The squad needs star players. However, it is not always possible to perform well if there are star players in the squad. In this year's Premier League, we can see Chelsea and Manchester United teams as examples. A lot of talented and star players are in the squads of these two teams. However, their performance is quite poor. Qualification for the Champions League is unlikely to be achieved by these two teams. On the other hand, Aston Villa and Newcastle teams are performing better than Chelsea and United without any star players.

PSG definitely need a score machine like Mbappe to keep their performance stable. Mbappe has the ability to score a lot of goals. But if match strategy and chemistry between players is not good, it is not possible to survive in a competitive platform like Champions League.
Surviving in Ligue One is simple, there are limited challenges for Les Parisiens and that put then in a better position to win matches and titles because they're top club. If PSG could sit in the position to duplicate Kylian Mbappe, they will without hesitation, winning will become constant. Paris Saint Germain have risen from the top lead, they have started to settle for lesser outcome which weigh below their standards. PSG once upon a time had brilliant top names in the club but they couldn't hold tight of the club, resulting tem to become vulnerable to their opponents and they easily lost matches.

I would say PSG's  performance this season  is much more organized than last season. Their performance  improved with the help of  Luis Enrique. They are now consistently playing  well in Ligue 1. However, PSG's performance against the big  teams in the Champions League is still somewhat  weak. And this is because the PSG team is so  dependent on Mbappe. If Luis Enrique is able to reduce  this dependence, he will be able to play  well in the Champions League. Luis Enrique is likely to add several players to the squad to strengthen his squad in the winter transfer window. He will probably try to find a replacement for Mbappe. Looking forward to see what players PSG management try to add to the squad in the winter transfer window.

Compared to Cadiz, Granada and  Almeria, Sevilla are more determined and have a stronger squad. However, Sevilla's overall  performance is now quite poor due to the players not being in  good form and the poor performance of the defenders. Sevilla have lost 9 out of 19 matches.

The main target for  Sevilla should now be to strengthen their defence. Although the attacking players have performed well,  Sevilla have lost most of the matches due to the high number of goals conceded. In the winter transfer window, Sevilla's management should prepare big funds and add talented players to the squad. Then I believe the status of this team will change quickly.
This is the 2nd season for Sevilla to experience poor performance last season Sevilla finished in 12th position and for this season Sevilla predictions are still in the same or even lower position so that in the upcoming transfer window it takes changes in the team but it seems that Sevilla is still in the same problem, that's a financial problem they don't have a budget to bring in new players. In the last transfer window Sevilla only spent 5.5 million to bring in players or 32 million and 26.5 million obtained from the release of players well, in the upcoming transfer window Sevilla can't use the same method so there is no other way unless Sevilla gets a new investor.

Sevilla's goal in the  previous season  was to win the Europa League title. Because  of this, their performance in La Liga matches was quite poor. However, Sevilla dominated the Europa League and became the Champions of the Europa League.

However  their performance  this season has been quite poor in both the  Champions League and La Liga. Having seen  the performance of their  players in several matches, I feel that the  team has the potential to improve. But  the players are not confident. At the same time,  their defense is also quite weak. The coach should  now strengthen t he defense and improve the mentality  of the players. If the coach can do  these two things, Sevilla's performance is likely to stabilize.

~~ Snip ~~
It doesn't look like Sevilla has any hope of surviving in La Liga and they are now increasingly miserable because they sit in a position close to relegation. Several years ago they were a strong team in La Liga but for some reason they fell so deeply recently that they were unable to compete with even weak teams. Sevilla seemed to be running out of time and the previous defeat against Athletic Bilbao also hit them hard.
I would say that even if Sevilla's performance is weak now,  this team will qualify for La Liga  eventually. Sevilla are still out of the  relegation zone. However, Sevilla  team is only 1 point ahead  of Cadiz who is in the relegation zone. However  I  would say there is still a long journey ahead. Sevilla will play 19 matches in La Liga. If Sevilla can sort out their problems in these 19 matches, and  stabilize the team a bit, they will be able to move up the points table.
Sevilla have won just 3 of 19 matches this season. The main  reason for Sevilla's defeat was their  poor defence. I think Sevilla's performances will be strong and regular if the  defense is a bit stronger.
Personally, I think Sevilla will not be relegated, even though we already know the detailed statistics and reputation of their performance in the first half of the season. If Ramos and colleagues can target points from just average clubs, then they can stay in La Liga next season, in my opinion that is the easiest scenario for Sevilla.

However, we know that it is not an easy thing, because Cadiz, Granada and Almeria also want to escape the relegation zone. The financial factor of the club being in debt is the cause of Sevilla current decline in performance, so they are having difficulty building a squad and even had to be willing to let go of several key players last summer.

Compared to Cadiz, Granada and  Almeria, Sevilla are more determined and have a stronger squad. However, Sevilla's overall  performance is now quite poor due to the players not being in  good form and the poor performance of the defenders. Sevilla have lost 9 out of 19 matches.

It is still a different competition, which should not be underestimated either. It consists of two legs, but still in this Coppa Italia games can end with different results than they would usually do. All teams realize that this is the quickest way to win a trophy and to also qualify for the Europa League, which is quite huge and makes it particularly compelling for weaker clubs in the table to put everything into these Coppa Italia games. Different competition, different psychological rules.
Bologna are in good form but it will be difficult for them to win against Genoa. Let's not forget that this Genoa team managed to steal 1 point from one of the strongest teams in Serie A, Inter Milan, in their last match. Genoa players played very well against Inter Milan. And now they are more confident. So genoa will definitely try to get points against Bologna. Bologna's main strength is their defense. If genoa can somehow break this defense then they have a chance to get the points. However, the match is unlikely to be a goalless draw.
I saw the results of Genoa and it is true that they have quite a lot of close results in their games and not to forget the game they tied against Inter Milan as you said. But I still see the advantage for Bologna here. It's surprising how well they have been doing, but it is their consistency that leads me to believe they have a slight edge over Genoa in this game and of course the advantage to play this game at home. But yes it will more or less be a game of two teams with almost equal strengths, so I don't expect a win with a huge gap here.

We all considered the Bologna team as favourites. However, the Genoa players played very well. They were able to break the strong defense of Bologna. Albert Gudmundsson's goal in the 20th minute of the match led genoa. Since Genoa managed to score the first goal of the match, it will be very difficult for Bologna to win this match. Genoa's players are playing full defensive after scoring. I don't see any attempt in them to increase the goal difference by attacking. After equalizing the match against Inter Milan too, Genona played a poor defensive game and managed to draw the match.

After 40 minutes, Bologna's players had 63% of the ball and had made 6 shots. But they are not able to break Genoa's defense. At the moment I think Genoa's chances of winning or the match will be a draw. Bologna probably won't get 3 points from this match.

I mean a star player who can consistently perform consistently, and has the ability to score at key moments and bring the team to victory. There are very few such players. But PSG was very lucky to have three of the best players in the world in Messi, Neymar and Mbappe in their squad. But they cannot use these three players properly. This is why the PSG team does not get a chance to touch the Champions League title.

You probably didn't read my comment properly or you didn't understand that. I don't blame Mbappe at all for PSG not winning the Champions League despite having Mbappe. The bonding between PSG's players was not good and that's why they couldn't dominate the Champions League, that's what I mean. If the understanding between the players is not good, even if you bring all the best players in the world in the same squad, the expected results will not be obtained from them. This is what I believe.
No you didn't Mbappe blame at all, but the logic you applied in your first post would be the same what I posted about Mbappe. No players in the world will guarantee you the Champions League trophy. If one club had bought Ronaldo, Messi and Mbappe, do you think that they would have won the Champions League five years in a row guaranteed? No, probably not. But this doesn't mean that star players are not needed. First of all, star player is a vague term without definition, at least as you used it. Secondly, no team regardless of how it is composed will win the trophy guaranteed.

The squad needs star players. However, it is not always possible to perform well if there are star players in the squad. In this year's Premier League, we can see Chelsea and Manchester United teams as examples. A lot of talented and star players are in the squads of these two teams.

But despite having no experience at all in the German league. until now, Harry Kane is still the top scorer in the German league.
That shows the quality of Harry Kane can play anywhere and in any competition. It doesn't take long to adapt to the new team's game and the new competition in the German league.
The way each player adapts to a new team and new playing patterns in different leagues is always different from one player to another. Because everyone who has seen how Harry Kane adapts to the Bundesliga is quite accurate clear evidence that players like Harry Kane are quite experienced players in football. So it's not that difficult for him to adapt when he is in a new team like now and I also think that Harry Kane will be able to maintain his top scoring performance until the end of the season in the Bundesliga.

However, Kane has had a long career as a professional football player. and now he is 30 years old. He has a good personality, which makes him easy to accept in a new team, and can also adapt to his new environment.
Kane is very productive in the Bundesliga. he didn't seem to be caught up. he has full support from the team. that's what makes him so productive. he also played well at Tottenham. we have to admit it, he's a talented player. Replacing Lewandowski who went to Barca was an extraordinary role for Kane to get in Munich.

When you have played in the most competitive league in the world for so long and almost every time you were a competitor for the top scorer in there, you can clearly say you have got the skills and you are indeed one of the best strikers in the world. And I don't think it will be hard for you to rule other leagues if you were ruling the most competitive league in the world for a good amount of season.

Harry Kane lacks no skills. The Premier League is no joke. Bundesliga is not as competitive or as intense as the Premier League. But what he is doing should not be underestimated or undervalued. He is the top scorer across all leagues of Europe. We must say that he has good adaptation skills as well because how fast he adopted to a new league is pretty impressive.

^^ These are just rumors and nothing is confirmed as of yet. José Mourinho, if he takes over as the coach for Brazil will be able to improve the performance of the Brazilian national team. But the big question is whether he is interested or not. For the last three years, he has been coaching AS Roma and I don't know whether Brazilian federation can offer a better compensation package. And the chances of Brazil performing well in 2026 World Cup is minimal, and therefore apart from monetary benefits there are few other attractions.
Jose Mourinho will be Brazil head coach? I don't think with Mourinho interested to be national team manager because he was talked with some media not get challenge when becoming national team manager because few match play in every years and difference becoming club manager have many matched every season.
I am waiting from CBF - Confederação Brasileira de Futebol official announcement who will be the next Brazil manager after loss possibility for signing Carlo Ancelotti, for Jose Mourinho seems impossible because he want focus to be club manager than national teams manage.

Checking his last teams of Mourinho in the past and his career he had before, he never coached a national team, and as you said I don't think even if he is interested to start coaching national teams.
While coaching a team like Brazil seems risky for any coach and they need a coach with experience in coaching national teams to have a more stable performance because Brazil doesn't have the time to test the coaches like Jose Mourinho.
Maybe they should start looking for another coach instead of Mourinho.


I can tell you now that this is a rumor and Jose Mourinho will not be joining any national team. He is not someone who would join a national team. And his playing style is not similar to the Brazilian’s playing style. The Brazilian players play with skills and are mainly attacking minded and we all know Mourinho plays super defensively. So this would be very surprising for me if for some reason Mourinho joins Brazil's national team or any other national team.

Leviathan.007, I would agree with you. Coaching any national team is very risky and when it is Brazil it is going to be tougher. If he does not provide results it will be dangerous for him because we all know how passionate the Brazilians are about football. If Ancelotti were coming I would have said it is a good decision if he joins because Ancelotti had prior experience with some of the young Brazilians in his own team. But with Mourinho the case is different.

There is only one game in Italy Serie A. Bologna will play at home against Genoa. Bologna have a great performance under Thiago Motta. After 18 weeks they have only 3 defeats. They have a chance to finish among the top 4 teams in the league this season. On the other hand, Genoa are a few points above the relegation zone. But they have had good results in recent weeks. We can say that they are in good form in terms of performance. I see Bologna as the favorites to win this match, but I will bet on both teams to score.

Yes, Bologna are favorites,
Yes, they are doing very good this season,
Yes, Genoa is under them in the league table but don’t underestimate them.

Genoa Just drew a match against Inter Milan who are the table toppers. If you ask me, the match may go both ways. Inter Milan was on a very good winning streak before drawing against Genoa so you need to take that into consideration.

Bologna also had a big defeat against Udinese last week and they lost 3-0. Udinese are not that good of a team either. But considering their performance this season, Bologna are no team to joke about. So as I have said earlier, it may go both ways.

There is nothing wrong with the Pakistan team. The condition of the pitch changes in such way in the test matches occasionally. Australia has also lost their last 5 wickets within 11 runs. They had lost their 6th wicket before the tea break, then lost the remaining 4 wickets after the tea break. Where Pakistan has lost 7 wickets in the remaining over of day 3. The small target could be difficult for Australia if the pitch condition stays same in the day four.

We have two tests happening almost at the same time. First we had the South Africa vs India match. The hosts prepared a seam-friendly pitch and it backfired on them. India won the match by a big margin, thanks to their pacers such as Siraj and Bumrah. And then in the second match, we have Pakistan taking on Australia. Here also the hosts prepared a seam-friendly track. But they made sure that it doesn't backfire on them. At this point, Australia has a solid advantage. Pakistan could not fully capitalize, as many of their mainstream pacers are out injured.

Mahdirakib

What do you mean there is nothing wrong with the team? After These poor fielding and the poor batting performance, you can not really just say that there is nothing wrong with the team. You cannot blame the pitch, to be honest, if you want to be a good test playing team. Saim Ayub just dropped catches like Abdullah Shafique did in the first two test matches. These cannot be just luck.

I don't see Pakistan winning or drawing this match unless Rizwan and Jamal does better than what they did in the first innings. Pak only leads by 82 runs right now. They need to score like 200 more runs to even give a fight back.

Mikel Arteta will really repeat this mistake this season and they must avoid it before it is too late and they are even further left behind by Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
Arsenal are wobbling right now, but it is different from what happened last season, then it was so close to the end of the season, this time around the season is just midway through, so Arsenal has quite a lot of time to get back to their best form and challenge for the title. If you look at the league table, you'd see that there are so many teams in and around the summit and the points difference is not so much, just 6 points separates the top 5, thus nothing is either lost or won at this stage.

Last season's Arsenal dropped points in a series of matches that  dropped them out of the title race. We are seeing the same thing this season. Arsenal dropped from the top of the table to  the fourth place after losing points in a series of matches. Arsenal are now 5 points clear of Liverpool. But Arsenal still have the chance to get back on track and take the top spot in the table. But when we will see stable and strong performances from the team again, it cannot be said for sure. If Arsenal lose points in the upcoming matches as well, they will have no chance of going to the top of the table.

At this point Sevilla is a sure target towards LaLiga 2  because it's clear that current team have no desire to actually play football and save this club for a real disaster that is relegation. It will also be the first time in club history when they will face this situation and the fact that they are in debt over 800 mil $ makes me thing they do want to go to LaLiga 2 and re-build a fresh team there under a new project.  Grin

Australia women's bowling performance is not good today, the power play is over but they are yet to fall any wickets. Fielding misses are high in this match today as extra runs have given 21 runs so far and Australia women's chances of winning today are very slim. Since India Women's team players entered the field as batting openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, Shafali Verma has scored a half century and Smriti Mandhana is close to a half century with 44 runs so far. India women's team's runs so far are 119 runs for no wicket in 13 overs.
Australia women's team showed great dominance in the ODI series. They won all three matches. And in the last match the Australian team won by a big margin. But the performance of Australia women's team in today's first T20 match is not as good as expected. I didn't see the expected performance from the batsmen either. Australia women's team has given a target of only 142 runs. Considering the pitch, this run is not enough to win. On the other hand, at the end of 14 overs, India have not yet lost any wicket. They collected 124 runs. India need only 18 more runs in 6 overs to win. Shafali Verma scored an unbeaten 55 off 39 balls and Smriti scored 49 runs.

India women's team did not face any problem to win today's match. Apart from Litchfield and Perry in the Australian squad, no other batsman can play well. Australia lost all their wickets in 19.2 overs. Titas Sadhu's bowling was very controlled today. He gave away 17 runs in the match in 4 overs and was able to pick up 4 wickets for Titas.

India Women's team's two openers have batted very responsibly. Smriti Mandhana was dismissed with 54 runs, Shafali Verma remained unbeaten in the end. Australia's bowlers' performance was very poor today. They gave 21 extra runs.

Roberto Firmino is said to have an intention to leave Al-Ahli these days. Fulham are rumoured to be interested in him as well. Other than them I have heard of some Turkish teams having an interest in signing him too. I think his first choice would be to return to the English Premier League. Because he can make more money there than he can in Turkey and he is already very familiar with the league.  Smiley

I thought he shouldn't have left Liverpool in the first place but of course he must be earning much more money there. But I mean he was doing quite okay at Liverpool and performing even better than Nunez.

He has already won enough silverwares with Liverpool and it was time to see him leave, meanwhile he dropped a huge form and was out Injured fir months last season. It was a good decision for himself and the Brazilian.

He's made a public complain about life as a Saudi Arabian Player which I believe must be the main reason why he's wanting to return back to the Premier League. He was formerly linked with Nothing Forest, I know nothing about Fulham, besides they have Raul Jimenez the former Central Forward for Wolverampton.

Nunuz will score goals, all you have to do is give him time to showcase himself for the reds. I believe whenever Mo Salah leaves he'll have and take full responsibility.

The money that Al-Ahli offered him was quite unrejectable. I can see he is only 32 years old, and it is quite sure that he can perform for 3-4 more years. However, I think returning now to the Premier League will be tough.

I would say he had a bad season in the Saudi pro league considering he had 17 games played and scored only 3 goals. From these bad forms, returning to the Premier League and then performing will be quite difficult. Rather than this, I think he should join the Turkish League. As for the money, you know he would be getting almost the same amount in the Turkish league as he would get in the Premier League. The thing is he actually understood that money is not everything.

For upcoming match between Las Palmas vs Barcelona currently Barcelona was not in the good shape they just lose from Girona and Antwerp and draw from Valencia besides that Barcelona only able to win with narrow scores against weak team Almeria so they have to bounce back immediately and actually it's not required to analysis because obviously from squad quality and meeting records Barcelona is more better than Las Palmas and if Xavi can bringing Barcelona to performing well i think beating Laa Palmas is not a hard task and the bookmakers was provide low odds for Barcelona win @1.52 and my prediction is Barcelona will be able to beat Las Palmas with narrow scores
Several key players in Barcelona's squad will miss out  due to injuries. Barcelona's main goalkeeper ter Stegan will be absent. This is a big loss for Barcelona. Also, Barcelona are missing two important midfielders like Gavi and Pedri in this match. But there are two experienced players in the midfield like de Jong and Gundogan. If Gundogan, De Jong and Lewandowski play well, it will not be difficult for Barcelona to beat Las Palmas. I will definitely expect Barcelona to win this match. Barcelona  has not played well in the last few matches. If Barcelona's performance is weak in this match too, Barcelona will be out of the title fight.
And that is what has made Barcelona experience a little difficulty in the last few matches and rivals above them are trying to perform better than Barcelona so that they can make Barcelona even further behind. Xavi must be able to make Barcelona appear impressive in this match with the strength of the existing players can do it, unfortunately this is Barcelona away match but Barcelona's chances are higher. So I might predict that Barcelona will win the match even with a narrow score. If my prediction is correct, Barcelona wins then Barca can shift Atlètico Mardrd's position in 3rd place.

Barcelona were very lucky to get 3 points against las Palmas. However, compared to the previous matches, Barcelona players have performed very well in this match. However  Las Palmas players were  confident in the home match. They  were able to attack a lot in this match. Las Palmas got a 1-0 lead in just 12 minutes of the match. Barcelona could not score any goal in the first half. However, Torres scored the first goal for  Barcelona at the beginning of the second half. Gundogan's performance was good throughout the match. After 90 minutes, Gundogan did not score from the penalty opportunity. And Barcelona won the match 2-1.

Barcelona  has not played well in the last few matches. If Barcelona's performance is weak in this match too, Barcelona will be out of the title fight.
Losing key figures in crucial positions is a significant blow, and their absence could be felt in their matches. The presence of De Jong and Gundogan help the team in this situation. They can add stability and leadership to the team. If these players perform well and showcase their experience, they can compensate for the absence of Gavi and Pedri that ensures a strong midfield presence.

Lewandowski is too old to work alone in the front line. He needs mush help from the wingers. Barca can't just rely on De Jong and Gundongan, because it would be not enough as they not only need to deliver supplies for the attacks, but also need to cover the defense which is also not in a great shape. While Barcelona may have struggled in recent matches, the expectation of a victory in this game hinges on the assumption that the experienced players step up and deliver a commendable performance. The stakes are high, as a weak performance could potentially hinder Barcelona's chances in the title race.

Raphinha and Felix are quite talented players. But due to irregular performance of these two players, they cannot be trusted. However, they are able to flare up at any moment and break down the opposition's defence.

Since Pedri and Gavi are not in the squad for this match, Gundogan and De Jong will have to play well. If these two experienced players can't perform well, and can't supply the ball well to the attacking players, it won't be easy for Barcelona to score against Las Palmas.

Las Palmas are not a strong team but their defense is strong. This team conceded only 15 goals in 18 matches, teams like Barcelona conceded 21 goals this season. So it is easy to understand that the defenders of las Palmas are playing better than Barcelona this season. Therefore, without the good performance of Barcelona's attack and midfield players, victory in this match will not be possible.

At least, although it is not easy for Bayern Munich to get many trophies, but Kane has played in the right team compared to Tottenham. Therefore, I think Kane will be more consistent in scoring a lot of goals at Bayern Munich because ya, Bayern Munich has good passers in midfield and that will be a factor for Kane to score more goals more easily.
That's the point. Tottenham is also a big club in the English league but they lack players who can distribute the ball forward. Kane is a great finisher. All he needs is to get the ball in front of the goal which he will convert into a goal. I think Munich has a good history with single strikers. This can be seen from how Lewandowski performed very well as a striker in Munich. Maybe Munich's style of play really suits the needs of a finisher on the front lines.

Bayern Munich's midfield is very strong. They have  several talented midfielders  in their squad. And every midfielder  is very helpful and friendly. So  Harry Kane gets a lot of help  from the midfielders. This is the reason why he  is able to score a lot this season. Tottenham's midfield was not strong enough. Yet Harry Kane has scored plenty of goals every season. His fitness is also quite good. He scored 21 goals and 5 assists in 15 matches in the Bundesliga. Kane's performance in the Champions League is also quite good. If kane will not face a major injury, there will no doubt that Kane will be the Bundesliga's top scorer.

For upcoming match between Las Palmas vs Barcelona currently Barcelona was not in the good shape they just lose from Girona and Antwerp and draw from Valencia besides that Barcelona only able to win with narrow scores against weak team Almeria so they have to bounce back immediately and actually it's not required to analysis because obviously from squad quality and meeting records Barcelona is more better than Las Palmas and if Xavi can bringing Barcelona to performing well i think beating Laa Palmas is not a hard task and the bookmakers was provide low odds for Barcelona win @1.52 and my prediction is Barcelona will be able to beat Las Palmas with narrow scores

Several key players in Barcelona's squad will miss out  due to injuries. Barcelona's main goalkeeper ter Stegan will be absent. This is a big loss for Barcelona. Also, Barcelona are missing two important midfielders like Gavi and Pedri in this match. But there are two experienced players in the midfield like de Jong and Gundogan. If Gundogan, De Jong and Lewandowski play well, it will not be difficult for Barcelona to beat Las Palmas. I will definitely expect Barcelona to win this match. Barcelona  has not played well in the last few matches. If Barcelona's performance is weak in this match too, Barcelona will be out of the title fight.

Pakistan vs Australia 3rd Test match Pakistan turned around brilliantly against Australia. In the first innings of the third Test match against Australia, Pakistan was under a lot of pressure after losing 2 wickets. Rezwan and Amir Jamal's brilliant batting gave Pakistan a lead of 313 runs to Australia. Australia started batting with a score of 313 runs. The current score of the Australian team is 116 runs for 2 wickets. Looking at the current score of the Australian team, it seems that they may not be able to finish the lead of 300 runs and give Pakistan a lead of too many runs. If Pakistan bats like this in the third test match then maybe Pakistan can win the third test match against Australia.
Pakistan's performance was admirable in the 3rd Test. In the first inning Pakistan made 313 runs. Muhammad Rizwan made 88 runs and Aamer Jamal made 82 runs.
And now the Australia's turn and they made 116 runs in 47 overs and lost two wickets. And this time the match has been stopped due to rain. If the rain will stop and they will start playing. Pakistan needs to collect more wickets. If Australia will not give and lead to Pakistan and Pakistan will make 300+ runs again so there will be a chance that Pakistan will win this match.

If we compare the performance of Pakistan with the previous matches, we can call 313 runs as a good innings. But considering the condition of the pitch, 313 runs is not enough. The pitch is batting friendly. Pakistan team could easily collect 350+ runs. Pakistan's two openers Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub failed to score any runs. Despite such a poor start, Pakistan managed to score 313 runs thanks to excellent innings by Rizwan and Aamer Jamal. These two batsmen have done excellent batting.

After scoring 313 runs, it is not possible to say whether Pakistan will win or the match will be a draw. Still there is a possibility of Pakistan losing, as their performance is very erratic. Australia scored 116 runs for the loss of two wickets in their first innings. Amassing 313 runs will not be difficult for the Australian players.

We are leading the league table. Villa and Arsenal are no threat. City is concern but 5 points behind. Hope we don't lose motivation.
The EPL table keep changing and we know the elite clubs that would become competitive. Motivation, consistency and hardwork is what Liverpool need to fuel the stage. You're mocking other elite clubs yeah? Who has the best laugh? The EPL campaign have not ended, so these clubs mentioned have potentials of climbing to the first spot. Liverpool is lucky enough to have Jurgen Klopp who have boosts the onfidence of the club at Anfield. You're a Liverpool fan, you're happy, it's normal but don't get carried away because there are clubs that might not be doing good presently but they will certainly bounce back to good form.
Liverpool had faced lot of upsets last season and now this season they are coming back strong. Glad to see a rival coming back up from hard time. However yeah City can make their gap to 2 points considering they are one game behind Liverpool at current. Also season is still long and Liverpool also has to make sure that they maintain their consistency otherwise others will overtake them on the table. Arsenal missed their best chance and Villa are also trying hard so it is what gave Liverpool the room to lead the table. This season is bit unpredictable and I am loving the way things are getting warmed up by the middle of the season.. can't wait to see how it builds up next.

Liverpool have not performed well in the Champions League this season, making it a bit easier for Liverpool  to perform consistently well in the Premier League. Although  they are playing in the Europa League, the  Europa League teams are relatively weak.

Liverpool played  very poorly last season. But their  performance has been very stable since the  beginning of this season. They  have been able to maintain consistency. At the same time,  Liverpool players are not  getting too many major injuries. This is why their  performance is stable. While Arsenal and Manchester City have dropped points in several matches, Liverpool have managed to hold on to the top spot in the points table.

India will face South Africa in Cape Town today in the second Test of the series. South Africa seems to me to be in an advantageous position. India have played in Cape Town in the past but they have never won here. Despite the odds, India will have to put up a strong fight to avoid a series loss. Shami, who was in form in the Indian team, was earlier dropped from the team in the first Test due to injury. In the first Test, South Africa showed a very good performance in batting and bowling at both sites. Today's match is likely to be Dean Elgar's last Test match and the teammates will be looking to give a memorable farewell with a series win. South Africa will enter the field as favourites. India must try their best to level the series.
Second test match between India and South Africa has started and South Africa won the test match decided to bat first. South Africa current score is 8 runs loss of 2 wicket in 8.3 overs. An excellent strat by india team especially Muhammad Siraj bowling performance is outstanding they picked 2 important wicktes by giving just 1 runs. Both openers of south Africa team is gone Markram is out just score 2 runs and Elgar captain of South Africa didn't perform well out for scoring just 4 runs. India has dominated in first session by picking 2 early wickets.
Team India is playing today to avenge the humiliating defeat in the first Test. India lost the first match by an innings and a huge margin of 32 runs. The performance of the batsmen was poor and the bowlers also performed very poorly. But the Indian players are confident in today's match.
South Africa lost two wickets for just 8 runs. Marakram scored 2 runs and Dean Elgar collected only 4 runs. South Africa are now under a lot of pressure after losing two experienced batsmen. Zorzi and Stubbs are now at the crease. If these two batsmen fail to build a partnership, maybe South Africa will face a batting disaster.
India bowling performance is outstanding they all out South Africa in just 55 runs. From South Africa only 2 batters cross to double figures Verreynne scored 15 runs and Bedingham scored 12 runs. Very disappointed batting performance no batter take responsibility. India bowling ois outclassed especially Muhammad siraj amazing bowling performance picked 6 important wicktes by giving 15 runs in 9 over and jasprit Bumrah also picked 2 wickets by giving 25 runs and all out South Africa in 1st session of second test match. Now is playing at 17 runs without loss of any wicket in 2 overs, india will looking to give a huge lead 200 plus runs to south Africa.

South Africa's innings stopped at just 55 runs by Mohammad Siraj's excellent bowling. Siraj took 6 wickets, Bumrah and Mukesh Kumar took two wickets each. None of the batsmen in the South African squad can play well.
But like South Africa, Indian batsmen batting is also very weak. India lost their ninth wicket for 153 runs. Although Rohit, Gill and Kohli can bat somewhat well, none of the other batsmen in the squad can play well. So I'd say South Africa still has a chance to win the match. India is leading by just 98 runs now.
