Arne Slot really proved that he was the right person to replace Klopp. In his first season, Liverpool played very consistently, their performance has increased, not only in the EPL but also in the UCL. Even in this EPL, they have only lost once, and most of them are wins. Although the points difference is not too far from Chelsea as the runner-up, we can see that Liverpool is very consistent in remaining at the top of the standings.

In this match, Salah played around 84 minutes. and his contribution was:
- 2 goals,
- 2 assists,
- 7 shots

Don't you think Spurs lack players that can make the team become one of the contenders for the title, squad depth is disturbing Spurs. They need better players to help them in any way they would like to go to compete for trophies and is like the owners are just stingy to spend money to get quality players but they want the club to go far as to winning titles. With how Tottenham have been for years till this very moment I don't think they have done anything new since Kane left the side and they don't even have a playing pattern talk less of the players, this club can never attract world class players and I think something need to be done from inside before we can talk about Spurs competing with the other top clubs.

Salah could be playing the best season of his career if he keeps scoring like that. He is now at 15 goals in 16 games, which is roughly 93 minutes per game as the stats say. His record was in 2017/18, so long ago, but in that season he scored 32 goals. Chances are good that he is going to beat that one. Maybe he has a chance to become the next Ballon d'Or winner? If he wins titles I think he can do it. Haaland is probably out of the game for that award unless Manchester City changes big time.

It is rather difficult to describe how Tottenham plays this season as we see sometimes they play aggressively against strong teams but overall their game is unstable and the most highlight is the weaker defense side 25 goals conceded in 17 matches is proof that an increase is needed in defense. If this situation continues then next season we will not see Tottenham playing in the European League I mean they are not able to compete in top 6.

Massive credits to slots. Coming to the English premier league, and dominating as if he has been incharge for long. I watched the second half of the game, and I could picture both Klopps style of play (which is a counter), and also a possession style of play. The most interesting part is that Liverpool has a very agile attack, midfield and defense. No one is that sloppy, because we often find the players on their toes at all times. They perform the attack together, and also defend together. That surely a good team spirit that not all club possess.

The game today was so interesting. A 9 goals thriller at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, as Liverpool took all 3 points. From how spurs has been playing and the type of players they have, I think they can compete well under good manager. Not sure if the current manager can do the job, because to me, they have a very good squad and depth as well even though injury has been troubling.

As for Chelsea, they missed the ticket to actually climb further. We saw Arsenal sharing points with this same Everton, and we thought that they just lacked that consistency, but little do we know that low block football can be very difficult to break most times. Maybe Liverpool would have played same thing, but their fixture was later cancelled about 2 weeks ago.

And as for Manchester united, it's not looking good for them in anyway. Bournemouth as been very brilliant this season, but they shouldn't be lossing like this at home. And I think Amorim needs to step a little back from the media, and focus more on how to improve his players. The English Media just keep getting news from him, while he still has his dressing room to sort out. He needs to be aware that Manchester united is a very big club. Fine, I agree that he doesn't have to hit the ground running like slot, but there are some games that he shouldn't even be losing, especially at their fortress. I know some united fans might not want to hear this, but their next 3 games for this year might land them very close to the relegation zone if they fail to win.

The thing with Man UTD is that they have the ability to turn things around in their favor and a coach that will help them but it's as if they're afraid. I watched the game today and it was obvious that they were putting in the effort to get back in the game but it was as if after the first goal came in, they forgot about their defense and were more focused on getting even and with how Bournemouth are fairly good with counterattacks, that negligence in the defense was dealt with.
 Another thing Ruben Amorim should note is United aren't a club that would give you all the time you need to brush the team up, all they want is to start seeing results already especially if they heard of how good you were as a coach in your former club.
People will say that Man UTD could beat Man City but were useless against Bournemouth but I'd say they are a work in progress that needs time. How much time is what we don't know yet.

Liverpool continues without a loss. They seem to be locked in the championship. Arne Slot has done a great job in his first year. Salah continues to play brilliantly. Six goals against Tottenham away is a great achievement.
Manchester United continue to lose. It's another achievement to get into the opposition penalty area so much and not score. Bournemouth goalkeeper Kepa played brilliantly.
Chelsea missed an opportunity by drawing with Everton. Liverpool are starting to open the gap. Arsenal and Chelsea are following a little behind. City, on the other hand, proved that they have no claim this season. Liverpool also have the psychological advantage. They play like they're never going to lose.

Manchester United this season have been very inconsistent prior to the arrival of their current manager Ruben Amorim so I'm not too surprised that their defeat today against Bournemouth left them in a position that's worse than they've ever been at this time of the season.
Ruben Amorim's record in the few games he's managed the team isn't encouraging enough if you ask me but the fact that he's an experienced manager who's succeeded in a club with lower quality of players than Manchester United I think suggests he's very capable of helping them return back to top form again

And Liverpool is really in there season because how will they be winning 6:3 and we know how Tottenham can be somtimes but see how everything went well, Liverpool just changed all of a sudden and they have been doing very well this season and this was suppose to be the season thay arsenal will shine but it is now looking as if we are not moving forward it is now as if we are just moving in circles and it is not looking good for our club and arteta need a new attacker to actually support saka because without support his performance is looking very down and we far from Liverpool point.

With what is on the table Liverpool have 39 points we know that we can not be jumping into conclusions but there is still hope if arteta can do the right thing and the problem now is that they are actually gaining more points and with the kind of confidence they are gaining it will take more energy to be able to actually defeat them or if they start losing for but I don't think that will happen now any time soon so there is no need to actually worry about them.

Tottenham needs to improve, there is no shame to loose to Liverpool who are very good this season, the shame is by the number of goals they have lost by. Tottenham need to upgrade the way they play because their pattern of not trying to change or make changes by the coach is not helping them especially in top games. Really poor performance from Tottenham even though they were the home team.

For the first time after over two decades Manchester United suffers a loss of 0-3 three days ro Christmas (lol) and the position t hey occupied now, they haven't occupied it around this period for over two decades now, although they did occupied that position at some point last season but it wasn't in the last month of the year close to Christmas, it may not be a really solid historic record in football but then it just tells that Manchester United has got a whole lot of work to do on their players as it's beginning to feel like it's almost same thing as when they did had ten hag as the manager the only noticable difference now is in their tactics but there's still lot of hope for improvement for Manchester United and they sre sure to improve probably by nextyesr.

There is still time for Gardiola to make up for the points loss and that's going to be by January transfer window when he gets in new quality players to support and elevate the team from this streaks of losses in almost every game. It's a hard time but City are going to sail through and if they're unable to get back to the top of the table at least they will secure a place in the top four because I don't see Nottingham forest staying beyond January in that third position they currently occupies.

The Tottenham Hotspurs goalkeeper did helped Liverpool iin increasing their goals in this game. Some of the gaols scored were balls a good keeper should save from getting behind the net but it seem the Tottenham goalie was just a short one for Hotspur that even when they scored 1:2 in the first half I was hope to see the scores tie in the second half but Tottenham's goalie wasn't just helpful in anyway.

I find this season very weird, and exactly what is happening now with the Premier League, especially today’s matches, where dominance didn’t guarantee wins, and the opposite happened too.
Manchester United continues to struggle this season by losing only. Personally, I sill believe in my head that Ronaldo's departure and the clubs failure to address his complaints about outdated facilities their performance has been in decline.

 We witnessed a 3-0 loss easily to Bournemouth at home highlights and show well their challenges. Meanwhile, Liverpool is in top form, as shown by their 6-3 win over Tottenham, keeping them at the top of the table. This season is unpredictability is both exciting and concerning especially for clubs like Manchester United battling internal issues and inconsistent results every season.

Very surprising to me mate. And did you know that I was seriously angry against Arsenal last week when they failed to win Everton? But today it was so obvious that Everton has improved on their defense. It's nearly impossible to score Everton these days and I like it. Since they are not that good at scoring goals at the front then their defenders should be prepared to not concede goals.

Anyway, their game today against Chelsea was really impressive. They did not only defend effectively they made more goal opportunities against Chelsea only bad luck was on their side as not even a goal was marked.

Regarding their next fixture against Manchester City, I am expecting them to take the lead in that game. City is not a string team anymore. Let me not be quick to make conclusions here but i am speculating that Everton will win Manchester City.

If there ever was a time for an underdog to beat Manchester City, then it is now. Manchester City is lacking all the confidence and their trust in themselves is like zero.

But the point they now won against Chelsea was the product of some luck as well. Chelsea should have won that game for sure and Everton managed to get away with it.

Every time I now have a look at the Premier League table, it is getting crazier. Who would have thought that you now have to search for Manchester City going further and further down?

If you can beat them for three points, make sure you have a point from them at the end of the match. Maybe that's what Everton has decided to do, in all three tough matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City. They have succeeded in drawing two out of the three matches to play. Let's see whether they will have a win or draw to Manchester City in the same way they had against Arsenal and Chelsea.

It will be somehow if Manchester City end up with a draw match to Everton at Etihad. I predict that Manchester City will break into Everton's defense with one or two goals.

The main issue Tottenham had in that game is the defense aside from that they're good in all positions but that doesn't change the fact that Liverpool came with so much fire power in the second half. It became too hot for Ange Postecoglou's men that they could not hold the ball for long. There is a lot of work to be done in that Spurs squad and I don't know how they're going to manage in the remaining games with some players out of the game. It would be bad to see Tottenham finish below any spot to qualify for any Europe competition. The team is good but not good enough to face Liverpool who are desperate to continue their lead on the table.

Not that I am undermining any club but just like Manchester city there will be clubs that will definitely fall into this moment of struggle, for this current Manchester city team and I can boldly say that any club will definitely be able to beat them and seriously Everton is excluded. Everton managed to play a back to back draw against the title contenders to me this is something they have been doing lately, they frustrate their opponents just like last season when they ended Liverpool title hopes with a win, they managed this season to neutralize the corner kick routines of arsenal and today the Sean Dyche boys produce another brilliant performance against Chelsea, a game I think if they had managed to convert their chances they would probably have won. So if they can put in this form against city then i see them going with points too

Although a team like Everton were able to get a point from Arsenal and also achieve a similar result in today's draw against Chelsea, it seems unlikely that Everton can be able to achieve a greater feat or replicate such performance against Manchester City even considering Manchester city's recent dip form in the Premier League. Manchester City is like a wounded lion, they may be down but are still very deadly.  

Rhia is yet another epic result I have seen this season, it was a game of superiority and some hope crumbing at some point, the Spurs were made to think they were going to be able to get some hope and will be able to see a chance at a draw but interestingly they were only given the opportunity to have some goals but not anywhere close to the visiting team, this point I can boldly say that Liverpool has got the domineering strength this season, they have continually boarding the gap to the title as against other contender, it will be very safe to say that slot didn't let down the legacies of klopand so far it keeps getting even better than it has ever been much before now.
