De Bruyne returned to the Man City lineup and all clubs were worried, which is understandable because in the match against Newcastle yesterday, the Belgian player proved it once again. Just waiting for Halaand to be in Pep Guardiola starting XI, then City will be ready to return to the race in their ambition to defend the trophy and win it again. A worry that has temporarily subsided, City bargaining chip will now increase with each game, but praise often leaves many clubs complacent on many occasions. Pep ambition to continue dominating the EPL this season feels more difficult, where he has to maintain the players motivation to remain hungry for the championship trophy after last season great success.

The competition for the top four in the standings and the battle for the top position is temporarily in Liverpool control, Man City is a tough competitor and will continue to press from second position. Jurgen Klopp and his squad have slightly better statistics and Pep, only loses in terms of goal productivity with City, but in terms of the number of goals conceded, the Reds are the team that has experienced the fewest, their defense line is quite good at the moment. However, in the next few matches Liverpool will have tough matches, after facing Bournemouth, Chelsea and Arsenal they will test the consistency of Klopp fleet. I think that's the best chance for Man City to return to the top of the standings, even though we know it won't be easy.

It is possible that Liverpool and Man City will stumble, so that Aston Villa, which is often overlooked in the competition, takes over the top of the standings. We can see that the number of points scored by Unai Emery fleet is the same as City, so even though City and Liverpool have the opportunity to form the axis of competition at the end of the season, ignoring Aston Villa just like that would be a mistake. Regarding Arsenal, I think they are still very difficult to predict, the performance of Arteta men is very erratic, sometimes I think that betting on their victory is very risky. But despite all that, I'm sure Arsenal will improve themselves so as not to repeat mistakes like last season, the Gunners are still on track to hunt for trophies.

Madrid managed to make amends for last season, El Clasico is a duel to beat each other and will forever be like that, Los Blancos managed to get on the podium and they deserve it. There is no more important note to remember after the match, except for Barcelona performance which needs to be renewed in all sectors, losing and winning is normal, but losing with a margin of 4 goals is questionable. Xavi is a person who is fully responsible, he must immediately find a solution not to go wider than the actual path, Xavi is required to keep Barcelona on the actual path. There are three other competitions currently underway, Barcelona must forget about failure and look to the future.

Regarding the Madrid versus Almeria match, the capital possessed by Los Blancos is certainly much better than Almeria, which was only able to hold Girona to a draw in the previous match. I agree with you, while still respecting Almeria, without needing further analysis to come to the conclusion that Madrid deserves to be favored. On paper, Madrid can easily finish this match and secure full points, plus this match will also be held at the Santiago Bernabeu. So for that reason, I think betting on Madrid winning would be very safe to do, without needing to worry too much about surprises that could occur.

Almeria ambition to achieve their first win this season seems to have been postponed again, they need a miracle to steal points at the Santiago Bernabeu. As sad as their fate is this season, it looks like Almeria chances of surviving the threat of relegation are very small. Last season Almeria was able to stay in La Liga after finishing in 17th place, one point different from Valladolid in 18th place, but this season their fate is even more tragic. Apart from that, Madrid ambition for the future is to return to the top of the standings, I think Los Blancos are capable of taking over the top of the standings from Girona.

Benar, jika angaka Golput masih terlalu tinggi maka Pemilu masih di anggap kurang sukses, salah satu tolak ukur kesuksesan Pemilu terletak pada partisipasi Masyarakat yang hadir ke TPS. Peran dan kinerja Lembaga penyelenggara Pemilu mestinya harus di tinggkatkan, untuk mesosialisasikan Masyarakat untuk tidak Golput, terlepas dari anggapan umum dan tingkat kepercayaan mereka terhadap calon Legislatif ataupun eksekutif. Dinamika Politik yang terjadi saat ini telah mengubah banyak hal, secara pribadi sepertinya krisis kepercayaan tidak hanya saya saja yang merasakannya, bahkan saya yakin banyak orang yang masih mempertimbangkan mana pilihan terbaik mereka untuk pasangan calon Presiden dan Wakil Presiden kedepan.

Leverkusen will face three tough teams in their next five matches, in two Bundeliga competitions and the DFB Pokal. A period that will reveal who they really are, how strong they are, and how far they can maintain their unbeaten record. Believing that Xabi and his Armada will remain on track is reasonable, there is no worry whatsoever apart from the absence of his key players, Xabi will enter the real test.

Three of them are Leipzig and Bayern Munchen (Bundesliga) and Stuttgart (DPB Pokal). If they can overcome this challenge then Leverkusen chances of winning the trophy are very high, and we know that all the teams that will face Leverkusen are very motivated to break their record, especially Bayern .How hot Xabi hand is this season, who managed to polish the Leverkusen squad untouched with a single defeat. If Bayern can't be a stumbling block for them, then I'm sure Leverkusen will win the trophy this season.

We know that the competition for the Bundesliga trophy this season is only between Leverkusen and Bayern, and I think this competition will continue until the season ends. Meanwhile at DFB Pokal Leverkusen chances are quite big, if they manage to beat Stuttgart then their chance of winning the trophy is 80%, I don't see that the opponents in the semifinals and final are that tough. Overall, Xabi has the opportunity to present a trophy for his club this season, of course that is very good for his future managerial career.

I am very surprised by the transfer rumors linking Benzema with Premier League clubs, previously Benzema was linked with Man United and now with Chelsea, we know that both EPL clubs need proven strikers, but the chance of recruiting Benzema is very small in my opinion. Because the main reason this rumor is growing is because Benzema is not in harmony with the manager. If you think wildly, Al Ittihad management seems to prefer to let go of their manager rather than Benzema.

Al Ittihad goal in recruiting Benzema is to improve the club image. The big name, reputation and individual awards attached to Benzema made Al Ittihad recruit him, I don't understand if they are willing to let him go in the January transfer window. However, the opportunities for clubs interested in Benzema are very open, but the challenges are very difficult. Sure enough, PIF has more money than Todd Boehly and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Speculation regarding Benzema move seems to be just a rumor, it will not be realized because of the challenges he faces. So far there has been no official confirmation from the player, nor from Al Ittihad itself. And transfer expert Fabrizio Romano hasn't said anything like "Here We Go", but I will wait to see how this rumor ends.

Barcelona defeat with a margin of 4 goals left a big question mark, what actually happened at this time with Xavi fleet, so that Barcelona lost surprisingly. Weak defense is a major factor, and their front line is also somewhat barren, it is true that Barcelona needs refreshment in the team. However, firing Xavi is not the right choice, because it would be very risky for a worse decline in performance. Deco said that everyone in the club top ranks still trusts Xavi completely, which means Xavi is still safe even under pressure.

On the other hand, of course I would like to congratulate Los Blancos, their mission to overcome last season mistakes paid off, Ancelotti succeeded in bringing his fleet to the podium in the Spanish Super Cup. Maybe Madrid this season is too tough for any team except ATM, because they lost to Diego Simeone fleet in La Liga. Barcelona was devastated this time, and Los Blancos will continue their mission against ATM in the Copa del Rey. I predict that Ancelotti fleet will win the round of 16 match, but ATM clearly doesn't want to be knocked out again by Madrid like in the semi final of the Spanish Super Cup yesterday.

Indeed, many believe that Barcelona is currently in an unstable period, so fans demands for changes within the team continue to resonate. I think it's a natural reaction, because Barcelona fans certainly want to see their favorite team succeed every season. However, I am still very curious about how Barcelona management will utilize this January transfer window, it seems that Xavi is not very active in recruiting new players to add depth to the squad, yes I know that Barcelona is in a financial crisis.

I think the match between Atalanta versus Frosinone is very interesting, because if Gasperini fleet manages to secure full points then Napoli and Bologna positions will automatically be shifted again. On paper, Atalanta seems to be able to do it, because as we have seen, the reputations of the two in previous matches are very different, where Atalanta is much more worthy of being superior. On the other hand, Atalanta will play in front of their own supporters, Frosinone will certainly need hard work and luck to steal points in their capacity as a visiting team.

I think to bet on Atalanta winning will be quite safe, they can make us lucky. However, we certainly understand what surprise means, but Frosinone is unlikely to be able to bring Atalanta to its knees. I am sure that Frosinone maximum performance is a draw, Atalanta will not bend their knees to them at home. I think Atalanta will dictate the match, but we'll see how this match ends.

Atalanta ambition to penetrate the top four of the standings is the background for securing points, while Frosinone certainly wants to create a safe distance from the relegation zone, which is now only two points away. The player injuries suffered by both of them will certainly affect their chances of winning, but I think the match will not be boring to watch.

With Sir Jim Ratcliffe taking over full authority in determining the club direction and policies after acquiring a 25% stake in United, Ten Hag will of course have to try even harder to win over their new boss. If previously no one had full authority to fire anyone at the club, now Ratcliffe will do it with pleasure. United performance benchmarks are the basis for consideration, not only Ten Hag, but players who have minimal contribution have the potential to be released as well.

I still consider Ten Hag and his fleet lucky yesterday, because they didn't suffer defeat, with Ratcliffe and Rooney watching the match live from the stands. I think The Red Devils will indeed start a new project with Ratcliffe, the second half of the season will be used as a reference to fix all shortcomings in the future. However, Ten Hag could be fired early if he still loses too many points.

I think United has a chance of finishing in the top ten, but the chances of reaching the European zone are very slim. The most realistic target is to finish in the European league zone and that could ease the fans disappointment a little, but there is no guarantee that Ten Hag will be retained. Playing a draw against Tottenham yesterday was actually not bad because you were still able to pocket 1 point, who knows, next week United can secure 3 points when facing Wolves.

However, it does not rule out the possibility that meetings with fellow favorite teams will occur earlier, perhaps in the quarter finals or semi finals, and what is clear is that there will only be two teams in the final. I agree that Madrid and Man City is an ideal final, but it must be in the context of not underestimating any team, because we know the UCL is full of drama and surprises. Bayern Munchen this season has quite a high bargaining value in every competition, Kane presence in their front line makes their chances of winning higher.

Teams like Inter Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona, Dortmund could be lucky, like PSG were lucky to escape from the hellish group and advance to the round of 16. So I think everything will be clear when the round of 16 starts again in mid February, currently the transfer window is still open and several teams are evaluating their respective shortcomings and looking for solutions by taking advantage of the transfer window.

De Bruyne return to Pep Guardiola starting XI was welcomed by fans, we have seen his role in the match against Newcastle yesterday. One goal and one assist proves that he is the heart of City game. It must be admitted that the absence of key players automatically makes their chances of winning lower, overall injuries play a big role in affecting the stability of a team.

Napoli have of course experienced many setbacks this season. That's why they sit in seventh place in Serie A, two points adrift of the top four and this will likely increase because Fiorentina have yet to finish their match, and Napoli are 20 points behind leaders Inter Milan. In my opinion, Napoli will definitely fail to defend the Scudetto this season, and will most likely end the season without winning any trophy, maybe Inter will also win the Italian Super Cup this season.

Napoli still has a chance to finish in the top four of the standings and that is still quite open. Yesterday victory over Salernitana could have been a turning point in their performance to be more consistent in the future. Before the 16th round of the UCL rolls around again, Walter Mazzarri must be able to form his fleet to be more solid, because the challenges in the UCL require a harder fight than in Serie A. If Napoli can recover, they have the opportunity to win the Italian Super Cup, but there is Inter who will be favorite team there.

Osimhen is a key player in Mazzarri lineup, without his presence it makes it difficult for Napoli to win. We have seen that when they played against the team at the bottom of the standings, Napoli had difficulty winning and securing full points. Without Osimhem, Napoli chances of winning are very low, but we hope he can return from the National Team fit, because if he suffers an injury like before, Napoli will be at a big disadvantage in this case.

I would be surprised if Benzema is willing to move this January, because at Benzema age, he is 36 years old, only a few clubs dare to offer the same salary that Benzema received at Al Ittihad. We know that it was a luxurious salary that made Benzema go to the SPL, and I think that is a natural thing, because the football industry is not just about talent and play. If I'm not mistaken, Lyon, Madrid and United are reportedly interested in bringing Benzema back to Europe.

However, personally I'm not sure that will happen, but if the rumors are true, then I hope Benzema can move to Man United and play in the EPL. Martial is rumored to be leaving Old Trafford soon, automatically Ten Hag can only hope for Honjund, Benzema may still be worth considering even though he is 36 years old. The most sensible option to recruit Benzema is to borrow him from Al Ittihad.

The opportunity to recruit him does exist, because Benzema relationship with the Al Ittihad coach is reportedly not very harmonious, it is clear that United management can take advantage of this. However, as I said at the beginning, this possibility is very small, because I believe the challenge faced by the Red Devils in recruiting Benzema lies in his salary, unless Benzema is willing to cut the amount his salary.

Man United managed to hold Tottenham to a draw, the final score 2-2 was quite fair for both of them. As a big club that is in decline, United escaped defeat tonight, I even thought that Tottenham would embarrass the Red Devils at Old Trafford. I watched the progress of the match, where the mentality of Ange squad was not shaken even though they were surprised by a quick goal from Hojlund, therefore I think United were lucky to survive defeat.

For fans, this result is certainly very disappointing, United weak midfield and defense were factors in the match ending in a draw, but I have to praise Hojlund and Rashford performance tonight. We know that Tottenham are more stable this season than United, maybe if Son is in Tottenham lineup tonight then Ten Hag will find it difficult to sleep well tonight.

Totttenham failed to penetrate the top four of the standings and overtake Arsenal, while the Red Devils are still stuck in seventh position in the standings. The United fans disappointment was of course very big, because their team had taken the lead twice, before it all fell draw. It looks like it would be better this season not to expect much from the Ten Hag squad, being eliminated in the UCL and focusing completely on the EPL has not made United performance improve according to fans expectations.

Girona failed to take advantage of the opportunity to get full points and Almeria caught them off guard this time. I'm sure many people lost their bets on this match, because everyone believes that Girona will not lose points when facing bottom club Almeria. However, the surprise that occurred has broken many previous predictions, but I don't think this is the beginning of a decline in Girona performance this season, Aramda Michel is still on track to compete closely with Los Blancos at the top of the standings.

It's true, Girona was still lucky because they avoided defeat after one of their players received a red card, and Almeria failed to take advantage of their superior number of players. La Liga has entered its 20th season, but Almeria has not tasted the sweetness of victory, only being able to achieve 6 draws as its best achievement. Among Europe top five leagues, Almeria is a team that has not won a single win in domestic competitions.

Madrid received a blessing from Almeria draw against Girona, and has a great opportunity to create a points gap. I hope Girona can appear consistent in future matches, to provide competition to Madrid. Because we know that Barcelona and ATM, which usually do it, are a little unstable this season, but there are still many matches ahead where things will improve, and the competition for trophies will become fierce again.

The match ended without a winner with a final score of 0-0. Everton, who has the ambition to move away from the degradation zone, held Aston Villa to a draw, who are in top form. Aston Villa dominated possession of the ball throughout the match, but Everton defense today was very difficult to explore, Everton counter attacks threatened Aston Villa goal several times. Statistically, Unai Emery fleet dominated, but none of the opportunities were converted into goals, it could be said that their strategy did not work effectively.

Aston Villa automatically failed to overtake Man City and had to be willing to sit in third place in the standings, while Everton is still in 17th position in the standings, one level above the relegation zone. I think this draw is very understandable, and I think Aston Villa still has a chance to enliven the competition at the top of the standings. To be honest, Aston Villa is still lucky to be able to stay in the top four of the standings, and a draw against Everton is not bad at all.

Arsenal is Aston Villa closest competitor at the moment, if Arteta fleet can beat Crystal Palace, then Man City, Aston Villa and Arsenal will collect the same number of points, namely 43. How fierce the competition in the top four is currently, we can imagine if Chelsea and Man United also adds to the dynamics of competition. A picture that reflects how competitive the EPL is, I'm sure next week there will be drama swapping top standings, but Liverpool is still untouched.

Sahncho proved that Ten Hag was wrong to ignore him at United, we know that the dispute can be resolved with just an apology. However, Sancho failed to do this, and Ten Hag also remained firm in his principles. Dortmund is lucky to be able to use the services of this English international player, whose presence can help the club fight to break into the top four of the standings, even if only for 6 months.

The assist recorded by Sancho gave mixed reactions among football fans, Ten Hag became a target and the object of ridicule. We certainly wish Sancho the best, and hopefully he won't make similar mistakes again in his second period with Dortmund. In terms of quality, Sancho is considered a potential young player, but from the coach point of view he is very difficult to manage.

If Sancho makes a significant contribution to Dortmund, I think he will be prioritized for permanent recruitment, and returning to Old Trafford is not an option if Ten Hag is still head coach. For this reason, I think Sancho needs to do it again and again, not only assist, but score goals for Dortmund in the future.

Bayern Munchen management never imagined that Toni Kroos would become a legend at Santiago Bernebeu. Bayern request for a salary increase that could not be fulfilled at that time made him choose to leave, and this step turned out to be very appropriate. Madrid seems to very often recruit players from Bayern, if the recruitment of Alphonso Davies is realized then it is certain that they will release Ferland Mendy to another club.

It must be admitted that Perez is very astute when it comes to player transfers, he is very discerning in seeing opportunities that benefit them. Players whose contracts are about to expire, relatively young, will always be his target. Perez knows very well where Madrid position is in negotiations. I mean Madrid has a high bargaining chip, and the player will choose not to extend his contract if he gets an offer from Los Blancos, exactly the same as their transfer plans for Mbappe.

Ancelotti seems to prioritize recruiting players who can occupy several positions, in other words versatile players. The aim is very understandable, because it gives him several options to experiment, as well as anticipate other players who are injured.

You are right, Arteta needs to recruit players in the January transfer window to add depth to the squad, but the challenge of getting players who suit his strategy will be very difficult. If Arsenal still dreams of winning the EPL trophy this season, then they must create consistency while waiting for Liverpool, Man City and Aston Villa to experience bad days. The front line is one of the weaknesses of Arteta fleet this season, if they don't immediately find a solution then it's no surprise they will return to a story like last season.

While there is still a chance to compete for the title, Arteta must evaluate the shortcomings of his squad from now on. The bigger concern lies with injured players, and Arsenal also released two players to strengthen their national team. On the other hand, there are still 18 matches remaining to make everything possible, and it would be a shame to end the season without winning any title.

Next, Arsenal will face Crystal Palace, I think the Gunners will not lose points, even though they are not in good condition, they have to forget the two previous defeats. However, if the opposite happens, in my opinion, Arsenal will be knocked out of the team challenging for the title, and their position will be overtaken by Tottenham in the top four of the standings.

Saya setuju dengan sikap anda untuk tidak menjadi Golput, karena hak suara kita bisa disalah gunakan untuk kepentingan pribadi segelintir orang, ujungnya untuk mendukung salah satu calon. Dengan ikut mencoblos berarti sudah meminimalisir kecurangan, dan kita sudah ikut andil dalam menentukan arah masa depan Negara. Seandainya sumua masyarakat mamahami dengan baik arti dar hak pilihnya, maka tentu penyelenggaraan Pemilu akan di anggap sukses. Namun masih banyak dari kalangan kita yang enggan untuk berpartisipasi, sikap mereka bisa dimengerti karena krisis kepercayaan pada hasil Pemilu.

Untuk calon Presiden kedepan antara Anies, Prabowo dan Ganjar saya belum menentukan pilihan, namun saya mencoba mencermati siapa yang lebih realistis dalam urusan janji kampanye mereka. Sebab sebagian besarnya janji kampanye hanya sebatas bualan, dan hanya sedikit yang bisa di realisasikan ketika menjabat. Jikapun ada, hal itu sering di lakukan di penghujung masa jabatan, sebab ingin mencalonkan diri kembali. Pada kesimpulannya itu semua hanya pendapat pribadi saja, terlepas dari apapun kita sebagai masyarakat mestinya ikut memilih dan jangan Golput.

Secara garis besar tolak ukur suksesnya penyelenggaraan Pemilihan Umum (Pemilu) terletak pada sedikitnya pelanggaran hukum. Sedikit banyaknya kita tentu sudah memahami bagaimana jalannya dinamika perpolitikan Indonesia, dimana pada setiap penyelenggaraan Pemilu hampir selalu ada pelanggaran dan sengketa. Tolak ukurnya disini, jika jumlahnya pelanggaran menurun maka penyelenggaraan Pemilu berarti terbilang sukses. Ada banyak sekali bentuk pelanggaran, baik berupa administratif atau yang masuk ranah Pidana, secara pribadi semakin sedikit pelanggaran atau kecurangan maka hasil dari Pemilu akan semakin baik, terserah siapapun yang terpilih.

Selain itu, yang menjadi tolak ukur suksesnya Pemilu selanutnya adalah jumlah pemilih yang datang ke tempat pemungutan suara (TPS). Jika banyak pemilih yang tidak memberikan hak suaranya maka Pemilu belum di anggap sukses, sebab hakikatnya rakyat sudah tidak percaya kepada peserta Pemilu, peserte Pemilu yang saya maksud adalah Presiden dan Wakil, serta Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (Pusat-Daerah). Dalam bahasa yang lebih familiar semakin banyak orang yang GOLPUT maka penyelenggaraan Pemilu belumlah sukses.

Sebenarnya masih ada banyak lagi yang menjadi tolak ukur suksesnya Pemilu, namun secara garis besar hal yang lain tersebut merupakan turunan dari dua variabel diatas. Satu hal lainnya adalah keberadaan lembaga survey yang sering kali mengklaim sesuatu, bukan hanya elektabilitas Paslon saja, terkadang lembaga survey tersebut juga tidak jarang mengatakan tentang sukses tidaknya kinerja penyelenggara Pemilu, dan secara pribadi saya tidak mempercayai statement mereka.

There is a lot of advice that can motivate gamblers to stop, but what is effective is self awareness to stop, because no matter how much advice from people closest to you, it will never be effective. For novice gamblers, it is difficult for us to detect their presence if they are just starting out, Unless they tell us about what they are doing. Because the behavior of novice gamblers is still the same and continues as normal habits, if you find someone close to you is trying to start gambling then it is worth giving advice.

Stop before it's too late and forget about the money you have spent on gambling. Never plan to return the money, because it is a vicious chain that binds thoughts, money and time. Give examples of people who are bankrupt to friends, relatives, relatives who are experiencing a beginner phase, otherwise we cannot restrain them in their actions.

There is a saying "if you bring a suitcase of money to the gambling table then all you will take home is the suitcase".
