Pep Guardiola thinks maybe Manchester City still can’t compete with Europe’s biggest clubs

Manchester City lost 2-1 against Manchester United and are now 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola doubts his team’s capability to compete against the big European clubs.

The defending two-time Premier League champions were beaten 2-1 by Solskjaer’s Manchester United. With this defeat, Manchester City are now 14 points behind current league leaders Liverpool.

Despite dominating English football for the past two seasons and boasting an exceptional, expensive squad, Guardiola has suggested his side might be unable to go toe-to-toe with Europe’s biggest clubs.

Manchester City’s defence have been vulnerable this season. Guardiola’s decision of not recruiting another defender in place of Vincent Kompany is proving fatal. Laporte has also been injured for last few months, adding more worry to City’s defence.

The pace of Manchester United trio – Rashford, Martial and James torn apart City’s defence in the first 30 minutes. This current team is far away from the team of last two seasons who won two consecutive Premier League titles.

Guardiola told reporters: “This is the level we are facing, against Liverpool, [Manchester] United, Barcelona, [Real] Madrid and Juventus. They are the teams we have to face, and the reality is maybe we’re not able to compete with them.”

“Okay, so we have to improve and accept it and move forward. I could come here and complain about many things; I have reasons to complain. Maybe we need as a club to accept the reality we have right now and improve.”

He further added: “The reality is we’re 14 points behind because of the mistakes, the quality of the opponents and especially for the things we cannot control. That’s the reality. But we have to continue.
We are at the beginning of December. We have other competitions to play, other games to fight and improve on that. Maybe it will help us for the future of the club; maybe we need that for the future to be better.”

England pose as a serious title contender for the EURO 2020

0

England may finally bring the EURO 2020 trophy home.

During the golden generation of Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Wayne Rooney, the England team were always one of the favourites going into any major international tournaments. But after their retirement, the Three Lions lost their favourites tag. They used to be considered as underdogs.

But Gareth Southgate has done a wonderful job. He has built a young and vibrant team surrounding Rashford, Sterling, Kane, Maguire and others. We saw in the last World Cup that England have in them what it takes to win big matches. And considering the domestic form of the players, England are one of the favourites for the Uefa Euro 2020.

Due to confident performance within the qualification stage for Euro 2020, the England team have quickly become one of the main favorites in continental competitions. 1xBet – online betting is a good opportunity to predict the success of the Gareth Southgateโ€™s team in a long run.

After having qualified for the semifinals of the World Cup 2018, the English managed to improve their game even more. More and more young players appear in the team of Three Lions. Among the recent debutants, Mount is especially worth mentioning, since he has already attracted attention by effective actions. The young midfielder also looks very well in Chelsea.

By choosing 1xBet – online betting you get an excellent opportunity to start receiving stable income just by putting your knowledge into practice. After confidently qualifying for Euro 2020, the English generated rather high expectations among their fans regarding their performance within the tournament.

We should mention that the semifinal matches and the decisive meeting of the continental forum will be held at Wembley stadium, which should become an additional motivation for Gareth Southgateโ€™s trainees to demonstrate their best game.

The trusted bookmaker offers its fans basketball betting online and predictions for dozens of other disciplines. It is a good opportunity to put your knowledge into practice and significantly increase the assets available.

The forthcoming tournament is quite a serious challenge for Southgateโ€™s young team. On the one hand, it has qualified for the 2018 World Cup semi-finals not long ago, but on the other, there are practically no veterans in the team, who are older than 30 and have impressive international experience.

If we are talking about the strong points of the team England, then we should mention:

  1. Cool selection of players for every position. The attacking line includes especially great players, such as Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Sancho and many others. The only exception is the goalkeeper position, but the English have not had great goalkeepers for 30 years.
  2. Perfect teamwork. It has especially improved during the qualification round for Euro 2020. Now the players make even fewer mistakes, which has a positive effect on the national teamโ€™s results.
  3. The leadersโ€™ individual strength who can always turn the episode in favor of the English.

AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT OpenCL Benchmarks leaked

0

In our previous article, we discussed the leaked specs of the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT which seems to launch as early as next week. Though we have some assumptions and leaked specs and now we have some leaked OpenCL benchmarks that give us an idea of the card’s real-world performance.

The RX 5500 XT has been benchmarked against the new GTX 1650 Super that poses the faster GDDR6 memory and is providing better performance in its price segment. The AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT will be a Navi 14 based GPU with 11 CUs and 1.72 GHz maximum frequency.

The AMD GPU is rumoured to be available in both options of 4GB GDDR6 VARM and 8GB memory options. Here we have a Geekbench 4 comparison of the RX 5500 XT with 8GB VRAM against the GTX 1650 Super with 4GB GDDR6 memory.

As we see in the OpenCL tests, the GTX 1650 Super has a small edge over the RX 55000 XTย in all of the tests in the benchmark. Though we cannot judge the gaming performance of the card on the basis of the productivity benchmarks which solely depends on the platform, API used and the architecture of the GPU.

In the Geekbench 5 test, we also see the GTX 1650 Super leading than the Navi GPU which is strongly due to NVIDIA’s superior CUDA platform and for the presence of more Compute Units. As we all know that the new Super GPU gives great 1080p gaming performance in modern titles and we expect the same with the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT as well.

The real-world gaming performance only can give the fair idea for gamers to which GPU to go for and what pricing would they get the GPUs.

Jamie Vardy becomes the first player to score in 8 consecutive Premier League matches since 2015

Jamie Vardy himself achieved this feat in 2015 and he has achieved this incredible feat this season again.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is at his peak form and it seems he is scoring goals for fun now. He became the first player to score in eight consecutive Premier League games since he previously achieved the feat himself in 2015.

Leicester City won the Premier League out of the blue during the 2015/16 season. He scored in 11 consecutive Premier League matches that season.

This 8 match scoring run started in the 2-1 win over Burnley on 19th October and was followed a week later with a hat-trick in the 9-0 routing at Southampton. Since then he has scored against Crystal Palace, Arsenal, Brighton, Everton and Watford before today’s strike against Aston Villa.

With his 20th minute strike at Villa Park, Vardy is now just three matches short of equalling his own Premier League record. If he manages to bag goals in the league matches against Norwich, Manchester City and league leaders Liverpool on Boxing Day, he will match his own tally of scoring in 11 successive Premier League matches.

jamie vardy

The football fans went crazy after his 8 match scoring streak. One said: “Jamie Vardy made a mess of that, didnโ€™t he. When itโ€™s going for you itโ€™s going for you I suppose. What a player.” Another wrote: “Everything about that goal was pure Jamie Vardy, the run in behind, the scrappy finish & then the celebration.” And another one wrote: “8th game in a row! Vardy can miss kick it and still score. The man’s ridiculous.”

Leicester City is closing back to within eight points of leaders Liverpool and are now posing as a serious title contender.

Jamie Vardy has been the English Premier League’s most prolific forward since Brendan Rodgers’ first game in charge of Leicester City on 3rd March. He scored 24 league goals in this time, seven more than any other Premier League player.

Manchester is Red, again!

Manchester United have beaten the reigning Premier League champions in their own backyard.

Manchester is red again after Manchester United gave their neighbours Manchester City a surprise at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday night.

This is City’s fourth league defeat of the season and it leaves them 14 points behind runaway league leaders Liverpool. While United are a further eight points behind City despite securing successive wins against Tottenham and City.

Rashford put United ahead with a well-taken penalty before Martial fired past Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson through his near post. It was expected that Ederson would be able to save that, but Martial’s power and precision were good enough to take the ball into the net before Ederson could react.

Manchester United manager Solskjaer said after the match: “I was so happy with the way we started the game. The way we created big chances, we looked like we could score every time we had the ball. And the intent was there to go forward, every time we had the ball. It’s not about keeping it or slowing it down; we go for the kill and should have been three or four-nil up.”

“But then again, you’re playing against the best team in the world, so you have to defend well. I think the way we had to prepare for this game because you follow this team for three years, and they’re so hard to defend against because they’re so good, I’m very pleased with how they dealt with everything, our boys.”

He further praised Fred: “[He was] Arguably man of the match today. He took the ball, he’s playing against Kevin De Bruyne, probably the best player in the league and I thought he was excellent.
It’s great to see it; the boy deserves it. But when you get a run and keep the team together, Scott [McTominay] and Fred have made a great partnership.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said at his post-match news conference: “I like how my team played. We conceded a little bit more space – not more than usual, but more than last year against United. We knew about the pace they have, with James, Martial and Rashford, but sometimes it is not possible to control it.”

“In general, we did what we like. We arrived in the final third many, many, many, many times. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish a little bit more, but I like to watch my team. I know nobody agrees but I like it.”

“Sometimes it happens. Sometimes you don’t win and the others are better and you lose. Normal is not winning the league always, sometimes you lose. It is important not to give up and try to do what we do as a team. All the games we play a season we play the game I want my team to play.
After that, the counter-attacks, the final third, when we struggle in some departments okay, it’s part of the process. Maybe next season we will be better.”

fred

But the beautiful game was overshadowed by those second-half scenes when United had won a corner. Fred went to take the corner and he was hit by several items that were thrown on to the pitch. Along with this he and Jesse Lingard also appeared to be targeted by abuse.

Manchester City and Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that they are working together to investigate the incident, while Solskjaer called for a life ban from football grounds for any individual found guilty of such an offence.

Manchester United captain Ashley Young posted on Twitter: “Should never have to post anything like this because I’d have thought it’s obvious but racism has no place in football or society.
Kudos to Man City for the swift statement, I hope the individual is properly dealt with.”

AMD Ryzen 3 4200G Renoir APU spotted on SiSoft Sandra OpenCL listing

1

Finally, we’ve got some pretty interesting leaks of the upcoming AMD “Renoir” APUs, which are going to launched sometime in 2020. These APUs will be based on AMD’s ground-breaking Zen 2 architecture and the graphics will be based on their revolutionary Navi architecture.

Thanks to the famous tipsterย TUM_APISAK who has spotted a SiSoft Sandra OpenCL listing for the supposed Ryzen 3 4200G APU. So, we can get a rough idea about the new revolutionary APUs which are said to be much more powerful and efficient than before because of the 7nm architecture.

AMD Ryzen 3 4200G Renoir spotted on SiSoft Sandra OpenCL listing

According to the SiSoft Sandra OpenCL listing, the Ryzen 3 4200G’s iGPU will feature 512 shader cores and operate at higher clock speeds of 1750 MHz. Now, that much higher clock speed has only been seen in high-end GPU of AMD i.e AMD Radeon VII and this might also confirm that the iGPU will be based on Navi architecture.

The previous Ryzen 5 3400G performs quite well with its Vega 11 iGPU and has a 1400 MHz which is seemingly underwhelming when compared to discrete GPUs. But running at such clock speeds on an iGPU that too with its seemingly old Vega architecture seems impressive, on the other hand, with Navi 1700 MHz seems possible comfortably.

AMD Ryzen Pro Mobile Processors are To Bring Evolution

If we compare the Ryzen 3 4200G spec with the OEM exclusive RX 5500 discrete Navi 14 GPU, which has the same 128-bit bus and nearly three times as many shaders as the Renoir APU. The inclusion of Zen 2 and Navi might make these APUs costly but will relatively be more value for money for buyers in the long run.

Another notable thing is that we are talking about the Ryzen 3 and we have no idea about Ryzen 5 4400G which will also be expectedly powerful both on CPU and GPU front. Navi might truly help gamers to game with their GPU, allocating enough VRAM from their RAM to game comfortably at 1080p for most games, which was quite struggling with Vega.

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min scored an incredible solo goal

Son Heung-min scored an insane goal, probably the goal of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min made an incredible solo run and then finally kept his composure and scored the goal against Burnley on Saturday. This goal is a strong contender for the goal of the season.

Son picked up the ball near his own penalty box and went on an insane solo run which saw him going past almost the entire Burnley team and then calmly finishing past Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope.

Son told Sky Sports after the match: “When I got the ball, I tried to pass it to Dele but I couldn’t find him, so I had to keep going. I am happy to score this goal.
It was brilliant today. We created chances and were clinical. We deserved the three points. It was an unbelievable performance.”

A post shared by Tottenham Hotspur (@spursofficial) on

The Tottenham winger is having a wonderful season. Along with that insane goal, he set up Harry Kane’s early opener. He has now been directly involved in 15 goals in 15 appearances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Harry Kane said: “Sonny stole the show today. It was an unbelievable goal and a great counter-attack. All he wants to do is work hard and play for the team. He has great quality and works hard for the team. All round, it was a top performance.”

“Whenever you play bad in a big game like the Manchester United one, you can’t wait for the next game and for the whistle to start. You saw that today: we pressed quickly and took our chance.”

son mourinho

Tottenham Hotspur’s new manager Jose Mourinho said at his post-match news conference: “It is a tremendous goal. Even before this goal, my son calls him ‘Sonaldo’ after Ronaldo Luis Nazario. The only thing that comes to my mind is the goal when I had the honour of being next to Sir Bobby Robson when Ronaldo [then Barcelona star] scored a wonderful goal [against Compostela in 1996].”

“From the outside, I had a feeling. I remember speaking to Sir Alex [Ferguson] about Park Ji-sung. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. These players are very coachable. The kid is fantastic. I’m very happy, so happy.”

AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB/ 8GB GDDR6 Navi 14 GPU to launch next week

AMD’s RX 5500 has already caught the attention of budget gamers and the performance of it makes it a lucrative option for gamers, but sadly the GPU will only be reserved for OEMs. So, AMD is rumoured to launch the RX 5500 XT for its budget gamers bade on 7nm Navi.

Apart from its interesting RX 5700 series AMD has nothing to offer in the budget segment except its old Polaris GPUs which really is value for money in 2019. But, people like new GPUs with improved technologies and better power efficiency.

So, naturally, gamers are now heading towards NVIDIA’s new 1650 Super and 1660 Super GPUs which are the value-for-money GPUs that performs incredibly well. The inclusion of GDDR6 memory at this budget makes the key difference, helping gamers to get smooth 1080p gaming performance in almost all modern titles.

AMD launches Radeon RX 5500 Series GPUs for desktop & laptops

After beating Intel in the CPU market with its 7nm products, AMD is not stopping here, it seems they are planning to launch new GPUs to the market soon this month. As the RX 5500 won’t be available for common gamers for their custom PC, AMD is all set to launch the new RX 5500 XT based on its new Navi 14 architecture.

According to Videocardz, the Radeon RX 5500 XT apparently is said to operate on a 128-bit memory bandwidth like the regular RX 5500 and will be available in two variants: 4GB and 8GB GDDR6 VRAM.

AMD launches Radeon RX 5500 Series GPUs for desktop & laptops

Even though Compute Units (CU) count remains unclear, theย website speculatesย that this 7 nm GPU will have a 53.9 GPixel/s pixel fillrate and 148.3 GTexel/s texture fillrate. The card seems to be capable of up to 4.8 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, although we are unsure of the accuracy of the information.

The RX 5500 non-XT might end up as an OEM-exclusive, on the other hand, the RX 5500 XT should only be available through AMD board partners. No pricing details have been leaked, but Videocardz says that this new mid-range card will launch be unveiled by the latest of December 15.
