Manchester United and Liverpool played out a 2-2 draw.Liverpool are turning down chances every time.They had the opportunity to take the lead again but failed to win in a tough away game in which they played so well.Liverpool played a better game than their opponent and dropped 2 points in this away game.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, drew 2-2 with Chelsea.Sheffield had more scoring chances than Chelsea but could hardly score the equalizer until the last minute, which shows the difference in experience in the league.Things could have been different if Sheffield had left here with a win, but Chelsea did not allow it.
Totthenham, on the other hand, defeated Nottingham Forest at home and finally managed to move above Aston Villa.Totthenham, who equalized the points with Aston Villa with 3 points, still have 1 game less.

Mauricio Pochettino is not competent and handling the affairs of the team, it's weigh bigger than the coach, Todd Boehly just giving him time to blend with the players. Chelsea keeps making unexpected surprises because how on earth will the Blues record 2-2 draw tie with a relegation zone team? How is that possible in the first place. We're not done applauding them for the stellar performance against Manchester United and they've play another terrible game. This is tototally unacceptable but we're left with no option than accepting draw tie.

Previously all Chelsea fans continue to give praise to Pochettino when winning the game against Manchester United, now they continue to mock and ask Pochettino to resign from his position as coach at this time, in the match against Manchester United we can see how tough the mentality of the Chelsea players at that time but precisely when against the relegation team we did not see it happen and even when Chelsea were in a state of winning They were caught off guard and could be exploited easily by Sheffield United's attackers to make the game end with draw score.

I think for now a change of coach seems to be the right solution, because after all Pochettino does not have the ability to lift Chelsea's performance to be better at this time, besides that the relationship between Pochettino at this time and the fans began to deteriorate and obviously it would be detrimental to Chelsea when if fans started boycotting and also no longer watching Chelsea matches later,  I don't know what the current Chelsea owners see from pochettino who have not been able to make Tottenham champion all this time in the Premier League, and failed to win the Champions League with PSG.

The match between Liverpool and Manchester United ended in a draw. Thank you, ten hag, for ruining MU's chances of taking three points from Liverpool and that's a disaster from ten hag. Manchester United had been doing well when it was not leading the game until it scored two goals to lead the game against Liverpool which deserved a lot of credit.
That's a terrible result, and I'll blame Ten Hag for it since he was the one who decide to sent bryuno off from the field. His subs are clearly destroying the gameplay built by United at the middle of game. Ten Hag changed bruno with amrabat which was the worst decision i have ever seen in the game and the result was completely unacceptable for Manchester United since it was only getting 1 point. It's a terrible result for United, but thank you very much for making Liverpool lose two points.

It means a lot to other clubs since liverpool was topping PL and arsenal is now leading the competition. Arsenal and Manchester City. The most unacceptable decision was when Ten Hag replaced Bruno Fernandes while MU was dominating the tempo. This decision was a complete disaster, which is why Liverpool was able to consistently put pressure on United.
The second Liverpool goal may not have occurred if Manchester United had not replaced Bruno Fernandes as a full-time player. I'm not sure what Ten Hag is thinking about, but it ruins the club.

Of a truth, I never expected the match to end in this manner, both teams played very well meanwhile I acknowledge Liverpool performance rather than that of Manchester united. I would say Liverpool where on their best performance, judging from their outstanding play making in terms of chances created (very unfortunate how they misused it or were just out of luck) and overall ball possession.

The substitution from Man united wasn't that necessary, the coach aim was to be defensive with their 2 to 1 lead, it helped a bit but Liverpool created an opportunity and a penalty was awarded. It was a wonderful game all together, better both teams shared points than one having it all.

The performance of Manchester United wasn't bad in this particular match even though they  repeated the same mistake they made against Chelsea by not holding on to their defense when they were leading Liverpool 2:1 if not Liverpool wouldn't have had the opportunity of creating that scoring opportunity that got them the penalty, Liverpool performance wasn't bad just that they failed to convert their chances to goals if not they would have won the match comfortably because Manchester United is not in a good form to compete with them and their possibility of winning the league would have increased it they had won the mat h but right now Arsenal has taken the lead in the race hopefully Liverpool will reclaim their position before the end of the season.

I don't know if anything would change my mind on Liverpool winning this title race, they never helped matters ending draw with Manchester united, I hopefully expected a straight win victory, Liverpool had the chance but seems luck wasn't on their favor this time. So unlucky now Arsenal is replacing them, holding the first position on the table, we can't tell how long they will maintain the spot because looking like Mancity are currently back on the race, the 3 teams currently at their 70+ points majorly surpassing with just goals difference, the race is getting much tough than I expected.

[Velvet78]

Totally agree, this price should have been 2 odds to show that this is a tough game for them but to be at 1.6 is undervalued if you ask me and United will win this one!!

Manchester United could have really won the game indeed. They weren't even the better playing side but that comeback was really impressive. If Liverpool scored at least 2 goals in the first half then the result of this game could be totally different. But despite all that huge dominance Liverpool couldn't do it and it cost them 2 points. 

I was expecting Salah to make difference and he really did by bringing one point to his team at least. However he will hope he doesn't regret missing a huge opportunity in the last minutes of the game as well. Liverpool still can't beat Manchester United this season.

To be honest, I didn't expect Liverpool to draw last night. They excelled and dominated the match. It was recorded that they had 62% ball possession, 28 shots and 7 shots on goal. Liverpool have wasted the opportunity to take first place. The draw against Manchester United was quite bad for Liverpool because they are in the race for the title and there are some difficult games ahead. Arsenal only had 1 difficult match against Tottenham, with matches against Chelsea and United not counting because they often appeared inconsistent. It looks like Arsenal has the biggest chance of winning the EPL title this season.

[Agbamoni]

Manchester United and Liverpool faced each other in the last match of English Premier League where Manchester United managed to give tough competition against Liverpool. Liverpool is a team occupying the top position of the points table while Manchester United is a team at the bottom of the points table. Liverpool have been a consistent team this season but not as consistent as Manchester United but still against Liverpool Manchester United certainly competed hard, defended well and attacked well which led them to a draw against Liverpool. In this match, Liverpool should have achieved 3 points because Liverpool is a much weaker opponent than Manchester United, if they could have achieved 3 points in this match, their number one position in the points table would have been a little stronger.

This would be a glorious moment for Arsenal. A moment where they tare toping the league with some real points and not goal points. All they need now is to maintain consistency in winning all the remaining EPL matches so that they can with the trophy they haven't won for a decade now. However, Arsenal has two strong competitors which is Tottenham and Chelsea. I know that these two teams are always very strong when they are playing Arsenal. If Arsenal can survive the force they will bring and manage to win them. Then for sure they will win all the remaining matches and lift the trophy up.

At a point i conclude that Manchester United would win the game yesterday. I saw intense the game was, where Liverpool was struggling to equalize. Lucky for them they did and shared the points with Manchester United. If not by now they will be shivering that they have bottled the league to Arsenal when they are down with three points. At this stage even one points is so important, its better you take a point than losing 3 points.

[QueenVera]

Arsenal and Arteta seem to have learned their their mistake and weakness from last season when they failed to perform at their best in phase of the league. The result of Manchester United versus Liverpool has given them an advantage to stay at the top of the table due to a better goals difference. Liverpool have themself to blame for the loss with the mistake in the defense and the failure to convert chance after chance they had in the game against Manchester United. This situation makes the title race becoming so captivating with one point different between the first and the third position.

While Arsenal lead the standings, I think their chance to win the title is smallest among the three teams. This calculation is based on the fact that Arsenal still have to face Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs. These three teams are their historical rivals who always give intense game to each other. Playing against rival team can be an emotional game that needs strong mentality to stay focus, and Arsenal still have to play in Champions League game that makes their situation a bit complicated.

 The EPL is suddenly coming to an end and you can imagine less that Arsenal won’t be able to perform this well by being ontop of the log with over 6 matches to go. Well Liverpool really gave up their lead yesterday in a disappointing draw to Man United and you can blame Liverpool but this.

 Well while blaming Liverpool you can’t fail to commend Arsenal’s great performance as they were able to maintain this good form up to this time and you must praise the attackers who’ve been able to score great number of goals to keep them on top with go difference. I think the team has learnt from their mistakes of last season though as you can see how they’ve improved their level of performance.

 ⁠Liverpool gave up this lead because in the matxh against Man United they were in very good possession of the game and had great number of chances but were bery wasteful in that game. I just hope Arsenal won’t take this same tone in their remaining 6 matches. In the last matches amongst the 3 contenders, Arsenal ahave major challenge as they still have about 3 top teams to play such as Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham. This Arsenal team will have to perform beyond the average to be able to get maximum 9 points from this fixture to be able to be crowned Champions because it’s not going to be an easy one in this final 6 matches.

It all comes to the coach. Chelsea have a big goalkeeping problem. Their centre-backs make too many mistakes, their left-backs are terrible. Jackson is bad, he runs hard but has problems finishing. No matter how good the midfielders are, the team in general is a disgrace. I don't only attribute this lack of form to the players but also to Pochettino. Although he is the manager who hasn't been sacked so far, he doesn't have a game plan despite camping with the team. Chelsea need a manager who likes to play modern football, who can manage the youngsters well. Chelsea need a good goalkeeper, a striker and a stopper with leadership qualities considering that Silva will leave. Otherwise, things are not looking good for Chelsea.

In today's Premier League match, Man United vs Liverpool, two teams have entered the field to play. The match between the two teams is almost at the end. So far, Man United team is 2 goals ahead of Liverpool team. Liverpool scored the first goal in the first half of the game, but no more goals after that.  Couldn't do it. If Liverpool team can still perform well and score 1 goal, then this match will be a draw. The players of Liverpool team are much stronger than Man United team. Now let's enjoy this match to see which team will win in the last stage of the game.  will be

The game yesterday was really a though one for Manchester united, because if you watch the game very well yesterday you will see that Liverpool players miss use their opportunity that dey where suppose to use and score Manchester united in the first half, but one thing I notice in that game is England have already fest the match as a draw If not Liverpool would have won Man united in that game yesterday.

[bitLeap]

Liverpool have been a consistent team this season but not as consistent as Manchester United but still against Liverpool Manchester United certainly competed hard, defended well and attacked well which led them to a draw against Liverpool. In this match, Liverpool should have achieved 3 points because Liverpool is a much weaker opponent than Manchester United, if they could have achieved 3 points in this match, their number one position in the points table would have been a little stronger.

This sentence in bold is quite surprising whether you watched yesterday game or not? because what is clear in this case is that Liverpool is a consistent club and Man United is an inconsistent club. But that cannot be used as a benchmark because in this match Man United would have been entitled to 3 points because they were 2-1 up if only Wan-Bissaka had not committed a foul in the penalty box which resulted in the score being 2-2. Overall, Man United's match against Liverpool is not about consistency or not because Liverpool played against Man United several times and never got 3 points. Liverpool last scored 3-3 points when they beat 0-7 and that was 1 year ago.

For the second underlined sentence, it's best to look at the statistics and know that Liverpool excels in shooting, shooting on target, passing accuracy, ball control, and so on. All of this shows that Liverpool is not weak.

England premier league is on predict able just check out what Chelsea played with Sheff united yesterday after biting Manchester united on Thursday they could not win Sheff united. one thing I always notice in premier league is when a small club is playing with a Big club them always fine it difficult to win, Because looking at what Chelsea played with Manchester united on Thursday one could not even believe that Chelsea is going to play draw with Sheff united.

[masulum]

Yesterday I thought Liverpool would be able to win the match after successfully defending 1 goal in the first half. However, in the second half Liverpool repeatedly failed to build effective attacks to score goals. Luckily, Liverpool can still get 1 point with a penalty in last minute 2nd half, even though they failed to be in 1st position, Liverpool can still maintain the points with Arsenal to keep their chances of winning the EPL this season.

Bissaka was a disaster in the second half and he has become the reason why untied lost three points. TBH, his tackle did not touch a Liverpool player but referee seen it as a direct foul to the player which was also making liverpool awarded a penalty by the referee. Bissaka sucks since it was making MU failed in getting three points against liverpool. Bissaka did something very bad in the previous match and ten hag needs to reevaluated this guy to be in the mains squad. I was almost seeing meguire to help liverpool scored the goal but onana was able catching the ball. This guy is obviously missing out on the opportunity to see his club earn three points against one of the strongest clubs in the EPL.
Salah once again helped Liverpool get out of a difficult situation when it was losing goal against manchester united, salah successfully executed the penalty and it's still a bad result for the reds. Arsenal will face difficult fixtures soon, and this could be a good opportunity for the city to outperform its competitors. I'm grateful to the United for their draw against Liverpool but it's still quite bad since mu was unable in making liverpool to lose three points. It contributed significantly to City's one-point gap to the Liverpool and Arsenal.
It gave City another chance to win the Premier League this season. The battle for winning mentality is approaching. We will see which team performs better in this match.

If I thought, it would be Man United who would win, it's just that I forgot something. Ten Hag has a habit of playing defensive football when Man United has a goal lead and I think this is actually a blunder because Man United doesn't have a good defense and their mentality is easy to falter. So when Ten Hag signaled to his players to play defensively, it was actually the beginning of their nightmare. In their last 3 matches, I saw that Man United always failed to win because of that strategy.

I would say Liverpool where on their best performance, judging from their outstanding play making in terms of chances created (very unfortunate how they misused it or were just out of luck) and overall ball possession.

A mistake from bissaka has destroyed united's chance to gather three points from liverpool. Many people have been complaining about what's bissaka did by tackled liverpool's player at that game. Bissaka could use his body but he decided to tackle his opponent. I think it was not out of luck.
Bisaaka took wrong decision. As a professional defender and bisaaka should know if he was on the penalty box. Doing tackle will be higher chance to give its opponent penalty. He was not even thinking like that. it's made me upset to see him keep play.

The decision to put amrabat it to replace bruno is totally wrong decision by ten hag.

The substitution from Man united wasn't that necessary, the coach aim was to be defensive with their 2 to 1 lead, it helped a bit but Liverpool created an opportunity and a penalty was awarded. It was a wonderful game all together, better both teams shared points than one having it all.

True and this has been criticized by many fans. Ten hag did many unnecessary subs which was only ruined the gameplay of manchester united. This is the same problem encountered by chelsea with its coach.
Im only wondering when ten hag will realize if he has made too many wrong subs. Even bruno was complaining to the ten hag.

Yesterday I thought Liverpool would be able to win the match after successfully defending 1 goal in the first half. However, in the second half Liverpool repeatedly failed to build effective attacks to score goals. Luckily, Liverpool can still get 1 point with a penalty in last minute 2nd half, even though they failed to be in 1st position, Liverpool can still maintain the points with Arsenal to keep their chances of winning the EPL this season.

Throughout the first half Manchester United was very difficult in dealing with attacks from Liverpool, and it didn't even take long for Diaz to be able to score in the game for Liverpool's victory until the end of the first half, I also think the same as you, because throughout the first half I saw if indeed Liverpool did not give room for Manchester United to be able to attack except for some attacks that were not dangerous,  And even in that match we can see if Manchester United are forced to continue to defend against Liverpool's dangerous attack, but luckily for Manchester United did not concede many goals in the first half.

I don't know what Ten Hag said to the Manchester United squad in the dressing room, but I think it was powerful enough to make Manchester United's game improve in the second half, relying on a quick counterattack attack Manchester United managed to make a comeback in the second half, but the penalty was finally able to keep Liverpool to make them able to end the game with a 2-2 draw,  Although it does not change their status and also their chances of winning the Premier League this season, but I think Klopp job will be even tougher because Arsenal and Manchester City will of course try hard to win every remaining game this season.

Well everyone is entitled to his own opinion and that's why I wouldn't fault you for saying that Manchester United should've won their game against Liverpool year. In the first half of that game, Liverpool controlled the game and would've put the contest to rest if they had converted their chances but that wasn't what we saw. Liverpool finished the first leg with just a one goal lead when they could've easily led with three or more goals. It was in the second half of the game that Manchester United started to do well with their performance which was rewarded with overturning the deficit but after Liverpool scored from the penalty spot to draw level, they still missed few chances that should've been converted. Liverpool knows that they're in serious battle with the other top two three teams in the league table so I expected them to be more clinical than they were yesterday.

I strongly agree with it. It reminds me of Pochettino, who has almost the same style as Ten Hag. I'm only seeing another Pochettino on Ten Hag since there are two things that give me the same impression as what Pochettino did.

1. Unnecessary subs
2. Defensive strategy after it leads game

These points are always used by Ten Hag and Pochettino. This is why I call United Chelsea's brother. The worst thing is that. those coaches never ever realize their mistakes,ue to repeat them. If i was united's official and i has already fired him since the early season.
It sucks to see how the gameplay ruinted by a wrong substitution by the coach.

and I think this is actually a blunder because Man United doesn't have a good defense and their mentality is easy to falter. So when Ten Hag signaled to his players to play defensively, it was actually the beginning of their nightmare. In their last 3 matches, I saw that Man United always failed to win because of that strategy.

This is not only a blunder by united. it has become united's habit. Chelsea and United have the same habits as they always change their strategy to be fully defensive once they lead he game instead of continuing to attack their opponent.

I don't know what is on Ten Hag's mind. I can't accept the truth if Ten Hag doesn't realize this. If I were Sir Jim, I would have already expelled him from the club then recruit a talented coach.

England premier league is on predict able just check out what Chelsea played with Sheff united yesterday after biting Manchester united on Thursday they could not win Sheff united.

I never expected a draw in the match, but we all know that Chelsea have been inconsistent this season, so I wasn’t really pained by their poor performance in the match. Whenever Chelsea plays against a big team and they play well, if their next match is against a weak team, then expect their performance to drop in the match, they will perform poorly in the match. We shouldn’t be confident that Chelsea will be winning their match when playing against weak teams, I don’t just know the problem Chelsea are having, they had opportunities to accumulate more points and move upward on the table, but they do miss use their opportunities.

Chelsea new owner bought too many overprice players who were not worth with their skills, and continued to repeat the same mistakes in the following season.
Changing managers every season will not solve the problem,, even the best managers in the Premier League now such as Guardiola and Kloop need more than a year to make their team solid and feared by opponents.
Chelsea must sell some of its players in the next transfer window and let Pochettino buy the players he needs.
