Chelsea are lack of consistency, imagine Brighton are able to beat Chelsea 3-0 without single equalize that’s was the very disappointing result from them. Because with way Chelsea started the season with very nice performances nobody expecting that there performance turn into the poorly where by even the league’s is not yet the middle.

And the most surprised thing is that Chelsea are make a strong performing by gathering higher possession of the ball without single goals, to be honest Brighton played admirably game against Chelsea that surprised a lot of people’s after they bring out a positive results.

What are you even saying? I wonder how football fans view and watch football.  Anyone can just come on here to say or write whatever without facts. They don't have consistency issues,  what they have got to be both injury issues and also tactical approach from the manager. The absence of certain specail players in that squad has affected them from defense to midfield and also attack. Also, how Cole Palmer has been utilized hasn't gone well with him. I don't know if the manager is blind about that. It's funny to see what they've spent and how they've struggled to remain in top 4. Bournemouth are buzzing and today was another day to see them run down Southampton.

It seems that at the beginning of the match Manchester City was not calm in their performance, they seemed to be in a hurry. Previously, Guardiola had anticipated that his squad had to be able to handle Newcastle's good trend. And in the 18th minute Marmoush was clever in finding a gap so that Ederson could provide a beautiful breakthrough and ended with a goal. And not long after, Mamoush managed to score again. After a few minutes, Marmoush scored again, it seemed like this was his and his team's lucky day. Hattrick for Marmoush!!
With the second half, Newcastle was quite consistent with their performance to withstand attacks from Manchester City because they could only score one goal in the second half and the score lasted until the end of the match.

Manchester City came out to play with annoyance after losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League and after realizing that they no longer have big chance of reaching the final stage of the Champions League competition; Therefore, I see this victory as wake up victory to try to see if eventually they will manage to catch up points with Liverpool before the end of the season, I wasn't expecting them to win with such goal margin over Newcastle United today. Let's watch and see what they're cooking up for and if they will be able to keep up with this energy they played with today.

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.

The hunger to score was all over O.Marmoush. He got all three goals in the first half giving Newcastle no hope for a comeback. Sorry you lost your bet that's why it's called gamble there is no guarantee in our bets. I didn't bother adding their game to my bets because at some point I became indecisive on what to predict.

Manchester City are testing a good formation they can possibly use on Madrid in the return leg and this team seems fit to take up that challenge at Santiago. If they can be as composed are they were in this match they can pull out two straight goals without any reply from the home team.

Manchester City played a very good game especially against a strong opposition as Newcastle,  but to beat them 4nil was something I didn't see coming,  knowing very well that the citizens are very terrible when it comes to defending,  but today they were excellent in all areas with Marmoush been the headline!! Btw Ederson played well too, and a goalkeeper to come out with an assist speaks volumes,  hope we get to see more cleansheets as they try to play catch up with Liverpool & Arsenal who seem to be the worthy title chasers at the moment.

GG Citeh,  we await to see how you play against Real Madrid  in the reverse fixture

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.

It was very reasonable to bet on Manchester City in today's match, I took that chance too. Manchester City did not disappoint their fans in this match, but they played very comfortably. Manchester City tried to perform with an aggressive attitude in this match, they have already succeeded in the effort they made and they have also been able to achieve good results from it. Today they won by a score of 4-0.

The most surprising thing about today's match was that a Manchester City player was able to score three goals, meaning that Manchester City player scored a hat-trick today. Currently, Manchester City is slowly starting to climb up the points table, Maybe they will be able to put on a more spectacular performance.

I'm surprised you bet on Newcastle because it is clear that Man City is a stronger team. It is also an important match for Man City to maintain their position in UCL zone, so they must play all out to get full points. Considering these matters, you actually should understand that Man City should try to win the match with their strength. Even if there were some changes on the starting lineup, it was probably an effort done by Guardiola to make the game be more effective for Man City. It was also needed to anticipate injured problem before the next matches against some strong teams (Real Madrid, Liverpool, Tottenham). By the way, it was surely a great performance showed by O.Marmoush. He could show it again in EPL, he didn't only play impressive in Bundesliga. Scoring 3 goals today is a clear sign that he has nice ability. I think he deserves to put on the starting line up against Real Madrid in Leg 2. If his performance is satisfying, he can be also in the starting lineup again against Liverpool or Tottenham. Man City needs a player like him who can score goals.

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.

In current form you can't tell me that between Manchester City and Newcastle United that city is a stronger opposition to Newcastle I didn't agree with you because city is one team that has become a shadow of them selfs and you can't even tell any team that they can convincely win as they have been struggling and inconsistent with their performance today's win for city was just a good game that they have but don't say that city is better than Newcastle by current form

What is the criteria that you used in concluding that city is better than Newcastle because Both teams are struggling over who will make a top four finish at the end of the season if you say that Manchester City is getting back to form I will agree with you but don't say that they are better than Newcastle by current form

Manchester City winning Newcastle United 4:0 is a big surprise to me, Manchester city did very well and I'm happy for them they should continue being consistent in there game, I believe so much in pep guardiola his doing very well and making sure that his team comes back and that is what he should focus on, however I don't think they can win the premier league this season because Liverpool and arsenal won't give them that chance and since they are still struggling to come back to form it will be very difficult for them, Liverpool is passing arsenal with just 4 point arsenal is very close to Liverpool and if Liverpool should make any mistake arsenal will take over and stay at the top, for me this seasons premier league title is between arsenal and Liverpool and not Manchester City I don't see any chance for them winning the premier league title however if Liverpool lose form they may have the chance of winning because arsenal are not always consistent and even if they have a chance they can still not make use of the chance, lack of consistency is what has prevented arsenal from lifting the premier league title for 2 season's now.

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.

I was also thinking Manchester city will lose their match today, and not because of their next champions league match, but because of their poor performance recently. Manchester city performance has been so poor recently, and getting a win in matches is always difficult, so I was expecting a lose in their match, since they are playing against Newcastle, which their performance has been good a little bit recently, they are also fighting to climb the table to higher position, Newcastle will want to end the season in top 4 also, which is just going to be difficult for them.

[red4slash]

Rashford just made a nice free kick for Aston Villa aiding the 1:1 equalizer against Ipswitch, the match have been quite interesting, considering the red card on IPS a reason for AVL to level up and win the game but time may be a barrier. As the 10 men team now work on playing defense and securing the draw, instead of conceding another goal. Yet, hope exists for them to score if Aston villa makes an error, though their chances are low on that, based on the pressure Aston Villa is placing on them.

His debut with Aston Villa was quite good for the individual he played although indeed in the debut match he did not succeed in bringing Aston Villa to 3 points because they were held 1-1 in this match but I think by looking at what he did on the field was actually quite good even the free kick that made the ball successfully maximized by Watkins to equalize it was very good for the debut match he ran.

But in this case I also have a situation that ultimately becomes a rough conclusion that it does not mean bad players for Manchester United but indeed the ability to find players and game schemes that must be further improved because some of the players who left such as Rashford and Antony started very well at their new clubs even Antony also rediscovered his rhythm with 2 matches 1 goal and even became Mvp at Betis so it does seem that there is currently something wrong in the Mancehster United system that cannot develop players to their perfect form.

He probably thinks there's no point in the team resting and it's better to play the match and improve or work on some skills that can be used in the match against Real Madrid. Or, one of the worst options is that they resign themselves to a Champions League exit, which is unlikely. They've always had a tough schedule, so I'm sure they've got it all figured out

[Docnaster]

I didn't watch Chelsea vs Brighton but I'm surprised to see Chelsea failed to register a single shot on target with 70% possession. Sancho was trending again too.

Anyway, 9 points from the last 9 games in the EPL is certainly a bad thing. Their form is terrible and Maresca needs to find out how to break this trend quickly. I understand it's probably harder to do so because his players are so young. Having some older players with lots of experience will probably help at times like this. CMIIW.

Chelsea this season have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the England Premier League. In a season they started so well that many of us started considering them as one of the top contenders for the English Premier League title, Chelsea are now struggling to finish the season in the top four. Enzo Maresca seems like manager who doesn't actually know what he wants for himself to be honest because tell me how Chelsea would suffer back to back defeats against Brighton.
Brighton fans had to chanting that they'll want to face Chelsea as their opponents in the remaining fixtures of the season. Fabian Hurtzler is doing amazing job with the Brighton side though he's actually doing that with an average set of players.

I wouldn’t put it that way. In fact, I would say, Pep is actually deciding on what’s more important to him at this point. Having an unstable team such as his got in his current Manchester City go try to win 2 goals away to Real Madrid or take their chances in a penalty shootout in the UCL or do some good in the EPL by taking points off those at the top while negotiating for positions from the bottom, now that Chelsea is fumbling at most. I guess he chose the EPL as, that’s where he could get some results and chance at something good next season.

He appeared very confident last night.
Since the beginning, Omar Marmoush very actively looking for a ball, he kept giving the signal to pass a ball to him when the city player held it, so after Omar got it, he shot it immediately, and his best chance he got in minutes 19, and so on. It seems Pep implements his strategy to accommodate him as executor. We can see Foden is a bit slightly behind, Foden acting to confuse Newcastle's defender, and give a chance to Omar Marmoush to accelerate on front. This is the old strategy he used which is most likely he will use again in the next match, but it's very readable if he wants to apply to the leg 2 Champions League.

[LUCKMCFLY]

And this season everyone is complaining that Manchester City is not doing well and a lot of people are putting blame of pep and it is not actually okay when people blame you just because the club is not doing or performing very well and at some point it was even looking better but will not account for anything again because of how people have been blaming pep for everything and I don't think that should be a problem because he act as one of the best coaches so he should not worry about those comments.

Well, the truth is that things are difficult, there will always be someone to blame, for me the most to blame are the players, not the coach, it has been shown that Pep is very good and has a lot to give and apart from everything he always achieves very good results despite being in crisis.

City is one of the teams that has the most respect in the PL, the fact that it is doing badly right now does not mean that it will be forever, I personally think that the PL has slipped out of Pep's hands this season, but even so I don't see that it is his fault.

Initially that is what I thought was going to happen in that game ( Newcastle will win the game) but when I checked it properly later i found out that is not going to be possible and before I could go back to login my account to play Manchester city to win Newcastle they have already scored one goal and the odd reduced very small so I was unable to play it yesterday. It was indeed a great performance by Manchester city yesterday and they have occupied the fourth position in the premier league table and Nothingham forest if they are not careful they will be displaced very soon.

Man City are desperate to get a win over Newcastle after being humiliated by Real Madrid at their home ground in the previous match. They managed to do it with a convincing score, the victory also became a motivation for City players to make a comeback in the 2nd leg of the UCL play-off round.
Man City players really showed an extraordinary performance when they beat Newcastle, green rating for Man City players, I hope they can do the same at Real Madrid headquarters.

It was a too easy win for Manchester City unlike my expectations. I thought Newcastle would make big difficulties for them and we would watch an interesting game. However it was a one-sided game from the beginning already. And Marmoush of course... He was unbelievable! Making a hat-trick shortly after joining the team was impressive to watch.    I'm looking forward to watching Salah vs Marmoush next week. But probably the winner of the duel would be Salah considering his insane performance this season.

After this result, Guardiola's students are up at the 4th position again. They really have to battle hard for a top 4 spot as the points are too close to each other. Besides they aren't consistent as well.

Rashford wasn't feeling himself at Manchester United, his performance leveled up in Aston Villa, and with the right training, he could make up for his underperformance while in Man U. However, the team struggled to equalize with Ipswitch 10 men, they wouldn't stand a chance if the playground was leveled. Villa must work on their team work and push for strategical strikers, that should make winning possible in games like Yesterday.
