Manchester United and Chelsea are both not in good situations but awe can't say Manchester United should get Eric Ten Hag fired
If Manchester United can try that, then they will be ending the season at the bottom of the table this season. What happened to Chelsea last season might end up happening to Manchester United this season, because I'm sure they won’t be balanced this season. It’s really a wrong idea to sack a coach in the middle of the season, it’s really going to affect the club because the new coach will find it difficult to adapt with the players easily, and there will also be pressure on the new coach. Ten hag performance wasn’t really bad last season, maybe he just made some wrong signing and some of his players that are on injury is really affecting him, so I think he should be given more time.
This is not the right time for Manchester United to push Eric Ten Hag Hag out from being the coach of Manchester United,  i think if Manchester united sack him now Manchester United will be worse than what they are right now. Manchester United is in the 6th position in the standings,  this is not a very bad position and their are still hopes that tge team performance can change and be better than what it is right now. The problem of Manchester United right now is wrong formation of players, some of the players don't really know the role to play in their game.

I also think this is the right time to sack Ten Hag. Because it is already understood that Ten Hag failed with Manchester United. And Ten Hag coach will have Manchester United's top four qualification in the points table. Moreover, it will take time for the new coach to come and get to know the players of the team. And the new coach will certainly run some experiments with the team. And then the new coach will have enough time to buy the necessary players to strengthen the squad in the next winter transfer window. Unless Ten Hag is sacked now, I don't expect much better from Manchester United this season. The team will not be able to qualify for the Champions League.

In fact I prefer SPL over MLS. Because it looks like SPL is starting very well with a lot of European player arrivals. As for MLS, just look at Messi. He wasn't really serious about the ball at this time. This is probably because there is no Relegation system. But indeed Family is the main reason. I think De Gea will choose family happiness. But he should still be very capable of competing in Europe. But there are indeed many rumors, De Gea is being invited by Beckam to accompany Messi

I will also go for the Saudi Pro League ahead of the MLS because of how determined the league is in general. In the SPL, the clubs are working very strongly to buy star players so they can fit in better or best in the league hence the recent popularity in clubs like Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ettifaq, Al-Taawuon amongst other clubs that are doing awesomely today. They have made the league even more popular than the MLS
 
First and foremost, you should give it to Messi of the efforts he's putting so far, however little, to maintain his relevance. Nevertheless, the issue with Messi in Inter Miami is simply the squad depth with Inter Miami greatly lacks. Because Messi does not have a strong team players, he may not perform as much as he will at the National team.

This is somewhat the same thing I feel about Cristiano Ronaldo's performance at the national team. Regardless of how strong you are as a defender, midfielder or at the forward, the rest of your team players will have a great effect to your level of success in the team. This is also applicable to the managers.

The Saudi Pro League has brought in a lot of really good players and the future of the league also looks to be good. And certainly a lot better when compared to the MLS. I do not see any intention for any player to actually play in the MLS. I also can certainly say that it is not a dream for any player to be playing in the MLS. And let's be honest, the only reason Lionel Messi was so interested in going through the MLS was because he was getting paid really well by the club. I mean having shares in Apple is just something incredible. Especially when we all know that most of the people in the US use Apple products. Players are not going to get as much money as him.

Leverkusen was the only team to qualify from the group phase among all the teams in the European League group stage. They finished 4 games with a win and got 12 points and now only have 2 games left for them. Even if Leverkusen lose or draw, it will not change the results, especially since they are already ahead on goal difference. Apart from that, I think Leverkusen will continue to win the remaining matches and don't want to tarnish the positive results they have achieved in all competitions currently.

Now Qarabag and Molde will be the two teams that will play it out to get second place in group H and considering that they both have 6 points, of course this will be an exciting competition to look forward to.

Consistency! this is the most valuable thing owned by leverkusen. The club is not only playing so well in europa league but in the bundesliga as well. Leverkusen has been confirmed to pass the group stage. The performance of leverkusen on europa league makes me feel confidence to say if leverkusen will able to win the bundesliga this season. There must be a club that shall have stopped the domination of bayern munich. Bayern leverkusen has become one of the strongest team to beat bayern in the bundesliga.
Even though the domination of bayern is very strong till it was winning its 11th trophies but i do believe if bayern will able to perform better. I would bet on the qarabag instead of molde.
Qarabag will able to dominate the molde in the upcoming battle. We will be getting the winner of second place very soon. Molde is starting to gain points but i think that qarabag will be winning the last place.



Leverkusen has already qualified. That must be great news for the club and also for the coach and the players. And I absolutely agree that they are being able to do these things because they are consistent with their performance. They are consistent in both the Europa League and also in the Bundesliga as well. They are in the first position in both of the competitions. And maybe we can say that they haven't had big competition in the Europa League so far but I don't think we can say the same thing about them in the Bundesliga. They have been able to avoid loss even against Bayern Munich. Which is the best team in the Bundesliga without a doubt. They have yet to lose a match in the Bundesliga so far. And that is also the same with them in the European league. This season looks really bright for them. Let's see if we can see them making history.

Investment is not a bed of roses that you invest one day and next day or week you will get the profit.
Every investment has a risk of loss, but at least in Bitcoin we can minimize losses by not selling it when the price goes down. Yes, perhaps among those who are still laypeople, of course, they think that investing in Bitcoin has a bigger risk because the price fluctuates, but the loss is purely due to their own decision. Maybe those who lose are those with weak hands who are unable to survive when the market is down.  such actions could result in them incurring losses if they sell it. In long-term investments, of course they are ready for all the consequences they will face. They must have a target to achieve big profits and not sell when the market is red.
Every investment is risky. We should invest in Bitcoin such money that we can afford to lose. Although we know that Bitcoin is not comparable to all other Shitcoin and gambling coins, it can be a reliable investment, but there is no guarantee that can be given from it, the investor should invest with due caution.
 
If we are successful in investing here by adopting DCA method then surely we can reduce our risk. We know that Bitcoin is a very volatile currency. When I invest all my investment money together in Bitcoin, my wealth may naturally decrease due to the drop in Bitcoin price. We can never guarantee an investment in Bitcoin but the way people's demand for it increases, our investment can turn into a great asset in the long run. But what I want to say again is that the mindset of investing in Bitcoin should be to fulfill long-term dreams and not for the greed of getting more.
Everything has risks, but any success requires trade-offs. So I think we should not focus too much on the risk but instead we should be ready to face it if it really happens. Once we decide to invest, we should be optimistic about our choice because thinking too much about risks will make us afraid and miss opportunities. Just like every time the price of bitcoin drops, many people fear it will drop even further and do not dare to buy when the price drops. And finally, they miss the opportunity to buy because the price does not continue to fall but increases again.

Think carefully and make a decision before investing. Once you have decided to invest, you should believe in your choice and stick to the plan you have set, don't think too much about risks.

I am confident in this aspect that I can hold my investment for a long time because we have multiple sources of income and my father is a government employee so I may not have to sell my investment in case of financial need. Many people may not have the financial freedom I have and the opportunity to hold investments for a long time. There are many people who earn money by working hard and after earning money they invest a part of that money, compared to them it is very easy for me to invest and keep that investment for a long time.  

I respect those investors who work hard and invest in Bitcoin hoping for good things and they try to hold on to that investment for a long time even if they suffer a lot. Those who don't sell their investment despite having many shortages are the real investors.  
Since I will never need to sell the investment, I will try to hold my investment for as long as possible. If I am successful in the investment, I will discuss my investment with my family.
It's good for you that your father is financially sound so you don't have to sell bitcoins but do you have money of your own? If not then you will have problem in investing. Your father may not always support you. Moreover, even after bringing money invested for a long period of time, if you are exposed to losses, you may have to live under stress. Investing in Bitcoin is definitely a good decision but should invest money with own ability or if you suggest someone educate them thoroughly about Bitcoin. Explain its positive aspects as well as its negative aspects. If your father fully understands Bitcoin and plans to hold it for the long term, it will be acceptable. But according to your perspective do DCA regularly, it will give better results.
He was fortunate to be born into a wealthy family, but relying on his parents is not something to brag about here. I like people who make their own money and are responsible for their lives rather than relying on their parents. Let's make our parents proud of us, don't let them worry more when we grow up.

Crystal Palace? No! He shouldn't swing that way, they may likely be relegated this season if they don't sack the current manager and make some improvements within the dressing room and squad.
For Fulham, since they lost Alexandra Mitrovic to the Saudi's, they've had some difficulties with goals scored. Unlike last season, they created chances and he was there to nod and tap in goals for em. But still, Timo Werner shouldn't swing that way too.

Personally, he's too much of a good and quality player to downgrade himself to these london clubs. Tottenham Hotspur have got no pure number nine in that squad since they lost sold Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, don't you think Timo Werner would also be a good supporting striker to Son? Son has also been rumoured to be Injured, I don't know what to believe since he said he's fine!
Werner who made his name at Leipzig after joining the newly promoted club ahead of their first ever Bundesliga campaign in 2016 would go on to establish himself as one of Germany's most-feared forwards, netting 28 goals in 34 games in 2019/20 before moving to Chelsea, his move to Chelsea didn’t go as planned as his goal tally reduced drastically though he had a UCL Winner Medal, then he went back to Liepzig.

 This period he rejoined Liepzig has seen him have some worst moments like reduced goal tally and also reduced play time, several Premier League clubs have been in contact and probably a return to London could happen by January with Fulham abd Crystal Palace in the race to sign him, both Crystal Palace and Fulham might not be good destinations for him but I feel Tottenham and West Ham would offer more in terms of European football and team play, Timo has quality and would surely be back on form and fire and an elite European competition should be one of his many priorities.

I actually agree with @Oluwa-btc that he is definitely a better player when compared to a lot of the other players in the lower-level clubs.  So I don't think he should downgrade himself right now. And he's also only 27 years old. He has a lot of time ahead of him. I think he should actually try to contact with the Tottenham club and actually try to move to Tottenham. I think that is going to be the best decision he might take because at this moment if he does downgrade himself, it is going to be a bad decision for him. because, after that, I don’t think he will have many chances to go to a big club.

It is really good to let children know about Bitcoin but I think making them involved in the Bitcoin economy in such early age makes no sense.  First kids has no capability to finance themselves, they are still reliant to their parents and should be enjoying their child hood.  Let them get interested on Bitcoin industry by themselves, I believe the right time for them to participate or get involved in Bitcoin will come one day but as a kid, let them enjoy being a kid.
You are right, it would be better for children to enjoy their childhood first so that they don't get bored quickly when they know about Bitcoin well, because children should have the desire to play rather than have an income and they will never think about it. how to earn income because they are still under the responsibility of their parents, if they have the desire to know about Bitcoin of course there is no harm in explaining it to them because this will be very useful for them someday.
It does not seem to me there is any harm in teaching kids valuable economic lessons at such an early age, we know very well most people will have to work 30 to 40 years before they retire, if they have any chance to retire at all, so teaching good habits regarding their finances at such an early age is a good thing in my mind.

This way when they grow up they will be able to take better decisions than their peers, begin to save, invest and obtain better results for themselves and their family.

Of course they won't harm the children, but they also have no effect, it's just a waste of time for us and them. At school age, tuition, living expenses, and every meal still depend on your family, what did you think and do at that age? Why do you have the thought of forcing children who are still in their playful age to learn things that are not necessary for them?

Have you ever thought why the education sector doesn't teach university and high school programs to elementary and middle school students? Financial education and introducing bitcoin investment is something we should do with our children, but we need to wait for them to mature at the appropriate age.

Both teams are actually very aware that their match is a match that will probably be very tough and interesting, so both of them will remain careful, both in attack and defense. Because Inter Milan still needs a good defense, especially in its position at the top of the standings, while Juventus also needs to defend itself so as not to lose at home to Inter Milan so this match will be interesting enough for everyone to wait and watch until the end.
Look, in my opinion both teams have to play without exposing themselves too much, after all they are both very close to the first two places in the standings.
Underestimating the opponent seems to me to be the wrong choice at the moment, they must play without exposing themselves too much and without allowing a counterattack
It's hard to do that. Intermilan may be going defensively against juventus. Old lady shall not be playing openly against intermilan. Intermilan is a club that was using direct counter attack as its weapon. Lautaro martinez will become the main threat for juventus.
I think that there is no club that was underestimating its opponent. It may be probably the fans. Juventus needs to be careful with counter attack from intermilan.
Allegri needs to put someone who is capable enough in guarding lautaro. I have picked double chance juventus or intermilan win.
The risk is high to pick one of them.

Attacking against Inter Milan is difficult. Because Inter Milan's attack is very strong and they are able to counterattack very quickly. And so if Juventus' defense is weak in this match, they will concede several goals. We watched AC Milan vs Inter Milan match. AC Milan's defense was not too weak. They then conceded 5 goals against Inter Milan. And so if Juventus wants a good result in this match then Juventus's defense must be strong.
Juventus are now only 2 points behind Inter Milan. This match is very important for Juventus if they want to win the title. If they get 3 points against Inter Milan, Juventus can take the top spot in the table.
Inter vs Juventus matches are always very competitive. It is difficult to predict which team will win but Juventus is strong in home matches. On the other hand, Inter Milan have won all their 5 away matches. This is why it is impossible to make sure predictions about this match.
588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 17, 2023, 03:33:16 PM
Bayern Munich will find it really difficult to win  UEFA Champions league this season because of some reasons,they have a squad that can win anything,but they still need time to play well with a top nine that is consistent in goalscoring.Kane has been an answer to that problem ever since he moved to Spain,and I knew what ever thing that made him start to find the back of the net,it would be his habbit to score goals.I so much have faith in Kane but despite all of these,I still dont see them as people who can win the champions league.There are few teams which I tip to be stronger than Bayern,and those teams are City, Arsenal,and Dortmund.I know it might sound some how that I chose Dortmund over Bayern,Yes,Dortmund to me look stronger in the champions league than Bayern.
That's because Dortmund has currently managed to top a group containing strong clubs in the Champions League. Dortmund appeared consistently to be able to move to the next round. but Munich is currently also very tough. although it's too soon to say they can get the Champions League trophy. but they have a chance.
it all also depends on the situation of their next opponents in the last 16. there will bring together more strong teams. We can see what happened last season when several strong teams ended up being eliminated early in the round of 16. we won't know the result, but Munich and other strong teams have the same chance of winning the trophy. it all depends on their efforts and preparation.
Their are lots of clubs that are performing well in Champions league right now, it is still early to tell which club will end up winning the champions league.  One thing I can see in the Champions League this season is that most of the big clubs are really doing well  which is making the league to be very interesting.  It is so impressive seeing Dortmund doing well in Champions league but it will be very nice if they can still maintain their good enery in the competition. The competition will be tough because it will be a fight between teams like Bayern Munich,  Manchester City and Real Madrid.
Borrussia Dortmund would remain a dump club for me, they can't even win a game to decide them league winners, so I can't give that same trust to them in the Champions League.
They've done massively so far, but even if they should qualify outta that group, they're going nowhere honestly. Last time I watched a good game from Borrussia Dortmund was the night Robert Lewandoski scored four goals against Real Madrid ( With Jurgen Klopp as head coach of Borrussia Dortmund )

The favorites for the Champions League remains, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid. I can't say same for Manchester United, unless a miracle happens.

I am not sure if Dortmund will qualify for the knockout round. Despite being at the top of the group, this team's performance has been erratic. In the last two matches they will play against Milan and PSG. And in both these matches they have a big chance to lose. I will hold myself back from betting on Dortmund in these two matches. My two favorite teams from Group F are Milan and PSG. Both teams will probably play in the Round of 16.

The performance of the Barcelona team is quite erratic. If you want to dominate the Champions League, it is important to have consistency in performance. Barcelona has no consistency in performance. Xavi needs to work harder to strengthen his attack. But Madrid, City and Munich are very strong this season.

I settle down to read every line of your comments and I do say that you are apparently right, however, I have in mind even before now that most government are investing in Bitcoin quietly and don't want others to know. (I can see you are a Nigerian, so let's talk about our government) more especially our Nigerian government, I have come in conclusion that the main reason why they didn't totally ban Bitcoin in our country is because they are also investing in it secretly, if they do ban Bitcoin totally they might find it difficult to invest, despite with the P2P transactions they will find it difficult to invest in Bitcoin, (I don't know how it will be difficult for them, but my instincts tell me so), they are scared to make Bitcoin so dem popular because they thought that Bitcoin will overcome the fiat currency and much people will not save their funds in the fiat banks anymore, just imagine if Bitcoin was legal in Nigeria during the cashless economy period, people wouldn't have suffered because of cash anymore rather they will just make sure that they convert there fiat currency into Bitcoin by clicking the buy button, and start making use of it, although most of the citizens wouldn't have the mind to risk their money, but a lot will do so because at that time, so many people will have no other options than to use Bitcoin.

As the world government can't control Bitcoin, it will be hard for the whole world to accept Bitcoin, but I have to say that Bitcoin doesn't need the whole world to accept it before it reaches where it will (hope you get my point?).

I agree with your thoughts, and not only governments are quietly investing in bitcoin, but people who talk bad about bitcoin like Warren Buffett or Jim Cramer, always say that bitcoin is trash and it will disappear soon as well is quietly investing in bitcoin. I also recently found interesting news about Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought a stock and asked the SEC to let them keep the name of the stock private. Even though everything is still being kept secret, chances are I'm guessing it has something to do with bitcoin and cryptocurrency, otherwise there's no reason they would ask to keep it a secret.

We just need to understand one simple thing: the majority of poor people always have the mindset of helping each other overcome difficulties. But for rich people, they never want to share their rich cake with anyone. They don't want others to become rich like them, so never believe what they say but look at what they do. Their goal is to increase wealth so they will be willing to say anything to keep people away from wealth.

Joao Felix is still young and not experienced enough. So the Barcelona team will definitely not depend on the performance of Joao Felix. Barcelona's most experienced striker is still Lewandowski, and Barcelona's attacking performance still depends on Lewandowski. Xavi does not have an experienced striker. Joao Felix and Raphinha's performances have been erratic. If there was another experienced striker besides Lewa in Barcelona's squad, Barcelona's performance would have been more regular and strong. Since Barcelona's performance is dependent on Lewa, if Lewa doesn't perform well, Barcelona's overall performance is also a little weak.
Lewandowski is now very old and his quality has really declined, especially this season, plus there is no strong support from his team, so it is very difficult for Lewandowski to be able to lift the team's performance, especially the front line, alone.
Joao Felix is actually no longer young, now he is 24 years old and he already has enough experience, but it is a shame that his quality has really decreased now, since he first arrived he was able to play well with Barcelona but now it is getting worse.
Barcelona's front line is currently the center of attention because of their poor performance and Xavi doesn't seem to have many other options to try.

It is true that Lewandowski's performance has deteriorated somewhat. However, he managed 7 goals and 3 assists in 11 matches in La Liga. It can be called a good enough performance.
Joao Felix may not be young anymore. But he is also not experienced enough. Xavi's try should make Joao Felix more experienced. Because he is talented enough. If Joao Felix can adapt himself well to the Barcelona squad and become experienced enough, then he will be able to serve the Barcelona team for a long time.
If Barcelona were to get consistent performances from their two strikers, Trespasson Raphinha, the team would not have to rely on Lewandowski. But Raphinha and Torres are very talented and Leo is not able to play consistently well yet.
591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 16, 2023, 05:27:32 PM
Just imagine if Lewandowski didn't score a goal in that match, Barcelona would definitely lose because we know that recently Lewandowski has rarely scored goals and this deadlock was successfully closed by several other players. I know that the person who scores the goal will always be praised as the person who contributed the most, but providing assists is no less good when the team really needs a goal to win the match. It's not just about scoring goals or providing assists, but players who can change the game or game creators are also no less important. I think that's enough and again Barcelona is a big team and they should be able to provide a decent advantage when facing opponents they can beat easily.
But scoring goals is what he is there for. Sure I can imagine what would happen if the doesn't score, but that is the same for any striker. Lewandowski is past his peak, which is a problem for Barcelona as they were hoping for three more great years with him, but I don't think he is still on a level high enough to make a huge difference for the team. He will still score goals and also make some assists, but I don't think he will be that top scorer again that he used to be.
Meanwhile, previously it seemed like Joao Felix had managed to produce good results for Barcelona because he managed to score a goal. Because then ya, it is appropriate for other players also be able to show their good qualities and star qualities to be able make a big contribution to ge good result in every match. Because after all, Barcelona doesn't only have Lewandowski, because Barcelona also has other players who also have above average quality. But strangely, when Lewandowski fails to score a goal and/or experiences a decline in performance, then Barcelona looks like lost the star quality in their squad and I think Barcelona can still play well even though Lewandowski is experiencing a decline.

Joao Felix is still young and not experienced enough. So the Barcelona team will definitely not depend on the performance of Joao Felix. Barcelona's most experienced striker is still Lewandowski, and Barcelona's attacking performance still depends on Lewandowski. Xavi does not have an experienced striker. Joao Felix and Raphinha's performances have been erratic. If there was another experienced striker besides Lewa in Barcelona's squad, Barcelona's performance would have been more regular and strong.

I'm will be really excited to watch the upcoming Bundesliga encounter between Leipzig and Wolfsburg after international break. Even though Wolfsburg may not be strong as Leipzig, I think it will be an exciting and difficult game. Since Wolfsburg will be playing at home, it will be difficult for Leipzig to just win the game and get all three points. while of right now, I think this game will end in a draw, but there might be more goals in the match one base on my observations, but  I can't say which team is favorites to win match or possible they may be a win, but draw is what I am thinking.

The Wolfsburg team may not be in good form right now. They have lost four of their last five matches and drawn one match. However, Wolfsburg will play at home against Leipzig. And at home, this team is quite strong. Wolfsburg have lost just one of their 5 home matches this season. The team won all three. So even if Leipzig is in good form, it will not be easy for them to beat Wolfsburg in this match.

I have seen the statistics of the previous matches of Wolfsburg vs Leipzig. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Leipzig has won three and Wolfsburg has won two. Both matches were Wolfsburg's home matches. So it is easy to understand that the Wolfsburg team is quite strong at home. That's why I think the match is likely to be a draw.

Maybe not our generation or the generation before us but the future generation will surely understand the technology and knowledge behind Bitcoin. Bitcoin is for everyone but not everyone can use it. Ask me why. Because there are still people who do not know how to use a smartphone. How can you expect them to understand a complex thing such as Bitcoin? Imagine an old person just chilling at his farmhouse. Does he really need to understand Bitcoin at this age? Of course not, just let him enjoy his life and when he has lived his whole life, he will be gone.

This is why crypto and traditional currency should coexist. You cannot just come to people and force something to them. People are more comfortable using what they already know. Adding something additional to it will open up possibilities for people whether they want to use it or not. That way you get the best of the both worlds. And maybe day by day in the future More people will show interest in learning new technology like Bitcoin and only then we will see total adoption of it. Until that time comes, they both should coexist in order to make life easier.
I still want a world with only bitcoin without traditional currencies, but you are right. We cannot be that selfish because not everyone can afford to use cryptocurrency like us, especially people like our parents and grandparents. Our world is colorful and there are many generations living together so there are many choices, diversity is better than monopoly. Then people can choose what they feel most satisfied with. It is a fact that, no matter how strongly technology develops or how advanced cryptocurrency becomes, the ultimate goal is still to bring convenience and convenience to our lives. Therefore, having many options, and we can choose any solution as long as we feel satisfied, is what we should aim for. We should not be too exclusive and cause many disadvantages to others just to satisfy ourselves, we should not be so selfish. So I agree with you about a world where traditional currencies and crypto coexist.

Now my question is, do you think losing all of one’s coins simply because they didn’t have access to their wallet or key is already enough disadvantage for bitcoin against the local banks ?

First of all, if you lose your keys and can't access your wallet, whose fault is it? Bitcoin or you? If it's your fault, you can't say it's a disadvantage of bitcoin. Everything is proportional to each other, bitcoin gives us privacy, gives us full control over our assets, we need to be more responsible with our assets. So I don't think having full control over your assets is a disadvantage.

But each person has a different way of thinking, if you are not confident in yourself, you can ask for help from a third party, such as a bank. But then you won't have privacy or full control over your assets. The choice is yours, you can't ask for something perfect that can give you absolute privacy and security, but you won't spend too much time and effort to protect it.

Such competitive and exciting matches are rarely seen. Manchester City were considered favorites in this match. However, the Chelsea players showed great dominance at the beginning of the match. In just 25 minutes, the Manchester City team took the lead by scoring a penalty. But Chelsea equalized within 4 minutes. After that, Chelsea took a 2-1 lead with Sterling's goal. In the first half, both teams played completely attacking. Akanji scored from Silva's pass in the last minute of the first half, and the match was tied 2-2.
Haaland gave City the lead again at the beginning of the second half. A lot of attacking we saw from players of both teams. Like the first half, the second half was very exciting. We had to wait till the last minute to know about the result of the match.
This is not surprising because even though Chelsea are in a slump and are inconsistent this season, they have proven that this team has a strong mentality and they must also remain vigilant.
The victory they achieved against Tottenham had a big influence on the team's confidence and the draw against Manchester City will also be a motivation for them to look forward to the next match.
I'm sure Chelsea will develop better in the next match.
And one of Chelsea's mainstay strikers brought in this season has recovered from injury and is ready to make a contribution to the team, Nkunku is a player who has very good qualities and is ready to defend Chelsea and make Chelsea's front line sharper.

Chelsea have changed their match tactics. The understanding between the players has strengthened. The players are also very confident now. So it is expected that Chelsea will be able to maintain this continuity of their good performance.
Personally I like Christopher Nkunku's gameplay a lot. Christopher Nkunku's performance with Leipzig was quite good last season as well. I think with a good squad we will see a lot of goals from Christopher Nkunku. If Christopher Nkunku can adapt himself well to the Chelsea team, and if the Chelsea players support Christopher Nkunku well, then Christopher Nkunku can make Chelsea's attack stronger this season.

Chelsea vs Manchester City match witnessed a goal duel. There were a total of 8 goals in the match. While the teams managed to score 8 goals, they could not win. Chelsea started the match fast but City scored the first goal. After conceding a goal, Chelsea had no difficulty in creating positions and increased the pressure and scored 2 goals, but could not prevent Akanji's goal at the end of the first half. In the second minute of the second half, City managed to take the lead again with Haaland, but the game ended in a draw with a goal in the last minute. I think it was a good and promising match for both teams.

India on fire after 15 overs they are 118/1. Current projected score is 326 runs and if India get there then it won't be easy for NZ to chase that target in front of mighty Indian bowling lineup. India top line up is fully geared up to play aggressive cricket and at the moment India is favorite. So far six 6s have been hit in first 15 overs.

On this pitch of Wankhede Sri Lanka team lost all wickets against India for just 55 runs. Against Afghanistan, Australia also faced considerable difficulties as they mustered just 292 runs. It is much more difficult to score runs in the second innings on this pitch as we have seen in previous matches. And the way India are batting today, I don't think they will give a target of less than 350. India has collected 153 runs in 21 overs. Gill and Kohli are batting very responsibly. Team India lost just one wicket. Also Indian bowlers are in very good form. So if India can set a target of around 350, then my guess is that New Zealand will lose this match by a big margin.

We can say already that Ajax are done in the Europa League this season. Losing against Brighton 2 times in a row brought their end. They still have a mathematical chance of course but isn't much realistic considering how many points Marseille and Brighton have collected so far.
They need Brighton to lose their remaining matches while they are winning against Marseille away and AEK home. I can't trust this Ajax even in that AEK match honestly. They just need to regain their strength as soon as possible. They had better focus on the Eredivisie with everything they have got to finish the season in a decent place.
Honestly, Ajax had a very difficult group, I understand them not getting it. I feel like a third place would make sense for them, not sure if third place goes to conference league like how in UCL third place goes to europa, but if that is the case then it's fine, they will keep on fighting. Think about it, we are talking about both Brighton, who are having a great season, and Marseille, which is not a bad team at all. So when you combine those two together, it becomes obvious that they are going to end up not being in the top two.
Ajax could have, I mean not like it would be impossible, but they are having a bad season, their league is not that awesome neither, not too bad though, so it's understandable that they would finish the group third place. Fourth place would be difficult to handle though, that is not really all that fair and I think it is going to end up being a little different and difficult for them to handle in the end.
Ajax being in a tough group while they are in bad form is something understandable that they did not qualify for the knockout stages of the Europa League. Brighton and Marseille are both strong teams. I think it's not a surprise that Ajax will be eliminated, They were simply outclassed by the other teams in their group. they need to focus on their league and fix their situation, unless they are gonna be getting worse.
it would be unfair to see Ajax finish in fourth place. They are a great club which is expected to progress from the group stage. but they only have them self to blame for anything will happen.

Firstly Ajax's group Marseille and Brighton are very strong. And secondly, Ajax is not in good form now. If Ajax were in good form then every match in Group B would be very competitive. But Ajax is not in good form. Therefore, they did not have to build any resistance against Marseille and Brighton.

It is also much harder to predict which team will top the table between Marseille and Brighton. Their next match in Marseille will be against Ajax. With Ajax in poor form right now, it is highly unlikely that they will win against Marseille. Who will top Group B will be decided after the match of Brighton vs Marseille on December 15.

Juventus are on fire right now. They are on winning streak that shows their quality as a team has improved a lot. Massimiliano Allegri has taken control back on his squad bad seasons he had before. They are now back to be favorite team to win the league with the balance squad they have and can focus on the league.

Inter Milan are also on very good form. they won games in Serie A and Champions League comfortably. They maintain their confidence as Champions League Finalist very well. Simone Inzaghi is very well-aware that the competition is still a long way to go with many other teams have improved a lot while they have lost few good players and signed some new players.

I think the Game Jeventus vs Inter Milan will be so intense. whoever perform with better defense have more chance to win because this game will be so tactical.
They had a bad days in the previous season, cause they got deducted some points and banned from playing top European competitions but it became a blessing in disguise cause it's given them an advantage this, cause despite the fact that they got alot of injury crisis, since they're not participating in any major European competition, it's given their players enough time to rest and prepare for every game.

 However their toughest competitors and threat to winning the league this season is Intermilan cause despite the fact that they're participating in other competitions, they're still doing very well and are currently at the top of the league, Juventus have to be very ready when they play against Intermilan so as not to lose their chances of going to the very top of the table.

I agree with you. Since the Juventus team is not participating in any European competition, they can give their full attention to the Serie A matches. Also, since they do not have a busy schedule, the chances of players getting injured are also reduced. This is why Juventus can maintain consistency in Serie A. We see good performances from Juventus players in almost every match.

The attacking side of the Inter Milan squad is very strong. They can score a lot of goals. Lautaro Martínez in particular is playing great. He scored 12 goals in 11 matches in Serie A. Unless Inter Milan's attacking players suffer injuries, I think Inter Milan will be able to continue their winning streak. And the top spot in the table will be occupied by Inter Milan.

But more than that, they must anticipate similar things that might happen again in the future. I mean the return of some of their players from injury should be maximized well, and they should make sure that when bad things happen again they are ready.
The depth of the squad that they have at the moment is not entirely ready and strong, so when they lose some of their main players, they struggle because in reality the players who are their cover have not been able to replace their positions very well. Things like this must be anticipated because it really affects them.
Injury hits harder for the Blaugrana this season, implicating more major players that served important roles for the club, there absence have made the team performance decline and that's not good news for the fans. Xavi Hernandez will gradually get his team back to formidable form this season, afterall his important injury players is returning and there's specifically good improvement from the backup players. Pedri and Lewandowski have return and making progress in each game played. They will recover within time, they just need to add more energy.

There is no doubt that Barcelona's squad is strong. But Xavi does not have a suitable replacement if any player gets injured. I would say this is Barcelona's main weakness. Apart from the main squad, the bench team also needs to be strong if we want to perform consistently well. Because it is highly unlikely that a player will play an entire season injury-free. However, Lewandowski is in good form now. Rafinha's performance has also improved. He is also able to perform brilliantly. Xavi could have strengthened this squad if Barcelona's management was financially sound. However, Barcelona's current squad has the ability to perform well against any renowned team.
