Watching the boring match of Manchester United vs Brentford. Manchester United's gameplay is disgusting. 40 minutes have passed, in these 40 minutes United have made only 3 shots, none of them were on target. Brentford made 8 shots, 4 were on target. I would be happy if Manchester United lost today. They should not win with such weak gameplay. There are a lot of problems with their strategy.

Regardless of how Chelsea has done, it is a bit unclear why they have adopted a formation that they don't always use to defend their backline.

I think only Thomas Tuchel can answer than question, but what I know is that Chelsea's current formation definitely isn't working as they have won just once in as many games (IIRC, seven to be precise). It may not look like it but I think Tuchel is gradually falling under pressure, we all know how ruthless Chelsea can be when it comes to firing a manager, and Tuchel will have that at the back of his mind in their next games.

Having said that, I think there is a bit of disunity in the dressing room, and Lukaku's comments a few weeks back did nothing but exacerbate things, also following the loss to City, Tuchel didn't have any kind words for Lukaku in particular, I think some players are beginning to lose trust in their manager, and vise versa as well.

Leicester have a habit of playing well against top teams and losing to weaker teams, in my many years of watching the team as a fan I have noticed that Besides, they are in good form now, I would even say very good, so Tottenham will either have to put the pressure on Lees straight away, or keep a moderate game and score towards the end. It's not a good idea to push at the start because even if they manage to score, Leicester will easily come back to haunt them later on.

Today we see a different Tottenham team. Their match strategy has changed. It seems that the coach has realized that it is impossible to win against a team like Leicester by playing defensively. So from the start of the match we have seen a lot of attacks from Tottenham players. Leicester are now forced to play somewhat defensively due to Tottenham's massive attack. The match is still a 1-1 draw.

Brentford  - Manchester United

who dares to bet on this game? whenever i bet on manchester united games they lose the game, that's why today i will not place any bets on that game

It is difficult to predict Manchester United for this season because the results are always not as expected, Brentford is a Promotion team in a bad situation, but Brentford has a good record when playing against some big teams. And it must be remembered that Manchester United also have a bad record against promoted teams.
Hopefully Manchester United can win this match and if they lose or draw it means Ralf Rangnick is not a good coach for Manchester United.

For me, Ralf Rangnick has never been a good coach for Manchester United, carrick was better. Manchester United might win against Brentford tonight but I can’t bet on it, because they might end up drawing or loosing the game it isn’t a new thing after all. Betting on 3 goals in the match or handing brentford a 2 goal handicap would be a more preferable bet. Sing Ralf took over Manchester United they win just one match in every month and they haven’t won any back to back game, maybe this might be their first win of the month considering they drew the last match.

This was very good tactical change from Conte but today Leicester City is playing very good even they are without their many key players but still holding Tottenham with score or 1 - 1 is not bad for them just twenty minutes left into this match and Tottenham having some better play in second half.

But, Leicester City is really having very good game this can give them good 1 deserving point and now Tottenham is going to face Chelsea into their next match which is also not easy for both teams as in last few matches Chelsea is also facing some serious trouble just 1 win from their 7 games is very poor from their standard, and now they are at 3rd position which is also not secured with their current form and some very tough competition from many other London clubs.

[herurist]

What a disappointing start for Tottenham really! They started very dominantly to the game but Leicester scored an unexpected goal and upset the balances. Now, we see Leicester being more in the game and this is a thing that Tottenham should never let it happening. This may even lead to Leicester's 2nd goal in a short time which would be the biggest shock for Tottenham. Tottenham should gather themselves up and fight for the win. I know that they are capable of doing this. And hopefully they can.

Edit: Right after I made this post, Tottenham scored the equalizer. Good for them! And I'm happy too see that Kane scored it.

It will be quite a score to make us confused if the Leicester game turns out to be quite difficult for Tottenham defenders. It was clear when the game statistics almost equalized. Until the estimated score of Tottenham's hopes is getting thinner. Tottenham have a lot of ideas when they start up the tempo that's when they make changes to the flow of attack. I hope in the second half, Tottenham continues to press from the side and with through passes or long-range shots.

it seems that the score will still be with Leicester because now the match has entered extra time.
I think losing some players like Son, Dier and Romero is still a difficult homework to change at the moment for Conte.
In this case, Tottenham are actually quite good but on the other hand, Leicester are better than them in terms of strategy and tactics. Even if you look at Tottenham's superior ball possession, they lost in finishing

I personally prefer to say he hasn't been able to find the right scheme for United at the moment.
he is new to the EPL and very different from Carrick who incidentally has experienced the atmosphere of the EPL before besides that Carrick has also been at MU for a long time so automatically his chemistry will be different quickly from rangnick.
it's too early to say he's not a match I guess because he's only played a few games

[lixer]

What a shocking end of match between Leicester City vs Tottenham, Bergwijn came out from bench at 80 minute and done two stunning injury time goals for his team to give them crucial 3 points against very disciplined Leicester City.

In all 90 minutes game they were very watchful but suddenly at the end they have shocking defeat from Tottenham. With this win now they are above Arsenal at fifth and now having some good chance to win against struggling Chelsea for having some more good points at this stage of season because if they were able to having some good performance against Chelsea this can change tables into their favour for good end of this season.

[BIT-BENDER]

Tottenham Hotspur has really changed since Antonio Conte joined in the are fifth with a point less than Westham in fifth but have like 3 matches less as well, I strongly believe they would definitely be I'm Fourth and even better it's just a matter of time, defeating Leicester city isn't as easy as it looks. Also Manchester United are doing the job in the second half and I think it's great for them because they actually need the victory.

[ingiltere]

It won't be an easy game but I believe Tottenham will win this one. They are five games behind of Chelsea due to many missing games and weird fixture of Premier League. They have potential to be in second place when all teams played twenty three matches. I don't think they can win these five matches though technically this may happen.
Harry Kane like Leicester, which is the team that he has scored the most in Premier League. While Son is out Kane has the responsibility of scoring today. Leicester won three matches in a row at home but this series will end today.

It surely wasn't easy and everybody thought Spurs lost but this was a miracle. Kane scored against Leicester as usual but the man of the match was Bergwijn. Two goals in under thirty seconds is way beyond impressive, we witnessed history tonight.
While it's not a good feeling that seeing Spurs over Arsenal I still applause their effort. We don't watch matches like that often. Tottenham got the well deserved win, other results wouldn't be fair.

You gotta understand that Carrick was part of Ole's coaching staff for a longer period of time compared to Rangnick so yeah Carrick did a better job than Rangnick currently is but the main goal is to get United to survive this season and take atleast top 4 position hence we need Rangnick as the manager because he has alot more experience compared to Carrick

What we see is a miracle in extra time Tottenham scored 2 goals and managed to win when everyone thinks Tottenham will lose or draw

I cant believe that actually happened though, pretty sure that Leicester was going to win that one. All of the players are going to have a nightmare today because of that two last minute goals lol

[Slow death]

Tottenham 3 - 2 Leicester

and to think that in this game I was already thinking that Tottenham would lose, it was almost certain that they would lose, but something unbelievable happened:

scored 2 goals in 7 minutes and worse they scored at halftime from 90 to 97 minutes, how is it possible that the leicester defense allowed something like that? this is insane and unacceptable. Leicester manager must be disappointed

Conte record so far had been incredible haven't lost a premier league since he took charge is worthy of commendation, Tottenham was in a verge of losing their first league game with Conte when Bergwijn scored two goals in quick succession, a bad result for Leceister City who arecwell punished for time wasting.
Though Tottenham is ahead of Arsenal on the table however both clubs has outstanding matches and equally playing each other, at the end of those match, the true picture of their standings on the table will be known.

They've managed to turn it around in the second half. It's now 2-0 and looks like Brentford won't be able to come back on this one. Another 3 points in the bag for Rangnick's men.

Still 7th position though but its good that they got the win today. They just need to maintain this consistency otherwise it won't do them much benefits in the long run as the league itches towards the end.

[Rengga Jati]

Tottenham 3 - 2 Leicester

Those two goals by Tottenham in the very last additional time were very shocking and surprising, moroever for the Leicester City. The club has been on the air and really thought that they have saved 1 goal to win the match. Butit could be opposite only in several minutes only. Wow, really very interesting edning that match. But if we see from how the match going on, both have played very well with almost similar ball possession. But exactly, Tottenham actually hadmore shots than Leicester City.

Btw, also congratulations to Man United that has won from Brentford with the score 3-1.

[Yogee]

Nice to see MU finally winning against a smaller club hehehe.

....how is it possible that the leicester defense allowed something like that? this is insane and unacceptable.

Lapses during the game do happen since they probably thought there's no way their opponent could score in the last couple of minutes.

I don't remember the manager who said it before but it only takes a second or two to score and we've seen many last minute goals happen on many occasion.

Referees in EPL have to get some training from Mr Sikazwe to avoid such awkward finish
A bit serious that was quite disturbing to see the team not concentrated in the last minutes of the game.. I would like to see FIFA ending this overtime scam and stop the watch whenever players try to kill the game by long celebrations or by some acting skills whenever touched the Neymar's way...

Conte always have incredible record on primer league where he was success give trophy for Chelsea and he know how primer league game character, I think he has the same game play on primer league with counter attack and his game play on Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Juventus most counter attacking and always playing with open play without really focus on defensive area. Arsenal lucky because games between Arsenal vs Chelsea postponed and give many days for Arsenal take rest, I think Tottenham Hotspur easy how to defeat Arsenal the same like Leicester City.

[kawetsriyanto]

The gap is 12 points and if Man City win then the gap will be 15 points, it's very far. Tuchel also seemed to be very confused by the declining performance at the beginning of this second half. Maybe they should immediately spend new players to add strength.

Yep, the point gap with Man City is quite far, I think Chelsea can forget to compete for the title. I don't know why Chelsea players' performance is decreasing too much, especially their defensive line. Is it the sign that Rudiger or Christensen wants to leave Chelsea? They don't focus to play because of thinking too much about their future. I think Tuchel needs to remind all players about their commitment and motivate them to do their best. And if it is necessary, buy new players in this transfer window. By the way, the decrease of Chelsea players' performance isn't only in this match. They have got bad results in the last 5 matches (only 1 win, 3 draw, and 1 loss).

"Neymar's way" hehehe. I saw what you did there. I'm not so sure about the overtime since I've seen some games where the referee allows a few more minutes beyond what's allowed for extra time before blowing the whistle. I think they have a time keeper that relays how many seconds were used up during celebrations and "injury".
