You blame Andrea Onana when Manchester United fails to keep clean sheet, but you praise the defenders because of the clean sheet they had during the last game. Don't they both work hand in hand?
Just to wrap it up, in the absence of Lisandro Martinez, Manchester United defense has got to be the worst defense in the Premier League Competition. This shows how important Lisandro Martinez is to Manchester United. His absence now once again is a huge problem for Erik Ten Hag and the United defense.

I won't lie, I had the same idea but je is in charge, if Manchester United have had a good defensive system that'll complement Onana for
two to three, then you'll see how he gradually picks up a good form.

I think that keep trusting him to be a manchester united coach was obviously a crime. Onana never made any improvement and he was getting star syndrome otherwise. It can be seen from his attitude to the his teammates in the AFCON. I have seen that a few times onana blamed his teammates for his mistake.
His attitude is questionable right now. Im also concerning about how poor his performance is, lack of response, lack of attitude, lack of respects to the his tema mate. No reason for manchester united to keep this goal keeper but ten hag had been scammed by intermilan to buy him with a very expensive price.

It's not the right decision to keep him to play in the club much longer. Onana needs to be benched and manchester united need to recruit somene who can perform like vicario or city's goal keeper. Onana was obviously useless goal keeper ever joined in MU.


Holidy would never help him coz onana never had intention to improve himself. Im seeing this caused by onana has been so terrible and this is the main problem. He never able to keep his performance better. I see no reason to keep him in the squad.
Manchester was just suiciding itself by keep him much longer in the squad. I can't even put respect to the ten hag caused by this. Many fans were demanding him to leave from the club.

MU needs to get a better goal keeper than him.

the results of training graham potter and pochetino are not much different. both from the total number of points and in terms of ranking in the standings table. the difference is only that pochetino has not been fired and pochetino has a big name and has coached big clubs like totenham hotspur and PSG.

It was not so optimal as you said. The situation was already bad enough, but it was made even worse by the fact that Nunez was missing. Among the players, there was not a single individual who possessed the skill to dribble the ball and score unassisted. Nunez was really working caused by he was fast but since liverpool doesn't have him play for the club and this has become the main problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible.
Im sure that if liverpool would able to play better as long as nunez and salah was there but liverpool needs to let three points go away from club caused by it was not performing good enough in this match. The situation would be different if there were nunez and salah in the club but since it's already passed and we must move one with the hope to see liverpool to be in a better form compared to the match against arsenal. Liverpool needs to have nunez and salah in the big match against the strong team. The match against liverpool has proven that if liverpool was not able creating effective counter attack without good attackers.
Salah and nunez have become the key owned by liverpool to win any games. Missing them will be another disaster for the club caused by i do know that how important those guys for the club. This is why people are always skeptic when club played without them all.

Onana is a good goalkeeper; he simply is not good enough to keep for Manchester United and believe me there’s no crime in that. The goalkeeper is struggling to perform or show quality signs under pressure at old Trafford and As so far conceded as much as 45+ goals this seasons already

A shameful Caf afcon tournament as well; perhaps holiday would help the Cameroonian

The case of Onana seems to be very drastic and will likely gona continue so for a long time. Since the media has marked him and he is now the topic of the media, whether good or bad. What I mean is Onana cannot be exempted by the media. So, Onana should try to manage the situation and remain relevant.

Onana is not a bad goalie but what I will say without fear is that the standard of performance of Onana is reducing gradually. I don't know if he will return to form any moment.

Onana performance has reduced quite poorly since he got to Manchester United and this is quite worrisome. He’s not performing up to the expectations they had while signing him as he has kept on conceding goals. Not just conceding goals but conceding cheap goals and this is a big worry for a club like Manchester United as this is making them look very poor. In the weekend win to West Ham, he was lucky to keep a clean sheet because he had a rock solid defense in that match who were able to cover up on some open tracks for him.

 Well I think he should be kept on the bench a while then hsed in leas competitive matches till he’s able to gain his confidence to stand between the sticks for Manchester United then will he be considered as one of the force to reckon with. Right now he’s just a cajole of himself to other EPL clubs and others across Europe and Africa too.

I do agree that putting all the blame on VVD and Alison doesn't make sense, the game is not played with 2 people, it's played with 11, and no other player looked good out there, including VVD and Alison of course, they didn't look good neither, but they weren't the only ones, so it is not really a bad situation. I think it has to be something that needs to change, and I feel like it may take some time for them to recover from this emotionally but with Salah coming back, they should be doing better eventually as well.

I believe that they are going to do fine, they just need to focus on what they could do better, and for that to happen they need to look back and watch the game tape and see what went wrong and fix those, or realize their mistakes.

Chelsea is like a team without any purpose lol, they spend a lot of money but their performance is still the same as the previous season meaning there is no change to what they have done so far. Pochettino must be responsible for all the bad results achieved by Chelsea under his coaching. He can be blamed for failing to bring about the changes that were entrusted to him.

For this reason, it is possible that at the end of this season he will receive a letter from Todd Boehly because whatever it is, Chelsea performance under Pochettino coaching is very bad. Big changes have not been able to take Chelsea in a better direction and indeed it all lies in the coach performance because he failed to raise the quality of his players.

When Brentford scored the first goal of the match, I was thinking that Manchester City will be facing the same fate that befell Liverpool, it was not long that the Cities levelled up the match at half time. Second half then ushered in the destruction for Brentford. The next time Brentford will hear the name Phil Foden, they will take to their hills to avoid a repeat of the destruction that he did to them. Only him scored the 3 goals that reduced the once energetic Brentford to rubbles, thereby sending them closer to the relegation zone that everyone is doing their best to avoid.

Liverpool was not left out in the pain that greeted Machester's 1-3 win against Brentford. With this win, Machester City will do their best to win their outstanding match to top the league with 1 point lead over Liverpool. We cannot say that the season is over yet but it is looking like Pep Guardiola is not ready to allow Jurgen Klopp end his contract at Anfield with a trophy.

City is slowly but surely moving up. There will be clubs who can preven city from winning EPL again this season expect a sanction from EPL caused by the FFP breaches. De bruyne is back again and city is not lacking on the ball distribution. De bruyne helped the club to distrbuted ball to the all of lines easily.
Foden scored hatrick against brentford and it has proven how consistent the performance from mancehster city is now. The bad thing haaland was missing a golden chance score for city. He was not lucky enough at that time. The mistake being made by the defender was ultimately cost city the first goal.
They were out from their actual positions. Brentford was very deflated after manchester city was scoring the first goal. This is the reason the second and third goals can be conceding easily by foden. He made hatrick in this game which is unbelivable.
I think reaslistically, manchester city will be winning the trophye as long as it can consistently playing like that in any match. It's got a little bit too far from i think that the performance from manchester city is building my confidence to say that.
So, i think our chance of winning that EPL trophy is very high right now. City will get another EPL trophy again for its trophy cabinet.

Both Pochettino and Todd Boehly are the worst in the history of Chelsea management, so I will not blame Pochettino as a whole because since Chelsea was initially held by Todd Boehly, this club lost its existence. Plus the decision to bring Pochettino added to the chaos. You know that Chelsea has implemented many player policies which in my opinion, starting from sales and purchases, are unreasonable. Todd Boehly only knows about money but not what it means to own the Blues. For this reason I hope Chelsea  fans enjoy these difficult times because no matter what, Chelsea season in the Premier League is over unless Todd Boehly and Pochettino leave.

Talking about Ibrahima Konaté getting a red card considered a bad mistake for me it's not a mistake because even if Ibrahima Konaté didn't get a red card Arsenal would still be ahead with a score of 2-1 only after Ibrahima Konaté got a red card after that the defense was very weak and conceded again in the last minute.
I know that Alisson and Van Dijk were in the spotlight which was thought to be the cause of the mistake but it happened accidentally and they tried to secure the goal but it ended very badly.
Currently, Manchester City and Arsenal have the same points and only have a difference of 2 points from Liverpool and it not surprising that the Premier League has become very competitive because several clubs have taken turns being in first place the points table.

If there are no problems that will happen again, it looks like Manchester City will take first place again and Liverpool will only compete to be in second place and compete with Arsenal.

To be honest, i would like to add clown emot but i can't LOL.

Pochettino is simply even worst compared to the graham potter. I would like to call that he was a new graham potter or even worst. Graham potter was able getting more point even it was only 1 point more compared to the pochettino. Chelsea is a fuckin clown right now. I think that it's time for todd boehly to sack him.
There is no place for him in the club again. The performance from pochettino was worst compared to the potter which is embarassing result for sure. The quality if club has been relegation a lot and this is the main problem.

I hope chelsea management can hear this caused by the team spent a half of billion for nothing. No improvement happened to the club. It means that chelsea was only stupidly redistributing its money to get garbage and overrated players.
Some clubs were successfully scamming chelsea to get mediocre player. Pochettino deserves to be sacked as soon as possible.

It's so dump to see pochettino has not been sacked yet. It'a very embarassing decision from todd boehly.

I should also state my opinion on the Onana topic while you are mentioning him.

Yeah, he isn't normally a bad goalkeeper. Do you remember his performance in the Champions League last season? He was just amazing honestly. He was one of the best performing goalkeepers. The only but important problem about Onana is consistency. Since he joined Manchester United you have all seen it clearly.  

In fact this isn't the first time Onana is conceding easy goals. There are many examples from even before he joined Inter. But I don't want this to overshadow his talent anyway. He is a player grown from Barcelona youth.    I hope to see him doing better than this next season.

There's no doubt that Onana is not always bad, he can be reliable when it comes to playing from the build up and he's very good at delivering good passes to attackers, he all saw his potential during the UCL finals against Manchester City, I think that's what triggered United to go for him. However since he came to United he's been having difficulties adapting there, I think he'll need more time to regain his form again, but that's what United need currently. They need quick action, someone that would make a difference upon arrival.

 I think United need a good replacement for him by summer, a club like that shouldn't be conceding much goals, and sometimes it's due to Onana's errors and bad positioning that caused them to concede much, especially in the UCL matches. Well too bad for him a new management have arrived and I'm pretty sure Sir Jim and his team won't be patient enough to watch him improve and continue being their 1st choice.

Manchester City did exactly what you said last night.    Brentford's goal came in a really unexpected moment but it was no problem for Manchester City. There was really a Foden show in this match by a hat-trick. Haaland wasn't very good on one-on-ones but I don't want to blame him for that much. Because Flekken made a really decent effort despite conceding 3 goals.

Liverpool were disappointing indeed.    I thought they would still be close to victory without even Salah. Because their recent performance was really convincing to me.

The match between Arsenal and Liverpool was exciting only for those who anticipated Arsenal would win. Based on their previous performances, I underestimated them. Arsenal surprised us by defeating Liverpool 3:1; the Arteta guys put on an excellent play. Arsenal joined Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League title race. As of right now, Arsenal and Manchester City have the same number of points with the goal differences. If Arsenal wins their remaining games, they have a chance to win the Premier League title this season, if they don't disappoint like they did last season.


Jurgen Klopp wants to win the Premier League this season, his last title before he can leave the club. I didn't think Liverpool would lose any games because they are strong team that can defeat every top team in the league, but they lost against Arsenal. Liverpool lead the table with two points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, I don't think they have enough chance to win the championship this season; if they lose by mistake, Manchester City and Arsenal are going to overtake them.

After the victory, Arsenal will be fined by the EPL. They got 6 yellow cards in one game. Earlier this season Chelsea and Liverpool have also been fined like this. If I'm not mistaken, they are obliged to pay 25 thousand pounds. Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice, and Kai Havertz, and Jakub Kiwior are the 6 players who received yellow cards. But the most favorable condition is that Man City currently still has 1 game less. Currently Arsenal has dropped to 3rd place, Liverpool also has the potential to drop because of the difference of 1 match this.

In my opinion, this is not Liverpool's carelessness because Arsenal are really trying to maximize their performance at home and avenge their previous defeat and it's true that Arsenal really took advantage of opportunities well in that match and made Liverpool lose because they didn't have many shots on goal. I'm happy In the end Arsenal won again so that the competition between the top 3 clubs became increasingly fierce and Arsenal currently has the same points as Manchester City, but Manchester City still has 1 match yet to be played.

Jurgen Kloop has tried his best, but it can't be helped that this match is quite tough for Liverpool because Arsenal is in good form and Arsenal is also a club that is competing strongly in the race for the Premier League title so Liverpool experiencing at away defeat is not a mistake for Kloop, but yes Jurgen Kloop must train his players not to lose again because the competition is still very hot at the moment.
