The main reason for India's defeat is that they have lost form. It is foolish to think that players will be in form all year round. India's problem is that their top-order batsmen have all lost form together. They are very talented and experienced. Even if they are not in form, there is no way to get them out of the team right now. There are very few talented players in the world like Rohit Sharma, Rahul Kohli. If they return to form, India will become irresistible. Just wait, the Indian team will be able to get through the bad times very quickly.

Tired and lethargic? Really?
What is going on with this young girl?

I think she needs time. Remember she actually won the US Open before she even won a single regular WTA tour match (slams are ITF, not WTA), which is just crazy. She is completely new to the whole thing, and hasn't had the learning curve that other players have had. She's gone from nothing to suddenly being expected to win every match she plays. I can't imagine what the psychological impact of all this is. She probably needs at least a full season before we can start to get an idea of what she can achieve. At the moment there is a lot of raw talent, but also inexperience.

I think the higher expectation from the public put her under great pressure in these matches. As @Daniel91 said the addition of a psychologist could be a good decision. As depression or collapse from pressure won't be good for her this early in her career. She is a talented player no doubt. But factors like these also play a vital role in a player's career. I don't know if the coaching change was a wise decision or not. Hope she will bounce back.

Ole make Pogba is not progressing, I think so dan if he doesn't want to make decisions, then let him go. Pogba is rare to play which makes his performance going to decrease, thus affecting price also. I hear the news, Newcastle wants his service too, when happens, Newcastle will get him for free in the next summer. definitely, Pogba will continue for them especially if get paid more than MU and as the starter for all sessions.
Many players under Ole's tutelage did not develop to their full potential and Pogba became underperformed so that it was no longer like he used to play brilliantly, but does Ole always motivate his players so that he knows the role he plays in his position for Manchester United while Ole can only change which is not in accordance with the applied strategy while the player still needs which one he must master to find the right game.
But are you sure Pogba will accept an offer from Newcastle who will pay him more than Man United?
I still doubt whether he can stay or to another club besides Newcastle.

We can see from his stats he kind somewhat underperforming under Ole. You know, last season he had 3 goals and 3 assists in 26 games but in the 2018-19 season,  he had 13 goals and 9 assists in 35 games. Which means that gradually he is decaying under Ole. Ole is using him as a DM most of the time but he excels in CM or AM position. If he's not given enough attention by Ole, he might leave for Real possibly.

Barcelona shared the points with the strong Alaves. Barcelona is now playing like e weak team, teams like Alaves are very strong for them. The Alaves have lost 7 games this season. Although Barcelona's recent performance was weak, I thought they would win against Alaves. But they could not win. Their gameplay was also weak. With such a performance, they will not be able to be in the top 5 teams in the points table. There is no bonding between the players, no match strategy. In the whole second half, I did not see any good attack from the Barcelona players.
Barcelona started the season badly,
Barcelona performance is experiencing a drastic decline, they recorded only one win in the last six matches in all competitions. after the Ronald Koeman Era ended, Barcelona has now appointed Sergi Barjuan as interim coach. Barcelona appeared so dominant at the Camp Nou, But the final solution is a problem faced by the Blaugrana, in the last five games Barcelona is only able to collect five point. Very disappointing.
First debut for Sergi Barjuan as interim coach have play draw with Alaves, In this match Barcelona was very dominant with 80% ball possession compared to Alaves who were only able to control the ball 20%, the hallmark of Barcelona's game was still in possession of the ball but they made very few shots at the goal,

even in this match they were only able to make 5 shots on goal and I think the finish from Barcelona was very bad.

Barcelona dominates every match, they have more ball possession. But at the end of the match, they just lost points. We've seen this happen since Koeman took charge of the team. This is nothing new. What is the benefit of holding more balls? Unless they can attack more or score more goals? Although they possessed the ball, their gameplay was very weak. They made a lot of wrong passes, the attacks were also very weak.

Even if you put the Lyon team ahead in this match, I don't think the lens will be defeated. Maybe the match will be a draw or Lens will win. Lens has shown tremendous performance in some matches this season. In Marseille, they won 3-2. They also won against Monaco. For the lens though Lyon is a strong opponent. And the match is Lyon's home match. Yet my idea is that the result in this match will go in favor of the lens.
Lens isn't that much favorite in the match today. You can realize the difference by checking the betting odds. Currently the odds are 1.59× for Lyon win and 5.4× for Lens win. Lyon will play in their home condition and they will look for a victory to move forward in the leaderboard. The result may go against the odds but Lyon is favorite in today's game.

The favorite team will always win, it doesn't happen in football. So far I have enjoyed the match between Manchester United vs Crystal Palace. Undoubtedly Manchester City was the favorite team in this match. But Crystal Palace wins the match 2-0. I agree Lyon is today's favorite team. But lenses are not the weakest team. Lens has all the power to defeat the Lyon team. Let's see what will be the result.

Looking forward to watching the big match of PSG vs Lille. Lille is not playing well this season. They have won only 4 out of 11 matches. Last season's champion team Lille. But their performance is not like that of the champions. In the previous entire season, they had lost only 3 matches. But this season they have lost 4 out of 11 matches. PSG lost points against Marseille. Lille will also want to use Marseille's tactics and draw the match. However, PSG should get 3 points from this match. Lille's defense is weak, they are conceding a lot of goals this season.
How can you say that a draw is a loss of points? In fact, each team got 1 point from a draw, so in yesterday's match when PSG against Marseille they still got points and didn't lose points. Regarding today's match between PSG againts Lille, I personally think that PSG is still the best and has a big chance to win. Although there are some PSG players injured but it doesn't matter, because the PSG squad has the same good quality for both the main players and the substitutes.

A big and strong team like PSG, who wants to dominate the league, if they are not able to get 3 points against a relatively weak team, and get 1 point through a draw, wouldn't you say it is loses points? We cannot compare PSG with other general teams in Ligue 1. ligue 1 is not as competitive as other leagues. Most of the teams except 2/1 are weak. It would be insulting not to be able to win against a weaker team despite having such a strong squad.

However, Pakistan is batting for only 148 runs. It seemed like a small target. But Afghanistan's spin bowlers are very talented.And they picked up wicket at the crucial moment. Winning the match is very challenging for Pakistan. Pakistan lost 3 wickets for 97 runs. The crease still has the experienced Babar Azam. Pakistan need 51 runs from 35 balls to win. I think Pakistan will win the match if Babar Azam is not out.

Which team is having the upper hand for the Ashes series? I was thinking that it would be a cakewalk for England, but given the fact that some of their players are injured, they may not be able to field their best side. And at the same time, some of the Australian players, who were not in great form earlier (Warner, Cummins.etc) seems to have recovered by now. It is going to be an evenly contested series between two of the big 3 teams, and the Australian players are always at their best during the Ashes.

It doesn't matter if Australia plays good or bad in a certain match for the tournament they are always really serious about the ashes series. If you see the Australians play the ashes you will know that it means a lot to them. I personally love to see ashes because for me this is the biggest rivalry after probably India vs Pakistan. But if we talk about only test matches, ashes is by far the biggest rivalry ever. I have always supported Australia in ashes because they always seemed to have a flair about them and their play style. And probably another reason was Australia have always had some superstars like Glenn McGrath and Share Warne and Ponting etc. But this time I think  England is going to win the ashes series regardless of their injury problems. Because England seems to be a complete team to me right now.

I am not going to watch any of the T20 World Cup clashes after the whole Quinton de Kock "take the knee" rubbish. What the f#%ck have happened to "freedom of choice" and "freedom of religion"?  I am totally against all forms of racism, but I am definitely not going to take the knee.. just because everyone else are forcing the issue.

They force the "race" issues... but they allow countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan with several human rights and women rights violations to participate it these tournaments. (Capturing and torturing of Afghan people, indulging in terrorism etc...)  Roll Eyes
I was aware of the entire thing until I saw your post now and then did some research of what exactly happened. It is indeed shameful to force others to take the knee although I highly rate this movement but no one should be forced to do they don't want to.

I read at espn that De Kock has agreed to take the knee and even apologized. It's hard to understand what for he apologized. But looking from a different angle, I am not sure why he was so against taking a knee in first place because it's not like you are forced to do something that will cause any harm. Taking a knee to support a movement that is for the larger good shouldn't have been a problem for him to begin with.

Yes taking a knee is to support the movement that black lives matter. But in the case of India, Indian people are saying that there are a lot of problems going on right now in their own country and there has not been a single tweet about any of them and here we have the whole Indian team taking a knee to support a movement continents away. And the speculation about the Indian team being forced to do this is actually true, you and I was so surprised hearing this. And racism is something that ain't going to be solved if the people in power don't realize that it's a pretty big problem.

The specialist is ready to lead the "blue-garnet", but he needs transfers.

Todofichajes reports that Al-Sadda's coach Xavi Hernandez has made several demands on the Barcelona leadership. According to the source, the 41-year-old specialist wants the club to keep Usman Dembele in its ranks.

The Spaniard understands that if the Frenchman leaves the team, then it will be almost impossible to find the same talented player for this position. Dembele's current contract ends in June 2022 and so far the parties cannot agree on an extension.

Xavi also wants reinforcement in the line of defense. The specialist intends to get rid of a number of players and asks the Catalan bosses to buy Jules Kunde from Sevilla.

https://www.readfootball.com/havi-opredelilsya-s-glavnymi-transferami-barselony-244596.html

Those seem to be some good changes for Barcelona. And considering Barcelona's current state, some change of personnel is really necessary. And I also want Ousmane Dembele to stay in Barcelona because he seems to be a real talent and I have to say with the better situation he can perform a lot better but only if Barcelona didn't have these problems right now.

Laker's defense got crashed maybe because they become confident that they will win the game.
Agree. Overconfidence could make you lose your composure and we just witnessed it. You can still see it, the chemistry of the team is like a disco light it goes on and off.  Grin I admire how he wanted the winning shot/tie to be on him but I don't think it is his time yet. What's worst? Melo took all the blame. Ouch!
I just saw the Westbrook trend in Facebook and it seems like they are having fun about it. We still have to consider that he just made another triple double at his age and turnover will happen if you have that kind of stats.
It means he is working his ass to make something happen for the team even if it will cost a turnover. I don't mind turnovers for play makers.

Lakers' players are still not clicking with each other. I don't know what the problem is. The last match they won, that too with a very close gap and they lost this one against Oklahoma. WB played insanely well even at this age. Davis also had a good match but individual performance will hardly matter if there's no chemistry among them and this is exactly why they lost. In each game, a player from them is playing insanely good only to be defeated. They have already played quite a few games (if I consider the preseason as well) and still, they don't have the rhythm in their game, and this is very unfortunate. WB's triple-double was a good one, I just hope his teammates can somewhat support him in the next game.

Koeman's replacement is hard to find at the moment. Assuming money is not a problem for Barcelona, but where will they find an experienced coach now? The team is in such a bad situation now that it needs an experienced coach like Barcelona Guardiola or Klopp. Zidane is very experienced, but he is not interested in being the coach of Barcelona.
the choice of free coaches is quite wide and it should be a man with experience of working with big team. for example, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso or Paulo Fonseca. first of all there is a need to fix the team play because players doesn't understand each other.
I dont think finding a coach is barcelona big problems many big names are not coaching currently so they can find a replacement for coeman the problem is that they lack players you can count on when in a difficult situation like messi and as weve seen depay is not that kind of players he missed a penalty in yesterday game that was critical for barcelona comeback in the game, plus coutinho who is not doing much in all the games he played, even with a new coach he need to get through to these players and improve barcelona play style.

Finding a coach is not a problem for Barcelona, ​​but finding a coach who can adapt quickly to experienced coaches and team players, and who can improve Barcelona quickly is very difficult now. The condition of the team is very bad. Barcelona are now on the verge of death due to one wrong decision after another after Koeman joined the team. It is challenging to strengthen the team again from such a position. I think Barca management can give the responsibility of the team to one of their former players.

I think westham have fast becoming one of the favourite to win this year Europa League,Moyes has indeed build a very good team, their game at the weekend against spurs I saw how they were compact,very organised.but I thought they were lucky to get the whole 3 point but seeing their game yesterday against city, I believe the are a very good team,even with their 2nd eleven.

West Ham have been surprising us all since the start of this season with their outstanding performances. Before the 2019-20 season, West Ham could not be found in the top 10 of the Went table. Last season they were in the top six of the points table. As usual, they are playing very well this season. They are fourth in the Premier League with 17 points from nine matches
They have yet to lose a match in the Europa League. They played very well in every match. And they have become one of the favorite teams for the title now.
3737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: October 27, 2021, 11:51:17 AM
West Ham are really one of the teams which are in a great shape now. They have lost only two times for a very long time. And they won all of their EL group matches so far without even conceding a goal. I have never seen West Ham having such a great performance until this season. And they have a competitor ahead in this tournment which is in a really terrible shape, Genk. They lost their last 5 matches. So I think that West Ham can destroy them also but they still need to be very careful.
West Ham's performance in both the Premier League and Europa League has been very stable. Europa League have won all 3 of their matches and scored 7 goals, while they have conceded no goals. On the other hand, they are also in the fourth position of the points table in the Premier League. They are playing great. So my guess is that West Ham will not have to suffer too much to advance to the next round of the Europa League. They will easily be able to qualify for the next round.
Yes they are consistently performing very well since last couple of seasons and not conceding even a single goal in the Europa League speaks about their defense and scored 7 goals in 3 matches show they are attacking as well. Looking in very good form, this team and I hope it continues through out the season.
@Lordshiva I believe a lot of credit goes to Moyes for building West Ham into a stable team, plus he managed to cling on to Rice which is also helping him. Furthermore West Ham are the favourites to win and qualify for Europa League next round, and who knows they may even win the league if they continue performing so well.
Actually there are two teams in the Europa League that have not conceded a goal so far and he is Galatasaray but indeed, Galatasaray are not as perfect as West Ham so they are not the main focus at this moment. But I think, the achievements of both are still equally good considering their opponents in their respective groups who are also different as in the issue of level or caste. Even so, I personally will not be quick to say about West Ham who might be the title-winning candidate, because a perfect result in the group stage does not guarantee they will get a good result in the knockout phase.

The Galatasaray team may not have conceded a goal, but their attacking lineup is not as strong as that of West Ham. West Ham are strong enough as a team this season and their performance is stable. The most important thing is to have a stable performance. I agree with you that it is not possible to say so quickly whether West Ham can win the title, only 3 matches have been played. I can say for sure that they will be able to go to the next round. But it is difficult to say how their performance will be in the next round.

You shouldn't compare Leverkusen's points tally with Bayern Munich because it's clearly different, because no team in the Bundeliga can stop Bayern Munich's run because the Bundesliga itself belongs only to Bayern Munich. Instead of comparing the points collected so far, I'm personally more interested in seeing and predicting the team that will get the top four positions. Because it is one of the big opportunities for teams under Bayern Munich to get UCL tickets because the tournament itself is very prestigious and all players want it to play in UCL. With the competition as it is now I can only say, positions 2 to 4 are still likely to be very open because for the top position or first place, I believe Bayern Munich will be unstoppable.

I never compare the quality of the two, because it will be very different, but what I say is the ability of a coach to rotate is also an important thing in a team.
I think not only this season Bayern Munich is unstoppable even the last 10 seasons they have also done the same thing Grin, this season maybe apart from Bayern Munich, the competition in the top 4 will only belong to Dortmund, Freiburg and also Leverkusen.

I have to agree with you. Talking about Bayern would be a waste of time as they will win the league whatsoever. But apart from Bayern, the top 4 look a bit competitive this season. The point difference between the 2nd placed Dortmund and 5th placed Berlin is only 5. So I won't be surprised if we are able to see a huge competition for a place in the top 4. My prediction would be that Dortmund and Leverkusen will end the season in the top 4, but instead of Freiburg, I'd say that Leipzig will be in the top 4.

Basically, before Napoli against Inter it seemed that Napoli's position was very safe, even though at that time Napoli had to play in the Europa League but the opponent was only Legia which I think it's not a big problem for Napoli. Unlike Inter, at least Inter got a tougher opponent before against Napoli. Yes, Inter have to play against Milan first before against Napoli, the obstacle for Inter is definitely tougher here and with that factor too I'm sure Napoli will be able to take advantage of the situation well.
Napoli won't spend too much attention and player resource for Europa League because to win it, they need to fight and need luck too. In Serie A, they have a very good season so far and they don't want to lose this advantage. Especially Juventus are rebuilding their team with the first season of Max.

The biggest competitors of Napoli in Serie A are AC Milan and Inter Milan and they will try to focus to protect their chance to win Serie A with more pressure from Milans and perhaps Juventus.

Decentralize their player resource to Europa League will be harmful for Napoli. So I don't predict result of this match.

Actually, Napoli has a better chance at winning the league which for me seems like more important than the EUL. Also, they can somewhat qualify for the next round by playing some average players. The coach will play an important role over here. Squad rotation is very important as he would surely not want his main players fatigued before a crucial match in the league.  Also, their next EUL match is against Legia so maybe the coach can rotate some players here and there.
