I am surprised when people refuse to see an obvious thing or when they see something obvious but try to drag in something else to distract attention. The first person had mentioned that Hojlund is the problem of Manchester United because he is not an experienced striker while the other person said that the problem of Manchester United is the goalie because he is having a slow start in the Manchester United team.

I will rather say both Hojlund and Onana, none is the problem of Manchester United. The formation both mentioned above is one of the problems and we should instead blame the coach for that. Right from time, Manchester United is known for playing wing football and the current formation doesn't allow the players to explore the wing. In other words, wingers like Rashford doesn't recognise Hojlund, those are the problems.

Ten Hag is not the caused of Manchester united poor performance in this season because, he was the one that made the team to ended up top 4th in the premier league competition last year which he can still do something meaningful if the players can organize themselves through out the remaining games. I guess, Manchester united coach made some mistakes during the summer by releasing their formal goalkeeper that saved the teams from the hands of the strong teams last season but since they brought in new goalkeeper, many things has changed negatively in their performance.

 I know that, if Ten Hag fail to resolve this poor performance on ground before the end of their three games, he can get a sack letter from Manchester united president and he will bring in new coach that can help the team to develop good results before the end of the tournament.

And whatever the reason, the Tottenham vs Chelsea match was really very interesting and I was very entertained because the match between the two teams was full of drama and five goals were disallowed, seven yellow cards and two red cards were issued by referee Michael Oliver, and five of them were valid. 1 Tottenham goal and 4 Chelsea goals and the final score is 1-4.
And the two red cards received by Tottenham were indeed their fault, perhaps because the atmosphere of the match was so fierce that Tottenham got carried away. And it's true that you think Chelsea can't be consistent in every match, but sometimes there are surprises. And in the match against Manchester City I think Chelsea will lose, because in terms of game and squad, Manchester City players are much better than Tottenham and Chelsea and they also play more relaxed and don't get carried away by the opponent's atmosphere.

I think that Manchester United have enough experiments and that’s why Hug doesn’t want to change anything. Things are not going according to the best plan for the Red Devils anyway. Manchester United needs stability and good interaction between players, so it’s better than changing something again. Changes for Manchester United are not good for them...

It's also quite puzzling why he keeps the 4-2-3-1 formation. He may be trying to experiment which of the player combination would fit his preferred style. That sounds good in a way but it's just weird that he doesn't mix it up.

It's not just about the strikers but also the goalkeeper having a slow start too which is also surprising since Onana isn't some newbie.

It seems to me that Chelsea won quite naturally and predictably. Firstly, Chelsea is a strong team and their level of play is much higher than that of Tottenham. secondly, the preparation for the match in Chelsea is a level higher. and finally, let's not forget about the fans. Chelsea fans create such an atmosphere that anyone will play at their best.
Yes, Tottenham had 9 players but that's no excuse. It's your own fault. Poor preparation and lack of experience..

The same Tottenham fans criticizing Chelsea for playing against two man down Tottenham team are forgetting so quick that it was almost same drama that happened in their favour that they had to play against 9 man Liverpool team three weekends ago and got a victory against them, this is karma reoccurring.

Ange Postecoglou tactic of defending from the midfield (upline defense ) with a two man down was lame. It is common that any coach will sit the defense in the 18th yard box to reduce pressure and goals but  Spur manager couldn't think of that and Chelsea hard to capitalize on the silly tactic with counter attacks. The EPL table will be gradually taking shape as I had expected to see the team's in high forms and performance at the beginning of the season losing more future games.

Really, I'm not surprised, because I predicted it beforehand. It's just that, I think Poche will rotate some of his players, especially their center forward. because, previously I have referred to many references that Chelsea will make changes. but in fact, Poche still plays Nicolas Jackson as the main starter. As the match progressed, Spurs took the lead in the 8th minute and I already suspected that this would happen.
as I said, Chelsea has the potential to provide resistance and even win the match if Poche is willing to innovate and experiment by rotating some of his players. especially, for the goalscoring players they have. but luck said otherwise, even though what I predicted was correct. However, the actual course of the match did not match expectations. Chelsea was able to win this match, because two Sprus players were given red cards. plus, unmitigated, two Spurs players were withdrawn due to injury. Ange took Maddison out, Van de Van, because he was allegedly having injury problems. Chelsea's victory over Spurs was due to nothing other than great luck.

On the Spurs side, this defeat was very detrimental to them. apart from 2 players being injured. the other two had to be absent due to red cards. Now, Spurs are in 2nd place. and it seems that Ange Postecoglou has to be prepared for a decline in his team's performance in the next few matches. Let's see, can Spurs come back or vice versa.

Manchester United had a poor start to the season last season. But towards the end of the season we saw that Manchester United's performance was quite stable and consistent. Due to this, the team finally managed to qualify for the Champions League. A good performance towards the end of the season gave fans confidence in Ten Hag. But this season we are seeing bad coaching from Ten Hag.

Manchester United's squad does not have an experienced striker. Hojlund cannot be considered a first-line striker. More importantly, we can clearly see that Manchester United are not doing well in the 4-2-3-1 formation, they are having a lot of trouble scoring goals, yet Ten Hag continues this formation. Manchester's attack is unlikely to improve without changes in this formation and match strategy.

Tottenham lost that match but they are not weak but losing two players, they can not have good performance against a big opponent like Chelsea. Hope this defeat won't trigger a free fall of Tottenham as Premier League needs them to have a more exciting race for a title. If only Manchester City and Arsenal race for it, the league will become more boring.

It's hard to predict Chelsea performance because they have many star players who can wake up and have a good match. They don't have good form and still in a long crisis since the last season but they are type of unpredictable opponent and can not be underestimated.

Will Chelsea continue their good form and officially recover from this surprising win? I don't know and I will need some more matches from Chelsea to say my opinion about them.

I think it's natural when you look at the match that happened because in the end when 11 players against 9 players it will be very difficult especially it's Chelsea where when they face a club that is comparable in terms of level then they will play better than playing against a club whose level is below them.
In addition, many goals were scored in this match because even if it was 11 against 11 Chelsea could also play well even the previous 2 goals they were blocked by VAR which made this really very reasonable when saying Tottenham's defeat in this match.
This is not a matter of statistics and history of previous matches because in the end 90 minutes clearly prove that sometimes even the club that is not favoured can still get 3 points with unexpected scores and drama in 90 minutes of the match.

Knowing too well that Chelsea's victory yesterday was based on the injuries that some Tottenham players had and joined with the red card. Chelsea shouldn't be given any credit on winning their next match with Manchester City. This is because City is stronger than them and have not lost only two matches. Manchester City have their complete players for that match and they will be playing aggressively because they saw how Chelsea won Tottenham.

Chelsea performance is unpredictable as they will win one match today and lose the next two or three next matches, which makes it not impossible for the blues to win because of inconsistency and poor performance. Chelsea will only play their best and see what will be the outcome, if possible maybe a draw but it can never be a win for them.

However, this was a match worth watching and with so much drama in this match, the big match at the end of Week 12 was truly memorable.
Tottenham at the start of the first half were very good but Chelsea also really gave their best performance in their match today.
Regardless of the final score I personally really liked the game of both. Some Tottenham players had problems because of the high tension created in this match and indeed the loss of Cristian Romero and Udogie really made things different in this match because even when the match was 11 against 11 there were so many chances and goals created despite the VAR but after Tottenham played with 9 people it was actually finished for them.

Ange and Tottenham fans will be upset with the recent news of injuries and Ange will have difficulty picking  his first eleven players to fave wolves especially next week in the Premier league live action.
Romero has been a tough man for Tottenham behind same with the Italian Udogie. The unpredictable Maddison  has also been confirmed injured? There was no direct contact on him, he must have step on the ground  the wrong way. Udogie should miss a game while Romero should be three games.  And Tottenham next three games are not looking funny. They may not win all the games with the recent news and injuries.

Seriously, if Chelsea did not win that match, it will be a very big shame and disappointment. Why will they play with nine players and still don’t win? I believe that will bring more criticism to the club, so it’s better that they win even though we know they are not in good form like Tottenham Spurs. However, Chelsea winning is not lucky, and everyone who said it’s lucky will argue with such a person because even with the nine players that Tottenham Spurs have by then, they still dominated themselves in that match to see them succeed. And you can see how Jackson was playing well, so both teams did well in the match.


They made a mistake by committing those fouls seriously, and this will be a lesson for them and they won’t repeat it again, so let's see how they will continue their matches since I believe this defeat will not shake their position in the standings; they will still be at the top. However, did you think this defeat would discourage Spurs from their performance? As you are saying, Manchester City will win another trophy; we don’t have to guarantee that yet. Spurs are still doing well, and this defeat won’t make us lose hope in them. I believe they will do more to maintain their position in the standings.

I just read this, the local media in my country said that there are 6 Man United players who want Ten Hag to leave. But it doesn't detail who those players are. But I myself was a little disappointed with Ten Hag's performance. He did not immediately bring Man United to improve. Last season they had a positive effect. But this year has been terrible. Even players who don't get along have to be separated and will even be sold. It doesn't seem to have to be that way, players and coaches should be equally appreciative. Because I think the player that Ten Hag exiled is a good player.

Tottenham fans criticized Chelsea for playing against 9 players, but they failed to acknowledge their own players' mistakes in committing serious fouls.
Ange was not feeling good with the result as well as son. I can see that from his expression after the match ended. Son, has been trying so hard in making the situation even better but he can't.

I think that anyone shall only care with the result on the board. People with good sense will not care with some drama but the result is something that being determined as the result from the match that has already happened before.
Chelsea needs to take this moment caused by the blues will meet manchester city at home. Chelsea has obviously a little bit advantage over manchester city in upcoming game but city is also very strong this time.

So does Chelsea win over Tottenham make your bet more reasonable for Chelsea when they face Man City later? I don't think Chelsea victory can be used as a strong reference, any club will very easily play a role on the field when their opponent receives 2 red cards. Then any coach will easily instruct a full attack. Because if in that match Chelsea was unable to bring home 3 points, it means something was wrong. For me, Man City, even though they are still without players like Kevin de Bruyne, can still deliver a landslide victory. Currently Pep has Doku who seems to be starting to enjoy his playing position at Man City and that is a special note for Chelsea's defense.

No need to explain, we all know that Manchester City is clearly better than Chelsea and we can't use Chelsea's last match results as their performance because it's not a fair match, did you know Tottenham played with 9 players because 2 players were given red cards? so it wouldn't be a surprise if Chelsea beat Tottenham at home due to the fact it is 9 vs 11 players. Chelsea might be able to beat Manchester City if the situation is the same as yesterday's match 9 vs 11 but in a normal match it would be very difficult for Chelsea to win and even a draw would be difficult moreover Manchester City still has the ambition to secure the standings after being dominated by Tottenham in the last few weeks.

I'm not underestimating Chelsea but that is a possibility that could happen in the next match based on the average performance of both teams, I checked Chelsea's match schedule and in my opinion Chelsea will have tough matches in the next 4 matches I mean Chelsea's opponents are stronger and above them based on the standings Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton and Manchester united.

In essence, Pochettino managed to embarrass Tottenham at home, even though at the same time Tottenham had a very good trend at this moment. As for Chelsea, obviously beforehand we might also underestimate Chelsea because of the bad trend experienced by Chelsea at this moment too . But what happened was very unexpected, who thought Chelsea managed beat Tottenham with a score of 1-4, obviously it was a surprise when the performance of the Chelsea team was not good at this moment. So yes, I think this victory is a success for Pochettino to beat his old team, and obviously this is a very embarrassing and disappointing defeat for Tottenham.
