Let love lead

the interim results of the first half of how many Premier League matches have taken place.

The Chelsea vs Brighton match surprised me. Both teams played very openly, Palmer scored 4 goals in the first half. We were 1 goal behind early on, but Chelsea responded very well.

In the Arsenal vs Leicester match, as predicted, Arsenal will dominate the match and they are indeed more favored. I think on paper they can win the match and the 3 important points they get will continue the competition with Man City who in the previous match had to be satisfied with a draw.
Chelsea is really playing a more strategic and intelligent football recently. It all boils down to the manager's ability to improve the creativity and quick response of his team.

Today is for Cole Palmer, the match is his own. Four precise finishes in the first half is not a joke, the team played with much coordination in their attacking and they've been rewarded handsomely. The match ball is surely his if Chelsea wins the match.

Chelsea playing pattern is really improving everyday and I'm glad they're coming back to what we used to know. Arsenal injury blows it's affecting them seriously. As at now Leicester city has come in level terms with them, neutralizing their earlier two goals advantage. Arterta needs to do more than the regular now. Manchester city is not also left out in the bad performance, getting a draw today might see Liverpool to the top of the table when they win.

Tough fixture for Erik Ten Hag and his team tomorrow. The question on every fan and pundit’s mind this weekend remains can Manchester United stand Tottenham? Will they be able to get a point from this fixture? We saw We saw Brighton beat Manchester United. The same Brighton is getting trashed by Chelsea. Personally, I have huge doubt Manchester United will be able to win Spurs, however I think a draw is a realistic result knowing how Manchester United manage to play better against big teams in the league. A safe bet would be both teams to score.

Newcastle was doing pretty good in the first 5 rounds, but I still expected Man City to get their 3 points. Oh well, you can't win all of them.
Meanwhile, Leicester just scored a goal against Arsenal, reducing the Gunners' lead to 2-1. They will have to do much more than what they did in the 1st half to equalise. They only made 2 shots on goal and their possession is only 24%, they should press much harder than that.
Leicester surprised Arsenal's defense at the start of the second half. They took the lead first with 1 goal they scored. With Arsenal's extraordinary game, Leicester had difficulty developing the game. They only relied on counterattacks even though they managed to create several opportunities. I was very impressed with Saka's game, his movement was very fast as well as his ball control. He has not scored a goal in this match, but his role is extraordinary for every attack scheme developed by Arsenal players. On Leicester's side, the player who is struggling hard at the moment is  Hermansen, the goalkeeper who managed to make several saves.

Are you watching the Chelsea v Brighton match? I hope you did so far and if not, I would recommend it now.  Smiley  Because there is everything in it. It is so much fun and Chelsea lead by 4-2.

Palmer is killing it! He scored 4 goals so far and it must be some kind of a record as he did it in the 1st half.  Grin  Palmer is really not from our world. Chelsea had better hold onto him tightly. Because I have no doubt there would be powerful teams going after him next summer. I can't imagine how sad Guardiola would be while watching his enormous effort at Chelsea now. I think Palmer did the right thing too otherwise we were never going to see this.

Already before the kickoff I no that it is going to be a though match for Man City because for quite a while now they are not too consistent in they playing after their draw against Inter Milan in the UEFA champions league they were not able to maintain there winning ways and just last weekend Arsenal was able to use 10 men and draw with them in their home ground, and today again Newcastle united was able to hold them 1-1 draw Full time.
They both played well in the match, and I will say Newcastle played a brilliant game against Manchester City, they were able to hold Manchester City to a draw. I knew the match wasn’t going to be so easy for Manchester City, but I was still expecting Manchester City to win the match, but they weren’t lucky in the match, and it ended in a draw. Absence of two players in the match really affected Manchester City. I heard Rodri will be out for the season. I just hope De Bruyne will be back soon so that he will be able to feed Haaland with passes. Haaland’s performance is always poor whenever De Bruyne is on injury.

if Liverpool won their game against wolves I think they are going be ahead of them in the league table which is a very big opportunity for them to take over premier league title this season.
The season is just starting, and even if Liverpool can win their game against Wolves, they will be ahead of Manchester City, but that doesn’t mean they will win the Premier League title, just six matches have been played, so even if a club is in first position currently doesn’t mean they will win the league title.

The both teams performed very well though Manchester City indeed is a  credible team much to always rely on but however it was not easy for them to completely ride over Newcastle at their home ground, the both teams had opportunities of scoring more than one goals but chances where missed Erling haaland did he could but all to no avail it is another draw game for Manchester City after there draw game with Arsenal last week, it is going to be a bad one on Manchester City if other games that are yet to Play like that of Liverpool goes against them

It seems I knew this Rodri's injury situation was going to be an issue for Manchester City so I played City to win or draw the game, something like this happened last season when Rodri was not available in their match and it affected them in several games, Manchester City really need to start looking for a good replacement for Rodri cause from his injury report he's going to be away for a very long time and if a replacement is not found by the January window then it could cost them the league, it's obvious that they can survive without Kelvin Debruyne since Gundogan and Bernardo are still available to give good passes to Haaland but anytime Rodri is not available they do suffer defensively and I believe that's why they couldn't win today's game cause there was no defensive midfielder to help them defend their goal. This is a chance for Liverpool and Arsenal to steal the top of the table from Manchester City and boost their chances of winning the league.

In today's match we know that Manchester is much stronger than Newcastle since the start of the season they have performed well in every match, and are an unbeaten team. We saw that Manchester City attacked strongly at the beginning of the game and managed to score a goal there successfully and now Manchester City is far ahead in the result of the game.
Manchester City scored a goal before half time and they went into the second half attacking strongly and stopping the opposition attack brilliantly. I think in today's match if the opposition can attack strongly then it is definitely possible to tie the game, I can already see Newcastle scoring a goal to tie the match. A great goal in the 58th minute of the game which the goalkeeper of Manchester City team could not properly save this attack and the game is level at the moment, however, Manchester City will now be more excited to score.

From previous records like two seasons past or so, Newcastle has been a little bit tough side for City. Even though they finally win the match, Newcastle always proves hemselves as a strong side against Pep's men. And following the absence of city's great midfielders, KDB & Rodri,, I knew it will be more difficult for city.
But you know what it is, a big team is a big team no matter what. They will always display there dominance & quest to keep growing there points and remain at the top. But at the end, it is a 1:1 draw for both sides. Newcastle's equalising gaol gave them more strength and boosted the attacking force, if not for there re-occuring mistakes in pass leading to attacks, they would have won the game because they followed city squarely and with the mindset of winning.  Fairly enough, I think the both sides deserved a share of the point as it finally ended

I was kind of surprised by the result of the match. I expected a win from Manchester City in the match, but unfortunately they couldn’t win, which is really a bad one for Manchester City. Seriously Manchester City injured players is really affecting the clubs performance. If Arsenal can win their match against Leicester, which is currently going on, and Liverpool can win their match against Wolves, then Manchester City might be dropping to third position. Manchester City is really having things to fix in the club, but the season is just starting, and it’s even getting interesting already.

Man City scored first but could not win away from home. On the day Erling Haaland was silent, Man City let the home team Newcastle hold them to a 1-1 draw at St James Park. The away trip to Newcastle is very difficult for Man City as this team will not have the services of both Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne. Indeed, the defending champions struggled in both attack and defense, although statistically they still had superior ball possession and more shots. Man City had dangerous chances from Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva, while Newcastle also created notable situations. However, both goalkeepers Nick Pope and Ederson played excellently, continuously making important saves.

With a draw, Man City remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season. However, the defending champions are at risk of losing the top spot. Liverpool and Aston Villa have a chance to take the top spot if they win in round 6.

Let's not forget to give Erik Ten Hag his flowers when he deserves them. He has been tactically wonderful at times, but it is visible that the squad lacked consistency majorly. I think as much as I can credit Ten Hag for his tactical brilliance, his man management is poor, he also is bad at signing players and getting them accustomed to his style. The way the club plays most of their games does reflect the plan that ETH is trying to instill. But there are visible shortcomings, from the players, from the ideas.


I don't know, go watch something, the team that hasn't done very well for more than 3 seasons, at first when CR7 was there all the blame went to him, now that he's gone and he has a good squad, why are the players good and they haven't done anything? I don't think it's the players, the players are very good, but they can't do anything outside of the strategy that he imposes, in case one of them does something brilliant he won't like it because it goes outside of his formation or strategy, so that's the bad thing, no matter how much ESPN says it, when a team loses a lot they take out the coach and almost all of the time he is the solution, in fact I am 100% sure that if they take out Ten Hag they will start to have better results.

I don't know why there are still people who think that ETH is worthy of Manchester United at the moment when they were in bad shape during he coaching, the management has spent a lot of money by bringing in a lot of good players at their previous club but their performance is down under Ten Hag at the moment, then you say he has brilliant strategies and tactics and blame the players for being inconsistent?
Come on friends, we should think realistically if if other coaches who are better at coaching Manchester United with the current squad then they could be currently at the top of the standings, even smart coaches without getting big financial support can be better at bringing their team,
Overall I think that ETH has given all he has to give to this club and is right now exhausted of ideas, so it's a shame if fans still expects to see an impressive improvement from Manchester united under ETH.

He has good players at his disposal this season which any good coach will just have to use to build on but from what we're seeing UTD don't even have a playing pattern, each game seems like an experiment of one tactics/pattern to another.

He ETH is certainly not influencing his team positively for us to see those expected changes. Maybe he really needs to sit back and let a capable hand take over UTD. Only with that we can know if the problem is from the players or coach.

I think the squad owned by Liverpool is below the quality of Manchester United today,  But in fact, Arne Slot is able to maximize the existing squad with his intelligence and game strategy.
Don't even think about it. In all round Liverpool has better quality players than Manchester united from the attacking forwards down to the defenders there's so much unequal quality, let not deviate on the issue on ground. No doubt Manchester united has good squad but just lacking an extraordinary manager with an adept approach to bring out the best in the players.

Newcastle is playing at home and Man City cannot underestimate them. Although they dominate and attack continuously, Newcastle is currently playing a fairly good defense. It's just that they are able or not to maintain stamina and concentration until the end of the match. However, Man City is a team with an aggressive attacking game. It will not be easy if they continue to receive pressure until the end of the match.

It seems that Eddie Howe studied the game when Man City was held to a draw by Inter in the Champions League and held to a draw by Arsenal. But now I don't care about the result of the match, because my bet for both teams to score has been won.

Half-time.



Manchester City leads the game 1-0 against Newcastle. They have more shots on goal than their opponent. But i noticed something here. A very unexpected thing happened with them. They are trying something out. Gundo is going far forward. Josko and Rico are also going forward deeply into their opponent's half. It seems they are trying to play even farther than usual.

The good thing is that Newcastle is stupid enough to put its focus on Haaland and Walker's side.

 I must admit Pep is a genius for changing his tactic after he missed lots of his important players. I never expected Pep to do this.

There is a short time left for the Newcastle - Manchester City game to begin. What do you think about it in terms of betting purposes?  Huh

Honestly I believe it is quite likely to end up with both teams to score @1.63. I expect Manchester City to win at the same time but I can't be as confident as I'm with the goal bet.  Tongue  Because you know Newcastle have a good history against Manchester City at home in the recent years. They can really fight back and get a draw at least.

Considering how Newcastle are only 3 points behind now, I think they can at least score one goal.

After Sir Alex Ferguson, I think in this gallery, Mourinho has been the coach that gave the best to Manchester United. He actually ended 2nd in the league and gave Manchester United the Europa league, but due to Manchester United fans and management were not used to Europa and they were still under the shadow of Alex Ferguson's standard, they didn't recognise Mourinho's efforts.

Next good manager was Ole, who tried his best to stabilise the team, but Manchester United big boys made Ronaldo signing which brought higher expectations and distracted the chemistry of the team. I won't give ETH any flowers here because he doesn't deserve them yet.
I like how you narrate this whole managerial thing happening at Old Trafford ,and which person deserves and doesn't deserve flowers 🌹, just hope you are a Utd fan Cool.

Talking of Mourinho , I think fans were unfair on him in a time of change...if he was given more time, team chemistry would have been developed and a better team would have been developed just like the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal did with their overhaul...if United is to improve another season or two should help build a better team plus manager needs to be maintained..just not sure if ETH is the guy.. perhaps Ruud Van Nistelrooy could be the successor after Ten Hag is sacked.
