Both Roma and Lazio have to work hard because other clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus and Udinese won't let them get the fourth position easily. That one means a ticket to play in Champions League that in turn brings more income for the club.

Serie A has been very competitive this season. Many teams are fighting for the title. And the performance of the teams is very good. Interestingly, Inter Milan and Juventus are seventh and eighth in the points table. Juventus and Inter will certainly continue to fight to qualify for the Champions League. And so we are not sure how long teams like Roma and Lazio can keep their position unchanged in the points table. But their performance is now very stable. If they can maintain such consistency, they will be able to keep their position unchanged in the points table.
I see AS Roma is not as stable as you said. AS Roma often play below expectations even though they can win the match. This is a problem in my opinion even though they can win but their potential to be defeated is very big if they play like this. Maybe Jose Mourinho should bring in a few more players to create stability in their game. Because I see now AS Roma players have not been able to play at their highest level.
Yes indeed, although Roma look better so far but basically they are still vulnerable to being beaten by rival teams and also mediocre teams. But even so, I will probably admit that Roma this season is indeed better than Juventus and Inter because Roma got a draw against Juventus, and won away against Inter.

It was a progress made by Roma but unfortunately, when Roma played against a team that was at their best Roma lost very unexpectedly like losing by Udinese with a score of 4-0 and losing by Atalanta with a score of 1-0. Therefore, Roma do look better so far but Roma still can't be consistent, and against Napoli on matchday 11 later it will certainly be a testament to whether Roma will still be beaten by a team that is at their best or maybe can hold it with a draw result.

Crystal Palace and Wolves had a very good fight last night. I didn't know that there's midweek matches in English Premier league bot until I tuned in for news and saw the match ongoing. The two teams played very well but Crystal Palace won the match by 2 goals to 1. Despite that Wolves lost the match, I must say that their team has improved more than they started this season and there are good number of good players in the team, the likes of Adama, Costa etc
Overall improvement was 100%, especially after halftime. In another match-winning performance, Wilfried Zaha gives Crystal Palace a 2-1 victory over Wolves as the Eagles come from behind once again. During the second half, Wolves made poor substitutions, and the choice of subs was terrible. As a result of Wolves' poor start to the second half, Davis believes they lost to Crystal Palace. Other than that, Wolves had their best look for some time.
It's a shame Wolves couldn't hold on to the win, if they didn't have a plan to score an extra goal in the second half then Wolves should have played more defensively. It doesn't matter if they can play defensively, because if they are able to keep playing disciplined to be able to close the attack on Crystal Palace then of course they will be able to maintain the 1-0 win they had in the first half. Although previously I also believed that Crystal Palace could win, but seeing Wolves can win in the first half it is a very unfortunate result because Wolves this season have not looked in good form.
Manchester United - Tottenham is definitely the most attracting match of the day.

First of all if we are to mention the missing players, Emerson Royal isn't playing due to red card. Richarlison is also absent due to injury but Kulusevski might be able to play this time as his condition is questionable now. Kulusevski's return would add an extra power to Tottenham attacking line for sure. He was one of the crucial contributors before his injury. I can't imagine how great work Kulusevski, Son and Kane would do in this case. As a result I believe that Tottenham are one step ahead as for attacking. Manchester United's priority must be defense despite playing home. This worked against some other big teams in this season before so I guess ten Hag will try the same formula here also.

But as for my prediction on this matchup, I don't expect Tottenham to lose here. Double chance might be a good option and I'm considering both teams to score also. Maybe the scenario could be like this: Manchester United score first then Tottenham answer and it ends in a 1-1 draw.
Yes, although there are several Tottenham players injured but I still believe that Tottenham will still play well. Because basically Tottenham's attack is still in its best form so far but unfortunately, I see these two teams have defenses that sometimes make blunders. So yeah, for the final result I'm personally not sure if it only has like two goals, because with a defense like that at least the home or away team will be able to have at least two goals or more but still with the option of both teams to score.

In fact, the possibilities of PSG are already starting to raise questions for me - I don’t see them as a reliable consistently strong game against strong opponents (weak ones can be ignored). In the Champions League, they failed to beat Benfica twice in a row. If it was a separate match, then I would not pay attention, but twice in a row this is already a signal of problems. It is a pity that the next game will be against Maccabi and there the result is a foregone conclusion. The final game of the group stage against the crisis Juventus may show us what PSG can do.
Regarding the result in the Champions League against Benfica, it made me curious as well, whether it was purely because Benfica were indeed in their best form or there was something that maybe they planned to keep getting points so that Juventus no longer had a chance to overtake them. But apart from these suspicions, I also agree that it is indeed difficult for PSG to continue to get maximum results in every match, because winning by only one goal difference with the squad they have, for me it is not a maximum result.
In part, I really like this, because if PSG is in trouble to win, that does not mean that the team is making a mistake, it means for me that the level of football of the other teams in the French league is increasing, that although PSG It has many stars like Mbappé, Messi, Neymar, among others, they are not so comfortable, that means that things are going well in world football, for me it is a great success, this match between Marseille and PSG was not won. for a great result, they won it because it really cost them, but if Marseille hadn't been so bad, things would have been different, that's what comes to my mind the most.
But for me it is not, because if other teams in Ligue 1 improve to make it difficult for PSG to win or only make PSG able to win by a narrow score. Then PSG will be increasingly tested and of course have a good impact for them to compete even stronger in the Champions League, but in reality this is not the case. Because PSG in the Champions League doesn't seem to have had a big development to get stronger and that means they are still at the same level, or maybe they tend to decline a bit because over time they need more effort than usual just to score one goal.
Marseille put up a fight against PSG, but they made some silly errors that cost them the game. It's quite sad how Alexis tried so hard to do everything to help the team win the game; he was everywhere on the field.

Alexis was fantastic, but luck ran out of him. Marseille has demonstrated that they are prepared to win a trophy this year.
Alexis Sanchez is indeed a hard-working player and I really liked it when Alexis Sanchez played at Barcelona, and until now he is not young anymore Alexis Sanchez can still play with very good movements. But yes, a team win cannot be done with just one player and also, basically it is not easy for Marseille to beat PSG. What's more, PSG's team development makes it difficult for Marseille to beat PSG from time to time. Therefore, Marseille is still not strong enough to win the trophy because even, to stay in the top three Marseille really needs a bigger effort and it is not easy for them.

Who will Xavi include in the squad as a replacement for Sergio Busquets? Barcelona does not have experienced midfielders. Busquets is an experienced player. But he is not playing well now. The bonding of forward's players with midfield is not good. Barcelona's performance is not as good as expected due to weak bonding. Barcelona has several weaknesses in their squad. But I think the main reason for the attack's weakness is that they are not getting enough support from the midfielders. Barcelona's overall gameplay will be stronger and stronger if the performances of the midfield and defense players improve.
Is Sergio Busquets an experienced midfielder, most definitely! but is Busquets obsolete and no longer essential, literally the freaking truth! He shouldn't be out there starting every game, he should be dropped, I'd rather have a Gavi, Pedri, Kessie or De Jong, both De Jong and Kessie can play as a CDM, or even Gavi who has been very energetic and got great passing accuracy and covers most distance on the pitch than most of other Barcelona players in most of the recent games.
Sergio Busquets.? His time with Barcelona is over. He is not reliable anymore, his age which has passed the golden age as a football player has made him experience many declines in his appearance.
Xavi still has many more energetic and reliable players in the midfield. I don't think he will stay at Barcelona much longer, the conditions that Sergio Busquets are in are the same as Gerard Pique.

I would say Sergio Busquets and Pique shouldn't be in Barcelona right now. These two players are a threat to Barcelona's squad at the moment. They are not playing well and often make bad mistakes, resulting in Barcelona conceding goals. Barcelona now have talented and reliable players in Sergio Busquets and Pique. And so we probably won't see these two players in Barcelona's squad anytime soon.
Yes indeed, it's time for them to be removed from the Barcelona main squad but for some reason they still feel like they are needed, even though players for other lines have been rejuvenated. So yes, the rejuvenation should be done completely to make the team fresher and more energetic, and the team that managed to do the overall rejuvenation is Arsenal. Barcelona still looks very dependent on senior players, even though it is no longer important if they can't really contribute to the team. The defeat of Real Madrid was enough for Barcelona to be difficult to regain the top position, because their squad is still not perfect in several lines which of course will have an unfavorable impact on their performance.

Apart from that, by the way, did anyone bet in last night's match about Sevilla, Bilbao and Atletico all getting draws. To be honest it might be a pretty surprising final result, because on paper at least Bilbao and Atletico have a chance to win because the opponents are not a strong team this season. I wonder if today's match will be like that too because again and again, today's match looks like it will be a win for Betis and Real Madrid because the opponent is a team that is at the bottom of the standings.
5905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: October 19, 2022, 05:35:00 AM
Next time the lead might change hands in the standings. Because there are matches like Roma - Napoli and Atalanta - Lazio. In case Atalanta win and Napoli lose, the new leader would be Atalanta. However it is really not easy to see this. Even though Roma are in a pretty impressive shape and they are playing home, Napoli are still a huge threat to them with their form. You must be remembering the Milan - Napoli match which Napoli defeated their opponent. Maybe they can do the same to Roma also unless Roma become very careful.

It isn't easy for Atalanta to win either. Lazio are one of the strongest teams of the recent weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends in a draw.
Napoli and Atalanta still have a chance to continue their good trend in this match, even though their opponents are top teams but I am sure Napoli and Atalanta will not lose. Even though for example they can't win, but at least they can still end the match with a draw at least that's better than not getting any points at all. So yes, I still believe that even though Napoli are playing away, they are still on fire which is certainly not easy for Roma to beat Napoli. Regarding Lazio, I think even though they are in 5th place at the moment, they are still not consistent enough. Because Lazio also have to focus on the Europa League which is still not safe, for sure it will be a good opportunity for Atalanta because Atalanta will also play at home and Atalanta will only focus on Serie A this season.
Juventus will not fight for the title of Serie A. They are already far behind. It is not possible for them to win the title now. They are 10 points behind Napoli at the top of the table. So Juventus' only goal now is to qualify for the Champions League. It is also very difficult for them. Because Juventus is 6 points behind Roma in the fourth place in the table. However, if Juventus can recover their form then they have some chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Even though there is a saying that "in football, anything can happen", but if I consider what happened to Juventus, it seems they have lost their chance to get back on the title track. In fact, to be able to finish in the top four I also began to doubt it a little, because at the same time the teams above him are now in better form. So, if Juventus want to overtake them quickly then Juventus must be better than them in a short time as well. This is certainly not easy because even some of their main players have also suffered injuries, and even if these players recover at least they will still need time to get back to their best.

Manchester United - Tottenham will be a really interesting match to follow tomorrow. Because even though there is a 7-point difference between these teams in the standings, this is still a match that is open for any kind of a result.

Tottenham will undoubtedly win tomorrow's game if the outcome were to be judged based on how both sides have performed thus far this season. This match will be intriguing to watch in light of the teams' past games and how fiercely competitive each squad is. With Tottenham, Manchester United has drawn one, lost one, and won three of their previous five head-to-head matches. The match would not be an easy one for either club to win against the other given this analysis and Tottenham's current form.
Yes, any result is still very possible for both teams because even though Manchester United's record so far has only won two of the four home matches that have been played, Manchester United still has the opportunity to perform better in this match. Because in the previous match also Manchester United only got a 0-0 draw against Newcastle, but this result can not fully be a benchmark they will get the same result in the match against Tottenham today.

But, considering that Tottenham have so far this season been a team that is competing strongly in the competition in the top three, then of course Tottenham are in a situation that requires them to play even stronger. But unfortunately, Tottenham when playing away is also not as good as when playing at home. So yes, even though these two teams have quite a gap in the standings, the team in the top position does not guarantee to win either. Vice versa, the team whose position is below it is still not easy to beat because of course, they will try hard to get full points. So, betting on the total goals option and or both teams to score may be a good choice, because both are ambitious to win in order to keep their position in the standings.

It seems that since Real Madrid was coached by Ancelotti, I think Real Madrid don't prioritize ball possession and they only prioritize the final result. No matter how high they play defensively to get a quick counter-attack, then they will. They also did this strategy in the Champions League last season to the final match, which in fact Real Madrid lost in statistics but they got a win at the end of the match. Until now they still apply that style of play, and it still works very well.
Ancelotti is a coach who gives freedom to his players. He is creative too and he enlightens career of Andrea Pirlo in AC Milan. Without Ancelotti, it's hard to imagine how Pirlo's career would be because he failed previously in Inter Milan.

This style of Ancelotti makes people think he is not a top-notch coach but in fact he is. He gets good support from his players and has very good relationship with his players. He allows them to play and adjust themselves in each match. He does not bind with any single idea or tactic, that is Ancelotti. And it's clearly as you discussed, ball possession is not the one that obsesses Ancelotti a lot. He cares more about results just like a traditional Italian coach.
But if that's Ancelotti's style of coaching then it looks like it will only work well with top players and teams, as Ancelotti had previously failed to produce good results at Everton. Because if Ancelotti's way of coaching remained the same as when he coached Everton, then Everton should have gotten a significant performance boost but that didn't happen to Everton. But apart from that, Real Madrid's gameplay even though they look like they only maximize the chance of a counter-attack, but Real Madrid doesn't look as if they are only focused on defending and they are indeed strong in midfield.
After beat Bilbao last weekend Atletico Madrid is really in the good shape because finally they were successfully taking over 3rd position from Bilbao and today against Rayo obviously they will used this match to get 3 points and they have ability to do that because on the paper Atletico very much better than Rayo and so far after defeated by Madrid on last month Atletico was never lose again at La Liga even they can able to get 3 wins from 3 matches so this proven they had successfully improved their performance and for today match Atletico win seems good choice and the odds for them is @1.59
But so far this season Atletico have been better when play away, even Atletico from five away matches are still unbeaten. It's different when Atletico play at home, from the four home matches Atletico have so far only won two and lost two. This record is a consideration for me which of course has to be wary of but indeed, Rayo Vallecano is not very good when playing away which is certainly a good opportunity for Atletico to increase their win ratio for home matches.
5908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: October 18, 2022, 03:48:13 PM
This league was always dominated by the Feyenoord and Lazio all the time.Lazio loss against the Midtjylland was not an expected one.Most of the team members thought Lazio will be the hero of the match.But Feyenoord also not able to make some good change against the Midtjylland.So it proved both the team was defend at the same level and the game of both team with same level.If this two grand masters made a game,they will draw the match with 2-2 for sure.



This league will become much more interesting than it already is as big teams will come soon here from the Champions League,every third team in the group stages of Champions League will come here and especially a great entry would be Barcelona.Lazio is a great team for the Europa League as they are also doing relatively well in the Serie A,then we have Manchester United and Arsenal from the Premier League here together with a couple of Spanish teams so it will become really beautiful this league in the near future.

So saying Feyenoord always dominate here against such teams does not make a lot of sense as there are much more powerful teams here and it will only get tougher.
@swogerino this is about group F but indeed, @usekevin doesn't seem exact because he just said (this League), not specifically linked it or said it about group F. So from what I understand it's not about Feyenoord overall dominating the Europa League, but just about group F. If you know, Feyenoord is the temporary leader of group F and Lazio are even in third place and also, all points in this group F are equal with each team having a total of 5 points so far.

Lazio had a different performance or maybe a different luck, because Lazio look better in Serie A but here in the Europa League they are not lucky enough. Because if I consider the opponents in Group F on paper, of course Lazio is a seeded team, but in fact Lazio still need a bigger effort to win the group because their opponents so far can provide difficult gameplay for Lazio.

For Union Berlin, I think it will be difficult to lose points because so far Union Berlin is still very strong and consistently winning in matches so that Union Berlin will be a team that will compete heavily with Bayern Munich this season.

For the next 5 Bundesliga matches, Union Berlin still has the potential to lead the standings by 4 points from Bayern in 2nd position, because there is no tough opponent in sight other than SC Freiburg who has the potential to give Union Berlin their second defeat this season.
While for Bayern, they must defend next week's win against Hoffenheim
Week 11 of the Bundesliga will still be interesting to watch as three teams Bayern, Freiburg and Hoffenheim ompete to reach the top of the standings.
Yes indeed, I also agree Union Berlin has the potential to be unbeaten for the next matches at least until they play against Bayern Munich. The point is that being unbeaten does not mean that Union Berlin will continue to win, because of course there will always be moments where they will get unlucky and can only end the match with a draw. But no one knows, and Union Berlin this season has indeed become a strong team that cannot be judged only from head to head records.
union berlin has a 4-point lead over Bayern and looks to union opponents ahead of union berlin's chances of winning big. union berlin this season reminds me of Napoli which made a big surprise. union berlin and Bayern have only lost 1 time, so the competition between them is very tight, Bayern must be able to maintain the consistency of their performance in the next match, union berlin will also not give up on Bayern.
About Union Berlin and Napoli for me this is something different, because Union Berlin this season is their fourth season playing in the Bundesliga because previously Union Berlin played in the 2. Bundesliga. But indeed, from year to year or season to season from the first time Union Berlin played in the Bundesliga, their performance continues to improve and it can be seen from their end of season position each season. The first season Union Berlin could end the season in 11th place, the next season ended the season in 7th place and then in 5th place. This season is the 4th season for Union Berlin and they managed to make a big surprise, and it is different with Napoli who every season indeed always compete at the top of the Serie A standings.

Although Liverpool can beat Manchester City but I don't think Liverpool this season is better than Manchester City, because Liverpool's performance is sometimes unstable which is of course difficult to predict. Even Liverpool often experience poor results when playing in European tournaments and also in the English Premier League against mediocre teams, and sometimes Liverpool get deadlocked to score goals. Vice versa, when Liverpool play against a top team, Liverpool can be perfect and that happened in yesterday's match against Manchester City. A result like this can happen at any time without anyone predicting it, even beforehand Manchester City could be held to a draw by Newcastle and also Aston Villa and that means, Manchester City are not too perfect to get consecutive wins and even though they have a terrible attacking line but it's not a guarantee too.
I have the same thought regarding Liverpool's inconsistency. Liverpool are indeed a strong and seeded team even before the season started. but the real problem of liverpool is that they can't be consistent in maintaining their best form. so indeed in every Liverpool match it is sometimes difficult to predict. and for now Manchester city is more consistent in maintaining their performance. But in these few games Liverpool have shown improvement in maintaining their performance. and it started with defeating the Rangers. and continued by defeating Man city. but I am a little doubtful whether Liverpool will continue to show consistency in maintaining their best performance in the next matches. but I hope Liverpool can continue to be consistent from now on. because it will add to the excitement in the premier league. and if you look at the standings, now many changes have started. and make every match in the premier league always full of surprises.
I say Liverpool's inconsistency was because Klopp set up a lineup very hard to achieve and left little error margin for the players. And talk about Liverpool's players, most ain't good either. They got lucky against Manchester City but really, I don't think they can go far with Klopp leading Liverpool like that. Some might think maybe this lineup and strats have a potential cause they won against Manchester City but like I said, just simply luck, a fluke. Better replace Klopp with a new coach cause they'll go nowhere.
Liverpool have been in impressive form over the past week and picked up a crucial 3points against Manchester City in the weekend. I saw a different Liverpool side against Manchester city and it shows that they’re in better form at the moment and should be able to win this Westham side. Does look like Salah has found his scoring boots and I’m tipping him continue the form. West Ham United have not been at their best so far this season so I don’t see them post any trouble for Liverpool.
Yes, after all, Liverpool don't need to fire Klopp because Liverpool's results have not been good this season, but Liverpool still has a chance to be able to compete in the top circle in the standings. Also, about Liverpool's inconsistency it doesn't just happen this season, because in my opinion even though Liverpool are at their best but sometimes they get deadlocked even when they play mediocre teams. So in my view Liverpool are still at a reasonable level so far, meaning they haven't had a very bad drop in performance.
I'm really looking forward to the game between Arsenal vs Man City which is still pending. The moment of the second game is quite important because so far Arsenal looks nothing like last season. Arteta made a complete overhaul that should be more attention by Pep Guardiola. Based on Man City's match with Liverpool, the presence of a defender who was able to block Haaland movement made Man City not move freely. Here it can be seen when Van Dijk guarded Haaland tightly. In addition to a balanced posture, it is clearly a plus point for Liverpool to have a defender like Van Dijk. Although a few matches ago Van Dijk's performance was not enough to give satisfaction.

Let's take a look, I'm also waiting for that. I don't know when it will be done. Indeed, when against Liverpool Haaland could not perform optimally. Van Djik managed to make it difficult for him to move.  But at that time De bruyne also did not play optimally so Liverpool managed to shut down Man city's creative midfielder. So I think Arsenal can replicate Liverpool's way of playing, but I think Arteta will understand his players better.
Yes, it's a shame the match was postponed and if not postponed I'm sure Arsenal will be able to put up a good fight and maybe win the match. But I don't know when the match will be held, I personally still believe Arsenal this season has the ability to beat Manchester City or at least a draw. I really admire Arsenal after they came back from last season, they can surprise the first minute of the match with a quick goal, even they can do it when playing against a top team too. So yes, if Arsenal are still at the top of the table when they play against Manchester City later, then of course it will be a very interesting match because at this moment they have a slightly widening gap.

It wouldn't be fair to blame Lewandowski entirely for the team's performance, it is a team game and when the team is not playing well you have to blame the entire team for it not just singling out one player to put blames on probably because he forced a move away from the club when he was needed. I believe he has that choice as every other player and has his reason so let’s be fair in our judgements if we must judge.
Benzema won UEFA Champion League trophy last year despite have dometic league and Lewandowski achievement with domestic league only and why he has settle second position on Ballon d'or announcement last night. Its have been fair the winner of Ballon d'or in this year what impressive performance from Benzema become top scorer at Champion League and domestic league, not any crucial announcement about the winner of Ballon d'or. Not blame with Lewandowski but on 2021 have controversial with  Lionel Messi the Ballon D'or winner than Lewandowski have collect many trophies than Messi.
We should also admit that Benzema did have a very big contribution to Real Madrid last season, whereas at first many doubted Real Madrid in the Champions League but Benzema was able to provide high achievements for Real Madrid. Therefore, Benzema deserves to win the Ballon d'Or and I think there is nothing to argue about because no other player has contributed as much as Benzema last season.

Moreover, Benzema is not young anymore but Banzema is still playing very well and indeed, Lewandowski is also old and was able to make a good contribution to Bayern Munich last season. But yes, Lewandowski cannot give more and higher titles like the Champions League to Bayern Munich so his assessment is still not enough to get him to win the Ballon d'Or.

Barcelona loves playing fancy and entertaining football which is not benefiting when you are losing or needs a win.They really played well but couldn't win the match.Real Madrid are goals hunters they believe more in scoring goals than ball possession. Playing at home also gave them an advantage which they made us of properly. Benzema is a wonderful striker,he has scored 12 goals and assisted 9 goals so far for Real Madrid against Barca in 37 matches in all competitions. 3-1 is a big win. In recent seven matches played between both clubs Madrid has win 6 out of 7 in all competitions.
It is one thing to play fancy football and another to win the game, when you play nice football and fail to create chances and convert them then everything worked for goes down the drain. As much as you have to play entertaining football you also have to win the games that is the beauty of it all when you entertain your supporters and sum it all with a win gives that extra excitement and that what every supporter wants, that is why they are supporting.
It seems that since Real Madrid was coached by Ancelotti, I think Real Madrid don't prioritize ball possession and they only prioritize the final result. No matter how high they play defensively to get a quick counter-attack, then they will. They also did this strategy in the Champions League last season to the final match, which in fact Real Madrid lost in statistics but they got a win at the end of the match. Until now they still apply that style of play, and it still works very well.

Apart from that match, today there will be another exciting match I guess, it is the match between Sevilla v Valencia. Where Sevilla who are slowly seems to have improved but whether Sevilla will still be able to win today's match, because Valencia is also not an easy opponent. But if I consider the head to head record then of course Sevilla will get a win, but because they have just recovered then I will doubt it a little but that doesn't mean I expect them to lose. Sevilla are still a good team in my opinion and of course they will be able to improve their performance and because of that, Sevilla will still have a chance to get points in this match.

Since Potter left the performance of Brighton seems has decline even on their last 3 matches Brighton was failed to get win but today they will fight against the teams who in the relegation position Nottingham Forest and this is good chances for them to get 3 points considering Nottingham Forest was very weak this season and playing at home Brighton should be unitized this match with very well and apparently they are the favourite in this match because the bookie provide low odds for them @1.42 and for Nottingham Forest i feel like they will tasted another losses today
Yes, even though Brighton played against Brentford yesterday I expected Brighton to win or at least draw with both teams to score. But Brighton lost even with a final score of 2-0 which of course, at least it was a defeat that should be more of a concern for them to immediately make improvements to keep their performances good. Also, regarding today's match which will be played against Nottingham of course it is an opportunity for Brighton to get points again. But, basically Brighton's position in the standings is still fine, I'm afraid the management won't make a quick move to get their performance back.
Finally, i hope that people will not be over reacted again with him. He was also a human like us. The performance from city and him can drop anytime and that's still remain unpredictable. The fact that once manchester city was facing a difficult team like liverpool and it was feeling so difficult to give a chance for him to make goal. In my opinion people who call him as a robot and making petition to ban him from EPL was just over reacting. Im actually believe if there will always be a team that can become even higher than city.
People were always forgetting this after seeing a striker that makes a lot of goals.
Agree. Liverpool's defense looked even better in that match. because even Haaland had a hard time getting a chance. and Manchester City's back line made a mistake so that the error gap could be exploited by M.Salah. and here we can see that Salah has good sharpness and accuracy. so that one mistake from Man City he can use to become a goal. and after losing to Liverpool then now people's assumptions are starting to change towards Man city. and Liverpool has now become not to be underestimated.

Liverpool's goal in this match was to share the points. They wanted a goalless draw. But they are very lucky to have managed to get the full 3 points. Liverpool was more focused on strengthening their defence in this match. Liverpool did not attack much in this match. But they had several good counterattacks. Alisson's assist was excellent. He is very clever. However, Liverpool's gameplay remained stable. And Liverpool managed to win this match because of the strong defence.
Although Liverpool can beat Manchester City but I don't think Liverpool this season is better than Manchester City, because Liverpool's performance is sometimes unstable which is of course difficult to predict. Even Liverpool often experience poor results when playing in European tournaments and also in the English Premier League against mediocre teams, and sometimes Liverpool get deadlocked to score goals. Vice versa, when Liverpool play against a top team, Liverpool can be perfect and that happened in yesterday's match against Manchester City. A result like this can happen at any time without anyone predicting it, even beforehand Manchester City could be held to a draw by Newcastle and also Aston Villa and that means, Manchester City are not too perfect to get consecutive wins and even though they have a terrible attacking line but it's not a guarantee too.

Napoli really demonstrated well in this match, because many people thought Bologna will win Napoli with many goals because of the early goal they achieved that made Napoli players to wake up to reposition themselves for the match. Napoli equalized the goals to prove to their fans that they have what it takes to achieve victory from the match, and Napoli achieved massive victory from Bologna to improve their points. I think, Napoli and Bologna are doing well in this season because the two teams are very strong in this tournament to stand in a good position to achieve something good at the end of the tournament.
Napoli are favorite to win the scudetto this season because they're ranked first on their league table with winning almost all their games this season. Napoli doing a comeback against Bologna wasn't a shock to me because I know fully well that in Diego Armando Marandona stadium, enough actions will continue to take place inother to prove to fans and haters that they're actively inform this season and there's absolutely nothing any team can do about it. The Parthenopeans boss, Luciano Spalleti all getting his team ready for tough games in both Seria A and the UEFEA.
I'm sure nobody thought Bologna would beat Napoli because their standings are like roof and bottom, lol. Also, even though Napoli conceded first but Napoli were able to reply in the first half, which meant there was no comeback. Because the term comeback will be appropriate if a team has trailed by more than two goals, and then that team can retaliate towards the end of the match. But what happened to Napoli even Napoli was only 0-1 down and was able to immediately reply and it doesn't seem right to say a comeback.
Sampdoria statistics looks better than Roma because after they conceded goals Sampdoria has attempts to control the match but although they had good ball possessions but it wasn't very effective even in the term of the opportunity to scoring goals Roma has better statistics because they can threat Sampdoria defense several times during the match but unfortunately there was no more goals happened until final whistle but this is important points for Roma because it can boosted their mentally and next weekend will be hard match for them because they have to faced Napoli
Although Roma managed to finish the match with a narrow victory thanks to Lorenzo Pellegrini goal in the 9th minute from a penalty kick, Roma overall performance in this match was very bad. This is luck for Roma because the only goal that was created in this match through the penalty spot.
Match statistics showed Sampdoria had more control over the match than Roma, Sampdoria managed to control the match with Ball Possession 59 versus 41. Due to poor finishing, Sampdoria had to admit Roma advantage.
This defeat made Sampdoria position even worse at the bottom of the standings, Sampdoria had only collected three points from 10 matches that had been undertaken.
Considering that Sampdoria are currently at the bottom of the table, a 1-0 win for Roma is like a result that is not optimal, it still won't be good for Roma for the next match against Napoli. What's more is that the Derby della Sole match at this moment Napoli is certainly better prepared and better to get a win. So yeah, I personally don't see Roma's result against Sampdoria boosting their morale, because I think Roma are under pressure which will certainly be difficult to beat Napoli.

Marseille is still not strong enough at least to hold PSG to a draw, because Ligue 1 belongs to PSG because so far only PSG are unbeaten. But even though PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1, PSG is still not easy to beat its opponents, at least it is evident from the wins that PSG do not always win with a wide gap. Therefore, maybe that is also one of the obstacles that PSG are not too favorites for the Champions League title but apart from that, PSG is still a strong team that must be watched out for in the Champions League as well.

It looks like the Lazio v Udinese match will be a tough match, which was previously projected to have many goals due to their productivity so far. But after the match started and towards the end of the first half, this match was still a 0-0 draw and it looks like they are pretty even in the statistics. I personally didn't expect this match to end in a goalless draw, at least with the performance they had they should be able to have some goals to prove their consistency this season.
They played a good strategy both of them understood that guarding each other's players who had the potential to score goals so that both defenses were very difficult to penetrate so that it made the game a draw, Even so Lazio tried several times to put pressure on Udinese but they still struggled to penetrate it.
The two were very evenly matched, or maybe they didn't play so openly that there wasn't really any chance of scoring. Indeed, there is no problem with this draw but we expect too much for them because they are on fire, so a goalless draw is an unpredictable result. But with this draw, it certainly saw Milan overtake them for third place and now, they have to fight for one place for the Champions League zone but the league is still long and anything can happen.

How much or how much have you used such a method, once, twice, three times or is it just a theory? If you have used this method so often, believe me you will eventually lose it all. Also, if you do this method you are required to have a lot of capital, because if your capital is only a little you will not be able to continue. But how much capital you have in the end you will only lose it all, I have tried it many times with varying capital but still I always lack capital because of course you will not be able to stop until you get the green color.

I'm sure no one thought Alisson would make assists for Salah's goal, in important matches like this Alisson does sometimes make very good contributions for Liverpool. I remember maybe in the last two seasons if I'm not mistaken I forgot exactly, but at that moment Liverpool needed a goal and Alisson got the goal that was needed in the last minute of the match. Then at this moment Alisson again made a big contribution to Liverpool's goals because Manchester City really dominated the match, but Liverpool could defend well until they finally won. With this result Arsenal will certainly become more comfortable at the top of the table, I hope Arsenal can be consistent until the end of the season so that the English Premier League gets the title holder by a different team.

Wow Union Berlin can win at half time with 2-0 and amazingly again, both goals were made by Janik Haberer who basically this player is not an active player in scoring goals. Maybe this is part of their tactics where the midfielder is given the opportunity to be the finishing touch, but apart from the tactics and strategy Union Berlin really can't be underestimated this season. Winning 2-0 at half time against Dortmund was not an easy job, but Union Berlin can do it and it looks like they will be able to keep this win until the end of the match.

Newcastle have really developed a lot so far, they don't have many star players yet but they can have a good performance. If Newcastle can end the season for a european tournament like they can finish in the Europa League zone or maybe in the Europa Conference League zone, then I'm sure next season Newcstle will really have a star player they will sign. Interesting to look forward to, I am very optimistic that Newcastle with rich owners can completely change so that these top Premier League teams have a tougher and tougher competition.
