at the end of the season and that has raised concerns over who's experienced or capacitated enough to replace him at Real Madrid.

To many, they believe that Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso is the best man that'll replace Ancelotti when he leaves the club next summer. Considering the impressive performance of Xabi Alonso this summer and the fact that he's a former Real Madrid footballer, I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Real Madrid from bringing the Spanish manager to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer.

Brighton are up by one goal again Tottenham Hotspur right now and it's just 23minutes into the match, I think Tottenham Hotspur has not really worked on their defense and they keep conceding cheap goals all the time.
But I must give it to them they also don't find it hard to score goals too so this game is definitely going to spark up along the line my prediction even as Tottenham is on the back foot is that the game would end with Tottenham Hotspur wining the match.

Everyone seems to have to be prepared to lose money because Tottenham today, how not surprisingly Brighton managed to take a 2-0 lead over Tottenham within 23 minutes of the first half. Tottenham have not made many attempts to score goals, while Brighton has looked good since the match started. Tottenham's opportunity to turn things around remains, but so far Tottenham have failed to develop their game and find solutions to score goals.

Arsenal vs West Ham is a good match to watch too, it might be interesting if West Ham is able to keep up with Arsenal until the end of the match. If that happens, then Manchester City will really feel lucky because they have the opportunity to reduce the gap in points between the two to 1 point. Arsenal has a high probability of winning at home, but I hope this is not an easy match for them.

Brighton could be a really tough challenge for Tottenham by the way. Because it is an away match for Tottenham before anything else. Both teams have many missing players though. Mitoma has been the key player for Brighton so far and he is also injured. This could have a really serious impact on Brighton's performance in offense.  Sad

Maddison is still injured for Tottenham also but Richarlison and Son are doing well anyway. Tottenham need to be in their good form in the attacking side to win this match one way or another. They did it in their last two head-to-heads so they can do this once again.  Smiley
Brighton and Hove Albion started the season on a very good note and were regarded as a team that were surely gonna finish the season in the top six of the English Premier League table but in recent weeks, they've not been as good as they were in the beginning of the season and that's why I don't fancy them winning against Tottenham Hotspur tonight.
 
Tottenham Hotspur who were once at the top of the English Premier League table before they went on a losing streak are trying to find their way back to the top four of the league table and would definitely want to win the game tonight but a shock from Brighton is still very much possible

I think should not be difficult for Arsenal to win, even though we know the opposing team is always unpredictable, but I think this is playing at home of course Arsenal will control the field and that is important for the host.

West Ham will not be a challenge for Arsenal today because we all know Arsenal have been a great team throughout the season. West Ham are not doing bad either, but I think they are not capable of winning Arsenal in these games. In my opinion, even though I don’t know how the game will end and sometimes things change in football, Arsenal will be playing at home, which will even boost their chances of winning them since they will definitely dominate the match because if they are at home, they won’t allow another team to come and beat them at home.

Quote
Although West Ham has confidence after beating Man United I think this is a little different from Arsenal they will not be able to (my prediction) but still I will admit from the beginning that Arsenal will win it.

Manchester United and Arsenal performances cannot be compared. You know that Manchester United have been doing very poorly this season. West Ham are better than Manchester United. You know that, right? So even if they have some confidence after eating Manchester United, I don’t think that confidence they gather is enough to beat Arsenal even at Arsenal home. However, I also predict that Arsenal will win the big West Ham. Let's wait and see how the result of the match will be.
West Ham have been able to beat top English Premier League clubs this season and that's why I think it's absolutely possible for them to pick all three points from their league game against Arsenal tonight. Without taking anything away from Arsenal, there's every possiblity that they can be convincingly beaten by West Ham tonight if they in any way try to underestimate the footballing strength of their opponents tonight.

But considering how consistent Arsenal have been this season and the fact that they are very much in competition to win the English Premier League title, Arsenal would never want to underestimate their opponents tonight and would surely play the game in their full strength. I think it'll be a difficult game for both sides but I expect Arsenal to win the game.

I wouldn't say Neymar is the only star player in the Brazilian Squad. His performance has not been up to the mark in recent times. Ancelotti is rumored to be taking over Brazil's management. He can bring the best out of the squad that he has been given. The 2021-22 Real Madrid UEFA Champions League was an example. He made Benzema won a Ballon D’or. So if he can join the team, I think Brazil can do good in the World Cup 2026 and probably can complete their hexa world cup dream.

Brazil has players full of talent and I believe Ancelotti can bring the best out of them. He is already managing MIlitao, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo. So he is used to train them which is even better.
Neymar will absent on Copa America after confirming his injury need longer time for recovering, its not problem for Carlo Ancelotti will be Brazil head coach on Copa America because he has many alternative with attacking line from Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison. I believe under Carlo Ancelotti have work with many top Brazil players with club not get difficult for them how to understand with Ancelotti scheme.
I think most important for Ancelotti how to get fans trusted how to get good achievement on Copa America before facing match in World Cup qualifier, left few months later Brazil will play on Copa America and give first trophy will make Ancelotti easily for target winning FIFA World Cup 2026.
.
Neymar us arguably the best player in the Brazilian national team for the past one decade and that's why it's very understandable that the Brazilian fans are gonna miss him as he's been confirmed that he wouldn't be part of the national team that'll be playing in next Copa America. That being said, the Brazilian national team as we all know is one of the most talented national team in the world as majority of their players are big star in their respective clubs especially in Europe.
They still have star players that can perfectly fit in to the same position that Neymar Jr plays for the national team. Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr can play in place of Neymar as well his Real Madrid teammate Rodrygo. It is believed that Carlo Ancelotti will take over the management of the Brazilian national team immediately after the expiration of the current European football season which will be his last season with Real Madrid and as a manager who has been managing over four of the current Brazilian team members in his Real Madrid team, I believe he's gonna know how best to manage the Brazilian national team perfectly.

I also hope to watch a much more exciting match between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce this time. Both teams will make a lot of money surely. I mean even for the losing side it is quite a good amount to play for. But there is still a big gap between the winner prize and the prize for the losing side. Both teams should be able to make an extra effort to get the biggest prize money.
That match will surely be very difficult to predict because the both teams has the same performance and pattern of play also considering how they played the last time, it was actually a very interesting March because the both tried all there possible best to win but could not, although Galatasaray perform really well on that match considering going to the home of Fenerbahce and hold them to a goal less draw, it was really a nice performance for them.

And perhaps let's see how there next match will be considering the fact that Fenerbahce will be coming to the home of Galatasaray this time, so i wonder how the outcome of the match will be because the both teams are seriously in need of the wining considering there points on the table and also if Fenerbahce lose the match, Galatasaray automatically become the first position on there table, although considering the fact that Galatasaray hold them to draw on there home there is a higher chance for Galatasaray to win them as they are coming to there home.
Last week at the home of Fenerbahce in Istanbul, Fenerbahce played out a goalless draw against Galatasaray which was contrary to a lot of people's opinion concerning the game as they've earlier thought that many goals will be scored in the game since it was a game between the two most prolific teams in the Turkish Super Lig.

despite the goalless draw in that last week encounter between the two clubs, football fans across the globe are of the opinion that today's Super Cup will provide us with goals and I think I agree to that. It's less than six hours before the commensement of the game and I can't wait to watch the much anticipated game.

There is nothing like a shame in Victor Osimhen staying in Napoli and playing his game. Napoli is a big team and he is valued at the club and he is having a play time at the club. Osimhen didn't start his football career at Napoli so he has experienced different clubs and he still young and has many years ahead of him. He shouldn't move when he thinks it's not the right time for him to do so.
His performance went down in this season, they're struggle in any league/cup, I guess this could be a good time for Napoli to sell both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia because they have a value. Napoli is just an average team, so it's not surprising if many players join Napoli as a stepping stone.

If they can't perform in their new teams or already old, usually they will back to their old teams.
Before Victor Osimhen recently extended his contract with Napoli, he was still under contract with the Italian champions till the summer of 2025 and that's I think his decision to extend his contract with Napoli was borne out of the club's interest to make sure he doesn't leave the club anytime soon. If they had any plan of selling Victor Osimhen to other European clubs, they wouldn't have extended his contract.

Though I  was surprising that Osimhen decided to remain at the club after having few internal issues with the club recently, I think it's also good to note that the Nigeria international is very happy to remain at the club. Signing a new contract though doesn't stop Osimhen from leaving the club anytime soon, but I think the club has resolved with the player to have more time with them before he can leave

You're the gambler involved and I don't think welcoming all other people's opinions is a good idea for you to determine what to do for your gambling lifestyle, if you think gambling can be well profitable enough to depends your earnings from it then why not shoot the first strike and see what might be the outcome of it and learn this by yourself, taking other people's opinions may not be a perfect match for you because we can all have different ideas and way of approach.
Gambling will depend entirely on you and the money you gamble with will be at your own risk. You can decide to gamble if you think that you can make a profit in gambling by changing some strategy in gambling. The thing I always say when it comes to gambling is that gambling should be done within your control. Yes everyone aims to earn enough money by gambling but the addiction of money income should not reach excessive levels. When your gambling addiction reaches excessive levels, you cannot control yourself and instead of making money, you lose money. You don't always have to rely on luck, sometimes you will need to make a decision with your conscience. If you can make a conscious decision about gambling then gambling is fine for you.
As adults, we are responsible for any action we choose to take as far as it has to do with our personal life and financial engagements are one the primary decisions that an adult must be very cautious and careful while taking. Gambling is one engagement that's wholly about money and requires utmost carefulness while engaging in it as well as taking decisions on best ways to gamble. However, I think we sometimes need few person's opinions while gambling especially when we know that our gambling engagements most times doesn't end well probably because of our poor gambling skills.

We must learn how to take other people's advice when they're trying to make us stay responsible in gambling even when we are the once who finance our gambling. Taking some of these advises will help us stay regulated in our gambling engagements.

When Manchester City was one goal behind at the start of the match, I was quite scared. In just 29 minutes, Everton's young player Jack Harrison made a powerful attack and touched the ball in the Manchester City goal post. At that time, many questions arose in the minds of every lover of Manchester City, this time if Haaland was on the field for Manchester City, then this goal would not have been possible. And until half-time Manchester City were unable to score any goals but the attack was rampant.And later Manchester City roared back to their former form and managed to score 3 goals in a row. And at the end of the match Manchester City gained three points which occupied the fourth place in the points table.

Everton's early goal against Manchester City yesterday was surprising to many because of the fact that City have go more quality player than the Toffees but that doesn't mean that if Erling Haaland was playing, it'll stop Everton from scoring the first goal of the game because Haaland is a to 9 striker and not a defender nor a defensive midfielder. We've seen Manchester City lose games that Haaland featured this season and so I think Manchester City are very beatable even when they have Haaland in their mix.

That being said, Manchester City responded in the best possible form yesterday to that early Everton goal. They played like a team who are still very much in contention for the English Premier League title by coming from a goal down to score three goals and grab all three points from that game.

Very decent goal from Foden while Pickford find the ball very difficult to pick  Cheesy. Manchester City is a team that rarely disappoints. From the beginning of the match i knew they will still take the lead on the score line. Regardless of how fast Everton were lucky to get a goal, they will eventually lose the game to Manchester City. They are no match for the premier league champions. So bad John Stones has been taken off as injured. His absence may leave a mark on the performance of Manchester City for some period. We saw that when Rodri was injured as well.

At the beginning of the game it was as if Everton where going to put up a strong fight when i initially saw the 1-1 draw, however Manchester City still had to prove that they were the defending champions, immediately after that penalty was scored, i knew that more goals where coming because Manchester City began to mount excessive pressure and controlling of the midfield as they often do.
But lately I must say that Manchester City haven't really been dishing out that fire power that they possess, there has been a great level of decline in their conquest this season and if care is not taken, they might not repeat what happened last seasons, after coming behind to take league from Arsenal.
After Everton scored the first goal of the game, I was of the opinion that it was gonna be a very long night for Manchester City but little did I know that the reigning World, European and English champions had a totally different thought from mine in that game. After Manchester City scored a goal to equalize the game, they dominated the rest part of the game and was rewarded with three more goals which confirmed that they were gonna have all three points from that encounter.

City without doubt were having a better campaign last season than they're having this season which has made me question Manchester City's strength to challenge for the English Premier League title this season but with the result of the league game tonight, I think Manchester City still have a great chance of coming back to retain the English Premier League title.

Chelsea ended the first half with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and I kind of wonder which game that would be supervised by coach Pochettino and the Chelsea team won't conceive a goal, 70 percent of the games that he has managed so far this season he hardly won or go home without conceiving a single in the end and this is bad of him and the entire current Chelsea's squad. Obviously it has become certain that Pochettino lacks defensive ability, and I'm beginning to think that this is where one of his problems lies, and the earlier he takes care of it the better for the team going forward.
Mudryk helped chelsea to get the first goal against palace but olise was also equalizing the score but medueke gets penalty and he has been successfully executing it which is good for the club. Chelsea has very high ball possessions but the attacking lines seem unaffective enough in the match against olise. This is also making the club tried so hard but penalty has been helping chelsea to win the game against crystal palace. This is also become the main problem owned by pochettino's club caused by the attacking lines are always being so wasteful.
Jackson is always getting offside which is the main problem owned by the club. Im wondering what solution prepared by pochettino for this. Chelsea gets three points but the performance from attacking lines was so bad.
Chelsea needs also to put this as the main concern. The current striker is no more than a comedian. he was always offiside and jackson doesn't even understand about how to get best position.
It was nice to see Chelsea back to winning ways again and I can say that Mykhailo Mudryk was one of the best players on the pitch tonight to help Chelsea achieve that feat. The Ukraine international scored the first goal of the game which was later cancelled by Crystal Palace second half goal. It took Madueke late goal to give Chelsea the maximum three points from the game.

Chelsea's main problem since the start of the season is the team's poor ability to create goalscoring chances during games and almost cost them the win tonight. Players like Mudryk, Palmer, Sterling and others needs to step up their games in ensuring that the club becomes consistent with winning their games.
