For the first time Haaland has failed to make a contribution in the game, this only shows that he is human after all lol. Klopp indeed is a world class coach and his ability to read games so well baffles me. I must admit the goal Foden scored got be scared and frowning because I was supporting Liverpool, thank God the goal was disallowed and Liverpool got an opportunity to take lead.
Erling Haaland gets full supervision of the Liverpool coach so he can't get the ball easily so when Erling Haaland doesn't have a chance to get the ball it will make it difficult for Manchester City to score goals, this is a very good move for Liverpool to break all of Manchester City attempts to tried to score and they finally managed to do it.

If you're asking about Manchester City yhen maybe it's a mindset thing. They have a pretty strong squad capable of winning the CL for the past five years.but for the European Champions League don't know why sometimes the game goes down is this a mental problem? I don't really know,

Finally, after I saw the Liverpool and Manchester City matches which were won by Liverpool with a score of 1 - 0, it turned out that the Liverpool goalkeeper's match last night was still very good, but for this year's Premier League champions, Arsenal and Liverpool clubs might also be candidates. champion this year because Arsenal are also in terms of the game now better than in previous years
I will agree with you on Arsenal but not on Liverpool. It's okay to hope because you're a fan of the team but better check what the real situation of the club is. Better base your assessment on the numbers and not on your emotion. We have seen Manchester City this much desperate for the first time after a long break. They had some important opportunities to score actually with Haaland but Alisson didn't let him score thanks to his impressive saves. There was something wrong with their defense in this match also. They left big spaces in defense before and after the goal. Maybe I can understand the after but it is hard to get the other one. Salah was so comfortable on the front and scored a goal.
There was really some improvement in Liverpool defense as they managed to stay solid against Manchester City attackers mostly. They need van Dijk to continue playing strong from now on as he is the mainstay of the defense line. Maybe it is too difficult for them to enter the title race but they don't have anything to lose now. They must push hard after this critical win.
This is a very painful defeat, especially for Manchester City supporters, even though there are many opportunities that will be scored by Manchester City players but Liverpool's defense is solid enough that it is difficult to penetrate despite several attacks by Haaland and his friends, but that's how Manchester City focus attacking, of course the defense is not noticed how strong it is and Salah took advantage of the opponent's own situation and managed to get past it by becoming a goal so it was a bit of a mistake for the Manchester City defender who was too focused on attacking.There was really some improvement in Liverpool defense as they managed to stay solid against Manchester City attackers mostly.

Indeed Liverpool are still quite far from competing for the title race, the only thing they have to improve every game so that points can get closer, but the reality is that the Premier League is more difficult to predict.
I think Van Dijk played a really good game and pocketed Haaland well enough. Even though it was a low-scoring game, it was quite entertaining that's for sure. But I have to say that Haaland did some good chances which he should have converted into a goal. I remember he found an open and direct header from KDB's cross, but he shot it directly at the GK. Overall, the City had good control of the midfield but failed to finish the ball as Liverpool had a solid defensive night.

Manchester United disappointed their fans a lot as well. I was waiting for them to win even if they had a big difficulty in doing so. Because Newcastle were one of the toughest opponents of the season for them. There wasn't a big gap between them in the standings.
However I still trusted Manchester United to get another win after the win over Everton. They had really crucial opportunities in the game especially in the last minutes. But they wasted both of them which caused the game to end in a draw by 0-0. The team still can't find their rhythm in the league fully.

I was not for once angry over the kind of players used especially with the Introduction of Fred in midfied to replace Erikson, he didn't link up well with Bruno Fernandez and also with all other attacking players and winger's. After the first half, Erik Ten Hag should have substituted the Brazilian for me though and could have even brought in one of those youngins.
Now getting to the second half of the match, Ten Hag made a wrong substitution, by bringing Rashford on for Cristiano Ronaldo, if you look at the game Sancho wasn't really part of it as he should have been substituted, and since Ronaldo served as a number, that through Ball from Rashford to Fread would have been converted if it was Ronaldo. Fans where expectant of a goal but that didn't come as planned. Don't you think they will either loss to Tottenham Hotspur or end up playing full time draw with the score been leveled.
About the Tottenham game I think that it is going to be even more challenging for them obviously. I know that Manchester United defeated Arsenal and Liverpool in Old Trafford before. But this doesn't mean that they can do the same against Tottenham as well. After losing two points two weeks in a row they might not be able to stay strong especially in offense. There is a big improvement in their defense recently but Tottenham attackers can still be deadly for them. They need to be extra careful in defense as a result.
It feels like the game might end in a draw and both teams would score.
In the last matches, they are really ineffective on goal paths. It should not be forgotten that they won in overtime in the Omonia game. They also played a goalless draw with Newcastle. I can say that they need to fix their problems in the goal paths again. They really have no chance of winning if they don't score against Tottenham.
facing tottenham later is a good opportunity for CR7 to score, the match will take place at home to MU, last season he made a hat-trick against tottenham hopefully this time he will make the same thingtottenham are now in 3rd position in the standings, it would be great if MU can win this match so they can get a little closer to chelsea
Arsenal fans are happy knowing they are 4 points clear off Manchester City who have been breathing on their necks for some weeks now and it puts much pressure on the team to perform and win games by all means.
LOL, I hope you're right. A friend of mine who is a Arsenal fan really didn't want to take off his Arsenal jersey until today because Manchester City defeat from Liverpool. I must admit that the outcome was quite unpredictable. The last time I watched Liverpool play Manchester City, I really thought they were going to lose. There is no doubt that this is extremely good news for Arsenal because they will now feel quite comfortable knowing that they now have a bigger difference in points with Manchester City than they had before.
Talking about the game against Leeds I won't say they performed poorly because Leeds are a tough side to beat especially when they are playing at home we saw how the game against Chelsea ended,how Leeds beat chelsea, they are a tough side indeed.
Leeds are a tough team for Chelsea who have had problems with their form. I mean, Leeds are a team that has not won more than 2 match from their last 9 matches and so far only Chelsea and Wolves they have managed to beat. So Arsenal should have won this match easily, but in fact Arsenal struggled too. But unfortunately, Arsenal vs Manchester City match had to be postponed but I think it's good for Manchester City's preparation against Brighton on 22 October.As for the next attraction, it is going to be Manchester City versus Arsenal. The fact that Arsenal is at the top of the league table still amazes me. The only thing I am not able to be very confident about this season is Manchester City as well. It is quite surprising that Arsenal is doing so well at the moment, which is quite impressive. Just hope that they do not make any more big mistakes towards the end of the season like they did last year.
After having a great debut with Newscatle, now that Man United will face Tottenham Hotspurs now as a home team by Man United will this be even more difficult?
What we know is that Tottenham are still working hard to keep getting points so they don't fall behind Mancity or Arsenal who are a few points adrift, on the other hand, if I choose to bet on Man United, there's little doubt that they are not consistent enough even what we guess is always out of the question. His real guess is that Ten Hag is still hard to beat any other great team except Arsenal which he has beaten.
But it will be interesting between Ten Hag and Conte with his strategic ability.

With the Arsenal-City game canceled due to the Europa League (which was a surprise to me, what the hell?), the United-Tottenham game will definitely be the highlight of the tour. In fact, it’s even difficult for me to say who will be the favorite here, although on paper Tottenham looks stronger.
This is because Manchester United defence is good for now and their midfield is also fair but the finishing is poor . Man U find it difficult to score against a small club Omonia in the Europa League the extended to Newcastle in their last week outing. So it will be near impossible for them to score Tottenham then it is very very difficult to defend Kane for 9g0 minutes without him getting a goal by crook or by hard work

Finally a game Liverpool fans can be proud of. We did really well for the majority of the game and we deserved both the win and the clean sheet.
I think Guardiola made the mistake starting with 3 at the back, when they switched to a back 4 in the 2nd half they were much more dangerous. But so were we though.
A win in the derby is nice, but it took us only to the 8th spot in the league. What we need now is consistency.
Liverpool had their chances and took it with confident while city couldn't converts their chances to goal. The red players were very active in the game and didn't give room for fatigue. All of them were serious especially their defend lines, Virgil and Gomez who hold down both Fosen and Haaland. Amazing results from Liverpool at anfield and city will put more efforts in their next game. Consistency is the only option for Liverpool players and i believe they will have a smooth run up for top four.I think Guardiola made the mistake starting with 3 at the back, when they switched to a back 4 in the 2nd half they were much more dangerous.

It's a very good time for Arsenal fans to have fun because with City losing it's clear they have a sigh of relief as they managed to get away from the current chase.
On the other hand their game against City is also postponed now and there are only Notingham Forest and Southampton below them so I'm pretty sure they will continue to be in the mood for the next few weeks.
There is Chelsea game vs Arsenal where they might drop points, otherwise the other games are relatively easy. Before the World Cup break, we will continue seeing gunners in the first place most likely.On the other hand their game against City is also postponed now and there are only Notingham Forest and Southampton below them so I'm pretty sure they will continue to be in the mood for the next few weeks.
City has also easy games so the gap between them will not increase imo and might shrink depending from Arsenal games tho

Anyway, it was Arsenal got benefited from the Liverpool vs Manchester City match, the history of head to head record did not disappoint Liverpool fans and it is important that we have to think about it too. To be honest I also lost bet Manchester City, but seeing Liverpool comeback I am personally happy, so we will see a very competitive in the remaining matches ahead.
Well I think Arsenal should be grateful to Liverpool for defeating Manchester City in the derby. For the Arsenal team I think they didn't perform very well as I expected may be they are getting tired as their performance against Leeds United was poor, the Arsenal team was lucky enough that Patrick Bamford missed the penalty kick if not their performance wouldn't have giving them the win in the game. Liverpool defeat to Manchester City gave Arsenal a 4-point gap against their biggest rivals Manchester City but I think Arsenal needs to go back to the drawing board to increase in their game play otherwise they will be back to their usual position in the League.
Liverpool's recent form shouldn't be a problem to any team because their gameplay is not like before and they are not consistent like a team that is interested in fighting for the league this season.

I quite appreciate Klopp's strategy in this match because even though it looks monotonous and does not reflect Liverpool, they do know that they have to be defensive like this so they can win considering they are actually quite weak when playing open. and Klopp is not forcing this and is more focused on defense.
Van Dijk was also in this match quite disciplined and this was probably the best performance he has shown so far in the EPL in my opinion.
Honestly they have "tried" something a bit different, a bit more deeper line defence, which meant that they are working towards keeping Haaland away, and to be fair to City, they focused on Haaland way too much this game, they realized that he is scoring goals like no other, and started to throw to ball to him with the hopes that he would score, but if the other team would defend him like this, literally share him with 3 people, then it becomes a bit of a trouble.Van Dijk was also in this match quite disciplined and this was probably the best performance he has shown so far in the EPL in my opinion.
Thanks to this deep defence, they had many clear chances, 2 obvious ones with Salah, where they would just throw the ball ahead, and when City was attacking, they got caught off-guard and got counter attacked.

After struggling to face Omonia's underdog team, Man United will play against Newcastle. Although they won against Omonia in the end, but Man United were frustrated. Luckily they won 1-0. At the moment the interesting thing is that their points are only one difference, Newcastle are below Man United. Since the change of ownership of Newcastle began to develop, Man United should be wary. Although playing at home Man United have to play well because Newcastle have players who are willing to work hard.
But that could have turned out differently. Foden's goal was not given because Haaland fouled... strange decision. There are referees who would give the goal and then the game would ended different and Manchester City still not have game lost in the Premier League.
There was nothing strange about it because it was a clear foul and Referee saw that but it was a good goal from Foden though. The impact of the first goal would have changed the flow of the game though and City would be having less pressure to score thus keeping their possession much better. Kudos to VVD for keeping up with Haaland on the game though, he was great on that game
When Klopp made his lineup adjustments for the match against Manchester City, Milner stood out, Gomez shone, and Haaland was taken off the field.
Liverpool will return to the top if they carry on in this manner. Liverpool outplayed Man City and they played well, but they didn't demonstrate their will to win the game.

Maybe we aren't even in the middle of the season yet. However it is still difficult for Liverpool to enter the title race. They are 14 points away from the leader at the moment. They will need to continue without losing points much from now on. For now their form is still bad despite defeating Manchester City in Anfield. Maybe this important win can be helpful for them to improve their form as of now. It had better do so otherwise Liverpool would only finish the season at the 2nd or 3rd place the most.
This defensive improvement was important for them. They have struggled with their defense so far and this game was way different than the previous one. Conceding 0 goal against Manchester City is a big progress. Next time they are hosting West Ham I'll be expecting the same effort in defense.
Klopp's change in game strategy succeeded in making the Liverpool team beat ManCity, in that match Liverpool deserved to win because they played well and had a high enough fighting spirit to prove the poor performance they experienced in the previous match during this season was only temporary because it was likely they will return to form like last season, but from the victory they got against ManCity mak I don't think we can say that now Liverpool team has bounced back because just 1 game can't be used as a parameter that they have recovered from their slump.

I agree that Klopp's strategy was quite successful to quell the attacks launched by Manchester City. And I also agree with Van Dijk's performance, because in the previous matches he has also been heavily criticized for his unsatisfactory performances. It really hurts me a lot when people are compared to Harry Maguaire. This win will mean a lot to Liverpool and I'm sure they will continue to nurture their game to improve. I miss their old game where everything worked effectively.Van Dijk was also in this match quite disciplined and this was probably the best performance he has shown so far in the EPL in my opinion.
