Although there is a slight difference in Manchester City's performance at the start of this season, I think it is very inappropriate to judge Manchester City to have been bad at the start of this season. Because everyone can see that after seven matches at the start of this season, Manchester City is still ranked first and that can be very accurate evidence that Manchester City has not been that bad at the start of this season. In fact, Manchester City will still be a candidate to win the Premier League this season.

It does not matter with a good start in the last season and maybe a poor start in the current season because anyway, that Manchester City remains the superior team. Therefore, although Manchester City have suffered one defeat this season but still, Manchester City are still at the top of the Premier League table and also, Manchester City are also undefeated in the Champions League in the current group phase . So yes, it is not right if you might consider Manchester City to be weak just because of De Bruyne injury. Because anyway, even though De Bruyne is injured but the fact is Manchester City can still compete well too, so De Bruyne injury will certainly not make Manchester City bad.

Talking about Manchester City, a team that can be said to be quite strong in this competition and also in the Champions League. Here I want to say something from my point of view, regarding this team. If I noticed at the start they played this competition, also in the Champions League. In fact, Pep has not shown the strength of his team's squad.
Let's look at the matches they have played throughout this season, Pep has done a lot by rotating his players. Apart from that, Pep also tried to apply several different patterns. and apparently, he didn't really care about the outcome of the match. what he wants is that the system he implements is effective and the team plays well.

Defeat against Newcastle in the EFL Cup, Pep tried to give opportunities to several players such as Oscar Bobb, Sergio Gomez and several other second-tier players. Likewise with Alvarez who is believed to be the sole striker. the result is not satisfactory. but it's natural, because it seems like he's doing an experiment. Another defeat against Wolves in the Premier League, could not be separated from Ruben Dias' blunder. Plus, the absence of several important players such as Bernardo Silva, Rodri, J.Stones and of course De Brunye, who was injured from the start.

However, Pep is still trying to experiment with rotating his players in the match against Laipzig on matchday 2. As I said, Pep doesn't seem to care much about the final result of the match. However, he wants to ensure that the squad he cares for performs with its best performance. and yep, City was able to overthrow Leipzig, even though substitutes like Alvarez and Jereme Doku were the decisive winners. BTW, now Pep Guaridola has returned to dominantly implementing the 4-2-3-1 pattern.
although, there are several rotations that he does. I'm sure, gradually Manchester City will return to playing as they should, even without De Bruyne. and currently, City remains at the top of the standings even though they only have a one point difference from Spurs and Arsenal. This week, City will visit the Emirates Stadium. I'm curious what system Pep will apply in the match against Arsenal.

Well there performance this season is not really bad and even though they've lost a game, they're still the league leaders and would continue dominating for a while and if you noticed they're even doing fine in the champions league cause they're leading their in their group with about 6points, i have this believe that City  would beat Arsenal in their next match, though it's not going to be easy based on Arsenal's current performance.

 It came as a surprise to me too, if Manchester City where to even lose any game it should be that of Arsenal's but losing against Wolverhampton wasn't really expected and it even made many bettors lose their games lol, well the fact that they lost one game doesn’t write them off cause they're still very strong league contenders and might win the league again.
Even though Manchester City has been the defending champion of the Premier League for the last 3 seasons, on average they have lost 4.6 times in the last 3 seasons. This means that Manchester City can still be beaten by anyone, but as long as they are able to play better and prevent City players from scoring goals. But with their average defeat clearly visible in the last 3 seasons, there are only a few teams that can beat City.

Wolves are the first team to beat Manchester City this season, but I'm sure there are other teams who can do it including Arsenal, Liverpool or others. The probability of Manchester City winning in each match is always high, but that does not always guarantee that your bet will win. Manchester City is the strongest team in the Premier League this season, but they have the possibility of being beaten.

Manchester United didn't do well in the beginning of the season last year and they are doing the same this season. In the last two games they lost unexpectedly vs Crystal Palace in EPL and Galatasaray in Champions League. Defensive errors are unforgivable in such highly intense competitions and injuries couldn't be an excuse there.
Their next two games aren't that hard before returning again in Champions League and facing just next Manchester City. I am not very optimistic about them in Champions League nor vs City.

I understand, for the most part I agree with you, but I stated in my post the fact at the end of the season that things have more or less normalised. Injuries to players are something that the coach can't influence, so it's hard for me to say that in this case injuries don't play a role, they just directly influence it

Player injuries have certainly affected the team's performance, especially if it is the main player. There are many cases where a team loses its best form when one or two of their key players are absent due to injury, remember Liverpool last season?

However, it's not just player injuries that have hit Manchester United, the performance of their key players has dropped significantly compared to last season. Rashford is the player who is increasingly being talked about, but there are several others too. So it's no surprise why Manchester United's performance this season seems poor, there's clearly a reason instead of just blaming Ten Hag.

So I think the absence of one or even two key players on the pitch has a coordinated effect on the result, maybe that's why MU players have become worse. Ten Hag's problem that can be blamed on him is that he can't find a competent replacement for an injured player, but that's the most I could charge him with..

Manchester City's performance at the start of the season was a bit slow. Yet they have managed to maintain continuity. They won 6 out of 7 matches. The main reason for City's slow start to the season is that two key players in the City squad, Silva and De Bruyne, have missed several matches due to injuries. However, Manchester City's performance under Guardiola was excellent.
Yeah sure but Manchester city later peak form, so actually wining 6 matches at of 7 is a commendable performance, of course behind every successful club lies a good coach, so all thanks to Pep Guardiola who has being the great pilot that has lead Manchester City to it continues success with his excellent coaching patterns, I actually have a strong feeling that Manchester city will still win the premier League again this season, even without the injured players they will still get to there destination because all the guys are good, however there next match against Arsenal is going to be a tough truly because Arsenal are also in a good form this season but anyhow i have a strong feeling that Manchester city is going to win the match.

City are unstoppable,  Pep Guardiola gave a clear warning about chasing the treble thus season again,  Arsenal and Arteta have achieved big games still unbeatable in the Premier but we shall see that coming to an end on Sunday against City.
Arsenal players are getting injured while City players are returning.
Whoever wins the game will go first position. Arsenal disappointed last season  they should not follow same ways of the previous season.

It would be interesting to watch the performance that would be put up by both Arsenal and Man City when they meet this weekend. Man city may have the upper hand to win the game but Arsenal isn’t going to make it any easier for them to do so.
If you look at the statistics of the two clubs, it is clear that Manchester City is more favored because every time they meet, Manchester City always wins the match and what's even better is that the betting odds are quite tempting for both clubs. I am happy with this match and meeting. Of course, Manchester City also wants to secure their position at the top. standings and need three points to stay there.

I know Arsenal is not a club that can be underestimated because they always play full of surprises, of course the match will be a little complicated for Manchester City to win the match, Arteta might learn from the experience of the meeting between the two, which so far Arsenal have always lost, who knows, this week they could give Manchester a surprise city.

That's still hard to predict this game with two days left and I'm sure Arteta wants to take revenge because of what they lost in the last season. Arsenal hot improved a lot and they bought many players during the summer which can help the team to have a better performance time time against Manchester City. Also, they can use their player Saka, while he was injured until a few days ago. The rates for both teams are near and in the last five meets they had, Manchester City won four games and Arsenal won one game.

Anyway, I  wouldn't  compare Manchester City's performance last season with that of this season. Last season, they were hot in their football matches performance. Winning the big and small teams. But these seasons, they are not. There is a bit of difference in their performance, even though they have won all but lose their match of recent.
I never believe that If Manchester City should have their first match lost of the season, it shouldn't be Wolves. Losing to the Wolves made me realize that, this season's trophy of the premier league might not fall in their favor to lift the premier league trophy. Another team might likely lift the trophy.

Inasmuch to Manchester City performance, they doesn't look that ready to do another treble this season. They have to work on their performance to be able to lift this season premier league title

I understand everyone must be surprised by the defeat suffered by Man City against Wolves. But the defeat experienced by Man City actually does not indicate a significant decline in Man City's performance. Because in this match Man City really had many opportunities to score goals. It's just that Wolves really defended well in that match. And Wolves, who only had a few opportunities, were able to take advantage of them very well. I think this is what is interesting about football. But to talk about betting, I think this result really annoyed everyone. Because everyone really didn't expect a 2-1 result due to Wolves' superiority. Annoyance and disappointment are definitely what most people feel about the results of this match. But Man City losing to an underdog team actually happened last season too. So I wouldn't think this result could make Man City have a small chance of staying at the top until the end.

But the match against Arsenal will indeed be the deciding factor. Will Man City remain firmly at the top of the rankings or will Arsenal or Tottenham temporarily take over that position? This season is a little different because the competition is fiercer. But I personally like this season more than last season.

I don't know what you all are thinking but from my point of view Manchester City team has started this season very badly than last season. Last season had a fantastic performance which deserves praise but the team's performance has suffered a bit since Kevin DeBruina left the team due to injury at the beginning of this season.

The main reason for City's slow start to the season is that two key players in the City squad, Silva and De Bruyne, have missed several matches due to injuries. However, Manchester City's performance under Guardiola was excellent.

Hopefully Manchester City will be able to maintain this consistency of their performance. If Manchester City can win the next match against Arsenal, then I think we will see Manchester City at the top of the Premier League points table for a long time. But losing points to Arsenal will see Arsenal occupy the top spot in the table. I am looking forward to the Arsenal vs City match.
  I expect the citizens to floor the Gunners in their home when they meet on Sunday. Arsenal have been impressive of late but they're a long way from beating Pep's men and haven't been able to win in all their 13 times they've recently met. As it is, Guardiola has trained his boys to see every game as important and a game like this will not be treated differently.
I know Arteta will want to pull the rug from under Guardiola as they pay a visit to the Emirates Stadium but the question to ask is, can he?

Manchester City favorites in this match cannot be said. Because this is Arsenal's home match. Arsenal players are more confident at home. Also because the bond between Arsenal players is very strong. So this team will play well against Manchester City. Guardiola will have to come up with a new strategy to beat Arsenal. Manchester City defender Rodri will be absent for this match. He is one of the most important players in City's defence. Both Arsenal and City have very strong defences. Manchester City have conceded 5 goals in 7 matches and Arsenal have conceded 6. So it will be difficult for both teams to score in this match. Both teams are strong, but I guess we won't see many goals in this match. The match is likely to be a 1-1 draw.

Yes he can, Arsenal already show how strong they can be against Manchester City when they played in the community shield and Arsenal were able to win that. Arsenal's home is also a kind of stronghold for the club, and even without the threat of Saka, they can still hand the citizens their second defeat of the season. De Bruyne whose one favorite team to play in the premier league is Arsenal will not play, Rodri will not also play, so Arsenal with their strong midfield can have a square battle with Manchester City's midfield. Manchester City is the pick of many people to win the game, but Arsenal can do something, the players have a better mentality than last season.

My major problem right now is not about Bukayo saka, although we know saka has been bringing his A game throughout this season
The biggest threat to any team when they face Arsenal is obviously Saka, this player has remained constituent for Arsenal since he breakout season and many have even compared him with Mohammed Salah although I think he is not yet there but he can surpass Salah in the future.
Aside Saka Martin the captain of Arsenal has also been in good form and generally Arsenal weak Link in the front is Kyle havertz and then they have been letting too many goals pass them and Manchester city is a club that is very good at punishing defense, I fear for Arsenal at the back but I believe they would cause Manchester city lots of problems in the front so let see how the match goes .

From reports so far, Bukayo Saka will be a major doubt to play against Manchester City in their English Premier League game this weekend and that's why I think City has derived an advantage and morale booster that'll help them defeat Arsenal in that game. Saka has been very instrumental to Arsenal's good run in the league since the start of the season and without him on the pitch, it'll beore difficult for Arsenal to face a big team like City.
That being said, I'm not gonna write off Arsenal just because Saka might not feature in that game because Arsenal has other players who can as can as well beat City.
Yes, looking at the injury that Saka suffered in the match against Lens, it is very likely that he will not be able to play when Arsenal face Manchester City. Even though this match is quite important for Arsenal because they are facing a team that is quite strong in the Premier League so they need the perfect squad to be able to beat Manchester City. Let's see whether Arsenal will be able to achieve maximum results at home without being strengthened by Saka or they will fail again in this match. Saka absence also really confused Arteta because Saka was always Arteta mainstay in every match.

Manchester City might benefit from Saka injury because he is quite a dangerous player in Arsenal's front line this season. For Manchester City, they lost in their previous match, so when they come to the Emirates Stadium, they will also face big obstacles in this match. But I'm sure Pep will be able to handle it in this match. Haaland also experienced a decline in performance in several matches because he seemed to have difficulty scoring goals. We could even see this in the match against Wolves when he failed to contribute with a goal.

Saka is injured, but he still gets called for his national duty. I don't know if that was a good move or not.

But anyway, this is going to be very good news for Manchester City. Bukayo Saka is an important player for Arsenal. And not having him available is definitely going to be beneficial for Manchester City. right now, Manchester City is at the top of the table. But in the last match, they had an unexpected loss. So they will be very determined to win this match. And this injury news is definitely going to be great to hear for them. But that does not mean Arsenal will not have any chance to win this match.
My major problem right now is not about Bukayo saka, although we know saka has been bringing his A game throughout this season. we all know Manchester city is a strong team, but looking at Arsenal's last performance was not giving and I never expected the defeat. Let's watch out, am not going to just judge base on there last performance

I don't consider Ten Hag a failure this season, but of course some people who are angry at Manchester United's bad results will still consider Ten Hag a failure. I agree that Ten Hag failed to start this 2023-2024 season with a good and consistent start, but all of them have to admit that player injuries have had a big impact on the game.

I tend to hope Ten Hag isn't sacked so soon, meaning he'll have to get more support for a longer stay at Manchester United. Ten Hag has the ability to make Manchester United compete at the top, but whether he is successful or not really depends on the performance of the players throughout the season.
Yes, I agree with you that Erik Ten Hag should at least be retained at Manchester United because I believe this experienced coach is able to improve the quality of his players at the end of the season with better achievements and for me Manchester United's current bad streak is not the end of everything because I remember In the previous season, Erik Ten Hag provided services for Manchester United with extraordinary improvements and I am also sure that Ten Hag is able to improve Manchester United's bad situation and we will see a very surprising increase in performance in the next few matches.

This is indeed a very painful season for Manchester United, various problems have come and gone, conflicts with players and also followed by the number of injured players of course make Ten Hag dizzy, moreover the Transfer Exchange has been closed so there is no other choice but to utilize existing players. I also don't think that Ten Hag should be fired, because obviously even if he is fired it will not necessarily fully solve the problems that are happening, Ten Hag knows more about the details of the problems that are happening at this club and with that I think only consideration from him can produce a better solution to restore the club's performance.

For significant changes this season I think the chances are very small for Manchester United because obviously this is a very difficult task for Ten Hag, I am sure that by keeping Ten Hag the situation will improve again but not this soon, but maybe in the coming season, it is clear if we look at their position now, they are far behind and almost at the bottom of the standings in the competition, meaning that this problem is very heavy and so is the solution that must be found very difficult. But well nothing is impossible, hopefully in the next match they can perform better.

There's a high chance for Ten Hag to get fired this season because of the result they got so far. I'm sure Manchester United doesn't want to lose everything because so far in the Champions League they don't have a good situation at all and there is a chance for Mcashhter United to lose this tournament sooner than they should, also they are in 10th place of the league with the same situation with Chelsea. But still, the Mcnshter United players want to keep this coach and they support Ten Hag.
The issue of Manchester United not being in a good situation in two different competitions is the main concern of all observers and all fans. But there will be a chance for Erik ten Hag regarding rumors that he will be fired. I personally don't care if the end result is that I have to make a decision to fire for the sake of something that can have a positive impact on the future of the club.
The club really doesn't want to lose everything this season.

My attitude is very simple that nothing is higher than the club. If ten Hag has to be fired because he is unable to bring Manchester United to a better situation, I will support that decision.

Manchester United in difficult situation right now after underperformance in Premier League and UEFA Champion League, having bad trend last several matches make Manchester United loss compete with top fourth standings position in Premier League and they got completed problem after two loses in Champion League matches. Possibility return to the top fourth standings position still not close yet but Erik ten Hag must improve Manchester United performance. Current Premier League standings, Manchester United have seven points gap from Liverpool and actually if have better performance upcoming match not difficult returning back to Champion League spot standings.

Manchester United have two weakness opponent teams upcoming match and should take maximum points before facing  Manchester City on matchday 9
It would take a miracle for Manchester United to qualify for the next round in the Champions League, cause based on their performance this season if they fail to improve i don't see how they'll be able to win their next four Champions League matches and get about 12 points they could beat Copenhagen home and away and maybe win Galatasaray but i don't see them winning Bayern Munich.

 Erik Ten Hag really needs to think fast and come up with a strategy to start winning games, he needs to change his formation to a three man defence instead of playing Amrabat in a position that he's not familiar with, Ten Hag is also poor in decision making most times and that's something he really needs to work so as to help improve his teams performance however i think United players are lacking the confidence and really need a psychologist to boost their confidence level.

Exactly as you say, I don't think Ten Hag's sacking is the final solution that Manchester United should consider following the team's dip in form this season. Ten Hag still has a chance to fight to improve the quality and performance of his team before he falls too far behind the top of the standings. But I don't dare say Manchester United can return to the top 4 because Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are too strong this season compared to Manchester United.

If Manchester United succeeds in taking advantage of the mistakes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City, then of course Ten Hag can close the points gap with them by winning more matches. This will definitely be difficult because Ten Hag's squad has not yet improved, but it is not impossible either.

This is a very difficult situation for Erik Ten Hag because many Manchester United players have suffered injuries so it has a big impact on their performance, but whatever the problem, now the one who must be responsible for Manchester United's poor performance is Erik Ten Hag and it is very natural that he is now starting to be doubted. and even many fans are starting to urge Erik Ten Hag to be fired, I think that's normal, so far Erik Ten Hag seems to have failed in managing the Manchester United team.

Erik Ten Hag's future with Manchester United began to falter over their failure in several matches, including in their matches in the Champions League which until the 2nd match they could not win. Naturally, supporters question whether ETH is a figure who deserves to be in the coaching chair or not, because he has not been able to create something that really brings fresh air. It may be true that last season he brought Manchester United to the Champions League this season, but that is not enough because there must be good progress between before and now.


They should have been better this season with the list of players in but things aren't going as planned. The Manchester United job isn't an easy one. You have to be ready for whatever comes.
Erik Ten Hag deserves the backing of the club and I'm sure he will get that. Do not listen to whatever you bear regarding him being sacked. His Manchester United job should have been in doubts only if he didn't get them qualified for the Champions League and winning a trophy last season.

He will have to change patterns and drop some players who aren't doing enough for the onward movement of Manchester United. Supporters are not happy, but they should know in the past, Manchester United have seen worst than this and cane out strong.
I think Erik Ten Hag is still given time to improve Manchester United's condition. Even though he has not been able to bring United to a decent position, he has not received a harsh ultimatum at all. Erik Ten Hag must make the most of this time before management really makes a final decision. The match against Brentford must be a turning point for the Red Devils to return to winning ways, there is no reason to lose points again in that match. Therefore, I really agree that if the Dutch manager can overhaul the composition of his squad, especially in Onana's position, he should immediately be rested for a while.

The main reason for City's slow start to the season is that two key players in the City squad, Silva and De Bruyne, have missed several matches due to injuries.

Hopefully Manchester City will be able to maintain this consistency of their performance. If Manchester City can win the next match against Arsenal, then I think we will see Manchester City at the top of the Premier League points table for a long time.
