Tottenham 1:0 Manchester United 13'

It is important that we begin to ask what exactly is the problem of Manchester United this time around. Tottenham Hotspur is not a team that is in a good form this season, I mean they are somewhere in the 15th position in the English Premier League below Manchester United and why will Manchester United find a difficult to beat them?
I no longer understand what exactly is the problem of Manchester United. They are facing a lot of inconsistency and it seems that the management is left with no option than to manage the situation till the end of the season.
This is not the great red devil that everyone used to know. Things are very much wrong with Manchester United of today.
Amad is injured and no strong force in the Manchester United attack, while we saw the impact of Rashford in Villa team.

I know that Manchester United have been poor this season and have performed below expectations but come on, they're playing away at Tottenham Hotspur -a team that's very capable of beating any side in the English Premier League on their day. Looking at the available players at Ruben Amorim's disposal at the moment, I think his selection this afternoon isn't a bad one. James Madison is a big player and when you give him opportunity, he'll punish you like he did minutes ago.
That said, I think Manchester United can still bounce back into the game and get a result out of it but that can only be possible if they improve their performance

Tottenham Hotspur is not a team that is in a good form this season, I mean they are somewhere in the 15th position in the English Premier League below Manchester United and why will Manchester United find a difficult to beat them?

In the 10th minute, Granacho became the first Manchester United player in this match to create a good chance even though it did not result in a goal. 10 minutes later, Garnacho also became the first Man United player to waste a good chance that is 80% of the goals.

The problem is the goalkeeper and a number of players who are not totally in every game.
Maddison's goal showed Onana is often not good at catching the ball.
Between the midfield and the front line is often chaotic even when they lose the ball.

I think Man United were a bit unlucky tonight. Despite playing as a guest, Man United had a better attack than hosts Tottenham, and I even think Man United played a little better than Tottenham, it's just that their goalkeeper didn't play well, and that's why they conceded. Besides that, Man United is also facing player injury problems, and that is why Amorim brought in many academy players to be on the bench in this match (it's quite interesting to see Chido Obi Martin on the bench).

With Manchester City's form, I was not expecting them to win the game yesterday. All my thoughts were that maybe the game would end in a draw or Newcastle would win. I also placed a bet, choosing the option of Newcastle scoring one goal, but unfortunately, Newcastle couldn't score any goal. That was the most painful part for me.

Seriously I will say the game result came as a surprise to everyone, most people didn’t expect Manchester City to get a win in the match, Manchester City performance has been so poor, and Newcastle are in form, so everyone expected the match to be so difficult for Manchester City, but it ended to be a easy win for them, they were able to score 4 goals in the match, and Newcastle couldn’t score any goal.

Manchester city is now a club which we should be careful when picking them in our bets, they are really inconsistent right now, they are just full of surprises, they do perform well in matches which we don’t even expect them to play well, but Manchester City performance has dropped drastically this season.

Pep Guardiola is just finding it difficult to fix Manchester City current problem, he singed some players, but Manchester city are not back to form yet, this season is really a bad one for Manchester city, I just hope their performance is going to improve.

In my opinion, onana performed quite impressively in the first half although he had to concede in the 13th minute after the ball  rebound from catch, so the goal was inevitable as the manchester united defence stood without trying to stop Maddison from scoring , the counter-attacking scheme carried out by tottenham was actually able to trouble the red devils defence and Onana actually had to fight hard enough to block the shots made by the tottenham attackers, even in my opinion, if onana had not performed well in the first half of course they would has conceded more than one goal but onana was actually able to make some crucial saves, the second half has started now, in my opinion amorim needs to instruct their defenders to focus and not leave their positions too far when helping attacks, because I see that often manchester united defenders are left behind when tottenham attackers sprint in building counterattacks.

It is quite a necessary question that should be asked about Manchester United mentality, you’re playing a Tottenham team that isn’t good enough that is positioned in 15th and are having most of there big names injured. Manchester United needs to take responsibility and the players have to take responsibility as well, we can’t keep putting the blame on every manager that takes up the coaching role in the team, The attack isn’t performing very well they aren’t scoring enough goals, the goal keeper haven’t been good how does he concede a goal from the corner kick, he is underperforming, all the players in the field aren’t good enough they all should be sold and new players who are hungry should be brought in. It’s a team that lacks a good mentality. I think Amorim shouldn’t have been brought in now, it should’ve been in the summer. So he can build the team and sell some players and bring in some new players as well.

Yeah, it was really surprising on how Newcastle lost which such a score line against Manchester that really isn't in form for now. I already know that Newcastle is inconsistent but I wasn't expecting them to lose to this City side. Manchester City is more dip in form and inconsistent in these past few weeks than City. I was actually surprised that City won though cause earlier on, I had thought Newcastle will win.

Tottenham and Manchester United  are in very bad form this season. Despite being two of the Premier League's most relegated teams, they are performing terribly. I didn't think Tottenham would win today. tottenham  have lost consecutively in their last 5 matches. On the other hand, Manchester United's performance has been erratic, but they have been able to perform well in several matches.

However, in today's home match, we can see an. excellent performance from Tottenham's players. Tottenham is still leading 1-0 after 85 minutes. However, Tottenham's overall gameplay is very  organized today. So far, Tottenham's players have been able to make a total of  20 shots, 7 of which were on target. Manchester United's players were able to make several strong attacks . But they could not break Tottenham's defense.

[SuperBitMan]

I knew it that Liverpool will win wolves because this match is very serious to them, if they lost this match there chance of winning the premier league title would be very small, winning this match shows that Liverpool are still very determine to lift the premier league title and if they continue like this I believe they will lift the title, for the fact that Liverpool are at home I knew they will win the match there by making there fans very happy, wolves is not inform they really need to work on there self's however they tried in holding Liverpool or they prevented them from scoring many goals this shows that wolves has a very good defense they tried there best I was thinking Liverpool will score a lot of goals, Liverpool should also do more in other to improve more because if they don't they will lose one day, now they are gapping arsenal with 8 point and this is a good one for them, Liverpool is very good they are playing very well and they usually don't joke with this kind of opportunity I believe they will lift this premier league title this season, arsenal should continue playing well and wait for an opportunity to top the league.

I wasn't very pleased with their play for real. Tottenham isn't at their best and have been flopping for a lot of teams lately but, still found a way to beat Manchester United.
Could it be that the absence of Amad on the team did contribute to their failure tonight? We know how Amad have helped the team especially in a time where they needed it.
Liverpool still continues their lead by winning yet another match. I had hoped to see more goals on the scoresheet but, Wolves being Wolves, they didn’t let them have so much sight of the goal.

I already know that Newcastle is inconsistent but I wasn't expecting them to lose to this City side. Manchester City is more dip in form and inconsistent in these past few weeks than City. I was actually surprised that City won though cause earlier on, I had thought Newcastle will win.

Some people underestimated Manchester City so much in that match that they thought Newcastle would win the match. If you look at their respective performances, I think both teams were equally bad in the last match, but Manchester City performed brilliantly in that match and won the match easily. The most interesting thing about the match was not Manchester City's victory, but Omar Marmoush's success in scoring a hat-trick in just 14 minutes.

As a result of this victory, Manchester City managed to return to the Champions League zone which was previously controlled by Chelsea. Manchester City will probably get better as the second half of the season progresses, so I don't expect more people to underestimate them.

[Black Mbaye]

Today, I bet on Newcastle to win because City has a very important rematch in the Champions League next week, but O.Marmoush made me regret it. He showed his best performance since the day he arrived and scored 3 goals today, the first goals of his City career.
What is interesting to me is that Newcastle, who always caused problems for the teams that were at the top before, could not show any presence.
My bet lost, but Pep did not rotate even when there was a very important rematch on weekdays.

I don't think Guardiola will rotate too much anymore. Because their standings are bad in the Premier League. Losing could cause bigger problems for them. They are aware of this and that's why he doesn't use rotation. Marmoush showed a very important performance for Manchester City and made his first hattrick with the blues. I was also surprised by Newcastle's ineffectiveness throughout the match.

I know Manchester City's performance this season have been below expectations but I don't think it's gotten to the extent that you should be bold to stake on a Newcastle win at Etihad stadium -not when Pep Guardiola have signed few quality players to improve the quality of the squad this January. Incase you don't know who Omar Marmoush is or how prolific he can be, he was the second top scorer in the German Bundesliga before he left Eintracht Frankfurt to join Manchester City this January.
I wasn't surprised to see him score hattrick yesterday against Newcastle because I know too well that he's got the quality to do that week in, week out so you should expect more of such brilliant performance from the Egyptian striker going forward.

• Liverpool vs Wolves 2 - 1
• Tottenham vs Man United 1 - 0

Liverpool were very satisfied to steal 3 points from Wolves even though in the second half it made Liverpool supporters a little afraid if the result was a draw. In the second half Wolves had a lot of efforts to put pressure and hoped to equalize the score but Liverpool's defense also became stronger in the second half.

Unlike Man United and actually since before the match started I started to suspect the odds given by the bookies. Because Spurs were favored in the match and it turned out to be true that MU performance was very bad. As if they did not have the ability to provide resistance. While Spurs have recently had a very bad performance but MU actually performed worse. But I have to remember that Man United does not have the best plan in the EPL. Only the European league is Man United's priority. So that his performance was not optimal in the EPL match.

[Stable090]

I wasn't very pleased with their play for real. Tottenham isn't at their best and have been flopping for a lot of teams lately but, still found a way to beat Manchester United.

I wasn’t really surprise with the result of the match, the two teams have been performing poorly this season, I won’t really say one team is better than the other, so I was expecting a draw, or a narrow win from one of the club, but Tottenham were able to get a win in the match, I don’t really know know what Manchester United’s problem is, and their is no sign that their performance is going to improve.

Manchester United are currently in 15th position, with 29 points after 25 matches have been played.  that’s really a bad one for Manchester United, I never expected them to be at this position, even with a new coach, their is no improvement in Manchester United’s performance, they keep on dropping on a daily basis.

I just hope Amorim will be able to stay long at Manchester United, because United’s performance is so poor, even with Amorim as they coach, their is no change’s so I will say the fault is from the players and not the coach alone. I hope Manchester United will have patience, because I don’t think Amorim will be able to change Manchester United’s performance within a short period of time, Amorim is having a lot to work on.

[SUPERSAIAN]

In this match, Liverpool's tactical intelligence and team play surpassed everything. In this match, no matter how hard Wolverhampton tried, they were not as organized and fast as Liverpool. In the first half, Wolves tried to organize themselves well a few times but were constantly struggling with Liverpool's hard and accurate pressing.

Liverpool's fast wing plays were the kind we always know. Diaz and Salah were the players who scored the goals in Liverpool. Although Wolverhampton did not make many mistakes in defense, they were weak against Liverpool's fast passes and offensive organization.

In the second half Wolves had a lot of efforts to put pressure and hoped to equalize the score but Liverpool's defense also became stronger in the second half.

Apart from Mo Salah, the rest of Liverpool players were not phenomenal. It has always been Mo Salah and I think that he is going to be the highest goal scorer of this season in EPL. Another exception is Luiz Diaz, who has been in mediocre performance since this season but did well today. Wolves did perform well today unlike some of their previous matches, I don't know if it's because they are playing with the best.

Unlike Man United and actually since before the match started I started to suspect the odds given by the bookies. Because Spurs were favored in the match and it turned out to be true that MU performance was very bad. As if they did not have the ability to provide resistance.

Only the European league is Man United's priority. So that his performance was not optimal in the EPL match.

When I saw the Manchester United lineup, I knew that they were actually going to lose the match. This is because Manchester United has no effective striker this season and the only player that gives me a lot of confidence from the wing was not in the lineup which is Amad Diallo

[pawel7777]

OK, Man City is back in style. I worried they might struggle against Newcastle, especially after they got destroyed by Arsenal, but it was a very decisive win. They controlled the game throughout, didn't let Newcastle create many scoring chances (they only made 1 shot on target), the goalie kept a clean sheet, and their new acquire, Marmoush, scored for the first time and it was a hattrick. All was pretty much perfect.
Their next league game will be against Liverpool at home. Liverpool is a favourite with odds of x2.30 (Man City: x2.75) but I think City is more likely to win this one. There's a high chance for a draw, but "draw no bet" for the City is x2.05, which are decent odds, in my opinion, and worth considering.

It was a very intense game of play, I feel Liverpool wasn’t at there best, the first half was good from Liverpool, they created some chance through the wings in the run of play, Salah was always a treat and Luis Diaz was also a treat all throughout the game, but Gakpo was missed in the frontline, Jota wasn’t at his best I think he is trying to find his feet after a long injury layoff, This Liverpool team looks tired at some point and if they don’t organize themselves very well the weeks coming will be a season defining week, I was impressed when Wataru Endo came on to protect the backline. He had a very good performance. Wolves had a good game plan as well and I was impressed they caused a lot of problems for Liverpool in the second half and Liverpool had to grind out the victory.
