What happened was the least expected from City and Guardiola, even stranger that it happened right after Guardiola signed a new contract with City. Now he himself says that he will understand if they find a replacement for him. It is definitely a very difficult end to the year, City have started to score little and their defense is not good enough to hold off their opponents. I think they will start talking about the dismissal if City fail to reach the Champions League playoffs.

Really far from expectations of how Manchester City is currently performing, I'm even confused to assume. especially if I read the points you said, I will quote it "even stranger that it happened right after Guardiola signed a new contract with City". this could be a wild assumption especially if added with cases that link City, even wilder if I try to think strangely. actually there are many points that I can review related to City and on several occasions ago I also discussed it a little, but anyway it's just my personal assumption so I won't discuss it again. what is certain, City is having a difficult time. not only is the team's performance messy, not to mention the cases they face waiting. if I may say, this season City is out of the competition for the trophy and maybe the same thing for the Champions League.

Manchester City has been out of form for a long time. This Premier League's best team has been performing poorly consistently. Such a performance was not expected from a strong team like City. And even an experienced coach like Guardiola is not able to find the problem of Manchester City. However, I would say that Manchester City's main problem at the moment is the poor performance of their defenders. I believe that if the defenders can play well, Manchester City's performance will stabilize. Because in the past several matches, we have seen that Manchester City's defense is very weak. Manchester City conceded a goal in just 16 minutes in today's match. And City conceded another goal at the beginning of the second half and fell behind 2-0. City could not make a comeback after being behind 2-0.

Arsenal is not in a very good form. Arsenal have failed to win against Fulham and Everton in their last two matches. Both matches have been drawn. Despite the weak opponents, Arsenal have failed to win. I doubt whether Arsenal will be able to win against Crystal Palace in today's match. I know that Crystal Palace is not a strong team. Even so, today's match is Palace's home match. Crystal Palace players will definitely be confident in a home match today.

We saw three goals in just 15 minutes. Arsenal took the lead in just 6 minutes of the match with Jesus' goal. But in the 11th minute. Ismaila Sarr was able to equalize the match. But in the 14th minute of the match, Jesus scored his second goal and Arsenal are now 2-1 ahead. We will probably see more goals in today's match. Both teams are playing in an attacking strategy.

Even though Arsenal leads with that score and also, Arsenal with better ball possession, but in reality Crystal Palace still managed to have better goal attempts and also Crystal Palace has good shots on target so far. Thus, of course Crystal Palace has a good effort not to lose at home but even so, it seems that I personally am still confident that Arsenal still has a chance to win. Because I think, the good head to head record might still continue for Arsenal for the final result in this match. But it seems, Arsenal's task will not be easy to maintain this victory, because Bukayo Saka is injured and a substitution was made with Leandro Trossard coming on to replace Bukayo Saka.

Crystal palace always act as a threat for most of the big teams in the league and am sure they will definitely give arsenal a run for their money. So far the game seems all tensed up with so many attempts from both side but saka coming off will definitely dent the attacking strength of arsenal and if care is not taken then crystal palace might get right back in the game by getting an equalizer in the second half.

Arsenal do not want to lose points in today's match. Arsenal have lost to two weak opponents in the last two matches. So Arsenal players are trying their best to get 3 points in today's match. And probably Arsenal will be able to win against Crystal Palace by a big margin today. Crystal Palace is not able to make any advantage today despite playing well enough

Jesus scored two goals in just 14 minutes. Kai Hervertez gave Arsenal a 3-1 lead in the 38th minute. Arsenal is leading 3-1 at the end of the first half. Arsenal's defenders' performance is also quite good today. Crystal Palace players were able to make several strong attacks. But Arsenal players repelled every attack.

Haaland is now no longer scoring goals, he used to be very productive in goals when his team was down and all the players had a setback, for me it is clear that Pep Guardiola has lost the expert in his strategy easily read by the opponent.

Can't say anything now except to see a series of defeats and this defeat is a bit surprising again because usually big teams after losing a few times will win but for Manchester City this team has no chemistry with its players.

Man City played not without chances, but their game did decline very far. I also agree that Man City's current problem is not because of Rodri and De Bruyne. Rodri is reported to have made good progress in his recovery process. De Bruyne does not look as good as before he recovered from injury.
There is something strange about Man City's current performance, Pep may be under pressure regarding his players' performance. Not to mention there are rumors regarding De Bruyne's problem with Pep, hopefully, it is not a serious problem and they can play better even though the League situation may not be favorable enough for them.

What is clear in this match is that Aston Villa can win because they play well, effectively and can take advantage of Man City's current condition which is in a situation of minus confidence. In addition, Man City's game is indeed chaotic, especially since Gvardiol's players are always in the striker position, he always moves forward (it seems that Pep's game plan is to advance Gvardiol in the attacking third) even though their defense is bad.

So if you look at Man City currently based on the number of matches lost and their position in the league standings, Man City is still sleeping, they will not be able to rise. So it seems that Man City is no longer in the title race.

Agree. Lately, Man City's performance has been very strange. Maybe Pep is under pressure or the players just want their coach to be fired, maybe the coach made mistakes to some players and they chose to play badly so that the coach could be fired. This is just a personal opinion.

As I mentioned in the previous matchday, it seems like Man City might lose again. Although the match isn't over yet, the current score is 1-0 and the odds are now in favor of Aston Villa. The question now is, can Man City do what Man United did to them in the last game, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 1-2 win in the end?

I think Man City will lose the game because not only is their poor performance, but they seem to be lacking confidence. Unlike Man United, they can turn things around because they have that motivation and confidence, and the most important thing is that they are willing to try as hard as they can (something Man City didn't have at the moment). Besides that, Aston Villa will certainly try to defend their lead, so it will not be easy for Man City to just score a goal.

They have lost already the game ends 2-1. Manchester City's failure to win consecutive games is a major disappointment for Guadiola this season, and it's time for the club to make a decision and hire a new coach because they can't keep up with the pace of the season. anymore, they need to make a serious change in the team. Guadiola as be performing weak since rodri went to injured, I don't know when Manchester City will achieve three point now losing back to back in all competitions what a big shame for a bug club like Manchester City no one will be that Guadiola performance will end bad this season.

I believe they have lost nearly nine matches in all competitions and just won one against Nottingham Forest. Let's see what happens in the league if they can try to qualify for the next UCL because the way they're playing, any club they meet will lose to them; look how Aston Villa performed very well against Manchester City, haaland is just running around the pitch, not getting enough chances to shoot, and there's no space. Their next game will be against Leicester, and we'll see whether they can get and win. Leicester is playing at home, and they can make it difficult for Guadiola to win the match.

It has turned out to be that, Manchester City has become a club that other clubs get their 3 points from, easily. Any club that meets them, is now sure to win them. You can imagine how bad it seems for Manchester City to arrive in such a situation, from being a tough club to a weak club. Nobody anticipated a day like this would come when Manchester City would perform below expectations, but not for Pep Guardiola to be sacked anyway. Let's see whether Manchester City will break the yoke of loss match when they face Leicester next or if their loss match continues.

It was not expected that a team like Manchester City would lose a match like this against a team like Aston Villa. Manchester City were 2-0 down late in the game and when the 90 minutes were up I was pretty sure Manchester City would lose the match 2-0 but they could have scored a goal in 3 minutes of extra time and the match would have ended 2-1. in goal This match was very important for them. Manchester City fell further behind in the points table. Manchester City cannot win this series by competing with Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool are currently playing a match in this match they will win 1-0 which will give them 3 more points.

I mean Liverpool beating Tottenham shouldn't really be a shocker, we can see how that would be a possibility and I wouldn't be shocked about it, after all we are seeing the best team in the league right now, going against the 10th of the same league, so it would make sense for Liverpool to have an easy win there, nobody expects anything different there.

I can see Arne Slot getting back to winning ways, they had two ties in a row recently, wasn't good for their title chances, so they will want to get back on winning and this game looks like it will be easy enough to get that win. Of course we can never guarantee anything in football, but we can't keep fearing underdogs to win when betting, sometimes we need to bet with confidence.

Has the Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur match started? So, do you think Liverpool will win?

The Premier League always throws up surprises, and position is not a measure of how a match will end. We have seen the bottom teams come close to stopping the top teams on several occasions. And Liverpool are not playing well at the moment, they have only managed to draw against the teams below them, and when they have won, they have only managed to win by a narrow margin. Liverpool's consistency is currently shaky. While Spurs are a team that has just recovered from a series of defeats, so they may have enough motivation and confidence to be able to beat Liverpool in this match.

In my opinion Liverpool is still in good form and getting several draws compared to many wins does not mean Liverpool is not good, Liverpool's tight match schedule may make their players a little tired but they are still great and always launch aggressive attacks on every opponent and only a few draws in my opinion does not mean they are not good and that is normal as long as they do not get consecutive defeats.

And regarding Liverpool will face Tottenham at home I think Liverpool will be fine and I am sure they will definitely win this match to maintain a two-point distance with Chelsea if Chelsea can win the match against Everton, and besides that according to the news there are several Tottenham core players who are injured and this is an opportunity for Liverpool to win this match, and also Liverpool has one postponed match which I think Liverpool will maintain their consistency to stay at the top of the standings.

I think Liverpool will beat Tottenham. Tottenham cannot play at a high tempo every match and Liverpool will push Tottenham with their tempo and beat them. I think Liverpool's draws did not affect the team very badly because big teams do not have the chance to win every match. Every team can lose points and Liverpool lost points with draws but now is the time to recover. Beating a team like Tottenham will both boost Liverpool's morale and give them an important 3 points in the league race.

The fact that the teams are close to each other in the Premier League standings increases the quality of the league and makes the matches more enjoyable. This match will also be a very enjoyable match.

Unfortunately Man City did not show their revival in this match, they had to go home without bringing a single point at Aston Villa's home and this defeat further added to the record of bad results they obtained, besides that in this match Pep looked very frustrated on the sidelines when he saw his squad could not penetrate the solid defense of Aston Villa, maybe for now we should not expect much because Man City will not be able to recover quickly, I think it's time for management to plan to find a replacement for Pep for next season.

What happened was the least expected from City and Guardiola, even stranger that it happened right after Guardiola signed a new contract with City. Now he himself says that he will understand if they find a replacement for him. It is definitely a very difficult end to the year, City have started to score little and their defense is not good enough to hold off their opponents. I think they will start talking about the dismissal if City fail to reach the Champions League playoffs.

Aston Villa have a great series of games at home without defeat they have not lost since 2021, when the coach seems to be still Gerrard, but still I also thought that City should win, and the odds on the victory of City before the match was about 2, and on Aston Villa 3.3 and you can say that even bookmakers saw City as the favorite.

Of course the game shows City lately is a nightmare, Haaland doesn't play at all and for the last six matches he scored only one goal and City lost 9 out of 12 matches. Apparently Guardiola's time at City is over and he should have left last season when City were at their peak, but now it seems that the players are tired of Guardiola and just don't want to play and are trying to lose as many matches as possible.

I don't really know what is going on with Manchester City. Despite the quality players they have, they are finding it difficult to win games over the past few weeks. If I have to say, the players Manchester City used today are good enough to win a league. I don't think it's because of Rodri and De Bruyne that Manchester City's performance has dropped so badly like this.

The painful part is that Manchester City is always in control of ball possession, but creating good chances to score is something they are unable to do. Also, I don't understand why Manchester City's defensive line is so weak, unlike the players they used before.At this point, Guardiola is already frustrated because he doesn't know when the issue will be resolved. It's getting out of Guardiola's hands.

Not only the coach is frustrated, but all the players feel it too. Their mentality has been damaged and their fighting power is not that good, so this problem is increasingly complex when Pep Guardiola does not have the best solution to change the situation. Pep Guardiola would probably have brought in several players had he not resigned or been sacked, so that is a solution that Manchester City may be considering while the transfer window is active.

The main players played this season are not much different compared to last season, but their performance has completely changed. Foden lost his sharpness even though today he scored his first goal after 12 matches. Haaland has also not been able to score more goals so far and this will see him ousted from the top of the top scorer standings if Salah scores 1 goal in the next match. I also don't know when this will be finished, but what is clear is that they have to forget about the title this season.

sacking of pep is out of the question here presently the way they find them self am someone who feels that Manchester City is just undergoing a stage under pep because they have dominated the league for about three years now so it's only natural that they experience something like this as no champion will reign for ever so with time they will get their form back and get back to wining ways

I don't think Manchester City management will sack Pep Guardiola at this moment. City management will not decide to sack Guardiola this season. Manchester City will give Guardiola more time and opportunities. I think City management will provide Guardiola with big funds in the next winter transfer window. And maybe Guardiola is going to make big changes inside Manchester City squad.

Haaland is not in very good form this season. Even Manchester City does not have a suitable replacement for Haaland. In the last few matches we have seen poor performance of Manchester City defenders. Manchester City conceded 4 goals against Tottenham. Manchester City has conceded two goals in each of their last four matches. Right now Guardiola should take steps to strengthen City's defense.

We do not know the reason for such poor performance of City. Guardiola is probably still searching for the reason behind City's poor performance. However, I think City's overall performance will improve if their defense and midfield become a bit more stable.

These things should be expected because we still see the same players playing for the team and nothing has changed in Pep Guardiola's style. Am not surprised that they lost today. To be sincere I bet on Aston Villa to win the game in today's match. For real Pep gets new players by January to assist the team or he should completely form being the manager of Manchester City.

In football, the tables turn. Good and bad seasons affect all clubs. Mancehster City is not exempted. This is their time to experience downfall doesn't mean it will last forever. One or two improvements on the team will make a lot of changes.

Unfortunately Man City did not show their revival in this match, they had to go home without bringing a single point at Aston Villa's home and this defeat further added to the record of bad results they obtained, besides that in this match Pep looked very frustrated on the sidelines when he saw his squad could not penetrate the solid defense of Aston Villa, maybe for now we should not expect much because Man City will not be able to recover quickly, I think it's time for management to plan to find a replacement for Pep for next season.

I don't really know what is going on with Manchester City. Despite the quality players they have, they are finding it difficult to win games over the past few weeks. If I have to say, the players Manchester City used today are good enough to win a league. I don't think it's because of Rodri and De Bruyne that Manchester City's performance has dropped so badly like this.

The painful part is that Manchester City is always in control of ball possession, but creating good chances to score is something they are unable to do. Also, I don't understand why Manchester City's defensive line is so weak, unlike the players they used before.At this point, Guardiola is already frustrated because he doesn't know when the issue will be resolved. It's getting out of Guardiola's hands.

What happened was the least expected from City and Guardiola, even stranger that it happened right after Guardiola signed a new contract with City. Now he himself says that he will understand if they find a replacement for him. It is definitely a very difficult end to the year, City have started to score little and their defense is not good enough to hold off their opponents. I think they will start talking about the dismissal if City fail to reach the Champions League playoffs.

To be honest nobody expected such performance from Pep Guardiola and his men but sadly we're just seeing them expressing a surprisingly difficult spare.

When all this all started I thought they would easily get back to their best but now it's unlikely maybe during this January transfer window when they strengthen their squad. But getting Rodri replacement and some other players will not really change anything based on how the team are currently performing except Pep finds a way of getting his men confidence back.

Although, it's somehow cool for me seeing Manchester City fall off this big, since after all their fans often have nothing to worry about but now they really do and I think they will continue to back Pep may be till like February if nothing changes.

I mean Liverpool beating Tottenham shouldn't really be a shocker, we can see how that would be a possibility and I wouldn't be shocked about it, after all we are seeing the best team in the league right now, going against the 10th of the same league, so it would make sense for Liverpool to have an easy win there, nobody expects anything different there.

I can see Arne Slot getting back to winning ways, they had two ties in a row recently, wasn't good for their title chances, so they will want to get back on winning and this game looks like it will be easy enough to get that win. Of course we can never guarantee anything in football, but we can't keep fearing underdogs to win when betting, sometimes we need to bet with confidence.

Has the Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur match started? So, do you think Liverpool will win?

The Premier League always throws up surprises, and position is not a measure of how a match will end. We have seen the bottom teams come close to stopping the top teams on several occasions. And Liverpool are not playing well at the moment, they have only managed to draw against the teams below them, and when they have won, they have only managed to win by a narrow margin. Liverpool's consistency is currently shaky. While Spurs are a team that has just recovered from a series of defeats, so they may have enough motivation and confidence to be able to beat Liverpool in this match.
