Two back to back defeats has bought Man City to second position on points table and they need to work hard in next games to stay in the contest because in EPL its difficult to make a come back if you lose too many games. Still lot of football to be played in this season and this time Brighton is also looking to threat Arsenal and City for the title. Arsenal win over Liverpool will boost team moral, their next game is against Hull City which is also in good form and can surprise Arsenal. 

Manchester city doesn't have two back to back defeat, they won Brighton in the Caraboa cup maybe you didn't watch the game to the end but Brighton defeated them in the premier league last week and honestly it appears Brighton has seen Manchester city weak point because they almost win them in Caraboa cup too. They are currently at the 2 position in the premier league with 3 points behind Arsenal but  the 3 points it's like nothing if Manchester city mean business, haven't you seen where Arsenal was almost 12 points ahead of Manchester city but Manchester city won the league that season though they actually need to be serious.

But I hope they will start winning again from the next match, it was really surprising that Manchester City will have to struggle so much in this match and after struggling so much that they will not be able to do one thing, but it is not a matter of every team performing the same in every match, one or two unexpected results are normal, but since they are already three points behind Arsenal, they have to be careful now, Manchester City will face Arsenal after next two matches of the Premier League, I think Manchester City will win the next two matches easily, because the opponents in these two matches are much weaker than Manchester City, but after that they must win against Arsenal on Matchday 12, because Arsenal's opponents in the next two matches are also weak, because of which both teams will win the next two matches, but when they face each other, if Arsenal beats Manchester City, the difference between them will be 6 points, and then it could be a problem for Manchester City. Anyway, let's see what happens in that match, but Manchester City will definitely have to be more careful now.

It is funny how some of us are seeing this premier league, premier league is not longer the way it used to be back then where a team like Manchester city would keep unbeaten record for almost one complete season. Of course those teams that seem like underdog teams back then has improved a lot, of which Brighton is one of this teams that made a lot of improvement over the years. And it was as though this season is one of the best season for them because they have been doing very well in almost all their matches both inside and outside premier league. So with the way they have performed I wasn't surprised to see them wining Manchester city.

True but the same time a lot of clubs have changed and they have worked with time to improve but what have Manchester United done, nothing so as the case maybe they need to change strategy and that is the only way things can be better and that period of manchester United having an unbeaten record have passed and for them to get that back they will have to work on how they can improve and about doing very well that was then because the manchester United we know is not the one we are seen now because they can even handle small teams and their fans have gone quite because they know that their club have been underperforming they can not even defend them anymore.

Arsenal is a strong team in defense and midfield. Liverpool was really unlucky in that match. They had a lot of chances but failed to score. Even though they haven't scored much, Arsenal is currently the team that has conceded the least. Arsenal has only scored 14 goals in 9 matches, but Man City has already scored 20 goals. Surprisingly, Brighton has already scored 24 goals in 9 matches.

In this match, Arsenal attacked comparatively little, but every single one of their attack was well planned. After securing lead in just 16th minute, they focused more on strengthening their defense. Even after that, taking advantage of liverpool's defensive weaknesses, they managed to made several dangerous attacks. However , Liverpool's players also created several  powerful attacks. When any team like Arsenal focuses heavily on tightening their defense, it becomes extremely difficult for any team to break through. Despite their best effort, home team failed to score any goal. Even so, it is visible that Liverpool's performance is gradually becoming more  organized. But still  the team is quite weak in finishing. Isak and Barcola, who are at center of attacking line, missed plenty of opportunities.

Manchester United coach may not be the problem and sacking their coach now wont help Manchester United current conditions in the premier league, what Chelsea did with Manchester United this weekend is what man United did to them in the last premier League season, but this time Chelsea is fit on their team, and winning with 2 goals making them to seal their successful recovery performance against a top club like Manchester United, even though their own performance have been below average and we know.

I think they played fairly well in the first half and that was a result of a good coaching by Michael carrick but going into the second half, I think the players let him down honestly. The players don’t respect him enough and he’s performances has been so bad that’s it’s affecting his authority in the locker room. Let’s not forget the sabotager Lisandro Martinez, that was useless yesterday, your team just conceded Instead of you to find a way to calm things down and try to keep the game going, you decided to do such a dangerous tackle in the box, such a poor mentality and judge of atmosphere. Carrick couldn’t even look him in the eye after he was sent off, it was disgusting to watch!

I'm not Manchester United fan, Frankly speaking i was so disappointed with those players. After the match i went and rewatched it back, those players are useless like i don't know how to describe them, is as if Carrick isn't doing his job well just imagine those chances at the second half which they missed used. Then second half they allowed Chelsea to mount pressure on them and Martinez worst the whole thing by getting a red card, fofana isn't a treat in that place he went and elbowed him knowing fully well that he already have a yellow card offence that's so stupid of him. Manchester United fans where all lamenting Carrick should be sack but it's seems they don't watch that match and see where those players made errors, it's seems they've all team together to get Carrick sack yeah, i  think that's their plan right now but if that's what they want Carrick won't be sack except the management didn't notice what they did on that match,  because this was the same coach that qualify them for champions league last season.

This was why I was so confidence that Arsenal can survive it because of their defense line, immediately they scored I was having hope for them because they are very good and currently they have a better performance than Liverpool. This match is very important for Arsenal and also for Liverpool because among them  any team that win will take over from the team at the top, arsenal won the match and now they are ahead of Manchester City, the season is still long but if Arsenal can be able to stand firmly they can still win the Premier League again. I don't see any team that have Arsenal strength now except Manchester City and now they are also declining.

It was in this Arsenal match against Liverpool that I confirmed that Arsenal has he best defenders in the world because I can't even count how many times their defenders stopped the ball from getting to David Raya. Before Liverpool played the whole match without a short on target should tell us that Arsenal was really determined to frustrate every attempt made by Liverpool strikers. I think Arsenal and Manchester City will continue to be at the top till one of them will give it up for the other. The reason why I can't say that Arsenal will win the title is because they have many matches to play which will interrupt the fitness of players.

The premier league match week 9 just wrapped up with Newcastle against Everton, what a game of football it was. The intensity in that game was just top. Newcastle suffers their 5th defeat in their last 7th game and a back to back loss at home in the premier league. It was all boos when the final whistle was blown at St. jame park, the fans are really getting tired of these bad results this season. Barry got the winner for Everton, even Though he Missed another big change today again, that making it 14th in the League so far, highest of any player in the premier league so far this season.

Not the best weekend for either of the two Manchester's clubs.
Man City got defeated 1-0 by Brighton in front of their own fans. I guess Brighton are indeed really strong this season and Man City's struggle against them in the EFL cup a few days earlier was not a coincidence (the City got through on penalties).

Man United received another round of beating. This time they lost 2-0 to Chelsea, which is not unexpected. The club owners are yet to make the final decision on Carrick’s future. The local media are reporting he will remain in charge until November transfer break.
United earned only 7 points in 9 league games and are staying outside the relegation zone only because of better goal difference than Crystal Palace.

Arsenal team has performed well, and Arsenal team has won only based on the defense department. But Liverpool team has missed many goals, they had many mistakes in this match because of which they could not win. No one should be blamed for their own mistakes, if Liverpool team makes more corrections in the attack department, they will be ready to perform well, moreover, it is not possible for strong teams to win against Liverpool team.
Manchester City team is not able to maintain their dominance, strong teams are getting weaker this season, so it may be difficult for them to survive until the end of the season unless their team is corrected.

One thing we have to understand is that premier league has lost some of the best coaches in just a few years. For instance, Liverpool Jugern Kloop and Manchester city Pep Guardiola. These two coaches can play the whole season and losing only 2 matches. How many coaches can play 100 points in the league again? Imagine that Kloop ended a season with 97 points but did not win the league.

I can say that competition has also dropped and those big teams are no longer over feared. One other thing is that when you enter a losing streak, it could continue for a long time. Just like Manchester United is caught under that web currently.

In this match it was really intense both teams wanted to win the match but Everton clearly wanted it more and got some big points. Barry scored an important goal for Everton and now Everton is finally in the upper part of the table. While Newcastle had a really good chance at home to try and go up and they didnt take it so i think still it will be a really hard season for them and the fans know it.

Seriously both teams haven’t been convincing to me throughout the entire season so far, they have had a whole lots of mixed results and coming to this game I was sure it was actually for any of them who wanted it more plus it will be a game dried of goals because both teams have struggled in front of goals. While Everton might have their own excuses of why they have been struggling to score which is they only have one senior striker throughout the entire season so far which is Tierno Barry who isn’t even clinical and that’s why he has missed most chances in the season, I think Newcastle have no excuses at all.

They have the likes of Wissa and Osula even after they had released Woltemade to Juventus but still they struggle with goals plus they have the likes of Harvey Barnes and even Elanga who all are good wingers they have struggled still for goals which to me should be worrying for them

Arsenal's early goal against Liverpool secured their victory. After conceding a goal against Arsenal, Liverpool were seen playing a lot of sloppy football for a few minutes, but after the second half, they played quite an attacking football. After the second half, Liverpool created several chances against Arsenal, but they failed to take advantage of those opportunities. Arsenal's defense has to be praised, the midfielders can play the role of defenders for the team when needed, as we saw in the last match. Anyway, securing the top position of the points table by leaving Manchester City behind is a great moment for Arsenal and they will definitely try to maintain this top position until the end of the season and win the Premier League title.

It is not easy for Arsenal to be at the top again; I never thought Manchester City would be leaving the top by this time. It was a great surprise to me, and I never thought Arsenal would be able to defeat Liverpool in their home. What happened to Manchester City and the victory of Arsenal against a team like Liverpool has led me to conclude that this season can also be a great one for them. From the way Arsenal are playing their games, they seem to be the most defensive team in the Premier League this season.

However, the competition has intensified, Manchester City was expected to lose against Brighton, but they lost points in that important match, while Arsenal won full points against Liverpool, basically Arsenal is at the top of the points table on these two points. I do not see the same confidence in the team this season as there was in other seasons about Manchester City's performance. I miss several important players in Manchester City who were in the club before and who used to perform great for Manchester City in the club before.
This season, you see how beautifully they have formed the team and they have selected the best players from defense to midfield to attack. In this case, it will not be surprising if the Premier League title goes to Arsenal.

So with the way they have performed I wasn't surprised to see them wining Manchester city.

This happened because a lot of foreign investors are putting big money on teams that we regularly call underdogs. Football is now a sport that is worth investing in. Many billionaires across the world don't mind lumping huge cash into the underdogs to make them stronger.

Honestly, I don't know how Brighton always improve every season, meanwhile they sell almost all their players during transfer windows. I can't keep count of how many Brighton players have left the club, but the new players are always doing well.

Anybody that watched the game between Manchester United and Chelsea would know that Carrick is not their main problem. The players did very well in the first half to attack and create chances, even though they were unable to convert them into goals. But I saw the winning team inside of them, the red card ruined the game and we knew how terrible they become with a red card, and after the penalty Chelsea was unable to get another goal.

The players are not ready to play for this club, at the same time Manchester United will be the responsibility for everything. We saw how the players were doing last season, converting their chances into goals, even though they struggled to get a clean sheet. Man United will only get better once they get more players who are hungry to play for the club.

Everton have been performing well this season, especially in important matches, they have not given their opponents a chance to win. Out of 9 matches, the team has lost only 2 matches, won 3 matches and drawn 4 matches. Overall, Everton has a chance to climb higher. Winning the match against Newcastle was not easy. Both teams needed to win and in the first half both teams were attacking in the hope of scoring goals but could not score any but Everton scored in the 49th minute of the second half and that was the only goal of the match.

Despite being goal behind Newcastle were not in a very attacking mood as Everton's forwards increased the pace of the attack for more goals. Even though they could not score any more goals, Everton managed to add 3 points.

Man United will only get better once they get more players who are hungry to play for the club.

At the moment, many people have actually started talking about the weaknesses of the players as well as the coach. I agree with you. Because if a team cannot win all the time then the coach is blamed. But we do not criticize the mistakes and weaknesses of the players. Now the coach may select the strategy, do the planning. But if the players are not able to attack on the field, miss the opportunity to score goals, then the coach does not really have a negative role here. I also think that even if a new coach is appointed, the situation of United will not improve. And it is not possible to include new players in a hurry. It is a matter of time to change the entire squad and create a new strong team. And currently I do not think that Manchester United's players are that weak. They have enough good players in their team, but maybe they are not able to do well this season. It may be that they have not been able to find out what the main problem of their team is yet. But every time I watch their matches, I notice at least some changing performance. But I also see that no planning is working. Now I have given up hoping that they will improve this season. I hope that they will perform better in the future. Maybe some changes will be needed in the team. It may take a long time, but they will recover that is normal.

It is funny how some of us are seeing this premier league, premier league is not longer the way it used to be back then where a team like Manchester city would keep unbeaten record for almost one complete season.

I don't get, Manchester City has never gone unbeaten, they are and have always been a team with more wins and minimal  losses, Manchester City still remains one of the Best teams in the primer league but that doesn't mean they will escape losses, losses are always expected but the goal is to make it as minimal as possible.

Clubs could be beaten at some point, drew matches and still win the league's season. Just as they could be the best team in the league. And the same goes to the team that is unbeaten in a league's season, they might not be able to win the league cup, nor being the best. Don't you know it's possible? Yes, too many draws could mar their victory.

This means that, a club, being beaten or not is not the single factor to determine the best/potential winner, and indeed, Man City is undisputed one of the best teams in the EPL. They have been more consistent than failing, and more reliable. I should be cursing them because they made me lose a precious ticket in the weekend, but the truth remains the truth.

Newcastle seem to under perform in their home lately, no mater how hard they try in the game at the end of the day they still suffer a defeat. Everton is doing well in the season so there game against Newcastle I didn't expect Newcastle to over do but the least I expected was a draw match morever Newcastle is playing in the home which could have made it almost impossible for Everton to to win them, but then the team is really underperforming very well in the season and I think something has be done if not it will definitely affect the club in the long. On the other hand Everton is active at in the season and they have been
