If judge from the performance of Tuchel and the players when competing, it is very clear that Bayern Munich is definitely capable of winning the title, after all, Bayern Munich is also team that cannot be predicted because they can give very interesting surprises.
As long as Kane can still perform optimally then that is more than enough in the fight for the title, he has been the player with the top scorer for while and of course from this it can be proven that Bayern Munich has many supporting aspects to get one of these titles.
It just that in conditions like this, Tuchel has to be bothered by having several players who have to defend their country and this will be challenge for Tuchel because he has to be able to keep Bayern Munich performing stably in crisis condition for the main players.
However, I still believe that Tuchel will be able to get through all of this and Bayern Munich will definitely remain stable and consistent in strength in every match they will play.
Tuchel is great coach who is quite experienced and he knows what to do to deal with every situation and condition that is occurring within his squad.
Well, I think you're right, despite the fact that Leverkusen are still the league leaders and gaping Bayern with about 4 points, I think Bayern Munich really stand a very good chance of winning the league title, the gap is not very wide and any slip in points from Leverkusen would close the gap and giving them more chances going up the standings. Last season,  Dortmund had Almost won the league, they did really good like Leverkusen but Bayern Munich won at the last game of the season, therefore history could still repeat itself.

 Bayern Munich is a big club, one of the biggest in Europe and they've been dominating the Bundesliga for years, they know what losing the title means, and I believe Tuchel would be working very hard to make sure his team gets to the very top of the standings.

The reason totally non sense to sack him caused by roma was getting bad result int he previous matches. Roma was able performing even better caused by mourinho and im losing all of my confidence on roma caused by this.
Mourinho was far better compared to the rossi. If roma is willing to change the coach, then the club can do that at the end of season. Club can at very least give mourinho a half of the season to complete all of his target at the early of season.
Roma can't do this without him. Im really sure that if rossi will be failed even though if this is just a transition for roma. Who is a good coach that can hired by roma?

The club is not even giving permission for the coach to spend money to buy the good players. It is a rare occurrence to come across a world-class coach who would be willing to undertake the same actions as Mourinho did. Roma gave him very limited budget and this is the main problem.
The management put a very high expectation without even willing to spend some money to help him to rebuild the club. Roma is once again making another mistake by kick him out.
I strongly disagree with it but this is what the management wanted and they have sacked him. There will be no chance for roma to take him again.
Roma really made a poor decision on axing Jose; because I don’t think he was in any case the problem of the team. Well for a coach to attain success he needs to make crucial signings and probably this was what he lacked. He achieved success with them in his first season and in the second, took them to an European final; this alone is huge and worthy of commendation. Now they’ve gotten there old player back to head the team; funny because I think he won’t even be able to achieve half of what Jose has achieved in this team.

 Jose Mourinho is still a top class manager and I know so many teams will be gunning so good for him. There's rumours that some Man United fans, wants Ten Hag out, and for ETH to be kicked out. But will he remain in Europe or get a move to Saudi? That’s the big question.

Results from the match

Burkina Faso (1) Vs (0) Mauritania
Tunisia (0) Vs (1) Namibia
Mali(2) Vs (0)South-Africa

Observation
1. Somehow, I am happy that I didn't bet on this game. I would have lost. I underrated Mauritania. They played very fine football beyond my expectation. I am vex with the defender who was the caused of the penalty. And that is how that mistake caused them to concede a goal. I intend to bring up a conversation with this statement. The find the use of VAR in the matched to be too much. Is there anyone who have noticed this?

2. Again if I had bet on the second game, my predictions would have been absolutely wrong. Congratulations to Namibia a very much underrated team in this tournament. Tunisia would have been so pained. The goal keeper and the entire team gave them a run for their money.

3. The South-African match would also been a wrong prediction. I am amazed and wowed by these results. South-Africa has a good team but lacked team work. They have the potentials to progress and if they are not in the semi-finals it would be a big blow to them. 

In conclusion, corruption and godfatherism is eliminated from most African country football teams we would have teams that would be as good as team in countries in Europe, the Americas and other continents.
Well it’s no longer news the AFCON has kicked off and the best and safest bet for AFCON is under 3.5 goals. Mauritania are a good side and could match Burkina Faso who were a good side some years back but can’t say for now. So the result from that game which was a result of penalty is quite fair and alright. Namibia have their win and we must congratulate them for this whilst they move onto the next.

 A mind blowing result was that of South Africa, I think the team is pretty good but they don’t work as a team rather they show individual talents and this is a setback to the team. Well in General, I’ll say African Football is quite improving but there’s still much work to be done especially to the leaders because corruption is still the main problem and if that’s eradicated then I think African Teams will be sure better teams.

 Manchester City who are back in shape already and are ready to match on Liverpool for the league. Liverpool also have their players complete and fit for this competition. Well I think the rivalry will be fierce and any slip from any team is a success or boost for the other team. Therefore both would be very careful not to drop any points.

 Arsenal and Tottenham could probably join them in the top 4 but I think we shouldn’t write off Villa yet though. Manchester City’s defense can still be relied on though they made some silly errors against Newcastle, so I think the defense line have to be very focused and serious while playing to avoid these situations. Well Arsenal will have to be consistent to be in the top 4 with Villa or Tottenham as this will be real tough and this is what makes The EPL quite interesting.

This will be a bad blow to Everton performance this season because if a second penalty is imposed (deduction of 10) for Everton this season of course they will drop into the relegation zone. Moreover, Everton recent performance has not improved much, of course it will really affect the mentality of Dyche men if they are proven guilty and are sentenced to a point deduction again. Previously, there was a lot of news circulating that Manchester City also violated many rules, but only Everton were sanctioned this season. I think the authorities in the Premier League don't have enough strong evidence to impose punishment on Manchester City.

But for the time being, the second punishment for Everton has not yet been proven strongly if they violated financial regulations and is still under investigation. I hope Everton can escape accusations of violations because Everton is a team with many good players this season so they will be able to turn things around to improve their ranking if these accusations are not proven later. Apart from that, in today's match Everton performed well by winning the match against Crystal Palace with a score of 1-0. In this match Everton did not appear too impressive but they were able to maintain their advantage through the goal scored by Gomes.
Indeed it would be a very big blow for them, cause they've been working really hard to come out of the relegation zone due to the 1st points deduction and currently they're to face another one,  this could really weaken the morale of some players to give up already cause Everton is not a top team that could fight or have a  very good squad like City that could still manage to finish top 10 even though they get 20points deduction, they're an average team in the EPL still trying to grow up and this is a big problem for them.

 Well their prayers should be that even if the rumors of a second deduction is true, then it would be deducted next season and not this, cause I don't think Everton would escape relegation if they get 10 points deducted from them. Well all hope ain't lost yet and I sincerely hope they get out if this FFP issues, so as to allow the team focus on their target currently which is avoiding relegation.

Wrong!

He was the main main leading the attack for Manchester United as everyone played the ball to see him score. Wout Weghorst did most of the marking and tracking balls ( one of the reasons I saw people as crap who come on here to bash him because they don't look at his team work and work rate for Manchester United last season )

This season, Manchester United has a new number nine and Marcus Rashford has refused to create chances for the Rasmus Hojlund.

I don't want to say much about him, take a look at Granacho, the team's performance poor but he tries to up hisngake at all times, top player with top mentality. I hope Erik Ten Hag dumps him on the bench.
Well a player could be scoring goals and yet his team play is really below average vice versa. This is the case for Garnacho and Weghrost. The former is quite young but yet plays as if he’s the only one on the pitch even though he gets some important amd match winning goa but that’s poor coming from him.

 During the loan spell of Weghrost we could see how he came down deep to help defend and get the back then push for attack and this is one criteria of a quality player. The new striker is pretty good but with sting playmakers around. Oops, i think ETH should try and build this his team and their teamwork else he could join José Mourinho on the list of sacked managers this season, he has to do everything possible to buy the heart of Sir Jim and his group to retain him as United's manager next season.

 Of course it will be much more difficult because you will be facing a team that is much more balanced and has almost the same level of experience. Porto is a representative who regularly enters the Champions League and of course their strength cannot be considered weak, especially if they play at home, so Arsenal needs to be aware of their ability to provide surprises. If I wanted to bet, I would prefer the match to end in a draw because after all, Porto is a team that is quite ready to play in the Champions League.

The match is still quite long and maybe both of them can prepare a lot, depending on the depth of the squad they have. When key players suffer injuries due to participating in the main league, this will actually affect the team's performance. Both coaches will have to get really good at rotating because the playoffs will be much more difficult.
One of the fixtures for the UCL round of 16 between Arsenal and Porto is more of an average probable game. Both teams are likely to win. Although Arsenal are a better side judging from their EPL performances, to their group stage performances too. Porto themselves aren't doing so bad in their league and they've got good track record in the group stage. That's why the game is going to be a little bit tough to predict the winner, well let's see if Arsenal would be able to comfortably win them and qualify for the next round.

 Arteta's Arsenal are young, vibrant and victory oriented too. They won't want to give off their chances at the trophy just so easily to Porto. They're a side more likely to put up a fierce contest and make the game tough for their opponent Porto. Maybe or maybe not, Porto will be able to endure the strength Arsenal would put up. Arsenal are to some extent technically better than them still.

Ajax performed extraordinary by beating Go Ahead Eagles with a score of 3-2. It shows their mentality and shows that they are back to their best. I think Ajax can get a place in third or fourth place in the standings at the end of the season. But I think Ajax will be difficult to get third place because Twente played quite well in the last five matches.

But we should not underestimate AZ Alkmaar. Many people say Alkmaar are a mediocre team and they will be eliminated in the second half of the season. But their first match is against Twente and we know Twente is in their best form.
The Eredivise is competitive no doubt and consistency works very much for the teams there. It's winter season and so the teams ought to brace up to gain enough grounds ahead of post winter break. PSV and Ajax are doing explicitly well in the league as they've been able to keep up with game victories too.
For Alkmaar, they're lagging behind and it's really taking toll on them and their points on the league table too.

 They've just got to find a balance and get back to their pace. Their league isn't even as competitive as other European leagues as there are just a few teams that are tough in their play. They can still meet up with points and stay at a good spot on the table too. Congrats to Ajax and PSV, they're good and are growing better gradually regardless of the little loopholes that they're having too.The second half of the season may likely take different turn in the league as it's believed that the various team managers will make new and better strategies to increase team's performance too.

I think it is time for PSG to change their transfer policy, because it has the potential to violate the FFP and is at risk of possible sanctions, if continues to buy players at high prices. Building a squad filled with star players does increase the bargaining value of winning trophies, but if it is not managed by the right people and supported at the right time it is the same as zero, we have seen the lineup that PSG has built containing Mbappe, Messi and Neymar on the front lines. In fact, almost every line they had was filled with big names, but in the end they failed to achieve success in Europe.

Luis Enrique has the ability to present the Champions League trophy to PSG, and this has been proven in his previous period with Barcelona. I also believe that Enrique can do it again with PSG if he is trusted in a long term project. We know that winning this trophy is not easy, that's why PSG management must give Enrique time to build a squad that has the mentality of winning in Europe, like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.

PSG, are big money spenders but they should be wary lest they fall under the hammer of the FFP. Yes, signing big names aren’t bad but they could cause a worry for the team especially if they’re not managed properly or they end up signing the wrong players that doesn't match the teams standard.

 Well sometimes, big names requires some special sort of management so as to be able to achieve success and this could be likened to PSG's past squad with names but yet were nothing when at the big Europe stage. Luis is quite good but I think he needs to build his own squad so as to achieve massive success. Winning the UCL ain’t one big deal as he can achieve that same way he did at Barcelona but he needs all trust and confidence from the board so as to build his own squad and win the necessary trophies.

A slight correction in that Inter will be playing against Atletico not Real Sociedad as they were already in the same group before which meant Inter finished second and Sociedad will face PSG in the last 16.
Inter and Atletico at the moment they can still be said to be a big match because after all, currently Inter's performance is in good shape and Atletico also they are actually quite good when compared to the previous season, this season they are better because they are helped by the presence of Morata and Depay for their attack line.

This will be a big match in the round of 16 because after all in terms of experience they can still be said to be balanced, in terms of the quality of their players is also not much different so this is still a fifty-fifty.
As for Sociedad at the moment they are indeed a dark horse club which is indeed very good even they can get the top position defeating Inter, Benfica and Salzburg who are subscriptions and I think being in the round of 16 with group winner status for a debutant club is quite impressive for Sociedad.
Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are scheduled to face off in the round of 16 of the UCL. Judging both teams, they're good in their leagues. Even though Inter are at the top of their league whilst Atletico aren't, both teams still have the capacity to make the game fierce for themselves. Both managers are good too and have got experiences too and their squad are good in their own separate ways.The game would be fierce, predicting a winner would be difficult and definitely both team odds are high.

 For their domestic leagues, Inter are still on top and there's not really much threats because they're able to subdue other teams even though the games are sometimes tough especially for Juventus following them closely, they've got a work to do to stay on top of they really want to lift the trophy. For Atletico, they've got 3 teams ahead, so their struggle will only be to finish in the top 3/4 spot because currently they've not gotten any glimpse at the trophy and I doubt that the teams ahead of them will give them the leisure.

Leverkusen is currently improving its performance and we cannot deny that their excellent consistency has still kept them in first place for quite a long period of time. However, we also admit that Leipzig is not an easy opponent to beat, and is indeed considered a top club in the Bundesliga, although recently, its performance has not been that optimal and has only experienced defeats and draws that could actually be optimized.

However, we will not know whether Leipzig's performance against Leverkusen will be the same as yesterday or whether
Leverkusen is currently still quite consistent and their performance has not decreased so I think they might be able to beat Leipzig even though they have to fight harder because the opponent is quite tough, Leipzig is not an easy club to beat because as you said, Leipzig is an elite club. Bundesliga from season to season and Leipzig's performance is also not too bad so Leverkusen must be careful in this match to achieve the expected results.

I think Leipzig's performance is a little different because this will be held at Leipzig headquarters. Of course Leipzig is at an advantage and home strength makes Leipzig much stronger, but Leverkusen is also strong in the away game so Leipzig cannot underestimate their opponent in this match and the two teams will fight fierce in winning, I am very curious about Leverkusen performance without its mainstay striker and against Leipzig, will Xabi Alonso be able to maintain his club consistency in this match because Bayern Munich is really waiting for Leverkusen to slip up.
Losing key players and still performing is one big thing that big clubs do and Liepzig has proven to be one big club. Yes, they lost most of her players but still maintain standard as a club and even perform better.They made important additions that have really helped in this team’s stability. Though they’ll be facing Real Madrid in the Round of 16 and they don’t stand a chance. The fact they’ll probably be getting back to the UCL next season is a win for them.Against Leverkusen I think Liepzig will have to put in enough efforts in this match and there'll be a slight chance of survival in the game.
 
 Their visitors aren't a small side, they're bent of chasing the title to the last and so it's expected that the intensity will be high being that Leipzig are the visitors and won't want to embrace a loss in the game either. For me, I still think Leipzig no matter their playing condition are still a valuable club in the German league and European contests generally. They've proven their worth in most of their games this season and it's an addition to their quality.
1192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 17, 2024, 05:29:59 PM

The decision to part ways with a coach is undoubtedly a significant and sensitive matter. Football management decisions are often based on a combination of short-term and long-term considerations. The Roma management believes that the team is not on track to meet its season goals or that there are systemic issues affecting performance, they saw the need for a change.

If there are concerns about the team's ability to achieve this under the current coaching setup, the management may feel compelled to make a change to salvage the season and maintain their competitive edge. The manner of Mourinho's departure, particularly if it occurred over the phone, is indeed a topic of concern. Dismissing a coach in such a manner can be perceived as disrespectful. Handling such decisions with professionalism and respect is crucial, especially when dealing with a coach who has made significant contributions to the footballing world. The objective is not just short-term success but also long-term sustainability and competitiveness, and these factors may have played a role in the decision to part ways with Mourinho.
One thing to note is the fact that yes a coach is paid to play a role in every team he manages but sometimes there's always a situation where the coach performs his role rightly but still the team sulks in backwardness and unending defeats. It's pretty unfair that the coach should be held accountable for all the wrongs the general team is involved in.

 Every member of a ten is paid to deliver positively and so when the coach is at fault, he should be proscribed, and when the players are at fault, they also should be dissed. A coach only manages, developing the right strategies but the players are the ones on the pitch to implement the developed strategy. They all have the collective effort of performing well for the team. Either the player, or the coach or both parties can generally be the fault in every unfavorable game outcome.

Lose against a club with a better quality was a common thing but roma was still sitting very close to the top 4. It was a stupid decision to sack mourinho. The stupid club like roma can only know that how to win without even considering how much funds must be allocated to strengthen the club.
This is the main that has been occured and it's pretty hard to be solved. People were thinking de rossi was not the right choice and roma will be declining even harder. Roma never puts respect on its coach. No doubt that mourinho being sacked when he was only making a little mistake.

Roma is still playing in europa league too. It's still a big achievement for a poor club who is rarely funding its coach to buy the quality players in the market. No doubt that many people are feeling so angry.
Some said that if mourinho deserves to be sacked but is there a guarantee if de rossi can do better than mourinho? I don't even agree with the decision to sign de rossi as a new coach.
It has been making so many fans were feeling contradicted with it. It is worth mentioning that there are several YouTube videos where a large number of people have expressed their disagreement with the decision made by Roma.

Roma never solves the problem owned by the club like having player which was injury prone like dybala. This guy was only playing a few times in the big matches.
Roma are a good side. Their manager Mourinho has some kind of special ability to raise up a team into a pretty much successful squad. Even with the loopholes they're faced with, he's still been able to help the team stand out in some games. Injury has definitely been a number one deprivation of a team's performance but the manager has been able to make do with the players and squad he's got available and even though not perfect as expected, they're not relenting in their efforts.
 
 The European competition would definitely favour them, they only need to strive to win a ticket. Good thing also that their striker is at his peak performance and he's always capable of delivering the team to victory in dire moments. I'd admit that the team and manager are very much compatible maybe it's the resonance that's natural or maybe Mourinho's great coaching ability at work but at the moment, the situation in the team is in safe hands and patiently and gently, they'd stride to the spots they want to be even though they've got at hand tough team challenges to conquer.

Trabzonspor will definitely provide obstacles for Galatasaray to get full points in this 21st round match, after all, Trabzonspor is also team that is currently in third place, even though the point difference with Galatasaray is very large, they can really make things difficult for Galatasaray.
If the match actually ends in draw, you can be sure that Galatasaray will be further away from catching up on points from Fenerbahce, who are still at the top of the standings.
I agree that if the match results in draw then it is an opportunity for Fenerbahce to take control in the title race this season.

Trabzonspor have home game and this is great opportunity to produce win and pressure Galatasaray for various points.
For Besiktas itself, it looks like they will succeed in shifting and occupying third place because in their match they will only be playing against Pendikspor, which is the bottom team.
Dispor themselves have only been able to have 3 wins so far and they will never have the ability to be able to fight Besiktas.
Besiktas is one team in the Turkish League that are to an extent doing well for themselves. Even though they don't get to have a spot in the UCL, they still try their best to earn a spot in the UEL  and while at that segment of the European tournament, they do their best to gain good results. Besiktas being one of the top teams in the league still has the tendency of rising to a better stance. The team is set to make a positive turn around in the team and their game play will be improved too. We hope to see the new Besiktas a few days and weeks from now and see the difference they'd make.
 
 Fernabache and Galatasaray are good teams with good quality of players and both are capable of making the contest tough. But we await who'd be the greatest of them all. They are making the struggle for the league trophy more difficult because they are giving thesame victory energy and aura, the points gathered, the goal differences, they're seemingly the toughest team in the league and their victory is so certain. In a long while in the Turkish League, deciding the league's winner will take a while because these two teams are good at what they do. They're making the league's football more fun especially when it has to do with these two teams.

The loses from Real Madrid at Super Cup makes some people starting to speculate about Xavi future this because they didn't accept that loses moreover before lost from Real Madrid Barcelona also unable to performing well at Copa Dey Rey although at that time Xavi played some of Barcelona key players just like Lewandowski and Raphinha but Barcelona only able to win with narrow scores against 4th division team FC Barbastro so if want his position is still safe as Barcelona manager then Xavi should be immediately to solved this situation and bringing Barcelona to return to the winning ways

Barcelona currently at 4th place with 8 different points below to Girona which is the team in the first place so a bit difficult for Barcelona to pursuing Girona and Real Madrid for race title so it's normal if people starting to worried Barcelona will be unable to defend their title but Barcelona sport director Deco has been says Xavi position is still safe and he wouldn't be sacked but Barcelona have to gets positive results for the next several matches just like against Unionistas de Salamanca CF at Copa Del Rey or against Betis in Laliga and if Barcelona lost again from those matches i am sure Xavi will be sacked
Barcelona's performance are not even encouraging, they're behind their usual style of play. This definitely isn't the usual Barcelona of past seasons. Their performance hasn't really been encouraging and even though they're a better side technically to other teams, it's just a number of uncertainties that are present. The players and management teams aren't really at their best and it has to be corrected.

 In the round of 16, they are up against a tough opponent, they've got enough weeks to prepare hard and build strong confidence ahead. They really can't afford to take a bow out of the contest at this stage. Although it's unpredictable but they're definitely boasted of to scale through and they have the right player quality too. Just a bit of increase in performance is needed. Although, their games in the coming weeks are definitely awaited.

Yes, I also really miss the Saudi League playing again, but what can we do, we have to be patient and wait, of course even though currently the Saudi League players are relaxing, it would be better if they prepared themselves with training and of course it will definitely produce stamina and good performance. Yes, the elite teams have to perform well because their competition when the Saudi League starts will definitely be tight, especially as Ittihad will of course start its first match after a long holiday and Ittihad will face Al-Ta'ee, even though Ittihad can be said to be superior to Al -ta'ee but of course we won't know because sometimes Al-ta'ee's performance might be better because of the long holiday. So indeed, having training like that will definitely make the team's abilities better and no longer stiff when the match starts.

It looks like Al-Hilal's match against Inter Miami in the Friendly match is also getting closer and of course you have to start practicing now.
Likewise with Al-Nassr who will face Shanghai Shenhua in the Friendlies match so they definitely also need to train from now on so I am amazed by the Saudi League team who are training.

Yes, of course in the next match there will definitely be a fierce match because of course all teams want to become champions this season. Yes, I also can't wait and want to see the match.
Based on the agenda of the Saudi Pro League striving to create visibility and awareness in the European space with the major goal of ensuring an expanded sports market, the clubs find themselves in a situation where there's less utilization of local players. These players have no doubt some certain level of effects to a club but the aims of these clubs won't allow for the players to be used. It'll only make sense that a policy be put in place for the use of local players in every team but I don't think that'll be enough to take them to where they visioned the league to get to.

 SPL wants to be broadcasted and be seen worldwide and this makes for the rapid purchase and push for European stars who'd cause focus to gradually be shifted to their league. If the local players are entertained, then there'd definitely be no room for this hot caked stars in Europe and in the long run, it won't give them the focus they want to get. All things in the SPL currently occurs as a planned activity, and they are all working towards a set goal. It's only a gradual process before the impacts are seen.

It was surprising match result because many football fans and Lens fans initially expected the match result to be at least draw so that Lens could maintain its position in catching up.
But in the end, Lens home match meant they were embarrassed because they lost by 2 goals without reply and this was result that really could not have been imagined from the start.
The look on the face of Franck Haise, who is the Lens coach, looks very disappointed.
He hopes to share the points but has to accept that the team he built has lost points and has the potential to experience decline in the current standings.
On the other hand, Lens also suffered loss where their mainstay defender Gradit received red card, losing one player in their back line made the game even worse and Lens playing style was like team that was in disarray because of the emptiness at the back.

Next, Lens will face Toulouse and they should win even though this is Toulouse home game.
No one can hope for Toulouse to win the match because Lens is also team that is actually not that weak..
Well Lens are pretty good this season but I don’t see them being able to match up with PSG . Though being defeated by 2 unreplied goals is quite crazy especially in front of your home fans. I think PSG dominated this match and had everything working for them.The red card for Lens was quite crazy and that gave PSG, the edge over Lens because the victim was one of Lens solid defender who holds the backline. The emptiness was a strength for PSG to seal the win with a 2nd goal.

Lens faces Toulouse, away at Toulouse and will be all out for the win against Toulouse so as to maintain their stand, but I don’t think this will be quite an easy one and could maybe end in a draw. Although Lens are more favorites to win Toulouse so if I'm to stake on it,  to b on a safer side I'll bet Lens to win or draw.

I think so too. Both Liverpool and Man City will be the tightest competitors in the EPL with a very small point gap. So we can see that if one of them slips even once, it will really benefit the other. Man City experienced a decline in performance when several of its main players were injured for a long time, especially de Bruyne. But now, Man City has returned to normal. With the hope that the contribution of all Man City key players, including de Bruyne in particular, can really bring Man City back to being as strong as before. So, the competition between Man City and Liverpool will really be exciting.

On the other hand, Arsenal seems to be starting to move away from the competition due to some of their performance which has declined quite a bit since the middle of the season. Arteta has several times not been able to get his team to achieve the victory they should have, and instead experienced failures that were actually unnecessary. In this case, Arteta must work even harder to rebuild Arsenal and compete with Man City and Liverpool for the EPL title. Oh yes, regarding Aston Villa, this was really unexpected because they also turned out to be progressing very well. However, when compared to Man City and Liverpool, it looks like Aston Villa still has to try harder. At least, them being in the top 3 or getting into the UCL is something that is definitely very valuable.
Manchester City and Liverpool are the only serious competitors we’ve got for the EPL right now and funny enough these are the 2 consistent teams we’ve got over the past 4 years in the English league. Now any slip from any of both teams will be a big boost on the other and each team will want to try to make sure all her players are sound and injury free so as to always be battle ready.

 The race will be interesting and fun to watch especially for football lovers around as this could probably be one last keenly contested title race between these 2 teams in a while. Arsenal with her injury problems aren’t seen as title contenders anymore but rather as top 4 competitors and they should be careful how they go on because they could move off that spot if they’re not being careful. Aston Villa aren’t a match for Liverpool and City but could probably be giving in a fight to get a UCL spot and this is one team Arsenal should be wary off because currently I don’t see Arsenal being better off than Aston Villa.

 I was starting to get impressed by your analysis about how the 2024 AFCON is playing out with the tantalizing surprises the smaller teams giving us not until to the end part of the analysis of which i strongly disagree. as it stands in the various groups Nigeria has 1 point after a 1-1 draw in the match against Equatorial Guinea meanwhile Ghana who played against Cape Verde lost in that match which ended 1-2 in favour of Cape Verde. Ghana is without a single point as at the time am writing this whereas Nigeria has 1 points to start with in their group. so i wonder how the Nigeria super eagles are worst of to their West African counterpart Ghana. except you are implying that Zero is now bigger than 1.

Now by this am not implying that am impressed with the result of the match Nigeria against Equatorial Guinea but in contrast to the situation of the black stars of Ghana Nigeria has something tangible to start with and if you check exception Cape verde every other team in that group A is with just 1 point, Ghana -1.
AFCON is majorly full of surprises and in African football any team could give the bigger team headache on the pitch of play. As we saw the 1 goal a piece draw played by Super Eagles real crazy, unfortunately the Black Stars of Ghana fell to a 2-1 defeat by Cape Verde and that’s quite crazy. Well I'm fully aware that the upcoming fixtures would be filled with more suprises and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

 These results makes both team looks small and really shapeless but let’s see how their subsequent matches plays out. With this result, I think Nigeria is more better than Ghana and could offer something in this competition than Ghana. But I believe both teams will pick form and get serious when they realize the competition has kicked off already.

Respected and? Is that enough if he cannot do better than Jose Mourinho? Lol I would love to see his experience in the coaching game. The management must be really inspired by Xabi Alonso, they also wanted to explore and work with a young coach, the season still has good number of weeks ahead, it's either they do better or go down sinking below.

At least when I e looks back at what Jose Mourinho has achieved, he made great memories with em. The club at some points didn't provide him with the lads he wants.
He got to the Finals last year and also won them the UEFA Conference League Competition during his first season.

Feyenoord anyways was a team Jose Mourinho would have defeated because he's done it before, the plans they had for the top four just didn't get actualized. Godspeed with Jose Mourinho in the next phase. ( Saudi Ways? )
Xabi Alonso is really doing well with his Leverkusen side especially as the club’s got confidence in him and are willing to give him necessities and get the signings done. This is one thing that adds to the criteria of a successful coach, getting your required signings and getting the desired results with them. And to be honest Xabi has proven that he's ready to make a name for himself as one of the most successful managers in times to come.

 Jose tried to get this club to her first European trophy in his first season and the 2nd season lost in an European final. This season the clubs seems to be struggling especially as they’re not achieving credible resultss to help them secure the top 4. Well Jose still has whAt it takes to be very successful especially when given the necessary signings he wants and I think he’ll move to Saudi and establish himself there.
