Winning two titles in this competition is not easy for Bayern Munich at the moment.
For the Bundesliga with five points behind the most consistent team this season is not an easy thing to pursue because their competitors have successfully answered many doubts by successfully maintaining an unbeaten record this season and beating Bayern with a landslide score is the clearest answer that Bayer is not a team that will allow Bayern to dominate the Bundesliga especially this season.
As for the Champions League, although their appearance is very disappointing but to qualify for the quarterfinals is still wide open, and should be 1 goal behind Lazio is not a problem for Bayern Munich to overcome it in the second match.
Will Thomas Tuchel leave Bayern Munich, either because he was fired or his own decision? I think it is wide open because it is impossible for management to be silent when their dominance, especially in the Bundesliga, is broken this season because this is not a pleasant thing.
Over the years, every season, we've seen certain teams leading the top chart of the Bundesliga and there's been some levels of consistency especially for Munich who's most of the time finished at the first position. Before now, Leverkusen and Stuttgart weren't even seen near the top four, it was always a Munich, Dortmund show but there's been much of a difference this season.

 Now there's a kinda rub shoulders between these teams, Leverkusen and Stuttgart who's been on the sidelines for seasons have now come up to be competitive for the trophy. Since the season began, they've been able to be threats to the trophy race, Munich now have to be extra cautious in their games too. They've had a tough weekend game against Monchengladbach though but still they stood out. For Leverkusen, against Darmstadt away from home was very much impactful and advantageous to their advancement on the league standings too.

 Also for Stuttgart who's been doing their best to keep their spot in the top 4 space. It's very much impression that this season took a different turn in the Bundesliga. Leipzig and Dortmund still have to strive to regain back their usual space on the table because currently, they're seemingly below the top 3, although with not much points difference which they still have a chance to meet up with.

The cyberbullying of Iwobi is just because Nigeria lost the competition.  Nobody would have talked about his performance if Nigeria had won the trophy. Iwobi played the role he was assigned to by the coach and that was why he was featured always. Jose Peseiro forced the Nigerian side to play mainly defensive football and used just counter-attacks and this style made Iwobi less productive. He was practically relegated to play as a defender which led to less connectivity with the attack.

Cyberbullying is not strange in football, especially in very passionate countries like Nigeria. He should see this attack as a challenge to improve his game and contribute more to the Super Eagles. I was happy that he was among the players that visited the president, some players would have departed to their clubs in anger.
It's very much expected that cyber bullying should occur at some instances but it is agreed upon that the act has its detrimental effect on the victim which can at thesame time be long term. Over time, we've seen cases of it happening especially in the football world and you wont blame the players and still not blame the bullies.

 Even though yes as fans, we've got every reason to get good performances from our players and then in the end of their tussle we don't get the desired result, let's know that it isn't enough reason to castigate the players totally as some or most times it isn't always their fault. We can criticize but bullying should not be an option, cause it could kill a players confidence level or lead them to depression. We all should know where to draw the curtain too. I just hope that the AFCOn bully on Alex Iwobi will be ended and he'll get the chance to regain back his mental health and strength too.

The red card was hurting the club abd bayern's performance was so bad. It's very pathetic to see that how bayern was missing the chance to lead the match against lazio. Lazio is now having 1 goal aggregate against bayern which was not able scoring even a goal to help the club in equalize the result to the lazio.
I hope that bayern will able to change the situation during the second half. Bayern was taking the wrong strategy to face lazio. I have seen that how bayern was facing difficulty many times to win the club. That sucks and many bayern fans are feeling very disappointed with it and me as a bettor and i can't even say something regarding this.
Losing my bet due to the garbage performance from bayern munich. This club sucks and i must say that if tuchel is not able improving the club from bottom to the top. The opposite thing was just happening when bayern keeps to get another lose and it's very disappointing many people.
The second leg can be passed by lazio easily as long as the club will be playing fully defensive against bayern munich. that being said that if bayern will be fully offensive to score as many goals as possible. As long as lazio will able to create the big wall strategy then it may be winning in the second leg.
The main weakness from the fully offensive club to face a club that was using parking buss strategy. this is the key to beat bayern in UCL. I won't bet for this match coz the result is quite hard to predic.t
Despite the red card,I think Bayern Munich's performance was really awful, they were the least expected to lose that game but then the reverse was the case, i think their fans would really be disappointed at them losing to Lazio even though they're away from home. However it a good thing that they managed to defend properly after conceding a goal, which means there's hope for them in the returning leg. Thomas Tuchel should do everything possible to win that game else if they get kicked out in this stage then it means his managerial days at Bayern Munich would come to an end after this season.

 However the club that suprised me yesterday is PSG, they won 2-0 against Real Sociedad and their performance in the game was brilliant, does it mean that PSG are back in the UCL, could this be their season, well let's see how it goes. But I amazed that the were victorious without much help from their star player Mbappé in finding the back of the net.

Tottenham has been showing good progress recently because their last loses in Premier League was happened on December last year and since that match Tottenham was never suffering to lost again and their records is 3 wins and 2 draw even last week Tottenham has successfully to beat Brighton at their home ground so this result makes them can taking over 4th place from Aston Villa and this weekend Tottenham will gets tough opponent Wolves and i know from squad quality Tottenham is more good than Wolves but sometimes Wolves can able to performing well and they were very often to makes some of big teams get in trouble even Chelsea this season have to lost twice against them

Wolves sometimes hard to beated and the latest is Manchester United have to hard struggling to beat them even if we see based on head to head statistics between Tottenham and Wolves i can see Tottenham has poor records from Wolves even Tottenham has got 2 losing streak from Wolves so this is big challenge for Tottenham whether they can able to improved their records from Wolves or not and the competition for top 4 position is very tight especially Tottenham only have 1 difference point above to Aston Villa so if they lost from this match then Aston Villa has good chances to taking over their position and according to the odds i can see Tottenham has small odds for this match which mean they are the favourite
The hotspurs are one of the teams that started very brilliantly this season and it helped them to still maintain the top 4 currently, they've managed to get a good coach with lots of ambition and zeal to get them to the peak, he's tried to make his squad one to be scared of and his style of play is very unique, if only the board would support him with lots of funds to strengthen his team very well, I think they’ll be one of the top challenger of the league in recent times.

 Well they had a good game last week against Brighton, defeating them 2-1 in their home ground and putting a smiles on the faces of their supporters, it's a good thing the AFCON  and Asian Cup  tournaments are over and now their key players are back to help them fight for a top 4 spot on the standings. I think in their next match against Wolverhampton they might encounter a little difficult challenge but I believe they'll scale through in that match.

Onana was performing very well in the match against aston villa and i can't even believe it how manchester united was able beating villa with good score. Chelsea is going to face manchester city soon and im doubting chelsea to get points against manchester city caused by city was too strong.
I will not complaint if chelsea will lose against city coz this club is still on the its peak performance this season. im only hoping there will be attractive gameplay from chelsea and manchester city and it will make the game becomes even more attractive than before.
Im hoping that if pochettino will be using the best line up to beat city although it was an impossible thing to happen for chelsea.
You're right he did brilliantly in the previous match against villa, he blocked several shots from finding the back of the net and saved his team from being defeated or sharing points with villa. With the arrival or Sir Jim and the current appointments in recruitment teams and board members, i think Onana knows what's at stake if he fails to get back in form, therefore he's gradually gaining back his confidence hence his new form.

 Comparing both team, everyone knows City are definitely the most likely to win that game, I mean they're one of the toughest squad in the league if not the toughest and they got more better and experienced squad than Chelsea, even a more better manager, well that doesn't mean Pochettino ain't good but I don't think I'll compare him to Pep Guardiola who's won major trophies in several league and even won 3 trophies with City last season, i don't think Chelsea would be able to defeat City, maybe they could share points.

If we look at the current season, Nice is indeed stronger than Lyon, but if we look at the previous season, Lyon and Nice's performance is actually almost the same because Lyon is a club like Nice and Monaco in League 1, only this season Lyon is experiencing bad luck and has to fight. to get out of the relegation zone and that is not an easy thing for Lyon because Lyon continued to experience continuous defeat last year, but entering this new year Lyon began to show improvement and started to improve slowly Lyon returned to its best performance and continued to win matches until finally Lyon can get out of the relegation zone for a while.

Statistical data cannot be used as a benchmark because Nice also just suffered a defeat at home against Monaco, while this match will be held at Lyon headquarters, while the mentality of Lyon players has been improving recently. I hope Lyon wins this match so that they can continues to improve ranked in league 1.
Lyon was gradually becoming a relegation team and we knew for sure that they didn't want that for themselves. Their recent games have been impressive on their side and it seems like there's a huge possibility to be out fully from the bottom zone. They have a couple of games to go and they have to secure at least a good number points to be out of the relegation zone completely even though they're trying better than a few weeks back already.

 Hopefully, they'd be able to play more well and win some games and draw some and also avoid much losses too because every loss will affect their chance. Extra efforts and determination needs to be put to the team and they've got face the reality of the battle they've got at hand. No laziness or backwardness should be entertained too. Their league is not so competitive and they normally themselves have the strength before now to compete. There's still high chance for them. Asides the 3points being secured, the goal margin should be considered too as it plays it's own role in keeping a club at the top.

[quote author=Hvdv
At least Neymar has professionalism as a football player and he cannot continue to stay in Brazil just because he is still injured. He was paid very handsomely at Al-Hilal and he had to show that Al-Hilal did not make a mistake in recruiting him. On the other hand, he also has to be close to his teammates and we know that since he first arrived in the Saudi League he has rarely socialized with other players.

I think while he is injured he will still have support from his teammates and that will be very good for his recovery. Regarding his weight gain, it was because in Brazil he had no one to remind him and was too free to hang out with his friends so he forgot that he still had responsibilities at Al-Hilal. During this season it is clear that there has been no real contribution from his big name as a football star and at least before his contract ends he can provide something commensurate to his current team. Especially next season, he will be ready when Al-Hilal needs him and will also take care of his body so he doesn't get injured as often as before.
Al-Hilal wants Neymar for themselves. He's down with injury issues and would definitely come back to work for the team sooner or later. The team has a focus and a target and they're ready to give ith their best shot.Not just Neymar in the team, Al-Hilal is likely to recruit European beats to herself. This is team building, they're about to make a name for themselves. All is for the purpose of expansion and growth.

 No matter how long it'd take, Neymar is 99% likely to have a shot at Al-Hilal. They didn't go into talks with him and his agent without a plan for him. We hope to see him bounce back and do beautifully well for the team. he's no doubt a very good player when he's fully in form and I believe he still got a lot to offer Al-Hilal when he fully recovers.

Ajax met defeat once again after the recovery process in the league. Their 12-week unbeaten streak was broken as they lost to Heerenveen.Ajax started the match badly and closed the first half 2-0 down.The difference increased to 3 with a goal at the beginning of the second half and things became more difficult for Ajax and it was difficult to turn it around from here and they failed.Although they played more ball than their opponents, it was a match where the goal scorer won this match.With this defeat, Ajax has been defeated again after a long time.
PSV, on the other hand, continues to win at full speed.They almost showered their opponent with goals.PSV, who played incredibly well in the match, did not even give their opponent a chance.I must say that they had the opportunity to shoot 33 shots in the match as well as 72% possession statistics.Although such a statistic in the away match is easy, we can say that it is a very good statistic for a team that has the potential to be champions.They continue to maintain the point difference between them and their closest rival.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, finished the week with a comfortable win again.The point difference with PSV is 10 and it seems difficult to close it after this time.Their opponents are playing incredibly and it looks like they will be champions this season.Feyenoord will want to finish 2nd in the league at least behind them because we can say that the top 2 teams in the league go directly to the champions league.Twente is the team that rivals them and the point difference between them is now 5.
 Ajax have not been at their best performances but they've definitely been winning games and have been consistent to it. Definitely a coach has his own impact in a team, once the head is faulty, there'll always be loopholes. It means a lot for a team to get victorious consecutively in a row and for Ajax, that's caused a gradual improvement regardless not doubting that they still have to put in more work. They've got players no doubt but the squad needs to be better.

 Ajax is a team better than a narrow win, at the moment though, finding the right player who's top and ready in all areas to give that competitive capacity in both the domestic league and the European leagues will be hard. Their inconsistency is unhealthy and they just have to find a way to stop the losses from occuring through a narrow means. There's still a bit of time for their errors to be reshaped and corrected too.
969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 14, 2024, 09:40:48 PM

If you look at their statistics in the last decade, they show a decline, I don't even see them as they used to be when they were victorious, at that time they still had Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and others. I think one of the things that makes them like this is because they are not ready when their mainstay players leave the team one by one, or in the sense that their regeneration process is not going well.
Another problem is the financial problems they are experiencing at the moment, it is very pronounced for their decline. That problem makes them unable to move more freely and that they cannot bring in new, fresher players to help or fill their weaknesses.
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. They really been affected by injuries and financial crisis and I hope they recover very soon.

 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.

Yeah, if we refer to Sociedad's match in the group phase, the squad coached by Imanol Alguacil advanced with quite good results with 12 points they achieved. 3 matches with a win, 3 matches with a draw. however, in the last 4 matches in two different competitions, Sociedad did not produce perfect points. three matches with a draw, the last match with a defeat.

On the other hand, PSG has been far from impressive in its domestic league. so far, Paris Saint-Germain has almost always achieved positive results. unfortunately, in the Champions League PSG's performance was not that impressive. especially, when playing away matches. in the group F phase, PSG was only able to rank 2nd. in the match which will be held in a short time, it seems that Luis Enrique's squad is quite ready to host the match against Real Sociedad. it seems that Enrique already has a standard that he can rely on when fighting to host Real Sociedad, so it is very likely that Paris Saint-Germain will use a 4-3-3 pattern. Dembele, Mbappe, Assensio, look like they will be included in the starting eleven in this match. the rest, PSG is filled with its core players in each line. as for their two young strikers, Goncalo and Kolo Miani, it looks like they will start from the reserve bench.

In the Real Sociedad camp, it looks like Imano Alguacil will use a 4-3-3 pattern. what is certain is that Real Sociedad will not just give up even though the match is played at the Parc des Princes. referring to the betting market, bookies give odds to Real Sociedad with odds @5.40, while Paris Saint-Germain with odds @1.66. my estimate for this match is that PSG will win, but the ideal betting option is the Over 2.5 goals @1.94 option. well, let's wait

Real Sociedad are doing quite good in the UCL as compared to the La Liga. In th La Liga they’re performing poorly and currently they’re heading to the UCL and they’re squared up with PSG. The France giants are a good team but they can’t be trusted in most matches especially as the whole team seems not to be participating but rather leaving it all at the feet of Kylian. This alone makes PSG To also look as one team that Sociedad can overcome as they’re not performing excellently.

 Well this match will be evenly contested but I think PSG will have the upper hand in this fixture as they’re a better team but I don’t think the margin will be quite great in this fixture in both legs. Currently the match is ongoing and PSG are already winning by 1-0 and I think they'll be victorious in this game cause the odds favours them Currently.

Yes, it's true that Bayern Munich's performance is not completely bad, Bayern Munich's performance looks bad because Leverkusen has been impressive this season, which makes Bayern Munich seen as having bad luck. Even though Bayern Munich has only suffered 3 defeats so far and it is possible that until the season ends the defeat they have experienced Bayern Munich is no more than 5, while Leverkusen itself has appeared consistent and has not experienced defeat, which is why Leverkusen has been at the top of the standings for quite a long time with a 5 point advantage over Bayern Munich.

Yes, in my opinion, Thomas Tuchel's coaching is not very optimal because Bayern Munich suffered defeat when facing a club that was not very strong and that was a very surprising thing. Unless Bayern Munich lost to Dirtmund or Leipzig but in fact this season Bayern Munich was defeated by the Frankfurt club and Bremen this season, what makes everyone doesn't understand the defeat of the Bundesliga giants, but yes, in football there are always unexpected surprises, but at least Tuchel can learn from these mistakes so that he doesn't experience defeat again.
Bayern Munich is one team that has very good player combinations, they have in the team quality and skilful players who are in their various positions performing their best. Yes there are competitions from Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and a lot more competitions in the UCL but the team is capable of subduing the stress of the competitions.

 Tuchel has his eyes on the Bundesliga trophy and a bigger eye on the UCL trophy. Although Alonso seems as a threat with the current performance and display from Bayern Leverkusen but Tuchel who's more experienced has drafted out his plans, processes and techniques and he seems ready for any competition that awaits him. He's got a good team for himself and I believe he'd be able to be victorious in 95% of his encounters. Bayern Munich is just one good team that are a general threat to every team they're up against and they have better victory chances too.
972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 14, 2024, 08:50:42 PM

I do not think so. The Scudetto is 99% certain to belong to Inter Milan. There is no doubt whatsoever there. I think hoping that Inter Milan will lose in the next few games is almost impossible. They are not like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Even though Leverkusen is 5 points ahead of Munich at the moment, they are not the strongest team. It's just that they are indeed at their best. And Munich also still has a chance to catch up on points again.

This situation is different in Serie A. Inter Milan is stronger than other teams. The victory over Juventus has confirmed that they are the best in Italy and 99% have confirmed the title. Because the other teams are much weaker than them. I think after there are only a few games left in the league and they can't get enough points, then they will focus on the Champions League, if they are able to reach the semifinals or final.
Asides the Copa Italia this season, there's no other outside contest Juventus will be a part of. They're aimed at securing the Serie A trophy even if Inter won't make it easy for them. The battle will be intense too and so many game wins are expected from both teams.

 Weeks ago, their win was certain in the Copa Italia contest and they'd advance to the finals, although, they'll be rivaled with Roma who are also fierce to bag the trophy. So I'd say that this season, Juventus two trophy chances are just slim and with extra effort, the odds are either they take both or take one or take none. Thankfully , they were able to win and advance to the next stage of the Copa Italia. We anticipate how their next fixture for the league would turn out. Let's see how the next months would unfold till the season is wrapped up.

Dortmund this weekend will playing at Wolfsburg home ground and as a host Wolfsburg performance is quite dissapointing because during 2024 Wolfsburg still unable to gets the winning results because in Bundesliga total Wolfsburg only can collect 4 points from 5 latest matches and for Dortmund indeed compared to last season Dortmund performance is still unstable and Dortmund too have to out from race title with Bayern Munich and Leverkusen but at least gradually Dortmund still able to bounce back and now they will compete for champion league zone spots with Stuttgart and Leipzig

The players just like Niclas Fullkrug or Donyell Malen was being an important players for Dortmund and they were showing impressive performance which help Dortmund to gets several positive results in Bundesliga especially for Niclas Fullkrug his records 10 goals and 7 assists in Bundesliga is proven he is on fire and these players will be available for this match later however regarding the outcomes of this match considering Wolfsburg poor performance and they still unable to bounce back then my prediction is Dortmund will be able to resumes their winning streak and collect 3 points from this match
Dortmund in previous seasons have been very much active and eager to chase the trophy. Although at the moment the chase isn't off, they've still got every chance in store to prove themselves. Their game against Wolfsburg is scheduled for this weekend and it's technically a determinant of how good they've been.

 They've had scaly strides from the start of the season up till now, they've managed to scale through in the UCL, no one knows their fate in the next round but there's certainty that there's difference in their performances now and then too. They're a good team that just needs to find back their balance, there confidence level has dropped big and corrections needs to be made soon enough too. There's no time out to let go off winning chances, it'll keep drawing them back.

Today, there is UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches first leg. In my opinion, the favorite teams are PSG and Bayern Munich. I feel like we will watch very enjoyable matches.

PSG's starting XI against Real Sociedad: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo Pereira, Beraldo, Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Dembele, Barcola, Mbappe. Real Sociedad's starting XI against PSG : Remiro, Traore, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Galan, Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino, Kubo, Barrenetxea, Andre Silva.

Bayern Munich's starting XI against Lazio: Neuer, Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim Min Jae, Guerreiro, Kimmich, Goretzka, Sane, Müller, Musiala, Kane. Lazio's starting XI against Bayern Munich : Provedel, Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Guendouzi, Vecino, Luis Alberto, Isaksen, Felipe Anderson, Immobile.
Another set of round of 16 matches today in the UCL. The UCL is now getting trimmed to just the big boys participating in the competition and the fans are loving it now. Bayern Munich at this stage are sure favorites but the issue is how long they’ll be able to stay in the competition especially as Tuchel isn’t playing the attacking football the club is known for. As for PSG, they’re also favorites but will they be able to keep up as the competition keeps growing intensed.

 The competition is an elite competition and elite participation will be needed from clubs in the competition as this is my fear for Bayern and PSG past this stage of the competition. PSG might be tough in their league but over the years they've not really pull a treat in the UCL while Bayern Munich is struggling lately and it could affect their UCL performance.

I disagree here because AS Roma won three games against weaker sides with lost against Inter Milan even they play good, but now they are going to face Feyenoord which is having good performance in Eredivisie and their quality is also at his best which is giving them good edge this could be another test case for the De Rossie which is now going to have his fifth match as Roma coach and if they are able to win then surely we can expect better things in coming weeks because they need to be win games after playing better but if they again lost then surely things could be not improved after exit of José Mourinho.

First match is going to be played in the Netherlands which is surely interesting no we will have how things are going to be happened for the Roma can they do improvement under De Rossi, or we are going to have same results like we have in the past.
Well De Rossi time at Roma is already on track and he’ll be having quite some crazy time as he’ll be having some huge tests. His first test was against Inter Milan and he wasn’t able to leave up to expectation. Now, his next test if Feynoord and that’ll be at Netherland; Feynoord is one big team that is doing well in their league. Roma will have to improve their performance against Feynoord if they want to have any shot at the Europa League.

 The match at the Netherland will be quite difficult as Feynoord will want to have a win in this match to secure their spot in the next round but Roma would have to try not to be able to concede much goals if they want to go far in the competition, this would be a very big test for De Rossi since he's not managed his new team in a big tournament against another European team from another country.

From onset after the draw of round of 16 was announced I already knew Man City has a brighter chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals at the expense of Copenhagen whose team I believe is a less formidable opponent it's like a walkover match for Man City thus I am not surprised that they defeated Copenhagen right at their home making the second leg to be easy match at Etihad with Man City having a two goals advantage over their rival, however Man City next fixture is against Chelsea this weekend I believe their  midweek win is a big boost and motivation to play Chelsea this weekend City who are also the league title contender would aim for a win.
Well Copenhagen aren’t any match to Man City, as they’re one tough opponent and they’re title contenders. Copenhagen tried to be able to at least get 1 goal as equalizer. No one expected Copenhagen to be able to have anything in this fixture and one tough fixture. Man City are favorites of the UCL as I’m confident of them heading to the UCL quater final  or Semi-finals if not the finals.

 Chelsea will be one big match for City as I feel they’ll prepare more for that match rather than the one against Copenhagen. The defeat at the home of Copenhagen has made the match of the 2nd leg an easy one for them but they'll take Chelsea more seriously cause of their quest to win the EPL title again, they're aware that if they lose the match against Chelsea it would give Liverpool and Arsenal a big advantage so they won't take it likely.

betting on chelsea was not that difficult as long as we do know that about the main potential risk to see chelsea to lose the game. yet the chelsea's match is always very hard to predict. The up and down performance was also making the situation even worst to the chelsea.
It was also making the situation even worst for the bettors too. Bettors hardly to bet on chelsea's game and it's caused by chelsea is not having good performance. Im also feeling so difficult to bet on chelsea. It's caused by this club is always going up and down anytime. It's hard to predict what pattern that will be made by chelsea soon.
I was expecting something good to happen with the club. Pochettino needs more time to make the club to be even more solid. It's hard to understand the performance chelsea caused by pochettino was always rotating the player like this time.
He puts palmer as a striker and jackson as a winger and it makes everything become very hard to pick. I hope that everything will be alright for chelsea. This club can climb up to compete with united as long as chelsea will be consistently winning the game.
Pochettino may need more time to make it happen soon.
Well teams needs consistent excellent performance before the are considered as a top team to be one one’s bet slip. Anything short of this leaves the punter in fear during the match. This is because the match can go either ways, and in the case of Chelsea, it’s always causing fear for punters as the team hasn’t improved in their style of play. In the match against Palace, you can see how they struggled in the first half.

 Then came in the 2nd half and were able to get their victory in the 2nd half. Though they were finding it quite difficult but were able to come through, this scare alone makes them not to be able to bet on them cause despite the fact that they wòn they're not as fierce and reliable as other top teams like Arsenal, Liverpool or City. But this win is a boost for them in the standings,  if they should keep up the momentum there's a chance of them playing a major tournament probably the conference League.

Arsenal are back on their feet and now they have the same points difference as Manchester City, so it can be confirmed that the competition for the title is truly between 3 big and strong team.
In the future, if anyone among the top 3 teams makes clear mistake they will go down and give the other two teams the opportunity to have the top position, I don't think Manchester City will make that mistake.
Moreover, Manchester City has 1 match postponed and I am sure that in this postponed match, Manchester City will definitely get the full 3 points and can overtake Liverpool as the top of the standings.
In the future, Manchester City will only face Chelsea and we can already know who will be the winner in this match Manchester City will clearly win more easily and be able to save all the points.
No matter how good Arsenal development is, I still believe that Manchester City is the best.
The Epl like I always say remains the most competitive league across Europe. As there are evident facts to back up this stance. Take a look at the league currently and you see a fierce battle in points and goal difference between the top 3 and the bottom 3-5 clubs. Arsenal who were almost written off have now proved some points in the wins against Liverpool and resounding win against West Ham that they’re not out of tge title race yet. This is going to be a fierce battle between these 3 clubs as any falter from any team now will see the other 2 being above in the race.

 Manchester City vs Chelsea over the weekend is one fixture that  many are looking forward too especially after the 4-4 match at the bridge in the 1st leg. For this leg, I think Manchester City will sure get the win but it might not be very easy as they expect especially as this Chelsea side is now trying to gain momentum after soMe crazy losses.

Nigerians will just come and everyone wants to have their say on the matter. This isn’t about not home based players anymore, can someone point out to me just one player that didn’t deserve that call up? All of them where worthy of the call up even Nwabali isn’t playing his trade now at the Nigerian league but South African league. People are clamoring for the coach to scout home grown players but how will he do that when the league itself is not in the right order this days. Our local league clubs hardly go far in continental football and you want the coach that is still finding his feet to fieldle in raw talent into a competition like AFCON? It will be a risk too much for him to handle, before we talk about home based players let’s revitalize the league itself for the boys to have better exposure.

As for those bullying Iwobi it is so sad that we resulted to that, we can say he had a bad game but right before the competition started we all know he wasn’t an attacking midfielder but due to lack of choice the boy did well there. He created more chances than any of his fellow players there. He and the team were carried away with celebrations and Ivory Coast capitalized on that and won just like if it was our day we will have capitalized on there mistake

This is football one side must lose and we were that side in the final, let’s cheer this patriots and back them to go stronger
The Nigerian Local league hasn’t experienced any form of improvement yet and that’s why picking players to represent the nation from the league is quite challenging. Based on the ranking in Africa the league holds no sweet position and getting players from their to play in the National team might be disastrous. I think the players playing across Europe or in better Africa Leagues aren’t doing bad as we can see how they performed for the Nation in th just concluded AFCON. Based on Iwobi’s issue, I think the Nigeria fans are just showing the anger of losing in a match owing that they were major favorites.

 I think they should also know that football doesn’t have to go your way everytime as sometimes you could lose in a more bigger stage than expected. Though Iwobi too should also try to up his game as he’s a wonderful player and as sought should be delivering stellar performances and not some reckless passes.

In my opinion if the won against girona will be boosting the performance from the club a lot. Im concerning about how good the performance of real madrid is right now. Real madrid is still playing very well even without bellingham. This club was not the same like other club. Ancellotti has been building a special team that was not getting a lot of impact once it would be missing some players. Girona was not able beating manchester city. I think that if we have got the champion of la liga this season. There will be no club that can compete with rela madrid right now. Barcelona keeps struggle to beat the weak team and this proves that if real madrid will be obsolutely dominate the competition started from the middle to the end of season.
Things are changing so fast in la liga. Buying bellingham has been helping real madrid to consistently winning the game. he was a very important asset owner by real madrid. I hope that if real madrid will get la liga trophy this season.
It's not weird to see that if people are not favoring real madrid to win the competition as soon as possible. Madrid is leading the competition right now.
Well Real Madrid are one team that’s now looking unstoppable especially when they’re halving injury scare. This team had been built in such a way that when a player is out on injury, the imapct isn’t really felt by the club.Yes as they’re still able to still get the wins they need. The win over Girona has been a big boost to their league title chase and this is also a scare sign to other clubs in the league who are thinking of winning them.

 Currently they’re the only outstanding club in the league and I’m very confident that if they keep playing like this, then they’ll win the league earlier than expected. The addition kf Jude to this team was on point as he’s presence is the real pivot in this team’s success this season and we must commend Madrid Scout for making sure he was signed to the club.
