Changing manager will be the best option for Manchester United, but the problem here is that, who are they going to sign as his replacement?
There are no good coaches outside there without a team, and no coach will be willing to leave his team for Manchester United unless if the management promise to give them all the financial support they need to completely restructure the team.

There is no single sign about Manchester United willing to sack Eric Ten Hag out of the club. The defeat of the team against Nottingham Forest by 2 goals to 1 was another disappointing result. After the victory of Manchester United against Aston Villa, we thought the club might improve next but surprise no surprise, they just failed again, and they will keep failing over and over.
Signing new contracts and bringing fresh players, as asked by Eric Ten Hag, will make the team improve in quality eventually but I don't know why I don't feel this will be the case for Manchester United.

It was a comfortable game for Manchester City but the score could have been bigger than this anyway of course. It seems like Haaland and De Bruyne's absence at the same time affects the scoring productivity quite much even in this kind of games. Sad

De Bruyne was actually in the substitutes but Guardiola didn't want to sub him in.

Maybe Guardiola wanted to have him on the pitch as of the Newcastle game ahead in the league. It is an away game and could be a really tough game. Newcastle are worse than the previous season though but they can still be dangerous.

It was more of a boring game for the eyes to see, I didn't believe a team like Manchester City having Pep Guardiola would dominate and play some entertaining shiit for the fans.

Not just Erling and Kevin. The absence of Jeremy Doku also is important. When Kdb was away, Doku would ignite the tempo of the game but we saw the drunk Jack Grealish making my eyes itch as I watch them play the slowest game since Pep Guardiola took over.

Eddie Howe also having a poor season with Newcastle United. He's protected by the media because he's managing a small club and he's a British manager. I'd love them to put same energy they put into sacking Erik Ten Hag and do same with Eddie Howe.

In the end Manchester City started to find some good form after a few boring games. They managed to get 3 important points in their efforts to improve their performance, and now Manchester City have equaled Arsenal in terms of points. I'm happy with what they got in the first half so Pep Guardiola is still worth considering as a coach who can maintain his chances of retaining the title.

It only took one mistake for Liverpool to see Manchester City lead the table, so it will be something interesting to look forward to in the second half of the season. I also saw Haaland and De Bruyne on the bench today, meaning both will be ready to return in the second half of the season after suffering injuries.

Still not sure under Erik ten Hag how he can give more better result for Manchester United in this season, left domestic league only after losing in Champion League and very poor achievement if United can't finish top fourth standing in this season because they have been longer time can't win domestic league and out from top fourth will be more pressure for United as top one of Premier league team.

I am also doubting Ten Hag’s quality on Manchester United performance; I don’t think he can change something good for the team because he is not progressing despite having good players that can play and move a team to at least top four because the players have individual qualities, they just need good coaching in order to blend together to give a better performance.

Changing manager will be the best option for Manchester United, but the problem here is that, who are they going to sign as his replacement?

I can't imagine that Ten Haag still has a great future at Manchester. Even after the defeat against Nottingham it became clear that the team has a lot of problems and that it is not developing at all. Ten Haag had some time in which the team's underperformance was not so noticeable because the focus was on the club's change of ownership. Now that this has been completed, for me it is only a matter of time before the new owners look for a new coach who can further develop the team. It's a shame to see this performance from a world club like ManU.

Manchester united inconsistency is obvious because it's hardly for them to win matches consecutively just look at their awesome performance against a consistent side like Aston Villa during the mid-week and for them to lose to Nottingham Forest is really very degrading. Maybe their match should be predicted like if they win a match then their next match will be against them or they draw because that's exactly what is happening to them. It's really a bad one for them to end the year with a loss but hopefully they may do more better next Year.

Expecting a lot from Manchester United while their playing strategy is still not consistent is wrong. What I mean is this, Erik ten Hag in Manchester United's 19 matches in the Premier League this season really understands the weak points that exist when Manchester United plays, but in reality he completely ignores and allows it to continue to happen.
If in the last match Manchester United beat Aston Villa with an emotional comeback, against Nottingham it should be easier for them to win.

The selfishness of Manchester United players is almost the same as Erik ten Hag's character. I say they all want to present themselves as the best when played by ten Hag.
Even though Manchester United can close the final match of this year with a win and have the opportunity to improve their position in the standings.

Considering how inconsistent Manchester United have been since the start of the season, I don't think the manager Erik ten Hag in any way have a clue of what best to do in other to restore the club and bring the club back to winning ways. Yesterday, I was able to see an analysis of how inconsistent the club has been since the start of the season and all I can say is that the club is heading no where with the current manager.

Playing against a team like Nottingham Forest, Manchester United played like a team who were playing against a top club in Europe as they struggled to get a win in that game. If the club management truly wants to see a rise in the club's performance, they must sack the current manager and hire a better one

The inconsistency of Manchester united continues, the lost to a a low side Nottingham Forest and this comes after Manchester united came back from a two goals to nill trashing from Aston villa to regain the lead and ended the match 3:2.
I think a team that's as inconsistent as Manchester united needs to work on the team, this is not the type of characters a team who is guning for anything at the end of the season. Also great work from Nottingham Forest today.

To be honest, I never expected Nottingham to play that well against Manchester United. But everything was different from the start of the match, where from the first minute, Nottingham spread threats to Manchester United's defense in that match. I know Nottingham is playing at home, but it was a very different performance to many of their previous home games. Nottingham was motivated to win and do their best, as a result they actually did it and won the match.

Manchester City and Aston Villa also won their respective matches today. Both teams really struggled to secure 3 points even though Aston Villa and Manchester City actually dominated. Aston Villa was lucky because they received a penalty at the end of the match, otherwise 2-2 would be the final score that would not have changed.

However, for now it is very difficult to expect more from Manchester United because seeing from what is happening right now their situation is really unpredictable.

I already said don't expect much from Manchester United if their consistent level continues to be like that even though some will say that will change after the transfer of players in January. Another problem they will encounter is that they will be the same as half of the season if the pattern used by Erik ten Hag does not change.

Last season Rashford appeared as the top scorer and was a player who performed quite well. This season everything changed for Rashford.
Their game is like there is no captain.

Arsenal could not hold Westham to a draw less a win for them. Arsenal will remain in second place below Liverpool who are topping the table now. It was a game well played by Arsenal but were just unlucky not to have scored any goal in all the 90 minutes of play. West Ham had their chances and they were able to convert them to goals instantly. West Ham will remain on 6th position and continue their fight for the top four of the table. The table and point difference from number three to six looks so tight and anything can happen at anytime.

The whole top 6 looks very tight there in general, it's almost unrealistic to guess who will win this season. Liverpool are going well so far and are deservedly at the top of the table, so I have no complaints about them. For arsenal it was just a bad match, there's no other way to put it

That right, the competition will be even tighter if Man United and Chelsea return to the European zone. I think with a very narrow point difference, opportunities for changes in position in the standings will continue to occur, most likely even until the end of the season. Losing points in just one game will have a big impact on a significant change in position, neither team is completely comfortable in their current position.

Man City has found its rhythm again in securing full points, especially as it is reported that key player De Bruyne is ready to appear again. This is a real threat to Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa, I think if these three teams fail to maintain their concentration then Pep will bring City back to take over the top of the standings.

The transfer market will open soon, we will see the rumors that previously developed come to fruition. I hope United and Chelsea can move actively in this transfer window, because they look like mediocre clubs this season, maybe by recruiting new players these two clubs can be more consistent in securing points in the second half of the season.

Yes, the competition is so tight that Arsenal's defeat cost them a drop from first in the table to fourth is staggering to say the least. So I agree with you that this rate of change in the table will continue until the end of the season. As for the transfer window, even in the media there are few rumours about it and I can't imagine who and where in the EPL might move to

Sometimes their game is very good but in one condition their game is sometimes very bad to see.
Hojlund's absence in attack made Ten Hag have to react by playing Antony as a winger again and Rashford was promoted to the striker position but honestly this still did not work well because Antony's performance until now still did not show good things on the other hand even though Rashford scored a goal but he was still a little hassle in this case.

After gaining momentum when winning against Aston Villa now Manchester United seems to lose back the momentum they formed.

I think Arsenal will soon turn things around and win because their dominance is very strong in this match.

It's safe to say the game is already lost. Only a few minutes left and they're still down by 2 goals. They have a massive advantage in terms of possession, but this means nothing if they can't convert that into opportunities.

And it turns out our predictions were wrong. ha ha ha I was really surprised when I saw the final result of Arsenal vs West Ham 0 - 2. Arsenal lost. Yes, but this is the result. Arsenal are good at playing but bad at goal execution. It's quite a disappointing result. This time, they must completely lose the point.

And today, they will compete against Fullham. Don't let them make the same mistake, namely only winning in ball possession but not executing the goal. Arsenal must do it this time. If not, their position will be increasingly threatened and the points will be further away. Currently the top positions in the EPL are very competitive so they really have to be careful.

The fact that these end results catch us by surprise so often also shows how unpredictable the Premier League is. In the last few weeks I really have been wrong countless of times with my picks and that had mostly to do with the games in which the favorites won against the inferior teams. Today it was Manchester United against Nottingham Forest, but then there was of course Arsenal against West Ham. But there have been several games recently where this became evident.

I sometimes want to be more bold with my picks, but every time I think that there is no chance it would end like that. But it does quite often. Should be taking more risks at times.

I didn't think that Arsenal vs West Ham today match will lose by 2 goals. After West Ham player T. Souček scored the first goal in 13 minutes I was very worried because I bet in support of Arsenal team. Arsenal team players were wrong and Arsenal team goalkeeper did not perform well today due to which Arsenal team lost the match.

I had so much faith in Arsenal at the beginning of the match, I was very optimistic about their performance Al through the first half of the match regardless of a few inconsistency shown, I was still saying to myself it's just the first half and there's still more time for Arsenal to be able to get back on their feet but they disappointed in the long run.

Even after west ham and their first goal, I still believed Arsenal was more than capable enough to be able to deliver, I expected that since the first half didn't looked so we'll hopefully by the second half Arsenal will have a comeback and will draw if it turns out worse but after the second goal and I observed Arsenal still had a dull performance, I concluded Arsenal was going to loose this match and it was Avery sad they couldn't secure a single goal from this match, this got my heart broken the more, currently Arsenal may likely fall back to struggling again.

Arsenal is a good team and they had a good performance so far in this season, also they have a good coach with knowledge in their team. But this can't be the reason to say Arsenal should win all the games in a league like Premier League. I was also expecting to see Arsenal winning the game against West Ham however I didn't bet on this team for the match against West Ham, but they didn't
However, Arteta and many fans of Arsenal think they lost the game mostly because of the mistakes the referee made during this game otherwise they could have had another result in this game.

Man United is rated better than Nottingham Forest in this match and is expected to win. But similar to the scenario of previous games, they were constantly pressured by their opponents. As a result, notable opportunities in the first minutes continuously belonged to Nottingham Forest. The first half of the match was quite dull as the two teams had no creative ideas for attacking each other. In the second half, both Nottingham Forest and Man United made significant changes, but the home team seemed to be the one creating more dangerous opportunities. Nottingham Forest is the team that shines in this second half. Winning closely 2-1, Nottingham Forest rose to 15th in the rankings with 20 points after 20 rounds. As for Man United, I have no words to describe them. They lost to a small team, and their race for the top 4 was broken.

Losing to an average club was totally not included in the plan, rather there was strong probability of Manchester United to win average club. Erik Ten Hag have a big burden on his mind, he keep making his team worsen and weaker against elite clubs and average clubs. Rating an elite club more than average club is rational, there's no strong hand Nottingham Forest would implement against the Red Devils. Manchester united have finally restored hope but they couldn't hit the nail hard on the knot because they lost important matches. The winning against Nottingham Forest was top priority, but they misused their chances of goal scoring and got punished for it.

Manchester United played very well against Aston Villa. They won the match 3-2. After the win against the big team like aston villa everyone was expecting to see Manchester United win in today's match. Because opponent Nottingham Forest is a weak team. This team is close to the relegation zone. And can go into the relegation zone at any time. It was unexpected that Manchester United would play so badly against such a team. I would say Nottingham Forest deserve to win this match. Their overall gameplay was better than Manchester United's.

I'll blame inconsistent players and also the poor decision making of the manager which have affected him from the start of the season. A lot of things gone wrong, he be giving too much excuses. I'm only backing this manager because the great season he had with the club last season. Let's see what he achieves with the return of the major partof his squad middle January.

Manchester City played at a very slow pace today, almost same way Chelsea did against Sheffield United as they also ended up winning the game with the same goal range.

Chelsea today against Luton Town was the most entertaining. Nicholas Jackson did pretty good on the wing today.

Indirectly, their momentum after defeating Aston Villa in the previous match was lost again at this time because they again failed to win points because they had to lose to Nottingham Forrest.
I don't want to say this but indeed for Manchester United it seems that inconsistency in this case has become a common thing because the momentum is actually there for them but again their erratic performance makes Manchester United's situation always fail to make consistency.

The thing that hurts a little is that Elanga, who we know was previously at Manchester United, actually made an assist for the victory from Nottingham and with his confidence he seemed to tell that Ten Hag's choice about not giving more confidence to him was a wrong decision.

I really cannot believe United is losing against Nottingham after such a great comeback against Aston Villa. At this point , I cannot understand this club vision of how to manage a football club and as a fan it hurts me to see my club wondering in darkness for so many years already.

I also hope next year will bring a positive change into United club and maybe with a bit of luck they will catch an european spot (top 6 ).

It is a pity to see how Manchester United has been inconsistent this season, and this has been happening since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United's head coach. Manchester United needs a coach who has the same mentality as Sir Ferguson so that Manchester United can start to challenge for title.

Manchester united Al through the game were not tough on Nottingham at all and they were only trying to force a good attack but then they had no form of creativity to help them get the goals through so for me it was more of a struggle than a match, as they weren't as productive as one will expect of them.

Onana with is mistakes and never changing, I have always wondered will there be any day he will be ever determined to keeping a clean sheet in a match? Because he conceeds a goal in almost every of his appearance for Manchester united and that's not helping the team at all. The second goal literally came in without any efforts from him to save the ball, he was just watching the ball pass into the net. Rashford had no dimension tho he was luck to score a goal but his total performance was not impressive I was just disappointed at the team.
