Apart from the factors like you said which made Chelsea experience setbacks. I look at Chelsea now, I understand that as the new owner, Boehly wants a major revolution by overhauling the existing squad. The only thing I regret is, in the transition era it was not done gradually but immediately 'throw away' all the players from the Abramovic era without first retaining the pillar players as the framework of the team.

Maybe another factor was the purchase of players who were in a hurry, eager, all of them were bought and most of them were young players. As usual, if young players are not guided by senior players in their team, they will have difficulty developing because of their egos, and this has also been said by Frank Lampard before, that Chelsea players find it difficult to unite and there is a lack of solidarity in a team.

I think a lot of people would agree that the result is what’s important. We’ve seen games where a team, having the lower odds, go into a match with a supposedly better opponent and despite having very poor statistics in the game, they come out winner. And everyone recognizes the winner irrespective of how poor they played.
So I think Chelsea’s performance hasn’t been all that good as they’ve lost a good majority of total games played. That isn’t a good performance.

About Chelsea backing its coach, I think loads of support and encouragement can go a long way in making progress.

Well, many may not agree but Chelsea performances this season under Pochetinno has not been awful; instead the results have been terrible because there are no one at the end of the chances created to score a score; also with many injuries, Chelsea have had to rely only on Raheem Sterling to create chances and also score goals.

With players returning from injury; i think Pochetino can begin to get the desired results. Chelsea has no choice than to back their manager at this point.

Pochettino still has the opportunity to immediately improve his squad. I am very surprised by Chelsea's performance this season even though they have potential young players who of course have high fighting power to win in every match. But what happened, the Blues players seemed to have no motivation to give their best to their fans.

Due to Chelsea's poor results again, Pochettino's position as manager will again be at stake, he may be fired again if he is unable to produce a win. If we refer to the schedule, it will be difficult for Pochettino to bring Chelsea back up. Maybe the Argentine man's only chance will be against Fulham and Burnley, the rest of the time the Blues will face elite EPL teams in a row.

There's alot we're observing about the condition of Chelsew, they're the worst elite club presently in EPL. They have no improvement in league games, just the same old Chelsea last season, with branded new mediocre players. I just hope the clock doesn't hit injury time before the blues are able to stand back on there feet. Mauricio Pochettino have no single experience to manage Chelsea, he's just like the former coach, Graham Potter that demoted the performance of the club from elite to average club, they struggled to score goals and earn points.

Pouchettino might loose his managerial role at Chelsea due to their poor performance this season after spending much to  put the team back in shape, alot of fans are already complaining anout the incompetency of the manager and sooner or later the board might consider finding a replacement for him, , i feel so bad for Pouchettino already cause he's doing his best to help the team succeed but nothing is working for them currently.
I belive the gradual recovery of United players woulld help the team get back in form and very soon we'll start seeing Manchester United playing good football again,  Manchester unoted failed to invest on their defence this summer now they're
paying for it because their  present defence keeps making errors that makes them to concede goals

I agree with you and I think Pochettino as well knows that with the way things are going with Chelsea he may not longer be incharge of the club if Chelsea don't experience a positive change from now till end of September. Not only the supporters of Chelsea are chanting for him to be sacked but the players also are being fed up playing under him because it seems their performance can't improve under him and I see no confidence in him again as the head coach of Chelsea.

I can feel the pain which Chelsea fans are feeling, there expectation was too high on pochettino, there expectations was high on the players pochettino signed, but there is not Changes in there performance,  it’s even getting worst, 5 matches have been played this season, and Chelsea won just 1 match, drew 1 match and loses 3 matches. It really bad for club that just spent huge amount of money signing player’s. I will say pochettino should be given more time, if Chelsea can sack him, they are just adding more problems to the existing problems, he should be given more time, let’s see if he will be able to solve Chelsea current problem with time.

Manchester United's performance is poor this season, people already lose confidence in Manchester United for now, the defence is just too weak, which is making them concede goals easily in every match, their opponents are always finding it easy to penetrate, and their goalkeeper is performing below what Manchester United fans were expecting, he does concede goals in most of the matches Manchester United have played. I just hope his performance is going to improve with time.

Chelsea's decline is difficult to understand, although many say they are too young and inexperienced but I don't think that's the right reason. I suspect there are other problems that might cause the Blues' performance to plummet. Conditions in the dressing room or perhaps less harmonious management could be the main cause. There was news in several media that stated that Bruno Saltor and Claude Makalele had also left, maybe there was something wrong even though it didn't come out to the public. I think Boehly must immediately improve the non-technical side so that Chelsea's condition returns to stability.

Chelsea performance this season seem a bit poor there last match against Aston Villa was actually suppose to be a win match for Chelsea but I was surprised how the match ended, sterling had a very good chance to score the goal one on one with the goalkeeper and he just missed the opportunity, they had a lot of good chances to score but non was converted and they got disorganized after the Gusto had the red card so the opportunity came out for Aston Villa to quickly utilize it by dominating Chelsea, with the struggle they had facing the Aston Villa I don't no how is going be on there next match which Gusto will not play due to the red card and he is going to miss a straight two matches.

Chelsea today is no longer the Chelsea of ​​old where there were many experienced players who could control the game plan. Currently the Chelsea squad is filled with new players who basically still need adaptation, so it is always normal that many of their plans still fail and fans have to be patient with the process.

I don't expect Pochettino to be fired before finishing the first half of the season. Even though Pochettino also failed, at least Chelsea gave him a chance. Pochettino should have the courage to rotate his strikers or try experimenting with changing the positions of his players, so maybe this will have a good impression on the result of the match.

Maybe his decision so far has been quite controversial and I actually don't fully support Erik Ten Hag's decision, however, if his actions were correct then it should also be followed by the consistency of good results obtained by Manchester United, but in reality it all didn't go smoothly. If we look at Manchester United's current situation, it is very chaotic, from injured players to problematic players and it seems like no one expected something like this, including Erik Ten Hag. Now they are going through a season full of obstacles and dangers that are always lurking behind them and if the Red Devils are not careful, it is possible that they could suffer the same fate as Chelsea.

Chelsea issues is not that the players lack experience, they are just too scared of scoring and they usually feel relaxed when they are leading by a goal, they lack drives and courage to change a game. My reason for this is the fact that you can't say Sterling lacks experience but you see he still lack the finishing even the others like Enzo, Conor, Chilwell and some others. Lastly, we saw how they played Liverpool, though they still lack finishing but their performance was good.

It's true that Sancho would be better off leaving Old Trafford in January, it's unlikely Ten Hag will use his services this season. Internal conflicts like this actually happen a lot in other big clubs, but in the end the coach is always the more dominant party and benefits. Management will also not tolerate conflicts like this continuing, because to some extent it will affect the atmosphere of the dressing room and the team performance.

Man United is improving itself for the better, although the victory over Burnley cannot be said to be a turning point in its overall performance. Ten Hag has had more internal problems in his second season at Old Trafford, however yesterday three points at least calmed fans anger over his previous poor performance.

The injuries to a number of mainstay players certainly made Ten Hag very worried and as a result, Manchester United were unable to perform well so they had to accept unsatisfactory results, but I don't agree that this is always an excuse for Ten Hag. A manager must of course be able to think of other alternatives if the initial plan fails to be implemented. I see that Manchester United's game is still very individual, to the detriment of the team as a whole. Ten Hag certainly has to identify this, the players' selfishness must be immediately evaluated. Bruno Fernandez and Rashford are still showing that attitude. I really hope that Erik Ten Hag will immediately remove the captain's armband from him because he is not suitable to be a leader on the field.

I think Ten Hag is one of the coaches who is included in the ranks of world class coaches so far. We know he is not yet on the same level as Klopp, Pep Guardiola and many other coaches, but Ten Hag certainly has the qualities that are expected to have a positive impact on Manchester United's game.

Injury factors and the absence of several main players have made Manchester United's performance poor, moreover there are internal problems between players which may have made things worse. Ten Hag has its own decisions and policies in organizing strategies and game plans, but perhaps some of its players don't really care about its instructions and tend to play for themselves. They have sacrificed the team for themselves, this is another factor that must be solved in a team.

Bit clubs are still finding hard on sorting the players for the first team. Man United finally won but that don't mean they don't have work to do in the team.
The players for Man United are encouraging, Chelsea has players with names we don't know and have not seen play. So far Man United are not better than chelsea not even Chelsea is better than Man United.
Last season results backs the manager for another season. For Chelsea, Pochetino hasn't achieved anything he may be saced if the clubs decides with the poor results.

Exactly, a coach can't do anything when players get injured, and when they play bad behavior, Ten Hag can't do anything other than manage the bad situation they have.
For example in the case between himself and Sancho, he couldn't do anything other than punish this palyer because he obviously didn't respect the red line is the team.

As a professional manager, you don't need to point fingers when a player lets the team down except when it is obvious on the pitch that everyone has already seen, Maguire came to my mind and that is why they have benched the ass out of him and always cover up when fingers are pointed towards him, but Erik doesn't want to accept his own mistake, he thinks the players are always his problems, maybe he forgot that proper management is key in guiding players to win a match.

Another problem is misunderstanding with players, there was a time like this when he suspended Rashford for sleeping off and couldn't attended a meeting, that was the excuse I saw online but Erik took things personal anytime players don't met his expectations, he frustrated the playing style of Ronaldo until he left the club and now, there is a new battle of him and Sancho and he has suspended him from all the facilities in the Manchester United, he need to calm down and build a strong relationship to win Premier League and the Champions League otherwise they will only sink like Chelsea.


They said De Gea was the problem but so far, Onana is even the worse, they should try and work him to be the best they wanted. If it was De Gea they desperately wanted him to live, Manchester United would not be in this condition, worst case is 6 place in the ranking but it seems Onana has created more jokes than his performance since his debut in the club, there is more needed from this club to come out brighter.

I knew both teams where going to share the points,based on their current performance, the both teams are in a very good form and non wouldn't want to concede defeat and drop a point, the league is gradually getting tougher and at this point most big teams would so careful to drop points, well I enjoyed the game it was so entertaining and I love how Tottenham retaliated whenever they concede a goal, thanks to their current striker and captain Son, who got a brace in the match.

Very Soon I think Todd Boehly will get impatient and decide to take a drastic action concerning Chelsea's poor performance, he's invested alot in the club this season and deserves good performance from the team, Boehly might be forced to terminate the contract with their manager Pochettino and offer him a sack letter of he's not able to figure out how to handle the poor performance of the team.
