I was really shocked by the results of Man City's match against Crystal Palace. I think Man City will really win again this time considering how they are in the standings. But apparently they failed. yes I say failed because they really missed the moment to win. Even though they still got 1 point, it really shouldn't have been. Because judging from the statistics, Man City is superior on various fronts. However, they did experience a quite drastic decline in their attack line. Many times they tried to attack the Crystal Palace defense, but they failed. The lack of accuracy and effectiveness of Manchester City's attacking players is clearly visible here. It's a shame. Hopefully in the future Man City can really turn around and can always win. because after all, their position is quite threatened

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is undoubtedly one of the best football managers ever in the history of football but judging from the current performance of the club in the English Premier League, I think he is acting like a man who doesn't know the best approach to bring his team back to winning ways again. City have dropped a lot of points since the start of the season and I don't think they're strong contenders to win the English Premier League title this season because they've not shown enough consistency and good results to show that they can end the season with the league title.

After Rico Lewis scored Manchester City's second goal of the game, I thought the team were gonna cruise to victory in front of the club's homes fans at the Etihad but Manchester City's defence allowed Jean-PhilIppe Mateta to convert from Jeffery Schlupps assist in the 76th minute to give the visitors hope of a come back before Michael Olise scored a stoppage time penalty to deny the citizens an important win. If Pep Guardiola doesn't improve the performance of his team in their coming league games, they might be struggling to finish in the top four of the English Premier League table at the end of the season and o don't think that's the kind of campaign the club would want to have after winning the treble last season.

At this point it's finished, Manchester city can't even near the top like what's going on this season I never believed the last part of this match, today game looks quite funny and surprising all thanks to crystal palace I know Liverpool and Arsenal will not make any mistake tomorrow cause they can't afford to step down but from the way am looking at the Liverpool and Manchester city now the match might end draw and Arsenal might likely top tomorrow cause I actually want Arsenal to top the table but I can't just predict knowing that Liverpool are just too hot this season and Manchester united can't withstand the strength of Liverpool but I will be happy if Manchester united win tomorrow match.

Tottenham before City's encounter had rough weeks of football and it never ended in their favor, it was diminishing to their ability and confidence on the pitch. They were able to hold City to a draw and yesterday they ensured that they took the 3points to themselves, they played very impressively and really deserved the winning.

 The team has been able to stay in the top spots of the table and are proving competitive enough to secure an European cup qualification ticket. The team's ahead of them are doing excellently well too so definitely the struggle will be tough and definitely heated up for them. The season is still long and so lapses, wins and losses will occur, but one team would just have to withstand all the heat to remain the best of them all in the league.

Everton,  Chelsea and Newcastle united hard the best outing this weekend since the season began haven't won their various matches shows that indeed their hard work and team organizations is working for them in this season most especially when some of them have hard a bad experience in the various seasons and in all leagues,  take Chelsea for example,  the club have suffered from a lot of crisis that affected over the last few season where their performance decline to near zero and coming out with tangible winning such as this have become a nightmare to them but seeing it happening now is to show the level of commitment from both the club management and team.

So for sure while other top clubs like Manchester City are losing their match,  Chelsea on the other hand are creating a new records that is indeed very exciting to be a witness to at this point in time.

If Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa are not really able to take advantage of opportunities to win the game when Manchester City is down, then in my opinion they don't deserve to win the title. Brighton is not an easy opponent for anyone, but if Arsenal want to increase the points gap on Manchester City then I think this is it.

I think many people are happy because Manchester City is not as strong as last season. Manchester City have looked very unstable this season and that is certainly hurting them in the title race. I'm not sure Pep Guardiola can defend his title for four seasons in a row, but I think he realizes his chances are not good. The draw against Crystal Palace was something that surprised me, but it's really hard to explain rather than just blaming one or two players.

Looking at the stats I don't understand how Manchester City could miss this win, they have a whopping 75% possession and manage to concede two goals at the end of the match. Yeah, MC have not looked good lately, it's weird, it's like they've been down on themselves

Manchester City are a big failure for their fans these days. I mean they are like that at least in the Premier League despite doing good in the Champions League. Without Haaland they are weaker in the attacking line maybe but we are still talking about Manchester City which won the Champions League title without Haaland's score contribution in the semi finals and finale in the previous season. 

There is a big problem with their defending seemingly despite having solid players. It was really unexpected that they couldn't keep their 2-0 score advantage against a team like Crystal Palace at Etihad. Guardiola had better figure out what's wrong otherwise the other title challengers can have a quite serious gap with them.

Manchester City's consistency in the last few games has been a bit compromised and I think this will continue to be the case at least until their schedule eases up because after all now is the hardest for some of the big clubs in the EPL who have several competitions and are faced with a tight schedule in the EPL for the month of December which is famous for their boxing day.

In today match they could only draw even though victory was in sight. but it is still a little better than not getting any points at all.
Manchester City's problem is still quite the same, their fitness is still disturbed because in the last month there have been so many matches that they have to run which makes Pep have to shorten some players and fatigue like this is what makes their focus disappear. But I don't think this will take long if in the end some players have had enough rest Manchester City will come back better.

Manchester city match against Crystal palace surprised me like imagine Manchester city was leading them by 2 goals only for Crystal palace to come from behind and equalized the two goals though already I have said it that Manchester city needs to focus more on their defense I think that's where Pep Guardiola needs to do more work as they concede too many goals in their matches both the ones they win and matches they don't win at all.

This season, I believe it is already inevitable that Manchester City will fail since they have wasted their potential from the start. Ever since the Man City draw with Chelsea, they have never won any home games again for  their Premier League. Can you imagine Manchester City, who were ahead by two goals, instead of maintaining their ground of home to avoid a Crystal Palace equalizer, but they were missing a luze guard.

They drew 1-1 with Liverpool before drawing 3-3 with Tottenham tonight. Today again they draw 2-2 with Crystal Palace, which ensuring that Manchester City's reign is over this season. Currently, Manchester City's has dropped to fourth position in the Premier League standings, which was extremely disappointed for them.

Don't underestimate City, they have gone through declines in previous seasons, but at the end of the season they always regained the lead. I agree that the situation is more difficult for them now, because there are several teams that are beating them and are in great shape, but don’t forget that this is Guardiola, he loves difficult situations and knows how to find a way out of them. It is also possible that after a successful season it will be difficult for them to repeat their previous success.

We have already enjoyed the full time play of today's match between these two teams Burnley vs Everton. In the first half of the game Everton team players used two attacks, Everton led by two goals against Burnley. Everton's Amadou Onana scored the first goal in the 19th minute of the game. Later, Michael Keane managed to score another goal in 25 minutes of the game. Everton dominated most of the game. Everton players put up a great fight with 63% of the ball at their feet. With the skill of Everton's players, it looked like they could score more goals. But Everton players could not score any more goals in the second half time game. Nothing good was seen in the Burnley team.  It has been noticed that Burnley team players play very randomly. Today's loss is very painful for Burnley fans.

This failure is not the first time, in fact in several matches, Man City has failed to get points, both from top and middle to low clubs. This is really disappointing if you look at Man City's performance in the EPL this season. Failure after failure was created, even against a club like Crystal Palace they were unable to win. There were several mistakes made by Man City players, especially the penalty goal scored by Crystal Palace at the end of injury time. Even though statistically, Man City is far superior, but they are not able to score more goals so they are at full risk of being overtaken. I'm sure that if Pep starts to worry about the condition of his squad, there must be new reforms here.

Hmm maybe possibly Manchester city should be not qualified himself for UEFA champions league if they played this types of game recently they lost their best performance status in last 8 match and can't hold up his aptitude like a previous.I don't watch the whole game, but after the match, I got to sit down to watch the highlights, so it seems like Machister City plays such a beautiful game; they are just dominating the game, but unfortunately, they don't get to hold up the winning streak. I mean to  winning the game to secure the points. But I think this match is quite good, while their recent matches are so bad that they could not have been on the way to winning the game. It seems that if Manchester City could not return his confidence and didn't regulate their team status, maybe they could not be able to play in the UEFA Champions League next season. Or maybe Pep have chances to sack him off and bring up some new Coach.

In fact, they were close to winning today but couldn't prevent a goal in the last minute. While watching the game I asked myself where are the important players like Ilkay, Haaland, KDB and Rodri. KDB has been injured for a long time. Ilkay has been transferred to Barcelona. Yes, we know these things. But while I was watching the match I was looking for these players because they were just like Xavi and Iniesta in Barcelona. Ilkay's transfer to Barcelona and KDB's injury put them on the decline. But I have to admit that I'm happy that they dropped points because it's an incredible chance for Liverpool.

Now there will be a situation where they will definitely be a little troubled with the many schedules they have and the conditions of some players who cannot be played.
Haaland is also currently absent from the squad although their performance has not diminished in terms of attack and possession but their goal productivity and defence seem to have gaps.
This is clearly not good if Manchester City continue to allow it although I still believe they can still compete until the end of the season for the championship but the unfavourable results in the last few matches are disturbing them in the standings for the time being.

Michael Olise became an important player who destroyed 3 points for Manchester City this week and with a score of 2-2 at the end of the match, Manchester City must be willing to get 1 point back which makes them closer to Tottenham and behind 3 points and could even be 6 points if Liverpool get 3 points back in their match later.

Honestly a defending champion for that matter dropping valuable points both home and away wouldn't help their bid to defend the title, worst of it Man City only won one out of six of their last matches this is absolutely incredible for a big spender in term of players signings, though it's too early to decide the likely champion however dropping points would increase the gap in term of points between them and the league leader, I also commend Crystal Palace for their brilliant comeback right in Etihad stadium even with their own bad record of winning one out of their last ten matches.

I am sure many non sentimental Chelsea fans that watched that game would agree that the win the Chelsea team that played against Sheffield united had today doesn't show any form of convincible act to say they have started getting back up. The performance was poor as usual with lack of agility and clinical attacks.

If this Chelsea team had played against a better side than Sheffield they Chelsea would not have won't the game. Like you said, all they demonstrated was a job been done, they are not yet ready to burn energy for the love of the club's badge, many lazy folks that have to understand that they need every point in the competition to stay up the table. There best is just not enough yet.

I watched the Manchester City game and I was really disappointed with the outcome of the game. City dominated the game very well and I didn't know what went wrong for them. I agree with you that Manchester City are gradually losing out on the title race. Their poor form is now a thing of concern.
