Why Everton are Under 'Threat' of Receiving Another Points Deduction

According to fresh reports, Everton are now under the 'threat' of receiving yet another points deduction. This comes after the Premier League club were deducted numerous points last season.

On the dawn of their upcoming English top-flight campaign, the Toffees will be hoping minds and bodies are sharp after pre-season, which came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Roma this weekend. Under Sean Dyche, they finished 15th in the league last term and will be aiming to avoid a relegation battle this time around.

It will come as an unwanted distraction for all involved with the club then that they will begin 2024/25 with the 'threat' of another points deduction hanging over them, per The Sun.

Guardiola fielded a semi-experimental line-up to some extent, with Silva and De Bruyne on the bench, and I agree that City always have a tough start to the season, the reason for that seems obvious to me, Guardiola always expects the team to be at their peak by the end of the season, so the start is not always easy for them. It seems almost impossible to me for a team to spend the entire season at their peak, something has to be sacrificed, and Guardiola's strategy works, so he sticks to it, especially since the end is always more important, that's where the finals of many tournaments end. I thought Guardiola would take the Super Cup match more seriously, but they still managed to win.
It's also the fact that they do not have that many friendlies or anything else that they play. They are not a team that could train that hard about what they are going to do because they already know what they are going to do. This team has been together for a long time, and they played very well together for a while too, won 4 in a row which is insane in a league like premier league.

To be fair, a lot of people could say anything, they can say that it's about money, they can say that premier league doesn't have any good teams (very silly thing to say) but the reality is that premier league is the league with all the money and all the fame and yet City still managed to dominate it. So, I think they start a little worse because they do not really do much at the start, they already know, and eventually they get back into their groove.

The fact is that United played better than them yesterday but failed to use their clean chances to net the post and win the match because they are too fun of themselves. I didn't expect such performance from United to the point that United attack was very active and created good scoring opportunities.
Maybe I agree that Man United is said to have played quite well in that match. Because Man United played better than I expected of them. But I probably can't say that Man United played better than Man City in that match. And I prefer to think that Man City is actually the one whose performance has declined and has become equal to Man United's performance. Man City and Man United in this match actually both wasted a lot of opportunities. Many shots were missed and many passes were not utilized properly by either team. But one thing I am starting to see progress in the Man United squad is that now their back line is no longer making as many mistakes.

Whenever it comes to Manchester City, Manchester utd is usually very strong and that I cannot explain why. It will surprise people to know that United have won City more in all their meetings, they have met 193 times and United won 79 while City won 61. Despite that United are not doing so well in recent times even from last season, they are always active and ready to fight hard when they meet City. Maybe they want to maintain their records which they guide so well. My prediction in the CS was that City will would win but narrowly and I never expected it will be so tight to enter penalty shoot out.
The H2H gap between the two is still very large due to Manchester United's prowess in the past when it was still managed by Alex Ferguson. Now everything has changed, Manchester City is starting to dominate when the Manchester Derby occurs. Manchester United have been trying to return to their glory days for the past few seasons, but their efforts have always failed.
This season Manchester United has been very aggressive in moving in the transfer market, several players have started to be brought in including De Ligt from Bayern Munich. The preparations made by Manchester United certainly want to regain the EPL title which has always been dominated by Manchester City.
It has been a decade since Man United failed to win the Premier League trophy, various attempts have been made, but the best result obtained was finishing in the runner-up position. Man City has not only taken over the dominance in Manchester, but Pep Guardiola squad has also become the ruler of the Premier League. Lastly, Man United had to admit the greatness of their city rivals in the Community Shield final, The Red Devils still have to work harder to return to their glory days. The transfer window is still open, and we'll see how Ten Hag will use it to build squad depth, which can lead them to success.

Meanwhile, Man United most realistic target next season is to finish in the top four and return to play in the Champions League, we know the setback that occurred last season was very disappointing. A number of players have been brought in, and we do not know for sure whether Ten Hag will continue to try to bring in new players. Matthijs de Ligt is reportedly set to join Old Trafford as a replacement for Varene who left for Como. Overall, I think Man United chances of winning the trophy are still low, Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are more favored.

Manchester City performed relatively poorly in this match as they found many weak points. But still Manchester City couldn't win, while Casemiro had the most chances but couldn't hit the ball which made it impossible to score.  Although the game ended up going to Tribeca, Manchester United ended up losing. 

Although both teams leveled the game after conceding a goal in the first stage, they failed to win in the end as they missed the last ball which forced Manchester United to lose.

Manchester City in yesterday's match performed less than satisfactory unlike the game we often see from City. This is because Man City did not field all of its core players, Luck is still on Man City's side, by winning the Community Shield, with City's poor play, Man United who fielded their star players could not take advantage of last night's match, The opportunities obtained could not be completed properly, I still doubt Man United for now in the premier league which will soon take place. but in my opinion yesterday's match was still exciting to watch, Penalties were the deciding factor in City's victory, and congratulations
City did not use only De Bruyne and Nathan Ake, the rest all played in the match. Silva was the one who scored the goal amd Haaland was present in 90 minutes so I don't see why you would say that they didn't use their real players. In Europa finals when United won City, didn't they use their key players.

The fact is that United played better than them yesterday but failed to use their clean chances to net the post and win the match because they are too fun of themselves. I didn't expect such performance from United to the point that United attack was very active and created good scoring opportunities.

Our focus is not because Manchester City won the Community Shield trophy but Andre Onana's silly behavior during the penalty shootout and the challenging movement that indicated that the trophy is there if you want to take it. I still can't understand why he always does that and the stock of memes for next season seems safe if Andre Onana continues to entertain us with his behavior. Cheesy
I keep asking, are there no advisors in Manchester United to advise Onana on this kind of stupid attitude of his? You dare not try a stupid mind game on crucial penalty shootouts on players and expect it to work when the goalpost is wide enough to kick the ball at any side of the net.
For the notice, Onana is supposed to be aware that the players are not stupid enough to fall for his common mind games. They are professional players, not ordinary players that he can manipulate to have the penalty shootout at the side he aims at. That's not happening
He keeps doing stupid things and it becomes a meme on social media because this kind of behavior is not allowed, especially Manchester United fans don't want something stupid like this, but Onana did it. Angry

This trophy may not be important to him? Ah if it's like this, it seems like Onana will do a lot of stupid things again in the next match because it will clearly be detrimental if the stupidity is not denied with what he did during his save.

In my opinion, Calafiori is not just a "nice-to-have" but a crucial signing.

I’ve seen them drop enough points due to Zinchenko’s defensive errors to cost them the league. Last season, they lost 2 points against Fulham at the Emirates stadium and 2 points against Liverpool at Anfield. Two seasons ago, similar errors cost them points against Liverpool and Manchester City.
They missed out on the league title by 2 points last season and by 5 points the season before. These are the fine margins that matter. They can’t afford to struggle to score goals only for Zinchenko’s mistakes to undo their efforts.

Bringing in Calafiori removes Zinchenko and his errors from the equation, taking them a significant step closer to winning the league title.
Arteta learnt from last season and has found solution to the defensive blunders that has affected them. I hope something changes for them this time around.
We just have to wait and see what will happen for Calafiori's career at Arsenal later, because after all even though we know that Calafiori's performance at Bologna last season was very good but there is still no guarantee that he can do a good first season at Arsenal.
The hope is certainly that this will not be a failure, but we must be aware that Serie A and the EPL are different so there could be adaptations that are difficult for Calafiori to do which in the end this backfires because he cannot show the best performance.
Not a few players who have been very meritorious in their clubs when in Serie A but must fail in the EPL. Previous examples may be Pogba and Lukaku because when in Serie A they played very well when Pogba was always the midfield general for Juventus and Lukaku who was indeed a goal-hungry striker at Inter but when in the EPL precisely at Manchester United and Chelsea they failed and this could also happen to Calafiori.
Arsenal in the last two seasons has had a strong defense with the players composition of White, Saliba, Gabriel and also Zichenko/Kiwior, but by bringing in Calafiori of course it will further strengthen their defense in the future, especially now that I see that Timber has also recovered from his injury and allowing Arsenal to have good squad depth in their defense next season, Calafiori today made his debut with Arsenal in the friendly match (Emirates Cup) against Lyon, coming on to replace Zinchenko in the 64th minute, he appeared very impressive in helping Arsenal maintain their victory over Lyon with a score of 2-0, previously he came in and was plotted as a left back as time went by in the match he actually appeared as a center back, so I think Arsenal has indeed got the right player now to help their defense next season.
But although Arsenal have now recruited Calafiori which makes Their defense is strong, of course Arteta must not forget the philosophy: The best defense is a good attack, meaning that Arsenal still have to strengthen their current attack line to be able to support their chances of become championship  in next season by recruiting a good striker.

Yesterday's City performance fell short of their A-grade. Pep is a genius, though, and he is sure of his actions. Resting major participants in the Community Shield? Strategic genius, folks. Its regarding the long game, not only one prize. Still, they win. They found a way even without their customary weaponry. That defines a real champion squad.

Only one shot on target, though? That's not City standard. They must discover that attacking spark even when the heavy guns are not in use. With relation to United? They blew it when their opportunity presented themselves. Simply stated, that is a lack of killer instinct. If they wish to compete this season, they have to raise their game.

I wish best for Manchester United in a new season but I hope that they won't take this close defeat too seriously and feel too much confident about their ability. Like they are very near to quality level of Manchester City and will be able to fight for Premier League title in a coming season. If they feel confidently like this, they will not go to anywhere far in a new season.

There are many weaknesses in their squad and they must seriously look at this fact, to be ready for fixing and improving it. If they view themselves like this, they will become a stronger team in coming months.

This is a first Community Shield title for Manchester City after three years, so congratulations!
I was very impressed with Manchester United performance yesterday because I couldn't believe they would play that good after all there lapses on the pre season matches, actually seeing there performance yesterday made me to realize what people were saying about there friendly matches that they shouldn't be judged because is not a serious match for them so now I have seen that they intentionally decided not to take those matches serious, actually if they should continue with this performance they had on this community shield on there premier League matches it will certainly be a good season for them, I was shocking to see how Manchester United dominated Manchester City at the beginning of the match and also hold them goalless on the first half, though if not for Silva Manchester United would have won the match.
Whenever it comes to Manchester City, Manchester utd is usually very strong and that I cannot explain why. It will surprise people to know that United have won City more in all their meetings, they have met 193 times and United won 79 while City won 61.

Very funny because you do not watch football very often; if not, you won't say these things. Manchester United played totally rubbish yesterday. First of all, Manchester City had a reason for starting most of their academic boys in the finals because using their full squad Manchester United is no match for them. And the reason is to avoid injuries on their preferred player as the EPL will start soon. Even with the chances Manchester City gave United to score and win the game they could not. Dont forget that Manchester City and Man United are from the City so they would play it fair with themselves. However Manchester City are supposed to win the game instead of them making i difficult for them at the end.

When ever both of them are playing it usually a tough game even if Manchester United performance is poor they will still end up playing the city as if nothing is wrong with the club, when ever you see a game between Manchester City and Manchester United then their is a very high chance united might defeat Manchester city. With this analysis you are given it even shows that Manchester United have won city in more occasions they have meet. That's actually an very impressive record that Manchester United have set aside. Nobody will argue that Manchester United have not been doing well, recently their performance have been poor with other clubs and for yesterdays game city was luck to have been able to win the title through a shootout if not their was a very high chance that united would have won them. City have also maintained a good glory for sometime now. I just love exactly how they are doing well currently.

You don’t expect Guardiola to use all his players in the match, he wasn’t very serious about the match because he didn’t really need it, but for him to win the match, then it’s a plus for him. But even as Guardiola didn’t make use of all his players, their performance wasn’t really so bad in the match, just that they couldn’t just score, and we know Manchester United are always performing well when they are playing against Manchester City. But before we can know the performance of each club, we have to wait until the season starts first.

Expecting Manchester city to have done any better is funny actually because like we know that game wasn't enough for Manchester city to risk so much hence they will just play to see if they're going to get a chance but I believe Manchester city would have done much better if they had wanted to win that trophy, more like they were supposed give let the game for Manchester United, Manchester United will probably get another chance at other trophies.
Statistically both of them played well, but I saw Pep Guardiola trying to implement a game strategy that was not so persistent. Man United had far more opportunities than Man City but the final solution was still not able to be maximized properly. The Community Shield trophy was a good start for Man City even though the match was quite fierce and had to be decided by a penalty shootout.

Seeing Man United's performance, I am a little sure that this season they will be much better because I see they are much better prepared. Man United can get another chance to win a trophy, but they have to work hard because the competition will be much more competitive and very tight this season.

Chelsea should work with the defenders they have now and forget buying more, let them build the connection/communication among themselves instead of adding and then lack level of commitment, loosing the ball at critical points will only send the team down the table.

Well, I'm a person who thinks that Chelsea should do Something to be able to go further in the Premier League. I say one thing: they have to change everything that is necessary, and it's not a question of luck, it's a question of attitude. They have changed everything that can be changed , Think that now they have to adapt to everything that the Premier League means, because things will start to work out for them, but they have to work very hard, because they have a very difficult path ahead of them with Man City, with Liverpool , with all these teams that are Aways number 1.

I hoped they adapt to the style of play before the season begins, Maresca changed everything about the team right from the base of what Pochettino did during his time. Now the club is facing a hard time winning their matches played so far, right now they just headed to the second half with loosing yet, 1: 0 and it's really something to worry about. The rate at which Chelsea conceded last season, seems like the same they would continue this season because it's being shown during the preseason games. The Premier league is a tough one, If they would love to take a good spot on the league then they should adapt very quickly at the beginning of the season and not during the end of the season unless they end where they ended once again.

There is nothing funny about expecting Manchester City to win because after all, this is not just a friendly match but a final match with a trophy up for grabs. After all, if Manchester City are not serious in this match, but why does Pep Guardiola look tense? And also, if this match is not an important match for Manchester City, but why do Manchester City still need to work hard to equalize when trailing 1-0?

Thus, Manchester City only underestimated Manchester United because some of Manchester United's main players were also injured. But anyway, the fact remains that it is still not easy to beat Manchester United because basically Manchester City underestimated Manchester United. But yes, lucky for Manchester City, because Manchester City managed to get the trophy on penalties, but the result is certainly still a bad result because Manchester City should be able to win in normal time.

Alejandro Garnacho still shows his quality and it's no wonder he is also the only player from the Red Devils who managed to break into Ederson's goal. While Rashford is still the same as last season and the jeers immediately rained down on him when a golden opportunity that was wide open was wasted. Sancho also didn't play well and I think his previous performance at Dortmund disappeared again when he returned to Manchester United.

Well, Manchester City deserved to win and they should know that Manchester United were good enough last night by making it difficult for them to break into the goal before Bernardo Silva finally became the savior at the end of the match.

The arrival of Calafiori and making David Raya permanent for the new season is certainly a good thing for Arsenal to do right now because at least with Calafiori, it can make our expectations greater for Arsenal's current defense.
In my opinion, Calafiori is not just a "nice-to-have" but a crucial signing.

Guardiola thus showed that he does not take this match too seriously, although the City squad was also strong. The main time ended without goals, and to see only one shot on target from City during the entire match is strange, even in friendly matches with Barcelona, Milan and Celtic this indicator was much better. I do not believe that Manchester United were so good that they did not allow City players to do that. Unfortunately, I was not able to watch the match, because I could not find where it would be broadcast, apparently for England this is really not a very popular event.

But I want to congratulate City on the victory, another Trophy for Guardiola!
