It's true as you say, because apart from having quality players who are quite capable, of course the strategy that Klopp has applied in every match has often changed the direction and also the results of Liverpool's matches so far, I think Klopp knows very well what to do when Liverpool are behind goals from opponents and what I admire most about Klopp is that he is very good at seeing the placement of players in his formation if there are other players who are injured, not infrequently during this time he plots players in other positions that are not actually the players original positions but it turns out that the placement is quite successful in replacing the position left by other players.
Kloop deserves to be with Liverpool, I hope he continues to be added to his contract there. Well the trophy is not grand, but the reputation of the trophy winner will be a reference for the winning club. We will continue to see fierce competition, heat up and also the most super optimal performances from these 4 big clubs. On the other hand, Man City continues to lead and are difficult to catch, the problem is that they know that the difference in points is a reference to continue to be at the top of the table. So they also don't leave many gaps when playing with weak good opponents, especially with top clubs. under Pep Guardiola was impressive.I agree with you absolutely. Jurgen Klopp is the best thing that has happened to this team. His game plan is like a perfect match for Liverpool and we have seen this many times so far. They won the Champions League also and didn't content themselves with only the Premier League title. And they are still a consistent team I think. They are doing a great job in the Premier League and the Champions League both. We will see how it will end this time.
We are having a great season, Inzaghi proves to be the right choice for Inter, he has perfectly integrated with the group and seems to have always been at Inter. We found a young but very prepared coach and without Conte's insterias (sometimes wanted and sometimes not) the team follows him and plays more calmly. Great shot by Marotta who is the real architect of the great growth of Inter
Yeah. Simone Inzaghi has already proved that he is the right manager after Antonio Conte's departure. Inter are already leading the Serie A and Milan are following them from 4 points behind. This is really like last season now and we will see if Inter will be able to maintain their lead for so many weeks. If Milan don't want the same thing to happen and to lose their chance for the title, they should work harder.
Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage!
Following on from what I mentioned earlier, Real Madrid is almost 10 points ahead of the second-placed team in La Liga. If the rhythm is maintained, they will arrive at the game with PSG in a comfortable position in the Spanish league, being able to dedicate everything to this game.
PSG is also making good progress in the French championship, but it has had a less regular performance. It is the French league that is less competitive than the Spanish.
It's really going to be a very interesting game to watch.

Real Madrid and PSG both will have a clear mind before this matchup if they go on like this in their domestic leagues. And it seems like this will really happen. Because both of them are at a very great position in their leagues right now. And they have big chances to become the champions there. But they don't aim only those titles of course. They both are aiming the CL title. We will see which one of them wants it more.
Dortmund are losing their title chance in the Bundesliga little by little every week. They still would be able to qualify for the Champions League easily though but maybe they would start focusing on the Europa League more to at least win a title this season. And this would lead them to demolish Rangers in their matchup. This would be a great start and they would threaten the other teams like this also.
Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
PSG may dominate most of the time, but keep in mind that even bottom clubs of Ligue 1 can make a difference of the title race-a scene perhaps not as frequent in other "big" leagues. Now with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe and Ramos the only thing missing is a strong stable opponent in the league, like Bayern has with Dortmund for example. Someone who at least challenges it year in year out. The problem is Lille Marseille Lyon etc, they perform one season and the next theatre out the window , sometimes not even getting into European competitions.
Teams like Monaco, Lille, Lyon and Marseille are very unstable indeed. For example, Lille won the Ligue 1 title last season. But now, we see them having a terrible season. This is because they don't have a lineup full of world star players like PSG. This prevents them from being consistent about their title competition. This is not fair for this league like the Bundesliga. We need to be seeing more competition.
I see that Manchester City - Leicester game can be another game which is a candidate to be enjoyable. It is most likely to see Manchester City taking full control of the game from the start. Leicester will try to find an opening in Manchester City's defense to score. Maybe they will score one goal too. But I still think that Manchester City will get a comfortable game.
To tell the truth, I was waiting for Sevilla to become victorious in this game. But Barcelona interestingly overwhelmed the game in the first and second half both. And after Sevilla got a red card in the 64th minute, things started being much harder for them. They should be thankful for being able to manage to maintain a 1-1 score until the end. I haven't seen Barcelona this willing to win for a while. It is a good sign about them.
Recent news reports are stating up to 90 Premier League players, backroom staff and officials have tested positive for COVID-19 in the most recent wave of tests which means the future of this season (2021/22) is already in doubt.
It also stated 16% of Premier League players have not been vaccinated (which has to be a personal individual choice rather than the UK government not offering them double doses and the booster) but that might be unconnected to the latest positive test statistics.
I hope the season will not be cancelled because this is an exciting season where there are multiple teams in contention to win the EPL and there are multiple teams in contention for the 4th place Champions League spot.

I was already being afraid of this to happen and it looks like a really problematic period of time waiting for the Premier League clubs. Actually, it is not happening only in this league of course. In so many leagues, the number of players who have got covid-19 is increasing as time goes on. It seems like this winter is going to be tough for many clubs. The fixture is going to be tighter than ever before and this would cause the season to end at a later time then it was planned.
Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage!
This season is one of those times when Real Madrid has everything to make a great Champions League. The La Liga championship is fully controlled, with no opponents at the height. In this way they can dedicate themselves almost 100% to the Champions League.
Real Madrid really have one of their biggest chances to even win the Champions League. People shouldn't be so sure about PSG to eliminate them. To be honest, I'm also supporting PSG for this draw. But we should be ready for any kind of results here. Chelsea became the champions last season while most people were waiting for a team like PSG or Manchester City to make it. Maybe this time, Real Madrid can surprise people.
There is a big game today between Sevilla and Barcelona. They both are going to be playing their missing game and Sevilla have a nice advantage of playing home. They both got wins last week. Sevilla won a really competitive game against Atletico Madrid by one goal. And Barcelona finally won by 3-2 against Elche and got the result they wanted. But here, Sevilla are one step ahead of Barcelona. They have a golden opportunity to make the gap with Real Madrid three points. I don't think they will miss this chance.
I haven't seen a game like this for a very long time. Real Madrid got an unbelievably big dominance against Cadiz. They overwhelmed the whole game literally. They got 36 shots but none of them ended up with a goal. And we have a 0-0 draw in front of us. Real Madrid players must be really sad about this result as their very high effort was just in vain.
It is just unbelievable that Real Madrid still couldn't score despite their insane level of dominance. They have 29 shots in total and 82% ball possession so far. And Cadiz didn't even have a proper chance for a goal. We are almost entering the stoppage time. The time is running out for Real Madrid to win. And it is going to be really devastating to see them not being able to win this kind of a game.
Manchester City did the expected thing and obliterated Newcastle with a 4-0 score. But I must admit that Newcastle played without fear. The things they tried to make happen were worth appreciating absolutely. They found important goal opportunities also but couldn't make use of any of them. And unfortunately, Chelsea drew with Wolves with a 0-0 score. This caused them to be more away from Manchester City.
Many Premier League games of the week have been postponed one by one until today. Everton - Leicester also has been postponed. The first two games of the day are closing in and there is still not a decision to postpone them also as I can see. If they are played today, I think that Manchester City and Chelsea will win their games. Manchester City have a weak opponent. And Chelsea need to win not to be left behind too much by the top two teams.
Turkey seem to have the easiest group in League C. Lithuania, Luxembourg and Faroe Islands are all easy opponents for Turkey. I can already say that Turkey are going to advance to League B without much problem and make up for their really bad performance before relegating to this league. Actually, the Nations League is not seen as an important tournament but a title is always a title in the end. 
Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage!
PSG has the ability to score. Every striker in the squad is experienced and talented. The bonding between Messi and Mbappe is excellent now. They are playing very well together. So now it will be difficult for any team to stop PSG team from scoring. Their only weakness now is defense. However, Real Madrid legend Ramos is now in the PSG squad. He will definitely want to prove his mettle by beating Real Madrid. Within two months, coach Pochettino will have to take the necessary steps to strengthen his defense.
I also think that PSG have the needed team composition now. At the first times, Messi was struggling to adapt to the team but it was normal of course. Because he played for Barcelona for so many years. It is not easy to adapt to a completely new system very quickly. But from now on, it seems like Messi has started playing at a really good level. And he is doing good beside Mbappe also. If they keep this level at least, they can have a big chance for the title.
Tuchel should be already working on a solution for this team to get back to their old performance. Because they had really serious problems in defense and offense both these times. And this can even cost them the Premier League title if it goes on like this. Manchester City and Liverpool are way better than Chelsea now and it wouldn't surprise me to see them pull away in this case.
There was no surprising incident in the Dortmund - Greuther Furth game and Dortmund easily defeated their opponent by 3-0. Furth were already no match for Dortmund and Dortmund needed to make up for the big mistake they made against Bochum in the last round. Erling Haaland was in fine feather again and he scored 2 goals in this game. He follows Lewandowski (18 goals) and P. Schick (16 goals) by 13 goals in the top scorers table.
If I'm not mistaken, Haaland leads in terms of goals scored to games played - he scored 13 goals in just 9 games. An amazing performance, even if you take all 3 seasons that he plays in Borussia, his average performance is higher than one goal per game - this is a rare achievement in modern football, especially when playing not for a top club.
You are right about it. Erling Haaland is already ahead of his rivals in terms of goals scored per game. He couldn't play as much as Lewandowski for example because he was injured for a long time as we all know it already. But Haaland is still not affected by that even a little. He just continues to score many goals like nothing happened. Not all the players can do the same as Haaland.
Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage!
My favourite teams to pass this round respectively are PSG, Liverpool and Manchester United. And I bet that most people have the same opinion as mine. Compared to the other draws, Liverpool have an easier job to do against Inter. I don't underestimate Inter, don't get me wrong about it. I just say that both of them are strong teams but Liverpool's game is way ahead of Inter now.
Liverpool are the strongest at the moment in my opinion although some of the other team were also outstanding during the group stage and I think they can qualify easily. Munich is a German team that is more likely to reach the quarter-finals or semi-finals this season than some of the favorite like Ajax, Manchester United or Real Madrid. But before we talk further about who is the best then I think we just have to wait for the first leg to start in February.I assume that you mean Liverpool are the strongest among all the teams which have qualified for the current round. It is your claim of course but I also suppose that they are really one of the strongest and closest teams to the Champions League title now certainly. But they should never lose their current level of discipline. Klopp should get them ready very well for their each game.

Another one is Miami Heat vs Sixers. Joel Embiid and Seth Curry are questionable but it doesn't give an assurance that they will sit out. The odds for Miami Heat are attractive to me and the Sixers will have lesser firepower on both offense and defense without Embiid. Miami Heat is still on the roster handicapped and almost all the entire key players are out but they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls recently with that lineup which leads me to think that they can handle the Sixers, especially if Embiid won't play.

This is a really good one actually. But the missing players situation is lowering the excitement level of this game already. Especially Heat have so many missing players now. And it is a big handicap for 76ers not to have Seth Curry and Joel Embiid in this game. They are their best scorers in the end. Maybe we can still watch an enjoyable game which I really hope so.
