Arsenal surprised me (unpleasantly because I was betting on Tottenham win 2-1 and after 1-1 my thoughts were here we go! but lol 3-1 finally) and again single-handedly leads the standings.
Liverpool after 7 games has 10 points and if they don't win in the next game with Arsenal (we are now talking only about victories for Liverpool), then it's time to think about how to get at least into the top 4.

Arteta succeeded in building an arsenal, when facing Tottenham, he used a good strategy. arsenal holds on to the top with 21 points and tottenham must be willing to drop to 3rd position.

Brighton appeared surprising, to be honest, I didn't think they would be able to hold Liverpool to a draw at Anfield. Trossard looked amazing with the hat trick he made. If only Webster didn't score an own goal then Liverpool would most likely lose.

These mistakes will keep on coming as long as the loophole is still there, Liverpool will on keep struggling probably till next window when they must have covered their loops with the right signing for the defensive and midfield jobs. Like I couldn't believe my eyes when Brighton scored 2 goals within about 15 minutes of play.

I would say Liverpool's defense line has gotten quite sloppy like Arnold. I think they could have stopped some of the goals and break down some plays. I wasn't surprised with the goals they scored as they were having a great build up and Liverpool's defense line had no clue on how to break it. I also now feel like it has now gone to as a serious concern. They need to tighten their defense as they really can't afford to drop points from here on.

Everyone was highlighting how Liverpool's defense worked, how easily they were penetrated by Brighton's attack. I think the goals were a defensive mistake. It was a bad defense for Liverpool.
I was reminded of Manchester United some time ago whose defense worked very poorly. I wish they wouldn't be Manchester United vol 2. Lol.

Well its not really every game though. Yeah some of the games but tonight its not really his fault though. The entire back line is not functioning as it should be and Liverpool is currently not in a good shape for sure after not winning for few times. Well selling Mane might seems like a bad decision now after all and increasing Salah's wage as well I guess lol  

The decision to release Sadio Mane seems to be back in the debate. I wouldn't say Liverpool's current form is due to the loss of Sadio Mane, but his absence from the squad is quite pronounced. The arrival of Nunez who is expected to contribute well, in fact, until now he has not given anything to the game from Liverpool. The draw against Brighton made them lose the confidence they had before the season started.

Once again Dijk has been clumsy - and he's having a terrible season so far. He's making a costly error every game.

Not only V Dijk, almost all the Liverpool defence wasn't solid. Except for Arnold who was a striker in the match. The whole team is still suffering Mane's absent and it is difficult for them to cope. Today Nunez was on bench and even when Firmino was removed, I thought that Nunez will come in but Klopp instead brought Jota as a sub.
Liverpool needs to calm down and discover where the problem is coming from so that they can fix it and return to the excellent team we used to know in Liverpool.

Overall every Liverpool line is not functioning well, almost all the comments highlight the defense. Yes that's right, the defense line is too weak. The midfield and attack also did not show Liverpool as a big team. They played too casually and seemed to have no burden at all.
This time Liverpool were saved by OG from Brighton players (Adam Webster), if there was no OG Liverpool would have ended the match with a 2-3 defeat.

no defense, no midfield, Henderson as a starter as bad as Milner, TAA the worst player on the pitch, and Klopp doesn't know about Brighton, Left wing replaces Milner, and uses LFC as a place player devolepment, doesn't buy midfield players. The Top 4 will be out of sight after the end of this month with selections and performances like this.

[herurist]

We really fucked this one up - and lost important points once again. A team as experienced as we are should know how to close the game off after managing a comeback from 0-2 to 3-2.

Arsenal were great and fully deserved their win at the derby. We're going to the Emirates next and for the first time in the last 5 years or so, I feel like they are the favorites.

This happened to me too because I bet for Tottenham in this match but luckily I made another bet with both clubs scoring goals so the loss is still covered although not all.
It's surprising to see Arsenal play. I know they have been very good this season but in this game they were way more than I expected.
Apart from the red card that was there, actually Tottenham lost in terms of ball possession and chances from the start.

[Avirunes]

Well I don't think so it will come down to that. Liverpool have been playing great in earlier seasons and it just they are going through rough patch. Klopp is a smart manager and I think he will fix this but it will certainly take time but they also don't have time as it is slowly taking them out of PL race. With United it was way different, their players not that well to begin with while players in Liverpool had seen quite some success.

[Raflesia]

Chelsea needs new players in midfield they need to sell the youngsters so they can try and improve the midfield. They need some experienced players. They got lucky today and they wont be lucky always so Chelsea is still in serious problems and i honestly dont see them in top 4 this season

But this is still good enough for them although there are still some things to improve but this will definitely be gradual.
Regardless of whether they need a midfielder or not, I think they still have a little difficulty in finishing because their game pattern is always legible considering that if you see this match they always start attacks from both sides so it is easy for the opponent to read.

Arsenal played a nice game today against Tottenham, I was thinking it will be a difficult match for Arsenal, to be honest before the match started I was thinking Arsenal might lose the match, but when the match started Arsenal performance made me believe they will win the match. Arsenal really played Tottenham today, they played a matured game and they really deserve the win. I just hope Arsenal will be able to perform well in their next match against Liverpool, I believe Arsenal will win the match because Liverpool perform is not really good for now.

[dezoel]

Liverpool is having a bit of a crisis and looking at how difficult it is for teams in EPL having a crisis to recover, it is going to be really tough. I am sensing that after many years of watching how Liverpool plays, other teams figured out how to defend them, but if it was that simple then they would have figured out a way to stop City as well, and they cannot.

There is something wrong and it is much bigger than just Mane, one player cannot make a team this terrible, Klopp needs to figure this out. I know he is an unbelievable manager and definitely brought so much joy to the club, and they will keep him for a while longer of course, possibly until end of the season, but this would be second season where they had a bad year, so he needs to fix it asap.

[Pokapoka124]

I hear people now saying that Tottenham are not good enough that is why Arsenal were able to beat them, they say Tottenham are not the test until they play against Manchester city that is when Arsenal will be proven to be good but they fail to acknowledge the fact that Tottenham have been in good form and were at third position before the game and Arsenal were able to humble them with fantastic goals from Partey, Gabriel and Xhaka.

Chelsea still has a lot of work to do; they were quite fortunate to win today. To aid Chelsea, Graham Potter must use his strategies. I have such faith that he will restore the club to its former grandeur. Chelsea sorely lacks aggressive attackers, thus he would need to buy players in the January transfer window. That fact is unavoidable. And a playmaker who can control the midfield and is also appealing. Graham Potter, as I will mention, requires a total of five additional players in order to fight for title with the team they now have. Graham Potter needs to exert as much influence as possible in the locker room since the players lack confidence following Tuchel's dismissal.

You guys have more information about me.
Do we have any rumors from England about Conte leaving Spurs at the end of the season or even being sacked?

I can only hear some small, very light voice about a possible comeback to Juventus at the end of the season but nothing really so far.

Crazy day in the EPL today... Already early in the game Brighton beat Liverpool 0-1 away and Chelsea lose to Crystal Palace... Of course the matches have just started, but these are already very interesting results... I think that by the end of the games the score should be different, but I didn't expect at least from Liverpool such game... It's also a shame that Fulham got a red card in the first half and Newcastle were able to score the first goal... Before the match I thought the hosts would win...

It is currently tied in two games.  Liverpool scored two goals with Firmino.  Brighton won two goals with Trossard.  It's going 2-2 right now and Liverpool is the team that puts more pressure.  Chelsea has a score of 1-1 in the match.  Aubameyang's goal brought Chelsea a draw and Chelsea will work hard to reach the goal in the remaining minutes.  Newcastle United scored the 4th goal and smashed Fulham.

Liverpool's Firminho scored 2 goals. He is no doubt a good player, we can expect two goals from him. And he has many talents. However, Trossard of Liverpool's opponent scored 3 goals alone to equalize the team. That surprised me today. Scoring 3 goals alone against Liverpool is a huge achievement.

It feels good to see Firminho back in form again for Liverpool after a long time of losing his scoring ability, he’s finally got the chance to prove to Klopp that he can still be the man to lead the teams attack and can score goal and win games. What an interesting game today against Brighton which witnessed 6 goals in the games, the man of the match and talking point is Trossard, he was very excellent today scoring a hatrick and securing a draw against Liverpool at home.

[Zackgeno96]

An extremely entertaining game from Liverpool at home to Brighton. Another draw and this time with 6 goals. Of course the supporters like to see matches where there is a lot of spectacle, but if your team doesn't win then it will become a problem in the long run. And so Liverpool just continue to be in poor form. I don't think we should expect much more from Liverpool especially before the winter break. The win from Newcastle was a very good one. 1-4

[MinoRaiola]

Coach Tuchel is away from Chelsea FC and the next game was won. Coach Potter wins his first Premier League game and with a lot of luck at the end. Joker Gallagher scores from 20 yards with a brilliant shot. And don't forget, Gallagher played for Crystal Palace last season, so a goal against his ex club. Crystal Palace needed this point, they are now 17th in the league, but next match.

[Josefjix]

Chelsea new boss, Graham Potter won his first game for the blues as their manager. Eagles pulls a threat for the blues, but Graham's men were able to absurd all the pressure and converted it positively back to the home side. Pierre Aubameyang scoring his first goal for his new club, Chelsea against the Patrick eagles levelled the scoreline. Later on, Gallagher netted a goal that gave the blues lead over Crystal palace and he didn't utter to celebrate the goal.

[Pulsar77]

Liverpool - Brighton was the most unbelievable match of the day.

I mean that it was a big surprise to see Liverpool conceding two goals in the first 17 minutes already. Trent - van Dijk duo were definitely terrible in defense today. Liverpool owe Firmino so much for this match as he scored two lovely goals and helped his team pull themselves together. It was a wonderful comeback to 3-2. However the defensive issues were still going on after that too. Brighton's third goal came by another defensive issue. Trent was so close to make himself forgiven by a free-kick goal but his superb shot hit the goal post I'm afraid. If it ended up with a goal it could have been the winning goal at the same time.

This was definitely a match that Liverpool should have won no matter what. The criticism about them will be even more serious unless Liverpool improve their form in the league as soon as possible. Klopp is a manager who is liked a lot but people are getting really worried about the future of their team now.

Later on, Gallagher netted a goal that gave the blues lead over Crystal palace and he didn't utter to celebrate the goal.

It's good that Graham Potter finally got his first win as Chelsea coach, hopefully Chelsea's positive trend can continue. Although Chelsea only won
narrowly against Crystal Palace, then Chelsea also only confirmed their victory in the last minute of the match. At least Chelsea made sure to get
3 points and it really helped Chelsea to be able to climb to a higher position. Another interesting thing is that Aubameyang finally managed to score
a goal, this proves that Aubameyang is starting to adapt to the Chelsea game. Chelsea's win against Crystal Palace was a good start for Potter,
I hope Potter can make Chelsea win again in the Champions League when Chelsea have to face AC Milan. Because if Chelsea wants to open up
opportunities to qualify for the next round in the Champions League, Chelsea must be able to beat AC Milan.

My both teams to score bet on the Arsenal - Tottenham game won very easily. Tottenham had a really unfortunate game here after the red card especially. Arsenal had just the kind of a game they would have wanted and got a comfortable 3-1 win at the end.

Besides I also think that Tottenham should develop new strategies for big games like this. They have done a great job in general so far but they should be much more effective in big games. Because these games are the most important ones for them to prove their strength and fight for the title also. I was expecting to see a more solid team today but I didn't see any until the red card.

I agree completely. Tottenham seems like a great team on paper and usually perform great against the normal teams but when it comes to the big games, they lack the necessary performance. I was also expecting to see a more solid team from them but Arsenal was just better. They moved the ball with such system and discipline, one can expect and foresee the first goal easily. Even though Tottenham did not too bad offensively, they always lack the result in big games. In this match, their main strategy was counter attacks. I don't think that would be the strategy of a big team. I feel like Harry Kane is wasted on this team sometimes. On the other hand, Arsenal plays splendidly. I expect them to be at the top with City.

Chelsea are the favorites to win this forth coming game against crystal Palace for two reasons. First, they have a new coach who will be more than ready to prove himself with new and improved tactics - offense, defense, posessions and players who are in high-spirits. Second, historically, Chelsea has always dominated Crystal Palace in all of its encounters, and in my opinion, history will repeat itself.

Chelsea winning their match today was the highlight of my day. I predicted it based off of historical records of the matches between the two the two teams. I am happy for the team and most especially for Graham Potter. I must admit that I noticed some few lapses here and there but hey there is still room for improvement. This is a good sign for the team and the management going forward. It means, there is hope for the team.
