In fact, if Kevin De Bruyne had been played from the start of the match then the result would not have been like this and that was Pep Guardiola's strategy to include him as a supersub. The results, as we can see, with energy that is still fit and also an extraordinary game vision, the results are very commensurate. If Kevin De Bruyne is included from the start, it is possible that Manchester City will be under more pressure because his recovery will not support a fierce match like this and I think Pep Guardiola's decision is very correct.

Now Manchester City certainly feels very favored again after the return of Kevin De Bruyne and other teams like Liverpool are certainly very alert, especially as Jurgen Kloop also realizes that Manchester City's real big strength is Kevin De Bruyne and therefore Liverpool must not waste points in the future so that Manchester City doesn't can overtake them.

It is normal for De Bruyne to only be played as a supersub, in this context he suffered a long injury. so, Pep did what he should have done, especially in the match against Newcastle. and this decision is not just a matter of Pep's strategy, but to adjust the player, to adapt well when he returns to the field and before De Bruyne is made a main starter in the City squad again. even if De Bruyne is played as the main starter, it is very likely that the pattern that Pep Guardiola applies will be different. so, there are various possible scenarios if De Bruyne is played as the main starter. but what is certain is that as we know, if Pep prefers to play he starts from the bench.

And yeah, we agree that with the return of Kevin De Bruyne, Pep can apply the pattern that is usually his mainstay. thus, City's performance can improve much more than when De Bruyne was injured. Pep can rotate his players according to the pattern and strategy he applies. even if Pep Guardiola prefers De Bruyne to be played as a supersub in several matches or several weeks, City will still be a threatening team, especially for Liverpool. moreover, if Haalaand has recovered from his injury, you can be sure that these two players will complement each other like they did last season. so, it seems that the competition for the Premier League trophy this season will be even more exciting.

Roma is not expecting anything in this season regarding winning a trophy and I think also Mourinho does not expect wins either regarding European trophies.They don't have the players and resources but that does not mean anything,they will take games one by one and if they see that it is possible to have a go at winning an European trophy then by all means they will do the maximum in their power to achieve such trophy.

It could be so, yeah like what you said in this post, AS Roma is not targeting trophies in the Europa League competition. what they will do is, play the match as well as possible, including playing the playoff match against Feyenoord. actually, I don't really take part in following the development of teams competing in Serie A. however, looking at AS Roma's performance and ranking in their domestic league, what you say is quite realistic. maybe, if Jose Mourinho prioritizes his team's squad to focus on its Domestic League competition. at least, Mourinho's goal and focus brought his team to finish in the position they should be. at the very least, Mourinho is targeting his team to finish in the top five in the standings. or, try as hard as possible to get into the top four of the Serie A standings. moreover, this season is Jose Mourinho's last season in charge of AS Roma. if Roma does not extend his services, or the Portuguese coach chooses to leave. He will try to bring his team to reach its best level, especially in the Domestic League. however, that doesn't mean Roma won't try their best when playing their matches in this competition. because after all, last season Roma were finalists and this season they will do their best, including trying to overthrow Feyenoord in the playoffs. Let's see how Jose Mourinho's team plays in this competition.

PSG can win easily when away to RC lens. first the RC lens penalty executed by Frankowski failed this caused the match to decline. added J gradith got a red card. so it's very natural that PSG won this match. there is nothing surprising in this match according to the results of what happened on the field.

What is clear is that PSG won the match against Lens, regardless of what happened during the match. in fact, Lens had the opportunity to score first from the penalty spot in the 7th minute, but unlucky for the home team, the executed shot from the penalty spot was blocked by the PSG goalkeeper. even if Lens is able to score a goal from the penalty spot, it doesn't rule out the possibility that PSG could even play more aggressively and ultimately win the match. even before one of the Lens players was given a red card, Barcola had scored first in the 30th minute. towards the end of the first half, Jonathan Gradit was given a red card.

Moreover, based on match statistics, PSG has more control over ball possession. apart from that, from a technical perspective PSG is much better than the home team. in essence, PSG is able to continue its positive trend so far and widen the points gap from teams below their ranking. with this result, PSG is more profitable and can focus on other competitions, especially the Champions League.

As for Lens, as I said in several previous posts. at least now Lens are experiencing improvement, they were even able to provide resistance when they hosted PSG by having several opportunities and at the same time counterattacking several times, although in the end Franck Haise's team collapsed in this match. But at least Lens remains in a safe position from the red zone, they still have lots of matches for Lens to play. which means, Lens still has a chance to improve their ranking.

Al-Hilal, who haven't lost even once this season in the Saudi Pro League, is truly extraordinary. And this is also a sign that Al-Hilal is indeed the best this season. Even Al-Nassr lost when facing them. Al-hilal managed to pass the 19 matches in the Saudi Pro League without defeat. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr has had 3 defeats and the defeats were from the first 2 matches of the season when Cristiano Ronaldo was absent in the first 2 matches.

I also hope Al-Nassr can win the title this season. But I realize that it really won't be easy with the remaining games in the season. Unless Al-hilal loses their consistency in the middle of this season.

I also can't wait to see the matches between Al-hilal vs Inter Miami and Al-Nassr vs Inter Miami. Yes, these two matches will definitely attract the attention of all football fans. Especially for fans of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. And everyone is also curious whether Al-hilal, who is unbeaten in the SPL, will be defeated by Inter Miami.

Well, one of the factors that has made Jorge Jesus successful so far in managing Al Hilal in his first season, is that he was able to keep his team going consistently and without losing in his 19 matches in the Saudi Pro League. plus, in several other competitions. although when compared in terms of team depth, Al Nassr has far the most competitive squad than other teams. however, what differentiates Al Hilal from other teams in this competition is that they carry out very good, solid, disciplined teamwork, plus they are filled with players who are appropriate in their respective positions. that's why, so far Al Hilal has been able to move smoothly compared to other teams. what's cool is that Al Hilal has been able to win 20 of its matches in various competitions so far. now, there are rumors that Al Hilal is targeting players who can be relied on in the defense line. with the scenario, the Al Hilal coach wants his defense line to be stronger. thus, it is hoped that the competing teams, especially Al Nassr, will find it difficult to reduce the point difference or even get close to Al Hilal's points.

Well, because this competition still has enough time left, each team competing in this league can focus on improving their respective teams. as for Al Nassr, as I said in many previous posts. Luis Castro's job is only to focus his team's squad to remain consistent and win the matches they will play, especially when they have to defeat Al Hilal in the second meeting. while hoping, Al Hilal will slip up in several of their matches. thus, the potential to overtake the standings or win trophies this season is still wide open. moreover, there is still half the season that each team has to play. which means, we cannot yet confirm which team will win the trophy this season even though so far Al Hilal is one of the teams closest to the league title. Let's just wait, at least until the end of this season.

~Snip~
Bayern are playing a more flexible game on the pitch, whereas they used to play with a pressing character. Their attacks are not so aggressive and effective compared to before. Even though Bayern plays very well on the pitch, it is certain that they are in a weak position compared to their rivals in the Champions League. They give too many positions. Even though he didn't have a striker, it was better under Nagelsman in my opinion. I think Tucheli will be sent at the end of the season.
Tuchel is still worth keeping based on the results achieved by Bayern Munich, they are still in the title race this season. The 3-0 victory over Hoffenheim was a good result achieved by Munich, the sharpness of their attack line is still very effective, Harry Kane is also still able to maintain his performance well. The increasing performance of Bayer Leverkusen means that Bayern Munich has to work hard to regain control of the standings, one more win achieved by Bayern Munich makes the difference between the two to one point. Tuchel just needs to keep his team's performance consistent, the opportunity to win the title is still very open, he hasn't failed yet because the competition is still ongoing and his team position is still active in the hunt for trophies.

The Bundesliga competition is only halfway through the season, so there are still many matches left for Bayern Munich under the guidance of Thomas Thuchel. so far in 16 matches, Bayern has only experienced 1 defeat, although Bayern Munich also experienced 2 matches with a draw. however, their performance was by no means bad overall. even if there are times when Bayern underperforms in some of their matches, this is very normal. remember, previously Bayern Munich was not strengthened by its core players. several defenders were injured, and at that time Bayern relied more on Sven Ulreich. We are well aware that Sven Ulreich is not very capable of being relied on, especially in crucial matches. there are several factors that make people have doubts about Thomas Tuchel, especially when Bayern Munich lost badly when they visited Frankfurt. also, Bayern fell at the hands of a team far from their level in the DFB Pokal competition. But in reality, Bayern Munich's potential in the Bundesliga to defend its title is still very large and still strong. Bayern Munich's dominance will still be very difficult to break, we cannot even confirm or prove that the Bundesliga trophy this season will be won by another team, especially Bayer Leverkusen.

So far, the two teams are only separated by 4 points. But Bayern still has one match postponed, and a meeting with Leverkusen. If, Tuchel is able to take advantage of these two matches and remain consistent on the winning path throughout the match. which means, the top of the standings will again be occupied by Bayern Munich. Honestly, I am a neutral supporter, I really like Leverkusen's current style of play and so does Bayern Munich with Kane. For now, I still believe that Bayern will slowly return to the top and it's just a matter of time. except, if Tuchel is unable to maintain the performance of his team.
On the other hand, Leverkusen's victory in yesterday's match was a big concern for Xabi Alonso, considering that Victor Boniface was injured, Leverkusen had a little difficulty in scoring goals. Moreover, when they play matches against teams that are equal or stronger. especially, when Leverkusen hosts a match against Bayern and this is a serious challenge. because Bayern has a big chance to overthrow Leverkusen in the next meeting. So, let's just enjoy it while waiting for which team will actually win the trophy this season.

I think this is because Barcelona is in an unstable situation because the players cannot perform optimally, especially in this match, the opponents are quite tough. In the previous La Liga match, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid and this season was Barcelona's second defeat. by their arch-rival Real Madrid and this can be concluded that Barcelona is indeed not in good condition so that Real Madrid can beat them easily with an extraordinary landslide score.

Yes, Vinicius Junior performed extraordinary in this match and it made Ancelotti smile broadly because he saw his players appear impressive in the first half and made Barcelona defeated in the face of Real Madrid's attacks and Barcelona's defense looked very weak in this match so Real Madrid could create many opportunities goal while Real Madrid managed to keep the defense tight and Barcelona was only able to reply with 1 goal through Lewandowski but this had no effect at all because Real Madrid had locked in victory since the first half.

Well, it's very clear that Barcelona is not in good condition. we can see several key players who have suffered injuries, the poor performance of Barcelona players and who knows what Xavi is planning to get his squad back on track. and yeah, this defeat was Barcelona's second defeat this season during the El Clasico match. last night's match, Barcelona's defeat was the saddest thing for Barcelona. at least, losing by a narrow score wasn't that big of a deal. however, Barcelona fell with a score of 4-1. even though, this match was held at a neutral venue.
for me, there are several points that made Barcelona easily defeated by Real Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana match. just look, Barcelona has lost since the first half with a score of 3-1. we can also refer to the statistics of the Barcelona players, Balde and Araujo really underperformed. I have often said that several Barcelona defenders have experienced a decline in their performance this season. likewise with the absence of Ter Stegen, who was quite influential in guarding Barcelona's crossbar. because Inaki Pena has not been able to show his ability to guard his goal so that he doesn't always concede.

in fact, it is not uncommon for Barcelona to concede first in several of their matches, this condition is different from the performance of Barcelona's defense last season. apart from that, Barcelona's front line is experiencing a deadlock in terms of scoring goals. even though in last night's match, Lewandowski played quite well. of all the Barcelona players in the last few matches, only Gundohan has really performed consistently with his best performance. well, sometimes I don't understand when Xavi puts in players who are not even ideal at all. he tried to experiment, and the results fell with a landslide score. anyway, Barcelona is still my favorite team. I hope that Xavi is able to find the best format for his team in the matches they will play. as for Real Madrid, their performance really deserves appreciation and Vini Jr was the best player in last night's match. there's not much I can say about Real Madrid, but they really deserved the win over Barcelona. and yeah, congratulations to Real Madrid.

Today the Asian Cup will present the matches South Korea vs Bahrain and Indonesia vs Iraq. and it seems that this match will not feature an exciting battle between the teams that will compete. in the two matches that will be held soon, the betting market favors South Korea and Iraq. naturally, the teams that will compete today have gaps based on their respective rankings. Korea is ranked 23rd in FIFA, and Bahrain is ranked 86th. while Indonesia is ranked 146th, and Iraq is ranked 63rd. Well, at least we have a little idea of ​​these teams. plus, so are the betting odds for this match. unfortunately the information I get is very limited for the teams that will compete tonight, I have difficulty getting at least predictions regarding player lineups, systems and patterns. even though I'm not very familiar with the players, the information I need is very helpful in terms of analysis and research. what is certain is that South Korea is far superior to Bahrain. likewise, Iraq is the favorite in this match. South Korea with odds @1.16, and Bahrain with @15.00. while Iraq with @1.29, Indonesia @9.00.

Obviously, there appears to be a gap based on the odds, ranking and depth of players from each team. what is clear is that it is not ideal to bet on the superior team with the 1×2 option. because the odds offered are very, very low. the question is whether anyone will choose the Underdog team in this match, considering the odds are quite tempting. if I had to predict, the Over 3 goals option with odds @1.80 is the ideal choice for the South Korea vs Bahrain match. for Indonesia vs Iraq, honestly I hope the Indonesian national team is able to give their best game.  However, it is not an easy job for Shin Tae-yong to ensure that his team is able to match the opposing team's squad in this match. this is a difficult job for Indonesia, especially to overthrow Iraq in this match. however, football is unique and we cannot guarantee every result with certainty and accuracy. so, the +1.5 @1.88 hidicap option for Indonesia is the right choice for me. natural, because Indonesia is our country's national team. well, let's just wait for this match to take place.

Arsenal are a good team, they're active in all competitions and they've got the special ability to get victorious at the end. Well for me they've got a great squad and impressive management too but it'll be better if there's an improvement to what they already have. Adding a striker to the list and a few more players with increased effect won't really be a bad idea, rather it'll push the team into getting greater, bigger results.

 It's actually good that so far, the team have been promising and they're working smoothly with their manager too. Errors are quickly corrected and coordinations are present to. One would wait to anticipate what the January transfer window holds for this team. But for the meantime, they still have top contending chance in the European tournaments too.

well, we agree with what you said, Arsenal actually has characteristics in their game. in fact, Arsenal was able to fight City at that time and overthrow them. Game-wise, the Gunners always play good and impressive games. unfortunately, for me, Arsenal lacks one player they can rely on. as you said, adding a pure striker will provide a much more dangerous attack power. but on condition that it is an established, pure sticker. we agree that Arsenal really needs a consistent goal scoring machine, because Nketiah cannot always be expected, especially in crucial matches. as for Gabriel Jesus, this player is a pretty good player. His contribution to Arsenal is very important. but unfortunately, he doesn't always score goals in every match. but however, this player is very clever in opening up opportunities for his teammates.

Well, if Arteta adds one player, namely a pure sticker, at least Arteta has many options in the center forward sector. apart from that, Gabriel Jesus is a versatile player, he can be placed on the wing. I hope Arteta will bring what they need. moreover, so far Arsenal have been linked with several names who play as center forwards. I hope as a Gunners supporter, Arteta will make it happen. well, overall I agree with what you said, especially the point that errors will be corrected. however, on condition that they add one established player in the center forward position. thus, at least Arsenal can compete fiercely in this competition, especially in the Premier League.

While Al Hilal is getting perfect results in Saudi Arabia and they had good performance and there is a huge gap between them and other people, but it seems they are close to hiring another player and Renan Lodi the player of Marseille is linked to this team.
This 25-year-old player will close around 25 million euros.

~~

Lately, I rarely follow any developments in news rumors or player transfers. so, I only refer to the sources you said in this thread. if that is true, in other words Neymar's removal for the 2023-24 season will or has already been done. in this way, Al Hilal can still increase the quota of foreign players they bring in. well, we know very well that until now Al Hilal remains firmly at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. the team squad managed by Jorge Jesus always plays quite impressive matches, it could be said that Mitrovic and his colleagues are in the on fire phase. Basically Al Hilal plays solid, disciplined and strong teamwork. plus, it is supported by players who are competent in their respective positions.

However, it seems that the club management is not satisfied with what their team has displayed throughout their matches this season. with Neymar absent due to a long injury, the club and coach seem to have made a unanimous decision to drop Neymar for this season. therefore, Renan Lodi seems to be their target. Regardless of whether there is mediation between Al Hilal, the players and Marseille, Renan Lodi seems to be the target player that the team needs for Al Hilal. also, considering that this Marseille player is capable of playing in several positions. but it seems, if this rumor is true and an agreement is reached, it seems that Renan Lodi will be positioned as a defender by the Al Hilal coach. in this way, it is hoped that this team will become stronger according to the coach and club management. Anyway, let's just talk about the next developments, especially since I haven't confirmed the validity of Al Hilal's plans with one of the players from Marseille.

PSG must be really relieved after Lens got a red card right before the end of the first half. Because they were already ahead by 1-0 thanks to Barcola's goal. Now Lens must be demoralized quite a lot. The only thing PSG need to do from now on is to open the goal gap more and secure a comfortable win. Otherwise it will still be a risky score.

Winning this game is really important as they will make the point gap with Nice eight by doing that. I don't think PSG would miss this big opportunity while Lens have literally gifted the win to them by that red card.  Grin

Luis Enrique's squad did their job very well in this match by overthrowing Lens, at Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' home ground. with a score of 0-2, it was enough for PSG to widen the points gap from the teams below their ranking, especially Nice who are currently 8 points behind PSG. based on statistics, PSG controlled the game and were better from a technical perspective. overall, Luis Enrique's squad played quite impressively, except for Carlos Soler who underperformed. for the front line, Barcola, Mbappe and Dembelle, played with high performance. with this victory, PSG can be a little calmer with the points distance than its competitors. at least, Enrique can focus his team on several other competitions. especially if PSG is far ahead by a point difference from the team below them, their focus can be focused on the Champions League. and we'll see the next developments, how Enrique will lead his team, especially in the Champions League when they host Real Sociedad.

As for Lens, Franck Haise's team has to admit that their team does have quite a clear gap with PSG. but at least, Lens gave PSG a fight and had some pretty good chances. unfortunately, none of them were able to convert it into a goal. in the end, Lens had to settle for remaining in 8th place in Ligue 1.

Along the way, I think this season the European League is more interesting than the previous season, the competition here seems to be no less interesting than the Chmpions League, yes, although we don't say it will be the same as the Champions League, because there, however, the competition is more interesting because it is filled by clubs that really became a big club from the start.
However, at the competitive level, here also presents something interesting, especially when we start talking about existing clubs. Now AS Roma is an interesting topic of conversation, because they are the club that was in the final last season. At the same time, their performance is still far in comparison with other clubs such as Liverpool, for example. There is a club that has managed to attract the attention of many people this season with their young coach, yes, that is Leverkusen.

For me it's the same, in fact you think it's more interesting this season than last season. IMO, last season, especially in the round of 16 and the following rounds, offered quite interesting matches. but not for the semi-finals and finals, they weren't that interesting, even the teams that competed in the semi-finals and finals played bad matches, with the exception of Leverkusen. It could be said that this season looks interesting, but in fact the playoffs have not been held at all. however, there is nothing wrong with that because after all there are Liverpool and Leverkusen who have really attracted our attention this season. last season, there were Arsenal, United and even Barcelona but they failed in the playoffs against United.

But from my point of view, this game is not that interesting in the group phase of this competition. let's see, only a few teams stand out. but maybe it will be different when we enter the round of 16, we will wait to see which team will be the opponent of the two candidates we often mention in this thread. apart from that, maybe there are other teams that can provide exciting resistance to Leverkusen and even Liverpool. after all, there are several teams that can perform well when they meet strong teams. for example, Brighton. De Zerbi's team sometimes puts up exciting resistance to teams above their level. apart from Roma who were finalists last season, there are Galatasaray and AC Milan whose presence cannot be underestimated. moreover, if these teams qualify for the round of 16 of the Europa League. well, after this we will find out whether this competition will offer interesting matches compared to last season, we will find out after this competition is held again.

The first half for the Real Madrid vs Barcelona match is over and the temporary score is 3 - 1 where Real Madrid has taken a big lead after one of the Barcelona players made a mistake in the penalty zone by pulling Vinicius. And this is what led Vinicius to get a hat-trick of goals in the first half and in the second half I also didn't think that Barcelona would be able to equalize because in terms of strength and way of playing they were no better than the Real Madrid players even though Lewandowski scored a beautiful goal in that first half.

In fact, I wasn't surprised by this result, that's why I didn't review it before this match took place. and yeah, as I expected Barcelona fell with a fairly crushing score of 4-1. even though Barcelona is my favorite team, I really appreciate Real Madrid's victory in this match. in fact, Don Carlo didn't change his tactics much, but he was still able to make his team play consistently and win this match. almost overall, the Real Madrid players played very well and impressively, especially Vini Jr who was Man of the Match in this match. he managed to score a hat-trick, and brought his team to the championship. Based on match statistics, the two teams played fairly evenly. but in terms of opportunities, Real Madrid is much better. in fact, they have 5 big opportunities.

Speaking of Barcelona, ​​I don't know what to say. the reason is, sometimes I'm confused about what Xavi Hernandez is doing. actually, I don't have a problem with the pattern that Xavi uses, but the rotation of players he uses in this match. in fact, the pattern and system that Xavi applies is quite ideal for Barcelona, ​​but he has not been able to maximize his players to play well. in this match, I don't understand why Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres were played on the wings. I don't know what Xavi thinks, but in fact they have a more ideal player who deserves to be used as the main starter. even though in the previous match Felix was able to play very well and there was also Lamine Yamal, Xavi preferred to field other players. apart from that, I often criticize Barcelona's defense because they concede very easily this season. whether it's Balde, Araujo, Kounde, it's not uncommon for them to underperform. plus, goalkeeper Inaki Pena is not as good as main goalkeeper Ter Stegen. well, there are no other words other than congratulations to Real Madrid and they deserve to win this match.

Stuttgart should have no difficulty against Gladbach, but once again the hosts are definitely aiming for the same number of points so they can continue to survive in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart may be at the top at the moment but if they can't win against a team with quite a big gap, it's certain that Stuttgart will have a dark end to the season. A narrow defeat may be quite natural, but with a difference of 2 it proves that Stuttgart does not have complete control.

Before this match started, I suspected that there would not be many goals scored by the two competing teams. but my estimate was wrong, I didn't calculate that Gladbach would be able to score a quick goal, in fact they did it first. after Gladbach went 2-0 up, I changed my prediction to Over. and yeah, the result is as I expected if there were 4 goals in this match. Speaking from Stuttgart's side, I can understand that they are having trouble scoring goals. the reason is, the pure sticker they rely on suffered an injury and had to be absent for several weeks. and it was proven, Stuttgart had difficulty converting every opportunity they had into goals. of the 15 total shots, 2 were on target, 2 were big opportunities and 1 shot hit the goalpost, only one of them was able to convert into a goal. Statistically, Stuttgart controlled the game but they had difficulty finishing well in every opportunity they had. and I think that after the Stuttgart players recover from their injuries, especially Guirassy, ​​they have the potential to return to the real track.

On the other hand, I didn't think that Gladbach would destroy Stuttgart with a score of 3-1. even though I know that Gladbach are also quite productive in scoring goals, their defense is very fragile and it has been proven that they have conceded 36 goals in their 17 matches. but in this match, the home team was able to win the match. even though Stuttgart actually controlled the game, Gladbach were very good in terms of opportunities, even 3 of the total 8 shots they took were converted into goals. and yeah, Stuttgart had to admit defeat against Gladbach in Week 17 of the Bundesliga.

First of all, I never expected Manchester United to win this match against Tottenham. Really I was a little surprised to say that Manchester United was the one to break the deadlock. But I still believe that Tottenham is not going to lose this match. Tottenham actually had fallen off quite a long way this season. Remember that they were the team in the first position for quite a long time. But after that, they lost a few matches one after another. And now they are in the fifth position. But I still think Manchester United is doing a lot worse. I talked Manchester United was going to lose. But I will actually give Manchester United credit that they were able to get 1 point from this match. It is definitely a failure for Tottenham to not be able to win this match.

Regards

To be honest, I didn't watch this match, but previously I predicted that United would win this match by a narrow score margin. however, the thing I ignored was that I also had the impression that this match had the potential to end in a draw. and yeah, the match ended with a score of 2-2 and actually I wasn't surprised by this result. but since Rasmus Hojlund scored a quick goal in the 3rd minute, my optimism grew bigger if Ten Hag would bring his team to full points.nbut it turns out my prediction was wrong, this match ended in a draw. but at least, referring to statistics, some United players are starting to find their rhythm. Hojlund can now be expected more, and in other matches he should improve in his performance.

apart from that, Rashford is starting to play well again based on the statistics I checked. Bruno, can always be relied on if he is positioned in midfield. and several other players, especially Kobbie Maino,.underperformed. It's natural, he is a young player who needs time to adapt and reach his playing level. however, the impact had an impact on Eriksen, he did not play optimally. two wingers in defense, doing their job well. unfortunately, Evans and Varane did not play as expected. well, I didn't watch this match but I read it based on the available statistics. United fans should be quite satisfied with a draw rather than their team losing, considering that the performance of Erik Ten Hag's squad is unstable. plus, several of their core players have not yet recovered from their injuries.

I am quite optimistic, if United return with a complete squad they will perform very well. so, be patient United supporters. because after all, some of the players that Ten Hag fielded did not fully have the talent and skills of United's class.
as for Spurs, even though they are without some of their core players, Spurs are doing their job quite well. and fortunately, they avoided defeat. well, both teams have to be satisfied with sharing one point equally.

Monchengladbach vs Stuttgart.

Previously I was going to make a post for this match, but it seems the match has started and Gladbach was able to score a goal quickly. I didn't expect it beforehand, even though I suspected that this match wouldn't produce many goals..because both sides both have injured players, especially Stuttgart who cannot play their sharp sticker, namely Guirassy, ​​who is still recovering from his injury. now the match has been going on for more than 35 minutes, and Gladbach has temporarily led 2-0.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart, they have not been able to score a single goal, let alone equalize in the first half. It looks like it will be a difficult match for Sebastien Hoeness' team to catch up. But at least, this match still has time for Stuttgart to reduce its deficit. At the very least, Sebastien Hoeness must ensure his team if this match ends in a draw. however, it's not an easy matter.  Moreover, this match was held at Monchengladbach's home ground. well, I think the Over option can be an option in betting. there will be at least 2 more goals scored until this match is over. Over 3.75 goals, @1.70 can be an option if anyone wants to bet on this match.

I anticipate the match between Manchester united and Tottenham today and my pick is for Manchester united to win but then I'm very much aware that Tottenham in recent times are back on their feet and are playing really well but then traveling to old Trafford may be a disadvantage for them because the red devils will try to defend their home as they have lost so much at home this season but I'm very sure Tottenham Will be able to get at least a goal before the end of the game today..

Of Bruno and honjlud will be able to make good moves and some creativity around the Frontline I'm sure they will be able to break through the defense of Tottenham.

This match looks like it will be tight for United, because Spurs are not an easy team to beat. however, I am quite sure that Ten Hag will ensure that his team tries to show their best performance, especially since this match is being held at United's home ground at Old Tranfford. even though United's performance is unstable, especially in their last five matches, United have only been able to achieve one win. in this match, Ten Hag will try to get full points to improve their ranking which is currently in 9th position. and it seems that Ten Hag will not change the pattern with his 4-2-3-1. however, the status of the player who fills the pivot position is still in doubt. so, maybe there is a change in the players being played.

Meanwhile, Spurs, their performance is clearly more consistent when compared to the home team. in the 5 matches they played, Tottenham only lost when they visited Brighton. however, Spurs will not be strengthened by several of their core players in this match. some of the players, like Son, took part in the Asian Cup. and several of them are still injured. Likewise with United, several players are doubtful, including Onana. well, Ten Hag should have taken advantage of Spurs' condition, which was without several of its core players. so, The Red Devil maximized to get full points. plus, improving their ranking to approach the top four of the Premier League. but make no mistake, Spurs are also targeting full points to shift Arsenal's position. referring to the betting market, United with @2.03 and Spurs @3.20. in this match, United is slightly superior. my estimate is that Ten Hag will be able to bring his team to full points over Spurs with a narrow score difference.

I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,
~~

I'm really not surprised based on your story in this thread, in fact there are many types of people like the ones you describe and we can meet such things from any friend. one of them, like the personality from the other side of what happened to your friend. in real life, a person can discipline himself in any form. whether it's work, having regular financial management, being frugal, even your friend is someone who is very conservative. but on the other hand, it is as if your friend has a different personality that is not like what you know or his habits are different and unusual in certain things. the question is, is this related to the ego factor that you call an alter ego when it comes to gambling? or, something that he cannot control, such as habits that he has mastered with his discipline. IMO, the answer will vary greatly depending on the individual.

Actually, I don't know your friends so I'm not measuring based on my personal point of view. I'm just assuming, based on what you said in this thread. I can take another example, let's say my friend has a personality like your friend. but at the same time, he finds it difficult to control himself when faced with women. for example, my friend, who is usually frugal, suddenly became generous and didn't think about anything else except his focus on the woman in front of him. even though the cases are different, the essence remains the same. in essence, we feel that we cannot always fully master everything and be able to control it. especially those related to gambling, which involves many aspects. whether it's entertainment, fun, even the lure of high winning rewards. referring to your question, I didn't even think about it at all. what I do is, everything must go smoothly and in balance. thus, I rarely have serious problems due to the gambling that I enjoy and problems in the family from a financial perspective. btw, what happened to your friend, IMO, where he couldn't control himself over the gambling he did. It's not just an ego problem, but it's more complex than that. and, only your friend really knows what happened and what he actually did.

The Dortmund vs Darmstadt match has started and has entered the middle of the second half with the score 1 - 0 and the advantage is on Dortmund's side, even though basically Dortmund is in an unsatisfactory performance this season by only being able to stay in the top five of the standings and in five matches In the end they were only able to achieve one win, three draws and one defeat. On the other hand, I think this is a fairly easy match for Dortmund, although any result is still possible at the end of the match, but I think they can take advantage of any situation on the pitch when they are on the field. facing a team that is at the bottom of the standings, which means Darmstadt's performance is very bad this season, and clearly I think there is absolutely no reason for Dortmund not to be able to get the full three points in this match, because firstly this is a fairly easy match for them and secondly, however, they have to move up to catch Leipzig's position with a difference of 3 points. So I hope Dortmund can maintain its lead or increase the number of goals until the final minute.

Dortmund should win in this match, because after all the two teams have a significant gap both based on player depth and standings ranking. Damstadt is a team in the relegation zone, even though the match was played at their own headquarters, it was difficult to match the resistance of Edin Terzic's team. as proven, Dortmund overthrew Damstadt with a final score of 0-3. even though previously Dortmund were unable to get full points in the last 4 matches, at least this victory should be a momentum for Dortmund to continue winning match after match.

Apart from that, Terzic still has problems that he must overcome on his front lines. in this match, Niclas Fullkrug, who was relied on, was unable to score a goal. however, their two wingers played quite well. apart from Julian Brandt and Marco Reus who found the net for Damstadt, Youssaufa Moukoko also contributed in this match by scoring one goal. at least, that's good enough for him who is rarely given minutes of playing time and has never been the main starter in his 9 matches with Dortmund. in this match, it should be an opportunity for him to get more playing minutes. after all, the goal he scored was quite good. now Dortmund is only 3 points behind Leipzig, so there is a lot of homework for Terzic, especially to sharpen his pure striker in terms of scoring goals.
Next week, Dortmund will play an away match against Koln, they should be able to get three points considering that the two teams have a gap. meanwhile, Leipzig will play quite a tough match even though they are playing at their own headquarters when they host the match against Leverkusen. in essence, Edin Terzic's squad has not been able to show its best consistency. so, they still have to improve in order to return to their position in the top four of the Bundesliga standings.

I am also very confused about what Sevilla has experienced since last season until this season, because when Sevilla managed to get the European League trophy last season while their local league was not good enough it raised big questions. So it is quite possible that this is due to the departure of their old coach, Diego Alonso, and at the moment Sevilla seems to have really sunk to the point where it seems quite difficult to recover from their bad results so far.

IMO, there are many factors that cause this and one of them is that the Sevilla players are not playing well. Moreover, as far as I know, this team always relies on players aged 30+, some of whom are Rakitic, Sergio Ramos, Acuna, Jesus Navas and Nemaja. for some of the young players they have, they don't really stand out in their game, talent and skill. so it's natural, if the results are like what we see now.  If I can be honest, based on my personal point of view, the Europa League trophy that Sevilla won last season could not be separated from luck, they were lucky with an ugly win and were able to win the title in the Europa League competition. Coincidentally, their opponent in the final was AS Roma. at the same time, Sevilla was only able to finish in 12th place last season. this season, their performance has really underperformed. in fact, Sevilla has tried to replace three coaches. the fact is that they have not experienced an improvement in their performance or ranking on the standings, especially now that their position is in danger of dropping into the red zone. this shouldn't be a coach problem, in fact Sevilla has replaced 3 coaches in half a season, please correct me if I'm wrong. IMO, the problem is the players. in fact, Sevilla does not have sufficient player depth to be able to compete competitively.

Lens actually gave Paris Saint Germaine a good run for their money last season and were very close to winning the French league ahead of PSG but narrowly lost the battle to the eventual champions by just one point. This season, they've been a total shadow of the Lens team we saw last campaign and I don't even think they're gonna get into the top four of the French league at the end of the season.
Paris Saint Germaine are currently in a very impressive run and against Lens, I still expect them to win the game and grab all three points. The knockout stages of the UEFA champions league competition will kick off next month and Paris Saint Germaine are keen on further extending their lead at the top of the league table so that league games wouldn't be too important to them when the UEFA champions league competition returns in February.

Last season, one of the factors that made Lens perform quite well was because they didn't have a busy competition schedule. their focus is only on Ligue 1, so it's natural that they can always maximize their performance. in fact, they were able to overtake Marseille last season. this season Lens has to distribute its focus on several competitions, it seems that Lens is having a very difficult time performing with the same performance as last season. apart from several players leaving, the newcomers seem to need time to adapt. this season's competition started badly, but gradually their performance improved. at least, quite safe from the red zone and is now in 8th place. as for Paris Saint-Germani, they have played 13 matches without defeat after losing to Nice.

On paper, PSG is superior in this meeting which will be held tomorrow. this is natural, because PSG has much more competitive depth than Lens. but we'll see, when Lens play their match when they host PSG at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Lens' headquarters. at the very least, Haise is targeting a draw in this match. because to overthrow PSG currently with its quite impressive positive trend in Ligue 1, will be quite a difficult challenge for the home team. meanwhile for Luiz Enrique's squad, this victory is also important for them. at least, you have said one factor in this post..PSG will try as hard as possible to achieve every win in their domestic league so they can focus on the Champions League. moreover, in other matches, Nice lost to Rennes and Monaco also lost to Reims. full points will benefit PSG, to further widen the points gap with teams below their ranking.
