Though I never expected Chelsea to win this game from the start, but during the cause of the game, I felt like Chelsea have more chances of winning than man city, so to me their wastefulness in front of goal cost them the 3 point.
The goal chances Chelsea lost against Manchester City, if they had utilized those chances, Chelsea would have gone home with the 3 points. It is so pitiful that they miss those golden chances to score more than two goals.
Chelsea put many of us in awe at their performance. Almost everyone's prediction was a win for Manchester City since the match was at Etihad and Manchester had the best form than Chelsea.
Manchester City couldn't believe with their eyes that Chelsea would hold them to a draw and also deny them of the continuation of the top position of the PL table.

I don't know where you saw Chelsea have more opportunities to score, because they were smothered the whole match, they had the ball for very little time and the fact that they drew and almost won this match is a great luck, because Manchester City is capable of much more. Nevertheless, even a draw does not save Chelsea's position, they are still on the verge of the top-10, while for Manchester City this draw is a terrible result

Erik Ten Hag is a bad coach, Erik Ten Hag should be sacked,  Erik Ten Hag will not be the coach to win Manchester United the Premier League. Lol.
All of these folks raining words here are now so silent? The Dutchman might have his own personal ideas and issues but he has never been the problem for Manchester United.
Its the month of February without a fckkn lose for Manchester United. Come Next Week, they'll also be against Fulham which should be another game to grab three points at Old Trafford.

And Props to Rasmus Hojlund, Did I not say he'll score goals? These Manchester United fans wants change but has got no patience? It's always on the bad before it gets to the good.
Lots to say but, I'll be gone now. Lol.
In as much as some of the critics who criticized Erik ten Hag during the time Manchester United were underperforming were too harsh with their criticisms, we mustn't shy away from the fact that it's absolutely normal to criticize managers whenever their teams aren't living up to expectations. I'm not a Manchester United fan but I was among those who constructively criticized their manager during their very poor start to the season especially after the club failed to progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League and was still not able to qualify to play in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League competition because they finished in the bottom of the group.
Now that Manchester United have been performing well, I also think it's good to give him all the accolades he deserves for improving the performance and form of the club.

Many opportunities were wasted and Manchester United won quite convincingly at home to Luton today. Seeing Manchester United so consistent is very pleasing and they have succeeded in getting this team back on the right path. Luton could have equalized but unfortunately they could only reply with one goal. Hojlund again showed his quality by scoring 2 goals for the Red Devils to win.

But at least, I think it is also possible that the opponents faced by Manchester United lately are teams that have decreased in performance and therefore, Manchester United managed to get a winning streak at this moment. But indeed, regarding the wins that Manchester United have gotten lately at least Hojlund has always managed to score goals and make a good contribution to the team of course. With these factors then yes, at least I also consider that Manchester United managed to recover at this moment and with this good recovery, currently Manchester United only have a 3-point gap with Tottenham who are in fifth position. With a gap that becomes close like this then yes, of course, reopening the chance for Manchester United to be able to enter the top five, maybe it can still happen.

Chelsea showed a different performance in the match versus Manchester City yesterday, Pochettino squad managed to play effectively even though they didn't dominate possession of the ball. Rahem Sterling even managed to put Chelsea ahead in the first half, and luckily Rodri managed to equalize at the end of the second half. This draw meant that Manchester City failed to take over the top of the standings from Liverpool, although they were later able to finish the postponed match versus Brentford by securing full points.

There were many opportunities that failed to be converted into goals, and indeed the match was very entertaining for fans because it was played with high intensity and attacks were traded. Arsenal has now moved up to second place temporarily, and Liverpool is the lucky club because it is still leading the standings. On the other hand, even though Jurgen Klopp squad is at the top, they are not completely safe, because their point difference with rival clubs is very thin.

Manchester United was fortunate to grab significant points from Luton Town. They came for the winning points and they successfully achieved their target, though it comes with hefty hardwork and defensive strategies from the players and Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United players did make actual errors but with defensive backup, they redeemed themselves and points out victory. They kove an ede on the EPL table and they now aim for the top four this season. Rasmus Højlund is the man of the match because he netted a brace in the early minutes of the game.

Yep Manutd defend well in the 2nd half, but if the opponent is other big teams - Im not sure Manutd able to hold like that.
But still, its a sign of progress and Manutd is far more better than last year. The incoming of Sir Jim Ratcliffe" really bring positive energy for Manutd.
Manchester United where not too impressive that first half, just that the goal they scored gave them some edge. Luton town played very well but just that they had hardluck. I was even surprised to see rose Barkley playing for Luton town, he is one of the good player that has been around the premier League for quite some time, he was more like the few experience player they had.
Radford and Bruno Fernandez wasted a lot of chance too for Manchester United, however I was impressed with Luton town performance because they were the underdog anf they played impressively no matter that they lost the match.

The result Man City vs Chelsea draw was well utilized by Arsenal. Currently they are able to be number two in the temporary rankings. Arsenal beat Burnley 5-0 and I saw Bukayo Saka perform very well. He managed to make 2 goals and became Man of the Match. Even if you look at the statistics in 2024, Bukayo Saka has played 5 times with 6 goals scored. Although it's not the end, at least ARsenal has proven again that they are one of the potential EPL champions.
Arsenal and Liverpool only made the most of their respective matches to win, while Manchester City gave them an advantage after failing to win their match against Chelsea the day after Arsenal and Liverpool won. Of course Manchester City didn't want to lose this opportunity to make their plans to lead the standings fail, but unfortunately Chelsea succeeded with their defensive game scheme.

Now, if Manchester City manages to win the postponed match against Brentford then the points gap between the top 3 teams will only be 1 each. Liverpool still leads 1 point ahead of Manchester City, as well as Manchester City and Arsenal. The pressure between the teams is increasing, it will be a very interesting season.

There is really a silver lining for Manchester United considering their last performances.  Smiley  This is their 4th win in a row in the Premier League. Hojlund is in a great form recently which is also a huge help for the team. He has finally started to prove his skills here as well. Otherwise he was already doing very good in the Champions League before.

Finishing in top 4 isn't a dream for them mathematically. But it won't be an easy task surely. They will need to keep this up while hoping for Tottenham and Aston Villa both losing points. There are still 13 more weeks for the end of the season.

I watch that match from start to finish and most of the pundit and even you guys are busy talking about the missed opportunity by haland, no body have talked about the wastefulness of the Chelsea team, especially Jackson and how the game would have been over even before man city start building momentum in their attacking play.

Though I never expected Chelsea to win this game from the start, but during the cause of the game, I felt like Chelsea have more chances of winning than man city, so to me their wastefulness in front of goal cost them the 3 point.

We have seen how Haaland has helped his team this season by scoring a lot of goals. However, in my opinion, we shouldn't blame him for the opportunities he missed over in their match against Chelsea. If any players in that game deserve the blame, it should be Jackson and Sterling. Nicolas Jackson's spoil the one on one he has with the Manchester City goalkeeper, i thought he will even score the goal. If Pochettino wants more goals, he should continue using Nkunku as a striker instead of Jackson, who didn't deserve to play the position. Sterling took advantage of one of his opportunities to score, and I don't think he should keep using Jackson as a striker to continue losing their chances of scoring goals.

The Chelsea players should take advantage of the chances they have missed, and I think they will return home with three points. Everyone expected that the outcome of this second game would be different because Manchester City would be hosting Chelsea, which would allow Manchester City to make it through and get three points. However, the game didn't turn out the way we expected.

Chelsea has really performed well against Manchester City to actually get 1 point from this match. yes, I definitely agree that football is full of surprises. Nobody expected Chelsea to actually get 1 point from this match. But they got it and it was definitely surprising.

No, I highly doubt that Chelsea will actually be able to continue performing well even though this one point should give them a lot of confidence. In my opinion, Chelsea has been a team that is really inconsistent. So it is really hard to trust them with anything. Even though they have been able to get one point from this match, there is a huge possibility that they will lose the next match again regardless of which opponent they play. But the next match in the English Premier League is against Brentford. So there is definitely a chance for Chelsea to win. But again as I said they are inconsistent.
I wasn't surprised at Chelsea's performance yesterday, Chelsea Plays well against Manchester city right from time. I told my friends earlier that Chelsea wouldn't lose that match and Chelsea proved me right, although Chelsea lost a lot of useful chances that would've seen that Manchester city was defeated properly, but they didn't convert it, Haaland lost two very good opportunities to equalize the goal and put city ahead, but he lost it. Enzo and Nkunku did the same too. The two  teams had good opportunities, but wasted it.  City fought hard for the equalizer and was lucky enough to get the deflection from Dasisi to get back on level terms.

The game was very competitive and entertaining, both teams played really well and shared the points. Very good performance from both teams

Guys, the match brighton vs sheffield has already started.

Brighton shows usual performance and it puts ball possession as the main target to be achieved. De zerbi seems never try to change his strategy to be on point strategy. The ball possession strategy seems an old strategy. Sheffield may able to win against brighton as long as it will always implement defensive strategy.
Playing low block becomes the key point to get three points from brighton. Brighton is always owning the ball but it never makes proper attack. Sheffield can always wait for the golden moment to happen.

Brighton's strategy is very monoton. This club keeps to use the same strategy since last season. Im only wondering whether zerbi never feels bored to keep use same strategy anytime. The situation is always the same. More than 10 minutes wasted to see brighton did backpass.
This club played shitty ball. No doubt that it can be beaten by the big club easily. Brighton's strategy can be predicted easily. This is the main problem that must be solved by zerbi. Things are different after its players were scoring two goals.

Sheffield can't keep up against brighton with its low quality defenders. Brighton will get three points in this game. it's hard for sheffield to equalize the score since brighton is always owning the ball.
Well unfortunately the match has ended and Brighton have used this their old strategy to out Sheffield United. Sheffield United are now officially the worst club in the EPL as they’ve conceded crazy amount of goals. This style might seem old but against a weak team like Sheffield, it’s an old style of play that’s sure to deliver. I think the coach of Brighton should try to improve on his style of play because against bigger teams who’re more organized, they’ll sure oust this Brighton side.

 Football requires dynamics and as so there must be change in the tactics applied by the coach because most times a club get used to the tactics usually used and find a perfect way to counter the tactics. Brighton is building up and now they must try to adapt to different systems and style of they want to flourish especially in a competitive league like the EPL.

Manchester United without doubt was impressive against Luton Town in their English Premier League game this afternoon but considering their performance in the game, I expected them to win the game with a wider margin than but was surprised to see them waste so many clear chances in the game.
Rasmund Hojlund I think have finally found his form at the club and if he can continue with his current goal scoring form, he might be fighting for the golden boot award with other top strikers in the league.
Again, Manchester United manager who was heavily criticized at the start of the season because of the club's poor start to the season deserves to  be praised for improving the performance and results of the club in recent games. The Dutch manager seems like he's finally found the club's best playing pattern and it's really helping them at the moment

What an early goal for Manchester united as Hojiluud scored the first goal in the match on the 1st minutes of the game, due to the error made by Luton defender. It will take Luton a lot to correct that error to equalize the game. Manchester united is really taking advantage oof the early goal as Rashford almost score another goal but it hit the goal post. Luton needs to be careful so that they don't concede a lot of goals in the first 20 minutes of the match. Gnarcho has scgored the second goal on the 6th minutes with a good strike. A wonderful start for Manchester united. Two goals in 6mins.

Luton 0-2 Man United.

Hojlund played really well in this match, the first goal was created as a result of a blunder by one of Luton's defenders. entering the 7th minute, Hojlund was able to make good use of Garnacho's kick and scored his second goal against Luton. In short, this match ended with a 1-2 chord. unfortunately, United were only able to score two goals despite having 21 total shots, of which 9 were on target. But no matter how many goals are scored, the points are still 3, and United did a good job in this match. however, several United players did not play with their best performance. Casemiro and Maquire played very underperformed. at least, the second layer played quite well. yeah at least, Mctomicay and Jonny Evan performed well enough as Ten Hag wanted. apart from that, Hojlund started to look good following the rhythm of the Red Devil's game. with this result, United are now only 3 points adrift of Spurs who are above the ranking they occupy. the following week, Man United will host Ful Ham. if United's players are still filled with almost all their starting level players, then Erik Ten Hag's team should be able to continue its positive trend in the remaining Premier League matches. by the way, this match matched my previous predictions.

Manchester united did had a good day and I love the fact that they were able to win but then they could have gotten more goals if they had put in some more efforts but then they didn't put in the much needed effort that could give them an extra goal to win with a good goal margin but securing three points was most important.

Luton did performed well too, their play was satisfactory and such that I could say they would have been able to get a draw against Manchester united at some points but then they were not able to break the solid defense of Manchester united which was well guarded not to concede more goals, onanan is showing very slight sign of improvement but I'm yet to be very convinced if he can really keep up with a good performance after now, I would want to see him have some more clean sheets then I can say for sure he's improved.
They misused a lot of chances that was suppose to be converted a goal. Especially Gnarcho, I don't know what happened to his legs that he couldn't score any goal, even when he had a one-on-one with Luton's goalkeeper. It should have ended 4-1, because Luton left their defense porous looking for how they will equalize the goal.

Manchester united took total control of the second half, unlike the way that they were playing unstable in the first half. Manchester united have won four games in a role currently, and this is a good performance from the red devils.

Football is full of surprises which you can never predict, I think nobody saw this coming that Chelsea will be the one to score the first goal to lead the game, and it was unexpected that the game will end in draw. This game was not just a win for Chelsea but also a win for Liverpool and arsenal.  Arsenal is all alone chasing the first to be at the top position and Liverpool will have some relief knowing that it is just only arsenal that is close to them.

Honestly Chelsea performed better in their game against Manchester City,  it was a big surprise watching them challenging a strong team like Manchester City after many struggles in most of their previous games, but it is still not certain if Chelsea can Continue with a performance like this in other of their games coming up. Chelsea had some interesting game that they performed well but the problem they have is that it is very difficult for them to remain stable with this good performance.
Well the way Chelsea’s game play has improved is worthy of commendation as this is one big factor or change the Chelsea fans have been wanting to see. It was a great result and no one thought this result could ever be. Well this is a win for Poch, Chelsea and her fans and also a relief for Liverpool and Arsenal as the drop in points now give the 3 clubs a level playing field for the title. Now Arsenal can have a good run if they maintain consistency and Liverpool will still remain top even if Man City wins their outstanding later this week.

 Well the performance of the team was top notch and I’ll love to see them keep maintaining this level of performance as they head to the cup finals later this weekend. With this performance then I think they’ll be able to deliver Pochettino his first major trophy as a manager and would have an European spot next season. They could probably get into the conference League or Europa if they keep up with good performance.

Chelsea has really performed well against Manchester City to actually get 1 point from this match. yes, I definitely agree that football is full of surprises. Nobody expected Chelsea to actually get 1 point from this match. But they got it and it was definitely surprising.

No, I highly doubt that Chelsea will actually be able to continue performing well even though this one point should give them a lot of confidence. In my opinion, Chelsea has been a team that is really inconsistent. So it is really hard to trust them with anything. Even though they have been able to get one point from this match, there is a huge possibility that they will lose the next match again regardless of which opponent they play. But the next match in the English Premier League is against Brentford. So there is definitely a chance for Chelsea to win. But again as I said they are inconsistent.

Arsenal played a wonderful football against another struggling promoted side Burnley and it ended 0-5 which made some of not all the Burnley fans to leave the stadium before the end of the game.
Sake scored 2 goals in that encounter and it was a very easy and interesting game for Arsenal players too but with the way Saka has been playing, started his football career with the Gunners and he scored so many goals and assist. It got me wondering if Saka is a world class player or an upcoming world class player (if there's something like that) from how he has been playing I don't know if I can see him among world class player, is he?

Saka should be the fifth highest goal scorer in the Premier League standing as we speak, he's been gradually rewarded for his hardwork this season with these goals he's scored for the gunners. What I pray for him is to not to fall prey to Injury and remain consistent as he goes on this season. He been a good source of goalscoring for Arsenal you know.
It's obviously a good game from them and another player I love is Martin Odegaard, those who saw that game without giving him flowers yesterday are all doing wrong. He's been a good chance creator this season for Arsenal.

Porto in the next few days in the Champions League Competition you know, Arsenal should at least show some strength against them Portuguese side who's disturbed them before now.
