It was a very painful defeat for Arsenal. They controlled the game but Porto had an excellent defense. Arsenal didn't even have a shot on target. But the match was a painful defeat for Arsenal because Porto was able to score a goal in the 94th minute. I think the match will end in a draw.
But this result still doesn't put Porto in a safe zone because Arsenal is a strong team and a 1 goal lead will only make a small difference. Arsenal will host the second leg so I think Arsenal still has a chance to turn things around.
Arsenal did their best but loosing at that point was inevitable so they lost to porto , they had the best performance a d even out played Porto at some point but it still surprising how Porto still managed to win, maybe it will be fine to say proto were lucky and Arsenal weren't because that sounds like the new description to what happened in that game. Both teams appear to still ha e equal chance but if Arsenal draws in their next meeting they are obviously exiting the champions league and that's without any form of prejudice because Porto is current at the advantage of a win already even if it's with just a goal but they are in a better situation than arsenal currently. By the next meeting that will be hosted by Arsenal, if Arsenal wins with two goals they may have the opportunity to qualify as against Porto otherwise I their fate may be a totally different one. But I feel Porto wou want to do much better and their confidence at this moment will be quiet strong so Arsenal should prepare for any possible outcome. These are the disadvantages of playing with a concrete central forward, you see all of these things and they affect your game. At times in football it's also like this. You'd play everything and still lose the game and three points. I'd say lucky because Arsenal was far better than Porto and should have won the game. Saddens me finally to see that it ended that way for the gunners. They've been scoring good number of goals in the Premier League Competition but they found that difficult to do in the Champions League last night. They're now pushing all hope to the days they Porto travels to London for the second fixture.. Let's focus on how they go about the game with Newcastle before thinking about the next fixture again Porto. Anyone Fazed with Lima Pepe? He's been defending for a long time and could also play in.the next Euro's Competition coming up soon. In the Premier League, clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Nothingham Forest all has the Champions League, it could take them a long time before they can achieve that, No? LoL |

Yes, actually, when I watched Liverpool against Luton, I was worried because Luton opened the first goal in the match and I bet on Liverpool winning and to be honest, it was very tense because in the first half Liverpool were unable to score a goal, but finally in the second half Liverpool started to show their prowess. and being able to reply to a goal and it seems that Salah's absence was very influential for Liverpool but fortunately Klopp was able to make a good strategy and the Liverpool players were very enthusiastic when the score was equal at 1-1.
Yes, Liverpool proved that they are still a strong team and of course the Liverpool players and Klopp analyzed the match in the 1st half and looked for Luton's weaknesses and in the end Liverpool succeeded in winning the match because Klopp was very good at finding the opponent's
Yes, the results of this match meant that Liverpool managed to get 3 points and Liverpool remained at the top of the standings and had a difference of 4 points from Manchester City.
That early goal into the game made Liverpool go very hard during the second half of the game. Luton Town can be very hard to play but I knew at Anfield it'll be a different case for them. Liverpool don't joke around whenever it comes to playing in them home games. They're taken so seriously like it's the World Cup Competition finals. Four great goals in the second half and of them all, my best was that strike from Elliott the small but mighty. Luiz Diaz also worked hard in that game and finally he got to be amongst those that scored. They'd now have enough time to prepare for the finals against Chelsea in the coming days. Could it be the main reason why Mo Salah wasn't used in that game? The top three quite competitive you know, it's still difficult to predict who wins at the end of the season/ campaign. |

So excited with many managers leaving their position at the end of this season, Jurgen Klopp as the first manager announced he will leaves Liverpool after this season ended and then has Barcelona's manager Xavi Hernandez will leave his position. Latest confirmed Bayern Munich's manager Thomas Tuchel have reach agreement deal with management for leaving his position until this season ended.
Except for Jurgen Klopp I think some manager leaving their position at the end this season because got bad result with their teams and has internal problem, for Xavi Hernandez seems got huge pressure and management not in his side before making decision to leave his position at the end this season. For team get advantage when any manager leaving their position before their contract expiry, not have to pay compensation due some of manager have few years contract left.
For Xavi Hernandez, I'd want to say he should have been supported this season but he wasn't due to Injuries and also financial challenges affecting them. Some of them players Innit also are also not well piad by the club completely so I wonder how they want to be play with them hearts. Lack of support from the management and the Injured players absent affected Xavi Hernandez because he was same man who won the Spanish La Liga with Barcelona last season. For Thomas Tuchel, he should just take sometime off amd not rush back into another job, he is a good manager but adamant. That alone cannot let him get whatever he wants. It could be his relationship with players and also to tactics and strategies he should kindly leave. Jurgen Klopp has won it all, trying to win the Europa League Competition and Premier League Competition would be great to wrap it all up. |

I think Bayern Munich has found a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, namely Harry Kane because Harry Kane is also a goal scoring machine for Bayern Munich this season and the total goal achieved by Harry Kane are also quite a lot, it's just that Bayern Munich is experiencing an unlucky fate because of Leverkusen become an obstacle for Bayern Munich in the race for the Bundesliga title and it seem as if Bayern Munich has lost its enthusiasm to compete with Leverkusen. Which is why Bayern Munich performance continue to decline and makes Thomas Tuchel position even more threatened, even though if you look at it as a whole, Bayern Munich performance is not that bad several match that were quite surprising for Bayern Munich and made them fail to get full points.
Even in the Champions League, Bayern Munich lost in the first leg so this cannot be said to be good, because if in the second leg Bayern Munich fail to take advantage of their home advantage and instead only achieved draw. Bayern Munich could be eliminated in the Champions League, in the Bundesliga itself Bayern Munich completely missed an opportunity, they can still fight if Leverkusen loses points in the remaining games of this season but that is if Bayern Munich no longer loses again.
No arguments with that you dig? I love Harry Kane and I know what he can do for Bayern Munich same way he gave all his all for Tottenham Hotspur. As much as Harry Kane is fit and not out Injured you can be sure of his scoring twenty goals and more in a season, it'll be more beautiful with the thriving winger's who can as well support him from.the flanks. What do you mean by " Bayern Munich is experiencing an unlucky fate because of Bayern Leverkusen" I'd want a break down lol. Maaan, Bayern Munich has a coach wrong with whatever hes been doing for the club you don't have to bring Bayern Leverkusen Into the blunders of Bayern Munich. For Bayern Leverkusen, they've be determined and has chased this trophy from the very beginning strongly. As the Champions League Competition, they could escape this round but you see the next, I wonder how they'll even want to do that. |

Well Manchester United were one team over the past few years whose performance haven’t really been stable. They turned to a laughing stock in the league and the continent, Europe as a whole and that’s one crazy thing because they’re a big club. They’re a big club and being a laughing stock is one crazy thing or attribute that shouldn’t be attached to their name. Well the management came under fire, the coach also came under fire because of his wrong choice of signings and substitutions; moreso most of the players too came under fire for how poorly they perform in the team.
One good thing is that they were able to still stick around and maintain the team and now they’re leaving up to expectation. This 2024 has been an amazing start for them as they’ve maintained positive start this year and had great results which have now changed and shaped this team. Now we’re seeing them as a UCL spot contender if they’re able to maintain this positive start. Talks about comparism of Rasmus and Erling at this stage isn’t needed though. Yes because it could get into the head of Rasmus and he then underperforms. So I feel they both have different ability though they play similarly but I think Erling still stand clear. Though Rasmus is young and can still achieve a lot if he keeps up the fire.
In fact, Manchester United managed to show progress last season where they managed to close the season in 3rd place and this is progress that has been made by Erik Ten Hag. But this season, Manchester United's performance has declined again because until the 25th match, Manchester United had not yet managed to return to the top 4 rankings. For this reason, if we measure their strength to compete for the title, of course they are not quite ready to do it because in my opinion, Erik Ten Jag has to make many changes to bring Manchester United back into the title race. But in my opinion Manchester United inconsistency is none other than because many of their players have experienced a setback in their performance this season. In terms of defense, they are experiencing big problems which may have to be fixed at the end of this season and also for the front line, of course Manchester United needs quality stickers when it comes to scoring goals. For this season I think Manchester United's target is only to return to the top 4 rankings. They had a tough Pre-season over the states and couldn't prepare well for the new season, in short they came into the competition with lots of names Injured how do you expect the manager to work with his team in such way? Players to be used for selections would be out Injured and would not be able to project the plans of the manager. The defense at most suffered since they lost Lisandro Martinez during that Europa League Competition against Sevilla. Do you know that since then, Manchester United hasn't done hundred percent defending for me. For Erik Ten Hag to do changes, it has to come from the management,they all have to sit together and know what next to do for the club and to win trophies. He is so far a good manager, I would be excited to see him stay Manchester United needs him. |

And I hope that Arsenal will win but the way the game is going they don't want to give us breathing space and we don't have even one shot on target, that's a bad sign for us,
Arsenal had all the possession in the first half but were not really able to create any chances through Porto. Porto even looked more dangerous and had a clear opening to score. Before Arsenal will score this Porto team, they will need to double their efforts. Maybe some changes is what Arsenal need, and the coach has brought in Jorginho to see if he can create something from the midfield because Arsenal have not been able to play through the Porto team, their best opportunities have come from running inside from the sides. This game will end in a draw. I didn't see this game bit I'm certain to say that Porto defense was so relaxed because Arsenal had no threat on them defenders. Like how do you go on to play such a hard game especially in the Champions League without starting with a natural central attacking player. I believe the absence of a good number nine lost them.the game today and they'd be going back home to face Newcastle? There'll be problem for them most likely. I said it before now that Portuguese sides are good at home. I could recall how Arsenal got dumped out of the European Europa League Competition. They was knocked out by Sporting Lisboand this is yet another Portuguese side that'll knock them out. How well did Saka Play? Before I forget, Someone check the ratings of Sancho yesterday please, do you still think Erik Ten Hag is the problem? Lol |

I'm sure, even if for example Julian Nagelsmann was still at Bayern Munich now then ya, I sure the result would be the same about failure. Because yes, in my view Julian Nagelsmann also does not have the ability and/or good quality if he is in this situation this season. Because after all, when Julian Nagelsmann was appointed as manager of Bayern Munich at that time, in reality Bayern Munich also still had Lewandowski. But in reality, when Lewandowski left, then Julian Nagelsmann also failed to produce good results for Bayern Munich, so Bayern Munich fired Julian Nagelsmann suddenly at that time and replaced him with Tuchel. But unfortunately, Tuchel also failed to produce good results for Bayern Munich, so it is perhaps natural that Bayern Munich has stated that it will terminate Tuchel contract at the end of this season.
Yes, it is true that Julian Nagelsmann failed to bring Bayern Munich to success, but at least Julian Nagelsmann was successful when he still relied on Lewandowski compared to Tuchel now who already has quality players like Harry Kane, will he also fail? If Tuchel really fails after having star players, I think there's nothing wrong with comparing him to Julian Nagelsmann or even missing his coaching. If Bayern Munich's decision is very strong to fire Tuchel, I hope that the Munich management will not make a mistake in looking for a replacement for Tuchel rather than having to lose the reputation of Bayern Munich's legacy of dominance in the Bundesliga. The movement of Robert Lewandowski outta the club really affected him and the squad since Robert Lewandowski was one of the major sources of the goals scored by Bayern Munich. They failed to sign up a replacement and it affected them hugely. They should have done better to get a back up but they couldn't and it did affected the plans of Julian Nagelsmann. He was brilliant in the Champions League Competition but not during the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich was even lucky to see themselves as winners last year. Some player are unhappy and would definitely want to go or leave the club. Finally interested in a coach like Xabi Alonso means a lot, it shows they're in for stability, longevity and also consistency. |

No arguments with how disastrous Manchester United has been over the past few years and also this season but 2024 has been a great year for them, with goals scored, injured players returning and also the both the manager and the squad having most of them decisions correctly. If they can maintain this same energy and strength they can surely go ahead to become those who'll sure qualify for the Champions League Competition next season. It's also important they do so, so as to see them management spend good money to recruit players.
For Rasmus Hojlund and Erling Haaland? I will not compare. One of them is a Manchester United player and the other one has got to be a Manchester City player.
I can only talk about Manchester United right. Erling good no doubts but it's the reasons why Rasmus is signed young so they grow up with the squad together.
Well Manchester United were one team over the past few years whose performance haven’t really been stable. They turned to a laughing stock in the league and the continent, Europe as a whole and that’s one crazy thing because they’re a big club.

Yes because it could get into the head of Rasmus and he then underperforms. So I feel they both have different ability though they play similarly but I think Erling still stand clear. Though Rasmus is young and can still achieve a lot if he keeps up the fire. He's doing cool ( Rasmus Hojlund ) locked in and keeping his head high up. He has joined other youngins in the premier league competition to score dame goals they have scored. The records are not well clear to me but I know during the game against Luton Town he was he set up two records. Asides him I want to see others scoring both Rashford and also Garnacho. Even Amad Diallo should be given enough game time to play, at least he bring a different energy and a big threat to these defenders. As Manchester United host Fulham during the weekend, they should rest Bruno Fernández for Eriksen, he should have a chance to play do Bruno can be fresh when Manchester United go against Manchester City. Third of March would not be easy one, Manchester United has got to be so ready as they'd be hosted by Manchester City at the Etihad. But I sure believe it's a game they're to win. |

Barcelona will host Getafe at home.It is likely to be a difficult match for Barcelona.Getafe need to get points from their matches now to qualify for the European Cups and they will not give up easily.Barcelona's falling behind in the championship race may have discouraged them, but nothing is clear yet.It is an important match for both teams and we can expect a match with plenty of goals.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, will play away against Almeria.Although Almeria increased their points to 8 with the draws they got in the last 2 weeks, I must say that their chances of staying in the league have diminished.Atletico Madrid will not want to lose more points and will want to win as they have a chance to at least close the gap of 11 points with Real Madrid in the league.If they had beaten Sevilla before Las Palmas, maybe it would be different now, at least they would have equalized their points with Barcelona.
I don't put too much hope Into the club Atletico Madrid for the weekends, they should be with tired legs and I'm not so sure if they can do the same way they did with Las Palmas. Algeria are struggling and trying to device means to get out of the relegation, Mark me, it won't be easily won if they're to go soft on Atletico Madrid. My pick for this game would be a win or draw for Atletico Madrid honestly. Barcelona just ended them game against Napoli and couldn't win the game, trying to catch up Girona and maybe Real Madrid if they can still hope, they'd go up to the second position with such performance. But they'd have to sit up In the Champions League. |

Very surprising that Liverpool had so many problems against Luton in the first half. After conceding the early goal, Liverpool seemed to be paralyzed for a while. Fortunately, they came out of half-time better and Van Dyk was able to equalize. There were still 30 minutes left to turn the game around. Losing points against this opponent would be a major setback in the championship race.
Luton Town are not one soft or chicken side to play. They're good at whatever they do mostly when launching direct attacks on clubs. Mind you, this same Luton Town was responsible for sharing points with Liverpool during the first half of the season. Ross Barkley the former Chelsea midfielder has been a good lad fottjrm this season. Yet again it was another game to see them leaving top bottom but they still lost. It feels like they'd be relegated too. Mac Alister also has done well today with double assist. His movements to Liverpool has not been well during the early stages but he has gradually fitted himself into the squad. I see Jurgen Klopp Preparing the squad before he finally leaves at the end of the season. |

 The summer window may not open for several months, but clubs across world football are already making arrangements, including Manchester United, who are still interested in signing Harry Kane and Frenkie de Jong despite the fact both players appear likely to remain at their current clubs. Link: https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2024/02/football-transfer-news-man-utd-harry-kane-kylian-mbappeSeems like Manchester United is interested in Harry Kane. Which in my opinion really seems to be unrealistic. Why? Because even if Bayern Munich cannot win the Bundesliga title, which is definitely very much possible, to be honest, I still think he is not leaving just after one season. If anything is going to change in Bayern Munich it is going to be the coach. At the same time, Harry Kane is not going to Manchester United for sure. You know his main target was to win a trophy. If he goes to Manchester United, that chance is not there anymore, right? At least with Bayern Munich, he has a chance.  Harry Kane heading to Manchester would put players like Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund at risk because one of them would not get enough game time to play. The news is nothing false it has no atom of validity innit. Manchester United are in need of a back up striker no doubts but I don't think even Harry would be stupid enough to see tham happening. Bayern Munich right now should rather focus on closing down on Xabi Alonso. I mean, Thomas Tuchel should make sure he tries to catch them. Xabi Alonso anyways has been reported to be close to accepting the move to Bayern Munich over Liverpool already. Its a great news and they'll definitely have a good cleansing for next season. The rebuild would be definitely massive. |

Milan is not where the fans should look at anyway, Liverpool is the one to get it if you ask me. Leverkusen has shown the world that they have what it takes and won against Bayern whereas Liverpool lost to Arsenal recently, that is why I would understand why someone would say Leverkusen too.
However, Milan has no chance, they are not even remotely as good as those two teams and have no chance at all, we should not expect them to have a win at all, they are not going to get that win. Liverpool will be the winner if you ask me and Leverkusen is the second in line, Milan may not be even third, there are some other very good teams as well .Milan is decent, but they are not champions level of a team for Europa, not this season at least.
Do well not to look down or underestimate any of these top guns in the UEFA European Europa League Clubs. You do so and you're already putting all of your club at a huge risk. Milan are big sides in the European Football, I respect them as much ad they're not doing so well. My beliefs that they'll level up to go am far in this very competition. Understood you feel Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool can go ahead to win this season, its same way Ac Mialn can do and I trust them. They've had a poor season but that shouldn't affect them here. The Champions league group stage was lesson enough for the Uefa European Europa League Competition. |

~snip~
Luka Modric is old so it's natural that his performance is decreasing, experience is very important, but usually Carlo Ancelotti only uses Luka Modric as a reserve player, but why did Ancelotti take the tough decision to put Modric as the main player even though there are other players who have better stamina? But yes, this has become the coach's decision, but at least in future matches Ancelotti must rotate the players correctly so as not to make mistakes.
This is what I fear for Madrid, they stumble over a small pebble. If it continues then Real Madrid will work even harder to stay number 1 until the end. As I see it, the Belingham factor looks very much needed. There was no movement or creative passing from Madrid's midfielders. In addition, Rayo put a lot of players in the defense. This made it difficult for Real Madrid to add goals. Naturally, many teams defend and frustrate the big teams and this happened in Madrid vs Rayo. Luckily they did not lose and got 1 point. Because Bellingham was injured then of course, Ancelotti made a change in formation and all factor in the match then that an older player like Modric was played in the starting lineups . After all,Modric also didn't play for the full 90 minutes, because in the end Modric was replaced by Guler but ya, if for example,Modric didn't play from the starting lineups, that maybe Kroos will be play from the starting . But yes, basically Ancelotti has also rotated in this match but indeed, the results are still not optimal because Rayo Vallecano also has bigambitions, so it is still difficult for Real Madrid to beat Rayo Vallecano this season . Because ya, the fact is that Rayo Vallecano managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw in both of its matches this season and thus, basically Rayo Vallecano is not weak at all when playing against Real Madrid. Then its almost like, Jude Bellingham is the nearest replacement to Luka Modric? I once said there no one close to replace Luka Modric at Modric but right now, it feels good to see that I'm wrong about that. Jude Bellingham has done well in his very first season and debut for the Los Blancos side. No wonder they're cool with parting ways with Luka Modric. Also they have Arda Guler who haven't featured yet in any of the game they have played aikce he returned from injury. He should be patient with his return back on the pitch. I do think Carlo Ancelotti is doing all these to protect the lad he should understand or perish. For Atletico after the lose to Inter Milan. They'd be with tired legs against Almeria during the weekend, I'm suspecting them to lose that game. And same goes to Las Palmas who should also lose to Osasuna. |

Napoli Vs Barcelona 1st leg
I just looked up to the flash scores today and discovered that there is a very nice fixture in the Champions League between the Barcelona of Spanish la Liga and Napoli or serie A. I tried my best to come up with a prediction but it wasn't actually an easy thing for me to do. But then I still have to make an attempt.
It is understandable that both teams are not in their good form this season. While Napoli is troubled by the exit of their last season coach, Barcelona is troubled by a the history of non performance of Xavi in the European competitions. Barcelona has a more stable team but Napoli has more threatful players and have more courage about the Champions League. I might not be able to predict tonight's score but I will predict that Napoli will qualify above Barcelona.
Barcelona might be in a had position, having issues leaks and all that but when it comes to the Champions League Competition you have to understand that they're big dogs and have that upper hand with form and with whatever means they'd want to use to win. It'd obviously a win or draw in favor of Barcelona. This should be the third time this season they'd be sacking a manager in charge of the club, I wonder if they'd have a quick impact with those who have been appointed by the management right before this clash against Barcelona. Barcelona had a poor defence and defensive midfielder but the attacker's have done well in spite of all the challenges faced in this trying times. |

In reality, Manchester United is a team that always receives criticism, whether criticism for the coach or the players. Because after all, in the previous few seasons criticism of Manchester United was about Maguire but after that Maguire was able to be better than before. But yes, then Manchester United continues to receive criticism about selling De Gea and replacing De Gea with Onana and yes, in reality that was Erik tan Hag decision. So, Manchester United is a team that always gets criticism every season, but with criticism like that, at least Manchester United is also a team that seems to get a lot of attention.
Regarding Liverpool who will play at home today against Luton, it is clear that Liverpool will not hold back. Because after all, Liverpool is still in a very competitive race for the title. So yes, because Liverpool position is clearly not safe, then of course Liverpool will win and also with a good score. Because in fact, in their first meeting this season the result was a draw with a score of 1-1 and as such, I am sure Liverpool will not hold back in this home match to beat Luton with a big score.
Liverpool are without some players, and they're Allison Becker, Curtis Jones, and also Diego Jota. Meanwhile, it's a good thing to see players like Mo Salah back and Darwin Nunez back in a good form. And player like Alexander Arnold not readynfor the game today. We all know how stubborn Luton can play both away and at home. But at home, I mean Anfield Anfield, Liverpool has always been a fortress which has helped lower clubs from getting three points. Criticism are good and they're footballers you either ignore, listen and work on what you things you must work on. For me personally, Harry Maguire has never been a good defender and should aslo be added to the list of players yo be sold alongside Jadon Sancho and Casemiro. Though Casemiro is not a bad player but we have to consider his age and mobility. Its time Manchester United gets that fee from Saudi Arabia for him. Marcus Rashford also should be sold. For Onana and Erik Ten Hag? Give them time. They'll be grand. |

 In recent days there has been a lot of bad news from the coaches and now it is Thomas Tuchel's turn to reportedly leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season. As we know, as coach of Bayern Munich, replacing Julian Nagelsmann at the end of last season meant that he was unable to provide more expectations for the club and he was aware that the peak of defeat he had recently made his fate even more threatened as coach of Bayern Munich. This agreement has been discussed well by both parties and this will be Thomas Tuchel's last season managing Bayern Munich. I think it is only natural that a decision must be taken immediately, especially since pressure from various parties such as players and fans is definitely the basis for this agreement for separation. We can only hope that Bayern Munich can find the right coach next season and to be honest, we are quite sad to hear the news of Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season. But however, everyone has to move on and maybe this season Bayern Munich's chances of winning the title are getting slimmer after experiencing bad results in all competitions. Anyway, where is Thomas Tuchel's next destination for next season? is it possible he will return to the EPL? I've seen news of Thomas Tuchel returning back to the English Premier League, that which I don't think is a good idea, he should take a break at least and reflect on whatever he's doing that's not turning out right and correct for him. I thought replacing Julian Nagelsmann would help Bayern Munich win the Champions League competition but it didn't. With news about the Premier league, iveseen Manchester United but I don't see the chance of that happening. Life hasn't been easy for some certain names since he came into the club and they all have wanted to leave already. Asides that the way they play is too poor and there's no way they'd use that to beat or win the Bundesliga trophy from Bayern Leverkusen. Finally, Bayern has from now until the season ends to bring up a good replacement. Hansi Flick has no plans to return, Ole Gunner Solskjeear to Bayern? A tactical inept coach? They better make good decisions. |

I know he knows how to find himself in the right spaces and it's also good to see that he has taken some of the advice given to him by Van Persie on how to excel in the Premier League.
He hasn't had the chances he had now before Manchester United player's weren't creating enough of it. I hope Garnacho also joins and puts up a good game and acore more goals.
Criticism are good they'll either pull you down and take you up base on your mentality. He choose to grow aks it's having the better of him.
Luton Town are not doing badly, but good for Manchester United to have taken the chances they've always wanted.
Hojlund has always been seen as a great striker and unfortunately he is in a mismanaged team right now. If yo uswap Haaland and Hojlund, I bet you that Hojlund would have more goals. This isn't to say that Hojlund is better, of course I think Haaland is better, but if you put Haaland in United, even he wouldn't be all that amazing, not because Haaland is bad, but because United is bad. Hojlund had to deal with all of that, the yare just tiny bit better and that is why I think that it is not all that easy to handle for him to overcome but will have periods like these. I seriously would say if Madrid got him instead of United, it would have been much more awesome for both Madrid (they would finally have a striker) and for Hojlund as well. No arguments with how disastrous Manchester United has been over the past few years and also this season but 2024 has been a great year for them, with goals scored, injured players returning and also the both the manager and the squad having most of them decisions correctly. If they can maintain this same energy and strength they can surely go ahead to become those who'll sure qualify for the Champions League Competition next season. It's also important they do so, so as to see them management spend good money to recruit players. For Rasmus Hojlund and Erling Haaland? I will not compare. One of them is a Manchester United player and the other one has got to be a Manchester City player. I can only talk about Manchester United right. Erling good no doubts but it's the reasons why Rasmus is signed young so they grow up with the squad together. |

I'v observed that whenever a team begins to loose form, they first loose a vital game after which their confidence and morale drops then it's followed by some more series of losses then they will finally loose their form and will take one more time again to get back inform and in the case of Munich they may not be able to get back and meet up because the time is already far spent and the season will end in some weeks from now .
Loosing to Leverkusen was one of the most breakdown I think Munich faced this season because as a team they are trying to stay ahead of and has been a weak team in previous seasons, Munich would have taught that after getting a draw in the first meeting, they will be able to win in this second and sadly for them they lost it and it seems they are yet to recover from the shock because after that meeting their performance has dropped subsequently and it's looking like they may just be going through series of further losses after now and most liable, may not be able to win the trophy as the defending champions this season.
The signs of decline honestly could be seen with game like Union Berlin, Ausburg as well. They Bayern Munich did win thede games but they still didn't play very well you dig? And all of these should have been corrected by the coach but he didn't. Most of these players are newbies and what I don't understand is how he'll bench players with experience for newbies? He's done whatever now he'll get the consequences on his own. Done and tired of talking about Thomas Tuchel, it's time to see him leave. For Bayern Leverkusen, they'll be against Mainz 05 and I believe this will be another game for them to win. Winning this would set them up with a new record. These are the merit's of Hardwork and with Bayern Munich against Leipzig, they could still extend points if they fail to get three points during the weekend. |

The rumors surrounding Antonio Conte and Bayern Munich certainly add to the speculation and anticipation surrounding potential managerial changes. Thomas Tuchel has undoubtedly faced scrutiny, especially given Bayern's high standards and ambitions. Bayern Fans were right about Tuchel from the early season that he is not the right person for Bayern, because his tactics is so predictable and lack of variety.
Regarding Xabi Alonso, his connection to Bayern Munich is undeniable given his time spent playing for the club. His emotional ties to Liverpool may make it less likely for him to take on a managerial role at Bayern. I think he is also aware of Bayern usually recuiting the best from the competitor which, I think, he doesnt like it. Personal preferences and emotional attachments often play a significant role in managerial decisions, and Alonso may prioritize his connection to Liverpool over other opportunities.
I have no doubts about Thomas Tuchel being sacked, Bayern Munich is a big club and before now has always been consistent, as much as I want another club to win the Bundesliga League Competition, I'd also not mind Bayern Munich showing Thomas Tuchel the exit. What they're after is consistency and this is by far one of the worst seasons we've seen. Players are not doing so well, agitating to leave the club due to disrespect from the coach and we can all see he is not that man for Bayern Munich. How can you bring in a flop to a top quality club? Eric Dier? Love thr news of Antonio Conte to Bayern Munich, they'll definitely be one of the best attacking and defending side with him, I'd so much love if he's appointed as head coach, he has too much to offers that club. Right now, with news of Antonio Conte to Bayern Munich, I'm relaxed, Xabi Alonso can go wherever he wants. Antonio Conte is more of a better tactician but yet to win the Champions League Competition. |

No matter what happens with the league, Girona definitely achieved something nice. Also, the main problem I have with the current standings is that Barcelona is about to take over Girona for second place, sure they have a lot of points difference with Madrid and that is bad, but they are becoming second soon if Girona keeps this up, also Barcelona is at UCL last 16 if I am not wrong, meaning that they are going to end up beating Napoli, 9th in the Serie A right now and not doing that well at all.
This is why I think that Barcelona could be at quarter finals as well. In a year where Barcelona finishes second in the league and quarter finals in the UCL, doesn't feel like it is a bad enough result that they should fire Xavi, that was a HUGE mistake that they will regret eventually.
I've always rotted for Xavi Hernandez, but it does seem like he's already taken his decision completely. One thing I'm not so sure about is Deco coming out to say he won't be sacked, anybody read it? Maybe after all the talk of him leaving was only to clear the noise and criticisms around his job. Bothers me akot you know. Like this is the same man that won you the Spanish League Competition last season why agitate to get him sacked? Barcelona wouldn't hesitate, they're progressing smoothly for now. They have to keep this consistency going and if Girona declines, they'll definitely leapfrog them. We all know how much of a competitive and interesting side Girona has been so far, they made the Spanish League Competition very interesting to watch. Like, how TF would a underdog do all that? |
