Even if Manchester United has plans of sacking him, they can't introduce a failed manager like Graham Potter as replacement for Erik Ten Hag. That would be ridiculous!

It actually would be ridiculous if Man United decides to do away with Ten Hag and goes ahead and selects Graham Potter to be his replacement. I wouldn’t exactly call him a failed manager although his time at Chelsea haven’t been rosy either.
He definitely wouldn’t be a good pick in my opinion. He would probably be more clueless and probably struggle a great deal more than Ten Hag has. His services as a manager would not be able to give Man United a much needed face lift.

Not just Graham Potter, they have also mentioned Gareth Southgate as potential replacement too but I find all of these as BS since Fabrizio Romano hasn't said nothing about the sack of Erik Ten Hag and also the replacement.

Graham Potter cannot win the Premier League Competition infact no English Coach has done it in history in the Premier League Competition and I would like to see him successfully doing well after his time with Chelsea didn't go well but that shouldn't be with Manchester United.
His best season as a coach in the Premier League Competition landed him tenth position, I don't know if this is what they want to entertain in the Premier League.

One thing about arsenal is that at the beginning of the season dey always play well but before the end dey will start to lose match, just check out what dey did last season even me self I almost put bet with my friends that arsenal is going to take the premier league title but to my greatest surprise arsenal could not take the premier league title. And the way am seeing their match tomorrow against Aston villa I think is going to be a though one for them, because their first match with Aston villa on earlier December last year was Aston villa 1-0 arsenal so I think this second match is going to end a in Draw match, I think the premier league title this season is going to be Liverpool or Man City.
Arsenal always have a problem with consistency and that is one of the reasons we are always fallen off the table but let's hope that this time will be different. Since they are the one topping the table currently now am getting more confident that arsenal will pull strings this period. The period of arsenal losing match is long gone. And this is a new era i don't think  we are going to be losing any game the worst that can happen is draw with all the clubs they think will beat us. What if we win the Premier League what will happen arsenal to deserve the trophy. But I don't want the reason why they don't want Arsenal to win the Premier League.

Arsenal will not give Aston villa breathing space. The session is one of the best season for top three. The outcome is what everyone is waiting for.

I think Manchester United just needs changes and a major overhaul, they are not playing very consistently this season but are always full of surprises, that's why Manchester United is a little boring this season, but I don't know who is at fault in this case, whether it is Ten Hag or the players. which is less productive, I think if next season Ten Hag is replaced of course there will definitely be newer changes to the style of play and also maybe it won't be boring let alone disappointing all the supporters, clearly this season has had too many disappointing results and seen a lot of disappointment from all the supporters .

I don't think the present crops of players Manchester United has are that bad that there should be a need for an overhaul of the current squad. What they need is just a little re-enforcement at the back and a proven striker upfront to compete with Hojllund, United should be firing on full cylinder. Also, they need a new coach, even if United makes some re-enforcement next season, I don't think ETH can make a difference. His job is currently hanging on the balance and not giving United CL football may cost him his job.

Luton is losing 0-1 against Manchester City but since it was also playing at city's home and the result is a common thing to see luton to lose in this match. City has very big chances to win in this game considering luton was not able performing even better than before.
The performance from luton is very different.

City was leading the game following an OWN goal by a Luton player and it helped city a lot. Even in the first half, Haaland missed a lot of chances. Luton can only play defensively against Manchester City. It still has zeroes in all of its statistics in this game and city is owning everything at this moment. Manchester city is trying even harder to score another goal but luton put all of its players in front off the goal keeper which is also making the game becomes even harder for city.
Manchester City is performing even better than before, but this team is always struggling with finishing. Playing without Foden is altering the situation at the club.

Haaland is losing his best form after missing numerous scoring opportunities but he has not yet given up. Haaland must return to his best form soon, as the match against Madrid approaches and he must be fully ready in order to help madrid to qualify for the further stage.
Manchester City has very low odds for this match, and I'm wondering if the club isn't as good as it was last season caused by some changes that happened at the early season.

The club appears to rely too heavily on a few players like silva and foden. The outcome of this match can be predicted easily if Luton loses to Manchester City soon. Luton has no chance to make comeback against city.

Man City vs Luton town just started now and so far is Man City 1- 0 Luton town the game is going to be a though one for Luton town because watching the way Man City players are playing I think before the end of first half is going to be 2 zero or 3 against Luton town.

because the pressure that Man City is using in this match I think Luton town could not be able to withstand Man City because their first goal was on goal by Luton town prayer.

Have you seen the Newcastle - Tottenham game? Newcastle really demolished them by 4-0. Tottenham were so desperate. They were a little better in offense in the first half at least but this was also gone in the second half. Their defending was just too bad.  Sad  van de Ven couldn't defend the last man in the first two goals and Newcastle got ahead 2-0 very easy suddenly.

We couldn't see a recovering Tottenham later on. While they are in critical weeks they shouldn't play this horrible. They are fighing for a Champions League spot against Aston Villa. They will hope for Arsenal to beat them tomorrow. Tottenham still have a missing game though but it is in their hands to make it an advantage for themselves.

In the case of Manchester United, the same thing has happened, earlier there was a different excitement to watch the game of Manchester United, now the excitement to watch the game of Manchester United does not work, it means that the popularity of the game of Manchester United has decreased. As we come to the end of this season, we will be hoping that Manchester United can plan the best from next season and deliver consistent performances.
I think Manchester United just needs changes and a major overhaul, they are not playing very consistently this season but are always full of surprises, that's why Manchester United is a little boring this season, but I don't know who is at fault in this case, whether it is Ten Hag or the players. which is less productive, I think if next season Ten Hag is replaced of course there will definitely be newer changes to the style of play and also maybe it won't be boring let alone disappointing all the supporters, clearly this season has had too many disappointing results and seen a lot of disappointment from all the supporters .

I also think that Manchester United needs new players to be able to make it stronger next season, at least replace some of the players who were less productive this season next season so that they can have the progress that all supporters hope for, I often see where many Manchester United supporters are at my country has always been the subject of ridicule by my friends, even always ridiculed with memes and so on, I know that this team was great in its time but since this season they don't look good, I definitely support changes for the better in the next season at least. The EPL next season will be full of quite tight competition.
Manchester United have good quality players and if I try to match their performance with these players I can never match their performance with the skill of the player. I would say Manchester United have bought good quality players but they are not using the players properly. With three to four regular players from Brazil performing for Manchester United, as well as having some of Europe's best players, why isn't this club performing well? Manchester United is a team that lacks enough consistency and lacks proper team management. When the team is managed properly and when the team performs consistently and plays with the right tactics, then there is no doubt that this team will be the best team in the Premier League.
So is this Erik Ten Hag's fault??
Yes of course that's true if a club like MU can get the right coach it certainly won't be this bad even though it has reliable players but Erik Ten Hag is not able to manage MU players well it will definitely only end up like a weak club without having the strength to compete. with other big clubs.
Everyone supports if Manchester United replaces Erik Ten Hag with a new coach who is better and has great experience to manage the club to become stronger.

Because Erik Ten Hag no longer has the strength to make Manchester United's performance better than before, even though in his first season Erik Ten Hag was praised by everyone but unfortunately he has not been able to maintain Manchester United's good performance until now so in my opinion MU should recruiting a new coach at the end of the season but with better experience than Erik Ten Hag.

Sure Arsenal's performance this season in the league shows how ready they are to win the English Premier League this season unlike other seasons when they will start the season with losing their first two matches then later on they will come back to winning ways and when they start getting to the middle of the season they start dropping points again, they had that similar issues last season when they were ahead of Manchester City but 10 matches left to the end of the season they dropped so many points and City took over the lead and win the league. Looking at the number of matches they have played and won and the big matches ahead of them before the end of the season,  I don't think Tottenham Hotspur nor Aston Villa can stop them from winning the league no matter where they are going to meet whether they are playing from home or away they decent performance of Arsenal only shows how prepared they are in winning any opponent they come across till the end of the season.

I will never forget what they did last season in a hurry. After which we all have the confidence that they'll be taking the top team for the English premier league title last season, they just disappointed the entire fan and even this who just supported them because Man City it turning the league into a farmers league by taking the title back to back. However all I wanted was for them to take the title and let EPL go back to the way it was were it was very competitive. Arsenal still have about 7 more matches to play before EPL Is concluded fro the season, out of which 3 are going to be tough for them, on the other hand Liverpool also seem to be the favourite of taking the EPL title but their current performance is a bit troubling, though when it comes to their remaining EPL match they are like to win the remaining games except that of Tottenham which might give them a tough time, but anyway let watch and see what the outcome will look like.
One thing about arsenal is that at the beginning of the season dey always play well but before the end dey will start to lose match, just check out what dey did last season even me self I almost put bet with my friends that arsenal is going to take the premier league title but to my greatest surprise arsenal could not take the premier league title.

It looks like the semi-automated offside technology is coming to the Premier League as well next season. As far as I can remember we saw this being used in the latest World Cup first. This is a good technology to make a decision on if it is offside faster.
I know this will be a great addition because even with VFL there are still mistakes especially with offsides. Football as well as other sports have truly been impacted greatly by technology and that is something fantastic.

However Premier League referees might still find a way to make a wrong decision though.  Tongue
Seems you don't have much confidence. This reminds me of a popular rumor in my neighborhood that Howard Webb was a Man United fans because they thought he always favor them in all the matches he officiates. I have not notice much mistakes form Premiership referees especially now that we have VFL in place. Often I usually predict what the decision of the referee will be whenever they are about checking the VFL.

Premier League referees with their selfish interest will find a way to abuse it because we have seen so many cases where the premier league referees do make errors while playing in the game and apologize after the match , but the technology works for the betterment of officiating the premier league matches.

Yes, these have even been errors that changed the direction of many matches. A goal that wasn't given to Luis Diaz vs Tottenham, a very obvious penalty which wasn't given to Liverpool vs Manchester City and many more...

I assume we are going to start AI taking over in matches instead of human referees at a point. It is difficult to predict when but I believe that it will happen. For now we have technology in football just for aiding referees. But in the future AI can decrease the error probability to even 0. If we come back to the main topic I hope that the semi-automated offside technology can really decrease the number of errors much more.  Roll Eyes

Coach Ten Hag is under heavy pressure, as MU has been playing quite poorly recently. They have little hope of competing for a position in the top 4 of the Premier League. Ten Hag could not find a solution to improve the situation. With these bad results, Ten Hag's future at MU is becoming extremely unclear. The team's leadership is waiting for the season to end before deciding on the head coach position. His dismissal is possible, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe cannot foolishly choose coach Graham Potter to replace coach Ten Hag. Graham Potter failed miserably and was fired by Chelsea after only 6 months. Graham Potter will be MU's wrong choice. Replacing Ten Hag with a coach who failed at Chelsea was a bad choice.

Whether right or wrong, MU fans want a big name to lead the team once Ten Hag leaves. For example, They like Zinedine Zidane more than Graham Potter.

If Manchester United do away with Ten Hag and choose Graham Potter over Ten Hag, that means the performance of Manchester United will be as plant with a stunted growth, you can cross check the time Graham Potter is the coach of Chelsea, was it be able to change the situation of Chelsea, the answer is no, for me Gram Potter needs more training towards coaching institute because all the time he stays in Chelsea their was nothing positive in that particular club, so if Manchester United want to be going low in every of their matches they should go ahead and choose Graham Potter over Ten Hag

I strongly agree united to sack ten hag but i also strongly disagree if united recruit another flop like graham potter with his potter ball. Potter never had an impressive result in managing the club. Even the moment when he was still managing brighton is also a common thing since brighton was at the mid.
I strongly believe recruiting graham potter means another blunder for manchester united at this moment. Potter is another flop and how can management has a logic to replace a flop with another flop?

It sounds terrible to hear that considering united needs someone who can build a perfect club efficiently.

Lol, that would be very funny if it happened and I support your opinion that it is very unreasonable even though Man United had to change their coach, not retain Ten Hag but choose Graham Potter, it's like just changing the name of the coach but the way to manage the team is the same as Ten Hag.
I just think why there are very funny rumors like this linking Graham Potter with Man United when this team needs a quality coach with very good experience like Mourinho who currently doesn't have a team to coach or Zidane who could also be given an offer but the media chose to associate it with Graham Potter.

Man United condition is currently in a very bad condition, but the management must be careful in managing finances and choosing the right coach and the right players and if management can choose the right coach, they can definitely bring in better players and make a difference to Man United performance in the future.
I would agree more if Man United tried to let Ten Hag go by making an offer to Mourinho.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
Saka should receive yellow card for diving.

Arsenal should be grateful they didn't lose that match because Bayern Munich would have scored 3 goals because Gabriel picks up the ball in penalty box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HStHyBX5owQ

This is really unfair for Bayern Munich, since we already know the quality of both teams, I won't be surprised Bayern Munich will win the second leg.

Have you seen this announcement?



It looks like the semi-automated offside technology is coming to the Premier League as well next season. As far as I can remember we saw this being used in the latest World Cup first. This is a good technology to make a decision on if it is offside faster.

However Premier League referees might still find a way to make a wrong decision though.  Tongue

I think it would be interesting if the offside technology was used in the Premier League. We saw in the FIFA World Cup that many websites were caught using this technology and many people liked it. By using this technology it is possible to catch the offset quickly, and it will be a good decision for every team, then all the players will be playing off site. However, many times in the Premier League we can see that the referee continues the game without catching this off site, which is actually a mistake. And if technology is used, it's very difficult to miss and the referee won't make a wrong decision, I think it will be great.

Even though there are still several coaches who are better than Graham Potter, why is Manchester United targeting coaches who don't have good experience when coaching English clubs, because Graham Potter has coached Brighton and Chelsea, but these two clubs also performed poorly when they coached him. Manchester United should not think about replacing the role of Erik Ten Hag with Graham potter as manager of Manchester United, it is possible that Manchester United's performance will decline further and will experience a fate similar to that of Chelsea before. Indeed, if have not tried Manchester United management will not know what will happen to club and will definitely be curious about What would Graham Potter do if he coached Manchester United to replace Erik Ten Hag.

It is true that the strategy used by Erik Ten Hag was not very effective at Manchester United, but in my opinion it is better to retain Erik Ten Hag before finding a coach who is suitable for Manchester United rather than making decisions too hastily which will cause Manchester United's performance to decline further, it would be very sad if Manchester United's performance is getting worse and they will be increasingly left behind by city rivals Manchester City who are performing well in the Premier League because they have a great coach and potential players.

I don't know if Arsenal is ready enough to become EPL champions this season because last season they failed to win it and give Manchester City another chance to become champions and get the treble winner at once, I think Arteta seems to have learned from last season's mistakes and he seems to want to make amends This season, whether in the race for the EPL or UCL title, this season at least they seem hungry for victory to be able to continue to achieve their goal of winning the EPL and UCL titles, even though the competition is tight, if they have a winning mentality it will definitely be easy to overcome.
Their performance this season is much better than the previous season. They should have no problem winning the EPL this season. They also learned from their mistakes last season and I think they are also very motivated to win the EPL. I think this season is their best opportunity. They have 2 difficult games against Aston Villa and Tottenham but I think they will be able to overcome them.
City are the biggest threat like the previous season. Most people thought City would be back to back champions after Liverpool drew against United. They have a more solid squad. Competing with City means Arsenal must win all the remaining matches to secure the title.

Sure Arsenal's performance this season in the league shows how ready they are to win the English Premier League this season unlike other seasons when they will start the season with losing their first two matches then later on they will come back to winning ways and when they start getting to the middle of the season they start dropping points again, they had that similar issues last season when they were ahead of Manchester City but 10 matches left to the end of the season they dropped so many points and City took over the lead and win the league.

The remaining matches can become the hardest match for arsenal to win consdering the fact if all of clubs will be also trying so hard in winning the game soon. Arsenal have several games left before it will able to get PL trophy and the only chance for arsenal to get its PL trophy after two decades by winning all of remaining matches.
I don't really care about what happened to the club and arsenal must put this as its main target considering that it has bottled EPL last season. It will be so damn stupid if arteta will repeat the last season's result.

As a matter of fact, I am eager to see Victor Osimhen leave Napoli because his growth is what I'm rooting for and being in Napoli doesn't seem to be enough of opportunities and future for him there. So moving him away from that place to another more comfortable place would be the best thing to do.

In Chelsea or Manchester United, Victor Osimhen will be playing with a lot of A-list clubs in the world to fight for their Premier League and subsequently Champions League competitions. But Osimhen also needs a club that is highly promising and a club that would not practice racism or discrimination against him. If I were him, any next contract I'm signing, I would probably include some clauses that have to do with identity protection amongst people.

I think most of the people that want to see Victor Osihmen move is because they want him to go to a new league or a club where he is treated equally or at least protected or supported in the face of racism from the fans. Even at that Victor Osihmen will still have to make a choice of club where is growth is also possible like winning trophies, winning personal accolades and the rest. Osihmen already had said he love the both clubs Manchester United and Chelsea because as a Nigerian he grew up with this clubs been the biggest fan base. Yes if he moves to any of this clubs he will definitely be cherished most especially if he brings the A- game or performance he gives at Napoli to the club. But right now it seems both club wouldn’t be able to get him because he is rumored to have agreed personal terms with PSG and if it’s true is still a great deal to me.

But should he decide to pick any of the clubs Manchester United or Chelsea, I will say pick Chelsea instead as they seems to be having a trouble time getting a proper striker since Osihmen’s Idol Drogba left, at Manchester United they already have a striker who to me seems like a good fit for them and will only be needing a second striker for just cup games and probably few other games. Also the clause you talk about will be great but clubs can’t signed that because they can’t control the fans who throw this racist chants at the players
