It is even said that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will back up Erik ten Hag despite this poor season. If this is really true then I don't know what kind of a season is waiting for us next time. Maybe the new owner would be more helpful for Erik ten Hag to transfer the players he would like to build a good kind of a squad for his system. This can change everything.

Because normally Erik ten Hag isn't a bad manager. We all know what he did at Ajax before coming here. He had a quite successful time period there. I'm just curious about the new owner's future plans. I hope Manchester United start to use their money more efficiently instead of spending a lot on an unreasonable player.  Roll Eyes

Whatever he did aside now, he had a great season last year as he brought Manchester United into the Champions League Competition and also won a trophy.
I know he is a very recalcitrant manager because if he had listened to the advice of former Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal he wouldn't have been suffering all these. He was pre- informed about joining Manchester United and hoe they don't back managers. ( Fvck around and find out, Yeah ? )
INEOS are poor as fauck if they have planeoof bringing in Gareth Southgate or Brentford head coach ad replacement for Erik Ten Hag. Screw them!!

Fvck Jim Radcliffe, he is nothing but a huge talkative. Nothing much to say, we'd prolly wait until next season to see whatever charadeetjry have to display.

Brighton has put up quite a tough fight, but Liverpool's quality is much better than Brighton's, so it is difficult for them to get points at Anfield stadium.
Liverpool played very well, they only conceded in the early minutes of the match so Welbeck was able to score a goal in the 2nd minute.

A very important win for Liverpool to stay on the winning track this season.
Liverpool are now at the top of the standings and they will wait for the results of the Arsenal vs Manchester City match and if the result of the match is a draw or Arsenal loses then this week Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League standings.
It was an entertaining game for a neutral fan. Both teams built great attacking display against good defensive setups. Brighton put valiant efforts, despite having four injured regular players, that succeeded at their first effort, scored at second minute. But Liverpool seemed clearly have superior quality to Brighton. Being conceding first has become the norm for Liverpool this season, but their strong performance always makes up for it.

The win was crucial for Liverpool, not only to maintain their winning momentum but also to reclaim the top spot in the standings. They now sit at the top of the Premier League table with draw became the outcome of the Arsenal vs Manchester City game. Consistency and maintaining pressure on their rivals will be key for Liverpool to navigate the remainder of the season. The three teams have to win every remaining game now. Every win is significant in the fiercely competitive Premier League race.

What was that? Manchester City's performance was just terrible. They weren't playing like a team that want to be champions. Arteta once again didn't lose to them this season. He collected 4 points from his teacher Guardiola in 2 games. This is really good statistics against the most powerful team of the league on paper you know.  Smiley



Just check out these statistics. Only 1 shot on target for Manchester City... Haaland was even lost in the game, did you see him?  Grin  This happens in nearly all of big games. Haaland just can't play effectively.

I must admit Gabriel - Saliba duo did a mega job at defending Manchester City attackers - especially Haaland.  Wink

The game was actually tough because the Arsenal defence was so strong that it was so hard for Manchester City to break into, and many thought that Manchester City would win the match and get more points than Arsenal, which are at the top of the list, which Liverpool has already done.
 
But what is supposed to be put into consideration is that Arsenal have been playing very well lately, so I can say that they are already ready for the Champions League, and if care is not taken, Arsenal can win the Champions League trophy, because they mean it this time they are ready to face any team in any league, which makes me have that much hope in them, so to me, I see no fault in Manchester City because it is a game and normally it does happen.

Neither City nor Arsenal performed flawlessly in this match and yeah this match has ended without goal which was very disappointed to mee. Manchester has performed so badly and it was also continue in the match against arsenal even haaland did nothing in this game. These clubs were trying to play safely. This explains why there were fewer goal attempts in the game and people were not expecting this to happen. Arsenal was only concerned with defending against City and it's going to be fully defensive against manchester city, and it was waiting for the right moment to launch a quick counterattack against Manchester City but this moment came twice for a whole game and arsenal was also unable to score in this game.
The loss of Walker and Stones was a major setback for the city caused by there was no good and fast RB like walker who cana lso help city to attack, and it nearly cost them the trophy since liverpool is just getting unstoppable. Having Haaland and De Bruyne in the game wasn't enough to propel the club to three points. Liverpool is now leading the competition, with a wider lead over City and Arsenal.

It feels as if Liverpool will be unbeatable until the end of the season. I didn't see Haaland in this game, and he appeared only rarely. No club was willing to put their team at risk just to score. The city was also too slow in making the decision.
Even this club only had one shot on target against Arsenal, which was very disappointing. I'm not sure why, but City lacked creativity in that game.

Haaland was not fully exploring his options. This is also a bad result for Arsenal, as the club is now two points behind its main competitor, Liverpool. Arsenal fans may blame their coaches for the team's lack of success due to Liverpool's performance.

Waiting for that moment to happen again in the future.

Biggest flex today was Liverpool winning, taking all 3 points and going on top of the table while City and Arsenal both lost 2 potential points. With only 9 matches left to be played, it means that every single game from now to the end of the season is crucial and a MUST WIN for all teams involved. This has to be one of the best title race in recent years with 3 teams fighting for it compared to the usual Liverpool vs City title rivalry we have had in recent years.
Literally its been long the EPL was this competitive, how I miss those moments but Thank God we have it this season. Man City vs Arsenal game ended in the least I expected,  I thought would have won the game  since the title race was fierce but more now. LIverpool benefited from this draw more. I guess I can say outside the injury crisis matches has really been going well for their favour.

I was very skeptical about yesterday game between Manchester united and brenthford, brenthford are very good having a hot matches when it comes to big teams,

When I saw the first half o ..o draw I knew is never going to end well oh no Manchester united disappointed me not even when they could not hold the goal they scored at the extra time where brenthford had to equalized just after three minutes, thou it didn't hurts me that much because I already knew that is not going to an easy ride for Manchester united.

When I saw the 2.02 odd given to Manchester United, I had some doubts but I still went ahead and included it my bet. Sometimes, I ask myself if bookies do have foreknowledge about some games, because the big odd given to United could be to deceive bettors. Imagine after Mount had scored in the 96th mins, you'd think the game has ended, only for Brentford to pull one back two minutes later to make sure the match ends in a stalemate.
This is among the amazing/unexpected moment in football that makes it more fun though I did not follow up the match but everything about this game was shocking especially from the fact that Mount got his first ever EPL  of the season yesterday and the game still ending in a tie even when yhis goal came by 96mins of the game but base on stat Brentford were pretty wasteful though I`m curious of what will be the turn of event for Mason Mount  in their next game against childhood club definitely he will be booed by fans

Maybe you didn’t watch the match, because if you watch the match you won’t have said Manchester City performance was horrible today. All what you are talking about is the 1 shot on target which they had, but if you watch the match, you will see the pattern of  football which Arsenal played, they played a defensive game which didn’t give Manchester City opportunity to get to their goal keeper. If you check the possession, then you will see that Manchester City dominated the match, but they couldn’t get the opportunity to score in the match, I won’t really say Manchester City performance was bad in the match.

If Liverpool succeeds in winning the Europa League then they will qualify for the Champions League playoffs. However, if Liverpool manages to finish in 1st to 3rd in the Premier League, they will automatically qualify for the Champions League group phase. Liverpool may appear to have a better performance than their rivals in the Europa League but I think becoming the European League champion is not that easy because AC Milan, Roma, and Bayer Leverkusen are opponents who could become obstacles for Liverpool. But first, they have to get rid of Atalanta, which is also not an easy opponent to beat.
Actually, I'm not too worried about getting rid of Atalanta in the UEL because for me Liverpool has a much better performance than Atalanta in terms of the performance of the Liverpool players who are much more superior when they have Moh Salah.
For me, Liverpool's toughest opponents in the UEL are just a few of the clubs you have mentioned, such as Leverkusen, Roma and Milan, which could get rid of Liverpool if Klopp doesn't use the right strategy or tactics.
If Liverpool fail in the UEL this season, at least Klopp's troops can still get tickets to the Champions League in the following season to finish in 2nd or 3rd position and be able to compete again in higher competitions.
The reason I say Liverpool can at least get 2nd or 3rd place is because it will definitely be very difficult to get 1st place as long as Manchester City still has reliable players.

Watching until the end of the match, it was true that the result was a draw, Arteta seemed to be really good at managing strategy and tactics. They were very strong at the back and the defense was difficult to penetrate even though there were opportunities to score goals and there were gaps but it didn't seem easy to score goals against Arsenal, Manchester City. played very optimally but they have not succeeded in getting full points. It seems that Manchester City will have difficulty catching up because Liverpool won against Brighton and are at the top of the standings at the moment.

Manchester City had to be satisfied with a draw and it seems that Arsenal played defensively for a draw. It can be seen from the start of the game until the end that they didn't attack too much and always failed while Manchester City always pressed but didn't produce a single goal against Arsenal. Arteta seems to have directed For his team to play defensively, it is very difficult to see the back line which looks tight so it is difficult for the Macnchester City front line players to penetrate and it is even difficult to get space to shoot at the goal. lol this match is very predictable

In today's match of Liverpool vs Brighton two teams, Liverpool team won the match by scoring 2 goals. Brighton team player D. Welbeck scored the first goal in the first 2 minutes of the game. After that, Liverpool team player L. Díaz scored the first goal in 27 minutes and  M. Salah scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes. If we look at the points table position of the two teams, Liverpool team is in 1st position and Brighton team is in 9th position.
Brighton has put up quite a tough fight, but Liverpool's quality is much better than Brighton's, so it is difficult for them to get points at Anfield stadium.
Liverpool played very well, they only conceded in the early minutes of the match so Welbeck was able to score a goal in the 2nd minute.

A very important win for Liverpool to stay on the winning track this season.
Liverpool are now at the top of the standings and they will wait for the results of the Arsenal vs Manchester City match and if the result of the match is a draw or Arsenal loses then this week Liverpool can return to the top of the Premier League standings.

For Manchester United, I'm locked in with Erik Ten Hag as the manager for them next season. If a big name like Sir Alex Ferguson would support and back Erik Ten Hag, then it's already noise and hullabaloo listening to the whatever sky sports and the media has to say.

It is even said that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will back up Erik ten Hag despite this poor season. If this is really true then I don't know what kind of a season is waiting for us next time. Maybe the new owner would be more helpful for Erik ten Hag to transfer the players he would like to build a good kind of a squad for his system. This can change everything.
There will be a new owner since Glazer will still own the majority of shares in Manchester United. Sir Hjim will only buy up to 35% of shares from Glazer, and he will also try to get his people to be a part of Manchester United in order to control the club's activities.
Ten hag's future will be fully determined from the result of sir jim's decision. That's why Ten Hag has been fully preparing himself when he must be leaving the club too. Ten hag needs to fully prepared when he will be fired from united.

Because normally Erik ten Hag isn't a bad manager. We all know what he did at Ajax before coming here. He had a quite successful time period there. I'm just curious about the new owner's future plans. I hope Manchester United start to use their money more efficiently instead of spending a lot on an unreasonable player.  Roll Eyes
How can you call that if he was not a bad manager? I would say that if he was  bad - average manager. I see nothing special from him. Sir jim probably has a serious plan to rebuild manchester united. The first thing that must be done to replace the coach first.
It's caused by coach is the only way to control your club. You need a very good coach to handle the big club like manchester united.

If I were Liverpool official, I would try to contact Diego simeone to replace Jurgen Klopp, because when I look at Simeone's coaching style is very suitable for Liverpool's atmosphere and players. He is also quite strict in training player discipline, so the players will remain in their starting position when they penetrate forward. This is quite a good thing, because Liverpool played quite offensively, and maybe this is the most appropriate solution. But, the problem is, is he willing to leave the Atletico where he coached for years?. as a coach, he must to try many things to hone his abilities to face football competition.

You think very vast because I just come to realize that Diego Simeone can be a good replacement for Jurgen Klopp due his ways of coaching and the pattern of Liverpool’s football; but don’t you think he will make Liverpool to be less competitive in terms of title challenge?
He is a defensive minded coach as we have seen how he has been in the Laliga several years without winning the Laliga title because of Barcelona and Madrid, where we know how competitive Premier League is as any team can torment you to delay your success. If there is no other option for Liverpool, he can be good replacement despite him been a defensive minded coach, and he is also an olden days coach that is yet upgrade to the modern way of coaching; but Premier League might change him.

Currently Ruben Amorim (Sporting), Thiago Motta (Bologna), Roberto Di Gerbi (Brighton), Une Emery (Aston Villa) and so far 12 clubs have been named by Video. . To replace Klopp next season, but from the existing name, of course I would personally take Liverpool as the club for the season as a Uniire club, because of the good experience of building the team so far,Yes, warning Aston Villa started to fall due to this inconsistency which is temporary, but I think a team like Unai Emerpu can lever where great, of course Unai Emer's lever can maintain the club glory.

Erik Ten Hag or Roberto De Zebri would do grand. But how good is Zebri if he handles a top club like Manchester United?

Yeah I have doubts about how capable De Zerbi would be about managing a much bigger team in the Premier League. He is shown as a candidate for Liverpool's next manager at the same time. However Brighton are the first team he is managing in this league now. Before this job the biggest team he managed was Shakhtar Donetsk.

Manchester United and Liverpool both had better be diligent about their next choices to not regret for that later on. There should definitely be better choices than De Zerbi for these teams as well.

For Manchester United, I'm locked in with Erik Ten Hag as the manager for them next season. If a big name like Sir Alex Ferguson would support and back Erik Ten Hag, then it's already noise and hullabaloo listening to the whatever sky sports and the media has to say. I'm so disappointed with the names tjrynhave mentioned to be in line for the job.
They're not good enough not to talk about what's they have achieved personally, individually and also in them managerial experience. They have nothing to showband prove.

Roberto De Zebri did a good job with Shakhtar Donetsk, Yes??
He won Real Madrid in the group stage of the Champions League Competition and I'm sure he would do well if he handles Liverpool but so much pressure comes with handling that club.

What happens if Liverpool wins europa, which is direct UCL, but also they are in top four as we know, so they are going to UCL anyway. I am not entirely sure if that spot goes away, like they just get one, or does that mean fifth of Premier league goes to UCL? Not really well versed in that regards.

In any case, there is no guarantee that Liverpool would win europa, there is a possibility that they could lose along the way. Yes they are the better team, but check the past five years and quarter finals till finals, you will see many good teams end up losing to unexpected teams (mostly to sevilla lol) so you will realize that Liverpool may not end up winning at all. That means nothing will change with the situation.
If Liverpool succeeds in winning the Europa League then they will qualify for the Champions League playoffs. However, if Liverpool manages to finish in 1st to 3rd in the Premier League, they will automatically qualify for the Champions League group phase.

Currently the media continues to link Ruben Amorim (sporting), Thiago Motta (Bologna), Roberto De Zerbi (Brighton), Unai Emery (Aston Villa) and even so far there are 12 names of coaches who are predicted by the media to be able to replace Klopp next season, but from the names of the existing names, of course I will personally choose Unai Emery to be Liverpool coach next season,  Because after all, Unai Emery has good experience in building teams so far, yes, maybe Aston Villa is starting to fall at this time because of their inconsistency which contains makeshift players, but I think if Unai Emery can coach a team like Liverpool that contains great players, of course Unai Emery will be able to continue Klopp glory later in Liverpool.
If I were Liverpool official, I would try to contact Diego simeone to replace Jurgen Klopp, because when I look at Simeone's coaching style is very suitable for Liverpool's atmosphere and players. He is also quite strict in training player discipline, so the players will remain in their starting position when they penetrate forward.

But, the problem is, is he willing to leave the Atletico where he coached for years?. as a coach, he must to try many things to hone his abilities to face football competition.

I personally don't see Simeone as the right choice, indeed I admit that Simeone is a pretty good coach with Atletico Madrid but do you like the brutal style of play that Atletico Madrid has often demonstrated so far?
Indeed, there is nothing wrong with having a hard game and relying on physicality in football, but leaning towards it actually harms the team when they are hit by card penalties in the game, to be honest, bringing Simeone to Liverpool will only damage Liverpool's style of play so far and besides that Simeone is indeed able to bring Atletico to compete in the top four so far but not to win the league.

But fortunately we are not part of Liverpool's management which maybe our decision will actually make Liverpool ruined in the future Grin , but I think right now Liverpool are in the process of approaching with several coaches, so maybe in the near future we will hear who the prospective coach who will coach Liverpool, btw now it is reported that de Zerbi is still turning down a contract extension from Brighton on the grounds that he wants to see the vision of the Brighton project next season,  Could this be a sign that De Zerbi will coach Liverpool next season?
