I understand that Manchester United is far from playing their best football. With the way other teams are performing it will be hard for them to make the champoins league spot. What Manchester United should do is to take their focus off the top 4 and make sure they can make the Europa league next season. But they should focus more on rebuilding the team next season.

Rather than forcing to qualify for Champions or Europa League, it's better for them to develop their club first.

They need to find two wingers, midfielders and few defenders. Although Onana sometimes make mistakes, but we have Bayindir who can replace Onana. While the other positions I mentioned before, Manchester United really lack of good players.

If I may ask, how does a club focus on one trophy like the champions league or the Europa League? You cannot have a target when you don't have a squad to actualise your goals. Manchester United is not in the race to qualify for the champions league and neither are they in the race to qualify for the Europa League. They are just playing without focus. Whenever it gets to a stage that club will be celebrating draw like a win, you will understand that the club is in trouble.

Chelsea is in the state that I described above. We saw it when they drew with Manchester city 4 : 4, the celebrated like they won and their subsequent matches were disaster. Last week, Manchester United drew with Liverpool and celebrated as if they won the league. Something is wrong.

TBH, Liverpool is not the Liverpool of last season so it's not something that should be surprising about their performance yesterday. You can imagine a club which had less of their good players in action could still hold Jurgen Klopp's men to a goalless draw can tell one a lot. Man UTD are the only club who haven't lost at the Anfield this season and while yesterday was a day to change the record, Liverpool went ahead to flop it.
I also must commend Erik's tactic in the game yesterday as they defended more than they attacked. Infact the best way to describe their pattern was like that of a weak team which when overlooked can turn things around on the head and punish you for it as Liverpool were almost punished for their overconfidence.
This draw means they aren't at the first spot and for me I feel that was what Man UTD was hoping to achieve.

Actually Liverpool were much worse than this in the first half of the previous season. If you remember they started to perform much better in the second half of that season but even that wasn't enough for them to finish the league in top 4. Right now their first half performance in the season is much better. At least the number of points they have collected and their position are.

But it is true that their performance at finishing their goal opportunities was really poor against Manchester United as I also said in my previous post. They are still unbeaten for many weeks though but they had better improve their scoring performance again.

Yunno, last season when they gave that thrashing to Man UTD, I'd bet my savings that no one saw that coming cause they were a bit unstable whereas Man UTD were the clear favorites to win but it just wasn't their day at Old Trafford I guess. It's save to say they really burst the bubble of most of their fans(I mean Liverpool) but I guess that's why football is unpredictable. Is it that Jurgen hasnt gotten round the mystery of defeating Man UTD at Anfield or were they just not prepared enough because judging from the stats, it showed Liverpool had the upper hand. I'm just wondering what went wrong.

the wrong thing is manchester united is not the same as last season. I remind you that liverpool was thrashing manchester united when it was having internal problems. MU's players were very often in doing blunders.
I remember that at that time meguire has also been on top of his performance caused by he has been nominated as a player that was always making blunder. The defensive line of manchester united is much stronger compared to the last season.
This is the only difference that was happening during the last game. The defensive line of manchester united much more consistent compared to the last season and the only reason why ten hag was praising all of defenders who played in the match against liverpool.
I would not be complaining about that since stealing 1 point from anfield is also a very good achievement by manchester united. At least, it shows that manchester united has been making good progress and the club was on the right track.

I would say Manchester United management should look for a new coach now. Ten Hag can't do well with this squad, it's proven. And yet if Ten Hag is given a chance then Manchester United's performance will be poor next season. Manchester United may not get the benefits of appointing a new coach this season. However, their chances of doing well in the coming season will increase. However, it is unlikely that Manchester United will sack the Ten Hag before the end of the season. Despite spending a lot of money, Manchester United have not fared better.

That's exactly my suggestions because if he continues to coach Manchester United I'm afraid they will surely get more worst next season because Ten Hag strategy is not helping Manchester United anyway at all because even if they did not perform too well on there last season but cannot compare there last season with there performance on this season because is obvious that they played well last season than this there current season.

But however I don't know if Ten hag is not watching Manchester City matches to see how coaching pattern should be for a club to have a good performance because if he has been watching there matches he would have realize that he is not helping Manchester United in anyway, actually at first I was thinking the reason why Ten hag is having difficulty to handle Manchester United was because he was still new in Manchester United but it has become obvious that he is not capable of leading Manchester United to were they are supposed to be, so if the management did not take action after this season they will face the same challenges next season.

I arguable disagree with you mate. Manchester United downfall is not as a result of poor coaching from Ten Hag. Its actually from the type of players. In performance wise. There is something that needs to be resolved. But dont you think the dressing room unrest is the cause of this recent performances. This same players ten hag used them to make a decent home run last season losing to only brighton. But now Old trafford is now a playground.

There is this recent news of getting a new manager for Manchester United. Although, Graham Potter is expected to be high on Manchester United's shortlist of managerial candidates once INEOS are running football operations - if they decide to part company with
Erik ten Hag. We hope to see the outcomes and personally i have mich expectations to see what Potter can do if there is an agreement. At least for sometime there will be less of nagging from Manchester United fans.

The right words were used here haha. Manchester united is a poorly coached low quality side; majority of the players are not world class and the coach is terrible at his job too; underusing the players and failing to get the best of the squads. Embarassed out of the carabao cup and champions league too.

An humbling against West Ham in london and a sack to ten hag will make many fans excited tbh

With a good coach a team doesn’t need a lot of world class players to perform well, check out the likes of Aston Villa and also Girona in the Spanish La liga do they have any world class players? No and they are performing well winning matches. Manchester United have players quality enough to fight for a spot in the top 4 and even challenge for the title. The coach is having a problem blending the team perfectly that why they are not consistent.

Perhaps if a new coach is introduced he could make a difference because in my opinion Ten Hag is doing a very terrible job.

If Ten Hag is sacked today which coach will Manchester United go for right now that is going to perform the magic and bring immediate success to the club? Ten Hag should not be sacked now let him finish the season. If am a coach and you are asking me to come to Manchester United at this point of the season I won't come.

There are some coaches that are still unemployed and the team will find a decent replacement for Ten Hag if he is sacked which would be the best thing to do if you ask me. Even if Ten Hag is given five additional years he will still accomplish nothing at the club, someone who couldn’t even earn the team a spot in the champions league knockout round while playing against Galatasaray and Copenhagen. It’s really a disgrace for the club.

Without a doubt, Chelsea still has a long way to go in terms of finishing. Their finishing and creativity in today's match weren't encouraging at all even though they won by 2 goals, they still lacked a coordinated performance that could easily lead to their victory in big and small matches. Chelsea are lucky that they played against a less tough team like Sheffield United. If they played against a big team with this kind of performance they used playing against Sheffield United, they would have lost 3 points

Chelsea's performance against Sheffield United, who are set to be relegated, is insufficient, they had plenty of opportunities to score more two goals against sheffield, and Pochettino should have given Nkunku a chance to play instead of Broja, who was replaced by Sterling. I think Nkunku will score the ball even though i have not see his performance to the club yet, he will not lose goal that Broja is supposed to have scored, but I don't think Chelsea is ready to play in the Premier League just yet. Pochettino believes that by having young players to make the club at the top, winning against sheffield United, Chelsea will feel just like they have won a champions league, Chelsea will lose the three points, as you said, if it's a big club.

I think Pochettino will probably leave Chelsea without a trophy, even when he was in Tottenham they win no trothy. I believe Chelsea is not yet ready to step up their performances, but we will see if they can return to their high level of play when they play against Newcastle in the EFL Cup today.

I think Aston Villa's victory over Brentford was lucky because Brentford took the lead towards the end of the first half thanks to a goal scored by Lewis Potter. However, in the second half, Brentford lost one of their players, namely Ben Mee, in the 71st minute, which made the direction of the match completely belong to Aston Villa. Even after only playing with 10 people, Brentford's defense became weak and as a result Aston Villa managed to score 2 goals through Moreno and Watkins.

I thought that aston would be getting draw coz i have seen that once the time was almost coming to its end but the score was still draw. After i was checking it again and then aston was leading the game with two goals. It's amazing to see that how aston villa was making in the last minutes of second half.
Im sure that if people were picking aston villa would be panicked once the score was still draw and yeah aston villa was doing its job very well. Aston villa is still sitting at the third place which is very amazing to see that.

Victory in the away match with a score of 1-2 for Aston Villa and even though in the final minutes of the match they also had to lose a player due to receiving a red card, but that would not threaten Aston Villa's defense. But indeed losing Boubacar Kamara due to the red card will be quite detrimental to Aston Villa in the next match. This result also solidifies Aston Villa's position in 3rd place in the standings with the same points as Liverpool.

Im sure emery has backup for boubacar. Seeing him was getting a red card was bad but he will comeback again after he will not be suspended again from playing due to the red card.
There are some players who capable enough to replace him.

Looked a bit rusty early on but got better and better as the match developed.
It was great to see Jacob Ramsey creating more chances than any other player in this match.
He came back and got better every game.
When the team plays well, everyone does the same

The away result at Brentford is very important to maintain the pressure on Arsenal and Liverpool at the top of the standings.

Congratulations to Ollie Watkins, Player of the Match

Liverpool are disappointed with 1 point but they must analyze themselves that what made them missing three points after creating many opportunities in the match. Onana made some good saves and mistakes too but Liverpool's players are responsible for this draw.

Liverpool played very well in this match. And I would say they deserved the three points. But Liverpool were unlucky not to score a single goal. When a team has all 10 players playing the role of defender, it is much more difficult to win against them or score goals. Manchester United's only goal against Liverpool was to draw the match. They make no attempt to attack. Only Liverpool resisted their attacks. Although Manchester United managed to meet their goals, their performance was below average.

You're correct about Liverpool, but let me add that Manchester United is ready for that match, so that's how the game will go. It's time for us to realise that all of these underperforming teams always prepare to perform well when they play against major teams like them. To illustrate, let's take a look at Chelsea and Manchester City. Despite their poor performances, Chelsea and Manchester City manage to draw, and Manchester United knows exactly which players to use against Liverpool, even when their star players aren't available. These coaches know how to prepare for important games.

And I believe that Liverpool also makes mistakes with the ball, particularly with their striker Nunez, who hasn't scored in more than ten games since the Europa League. If Nunez had a chance to score, he would have missed it. The Liverpool coach ought to bench Nunez so that he would be aware of his mistakes; benching players who have a tendency to make mistakes can sometimes help those players perform well when they return to playing normally.

Ten Hag should not be sacked now let him finish the season. If am a coach and you are asking me to come to Manchester United at this point of the season I won't come.

About half of the season has been played and Manchester United are 7th in the Premier League and out of the Champions League, which is not good for such a big club. If they want to play CL next year then they need to be in the top 4 teams in the league and that currently Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City. I also think they need to find a new coach quickly and rebuild the team. How longer they wait, more difficult it could be for them to reach their goals.

Manchester United's performance doesn't seem like the team will be able to qualify for the Champions League. Their performance is still very poor. The performances of Aston Villa, Tottenham and Newcastle are stronger than Manchester United. Manchester City is 6 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and 10 points behind Aston Villa. Qualifying for the Europa League will also become challenging for Manchester United if their performances do not improve. The Manchester United team should win consistently in the upcimming matches. If not, Manchester United will not be able to be in the top 5 of the table.

I understand that Manchester United is far from playing their best football. With the way other teams are performing it will be hard for them to make the champoins league spot. What Manchester United should do is to take their focus off the top 4 and make sure they can make the Europa league next season. But they should focus more on rebuilding the team next season.

Despite spending a lot of money, Manchester United have not fared better.

I agree with what you said, this really needs to be rethought by Manchester United management to find a new coach and replace Ten Hag so they can create new strategies and tactics, this way it will definitely be even better in the future. If management continues to retain Ten Hang and gives him the opportunity until next season, I am sure Manchester United will not be able to provide a good performance in the matches they will play in the future. In my opinion, not only that, Manchester United must also change its formation by buying new players in the attack line and also the back line so that they can maximize their attack and defensive power next season.

Was this not the same Ten Hag who gave Manchester United top 4 spot last season? The players are not delivering. Rashford is not scoring, the stricker they brought from Atalanta last summer is not scoring, Anthony is not delivering. What will Ten Hag do as the manager and this are the only players he has at his disposal. Let him buy few more players in January and if nothing changes then it will be well established that he is the cause of United problem.

Blaming everyone won't solve the problem currently. Manchester United is suffering from underperforming players and the manager should be held responsible for whatever outcome that comes. Lamenting about the critical state Manchester United found themselves won't help or add anything. Rather Erik Ten Hag should be supported in all rounds and he should do better than expected this season. His players are not delivering and that tends to make the Red Devils unproductive in positive match results this season.

Was it someone else who wanted Antony and Hojlund and had them transferred to the team? If Antony or Hojlund cannot score goals, it is also the fault of Erik Ten Hag, who transferred him thinking that he would be useful to the team and could not see the benefit. It means he didn't transfer the right players. Manchester United chart is decreasing. I don't think Ten Hag will stay in the team long term.

The reason why Liverpool couldn't have access to Manchester united easily in their home is because Manchester united coach did his home work to impact some tactics into their goalkeeper Onana which is their major challenge in this season but Onana prove to people by saving many goals not to allow Liverpool to score a single goal through out the match. I believe Liverpool will never forget what happened in this match, because they where coming with the mindset of defeating Manchester united since many teams are taking victory from them, but not knowing that things has changed positively with Manchester united. Despite their performance was below average, but the most important thing in that match they share points in the home of Liverpool.

I agree with you. Ten Hag did their homework well in this match. He probably observed every attack of the Liverpool players in the past matches very well. This is the reason why Liverpool players are not able to score any goal despite attacking a lot. In this match Liverpool players made a total of 34 shots. 8 shots were on target. From this it can be well deduced that Liverpool played attacking throughout the match and made a lot of efforts to score goals. But even then they could not break the defense of Manchester United. If Manchester United's defense remains strong in the coming matches, and the performance of Manchester United's attacking players improves somewhat, then Manchester United's performance will return to stability.

Player transfers for Manchester United are very poorly organised. The alternatives to the players in the main squad are not of the quality to replace them. We are watching the worst-adjusted Manchester United of recent years. Although Hojlund appeared to be fit in the UCL, he has been absent in the league. They need a striker urgently. I don't think they will have a goalkeeper problem, but they are definitely missing a forward.

About half of the season has been played and Manchester United are 7th in the Premier League and out of the Champions League, which is not good for such a big club. If they want to play CL next year then they need to be in the top 4 teams in the league and that currently Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Manchester City. I also think they need to find a new coach quickly and rebuild the team. How longer they wait, more difficult it could be for them to reach their goals.

Manchester United's performance doesn't seem like the team will be able to qualify for the Champions League. Their performance is still very poor. The performances of Aston Villa, Tottenham and Newcastle are stronger than Manchester United. Manchester City is 6 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and 10 points behind Aston Villa. Qualifying for the Europa League will also become challenging for Manchester United if their performances do not improve. The Manchester United team should win consistently in the upcimming matches. If not, Manchester United will not be able to be in the top 5 of the table.

I understand that Manchester United is far from playing their best football. With the way other teams are performing it will be hard for them to make the champoins league spot. What Manchester United should do is to take their focus off the top 4 and make sure they can make the Europa league next season. But they should focus more on rebuilding the team next season.

I would say Manchester United management should look for a new coach now. Ten Hag can't do well with this squad, it's proven. And yet if Ten Hag is given a chance then Manchester United's performance will be poor next season. Manchester United may not get the benefits of appointing a new coach this season. However, their chances of doing well in the coming season will increase. However, it is unlikely that Manchester United will sack the Ten Hag before the end of the season. Despite spending a lot of money, Manchester United have not fared better.

Rather than forcing to qualify for Champions or Europa League, it's better for them to develop their club first.

They need to find two wingers, midfielders and few defenders. Although Onana sometimes make mistakes, but we have Bayindir who can replace Onana. While the other positions I mentioned before, Manchester United really lack of good players.

It will be too bad for a team like Manchester United to stay without European football next season, that's why I said they need to make sure they secure Europa spot. They can buy players in the positions you just mentioned in January. It will be hard for Manchester United to attract quality players in the summer if they are not offering European football next summer.

Yunno, last season when they gave that thrashing to Man UTD, I'd bet my savings that no one saw that coming cause they were a bit unstable whereas Man UTD were the clear favorites to win but it just wasn't their day at Old Trafford I guess. It's save to say they really burst the bubble of most of their fans(I mean Liverpool) but I guess that's why football is unpredictable. Is it that Jurgen hasnt gotten round the mystery of defeating Man UTD at Anfield or were they just not prepared enough because judging from the stats, it showed Liverpool had the upper hand. I'm just wondering what went wrong.

Last season Manchester United and this season Man UTD are completely different, they (Manchester United) were better than these set of jokers who played Liverpool and I wonder why Liverpool can't beat this weak United team but they did thrash the informed United last season.
Is it that Liverpool don't know how to beat a weaker team but can beat a much stronger team?
To be frank with you, I believe that Klopp and his boys underrated Manchester United with the injury crisis and some other issues we are still trying to find out, with all that happening with the red devils Klopp couldn't get the job done. To me is a big slap to the faces of the fans of Liverpool, that's why Pep Guardiola is been classified as one of the best in EPL, he (Pep) talks less and on the pitch he'd make sure he humiliate his opponent. Liverpool can't even survive the top 4 if care isn't taken.

I think Aston Villa's victory over Brentford was lucky because Brentford took the lead towards the end of the first half thanks to a goal scored by Lewis Potter. However, in the second half, Brentford lost one of their players, namely Ben Mee, in the 71st minute, which made the direction of the match completely belong to Aston Villa. Even after only playing with 10 people, Brentford's defense became weak and as a result Aston Villa managed to score 2 goals through Moreno and Watkins.

Victory in the away match with a score of 1-2 for Aston Villa and even though in the final minutes of the match they also had to lose a player due to receiving a red card, but that would not threaten Aston Villa's defense. But indeed losing Boubacar Kamara due to the red card will be quite detrimental to Aston Villa in the next match. This result also solidifies Aston Villa's position in 3rd place in the standings with the same points as Liverpool.

Indeed, Aston Villa victory was lucky because they were behind and seemed to have difficulty keeping up with Brentford game to be able to break through their defense, and being 1 goal behind was definitely difficult enough for Aston Villa to catch up or surpass it.
However, due to mistake made by Brentford player from the defender position, namely Ben Mee, the defense became mess and Brentford defense line which was previously very tight, had more empty spots.
From here the Aston Villa players to take advantage of the weakness of Brentford defense line and managed to create 2 goals to take the lead in winning the match.

Thanks to this victory, Aston Villa and Liverpool who are in second place, they both have 38 points.
In the next match, it is certain that Liverpool and Aston Villa will play their best and their competition will also be even tighter.

Getting red card from Aston Villa player Boubacar Kamara will indeed be very detrimental because it is certain that in the next few matches this player will be absent due to suspension, but it is not clear how many matches he will miss in the future.
