Manchester City fell behind twice and eventually had to settle for a draw. It's a loss for them because Crystal Palace are not at their old strength, they should have won this game. Now they are out of the championship, they can't stay in the race. Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are opening the gap. It's difficult for them to come back in the league this season, they'd better focus on the Champions League. In the league they will play to win every game, but it's hard to have the motivation they had before. They had already been champions a lot in recent years, there was a saturation of success in the team.

This is a better result than losing, even though the opponent they face is a team that is at the bottom of the standings. Because even though in the previous match Manchester City was able to stop its series of defeats, but Manchester City has not really been able to return to its best performance. So it is unlikely that Manchester City can regain the top position in the near future.



On the other hand, the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United has ended, and Nottingham Forest emerged as the winner in this match with a narrow score of 3-2. Nottingham Forest played quite well in this match, although they did not dominate the match too much. Nottingham Forest only got 28% of the ball possession, but they were able to take advantage of every opportunity they got well. Nottingham Forest managed to stop Manchester United's steps to climb to the top 10.

Such a shame that Manchester United is one goal down at Old Trafford, although the match is still in first half.
I knew the match won’t be easy for Manchester United because Nottingham Forest has been performing well this season, and they have been losing some matches recently, so I know they will do everything possible to get a win against Manchester United, and we all know that Manchester United's performance has not been good this season, even with their new coach, we haven’t seen any serious improvement in their performance. The second half of the match is about to end, and currently Nottingham Forest is currently leading. I won’t be surprised if Nottingham Forest gets a win in the match, but I know the highest that Manchester United can get in the match is a draw.


Despite knowing that Nottingham Forest's performance is good this season, I still didn’t expect Manchester united to lose this game  to Nottingham Forest in old Trafford. The surprising part is that Manchester United couldn’t even manage to draw this game at Old Trafford and still conceded three goals. It was a very bad performance from Manchester United.

Now, I am starting to understand that Manchester United’s poor performances are not because of Ten Hag, it’s because of the players. The players are not really good enough  they just have world class player names. With the way Manchester United is performing currently, it will take this new coach time before he can return Manchester United to great form.Sometimes, it’s just confusing when I try to compare Manchester United players to those of smaller teams that manage to beat them.

Nottingham forest has been good sometimes now but lately, they are not that up to standard for Manchester United to lose this important match to especially when it's in Etihad, they have been inconsistent that's why Manchester City beat them in their last game when they visited Etihad, this was what Amorim was supposed to do too when they visit Old Trafford and they couldn't, just one job but they failed to deliver and I wonder if this is the right choice for the team.

You will wonder what's behind this Manchester United performance, Erik Ten Hag left and the team became the new thing in town when Ruud was appointed as the new coach but as soon as he left, they went back to the usual ways and that begs the question, is it the players fault or the coach at fault. I think the first one should be among, they need to be self motivated before anyone can motivate them unless it's necessary.

Manchester United are 13th on the table  after having back to back losses. Their possession in this game was very poor.I doubt Ruben Amorim will be able to get the job done in Manchester United with the formation he is using.  Three man defense didn’t work for Conte in Tottenham and he was sacked. What makes Amorim think he can succeed with this strategy in England. Manchester United will be playing Manchester City next, if they play a 3-man defense against City they will surely lose.

Such a shame that Manchester United is one goal down at Old Trafford, although the match is still in first half. This is a bad starting for Manchester United since they have a new coach and everything was expected to be an improvement. While typing they just got an equalizer from Rasmus Hojlund which means the game will be very interesting and will likely end in favour of United. At least this will be a huge relief on their fans that have been subjected to intense verbal attacks by supporters of Chelsea,  a usual banter that is prevalent in my area.

The same way they’re receiving banter from Chelsea fans was the same way they banter Chelsea when they were down in performance also. Manchester United are playing from Old Trafford and they need to win this game as much hope is on Amorim to get a win in this match. The match has far gone into the second half and Nottingham Forest are leading again. I don’t know what the outcome of this match will be but it seems it may likely end in a draw if Manchester United puts in more effort to get an equalizer in this game soon before the end of the match. Amorim’s game is yet to be utilized well as we don’t expect that Manchester United’s performance will be this tht we get to doubt their competency in each match. This is getting out of hand though, I hope Amorim gets to put things together before it gets worse for them.
The match ended as a loss for United, because they were unable to equalize the third goal caused by a careless defense. This is the first time that Nottingham Forest would win United in Old Trafford after thirty years. No record can be kept forever because someday it will be broken. Amorim needs to keep working tirelessly on his team for proper improvement.

Everton vs Liverpool Postponed Amid Storm Darragh Chaos

In a significant decision, the highly anticipated Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool has been postponed following advice from local authorities. The postponement comes after the Met Office issued a red warning for severe winds linked to Storm Darragh, with gusts expected to reach up to 70 miles per hour.

Storm Darragh’s Impact on Merseyside
Millions across the UK were alerted by government-issued warnings late on Friday, cautioning against travel disruptions and potential hazards. The storm’s early effects prompted Liverpool FC to urge fans to allow additional travel time to Goodison Park, where the match was initially set for a 12:30 pm kick-off on Saturday. However, worsening conditions led to a collaborative decision between both clubs, the Premier League, and local authorities to prioritise safety and reschedule the fixture.

Rescheduling Challenges for the Merseyside Derby
This postponement poses logistical challenges in a packed football calendar. Should Liverpool progress to the Carabao Cup semi-finals and maintain their Champions League campaign, the earliest potential dates for the match appear to be in mid-February. Options include midweeks on February 10/11 or 18/19, coinciding with Champions League play-off rounds. The latter date would come just days before Liverpool’s crucial Premier League clash with Manchester City, complicating preparations for Arne Slot’s side.

That's why the Premier League is regarded as the best league in the world. The way the English FA and local authorities in England look out for the safety and well-being of both clubs and supporters are second to none. This postponement is surely for the safety of all fans and the clubs in question. It's a merseyside derby and as such will see a lot of supporters in attendance. Cancelling the match was the right thing to do. I think other leagues should learn from this to avoid loss of lives like we saw recently in an African League. don't think this postponement will pose any form of logistical challenges for Arne Slot, Liverpool has a significant squad depth and quality of players to overcome any challenge this season.

Let love lead
Crystal palace put up a very impressive fight against Manchester city this evening and City narrowly missed being defeated in today's encounter. Manchester City was thought to have resurrected, but their inconsistencies continues. I was thinking Crystal palace would take advantage of the red card to win the match, but they couldn't.

Currently Manchester United is struggling to even secure a draw with Nottingham forest. Nottingham forest Forest scored twice under 7 minutes to lead the home team by two goals before they managed to reduce the margin to just one goal. Manchester United can only fight hard to secure a draw tonight as the forest boys are hell bent on disgracing them at their own home.

It all started with the many injured players in the Manchester City squad and that has made their performance really decline this season. The match against Crystal Palace is clearly difficult because the depth of Manchester City's squad is very unbalanced, even Pep Guardiola is not really sure about playing substitutes and rotating his main line-up because the reserve players are no better than the players on the field.

Rodri, Foden, Nathan Ake, Akanji and several others are not available for the match against Crystal Palace, so Pep Guardiola is really having a hard time finding a suitable replacement option. Luckily Manchester City still got 1 point at the end of the match even though they should have won the match after losing so many points in the previous few matches.

The season os is still early and I believe that Man City can still come back into the tittle race even if they're producing embarrassing results at the moment. The way I see it, Man City looks as if they are just watching and waiting on Arsenal, Liverpool and even Chelsea to enjoy their stint at the top four till they come and take over.
 Another failed attempt to take three points away and this is looking like it's going to become a trend if Pep Guardiola doesn't do something about it. In their last 9 games, they have lost six, drawn two and won just one which is a sad result for the kind of person Pep is.

Milenkovich did a great job securing the first goal at the very shortest time possible in just two minutes of the first half. That was such an incredible outing to knock the Red Devils down with an early goal in the Old Trafford. But it will be too early to finalize on the outcome of this game since Hojlund was able to do a comeback with a goal to cancel the effort of the Nottingham before the ending of the first half. Now we are at half time and no one's so certain about what's likely to transpire at the end of the game. I hope Amorim is able to redeem the match with not just a win, but a landmark achievement.

Score 2-2 until now, Man City tried their best to improve their performance in the previous matches which were very bad. 1 point is not bad for Crystal Palace, but hopefully they can maintain it.
I just can't say what Manchester City played today was actually their best, considering the fact that they have always been the most favorite to win, and suddenly started depreciating in terms of poor game performance in last previous matches. Because definitely, I never expected anything less than what they just played, considering the fact they have not been in good form lately, and lost several games, of which where only lucky to have won their last previous match against Nottingham forest.
Because if we are to analyze today's performance against Crystal Palace, we could noticed that Manchester City had 100% chance of winning the entire game, if only they had played a more defensive game from the start of the game, because it was obvious they had the most ball possession and shots on target. But the only thing they lacked was a strong defense squad.

The first half is over and the result is still 1-1. Manchester United missed some good opportunities that was supposed to be converted to a goal. Fernandez wonderful free kick hit the cross bar, if not that should have given United their second goal. Nottingham Forest didn't relent in this match as they took the lead early, and they also failed to take advantage of few chances that they had to score more goals. The second half will determine the winner of this game.

I think Liverpool will play struggle this time, they will get revenge on the bad results of the last match, they know what is wrong with the team, and they will improve tonight. This is also a derby match to determine who is the strongest in London. Yes, we know Everton won't let them win easily. The draw is possible, but I'm not sure about that because Salah is on fire right now, he's motivated by management to extend his contract, as well as other players, they really want Liverpool back on track. They are also hungry for the title, it's time to fix it all, because Manchester City's performance and another top premier league are not as good as their development.
The much-anticipated match some of us thought Liverpool would win today against Everton was postponed to a later date because of the storm, which brought about strong winds and heavy rainfall to the region(Goodison Park).

Talking about Liverpool, they are not experiencing any struggling moments in their matches. It's only last week they had a draw match to Newcastle, most of their matches in the Premier League and Champions League, have been won match for them. If they had played Everton today, we wouldn't find them struggling to win against Everton in an away match because Everton is not close to them in having a better performance this season.

Liverpool will play against Everton today at home and this match will be a sure win for Liverpool. We have seen that Liverpool can perform very well in every match, and they have been very excited since the beginning of the season. They have played well in the Champions League and Premier League everywhere, due to which they are at the top of the points table. If they win today's match against Everton, their point gap will be very big. Moreover, according to the betting odds of today's match, if you bet on Liverpool, you will definitely win. Since the bookies have confirmed the victory for Liverpool and have made their odds @1.48 and in the case of Everton @7.00, it is best to bet on Liverpool.

I don't have doubt toward Liverpool to win the game. This Merseyside derby is not gonna be an attractive game. They're peaking the league, have good morale, their player, Salah on fire, no injury and what? They obviously win the game.

As for the odds, 1.48 is pretty interesting though. I don't have any comments about Liverpool's odds. They will obviously win the game soon. The depth on their squad makes me feel so confidence to believe they will beat easily. Lastly, my prediction 4-0 Liverpool win.

The draw that City got was much better than having to swallow defeat, although Man City on paper was able to win this match but in reality it was difficult for Man City to get full points,
Manchester City players are slower this season than we know them to be, The time he takes them to recover the ball anytime they lose it is no longer than it was last season. Team rotation is not even helping pep this season because he has tried to rotate his team but the results are still very inconsistent. At this time in the season with the way it looks for Manchester City I think it will be in the best interest for Pep Guardiola to focus on trying to at least make champions league qualification next season because retaining the EPL title looks less likely with every game they drop points.
Amorim's boys are up against another test from Nottingham Forest players, two goals already, one each to both teams and it is just the first half.

Man City are still the ones sweating out pressure just to perform perfectly well but it seems this pressure will take a very long time before it could go off. Playing against Palace that have never been stable has made the home side to be a bit better. It seems things are gradually going back to how it used to be when they normally finish below the top 4, talking about City.
First half has been impressive coming from the host Crystal Palace but they need to convert any little opportunity that comes their way if not City are ready to capitalize on it, just as it happened when they lost the goal scoring opportunity before Haaland got the equalizer. Let's see how the second half will look like, Palace might be lucky to get a point in thie encounter against the champions.
Crystal Palace is a club that find it difficult to score goals in matches. -6 in GD and 16th position in the EPL table (included in bottom 5). This is a team that home or away Manchester City would win with a goal margin of 4 to 5 goal. Let's be honest here, City is still in deep shit. It will take them a long time to realize themselves and come out of this predicament. They were able to equalize before full-time. Lewis also took a red card in the end of the second half. These shows that Manchester City is still not yet back.

Manchester City next fixture is against Juventus in the UCL and on the 15th they it will be agaisnt Manchester United at Etihad. I have this strong feeling that Amorim will win the game on that day.
