Some of them will be leaving from UCL. They will not face busy schedules. The clubs that have been securing some spots in UCL need to put more effort to keep the performance of its clubs table in all of competitions. Manchester city needs someone who was able to play as good as bruyne.
Pep is also looking for a solution to get a nw player who can play as attacking midfielder that will help the club on making creative attack. Im doubting the consistency of some clubs like manchester city and arsenal. Liverpool was only playing in europa league.
It must not be that hard for liverpool to get the europa league trophy this season. Arsenal and manchester city will become the last candidates owned by EPL in UCL this season.

Pep has been fully experienced in managing the club to avoid its players to be exhausted. Liverpool is starting to driving up again after it was winning several matches in a row. Meanwhile, arsenal and manchester city was struggling.
People will be concerning about manchester city and arsenal. We do know that how bad the gunner's stats in the UCL this time. Im doubting arsenal will be going to the last 8.

It's indeed really frustating to see a big club with good players keep getting bad results. It makes situation unacceptable to say "it's normal for a team to have ups and downs", because Chelsea have spent too much fund to sign good players. Chelsea has a rich history and has demonstrated resilience in the past. Young players can be an asset who bring energy and fresh talent to the team, but they can't develop if the team keeps performing on low quality trends.

Pochettino needs a stronger and better backup from the board, because he cant work alone to solve this problem. The board needs to provide him a assisting team who will help him to address and evaluate the root of problems. This way is the best approach for the club to start the rebuilding with well-analyzed strategic plan. Football is a dynamic sport, and fortunes can change. Rather than dwelling on current struggles, it might be helpful to focus on supporting the team during this period.

United are in a very difficult situation. Fans have been asking for Ten Hag to be fired for a long time. I don't know what the Club Board thinks. It is likely that they provide a final chance for Ten Hag to at least ensure a place in next season's Champions League. But if United have inconsistent performances like this, I think it is impossible for them to get a place in the Champions League next season.

They really are inconsistent, I agree with you. They beat a tougher team but stumble on a smaller team according to your example. Their next competitor in the Premier League is going to be Liverpool by the way. It is going to be played at Anfield also. I see a really worrying scenario for Manchester United already.

I would like to remind you first about the last game between these teams here. Liverpool obliterated them by 7-0. What a game that was!

Manchester United were even in a condition that we could call better than this season. While Liverpool are this strong in home games (7W in 7 games) now I won't be expecting much from Manchester United to do.

It can already be felt that the tight and busy playing schedules of teams competing in several competitions are starting to show. Then from the fatigue they feel, they will be faced with injuries. I think teams like Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United are going through that and they will face situations that could result in a number of players getting injured.
As a result, big teams with busy playing schedules will experience a decline in their best performance. Manchester City won hard. Liverpool too.

Actually, I think something like this will only happen in December because we know that in December every club in the EPL is required to do a lot of matches which makes this a little complicated for themselves.
Clubs in the EPL in December sometimes only have a one-day break for recovery and then play again before they get a half-season break.
With a busy schedule every club is required to rack their brains so that the players are not exhausted and their consistency is maintained but sometimes things like this are difficult to happen because after all it will be very difficult to maintain consistency in a situation of busy fixtures that make matches sometimes not too predictable.

But for the case of Manchester United it is more than this because apart from their poor performance the tight schedule further worsens their quality which causes them to be like this now.

It is true that Manchester United is a very good team and is always the favorite, but that happened several years ago when Manchester United, led by Alex Ferguson, always won the league and also always won league matches and became champions. In my opinion, Manchester United's defeat with a score of 3 - 0 was very unfortunate, because the opponents faced by Bournemouth who were ranked 14th were very different from their position, this was a good opportunity to get three Old Trafford points but in reality they lost. I don't think Erik ten Hag will be able to solve this problem, because it is too difficult to find good tactics for Manchester United's front line and also the back line is so fragile that defeats keep happening. In my opinion, the best solution for Manchester United's development is to fire Erik ten Hag and look for a coach who can really develop a strategy on the front line and also a good defense for Manchester United.

I also think that replacing Ten Hag for now will not have a good impact even if Manchester United loses to Munich in the next match and prevents them from qualifying for the next round of the UCL. At least Ten Hag still has a chance to make Manchester United recover from yesterday's defeat and catch up so that at the end of the season they will be in the top four to enter the UCL next season.

It is not easy to find the right coach for Manchester United because it requires a more time-consuming process if the players from the squad team cannot be controlled well, Ten Hag must be able to pressure all the players from the squad team to play better so they can be in the top four EPL this season, at least they have to stay on the winning track after suffering a heavy defeat yesterday.

Do you think that Ten Hag is being unfairly accused? He rebuilt the team at his own discretion, brought many young guys into the team, but miracles did not happene, such a team cannot compete in such a strong championship.

It is obvious that Ten Hag’s strategy does not work in the Premier League, maybe he can feel confident in weaker championships, but here it seems that everything works differently, and to achieve good results you need big money and top players. But even this will not always work, look at the example of Newcastle, they have excellent funding, but this season their results are not very good, and there are a lot of injuries, but apparently the problem lies somewhere within the team.

There are so many teams were competing each other to climb up and stay at the top. The only thing that saddened me to see chelsea is still losing the game. To be honest, this is so disgusting for chelsea to face another lose again.
It seems like that the bad trend will still continue for chelsea soon. Chelsea needs also to collect more points to make sure it will not be going down again. Even pochettino has been also expressing his disappointment toward the club.
Having lots of young players are not good. It can be seen from how chelsea is still wasting so many chances to win the game. The incompetence performance from the players were just making it even worst.
No doubt that if chelsea may be going back to the releagtion zone again soon. Chelsea is just chelsea now. it will never be another manchester city. It's caused by the prime era of chelsea has gone.

It seems that not only the EPL, all other league competitions also cannot be predicted correctly because football matches always have lots of surprises and of course many bookies find it difficult to bet on clubs that have the potential to win. And basically Manchester United has experienced a decline this season, not only At the start of the season, the level of consistency was highly doubtful because this team often made mistakes. Erik Ten Hag as coach couldn't do much. He was also often blamed for Manchester United's defeat because he always made mistakes in implementing strategies.
Since joining Manchester United last season Ten Hag was able to build a good performance and was able to bring Man Utd to the top 3, but this season the team's performance is really chaotic. I hope Manchester United management immediately fires him and replaces him with a better coach who doesn't have the character. loud like Ten Hag which causes discomfort between players and coaches.

At this point it's a very risky thing to predict EPL games. Now the game results keep flunctuating and it just makes the league unendingly fun because a winner can't be predicted, neither can there be consistency too. The last two EPL encounters had in itself results that left everyone in shock, and I'm pretty sure this coming week would be full of more suprises as well.

 Definitely, some teams experienced a decline in their performance and also on their stand on the league table, whilst some remained dormant and some had a small lift too. At this point, the EPL table is highly competitive as just 3points separate the 4th place from the first place. Any next backslide would cost each person their spot on the table. The league tempo bass helped every team to put up their best game recently and prove their worths too. It's only sad that some teams would still stay down and keep embracing defeats

Manchester United are also a very interesting team this season. "Inconsistent" might be a better word to tell their condition I guess. They can win against Chelsea at Old Trafford but at the same time they can lose to Bournemouth at the same place by even a huge score like 3-0.    The point difference with top 4 is 6 now. Finishing the season in top 4 will be crucial for Erik ten Hag. If the board don't see the team in the Champions League next season then I don't think Erik ten Hag would stay longer.

I'm talking like he will last until the end of the season of course. Who knows maybe he would get sacked earlier depending on results.

Who would have thought that Tottenham would surprisingly reach the top of the standings with such huge ambitions and continue to get consecutive wins but in the end they would fall because after being at the top of the sky they lost control and fell, consistently losing and occupying the 5th position after MC and this is the same as Aston Villa which is currently It's surprising to win twice against a popular club in the Premier League and it's possible that after beating this big club, the players' self-confidence will increase and they will continue to get consecutive wins and then after that they will have the same fate as Tottenham.
Actually, conditions like this have often happened, it's just that it happened too quickly, surprising people and I don't think that Aston Villa will be a challenger in the long term, it will definitely lose consistency and after that it will be pushed back by a big club.
It's just that currently the Premier League competition looks more competitive and attracts everyone to continue to see the development of all the clubs that will compete for first place in the points table.

Newcastle's current form is so unexpected, especially considering the initial promise they showed last season and early this season. I think their current situation is caused by the fact they are a well-unticipated team now, similar to Brighton, because of their achievement last season. Another factor is that they arent used to have a splitted focus, as they have to play Champions League that makes them not really settled on their new challenge.

I dont think they have personal issues,  because they are well-known for their compactness on and off the field. It's common for teams to go through rough patches, and the reasons behind a sudden decline can be multifaceted. I hope Newcastle can address these challenges and bounce back to their earlier form. Maybe Newcastle need to sign 'Santiago Munez' to strengthen their squad and add a strong mentality of player like he has shown in the 'Goal' movie.

Aston Villa has played extraordinary this season. They have been outstanding this season. Maybe there will be new fans for Aston Villa from children who are new to football. City looked in trouble against Luton. I was really surprised when they took the lead through Adebayo's goal late in the first half. I thought the match would end in a draw or even defeat for City but in the end City won again through their 2 quick goals in the second half.

I don't understand how Newcastle could have done such a performance, I don't understand it, of course Everton is one of the teams that hasn't performed very well, they have fallen a lot, and I find it strange with Newcastle because they have a very good record, of course I am one of those who think that things when they try to do things much better, I would think that when we are in the presence of doing things better they can be noticed a lot, I am one of those who believe that any team can fall to any , because every football match that takes place is a new story, but Newcastle also looked very bad and that is what surprises me because it is a team that always fails, but nevertheless you can see that things when they try to do them in the best way because sometimes it is like that, it could be that sometimes things are going wrong internally for that day, they were not understood, or that it was simply all the fault of the Technician who gave the indications wrong or his strategy was very bad .

In football things are very strange when these types of results happen, but there must be a big reason, that's why I have always said that these teams get better when they are at the same level, and Newcastle has improved a lot , This attack needs to be more Effective , I have seen teams that are very good, especially teams that do not get tired and maintain a very fast-paced game, with great action, and that are running all the time on the attack, I think this is a failure for Newcastle will help you a lot to understand what they need to improve, sometimes a match that is lost like this makes the players reflect and know that they are doing something wrong, and for that reason they must improve certain aspects, the Newcastle I still say that they are one of the favorite teams under which things can be quite good, this team can continue to impress us , I just hope they don't get discouraged , because that Would be very Bad.


Newcastle's performance has me baffled, it's strange how they are doing it, I actually had a lot of hope for this team, because things have done very well, at first, but now I don't know, I think There can be many personal problems, or problems with the coach, but something must not be very right, in fact I don't know if you have seen the Newcastle movies , which is from a few years ago, which is called Goal, it has two parts, really Things can be very strange if we see that their performance has dropped like a free fall, the wins do not look good for any team, it may be that they fail once, but two wins in a row is a reason to do better, or that the ocsas are already getting out of control.

At this point I think that things for Newcastle must be fixed as soon as possible, because they are losing a great opportunity, and that is something that rarely occurs, one must take advantage of good opportunities, and obviously in the team there are things that are going wrong , that must be corrected and move forward, I believe that things can be fixed, headed towards being better, but that is what I think for now, I am speculating a lot, but I want to see this team re-emerge.

There's a new contender for the championship this season, and that's Aston Villa. After defeating Mancity, they followed up with a win against Arsenal, the two strongest contenders for the title. No one paid much attention to them, but they've been making steady progress. Aston Villa is now only 1 point behind Arsenal and 2 points behind Liverpool. This gap could be closed at any time. The resurgence of Aston Villa has made this year's race incredibly exciting and unpredictable.

Not stopping there, both managers, Pep and Arteta, have admitted that Aston Villa is a championship contender this year. It's time for us to give Aston Villa a more accurate assessment of their position this season.

The recent woe of Newcastle United

If you examine Newcastle United pattern this season, you will understand that the club is systematically inconsistent. If not, they would have been at the top of the English Premier league table. Let me buttress, the first match of Newcastle United this season was excellent,  after which they dropped in performance.  Later on we saw that their performance became great again upto last week that Everton humiliated them by 3 goals to nil. I thought that it was a cool off from their good performance that they will probably bounce back in their next match. But surprisingly today, Tottenham scored a whooping 4 goals against them. This shows that Newcastle United is inconsistent and if they continue thus, they will not see top 4 of the Premier League season.

Guys, what has happened with Everton? They won Newcastle last week and Chelsea this week. Do they want to represent in Champions league next season?

Am more surprised than you in this instance, because for me Newcastle united were already winners, but after 90' I can't say same. It has really been a very different result than I anticipated for all the matches played this weekend, because all the teams I was hoping to see win, lost and the  EPL table looks more clustered at the top than ever.
The fatigue is setting in and all the bigger teams with more matches in other leagues go through this I believe, hence why the  least performing clubs in the EPL right now are doing better than ever.
