Strategically, Brentford actually has tactics that are almost the same as Man United, namely counter-attack and passive-reactive play. Arteta's biggest mistake when Arsenal lost at Man United was because he put his defensive line too high up to the middle, as a result, when the loose ball could be put to good use by the Man United winger who had high determination. If Arsenal at that time played with a medium defensive line, it might have been a different story, plus at that time there was no Partey in the midfield, Man United's 3 goals were all created through the counter process.
In this match it looks like Arteta learned from that, plus there is Partey who is already fit. It looks like Arsenal's midfield and defense are more disciplined with Arteta instructing Saliba to keep his DL ready to face the counter. It was proven when he managed to tackle Ivan Toney who was almost 1-on-1 with Ramsdale.

Did you see the game statistics of the two teams?  To be honest at this time barcelona really dominated the game and didn't even give Elche a chance to attack for the Barcelona defense, Barcelona meanwhile managed to fire 19 times and was able to shoot on target 8 times, while Elche was not even able to fire a just one shot throughout the current game, I think Barcelona will be able to feast on goals and lewandowski will probably be able to make Elche as a ladder to be able to get top scorer this season by bombarding Elche goal today. Undeniably, Barcelona completely dominated this match and did not let the Elche players attack and develop the game. It was an easy match for Barcelona, so 3 goals should be a small amount in my opinion. Lewandowski scored two more goals in this match, and now he has really proven his seriousness to become Laliga's top scorer. Today Lewandowski also deserved to be man of the match, it was a fine performance from the striker after a goalless game against Bayern Munich. But, of course I'm not worried in the slightest even though Barcelona lead the standings which were previously occupied by Real Madrid. We'll take it back soon. It is interesting to see Lewandowski's progress with Barcelona this season, at the age of 34 but temporarily being able to become LaLiga's top scorer with 8 goals in 6 appearances or 11 goals in 8 matches with Barca in all competitions. And I saw in the game against Elche Lewandowski had the chance to score his first hat-trick in LaLiga but in the end it didn't happen. In the next match Team Xavi will play in Mallorca after entering next week's break due to international competition. for me Lewandowski is a lethal striker. The Bundesliga, La Liga, it's all the same for Lewandowski. Both become an easy place to make a lot of goals. He has scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists in his first 8 games for Barcelona. I think he's the Golden Shoe Candidate this season. |

FT: Augsburg 1-0 Bayern Munich
Bayern's last 6 matches in UCL & Bundesliga:
Won 2x in UCL against Inter & Barcelona, failed to win 4x in a row in Bundesliga (3x draw, 1x loss)
Bayern have gone 4 consecutive Bundesliga matches without a win.
btw, Augsburg goalkeeper saved too many goals today. This win was deserved for Augsburg. This will be the season when bayern Munich will lose the Bundesliga crown, winning 10 seasons in a row is enough to let there be a new king of the Bundesliga.

It seems they give Allegri a deadline according to journalists here.
The date should be 13 November, aka the end of 1st part of the season before the world Cup.
It will be late, if they do not trust him they should sack him today.
I'm still wondering what's on the minds of the Juventus management who still maintains Allegri. Is it another financial crisis that can't bring in a new coach? we can see Juventus from the beginning of the season the game is monotonous, boring, no tactics are always on display in every match. |

Madrid derby is the center of attention now, how not every time they meet then we will be presented with their interesting game. The two could be said to be playing open when they met, and it was an interesting treat to watch. Despite the instability of Atletico Madrid at the moment, but they are a club that can make things difficult for Real Madrid. Moreover, the prestige between these two clubs will surely force them to play with ambition.
yes it is true, Derby has always been tough and would have been even tougher without benzema but vini jr and fede Valverde will pull us through as they have done since his absence. I think Real Madrid will get full points in this match. The reason is, the Atletico Madrid team has not shown too consistent performance since the start of the season. Facing the city rivals, Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last five matches. Atletico also won big in the fifth jornada when crushing Celta Vigo 4-1. I think it will be an interesting Derby. |

yes I think PSG will win easily against Lyon, we can see this from Lionel's performance back to how it used to be. I saw in several matches, both in the league and in the UCL, Messi was back as hot as when he was at Barcelona. PSG will be eyeing a positive trend at a time when lyon is currently in a less good trend.
In his second season with PSG, Messi has a better performance but now he is playing like a midfielder, a play maker. Maybe it is what PSG really needs from Messi. They already have Mbappe to score goals but the appearance of Messi help to increase their unpredictable and dangerous attacking. We see the connection of Messi, Neymar and Mbappe is very dangerous in this season. They must maintain the connection and avoid conflict of interest. If they can do this, I believe they will be able to win Champions League. Messi knows his career is counting down till ending. Just a few more seasons and he really wants to win another Champions League. Federer recently announced his retirement and Ronaldo in this season has a terrible decrease in performance. Messi should feel fearful when age impact becomes bigger. yes that's right, I think Messi is the best playmaker of the decade, Messi's vision is clear for the team. and also who made messi the real GOAT. Not creating Goals, he can create Assists, not creating Assists, he can create Key Pass. Can't create Key passes, he can make and set the rhythm of the match. So it's very rare that we see Messi with a bad rating when he doesn't score a goal. like Messi, naymar and mbeppe have started to look solid and compact. |

Spurs have to really step it up, after their set back at the Champions League. I expect them to bounce back strong against Leicester as Leicester are clearly struggling at the moment. Once the Champions of England, now relegation fodder. They still have a quality lineup that can fit into most squads in the top half of the league, yet they seem to be struggling. Is it managerial issue or just lack of motivation?
I think the problem that put Leicester City down drastically is that a lot of important pillars of them left the club Kasper Schmeichel Wesley Fofana And many more Rodgers hasn't done much in the summer transfer window this year And the game scheme can be read by the opponent not making any changes. I really hope Rodgers will fix his team soon. Come on, let's get up Leicester City, hopefully we can get out of the relegation zone |

Manchester united must win today against the sheriff, the defeat of sociedad should be an evaluation for Ten Hag to be able to rotate his players well and not underestimate other teams that are considered below their level, but it seems that Ten Hag job is quite difficult to get 3 points today this is because Rasfhord who is having an impressive performance can't play today, losing Rashford may be replaced by Ronaldo but considering Ronaldo performance is below the standard of course requires Ten Hag to look for other options later.
I don't think Manchester United's victory is guaranteed today - it's still unknown how this tournament is evaluated within the club. If the main bet is on the Premier League (which is to be expected since all the changes at Manchester United are aimed at at least getting into the top 4 of the Premier League), and the rest of the tournaments are evaluated as secondary, then neither the team nor Ten Hag will do everything possible to win today. Manchester United lineup is out and it’s a first team players that will face Sheriff. I know Erik Ten Hag will go with his strongest 11 because the Crystal palace game was postponed and there’s no EPL game this week, then next week is international break. Since they lost the first game, they’ll have to channel all that it o winning this very game, not just winning but winning with a big score line. Manchester United lineup: De Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo Casemiro at Real madrid is almost never without a game except for injury. At MU sitting on the bench. More and more believe that Casemiro is not coach ten Hag's top target. Even though Casemiro was brought in at an expensive price. |

You can consider athletico madrid as weak not as tough as Real Madrid but that doesn't mean it will be easy for Real Madrid to defeat athletico madrid. Athletico madrid is not a toy team, it is one of the team in laliga that Real Madrid can't just easily beat. It can even surprise you that athletico may play the game very tough what Real Madrid may realise at the end of the game will be a draw, Real Madrid still have a higher chance of winning the game.
Toy team  I have never read anyone call Athletico Madrid as a toy team. You are so creative with words. It's a derby and two Madrids don't want to lose in a derby. In a bigger picture, they are competing for La Liga title, together with Barcelona. Therefore this match has a lot of meanings for them, a derby and a direct clash for La Liga trophy. 3 points from this match are similar to 6 points because a winner has 3 points and a loser lose 3 points. In addition, winner will destroy the mentality of the loser as well. yes I also agree with you. As usual, Atletico's match against Real Madrid is always fierce, hot, and full of prestige. even though Atletico Madrid's condition is not good compared to Real Madrid, which is on a positive trend. But the Madrid Derby will always be tight and difficult to predict. Moreover, these two teams are candidates for La Liga champions other than Barcelona in La Liga. so to get 3 points it's very important to keep the chances of winning the league. |

Benfica and Napoli performed very well earlier this season... To be honest I thought Juventus could beat Benfica, but they failed to do so at home... Most likely the return game will also be a close game... I think PSG and Benfica will be able to go on from this group as the strongest clubs, but Juventus will have a chance to fight for the chance to make it out of the group!
Juventus appeared so very disappointing at the start of this season. Four defeats in a row clearly reap great criticism from the fans. Allegri was in the spotlight for the disgraceful result. Juventini's anger has been seen in various media, they want Allegri to leave. In this case the President of Juventus must immediately take a stand, because their hopes of continuing to advance in the Champions League are very small, if they continue to show such a game. Will Allegri be sacked? Or will they last until winter or for another season? And the result could be worse for Juventus. Benfica are not tired of creating chances, they are capable of scoring goals, once again the Portuguese team remains firmly established as the dark horse in the competition once again. In fact, Benfica could actually embarrass Juventus by scoring at least 3 or 4 more goals. |

It was a great surprised to Manchester united fans for Real Sociedad to defeated them 1-0 for the favour of Real Sociedad. Many people predicted for the favour of Manchester united to defeat Real Sociedad 4-1 but the match was not easy for Manchester united to win because their coach did not used their last match line up to play this match that made them to experienced defeat from the Real Sociedad. If Manchester united coach can still bench cristiano Ronaldo and other players in the first half to allow other players that know how to achieve opportunity on time to play, it will really help them to improve their points in their next match.
This just shows the priorities of the team, which means that Manchester United will focus on the Premier League in order to play in the Champions League next year. I still can’t get used to the fact that Ronaldo became a player in the second squad of Manchester United. ) And with such effectiveness, he is unlikely to be of interest to other teams. It remains to be seen whether ten Hag will give him the opportunity play in the starting lineup in the Premier League matches. I think Ronaldo's career is over here. He got a chance in Manchester United's second-tier squad. But Ronaldo could not play well in the Europe blog match. So Ten Hag will not give Ronaldo a chance to play in his main squad now. And if Ronaldo doesn't get a chance to play, his performance will deteriorate further. I think Ronaldo's relationship with Ten Hag is not good. And so he is not allowing a talented player like Ronaldo in his squad. He is destroying Ronaldo's career. Ronaldo should now try his best to perform well in the Europa League matches. Otherwise, he will not get a chance to play in the Premier League. did not expect C Ronaldo's performance to drop drastically from last season. This proves that he is actually not as comfortable as when he first showed his feet at Old Trafford. When it comes to age and performance, Ibra was at an age like Ronaldo was still on fire, and Messi at PSG has found his best game again. In my opinion, C Ronaldo's energy and remaining golden remains have not ended, and the Qatar World Cup will be the last proving ground for C Ronaldo, if indeed at the club he is finished. |

PSG's gameplay would have stabilized if Mbappe could have avoided his selfishness. Messi and Neymar's performances are quite consistent. They are playing well. But PSG is falling behind due to Mbappe's small mistakes. He doesn't want to pass the ball to anyone. But if you want to play well as a team, you must have a good relationship with all the players. PSG may not have any problem winning Ligue 1 matches. But PSG's gameplay needs to be more organized if they want to win against the strongest teams in the Champions League. At the same time, Mbappe will definitely need to improve his bonding with the rest of the team.
This is a very important problem for PSG because it has one player who has almost the same characteristics as Ronaldo, Mbappe must change his character to be better and be able to accept all colleagues at PSG for one goal to work as a team well, if Mbappe can't change his bad nature then his career will end like Ronaldo. Mbappe is Mbappe in all his selfishness !!! Luckily PSG can still win, so he can still laugh. I am worried that the interests of the team for the Ligue 1 and UCL champions will be hampered just because of Mbappe's selfishness. this might be a fatal mistake PSG gave mbappe privileges. |

It's quite surprising to see Barcelona lose to Bayern Munich 0-2 without a reply. They did play as guests, but Barcelona is in good form, so I think Barcelona can at least steal a point from Bayern Munich but I turned out to be wrong (well in football there are always surprises). In this match Barcelona had some good chances, it's just that they didn't have a good finishing touch, besides that Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played quite impressively and he several times thwarted Barcelona's good chances.
I thought Barcelona performed pretty well. It's a pity that their opportunity failed to be taken advantage of to make a goal. In addition, I see, if Lewandowski has at least more than two opportunities that have failed to be seized. It seems that the Bayern Munich defenders have memorized how to stop Lewandowski. Barca and Bayern Munich's statistics are quite evenly matched. They are no less crushing, Barcelona is actually pretty good. Xavi this time failed to break bayern Munich winning record. Next I think xavi should be able to win in the second match at Camp Nou. Bravo Bayern Munich! and well done for Barcelona, from yesterday's Barcelona match and previous Barcelona vs Bayern munchen matches, a lot of progress from them. in that match Barcelona were good, dominating the game, but the only thing lacking was finishing. Lewandowski was unlucky to break into his former club, and there were many more opportunities they failed to take advantage of. In the first half Barcelona dominated more than Bayern Munich, but in the second half Bayern Munich dominated immediately after the first goal from Bayern Munich. Hopefully FC Barcelona can learn from the mistakes of last night's match and be even better in the next big game. |

Even though the EPL has been postponed and has given space to improve from previous mistakes but Graham Potter as the new Chelsea coach will be presented in the Champions League match directly against Salzburg, for me it is not easy to face heavy pressure for Graham Potter but that's what we know that Chelsea still have a good squad value meaning that with the new care Potter can improve from the previous Tuchel.
Liverpool and Chelsea who suffered defeats in the UCL, while in the league they are still not consistent on an uncertain victory.
Graham potter will face a tough test when he plays his first match with chelsea in the UCL he must lead aubameyang and his friends to win against RB Salzburg. Chelsea owner hopes Graham Potter performance is better than Tuchel by being able to improve Chelsea pace in the domestic league and also the Champions League. With the match between Fulham and Chelsea postponed, Graham Potter has plenty of free time to introduce his strategy to the players in training sessions. The coaching transition from tuchel to potter will certainly take a bit of time, so I don't think the changes that occur to chelsea will happen in the near future and of course potter needs time to apply his training methods to the chelsea squad, the match against Salzburg will be a debut match for potter and me think in this case maybe we will not see an extraordinary game from chelsea because after all maybe chelsea players will still use the tuchel strategy before they really understand potter strategy. Of course this requires a process for Graham Potter it's not an easy task to get Chelsea back on a better path but I believe Potter's potential for Chelsea has a big chance, we'll see later in the champions league how Potter does it even though he lost again it's not a bad thing even Potter can seeing the potential of some of the players they know and know about then I think Chelsea will have a better strategy once Potter understands the previous strategy. Granted Graham Potter did an excellent job at first brighton I was skeptical but if they gave him the time, Graham Potter would have done very well. Graham Porter has the same composure and potential as Gaudiola, he improves players, he sells his players to his rivals and he goes and looks for someone else. He knows what he is looking for in a player before the player arrives. he will be successful at Chelsea |

I understand Erik ten Hag's choices for this match. They needed to rotate the squad to prevent any fatigue for the crucial players before the next Premier League match. But this was still a match that could have got one point at worst. Because their first half performance and the one after conceding the goal were impressive.
This is the risk when they playing with some of reserved players that the players looks cannot collaborated each other and it just happend yesterday to Manchester United that although they were dominated the match but Manchester United cannot created the opportunity to scoring goals and on the second half Ten Hag has realized this situation with played Bruno Fernandes and Sancho but seems it's too late because they cannot develop their game but maybe this match will be different if Sancho, Rashford and Fernandes playing since the beginning of match In my opinion, United need to maintain an already solid formation, which is to hone their sharpness and cohesiveness to be more consistent in every game (and not rotate everything or only give Maguire a portion of playing time). I think Ronaldo needs more time on the pitch he loses form. The more he plays the more he will score goals |

The defeat from Napoli indicates that Liverpool currently seems to be in a bad performance, the series of bad results obtained by Liverpool makes me quite doubtful if they can beat Ajax easily, the lack of creativity from Liverpool midfielders in the previous few matches makes Liverpool strikers like lost their sharpness, in the match against napoli it was seen that Salah and Firmino were not well supported by the midfielders so they didn't have enough chances to score goals, but I think there is a slight advantage for liverpool in the match against ajax later cause they play at anfield, because so far Liverpool players performance actually looks better and has high motivation when they play at Anfield.
Liverpool have flashes when they play well, but they are extremely unstable, and Ajax consistently crushes their rivals in every match. Liverpool, even being in good shape, beat Ajax 1:0, and now it will be even more difficult for them. 5.75 on Ajax seems like a lot, I initially thought that Ajax would not lose in this match. Ajax seems well prepared for the next match while liverpool still inconsistent with its performance. Liverpool may have good performance on EPL but champion league may be even harder than it caused by once liverpool can't win and then it will lose a chance to go the next match. Liverpool needs to prepare for the next match but again it seems like any champion match for liverpool will be so hard. It seems like that chelsea and liverpools are still struggling with their performance. No football this weekend! This might actually give Liverpool more time to get players back in. Liverpool have confirmed they are 'waiting for further guidance from UEFA over the clash against Ajax. But the club is planning and preparing for it at the moment. I think Liverpool will bounce back after losing against Napoli. |

however, Cadiz should not be considered weak, Cadiz always surprises the Barcelona and real madrid teams. In four meetings over the last two seasons, Barcelona have never won against Cadiz. Last season, Cadiz even humiliated Barcelona 0-1 at Camp Nou. I forgot that Cadiz is actually a team that makes Barcelona lose points quite often. H2H in the last 4 match of Cadiz and Barcelona has made Cadiz win 2 matches and draw 2, honestly it is a surprising fact.  But I will ignore this H2H for now because I think Barcelona have been very good this season. The depth of the team they currently have might crush any team, so Cadiz won't be able to hold out this time. Cadiz this season, absolutely terrible. Comfortably worst team in La Liga: 4 games, 0 goals scored, 10 goals conceded. BUT… they really are the team that makes Barcelona Frustrate and sure enough right now it's going on Cadiz vs Barcelona still 0-0 second half 53 minutes |

Brest really gave a strong resistance at home to PSG, the only goal that PSG got was thanks to Neymar contribution in the 30th minute. PSG, who were superior in this match, found it difficult to find additional goals until the match ended, the combination of PSG attacking trio filled with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe could not do much in this match due to the strong defense of Brest. This result is enough for PSG to maintain its position as the leader of the standings. Now PSG are more comfortable in the top position with a collection of 17 points, while Brest is still stuck in 17th with 5 points.
yes Brest looked amazing today, PSG beat Brest 1-0 which was marked by the success of Gianluigi Donnarumma saving a penalty shot, maybe if it was a goal the result would have ended in a draw. even though PSG appeared almost at full strength in this match. The three front lines of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Lionel Messi were revealed by coach Christophe Galtier from the first minute. The combination of Messi's brilliant and visionary passing and Neymar's possession and shooting was just incredible. |

Barcelona is clearly the favorite in this match because of the great performance of Lewandowski and his friends who managed to record three wins after a draw against Rayo Vallecano. You are of course right, this is reflected in the big odds for Cadiz's win. Look at this, x13 for is odds that seem to say Cadiz is really considered a team that will not stand a chance against Barcelona.  It was clear that Barcelona were favored in this match because so far Cadiz had not managed to get points in 4 matches in a row. A minimum of 3 to 4 goals may be scored by the Barcelona players, but that is just a prediction. however, Cadiz should not be considered weak, Cadiz always surprises the Barcelona and real madrid teams. In four meetings over the last two seasons, Barcelona have never won against Cadiz. Last season, Cadiz even humiliated Barcelona 0-1 at Camp Nou. |

It showed that Sadio mane was among the players that made Liverpool strong in last season because since he left Liverpool to another club, Liverpool performance dropped down that is causing fear to the mind of their coach not to receive sack letter from Liverpool president in this season. Since new players joined the Old players in Liverpool, it hard the Old players to understand the new players that is causing a lot of poor performance to Liverpool in this season. I think, Liverpool coach will definitely get it right soon because Liverpool president trust him that he will definitely help the team to recover all the losses soon to make their fans happy again.
Agree, indeed, when compared to Liverpool's growth statistics since Mane's departure, it is very clear. Consciously or not, because of the fact that Moh Salah doesn't really have a ball supply position like when Mane was there. The arrival of Darwin Nunez did not match the initial expectations which could provide a big boost. Maybe based on my eyes it's not accurate, but that's what I've noticed so far from Liverpool performance. Missing a few pieces of the puzzle. I think Liverpool's poor performance so far is not solely a factor in Mane's departure. But overall their performance is starting to look down. I see Liverpool's problem now is in the defense sector, in this position Virgil Van Dijk doesn't look as strong as last season, then Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold also seem to have lost their passion, even though if you look at their performances a few seasons ago, they were quite successful in helping the defense at the same time. build attacks through the flanks. There was a chemistry between Sadio Mane and Mo Salah which was seen in their performances and the games they played together. It is disappointing that the club ignored this fact and had to separate them. Sadio Mane was the back bone of the squad because he will always come through for the team in tough games and score the winning goal. I miss Sadio Mane a lot and I'm sure Klopp is having regrets now. My thinking with LFC is that Liverpool keep a lot of bad players and let too many good players go, Losing Origi, Mane, Gini, Minamino but keeping players like Naby, Ox, Gomez is a big mistake!. Sadio Mane's departure, Liverpool really felt the importance of maintaining the chemistry between the 3 front lines that were so solid. |
