But I think you mistakenly believe that Liverpool's strategy was about total dominance. It wasn't because Klopp doesn't play like Guardiola. But Liverpool plays a counterpressing tactic that begins with their attacking line. As soon as they lose the ball, all lines do keep their positions and attack forward into the opponent lines all at once. This makes it extremely hard for the opponent to get out of their half and often leads to losing the ball again within seconds. That looks like Liverpool is dominating the game similar to how Manchester City does it with ball possession because they often have the ball, but the approach is different to getting the ball. Liverpool is about getting it back as quickly as possible and instead try to attack as often as possible with higher risk whereas Manchester City is about keeping the ball as much as possible and being more patient, perhaps at the cost of having less attempts. But I agree that it's very much fun again to watch Liverpool play.

It is difficult to bring coordination inside the squad and that is what Chelsea is lacking right now. Pochettino really needs to work around the team a lot. The team is lacking a lot on team spirit level. Their squad are full of capable players but yet they are unable to perform given the team they have. I think from next game Nkunkunu will feature from the start and maybe things will change, but well let's see.

Poor performance after wasting a lot of money for Chelsea at the moment and a change of coach which has no effect at all on Chelsea game Of course it deserves to be evaluation by management , being in 10th place in the standings from 18 matches is not something that Chelsea fans are expecting at this time and I think it's time for fans to start speaking to Chelsea management, the current question is, why does Chelsea  management continue to retain Pochettino after it has been proven that he is unable to improve Chelsea performance? , I think with Chelsea current poor performance and also the large amount of money that has been spent on players, I dare I guarantee that if Chelsea still belonged to Abramovich, of course Pochettino would immediately be kicked out of Stamford Bridge, but strangely the current owner of Chelsea still quite believes in Pochettino.

I can't predict this match, because both clubs are unreliable now, maybe the match will end in a draw.
But for both clubs they must see each other's shortcomings and want to beat each other. And for both clubs this is an easy opponent considering their positions are close together at the bottom of the table.
When looking at the standings in the Premier League, the competition at the top and bottom is always interesting, that's what makes the competition in the Premier League competitive and interesting for us to follow. Unlike other leagues where the competition is only dominated by a few clubs and that honestly makes the league competitive for big clubs only.

They have good players but as a manager, if you don't make a move to strengthen the bond between the players, the players don't get along and don't pass the ball to each other.This is a team that has experienced this in its time and if Pochettino wants a winning streak, he should start with the players first.He should have a conversation with the players and say clearly that this is what I want.He should not give a place in the squad to players who will not do this.

Newcastle at home is too strong to play against. Hosting Nottingham Forest indeed provides Newcastle with a favorable setting to win. Newcastle supporters are known the loudest at St. James. Park that will give a significant role in football matches, because that's often boosting a their confidence and performance. The support of the home crowd, familiarity with the pitch, and the comfort of playing in familiar surroundings can contribute to the home side winner.

Nottingham Forest who are currently struggling near the relegation zone has the potential to offer tough resistance. Teams who are fighting to stay clear of relegation often display a heightened level of determination and resilience. I think Nottingham Forest will approach the game with a defensive mindset and a willingness to put up a strong fight with setpiece situation will be their best chances.

Nottingham Forest have a real chance of winning the game because Newcastle are doing badly at the moment.Maybe we can attribute the fact that they are doing so badly despite a better start to the season to a lack of rotation.If Nottingham Forest win away, it could be seen as a great success for them.Maybe they can recover and aim for the top after winning this game.

Honestly, I think that if Pochettino's wishes are followed in the transfer window, I think he will at least complete the season. The management of the team would like to see how he will manage the team with the players he wants. Maybe this time he will do more than his best to get the team up and into the top 5.

Chelsea were only able to win six matches from 18 games that have been played in the Premier League, four draws and eight defeats. Getting more defeat than winning is certainly not an achievement that needs to be proud of, even though Chelsea have built a team with a sum of money spent to bring in players in the transfer market. He has been provided with quality players but still has difficulty giving victory to Chelsea, the last defeat experienced by Chelsea at Wolves headquarters indicates Pochettino is unable to carry out the task of being a Chelsea coach.

They lost to Luton Town? Then, I believe they'll lose to  Nothingham Forest tommorow who have newly signed Nuno Esprito Santos the former Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverampton manager.
They have also seen improvements and I'm sure they'll get them first win under the manager against Newcastle United tomorrow.

To much of the lamentations from the Blues ( Loosers ) they should have taken the lead in the first half if the self centered Raheem Sterling had scored that goal or tossed the ball for his teammates to score.
I want to see if Chelsea would give Pochetino time again in them second half of the season.

Chelsea had nearly 2.00 xG but still couldn't score their second goal. They scored their only goal barely in the last moments thanks to Nkunku. This is his first goal for Chelsea by the way. It is good to see him starting to contribute this quickly because Chelsea could really make use of his contribution these days. Even that didn't help Chelsea to win against Wolves here though.

Chelsea have a really serious defensive problems this season and they still can't make progress. Pochettino should think about this in January and find a way to solve it. Maybe with a transfer or a tactical change but he had better be quick about that.

In the league where 2 teams stand out as relegation candidates, we can actually see this match as a very important match for both teams.Although it is more important for the hosts, it will be just as effective to win for Luton Town.Sheffield, who managed to get 1 point from Aston Villa away, will host Luton Town, who defeated Newcastle.I think we will watch a match where both teams will have a high chance of scoring goals.I think we can see an open football. It could be a high scoring game or it could be a complete barren affair.

In my opinion, Newcastle is relatively wide open to get full points in this match because they are the hosts, and apart from that what we need to know is that Nottingham Forest as the visiting team also came in with a poor performance.
And hosting Nottingham Forest will be a big opportunity for Newcastle to rise, but this is not an easy match for Newcastle because Nottingham Forest is struggling to stay away from the relegation zone.
It looks like Nottingham has the potential to provide tough resistance to Newcastle, and this will be an interesting match.

Chelsea actually played quite well and dominated the match, it's just that they wasted some of the good opportunities they got. The striker does have the task of scoring goals, but if in a situation his teammates have a better position to score goals, then he should be able to put his ego aside and choose to make an assist. I think Wolves deserved the win because even though they lost possession of the ball, Wolves had pretty good teamwork (One thing that Chelsea might take for granted).

I was also surprised because at the start of the season they bought many world class players, I expected that they would at least be able to compete at the top of the standings. I don't know where Chelsea went wrong so even though they have recruited expensive players but in the end they all performed very badly. Their performance last season was the worst I have ever seen because they finished in 12th place in the standings. Currently Chelsea is ranked 10th in the standings but if they are not able to solve this problem I think the results at the end of this season will be even worse.

Pochettino is now in serious situation with injuries to some of his key players like Fernández, Cucurella, Robert Sánchez, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, W. Fofana while Palmer and Sterling are out on disciplinary ground though their next match is against Crystal Palace which I believe is winnable game if Pochettino did the needful by utilizing and managing his fit players since the match would be played at Stanford Bridge that is another advantage for the blues a win would ease some pressure off Pochettino'who had received a lot of criticism lately for the inconsistency of the team despite the huge investment on the club by Todd Boehly.

Tomorrow, Newcastle United will host Nottingham Forest at home in the first match of the day.When we look at the meetings between the two teams, the matches have been goal-scoring matches and both teams have been able to score goals against each other in general.I think it is possible that Newcastle will see a goal in this match while Newcastle has a bad going graph and form.Points from such matches will be very important for Nottingham forest to at least get out of the relegation pot.I wonder if the away team, which has been struggling to win for a long time, will be able to get points.

The score was 2-1 and despite our defeats, Christopher Nkunku scored his first goal and was determined to equalize but got denied in the last minutes. Disappointing and frustrating faces on Blues fans because their expectations was caught short and they couldn't net a goal to secure a win for Chelsea. Perhapes they're 10th position on the table and there's certainly everything upside down with the Blues especially against mediocre clubs. Chelsea lost because they couldn't get a hold of the golden opportunities they created against Wolves and that led them to concede two goals and before they could fight back to an epic comeback, there was totally strong formidable defendlines drawn by the home team.

I don't get it when you said the goal Nkunku scored means nothing to Chelsea. If he had scored the second goal I believe you won't have been saying what you saying, the player came back strong and I believe he'd do better than some players who came back from injury of such duration. I don't feel Jackson should be playing as a number 9 and some Chelsea fans sees him as a top 9.
I wish Pochettino would play him ahead of Sterling and the up front should be Jackson at the right or left, Broja as the top 9 and Nkunku at the left or right flank. That's just what Chelsea needs right now, something different and powerful, and for the record Jackson is a winger not a number 9.
If Pochettino wants to win the next game I think he should start Nkunku, let him be the supplier of the ball because as it is Chelsea are lacking someone to distribute the ball, someone who's flexible and not selfish with the ball.
Sterling is a good player and sometimes players don't really know when to make that quick decision when facing the goal keeper, I won't blame him on that chance he missed when it was 3 against 1, such a thing has happened to the best player in the world so let's not use his mistake to judge him after all he has been the one making things happen to Chelsea (positively) and even being the man of the match in some games .

Even this season I don't consider Chelsea to be at their best throughout the game although there were some situations where they won and had momentum but still in the end they returned to their original form.

Honestly there is something wrong in this because if you look at the statistics that happen in every match that Chelsea do, the actual possession they always seem to be far superior but they seem unable to return a quick counterattack because their defense always helps the attack and sometimes gets delayed to return to its position. Other than that, there are a few things to look out for in the current poor attacking lineup as well. Chelsea until now did not have a good finisher and sometimes only always relied on Palmer who could indeed be placed anywhere but this backfired on themselves when Palmer could not do much because it was tightly guarded then Chelsea automatically got stuck even though some of their players had a level of damage in the opponent's defense which was quite good only because of the poor productivity of goals this actually affected them.

Chelsea really can't be expected this season, they haven't performed well in several matches. Indeed, if from the start you expect something good but it doesn't match your expectations, it's really annoying. I also saw that in this match their attacking players didn't take advantage of it well so many good opportunities were wasted, they should have won this match, because in possession of the ball they were very dominant but failed to do everything. Actually, Nkunku was played by Pochettino in this match, but what makes me confused is why he wasn't played from the start of the match, why he was only played in the middle of the second half. Mudryk's game is indeed very good, but Mudryk is still adapting to Chelsea's playing pattern and it looks like it will take a long time so Pochettino will still replace him in this match. Maybe I also think the same as you, if Nkunku and Mudryk are played from the start of this match they will definitely be very good starters in attack, giving Chelsea a very big chance to win this match, because the opponent is not too difficult.
