I believe that we are going to end up with KDB and Haaland playing together soon enough, in about two weeks. When that starts, like when they are both on the field, the result will not be all that easy, we are going to end up seeing City end up beating every single team. I mean they could still lose, it is a possibility, but they have become so much better if you ask me.

The fact that they missed these players here and there, and specially KDB, made the team so much better because everyone else had to step up, and that means everyone else plays great now, and with KDB coming back, they will keep on being great, and adding these stars will only make them even better. It is showing already, add Haaland on this and you got yourself maybe the greatest team in recent memory, only be beaten by that galaticos Real Madrid team.

De Bruyne is exceptional when it comes to attack and when I heard he was back i was happy because to some extent the De Bruyne has strength my club so much. And is presence means a lot to the club. Why would you say you don't want us to win the Premier League again because if you look at it now who else deserves it if not us. Aside that de brune is in my club everyone loves him because of is dedication to the club. When he went on injury I was not happy at all because I know it will affect the club and thank God is back and he came back with doing more womders. When you watch de De Bruyne play you will know that that dude is talented and that is anything his around its a very good opportunity for haaland to score also because De Bruyne give one of the best assistance you can ever imagine.

In this match Spurs played great even without a complete squad. If they had Son, maybe the score would be different. Yes that's right. Man United's defense is very bad, especially goalkeeper Onana. Onana was very selfish by delaying going to the Africa Cup of Nations, insisting on playing with Man United and in the end not winning. The more Onana continued to play, the more Man United was hit. The number of goals conceded is very, very, very, very, very much.

I was surprised by Erik Ten Hag's decision, even though he had often conceded goals, Onana was still trusted to be the starter as if he didn't have a backup goalkeeper at all. If in another team like Madrid, they don't play well in three matches, they must be benched first so they can introspect and give the reserve goalkeeper confidence to be able to perform. In this match it was very clear that Onana could not be relied on in anticipating corners and crosses. He didn't dare cut the ball in the air, he was too focused on watching his teammates duel for the ball.

I don't want to say Manchester City will definitely lose or draw without De Bruyne, from my point of view Manchester City winning percentage decreases slightly while De Bruyne is in the treatment room. After De Bruyne returned to strengthen Manchester City, he immediately showed his class as the most vital player for the club he defended. Manchester City game immediately improved, and it didn't take long for him to show his class.

Even though he started the match as a substitute when Manchester City played against Newcastle, he immediately contributed to the team and became the hero of Manchester City victory. I think Manchester City goal productivity will increase if Haaland collaborates with De Bruyne again, Pep Guardiola will also be calmer when the starting XI he has compiled is complete.

You can't really sure if someone will able to deliver stable performance. It's normal to see that the cycle if football player's performance. It can go up and down again. Garnacho was not shining last season but he is just proving his worhiness this time.
Rashford seems got another bad thing that makes his performance has been declining a lot. While Rashford may face difficulties, he remains capable of contributing with goal-scoring, and it is worth noting how Ten Hag is increasingly entrusting Antony to operate independently.
The good performance from tominay and meguire were pure luck in the last matches. Anything can happen but im sure that if manchester united will be getting another bad result again.
The current team was not even strong enough to compete at europa league.

It's too slow on its regeneration and manchester united was too often buying the useless players. There are many articles about how much money being spent by ten hag to get bull cup. It's not even worthy to have him in the club but the management seems had different perception regarding this .
The fans are feeling so upset with the club under ten hag. They were always screaming their disappointment to the ten hag and management but none of these parties were caring to the fans.

He spent most of last season as false 9 and with Anthony and Sancho running down the LW and RW, he didn't need to drop deep to receive passes like he has this season because there is literally no distribution coming from the wings as Anthony and Sancho both lost their places in the team this season and Casimero and Bruno, who are supposed to provide services from the midfield, are struggling with match fitness.

Poor teamwork was more responsible for his drop in form and early-season knocks too

Yes, it seems like Marcus Rashford's bad performance is in line with Manchester United's bad performance, when the club performs badly the players also find it difficult to show their best and in my opinion the club's main problem is the coach, last season Marcus Rashford still played better than now because he still has confidence but now the club is not in a good mental state so Marcus Rashford has also fallen into decline, but we also can't blame anyone who is at fault among the players or the coach but from the many comments from various fans that this is the fault of the coach who failed to improve the confidence of the players.

A team doesn't just rely on 1 player, if all the players don't play optimally then the club will experience a decline and that happened to the Manchester United club currently led by Erik Ten Hag. A coach must be able to build the overall performance of the club because the coach is the foundation of a club it alone can provide the right strategy and direction to all the players.

Manchester united's poor defensive line was not able in making the situation to be even better. The club has been leading the match but it was failed caused by manchester united was not able in defending from totenham's attack.
It was fucking disappointed to see that how manchester united lost three points in old trafford. Manchester united can do better rather than try to get 1 point. Totenham has been playing carefull and it was always pressuring manchester united's defensive line.
The only problem owned by manchester united was really poor defenders. The club has been conceding so many goals and there must be overhaul in the defensive line. Manchester united needs to recruit good defenders and goal keeper.
This is the mistakes owned by ten hag when he was buying a new goal keeper without even try to reconsider it again. Onana was a flop and this is the fact. Manchester united will not play in UCL next season. The club will be only achieving europa league at the end of season.

Man United vs Tottenham in this two team match both teams scored 2-2 for which the match between the two teams was a draw. Man United team scored the first goal in the first 2 minutes of the game. M.  Rashford scored 2 goals in 40 minutes. Tottenham team player Richarlison scored 1 goal in 19 minutes. R.  Bentancur scored the 2nd goal in the 46th minute to draw the match. Tottenham could not win this match due to the poor performance of their players.

I agree about Rashford. He is really performing poorly this season.    I don't know what happened to this guy in only one season to be honest. Last season he was incredible and Erik ten Hag was still the manager then. But now the manager is the same but Rashford isn't. He is a very crucial member of the team as we all know. When he performs badly the team are also in extra trouble.

I understand that Manchester United are having a poor season compared to the last one. But skilled individuals still should be able to do their best for the team. Rashford can't give any excuse for his poor effort throughout the season until now.

Aston Villa have been very impressive this season in the English Premier League and would've drawn level with Liverpool had they won their English Premier League game against Everton yesterday but unfortunately for them, the game ended in a 1:1 scoreline. Many people especially Aston Villa fans weren't happy with result because they wanted a win that'll give them more chances of finishing the season in the top four of the league table.
But let's not forget that Everton have also been impressive this season and if not for the point deduction, they would've been in a better position in the league.

The English Premier League season is getting better and more interesting as the season goes and no team is just ready to lose points at this very crucial moment in the league. Hopefully for Aston Villa, they might just finish the season in the top four.

People should put things in perspective. The draw between Aston Villa and Everton might not be the jaw-dropping victory or defeat that fans crave, but it's a result that reflects the competitive nature of football. It's not fair to overreact, especially considering the strengths and circumstances of both teams.

Aston Villa remains a threatening side, and writing them off after a draw would be premature. Their ambition to enter the top 4 this season is certainly within reach, if they dont have badluck with injuries given their squad's quality and potential. Every team faces challenges, and a draw doesn't necessarily indicate a decline in performance, because all other 3 contenders has experinced the same. Everton has shown significant improvement, and playing at home gives them advantage. The fact that they managed to hold Aston Villa, currently a strong side, to a draw shows about their progress. In the grand scheme of a football season, not every match will be a headline-grabbing win or a shocking upset. Draws are a part of the game, and they contribute to the overall narrative of a team's journey.

Don't overreact to this draw, I think this result is quite reasonable and fair enough for both teams, and Aston Villa is still strong and should also be taken into account to be able to enter the top 4 this season, but we also have to realize that Everton is a team who have improved much better and they are playing at home so it is quite natural that Everton managed to hold Aston Villa to a draw.

So true and that has been complainted by so many people. Pochettino was the worst in game management and decision making. Im not even seeing a good aspect to defend him as a coach for chelsea. Nothing has changed since pochettino was going in.
He keeps try to make more and more problems in the club. People said that at least give pochettino at the end of season but im doubting it if he will make more and more mistakes like that. Im being so disprespectful toward him caused by he was always repeating the same mistake.

So true and this is my first time to see that happens. I never see him placed as a striker in manchester city too. That is the worst in game management showed by pochettino against middlesbourg and he was getting his karma.
Chelsea is still not getting the results that chelsea should be getting. It's a disaster to see him become a coach for chelsea. Pochettiono has made so many unacceptable decision regarding the club.

Without Kevin De Bruyne Manchester city would have lost or Draw the match, but De Bruyne shows his class and with no doubt he is going to be a vital key if Manchester city is going to retain the title this season. I think this season is going to be a very dramatic one till de very end, it one thing that makes the English premier league so interesting. I hope he doesn’t get injured again and can’t wait to see Halland back too.

I couldn't be more serious about my words here but what you said


is so damn right! I am sure that 99/100 players would not have chosen to finish the attack like he did when he scored the equalizer. That goal was a Messi goal. Not just use force or speed, but smartness and precision. It was an amazing goal. And then he continues the game and gives that assist? Are you kidding me? The assist had only one square foot to land on and that's what De Bruyne did. It couldn't have been any shorter or any longer than that, but hey, no problem for De Bruyne. What a comeback. This guy is unstoppable and now all hope will be that his injury is gone once and for all for this season. Just think about this game against Newcastle and imagine he would NOT have been around. The goal wouldn't have been scored and I doubt anyone else would have given this exact assist.

The truth is for me about Chelsea and I come out sad, I don't know how to interpret what is happening to them, I would say that they are making a joke, because nothing is going well for them, for their part I don't know if in reality Pochettino is the culprit, or all the Players, this team is not getting ahead with anything, I don't understand it, I don't know what to think, maybe the mistake is Pochettino, if they change their approach? Because it's really been two seasons since Chelsea changed everything completely and they don't get out of the abyss they are in, every day they lose more and more, so could it be that they are doing wrong? I see the strategies that are appropriate, what the coach did today, he will have his reasons, he is the one who sees his players every day, he sees their performance, he sees whoever can contribute the most, the truth is, this has been a very problematic team, everything does not go as predicted , some players who have left who were supposedly the problem, also, I think this team needs to be challenged by someone else, there are already many defeats in a row, plus the level of the PL is very demanding, if it doesn't go up now, then when will they go up?

This is the time to do things well, I could regret that the problem has always been one of management, because if there are good players, then that will only happen? I think that salaries could be the reason why the players are there static and they don't want to do anything at all, that is very common to happen, but having a very different playing habits, that's why when we are watching a Chelsea player we don't see that there is something new, daring or something that could generate better things, for me what They lack heart on both sides, on the part of the coahc, on the part of the players, of knowing how to read the games, of many things, that is what I already think because it is impossible that a team that has everything could not give anything , that's something that doesn't enter my mind.

Well yes, it may seem very boring but these two are taking care of themselves , Aston Villa has been very good, they have an enviable position for many teams in the PL, I think that this team has grown, of course the case of Everton if they need to win , Maybe they see the tie as a gain, because they didn't lose points, they added 1 which isn't bad, as long as it's the fact of adding even if it's bad but it's better than losing, so I think they still have a lot of Opportunity, regarding the performance. Aston Villa's team is not bad as far as the fans see it, maybe they don't like that they have been tarnished but they have to Focus on the fact that things can sometimes be very decisive in what they can do , it is known that they are quite good in achieving some victories , in another order of ideas , the team that Started very well is Leverkusen, they already have a victory, and they are setting the tone in every sense, what I generally say is that every time you see that this team has A victory can make the Difference compared to Bayern.


Premier League legend tells Everton striker how to improve worrying statistic after Aston Villa draw

Exactly, he's a top player, top man but Manchester City winning the Premier League Competition again this season will be mind blowing, even if I don't want it for them, I can't stop them because that's what they want for themselves. But damn, it'll be superb boring ASF. Arsenal use to be my favorites but it's clear what they lacked.
Having Kevin De Bruyne back is a great joy for Manchester City fans.

I pray he doesn't get Injured ahead otherwise there'll be problem for Manchester City in them pursuit for success in the Premier League Competition and UEFA Champions League Competition.

I'm quite happy to see Kevin De Bruyne being back in the squad.    Maybe I don't want to see Manchester City as the champions in the Premier League once again. But it is still a great joy to watch a player like him. He has just recovered from his lasting injury but still he is able to perform like nothing happened right away. This is something special about him.

His game sense is just amazing. You must have watched the goal he scored and the assist he made against Newcastle. Both of them were really smart and lovely to watch.    He is known by this kind of amazing passes and he just continues from where he left. I think he will stay at Manchester City at least until the end of his current contract.

I think it looks like Aston Villa have a bit of a problem with player rotation. We know that big teams have the advantage that they have good squad depth so they will be able to perform consistently throughout the season. And I think Aston Villa is a mid-table team that has been able to perform surprisingly well at the start of the season. To be honest I was surprised by the draw because we know Everton are one of the worst teams in the EPL this season and everyone thought Aston Villa would be able to get 3 points from last night's match.
