Why should it be in the top 3? because being in the top 4 or 4 is enough for Manchester United, which of course can get another UCL ticket next season. Also, rivals Manchester United in the current standings or the teams below are not strong enough to be able to compete for much longer. Manchester United now have a better squad which of course they will be able to maintain this moment to keep their position safe, I wonder why Manchester United have to finish in the top 3 what is the reason?
Many things can happen until the end so that Manchester United might either finish this season in the third or fourth position. We can not conclude about it too soon but you have good points that most of us know. Manchester United have wasted so many points and opportunities as well as been conceded many goals stupidly. Therefore, they will have to keep fighting and have to hope that other opponents will make stupid faults from now on as well.

Temporarily, they have been in the fourth position but it is not a solid achievement because Arsenal and Tottenham can win their un-played matches. They can not only hope others will have slip in performance but they by themselves have to work hard from training to playing in real matches.

Atletico Madrid have lost to a team in the relegation zone. We can easily understand the condition of their team now. Levante is a team that has won just one match before this match, and this is their second win. Atletico Madrid will not be in the top 4 of the points table unless their formidable performance improves. Because Real Sociedad is playing well enough now. They will very quickly move to fourth place on the table.
Atletico Madrid will need to work very hard and improve their performance because Barcelona are back and seriously affect a change to be in top 4 of Atletico Madrid. Both of them are not too stable with their performance so it has yet been a win for Barcelona or a failure for Atletico Madrid. They both will have to keep fighting very seriously and have to collect each point they can. Any waste of points will cause to unhappy ending because the top 4 competition is so tough in this season.

Not only Barcelona but other clubs can beat Atletico Madrid in top 4 competition too.

Juventus are going to play against Torino in a home match in two days. And I strongly think that Juventus are going to be the victor at the end of this match. Juventus are a far stronger team than Torino now.
Juventus must win because it looks to be an easy round for big clubs. Only Inter Milan have a bit tough challenge from Sassuolo so it will be another round for AC Milan to keep their first position and if lucky enough, can expand the difference against Inter Milan. Juventus must win because Atalanta and AS Roma will have good opponents that can be not too hard for them to win and collect 3 points.

Quote
And after drawing with Atalanta last, they would like to continue to win again by this match. They have a good history against Torino. And Juventus are much stronger in their attacking side with the new transfers. Besides, there is a Fiorentina v Atalanta match this week too. If Atalanta stumbles here, Juventus will have the chance to increase the gap with them.
Torino don't have same quality as Atalanta so Juventus will have bigger chance to win but in football, no guarantee to win if your opponent is a small team. If they fight seriously and have enough luck, they can beat giants. Will Torino have Belotti for this match? He is a biggest hope for Torino as their main striker.

The loss to PSG is definitely going to bring doubts on moral to the Madrid team,and maybe if care is not taken,they may loose their next league game.
I don't think Real Madrid will collapse because of this loss. They still do have good chance in a second match against PSG in their home stadium. The match with PSG shows that Real Madrid still are a big club especially in Champions League. They don't break under pressure and know how to restrict power of PSG as much as possible. Their defenders, Alaba and Militao played very well and shown that they are very good replacements for Ramos and Varane. With them, Real Madrid are in their race to La Liga trophy and in Champions League, let's see how will they performance against PSG.

Quote
Consistency is all they need now in the league,and every game they play needs to be taken seriously bacause there is no hope in the champions league tittle.

I believe the league tittle is there own this season if they remain consistent.
Real Madrid have a best consistency in La Liga this season and they have players who can score winning goals. They rely on Benzema for goals but without him, they managed to win in many matches and it is very important to take a trophy.

PSG's performance yesterday was not convincing. But neither was Real's. Overall, the game was disappointing and PSG won happily but deservedly in the end. Real had no real chance, especially the first half was really lame. You should expect more from such a top match. Nevertheless, after the abolition of the away goals rule, everything is still open for Real, although they have to offer a much better performance in the second leg to have a chance of advancing.
They control the match but defense system of Madrid works well to prevent PSG to score. It is also a very good match from Courtouis and even it is a win for PSG, it is not convincing and there are big change for Madrid to beat PSG in aggregated result in Bernabeu.

1 goal does not mean much and Real Madrid just have to beat PSG with 2 goal difference to go next. A good advantage from this win is PSG did not know how to win in big match and manage to prevent Real Madrid to score goals. Prevent Madrid attacking players in the home-away match will be important for PSG to win this pair eventually. Mbappe proves that he is a player of big matches and it is enough to convince Madrid and Perez to buy him. Will PSG be able to beat Real Madrid, then go towards the Championship and convince Mbappe to sign a new contract?

It is a double task for PSG in the second match in Madrid.

Basically Ronaldo is a good player, it's just that the mismatch with strategy and also the many players who rely on individual skills at least makes Ronaldo's performance decrease slightly due to lack of support. Yes, I have said before that Manchester United's gameplay in the first half was very boring, it can be said that Rangnick tried to find a way by letting his team play badly at the beginning. Implementing a strategy like this will be very dangerous against a better team, I really don't think Rangnick can take advantage of the good players that Manchester United has.
Ronaldo now still try to use his speed in counter attacks of Manchester United. Even he is now old, his speed is well better than many players but he has to save his energy and only uses it in situation he see open space. So I sympathize with him in such situations when in the end he does not receive key passes from his mates.

If Manchester United can have more players with great vision and accurate passes like Bruno, they can use Ronaldo better. Sancho, Rashford, Greenwood does not have good vision.

I watched this match till the first half. Manchester United had a very annoying performance. Brighton had some good attacks in the first half. Manchester United would not have been able to win without an experienced talented goalkeeper like De Gea. De Gea saved a lot in this match. But I am happy because after a long time we have seen goals from Ronaldo. He played well. If he returns to form, maybe Manchester United will do better in the upcoming matches.
Ragnick admitted it the press conference after the match. Manchester United tried and eventually won to get 3 points but their issues are still there. If they hadn't have De Gea with amazing saves, they would have not won it. They were under pressure and faced with risk to lose 2 points. In addition, they missed some great opportunities to score a second goal, from Sancho, Ronaldo to Bruno before the very late final goal of Bruno. In previous matches, they had bad rate to change from great opportunities to goals and in the end, they ended with less than 3 points. They did not fix it in the last match.
2868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: February 16, 2022, 08:28:08 AM
They are now in 4th position with 43 points and 25 played games. It is not safe position because the other teams (Arsenal and Tottenham) has few 3 more matches. If Both Arsenal and Tottenham win all the 3 matches, Arsenal will be on 4th with 48 points and Tottenham will be on 5th with 45 points. The only way for United to finish in top 4 by the end of the season is by maximizing all the remaining matches and hope the other teams (Arsenal, Tottenham, Westham, and Wolves) lose bigger points than United.
A temporary 4th position is better than nothing but there is challenge for them from Arsenal and Tottenham because with 3 matches in hands, they can surpass Manchester United if they can get maximum points from those matches. It is not what Manchester United can control so they have to ignore it and focus on themselves to get as best results as possible. The rest will belong to their opponents so let it be.

Now that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a goal, the newspapers are once again saying that he is the hero of Man Untied. He's always been a great player, but he can't do it all alone. Today, once again, he showed that he wanted to give everything on the field for the victory, managing to score a goal. The rest of the team has to have the same attitude, do everything to win.

We hope that this victory will give the team the necessary motivation, to start to recover their spirits and start playing better games. We'll see.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very professional and ambitious but it sometimes brings troubles for his relationship with other players. In the match, we see how he shown his disappointment with his team-mates when they did not pass the ball to him or missed opportunities from his key passes.

Anyway, he is professional and made a few great passes to his mates. In addition, he tried to contribute to the defense system when Manchester United faced with pressure and risk to be equalized. Even in the second goal scored by Bruno, Ronaldo still tried to run as fastest as possible and somewhat disappointed when Bruno did not make a pass to him. Eventually, Bruno scored a goal which finalizes the match. 1 goal for Ronaldo and 3 points for Manchester United, they are back.

Harry Maguire who I saw was very weak defensively he often had a few mistakes but made it easy for opponents to pass him he really wasn't in the best of what I saw.
Bringhton had a pretty lucky match, if they met this week then Man United should be able to evaluate their strategy even I saw on Twitter a tweet from Ronaldo saying that Rangnick is a coach who doesn't have the ability, which means Rangnick still  do this to such a good player at Manchester United.
Harry Maguire is not a good defender. In the past, years ago, Mourinho pointed out weakness of Maguire and he does not want to have Maguire for his defense system. Despite of some good effects he brought to Old Trafford in his first 2 seasons there, now his weakness has been shown clearly.

However, I don't think it is fair for him to forget all good contributions he made in Old Trafford. Last 2 seasons, without Maguire, Manchester United should have more conceded goals. His performance only decreases dramatically after the Euro 2020. I don't know why he lost his performance terribly like this. Anyway I agree with people about his weakness.

Barcelona is now shifting Atletico in the standings. Seeing what both clubs are doing, they are still trying to show improvement and don't want to give up. To be honest, so far I'm happy to see Barcelona showing a bit of a revival. So there are still many opportunities that must be utilized properly to continue to reduce the gap with Real Betis. Because the Betis club had a pretty dangerous game, which at that time was difficult for Sevilla to equalize.
Not only about temporary standings but also about the decreasing performance of Athletico Madrid and the rising performance of Barcelona are oppositely. I still very humble to say Barcelona will maintain their performance till the end because their players are not good like in the past. Dani Alves and Xavi come and brought some good effects. However Dani is already very old and I don't expect too much from him for Barcelona. He is professional but Barcelona must play well without him in order to achieve something like a position in top 4 of La Liga.

Athletico seems to have uncontrolled season but it is still not too late for them. They will still have enough matches and time to return and beat Barcelona or a few other clubs in order to complete in top 4 which still is a failure for them as a champions.

But Twitter or Reddit may help you, mk4 is right, following such investment firms or venture capitalists may help you but not guaranteed. Just be careful, some of VCs are just making money on the retails where sometimes they already dumping while you are entering.
VCs have secret deals with very low price than retail investors. It is very common and if you notice you will see that some tokens were dumped seriously after vesting periods of VCs expired. VCs will shill tokens they invested in to retail investors after they already bought and finished their secret deals with project teams.

If you are in crypto market long enough, you will not like signal groups and dependence on others for your investment decision. You can be right or wrong but be yourself and make your investment from your research. It is not good habit to rely on others for financial investment. You will not be able to determine where to enter or exit and when to do it. In long run, it is bad because you can not grow up and get matured in the market.

Rennes did their best against Paris Saint-Germain and the result was quite satisfying for me who placed a handicap bet for Rennes, the match was held at the Parc des Princes and the main players of Paris Saint-Germain were revealed. At first I was convinced to choose Rennes in the handicap bet because I thought Paris Saint-Germain would play other players besides Mbappe or Messi because they should keep players fit for their Champions League match against Real Madrid, but they still played the main players with a bad match result for them.
Rennes almost could earn 1 point from PSG but PSG have enough star players to decide that match even it is a very late goal. I noticed that Messi did not pass the ball to Icardi and is his relationship with Icardi still bad like it is in Argentina nation team? I think in that situation, Icardi is in a better area to receive a key pass from Messi. It seems that Mbappe needs luck to score that goal because the opened edge for him to make a shot is not too big.

The coming match with Real Madrid will be very important for PSG and Messi. There is leaked news that PSG players show excitement and happy when they know the opponent will be Real Madrid. Even Ramos feels shock about how his new team mates react. Now it is time for them to show their strength and beat Real Madrid.

Bitcoin is better than fiat because
- It is decentralized
- It allows people to make peer to peer trades
- It has only 21 million in total supply which is unchangeable
However if you extrapolate from Bitcoin to cryptocurrency, it can be inaccurate. Crypto market has inflation with altcoins that in turn have inflationary supply as well.

If you see inflationary specification from fiat, you should choose Bitcoin, not altcoins.
2876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My Altcoin experience and Lessons on: February 11, 2022, 03:16:33 PM
With altcoins, you will face with many risks
- Many altcoins are pump and dump coins
- Altcoins mostly are shit coins
- Altcoins mostly have infinite total supply so they are inflationary like fiats
If you invest in shit altcoins, you will get serious loses and worst your portfolio will be fired and vanished if their values fall to zero.
For good altcoins which can rise in values, you can get profit in USD but in BTC values, you will get loses. They can increase in USD value but in BTC value, they have dramatic falls.

Liverpool are more defensively strong than Man United I wouldn't equal but it's more above Burnley maybe it's easier to win for Liverpool.
How not strong on the front lines, Salah, Mane, Jota being the execution of deadly opposition then Klopp won't be surprised if these 3 attackers can redeem their opponents with good goals, I saw that Salah almost put him in but it went blunder and hit the post twice.
Liverpool are stronger than Manchester United in both attacking and defense. Manchester United have some world class players but in general and as a whole team, they are worse than Liverpool in both systems.

Salah and Mane just came back from Africa tournament so they might not be too ready physically and need a bit more time to recover their full fitness. However, even so I believe that Liverpool will still be able to play better than Manchester United because their mental is better and more important, their system operates more smoothly than that of Manchester United.

Atalanta performance has dropped, they now find it really hard to win in their matches. But, that doesn't guarantee that Juventus might win the game. It probably Atalanta's home match, and they will surely struggle not to lose. Although, Juventus form lately are quite impressive.
Atalanta are similar to AC Milan, Napoli and AS Roma. They all have long bad times in this season which affect their targets. Napoli and Atalanta will have to play very carefully if they want to be in top 4 in the end. AC Milan will have to collect as many points as possible because there will no longer more acceptable matches for them to lose points. Inter Milan are already far away from AC Milan.

Juventus' hard work in the transfer market has been answered and they have gotten pretty good results in the previous 2 matches in Serie A and also the Copa Italia. This week against Atlanta is a pretty important match because Juventus are only 2 points ahead of Atlanta which could shift Juventus' position if they fail to win, especially since Atlanta still has one more game at the moment than Juventus. Can Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic continue his brilliant performance after scoring 2 goals in two consecutive matches?
Juventus returned to top 4 competition last 2 months and after the transfer season, they have 2 good transfers which do support them in the rest of season. It's hard and almost impossible for them to challenge Inter and win Scudetto but top 4, they are in and on the right track to protect it till the end.

Vlahovic brings goals and good effects for Juventus. With him, both Morata and Dybala can play in positions they like. Morata is a striker who has wide playing range and Dybala is more keen on forward position. With Vlahovic, Morata won't have pressure to score goals and he can play better with more space.

When a mediocre team can win the title I think at the same time the rival teams or the big favorite teams may not be in great shape and form, so they can take advantage of the moment. But here in the Bundesliga, do we ever get Bayern Munich really down on a lot of factors, I think that's very rare for Bayern Munich during their successive title holders. Bayern Munich is too solid in every way and in fact, Bayern Munich is not only king in the Bundesliga because Bayern Munich has always been a formidable team in the UCL event. This proves that it is difficult to knock Bayern Munich off its throne in the Bundesliga.
If Bayern lose Bundesliga title, there are two very rare condition must happen.
- Bayern have very worse season which does not occur too often
- Bayern opponent (winner of Bundesliga) must suddenly have a very outstanding season which does not occur too often.

So in most of seasons, Bayern are the club which take Bundesliga title, not others. Furthermore, they have very healthy finance so that they always have big budget for transfer to remake their team as well as to fix any hole in their team. It does not take more than 2 seasons for Bayern to rebuild their team or fix any weak hole.

That is what Coutinho does best. Sure I was delighted with the goal and his double assists but when he’s creating like he was in the first half that’s what his game is all about. Honestly it is good to see him performing well again in the Premier League after flopping badly in La Liga. He’s found his comfort zone again.
Coutinho has had good time in Aston Villa so far but it is too soon to say that he really returns to his best form. For players like Coutinho, they mostly can not get back their their best performance before days they fell into troubles and lost their forms.

Many cases such as Kaka, Shevchenko, Torres, Falcao, Griezman. They can have some shining matches but they all become normal or just a little bit above average players. They never return to be star players like they are used to be.

Quote
Aston Villa buying Coutinho would be the perfect deal for all parties. Great for Barcelona, great for Coutinho, great for Aston Villa as well. Everyone wins. I’m not a Villa fan but I’m very impressed with the squad, they are still linking up and when they finally bond, Steven Gerrard will have a very good team. Although they probably should have left with 3 points.
Gerrard is doing his management very well in Aston Villa and football is in amazing time when former team-mates now became coach and player in a same team. There is rumor that Rooney will take over the coach position in Manchester United. Will he become a coach of Cristiano Ronaldo?  Grin
