Manchester United under Carrick keep surprising us. They looked really good yesterday and controlled the tempo of the game well. Unai Emery’s tactics couldn’t save Villa from a 3-1 defeat. At this rate, Villa might not be playing champions league football next season.

Aston Villa are getting weaker and weaker. They were aggressive from the beginning of the league and were one of the contenders for the title, but they are going down the table. Manchester United has reached the third position in the table with consistent performance. I did not make any predictions about the result of the match because it was a very important match for both teams and it is very difficult to predict which team will win. Although Aston Villa was ahead in this statistics, Man United has continued to perform well recently and they played well and won.

I agree with you that they are getting weaker because we know what they are capable of doing and they are always doing the best they can and they have done a lot of amazing things things like have a unbeaten record and they were actually one of the best teams to be on the top three but at some point it is clear that they can not keep up with everything that have been happening now and it has even become more difficult to predict a match now and even in the case of Aston Villa it was not expected for them them to have lost that game but since they did am not even sure of what they are becoming because the Aston Villa we know are better than this.

If you've checked before the game, most bet site gave Aston villa higher odds, making it clear that they were the underdogs to a point, so with that I was confident to an extent that Manchester united will triumph.As for Aston Villa's inconsistent lately, this is how most teams behaves, they start on a consistent basis from the beginning of the league and then they begin to drop form as a league draws to an end.

Another draw for Liverpool, this time against a weak Tottenham, who will probably be fighting for survival again this season. So Liverpool remain in fifth place and failed to take advantage of the fact that Aston Villa lost their match. I think Slot already understands that with this kind of performance he will definitely leave the team. And it seems to me it’s not good to keep him in the team, because with such a mindset the results definitely won’t improve. Liverpool still have a very important Champions League match against Galatasaray, if Liverpool lose this game, I think he will be sacked immediately.

I think you are getting it all wrong and I will tell you that even if galatasaray eventually knock out Liverpool in the champions league Arne Slot will still be the coach till the end of season and even probably next season too. We have seen the share holder of Liverpool said several times this season that Slot they still believe in him and that he his assured that his work is safe. We all know Liverpool has played beyon expectations this season and by now he should have been sacked already but the owners still want him at the club.

It champions league week already and with that performance against Tottenham I think Liverpool will struggle to get a convincing win against Galatasaray, they played poorly and couldn’t even convert the chances they created. Well it just a couple of days now so we just have to wait to see what happens At Anfield.

Y'all say clubs are getting weaker, why not other clubs are getting stronger 
Because it is quite clear that Manchester United is whey much better than before now, since they changed coach. And Aston Villa was an easy win for them.
Apart from that even small clubs are getting stronger as well, take a look at wolves fir instance, look how good that have started performing. Stuffs like this happen when the league is rounding up some clubs just get good all of a sudden, and those small clubs that get better will just be a hindrance to clubs after trophies 
Or club trying to survive the champions league qualifiers.

Liverpool won’t be achieving anything this season, it’s surprising that a team that won the last premier league title is now performing so poor this season. I don’t know why Liverpool are still keeping slots because his performance has been so terrible this season, and I was expecting a better performance from him this season, but right now he is losing matches which he is suppose to win. Liverpool played draw against Tottenham today again, a team thats struggling at the bottom of the table. Maybe when Liverpool performance gets worst, they going to consider sacking slot.

Sacking Slot? I doubt that for now. He just won them the premier league trophy last season, maybe they’ll give him some benefits of doubts until he gets things together and continue to perform as wanted from him. I don’t see them less of a team even with this defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. They are a team in almost at the bottom of the table, so it should have been easier for them to prevail. Sometimes, teams in the bottom of the table tends to perform stronger and better than teams at the top of the table when they meet. So it may not be too much of a surprising to happen between these two teams.

Initially, I thought it was a bad idea for Manchester United to sack Ruben Amorim but now looking at what this team has achieved in this short period under Carrick, I’d say United owners made the right decision. Now it’s up to them to either keep Carrick as a permanent manager or find a manager who can keep them at the top.

I too initially thought Man united's board would have probably allowed him to finish the season and I would admit, I was so optimistic when Amorim was brought in as manager of the club as I eagerly waited and hoped for positive changes in their performance but I was disappointed. Man united was having quite a bad run this season. That was until Amorim was let go and Carrick was then made interim manager till the end of the season.
As soon as Carrick took up the position, Man united woke up. They're playing much better football and are seemingly in sync with each other. I think Carrick is being assessed and I hope he's formally made manager.

I think Manchester United actually learned from the experience with Eric Ten Hag where they actually were too reluctant to get him sacked because they thought it would be too soon until he had actually gone a whole season full and still got another contract extension, yes I can say that Ten Hag actually did deserves his own show of support but Amorim in spite of anything he was building doesn’t looks like who deserved those extra time because they club in all areas seems to be degrading and we all know how the board can be ironic sometimes so they definitely took the hardest decisions which I think Amorim himself wanted all this long as he was the one who actually triggered it with his press conference then

Things are not looking very bright for Arne Slot and his team. After losing to Wolves, the worst club in the league, in the previous round, they now failed to win against Tottenham, who are going through a period of probably the worst performance in years (they were on 5 league losses in a row). Seriously, if they can't beat Tottenham at home, who can they beat?

I think Arne Slot may slowly start to worry about his position. He got all the expensive transfers he asked for, but the results do not follow. Finishing outside of the top 4 would be a disaster.

Meanwhile in Manchester, Michael Carrick keeps doing his wonders, his Man United earned another high-profile win as they defeated Aston Villa 3-1. And it wasn't some accidental win, United were clearly a stronger team. They established themselves in 3rd place and now have 3 points advantage over 4th Aston Villa. The first two places are beyond their reach, but if they ended up in the top 3, I think we could all call it a big success.

[Abbatty]

What a comeback from wolves and after this performance against brentford away from got me thinking that if they had probably started the league in this fashion they would have had a very high chance in remaining in the premier league next season, they were 2 goals down and that had to comeback and get a point from this game, what a game and what a performance from wolves also.

It been a crazy week of premier league games, to some it was a very profitable week and to some they will just probably wait till next week to try and recover from this week loss. Well as for me it been a 50/50 week, I made a very reasonable profit from on Saturday and loss some of them on Sunday so it was not a really bad week.

Some big names will be having a champions league on Tuesday and Wednesday and as a premier league football fan I really hope to see some premier league team advance to the next round of the champions league.

It seems that for now for the EPL club, they should not relax their attack until the end when facing Wolves because this is their 5th match to score in the 90th minute and extra time in their last 6 matches.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and today Brentford were their victims.

They seem to know that it is quite difficult for them to fight until the end because the possibility of relegation is very high so they just play carefree regardless of the final result but it is effective to get points.

In this match Brentford was even very comfortable for 3 points but once again Wolves had a very good reaction and attack pattern in the minutes before the game ended.

There next League match is against Brighton and away, it's a match they should win but not easily cause Brighton would be more difficult to play at their home compared to playing them at Anfield. Failing to reach the 4th position when he has the opportunities would seriously cause him to worry, I think he might not retain his job if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. You call it wonders but I think it's a miracle cause I didn't expect such quick fix. It's no more boring watching Manchester United and I'm really impressed as a fan. Carrick has given me so much joy and I feel he should be retained if Manchester United qualifies for the Champions League next season.

[harapan]

It is still unbelievable that Liverpool couldn't beat Tottenham. Even though their opponent lacked so many players due to injuries they couldn't win the game. 

I mean I know Slot preferred to rotate some players in the lineup. But they were still way stronger technically. Playing this ineffective in the attacking line is disappointing.

If they continue like this Szoboszlai might turn out to be right about their qualifying for the Conference League by the end of the season...

Thought these players were absent as a result of the managers decision. I didn't see injuries as the reason why they were absent for the game but good one point to earna place above relegation.

They couldn't get a win against Tottenham, I am afraid they will get to lose or draw against Galatasaray, I do not see Liverpool advancing forward.  They are overworking Szobozslai, he is the most consistent player they have right now in that team, next season they will do worse if Slot stays

Yes, Aston Villa were aggressive from the beginning of the league and they were seen as title contenders at some point last year, but this year Aston Villa's performance have deteriorate and they might finish below top four if they do not get their form back. I am happy with Manchester United occupying the 3rd place and i will be more happy if they make it to the champions league. I knew Manchester United would win Aston Villa and i wanted to bet on Manchester United and Aston Villa game along but i didn't bet on the game because i exhausted my gambling allocation for last week on Saturday.

I can't understand Liverpool's way of finishing games. They consistently fail to secure wins when they're within reach, and that was repeated against Tottenham, who ultimately ended up drawing. Even more bizarrely, Liverpool consistently lose focus in the final minutes of matches, allowing their opponents to score. I wonder why Liverpool haven't learned from their previous matches, where Liverpool consistently gave their opponents space in the final minutes to score and ultimately failed to secure a win.

[Volgastallion]

I dont really know what Slot is doing with this team, but for sure he is not doing well this season plus he cant find the team and he cant even find a proper selection of players on offensive and in the defensive side, but that is not the only thing i feel like the relation with the players is broke, for me he has to go after the end of the season.

[Qhunman]

I agree with you that they are getting weaker because we know what they are capable of doing and they are always doing the best they can and they have done a lot of amazing things things like have a unbeaten record and they were actually one of the best teams to be on the top three but at some point it is clear that they can not keep up with everything that have been happening now and it has even become more difficult to predict a match now and even in the case of Aston Villa it was not expected for them them to have lost that game but since they did am not even sure of what they are becoming because the Aston Villa we know are better than this.

Aston were very well informed and competitive to an extent I trusted them to a strong rival to arsenal but to my very surprise, aston villa form has become weaker. They aren't in good form and I can't trust them. Just yesterday, they concede three goals against manchester united at old trafford and their performance wasn't impressive. Aston villa form won't allow them Keep up in the premier league, they couldn't Keep a winning streak as they have done before making it difficult to trust their games.

[Italian Panic]

The Premier League this year is truly incredible it seems tailored for Arsenal. Liverpool have fallen apart, Manchester City have hit a rough patch they keep conceding goals and aren’t scoring enough. Chelsea, as has often been the case in recent years, can’t seem to find any consistency.
In my opinion, if Manchester United had had Carrick from the start of the season they would be right up there with Arsenal.

Now it’s up to them to either keep Carrick as a permanent manager or find a manager who can keep them at the top.

I never really doubted Michael Carrick when he was appointed as the interim manager, he did well when he had the same position at Manchester United,  but he was later relieved of his duty. So when he came in this time again I expected the team to do better, because I think he understands Manchester United tradition better and the players also like him, although he has surpassed what I expect from him, especially now that Manchester United is sitting comfortably in 3rd position and some big matches he has won along the way. In my opinion it will be very disappointing if the Manchester United board did not give him the job, because I think  he deserves it.

[Nightwatchmare]

I think a lot of people are beginning to believe that Arsenal will win the EPL this season after the results of the weekend

Manchester City dropping points to West was absolutely beautiful.  As far as I’m concerned, the only thing Arsenal fans need to be worried about is what to wear for the parade because they have already won the league. What a season!

The change that occured in the performance of the players in their matches when he was appointed interim manager is so crazy, it's almost mind blowing. They had a turnaround and so far, they haven't had a bad run. Sure, they've drawn and lost games under his leadership but compared to the previous leadership, the change in performance is obviously noticable as like I've probably mentioned about a million times how i never thought Man united would be able to reach the 3rd spot on the table.
The game against Aston villa was crucial as that game would determine who would take the 3rd spot on the table and fortunately for Man united, they came out on top with a nice home win and an added 3 points

Now it’s up to them to either keep Carrick as a permanent manager or find a manager who can keep them at the top.

Even though Ruben Amorim was not doing very well at Manchester United, i was pained when i had the news that Manchester United owners have sacked Ruben Amorim. I thought Michael Carrick would not handle the pressure at Manchester United but after he guided Manchester United to the 3rd place in the league standings, Manchester United board took the right decision in relieving Ruben Amorim of his duty late last year. Since Michael Carrick has proven himself at Manchester United, the owners of Manchester United should keep him as a permanent manager without even thinking twice.

[Just Say]

Aston Villa are getting weaker and weaker. They were aggressive from the beginning of the league and were one of the contenders for the title, but they are going down the table. Manchester United has reached the third position in the table with consistent performance. I did not make any predictions about the result of the match because it was a very important match for both teams and it is very difficult to predict which team will win. Although Aston Villa was ahead in this statistics, Man United has continued to perform well recently and they played well and won.

Aston Villa is getting weaker and weaker, it is just as true that I think it is also true that this group is being displaced because The team dropped to fourth place after the 30th round of play. We enjoyed the face-to-face clash between Manchester United and this team in the last game, but Man United showed the highest level of skill there, In fact they may have been quiet at halftime against Aston Villa in that round but after the break, their aggressive shell is exposed because if you pay attention, Casemiro scored in the 53rd minute to give this team a deserved lead and later, Cunha scored in the 71st minute and Sesko in the 81st minute, contributing to the team's comfortable victory over Villa team.
