There is a Liverpool - Manchester City game in a few days. It is a really crucial one considering the title competition.



Here is the odds.

I would even expect Liverpool to have lower odds than that honestly.    Because Manchester City have been experiencing really tough days recently. Did you see how Feyenoord got a point from them at Etihad by coming back from a 3-0 disadvantage?

Guardiola and his students are in a devastated condition. While Liverpool are doing great I think they are a serious favourite to win this game. There is a huge opportunity to make the gap 11 points. I wouldn't even be surprised if Arne Slot does some rotation against Real Madrid today.

Liverpool is the favorite to win the match against Manchester City, we all know that Manchester City has not been playing well and they can't win at Anfield Stadium which is Liverpool's home, Liverpool has been in better shape this season than any team, Manchester City lost 6 matches in a row both Premier League and other League and I believe that will still repeat itself against Liverpool because Liverpool is very strong opponents that no any team should mess up with this season.

Pep Guardiola is complaining about his injured player and saying they should give him back his players and he is going to win the League, that is not an excuse because no player is missing in Manchester City than Rodri and no one will come out and tell me that Rodri is the reason why Manchester City can't play well, only a single player that is missing the so call best coach of all time can not win a game again, what will Carlo Ancelotti said when all Real Madrid important players are injured? Pep can't give excuses because Manchester City players are complete.

Manchester City and Liverpool are the two best teams in the English Premier League and the positions of the two teams are number one and number two in the points table, but the difference in points between Liverpool and Manchester City is eight. Although Liverpool and Manchester City have already played equal matches in the English Premier League. Since these two teams are at the top position of the points table, we can consider the fight between these two teams as the toughest match of the English Premier League. Currently, Liverpool is in the best rhythm, on the contrary, Manchester City is not in a good rhythm, so considering the current performance, Liverpool is definitely being kept ahead for this match. Another reason to favor Liverpool in the upcoming Premier League match is that the game will be played at Liverpool's favorite ground, so the chances of winning will naturally be higher for Liverpool there.

This is as tough as Liverpool facing Real Madrid before in the Champions League even though the chances between them are almost balanced but Liverpool showed their greatness in front of their supporters and finally beat Real Madrid, in these 2 tough matches Liverpool were lucky enough because they were held at their headquarters so that they would perform better by bringing supplies from previous victories Liverpool must be more confident when facing Man City this club is also in unstable performance and the mentality of their players must be a little disturbed because they experienced consecutive defeats so Liverpool can take advantage of that to widen the points between them.

When Jurgen announced about exiting Anfield at the end of last season, Liverpool supporters was worried because he's one competent coach that would lead the club forward, although the team's board didn't relent when it comes to scouting his replacement. They appoints Arne Slot as the team's manager, and look where that got them. He's doing really well for Liverpool. This is Arne Slot era and we expects more thrilling victory for Liverpool. They thrashed Real Madrid at Anfield and winning points counts for them. Real Madrid couldn't withstand the pressing forces of the Reds in the UEFA Champions League. Infact, Liverpool falls in category to win the UCL trophy this season, they're fierce candidates. This weekend, they're hosting Manchester City at Anfield, one of the big games to watch and place wager.

Manchester United kept Erik ten Hag for 3 years even though he didn't make progress in the PL. I hope to see them being patient with Amorim also. If his tactics start working then we could finally see Manchester United going back to the good days. 

Not even my granP who is old and now with difficulties will say or write such a thing on here. People who say this are just core ten Hag haters. It breaks my heart to see such on here. Before Erik Ten Hag,  Manchester United wasn't in the top four and found it difficult to qualify for the Champions league,  they also won two trophies in two seasons and the same time playing three finals in two seasons. I won't be suprise if most of you come out here to criticise Amorim same way you praising him.

[mammusu]

If it's about offloading some of the squad members at Manchester United that are surplus to requirements this January, I think that is very likely happen but I don't think Ruben Amorim will be signing too many players this Winter. The Manchester United manager is currently trying to use the squad at his disposal, study them and know the ones that can adapt to his style of football and the ones to let go. I trust Amorim to succeed in his quest to make Manchester United one of the best teams in English football in no distant time

Yes, Amorim still studies the squad and still looking for the right composition for his strategy. He was mixing the right players for the position, but until when? because the time is running out. the schedule ahead is already getting tighter, if Amorim still experiments with all players, I think MU will not get anything for this session. they've already lost start with the middle clubs like Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and even Fulham. MU are in critical condition which if not dealt with quickly, they will not be able to compete in the Champions League or even the Conference League on the next session if the coach did not take action immediate.

Manchester United is currently entering a new era with Amorim, As a new coach and also a new environment, Amorim should take a wise approach by taking advantage of existing players before making many new signings later, because that way he can show his ability better than the previous coach, Manchester United actually have a lot of quality players although there are some of them who have to be thrown away like Maguire,  Antony and Evans at the moment, but I think with the right strategy of course he should be able to lift the performance of his players like Nistelrooy did in the last few matches, because with retaining existing players until the end of the season, at least this can help create stability and cohesiveness in their current squad.

Ruben Amorim still has about a month to evaluate and study his players, and after that, he must decide whether it is necessary for him to sign new players because he has to be really wise, as he might not get much budget this January. Besides that, he also has the option if he wants more new signings, that is selling some players first, and I think this is the option that Amorim will choose because some players don't seem to fit the new strategy.

Manchester United have done so much because of their performance and their ability or because of players who are no longer part of this team. But these players who are playing, if they also work hard and play well, they can also take Manchester United to the same position again, but the sad thing is that it is difficult to happen now because Manchester United has weakened itself so much. He has assumed that it will require a lot of hard work to get back to a good position which he will not be able to do.  But it would have been nice to see and hear their record of the last season and it is sad to see the current record that it will be so bad and weak. If it returns to strength from now on it will be in the top 4.

Indeed it was difficult to believe that Liverpool would survive without Jurgen Klopp because he was so good and highly instrumental to the success of Liverpool. He was committed to his job and had a wonderful working relationship with the players. Therefore it was right to doubt if there would be a good replacement for him. Arne Slot actually surprised everyone, even though it is still too young to judge him but from what we are already seeing, he is doing well as a coach and is a good replacement for Jurgen Klopp. If he continues this way, he will definitely win a trophy in his first year at Anfield.

Amorim needs time. It would take a long or a short one but he definitely needs it to apply his strategies without issues. He has literally lived all his life in Portugal until coming to the PL. This is a big change for him also. He would also have some adaptation process. He is managing one of the most prestigious PL teams now. He must be aware of his big responsibilities already.

Manchester United kept Erik ten Hag for 3 years even though he didn't make progress in the PL. I hope to see them being patient with Amorim also. If his tactics start working then we could finally see Manchester United going back to the good days. 

Hojlund has said that Amorim's system suits him well, and reminds him the days at Atalanta, but i don't wanna to rush it. I should wait longer to see how effective Amorim's system is to Manchester United's squad. I know they won, but they also almost lost points, too.

Winning 3 goals and conceding 2 goals against a low tier team is not something that we should be overly proud of. It's very interesting to see how they will play when they fight a strong team like Liverpool.

Amorim has a lot of works to do on his club now. The win in the Europa League actually helped his club to bounce, but they're yet facing a strong club.

It is very difficult to stop Liverpool who always consistently maintain their best performance, Real Madrid has just become a victim of Liverpool greatness according to Arne slot and now Ancelotti team is finding it increasingly difficult to qualify for the last 16 of the UCL. Man City fate is much worse than Real Madrid, they are in a victory crisis, even the victory that was in sight was lost just like that after Feyenoord managed to make the match end in a draw. Liverpool players continue to maintain their motivation to win because this is an important match for them, a win over Man City will make them even more solid at the top of the standings.

A coach will be tested when making changes to the line up. I don't doubt Arne Slot but the fact is that the current line up has been formed very neatly by Kloop. So Arne Slot is just like continuing everything that Liverpool had before. Well, if in the coming season Arne Slot can still maintain that performance, we deserve to give praise to the coach. For now I can't give any praise and just see how far Arne Slot will take Liverpool.

Guardiola and his students are in a devastated condition.

With the performance of Liverpool against Real Madrid in the champions league game they played about some days ago, i can vehemently say that Liverpool will be the favorites to win in the premier league match against Manchester city because i see capacity in Liverpool than Manchester city. Right now, Manchester city is in a state of devastation and confusion and i doubt if they can really win Liverpool this coming Sunday. The odds of the bookies have already said it all, it's a must win game for Arne slot's men. Manchester city is yet to overcome their losing streak of going 5 games without a win out of their last 6 matches they have played in all competitions, so more difficult situations await them.
          I feel so bad for Pep Guardiola because it seems like he is going through the most difficult time in his coaching career, and it is really a big slap on the face of the Four consecutive premier league winner, Pep Guardiola. Hope he heals from this nightmare.

[Velvet78]

The Red Devils got their first win with their new manager Ruben Amorim. It was a tough one though.    Bodo/Glimt made them serious difficulties. The defensive problems are still not fixed but it is early of course. They will need to get used to playing with a 3-defender formation first. Then this system will start working nicely hopefully.

Now the Everton game is next. Everton are far away from their good old days. At Old Trafford their chance is low. I hope Amorim will get another win here. 1.56 odds are nice enough for me to add to a combined parlay.

Liverpool has shown significant form under the current slot coaching and of course he has to thank Klopp for leaving the perfect team to him, this season they managed to top the Premier League and UCL standings and this shows that Liverpool have great potential to be champions this season, but I think slots have a big challenge to keep Liverpool in form not only this season,  But the real challenge is next season when he must build his own squad without being in Klopp shadow.

A coach will be tested when making changes to the line up. I don't doubt Arne Slot but the fact is that the current line up has been formed very neatly by Kloop. So Arne Slot is just like continuing everything that Liverpool had before. Well, if in the coming season Arne Slot can still maintain that performance, we deserve to give praise to the coach. For now I can't give any praise and just see how far Arne Slot will take Liverpool.

Next season he needs to show his ability to manage the team, make the right tactical decisions while maintaining the consistency of the players, but if he can not  doing, of course Liverpool will have the same fate as Manchester United in the Ten Hag era, great shown in his first season in coach,but subsequently they have suffered a slump.

It looks like their preparation time to face Everton is very close. They just beat Bodo a day ago, and now have to compete again in the premier league. I hope their squad is going well without any injury or fitness issues. Everton has enough preparation time, they don't have the Europa Tournament like MU did, so their preparation to face MU is 100% complete. This will be an interesting match to watch because their statistics are similar to each other, so there could be surprises from the away team. this should be anticipated MU; there is the possibility of rotation that Amorim will implement to overcome explosion form Everton.

I decided to check out for the latest odd Incase any has recently changed, considering the fact that Liverpool lost a key player to injury in their game against Real Madrid, it feels like their odd isn't affected much. Truth is, I see Liverpool winning this game. We might just see Manchester city defending for a longer time, because I believe pep might not want to risk his backline against a fast moving side like Liverpool with very fast wingers.

The game is definitely going to be tactical, but it will be quite unfortunate for pep to lose this game. Liverpool will definitely want to extend their lead, and they have what it takes to do that, but I just hope it doesn't get worse like the game against Spurs. Good luck to both sides.

Southampton performance against Brighton yesterday was truly unbelievable. after Brighton took the lead in the first half, I thought it would be an easy win for them, given their league position and home ground advantage. However, Southampton second half comeback was incredible. Despite Brighton strong performance, I expected them to score more goals in the second half. Instead, Southampton equalized and even came close to taking the lead, only to have the goal disallowed by VAR.

I won't be suprise if most of you come out here to criticise Amorim same way you praising him.

Criticizing does not mean hating, when the coach is unable to get the team he is handling out of the slump, then criticism will continue to come to him, this is very natural in my opinion because the goal of the team hiring him is to manage the team well. The situation Ten Hag is experiencing is beyond tolerance, there is no other way to save Manchester United from the slump other than firing him. Yes, he gave a little bit of light at the beginning of his coaching, but it slowly started to fade.

However, Southampton second half comeback was incredible. Despite Brighton strong performance, I expected them to score more goals in the second half.

Southampton full strength football team became successful to draw this match . That match was not one sided and audience enjoyed that match because both teams did all efforts to win this match.  Mitoma was the first player who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 29 minutes of the match.  And after we saw next goal from the opponent team which was Southampton team .
Downes  did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 59 minutes of the match. That match was exciting and enjoyed that match very much and I watched all match because we were curious about Southampton team because they could goal  at any moment but we saw equal performance from both teams and both teams got equal points in this match.

Compared with the beginning of the season ,at this time their performance is starting to decline drastically, even in the match we can see how Southampton was actually able to keep up with their game in the match although in terms of player quality Brighton is still better, the goal scored by Mitoma should have aroused Brighton motivation in the match but they actually looked like they were starting to play their carefull after win with score 1-0, but Southampton showed their fighting spirit by scoring a goal to equalize the score to 1-1, Although their winning goal was disallowed, but I think they have played with high determination and luck for Brighton if VAR has saved them from defeat in that match.
