Looking at the results of today's games, I think I'm very satisfied with the the outcome. I don't think there's any big surprise here except in the Newcastle vs Liverpool thriller which ended in stalemate. Which of the fixtures were you more interested in and did the result correspond with your predictions? Let me read your takes
I did not expect Everton to win with such a scoreline, they are not stable and having mixed performance this season. Seeing them win with such a high scoreline was very surprising. Also the match between Newcastle vs Liverpool was a match I didn't expect to see a draw because Liverpool are in good form and their recent results in the Premier League and Champions League should have given them an edge against a Newcastle side that have have been inconsistent this season. Asides that, I think the other results were not so surprising.

I considered Brighton as the favorite. And I bet on Brighton to win this match. But it seems I was wrong. Brighton failed to win against Southampton in the last match. The match was drawn 1-1. However, Brighton won against Bournemouth and Manchester City in the previous two matches.

Today's match is very important for Brighton. If they win today's match, Brighton might be able to stay in the top four of the points table. But if they lose this match, Brighton's chances of qualifying for the Champions League will gradually decrease. We can see Brighton's irregular performance in the last few matches. Brighton conceded a goal in just 4 minutes of the match against Fulham. Fulham took the lead in the fourth minute of the match through Alex Iwobi's goal.

Liverpool is topping the league, they have 7 points gap, which is considerably safe enough. They missed full points from Newcastle's game, yet they have easy fixtures to come soon.

Having 7 points gap is enough to win the title as long as they can keep balling till the end of season. It's hard, but nothing is impossible if they can put in more effort in order to reach their target.

THey're now the title contender. They have to work harder than before consider this season is gonna be a very long. The problem may be happening at the mid - late season when their players start to exhaust.
I don't if you have realised this about Liverpool that they can start high, maintain the position for long and still end up not being the champion. Regardless that they are working hard and have worked hard to achieve this position, 7 point is not too big for other teams to achieve before the end of league.

I'm not still convinced even with the 7 point that they can hold the last man standing till premier League is over.

When talking about consistency, it is undeniable that this season, despite the tight match schedule, Liverpool has been able to maintain the consistency of its players while on the field. and even until now the team that has been able to be stable in every match is only Liverpool, because if we look at other clubs or even clubs in other leagues, no one has been able to match the consistency shown by Liverpool this season. Like in La Liga where Real Madrid was unable to maintain its consistency when faced with a fairly tight schedule. Likewise with PSG, even though they were at the top of the standings, the team had to be destroyed in the UCL by being in a less convincing position to be able to qualify for the next phase.

In contrast to Liverpool, who was able to perform well in the domestic league and in the Champions League, by being at the top of the standings in two competitions. But can this last until the end of the season, who knows? But when you look at the consistency that Liverpool continues to display, it is quite possible for Liverpool to be able to maintain its position until the end of the season.

Bournemouth are the favorites for today's game. Why are Tottenham winning odds so high? Tottenham are having an inconsistent season but Bournemouth are not better than them. They haven't won two games in a row this season and I find the odds interesting. I see 1.98 odds for Bournemouth win and 2.53 odds for Tottenham win. I think Tottenham will win this game and get back into the top 5 again.
Bookmakers may have picked Bournemouth as the favourites for today’s game but I don’t think it’s smart to neglect Tottenham Hotspur a team that won Manchester City this season. Inasmuch as Bournemouth odds to win is relatively smaller to Tottenham's odds, I don't think they have the quality of players and the squad depth to be able to win Tottenham. In my opinion Tottenham Hotspur will surely win this match. Irrespective of the odds.

I have been surprised by Bournemouth's performance this season. This team is capable of putting up a strong fight against big teams. Bournemouth won 4-2 against Wolves in their last match. More importantly, Bournemouth have won against Arsenal and Manchester City this season. Bournemouth have played well against the two best teams in the Premier League and have earned full points.

Tottenham are a strong team but their performance has been inconsistent. That is why many consider Bournemouth as the favorite in this match. Bournemouth's players are capable of playing well in home matches. Bournemouth won against City and Arsenal at home. That is why many consider Bournemouth as the favorite against Tottenham today.

Tottenham are not a reliable side this season. Their performances so far is not encouraging. I don't believe that Tottenham can win Bournemouth, Bournemouth are very strong at home and they have won quite some good numbers of games in their home. The odds are in favour of Bournemouth to win because Bournemouth has what it takes to win. Tottenham don't have that fear factor anymore. They are not the same Tottenham we used to know few years back. Tottenham might be higher than Bournemouth in the league table with two points, but that is going to change after the match tonight. Bournemouth hardly lose match at home this season and they are going to make things very difficult for Tottenham.  

Tottenham have been inconsistent in recent matches, with just one win in their last five games across all competitions. However, that win was a statement — a commanding 4-0 victory against Manchester City. Despite struggling in other games, Spurs remain close to the top six in the Premier League, which keeps their motivation high.
Bournemouth, sitting 13th in the table, haven’t been particularly convincing either. Over their last five matches, they’ve managed two wins, two losses, and a draw. While victories over Manchester City and Wolves were impressive, defeats to stronger sides like Brighton (1-2) and Brentford (2-3) highlight their struggles against higher-quality opposition.

Given the current form of both teams and the level of their opponents, I believe Tottenham have the edge. They should capitalize on Bournemouth’s inconsistency and secure all three points.

The poor results achieved in the last few matches will not change the view or lose confidence in Guardiola because so far he has given everything for Man City. The fans and management will not ask him to leave even though the team's current condition is not good, in their eyes Pep is still the best coach and his position is very difficult to replace. I have no information about this, if there are fans asking Pep to leave Man City, maybe they are Arsenal fans in disguise to worsen the current situation.
Manchester City's current poor performance is very concerning, of course because they are the defending champions who have defended their title for four consecutive seasons. I never expected them to be that bad this season, but as a big team that has squad depth and a great coach there is a big possibility that their performance will improve. Regardless of whether Manchester City succeeds or fails in defending their title, I think they are still a team that has made history in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola is respected by Manchester City players and management with his title win with the team. He is a coach who has led Manchester City to great success in both the Champions League and the Premier League. It is not easy for management to fire Pep Guardiola just because he failed to win the title this season, but of course there will be pressure on Pep Guardiola so that he can improve his performance.

The gap between Manchester City and the top of the Premier League table is getting bigger and bigger which means they are getting far from winning the Premier League title and this put Guardiola under more pressure since Manchester City couldn't get good results as they usually got before. Maybe we can't blame Guadiola for anything because Manchester City had to give him some more players as they got in Arsenal and the other similar teams but sadly couldn't spend money like many other teams and they were usually just losing the players.
Even in the game against Liverpool, Manchester City lost the game with a 2-0 result which means Slot is performing much better than Guardiola in Manchester City.

It's only a matter of time until Amorim can really bring Man Utd back on the right track, we'll just have to wait in the transfer market later, of course Amorim will bring in new faces so that his scheme can succeed because I see that for now there are still players who are not suitable for the scheme implemented by Amorim, it was seen in the match against Arsenal last night, although they could keep up with the game, the attacks built by Man Utd were not that sharp, likewise in the defense sector it did not go well as Amorim wanted.
It's how so many persons do not want to understand this concept of time around amorim, they are all about the fact that he's been a great coach at his former team and should replicate same at Manchester United in the shortest time which obviously isn't possible, if only they can be patient awhile and give him some time maybe the change the anticipate could come soon but all cannot be done at once, and this includes the bringing of the new faces that will fit in to amorims strategy.

Well I don't want to go against the patience game but I think that's probably what got Manchester united to where they are today as they patiently waited for Eric ten hag to replicate his own pattern and success which from the onset everyone saw it was definitely leading nowhere, I just hope that this new coach get to work things out very fast because patience is not united would like to endure currently

Are the bookies being kind? I think the odds should belong to Tottenham, I know in that match Tottenham's status as the away team but that won't be an obstacle for them to win.
I think betting on Tottenham's victory is a decent decision or if you don't want a surprise BTTS can be considered if the odds given by the bookie are appropriate.

Generally if the bookies offer something strange this means they have consideration for example some main players cannot play maybe because of injuries or other things so we have to wait for a lineup before placing a bet. For safe betting I think both teams to score is the best choice it's just that the odds are lower @1.38 this means we need to raise the bet to get an optimal return. By the way we also have one other match today between Fulham vs Brighton, we can see the bookies offering the same odds but I am more interested in both teams to score also I will place a multi bet in these 2 matches.

Tottenham is not a weak team at all. Tottenham players have been able to score 28 goals in 13 matches. Tottenham also has the ability to win by a large margin. However, Tottenham's main problem is that their overall gameplay is very irregular. This team has failed to perform well consistently.

Tottenham has drawn with Fulham and Roma in the last two matches. However, they have won 4-0 against Manchester City in the previous match. However, Tottenham lost 2-1 against a weak team like Ipswich Town. So it cannot be said that Tottenham will win against Bournemouth. This season, Bournemouth is not considered weak either. I have seen Bournemouth perform well against big teams in several matches. Bournemouth was even able to win against Manchester City.

Bournemouth will be unpredictable when they play at home. Tottenham should have a level of play above Bournemouth. But lately, they have not been consistent enough. They must get points in this match, especially when Tottenham faces Chelsea, who we know are currently in good form.
h2h, Tottenham should be more favored. Their last meeting won 3-1 and even 0-2 at Bournemouth's home. I hope Tottenham can get the win.

I can't blame Amorim because he didn't build the team. He's still making moves to understand the team. Arsenal is a very serious rival and the players have known each other very well for a long time. At Manchester United, when the squad and tactics were not yet fully defined, it was already unlikely that they would win such a match. The squad he will build next year and the successes he will achieve may cause the Portuguese manager to be criticized. This year, their main goal should be to finish the league in the top ranks and go to the European cups.

The chances of Manchester United winning against Arsenal were very low. Arsenal are a strong team. At the same time, the match was also Arsenal's home match. We considered Arsenal as the favorite. And Arsenal won the match by 2-0.

However, I expected to see a better gameplay from Manchester United. Manchester United also won against Everton by 4-0 in the previous match. Everton's defense was weak. Moreover, Manchester United's gameplay and match strategy were also good in this match. But Manchester United did not play well against Arsenal. Manchester United players were able to make only 5 shots in the entire match. Manchester United conceded two goals despite playing defensively. Amorim has not yet been able to create a suitable match strategy for this team.

Now Amorim is starting to feel how competitive the EPL competition is after Arsenal gave him his first defeat with Manchester United. He needs to do something to boost the team's performance in order to improve their position in the standings, the defeat has seen them drop to 11th place.
The January transfer window must be used to rebuild the squad to get them back to their best form. As a coach who has just set foot in the EPL, Amorim must be able to show what he has done with his previous team. Maybe he will bring in some of his former subordinates at Sporting to make the job easier at Manchester United.

He is already aware about how competitive the league is because he has played against many teams that he couldn't beat from Premier League in another leagues, he even met with Manchester United twice with his sporting teams twice and he couldn't beat them. The thing is that Arteta was more like pro of Guardiola, he didn't score make his boys to score the usual ways and that's how Arsenal was able to bypass their defenders without counter attack.

Amorim is a new coach and will adapt just like the other guys succeeded here. Liverpool is one of the best that has improved in performance but he didn't buy and sell players as many people thinks and yet they are doing fantastically in any games they played. The coaches can only do their best but the main result is from the effort of the players, you can't tell me that Guardiola isn't a great manager but yet the players are fumbling everyday losing matches in the last few weeks.

This is good news for the Arsenal fans. The kings of the set piece. The new rule will bring about multiple corners in the game and teams who can make good use of their corners will score as much as they can. 8 seconds in my opinion is too small for this rule. It should be extended if not many goalkeepers will fall victim to it. What do you guys think of this new rule? Is it comfortable for all the teams or is biased?

Surprisingly,

Manchester City win a big margin against Nottingham Forrest.

Liverpool can't beat Newcastle.

However as expected Manchester United lose against Arsenal, another stupid rotation and strategy by Amorim. Mount is already a finished player, Garnacho isn't a creative player, Bruno should back to his main position.

Manchester city win was expected but Liverpool coming back twice against Newcastle and still drop 2 points was least expected I think Konate absent was felt in they game, Van Dijk couldn't do it alone. Next game is against Everton.

Can't Amorim can't blame for giving Mount a good start but the players letting Arsenal ride on them with corner kicks like that was crazy.
I can't blame Amorim because he didn't build the team. He's still making moves to understand the team. Arsenal is a very serious rival and the players have known each other very well for a long time.

Well, there is nothing strange about the defeat experienced by Manchester United, because this is a big match and also Manchester United played away which made them unable to  get points in this match. But at least, Manchester United has made a good effort in the first half although indeed, it was still not enough for Manchester United to hold Arsenal who played at home. But at least, I personally am still not so confident about Amorim, because it seems that Amorim has a lot of pressure which also makes it difficult for him to improve the quality of Manchester United quickly. Indeed, in some previous matches Amorim succeeded,  but it was only playing against mediocre teams, but for a big match like this, then Amorim is still not successful enough.
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/12/05/pIOTd.png

Man United came to Emirates stadium with less convincing conditions, therefore Amorim tried to experiment again because he could not field the squad that was the starter in the match against Everton. It's unfortunate that Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo couldn't play because they both received 5 yellow cards and were to be punished with a one game suspension. Man United played well until the first half, but in the second half, Arsenal played better than them.

Although Manchester United came to this stadium with less confidence, they still kept possession of the ball, just like Arsenal. The possession of the ball was 50/50 between the two teams, but Manchester United could not attack strongly here and could not score many goals. However, compared to Arsenal, Manchester United's goalkeeper made many more saves, otherwise there would have been more goals. It is very challenging for any team to not be able to play good players, which is what Manchester United faced. In the first half and second half, both teams played well enough, but Man United's attack was not strong, which is why they lost. However, Arsenal's performance in this match was much improved, their strong attack was fortunate for them, and Man United was unfortunate for them.

Tottenham’s performance is not reliable, that’s how they did last season, they started the season very well and failed along the way, they have now started to have poor performances this season after having some wonderful performances against big teams they are now struggling to get three points against other average teams.

Statistically, Tottenham is the favorite to win against Bournemouth even though they will be playing away from home because they won their last two matches against Bournemouth, and they will try to recover anytime soon so that they will not lose their stand in the EPL table anytime soon.

Let's see what will happen, because Amorim is new to the team, and Manchester United is not a small team, and they have been suffering from bad performance for many seasons now, so this makes me think that he will not find it as easy to get this back as some fans are thinking. I think Amorim is going to work very hard to restore this team.

When he came first, he was kind of getting lucky in winning some matches, and people were thinking they had improved, and Amorim has restored the confidence of Manchester United, which is not Manchester United, which has suffered for long now, so I don’t think they will get better in a short period of time.
At least they would have drew yesterday match and that would been credited to Amorim if they drew the game because they would have been down for sometimes but losing the game was bad for him. I was expecting draw in that game. And the funny thing is the 2 goals were not scored by strikers but defenders of Arsenal. J. Timber and W. Saliba, they all play at the central back in the club. Now that they have seen the legs of Arsenal, they will do well in their next game.

Manchester City won their game against Nottingham Forest and Everton who was beating by Manchester United beating Wolves 4-0. Chelsea does not want to take last again. They beat Southampton 5-1. That is a good recommendation for them.
