EPL is competitive, we have teams that won't make it up and we have the ones that are competing for solid trophies and significant positions on the table. The performance of the Toffees will improve, it's just a matter of time for the club to adapt to the present situation of the club. Points deductions is the main reason behind the sudden decline in performance. Everton headcoach, Sean Dyche have vision and an important task to complete this season. His team is in the relegation zone, definitely a burden on the fans and the players.

Everton's victory against Nottingham indeed made Everton closer to getting out of the relegation zone. But unfortunately next week Everton have quite a difficult match. namely Everton have to face Newcastle next week. Even though Everton will host the match next week. But because the opponent is Newcastle, I think this will be a very difficult match for Everton to win. In this match, Everton will probably just try not to lose and getting a draw will probably be Everton's focus. Because if Everton play too aggressively it will only make Everton's defense a little weak. So Everton may have to use a defensive strategy and counterattack. In this way, Everton, which is much weaker than Newcastle, still has a chance to win if Everton is successful in maintaining its defense and succeeds in making a quick counter-attack.

The victory achieved by Liverpool made them manage to get 2nd place in the standings. Liverpool does have a better performance than Fulham but I think their defense doesn't look solid enough and this is what made them concede 3 goals. Even though Liverpool dominated the match, Fulham actually did not play badly. They even made a bit of a surprise when they scored a goal in the 80th minute which put them ahead 3-2 for a while, but Liverpool managed to make a comeback and ended the match with a 4-3 win.

It was great to see Everton finally win again after the last time they did it was against Crystal Palace two weeks earlier. Last night's win against Nottingham was also special because they needed points to move out of the relegation zone after being deducted 10 points some time ago.

Against Nottigham in an away game is certainly not easy for Everton but this narrow victory will definitely pump up the enthusiasm of the whole team to get a better finishing place for this season. Despite the problems that Everton have faced, I think they still deserve to be in the EPL until next season and now it's just a matter of how they maintain their current performance in the next match.

Yeah in general Manchester City's performance has indeed declined but we know that their opponents are strong teams in the league so we can consider it normal and their battle has not ended as you said their next opponent is Aston Villa obviously it's not easy especially they will play away, we don't know how Manchester City's steps are in the race because they have been 3 points behind Arsenal. Meanwhile Arsenal are still safe in the next 2 weeks because their opponents are easier but on December 24 they will face Liverpool well here Manchester City will take advantage because one of their competitors will lose points, but if Arsenal wins then that means Arsenal's position will be better in the standings. What is clear is that until now we have not been able to predict who won the title we have 3 teams that have the same opportunity, although Arsenal is closer but it's not safe enough.

One mistake I think a lot of us are making is we are still rating Manchester City this season based on their performance of last season and that's why a lot of people lost their stakes yesterday as they had predicted a Manchester City win even when it's visible that they're not as effective as they were last season. If all the traditional big teams in England that Manchester City have face this season before their game against Tottenham Hotspur yesterday which includes Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea they were able to defeat on Manchester United while drawing with Liverpool and Chelsea aw well as losing to Arsenal. The same fixtures last season had different results as they picked more points from the same fixtures last season.

Pep Guardiola's without doubt are still strong contenders for the league title this season but having drawn their last three English Premier League games, they'll have to improve in their performance to still stand a chance to win the league title.

The most highlighted thing in the last three matches played by Manchester City in the Premier League is their defense, they have conceded 8 goals in these three matches which has resulted in them failing to achieve maximum results. A draw in three consecutive games is not a good result for Manchester City, as they lost 6 points in the last three matches leaving them 3 points behind Arsenal who are at the top of the standings.
Manchester City weak defense meant that the victory that was in sight when they hosted Tottenham was suddenly lost, a goal scored by Kulusevski in the 90th minute forced them to share points with the visitors.

Manchester City must immediately end the series of draws, Pep Guardiola needs to improve the quality of his squad's defense so they can record a clean-sheet in the next match. A strong defense will make it very easy to win, especially since Manchester City attack line is still very sharp.

When you talk like that then you should agree with what I said because looking at this match I don't think Chelsea are bad it's just that for the whole they played this season the fact is they are bad
I'm still quite objective in my judgment even though I don't like Chelsea because after all they played very well and the 3 points they got were not the result of an easy win because they played against a pretty strong club Brighton as well as with the situation of losing players but they were still able to bring 3 points in this match which proves that they played very well.
It's just that for the whole match they run in this season we also can't say they are good because they are still not stable in performance.

I saw some moments Man City were aggrieved by the referee. One of them was advanted when Haaland was fouled. He was already able to get up and give a key pass, but the referee blew the whistle because of Haaland's foul. I saw even Pep angry on the sidelines.  Maybe it can change the result, but the game is over and the final result is known to us. Next I am still waiting regarding the Man City case.  

With the results that Manchester City received in the last few matches they ran this really gave a big advantage to Arsenal but not only Arsenal, now Liverpool also get the same advantage when they managed to shift the position of Manchester City at this time.

But instead this reminds me of last season where the scenario was quite the same because in the middle of the season Manchester City also experienced problems but in the end the competition started afterwards.
Manchester City need to make some breakthroughs now especially with the last match in the Chmapions League it has no impact on them so at least there are a few weeks for Manchester City to focus on the EPL.

For me, revolutionizing the club won't change things if the owners aren't ready to change their behavior. It would just be like walking in circles. Man UTD during the days of Rooney and the rest was a very formidable side and if hear your team is paired against them, you'd get shivers but now, it's not the case. They're really living in the shadows of past glory. I heard there's a line up of potential coaches that would seem a better replacement for Erik ten Hag and honestly I dunno if those coaches will fancy a job at Old Trafford.
Who wouldn't go bonkers? See for a club like Man City, and with the reputation they've built for themselves it's easy to say Pep is frustrated. This is the third draw they are having in a row and this is to clubs they could have easily beaten with their eyes closed.
 I won't blame Pep either if he felt the ref didn't do a good job but before the ref interfered, they had clean opportunities to lead the game with 5 goals but it seems the dark day is slowly setting on them.

Tottenham Hotspur form at the beginning of the season was classic but fell short after playing fewer big games this season, they couldn't maintain the balance of their match. Ange Postecoglou have tried for Tottenham Hotspur. He was fire this season but got unfortunate when his key players picked critical injuries. Postecoglou now have what he needs to motivate himself for upcoming games. Tottenham Hotspur didn't give up against Manchester City at Etihad Stadium yesterday, they mounted pressure for the equalizer and they finally achieved it this season.

I forgot that when facing Chelsea, Manchester City also got a draw, so they have lost a total of 6 points from the last 5 matches, and the three draws were obtained when they were already ahead, so it is quite a question of how their strategy can be predicted by their opponents easily so force them to draw, and it's also quite surprising how two of those three draws happened at the Etihad Stadium.
When they will face Aston Villa in the mid-week, a team that can be said to be quite good, so Manchester City should not be careless about the possibility of bad results because Aston Villa is a productive team, even though their defense is not that special. After all, it can be said that it is easy for opponents to penetrate, but several good teams are beaten by Aston Villa, it should be a warning to Pep Guardiola because this streak of draws may continue, making them lose more points.

Well, Arsenal is currently far from safe. Because the journey this season is still long. The most important thing is that Arteta must keep the Arsenal squad in their best condition and continue to maintain their consistency throughout the season. Because if they are just a little careless, Man City will probably take the top position again easily. Last season, Man City took first place from Arsenal quite easily. And in fact, if Arsenal had not weakened at the end of the season then Arsenal would have definitely won the title last season. But unfortunately none of that happened. And Arsenal must try even harder this season. Moreover, currently Liverpool is also in the hunt. Even Liverpool's consistency seems very convincing this season. The competition will really be tougher than last season. And only the team that can truly be consistent until the end will win.

I admit that Man City chances of winning yesterday were very big, but what disappointed me was that for some reason, in the second half, Man City was under continuous pressure from Spurs attacking players and there was only a slight margin in possession of the ball.
even though previously they were 3 points ahead and Spurs were only 2 and that when I hoped that at least Mam City defense would be strengthened but it seemed like they would lose concentration and conceded 1 more score by Kulusevski.

I also admit that Spurs performance was good enough yesterday to be able to hold a draw against the big teams in the EPL and I am worried that Spurs will return to their strong performance as before and endanger Man City position which is currently just below Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester City is currently struggling whenever they meet the big teams. They have conceded 8 goals in their last 3 EPL games. And have failed to get a win in the last 4 matches.

In that time Rodri has amassed 3 yellow cards and now a suspension for their trio to villa on Wednesday. It's all fun when Rodri is controlling the midfield but when players run past him, he is vulnerable. He needs Stones quickly. If stones should be back i think we will see the impact of Rodri again as he has been unimpressive these last matches.

I am sure that Pep is going crazy right now especially because of yesterday game against Tottenham. Specifically, when Tottenham equalized the last goal i saw his reaction. This was exactly the same incident that happened between them and Chelsea and not it repeats again but different score lines.

It's with a heavy day that I have to say that Manchester United haven't been good this season, but I think their status as an elite EPL club remains with them. Regarding Manchester City, what they have shown in their matches with fellow elite clubs has been very good, the only thing they have lacked so far is maximum points. It is clear to all of us that Liverpool will try to maintain its consistency to catch Arsenal at the top of the standings, and I think the top four will continue to change as long as the season ends.

Manchester United needs to carry out a revolution within the club, there must be changes in the future if they don't want to be labeled as a mediocre club. If it is necessary to release the coach and several players then it must be done immediately, before it is too late. Pep Guardiola really understands that, to defend the EPL trophy, it cannot be achieved in the current way, They must push the number of goals conceded by strengthening their defense, as in the two matches against Chelsea and most recently against Tottenham.

Liverpool last season had a forgettable campaign both in the domestic league and in Europe as well but has taken it upon themselves to make up for their poor outing last season and yesterday's late win against Fulham showed how determined they are to really make up for their poor campaign of last season. It was a game that was filled with beautiful goals as three of Liverpool's goals were all scored from outside the box. Trent Alexander-Arnold was undoubtedly the best player of the game and was the man that scored the 88th minute goal that helped Liverpool grab all three points from that game. With their recent performances, Liverpool are undoubtedly one of the strongest contenders for the English Premier League title this season.

Anyone who closely followed up the Chelsea team last season I think will attest to the fact that they've significantly improved since the start of the season thanks to the new tactical approach of the current manager Mauricio Pochettino. But I think the club fans are still expecting more from Chelsea and that's because of the kind of quality players at the club's disposal this season. Chelsea without doubt dominated most part of their game against Brighton and Hove Albion yesterday but after Conor Gallagher was shown the red card, the away team then utilized the opportunity of playing against 10 men to press the Chelsea defense and were rewarded with a stoppage time goal which wasn't enough to stop Chelsea from winning the game. Mauricio Pochettino is progressively improving the performance of the Chelsea team from what we saw last season but I think he can still do more with his squad.

The last weekend was not that good for Manchester City and in this season alot have not been well with the title holders of the last two season, Manchester City is on the verge of compiling alot of points to be able to stay ahead of other clubs who may be putting up a strong come back in the premier leagues this season.

Most of the time, we have mistaken the draw to mean success but in this case, we have to realize the risk that is associated with draw like innthe last weekend's Manchester City draw with 3 goals.

Although, the goals number looks great, but then also we have to realize the place of clubs like Liverpool who are making a strong come back un this season and also winning their match on the weekend with multiple goals.

Aston villa is quite a tough team from their previous match with Bournemouth they played excellent and from my view the match between Manchester city and Aston villa the match will not be an easy one for both teams.
I was surprised I didn't expect a draw from Manchester city the worst part a home game, most people keep blaming the ref I saw what the ref did but the Manchester city I know will still put more effort, the game between Manchester city and Tottenham didn't look surprising to most people, I actually said we should not just conclude yet despite Tottenham poor performance from their games we should not conclude and yesterday everyone was surprised, well it seems Tottenham are back.
