Harry Maguire often makes mistakes. In fact, I think his worst performance was last season. And at the start of this season it's still the same. But I think in the last few games he has improved a little. In fact, he tends to be better than the other English squad defenders. Even in his last match with Man Utd he was also able to help the attack line by making 1 assist. But Harry Maguire's weakness is that sometimes he makes too many fouls which can endanger his team's goal. But to be honest, I also hope he leaves Man Utd. Because it seems like he doesn't fit in there. He seems to need a club with player competition that is not too high. Meanwhile, at Man Utd, we know that the competition between players is very fierce. And sometimes this is what makes the squad unable to play well.

Maguire is no longer the record holder for the number of mistakes in Manchester United, because this season he has a worthy opponent, this is Onana.)) In fact, Manchester United have a lot of problems this season, and Maguire is not the worst of them. Can we say that Ten Hag failed this season, perhaps, but the beginning of the season is a failure, that’s for sure. And you shouldn’t hope that something will change and the team will start winning, it’s difficult in this situation, it seems to me that he doesn’t know what to do next.

Too many judging Manchester United season when the season hasn't gone halfway, is that a good way to approach the situation?
This is October just two months since the start of the league, at least we should see how Manchester United navigates towards their goals.
Just like Erik Ten Hag has said, all of the challenges gives him a second chance to re-access the options he has.

Harry Maguire haven't played too much games though, only a few, and when playing for Manchester United you could see he plays without confidence and composure. My prayers are with Onana to have a quick turn around. LoL.

I really like Arsenal as well. The progress they have made so far is just marvelous. They are even considered as the 4th biggest contender for the Champions League title by bookies now. However I see one thing in Arsenal that could create a big problem for them when they face bigger challenges in the tournament. That thing is the lack of experienced players in the squad. I mean of course some of their young players have also gained a lot of experience to even lead the team - like Odegaard who is the new captain.

But I think they needed players such as Xhaka as well. They parted ways with him as well in the summer and now they are a very young team. Let's see how far they can make it like this.
Arsenal made it to UEFA Champions League this season and they're exhibiting their very best performance. Gunners are 100% ready to face challenging opponents this season, due to the reason and determination, they won their long-term preeminent rival for EPL title this season with just a thrilled 1 nil winning. That victory really had a positive impacts on the team, Mikel Arteta and his men are ready to boosts their performance in UCL this season. I'm confident they would qualify from from their group, it's not a big deal for Gunners, their main priority is reaching crucial phases in the long run for EPL this season. Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka will lead the team to path of glory this season.
I don't think arsenal having young players it will be a problem to them in the Champions league,  the truth is that arsenal is good in a better form to perform well. The young players arsenal have are really  good, from their performance so far this season I think arsenal are good enough to challenge any big team in the champions league. Arsenal might not be lucky to win the Champions league this season but they will really make a good performance in their in Champions league this season.

Let's get over with this now! Arsenal has no chance of winning the Champions League. That'll be considered an expensive joke. They should focus on winning the Premier League this season and not prioritizing a competition they know quite well they can't win.
They've had a remarkable season last season, so I expect them to use that energy and motivation towards getting the Premier League job done.

I didn't expect them to drop points off against Lens though, they shouldn't have lost that game. They should be very focused when they face Sevilla ahead. Sevilla now has a new coach, so they should expect something different and tough.

You are not wrong, yeah right De Gea chose to resign because the new contract with Manchester United did not suitable with him, the Red Devils cut that player salaries in the new contract they offered. I also suspect that, Bayern Munich seemed not have an interest De Gea, if they were interested maybe we would have seen De Gea at there.

Exactly, Kane transfer fee cannot be used as a reason. If Bayern Munich are serious they can definitely get De Gea although that man's salary is also large, but De Gea will also work optimally at Bayern Munich. Moreover, he has a lot of experience, Bayern Munich will look even more perfect like when Manuel Neuer played for them.
I think the reason maybe Bayern is still hopeful Manuel Neuer can comeback, so Bayern did not recruit an experienced goalkeeper like De Gea.

David De Gea was patient enough and agreed to reduce whatever he gets from Manchester United in other to remain with the club for a season longer but wasn't offered shit by Manchester United.
David De Gea doesn't suits Bayern Munich Criterion. David De Gea might have top potentials with his hands but not same I can day whenever he uses his feets.

The salary and wages of David De Gea can be met by Bayern Munich, they're no small side. When it comes to player management, they're also know to be excellent at that.

Thankfully his injury wasn't a long term one, so I am assuming that him coming back shouldn't really take all that much of a long term, it could end up being ok on the first time he plays, doesn't seem like it has been long enough for him to lose that much shape, he could score right of the bat.

I saw some reports that said Lewandoski will be back before Barcelona's game against Donetsk. I don't know how true that is but I believe it's true. Lewandoski's injury wasn't a very serious one so he might miss only 2 games at most which are the Bilbao game their first leg against Donetsk.
Barcelona has players like Pedri, Yamal, and Balde coming back from injuries after the international break. Although players like Raphinha, Frenkie, and Lewandoski are still injured, this should be a consolation to them for the main time.

Lewandoski and Frenkie might come back before El Classico but then Frenkie would be rushed back which is not a very good thing for the kind of injury he has. It would be better if they lose the match than have a relapse in his recovery
.

I would love to see these two back before that El Classico honestly. Robert Lewandoski to convert goal chances and Frankie De Jong to keep the balance alongside, Gavi and IIkay Gundogan I'm midfied.
I've watched games Barcelona play without Frankie De Jong and the difficulty they gave keeping controls and possession, having him before the El Classico would be such a good plus.

I've missed both Balde and Pedri. Yamal Lamine won't be a problem, he has a perfect replacement if he doesn't makes it up. Ferran Torres suits that right wing perfectly.

Once again there is news about Victor Osimhen leaving his team and this time this is going to be serious and Napoli is about to lose the superstar player who helped the team a lot.
Victor Osimhen had offered during the summer but he preferred to stay and now because of what happened between him and Napoli, he wants to leave the team.
Chelsea is the team that wants to hire Victor Osimhen and they can even hire this palyer in January.



https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/chelsea-victor-osimhen-january-transfer-27928899

I do hope he finally gets to see he doesn't belong there no more ( Napoli ). I'm not a Chelsea fan, but that won't stopp me from supporting his move to Chelsea
Good he was able to stay professional and low key about everything. Napoli already deliberately disrespected the Nigerian international, they can only respect him now by letting him leave Napoli.
If he considers Napoli's position on the Seria A standing prior to the January window and that they occupy on the Champions League group stage. He can weigh them up before leaving.

It'll be better the restart, than focus on a Napoli. Napoli though would want to see him leaving at the end of the season, so they can benefit from his goals scored.

Apart from the Chelsea - Arsenal match I'm feeling confident about Manchester City and Liverpool both to win on this week. Because both of these teams have been losing points for 2 weeks. Their next opponents are Brighton and Everton respectively. Brighton are pretty strong team maybe but I don't think they can handle Manchester City in Etihad.

Liverpool technically have an easier match than Manchester City. Because Everton are still no different than their look in the previous season. In Anfield Liverpool should be able to get a comfortable win.

Can we just say that all of the big boys in the Premier League will end up winning their various matches this weekend. Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool but no so sure for Manchester United. Manchester United are so poor that you'll think they've been managed by David Moyes all these while. ( Why do I keep getting them flashbacks? )

Liverpool? That game can only go easy with Liverpool if they want to make it go easy. Derbies are not always easy as we see them. Manchester City though play Brighton who have found difficulty maintaining balance from the Premier League to the Europa League Competition.
Home advantage gives Liverpool the opportunity to break Everton.

I can only stop gambling if it affects me negatively and not positively. These are a little that will make me stop gambling, I do not need to be lectured when I'm over doing it.

1) When it affects my retirement plans I'm off.
2) Gambling ends the day, I begin borrowing to gamble.
3) Gambling officially ends the day i begin selling luxuries around to gamble

Onana is having hard time at United but that doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper, plus after having a few bad games, players tend to get worse because of lack of morale and he may have lost his focus. When you try to go "this game I am going to be better and not screw up" the chances of you screwing up increases, because you are too focused on not making a mistake and that makes you make a mistake even more.

The new goalkeeper signed for the purpose as David de Gea replacement is having struggles to fit into his new team's system. It's usually normal for every goalkeeper in their first season but André Onana own seems to be worst because he's not showing or making any important improvement. Erik Ten Hag still believes in him to do a better job. André Onana is already screwing things up in his first season at Old Trafford. It's very important he bounced back to actions because he can't continue making significant blunders on the pitch which often leads to his team conceding irrelevant goals.

If i was to suggest, I will say that he Onana should be on the bench for sometime and let the second goalkeeper start the matches. This might make him feel bad that he is about to lose his position as number one and he might wake up and start taking his job very serious because I don't see him like someone that knows that he is messing up with his career in Old Traford. I don't know why Onana is finding it very difficult to coupe in United compare to his brilliant performance in Inter last season.

Sick and exhausted of talks related to Manchester United, you know right? They complete dead club whoever supports Manchester United still is indeed a die hard fan.
Onana dropped or not will not chase the glazers out of the club, thats got to be the long term plan all over.
Indeed still dropping Onana this weekend seems like a beautiful plan, he hasn't boosted the defense and the defense haven't done so. Most Manchester United fans now regret supporting the exit of David De Gea.

At Anfied, Liverpool are Gladiators. But the fact that it's a derby game makes it tough, Everton would be ready to share points with the reds which is not being considered by Liverpool.
2710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 18, 2023, 04:47:44 PM
Actually, Ten Hag is a great coach, it's just that Man United needs a lot of time to change it, it can't be done in one or two years, the most important thing is that management must have full support. And it's true, as you said, many Man United players make blunders and what's worse is that the players don't learn from experience because they make the same blunders in other matches.

Yes, that's right, Onana is a player who makes a lot of blunders, he makes blunders, his catches don't stick, his reflexes are not good, let alone one-on-one goals, for example against Nottingham and Arsenal, not to mention his own. blunder during a Champions League match. Actually, I hope that at that time Man United will recruit Diogo Costa from Porto because he has good reflexes and good build-up, but now Ten Hag has to be smart in maximizing the existing players by continuing to develop.
Erik Ten Hag tenure have surpassed two seasons and we are yet to noticed any changes in the Red Devils. We are watching the exact same Old Trafford playing football again and again, with absolutely no new pattern. The only change observed are the players but things will fall in place in due time for Erik Ten Hag who's also not relenting as he concentrates completely on a new team. The only mistake committed by Erik is making inappropriate signings and also having issues with players, which is regarded as a very bad behavior as headcoach.

Erik Ten Hag hasn't surpassed two seasons with Manchester United, that was his very first season with Manchester United and he was successful after passing through challenges with the squad at the very beginning.

Last season at this time would Manchester United are were already making little steps to the top four sides on top of the Premier League table. Erik Ten Hag is been affected negatively with the Injured players.
Not much to say about his signatures, I want.to give them to the end of the season before I can access and judge.
2711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 18, 2023, 04:38:57 PM
In my opinion, there are two biggest candidates right now. I think one is Xabi and the other is Zidane. However, it is not time for change for Ancelotti, Real Madrid is still showing a successful team performance. It would be a big surprise and I would be very surprised if he leaves office, but to be honest, there is no change in sight at the moment.
With Carlo Ancelotti confirmed to leave Real Madrid next season, Real Madrid may have already decided who will be their club's next manager. Zinedine Zidane has already been in charge of Real Madrid for a few seasons and he has brought success to Real Madrid as long as he has been in charge of Real Madrid so of course he might want to come back to Real Madrid next season and Real Madrid will accept him. Zinedine Zidane was offered by many clubs but he did not complete the contract with any club which may be one of the reasons for his return to Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso, Zinedine Zidane There is no doubting the skills of this duo, but of the two, I prefer Zinedine Zidane to be the next manager of Real Madrid.


Disregard whatever you hear related to Carlo Ancellotti leaving at the end of the season, he has directly confirmed and denied such claims even if he is trying to be professional. He still has a contract with Real Madrid and that standstill.
Zidane has experience but I don't not see him taking the job he personally resigned from. It's time Real Madrid move focus towards the Spardinad, Xabi Alonso. He has achieved a great feet from last season even of there's no evidence ( Trophy to back all he has done yet )

Zidane already had a good time with players like Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Modric, and Toni Kroos. Chance should be passed to a player that knows how to best works with yougins.

A Champions League title can change the transfer plans of Kylian Mbappe. The club might decide to give him a more lucrative contract that might make him reconsider his position. But I also think that Mbappe is also in search of personal achievement. I feel that one of the reasons why Real Madrid is his first choice is because a player can easily win the Ballon d’Or. It is also possible that he could also win it if he helped PSG to win the prestigious trophy.

But as we all know the Champions League is still in the group stage and the performance of the French outfit is not encouraging. The club have been struggling to establish itself as the true favourite of Group F, having lost a game and won one. But from Mbappe's blatant refusal to sign a new contract, one can just assume that he is no longer interested in playing in the Ligue One, maybe he needs a new challenge somewhere else. Another section of the media believes that he has already entered an unofficial agreement with Real Madrid, so will definitely join them next season.  

Winning the Champions League would be peng though but for his own development, I would suggest he makes the switch to Real Madrid important than any other thought. Every player with Cristiano Ronaldo as them idol would want to win the Ballon d'or just like he did.
He should get that too, he needs that Ballon d'or to beautify his football profile.

It's Real Madrid or nothing of I was Kylian Mbappe, another club that would make me reconsider my decisions would be working with Pep Guardiola. Though, he would want to be the prime target all the goals comes from.
Move to Real Madrid should have already been sealed if only Kylian Mbappe kept his side of the bargain.

Honestly my biggest favourite for the Europa League title is Liverpool. They really care about this tournament on one hand. Because basically they are prioritizing the English Premier League. As they aren't a part of the Champions League also it might be hard to predict what they can do before watching them in the Europa League.

However I'm contented with what I have seen until now. Klopp is just focusing on resting his main players as much as possible by subbing them off early or subbing them in a little late in the game but this still doesn't affect their result badly.

After Liverpool I can show Roma and Leverkusen as the other strong title contenders. I'd put Roma ahead of Leverkusen despite Xabi Alonso's great work. This is because of Roma's performance with Mourinho in the European competitions in the last 2 years.  Smiley

Good Good! Liverpools your favorite to win because you fan of Liverpool football club? Or because they have a good squad to win the Europa League Competition? I would love to see reasons honestly.
If they prioritize the English Premier League, then they should win that over this Competition. Europa League is challenging and third place occupants from the Champions League would be back to dance with Europa League group stage qualifies, it will be difficult.

Klopps a good coach, but you see here, he lacks good defeders, Konate is the only defender I can boast for the rest are complete dead players. And you know what a team would be like with a a good defense.

As Roma and Bayern Leverkusen are both clubs I want to see qualifying for the Champions League next season,not to fight over Europa League.

Rapper Drake lost $850,000 on Logan Paul's fight with Dillon Danis - despite backing the right man to win. Paul took on Danis over six rounds last night alongside KSI's defeat by Tommy Fury in Manchester. Paul dominated the first five rounds before Danis was disqualified in the final session for attempting to choke out his rival. Paul was declared the winner - but not by knock out as Drake had predicted. The rapper, who is seen as something of a curse given his poor gambling record, had staked $850,000 (£700,000) on Paul to win by stoppage and would have collected $1.3million (£1m) had he been successful.

David Raya was also a target for Manchester United but ended up choosing Onana, which in my opinion choosing Onana was a mistake. Today Raya proved that she is better than Onana, very clear and comparable over the last few kagas. Manchester United has again made the wrong decision in choosing a goalkeeper. There is a lot of praise that David Raya can get with Arsenal considering that if Arteta has given him a place and continues to be used as a starter, it means that Artets has great trust. It is possible that a permanent option will be realized next season. Ramsdale may have to be willing to share space because after all this is a risk he has to accept.


I think Onana is not a bad choice but it was unnecessary for sure. It is difficult for any new player at the beginning at United. At United , pressure is huge and right now Onana is under a huge pressure. I would say Onana hasn't adjusted well at United and needs a bit more time in my opinion.

Raya also could have been a good choice but the difficult part is Brentford doesn't wants to let him go easily and at that time when United were looking for goalkeeper, United were actually looking for a permanent option and not a temporary one.

Erik Ten Hag wanted and made moves to get Andre Onana from Inter Milan. I don't have a good idea if Brentford wanted to seem him leaving completely or for a short term. He is a good goalkeeper, he deserves a bigger club. Onana has no issues, he has just the worst setof defender's right before him.

Raya is doing a good job for Arsenal, since he started, he already has more than four clean sheets for Arsenal with the Champions League one and three or more in the Premier League.
I will love to see ( Emiliano Martinez ) Aston Villa number one leaving too, he deserves a bigger and better club.

Harry Maguire is not a defender anymore. He is someone who you would like to see in the outfit of your opponent, not yours. After so many incredible mistakes that he made, I am definitely surprised that he is still in the Manchester United squad. And the thing is, he still plays regularly as the first-team player. That actually amazes me a lot. And meanwhile, we have the quote saying that he is still a very important player for the squad. Honestly, I think the coach has gone mad. He should be checked if his mental health is actually okay or not.
yes bro,Harry Maguire is indeed one of the most expensive players after Paul and Antony. Maybe initially MU had its own reasons when buying Harry Maguire in the transfer market even though in reality there were quite a few mistakes made by this defender or defender.
it looks like
making Westham still want to protect 1/3 of MU buying from Leicester City.

There are those who are still being retained at MU, the coach still believes in Harry Maguire's achievements and is joining him to host Copenhagen or even the Man Utd team.

or even coaches are still thinking far beyond what many people think, including funds for new players and time to adapt again to the regular season.

What are you saying? LoL. How is Harry Maguire the best defender in the world? You mean a player that doesn't believes in himself, a player who finds it hard to defends himself? What happened to Harry Maguire spiritually? You should have accepted the offer for the Hammers. Lucky for him to be protected by Southgate.

Before Manchester United, Harry Maguire had no achievements, rather he's been relegated with two different clubs. He got to win his first ever trophy with Manchester United last season. The coach knowing quite well he is not good enough to lead his side, the Captain arm band was stripped off him.

All you have just just said is bizzare and confusing. Conclusion would be that, Harry Maguire is not good enough defender for Manchester United.

[HT] England 1 - 1 Italy

The first half of England match against Italy ended in a draw, Italy played very impressively in this first half, they were able to take the lead through a goal scored by Scamacca. Meanwhile England were finally able to equalize the score through a penalty given by the referee (BTW I don't think it should have been a penalty, because after VAR checked there was no intention from the Italian players to play roughly).

On the other hand, Ukraine is ahead of Malta, meaning that even though Italy is 1 match behind Ukraine, they have to really win the match against England so that their position can be safe in Group C.
Euro group C is difficult fight for the countries there. England already sealed their place in the Euro competition because they're ranked first on the table with 13 points while the rest teams keep struggling to meet up. England versus Italy and the score is 2-1. It's 57th minutes in the second half and both sides are making impressive performances towards each other, Marcus Rashford gives lead to the English side with a goal that made the differences, however there's still time for Italy to reciprocate because there's alot of actions that would happen in the game.

Like seriously, I am enjoying the stunts being pulled up by Bellingham so far, it has really shown that the player has come to stay. It was Kane that was assisted by Bellingham to net the first goal over Italy and now another powerful strike from Rashford as produced a second goal against Italy courtesy of Bellingham.

I know a lot of Manchester united supporters will be hoping if Rashford can score like this for them, but they need to realize that the manager has a pivotal role to play in the performance of the team. I had already envisaged that Rashford and Bellingham will make a great collaboration and this has not proven me wrong.

He's got a high mentality and football intelligent quotient, that was a beautiful one-two play link up with Harry Kane to open up space that lead to the penalty. That was reckless defending too. Harry Kane had the composure to put that at the back of the net, I can't recall right, he must have scored ²¹ Goals from the penalty spot out of ²⁵ if not for England!.

Week after week, Jude Bellingham consistently gives the world a good show of his greatness. He is in the right environment for development. ²⁰ of age with this performance? Real Madrid would benefit lots from Jude Bellingham.

Manchester United fans would, but as well creating chances for his team mate whenever you have bad luck. He's been just too selfish, I don't want to watch a game he does that no more. Fantastic goal too. Poor defending from Italy number two jersey man, he gave him enough space to operate.

I don't think Barcelona management will decide  to fire Xavi. Actually I don't see any possibility of that. Take a look back when Koeman was the coach of Barcelona,  I saw the performance of Barcelona. you know Barcelona had a very bad time. Since Xavi took charge of the team, the overall condition of the team has started to  change. Even with the help of Xavi,  Barcelona won La Liga last season.

And if you look throw this season, Barcelona is  playing quite well. Although Barcelona is not at the top of the table. However you can't deny  their performance  is quite good.

So why would the Barcelona management decide to sack Xavi?
I can't find any valid reason for it.

Xavi was lucky to win La Liga (due to the crisis in Real Madrid) but, for example, Barcelona have terrible results in European cups. If we were not talking about a top club with big ambitions, then average results would be acceptable, but Barcelona, despite the financial crisis and the scandal with bribery of referees that continues to develop, still considers itself a top club, so they need better results. At some point, Xavi may be fired due to results or simply because Xavi still hasn't proven that he has a high level of competence.

I've just read the Barcelona President also has been involved in all of the bribery last season with football officiators. We don't know that completely until a valid information and evidence showing all his involvement in it.
Xavi Hernandez on the other hand wasn't lucky, he worked for it, he earned it. I get dissatisfied and disappointed with journalist who go around so they can get information to sell.
Barcelona worked hard to win the trophy won last season.

I'm hoping Robert Lewandoski returns speedily for Barcelona, they have lacked and missed his presence there in attack.

Actually, I simply do not believe that at this age and at this situation Messi is going to join Barcelona. Because you know he has achieved almost everything he could in football life. So, joining the Barcelona team now only indicates that he still wants to perform and that he has something more to achieve. he has played for a long time for Barcelona and achieved almost everything. That is why his going to Barcelona right now, does not make sense. It is just a rumour in my opinion as well.
exactly. Messi will never return to Barcelona and if that happens Barcelona will no longer get the talent that Messi has again like before.

I fully support your argument because it is true that if we want to trace the history of the reasons that made Messi leave Barcelona, of course we will never associate Messi with Barcelona again because Barcelona finances are a little bad, making Messi have to leave the team and even though its not about money, its about players. who is almost approaching retirement he really needs money in his old age and I understand about this so it will all just be rumors as you say.

Lionel Messi's return would also affect two set of players, when they should be having enough minutes if not every minutes of the game for their growth. Raphina and Lamal both would be affected negatively with the return of Lionel Messi.
The finances secondly would be sent to the ground, to keep a player like Lionel Messi who has a very high technique, work rate, intelligence takes a lot when he was with Barcelona. Barcelona struggling with suffocating finances are not ready to see that.

I know Xavi Hernandez knows the qualities he brings into the squad, but I believe, it's best he creates his own Lionel Messi out of the players present. ( Achieving that would be difficult, but nothings impossible )
