Marcelo Gallardo as new manager still unable to bringing Al Ittihad to performing well because from 4 latest matches in Saudi Pro League Al Ittihad only get 1 win and yesterday Al Ittihad have to suffering another loses from Al Raed and the red card indeed has been ruin their performance because since that incident Al Ittihad looks to lost their rhythm and this is their 5th loss of the season and they have  21 difference points below to Al Hilal the team who in the first place and i think they have to give up to defend their title because it's near to impossible to cut their points gap with Al Hilal

This Wednesday Al Ittihad will gets tough opponent Al Nassr and we all know currently Al Nassr is in the good shape with Ronaldo as their top scorer with 17 goals Al Nassr even has just beat Al-Ettifaq last week and Al Nassr also can advances to the semifinal of King Cup after eliminate Al Shabab with big scores so this is hard match for Al Ittihad even my predictions is Al Nassr will being an the winner of this match and the bookmakers even provided low odds for Al Nassr @1.50

You can't compare this PSG team with the Barcelona team that Luis Enrique once managed and won the Champions League title with. PSG has several good names on paper, but they have had their problems in the Champions League as well. They could not beat Dortmund in the second game and they got destroyed by Newcastle 4-1 in the first game and couldn't win the second game either. Where is Newcastle now? Out, they are not even in the Europa League.

I think these results in the group stage are reason enough for Real Sociedad to assume that they have a good chance to progress to the quarterfinals. I am not saying they are the favorite, but I am saying they have a good chance.

We can't call Roma stronger even though they won today, we consider it luck because after the red card Roma could only score a goal if there is no red card maybe the final score is 0-0 but Roma still got the 3 important points it doesn't matter how they get it the end result is what matters. This defeat will add to Napoli's poor results in the last 5 matches Napoli even fell from 5th position something we didn't expect due to their status as champions last season while Roma and Fiorentina are slowly rising in better positions. The top 6 teams managed to win the match except Milan who drew yesterday I'm afraid these teams are bothering Milan in 3rd place Milan is really not safe there they have to get out of their comfort zone.

Its going to be an interesting period when the round 16 will kick off in the UEFA champions league.The teams that are expected to go through this round to the quater final are Madrid,Bayern,Manchester City, Arsenal,Dortmund,I Include Dortmund because they are so good this season in the Champions league, finishing first in their group of death is not an easy task,so I will include them to go far past the round 16 stage.There are other teams that will push towards making the quater  final,but i'm optimistic about this few I mentioned.I really can't wait for this period to come because it is through this league that the best teams in the world are known.Last season,it was Mancity,but I doubt if they will be able to defend the tittle this season.

Jude Bellingham's journey has been fantastic because he started his professional football career from Birmingham with a market value of 11 million euros, after which Dortmund came to take him. After several seasons with Dortmund, his market value finally rose again to 120 million euros and this attracted Real Madrid and finally brought in Jude Bellingham last summer. Jude Bellingham is only half a season with Real Madrid and now he has a new market value of 180 million euros which makes him the most valuable player in the world at the moment. Jude Bellingham occupies first position and is side by side with Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe who have the same market value.

This was an extraordinary achievement and it only took him quite a short time to reach this stage. Maybe his performance at Real Madrid also adds to his market value because as a midfielder he has been the key to victory several times with the goals and assists he has made. He is also the current top scorer in La Liga this season and once again Jude Bellingham is a midfielder and this is very difficult for players in the same position to achieve.

Do you think Jude Bellingham's market value is too high? and shouldn't Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe be able to get a market value of 200 million euros.

Barcelona did not play seriously in this match. Barcelona's second row squad played in this match. Even then I thought Barcelona could win. Because the opponent was quite weak. But Barcelona lost the match 3-2. Xavi should work more on Barcelona's defense. In the last few matches we have seen poor performances from Barcelona's defenders. If Barcelona want to do well in the Champions League and La Liga, the defenders must play well. If the defenders play well, Barcelona's overall performance will be weaker in the future. Xavi should add more talented players in defense in the winter transfer window.

Manchester City still need a midfielder who can replace Kevin Debruyne and Rodri when  injured.They have had a deep inform this season which has made them remain at fourth position on the league table,and it all comes as a result of the  injury to Debruyne and the period when Rodri was absent.But that injury to Rodri showed that he is the most important player at City,and if a team is to win them,they must look for a way to mark Rodri out of the pitch.Pep has known that other premier league teams have seen that they play badly when they are without Rodri,therefore,he must look for a way to provide alternative,someone who can play exactly as he plays,or someone who has similar playing style as Rodri.

The reason for Haaland's decline in performance is just because of De Bruyne's absence. Last season, when de Bruyne was active in Manchester City, he did create most of the opportunities that Haaland was always having, and we all know de Bruyne to be a talented player, he is always creating opportunities for Haaland, and we all know that Haaland is good at positioning himself and scoring goals. But since de Bruyne has been absent since the beginning of the season, Haaland performance has also dropped, he has not been scoring the way he was scoring last season, and nobody is giving Haaland passes the way de Bruyne do.

I wonder if Arsenal regret their decision to replace Unai Emery with Mikel Arteta as the manager of Arsenal. Unai Emery has somehow transformed Villa Park into a solid fortress for Aston Villa this season, and even both Manchester City and Arsenal could not avoid a defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park stadium. I think Aston Villa will beat Sheffield United relatively easily today in front of their home fans.

After what Man United has gone through now, it seems that Ten Hag's position at Man United is still considered safe. No one knows for sure the reason why Man United is still giving Ten Hag a chance. Maybe with the consideration that changing coaches while the competition is still ongoing is a gamble. It might work but there is still potential it will not make things better or it could even end very badly. At least we will still see Ten Hag at Man United until the end of this season.

I don't think if Barcelona is currently in good form because they had a friendly match against Club América and they lost the game with a 3-2 result against this team while I was expecting Barcelona to win the match.
But the good point in the game between Barcelona and Club América was about Xavi using some new players in the team. He decided to use Pau Cubarsí, Ander Astralaga, and Diego Kochen in this match and if I'm not wrong these players were playing for the first team of Barcelona for the first time.

However, it seems that if you look at Manchester United's behavior, they will not be interested in a striker who is only good for one season and we know that Erik Ten Hag is a coach who is very detailed with the players he targets. But as we also know, none of his recruits are right and always experience a decline in performance in his hands. Maybe if a player joins Manchester United it will only destroy the career they have built.

The other options Milan or West Ham are quite interesting and I think if he is interested in the EPL then perhaps he should try to be at West Ham even if they have to fight back for a top spot. But the results will be different if he moves to Milan because joining I Rossonerri will make his career better with an already organized squad. Milan has also considered a replacement for Giroud, who is getting old, so that if Guirassy comes to Milan he will get regular playing minutes.

Guirassy is indeed better than Hojlund at the moment, but if we talk about Hojlund's previous season at Atalanta, he was a good striker and was always useful for the club. But the story was different when he arrived at Old Trafford, in fact he experienced a long drought and has not scored his first goal in the EPL so far. I'm worried that Guirassy will suffer the same fate if he chooses Manchester United as his new club.

Playing for a draw match that didn't happen upon they are the home team hosting the match with a complete eleven male players while their visitor "Real Madrid'' had only ten male players because of a red card given.
After losing to Real Madrid in this match, Deportivo Alaves dropped from their previous 12 spots to the 16th spot(3 points above the relegation zone) However, Real Madrid's victory over Deportivo Alaves in today's match has moved them up over Girona(although the same points).

So far Serhou Guirassy has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart and this season has indeed been the peak of his performance. No one expected him to be a very good goal machine this season and even surpass his number of goals last season. With the goals he always scores, he continues to keep Stuttgart in 3rd place in the Bundesliga standings to date.

Anyway, soon the January transfer window will open and considering that Serhou Guirassy's release clause is only around 17.5 million euros, which team will succeed in getting him? I'm pretty sure there will be a fight for big European teams to get him, especially teams that lack good strikers like Manchester United or others who will definitely hunt him down soon. That's a very cheap release clause and I don't think there's anything to lose if you want to bring Sehrou Guirassy from Stuttgart.

Simone Inzaghi found the Coppa Italia elimination in extra time ‘galling’ after Bologna staged a rapid comeback and confirms Lautaro Martinez’s injury ‘needs to be evaluated.’

Barcelona are in a bad run of form.I saw them struggle to beat Almeria, who are at the bottom of the league and are certain to be relegated.I didn't expect them to struggle so much even though it was at home.I think Barcelona gave their opponent too many chances.I think it's a bad result for them that the match ended 3-2 despite playing 65% of the ball and having 30 shots at home.Of course it's important that they got 3 points, but I don't think it makes sense to have such a difficult win against an opponent who has not won yet and has 5 points after 17 games.

Currently there are three teams in the top standings whose points are quite close and even almost the same as those of Liverpool and Aston Villa. This means that everyone also has to pay attention to the Aston Villa team apart from the Arsenal and Liverpool teams, who this week will meet in a match at Liverpool's home ground. Meanwhile, Aston Villa will meet the bottom team in the Premier League at home so the potential to win the match will be much greater for Aston Villa and it will certainly be quite profitable for Aston Villa if the Liverpool vs Arsenal match ends in a draw.

Patrik Schick is one of the players who is still young and has the potential to become great when he gets training that suits his skills. He will probably get a lot of fans in the coming years when he just focuses on becoming one of the best football players in the world, with wins in This match brought Bayer Leverkusen to first place at the top of the standings. At least Bayern Munich has a very strong opponent and does not always dominate the Bundesliga from season to season. Bayer Leverkusen has a chance to win this season, so you have to remain careful because it is a tough task for Xabi Alonso to maintain his position until the games this season are over.

Curtis Jones was massive today and scored twice. Liverpool really bossed the midfield and the wings. Leaving no chance for West Ham to do anything about it. Next up against the league leaders in Arsenal who are just 1 point ahead but it's a home game for Liverpool at Anfield.  The title race is heating up between the top 5. Spurs and Man City are lagging but can always make a push back to top by heating up. Much easier for City in that respect as Spurs are really struggling with injuries.
