Bristol City - Nottingham Chelsea - Aston Villa Sheffield Wed - Coventry Tottenham - Manchester City Dominant performance and easy 5:0 win for Bournemouth against Swansea today and they are going in next round! More FA Cup matches are played in next four day and tomorrow Chelsea is waiting for Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is in better form now but they dont have good recent H2H record against Villa, losing last two matches in 2023. Man City is playing without star player Haalnad against Tottenham and that is not going to be walk in a park. I expect to see lot of goals and some surprise results tomorrow. My Bet: Over 2.5 goals https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/fa-cup/tottenham-hotspur-v-manchester-city-659d0c20b14b990001c62713Maybe Chelsea will improve after trashing Manchester United legend Micheal Carrick and his lads at Stamford Bridge. I see how comfortable they was and I expect them to do same against the buzzing Aston Villa. Head to Head seems in favor of Villa but recent performance and development makes us hope, Chelsea has got something to show us over the weekend. Hard to Predict between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, both sides have seen them finest players returning back from Injury ( James Madison ) Tough game you see there. Pep Guardiola wants all the trophies anyways lol so, it's a 50/50 fixture. |

There we come again. The Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has informed the club that they will resign their former striker, Kareem Benzenma, from Al-Itthad. I am so skeptical that if this news is right and Real Madrid has signed Kareem Benzenma so how could they be able to sign another strike Kylian Mbappe? Killyan Mbappe is going to be a free agent, despite Real Madrid also having dreamed about his signing. But I think the Kylian Mbappe situation is In my opinion, the situation with Killian Mbappe is a bit complicated, so the boss of Real Madrid picked Kareem Benzema over Kylian Mbappe to make the team better. Kareem Benzenma is one of the greatest pouchers in the attacking sense although Real Madrid already has the experience of Kareem Benzenma. But anyway We do not know to what extent there is truth in these things. But I think the signing of Kareem Benzema is not appropriate for Real madrid because he turned 37 years old and now he can't be expected to play anymore since he spent 4–5 years with Real Madrid. Reference: https://twitter.com/TransferNewsCen/status/1750851319173128658?t=MOUzbhWOri_gsgC12LZpPg&s=19This is false news and no one should believe it, whenever you wanta check updates about the recent happenings in the transfer window and football world, do well to make Fabrizio Romano you plug for the information he gives has got to be 90% correct at all times. Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancellotti has anyways said they'll not be resigning Karim Benzema from Saudi Arabian League Division. This is a pkayer they parted ways with for others there's no need bringing him back it's totally pointless. They've rather come to agreement with Kylian Mbappe but he's asking fee has be reduced. I see what they did, he'll have to perform in his first season to see them increase that figure for him. |

Leipzig finished as runners up in the Champions League group stage, recording 3 wins and 2 defeats and 1 draw. Real Madrid, who will be their opponents, finished in first place in the group stage by recording perfect points from the 6 matches they played, yes, they swept all the matches with a win. Leipzig's task is very difficult to get rid of Real Madrid in the round of 16, especially since Real Madrid now looks better prepared than in the previous edition of the Champions League.
The first meeting will be held at Leipzig headquarters, in my opinion this match will really determine their journey. The reason is that if they can win then they have the opportunity to get rid of Real Madrid, they can play defensively in the second meeting. But if they lose, then I can say they are finished even though they might give a surprise.
Remember that game they played against Manchester City? If you've seen that game then Liepzig is a team one should be weary of this knock out stage. Yeah everybody knows the effects and aura Real Madrid has when playing in the Champions League but they would be like a shocker if they do not thread with caution immediately. Opneda and Benjamin Sesko are two players Real Madrid will definitely look out for in that game. They stop them and they'll have no goal scorers alongside Xavi Simons. Barcelona are currently staggering and not in a stable position to talk about em.if they'll be Champions League hot favorites, they're not going nowhere but let's see to that against Napoli. |

I don't need the ideas of nobody to tell me Victor Oshime is a bad striker why? Because he hasn't scored for Nigeria International. They shouldn't forget he doesn't have the same kinds of players he has with Napoli so they don't have no grounds to compare or get angry over such a player, new set of Afcon based players ( Home Base ) should be employed to play the next World Cup Competition or the Afcon with new set of players eager to play for the club.
The game against Cameroon will be a great test. Nigerians will have to win or run back home. Cameroon will fight to give Nigeria a strong head. I'm still not clear if they'll be ables to win.
Osimhen scored in the first match against Guinea, and it seems to me that it is not worth blaming a player for scoring only one goal in three group stage matches if the entire team scored only three goals. Nigeria has a better defense, perhaps this is what they will build on, Nigeria conceded only one goal in the group stage, and Cameroon conceded 6 goals, the difference seems obvious to me. But you shouldn’t blame a player for poor performance, national team matches don’t take place so often that players can play so well. This is the second time today that I'm seeing a post which the poster is saying that Victor Osimhen isn't a good striker and I can't help but imagine what could be the very source of such claim. Victor Osimhen after scoring in the Super Eagles first game against Equatorial Guinea have never found the net but has been very instrumental to the success of the team so far and that's why I think he doesn't deserve all the criticism he's currently receiving. Of a truth, the primary work of a striker is to score goals plenty of goals of which the Nigeria international haven't been doing in the ongoing tournament but it doesn't mean that he's not a good striker. They should have some difficulties watching football not to even talk about understanding and making proper analysis of the game they watch. I don't blame em you know they can go ahead and write whatever crap they want to. They're entitled to them own Fvckn opinions completely. Victor Oshime even with one goal scored is better than most players in the Afcon. My only wish is if Nigeria had a midfielder like Kudus to link up with him. They have bad productivity and it has not helped the midfielder's and attackers to score goals. If they take this against Cameroon, they'll be faced with nothing but hell. The defenders I can vouch for, but the rest? I think I have a personal issue with the management like they don't know what to do. Henceforth, Ademola Lookman shouldn't be dropped for a selfish player like Simon Moses truthfully. |

Manchester United's downfall is continuing. After getting very poor results for weeks they have dropped to 8th position. I mean Chelsea started the season much worse but they are right behind the Red Devils by only 1 point.  Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed the ownership deal with Manchester United on December 24, 2023. Since then there isn't much change in Manchester United's form. It has been only a month though so I really wonder his actions in the future. Do you think he would sack Erik ten Hag soon? Truthfully I don't feel like Erik ten Hag can maintain his job if the placement of the team in the EPL continues to be terrible like now. There's no change that happened immediately, you'll have to wait until they resume next week fully back to the Premier League Competition against Wolverampton which I believe will be a hard game for them yet again. Manchester United and Chelsea are no doubts two poor sides so far and has taken forever before they bounce back to the top for good. Meanwhile Manchester United jas nothing clearly to boast of this season, Chelsea has the Carabao Cup Competition finals ahead next month. A good chance to see them winning against Liverpool and also Pochetino Mauricio winning a trophy for the first time. I hope they do through coz they've suffered from last season and this very season. |

Today I saw this sad news:
That was very sad news. I won't be able to get Klopp out of my mind when I think of Liverpool. People will continue to remember Klopp as one of the greatest coaches Liverpool has had. Liverpool's current golden generation was all built by Klopp over these nine years. It was a very long time and there were many beautiful memories and moments created with Klopp. I just hope Klopp has a legacy for Liverpool. And I love the football that Klopp has implemented into Liverpool's game which makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch. There are many legacies from Klopp to Liverpool, but the problem is, can the next coach have the same philosophy as Klopp? that's the question. because it's not uncommon for me to see coaches who don't continue what the previous coach has built, it's not failure but it will require the process to start all over again. and if the process experiences obstacles or is slow then they will decline. I will compare it with what happened to Manchester United after Sir Alex Ferguson left. Did Ferguson not leave a legacy? the answer is that he left a huge legacy. But what happens now? Many coaches have failed to handle Manachester United. Padalah Fergi provides an example of how Manchester United should run. I'm not trying to corner other coaches, but I want to emphasize here how changing coaches can be something dangerous for a club. Great idea you feel me, that's something they should look at and learn from. Manchester United after Twenty Six years of glory with Sir Alex Ferguson as head coach did go down to be a horrific experience for em immediately after he left the red devils into the hands of a coach who wasn't good enough for em. Nine years and more with the German manager has come with nothing but great joy, success, excellence and lot of happiness for the team and fans alongside silverwares. Players like Alexander Arnold and Mo Salah would definitely leave for Real Madrid and the later the Saudi Arabian Premier League Competition. |

Ok so where Klopp is going next?
Manchester United?
Hell No! Did ye not see his comments about joining another Premier League Competition side? He said even if he's hungry that's something we'll never see him do regardless of who comes. I do hope he's finally and completely without sickness I'm wishing him nothing but good luck ahead in the new phase ahead. Joining Manchester United the greatest rivals to Liverpool in the Premier League would be purely fuckery. The question to be asked shouldn't be this way but the other way. Who joins and manages Liverpool as he decides to leave? The end of the season though, the management has someone at heart already I presume. Xabi Alonso? Jose Mourinho? Never!! Do defensive, he'll tarnish all the great works done by Jurgen Klopp in the last few years. |

The absence of Mohammad Salah does have a slight impact on Liverpool's attacking power, but Jurgen Klopp must have options regarding this problem. I'm sure he has prepared a special strategy to make Liverpool's attack remain dangerous even without Mohammad Salah.
In Europe League match, Liverpool have waiting the playoff round match on the middle week of February and I sure Mohamad Salah will get recovery and play for Liverpool in 16 round. Liverpool's matches in Europe League still one month later and enough time for Salah get recovery and return as soon possible after receiving injury when playing for his national team in AFCON. Don't worry Jurgen Klopp have many alternative game play exactly when main players injuring and has other option with attacking line position. Liverpool attacking line have many option when Mohamad Salah injury, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Diego Jota will be alternative for Jurgen Klopp when Salah have been absent. We already saw that performance and and confidence from.the Manchester United side Yeah? Without Salah they're also bitting and dangerously great, with Mo Salah? They seem like they even want to rely all hope's on the magician to deliver. I'd appreciate it more whenever they play without expecting to be delivered by a single person bit to play with enough tram work and knock down whoever club that comes them way. With Jurgen Klopp resigning at the end of the season, it's already good enough to see that this would definitely be the last season of Jurgen Klopp. He's been loyal to Klopp since they both came in the club, Klopp moves and Salah definitely must make his own decisions to move. |

Am shocked to see that Barca wasn't even speculated as one of the favorites for the UCL final this season. You are shocked? Haven't you seen their performance in other competitions this season. Let's be honest, they have not be satisfactory at all, and they have just been eliminated from Copa del Rey. I don't think they will go very far in the competition I agree. There is nothing to be shocked about. Barcelona are having a much worse season than the previous one. They are weaker especially in defense as they have conceded more than enough goals so far. They are going to face Napoli which have really effective attackers. Especially Osimhen is a huge threat you know. I expect to see many goals in this matchup first of all. If Napoli manage to get a decent win home first then I think they won't let Barcelona turn things around. Maybe Napoli are also not the same as their previous season version. But I believe they are good enough to get past Barcelona. They have no good enough defensive midfielder and also true defensive lineup for a player like Araujo shouldn't be seen anymore on that line up this season. Ye should have seen him lined up for the club transfer and players to be loaned out but who am I to suggest such a word? Though they'll be against one of the hottest sides in Italian Seria A from last season ( Napoli ) They'll definitely hurt Barcelona with Politano, Victor Oshime and Khivicha Kvaratskhelia all back and ready to hurt Barcelona during the first leg of the Champions League knockout stages. |

Barcelona have also been eliminated from the Copa del Rey by the way just like Real Madrid have. Barcelona also had a tough matchup though. Because Athletic Bilbao are doing a really good job this season. During extra time they stayed stronger than Barcelona. It looks like we are going to have a different champion this time. Actually we have been used to seeing really unexpected teams to win this cup in the recent years. Betis, Real Sociedad and Valencia are examples for that. Atletico Madrid are still a part of this cup as a big team. It has been a long time since they last won this title too. I'm favouring them for the title. Atletico Madrid could be potential winners of the Cup Competition as they went on to defeat Sevilla by scoring a lone goal with the help of Memphis Depay who gave them the winner. Fans and non fans are already saying all sorts of words to Greezmann who has been a good player not just that important to the point that he has cemented his place in the club and it's unshakeable. For Barcelona, the management are right behind the Spardinad but then, he needs to fix his boys and make sure that they don't finish in a poor position. Inaki Williams the Ghanian did come back from the Afcon to score a goal off course for his side. |

We should not think that the Bundesliga is not competitive compared to other leagues just because Bayern Munich has continuously won Bayern Munich in the last 11 seasons, but the competition in the Bundesliga is quite fierce and also the strength of the Bundesliga teams is strong enough so this can be proven when the teams from the Bundesliga playing on the European stage.
However, this season it must be admitted that the competition for the Bundesliga title is quite fierce compared to last season and in my personal opinion, Bayern Munich's percentage of being able to defend the title is smaller than last season.
The competitive nature of the bundesliga this season is really a good and interesting one because we got to point where we always knew Bayern Munich will win the league it did killed our interest in the bundesliga knowing that Bayern Munich will still win at the end of the day, that ability to always been able to predict the winner made the league lost the fun that was supposed to come with the league and every other team except for Bayern Munich, did looked like an average team in the bundesliga because Bayern Munich was always taking the lead ahead of them for morethan a decade. This new change as at relating to the normal that Bayern Leverkusen is doing, is really making people get some more interest in the bundesliga because for once we want to see a new face lifting the trophy even tho we are not sure yet but they have our support for the fun of the game. Before this season, the German Bundesliga hasn't been as competitive as any of the top five leagues in Europe for the past thirteen years. The German Bundesliga have been a one-club show for Bayern Munich as they've face little battle from other teams in the league. I'm very much happy that at last, Bayern Munich is experiencing a very strong competition from another German club for who wins the German league title. Xabi Alonso have actually done a lot of work at Bayer Leverkusen to significantly improve their performance over the last two seasons. Bayern Leverkusen I think is not only a strong contender for the German Bundesliga title but also the favorites to win the league this season All these years they've earned whatever they've achieved not with the help of VAR, match officials and all of that illegal means one can think about, Bayern Munich really won with what they had hardworking and talented players put in between together. They also had good managers and management to fuel whatever need of players they wanted. Most influential and impacting was Josep Pep Guardiola who was outstanding for Bayern Munich and them fans. Hansi Flick also came in to win em the Treble if I'm not mistaken this are the little few I can remember and they made sure the consistency of the club marches ahead and ahead. |

News from Manchester United is about this player, McTominay. Manchester United is trying to sign a new contract with their player because the contract of McTominay is about to end and while McTominay was mostly not in the first squad but he had good performances whenever Ten Hag used this player. So far in 18 games in the premier league he scored 5 goals while he wasn't the first squad in 12 games and this player is already liked by the team like West Ham but Manchester United wants to keep their player for a longer time.  He's been a defensive midfielder from the time of Jose Mourinho and also Ole Gunner Solskjaer. Same position last season but I don't know what Erik Ten Hag has seen innit the laddie. We'll definitely see to that in the long run, I see no reason why's he's not amongst the list of players to be sold out by Manchester United during the transfer window. Scott being the highest goal scorer for Manchester United shows how blunt they've become with them attack and attacking players needs to be checked and questioned. Jurgen Klopp leaving saddens lots of people both supporters of Liverpool and the opposing clubs. Even as rivals, I fanned the German international on several occasions, top man, great character and attitude. Erik Ten Hag was correct anyways, "Era's Comes To An End" |

The Super Eagles are playing average football but they are getting the results. They have not given us the confidence that they can go all the way to winning the title. So far, only a handful of the players have impressed me. The other players have not displayed the skill and stamina needed to play African football. Victor Osimhen gets chances and he throws them away, the Osimhen at Napoli would have scored those goals yesterday but the Osimhen at the AFCON is shooting wide. I think it’s time for José Peseiro to trust his other strikers.
Osimhen is an elite striker. Perhaps, He's not to everyone's taste but arguments can't be made against his consistency & progression across 3 leagues & teams. It goes against every grain of common sense to focus exclusively on AFCON as a test of his abilities when none of the shining stars has particularly come to the fore. Honestly I think we are all only criticizing them because they have not been winning convincingly. Imagine osimhen scored the two clear chances he had in the first game. Then, same in the second and third. Plus all the wrongly disallowed goal will we be saying they are underperforming? Maybe he’s too relax, but he is the best in the squad, you just can’t drop him for another striker. I don't need the ideas of nobody to tell me Victor Oshime is a bad striker why? Because he hasn't scored for Nigeria International. They shouldn't forget he doesn't have the same kinds of players he has with Napoli so they don't have no grounds to compare or get angry over such a player, new set of Afcon based players ( Home Base ) should be employed to play the next World Cup Competition or the Afcon with new set of players eager to play for the club. The game against Cameroon will be a great test. Nigerians will have to win or run back home. Cameroon will fight to give Nigeria a strong head. I'm still not clear if they'll be ables to win. |

You can call that as a luck if girona was only scoring a goal but it's three goal buddy. Mallorca will not be stupid enough to scored goals caused by luck. Barcelona was also losing against bilbao. Glad to see that these clubs were failed in copa del rey. Barcelona has been showing pathetic performance and it was predictable. im always doubting the performance from the big clubs in la liga once they played in the competition like copa del rey. The mediocre club like mallorca was able beating girona with huge scores and this is crazy, barcelona has also recording even worst result caused by the club lost 4 goals. Xavi needs to be sacked as soon as possible caused by this is two times barcelona failed in spanish competition. Im thinking barcelona will be trophyless this season. The bad performance from barcelona was really unacceptable. Barcelona and girona have been getting the same result as these clubs were losing in the last game against mediocre clubs. It's good enough to see that bilbao was able humiliating barcelona. Lamine yamal has been so wasteful in this game as he was missing two golden opportunities. It's bad performance showed by girona and barcelona. But believe it or not, I have read a lot of comments on this forum how great Xavi is as a coach. I agree with you here that he should be sacked and I never perceived him as a good coach. People are confusing his quality as a player with what he is doing as a coach. He was lucky enough to get into this coaching position due to the past he has as a player with the club. But under normal circumstances I doubt that he would now be there. Last season they got beaten in the Champions League in such a miserable way and then he got destroyed by Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. Though he won the La Liga title because Real Madrid was so bad. That was the only positive result about last season. Now I think he will be given the chance in the Champions League and then I think it's possible that some action will be taken by Barcelona's bosses if he gets eliminated early. We don't compare his playing days as a player with his coaching skills and as manager. He did a good job for them last season as they went ahead to win the La Liga Competition and we also saw Robert Lewandoski scoring the highest goals scored in the La Liga Competition. There's so much difference from the numbers he scored last season and exact season. Winning the league is always something that happens to debut managers of Barcelona especially during the second season of them debut managers for Barcelona. Shit happens like that, they failed woefully in the Champions League Competition. |

Liverpool still have many players that Klopp can rely on even if Salah is absent Liverpool's performance will remain the same as previous performances, it's just that now Arsenal's opponents will certainly be a little tougher but Liverpool will still try to win to stay in the Premier League standings.
Even though Arsenal won big against Crystal Palace, it is not certain that they will win only for motivation, it is natural because the team with the victory will definitely have confidence, but overall the Liverpool squad is still fine even though this is away they still have the potential to win.
Because this match is still long and must face Chelsea first before Arsenal.
I am waiting for the match between Arsenal vs Liverpool which will take place in February, it will definitely be a great match, but it is true that you say before that match, Liverpool will face Chelsea, even though at this time Chelsea's performance is not good but it could be Chelsea give a surprise and hold a draw or even defeat Liverpool (but it's hard because the match will occur at home to Liverpool) Liverpool is currently the strongest team in EPL so far they have lost 1 time while Man City has lost 3 times and Arsenal has lost 4 times. Liverpool opportunity to become EPL champions this season is very large. The game between Arsenal vs Liverpool is really going to be a tough match because Arsenal is one team that hate being defeated twice,which Liverpool already did.They've won them one time in FA cup and the other in their first premier league meeting.Now it's time Arsenal belt up to win Liverpool because looking at the games played before,you will see that Arsenal had enough chances than Liverpool,but they missed all of them,but the few chances Liverpool had,they were able to utilise them,and got two goals from it.So,if Arsenal can go on to play the way they normally play,and create chances like that,there is every tendency that they will win the game this time around. You're getting it wrong, because the game Arsenal lost to Liverpool was not in the Premier League Competition rather the Fa Cup Competition as they went ahead to defeat them with two goals to nothing. The Premier League game saw them leaving with the scores all squared at the end of the game. Mo Salah was there to level the scores for the as they went ahead to draw in the first half. Closet to scoring a winner was the shot sent on the crossbar by Alexander Arnold. Arsenal would be at home so I can't say they'll be loser's of this game but I'm sure Arsenal are not losing this game at home come February. |

Onana is having some hard times as it seems. He got degraded in his national team and I think he is not the number one anymore. He is also having some difficulties at Manchester United and now the question comes up whether he will soon decide to change something about his situation. Once being considered a super talent, he is now running into trouble on so many fronts. I guess ten Hag is the only one who will stick to him, but if one day Manchester United gets a new coach, it could also mean that Onana will lose his number one status in the club, too.
Onana was recognized as having good talent during his time in Serie A with Inter Milan and there he had the opportunity to make his best contribution with the talent he had, but as the season progressed, Onana experienced a very deep decline as seen in how he guarded the goal which he really had to guard and since Onana's declining performance meant that Inter didn't really trust him and didn't extend his contract, so Onana left as a free agent and was contracted by MU. After that, while he was MU's goalkeeper, Onana appeared unstable, sometimes he was very good, but sometimes he looked very careless and often conceded goals. I might agree with your opinion as long as Erik Ten Hag is still the MU coach, Onana will definitely stay, but after MU has a new, more experienced coach, it looks like Onana will be a candidate for a player to be sold. Andre Onana faces a series of pressures. Andre Onana's future in the Cameroon national team is unclear as many people criticize him for lacking patriotism, losing form, and not following the head coach's decisions. Onana will likely withdraw from the team again, as in 2022. In fact, Onana's performance has seriously declined since leaving Inter Milan last summer. At MU, he quite often made mistakes that led to goals. Onana's erratic performances made MU fans miss David de Gea and criticize coach Ten Hag. The fact that MU ranked 8th in the Premier League, conceding 29 goals in 21 matches, made fans even more skeptical about the value of the 47 million pound contract with Andre Onana. Despite constantly making mistakes that caused MU to have bad results, goalkeeper Onana was still protected by coach Ten Hag. I also do not doubt that Onana will be eliminated if MU has a new coach. People blame Ten Hag because he let Onana to join the team while they could use De Gea because this experienced goalkeeper didn't have a bad performance during the time when he was playing for Manchester United. But Onana had a much better performance when he was playing for Inter Milan and if he could have the same good performance they could have a much better situation and that's why I think Ten Hag is not the only person who is guilty in Manchester United for Onana. David De Gea would've been a good pair for Andrea Onana, David De Gea since had understands the Premier League Competition in and out and jad more experience than Andrea Onana while Onana who had a great Champions League Competition last season to be used for that competition. Erik Ten Hag has taken blame for whatever flaws they're going through right now knowing quite well that he won't have such bad performance as the season progress and move into a new season. Andrea Onana without much talks is also a good goalie with time the Premier will know how important he can be for Manchester United. |

Hearing the latest news, Mohammed Salah suffered an injury that was worse than initially thought. Even though many hoped that the injury suffered by Mohammed Salah would not be too serious so that Mohammed Salah could immediately return to Liverpool and return to strengthening the Premier League that club, but because of the injury he suffered Moh Salah is quite serious so he could be absent for quite a long time and could be almost 4 weeks, which means Salah could miss Liverpool's match in the Europa League which will be held in February.
But I hope that these rumors are not really valid and Mohammed Salah can return earlier than expected because Salah's role in the Europa League is very important, even though Liverpool is still doing well without Salah, Liverpool and Jurgen Kloop still really need a role Salah, unless Jurgen Kloop recruits a player in this transfer market so that he can be used as a replacement option for Moh Salah, Liverpool can recruit Mbappe from PSG if Liverpool is willing to spend a large amount of money to recruit the French player.
Mo’s injury and it’s effect in the Liverpool side is one story that’s real trending now. Now we’re hearing he’ll probably be out for over 4-6 week which is a big blow especially for Liverpool who’re now on a serious chase for the league title with Man City, Arsenal. Let’s take away the focus from the EPL and look out the UEL where Liverpool are featuring, with Mo absent, I think Liverpool will not even get to the Semi Finals of this competition. I know Mo will be back before then but how sure are we he won’t have another slight hitch? I think the Medical Team will have to try all possible best to get him to heal fast and on time because I don’t think they’ll want to lose grip on both the league and the UEL at large, besides they’ve got a final in about 4 weeks which Mo could probably miss if he’ll be out for that long. When Liverpool lost a player due to injury, it was not that felt on the club because there was an available replacement, but in the long run, losing two key players to injury in the same season is something that the club need to worry about for a while because, at the moment, most of the leagues are in it intense stage and for that, it will be difficult to say if there will be making any significant progress with the absence of the key players who are currently on the injury. Mo's injury is something that will affect the club significantly due to his position and role in the team which can not be easily replaced and for that, it will be a time of much challenge for Liverpool going forward because replacing key players is not an easy thing to do at some point in time. Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he needed the right medical attention to speed up the rate at which he heals from the Injury which he had from the African Cup of Nations Competitions. At least even as they have lost him to Injury, they're still playing well with players like Diego Jota and Darwin Nunez stepping up and taking responsibilities for themselves in the Premier League Competition. They would be host against Norwich during the Fa Cup Competition during the weekend and this is a another game for them to win.. |

 This will be the only exciting match this week and will also determine who will be able to stay in the top 4 of the standings longer. We know that Leipzig was previously defeated by Leverkusen and they certainly don't want to experience the same result even though this is an away match at Stuttgart headquarters. On the other hand, Stuttgart is also in poor performance because last week they lost to a weak team like Bochum and in the last 5 matches Stuttgart only managed to score one win. In fact, Stuttgart's performance with Leipzig is not much different, but what is clear is that this will be a tense match. We know that Dortmund is also aiming for a top 4 position this week and they have quite the advantage because they will play Bochum at home and their victory is guaranteed from the start of the match. But as experienced by Stuttgart, I hope Dortmund can be more alert with Bochum and they must win with a large goal difference to secure full points at home. They both lost the last games they played in the German Bundesliga League Competition and are also both together with a point difference between them. It's one hard game for the both of themselves right now, Stuggart have been good but we do see them slack down whenever they're without the player Serhou Guirassy. My prediction for this game is to see them draw and share the points. Liepzig had a good game which should have seen them winning against Bayern Leverkusen and Sessko scoring but all didn't go as planned. |

I think that Atletico today has a good chance of beating Seville, Atletico beat Real in the 1/8 and it was a great game, and Sevilla lost their last games with strong clubs Bilbao and Girona. Semione today fielded the optimal lineup, he understands the importance of this match and understands that perhaps they are now considered favorites of the Copa del Rey, after yesterday's defeats Barcelona and Girona, although it is worth saying that Bilbao also look very good.
I would also agree with you that Atletico Madrid are more likely to win today and go to the semi-finals. Although now 40 minutes have passed towards the end of the first half, still neither team could score a single goal. But if we look at the match-position, Atletico Madrid is ahead of Sevilla in everything from shots on target to ball position. Moreover, unfortunately, Atletico Madrid missed a penalty during the 26th minute. In fact, I don't understand how a player like Griezmann missed this penalty. They could have taken the shot with Morata if they wanted. Anyway, I don't think there will be any goals in the first half, we will see the score in the second half. Even the greatest players on earth for the past fifteen seasons has lost penalties even when they are important and mandatory for the club at or during crucial periods. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo all have seen them penalties being missed Too many predictions ent on before the game that Sevilla would definitely not get to be winners of this round, so far right now they have held them down. I would want to see them continue with this same way whenever they go on with the La Liga Competition. Atletico Madrid also doing better right now, Sevilla has seen improvements inna way with the coach hopefully they start winning games. |

Kalvin was able to find time in 12 games last year, which is very little time. Pep did not give him many chances, which is natural because it was very difficult for Kalvin to shine when Pep had world-class midfielders. He couldn't go beyond the impression of a good backup. Now it's time to embark on a new adventure. I hope he gets successful results in this adventure.
Kalvin Philips had a time to forget at Manchester city although he won so many tittles which could be equivalent to the number of games he played. The game time at first was due to the fact that he was injured but after coming back I will simply say Pep didn’t just like the playing style because it had nothing to do with his ability. There were matches were Pep could have brought him in but he didn’t and rather went ahead for other options like even playing Bernando Silva or John stones in the midfield pivot with Rodri. Many thought it was because of Rodri form that kept Kalvin Philips out of the line up but it wasn’t it was actually pep that just didn’t trust him and that left him on the bench. Look at Nunez that just arrived he hasn’t had the game time he needs and it’s frustrating again. It was great to see him winning the Champions League Competition, Premier League Competition, Super Cup Finals, Club World Cup Competition aamd lastly the Fa Cup Competition with Manchester United. Right now he needs more game time so he could be picked up for the team that would go on for the next Euro's with England National Team. He'll make a good squad with West Ham with Kudus returning back from Ghanaian national team after a disappointing Afcon for him, they will make a good combination with Lucas Paqueta, Kalvin Philips and Kudus. |
