Predictions revisited + La Liga detailed predictions

 Changes will be made to La Liga and EPL only. 

So, let's start with EPL and then dive deep into La Liga. 

Nothing to change in the teams, I think Man City still have much more horsepower than anybody else. 

Top Scorer- Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

Top Assist- Kevin De Bryune

La Liga- 

Still, no change, but.... I am more doubtful of Barcelona with Messi, than without him. The sheer amount of expectations, pressure and hinderance that man can cause is evident from the seasons gone by. I do not know what Koeman is thinking, but he better not consider Messi as a different player than rest (which he is). 

Top Scorer- Lionel Messi

Top Assist- Lionel Messi

Table- 

1. FC Barcelona

2. Real Madrid

3. Atletico Madrid

4. Sevilla

5. Villareal

6. Real Sociedad  [ IAMBACKINGAWAY]

7. Valencia

8. Real Betis

9. Granada

10.Getafe

11. Osasuna

12. Valladolid

13. Athletic Club

14. Alaves

15. Cadiz

16. Celta Vigo

17. Eibar

18. Levante

19. Huesca

20. Elche

Many interesting choices there and  I am unable to explain them to myself, let alone you. So let's follow the table and see what it brings us !

Unexpected result from matchday 1

Levante (3)-(1) Valencia

Barca: A season to forget- Left Wing/ Midfielder

THE PLAYERS- I am not considering Coutinho and Griezmann Left Wingers. 1. Ansu Fati- An  astoundingly ridiculous revelation this season, Ansu Fati will surely be a major part any success we are * hoping * for. His speed and aggressiveness is always channeled and timed well. He can create something out of very little. This is the quality we were craving for, and we have got it in the form of Ansu.  2. Pedri- I know, he is not a first team member just yet, but that is not to say he won't recieve first time action. I think when Ansu needs rest, Pedri should get some starts against less physical sides like Villarreal. Conclusion- After two seasons after Neymar left, we finally have two very good wingers on both flanks. This is definitely good ! 

Barca: A season to forget- What needs to change ?

What needs to change, in order to win the champions league this August ? So, I can'y really talk about mentality because I am not aware of the happenings in the dressing room, so, let's talk about tactics. Formations and player roles.  TYPE 1- 4-1-2-1-2 narrow Goalkeeper- Ter Stegen two center backs- Pique and Lenglet/ Pique and Araujo Right back- Semedo Left back- Jordi Alba Holding Midfielder- Sergio Busquets Two Central Midfielders- Riqui Puig and Vidal/De Jong /Rakitic Attacking Midfielder- Messi Two strikers- Suarez and Griezmann/ Fati ( He can definitely play there)               This formation was used in the last five games of league and it was evident that it worked fine only when the opposition was not ultra defensive. Napoli, sadly, is ultra defensive. In this formation, the defence has usual work. In the midfield, Busquets has to stay deep and think attacking. He needs to put ball forward after intercepting passes or gettiing ball...

Barca-1 : RMA -3

 Of Course it's the match review.  Look, we played well. If that calms you down, it should not. We need to win to show for it. No matter how many chances are created, until they are put away. Real Madrid were, by far the second best side today. But, they won. Maybe that's because of the VAR decision, but we need to understand that we should have been at least 3-1 up at that point. There's no excuse for that kind of finishing, in an El Clasico, the PREMIER FOOTBALLING SHOWCASE. At least it used to be. Now, there were some things more alarming, and some good ones, but as has been the case this season, finishing remains to be sharp. So, what are the even more negative things ? 1. Busquets. Yeah. I said it before, I will say it again, De Jong and Busquets can't play together. They do not complement each other. For details, click  here  . 2. The day Koeman was appointed, I had one, singular doubt about him. his passiveness. That is what we saw today. Yes, starting Pedri a...
