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.

This would be a glorious moment for Arsenal. A moment where they tare toping the league with some real points and not goal points. All they need now is to maintain consistency in winning all the remaining EPL matches so that they can with the trophy they haven't won for a decade now. However, Arsenal has two strong competitors which is Tottenham and Chelsea. I know that these two teams are always very strong when they are playing Arsenal. If Arsenal can survive the force they will bring and manage to win them. Then for sure they will win all the remaining matches and lift the trophy up.

At a point i conclude that Manchester United would win the game yesterday. I saw intense the game was, where Liverpool was struggling to equalize. Lucky for them they did and shared the points with Manchester United. If not by now they will be shivering that they have bottled the league to Arsenal when they are down with three points. At this stage even one points is so important, its better you take a point than losing 3 points.

To be honest, I didn't expect Liverpool to draw last night. They excelled and dominated the match. It was recorded that they had 62% ball possession, 28 shots and 7 shots on goal. Liverpool have wasted the opportunity to take first place. The draw against Manchester United was quite bad for Liverpool because they are in the race for the title and there are some difficult games ahead. Arsenal only had 1 difficult match against Tottenham, with matches against Chelsea and United not counting because they often appeared inconsistent. It looks like Arsenal has the biggest chance of winning the EPL title this season.

Manchester United could have really won the game indeed. They weren't even the better playing side but that comeback was really impressive. If Liverpool scored at least 2 goals in the first half then the result of this game could be totally different. But despite all that huge dominance Liverpool couldn't do it and it cost them 2 points. 

I was expecting Salah to make difference and he really did by bringing one point to his team at least. However he will hope he doesn't regret missing a huge opportunity in the last minutes of the game as well. Liverpool still can't beat Manchester United this season.

I don't know if anything would change my mind on Liverpool winning this title race, they never helped matters ending draw with Manchester united, I hopefully expected a straight win victory, Liverpool had the chance but seems luck wasn't on their favor this time. So unlucky now Arsenal is replacing them, holding the first position on the table, we can't tell how long they will maintain the spot because looking like Mancity are currently back on the race, the 3 teams currently at their 70+ points majorly surpassing with just goals difference, the race is getting much tough than I expected.

Previously all Chelsea fans continue to give praise to Pochettino when winning the game against Manchester United, now they continue to mock and ask Pochettino to resign from his position as coach at this time, in the match against Manchester United we can see how tough the mentality of the Chelsea players at that time but precisely when against the relegation team we did not see it happen and even when Chelsea were in a state of winning They were caught off guard and could be exploited easily by Sheffield United's attackers to make the game end with draw score.

I think for now a change of coach seems to be the right solution, because after all Pochettino does not have the ability to lift Chelsea's performance to be better at this time, besides that the relationship between Pochettino at this time and the fans began to deteriorate and obviously it would be detrimental to Chelsea when if fans started boycotting and also no longer watching Chelsea matches later,  I don't know what the current Chelsea owners see from pochettino who have not been able to make Tottenham champion all this time in the Premier League, and failed to win the Champions League with PSG.

Manchester United and Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw.Liverpool are turning down chances every time.They had the opportunity to take the lead again but failed to win in a tough away game in which they played so well.Liverpool played a better game than their opponent and dropped 2 points in this away game.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, drew 2-2 with Chelsea.Sheffield had more scoring chances than Chelsea but could hardly score the equalizer until the last minute, which shows the difference in experience in the league.Things could have been different if Sheffield had left here with a win, but Chelsea did not allow it.
Totthenham, on the other hand, defeated Nottingham Forest at home and finally managed to move above Aston Villa.Totthenham, who equalized the points with Aston Villa with 3 points, still have 1 game less.

Manchester United and Liverpool faced each other in the last match of English Premier League where Manchester United managed to give tough competition against Liverpool. Liverpool is a team occupying the top position of the points table while Manchester United is a team at the bottom of the points table. Liverpool have been a consistent team this season but not as consistent as Manchester United but still against Liverpool Manchester United certainly competed hard, defended well and attacked well which led them to a draw against Liverpool. In this match, Liverpool should have achieved 3 points because Liverpool is a much weaker opponent than Manchester United, if they could have achieved 3 points in this match, their number one position in the points table would have been a little stronger.

Liverpool drew not lose lol. Expressing how vexed you're made me giggle lol. Era's comes to an end, it's good to see that Jurgen Klopps period as head coach ended all in favor for Manchester United.
And if you review the penalty awarded to Liverpool, there was obviously no good contact between Aaron and Eliot. Officials these days in the Premier League Competition do not always do a nice job for Manchester United, I'm not so happy about it. Anyways the draw wasn't the goal but good to see some positivity.

There's got to be enough games for Arsenal to remain at the top of the league, I'd rather see Bayern Munich knock them out of the Champions League, than not see them win the Premier League Competition. Klopp was mad at the both goals as Liverpool midfielder's didn't do well enough.

How long can fans keep accepting these fluctuating and shocking unexpected results, a win today then a messy lose on the next game or an unneeded draw particularly from a bottom side team that Chelsea was supposed to leverage a complete points from. No, that's ridiculous to think that Pochettino deserves the time Todd is giving him. I can't say there are any improvement going forward all this while so what the hell is he getting the time for. Is it to plunge the team to a relegation zone and that's when the management realizes that Pochettino was never fit for the Chelsea job. Frankly speaking, the task is weigh above his class..

Look at the likes of Mikel Arteta, Xavi Alonso  they all started their first season with an impressive performance, pushing the team from ebb to flight position but it's a different ball game for Pochettino leaving Chelsea dangling within the 10th to 12th position both the immediate previous season and this too. Shame on him.

Absolutely gutted by Liverpool almost replicating their FA CUP defeat display today against Man United. They had United held down and cornered all through the first half only for Quansah to lose it at the start of the second half. With today's loss, Its looking like the EPL title is gone for good because this Arteta team is looking like they're not going to drop a single point between now and the end of the season but we can only hope.

In Klopp's post-match reaction, he said that if Man Utd play like this vs Arsenal that Arsenal will definitely win.

Arsenal and Arteta seem to have learned their their mistake and weakness from last season when they failed to perform at their best in phase of the league. The result of Manchester United versus Liverpool has given them an advantage to stay at the top of the table due to a better goals difference. Liverpool have themself to blame for the loss with the mistake in the defense and the failure to convert chance after chance they had in the game against Manchester United. This situation makes the title race becoming so captivating with one point different between the first and the third position.

While Arsenal lead the standings, I think their chance to win the title is smallest among the three teams. This calculation is based on the fact that Arsenal still have to face Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs. These three teams are their historical rivals who always give intense game to each other. Playing against rival team can be an emotional game that needs strong mentality to stay focus, and Arsenal still have to play in Champions League game that makes their situation a bit complicated.

Mauricio Pochettino is not competent and handling the affairs of the team, it's weigh bigger than the coach, Todd Boehly just giving him time to blend with the players. Chelsea keeps making unexpected surprises because how on earth will the Blues record 2-2 draw tie with a relegation zone team? How is that possible in the first place. We're not done applauding them for the stellar performance against Manchester United and they've play another terrible game. This is tototally unacceptable but we're left with no option than accepting draw tie.
