The competition in both leagues differ, the English Premier league is a lot more physical and intense compared to the La liga. If Barcelona were competing in the EPL they surely won't be sitting second place and a point away from the league leaders. The Laliga is not as tough as the EPL that is why Barcelona are not able to keep an impressive performance competing in the Champions league this season. It is a shame they will drop to the Europa league this season.
The EPL contains teams with players who are able to do good teamwork and have a good strategy in terms of defense and attack, while Barcelona currently has strength only in the attacking line, while their defense is still relatively weak because it is often broken by opponents, this must be corrected by the Barcelona coach because the defense is very important to fend off all attacks from the opponent before finally still in the EPL again.

It looks like Manchester United have started to be in search of a striker already now. Because I'm hearing about some names such as Dusan Vlahovic. As for him I don't have very positive thoughts about this transfer. Above all else Juventus wouldn't like to let him go this quick. There hasn't been even a year since he joined Juventus. He has a satisfying level of a performance now and he is one of the talented and young strikers. Manchester United had better look for other alternatives.
For example, Harry Kane would be a great choice. He is a solid striker and very experienced at the same time. However even if they convince Tottenham to let him go there would be Bayern Munich also on the line to sign him. In this case I don't know what Kane's choice would be.
I don’t think Dusan Vlahovic will be going to Manchester United anytime soon, Vlahovic still has a long term contract with Juventus as he is the main striker leading their attacking lines so this transfer speculation is not likely to be realistic in January because like you said Vlahovic is a key player for Juventus and they wouldn’t want to let him go. Harry Kane would also be a good alternative for United but they will face competition with Bayern Munich if Tottenham eventually decide to sell. In the end it would come to who comes with the best offers. For example, Harry Kane would be a great choice. He is a solid striker and very experienced at the same time. However even if they convince Tottenham to let him go there would be Bayern Munich also on the line to sign him. In this case I don't know what Kane's choice would be.
There was a rumour Barcelona and Iñigo Martínez already have personal deal and he will be arrived to Barcelona at the end of this season and besides Martinez other name such as Diogo Dalot also appears as Barcelona watchlist player this because Dalot contract will be expired on June 2023 and his agent will looking for new clubs and the rumor is he offering Dalot to Barcelona
Iñigo Martínez will join Barcelona at the end of the season? If it is true, so Barcelona only has 4 center backs until this season is over. Why they don't sign him to move to Barcelona in January (next transfer window)? I think Barcelona really needs a new center-back to finish this season, they can't wait until the season is over. Anyway, if Barcelona already reached a personal agreement with Iñigo Martínez, we can assume he will join Barcelona. I am sure Athletic Bilbao won't ask a big money for Iñigo Martínez since his contract is almost over (Jun 30, 2023) and he is already 31 years old too. Barcelona seems to have no problem with the transfer fees. BREAKING:Southampton have decided to sack Ralph Hasenhuttl.

I know that many English clubs will begin to sack their coaches especially as Emry just arrived Aston Villa and got an immediate result.
EPL is full of competition this season and it is also full of surprises. No one is safe.
Other clubs premier league clubs sacking their coach is not a guarantee that if new coach is brought in it will transform the club so very fast. Clubs should have a meaningful reason why they should take decisions to sack coach. (Source: The Athletic UK)

Since Emery arrival to Aston Villa, things have changed for the better, the team has improved and is looking more organized. The epl is a very competitive league and I also think this short term success of Emery may stir other teams performing poorly to consider sacking their coaches and signing new ones to improve the team. It is no shock that Southampton have decided to sack their coach at this time. (Source: The Athletic UK)

In Champions League, Liverpool is having some remarkable success. They have not lost a single match in the last five Champions League matches.
But they are not performing well in the English Premier League. I really don’t know if Liverpool has good enough success in the Champions League will it be a good enough reason to keep Jürgen Klopp?
I think he should finish in the top six in the Premier League and win the Champions League title. That will probably make people believe that he is still worthy.
I agree with @Sterbens that I have not heard anything about Liverpool sacking the coach. I don’t think they are thinking about that right now. I believe they are giving the coach some time to fix the problems that they are facing.
Well, in this case, it's true that even if they saw their performance wasn't too good in the EPL, they were still quite happy with the result of the match in the Champions League, even though the defeat of Napoli in the first match was still a little difficult not to criticize.But they are not performing well in the English Premier League. I really don’t know if Liverpool has good enough success in the Champions League will it be a good enough reason to keep Jürgen Klopp?

Finishing in the top 6 is not too good for Klopp because in this case Klopp has been reminded that their target must be in the top 4 and when he can't run the target then there is a high possibility of dismissal.
Things are definitely heating up in EPL, clubs are desperate to be on top and do not mind changing managers in the middle of the season. There are rumors that Klopp’s reign at Liverpool may come to an end if they continue to perform badly but come to think of it Klopp is one of those coaches who have been outstanding in Europe, I would advice they retain Klopp, this things happen to every club, it is a phase and it will definitely pass, a little more patience and I believe things will get better.

Southampton's performance has not been very good this season and indeed the results of some of the matches they have run are actually not good, especially with the last 5 matches 2 defeats, 2 draws and 1 win clearly making the officials there seem furious.(Source: The Athletic UK)

It could have been a pretty good decision but at the moment with their current condition it is clear they have to find a new coach quickly.
There are quite good players in the premier league this season and the flop ones are trying their best to come back to their best form. Like Madison in Leicester, he's one of the good Midfielders the Foxes have and they would look to prolong his contract with the team. Maddison always delivered in almost every game he feature in, the team fumble in the early starts of the season but they got along when when no one thought they could bounced back. Leicester are not going to be relegated, that's facts.
Xavi is not a bad coach what is happening to Barcelona had already happened to Manchester United.
Barcelona fans are measuring Xavi performance with a mind of what Barcelona used to be five seasons ago.
Barcelona is not used to playing in Europa League and they are not used to losing big games .It is that same mentality that they are using to measure the present Barcelona.
I think that he need a little more time to adapt to the present Barcelona and make the club a better one.

But statistics have already been cited where it can be seen that Xavi's performance at the end of 50 games is at a very low level. I would not compare the fall of United and Barcelona - in England the level of competition is excessively high and if you fall from the top, then you are not in second or third place, but immediately in 7-8. If there was a similar level of competition in La Liga, then I'm not sure that Barcelona would have kept a formally "decent" lag with Real Madrid.
News of Firmino's departure has been circulating since last season because it is true that, despite his almost expiring contract, Liverpool have several young players who have shifted their position.
But maybe now it will be a little different because some time ago I read the news that it was said Firmino was discussing a new contract with Liverpool now and that was indeed the impact of his performance this season which could still bring Liverpool in some crucial leagues, especially at this time Liverpool are still very difficult to win. attack so that letting Firmino go was clearly not the right decision.
Roberto Firmino is one of Liverpool best players if they let him go it will be difficult to get a win even though they have many players who still have a young age that doesn't necessarily guarantee victory, so at least Liverpool should try to consider Roberto Firmino to keep his position at Liverpool .But maybe now it will be a little different because some time ago I read the news that it was said Firmino was discussing a new contract with Liverpool now and that was indeed the impact of his performance this season which could still bring Liverpool in some crucial leagues, especially at this time Liverpool are still very difficult to win. attack so that letting Firmino go was clearly not the right decision.
Chelsea and Manchester United both are rumoured to be after the signing of Rafael Leao.
There are some rumours like they are both ready to pay around a 105 million-pound transfer fee to sign him. Chelsea have already been after him for a long time. They were after him in the previous transfer window but Milan weren't eager to discuss terms with them. As Manchester United would also make use of a talented attacker they have also joined the race seemingly. He has really impressive statistics so far. His contract ends in less than two years. So Milan should focus on extending his contract before next summer. Otherwise they might be really likely to lose him.
Rafael Leao is an excellent player and will add depth to both teams attack. But Man United should prioritize other options mostly center forward. 105 is such a huge sum and United should go for both Gakpo and Osehinmen rather. Both are physical players that could add the area prowess United need to them. There are some rumours like they are both ready to pay around a 105 million-pound transfer fee to sign him.

Right. Liverpool should think twice about sacking Klopp, Liverpool decline in performance can still be controlled without having to take decisive action. Firing Klopp will add new problems for Liverpool, Klopp deserves to be given the opportunity until the end of the season to reorganize the Liverpool squad to be more solid.
The problem Liverpool faces is in defense, they concede more often even though they are dealing with weaker opponents. Liverpool's attack line also needs to be considered, Mane's departure makes Salah seem to have lost his enthusiasm for playing. The presence of Nunez has not been able to contribute to Liverpool, Nunez who is expected to be an ideal duo with Salah has not been able to adapt well.
The purchase of new players in the January transfer market must be done by Liverpool to strengthen the depth of the team, Klopp needs several new players, especially in the Defense and Attack lines to bring Liverpool back to compete in the top four.
It's no longer a matter of defense or Nunez who can't deliver on Liverpool big ambitions. But it all stems from the lack of support from Liverpool top brass towards Klopp, which Klopp wants additional players. And this season's transfer market Liverpool did not spend much. Felt as if Mane's vacant position would be covered by Nunez. If that's all, then still think Nunez is competent? Klopp needed new players and he never got what he wanted, while the wishes of the Liverpool bosses continued to be fulfilled by Klopp.The problem Liverpool faces is in defense, they concede more often even though they are dealing with weaker opponents.

Klopp is not a bad coach, because Klopp's contribution to Liverpool has been extraordinary and there is no suitable coach to replace him. But this is a matter of the satisfaction of a coach who is not supported by buying players.
Something I am not sure about, but I have heard that the owners of Liverpool really do not want to spend a lot of money on Liverpool. They just want high-quality results for the minimum amount of money that they can spend. A lot of people even told me that this was the reason they brought Klopp in the first place. Again, I don’t take any guarantee of this being true, but I have heard a hard-core Liverpool fan say this.
I think it is true because I have hardly seen Liverpool spend a lot of money in any transfer market. But they have still been performing very well. Right now I know it does not feel like Jürgen Klopp is going to get financial support. But honestly, this is when he needs support the most.

105 million pounds is a really huge amount for Rafael Leao. I know he is a good player and very talented but at his age and level in his career I think he is worth 60 to 80 million. Another issue is AC Milan will not be willing to let their star player leave in January so this will be a stumbling block in the deal. He still has a contract running till 2024 which will also be a problem for potential buyers Manchester United and Chelsea.

Its actually kinda fair considering that Southampton hasnt been getting any significant result ever since Ralph took over. His managerial win rate with Southampton is only at 34% and the best position that Southampton ever got was 11th, ever since that their position has been at the bottom with close call to the relegation zone for the last few season(Source: The Athletic UK)

Throughout the English Premier League, I think that the level of competition is really high. As a result, it is quite obvious that a number of coaches will be dismissed from their positions. It is because the performance of a few teams is not up to the mark.
It is quite understandable why Ralph Hasenhuttl has been sacked from his position. It was not possible for him to improve Southampton's performance as a result of his leadership. At this moment, I think that the teams below that are also not safe at this moment, as well. In any case, not their coaches at least.
While Messi is currently focused on the World Cup, which both him and his team's goal, and PSG management has already stated that they are happy to extend his contract, which is set to expire at the end of this season, most chances are he will stay here for longer. After all, at the end of this season. Like Barcelona is developing squad for long time future which needs youngsters instead of player like Messi same happening in other clubs so with this all current situation most chances he will be ended his career at his current club PSG because they are only those can afford his salary and bonuses with good time for him in first team as well. Due to the fact that Messi's current club, PSG, is the only one that can afford to pay his salary and bonuses while also giving him a chance to play for the first team, and that Barcelona is building a team for the long term that needs youngsters rather than players like Messi, there are high chances that he will end his career there.

Will Klopp be sacked in the end?
As far as I know there is a possibility that Klopp will be sacked but not because he is bad at managing the team. It's just that Klopp's moment and grip on the team is nowhere to be seen. Losing to Leeds and Nottingham Forest is proof that a club as big as Liverpool has experienced many setbacks. Again not because Klopp is bad at team building, but it looks like Klopp has lost the support of Liverpool's top brass. The management team did not provide the players Klopp needed and only relied on the remaining players. If we look ahead Liverpool will find it difficult to compete with several clubs such as Man City, Chelsea and even Newcastle because they have good enough finances to supply the purchase of players. Meanwhile, Liverpool are currently moving away from the top 5 positions in the standings.
Liverpool don't have any reason to sack their coach because what happened to Kloop at the beginning of the season can also happen to anyone.As far as I know there is a possibility that Klopp will be sacked but not because he is bad at managing the team.

Liverpool is doing well in the Champions League and they are not too far from the top four in the English Premier League.
What Kloop needs is support to enable him manage the club till anuary and they will make some good signings
In Champions League, Liverpool is having some remarkable success. They have not lost a single match in the last five Champions League matches.
But they are not performing well in the English Premier League. I really don’t know if Liverpool has good enough success in the Champions League will it be a good enough reason to keep Jürgen Klopp?

Let's say they fired Klopp. Who will replace him? I think it would be unfair to think that while Klopp's progress in the champions league was very good, he should be fired because they got into this situation in the league. He made it to the final and lost in the champions league. The next level of this is already getting the trophy. I believe it will be successful. They will use the Premier League as a tool to reach the Champions League this season. You can't be a champion every year. Such drops are quite normal. I agree with what has been written and I don't think Liverpool have any plans to fire Klopp.
