Erik ten Hag has had an impressive start at Manchester United. After 25 games at Manchester United, United has a 72% winning rate under his management. He really benefited from some tough decisions he made. His work has been going well, and he will likely continue to do so as long as the club allows him to do it in his own way. It is because of this privilege that he has been given by Manchester United that he has achieved this result. What is the most important thing right now for Manchester United? What matters is how it ends, not how it starts.
the appearance of manchester united vs bournemouth was really impressive, but there was an incident that van de beek had to experience, it was reportedly unclear whether it was a serious or minor injury.



Today's match,
Southampton vs N Forest
Leeds vs west ham
Aston villa vs wolves




Actually, I really can't or can't bear to see an incident like this in a match, because I feel it too because of course it hurts a lot. Several times I saw incidents such as a broken leg occurring in a football match, and it was really terrible and of course also very unfortunate.
It's difficult to avoid something like this and I hope Donny van de Beek is okay because if I look at the pictures it's clear it's going to be a very serious injury. Cry

But apart from that incident and related to the way Erik ten Hag coached Manchester United it was very good because in fact, Erik ten Hag was also able to give good results for Manchester United before the season started.
Even though at first I thought it might just be Erik ten Hag's luck in the pre-season match, but in fact the assumption was wrong because Erik ten Hag really proved his quality as a great coach at this moment.

Today the big teams or at least the teams that are competing in the top ten in La Liga will play in the Copa del Rey which of course, on paper these La Liga teams have a great chance to win the match. But because usually they only play second tier players, even though these favorite teams get small odds I personally am still not interested in betting on them in this Copa del Rey event.
Because it seems like the Copa del Rey is not their main priority, but even so they will still try to play well.

Because after all, with them or these second-tier players getting time to play, of course, they will also try hard to get good results.
Because then they will be considered to be the main replacement when the main player is injured later, so yes, because I assume like that, any results in this match can happen and the favorite team doesn't fully promise a definite victory.

My prediction about Arsenal is at least true, because I am quite sure about Newcastle which can provide a good fight for Arsenal. I'm sure if Newcastle don't win then Newcastle can still hold Arsenal to a draw and it's true.
But one thing that I can't accept is that they ended the match 0-0, because even though I'm pretty sure Newcastle can hold Arsenal to a draw, at least they can still score goals.

But indeed, after all, Arsneal is also good in statistics that seem to be able to control the course of the match and with this result Arsenal are still safely at the top of the Premiere League standings.
Another match that impressed me a lot was Brighton winning by a big score, and with this result it looks like Lampard's position might become insecure and indeed it is time for Everton to have a new, better coach.

The result that was quite surprising to me was the final result from Atalanta, how could Atalanta, who at the start of the season looked so good but over time Atalanta seemed to have difficulty getting back up. Indeed, cases like this have also occurred from last season where Atalanta has slowly been losing its good performance.
Even though today's match was against a team that basically wasn't that good, because Spezia so far this season has only been struggling not to be part of the relegation zone.

With the difference in competition regarding top and bottom boards like this at least Atalanta can end the match with a win but yes, a draw isn't entirely bad either because they still get one point.
But with a result like this, it is very likely that Atalanta's position will be taken over by Roma, at this moment, Roma are still leading with a score of 1-0 against Bologna.

This accusation seems inappropriate for Carlo Ancelotti, because Carlo Ancelotti is a coach who has a lot of experience and has a very unique way of giving directions to his players and is also quite relaxed in dealing with any situation. This is what I see from Carlo Ancelotti and this is of course very different from Xavi who is coaching Barcelona so they both clearly have different strategies in training players and in developing the team to be better and to be more consistent, especially this season.
There is no doubt about Real Madrid and its coach, in fact I think they deserved to win the title with the composition of the players and the coach. But regarding Barcelona, ​​​​Xavi does lack experience as a coach but he has been quite successful in building his team since last season and competing at the top of the standings. The two coaches have different styles of play, that was never a problem because at the end of the day they have the same mission about titles.

This season Xavi has really managed to lead his team to perform well in La Liga, it is something that has always been doubted because of his capacity. But I have a lot of respect for him and his successful career as a coach, and now he has to enjoy it.
Of course, Xavi is a good quality coach.  Xavi did very well in Thorke last game, and got the lost Barca back on their feet.  Moreover, under the leadership of Xavi, Barca are at the top of the table, although Real Madrid is there

I don't think it's right to compare Xavi to Carlo Ancelotti because after all, both of them have very different experience and experience as coaches. So naturally I think that Xavi is still not as good as Carlo Ancelotti, but with Xavi's achievements so far as a coach, of course Xavi also deserves an appreciation.
Because there are not many young coaches who still lack experience, but they managed to get the team back in shape for the better and Xavi can do that.

Not only that, because Xavi also managed to restore the performance of a team as big as Barcelona and usually coaches like this, it is difficult for them to overcome the problems that exist in a big team.
But yes, with Barcelona's performance so far I'm considering it too even though they are competing in the title race, but I think Xavi still has to work even harder because their squad still doesn't fully have the gameplay as expected.

PSG had to lose the match due to the absence of two attacking players. It was the second match after the World Cup break. Messi did not return to PSG after winning the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. After Neymar got a red card in the first match, he could not play this match. PSG were missing Messi and Neymar after conceding 3 goals. Mbappe and Hakimi were also seen in a very helpless state. Kylian Mbappe could not shine in this match without Neymar and Messi. All in all, PSG had to lose without Messi and Neymar.
It's true that the roles of Messi and Neymar in PSG's attack line are very important, especially if it's just Mbappe, everything seems impossible to win. But when talking about PSG this shouldn't be a problem for them, it's just that when PSG face Lens, we know the closest competitor in the standings, of course it will be very difficult for PSG to win. But with this result, it is hoped that Messi and Neymar can immediately strengthen PSG again and of course they must immediately evaluate the results of the match so they don't concede any more points.

After all, when a big team with good quality plays, then they can still at least play well. Even though they can't beat Lens, at least PSG can hold it to a draw, or at least only lose by one goal difference.
As a big team, it doesn't matter if their key players can play or not, because with the quality that PSG has, at least PSG still has to be able to play with a better effort and motivation.

Because even though Lens at this moment is a team that is ranked second, but basically Lens is not a big team with a luxurious squad. So yes, I can say that PSG's competitors in Ligue 1 are very random, because basically PSG's competitors in this league do not have above average quality like PSG.
With this defeat, of course, PSG must be able to evaluate and overcome it, because it would be dangerous if at certain moments when PSG played against a stronger team. But the conditions and situations were the same as what happened in that match, so PSG did not have the power and effort to be able to provide strong and good resistance.

Milan must take this opportunity with 3 points, because this is the momentum to shorten the points gap with Napoli. We know, Napoli was in a bad performance during the friendly match at the break of the world cup. If this continues, there is a possibility that Napoli will lose to Inter Milan. Of course, during the friendly match many players were defending their countries in their respective national teams. But, we are talking about possibilities, the chance for Napoli to lose can happen.
At the moment, Napoli are flying, no pints are being thrown back. With Serie A returning on Wednesday, Luciano Spalletti's side leads the table by eight points. The team should maintain consistency, since chances can arise at any time if Napoli loses points.

Even though Milan played badly in the friendly match but tomorrow's opponent in the Serie A match against Salernitana, in fact Salernitana also got bad results in the friendly match. What's more, Salernitana didn't do many friendly matches, this might also have an impact on Salernitana's performance tomorrow against Milan.
So yes, I personally think that Milan will still win, because I think Milan's quality this season is still at its best.

But regarding the match between Inter and Napoli, of course this is a match that is difficult to predict which team will win. Because even though at this moment Napoli is better, we also cannot completely underestimate Inter, because Inter is also not a mediocre team that at least is often underestimated.
So yes, with both of them having good qualities then of course they will play well to get points, so any results for this match can of course still happen because they are also targeting to get points.

When I look at today's matches, I see that it is a very important match. Maybe the fate of the league depends on this match. Arsenal-Newcastle united match is an important match in terms of changing the course of the league. If Arsenal gets 3 points with a good game, they will take the psychological advantage. Otherwise city will get closer to arsenal. If Arsenal wants to win the championship this year, I think they absolutely have to win this match no matter what.

On paper I'm sure Arsenal will still have a chance to win, moreover Arsenal will play at home because so far this season Arsenal have always won when playing at home. Also, after this World Cup, the fact is that Arsenal can still play well with the two wins they got in the previous two matches.
So yes, Arsenal are still the favorites anyway as they will certainly make a big effort to maintain their good record so far.

But even so, even though Newcastle in the previous match was held to a draw by Leeds which of course is an unpredictable result too. So it seems that at this moment I have to get out of the way or have to get out of the predictions on paper. Because I think Newcastle could have made a surprise in this match by holding to a draw or maybe beating Arsenal.
If Newcastle manages to hold on to a draw or beat Arsenal in this match, then Newcastle can stop Arsenal's winning record for their home matches this season.

Ever since Ronaldo' left Manchester united,  united have been playing all their games well with a good result. If I should compare the performance and challenge in both teams, I think Manchester United is better,  all their player’s are doing better in performance.
Manchester united has already orove in their March during the weekend that they can do without Ronaldo.
I think Manchester United's performance is very independent of Ronaldo and this has nothing to do with Ronaldo because before Ronaldo left Manchester United, Ronaldo was also not fully played into the game, so Manchester United's appearance that has been seen so far was purely due to the efforts of the coach himself. who are still determined to change the way of playing for the better and now it is starting to show.

Yes indeed, the rise of Manchester United is purely from the way of coaching Erik ten Hag but still, whether Ronaldo is in the Manchester United squad or not still has a difference. Because when Ronaldo was still in the Manchester United squad, it was like making the other players in the Manchester United squad not too flexible in playing.
At least there is still stiffness and/or like an obstacle, especially for the Manchester United coach who seems to have a burden when he doesn't play Ronaldo.

But yes, after all, so far Erik ten Hag can provide the best for Manchester United. Also, of course, this change in performance is also a good achievement as a coach who is still new to coaching a team in the English Premier League with very tough competition.
So, with Erik ten Hag having proven himself in the Premiere League, then Erik ten Hag will certainly prove that Manchester United are currently improving and ready to play well in the European League as well.

Salernitana vs Milan match will start tomorrow. Salernitana and Milan fans are waiting to watch the game to see which team will play well. Milan has a big chance to win this match. Most people are supporting Milan.  Salernitana have not won any of their last 5 matches. They have lost 4 matches and drawn 1 match.
It looks like AC Milan has the potential to lose several of its players, Stefano Pioli has confirmed Divock Origi is still out due to a muscle injury he suffered during the training camp in Dubai United Arab Emirates, during the break for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Junior Messias and Alessandro Florenzi are both still out. Now Cedra is joined by Ante Rebic and Fode Ballo-Toure.

Thus, the total AC Milan players who will be absent in this match are 5 people. milan should get full points in their first match after the world cup break, i think milan is able to give their best game so as not to lose points against Salernitana

Yes, I hope that their injuries or not being able to play them will not become an obstacle for Milan to be able to get full points in this match. Because Salernitana also has several players who cannot be played and of course, with this factor it might also make their performance decrease a little.
But if they have substitute players or second tier players who have good gameplay or good quality, then of course the performance will still be good in this match.

But if I also consider the odds currently available, at least it is true that Milan is predicted to win. But I feel that Milan still won't be easy to beat Salernitana, because Salernitana can also play well sometimes.
But yes, because Milan is also currently in second place in the Serie A standings, of course Milan will make greater efforts to keep getting full points against mediocre teams.

I wonder if Espanyol can achieve a technical victory over Barcelona? I strongly doubt it, but the current situation is puzzling - even if the three-match suspension of Lewandowski is canceled, in any case, having received a red card, he should have missed the game with Espanyol, but he took part in it. The situation looks super absurd. I hope that at least by January 8th, the court decision will be made and we will see the "legitimate" development of events and not this absurdity when a disqualified player takes part in the game violating the rules.

To be honest, I also really didn't expect that the red card penalty that Lewandowski received could be suspended like that, I don't think there has ever been such a case before. With that incident too, I really don't understand Barcelona, does Barcelona really have the many privileges it has.
Just imagine, from the financial cases that happened before, basically when a team has experienced a bad financial decline, they won't be able to buy many players. But strangely, Barcelona didn't even just buy a lot of players, but Barcelona could buy a lot of luxury players, which seemed to have something or something special about Barcelona that seemed difficult to disclose or investigate.

But apart from that case, Barcelona still couldn't win in that match, which basically on paper Barcelona would win easily.
But the fact is that even their players in that match got a red card and in fact, Xavi also got a yellow card in that match. So with the privileges that Barcelona have but still, they are still difficult to win in that derby match and I hope that with all these cases Barcelona will prove to be a foul because this team is very strange and makes no sense to me.

Schalke are the only team worse than Bochum in the bundesliga this season, and things are not looking good for the both of them. But the bundesliga this season is so tight, Bochum in 17th position are on 13 points, while Mainz up in 10th position are on 19 points, just 6 points gap, everything is all so close and positions can change very fast, maybe even Bochum has a good chance of escaping relegation.

Yes, that is right. The teams are very close in terms of points. When the first games start again we will see who continues to play against relegation and which teams do not. At the moment it does not look good for Schalke and Bochum. But the long break will certainly help one team more than the other. So I am curious to see who will cope better with the long break.
Things are a bit more difficult for Schalke, of course. They are at the bottom of the league and will have to work hard to get out of this position. They need to make good player transfers. Staying in the Bundesliga is not easy because many teams are very strong. Schalke, Bochum and Stuttgart are the teams that are in the relegation pot. They must have spent this break mostly getting ready.

However Schalke will face a more difficult opponent when the match restarts after this long break and in fact, Schalke will play away against a team in the top four in the standings who have been in good form this season. Playing against Eintracht Frankfurt for Schalke is a match which is of course very difficult compared to the other two relegated teams, and even though for example in this match Schalke is playing at home I'm sure Schalke will still lose.
It doesn't matter how good the changes Schalke has made at the break of the season and in the transfer window at this moment, because Schalke is in a situation and condition that is not doing well.

So yes, I personally feel that the chance for Schalke to get out of the relegation zone is very difficult. Yes indeed, anything can still happen but because Schalke does not have the ability to build a team well and quickly, then I think this is a weakness that Schalke cannot overcome.
But apart from that I also of course still hope that Schalke can change after this break, because based on their points so far compared to the teams who are in the relegation zone we can still assume the gap is not too far.

I don't know what happened to Chelsea at the moment, but a draw against Nottingham Forest is a result that should be very embarrassing for them. They haven't had a good enough season this season, after the draw against Nottingham Forest they are only 8th in the EPL standings with 25 points. In the next game we'll see their game with Manchester City and maybe that game will be a chance for Potter to show his quality as a manager.
Chelsea lost it integrity since 2009 or thereabouts, from 2000 Chelsea was a very strong team in the football game, I was not thinking that  Nottingham Forest would draw with Chelsea. Really it is embarrassment to the team, they have to work the team hard to face their opponents next time. The season is difficult for them but they can still adjust it and do well.
Manchester City will beat them in the next match. Potter can only coach them what he has and he can't do otherwise. So the chance of winning is still low.

Basically, Chelsea had been very good when Tuchel coached but unfortunately, problems regarding ownership at that time made Chelsea have to have a new owner and made Tuchel sacked. Because if at that time, for example, Chelsea didn't have problems like that, then maybe Chelsea are still in their best form right now.
Because the decline in Chelsea's performance in the Tuchel era also occurred at least after Chelsea had problems like that, so at this moment it was like they were building a team from scratch again with their new coach Graham Potter.

Talking about the next match where Chelsea will play at home against Manchester City, I also think that Chelsea's chances of winning will certainly be very difficult. But after considering Manchester City's performance which still looks unstable, it is possible that Chelsea can still get a draw with one point.
But they will play back to back because after they play in the Premier League and then, Manchester City will play at home against Chelsea in the FA Cup. With a schedule like that, I personally feel that this match will be difficult to predict, because even though Manchester City is good on paper, it still doesn't guarantee that Manchester City will win easily.

People have already started to talk about a probable Mbappe exit from PSG by this summer. Mbappe's name is called with Real Madrid as usual. They are showing various reasons as a motivation for him to do so. For example, a Champions League title would be one of the strong motivations for him to do so. PSG must also be aware of this situation that they are fully concentrated on getting the title this season. Yes, maybe Mbappe already has a huge contract but they can't rely on just that.

Because Real Madrid also have the financial power to meet his demands easily. So PSG need to worry about the Champions League the most now. Who knows maybe this season might be the last one we are watching him playing for them if they don't win the title.

It has been more than two seasons since Kylian Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid. In fact, they came very close to signing him, but PSG made him an offer he could not refuse, and he was unable to reject it.

There is no guarantee that that will work this time around as Real Madrid are far more interested in him, and Florentino Pérez is keen to bring him to Madrid if he gets the chance. There is a big reason for PSG not being able to win any of the Champions League competitions, as well as the fact that every player dreams of playing in the Real Madrid jersey one day in his life.

What's more, if we relate to the results that PSG got in the two smelly matches recently after the World Cup break, the results were not very good and with these bad results. So at least, maybe at this moment Mbappe will find it difficult to get good results when there is no good support in their gameplay.
So, maybe Mbappe will also start to realize that to win the title is not only about money but also many factors that are of course important in the team.

With PSG still weak when they lost several of their main players, then of course Mbappe really can't stay at PSG forever. Because if Mbappe plays for a team, especially for Real Madrid, then I personally believe that Mbappe will be better when playing at Real Madrid and also has a great chance to win many titles.
It's interesting how Mbappe is developing, because Mbappe has very good potential in the future.

Napoli are a strong team who haven't suffered a defeat yet in this league, but that doesn't mean they are invincible, Inter are very solid and have a strong enough attack, it will certainly be a very tough match for Inter winning remains the only option to be able to get back in the running for the Scudetto. Milan, Juve, and all the other direct competitors are hoping for a victory for Inter, so as to reopen the championship
Inter still have a chance to beat Napoli in the match on January 5, but Inter must try to do their best and try very hard to try to get a win from Napoli because so far Napoli's defense has been very difficult to break through easily. Maybe Inter will just rely on luck, hoping to be on Inter's side.

If I consider the head to head results as well I think Inter did not really dominate the win when playing against Napoli, because sometimes Napoli can also beat Inter and also end the match with a draw. Meanwhile at that time at least Inter's performance, quality and squad were still better than Napoli but at that time Napoli were able to provide a good resistance when playing against Inter.
Therefore, while Napoli are clearly in their best form at this moment, I personally really believe that Napoli have a greater chance of winning or at least they will get a draw.

Because even though Inter also have great motivation to stop Napoli from going too far, the reality is that Napoli also certainly has big ambitions to become title winners this season.
With the big ambitions that Napoli also have, of course, Napoli will certainly play with great efforts at least so as not to lose playing at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. So, it's not only Inter who has great motivation because of course these two teams have the target of getting good results so they will play well in this match.

With Lens' win over PSG with a score of 3-1, Lens is the only team that has conceded the fewest goals so far in Ligue 1. Didn't expect it, because who can predict PSG's competitors who are looking good so far are Lens and not about Lyon, Lille and Marseille.
The number of PSG's key players who could not be played, this had a very bad impact because it made PSG's performance really drop dramatically.

This result at least proves that when PSG are without their main players, PSG is only like a mediocre team. Because if I compare the defeats of Lens and PSG so far this season, they have only received one defeat, but PSG got a worse score when they received defeat compared to Lens.
But yes, at least PSG's position is still safe at the top of the standings, and when their key players return, PSG will return to their best form.

the first half Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest ended with a temporary score of 1-0 with Chelsea taking the lead on goals scored by Sterling. Throughout the match Chelsea continued to dominate possession. However, it seems that the Chelsea players are having difficulty breaking through Nottingham Forest's defense. and it turned out that Nottingham Forest's counter-attack gave Chelsea's defense a bit of a surprise even though it wasn't dangerous.
Sterling scoring for the first time has put Chelsea ahead and is likely to make the difference in the game.
He was really relax. They are in control of the game.
Unless forest change their tactics, Chelsea will remain in control of the game. They need to move up in the pitch a little bit. And also press hard.

Naturally, if Chelsea had difficulty penetrating Nottingham's defense, because basically Nottingham was also only focused on defending. Even though Nottingham occasionally makes counterattacks, still, Nottingham will defend more often. Because if Nottingham also plays attack, then it is very likely that Chelsea can easily make more dangerous inroads into the Nottingham defense area.
But anyway, Chelsea have also won by one goal at half time which is certainly good for them, but I hope Chelsea will continue to put pressure on Nottingham.

Because if in the second half Chelsea reduced the intensity of their attacks, it is likely that Nottingham will be able to score goals too. Therefore, I hope Chelsea are still motivated to be able to score another goal in the second half, because being only one goal ahead is basically still not safe.
Because these lower ranked teams can sometimes make surprises as well so yeah, hopefully the second goal and maybe also the third goal will still be scored by Chelsea in the second half to make a good win at this moment.
And now we can see that in the second half Nottingham really endangered the Chelsea defense with some fast attacks. I think Chelsea need to restore their composure on the ball. and yeah it would be great if Chelsea put more pressure on the Nottingham forest defense. But now it seems that Nottingham forest is continuing to put pressure on the Chelsea defense. and the score has changed to 1-1.

Something that I was worried about happened, and to be honest with this result it certainly makes me very disappointed with Chelsea for making my multi bet lose again and again. I had previously hoped that Chelsea would have to continue to put pressure on Nottingham and I hoped that Chelsea's one-goal victory in the first half would not make Chelsea feel complacent.
But in reality Chelsea really lowered their intensity to attack, because in the second half Chelsea only controlled ball possession but didn't make much effort to apply pressure.

With the reduced intensity of attacks in the second half, Chelsea had to accept a draw in this match, even though if they continued to play with high pressure in the second half, the one-goal victory would certainly be maintained.
If it continues like this in every match, then it is clear that Graham Potter was a mistake because he did not apply the right strategy or they really underestimated opponents who were in the relegation zone. Angry

Therefore, I hope Chelsea are still motivated to be able to score another goal in the second half, because being only one goal ahead is basically still not safe.
Because these lower ranked teams can sometimes make surprises as well so yeah, hopefully the second goal and maybe also the third goal will still be scored by Chelsea in the second half to make a good win at this moment.

I believe that Napoli is going to want to get all three points from the match against Inter. That is going to get them started in a very positive way. I do not think that they should go for a draw in this match. They have been playing really well and positively till the break.

So, I think they should continue with a positive mindset. Unless they face some big difficulties in the match, they should not go for a draw and they should always go for a win. There is no reason for them to be scared because they have a good amount of lead right now.
Napoli and Inter I think both want to get 3 points in this game, but I think Inter seem more motivated to do so considering this is their first home game since the World Cup ended. On Inter's side, their recent injuries shouldn't really affect their performance in that match, but they have to avoid mistakes as much as possible considering that Napoli can really destroy Inter's hopes of being in the top 4.

A home win shouldn't come as a surprise later as Inter are unlikely to waste their chance to win. In the last few seasons, Inter have never lost to Napoli and it is a record they need to maintain to take full points at home.

Anyway, this is an important match for both teams because for Inter, of course, this is the right moment to be able to return to the competition in the top four as well as to stop Napoli's progress. But of course, even though Inter are playing at home doesn't mean Inter will be easy to beat Napoli.
Even though so far Inter have looked very good at home when they played against Napoli, but at this moment it will clearly be a difficult job for Inter if they have to win full points.

Because Napoli is also of course a very good moment to get full points to keep away from competing teams, because with three points then of course it will be very good for Napoli to continue to strengthen its position at the top of the Serie A standings.
Therefore, this is a big match because apart from improving their position in the Serie A standings, there is also high prestige in this match, which of course keeps them motivated. That way too, any results are very open in this match whether it's winning and losing and also drawing because both of them are very clearly on a path that requires them to gain points in every match.

Tottenham are having bad times after the world cup break as they got only 1 point from 2 matches against weak teams, that's not looking good for this team and they seems close from losing the European promotion spot, now they have a complicated match next round against crystal balace and they must prepare well for it

Do you think Brentford and Aston Villa are weak teams that are easy to beat? With everything that has happened so far this season I honestly can never say Brentford and Aston Villa are weak teams, especially for Brentford who surprised at the start of the season by beating the big teams.
Also about Aston Villa, even though they are still not good enough and can't be consistent, Aston Villa really can't be underestimated and that's what I predicted before too.

So which, with this Tottenham defeat I don't think is too surprising but yes, maybe the surprise is only about the final score in this match. How is it that Tottenham can't score in this home match, and lucky for me not to bet on Tottenham and only bet on the total goals option.
Anyway, Tottenham has indeed become unconducive after the world cup break and of course Tottenham's position will probably continue to fall, considering Manchester United and Liverpool seem to have gotten better at this moment.
