La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

[Joca97]

It must be already obvious to Atletico Madrid board that the team need significant changes. It should be with the game plan and strategies because I believe they already have a solid squad that can be in the title race normally. They have really talented and experienced players in the squad at the same time but they just can't take advantage of it. Simeone's usual strategies are obsolete from now on. He needs to try something new or give up already. I respect his successes with Atletico Madrid for many years but it might be time for him to leave his job to another manager.

I believe this team deserve to play more attacking focused rather than being cautious. They shouldn't just focus on keeping a 1-0 score advantage for example. They need to fight more and more. They have capable players to do this.

This is you indirectly saying that Atletico Madrid needs a new coach; which i definitely agree with. If the Atletico Madrid board wants to change the game plan and strategiss of the team and get good results; then the first step is to get a modern competent coach; one that can build the attacking strengths of the Atletico Madrid side.

It wont be easy to change the coach. I think even that he extended the contract a few weeks ago so this makes things even harder. He has been here for a long time and just likes defencive football and counter attack football. He needs to change things quickly or he will actually be sacked

I think this season is important just to play to the end, maybe you should not think about the place... They need to change coaches and they will do it, the only question is when it will be in the winter or summer. If you think about it, Barseleona were in the same position before Xavi came in, but they got out in second place, but it was very hard...

If they decide to change coaches in your opinion, who do you think is the right coach to replace Diego Simeone? And do you think Atletico Madrid would be better off doing that?
It will be very difficult for a team to decide whether it is better to fire or keep the coach. Because they can still be said to be good overall, but they lost in terms of competition which many people think is due to the monotony of Diego Simeone's strategy.

[terrorJR]

Real Madrid seem to have a vulnerability in this season just as Barcelona. But Barcelona's vulnerability is not as serious as theirs actually. Because Barcelona are unsuccessful against top teams this season but they have had this against only Real Madrid in the league. They are still doing great in the rest of their matches which helped them reach the first place in the standings. But Real Madrid have a problem like they lose points easily against some much weaker opponents. This is a significant weakness and it can cost them the title too.

I know that it is still early for deciding upon the winner of the title. I just wanted to point out that Ancelotti should focus on the concentration level of his player in this kind of matches not to get away from Barcelona in the standings.

I do not understand by vulnerability you mean in this case.
2 draws and 1 loss for Madrid doesn't prove they are playing badly and of course they are still very good for now even though they are still behind Barcelona who are at the top.
Madrid only needs to improve a little in their attack line as well as for the defense line so they don't concede more goals but in terms of performance they are clearly still very good.

The coach is slightly responsible for Atletico Madrid's poor performance. But we cannot blame the coach entirely for their poor performance. Is Atletico Madrid's squad strong enough? I don't think so. Atletico Madrid's squad is relatively weak, and Atletico Madrid management is not interested in spending a lot of money to sign players. And so we can't blame only the Madrid coach for the poor performance of Atletico Madrid. And so I don't think Atletico Madrid will fire their coach.

Atletico Madrid this season not only has a bad coach but also a bad squad and bad management too. For some reason, this season Atletico Madrid is really bad in all positions. They have not only failed in round 16 of the Champions League but also seem to have failed in La Liga. This is bad, in fact, they often fail against small clubs. What a bad surprise. Atletico Madrid really needs a new coach capable of making significant changes, and maybe they should buy some good sharp players in the next transfer market.

Barcelona should be patient and work with what they have, they are not in the best place financially to be making big signings. I think Barcelona already have a good team on their hands and Xavi just need a little more time to get to know these players and work with them. They just need to work together as a team and create that team spirit amongst themselves, I think that should be a solution to improving their performances in every game.

Yes, Barcelona players are doing well in this season compared to last season that nearly collapse the team until Xavi rescued the team in this season. I think, Barcelona coach have more strategies to introduce to the team in this break period so that they will improve well after the holiday for their fans to believe that there are positive changes in their performance. I believe, Barcelona will definitely win this la Liga league title because their coach is fully ready to make things happen for their favour in their remaining matches.

I will disagree about your statement that Simeone is a bad coach because if you following his career during train Atletico he can makes Atletico being an big club in Spanish league even he also can break the domination of Barcelona and Real Madrid for race title so i think this is good achievements which he get even if someday Atletico changing coach i am doubt they can have equal achievement to Simeone and in the last 11 years Atletico has gets Laliga trophies, Copa Del Rey, Europa league trophies and can reach to final matches on champion league under him

But indeed currently Atletico in the difficult period which is most of us will blaming Simeone because some of people weren't liked to his philosophy of football but i think small chances for Atletico to sacked him even if you noticed in the previous seasons Atletico had the similar situations such as now but Simeone position still safe until today

Since Barcelona is not very buoyant I don't think their will be any need for them to buy more players, the players Barcelona has are okay for the club,  they are professional player's.  All Barcelona needs to do is to work hard. With players like Lewandowski, Raphinha and other top players Barcelona is good to go . All  they need to do is to work hard to perform well always, they already have a good squad I don't see any reason to buy new players when their is no much fund.

Barcelona's squad may be good, but why not better?  Right now Lewandowski is giving a good performance.  It is also possible to increase this performance to a higher level.  Barcelona now has two big goals, one is to win La Liga and the other is to win the Europa League.  Barcelona are focused on these two goals and with Xavi they can win both.  They made good use of Real Madrid's mistakes and are now leaders.  Real Madrid can strengthen its team at halftime, and Barcelona will take steps in this regard.

Working hard is not the solution to everything, sometimes you need to work Smart. Barcelona team is made up of big boys and this boys have proven in their former clubs that they can play good football.

It is time we begin to question the tactics of the coach and see if they'll need to change tactics that is suited his men to unleash their capacity

Barcelona need money to strengthen the team, the team doesn't have it, besides, they still have big debts. Also, these expenses need to be reasoned, and since the results of Barcelona in the Champions League were bad, Xavi will be able to receive money for new players only if he wins some titles, otherwise he will not receive anything. La Liga will of course be a priority, I don’t know about the Europa League, besides there are stronger teams than Bracelona...

Xavi spent a lot of money before the start of the season. But we don't see a better performance from them. Although Barcelona are at the top of La Liga, they have lost against their main rivals Real Madrid. At the same time, Barcelona was eliminated in the first round of the Champions League. Despite spending a lot of money to get star players, Barcelona is not playing well. Barcelona are now heavily in debt. Therefore, it is difficult for them to recruit new players. Still, I think Barcelona will add at least one experienced defender to the squad in the winter transfer window. Because their defense is weak. They are now looking for Pique's replacement.

They have been working hard for themselves on the pitch honestly if the club directors feels like adding two or three players again and has agreement with the coach then they can add. But they need a midfielder to replace Busquet,if Rodrigo of man City is available he will bring solidity to the midfielder's shielding Pedri and Gavi ahead. The attackers are no doing bad either but should be ready and precise when in the opposing box.

Good question, what do you think?  Currently, Xavi has confirmed on several occasions in the sports media during his interview sessions. he emphasized that currently, he and Barcelona are targeting two titles at once this season, namely, La Liga and the Europa League.
IMO, Barcelona has the depth of players that qualify to win two titles at once this season. Lewandowski's presence this season has made Barcelona sharper than last season. Barcelona's squad is not only good, but winning is good. however, why not better.

IMO, the answer is simple. Currently Barcelona is coming with several new players, Xavi is rebuilding Barcelona's strength like it was in its heyday. it's just that the chemistry and bonds of the players don't look solid, plus Barcelona have to deal with many injured players. unmitigated, after the international break Xavi was disadvantaged by 6 players who had to be absent, 2-3 of them had to get special treatment. in the end, it impacts the team's overall performance. veteran players who are expected to replace and contribute to crucial matches, but play very underperform, plus they make blunders.

There's still a lot that we can actually discuss, but I think that's enough to represent your question.

Working hard is not the solution to everything, sometimes you need to work Smart. Barcelona team is made up of big boys and this boys have proven in their former clubs that they can play good football.

After going through a season without winning any titles and being left behind by his mega star (Messi), Barcelona started working hard to shape their squad back to its best performance. You can see how Barcelona moved quickly in the transfer market to bring several star players to Camp Nou, Lewandowski, Kounde and Raphinha were some of the players who managed to bring in even though they were experiencing financial difficulties.
Working hard can also mean fighting for titles, they have improved from last season. Now that Barcelona is in the top position in the standings, hard work (always consistent) will bring Barcelona to the title when the season ends.

No, it can be seen from what already stated by xavi if barcelona may try to search some new players during the transfer season but with the note if it must be a free transfer players, it's caused by barcelona has a very bad financial at this moment. that being said that if barcelona needs to get more players again. They have been working together since the early season and calling them to have good team work doesn't make sense. Barcelona needs only to make sure if it will able to fix some problems especially from its defenders.
The defensive of barcelona is not strong like another big team.

They must have realized to work hard as well as work smart, but the question is how capable they can implement it. Because not infrequently it is a problem that always descends on them, but by working hard and smart it can change everything. Efforts will not betray results as long as they can patiently do it, the process will not be as fast as imagined, sometimes there are many unexpected obstacles.

The financial situation of the club is quite troubled, yes I know that.  Maybe they should find new sponsors.  If they win the championship this year with the current squad, they can get a little better financially.  They should also drop the transfer policy to expensive fees now.  However, if Barcelona wants to transfer a player when they want to transfer, it is certain that they charge more for that player.  Transfer policy is very important at this stage.  Less spending requires more income.  I believe they will be able to transfer players during the interim transfer period, but for this they will have to part ways with a few players.

Until this 14th week, there are still clubs that have not been able to taste a single victory, namely Elche. They are so pathetic by only collecting 4 points from 4 draws. 7 points behind Cadiz and Sevilla, and 8 points behind the safety zone currently held by Celta Vigo. Not only that, they are also the club that has conceded the most, so far they have conceded 31 goals. It's been a very bad season for them because last season they could have done better by finishing 13th. I think they will be the first club to be relegated this season.

There is no doubt about quality difference as many clubs which promoted have no enough funds which help them for having players who can give them better results into top flight, so they are suffering just because of this with most chances they will be relegated and drop again on their level with Cadiz which were also hardly survive again having no improvement and now at 19th spot with just two wins also not going to help in this season Sevilla is surely quality team but sadly after selling few players now they are at the 18th which is the worst case for them having just 2 wins from 14 matches giving all review about their performance and future even they can survive, but surely this could be good lesson for them as well.

Actually, looking at the previous conditions for last season, Cadiz's condition was not too good but when they did something like this it was clear that there was nothing that could make them more powerful for next season.
They are a small club that is definitely a little difficult to manage their finances and when things like now happen by never winning in the competition they are going through this will definitely make it a little difficult for them to manage their finances.
