Arsenal vs small EPL teams, Disappointed.... again
The fans wish the best for the club, but the team is letting fans down.
Declan Rice can't carry this team on his shoulders when we have passenger in Harvertz who is only visible when things go out way.
65M on Harvetz could have been used to get a good striker for Arsenal
Make the right signings immediately after the window opens. Don't waste time.

This game have cost a lot of bettors their bet, cause who would belive that a team like Arsenal would lose to Fulham,despite the fact that they were the visiting team, they were more favorites based on squad depth and form but Arsenal disappointed the 2nd consecutive time even with the little odd they were given to win Fulham, what suprise me most was that they scored first and allowed Fulham to get an equalizer and they a come back. I think Arteta would be so furious with his players, cause losing 3 points would cause them to drop on the standings.

 On the hands this is a big win for Fulham on winning one of the strongest and top 4 team, they not only made their coach proud but their fans would be so happy on winning Arsenal on the last day of 2023. I wonder how Arsenal would win the league if they continue with this poor performance they have to sit up so what happened the precious season won't repeat itself. I think Arteta needs to act fast and find the loopholes, before it's too late.

Probably the best in serie a, it's rarely conceding the ball unlike intermilan. The only problem is still remain unsolved its the attackers. Juventus didn't have good attackers right now, and this is the problem owned by juventus. To be honest, i actually though i was going to see a messed up formation from allegri but i was wrong. Even though juventus played safely but it's still able to winning the game against roma which has been proving if juventus is good. People are praising how juventus has very strong defenders and yeah it becomes the key owned by juventus to win the trophy.
Allegri got the job done pretty well against roma. Roma was not weak but juventus is always able preventing it from attacking the goal keeper. Juventus is not the same as last season but there is a slight improvement that is happening with the club. Allegri has been also praising his club for the won against roma which is one of strongest club in the serie a

Glad to see that vlahovic is feeling even more confidence with his performance in the club. I can't wait another action to come from him soon.
Juventus have really improved than last season and yes they’re not so sharp up there in the attack but they are composed defensively. And you know what they say, defense is the best form of attack.They concede less and also try to score at least one or two and get all 3 points and that’s one big way to win te league. As it stands, they’re are a better option than Inter who seem shaky since Lautaro’s injury.

 Allegiri is one coach that knows how to manage his team to victory and brings out the confidence in his players and we can see that in vlahovic. I feel he’ll improve in coming days and start getting the goals Juventus needs to keep maintaining top spot, if not they'll be forced to take advantage of the upcoming window and get another striker as backup,nevertheless I trust Juve to maintain their position in the top 4.

And with the two games yesterday:

Braga 3 x 1 Casa Pia
Portimonense 1 x 2 Sporting

I managed to win my multiple bet and will end the year with a winning bet and a profit hehe, very good for my bankroll to start well in 2024  Cool
Not many surprises or difficulties for both teams

But there's a new round in five days, with a possibly difficult game for Braga
The other top three should win, but I'll think about my bet
Braga yesterday and before yesterday have been a good team, though they've incurred some losses but they earned 3points fairly yesterday. They were a better side and they were also the hosts too. Their game play worked well in their favor. Sadly they weren't able to keep a clean sheet but they surely were able to maintain the lead till the last minute. It shows how tough and  strong they're in their league.

 For Sporting, they also had their share of 3 points, still no clean sheets but a big away from home win. The results gave these two teams a push on the table and still keeps them in the right spot on their league race. Subsequent games won't really be easy, so the confidence this game result ensued should be used at their disposal. There's definitely still a change and improvement to be effected by these teams.

Transfers to be made in January transfer window could be effective enough to change the fate of the Champions League winner maybe. I can't imagine what would happen in case of seeing Real Madrid's signing a deal with Mbappe. However even if this happens he wouldn't join the team right away of course. They would need to wait for him until the end of the season unless they buy his clause to bring him immediately.

However truthfully I don't expect Real Madrid to sign him in January because probably he would like to wait for the end of the season to make his decision on his future.  Smiley  I expect PSG to be eliminated early again which would make things really difficult for convincing Mbappe to stay.
It's very much certain and has been on record that some changes made in squads during the January transfer has either positive or negative effect on the team's European contest performances. This season won't be an exemption. There are a number of transfers to be done this season and it's definitely going to bring expected changes to teams too.

 Mbappe is a good player, he's doing good for PSG but he's feeling the need to leave the team but doesn't know when, he's got teams in mind too but they also may not need him to join them yet. Even though there are still some others questing for him but they only have to be able to meet his terms of contract too. Real Madrid would have definitely worked well for him as they're currently in their highest performance range but we'd find out and conclude on all these rumors in a few days.

Based on my personal point of view, Lewandowski will still be heavily relied on by Barcelona or Xavi. why, yeah because after all Barcelona still needs his services as a center forward in their squad. at least, before they get an ideal replacement in the front line. in other words, Lewa will remain the main option, especially if he doesn't experience any problems, especially those related to injury. Lewandowski's presence is very crucial, especially this season. not only how he has to score goals as his job as a pure striker, but precisely because his stability will be very helpful for Barcelona's young players, like Gavi or Pedri who are often given instructions by Lewandowski when setting strategies, even though he is no longer young, in fact he has entered the age of 35. however, if Xavi is able to maximize his patterns, systems and strategies, Barcelona should now be a competitive team. unfortunately, because they experienced a storm of injuries, Barcelona was unable to appear consistently in every match. plus, Barcelona's defense line has really experienced a decline in performance unlike last season. however, we agree that the age factor cannot be avoided by any great player and Lewandowski is no exception. however, at least Lewan is still very useful for Barcelona. now the problem is with Xavi, how he has to find an effective formula for his squad when playing match after match. as for rumors of Lewandowski's departure, I actually haven't heard any news. it could be, because currently I don't really follow developments regarding rumors or gossip. but as far as I know, Lewandowski once made a statement that he wanted to end his career at Barcelona. whether Lewa will leave for another club or league, we'll see what the results will be.
Lewandowski is a great striker. He's still got the fuel in him to net in more goals. He's agile, skilful and his goal scoring abilities are at the peak. Although age is calling gradually but he's still got a bit of time in him to show his worth in the public and projected games too. Although like Ronaldo, even at the age he is, he still kept the zeal on. I don't think Lewandowski's case would be any different.

 Let him still use the ample of his time left to do exploits. He's got European cups and tournaments to journey through and in him, there's all that it'd take. Age is still favourable to him and he doesn't look like he'd slack in a few years to come, so for the mean time, he's got to enjoy his playing time before thinking of retiring back to the Arab league or quit football generally. But I don't think he'll retire completely he'll still want to continue, he'll probably move to the Arab League or join Messi at MLS.

Next tomorrow January transfer window will open until one month later, still not late for PSG selling Kylian Mbappe on this transfer window but depend how to find teams will pay higher bid offer exactly many teams won't pay above 200 million due his contract expiry six months later. One month left before transfer window close is not easy raising agreement deal with team who interest for signing Mbappe include most expensive fee transfer. Real Madrid with their manager Carlo Ancelotti have confirmed not make any transfer or buy player on January window transfer and likely they will wait until Mbappe contract expiry.

Beside Real Madrid have Liverpool who interested for signing Mbappe, but one day left before transfer window opening not official bid offer yet from The Kop for negotiation to sign Mbappe.
Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is yet to be finalized so it's safe to tag it a rumour although we'd know how serious the rumor is in two days. His addition to the Spanish side won't be a bad idea though because he'd complement the coach's taste and style of play too and he will be an advantage too. His team mates will be as young, vibrant, skilful as he is and no doubt they'd become a team that stands out. Mbappe is a young player and he's still got enough exploits to perform. It won't be advisable for him to join SPL.

 Ancelloti knows the type of player he needs in his team and he knows how to push for the player. He's a wise and intelligent coach who knows how best to carve out his team based on his style. For now, he's said openly that there won't be additions or subtractions to his squad till the summer break and it's not a loss of hope for the French man as he's still got Liverpool questing for his skillset. So maybe, their offer will be considerable to him and he'd then turn to join the English side.

Yes, maybe it is too early for us to speculate about where Cabi wants to go because this will be a long season for Cabi while he is at Leverkusen. Even if Leverkusen is successful in achieving achievements in the UEL and can maintain its position in first place in the points table, I am sure that Cabi will be in the next season. Very enthusiastic about moving to higher competition in the Champions League and will try to win a new history in the Champions League next season.
This season Leverkusen seems to have had great luck in being able to bring in a coach like him who has a strategy that is always right and can control all Leverkusen players to be able to perform solidly.
So linking Cabi with Real Madrid is no longer valid because Madrid already has the right choice.
In the upcoming match against Augsburg there will definitely be an opportunity for Leverkusen to get 3 points but we as bettors please be careful before betting because it could end in a draw.
But what is certain is that Leverkusen is trying not to lose points and provide a large gap to Bayern Munich.
Well I think Xabi Alonso has made his marks at Leverkusen and it’s very excellent to bow out when the ovations are loudest. Yes he’s eyeing huge success at Leverkusen this season and it’s very possible. Yes, he has to face higher challenges but that’s not necessarily important if he wins the UEL this season and maybe the league; he can just go home and have a good rest and come back refreshed when he finds the perfect club.

 Yes, many European clubs wants him but the rumors were Madrid, unfortunately Don Carlo has been handed a 2 year contract and that already rules out the rumor of Xabi coming in. I feel he should rest a season and come back better and refreshed, maybe by then he'll be fully prepares and sure that he's ready to take the role of a manager in a top flight club, maybe his other previous club Liverpool or still Madrid in future.

Juventus was in another level. Im concerning about how strong the defensive line is owned by juventus. It was always winning the game with cleansheet and it's likely juventus will take intermilan's position. Allegri is just starting to help club to go to the trophy.
I meant that roma is having touble on its defensive line caused by sometimes it was not connecting between one to each other. This is the main problem that needs to be sorted out by mourinho. That loses is also telling us the main weakness owned by roma this time.
Im not even feeling that if roma will be facing another trouble if it will not fix the problem as soon as possible. Feyenoord is a considerably strong opponent. This is why, even though it has poor performance in UCL but we shall not call that feyenoord as a weak team.
It's caused by roma was not even better compared to the slavia praha and this must be noted as the main point for mourinho to call back his players to train even harder than before.
The defensive line needs also to be trained even better. Im not saying it's bad but in fact that if roma is also having poor defenders. No doubt if juventus was winning the game. This can be evaluation for mourinho before his club is going to face feyenoord.
The toughest Series A encounter for the week ended in just a 1goal lead of Juventus over Roma. The two sides are known to be tough even though one may seem tougher and at a higher standing than the other but it was good that Roma ensured it wasn't more than 1 goal but bad because they could have tried harder to make it end in a draw. The result gave an extra 3 points to Juventus and left Roma still struggling to come up again.

 They both want to stay top and get tickets to the European contest. Juventus confidence is in check for subsequent games and for Roma, they've got extra work to do. They have to put in extra efforts. Juventus are in good shape and they're focused too, their Serie A race isn't seeming obstructed by European cups but Roma has two races to work towards. That's an extra task for them to round up successfully. we'll see how the next half of the season would be for these teams.

Again, never underestimate your opponent even though arsenal is obviously far above compared to the fulham right now. Im only telling about the fact that if arsenal must always play carefully caused by it may lose a chance to compete for the title once arsenal will be doing bottle job again. So many fans are aware about the main problem owned by arsenal like this club lost its spirit when it comes to the end of season. We are still in the middle of season and no excuses for arsenalt o lose more points in this game. Three points are very important thing for arsenal, arteta needs to make sure his club will not be so wasteful like the previous match. Fulham is not looking strong right now and this is the chance owned by arsenal to win the game soon. Im expecting martinelli and gabriel to be starting line up. Fulham can become a threat for the big club in EPL.

Arsenal's performance was absolutely terrible in the previous match against westham. Im not expecting it to repeat the same mistake or arsenal may be slowly but surely out from the title race against liverpool.
We can also expect liverpool to lose some points soon and this is arsenal chance to make it happen. City was winning the previous game, and it's going even closer to us.

It likes you are in the race to get the title and you shall not fucked up yourself to be a trophyless team again. Im not happy with arteta done in the previous match
Fulham today will be playing at home to Arsenal. Well these two teams are good but Arsenal seems better. They're at the top of the table too and so they've got technically a higher probability of surfacing their host in the game even though Fulham may try to stay in the game and be meaningful too. Well Arsenal are already dominating the game and are leading by a goal in the first half of the game.

 Notwithstanding the capacity of Arsenal, Fulham can still turn things around and gain all 3points or maybe end it in a tie. The EPL is known for its unpredictability. No team should be looked down on because it'll all be decided on the pitch. Both teams want the 3 points. Arsenal wants to stay on top, Fulham has to protect their face of being the host and as well climb up on the table standings too. Let the better team win today.

This is not right. They allowed Turkish flags and the national anthem, but not photos of Atatürk, the founder of the country. So, The Arab Football Federation applied the rules of the International Football Association.

Where are you from? I think you're Spanish. Do you remember going to a cup match wearing a shirt with Franco's picture on it? The Spanish teams will play their finals in Arabia for the next 6 years. Do you think they will play with shirts with Franco's picture on them? The answer to that question is of course no. Some things that are abnormal in the world are ordinary and mandatory in my country. That's why we face some problems in global organizations. Prince Salman is one of the dictators I hate the most, but the decision of the Arab Football Federation is right. Unfortunately, Arabs are more modern than us in this regard.
Somethings are not meant to be debated about because we’ve got to put the country forward in football and not the founder of the country. So why the sudden change is just like a country heading out and taking the picture of their Colonial Masters into the World Cup than their traditional national colour which has its meaning, it doesn't make any sense

 So I think the Footballing agency in charge there should help the football community effect the necessary changes rather than let a dictator takeover the affairs of football which have its own supreme body.Dictatorship is a no in football and would be fought against, there are some certain rules that's been laid and are bound to be kept, well I think the FIFA body needs to look into the issue and handle the situation properly, so as to let those dictators be guided.
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 31, 2023, 02:02:22 PM
A difficult match for PSG in League 1 is when they play against clubs that challenge them at the start, but in the end the clubs that challenge PSG over time will start to lose when they have to compete with PSG, which has better squad depth when compared to other clubs. I don't think there is any club that can win throughout the season without losing because throughout the season there are long matches, especially PSG always has a busier schedule compared to other clubs in League 1 because PSG always competes in the Champions League every season.

Every league definitely has competitors, but sometimes every league has a club that always dominates the title, such as the Bundesliga which is dominated by Bayern Munich, La Liga which is dominated by Real Madrid, the Italian Serie A League which is dominated by Juventus, but it seems like only the Bundesliga and League 1 are dominated it's too boring compared to other leagues such as the English League, La Liga, Serie A League because there are many clubs that enjoy the title, making the league more competitive and exciting every season, while PSG League 1 has won the title in the last few seasons so it looks boring.
PSG are doing well in the French Ligue 1 race, even though it's not as balanced as it ought to. They're a team expected to perform better than they're doing now judging from the performances of previous seasons. They're just a few points ahead and it's very much not buoyant for them as the increase in the league's intensity may unintentionally lead to their drop in position which they as a team shouldn't let to happen.

 They've also been able to advance to the round of 16 of the UCL and their Spanish opponent, who's not really a tough side as them but maybe stands a chance to advancing to the next stage. They'll have to be extra prepared for the game ahead. They also have to be careful about their league race. They've got to stay in shape and capacity too. They've got to use the games during the early second half of the season to cover up their tracks and also strive to be far better than Sociedad and even advance to the quarter finals.

I liked how the Al-Nassr squad won the match. They enable players to score goals evenly. Which indicates there is no selfishness in the Al-Nassr squad. In this match, Talisca did not score a goal but he had an important role by making 1 assist. And C.Ronaldo really ended the year very brilliantly. Well that was C.Ronaldo's last goal at the end of the year. This player, who is no longer young, always amazes me with the stamina he has. Even though he is no longer young, he often plays full time. And it is quite impressive to see that C. Ronaldo can be more productive than the young players.

But the difference in points with Al-hilal is still the same and yes, it is very difficult to wait for Al-hilal to lose points this season. Because everyone definitely admits how strong Al-hilal's performance is currently. And Al-Nassr, which continues to trail in second place, is also quite good because Al-Nassr has also been able to maintain positive results to date. But if Al-Nassr fails then it will ensure that Al-hilal will indeed win the title this season.
Al Nassr is one big team in the SPL that when fixed for a game, they've got some quantuble high chance of being victorious. I'd say for all teams in that league, it's kind of like Al Hilal being the only team that may give Al Nassr a tough time. The others, yes, may be good in one little way or the other but Al Nassr just seems better off.

 Even though they've played and gained an extra 3points in their last game, they've still got a difference in the table standings with just a few points. There's still this confidence that they'd still be able to meet up and win the trophy this season. Although Al Hilal is not a team that should be joked with, they're a good side too as Al Nassr. Al Nassr shouldn't trade their chances and loose again as their toughest counterpart will seize such flaw as a tool to stay solid in the toppest position and it'll be difficult to correct the errors when it's late.

That's why, because Porto is not an easy team to beat, Arteta will prepare his squad to play the match with very high performance. moreover, this match will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, the home of Porto. if they are able to steal full points at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's headquarters, the Gunners players will be happy to do their job very well. so, I'm quite sure that Arteta is not aiming for a draw in the first leg. theoretically, Arsenal will continue to use an offensive playing pattern. thus, it is certain that this match will be quite fierce. the problem is, the Gunners' young squad will be tested in this match. will Arsenal be able to overcome the obstacles when they visit Porto's headquarters, or will Arsenal experience the same thing as when competing at Lens' headquarters.

On the other hand, as the home team, Porto will not let Arsenal steal full points at home, that's why Sergio Conceicao will prepare his team's squad to fight with good performance when they face Arsenal in the last 16 of the Champions League. the opportunity to play in front of their own supporters in the first leg, Conceicao's squad will do their job by doing their job very well. but if we refer to what the betting bookies are providing for the time being, Arsenal is superior to the home team. however, these odds are only temporary. ahead of the match, it's likely that will change. unless Arsenal experiences problems or is otherwise in a positive trend.

Talking about Arsenal in the Domestic League competition, I think we still have lots of opportunities to remain competitive. after all, there are still a lot of games remaining until the end of the season. well, let's just wait before the Porto vs Arsenal match.
This match will be a fierce one and will be a strong test for Arteta and his boys on their readiness for the UCL. Porto are a pretty good team and are very composed when playing on home soil and they’ll be coming to that match to watch Arsenal play their football while they probably sit and hit on the counter. Arsenal should better improve on their offensive play and try to know when to fall back.

 They should take cues from the match against West Ham because it could be similar to what Porto will be preparing for them. For the first leg I think double chancing on Arsenal is better and for the second leg giving Arsenal a straight win is preferable. Domestically, I think Arsenal will bounce back from the defeat from the Hammers and put up a fight for the league, I believe Arteta have learnt one or two lessons and how to make up for his errors.

If indeed Lewandowski asks for a salary increase, it seems I agree with you that he will be sold to another club to make a profit rather than increasing his salary but it won't have a big impact on Barcelona.
I have previously heard that Lewandowski actually wanted to be sold by Barcelona but he refused when there was a big offer from a Saudi Arabian club so maybe Lewandowski received a bigger offer from a European club.
The question is quite difficult, which European club is willing to buy old players at high prices? It's a little impossible but it could happen unless he gives a very strong performance this season and releases him in the next transfer market to give confidence to other clubs to offer him a big salary even though he looks old.
But it quite difficult for Lewandowski to improve his performance because his old age prevents him from increasing his performance level because his physique is definitely very different.
Barcelona is financially off the radar at this point and Lewandowski asking for a pay rise will leave them with no other option than to offload him. Yes, he would have left earlier had he not turned down a huge offer from the SPL but what could be the cause? Him asking for a pay rise means there have been a green light from a club in Europe and yes it’s very possible because I feel he still has some sting in him and could help you get huge number of goals enough to make your team succeed.

 So  Barcelona would have to use him to his full potential then try to offload at the end of the season and make way for younger striker who still proves effective, cause with the way things are I don't think Lewandowski is still fit for the pressure in European football, despite the fact that he's experienced it's not enough to keep Barcelona going, they'll need a younger, stronger and talented young lad upfront to replace him sooner or later.

I'm not sure why Mbape is one of the most discussed guy anticipating for Real Madrid even when they have denounced anything related to him several time. Not that if Real Madrid sign him heaven is going to fall, there are other places he is going to excel better than the current PSG he has been trying to keep their dream on the football map. But it's high time people should believe that with or without Mbape, the club already has a sufficient players enough to help them reach the potential to win leagues, Vinicious and Kroos are back at the training field which means that they are fit and are ready to play.

Similarly, this was how they falsely spread Anceloti move to Brazil to go and continue his career as an international footballer but he has cleared the air with his active new deal to 2023. If not that some people are to daft to think straight, why will he live a club like Real Madrid and go to Brazil when some or his players he will coach over there are in Real Madrid, it doesn't add up unless they want to make him the governor of a state in Brazil. Grin
Mbappe rumor to Madrid is one selling rumor on the football media space hence the reason why it keeps thriving even when the team and the head coach denounces it. Well Mbappe is one player that could get his dream when he lands at the Bernabeu and it could be a reality but for now I think we should let the youngster foucs on helping himself amd his team PSG before he probably departs.

 Yes, the PSG squad will flourish without him but I don’t think they’ll fly so high then compared to how they’re flying now except there’s a 100% commitment from all players. Well I think people should go easy on the rumors and not hasten the players or the club into making wrong decisions as this is pertaining to one’s career and any wrong decision could mar the club and player next season.

Several important players have indeed left Napoli, such as their mainstay defender last season, Kim Min Jae. Kim Min Jae is known as a central defender who is difficult for opponents to pass. But unfortunately he went to Bayern and strengthened the current Bayern squad. But Napoli's problems this season are actually on the front lines. Even though their back line is not as strong as last season, it is still quite good. Because what's worse is Napoli's current attack line which often wastes the opportunities they get. The front players seemed to have lost their sharpness. They don't seem to be playing like usual. Last season the level of effectiveness of Napoli's attacks was very feared, but this season Napoli's attacks are just like normal team attacks.
I also didn't expect that Napoli would be ranked in the middle of the standings. But I think Napoli will be in 8th place for just a little while. And I am sure that in the near future Napoli will be able to rise to a better ranking again. Because currently the difference between ranking points 8 to 6 is only one point. So that rapid changes can occur.
Yes Changes will sure occur in the Serie A table but that doesn’t mean we should overlook the errors in this Napoli team. Yes, we know most teams are occasion winners and after winning the league they ghost a while and probably Napoli could be one of those teams, cause they've shown it this season that they're incapable of winning the Scudetto consecutively.

 Yes, their backline still seem pretty composed but I think it’s one major problem they’re facing and they’ll need an effective top signing to come pilot this defense line. For the attack not being sharp, what could have gone wrong if not envy over the Nigerian, Victor who outperformed most of them and now they feel they need to outshine hence the teAm is suffering.The coach of this team yes will have quite a lot of work to do and if these are done then I can see Napoli moving up the log so soon.

That is the biggest worry for Dortmund fans this season, that their beloved club is losing the potential to appear in the UCL next season. Regardless of their luck this season in getting through the UCL group phase, in the Bundesliga they should also be able to achieve the same good balance. A situation that is rarely experienced by Dortmund, because usually they appear consistent and compete closely in the hunt for trophies with Bayern Munchen, we can take an example like last season. Stuttgart and Leipzig will continue to try to assert their position in the top four, because they also want to experience the atmosphere of the UCL next season.

Dortmund have to do something, I mean looking for a solution in the transfer window if they want to appear consistently, using the existing players alone, which in my opinion is not enough to compete in the second half of the season. I think they don't really understand that this season Bundesliga competition is very different from previous seasons, if they hope something good will come without trying for it, then they will sleep for a long time this season just dreaming.
Dortmund are one top teams of the Bundesliga who usually are consistent in coming to the UCL. Yes they’ve been inconsistent this season after losing most of its key players but one sweet thing is that in that inconsistency, they manage to go through to the last 16 of the UCL, which is one thing i love about this team, they always manage their players and use what they got to go forward in the UCL.

 Now they’re lurking away from UCL spot next season in their domestic league; with the likes of Stuggart and Liepzig a little above them. Well not a cause for too much worry because this Dortmund squad has the experience and can get back to UCL spot. But one thing the board and coach should try out is to recruit new players who would help this team look fierce else they’ll find it more difficult next season.

Old lady will not care so much about what motivation it is but the club is always caring to get the perfect point. This is making the club to perform even better than before. Allegrii never said complicated motivations to the his clubs. He urges his players to perform even more consistent than before. Allegri tries to make sure his club will able to get the trophy this season. The main motivation of juventus to get UCL spot and trophy at the same time. There was no better motivation than it. Juventus might get some advantages once it was winning the game against roma but allegri has predicted there will be a tough game between juventus and roma. Allegri knew that if roma is just getting even stronger after it was acquiring lukaku from chelsea. It's really really good for juventus and all of players.
The old lady shall get three points from roma. It must be the best result against mourinho's team. Im not seeing a better result than winning the match against roma.
Allegrii has his eyes on the trophy and is focused on getting victories rather than getting the praises and that’s one sweet thing that makes him succeed. Now, his focus is on Roma and he’s admittedd how tough the fixture will be and has recognized the presence of star man Lukaku who could be a threat to his defense. Yes, he admits this and want to play the logic game by going into this match as underdogs.

 For this match, I knew juventus would come on top cause despite the home advantage, they're 2nd place in the standings and had to maintain that position, however both teams did great but Juventus created more better chances despite that Roma were more dominant in possession, i think Juventus were lucky to steal a goal in this match and thanks to Rabiot for helping them secure the 3points.

There is no doubt that Dortmund has the potential to re-enter the top four of the standings, a safe zone to appear again in the European Champions League competition. Looking a little further ahead, it looks like entering week 20, Dortmund will be back in the UCL zone. Because Stuttgart and Leipzig will face a tough match, if both teams lose points in two matches, then that will be enough for Edin Terzic squad to overtake their position in the standings.

It is true that this scenario only works when Dortmund can finish their own match by getting full points, by recruiting several new players this ambition is felt to be easier to realize. If they don't move actively in the transfer market, Dortmund must be prepared for all the risks, namely losing their place in the UCL zone when the season ends. Meanwhile, Laverkusen and Bayern Munchen are the two teams that have created a racing axis in fighting for the Bundesliga trophy.
Dortmund are one top team of the Bundesliga and I’m confident that they’ll surely get back into the top 4 standings of the league to head into the UCL. I think the opposition teams would falter and that’ll be a boost when Dortmund wins, one thing i like about them is that they don't joke with the top four in the Bundesliga, they'll always manage to do better and finish top 4 and i believe we'll still see them in the UCL tournament next season.

 Dortmund are falling no doubt and we can see that they need some major signings especially in their midfield to help boost their chances else they’ll might struggling to maintain the top 4 spot even after entering there. We can see that after departure of Jude Bellingham they’ve struggled, i guess it’s time to recruit a youngster to step in and steer the midfield for the team like jude did while he was there.

Yes, injuries will always be problem for football team, but there are also some teams that, when key player is injured, can still play well and maintain the quality of play like perfect squad.
It just that it very rare and so far the only team that has experienced problems with injured players but still performed very well is Real Madrid, no other team can have stability like Real Madrid.
For the European League and Bundesliga, Leverkusen is the only team that is able to perform as well as Real Madrid and of course Leverkusen will always be able to apply pressure which makes it difficult for Liverpool to continue their struggle until the final.

Xabi Alonso makes the best use of the players Leverkusen has and that is why every Leverkusen game can always produce truly great resistance and defense.
Seeing how the two teams will meet when they meet, it is very likely that every Liverpool player will have difficulty breaking through the Leverkusen defense and of course the Liverpool defense players will have difficulty blocking the Leverkusen players attacks.
It great how Leverkusen have progressed over time for this season.
Injuries are one problem football team face and the way Don Carlo has managed to keep this Real Madrid team in shape despite the injury crisis is one part of coaching that needs to be studied lol. I don’t think any team will still be able to maintain stability if they’ve got the same injury crisis as Real Madrid. It happened to several teams like Chelsea, Man United and Barcelona but none where able to manage their squad like Ancelotti did.

 Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen is one wonder too that’s worth watching; the way he utilizes and managed these players and avoid injuries yes, that’s one thing that makes this team still solid. If they’ll play Liverpool in the final of the UEL, yea it’ll be a tough one based on current form but I think experience will come to play in that final. But we must commend Xabi and his Leverkusen team.
