Manchester City had their first goal when B. Silva got them the lead in the 16 minutes. They way they were playing i thought they would score more goals and may win this match but it did not happen. In the 36th minute Ndiaye leveled the score for Everton. Manchester City wasn't able to find another goal and in the 2nd half none of the team were able to get find the net.

Before the start of play, i thought Everton would be easily defeated by Man city as they only won 3 matches till now, but they show some outclass resistance against Man City and didn't let them win.

Now Man City will try their luck in the next match against Leicester City on this Sunday.

Except you're betting against them, it's safer to avoid giving them a win until they get back to winning ways. City's form has dropped drastically and betting on them to win is like doing charity to bookies.

As today is boxing day, it looks like the bookies are having a great day boxing the life out of punters. Two big teams; Manchester City and Chelsea have failed to deliver for those who went for a win, and it looks like Man United is going to following suit. They're currently trailing by a goal and to add to their woes, Fernandes has gotten a red card.

Football is always full of surprises, and nowadays I don’t always feel much surprise when anything happens in football because I have witnessed many. I didn’t really expect that Fulham would even equalize the goals and go on to win the game, but the truth is that both teams played well, and Fulham deserved to win. A draw was what I was expecting before the match started, based on Fulham’s recent performance, or Chelsea should have won the game since it was Chelsea’s home game. However, I never expected a win from Fulham because I knew Chelsea was in great form. Chelsea should prepare for their next match, which will be against Ipswich. Ipswich is not a strong team, but sometimes they are unpredictable, especially when playing at their home ground.

Exactly, football is full of offsets this time, many things are happening above our expectations and we keep seeing surprises because the teams we consider as small teams have signed quality players to become a better team because no team wants to be left behind.

From 1 -0 lead to 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge is actually not good for Chelsea, their standards of this season is above losing such games, but what do we have to say now as Fulham also have quality players as well.

Manchester United on the other hand is facing another threat, their captain Bruno Fernandez has been sent off, they are currently playing one man down which might lead them to a defeat because they are plying away from home.
Manchester United just conceded 1 goal in the 58th minute; I hope they don’t concede much goals.

I think there was a little improvement in Manchester city's performance in today's game compared to what we saw in their previous encounter against Aston villa where they lost by 2 goals to 1 to Aston villa. In today's game Manchester city were able to create a lot of chances in front of goal but weren't able to utilise them, their finishing was very poor too and that's why they couldn't find the back of the net for the second time.

Am of the impression that Pep Guardiola's boys are going through some sort of psychological problems that is affecting their performances and until this issue is dealt with they might still continue to face difficulties on the pitch.

Yes, that's true. They played with more composure and temperament. Unlike other games we have watched where they tend to exert more pressure on their opponent by so doing keeping open space for a counterattack against their goalpost. Today they have managed to take a draw and not lose.

I think Manchester city are gradually getting out of the snake line and would soon get back to winning ways, the signs are already there and I expect Pep Guardiola to keep up with the good job by encouraging his players never to throw in the towel because it is obvious that the competition is still between Liverpool and Manchester city considering the outcome of Chelsea's game today, I still do not consider either Chelsea or arsenal as potential contenders for the title but I would rather tip Manchester city as the real contenders against Liverpool depending on how fast they get back on their feet, if you take a look at the table and observe the point difference then you may understand what am talking about.

Yeah it was on the 14 minutes Bernardo silva scored the Manchester City goal and on the 36 minutes Ndiaye equalised for Everton which became 1:1 and the game became a moderate fight for the two and just as people was expecting nothing from Everton they got a surprise from them and Haaland missed the penalty that would have given them the 3 point, between Bernardo silva, Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku one of them would have done better if they were the one that took the penalty, Nottingham Forest was one of the successful club that would be entering the weekend with a joyful heart from the wining against Tottenham Hotspur while Bournemouth and crystal Palace played the whole full time with 0:0, actually I lost my bet because of Bournemouth match, do to the believe I had that since they are more higher they would win crystal Palace but they ended up draw.

I have stopped betting on City matches but it would be fun to always bet against them in their matches, because you might end up making good profits from their matches. Everton gave most big clubs headache when they clashed and City also faced that. City is falling gradually, and it might be difficult for them to boubce back this season. Pep should get some players when the transfer window is open.

That was how I stopped betting on Chelsea last season. The Blue's condition was so bad that lowly lowly-placed team where beating them mercilessly. I think this is Manchester City's turn to be humiliated. I won't also bet on City either because they are not the top-class club we used to know. New players might help but the mentality of the players is more important.

If Enzo Maresca doesn’t work on his defense, then Chelsea won’t really be going far. Chelsea concedes goals so much, which is not supposed to be, I just hope Enzo Maresca will try and fix the current Chelsea problem early, because he knows that Chelsea's defense is weak. Most of the goals that Chelsea do concede are supposed to be stopped by the defenders.

Chelsea conceded two late goals and that's really painful because the fans thought the game was almost over. They drew thier last game and they have just lost another one losing five points. The coach has some work to do to remedy the situation.

What a magnificent comeback from Fulham in the second half. Football is indeed full of surprises and i can't imagine that Chelsea lost this game to Fulham just almost close to the final whistle.

I was just disappointed in Chelsea today, I never expected them to lose the match, they conceded two goals towards the ending of the match. When Chelsea scored their first goal, I wasn’t so confident in them to get a win in the match, because we all know that Chelsea does always concede in their matches, so I was expecting Fulham to score also in the match, but I never expected Chelsea to lose because I was thinking they would be able to score more than a goal in the match.

Seriously, Enzo Maresca is still having a lot to do, he needs to get some players when the transfer window is open, because Chelsea's performance has declined. I know a team won’t be winning all their matches, but these are matches they are supposed to win, not losing or getting a draw.

Quote from: Richbased on December 26, 2024, 12:17:35 PM

Chelsea's defense needs to do better because if they had controlled the defense very well Fulham wouldn't have gotten the chance to score goals.

I don't think so. Everton is not a strong team. A 1-1 draw with such a team cannot be a good result. However, we have seen some improvement in Manchester City's performance. But if Manchester City cannot win, then what is the point of such an improvement in performance? Everton was a weak opponent. Manchester City should have earned 3 points in this match. Manchester City attacked a lot in this match. They were able to create many chances to score goals. But Manchester City players could not score more than one goal till the end.

I agree with you that City players are now mentally weak. This team's performance has been irregular for a long time. The players are also not confident now. Manchester City players have the ability to beat any big team. But due to lack of confidence, we are not seeing the good performance expected from Manchester City. City players need to be more mentally strong

Good players in Manchester United? What good players? All of Rashford, Ganarcho, Mainoo, Casemiro, Mount, Antony, Hojlund, and Zirkzee can't be regarded as good players.

What do you mean Manchester United has no good players, Ganarcho, Amad, Hojlund and other are good players yes they aren't world class but they are definitely good players. It's hard for a top 6 team or even many teams in top flight football not to have good players. K also believe that Manchester United needs to be very active in the upcoming market and get so more players but their present players are good.

Today again Manchester City has suffered a lot in the hand of the Everton, when the match started so many people’s was having hope for them, due to the way they started with strong performances but with much efforts and sufficient attacks of the Everton; there able to equalize back before the end of the first half which was great performing from the Everton.

I wasn’t surprised to see the result of this match because of the hard times Manchester City is currently facing. They are not doing well, and Everton is not a team to underestimate as well. I notice that anytime Everton is playing against a top team, they always do everything to either win or draw or at least score goals. Many teams are finding it difficult to win against Everton.

Manchester City are currently not in good form. Although I expected Manchester to win the match because they scored their goal in the 14th minute of the match, I thought they would maintain this goal to neither score more goals nor maintain their performance till the end of the match, but unfortunately Everton equalised in the 36th minute of the match.

Drawing with Everton is a shame to Manchester City but I guess because tbe team isn't performing well, drawing a match will looks like an achievement to many people. If you check Everton and Manchester City last 10 games, you will know how Manchester City has fell off badly and they didn't just draw, it's in Etihad that they draw Everton, same Everton that is trying and praying to leave relegation zone, this team need a redemption because there rating is not even encouraging.

This is the same team that was putting other teams in their place, making them bow before them. In fact, I compare the team that played today's match of Manchester City and Everton, it was the same players and this is what they could offer. Haaland has penalty on a plater of hold and.he struggle score it, and was later shouting for his goal been rule out after it was obvious that it was offside goal, I'm not tired of supporting the team but it's affecting my head mentally.

How can you say such a thing. Chelsea drew to Everton, Arsenal drew to Everton and these clubs are mentioned are currently better than Manchester City as we speak. Everton defense has improved even if their attacks has been poor but they tend to put more focus in their defense yet Manchester City tried to pass through and take a goal.

With the current challenged of Manchester City i do not understand the reason why you still have much expectation from them. In todays game i can only say i watched a better City play which i missed for a long time. If they continue to improve they might get back on their feet soon.

Manchester United actually has a lot of good players,

Good players in Manchester United? What good players? All of Rashford, Ganarcho, Mainoo, Casemiro, Mount, Antony, Hojlund, and Zirkzee can't be regarded as good players. There are no good players in Manchester United aside players like Amad and Bruno and Bruno has been shit recently, plus he's not my kind of midfielder.
A lot of restructuring is needed in that Manchester United squad. The manager shouldn't be losing the games he's losing but at the same time. the players are not good enough

Manchester United needs a world-class striker, a good winger who can create chances and score goals. Then, in the midfield, they need a DM, a creative central midfielder and an attacking midfielder.
They also need full backs that are good defensively and offensively.

Wonders shall never end and surprises are part bound to happen in football. Fulham was able to have a welcome back in the second half, after Chelsea scored their only goal in the first half. Wilson equalized the goal for hia club with a beautiful header after he got an assist from Castagne with a header Castagne on the 82nd minutes. On the last minute of the extra time R. Muniz scored with a clinical finish and stole all three points from Chelsea away from home on the 90+5 minutes. The game ended 1-2.

Just like I predicted before, Everton vs Manchester City will end in draw, it's really happen lol.

My heart was stopped when Manchester City get penalty kick, I thought they will score, but gladly Pickford as the best goalkeeper in England, can save it. Manchester get a curse, they play really badly even though the play with the same players.

Honestly, I didn't see a draw. I thought this is the game that's going to change everything for them. That City is going to win everton, build on the win and starts winning their remaining matches. Getting 1 win in 13 games is very bad and I can't exactly pinpoint the root cause of their problem but many thinks it has to do with Rodri's absence. And if this is true, then Pep needs to solve it in the January transfer window or else he may lose his job if things continues like this.

Manchester City had their first goal when B. Silva got them the lead in the 16 minutes. They way they were playing i thought they would score more goals and may win this match but it did not happen.

I dont see how Man City can win any matches im giving up on betting on them . I keep losing a lot of money on City and this is just crazy. I think that Everton is playing really well in defence and they could have won in last minutes on counter attacks. Everton survived 3 rounds against hard opponents and should continue their good form

City don't seem to be able to cope with Everton so far. After Silva's quick goal, Everton were able to get back on track with efforts from Doucoure and Ndiaye. Although in terms of shots on goal the teams are roughly equal, City hit 3 times and Everton 2, but in terms of possession City have a 60-40% advantage.
Apparently it was necessary to bet on the fact that both teams will score, because it was clear that immediately City will not be able to get out of the crisis and will still miss, and the odds that both teams will score I believe was about 1.5 -1.6.
Now City must not concede the second goal, otherwise the whole game can fall apart again and we will see another defeat of Manchester City at home.

Just for few minutes we thought Man City were going to win easily in this match, they showed a great performance, opportunities to score and dominance. However, just after the goal, I couldn’t understand why they started to look stressed and frustrated to a point where every player made a mistake, or lost very close goals, face to face with Everton’s goalkeeper.
Manchester City still has chances to make things right, they should score a goal or two in the beginning of the second half. Guardiola should change his plans and strategy to defensive one after scoring a goal, he should keep the players in the same position and make more efforts to score and create a better gap.

My prediction in this match is one the teams will score early in second half, then the opponent will draw the score and win eventually. Both teams are looking stressing and afraid of each other’s strength.

In the end the game ended in a draw, but still it seems that the City players did not really want to win and especially old looks unscored penalty Haaland, who usually realizes a penalty, but here he shot weakly and Pickford coped. In general, it seems that Haaland is still resentful of Guardiola, who last season did not always let him out in the base and now given the injuries in fact Guardiola has no choice and he is forced to put Haaland in the base.
In general, City is still in crisis and there is no end to this crisis in sight.

Chelsea also surprised today, who lost to Fulham for the first time in 45 years at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea played well in the first half but the second half became tough for them and they couldn't score which Fulham began to show greater strength and got the shocking winning that surprised everyone. I think the greatest highlight of today's game is this match between Chelsea and Fulham.

I guess not losing against Everton today made the team looks stronger or become improved wait until they face a better team than Everton in their next game before you talk about their improvements. Manchester City is a team that finds it very easy in front of goals when they are in good form and until they get back to that level of performance where they do not struggle to score goals I don't see them getting better regardless of the team they face.

Initially they said it was injury that is affecting the team but right now I don't know what to believe anymore unless their coach Pep Guardiola will be willing to talk about the problem of his team because some thing is not right and it's becoming too obvious you can see the way Haaland is struggling unlike him that can easily score cheap goals from chances that is created. Pep Guardiola should take a bow let the team try another manager.

Drawing with Everton is a shame to Manchester City but I guess because tbe team isn't performing well, drawing a match will looks like an achievement to many people.

The Chelsea vs Fulham derby ended in 1 : 2 in favour of Fulham, the winning goal came from the supersub Muniz in the 90+5 , a game I had thought was going to end in a 1:1 lever. This loss is going to be heartbreaking for Chelsea unbeaten streaks since this december thereby increasing their points difference with the league leaders Liverpool. Chelsea could have won this game with the few opportunities they had but Jackson who was with some of the chances couldn't make any fine finishing. I think Chelsea would be needing a good striker this January transfer to help them winning matches of this kind.
