⚽ English Premier League Season: 2023/2024

[Quintom]

The premier League has changed and improved, now it's only bigger teams winning and winning more,it's not like before promoted teams would come and win the league for the first time such as Leicester back then, now it's the big teams dominating in all their matches..... For example,Brentford came to the league with fire, playing very well and even disturbing big teams, but now, that fire has been quenched. The premier League has changed and getting more interesting.

I knew it was going to be a difficult game, but I'm glad we got the outcome we needed.

That's all that matters, getting the results. We're in a tight corner as of recent due to the hunt for top 4 is getting tougher as the match day goes by. I don't understand why Thomas Tuchel keep playing Lukaku, is he getting pressure to play him as he cost us alot to get him to Stanford bridge. He isn't scoring in the premier league so why still playing him. We played better when Lukaku wasn't in the team and scored more goals when he became injured.

Tuchel is doing it not because he enjoys having him on the pitch, but rather to send a message to the board that sometimes you have to listen to what the coach wants rather than what the club wants. Lukaku was never Tuchel's choice of striker, but it was the club's decision to bring him back, so he's trying to give him as much game time as possible so that people won't complain when he starts warming the bench. I understand the mind game Tuchel is playing.

Hakim Ziyech has been the best players in the recent games we as a club has been playing and the goals are beginning to come in  Tuchel needs to stop benching him and give him more game time. Him having less game time might demoralized him and he won't be himself again when been given the opposite to display.

We don't have the type of player or attacker who suits Ziyech's style of play, which is why he spends so much time on the bench. Ziyech loves to cross, and we don't have a good header up front, which has been a problem for him in the past few games.

The title chase has returned, ladies and gentlemen. Chelsea could mount a last-minute attack, according to my instincts.

Norwich couldn't withstand Liverpool's squad today. Even after scoring the first goal, I was expecting them to play more defensively in order to secure the winning. But, it seems the goal triggered Liverpool, they probably scored 3 goals and took the 3 points from Norwich City. From the look of things, Liverpool still have hope of topping the League. Manchester City lost against Tottenham which reduced their points gap from Liverpool to 6. Also, City have played 26 matches so far, while Liverpool have played 25. However, If Liverpool wins more consistently, they might end up winning the Premier League trophy this season.

In 1st half, Norwich was a bit playing defensive though looking for inadvertence Liverpool to counter-attack, but they can't also improve the situation in 2nd half even though create surprise with 1st goal. In this situation, Mane used it right to make it draw. Klopp also uses an unusual formation, he usually uses 4-3-3 but for last night he used 4-4-2 whereas Luiz Diaz was a middle attacker. If Liverpool wins vs Leed it will be 3 different points left from Manchester city, it make the premier league champions is getting tougher.

Yes Tottenham played a style of football that did not let Manchester City players rest or take their time on the ball. If they could play that way week in week out they would be a dominant force in Europe.

Conte needed time to bring his style of play in to the players but the fact they lost three consecutive games before winning this one shows they are a long way off from being genuine title contenders. They have to fight for a top 4 finish against Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham United.

These are the four clubs fighting for that final Champions League spot for next season and Spur just made it all fascinating again with that win over Manchester City.

Do I think Liverpool will catch Manchester City? No but at least it means Liverpool can close gap to just 3 points if they win their game in hand against Leeds United on Wednesday 23rd February.

RESULT:

Manchester City 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur

Well that completely unexpected win for Spurs has put Liverpool back in the title race and made it exciting again at the top of the table  

Not only the defeat but the manner in which Spurs dominated in large parts will give Liverpool a lot of confidence going forward. Guardiola must be fuming at his players but the form Kane was in it would have been hard for any defence to cope with him. The two goals he scored as well as the goal that was not allowed shows Manchester City what they missed when they tried so hard but failed to buy him.

Tottenham Hotspur last night really went crazy, for some reason last night Tottenham didn't seem to have a burden to play. Moreover, Kane played so well, it was very difficult to face him even though we can't say that Manchester City's defense is bad. Manchester city even though the smallest club conceded compared to other teams but last night conceded 3 goals. I think everyone was surprised by this result.

This was always the case. The Premier League is one of the biggest and most valuable leagues in the world. Most of the teams here are shown among the best teams in the world. There are also teams that can buy a lot of good players with a lot of money.
It's one of the most enjoyable leagues to watch, I don't think it's getting interesting. Big clubs have always existed

Liverpool's victory from Norwich was actually predictable from the start because Liverpool are in quite an impressive performance so far. Liverpool managed to maximize all opportunities to collect points and currently they are only 6 points adrift of Manchester City. Liverpool are also safe in second place at the moment as they have created a good points gap with Chelsea.

The matches I'm waiting for are actually Manchester City and Tottenham which will be played in a few moments. Manchester City are expected to win this match and keep their distance from Liverpool. Since Tottenham have not been playing well lately then Manchester City's victory can be expected in this match even though Tottenham will not make it easy.

That's right, in this case because Liverpool did have the upper hand and even though they were surprised by the opening goal but it didn't really matter because they started to rage after the first goal was scored by Norwich.

For City I didn't expect this to end in defeat because I feel they are very favored by performance and playing at the Etihad, but the fact is that they had to give up points in this match thanks to a goal scored by Kane in the last minute of extra time.
Actually I like City's defeat now because with this the situation in the EPL competition is getting more exciting now even though it is still 6 points adrift but the chance for Liverpool is still there now.

[püsür]

Liverpool and Manchester City have taken football to a whole new level. We couldn't almost enjoy other games. Liverpool solved the rotation issue, I hope there will be no ego war between the players.

Jordan Henderson has become a really complicated midfielder this year. He runs like a dynamo for 90 minutes, his physique is very solid, he hardly loses, he makes very good vertical passes, he plays from behind, he also improved his shots and scored important goals. He is currently one of the top 5 players in the world in his position. I never thought I'd say this to Dig Henderson, but that's the Klopp effect.

[JollyGood]

RESULT:

Leeds United 2-4 Manchester United

4th placed Manchester United have 46 points and are 4 points behind 3rd placed Chelsea who are on 50 points. I never expected this score but it means the chase for top 3 is back on at least until Chelsea play their next game and try to take the gap back to 7 points.

Leeds are just 5 points above the relegation zone. They were 0-2 down but made it 2-2 before losing 2-4. The Leeds United players seem to be giving up on Bielsa and he just might leave at the end of the season to manage elsewhere.

Liverpool played really well in the last match and dominated the match. They did not score the opening goal but they had quite good control over the match throughout the whole 90 minutes in my opinion. They played well and deserved the win

I am actually quite surprised to see the result of the Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur match and I also think that Manchester City was quite unlucky to lose that match. I mean almost the majority of the action happened after the 90 minutes mark and into the extra time. After Riyad Mahrez scored the equalizer at 92 minutes I thought that the match was going to end in a draw but Harry Kane proved almost everyone wrong and scored the winner in the 95th minute of the match. But it was a really good game and a thrilling game to watch for the neutral parties.

If you guys want to bet on something and you want a guaranteed winning bet, just ask me what I am betting on and then bet on the opposite team, because my luck sucks about 9 out of the 10 times I bet. I definitely did not think Watford had any chance of winning Aston Villa and you guessed it.. I bet on Aston Villa for the win. 

I seriously thought Watford with a more than 80% change to be relegated, will bend the knee against Aston Villa and then they come and win them.     (Stake.com is their sponsor, so I will get some post monthly bonus for the Watford win, but it will never cover my large bet against them)

Manchester United seems to be on a slight uptrend. They now won three out of the last five games and tied two. They are now going to be waiting for Arsenal to catch up the number of games as they played three less and are four points behind. If Arsenal fails one of those games, Rangnick might be on track to qualify for the Champions League as he announced rank four as this season's goal. Which is enough in my opinion as anything else would literally have been a miracle anyway.

They are getting better and better currently, the last matches may really give a big influence on the player's mental and spiritual. They have big motivation to survive at the fourth standing and also decrease the points between Man United and Chelsea.
As long as they can play consistently, the results for the next matches may be better and better.

Leeds United 2-4 Manchester United

It was a big celebration yesterday to all Manchester United fans seen their team improve to 46 point to remain in 4 position in the premier league table. Manchester United played a professional game with Leeds team yesterday by given them 2:0 in the first half that was causing a lot of jubilations in the camps of Manchester United fans for the quick early goals Manchester United had Leeds tried to make the match draw yesterday but Manchester United coach do everything possible to make sure they give Leeds team a massive winning to let them know they are fully prepared for this tournament. The match ended 2:4 for the favour of Manchester United.

[LittleBitFunny]

It seems Manchester United are back on track. Their performance yesterday against Leeds was awesome. They had a total of 9 shots on target, and were able to secure 4 goals. Poor Leeds won't not withstand the pleasure, Although, Leeds tried their best in resisting United in the first 30 minutes of the match, and after losing in the first half, they equalize the score in the easily minutes of the second half. However, Manchester United was not ready for draw, and scored more 2 goals, and that led to their victory.

I am annoyed to see the irregular performance of Manchester United. Although the Leeds failed to score, they held on to 54 per cent of the ball, and made many good attacks. But I was surprised to see Harry Maguire score the first goal. He is considered to be United's weakest defender. However, we do not see any better performance than Ronaldo. He has not been in good form for a long time. He has not been able to adapt well to the Manchester United squad.

Obviously Rangnick was good choice for Manchester United remaining season and after taking sometime now his strategy working now they have 19 points from last 10 games and most chances they will keep this fourth place with going to into Champions League for next season.

Even many still believe there are many internal issues, but now good thing players are doing positively which is giving good confidence in team players now they are going to face Atlético Madrid in Champions League knock out stage even it's very crucial match but with current form and quality most chances they will qualify for next round which could be great for management and players because most chances this win can bring some very good impact on them for remaining season.

It is not that many believe,,, it is the truth as reported by so many news outlets as told by so many "senior players". These reporters will not have the news to publish if the big-name players did not speak up,,, and Rangnick himself has admitted by acknowledging these comments by the media.

Rangnick is the right guy for almost any big club in EPL to win,,, but does United really want to follow his style and adopt it as their identity?

No, I don't think so. Manchester United will most likely look for another coach at the end of the season or after Rangnick's contract with the team expires. Manchester United has a bigger desire than just winning a few match to qualify for the Champions League and that's about winning titles.

I think Manchester United should be able to get a coach who is ready to give them the title at the end of the season, not a coach who can only give him hope about strategy and winning match. Manchester United have not won a title for a long time and that is a target they should aim for with their new coach in the future.

I'm sorry about your loss. if we have an initial estimate Aston Villa got the win with easy because playing at home and have a solid squad than Watford, all bet also leaning towards to Aston villa. but all not our expected, we don't know Where did they get that spirit from?, after lost versus Norwich and Burnley, they got a new motivation to rise. Unfortunately, Aston Villa became the victim and with this performance, possible Crystal palace will be the next. So, I will ask you, next who the winning Watford vs Crystal Palace?

[JollyGood]

Here are the next set of games taking place on Wednesday 23rd February 2022:

Burnley vs Tottenham Hotspur   

Watford vs Crystal Palace   

Liverpool vs Leeds United


Here is the Premier League able as it currently stands:




Burnley stunned Brighton with a 0-3 victory to boost their chances of staying up but they face Tottenham who could go joint 5th if they win the game.

Watford can put all the pressure back on to Newcastle and Everton if they manage to get 3 points against Crystal Palace who have won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 Premier League games.

Liverpool need a win to keep pressure on Manchester City but Leeds are getting close to the relegation zone and would be happy with a point a draw would give them.

[tokeweed]

^  Leeds would def be easy pickings for Liverpool imho.  I could see them score at least three goals.  If there’s a draw in their next 4 matches, it could be vs West Ham imho.

^  As I said before, there’s still a lot of fooball left to play.  There’s still a chance City gets into somewhat of a lull which would def give Liverpool the opportunity to catch up.  It’s still only Feb and Liverpool has two games less played than City.  Def they have a chance.  I’d start thinking it’s over around April or mid April.  Klopp can’t just give up now.  I mean imagine if he had the same attitude.  That would suck.

Even if Liverpool wins both outstanding games, they will still be 6 points behind Manchester City, and if you think PEP would risk a 6-point advantage in February, you are mistaken; some clubs can bottle a 6 point league in February, not City, they are Europe's most consistent team. They hardly ever drop points.

Liverpool just down by three points now assuming they win the postponed fixture.    City plays Everton away next so that’s good but then they play vs United next after that which could slow down their momentum.  If you’re a Liverpool fan it would’ve been nice to play them right away.  Kinda something like striking while the iron is hot.  Lol.  But yeah..  It looks like it’s going to be a close one.
