When I saw the progress of the match in the first half, I thought that Arsenal would win this match because they played better than Liverpool who didn't get any shots on target in the first half. But, in the second half, Liverpool improved slightly and I think what made them win was that they had a better fighting spirit and composure than Arsenal. Liverpool always keeps their guard up and when Arsenal lets their guard down and makes a mistake, Liverpool takes advantage of that opportunity to get a goal.
In this match Arsenal actually won in terms of possession of the ball and opportunities, but unfortunately the dullness of the front line again became Arsenal's main problem because there was no striker who was capable enough to score goals, Arsenal habit of attacking through Saka and Martinelli was very easy for the opponent to read so there was no creativity arsenal attacks can be predicted if the end of the match always ends in defeat, if you look at several Arsenal matches back then you will be able to find that Arsenal game is actually quite good but the final solution is always a problem, in the match against Liverpool we can see that the front players Arsenal looked very frustrated because the Liverpool defenders seemed to have read every move of the Arsenal players and were able to overcome them.
Now it's time for the Arsenal to have some improvement into their attack if they want to have better result otherwise things can go from bad to worse with in their last 7 games they have just one win and 2 draws which are clearly showing how they are losing their target and from these 7 games they score only 3 goals which are worst for the top team like Arsenal even they are having good control, but finishing is not good creativity is also not good which are important for them if they want to win better in coming weeks.

Now in coming weeks, their life could be tough with they need to act quickly, and they have no enough time for doing things which are needed frustration can bring more negativity which is never been good while you are fighting for the top spots into tough leagues hopefully this last lost against Liverpool could be turning point for them, and they will be overcome their problems.

But against Liverpool the game took a direction that couldn't be predicted during the game. I think the goal against Arsenal after 80 minutes was brutal as it was an own goal when Arsenal themselvses had their chances to take the lead and instead they put the ball in the back of the net in their own goal. That's tough.

The second goal scored by Diaz was probably not even necessary anymore, but I am sure that this was one of those wins that Klopp enjoy in a very special way.
We can say that Liverpool was quite lucky that they could have 2 goals. The first goal is an own goal made by Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal player). Another goal was made in the injury time (90+5'). If there is no own goal, Arsenal players may have a better chance to score goals. Luckily, Arsenal player made a mistake, the own goal happened, it dropped their mentality.

It may be not really important goal anymore but it make Liverpool to ensure their win. By scoring another goal, Liverpool didn't win the match by getting an own goal only. At least Liverpool could score 1 goal from their own players.

The inability to convert domination into goals can indeed be a concern. Restructuring the team and signing a new striker are the needs now. Arteta has been failing his plan with the signing of Jesus and Havert who performed way under expectation. Restructuring and strategic player acquisitions are potential solutions to address performance issues.

Arsenal's recent performances were discouraging that makes Arteta needs to make tough decisions, and Arteta will likely be evaluating the team's strategy and composition. They need to make positive adjustments moving forward to bring better results for the team and its supporters.
The results that follows when a club doesn't stand strong enough and have experience of deep losses have baffled Arsenal. They're currently not anticipating in any solid tournaments except the UEFA Champions League and also a little bit revival in the English Premier League. Goals are scored in every match and we just hoped things go smooth for Gunners. Arsenal working currently on restructuring their team this season. They have been through alot of disastrous form and I hoped Mikel Arteta will definitely bounce his team back to the winning form the fans and the board desires.

Arsenal basically didn't want that defeat and they have tried their best to win it. Liverpool were luckier in taking their chances than Arsenal, even if Arsenal had more big chances wasted. Of course this has a bad impact on Arsenal, but this defeat proves that Arsenal always have difficulty appearing higher than other teams.

Arsenal really need a winning mentality, they don't have it at the moment even though I think Arsenal have a good chance of winning. It's difficult to get results like that when the team's performance is quite good when starting the match, but what can you do, Arsenal failed with all their good chance. Arteta and everyone in the team are responsible for the defeat, so they have to get up and try to do better.

Arsenal are a good team, they're active in all competitions and they've got the special ability to get victorious at the end. Well for me they've got a great squad and impressive management too but it'll be better if there's an improvement to what they already have. They need to take advantage of the current window and strengthen some areas of the team, especially the top 9 position cause Gabriel Jesus is becoming unrelaible and Nketiah is still not very experienced for that role.

 Adding a striker to the list and a few more players with increased effect won't really be a bad idea, rather it'll push the team into getting greater, bigger results. It's actually good that so far, the team have been promising and they're working smoothly with their manager too. Errors are quickly corrected and coordinations are present to. One would wait to anticipate what the January transfer window holds for this team.

I agree with you 100% that Arsenal is a good team, and they have been performing well in various competitions, which I am sure many people will testify to. For the team to have more strength during the current transfer window, which is a good advantage for them, especially in the top nine positions, will possibly be beneficial. Gabriel Jesus's reliability and Nketiah's experience are valid concerns. Adding a striker and a few more players with increased impact could potentially lead to greater results for the team, and I am quite sure they will do more than what people expect from them, which will make many fans more excited about their term.

 It is positive to hear that the team has been promising so far and that they have a good working relationship with their manager. Their ability to quickly correct errors and maintain coordination is important for great success. So let's wait and see what the January transfer window holds for Arsenal. So that we can see what arsenals are capable of doing.
What a very good biography you've given Arsenal, though they are a good team, no doubt about that but the repeat of the mistakes they frequently make is what is getting me angry with them. In one of my past reviews of the club, as much as I gave them some praise, I also gave them some knocks and insisted that they could try but might still not be able to lift the cup this season. This is not because I don't want them to lift the cup but because I have carefully studied the Gunners, they always mess up when the ovation is loud for them, so I am not surprised with their recent performance, they always drop from the first spot. The feat they were supposed to maintain when they meet both big and lesser clubs, they will douse it and start trying harder later when opportunities have been missed in the past. Missed opportunities in soccer may not be regained if one is not careful which is why it is even good for them to be extra careful and prepare better when they face big clubs as the 3 points gained from a big team win is a stronger point closer to winning the tournament than winning the lesser team that it is almost certain that you will win.

This is very important even though it is the same point we are talking about, but the hurdles are not the same, and if maximised, it is an added advantage. The same thing was their issue last season, they will become hot at times and turn cold later, such will not help them to maintain good standing. FA apart because I knew that Liverpool would beat them, but you can imagine West Ham beating Arsenal 2 to no goal on their part, and Fulham almost replicate it if not for the early time goal by Saka. They should have played better having drawn Liverpool in an earlier match with them about 2 weeks ago. The same early-minute goal helped them against Liverpool as well. But instead of continuing to be ferocious with the attack, they will attack a little afterwards but defend more. This is certainly not working for them, they need to change and not praise the cooperation with the coach alone against what you said. The players should be up and doing and if it is about removing and adding in this transfer window, let Arteta do it. But I strongly doubt if any changes will have so much effect on the players even as I see not much issue other than the player needs more motivation or pressure as the case may be. The current guys played well initially, they can still do the same if better managed in my opinion.

Ok that is quite optimistic because I think that no team so far has ever won the treble twice in a row. Solely based on statistics I think that this statement is doomed to turn out to be wrong, but for as long as Manchester City is around and in the position to win all of the titles, there is nothing that speaks against them doing it. Whether they will, I don't know. But we can see that the competition in the Premier League has become incredibly tough and in the Champions League, there are a couple of clubs that I think are on the same level as Manchester City. Definitely Real Madrid I think.
Yeah mate my statement is just based on speculations and assumptions and nothing more than that,  because we have already multiple factors that may prevent that occurrence from happening and as the season goes going more or more limits may be placed on Manchester City that will prevent them from achieving that records of maintaining that position for multiple of time.

But also we can't outrightly write them off either since at the moment,  Manchester City is the defending champion and is more likely perceived as the closest club to the title since they hold the title currently.

It's not just you who are starting to think whether Arsenal will be okay with their current performance in preparation for the Champions League later. Because actually the strength of Arsenal's back and midfield is quite impressive. Even their front line always seems to be able to make things difficult for their opponents. Even Liverpool in yesterday's match looked overwhelmed from the first half. Because Arsenal continuously made attacks which always almost endangered Liverpool's goal. But what is very disappointing is that Arsenal's attacks always endanger the opponent's goal but that's all. Well poor finishing is the only problem in Arsenal's current squad. Arteta has actually created a good strategy that can always pressure opponents. But I think the problem here is with the players themselves. They are quite bad because they always fail to take advantage of opportunities. So Arteta's task in this case may only be to convince the front line players to be able to play more confidently.

I keep on wondering if Arsenal's performance will improve better than this way, as they played the entire game and were unable to score, but their opponents scored goals. I was hoping that Arsenal would pull off a fantastic comeback against Liverpool after losing to West Ham and Fulham, but after the game, I was really disappointed with their performance. They played well in the first half of the game, but they just didn't score, they lose their chances. Arsenal's current issue, in my opinion, is with the players. Gabriel Jesus had another injury yesterday, therefore Arteta needs to find a new striker, since they are already to become weak.




Here is the list of temporary top scorers in the EPL and as usual there is the name Erling Haaland who tops the temporary tally with 14 goals and that is the same number as Mohamed Salah who is behind in terms of age. Erling Haaland is still very young and is still consistent with Manchester City and it is likely that he will still be the top scorer in the 23/24 EPL season. Apart from that, there is one surprising name, namely Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth who has managed to score 12 goals so far and that is also the same number of goals as Son from Spurs. Another one is Jarrod Bowen from West Ham with 11 goals which also enlivens the list of top scorers so far.

I think the competition between these players to get the EPL golden boot is still very wide open and they still have the opportunity to increase the number of goals they will score in the remainder of this season. But what is clear is that the competition for top scorers will still be dominated by Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah until the end of this season. Quite curious who will set another record this season.

I think that Erling Haaland will still break the Premier League record this season. The reason why Mohamed Salah have the same number of goals with Haaland, because Haaland has been out of the squad for the past few weeks due to injury, which has given Salah the advantage to score more goals and have equal numbers with him. If Haaland return back to the squad, I believe he can still score more goals to win the golden boot. Haaland will be the highest goal scorer for Manchester City unlesshe pick up another injury.

Manchester City can still be relatively relaxed, it is not as if they were far behind and would need to fear that they lose contact to the top teams at the table. In fact if they win that one game which they still have to play to catch up in the number of games, it is just 2 points between them and a very strong Liverpool. But the season is still very long and if we think about the teams that have most likely the longest breath in this race, I think most of us here would agree that it is more likely to see Manchester City make some big moves instead of Aston Villa or Arsenal. In my opinion there is nothing to worry about for them.
There is still alot ahead of this season and Manchester City is still in a good position to climb the table to top the league,  I was arguing with a Manchester City fan earlier this week and he was so optimistic that Manchester City is going to retain their current title in all leagues.

But I try to point him to some fact that may limit the club from achieving that in this season,  but he was so bent on his point and at that point, I have to leave him alone and let time do the judgement,  to see where Manchester city will end this season.

Ok that is quite optimistic because I think that no team so far has ever won the treble twice in a row.

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.

Huddersfield was a low tier club and it's all going to be a non sense thing if manchester city will not be able to win against huddersfield. Yeah that's amazing to see that so many key players were playing again like doku and de bruyne. Manchester city could use the secondary squad to win against it.
In fact, huddersfield was a very weak team and it will not be a hard opponent for manchester city to beat it. Manchester city is winning against huddersfield with 5 goals and it was getting perfect cleansheet today.
No doubt that since the gap between the king of UCL last season is too big compared to the huddersfield but it was good enough caused by hudders can still play against the strongest team in EU last season. It will be even better if bruyne will be back again.

Im not even doubting the performance of manchester city once it was coming to the knock out stage. City will always be on fire in this stage.

That win for Liverpool was huge without Salah. I thought the whole game that Arsenal would have the upper hand in the end, but Liverpool didn't stop defending so strongly. Luck was on their side to a certain degree, but Liverpool isn't a bunch of lazy guys who didn't deserve it. They worked their asses off during that game and if then luck is in their favor, I am ok with it. Since they lost their best striker due to the African Cup, it's only fair if some of that disadvantage turns into a little bit of luck for them at the right place and in the right moment. This time Arsenal was out of luck.

Liverpool always keeps their guard up and when Arsenal lets their guard down and makes a mistake, Liverpool takes advantage of that opportunity to get a goal.

Arsenal was definitely in the pole position most of the time in that game, but it is still a game where all that counts are the goals. No goals, no win. Wink But Liverpool played well with the means they had. It is never an easy game to play away from home against Arsenal these days as they have made tremendous progress themselves in the last two years. They compensated well for the absence of Salah, but it could be seen that he is missing big time. They will need him back as soon as possible. It's never good when the top striker is gone for a long time and this is quite a long time.
Of course, Liverpool is not the only one affected by this. Still, leaving the team at a time like this would be damaging for Liverpool, which is competing for the title. They need Salah to become champions. He's a fantastic striker. He also plays great on the wing. Frankly, it is a privilege to have it. I hope he returns soon.

What progress? I was not even seeing it as a progress. You won so many matches but you got nothing, what's difference with you lose and you got nothing? I took trophy as the main target by any team. I can't call that team was successful without even winning any trophiy.
This kinda weird to call that the performance from arsenal has made some progress. I saw that if there's no different compared to the last season. This club has no winning mentality and that's it. It doesn't even matter how much money spent by the club and the result will always be the same.

I am not even remotely surprised by the possibility of Arsenal ending yet another season without any trophies, as it has become a recurring pattern for the club's ownership to fail in achieving success in competitions. Arsenal's players must be ashame caused by they ran for nothing at the end of season.
Despite the absence of Salah, Liverpool played the match and faced constant pressure from Arsenal, who relentlessly pressed them from the very first minute. The club created numerous opportunities to score, but unfortunately, they were unable to convert any of them into goals. Liverpool was also missing salah and dijk.

I see the same arsenal compared to the last season. Let's talk about the fact that arsenal won so many games last season then it got nothing. I think the same scenario is going to happen again to the arsenal. I see this club is nothing compared other club like liverpool or city.

This season is a tough one, we can see already more than three teams competing closely for the title. Kelvin De Bruyne’s return is definitely a huge boost for Manchester City who haven’t been at their very best level since his injury. With or without KDB, Manchester City were going to win over Huddersfield anyway so bringing KDB on was just to increase the torture and dominance.

Kevin De Bruyne had not played a match for 5 months, if you are taking a long break after being injured, returning with such a simple match is a very good option. He was back on the field without tiring himself, and they took as little risk as possible.
I hope the effects of your injury end soon. There are already news about De Bruyne's transfer, maybe he can become a star in a team like Al Nassr if he doesn't get injured.  Smiley
Man City crushed Huddersfield with a score of 5-0 and in this match,  Man City really dominated the game. From the start, it was predicted that Man City would get an easy win because they were playing at home and Man City is at a level far above Huddersfield. One interesting thing is that we can see De Bryune returning to the field after the long injury he suffered. Even though he didn't play the full game, he managed to make an assist.
The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come!
I was so impressed with the performance of Manchester City, Kevin De Bruyne is back with incredible thing, the club really missed him, his First game since August and Kevin De Bruyne has already give an assist, so many people that are saying that they can do without him it's a lie because Haaland really suffered his absent, I think Haaland should learn how to be creative because Kevin De Bruyne will not stay long like him so he have to stand on his feet to be creative, assuming he has that creativity and Kevin De Bruyne all together, no one can stand him in times of goals.

Haaland is certainly a unique player, because you can see that this season he is clearly in a slump and very often it is seen that he does not get into the game and often can not score from very favorable situations, in which before without problems scored, but nevertheless, even being not in the best shape remains the best scorer in the EPL.

Salah as always well done, trying to pull Liverpool to the championship this year and trying his best, and Bowen is probably time to look for a club from the top five, the potential for development he still has a lot.
Haaland's 15 matches this season and the 14 goals he has scored I don't think it's too suitable to say that he is slumping because his performance is still very terrible with a very good goal scoring instinct. Indeed, there are some opportunities that sometimes make Haaland a little inconvenient to score goals but until now with the productivity he has I think he is still fine until now.

There are several reasons that make it sometimes difficult for him to score goals such as because of problems with the feet because at the beginning of the season until now there were several times Haaland could not play well because of problems with his feet. In addition, some situations that occur for Manchester City's midfield where when losing De Bruyne is one of the reasons he is a little inconvenient than before because De Bruyne's good supply is reduced so that the quality of Manchester City's attacks is also a little irregular which makes Haaland a little inconvenient with what happens in a match.

It is unimaginable that two big English Premier League teams experienced something like that, especially Manchester United, who have been struggling for a long time to return to their top performance.
There was hope when last season Ten Haag gave Manchester United something different, but it was quite strange in my opinion this continues to happen in their performance this season which ultimately shows them as a team that finds it difficult to perform well in many matches and they lose very easily to teams that are considered weaker than them, so it makes sense that Chelsea and Manchester United will not get a place in the league champion next season because their current points are quite far behind the top four in the standings.
Everyone has had their own glory days and of course we can imagine that if in the future these two teams rise again and are truly at their best.
So Premier League will truly be league with very interesting competition, there will be lots of fierce matches of course.
Not only Ten Hag but also Pochettino are big hopes for both teams, it just that they both continue to fail to build and improve the quality performance of the game in each of the team they train.
We don't know how the two of them are developing because if you look at this season, it looks like there is no hope and also the financial support factor from both teams cannot be used as well as possible, they took and threw away the wrong players.

But if Manchester United and Chelsea use this season as lesson to be able to start getting up and fixing all the mistakes and problems that occur then there is possibility that next season they will be able to compete in next season competition.
If we discuss the two clubs MU and Chelsea in the near future it seems quite difficult to win the title again or return to their glory days because they have to really go through a very long process and have to start from getting an experienced coach like for example MU or Chelsea can get coaches like Xabi and after that gave him the opportunity to bring in players who he thought could help the club return to strong form and after that had to get high quality players.
In this way, I am sure that these two clubs will soon return to their glory days, but this will not be easy to do because it really difficult to bring in a great coach because a great coach will also choose before accepting an offer, while the reputation of MU and chelsea considered to be slightly declining. and several times wanted to bring in experienced coaches but were always rejected.
With all this, we have to understand that the glory days can be achieved but we have to overcome many obstacles and if in next season erik Ten Hag is not fired, will definitely still be like this season.

De Bruyne made a great return by the way. He entered the game in the 57th minute of their FA Cup game and it took him only 17 minutes to make an assist to Doku.  Smiley  It was a really lovely assist as well. This is great news for Manchester City as the games which De Bruyne is a part of are much more winnable for them.

From now on I expect to see him in their next Premier League games as well. I don't know if he would be in the starting eleven right away in their next league game. But in a short time at worst he would take his place back there for sure.
Great players like De Bruyne always have a good impact in a game; his impact in yesterday's match shows that Manchester City will bounce back strong in the Premier League to keep their title challenge. Doku, Haaland, and Alverest will now start shining because the man that will feed them with passes is back, and Manchester City will now be the best team in the Premier League as they used to be because their main man, KDB, is back and fully fit.

During the first and second half Arsenal dominated but can't score any goal and that's very poor, with tonight  performance it shows Arsenal can't move forward this season, reason why I said Arsenal can't move forward, the team has zero effort to push forward for now, Arteta can still restructure the team but it shows he can't and the signing of a new striker should not be taken for granted, the team really need a striker this January, looking at the attempt and shots after the match and still no goal still baffles me, Arteta should restructure the team.
The inability to convert domination into goals can indeed be a concern. Restructuring the team and signing a new striker are the needs now. Arteta has been failing his plan with the signing of Jesus and Havert who performed way under expectation. Restructuring and strategic player acquisitions are potential solutions to address performance issues.

Arsenal's recent performances were discouraging that makes Arteta needs to make tough decisions, and Arteta will likely be evaluating the team's strategy and composition. They need to make positive adjustments moving forward to bring better results for the team and its supporters.

No one knows how Chelsea will perform in the future. It is clear that this season is still quite long and anything is still possible to happen.
In terms of the quality of Pochettino's coaching, it's not too bad, in fact he has a lot of experience in managing Premier League teams, he just needs time to be able to build this team and I believe in time and process, sooner or later progress will occur and we can see that from the start of the season.
It's too far to analyze Chelsea's future journey because what needs to be done this season is they have to be able to break into the top five positions even though it is difficult because they are far behind the other teams in the top five positions. Pochettino is still quite bad at handling Chelsea because they don't play consistently and they even lose when facing teams that are far below their quality. If Chelsea do not make changes, it will be very difficult for them to catch the top five positions and if they wait for the process then Chelsea will lose the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League and Europa League next season.

In the FA Cup they managed to seal victory against Preston with a quite promising victory even though the opponents they faced were much easier. Only Arsenal suffered defeat against Liverpool in a fairly fierce match. Even though Arsenal were able to control the game, Jurgen Klopp's men managed to win by two goals in the match.

The game was completely one-sided. Manchester City players performed exceptionally well, especially Foden. Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku returned from injury and City scored five goals against Huddersfield in the FA Cup! It's a comprehensive win for Manchester City, as expected. Of course, it's good to see KDB back in action. More good things to come!
Jeremy Doku is one of the best signing for Manchester City because ever since the guy started playing for Manchester City there has been so much improvement on that position, although he doesn't score much but he is a very creative player that always creates a scoring opportunities for Manchester City. Also phil Foden is a very talented and consistent player I have ever seen in Manchester City because his performance is exceptional and there is no match that he doesn't play well, he is always very tactical and knows what to do at every moment, I honestly enjoy watching the guy because he is very impressive.

De Bruyne made a great return by the way. He entered the game in the 57th minute of their FA Cup game and it took him only 17 minutes to make an assist to Doku.  Smiley  It was a really lovely assist as well. This is great news for Manchester City as the games which De Bruyne is a part of are much more winnable for them.

From now on I expect to see him in their next Premier League games as well. I don't know if he would be in the starting eleven right away in their next league game. But in a short time at worst he would take his place back there for sure.

Correct. Getting a better striker might indeed be a solution. But the problem is that in the mid-season transfer market it is very difficult to get good players in the transfer market. Because of course all the great players will be retained by each club until the season ends. Unless it makes a high offer that is difficult for the targeted club and player to refuse.

If Arsenal cannot bring in a new, better striker, then Arteta's task will definitely become tougher because he has to maximize the current striker. And actually Arsenal's strikers were also very good at first. His quality has been proven at the start of this season with Arsenal and also in the previous season. It's just that I don't know what's happening now that all the front line players seem to be together and not as sharp as usual.

That can happen because we know that maintaining consistency at the top level is very difficult for any player. I see that currently Arsenal does not have a striker who is able to maintain their level of play. Examples of strikers who are able to be consistent with their performance are Kane, Mbappe and Haaland. I can't mention all the strikers but the fact is that currently Arsenal's strikers are still inconsistent with their game and this is a tough task for Arteta if he wants to appear competitive and win the title.

Yes indeed, the reality is that Arsenal do not have a striker who is consistent in scoring goals and in fact, so far this season Arsenal's top scorer is owned by Bukayo Saka who only plays as a midfielder. After all, Arsenal forwards such as Gabriel Jesus, Eddie Nketiah and Leandro Trossard also do not have a good goal record and therefore, it is natural that Arsenal still need better forwards.

But regarding the decline in position and performance experienced by Arsenal at this moment, I think it is a common result and usually experienced by Arsenal in the second half of the season. Because after all, from season to season very often Arsenal fail to maintain their performance. Therefore, then I cannot blame only about the forward players because yes, basically Arsenal have still failed to maintain their top position in the Premier League standings in recent seasons.
