'Local boy' Ratcliffe takes stake in Manchester United.


It is a big news for The Reds and their fans in this holidays time but will this help their club exit the crisis from strategy to results on field?

If he does not know about this man?
Who is Sir. Jim Ratcliffe?

He made a bid to buy Chelsea for £4.25bn in April 2022 but failed and now The Red's fans can feel happy a little bit to see this man brings his money to Manchester United, not to Chelsea.

For now, I will admit that West Ham is stronger than MU from the last 5 matches. We can distinguish that West Ham has bagged 3 wins while MU has only been able to get 1 win and if we compare the depth of performance of these two clubs, West Ham much stronger because MU several. players suffered injuries so it was natural that West Ham won the match at that time.
On the one hand, the strong encouragement from the home match gave West Ham a lot of confidence and it was very visible that this club was more relaxed and comfortable when playing against MU, even though they were under pressure from MU several times but were unable to break down West Ham defense.
If we talk about Arsenal match against West ham, I am sure that this is arsenal opportunity to maintain their points and continue to stay  first place on the points table and one side of the home match always provides big opportunity for top clubs and the bookies also know that Arsenal is worthy to. be a favorite.
Arteta's club will continue to try to get rid of the clubs that will be its opponents, even though they are not very consistent, but in fact they have reached first place and are leading the Premier League.

I meant 2023 by saying end of the year. But I must admit that it had two meanings.    Winning against West Ham at Emirates would be a wonderful gift to their fans before the New Year.

But if we talk about the end of the season it is really early to make sure about something. For example Manchester City are 6 points behind the leader and there are 3 teams between as well. But they can also finish the season as the champions. We have newly reached the end of the first part of the season in the end. 

Yeah Arsenal has done really well with how far they have gone on this season by leading the premier League table again but however they seriously need to put more efforts on there upcoming matches because the points different between Arsenal and Liverpool is quite small so any slightest mistake from Arsenal will cost them the first position they are in now, so the only way for them to maintain there stand on the table is to keep up with there impressive performance.

However there upcoming match against West Ham United is actually going to be tough on the both sides because West Ham United is also very good in times of performance, so if Arsenal fails to win West Ham United Liverpool is going to take over the first position on the premier League because Liverpool is going to meet Burnley and we all no that Liverpool is far better than Burnley in times performance so is obvious that is a win match for Liverpool.

The best game this week Manchester United vs Aston Villa? I dont think Arsenal and Liverpool will lose and Aston Villa will win against Manchester, because that would put them in first place in the Premier League, but the possibility is there. The odds are the same, both teams to win x2.6, but Aston Villa have a much better series behind them, 7 wins out of 10 games and no game lost, Manchester only 3 wins out of 10 games. So you could possibly even put some money on Aston villa. The last game against each other was in April 2023 and Manchster won that 1-0, before that there were 4 games between the two in 2022 and a goal was scored in each game. I think it will be the best game of the matchday this week

That is the issue of United, since Sir Alex Fergosen has went, they do not stay too patient with managers all that much. To be fair he is in his second season, and if he did terrible last season then I would have expected him to leave this season, two years in a row bad years would have been terrible for him, but he did not do badly last season, he did alright and finished third. So that means, he should have some sort of reputation there, a third place with a United team that did awful a year prior means that he was alright.

So it should not be coming down to firing him right away, I agree that between injuries and such, he had a bad season he had control over, and that should not be all that confusing for anyone at all.

I see that Chelsea seems to be following in the footsteps of Manchester United because both teams often suffer the same defeat at the same time. Chelsea's defeat in the away match against Wolves made them even worse and also failed to shorten the distance from Brighton. Now Wolves also have the same points as Chelsea with 22 points and it seems that if Chelsea still fails to get points in the following week, Wolves will shift their position in the standings.

Pochettino, who is predicted to be able to revive Chelsea's performance, also seems to be still having difficulties and it could be said that his fate as Chelsea coach is also increasingly being questioned. Even though Nkunku had made his debut in this match even though he came on from the bench and finally scored his first goal in the EPL this season. But that was still not enough because he scored a goal in the minute of injury time and Chelsea were still 1 goal behind if they equalized.

The performance of Nicolas Jackson and Broja as starters was also felt to be lacking in this match and maybe next time Pochettino should include Nkunku from the first minute to get maximum results. I know Nkunku has only recovered from injury for half the season but Pochettino must be brave considering Chelsea don't have any more time.

It was a surprised to Chelsea fans seen sterling to missed such opportunity at the extra minutes which would have make Chelsea to draw the match, but if you look at all the Chelsea players this season you will know that they are not ready to improve in this season because they like playing selfish game and is affecting their performance in this tournament. Wolves that made some strong teams to used them to rank their points for some matches, but they where displaying well in their home to lead the match in the first half to give their fans hope that they have what it takes to win the match which they did by defeated Chelsea 2-0 to moved to 11 position. I think, it will really help Chelsea to improve if their coach can sell some of their players to sign Kylian Mbappe and Victor Osimhen because their contract will expire next year.

Wolves were even able to match every attack made by Chelsea and Wolves then responded with more accurate attacks. Well so far there has been no development at all in the Chelsea squad. Pochettino must be starting to get frustrated at this point. Because of course Pochettino has tried his best to create the best strategy for the Chelsea squad. And sometimes I think that Chelsea players always seem to lack confidence. They created too many chances. So it's natural that they lose because they didn't play effectively.

But for now it seems like Todd Boehly has been a fairly patient club owner. Because it seems there has been no news about the possibility that Pochettino will be fired. Although there are many rumors stating that Pochettino's position is no longer safe at Chelsea. But I didn't hear that from the club. So I'm starting to think that the club understands that the process of improving the Chelsea squad's performance does require more time.

I think Mauricio Pochettino cannot be completely blamed for Chelsea's poor performance so far, he was not given the freedom at the start of the season to recruit players and Mauricio Pochettino also still needs time to be able to lift and make this Chelsea team the way he wants or have the same character. with his coaching style.

In fact, I saw that the Chelsea players did not work well in the match against Wolves, there was no strong teamwork and it was as if they did not have chemistry with each other to create a good performance to develop the team's performance.
Raheem Sterling is the most selfish player in my opinion, he never thinks about the benefits for the team, he just wants to stand out alone, Chelsea's front players have wasted quite a lot of opportunities, and it would be a shame if they could have avoided this defeat.

In the EPL there are 2 popular teams which are very bad, Chelsea and Man United.
Chelsea has spent a lot of money on players who are not very high quality and we know who the players with high prices have been recruited by Chelsea but have not provided any improvement in fact they are still the same as before and the effort to spend a lot of money is such a waste that must be held accountable by he coach and for me Chelsea carelessness is only in players who are less reliable and less solid.

meanwhile, Man United has problems with players and coaches which have not yet been resolved. I only have the opinion that if it were possible to find a more experienced coach, he would definitely be able to take Man United to a higher level, but MU management still defends him as if he is giving him an opportunity and this coach always has problems with his own players.

for me, Chelsea and Man United for the next season have no hope of competing in other competitions unless they are able to make major changes to better players and coaches.

Chelsea has been on a steady decline for the last 3 seasons and that hasn't changed in this season either,  and Chelsea has continued to perform poorly even in the current season and that is something that will have a long-term impact on the club.

In the last two seasons,  we have always blamed Chelsea's poor performance on the club management inability to put the crisis behind us and form a formidable team that has motivation,  but now,  Chelsea has some of good hands on the ground but yet it has failed in performance,  just imagine recording 8 loses already when the league is still at it first round,  this does not speak well for the club at all.

On ground Chelsea were in complete control but at the end we have full three points for the Wolves which are now jumped from lower to middle of the league table and now worries about Chelsea future are increasing because there were hopes they could be at better in this season but now look like we will have no good chance for them, and they have to stay in lower half of the league table for the another season which could be surely another worst end of them after spending $1 Billion on quality players but still not having anything positive.

Change of ownership and change of management completely bring them to the bottom, and now they are lacking their wounds which are not allowing them any rest for the improvement Pochettino is trying, but sadly things are not going to be in his control as we are looking, he is bringing changes quickly which are also not good he needs to stick with something which give them hope.

Whose fault it is for Chelsea to lose game? I don't know because we can't not blame Mauricio Pochettino on the other hand and leave the players, some fans talked about the coach starting the wrong players in the frontlines. Wolverines are average club compare to the Blues, despite winning Chelsea at Monlineux stadium. Raheem Sterling messed up big time when he refused to pass the ball to Cole Palmer or Jackson and he decided to take the shot and he misses. The Blues have alot of lot of created chances in the first half and the second half, buy they failed to convert these chances to goals. Wolves took the small chances they get and scored.

Gallagher should leave along with Chukwuemeka. Chelsea already got two midfielder's for a huge fee, how can you drop them on the bench? Crazy!! ( Enzo Fernandez and Caicedo ) they have lot of players that are gamblers, so I doubt they'll sell off Gallagher who is engine room for Chelsea currently. I feel like he's Chelsea's most informed player.

Raheem Sterling messed up,  although I want to blame the Wolverampton midfielder who received that ball without proper back scan. He wad only aware about his right view but not his left. Nkuku should have scored two goals but his first was blocked out by the brilliant Wolverampton defender. Goal line technology would've called that if it was goal.

Chelsea has lost 8 times this season and if we look at the number of defeats last season which was 16 times then it can be said that they have made no progress, and only a team that always gets random results can lose to any team and it is quite sad that this has happened in the last two seasons even though A lot of money has been spent but it is not commensurate with the results obtained.
In many matches, Chelsea can always control the game but unfortunately a lot of their finishing ends badly as well as their defense which is just as bad, so it's not strange to see that they can only be ranked 10th with only getting 22 points which is even 5 points behind the team ranked 9th and Chelsea only has 1 goal surplus which shows they are an average team.
If last season they failed to get a place in European competition, then this season this will most likely also be their fate.

Sterling sucks, i meant yeah he was running so fast but he is always losing the ball and this is also very often. He was also rarely passing the ball to the his team mate like sterling only trusting himself to score. Im guessing that if sterling being so obsessed in scoring the goal by himself. Yet jackson shall also be complained as well as this guy is as bad as sterling. Jackson has the golden chances to score but he was missing all of these chances caused by he has no good ability in controlling the ball.

Look at the chance once he received a great pass but he is taking too long only to pick whether to shoot or pass it. This is not what we called that as the best striker. Another drogba? People were joking about that caused by jackson can't even do one tap shoot.
This guy sucks and his mistakes were also costing the club a lot. I have been watching how poort the performance of chelsea in the second half.

Number 16 is also the worst player in the game. The first goal from wolves was coming from his stupidity. he was let wolves's players to heading the ball. Pochettin never learns from his past mistake.
He keeps repeat it even often. What's wrong with this coach? He looks so horrible.

Even though West Ham managed to beat Manchester United, it doesn't mean that West Ham is the strongest club. We know that Manchester United hasn't been good enough lately, so it's appropriate that West Ham beats them with a landslide score of 2 - 0. Arsenal will host West Ham and play at home, of course. This is an added strength for Arsenal to get full points considering that the failure of yesterday's match was only a draw against Liverpool.

Of course, to maintain their position at the top of the standings, Arsenal must remain on the winning track in order to maintain a gap in points with Liverpool and several clubs below them. Last season's failure should be enough for Arsenal to be able to fix it now and pay cash for that failure by winning the title this season. I'm sure Arsenal can get full points against West Ham later.

Chelsea lost and it is already 19 defeats in the season. It seems to be a lot and if this continues, Chelsea will be in the relegation zone. So far, Pocchetino is struggling to control the room. Chelsea have lost the last 4 away games, so the game with Wolverhampton only confirmed the existing trend, besides Wolverhampton really always play well at home.

So far Chelsea are only in 10th place and I believe that even 8th place at the moment would be a very good result with this game.

Arteta proved that Arsenal has really improved under his coaching. Even achieving a draw at home to Liverpool was also a very good achievement for Arsenal. Last season Arsenal were only good when facing weak teams. But this season, Arsenal even managed to beat Man City, which has been a big obstacle for Arsenal since last season. But this season the wall was successfully broken down.

Liverpool actually played better in the home match. But once again luck was on Arsenal's side. Because several opportunities that Liverpool got also failed to become goals because they only hit the crossbar.

Arsenal also have an easy match next, namely against West Ham. Well, West Ham this season has made a lot of surprises. But still that won't make Arsenal lose. Moreover, Arsenal will host the next match against West Ham.
