Can Fulham be relied upon to make Liverpool drop points too as they did with Arsenal? To some extent, Marco Silva's boys have found a bit of confidence and their playing pattern has become a bit interesting to watch but knowing how tough Anfield can be, I wonder if they can still be bold to withstand the pressure that Arne Slot and his men will give them and at least get something there.
If Liverpool wins their game today against Fulham, that would mean they would be temporarily passing the Gunners with seven points and Chelsea with six so knowing that they've got the likes of these two tailing them, I doubt that Slot would want to joke with this.

Marco Silva have his own tactics, so winning matches wouldn't be a challenge for him when it comes to elite oppositions, atleast not for now. But facing Liverpool, I don't think they have winning odds because the previous meetings, Liverpool handled them properly, thrashing them 3-1 at away and this time, the Reds are the hosts. Fulham dragged points with Arsenal and we watched the frustrating faces ok Gunners because that was not their expectations from competitive average team. Perhaps they're having one of the good time this season, because slowing down the momentum to reach close point with Liverpool and Chelsea, the best should be explore and Mikel Arteta is willingly fighting for a chance. The new boss, Arne Slot is serious and determined for the EPL title this season, expects the very best performance from the Reds this weekend.

Many people think he's quite arrogant and is only concerned with himself. He does like this because he thinks the club won't be successful if not him as a coach. .

what most persons look at as arrogant from Pep is just a show of confidence and believe in his ability as a coach. It's not everyone that has that quiet nature and pep definitely is not one of them. the way he speaks and carries himself helps him and the team fight back and that's one of the reasons why they have achieved all the trophies and victories over these years.

Pep loves the club and is obviously working and doing all the hard work to ensure that the team remains relevant in the competitive leagues he's participating in. Hard times like this do come for managers but it's definitely not an end for pep.

Quote from: blue Snow on December 13, 2024, 08:05:27 PM

Maybe it's time to Pep to take a break like another coach did. He must take the vacation, and break for a while, at least 1 year or over.

take a break for a whole year While the season is still running and allow what happen to the team? This is a game that doesn't allow you think outside the spot. You've got to remain relevant as long as is expected or think of the best way to take yourself off this hard corner. Dude is already close to the point of retiring and have to fix his ass or prepare to retire on a very bad note. Let's just hope that things starts to fall in place as fast as necessary.

I think Liverpool is more determined and focus this season and they wouldn't want anything that will jeopardize their chances of lifting the premier title. Arne Slot believes in his boys and they ain't gonna put themselves in a tight situation because Chelsea is also following up Liverpool which any mistakes they make now will give Chelsea an advantage to close the gap. Fulham is also doing their best so far as they have just lost only one game in their last 7 matches which tells that they ain't in a bad form either but for the fact they held Arsenal to a draw last weekend doesn't mean they can also have same luck against Liverpool today. However, i think that regardless of how strong Fulham has become in the recent matches, i still see Liverpool winning them without any difficulty. Arne Slot has a very big target for Liverpool that is why he ensured the team remain consistent in both the Champions league and in the premier league. With Diogo Jota returning from injury and available for today's game against Fulham, it will give the team more confidence and also Federico Chiesa's recovery from a virus that kept him out of their last game against Girona in the Champions league, Liverpool is all set at Anfield to welcome Fulham.

For the Arsenal-Everton and Liverpool-Fulham matches, of course I choose Arsenal and Liverpool to win.

Today there will be a very competitive match between Liverpool vs Fulham, in this match I have bet on Liverpool. Because Liverpool is the best team this season and is at the top of the points table, and Mohamed Salah's team will perform quite strongly in this match.
However, today I think I will be able to enjoy a good game from Liverpool and win the bet and I will wait until the end to watch the game.

I think Fulham will not be able to perform so strongly against Liverpool and it will not be such an exciting game. Because Liverpool is currently the strongest and most successful team, their performance is different. However, if you bet on Liverpool, then you will definitely win, a great one is waiting for you. In this match, Fulham will not be able to overcome Liverpool even if they attack strongly because Liverpool's players' attack is the strongest. And for this match, most people will bet on Liverpool because Fulham will not be able to beat Liverpool in any way.

To be fair, after having so many titles, even going for a treble one season, I feel like Pep probably deserves enough credit to wait for a while before we decide to pull the plug on him and call him a bad coach or anything. I also understand, there are too many fans of other teams all out there who hated Pep for getting success while their team couldn't, there are so many teams that spent way more than Pep did, and still called it a bought success, so I understand why people would hate him, and that is why they are so quick to jump the trigger to call him bad. But in reality, dude is good and he proved it, he won enough to say he is great, and I am sure we can give him some more time to recover from this.

That's a good enough explanation for the mood of the Man City fans and it's probably a much easier one to say. The era of success is different and it's going to be replaced because it's impossible for one team to dominate all the time. Pep Guardiola has given everything for Manchester City and now he's got a problem that could see him out of Manchester City. It is natural for people to say that and even Manchester City fans themselves express different feelings when their favorite team is in decline like now. Football is like this because it is impossible for a team to maintain great success for every season and maybe only Real Madrid is the only team that can prove that, but in some capacity they also lost the opportunity to perform better.

Guardiola disagreed with Gundogan analysis as his team lost to Juventus. Gundogan felt City were passing the ball too intricately and losing possession in dangerous areas, but the coach felt his team played well and were just unlucky in scoring goals. Guardiola refusal to admit his team's shortcomings has led many to consider him arrogant. The defeat to Juventus was part of a poor period for City, the derby match against Man United will be the next test for City.

Gundogan can be right with his analysis but he is part of Manchester City squad in this match, and as one of Manchester City midfielders, he is responsible for dangerous ball possession loss in the midfield.

Manchester City can control ball very well, have high ball possession, but they lack of speed and surprising attack moments to break their opponent defense. In the match with Juventus, this problem was clearly shown and match turns to super bad for Manchester City after Juventus scoring the first then second goal, it seems to be early ending for Manchester City. With these leading goals, Juventus with their defensive bunker, were able to play more defensive aggressive to defend their goal advantage for a final winning.

Manchester City have those problems in many matches this season from Premier League to Champions League, and with ageing on his body, Kevin De Bruyne seems to lose his magic passes and assists for Manchester City.

The match that caught my attention this weekend is the Manchester duo match, they will meet each other in conditions that can be said to be almost balanced because Manchester City has had bad results lately and Manchester United is in a period of improvement, who do you think will win this match? if I myself actually still favor Man City but seeing the bad results lately makes me doubt I try to bet BTTS which I think makes more sense.

For the Arsenal-Everton and Liverpool-Fulham matches, of course I choose Arsenal and Liverpool to win.

In terms of bookies' odds Man City is more favored because it has odds @1.59 while Man United @5.20 will you dare to bet on Man United? Actually it will be a little risky if you choose Man United but on the other hand Man City is always bad in every match, only with Forest winning at home.

If Man United lose this match, it will mean back-to-back Premier League defeats with Amorin and will add to their poor record in the table, leaving them far behind in the European title race.

Perhaps in this match will bet on both teams score with odds @1.54

Haha no, I will not take that risk and it is better to take BTTS or Asian Total because it will be much easier to analyze, betting Manchester United in this match is the same as fighting much bigger risk, I will not spend money on it.

If Manchester City can beat their opponent Manchester United this week, they will be able to change their position. However, this match will definitely be an interesting and competitive game between the two teams, Manchester United's performance has improved a bit at the moment. However, we have seen that Manchester City has not improved their game that much in the past matches, rather they are managing their games in such a way that they are facing defeat in every match. In that case, if Manchester City wins at home, it will be a good thing for them, but we can only hope that they will have a lot of advantage at home. However, if Manchester United shows their surprise and wins the match, it will be even more interesting and can improve their position. I am not sure yet who will win this match, because we have seen that Man City's situation is very bad at the moment, but if Man United can play with their strong performance, it will be possible to show a surprise.

This match is very important for both team, they both need an additional 3 points to improve the standings, the competition in the match later I still have an analysis that Manchester City will still be superior and can dominate the game, but for goal it is difficult part for both team.
I don't know who will win it but what is clear in this match for both team will not be more than 4 goal maybe only 1 - 1 or 2 - 1.

He extended his contract with Manchester City to show he is staying there but with this bad performance we see from Guardiola this won't be surprising to see him leave the team.

Guardiola has a hardest season in Manchester City, as they can win or fail to take Premier League title but having many bad matches in streak like this is the first time. Bad streak like this is terrible for all coaches and clubs, not only for Guardiola and Manchester City. It looks to be amplified and worse than usual because it happens in Manchester City, the dominating champion in Premier League last 7 seasons.

A successful coach has high ego, that is not surprising. You can be humble when you are a young coach and has yet succceded in your coach career, but when you become a legendary coach like Pep, Mourinho, Klopp, you will become very arrogant with your react. It's human reaction that is common in all successful coaches.

I see it's true that domination of Manchester City in Premier League has big contribution from Guardiola. Previously, they won 2 Premier League titles, but you see that with him they won 6 Premier League titles within 7 latest seasons, that's very impressive and that's nearly impossible to be repeated by other coaches.

I'm surprised to hear this too, why don't he go for players that he has already worked with at sporting to help strengthen the team at Manchester United. Going for players that he hasn't coached before can be challenging for him as he'll have to train them again which he doesn't have the time since he needs to do something fast about Manchester United concerning the way that they're performing. Ruben Amorim is going to be facing Pepe Guardiola again when Manchester United plays Manchester city and we're going to witness a revenge from Pep Guardiola. The only luck that Manchester United has is that Manchester city aren't in form.

Erik ten Hag did this yeah? Did you see how he was heavily criticized when most of the players he brought in weren't performing at a top level? The both of them works hand to hand, you just have to bring in player with high morales, mentality and discipline not players alway deepin them eyes into their phones. City are favorites on paper but I don't see same happening on Sunday at Etihad. It could either be a draw or Man United wins.

This is common in various clubs and no coach can be consistent all time it's just waiting for time, ready or not Guardiola will be in that position leave the club as a failure
Generally we will see the coach will leave the club when it has achieved the best achievements and move to find new challenges, I thought Guardiola missed this moment
We'll see until the end of the season whether Guardiola is able to make changes or maybe he has a reason to find new players.

Liverpool will continue their Premier League match against Fulham tomorrow and according to the squad update i have seen some of Liverpool players such as Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas potentially will be absense besides these players Alexis Mac Allister also confirmed will not into the squad because he got the suspension after accumulating five yellow cards

I have a good news because Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa could return to the squad after recover from their injured but i am not sure they will starting the match from the bench or they will playing since the beginning of match and i think people already know that Liverpool is in the good shape because they can able to managed their consistency in all competitions so lets see it later whether they can beat Fulham or not

Liverpool match against Fulham is a very tricky one that many people will easily give Liverpool a win but I will be slow to pick that option for reason being that the odd is very small compared to the risk involved. Fulham is known for surprises this season, just like they did it to Arsenal in a match that everyone though the Gunners were going to have a field day. Therefore, Liverpool might be in for some big surprises if they enter the field underestimating Fulham. However, Liverpool still have the advantage and are definitely the favorite and will likely win.

If he already has that plan then it is certain he will leave the city soon, only time will tell the truth because his contract was recently extended, or may he did it on purpose? because the selling value will increase if he is still under contract. The official won't Pep just go away, if any club or national team wants his service, then they must pay Manchester City with high price. Contract extension makes Pep an important asset to the club, and maybe this is all part of the strategy if he want leave the club with comfortably and pleasing everyone on the club. Because this is all part of business, football industry has become expansion by oil entrepreneur.

Yes, one thing for sure is that he has extended his contract until 202, and there is an option to extend it until 2027. If he does it on purpose, well, we may not know what his big plans are going forward, maybe yes, maybe no. But even if he is still under contract, but for now, his reputation is quite down. Yes, even though he has given so many trophies with Man City, but still what most people see is the present. The point is, Pep must immediately be able to overcome the problems that Man City is currently experiencing and be able to get out of this slump, for the long term, not just 1 or 2 matches then drip again. It is really concerning to see how Man City is currently doing, both in the EPL and in the UCL even more so.

He's only saying that because he knows he's the only option they got for now and the board won't do that cause of his clean record since he arrived the club, i think this is the first time such massive decline in form has occured since he joined Manchester City and i don't think they'll use it to judge his competence but would rather give him more time and even give their full support in the upcoming window. Pep Guardiola is just so frustrated at the poor reoccuring results, that's why he made such statement without thinking whether they’ll fire him or not, moreover he's achieve a lot with the team and across England and he's aware that if they decide to fire him, it won't take too long before he secures another big job in Europe based on his profile. Well i don't think what that they're experiencing would last for a long time, things would get better cause i expect them to be busy in the January window. I believe they're currently busy scouting substitute for Rodri and other areas that needs strengthening.

to be honest a team like Mancehester City is not like top teams like Real Madrid where Pep Guadiola might have a doubt they might sack after all these disappointing performances. City never dream of being where they are currently without the help of Pep, thier hero and master mind. The fans want him may even wish for him to stay as their manager till he chooses to official retire from management.

Pep and his men having a difficult time this period and may more likely bounce back by January, after the squad is more likely strengthen especially in the DM role handled by Rodri before his ACL injury.

I am sure that Manchester City management will not fire Pep Guardiola, and in fact the manager has just extended his contract until June 2027. Pep Guardiola understands very well what he said, and the impact that his words will have. No one expected Manchester City to experience a significantly decline in performance, and this decline was not only caused by Rodri injury, I am sure there are many things that we do not know happened in the dressing room.
But, there is hope that Pep Guardiola can turn the team performance around in the second half of the season. At the very least, Manchester City can still be considered as a strong contender to qualify for the Champions League round of 16 and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season

Manchester city are in really hot soup this season and the funny thing is that I really can't remember the last time Manchester city had this many losses, I mean it's just crazy seeing them not being able to recover from their bad form and the worse part is that they find it very very difficult to create chances and finish up those chances. Yesterday game was something else and it was so tempting once more to play them to win as everyone would be feeling they would definitely win their next game but the losing just keep going on.

It's crazy to see Manchester City are collapsing too quickly like this. Even few weeks ago, it was hard to imagine that they can have very big crisis like this. I believe that reason is not from Rodri who is important for their squad but if the whole squad collapses like this, it's not because of any single player, even he is very important.

The biggest task for Pep Guardiola now is to boost mentality of his players, to fight strongly and exit the crisis first. Usually with any crisis like this, there is possible conflict between the coach and players, and we will soon know whether there is such internal conflict in Manchester City soon.

At the moment Manchester United should have more luck when meeting Manchester City who in their last ten games have only managed to win one match when hosting Nottingham Forest. So Manchester United can take more steps to make more surprises through their new manager's breakthroughs this weekend when they play as guests at Manchester City's home later. Because Manchester City are in a less than good condition so the level of luck for the match should be more potential for Manchester United to get this weekend.

Both Manchester United and Manchester City don't have good performances in this season but Manchester City have worse form recently and this can be a good chance for Manchester United to beat Manchester City, by taking advantage of perhaps weakest Manchester City after a very long time with Pep Guardiola management.

Ruben Amorim can have a second win against Manchester City after very short time, first with Sporting Lisbon and second with Manchester United. Mentality in Manchester City seems to be broken recently and they did not show strong and winning mentality of a champion.

Guardiola having the worst days in Manchester City and we know that. Now they even lost the game against Juventus in the Champions League and that's not good at all. Guardiola is falling and he is not the good coach as were expecting to see in this team.
He extended his contract with Manchester City to show he is staying there but with this bad performance we see from Guardiola this won't be surprising to see him leave the team.
