Chelsea's defence last night was purely full of shit, and those guys clamouring for the manager to always make use of Acheampong, I hope they all can see why he deserves to be more on the bench than starting a game for Chelsea, because he is not mature enough to do so. A ball he would have cleared away from danger, he decided to gamble with it by guiding someone that is much more stronger than him, which led to the equalizer.
As for Cole Palmer miss in the dying minutes of the game, truly shit do happens, even him as a person was baffled that he missed such a chance that would have put the game to bed, but regardless of anything, congratulations to leeds United for putting up a very good fight, which was rewarded at the end.

You know when it comes to Chelsea defensive line, believe me you won't know how to describe them because they're just average players. There's no defensive leader in the team, nobody to control the defense line. That's why Chelsea needs to strengthen their defense by bringing in a mature good defender. As a big team you don't need just teenage playersz you need to have an experienced leader among their mix to control the game and the players minds, even in times of set pieces.

Manchester United was lucky to get that dying minute equalizer to stoppage time. However, West Ham was playing the same pattern of football with Manchester United making it very difficult for Manchester United to penetrate their defense because most of their counter attacks weren't going through. A draw is better than defeat.

I thought Manchester United would win easily but the game was really tougher than I thought. They were lucky the match ended in a draw because it's much better than losing three points. West Ham played a very good game, they played almost the same pattern as Manchester United, and that's why the game wasn't easy for United.

Manchester United was very disappointing tonight

This is why I was telling other users to keep it real about Carrick since someone was already calling him "one of the best managers in the world". Let's not forget that many times, after a change of manager, there is enthusiasm and the players want to show it wasn't their fault. Usually, after a few matches, this enthusiasm fades away. It's in that moment that we see a manager's real abilities.

You are absolutely correct and I also said that Micheal will be a nice manager but I know sometimes it is like and the way they played in their last four games was really impressive and no one expected that from them but yesterday just happened and we can even tell from the beginning of the game where Manchester united was so relaxed, no pressure and I also observed possessing game doesn't always favor Manchester united at the end and the game yesterday was so dull if you watched it because Westham knew if they rush Manchester they will score them but it wasn't really a bad result though.

Manchester United, who have had a few great matches under Carrick, surprisingly earned a point. I thought they would lose the match because they played far below their usual standards, or rather, their usual performances in recent games. The opponents deserved the win, but unfortunately they couldn't prevent Benjamin Sesko's goal and had to settle for a draw. Manchester United needs to find consistency now because they are a team in the Champions League race.

Chelsea drew 2-2 at home with Leeds United. It was an important point for Leeds, a good result as they try to move away from the relegation zone.

West Ham are currently leading 1-0 at home against Manchester United. There are more than 20 minutes left in the match. Manchester United had been in good form, but if they lose this game, it will be a disappointing defeat for them.

Chelsea screwed away an opportunity to go up the top 4 spot and settling for a draw with a relegation struggling team. A 2 goals comeback in a row from Leeds united was nothing in my wide imagination I anticipated, the 2-2 draw was completely to their benefit.

Manchester united got away from a defeat in the last minute with West Ham  in the 90+6 minutes. Sesko was just at the right place, got the ball with a beautiful tap into  the net. West Ham were very set for the game and wasn't for the improved performance of Manchester united it would have been a defeat for the Red devil.

Premier League match night 

We got five premier league games tonight, Liverpool Vs Sunderland, Manchester City Vs Fulham, Nottingham forest Vs Wolves, Crystal Palace Vs Burnley and Aston Villa Vs Brighton.

Since the Liverpool Vs Sunderland match haven’t started, currently watching the Manchester City Vs Fulham alongside the Bayern Munich game, Semenyo nets a goal already just 24 minutes into the game giving Manchester City the lead at the Etihad stadium and the performance of Manchester City is really good so far, they’ve got six shots and they also had a good chance to score but Fulham goalkeeper saved it.

If that's the case, it's quite plausible. It's similar to what happened with Real Madrid, first after Xabi Alonso arrived, and now with Arbeloa starting to fade. To say Carrick is one of the best coaches in the world is simply ridiculous. He's only been here a few weeks and hasn't achieved the same level of success as Guardiola, who deserves such praise. This is an overestimation.

We need to see how Manchester United will fare going forward, whether, as I suspect, they will decline again or whether they can maintain their position, at least achieving a top-four finish this season.

Samenyo really doing the most ever since he joined Manchester City and I know we can't compare him to Haaland because they play different positions, but boy Samenyo is a real baller ⚽⚽ but his brought some life into this team which looked like it run out of ideas 💡 . Can't believe we are about to forget about the like of Foden, Bernardo list goes on..

[Mate2237]

Manchester City is playing well in recent matches and in tonight game that is not a different story as they have taken the lead in in this first half. Scoring Three goals against a side like Fulham really shows the qualities that Manchester City poseses, this types of results mean only one thing that Manchester City is serious when it comes to premier League title. The Season is gradually coming to an end so there is no better time of correcting this error than now.



But a disappointing result from Fulham tonight, I expected that Fulham will put up a good resistance to the attack that the Manchester City will throw at them. Conceiving three goals in this first half doesn't mean well for the club.apart from Burnley leading crystal Palace by 2:3 at the dieing minutes of this first half the other games has not produced goals as they are all playing out draws.

We can't forget those who gave Manchester City all they have during this period under Pep, Foden, Bernardo, and Doku have also been outstanding performers for the last few seasons. One thing about footballers is that after a few seasons, they tend to slow down on their performance. Since joining City, Semenyo has been having quite a good performance, but we focus more on longevity.

Half time on the clock, 3:0. Manchester City already decided their victory from the first half.

Man you’ve said it all, this Chelsea defensive line is shit, they just keep disappointing game after game, it’s unbelievable how they’re performing. I guess it’s cos there’s no leadership at the back, everyone just running around making mistakes here and there. They need t solve that with a mature defender.

Manchester City are not giving Fulham any space for any thing they’re just all over the pitch and pressing their necks… 7:0 is a high score but it’s doable.

I’m not sure he’s doing the most yet, he’s doing what’s expected of him they didn't sign for fancy or to just complete the team, he was signed for a reason and he’s delivering.

He was very doing wonders at Bournemouth and tearing the EPL, so now playing for Manchester City it’s expected he does better than he did with Bournemouth. For now he’s still on the average level, he has to show us more that he’s got it.

Yeah, since semenyo come to the team, he has been positive for them and he played a good role for them, he has solve that Wing problem them and the plus thing is that, he still contributes in times of goals for the club, so they won’t be relaying on Haaland alone which is good for the team. It’s a great thing that semenyo join Man city and proved himself that he belong to the team. I don’t know but with he’s form right now he might take Man city to some level because he bring positive energy to the team and make that wing function for the club with his little dribble and using his two legs to shoot from distance.

Thomas Frank has being sacked as Tottenham head coach

-Image Edited Out-

For me the signs where already there that Frank sack was imminent due to how he has not being capable of meeting expectations of the board. This season Tottenham has won 7 games, with 8 draws and 11 losses in a total of 26 games played. That's really a bad record. Yet they seem to have a good record in the UCL but doing poorly in the EPL. Was it that Frank priority was in the UCL with little importance to EPL competition?
.

We know Spurs goal wasn't to win the Champions league even if they would wanted to, they can't because of their inconsistencies. There are games were they got a win anf they were fortunate that it was coming on the Champions league while unfortunately the EPL suffered.

Thomas Frank was good at Brentford and did start well but still couldn't keep anything for long especially after all the injury crisis. Although that is not an excuse for them to be fighting to escape relegation, this was the same issue with Ange last season and if not for their Europa league success they wouldn't have been in any Europa competition.

Liverpool and Sunderland are still having a goaless draw into the 56 minute of the game. Manchester City were able to win their game giving them three points needed to get closer to arsenal. Aston villa managed to score one goal because they really struggled to get it. Nottingham Forest couldn't even score a single goal, the game ended up as a draw and it was quite disappointing that they couldn't score.

I can tell you that for now, according to the performances, Semenyo is the best signing in this transfer window, I know some matches he completely shuts down but I really enjoy his plays when he is active, the match has ended 3-0 with Semenyo scoring a goal and an assist.

With this win, the point gap between Arsenal and Man City is just 3 pending Arsenal's match against Brentford, has Man City entered with winning streak phase?

I don’t think the defense is the only problem of the Chelsea. The lack of the inconsistency is also part of their problem and that’s why their performances goes in that way, loot at their last game Leeds could you imagine that Chelsea was the one leading them by 2 goal; and instead of them to maintain their lead so that they can secure three points but unfortunately due to their inconsistency it was not possible that’s how Leeds United take lead the match to a drew.

I thought Manchester United would win easily but the game was really tougher than I thought. They were lucky the match ended in a draw because it's much better than losing three points. West Ham played a very good game, they played almost the same pattern as Manchester United, and that's why the game wasn't easy for United.

That’s what everyone was thinking about the Manchester United, with the way their performances went well in most of their previous matches allot people’s thought about the game to be favor of the Manchester United, but West Ham in other hand also came prepared to secure a three if not be dying minutes goal that help Man United they could’ve conceded a goal.

Inplay prediction Manchester City 7-0 Fulham

7-0 was too much, and the final result was that Manchester City could only collect 3 goals in this match, that was already too great not to let Fulham have the opportunity to score a goal, there were several opportunities that were created by Fulham but none of them managed to become a goal, while Manchester City also did not have as many opportunities as Fulham, and they managed to score a goal in this match, it looks like Fulham needs to correct their attack line execution so that in the future they will be better.

The Bournemouth transfer player is indeed showing a good game, 4 matches with 2 goals currently in the Premier League and 2 matches with 1 goal in the League Cup, a good performance as a wing striker, this result strengthens Manchester City's position in second place in the standings.

[liuka]

Liverpool finally scored after a long wait, Van Dijk was the hero for this narrow lead, but I was still very disappointed with Liverpool performance, which actually could have had more than that one goal. Several chances were not maximized properly, but it was also a bit fortunate because Sunderland played quite poorly today. However, with enough time remaining, the narrow score could have changed and Sunderland could have turned things around which I didn't want, Liverpool had to win, after all they were already quite far behind the top four.

[GiftedMAN]

Chelsea screwed away an opportunity to go up the top 4 spot and settling for a draw with a relegation struggling team. A 2 goals comeback in a row from Leeds united was nothing in my wide imagination I anticipated, the 2-2 draw was completely to their benefit.

Manchester united got away from a defeat in the last minute with West Ham  in the 90+6 minutes. Sesko was just at the right place, got the ball with a beautiful tap into  the net. West Ham were very set for the game and wasn't for the improved performance of Manchester united it would have been a defeat for the Red devil.

Social media is such a funny place, someone on X said that Chelsea and Manchester United are evil twins. I don't understand why they win together, draw together and lose together as well, they're indeed funny if you ask me. Although Chelsea messed up, they had an opportunity to win Leeds but I wonder how they went from leading from 2-0 to conceding 2 goals. As for their evil twins, they'll have to look for a way to master the art of playing teams with a low block strategy.

For the fact that Michael Carrick was able to come back into that game and made it 1-1, kudos to him. I haven't mastered Michael Carrick's strategy, I am really observing the playing pattern he has adopted that has favoured him this much, that Amorim didn't use. I mean, it was the same set of players, so what was the missing piece that Amorim didn't recognize to make use of, if not that a goal was cancelled by VAT, it would have been 2-1 in favor of United.
