Brentford surprised everybody by beating Manchester City.

Toney was out to send a well-deserved message to Southgate for leaving him out of the World Cup squad with his current scoring form, which I didn't understand while he was left out, and this is his 10th goal this season.

Newcastle win to pile on the pressure on Chelsea manager Potter.

4 losses in the last 5 games, our losses no longer surprise me. I've never been this confident betting against my own team, the lack of quality to string a simple 4 passes per game, and the coach picks aren't helping either. He's been here for months and is still experimenting with his lineup every fucking game. None of our summer signings have contributed or adapted to the team; they were far good under TT than what we are seeing now. I'm glad we're going into the World Cup knowing we're shit, and I hope the players return better after the World Cup. I feel sorry for Potter; he already appears to be befuddled by the situation.

The final result of the day. With Manchester City losing today and Arsenal winning, they have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table:

Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-2 Arsenal

[JollyGood]

Here are the results for the final two games being played in the Premier League before the break for the World Cup. The next set of Premier League games take place on 26th December 2022 and until then this is how the Premier League table stands:

Brighton and Hove Albion 1-2 Aston Villa  
      
Fulham 1-2 Manchester United

It was such a dramatic finish in the Fulham vs Manchester United match. Garnacho's goal was really impressive to me. After a one-two with Eriksen, Garnacho made a really great run into the penalty area and finished it decently. He really saved his team there.

De Gea was great as always. He made really great and important saves. Otherwise they could have even lost this match. Rashford and Martial wasted big goal opportunities. They could have won this easier at the same time if they were more capable of finishing. Besides there was a mistake by Martinez on Fulham's goal. He was sleeping I assume because he didn't even try to cut the ball by sliding.

[püsür]

Liverpool had a really solid match against Southampton. I really missed this Liverpool domination in a league match. Maybe Southampton aren't having a good season now. But it was not going very well for Liverpool as well in the recent times.

Nunez shined in this match by scoring two goals. Firmino scored after a long break and it was a really nice header. He wasn't called to Brazil national team for the World Cup and maybe his not scoring for some time was effective in this. Actually he deserves better than this I think because his general effort is still impressive this season. I believe that penalty should have given to Salah as he was pulled from his shirt. Southampton found a few clear goal chances but Alisson made nice saves.

Alisson was incredible in the match. He blocked 3 of Southampton's clear positions with his great reflexes. The defense was not good again. Without Van Dijk, they would be very bad. Nunez and Firmino were also very good, but I adore Thiago, what a talent he is, what a coolness. He does a lot of work both defensively and defensively. I wonder what the Spanish couch is thinking, who didn't take that man to the national team. Liverpool played a good game against their weak rival. We saw the same weakness in the 2nd half, but Liverpool's. The midfield is overtaken very quickly. Soton couldn't capitalize on it, but solid opponents will use it very well.

The Premier League teams were taking the field in the last match before the World Cup break. Last year's runners-up Liverpool returned to their best form before this World Cup break. Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino, who was not included in the World Cup squad, managed a great win against Southampton for the Allreds. Liverpool got a big win in the last round of matches before the Premier League break. Jurgen Klopp's side beat Southampton 3-1 at Anfield. Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez scored two goals. Firmino scored the rest of the goals.

[JollyGood]

Toney was out to send a well-deserved message to Southgate for leaving him out of the World Cup squad with his current scoring form, which I didn't understand while he was left out, and this is his 10th goal this season.

Competition was tough but choosing Wilson over Toney seems to have been a mistake especially on current form and the fact Wilson has regular injury issues.

How much time will Potter be given for his experiments? He has already been shown grace by the fans and the owners but missing out on a top 4 finish will be a disaster for Chelsea.

Garnacho brought on a new dimension of attacking football when he was brought on as a substitute, Fulham did not know how to cope with him eventually he scored the winning goal. De Gea did make crucial saves again but Martial more than Rashford really did waste opportunities.

Having said that the World Cup is about to begin and for that reason the Premier League has been paused until 26th December 2022.

Arsenal went into the World Cup break with the top spot in the Premier League. There are six days left for the World Cup in Qatar. So European club football is going on a long vacation. Before that, the clubs are entering the field for the last time. In the last match before the break in the English Premier League, Arsenal, the top team in the points list, got a great victory. It widened the gap with second-placed Manchester City.

Garnacho is seeing Ronaldo as his idol and it looks like Ronaldo is letting him do some of his goal celebrations at the same time. It is nice to see actually if Garnacho manages to develop his game more and more in time.    Manchester United would make use of the contribution of this kind of young talents a lot these days. Because things aren't going well for them especially in the attacking line.

I wonder if Manchester United are thinking of signing a striker in January. Especially if Ronaldo leaves then I'd expect them to go for a striker most probably. Ronaldo feels betrayed by the team now and this might mean that he would leave in January if possible.

[execijutiere]

Manchester united defeated Fulham 2-1 with a goal in the last minutes. I think Ronaldo is being treated unfairly.  I don't like it when a footballer with such a career history is treated like this. There shouldn't be so much pressure.
In the other match of the day brighton lost at home to aston villa. The home side played better but couldn't win. They beat Arsenal in the League Cup. I expected them to win this game.

[Dubaian]

Manchester City was the champion of the English Premier League last season, and they are considered to be the title contenders this time as well. Brentford FC, who rose to the Premier League a season ago, beat that city. 12 Nov Brentford win 2-1 against Manchester City. Brentford's Evan Tone scored a brace against Phil Fodd's one. With this, Citizens lost 2 matches in the league this season. Along with 11 wins, they also have 2 draws. The loss also left Pep Guardiola's men at the top of the points table. Manchester is now second in the table with 32 points in 14 matches. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are at the top with 2 points despite playing one less game. On the other hand, Brentford, who beat Manchester City, is in the 11th place of the table with 19 points in 15 matches. The win against Man City was their fourth win of the season. They lost 4 matches against 7 draws.

If Ronaldo leaves in January, they may as well bring in a new striker because Martial is prone to injury and they can't rely on Rashford for the rest of the season. Isn't it time Garnacho realized he no longer belongs to the academy, he is now a professional player who shouldn't have to live in the shadow of another player? Yes, he idolized Ronaldo, but hitting his goal celebration every time he scored strikes me as childish. It's not a big deal, but I believe that every professional should have their own trademark.

@JollyGood If players are chosen based on performance and not PR, Wilson, Gallagher, and Philips, who has yet to start a game for Manchester City, have no business in the world cup. The absence of Toney, Abraham, and Tomori reveals a lot about Southgate. Well, I have no expectations from England.

[RockBell]

Arsenal will be coming strong after the World Cup and is already working on signing certain players however, Haaland's performance is slipping from when he was signed, when the heat was still on, and Manchester United and Real Madrid are already planning to sign Victor Osimen from Napoli. I would have preferred if Madrid could have acquired him because I believe he would have been a better fit there than at Manchester United during the World Cup break.

He only failed to score in his last game since returning from injury and was unlucky not to be on the scoresheet. lol

Manchester United and Real Madrid are already planning to sign Victor Osimen from Napoli. I would have preferred if Madrid could have acquired him because I believe he would have been a better fit there than at Manchester United during the World Cup break.

Another unnecessary move; why would he leave Napoli, which has been performing admirably since last season? They have been trying to build a competitive team around Osimen and now that things are going well for both him and the club, do you think Napoli would entertain such a move? I don't think so, Osimen is valued at Napoli and has been the fans' favorite since his arrival, and if I were him, I would stay. He has no place in Real Madrid as long as Benzema is still around. The likelihood of him joining Manchester United in the summer is high, as they have been in direct contact with his agent for some time.

I don’t expect Arsenal to splash the cash instantly because I feel that they’ll have to sell player’s first, and even if they have the cash it won’t be much to attract big stars hence it’ll be really interesting to see whom do they manage to buy in the January transfer window.

Also Haaland has done exceptionally well and he’s not going to be at the World Cup which means he’s coming back hungry to score more goals, and lastly I don’t expect Victor to leave now maybe in the summer window but definitely he’s not leaving in the middle of a season.

[JollyGood]

About the world cup, some players that made it in the squad are simply not good enough. Look at the form of Sterling, even since he went to Chelsea he has not performed and on that basis alone he should not be an automatic selection but based on past form for the national squad he should be in the world cup squad. There are too many players in the squad that should not have been selected by Southgate.

After the full interview will be aired, there will not be enough legal grounds to "sack" Ronaldo. If they sack him they will no longer pay him and Ronaldo will take legal action which will result in him getting all his backdated pay and on top of that in the Court he will take the stand and say a lot more than in the interview. Manchester United and the Glazer family in particular do not need that.

The best case for all will be Ronaldo gets fined by the club for the maximum penalty the PFA and Premier League rules allow (two weeks wages) and then continues to be a Manchester United player until the January 2023 transfer window, which is when either Chelsea or Bayern Munich buy him for a cut price £10 million or take him on a free transfer.

As for Martial he needs to be sold, he simply is not playing enough because of regular injuries and when he plays he is not effective. Rashford should be kept but he also is not performing at his best his form has dipped.

If Ronaldo leaves in January, they may as well bring in a new striker because Martial is prone to injury and they can't rely on Rashford for the rest of the season.

Garnacho really idolized him. It was very visible that C. Ronaldo allowed him to use the celebration when Garnacho scored a goal, talking about C. Ronaldo. There will be a possibility that C. Ronaldo will leave in the transfer window next January. Erik ten Hag has always relied on young players who create feuds with C. Ronaldo is getting hotter, coupled with C. Ronaldo's interview some time ago, making the situation at Manchester United less harmonious with this problem, I really hope that C. Ronaldo can leave Manchester United, because if he stays, then it's will slow down the development of Manchester United in the future..

Aren't you going too harsh on Haaland just because he didn't score in his last match? 

His current statistics:

- 18 goals in 13 matches in the Premier League
- 5 goals in 4 matches in the Champions League

He has scored like the half of the goals Manchester City scored in the Premier League.    They owe a lot to him already now. He is the biggest contender for even European Golden Boot prize considering his beast-like performance about scoring goals. I won't be surprised even if he breaks the goal record in one season in the Premier League also. In short, Manchester City must be more than contented with his performance until now.

It's interesting to observe whether Garnacho can gradually improve his game. These days, Manchester United would benefit greatly from the contributions of youthful talent of this kind. mostly because of how poorly they are doing in the attacking line. When Garnacho came on as a substitute, offensive football took on a new dimension. Fulham struggled to deal with him, and in the end, he scored the game-winning goal. De Gea did once again make significant saves, but Martial missed opportunities more often than Rashford.
