This has happened several times and indeed things like this actually happen like a seasonal disease for Arsenal because seeing from what always happens for them not only last season but previous seasons also sometimes it is the same and this will clearly interfere with their growth especially in performance problems.

This does need to be anticipated, it's just that the problem that is happening now seems like Arsenal are always difficult to make improvements in terms of the performance they have because Arsenal's performance problems always occur suddenly and sometimes it is difficult to anticipate.


Chelsea against Arsenal and Manchester City against Brighton are the matches that I am most looking forward to in this case because I think it will be very interesting even though in the end I will be in the Arsenal and Manchester City camp but I think Brighton and Chelsea will definitely give a good fight in this match. In another match there is a derby where Liverpool against Brighton although this is only a match that will be easy for Liverpool but derbies like this are always interesting because there will be hot tension for sure.

They have enough good players and they don't have to sign with Toni Kroos and pay him high salary. Signing with a free agent is good but paying a high salary for Kroos might not be what Manchester City will be ready to do.

The problem is will Kroos want to stay in Europe and if so, Manchester City will have chance. If he decides to leave Europe, move to Saudi Professional League, it's nothing wrong with him and it's just a trend from old European star players.

It is a good salary before appearances of Saudi Arabian clubs and I am sure if Kroos wanted to join Saudi Professional League, he will get better salary, maybe in two digits. Kroos is a very good midfielder and he deserves a bigger salary than just £6.8M.

Brozovic receives £30m/$38m per year from Al Nassr so if Kroos only gets £6.8M in Saudi Arabia, it is a joke.

Every football player needs rest after a long time playing without been benched. If they don’t get enough rest, what will follow next is fatigue. When they have fatigue, they don’t need to be tackled too much to get injured in the field of play. This was what happened to Bukayo Saka of Arsenal that have started every match for Arsenal, he needed to be benched in some unimportant matches but the coach didn’t do that which later caused them an injury when they needed him the most to play against Manchester City. If more players are not benched or rotated, more will still go to injury in their first XI squad.


Getting a replacement for Rodri won’t be an easy one for Pep Guardiola to come through now. This is not the transfer window and I doubt if they’ll get a good deal in the January transfer window to have an option to play in his place when he’s out injured. When De Bruyne was injured, Manchester was still able to cope and win matches but after Rodri’s red card, they’re was a lot of open space that led them to lose some important games which has caused them to drop down from the table. I think a replacement for De Bruyne; Kovacic is already there but for Rodri they haven’t found any yet which they need to have one as soon as possible when the league is still in his early stage.

I've said this for a while: De Bruyne's magic on the field is what made Manchester City so great. You can tell when he's not there, right? The medals, the fame, and the wins in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League are mostly his fault. It makes sense that their boss likes him. I get that every team has bad days and good days, but those last two losses? Ouch

Without a question, Haaland is a monster. He's been shining bright even when some of the other key players aren't there. But can he do what De Bruyne did? I'm not sure about that. The song isn't the same without the lead guitarist in a rock band

But of course it doesn't make sense with the issue of the coach's trust although indeed for some conditions I agree when saying that injury problems occur due to several factors such as facilities or busy schedules but I don't agree if saying this is a form of the coach's level of trust in players.
Indeed, this is not only about Manchester United but for now, especially in the EPL, Manchester United are the worst injured players because if you look at some sources of news at this time there are more than 8 of their players hit by a hurricane of injuries which makes this complicated for them and indeed this affects performance.

Kevin De Bruyne is expected to be absent for the next 4 months, and in my opinion the option of bringing in Toni Kroos to temporarily replace the position left by Kevin De Bruyne is really not right, it will be very detrimental for the Manchester City team because now Toni Kroos is no longer young and because of this As age makes his performance decline, it is very difficult in my opinion for Toni Kroos to compete in the Premier League which has a very fast game.

Actually the Manchester City team currently has no problems, this does not mean that the defeats they experienced in their last 2 matches have led to a lot of speculation that this team is in decline, the ups and downs in a team's performance is a very normal thing.

Here it is possible that there was interference from Erik ten Hag which made Casemiro so tired and I also can't blame Casemiro because he is the captain of the Brazilian national team. He had to give everything for his country in the world cup qualifiers and that's why he pushed his situation too hard and didn't pay attention to what he was suffering from.

Now Manchester United is faced with a difficult situation because they don't have a good defensive midfielder like Casemiro, but it looks like Erik ten Hag will rotate his players again this time and Amrabat will likely replace Casemiro who is injured in the next match. Against Sheffield in the EPL and Copenhagen in the UCL are 3 important points that Manchester United must secure.

Toni Kroos will be option for Pep Guardiola after losing Kevin De Bruyne have got injured, will be reunion if Toni Kroos agree move to Manchester City because Pep Guardiola ever working with him in Bayern Munich. Toni Kroos have excellent passing quality and he has good shot on target will be good option for Manchester City for short term option after Kevin De Bruyne injury and absent until one season. Manchester City have looking for right scheme right now how to make their attacking line Erling Haaland more productive again after not scoring goals in last several matches due less assists from Kevin De Bruyne who injured.

Midfielder is crucial position in one game play, there are have controlling with attacking and defense, to get better performance Manchester City must sign Toni Kroos and we will help Haaland get touch for scoring goals again.

Although Manchester City experienced a decline in performance due to the absence of De Bruyne but still, the quality between Manchester City when compared to Chelsea is clear. That Manchester City still has better quality than Chelsea, and Arsenal managed to beat Manchester City too. Therefore, I personally remain confident that Arsenal will succeed in defeating Chelsea in the next match. Also, I personally really don't care about the two consecutive wins Chelsea got, because basically the opponents Chelsea faced were also not the top team so it was natural that Chelsea managed to get two consecutive wins against mediocre teams like that.

I'm a bit uncertain about this year. It seems Man City won't secure their treble, and it's highly likely that they'll only bring home the League Cup to the Etihad Stadium. Despite the loss to Arsenal, Man City still remains the favorite to clinch the EPL title this season.

In terms of performance, Man City is still looking strong this season. However, the rumors about Pep Guardiola's interest in Toni Kroos may suggest a desire for midfield stability when coping with injury storms. Toni Kroos boasts excellent passing statistics and significantly influences the team's gameplay.

When the midfield is orchestrated by a top-class midfielder, goal machines like Haaland will undoubtedly find it easier to create scoring opportunities. There's no doubt about the clever attacking setup that Toni Kroos provides.

I can't even agree with your statement if de bruyne has only caused a little negative change for the club. De bruyne absent has been affecting the club a lot. Look at how big the contribution by him to thje manchester city since the previuos seasons.
De bruyne has been always contributing a lot in any season and he has been making so many assists and goals for manchester city even though people are always putting their focus into the haaland as a striker that was consistently scoring the goal for the club.
Haaland needs someone to support him. He can do nothing without de bruyne. Haaland's performance is not as good as last season.
It seemed to me that if haaland had been missing is aggresivity in scoring as many goals as possible. Haaland was a one tap striker. He needs someone to give him a chance.

I just read a glimpse of the Mundo Deportivo report, Manchester City are interested in recruiting Kroos next summer. However, I am not sure about the validity of this rumor. But let's just assume this rumor is what it is, I can understand what Pep wants from this Real Madrid midfielder. If we refer to Toni Kroos' contract this season, this is his last contract with Los Blancos, he will be a free agent next summer. considering that Kroos is an established player, reliable and qualified with experience. His actual role can still be relied on, even though he is 33 years old. After all, Kroos was under the tutelage of Pep Guariola when he was still managing Bayern Munich.

If Pep brings him to the Etihad Stadium, at least he can still be relied on for the next two seasons. even though his stamina is no longer what it was at a young age, the experience requirement is what Pep needs. The point is, Pep wants to implement his mainstay system with 3-2-4-1. With Kroos, the void that was left by several players in the last transfer window can be filled again. which means, even though Kroos was brought in at quite an old age. However, Pep can still rely on his contribution with the system he implements. and I think, it will work. It could be that City will be like last season when Gundohan was still there. even personally, Kroos is more ideal. Pep can make this German player the main starter in Manchester City's crucial matches. Well, actually if Pep Guariola really wants this midfielder from Madrid. they could bring him in next January. after all, money is no problem for City. However, it is very likely that Madrid will not release him until his contract ends. plus, we can't be sure if these rumors are true. Nevertheless, Pep would ideally look for a player who is a little easier than Kroos. However, with experience and established conditions.

Indeed, Kevin De Bruyne has been a mainstay in Manchester City's midfield in the last few seasons and even at the start of this season when Kevin De Bruyne suffered an injury, it had a big impact on the performance of the Manchester City team. It cannot be denied that Kevin De Bruyne is a very important player in the team. Manchester City with the enormous contribution that Kevin De Bruyne has made.
Currently, Man City's performance is very bad and the 2 consecutive defeats they have experienced have certainly made this team's mentality and self-confidence decrease, but even so, I believe that Pep Guardiola will do something to revive this team and the squad they have. Now I have no doubts about this even though Kevin De Bruyne is still absent due to injury.

If Manchester City really hire this German palyer they can have the best option they can have for Gundogan. Because after Gundogan left the team, Manchester City couldn't find alternative players and now Toni Kross is experienced just like Gundogan to fill his palace if the middle of the field also hiring Kross can't be hard because he is not very happy in real MArid because of not having enough chances during this season, maybe even Rel AMdrid will release him easily for Manchester City in the next transfer window.

Ten Hag's needs to stop everything he's doing because it will result in poor performance for the team. He also needs to believe in his players' abilities because otherwise, I believe Manchester united will keep on losing their matches. Ten Hag's should also know exactly which players will start in the first eleven because he cannot use anyone like that because he consistently has problems with his players at every club he coaches. I think the club will fire him if he doesn't stop doing it so the team can keep winning games. The best possible outcome for him is that. Simply put, I'm wondering to see how they perform against Sheffield United and whether they can win or lose.

Nothing intresting:


I am 99.99% sure that this is the essence of this machination. It would be good if the League monitored such transactions and punished them, but as we know, the League was unable to punish even more obvious violations and this cheating club remains invulnerable. I will definitely add this event to my “calendar” so that later I can check if I was right.

I agree with you and actually Chelsea has always lost to Arsenal in several seasons. Even last season Arsenal managed to win 2 times in a row. So even this time I think Chelsea's hopes of winning are very, very slim. Opportunities are always there but they are opportunities that are barely even visible. But in this match Chelsea are the hosts so Chelsea should also be able to score 1 goal. My estimate is that the resulting score is 3-1 for Arsenal to win.

Chelsea have indeed been a little better in the last few matches. But fighting Arsenal is not easy. Experiencing a little improvement will not be enough to beat Arsenal. And currently Chelsea even has 7 players who are still injured. Pochettino still has to think hard about this. And if Chelsea realizes that their strength will not be enough to beat Arsenal then Chelsea will most likely try to get a draw. But after I think again, maybe they will still use an attacking strategy. Because Chelsea fans will definitely not be satisfied if they see Chelsea only focus on defending.

Kevin De Bruyne is one of the key players in manchester city success in winning many trophies last season. Fans are looking forward to kevin de bruyne returning to the team and helping Manchester City defend its title this season. The two defeats experienced by Manchester City in the previous two matches meant manchester city was stuck in 3rd place in the standings.

Maybe if you look at the statistics on Kevin De bruyne's return, He will definitely return to the team in January. It was quite a long time and of course manchester city had to try hard to win the match before Kevin returned to the team. The upcoming match where manchester city will face Brighton is of course a match that is quite difficult to predict considering that Manchester City has lost twice.

I don't see with poor performance from Manchester City due absent Kevn De Bruyne because he was not in squad list on second matchday of Premier League, have drastically dropped The Citizen performance losing two matches in a row after absent of Rodri but he was on good condition right now after helping Spain qualify to EURO 2026. Upcoming match face Brighton Albion not have worry for Manchester City fans because Rodri will back to the team and return to winning trend.

Remaining two points from Tottenham Hotspur and still has chance for Manchester City return to the top position on upcoming match, Pep Guardiola will use other option for replacing Kevin De Bruyne position with Rodri back to squad exactly has option put Julian Alvarez as second striker.

If de Bruyne is unlikely to be in the squad this season, Guardiola will surely have a different plan. He might come up with a change in his entire match strategy and formation. Manchester City's performance is understandably slow now. They have also lost their last two Premier League matches. So now it is very important for Guardiola to bring changes in the match strategy. There are also rumors that Guardiola wants to bring Toni Kroos from Real Madrid in next winter transfer. Toni Kroos could be a worthy replacement for de Bruyne.
