The early kickoff game between Chelsea and Luton Town yesterday was epic and entertaining especially to neutrals as the club's five goals were scored in that encounter but it was also raised some worrying issues about Chelsea and how vulnerable their defense have been since the start of the season and in most times have caused them defeats. In game they first went three goals up, Chelsea still had to struggle in the closing minutes to grab all three points from the game.

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochentino really has a lot of work to do if he truly wants to make things work again. The team's defense is too porous and must be worked on

Chelsea's problems are not over yet and it's not just in defense but almost in all lines, but in this match Chelsea's front line played much better compared to the previous match, the 3 goals they managed to score in the first half made their performance even better. It's just that when the match entered the 80th minute and above Chelsea's game was in disarray and they had to concede 2 goals, luckily time ended soon otherwise the score in this match might have been different.

Currently, Mauricio Pochentino still has to work hard to improve the team's performance. This victory is indeed important for Chelsea, but their team's performance has not improved.

I remember watching them creating many chances but can't convert them into goals, or going 2-0 up then the opponent score 2 goals in the last 10 minutes such as against Arsenal. I think it should be expected, most of their players are young with a new coach. I'll wait and see at least a full season before judging whether Poccetino is the right man for the job or not. Still too early to tell as of now. A reactionary fanbase won't help their team grow, although I don't see most Chelse fans have the patience to wait a season or two without Champions League football. CMIIW.

Emery doesn't do well at top clubs like Arsenal or PSG, but at smaller clubs like Villereal or Aston Villa he does his job very well. I think that now everyone understands how important the coach is for the team and how important it is for the management to support the coach in what he does and we can see how play Aston Villa now.
I don't really get this sentiment. Did he fail because the club or fans are impatience or is it because he lacks the ability to do so? Judging from how you said this, I'd say management at the bigger clubs doesn't support him that much if he makes a mid-table team compete for the top 4 in the league table. Btw, I think you mean Man United instead of City. Ten Hag is not coaching KDB and his teammates.

This loss was on Ten Hag. One day he’ll explain the deal he has with Mctominay. Removing Mainoo for Mctominay which opened up their defensive frailties. What vexed me was that Nottingham Forest didn't have a clear cut chance until McTominay was introduced.
Erik Ten Hag surely is his own undoing. This is the same thing I have always pointed out for Ten Hag, exactly same way Manchester united concedes goals..
Attack from wing and cut back... nobody covering the spaces.
Manchester United conceded identical goals. Nobody defending spaces around the box.
With the way I’m seeing this Manchester United side, there is nowhere Ten Hag will take Man United to. With this coach honestly he is lost. He doesn’t know his selection team to play, too much changes or rotation of the team, and lack of playing style.

I won't be surprised if he truly has a deal with Mctominay because how on earth the manager decided to take out Mainoo who was protecting the defence line shock me like electric light. He brought in Scott who, like Bruno and Eriksen are all attacking midfielders and left the defensive midfield widely opened. Forest saw the gap and capitalized on it to score the two goals from the same spot.

It's now very obvious that Ten Hang is very poor at making changes. Why will he took off Mainoo who was playing the defensive midfield well and had contained the opponent's offensive moves and brought McTominay on? Both goals have been scored from positions that he was covering. He's absolutely the architect of his own downfall with non tactical decisions.

A bad result for MU, but not surprising I think. That's because MU's performance is inconsistent. they over-celebrated Aston Villa's stunning 3-2 win.
and now we see that when MU faces a weaker team, they also look overwhelmed.
Ten Hag may have no hope this season. and MU may have to make changes to its coaching squad and players next season.

This is the 9th defeat for Man United in EPL this season out of 20 matches. For sure this is a bad result for a team like Man United, they spent decent amount of money before this season started but it gives no good impact. I heard in my local sports news that they are not going to spend much money to buy new players in the upcoming window transfer, I'm not sure if it is true or not but it will be very unfortunate if they will not improve the squad. Ten Hag should have been sacked already imo and get a new better well experienced coach. Changing the coach is not enough of course because I think what they have now in the team can be said as the worst in the last decade.
We see together how Coach's influence is on the team. With Unai Emery, Aston Villa has risen to another level. Who knows what would have happened if he had managed Manchester United. Manchester United needs a good coach. Now Ten Hag has reached his patience limit. He lost almost half of his matches in the EPL.
Emery doesn't do well at top clubs like Arsenal or PSG, but at smaller clubs like Villereal or Aston Villa he does his job very well. I think that now everyone understands how important the coach is for the team and how important it is for the management to support the coach in what he does and we can see how play Aston Villa now.

However, a lot depends on the coach himself, because the Manchester United management also supported and supports Ten Hag, including when he kicked out players who did not understand what he was doing or just did not like him. Still, the coach must understand the limits of his responsibility, even when the management supports him, he should not abuse his power, because he will still have to play some part of the season with those players who were picked up by other coaches before him.

There were some surprise results in the last premier league matches of the year.Chelsea managed to defeat Luton Town 3-2 away.It was an advantage for Chelsea to close the first half ahead with 2 goals in the first half.Cole Palmer finished the match with 2 goals and 1 assist.Palmer was the one who won the point for Chelsea in the match.Chelsea got an important win in a match where Luton Town had as many positions.
Aston Villa won 3-2 against Burnley and closed the last match of the year with 3 points.Aston Villa won at home against Burnley with a dominant football against Burnley, Aston Villa played a better game than their opponent and deserved to win.If Burnley had not been down to 10 men, maybe we could have seen a different result because they managed to bring the situation to a draw despite being down to 10 men.Aston Villa lost the match with a penalty in the last minutes.

Man City is still not finished, they still have a chance to catch Liverpool at the top. The point difference can still be caught, Pep will probably give direction to score more goals when facing much weaker teams. Man City will not only be aiming for winning points, but they will also compete for more goals. sometimes it can help them when the competition at the top is very tough. However, Liverpool has also performed very well this season. it is not easy for Man City to defend him this season.
They managed to get full points in that match and now put Man City in third place in the standings with 40 points. This time the competition will be even more interesting where the top standings 1 and 2 both have 42 points, while standings 3 and 4 have a total of 40 points. Aston Villa is still in a positive trend even though they were previously defeated by Man United and in the last match they received fairly balanced resistance and in the end managed to get full points.

Man United lost again in last night's match, Erik Ten Hak's troops were forced to play less pressing because Nottingham Forest played quite solidly with their measured pressing. Erik Ten Hak must make changes immediately and if not I'm sure he will be fired by the management because the class of Nottingham Forest can beat them easily what if they face a much stronger team.

That is right, but when you check the statistics of the game, obviously Luton Town wasn't significantly worse than Chelsea, but they have been less efficient with their chances and that made the difference for the first 80 minutes of the game. However, once Luton was able to score their first goal, it was once again the same Chelsea as we have got to know it in the last weeks. They don't have the quality to bring that win home safely without any danger. It was close in the end and giving away a lead of three goals would have been catastrophic.
For the first half I actually didn't see a big difference from Luton because Chelsea tried to be better at dictating the game but for the second half there was a slight difference because Luton really played freely and without burden in front of their own supporters because they played home which made them want more results than having to lose quite heavily.
On the other hand, Chelsea made a little mistake with their caution especially at the crucial time which did make a little worry for me as a spectator Wink

The result is quite good Chelaea closed the half season with 2 consecutive wins for them and we just have to see if Pochettino can maintain this momentum in the current conditions that the EPL will break for 2 weeks because it could be a pause like this is beneficial or it will be detrimental to Chelsea because their momentum is a little lost in the end.

Tottenham vs Bournemouth.
Bournemouth are in very good shape the last five games are unbeaten and Tottenham are making a comeback but the defeat to Brighton is quite detrimental to what is being built.
This is very likely to be an even match and even though Tottenham is the favorite home team, it is Bournemouth who made a surprise by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford and that is a big win for Bournemouth, who are only in the middle of the standings, but still have a surprising chance of beating the home team.
Both teams score goals quite often so betting on BTTS is good enough to make a profit.

Although Bournemouth are not a strong team, though they have won their last four matches. And now the team is safe from the relegation zone. They have beaten big teams like Newcastle and Manchester United. Bournemouth managed to draw the match with Aston Villa. So this team cannot be underestimated today.

Tottenham will have to play well if they want to win the match. If they don't perform well, I don't see their chances of winning. Tottenham lost 3-2 in their last home match against Bournemouth. However, Tottenham have won three of the last five matches. Bournemouth's forwards are now quite strong. So if Tottenham want to get 3 points in today's match, Tottenham's defense has to be strong today.

Luton Town was no worse in this game, but the difference was that Chelsea made use of their chances more efficiently obviously and were able to take a three goal lead. I think it is never easy to come back when you are three goals down of course, but it was fun to see how Luton Town got back into the game and was really close to equalizing the game. Damn I wonder what would have happened with Pochettino if Chelsea wasted those three points in this game after that huge lead. Maybe he would have gotten into trouble this weekend.

Pochettino will undoubtedly face difficulties if Chelsea lose the three points, in fact, I'll go so far as to call them the worst team of the season. The only thing that kept Chelsea from losing the game was that they had the chance to lead with three goals, otherwise, things might have gone very wrong for them. Chelsea is still developing and lacks defensive strength, if not Luton wouldn't have scored two goals after Chelsea had taken a three goal lead, the game would not have ended well for them. Although Luton is in the relegation zone, but that doesn't imply they are weak, they played really well against Chelsea. However, they were unable to score first, and it was never simple to bounce back from a three goals loss.

In order for Pochettino's team to advance, they must win their upcoming games. Chelsea's standing in the Premier League continues to surprise me; regardless of the outcome of their games win, lose, or draw they will always finish in the top ten. I'm not sure if this is because of their improved play or if they are still getting out of form.

Chelsea has been comfortable since the first half by scoring 3 goals and Luton Town scored 2 goals in the second half in the 80th and 87th minutes meaning the Chelsea players lost concentration towards the final minute or maybe they underestimated Luton so they did not anticipate any attack. However this match goes, the most important thing is the final result and Chelsea getting 3 points, now Chelsea is in 10th place yeah these teams are in the middle of the standings and compete with each other to take a place in the European league.
In the second half it seemed Luton and Chelsea were playing for the title, not just an ordinary match. Emotions were running high and if it wasn't for Petrovic it's still unclear whether Chelsea would have managed to hold on for the win or not, because the shot under the crossbar from Luton, which should have been a goal, he somehow got and prevented a goal and generally gave confidence to his players.

Chelsea probably deserved to win, but you have to give credit to Luton, they did not give up and played until the last second. In general, Luton Town is the storm of all the big clubs and score to all and Liverpool and Arsenal and all the rest.

Tonight defeat made Manchester United's appearance even worse in the Premier League standings.
The Manchester United players could not take advantage of the opportunity of 10 additional minutes in the second half to win again in tonight's match.

The consistency of the players makes Arsenal continue to adhere to maintaining competition in the English league standings, so thanks to Rodri's goal in the 14th minute, the players are even more enthusiastic about adding to their second goal which in the end can be maximized by the player named
Julian Alvarez in the 61st minute.

Manchester United managed to get only 4 points in the last 4 weeks. This situation caused them to fall further behind in the leadership rankings day by day. When Brighton and Newcastle's missing matches are completed, Manchester United may fall to 9th place.
It was a very critical win for Nottingham Forest. These 3 points they earned will be very useful to get away from the relegation zone Smiley
Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United yesterday to move to the 15th position in the Premier League table and ease the pressure on Steve Cooper getting sacked by Nottingham Forest management. Manchester United was not good enough against Nottingham Forest, Manchester United only got 10 goal attempts in the whole of the 90th minute played.

Fulham Vs Arsenal
Today, Fulham face Arsenal at Craven Cottage. Fulham have lost three matches in a row, especially the 2-0 defeat at home to Burnley last time, which gave them a big blow. Arsenal have a golden opportunity today to go top of the points table but they already got this opportunity at home. Especially at home on Thursday, Arsenal missed the opportunity to go top of the table with a 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham. Whether Arsenal can return to the top is a little questionable as Arsenal have won just two of their last six away matches. But I think Arsenal can come back and win the match 2-1.
If we predict according to the last 5 matches, Arsenal will be ahead. However, on 10 December, Fulham won a match against West Ham 5–0, while on 28 December, Arsenal lost the match 2–0 to West Ham. We cannot consider Fulham weak in this condition. But Arsenal will surely not want to miss their chance especially in this position. They lost the last match and missed the chance to go top and if they lose today they will be far behind. I think Arsenal will win today's match 3-1.

I agree with you. Arsenal lost 2-0 against West Ham in the last match. I wouldn't say Arsenal's performance was bad. I saw the match. Arsenal dominated the entire match. Attacked a lot. But they could not score any goals. West Ham, on the other hand, attacked very little. They were cunning. Finds weaknesses in Arsenal's defense and scores two goals.

Arsenal are favorites against Fulham today. But they must be strategic. Otherwise there is a possibility of losing points like last match. Not only attacking, coach Arteta has to identify the weak points of the opponent and make a match strategy accordingly. Arsenal is a strong team. If the match strategy is good, they will easily win against Fulham.

Anyway, there are new facts about Antony because in his 33 matches during 2023, he was only able to score 1 goal for Manchester United and he was one of the worst recruits ever during Erik Ten Hag's time. Cheesy

No doubt manchester united was willing to swap him for kubo from sociedad caused by antony was a flop. He was not a good winger and what he can do is only being so clueless when he was dribbling the ball. It seems ten hag was also very upset with him.
Antony, who is known for his freestyle skills, has been participating in numerous games for United. However, despite his impressive displays, he has only managed to score one goal in 33 matches. I may be nominating him as the worst winger if theer will be a nomination for the worst player in the football.
Manchester united is getting scammed by buying him with non sense price. Antony, who is a garbage winger, demonstrates an inability to contribute effectively to the game. There will be no club interesting to sign him as a new winger. This is the fact.

Im wondering how much price for him right now. His price shall be decreasing a lot and my prediction if antony is worth around 30 millions. Manchester united is not lucky to have him being a part of club. Ten hag needs to sell him as soon as possible.
ten hag is also losing his trust for him caused by poor performance from antony.There are many MU fans are always mocking him too. The unlucky moment of antony to pick united as his new club.

Arsenal need to be careful, even though against Fulham it doesn't mean they can easily secure 3 points. Because recently Premier League clubs need to be a little wary of the games of lower level clubs which can always surprise their opponents. So it is possible that Fulham will make it a little difficult for Arteta troops to overcome their game.
There is no doubt things are going miserable in this season with few teams are doing from bad to worse and few are having bad to impressive in last three games Fulham fail to score any goal with having 3 defeats but before these defeats they hammered West Ham at home by 5–0 which is really amazing stuff now Arsenal which is coming out of having just 4 points from their last 4 matches and now slipped from top to fourth now having good chance for the recovery and jump above at the third spot with this win, but they have never underestimated Fulham which is surely dangerous side and can give them surprise as well at home.

Derbies never been easy which are surely had pressure and after few bad results things need to be change hopefully, we will have all three points for the Gunners, and they will fight back at right track after these few poor weeks.

This is the 9th defeat for Man United in EPL this season out of 20 matches.

Ten Hag should have been sacked already imo and get a new better well experienced coach. Changing the coach is not enough of course because I think what they have now in the team can be said as the worst in the last decade.

I think, Manchester united performance is very poor in this season because they have be finding it difficult to improve but they have failed in some matches that is still making their points so low in the premier league table. I thought Manchester united can maintain the equalized 1-1 in the second half so that they can share points with Nottingham forest but the match turned for the favour of Nottingham forest 2-1 to defeated Manchester united despite the effort. I know that Ten Hag will not pass this season before he will be sack, because his performance this season show that he will not take Manchester united to a better position with this current performance.
Nothingham Forest took their only 2 shots on goal utilized it well while credit goes to Turner Nottingham Forest goalkeeper who made two brilliant saves from Eriksen and Fernandes which could have changed the scoreline had they scored their goals respectively, however Nothingham Forest deserved the win, I also commended Elanga former Man Utd attacker who was played brilliantly well provided an assist and was awarded Player of the match, Erik ten Hag job is now at stake  because of team poor performance the club had been defeated four times this month in addition to all the other defeats and there is no any sign of improvement by the team.

Truth be told I think the reason behind the poor performance of Manchester United today was because they underestimated Nottingham Forest because of their position in the league, United come back result in their previous game against Aston Villa should have been a big morale booster for them but I think it affected their performance since they couldn't have a good performance against a team like Forest. Erik Ten hag isn't a good man for the United team so I think he needs to leave the team if he can't win teams that have no history against United.
In my opinion, the match between Nottingham Forest and Man United was an unnecessary defeat for Erik Ten Hag but the result was certainly surprising. The first half was a bit boring but after entering the second half the  intensity of the game increased quite a lot  and they were able to attack each other. In terms of quality Man United has that but the mentality of the players on the field is a big  problem for this club. After half a  season  at Man United Andre Onana has conceded almost 45 goals. This is  a fantastic number  to be used as a reference  that this is the  wrong choice of goalkeeper. This defeat was the gift of the year for Erik Ten Hag and Man United  the cycle of winning  was only fleeting and then followed by successive defeats.

This season Manchester United looks very bad in terms of performance. I thought a win against Aston Villa would have a positive impact on being able to bounce back and win the next match, but my guess was wrong because they were not able to give their best in last night's match against Nottingham Forest. I saw that in this match Manchester United lost possession of the ball against Nottingham Forest, therefore there were a lot of threats and attack pressure from Nottingham Forest on the Manchester United defense. In the end, Manchester United lost with a final score of 2-1 against Nottingham Forest.
That's right, Ten Hag should be fired as coach, because he didn't make a very good contribution to the squad in the strategy he implemented this season. Manchester United management must immediately find a replacement for Ten Hag and buy new players, in order to change the formation for better squad development in the future.

Many things are currently related to Manchester United as they are having most defeats in top half of the league table and also score least goals as well which is clearly indicating attack and defense both are not working as they need to work players are not having depth and their chemistry is also not ideal which bring positive results, and they are playing like garbage in this season.

After Aston Villa result mostly, we were feeling now they are back and having good change, but suddenly they are down and out against team like Nottingham now we have one week break in Premier League which can bring some better strategy for the next game which is against Tottenham, and this could be not easy as they are also struggling but doing better than Manchester United and try to steal the game.

Spurs vs Bournemouth could be an interesting and unpredictable match... Spurs can not continue to play well after leaving the first place in the standings... Bournemouth have very good away match statistics... In the last five away matches they scored 12 goals... I think that today will also be a lot of goals...
