How can a team qualify for UEFA CL and at the end of the day, they failed to record brilliant performance in games. If these teams continue like this, I'm afraid they will be eliminated from UCL in the early stage. Manchester United and Newcastle are the two English team's that are struggling in UEFA Champions League competition, though there are other teams that are also facing challenges, Red Devils and the Magpies will take decisive measures if only they're keen on bouncing back to form. For quick reminder,  Manchester United and Newcastle are ranked the least team's in their perspective groups.

Now they still need a process because after all when talking about Newcastle and the Champions League this is clearly for them still unfamiliar so to be able to compete in the Champions League they must start continuing to improve performance in terms of players and quality first because this is important if in the end they want something more in the EPL and Champions League then indeed improvements must continue to be made and with their resources currently abundant it is not a difficult thing for Newcastle.
This season, even if they can't qualify for the knock out phase I think with such a tough club situation there will be no problem for them and will even be highly praised for being able to immediately compete with the big clubs subscribed to the Champions League.

I don't know why Ten Hag is finding it difficult to take Manchester United to where they belong because they have all the good players in the club,but yet,he hasn't been able to find a strategy he can be using to win matches.Ten Have isn't abetter coach and I think everyone have seen it now.Taking a look at what happened last night,instead of him to change a striker and put in a defender since Rashford has shown red card,he replace a player with another striker when he knows threat will be put on them after the Red car.Now Man U must be thinking of what to do in order to remove him from that position as the head coach.

Erik Ten Hag still has enough time to improve Manchester United's performance, but if Erik Ten Hag can do it, currently Manchester United continues to experience a decline in performance and it even looks like Manchester United's chances of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League will be difficult to achieve, last season Erik Ten Hag succeeded in bringing Manchester United to finish in third place but it looks like this season will be a little difficult because Manchester United is experiencing difficulties in terms of players. Erik Ten Hag finds it difficult to develop the playing style of his players so he continues to decline.
Indeed, Man Utd still has 27 matches remaining, but Manchester United has currently experienced 5 defeats even though they have only played 11 matches, whereas last season Manchester Utd experienced only 9 defeats from a total of 38 matches, so from this it can be concluded that Man Utd is in condition not good this season.

It seems difficult to get through the group in the UCL because of yesterday's defeat against Copenhagen of course Manchester United can focus more on the EPL, because that way they can recover from the current situation which doesn't look good, Manchester United really isn't ready to play in the UCL and there are many who they have to improve and learn so they experienced a lot of defeats in the UCL, I think Ten Hag needs to bring his team to perform better and focus on the EPL.

So far in the EPL, Manchester United is actually not too bad, out of the last five matches they have only lost twice, but in several other matches Manchester United has lost, therefore it is time for Ten Hag to return his team's focus to the EPL because there is still time. to improve and catch up to move to the top of the standings or the top four.

It makes sense if we take Manchester United's defeat to the Premier League because then there is no reason for the Red Devils not to focus on improving their performance in the Premier League. There are positive points, right? However, if this opportunity is not utilized properly and instead makes Manchester United enjoy their downturn, it means that this season will be an unforgettable season, especially for United fans. Of the 38 matches, there are 27 remaining matches and in my opinion it is still long enough for Ten Hag to develop this club. At least they can occupy the top 5 standings at the end of the season (if only).

Newcastle's development actually reminds me of Man City's development when the club changed ownership. In the past, Man City was not too feared. But now we know Man City is one of the clubs most feared by opponents in European football. And I think one day Newcastle might also have the same improvement as Man City. Although maybe it won't be as great as Man City. But one day it looks like the Newcastle club will truly become a club that is also respected by other clubs. Because even now this club's reputation is increasing. And since last season Newcastle has become a club that is starting to be respected by other clubs. We cannot ignore their poor performance in the UCL. But seeing their very minimal experience, everyone understands it.

Arsenal have suffered some injury crisis of recent,and it has hampared their performances this season.They are without Odegard,Partey,Timber and Gabriel Jesus.These are players who have important and significant impact on and off the pitch.Partey is the engine room to Arsenal's midfield,and when ever they play without him,it seems that midfield doesn't have a good shape.Last night was one of their best games ever because they showed class through out the game.They are leading in their group with 9 points now.It won't be a surprise if Arsenal get to the final or semi final in this Champions league because they are playing beautiful football that can make them to bigger stages in the competition.

there is a possibility that some fans will be disappointed who dont understand Newcastle history, but fans who have been following Newcastle for a long time will not feel disappointed because it is still too early for Newcastle who have to try to compete in big competitions in the UCL, while tough opponents like Dortmund have more experience in the UCL. Meanwhile, Man United may have several seasons before they really get quality players and an experienced coach this team will find it difficult to win another title in the UCL.

upcoming match Newcastle vs Bournemouth logically Newcastle should win against a team that is at the bottom of the standings but when I look at the odds provided the bookmaker there is a little suspicion because usually the team that is the favorite and has a big chance of winning the match usually has odds of around @1.2 or maybe lower but the current odds of Newcastle @1.6 are too high for the team to win and with this suspicion I will place a bet while the match is in progress to confirm if Newcastle will actually win this match as I was a little disappointed in the previous bet too much shock.

I also found the odds a little strange on the Wolves vs Spurs match. bookmaker provides odds for Spurs @2.14 and this is a very high odds for the favorite team for me even though the h2h history is almost the same but I will not use h2h as an analysis, rather look at the overall performance of the two teams at this time and I am also suspicious if Wolves are likely to win or draw.

Makes sense whenever we emphasize on the need for the managers to improve on the club's squad depth. For a strong club like Manchester City in this season, John Stones who is also an important player in the first XI, should not be the only option  they've gotten as a team.

It is obvious that the injury on Stones have left the club in troubles as it was read through the comments of the manager, Pep Guardiola himself. Stones only came back to the pitch in October after he had went off for two months over hip problems. Now he's down again with another injury on his muscles making Pep Guardiola to fear over his absence for another while.

Now, the manager have to face the difficulty of playing a couple of match without Rodri and Stones since both substitutes will be absent from the pitch for a while.


This is absolutely the case of Tottenham and Chelsea yesterday. The misfortune that befall Tottenham was as a result of the two red cards that dropped their first XI squads in the field to nine. The mistake had already been made and the club was to pay for their mistakes by taking the bullet on their foreheads.

Did what Newcastle get disappoint their fans? I think not because as you said they still lack experience in this big tournament and are also in the most difficult group this season so that will make it a big challenge, what they got is still better than what Manchester United got. Manchester United, who have won the Champions League three times, have looked very bad this season and last night's defeat makes it even more convincing that they will have big problems in the competition.

Newcastle, who lost in the Champions League, will soon recover to face Bournemouth in the English Premier League match, actually, this will not be a difficult match for them, and they will have the opportunity to get 3 points even though this is an away match, my prediction is that Newcastle will have the opportunity to score lots of goals because They are one of the teams that has been quite productive this season.

This mentality is very influential, especially in UCL matches which have a different atmosphere and tension compared to Premier League matches, but so far the Newcastle team's progress since last season continues to improve and the Newcastle team has really become one of the top Premier League teams. I am sure that in the next 3 or 4 years the Newcastle team will be on par with other top European teams.
Everything requires a process and Newcastle is going through or carrying out that process.

I think when it comes to City's backline,they are always very solid with or without any player.Pep arranged all the different units or wings in the team in such a way that if one player gets injured,there must be another better player to replace him at that position.The only player City have struggled to replace when injured is Rodri,when when was giving a red card,City lost all the three matches to show how important he was on the field.Therefore,his absence will not make them wants to lose because they have quality defenders who can cover in that position, although I know how important he is to the team,but I think they will keep winning games without him.

Feelings of disbelief and disappointment were of course felt by all Tottenham fans who had believed that their proud squad could beat Chelsea and return to first place, but now these hopes have failed so will have to catch up at later date.
But this is football which always provides unexpected surprises and cases like this should make us more careful in the future so as not to rely too much on the favorite team that is superior.

It just that if in that match the two defenders from Tottenham, Romero and Udogie don't get red card then Chelsea will become Tottenham month of the month with as many goals as they have conceded.
It was clear that Tottenham game was starting to fall apart and each player in their respective positions couldn't focus because they had to help the defense line which had lost two players, plus the match referee didn't seem very fair in my opinion which.

But there is no need to worry because Tottenham is strong enough team so in the future there will still be opportunities for them to rise and develop.
Tottenham and Manchester City will be fierce rivals this season.

I don't think, this injury will affect their next match because I know that Manchester city coach has many qualified players on the bench he can use to handle such position until that player recover from injury like what is happening to De Bruyne and his position is well handle in some matches now. John stones has proven to people that he is very good in that center back,  and he has done a great job to make that position so strong for the young boys not to have access to their goalpost until they received disgrace from Manchester city in the champion league competition that made many people to concluded that Manchester city is the strongest team in that group. Manchester city always have hard match with Liverpool in every season, but this season match will not going to be a tough match because De Bruyne is planning to join Manchester city soon to make the works easy for Erling Haaland so that they can maintain consistent winning till the end of this tournament.

It would be so strange if newcastle didn't even perform like that. It's caused by newcastle has gotten oil's money which was unlimited. The club needs to be even better than before with the support of oil money. Being manchester city's level is a must or at least a standard for newcastle in the future that must be achieved by the club. The performance of newcastle becomes even better and better. Newcastle is going to face chelsea soon. This is going to be another interesting match to watch.


Newcastle was as good as arsenal. No doubt if the club is performing so well. You shall also remember that if arsenal was a bottle club and people known this so well. No reason for arsenal to make another excuse after lose against newcastle.
Newcastle has not yet reached its peak. The club is still struggling in the champion league but i don't know what was the reason newcastke finds difficult to compete in UCL.

The performance shown by Newcastle was slightly different when they played in the UCL, EFL and Premier League. At UCL maybe they weren't really mentally prepared. Their confidence slowly decreased in the group phase. But in the Premier League we can see that Arsenal even lost to Newcastle last week. Not only that, Newcastle also managed to beat Man City and Man United in the EFL. So actually Newcastle's performance was very good. But they are not ready to accept heavier pressure like in the UCL. So it seems that everyone is not surprised by Newcastle's defeat in the UCL. But every time Newcastle loses in the Premier League, it is natural for everyone to feel disappointed. Because last season Newcastle in the Premier League was really difficult to beat.

Sept 17, 2020 : PSG win with 9 players news
February 9, 2017 : 9 Players AC Milan defeat Bologna 1-0.



Football is a game where sometimes luck plays a role, and at times, strategies are crucial. Even with just 9 players, it's not impossible to win, although it's tough to go up against a full 11-player team. What's interesting is that Chelsea also performed better in that match, and Tottenham was too focused on attacking in the final minutes of the second half, neglecting their defense.

Big teams , especially top 5 should be cautious of Chelsea... as they gave Arsenal a tough time even though Chelsea's performance hasn't been consistent.

Irrespective of the position Newcastle will finish in the champions league, I will be very proud of them because they performed well above my expectations even as this is their first season in the champions league after many decades, and all players playing currently in the team are just having their first champions league experience. Let us not forget, they won a big team like PSG who have a bunch full of experience in the Champions league and made that group more competitive not to know who will qualify for the next round amongst them. They can still fight for the next round or at worse book a spot in the Europa League after the group stage but it still all depend on their performance in the remaining two matches from now.


Newcastle in the premier league is different from Newcastle in the champions league. They must have lost in their past three matches but that doesn’t change or make me have a different about their performance in the premier league. They will certainly bounce back to continue their good form and the EFL Cup and premier league title is still within their reach for now.

You are right that Newcastle are unlucky because they have to be in Group F which is filled with clubs who already have much more experience in the UCL. But I was quite surprised when Newcastle was able to beat PSG. Well, in this match Newcastle showed the potential that they can develop in the future. This means they are no less strong than PSG if they are in a strong mental condition. And perhaps Newcastle's real challenge is the players' lack of experience and lack of self-confidence. So you are right that we don't need to be disappointed if Newcastle don't get through the group stage. Because the opponents they face in Group F are really not easy opponents. But the opportunity is still open there, with 2 more matches remaining in the group stage, everything can turn around quickly.
