Arsenal have been having a tough time in the Premier League, but they played really well against Inter last night. I know they lost the game, but Arsenal deserved to win, they were just unlucky. If they keep playing like this, they will have a winning streak.

Arsenal have be struggling since Bournemouth defeat them. but they perform well in the Champions League. However, Inter Milan play at home and have more fans will motivate the players to perform well. Arteta may need to change his strategy as some of his players are still recovering from injuries and Havertz get yesterday against inter Milan but not that serious. Additionally, Chelsea is in better shape this season and they will face each other in the league. And I believe Chelsea will try to win, or the game could result in a draw. Because I don't believe Arteta can win Chelsea this season in the league. Arsenal will advance to the next round of the ucl, but I don't think they can pickup form after this round because they usually struggle every season they don't have luck in many season. Arteta has not get a better trophies for arsenal and they need to make a change after this season end and he didn't win any title for the club.

In my opinion Arsenal still has a big chance in UCL they have only experienced 1 defeat from 4 matches, yesterday's defeat was against a big Serie A team and as an away team it is very natural to have difficulty winning the match or at least bringing home 1 point besides their game yesterday was also not bad being 1 goal behind they tried to rise, we see Inter was only able to match Arsenal's game in the first half entering the second half Inter only focused on maintaining the advantage and it must be admitted their defense is very solid. I have often said that Arsenal does not have a number 9 player who is hungry for goals and lacks mentality, that's all they lack at the moment.

Yes, on condition that Arsenal must sweep the rest of their matches with a win. If so, they have the potential to qualify for the next round. I haven't reviewed the other teams, but if you look at Arsenal, they have only lost once, drawn one of their four matches in this competition. They still have a chance to qualify for the next round, especially since their next opponent is not a very strong team. However, Sporting should not be underestimated because they were able to defeat City. Talking about the Arsenal vs Inter match, to be honest, I didn't watch this match because I watched the Barca match. However, considering the results of this match and the goals scored by Inter, Arsenal's current situation is indeed not in its usual performance. I often say that Odegaard's absence has a big impact on the Gunners' performance. The problem is, there are no Arsenal players who can replace his role. We can see in several Arsenal matches when Odegaard was absent, Arsenal had quite a hard time scoring goals, especially when they played against teams that used a defensive system. Arteta should know the shortcomings of his team's squad, and he must find a way to deal with it. Next, Arsenal will visit Sporting's headquarters and they must get full points.

Did you just say Arsenal still has a chance to win the Champions League this season? Have you observed Arsenal's performance in both the Champions League and Premier League competitions? They are both finding it difficult to secure points in these two competitions they participate in, so I don’t see any chance that Arsenal gets in this competition. However you said they got defeated by Inter Milan is not a big deal. I think you’re wrong because for Inter Milan to defeat Arsenal shows that Arsenal are in very bad form this season. If Arsenal are in good form, how would Inter beat Arsenal? Yes, even I agree that Arsenal went to their home, but still, the result is very bad for Arsenal.

Although Arsenal lost to Inter Milan, Arteta squad actually collected more points than Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, two teams that are far more favored to win the title almost every season. Moreover, Arsenal also has the same number of points as Manchester City, their strongest rival in the Premier League and also favored to win the Champions League. This is not to underestimate anyone, nor to defend Arsenal, but it is an honest assessment. Looking at the overall situation, not only Arsenal, but even the favored teams have struggled to create consistency this season. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Arsenal still have a chance, but at the same time, their performance is not better than last season.

Barcelona really is in their best form so far. Their goal productivity is really increasing where in the last 7 matches Barcelona has scored 29 goals. Barcelona scored an average of 4 goals in each match in their last 7 matches in both competitions, that is truly an extraordinary record for them this season.

Things look easy for Barcelona this season if this kind of performance can be maintained. It is difficult for any team to stop Barcelona who tend to succeed in correcting many mistakes in defense and attack, all thanks to Hansi Flick. Recently Barcelona won big over their opponents Crvena Zvezda (Red Star) in the Champions League and their performance was very impressive, really something that might be said to have exceeded many people's expectations this season about them.

In my opinion, it seems that the PSG management is not very concerned about the Champions League. We just have to see that they did not rush to buy very famous players with the aim of winning the European Champions League. They lost Mbappe but still did not spend much money on buying players. This shows that they are now looking to make a profit and will focus on internal competitions in France. They are probably acting this way because they spent a lot of money on Neymar, Messi and Mbappe and did not win the European Champions League. So it makes sense that now they are not spending a lot of money on signing good players and are focusing more on Ligue 1.

It's not like they are not interested, there were too many going on between Mbape and PSG and the club didn't pay attention to any transfer, it's like having your investment taking away, new one wouldn't be your priority and they had some good ones already, they thought that will be okay to use this is what they used last season to finish at the first place, that's enough reason to use this current one to get what they aim this season.

However, there is a strange thing that is happening in the Champions League this season. I'm not sure if it's because of the this new table FIFA set for all the team. The top teams are not doing well, look at where Bayern and Real Madrid are staying, couldn't even stay above the place in the table. It's better PSG should be above the relegation so that even if they don't make it to top 8, they can be able to play off to qualify for knockout

Yes, Arsenal's results in the Champions League are not too bad. From the four matches played, I’d say they have a good chance of qualifying for the next round. However, to be honest, Arsenal is not performing as many fans expect. With the set of players they have, I didn't expect them to struggle in winning matches against the opponents they’ve played. Arsenal’s performances have declined, and it’s clear to anyone who watched their games last season, in both the Champions League and their domestic league, that they’re not currently doing a great job.

Currently, I don’t think Arsenal's problem is just a striker issue. The tactics Arsenal has been using recently are more focused on defense than on attacking, which is why they find it difficult to create good chances. Even if Arsenal gets a sharp striker, with their recent style of play, that striker may not score many goals because their attacks lack power. Even their midfield hasn’t been functioning well since Odegaard was out due to injury. Now that he’s back, we may see some changes.

PSG may not have brought in any famous players so far this season, but at least they have spent €169.92 million to fulfill the coach's needs for players. PSG have a big safe goal in the Champions League, but things are not going smoothly for them. In the end, all PSG's efforts will only fail even though they spent hundreds of millions to strengthen the team, but it never paid off.

I don't agree if you say that PSG is not focused on the Champions League and only focuses on the domestic league, in fact PSG places its main focus on the Champions League which so far has not even experienced how to lift the title. Luis Enrique was brought in to launch the team's plans to win the Champions League title, but the existing squad depth was basically never enough to expect something big in the Champions League.

It seems that the strongest club in Ligue 1 will have difficulty qualifying for the next stage in the UCL. Because currently PSG has even been shifted from the play-off zone. And PSG must succeed in getting full points in the next match if they want to return to the play-off zone. A team as big as PSG should not have difficulties like this. Because I see that in Ligue 1 PSG is not even defeated at the moment. But at UCL they seem to be different. It is as if the mentality of their players is not as strong as when playing in the domestic league. I think PSG was much better last season when they were still coached by Tuchel for the Champions League. But in Ligue 1 the current PSG coach is very good. It's just that the UCL doesn't seem so good.

PSG are always like this: dominating their domestic league Ligue 1, failing in Champions League. This season looks to be worse than previous seasons if they end the group phase too bad and won't have opportunity to play play-off matches. It will be a first season after many years, PSG have to end their journey in a Champions League season shortly after a group phase.

If they end their journey in Champions League in this season like this, it will be a very big shock. They no longer have Mbappe but even so, they have many good players and can at least go to a first knock out phase. Low quality matches in Ligue 1 affect PSG players when they play in Champions League.

In my opinion, it seems that the PSG management is not very concerned about the Champions League. We just have to see that they did not rush to buy very famous players with the aim of winning the European Champions League. They lost Mbappe but still did not spend much money on buying players.

Judging by Aston Villa's recent games, it seems that the team is in a bit of a crisis and it is especially evident from Unai Emery, who looks nervous and restless. Perhaps the players have stopped listening to Emery or are just on the decline of their physical abilities, because the last 3-4 matches Aston Villa does not look like a real team and if you compare how they played last season, it seems that they are two different teams. We should also mention Brugge, because they played well and could have scored more, but they managed to score only one goal.

Considering the financial capacity of PSG, which I think is higher than that of Atletico, Aston Villa and Brugge combined, the result for PSG is very bad and in the end they risk not getting out of the group at all, because PSG could win only the very first match against Girona.

This season it seems most of the elite clubs in Europe are finding it difficult to survive in the champions league, it is not just about PSG alone but most of the big sides like Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid and perhaps Manchester city who made it to semis last season.

I don't know if it is as a result of the change of settings of the champions league but it's obvious that some of the big sides are struggling and may not make it to the next round of the competition and PSG happen to be one of the club that are in this category so far. Coach Luis Enrique whom we all thought was going to transform the team and make the big difference hasn't been able to achieve much and may soon be asked to leave if he fails to qualify for the next round.

Arsenal may have dominated the Premier League last season even though they were eventually overtaken by Man City. But this season they will definitely need to work hard to compete. It is not impossible, they still have a chance, but it all depends on how they deal with their inconsistencies. Including one of the ways, you mentioned regarding bringing new players to Arteta's squad. Their performance in the Champions League, 4 games with 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss is not bad. They are now in 12th place, maybe they are not safe but they still have a chance to qualify. If in the remaining games, they can perform better, they can shift some positions above them. Let's see how Munich, Milan, PSG, and Madrid are now even below Arsenal.

With the new format it is difficult to understand how it will work, earlier it was assumed that it will be an easier format for strong teams, because having more games they will have more opportunities to take a higher place in the table, but now we see that this is not the case, there are a lot of unexpected results, as you mentioned a lot of famous teams at the bottom of the table, PSG is in 25th place, Leipzig still has 0 points, so the new format may not be so good for strong teams.

The new UCL format encourage teams to play lot of matches and had been affecting strong teams due to playing their respective league matches which are physical in leagues like EPL, meanwhile Arsenal had been average in UCL this season thus they would surely scale through the knockout stages same with Man City despite some setback in some of their matches, there is the chances of Arsenal moving up from their 12th position after possibly winning their remaining matches, while PSG had a dismal performance so far the team is in a tight position.

Whereas, secondly, I must confess Barcelona is actually playing an excellent game this night, as they are currently taking the lead with 4 goals to 1 against FK Crvena Zvezda, of which I'm not surprised, because they have actually been in good form lately, and with the way it stands now, there is likelihood of Barcelona scoring at least 5 goals in this game.

Barcelona are currently leading 5 goals to 2, the team are really doing and I have to applaud Jules Koundé for already assisting 3 of the 5 goals scored, good and easy game as expected from them against Crvena Zvezda. Though still need to commend Raphinha for his good form and performance in the game, bagging a goal and an assist already.

Also Bayern Munich is currently leading against Benifica with 1 goal to nil, scored by Jamal Musiala and assisted by Harry Kane in the 76 minutes of the game, I think this is a game we where expecting Bayern Munich to leading with a higher margin.

Yes, that's true, and that's football betting for you, since matches which you expected to see more goals, don't be surprised to see lesser, just as in the case of Bayern Munich against Benifica, of which base on the previous performance of last 3 matches, we could noticed Bayern have always won with at least 4 goals in each matches, which is why many might have bet on Over3.5, only to be disappointed with yesterday's poor goal performance. And likewise Barcelona, whose outcome I wasn't surprised, since base on the outcome of it's past 5 previous matches, it's game has always ended with at least 4goals per each game. Which I'm sure it's next match to be played on 10th November against Real Sociedad is likely to also end with Over3.5 total goal score.

More should make the big teams indeed more advantageous. but it will still depend on the draw results in the first 8 matches. besides, because the team's performance may be unstable or they are competing with other teams that are not so favored, they currently have strong motivation. so it is not surprising when we see the team that initially dominated the Domestic League finally had to struggle when competing in the Champions League. such as PSG or Leipzig.
If we look at how Brest I think is quite good in the first 4 Champions League matches. although maybe the next opponent will be enough to make them wary. the points difference is not much different. a lot can change in the next few matches.

Brest is currently performing close to the best. The French team is seen as the favorite by most teams, but they are in 4th place in the Champions League with ten points from four matches. Monaco is in third place and the real surprise here is Paris Saint-Germain, the dominant team in the French league, in 25th place. I think no one could have predicted before the matches that Paris Saint-Germain would be the team that could be in the lower ranks of the French league.

Arsenal is already broken, they have suffered too many defeats in the Champions League and Premier League.
They are also losing the matches they played well in, and the success they want is getting far away from them.
After Inter Milan scored, they completely closed down and played defensively, Arsenal could not open up the defense. They usually have difficulty against such teams. Inter did a good job in defense.

Yes, this is a standard problem for teams that rely on ball control to open up the defense of an opponent who is not trying to take the ball away at all but is only focused on defense. Overall, Arsenal's situation in the Champions League is not that bad - they are confidently in the top 24 and close to the top 8, but I agree about the Premier League, they suffered critical losses there.

I personally see it as a reasonable result because after all, basically Arsenal are not a team that has many trophies so it is natural for Arsenal to get defeated. After all, the defeat suffered by Arsenal was also not a defeat with a landslide score because after all, Arsenal only lost 1-0 against Inter, and only lost 1-0 also against Newcastle in the Premier League even though Arsenal previously lost also by Bournemouth with a score of 2-0. But still, for the results that Arsenal have in the Champions League so far are still better than Real Madrid as the team with the most Champions League trophies. Thus, I think Arsenal are not entirelybad because Arsenal still have a chance to advance to the knockout phase later, and that's not bad at all as a team that is not a trophy-winning candidate.

I have the same thought. Mbappe did make a big contribution when he was still playing at PSG, but that doesn't mean PSG is nothing without Mbappe because PSG still has many other good players. If that is used as an excuse for their defeat, it means their coach is simply incompetent because he failed to provide a solution to the loss of a player who was considered the lifeblood of the team.

They look strong in the domestic league but not in the Champions League, and with what they have been through, their chances seem to be tough because PSG still have a match where their opponents will be Bayern Munich and Man City.

And if I may ask which chance are you talking about that they have in the UCL did what arsenal in previous games even in the premier league they are finding it very hard to keep up in all the races both in the Champions League and in the premier league so there is a lot of people that, and even with the record of defeating one and winning 4 does not change the fact that arsenal will still lose the title maybe in arsenal dreams, because and they will be playing against Chelsea and when they win they we are going to know if they have a shot in winning the champions league as you said, and I don't know why you are complementing the performance of arsenal when we already know what arsenal is playing it is not something that can add anything to them, and even inter defeated arsenal shows the worst performance this season, and I will say that this is arsenals worst season, and you look like you are an arsenal fan.

I think last night's matches were more enjoyable. The matches I watched tonight were not exciting.

Barcelona won 5-2. I didn't watch this match, maybe it was an enjoyable match.

Feyenoord lost 3-1, a very bad result for Feyenoord, they lost 3 points at home. Salzburg got their first win.

Inter beat Arsenal 1-0 with a penalty goal from Hakan Çalhanoğlu.

As for Arsenal, I knew things will not be easy for them but did not really expect a defeat. I think it's time for Arterta to change playing pattern because many clubs have studied the way they play and they hardly score now. Perhaps, they should go back to old Arsenal one touch fast game football. Their pattern last two season was much better than present pattern. His experiment aren't working anymore.

Arterta is a good coach and his pattern is working for him, is just that you shouldn't expect to win all the time or the players should be in their peak form all the time. Inter has a good defense, and if not for that penalty, the match would have ended in a draw. I was expecting Inter to score more goals but they couldn't, because Arsenal didn't allow them. Arsenal is passing through hard times currently, and they will definitely overcome it soon. If you look at Arsenal in the past two seasons, there is always a period that they will face difficulties, I think this is it.

@ Sim_ card, how long will the Arsenal coach keep starting well with his players and end up losing against uncontrollably and you are saying his pattern is working for him, I mean you are seeing how the team is becoming weak and he's still using the same pattern to play that means he has no plan B for the team because from the performance of Arsenal you could easily see a team that has began to struggle in every match.

Arsenal has lost 3 matches straight and against Inter Milan last night in the Champions League they controlled more of the ball, created good scoring opportunities but no one to convert the chances to goals, this is where I think he should adapt a plan B so that the hard times will not last goe so long.

With the new format it is difficult to understand how it will work, earlier it was assumed that it will be an easier format for strong teams, because having more games they will have more opportunities to take a higher place in the table, but now we see that this is not the case, there are a lot of unexpected results, as you mentioned a lot of famous teams at the bottom of the table, PSG is in 25th place, Leipzig still has 0 points, so the new format may not be so good for strong teams.

As far as I know UEFA created this new format with the aim that the team that qualifies is the team with the most points. UCL with the old format made the top 2 teams in each group that will qualify for the next round. This is a big challenge for weak teams because they have to compete with big teams in the group. And there are many situations where for example the first rank of group A qualifies with 6 points and in group B a team fails to qualify for the next round because it is ranked fourth in the group even though they both have 6 points with the winner of Group A. I don't know if other people know what I mean but in essence this new format makes only the team with the highest points will qualify for the next round. So all contestants in UCL whether they are big teams or mediocre teams have the same chance to qualify for the next round.
