Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich managed won with a same score of 3-0 and also, in fact, the opponents they faced did not have a good effort to provide resistance to the favorite team in this match. So yes, so far Bayer Leverkusen are still looking pretty good at the top of the Bundesliga table . I think, if for example Bayer Leverkusen can stay at the top of the standings until half of this season, then it looks like Bayer Leverkusen will have a great chance to be able to win the Bundesliga trophy this season. But yes, at least the season is still long and maybe later Bayer Leverkusen will experience unsuitable results and maybe these things make competition in the title race more difficult.

The top of the table is still very close and Girona keeps on delivering these great performances. They were promoted into La Liga just two years ago and finished the last season as 10th and as it looks now they are ready to take the next step and make further progress. This looks very solid and stable so far, no real signs of weaknesses and no crack in their outstanding shape which they have been showing for weeks now. I think the first goal for them is to play like this until the season halftime and then make a first evaluation and set their goals. With 22 points won already it is hard to imagine how they could still be dealing with the relegation zone at some point.

Back to back EPL defeats for Pep Guardiola and City, i know Pep is a tactical genius, but i don't think he got his tactics right this time, it was almost like City were playing for a draw at some point. Arsenal were more daring and i think they deserved the win, i know the match was somewhat 50-50, but i think they controlled the game better and had most of the desire to go on and win the game, which they did.

City have missed Rodri immensely, they have lost the 3 games he missed (vs Newcastle, Wolves and Arsenal), this just goes to show how important the Spaniard is to City. After he lost his head and got sent off against Nottingham Forest, the question was if City would pay for it, which they did. Rodri would be available for their next game against Brighton after the international break, but City are going to have a tough run of big games in the next couple of weeks and we'd have to see how well City react.

I understand that Manchester City needed almost all the players that they had to actually achieve the success that they did. It wouldn’t have happened by only having HAALAND.  but at the same time, he was a big performer for them as well. I would not say that Manchester United actually would have been able to win all the trophies that they did without Haaland. They even used him as a bait. He was performing so well that the opponent actually guarded him all the time and while doing so left holes in the defense which Manchester City was able to exploit.

Anyway, I always think that a player should not move to another club if he does not find anything uncomfortable with his current club. So I don’t think he should move. At least not now.

Romelo Lukaku is playing very well. He scored 10 goals in a full season with Inter Milan. He scored only 8 goals with Chelsea. But with Mourinho's help, he has been quite successful with Roma so far. He scored 5 goals in 6 SerieA matches. And also managed to score two goals in the Europa League match. He has already scored 7 goals in Roma jersey. With that consistency and no injuries, Lukaku is undoubtedly going to have the best time of his career with Roma. However, Dybala's performance has deteriorated somewhat. I expected a slightly better performance from Dybala. Lukaku and Belotti are in a good rhythm now.

La Liga matchday 9 : Granada vs Barcelona

Under pressure for Barcelona against Granada depend current teams standing on relegation zone because their rival standings team above Real Madrid and Girona get positive result on last match. Girona who second standings position awhile success take three points against Cadiz and Real Madrid who manage top position standing success defeated Osasuna and have 2 points gap from Girona on second placed.
Barcelona should take three points against Granada if want back to second place, due their composition not complete yet after Robert Lewandowski got injury and right now they have several players absent such as Pedri and Frenkie De Jong will make difficult choose for Xavi Hernandez who will replace crucial position.

I think you're being a little hasty. Onana is a goalkeeper who played in the final last year and has reflexes that can turn the match around when he is not on a really bad day. Maybe we shouldn't be in a hurry. It might be nice to keep him on reserve for a while and wait for him to recover, so we can see how Altay will perform. He was really bad in the Galatasaray match. I hope he recovers soon.

Haaland is the best player that Manchester City currently has. Of course the club will not sell its star players very easily because Haaland is a player who really suits the club playing style and since Haaland arrival at Manchester City he has immediately shown his talent and has scored a lot. goal for Manchester City.

It seems like Haaland feels comfortable at Manchester City and Haaland will really develop his career at the club and it is possible that Manchester City will continue to extend his contract, but if Manchester City can find a truly suitable replacement, of course Manchester City will sell Haaland at a very high cost, of course to recruit other better players so that they can maintain their performance from year to years.

Didn't expect that these 3 matches ended in a draw, this is the English League which is difficult to predict....

Now the Arsenal vs Man City match is a few minutes away.

The line up has come out, they both of course have fielded the main squad in this important match, I feel this is Man City's victory, I don't expect another draw like the previous match.

Judging by Leicester City's performance since the start of the season, I'll be very surprised not to see them win the EFL championship this season. Out of the 11 league games they've played so far this season, Leicester has won am impressive  10. Ipswich also has been very impressive this season as they're just two points behind
EFL League leaders leaders Leicester. It's still very early to predict who wins the EFL championship but I think Leicester City are gonna get promoted to the English Premier League next season.

The duo of Bellingham and Vini Jr have been more instrumental in producing goals and defending right from the opponents half. I like the fact that Bellingham has been able to reproduce an outstanding performance over again, but with harder matches coming up, that will be the true litmus test.
Vini Jr faking a pose with an invisible camera taking shots of Bellingham after a beautiful goal, is all over social media and it paints real Madrid as good contenders for major trophies this season.
Rayo were too relaxed in their match and it did cost them the point they would have fully gotten. If I were the coach, I would increase their training sessions with more weight use.

Europa seems easier for Bayer Leverkusen as they keep good results in games, absolutely nothing to worry about. Facts, with the present performance of Bayer Leverkusen, they don't belong to Europa football, rather upgrade to the big boys competition, talking about the UEFA Champions League. That's certainly were they fought to be, because last season, they didn't meet up the expectations of the fans and high competition in Bundesliga. Perhaps this season, with consistent performance, they might make a difference wit outstanding results in league games. Bayer Leverkusen have improved in the past months and I must commend Xabi Alonso for the good job he's doing for the team.

At first I thought Chelsea were going to let their fans down today when they conceded an early goal in the 1st half but later in the match their game play changed and they were beginning to perform very well and communicate with each other well, their first goal was very interesting, what a cross from sterling that lead to an own goal by  Burnley defender Al-Dakhil, I think sterling's perform today was fantastic and he contributed alot to his teams success in today's match.

 The come back was Amazing and Scott McTominay really deserved the MOTM award for rescuing his team today, what surprised me was that when he was about being substituted into the pitch the commentator was wondering if Scott McTominay would be able to do same magic he does for his country Scotland and he did it, finally United fans would put on smiley faces once again lol.

 

His career ends in shame. How disgraceful for a player with his record. Whenever he is remembered in history, this will be pointed out that he failed a drug test.

Inter dropping points so soon, scoring the first two goals in the game and so quickly and not being able to defend it too. The big opportunity for AC Milan to take the top of the table depends on them winning Genoa which they should be able to do. Their game is the last game for today, and since they know how Inter Milan played in their game, they will double their effort to make sure they take advantage of the mess up of Inter Milan.

Bayern Munich have a perfect squad. You won't find any weakness in this team. Their defense midfield and attack are equally strong. And they are consistently able to play well. The aim of this team is to secure the Champions League title this year. And with this goal, the team is slowly moving forward.

In the first two matches against Manchester United and Copenhagen, Munich's performances were very consistent. And they secured victory in both matches. Even if Galatasaray can win against Manchester United, they will beat a team like Bayern Munich, I don't think this team is that strong. If Munich doesn't make any big mistakes in this match, they can easily secure 3 points.

I still see several newspapers reporting on the acquisition of Manchester United by Qatar, but it seems that the truth of these reports cannot be verified. Moreover, it was my country's local newspaper that reported it. In fact, the decline in Manchester United's performance was due to many problems occurring. So, it's not because Ten Hag is incompetent. After all, previously he was able to bring United to finish in the top 4 of the Premier League last season.
If only, if Ten Hag were given the freedom to buy the players he really wants with unlimited funds. but this did not happen in the last summer window. He will build his team stronger than before, but due to several problems and FFP sanctions, Ten Hag ultimately only has a limited budget. automatically, he must carefully bring in players according to their spending budget.

Well, I agree with what you said. Basically, the Glazer brothers no longer have the respect of the Red Devil supporters, both in England and supporters around the world. it would be better, if Glazer really released their shares to Qatar. Automatically, little by little United has the potential to return to its glory days.
Talking about the dispute between Jadon Sancho and the head coach, Erik Ten Hag, we don't really know what is going on within their camp. I prefer that those who are in conflict resolve their problems rather than commenting on things that we don't really know about the problems that are occurring. but what is certain is that Sancho's future is not good. which means, there must be a common ground to end this dispute.

At least from the 4 purchases made by Ancellotti, 2 of them have given good results because not only Jude but also Joselu who performed well even though he sometimes only came on as a substitute. But there are still Fran Garcia and Brahim Diaz who until now have rarely been given the opportunity to fill the Madrid squad to play.
With Jude who seems to be comfortable as a second striker, of course this is something very good for Madrid because he was very productive at the beginning of this season even with the 2 goals he scored at this time he was comfortable with a difference of 3 goals from other players in the top score.

Such a lucky win for United right ? Because if this wouldn't have happened today , I'm sure Ten Haag would have been already history by now. Even with this , I'm still sure they will look to replace him in winter break because it's clearly that United is playing poor with him as main coach.

Instead , I must say I liked how Chelsea played today and if they continue like this , they might surprise us with a winning streak of at least 4 games. 

Erik Ten Hag did not handle the issue of Jadon Sancho even if it was the player that made the biggest mistake. There are some comments that a coach shouldn't make against his players. Such comments can reduce the value of the player. He wouldn't have publicized that the reason for dropping the player in the game was because of lack of fitness. And Sancho wouldn't have also countered his coach publicly. This issue would have been handled internally.

Sancho was asked to apologise but he refused. His refusal propelled Erik to ban him from the team. He doesn't train, eat it even stay in the dressing room with the senior team. But the English player has made his decision to move to his former club in January. Manchester United might ask for as much as £40m from  Borussia Dortmund.
