After the match yesterday between Liverpool and Manchester united which ended in a 2:2 draw as I had predicted several days ago in one of my comments here, things are now progressing nicely for my favorite club - Arsenal, in the current standing on the premiere league table, Arsenal is continuing to maintain their lead in the number one place, while Liverpool have remained in the second place, however, both clubs are now sitting at exactly same number of points; 71 each, while Manchester city in the third place is not far away with a total of 70 points.

Personally, Arsenal are once again in a very tight corner where they are not supposed to lose or draw any game, else, they may slip from the top position easily.
And looking at the current game schedule, Liverpool will be playing against Crystal palace, which I think Liverpool really have a better chance of winning that game since Crystal palace is not such a strong club.
Arsenal on the other hand will be playing against Aston villa, Aston villa is a club that had once made it to the top position in the current Epl table, but currently, they are sitting in the fifth place, and this means that, this may be a very strong club for Arsenal, but all the same, I trust Arsenal not to disappoint, as we are in the stage where winning is very crucial, in other to avoid a repeat of what happened last season.

This season Chelsea performance cannot be fully trusted, they often play well when facing fellow elite clubs, even that is not certain. Chelsea management must kick Pochettino out if they want to perform well again next season, and they must look for a new manager who has better qualities. This season it looks like Chelsea will finish outside the European zone again, although they still have a chance to make it happen. However, with performance that is never uncertain, it seems quite difficult for Chelsea to create consistency so that they can finish where they want.

Everyone was surprised when they were able to beat Manchester United, and then draw against mediocre club Sheffield United. The young squad built by Pochettino is not working as expected, they also have to reshuffle the main squad next season. Chelsea reputation in the last two seasons has been very bad, they have made many transfer mistakes including not maintaining player transitions well. Chelsea still has 8 matches remaining, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham are their toughest opponents in the future.

And because Liverpool and Arsenal are the same on points, that will make the competition much fiercer for them in terms of winning trophies this season. Because I also still think there is one more team that Liverpool and Arsenal still have to take into account, namely Manchester City because that team is also only one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal. So the fight for the title for this season will continue to be fierce until the end of the season because the three still have points that are not much different.

Indeed, it is not a surprising result, but if you look at the number of attacks and shots on goal, Liverpool should have won the match.
Bruno Fernandez managed to make the score equal in the 50th minute and that happened because of a mistake made by Kelleher by going too far forward. The game was more dominated by Liverpool but the final finishing was still less accurate so they lost two points at home to Manchester United.

Liverpool's draw meant they failed to top the standings and currently they are on the same points as Arsenal.
Competition for the title will be even tighter because the three clubs are so close.

In this match I have already predicted Liverpool as a winning team because the way Man United is playing it is not possible for them to win the match with Liverpool but they played brilliantly and drew the match 2-2. Man United showed an excellent game in this match. I think most of the predictions didn't work in this match and many people lost their bets by betting on Liverpool as they thought it was an easy match. I myself am a victim of such group ha ha ha

I was not surprised that Liverpool could not beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in their Premier League match yesterday. This season, since Liverpool could not beat Manchester United in the Premier League and FA Cup, I knew they would find it difficult to beat Manchester United in the Premier League. Even though Liverpool drew with Manchester United, the Premier League title race is wide-open because Arsenal and Liverpool have the same points.

I wouldn't say Liverpool draw against Manchester United was unexpected. Liverpool were lucky that they didn't lose the 3 points entirely. Thanks to the late penalty that Aaron Wanbisaka conceded and Mohammed Salah converted the resulting spot kick. Had it not been for the penalty it would have been a different story by now. But that's now a thing of the past. The reality now is that city are closily following Arsenal and Liverpool and waiting for the perfect timing to climb top of the table. As things stands now, I will consider Manchester City as the favorite to win the league. They have played this chasing role last season and they succeeded, the pressure is on Arsenal who are also competing in the Champions league. The question is do Arsenal have enough squad dept? To to continue this charge to the end. The points difference are not much, that a draw will take you out of the top of the table. The big question is can Arsenal stay perfect till the end of the season?

Of course the trio owned by Liverpool at this time is still far below the quality when Salah, Mane and Firmino are Klopp's mainstays in front line of Liverpool, indeed actually the trio owned by Liverpool at this time is still quite good but in terms of sharpness it is still very lacking in my opinion, when Salah, Mane and Firmino play together they complement each other so they can be a real threat to the opponent's defense and we can see how Firmino and Mane can contribute a lot to Salah who at that time continued to be a top scoring contender, while this season Salah seems to have no chemistry with Nunez and Diaz who are often too selfish to pass the ball even when Salah is in an empty position, as well as Salah who is often too hasty to shoot when he is able to give the ball to other players who are more able to score.

I think at the moment Liverpool's attack is dangerous only when they are against a team that does have a weak defense,but when facing a solid team like Manchester United yesterday of course Liverpool' attackers looked groggy and not optimal in scoring, so far Nunez I think it has not been able to replace the role of Mane and of course Liverpool must be able to find another striker next season who Is able to open the opponent's defense,  In addition, it is reported that Salah will leave next season and of course Liverpool will have to work hard to find some ideal attackers for their to make mainstays next season.

Those Chelsea fans shouldn't get that kind of feelings. this is football, they won Manchester United in a game that had already ended in favour of Manchester United, the golden rule in football had to play in, which says it's not over until it's over.

Liverpool drew against Manchester United yesterday, I personally thought Manchester United had won that game, but before the final whistle, it ended 2-2.  Liverpool fans where bitter and excited at the same time with that game, because it was a game they needed to win to maintain their gap with arsenal, however it was looking as if they will lose the match, as it was 2-1 in favour of United even towards die minute, their dreams where shattered as they didn't see a lose against Manchester United coming, despite losing to them at the FA CUP,  so at some point they had to smile again as it end 2-2, though not the result they were yearning for but at least they got a point. Half bread 🥪🍞 they say is better than nothing.

Both times, Man United was not in good form, and their strength was damaged, so they were rated lower. But in this confrontation, if there had not been a penalty at the end of the match, Erik Ten Hag and his team could have won three points. Liverpool have to blame themselves because they wasted too many opportunities. Especially in the first half, the game was almost under the control of the army under Jurgen Klopp. Man United had to receive 28 shots on goal. Man United had an extremely lucky draw against Liverpool. Man United's playing style is crazy. I feel that Man United is far from returning to the good times after they quickly conceded goals from set pieces or individual mistakes.

You should wake up from this, which club did just said you are the best in the world? Go and check Chelsea world ranking by Fifa and then you can make a good conclusion about your position with Chelsea. A club that draw place with one of the worst club in the Premier League and you want to compare. Manchester united was won by Chelsea out of luck, if they are to reschedule that match, you guys will definitely suffer for it.


Is this about management or the players in particular, if you give all you have to Chelsea even with a good manager, you wouldn't get something good from them because look at it from this angle, Potter was change to Lampard, nothing came out and now Pochettino and yet nothing. The entire team need cleansing including Pochettino, a good replacement of the entire squad will be a good start.

Any team can make a mistake, and it’s hard for me to call Liverpool’s defense bad, if you look at how many goals they concede, you’ll see that their results are no worse than City’s, or even than Arsenal’s, it’s just that Manchester United is an inconvenient opponent for Klopp. And perhaps Liverpool were even lucky that Taylor put a penalty, which Salah was able to score, otherwise this defeat could have been a disaster for Liverpool. There are still 7 rounds left, this is not enough, but I doubt that the leaders will not lose points during this time, so nothing has been decided yet.

There are things you can't really learn from. When you look at the two goals that Manchester United scored with their first two attempts in the game, how are you defending against those goals? The first goal was insane. It was such a big mistake by the Liverpool defender and Fernandes did something that most other players probably wouldn't have tried. But this isn't something that Klopp could have prepared for. You don't prepare for passing mistakes like that and you don't tell your goalkeeper to stay on the line all the time because such a mistake could happen.

The second goal was brilliantly scored without a doubt. Maybe the defenders should have been closer to the goal scorer, but the execution was perfect and sometimes there isn't much a defender can do against that. Liverpool's biggest problem was their lack of efficiency. They had the chances and could have led with two goals, but instead kept it tight once again. That got punished in the end.

Liverpool attack is not the way it used to be in the era of Mane, Firmino and Sallah. Liverpool was very clinical upfront during the reign of this three guys but the present team creates so many chances but very irresponsible to convert the chances created. Nunez is very inconsistent and will cost Liverpool dearly. It very disappointing seeing Mo sallah playing so carelessly and missing a lot of chances while he created no chances.

The strikers were awful and the defending was also mediocre. Factually speaking, it's very bad to see a team competing for the tittle to have its defenders making such unfortunate crucial mistakes at the back. Liverpool next project should be on a getting a clinical strikers like Firmino and Mane because Jota alone is not sufficient for the task.

You know, in football you can hold possession for as much as you like, the stats may be in your favor but at the end of the day what matter is the three points and Liverpool failed to secure that and this leads me to believe that Man UTD is the only club strong enough to hold Liverpool down. In their first leg, it ended in a draw and this yesterday, the same results despite Jurgen Klopp's side being the better of two.
 Man UTD are currently going through a lot; from injured players to a somewhat imbalanced management to a coach who is under severe pressure, this a team that should not pose much threat to a team like Liverpool whose state is way better off.

Against Manchester United, Chelsea performed very well but against Sheffield they were unable to win. Well, inconsistent performance was shown again in last night's match and the Blues only drew against Sheffield with the same score of 2-2. The victory against Manchester United should have made them mentally stronger and built deeper self-confidence, but it seems they couldn't do well against a team that was much easier.

Even Chelsea had to accept the bitter reality after Sheffield managed to equalize in the 90+4 minute and at the same time buried Chelsea's hopes of stealing 3 points from Sheffield. Chelsea also failed to reduce points from several teams above them, even though they have the opportunity to take a place in European competition if they manage to beat Sheffield and continue their winning trend. However, if we look at all the teams in the EPL, only Chelsea have fewer matches so they still have a chance to do that until the end of the season.

To straighten things out a bit, Liverpool made 28 attempts but only 7 of them were on target, and 2 of them became goals (one of which was through the penalty spot). In fact, there was nothing wrong in Liverpool's game, they played well, it was just that several times they made mistakes in the back line which could not anticipate the movements of the Manchester United players so they had to receive 2 goals in this match.

This must be disappointing for them, because apart from having to draw, they also lost their position at the top of the standings which had to be taken over by Arsenal even though in terms of points they actually have the same points. However, they still had to lose their previous 2 points because in this match they couldn't get full points. I saw the look of disappointment on their coach's face, because maybe this was a result they really didn't want even though they could still get 1 point.

This result makes us even more curious about who will be champions in the Premier League, it's really interesting.

I watched the performance of Manchester United players against Liverpool in the FA Cup match. Manchester United played well enough and at the same time they were very lucky. Liverpool boss Klopp should have learned from the previous defeat.

Manchester United were very tactical in this match. In the first half, United played a completely defensive strategy and did not attempt any attacks. However, from the first minute of the second half, Manchester United started playing in an attacking strategy. They equalized in the 50th minute. And in the second half Liverpool players could not make any advantage. Liverpool's defense needs to be strengthened. If not, the team will lose points in the upcoming matches.

The Liverpool team managed to occupy the top spot in the table. Liverpool managed to occupy the top spot in the table due to City vs Arsenal draw. But the Liverpool team could not hold the top spot for long. Liverpool unexpectedly shared the points against Manchester United. And now the team has moved to second place in the table. The top spot in the table is now occupied by Arsenal.

City are only 1 point behind Arsenal. Arsenal and Liverpool are level on points. So there is still no way to say for sure which team will be the champions. All three teams have equal chances to win the championship.

If you want to win the title, you have to continue the winning streak. But the Premier League is very competitive. There are several strong teams here. So it is very difficult for Arsenal, Liverpool and City to win every match consistently. But I think we might see Arsenal as champions this season.

Unfortunately this season instability is Chelsea's main problem and the Sheffield match proved it. Chesley can play a great game against Manchester City and snatch a win at the very end of the game, or on the contrary, they can lose 3 points.
I agree with the fact that Pocchetino's substitutions were incomprehensible for everyone and it was unclear why Chelsea dropped into defense when Chelsea were leading the score and controlling the game.
Before this match, Pocchietino's work was not questionable and it was obvious that he was trying to give Chelsea a good game after last season's failure.
