Le Havre shouldn't have been the team to break Lyon's winning streak but here we are. It was even a disappointing defeat like 3-1. Lyon are trying something recently but it doesn't last much long I'm afraid. At least their condition is better than the first weeks. Their number of points was really low before which was making things more difficult for Lyon to fight to be out of the relegation zone. We are in the middle of the season now. They aren't late for anything. However they had better improve their form more to reach a safer position. No matter what the problem behind is Lyon should be able to stay in the Ligue 1 one way or another.  |

Inter don't have any game to play on this week which means Juventus can take the lead from them temporarily. There is a Lecce - Juventus game at this wekeend. Juventus are obviously highly favourite side to win. Lecce are just a team quite close to relegation zone in points. This doesn't mean Juventus can have some complacency of course.
Juventus need to take every single game of theirs seriously from now on if they aim the league title. Because Inter also don't lose points easily these days. Juventus have improved their performance quite much lately. They have seemed more productive when it comes to goals. They should be victorious here.

I really don't like double standards for teams but there is nothing we can do about it unfortunately. Manchester City also faced issues with FFP but they didn't get punished for that. When Everton do a similar thing their situation is evaluated differently. Why do these FFP rules are only applied for smaller teams?
Anyways this season will be really difficult for Everton and they are likely to battle for not to relegate on the final weeks once again. Everton weren't like this in the past but for a couple of years they have been really terrible. At least they haven't relegated yet.

After losing points in the most unexpected game I'm curious about what Girona will do against Sevilla home next time. Sevilla are also one of the worst teams in the league this season. Technically Girona should be able to make up for what they did against Almeria by this game. But will I make a bet on Girona this time? Hell no.  But I feel like Girona will win this game as long as we see their usual performance this time. Sevilla are just really weak at defending these days. Girona can score multiple goals against them easily in their best shape. |

Leverkusen and Bayern Munich just continue on their way strongly. Bayern Munich really need to win their absent game to follow their opponent more closely. I'm hoping to see Xabi Alonso maintaining this performance to become the champions at the end.  These clubs were getting good result but leverkusen seems quite struggling to beat augburg. I know that if augsburg was a strong club, and this is the main problem. Bayern munich has been beating its opponent with huge margins which was showing the capability of bayern to win the competition. Leverkusen needs to increase its performance. The attacking line has been so wasteful against augsburg and this is the fact. It's hard to remove the image if leverkusen was so struggling to beat augsburg in the last match. Bayern Munich also struggle sometimes just as Leverkusen do. For example Bayern Munich were also able to beat Wolfsburg by only 2-1 a short time ago. Wolfsburg aren't a good season at all you know. Moreover Frankfurt demolished Bayern Munich by 5-1 last month. It was a shocking result for Bayern Munich as well. Leverkusen are currently the only team going on without a single loss during the season. 17 games and 14 wins... This is really impressive. I really like Xabi Alonso's team this season and hope to see them maintaining this streak without a loss as long as possible. |

Milan, Manchester United and Newcastle are teams whose names are called with Serhou Guirassy for this transfer window now. However as far as I know there is still no official offer made for him. He was said to be injured but it looks like he is on national duty now. I was curious about the seriousness of the so-called injury news for once.
Anyways I assume we would see some offers for him before the winter window closes. Because he is available by paying a really low sum to buy out his release clause. Teams in need of a solid striker like him shouldn't miss the opportunity.
He is one of the players who attracts attention, with VfB he has scored 17 goals in the Bundesliga and is the second highest goalscorer after Harry Kane. I haven't heard clearer news from the three clubs you mentioned, but there are many rumors saying they are interested in bringing in Serhou Guirassy in this transfer market. Considering his abilities, I don't expect him to leave Manchester United, I'm not underestimating Manchester United, but there fundamental problems often occur and that is risky for a player because it can affect his performance. I am one of those people who believes that the environment or situation around a player will influence it, especially if it is something that looks bad or there is a conflict between the people around the club. Joining Manchester United might not be the best thing to do for Guirassy indeed. Because they are really having a bad season and Guirassy might also have issues about showing his skills easily. It would be much better if he joins a team which is in much better condition. I have heard about Arsenal's interest in him too. It would definitely be more ideal for Guirassy to go to Arsenal. They have been doing really good for the recent a couple of seasons. Arteta would be happy to give him the chances he would like in the lineup I assume. Because technically he is more productive than Arsenal strikers now. |

Now there is no game until Saturday. Even then the games to be played will be of the same week. I see Arsenal and Liverpool being about to play their games at this weekend. On paper both teams have easy games. Arsenal are hosting Crystal Palace in which I expect Arsenal to finish this terrible streak by a solid win. In the same way Liverpool should also be able to beat Bournemouth away despite Salah's absence due to AFCON. Bournemouth shouldn't be a big problem for them while they still have capable players to score. I hope they don't prove me wrong and play properly. |

Mbappe was clearly the star player of the game with one goal and one assist. But I must admit Barcola was also really impressive in this game. It is really important for Barcola to improve his game by benefiting from the chances he finds. He is still young (21) but he finds quite many chances this season after making the team younger with new transfers. Sometimes we see inconsistencies in his performance level but as long as he improves this can happen, no problem. He is technically one of the futures of this team so he had better focus on getting better every day. When Mbappe leaves the team these young players will have a bigger responsibility in the forward area. |

Milan are destroying Roma by 2-0 at the moment. Roma are just terrible in the second half now. They need to play much more active in the attacking line by taking bigger risks from now on. Mourinho must be wishing Dybala wasn't injured because he really needs him now as it seems. Lukaku - Dybala is the best duo in the attacking line for them in the squad currently. I don't think Roma will be able to make a comeback from this point. Maybe Milan have also had some inconsistencies in the league recently but I don't expect them to make a big mistake in a big game like this while having this score advantage. EDIT: Roma have just scored and made it 2-1 now. Can this be a silver lining for them? We will see. Do you think Roma can score the equalizer to get point against Milan in this short time they have left? I think they can't because AC Milan need to win the match since they are trying to gain more points to close some gaps between them and Juventus, because of that, I am sure Milan will not lose this match because they are currently dominating the match by creating more attempts on goal than Roma. It is now 3-1 which simply means a game over for Roma. I was having doubts about Roma to equalize it honestly and they didn't prove me wrong. Milan secured the win after it became 3-1. Roma just can't play very actively against big teams especially in away games. They concede goals easily because of that. I understand Mourinho wants to use his usual strategies but I don't know. I don't believe Roma is a good choice to prefer a defensive strategy in such games. They need to play much more attacking to increase their chance. They concede goals anyway so at least they can answer easier by playing like that. |

Real Madrid must be really delighted with not only winning the Spanish Super Cup title but also Girona's losing two points in the league. Girona were unbelievably horrible against Almeria and I really am curious about the reason why. Because Almeria are literally the worst team in the league with 0 wins and only 6 points. How can you be this bad against the last team in the standings? Girona aren't one of the big teams in the league normally maybe but we all know how they are playing this season. There must be many people who bet on Girona as it was an easy game but lost at the end. |

Another loss of points for Stuttgart without Guirassy. He is still suffering an injury and couldn't play against Gladbach last week. This resulted in a 3-1 loss away. This loss sent them more away from top two teams in the standings. I wasn't expecting them to be a title contender until the end of the season though. But things would have been better if it weren't for this injury. Leverkusen and Bayern Munich just continue on their way strongly. Bayern Munich really need to win their absent game to follow their opponent more closely. I'm hoping to see Xabi Alonso maintaining this performance to become the champions at the end. |

Manchester United was poor at them set pieces, Pedro Porro also had good delivery of the ball into the eighteen yard box. Both Jonny Evans and Andrea Onana couldn't at least save that hola scored. Poor marking poor goalkeeping from Onana.
God! I miss Andre Onana.
Onana accepted to play two games in twenty-four hours and he has left for AFCON games now. He played as usual again which didn't make me surprised at all. But ten Hag couldn't still rely on their backup goalkeepers in a big game like this. Because this game might have ended much worse for Manchester United then maybe. Now Manchester United are lucky that they won't have any game to play until February. In the meantime there is a chance for Onana to come back in case Cameroon say goodbye to AFCON early. Otherwise ten Hag will have to give a chance to one of the backup goalkeepers. |

Such an easy and deserved win by Real Madrid tonight! I was expecting them to finish the job in regular time but this was really much more than I expected. Most people should be thinking the same as well because Real Madrid won by 4-1. Vinicius Junior was the star of the night by making a hat-trick to bring the Super Cup title to his team. The only goal by Barcelona came thanks to Lewandowski but that was all. Xavi had a really horrible night. As it was an El Clasico losing by a score like this will be criticised quite harshly for sure. They must really improve their performance quite much from now on. |

PSG must be really relieved after Lens got a red card right before the end of the first half. Because they were already ahead by 1-0 thanks to Barcola's goal. Now Lens must be demoralized quite a lot. The only thing PSG need to do from now on is to open the goal gap more and secure a comfortable win. Otherwise it will still be a risky score. Winning this game is really important as they will make the point gap with Nice eight by doing that. I don't think PSG would miss this big opportunity while Lens have literally gifted the win to them by that red card. |

Aston Villa made me sad by failing to win against Everton today as my bet lost.  I was actually excited in the second half because Aston Villa really dominated the half. Everton didn't even have a shot on target in the half but still they managed to secure a draw by 0-0. I don't know how there was no goal in this game honestly. The other game was quite delightful to watch. Tottenham were always in the game and managed to score the equalizer every time. Manchester United couldn't do what they did to Aston Villa this time. But at least Hojlund continued to make progress by making a contribution of one goal and an assist. |

Having hope is good, but right now, it's a wrong thing for Sevilla to do right now. How long can they continue hoping? They better level up amd fix all of these issues they're facing, I'd love to blame the management, because, if they had signed a much better manager,,they shouldn't have sank them down to this point on the La Liga Competition.
Props to Alarcon Isco who got to win the man of the match award for Real Betis, despite his lone goal, if you see his team work and rate then he played a big part towards Real Betis winning them game.
The goalkeeper of Granada did well otherwise it'll have been more than three goals for them.
They really made a huge mistake honestly by sending Mendilibar away from the team. Just why would you do that while you have won the Europa League title with him? Besides Mendilibar helped Sevilla recover in the La Liga as well in that season as they climbed so many positions in the standings. But still the board were in a hurry to sack him a short time after the new season started. If you take a big risk like this then you have to bear the consequences as well. This is what Sevilla are doing now unfortunately. I wish Mendilibar came back soon but I don't feel like they will do so. Because if they did they would have done already after sacking Diego Alonso. |

There is an Everton - Aston Villa game as well today. Everton are having really tough days recently. After 10 points have been removed from them by federation decision they must make more effort to get away from the relegation zone. Actually they had a good form some time ago but they started a losing streak again. They lost their last three league games so I don't know how much they were able to improve their morale in this two-week break. I think Emery will make a good return with his team today. I hope to see them winning today as I have placed a bet on them. |

Because Sancho is already very familiar with this team and the environment around here. He shouldn't have any problem with adaptation in the end. In addition to that Dortmund would really make use of his talent a lot as soon as Terzic starts using him. Just because dortmund was his former club and it doesn't mean he can adapt to the club easily. It's not like what you are saying about that. Jadon still needs time to know his teammates and terzic will not be stupid enough to give him a chance to play. Sancho was not yet ready to play as starting line up. Give him sometimes and you will be seeing terzic to put him in the game. But he actually did unlike your opinion. He was given a chance in the first times of the second half and in only around twenty minutes he made an assist to the relieving goal for Dortmund. In addition to that his rating at the end of the game was 7.2 which was pretty good when we think it was his first game with the team. But we will see how consistent he will be able to play in the rest of the season as well. I just feel like Sancho really missed to play for his old team. I hope to see him making a high effort from now on to earn his place in the starting eleven too. |
