Manchester United didn’t play like a team who wanted to be in the champions league last night. It’s surprising to see a big side like Manchester United playing like an underdog team. It’s true that they never stood a chance against Bayern Munich but I expected a tough game. Manchester United lack team spirit, I don’t see any motivation in the players to play. Could it be there is trouble in the dressing room? Ten Hag doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with the players.

Since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, this ain't the first time they ( Manchester United ) have been dumped out of the group stage. If you look back to the times of Louis Van Gaal with Manchester United. I think they got nuked out of the competition from the Champions League and then to the Europa League Competition. Last season, some seasons ago with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, they was able to survive the group stage with the brilliance of Ronaldo.

I wasn't expecting too much from them last night because they was a different this season right from the Preseason. Th y don't deserve to progress, the best clubs and sides already moved.

Getting Victor Oshime this January Transfer Window would be damn difficult, though that's a deal I would want to see getting finalized.
Nicholas Jackson should be amongst the players that shouldn't be with Chelsea no more next season, he should either be loaned out or he wouldn't be getting more game time like he's already had this season. Lad killed Chelsea's attack  during the game against Manchester United and again against Everton.
Chelsea have enough money to buy new players including Osimhen but the real problem is the Napoli president who already refused to sell the player last summer transfer window in a price under €200k if I am not mistaken..
Osimhen actual value is €120k and I believe it is exaggerated. His real value shouldn't pass €75k this season since he isn't playing as he used to be nor Napoli performing good as they used to do. Since there is some tension between him and Napoli's staff previously then it might be an opportunity for Napoli to generate enough money to buy 3 or even 4 players to consolidate the team and improve their ranking in the Serie A but also in European competitions..

The president would not be a big deal if truly Victor Oshime wants the move out of the club, one thing I've learned is that it's very difficult to compel a player who has decided in his heart to make his moves amd make further challenges ahead.

I was about saying smile not until I read the stuff completely. You're right, the value is too much they won't want to spend so much but Victor Oshime would be worth a hundred thousand naira. The entire performance of the squad have affected important greatly. They'll never know the magnitude of what they did there to him with that mockery on them tick tock handle.

Lyon did a really good work by beating Toulouse on the previous week. I wasn't expecting them to be that much dominant honestly. Lacazette even made a hat-trick and put a great end to his goalless streak. Because he has also been playing really poorly just as the rest of the squad for a long while. But will this 3-0 win be some help for Lyon to continue winning?

I really don't know about that. Their job is going to be much more difficult next time as there is an away game against Monaco. I feel like this will also end up with another loss for Lyon. Monaco are having a really decent season and I don't think they would lose points to a problematic Lyon home.

They didn't play so we'll despite the win. Three goals that has nothing to do with creativity. Toulouse should lose tommorow after this horrible game they played. They did not keep too much of the ball but they was better and had confidence to attack Toulouse. Those three goals moved his goals to six and he goes above former teammate from Arsenal ( Per Emerick Aubameyang ) who also has five goals in league 1.

They still maintaining same position? I just noticed the position they occupy. The first half of the season has not gone well for them. I hope to see changes, they be too good to be down there. Aubameyang was my man of the week. He had a joint five goals and assist contribution for his club.. impressive.

Liverpool and leverkusen are the strongest candidates. It has proven from their consistency in the domestic league. There's no doubt to pick leverkusen or liverpool to win the game. There will be some names to come soon.
I may also change my mind after i will be seeing the result from the knock out stage. The winner is still quite hard to predict right now.
At least we will not see Sevilla in this season, so the possibility to see a back to back champion is impossible. A new name might happen, I'm rooting for Leverkusen to become a champion since Liverpool already three trophies even though it was happen a long time ago.

With Sevilla bot in the Europa League, we can now push focus to another big side maybe Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and Marseille who are all doing very well. I would rather see Bayern Leverkusen making sacrifices for the Bundesliga than the Europa League Competition.
Bayern Leverkusen shouldn't slack with the chase of the Bundesliga League Competition they have all the chances to win, I wouldn't want to see them bottling the cup at the eleventh hour.

I'd be supporting Galatasaray, they play good football amd have better quality players than Copenhagen, I think they just didn't make good use of them chances. Sevilla are specialist of this competition, if they get qualified, I'm sure they'll win the competition or get to reach the finals.

That's garbage coach. MU is having the worst coach on its history.
Ronaldo was correct Wink

Manchester United with Ronaldo don't have to looking for a new striker, while right now every strikers in Manchester United are complete garbage, McTominay which is a defensive midfielder can score more goals than the striker, what a shame.

Manchester United with Ten Hag, he keep breaking a record by signing Onana and having the worst result in Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo calling out the club was right only that he was under under contract with em which lead to mutual agreement over the contract termination.

Erik Ten Hag was also disrespectful to Cristiano Ronaldo, that I agree. What I don't agree is the fact that too many fans calls Erik Ten Hag a bad manager. If they could do better, then they should take them certificate's and apply for the job and do a better job than the dutch man.
Scott is being given and backed to attack more than Bruno Fernandez, it's the reason why you see, the performance of Bruno Fernandez declining. People who knows ball can not say that Onana is a bad goalkeeper.

Donny van de Beek is a lost gem and since his arrival at Manchester United his performance has continued to decline over time. Maybe he rarely gets playing minutes so it is not a coach's choice, making him have to spend his career on the bench. Maybe we have also rarely seen his appearances with Manchester United since last season and I think it is time for him to immediately leave Manchester United. Donny van de Beek is not the first choice for the Red Devils and under the leadership of Erik Ten Hag he rarely gets the chance.

Currently it is reported that there are two teams who are interested in bringing in Donny van de Beek on loan and those two teams are Frankfurt and Girona. I think if he joins one of these teams at least he will get his place back as a starter and that will be able to improve his career again at his new club later. But it is possible that Manchester United will not agree to a loan status and maybe they want a permanent offer for this player because they certainly don't want to bear the burden of his salary anymore and would prefer to sell him rather than just on loan.

Every good chapter must come to an end finally. Good to see his finally set to fave the new challenges ahead of him. Between Girona and Frankfurt in Bundesliga, the germans have made a more better and direct approach for him which should be a loan deal by the way. A move to Girona would be much better, at least they be playing a much better football and with his techniques and qualities he'll be successful in the Spanish and German Bundesliga.

I read if Pochettino included 7 names in the Chelsea sale market in January. If I'm not mistaken, they include Axel Disasi and Conor Gallagher. I don't know the other 5 names. But Pochettino put the names of Toney, Osimhen and Gyokeres on his January purchase list. Indeed, at the moment Pochettino does not have the players he wants and it should be immediately facilitated by management.

It will be hard for Manchester City to repeat what they did in the Premier League last season because Kevin De Bruyne will be with the Manchester City squad for the long term and it is affecting Manchester City's performance. Liverpool is the real threat to Manchester City this season, Liverpool will want to be at the top of the Premier League till the season ends.
Kevin De Bruyne will probably be back by January next year so we shall see how that's going to change their form. Man City is still looking good despite his absence and I doubt they will drop further since they have "easy" matches for the rest of December. Their rivals like Liverpool will still have to face Man United and Arsenal so I expect Man City to close the gap or even take the lead by the end of the year.
They still performed well, but we can see the difference when they don't have an attacking creator like KDB, so I can't help but say that it affected their performance. From here we can start to see where Manchester City's weak points can then be exploited by their opponents, namely in the midfield. That way, when they can play with a full squad, the opponent will realize which point should be the part they should pay close attention to. Haaland is indeed a very sharp player, but when he is not supported by a good supply of balls coming to him, he also cannot do much as usual. So opponents will begin to strategize so that Manchester City's midfield can be suppressed.
The absence of KDB in the Manchester city squad is felt but not to a very high magnitude. There wouldn't have been much difference if Gundegon didn't leave for Barcelona. The absence of KDB and Gundegon is felt heavily in Manchester City midfield. If not that Rodri stepped up his game, there would have been many obvious lapses.

I am not expecting any special on return of KDB expect that Haaland will begin to score very well as like before.

Last season, a certain time when Kevin De Bruyne was Injured, Manchester City coped to an extent with the availability of Ilkay Gundogan who helped maintained balance. One more player is missing and that's Mahrez who was also sold to Saudi Arabia. These are the players including Jack Grealish making sure they created chances for Erling Haaland and taking three points. It was a brilliant treble winner last season for the citizens.

Kevin would not be back anytime soon, he would be back early next season and how sharp would he be to help push Manchester City back to the first team in the Premier League Competition.?

Girona this weekend will gets easy opponent because at their home they will fight against Alaves and i know as promotion team Alaves performance was quite good because at least they can managed their position on league standings and their position currently at 12th place but Girona records was so fantastic this season because they almost being an the winner for each matches in Laliga and their home matches or away matches records are equally good

The winning result from Barcelona is really make people start to notice them and the players just like Artem Dovbyk, Cristhian Stuani and Savio is became an important player for Girona and they also has successfully to help Girona to performing well for each matches however about the match against Alaves these players most likely will be available this weekend because they are in the good fitness and regarding head to head records this is the first time for both teams to met since 2019 and based on the odds i can see it now Girona is the favoruite with odds @1.54

Two more games to round up the first half of the season, the game coming up at home would be a straight win for them at home with the fans? They don't even want to mess with that great chance given. They made good use of the wings and midfielder's to hurt a big club like Barcelona, with Alaves it's a sure banker. I expect goals up to two and three. Even before the win against Barcelona thry have done impressively well against other underdogs. Against Real Madrid, they did well you just have to praise the defenders of Real Madrid for holding Girona and then force down.

The second fixture to wrap the first half would be Real Betis, I know how they won aside Real Madrid failed to score a goal against fee weeks back, now this is another. I'm sure they'll travel and come back with all three points. My biggest fear will be clear immediately they face Atletico Madrid.

In the next match I think Cagliari will have difficulty because their opponent is a pretty tough team even though Napoli have not had good results lately but Napoli's opponents are big clubs, namely Juventus and Inter Milan, I think in this match Napoli will win, especially since this match will Taking place at Napoli's home ground, Napoli will of course get the full 3 points.
Napoli is currently also not in good condition. But still the level of strength between Cagliari and Napoli is clearly very different. Cagliari probably won yesterday against Sassuolo. Even though I think it was a win based on luck but still we can't underestimate them. Because it's possible that Cagliari will try to make their match against Napoli end in a draw. Because of course Cagliari must realize that they are not at the same level. And again, Napoli will actually benefit from playing at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. As hosts, of course Napoli will play with more confidence. In fact, it is not surprising that Napoli will try to score lots of goals in this match. I doubt Cagliari will be able to create a defense that can withstand every attack from the Napoli Army.

After the win last night against a Braga in a pretty good form, I'm sure they would want to repeat the same performance against Cagliari.
The attacking pressure was soich that Braga scored for Napoli. They should do well to repeat same attitude and energy during the weekend. They might not be in the best fo form, but this would not be the game to see them losing in front of the home fans. Winning this game would shoot em back to the top of the first four clubs in the Seria A.

Former Parisians Midfielder Thiago Motta has really improved Bologna and the game against Jose Mourinho would be tough, knowing well that it'll be difficult without the leading goal scoring player for As Roma and Jose Mourinho. ( Romelu Lukaku ). Congratulations to Victor Oshime who won the CAF award few days ago.

Bayern Munich are officially interested in Ronald Araujo signing:
FC Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tucal are now officially take an interest the signing of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo. FC Bayern are set to sign him on €80M this summer. Barcelona itself wants to sell its key defender to earn money, while among these defenders Ronald Araujo is also at the top, but the final approval of this transfer is placed on one point and that is Ronald Araujo, who does not want Barcelona to leave. However, he likes Barcelona because he has been with Barcelona since his childhood, so he did not consider the offers that he received from Bayern Munich. And let me tell one thing that Ronald Araujo also bought a new house in Barcelona, so it shows that he prefers Barcelona instead of Bayern Munich. But any way, does Barcelona also show commitment with Ronald Araujo, saying no, they will sell him in exchange for money, but Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tucal likes Ronald Araujo to be a part of Bayern Munich. But let's see what happened. What do you think of the rest of the guys? Express your opinion.

Source

Should be seen as pure speculations, this is another example of a Barcelona bound player and would possibly be Barcelona club legend in the future. He won't be going nowhere. I'm hundred percent sure he's committed to the project of Xavi Hernandez and the club. And even if they want to sell a player to fetch them money, he is so solid in defense for them to consider that.

Coaches lately are hundred percent professionals, they would never talk about other players that are not them players. Bayern Munich anyways, has good defenders, they've not just replaced Benjamin Pavard otherwise since he left for a new challenge and exposure.

I really do feel like they need more of midfielder's recruiting to defender's. Well played last night Munich!!

What a shameful performance overall from Manchester United who were not able to qualify in a group where it was also Copenhagen and Galatasaray.In such group not being able to go at least in Europa League is more shameful than what I am writing here.I saw the game yesterday night and it was not a good game to watch with a Manchester United out of ideas at all.Bayern didn't need to win the game at all yesterday yet it is in their mentality to win every game.
I wasn't too pleased with Manchester United performance yesterday. They needed to make a statement and win the game even if they were going to exit the champions league, because the other game didn't end in a draw. But they needed to show that they have what it takes by winning Bayern. It was so disappointing honestly speaking.

You wasn't pleased and got vexed because you was expecting a miracle from Manchester United a side who haven't done well since the Champions League football this season kicked off? Henceforth, if you're a Manchester United fan and you want pleasure and fun, don't deprive yourself from supporting a stronger club until Manchester gain themselves.

Yesterday, I saw both Luka Modric and Sergio Ramos missing penalties last night, fun first half for Real Madrid even if Berlin lead with a goal. I didn't see the second half of the game but it was good to see that Joselu be doing what he was meant to do for the club.

Sergio Ramos will that penalty, became the highest ever scoring defender in the Champions League with seventeen goals. They would be back to domestic league actions to fight for top four or five.

Manchester United are really crying for help these days. They are out of the Champions League by finishing their group at the last position. Now in the Premier League a really tough fixture is waiting for them for a few weeks. After seeing the way they play in a critical game in the Champions League I'm not expectant from them in the Premier League either.

It doesn't look like they will be able to continue with Erik ten Hag. These games ahead would probably be important on determining his future at the team. If the Red Devils collect very few points from these games then I don't see a bright future for him. His time to get sacked might be earlier.

There's no better choice and candidate better than Erik Ten Hag out there currently vacant without a job. They would go through the same process and get to this stage. Liverpool got to the finals with Jurgen Klopp and also lost during the Europa League finals at a certain season. The fans and the media habe got no patience, all they want to see is quick results? C'mon, rebuilds and changes takes time.

They may not survive against Liverpool but the next game ahead they should. I would love to see a good rise in form just like they did at Old Trafford against Liverpool though. It won't be easy but there's nothing impossible to achieve. January Transfer Window by the corner and I'm sure they'll want to see some players leaving and coming.

The fans should have patience and trust the process. Manchester United can not see another manager being sacked. ( A good manager in that matter. ) Everybody fails and it's beautiful to see he has taken responsibility rather than push em on the player's even if we know they don't play like they meant it.

That is our question why Munich is playing with their best squad even though this match doesn't mean anything for them and there will be a risk of injury.

Haha  Grin
Did you expect Bayern Munich to leave them to just win the match like that?
I don’t think it will work because Bayern lost their last League match against Frankfurt so they will not like to lose two matches in a row that is why Tuchel is prepared for the match since they know that Manchester a United will find it hard to qualify even if big they win the match.

Quote

So far Bayern Munich has dominated the match and I agree with you, it looks like Munich will win today and Manchester United will not give up I mean they will score too So both teams to score is an interesting bet. In other matches, Galatasaray is still fighting but there have been no goals so far, it looks like this match will end in a draw.
Manchester United’s fans should lose hope because based on first half performance, Bayern Munich dominated the match which means that it will be hard for them to defeat Bayern Munich; therefore, Galatasaray and Copenhagen match will determine who is to qualify to the next of the come.

Congratulations to both Copenhagen and Bayern Munich. Much hopes I placed on Galatasaray but they couldn't scale through to the knockouts tonight. After the good performance against Manchester United to seal and salvage a point at home they shouldn't have slacked. Thomas Tuchel came back better after the loss again Frankfurt during the weekend games.

Copenhagen deserves to qualify,they gave Bayern Munich tough time during the both legs. Manchester United should try again next year, Ten Hag may have failed but he remains the right coach for Manchester United. I'm having that feels he'll lose against Liverpool over the weekend coming bit that don't mean he should be sacked.

Quote from: Volgastallion
yes nobody expect this resilient Girona, they are very strong, is not easy to fight in the top of this tournament against 2 huge teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and plus one BIG like atletico madrid, and now they are fully comited, this last victory on Barcelona pitch was magic, and yes they have a bit of luck on that missed goal of Lewandwoski.
I don't think Girona will stay in that position for long before Real Madrid will take it back, but there is still time to know who will win this trophy because Barcelona coach is still planning to introduce some new tactics that will help the team to recover from their losses quickly before the end of the competition. But many people are saying Barcelona will not come close to first position and second position but as it stand now, the opportunity for them to take over the position from Girona has be activated which they will start displaying them in their next game.

Despite Barcelona loss in some games doesn't mean they are not capable to win this trophy because, many people thought that they will not win last season trophy until they begin to show some improvement that gave them the opportunity to achieved the trophy last season.

Girona are not after nobody, they're after themselves and their personal development, growth and increase. Real Madrid taking the lead ain't them issues, they just be taking the games and fixtures one step at a time. You mean the Barcelona that just lost to Spanish League leaders Girona? I don't even have a good grasp of what information you're trying to message here.

Barcelona are struggling, they should make sure they work together as a team more like they did last season. I be supporting Barcelona still but they're notmgood enough. The bridge and gap not so long between them otherwise it'll be difficult to climb the stairs to the top. I'd love to see Girona at the top or qualify for any of the European Competitions next season.

My guesses and predictions finally match the expectations about Tottenham vs Newcastle, finally Tottenham can make a comeback by winning three points in this match with a score that is quite satisfying in my opinion. Ange really made changes to his squad that have been proven in this match, with this result it is clear that the fans' confidence will be restored for the downturn in their pride team in the previous few matches.

The first half until before the second half ended Tottenham really didn't give Newcastle the slightest breath, I thought at first Tottenham would be able to get a full victory without having to concede a goal but it turned out that towards the end of the match Newcastle could make one advantage through a goal from Joelinton which finally the match ended with a score of 4 - 1 for Tottenham's victory. With this good result, Tottenham can finally get a little further away from Manchester United's pursuit in terms of points difference. Next Tottenham will face Nottm Forest and I think this will not be a difficult match for them.
The win in this match was essential especially for the Confidence of the Tottenham players and the fans, Now Tottenham could be seen as one top team and a team that would also be gunning for the UCL spot next season. Newcastle who have 2 consecutive defeats now will be do worried especially as they head into the UCL where they need to secure the win in order to keep playoff in Europe which probably could be a reason the team didn’t play with too much energy

 Now Tottenham wins keeps them off clear the sight of Manchester United and hopefully 3 points secured when they play Forest will be a big boost as Man United will have to struggle when they face the league leaders, Liverpool at Anfield after facing Bayern Munich in a UCL match today, i don't think United would survive both games, i think they’ll loose against Bayern at Old Trafford and so lose at Anfield on the 17th.
Totthenham really did a great job winning Newcastle in that encounter.It seems Totthenham have had a boost of confidence since they drew Manchester City when I thought City were going to flog them because Totteham was without most of their star players due to injury.Tothenham will continue their form after it seems they had a little deep in form which made them drop from the first position they were on the table to fifth.

I really see this season as a very competitive season where the people or the team that will win the league is not yet known.At the moment we can't say City or Arsenal or Liverpool nor Aston Villa are favourite for the tittle,every of those teams seems to be in good shape at the moment,and any of them can win the league as well.

Scoring twice should be a big booster for Richardlison since he hasn't found the back of the net already this season. Gladdens me to see him smiling after the game and while the game was ongoing. It was the first time for Son to score from the penalty box since the exit of Harry Kane and he didn't disappoint the fans ans his mates. He ended up converting that into goal. They played well from the back honestly with the return of Romero. He was quite reckless on the ball once again, but he was lucky to escape the red card.

Newcastle failed to prepare well once again ahead of the Champions League clash against Ac Milan tomorrow. I won't be sure what the outcome would be, but sure as hell they be going nowhere into the knockouts.

Aston Villa's striker, Ollie Watkins, has recently attracted interest from major clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool. However, Manchester United has surprisingly joined the race for his signature, prompted by the dismal performance of their attacking players. As of now, in the context of the Premier League, no Manchester United striker has scored more than 2 goals, a concerning statistic for a team competing at the top.
He better to join Arsenal because Arteta willing to give more chances to other players, unlike Liverpool and Manchester United where the starting eleven almost can't be replaced. Arsenal is also lack of striker, if he's really good, Arteta will give him more minutes to play than Jesus and Nketiah.

Manchester United has a problem in their wingers, not the center forward.

For the gunners? They don't need Watkins. Who's suitable for the gunners right now is Ivan Toney. ( The Brentford Player currently suspended due to football gambling. ) I do think that he's the right man for that job Yeah, you're correct about Gabriel Jesus and Nketiah who haven't done enough for himself and the club. Six goals looks cool though but not enough if he believes he can offer more for the club.

Ivan Toney is a strong, intelligent and smart attacker. Good with the ball with his both feets, head and chest, I know he'll bring confidence to the club and his mates. Another role that would need to be filled up will be that of Saka who has been affected by injury countless times. They'll need to find a backup for him whenever he gets Injured. It'll take a long season to solve of the issues with Manchester United.  Recce James should not be a long term Chelsea player, he's Injury has mad him missed important games already this season.
Watkins is one of the best strikers have seen in the premier league this season.He is doing an incredible work at Aston Villa at where he currently plays,although he doesn't have the heights I would want my kind of striker to have,but he is so quick and fast in finishing,which makes him very attractive.I think with the way he plays,he can suit Arsenal's style of play,and I would love if Arteta sign him and sell Nketiah who is not reliable.Watkins will be a reasonable addition to Arsenal if Arteta should sign him.

Another player that I think most teams will look at this season is Ivan Toney,who has been banned due to violation of the Fifa rule,he might be available in January,and I think he will also be a good addition to the Arteta's squad.

You must be a gunner if I'm guessing correctly. These speculations are just arising only because they're having a good time this season ( Aston Villa ) How well can he do same if he's been sold out? Aston Villa would not want to lose any of them key players during the January Transfer. Arsenal have been linked now to both Douglas Luiz and Olie Watkins. I'm still certain they won't be getting any of them both.

Nketiah would be sent out on loan, he's a fine player but difficult to see him up his game for Arsenal. He would be best fit for clubs like Newcastle or Brighton these are clubs you'll see youngins developing massively.

Sevilla team is trying to dominate the match today with ball possession as usual. 70% possession of the ball in 17 minutes by Sevilla's players. And I also saw some good attacks from Sevilla players. Sevilla are playing to win today.
It will be a shame if Sevilla fail out from the Champions league, and also fail to qualify for the europa, which is a competition that they are very good in, and have won many times. They have dominated the game, had more possession and more corner kicks but have just found it difficult to score the Lens goal. Lens have defended well and with an opportunity from the penalty spot Lens take the lead in a game where even just a draw would have been enough for them to secure qualification for the Europa.

The match of Sevilla vs Lens is won by Lens. I expected better performance from Sevilla players. But their performance was average. On the other hand, Lens is playing with the aim of drawing in this match. This team played defensively from the beginning of the match. In 90 minutes, Lens had 34% ball position and only 3 shots. There was  no tendency for Lens players to score goals. And after scoring from the penalty spot in the 63rd minute of the second half, the Lens players did  not attempt any more attacks. But after 80 minutes they created several attacking opportunities. And after 90 minutes Lens scored 2-1 in extra time.

Seems like you didn't see the game at all, you was only judging from the statistics.  Lens defended and attacked in front of the home fans and impressed them very well. Trying to be too careful made them defending too much. Anyways the first penalty was well awarded. The official took a good decision.
Right after that goal, Sevilla attacked from left to right until they got the penalty awarded. Sergio Ramos failed to score the first one though.

I'm proud of Lens for holding down Sevilla, otherwise, there'll be problem in Europa League because the specialist of that Competition arrived. The lead was a mistake from one of Sevilla's defending players who held onto the ball for too long. You could see the disappointed looks all over thr faces of Sevilla player's.

All the teams coached by Jose Mourinho achieved good results, that's why many teams wanted to make Jose Mourinho the coach, even Jose Mourinho, if I'm not mistaken, was reported that there was a Saudi Arabian club that wanted this man to be the coach there, but I only briefly heard about it and if Jose Mourinho There, of course, you will get a very large salary, but it seems that Jose Mourinho still wants to be at Roma. I think that before Roma gets really good results, Jose Mourinho will not leave this club and Jose Mourinho is the right coach with a lot of experience coaches big clubs European League.

I think Jose Mourinho must be thinking about that because Lukaku is very suitable for AS Roma and is one of the important players, he has contributed a lot of goals for Roma so far, but unfortunately in yesterday's match Lukaku had a problem, namely getting a red card which forced him to leave. field but at least Lukaku scored first so the match didn't end in defeat.
Well I think if Jose Mourinho wanted to leave Roma then the big offer from the Saudi side would had made him move over there, I believe he'll move there someday but currently he's loyal to Roma club and devoted to helping them achieve success this season. I also believe he'll want to achieve something with the club to add to his good record and since he was almost close to achieving a trophy with them last season, maybe that encouraged him to stay and currently the team is doing fine with him, if they continue with consistency they could finish top 4 and qualify for the UCL, which is also a good achievement.

 With the way Lukaku is performing this season, he should be one of José Mourinho's favorite players cause he's been very goof at finding the back of the net and his numbers continue to increase in each fixtures they have but however friend i think Roma would had won that game if Zalewski didn’t concede a red card 1st and to make it worst Romelu Lukaku also got booked and now they have to face Bologna without him.

Jose Mourinho would want to at least win them the Seria A title but winning that this season would be definitely difficult to achieve at most this season. With the kind and quality of players within the club, that would not go well. The management haven't supported quite well, next season they should make sure the Portuguese coach has whatever needed to win them either of the league or the Italian Coppa Cup.

Romelu Lukaku has been a supportive team mate since joining and has a good relationship with his teammates. Don't know why he's being tagged to be a bad player though by the fans of Inter Milan. He'll be missing for the next three games though, after been carded against Fiorentina. The red card was worth it though, that was too reckless from Lukaku.

Yes Girona has really shown strength. I think they have a good management in place now. If they can continue this way I think they will be in European football next season. Girona has been showing progress now I think they have announced themselves as a great force in the Laliga
After successfully beating Barcelona, Girona is increasingly confident in catching up with Real Madrid. Now Girona has become a new force in La Liga, beating the popularity of Barcelona and Atletico, their performance so far has provided new competition in La Liga. The main goal is of course to win the La Liga trophy, even though it is difficult to compete with Real Madrid, they will try to record new history since the founding of the club. Qualifying for European competition is a bonus from their efforts so far, of course they are very enthusiastic about securing tickets to Europe, but the La Liga trophy remains the priority.
So many people have underestimated Girona this season because they don't see them among the top four clubs, but Girona has proven them wrong with their wonderful performance in all their matches either with big clubs or small clubs. So many people are saying that Girona cannot be consistent with their matches for a long period of time and won't be able to win big clubs like Barca and Real Madrid but Girona won Barca with 4-2, which was unbelievable.

With their last match victory, I can't say that Girona don't have the qualities and what it takes to win Laliga, because they will be able to make it happen and it will be like a shock to so many people by the end of the season. I am not underestimating Real Madrid but anything can happen as football is full of surprises. Real Madrid needs to sit up and continue winning matches if they want to win this season because Girona is more serious and determined to win this season, it is only injury that can be a barrier to them.

Maybe I did underestimated Girona against Real Madrid even if they played well and during that game and launched lots of dangerous attacks on Real Madrid. It was a good afternoon to praise the worthy and it was the defenders of Real Madrid who won them that game. They made sure of keeping these winger's and attackers far from scoring goal.

Against Barcelona, I never did with the odds in favor of Barcelona I felt they would win the game, as the weekend got closer, I payed more attention to form rather than the odds. They was a better and organized team than Barcelona. I'm also reading Pep Guardiola's brother is president of Girona! How valid?

He must have influenced em Innit? They should qualify for the top four at the end of the season. They should win the league and burst my  brain cells, I'd love that.

It’s do or die for many teams in the CL. Time to shit or get off the pot haha.

The most exciting action tonight is Group A which is really unique because all 4 teams can still qualify.

Both Group A matches will be very competitive. Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Manchester United, all three teams have chances to qualify for the knockout rounds.
Bayern Munich could not win against Copenhagen in their last match. Bayern Munich were not very serious in the match. At least that's what their performance seemed like. The match against Manchester United is also not important for Munich. Whether Munich will try to win this match cannot be said for sure. This is why, even though Manchester United are relatively weak, they have a slim chance of winning. However, if the match between Galatasaray and Copenhagen is not a draw, Manchester United have no chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds.

They've successfully qualified so they failed to take that game too seriously, but tonight against Manchester United? I don't see them go soft on Manchester United. Do you know what? I would love em to defeat Manchester United so they won't qualify for the knockouts. If they fail to do that and Manchester United wins then, good to me likewise.

Copenhagen and Galatasaray are good teams but Galatasaray are not too consistent with the qualities of players inside the club who have played for top European sides before moving to the Turkish league. Tonight I can not say, let the best sides win.
