Arsenal lost 2-1 away to Fulham after taking the lead in the 5th minute.Arsenal are in a poor run of form and if they don't bounce back quickly they will fall behind in the title race.Arsenal were not at their best in the second half, taking the lead through Saka's goal but ending the first half 1-1. In the 59th minute Cordova-Reid's goal was an important win for Fulham who managed to win the match, but Arsenal suffered their 4th defeat in the league with this defeat and probably dropped 5 points away from the leader.Today we will watch the Liverpool-Newcastle United match.I don't expect Newcastle, who have had bad results in recent weeks, to take points away from Liverpool.I will be expecting Liverpool to win this match and open the gap.

Yeah, the current performance of Brazil is indeed disappointing. I hope within a few times Brazil overcome the position again with the talented players. However, considering their remarkable historical achievements, do you think they'll be able to bounce back in the upcoming games?

I think that it also in Xabi's interest. Moving to such a big club after a year could be a threat to his career. He is still very young as a coach. He should work in Leverkusen for another year or two (hopefully successfully) and then take the next step. Angelotti won't be in the coaching business for much longer and then the path will be clear for Xabi. Until then he can still gain a more experience. In Leverkusen he also has the advantage that he can work more freely and independent and I think he knows that too. I also believe that Xabi can be an option for Bayern Munich, even if Bayern doesn't have a need at the moment, but it is known that he still has a good connection with those in charge at the club.

Im excited about MC's CL possibilities with De Bruyne and Haaland. If they keep up their stellar form from last season, MC's chances are great. Im skeptical of KDB's injury recovery. Players take time to recover, and a three-month delay is substantial. That might disrupt Mc's steady run.

However, Bayern Munich is strong this season. Their team is strong, and they want the CL crown. Lets not forget Real Madrid. Despite their lackluster offensive, Ancelotti has kept them in terrific form.

Real Madrid has not lost a single game of the last 17 games they played. They have the best defense in La Liga and they are the only team with Manchester City to finish the Champions League group with the full 18 points out of 6 games. I understand that they are suffering from injuries, but this isn't the first time Vinicius Junior is injured this season. They had to replace him for quite a while already and yet were able to play successfully.

There is still some time left for their players to recover and I don't see them being on the verge of instability. They have done it well until now and of course there is a limit for every club to handle injuries. But for now they are good.

We will read a lot of discussions and rumors about Mbappe in the coming days. I am sure he will want to leave Paris Saint-Germain FC and go to a more ambitious team in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain FC are going through a restructuring with Luis Enrique. And they are giving good signals for the future. But I don't think Mbappe can wait for them for a few more years, and we know he has earned a lot of money so far. His last contract with Paris Saint-Germain FC brought him good money. I think he will want to go to a team where he wants to win more trophies instead of earning more money. If earning more money was his first priority, he would have said yes to the crazy offer made by the Arabs at the beginning of the season.

Newcastle United is a pretty tough opponent for Liverpool, but that doesn't mean Liverpool isn't tough enough when competing at home in today's match. Because even without Salah, Liverpool still has to be considered as a strong team this season because so far Liverpool's strength is still visible, so it is not worth underestimating Liverpool just because one of their mainstay players is going to the Africa Cup of Nations. Today's match for Liverpool will probably be much more interesting because Liverpool really need to distance themselves from Aston Villa who are currently starting to continue to show their fangs and skills in every match.

We agree with what you said, if Luis Enrique had a squad like last season. plus, he also brought in several players, especially players for the team's needs. PSG will be much stronger in the hands of a competent coach, and has the potential to bring a strong team to win many trophies. but unfortunately, IMO, it seems like most PSG coaches don't have the capacity to bring in some of the players they want for the team's needs. I also suspect that Galtier doesn't have many choices in selecting the players recruited by PSG management. it would be very natural if Galtier had difficulty finding a suitable formula for his squad at that time, especially for PSG's midfield.

Now, PSG is handled by Enrique and the PSG mega project is no longer being continued. Messi left, Neymar left, and several other players left PSG. however, it seems that currently PSG is starting with a new philosophy. they prioritized several young players, and built an even stronger foundation under the guidance of Luie Enrique. talking about Enrique at the moment, I don't really know which players he has brought in since managing PSG. however, it seems that club management still prioritizes their interests and desires.  If, Enrique is given the freedom to bring in the players he really wants. at least PSG can perform much better, as well as in the Champions League. this season, it seems their target is only to win the Ligue 1 trophy and advance as best they can in the Champions League. for Ligue 1, I have no doubts about how PSG will defend the title for the umpteenth time. but for the Champions League, if PSG were able to advance to the last eight, that would be far more sufficient with the current squad.

I strongly believe on Real Madrid and if possible Bayern Munich than Manchester city because, their performance is far below that of last season. Manchester city has only won two matches recently and nobody knows if they can still have that best performance that we know them for.

Real Madrid has been playing consistent in their matches and they will be able to crush any team that comes their way. Manchester city relies on few players and their absence affected their performance, but Real Madrid has injured players that I will say are somehow their key players but that didn't affect their performance in their matches that they played

I can't believe there was terrible crisis happened before match even started. I think both Saudi Arabian organizator and Turkish football federation made numerous mistakes yesterday that caused match to be cancelled. When you receive visitor to your country you should definitely act accordingly to their demand. Turkish fans are very intense and they love to use national symbols and sayings at tribune. If you don't like it then, do not even invite Turkish clubs. I hope match will be totally cancelled and cup will be shared by both teams.

Arsenal excited their fans for the championship this season as well, but now it seems that this will not be possible as they have only received one point in the last three matches. It was very bad to lose three points before the start of the new year.

Fulham is a very different team, they can somehow beat the teams trying for the championship. In the Arsenal-Fulham match, however, he made a very fast start with Saka's goal. But then Fulham made a comeback and gave Arsenal this gift before the new year.

Considering that we're playing above expectations and are on top of the PL, I wonder whether we're looking at some defensive additions in January.
Matip is out, Gomez has been inconsistent at best, Quansah is still too young and has played just a handful of games and we're still without Robertson.

We're one injury from a defensive nightmare, and we have to invest there in the summer anyway. I know it's hard to do good business in January, but I'd prefer that we at least give it a try.

Maybe the thing Manchester United have been in need of so far was a good management of the team completely. I mean maybe the new owner of the team could make the needed changes for this team to help its recovery phase. I'm not certain about if keeping ten Hag until this season ends is a good idea or not.

I mean I think about Liverpool's last season performance as well. They started the season quite badly and their general performance in the first half was quite bad. But we watched a much more effective Liverpool in the remaining part of the season. The same might happen to Manchester United too maybe. The best thing to do might be to give a little more time to ten Hag to see what happens. 

This has been one of the reasons I'm usually not quick to assuming that a team would do any better because they have got a name and they have been known to be a big team, it's still very possible they will still loose to small team and that's the dynamics of football it's not always tailored within a particular patterning so expect anything at anytime.

s the favourite of this league, Leverkusen and Liverpool will have to maintain some good consistency to get to the finals and we hope that the better team wins at the end of the day but then we have AC Milan who is appearing to be a good and strong contender aswell which we can't at any point underestimate because they will want to be amongst the top teams in the Europa since they were unable to achieve it with the champions league and back in their domestic league they aren't doing any poor, so the work on Liverpool and Leverkusen is now even more then it was at the beginning of the season.

I don't think Leverkusen bis even ready to let go of Xabi any time soon because they also wants his service as they have seen that he's doing real well with the team and if they get so lucky they may end up with the bundesliga title this season and the Europa is another with which they are looking very promising aswell so Xabi has still got some time at Leverkusen.

It was actually rumoured that he will be going to Real Madrid but now I doubt if they will be happening again, looking from another dimension I think it will be even much more better if xabi will stay longer in Leverkusen and not rush to going to another team where he may not be sure of the possibility of his career yet, he's just a Young coach though has been able to maintain a good record across Europe this season but I think rushing to another team because of this achievement of his may affect his career in a way but If he stays back at Leverkusen and help them get some trophy he may get an opportunity to further improve his skills and get good experience for his career.

Juventus' success in narrowing the points gap with Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings is quite extraordinary because this season Juventus does not need to think about other competitions apart from just competing in Serie A. So the strategy that Juventus has used to continue winning at home is certainly still good enough for him this season, even though next season it might not be good enough. Especially when Juventus returns to playing in a big competition like the UCL next season, it is clear that Juventus must have another strategy to win the match.
