This group Man City seems to be a leader and the chances for Guardiola to finish at top of the group early on are good and to start the round and do not drain his players in the expectation that he has a Premier League will be harder than last season.

I think Shakhtar is most experienced in the championship than others in recent years, and their own league they have less pressure than the others  but Nagelsmann Hoffenheim proved that he could hurt the opponents, while Lyon has good names but they are not too consistant and they have a challenge for For the championsleague seats in the the league which will often be the toughest challenge for them to focus on two competetions.

i'm Sure that Manchester had minimum extra 100M euros saved up this season for not getting the defenders Mourinho wanted but yes it's not a money probleme their problem is the other players they bought should have started to bring results by now like Sanchez Lukaku and Pogba, Mourinho used to bring the best out of his players but now we don't see that. burnley game will see if Mourinho going to finish the season with him keeping his job or not.
United should get this win because Burnley is also struggling as they lost to Fulham, lost to Watford, Out of Europe unless United players play a shitty game again the three points should go to them.

Man City v Newcastle 2-0
Leicester v Liverpool 1-2
West Ham v Wolves 1-2
Crystal Palace v Southampton 1-0

Those teams should have been distributed to other groups. There is no one who really deserves to be the head team of that group.
All of them when we come to reality and forget some historical excellence for them you get the four of thema have equal opportunity the qualidication will be mesured on whom will earns the points from home and who grabs a point from an away game considered the best.
Porto looks little bit favorite as they are the most educated but still not that invincible team.

Belgian winger Nacer Chadli looking for a move out relegated West brom especialy after that impressive performance in WC i'm surprised he didn't move yet before the window closed or any of the newly promted EPL teams tryed to bring him.
Everton Striker Sandro Ramirez is going o, a loan move out Goodison park back to spain. he will be joining Real Sociedad.
Italien Midfielder Claudio Marchisio is considering to move to Portugal and his destination will be either Porto or Benfica Porto will be better as they are the defending champions and their draw for Group Stages in UCL is fairely easier then Benfica.

Ronaldo's return to Manchester, the return of Pogba to Juventus, the return of Cancelo to Valencia it will be fantastic mix of emotions in a very powerful group.

Young Boys seems to be on the sidelines, but any team that squandered points against them would be digging his own grave with his hands.

Juventus is currently the most experienced, the most stable in terms of coach and names, and even the most self-confident. but you can not say that he is the candidate to qualify or lead, neither Valencia nor Manchester United can secure them.

the red devils have started really poorly this season but there is a room for them to immprove if they find the stability they need while Valencia have returned back to Champiosleague in the previous couple seasons they have created problems for Real Madrid and Barcelona and is playing with enthusiasm and intensity. This summer they managed to sign a good number of players to provide offensive options for their coach. .

the problem is the money spent on pogba was not well spent because when you see him performing from game to game you see ups and downs, he still yet to show his worth and now the money they spent on him is not considered a lot for this year when you see Liverpool breaking the beank on improving their defense while united is still struggling to build one also the players they got now in attack they are not performing anywhere close to what they did in previous clubs. Mourinho propably need to go but not now not when they are in crisis because i don't think that zidane is the right man to takeover now.

Kevin Strootman have moved out from Roma to Marseille after spending five year playing only 130 games. The deal worth €25 million + €3 on add ons he signed a 5year deal and he will join his former manager in Rome Rudi Garcia.
Yaya Toure will join back to Olympiakos on a free transfer, the Ivory coast player spent a season back in 05-06 with Olympiakos before making a move to Monaco then Barcelona.
Brazilien Ronaldo is set to buy recently promoted team to LALiga Real Valladolid for just €30million.

Inter Milain made a comeback to UCL last time they were in it was in season 11/12 they were knocked out by marseile in the first knockout round.

United have a huge budget and can make a comeback since money can bring trophy's but United must be patient on Jose and give him the tools and the policy of changing coaches will not work, especially as the alternative Zidane is unconvincing in my eyes he had an already good team and he didn't had to make big decisions also best thing for him he had extreme luck. for now Mourinho is still with United next game with burnley will be the key for his survival. if he failed to win then it's time for the change zidane is not the only name mentioned to be close to manage United Belgium national team manager Roberto martinez is also recently name popped out.

Paco Alcacer has become the second most expensive loaned player in the history of the Bundesliga, with Borussia Dortmund paying €4.5m for two seasons
Paco played bearly 2300 minutes with Barcelona in two full seasons so it's clear that he didn't get his time with the club compared to 4300 minutes Gomez had during the same period, meaning that the Spanish did not get half of the opportunity obtained by Portuguese.Also under Valverde's lead he played only 937 minutes, a very small number and the periode of the two seasons spent with Barcelona Paco scored 15 goals and made eight goals in his short career today he will be wearing the number 9 and his huger for minutes will stop now as his fate is now in his hands.

Roma played in the lifgield with De rossi Cristante Pastore both Cristiani and Pastori are play-makers and they are weak defensively and Di Francesco don't have a lot of options there given the technical options available to the coach, it is true that only two defensive midfielders have good defense capabilities, they play the same position and role (Der ossi, N'zonzi). The rest are purely aggressive and do not offer great defensive guarantees. Ironically when we see Dzeko as a striker go back to help in defense that course will make the Roma season very difficult and the reason of it is monchi he sold Niangolan and their top goalkeeper Alisson and the players he brought for the last two seasons failed miserably only Kolarov shown is play.

Spurs played this gale so perfectly they knew how to soak the the danger from the chances that united created and after that they played on their opponents mistakes in defense, the srt peices marking was awful from United they blew the game that way with just to headers, Smalling should have been sold in the summer so they could bring another defender he is 28yo and there is no room for him to improve anything then this Phil Jones is still usefull IMO Mourinho can rely on him if he gets regular time Lindelof is still looking like he is not adjusted yet in the EPL and that is a big question mark since he shown good performance is WC.

Hazadr most likely will leave next season , unless Cheslea improves this season under Sarri and show him the project that they are working on to brong back the club and i don't think he will move in january because you rarely see big players move in winter because you cannot play in Europe Coutinho was a rare case of big name moving in winter and it's propably because Liverpool have found that Salah is their man and barcelona is fool enough to make an offer again, Real Madrid will propably make a move for him in January but i don't think they are willing to meet the requests of Chelsea and they rather wait for the player to enter his final 12 month then Chelsea will be forced to drop it's price beacuse he could wait for one more seaon and move for free.

this loss is not in Mourinho it was on his players mistakes and you can see how in the first half how united performed they were clearly a better team then Spurs but Lukaku missed a big chance that could have been the turning point for them but in the second halve the defensive mistakes were catastrophique. and Mourinho have done big changes from previous game as he changed 6 players but still the same problem i guess he was right for pursuing the board in buying him a central defender as it looks like no one is good enough to play there, the only good point from this match is Luke Shaw he is showing Mourinho that he is up to the task to be the sole Left back after a summer full of spectaculation over hm staying or leaving.

Newcastle have been difficult to beat at home for the blues lately now they outperform them and collected 3 wins in row, Mourinho could not beat Newcastle at home during the two seasons while Conte lost 3-0 and Chelsea have not won this stadium since 2011, Sarrii won and prevented Newcastle from creating any opportunity except the one where scored the goal. Sarri was right on Bringing jorgingo he is providing that he is the best Midfielder in Chelsea despite that they have Kante. Kante will need time to adjust to the new manager and Jorginho next to him.

yeah Lakers will definitely will be in playoffs this season LeBron alone will get them there but their youngsters need to improve with him and not rely only on LBJ my expectations for them is to finish 4rth at best (if they don't get a lot of injuries) and get somewhere near 50 wins as for winning warriors I don't see that happening any time soon unless they get kahwi. Oklahoma , Utah and Rocket's wouldn't be as difficult as Warriors so Winning against them will be the case of how the team performing at that stage.

Cristiano move to Italy should bring back the fans for the serieA and we are seeing that since Real Madrid have recorded their lowest attendance in a game since the arrival of Ronaldo in 2009. Yesterday both games were entertaining. I liked Inter and Torino match, despite the draw Inter performed good enough interest scored a goal from a dead ball by the strength of individualism like Icardi and Perisic made their team advanced from the beginning then theor dominance in first half got them their second goal while in 2nd half Torino got more serious and they went in another breath that saw them later losing a big chance to win the game after they took their chances and scored back the two goals for the draw Spaletti need to change the tactics little bit and not relay only on crosses if he wants to keep his job.

Levante - Celta Vigo : for this match I feel that the hosts have better chances to win especially when you see their manager Jemez made them stronger and at home alongside their fans they should not disappoint also the visitors Celta have a shaky defense and more likely to concede goals so I'm going for a home win for this match while for Athleco Bialbao against Huesca it's possible to see the visitors grab a draw since that Bilbao is not nearly as good as they used to be before and I doubt to see them finish anywhere close to top 6 this season.

yeah Watford having a great start despite losing both a good manager Silva and their best player last season Richaldson to Everton but after those three matches you will expect from them to start losing some points because in the next 4 fixtures they will be facing Spurs Man United and Arsenal so  very thought games waiting for them they are probably looking to finish where Burnley finished last season that is 7th place I expect big competition on that position with Everton and Leicester for the time being.
