There is absolutly no motivation within the squad. That happens when all your players are very secured in their contracts. Give every new signing a 6 year deal and watch him underperform in 2 or 3 months. If they are not aiming to win the league, they just wont try hard enough.

As a club, Tottenham must be very pleased with the results they have achieved recently, the team restrained themselves before the injury crisis got deeper and longer and they are at a very good level right now.

They also won against Burnley in the FA Cup 3rd Round today. Pedro Porro worked hard in this match and finally got the reward, stealing addlist, a magnificent last shot, a very hard shot from outside the penalty area and right into the corner.

When Tottenham had an injury crisis I thought that Tottenham would not challenge for the premier league title this season again, because Tottenham's performance was poor and they were losing their matches. But it is good to see Tottenham has started winning their matches, Tottenham is 6 points behind Liverpool the premier league table leader.

Chelsea will need some strategic changes which may include some of their players Ben sold out and possibly a Change of coach because they seem to have their issues ranging from their tactics, players down to the coach and it's not looking like they are getting any better except theyfix these issues with their coach and a few players.

For this season I doubt if they will be able to finish top four in the premier league or even secure a trophy by the end of the season because they don't look like they have the form and the ability to do such, they have really unstable performance this season, at some point we would think they are already getting better and at the other they turn out even worse especially when facing smaller teams but with big team they try to put up a fight and probably show their prowess nevertheless they haven't done enough to earn them much this season, they need to really improve.

Since their performance is not too poor compared to Chelsea and Manchester United, I think the management can give him some time to see if he can regain their balance in the Premier League even though Aston Villa has taking their spot because Aston Villa's performance this season looks similar to Newcastle United's performance last season. If the management were patient enough, Eddie Howe can do his best to recover.

Newcastle's ranking is getting worse, if last season Newcastle only got 5 defeats until the end of the season, but in the middle of this season alone Newcastle has suffered 9 defeats (Even Newcastle lost to Luton and Nottingham Forest), so it's only natural that the Newcastle coach's future is threatened and he will be replaced, and speculation about howe's replacement has also emerged, jose mourinho - graham potter - conte are on the list. to improve Newcastle's performance like last season then I really agree with the change of coach, honestly Newcastle's performance this season is very bad, it's like they're back in the past lol

I don't think there's anyone that still believes that there's a possibility of Manchester United going back to winnings ways again under their current manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman like I've said in several times in this thread doesn't act like manager who still got some clue on what next to do and improve the performance of the team. The wins that's been managed by the club this season are all lucky wins and sometimes as a result of individuals brilliance of the club players. Manchester United are yet to play as a team this season and they must sack the current manager and hire a better one who's capable of doing everything that's expected of a top football manager for a positive change at the club this season

It's just kind of obvious that Manchester United's problem is not really from their coach alone, they are having other problems, but if we are honest, their coach is not also helping them. There are some decisions that he does make that I think a coach with experience shouldn't make. I don't really know how Manchester United is going to solve the problem they are in. Chelsea, which have been performing poorly since last season, have seen a slight improvement in their performance lately, I can say they are even better than Manchester United currently. Ten Hag has a lot of things to work on, if he is given enough time to do that.

When Pochettino was signing new players and he was selling the players Chelsea had before, I was thinking Pochettino had rebuilt the club because they performed during the preseason matches and they played well in their first match this season, which was against Liverpool, i was thinking Chelsea are back to form, but i ended up seeing decline in there performance after there first match. Chelsea have been inconsistent this season, sometimes they play perfectly well, but sometimes they end up disappointing their fans. I don't know how Pochettino will be rebuilding the squad again.

If Chelsea will bring in a new coach, then which coach do you even suggest they bring in? It's not all about getting a new coach, how sure are you that the new coach's performance won't be worse than the current coach? Chelsea tried different coaches last season, but there was no improvement in their performance, they were even getting worse.

Actually, with the current performance of Newcastle, in my opinion, Eddie Howe should feel threatened because in fact they are currently experiencing problems and crises in performance.
Newcastle have spent quite a lot to make their readiness in a good position and are considered one of the dangerous clubs in the last 2 seasons so it is certain that when the conditions are not in accordance with the desired expectations, the coach must be ready to bear all the decisions because it is certainly the coach who will be targeted because he is considered unable to advance the club.
Howe can get out of this trap if he is able to improve Newcstle's performance but if in the end he cannot do that then he must be prepared to leave.

With Newcastle's current condition I think it's a little complicated to say that Howe can maintain his position as coach for Newcastle.
Because after all at this time we know that Newcastle's situation must want to be better than last season and when the position is not favourable and can't even do much in the standings then indeed they indirectly regress and the management will certainly not remain silent about it especially with the resources they have at this time they will continue to overhaul in terms of players including coaches in order to establish themselves to be at a greater level than before.
So by looking at this, I personally am not too sure if I say that Howe will be safe to be in the Newcastle coaching with Newcastle's current condition.

What makes you believe that Eddie Howe is so safe? If he can't lead the club to success, everything will be against him. Newcastle has some investor backing them who have a lot of power, money and they want the best for the club because it is their money and the value of the club fluctuates with the performances of the team so to say. I doubt that the people behind Newcastle are ok with failing to qualify for the Champions League. At least I would not be shocked if Howe gets sacked at some point. I don't know if they give him one whole season, but for now it doesn't look good for them and the Champions League qualification is so far away that the chances are close to zero.

Let's be Frank, Ten Hag is just too overhyped aside Jose Mourinho and Van Gaal I can't remember any top tier coach United has signed since Fergusen left, just overhyped coach who fails to meet team expectations though Mourinho was better than the other.
Which player did Ten Hag requested for that He didn't get or try to get for him?
Who requested for Onana, Mount, Rasmund and others.

Last season He had issues with Ronaldo, this season Sancho next season we don't know
Aside from injury crisis in which they also struggle to win even when they are fit Ten Hag has no excuse.

The fact is Ten Hag should know his place and let go of some pride so that he will be respected by team while the players needs to have their trophy winning mentality which they have lost for over a decade now, I don't really think Ten Hag can help in this area but Man United can give a shot and see how the perform next season.

Even if what you say is true but after the SAF era which was almost a decade ago ended, Manchester United have always had problems with performance and at the moment there are some situations that are difficult to explain about management but I think for the current coaching problem is also a big problem for them.
Ten Hag is one of the coaches who is still fairly good actually it's just that the problem is that he is too authoritarian in coaching which makes the players uncomfortable. In addition, there are some things that happen in management, especially about the transfer of power of the Glazer Family, which is still hampered, making the pace of Manhchester United also disturbed in this regard.
It is difficult indeed to make a difference in conditions like this because after all they have to improve structural management from above and in this case of course from ownership whose problems must be resolved immediately.

Tottenham vs Manchester United is one big match to be on the look out for especially this season based on both teams rankings. Well I don’t think Manchester United with their current squad will be able to match this Tottenham side. Yes, this Tottenham side could be struggling but I think they’re better off Manchester United because they’ve a serious chase at heart, the Top 4 spot.

 Not like Man United isn’t serious but I think they’re mot ready to get anywhere this season, they win some and loose more and that’s one reason Tottenham will come hurting them in this fixture. Richarlison is one hungry striker who’s ready to make his mark and his name and with United shaky defense, I don’t think they stand any chance against this sweet Tottenham’s attack, well their only hope would be if Lisandro  Martinez would be fit for the match since he's back in training.

It is unfortunate that Manchester United has become the talk in football and not only this season but from like several seasons after Alex Faguson left the club. The coach that would have taken Manchester United higher is José Mourinho. But he was neglected because the expectations of the management and Manchester United fans were very high, such that his achievements of winning the Europa League and ending 2nd in the English premier League was nothing to Manchester United.
Today, no coach has ever beat his record and the big Manchester United we used to know is now struggling to restore their lost glory which is not as easy as they are approaching it.
Manchester United and her fans needs to realise and understand that Manchester United is no longer the excellent club we used to know and used to be proud of those days. Things have changed and they need to realign. Let's see the impact of the change in management can cause.

During the two seasons Manchester United was coached by Erik Ten Hag, there were no significant changes, but in his first season, Erik succeeded in bringing Manchester United to finish in 3rd place in the standings and qualify for the Champions League. But in his second season, Erik Ten Hag was unable to maintain Manchester United performance because until week 20, or to be precise, they had played 20 matches but they were still stuck in 8th place in the standings. I think Erik Ten Hag is not a coach who will be able to bring Manchester United to success like the Ferguson era. He often makes trouble with his players, such as his incident with Ronaldo and Sancho. so that the coach incompatibility with the players will make it quite difficult to see that they can achieve their targets.

Not only that is a big problem but also the recruitment made by Erik Ten Hag is also not able to shine well under his coaching. This season it is possible that Manchester United will finish outside the top 4 which will most likely have a bad impact on Erik coaching career because he could be fired again if that is the reason management writes a letter of dismissal to Erik Ten Hag.

I agree with you, it will take several seasons for Man United to appear impressive again and repeat its glory like the Ferguson era. However, there are many things that must be addressed by club officials in the future, starting from managing academy players, recruiting coaches who are in line with club culture, and of course recruiting new players who are not haphazard.

We can see now that almost all of United new recruits at exorbitant prices have minimal contribution, and key players who have played for The Red Devils for several seasons also appear far from standard, although not all of them are like that. So it is very reasonable that now most people avoid betting on their winnings because it is not very convincing at all.

It is very likely that The Red Devils will end the season without any trophies, and what will hurt most is failing to finish in the UCL zone at the end of the season. However, in terms of a decline in performance, United was fortunate that they were not alone, Chelsea, who also has status as an elite EPL club, also experienced the same thing, even Pochettino squad had an even more tragic fate.

No it is not the solution what you are talking about. What you are saying is exactly what they have been doing for a few years now. They need a capable coach who understands the potential of every single player they have at the moment and then he needs to figure out which players available in the market would represent smart additions to the existing squad. So far Chelsea has bought everything and everyone they could get and it led them nowhere. Pochettino was the next big fail, but I couldn't care less. It seems there are people who think Pochettino is a world class coach.

United have become a breeding ground for talent long before this season and there has been no talk of any champion mentality for a long time. Maybe it’s just time to come to terms with the fact that others have taken its place and now in order to even just return to the top 4 (stable and not randomly like last season) infrastructure changes are required (the need for which, by the way, Ronaldo spoke about in his famous interview). United has partially changed its owner, maybe we will see some serious changes, but I think they will happen by the summer.

Serious problems and misunderstandings between the higher management and the players started just after the arrival of the new coach, there is no point in denying that. And I doubt that the owners have serious problems with anything, the only one is that they can't remove Ten Hag for some reason.
