Well , that's a nice one on ward-prowse ... everyone knows how dangerous he is whenever trying to shoot even from the long range and it's proven in the match that he scored through the freekick and pretty sharp making kepa hard to stop it.

That freekick stuns chelsea , potter the one to blame now .

His set-piece kick is dangerous indeed. And actually Kepa shouldn't be sad because other big names like De Gea, Lloris, and Pickford had experience same situation lol. Even with a guy lying behind the wall cant stop him to score a freekick goal. Priceless.

I hope Newcastle can stay in the top four until the end of the season but unfortunately, after yesterday's World Cup break it seems that Newcastle's performance has continued to decline. Currently, Newcastle is ranked fifth in the Premier League standings, and Newcastle's position remains unsafe because it is still vulnerable to being overtaken.
If Newcastle still can't end the season in the top four, then it will make it difficult for Newcastle to get a star player in the transfer window later.

I have no doubt that Newcastle is a strong team now, but they still can't be compared to other teams who have already been named strong teams. For competition they still have to learn a lot from what happened this season. Their decline shows that their mentality is not that big to compete with a team that incidentally has been the favorite since the start of the season. So they have to work harder to be able to compete strictly in that position.

[AverageGlabella]

James Ward Prowse is the best free kick taker in the Premier League so there is no shame in letting a goal in against him in that position but I still think Kepa could have done better. I thought he set up his wall incorrectly and that had an impact on the space that James Ward Prowse had.

Chelsea need to change things up and I think it starts with Kepa. He has been a bad influence before a couple of seasons ago so I wonder if he is the reason again. I remember him refusing to leave the field a couple of years ago and I doubt he has changed and could be a negative influence on the dressing room because they are not performing like they can.

[Gosgosking]

.... imagine, if Ten Hag was given the freedom to bring in the players he wants. I'm pretty sure United will be much stronger than they are currently showing.

It's easy to believe such scenario but I wouldn't be too sure since you are also just making assumptions. Rashford has been on a surge but you can't really predict he would perform the same if he had other teammates. We've seen many new pairings that looked good on paper but never really worked on the field.

Erik Ten Hag is trying to make the most of the players he currently has, and that seems to be quite working. Even under his coaching, many players were able to bring out their abilities very well, for example, Marcus Rashford, who continued to transform into a sharp player in Manchester United's attack line. This is the first step for Erik Ten Hag, as this is his first season as part of Manchester United.

Eric Ten Hag has done very well for Manchester United in building the team not up to a full season as a coach. This something that will be so difficult for other coach. I think Eric Ten Hag is the best thing that has happened to Manchester United because without him I don't think Manchester United will be able to get this far they have reached.

[Ayers]

The level of recovery witnessed under the new Manchester united is quite awesome and as long as they keep playing at the current speed their will definitely move to compete with Asernal for the first spot and if I must predict the outcome of this season I may say Manchester is likely to take man city spot as the second position in the next coming games.

What we see from Manchester United's current game is the fruit of the strategy owned by Erik Ten Hag, now Manchester United is more organized in defense and attack. Also they have a good transition when they build up attacks. They are not in a hurry to get the ball into the attack line, but they take advantage of the players' ability to hold the ball and practice it well.

Erik Ten Hag added another dimension to the team. I think he has a good relationship with the players and makes the team better. The influence of Ten Hag in this rise of Manchester United must be acknowledged. Manchester United are performing better than expected in the Premier League. If they eliminate Barcelona, ​​we can say the same for the Europa League.

It seems like Erik ten Hag has a good relationship with all the Manchester United players because a good relationship between manager and players is very important to create a solid team and also good because of good communication. And as we can see how Manchester is playing very well, especially Marcus Rashford.
and in my opinion with this season's match which leaves 14 more matches, Manchester United's chance to fight for the English league championship trophy is still wide open. And for the game against Barcelona at home to Manchester United I'm sure Manchester United will win it.

I am not so sure about Manchester United being able to beat Barcelona in the next match. I understand the second leg is going to be played in home conditions for Manchester United. All Barcelona is going to need is to have Robert Lewandowski perform well and score.

Of course, Robert Lewandowski's scoring is not going to be enough for Barcelona to win. But that is going to increase the chances of Barcelona winning a lot. And I also think that Barcelona will have to play well as a team. This is going to be hard for Barcelona, no doubt. But it is doable.

[Zackgeno96]

United has had a very nice season overall. We can no longer compare this team with the team that became champions for years in a row and was the absolute number 1 in England. But we can compare the current performance with the performance of last season, and if you look at that, there is a lot of improvement. I think they can do even better. Of course they don't have someone like De Bruyne and Haaland, they often make the difference at City. United has invested a lot of money in signings, such as Antony and Casemiro. Antony may still make a somewhat disappointing impression. After all, you can expect a bit more from someone worth 100 million and he doesn't always play either.

I think it was key to get rid of Ronaldo because that leaves room for other players to develop. Ronaldo wants to take the penalties, the free kicks, the everything that a player would like to do. If you are a talented, rising young player you get mad at some point when there is this one guy who demands everyone else to play just for him and accept everything he wants and says. I guess ten Haag realized that and decided to change it. That was quite brave because it came to quite the showdown between him and Ronaldo and it could have gone either way if he didn't have the success he then had with the team when Ronaldo didn't play. Well done.

ManU cannot be compared to the last seasons nor to the beginning of the actual one. If we take a look on the team few months ago, they were performing very poorly at some points, they were the joke of EPL. Things changed luckily for them which wasn't the case for Chelsea nor Liverpool.
At the same time, gunners took the lead while City dropped a little although they have better players. There is still time to see how things will evolve

[KTChampions]

Tuchel was fired a bit hastily (and in fact, there is no benefit from this decision now), probably because the new owners of the club were ready to sacrifice the current season to make a complete restructuring of the team (this is very clearly seen from the money spent). But they hardly expected how lost this season will be and that Chelsea will not only fly out of the top 4 but also out of the Eurocup zone in general.

It's good for him (Toed Boehly).  If he wishes to lose this season just for restructuring let him lose and play in the championship if he likes. after all, he is business-minded and if the business crashes he still has himself to blame.
Chelsea is a big club in England, and very soon, fans will be fed up and may decide not to swallow the shame of watching matches that will knowingly end in a loss or draw, maybe then he will do the right thing when he no more makes money from fans ticket.

Hmmm... And what would be the right decision in his place now? Fire Potter and bring Tuchel back? Or fire Potter and get a new coach? He made a big investment, and even though this is at least a medium-term project, I am sure that the results are needed now. But football is a business close to gambling (results are not guaranteed) and I don’t even know how it would be right to act in his place now.

If I compare Eric Ten hag,  and Mikel Arteta's Success stories, both look closely similar. Ten hags and Arteta while losing were fully aware of what is wrong with the team and how to fix it, and within a short period they discovered a quick solution. For Ten Hag, he bought Casmero for the Dm and Ericson for the CM. For Arteta,  he bought Fabio Viera and Marquinhos who now adds the loose creativity to Arsenal Midfield today. But Graham potter doesn't know where to capitalize on Chelsea's problem and how to solve it. I'm still wondering why he's still given time.

Both joined the teams to fix the team situation and both of them are doing good so far, When Eric Ten hag started working on Machester United this team bad situation and even he had a problem with their superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and none could imagine this team better even better after Ronaldo leaving them, but right now and thanks to Eric Ten hag they are even near to the first place and can think about winning the league in first position, while when Mikel Arteta joined his team he didn't face these problems, so I guess Ten hag had harder days comparing to Arteta.

[Distraction]

Newcastle have done even much more than the expected things from them so far. Therefore I think their fans are still happy with their team's being around top positions now.

Yes their form has dropped quite much recently. They couldn't get any win in their last four league matches and this helped Tottenham capture the fourth spot from them. But the competition for this position is completely alive as the point gap is only one. However Newcastle are going to have another very challenging matchup ahead which is against Manchester City in Etihad. While Manchester City are in the title fight it will be really difficult for Newcastle to resist them. Manchester City have lost points in unexpected matches so far of course but I don't think this will be one of them.

When it comes to performance, Newcastle has made an effort this year, but as you pointed out, they cannot be compared to other clubs. It is just that playing against Newcastle can be so frustrating at times because they may not score but will also keep you from scoring. Thank God, however, that Arsenal has reclaimed their rightful place. But even at that we really need to work more cause the league is getting more Interesting.

Ten Hag didn't meet a broken squad, no matter how you try to put it. His philosophy is more of fostering a younger team that can outlast the coming seasons with great play like it was under Sir Alex.
Arteta's team just happened to have the belief which is the  ideal of Wenger in a youthful team. It is working out no doubt and any team who is doing better has sometime encountered the dilema of how to perform brilliantly under a new manager with new tactics or ideas .

As frustrating as that is, I must say that is the fun in the game, though I am not a fan of Newcastle, but I personally love them and love to watch their games because of that ability, if you cant beat them, then don't allow them to beat you, it a good game strategy actually, if they can perfect this strategy , and as well improve in their game play, or maybe buy more really good player, trust me, they can become one of the best teams in football.
And speaking of Arsenal, its a thing of joy, i just hope they dont lose that position again, cus if they do again, it might harder to reclaim back.

Mikel Arteta and ten Hag have done a great work for their respective team, they were able to bring out the best from their players. If these two teams don't end up winning the league it is very certain they will be participating in the Champions league next season. Their improvement was so quick, I respect this ten Hag and Arteta.

Eirc Hag has really built the team with love, these days if the players score,you will see them running to embrace the coach and one another,this was hardly done during the time of other coaches. This season is a season that Manchester united is letting the world to know that they are back and better.

By next season, no club will the able to withstand manchster united playing force due to the experience and game bond which will have increased by then. I hope if they can continue in this form,they might win the EPL this season. Rashford is unstoppable when it comes to netting the post.

[Docnaster]

Unfortunately things have changed. Arsenal no more gathers a momentum as strong as it was before but yet, I still see them in EPL winners picture. I'm not a fan but I will be happy if they could at least win this season's EPL title from pep Guarduola.
Arsenal still seems strong and competent and is still bent on doing what it takes to win the elp. What I can't tell now is the joy that comes with seeing Arsenal play the champion league tournament come next season.

Yep. Both Arteta and Ten Hag have done their best effort to manage their clubs. I really respect what these coaches have done so far, it is simply amazing. Arsenal should be the favorite team to win the EPL title this season, they are still leading the table although Man City almost overtakes them. I am sure Arsenal still has enough power to maintain the 1st position until the season ends. Arsenal has a quality squad, they choose an effective tactic this season. As long as Arteta manages Arsenal, this team will be the favorite to win the title. Regarding what Ten Hag did, he can make Man United be in the top 3 now. It is something difficult to achieve by previous coaches. Man United is in UCL zone and they have a chance to overtake Man City in 2nd place.

[Newlifebtc]

Chelsea is not in good form so their next match which is with Tottenham might favour the away team because they are more better currently than chelsea
