A bit of help, with analysing things.

Im fine when it comes to analysing a game after its over, but i'd have to say, my biggest flaw (which is slightly problematic in chess) is analysing it in the moment, so how do you analyse a game as its going on, or just in general if you wish to expand the parameters of this request.

You should come up with a plan. Think of what you want to do and base a plan off of that. Then come up with a move and decide whether it is good or not.

LjSpike, I saw on your profile that on chess.com you only play blitz. You should be an experianced player to play blitz, if not, there is no way to learn anything. My advice is to play correspondence chess, 3 days a move. And choose opponents of your own strenght or slightly stronger. Then you got plenty of time to analyse the board before you make a move.

If you like to play online chess only, try games with more time, 1 hour, or 30 min. As soon as you notice that things go better, less mistakes, you could try 15 min. games, etc.

I myself need time to analyse during the game as well. I normally got ratings CC 1600, Live Standard 1400 Blitz 1250 Bullet 900., and getting better all the time. But you see, the less time, the worse I play.

Another great thing to learn analysing during the games is to join Vote Chess games. Then you play together with the best players, and learn how they are thinking.

Hope this helps.

I agree with that. Play some slow games and I will start a new vote chess game too since we haven't one in a while

That would be nice. I am a great supporter of VC games.

So am I. They are my favorite because we can see how other people think and learn from the games. I'll link the game in the notes when it is accepted.
