Napoli will not be worried about the strengths they have this season even though Napoli are also very aware that the strengths of their rivals have also begun to increase, such as Inter Milan and AC Milan. This season Napoli will continue to fight for the title because they still have a very long time so they will continue to use it as best as possible in every match. And in the next match I think Napoli will win because Genoa when facing Napoli, Genoa is often beaten by Napoli.
A loss in three games should not be used to judge the performance of Napoli but there is a need to worry. They are the defending champions and were in good form last season. The Italian league is becoming highly competitive and a loss took Napoli down to the sixth position. Napoli coach Rudi Garcia has already started complaining about some players after the loss against Lazio. He specifically singled out Victor Osimhen that his second-half performance was below standard. The coach may fail to unite the players if he keeps talking them down. The next game will be against Genoa, hopefully, Napoli will come out victorious.

Napoli are over and have no hope of winning the title this season because after all, teams like Milan and Inter also could not defend the title in the previous season. Unless, if Napoli is a team that always has great dominance in Serie A in every season, then Napoli will be able to have a great chance to be able to defend the title this season. But in reality, every season Napoli doesn't always have good performance throughout the season, so of course we can't expect much from Napoli this season. I wonder, why everyone still expects Napoli to be able to have the same performance as last season, even though at this moment their coach is also different with last season. So of course, there is no strong guarantee for Napoli to have the same good performance as last season. Lol!

Don't allow their new points to deceive you that Napoli will not win this trophy again, because AC Milan and Inter will drop points when they started meeting strong teams that are well prepared to battle any team in this season. We saw how strong Napoli was last season and we can still believe in them that they can still do better in this season because they have won their two matches to embraced 6 points to allow their fans have hope that they will make it happen again in this season. I think, this new coach has potential skills like the previous coach, which is the advantage that is making people to believed in Napoli and their players are still playing well to improve the team.
I don't think it'll be wise for anyone to think that Napoli is out of the race for who wins the Italian Serie A title this season because they lost one of their first three league games and are just three points behind league joint league leaders Inter Milan and AC Milan.
That being said, we also have to tell ourselves the truth when it comes to the performance of the Milan clubs since the start of the season because they've been nothing short of incredible and that's why many believes that the scudetto will be won by either of them. Napoli who are the defending champions still have a very good chance to change that feeling among Italian Serie A fans and by putting out great performances that'll help them retain the title once again

Glazers playing hardball with rumors of the club been taken off the market for reasons unknown, and market's responding with a 18.%+ drop which translates to a 600million plus drop and if these guys are trying to be selfish and protect their interests...this club will lose value more.. and should the sell happen without the right guy taking over, expect another crash of Utds value!! Honestly, what I dont understand is why are the glazers still holding onto United when its debt written all over the club with no progress to show for which they have failed to zero down..are these guys going to leave or not for the club to get better players in the future...
It's over 10 years that majority of Manchester United fans has been seriously calling for a new ownership as they ain't any more comfortable with how the Glazers are running the affairs of the club. But from what we've been seeing since the fans fallout, the Glazers would still make strong moves to sell the club but wouldn't at the end of everything. I don't think there's a genuine motive to see the club now and the earlier the fans of the club comes to terms with that the better for the for them.
Though their presence as the main decision takers in the club is costing them so many things but as it stands, there's nothing anyone can do about it

September 7 have been said to be the date for the final and deadline transfer for the Saudi League

Liverpool are still considering it, letting Salah leave is like shooting themselves in the foot - feet.

Sancho also has been linked with an exit from Man United, it is either he leaves before the deadline closes or sits fof the remaining months to leave Manchester United permanently.

The problem is that they let Salah Leave they can't replace his spot with a new player, they can only get a free agent or one from yougers Liverpool's teams.
It is a difficult option if Salah really goes to a Saudi league team. To be honest, it's a bit unfortunate if Salah leaves Liverpool, but on the other hand, it's a lot of money for Liverpool. Is it possible that Liverpool are ready for the problems that will arise later on the field? I don't think they are ready without Salah so it will be a difficult week to decide.
For Mohammed Salah to give the Saudi club that came for his services the order to talk to Liverpool, he's already shown interest in playing in the Saudi League but what stopped him from moving to the Saudi League was because of the fact that Liverpool rejected the 150 millions pounds offer that was tabled.
From the reports I've read so far, the club is still preparing another deal that could rise to 200 million pounds and I don't think Liverpool will be able to reject such amount of money for a player that's above 30 years.
3484  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 06, 2023, 10:53:32 PM
Yannick Carrasco could have much better options than playing for the Saudis. This 30-year-old palyer had one year left on his contract with Atletico Madrid and he asked the team to let him go.
Atletico Madrid earned 15 million from this deal which is a good amount of money for a palyer like Yannick Carrasco.
He signed a three-year contract with Al Shabab.




In the end, football is just like any other career option, and players usually change teams when they get an offer which is difficult to reject. Talking about Al Shabab, it is not one of the teams under the ownership of the Saudi Public Investment Fund. But despite that, the team management has been successful in attracting good players from around the world. Yannick Carrasco will get an opportunity to compete against Ronaldo, Neymar or Benzema whenever his team plays against Al Nassr or Al Hilal. So at this point, I don't think that there is a need to talk about this move in such a negative manner.
Previously Yannick Carrasco was linked with Barca, but the final result should see Yannick Carrasco go to the Saudi League.
Al Shabab did not get good results in their first 5 matches. bringing in Yannick Carrasco is a pretty good move to strengthen their midfield. but it's possible that it won't be enough to change the game for the better. Al Shabab may have to bring in a few more players, like AL Nassr did when Ronaldo just came to the team.
maybe Yannick Carrasco will need a lot of adjustment to his new team.
Yannick Carrasco is a phenomenal player with great attacking abilities and would surely serve a great signing for Al Shabab if he doesn't suffer to many injuries at the Saudi club.
The truth is Carrasco will not find it easy to adapt quickly in the Saudi League but when he's finally  learnt the playing pattern of his team and becomes familiar with the weather conditions of the country, he'll surely be banging goals for his new club

This season Napoli will continue to fight for the title because they still have a very long time so they will continue to use it as best as possible in every match. And in the next match I think Napoli will win because Genoa when facing Napoli, Genoa is often beaten by Napoli.
Napoli winning the scudetto the previous season with stellar performance from the players and a good solid mappings carried out by Luciano Spalleti. Napoli was competitive enough that they keep long distance between there pre-eminent contenders, not having a single chance to draw closer to Napoli. However this season is a new one and we expects competitive strength from these elite clubs. Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma are the elite clubs we're hoping they would lift the scudetto. Perhaps there's enough time for these clubs to prepared themselves for the tough long run ahead.

Napoli under Luciano Spalletti last season had their best campaign in over 30 seasons and crowned their collective efforts but winning the Italian Serie A title. However after the celebration of conquering the the Italian league, their former manager decided to leave the club which served as a surprise to so many people.
The club's management appointed Rudi Garcia to take up from where Luciano stopped but going by what we've seen far this season, the Italian champions might not be winning the league title again this season because there are other Italian teams that are currently doing better than Napoli this season.

I think in the Bundesliga Bayern Munchen will continue to dominate as usual, I am optimistic for them in the Domestic League. It is true that the addition of Harry Kane makes them more complete and more confident to face the competition. Even though Laverkusen currently sits at the top of the standings, there will definitely be changes after the second meeting on September 16.

For the Champions League, In my opinion Munchen toughest opponent in the group phase is Man United. Galatasaray and Copenhagen are not significant obstacles for Tuchel squad in group A.
With their current condition, it seems likely that something like that will happen again.
Last season their obstacle was the lack of strikers who could break down the opponent's defense because of the absence of a pure striker for them but for now things like this need not be thought of because there is already a figure of Kane who can be a good choice for Tuchel to position himself as a targetman. On the other hand, now they also have a better scheme and Tuchel already knows what he has to do compared to before when he just came to replace Nagelsmaan so in this case saying with confidence that Bayern's dominance will happen again I think this is still possible.
After critically analysis of what has transpired in the German Bundesliga competition this season, I think Bayern Munich's dominance in the league isn't gonna stop any time soon not now that the club has signed a great replacement for their former world class striker Robert Lewandowski with the addition of Harry Kane to the club.
The quality of players in the Bayern Munich set up is too intimidating when compared to rest 17 clubs in the league and that's why it looks certain that they'll still retain the title even when we are still very much in the early stages of the competition

Tottenham are doing incredibly well these days. Despite losing Kane they are even better at the beginning of the season. But the main reason why they were bad previously wasn't Kane of course. It was the poor kind of team performance. But now they are doing a really good work under the management of Ange Postecoglou.

He made a change in the attacking line like having Son in Richarlison's position. This worked great so Richarlison might need to wait in the subs for a while. His performance has been poor lately. I'm curious about whether Tottenham can even stay in the title race this season.
Harry Kane before his departure from Tottenham Hotspur was the club's most important player but judging by the results of the North London club so far this season including winning against Manchester United, I think Tottenham isn't missing their former talisman that much.
The club has found a playing system that's helping them win games and ate yet to be defeated in the English Premier League thus season. Son Heung-Min has taken the leadership role at the club and with his hatrick in their last league game, I think it's safe to say that he's not playing under any form of pressure

I just can't fully believe in PSG to advance to next round. I will need to see how they will perform in the first group games before anything else. Because their group isn't an easy one. All teams are capable ones. PSG had serious difficulties against Benfica in the previous season as you know.

I think this time it will be even more difficult for them. Because they don't have the same squad now and the newly joined players are still in adaptation phase. Mbappe has even a bigger responsibility this season.
Judging by the quality of players that are currently in the  at Paris Saint Germaine squad, I think progressing to the knockout stages of this season's UEFA Champions League competition shouldn't be a big deal for the French champions.
In a group that consists of other clubs like Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Newcastle United Luis Enrique should know the perfect way to make his team progress very easily because he's got all the big players that can help him to do it

Jude Bellingham scored 5 goals in his first 4 games for Real Madrid. Ronaldo had the same performance in his Real Madrid career and scored 5 goals in his first 4 games. Jude Bellingham is not a striker or a winger but he has the same record as Ronaldo. This is an extraordinary performance. Courtois, Militao and Vinicius Junior were absent but he took more responsibility and contributed to the team. Real Madrid were out of the title race last season. This year Jude Bellingham can keep Real Madrid in the race. He is still very young but he has the talent to do it.

Ancelotti is likely to have made Jude Bellingham the second striker in Real Madrid's game plan. In the formation, Bellingham plays as an attacking midfielder, but I think Ancelotti has given him a bigger role which in the end Bellingham was able to utilize well. I know Bellingham scored the same goals as Ronaldo in his first 4 matches, but he is not comparable to Ronaldo.

After all, you can't expect Bellingham to always be able to maintain this good record in every match. He can be expected to help attack, but you can't expect him to score every game unless Ancelotti expects it to be.
Jude Bellingham is a great player that posseses intimidating football abilities and despite the fact that he's still 20 years of age, he's got the leadership and maturity qualities of a veteran footballer.
That being said, I don't think it'll be okay to compare his goalscoring prowess to that of Cristiano Ronaldo even when he's recorded the same number of goals like the Portuguese did in his first four games for Real Madrid. Bellingham isn't a striker nor a forward player before he joined Real Madrid just that Carlo Ancelotti decided to play him in the false 9 position and that has given him more freedom to play up front and helping to score as many goals as he's scored this season

According to Cadena cope, João Félix, the new palyer of Barcelona will only have 400,000 during the season which is really unbelievable because this palyer could get much better money in other other teams.
This shows us João Félix really wanted to just play for Beceolona because playing with this salary is not a payer can do at this level.



Joao Felix has got what he wanted by playing with Barcelona to win the La Liga trophy and coupled with a fairly large fee of course Joao Felix is now like a lucky player he can also have the advantage of increasing his popularity as a talented young player when managed to win the title this season.
Xavi has realized Joao Felix dream of wanting to join him but when he succeeds in becoming a great and competitive player for Barcelona maybe Atletico Madrid will also feel disappointed because they let him go to Barcelona.

Xavi and Barcelona fans hope that he can contribute as much and as well as possible for the team so that it is proportional to the amount of money he receives.
Joao Felix is a great attacking player with great skills that helps him drive past opposing defenders whenever he's with the ball and that's why I think he'll be a good signing for Barcelona this season.
Xavi Hernandez has shown he's a manager especially in  man-management and I think his he'll help the Portuguese to have a good spell at the club this season. If effectively used, Felix attacking skills and pace will b serve as a big threat to any club that'll face Barcelona this season.

Al-Nassr can’t rely on Ronaldo to win every match and other stars too need to step up and help the team win matches. Lastly what are you’ll thoughts will Salah make a move on the last day because if the new rumour is true then Liverpool can’t turn down such a huge amount and while it may derail their current season but it’ll help them improve their finances for the long run.

It is true and they know this. Bringing Ronaldo into the club was not to be dependent on him to win every game that would be too myopic of the club's  management. Rather what I think is that he is acting as a catalyst for the other teammates. To improve their performance to influence them to and we know that it is working. Ronaldo will not always be there, they want to birth more stars from the Arab world through him. As for Liverpool, Salah isn't going he has made his decision known.
Ronaldo is indeed a big star in the world of football. So it cannot be denied that when he is on the field, Ronaldo is a great player with truly stunning skills. Ronaldo is also someone who is an attraction for most people. But even so, to achieve perfect abilities, Ronaldo still needs adequate teammates and compensates for them. So that way, Al Nassr can't just rely on CR7 to be able to win every match. Because on a field, it contains 11 players who must work together with each other to create a good game and be able to win matches. So, if al Nassr only relied on one person, namely CR7, I think even though he is really great, this effort will not succeed. Moreover, until other players feel left out, I don't think there will be harmony within the team. Which results in the team's performance decreasing.

Then about M. wrong. I think his decision to stay at Liverpool was the right decision. Because M is wrong at Liverpool is still a starter and is always a great goalscorer. So basically M Salah is very comfortable at Liverpool. How could it not be, he has been at Liverpool since 2017. Plus he still has two seasons remaining on his contract with Liverpool.
Al Nassr is a big club that's always represented by eleven players whenever they're on the pitch so there's no way the club will rely on the brilliance of one player to win games. The club signed other European based players in the summer including Sadio Mane and Brozovic to help the Portuguese superstar and the entire team to win games.
That being said, we can't feign ignorance of how influential Ronaldo is and can be whenever he's on the pitch and that's because of the quality of a player he is . Instead of relying on Ronaldo to single-handedly win games, the manager should find a more suitable playing pattern they'll help the entire team give their best whenever they're facing any opposition.

I have even heard such speculation like Liverpool were willing to swap Darwin Nunez with Joao Felix before the end of the transfer window. I don't believe this honestly. Because there is no reason for Liverpool to be okay for such deal. What can their reasoning be for this? Joao Felix didn't show a better performance than Nunez in the recent times.

Besides Nunez is doing much better than last season for now. He has 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 EPL matches so far. They didn't sign any other striker even though they didn't have a reliable backup striker. Maybe Felix could have been signed on loan to have more alternatives.

However I guess Felix would have still chosen Barcelona instead as it was his dream team.  Smiley

The performance of Darwin Núñez has been pretty good so far. If I remember correctly, he did not start well in the last season. This season he is starting well and if he is able to be consistent in his performance, I think he will be able to score a lot of goals for Liverpool. Even though they were not able to win the first match, they have certainly done better in the next three matches. They have been able to win three matches back to back. So right now, they are in good form. If they continue like this, I am sure that they are not going to regret the decision that they were going to take about Darwin Núñez.
When Darwin Nunez was signed in the 2022 summer, he was expected to the main rival of Erling Haaland who was also signed in the same transfer window but unfortunately for the Uruguayan international, he didn't have a good season unlike his Manchester City counterpart and that's why many fans of the ckub were calling for his sale in the summer and to find a better replacement.
However, after coming from the bench to score two late goals that helped Liverpool best Newcastle, Nunez is now one of the hottest players of the club. But he has to continue scoring many more goals if he wants to remain as the first choice striker of the club

The Sevilla team also played in the Champions league last season.  But their performance in the Champions League was very poor. Even in La liga this team could not play well in the last season. Their only goal was the Europa league title. And finally the team was able to secure the Europa League title. Despite performing well in the Europa League, the team's performance in the La Liga and Champions league was poor. I think we will see the same thing this season. I wouldn't expect much from this team in Champions League or La Liga. Sevilla know very well that they will not have much advantage in the Champions League. Their goal will be the Europa League title this season as well.

Sevilla's level is still far from UCL. Even though this club was able playing in UCL but the result will always be the same. Being able to compete in UCL is already a huge achievement for sevilla. I don't even put a lot of hope for this club.
Sevilla needs more than a miracle to go to the play off stage with the current squad. Although I don't want to be pessimistic about Sevilla's performance, it's necessary to consider the possibility that they might be in a less-than-ideal situation presently and we should take that into account.

I would like to value qualifed for UCL play off is a higher achievement compared with winning europa league. It's caused by sevilla is in financial crisis and the club in the needs of money to solve that.
After defeating AS Roma in the final of last season's UEFA Europa League competition, I was thinking Sevilla were gonna build on that result and have a better campaign than they had last season but they've started the season worse than they did last season by not getting a point from their first three Spanish La Liga games of the season.
Sergio Ramos who started his professional football career with the club just returned to his boyhood club and will definitely want to help the team to win games and trophies but if the team doesn't improve generally, there's nothing one player can do for them. The UEFA Champions League football returns shortly after the FIFA international break so Sevilla must significantly improve if they want to have a good European Cup season.

Even Tuchel was criticized in the last part of last season for being eliminated from the Champions League early and nearly losing the Bundesliga title to Dortmund.

However this wasn't fair thinking of he joined the team quite late and he didn't have much time to make his system work smoothly. But now things are going really well for the team. Because Tuchel had lots of time to apply the plans in his mind for this team. With Kane's arrival they are a much more complete team now. I think they won't only be competitive in the Bundesliga. I expect a satisfying level of success in the Champions League as well.
Thomas Tuchel is one of the finest managers in modern day football but the truth is that he didn't have a good campaign in his first season as a Bayern Munich manager and if Borussia Dortmund had won their last home league game of the season, Bayern Munich wouldn't have won any major trophy last season.
Thomas Tuchel now has the time and human resources to silence his critics by having a great campaign with Bayern Munich this season and that's not by winning the German Bundesliga title because they've been winning it for over a decade now but by having an impressive season in the UEFA Champions League and if possible winning the competition

Galatasaray announced today that it has transferred 2 players. Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele.
Both players are very good players, they were necessary transfers for Galatasaray.
I hope they will adapt to the team as soon as possible.
Galatasaray headcoach, Okan Buruk making good settings for the team by adding players to the present squad. Unfortunately these two players are from the exact same club in EPL. Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele are benched players for Spurs who are no longer in good shape to play competitive games. Spurs releasing both players, moving to the Turkish side means rewriting a new chapter in their professional football career. Galatasaray signing prominent players this summer, seems like a good development for the team inother to strengthen their performance.

Actually the situation isn't very bad now. It is the truth that none of these players has been the first choices for Tottenham in the recent times. However Sanchez played in the half of the matches in the Premier League last season. When it comes to Ndombele he was loaned to Napoli the last time and he was a part of 40 matches last season.

If they work hard in training it might not take them a long time to get ready for the season. Galatasaray will hope these players to have match fitness before the Champions League group matches start.

If Sanchez and Ndombele both show impressive performances the defense line of the team can be more credible in the group matches.

I think these guys will be successful, they are really quality players and they will contribute a lot to Galatasaray.
If they had played so well, Spurs wouldn't have sold them anyway.
Anyway, we will watch and see them all soon.


The teams in Galatasaray's champions league group are very high quality teams. In terms of squad quality, Galatasaray needed reinforcements. On the last day, when the names should be reported to UEFA, Galatasaray strengthened its staff by making 2 transfers.

There has been a lot of negative news about these transfers. It was said that the transferred players were not ready to play and they were overweight. I don't believe it. I think the team that carried out the transfer paid attention to many things.
Undoubtedly, Galatasaray are in a group they have little chances of progressing to the knockout stages of this season's UEFA Champions League competition but I think they have all it takes to be the dark horses of group A that comprises of Bayern Munich and Manchester United and quality from to the round of 16.
Bayern Munich I know are gonna make it out of that group but with the performances of Galatasaray this season when compared to Manchester United, they can best the English club and join Bayern Munich as clubs that'll make it out of that group

It is clear that currently it is difficult to find a striker who has abilities as good as Mbappe, but football is not just a game for 1 player but 11 player, so when PSG is able to find a suitable and compact striker in their front line, i am sure that PSG will no longer be dependent on Mbappe.  Actually, Neymar is also a very good striker but his ethics are not good, Enrique is quite an experienced coach, he must be able to prove himself to make PSG much better than last season even though Messi and several other star players are no longer at PSG.

PSG's current position is in 2nd place in the Ligue 1 standings, they are below Monaco, which has a much cheaper player value than PSG.
The media has tried to play up a much bigger issue concerning PSG and Mbappe, as if without these players PSG can't do anything. Luis Enrique can prepare the best squad for PSG for the next few seasons and if management gives him time then I'm sure PSG will be even better in the future, especially when they play in the Champions League. Now what he needs to do is find the right replacement on the front lines if Mbappe plans to leave next season and they also have to get used to being without Mbappe if they want to achieve success in several competitions.

I agree that Mbappe has an important role in the PSG squad and he is one of the best players at the moment in terms of scoring goals and playing skills. But PSG can't hope for Mbappe forever because every player wants to play at a different club to achieve their individual career. Currently they are two points behind Monaco and Luis Enrique's job is to focus on winning the next match.
I think the matter of Kylian Mbappe's future isn't supposed to be the a case of discussion now that the transfer window is over. Kylian Mbappe is a Paris Saint Germaine player and will continue to be their player till the end of the summer. Luis Enrique has been given all the necessary backings he needs to succeed in his first season as a PSG manager.
Though Mbappe wants to leave the French capital to continue his footballing career, but it's been reported in the media that he's going to sign a one year contract extension with the club so he can be sold for reasonable amount of money when he'll be leaving next summer.

But human are complex creatures.

You mentioned opposite gender in a position of power. What if the person in power is a lesbian or gay?, does that affect what you're proposing?

What if they are in a relatively small position of power?, is that OK?, at what point the power is a concern?

Same with the gender dynamics, a small flirt here and there is OK?, at what point do you put the line. What about the other way around, if the person in power doesn't care at all about them and don't even want to talk to them, etc.

You can't make laws about these things really.

Homosexuals are around 1% to 2% of the total population, which means that any chance of sexual abuse from people of same gender will be 50x-100x lower than that from the opposite gender. Once again, I am not asking for a complete ban on coaching by people from the opposite gender. I am just asking for more surveillance and monitoring. Because this has become a regular occurrence nowadays. Either it is due to abuse becoming more frequent, or due to the fact that more and more athletes are coming forward to report the unfortunate incidents that they have to face. 
The matter of sexual abuse among female athletes has been talked about for a very long time but we are yet to come up with the best approach to stop it. Many believes that the best thing to do when it comes to the women's football is to make it an all women affair by passing a law that only gives room to women to participate in every section of the game including coaching and medical staffs, officials and even teams management which I think isn't good because it causes gender discrimination.
FIFA should come up with a more stern and extremely harshpunishment to anyone found guilty of any form of sexual abuse. That will serve as a deterrent to other people who wants to abuse women

Napole take first defeat with Lazio and stay to 6 points, and Inter and Milan are the only with full points (9), Inter seems in good shape, 3 wins.
Milan suffers but stay near Inter.

Napoli loss was something that would boost their morale to come back hard on any team after the international break and teams like Inter Milan would mess up because they don't seem to be trust worthy and it will be hard to see them (Inter Milan ) get another 9 points without them playing a draw.
The whole table seems to be in favor of the two brothers, Inter Milan and Ac Milan but watch out for Juventus this season, they're having that hunger to stay at the top of the table if not being the champions ones again.

The winner of the next match between Inter and Milan is going to decide who will be the leader of the Serie A league table. Both of them have definitely played well so far. There is really a chance that the next match between themselves is going to end in a draw.  But I certainly want to see a winner in this match. I believe that if the deadlock is broken in this patch, we will see a winner. And since both of them have the same home ground, I don’t think there will be any advantage for any team. Both of them have not lost any matches so far. But for some reason, I truly believe that in this match one of them is going to face their first defeat.
Inter Milan and AC Milan has been very impressive in their performances in this season's Italian Serie A campaign. Both has won all their three league games so far and all they all won in convincing fashions making it very hard for anyone to predict the outcome of the Milan derby that's coming up after the FIFA international break.
While AC Milan has conceded two goals in the three league games they've played so far, Inter Milan are yet to concede one and are the only Italian club that's yet to concede a goal this season. AC Milan with all their attacking talents will want to break that deadlock while Inter will want to have a perfect victory. I can't predict the final score but I know the teams are gonna surely find the back of the net

Chelsea never played well. Its defenders were always often making blunders while at the same time its attackers were unable to scoring the goal. That's why EA was rated whole of chelsea players so badly. Even mudryk never made even a single goal since he was coming to the club. I don't even know why this team looks like the stupidest club in EPL. Nottingham forest is far better than chelsea. I must admit if this thing was true.
Look at how chelsea defeated by nottingham forest at stamford bridge which was surprising anyone. Many fans were feeling satisfied with the current performance of chelsea. Pochettino's tactic just remind me with potter.

Many complaints were coming to the club. I feel that if nothing change happened to the club. Chelsea played even badly than last season.
The club could still get perfect results last season in winning some early matches in a row while this time it's only able winning a match against weaker team like luton.
Their players are still not in sync with each other which makes it a bit tricky for Chelsea. On the other hand, it is true that they currently have a bad condition in attack but looking at the current condition I think it is a natural thing where risks like this will happen if we change too much from starting players and coaches.
One loss, one draw and 2 defeats are not very good if you look at the current conditions but I think with the current conditions it is actually still fixable and Pochettino can take Chelsea in a better direction just waiting for whether he will fall down with all the criticism or actually rise to be better.
Honestly speaking, I'm yet to understand Chelsea's current issues that's making them to be underperforming despite all the huge spendings by the club's management to add more quality players to the squad. From the statistics, Chelsea has spent more than any European club in the last three transfer windows yet the results gotten from these players are very poor.
Mauricio Pochettino is a great and experienced manager who I think should deploy the best of his managerial abilities to that'll serve as a lasting solution to the club's current issues. Though they've lost two games in four matches this season, but if Chelsea can bounce back to winning ways, they can still have a great season

I didn't expect what happened to Manchester United in the extra time. Anyone who sees the result of the match will believe that Arsenal demolished Manchester United totally not knowing that the extra 2 goals came from 90 + 5. Manchester United lost the energy they started with during the ending of the match. I do not understand when you say fatigue because they had test time before another match. Infact, Champions league matches have not started and why are they facing fatigue. So what will happen when the Champions League matches start. Manchester United needs to sign good players to sustain the standard of the club.
Manchester United and Arsenal should have ended in a draw but in reality Manchester United's defense in the final minutes had begun to weaken so that Arsenal took good advantage of it and finally made Arsenal win with a score of 3-1, Mancehster United should not have been like this, they were seen underestimating Arsenal so in the last minute they conceded and greatly disappointed their fans and from that defeat Manchester United dropped out of the top ten positions.
Many people said that Manchester United defence was weak in the ending time but what I observed was that Manchester United players were all attacking minded immediately the score was 2:1 in favour of Arsenal. They just wanted to equalize immediately and Arsenal capitaled on their attacking mind and scores 1 more goal to make their total number of goals 3.
Arsenal is strong this season, just as strong as they were last season. And also this season, their squad depth has increased which is what makes them candidates for trophies this season.
