I think the Mbappe issue is still unknown to the public because Real Madrid was looking for Mbappe last season and they failed to get him, and again this season they also do the same; they start looking for him to replace their weak position, which is the striking position, so I think if Mbappe's contract expires with Real Madrid this season, I don’t think he will renew it; he will want to go back to Real Madrid. The fact that Real Madrid really needs someone like Mbappe to replace their striking position made me think that they will do everything they can to get him during the transfer window.
Maybe it won't come true because Mbappe always gives false hope to Real Madrid. Mbappe might even extend his contract again, of course that could happen. Last season there was no offer from Real Madrid for Mbappe, it could be that Real Madrid have dropped Mbappe name from their target. I think Real Madrid would be better off tempting Martinez from Inter Milan because he also has quite good quality, even Mertinez is still young and can be prioritized for the long term.

It could even be that Ancelotti will bring in a player who is not well known and he will turn him into one of the best strikers. For this reason, Real Madrid management will not be in a hurry with well-known players who have high prices, they will look for players who have hidden talents for by Ancelotti to polish as strikers who are productive in scoring goals.
It seems like Real Madrid are starting to be disappointed with Mbappe treatment because he always gives false hope, even before Mbappe was always linked with Real Madrid, but in the end he sign a new contract with PSG. It seems that Real Madrid will not have high hopes for Mbappe for fear of experiencing disappointment again, but if Mbappe he has already explained thats he will not extend his contract with PSG I think Real Madrid takes action to bring Mbappe to the club. So I think rumor of Mbappe going to Real Madrid will still exist if the two of them have not made a definite agreement.

I don't think Inter Milan will let Martinez go because Martinez is an important player that Inter Milan currently has, especially as Inter is fighting to win the Scudetto and Martinez presence is very important to strengthen Inter Milan front line, so I think Anceloti should think about other names which makes it possible for them to bring into the Real Madrid main squad, whether it's an unknown or famous player, I believe Ancelotti can definitely handle these players.

Any rumore related to the martinez was obviously fake and he has been also confirming that if martinez was willing to stay in intermilan even longer. The club really needs him as a goal machine and no doubt if lautaro martinez linked to the several clubs but he has a very strong commitment to play in intermilan. this proves that if the club is trying so hard to make sure everything is going right. In fact, martinez is feeling so happy to play in the intermilan. I see no reason for the club to let him leave from the club.
If Inter Milan allows him to leave, it would be yet another foolish decision, especially when Martinez himself has expressed his unwillingness to leave. It is perplexing why people feel the need to create false rumors and pressure him to depart.

Lautaro martinez is the main weapon owned by interimlan. I think that any rumore about him to be linked with other club can be considered as fake news. It's caused by it will never happen.

Brighton were slight favorites to win the match but the team, plagued with injury and Mitoma being called up for the Asian Games, they weren't really on their full squad. Brighton still created many chances but couldn't capitalize on any. Had 8 shots on target and 3 big chances missed, just couldn't get on the scoring sheet. West Ham won their previous match while being away to Arsenal, their fans would have expected another positive result and honestly, a draw even though hampers their chances to get into European football spots, still is a fairly good result as they looked outclassed by Brighton.

At first I favored West Ham because their last match was very impressive but apparently they didn't put in much effort in this match instead Brighton controlled the match with ball possession and shots unfortunately there were no goals, I assume this is just an unlucky day for Brighton. A draw does not change the position of the two teams in the standings West Ham and Brighton need more effort to catch Tottenham at least 5 more points are needed while Manchester United and Newcastle are stuck in positions 8-9 these 5 clubs are fighting to get tickets to the European league.
West Ham United and Brighton shared a point as the match ended in a goalless draw. Brighton performed better and had opportunities to win the game. However, they lacked clinical finishing and couldn't break through the defense of the opposing team. It seemed like they were content with a draw at home. Currently sitting in 7th place, it's a decent position for them at this stage of the season!
Brightron performing so badly in this game. The club was unable to break the defensive line of westham even though westham was always let brighton to attack. Zerbi's strategi can be countered easily through using the defensive strategy like that.
Im not feeling doubt caused by the performance from brighton was declining a lot since the early season. It's not the same like last season when people are feeling so damn good with it.

Zerbi needs to re evaluate his strategy again caused by it will not be effective once zerbi will face defensive team like westham. This is also the main problem occured in the manchester city since guardiola was also almost using the same strategy like zerbi,
Westham has made a few chances but the club unable to create effective counter attack that was helping the club to secure three points from brighton.

Brighton needs to accept draw as the result and many people were not predicting this caused by we do know how westham was able beating arsenal

What do you think? Can Madrid afford to rely on limited players? By facing a busy schedule, players are definitely required to remain in top condition. Isn't it ideal that having anticipation could be a solution? Next month restarts the UCL and Madrid doesn't take advantage of the transfer window?
I think Ancelotti might be too confident if he doesn't recruit more players for his extremely thin defensive line. Perhaps they are putting all their efforts into the Mbappe deal, and they also want the media to pay more attention to this deal. In the coming time, we might hear about additional names for the defensive line because I don't think Real Madrid will perform well with just center-backs Nacho, Rudiger, and the makeshift defender Aurelien Tchouameni until the end of the season, especially in the Champions League matches.
The defensive line of real madrid was not as bad as you think. Real madrid have been concering goals against the strong clubs and this is a common thing and it doesn't even mean recruit the new player will become the main answer to strengthen the defenders of real madrid. There shall be a lot of considerations to be taken before try to recruit the new player. It's caused by you are also gambling with the performance from the player as well. I remind you how real madrid lost a lot when it was getting hazard from chelsea. Recruiting the new player doesn't mean if he can play good in the squad in a short time.

There will always be process to make it happen and new player needs to pass it step by step. You shall need to understand the condition if your team. Adding someone in the club sometimes can give bad effect to your team as well
This may be the main reason why ancellotti was never rushing to get a new player. It's caused by he was always thinking about it many times. Ancellotti is not the same like other coach which was blindly buying the player then they got scammed.

I confess that I expected PSG to be signing great players to compensate in case Mbappe left the team, but I saw this news:
You are right because one of the things a club must not do is to depend on one player to survive because if eventually the player sustain injury or left the club it could be very difficult for the club to perform, so however we no that PSG is a very strong team with a great potential but however depending on one player for a victory in every of there matches is not good, so perhaps since Mbappe is a bright player with a lot of good quality, so what PSG suppose to do is to sign more capable player that can possibly perform the way he does and the earlier is better, besides with the financial status of PSG they are not supposed to be depending on one player because they have all the resources to afford any player they want.
PSG was looking for a new winger cuased by the situation was forcing the club to do that. You could also try to browse the old news said that how PSG was willing to recruit the new winger after it was failed to convince mbappe to stay in PSG by extending his contract.
That being said that if mbappe was the main target by PSG. The situation is forcing the club to search a new winger. This makes enrique need to make sure the new winger can adapt as soon as possible caused by someone who understood the club so much is going to leave soon.

Im not seeing this as a serious problem but im still concerning about how long time will be taken by the new winger to adapt to the gameplay of PSG. Mbappe was one of best winger in this decade and the new player was nothing.
this is why the main reason PSG was trying so hard to hold mbappe stay in PSG but the club was failed to do that caused by mbappe is not having motivation to play in the PSG anymore.

If Mbappe's goal is to win the Champions League, it is natural that he will move to a club that has a greater chance of winning, such as Manc City, Real Madrid, Munich or Barcelona.
However, the one who really needs a pure striker right now is Real Madrid. And we know Real Madrid is the defending champion for the Champions League. He has a big chance if he joins there to win the championship.
How many times have he and PSG been defeated by these clubs in the preliminary round. I have to be honest, PSG's chances of winning the Champions League are still very far away compared to the clubs I mentioned earlier.
I think only Real Madrid, Man City, and Bayern Munich that have bigger chance to win UCL title. I'm sorry I exclude Barcelona because it seems hard for Barcelona to win UCL title with their current condition. Mbappe should move to those 2 teams/clubs if he wants to have a good chance to win UCL title in the future. However, I think Real Madrid is still the best team in UCL which already wins more titles over other teams. Real Madrid also has a great coach and potential players to be stronger clubs in the future.

PSG will be always difficult to win UCL title because they have no proper mentality to win it. PSG has no player who can influence other players to play consistently during the match. It is the role of the captain team or the senior players who have a lot of experienced in the competition.


I agree with you that Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich are the favorite clubs to win the uefa champions league this year, but let's not write other clubs off because the uefa champions league has a way of changing clubs' winning mentality when it gets to the knockout stage.

Those three shall always be mentioned as the strongest team to win the competition. Im not willing to deny that caused in fact if those teams are having the highest power in the UCL this time. Let's say that there have been some names who have not been mentioned in that list but im sure those clubs are the only clubs that potentially to dominate the competitions. It's caused hot we do know that so well how UCL mostly dominated by real madrid, manchester city or even bayern.

There are only a few clubs include city, munich and real madrid that have winning mentality. We forgot to mention intermilan which has become runner up last season and it's still performing so good this season.
It's unlikely intermilan will able to lose in the top 16. Intermilan potentially to repeat the same mistake last season when it was losing against manchester city.

I don't really believe if this time UCL will be owning by the medium tier club. It's caused by the high tier club like madrid and bayern munich are reaching their peak performance.

FCBInside, a site that is usually very well informed about FC Bayern, reports that Xabi Alonso is to succeed Thomas Tuchel after Real Madrid extended Angelotti's contract. Although Alonso still has a contract with Leverkusen until 2026, he would be free to leave the club if he could move to one of his former clubs. It could be as early as the summer if Tuchel does not achieve the goals that are expected of him.

Source: https://fcbinside.de/2023/12/31/trainer-beben-in-muenchen-xabi-alonso-will-offenbar-zum-fc-bayern/

That's going to happen only if xabi will be agreed to join in the bayern munich but it's not yet clear whether alonso was willing to leave from leverkusen before his contract will end. Im doubting xabi to leave from leverkusen earlier if he will able to get a lot of achievements with leverkusen.
So, bayern has prepared itself to sack tuchel once he will not be able to deliver for the club this season? that's a harsh hand from bayern. Tuchel may be in a very big pressure at this moment. It seems his position is not yet safe at all.

Did kane's transfer give another burden to him? I meant since bayern has spent a lot of money and the club needs the manager to deliver more for bayern. Another big challenge is awaiting him.

He was dumped by Chelsea, then Roma took him and turned him into a dangerous winger in Serie A and after that he returned to the EPL but with a different club until finally making Mohammed Salah enter the list of the top 5 top scorers in one EPL club. Who would have thought he would do it with Liverpool and since wearing the Liverpool uniform in 2017 until now he has collected 151 goals in the EPL. In last night's match against Newcastle he scored a brace and at the same time led Liverpool to victory again at Anfield.

I think Mohammed Salah has become a legend for the Reds and even though his teammates like Mane and Firminho have left before him, he still stays at Liverpool to continue the tradition. Even Jurgen Kloop will be very disadvantaged if he loses Mohammed Salah and he still needs time to find a successor to Mohammed Salah at Liverpool. An achievement we rarely see and huge appreciation for Mohammed Salah for reaching this level.

There would always be good and bad things. Chelsea has decided it caused by the club has been consider it so many times. There shall not be a party who regret it. Chelsea had chosen its own way while salah did it too.
I don't know what are you feeling contradicted with it? Chelsea was still able winning a lot of trophies even without then salah was also getting his golden time when liverpool won UCL with him too.

There will always be pros and cons in any decision taken by the club. Chelsea was not only considering it his performance in the short term but the club needs also to think about the future of team as well.
Chelsea was still able getting UCL, EPL and europa league after that. The club shall never feel regret to let him leave caused by it was giving huge impact to the performance of chelsea a few years ago. AFAIK, chelsea won EPL after salah joined in the roma.

I am only waiting for one thing to happen at Manchester United and I have expressed it quite many times which is when the hell is Ten Haag going to be expelled and fired from the team management.What is the management of Manchester United waiting for to come on woth a decision no matter that is the end of year something should be taken care of.Really disappointing seeing Manchester United degrading such far

I agree with you I want Manchester United management to sack Eric Tenhaag.
But actually achievement is a process, even arsenal with its coach mikel arteta in his first season only ranked 8th. can not bring to European competition even the conference league can not. but now arsenal is a team that is always in the strong candidates for league champions every season.

There are some clubs that must sack their coaches

The two clubs that must be mentioned are Manchester United and Newcastle, both of which have shown a horrific performance that is not even worthy of being watched. There have been many complaints came to the ten hag but he being so careless with all of complaints from the fans.

People were overhyped once hojlund was scoring his first goal for united and what's next now? They were once again missing three points which making us feel so disappointed with it.

In every game, Ten Hag consistently modifies the strategy, demonstrating his adaptability and willingness to experiment. However, it is unfortunate that some perceive this coach negatively. In fact, ten hag does something useless by changing the strategy anytime.

He was putting antony as a starting line up instead of garnacho which was a stupid decision. Manchester united shall not try to keep that shit much longer in the club. Ten hag never gave positive vibes in the club.

It makes players being so stressful.

Xabi Alonso is one of the managers who are being followed closely this season. Because he has a great chemistry with Leverkusen and this is seen not only in the Bundesliga but also the Europa League. They are definitely a serious contender for the Europa League championship now.  Smiley  I can't say they are a bigger favourite than Liverpool in fact.

But it is all up to how much tryhard Liverpool will be in later rounds. If we see some weaknesses in their performance then balances can change quite much.

A finale between Liverpool and Leverkusen would be amazing but we will see.  Smiley

I hope so but the chance is pretty small for that final to happen caused by leverkusen and liverpool needs to pass all of obstacles first. We do know that if europa league is now having so many strong clubs and they will be playnig soon to determine which clubs that have been qualified for the europa league last of 16. Liverpool's dominance in the English Premier League is evident through their continuous winning streak, showcasing their exceptional performance. No doubt that if liverpool has very high standard on its gameplay compared to the other europa league right now.
It has become my main reason to call liverpool will be very dominant in the europa league this time. The lost against toulouse was nothing rather than a way for klopp to give his young players time to adapt with the situation in the europa league.
If Liverpool desires, they can achieve consistent victories in the game, however, Klopp decided to provide valuable experience to the young players by allowing them to participate in the Europa League, regardless of the unfavorable results, which is not considered a problem in any way.

Arsenal performance is dropping lately, and they haven’t been able to win any match in there last 3 matches played, they  had draw which was against Liverpool and they lose to west ham and Fulham, decrease in there performance is just kind of surprising, actually people have predicted it that what happened to Arsenal last season will repeat itself this season, but i think it’s too early to say that, actually there is already a sign, because I never expected Arsenal to lose to Fulham, let’s see how Arsenal will perform in there next match, if they can’t secure a win in there next match, then I think Arsenal might be out of the premier league fight.
Arsenal lost to Fulham, a shock to everyone right? I don't belief they would lose to any competitive mediocre club this season, not when they're in for good shape to win significant matches, it's rather dissappointing for Arsenal to fall out of race to achieve their main targets, really poor expectations from the club. The overhyped Arsenal is now struggling to win matches, not just any game but against mediocre clubs, it's absurd. Mikel Arteta might be queried by the board because the situation is blowing out of hand and there's something really messy about the club.
Fulham was not a mediocre club. It has good quality of squad. That's pretty much the same like chelsea which was struggling to go up. As long as fulham keep to play with the same strategy against other team and im sure fulham can get another three points in the next game.
People were overhyped arsenal coz it was finished at the second place last seaon but this time is kinda different as there have been some clubs were coming up. The club like aston villa and totenham made the competitions become even stricter than before.

Well, it's hard to accept if arsenal should be losing against fulham but arsenal deserves it caused by all of its attackers were so wasteful in upfront. They were not able adding another goal, and this is so crazy.
Arsenal's inability to maintain consistency has once again resulted in a disaster for Arteta, who might soon witness his club being left without any trophies. There will lots of haters gonna be mocking this club again if arsenal will end the season without even a singtle trophy

651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 01, 2024, 10:57:33 AM
Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen are my two favorite teams in the European League this season. If asked to compare Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, Liverpool would be ahead in all aspects for me. This season Liverpool has become an unstoppable team and they have won most of the matches of the season. They seem to be dominating both the English Premier League or the European League.  Liverpool have been consistent this season and their performances look like they will be able to maintain this consistency until the end of the season. If they can finally stay in the rhythm that Liverpool are in, they will surely win the Europa League title this season.
The way Liverpool is talking about the upcoming season is incredibly impressive to me because they are doing well in both Europe and the Premier League. They maintain their consistency, and I feel that if they can keep it up until the end of the season, they will be able to accomplish good results. They will win the season if they maintain their consistency. Because their performance will determine their victory, and they are currently in good form, my prediction is that they will  be the winner of season.


It's something common for a club like liverpool. When you called your team as one of best team in the world and how can you try to abandon one competition for other competition? City has given the best example if world class player must think about to make sure the club is not exhausted and they can give their best performances in all of the competitions. It seems rather odd that a team renowned for their excellence would opt to abandon one competition in favor of another.

It would never happen. The more trophies the win and the higher praise you got. This is how the world class team is working right now. The club needs to prove its quality by winning any competitions that are available. Liverpool is just trying its best.
It's caused by there were two ways to be qualified for the UCL, through EPL or europa league. So, this totally depends on which way is choosen by liverpool.

My preference is for Klopp's team to emerge victorious in all competitions, without any distinction or effort to differentiate between them.

Considering that we're playing above expectations and are on top of the PL, I wonder whether we're looking at some defensive additions in January.
Matip is out, Gomez has been inconsistent at best, Quansah is still too young and has played just a handful of games and we're still without Robertson.

We're one injury from a defensive nightmare, and we have to invest there in the summer anyway. I know it's hard to do good business in January, but I'd prefer that we at least give it a try.

Alexis Mac Allister and Thiago are injured. Moreover, Liverpool have had problems in midfield since last season. Liverpool must make good use of the winter transfer window. They are the leaders this season. Unlike last season's misfortune, they are having a good season. There were reports in the press that they were interested in Fulham's João Palhinha. I think it would be good for them to sign 2 midfielders and 1 defender in the winter transfer window. They have to do that if they want to stay in the championship race.
João Palhinha was transfered from Sporting to Fulham on 2022 but he can adapt quickly with Fulham and he was being an Fulham key player because during this season he was displayed consistent performance and as holding midfielder Palhinha also sometimes scored important goals and help Fulham to get the winning results so i am not surprised if some of big teams were showing their interest to him and since last summer he was linked to several clubs because the teams just like Liverpool, Bayern Munich and the latest is Manchester United was attempts to bought him

Last summer Liverpool was atempts to bought Palhinha from Fulham but Liverpool was failed to gets him because Fulham didn't allowed Palhinha to moved to other teams so that's why Liverpool switched their target to other player and eventually they bought Wataru Endo from Stuttgart and actually this rumour was appears since last month but recently it is confirmed that Liverpool will not bought Palhinha this winter because they already spend a lot of money last summer but other teams just like Manchester United still attempts to gets him again this winter
Liverpool needs to think about its balance sheet as well. FSG has been giving klopp a lot of money in the summer transfer season. It's not possible anymore for FSG to give him more money caused by FSG was waiting for his club to deliver.
This may become the main reason why klopp was not talking so much about the winter transfer season, we do know that if liverpool is only trying to create a better chemistry between its players. There will be no more new player to come soon.
Diogo jota has become favorite player of jurgen klopp. Klopp was consistently impressed by his performance. Liverpool is good enough to win the trophy with the current performance of club.

Marseille can't be competitive for top 3 in the league so far unlike the previous season. They weren't able to stay in the title competition previously maybe but they at least earned the last Champions League ticket by finishing as third. This season the Ligue 1 has gained an extra spot for the Champions League group stage so being even fourth is enough to have a chance for the Champions League by qualifiers.
Marseille is still out from the top 5 at this moment and i expect this club to enter into the top 5 as soon as possible. Seeing the result from the last five games made me think that if marseille will able to qualify for UCL soon. as long as it can keep up with the current performance then the chance for marseille to enter into the top 5 is very big right now. Marseille is in the right track to win the UCL spot at the end of this season. It's caused by the club is performing really well and it keeps continue. Marseille is just gettng even closer to reach the top 5 at this time.
I expect marseille to take the fifth place at the end of this month. marseille is performing very well and i hope it keeps continue.

But Marseille's performance at the beginning of this season wasn't good at all. They newly started to maintain a solid form but we will see in the long run. The competition for the Champions League is likely to be really fierce this season.
Marseille is just getting better result this time. It is pleasing to note that the management has made a proactive decision to address the factors that were significantly impacting the club's performance. It seems changing the coach was quite effective to make marseille to perform even better.
I just noticed it now that if marseille got several won in a row which is unbelivable thing for me. I had the impression that Marseille would never improve and would continue to be at the bottom of the standings.

Arsenal getting exposed right, left, and center. With the low scoring forwards they have, I don't think they will be able to compete for the title vs. City. Forget about the defense, they are clearly lacking a-25-goals-a-season center forward

Liverpool also have a disadvantage with Salah going to the AFCON. If City don't come out by the end of January at the top of the table, I will be very surprised.

Liverpool will be without Salah.

West Ham United will be without Kudus, Fulham without Alex Iwobi and also Calvin Bassey.
Manchester United will be without Onana. I feel like it's time to drop Onana anyways. He's conceded fifty goals since joining Manchester United.

These are the little few I know dominating in the Premier League that'll be leaving their clubs for the African Cup of Nations Competitions.

Hopefully gunner's will make good signatures and fight back them way to the top. They should have learnt enough lessons from last season failures.

The management needs to kick ten hag out of the club. It's a subject that people mock and joke about. it has been shocking for people to see how MU was bottling it anytime. The bad performance from onana became the main problem here but you shall not also forget that if ten hag was the main reason why MU played so badly here. Numerous players are going to the AFCON and it is another opportunity for the club like manchester city which is seeing salah will out for AFCON. fifty goals were a lot for what people called as world class goal keeper.

Onana was fucken shit!. Arsenal is mentally destroyed after two losses in a row. Even rice is not willing to see the current standing as he stated that tonight. Arsenal may lose a chance to compete for the title race.
Another bad story is going to happen with arsenal, im not putting a lot of expectation for this club coz we do know that so well how arsenal was always doing bottle job at the end of season but it never stops.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

A part from that mate you know that was the best that arsenal could have out on the pitch. That is the result that must be accepted by the fans. Nketiah was not ready to play and he is shit!

I'd still rate Andrea Onana a class goalkeeper even with his recent poor run at goal. Ask Pep Guardiola and he knows well that Andrea Onana is a great Goalkeeper everyday everytime. Besides the team mentality has been bruised we saw that last season with Chelsea as it affected even the best players for them.
It's for the past but not now. Chelsea is running in the same way as manchester united chelsea is a bit better caused by the club knew how to recruit a good goal keeper. Im not talking about some players like mudryk or even caicedo which are flop in chelsea.
Manchester united really needs to sign the new goal keeper as soon as possible. It will be a disaster if ten hag keeps put onana as starting line up.

Rice was the only direct player in midfied. Club Captain Odegaard looks tired same goes with Saka. He should be making runs into the eighteen yard box not behaving same way like Marcus Rashford. They're not been direct this season, I be wondering how they want to win the Euro's this way with England.
Rice was good but it's not with his team mate. he has been trying so hard to help arsenal to score but gabriel and nketiah are the problem here. They lost their ability as good strikers.
Shall arsenal recruit toney from brentford? It's pretty interesting to see toney will play for arsenal. I hope arteta considers this option too. Martinelli, odegaard or even trossard, all of these players are still underperform.
They are very different compared to the last season.


Nketiah made good runs Arsenal just paid attention to too many passes without have a direct plan to chase goal until the last moments of the game.
Nketiah is always being so wasteful and clueless. I don't know the reason why he got a place in the club.

These are the little few I know dominating in the Premier League that'll be leaving their clubs for the African Cup of Nations Competitions.

Hopefully gunner's will make good signatures and fight back them way to the top. They should have learnt enough lessons from last season failures.

The management needs to kick ten hag out of the club. It's a subject that people mock and joke about. it has been shocking for people to see how MU was bottling it anytime. The bad performance from onana became the main problem here but you shall not also forget that if ten hag was the main reason why MU played so badly here. Numerous players are going to the AFCON and it is another opportunity for the club like manchester city which is seeing salah will out for AFCON. fifty goals were a lot for what people called as world class goal keeper.

Onana was fucken shit!. Arsenal is mentally destroyed after two losses in a row. Even rice is not willing to see the current standing as he stated that tonight. Arsenal may lose a chance to compete for the title race.
Another bad story is going to happen with arsenal, im not putting a lot of expectation for this club coz we do know that so well how arsenal was always doing bottle job at the end of season but it never stops.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

A part from that mate you know that was the best that arsenal could have out on the pitch. That is the result that must be accepted by the fans. Nketiah was not ready to play and he is shit!

Currently, we have some teams in good form like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and that's why I think with the current situation from all teams in the Champions League, these teams got more chance to win the title than all the other teams, Manchester City won the tournament in the last season and they had a coach like Guardiola in their teams but that's not ag good reason to as they can have more chance because in the recent games we saw from this team, they had disappointing performance compared to their performance we saw in the last season.


I agree that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich the main candidate to win the Champions League trophy but never ignore Manchester City because currently Manchester City is ready to compete with anyone after their mainstay player Kevin de Bruyne has recovered from injury. How bad Manchester City played in the previous match could not be used as a reference because the match was without Kevin de Bruyne, I think these 3 teams will go to the semifinals and we still need one more team, who is more appropriate to be there?
I strongly believe on Real Madrid and if possible Bayern Munich than Manchester city because, their performance is far below that of last season. Manchester city has only won two matches recently and nobody knows if they can still have that best performance that we know them for.
City has perfect result in the champion league. The result in EPL doesn't even matter so much for the club, there were some stories about the club which has bad performance in the domestic league was able winning UCL like chelsea.
There's no need to feel panic caused by manchester city is still find. In his pursuit to find a replacement for de Bruyne, Pep is in the process of searching for a skilled attacking midfielder. Despite Real Madrid and Munich being recognized as the strongest teams, it is worth noting that Manchester City is at a comparable level to them, even in the absence of Haaland and De Bruyne.

Real Madrid has been playing consistent in their matches and they will be able to crush any team that comes their way. Manchester city relies on few players and their absence affected their performance, but Real Madrid has injured players that I will say are somehow their key players but that didn't affect their performance in their matches that they played
It is the strongest team right now. Real madrid potentially gets additional bullet to fill the number 9. it will be so baffling if real madrid will able to get a good name to fill that position. im sure that ancellotti is going to announce which name that will fill number 9 position.
Real madrid needs a good striker to fill it. It will surprise us if real madrid will try to someone like osimhen to join in the club. The key is real madrid has so many players that have equal performance.

There's no need to feel worry once real madrid got one of its player was injured.

Juventus won because of their strong defense. The performance of Roma team players was not bad. Juventus played really well, while the performance of the Roma team was also quite good. However, Roma could not score any points in this match. Allegri's match strategy is excellent. He knows very well that Juventus are not strong enough in attack. So he did not try to play much attacking strategy. After Rabiot scored in the 47th minute, Juventus focused on keeping their defense tight. And in the end a narrow 1-0 win for Juventus and 3 points. Juventus team is still 2 points behind Inter Milan.
I see that the typical game of the two teams this season is not much different, Juventus and Roma are two teams that have good defense and also after scoring a goal they will play a little defensively and that was clearly visible in this match.
Juventus' victory is not surprising because overall Juventus has had a fairly consistent performance this season with a fairly balanced team game even though they didn't score many goals, but they achieved 3 points and they were able to maintain that quite effectively.

You are right. Both teams played well. I would  say juventus were lucky so  they managed to get 3 points. Although  I expected to see the  victory of Juventus in this match.  Because Juventus' squad is stronger  than Roma's in comparison. However  if we had seen a better  performance from Lukaku in this match, maybe the result  of the match would have been different. Dybala's performance was good enough in this match, but Lukaku did not play well. We didn't see much of Lukaku's presence in the entire match either.

Juventus is not lucky, but it's strong. Just caused by it was winning with narrow score but it doesn't mean luck is always the reason why juventus was winning the game. Juventus played even better against roma. Look at how roma was not able making a lot of goal attempts against juventus and this has proving how good juventus is right now. Old lady is truly showing who is the boss now in serie a even though it's still placed in the second place but it's not even far from intermilan. The defensive line of Juventus is operating flawlessly, making it nearly impossible for any club to score against them, with the exception of Inter Milan. Allegri is very successful in building back juventus again after it has got lots of attacks last season. Juventus is ready to take what it must be taken last season from napoli. I can';t even imagine when juventus will be having a better striker than vlahovic.
It will be so crazy to see juventus to win the competition again this season. Old lady is coming back to the UCL next year.

Im waiting for another surprise from allegri as he said that in the past if he is willing to buy the new striker for juventus and im wondering who is going to be the next striker of juventus.
Several names may be considered but it's not disclosed by the coach.

Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen are my two favorite teams in the European League this season. If asked to compare Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, Liverpool would be ahead in all aspects for me. This season Liverpool has become an unstoppable team and they have won most of the matches of the season. They seem to be dominating both the English Premier League or the European League.  Liverpool have been consistent this season and their performances look like they will be able to maintain this consistency until the end of the season. If they can finally stay in the rhythm that Liverpool are in, they will surely win the Europa League title this season.
We should never for once look down on clubs that are not playing like pro clubs in the system, we have what we call luck and that easily triggers good energy for these average clubs to participate to the very last phase of the competition, anything can happen. Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the strongest and most consistent teams in the Europa League currently. But let's not be too surprised if at the end of the tournament, we don't see any of these teams winning the title. Who might know, these average clubs have chances of also winning the Europa League.
That's true and I agree with you and I have also seen many surprises occur in the Europa League in previous seasons so it is not impossible that surprises will also occur this season.
It cannot be denied that the strength of Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen this season is quite good and is above the average of other teams, but in the know-out round it is not impossible that they will be eliminated in a surprising way.
It's not that I don't like Liverpool and Bayern Leverkusen, but I won't give them too much preference to win the Europa League, the journey is still quite long and anything is still possible.

If you ask me, I think it is almsot safe to say that we will see some surprises this season as we have seen surprises in other seasons. It rarely goes according to plan from the first to the last game in any competition. We are seeing surprises in all leagues these days and I doubt that all the favorites will go from one round to the next without any issues. Some of them will have some problems and I am sure we will also lose some along the way in the Europa League. In the end it is also about the drawings and whether they meet in the next round already.

The primary task that each team must accomplish is to navigate through a multitude of obstacles, which serves as the main problem they need to overcome. Liverpool and leverkusen are still holding the biggest probability to win the competition. The story in the europa league is much more dramatic compared to the UCL just like last season when sevilla was back-to-back winning europa league trophy again. It's unbelivable to see that sevilla which rarely talked by members here were able, moving up and winning the competition. I personally took liverpool as my favorite to win the match but im feeling that another unpredictable story is going to happen soon. Some clubs need to pass the challenge to face some stron clubs which were dropping from UCL. Roma may also fail to go to the next round. While it is challenging to foresee the winning team in the upcoming competition, I am convinced that Liverpool, given their extensive experience, stands a better chance of winning. Liverpool is too strong in europa league and it's still over power compared with other clubs. Liverpool can win the trophy easily.

I agree with you. When a new coach is appointed, it takes time for the players to develop a friendly relationship with the coach and for the players to adapt to the coach's match strategy. Real Madrid management does not want to take this risk at the moment. Because Real Madrid management knows very well that their squad is not strong enough this season. Real Madrid are consistently playing well only because of Ancelotti's excellent match tactics and strong midfield. So hiring a new coach at this moment would have increased the chances of Madrid's performance deteriorating. Madrid boss Florentino Pérez is very experienced. He knows very well what his club needs. And extending Ancelotti's contract until 2026 was a smart decision by the Madrid management.
Ancelotti has proven that he is a quite successful coach so it is only natural that Real Madrid will continue to retain him.
Real Madrid still really needs the experience that Ancelotti has to be able to create or develop this team to be much better in the long term to come.
Ancelotti's project of continuing to create or build the Real Madrid squad with young players currently looks quite successful, I think that is a strong reason for the Real Madrid team to extend Ancelotti's contract.
He was not only quite successful but he was one of most successful coach in the world along with pep and mourinho. Ancellotti is one of best coach and i remind you that the main guy who has initiated real madrid to win the treble UCL trophies in a row is him.
No doubt that real madrid knew so well how successful he was in the club. It makes him able to perform better this time and ancellotti is once again repeating the same story like a few years ago when he was building the club from nothing to something again.
Ancellotti knew that which need to buy. bellingham transfer has been proving that the quality owned by him as a coach. No doubt if people are putting a lot of their respects toward him.
Ancellotti was one of best coach ever owned by real madrid. No doubt perez likes him so much caused by ancellotti was always showing the quality of world class coach. He was a masterclass.

Arsenal is playing against Fulham today. I think this another opportunity for Arsenal to gain another 3 point. I don't see this game as a threat for Arsenal. I'm expecting a win from Arsenal and 3 or more goals to be scored in this match.
Again, never underestimate your opponent even though arsenal is obviously far above compared to the fulham right now. Im only telling about the fact that if arsenal must always play carefully caused by it may lose a chance to compete for the title once arsenal will be doing bottle job again. So many fans are aware about the main problem owned by arsenal like this club lost its spirit when it comes to the end of season. We are still in the middle of season and no excuses for arsenalt o lose more points in this game. Three points are very important thing for arsenal, arteta needs to make sure his club will not be so wasteful like the previous match. Fulham is not looking strong right now and this is the chance owned by arsenal to win the game soon. Im expecting martinelli and gabriel to be starting line up. Fulham can become a threat for the big club in EPL.

Arsenal's performance was absolutely terrible in the previous match against westham. Im not expecting it to repeat the same mistake or arsenal may be slowly but surely out from the title race against liverpool.
We can also expect liverpool to lose some points soon and this is arsenal chance to make it happen. City was winning the previous game, and it's going even closer to us.

It likes you are in the race to get the title and you shall not fucked up yourself to be a trophyless team again. Im not happy with arteta done in the previous match
