The big problem with De Rossi for Rome is one, and that problem is, if he has a bad start you dont have so much time to recover the phase and recover places, because Rome situation right now is also not so good, if you start to lose more terrain and get out of this cup, your season is gonna be a complete failure and maybe without also De Rossi at the end of the season and searching again for a new coach.
I believe this will happen, I mean what you can expect for one month with a new coach? it's not even enough to reshuffle the players, they will use a same lineup and probably using a different strategy. But a strategy need to be trained for many many times, so I don't expect any big change with De Rossi. I agree with you. I am also not expecting much from De Rossi this season. 40-year-old De Rossi is not an experienced coach. De Rossi has been with Roma for a long time. He probably played 19 consecutive years with Roma. He is aware of the overall situation of the Roma team. But he is inexperienced as a coach. I don't know why Roma management sacked an experienced coach like Mourinho. Mourinho is a very experienced coach. Roma's squad does not have enough experienced players so their performances have been poor and erratic. Coach Mourinho cannot be blamed for this. I don't think Roma's performance will improve with new coach De Rossi. I think we will see further deterioration of Roma's performance. |

Pakistan now have lost 4 T20I in a row and last game will be played to avoid whitewash. NZ batting first always gave a target of around 200 but Pakistan today gave a target of 159 to NZ. Despite losing three quick wickets, NZ chased the target in 19th over thanks to 4th wicket partnership of 139 between Daryl Mitchell and Phillips. There are not many chances that Pakistan will win the last game.
The Pakistan team continues to disappoint their visitors regularly.They keep losing one match after another. In the five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, Pakistan lost the first four matches to New Zealand. They have one more match left and if Pakistan lose this match too to New Zealand they will be whitewashed. I would say that Pakistan's batting and bowling are not doing well.In every match I have seen only one player of Pakistan playing well and everyone else playing badly so sometimes no team can win. In today's match, only Mohammad Rizwan batted well, everyone else batted badly, similarly Pakistan's bowling also bowled badly. As a result Pakistan team lost against any other team. Given a target of 159 runs, victory was not possible. We saw high scores in the first three matches. In today's match too, I thought I would see a target of over 200. I believe if New Zealand had batted first they would have been able to give 200+ targets. Pakistan team lost another match due to bad batting. No one batted well except Mohammad Rizwan. Except for Rizwan and Nawaj, every batsman batting was slow. But Shaheen Shah Afridi managed to get off to a good start. Shaheen Shah Afridi took three wickets of New Zealand's top order before the end of 3 overs. If the other bowlers of Pakistan could have bowled well then maybe Pakistan could have won the match. |

We are talking about arguably the two best players in the history of football, driving each other to mental levels. I mean you can call out each other if you are not the fan of the other, but the people with objective eyes can tell you that it doesn't matter if Ronaldo is better or Messi is better, it is not the point, the point is that, no matter which one is number one, those two are the top two in the history of this sport and played relatively during the same period as well, and for along time even in the same league as well.
So, it is clear that we are talking about watching Gods of football, basically playing at their retirement clubs for one last time, no matter how long, I do not think that they will change clubs after this, it is going to be just retirement for them.
It doesn't matter which of Ronaldo or Messi is the best because anyway, based on the fans of them will also certainly say that their idol players are the best. Because yes, I personally very disappointed with FIFA's decision to choose Messi as the best player despite the fact that there are young players in this era who deserve the award like Haaland or other young players like Mbappe or whoever it is or maybe Bellingham. Because after all, if I consider Messi after leaving Barcelona, in fact Messi didn't have big achievements in the next team like at PSG and now at Inter Miami too. Therefore, I think FIFA chose the wrong player in giving this award, because there not great achievements that Messi has at this moment. What I've seen FIFA has always been biased towards Lionel Messi for some reason! ! This is the main reason why a lot of players have suffered. I don't think you can show me any season or any time when Cristiano Ronaldo did not win the award of the best player when he deserved it. But everyone knows Lionel Messi has definitely been the winner when he did not deserve it. I can show you a lot of scenes when he won the Ballon d'Or when he was not supposed to. FIFA has definitely been biased towards Lionel Messi and for some reason they are actually trying to establish him as the greatest player of all time, at least it seems like that to me. |

I think they most importantly need to win the games they will play against the other teams that are threatened to end their season in the relegation zone. Of course it is a nice to have if they can beat other teams from the upper half of the table, but the most important points are those against their competitors from the lower half of the table.
Within the last 7 games of the season their opponents are Burnley, Nottingham, Brentford, Luton Town and Sheffield. That's when the season will be most important for Everton. The team you mentioned also has the desire to win the match and they also don't want to be in the relegation zone so everyone will play for a win or at least a draw. Everton should be able to get out of the zone more easily, but their inconsistent performance means everything can change. Nottingham and Brentford are not easy to beat because they also have to win if they don't want to be in the relegation zone so they will try the same thing as Everton. If can't win in all the remaining matches then a draw is enough, but it's also important to get several wins to avoid unforeseen possibilities. Being above one level in the relegation zone is not an easy thing because if they want to be safe they have to be in 14th or 15th position in the final standings. None of the teams is easy to beat and that is why we have seen so many surprises so far. But if somebody asked me whether I think that the most important games for Everton are those against the teams from the upper half of the table or the games against the teams from the lower half of the table, my instant answer would be that they have to win the games against the teams from the lower half of the table of course. Everton can afford to lose against Manchester City and Liverpool, but they can't afford to lose against Luton Town, Brentford and co. Those games are absolutely critical and every single one of those games must be considered a final like in a cup. It will be difficult to predict which teams will go into the relegation zone. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will play about 18 more matches. So Burnley and Luton Town have the ability to get out of the relegation zone if the performance is somewhat stable. But it cannot be said with certainty whether it will stabilize the performance of the teams. However, the performance of the Everton team is quite good this season. Despite losing 10 points, they are still out of the relegation zone. And I think at the end of the season we will see this team maybe 12th/13th. But I am not satisfied with Sheffield United's performance. It will be very difficult for this team to get out of the relegation zone. Because their defense is too weak. |

Last season, Man City maybe was able to beat both of them. Because last season Ral Madrid and Bayern were not in good enough condition. But this season I think something is different. Because Real Madrid and Bayern this season really look more solid than last season. Meanwhile, Man City has had many problems this season. De Bruyne has also just recovered and has returned to playing and indeed he can immediately return to his best performance. But Haaland hasn't returned yet, but I haven't heard any news about when Haaland will return. Even though there are lots of rumors circulating that Haaland might be able to return at the end of January, I'm still not sure whether he will immediately return to his best performance or not.
De Bruyne can immediately return to his best performance but we still don't know about Haaland. So this season the UCL will probably be fiercer than last season. Unless Haaland returns and remains in good form then Man City's chance of winning the UCL title again could indeed happen again.
Inter Milan is also something to be reckoned with. Because this season Inter Milan also looks stronger than last season. And Serie A clubs are sometimes difficult to predict. And can always make other strong teams overwhelmed when facing them.
By February the knock out stage for the UCL will kick off and for some teams, it'll be an easy slide through regardless of the notion of the strongest teams being the ones able to scale into this stage. City and Copenhagen would go against each other and it's very much clear that City would be the survivors. Their key men are back and set to run and definitely that's enough charge to weigh down Copenhagen. Yes, in their home ground, they may try to put up a battle but I'm certain that City will be capable to overturn them. They're way ahead of them in capacity and ability too. As always, the round of 16 will have as much fun as there can be in it and it's greatly anticipated. Preparations and games would definitely be intense too. That's why there's the winter window, for clubs to strengthen their squad depth ahead of competition like this, cause it going to get tougher and the wicker teams would definitely get kicked out. Manchester City should be able to get very deep in the Champions League competition. Manchester City is a good team. And I believe Manchester City should be able to beat the competition that they have till the semi-finals at least. Now Manchester City definitely has the capability. The question is, are they going to be able to be consistent enough to do that? I think they should. But they have definitely been a little inconsistent in this season. So it might be possible that they do not reach the semi-finals. But I highly believe that Manchester City should not get knocked out before that. If anything that is definitely going to make the competition a lot more uninteresting. |

With the help of Travis Head's century, the Australian team managed to collect 283 runs. They managed to take a big lead of 95 runs. Considering the condition of the pitch, it was a good enough collection. Other than Travis head and Usman Khawaja, no other batsmen can bat as well.
Like the first innings, we have seen bad batting by West Indies in the second innings as well. At the end of the second day West Indies players managed to collect only 73 runs and they lost 6 wickets. The West Indies team is still behind Australia by 22 runs. It has now become very easy for Australia to beat West Indies.
West Indies as usual, let the match slip out of their hand. At one point they had Australia at 129/5. But then they allowed the lower order batsmen to add another 154 runs. Nathan Lyon made 24 crucial runs, and Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc also contributed with the bat. And in return, the West Indian batsmen once again struggled against the Australian pace trio. Josh Hazlewood was unplayable, and in the second innings Cameron Green and Nathan Lyon also chipped in with one wicket apiece. This series was supposed to be very one-sided and it is turning out that way. We got quite good batting from the Australian batsmen. Travis Head's century takes Australia to a big total. Meanwhile, Nathan Lyon's 24 was much needed for Australia. On the other hand, even after starting the second innings from 95 runs behind, we did not see a good performance from the West Indies batsmen. McKenzie was out with 26 and Greaves 24. At the crease now I don't see any experienced batsman who can play big innings with responsibility. West Indies' innings will end between 130-140. And the West Indies team might be able to provide a small target of 40-50. |

Xavi is said to have threatened his players with leaving Barcelona if they didn't believe in him anymore. I'm not surprised with hearing such news honestly because Barcelona are really poorly performing these days. They have conceded so many goals so far unlike the previous season. It isn't good at all to see them in this situation in the middle of the season already.  They aren't bad at scoring goals at least in general. However they really need to work on strengthening their defense. They don't have a bad defense line actually but the players just don't perform like themselves this season. Xavi will need to make them believe in themselves somehow. What's the difference from this squad and that from last season that won the La Liga Competition? A clear difference visible to mean is Sergio Busquet who left for Inter Miami. The defense have just seen Jordi Alba leave and Balde played more of the games last season. I'd say the defense is fine, maybe they be lacking and missing the Injured Ter Stegen who got Injured during international duties for Germany. I'd also want to say they lack a good defensive midfielder to shield the defenders and that's something they need to bring in before the transfer window comes to an end. They've been linked with players like Kalvin Philips and Joshua Kimmich though, one of em would solve that issue. And then, they need to create more chances for Robert Lewandoski, I don't believe he is declining. He remains the perfect man for them. I don't think Sergio Busquets not being in Barcelona is actually that big of a problem. The actual problem is Barcelona not managing their money perfectly. Because if Barcelona had the same level of money that Real Madrid has right now, this situation would have been very different. Imagine if Madrid and Barcelona had the same level of money right now, Barcelona definitely was going to bring in another player in place of Sergio Busquets. Someone like Casemiro. But Barcelona cannot afford to do that right now. Barcelona cannot even register players that they have already acquired because of the budget problem. But anyway, if Xavi has actually done something like scaring the players, it was definitely unprofessional from him. It does not matter how much he loves Barcelona, he cannot do that as the coach. |

I really don't understand why Daniele De Rossi has to be Mourinho's replacement. Because as far as I know, Daniele De Rossi also didn't produce good results in his first career as a coach at SPAL, a club in Serie C group B. But yes, young coaches can sometimes make surprises. For example, Arteta surprised us all in the Premier League.
Maybe being AS Roma coach is a great honor for Daniele De Rossi. This will be his first experience as a coach at a big club. And Daniele De Rossi actually has long experience as a player at AS Roma for 18 years. But I still doubt whether it will be a good thing for Roma or the opposite.
I also didn't really understand what happened and I don't understand why they blame the coach ( I don't like Jose Mourinho) since they didn't spend enough money to strengthen the team these actions really make me laugh a lot, meh Unfortunately it's fashionable to blame the coach Well I kind of understand why everyone actually likes to blame the coach. Because in most of the cases, I think people actually believes that the players are generally capable of doing very well, so it must be the fault of the coach. But Guess I think the coach was not that bad. I believe if he was given enough money or maybe more money, he could have definitely done a lot better. But let's say that the coach was not doing good enough. Why did they bring in De Rossi? I literally do not see any reason for that. Did they think that the result is going to get better with him? I definitely do not think so. I think they have to bring in a better coach. |

Australia lost the wicket of Cameron Green at the start of the second day. I expected a slightly bigger innings from Green. But Cameron Green returned to the dressing room after collecting only 14 runs.
Usman Khawaja and Travis head are batting very well. Australia collected 100 runs in 34 overs. Usman Khawaja remained unbeaten on 41 off 98 balls. And Travis Head collected 20 runs. Australia still trailed by 88 runs. But it doesn't seem difficult to collect 88 runs by looking at their batting. Usman Khawaja is batting very responsibly. Australia will probably score around 250 in the first innings.
Although Australia is an experienced team, it cannot be said with certainty whether they will be able to score more than 200 in the first innings. Usman Khawaja was batting very well. But Khawaja's innings ended on 45 runs. Travis head and Mitchell Marsh are now at the crease. These two batsmen are also very experienced. But since the pitch is completely bowling friendly. So it is very difficult for batsmen to stay at the crease on this pitch. Australia managed to collect 120 runs after losing 4 wickets. The team is still behind by 68 runs. Shamar Joseph is bowling very well. He managed to pick up three important wickets. With the help of Travis Head's century, the Australian team managed to collect 283 runs. They managed to take a big lead of 95 runs. Considering the condition of the pitch, it was a good enough collection. Other than Travis head and Usman Khawaja, no other batsmen can bat as well. Like the first innings, we have seen bad batting by West Indies in the second innings as well. At the end of the second day West Indies players managed to collect only 73 runs and they lost 6 wickets. The West Indies team is still behind Australia by 22 runs. It has now become very easy for Australia to beat West Indies. |

Leverkusen were still able to survive without losing or drawing in this match, even though they played a little more under pressure like usual and were lucky to score a goal in the extra minute, thereby avoiding a draw and keeping them at the top of the standings But I think Xabi Alonso should have an option when the game is much more difficult because without a goal will make them lose full points.
This concern is justified because if they experience a draw in the next match it will make Bayern Munich's position very profitable. Moreover, the difference in points is only one after Bayern Munich plays their 17th match and Xabi Alonso must be careful so that they are not displaced as the top of the standings.
Leverkusen is very much aware of how much Munich wants to be at the top of the table just as they are and possibly win the title again their season and I'm sure Leverkusen wants to win the title this season aswell so they are go to make sure they don't give chances for Bayern Munich to be able to see an opportunity to getting to the top of the table again. Munich is still very much at alert looking for every opportunity to getting to the top of the table only waiting do Leverkusen to loose or have a series of draw which definitely adds only little to their points at the end of the game. Xabi is very much aware of every situation on ground and it's time he works on their ability to play without been pressured of feeling pressured because if he's able to get that then their confidence will be such that can help them maintain the top spot. This is why I have decided to give Munich and Leverkusen straight wins in the games they are going to play from now till ending of February.The momentum of the little break they had is still very fresh on them,so they have more time to pick up the form they had in the first half of the season and continue playing good football.Meanwhile,Bayern is another team who also have thesame spirit because they don't want another team in the Bundesliga to dominate them.I still gave them straight wining in the next 6 games coming because I don't see them losing anytime soon because of the competition between them and Leverkusen. It is not yet certain which team will win the title this season. Half the matches of the season are over. Leverkusen have performed superbly so far and remain unbeaten. In every match we have seen better performances from Leverkusen. On the other hand, the strongest team in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, is also performing well in every match and is able to dominate and win. Both Leverkusen and Munich are likely to win the title. I personally consider the Munich team as favourites. The main reason for this is that the Munich team is more experienced than the one at Leverkusen. There is no doubt that Leverkusen are playing very well right now. But I am not sure if they can maintain consistency till the end of the season. |

India vs Afghanistan
The third T20 match of the India vs Afghanistan series is being played now. India fielded earlier in the first two matches. But today India captain Rohit Sharma has decided to bat after winning the toss. India won easily in the first two matches. It is expected that India will win today's match as well. Indian players are in very good form now.
India collected 11 runs in 1 over. Rohit Sharma could not collect any runs despite playing 5 balls. Rohit Sharma has played badly in the last two matches. He could not collect any runs. We will definitely expect responsible batting from Rohit Sharma in today's match.
After winning the toss and electing to bat, it was unimaginable that the Indian team would face such a batting disaster. Before the end of 5 overs, India lost 4 wickets to collect only 22 runs. But Rohit Sharma and Rinku Singh are performing well now. Rohit Sharma has not played well in the last two matches but he is batting very well today. At the end of 13 overs, India collected 97 runs. Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten with 50 runs from 41 balls and Rinku Singh with 30 runs from 23 balls. I'd say it's a pretty good collection. If Rohit and Rinku stay at the crease, India will be able to set a target of 170+ Rohit Sharma and Rinku's brilliant batting saw India collect 212 runs in 20 overs. Despite stumbling at the start of the innings, these two batsmen managed to completely control the situation. Rohit Shamra played a devastating innings of 121 runs off 69 balls. He batted at a strike rate of 175. At the same time Rinku Singh was unbeaten with 69 runs off 39 balls. These two batsmen have performed very well. India lost their fourth wicket by 22 runs. Rinku and Rohit Sharma batted till the end. The interesting thing is that India have collected 58 runs in the last two overs. India scored 36 runs in the last over. Rohit and Rinku destroyed Karim Janat today. |

In today's match in French Soccer League, Lens vs PSG team played very well in today's match. PSG team played very well. I thought Lens team players will play well in today's match but Lens team's players did not score any goal in today's match due to bad performance. PSG team won the match today by 2 goals.B. Barcola scored the first goal in the 30th minute.K. Mbappe scored the 2nd goal in the 89th minute.
This season, the Lens team doesn't look good enough, so it's quite natural that Lens lost to PSG at home with only two goals without reply. Apart from that, PSG itself is still quite strong in Ligue1 so it is also natural for PSG to win with two goals without reply at home to Lens. Now PSG is back in the lead again and it is almost impossible for its rivals in Ligue1 to catch up and everyone can guess who will win the trophy again in Ligue1 this season. Even though Lens received a red card, I think he fought well. They played with 10 men in the second half and could not prevent Mbappe's goal in the 89th minute. I think Lens had a not bad performance in the home field. However, of course, I can say that they had a worse season compared to previous years. I would say the main reason Lens lost in this match was not being able to score from a penalty chance in the seventh minute. If the Lens players could score from the penalty and take a 1-0 lead, the PSG players would be under more pressure. And it would have been more difficult for PSG's players to break down the Lens defence. But Frankowski missed the easy opportunity. And Barcola scored from Mbappe's assist in the 30th minute. However, once Lens's defender gets a red car, Lens's gameplay slows down. Winning against a strong opponent like PSG with 10 players was a much more difficult task. And naturally PSG got an easy win in this match. |

After the loses against Mönchengladbach Stuttgart will facing Bochum this weekend and on the paper this should be easy match because at the beginning of this season both teams has been met and at that time Stuttgart can win with big scores 5-0 and Stuttgart conditions doesn't really good recently because they only got 2 wins from 5 latest matches in Bundesliga moreover losing some players just like Guirassy makes them in the difficult situation so if Stuttgart failed to win again from this match then their position will be overtaked by Leipzig if this team win from Leverkusen
Bochum has interesting records at their home because from 8 home matches total they got 5 draw and only lost once so these records is proven Bochum at home was hard to defeated so although from recent performance and the position on league standings Stuttgart was more better but i think Bochum had a potention to make Stuttgart get in trouble especially just like i said before Stuttgart will playing without their main striker Guirassy so my prediction is Stuttgart will be very difficult to scores and i think big possibility this match will ended to draw
Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again. In general, Bochum is not a very strong opponent, but sometimes this team also performs well when facing quite strong opponents, especially being at home makes them get additional energy from the fans. I think Stuttgart without Guirassy is just an ordinary team and that cannot be allowed because they have worked hard to reach this level and compete at the top with other strong teams. So what I hope is that they can quickly forget their previous defeat against Gladbach and step back to win against Bochum later. I turned away from your prediction and my prediction is not that complicated, winning by just one goal is already a blessing for Stuttgart with the reduced strength in their attack line. The match will be easy for Stuttgart when competing against Bochum but if you fight Leipzig it seems it will be very difficult to get a victory even without Guirassy is a big problem for Stuttgart because the player is one of the players who is very relying on no other player who can replace his position and If in the Bochum match, Stuttgart still gets defeat, I think the hope of surviving in position 3 is very thin. Although Stuttgart's performances have been erratic in the last few matches, this team is much stronger than Bochum. Stuttgart is now third in the points table. Bochum on the other hand have won only 3 matches this season. This team is in the 14th position of the points table. And Bochum's defense is very weak. Without Serhou Guirassy, it will be a bit difficult for Stuttgart to score. Serhou Guirassy is an excellent player. He scored 17 goals and 1 assist in 14 matches. However, since Bochum's defense is not strong, the team has conceded 34 goals in 17 matches. So I will put Stuttgart ahead in this match. Stuttgart will be able to get 3 points in this match. |

 Maybe there are some people who think that Juventus will lose again against Sassuolo, even though the previous meeting was enough to prove that Juventus will not repeat the same mistake against Sassuolo. I bet on this match and am very confident that Juventus will avenge their previous defeat against Sassuolo. Juventus won by scoring 3 goals and Sassuolo was unable to reply to the goals. It is clear that now the situation is different and it is impossible for Juventus to let Sassuolo freely for the second time and playing in front of the fans certainly increases enthusiasm for the Juventus players. Luckily I entered Juventus in a multibet with other matches because the odds were also quite good for the handicap (-1.25) and the goal difference was more than I thought. Juventus' performance is quite good and they are fighting for the title this season so I have no doubts about the victory they will achieve especially since they are playing at home, while Sassuolo is not a strong team and also Sassuolo is an inconsistent team so the win was 3 -0 for Juventus is quite reasonable and this is not a surprise. The handicap of -1.25 is quite worthy of betting and I also made the same bet, but I played single bets and to win I was quite confident in it and it was proven. Juventus team is in very good form this season. This team is playing very well. And since they are fighting for the title, they must win consistently now. Because the Juventus team still cannot occupy the top spot in the table. Juventus is still two points behind Inter Milan. So if Juventus loses points in any match, then their points gap with Milan will increase. Juventus performed very well against Sassuolo. From the beginning of the match, the performance of the Juventus players was organized. Vlahovic scored two goals in the first half. Although Sassuolo made several good attacks, it was not an easy task for the team to break down Juventus' strong defence. |

What a win for Zimbabwe
~snip~ Sikandar Raza fall for just 8 runs but good hittng in the end from Jongwe and Madande. I don't remember when Zimbabwe last time won a match against a strong team. Now series is levelled 1-1 and the last match will be crucial for both teams.
It was indeed a great win for Zimbabwe. Luke Jongwe got man of the match award as he has contributed with his bowling and perfect finishing. Craig Ervine has the main contribution to the victory. Anyway, I have decided to place a bet on Zimbabwe for the last T20 match. The odds is a bit high (3.85×) for them, but they are playing well against Sri Lanka. The performance of Zimbabwe's batsmen surprised me a lot. They batted for a target of 174 runs. Still Zimbabwe won this match. Craig Ervine performed well in this match scoring 70 runs off 54 balls. I expected a big innings from Sikandar Raza. But he could not bat well. However, Zimbabwe won this match because of the performances of Luke Jongwe and Clive Madande. Jongwe scored 25 runs off 12 balls and Madande collected 15 runs off just 5 balls. Zimbabwe needed 20 runs in the last over. But they won the match by collecting 24 runs in the last over. The players of Zimbabwe played very well in this match. Zimbabwe still has a chance to win the series. |

Sri Lanka are playing like crap at the moment. They are self-destructing since they already lost 3 wickets for 20 runs which is embarassing considering the fact that their opponent is Zimbabwe.
Looks like the underdog could end up winning the second T-20 as long as they continue putting pressure on the Lankans in this manner.
Although Sri Lanka were under a lot of pressure early on but Angela Mathews and Asalanka are trying to increase the score for Sri Lanka. However, Sri Lanka is trying to play a bit more aggressively after 10 overs. So far 78 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 13 overs without the fall of any more wickets. But with Angela Mathews facing the number of balls in a defensive mood, it's time for her to play an aggressive innings. Angela Mathews remains unbeaten on 20 off 32 balls while Asalanka remains unbeaten on 35 off 27 balls. Sri Lanka are playing very well and have scored 145 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 17 overs. This time P nissanka and K perera did not perform well with the bat and were dismissed for zero runs. Now C Asalanka and Mathews are playing batting. Asalanka are playing well he made 69 run in just 38 balls they complete hafl century If Asalanka continues to perform like this, I hope he can give a target of 170 run plus which will be a very tough target for Zimbabwe. I don't think Zimbabwe will win by batting at such a big target. Had the target been below 160, the match would have been competitive. But 173 runs is a big enough target. And since the performance of Zimbabwean batsmen is very erratic, it is very difficult for Zimbabwe to score 174 runs in this match. Also now Zimbabwe's batting is very slow. At the end of 6 overs, Zimbabwe collected only 31 runs and lost one wicket. If Craig Ervine and SIkandar Raza play well, perhaps Zimbabwe will be able to collect big. Ervine is now unbeaten with 14 runs from 19 balls. |

Roma need to strengthen their squad. Roma are very lucky to have an experienced coach like Mourinho. If Roma management had given Mourinho bigger funds then perhaps Mourinho could have built a stronger squad and Roma team would have been able to compete for the Serie A title. But the Roma management is not very rich nor are they interested in spending a lot of money on squad formation. So Mourinho is not able to form a squad with the players of his choice. Roma's attack needs to be strengthened. Dybala is playing well enough. But Roma need a playmaker. Who can bring victory to the team at the moment of need of the team. No such player is currently in Roma's squad.
It's a little surprising for me because Roma's performance this season is not much better than 2 seasons ago when Jose Mourinho first arrived and I think Roma this season is not making better progress, so there is quite a lot of work that needs to be improved by Jose Mourinho and there are indeed problems. The lack of funding supply from management to bring in quality players is a problem and difficulty for Jose Mounrinho in building the Roma team. This season, Roma really seems to be having difficulties and there is no other way for them to improve to be able to compete at the top of the Serie A standings this season. Roma do not have enough talented players in their squad. This is their biggest weakness. However, Mourinho has tried his best to stabilize the team's performance. But Roma's performance did not stabilize. Roma players are not able to maintain the continuity of performance. Roma's defense needs to be stronger. They conceded 25 goals in 20 matches. And managed to score 32. Although the attack is quite strong, Roma's performance is erratic due to a weak defense. Mourinho should take the necessary measures to strengthen his defense in the winter transfer window. At the same time, Roma also needs an experienced striker. |
