Out of their last 10 Premier League games, Manchester United have only won 2. One with Everton and one with the last in the table - Sheffield.
The 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace was an absolute humiliation. We all knew they were lacking in the offence, but their defence was equally bad today. It could've been 5-0 if not for the off-the-post shot.
It's a shame, because they had a real chance of fighting for the 5th place, given Tottenham have lost a lot of points lately, but Man United have wasted that chance.
They can still get a spot in the Europa League next season if they somehow manage to defeat Man City in the FA Cup final, so not all is yet lost for them.
The game yesterday was really unbelievable because I didn't watch the game I was checking it with my phone when I saw 2 zero first half i was like okay the game is going to be a draw match because to enable them maintain their possion for Europe league next season, then in the second half just before 50 minutes I saw Manchester united score 1 goal before I no the goal was rule out by VAR and before 60 minutes Crystal palace have had another one goal that is 3 and I slept, is was when I check scores this morning I saw 4 Full time, it was really bad performance from Manchester united players yesterday.

Poor Manchester United... Crystal Palace destroyed them by 4-0. This is really a terrible season for the Red Devils. People tend to blame it on Erik ten Hag but I don't know. I don't think it is that simple to be honest. You can't expect him to do great things with the squad he has now. There have been big problems in defense this season. If they make the needed transfers this summer I think people will see that Erik ten Hag isn't the main problem. Smiley
Erik ten Hag is Manchester United major problem, if a team is not doing well the fault is always on the couch.
Assume Xabi Alonso was the club's coach and things may be differet. I am feeling confident that United will do far better than it by replace him with a new coach. Ten hag is a bad coach. There's no doubt that many fans wanted him to leave the club as soon as possible caused by he delivers nothing for manchester united. I believe that not only the defense, but also the midfielders, have been performing poorly in the game against palace, that's why united being destroyed by palace with a lot of goals.
Even the attacking line isn't as good as I expected. It is clear from the fact that Manchester United has a deficit of goals between GF and GA. It means that Manchester United has both a poor attacking and defensive line.
This is not the Manchester United I wanted to see. When considering the statistics recorded by Manchester United, the club ranks relatively low in all categories. That is the main issue if United wants to keep Ten Hag as an appointment for another season.
It is better for United to fire him as soon as possible. United is the stupidest team if the club continues to keep Ten Hag as an appointment.


Talking about squad football is not always about squad ok when you take a look at Bayern Leverkusen players they don't have much squad but they won the Bundesliga, so will see that doing well in football is not always about having squad sometimes good relationship with the players and the manager matters alot.
So true. Leverkusen was only doing minor chance when xabi was coming. In fact, that's how the coach has the biggest influence in the club.

What are you trying to say do you mean that the inconsistent of the Manchester united is their from there side is their coach fault. I didn't think is true because their coach is always try his possible best as much as he can to make that his teams doing well and bring out a good results in any of their opponents, but due their poorly performance they will not meetup. Expecially their defense honestly Manchester united are lack of  defense and their coach is contributed much effort to put them in right path, but they will never take corrections from their mistakes and that's why they remain without moving forward they should just go home and rest i think there time is over for this season.

Well, I would agree with you because it’s his job, that’s the one thing he is there to do, to decide how the game would go through the players he decides to feature on a game, the formation his using and when to make what substitution. It never really matters how the players play so long as his there to direct so, you could always blame it on him.

Manchester United played really badly today, this was a game they ought to have least got a point from but, not even a consolation goal and ended up conceiving 4 goals to Crystal Palace, that shouldn’t be, even in an away game, with Manchester United’s quality.

It was a really easy work for Liverpool to do. Tottenham are no longer like they were at the beginning of the season. Ange Postecoglou made a really good start first but their good progress didn't take too long.  Sad  I really want to see Tottenham more competitive. There are actually quite many talented players in the squad but they can't make use of it much.

Besides I wish Liverpool were able to perform like this on the previous weeks as well. In this way they would have maintained their chance for the Premier League title. They really let down people in a season which is Klopp's last one here at the same time. Let's see what is waiting for us if they sign Arne Slot.

You can assume or even conclude the result of a league based on the performance of a club, like the way Tottenham was playing at the beginning of the season I know some clubs would have concluded that Tottenham would win the Premier League some months ago, but now the table has turned and Tottenham can barely win a match, and Ange Postecoglou making a good start and finding it hard to maintain that good start is what surprises me the most. Tottenham is good and if they continue and become consistent, they might be able to win the Premier League in the future, The only thing Tottenham players need is to work harder. and Liverpool is currently struggling and there is no way they can meet up with Manchester City and Arsenal, Their fans really had serious hope that they would be able to win the premier league when Manchester City is there Maybe if they play well next season, then they can win.

Arsenal have to wait for Manchester City results because they have more matches remaining, winning all the remaining matches is an obligation for Arsenal who are trying to win the title race. I predict Arsenal's fate will be the same as last season, those who managed to maintain their performance from the start of the season will end up disappointed at the end of the season. Manchester City is in its best performance in the last six matches in the Premier League, Guardiola troops managed to maintain their winning streak, their goal tally is also very good, they managed to score 24 goals and only conceded 5 times.

Fulham, who will be Manchester City opponent, is not consistently maintaining their performance, they have only been able to achieve two draws and one defeat in their last three matches. While Tottenham fate was worse than Fulham, the team that was thought to be able to hinder Manchester City progress actually suffered four consecutive defeats in the EPL. West Ham's fate is also not very good, three defeats and one draw make it very easy for Manchester City to beat them if Haaland and his friends perform as consistently as they did when they beat Wolves.

Arsenal has estimated that the possibility of winning a trophy is very small because Manchester City, who are at their best level, will face opponents who have slumped in the last few matches. However anything can happen in the match, Arsenal must rely on themselves to achieve victory in the remaining two matches while waiting for Manchester City results.
I am sure that even they are aware of the fact that Manchester City will not lose any more games, so they are not caring about it anymore. At the very least, they are trying to win games because they want to make sure that they are at second place and not go down to third place beneath Liverpool, so Arsenal still needs to win, they can't just let go, but if Liverpool was like 10 points behind, then Arsenal would have lost a lot more because they don't care, they are aware of the fact that Manchester City will just win every game, and just not care about anything else.

Obviously this isn't that easy, but we should realize that we need to make sure that everything goes very well for Arsenal, even a second place is not a bad deal.

Tottenham experienced four consecutive defeats in the last five matches. I don't think Tottenham will be able to overtake Aston Villa to get a UCL ticket next season, but I have to admit that Tottenham's recent matches have been quite tough against top teams whose performance is stronger than themselves, maybe in In the next match, Tottenham could win and end their bad results.
Aston Villa will play Liverpool and Crystal Palace in their remaining matches. I'm not sure if Aston Villa can beat Liverpool. But I'm sure they can beat Crystal Palace. And with that one win they have secured fourth place even though Tottenham wiped out the rest of the match with a win. But even if Aston Villa loses to both teams, Tottenham's chances are still very small because they have to play City. This is a very difficult match. City are very motivated to win the match because they are competing with Arsenal. I can say Tottenham will get 5 defeats in a row.

It's hard to understand why Tottenham have become so bad now, they even lost to Newcastle and Chelsea with a big goals margin. it sounds strange to remember that they were the league leader at a certain time. At that game, Tottenham made Liverpool played so good when actually Liverpool is having struggle in the last few games.

It seems Ange Postecoglou needs a better squad to able to maintain their style of football. It's clear to see that when their important players are having performance, the whole team look poor. This could be avoided if the players have competition in the squad to fight for their place in the starting lineup. Anyway, Tottenham is still in the right track of building a strong team, if they keep in positive progression, they will be a competitive team in the future.

Tottenham game against Liverpool yesterday really showed a decline in Tottenham current performance, Tottenham looks very Helpless when now they should be able to compete for a place in the Champions League zone next season, after a big defeat to Newcastle, Tottenham seemed to struggle to rise from their bad trend and even faced Chelsea and also Liverpool which is currently also in poor form precisely Tottenham Losing very easily, in the game against Liverpool it was clear that Tottenham lost on all their fronts and I think Tottenham were lucky enough to only concede 4 goals in that game after many chances were created by Liverpool players in scoring.

Liverpool current revival is of course very late because indeed they can no longer compete in the race for the English league title, for now Liverpool no longer have a target for them to achieve after in all existing competitions they have been eliminated while for next season Champions League tickets of course they have got it at this time,  Liverpool and Tottenham have a lot in common this season, after a convincing start to the season, but now have experienced inconsistent performances going into crucial matches at the end of the season.

It seems that way. The blues didn't just win their last two matches, they won with a convincing scoreline. This season Chelsea has been struggling defensively and even if they get to win a match, they would still conceive. But today's game was different, they hammered West Ham United and also kept a clean sheet. If they can keep pushing on like this, who knows, they may over take Manchester United and get a Europa league ticket.
After Continuing to appear disappointing, Chelsea finally managed to keep a clean sheet in the match against Westham, this victory means a lot for Chelsea to be able to compete in the race for a place in the European League next season, indeed, at this time to move  to a higher ranking, of course It Is very difficult for chelsea to remember the matches they played there are only two matches left, with the victory over Westham, Chelsea can finally be above Mnchester United meanwhile, the competition between Manchester United and Chelsea to get a European League ticket will of course continue until the end of the season because the two of them currently have a small difference In points, if Manchester United can win today match against Crystal Palace then they will move back up to 7th place and leave Chelsea in 8th place with a difference of 3 points.



The performance from Chelsea has suddenly improved quite a lot. And of course, we have to give them credit for that. But I wonder how long they will actually be able to continue performing successfully. A team that has been inconsistent throughout the whole season is really not expected to consistent at the end of the season.

I will say that I was surprised to see the win of Chelsea against Tottenham. I thought Tottenham was going to be very determined to perform well at this stage of the season. I think I have to give credit to Chelsea for these wins towards the end of the season. But I hope that Chelsea authority is not going to keep the current coach that they have just watching the performances in these final matches. Chelsea's win against West Ham was just incredible.
Chelsea's performance in their recent English Premier League matches have significantly improved of which many people now believes that a top four finish would've been absolutely possible for Chelsea if they had been as consistent and impressive as they've been in their last five league games. Yesterday against West Ham, Chelsea produced a great performance to win the game with a thumping 5:0 scoreline against the Hammers. Mauricio Pochentino looks like he's finally found the best approach that'll bring out the best from his boys and I think he'll be able to keep up with the current performance till the end of the current season.
Chelsea are trying to finish the season in a position that'll guarantee them European football next season of which the UEFA Europa League competition is their top target at the moment but even if they end up playing in the UEFA Conference League competition next season, it'll also be an improvement from what they achieved as a club last season.

I think Chelsea have really improved after their 2-2 draw against Aston villa on last week Sunday and last week Thursday they won Tottenham Hotspur with 2 goals and today again them still won West ham with 5 goals and cole palmer only score 1 goal with two matches to go, I think The highest goal scorer is going to be Haaland because they still have 3 matches at hand.

It seems that way. The blues didn't just win their last two matches, they won with a convincing scoreline. This season Chelsea has been struggling defensively and even if they get to win a match, they would still conceive. But today's game was different, they hammered West Ham United and also kept a clean sheet.

Even though currently Chelsea is starting to recover and can continue to maintain their victory, they are still In a difficult condition after losing many points at the beginning and middle of this season, I think if Chelsea were able to continue to maintain their victory in the last few matches, of course Currently we can see that they can return to the top level, but so far we can see that their performance has not been good so that when they managed to score a goal in a match they did not maintain their lead until the end of the match.

It looks like there isn't much hope left for Manchester City to lose.
So true. Seeing how totenham performed against liverpool made me think city win the competition.

I just came here to say this, yeah. Tottenham were horrible against Liverpool. 4-2 might look like a close result to people but it shouldn't be misleading. Liverpool were very comfortable with bringing it to 4-0.

Tottenham just can't defend their opponents. Especially in big matches they are much worse. It shouldn't be much difficult for Manchester City to beat them either. Tottenham have just given up on their Champions League chase.  Sad

The other matches remaining for Manchester City are against Fulham and West Ham. None of them can stay strong honestly. Come on Arsenal, you shouldn't have lost to Aston Villa home.  Sad

It has been what could be described as a one sided first half in the game between Chelsea vs Westham United,  as Chelsea played looking like a team, enjoying themselves on the field scoring so easily, goals we hadn't expected of them in this first 45 minutes.
It's a really good performance so far showing a bit of little improvement in the team's form based on their two previous games drawing Aston villa, winning Tottenham and currently leading by 3 goals to nil against Westham in the just concluded first half, a game they have gotten all the advantage to win without doubt.
This is Chelsea's biggest win with Pochettino, I don't think anyone would have guessed that Chelsea could win so convincingly like this against West Ham even though West Ham is actually just an average team that can sometimes perform very well but also vice versa.
However, Chelsea's victory looks ordinary because West Ham have suffered several heavy defeats this season, from Arsenal 0-6 and the most surprising was losing to Fulham 0-5, so it's not entirely because Chelsea played very well but it also helped because West Ham was very weak. In fact, they are the team in the top ten with the most goals conceded.
Is Chelsea experiencing progress? I don't know for sure, but they have the opportunity to play in one of the European competitions next season if they continue to get three points in the remaining games this season.
Not actually the biggest win, Chelsea played Everton 6 goals to nail in the Premier League race same Everton the team occupying the 3rd position lost the match by 2 goals. So in a way, I think (still on doubt) that Chelsea are trying on improving but it is a major case if they would remain consistent in their performance. The 3 teams left for Chelsea are not a threat so I expect them to keep on the winning streaks, who knows they might occupy the 6th position before the season ends.
Obim34 you got that correct, and that win from what I could remember was around month April. I am optimistic that they will continue with this force of performance to maintain their winning streaks in the remaining 3 games, just that they decided to come alive just when the season is getting to a wrapped up, something a mutual fan described as a fake out improvement. So what I want to see Chelsea do is to start the next season in a consistent improving performance such that they will be among the competitive teams within the top 6th position's on the EPL table next season and not to get back to fluctuating around their 10th/11th comfort zone position as it were throughout most part of this very season.

Liverpool created a 2 goal lead in the first half and ended with 2:0 and in the second half Liverpool scored 2 goals so Liverpool were ahead 4:0 until the 70th minute the opponent had not been able to score at all, but this dampened Tottenham's mentality they also did counter-attacked in the remaining time and was able to score 2 goals in just 5 minutes but still the 2 goals scored by Tottenham didn't mean anything because Liverpool had built a 4 goal lead which was difficult to catch.

Tottenham experienced four consecutive defeats in the last five matches. I don't think Tottenham will be able to overtake Aston Villa to get a UCL ticket next season, but I have to admit that Tottenham's recent matches have been quite tough against top teams whose performance is stronger than themselves, maybe in In the next match, Tottenham could win and end their bad results.
