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

Again, Tottenham managed to get another win from Man United. This is the long-awaited moment, when both are struggling to return to the top standing, but in the end, Tottenham managed to surpass Man United this time.

In the match, Tottenham even had more attacks, 22 shots. This is very bad for Man United, yes, even though in the end it was only a crucial one goal only. But, that's the winning goal.

And finally, Tottenham beat Man United 3 times in this season.

Apart from beating Manchester United three times this season, I also think that Tottenham Hotspur have been a better side than the Old Trafford club and should have been in a better position in the English Premier League table if they hadn't lost or dropped points in games they were the favorites to win. I wasn't surprised that they got the better of Manchester United because they were playing at home and have an almost full squad to choose from unlike their opponents that lost some of their important players to injury while few others left the club during the January transfer window. Ange Postecoglou's men dominated the game and should've gotten a better result if they had converted their chances

[blue Snow]

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.

Seem like the Wolves changed their strategy in 2nd half. It's different like Liverpool on 1st half when they can created 10 attempt and many shoot on target on penalty box. Liverpool has no opportunity to do the same as the 1st half, while Wolves even increase their performing and had made several times equalize the score. Maybe the fatigue factor as you said because Liverpool played 4 tournaments at the same time so it's not so much attack like he did on 1st half when they still have many energy to attacked them severely. but more importantly, they won and and widening the distance points with arsenal.

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).

Manchester United's attack was indeed better even though Manchester United acted as a guest, but still didn't have a good finish.
Amorim should pay attention to several players who should be benched including their captain and main goalkeeper.
As their fan, I still believe in their glory and for this season I can only enjoy it even though when I watch their match it only leaves a feeling of disappointment.

• 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.

Yes, they will be happy with the result as it automatically made them a step closer to winning the English Premier League title. Though I think Wolves were the better team in the second half and Wolves but their pressure wasn't enough to snatch a late draw.

Tottenham were able to complete a double against Manchester United yesterday. This result has left many fans and critics talking about Ruben Amorim’s tactics. It seems they have lost hope in the manager but I think it’s too early for that.

[Lida93]

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.

The responsibility on Ruben Amorim as head coach of Manchester United is huge and can only take a long time to get the club in great shape for them to stay competitive. The present players in the United team are just underachieving in their performance, there's no motivation in them and I think Amorim should be able to give some of the youth players a chance to see if they can fit into his tactics instead of constantly resting hope on these players that are harming his reputation.

At this point i don't  seem to blame the coach anymore, i thought the coach was the main problem of Manchester united, the fans complained about every coach that had coached in the previous  years, they got sacked yet there is no improvement, i think Manchester  united has a wrong players in the club, or is a management problem, Ronaldo complained of poor facilities in the club and he was fired, instead of the management to improve in the facilities Ronaldo complained about they went ahead and buy more players that are not fit into the team.

The attack line is good, Amad Diallo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are young stars that can win you a game and score more goals, if the team are playing well, i think the club need a new keeper and a midfielders, if possible change the style of play, the coach should play 442 formation with this his young attackers. it will work well. but then again the defense line is not good. The club need buy more players and upload some players in the summer. The coach has to manage the players he has now to escape relegation, being in 15th position is too shameful for a club like Manchester united, they have to make the fans proud by winning the remaining games.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

In the Premier League, we saw the Liverpool team win in another match again, in fact, the performance of this team is constantly going to improve. Maybe that's what's helping Liverpool win the matches. Liverpool played against Wolves yesterday and from that match they were able to achieve their desired results. But one of the things in the Premier League is noticeable that Manchester United are not able to play well as much as they are trying.

One of the examples of this is that Manchester United have been defeated by Tottenham. I observed during the live broadcast of this match that Tottenham scored a goal at half-time, so maybe Manchester United had enough chances to draw this match but they couldn't do it.

Liverpool's result is just fulfillng my expectation to them. As long as they are winning it, and that's enough. They're good enough to be beaten by Wolves. They deserved three points.

On other hand, Manchester United is losing against Tottenham, and they did it two times in a row this season. Although they a bit more clincal, created some big chances, and controlled the game, but they're not good enough. It seems they're alergic to score, and that's abysmal performance by them.

They're not that good to compete for the 10th place.

Amorim has so far struggled to lift Manchester performance and with all the downturns of course he currently has a very difficult job, Ten Hag has left a squad that is in very bad shape so we can't blame amorim at the moment for what happened to Manchester United, so I think next season will actually be an opportunity for Amorim to build his squad as he wants, to be honest, I see it seems that the current squad owned by Amorim does not match the criteria he expects but because of the change of coach that occurs in the middle of the season, of course inevitably Amorim must maximise the potential of the current players before the season ends later.

The score is really not satisfying for such a game. There were 38 shots in total but only 1 goal.    Probably the people who bet on over 2.5 goals or BTTS are really frustrated with the result.

When it comes to the game, Amad Diallo's absence was felt quite much for the Red Devils. If he played, I'm quite confident he would make a score contribution. Bruno Fernandes and de Ligt were the best performers for them. But Tottenham played better as a team. Maddison's early goal was enough to bring the win. Still of course both teams are having difficult days in the Premier League. Do you think any of the managers of these teams will get sacked soon?

[ImThour]

I can't believe that Manchester United FC, one of the greatest football club in this history of Premier League, is losing like this. They clearly lack star players in their team which they once had, legendary players like Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs and others. Now if you look at the team, the only famous player that most of the people know is the Midfielder Casemiro, not even a single forward attacker is a generational hype. This is exactly the reason why teams like Liverpool and Manchester City are rocking the table.

Manchester united really needs a good finisher because the reason for their lost yesterday against Tottenham Hotspur was because of poor finisher, zirkzee, Hujlud and Garnacho. Garnacho missed a big chance in the first half and that was not impressive and they really need to improve and work on themselves though there performance was really nice yesterday I mean to some point they were possessing Tottenham Hotspur and the goal they scored was the keeper mistake assuming the keeper did not vomit the ball  they won't have score but that is not an excuse because wining is wining, I wish Amad was present in the pitch that yesterday it wouldn't have been easy for Tottenham Hotspur because if he doesn't score, he will definitely assist Amorim should get someone like Mbbape and Halland as a finisher.

Amorim can't be blamed for the underperforming of the United team right now, the players at his disposal isn't matched with his tactics as he had while in Sporting CP. The Manchester United management should endeavour to provide necessary funds to ensure Amorim bring the right players he believes has the talent to fit his style.  But until then United would have to  fight to avoid going into relegation because that's what they've left to fight for in the EPL this season. This is just the reality.

[JeffBrad12]

The result achieved by Manchester United against Tottenham already emphasized if they're finished. I don't see the willingness owned by the club to go up. They wasted many opportunities and doing so many blunders.

Their biggest blunder was not selling Garnacho. His performance has been drastically dropped. He becomes a player with the lowest conversion ratio in premier league.

I have been talking about MU to sell him in the past, but things worsen when they decide to keep stubbornness in keeping him.

[SatoPrincess]

You guys are celebrating Manchester city and no one is mentioning Omar Marmoush. When I learnt he left Bundesliga to join the English giants, I knew there was a problem. Although, I blamed him for leaving Bundesliga where he was in a serious race to the highest goal scorer with Harry Kane to Manchester city where he is a second option striker. Although, I stopped blaming him when I discovered that Guardiola has a way of playing both him and Haaland together. Today he got a hat-trick in his name which is a very big fit to achieve within short period of being in Manchester City. We never can tell, this could be the total turn around that Manchester City needed this season. Congratulations to Omar Marmoush. The Egyptian striker.

Omar Marmoush has been a good addition for City, his contributions have not gone unnoticed. He has scored his fast hatrick already for City recording 3 goals in 3 appearances for City. Congratulations to Omar Marmoush, he is blending in and getting along well with City helping the team revive and return back to winning ways.

I know Manchester United current problem is the players, and not the coach, but we should know that when a club is performing poorly, then the coach will be held responsible for that, because it’s the coach that’s managing the players. Amorim is a good coach, but Manchester United lack quality players, all the positions in Manchester United are just so poor, from their goal keeper to the attacker.

Manchester United had lots of opportunities in their match against Tottenham, but they lack striker which will convert most of those chances into goal, Manchester United is having a horrible goalkeeper which Amorim will have to work on that position also.

Amorim will have to sign new players, the current players in Manchester United can’t really offer them anything, and if Amorim can continue with them, then their won’t be any serious improvement in Manchester United’s performance. All I know is that we shouldn’t expect fast changes in Manchester United’s performance, it’s going to be a gradual process.

Congratulations to Omar Marmoush, he is blending in and getting along well with City helping the team revive and return back to winning ways.

Although it is too early to conclude that he has blended or gotten used to Manchester City and the EPL at large. No doubt, his past performance in Eintracht Frankfurt indicates that he is an asset to his new team, but he has to be consistent to gain the attention and respect he commanded in the Bundesliga. Pep Guardiola seems to have a good taste for quality, but there are still lapses in the defense and midfield. My friend told me that City will return back to winning ways fully next season, I didn't know how true his assertion is.

Leicester City - Arsenal
Aston Villa - Ipswich
Manchester City - Newcastle

There are 3 matches that I will bet on today, hopefully the teams I bet on will not disappoint, I bet on Arsenal and Aston Villa's victory, of course they are more favored to win because their opponents are not as strong as them, but for the match between Man City - Newcastle I do not choose between the two because in my opinion this match is quite difficult to predict, they have the same points and of course the victory of one of them will determine their position and make the difference in points I bet on BTTS and the odds are quite convincing.

Unfortunately this bet wouldn’t have gone right though if I were to make my prediction on same game I would have made similar stakes but you were right with some. Arsenal got a win against Leicester though the win came late. Aston Villa failed to win which would have been the highlight of the bet. Ipswich held them down to a 1-1 draw while Manchester City orchestrated a 4 to nil victory against Newcastle United.

I will have to completely agree with you, you are absolutely right, I believe many of us are fond of this habit of praising players or coach way to early in a way I personally consider abnormal.
On the norm, player are supposed to be given the time to play for like six month and up to a year before we begin accessing  their performance in other to give them a proper rating, we made this same mistake when the Manchester united coach took over from Ten hag (the previous man united coach), he lead the team to win about three or four matches in a row and many of us immediately concluded that he was the man for Manchester united, but today and unfortunately, look how bad Manchester united is performing, winning matches have become a major problem for them.

So, I would say we give this new player time to settle in, lets watch how consistent he can be in maintaining the good record he started with in the long run before we draw conclusions on this performance over all.
