Situation is now clearly gone from bad to worse for Citizens as they are having 1 win from their last 10 games with 2 draws and 7 defeats chances are high they can face early exit from Champions League as well which could be another low point and their Premier League hopes are also now going down their players are having lack of confidence and their moral is also down which giving them no motivation to have things change.
I was never thinking that Manchester city would ever win Juventus. When I saw their odds bigger in the bookies, I was surprised as to why the biomarkers would give them such a big odds of to win city with their current unstable form. Guardiola needs to act fast because their performances currently in matches is bad and the consistency in bad outcomes keeps increasing and gets me concerned as to  how bad it can really get. City is underperforming seriously. I hope they don't finish much down the table in EPL
The reason why so many people are not coming to the reality that Manchester City is in a very big mess is because of their past records. If this present form of Manchester City is been undergone by Chelsea, many people would have agreed and start suggesting that Chelsea will even be relegated. But for the fact that it happens to Manchester City, everyone is afraid to state the reality and we are still expecting them to return to good form and become the champion of the English Premier League this season. But that is far from the reality because it is difficult to balance back when you are very far behind.

Talking about the bookmakers and the odds they set, most times they are confused and have no valid data to set odds. By then they will have nothing else to do than to play mind games with the gamblers.
The level of deterioration the club is facing, even the coach is confused and I'll say almost out of options and tactics. A good number of their key players, including Rodri are still injured , they have a good bench but has not improved but heading for the worse. Guardiola must be regretting releasing Palmer everyday seeing what the boy has become at Chelsea.

Everything is obvious that they're really having a bad season and they're getting weaker as the days go by even if fans are denying that awareness. Maybe the January transfer window can help them get new players that would strengthen their team, else they may finish outside of top four and no European competition for them next season.

I think it's not about underestimating a certain team when the next match takes place in January, because all teams will definitely make changes to their playing style and to their line-up of players who are obtained through the transfer market. So it can not only happen to Girona, but also to Milan because any team will definitely continue to monitor the players available in the January transfer market because if the price is affordable enough, of course every team will try to get them if the player has a good career in the previous team.
Girona is almost certain to be eliminated from the Champions League because they were only able to collect three points and in terms of experience, the results obtained by Girona when competing in the Champions League did not show any readiness at all. There will not be many changes for the existing teams because in the Champions League, experience may be needed and for teams that are not favored, they may have the same chance even though they recruit several players in the transfer market.

Milan still has a chance to qualify for the next round, but they need to work harder because to qualify for the next round by relying on the play-off route, they also need to see the results of several competing teams, but if you look at the points they have, the chances are still quite large.

Richarlison said that if Vinnie doesn't win the Ballon d'Or, shit will fall. The award went to Rodri but after that City literally fell (everyone sees absolutely abnormal results), and the other day Richarlison had a post about the Lord punishing the thief (something like that). True or not, it turns out that Richarlison's curse works.
I almost missed this…
LMAO   Grin Grin I never checked, didn’t even know he posted that and yes the shit is currently falling Grin.
Vinci was  suppose to win it though but he had a bad performance playing for his country though he was still suppose to win it but I don’t know how it ended up with Rodri.. Hence , checking Rodri stats from the previous season over qualified him Cheesy (yet he was robbed then ). He’s not the fist person to get robbed,Lewandoski is still left with the scar today and he’s likely not going to get any Balon D Or, he’s young and likely to still have other chance but the vote was a little biased generally.
About the curse, I don’t think it currently what’s happening just that there’s a coincidence to when it’s happening, very funny Cheesy, it’s all just a game .

Well, the problem is that in the transfer market, several teams are still competing to get players to be recruited and in my opinion, popular teams have a greater chance of getting the player. For example, Girona and Milan are competing to bring in the same player. Of course, the player will consider the more popular team in order to get a bigger career.
But that's just a few small things from this discussion and what is certain is that in january the competition will be more interesting. Because there are 2 certainties between several teams experiencing an increase or even a decrease in performance.
For Girona, I still doubt it, but for Milan, I still believe that this team will have a good increase after bringing in new players in january.

Manchester City was drop before the time, they will most likely overtake Girona on the bottom board because they don't have been able to adaption the new system, this was once expressed by Pep in the interview session that the new system makes their players tired, and easy to get injured. he hopes this new system will not be continued for next season, and come back to old system.
It's pep's fault for not even aware about how intensive their schedule this season. Also, some of his players are injury prone as well. It's wrong if he blames the new system.
but there is actually a fairness when complaining about the new format at this time because we must be aware that complaining about the new format this time is not only done by one or 2 parties but many parties feel disadvantaged by the tight schedule and make it as if players are robots who must be able and ready to play every day.

On average for a big club with several competitions they do such as Madrid, Manchester City and several other big clubs they sometimes spend 1 week for 3 matches which means that in 1 match only 2 days at most are given a break which of course this clearly has a very extraordinary impact on fatigue so it is not wrong to complain about this.

But on the other hand when the format has been decided from the start in the end they also cannot refuse because it is too late of course and what must be done is to try as best as possible to minimize this so as not to cause great fatigue.

Milan will face Girona in San Siro in January. Then Girona can be a more dangerous team with the transfers.

Girona lost five matches including getting beaten by Sturm Graz, their whole European experience is close to zero, and more important than that they are mathematically out of the Champions League since they only have 3 points and the team placed right 24th has already 8 points, it would be impossible for City Eindhoven and PSG to not make a single point and at the same time no other team below to make any, at least victory.

So, why would Girona bother with that match when they should focus on catching a UEFA place in the Spanish league?
You don't have to analyze only past performance, you have to think what's at stake and why would they even play at their max since there is nothing to gain?

Milan managed to get 3 points from Real Madrid by doing the hard work. I think they should get 6 points in their remaining matches and be in the top 8 teams.

Arsenal vs Monaco.

I am glad that this match was won by Arsenal, they defeated Manaco with a fairly large score. Although G Jesus and Martinelli did not get good marks based on statistics, Arsenal's first goal was thanks to an assist from G Jesus. and the best of the Arsenal players was none other than Bukayo Saka, he was able to score 2 goals in this match. It seems that the impact of G Jesus' less than optimal performance was replaced by Kai Havertz, and he was able to lock Arsenal's victory in the 88th minute through an assist from Saka. As a result, Arsenal is now in 3rd place in the qualifying table.



Dortmund vs Barcelona.

This match seems quite exciting, Hansi Flick's team really pressed high in the first half, unfortunately in the second half the situation turned around, Dortmund dominated possession of the ball. The goal was scored in the 53rd minute through Raphina's shot, unfortunately Guirassy was able to equalize. Barca widened their lead again, but again Dortmund was able to reply.  fortunately, the player who did not have many expectations was able to lock in the victory for Barca, yes Ferran Torres this time deserves appreciation.



Juventus vs Manchester City.

Funny indeed, I hope City can return to its real performance, but all of that is beyond my expectations, City fell to Juventus. I don't know what will happen in the future with City, what is certain is that Pep must do something so that his team returns to showing its best performance.
of the three matches that are included in my bet with various betting options, only City is really annoying.



Arsenal was expected to win they were the main favorites just didnt expect it to be this large against a team that is really good this year. Dortmund continues to struggle against Spanish teams and lose at home a match that could have sealed them the top 8 positions. While Man City is just awful this season losing to Juventus that this isnt still isnt looking good
Arsenal football team won the last match by doing 3 goals and that match was totally one sided and I am impressed by players of that team because they gave excellent performance in this match and one person did 2 goals in this match and that was Saka who did first goal at 34 minutes of the match and after few minutes he did second goal of the match and became successful to do second goal of the match a d he did this goal at 78 minutes. Havertz did last goal of the match. I watched the match of UEFA Champions League no one will say that match was two sided because one only team did goals again and again.Monaco football team did not goal in this match and that is the reason that thet are not winner of this match.

I think that for this we need to look at the top 8 and think which teams can lose their place, it could be Brest and Lille, because the others are strong enough to hold on to the result. But there are also many contenders besides Milan who would like to rise to the coveted top 8. So I think that Milan will continue their path in this Champions League from the 1/16 finals, not the best option, because these are additional matches and a burden for the players, but I initially did not assume that Milan would be able to do this, but if Bayern and Real are outside the top 8, this is a surprise for me.

That's because people don't look at the matches the team has to play!
Milan started poorly but they played against Crvena and they have matches against Girona and Zagreb, normally an easy job to get 6 points from those!
Same as Bayern who everyone thought no, they were out of the league, they have a match against Feyenoord and 3 easy points against Bratislava!

On the opposite side, Brest was in the top places, but they met Barcelona, and now they will face also Madrid, so most likely it is bye bye the top 8.
Milan will face Girona in San Siro in January. Then Girona can be a more dangerous team with the transfers. They should never underestimate the Spanish team in the fight they will have against them. Milan managed to get 3 points from Real Madrid by doing the hard work. I think they should get 6 points in their remaining matches and be in the top 8 teams.
Fonseca will be ready to achieve three points against Girona, who are not that strong this season with one victory in all their UCL matches this season. However, their last match against Liverpool shows that they are improving in performance. The match will be in favour of Milan because they are playing at home, and they're stronger than Girona currently. Buying new players is not the issue, but how fast will they adapt to the club's game pattern.

Milan win from Crvena zvezda is really predictable result because Milan is a big team in Europa so this match should be easy for them but a bit dissapoint because Milan unable to win with big scores from this match but indeed win is still win  because basically Milan can successfully to earn 3 points from this match and currently Milan has 12 points from 6 matches and Milan performance in this competition is more stable compared to in Serie A because they can able to managed their consistency and for 2 upcoming matches Milan will fight against Girona and Dinamo Zagreb and if Milan can able to beat these teams probably they can improved their position on League phase and finish at top 8

But was the way Milan won was also predictable? I don't think so honestly. Because they had serious problems during the game despite even playing at San Siro.  Sad

That winning goal came quite late. It was thanks to Abraham who has recovered from an injury recently. He has been trying really hard since he came back as he is really productive.

Anyways can Milan throw themselves into top 8? It isn't impossible considering the gap is only 1 point. But there are so many teams with the same points around there. But at least their last games are easy ones against Girona and Dinamo Zagreb on paper.

in terms of game quality, if Milan can keep their performance stable, Milan can get the win. whether they can get into the top 8 or not, also depends on the results of the other teams.
the performance of the teams in the top 8 standings is not bad, they appear extraordinary and are dominated by strong teams. if they can't qualify directly then they have to work hard through the playoffs. of course, it's not easy but if they have fairly easy opponents they can easily qualify for the next round.

AC Milan even had a bad season in Serie A. So sometimes I don't have high hopes for this team. But in the remaining matches, namely against Girona and Dinamo Zagreb, I don't think it will be a difficult match for AC Milan. Because we know that even AC Milan was able to beat Real Madrid this season. So I think beating Girona will not be a big problem for AC Milan. Likewise with beating Dinamo Zagreb.

And I remain confident that at least AC Milan will qualify for the play-off round and then progress to the next stage. Because almost every season we always see AC Milan qualify for at least the top 16 or sometimes even the top 8. But for this season getting to the top 8 seems to be quite difficult. And maybe AC ​​Milan will at least be able to reach the top 16.

Regardless of the results of the match that they managed to win, but I am not too satisfied with what they showed, they still have many gaps that can be exploited by the opponent, proven by 1 goal that can be created by their opponent. They must minimize that, because if their opponent is stronger then it can be exploited again and it will be very dangerous for them. One thing that is still their weakness is that they have not been able to close the space perfectly, so that several times it has fatal consequences and also produces unsatisfactory results for them.

I love this new system, and I am 100% sure that big clubs will end up trying to make some changes on this new system because of what happened as well. Look at it, Real Madrid is 20th, and thanks to their latest win, they could have been literally out of top 24 if they didn't get this win.

Manchester City is 22nd, they are literally just barely in, and this is the team that did treble one and a half season ago, and now they are looking like they may literally miss their chance. Don't get me started on PSG, they are literally 25th and out of top 24 right now, sure they still have a chance to get back in, but that is just so weak. Not every big team is doing badly, but these big teams are definitely not looking good at all.
Many big clubs have not been able to adapt to the new system. the clubs you mentioned, one of which was not been able to adapt it. Many their player injured because the new system, and another club not yet familiar with tight schedule.

Those big clubs were not fully preparing. They're kinda stupid when they were not adding more players to their squad, and think to complete the longer season with their available squad. Their stubborness makes their players faced a higher injury risk due to the busy schedule. They should have copied what Chelsea has done to have at least 2 squad in the same club.

The new system has forced the club to milk their players to play even longer than what they did usually. It makes their players have to put more efforts in order to play in any competitions. This is really burdenting their stamina, phisic and morale.


Manchester City was drop before the time, they will most likely overtake Girona on the bottom board because they don't have been able to adaption the new system, this was once expressed by Pep in the interview session that the new system makes their players tired, and easy to get injured. he hopes this new system will not be continued for next season, and come back to old system.

In terms of quality, Man City should be able to beat PSG but the problem is that PSG will also fight as hard as they can when facing Manchester City, both teams need points so they can enter the play-off round and between them, of course, neither wants to give in and present a match with high tension that makes the match feel tense but it seems like I will favor Man City in the match. Pep Guardiola will definitely try hard so that his club can win.
Although PSG lost against big teams like Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, but their performance are good enough against small teams. Unlike Manchester City that lost against Bournemouth, Sporting Lisbon, and Tottenham.

If PSG didn't win, it mean the match will end in draw.

But, I'm more convinced PSG will win the match.
If we look realistically, of course PSG chances of qualifying are very small with the number of points they have at the moment, the remaining two matches they have also cannot guarantee they can qualify this season especially later if they have a worse point difference from other teams, indeed PSG often shows strong performance against small teams, and that can be a big advantage in maintaining their consistency, but facing manchester city and stuttgart is not an easy job for them, especially now that manchester city is also ambitious to get points after a bad performance in the previous match, I think the new format of the champions league this season seems to have become a nightmare for big teams where PSG, manchester city and even madrid are difficulty in the semi league phase.

I think Machester City's hopes of winning are getting slimmer, amid the turmoil of the multiple problems they are facing plus the defeat against Juventus is a severe blow to Machester City, Coach Pep Guardiola must think quickly and critically, he must be able to maximize the use of players in order to win the next match, Machester City must immediately rise from the slump they are currently facing.

I must say that Manchester City's defeat surprised me, with a team that i don't consider to be as fit as Juventus.
clearly they have to evaluate a little what the problem was in order to remedy it!
or they risk ruining an entire season and that wouldn't be nice
Believe me i am looking forward to hoping Manchester City will make a surprise in the next match, although thin, Manchester City still has a chance, hopefully they can make the best use of it in order to win in the upcoming match, i hope the defeat against Juventus makes Manchester City really evaluate themselves, in order to perform better.
