But after losing by Brentford Erik ten Hag implemented a more disciplined training system and additional training as punishment, perhaps because of this the Manchester United squad could play well in the match against Liverpool. Because that's all the info out there, which means it's possible that this method actually works on the team to boost morale and apart from that it doesn't seem to exist. Because if it's only about Maguire being on the bench, I think Maguire has also been treated like this before who wasn't included in the starting eleven but the result was the same. In addition, the factor of Liverpool's still less than optimal performance could at least make Manchester United win the match, because several key players could not be played, of course, one factor in Liverpool's declining performance at the beginning of this season.

That's right, the point is that after PSG became the richest team in Ligue 1, after that no team could stop PSG's dominance in Ligue 1. Because maybe and it seems true, that the owner wants PSG to become the strongest team in Europe by getting the Champions League title. But unfortunately, to achieve that will still be difficult even though they have upgraded the team with a lot of money. So, when they fail in the Champions League but they will never fail to dominate Ligue 1. Also, of course PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 will last a long time, because no rival team in Ligue 1 comes close to PSG's quality.

Basically Barcelona still have a defender who hasn't been registered in La Liga and it looks like the problem is again about money, and he is the player they just signed from Sevilla is Jules Kunde, and there's Sergino Dest too. If they are registered then of course, Barcelona's defense can be said to be quite good and quite promising that they will be able to compete in the race for the La Liga title. Regarding the friendly match against Manchester City in the middle of this week, I think both teams will still play their main squad, considering Manchester City also yesterday only got a draw against Newcastle. That way, of course Pep will play serious gameplay to test how well their strategy is to become even stronger.

A chaotic week for bettors, from the start of Chelsea and then Manchester City to Liverpool as the favorites to lose while proving every match is not easy to predict. It doesn't matter what percentage of a team can be favourites, because when a match goes on anything can happen without anyone guessing it right. Unless they get lucky and/or know there is a cause and effect that only they know. But that way at least for the Manchester United team they will get their best morale back, if their winning mentality returns then of course Manchester United still has a chance to be able to continue to improve from week to week.

The fact that Dortmund can take the lead with a 2-0 scoreline means that Dortmund no longer needs a new striker or defender. Lol! If the case against Werder Bremen can come back at the end of the match, then Dortmund doesn't need new players anymore but what Dortmund must improve is to stay focused in every match. No matter who the opponent is facing, if that is the case then Dortmund really must be demanded to play disciplined until the last minute even though they have won the match. It's not about needing new players, it's funny when a team loses then they say the team needs new players

Juventus and Roma got results that disappointed me, Roma played at home and only against Cremonese but Roma still only won by a narrow score. Indeed, it doesn't matter, but I hope Roma can appear more aggressive against a mediocre team to win big, at least to prove with their current squad they can play better. Also with Juventus, with a final result like this I assume that the big teams in Serie A are not strong teams in the title candidates this season, they still need more time to get better.

Even though I bet on Liverpool, but somehow I started to doubt it now. Liverpool are still getting some of their key players injured and added to the red card received by Nunez, it looks like it will be a bit of an obstacle for Liverpool to be able to play well in this match. Instead of having a winner, for some reason I have a feeling that maybe the match will end in a draw. Indeed there is no guarantee for that and I just want to express it, but even so I will still be optimistic not to change my choice in betting.

It's great that Villarreal has not conceded so far and with that, Villarreal for the time being is at the top of the standings. I hope there is something more different for Laliga this season, which usually only Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico and Sevilla maybe this season Sevilla will be out of the top four. Indeed, it's still early days but at least I'm optimistic that with Villarreal starting the season better it can be a trigger for them to become a rival team in the title race.

Until this second week, it seems that Napoli are still consistent in winning with a big score, maybe because the opponent is still relatively easy so that Napoli can maximize every opportunity they get. But for the next match Napoli will play away against Fiorentina, maybe it will be difficult to win by a big score or even Napoli will still be able to give an equally good final result. If that happens it's still for me Napoli can be a candidate in the title race, but there are still matches left in the second week and I will still wait for the final result from Juventus because they can also be said to be very good in their first match.

It's nice to get a big score that Bayern Munich got, because a team like Bayern Munich would be very right to win with a big score like that against a mediocre team. It's not strange and it's no longer a surprise, but I feel happy because with players leaving and there are new players in this Bayern Munich team, the quality of Bayern Munich is still the same. I hope Bayern Munich can continue that performance also in the Champions League which will certainly be a perfect team, although it's not easy but at least Bayern Munich have a chance for higher achievements.

Will Manchester City follow Chelsea's defeat? It seems that in this round the top teams did not get the same results to get the win. Indeed, there is still time for Manchester City to score a goal back but somehow I'm not sure, maybe because the home team Newcatle are playing well. I don't understand because it's basically difficult for the opposing team to score 2 goals in the first half to beat Manchester City, but Newcastle can do that. I was afraid it was a sign that Newcastle might be able to hold on to this win and it did, as the current scoreline is 3-1.

Surely Bayern Munich will not repeat the same mistake, because if I'm not mistaken at that time Bayern Munich was already at the top of the standings so they might underestimate the opponent. But for this match, I'm sure Bayern Munich will continue to play with their best focus, because at the start of the season it would be perfect if Bayern Munich can consistently get full points to make their position safer at the top of the standings. Because when they enter the Champions League phase, especially when there will be a break for the world cup, it is very possible for Bayern Munich to get three points in each match. A little update, the temporary score is 1-0 Bayern Munich lead and the goal made by Sane in the 4th minute was a quick goal.

I thought I got the score wrong where Chelsea lost 2-0 by Leeds, but I confirm again that I didn't see the wrong score. In fact, now the score is 3-0 and not only that, after yesterday Koulibaly had a good goal but now Koulibaly got a red card. Considering that Leeds are a mediocre team but who can beat Chelsea by a big score and also win with the Clean Sheets, then of course that is a very remarkable achievement. Because the situation at Chelsea is still conducive which is not destroyed like Manchester United, but at this moment Chlesea really becomes a very broken team, I just didn't think Leeds could make a surprise like this.

I personally hope that Real Sociedad can win the match, or maybe a draw will be a good result. The reason it is difficult for me to support Barcelona is because they have a bad way of recruiting and paying players, such as cutting players' salaries and even terminating players' contracts and also, there are still new players who have not been registered. It's something bad that Barcelona did, this team has a lot of unsolved problems but somehow Barcelona can actually create new problems again and again. This is like a case of unhealthy management, which of course will affect the team's performance from time to time.

West Ham's match in the Europa Conference League is not an obstacle to be able to play well in the English Premier League, because West Ham in the 1st leg has won with a score of 3-1, which is an aggregate that is difficult to beat by a team like Viborg. But regardless, for the match against Brighton remains a difficult job if West Ham are required to win. When West Ham's first match played against Manchester City it was a natural result and I can accept defeat too, but when West Ham lost by Nottingham it was like a result that shouldn't have happened. Also, Brighton is not an easy opponent for West Ham because the head to head record at least shows that Brighton is still the best when compared to winning results. So, I personally don't believe West Ham will win in this match, but for a draw it could happen.

After all, Spezia is not a strong team that can pose a threat to the seeded team so that Inter's victory was already projected to happen, Spezia itself at the end of last season was in 16th position in the final standings. So yes, Inter should have won with a score like that, but if Inter won only with a lower score then it would be a bad result. However, Inter do have to be consistent to get full points against mediocre teams, because the next match Inter will play against Lazio.

This Lampard and Gerrard rivalry does not have the expected tension, if they really compete at least they can build a better team. Though, at the time Gerrard arrived it seemed like a good prospect for Aston Villa, but after entering the new season nothing seems to be expected further for Aston Villa's performance. It's the same with Everton, basically Lampard needs experience or more time to become a great coach, because Everton are still very weak and even almost lost by Nottingham in last night's match.

Indeed, Real Madrid won with a score of 4-1 but Real Madrid should have won more than that if the last penalty had scored a goal. Unfortunately Hazard who came on as a substitute still failed to score a goal from the penalty kick, but it looks like if the penalty is taken by Benzema it looks like the final score will be 5-1. Apart from missing Hazard's penalty I really admired Modric and Vinicius Junior's goal, it was a good goal created by an old player who shot from outside the box and a young player with his pace and composure in scoring goals.

What's really going on, is there a game there or something like score fixing. How can Werder Bremen score three goals at the end of the match, even if it was Bayern Munich I personally would highly doubt it to be able to score three goals quickly at the end of the match. Very disappointed with this result because I bet with high confidence on Dortmund and basically Dortmund even won at half time/full time 1-0/2-0, but what happened Werder Bremen could give a real surprise.

Until 85 minutes Lens was still leading with a score of 4-1 even, Lens had won at half time with a score of 2-1. So, the favorite team or the seeded team will not always win, because if it will be a reference it will be easy to bet. Although indeed, there are many factors that could be a reference, but these are not always or should not be a benchmark for a team to be able to win and be easy to predict. But still regarding the match between Monaco and Lens, at least I have the right considerations to doubt Monaco. Because basically their head to head record, although Monaco is better, I can assume it is a little balanced so that it is possible for a difficult match. But with the recent trend, it's clear that Lens can fight back and it's finally happening.
