The list of doubtful and injured players has grown quite big over time and this could affect the general consistency of them team in the coming matches as they other may not have enough of the resting time. Regardless, I think Arsenal could win this game comfortably this evening.

Player	Injury
Kai Havertz	Knee
Noni Madueke	Knee
Martin Odegaard	Knee
Gabriel Jesus	Knee
Gabriel Martinelli	Knock
Viktor Gyokeres	Muscle
Gabriel Magalhaes	Thigh
Riccardo Calafiori	N/A

Current line up against Tottenham Hotspur few minutes later, Riccardo Calafiori already in the starting line up list and that players not getting injury yet after returning from international break match. Difficult moment for Arsenal right now after many regular players have out for several matches later exactly with Martin Odegaard have absent for several months later. But several main players have injured for long term and out several domestic league and champion league matches for Arsenal, so far Arteta tactician performing well by leading the top place in domestic league and Arsenal still not loss in Champion league.
Arteta can manage well although several players injury because Arsenal have the same level qualities teams between main and substitutes players, few minutes later Arsenal facing Tottenham Hotspur will get three points?

We saw match of Premier League which was between Arsenal football team and Tottenham Hotspur  football team. Arsenal football team was dominant in this match because they tried to make this match one sided in which they became successful and Eze was  a top performer of this match because he did 3 goals in this match and he did his first goal at 41 minutes of the match and after that we saw goal at 46 minutes and opponent team understood their lose and after that they could not stand in this match and their game was very low in this match. Eze did his last goal at 76 minutes of the match and score of that team was 4 in this match. Richarlison was the only person who did goal from Tottenham Hotspur  football team and he did this goal in the second half of the match.

I think Everton's squad quality is quite good this year. They showed everyone how to defend with ten men in this match. The players were very tired, but the victory they finally achieved made it all worth it. I'm sure the Manchester United players were very upset in this match because their opponents were shown a red card but didn't concede a goal. Manchester United players are subject to a lot of criticism. However, the manager who put them in the team may be criticized even more harshly this year, depending on the league situation..

There is one misery in the game of football which is a team trying to win against a 10 men team it is usually difficult because with a man less the club is actually obliged to actually defend throughout the game most especially if the game score line was actually a draw while with a complete eleven players they would want to take risk too and go for win.

In this game Manchester United fell into the playing against 10 men really well early into the game and I was not surprised because I know it will affect the team, Manchester United are usually poor playing against a defending team and this was exactly another game to prove that, personally after the red  card i actually thought that manager will have to change is formation to help actually to mount more pressure on the Everton defense but Ruben Amorim who at least should have canceled out the back four for more pressure on the Everton but he actually did left the team set up still the same and it was why they even hard

For me I would say it depends on the team they are playing against, some teams if you dare go a man down against them, they would smoke you and score even more goals. Just imagine a lower ranked team in the Bundesliga going a man down against Bayern Munich of today, that team will certainly concede lots of goals. I do get your stand point of it being difficult for certain teams to win against a 10 men team because they will certainly play defence against that team, but their are certain teams, if you try doing that especially when you're a man down, they will use that opening spot to punish you.

[blue Snow]

The red card situation was strange but you can't make a move like that, even if it's your own teammate. Everton managed to win despite that. Pickford made some great saves. Apart from Dewsbury-Hall's superb goal, Everton had no attack in the game. Even in that goal, Manchester United gave away the position despite closed down on defense.

I saw two interesting statistics after this game. Everton won at Old Trafford for the first time since 2013. Bad day for Red Devils. Everton also moved above Liverpool in the table for the first time since 2015, funny isn't it?

Yeah, this is a rather strange match MU lost at home against 10 players!. Both are fairly evenly matched based on statistics, but MU is unable to seize this moment to get 3 points on their home.
That something is wrong again with MU. I look, they formation team is the same as before, but there's no chemistry between each other, so always waste the ball. Also, the commotion between Everton players also cannot be exploited by MU players, this should be a moment to stub that hole.
It has been almost two years Amorim do not yet fully understand the players' performance which I think the official must evaluation the coach management. Manchester United in a deep crisis right now.

[Jostern]

Manchester United couldn't beat Everton with 10 men. Before the match, they were aiming for a top-four finish, but after this match, that goal seems unrealistic because if you can't beat Everton with a man down, then making the top four seems impossible. From Everton's perspective, they made history with 10 men. Everton defended brilliantly, keeping a clean sheet, and even scoring a goal.

I knew Manchester United are still their old self, I knew noting have changed with their performance, I have been watching them several weeks before now, and they have been playing very poorly and they are a very horrible team to watch, how do you play a 10 man Everton in the 10 minutes since they had a red card, and Everton went on to score them, after that they’ve been very horrible team with their performances during the game, it’s been a very very poor game, Manchester United are meant to beat Everton with a man down, and I didn’t see any seriousness or enthusiasm in the players, I don’t think this players knows what it means to wear that Manchester United jersey, there will be no change in this Manchester United until they sack Ruben Amorim, how does a manager stick to his game plans when he knees it’s not working for him, that is a manager that is doomed for failure.

[Bitcoin_people]

Manchester United had a chance to go to a good position in the points table but they missed this opportunity and lost their points. They could not go to the top of the points table due to their loss in this match against Everton. Manchester United attacked enough but still they could not respond to a goal. Despite having 70% of the ball in their possession they failed mainly because of their luck that they were not able to earn three points. However this point was very important for them if Man United can collect this point then they will be in fifth position in the points table with 21 points. However however it was their failure and their luck was with them due to which they lost the match.

The truth is that Manchester United is a shameless team, why would Manchester United not beat Everton that is a man down at Old Trafford, their fans was just jubilating and was very happy and excited for winning straight three games, which have never happened for a long time ago, most especially under the watch of Ruben Amorim, I knew this Manchester United are of no good, a team that is fighting to qualify for the Champions League, after seeing Liverpool and Manchester City drops points and they couldn’t take the opportunity of closing the gaps and increasing their points tally, Manchester United looks horrible to watch and it’s been going on circles for past seasons now, I wouldn’t be happy when my team couldn’t win against an Everton team that is a man down, that is obviously shameless.

Manchester United are not just good enough to hold on a winning points against Everton. The visitors was ever ready when they came face to face with the Red Devils at Old Trafford. This was more like clash of the titans because the toffees was issued out a straight red card when Gana had a heavy misunderstanding with his teammates and that alone resulted to slapping the teammates. This game was changed entirely because there's no way Everton headcoach, David Moyes would have settled for defeats. The referee Tony Harrington Qasim too harsh regarding his action against Gana or fair?

The red card alone triggered the setting up of the players. How these Everton players became serious and was ready to score another goal because the former Chelsea player,  Dewsbury-Hall bang a stunning goal. Yesterday, the work was done already because there's no way one will value ball possession over goals. Everton 3 points as they move to the 11th place on the English Premier League table.

Manchester United has lost its identity, seemingly lacking direction and purpose in matches. A match they should have won ended in a humiliating defeat. Interestingly, Everton, who visited Old Trafford, received a penalty from the referee for reckless behavior, but the Toffees managed to win the match, embarrassing the Red Devils in front of their fans.

Amorim really needs to think hard to ensure his team's consistent progress, as the opportunity to finish in the top five is still open. If they could win against Everton, that goal would certainly be achieved, but their inconsistent performances have left them with a bitter pill to swallow. It's difficult to explain what's happened to Manchester United.

The list of doubtful and injured players has grown quite big over time and this could affect the general consistency of them team in the coming matches as they other may not have enough of the resting time. Regardless, I think Arsenal could win this game comfortably this evening.

I don't really have anything to fear about this current Arsenal team because those guys are extra ordinary this season the only thing that disturb me is they should not lost this amazing form they are now, Truth be told Arsenal and Bayern Munich seem to be the more formidable team across Europe as it stands now and they can face any team comfortably without fear, and if not for Liverpool Arsenal could have been unbeaten so far, I just wish they can win the English premier League title this season I will be so pleased if that actually happens.

Manchester United missed a lot of opportunities that would have make the match easy for Manchester United to achieve another three points but they missed it yesterday to lose against Everton 0-1, Manchester United fans was very confident on that match base on what they did in their last match to achieved points that made Manchester United to come up among the top teams but this loss has made others teams points higher than Manchester United, the reason Manchester United couldn't score a single goal from that match is because Everton coach trained his players how to defeat Manchester United in a simple way, which is what they did to defeated Manchester United.

Manchester United could have moved into the top five with a win over Everton, but they squandered that opportunity by failing to secure a win against Everton. Possession doesn't guarantee victory; finishing is key, and I found the striker Amorim to be completely ineffective and unable to find the back of the net. The injuries to Cunha and Sesko were significant, as there were no players capable of replacing them up front, and I felt Manchester United squandered their best chance to move into the top five.

Yes Manchester United played poorly against Everton even when they have this great opportunity to win after Everton want down to 10 men in the first half but it isn't worth calling Manchester United names, any team can loss a game even Liverpool loss 3-0 at the Anfield Manchester City too also loss their game. This would have been a better chance for Manchester United to close the gap between them and other teams ahead of them.

Manchester United showed their incompetence by losing this match against Everton. Where Everton had a player sent off early in the game after receiving a red card and Everton became a team of 10 men, Manchester United did not succeed in multiple attacks. This Premier League club created multiple chances but they could not finish well. I knew for a long time that this team's defense lineup was weak, but after seeing their performance against Everton, I was also convinced that they do not only have weaknesses in the defense position but also have clear weaknesses in every position. Not being able to score goals with 70% of the ball in their favor in the match is an extreme failure, as well as conceding goals against such a team is undoubtedly the hallmark of an unprofessional team.

What Manchester United is doing to their fans is not fair hahaha, I saw a fan tore his jersey in a viewing center yesterday and I felt pity cause the level of disappointment those players gave him was too much, what a sad day to be a Manchester United supporter, several players are still dragging the club backwards and needs to be flushed out.
 The only player that's gave his all in that game was Mbeumo, he really tried to find the net on several occasions but Pickford was able tp save most of his shots. However if Manchester United doesn't step up their game, I don't think they'll finish close to the top four this season cause I team that couldn't beat 10 men Everton players is not ready to grab a top four spot, that was a big opportunity for them to go up in the table but they messed up.

[Velvet78]

I really don't know what to say about yesterday's game... I had a bet placed on Manchester United. After I saw that early red card by Everton I was over the moon! But it lasted until they got 1-0 ahead anyway... 

I still continued believing in the Red Devils. But man, how can you be that horrible with finishing? 1.71 xG and still 0 goal scored against a team playing with 10 players. I have to say it again, I don't like their current squad quality even a bit.

[Taricoins]

I think Everton's squad quality is quite good this year. They showed everyone how to defend with ten men in this match. The players were very tired, but the victory they finally achieved made it all worth it. I'm sure the Manchester United players were very upset in this match because their opponents were shown a red card but didn't concede a goal.

It's true that it's hard to play a ten men team especially when the team is in lead before the card, but in Man united case, it was truly despicable, how can a ten me team still score you and even had the chance to defend that goal, had it been the goal was a mistake it could have been defendable from the Man United side but its shocking how finee that Everton goal was. Man U didn't play close to okay, it was a disgraceful performance, even a complex box defense can be broken i don't even think Man United had an excuse, it's just poor management tactics for the Man United side.

[Spaceman1000$]

Manchester United played poorly again. Playing at their home ground, Old Trafford, and hosting the relatively weak team Everton. And Everton even had to play with 10 players from the 13th minute after Gueye received a red card.
But what happened was Manchester United conceded first in the 29th minute through a goal scored by Dewsberry-Hall.
After taking the lead, Everton would most likely play more defensively to maintain their advantage or secure their victory until the match ended.

Manchester united had a weak attack and a weak composure, I believe if they where playing a big club, united would have strived to be impassive, but since they thought it was Everton and they could easily win, Everton gave them the surprise defeat with a man down. Truth is that, Manchester united is full of inconsistency. The thing is that, this is the beauty of football, as the unexpected is bound to happen, however from the look of things, goin forward Manchester united will be least team I would add to my ticket.

Interestingly, Everton, who visited Old Trafford, received a penalty from the referee for reckless behavior, but the Toffees managed to win the match, embarrassing the Red Devils in front of their fans.

We have seen good performances from Manchester united before the international break. They were unbeaten in 5 consecutive matches. Manchester United won against Liverpool , sunderland  and Brighton. But now we are seeing irregular performances from the team again. Manchester United lost against teams like Everton. It is really sad. Manchester United should have performed more carefully against weaker opponents. Amorim has not been able  to stabilize the team yet. Even after giving him enough time, he could not succeed.

[maknyos]

I agree with you that that's a classic argument. I think the Premier League is also very prestigious. Although it's still lower than the Champions League in terms of prestige, it's still a league that would be noteworthy if they could win back-to-back titles.
Furthermore, as you said, they also spend a lot of money in the transfer market. Isn't that what they do to gain a foothold in these two major competitions?
I've rarely, if ever, seen a team that succeeds in the Champions League that performs poorly in their domestic league.

Every suggestions here are speculations, Liverpool spent folds of money in the transfer window to get capable players, when that happened Slot had challenges at who would substitute who. That's why the difficulty came, Sallah had Isak to contend with goal scoring, who would pass for who some fans said at the time of the transfers.

Frimpong was right-back and Slot now uses him for right winger to suit other players who he thinks would handle the right back position, he still does right-back work but joggling with right winger and back for recovery could be challenging.

Most of the wings he signed for had already nice Liverpool players that can do the job, but he sold Alnold for Frimpong, now at the presence of the new signees, they should be some team misunderstanding before they get to know themselves and make nice decisions, even Slot at the moment is meant to be confused about the right move to make with these players.

He shouldn't have trouble deciding who to field, in fact, the many options he has are something he should capitalize on. Because he can't utilize all the available options, don't blame those who say he's an incompetent coach.
Don't misunderstand what you're saying, wouldn't a more diverse selection have allowed him to do better? I actually think what he's implementing with Liverpool now isn't working, or perhaps he hasn't found the right chemistry yet.
