Strasbourg used to be better in the previous seasons and in the last one they ended 6th so it is normal to see some support for them. This season is a very bad one for Strasbourg and as said Ajaccio is a team that might be challenging, they won vs Marseille for example!
I am not surprised to see them winning but 4 goals vs Strasbourg.. that's too much and Strasbourg should seriously find another way to win or else they will relegate. They choose the worst and hardest season to play bad. 4 teams gonna relegate this season.
The difference that is quite striking is actually seeing the condition of Strasbourg this season because indeed they played very well last season and even troubled the club in the top 4 but this season they seem to have lost their game and this defeat clearly makes it increasingly difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone now because during the season this goes on they have only won once.

Barcelona disappointed their fans by saying goodbye to the Champions League, but they continued to fight for the title in La Liga and showed everyone that this season is not over for them. Actually, they don't give me enough confidence for my betting slips but they will be playing against a weak opponent tonight. I think they will be able to take the lead in the Spanish La Liga temporarily by winning tonight...
That's over and it's actually not very useful to continue discussing it because they have now been thrown into the Europa League and have to focus on this.
As for the current match, their dominance still looks as usual but Fernando is still playing very well as Almeria's last bastion even though he has to be busy with Barcelona's many chances in this first half.

This season, Ten Hag was so disciplined in overhauling the players from Manchester United that he did not even hesitate to come into conflict with the players, one of which was Ronaldo.
But this is a good thing in my opinion because indeed by this it is clear that he has shown he has the capacity for it and he as a coach has absolute decisions for his team now.
The result was not too bad, amid criticism about Manchester United's performance in fact they can be in the top 5 now.
I think it os high time we leave Ronaldo to rest in peace since the coach have decided to undermine a big player like CRS7, Manchester United needed top players like CRS who have worked so hard to buold Manchester United to were the club is today after tge club lost all it reputation and positions previously.
Now there is a slight difference I think, after a personal conversation between Ten Hag and Ronaldo some time ago, now he has been given back his place in the team and of course this indicates that now their relationship is starting to improve after a while ago had a fight.

On the other hand, even though Ronaldo is almost at the end of his prime, but he is still an important part in my opinion, at least many Manchester United youths still have hope that Ronaldo will guide them.

Well that's right, strategy is the key in every match. If we flash back when Barcelona didn't win against Inter or other top teams, Barcelona team's ball possession was higher rather than other teams. They can always control the match but they are unlucky to take their chances to score, midfielders are strong but their defense is often inconsistent, Xavi's strategy against top teams focus too much on attack.
The problem from them is also sometimes it's always difficult to maximize the chances lately especially after some of their players are injured their chances are pretty much wasted.
I think this should be resolved soon but it looks like for the players now it won't be too much of a problem because the injured are also slowly recovering even though some are still undergoing treatment. Xavi now has to start by creating some backup schemes so that when their plans are read in a game he won't have to worry too much about being able to implement a backup plan.

I don't think that there is such option for Barcelona like not caring about the Europa League this season. They didn't care about it too much in the previous season because they weren't in need of a huge amount of money. But now they need to make money from every opportunity. Maybe the incomes aren't as big as the Champions League there but Barcelona had better fight for even the title to earn as much money as possible. They have made many signings by spending a lot of money.

Xavi can still focus on the La Liga title first. But he shouldn't just put the Europa League aside. They are technically one of the biggest contenders for the title. If they make a similar effort to the one in the La Liga then they can surely win the title also.
It is precisely because they need money that they have to win the current competition to make up for their loss in failing in the Champions League.
On the other hand there is a threat from La Porta now because when Xavi can't get a trophy this season then he has to say goodbye to Barclona because it looks like La Porta don't expect them to fast for titles again now so they have to work hard to get at least one trophy there.

Opponents who are not too heavy of course do not mean they have to lower their defensive tension. Besides taking advantage of the situation, I think Erik Ten Hag started building the Red Devils squad with all his heart. He's very disciplined and if he can put in top form over the next few games we'll be delighted to see how much Man United has improved under Erik Ten Hag's hands this season.
This season, Ten Hag was so disciplined in overhauling the players from Manchester United that he did not even hesitate to come into conflict with the players, one of which was Ronaldo.
But this is a good thing in my opinion because indeed by this it is clear that he has shown he has the capacity for it and he as a coach has absolute decisions for his team now.

The performance of Messi has been better than last season no doubt but I don't fancy the idea of comparing his performance with Ronaldo's since they have been outstanding for the past decades, Messi is a good player same with Ronaldo, and we have seen their ability in terms of individual achievements and goal scoring records so right now I think seeing both of them still shine at old age means they have gathered so many experiences and they just need to keep imparting to the younger players till they will say goodbye to playing football game. Ronaldo is having a bad season with Manchester United because the United boss thinks he's no longer able to be in his first team and at such his playing times has been a few minutes so we can't compare that to Messi is always a regular starter for PSG and he's got players that plays and understand his kind of football.
It's not very ethical to compare them with club conditions and conditions in different leagues I think.
Apart from that they actually don't need to be compared for now because they have their respective advantages and disadvantages and what needs to be remembered is that they are currently goats and until now no one has matched their record so they don't really care about the comparison they keep playing as usual they do it is enough I think.
Messi is now doing very well at PSG and that's more than enough for me at his age.

So Gerard Pique announced officially that he will retire this weekend after Barcelona - Almeria match at the age of 35. I might not understand it well what he meant by the last game in Camp Nou since Barcelona will have another game Tuesday tho away but whatever the exact date, he decided to take a break as a professional player.
Source
Yep, I saw this video on social media some time ago and indeed this seems to be the end of Pique in his professional career as a football player. In the video he also says that indeed he has been at Barcelona for 25 years and of course this is not a short time so it is quite emotional even though in these few seasons there have been some problems for him and Barcelona especially the officials but indeed he deserves to be one of the legends Barcelona.

The contribution that already made by messi to the PSG was so big. So many clubs are seeing it as opportunity even though his age is not young anymore. That's why some clubs have been declared if they might be interested if messi will be leaving from PSG with free transfer status.
Barcelona has no more solution for funding. It has been facing financial problem and it will not able to bring back messi to the camp nou. the chance is very small to make it happen. Barcelona has been selling lots of its shares to buy players last season
Barcelona has nothing to be sold for the upcoming season. that's why barcelona is only looking for cheap players. messi has a very expensive salary.
You're right, especially for now Messi doesn't show the slightest interest in returning to Barcelona. Regardless of the background be it financial or not but I appreciate what Messi does. He has the right to determine his club at the end of the world cup later. As a club that has benefited a lot from the presence of Messi, PSG will definitely insist on offering anything and with an increase in salary so that Messi can stay. Big clubs still believe that Messi's age is not a barrier for them to continue to ask for it.
Actually the rumors about Messi returning to Barcelona are only based on the statement of the president of the Barcelona club who said that they always open the door for Messi and this was followed by some words of other former football players such as Fabregas and Zabaleta but this is only one-sided and Messi is silent about it.
PSG have prepared a new contract option now but messi's focus is still quite clear with the world cup and I don't think this will be finished until the world cup rolls around.

Lorient - PSG is a candidate to be one of the most interesting matches of this match week I believe.

I'm aware that PSG are strongly favoured for the win and there is no surprising thing about this. PSG are like this against the rest of the teams in the league in the end. There is a huge gap. However Lorient have an interesting head-to-head history against them in the recent times. Lorient didn't lose to them in their last two meets and won even one of them also. Now they are having even a much more solid season compared to those times. Besides PSG are going to be playing that match after facing Juventus in Italy. Maybe the result of that match could affect their mental also. All in all, I want to give both teams to score a try for this match. 1.75 is a decent odd to make use of.
Lorient's 3 matches did not go well before because indeed they had to be held to a draw by Reims and Troyes and had to lose to Nice which sent them tumbling to 4th position.
Maybe even this match will be like that because looking at PSG's current condition, it is clearly very different and far from their level.
I think a draw should be maintained for Lorient in this match because to chase a win is obviously quite difficult.

I saw a big change happening at Manchester United, especially in the player Lisandro Martinez, the arrival of this player seemed to show again the quality of Manchester United's defense. This one player is not only strong in blocking the ball in the penalty box area, but also tough when winning duels in the air. This season the Manchester United players have almost completely developed from before, although Harry Maguire has not been able to show promising quality, but in the match against West Ham United he is getting better, despite several defeats and losing concentration.

In the midfield the duo of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are more promising, they are able to present a game that is more effective in setting the rhythm, so the match looks interesting and not boring. Manchester United's current weakness is in the strikers, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal-scoring instincts have not been maximized plus the lack of playing time given by the coach, while Rashford is much more developed than the previous season and so far Rashford has scored 100 goals with Manchester United.
Martinez's performance is getting more and more integrated with Manchester United and with him at least Manchester United's defense is much better than before, especially when he was duet with Varane.
As for Maguire, he is still the same as the previous season and indeed he is very difficult to improve, especially at this time the hope of him playing more seems a bit difficult to do considering that currently Ten Hag prioritizes players who are better in performance than price.

I also read about this some time ago and it is reported that now Ancelotti thinks that Gabriel is the ideal replacement for Benzema.
Last season they were blocked because of Passport issues but at the moment I don't think this is easy either because Gabriel is still Arteta's main focus at the moment.

Not only that, Gabriel Jesus still has a contract until 2027 at Arsenal and to take Gabriel Jesus I think Real Madrid also need a lot of money. Instead of taking Gabriel Jesus, I think there is nothing wrong for Real Madrid to keep the priority to sign Mbappe. Because if the reason is still disappointed because of what happened at that time, I think the problem will be solved because this is a long-term project for Real Madrid. Considering the age of Mbappe who is two years younger than Gabriel Jesus, then I think Real Madrid should continue to monitor to get Mbappe when the opportunity arises.
I personally don't have high hopes for Mbappe in this regard because last season it should have been a done deal but seeing as he prefers more money than he thinks there's really no reason for Perez to keep whining about this player not to mention he's definitely going to be more expensive in this case considering that his contract still has approximately 3 years remaining.
But a few weeks ago I also read that Madrid were looking at the potential of LOSC youngster Jonathan David, but this is still a rumor.

Real Madrid will have to replace Benzema but that player might be another one, not Mbappe

I read in the local media if Anceloti was interested in Gabriel Jesus. Since leaving Man City Jesus has performed very convincingly. Anceloti reportedly ranked Jesus as the number one buy in the transfer market this winter. He's 25 years old, I think it was a good moment. They had a long time for Jesus. I think it will benefit Madrid in finances. Hoping with Mbappe is difficult, PSG have made an expensive clause for him. So I don't think Madrid need to expect him anymore.

Barcelona cannot be said to be a strong team after what happened to them in the Champions League this season and also they have problems with the depth of their squad which still has to find it difficult when their mainstay players are not available. Real Madrid are certainly better than Barcelona, but that doesn't mean they don't have problems with the team. One of the obvious problems now is that their forward line lacks players to replace Benzema when he is out of action. And that's what we see in this week's match which caused them to lose 3 points after being held to a draw by Girona. Carlo Ancelotti must look for players who can fill the void in Benzema's position in the upcoming transfer market to be able to keep the depth of their squad even stronger.
Not qualifying does not mean they are not strong in my opinion because there are some conditions where they are not really in the lead in the Champions League.
On the other hand they are still a threat to Madrid at the moment regardless of what they did in the Champions League this doesn't change the fact that they are still a pretty real contender for Madrid in La Liga.
655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 31, 2022, 05:19:32 PM
Barcelona don't need only Messi to make the squad tough. If Messi comes to Barcelona and other players are not strong in performance the team will still not be productive.  Barcelona still have good players but they still not know how to be productive.  Football is about team work and not just for only one man.
Let's see what will be doing by laporta. As far as i know there are some clubs were also interesting to sign messi if he will be leaving from PSG with free transfer. These clubs are intermiami and manchester city. I don't know if the list of club that shown interest will be increasing with the goes of time. Messi has been under radar by barcelona but xavi will decide that whether barcelona will try to bring back him or not.
There are so many rumours but these can be proven only during the next transfer season. I would like to see messi goes to the city rather than back to the barcelona.
Back again the choice to Messi? This is so ridiculous Grin
At least they need to be realistic even though Messi is an icon and a Barcelona legend but at his current age and the price is still very expensive and of course his salary is clear Barcelona must be aware of their financial condition.
At this time they even have to be demanded to reduce the salary of players what is expected by bringing Messi back because even if his performance can become more colorful again, their financial condition will be disastrous.

indeed every game there is always something unexpected that happens in every season even Newcastle united may be beyond the expectations of many people for their performance this season, how not until the 13th mathday newcastle united is able to rank in the top 4 this season. of course this is their best performance after being acquired by mohammad bin salman newcastle united to become the richest team in the EPL. but that's not the importance that we deserve to discuss but the reshuffle in the last summer window was quite successful what Eddie Howe did, he was able to polish the newscatle united squad very strongly this season. wilson, Almiron they are two players who are able to make a big contribution to the performance of newcastle united.
Actually for Newcastle I still feel this is normal for them.
With the strength of their current flow of money, it is clear they are unlikely to just settle for being at the bottom as usual even though their increase is beyond expectations.
I personally feel at first they will still fill the middle standings this season but I was wrong it seems because with their current condition of course the dark horse title deserves to be pinned for them.

Lyon vs LOSC today's match between these two teams I thought LOSC will play very well in this match but LOSC did not play very well in this match. Lyon scored a goal at the end of the match.  After that no more goals were scored in this match. However, in this match Lyon played a very good game from the beginning.

I don't agree with you. Lille's performance was better than Lyon's in this match. Although Lille did not manage to win this match, I would still say that Lille's performance was good. Lille has a lot of attacks. Lyon's players on the other hand only resisted Lille's attacks and tried to score from counterattacks. And Lyon's players succeeded. They won the match with defensive gameplay. I would say Lyon was very lucky.
In this case, I agree because from any point of view, Lille actually looks a bit more dominating, but they did take advantage of Lyon's counter-attack and Lacazette scored a goal for them.
No matter how much in this match Lille created chances but indeed Lyon's players were much more disciplined so they could get this narrow win and hold on to the lead.

Lyon are facing lille team right now its half time and the visitors seem to be in control of the game lille team was dangerous and had six goal attempts and they were so close to scoring, lyon players are still performing poorly and if they continue like this they will lose the game today.
The game is almost over and it looks like it will be a win for Lyon over a goal scored by Lacazette in the 74th minute.
Lille played quite well but there are still some mistakes they made, otherwise in this match it looks like Lyon just want to wait for the mistakes made by Lille because they didn't play too much of the ball but this result is of course enough for them to secure the points.

Arsenal didn't surprise anyone and met the expectations by far. This huge 5-0 win was very satisfying for them after a point loss against Southampton. However Gabriel Jesus has been silent so far. This is his fourth match in a row in the league that he doesn't score any goal. He still made a solid contribution with 2 assists in this match maybe. But Arsenal need him to start scoring also. Not all the matches will be this comfortable in the end. They will need him those times.

Arsenal are still unbeaten against weaker teams and it looks like this will go on like this for a long time. However their problem seemed to be in away matches against strong teams. They lost to Manchester United for example and their performance wasn't satisfying at all. Arteta will need to focus on winning those matches also as it is their weakness.

Apparently Manchester City will have a rival in the Champions race this year in the form of Arsenal, who to me have a better chance of winning the league than City. It's too early to say, of course, but it's all leading up to that. The fact that Jesus is not scoring I think is a matter of time, perhaps a period of drought, it is just as emotionally difficult for the player, he just needs to get over it
Arsenal from the start of this season have played very well and of course this can be a strong enough rival until the next half of the season.
But indeed there is little real difference with Arsenal because they metamorphosed from the clown team a few seasons before.
Now their young players are really doing really well and this makes them very different because apart from now they can compete they also have progress for their young players.

I am sure almost everyone thinks that Brighton will lose because they play very badly lately 4 matches without wins even 3 of them lost
But we know this is a Premier League competition anything can happen this is one moment to prove there is no weak team except the unlucky team  Cheesy

And yes we are still monitoring Newcastle somehow this team suddenly became a solid and strong team even though there are no famous players there.
I assume that even made a bet on Chelsea but was surprised to have to lose to a team that had played less well throughout 4 matches, but it's also true that the English league team is difficult for us to underestimate the proof they can win with Chelsea which we expect it will be a defeat for Brighton again.

Even though Newcastle don't buy too many famous players and they can only with their share of players now Newcastle is more solid than other big teams this is probably because thanks to the coach who always educates players to be more solid so they can stay in the top 4 to remain rivals with other teams.
I was sure Chelsea was going to win the match against Brighton because of their recent form in both the Champions League and Premier League. I was also convinced that Coach Graham Potter was the missing link to Chelsea's success but Brighton surprised me. There was no reason for Chelsea's loss, the only explanation is that it was not Chelsea's day.

Newcastle United has proved that expensive or famous players don't guarantee successful or winning team and sometimes cheap or unknown players can bring glory to the team.
In the end they became clowns because Potter really couldn't apply his schemes well in this match.
Brighton knew what they had to do against Chelsea and in the end they could really make the game go the way they wanted.
For Newacastle they have continued to make good strides and now they are in the top 4.
