Of course Al Hilal recruited these two players because they believed they could strengthen Al Hilal in the Saudi League, but it turned out that Neymar could not be expected at all because he was injured and he is a failed Al Hilal recruit. So he had to be dropped from the Al Hilal squad so that Al Hilal can recruit new players from Europe, but even so, Al Hilal is still performing well even without Neymar because Alexsander Mitrovic is able to play very well in the current Al Hilal squad and is able to score many goals for the Al Hilal club.
Meanwhile, Karim Benzema has not made a good contribution to Ittihad, perhaps because of the lack of players who help Benzema in creating opportunities so that Benzema has a little difficulty in scoring goals.

Al Nassr has not been able to catch up because so far Al Hilal has not experienced a defeat at all, while Al Nassr has experienced 3 defeats, so Al Nassr has to wait for Al Hilal to experience the first and second defeats so that the difference between Al Nassr and Al Hilal becomes smaller.


Alexander Mitrovic and Neymar Jr were signed to lead the attacking line of Al Hilal this season but the latter's effect on the Saudi team this season has been limited as a result of the serious injury that he picked and according to reports, he's unlikely to feature for the club this season again but his absence has not really affected the performance of the Saudi league leaders who have continued to be impressive while leading Saudi Pro League standings. Mitrovic is delivering the goals for the club as his number of league goals for the club has hit double figure and is only bettered by that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Talking about Al Nassr's quest to catch up with Al Hilal, i think it'll be extremely difficult for them to catch with Al Hilal before the end of the season but that doesn't mean that it's not possible. They'll have to continue winning their games while hoping that the league leaders drop points to catch up with them.

I think Arsenal could be one of the top four teams in the league, but I know Arsenal's goal is more than the top four. That's why Arsenal is still racing for the title. Together with a quality striker, they will increase their chances of achieving this. The league title is very important for Arsenal because they have been trying to get it for years.

Arsenal would most likely be amongst the top four teams when the current season ends. And yes, their aim is much more than just finishing amongst the top four. Last season, they played well but sadly couldn’t maintain the lead and fell behind, giving Manchester City the lead and ultimately the EPL title last season.
They’ve been somewhat inconsistent in their performances and have lost out on some games that they would have ordinarily had won. They still have a shot at the title but they do need to step up in their efforts. I do think they’ve got the right players  to get them where they need to be. The top of the table.
Arsenal started the season in a very good note and I was one of the people who thought they're gonna have a better season than they did last season but with their recent performance and the fact that they lost their last two league games, I'm not too convinced again that they're gonna finish the season in the top four of the English Premier League table. The manager of the club Mikel Arteta must come up with a different tactical idea that'll bring out the best from his players than what he's currently using.

Arsenal are without doubt one of the best four teams in England at the moment but I also think that they're very beatable at the moment and if they don't improve in their performance, Arsenal might just not be able able to finish the season in the top four spots of the league table.

Congrats to PSG on their win over Toulouse by 2-0 in the Super Cup match.  Smiley  They deserved that win by finishing the job in the first half already. They let Toulouse come much more in the second half and PSG literally did nothing in terms of trying to score another goal. But still Toulouse couldn't take advantage of this chance. Luis Enrique must be happy to have won his first title with the team as well. Maybe it isn't a very challenging match considering the quality gap but still a title is a title.  Smiley

I'm so happy for Enrique for winning the match because after beating Toulouse with a 2-0 result and the good performance PSG had, now Enrique has achieved his first prophy with PSG. Since Enrique joined PSG everyone has been expected to see him win the French League and people were also expecting him to have a much better performance in the Champanipos League, but now PSG won the French Super League with this new coach, however, I think this game was not a hard match for a team like PSG considering the players they have in this team.

 
It's no longer news that Paris Saint Germaine defeated Toulouse yesterday to win the Trophée des Champions yesterday which automatically became the club's manager Luis Enrique''s first trophy with club.
His facial gestures after the final whistle clearly tells how happy the Spaniard was to lay his hands on a trophy as Paris Saint Germaine manager. With the current performance of his team, I'm very sure they're not even gonna finish the season with just the TDC but will further win few more trophies. They're at the top of the league table and looks set to retain the title once again but it'll be a greater achievement for Luis Enrique and the whole club and her fans if they can go on to win the UEFA champions league trophy this season.

Fikayo Tomori was recently linked to Bayern Munich and this player was very close to joining the team and playing for Tuchel, especially after the new year.
But the contract between Fikayo Tomori and AC Milan has not expired yet and he can only leave this team after 2027 unless AC Milan lets him leave.
But Ac Milan rejected the offer they got from Bayern Munich and they said they are not going to sell this payer because they don't have enough defenders already.

 
Before he left Chelsea to join AC Milan, Fikayo Tomori wasn't considered a world class defender but since he moved to AC Milan, the England international has significantly improved in his performance and is now regarded as the best defenders in Italy.

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is one manager that has his own preferences when it comes to players' style of football and that's why he's not too interested in regularly playing Dutch defender Matthijs de Ligt despite the player's reputation as one of the best defenders in Europe. It's been reported in the media that the Dutch international is likely to leave the club this year and I think Tomori is the manager's preference for his replacement should he leave the Allianz Arena

Salah will probably be sold to a Saudi Arabian team this summer. A Saudi Arabian team made an offer for him after the summer transfer window was closed as well by the way. But Liverpool didn't accept the offer despite its being a gigantic one. Because it was out of transfer window for Liverpool so they wouldn't be able to transfer anyone to fill his place right away.

But this summer Liverpool could be open for offers. While they have an opportunity to make a lot of money by his transfer they should do this. Salah could also be keen on leaving depending on the amount of contract offer.
It's all just speculation because if Liverpool succeed in winning the English Premier League and also other titles because they are currently playing in the semi-finals of the League Cup and there is still the FA Cup and the European League then Mohammed Salah will probably remain at the club for a long time until his contract is finished, because I see It's rare for a club to sell key players who have succeeded in bringing the club to victory because of course there will be a lot of changes and the new players they buy won't necessarily perform as well.
This season, Salah's performance is still at the top level with 14 goals and 8 assists in the English Premier League, with what he has provided, will Liverpool easily let this player go? In my opinion no and only an offer above 100 million euros will make Liverpool want to let him go, and in my opinion with his current performance even 100 million euros is still cheap for Salah.
Liverpool are currently doing exceptionally well this season and are strong contenders to win not just the English Premier League title but also the UEFA Europa League trophy as well as the English League Cup this season but I don't think that winning all these titles is gonna make whoever wanna leave the club to stay back rather it'll provide the best moment for whoever that wants to leave the club to take a bow after a very successful season.

Mohammed Salah was contacted by Saudi Arabian clubs last summer and he made it clear that he's free for negotiations but that can only happen if Liverpool approve it. Liverpool's management was contacted but they declined the request and that was what stopped any further negotiations concerning his proposed move to Saudi Arabia. For Salah to have given them the go-ahead order to meet Liverpool's management, it means he's interested in leaving Anfield for Saudi Arabian club. Liverpool I know would prefer to have Salah leave the club when they can still get hugely paid and that's why I think they'll consider allowing him leave this summer instead of seeing off his contract at the club and leave for free.

Girona won the match against Atletico Madrid in the last match and stayed in the second place in the points table with 48 points. On the other hand, Real Madrid won the match against Mallorca and stayed at the top of the points table with 48 points.
Girona remains one of the La Liga best team because there performance and consistent wining has given them the privilege of being respected on this season because this season is there best season, perhaps they never had this kind of performance on La Liga before and I'm sure they are even surprised with how far they have gone and the big teams they were able to win.

You are right there match against Atletico Madrid was actually very surprising with the way Girona perform against them by scoring on the 2 minutes of the match which Atletico Madrid later equalize on the 14 minutes and Girona scored again on 26 minutes putting Atletico Madrid on a very tight corner and before the end of first half Girona had already score 3-1 against Atletico Madrid, so it was a very interesting match to watch and seeing how impressive Girona has become.
Sometimes this season, I think after the match week 7 of the Spanish La Liga campaign, someone said in this thread that Girona impressive performance is gonna be short lived and his reason of that was that he they don't have the needed number of quality players to maintain such impressive run and just like I suggested to him, Girona are still doing amazingly well after going past the first half of the season.

After they fought and defeated a big side like Atletico Madrid yesterday, it became more obvious even to those people that never believed in them in the beginning of the season that Girona are in for a serious business this season and are capable of ending the season with the Spanish La Liga title

If someone often watches the Champions League and Ligue 1 then it can seem very easy to judge because they used to have the best strikers in the team but there wasn't much they could do in the Champions League. In the Champions League, the strongest team may not necessarily be able to win, especially if PSG only relies on Mbappe individually because the Champions League is quite different from any other league, apart from experience it also requires collective player maturity.

For me, PSG is not the favorite team in the Champions League because there are many things they need to evaluate. Maybe we need to wait a few seasons so that Luis Enrique can bring PSG into a strong team and that depends on how management gives him the opportunity to manage PSG.
Favorites teams, Paris Saint Germain doesn't come close, it was 2 seasons back that we were able to sketch Les Parisiens as a potential club to win the UCL title. However they will keep making attempts until one faithful season, they will be crowned Champions of the UEFA Champions League which is regarded as the best trophy for club levels. Every UCL season, PSG makes it but they're unable to win the trophy, I keep asking myself this question repeatedly, why should we become surprised knowing fully well the standard of PSG and their incapability to win.
Paris Saint Germaine are undoubtedly the best French team at the moment and have dominated the French football for almost the last one decade but one thing they're yet to do is to win the UEFA champions league competition. In recent years, Paris Saint Germaine's management has spent hugely to sign the best players in the world to the club and despite all these efforts of the management, Paris Saint Germaine are yet to have a taste of how it feels to be a European champion.
Their current manager Luis Enrique is already a winner of the competition and we believe he's gonna steer them to greatness in no distant but that's if the club management will continue to believe in the Spaniard's managerial experience.

AC Milan might be on the list of favorites to win the Europa League title in terms of teams, but Liverpool and Leverkusen are the favorites based on current performances. AC Milan is a better performing team compared to Leverkusen but this season is not for them as their performance is not good at all this season. Leverkusen and Liverpool have been in the best form this season so it wouldn't be a surprise if either of these two teams were to win, and it wouldn't be a surprise if the two sides met in the final. I would consider Liverpool as favorites for this season at least and if they don't perform too badly then Liverpool could win the Europa League this season.
AC Milan, Liverpool, and Leverkusen are the favorite teams to win Europa League title. They have quality players on their squad, they also have good experience in international matches. So, no doubt that they are superior against other teams in Europa League. However, we can't underestimate other teams, smaller teams are impossible to eliminate bigger teams. AC Milan and Liverpool performance look not really stable in international matches, they also look not in their best form in domestic leagues. I only see that Leverkusen is the most stable team in the term of performance. So, Leverkusen should be the most favorite team to win the title.


I doubt Milan's performance. I'm not sure if Milan can win the European League title because in my opinion the clubs that are more favorite are Liverpool and Leverkusen. Indeed, in terms of squad, Milan and Liverpool are superior because they have top players compared to Leverkusen, but the players Leverkusen are able to work together well and compactly so that their solidarity is very high and indeed so far the performance of the Leverkusen players is still extraordinary under the guidance of Xabi Alonso so in my opinion it is possible that Leverkusen will be favorites in winning the title this season, whether it is the league trophy Europe or the Bundesliga.

If you talk about Milan not being very stable, I think that's right, but if you say Liverpool is not very stable, I think you are wrong because Liverpool is still quite stable in the domestic league, even they are in 1st place with only 1 defeat so far, and It is true that Leverkusen is still quite consistent and unbeaten to date and that is a good achievement.
Historically speaking, AC Milan is one of the most successful European clubs and that I think also gives them a little advantage over some of the teams in the UEFA Europa League competition this season but I still don't see them as one of the first two favorite teams that can win the competition this season season. Considering the current performance of all the teams in the competition, I think there's no doubt to the fact that the top performing teams the competition this season are German club Bayer Leverkusen and English Premier League side Liverpool.

The two teams are not just doing well in the Europa League competition but are currently topping their respective leagues and that I think goes a long way to tell how consistent they've been this season. The two clubs are currently flying high and determined to finish the season on a high and winning the Europa League trophy is definitely one of their top targets. I'm not saying that they're definitely gonna win it but I'm saying that they're undoubtedly the best two sides in the competition at the moment.

PSG has been rumored to be targeting several talented players in the transfer market which will soon open. So this will have an impact on their performance in the future. PSG may be quite strong in the front line at the moment but not in other lines.
It's very possible PSG gets to buy talented young players who can help.the team achieve that which they are aiming to achieve because PSG has got the financial capabilities so it wouldn't really pose so much of a challenge to them.as it would be with other small teams in the Ligue 1 this season.
Of course, they will not have problems with their finances in getting new talents who are still young and reliable. on the other hand, they also need an experienced and talented players in several lines. moreover,  The problem is also if they really lose Mbappe, who will be able to replace him in that position. This will definitely be a big work for Enrique to return to managing the club so that it remains able to compete strongly. Not only in the French League because that won't be a big problem, but especially for UCL matches which are certainly very prestigious.
The reports of Kylian Mbappe's potential departure from Parc des Princes heightens on daily basis and that's why I think it'll be difficult to keep the France international at Paris Saint Germaine beyond the summer. The club I believe is scouting for young talents that'll replace Kylian Mbappe when he eventually leaves the club in the summer. But for a player of Mbappe's quality and importance, it'll be very difficult to find a perfect replacement.
 
The club's manager Luis Enrique is one of the most experienced managers in France at the moment and I'm optimistic he'll still be able to manage Paris Saint Germaine well should their current best player Kylian Mbappe eventually leaves in the summer.

I don't sure with Chelsea performance in this season will get Champion League spot standings because their performance inconsistency and unpredictable result against mediocre teams with losses many points. Current points left with Arsenal on the fourth standings is 12 points and its not easy for Chelsea if can return to consistent performance. Have two consecutives winning matches in Premier League can't guarantee with promising performance for Chelsea on upcoming match Fulham exactly busy schedule match have to play on FA Cup 3rd round against Preston and few days later will face Middlesbrough on EFL Cup semifinal first leg.

Pochettino must make rotation on upcoming two matches because if push main players have to play on first minutes will make them loss opportunity in domestic league.
Facing a fairly busy schedule might make Chelsea's position in the English Premier League even more difficult because they will face Liverpool after the second leg of the League Cup semi-final, especially without a busy schedule Chelsea always face difficulties in rotating their players and also they often lose to weak teams so I quite agree it is very difficult for Chelsea to get a place in the champions league next season.
Chelsea is 12 points behind Arsenal who are in fourth place and the most difficult thing for Chelsea to be in the top four is because they are inconsistent, their current two-game winning streak is very likely not to continue when they face Fulham or Liverpool in the English Premier League match.
My prediction is that Pochettino will be very focused on the League Cup semi-final match because that is one of their chances to win the title this season, and facing Middlesbrough Chelsea should be able to overcome it to get to the final and face Fulham or Liverpool who will also compete in the semi-final.
After Chelsea's performance in the club's first league encounter of the season which was played against Liverpool, I was of the opinion that the team have significantly improved from the poor Chelsea side of last season that didn't finish in a spot that guarantees European football this season but after 20 matchweeks, Chelsea are currently not even in top six of the English Premier League table.

Focusing more in the league cup doesn't guarantee that Chelsea will win as they're are still few other strong English Premier League clubs left in the competition. The club manager I know is a good manager with great managerial abilities but he must significantly improve the general performance of Chelsea in other to continue as the club manager

I know Napoli is not die yet but it will be difficult for them to lift this trophy again in this season, which you know that there are many strong teams that has double cross them to use huge amount of points to gap them in the table. As it stand in this season, I don't think the coach can do something that will make the team to showcase what they have never showcase before because, some of their potential strikers will be leaving the team soon because their contract will expire soon and they don't want to continue with the team again.
Now Napoli is in the top eight of the standings which is quite far from being in the top flight, so Napoli may only be able to try to be in the top four of the standings until the end of the season if they are still able to win more matches and hope that their other rivals can lose. Because Roma, Atalanta, Bologna and Fiorentina have made quite good progress this season, Napoli continues to experience decline in its position so far.

Quote
I believe Napoli will improve next season because, by then their coach will have some new players that will make some improvement that will give their fans hope that with time their coach will get it right to help them win some trophy.
This season, it is no longer easy for Napoli to get another trophy like last season, but that doesn't mean Napoli can't rise to a better position, such as the top four or the UCL zone. Because usually when a team is no longer able to reach the top position, the team will try to secure itself in the top four so that it can re-enter the UCL competition next season.
Last season, Napoli convincingly conquered the whole of Italy on their way to winning the Italian title for the first time in over 30 years and that triumph without doubt increased the expectations of the club's fans but unfortunately for the team, they've not been able to live up to expectations. Currently not in the top four of the league table which I think makes it almost impossible to finish the season as the league champions again also considering their general performance this season it'll take a huge miracle to see them win the UEFA champions league competition.

So the best they can do now is to fight and finish in the top four of the league table as I personally do not see a possibility of them winning a major title this season

English coaches are not good enough, I don't need remind you about coaches like Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and lastly Gareth Southgate.
They're not good like they're being hyped and supported. I knew he wasn't going to do well judging from his time with Derby County and one other club in the States.
It was a smart decision from Birmingham City and them management to finally call of the contract and show him the exit.

Manchester United player and winger Jadon Sancho has finally come to agreement with his former club Borrussia Dortmund on a potential return back the club.
Mentioning them and none of these coaches have been able to fill in good space for a club, is it that they're cause? A coincidence or they don't just have a clue about executing their jobs? You know what they say about English coaches? They're the best when it comes to playing on the pitch and also interms of managerial roles, I don't value their rating, it's consider as hype. Wayne Rooney have been sacked by Birmingham City, bad news for Rooney in the New year 2024. We should not blame the club because they have been patient with the Englishman but he failed to elevate the club to standards, rather he's poor strategy have cause them to lose matches.
The fact that English managers aren't as successful in football management as their other European counterparts I think further explains how poor their tactical experiences and abilities are. The English media as we all know are very good in hyping their footballers and making an average footballer look like one of the best but because when it comes to football management, you have to prove your capabilities by winning trophies as well as winning more matches for your team than losses, that's why we've not seen English managers doing well whenever they're hired.

Wayne Rooney without doubt had a very career as a player, but that's absolutely been the opposite with his managerial career and I think it's be better for him not to continue with the profession as he's failed in almost all the previous attempts.

I think its a lot harder when you are really in the actual situation, but if you really have that strong mentality to stop when its necessary is a very great weapon in gambling having it when winning and losing will help you a lot, and all gambler should have that kind of mindset.
When it comes to gambling, it's actually a very difficult task for anyone to control his activity especially in the middle of a gambling engagement. Though it's very possible to regulate and stop gambling whenever it's necessary but it's not as easy as it sounds abd that's why a lot of people today lose money in gambling. If majority of gamblers can be decisive enough to stop gambling when necessary, then gambling companies will be making little or no interests if you ask me.

But despite the difficulty in controlling our gambling activities especially in the middle of gambling engagements, it's very necessary for a gambler to learn how to control his gambling engagements
1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 04, 2024, 05:38:33 AM
This is either a special form of denial, that is, disbelief that they lost, or a kind of fraud. Sometimes it happens that after losing a large sum, a person enters an altered state of consciousness and, on a subconscious level, stops believing in a reality that is unfavorable for him. This usually happens with hysterical individuals. But, in my opinion, this is a completely different case. Mother and son are trying to shift the blame from themselves to people innocent of their loss. This is what the lack of risk consideration and lack of risk management leads to. To avoid blaming anyone for your losses, simply limit your risks. And do it tough.
There are people who are not good in predicting games but are very much interested in gambling and does ask for predictions from people who are prediction experts but one thing that some of them fail to know is that prediction expert does also make bad predictions on some occasions and shouldn't be held accountable whenever they fail with their predictions. So as a gambler, when you know you're the kind of person who will blame someone for your gambling losses, it's absolutely not advisable to take any form of prediction or advice from anyone whenever you're gambling.
If you can't quietly manage your gambling losses whenever you incure them, then it's needless to involve other people that you know you'll want to blame when things turns sour

One thing about gambling and it's activities is that no one would say that he knows it all and that's why many people including gambling experts still end up making the wrong predictions but one fact I think that's not debatable is that the the gambling predictions of gambling experts is absolutely different from that of  newbies is that experts will always come up with predictions that are more likely to tally with the final results of games than newbies.
So that been said, I've been able to benefit from shared games from experts on several times and I can remember one time that I had very little amount of money left on me and needed more to sort my needs at that time but couldn't get any then until a gambling expert shared his game with me which I risked the little money I had to stake on it and ended up winning a reasonable amount of money.
1256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: January 04, 2024, 05:17:54 AM
In my own opinion, I'll say having mentally unstable people gambling in your casino would only reduce the reputation of the casino. There are places were those kind of persons should play, but gambling is a no go area, except he was just on a disguise. I can't even imagine walking into a casino with a mentally unstable person. That story only tells that the attendant is heartless, for him to allow such person enter and make a bet, is only shows that that attendant is capable of promoting irresponsible gambling.
Realistically speaking, I don't think there's any gambling company that'll want to allow a mentally unstable person use their offline platform to gamble because it'll definitely spoil the reputation of such gambling company as many will see it as inhumane for such kind of act. However, I don't think it'll be easy to regulate the mental state of individuals before they can gamble on a gambling sites and that's why I think that even when it's condemnable for mentally unstable people to gamble, there's every possiblity that they are still involved in gambling regardless of whatever anyone has to say about them.

When it comes to online gambling, the possibility of gambling engagements by persons who shouldn't even be allowed to engage in gambling are very high.

I like the game of Girona team very much. I placed a bet in support of Girona team. However, the players of Atlético Madrid team did not win the match after they scored 3 goals. If Atlético Madrid team scored 1 more goal, the match would be a draw today. Atlético Madrid tried hard to draw the match.  But the Atlético Madrid team could not do that.
Real Madrid will experience top run for the La Liga title this season, gone are the days we'll be watching Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid and Barcelona fighting for the La Liga title, this season is different and I'm sure that next season, more average team will enter the race. Girona is something else this season, they don't pull back until they've achieved their target. Blanquivermells have not lost a match against elite clubs this season except Real Madrid that won them 3-0 which actually motivated them to become fierce and not giving up.

The Spanish La Liga title over the past 2 decade has was known as a league that's majorly three clubs in the country which are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid but this season, Real has been very impressive and are currently at the top of the league standings but the strange and surprising thing is that they're having a tight battle from a club that's almost not considered as a top four prospect in the beginning of the season and that's what makes the Spanish La Liga campaign this season more interesting than it's been in the last two decades.

Girona's ability to beat a strong team Atletico Madrid yesterday after beating Barcelona earlier in the season has proven that they in for a serious business in the Spanish La Liga campaign this season and if they can continue with their current performance, we might be surprised to see a new Spanish champion that's different from the three top clubs of the league in the past two decades.

I do not trust any experts and this applies not only to gambling as even if someone has received an expert title for his past predictions it does not mean that his future predictions will be 100% correct. As we can see people are often wrong, so when making any decisions based on someone else's opinion, keep in mind that all financial risks are borne by you, not the expert you listened to. He bears only reputational risks.   
I do not trust verbatim but I trust them more than myself. There are people who are so learned and accurate in prediction which is the work of experience.
If I want to gamble, I will like to use my budget and I will not increase my stake. But when you are playing a match purported to be predicted by an expert, I will tend to increase my stake since I believe it is from an expert.

Arsenal are about to missed out on the title race again this season, heavy pressure on them. We're not in the final week yet but I have strong hope of Arsenal will amend their mistakes and also ensure they're able to win matches upfront. I've witnessed poor performance and there are certain levels of support and experience from Gunners, but this level is different. Inconsistent performance have gotten a hold of Arsenal. We expected Gunners to be topflight this season but unfortunately they're out bound, they're unable to maintain the streak winnings.
The result of not being able to win in a row is what forced Arsenal to occupy the top four positions with a distance of five points from the current leader of the standings. In the Premier League it is always more difficult to catch up and equalize points when you are at the top and that is really what Arsenal is experiencing. Because even though the distance of five points is not quite a lot of distance, there are always obstacles when a team is chasing down points to reach the top again.
The reason why I am not confident about Arsenal is two things;
1. Arsenal is not a club that will be in somewhere 4th or 5th position during the mid season and later give a surprise to the top before the end of the season.
2. Arsenal is a club which can be at the top of the league and later give up two weeks to end of the season.
For these two reasons, I do not trust Arsenal with the English premier League title. They can comfortably compete for the top 4 but I do not trust them to win

Manchester City Yeah, but that have dropped how they play, I will se e how quickly they pick up with the arrival of Jeremy Doku Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne.
What they did last season can't be done and repeated, they lack capacity and creativity. Players who did magic in absence of Kevin De Bruyne are no more. Blames on Pep Guardiola for not replacing the player's with the right players.

Stepping into the false nine role for Real Madrid had a huge impact on the goals he has scored for them. The defenders are not giving enough thanks for what they have done so far having the least goals conceded.
I don't think it's right to blame Pep Guardiola for what Manchester City has experienced this season because there have been a few failures experienced by Manchester City due to the absence of Kevin De Bruyne in their squad for some time. And now Kevin De Bruyne has recovered so he can return to playing with his squad even though Manchester City currently still has two other players who are still injured and one of them who is often relied on is Erling Haaland who is still experiencing stress on his bones.

Obviously, Manchester City and Pep Guardiola did better last season than this season and they had a better squad depth last season. They had the quality players and they were all available throughout the season. But this season they already lost Mahrez and Gundegon to the transfer window. This left them with no options to continue with the available players and surprisingly KDB has been injured for the majority of the season. This was a very big blow for Manchester City and happily they are still in the top 4 of the English premier League even till today and with the news of the return of Kelvin, it is a very big win for Manchester City.

However, I would still advice Pep Guardiola to gradually re integrate Kelvin into the team. He shouldn't rush him, otherwise if Kelvin is injured again, it might be the end of his career because he is no longer a young player. Since Doku and others will be available, he should try to be playing them indifferent positions in order to be able to do what Ancelotti did not to feel the effects of his key players even when they are not available.
