But it cannot be denied that although in terms of actual results this match is quite good and in statistics it is quite balanced but seeing the way Chelsea and Manchester United play is actually quite tactical even though the tension is still very fast like the way EPL matches in general but they are too careful in this case so that it makes the ball roll more in the middle with back passes and midfield battles rather than trying to insist on 3 points which might be said to be boring.

I think it is quite natural when there will be some people who say this because indeed the EPL treat especially for big matches is always very big so when there is a big match happening but the two clubs try to hold back more because they are satisfied with 1 point owned then there will definitely be some people who say this is boring even though for some others this is still worth watching.


In conclusion, the match was just a 50/50 match. The two clubs were too careful of themselves not to lose a point at the end of the game because a point is still better than none. Let them go happily and prepare for their next match.
Manchester United has done well, the same as Chelsea. Both team's strengths are just equal in today's match. If Manchester United should continue having this type of play, they won't be having backlash of insults from their fans. At least they may see to the 6th-7th spot before the end of the season, while Chelsea may be among the top four contestants of the PL
That's the point but you can't blame them and you can't blame the people who thought the match was monotonous because it's a situation that comes down to perspective.

1 Point they consider enough and it is indeed a feasibility because for a big match like this clearly we also know that losing points will be much worse so in this case 1 point is considered satisfactory especially for Manchester United who are indeed in the transition of changing coaches for now.

Maybe I can't intervene further because boredom is subjective, so yes I feel strange to have to say it.
BTW the game of defense and defense is wrong is a match strategy yes even though we see the match some of us are not happy, especially for people who like aggressiveness in the game, it will not appeal to them, they prefer to rain goals and such to attract attention, I quite appreciate it, but but my claim is when the competition at the top is very tight and there are some teams that hold back to protect themselves it is their strategy.
Nope mate, in this case I'm not going to question the scheme whether it is offensive or defensive because in the end this is clearly part of the plan in a match but if we look at the course of the match it is clear that both clubs (Chelsea and Manchester United) are more restrained and careful because they don't want to miss in normal time.

Although maybe this is also part of the strategy carried out but for big matches there is a situation that seems to be lacking because they seem to be satisfied with 1 point owned so that when looking at a fast match it seems a little monotonous and is considered by some to be a boring match because in the end the ball is more in the middle of the field or the tempo that will be fast is always slowed down again which makes the rhythm of the match seem lighter unlike big matches usually.

IMO, the problem is that United players are unable to convert their chances into goals. If I look at their data from match to match, they always have several chances according to statistics. However, the problem is that Man United players are not productive. I don't know what their problem is, looking at several of their matches, their pure strikers have a hard time scoring goals. Luckily in last night's match Man United drew, at least, under Nistelrooy's guidance they did not experience defeat.

Not many games have they played under him therefore it's not worth saying that Manchester United haven't gotten a lost under hime. He has played only 2 or three games. After playing as many as 5 game, he would have conceded defeat. But unfortunately he won't be handling the team after the next game. The main new coach will be taking over. Manchester United really tried in yesterday game. I didn't expect them to play Chelsea in the way that they played. They almost won the game but Garnacho was selfish, many times he could have passed the ball to his teammates and it'll become an attempt or a goal but he didn't, the ending is as usual draws.

Let love lead
Manchester City have just faced heir first defeat in the premier league this season in a two goal win against one from Bournemouth and this also happens to be the first win for Bournemouth against Manchester City in the history of the premier league. Bournemouth had some other good chances to have scored more goals but failed to utilise them. The pressure on them was much in the final minutes and if they had drew this game against Manchester City, it would have been a big shame to them after already leading with two goals and had more chances to score more goals and they failed to. Liverpool have now moved to the top of the table after Manchester City loss which they also won their match against Brighton after a first half lead by Brighton which they equalised in the second half.
Just like what I pointed out in my last few comments, Manchester City and every other big names in the Premier will be facing alot of strong resistance in this season, because other smaller clubs in the Premier leagues that need to create record for themselves have being working tirelessly to meet up with the demand of time and just in this weekend alone, two of the big clubs lost their match, Manchester and Asernal both hard a bad outing today.

Only Liverpool stands the chances of making it to the top of the table this season and I am sure their are going to be mentaining that position for a while before any other thing can happen.

If you have being following up from last weekend, you will have notice that the trend of defeating bigger clubs began in last weekend, so this time is just a follow up of what have already started.
Liverpool would have lost their match if they were playing at away . Manchester City and Arsenal has been facing injury crisis for long time now. Liverpool has to utilize this opportunity to gather as many points as they can. Bournemouth and Newcastle were outstanding today and I will say they both deserved their winning today. Manchester City lacked that creativity in their team and it was very obvious to see. I didn't know Doku was fit to play. I was wondering why pep Guardiola brought him so late in the match. The few minutes he played, he was far better than Nunez. I'm impressed with Liverpool they did well today.
Indeed, Liverpool would've had a very bad campaign yesterday and joined the league of losers if they were visiting Brighton. Brighton pulled good level of resistance to them even though they were playing from away. Manchester city started impressing me in the final minutes of the second half. I think Doku is a big name there.

Garnacho was clearly the weapon fashioned against Manchester United yesterday. He had clear chances to place Manchester United up front but showed low quality in his delivery. Caicedo masterclass volley enabled Chelsea share points with the home team. I think Chelsea should always start important matches with E. Fernandez, The match took a different turn when he was subbed on.

Lisandro Martinez clearly deserved a red card for his aggressive challenge on Palmer, but escaped with only a yellow. I think the referee was biased in his judgement there.

The way Tottenham trashed Aston Villa was surprising, especially considering that Aston Villa was leading at halftime. I would say Tottenham recognized their lapses and quickly addressed them before the start of the second half, which allowed them to emerge victorious. Additionally, the return of their ever-reliable captain added another level of energy and boosted their style of play. I’ve noticed that when Son Heung-min doesn’t play for Tottenham, they struggle to perform. They must be glad to have their captain back in time to help them get past Aston Villa in such a convincing manner.

Tottenham Hotspur staged a great comeback. I thought it would be tough for Tottenham to catch Aston Villa because they had hardly any good chances in the first half, and they didn't even have a single shot on goal. But it turns out my guess was wrong because Tottenham apparently can create a good balance so they can improve their collectiveness. In stark contrast to what happened in the first half, Tottenham created many shots on Goal in the second half, and 4 of those were converted into goals.
In general Tottenham in the first and second half were different teams and when Aston Villa scored I rejoiced, because I thought that now in the second half Aston Villa will finally defeat Tottenham and the odds on Aston Villa's victory was 3.5 and I thought it was a lot and I decided to try my luck, besides Tottenham did not look the favorite in this game.
Tottenham lost to Crystal Palace and won against City, but still the odds for Tottenham to win 1.8 seemed strange and I thought that at least it should have been 2.2 or 2.3, but the second half performance of Tottenham showed why the bookmakers believed in Tottenham's victory. In fact, Aston Villa had no dangerous moments in the second half and Aston Villa just fought off Tottenham's attacks, and Aston Villa did it badly and the third goal was the fault of Aston Villa defenders, who gave away essentially a goal-scoring pass to a Tottenham player.

A great comeback from Tottenham, and it's all due to Solanke impressive performance. Solanke's pressing and work off the ball really helped his club in the second half. I still don't know why many people called him a waste of money.
I wonder why many people say Tottenham's Comeback is epic. It turns out that this is inseparable from their success in eliminating Man City in the EFL and then being able to defeat Aston Villa in the Premier League. And both are top clubs in England who are certainly predicted to beat Tottenham more easily, seeing how Tottenham's performance has declined lately. However, with the results of the last 2 winning matches, what makes this club maybe change a little more?


Source: Tottenham Hotspur stats

From the data above, it implies some changes have occurred in Tottenham, when compared to some of their good performances last season. Even this time, out of 10 matches, they only won 4. The number of their goals is indeed quite a lot, but the coal conceded is also not a little, because half of them are alone.

Later tonight at Craven Cottage, Fulham will be playing host to Brentford in what'll be the final game of match week 10 in the English Premier League. Considering the performances of both teams in the league this season, I don't think there's much difference as both teams are separated by just 1 point in the league table. If Fulham wins the game, they'll tie with 9th and 10th placed Newcastle with 15 points apiece but if Brentford wins they'll climb to 9th position. Who do you think will be getting all three points in that game or do you think it'll end in stalemate?


Fulham might have a better chance of winning although I believe it will be a tight game. If it shows a narrow lead there might only be 1 goal. But if both teams play openly with their attacks, there might be more goals. There is also a chance that both will end in a draw, and both will share 1 point, I think that is a pretty good result for both teams with almost the same performance. but if I have to speculate on one team to win, it will likely be Fulham. I would not bet on this match.

I don't like City and I would like Arsenal to be above them in the league table, but still these are very different defeats even though City lost to an outsider and Arsenal to a good team.
well, the fact that you hate city isn't a headstart to your dear arsenal team... They still gotta put in the work to earn their desired slot... The premier league don't GAF who you like and who you dislike, sorry.~

Bookmakers currently see this game as:

2.02 - 3.80 - 3.55

Typical odds for a random game where the advantage is given to the home team. I don’t think that betting on Fulham or Brentford is profitable, but I like the outcome of Fulham or Brentford with odds of 1.25. Judging by Brentford's uncompromising nature, we are unlikely to see a draw in this game, and it is likely that the team that scores first will win the game.

Solanke's stats show his huge impact on the game against Aston Villa. If he gets rolling, he could become a glorified forward in the future. He only needs to get enough minutes. He's often sit on the bench.

I saw a lot of improvements in Manchester United's game against Chelsea yesterday, and they even created a lot of chances against Chelsea but failed to convert those chances into a goal. What I observed from Manchester United's game against Chelsea yesterday was that their midfielder and attack were weak; if not, they would have beat Chelsea yesterday at Old Trafford. If they can work on that in their upcoming matches in all competitions, they will surely get positive results that will allow them to achieve great things this season. If Manchester United can play better under the watch of Ruud Van Nisterlrooy, I believe they will do well when the new coach takes over from him. Ruben Amorim changed Sporting Lisbon and won the Portugal League title twice with Sporting Lisbon, so don't worry what Ruben Amorim will do at Manchester United because he has the tactics that can help Manchester United play better under him.

IMO, the problem is that United players are unable to convert their chances into goals. If I look at their data from match to match, they always have several chances according to statistics. However, the problem is that Man United players are not productive. I don't know what their problem is, looking at several of their matches, their pure strikers have a hard time scoring goals. Luckily in last night's match Man United drew, at least, under Nistelrooy's guidance they did not experience defeat. As you said, their midfielders are weak and Ugarte is the least performing. Likewise with the two wingers, they are not maximal referring to statistics. no exception for their single striker, Hojlund was also unable to sharpen his abilities. It seems that Manchester United needs an overhaul. In the Chelsea camp, they performed quite optimally even though several players are often unstable in several of their matches. So far, Maresca has brought a little change to the Blues squad, and of course that makes Chelsea supporters happy. By the way, I'm curious about how Man United will be under Amorim's guidance later.

Aston Villa exhibited a performance vastly different from their Champions League form, squandering an opportunity to break into the Premier League top four, there seemed to be something wrong with Unai Emery defense. Tottenham convincingly managed to turn things around and dominate the game in the second half, the increasing intensity of attacks built by Son Heung min and colleagues in the second half paid off. Aston Villa 7 match unbeaten record has now been broken, but Unai Emery has the opportunity to continue to maintain his perfect record in the Champions League, where his team will face Club Brugge who are relatively easier to overcome.

I agree with you on this, Aston villa performance in the champions league is more better when compared to their Sunday outplay in the EPL, I never expected Tottenham to win them in that match, Rogers scored the first goal of the match for Aston Villa, they were so unserious in that match, their counterparts equalized the goal in the 49th minutes of match and push for more goals that made them to win the match, Aston villa was terrible in that game, despite how bad they were in that event, i expected them not to allow such number of goals in their net, for me, son performance was very impressive, currently Aston villa is in the 6th position in the English premier League standings with 18 points so far, with how the league table is currently, they still have a chance to either move upward or maintain tiheir position hence they have the same point with chelsea and arsenal who are sitting in the 4th and 5th position respectively, the 3 teams position is just a goal difference which I think is a temporal position for any of them for now.

There UEFA champions League match with club Brugge may favour them because they seem to be stronger in the champions league and I notice that English premiership teams use to be very impressive sometimes when it comes to the champions league and facing a team like club Brugge may not pose a threat for Aston villa, am betting on Aston villa to win this match despite that they are playing away.

The last match of the EPL round 10 remains today - Fulham vs Brentford... Both clubs are close to the middle of the standings and probably play the same way... Fulham have no wins in the last three matches, although they played well against Villa and Man City... Brentford have played away against top clubs and have lost all the time, but have also scored... I don't know who will win today, but I will bet on a Fulham win with good odds of 2.1...

The bookie prefers Fulham to have a victory in this match so they give smaller odds than Brentford, from the statistics of their performance is fairly the same, and their position in the standings is also side by side, although Brentford can produce goals against other big teams it does not make it guaranteed to get a winning result against Fulham, but it will be very valuable if they have taken an early lead then can last until the end without giving Fulham a chance it will have another story, their victory will get in the match later.

If only United used their chances wisely, it would have been a sure win for them because they were more desperate of getting a second goal than Chelsea. With what has been going on this season, I never expected Chelsea performance to be equal to that of Manchester United to the point that, Palmer was unable to break into United defense carelessly, like he does with other clubs. United was able to hold onto their ground till the game was over.

The Man United players worked hard so that they didn't lose. Look at them getting 6 yellow cards with 19 fouls. So after Chelsea made the equalizer Man United rightly tried to defend it. Garnacho's problem yes, he was scolded by Casemiro. Garnacho has no hard work, after his mistake he didn't even go back for the ball. Even Casemiro made a foul to stop the flow of the ball. So all coaches should have a strong spirit and responsibility that will make Man United strong. I really admire Casemiro he worked hard he made a lot of clean tackles to stop Chelsea's play.

For this match, I personally am a little confused about which team to choose. Because in my view Fulham and Brentford have almost equal performance. Because if you look at the last 5 matches and also the head to head of the two teams the results are almost equal. Therefore I am a little confused about which team to choose. Maybe doing BTTS is the right solution for me, because until now I'm still unsure about which team to choose. Because if you look at the productivity of both teams, the results can also be said to be balanced. Because Brentford is indeed superior in goal productivity, but unfortunately Brentford also concedes a lot of goals. Meanwhile, Fulham has scored fewer goals, but Fulham has a record of conceding less goals than Brentford. So if you look at this, Brentford seems to have a sharper attack line than Fulham, but their defense line doesn't seem to be as good as Fulham's defense line. So if you look at this, the strength of the two teams can be said to be balanced. That's why I personally chose to just do BTTS in this match.

I think Garnacho can be exceptional if given the time to work on himself. Granted he messed up several opportunities that Man UTD should have used to take the lead but he can still be great. As far as I'm concerned, he's way better than the strikers that Man UTD have because I refuse to believe that Hojlund and Zirkzee are quality strikers, especially Hojlund.
 With how Chelsea players and fans alike kept bragging that they would dust Man UTD when they meet, I thought that United wouldn't see the center half of Chelsea but they were threatening and although the both sides played some confused football, if I were to rate who had the better chances of scoring, I'd say it's Man UTD.

In the first half, the game from Tottenham was not neatly structured, Aston Villa players managed to affect the mentality of Tottenham players with their play and because of that they also hardly got a chance in this match, then in the second half after some improvement in their weaknesses, finally their confidence and cooperation improved so well that they made better opportunities, I don't know what was given by their coach and captain in the second half so that Tottenham's players played much better than the first half, apart from Son's presence, in my opinion there are some strategic gaps used by Aston Villa.
The first half was the best bet for Aston villa to make good use of their opportunities but sadly they couldn't, they lost it and Tottenham didn't fail to punish them in the second half with lots of goals so that they were able to win the game or even share points but the interesting thing has to be in the fact that Tottenham wasn't expected to loose at home, so it's feels to me like a good result, if they were the visiting team they would have had reasons to justify loss and that contributed to their performance too, sons presence usually shows an obvious impact which his absence does too and the second half did made that obvious just like you rightly mentioned.

Not a bad result for Manchester United at all. Both teams get a point. This interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy is really something. A few additions to the squad depth in January and Manchester United may just return to winning ways. For all those defending Erik Ten Hag’s tenure at United, do you guys think Manchester United would have performed this well under Erik Ten Hag?

I agree that this wasn't a bad result for Manchester United; they played a good game and attacked like Chelsea, but we still have issues with their attacking players. Garnacho was quite bad against Chelsea, failing to pass some balls to his teammates, including ones that were hard for him to score. He also missed a few opportunities, and if he had been able to score, it would have been a good assist from Bruno Fernandes. But I think Chelsea fans who believe they will defeat Manchester United by seven goals would have found out that Manchester United is not a weak team.

Furthermore, I was unable to witness the great Palmer, who is praised for scoring four goals in the first half Grin. Based on your question, Manchester United has never performed so well in any game since the beginning of the season, we had a total of 11 shots, 4 were on target, while Chelsea had 12 shots, 3 were on target; if Ten Hag's had been in charge, Chelsea would have scored from every shot on goal against Manchester United.

Garnacho was a joke in that game. I hope someone at Manchester United will show Garnacho a replay of his game. He's too selfish. He had many chances to pass to the attackers, but he ignored them all. He just wanted to shoot the ball straight to the goalkeeper. Also, the moment when Casemiro goes berserk to the Garnacho has proven it. He's not starting material right now. The worst part is, I don't get why they benched Rashford. He worked his ass off. But, they kept on a Garnacho who always wasted the ball. Hopefully, they will drop Garnacho to the bench.


I don't think there will be order in the team until Amorim comes there, now when everything is in a transitional stage, each player wants to show his best side, because Amorm will build the team at his own discretion, and most likely there will be those he wants to sell. But I also understand that Amorim will value team play, because trying to do something in attack alone is a mistake. Sporting shows good team play, I hope that Amorim will be able to bring this culture to Manchester United.
You are right, they are now in a transition phase, and as players they want to show their best abilities so that they can be the main choice when the real coach comes. Well now it depends on the decision of their new coach and also the selection of players will be entirely in the hands of the coach. Maybe in this match we see selfish players, but that can still be fixed and the coach will be the first person to reprimand him when the player looks selfish. Being selfish and making mistakes are different things in my opinion, although both will look wrong. However, in certain situations selfishness will be needed and it depends on which point of view we look at. Because I believe when players look selfish but with their selfishness they can make a goal, then our assessment will be different which will be "a right decision. Lol

I noticed one thing about the English premier league nowadays, most of the big matches are so boring to watch, both teams will either play poorly or the coaches will decide to be tactical and the match will end up being boring. Like I never expected Chelsea vs Manchester united match to be this boring but it still enp up being boring. It was suppose to be a good and entertaining match but reverse is the case. I wish big matches could be the way it use to be, it alot of talking point.

Chelsea got a point back to Stanford bridge and they currently sit in the top 4. They play gunners in their next premier league fixture, I pray it not another boring match too.
I don't understand which part makes you bored in watching English premier league matches? is it because Man Vitu and Arsenal lost in the last match? or what? just because the Man United and Chelsea match ended in a draw doesn't mean it's boring? did you lose the bet to say something like that?

The game in the English premier league certainly has ups and downs, precisely like the defeat and victory it becomes a catalyst for competition in the league and makes this league more interesting, rather than just being quasi by the big teams, the lower middle team also gives a very strong emphasis to shift the above, overall in my opinion it looks amazing.
But it cannot be denied that although in terms of actual results this match is quite good and in statistics it is quite balanced but seeing the way Chelsea and Manchester United play is actually quite tactical even though the tension is still very fast like the way EPL matches in general but they are too careful in this case so that it makes the ball roll more in the middle with back passes and midfield battles rather than trying to insist on 3 points which might be said to be boring.

I think it is quite natural when there will be some people who say this because indeed the EPL treat especially for big matches is always very big so when there is a big match happening but the two clubs try to hold back more because they are satisfied with 1 point owned then there will definitely be some people who say this is boring even though for some others this is still worth watching.
Maybe I can't intervene further because boredom is subjective, so yes I feel strange to have to say it.
BTW the game of defense and defense is wrong is a match strategy yes even though we see the match some of us are not happy, especially for people who like aggressiveness in the game, it will not appeal to them, they prefer to rain goals and such to attract attention, I quite appreciate it, but but my claim is when the competition at the top is very tight and there are some teams that hold back to protect themselves it is their strategy.
