Chelsea do not care about the Conference league, a club of their status that has won everything couldn't care less if they won the Conference league. Chelsea's main goal now is to finish in the top five which will give them CL football for next season, that said, the race for that top five spot is really heating up right now and there are so many contenders, so to secure one of it they have to be impeccable from now until the end of the season.

Conference league is not special to Chelsea, and I don’t think it’s something Chelsea should really focus on, I know Chelsea will wan to win a trophy this season, and the conference league is the only trophy which Chelsea can win, but their main target right now is for them to qualify for the champions league, what they are fighting for this season is the champions league spot, and from the way Chelsea are playing currently, I won’t really be surprise if they don’t achieve that.

Chelsea played against Fulham today, and they struggled before they could get a win in the match, at some points I gave up on Chelsea to win the match, because Fulham were the first to score in the match, and Chelsea couldn’t equalize till the match was about to end before George scored the equalizing goal and Neto scored the winning goal during the extra minutes given. Chelsea were able to get a win today, but am not still satisfied with the way Chelsea are playing, they are not playing like a team that really wants to achieve something.

I agree that Chelsea's main goal has to be the Champions League qualification but the Conference League at the end of the day is still a competition to honor and possibly win mainly because they are by far the best team. They are only 3 matches away from winning it, if I were Maresca it'd go for the win.

It's official that Manchester United doesn't care about what happens to them anymore in the league as they have pushed all concentration and focus in the Europa League, because the last time Manchester United won any Premier League game was against Leicester City and elwe all know the position of this team on the log. Before that was, Ipswich Town, lol. I just hope they really perform continuously in the Europa so they can win it, if not, it's really going to be a disastrous season for them.

I came to this thread specifically for Manchester United
Their fans celebrated their last win like they won the UCL
Forgetting what Manchester United has turned to in recent years
And with such performance I don't see them getting any silverware this season.
I was like let me give them the benefit of the doubt and place in win or draw
Only for them to loss and cut my slip 

A lot of people are so disappointed at Manchester United which is understandable. Losing to Wolves at Old Trafford was a big embarrassment to Ruben Amorim and the entire team. They could not score even one goal in their home in a match everyone expected them to win with motivation drawn from their last loss to Newcastle. With the result, its obvious Manchester United have given up on the premier league and put all their attention in the Europa league which they have not lost any match.

Leicester City lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool and are certain of relegation.
Liverpool will be Premier League champions if they win next week.

M.United lost 1-0 at home to Wolverhampton.
Wolverhampton have won their last 5 games. Vitor Pereira has really changed this team and saved them from relegation.
They are playing really well and winning.

Manchester United fans in my opinion had the right to celebrate just any win that comes there way and to one as important as the one which gives them a chance at winning a silverware I think it is ok. Manchester United win against Lyon was a great win that changed not only the mood of the fans but the direction of the club at the moment. The manager had decided to fully concentrate on the competition and that is why Manchester United played with a first team which had many young players.

For me the loss shouldn’t actually pressure the manager into bringing back his usual first team but rather in the Premier League he should keep this line up so that injury cases like that of Zirkzee that is out till like almost end of the season won’t surface again. The remaining league games should be played like the pre season and exciting young stars should get more minutes in this period of times.

[Pokapoka124]

I really can’t pinpoint Chelsea’s problem this season because they were playing very well in the beginning of the season. Chelsea convinced us that Enzo Maresca was the saviour brought in to take the club to the very top, only for us to be witnessing something totally different few months later. Chelsea supporters, you still think Enzo Maresca is the right man for the job?

[Luzin]

Alexander Arnold was the only scorer in this match and he amazed football fans like us with his talent. According to the status of this match, it is clear to me that Leicester City were much more focused on defense but in today's match they could not maintain discipline, as a result we see that they committed a large number of fouls against Liverpool.

Both teams won. Although Liverpool had to work hard and only make 1 goal. This means Liverpool still have to wait for one more game if they win and Arsenal win they have already locked the EPL title this season. Because there are only 4 matches left and a point difference of 13 and cannot be chased in 4 matches even though Liverpool lost all the remaining matches.

Moh Salah proved to be a much-needed main player. He is not a real striker but he could be an EPL goalscorer until this week. Moh Salah has made 27 goals. Trent Alexander Arnold who scored also played well, it seems he wants to make good memories with the EPL champions later this season.
 

I really don't know what is the problem of Manchester United they are not performing very well in the premier league but doing very well in Europa League, Manchester United has really lost form and I really don't know who to blame but for me the coach and the management are to be blame especially the management they are doing politics with everything

They are focused on the Europa League, their EPL focus just doesn't to be relegated. Mybe LOL.

I was so pessimistic when i watched Chelsea's game play at the first half, and i thought they have no chance to win. They looked bad, and toothless. However, happy with Maresca's decision to subbed in young lad, and send off jackson. It creates big difference today.
This young lad teached his senior about how to score, and happy it continues with how Neto spun like a tornado when he's scoring second goal.
They need to put their young lad, Tyrique George as a starting line up instead of madueke. I think it's working.

Chelsea did what any other team would do to make their fans happy and I believe if Chelsea did not win this game Enzo Maresca would be in trouble today because many Chelsea fans would prefer to get him sacked, Chelsea's performance from the beginning against Fulham is very poor and I think Enzo Maresca need to notice that some players that are not in good shape and they need to be bench sometimes, a player like Cold palmer need to be bench sometime because he is not having a good season, Chelsea win the game and they are in top 5 but they should be careful with their last games.

I almost lost my hope watched them in the first half, it such a terrible performance from them. Never expected they marginally improved after George subbed in. The only problem is they're still doing the same approve, and not gonna pass my eyestest.
I'm totally sold on their inverted tactic. They have to change it for the better result.
They're winning the game but still a lot of negativity showed by them. They were lucky enough to win the game through a dramatic fashion, and maybe the same thing to happen in the upcoming fixtures.
They have to change their approach like stop to use the same pattern that can be easily predicted by their opponent.

Enzo Maresca first season at Chelsea was neither great nor bad, They had some hope at the start of the season, but their performance has since declined and they are now struggling to finish in the top 5. Maresca must maintain his team performance in the remaining matches of this season to secure a ticket to the Champions League, in my opinion that is the only way Enzo Maresca can change the fans' view of him.
But the problem is they will face Liverpool, Newcastle and Nottingham in the last 5 games, this is where the coach's ability will be tested.

[Raflesia]

Wolverhampton beat Manchester United 0-1 away for the first time in 55 years. Sarabia scored the goal in the 77th minute.

Unsatisfactory results occurred again for Manchester United where they had to lose again at Old Trafford as well as their 3rd defeat in the last 4 matches.

To be honest, this does not look strange just with what they showed especially with a very good game as well as a comeback in the Europa League, there is a good hope for me that Manchester United will get a very good momentum in the EPL continuation because they certainly get a good injection of enthusiasm in this case but it seems that I think too highly of Manchester United because their mentality is still not that good for the continuation of the season in the EPL.
It seems that for now in the EPL Amorim will only do the match until the end no matter what position they get because the most important thing is relegation and focus more on the Europa League alone for now because seeing what they are doing looks that they are much more proper in the Europa league than the EPL.

I'm not a Chelsea fan, but from what I know, hardcore Chelsea fans really don't like Enzo Maresca. I will have to ask them why.
Definitely "glorious" season for Manchester United. It would be a total madness, if Amorim remains a manager for the next season. It is obvious that United is going down with this guy. There's no progress at all. The game against Lyon was spectacular, but there's simply no consistency in United's team. Maybe Harry Maguire should become the new central striker, since Hojlund can't score goals.

[aylabadia05]

I think Manchester players are having a hard time concentrating on the league. If they can't win the Europa League, this year will go down in history as a lost year.
Manchester is not playing quality football. It is very difficult for them to win the Europa League with this football.

It doesn't matter to us if Manchester United are absent in the European tournament next season because in our opinion Manchester United have tried hard to get the best results.
We win we lose all the time. About the bet, not necessarily I put it up if the chance to win does not exist.

This European League this season has reached the semifinals, there are still challenges that we must support so that Manchester United can reach the final and win the trophy. If that is also not achieved, we will not change uniforms in supporting.
This is Amorim's inaugural season at Old Trafford. So natural. I began to see Amorim dare to take the risk of playing young academy players when Manchester United lost against Wolverhampton and it was good to stare at next season.

[SmartCharpa]

In the Manchester City-Everton match, Everton showed great resistance and it took City a long time to break this resistance.
City is recovering in these weeks with the victories they have received. If Manchester City had gotten three points, it was a difficult match and it was not an easy win for Manchester City.
Manchester City could only show their quality in the last minutes.

Manchester City was lucky to win the game without conceding any goals, if it hadn't been for the goalkeeper, who saved City from conceding a goal, I believe it would have ended in a draw or defeat for Manchester City because Everton had many chances to score. Furthermore, Manchester City needs anything other than three points in any of their matches, now is the moment for Manchester City to come back and continue winning games, or they risk losing their place in the next Champions League.

I was so pessimistic when i watched Chelsea's game play at the first half, and i thought they have no chance to win. They looked bad, and toothless. However, happy with Maresca's decision to subbed in young lad, and send off jackson. It creates big difference today.

They need to put their young lad, Tyrique George as a starting line up instead of madueke. I think it's working.

Massive victory for Maresca in the second half after a defeat in the first half, I thought it would be a defeat for Chelsea as I remembered how Fulham humiliated Liverpool which is better than Chelsea. The young player came off the bench to equalize for Chelsea, and Neto secured the three points. If Chelsea survives this season and qualifies to the Champions League, they will need to sign more players to improve their performance the next season.

Manchester United is a disgrace of Club to me, Old Trafford is no longer a fortress like it used to be, now I understand why the management has a new plan for a new Stadium, I was very disappointed with Manchester United and Amorim style of play and I question his decision making, Manchester United is not a team that should be loosing games at home, I am so ashamed how a win against Lyon in the European League should be a priority for Manchester United and the way they celebrated, Now it seems more like winning the European League is a priority for Manchester united, But I still feel it will be heartbreaking the way they are playing, If they take that style against Athletic Club.

Admit it or not, after the end of Sir Alex Ferguson's era, Manchester United's main goal suddenly changed, they no longer prioritized winning trophies but prioritized commercial interests. However, it turned out to be a boomerang, because with Man United's absence in winning the EPL trophy and other prestigious trophies, it reduced the profits obtained by Manchester United, and now the team is entangled in financial problems.

Currently the team is struggling to return to its glory days, but unfortunately it was just a dream and the team never returned to its glory days.

Regarding Man United's performance in the UEL, their journey to win the UEFA Europa League Trophy this season, seems quite difficult and winding.

[Jossque]

Manchester United failed to win at home against Wolverhampton.Wolverhampton managed to win with a goal scored by Pablo Sarabia in the 77th minute and got their 5th consecutive win.Since Vitor Pereira took over the team, there is a noticeable increase in performance and we can say that he has saved the team from relegation.
Chelsea managed to come back from Fulham away with a last minute goal.Chelsea won the game with 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the second half after being defeated in the first half and managed to increase their points to 57.It must be said that Chelsea played a better game compared to their opponent.

[pawel7777]

At this stage, the winner and the 2nd place are almost guaranteed to be Liverpool and Arsenal respectively, but we might have some drama up to the very end in the fight for the rest of the Champions League zone places (3-5).
The league is not stopping, we have the last game of the round 33 today (Tottenham Vs Nottm Forest) and the round 34 starts tomorrow.
If Forest wins tonight, they'll jump up to third place.
Tomorrow, Man City is hosting Aston Villa. City are x1.85 favourite, but Villa have been doing really great lately with 5 straight league wins and they demolished Newcastle in their last game. It will not be a walk in the park for the City.

[Jossque]

Arsenal did not make a mistake away from home.Arsenal scored 2 goals in the first half and 2 in the second half against Ipswich and defeated their opponents 4-0 in total.We can say that the match became even easier for them when their opponent was reduced to 10 men in the 32nd minute.
Liverpool also managed to win by not making mistakes away from home.Liverpool, who played a dominant game against Leicester City, managed to win the match with the goal scored by Alexander Arnold.1 week later, Liverpool will play the match in which Liverpool will officially announce the champion.Arsenal will not have a chance to close the points.Regardless of the other results, if Liverpool wins the match, they will announce their championship.

Hahaha, that is really funny and are you saying all these because they cut your ticket lol though Manchester united is not really trying at all, Manchester united use to be the biggest and the strongest in England but over how many years now they have been nothing and I don't really know what is taking them so long to build back the club to what they are before now. Even after possessing Wolverhampton yesterday they still lose the match. That yesterday I thought Manchester united will win because they have lost a lot of game in the premier league and so I went to play them and Chelsea straight win but Manchester united cut the ticket.

[Velvet78]

It is only a matter of time Liverpool are declaring the title officially... Liverpool only need to beat Tottenham this week for that and congrats!

There is nothing exciting left there as a result. The competition for the Champions League spots looks way more interesting.    I feel like it will be Newcastle, Manchester City and Aston Villa making it. I thought Forest would be one of them but changed my mind.

I don't trust Chelsea with their unbalanced look...
