In 2012, 2013 and 2014 we saw domination of Juventus. And they consistently won the title by dominating every desert. But after that they lost the truck. They are no longer able to win titles. After Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus we thought we would see Juventus dominate again. And they will do well in Champions League too. But this is not the case. Qualifying for the Champions League has been difficult for Juventus in the last few seasons. Juventus had a chance to win the title if they had played well from the start of this season.
But Napoli have been in great form this season. They are still unbeaten this season. They probably only drew two matches. If no accident happens, Napoli will win the Serie A title this season.
Juventus isn't the Juventus I knew back many years ago, even when Ronaldo moved to the club I expected to see a massive change and boost in performance but it seemed like nothing changed and they remained the same. This season feels like Napoli's season and they are already bossing it in the league so far with an unbeaten run until Christmas, they have been outstanding and look very focused and determined. Could this be the end of Juventus' dominance or is it just a break for Juventus before they get back to dominating again every season.

In fact, Juventus' dominance has been broken from two seasons ago because Juventus also did not win the title in the last two seasons, so Juventus is still in a long process to regain its best form. However, with Juventus at the start of the season it was very worrying because of the very poor performance, but in the end we saw Juventus back into the top four right before the season break.
Now, Juventus has a gap of 10 points with Napoli and I think that gap is still possible for Juventus to catch up.

But yes, it's not easy but we don't know what will happen, and if Juventus can come back better after the break then Juventus will continue to make the gap with Napoli even closer.
Because, although Napoli are unbeaten so far, but Napoli also did not get a complete win. Therefore, Napoli still has concerns about losing points and or just sharing points in the next few matches.

Winning the La Liga title is still very possible for Barcelona as long as their best form and form is not lost in a match that is still a long way to go. But I see that Barcelona is not so burdened against teams other than Real Madrid, because Barcelona still needs to beat Real Madrid next year so that Barcelona's points are not easily overtaken by Real Madrid. Because everyone also knows that Real Madrid is a strong team and Barcelona counts greatly in every season, including this season.
I'm not talking about the title this season for Barcelona, ​​but they are looking good at the moment as a contender. I'm glad there's optimism about Barcelona this season among the fans, but to win Laliga then Barcelona really have to be better than now.
Indeed, Xavi has the best squad this season. Barcelona is strong in defense and good in attack. But things like this can change quickly when Barcelona lose several key players in important matches. The first El Clasico was won by Real Madrid, and I think Barcelona should win the second El Clasico to keep its chances over Real Madrid.
We has seen Barcelona now much better than before and having surpassed Real Madrid as a strong contender, fans of course have about the belief that their team can win trophies this season but we know it will be tough as well.
For me, El Clasico is still too far away so Barcelona can prepare ahead of time for it, I certainly expect another crucial match for El Clasico but they don't just focus on El Clasico, look at the team that we didn't expect to beat them and still don't assume only Real Madrid against one is tough while other teams can also boomerang for Barcelona.

Almost every team has played 14 matches. And now the Barcelona team is 2 points ahead of Real Madrid. and are at the top of the points table. But it is too early to predict which team will win the title. Because each team will still play 24 more matches. And at the same time, there is a long break due to the World Cup. The World Cup has many players prone to injury. Moreover, it is not yet certain whether the performance of the teams will remain stable after the World Cup. After the World Cup break, the team that can maintain the stability of their performance will win the title. And so Madrid and Barcelona still have equal chances of winning the title.

Anyway, Barcelona this season is clearly very good in La Liga because Barcelona are also the only team that has conceded only a few goals so far. Therefore, Barcelona are indeed better this season but unfortunately, such good performances only occur in La Liga.
Also, the El Clasico match is not a benchmark to determine which team will win the title because even, in the previous season, Barcelona could beat Real Madrid in the El Clasico match. But Real Madrid is still the team that won the title, so yes, I'm sure the El Clasico match is not a guarantee that the team that wins the El Clasico match will win the title.

But if we only consider the performance so far in La Liga then obviously, for me Barcelona have a better chance of winning the title. But that doesn't mean Real Madrid has lost its chance because after all, Real Madrid and Barcelona are two teams that continue to compete in the hunt for the La Liga title from season to season.

One of them is Sadio Mané, the sharper Bayern München attack line, with the presence of Sadio Mané does not mean only Sadio Mané, but on the back line Bayern München has a young defender Matthijs de Ligt who was brought in last summer from Juventus, of course it will strengthen Bayern's defense. München, when hosting PSG, of course this will be a life and death battle for the two Clubs, according to my prediction there will be an extra time for the two clubs, because the strength of the two clubs is really difficult to predict, but I believe that there will be an extra time for this match...
If we see Bayern Munich forward line seems this interesting to watched because they were quite different this season that after Lewandowski left their striker looks had equal quality and this proven from their goals amount that besides Sadio Mane there were some of strikers who collected more than 10 goals such as Leroy Sane or Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and this also good advantages to Bayern Munich because unlike PSG who only rely on their trio Mbappe, Neymar and Messi as goals machine but Bayern can playing with different of players on striker position so this makes Bayern strength will be more unpredictable so PSG should be aware to this statistics

One thing is sure and that is this is like a pre time final,if these two teams were in the final I think we would all enjoy this game because of the great players each team has.However I think that Bayern is slightly favored as I saw a couple of games of PSG and especially against Benfica in Benfica home they struggled a lot and barely managed to get a draw there.I am sure if Bayern was there they would have won against Benfica even in Benfica home and this for me is a good although not a 100% indicator that Bayern form is better than that of PSG right now.

There are still two more names besides those mentioned by @bering as Bayern Munich's goal machine so far this season, and he is Serge Gnabry. In fact, there is a young Bayern Munich midfielder who has a very good goal total too, and is not inferior to the Bayern Munich striker and that midfielder is Jamal Musiala at the age of 19.
I think this is very interesting, because if we add up the overall goals scored by Bayern Munich players so far this season in all competitions, in fact Jamal Musiala is the current Bayern Munich player who has the most goals.

It looks like Bayern Munich are looking to be a very different team this season, as they no longer rely on one player to score goals. With several players who are prolific in scoring goals, then of course it will make it difficult for opponents to close all of Bayern Munich's goal machines.
Therefore, I also agree that Bayern Munich still has a better chance of winning against PSG.

Well, to be honest, between all the teams in Serie A I could never predict to see Napoli at the top of the ranking table while there are teams like Juventus and Ac Milan. Serie A is a League where you can see less space between the team's performance and if I wanted to bet on a team there I would have limited options for each season.
For example as far as we can see Napoli got 41 points so far and they are the only team they never had a loss this season.

Yes indeed, I also don't think that Napoli will be the best so far this season. Because with Napoli being able to stay at the top of the standings until half of the season, and being the only team that is unbeaten in Serie A, of course Napoli is the best team at this moment.
Because if we consider the previous few seasons, Napoli is indeed a team that has the chance to be able to compete in the title race. But from season to season Napoli's performance has not been consistent throughout the season, in the previous several seasons.

This could also be a concern for Napoli for the rest of the season, as teams like Milan, Juventus and Inter are slowly getting back into their best form.
If Napoli returns to a declining performance after the break, then of course the teams below Napoli still have a chance to catch Napoli at the top of the standings. Although indeed, Napoli at this moment have enough capital because they have a fairly safe points gap, but this is still not a complete guarantee.

Therefore, the Serie A competition in the title race after the season break will become more interesting.
Because we are also curious whether Napoli will repeat the same mistakes as in previous seasons or indeed, this season will be a good season for Napoli.
Interesting to look forward to!

Business in football of course plays an important role, therefore Tuchel was sacked because of his stubbornness about not fulfilling the wishes of the higher-ups. Well, this is just my speculation as far as I know Tuchel should always target his players to keep winning, but the sponsor's wish is that they play under management. I don't know how to put it into a scoring game and also the desire for sponsors to be one of the factors why Tuchel was sacked. It's hard to pin down but the crux of the Tuchel sacking case I know is purely business.

Todd Boehly was too quick to have sacked Thomas Tuchel as he just took over from Roman Ibramovic. I still stand against it that it wasn't a good decision made by the current Chelsea owner. To be honest, Chelsea and its management team should learn to give their managers time and too sometimes allow them to independently take decision as a coach when it comes to buying players, because the coaches only knows the kind of players that is needed in the team and suitable to his tactics.

Yes and also, with the sudden sacking of Tuchel and then, will Chelsea be able to immediately sign the players they want?

In fact, Tuchel's dismissal occurred when the transfer window had closed, meaning Todd Boehly should have been more patient until the transfer window re-opened in January.
I think the benefits of successful marketing come not only from the top players, but if it can come from the team's success in winning titles or at least being a strong team that is consistently in the top four.

Therefore, instead of getting an advantage, they are at a loss because they have lost their best form and also, they are losing because they still haven't got the players they want.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with giving Tuchel time at least until the half-season break like this time, but it has happened and Chelsea must be able to start again from the beginning.

Do you mean Union Berlin to fight to win the Champions league. I don't think it will be possible for Union Berlin when we have tough teams like bayern Munich,  Real Madrid,  and PSG.  Union Berlin just need to try to win their remaining game in the Bundesliga league.

Yup! I really considered them below Leverkusen or Koln, and with the Championship league it is impossible for them to even be in the Europa League, for me, they will eventually fall from that spot and will be taken by teams like Dortmund or Leverkusen as the season progresses,

For Union Berlin, which was previously in the top four with a pretty good time, but in the end Union Berlin looks like it will get out of the European zone in the standings.
Because at this moment Union Berlin has dropped out of the top four and is in fifth place in the standings for the time being, and at the same time Dortmund is right below Union Berlin with a two-point gap.

If I consider what happened with Union Berlin before, it is very possible that the teams under Union Berlin will take over the fifth and sixth positions.
Because the teams under Union Berlin are teams that are very likely to be able to continue to catch up like Dortmund, Wolfsburg and Monchengladbach and of course these three teams have the ability to be able to threaten Union Berlin's position.




I agree with you, regardless the very good result that the two clubs already did but i believe liepzig will be ahead of them because the two clubs don't have the required abilities to keep the good result for a long period of time, but liepzig can make a long run of good results and that's what will make the difference

For me, Leipzig didn't get great momentum to start the season, even last season they are like these and struggling at the beginning of the season, but eventually, they will surely get their momentum to lead on, and right now the 3rd position is as good for them but I feel they are targeting Freiburg or even the 1st position for Bayern Munich if possible, I really have great hopes for Leipzig to be champion one day.

About Freiburg and Leipzig they have looked very good so far, so it seems that the two teams do have the ability to be consistent and to be able to maintain their position in the top four.
But let's not forget that Eintracht Frankfurt is currently in fourth place. Eintracht Frankfurt is also a team that has managed to rise quickly at this moment.
So that the three teams in second, third and fourth place or Freiburg, Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are the three teams that promise better consistency this season compared to Union Berlin and Dortmund.

Newcastle are a great example of how an underdog can turn into a leader... I remember how awful they played last year, but after a change in management the result has been amazing... The opposite effect can be seen at Chelsea, where after a change in management and some summer transfers the top club is in the middle of the standings...
Chelsea's situation is quite different, they have been a big club for a very long time, and the change at the hierarchy was because the previous owner ran into some trouble because of the ongoing war; and they are still a big club despite their change of hierarchy. I think Todd Boehly has made one huge mistake since his takeover, and that's firing Tuchel, the club was going in the right direction with him, they already won a CL trophy and they could have prolly built on that, Graham Potter is not a manager for a big team imo, and it might take him quite a lot of time to adapt.

Having said that, in Newcastle's situation they were lucky to get a new and rich hierarchy at their club, and they are really going to bring good things to Newcastle, i didn't expect it to start this seaaon, but it looks like it already started with the good players they have, if they can get into Europe at the end of this season, i am pretty sure they would be able to allure one or two world class players and a couple of other very decent ones, and that could kick start Newcastle being a team to reckon with in the League.

But one of the things that is even more great for Newcastle is, even though they are now a rich club, Newcastle have not moved quickly to recruit or have famous coaches and players.
The way they are getting better performances is really great because they are not depending on top players and coaches to improve their performance, it is one of the great ways that Newcastle is implementing.

If Newcastle has gotten a better position in the standings or more precisely in the top four, then in the next transfer window or next season's transfer window, of course Newcastle will find it easy to recruit famous players because next season Newcastle will play in the Champions League.

Yes, I also agree that Graham Potter still needs more time to manage big team like Chelsea, because even though Graham Potter previously had success coaching Brighton, that doesn't guarantee that Graham Potter will easily train big team that have a lot of demands and pressure.
With the decline in performance experienced by Chelsea, I'm basically not too surprised because after all, since Tuchel was sacked, Chelsea has basically been experiencing a decline in performance.

But it's very unfortunate, Todd Boehly even fired Tuchel, maybe with this process Tuchel could form an even better team. Because when compared to Todd Boehly bringing in a new coach, then of course it will take longer to restore the team's performance.
5708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 15, 2022, 07:42:27 AM
It was a usual game for PSG in the league. They got a too comfortable win despite Messi and Neymar's poor performances. Against teams like Auxerre, one of the trio is enough for PSG to get a decent win.

PSG have already started to relieve very much in the standings as well. I see that Lens are not far away from them but it would also happen in time. I don't think that they can do the same as Lille and make it to the title this season. There aren't the same mistakes made by PSG anymore. They are just focused on having as big gap as possible before their Bayern Munich games in the Champions League. They shouldn't have any problem about this as well.

After all, PSG is so far the only unbeaten team in Ligue 1 and of course, it is difficult for any other team in Ligue 1 to take over the top spot in place of PSG.
Also, even though Messi and Neymar didn't play full time, I don't think they played badly. Because I personally believe they still have a contribution to the team even though they didn't score goals and assists in yesterday's match against Auxerre.

Nobody knows about Lens, whether they can be consistent or not because even, last season Lens could only finish in seventh place. So I think there is no guarantee for Lens to be consistent throughout this season to threaten PSG's position at the top of the standings.
If later Lens suddenly experiences a decline in performance then of course PSG will be more comfortable at the top of the standings, and I think that is very likely to happen.
5709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 14, 2022, 03:44:37 PM
the italian league this season is very interesting, the two cities milan and juventus no longer dominate, and when asroma and lazio start to rise plus atalanta which is always surprising, this indicates the italian league is getting more competitive, maybe it's time for Napoli's glory to return like in 88 and 89, and not unbeaten until Week 15 and 10 points clear of second in the standings has everyone believing this year will be the year Napoli win the league

Have you checked the standings?
Because currently Milan and Juventus are ranked second and third and in fact, Juventus who are in third place are only two points different from Milan who are in second place. Therefore, I personally believe that in the next match after the break, these two teams or Juventus and Milan will again threaten Napoli's position at the top of the standings.

If you don't know, Lazio was defeated by Juventus with a score of 3-0 for the closing match of the season half yesterday. Also, Roma is still in seventh place in the standings which means, Roma is still outside the European zone in the standings and Roma is very difficult to maintain its performance for competition in the top six.
So, as time goes by, teams like Lazio, Roma and Atalanta will only remain below the position of Juventus and Milan. This is something that happens from season to season, and proves that they or Lazio, Roma and Atalanta have not fully recovered as you might expect.

It is true that almost every club will stop playing for the World Cup. Due to which the performance of the team players is likely to change later. Some may play brilliantly and some may lose performance. Such changes will have some impact on clubs or tournaments.
The change in performance for each team depends on the condition of each player and that will also make the competition more exciting after the world cup. But the team and the coach must have prepared a bit of an unusual strategy in dealing with this because this season there must be a world cup which makes every team's match in the League be postponed
International matches of course greatly affect the stability of the club, because of course the scourge of injuries that players get in international matches will hurt the club in the end, that's why many clubs may be reluctant to let their players go to play when the national team plays, I also think that later there will be a lot of influence which is obtained by the team after the world cup is over and sometimes the team will feel the adverse effects that affect the condition and performance of the team in the league or champions league when the core players are tired or injured after playing in world cup.

But there's also a good side to it and it's not always the World Cup that results in something bad for the team, because with the World Cup there will certainly be a new name that might improve because of a good performance at the World Cup.
Also, if the core players in each club can play well and not get injured in the World Cup, then these players will still have a stable performance and or even better when playing at their club after the World Cup.

So in this case I think we should also be able to admit that there will always be good and bad impacts, and we can't just judge from the bad impacts that might occur. Because for me, playing for the national team is a good thing and all players want it although indeed, there will always be concerns for their clubs but that can't stop players from wanting to play for their national team.
After all, there will be a recovery program for the players, which of course will still be good for keeping the players fit, so no big deal about the World Cup

I also thought that the result of this match would be a draw, so I think that many people also lost bets, including me. I did not expect that Manchester United won this match by scoring an additional goal at the end of time. Well, even without Ronaldo, Manchester United can beat Fulham and they are really a strong team
Indeed, many did not expect that the match would be won by Manchester United, but in my opinion it was a natural victory for Manchester United because Manchester United is trying to collect full points to improve its position in the standings. Ronaldo is no longer such an influential player in the Manchester United team although if there was Ronaldo in that match, it would also be better for the Manchester United team.

It is not Manchester United who is strong,yes they are strong but not strong at the level we used to know them,they are just collecting points and it was somewhat lucky that they have won yesterday in Fulham home.Fulham has been doing well during this year but they have not been that consistent.If Ronaldo was in the game most probably the team would have played better and created a lot more chances but what is important in the end is the fact that Manchester United got the three points and improved a bit their position.

Yes, because Ronaldo's performance was not in his best form, Ronaldo was not very influential for the team. Also, even if Ronaldo is not in the team, Manchester United will still get the result.
About winning or not, basically Manchester United does have a chance to win but considering Fulham is not a weak team at all, then of course there are many people who will reconsider because Fulham will still be difficult to beat.

But after all, in the end Manchester United can win the game even with half time / full time, and if we only look at the final result then this victory is still good for Manchester United.
But if they evaluate the match, it looks like they might still hope that Manchester United can play even better, because the statistics also show that Fulham can indeed play well in this match.

Therefore, Manchester United played with great effort in this match to get full points, even though Manchester United could have played disciplined in the second half with tighter games in defense.
At least to maintain their advantage with a score of 1-0 because then, Manchester United did not need to make a bigger effort towards the end of the match to score the winning goal again.

Congratulations to Juventus on holiday in a better situation, it's impressive they are back in the top four at the end of the first half of the season. I really didn't expect Juventus to be able to do this and it's been a long process for them, because now Juventus only have a 10 point gap with Napoli.
It looks like the competition after the break will be even more interesting and indeed, it will be quite a change when one of their key players returns to play like Chiesa.

If Juventus can finally become a strong team in this season's title competition, then of course it will be very extraordinary, because I think playing against Lazio is still a difficult task for Juventus to win. But wow, it was a very good win with clean sheets, I really didn't expect because it's possible that Lazio can make a goal to make the final score like 2-1 but Juventus can win by 3-0.
Great for Juventus, I hope they continue to do better in Serie A and also in the Europa League.
5713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 13, 2022, 08:20:29 PM
The last three matches without a win have made Union Berlin's position continue to decline in the standings and instead, Freiburg has managed to penetrate into second place in the standings now and is right below Bayern Munich.
At first Union Berlin competed with Bayern Munich, but now it is Freiburg who has become its replacement. But in reality, there is no team in the Bundesliga that can really disturb Bayern Munich's position at the top of the standings.
Because, if Bayern Munich has returned to the top of the standings, it will be difficult for any team in the Bundesliga to be able to take over the top position.

But apart from the top position in the standings, I personally still regret Union Berlin for not being able to survive at least for the top four, because with this decline in performance it is of course possible for Union Berlin to continue to fall.
Instead of being able to maintain his performance for Union Berlin this season, what has happened is a performance that continues to improve for other teams such as Eintracht Frankfurt. I think it is clear that this is a great performance that Eintracht Frankfurt has, and of course it is progress that can make Eintracht Frankfurt consistent going forward.

Roma really struggled to score even though they were playing at home and indeed, Roma were very bad in the first half but even though Roma played badly in the first half the score at half time was 0-0.
But that doesn't mean that Roma became easier in the second half, because even though Roma had many attempts to score goals, they always failed and in fact, the penalty that Roma got in the final minutes of the match failed to be executed properly by Belotti.

But indeed, Torino is not a weak team and often Torino can play very well when playing against top teams. Also, basically I like Torino's gameplay which has a strong style of play.
This draw still makes Roma have a chance to return to fifth or sixth place in the standings, but to penetrate that position is still not easy for Roma. Since the only team that is most likely to be overtaken is Atalanta due to Inter and Juventus, I'm sure they will get better as time goes on.

Manchester United's defence line haven't been the best in this Fulham fixture, De Gea has been the most that stood between them ad some huge defeat which is still possible. The oeessuee form Fulham is just too much and it was a matter of time before the equaliser came in from the way they've been coming and kept coming. Almost the same patter of touches in the Manchester United goal is what was repeated in the Fulham goal. Started from an interruption from Bruno Fernández, over to William then to Tom Cairney who lined it with a cross just in front of the post for Daniel James to shot it in. It ain't looking like a game Manchester United can win no more, they would be very lucky if they do or at least get a draw.

But in the end Manchester United still won full points in this match, which of course is a good result for Manchester United. Although indeed, Manchester United cannot always play gameplay like that, because of course it will be difficult to win against other top teams.
But I believe, Erik ten Hag has a way of determining the right strategy and gameplay when playing against a certain team, so that their gameplay is not easy for the next opponent to overcome.

At least Manchester United are still lucky because they can still score the winning goal in the final minutes of the match, because that is a very close result to a draw. Also, I wasn't too sure that Manchester United would win before, because even though Fulham is a promotion team, Fulham really can't be underestimated.
That's why I said that Manchester United are still lucky because even statistically Fulham is not too bad and they deserved to get a point too in this match but for Fulham they are still not lucky enough.

I thought Brighton to be able to beat Aston Villa as I thought maybe their win against Manchester United was just a lucky coincidence and not that they really deserved it but seeing today that they got and won away it really means that their form recently has improved for real,the only bad thing is that now that they seemed to just get steam they will have to make more than 1 month of holidays because of the World Cup event starting this upcoming week.

At least Manchester United has started with the right foot by winning since early in the game away in Fulham home.

This was the first away win of the season for Aston Villa and also, the first away win since Gerrard left. I think Aston Villa will continue to get even better after the World Cup break, because currently Aston Villa is coached by Unai Emery who seems more promising for better performance at least to be strong in the mid-table.
But even so, I'm personally still a little surprised by the rapid improvement that has occurred for Aston Villa.

I think, after Gerrard's sacking and I think maybe Aston Villa will still find it difficult to come back but what happened was to win big against Brentford with a score of 4-0. But unfortunately it was like returning to the track of bad luck because they were defeated with the same score 4-0 by Newcastle.
Well, when Unai Emery was Aston Villa coach and his first match was against Manchester United and the result was very good. Because with Unai Emery's two consecutive wins in the Premier League against teams that on paper are still not easy, and including Brighton statistically Brighton is still in its best form so far but Aston Villa can beat it with a score of 1-2.

Even though PSG won big but none of the players had two goals, I thought before checking the players who scored maybe one of the PSG players had two goals or maybe a hat-trick. But none of them have it and in fact, Mbappe who plays in full-time only has one goal as well as being the opener for PSG's victory.
Because if I consider that Mbappe is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1, at least Mbappe has the ability to score at least two goals because PSG played at home and won big 5-0.

What's more, the opponent PSG is facing is a lower-ranked team in the standings but yeah that might not be a big problem. Because maybe, this big win is enough for them and there's no need to force one of their players to have a lot of goals.
Because after all, Mbappe and Neymar remain the top scorers in Ligue 1, because they are in the strongest team in Ligue 1 which certainly guarantees them to consistently maintain their performance to become top scorers in Ligue 1.

If you look at how Real Madrid played in the playoffs in the last Champions League, we will see that all the games were difficult and they sometimes won in the last minutes, but they never gave up and fought to the last. It shows the character of the team and it's very important because Liverpool don't know how to rebuild if they lose, they play well when everything goes according to their plan from the very beginning.
It's not certain in football that a comeback in those crucial minutes can happen in any game and not just focusing on Real Madrid performance which always surprises in the last minutes. Liverpool can do the same. But here the context is that Liverpool obviously has to be a bit more careful. Actually, this is only part of the attack technique which is to let the opponent finish the bullets early, once they run out of bullets can attack back with all the ammo available.
This is a challenge for Liverpool coach who has only one function or duty to perform and that is to make sure his team is able to score Real Madrid. No matter how good you play in your match against Real Madrid if you are unable to net, you are definitely going to lose the match. So his ability to improve Liverpool's team to score in big matches is a every big plus to the team. I Believe by that time he will have available Diaz, Firmino and Salah

One thing to consider is whether Real Madrid will still get the same results as last season. Indeed, Real Madrid has a real winning mentality but I think, at the same time, there will always be a factor of luck on his side.
Well, will the luck factor still be on Real Madrid's side this season, because we also realize that last season was a difficult season for Real Madrid because the opponents they faced were top teams who were also in their best form. But that way, last season no one predicted that Real Madrid would qualify for the final.

Therefore, in the previous season Real Madrid had made great achievements, and this season Real Madrid seems to have found it easier to reach the final. So I consider that the reality may be different from last season.
That is, when Real Madrid was not predicted to qualify but last season Real Madrid could qualify and vice versa, it is possible that when Real Madrid was predicted to qualify this season then maybe the result was not, and it was something that could not be predicted exactly.

Atalanta continues to have disappointing results for the team, and so surely Atalanta will soon be out of the top six. But with teams that continue to decline, there are also teams that are getting better at the end of this half of the season, they are Inter and Juventus.
Previously Roma and Atalanta looked fine and that was also the case last season, where they were very good at the start of the season to compete in the top five but over time Roma and Atalanta will decline as well.

It's different for Roma and Atalanta, because Inter and Juventus started this season very badly and even more so for Juventus who had to be eliminated from the Champions League event and will only continue it in the Europa League.
Of course it is a setback for Juventus this season, but their efforts to be able to compete in the top four in Serie A are still very open and of course they, especially for Juventus, will maximize this opportunity to be able to play in the Champions League again next season.

The sacking of Thomas Thuchel was the start of the Chelsea disaster. Now fans are starting to voice their dissatisfaction with Potter's performance. Three consecutive defeats and slumping position in the standings is something very bad for the Blues squad. Instead of wanting to be a champion challenger, now Chelsea's level has dropped drastically. Chelsea's management must immediately take the right policy if they don't want to see their team sink deeper.
So what do you think is the solution? sack Graham Potter and get Tuchel back? Or what kind of coach are you looking for? Certainly not an easy thing for the Chelsea Manager. Potter has only played a few matches and hasn't really been able to show his full contribution to Chelsea. I know this will be quite a difficult period if Chelsea themselves don't add to the attacking line-up. Instead of Chelsea, which is slumping, there is Liverpool, which is now starting to improve, and in my opinion that is good news for those who want to quickly catch up on points.

Because before that Tuchel could give Chelsea a quick title and then sack him suddenly, then of course they would really compare Tuchel and Potter. In fact, before Chelsea got consecutive defeats like this, in fact Potter could already be proud of by getting good results for Chelsea, one of which was with Chelsea being able to win the group in the Champions League.
But as time went on, Potter could not maintain good performance for Chelsea, even though if we compare it with Tuchel at that time, Tuchel was able to make Chelsea have a consistent performance.

So, if we keep comparing Tuchel and Potter then of course Tuchel is still the best because he can bring great success to Chelsea in a short time.
What's more, in the Tuchel era and then the Chelsea owner was sanctioned and it had a direct impact on Chelsea's management as well at that time. But in a difficult situation like that, Tuchel was still able to produce good results for Chelsea, so Tuchel was indeed a coach who was basically difficult to replace, but Todd Boehly fired him, which of course would have an unfavorable impact.
