Maybe we should say it wasn't meant to happen. I knew Tottenham will not accept a second defeat from Manchester City after the horrible humiliation at Etihad. It was so saddening to watch Tottenham score two goals in the first half and then lose 2-4 at the end of the match. It was the right moment to make Manchester city pay and I'm happy it happened. if they wish to cover the pace with Arsenal, They will have to fight hard in their subsequent matches.

I think, Manchester city coach need to apply more skills to enable his players improve higher in their next matches, because Manchester city fans are not happy about their poor performance in this match. Many people predicted for the favour of Manchester city because they believed that Tottenham Hotspur don't have the strength to stop them not to achieve three points from the match but the match turned for the favour of Tottenham Hotspur to defeated Manchester city 1-0. Tottenham Hotspur really prepared well for this match, because they made their defensive so strong from the beginning of the first half and till the end of the second half not to allow Manchester city strikers achieve a single goal from the match.

Every effort by Man City to equalize the lone goal was thwarted by Tottenham at a time the pressure was much on Spur, Mahrez shot hits the woodwork while Haaland couldn't get a through pass after making some good runs towards Spur final third probably because DeBryne didn't start the match, honestly the match live up to expectations from the start to finish, I didn't miss any of the actions as I stayed glued to the Television, I must commend Tottenham for defending that goal and guided against conceding a goal just like what happened to them in the reverse fixture.

You have my sympathies; it is disheartening to watch a squad with so much promise and ability underachieve. However, I believe it is essential to keep in mind that the course of a season is never smooth sailing for any squad. Even though Manchester City has had some difficulties, I still think they have what it takes to get back on track and play as a team again.

Personally, I believe Guardiola to be an excellent coach who coaxes fantastic performances from his squads. His track record of accomplishment gives me confidence that he can rally the troops and help them triumph over their current challenges. Manchester City still has plenty of time to turn things around and make a strong run for the title; the remainder of the season has a long way to go.

Arsenal and Manchester City suffered the same fate as both teams Everton and Tottenham had new coaches and both were able to topple two top teams, Sean Dyche and Cristian Stellini had success with their first game against the top flight and that was cool.
Manchester United will be a threat to Manchester City because their consistent and good performance means that Manchester City must give good results for the next game. And against Aston Villa there is a possibility that Manchester City will win, because this is an important game to get away from Manchester United, who are only three points away.

About the match between Manchester City vs Tottenham indeed one mistakes suffering to lose this what happend to Manchester City yesterday that their player has did a fatal mistakes which make Manchester City conceded goal and unfortunately this is the only goal during the match and in my opinion Manchester City weren't performing poor because they didn't stopped to attacking but Tottenham know how to guard Haaland perfectly that i can see he was rare to touching the ball but besides that De Bruyne is the key player for Manchester City and i was wondering why Guardiola putting him on the bench because probably the result will be different if he played early

Arsenal and Manchester City both have almost the same defeat this week. Both have pretty good ball control. But has failed to take advantage of every opportunity it has. on the other hand Manchester United continues to show extraordinary matches. and now the point difference between Manchester United and Manchester City is only 3 points. So that Manchester United is getting closer to shifting the position of Manchester city. and if Manchester City want to continue to secure their position, they must get full points in the next game, against Aston Villa.

Why not? arsenal has known as a team that becomes incompetence at the end of the season. In many cases, arsenal was not able to keep its win streak until the end of season. that's also the reason why arsenal was also losing a few chances to be a champion for premier league.
The lose against Everton was a very bad result as we knew that everton was in the relegation zone. Arsenal was also very luck yo see manchester united has got the same result as it. That's why arsenal's gap is not yet being cutted.
BTW that's pretty interesting week as some small clubs have been beating big clubs like liverpool and arsenal.

Of the top 3 standings, only Man United made it through the week with good results, even though it was dramatic in the final minutes which were quite tense because Erik Ten Hag had to immediately rotate players so he could cover Casemiro's gap. Preparing against Leeds, in my opinion, there is still an alternative that Ten Hag chose to complete his winning streak. The plus point of playing at Old Trafford is getting more and more superior.

The declining performance that Man City showed against Tottenham is very clear that focusing on Haaland will only be easy when his shooting space is guarded. Kane and Son really made Man City's back line look fragile. This can be seen from the quick counterattack carried out. The appearance of Grealish, Haaland and Kevin found it difficult to penetrate the defense which was deliberately built to strengthen the front of the goal.

Liverpool seem to be frustrated that Wolves are able to be more dominant in building attacks, many opportunities are wasted because Klopp still trusts Nunez, who clearly becomes the spearhead, looks dull in terms of quality.

It seems that Chelsea are not too interested, even though with the composition of the new players there cannot be any significant changes.

Manchester city didn't profit from arsenal lose against Everton and they also lost against Tottenham with 1 goal scored in the first half by hare kane, arsenal fans are for sure very happy with this result and the club but in my opinion the situation had to be better if the club was more efficient against Everton, if the won the match the gap would be 8 points - 1 to arsenal which will make the situation easier for theme

Making Erik Ten Haag the manager of Man United has been the right decision so far, he has proven in several matches that he has brought a lot of changes to Man United, it will definitely be even more interesting if their city team again suffers bad results in subsequent matches and Man United can get closer to City's position, indeed it is not so important between second and third position but it will be different for Ten Haag who had doubted the presence, surely many did not think that Man United could be in the top four but they are there now

The results in this week's match are proof of how tight the competition is in the EPL, no club can dominate and what I think is most impressive is Newcastle, who have only lost once in the 21 matches they have played, from teams in the top 4, Newcastle, the least conceded and that proves how strong their defense is and the club just needs a more sharp striker to make this team even stronger in all their areas

Arsenal lost their last match against Everton and dropped points. Manchester City now had an easy chance to win their last match and close the points gap with Arsenal. But Manchester City could not take advantage of this opportunity. They lost 1-0 against Tottenham. They won the home match against Tottenham 4-2. But they lost in the away match. Guardiola may not have done his homework properly. He should have stopped Harry Kane at all costs. Manchester City had to lose because of the mistakes of the defenders. And City is still 8 points behind Arsenal.

Things have changed lot at Manchester City lately where players seem to be out for themselves especially when it comes to scoring goals.
I didn't see midfielders and wingers getting Haaland's spot throughout the match against Tottenham, while they did get few shots on target. I can say the level of selfishness of the players on the field has made Manchester City's performance drop this season, and clearly they are not as strong as I imagined while ago.

Therefore, Guardiola seems to have tough homework for the rest of the season by getting his players to play as team supporting each other for team achievements. They won't be able to win any titles this season if their performance drops, and it's absolutely difficult to win any titles if they can't beat top teams like Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The season is mostly over for Liverpool in Premier League. With the latest defeat, they are no longer be able to join top four even the season has many matches left. The best ending they can have is a position from 5th to 6th, not higher.

With this situation, I believe Klopp and Liverpool will try hard in Champions League but winning the title is not easy for any club. If they can win it, they will have a default slot to join Champions League 2023 - 2024 no matter what rank they end in Premier League.

Manchester City and Pep wasted another opportunity to reduce their gap with Arsenal. Arsenal lost first and Manchester City followed them with their own defeat. Premier League race for the championship between Arsenal and Manchester City is still very exciting and Arsenal temporarily have very good advantage.

Harry Kane scored one goal which makes him as a best scorer in history of Tottenham Hotspur. He made a history and more meaningful, his club won a match. They are continuing their race with Manchester United, Newcastle and even Manchester City for a position in top four.

Arsenal will expand their gap with Manchester City to 8 points if they win their match. 8 points will be a very stressful gap for Manchester City and Pep especially they will have to think more about Champions League in February.

I am not quite sure whether you are referring the the Champions League or Premier League. Pep Guardiola won 4x the EPL, 1x the FA Cup, 4x the League Cup, and 2x the English Supercup. All of that happened within 6 seasons, and now it is his 7th season. Would you argue that that is bad for a coach and Guardiola should be questioned? If you are referring to the Champions League, then this is probably the wrong thread. But if you are referring to EPL related titles, I would say that that is a pretty strong performance for a coach!

It is not like Tottenham is easy to beat especially in an away game. It was the typical game. Manchester City had more possession, more shots on target, higher passing precision, etc. But there are these days where you just can't get the ball into the exact right position and score and on top of that you might be unlucky as well.

With every game day passing by the EPL becomes more interesting in regards to whether or not Arsenal can really pull off the big surprise!

I wouldn't say that Tottenham played badly. However, Tottenham was very lucky so they managed to get three points in this match. The performance of Manchester City players was quite visible throughout the match. They played very well. Scored a lot of tries. But they could not break the defense of Tottenham. Especially in this match, I would like to praise the performance of Lloris and Dier. The performance of these two players was very good in this match.

it was Man city's chance today to get closer to Arsenal, but they fumbled the bag, Tottenham want to play in the Champions league next season, and they scored from very few chances and let Man City take the ball and couldn't do anything but miss, what a golden chance Man City missed today to catch up with Arsenal.

Manchester United might be in this title race if things go in favour of them more in time. This week was really helpful for them for example. Arsenal and Manchester City both lost three points in the end. But we will see how much Manchester United will be consistent in the remaining games as well. If they start getting unexpected results again than they would lose their chance for a title race.

Whether they enter a title race or not even joining the Champions League will be a good success for them. It will be a greater success than the previous season at least.

That's football for you. You can't be champion forever, I saw Manchester City weakness even before now but it seems very difficult for them to handle it.  This loss of Manchester City is an advantage for arsenal who is their rivals now in the English premier league.

Totenham has been learning from the first met with manchester city. It must be fully defensive to prevent the come back to happen. Manchester city was a team that could make comeback anytime and there's no reason for totenham to go all in after it has made goals against manchester city. Harry kane got some golden opportunities to make additional goals against city. Totenham becomes fully defensive after first goal and the club was using counter attack. Some chances were happening from the counter attack.
