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.

Exactly, I didn't expect Manchester City to draw against Crystal Palace because Manchester City played them very well in the first half and I expected them to win the match, but they failed to defeat Crystal Palace at Etihad Stadium, Guadiola needs to change his information in their next game because it is affecting them on the pitch, Manchester City needs to do something because the way this season is going, Manchester City doesn't have a Premier League trophy, and Liverpool will try to win  Manchester United to give Manchester City gap in the league table, and I have faith in Liverpool since they are in terrific form this season and will defeat Manchester United because it has been nearly 5 to 7 years since Manchester United defeated Liverpool at Anfield, and I am confident they will retain the record.

Arsenal and Brighton play tomorrow, and I believe Brighton are in form, and it will be difficult for Arsenal to defeat them so easily, but I believe Arsenal will try to defeat them in order to continue chasing the league trophy with Liverpool, because I believe only Liverpool or Arsenal will win the Premier League trophy, as Manchester City are already performing poorly and cannot compete with Liverpool.

I think they will improve the current situation every week, but they cannot prevent the losses. Manchester City team will not be able to gain leadership dominance this year, and such losses will cause great problems for Manchester City. In fact, the fans are tired of being at the top alone, and I can say that not having teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa at the top adds a little more excitement to the league. Because it was something that was never expected for Manchester City to have such a bad month with consecutive losses, but I think Pep will pull the team together.

Manchester City of late have been dropping points so easy, and with three clubs already above them and in good form, I honestly think this title is slowly slipping away from them...and today's game was one awkward match as City was fully in control of the game and from nowhere Crystal Palace got a goal back and pressure turned against them.. only for Palace to steal a valuable point in the end thanks to a late penalty ..

And for gamblers/punters I honestly feel their pain as this was a steal looking at the price on a City win which was less than 1.2 odds against the draw which was ~8odds,  honestly you can't even explain this...City need to pull up their socks and not having Halaand isn't an excuse!!!!

Chelsea's performance in today's match was very organized. They managed to dominate from the start of the match and earned three points. I have no complaints about Chelsea's squad. This squad is quite strong. But their main weakness is that there is no consistency in the performance of the players.

In today's match, Chelsea players managed to have 78% of the ball possession. Chelsea players do not allow Sheffield United's players to create any good opportunities to attack. But Chelsea cannot maintain the consistency of such performance. Pochettino's match strategy is gradually stabilizing the team. But this is not enough. We expect a better performance from a big team like Chelsea.

Is Manchester City's dominance starting to collapse this season? because they have had poor results in the last month which has made it even more difficult for them to recover. The draw against Crystal Palace is another blow for Manchester City and Liverpool are certainly very enthusiastic to hear this news because their chances of winning the EPL this season are getting bigger. Now Manchester City is also increasingly close to being knocked out of the top 4 and Spurs seems ready to replace Manchester City next week if Pep Guardiola's squad gets another draw or loses.

Manchester City fans hope for change and improvement, while fans of the other 19 teams are very grateful for the situation experienced by Manchester City. In England, Manchester City is a team that is hated because of its dominance in the last few seasons, but Pep Guardiola doesn't think about that and only focuses on the continuation of his team. You may be right that increasing squad depth is an important thing for Manchester City to consider this season. They need a midfielder as good as De Bruyne, but I think that's a difficult thing.

But whatever it is, Manchester City is a big team that has the potential to return to its best performance without losing. The first half did not live up to expectations, but they still have the second half of the season to launch their rocket and compete closely at the top of the standings. To this day, player injuries have affected Manchester City's performance.

Pep Guardiola will find the best solution for Manchester City after several unwanted results.
In my opinion, this match was due to Manchester City's lack of luck and was a lucky match for Crystal Palace. According to my other view, Manchester City's physical condition is experiencing fatigue.

Making conclusions too early after the draw against Crystal Palace is not something final because Manchester City still has a big chance of returning to the top position.
Previously Haaland and Doku did not play due to injury.

This draw was of course very detrimental to Man City, and this draw also made Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston smile. I hope Arsenal don't waste the opportunity to get away from Man City, because Man City has experienced setbacks twice. I think Man City without KDB can't do anything. The brains of their attacks are always KDB, even if Haaland/Alvarez can't score, usually there are other players who make the difference.

You could say that Man City's weakness recently is their difficulty in scoring goals. Their defense this season is also not very strong. Just look, if you are two goals ahead, you can even draw. Very different from Man City last season.

Chelsea is well-known not a friendly place for strikers. Many top strikers came to Chelsea appeared to struggle. Current Chelsea is the worst version of Chelsea, because they are not only lack of clinical finisher, but also lack of creativity for chances. Chelsea's ability to secure a win in this game, even when not performing at their best, could also be viewed as a sign of resilience and adaptability, but fortunately they were playing against a much weaker side.

The fact that Chelsea managed to secure a win over just demonstrates just their job being done, nothing special. It's so clear to see that Chelsea have to improve on all aspects. it's premature to say that they already have something to compete back at high level. They might be working on specific aspects of their game, but the performance in today's game is not a reflective of their potential in upcoming games.

Once again City had to be willing to accept minor results for the fourth time in the 17 matches they played, apart from that they also suffered three defeats. I'm not surprised that many people ask what's wrong with City. Pep Guardiola's squad last season was very strong, in fact in every match they always scored lots of goals. and clearly, this result will not make Pep Guaridola's mood happy and accept the final result of the match against Palace. In 8 matches at the Etihad Stadium, they have lost 3 matches with a draw. Actually, I don't want to blame the Manchester City players. especially in this match, which incidentally is that Crystal Palace is on a different level from City and at the same time based on ranking. If I refer to the statistics of the match, the City players performed quite well on all fronts. they had 74% ball possession, 19 total shots, 9 on target, 5 big chances. Likewise, from a tactical and technical perspective, City is far superior to its opposing team. So why did this match end in a draw, even though they were already 2-0 up? In fact, Pep only made one substitution and that was in the final minute. City actually played well in this match, every player did their job well. Maybe there were only two players who didn't play optimally, namely, Foden and Alvarez. however, a team plays together and they do quite well based on the statistics I referenced. Unfortunately, City was unlucky in this match with two goals scored by the opposing team. I couldn't see clearly whether Mateta was caught offside or not. what is certain is that the goal was recognized. second goal, from the penalty spot. If I refer to the match highlights, it should not be without any fouls committed by City's back line players. But because I didn't watch this match, I can't assume too much. In essence, in this match City was unlucky in my opinion. and one more thing, I don't understand what Pep Guardiola did with Rico Lewis. these players, in every match, are always rotated. I can't understand what Pep actually wants. But we'll see, there's still a lot of action left and City is a strong team. like last season. they were able to do it even though they were several points behind Arsenal. especially, if Pep is serious about playing the standard that he will use as his mainstay pattern later.

I was just surprised to see Manchester City played draw in the match, they dominated the match and they played well in the match, actually, they wasted a lot of opportunity in the match, they would have scored more than two goals in the match, but they wasted most of them, they were able to convert just two to goals, and Crystal Palace had few opportunities in the match, but they utilized them well and were able to score two goals. The draw is really a bad one for Manchester City. I was expecting Manchester United to easily win the match, but they ended the match as a draw.

They played well even without Haaland. What I notice in the match is that after scoring their second goal, they already relaxed, thinking they had already won the match. Crystal Palace were lucky in the match, they utilized the opportunity they had well. I was surprised that the match ended in a draw as well. Liverpool will be playing their next game against Manchester United. We all know that United are not in form, and Liverpool will do everything possible to win the match just to increase their point difference.

Manchester City currently requires a new player based on their league match statistics, which is very poor in performance. Pep Guardiola manages the club's positions very tactically. He was preoccupied with the club's current state; everything was falling apart at Manchester City, and the fans were pleading for improvement. The absence of Kelvin De Bruyne has had a significant impact on Real Madrid's match performance. They're underweight, and there's nothing left for them this season perhapes they can bounce back to winning ways.

Can they win the league for the fourth time just like Pep Guardiola been saying? Not this way, they have dropped massive form so far, how long will they want to continue to this way? They don't have Kevin De Bruyne and without his chances creation, some players cam not create for themselves and they'll struggle. Another overwhelming day for Manchester City and Pep Guardiola.

Chelsea got to win but the pace and intensity they be playing against a weak team like Sheffield United not up to standard. Pochetino should be blamed though, the midfielder's also lacked creativity. Raheem Sterling was key to that first goal scored by Cole Palmer. Nicholas Jackson is a big flop, on a normal day, he doesn't meet up to be called a Chelsea kind of striker waste of money. They'll need to sign replacement, he'll be absent during the African Cup of Nations.

I was not at all prepared to see the outcome of this match. Because the Manchester City team was leading 2-0 until 75 minutes. City are a very experienced team. No one would have guessed that they would concede two goals in the last 15 minutes and drop the points. Because the opponent Crystal Palace was not a strong team.

There is no doubt that Manchester City dominated the match. But they failed to keep their defense strong. Meanwhile, Manchester City were unlucky. Because Crystal Palace scored their second goal after 90 minutes of extra time and Olise scored from the penalty spot.
If Liverpool and Arsenal win their next matches, they will move 6 and 5 points clear of Manchester City respectively.

Unfortunately, the team that is favored must be held to a draw at the last minute, of course this is very disappointing, especially when I bet for Manchester City in this bet, yes, as they start to shake, it is increasingly difficult for Manchester City to reach the points above because it is clear that the team above will definitely retain points with their victory.

Does the absence of Haaland affect it? Pep Guardiola is indeed under more pressure because until now he has drawn 4x and lost 3x this is clearly not something that is expected for Manchester City but their results lately have always been bad and not expected.

It was unlucky that Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty in the 90+5th minute.

Something is really wrong and I believe they'll somehow fix the problem. This Man City is somehow similar to last season's Man City, the only difference is, this one is a little bit worse. Last season Man City didn't start the season in great form. They struggled. But as time went on they began to get better. I believe Man City will get better than they are. We've seen them go 15 straight wins in the league before, it's very possible to do it again.
I can't say for certain who's going to win the league, but what I can say for certain is that Manchester City is still in the title race. Don't forget that it's only a 6 points (assuming all the teams above Man City win their games) difference between Man City who are in 4th place currently and Liverpool who are in 1st position.


I don't believe that hypothesis but one thing I know about Pep is that he knows when to leave a club. If this is his last season at Man City then he's going to be always remembered as a legend of the club. He led them to win every single trophy there is.

When the game was played I said that Crystal Palace could score. Crystal Palace managed to score 2 goals in a game where they didn't show much. It is not acceptable for Manchester City to lose points in this match, especially after a 2-0 score. The team always thinks about scoring more goals but forgets to defend. This is not the kind of mistake a big team like this should make. Crystal Palace got behind the defense with one pass and scored a very easy goal. The penalty was a really amateurish mistake.

Things are not going well for Pep and I wonder if he will find a solution to this situation. Pep, who always has a plan in such situations, seems to have no plan for now.

The absence of Kevin De Bruyne is causing Manchester City to struggle to win their matches, if Kevin De Bruyne will not be available soon, Manchester City's head coach should look for a backup when the January transfer window opens. Manchester City might find it difficult to challenge for the Premier League title if they continue dropping points.

Everton managed to maintain a 2-0 lead at the end of 80 minutes. Everton had several attacks in the first half. This is why Everton was able to take a 2-0 lead. But in the second half, Everton is playing defensively. Everton will probably be happy with a 2-0 win. They don't want to concede goals now. Everton is going to win the fourth match in a row.
Everton team will play against Tottenham in the next match. Tottenham is very strong. Despite being off form in a few matches, Tottenham's performance in the last two games against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest was very good. Everton vs Tottenham match will be very competitive.
