⚽ English Premier League Season: 2023/2024

[püsür]

Arsenal played like a champion team again. This season, they are putting incredible pressure on the opponent, especially in the matches they played in the Emirates. After falling behind in this match, they never dropped from the game and the pressure was increasing every minute. Left and right attacks, never-ending passes, the support of the fullbacks to the attack never ended. Especially Ben White has outdone himself, although he is not a right-back origin, his performance is very good. Partey dominated the midfield, xhaka wasn't too bad either. Odegaard was the brainchild of the team. Saka paralyzed the opponent's left flank. Martinelli was good despite being ineffective compared to previous matches. Nketiah'a need to open a separate parenthesis. We can say that he did not call Jesus. His ability to go deep and catch the ball, to be constantly present in the pass connection, to tire the opponent, to keep the ball is very good. In addition to these, what we call the first touch is not bad for this kid. The name that crossed my heart in the absence of Jesus was Ollie Watkins, although it is difficult, but after this game by Inketiah, Arteta probably said "no need". Still, Arsenal is weak in terms of squad depth. Definitely need to make 1-2 supplements. As of the first matches, we were wondering about the championship, but this game is sign of a team that seriously plays for the championship.

It was a very efficient match for Liverpool. I'm saying this by ruling out Nunez of course. 

Because his performance was again quite poor as it was the same against Manchester City in the EFL Cup as well. He wasted two big goal opportunities today. I'm pretty sure that Klopp wouldn't have chosen him to the starting eleven if Firmino wasn't injured. Firmino is expected to return in early January but let's see. I hope he comes back as quick as possible. He has been much better than Nunez so far. It looks like Nunez still needs time to collect himself. He isn't even close to his performance at Benfica.

maybe with Cody Gakpo officially moving to Liverpool, they will play even better of course even though I'm not a Liverpool supporter but I think the win against Aston Villa last night was good enough to secure points, at least Liverpool didn't lose points and even though Firmino is still injured, I think Liverpool's game not bad 

It is really interesting news to me. Because Gakpo was called with Manchester United for a long time. They were in talks with PSV to sign him as well and Gakpo was already willing to join Manchester United. Recently I saw that PSV were expecting to see a bigger offer than 50-60 million euros from them.

However I have learned that Liverpool have signed him for an amount like 40-50 million euros in total. This is a really cheap deal for them that's for certain. Gakpo is a quite skilled left winger. However there will be a really nice competition between him and Diaz for the starting eleven.

Newcastle won easily, I guessed right. Then Brentfrod series, yes that's not surprising. They can always make a surprise against a big team. Tottenham had to struggle to chase a 2-0 defeat. Brentford are very effective on the counterattack and have a good finisher. It makes them look more effective. If counted from possession, Brentford lost but they were very effective. Tottenham are strong in possession and attack through the wing. It's a pity that they are weak in settlement.

Results from the games yesterday:

Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth
Manchester United 3-0 Nottingham Forest

Both Chelsea and Manchester United managed to win their home games yesterday and will keep up the chase for Champions League places.

The game taking place this evening:

Leeds United vs Manchester City

If Manchester City they will have played the same number of games as first placed Arsenal but they will be 5 points behind. Even with that margin I would expect Manchester City to win the Premier League at the end of the season because I am still expecting Arsenal to fade away as their squad does not have enough depth.

I don't think anyone expected anything less, this is just the first game after the break so most top side are expected to win their games. Yesterday game doesn't determine the fate of the clubs for the rest of the season. They might have been good yesterday but might play badly for the rest of the season. Chelsea didn't impressive me much as they're still missing lots of clear chances that they should've scored and sealed the game on time.

Reece James fitness is also a doubt as he was substituted after having a minor injury, his presence on the field made the squad look promising and immediately he was taken off the momentum changed in favor of Bournemouth. Manchester united on the other hand played very well without Ronaldo leading the line which means he was never needed and the team would be better without him (let see where they end up this season).

Congratulations to Chelsea and Manchester United on their victories yesterday! It was great to see both teams put in such a strong performance and continue to fight for Champions League places. Respect to Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest for their efforts, despite the results not going their way.

For Manchester City, let's see if they can emulate Chelsea and Manchester United by defeating Leeds United. I can't wait for the match between the two teams.

Yes, because he spent most of his career at PSV as a winger, and it's easy to imagine the threat he could pose if he played on the left side of Liverpool, especially in the short term while Diaz is recovering from a knee injury. Gakpo will contribute to Liverpool in the next match

At this point, it's becoming a problem that a whole team relies on an RB; we play well when he's on the field, but when he's off, we're shit. We had a great first half, but the second half was a little sloppy, which has been our problem this season; we barely dominate both halves.

It's time to find a replacement for James. He has a history of injuries and is not the type of player who can play all season or more than 30 games per season. Unfortunately, the scan he had today revealed that he would be out for at least 2-3 months, which would be an out-of-season injury.  i feel sorry for him but kneel injury is career ending injury, we have to move ahead now.

What do you guys think about our new guy David FOFANA ?

For Manchester City, let's see if they can emulate Chelsea and Manchester United by defeating Leeds United. I can't wait for the match between the two teams.

And they did just that as the game ended with Manchester city winning 3:1 with Haaland netting twice. I think it's now fair to say Haaland has turned the premier league to a farmers league. Already his coach (Pep Guardiola) was doing that with Manchester city, winning four premier league titles in 5 years and now Haaland has come to make that five trophies in six years. Haaland has 18 goals in 15 games (premier league gams only) and things weren't this bad at Dortmund that English football pundits call farmers league.

What do you guys think about our new guy David FOFANA ?

I haven't watched him play before but from what I see online regarding his stats and from the fact that he's an African, I expect him to do very well as they (Africans) do have a good record of doing very well at Chelsea, I have no doubt that he'll perform beyond expectation. One thing about players been signed to Chelsea is when they're overpriced they flop but those bought with a decent amount and much aren't expected of them, they excel.

In some cases, it is not about the league but about the type of playmakers you have in the team; at Dortmund, he wasn't getting as much help as he is now at Manchester City, so it isn't really about the league; Halaand is a natural scorer who can score enough goals in any league as long as he gets a good ball. At Dortmund, he had Sacho and Bellingham as playmakers, whereas at City, he has world-class playmakers, so the difference is stark. A good goal scorer does not need 1-2 seasons to adjust to a new league; they learn quickly.

He has better stats than Halaand, who also played at Molde, so that gives me some hope, but no matter how good he is, he will struggle in a system without a good playmaker at Chelsea.

RESULT from 28th December 2022:

Leeds United 1-3 Manchester City

This result was mistakenly not updated. Manchester City move back up to second place in the Premier League table. Haaland has reached 20 Premier League goals after just 14 games and in the process becoming the player to reach that milestone the fastest. The previous record was held by Kevin Phillips who scored 20 goals in 21 games.

The results from the games played yesterday:

West Ham United 0-2 Brentford
Liverpool 2-1 Leicester City


These are the games taking place today:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester United
Bournemouth vs Crystal Palace
Fulham vs Southampton
Manchester City vs Everton
Newcastle United vs Leeds United
Brighton and Hove Albion vs Arsenal

Manchester City and Newcastle United should have relatively easy wins but I think Brighton have the potential to cause an upset by beating Arsenal.

Liverpool - Leicester can be the funniest match I have seen recently. 

First of all, Leicester's goal was really impressive. It was a well-prepared counter-attack and that run to the empty area also helped Dewsbury-Hall be one-on-one with the goalkeeper easily. Wout Faes must have played his worst match in his career certainly. Both of these goals were really impressive despite being own goals. He didn't even need to touch the ball in the first one. He didn't check his perimeter well and this cost them big. The second one was also unbelievable. He just did the hardest thing he could have done there.

Salah wasted some important chances. Nunez was also no different but he was really zealous to score at least one goal with his runs and tries to push Leicester defenders to make mistakes.

the Wolverhampton vs Manchester United game is almost 30 minutes no goal yet, and I shake first half win for man utd. I just hope they press more on the attack and give me a win . That's my concern now.
Arsenal might lose their second game of the season today. Brighton are very Difficult to beat. Arsenal will struggle in this game.
The  Newcastle vs Leeds United game will end in a draw, while man city will deal with Everton. These are the games am interested in today

yeah that really made me laugh because i didn't lose my money watching leicester score a quick goal against liverpool and the funny thing is again the same guy killed himself in no time to turn things around to a 2-1 win for liverpool, i almost did lose money because of this game which is really entertaining

The game may likely end in draw. I don't really like the way United are playing, the could have been ahead in the first half. They missed two clear chances, the one by Gernancho really pained me. I hope they can turn things around in the second half.

[Slow death]

Bournemouth - Crystal Palace

this is a game between two very unstable teams, but in my opinion Crystal Palace is a little better than Bournemouth. well Bournemouth comes into this game with 4 defeats and 1 win in the last 5 games, and since in their last game they lost against chelsea, meanwhile their opponent Crystal Palace comes into this game with 2 wins and 3 losses, since in their last game they lost, I will not bet on this game

Fulham - Southampton

well, this is a very important game for Southampton who are in the relegation zone and are also the team that is in the last place in the table, so they need to win in today's game, since they will be playing against an opponent in that they might have some chance of winning. Southampton comes into this game with a sequence of 4 consecutive defeats, so a victory here would be something that would boost the team's morale, while their opponent Fulham comes into this game with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw in the last 5 games, and in their last game they won. so they come to this game very motivated to leave with the 3 points

Manchester City - Everton

 

I can't stop laughing watching this game, it looks like a fight between a bear against a mouse, I know that in soccer anything can happen anyway. City comes into this game recovered from a defeat that made them lose points, after they beat Leeds in their last game they come into this game with a lot of confidence and without a doubt they went on the attack to resolve the game early, City will playing with the same players from the game against leeds, meanwhile Everton comes into this game with a streak of 3 consecutive defeats, I don't see them recovering from these consecutive defeats in this game

the draw experienced by manchester city and newcastle made them have to be satisfied with 1 point and gave Arsenal a considerable distance at the top of the standings because of their win against Brighton, I saw in the newscastle match that it was a little frustrating for the newcastle players at the end of the match almost all the players fought each other mouth, I think arsenal can breathe a sigh of relief to keep their distance from the two clubs below who continue to overshadow them

[CLS63]

Arsenal are really doing an amazing job and the gap with Manchester City is even bigger now. I was shocked to see Manchester City drawing with Everton. It looked like Everton were too lucky as they were able to score despite having only 2 goal attempts. They somehow kept the 1-1 tie until the final whistle. Arsenal's big win like 4-2 must have been unexpected for many people as well. Nketiah has started to score and he is a big help in the absence of Jesus.

Tottenham were a disappointment today by the way. I didn't like Perisic's performance as he couldn't take advantage of two important goal chances properly. Emery's Aston Villa deserved this win by two nice goals. McGinn's assist in the second one was lovely.
