I think even though Chelsea is not in good form this season, even I saw H2H where all their last 5 matches ended in a draw. So I think even though Chelsea are in bad form, they are quite superior to Liverpool.
I doubt it honestly because there is no way Liverpool performance can be compare with Chelsea when it has become obvious that Chelsea is very inconsistent on this season while Liverpool has been able to have been leading the premier League, so if perhaps Chelsea was better than Liverpool on this premier League they would have been leading the table instead of Liverpool.
I think that any prediction will be useless to measuring how strong chelsea is. Im concerning about the situation of chelsea, the club is always up and down. It was making it very difficult to compare chelsea to the liverpool. Look at the first leg against middlesbourgh. Chelsea played like a shitty club but the second leg was far different compared to the first leg. It means that chelsea can also perform as good as liverpool. We are still one month away from the final of carabao cup. There will be so many things to happen.

Liverpool can also go down to the bottom again. Im expecting salah to play in the final of carabao cup. Chelsea needs to put salah and diaz as the main attention. The club needs to use good RB and LB to prevent liverpool deadliest winger.
Chelsea has enough time to make preparation against liverpool. It will be so good if chelsea will win the carabao cup. Assuming that Chelsea performs with the correct strategy and line up, everything should go according to plan.

The blues have chance to beat liverpool even when its opponent will be on the peak performance. I will be waiting for what plan wll be using by pochettino in the final of carabao cup.

The season is still quite young to be honest. There are so many more games to go and for now it looks great, but I don't think that Manchester City will show some weakness at some point. I rather expect Manchester City to win their game, close the gap and then keep pushing Liverpool. There is no scope for any mistakes for Liverpool. In March there will be the game Liverpool vs. Manchester City, but the good news for Liverpool is that the game takes place in Anfield. I think this could be an important advantage for them and depending on how both teams will perform until then, maybe this is a first final of the season already.
Quite young? What do you mean?
Sure, the season is still far from the end but it is not in the early season anymore. We are already in matchday 22 from 38 total matchdays. We are in second half of the season, mate.

Man City has no reason to show its weakness. We know that the injury players have recovered, Man City begins to play with their best form anymore. We can see that Man City is getting closer to Liverpool in EPL standings. If Liverpool does a mistake, Man City may return to the top of EPL standings. So, the competition for the title is more interesting now.



It's still early days. Go ask Pep Guardiola or Klopp whether they think that this is the final phase of the season. Of course it isn't, everything is still possible. There are almost 50 points to still play for. Why would any of the teams consider this late in the season?
Since certain clubs have been consistently performing well, it will prove to be quite challenging for them to outdo one another, thereby prolonging the season and pushing it into the late stages even earlier than anticipated. I think that people have the right reason to call it as a late game.
Liverpool was very consistent and it may take very long time to surpass it only if liverpool will be missing points. Im not thinking there will be same story as last season when manchester city took 7 weeks to surpass arsenal and i think the result from current season probably different.

I am curious whether Manchester City will still be able to improve and come up with some wild winning streak. At least they push each other at the top, but now that De Buryne is back in the game I think that Manchester City will keep pressuring Liverpool until they finally make a mistake.

De bruyne is back along with doku, city has been also expecting haaland and stones to join in the squad next month. Im not even doubting if city will be improving a lot last season since the best duet last season will be back again.
You can also expect how crazy haaland once he will play together with de bruyne. There will be a lot of room to growth for manchester city and we are only awaiting goal machine to recover from his injury.
As pep said on the latest interview, if haaland probably comeback again next month based on the result of the latest test from his doctor.

What do you think about Ceferin's statement "We know we were right"?

Quote
Aleksander Ceferin insists UEFA ‘knew we were right’ over allege Financial Fair Play breaches by Manchester City.

City were banned from the Champions League for two seasons and fined £25m in January 2020 after they were found to have seriously misled UEFA and broken Financial Fair Play rules.

However, the Court of Arbitration overturned the ban seven months later and reduced the fine to £10m.

But City have faced similar charges on domestic grounds, with the Premier League finding 115 breaches in February 2023 that spanned over nine seasons.
https://metro.co.uk/2024/01/24/man-city-premier-league-charges-uefa-knew-right-champions-league-ban-says-aleksander-ceferin-20162943/

When an official of such a high level makes such statements, it means that he already approximately knows how the matter will end. Will the Premier League really be able to punish City for cheating? Sounds incredible, but maybe it's time to punish the real scammers and not Everton?
I would like to see how City will be seriously punished: they will take away their titles and send them to the Championship.
And suddenly it turns out that Solskjaer with United were able to achieve gold!  Grin

City is still having another chance to turn back the sanction. I will not even expect city to get big sanctions caused by that. The reason why it will not be a problem for the city is that the club is always financially supported by oil money, which acts as a protective shield against any potential major sanctions that may come their way.

It sounds impossible to punish city and money has protected it from any of serious sanction is going to be received by manchester city. City will be sanctioned but court of arbitration will help it again.

This is just another similar pattern repeated. Nothing surprise if i will see city to get light sanctions.

The impressive performance of Real Madrid deserves to go with the trophy this season, but what many are thinking will be the barrier to their victory is Manchester City, but to me, I can say that Real Madrid will surely win the trophy, although all how you rank those teams up is looking more like a sure prediction because it might work that way, and Barcelona deserves their position. You put them as the 6th because of their poor performance this season. I see no reason that Barcelona will even think to reach the semifinals because their performance is not up to the standard, but we can’t just conclude.

Inter Milan and Arsenal performances are all the same, but if you compare with effective consideration, you will see that Arsenal performance is somehow more than Inter Milan, but I believe more in Inter Milan than Arsenal. The positive you kept Bayern Munich as the 3rd is also ok because they are also trying their best to maintain the standard, but they should never think of winning the trophy, which is very heavy for the team.

If the champion league champion still has a long way to go. besides Manchester City there are also strong teams from Germany that can become champions, namely Bayern Munich.
If for the Spanish league champions, maybe it can be said that it has 1 foot stepping champion. because its strongest competitor is only Girona.

There are lots of strong clubs in UCL but bookies were only taking some which have become the most potential clubs to win UCL this season. I can even call all of clubs participated in UCL are strong caused by this league is for best of the best.
The thing that makes me feel curious sometimes bookies were overrating the club that was only performing good without won even a single UCL trophy. This sounds very strange but this is the fact.

It's difficult to determine which team will dominate the competition, but I am confident that there will be several strong contenders, such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, and even Inter Milan. I
The UCL is just around the corner and I am filled with an overwhelming sense of excitement and impatience. I hope that i will be seeing the big match after top 16.

I would like to see real madrid to have a strong club as its next opponent like city or bayern munich.

After rarely getting playing minutes at Manchester City, Kalvin Philips finally moved to West Ham on loan. This agreement is valid until the end of this season and there is a purchase option clause for West Ham. I think it's time for Kalvin Philips to start forgetting Manchester City because the competition there is very tight with other players and it's not that Kalvin Philips is bad, it's just that under Pep Guardiola he wasn't the first choice.

If his performance is convincing at West Ham then he will definitely be made permanent and at least that would be better for his career while he is still competing in England. Even if in the end he has to return to Manchester City then he will only be a bench warmer again and that will make his career not shine again. Well, congratulations to Kalvin Philips, he took the right steps before it was too late.
Congratulations to him. It was not a bad choice caused by westham is also playing good this season. The competition is just getting even tougher than before and it was making situation become even more difficult but he can dig his potential to play for westham.
Although Manchester City possesses an abundance of exceptional talents, the club seems to be facing a dilemma when it comes to effectively assigning these talents to the available positions. It's caused by there was only limited position to play in the starting line up.

He can not compete in the manchester city and he has been choosing the right choice to go to the westham. This is a great choice for his career and he can comeback to the manchester city as a good player that will be ready to compete with other players in city.
I hope he can dig his potential on westham. He needs to show if he was worthy enough to be considered as an important player for the club. The competition to get into the starting line up is so difficult in manchester city.

Union Berlin's match with Bayern Munich last December postponed due to heavy snow, is set to take place at the Allianz Arena today. Bayern Munich are fighting to get back to the top of the points table with table toppers Leverkusen. But Bayern Munich failed to score in their last match, losing 1-0 to Werder Bremen, 7-point gap with Leverkusen. Union Berlin, on the other hand, are far behind in the league, staying with the teams at the bottom of the points table. I don't think Union Berlin can match Bayern Munich. They must win today to recover from the shock of the last match and Bayern Munich looks set to do just that. Both teams are likely to score, but I believe that Bayern Munich will win the match.
Bayern Munich lost points against Berman in their last match and they are still many points behind to challenge Laverkusen. As Bayan Munich are still 7 points behind the top-placed team, it will be important for them to win every match otherwise they will not be able to compete with Laverkusen. They still have a long way to go to top the points table due to a tie with Berman. Bayern Munich can definitely perform well to win the match with Union Berline, because Union Berline is not that strong team, and they are also at the bottom of the points table, and Bayan Munich can definitely increase the points if they win this match.

It was a disgraceful for bayern. The club has been losing against a garbage club and im also concerning about how bayern was not able scoring against it. It was a shame caused by bayern created numerous chances during the game and not even a single goal scored in the back of the net.
I don't even see brement was fighting against bayern munich. Munich was intensively attacking bremen but bremen were able scoring in this game. It seems like that tuchel is going to be scaked by bayern's management.

There are still lots of match to come but since the gap between munich and bayern will be even bigger and the chance to win the competition becomes even smaller than before. Leverkusen fans are feeling so happy coz their rival was not getting full points.
It was fucking crazy to see bremen was always playing defensively and the club focused on waiting for the best moment to did counter attack but it was successfully make bayern lose three points which was amazing to see that.

Inter Milan beat Napoli by a narrow score in the final of the Italian Super Cup and this was Inter Milan's first title this season and with their position in the Serie A standings and also still competing in the Champions League so there is still a chance for Inter Milan to get another title this season and see how their development is very possible, especially to become Serie A champions, and getting at least two titles would certainly be an encouraging achievement for Inter Milan.
Yeah and i have seen the moment when mazzarri was so cocky in his interview. Mazzarri was nothing for napoli and he has brought intermilan to go to another bottom again soon. Im expecting another comeback from lazio. The match against napoli will not be that hard.
The deteriorating state of Napoli is having a detrimental effect on the club's performance, making it even more difficult for them to achieve success. Mazzarri has decided to utilize the final match as an opportunity to reassess the performance exhibited by Napoli.
I can't even trust napoli as long as mazzarri was still there. I prefer to see lazio to win the upcoming game.

In the Italian Super Cup match, both teams had quite a hard time scoring goals and Inter Milan even though they had at least six shots on targets, only one of them could be a goal and that happened in the early minutes of stoppage time making it difficult for Napoli to reply to the goal and had to be satisfied with just being just runner up.
If Inter Milan has the opportunity to win several titles this season then the opposite is for Napoli who will end this season without a single title because the Champions League is not a competition that they will easily conquer, and it is certain that the Serie A title will not be defended.
Intermilan was too strong for all of them. There was no club can stop intermilan except juventus which is equal club against milan. You cannot even named acmilan to be the same as intermilan caused by intermilan is in another level.
Glad to see that intermilan has been leading the competition. Intermilan is the strongest in italy now. Intermilan ma be taking all of trophies related to the italian competition. It has perfect team combined with winning mentality.

Chelsea 4-0 Middlesbrough
Chelsea have completed dominated the game and been the better side, from the first half into this second half. Chelsea team is looking promising, almost at the level that the coach, owner and supporters want the club to play at. Chelsea have now scored 6 goals, and more goals coming. Very good performance for Chelsea that will send fear down the spin of Chelsea's next opponent in the premier league and even in the Carabao cup. Nicholas Jackson's absence does not look like it is missed.

Good performance from Chelsea and good comeback to turnover a goal lead that almost got them eliminated. They performed wonderfully well and were ruthless in this game which i know no one ever expected it happened, we expected a win but didn’t expect such goal margin. 6 goals is just too disrespectful but this shows how seriously they wanted to travel to Wembley.

They still have one more challenge ahead in the final and if they are able to overcome that challenge they would win themselves another trophy for the season. Let’s just hope they can perform this way and score as many goals as this in the final.

They won the game with a 6-1 result against Middlesbrough but who cares about this weak team if they win or lose in this game with six goals or more it doesn't matter for Chelsea. Middlesbrough is the team in the Championship and they are in 11th place of the table while in the last five meets they had, they only won one game.
That's why think we should check harder games to judge about Chelsea.


Im amazed to see that club has scored a lot of goals against the weak team. Yeah weak team, but no problem coz this is showing a positive sign from pochettino caused by he was putting some players in the right position. He was not doing another stupid experiment that can fuck his team again.
The win is amazing and it was really fantastic to see that chelsea won the game then goes to the wembley to face liverpool. There will be a match between liverpool vs fulham but im sure that liverpool can win against fulham soon.

The fans gave chelsea lots of credit for this win. I knew that fans from other clubs were mocking chelsea but since chelsea got it perfectly than it's nice. The game in wemblay is going to be a difficult game since liverpool has been reaching its peak performance this season.

It would be absolutely fantastic if Chelsea manages to defeat Liverpool at Wembley. It will be like a magic. The first half against middle has been showing lots of improvement happend to the chelsea.

EFL cup = Chelsea's UCL. Chelsea just needs to sort the midfield coz it's the only problem in the club that is still remaining unsolved.

So Barcelona again found themselves in awkward situation with the legal time coming to an end with a draw and they should wait for injury time to score goals against Real Betis otherwise they would lose two points..
Barcelona are seven points behind of Real Madrid and seeing how they were doing, I think the situation will not improve and they have to wait for points loss from Real Madrid and Girona side which are advancing too. Girona 5 goals against Sevilla were impressive Wink
Ferran torres has become MOTM in this game. betis was not performing quite well. The club was making various attacks but it can only scored two goals which was a very bad thing to see that. Girona has become the only main competitor for barcelona in catching real madrid which is placing at the top position right now. I do appreciate that the performance from the club in this match caused by barcelona was able playing openly and scored a lot of goals against it. Despite facing financial difficulties, the club is making a concerted effort to improve the situation and make it even better. In an effort to maximize their available resources, Barcelona is making an attempt, however, it is expected that the results may not be sustained for an extended period of time. I do appreciate how xavi keeps try so hard to keep the momentum of club. Barcelona owes him a great deal of gratitude and wants to thank him sincerely.
I wanna say barcelona is still having a chance to compete for the title race this season. The club has not yet lost cuz barcelona is still having enough time till the end of season. The club hopes its competitors will lose some points.
Well, barcelona deserved won against betis caused by the club played better than before. It was even more solid compared to the previous matches.

I told a pal from my end who was actually praising them, ( Yes, they deserve all the praises) how far can they continue with this performance?
For them to let Manchester United win them from behind, then they don't have that killer mentality to hold down games to the end. They're not as Ambitious as I picture them to be.
I don't go about hoping and wishing for people to fail but I know they won't be at the top for too long. Emery is a good man I want to see him go far in the Conference League Competition this season.

Arsenal are bottlers I don't underestimate what they can do in between but not with attacking players like Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus. Jesus Christ, Hell No!!!!

Arsenal just don't have it in themselves to make it to the Premier League championship. For example they were great until reaching the final weeks in last season. They suddenly started losing many points and just handed the championship over to Manchester City. Now Arsenal are doing a similar thing much earlier in the season.
There's nothing to expect from arsenal if it keeps bottling the upcoming game. It looked like arsenal was strong but it is always missing points in a very important moment. It's irrational for me to think arsenal can win EPL title this season. CIty and liverpool have made the situation even more complicated than last season. Arsenal was not facing city as the strongest candidate to get the trophy but it's also facing liverpool which is going back to the right track in winning EPL trophy. People were always being so positive to the arsenal but they got pranked by this fuckin club.
It's so terrible to see how arsenal bottling EPL title at the end of last season. Arsenal is seemingly repeating the same mistake again like last season.




Of course, Manchester City also lost some points quite often lately. But there is still a huge difference between them and Arsenal. Arsenal need to add better players for some specific areas also by the way if they aim the title.
True but everything change when de bruyne and haaland will comeback next month. This is what jurgen klopp is scared for. The comeback of manchester city with the full squad may be also giving another pressure to the arsenal and liverpool.
Im feeling that arsenal and liverpool are going to bottle it again this season.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 22, 2024, 11:44:03 PM
For Liverpool I think the important match will be on the 2nd of February, they meet Arsenal and everything can turn upside down there, as it usually happens in such matches. Considering that Arsenal are only 5 points behind, a win over Liverpool could give them a lot and I think they will not miss this opportunity
What if they end the match with a draw?? Both teams have a lot at stake so in a bid to not end the match without any point they will both want to draw , Arsenal is getting close to the top of the table again after the did dropped some points and went some steps behind the top spot on the table but Liverpool has been gradually going up till they are now at the top of the table and they are definitely going to maintain

I would also love to see the out come of the game between these two teams because I have seen their performance so far this season a d Arsenal have been able to defeat Manchester city which was considered a very tough team for them so let's see what they will do with Liverpool.
A lot of people will say Liverpool will definitely win and that's what everyone will think cause the last time Arsenal and Liverpool played their previous match Liverpool won but Arsenal dominated, seeing the performance of Arsenal against crystal palace shows Arsenal are fully ready but do they have what it takes to beat Liverpool, I can't predict the future of this match for now.
It's just the match against palce buddy, is there something special from palace now? This club has been placed at the bottom too. The won against palace was not something special. Arsenal may still struggle in upcoming game. Let's said that how many times people were expecting this club to play better but arsenal keeps bottle it again and again. Im boring to see that how arsenal becomes trophyless again, again and again. There has no winning mentality owned by this club. We are talking consistently and mentality once we have come to the topic discussed the potential winner for the current season. I don't wanna have a repeat of last year but arsenal keeps repeat it and may be for this season too.

I don't think Liverpool will want to leave the top and they'll do everything in their power to win and Arsenal at the other hand will fight to gain more point so this match will be very tough and interesting to watch.
Being placed at the top makes liverpool played even better than before. Jota has been also growing up after it had been forced by the situation happened in the liverpool. Salah was injured and there was no good guy who can replace him except jota. He took care of it.
Jota is performing very well as a right winger and he has done it against bournemouth. The situation has forced liverpool to adapt with the new gameplay without salah. Missing salah was giving good and bad news.

Liverpool is just growing up slowly but surely without salah.

Milan trailed 2-1 in the match until the 80th minute. I thought at most they would be able to draw the match. Because after scoring 2 goals, Udinese tightened their defense. So it was difficult for the Milan players to score after a very good performance. But in the end AC Milan managed to win the match. They earn 3 points. Luka Jovic's goal in the 83rd minute tied the match at 2-2. And Milan managed to win the match after 90 minutes with Okafor's goal.

Even after winning this match, there is no change in the position of Milan in the points table. I don't even see the possibility of this team winning the title. At the same time, despite performing poorly in a few matches, there is no possibility for them to get out of the Champions League zone.
Milan continues to strive to be able to continue playing optimally in every match. Their inconsistent journey this season has certainly meant that their position at the top of the standings is always under real threat. The dramatic victory over Udinese was certainly welcomed by the Milanisti because the positive trend shown by the Rossoneri players is now increasingly making Milan's hopes of being able to continue to have a strong grip on the competition for the Champions League zone. However, it is very unfortunate that in that match there was another act of racism and the attitude of a group of supporters at Bluenergy Stadium was very inappropriate.

Acmilan was still underperform. The performance from club has not yet recovered to its best. It was quite different with acmilan in the early season when it was always dominating the game. The club is playing differently at this moment.
The club rarely owned the game against other club. This has also become the major problem encountered by the club. Milan needs to recover it again to make sure it can win easily against the club that has performed below than it.

It's very true adding all the uncertainties that comes with football recently its very possible that PSG can act very poorly and other teams take advantage of them to getting to the top of the table that was how it happened few seasons back where PSG later struggled getting to win the league title as they lost it that season.
PSG struggled but they have this high spirit of bouncing back to winning shape but it's quite different for them in major tournaments, they don't have the credibility of aiming for elite tournaments other than settling for domestic league which have become a season routine for them. PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi should enforced new rules if he's keen on making the team better, he should allow the players that doesn't develop any ambition for the team to leave and focused on the young players that would be more promising in the future.
Paris Saint-Germain jeopardize big chances at die minute, they're usually known for that.

Even as a coach with Barcelona, Luis Enrique did well to win the treble for Barcelona, though one can say that he had all of those special players which he could use to win them the treble.
He was also trying to repeat the same thing in PSG. He gets more advantage caused by PSG had unlimited money to build the club and this is the main reason of him being able to buy so various players easily without even getting restricted by the FFP.
PSG was also giving him more privilage compared to the barcelona and im not doubting him if PSG will able to have better squad under him even though it's kinda different compared to the last season when messi was still there.

I'm sure that he'll do the same this exact season with Paris Saint Germans even if he doesn't have the same set of players. I never meant winning the Champions League but they'll win the French league 1.
They're close to losing Kylian Mbappe who has come to agreement with Real Madrid and he'll definitely leave them at the end of the season.
French league shall become his first target then if PSG will be lucky enough and it will be winning the competition soon. PSG is still in the process of being a strong club. Enrique was slowly but surely building the club to be even better than before.
PSG was lucky enough to have him on its side.

Like you, I think Manchester City beat Copenhagen, especially with Kevin De Bruyne back. His skills improve greatly. I'm planning for the quarterfinals and beyond. City is strong but not invincible. They'll likely beat Copenhagen, but Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will be tougher. Those games will show if City can win it all. Football is unpredictable. It's not enough to have top players like De Bruyne; it's how they play together under pressure. That will decide if they can win Champions League again
Even without Kevin De Bruyne, the match against Copenhagen should still be an easy match for Manchester City because there is a difference in the quality of the two teams, although surprises may still occur when the favorite team performs badly because they slightly underestimate their opponent but on paper Manchester City's winning percentage is very big in the first match of this knockout round so that the quarter-finals will be theirs and City having Kevin De Bryune is a big advantage, that's why it is reported that the club has proposed a new contract for the player because there are reports that there are Arab clubs who are interested in him.
When Manchester City qualify for the quarter-finals, the match will be even more difficult because the team that advances to the quarter-finals will of course be a team that is more evenly strong and that will be enough to determine City's next steps whether they can qualify for the semifinals and final or will stop.


Manchester city was not comparable to the copenhagen. Even the secondar squad of city can beat it easily but pep shall not need to underestimate its opponent. The club needs to perform even better than before. Manchester city needs always to use its full power to beat any club in the UCL. This has become the main problem for city. City is now getting easiest route to go to the final of UCL. City can make it to win UCL two times in a row which will able to compete with real madrid for this.
De bruyne will increase the self confidence owned by manchester city and ti seems like that city is ready to get another UCL trophy again. Other club needs to worry with the comeback of some key players of manchester city.
It's caused by these players will become the main threats for any clubs in UCL. I think the club that will not get city as the next opponent will be lucky enough. City will be trying so hard to perform better.
The competition is still continue and it seems like that city will try to hard to strengthen the club. Im sure pep had been preparing a lot of plans for city.

Breaking news!

Quote
Jose Mourinho has turned down an approach from Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab after his Roma sacking last week.
https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jose-mourinho-rejects-al-shabab-roma-sacking-despite-previous-saudi-admission/bltc0530ad1adbbe792

Mourinho has officially rejected al shabab's interest in recruiting him. It seems like he cannot be consistent with his statement last season said that if mourinho was willing to accept any offer that came from saudi pro laegue. He had been showing his interest through his interview once he was still coaching roma but he is changing his mind regarding this. It seems like that the exodus for some players back to the european competition may become the real reason he was changing his mind.

Im sure that mou has been analyzing the performance from saudi pro league too. The growth is just getting even slower than before and mourinho is aware of that. I meant that mourinho was still feeling so badly after roma was sacking him.
He has been working with all of his heart in roma but the club could not even give him second chance to stay on as roma. That's really painful for him and i think mou is looking for another european club this time.

I hope he can find one that suits him. Mou deserves to get a good club. I hope newcastle can try to sign him as a new coach. The competition between him and Pep is set to take place once more, and we will be there to witness it.

I mean Modric is at Real and he is 38 years old, and he was offered a ton of money too, and he rejected too. Same with Kroos, he was offered a ton of money by Saudis and he rejected as well. We just need to realize that there are some players who will not care about how much, it could be 50 million a year, 100 a year, 200 a year, they will just reject.

That should be at their own risk. Most of these players play football for the money. A player rejecting such a big offer may be because they already have enough to sustain them or are not considering how much more they can keep for themselves after football. I see nothing wrong with those players leaving or with those who remain. It is a matter of choice, and everyone has their own opinion.

It is not all of players are not so gree af. Some players are getting good amounts of salary and they are feeling that's enough for them. This is also the main reason they were not aiming to get greater salary by joining in the saudi pro league. This is the true footballer.
They were putting passion as their main consideration instead of how much money they are getting it from playing for a specific club.

They are dedicating all of their life to play football. Im thinking they have enough salary to keep his life even till they will retire as a professional football club too. Im not seeing it as a problem.
Some players are dedicating everything to work on his passion. They were staying in eu caused by they know that they will not be able to adapt to the new environment easily.

There's nothing wrong with their choices. They have their own consideration before try to do that.

Kevin De Bruyne has been of interest to Saudi Pro League officials, however, Manchester City want the Belgian to sign a new contract with the club.

Im sorry to say that if saudi club will be only dreaming in getting de bruyne to join on its club soon. Manchester city urges de bruyne to sign the new contract with the club. The duration of new contract will be until 2026. De bruyne was feeling so happy to stay in the manchester city.
It doesn't even matter how big an offer came from saudi pro league and the result will always be the same. That is the same as when saudi club was also targeting salah. Liverpool was trying so hard to keep him till he will be leaving from the club by himself.

Im not doubting the commitment owned by him. So far, so good. There's no need for bruyne to leave from city to go to the lower competition compared to the EPL. it will be a setback for him. City has found back its soul again after bruyne played again in the main squad.
People are waiting for haaland to give good progress of his recovery from his injury. It will be far good if haaland can comeback asap.

The match between Bochum and VfB Stuttgart was really a surprising match as Bochum won in-form Stuttgart by 1:0 with just a shot on target while Stuttgart had 5 shots on target but none was converted to a goal. Though Stuttgart dominated the game but they ran out of luck after they conceded a goal in the 50th minutes of play and they struggled to equalize the goal but however they couldn't. Though this loss against Bochum didn't affect the position of Stuttgart in the league table as they still maintain the third position in the bundesliga table.
What i have predicted in the past was coming true. Stuttgart was nothing without guirassy on its side. Guirassy participated in the AFCON and his club was always suffering the bad result. The main weakness of stuttgart was guirassy caused by this guy was always helping the club to score. No doubt that if people are seeing different stuttgart when guirassy was not there. Im thinking about the thing like stuttgart to do to the middle standing after it was consistently losing without guirassy played for stuttgart,
Anyone can imagine that what's going to happen with stuttgart once guirassy will be leaving from the club soon. This will be greatly affect the performance of the club.

Tomorrow in the epl
Sheffield United Host West ham United
What do you think ?
West Ham have played three games in the new year without a win. Sheffield United could use home advantage to take advantage of West Ham's injury problems and their recent poor form. Sheffield United's recent win over Gillingham in the FA Cup will boost their confidence. West Ham, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games, looking to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment. However, I feel the match will be a high scoring match as both teams can score multiples. West Ham are ahead on paper but I'm not putting Sheffield United behind, they could share the points.
Im feeling shefflied is going to win the upcoming game against westham soon. Sheffield has a good result in FA unlike westham which was struggling against its opponent. The previous match had proven how bad westham with its secondary squad.
I consider so numerous players may still be left from the club because of the AFCON. It's hard to say that if westham is going to win the game against sheffield but the odds were quite good for westham.

Damn, the match in the EPL becomes even harder to predict because of the bad result achieved by westham in the FA cup. Im starting to lose my confidence to pick westham to win the game soon. Im feeling sheffield will hold the game even with narrow score against westham.
Im starting to lose my trust on it but i can still put a small hope for westham to win the game.

Draw may become the possible result for this match too. I can't really measure how strong westham without a lot of key players.

This is another opportunity for Real Madrid today to improve their points again because, their opponent is a weak team that is allowing many teams to achieved points from them and Real Madrid will surely achieve victory from Almeria to make their fans happy again.

I know that Real Madrid experience some problem that reduced their points which their coach has promised to work on those errors to ensure they will not allow such mistakes to occur till the end of the tournament and, today game will prove to people if truly their coach can fulfill their promise in this game.

I vehemently believe that Real Madrid is gonna win Almeria in this game because they wouldn't want to drop points now that they know if they lose points now then they might be facing some setback in the title race in the sense that Girona wouldn't want to give them an opportunity to top the league again because they know too well that allowing Real Madrid to top the league again might really weaken their morale this time and knowing fully well what they passed through before they were able to top the table. Should Real Madrid lose out to Almeria in this game then am afraid it might be the beginning of their problem but notwithstanding, I don't thinks there is any factor that will hinder Real Madrid not to win Almeria.

I would rather than believe in the statistic to be compared between boths. real madrid was having very good history against almeria and why shall we feel doubt about this? Im not even seeing a problem related to this.
Im not even doubting the competency of real madrid in this case. Im not seeing that almeria was a strong club. I would rather than call it as a small rock for real madrid. Real madrid will never lose gainst mediocre club like almeria and believe me.

Real madrid is not having good odds coz bookies were fully trusting el real to win the game soon. I think that the result from this match can be known easily without even watching the game.
Real madrid will not try to bottle it after it was losing against atletico madrid in the last match. Thsi is going to be a good match to put all of their emotions after the loss against atletico madrid dramatically.

Believe me if there will be no luck to come for almeria. The club will be bottling it.
