Early goal by ManU and an equalizer by Foden. It was 1-1 for quite a time. Manchester City attacking and Manchester United defending. It looked like ManU would be able to make it a draw. But with consistent attacks and Foden was able to give Manchester City at the 80th minute and with the Haaland converting a good assist to a goal in the injury time.
The game now ended as expected Manchester City getting the full points on Manchester Derby and Remaining unbeaten against ManU this season. And more importantly keeping a close race with Liverpool for the title.

The p erformance of a team is majorly decided by the kind of coach and how influential the coach is. Yes influential especially in terms of implementing his tactics and making sure order is kept in the team, this is a quality of a good coach.These are the qualities the United board should look out for in a bid to hire a new coach. When looking at these qualities the likes of Conte and Jose comes to mind and I agree with you when you have these choices.
Conte is a very good tactician and he’s succeeded in the shores of the EPL and achieving success at Manchester United who’s a big club and have the funds will be pretty no much work for him. Conte just has the right tactics and I trust him to have the perfect tactics to help this United team be in full shape and back on track. Jose on the other end was the last successful coach of this club and I think he achieved success with limited resources and him returning when he’ll have the available resources will be real one big team to watch. Jose is a specialist and is considered one of the few great coaches to grace the world of football. I don’t think Xabi to Man United will be able to work as he’s got two big clubs already bidding for him and I don’t see him having any affiliation to Man United so I think Jose or Conte will be better replacement should ETH be sAcked.

And if they're in need of a new coach, they should have known better and not to bring a coach like Graham Potter to Manchester United. What Nonsense! It's embarrassing reading such headline news about the new sporting director to be employed from Newcastle United, I don't know if this is how they Jim Radcliffe and his team plan on winning the Champions League Competition and also knocking clubs like Liverpool and Manchester City. Lol they don't mean business then.
I feel like Erik Ten Hag is doing a good job but he doesn't have the qualities and players to do that very well, take a good look at the season, he has almost a large part of his group out Injured and they want him to be sacked? They're now owners and I can't dictate for them what decision to be taken.
I wish it'll be Antonio Conte but these people and management have them own plans, they'd probably sink the club if they bring in a name like Graham Potter! Jose Mourinho retuning would even make sense. Graham Potter issa dead coach, not good enough to manage Manchester United.
Jose Mourinho? Do you think this is a joke? Jose Mourinho already had his time with the club Manchester United and wasn't allowed to do whatever he wanted. I would even consider Jose Mourinho over the so called Graham Potter's news I'm seeing close to Manchester United appointment, isn't that such a daft thing to do?
Manchester United would definitely lose lots of fans if they appoint Graham Potter as head coach of Manchester United. same coach that couldn't go pass ten with Brighton and Chelsea? These journalist are complete bastards.
Antonio Conte? Peng! Tactician and Tactically sound and great, I would love to work with such a disciplined coach.
Xabi Alonso is not amongst the names Manchester United had listed, hell No, they don't that idea to sign him. Xabi Alonso would be best off with Bayern Munich or Liverpool.

In the Premier League today, Burnley vs Bournemouth, Bournemouth team won the match by scoring 2 goals. In this match, Bournemouth team is ahead of Burnley team's point table. Because Bournemouth team's players are very good, which is why Burnley team is leading in the point table. Which of the 5 matches is Burnley team? Did not win the match.Out of 5 matches drew 1 match and lost 4 matches.
There are options such as Conte and Mourinho coming to my mind also. Mourinho already has a history with Manchester United. He said that it was one of his most difficult works to make this team finish in the second position. 
With that game plan of Mourinho it is of course difficult to succeed in this. 
His strategies are really boring truthfully.
Conte wouldn't be a bad choice in fact. He won Premier League and FA Cup titles with Chelsea before. Why wouldn't he be successful with Manchester United also?
Aside from that maybe Manchester United also would join the teams offering a contract to Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool match against Nottingham forest was so interesting it wasn't an easy ride for Liverpool but however they finally won by 1 goals ofcourse three points has been achieved.
A single goal in the plus 9 minutes for the league leaders in what I and I believe it goes the way for most of us, in what we could have expected to be an easy win turned out to be a stand threatening performance. That’s not a smooth game though they dominated and managed to win but it wasn’t anything smooth. Their position as league leaders could have easily slipped off them. I didn’t see them winning this one from how the game have treaded but, Nunez to the rescue.Spurs on the other hand was nothing short of impressive. Coming from a 1 goal down to beat Crystal Palace by 3 goals to 1, that’s just what is expected of them. It’s a game that they should win and they finally did it late for themselves.
Westham has proven to be growing thicker skin even after their 4 goal to 2 win with brenthford have succeeded in bitting everton 3 goals to 1 and currently in number 8 position probably they should be fighting to be in the Big top 4 in the table. What do you think of westham united?
I for me I believe they are going to perform wonderfully in their next match with Burnley.

Hmm in the case of De Bruyne, I wonder what will happen to Manchester city when this guy will finally retire as they are yet to get his perfect replacement
They have no choice other than get a new player that can replace him. It doesn't mean manchester city needs to get someone who will be replicating de bruyne. The club is currently seeking a player who can perform at a close distance to him, and finding someone who meets that standard would be satisfactory. I recall that there have been discussions about Dani Olmo being a potential candidate to succeed De Bruyne, however, it is important to mention that Pep's latest statement hinted at his willingness to see De Bruyne retire at Manchester City.
Having de bruyne as a veteran in the club is very important. Just like when real madrid was keeping some veteran to stay while the club was continuously regenerating its player. This is also making the situation far better for manchester city to be well prepared to face the upcoming season.
I would rather than try to keep de bruyne much longer but it's not totally wrong to sell him for 100 millions that can be used to buy experienced player which is still young enough.
But I have the same mindset as you maintain one season and bring in young players and de Bruyne can provide his experience to these young players after leaving to leave Manchester City.
I heard de Bruyne also say he wanted to play with Ronaldo, or did that mean he would go to Saudi Arabia for a big salary?
2-2 for the blues vs brentford. When it reaches the last moments of the second half, the game becomes incredibly intense. Glad to see that disasi scored another goal and it helped chelsea to avoid losing three points. It's time for chelsea to do another comeback to win against brentford.
There still additional time remaining and chelsea has another chance to score another goal. The gameplay of chelsea is always triggering viewers get their heart beat even faster than before. it's caused by this club was always doing something wrong at the late game.
Hopefully chelsea can secure three points that will help the club a lot. Chelsea really needs three points to climbing up again. Pochettino can avoid to be sacked by the club if he will be consistently winning the game. The bad result against liverpool was still disrupting the performance from chelsea.
The back played so badly as it was never able anticipating brentford's players. Brentford kept use the low block strategy to prevent chelsea get three points.
Pochettino never have good solution to fix the problem encountered by chelsea when it was facing defensive strategy. Pochettino must secure three points to make his life in the chelsea even longer after it was bottling FA cup.
Sometimes, pochettino's strategy is very hard to understand. Disasi's heroic performance in the match against Brentford not only saved the club from defeat but also left the fans completely perplexed.

It seems Chelsea would be beaten away, what a terrible team. After taking the lead in the first half, controlled most of the game, they came in to conceive a goal early in the second half and not quite long, conceive yet another goal. This was supposedly a win for them but, they might have to settle for a draw. Their mistake was letting Brentford get ahead of them in the second half.
Nottingham Forest have done a great job in holding Liverpool down to a draw. This might not be the Liverpool squad that might be very terrifying but, it’s a team that has produced results for Klopp lately and not having to beat Nottingham Forest in this fixtures is a big loss to there position as league leaders.

Newcastle vs Wolves two teams are in the field to play. Newcastle team is leading by 2 goals. I have bet against Newcastle team in today's match. It seems that Wolves team will not win. If Wolves team does not win this match then I will lose the bet so I am worried. Will lose the bet. Newcastle team player A. Isak scored the 1st goal in 14 minutes. A. Gordon scored the 2nd goal on 33 minutes.

This feat made the board grow confidence in him and released some funds for him to acquire his choice of players to enable him achieve huge success this season. The reverse became the case here as he wasn’t able to achieve anything and currently the only chance of silverware is the FA Cup where they’ve been drawn to face their arch rival, Liverpool. This kind of situation is what’s pushing the club want to get rid of ETH and want to hire a better coach for the club. Well talking about a better coach, I think they’ll need a very good tactician with wide range of experience in the league.
Yes Conte and Mourinho are very great options as these coaches have achieved hige success already in the league and achieving great success level this season wouldn’t be a bog deal. With the new management at the club, I think funds will be released for the new coach to get good players. Even if not getting new players, I think the current squad can be well managed to achieve huge success and a tactician with EPL. experience can achieve this.. I don’t think Xabi to Man United will work even if they try so it’s a NO for me.

The Arsenal squad from last season experienced little variation this mean not difference, as none of the star players were removed from the starting eleven or sold. On the contrary, Arsenal strengthened itself by acquiring Kai Havertz from Chelsea. However, other teams such as Manchester City and Liverpool remain strong contenders for the English Premier League title, being considered equally powerful as Arsenal.
Arsenal have beaten Liverpool and Manchester City this season and this indicates that Arsenal has quite strong strength. When compared to last season, of course Arsenal is much stronger this season so their current position in competing fiercely in the race for the Premier League title is decent place.However the fierce competition for the title is normal because the three teams have fairly balanced strengths and looking at the PL race from the previous season it was always fierce.
To me i don't really think the problem of this arsenal team is their mentality, no, it's not, what I feels like is their major challenge which have repeated itself over and over again is their lack of consistency in get results and putting away the smaller teams most especially, because Manchester city and Liverpool have all it takes in their ranks to fight till the end and get the results needed even when they are not at their best, but you see this arsenal team, any day they are not at their best, they find it extremely difficult to even get a draw, which they have to change if they want to stand a chance of winning this year premier league title.
This season is different, there are quite significant differences in the Arsenal squad this season so I don't think that Arsenal are not favorites in the title race this season.If we look at the quality of Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal there is no difference and even Arsenal this season have beaten both teams so they can be said to be stronger.

Manchester United wouldn't be waiting for Julian Nagelsmann to be very honest with you, these are on going speculations and they'll always be there and here until a final decision has been taken.
And even if Manchester United is to consider sacking Erik Ten Hag, I'd rather see Antonio Conte taking over than all of these coaches who are not tactically good.

I would rather than try to keep de bruyne much longer but it's not totally wrong to sell him for 100 millions that can be used to buy experienced player which is still young enough.
Regarding Dani Olmo, I'm not sure he will be chosen by Pep Guardiola as a replacement for De Bruyne because Dani Olmo doesn't actually have that good talent, it's just that he's still a little younger and that seems to be just a rumor.
To be honest, he was good enough and he was still young. While there is no shortage of exceptional midfielders, I have confidence in Olmo's ability to thrive in the role of an attacking midfielder, provided he receives the necessary coaching and development. So many times i have seen the good talent became bad players caused by it was developing under the incorrect coach.
Let's see whether that will be only a rumor or it will be coming true. I can't argue this caused by there are so many things became pep's consideration.

Mental toughness is important in most cases, not just for a footballer but in any sports. However, we need to also realize one important part about all of this that nobody really talks about. Footballers are usually not from elite circles, doesn't mean there are none, but it is usually not that common that some aristocrat would let their kid be a footballer. Which means that footballers (and most other sports aside from a few) comes from poor backgrounds, from poor towns as well, usually surrounded by people who are uneducated as well.
This results with them not really knowing how to act properly when millions are watching them, so when they have mental problems, they are not educated enough (most footballers do not continue their studies) to ask for mental help. Psychologises are not that common when it comes to sports medicine but just as a footballer may break their leg, they may have emotional trauma that they need to talk to some professional about.
In most cases, they see that as weakness because they come from a background of people who never had them one to afford mental care, and that meant that they belittled people who did, and they acted tough when things went south. So these guys, who earn millions, never learned the value of getting therapy, and how that could help them realize their own issues and overcome them.
This may result with most of them having some breakdown in some cases, or at least have trouble within their life as well. We need to lift the stigma on asking for a mental help, it should be something that would help everyone.
And we may even start it with a little bit of forced way, like hire a phycology professional for each team, and get the players to see that person at least once every 2 weeks to talk, whatever they want to talk. That way, they can at least say they were forced to participate, and not be "weak" that asked for it, and get the help. After seeing how wonderful it is helping them, I promise you that they won't be able to stop going to it.
Thoughts of them being called weak can sure affect them psychologically And as such the need to always check for a psychologist. Now for success in these fight, I think Mental Health awareness campaign should be kicked off in earnest. This awareness program will be a big boost especially for footballers who often tend to get depressed and feel so down when they even get the least thing as an injury. I also think this campaign should be kicked out also outside the world of football.
Many lives will sure be saved with this kind of awareness program amd it’ll be to the benefit of the human race. I’ll love to see improvements and I think a step in the right direction is to begin with the campaign then from there other things can fall in place. This would be very beneficial to the players and help depressed players improve their mental health.
To be honest, Arsenal just don't have it in themselves to win a Premier League title yet. 
You know how they destroyed a big chance to make it last season. I think that nobody would be surprised to see a similar ending for them this season as well. I'm saying this despite being aware of how impressive they are recently. They are one of the most scoring teams but being consistent is not a thing they are the best at.
But one thing is clear that Arteta is a great manager. I believe Arteta could be an alternative to Guardiola in case he leaves Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta off course knows the system and how to handle these lads, he did a pretty good job for gunners last season but they couldn't get it asthey failed due to depth, fatigue and Injured players absent.
Rio Ferdinand also gave his honest opinion about Mikel Arteta that he would also do a better job if he moves to Manchester United, and yeah, nobody would disagree with that.
Last season, it was depth, injuries and fatigued that made it all difficult for them as they went ahead to bottle the chances they had towards winning the Premier League Competition.
They could end up well, though the chances are still there for them infact they're also scoring good goals right now.
Against Sheffield United, I'm expecting nothing less than three to four goals scored. These gunner's are currently inna good shape.
