I meant having osimhen or roney will NOT solve the problem owned by chelsea. We do know so well if the main problem was on how difficult the club to scoring. Chelsea has some strikers but these strikers lack of experience. They don't even know how to get a good positioning during the game.
They are being so wasteful with any chances. I have seen it many times if there was no striker once its winger was sending the ball. I think that chelsea shall stop to waste more money. The club needs to make sure they can fix the main problem.

The blues got a very good achievement after it was beating newcastle through penalty. Newcastle has officially out from carabao cup after it was also out of UCL as well. This is not a good season for newcastle.
The blues need to hear some suggestions before trying to get a new striker. The current striker was so garbage and we can't deny that. Jackson and broja have very poor performance.

Chelsea needs to fix the main problem, and that is on the chemistry between the players. The blues needs to find the problem first.

Chelsea currently are in a situation where they're just shaky in performance. They're not even consistent positively and they've got lots of work to do. They're not in the top 10 spots of the EPL this season and it's very much bad because they were once a team that was dreaded in the leagues. They've had better performances in past seasons than they do now. At this moment, their victories are more or less tagged as a lucky run through.
Congratulations to them on their advancement to the semi finals of the EFL cup yesterday from their penalty shoot out victory over Newcastle.

It was a lucky win from a later equalizer and really the fault of the Chelsea side are general. Up till now, the club doesn't have a standing first squad, the coach keeps experimenting strategies at the expense of the clubs progress in the league. I don't know if they'll be able to meet up the top 4 spot by the end of the season but they really just have to, if not it'll mean two seasons without an appearance at European tournaments.

There's still a lot of game to be played but the performance of Manchester City is not improving but going on a downturn. Football is all about the team sports.
And when Manchester City is not able to save a 2 goals lead in it's own home against a team like Crystal Palace, no miracles are coming if there's not a change.
I'm not quite a fan of Manchester City as in modern times, they were never as strong till arabs bought every good players, yet they have some capable individual players and an excellent coach, Pep Guardiola, that I respect. I'd be happy to see old school teams like Arsenal and Liverpool win the league this time.

It looks like Arsenal and Liverpool will continue to dominate this season if no other team can be as consistent as them until the end of the season. Because the two teams now look increasingly fierce in terms of competition, there will be quite a tough and thrilling match this week at Liverpool's home ground. The Liverpool vs Arsenal match this week looks like it will be difficult to predict because both of them will definitely use their respective abilities to be in first place after the match is over. Meanwhile for Manchester City, it looks like they have to make several changes in order to restore their true performance this season.

Man United fans that are thinking of some needed changes or reinforcements in the next transfer window should lower their expectations. The COO has already stated that the club won't be busy since they don't want to be hit with more penalties for violating the Financial Fair Play. I guess fans will just have to endure and wait for the recovery of key players hehe.

After all, even if for example Manchester United brings in several new players in the transfer market later but ya, of course it will still take time for new players to adapt. Therefore, bringing in new players will also still not fully guarantee for Manchester United to recover quickly . What's more, the Premier League competition this season has become very difficult and even, teams as good as Manchester City have also experienced a decline in performance at this moment.

So yes, if Manchester United intend not to sign players because of concerns about financial fair play then ya, of course it will be the right reason for Manchester United not to sign more players in the transfer window later . Therefore, indeed, it is an obligation for Erik ten Hag to also work better to restore Manchester United's performance with his selected players.

I do not actually understand the excuse of financial fair play. How many players did they buy that will warrant the implementation of the fair play rule. I thought in the last window, Manchester United sold some players like Antony Elanga, Fred, Da Gea and so. If it is that important, they can sell some other players like Martial, Rashford, Malacia and some others and get in new blood.

I am very sure that if Erik Ten Hang continues with what he has, he will see nothing close to top 4 this season. He needs players and especially good wingers and defenders who will be consistent throughout the season.

Talking about new players taking time to adapt to the team, has old players who have been there adapted to the team?

Manchester City have won the EPL, the Champions League and the FA Cup. The team spent a lot of effort to make this treble. So this season, they will most likely save their energy for rebuilding. And City will most likely focus on winning the Champions League. I expect Manchester City to recover for next season and they will once again fight for the championship in the EPL.

Losing a lot of energy this season is not an obstacle for them to continue playing consistently. At least the chemistry must be maintained by all the Manchester City players, even though they have not dominated all the matches this season, at least they can get a trophy this season for the title race this season, it looks like Manchester City still have the opportunity to achieve it, even though sometimes they lose consistency in every match or the players experience fatigue in some of their important matches, as defending champions this season.

Before the season ends, Manchester City always has the chance to win the League. Their performance this season raises some doubts about their success like last season, they dropped too many points in the last few games to leave them far behind the top of the standings. Arsenal and Liverpool are still very consistent in maintaining their performance, Aston Villa is also starting to provide competition in the top four.
The new strength that Aston Villa has formed makes them a dark horse team that is ready to beat big teams. Manchester City has also experienced Aston Villa's ferocity this season. As teams increase in strength this season, such as Liverpool, which is starting to enter the title race, Manchester City's chances are getting smaller, especially since recently they have not been able to maintain their performance.

There's still a lot of game to be played but the performance of Manchester City is not improving but going on a downturn. Football is all about the team sports.

So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot be denied that Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.

It is still too early to say that Pep Guardiola has failed to bring Man City to the Premier League title this season because he still has many games left. Pep Guardiola's arrival at Man City brought many changes and became a team that was quite taken into account, so failing to bring Man City to the championship does not mean that Pep Guardiola should just be thrown away. The only reason he left was because his contract might end and he might plan to coach another club as a new challenge.

Losing De Bruyne has had quite a big impact on Man City because he is one of the players with a fairly high level of creativity in the team in building attacks. Apart from that, De Bruyne is also one of the players who often scores goals amidst the deadlock of several front players such as Haaland.

Manchester City's current form I believe they have lost the Premier League trophy this season because of the key player De Bruyne's injury, which has caused them to lose form like last season, because before De Bruyne's injury Manchester City were playing well and everyone believed they would still win the trophy, but I am very sure Guardiola will not win the Premier League title this season. I believe Arsenal or Liverpool will win the league, but I believe on Liverpool most because arsenal like to fuck up in some games and they are playing with Liverpool this weekend, the match will be very tough because both of them are in good form and no one wants to lose the game, I think the match will end in a draw because if Liverpool makes a mistake and loses, Arsenal will get the opportunity to top the league table, and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to top the premier league table again.

Even if Manchester City is unable to win the English Premier League and also fails to win the Champions League trophy, the coach is not going to be fired if they finish in a respectable position. Because we have to remember that a coach is not there for just one or two seasons. And a coach always has long term plans with his team. So he has to be given enough time to execute his plan properly. If they change the coach often, it is not going to be good for the team and the results are also going to be inconsistent. Pep is currently trusted by Manchester City. And I think it is going to stay that way.

Manchester United fans will be very disappointed that the club has no plan to boast its squad with new players. The club's performance has been very poor and the fans have suffered so much heartbreak. The comments of the chief operating officer of the club Collette Roche have dampened the hope of the fans when he said that the club is more focused on summer windows. There are also reports that close to five players might be sold in January. The club could still buy new players if it can be able to balance its account. If a club can balance the account of incoming and outgoing players they will be able to avoid Financial Fair Play sanctions. But I think that Manchester United is a club that has the potential to compete for the EPL title. I wouldn't underestimate them, at least Chelsea is a glary example.

then what about Manchester City, they are becoming more and more worrying day by day and are very far from their usual performance like at the start of the season, they are losing a lot of points, and yesterday's match they only got one point against Crystal Palace because the match ended in a draw, Guardiola's squad couldn't added more goals, and ended with a score of 2-2.

but it is reported that KDB and Erling Haaland are ready to return to the field because they can be said to have recovered from their injuries, and is it possible that with this Manchester City can return to the top of the standings?

There isn't much to say about it, and there's no guarantee they'll return to the top of the league. After the players return, they will still have to go through the process of recovering themselves back in the field, which can be the most difficult part of it all. Long periods of inactivity always have an impact on a player's performance when they returns to the pitch. With the way the top teams are performing, there is no guarantee that they will return to the top of the table so easily, even with their entire squad back. All I can say is that the way they lost points to small teams will not happen again, and they will try to minimize how they lose points to those smaller teams.

You cannot say the way they lost point to small teams will not happen again, this is football anything is possible to happen, those teams you call small clubs are the hurdles you need to get pass through before winning the league, last season their losses and draws weren't that much at this point in time of the season, even with return of KDB into the squad, it will not automatically make them spring up into winning ways, it will take time and that time it will take other clubs too like arsenal are tightening their loopholes.

Your right buddy. This is football and i have never seen a sport that predicting what will happen is difficult as football. Right now we may see Manchester City down on performance, Losing to smaller teams, drawing to big clubs as well yet at the end they may still be the winner of the league. We have only gone 40% in the league completion. There are still lots of matches to be played and if Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa do not take guide. Manchester might go to the top. Anything that makes Manchester City top the league table, certainly they will win the league.

Man City's condition without Haaland and De Bruyne is quite worrying. Especially after Haaland was absent for several weeks after suffering a minor injury. But I am sure that when Haaland and De Bruyne return to playing and recover from injuries, Man City will gradually improve and return to better performance. But I'm not too sure whether Man City will return to the top of the standings. Because if Liverpool and Arsenal continue to get good results for the rest of this season then both teams will definitely be able to maintain their position between 2nd and 1st place. Unless Arsenal and Liverpool start to lose their consistency this season then maybe Man City can return to the top standings.

Manchester City have won the EPL, the Champions League and the FA Cup. The team spent a lot of effort to make this treble. So this season, they will most likely save their energy for rebuilding. And City will most likely focus on winning the Champions League. I expect Manchester City to recover for next season and they will once again fight for the championship in the EPL.

Losing a lot of energy this season is not an obstacle for them to continue playing consistently. At least the chemistry must be maintained by all the Manchester City players, even though they have not dominated all the matches this season, at least they can get a trophy this season for the title race this season, it looks like Manchester City still have the opportunity to achieve it, even though sometimes they lose consistency in every match or the players experience fatigue in some of their important matches, as defending champions this season.

This season is a big challenge for Manchester City because every club that they played or will be playing will come up with their best performance to make sure that they can win City because they are the defending champion. This means that City was suppose to even play better than last year because no club will underate City when they are playing against them.

That is one of the problem City is facing. Another thing is that Dundogan is no longer in City as he is now in Barca, he also contributed a lot last season to City's victory. De bruyne is on injury and Halaad cannot display his scoring skills because he cannot do with De bruyne to score many goals. The club is weak and they have a tough season, this makes me feel that they might not be able to win the big competitions.

It will be unwise for the president of Manchester city to start thinking negative of the Manchester city coach, in the person of pep Guardiola simply for losing the trophy a few times when he has also won the trophy consistently for several times, he should know that, there was never a time Manchester city alone will continually keep winning the trophy like they are the only team or club in the premiere league.

If there is one thing that makes happy for the season's Premier league tournament, it's the fact that Manchester city is not going to win, Arsenal is my favorite club, and I hope they win it, but even if they don't end up winning it, and another club does aside Manchester city, I will still be very happy.

Yeah I agree with you on the unwise ness from the Manchester city management if they have chosen to blame the current condition of the club on the coach, because of just a few back within this period in the premiere leagues and even the championship also, because as a matter of fact, the club have reign long enough on the top list of the leagues and if at this first stage of the leagues their failed out, what is needed of them is to encourage both the coach and the players to deliver more in the next round, although Manchester city being on the 4th position on the table is something that will definitely border the club owners, but then, they should learn from clubs like Chelsea who were not able to manage the crisis and it escalated beyond control when Chelsea management sacked so many coach's and that went a long way to affects the club performance for a long time.

So for sure let the management of Manchester City take such as a lesson and try to work on their team to achieve greater success in the next round more than they did in this round, to be able to reclaim their fading glory as a two-time title holders.

Could the Manchester City saga be coming to an end? Manchester had been playing great for a few seasons under Pep Guardiola. They started this season very well, but could not continue. Manchester City is far from the top after losing points in a row. I guess this year won't be their year. I expect a race between Arsenal and Liverpool.

It's still difficult to predict in my opinion because there are still at least 21 matches that could possibly change the standings and the point difference between Manchester City and Arsenal is only five points so there are still opportunities open for the five teams in the top five in my opinion.
However, if they fail to defend the title this season, it won't be too surprising because competition in the English Premier League is always tight and Manchester City has won three times in a row, and the English Premier League is not like the Bundesliga where the league championship is won by the same team for a decade, there will be other teams who can become champions in this league, the only question is whether if they fail will it be a sign of a change in the power map in the English Premier League? and maybe we will see changes in head coach at Manchester City.

So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot be denied that Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.

We no that Manchester city is not going to win this trophy in this season based on some strong teams ahead of them currently but it will not affect Manchester city coach, but it will make their president to begin to think negatively by start searching for another coach that will take over from him when the mistakes become much next season. I know Pep Guardiola has did a great work that Manchester city will live to celebrate his eefforts by helping the team to became consistency winning in the premier league trophy which is the highest hard trophy any potential coach can do consistency which pep Guardiola has done.

Erling Haaland is still missing De Bruyne in some games base on injury because, they know how to work together to ensure they achieve victory at the end of the game which is one of the things their coach is proud of Erling Haaland and De Bruyne in Manchester city.

It will be unwise for the president of Manchester city to start thinking negative of the Manchester city coach, in the person of pep Guardiola simply for losing the trophy a few times when he has also won the trophy consistently for several times, he should know that, there was never a time Manchester city alone will continually keep winning the trophy like they are the only team or club in the premiere league.

If there is one thing that makes happy for the season's Premier league tournament, it's the fact that Manchester city is not going to win, Arsenal is my favorite club, and I hope they win it, but even if they don't end up winning it, and another club does aside Manchester city, I will still be very happy.

Man United fans that are thinking of some needed changes or reinforcements in the next transfer window should lower their expectations. The COO has already stated that the club won't be busy since they don't want to be hit with more penalties for violating the Financial Fair Play. I guess fans will just have to endure and wait for the recovery of key players hehe.

So Chelsea have successfully manage to squeeze out a win from their cup tie against Newcastle. It was quite a game though but at first didn't expect Chelsea to actually qualify at the hands of Newcastle united but it seems Newcastle united are still struggling although they they had a comfortable win against Fulham during their weekend clash but this night was not good for them as Chelsea manage to equalized their first half lead and win the game on penalties.

Sometimes Newcastle can disappoint, they play the entire game winning, but they are unable to defend their home field in the 90+ minutes of play when Newcastle scores. I thought Chelsea the match was over for Chelsea, but that is not how the match will end, in a game where you don't expect Newcastle to score many goals, they will score two or three goals. They should have taken advantage of their opportunities to score more goals. After Newcastle defeated Fulham in the weekend game, I didn't think Chelsea would be difficult to Newcastle in the EFL Cup, so can we say that Chelsea is back to their high level of play now that they defeated Newcastle and qualify to the next round.

Chelsea was extremely lucky that they were able to score in the injury time. And that led the match to penalties and that was a genuine chance for them. And they absolutely took advantage of that. By the way, it was the quarter-final of the EFL match. So yes it is important for Chelsea. But I think it is more important for Chelsea to concentrate on the English Premier League as well. Chelsea did win the last English Premier League match that they have played. But that was against the team which is absolutely at the bottom of the table. Right now Chelsea is in the 10th position and a lot better performances are expected from them.

I doa gree with what gallas said in this article published by goal https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-victor-osimhen-ivan-toney-former-blues-william-gallas/bltd5f85122ba2e6fed#cs480cd8c7fa207025

I meant having osimhen or roney will NOT solve the problem owned by chelsea. We do know so well if the main problem was on how difficult the club to scoring. Chelsea has some strikers but these strikers lack of experience. They don't even know how to get a good positioning during the game.
They are being so wasteful with any chances. I have seen it many times if there was no striker once its winger was sending the ball. I think that chelsea shall stop to waste more money. The club needs to make sure they can fix the main problem.

The blues got a very good achievement after it was beating newcastle through penalty. Newcastle has officially out from carabao cup after it was also out of UCL as well. This is not a good season for newcastle.
The blues need to hear some suggestions before trying to get a new striker. The current striker was so garbage and we can't deny that. Jackson and broja have very poor performance.

Chelsea needs to fix the main problem, and that is on the chemistry between the players. The blues needs to find the problem first.

Could the Manchester City saga be coming to an end? Manchester had been playing great for a few seasons under Pep Guardiola. They started this season very well, but could not continue. Manchester City is far from the top after losing points in a row. I guess this year won't be their year. I expect a race between Arsenal and Liverpool.

It's still difficult to predict in my opinion because there are still at least 21 matches that could possibly change the standings and the point difference between Manchester City and Arsenal is only five points so there are still opportunities open for the five teams in the top five in my opinion.
However, if they fail to defend the title this season, it won't be too surprising because competition in the English Premier League is always tight and Manchester City has won three times in a row, and the English Premier League is not like the Bundesliga where the league championship is won by the same team for a decade, there will be other teams who can become champions in this league, the only question is whether if they fail will it be a sign of a change in the power map in the English Premier League? and maybe we will see changes in head coach at Manchester City.

So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot be denied that Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.

We no that Manchester city is not going to win this trophy in this season based on some strong teams ahead of them currently but it will not affect Manchester city coach, but it will make their president to begin to think negatively by start searching for another coach that will take over from him when the mistakes become much next season. I know Pep Guardiola has did a great work that Manchester city will live to celebrate his eefforts by helping the team to became consistency winning in the premier league trophy which is the highest hard trophy any potential coach can do consistency which pep Guardiola has done.

Erling Haaland is still missing De Bruyne in some games base on injury because, they know how to work together to ensure they achieve victory at the end of the game which is one of the things their coach is proud of Erling Haaland and De Bruyne in Manchester city.

then what about Manchester City, they are becoming more and more worrying day by day and are very far from their usual performance like at the start of the season, they are losing a lot of points, and yesterday's match they only got one point against Crystal Palace because the match ended in a draw, Guardiola's squad couldn't added more goals, and ended with a score of 2-2.

but it is reported that KDB and Erling Haaland are ready to return to the field because they can be said to have recovered from their injuries, and is it possible that with this Manchester City can return to the top of the standings?

There isn't much to say about it, and there's no guarantee they'll return to the top of the league. After the players return, they will still have to go through the process of recovering themselves back in the field, which can be the most difficult part of it all. Long periods of inactivity always have an impact on a player's performance when they returns to the pitch. With the way the top teams are performing, there is no guarantee that they will return to the top of the table so easily, even with their entire squad back. All I can say is that the way they lost points to small teams will not happen again, and they will try to minimize how they lose points to those smaller teams.

Of-course! Lets facing reality, we're not in a fairy tale.

Once the players come back, they won't turn ordinary football moments into something extraordinary. It's a gradual process that will require time. Hopefully, Pep doesn't rush them onto the field too soon, or we might see them back in the doctor's office. It's great news that the players are gearing up for a comeback, with KDB looking fresh and poised to dismantle the defense of opposing clubs.
