The two teams showed very different performances. Even though at the start of the first half Sheffield looked like it could keep up with Newcastle but after Newcastle scored the second goal, Sheffield's confidence crumbled and they looked messy on the field. Newcastle could read the problems Sheffield was facing on the field, therefore they played even more fiercely in the second half, as if they knew very well that they could score lots of goals with their opponents in a ragged condition.

It's a common thing since those clubs were promoted club but the unbelievable thing to see chelsea is slowly but surely moving down even deeper. It may compete with those three promoted clubs for the relegation zone.
Things are going so bad for chelsea at this moment. I can accept those three clubs performed so badly caused by their level was still far compared with the EPL team but what about chelsea? The level of this club is pretty much the same like those promotion clubs.
The club is always having same start, same crap every week since EPL was starting. It would be amazing to see chelsea to be placed at the relegation zone along with those promotion clubs.
It's very disappointed for chelsea. Pochettino does nothing so far. He was only making so many excuses.

Yes, I also agree with you regarding Newcastle's chances of becoming Premier League champions, even though they are making a strong comeback to regain their glory. However, to secure the championship, Newcastle will need more than what they currently have. Nonetheless, finishing in the top 4 this season would still be a commendable achievement for them.
The pressure is mounting on him, and it's not hard to predict that Chelsea will lose their next match. I suspect that Mauricio Pochettino might be sacked if Chelsea continues to lose, especially against Brighton in the next game.

The team spent so much money to start this season but what happened was truly beyond expectations. I don't know for sure who is fully responsible for Chelsea's current poor performance. Indeed, Mauricio Pochettino should be responsible, but this team was built. and the players were bought by the team management so Mauricio Pochettino cannot be completely blamed.

There is a difference in the quality of wins between the Sheffield United and Newcastle teams, but we didn't expect the Newcastle team to win with such a big score.
This is a very positive result to start Newcastle's revival this season and proves that this team does have good quality and of course this big win will make the Newcastle team even more confident going into the next match.

Liverpool had an Awful performance last season and managed to qualify in the Europa League but i think they're trying to make up for their errors this season and have been so impressive since the beginning of this season, they're one of the strongest contenders for the league this season and are currently unbeaten in the league with just two points behind the league leader and i think they'll be very successful this season, in both the EPL and Europa League.

 Their Manager Jurgen klopp is very serious in delivering his team to success this season and he rejected the position of the Germany national team manager that was given to Nagelsmann recently to keep him focused on delivering Liverpool this season and I think he made the right choice because it's paying off and his teams performance is very brilliant.

I'm also quite surprised by Liverpool's performance even after losing several key players. I believe it's the result of their collective unity and solidarity. Jürgen Klopp is truly talented and has implemented a sharp and hard-to-beat style of play at Liverpool.
The owners of Chelsea were clearly upset after the disappointing loss in last night's match. It appears that they are slowly running out of patience with Mauricio Pochettino, even though they publicly stated that they would give him more time. Rebuilding a struggling Chelsea is undoubtedly a tough task for Mauricio Pochettino, and I think it will be challenging for Chelsea to maintain their position in the rankings, let alone in the top 4.

Sheffield must have been in awful form because eight Newcastle players scored one goal each... I understand when a few players score goals, usually strikers... But in this match only three Newcastle players didn't score a goal, one of which is the goalkeeper... I believe that this is not a comeback for Newcastle, but a fluke...

What's so sad about it? I mean it's commonly known that they will struggle and it's rare that a promoted team will survive their first season into the top flight football. The gap isn't that wide yet so any of the three can still make it. One of them will probably replace Everton hehe. I'm guessing it will be Burnley but let's see again after five more games.

Chelsea were only opportune to win them because Luton Town is an amateur team that lack no knowledge of the premier league which I guess this is their first time of featuring in the premier League since the creation of the team. I still feel it is not by their expertise they were able to win that game, if it was by that, they would have been able to replicate that in other games they played with other smaller teams in the premier League.

If Chelsea don’t rectify this issue now at the early stage of this season’s competition, they will end up finishing in a worse position in the standings as compared to last season. If they don’t improve soon, by the end of the season, they might even fall in the relegation zone which I think will be worst case scenario to happen to them after how much they’ve spent to get new players in the team.


Liverpool have really impressed me so far this season. From there playing pattern to finishing, everything is just top notch now. They just need to be consistent in this form and they’ll finish on a better position this season and also can get a qualification to the champions league by next season. With the way Manchester City are in form now, Liverpool I think is the only team that can withstand them and give them a tough fight to lose points. I don’t see that in any other team, not even Arsenal that will be their closest title contender this season if they don’t fumble along the way.

It's quite sad to see the 3 teams promoted so far, they are in very bad shape now and it is quite doubtful that any of them will survive to continue playing in the English Premier League, none of them have impressed. Sheffield finally suffered a crushing defeat against Newcastle, sometimes playing at home didn't give them the slightest advantage so they couldn't avoid defeat. This defeat might make the players' mental state even lower because they were destroyed in front of the public.
Sheffield could only score 5 goals from 6 matches and conceded 17 goals, making them the team that conceded the most goals, and when facing stronger teams like Liverpool or Brighton which are quite productive teams, they have to be careful because of big losses it is very possible that they experienced it.

Seeing that Liverpool managed to win in a quite tense match because West Ham put up quite a tight resistance, especially when the visiting team managed to equalize, it was quite a crucial time for Liverpool but once again they managed to get out of quite a difficult situation and scored two additional goals, and it looks like Darwin Nunez has found his playing pattern.

I am difficult to judge whether they have been able to adjust or not but certainly what I can see for the Chelsea squad now, those who are mostly young players do not have a strong push from some players who have experience in the EPL before because most of the "Senior" players have gone on sale by Chelsea before.
On the other hand saying they still can't adjust is also indisputable because in the end we also know how their perfrma is and some players like Mudryk or Enzo are still stuck with their previous league.

For the Pochettino problem I agree he is a coach who has experience in the EPL especially when he coached Tottenham but on the other hand in this case the decision to sell some great players who have considerable experience at Chelsea I think this is questionable because in the end if Pochettino's decision is known like that then the results that are now happening can actually be predicted from a long time ago.

It seems even Mauricio Pochettino couldn't help Chelsea in this season and just like last season, they are still in a bad situation no matter if many players left this team and other players joined there, still, Chelsea is still not in a good situation and recently they couldn't win a game except for the game against Luton Town. While Luton Town is not a strong team at all but the only win Chelsea had recently was against Luton Town.

I see that with this defeat, Chelsea's chances of leaving the Premier League have increased to 1 in 51  This is a small chance, but for comparison it is 1 in 251 for United and 1 in 501 for Brighton. But at the same time, Chelsea still has a good chance of entering the top 4: 1 in 5. This is only 20%, but is this not enough for a dream? 
I don't know how long the crisis in Chelsea will last or how quickly it will end, but it looks like their fans will mostly suffer.

Alot is going on in the team currently, from the poor investment, to the injury crisis, to lack of confidence level of the team and that's why the team is suffering badly lately, and to make the whole situation worst, one of their key players Malo Gusto got booked with a red card in the match against Aston Villa, which puts more pressure on the coach due to lack of options, well Chelsea dominated the game and created some chances but couldn't convert to a goal due to lack of a good finisher.

 Pochettino needs to think fast because they'll be facing Brighton in their next match at Stamford Bridge, but they're going to get it very tough, because Brighton have been in a very good form this season, and if he continue losing he might end up losing his managerial role very soon.

Chelsea problems appear to be caused by more than just bad investments. Despite significant investment, they continue to perform poorly, placing tremendous pressure on the owner. Fans are discouraged as a top four finish appears to be getting harder to come by. Todd Boehly, a big investor, may become frustrated by ongoing losses, endangering Pochettino employment. Pochettino needs to develop a winning strategy nevertheless if he wants to avoid being the third coach to be fired. It is critical to recover from the team injuries and strengthen the bench. A turnaround can be imminent if the board accepts these difficulties and gives Pochettino time.

Can't help it but I have to let it out, Chelsea have lost it completely at the moment and I don't see them getting close to 5th position with all have seen yesterday.
What's happening to the Blues?
I don't think is the coach that's the problem because I know how the fans do behave, when things are not going their way they turn to the coach and start slamming him. At this point they just need to go on a long term prayers because that's the only remedy as it is.
I watched the game against Aston Villa and Chelsea could not hold the ball for long and not to even make Aston Villa struggle for the ball, everything was just different. Aston Villa played better like they were Chelsea, nobody on the Blues jersey could even hold on to the ball and give a clear pass.
I don't want to talk about Jackson because he's not what they want him to be but still on still the Chelsea side only have players who doesn't know how to shot from outside the box but they have players who knows how to run like headless chickens without direction and is just annoying.
Nobody should talk about sacking Pochettino because he's trying his best to make those players play as a unit.

I don't think howe's target to be a champion of EPL right now. I meant howe must realize if there was manchester city who had been always become the strongest candidate to win the game. Newcastle's target to enter into the top position to be eligible for UCL spot next season.
It's caused by winning UCL spot is as good as winning trophy. The club will get more exposure and additional income. This is really good for newcastle. Newcastle's performance is still far from good.
That's why eddie shall not put a very high target for newcastle at this moment. The club needs to build up its club again, caused by some positions have become the major weakness of newcastle.
Sheffield was nothing compared with newcastle at this moment. Im concerning about the match against PSG that will happen soon.

So are they still not adjusting the EPL culture or are they not adjusting? Some of Chelsea's players were players last season who were still pretty much retained by Mauricio Pochettino. Is it still lacking too. I think Pochettino is an experienced coach. So he's not a bad coach. Maybe the middle of the season is a good time for evaluation, but I also don't really like it if the club always changes coaches quickly. Because I believe they need a process of at least 1 or 2 years.

I hope Newcastle don't turn into a team like Leicester later. I mean it would be lovely to see Newcastle also winning the Premier League title one day.    However if they also turn into a team struggling to cling to the Premier League and even drop down to the Championship then it would be really disappointing.

But there is a difference between Newcastle and Leicester. Newcastle are currently one of the richest teams in Europe. Therefore they would find a way to build even a more solid team and prevent such probability at a high rate.

This is really a nightmare for Manchester United fans because the crisis this season season like its never going to end this season.
Poor tran window
Injury Crisis
Glaziers stalling the sale of the club
Antony's Acquisation
Dressing room leak
Sancho's suspension and lots more.

 Now Marcus Rashford car crash, all this Crisis ongoing makes me wonder if Manchester United are cursed with badluck because there's no weak that's passed without any negative news from Manchester United and it's getting out of hand because all this is enough to affect the coach mentality cause he'll be going through lots on how to handle the situation, well I just hope Marcus Rashford is in a good shape.
