Injuries are a part of football. A. Villa and Newcastle have been hit by injury crisis this season, they have spent far less than Man. United but are still performing fairly good in comparison. The problem I have with Ten Hag is the lack of a style of play, with or without injuries.

Maybe Ten Hag should be sacked already, but Manchester United already has a very long line of failed managers it's difficult to know who to put the blame on anymore. This will be only his second full season at the club and if he can somehow get them into the champions league or maintain Europa league spot, it may be worth giving a shot under the new owners.

Poch joined a fragile rebuild and is tasked with turning that into a top club, not an easy task at all. Definitely needs at least one more season.

ETH is not the problem, and even if he leaves, the next manager will face the same difficulty. Man has struggled with injuries from the beginning of the season. Players kept coming and going, so he had to change tactics every week to fit the available players. Maguire and Dalot were literally removed from his team; they are now back since Martinez and others are still absent, yet he is still vying for the TOP 4. He is not the problem; he simply lacks the necessary tools. He's still the best choice out there...

The only manager who doesn't know what he's doing is Poch. He's been exposed again.

Thank you for the clarification. I read this on their website but didn't get a full hang of it, makes a lot of sense now.

I expect at the end of the season, England will get an edge over either Italy or Germany.

Asides of another bad weekend for me in this pool.

What a game we had yesterday, i see the last 20 minutes of the game and man was incredible. What a game to be on Stamford Bridge and see it in live.

Anyways both teams are pure shit and for me both teams has to sack the coachs, ETH and Pochettino showed they dont have a reliable team and they had so much time to work on it.
The same fate in this pool, downward sloping bad luck. Sad

This match was unexpected we didn't expect a goal like this at the end but obviously it was unstoppable Chelsea's anger paid off in stoppage time.

I wonder if Erik Ten Hag and Pochettino are sacked how this club will develop at least for next season then change will always be there but sacking early is not a solution for them just throwing money away for them to leave and the coach that comes.
One of the craziest matchs in recent times with good win for the Chelsea and now things are more troubling for the Ten Hag because with this defeat and now another defeat which is waiting for them on Sunday things could be terrible, and we will have no survive for the Ten Hag most chances he is going to face exit at the end of this season.
Pochettino is going to have better chance for survive because his team is having chance for staying into better spot at the end of this season, even It's still going to take time for having better results but look like now they can do much better in coming matches after this good win.

Game week 31 and it’s the most exciting title race for a long time with 3 teams separated by 3 points.

Crystal Palace vs Man City
Brighton vs Arsenal
Man Utd vs Liverpool

Please Liverpool just win. 

When we look at the remaining matches of the 3 teams in the championship race, Liverpool will have taken a big step on the road to the championship if they manage to win against Manchester United away this week. My biggest fear is that Liverpool are having difficulties against Manchester United quite much this season. They were eliminated by their opponent in the FA Cup and got a draw by 0-0 at Anfield.

What two other slots do you mean?
The number of clubs participating in the UCL was increased from 32 to 36, meaning they are adding an extra 4 teams. If the two top leagues have 1 extra slot each that still remains 2 slots to be filled.
~

One additional slot is given to the third team from the country's national championship, which is in 5th place according to the UEFA coefficient. One more additional slot will be given to one of the clubs competing in the qualifying tournament. Moreover, this qualifying tournament will consist of four stages and not three as before. In general, outsiders get additional chances, but the group stage turns into a garbage competition that you can not watch at all and calmly wait for the playoffs, the composition of which will still be the same as usual  Grin

What a comeback from Chelsea. They thoroughly deserved to win on the night and just like against Brentford, United deserved to lose. Cole Palmer, great guy.
I was thinking which second choice keeper has better filled the boots left vacant by injuries this season to the first choice.

Caoimhín Kelleher has impressed for Liverpool in the absence of Allison winning the confidence of his defenders and also the fans.
Petrovic has been a roller-coaster ride for Chelsea. He has shone on occasions and not covered himself in Gold in others. He has time to gain more experience and improve, especially aerially.
Stefan Ortega is having one of his best spells for City and is already considering a quest for first team football elsewhere. He has been impressive between the sticks.
Martin Dúbravka has replaced Nick Pope well at Newcastle as well, repaying the confidence the team has shown in him.

Overall, Martin Dúbravka has been the most impressive for me among all the replacement goalkeepers. Who has been yours?
Was there any name I missed?

The last time I checked the new regulations it said only about the top two countries that receive an additional ticket. At the moment it is Italy + Germany.
I did some research to confirm the information I knew about it and I cannot really make sense of how the extra four teams will be decided. I can see that Italy and Germany are 1 and 2 on the access list. But how are the other two slots filled?

By the way, theoretically, if Liverpool or West Ham win the Europa League, and England can beat Germany, then 6 teams from England will get into the Champions League at once.
If it is Liverpool, who will already have a slot from direct qualification, I do not think it will make it 6.
~

Yes, you are right about Liverpool which will get a ticket due to being in the top 4. This means that to create a crowd of English clubs we must wait for a feat from West Ham  Grin
What two other slots do you mean? Top 4 gets 4 slots. +1 slot if England oust Germany and another +1 slot if West Ham win the Europa League. I think the distribution of slots in the Europa League does not depend on the Champions League and those 2 clubs that are below the Champions League zone will receive their tickets. Well, there is still the option that Aston Villa will win the Conference League and then there will be 3 clubs from the Premier League in the Europa League.
It turns out that the maximum number could be as follows: 6 clubs in the Champions League, 3 clubs in the Europa League and the 10th club in the Conference League.
Good news for Chelsea!  Grin

You gotta feel sorry for the EPL under 21 fans - they're stuck with Foden, Palmer, Halaand and Saka for the player of the season awards for the next decade and non of these players are Joy to watch except for Saka (sometimes).
They are all joys to watch i=on their good days. They do not play with a lot of flair like some of the older players, their style is more direct and aimed at productivity. Stars will also be bought in and brought up

Lennon, Walcott, and Sterling were all very direct players at their young age and were a joy to watch, so being direct does not preclude anyone from being juicy, do you see what I mean?

The one young star I love watching even when he isn't scoring is Liverpool's Elliot; he's direct and technically good.

The EPL is lacking Samba boys - the ones Chelsea bought were all sent out on loan.

That will be an absurdity. Top scorer? Maybe he retains it. Best player? Definitely no.

Halaand is still in contention and leading the race as this point. ( Going to be the worse player to win)  Nothing special about him this season.

What is happening to me in this round… so unlucky had 1-2 on Wolves and 1-2 on Tottenham and some big chances were missed and i ended up losing some really big points and dropped to third position even now that is a problem now for me… i cannot believe how unlucky i am in the last few weeks hopefully it comes back to me in the next matches,rounds.

2-1 is one of my goto scores and it usually works out but the draws are what kills most of us when there seems to be a clear favorite you have to go for the win. Big points for all of you at the top, cryptofrka is looking very good in the big pools.

Guys like us just wanna go in the top 10 Tongue

And yeah poor Foden, hattrick but will only be considered for young prize. And then worse by the time they are 'adults' they are all worn out Tongue

Manchester City have been experiencing difficulties against teams at top places this season. Today Guardiola tried a different tactic by leaving Haaland on the bench and became successful about this. Do you think this result they got would threaten Haaland's place in the starting eleven or do you think it is only a one-match thing?

I don't think Man City's comfortable win against Aston Villa pose any threat to Haaland's position in the team. Alvarez was Haaland's replacement for the game but despite Alvarez playing for the entire 90 minutes, he couldn't get on the scoresheet, although he did contribute a lot to the team's game flow and play build ups better than Haaland would probably have done had he start the game instead.
Guardiola in my opinion, decided to make sure all his players are ready for the final laps of the season, since they're still competing on 3 fronts. De Bruyne didn't play either, while both players (KDB and Haaland) were already warming up to get introduced into the match, scoring another goal which guaranteed the team's victory was logically why neither of them later got subbed on eventually.

Nothing to see here it's just the Manager saving the legs of his two best players for the champions League game against Real Madrid next week. The fixtures are chocked up and this is the only way to manage the team..
