I was thinking that Chelsea would give it their all to finish in the top 6, but  as things are now going, I don't think it will surprise me as much if Chelsea ends up in the relegation zone. They are currently in 12th place, having previously struggled in 10th place. Every time they begin a match, their playing style always surprises me, it's always so good So I'm still confused as to whether Pochettino or the players are at fault.
The performance of Newcastle cannot be compared to that of Manchester United and Chelsea, But Manchester United will perform better if they can get a new manager.but the issue is, who will be the next manager?

I do not think that those players are really the problem, I get that they may want to get more players and that's fine, but a player like Casemiro can't be blamed for anything, plus he was just bought for a decent amount as well, seeing him leave so soon while also not needing to be sent, makes no sense at all. I am sure that he will find a place somewhere else and do just fine. Rest I can sort of understand, that part makes sense, like you gain nothing by keeping Martial, he hasn't provided anything in a long time.

The number one issue is goalkeeper though, they may try the bench one over Onana for a few weeks and if that doesn't work then maybe get another one during the winter because Onana is just terrible, he is nowhere near the level he should be and that's terrible for them. If they keep up with this defence and GK, then I am sorry but they are going to keep being a terrible team and keep on losing for a long time, there is no way they can get better.

Aston Villa this season is indeed doing a very good job in the Premier League, they are one of the strongest team in the Premier league this season and they have defeated almost all the big teams in the league so far. I know that they can’t win the league but they might do exactly the same thing as Newcastle United did last season to qualify for Champions League next season.
Arsenal still remains one of the top teams in the League, alongside Tottenham, Liverpool, and Manchester City, but I doubt if Chelsea and Manchester United will make it to the top four this season.

This is what coaches get for being inconsistent. I’m not surprised to hear fans say this out of so many disappointments and how the team haven’t been used effectively to win games. After all, managers play the game by designs.

Well, his approach towards managing his team has been by some form of discipline, he tried it with Ronaldo and Rashford last season, it worked out just fine. I recall just how he was praised for it and now, his at it again with his team but, it’s just not coming off as from a season ago. It’s the premier league and things change very quickly in this league. When the strategy that once worked isn’t delivery result, you ought to change tactics too.
Being a legendary club doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be changes and winners. The underdogs have got to step up too and they will.

I think what Pochettino needs is a long adaptation time, because the players he has have minimal experience. On the other hand, their transfer policy last summer was quite bad, they let go of ready made players by recruiting young players who needed more time to improve their skills and confidence, which is why Chelsea slumped this season.

There are many harsh comments regarding the current performance of Pochettino squad, and I think he should be tolerant of this criticism. Because for some fans, spending a lot of money in the transfer window will be a hope that will bring them closer to winning a trophy, not bring the club to the brink of collapse.

There is still time for Chelsea to improve, although we know it is not an easy thing to do in an instant. However, I think with its status as an elite EPL club, the Blues do not deserve to finish in 12th position like last season. Player injuries are not an excuse, and Pochettino should be able to find a solution quickly to get out of the current pressure.

Yeah sometimes too much discipline also does harm to the team and we can see this in the case of Manchester United here. I still think that Erik ten Haag is a good technical coach but he has to loose himself a little sometimes. Right now United are in a very difficult stage and I also think that he has to get some chances to the options that he has and make changes so that he can turn around the performance of United otherwise yes he will be sacked very soon.

I agree with you. He had problems with many players and proved to us that he was the main problem in the team. Erik Ten Hag is now doing more harm than good to the team and I'm sure there are a lot of people waiting for him to leave the team. Manchester United is a legendary team and its history is full of successes. It is very unfair for the fans to experience such bad times.

I don't think Aston Villa sets a target for the title. They must realize that it is something very difficult to achieve because there are many strong teams in EPL. I assume Aston Villa just tries their best to finish in UCL zone, so they can make a history to play in UCL for the next season. It will be another surprise if Aston Villa joins UCL next season after Newcastle joins the UCL for this season. Sure, they are very confident now, they could beat Man City and Arsenal, these are the strong teams in EPL. For the next matches, I assume Aston Villa can beat Man United and Newcastle. It should be easier than Man City and Arsenal.

What makes me even less pleased with the club is that they've not really gotten a tangible reason as to why their performance is shaky. Other clubs will blame it on the UCL and Europa games coming up but Chelsea have none of these to worry about yet they keep acting this way. Is it that they've not tasted relegation that's why they are being this lackadaisical? Maybe if they should have been in Everton's shoes, they would try to be serious?
 For me, it's not about getting more players that will solve their problem because you'll agree with me that they've got good players, it's just Pochettino who doesn't know how to use them. Imagine that with all the players they signed, we are still getting this weak results, does he think it's when they've got more that it will help?
Chelsea and Man UTD are having similar problems in terms of management and if nothing is done to fix it, they'd keep going up and down without any improvement.

What's really blowing me away is their record for the home games. They truly are operating a fortress in their home stadium! They won 100% of their games there and it is not just that they won those games, but how they destroyed most of their opponents there. Although I saw that Liverpool also has a perfect record for their home games. Now they will have a couple of games against weaker opponents, except for maybe Manchester United in two weeks. But if they continue like this then the game against Manchester United could be some big points for them as they can increase the distance to Manchester United and leave them behind once and for all for this season.

You mentioned these players and you're correct about the details you dropped. Erik Ten Hag has had a falling out with most of his key players this season; there is little he can do to reconcile with his players; instead, he is intent on controlling his respects and acts toward his squad. Suggesting Erik Ten Hag's dismissal is not advantageous for the club because we should be well aware of the team's serious situation, and every other manager has little to add other than testing their techniques with a completely newt tactics.

In my own opinion, I think Erik Ten Hag is currently one of the luckiest managers in world football at the moment because it's very rare to see a manager who's underperformed as much as the Dutch has done for a big European club like Manchester United and still remain as the club. Just like Danny Murphy suggested, Ten Hag should've been released of his duties as the club manager but it seems the club management is still keeping faith with him because they think he can still improve the result of the club. They have a very crucial game to play against Bayern Munich tomorrow in the UEFA Champions League and if Manchester United fails to reach the knockout stages of the competition after that game, they're very likely to get rid of Erik Ten Hag.

Aston villa are really pushing hard for the title composition which I see that in them, I have much confidence in them because they have defeated all the strongest teams we have right now. If Aston villa can continue I believe they will land themselves in champions league zone. I don't expect Chelsea and Manchester United in the europa zone because of their performance, but Tottenham Hotspur is capable of making it, they are just left behind because of injury challenges and I believe if the squad is fully back they can make a difference.

I also support the fact that I think ten Hag needs to be sacked, his performance this season has been below average and I think the board of Manchester united has giving him enough time.
He has actually caused more harm to Manchester united than good, don't forget Cristiano Ronaldo warned Manchester united against him and after that he has had fall out with promising talents like Jaden Sancho. It's just not working and Manchester united has to know that.

100% right! We are still talking about Manchester City and it is still a world class team, but you are right that if you compare this season Manchester City to last season Manchester City, there is quite a significant difference. Now this is easily said because they could not win several games recently, but the whole style and intensity of their game decreases and I concur with you that the midfield is their weak spot due to Gundogan and De Bruyne being out. What this duo pulled off last season was insane and they built one of the most impressive midfields I have ever seen. Gundogan out of a sudden became a top scorer for the most important goals and De Bruyne played in his own league. The dominance is gone and it was due to these two players that Manchester City could maintain it for so long last season.

I don't know what Aston Villa is doing in top 4 positions but the teams above them are doing good right now and teams under them are fluctuating badly including Manchester City!
Tottenham Hotspur followed Manchester City to break the bad records, otherwise in terms of goals, then Manchester United have the worst goals scored to goals received ratio with minus three goals and only 18 goals scored in 16 rounds! Comparing to the other teams, only 5 clubs have a worse scoring than them, from 15th position and so on.

The thing is Tottenham had a lot of injured players. Especially in the defensive line. So the other teams actually took advantage of that. And I have to say it was well done by the other teams. They saw an opportunity and they took full advantage of that and I have to give them credit for it. Of course, the one to suffer was Tottenham. But now they are back in winning ways. I hope they will be able to continue performing like this. They will actually have to perform well like this if they actually want to have any shot towards the English Premier League title. They are already behind by 7 points, so they cannot afford to lose any more points at this moment.

Seven defeats have belonged to Man United with Ten Hag this season. There was a push to sack Ten Hag after the loss to Bournemouth. Danny Murphy became the one to say that. Losing At Oldtraford and in front of Man United's management was terrible. In addition, the team faced is the bottom team. Ten Hag takes full responsibility with all because he's a major factor in decision-making with regards to players and match results. No transfer has been said to have been successful in the Ten Hag era. Players do not have a fighting mentality.

The Manchester City team has been somewhat weak since the beginning of this season. Because two important players in their squad Gundogan and De Bruyne are not with the squad. Gundogan left the team and De Bruyne is out of the squad this season due to injury. Manchester City's performance this season has been slightly weaker than last season due to the loss of two key midfield players. However, Manchester City's performance was relatively stable due to Guardiola's match strategy. The team would still have been at the top of the table if they had not lost points consistently in the last few matches. However, after dropping points in the last few matches, they found a win against Luton Town. It is expected that Manchester City's performance will be stronger in the upcoming matches.

Well, the small was very small caused by three matches were getting half win but it's not too bad. At least i can still win some pennies rather than losing my money. Some matches are giving unbelievable result like city vs luton.
I have been putting city better in everything compared to the luton town but the thing that was shocking him if city was almost losing caused by luton took the lead of the game. I never thought that was happening.

The match between leverkusen vs stuttgart was also giving me half win too. Even though the odds were very small but it's still making me feel good caused by i was predicting it all correctly.
It will be very hard to predict the upcoming games of UCL. I think that EPL teams are not also in good shapes at this moment.

Let's take a look at the newcastle. My feeling said that if newcastle will be out or goes to the europa league. I think that the biggest issue owned by newcastle probably on its defensive lines. Newcastle was always conceding lots of goals.
This is more than enough to be used as a strong proof about how to garbage the defensive line of newcastle.

Newcastle must be so careful when it will be facing the last match day, a mistake can cost newcastle's chance to qualify. The match against totenham was also giving unpredictable result.
I thought that newcastle was winning the game.
