After a string of good performances, Mu fans are hoping they can qualify for the Champion League. But the unfortunate loss to Chelsea in the final minutes of the match brought them back to earth, showing them that they are still really not okay at all. Many people think that Mu not attending UCL next year may be better for them, because thinking beyond it can help them recognize the problem and focus on reform rather than still having illusions about their own strength.

Reforming the team is not an easy job, the first thing to do that is they must know where they are. Knowing their position will help them make appropriate decisions and choices, from who is suitable for the role of coach to which players are suitable. And most importantly, they must form a team with a common will, but this is currently not the case under Ten Hag's management.

Once there is a truly determined move in reform, Mu will not have to worry about its partners abandoning them. As long as they see the positives of stability enough for them to see signs of a comeback, they will still be with the team. So a season without participating UCL is not too serious.

Yes, in my opinion, Chelsea needs a better manager in terms of experience and tactics, while Pochettino seems to have difficulty providing a strategy that suits Chelsea's current style of play. Chelsea's performance is not very stable, sometimes they play well when facing other elite clubs but play badly when facing mediocre clubs or lower level clubs.  Chelsea's performance in the last 2 seasons can be said to be quite bad, they are only able to survive in the middle position without making good changes and improvements to be in the top ranks like other elite clubs. It seems that Chelsea really needs to make changes in all areas as well and in the manager section(imo)

I think Pochettino will not stay at Chelsea next season because this coach has not made any changes to Chelsea. Indeed, Chelsea's current problem is that he often changes coaches without giving him a chance, but management always takes quick action to save his club and Pochettino has been given the opportunity. for one season but if nothing changes, maybe the club will fire him. I hope Chelsea can soon find a suitable coach and can restore Chelsea's performance as a top club again and be in a pretty good ranking.

Well, it's a Shame that Liverpool have done Something like that Against MU  , this type of Game is what they have to take Advantage of so they can Take advantage, where they would have won they had a clear and very Good Advantage, with respect to City, which is the team that I see as much more dangerous, I would love for Liverpool to be the PL champions, the Arsenal with Arteta I see that they are not Very consistent, the team that I see that has Always been there is Liveprool and Obviously City , no It can be denied that Pep's City is a Team that has Everything to be the best, of course it is my perception, but this time I am leaning against Liverpool Because first Klopp leaves , Salah will surely leave, and it could mean that Luis Diaz will Leave Go Ahead too, so for me this Team as it is right now is a Dream , and it's a Shame that it won't be complete at the UCL.

How come Y'all are whining about a low-tier team like Chelsea when Liverpool, Arsenal and City are giving us all the entertainment and monies we need (if you usually place bets on the trio). I'm not concerned with Chelsea and don't even waste time watching their games or wasting money to place bets on them. The fact that Chelsea couldn't finish off the last placed team in the league with their £250m midfield is really concerning though.

But it's a constant reminder of the popular proverbs that all which glitters is not gold.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's old scary era is gone. The Blues are experiencing their worst periods in recent years, one after the other. They cannot take part in European tournaments either. This is turning them into an increasingly ordinary team. However, the president spent too much money for the team. I think the transfers were not right and the coaching staff was not qualified enough to meet Chelsea's needs.

Mauricio Pochettino is not capable of handling the top jobs this season, he belongs to mediocre coach category because he's yet to win any major title. Todd Boehly never asks questions when it involves signing players, he's always in a hurry to make sure everything runs smoothly for his team. Chelsea have declined in performance and they're now regarded and comparable to mediocre teams in the English Premier League, we're talking about teams like Sheffield United, Brentford and Everton. The Blues really need to made improvements because they're not competitive in matches this season.

Chelsea new owner bought too many overprice players who were not worth with their skills, and continued to repeat the same mistakes in the following season.
Changing managers every season will not solve the problem,, even the best managers in the Premier League now such as Guardiola and Kloop need more than a year to make their team solid and feared by opponents.
Chelsea must sell some of its players in the next transfer window and let Pochettino buy the players he needs.

I never expected a draw in the match, but we all know that Chelsea have been inconsistent this season, so I wasn’t really pained by their poor performance in the match. Whenever Chelsea plays against a big team and they play well, if their next match is against a weak team, then expect their performance to drop in the match, they will perform poorly in the match. We shouldn’t be confident that Chelsea will be winning their match when playing against weak teams, I don’t just know the problem Chelsea are having, they had opportunities to accumulate more points and move upward on the table, but they do miss use their opportunities.

I strongly agree with it. It reminds me of Pochettino, who has almost the same style as Ten Hag. I'm only seeing another Pochettino on Ten Hag since there are two things that give me the same impression as what Pochettino did.

1. Unnecessary subs
2. Defensive strategy after it leads game

These points are always used by Ten Hag and Pochettino. This is why I call United Chelsea's brother. The worst thing is that. those coaches never ever realize their mistakes,ue to repeat them. If i was united's official and i has already fired him since the early season.
It sucks to see how the gameplay ruinted by a wrong substitution by the coach.

This is not only a blunder by united. it has become united's habit. Chelsea and United have the same habits as they always change their strategy to be fully defensive once they lead he game instead of continuing to attack their opponent.

I don't know what is on Ten Hag's mind. I can't accept the truth if Ten Hag doesn't realize this. If I were Sir Jim, I would have already expelled him from the club then recruit a talented coach.

Well everyone is entitled to his own opinion and that's why I wouldn't fault you for saying that Manchester United should've won their game against Liverpool year. In the first half of that game, Liverpool controlled the game and would've put the contest to rest if they had converted their chances but that wasn't what we saw. Liverpool finished the first leg with just a one goal lead when they could've easily led with three or more goals. It was in the second half of the game that Manchester United started to do well with their performance which was rewarded with overturning the deficit but after Liverpool scored from the penalty spot to draw level, they still missed few chances that should've been converted. Liverpool knows that they're in serious battle with the other top two three teams in the league table so I expected them to be more clinical than they were yesterday.

Throughout the first half Manchester United was very difficult in dealing with attacks from Liverpool, and it didn't even take long for Diaz to be able to score in the game for Liverpool's victory until the end of the first half, I also think the same as you, because throughout the first half I saw if indeed Liverpool did not give room for Manchester United to be able to attack except for some attacks that were not dangerous,  And even in that match we can see if Manchester United are forced to continue to defend against Liverpool's dangerous attack, but luckily for Manchester United did not concede many goals in the first half.

I don't know what Ten Hag said to the Manchester United squad in the dressing room, but I think it was powerful enough to make Manchester United's game improve in the second half, relying on a quick counterattack attack Manchester United managed to make a comeback in the second half, but the penalty was finally able to keep Liverpool to make them able to end the game with a 2-2 draw,  Although it does not change their status and also their chances of winning the Premier League this season, but I think Klopp job will be even tougher because Arsenal and Manchester City will of course try hard to win every remaining game this season.

A mistake from bissaka has destroyed united's chance to gather three points from liverpool. Many people have been complaining about what's bissaka did by tackled liverpool's player at that game. Bissaka could use his body but he decided to tackle his opponent. I think it was not out of luck.
Bisaaka took wrong decision. As a professional defender and bisaaka should know if he was on the penalty box. Doing tackle will be higher chance to give its opponent penalty. He was not even thinking like that. it's made me upset to see him keep play.

The decision to put amrabat it to replace bruno is totally wrong decision by ten hag.
True and this has been criticized by many fans. Ten hag did many unnecessary subs which was only ruined the gameplay of manchester united. This is the same problem encountered by chelsea with its coach.
Im only wondering when ten hag will realize if he has made too many wrong subs. Even bruno was complaining to the ten hag.

If I thought, it would be Man United who would win, it's just that I forgot something. Ten Hag has a habit of playing defensive football when Man United has a goal lead and I think this is actually a blunder because Man United doesn't have a good defense and their mentality is easy to falter. So when Ten Hag signaled to his players to play defensively, it was actually the beginning of their nightmare. In their last 3 matches, I saw that Man United always failed to win because of that strategy.

Bissaka was a disaster in the second half and he has become the reason why untied lost three points. TBH, his tackle did not touch a Liverpool player but referee seen it as a direct foul to the player which was also making liverpool awarded a penalty by the referee. Bissaka sucks since it was making MU failed in getting three points against liverpool. Bissaka did something very bad in the previous match and ten hag needs to reevaluated this guy to be in the mains squad. I was almost seeing meguire to help liverpool scored the goal but onana was able catching the ball. This guy is obviously missing out on the opportunity to see his club earn three points against one of the strongest clubs in the EPL.
Salah once again helped Liverpool get out of a difficult situation when it was losing goal against manchester united, salah successfully executed the penalty and it's still a bad result for the reds. Arsenal will face difficult fixtures soon, and this could be a good opportunity for the city to outperform its competitors. I'm grateful to the United for their draw against Liverpool but it's still quite bad since mu was unable in making liverpool to lose three points. It contributed significantly to City's one-point gap to the Liverpool and Arsenal.
It gave City another chance to win the Premier League this season. The battle for winning mentality is approaching. We will see which team performs better in this match.

Yesterday I thought Liverpool would be able to win the match after successfully defending 1 goal in the first half. However, in the second half Liverpool repeatedly failed to build effective attacks to score goals. Luckily, Liverpool can still get 1 point with a penalty in last minute 2nd half, even though they failed to be in 1st position, Liverpool can still maintain the points with Arsenal to keep their chances of winning the EPL this season.

England premier league is on predict able just check out what Chelsea played with Sheff united yesterday after biting Manchester united on Thursday they could not win Sheff united. one thing I always notice in premier league is when a small club is playing with a Big club them always fine it difficult to win, Because looking at what Chelsea played with Manchester united on Thursday one could not even believe that Chelsea is going to play draw with Sheff united.

This sentence in bold is quite surprising whether you watched yesterday game or not? because what is clear in this case is that Liverpool is a consistent club and Man United is an inconsistent club. But that cannot be used as a benchmark because in this match Man United would have been entitled to 3 points because they were 2-1 up if only Wan-Bissaka had not committed a foul in the penalty box which resulted in the score being 2-2. Overall, Man United's match against Liverpool is not about consistency or not because Liverpool played against Man United several times and never got 3 points. Liverpool last scored 3-3 points when they beat 0-7 and that was 1 year ago.

For the second underlined sentence, it's best to look at the statistics and know that Liverpool excels in shooting, shooting on target, passing accuracy, ball control, and so on. All of this shows that Liverpool is not weak.

The game yesterday was really a though one for Manchester united, because if you watch the game very well yesterday you will see that Liverpool players miss use their opportunity that dey where suppose to use and score Manchester united in the first half, but one thing I notice in that game is England have already fest the match as a draw If not Liverpool would have won Man united in that game yesterday.

It all comes to the coach. Chelsea have a big goalkeeping problem. Their centre-backs make too many mistakes, their left-backs are terrible. Jackson is bad, he runs hard but has problems finishing. No matter how good the midfielders are, the team in general is a disgrace. I don't only attribute this lack of form to the players but also to Pochettino. Although he is the manager who hasn't been sacked so far, he doesn't have a game plan despite camping with the team. Chelsea need a manager who likes to play modern football, who can manage the youngsters well. Chelsea need a good goalkeeper, a striker and a stopper with leadership qualities considering that Silva will leave. Otherwise, things are not looking good for Chelsea.

 The EPL is suddenly coming to an end and you can imagine less that Arsenal won’t be able to perform this well by being ontop of the log with over 6 matches to go. Well Liverpool really gave up their lead yesterday in a disappointing draw to Man United and you can blame Liverpool but this.

 Well while blaming Liverpool you can’t fail to commend Arsenal’s great performance as they were able to maintain this good form up to this time and you must praise the attackers who’ve been able to score great number of goals to keep them on top with go difference. I think the team has learnt from their mistakes of last season though as you can see how they’ve improved their level of performance.

 ⁠Liverpool gave up this lead because in the matxh against Man United they were in very good possession of the game and had great number of chances but were bery wasteful in that game. I just hope Arsenal won’t take this same tone in their remaining 6 matches. In the last matches amongst the 3 contenders, Arsenal ahave major challenge as they still have about 3 top teams to play such as Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham. This Arsenal team will have to perform beyond the average to be able to get maximum 9 points from this fixture to be able to be crowned Champions because it’s not going to be an easy one in this final 6 matches.
