The result of the English Premier League game between Everton and Tottenham Hotspur today was surprising if you ask me because to many, they had already thought that the visitors were gonna easily win the game and take all three points home. Everton twice came from behind to draw level and that's the true mark of a team who's determined to make a difference. Richarlison have easily been Tottenham Hotspur's best player since Son Heung-Min left the club to go join his national team and participate in the ongoing Asian Cup. Tottenham Hotspur are doing their best to make sure they finish in the top four of the league table but I think it'll be very difficult for them since Aston Villa are also doing well this season.

Unbelievable with Everton success made come back tonight against Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspurs took the lead twice but Everton was able to equalize and achieve 1 point. Jarrad Branthwaite saved Everton from defeat after a goal in injury time made the score 2-2 and Tottenham Hotspur failed to win after winning twice through Richarlison's goals.

Well Poch is under pressure and I feel he should be used to this kind of pressure because he’s been in charge of a Premier League club in the past and this isn’t new to him. The only difference is that this team is trying to build from the scratch and the fans should try and be patient.

 But whilst they’re patient and trying to understand that doesn’t give him the room to make some wild and crazy changes especially with the costly mistake of a line up he did with liverpool. If it was under Roman’s Era, I don’t think Poch will probably still be in the club because he’s not looking like he can carry the club past 10th rather it’s even looking like they could finsih below 10th though. Well I think the new owner doesn’t understand much of football and that’s why he doesn’t know how to effect changes but rather wait till ge fans start kicking before he effects changes. If Poch isn’t productive then get him out of the club and get an experienced coach for these players.

Rapheal Varane, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan Bisakka are the possible names that'll be leaving even if I'm not happy Rapheal would be on that list. Tjeya need get a player like him and who's much younger, I'd say De Ligt for Bayern Munich simce he's no longer in a good mood to stay with em anymore.

A great and good player would not take time to settle back into a team. So much confidence from him when you watch him, good passer of the ball and good team player who's been pushing his teammates ahead.
They did do well, No?
Marcus Rashford should learn to pass the ball more for Rasmus Hojlund and Amad Diallo would be more effective on the right win than Antony amd Garnacho. Hopefully he gets a start against West Ham United.

The positive trend is set to continue for the attacking line, but unfortunately, the defensive line is not experiencing the same success. The defenders consistently perform poorly, and to make matters worse, Onana's performance was even worse than before. Im also questioning myself about what manchester united defenders are doing for 24/7. Do they train to imrpveo their performance or what?Im wondering it caused by manchester united defenders never had good performance and it can be counter easily how many times the defenders of united perform better. This sucks to see united conceded more than 50 goals till this time.

Im guessing that the easiest way to predict the result from united's match will be total over. The weak defensive line has been also making united to perform even worse than before. This is also pressuring onana which is a bad goal keeper to perform even worst. Onana doesn't have good defenders to help him like when he was in intermilan.
He needs to put more effort to block any ball by himself now. Poor onana and this guy is not having good performance in manchester united. My thoughts on this matter are that he should no longer be given an opportunity in the main squad, although it should be noted that Manchester United currently lacks a competent goalkeeper other than him.

Exactly, they should have at least taken a look back to what Erik Ten Hag did with Manchester United last season and check both his winning rate and also how he got to qualify them for the Champions League Competition and also win them a trophy. These Manchester United fans are too impatient as they forget good things does takes time.

They had a good midfied trio which was what lead to that thriving midfied against Wolverampton during the last game played. I believe they'll do better with how they fought until ninty minutes of the game. Westham United tommorow, it'll be one hard game. Hopefully they bury the game quickly they get a goal or two.

If you were not sure with what you bet then you can take less risky choice like double chance. The match between wolves against united was so hard to predict. I was seeing both of teams are equal at this time. Manchester united was only good on its defensive line but other lines are performing so poorly . United was almost losing if mainoo was not coming as savior for the club.
That's amazing to see that how mainoo has been successfully scoring at the late game through his solo. this is why he has been talked by so many united fans on X. He took the big risk by going to the penalty box alone but he made it.
The match has passed then forget it.

The match between totenham vs everton is still happening right now. Totenham has been scoring another goal through richarlison with his accurate shoot. Totenham is still leading the game right now with two goals against everton. Everton is still having chance to change the situation. The chance for this club to be relegated is very big right now.
Totenham looks very strong even though it must be playing away against everton. Totenham is still controlling the game, and it was also consistently attacking everton. The goal from richarlison was pretty good tough.

Everton is being threatened to be relegated if it will not be collecting more points. This is why everton must win the game against totenham but seeing the statistic makes me feel doubt of totenham will able to win the game against everton.
I think that draw may be possible to happen in this match.

Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur game has started and Tottenham Hotspur has scored the first goal at twenty something minutes to lead the game 0:1, which is a sign that they will still score more goals before the end of the first half and their players are well organized to disgrace Everton in their home today.

Can Everton score a single goal from this game because, Tottenham Hotspur player want to use this game as an example to other teams that they have fully recovered from their injuries to battle for the first or second position in the premier league which they are capable to use this game as an example to beat Everton 0:4.

While having a season with many ups and downs it is nice to see some improvement by Rashford and Hojlund lately. They both made important contributions to their team against Wolves. The games are still going on tough for the Red Devils of course. Because their defending is just horrible... 

When Martinez returned I hoped to see stronger defending. It didn't take Martinez a long time to start performing nicely after a lasting injury. But Varane is still really bad.

Would we see Varane being sent to another team at the end of the season you think?

Undoubtedly, Manchester United players have suffered series of injuries that's kept them sidelined for too long this season and that's what many people have been pointing out to as the cause of the club's poor performance this season.
However, I'm of the opinion that the club could've still achieved more they've achieved so far if the club manager Erik ten Hag had been better with his tactical approaches to games. For instance, Manchester United failed to progress from the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League competition because of the manager's poor tactical moves in the games they were leading in but still failed to win. They scored four four goals against Wolves in the midweek game they played but still conceded three on that game. That's not how a big team like Manchester United should be built defensively

Pochettino has been failed on chelsea. I think that it's useless to keep him much longer in the club while chelsea will able to get a new appoinetment to be a new coach for chelsea. Im concerning the performance from chelsea is not even having good progress. I was seeing chelsea is still running in the same place right now.
I prefer to see him to be sacked by chelsea caused by he was useless coach. It's really bad to keep him in the club much longer. I prefer to see him to be terminated as soon as possible. Chelsea will be impossible in entering the top 4 without get winning streak.
It's caused by the club have been performing so badly even since pochettino was coming to the club. I can't even tolerate pochettino even longer caused by he does zero impact to the club. The way he was coaching the club is also very confusing for me.

Yesterday in the Premier League match Wolves vs Man United, Man United team won by 4 goals in the match between the two teams. The performance of the Man United team players was very good. The Wolves team did not perform well before halftime. But after the halftime, the Wolves team scored 3 goals. Wolves  If the players of the team can perform well before the halftime, maybe the Wolves team would have won this match. I placed a bet in support of the Wolves team but I could not win the bet.

Yes, it's true that Manchester United did win by scoring 4 goals against Wolves, but don't forget that Manchester also conceded 3 goals, that's not something that needs to be overlooked, it should also be a concern that there is something not good about their goalkeeper, Onana, he can't be expected to be a goalkeeper at Manchester United and also Manchester United's lack of defense which means they conceded 3 goals, that's really not good even though the result is Manchester United winning.

Ten Hag must seriously think about adding new players in the summer, at least it is important to strengthen their back line, including the goalkeeper, because if their front line is good, it won't be good if in the end they concede easily too, I do admit that Manchester United It's slowly recovering a bit and is quite good now, but Ten Hag still can't rotate his players well, so there is a lack of unity on the field which makes the players play very well and are able to finish the match with encouraging results.

This is a problem that I saw so many times ago when Manchester United was seriously under performing. Many people saw it but they were unable to acknowledge that it was a cause of the poor performance of Manchester United. There is nothing much a coach can do when his first 11 is unavailable for almost more than half of a season, even when the team does not have a good depth.

In the Manchester United last match, we could see some kind of composure in the midfield because of the return of casemiro. Scoring much goals is not the problem, if the opposing will end up countering such goals by scoring theirs. If the defence is nice, even if the attack does not score much goals, the team will be fine.

Indeed, one of the causes of Manchester United's unstable performance this season is due to the large number of injured players, which has forced Erik Ten Hag to reshuffle the composition of players in the defense and midfield which ultimately damaged the team harmony that had been built. However, now several important players have started to return from injury and Manchester United's attack is starting to get stronger again, where when they beat Wolverhampton, Manchester United was able to score 4 goals. Therefore, if this positive trend can continue, then Manchester United will most likely finish in the top four of the EPL.

It's match week 23, and we are here again with some exciting fixtures for today.

Review
Since the English Premier League has become very tough and uncertain to make accurate predictions, I would prefer to make predictions base on the last performance of each teams.
Everton's match against Tottenham is definitely going to be an interesting match knowing how well Everton competes against big teams. But I feel Tottenham might be stealing all 3points considering the current fitness of the team.
With the shocking loss to Luton in just less than a week, de zerbi's side would be looking forward to achieving something from this, but that doesn't mean crystal palace should be underated either, so this might likely end in a draw.
Burnley seems to be a side struggling to attempt any form of impact in the league, which makes Fulham the rightful candidate.
Newcastle will be in action against Luton without Isak. We can't neglect the fact that Luton happens to be a side that knows how to bite bigger teams. Maybe Newcastle might just be winning this base on home advantage.
After lossing to Newcastle earlier this week, Aston villa might just bounce back with this game and get all important 3points.

Pochentino apart from forcing himself to manage his own club, is also actually under pressure because the Premier League is a much more difficult competition and will always be a challenge for him to develop. However, with Chelsea condition, which can be said to be building from scratch, don't expect too much for the first season with a transition and composition of players like this. The point is for Blues fans they have to be patient because the club in Boehly hands will find it difficult to develop, after all he doesn't understand football. It would be a different story if it were still held by Abramovich, under whose control Chelsea is very structured and can manage the club well, especially regarding player selection. Currently in 10th place, Chelsea can only finish at least 6th or 8th at the end of the season even if in the future they can show changes for the better but if on the contrary it continues to decline then it does not rule out the possibility of Chelsea finishing 13th or 15th in the standings.

Well Chelsea went to down times when Abrahamovic was forced to sell the London club due to ongoing Russian And Ukraine crisis. And now the decision by the UK board is now haunting the football club. As since Todd’s takeover the team haven’t had a good record of success, rather it’s been from one worry to another and we the fans wonder when things will get better. Great and Huge signings were made during the summer but yet nothing to show for it rather we’ve got those fine players now turning to flop in the Chelsea colour.

 Pochettino too was another bad decision of the board and he’s proving that match after match by his poor decision making. Palmer isn’t a striker, he’s tried this out and didn’t work so why still trying it and against a tea like Liverpool. I think Poch needs to be fired and a more experienced coach who’ll be able to build these young players be hired then we might see Chelsea back in their glory days.

Talking about the number of players that Manchester United has, which is much more than Manchester City, it is true, but even though MC only has fewer players, all the players they have are very high quality, while the players that MU has are not like those that MC has.
I don't judge that MU players are not quality, but in terms of performance, we can judge how all the players that MU have performed, as there has been no improvement in any way and I have the same thought as you. Initially last season they were able to recover but this season looks very bad. there is no improvement whatsoever as it just runs in place.
I know that Erik Ten Hag will indeed be retained at MU because he is a coach who is good at talking so it is possible that MU management will also believe that retaining this coach will provide a good future but in my opinion it is enough time to give Erik Ten Hag a chance and it is time for MU have to look for a new coach compared to maintaining it in the long term but there is no improvement but instead your performance is decreasing.

Chelsea fans should be able to think more realistically. With their current form even thinking about getting fifth place in the league would also be very, very difficult. I think Chelsea has lost hope. It's true that there are still 16 games remaining and anything can happen in the league. But Chelsea have played 22 matches and only got 9 wins. With results like this I don't think Chelsea will suddenly get good results in the remaining matches this season. So I think Chelsea will get at least 7 or 8 more wins and that won't be enough to overcome the points deficit of Aston Villa in fifth.
