It's a mistake to not replace Palmer with other striker, he already got three big chances, but wasted all of them. Although Chelsea play really well, I don't feel they will qualify for final since they don't have any good striker. Broja, Sterling, Palmer, Madueke, etc are just B class players.

Isn't shame Chelsea lose against mediocre team in Championship?

I guess the next match Middlesbrough will play defensive and end in draw.

Overall, Chelsea played very well, but the problem was again that their attack line was very disappointing. Arsenal and Chelsea seem to have the same problem this time. But I think Chelsea's condition is more worrying.

For the second leg, I think there is still hope for Chelsea. But if the opponent decides to make a full defensive strategy then well this will be very difficult for Chelsea. But if the opponent is a little greedy and continues to play with an offensive strategy then I think Chelsea will have a chance to win and of course they will have to score more than 1 goal. But even then, Chelsea can improve their very blunt attack line so that it becomes sharper.

It was exactly what I expected and Chelsea couldn't come away with a win.Middlesbrough's coming all the way here had a significance and Chelsea have always been hesitant about their performances against such teams.We saw it again yesterday and I was expecting a draw but Chelsea's defeat didn't surprise me.Even though Middlesbrough played a dominant game, we can say that it was a match where the one who scored the goal won, not the one who played dominant and well.

Even though Chelsea just won a landslide win against Preston in the FA Cup and I think they could take this opportunity to win again against one of the teams in the Championship in the EFL Cup. I'm quite sad about your losing bet but I think you have to be more sincere when betting on Chelsea because basically they can't be consistent or much more developed. We know that it is no longer a secret that in the end Chelsea had to give up and accept defeat from a team far below their level.

Anyway, regarding Middlesbrough, they are the team that made it difficult for Aston Villa in the FA Cup competition some time ago and even though Aston Villa were still able to win narrowly in injury time. You should be more careful in determining your bets because even a championship level team can make it difficult for a team like Aston Villa, which is currently competing for the EPL title this season. So next time you have to be more careful before placing a bet.

There was clearly a slight setback after Gundogan and Mahrez left because Manchester City's form dropped a little more and it was different when De Bruyne was not injured so there were players who could be the difference. If you don't believe it, look at De Bruyne's presence in the match against Huddersfield in the FA CUP even though he came on in the second half, Manchester City's game was much more coordinated especially in midfield so he managed to provide one assist.

Pep Guardiola is a typical coach who likes to use young players in certain matches and perhaps the presence of Claudio Echeverri and Finlay Gorman is an alternative when Pep Guardiola needs it. The transfer market has opened and we haven't seen which star player Manchester City is pursuing because if you pay attention, the media is not talking too much about Manchester City right now.

Damn again and again Chelsea made me lose some money and destroyed the series of bets I had, these losses were quite annoying.
They only played against teams from the Championship League but still lost and of course many of their fans or bettors felt disappointed.
If you look at the performance of the two teams, it is clear that Chelsea is superior, but on the field Chelsea playing quality is quite poor, they were able to dominate the match but failed to score goal.
From here it might give you feeling of skepticism towards them.

Yes, it's true that Manchester City just lost their concentration and it could be said that they are less stable, but they are still trying to show their best so they don't experience defeat. Pep Guardiola has not given up. He is still confident that Manchester City performance can still be improved in the remainder of this season. and I am sure Manchester City will be more focused on winning in the future and we can see in their last 5 match that Manchester City managed to achieve 4 wins including a draws and in the last match Manchester City also won against Huddersfield with a landslide score of 5:0.

I haven't read the latest news regarding this matter, whether Pep Guardiola has made efforts to recruited new players. But I think Pep Guardiola is doing that so fill the void for players who leave, but Kevin De Bruyne has returned. I thinks Pep Guardiola only recruits players who he think are right really important for the club rather than having to waste a lot of money.

Parking the bus is not a very good strategy for a team that is only 1 goal ahead because it is very possible that their defense will make a mistake which will be profitable for Chelsea so that the match will possibly continue into extra time or have the opportunity to be decided by a penalty shootout and if that happens then the chances of both teams will be back 50/50.
Maybe Chelsea didn't play badly but they still continued to show weaknesses in terms of finishing so that controlling more than 70% of ball possession was not enough to even score a goal.
Meanwhile, in the other semifinal, there might be no obstacles for Liverpool in this first meeting to beat Fulham, and for the second meeting it could be even easier to deal with Liverpool must be able to score more than two goals.

Many fans are simply used to Manchester City winning the premier league in the last three seasons, not four. They failed to remember how Manchester City made fierce efforts to come out on top for the championship. It was never a simple ride.

Last season it was Arsenal who started to lead before Manchester City was catching up in the last matches of that season. And before the last season, Manchester City outpointed Liverpool by only a single point to win the championship.

There are many matches left and this condition for Manchester City is not new to them. I am certain Pep Guardiola is aware and he will bring some help if it is essential. Manchester City was greatly impacted by the prolonged absence of KDB, but he is back.

It should be against a poor team from the championship division that chelsea can win easily and win hands down. but in reality it lost 1-0. but there is still a 2nd match played at stamford bridge to win with a 2 goal advantage at stamford bridge and against a poor team from the championship division it should be easy for chelsea to do. to advance to the final which will most likely be against Liverpool.

Honestly it has become obvious that Chelsea is no longer fit on this season because seeing them losing the match they should have an upper chance of wining makes me think if is actually the Chelsea I use to no because the kind of matches they are losing this season is unlike them, imagine there poor performance on this there match against Middlesbrough on EFL Cup semifinals, Chelsea had the opportunity of wining Middlesbrough but could not utilize the opportunity, they dominated the match right from beginning with 72 percent possession while Middlesbrough was just 28 percent possession, it was really unfortunate for them on that match, so perhaps I think there coach should really try and identify the areas they are having difficulties, in other for them to have it fixed because is really annoying witching Chelsea playing like a club that doesn't have a target.

I think if you know Manchester City and Pep Guardiola you should give more chances to this team. because Manchester City got a miracle like Guardiola in this team they can definitely have a high chance of winning the league even after the gap they have with the first pale the table.
We should not forget Manchester City could win the premier league in the last season even after the weeks of Arsenal being in the first place and there's still the cache to see the same thing.
  

Honestly that was the worst I have seen from Cole Palmer this season, I wasn't sure if it was him all these while in that game, like what really went wrong with him in that game? I hate to see him play as a false 9 and Pochettino is good at gambling with games, I mean how can you have a number 9 (Broja) and you're trying to do some silly experiment? No matter how small the competition is he (Pochettino) was suppose to come out with his best. Why on Earth was Broja on the bench? This was the same gambling he normally does when he was at Tottenham.
If Chelsea continues like this I don't see them going far in any competition they're in.
Fine Palmer made a huge mess by missing 4 good chances but as a coach he was suppose to take out Madueke bring in Mudryk right from the first half, and maybe bring in Broja and take out Palmer and I believe he would have gotten a goal to level the game up. Well is just a shame, the Blues played pretty bad and if they play the way they did against Middlesbrough I don't see them winning their next EPL game.
For the record Pochettino is some how letting us know that he's confused and without him knowing what to do is like Potter in disguise.

Overall Chelsea was better in this match but they cannot score a goal against a team that is a league lower then them. This is worrying because how can you expect from them to do anything big in the premier league. I think they will even struggle in the second leg aswell, because their opponent will probobly park the bus.

Four good chances to be converted by Cole Palmer in the first but he failed to do that, it was sad to see how he never had them anymore,  finally its a moral lesson for everyone.

You have to blame the coach who is in control if they can't get a good results from this season also.
Pochettino Is also a better coach  than Potter who sank the blues in a deep oceans and wasn't able to get them back up. He will not he sacked but should take his job seriously. Arsenal needs a hit man to score for them.

In fact, I don't see a setback in Manchester City game regarding the departure of Gundogan and Mahrez because Pep Guardiola has players who are able to cover the gaps left by these two players. But they lost their concentration in the previous few matches, I think they missed Kevin de Bruyne because he is the more influential player in the Manchester City team.

Meanwhile, the January transfer window is underway, let's see if Pep Guardiola will recruit several players to help him bring Manchester city back to being champions this season. Currently there are two new players who have joined Manchester City, including Claudio Echeverri and Finlay Gorman, but these two players are still quite young and may be a priority for the upcoming seasons.

It's still leg 1, there will be another chance for chelsea to win the game as long as the club will able to make more than 1 goals against middlesbourg in the second leg. So, chelsea needs to learn from the mistake being made in the first leg.
As you can see that chelsea got impressire stats but finishing once again becomes the main problem of chelsea that may be preventing the club on the second leg. The first leg was happening again and losing 1 goal can still be tolerated by the fans.
The different thing when it comes to the losing a lot of goals in a short time. Chelsea can make its comeback at the secondleg. This is another chance for chelsea to get into the next round.

Chelsea's performance was not pretty and it was also missing a lot of chances. This is the main problem that needs to be solved soon. The club was performing so badly and this is the main problem. Pchettino needs to find a solution to beat it in the second leg.

Man City's strength has really dropped drastically due to the number of injured players, especially as some of them are key players and basically the brains of Man City's game. Well, for now, most of them have recovered and are ready to strengthen the team again. Even though it might not be as good or awesome as before, I'm sure they can still bring Man City to improve its performance well. Moreover, Man City still has 1 match that they have not played compared to other top clubs. So if you win, the distance between the points and the top standing club will be smaller. but indeed, the struggle will definitely be more difficult and will not be so easy. So, what is certain is that the EPL will become even more interesting this season.

Even though Tottenham bought more talented players in this transfer market and they can really improve their performance in the future, I'm not sure if they can achieve their goal of winning the EPL title this season. This is not something easy because Tottenham's rivals are Liverpool, Aston Villa, Man City, and also Arsenal who are in the top position, which in fact they have a stronger and more solid squad at the moment. So, what is possible is if Tottenham can get into the top 3 or 4 then they can enter the ULC qualifications next season. And this can be a business that requires a lot of effort. We all know how tough the competition is in the EPL. So of course it is not only Tottenham who will improve their squad in this transfer market, but also other clubs.

It seems Tottenham is not going to give up easily and they are even trying to have more players and more chances for the title of this season. Tottenham bought a new player, Timo Werner the German player from Leipzig joined Tottenham officially and he is going to help them to race in the premier league.
Timo Werner is going to play for Tottenham on loan however he also had offers from Manchester United.

You're absolutely right that no champion can reign forever but will just last for some time and leave the space for others to also shine. Although everyone knows that Manchester City has indeed achieved an impressive record of consecutive trophy wins, it is commendable and also has a good reputation in football. However, it is also true that this season has been very challenging for Manchester City, as they have struggled even against smaller clubs. Which makes people think that the team's getting weaker. Although football can be unpredictable, it's important to accept the current condition of Manchester City.
 
While there is still time for Manchester City to recover and maintain their position, we should also consider the possibility of other clubs winning the league this season, because, for Manchester City, I don't think it will work. It could bring a different dynamic and add to the sporting excitement of football.
