What I was wondering is what Jose Mourinho would say about Paul Pogba. My full support for him truly,as I do believe he'll definitely get this sentence shortened or still pardoned you feel me?

Breaks my heart to see such a vibe in it's beautiful state sentenced already. Just as I've said today, there'll always be more stories to tell than to just completely believe about whatever has been said about Paul Pogba. I can't wait to hear Paul's part of the stories.
During the least stages .
Nobody would expect that kind of matters from  Paul Pogba..... I hope he be fine and comes out stronger from it.
Seems over for Paul Pogba career in football after suspending until four years later due doping cases and he will return back when his age over 34 years old, I don't think Pogba keep quit with suspended and he will appeal how to get reduce suspended over four years become one or two years because its hard for him.
I am so disappointed what happen with Paul Pogba because he most talent midfielder and won many titles since his professional career from domestic league trophies until success winning FIFA World Cup with his country France national team.
After his suspended releasing, Paul Pogba still not gives any confirmation will acceptable four years banned in football or he will appeal and get reduce suspended around one or two years later.

He has destroyed his own career and that's it. Pogba was stupid enough caused by he has already achieved everything and he still played at the top club in serie a but he destroyed it in a short time. The main problem pogba was not only destroying his future career too. It was also making him will not be used even by saudi pro league club too.
Pogba has lost his professionality and credibility after he has got so many problems. His arrogant behavior had pushed him to fall to the ground again. Pogba once again did shit to his career, but this is the end for his journey in the football.
Even toney which got less punishment has been also feeling it was impacting his life a lot. Pogna deserved it as he was also violating the rules too. He has got karma and it's the end of his journey in the football. Juventus can still performing very well without him.
Losing him meant nothing to the club. Pogba will not be known as a professional football player again. He will be known as a disaster for the juventus caused by his behavior as a player in the squad.

Bayern Munich were considered as one of best candidates to win Champions League after they purchased Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur until recent weeks they shown some terrible performances.

Arsenal have never been a good candidate to win Champions League and they are even far lower than Bayern Munich in tradition and quality. Porto won one Champions League with Jose Mourinho but Arsenal did not win any Champions League. They got a final match but lost to Barcelona.

The problem isn't about Harry Kane as well. Because he is currently the best performing player in the team. He has scored a lot of goals to help this team achieve titles. But he is still really unlucky about winning a league title.  Sad  Even at a team like Bayern Munich he has found the season in which Bayern Munich play worse as a team. The title streak in the Bundesliga is about to end.

Kane has become last minute hero against leipzig but his performance is still average. I can't say kane has increased his standard, but he keeps stuck in the same level like when he played at totenham. There was no significant improvement happened to him. Even though he had become a hero for bayern munich sometime but this didn't change the result if his performance was not so amazing like other bomber which is still staying in EPL like haaland. Kane was still feeling so difficult to play better, probably caused by he is still in the process learning the local language. Bayern is out of my list as a title contender caused by poor performance showed against lazio.

Winning UCL is not that easy compared with winning bundesliga title. The home game against lazio will be an easy game as long as bayern will not perform like when augburg beat it at allianz arena.

Arsenal are of course not one of number one contenders. They have a great scoring potential this season as you can see from their performance in the Premier League. But they are a very young team and it adds extra difficulty when it comes to winning a Champions League title. Consistency problems are seen clearly like in the Porto game.
I never ever put arsenal as favorite team to win UCL. The performance in the domestic league can't be used as data to measure the performance in UCL. The next game in emirates stadium will be another easy game for arsenal.
Im not putting this club as a strong contender to win UCL but seeing the positive trend that is still going on in emirate stadium made me feel arsenal will win the game with huge margins against porto.

did someone remember about endrick? This guy was attacker bought by madrid from palmeiras and he agreed to join in real madrid at the end of season but even before he came to the madrid but his career has already threatened by other player.
Ancellotti bought him from palmeiras to be developed as a striker but since we have seen rumor about mbappe will join in real madrid. It was threatening his career in real madrid, mbappe will also make endric won't get play time in the main squad like what he has imagined it before.
The come of mbappe is not only a good news for madrid but it's also another disaster for the young player like endrick which will try to develop his performance in real madrid.
Do you still remember how was Benzema journey in Real Madrid, he joined Real Madrid since 2009 but he able to show his performance in 2019. It's because Ronaldo and Bale performed really well, it make Benzema has no chance to compete with both of them. Endrick is also in similar position, he has no way to compete with Mbappe, Vini and Rodrygo, but if he don't mind become subs and willing to rotate to other positions, he will become a good player when those three players left Real Madrid.
Yes, i remember that and do you think endrick shall also wait a decade before he will able to show his performance like benzema? The most important thing if endrick was not benzema. You can compre him but these guys will have no same fate. Benzema could take a decade to reach a peak on his career as a football player, but endrick is still new and he can also possibly end like eden hazard as well.

The come of mbappe is not only a good news for madrid but it's also another disaster for the young player like endrick which will try to develop his performance in real madrid.

The competition in real madrid will be even strictier and im doubting the future of endrick in real madrid. The good thing is palmeiras still wants him to stay and it's not too late for endrick to change his mind. Endrick shall re-consider his decision to go to the real madrid.
Even though he moved to the one of major club in the world and it means nothing if he will never get time to play in the regular squad. He wanna improve his performance but it seemed to me that is impossible for endrick to compete with other great strikers.
He will have same fate as arda guler which was very often sitting on the bench.
I don't understand what you mean, so has Endrick actually been bought by Real Madrid or not? you said that Carlo Ancelotti had bought him from SE Palmeiras but you also said that it was not too late for Endrick to decide not to leave his club to join Real Madrid because there is a big possibility that Carlo Ancelotti will not use him to become a regular player. In my opinion there is no harm If Real Madrid bought him because he is still young, he is still developing if he is trained well. At the moment, it is too risky for Carlo Ancelotti to place a 17 year old player among the main players who has a lot of experience, because however, when his abilities are seen, Real Madrid will use him in the future.


While Endrick remains under pre agreement with real madrid, the club has come to an agreement to compensate the palmeiras with an estimated 60-70 million for his services. Due to this reason, Endrick still has an opportunity to terminate the pre-agreement with Real Madrid, provided he is willing to continue his stay at Palmeiras for an extended period.

Quote from: coinlocket$
Superb game for Haaland and De Bruyne yestarday.
The opponent was weak for sure but they did great.

They hare in hot state when it matters, for the final stage of the season and for the upcoming Champions league games.
Those two players are very good to Manchester city and they have brought so much favour to Manchester city and, what they displayed yesterday show that their absence during the injuries is what caused Manchester city to reduced points to this level they are now in the premier league table.

They were keys of manchester city to won everything last season. Pep is trying to repeat the same story again this season but things are going even harder for manchester city caused by some competitors which were performing so poorly last season have been comeback stronger. Haaland and de bruyne still become scary combination.
De bruyne is city's brain while haaland is executor. City's performance dropping a lot caused by those guys were injured but they are not so healthy to face any game. Luton has already destroyed by haaland the next match will be united that will get the same result as luton in the last match.
The only thing that can reduce the attacking line of city is playing passively to put all of the players in the penalty box like what chelsea did. MU will have no chance to win over manchester city if it will play openly. I demand ten hag to be replaced asap if he will force his club to play openly at etihad stadium.


I don't think they will win this trophy this season because, Liverpool and Arsenal have show some improvement that will make Manchester city not to repeat what happened last season in this season, even though Erling Haaland and De Bruyne play the tournament through out.
They are still having the same chances. Nobody able to predict the result accurately but their mentality will be fully tested. A very strict competition is happening now and neither of them were dominating it but im sure the winner will be between liverpool or manchester city.
Arsenal's mentality is still weak enough and it's not even good enough to pick this as a favorite club to win EPL. My choices will be on liverpool or manchester city. These clubs have a winning mentality and im sure the winner will be between these clubs.

Tomorrow Al-Wehda vs Al-Taawoun team will enter the field to play in Saudi Professional League. It is difficult for me to predict which team will win the match between these two teams. But I will bet for Al-Wehda team in this match.  .I know Al-Wehda team is far behind in the points table.

How can it be a difficult match to predict? don't you even see the current standing? Tawoun is far better compared to the al wehda. I think that betting on taawoun will be very profitable compared to the al wehda. This is one of easist match to predict in the upcoming matchday.
Wehda is still performing inconsistently and i think this will be last long. Taawoun needs to secure three points to defend its position. It's clear majority of bettors would pick taawoun instead of wehda caused by the current standing tell us more than what we needed to define the winner from this match.

When Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad each achieved their victory in week 22, this certainly made Al-Nassr very jealous and wanted to immediately achieve their victory again. At the beginning of March, Al-Nassr will host Al-Hazm and of course this is not a difficult match for Al-Nassr. Moreover, Luis Castro's squad is currently on fire and is still undefeated so far in various competitions.
Holy moly!I don't even need to make analysis for this match caused by the winner is obvious al nassr. How can a club that was rarely getting three points against entire clubs able to win against al nassr? Hazm was the worst club in the saudi pro league club.
Eve al nassr got less than 1.1 odds for this game, the actual odds is around 1.09 and it means that if bookies really confident to predict nassr to win the game soon. EZ money for us bure it's only worthy enough when we are betting big amounts of money for this match.

The risk is also still the same. Al nassr is still on fire and it keeps win any games till now. A mediocre club like hazm is too good to be true even to get draw with al nassr.


I think Ronaldo and his friends will never stop scoring goals and adding to their 3 points in the standings and even though they know the competition to win the title this season is very tough, at least they are not giving up at all or accepting the results voluntarily. Like other elite Saudi league teams, Al-Nassr will continue to fight to finish in the highest place and they cannot miss a win regardless of their opponent.
True and ronaldo has target to become the top scorer this season. Its competitors are getting closer when ronaldo absent for a few weeks because of the injury. Al nassr will be completely destroying the worst club in the SPL this season. Zero chance for hazm to win this game.
The game probably end with 4-0 al nassr win. Im not even trusting al hazm for this. It's caused by the club is still performing so poorly probably till the end of seaosn.

Bettors have no reason to pick al hazm except the stupidest bettors who are willing to put their money into 99% risk to lose it.

Napoli have only managed to score one goal in their last five away matches... Sassuolo score at home all the time... I would not say that the level of these clubs is very different now, Napoli have a lot of problems and it is not the same Napoli that was last season... I made a risky bet that Sassuolo will not lose...
It is possible that Sassuolo will not lose at home in today's match against Napoli, but I also think that Napoli still has the determination to win at Sassuolo's home today in order to take Lazio's position in the top eight of the standings. However, Napoli fans certainly really hope that Napoli will no longer face big problems themselves for now because it would be a shame if Napoli had to keep losing and could potentially be outside the top ten at the end of this season.

Im seeing both of clubs have equal chances in this match. These clubs have their own benefits in this match, sassuolu played at home while napoli has a better squad compared to sassuolo. So, it's quite hard to predict which team that will be owning the game. In term of quality from the players and i would bet on napoli but playing at home will be enough in boosting the performance from napoli too. It means that if we draw is also possible to happen. Im not really impressed with the performance from napoli after spalletti left. The new coaches have not given any impact to the performances from the club.

Even osimhen and kvarat lost their best form so fast. it's dilemma to pick which club that would be winning the game. I have some predictions regarding this match.

1. Draw will become the result of this game. I consider that the advantages owned by those clubs will give them the same benefits.
2. Double chance napoli win and draw. This is not a risky choice, but it offers fewer odds compared to the total over
3. Totel over 2, the game is likely ended with 2-0 or 2-1

I will take one of those options. Im sure that napoli will win with narrow scores.

I don't really underestimate sassuolo in this match caused by i know playing at home sometimes can give you a new mentality to face your opponent. It's caused by the support from all of your fans make you even stronger than before.
So, that's why i called that sassuolo wil be a tough opponent for napoli soon. Osimhen and kvarat were really underperform.

It is not about which team to choose but more like which team would be paying you the most. I believe that Mahrez accepted the offer because he believes that that's where he would get the most money and that's why he accepted that offer.

I understand that it may not sound great because it is not a great club but at the same time we are talking about a situation where they are doing much better thanks to him, so he is getting paid for the money that he earns. That's the type of thing that most people deserve and want, which should be fine. I believe that it is going to be handling it very well, and he should be proud of what he is doing in most cases as well. This is of course just a thought and maybe he just accepted money and nothing more.
Betting on SPL clubs doesn't seem difficult compared to European clubs that are unpredicted in matches, the scenario where elite teams loses points against mediocre clubs. We believe that European players that accepted the offer to join these SPL clubs are only playing for the gigantic salaries they're paid. Riyad Mahrez was an important player under Pep Guardiola and he was enjoying game full-time there, what made him lose interest and decides to join SPL club? Not only him but most of these key players have made the move.

It's not true at all. Basically, if you were betting on the top tier club in any league and the chance for you to get a reward for your money is far bigger rather than bet on the match between clubs that have equal performance. You seem to feel it as easy bet caused by you took the top clubs as your bet.
Things are very different when you are taking non strong club to bet. It feels more difficult to predict, let's assume you were alwasy taking al hilal as your bet in any week since early season and you do generate a lot of money from your bet.
Then try to consistently picking the match which involving two middle tier clubs. You will be feeling so different with it. Mostly of matches dominated by elite team int he saudi pro league. It's caused by the gap is too big between big and small clubs.
You can make a comparison to these clubs. Let's compare al nassr with a club like al shabab. So, you can know that if the gap is too big for al shabab to compete with al nassr. It makes betting on this league much easier. Tihs kinda different when you were picking a match between two equal clubs.
It gives you different impression.

Yeah it's almost certain that Real Madrid will win the title because we didn't find any scenario that would prevent Real Madrid from collecting points, how do we expect Real Madrid to lose in the next 3 matches meanwhile, so far Real Madrid has only lost once in 26 matches. Barcelona is just fighting for 2nd place and they need 3 points to get rid of Girona. Previously I wasn't sure Barcelona could reach the top 2 but luck was on their side when Girona as the main competitor got bad results and Girona missed 8 points 2 lost 1 draw. In 4th place is Atletico Madrid and Athletic club continues to approach them with only 3 points adrift therefore Atletico Madrid must be more careful if they want to stay in the top 4
The journey of this match is still quite far, and there is still potential for Girona to take the top position because the difference in points between Girona and Real Madrid is still very small. In contrast, when Real Madrid's points are more than 20 points ahead, it is certain that Real Madrid will win this season.

Girona had lose their chances to win the league the day they lose heavily to Real Madrid. Madrid really shown them that day that they aren't mate. Real Madrid has already won this league title.

Totally wrong, have you done a proper calculation here? Im considering that now girona has 6 points gap to the real madrid and i expect a small chance is still there for girona to surpass madrid. Did you remember the story about manchester city which was surpassing arsenal in short time? That story can also happen in la liga too.
Assuming there are still 12 matches day remaining at this time and it will be 12x3 = 36 potential points that can still be farmed for whole of la liga clubs. So, expecting real madrid to lose two matches in a row and it's still possible.

Girona needs only to see madrid missing 2 matches which means only 16.6666% from the total match available till the end of season. The chance is still big enough for girona and madrid is under pressure caused by missing three points will make madrid close to the losing la liga title.
The competition is just getting even more difficult for madrid with hard fixtures have been awaiting for this club at the end of season. Girona will have easier fixtures compared to the real madrid. The chance is still there for girona to get la liga.

Girona shall not bottle the next game. Girona will have lesser chance if it will miss three points.

Many star players who play in Europe when playing in the Saudi Arabian league do not feel at home. certainly Jordan Henderson came out and moved to ajax amsterdam.
While Karem Benzema has given a statement that he does not feel at home in the Saudi Arabian league but no club has recruited him in the winter transfer market or January transfer windows. maybe Kevin can consider that before really moving to the Saudi Arabian league.
Kelvin De Bruyne is another player that's on the list for players that are been sorted out by SPL clubs, they're financially buoyant and in position to make these signings crucial. However Kelvin De Bruyne is important for his club where he's useful and resourceful for Pep Guardiola. The European league comes with outstanding players and tougher leagues. It takes only the best teams to maintain such high level of football. As for the Asian teams, Saudi Arabia clubs puts eyes on the brilliant players in Europe. They thoroughly do their scouts and measuring the basis of their targeted players.
De bruyne has already snubs saudi pro league club's offer and in addition guardiola has hoped him to retire on manchester city. So, this is a good news and im sure management will be cosidering to offer long term contract to the de bruyne again soon.
https://global.espn.com/football/story/_/id/39604363/i-want-de-bruyne-finish-career-man-city-guardiola
The better for you to read the news above and it makes it clear if de bruyne will not leave from the club. yet de bruyne has not become the only one targeted by saudi pro league. We have another players too like salah and casemiro.

Quote
The 32-year-old Belgium international is being targeted, along with two other Premier League stars, to help improve the profile of the Saudi Pro League. New attempts to land Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah, 31, are expected to take place, while 32-year-old Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has emerged as another option.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39585866/transfer-talk-kevin-de-bruyne-becomes-priority-saudi-pro-league

As you can see that above if de bruyne and some players have been putting as the priority target to be recruited by saudi pro league club. It's clear saudi will try to hard in getting him but the only way to prevent him to leave from city by offering him a new contract.
This will be also making the situation can happen soon. Saudi will try to pursuit salah and casemiro as another target. Let's see how they will give reaction tot he saudi's offers but im sure they were not interested to join in saudi pro league.

De bruyne and salah have been reaching the peak performance and they will be thinking so hard to stay rather than leave.

It's strange to see that Real Madrid have failed to win twice this season against Vallecano, while Girona have beaten Vallecano twice this season. Grin
It's a common thing in the football. Madrid failed to won against the small club but it was able winning against girona. So, there's nothing special from this moment. This is caused by we can't really sure whether the club was on the good condition when it was also faced the mediocre club as well.
I remind you that madrid was always destroying girona which means it's still stronger compared to the girona right now.

I think Real Madrid must learn from Girona to be able to beat Vallencano and in fact it is no longer a public secret that Vallecano will not be able to win against this team. However, if Real Madrid were wiser in securing victory, the point difference from Girona would certainly be much greater than now.
There's nothing to learn. Madrid was not even lose nor win against vallecano but it was getting draw. There's nothing to worry about that. It was disappointed to see madrid missed three points from rayo but this is already an old story. We must move on. There will be a lot of important games to come soon.

Girona's victory with 3 goals without reply against Vallecano also had the impact of returning to second place in the standings and shifting Barcelona. I think Girona is still not finished competing for second place in the standings and they will continue to try to fight other strong competitors such as Barcelona and Atletico to get this place. But if Real Madrid stops winning the La Liga title, it will be too late this season because Real Madrid doesn't want to lose points like before.
Who knows if girona will be bottling the upcoming game? Girona can still lose the game. The competition between girona and barcelona are very strict right now. They are still competing for the la liga trophy. UCL spots have been secured by girona, real madrid and barcelona. The last one is still owning by atletico madrid but it must compete with the club below it as the gap is small though.

I have heard De Bruyne has some interest in him from Saudi Arabia. Manchester City are said to have set a price tag worth 100 million pounds for him if it is really true though.  Huh

But it wouldn't be surprising if it is either. Because De Bruyne is currently one of the best performing players in Europe. He is 32 years old maybe but it doesn't affect his performance negatively even a bit. He surely deserves to be priced at this level while there is a huge increase in every player's worth these days.  Smiley  Manchester City simply don't want to let him go. I think there would be a Saudi Arabia team to make an offer anyway. But would De Bruyne accept it?

I also heard about the news from Kevin De Bruyne that he is going to move to Saudi Arabia, he even had offers from this league during last summer and they wanted to hire this player for a huge amount of money from Manchester City. But we all know Kevin De Bruyne is a key player in the team and they are not going to let him leave easily. That's why they asked for 130 million euros from any team they want to hire this Belgian player from Macnshter City which can make it completely impossible for the Saudi teams to hire De Bruyne from Manchester City.


 
This is still just a rumor because Kevin has not yet given a clear statement regarding his future, he has 1 season left on his contract at Man City and it seem like Man City still wants to keep this intelligent midfielder by extending his contract again. To be honest at his current age it is already a matter of course for him Bruyne to determine his future while Saudi Arabia is willing to offer him because it could be that when he gets older the Saudi team will not be interested in him, especially if they find out that his performance is decreasing, but yes, this is a difficult decision for De Bruyne and the team because after all, he is a player who is very reliable. by Pep to help other strikers create goals and his contribution to the team so far has been very good, that why Man City charges quite a high price for this key player which makes it difficult for other teams to buy him, but not for Saudi Arabia, knowing that the Saudi league is a very rich league.

Many star players who play in Europe when playing in the Saudi Arabian league do not feel at home. certainly Jordan Henderson came out and moved to ajax amsterdam.
While Karem Benzema has given a statement that he does not feel at home in the Saudi Arabian league but no club has recruited him in the winter transfer market or January transfer windows. maybe Kevin can consider that before really moving to the Saudi Arabian league.

Regarding benzema's case and i can agree and disagree with it. He said that if he feels saudi is not proper enough to be his new home but he is still playing at ittihad. So, can we assume if he forces himself to keep play on ittihad? Maybe yes maybe not.
Quote
There was interest in the 32-year-old last summer and he is back on the agenda for Saudi clubs ahead of the next window.

"It's a question for him, I'd love him to stay but I don't know," Guardiola said.

"I heard some links but I don't know if there's an offer, I don't know if Saudi Arabia wants him. I would love him to stay until the end of his career, but everyone is everyone."
Source

A green light has showed by pep guardiola caused by he knew that de bruyne has become a very important player in city. It means guardiola hopes him to stay and finish his career as a footballer in man city but the final decision totally on de bruyne itself.
It sounds impossible for de bruyne to leave from a club that makes his name big, i remember the time when chelsea sold him but city was slowly developing him.

Liverpool are still at the top of the standings with 60 points but now they will not be able to maintain the top of the standings safely because Manchester City have also bagged more wins with total of 59 points, their difference is only 1 point and this is very possible for shift to occur at any time.
If Liverpool really make mistake that causes defeat then they will definitely go down if Manchester City continues to win and can get full points in every match.

You're right, I don't think Liverpool will be able to hold onto the top spot in the standings with the players they have available, if their injured players don't return in a few weeks. Manchester city currently with 59 points, Manchester City and Liverpool are separated with one point, which is not safety for Liverpool. However, it's not as though they can only lose their position to Manchester City, if Liverpool lose any of their games, Arsenal will pass them in the standings. We all know how strong Arsenal is right now they can defeat any Premier League team. I think Klopp should hope that Mohamed Salah with the other key players can return as soon as possible. Because their absence will effect their performance.
I said earlier that Liverpool can't stay at the top of the Premier League table for long with their current squad. If Liverpool's injured players are not yet back before Liverpool finishes playing their next three matches in the league, either Manchester City or Arsenal will be at the top of the Premier League table.

Everything you wrote could be said about Man City or Arsenal... Now they have roughly the same opportunities to top the standings... Based on last season's experience, Man City are probably the most stable of these clubs... Last season they easily moved Arsenal away... Perhaps this time they will repeat it with Liverpool...

It may not only liverpool but city may repeat it with liverpool and arsenal. Arsenal bottled EPL trophy last season and it was also making arsenal had very bad record as a team with horrible performance at the end of season. 33 winstreak with 91% win rates but trophyless. Is there even a worst thing than it?
It can also happen to the liverpool and arsenal again. City looked like weak enough this time coz the fact it's always winning with narrow scores in the last game. Perhaps guardiola is still saving some weapons to be used at the end of season.

It's hard to predict which club that is going to winning the game soon. Im feeling that city will pass liverpool/arsenal that probably lead the game till the end of season. It's only a matter of time till city to fiip the card back again.
The history has recorded how city was always doing this thing many time to surpass its rival at the end of season. We can kindly wait for the result from this very strict competition.

Bookies are still favoring city.



I would like to pick city to defend its EPL trophy. Liverpool and arsenal are very consistent but the mentality will be also defining which club that will win EPL.

Juventus can be said to have failed to compete with Inter Milan to win the Scudetto this season, with the point difference that has already been established, it is very logical to say that Allegri squad can only finish as runners up in the standings. However, Juventus is not a bad team, several cases involving the team and its players have meant that Allegri has limited options, his rotation options are lacking because Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli have received sanctions. Therefore, even though they had gained momentum to form a competition with Inter Milan at the top of the standings, Juventus has now experienced a setback which has put them out of the hunt for the Scudetto. In my opinion, only a miracle can bring Juventus up to first place in the Serie A standings, Inter Milan is still showing stable consistency even though they have more matches scheduled.

The match against frosinone has been helping allegri to create a new history in serie a. He has become the first coach that has reached 1000 point mark.

Quote
Massimiliano Allegri has become the first coach in the history of Serie A to reach the 1 000-point mark, with his current league record including 301 wins, 99 draws and 96 defeats.

Only two weeks have passed since Coach Allegri reached second on the list of all-time appearances on the bench by a Juventus coach - 405 - level with Marcello Lippi and behind only Giovanni Trapattoni, in first place at 596.

https://www.juventus.com/en/news/articles/massimiliano-allegri-makes-serie-a-history

Firstly, that's an amazing result from allegri, he has also very good stats caused by his draw far more compared to his defeats in serie a.



Talking about juventus if it was not performing quite better during the game and why?



The statistic from the game showed that if juventus made so many inaccurated shoots and this must be reduced in the upcoming match. This is only wasting the energy from the players. Im concerning about the total shot on target made by juventus. Theorically, frosinone was ez opponent for juventus but it was making juventus struggle to get three points.
Considering 9 points gap owned by juventus will be a bit harder to stick into the intermilan. Im always concerning about the defensive lines and attacking lines of juventus.

Seeing it was conceding a few goals made me believe the defenders were facing trouble to prevent frosinone from scoring. If we are seeing it from the result and that's good enough for juventus to get three points, but this is very different when we are seeing it from the different perspective.
Juventus has been lowering its standard in this game. I meant conceded two goals against a weak club in serie a,. That's not something good to hear.

Arsenal have done it again,flogging Newcastle 4:1 in a game that I thought was going to be very tough.Arsenal dominated the game through out the match,but in the late hours of the match,Joe Willock was able to break the deadlock of not scoring at Emirates stadium for about a decade.The game ended 4:1 in favour of Arsenal,and I believe this one must be a boost of confidence to the Gunners whom suffered defeat in Champions league against FC Porto.The gunners now seat one point behind City and two points behind Liverpool,so the three horse title race is still very active.
The UEFA Champions League competition is the main target for Mikel Arteta. His side dropped points against Porto Fc in the first leg of round of 16. Gunners will hosts Porto at Emirate stadium in the second leg, we know what to expects because they will exerts all energy on their opposition. Arsenal keep passing the tough tests this season. The games we all thought will bring them back, surprisely to see Gunners hitting more goals than expected. Arsenal are back to winning ways and they're not holding down, but bringing on their most effective performance.

I think that the main target of him was not UCL spot anymore. Arsenal has been bottling last season's trophy caused by their stupid mistakes. So, the club needs to get trophy this season and this has become its main target. Arsenal must be performing even better compared to the last season caused by it needs to win the trophy.
It will be so damn bad if arsenal will keep to bottling it. it feels like that the club must be able to perform better compared to the last season. I think that the mission to beat porto when it was playing at home was not so difficult to be executed by arsenal. Im concerning about the performance from the club.
It seems that Arsenal has a knack for effortlessly defeating their opponents, and I anticipate this trend will persist throughout the remainder of the season. Arsenal is very strong, but it still needs to be very careful with it. Arsenal shall also be awre if porto potentially to force the result to be draw.

Arsenal needs to anticipate this too. It's caused by the club must have able to qualified to the further stage or the fans will be booing this club again. Arteta is having another chance to help the club to perform better.
Im hoping hewill not be bottling his target again. Arsenal needs to perform even better compared to the last season. The main mission to beat porto at home. This is gonna be ez task for arsenal.

Arsenal lost the trophy in the last season but they are not going to lose the opportunity they have in this season easily. Mikel Arteta is not more experienced than last season and the team has improved more than last season, Arsenal won the game against Newcastle with a 4-1 result while this game was not an easy game for Arsenal and Newcastle had a good performance in the games we saw from them.
Newcastle was shocked at the start of the game started by the own goal by Sven Botman and they couldn't do anything until the last minutes of the game.



In fact, we would not be wrong if we say that Newcastle could not show up in the match. In the match, Arsenal was winning 4-0 and with the goal conceded in the last minutes, the match ended 4-1. With this defeat, Newcastle United suffered a heavy defeat in the league on their way to qualifying for the European cups. Arsenal now has a big advantage. There is only a 2 point difference between them and the leader. With a little luck, they might take the lead again.
I won't count a goal scored by newcastle. Arsenal is still performing so stable while newcaslte gets another disaster to the performance. It is a familiar sight to observe a fresh start that initially shows promise, only to gradually lose its luster and decline as the season progresses. Eddie howe has become the fundamental problem owned by the club.
It's pathetic to imagine that how a club with unlimited money still could not building a proper club. I was also surprised by seeing howe's statement caused by him was only making another excuse for this loss. I can't find any positives in the newcastle after arsenal's match.

Some reasons newcastle performed so poorly in this game.

Wasteful guimaraes
Some injured players which are very important for the club
garbage coach

Newcastle needs to do overhaul to the club. It can be started from overhauling the coach and players just like recruiting a new coach that can build the club properly. The first thing that i wanted to see from newcastle is sacking howe and replace him with a world class coach like pep or klopp. Probably mourinho is good enough for this job.
Hope PIF as owner of newcastle can consider this. The fans shall have tried to make a petition to sue newcastle to replace the current coach which is so bad for the club. The poor statistic has been consistently showed by newcastle from time to the another time.

I strongly agree with a very well analyzation explained by this journalist

https://www.football365.com/news/opinion-16-conclusions-arsenal-newcastle-jorginho-guimaraes-rice-arteta-howe

From what i have watched if karius must be complainted caused by he was performing so lazy in that game. I saw that as a complete revenge for newcastle which was battering arsenal at the first leg in the st james park.
The positive vibes showed by arsenal which is fully ready to face the match against porto.

Bayern Munich was unable to win the first leg against Lazio due to their incompetence and weakness throughout the preceding week. The Bavarians ventured on a three-game losing streak, indicating catastrophic results for the team. Bayern Munich is returning stronger than ever, and this time they have no choice but to eliminate their opponents; they have enormous winnings. While Lazio is having one of its most dire seasons, they lost points in their previous game, but they aren't concerned because they are only competent at one thing: defensive tactics against Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich scored a first goal in that match and created some more opportunities to expand goal difference to 2 - 0 but they wasted all chances including a terrible shot over the cross bar by Harry Kane. If Kane scores in that situation, Bayern Munich even can win big. Then the red card of Upamecano changed all and Lazio after the equalizer, had some chances to win at home.

Bayern Munich luckily to end it as a draw and came back home to host Lazio without disadvantage from a first leg. To beat Lazio, their attacking players must sharpen their finishing skills and make more accurate shots.

Bayern has only created 4 chances and it's only given two goals. It means that if leipzig has been making more shot on target compared to the bayern. That's fine to see that bayern was missing a golden opportunity to score as many as possible. I think that we shall also aware if bayern successfully got three points from leipzig which is good.
The result from the big match is not that important as long as bayern was winning the game. kane has scored two goals. The last goal was coming during injury time and that's helping bayern to get three points. Bayern is not playing structured and there have been many inaccurate shoots made by bayern.

This club is playing so terribly and it's not the same as bayern's gameplay last season when naglesmann was still there. Tuchel has been changing the club a lot. A half of season tuchle stayed on bayern but no progress at all.

It is a Fact that Luis Enrique is Already starting to Play without Mbappé , and that is something that I had not imagined , Without Mbappé how the Team reacts.

Life must go on my friend. Mbappe can't only stay on his comfort zone and the club must also accept the fact if mbappe will be leaving from there soon. Mbappe has a dream that needs to be achieved and it was winning all of trophies. The only chance for him to get UCL by joining in the real madrid as the strongest club in the world.
Enrique has stated that if mbappe was one of his important player but it will not even change the fact that if mbappe is still contributing a lot to the club till this time. Mbappe needs to find his best and he must be able to leave from there.

It is my belief that there will always be people who are at odds with his decisions, but I view it as a commonplace phenomenon in the present era. We will always be seeing people who like or dislike us. So, mbappe must leave from PSG caused by his career was always stuck in the same place.
He needs to make a new progress to push his performance. im hoping that everything will be fine for him. There were so much success story happened in the football for a player that took a big risk to leave from his comfort zone.

Just like when kyle walker left from totenham. Many people were disappointed it but he was able getting so many trophies in city. So, this proves that if we needs to chase our dream.

Quote from: Hirose UK
Liverpool are still at the top of the standings with 60 points but now they will not be able to maintain the top of the standings safely because Manchester City have also bagged more wins with total of 59 points, their difference is only 1 point and this is very possible for shift to occur at any time.

Liverpool are doing well in this season, and despite the challenges they are experiencing from some of their players that are into injury they still performed wonders to defeated Chelsea to embrace the title without those players part of the match. I know that Liverpool will not win this premier league title, based on some of the things their players displayed in that final with Chelsea and they won that title with luck because Chelsea stopped them not to defeat them easily as before, and it took Liverpool more than 90 minutes before they succeeded to achieved the victory from Chelsea. I think, it's time for Manchester city to take back that position from Liverpool because all their players are fully on ground to do that and to maintain the first position till the end of the tournament.
Liverpool played that match against Chelsea with almost theur second eleven. I know that Chelsea supporters might feel bad about my statement but it is what it is. You already confirmed the level of damage injury has done to Liverpool and that is nothing but the truth. There is a chance that injuries can truly distort Liverpool's chances of winning the league because the situation at the league now is very complicated with just a single point separating the top teams. Any mistake of losing a match now will be catastrophic especially now that there are only twelve matches left to end the season. My personal opinion is going towards Arsenal winning the league because they have demonstrating consistency lately more than any team Manchester City that is finding it difficult scoring goals now. 

So true. I do aware of this too caused by liverpool was missing a lot of players. It's started with TAA, Nunez, salah and many more. Liverpool were losing around 5 or 6 players in total against chelsea. Surprisingly chelsea is still having no improvements compared to the previous match against liverpool.
Even though chelsea was playing defensively but it was not able maximizing the chance to get the trophy this season. It's a very disappointed result for all of chelsea fans caused by they are all hoping to see their favorite chels to get even EFL trophy. Winning garbage trophy is far better rather than being trophy less.
chelsea never made any improvements since todd boehley was coming to the club. What he has done was just hurting the performance from chelsea. Im also aware if there must be a revolution to be made by the club.

It's starting with recruiting a good coach like xabi alonso then club must also have a good striker too. Nkuku was able playing perfectly in the bundesliga but yeah this is EPL which is far harder compared to the bundesliga. This is why he was rarely scoring but very often in getting injury.
Chelsea has so many unsolved problems and the main problem is how bad the strikers owned by chelsea. They are being toothless and this is also putting chelsea into the problems.

There are also many selfish players in the club as well. Todd needs to get a coach who can change the club a lot. I think that another mistake from pochetttino can't be tolerated but yeah we must not only blame him but whole of players too.
They were incompetence and they were so wasteful.

The result I think puts Barcelona in better position than their opponents to progress to the next round of the competition because the second leg of the encounter will be played at the famous Camp Nou. Barcelona as we all know always gets good results whenever they're playing a home game in the UEFA Champions League and when they face Napoli for the second leg of the tie, I will be banking on Xavi Hernandez's men to win that particular game and progress to the next round of the competition.
The first leg match draw result make Barcelona on advantage position for second leg match will play in the home, the last domestic match winner over Getafe is seems how confidence with Barcelona and never give points for the away team. Personally qualifying from 16 of round is one challenge for Barcelona and Xavi Hernandez since last two years never success qualifying to quarter final.
Napoli had bad performed in last several matches and must take well by Barcelona for winning on second leg match, Napoli failed for winning last three matches in a row on domestic league and their position not better well in Serie A current standings.

Its great moment for Barcelona for winning second leg match, not matter for winning with one goal margin is enough to make Barcelona lead to quarter final since last two season failed in group stage.


So true, this makes the thing becomes much easier than before for barcelona. The fact that if napoli will be on disadvantage and club must think which best strategy to face barcelona away. I see no chance for napoli to win the game when it will be playing openly. I think that the strategy doesn't matter a lot and this is also making the situation becomes better than before.
Napoli needs to go through defensive straetgy against barcelona. This is the only best strategy that can be used to fight against it. Barcelona was in disadvantage if napoli will be using parking bus strategy. it's quite clear that if this match is gonna be one of hottest match in UCL.

Barcelona is still performing so crazily but the club may be able performing even better compared to the last season. Barcelona has a very big chance to qualify even when it will be only winning with narrow score against napoli. Shit must not be going on for barcelona caused by this club needs to get additional fund.
Napoli needs to perform even better than before. The club must have used a parking bus like intermilan which was successflly destroying barcelona. Barcelona's weakness can be identified easily caused by we do remember that xavi used same philo like when he was still a player.

I hope that napoli will not be stupid enough to play against barcelona openly. The players must not be so stubbord and napoli needs to increase its chance to win the game by playing low block.
