I couldn't even hold until the end of the first half, Arsenal and West Ham match is ongoing and it is more like a competitive match, even though Arsenal is dominating with an impressive performance, doing what they know best, the team work are quite commendable, west Ham has so much to hope for in this game maybe possibly fighting for draw game and it already 2 : 4 at the time am making this post, indeed the game is pretty hot at this time and am wondering what wil becomes of it in the second half of the game although Arsenal stands a better chance of winning the game.

It's been a shit defending from Westham conceding two avoidable penalities in just 45mins just when I thought they were coming into the game after scoring two goals in 5 mins, they conceeded another one. It's been a goal galore weekend and exciting games so far, still more exciting games tomorrow.

Thought it was going to be a close game after I watch Westham play Newcastle last weekend, they've been awful today..

Chelsea and Arsenal have the opportunity to go above Manchester City this week if Liverpool either play draw against City or if Liverpool win the game which is all possible and Manchester City can also win as well to end their deadlock this time.
Arsenal is playing a tough London derby currently, they are leading by 1-0 in the first half, if they end up winning the game, they will go above Chelsea with goal difference , and it Arsenal win the game, Chelsea will play under pressure and since they will be playing against Aston Villa, they might draw or even lose because Uni Emrey’s team played two draws in their last two matches, and they will try their best to get a point against Chelsea.
The opportunity for Arsenal and Chelsea to surpass Manchester City in the standings is certainly there, but this also depends on their respective performances and also on Manchester City's performance. Arsenal seemed to easily win their away match today where when I wrote the score was 0-2. West Ham haven't fought back so far and I think there will be several follow-up goals to come throughout the game.

Let's say Arsenal won this match, while Chelsea is still in doubt because Aston Villa looks strong. Chelsea has certainly improved compared to last season, but Aston Villa should not be underestimated at all. Moreover, Liverpool will not provide any guarantees in their home matches, even if they are in their best form.

Southampton performance against Brighton yesterday was truly unbelievable. after Brighton took the lead in the first half, I thought it would be an easy win for them, given their league position and home ground advantage. However, Southampton second half comeback was incredible. Despite Brighton strong performance, I expected them to score more goals in the second half. Instead, Southampton equalized and even came close to taking the lead, only to have the goal disallowed by VAR.
I think a draw was a good result for Southampton because Brighton was better suited to win the match. Getting a draw at away is something that Southampton have to celebrate considering how badly they have performed this season. They can build on that draw because the reality of getting a draw from Brighton could be a huge motivation for them to do better when they meet other serious teams.

I am watching Arsenal playing at away against West Ham and I can confirm that the Gunners are doing amazingly well and have gotten an early goal to put them on the lead. Although West Ham is trying to resist but the have no choice. Arsenal just got their second goal from a beautiful working that resulted in a goal. I think they have bagged this away three points.

You are right. This week could be a nice chance for Chelsea to move above Manchester City in the Premier League standing. Manchester will be playing Liverpool in Anfield and judging by their form, Manchester City have a lower chance of winning the match. And on the other hand Chelsea will face a test when they welcome Aston Villa to Stanford bridge. Aston villa has proven to be a tricky side and could potentially cause an upset for Chelsea. I think the match will tightly contested but Chelsea will be victorious.

This week could be a nice chance for Chelsea to take 2nd place also.  Grin  Because Manchester City are still in trouble. Liverpool can turn this into an advantage to get closer to the PL title.

Let's go back to the Chelsea game... They are going to play a home game against Aston Villa. You know how fast Aston Villa have gone down in the PL this season. Emery can't find a solution for these bad results for a while. On the other hand Chelsea are on the rise. Even Jackson is scoring these days.  Tongue  While Enzo Maresca is doing a good job I expect another win at Stamford Bridge. 1.73 is pretty nice odds for Chelsea win, what do you say?

The Red Devils got their first win with their new manager Ruben Amorim. It was a tough one though.  Tongue  Bodo/Glimt made them serious difficulties. The defensive problems are still not fixed but it is early of course. They will need to get used to playing with a 3-defender formation first. Then this system will start working nicely hopefully.

Now the Everton game is next. Everton are far away from their good old days. At Old Trafford their chance is low. I hope Amorim will get another win here. 1.56 odds are nice enough for me to add to a combined parlay.
I'm seriously watching to see how Manchester United will cope in the match against Everton even though the later is not a major team that can be used to test a serious team because they are struggling to remain at the EPL this season unlike previous seasons that they are always at the middle of the table. However, if Manchester United are able to win the match, it will be a pretty good start for Ruben Amorim who is seriously under scrutiny.  I actually expect Manchester United to win the match to put them on the right track because winning have its way of motivating the players.

Compared with the beginning of the season ,at this time their performance is starting to decline drastically, even in the match we can see how Southampton was actually able to keep up with their game in the match although in terms of player quality Brighton is still better, the goal scored by Mitoma should have aroused Brighton motivation in the match but they actually looked like they were starting to play their carefull after win with score 1-0, but Southampton showed their fighting spirit by scoring a goal to equalize the score to 1-1, Although their winning goal was disallowed, but I think they have played with high determination and luck for Brighton if VAR has saved them from defeat in that match.
In fact, I tend to think Brighton can win this match instead of drawing. Brighton played really well and they had more chances than Southampton, but luck was not on their side in that match. I also didn't watch the match until the end, but based on the statistics of both games, I can conclude that the 1-1 draw was unfair for Brighton.

Brentford are going crazy at home, they are currently 4-1 ahead of their guests Leicester. Kevin Schade scored a hat-trick in today's home match and another goal was scored by Yoane Wissa. The match is not over even though there are only a few minutes remaining, but it is certain that Brentford will win this home match safely.

Southampton full strength football team became successful to draw this match . That match was not one sided and audience enjoyed that match because both teams did all efforts to win this match.  Mitoma was the first player who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 29 minutes of the match.  And after we saw next goal from the opponent team which was Southampton team .
Downes  did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 59 minutes of the match. That match was exciting and enjoyed that match very much and I watched all match because we were curious about Southampton team because they could goal  at any moment but we saw equal performance from both teams and both teams got equal points in this match.

Manchester United kept Erik ten Hag for 3 years even though he didn't make progress in the PL. I hope to see them being patient with Amorim also. If his tactics start working then we could finally see Manchester United going back to the good days.  Smiley

Not even my granP who is old and now with difficulties will say or write such a thing on here. People who say this are just core ten Hag haters. It breaks my heart to see such on here. Before Erik Ten Hag,  Manchester United wasn't in the top four and found it difficult to qualify for the Champions league,  they also won two trophies in two seasons and the same time playing three finals in two seasons. I won't be suprise if most of you come out here to criticise Amorim same way you praising him.
Criticizing does not mean hating, when the coach is unable to get the team he is handling out of the slump, then criticism will continue to come to him, this is very natural in my opinion because the goal of the team hiring him is to manage the team well. The situation Ten Hag is experiencing is beyond tolerance, there is no other way to save Manchester United from the slump other than firing him. Yes, he gave a little bit of light at the beginning of his coaching, but it slowly started to fade.

There is a Liverpool - Manchester City game in a few days. It is a really crucial one considering the title competition.

~snipped

Here is the odds.

I would even expect Liverpool to have lower odds than that honestly.  Tongue  Because Manchester City have been experiencing really tough days recently. Did you see how Feyenoord got a point from them at Etihad by coming back from a 3-0 disadvantage?

Guardiola and his students are in a devastated condition. While Liverpool are doing great I think they are a serious favourite to win this game. There is a huge opportunity to make the gap 11 points. I wouldn't even be surprised if Arne Slot does some rotation against Real Madrid today.

I decided to check out for the latest odd Incase any has recently changed, considering the fact that Liverpool lost a key player to injury in their game against Real Madrid, it feels like their odd isn't affected much. Truth is, I see Liverpool winning this game. We might just see Manchester city defending for a longer time, because I believe pep might not want to risk his backline against a fast moving side like Liverpool with very fast wingers.

The game is definitely going to be tactical, but it will be quite unfortunate for pep to lose this game. Liverpool will definitely want to extend their lead, and they have what it takes to do that, but I just hope it doesn't get worse like the game against Spurs. Good luck to both sides.

It looks like their preparation time to face Everton is very close. They just beat Bodo a day ago, and now have to compete again in the premier league. I hope their squad is going well without any injury or fitness issues. Everton has enough preparation time, they don't have the Europa Tournament like MU did, so their preparation to face MU is 100% complete. This will be an interesting match to watch because their statistics are similar to each other, so there could be surprises from the away team. this should be anticipated MU; there is the possibility of rotation that Amorim will implement to overcome explosion form Everton.

Indeed it was difficult to believe that Liverpool would survive without Jurgen Klopp because he was so good and highly instrumental to the success of Liverpool. He was committed to his job and had a wonderful working relationship with the players. Therefore it was right to doubt if there would be a good replacement for him. Arne Slot actually surprised everyone, even though it is still too young to judge him but from what we are already seeing, he is doing well as a coach and is a good replacement for Jurgen Klopp. If he continues this way, he will definitely win a trophy in his first year at Anfield.
Liverpool has shown significant form under the current slot coaching and of course he has to thank Klopp for leaving the perfect team to him, this season they managed to top the Premier League and UCL standings and this shows that Liverpool have great potential to be champions this season, but I think slots have a big challenge to keep Liverpool in form not only this season,  But the real challenge is next season when he must build his own squad without being in Klopp shadow.

A coach will be tested when making changes to the line up. I don't doubt Arne Slot but the fact is that the current line up has been formed very neatly by Kloop. So Arne Slot is just like continuing everything that Liverpool had before. Well, if in the coming season Arne Slot can still maintain that performance, we deserve to give praise to the coach. For now I can't give any praise and just see how far Arne Slot will take Liverpool.
Next season he needs to show his ability to manage the team, make the right tactical decisions while maintaining the consistency of the players, but if he can not  doing, of course Liverpool will have the same fate as Manchester United in the Ten Hag era, great shown in his first season in coach,but subsequently they have suffered a slump.

With the performance of Liverpool against Real Madrid in the champions league game they played about some days ago, i can vehemently say that Liverpool will be the favorites to win in the premier league match against Manchester city because i see capacity in Liverpool than Manchester city. Right now, Manchester city is in a state of devastation and confusion and i doubt if they can really win Liverpool this coming Sunday. The odds of the bookies have already said it all, it's a must win game for Arne slot's men. Manchester city is yet to overcome their losing streak of going 5 games without a win out of their last 6 matches they have played in all competitions, so more difficult situations await them.
          I feel so bad for Pep Guardiola because it seems like he is going through the most difficult time in his coaching career, and it is really a big slap on the face of the Four consecutive premier league winner, Pep Guardiola. Hope he heals from this nightmare.

This is as tough as Liverpool facing Real Madrid before in the Champions League even though the chances between them are almost balanced but Liverpool showed their greatness in front of their supporters and finally beat Real Madrid, in these 2 tough matches Liverpool were lucky enough because they were held at their headquarters so that they would perform better by bringing supplies from previous victories Liverpool must be more confident when facing Man City this club is also in unstable performance and the mentality of their players must be a little disturbed because they experienced consecutive defeats so Liverpool can take advantage of that to widen the points between them.
It is very difficult to stop Liverpool who always consistently maintain their best performance, Real Madrid has just become a victim of Liverpool greatness according to Arne slot and now Ancelotti team is finding it increasingly difficult to qualify for the last 16 of the UCL. Man City fate is much worse than Real Madrid, they are in a victory crisis, even the victory that was in sight was lost just like that after Feyenoord managed to make the match end in a draw. Liverpool players continue to maintain their motivation to win because this is an important match for them, a win over Man City will make them even more solid at the top of the standings.

Amorim needs time. It would take a long or a short one but he definitely needs it to apply his strategies without issues. He has literally lived all his life in Portugal until coming to the PL. This is a big change for him also. He would also have some adaptation process. He is managing one of the most prestigious PL teams now. He must be aware of his big responsibilities already.

Manchester United kept Erik ten Hag for 3 years even though he didn't make progress in the PL. I hope to see them being patient with Amorim also. If his tactics start working then we could finally see Manchester United going back to the good days.  Smiley

Hojlund has said that Amorim's system suits him well, and reminds him the days at Atalanta, but i don't wanna to rush it. I should wait longer to see how effective Amorim's system is to Manchester United's squad. I know they won, but they also almost lost points, too.

Winning 3 goals and conceding 2 goals against a low tier team is not something that we should be overly proud of. It's very interesting to see how they will play when they fight a strong team like Liverpool.

Amorim has a lot of works to do on his club now. The win in the Europa League actually helped his club to bounce, but they're yet facing a strong club.
