Well the fierceness of the EPL keeps going high and high and holds no bound yet, rather every match day proves to be very competitive in all of it’s sought. Yesterday we saw 2 different matches yes they both have some top weight as you can see that the teams who played are all major contenders at one point or the other.

 ⁠We saw Man City and Arsenal having some crazy wins and getting maximum 3 points in their matches to still remain very relevant in their title chase. The points were really massive for these clubs as it helps to still keep them up in the challenge. For Foden this match also brought him to 3 PL hat tricks which is as many as Lampard, Rooney and Ronaldo had in their EPL careers.
 
 The Lad is just 23 and attaining this height and feat is just incredible and as such he must be commended. He helped his club to nail Aston Villa who lost out in this match and as such open the hopes for Man United to get into the top 4 spot. Arsenal on the other end were able to do their job perfectly by nailing it hard on Luton even though we expected more goals from Arsenal but a 3 point is a 3 point and that was a massive win.

 ⁠Liverpool are the favorites as they prepare to entertain Sheffield later this evening as getting 3 points in that fixture will be able to bring them back to the top and make them 2 points clear. For Man United and Chelsea, yes I’ll go with double chancing on Chelsea because of how excellent their performance against the big 6 have been this season. This evening’s action is one that doesn’t needs to be missed at all and I’m sure looking forward to it.

 Ajax have not really been at their best performances but they've definitely been winning games and have been consistent to it. Definitely a coach has his own impact in a team, once the head is faulty, there'll always be loopholes. It means a lot for a team to get victorious consecutively in a row and for Ajax, that's caused a gradual improvement regardless not doubting that they still have to put in more work.

 They've got players no doubt but the squad needs to be better, Ajax is a team better than a narrow win, at the moment though, finding the right player who's top and ready in all areas to give that competitive capacity in both the domestic league and the European leagues will be hard. Their inconsistency is unhealthy and they just have to find a way to stop the losses from occuring through a narrow means. There's still a bit of time for their errors to be reshaped and corrected too.

 The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too. For Alkmaar, they're still lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too. They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace.

 Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too. The second half of the season have taken different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too.

Atalanta have been an improving side overtime. They've had some rough edges but their performance in the league is still seen. Even though they may not be top trophy contenders, they're trying to stay in the domestic league instead of relegating. They'll be playing against Liverpool in the next phase of the UEL and goodnews is they've been able to gather enough confidence and momentum for the game which still puts them in and advantageous spot of finishing with a tangible result regardless.

 Of both teams, there's struggle atmosphere present and even though Liverpool won't take mercy with them, the both teams will strive to see that they either win or get a draw at the end of the first leg. One would have to wait patiently for the game's final result. There'll definitely be an advancement of either teams after the second leg of the contest. The EPL is competitive too and so focus should be put in it but the UEL trophy to me would actually have more worth than the EPL.

 The UEL journey may not necessarily be stressful for them as Liverpool tends to be better than the teams in the tournament, their tough counterpart will definitely be Leverkusen because they've had more or less same domestic league results as Liverpool and the team is everly eager to strive to win games and they're aiming for the trophy. It's good that the both of them are in the same condition and then also have the same goal and target in the domestic and continental tournaments too.

 I believe that Liverpool has everything it takes to be champions in this season's UEL, their only challenge may be Leverkusen though but they're definitely up for a competitive game. They've got the players and skills with both teams having the same goal and vision ahead of the competitions too. They're the two strongest and toughest team in the contest and I won't be surprised if they conquer all their opponents till the final stage.

So far this season, Real Madrid have been very much active and set towards the La Liga trophy goal. They've in many weeks played games and ensured good results that's gotten and kept them in the top spot of the league table. Even though a couple of times, their performances have been reducing in range, they've still being able to manage a win before the end of the game. Well, they still have the champions confidence and determination in them too, adding that their manager is very much experimental in his approach to their games. They're a good team and they sure do know how to fix up their errors. Well it's very much essential that they correct errors faster and avoid incidents that are drastic and costly to occur as the times left won't entertain mistakes because it'll only be irreparable.

 Their encounter against Sevilla well ended in a victory for them but they ought to have done better. Their performances in time past was enough evidence to show how capable they are for the game against Sevilla. Well, I don't know exactly who to blame though but I feel they're starting to take chances too. I think it only got scary and dangerous two games ago when they took on Vallecano and were left to a draw. Now one would think how such proactive team playing the host would succumb to a visiting team who are less performing than they are. Well that's the unpredictable nature of football.

 Sevilla themselves have all time being tough contenders in the league, giving big teams tough times too and it's understandable that they were able to ensure and cover up all the chances Madrid tried to make in the game. Well Madrid are a better team and they've got to show it on the pitch. We'll see how the next games would hold up for them.

When one succeeds he gets the praises because he’s doing what he’s hired for and when he fails he gets the criticisms because he’s not making the fans and board happy. A club performing poorly could lose quite a lot in terms of investments and partnerships. This season Juventus were under fire at a point this season and that caused a lot of criticisms, the team and one big characteristics of a good manager is changing the face of the team when it’s in her dying stage and that was what Allegri did and many started seeing them as one team that could pose a threat to Inter Milan.

 Well the party is over already and now Juventus have had some poor results which wasn’t expected though but they’re a football team and football is a game. I think the fans should take it easy as they don’t expect to have great results match in and out as this same Allegri have also won for them the Scudetto and they should know that the league is quite competitive and other teams also want to shine. Spaletti is said to be one of the huge favorites to replace Allegri and I think that’s not a great option right now though except he’s mentally ready.

 Spaletti together with Osimhen was responsible for handing Napoli to her major trophy in over 30 years of waiting. Yes he can do same with Juventus but the club also must be ready to spend on the purchase of players. Allegri time at the club is up and I think what he can try to do is to help the club finish 2nd and I think he would get the applauds but will still leave. Juventus should be wary of rushing to get a replacement else they might be forced to search for Allegri again when the need arises.

This season, there's been a switch in the dominance that occurs in the German league, the professor Xabi is one key threat to Munich who's in time past being the head and leaders of the league. Even though last season, there's been a trail behind from Dortmund, comparing all the years, only Leverkusen have been overtime been able to maintain the difference in standings on the contention battle. Tuchel knows that a serious tussle laid ahead and as the season keeps drawing to an end, there's been hope for a greater chance to create growth opportunities too.

 I'd have loved to see how the end of the season will look like for the German clubs as it's highly expected that unlike Dortmund, Leverkusen would make the big difference since so far, Munich has failed in making good names for themselves. Munich last weekend were not able to restore back their pride and confidence even though their chances for the Bundesliga trophy was off, they just tried to keep up their face and yes they were beaten by Dortmund at the Allianz Arena with a 2 goal margin. A very big loss to Munich as that game result further pushed them below the table thereby increasing the odds to loosing the trophy. Well it will be much of a heavy task on them, they'll only have to absorb the lesson and experiences learn and garnered whilst working towards bouncing back up into the trophy race of the German league again. It ought to be an easy win for Munich but sadly and unfortunately, they did mess up with the game.

 The Bundesliga trophy tussle as of now is majorly between Leverkusen and Munich and beyond every doubt, it all seems like it'll rest in Leverkusen's cubicle. They've being consistent this season, and all games played in all competitions, they've incurred just 5 draws. This is one record that Munich has failed to achieve this season as there's been couple of game week loopholes and losses and this has cost them their attaining the toppest spot on the league table. The remaining games in the league are very much rosy for Leverkusen considering the first leg performances and results and also judging based on their approach to games.

 De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.
 
 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. When they played away to Monza weeks ago, the game outcomes actually went in their favor. They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match today. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen.

 The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well added to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Brighton too. The games so far has been ending in Roma's favour as weekly they've tried to ensure a clear 3points victory or a draw with a wide goal margin too. This only assures then of a bigger possibility of the UEL clash which seems to be a tough game for Roma.
 
 They did a good job putting Brighton in that tight corner even though majority of us thought Brighton would stand up to the fight and try to reduce the goal gaps regardless. Roma have been able to gather enough confidence ahead of their domestic league games. Even though the top 2 spot isn't assured to them, they've been able to fight to maintain relevance and as well ensure that they secure an European ticket next season, just their consistency matters at this point. The advancement journey won't be easy, the forthcoming league games too won't be easy. But I believe De Rossi is set to give his best for the team judging from the result of their last two games.

Manchester City has dominated the Epl and as such made the Etihad one fierce ground for the visiting clubs when they come around there. Yes the Etihad is one stadium that Manchester City has held dominance for over a year and past and still don’t look like they’ll be getting tired of the dominance more especially in the EPL anytime soon.

 In the match against Arsenal, a lot of us thought Manchester City as usual will be thrashing And cruising with a victory of over 3-4 goals and go past Arsenal on the log. Well Arteta made a statement with the performance of his boys to show that he’s got the antidote as against Pep Guaridola's superior dominance as he was able to get the draw at the Etihad.

 ⁠Yes the draw was a set back for the two teams as ot saw Liverpool who were able to overcome Brighton go clear on top the log with over 2-3 points as against both Arsenal and Manchester City. Well these 3 teams will still remain in contention for the league and maybe in next 2-3 gameweek, we might have one team drop form the race.

 ⁠The result at Etihad was superb as both teams real performed well though we can say the midfield and attack of Manchester City performed below average as we’ve also got the attack of Arsenal not coming to their best performance. Well in all we had a blissful encounter and we’ll love to see what the remaining gameweek holds for us as we know the EPL is one exciting league.

The match between West Ham and Tottenham is one match that was majorly for an European qualification spot and we all expected to see a winner from that match. Well the result happened to end in a 1-1 daw and that’s quite disappointing for both teams as it reduces their chances of advancing forward. Though they both gained one point apiece from this fixture.

 West Ham after falling to Newcastle over the weekend were seen to be big needers of this win against Tottenham and many expected them to get all 3 points. Tottenham got the lead but they were able to level it just before halftim and cAme into the 2nd half and were only able to secure just a point from this fixture. This one point gain and 2 points loss keeps the fAr away from Tottenham and also keeps the hopes for the teams beneath them to be able to come and surpass them. For Tottenham this draw is a big blow as it now gives Man United the confidence of being able to catch up with them.

 ⁠All the teams can still compete for the least European spot but I think Manchester United might not be able to make it to the top 5 since I think we’ll be having 5 English clubs in next season’s ucl. Well Manchester United and looking at her remaining 9 fixtures, you’ll have this sort of doubt on their ability to make it to the UCL spot. Well the EPL is full o competition and we’ll love to see how this one ends between these teams.

We’re approaching the Quarter finals of the UCL And this stage is where we’ve got the big boys which makes it kind of hard for us to be able to predict this is because the clubs in this stage are playoffs similar football. Yes and we know the surprises that comes up when we get to this stage of the UCL as we can see some big surprise team going through.

 ⁠Yes home advantage is one big plus in this round of the competition and as such I have high hopes on Real Madrid and Arsenal being able to win their home matches. For the return legs, yes Bayern Munich could defeat Arsenal and then the aggregate scores will be used to know who goes through. For Manchester City, I don’t see them being able to defeat Madrid at the Etihad this season again.

 Yes because Real Madrid are a better team as compared to them last season. They’ll be able to give Manchester City some worried especially their reinforced midfield and swift attackers as against a Manchester City defense that’s now being affected with injuries. This part of this competition promises to be interesting especially with these categories of teams competing as they’re all top teams in their respective leagues. Well we can’t wait for the entertainment to begin as this will get most football fans glued to their screen and phones so as not to miss out on any of thr action.

 Well a coach is considered to be great when he’s able to instill discipline in the squad and instilling discipline means the squad behaving well and also them being able to play according to your tactics. Yes when they play outside your tactics, that means the players aren’t disciplined and don’t trust what you give to them and that could become a big worry.

 Mbappe is one young player that has achieved some great feats both nationally and club wise and for psg, Kylian is one big treasure and key player. Now they’re about to lose him, many are feeling the club won’t be able to still do well without him in the club and I think the coach is trying to fight this notion quite fast.

 ⁠Yes, I love his approach on taking Mbappe aside in some matches as this will help the remaining players learn to play without him before he eventually leaves. I also think the coach should be wary of how he goes about this changes as right now they’re in a crucial stage ij the UCL and putting Kylian out now might be a big one for the club.

 Well Enrique is sound tactically and as such, I trust his decision on the changes he wants to effect in the squad. In as much as he’s effecting changes, I feel he should also try to get a perfect replacement for Kylian as that void will need to be filled up immediately so that the team can still be very top and clear of their league while they prepare to at least win one European championship.

Al-Nassr knows that their hope of winning the league has been bashed so what they owe the fans is real entertaining football and Ronaldo hasn’t fallen short of achieving that. Yes in a week he’s had 2 hat tricks and that’s has increased his goal tally incredibly. A lot of football lovers especially his rival lovers brought him under the knife for failing to perform for his country during the International break and here again is he always knowing best how to silence his haters. He’s always delivering stellar performances that’s worthy of all commendation.
 
 ⁠He’s improved his career goal tally and also his season tally as I don’t think there’s any way Mitrovic will be able to get to him. Now he’s on his way to 900 career goals and yes sure, he can make that very possible. as for Al-Nassr, I think the team just needs to get the balance in the squad especially the defense and then we’ll see how great they can perform.

 They’ve got the powers in the attack but their defense and midfield seem to be the major worry and they can now improve on that and be considered to be real title challengers next season. Well I dont think Ronaldo will be stopping his play soon as man still looks very able to deliver and I sincerely would love to see him attain more feats.

Real Madrid has even been performing at their best without a stable striker in the team, then we think of how much more they'd perform if they eventually get a striker for themselves. Left for me, they're doing just fine without a striker. They've in the team a lot of youngsters that are doing excellent in their general balling ability.

 But still they just have to have for themselves a striker that'd be majored on that role of goal scoring and they won't have to be using a false forward in their games. Well before now, Mbappe was a prospect but Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of forward they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.

 Bellingham is a player who's got versatility in his palms, he's majored as a midfielder and does exceedingly well both at maintaining the mid pitch and heading upfront but that doesn't guarantee the fact that it's best to switch his usual position and experiment on giving him a new role. Since even as a midfielder, he finds comfort and ability to be versatile and it works well for him then it's best for a coach to maintain him on that grounds and keep basking in the good he's doing at that position.

 For a player's major position to be switched, it'll only cause a decline in performance because the whole role would seem new and the player who's got no idea on the role he'd be playing, will just be lost and will slack which may in turn get the team affected. Every man is important in a team and so is every role dey play so each one should be left to do his duties and ensure that its done well instead of taking every game for an experiment. It'll only diminish the squad gradually.

Modric is one experienced player in Real Madrid and he has in himself enough dedication to help the team's growth and advancement. He's the oldest payer in the team currently and he's spent so many years with different minds working together and he's made a huge impact to the team being a part of most of their successes.

 His contract will expire by the end of the season and he's got just two options, to remain with the team or to move out of European football. No doubt both options are good but a better option for me would him moving out of Europe to the Saudi league. There he'd be able to accumulate his finances too and even impact the league in his own way. Saudi will so be eager to welcome him and for Real Madrid, of course they'd miss him but it'll give them room to nurture younger players.

 Modric is definitely a good asset to every team as he delivers well in his position without fault. Real Madrid's midfield is very much solid, they've got good hands in charge, the likes of Luka, Bellingham, Kroos and others. Luka and Kroos have been older in the team and they've mastered all the tactics and techniques of Ancelloti. They're more or less the leaders and they're coordinating other bodies well. They're literally a good example too.

 They've been able to be the support the young players need to push and forge further. For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still has lots of exploits to do with these boys and the coach is the right man for the job in grooming them into better men for the future Madrid.

The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves.

 De Rossi has been given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies, European trophy will be a bit difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament.

 Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza weeks ago and the game outcome actually went in their favor.

 In the game, they were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Milan.

Currently, Leverkusen's consistency has put them in the top contending spots for the Bundesliga title. And it's so certain with just few games games to determine the victor, there's every certainty that there will be change of hands this season. Definitely they've held and will hold onto the pressure for a while and for Leverkusen, they are not resilient in pursuing that major aim. Alonso and his squad aren't giving up and weekly they put up a whole different energy towards that trophy race.

 Comparing Xabi's abiliy based on his performances with his team, it'll be fair to admit his superiority in skillset. Leverkusen when Xabi took over had to start from scratch to build up to where they are now. So far Xabi, he has been a good boss and his methods have worked perfectly for Leverkusen. One would wonder how he managed to put up such feat for the team considering the spot he picked them from. It's one quality that can definitely be found in a good manager.

 Leverkusen have been impressive in all rounds and it's not surprising that they're now better than some already grounded teams. It only means that Xabi has a unique managing quality which can be of essence in bigger teams too. I believe he's still got good plans for the German team, which will still be manifested good. In the Europa League, there's been top contending teams from the start till the current stage of the contest.

 Even though days back, the playoffs stage was concluded and there we saw few teams earn advancement tickets. Well from the beginning of the tournament, we know that it'll only be the tough teams that'd survive. Also predicting the winner this season would be hard as there are a number of tough teams to pick from. The highest we can do is to just analyze these teams based on their overtime performances this season and bringing that in the picture, the highest probable winner would be Leverkusen, then Liverpool and any other team behind. In essence it's safe to say that if the draws are favourable, then Liverpool would battle with Leverkusen in the final game of the tournament.

Well Xabi who’s improved this Leverkusen squad and has increased their tally for going unbeaten this season to 39 games run and they’re now considered the winners of the Bundesliga already and a very strong contender for the UEL. The way he’s shaped this Leverkusen side to success has made him put his name on the limelight for some jobs.

 ⁠The likes of Bayern Munich and Liverpool who are in need of a coach for next season came with an offer and we all expected Xabi to want to leave Bayern to a better team. Well Xabi had his plans and he just let that out through accepting to be at Leverkusen for some more years and now you begin to wonder.

 Well I don’t think his decision was a bad one as this Leverkusen side aren’t looking like a team that will struggle next season rather I still believe they have every possibility of winning the league again next season except Bayern gets a very experienced coach and a key addition to their already failing squad. Also Leverkusen are in the UCL and Xabi taking this team to the UCL and doing well will be a very big boost to his CV and I feel he’s also wanting to get the UCL experience with Leverkusen before going for bigger jobs.

 As such, I don’t see anything wrong in him getting committed to the club for another year, so I feel other clubs should try to let him be and try again next season or next 2 seasons because man is really concentrated and composed on achieving a lot with this Leverkusen side and we just can’t help than wish him luck in his path.

Yes you can call the match boring because neither of them were able to find the back of the net to be able to make a statement and then you begin to wonder if any of them is fit to win the league. Yes we know we expected a draw but not a draw like this, this kind of draw is so poor of a result and it was below expectation.

 ⁠This match result goes on to show how fierce Liverpool were to press Man City and be able to make them suffer in their match as compared to how Arsenal were being bullied at the Etihad. Well Arsenal had the better of the fixture even though they werw played but they were able to get a point at this ground and we know how much important this point is to Arsenal as it keeps them very much in the title race.

 ⁠Yes we’re 9 games away amd Liverpool are now back to the top of the table and they’ve got less big matches except probably the match against United this weekend and I think that match is one that Liverpool needs to win in order to make a statement or to be putting one hands on the league. Yes we know how fierce that match is for Liverpool especially as they haven’t been able to defeat Man United this season and now this is a big step to them winning the league for Klopp who’s about to leave the club at the end of the season and they’re playing so hard to be able to win the league for Klopp this season.
 
Arsenal really made a statement at the Etihad and now you can start seeing them as one very serious challengers and I guess this goes to Pep and Cith as they don’t have to entertain any draw if they really want to surpass Arsenal and Liverpool. The EPL keeps getting interesting in these last days and we’re loving the show already.

The EPL is now getting fierce with about 9 matches to go and now we can start playing out the possibilities of who’ll be winning the league at the end of the season. Yes we can know and predict the winner now and we can see who have a better chance of winning as compared to the others.

 Liverpool are mow 2 points clear at the top of table and that’s a big plus to them as they were able to get the win over the weekend against Brighton. Now they have some more matches to go and about 3 are with UCL spot contenders but one big thinng is that they’re all at Anfield and as such you can say Liverpool have the upper hands already.

 Arsenal on the other end with the draw statement made at the Etihad you can’t in anyway wrote them off from winning the league but the major issue is that most of their big matches are at the home ground of the other club and you can then begin to wonder the possibilities of getting 3 points. Yes 3 points is what’s very important at this point rather than having draws as draws might not be able to do anything or help at this point.

 ⁠For City you can now start wondering if they’ll be able to win with the whole injury crisis in the team springing up now and the way they cluelessly played against Arsenal them you’ll know their level of play has dropped. For me Liverpool are better team to win this league but if they fall back then I think Arsenal will sure win the league because City aren’t looking like they’re seriously wanting to win the league.

 PSG who are known to be consistent champions of the Ligue 1 are about to lose their star player one who has single-handedly carried this club to various rounds of success since he’s been at the club for over 4 years now. Now you begin to winder how the club will be able to cope with his absence because sincerely it’s not always easy when you lose your rival at a point and it seems you weren’t ready for it.

 Well PSG are Ligue 1 champions and with the way there’s no much of a competition in the ligue 1 you might begin to come up with the notion of PSG still remaining champions without Kylian next season. Well it might be very possible especially as the other teams in that league aren’t real serious on contesting PSG for the league title.

 ⁠Though it’ll sincerely not be easy for them to compete without Kylian as you can see in the few matches he’s started from the Bench how they perform poorly till Kylian gets in the field. That should be an eye opener for the owners to be ready to spill out cash on who could be a very good replacement for Kylian else they might have some challenges winning the league again.

 The club is rich and as such I don’t think they’ll be having issues spilling the cash, I think their major challenge will be on getting the right player to sign for the team. I believe Enrique and the Sporting Directors will be able to make the right choice for the team and we get to see PSG still remains on top.
