Well, for me I think they failed to seize their moment when they had the opportunity to sign victor Osimhen and they still didn't get any back up striker to support Nicolas Jackson which leaves the club in a very dangerous position. Chelsea's performance this season can be described as seemingly unstable in my own personal assessment, they lost one, won a couple of games and drew one and sometimes had to come from behind to snatch all 3 points and this goes to show that the team has some loopholes upfront and may require the services of a very good striker since Nicholas Jackson has not been able to be consistent in his role as striker for the club.

It's not an easy task to win Inter Milan, Manchester City knew it already because from the past match they had with Inter it was quite very tough for them, infact Inter is also another strong team that City players would find difficult to beat unlike they play with others.

@HajiBagi it's quite unfortunate that you are under rating the capacity of Inter over City. they might be able to win other stronger teams but when good tactics meets another good tactics it becomes a hard nut to crack. If Haaland the goal machine according to some people had gotten one opportunity to hit the net that would have been the only goal till the end of the match be he did succeed with that.

My prediction is City is going to drop points on Sunday. This is because Arsenal will park the bus for 90 minutes against them like what Inter did in UCL. And I'm not doubting my prediction considering Sunday's game is going to be an away game for Arsenal.

They’ve gotta learn how to break low blocks or they must share points with their rival in the Sunday game.

About the bet, i think it's quite risky if we're picking 1x2 bet, this is because the game is most likely to end with a draw. I'd prefer to take Double Chance for parlay, or Under for single bet.

They handled Manchester City with maturity because all the efforts Manchester City was putting towards getting a goal was not working and the player that mostly turn things around for them was assigned a player that did not give him any chance to score, this match made me to applaud on inter Milan coach because Manchester City is the most difficult club to establish a pattern that would stop them from doing what they are known for because in most of there matches on this premier League Haaland has been there scoring machine but this match from the inter Milan midfield to the defense was blocked for him.

I noticed that Fodden is not as active as he is last season, not that he is playing bad but if you watch him you will understand what I'm saying and besides he was very competitive with Haaland in terms of scoring but I'm no longer seeing that spirit in him or is it because the league is still early?.

Manchester City are strong but they are similar to other strong teams and they can not win all matches. Even if they beat Inter Milan in one match, they won't win Champions League because of that winning and Champions League is a tough competition that lasts many months and with many matches.

Manchester City can analyze their performance against Inter Milan and detect something which can be improved but that draw is not the end of their adventure in Champions League this season. They can win another Champions League after breaking a mental barrier and won a first Champions League title for their club two seasons ago. It's not easy especially after Real Madrid got Mbappe since the summer and become a stronger team with more powerful attacking system. Real Madrid won the title last season and are defending it in this season, they will continue to be one of biggest competitors against Manchester City.

A draw in the UCL is indeed not a satisfactory result because all teams really want to win so that they can be in a safer position so that they can immediately qualify for the next round without having to participate in the playoffs again. However, for teams as big as Manchester City and Inter Milan, I am sure that both will qualify for the next round because I am still sure that both teams can still win in the next match with different opponents in the UCL. And this weekend Manchester City must also be able to focus better because in the near future Manchester City will also face Arsenal in the Premier League and that is also not an easy opponent for Manchester City.

If any England team wins the champion League this season the team will be lucky because with the performance of Manchester City yesterday I don't think the Champions League can come to England this season, I know we have Liverpool and Arsenal after Manchester City in the Champions League but Manchester city is the only one that I think can be able to perform well in the champion league, Spain and Serie A league teams are very strong when it comes to champion league and they have started giving Manchester city problem from the beginning of the league.

Manchester City needs to be serious with their performance because what they played against Inter Milan was very poor and they will face a strong opponent even when they qualify from the group stage, Manchester City players are strong but I'm still doubting that they are not big game players because whenever Manchester City play against a big team in the champion league they find it difficult to score a goal in the match, so it will be good if any England team step up and play well to win the champion league this season.

Manchester City vs Arsenal

This is the big match of this weekend and we all know Manchester City has gets unsatisfactory result in Champion League because they only playing draw from Inter Milan so they want to used this match to bounce back however Arsenal so far can able to managed their performance although some of their key players are got injury but Arsenal still able to gets positive results and the latest is they can win from Tottenham

The latest condition about Manchester City is their important player Kevin De Bruyne potentially will be absense for this match because of injury and if this news is true i think it could be big lost for Manchester City because Kevin De Bruyne is the key of the game for Manchester City



About the percentages of winning i can see Manchester City is more good than Arsenal but i have no wonder about that because Arsenal under Arteta has poor records while met Manchester City especially at Ettihad Stadium and i haven't checked the odds yet but i assume Manchester City will being an the favourite of this match

Inter Milan played somewhat defensively in this match. Even then, Inter Milan players were able to make several strong attacks. Inter Milan's counter-attacks were strong. Manchester City's defense played very well. The goalkeeper also made several excellent saves. Otherwise, Inter Milan players would have been able to score.

However, both teams will probably be happy with 1 point in this match. Because both City and Milan are very strong teams. City are definitely fighting for the Champions League title. However, Inter Milan will also try their best to do well in the Champions League. The players of both the teams performed well in this match. This is why the match was a draw. As the defense of both teams was strong. This is why we don't see any goals in the match.

I think the Manchester United players also need to be applauded for taking the advantage they had against Barnsley to dominate, win the game and score plenty goals. The team may not have won against a very strong team but since it has been a very long time according to the image you posted that they scored such number of goals, playing well and scoring 7 goals in a very poor form they are right now I think they deserve to be praised because their motivation will be built to even doing better when they play against their next opponent in the English Premier League.

Erik Ten hag will be delighted to see his team scoring goals like they did and having recorded his biggest win he will therefore try to work harder to ensure his team gets better and score plenty goals in their coming matches, congratulations to my team Manchester United for the outstanding performance.

Manchester have changed their playing style and because of that they are leading to this result otherwise you can see that effort in the previous season.  Yes, in this season too, we will see in their hard work that they have not seen anything new.  Yes, I recently watched his match against Wolves and his hard work is evident from there.  2 goals were scored by their player and this won them the match.  And on the other side there was 1 goal.  Lemina was the only 1 goal scorer from Nookie Wolves if they tried to score strongly a second time they could have drawn the match but they also failed and would lose the match.  Yes definitely compete but with good speed and strong hard work which will surely go to higher position.

Yes, friend, it's useless if, for example, Chelsea brings in Osimhen, while the midfield, defense and wings Chelsea are still bad. Because if it's like that, an attacker like Osimhen will certainly have difficulty scoring goals. Because without the support and unity of all the players who fill all the lines, of course any striker will have difficulty. So Chelsea currently has to improve the entire line first before bringing in a new striker. Maybe rotating players is the first action that could be a solution for Chelsea at this time and secondly changing strategy. Because in my personal opinion, if for example the players Chelsea currently have are placed in the right positions and accompanied by the right strategy, the results will most likely be better than now. Because I still remember, at the end of the previous season Chelsea's performance had improved quite significantly. However, because Chelsea changed their old coach and replaced him with Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's performance was poor again. So with this, it can give us a fairly clear picture. That if Chelsea players are placed in the right position and use the right strategy, the results will definitely be very good. Therefore, Enzo Maresca as Chelsea coach must know this, if he wants to improve Chelsea's performance without having to buy a new striker.

Inter Milan looked quite determined not to allow Manchester city win them for the second time in the champions league after suffering defeat in Manchester city's hand when they met in the final. The defensive approach that inter Milan adopted was the best option they could have done. If they had come out to play the ball with Manchester city, they would have lost the game. I love what the coach did and it worked very well for them. Inter Milan and Manchester city will be looking up to their next opponents in their domestic league as they will want to put away the draw and focus on the next game. Manchester city face Arsenal in the league and it is not a small game for the reigning premier league champions. The earlier they forget about the champions league result and focus on Arsenal the better for them. They have to be sound psychologically if they want to get a win this coming weekend against Arsenal.

It must be admitted that Manchester City played inconsistently in the match and I also saw Haaland not getting many opportunities to break into Milan's goal.
This is like a repeat match of the Champions League final where Manchester City managed to beat Milan.
But Milan learned a lot from those mistakes so they managed to hold Manchester City to a draw at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City dominated the match but there were not many opportunities that could be utilized by the front players.
The midfield was less than optimal where they did not have many opportunities to produce measured passes for the attackers.
Pep Guardiola must evaluate these weaknesses because a draw is not a satisfactory result.

I still can’t believe Osimhen couldn’t find a permanent transfer to a top European club. All I can think is that he has really high wage demands or his agent is an asshole or something. He is too good to be in the Turkish league.

It is a win for Galatasaray though as they get a great player without paying a high transfer fee.

Chelsea were interested in Osimhen only because they had the opportunity to get rid of Lukaku, who Maresca thought was not right for them, but as we see in Napoli he scores in every game, so he is still a very high level forward. As for Osimhen, he will most likely try his best in Galatasaray, but this loan showed that he is not a sought after forward and maybe even after a successful season in Galatasaray he will also remain at the same level when no one will be interested in him for such a high price.

Obviously I'm not getting overexcited because it’s Barnsley. But they deserved a lot of appreciation for this. They have struggled against weak teams like this in recent years. So, it's nice to score 7 goals even against a second-tier team.

Also, it's ETH's biggest win. It's their fifth 7-goal win since Blackburn Rovers, over a decade ago.

I don’t have any doubts about Osimhen performance in the Turkish league, he is playing for one of the best team in that league so things will be much easier for him and also if you watch the game he played for them his impact was very impressive even as he was unable to score he made an assist and almost score a goal for them in his debut. I think we are going to see an impressive performance from him during his loan spell because he will want to impress other teams so they can come back for him and probably sign him on a permanent transfer.

None of Palmer, Jackson, Sancho and Nkunku are natural strikers so you don’t expect them to act as a striker, they might try their best but wont be as effective as a natural striker that’s why Chelsea were keen on landing Osimhen.

Well, this is a stats below to show that Victor Oshime has been better than Nicolas Jackson even with lesser games/ minutes played. Do you sti doubt that who Chelsea needs is a clinical finisher like Victor Oshime? Create 10 chances and he'll score 8, create 5 and he's most likely to score 3 or 4 goals. You can doubts no issues, that's on you, but we know what passion, dedication and energy into clubs he has played. There's nothing wrong with his move to Galatasaray, blames are on his agent for not securing a deal for him. Won't be the first time when European clubs try to do African players this dirty. A look back will educate you. ( History )


Jadon Sancho, Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkuku, and Cole Palmer are not proven strikers nor center forwards. Don't get it twisted.

I previously thought that the match against Intermilan would be a match that resulted in the first 3 points for Manchester City in the UCL if you look at their head-to-head meetings so far, but it turns out that Intermilan came with a which very qualified readiness to at least be able to get 1 point at the Etihad Stadium, throughout the match, Manchester City continued to be able to dominate but their attack often had to run aground in a solid Intermilan defense,  In addition to having a solid defense, of course Yann Sommer deserves to be named the best player in the match who managed to save his goal from conceding, his brilliant performance was able Manchester City attacker frustrate and lose sharpness in scoring, One of the fantastic saves by showing composure and experience of a goalkeeper, is when Yann Sommer was able to catch a close-range header from gundogan,and that is save made by him did not only make gundogan frustrated but Guardiola also did not seem to believe the gundogan header failed to turn into a goal.

I think Intermilan managed to break Manchester City's sharpness by turning off Haaland every move in the match and Francesco Acerbi was able to make Haaland helpless throughout the match, So this can be an example and reference for the English league team to be able to stop Manchester City, so far I has noticed that turning off Haaland movement actually made Manchester City lose sharpness like Acerbi (Intermilan) once did,  Saliba (Arsenal) and also Rudiger (Madrid) previously.
