With the consistency that Liverpool has built this season, it is very clear that it will be a real obstacle for its competitors, especially for Manchester City, which is currently starting to have a gap with Liverpool in terms of points. So it is very possible for Manchester City to experience difficulties this season and will not be able to repeat the success they achieved last season this season. But Liverpool must also be able to maintain their performance until the end of the season if they want to make Manchester City continue to experience difficulties.

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

It's still his old injury. It was getting even worse and it's an unpredictable thing to happen with him. His caption has been representing how frustrated he was. Reece hames has become a very good RB for chelsea and it sounds very bad to hear he needs to leave from the club again for a long time.
It's been a few games since reece was actively playing for chelsea again. The performance of chelsea becomes even worst without him. Look at how pochettino was putting levi colwill to replace his position instead of pure RB.

This is a very bad news for all of chelsea fans. The club that was also interesting to recruit him will have no interest anymore to do that.

Yes indeed, it is very funny about assumptions like that, they assume when the team gets bad results then they assume the team is not interested to get trophy, honestly that is a very funny assumption. After all, with the results that Manchester City are not getting optimally like that at this moment, of course it doesn't mean that Manchester City is a sick team that can easily leave the title race.

Because after all, Manchester City is an elite team that always targets trophies every season, so yes, bad results like this are still normal considered because they are still part of the process in the long step throughout the season. After all, Manchester City is also not in the middle of the standings, so yes, with that said that Manchester City still has a close points gap with Liverpool, so of course there are still many good opportunities for Manchester City to be able to compete strongly again in the race for the title and that does not mean they are not interested in trophies.

Manchester United is having a very poor performance this season. Manchester United definitely need some players because they fail to attack at the right time. However, Manchester City is much ahead here because the defenders are strong and the striker they have Haaland is very hard to attack and score goals. So if Manchester United is compared with Manchester City then of course Manchester United is far behind. So I agree with you that Manchester United definitely need players.

I thought as much also, he is not competitive enough, and he always look for excuses whenever they lose.
A competitive coach in a big team like Manchester United should know what to do to succeed in such worst conditions, been eliminated in Champions League in a group where only Bayern Munich is a top team there is shameful, they lose almost eight points in winning possession which is a very poor performance overall in their Champions League campaign this season; and their inconsistency in the Premier League this season is also something the coach should have worked on before it becomes too late because if they keep on with this performance, they will likely not qualify to the Champions League next season.

I think sacking Ten Hag will be the best thing for United right now so as to try another manager and add more players during the January transfer window.

You could also argue that the bigger the club and the team, the bigger the medical department and the deeper the squads most of the time. Fatigue isn't an issue all that often in highly professional clubs as they have access to recovery and medical facilities like many other clubs don't. The program the top players are going through to find rest, good nutrition and medical care everyday to bring their bodies back to top level is impressive. They have no other things to do in life but to take care of their body all day long. Fatigue, if they are healthy, should not become a thing for most players.

It will be so stupid if manchester united will keep ten hag much longer. The club is in a critical situation as it has been also recording the worst result in UCL. Glazer needs to do something and the club shall need to get a new coach.
Ten hag is never able bringing manchester united up again. It was only helping united to stick in the same place over and over again. Ten hag deserves to get a lot of pressures caused by he was the united coach.

If he is not willing to get pressures, then he can try to leave from the club by his own. Manchester united will be driving itself to the abyss if the club will keep him much longer.
Ten hag deserves no place in the club. The fans are also trying to push the management to kick him out from the club.

Ten hag is shit, he was initiating so many horrible transfers like antony or even hojlund and mount.

Situations like this are often experienced by other big teams in different leagues, a decline in performance can occur due to fatigue and injuries experienced by these players who operate in central areas. Manchester City still has the desire to add another EPL trophy to their trophy cabinet, but the competition for trophies this season is a bit more difficult than last season.
There is still time for Manchester City to fix the problems that have occurred in their squad which have caused a decline in performance. Liverpool's presence on the list of favorite teams to win the trophy means that Manchester City must always perform optimally so that their position does not get further away from the team that has managed to lead the standings.

I also think it's not like that. It's just that some changes and injuries have really affected their tactics. It must be really tough for City right now with inconsistent performance but I still don't think that they are not focusing on PL and putting more focus on CL. Yes CL is a trophy they don't have much in their belt but they have been champions of PL for so many years, so I think PL is bare minimum for them. Guardiola also seems to be furious after watching his recent post match conferences so it's certain that there is certainly pressure and they will try hard to change their performance from next game.

Last season, a certain time when Kevin De Bruyne was Injured, Manchester City coped to an extent with the availability of Ilkay Gundogan who helped maintained balance. One more player is missing and that's Mahrez who was also sold to Saudi Arabia. These are the players including Jack Grealish making sure they created chances for Erling Haaland and taking three points. It was a brilliant treble winner last season for the citizens.

Kevin would not be back anytime soon, he would be back early next season and how sharp would he be to help push Manchester City back to the first team in the Premier League Competition.?

Ten Hag has failed to bring Man United through to the knockout rounds of the UCL, meaning the Dutch coach managerial career at Old Trafford is now entering a new chapter. I mean, if United fail to make United consistent in the remaining 22 EPL matches, management will not keep him until the end of the season. Because I assume, by being eliminated early in the UCL, Ten Hag can focus completely on the EPL, which means finishing outside the top four is unacceptable for the Red Devils management.

We know that United is currently in 6th place in the standings and below them are Newcastle, Brighton and West Ham. The difference in points between the three clubs is not big, if United lose against Liverpool in Week 17, their position will immediately be overtaken by the three clubs below them. Ten Hag fate is at stake starting next week, I think it will be difficult for Ten Hag to bring United to mark a turning point in performance.

If you look a little further into United future match schedule, after facing Liverpool, The Red Devils will face teams that can be said to be a problem for them, namely, West Ham and Aston Villa, especially Unai Emery squad. Ten Hag should realize that his fate is hanging in the balance, as are the players he recruited last summer. Because if there is a change in managerial position within United, their fate will be more or less the same as Ten Hag.

Why are you so sure that Man City is not interested in the Premier League trophy? Although their performance this season is not as good as last season and they lost in several matches but that doesn't mean their chances in the Premier League are gone. Currently, they are only 4 points behind Liverpool, who are in first place and there is still a very long way to go in the Premier League, so Man City still has a lot of time to improve and make a comeback. I think Man City can be better because they are a team that has a winning mentality and they have the capability to do so.

Even though De Bruyne and other Manchester city that had injuries in some games are back, it will be difficult for the team to win this premier league trophy again because, many coaches has prepared their players to break that record which Arsenal and Liverpool are the two teams that will lift the trophy. There is a hope for Liverpool in their next game to beat Manchester united because Manchester united performance in this season is very poor and, it will give Liverpool more opportunities to secure many goals to beat Manchester united to remain in the second position.

I don't think Arsenal will allow Liverpool to smell that top position in the premier league competition table because they are more focus on the premier league competition than others competition in this season.

The absence of KDB in the Manchester city squad is felt but not to a very high magnitude. There wouldn't have been much difference if Gundegon didn't leave for Barcelona. The absence of KDB and Gundegon is felt heavily in Manchester City midfield. If not that Rodri stepped up his game, there would have been many obvious lapses.

I am not expecting any special on return of KDB expect that Haaland will begin to score very well as like before.

Manchester City lost a lot of points this season, it seems they are not interested in the title race this season, they seem serious about focusing on the Champions League to maintain their name as defending champions this season, even though some time ago they were beaten by Aston Villa and held to a draw by Liverpool but Manchester City are slowly starting to recover to improve their consistent game play which was lost in the previous match.

Erik ten Hag has been given enough time to reposition Man Utd unfortunately it's seem things are not looking good for club crashing out and coming last in UCL by such a club of such a big status and magnitude is very embarrassing and unacceptable that means the manager would likely face a sanction possibly in form of a sack and it obvious their next match against Liverpool would be a decisive moment for the manager because a defeat against Man Utd would probably triggers his imminent sack the board wouldn't wait till the end of the season because the club might even end the league in an unfavorable position thus depriving them of European competitions next season and it's very obvious their fans would support whatever decision taken by the board.

They still performed well, but we can see the difference when they don't have an attacking creator like KDB, so I can't help but say that it affected their performance. From here we can start to see where Manchester City's weak points can then be exploited by their opponents, namely in the midfield. That way, when they can play with a full squad, the opponent will realize which point should be the part they should pay close attention to. Haaland is indeed a very sharp player, but when he is not supported by a good supply of balls coming to him, he also cannot do much as usual. So opponents will begin to strategize so that Manchester City's midfield can be suppressed.

Kevin De Bruyne will probably be back by January next year so we shall see how that's going to change their form. Man City is still looking good despite his absence and I doubt they will drop further since they have "easy" matches for the rest of December. Their rivals like Liverpool will still have to face Man United and Arsenal so I expect Man City to close the gap or even take the lead by the end of the year.

Yes, Brighton is very unstable at this moment because after all, Brighton's last match was played at home against a relegated team like Burnley but still, Brighton failed to get full points. At least I was very disappointed with this result, because I also bet on Brighton to win that match, but in reality, even though Brighton still had good statistics in that match, but it still didn't make Brighton managed to win the match.

Therefore, playing away against Arsenal in the next match, I think a defeat will be difficult for Brighton to avoid. Because yes, of course Arsenal will still have good efforts to be able to compete for the title at this moment. So of course, Arsenal deserves to be the favorite team in this match, because Brighton is also not in a good trend at this moment.
