It’s no longer news that Jurgen will be leaving this Liverpool team at the end of this season which will make it 9 years of him being in charge of this team. Replacing a coach like Jurgen who’s very key is always quite difficult to an extent especially as this coach is one that has changed the face of the club and has led the club to some key victories and also brought some trophies home.
At the moment they’re the League Cup winners and could probably be crowned the EPL winners and or the UEL winners as they still remain very top contenders of these competitions. Replacing him, so many names have been thought of and many thought we’ll be seeing a return of Bayern Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso but it’s all looking different especially as Alonso has committed to the German Club for some more time.
This is a relief to the Leverkusen fans but a big blow to the Liverpool fans as mow the club will now be thrown into major dilemma of getting a perfect replace for Jurgen who’s leaving at the end of the season. Different managers have been brought to the picture of this race and when you check of all, I think Diego Simeone might not be able to do the job at this club.
A coach like Unai or Nagelsmaan will be able to still maintain Jurgen’s tempo and build their team on that foundation and I think they’ll be a perfect replacement for the German expert. Liverpool is a big club and sure any coach will love to coach them but a better option will be any of these two and that could be what’s best for the club.
There are talks about Klopp leaving for Barcelona. I do not know if there is any truth in that or not, but his announcement did came after Xavi declared he won't stay. However, Klopp also said that he is retiring, and even if he comes back, that won't be next season. Xabi was a good idea for Liverpool but he said he will stay at Leverkusen so that won't happen. I am guessing that the best thing they can do right now would be going after whoever is available.At the moment they’re the League Cup winners and could probably be crowned the EPL winners and or the UEL winners as they still remain very top contenders of these competitions.

Nagelsmann didn't do that well with Bayern so he may not be the best idea, I think it has to be something that could turn a little different. I personally believe that we should probably see this situation changing a bit this summer, they really need a big name.
The problem with Manchester City is that they have actually kept a good control over the match. But they have not been able to do well in the final third of the pitch. Manchester City had most of the possession of the ball. And whenever they went to the final third, it looked like they were forcing everything. Maybe they should have taken it a little more relaxed, maybe one more pass and that could have done the trick. But I absolutely agree that the attackers of Manchester City were kept under control pretty well by the defenders of Arsenal.
By the way, this is actually a very good result for Liverpool. Now Liverpool has point advantage over both of them. Liverpool is currently two points ahead of Arsenal and three points ahead of Manchester City.

Yep and Mancity will be in big trouble if they fail to win against Aston this week/Wednesday.
Because Liverpool will only face Sheffield and Arsenal vs Luton, it is almost certain that both teams will get full points.
And next week, Arsenal and Mancity fans will definitely hope Manutd can beat or at least hold Liverpool to a draw at Old Trafford.

What was that? Manchester City's performance was just terrible. They weren't playing like a team that want to be champions. Arteta once again didn't lose to them this season. He collected 4 points from his teacher Guardiola in 2 games. This is really good statistics against the most powerful team of the league on paper you know. 
Just check out these statistics. Only 1 shot on target for Manchester City... Haaland was even lost in the game, did you see him?
This happens in nearly all of big games. Haaland just can't play effectively.
I must admit Gabriel - Saliba duo did a mega job at defending Manchester City attackers - especially Haaland.

There are many possible scenarios to happen in this season. I think that if it's quite clear that as long as liverpool will able to get perfect result and PL trophy will be on its hand.
Liverpool's strongest opponents will be Manchester United and West Ham, but Liverpool can beat them, and I agree that if Liverpool does not fail in the end of the championship, they will become champions, especially on the way there are average teams to beat which Liverpool knows how to beat.
The competition is just getting even tougher and liverpool is now leading EPL with two points gap toward its competitors. According to the upcoming fixtures above if manchester city will get the easiest fixtures compared to the another club. That being said that city has a chance to win all of remaining games soon. Meanwhile, arsenal and liverpool must have faced a lot of strong opponents. Which team did you guys able to get PL trophy according to the upcoming fixtures above? I think that city's chance is still quite big to defend its PL title consider it will have so many easy fixtures.

I also have the same thought. Compared to Liverpool and Arsenal, Man City is likely to encounter obstacles when playing against Tottenham and Aston Villa. Meanwhile, Liverpool and Arsenal, apart from having to play against Tottenham and Aston Villa, they also have to play against Man United. Man United does have inconsistent performance, but there are times when they play against big teams, they can play quite well.There are many possible scenarios to happen in this season.

The remaining 10 matches in this season are not easy, I am sure that the three teams competing for the title this season will not be able to maintain consistency or win in all the remaining matches this season.
Tottenham and Aston Villa are also competing for 4th place and I think both of these teams will give their best even though they will be playing against top teams who are competing for the title, this will make it difficult for teams who have great motivation to achieve victory.
After the really boring game between Manchester City and Arsenal this draw has helped Liverpool a lot. They have become the new leader in the standings.
I wasn't waiting for a this poor game though. I should really appreciate Arteta's game plan against Manchester City. He really knows how to block Manchester City attacks. Once again he didn't give much chance to Guardiola's team. Haaland was like a ghost on the pitch. He still found a couple of serious goal chances though and wasted them all. But I'm not blaming this result on only him of course. They were bad as a team.

They were bad as a team.The match was indeed quite boring because both teams could not give high intensity in that the match, after waiting long enough since the international break was played, I think we will see an exciting match like a bigmatch in that match, but actually throughout the match we only see a monotonous match without any aggressiveness in terms of attack as has been the hallmark of both teams in playing in others match, So even so we can see how Klopp and Liverpool fans are quite happy with the final result of the Manchester City vs Arsenal match yesterday.
Even though they had a difficult match when beating Brighton, but at least Liverpool can pay off with 3 points that make them quite strong while at the top of the Premier League, I think with a few more games left then we will see the competition will still be tight because indeed all three have a small difference in points like before, currently Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City will still have crucial matches that might change the course of the competition in the Premier League standing this season and so far we still cannot guess who will be the champion at the end of the season.

Biggest flex today was Liverpool winning, taking all 3 points and going on top of the table while City and Arsenal both lost 2 potential points. With only 9 matches left to be played, it means that every single game from now to the end of the season is crucial and a MUST WIN for all teams involved. This has to be one of the best title race in recent years with 3 teams fighting for it compared to the usual Liverpool vs City title rivalry we have had in recent years.
I am really sure one of the teams hopes they slip on the next match. If I look at Liverpool next match, they only face several club which maybe too difficult for them to get 3 points such as MU, Tottenham, and Aston villa, Maybe what made things difficult for them was the match against aston villa in villa park. but all the match they will face next, I'm sure Liverpool will get the trophy, because will be Klopp's most beautiful farewell gift before he left, and this is not possible they will get a double winner as English champion s league champion and the Eufa League.Arsenal must have passed all of the matches carefully. A blunder for arsenal will be result in the club will be missing PL trophy once again and im sure that if many fans will be also mocking this club again like last season. Those fixtures are hard to pass by arsenal and i strongly belive arsenal can do that. Im not really sure to pick arsenal in the upcoming games.
Liverpool, arsenal and manchester city are same strong here. It's kinda weird to see that city was not performing like what it used to be. As long as liverpool's players will always play carefully without even get injury and the chance is big to keep the first place till the end of season.
Salah has always become a key owned by liverpool to win the game. His experience was carrying the club to perform better. Im feeling so damn good with the performance showed by liverpool till this time. Multiple trophies are still possible till now.

The game ended 0-0 draw with fierce competitive actions from both sides. Pep Guardiola was shocked because he couldn't control the entire field, his men was unstoppable but they have to settle for lesser results. Merely watching the game, Arsenal are incapable of handling three winning points at Etihad stadium. They failed in all round but their performance was outstanding, they had entertaining actions but denied Manchester City victory. Mikel Arteta was ready and he knows what to expects from his former boss. I wasn't waiting for a this poor game though. I should really appreciate Arteta's game plan against Manchester City.

Saw how Haaland failed to turn the best chance into a goal and that was very disappointing, and also what Arsenal displayed was quite surprising, it didn't look like they were under pressure because as the away team but managed to play very well to guard Haaland, there wasn't much that could be done by the Manchester City striker, Silva, KDB and Foden failed to provide a good pass for Haaland because this striker always relies on good passing, and it could be said that Jeremy Doku's came in second half did not change City's game at all.
Arsenal actually played their card very well because playing attacking football with Manchester city would lead to a defeat, hence they park their bus at home. If you observe, you will notice how Haaland was well taken care of and Man City looked totally disorganized. How Haaland still remains the league top scorer while he ghosted in most important matches and also stayed for months without playing a game still baffling me. By the way, it wasn't a good game from Arsenal too. Settling for a draw game as title contender is really embarrassing.. There was no chance created at all. You're not ready to be a contender when you are scared to play open football with your fellow contenders. City didn't had a bad game as we all saying but Arsenal defend tactics make it look like city play a bad game.

I must admit Gabriel - Saliba duo did a mega job at defending Manchester City attackers - especially Haaland.

Even though it was only a draw, for Arsenal this was of course a big win because many predicted they would lose at the Etihad Stadium, and for the first time this season Manchester City failed to score a goal at home and it all happened because Arsenal's defenders were quite tight in guarding their defensive area so they cannot be penetrated by City players.
I personally don't see Simeone as the right choice, indeed I admit that Simeone is a pretty good coach with Atletico Madrid but do you like the brutal style of play that Atletico Madrid has often demonstrated so far?
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with having a hard game and relying on physicality in football, but leaning towards it actually harms the team when they are hit by card penalties in the game, to be honest, bringing Simeone to Liverpool will only damage Liverpool's style of play so far and besides that Simeone is indeed able to bring Atletico to compete in the top four so far but not to win the league.
But fortunately we are not part of Liverpool's management which maybe our decision will actually make Liverpool ruined in the future
, but I think right now Liverpool are in the process of approaching with several coaches, so maybe in the near future we will hear who the prospective coach who will coach Liverpool, btw now it is reported that de Zerbi is still turning down a contract extension from Brighton on the grounds that he wants to see the vision of the Brighton project next season, Could this be a sign that De Zerbi will coach Liverpool next season?At the moment they’re the League Cup winners and could probably be crowned the EPL winners and or the UEL winners as they still remain very top contenders of these competitions. Replacing him, so many names have been thought of and many thought we’ll be seeing a return of Bayern Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso but it’s all looking different especially as Alonso has committed to the German Club for some more time.
This is a relief to the Leverkusen fans but a big blow to the Liverpool fans as mow the club will now be thrown into major dilemma of getting a perfect replace for Jurgen who’s leaving at the end of the season. Different managers have been brought to the picture of this race and when you check of all, I think Diego Simeone might not be able to do the job at this club.
A coach like Unai or Nagelsmaan will be able to still maintain Jurgen’s tempo and build their team on that foundation and I think they’ll be a perfect replacement for the German expert. Liverpool is a big club and sure any coach will love to coach them but a better option will be any of these two and that could be what’s best for the club.

This has to be one of the best title race in recent years with 3 teams fighting for it compared to the usual Liverpool vs City title rivalry we have had in recent years.
Liverpool's luck this week is like Arsenal who hoped for luck last week when City and Liverpool were playing, when the three teams competed with only one point difference at that time there was a crucial competition for the three teams not to lose even 1 point in the match, because indeed when 9 more matches are left it will be very decisive for the team that deserves to win the Premier League this season, Many say that the Manchester City and Arsenal match is a title decider for one of the winning teams, but in fact both teams failed make the opportunity to stay above Liverpool this season.
At the moment I quite agree with you, when a team slips up in one game in the remaining games then we can say that they have gone off the winning path although not completely, but I think with the remaining games that are currently required for Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City can no longer be caught off guard and they must be able to use every game to get full points in order to keep alive their hopes of winning the Premier League this season.

Brighton has put up quite a tough fight, but Liverpool's quality is much better than Brighton's, so it is difficult for them to get points at Anfield stadium.Liverpool played very well, they only conceded in the early minutes of the match so Welbeck was able to score a goal in the 2nd minute.
A very important win for Liverpool to stay on the winning track this season.
Liverpool are now at the top of the standings and they will wait for the results of the Arsenal vs Manchester City match and if the result of the match is a draw or Arsenal loses then this week Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League standings.
The win was crucial for Liverpool, not only to maintain their winning momentum but also to reclaim the top spot in the standings. They now sit at the top of the Premier League table with draw became the outcome of the Arsenal vs Manchester City game. Consistency and maintaining pressure on their rivals will be key for Liverpool to navigate the remainder of the season. The three teams have to win every remaining game now. Every win is significant in the fiercely competitive Premier League race.
It's actually true that it was really a fascinating encounter between this two teams especially for the neutral fan, and it was actually the result Liverpool had hope for because they are now top of the table with 2 point difference away from arsenal and 3 point away from Manchester city, so at this particular stage of the league, I really do think they are in a very strong position to win it now, because their destiny is now in their hands, so if they can maintain a winning streak, by putting away any team that comes their way, then I believe that the likes of Manchester city and Arsenal would be powerless to stop them from matching to the title.
Another thing I also believe that should be put into consideration at this stage of the competition is the remaining fixture of this 3 teams, though the likes of Manchester city and Arsenal still have some tough matches to play, but I feels like the league has already been decided by the fixtures of past matches between this 3 teams, unless Liverpool just wanted to bottle it, and acted as arsenal did last year, because the title now, is theirs to lose.
