cases like this have been around since that time, when Mbappe was given an offer by another team, there was always unclear drama and some blamed Mbappe or some also said this drama came from PSG who only wanted to keep their star player.
I understand that PSG management has made every effort to retain its flagship player, but the only question is whether Mbappe is actually willing to stay with a salary twice as high as before?
PSG being one of the richest has large finances and offering a large salary to Mbappe will not be a problem for team management but for the future Mbappe will not have a great career to get prestigious titles whereas if Mbappe only thinks about money it seems like a big mistake because he has sponsors from various directions who will give him a large income so he should prefer one with an appropriate salary but can choose the right team that guarantees that he can win a prestigious title in the UCL and the best choice is Real Madrid.

two players you say make sense if they replace Mbappe, but we also have to see how Vlahovic was when he was at Juventus and how Napoli is currently doing so for me it is difficult to get Vlahovic because Juventus will definitely retain him for the reason that they don't have the right replacement yet. Unless Juventus managed to get Lukaku last season, it is likely that Vlahovic could be sold to PSG, but not this time.
and Napoli is currently experiencing a player management crisis after changing coaches several times affecting the future of the team and we can see how Napoli current performance is very bad, it's just that they are lucky to have Osimhen who still has the strength to score and give victory to Napoli so this player also will be maintained.

I think going back to last season's plan when PSG tried to bring in Gancalo Ramos from Benfica on loan and make it permanent and develop the talent he has, maybe this would make more sense.
There are times where a player's performance is shaded by the general team outcome in every game. Juventus have been a good side and they've been improving incredibly as weeks go by. Even though the tussle for the Serie A trophy is still on and they're striving to stay in shape. Even though Vlahovic is rumoured to leave Juventus soon, it's kind of a bad news for the club but they've just got to find a replacement for him. For the player, he shouldn't feel too relaxed that the team's glory and progress is shielding his flaws. He ought to do better than he's currently doing to ensure his starting choice with another team. To also prevent his flaws from being evident and reason for the next team's failure. He's good, he only needs to work and improve on his abilities.

 It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him. For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run. Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side.

 Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i didn't think they were set to afford that amount for him during the January transfer window. Let's just anticipate summer break whilst watching his movement decision unfold. Well before now, Mbappe was a prospect but Ancelloti has said for now he won't be making any change to his squad and he's comfortable with them. I believe they have what it takes to get the species of forward they want in the team and the team's commitment and bond would really boost their results.

Successfully beating Juventus was Napoli's biggest win this season and it looks like there is hope with their new coach, because in the last two matches they succeeded in winning big over Sassuolo and beating one of the strongest teams this season Juventus and that lifted their ranking in the standings for the better and next facing Torino the opportunity to get three points is very wide open because Torino is a mid-table team whose appearance is also unstable.

Napoli managed to control the course of the match against Juventus, they didn't give their guest team many opportunities to control the ball, however, Juventus made more attempts even though only four of them were on target and only one was able to score a goal, while the home team which was ahead in the first half succeeded regained the lead after his opponent managed to equalize.

If Inter Milan wins over Genoa then the point difference with Juventus will be 15 points, a number that will be difficult for Juventus to catch, especially since they seem to be having difficulty winning because in the last five matches they have only managed to get four points and that is enough to close their chances of winning. Serie A champions this season.
Napoli were suffering a back slide for weeks with Garcia as their head and his assessment period got exhausted and the board weren't impressed in the assessment result so they had to let him off to welcome in Mazarri. The new head had good records with himself and his previous encounters and there was confidence in his display of managerial skills. Their first game paid out fine, his second game wasn't too bad as Madrid is currently in a better form than them, so I wouldn't really have judged his performances in thesame range. There was a likelihood hood that his next encounter would have been good too. Everyone awaited how he'd uphold his team when they face the top two teams in the league. Inter and Juventus were themselves threatening, not to mention the teams that aren't so much as good as them but it was not still a hopeless situation. The man had good quality and ability in himself and I was convinced in his methods, Napoli were gradually back to the team we know them as before now and they definitely stood a chance against the two big opponents.

 The Italian side recently haven't had good strides in their league tussles and it's effect is gradually going to be seen. They ought to cover up their lapses but they aren't having what it takes. It only costed them a lot as care wasn't taking to repair these losses. There was no time left and their contests on the league tables were shaky, Mazarri only had to find a way around his team to cushion the drastic effects of their recent performances but since he couldn't they had to get a replacement that'll be able to place them rightly. Well the new coach hasn't really made any big impact but so far, the team's performance have been better, they're even far more competitive and aggressive on the pitch as they used to and kudos to their forward man and the team in general who have been striving to remain at the peak of their performances.

 They were able to gain the three points against Juventus, which is definitely a boost and push for them. One would hope that this tempo is maintained till the end of the season because it's only that way that the team would finish at a meaningful spot in the Serie A table. Their forth coming games hopefully will derive a better results for them at the end of the season too but if they can successfully conquer this season to some reasonable extent, it'll be advisable that they work generally on the management aspect of the squad as positive changes would need to be made by next season.

Bayern Munich last two weeks released a statement that they're going to part ways with their current manager Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season and that I think was definitely caused by the club's poor performances since the start of the season but I think the club management was fair enough to allow him stay at the club till end of the current season because personally, I'm of the opinion that Thomas Tuchel is supposed to be sacked before this very moment. It's absolutely embarrassing that Bayer Leverkusen are currently leading the league table with 10 points with an average team while Bayern Munich who has spent excessively more than any other club in the German Bundesliga this season are struggling to catch up with Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern Munich deserves a better manager than Thomas Tuchel an experienced manager in that matter who'll help the club improve significantly and if should they continue with their current performance, Lazio might just eliminate them in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Bayern Leverkusen who are currently at the top of the league table have done exceptionally this season and I think it'll be absolutely hurting for them not to win the league title at the end of the season. They must be focused and treat each league game like a final in other to make sure they win the German league this season. Bayern Munich's dominance of the German league in the last eleven years have made the league absolutely boring for many football fans across the globe and if Bayer Leverkusen succeeds to win it this season, i think it'll draw the attention of many football fans across the globe to German league.
Munich's performance has been lingering far behind their usual tempo, which is so odd for them. They've got the skill set they need, the beginning was lit and top notch for them even though Leverkusen kept giving them hard time to fight through games but they strived to stay in shape but recently, it's been a different story so far as both the coach and players haven't been able to prove their worthiness. Tuchel's presence in the team ought to make a significant impact to their endeavors all time and also Kane's performance needed to add a big advantage to them but so far, their recent games have turned out opposite of their normal and expected performance rate.

 It'll only mean that their journey this season to a top spot is threatened and no one can say exactly if they'll be able to scale through it. They've not been encouraging and it's quite appaling that they remain depreciated week after week. Sadly though, Tuchel's stay in the club is seemingly threatened, his days are actually numbered and it's understandable that the management would want a switch for the coach position as they expected him to be better considering how much effort his put in recent times and even with flaws, they need not to keep overlooking it as it's unending.

 Well it'll only task them to find a proper hand that'll replace Tuchel's as so far they need not to take their chances and cause this to continue unto the next season. Alonso is being quested for and if they're able to secure him, well, hopefully he'll be able to take them out of the state they are. His records are speaking for him and so it's understandable that they see him as a proper prospect for the job ahead in the club.

It should be an easy match for Arsenal, even though the match against Sheffield Utd is an away match for the Gunners. on paper, the Gunners have a high probability of getting full points to take them home to the Emirates Stadium. even though the condition of several players is in doubt whether they can appear or not, playing against Sheffield Utd is not a big problem if we talk on a theoretical basis. In this match, Partey, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu's status is in doubt whether they will play or not. because, in fact, it is not certain that Tomiyasu and Zinchenko have fully recovered from their injuries. It's different with Partey, he recovers at the right moment. yeah, Thomas Partey has reportedly recovered and is ready to play again with his teammates. even though it looks like he will start from the substitute bench, Arteta gets additional energy at the right moment. Arsenal's mainstay midfielder, really needed at the right moment with his stability. if I refer to Arteta's predicted line-up, as usual Arteta seems to be fielding the same pattern and players as in the previous match. however, the starting eleven situation could change, and we will find out before the match takes place.

On the other hand, even though Sheffield Utd is the home team, to match or provide resistance to Arsenal, we can imagine that Sheffield Utd will have to work hard to do so. even then, it's not as easy as we talked about. moreover, Sheffield Utd is a team that is in the bottom zone of the standings. however, in football it is unique. sometimes, the results are beyond our expectations. By the way, the Gunners will not waste the opportunity to keep their distance from the two teams above their ranking by overthrowing the home team. referring to the bookmaker's options, betting 1×2 is not an ideal choice at all. so there are two options that I think we can choose, Over or handicap. the point is, the Gunners will score 2 goals in this match. so, let's wait for the match between these two teams to be held.


The race for the EPL battle is now growing more fierce especially after having Liverpool get a last minute victory from a lone goal from Darwin Nunez. The victory was able to save the day for them and help them maintain top spot of the league.We also have Manchester City winning their neighbors and painting Manchester Blue in a 3-1 resounding victory. This victory could also mean that they’re not coming to joke in this EPL title race also.

 These victories in these matches could only mean one thing for Arsenal and that means that Arsenal’s match against Sheffield tonight is a must win for ArsenAl if they still want to remain in the title race.  The pressure is now mounting on the Arsenal players and I hope they’re able to manage this pressure. It’s one thing to be very good with the ball and get the wins and it’s also a different kind of game entirely when there’s the presence of pressure in a match. Pressure could make them not behave optimally like they are supposed to.

 This match should be an easy one for Arsenal and it’ll mark the 7th consecutive win for them and I’m hoping to see a large rain of goals in this fixture. Yes it’s very possible especially as this is the worst defense of the EPL and especially as they’re still sitting pretty bottom of the log. I’ll sure be going on Arsenal to win and have over 3 goals in this fixture because the addition of most of her players who’s just recovered is a big boost for them ahead of this fixture and other major fixtures in the race.

Inter Milan is still a strong candidate in the race for the Champions League title because last season they also performed very impressively in this big competition and were able to reach the final even though in the end they failed because Manchester City managed to beat them, but precisely because of that, Inter Milan wants to make amends for their previous mistake by returning. performed impressively in the Champions League. Inter Milan now looks much stronger when compared to last season, just look at how it maintains its top position in Italian League standings with quite a big difference to Juventus and it has also only experienced 1 defeat in the domestic league. Even though last season Inter Milan did not perform very well in the league domestically but they still reached the Champions League final. This is not a coincidence because I believe their performance this season has proven that their performance has improved.

In my opinion, Real Madrid is also appearing strong in the domestic league, even though they are a little weak, but that doesn't mean their performance is not good because in fact they also won the most titles in La Liga. Even though their performance is currently a little less than optimal, they are still maximizing their draws so that they don't experience defeat, even their position In the domestic league, they are currently in first place. I'm sure that even though they are a little inferior, Real Madrid can still win the domestic league title. Meanwhile, Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League is already known as the strongest club because they have won many big titles. Their current performance cannot be taken for granted, however, the competition in the Champions League is currently a bit complicated because each club has its own advantages and disadvantages and have improved their performance as best as possible so they can compete for the title, we'll see who will get the Champions League title in the end.
The way teams are going hard on the Ucl it’s one notable fact that truly investing in a team is profitable as you’re sure of it growing and achieving results. The Inter Milan team over few years were able to invest and build their team and achieved some great feats. Take for example last season and watch the way they performed, they played very compact and took the UCL more seriously and that got them to the final of that competition. Though they weren’t able to get the trophy but you can see the level of development in that team.

 They were able to grow and right now they’re both challenging for the league and the UCL. In the league, they’re having a wide gap away from Juventus and you can already crown them the winner and for the UCL, they’re having a great time too. You can see how the team play very compactly in the UCL, they’re one very organized team when playing in the UCL and you can see the determination and zeal to be able to achieve something great in this competition.

 Real Madrid are a team that’s said to be top of the European competition and they’re yearly seen as favorites for this competition.This season they’re very on fire in the UCL and also the league though injury is seeming to have it’s tow on them but I feel they can be able to overcome. I see them winning the league and the UCL

Madrid should have to thank Vinicius for saving them from a humiliating defeat, before the game started many of us here doubted if Valencia could get points in the game, although when we see Madrid could dominate the match but in fact Madrid defense was not as good as in the previous match, I personally did not expect that Valencia even easily scored two goals in the game only within 3 minutes.

Luckily for madrid to have vinicius in the front line when they were even more depressed in valencia's second goal, vinicius' impressive performance was at least able to make madrid avoid defeat and finally forced a score of 2-2 as the end of the game, the draw obtained by madrid now actually paved the way for girona to again disturb madrid in the race for the La Liga champion this season,  Currently Madrid and Girona have a gap of 7 points at the moment and it will most likely be reduced to 4 points if Girona manages to beat Mallorca today.
I think Ancelloti must immediately improve their often inconsistent defensive performance if they don't want their position to be taken over by Girona, especially in the next few weeks, Madrid has a tight schedule in facing difficult opponents both in La Liga and the Champions League.
In football, the outcome of each game is always a decider especially in the domestic leagues, it's either there's an advancement in the table or the team goes down from its position, here's one reason why every game should be played sternly. In the La Liga currently, Real Madrid are currently at the greater part of the league and they sure do know how to supercede other teams. They've had injury set backs in the past week and still they were able to conquer their UCL opponent, this weekend won't be any different because their opponent has not really been consistent in the league.

 It's been long since they secured a win and now they're even more threatened to face Madrid.  Madrid on the other hand are very much vibrant and eager to net our the 3points one more time and keep making their stand on the league table solid.
Yesterday they faced Valencia and the result sadly was less expected to some extent. They're a good side, aiming for the La Liga title and prospect UCL champions too and they ought to have been able to live up to expectation but the game ended in a draw and for Valencia, it was a well deserved and expected result.

  They couldn't risk loosing to Real Madrid as it'd have jeopardized their opportunity to secure a right spot on the La Liga table. Real Madrid are just having sloppy performances in the past weeks and it's threatening to their progress this season. They shouldn't try sustaining this inconsistency as Girona would definitely be in a haste to pounce on that top position even though they've got no chance at it. Madrid are a good side and they've got great players and manager that's capable of giving them a justified result this season. One would only anticipate and hope for a positive result at the end of the season.

Unai Emery and Roberto De Zerbi the right choice but I am more supportive if Unai Emery will replace Xavi because Unai Emery managed to provide an increase in performance to Aston Villa even though it was only temporary but in fact Aston Villa was still stable but the problem was that Unai Emery was willing to accept the offer from Barcelona because of course the salary offered is lower than when in Aston Villa.
Barcelona would try to keep Xavi if Barcelona could dominate La Liga like last season, but now they can't even get ahead of Girona and I think that's what makes doubtful about Xavi. He made a decision that he will not stay on the team, for the reason that he is not valued, perhaps this is the right decision, such a coach will easily find a good team for himself.

I saw that they write that De Zerbi can become the coach of Barcelona, but I don’t understand, or rather, I don’t believe that this will happen, it’s too early for him to coach a team of such a high level. I like that teams under his leadership play attacking football, but I think his level is still insufficient for such a team.
Xavi has been a good manager at the Spanish side, even though they've had some shaky situations, they've just found a way to cover up lapses and make necessary coverings to the loopholes. It's very much good that they were able to put in good effort regardless of what they lacked to good team building. Nonetheless, Xavi would have still done better than he's already done. Well, his days with the team are technically numbered and he's got some commendations which he definitely deserves.

 I don't know what to say about his intended replacement but all I'll say is Barcelona as a team has work to be done and I'd love to see the new Barcelona in seasons and games to come.
It'll be very much important that Barcelona management tried their best to get a good replacement for Xavi and finding the best option for them would be a bit difficult. There are prospect options for them but they've got to be very careful in their choices.
 
 Considering Emery as a choice, he's got an improved record with Villa and normally, Villa and Barcelona's level can't be compared so it's safe to say that it'd be a bit different to manage Barcelona based on their range of players and level in football. Barcelona isn't a team to be taken as an experiment. They won't be able to bear loosing their value and pride just because of them trying to make use of a manager who's not really had very much experience in a big team. Although, EPL is competitive than the La Liga, so maybe there can be a little match in strategy.

Since Marseille was handled by Jean-Louis Gasset, in his 3 matches he succeeded in bringing his squad to 3 wins. one in the Europa League, two in Ligue 1. although Marseille's opponents are Shaktar in the Europa League, Montpellier and Clermont. however, the coach has proven that he is at least better than Marselino and Gattuso in his initial tenure. In the match against Clermont, Marseille was able to take the lead in the 23rd minute with a goal scored by Ndieaye. towards the end of the second half, the home team was able to equalize 1-1. but after that Jean-Louis Gasset's team stepped on the gas and were able to beat the home team with a final score of 1-5.

In fact, it is natural that Marseille would be able to win the match against Clermont. because the home team is the resident of the red zone with the lowest ranking. moreover, referring to the course of the match, Marseille had more control over the course of the match and so based on every opportunity they had. It was recorded that Marseille had 17 total shots, 11 of which were on target and 6 were big opportunities. Marseille should have scored more goals than that. but no matter how many goals they score, the points remain the same 3 points.
Well, even though it seems very doubtful that Marseille will be able to finish at least in the top four of Ligue 1. However, with the progress made by this new coach, it seems that Marseille is making good progress. In at least 3 matches in different competitions, Marseille was able to score 12 goals. For me, it's quite good for a coach who has just managed Marseille. Well, we'll see how Marseille develops in the next matches. is Jean-Louis Gasset able to make his team much better, or are they only good at the start.  well, quite interesting.
Marseille performance this season have been nothing to write home about even in the Ligue 1 and in the Europa. They’ve in space of half of the season had 2 coaches manage the team and that alone shows how poorly the team has been performing. Well as long as there’s life, there’s hope in any situation and this I think is the life quote the team is watching and looking unto. They hired JLG without much in mind, they hired and gave him a half season contract at least with the hope he can get this team and keep them sound mentally. JLG have come to be the Messiah they all expected as they’ve now had 3 wins out of 3 and also a Major win in the Europa League where no one expected.

 Gattuso final words while in charge of this team was one that showed fear and despair and that showed the players team spirit was dead. Well he was sacked and JLG came and you can see life in the game against Shakhtar. Though they conceded first and many thought it was all over already but something happened. The team began playing in a different style and you could sense a different spirit amongst them. They passed the ball around and rather than getting scared, they grew in confidence and won the game with a 3-1 scoreline. They followed up with another resounding victory over Montpellier where they still came from behind and had a 4-1 win.

 Within only a short amount of time under their new manager, there are signs that Marseille are beginning to look like a team liberated from some of the doubts that have held them back this season. Illiman Ndiaye in particular had what looked like a breakout performance for a player who has struggled since moving back to his boyhood club in the summer. Though there are still some works to be done like you can see the unnecessary defensive errors and playing against a better team, they could have been punished. JLG time at this club has revived the saying “as long as there’s life, there’s hope”. I think the players now have a different and better belief and zeal with this mew coach and they will go on to challenge to get maximum points.

How can't sarri be upset with the result got by lazio against acmilan? Lazio lose with narrow score and it's also losing three important players due to the red cards. It's time for lazio to sack him out. Sarri is not credible enough in managing the club. Time for lazio to seek for a new coach, there may be reliable coach keep to be a new coach for lazio soon.
Lazio is dropping very hard from playing better before it was getting lose streak. Napoli which is performing so average like lazio is having same point but napoli being placed at the 8th place which is having more goal compared to the lazio.

I have observed that how lazio was always losing the ball possession combined with wasteful attackers which were missing a lot of opportunities. The gameplay from the defenders made it look like even worst than what i thought. What i can see from lazio is just another setback compared to the last season.
Sarri must feel a shame with the performance from his team. Lazio can't even stay at the top 10th for another week if it keeps to perform shit like that.

Honestly, the problem was not only in the defensive line but all of lines have their own problems. IM still wondering what plan owned by sarri to solve this poor performance from his club. It was also disappointed result for acmilan/
Milan shows that if the team is still very weak, pioli is a monoton coach. He can only rely upon his wingers. The midfielder being so clueless and defenders didn't even know what they should do.

Lazio playing with less than 11 players but this acmilan can only scored once.
It is normal for coaches to vent their anger on match officials when things are not going their way, Jose Mourinho did sane thing and even took it extreme after the UEL final against Sevilla last season but then he got punished for it. Luckily for him he didn't create any actions that would warrant him being punished by the officials, but I don't blame him though, being booked with red card thrice could weaken a teams morale and even get a coach so upset, but if he had cautioned his team to compose themselves on the pitch, I believe they won't had experienced those multiple bookings.

 Fans might be displeased with his management skills and how far he's taken them thjs season, but they should understand that the board have the final say if he'll be sacked or not. But left for me i think his managerial days are gradually coming to an end and after a poor performance from a quality coach like him, I don't think Lazio's board would think of retaining him as their coach by next summer, maybe they'll go for a younger and vibrant coach with good tactics like most clubs are doing currently.

 Well, I'm not suprised they lost to Milan,  cause if you compare both teams you'll see that Milan got a better chance  and were even favored more by the book makers, Milan got better players and are in a good position in standings. The least Sarri would done is to pack the box and get a draw from the game but they were not composed defensively and got booked 3 times, making it very difficult for Lazio to compete well or even get a draw from the match.

In the last few seasons, in fact, Bayern strongest challenger was Dortmund, but when Bayern Munich slumped this season, dortmund also experienced the same thing, the start of the season, no one expected that Leverkusen would be Munchen competitors in the race for the championship and maybe for some of us here, we just say : only Dortmund can do it competing with Munich, but in fact now Leverkusen is not only coming as a competitor to Munich but also as a strong candidate to win the Bundesliga trophy.

Beating Lazio can at least make Munich regain hope of at least getting one trophy to end the 2023/24 season, but if they don't succeed in turning things around in the second leg against Lazio then it is certain that this season Bayern Munich not get a single trophy and clearly that will be the a bad record after every season, Munich always gets a trophy, we actually can't blame the poor performance of Munich on Tuchel, but as a coach of course he has to bear every consequence, including dismissal and I think the possibility of Tuchel dismissal will disappear if Munich makes a surprise by winning the Champions League.
I don't think Bayern Munich saw this coming, they managed to escape Dortmund last season at the end of last season but I doubt if history is going to repeat itself this season cause Thomas Tuchel doesn't seem like the right man to lead them to victory and Bayern Munich would had seen that earlier and handled it properly, Leverkusen has really proven that they're equall to the task and they could cause more havoc to Munich than Dortmund did.

 Well it's not a bad idea for Tuchel to aleast win a trophy incase he loses the Bundesliga title, it's a good thing they got the upper hand against Lazio atleasr I would give them a boost in their next round. However just like you said, they really have to be careful cause they might have won the 1st leg but Lazio could still make it difficult for them in the 2nd leg and of course all blame would be on Thomas Tuchel.

 Bayern's performance this season is very surprising, I don't blame the fans for venting their anger on Thomas Tuchel, cause the board made sure he was provided with the necessary players he requested for, in all areas of the squad but yet he's failed to get them to the point that deserve to be in the league this season and allowed Leverkusen so still their glory by maintaining a good form since the beginning of the season till this point. If Leverkusen end up winning the league I doubt if bayern would retain Tuchel as their coach.

Jose Mourinho? Do you think this is a joke? Jose Mourinho already had his time with the club Manchester United and wasn't allowed to do whatever he wanted. I would even consider Jose Mourinho over the so called Graham Potter's news I'm seeing close to Manchester United appointment, isn't that such a daft thing to do?
Manchester United would definitely lose lots of fans if they appoint Graham Potter as head coach of Manchester United. same coach that couldn't go pass ten with Brighton and Chelsea? These journalist are complete bastards.

Antonio Conte? Peng! Tactician and Tactically sound and great, I would love to work with such a disciplined coach.

Xabi Alonso is not amongst the names Manchester United had listed, hell No, they don't that idea to sign him. Xabi Alonso would be best off with Bayern Munich or Liverpool.
Manchester United have not been at their best as it’s seeming the glory days at the club are now over and forgotten. That’s why the board has always tried and made move to acquire a great coach who’ll be able to get the club back to glory. They hired ETH and his coming was met with great feelings from the fans and when he got the league cup in his first season and the UCL spot also, the felt the glory days can now be back. Things have gone pretty bad and now worse and they’re now considering ETH Out as he’s no more productive like he was the first season.

 The p erformance of a team is majorly decided by the kind of coach and how influential the coach is. Yes influential especially in terms of implementing his tactics and making sure order is kept in the team, this is a quality of a good coach.These are the qualities the United board should look out for in a bid to hire a new coach. When looking at these qualities the likes of Conte and Jose comes to mind and I agree with you when you have these choices.

 Conte is a very good tactician and he’s succeeded in the shores of the EPL and achieving success at Manchester United who’s a big club and have the funds will be pretty no much work for him. Conte just has the right tactics and I trust him to have the perfect tactics to help this United team be in full shape and back on track. Jose on the other end was the last successful coach of this club and I think he achieved success with limited resources and him returning when he’ll have the available resources will be real one big team to watch. Jose is a specialist and is considered one of the few great coaches to grace the world of football. I don’t think Xabi to Man United will be able to work as he’s got two big clubs already bidding for him and I don’t see him having any affiliation to Man United so I think Jose or Conte will be better replacement should ETH be sAcked.

It must be klopp's responsibility to help club avoid to perform like the match against forest in the future match. Liverpool will have hard fixtures and it must be solved. There have been many chances were wasted. I must say that if liverpool was not lucky enough in this game before nunez was coming with his only goal to help liverpool get three points.
It was so amazing to see liverpool able to get three point when the game has only one minute remaining. It's hard to believe but that's happened. I was watching the second half and it was so amazing. Many liverpool supporters were not only happy but they were also feeling so satisfied with a goal from nunez.

I think that liverpool should not think about how many goals made in any games but the club must focus on how to win the game. It's caused by we are heading toward the end of season. The defensive strategy forced liverpool to play carefully and it was also making liverpool rarely had effective attack against forest.
EPL trophy is not a battle about how many goals scored by your club but it's about how consistent you are in getting three points in any game. Liverpool can win with narrow score as long as it can keep win till last match and it will win EPL trophy this season.

I can't even believe that how team that was struggling at the early season could make its comeback this fast. Thanks for klopp that has already made it happen with liverpool. Nunez is performing so amazingly in this game. He deserves credit from whole of liverpool fans.
Well the battle for the EPL is now getting more fierce as at this point you expect a team to loose point and reduce her performance. Any mistake at this point from a team especially the top 3 teams will result in that team losing out on the title race. Now all teams must know that it’s not all about scoring lots of goals but majorly maintaining the wins and getting the 3 points at least it’ll help you keep your opponent on the pressure and that pressure sometimes makes a team fall at some point.

 The match between Liverpool and Forest is one that showed the effect of pressure as you can see how Liverpool struggled to get the goal.The fans of Liverpool while watching this match were a bit frustrated because of the many chances missed by this Liverpool side as it was really worrisome. Well I’ll agree if you say the injury crisis had it’s tow on the team and you can tell especially as most of these players have been overworked after the 120 minute League Cup victory and having to play in the FA Cup and then playing against a good Forest team who’re real battling to get off relegation threat zone.

 This match now should be an eye opener that they’re not to fight to get much goals rather they should try to get the 3 points as this will be their saving grace. Maintaining consistency is what’s key in the race to achieving success in the EPL this season and I think all the 3 clubs in the race should know this. They all have to be careful not to drop anymore points since the  league is gradually getting to a point where it would come to conclusion.

Even though it is small, Tuchel still has hope of avoiding dismissal if he succeeds in bringing Munich to the Champions League trophy this season, talking about Munich chances in the second leg, of course it really depends on the performance of the Munich players later, if indeed the Munich players want Tuchel to stay in munchen, they should be able to play optimally in champions league,  If we observe, Lazio is actually not a tough opponent if the Munich players can do their best in the next match, because so far Lazio performance is actually worse than Munich and even if they win in the first leg, of course it won't be more than a lucky penalty, so I think there is still a chance for Munich to make a comeback in the second leg.

We actually can't blame Tuchel completely, because after all we know that Tuchel is a great and experienced coach all this time so I think the squad currently owned by Munich must also be responsible, including Kane, I'm not talking about the possibility of curse Kane for failing to win trophy, but in fact I see that Kane performance in Munich is not very good, maybe it is true that he has  scoring a lot of goals at the moment, but if you pay attention, Kane actually can't to be the difference when Munich faces important and crucial matches this season.
Bayern Munich are a team known to have full dominance of the German League. They’ve been the only consistent team in this league and that has earned them the trophy for constant 12-15 years and that’s a laud reign period. This team is known to be very consistent and is also known to score very top goals. They’re widely known in Europe for the large amount of goals they bang whenever they face an opponent and this is one major reason why they’re known to be a force in Europe.

 Tuchel took over this team and they became a shadow of themselves especially as his pattern of play wasn’t effective for them. It made their attacking prowess grow less and they began struggling while at the opponent’s goal post.This situation has now made them look almost trophyless as their only hope for silverware is the UCL which they’re not even seen as any favorite for the trophy. For this reason the board took an early decision to let go of Tuchel and I really agree with them on this decision. This situation has now landed Tuchel under pressure because him going trophyless with a big team like Bayern who even added Kane to their squad who’s meant to poach even more goals for the team is a big dent on his career.

 So I understand the pressure Tuchel is on right now and I think getting the team to glory in the UCL or at least the final can be his only saving grace to his already diminishing career. The team needs to perform optimally and at high level to be able to do the come back and not just that but also playing greatly in the other stages of the competition will also be a plus for them. As it will help them proceed to other stages of the competition. The players should also have a fair share of the blame especially as Tuchel succeeded with a Chelsea side who was already written off so I think probably the players aren’t happy with him and decided to play without fire and they can be his saving Grace too.

Roma have to beware of Monza because this team is in the good shape and recently they had successfully to beat Milan and Salernitana and Monza was total can collect 11 points from 5 matches in Serie A so this team cannot be underestimate and for Roma we all know under De Rossi Roma has found their top performance again and the latest is Roma can able to eliminate Feyenoord in Europa League and Roma also can win from Torino last week and this is interesting to know who is the winner of this match because both teams in the good conditions

From squad conditions i can see Roma first goalkeeper Rui Patricio was into the bench after recover from his injured but apparently De Rossi is more likely to play Mile Svilar this because since he was played Mile Svilar can able to performing well and according to Roma squad almost all of their players will be available including El Shaarawy, Dybala and Lukaku because confirmed these players in the good fitness and they will be ready to play today even so with Monza because all of their main players in the good fitness too and Roma is the favourite but Monza will not easily to beat because their current records is very impressive but cosidering the recent performance from them is looks equal and i think this match potentially can be ended to draw and the odds for draw is very good @3.50
The situation of Roma before De Rossi's arrival put them in a situation where they have to fix a bit of loops and come on top. Before now, Mourinho has had the  responsibility to ensure good league game results and I won't blame him much for the times of loss because their opponents, their opponents in some situations have been too title contenders and personally wouldn't embrace a loss based on the goal they have for themselves. De Rossi just came and should be given time to show himself. They're playing the league games and as well as the European games, their attention is on 2 trophies.

 The European trophy will be difficult for them and I don't think that currently De Rossi would be able to scale through all the clubs that will be presented to him to face in each advancement phase of the tournament. Even in the Serie A, it'll be difficult for them to gain the top stand so it's just best that they focus their strength and struggle to maintaining a good result that'll see them scale through to the European cups next season. De Rossi can still make a great team from Roma and their next games encounters are awaited. They played away to Monza today and the game outcomes actually went in their favor.

 They were able to confidently net in 4goals and this gave enough goal margin in the match today. Monza who were the host didn't actually make much effort, adding that they were up against a better side and nothing less or different from the final outcome was expected to happen. The odds were in Roma's favour and in their own part, they were able to perform and deliver rightly, adding an extra 3points to their league table points and this as well adds to the push and morale ahead of their next European cup game against Brighton.

PSG was leading the game by owning more ball possessions but monaco was able creating more shot on target rather than PSG. it's surprising me how no goal happened from this match. There's something wrong with PSG and monaco. These clubs have been so wasteful in this game.
As you can see that monaco and PSG wasted so many chances. This is also making no change in the current standing. PSG is still leading the competition with very big gap to the second place. PSG has been performing so badly especially for the attacking lines.
These attackers were unable in maximizIng its chances to scored at least one goal against monaco. The thing that impressed me is barcola. This guy is relaly having a lot of potential to be the next great winger.

Enrique has been getting very good talent to replace mbappe and he was barcola. The bad result against monaco can be a good lesson for PSG to perform better in the upcoming games. It can still lead the game with very big gap. I see that several time PSG's players are always shooting straight to the ball instead of aiming the free space to put ball in the back of the net.
This is really awful performance from the expensive attackers owned by PSG. I salute to the defensive line of monaco caused by it was able blocking so many attacks from SPG. Totally unpredictable result.
It's hard to understand that the result is very different compared to the first leg.
The League match between these two teams were getting intensed especially as Monacco were in a bid to steal a point or more to maintain their stand on Ucl qualification next year. This match happens to be one match that was a stepper to actualizing that dream. Before this match, We had Monacco who got all 3 points in the last match and they played exceedingly well. In this match, though Monacco weren’t at their best but they put up a performance that’s considered to be that of warriors.

 PSG who played away were very poor in this match and this has shown that this PSG side is one team that can’t be relied on. The attackers are doing little or nothin in making this club be a productive side and it’s quite worrisome that this is the case after the much spent on the club. Well they just got a new coach who’s trying to balance the team and it’s quite understandable. Yes they’re leading the league standings with a very good number of points and for that I think they don’t have much a worry rather they’ve got to try to improve especially for a competition like the UCL.

 For Monacco, they were pretty good with the shots but weren’t able to convert them to goal and that shows the need for the team investing. Investment is what gets a team to attain a great level of productivity and that’s what Monacco needs at this point as they’re and could be heading to the UCL next season. In all the match was sure a great match and I think both teams had one or two correcetions to take home after this match as it’ll help the team in general to grow better for future matches.

I think we all probably know that Madrid recently have only won a few games with a few goals and very narrowly, which is probably because the absence of Bellingham and Joselu has had an impact on the number of goals Madrid scores against each opponent, against Valencia today it will certainly be a bit In contrast to Joselu and Bellingham playing in today's match, it allows them to win by more goals against Valencia, clearly this victory is very necessary to maintain their position at the top of the standings.

A win against Valencia today will certainly allow Madrid to maintain further distance from Girona, because Girona seems to be starting to try to get back up and be confident again to be able to continue their winning trend, Madrid must not waste this match against Valencia, at least they will get three full points so they can maintain their position at the top of the standings and win the Laliga title this season, if Madrid fail in the UCL at least they can get another title, including in this domestic league.
For Bellingham, he's been a potential asset to the team, a trained midfielder, performing perfectly in the forward position. He's now become a versatile player and that's one quality that a coach really craves for in his team and every player needs to activate in themselves that skill too. Real Madrid still knows his worth, Ancelloti for one doesn't joke with his key men either. The youngster as advantageous to the team and he has his special way of making every game count as victory for the club.

 His versatility is envied but this doesn't give the leisure of switching his inert position on the pitch. Everyone would anticipate the growth of this player and the feats he'd attain. For some weeks, he's been out due to injury and thankfully he's recovered and ready to bounce back into the team to continue his good performances. Tonight, they'll be playing against Valencia and the goal they've got on them ahead of this clash is to  ensure they secure the 3points. The time left this season is very much critical for teams and Madrid shouldn't trade their chances too. At thesame time.

 it's certain that Valencia themselves won't be fair on them as they're also questing for a victory in the game. Everybody wants to get a right spot on the league table and they have to work extra to attain it. Well I don't know how the odds for the game would turn out but it's seeming likely to be in favor of Madrid considering their position on the league table and all past games as well as all time head to head. Valencia have the home advantage, hopefully, they'll be able to make do with it to their good but we'll just have to anticipate the result of the game tonight.

The European League has now reached the round of 16 and the teams that are still remaining in the European League are the best teams available even though of how bad their performance is in the domestic league, currently we can say that Liverpool is the strongest candidate to win the trophy apart from performance, those who are quite good, of course their experience in playing and winning the Champions League will be their main asset, I don't mean to underestimate Leverkusen, but I think compared to Leverkusen, Milan is actually still better at the moment in the European League even though they are not at the top of the Serie A standings because we cannot deny how Milan has been able to surprise many people when their play in European Competitions so far, meanwhile, our Leverkusen admits their greatness in the Bundesliga, but so far I have not seen Leverkusen face a strong team in the European League.

The atmosphere of domestic leagues and European competitions is very different so we cannot underestimate other clubs because they only perform badly in the domestic league So far, many teams have appeared dominant in the domestic league but have performed quite badly when they play in European competitions,maybe you all know that Sevilla is the club with the most European league champions at the moment, but haven't they never won La Liga since 1946?
The Europa League knockout round play offs was an encouraging game outcome for a couple of teams considering that they had to struggle through from the group stages and even were able to advance to the next stage of the competition. Well everyone knew it'd be tough for most teams as they were striving to have a meaningful outcome but only a few could be victorious. Sadly for Lens, Rennes, Toulouse from the French Ligue 1, yes they did their best to stay in the competition and they made meaningful impacts so far in their domestic league games and even in the Europa league but just a little goal margin they weren't able to cover up costed then their advancement.

 Even though accepting the fact that their opponent wasn't as easy for them, they still tried to stay in the competition both in the first and second legs too. The qualified teams though definitely earned it and it's something to be proud of as I'm even as the game and tournament's tempo was high, they didn't bulge or shrink in performance. This only means that the advanced teams would have an extra job to do to be meaningful as every advancement stage means a tougher battle ahead.

 These teams have all time being best and epic in their respective leagues which also earned them the qualification ticket too, as in the UCL, the UEL is another European contest umbrella that's tough and has a lot of competition in it. One would sit back being patient to predict the winner of the tournament as jumping into predictions now will be risky. These teams left are tough and won't take the tournament easy on themselves. Every team wants to come out victorious, so no one can actually place how much intensity each team would bring to the pitch on matchday.
858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 02, 2024, 05:37:57 PM
I think for now Osimhen should not be too hasty in deciding on a choice because after all when a player will be at a new club then it is definitely about how the continuation of the career he has.
Last season was Osimhen's brilliant career although for now he has experienced a slight setback but there are still many big clubs who want his services.

For Chelsea there is no problem joining this club because they are still one of the big clubs with high resources even though in these 2 seasons they are not running as they should but on the other hand Osimhen must realize that this is about his future.

Currently, Chelsea's performance is not very good and looking from history not after the loss of Drogba and Torres from the squad I don't think there is a single striker who really shines for Chelsea because all strikers have always been a failure when at Chelsea. In addition, looking at the track record of players who have been in Serie A and moved to the EPL sometimes their fate is not very good so this is a good reference for Osimhen to consider his future.
The different tension of the EPL sometimes makes some players with a slow style of play in the previous competition make it difficult to adapt well and not a few star players from Serie A are destroyed in the EPL.

Regardless of the loopholes Osimhen faced for a few weeks with Napoli, he still found so much belief in them and he'sore or less the fans' favorite too. So the news of his contract extension was definitely soothing to the team and fans too. Now it's certain that they'd keep seeing and benefiting from his unique style of football. He's being a key man at the Italian side and it was although very much unlikely for them to let him slip off their arm. He's just got more impacts to make. Napoli themselves have seen the quality of player he is and they really don't want to let him go.

 It's his decision no doubt, but maybe he's just got to get experiences in a different club environment. Even though, he still has an achievement to deliver onto the team too. Since Osimhen joined Napoli, he's been their key player and he's been doing his striking job perfectly without errors, even in times of emotional derailment from fans and the coach, he's still being able to keep his mind focused. He's in no wise the best thing that's happened to Napoli. He's the best addition to the team. Although Chelsea are having eyes on him but it's likely that Napoli won't let him slip without a very good replacement for him.

 His exit will place a threat to the teams performance subsequently and they may likely go back drastically. For Chelsea, he may not be able to cope immediately, he'd need time to blend and it's likely that the Chelsea pattern may not fit him. No doubt he's got the decision to make but he's got to weigh the options too considering that Chelsea can as well give him a whole new experience to football even though they're declining currently in their performance.
859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 02, 2024, 05:26:55 PM
at this time I have to say if you are right that currently Bayern Munich has no hope of getting the title but there are still 10 more matches remaining which can change the bad into the stronger and the strong can change into very bad.
now we see that from the start of the season Bayern Munich appeared impressive and experienced a decline in performance towards the end of this season and problems like this were never thought of before because Bayern Munich is the biggest team that always dominates the bundesliga, but can the problems experienced Bayern Munich not be experienced by Leverkusen ?
I'm not a fan of Bayern Munich and not a fan of Leverkusen but I'm just worried that our speculation will be paid by Bayern Munich at the end of the season when it displaces Leverkusen and a team that looks very consistent and very strong like this is very scary like Bayern Munich which was very strong at first but finally experiencing a decline in performance that is difficult to predict.

unless Leverkusen has a big difference of around 15 points from Bayern Munich but only has 5 matches remaining, I would be more confident if everything is over but the difference is 7 points from the remaining 10 matches, everything can change without us being able to predict.
Munich in recent games haven't been able to perform at the rate they're definitely known for, there's been visible loopholes that keeps reoccurring which is likely to be a negative impact to their season's quest. They've played against teams less performing than them but still it's been a difficult task for them to stay in shape and on top too. This only shows how shaky they've been on the pitch and how less likely they are to bring forth a buoyant game results for themselves.

 Just 10 more games to go and one would wonder if they'll be able to cover up lapses even though Leverkusen have been able to stay unbeaten and have given them useful point gaps too.
Yesterday they played away to Freiburg and sadly, they couldn't even try to get a win from the game and this only means that they aren't even living up to expectation considering how well they've performed in past seasons. This season kind of started off fine for them but lately keeping up the tempo has been an issue.

 One would wonder how they managed to depreciate drastically in their level of performances so far. It only shows how unpredictable football is and how much different they've become negatively. Their rate of performance currently is going to cost them their own spot on the league table. They've been inconsistent in good performances and it only gives Leverkusen more chance to cover up and still keep enough gaps in points between them.

It looks like it will be a little complicated when looking at the current conditions of the two clubs.
Manchester United still have problems for their blunt attack line especially at this time Hojlund is still unable to play because of problems in his current leg which requires him to rest a few more weeks.

At the moment I still hold on to Manchester City in the big match this time even though Manchester United in terms of their performance are still very good but when facing Manchester City I am quite sure they will be very troubled by the performance and strength of Manchester City's midfield which is still very good especially last week in the FA Cup Manchester City got a very extraordinary result thanks to the quartet of assists made by KDB and the quintrick created by Haaland in the match which will certainly add enthusiasm and a good mental boost for Manchester City.

Currently Manchester City are still quite superior in terms of odds even though they are playing away but in this case it does not rule out the possibility that we will see the match become a draw even though it is the worst possibility for Manchester City because surely they will aim for 3 points.

The Manchester Derby happens to be one of the very big derbies of the football world generally. This kind of fixture have a lot of fun and it also have this high tension it gives. Now the time this fixture is coming up is already tensed and it’s a great feeling for the fans. Looking at the crisis amidst this fixture it means the fixture will be very great and fun. The injury from the Manchester United squad is one very big problem for them.

 The absence of their striker is one major problem for this Man United squad at this time as they’re very unproductive in front of goal. You can see how they’ve been struggling in the past 2 matches without Hojlund. You can only imagine how much they’ll against an organised team like Man City. Man City who’re trying to retain their EPL title will be coming into this match with the mindset of winning and not leaving any stone unturned. Their squad is back and all the players are in great shape and you can see it majorly from the mayhem they gave to Luton during the week.

 That match showed the clear partnership between KDB and Haaland, this kind of partnership will be a very big challenge for Man United especially as they’re not very organized defensively. For this match, I think  Manchester City are favorites and will sure be getting the win in this match. They’re in a tight chase and know the result if they should drop points in this match so to that end, I think they’ll try to give in all their best and get the win in this match.
