The performance shown by West Ham in their last 4 matches at the start of this season was very impressive. West Ham even beat Chelsea and Brighton with the same score, namely 3-1. And yes, that was one of the surprises this season. What I never expected was that I would see this surprise from the West Ham club. West Ham is also the host in this match. But I must be honest in my assessment. That is, no matter how good West Ham is this season, their performance still cannot beat Manchester City. So I personally would not hesitate to bet on Manchester City. West Ham are the hosts in this match but because the opponent is Manchester City, I don't think being the host will have any effect. But surprises can happen. But I don't expect any surprises in this match.

I find it pointless to damage the careers of footballers because of incidents outside football. If a footballer commits a crime off the field, the judges should punish him. I don't think it's right for football clubs to act as judges and I don't think it makes sense for football clubs to carry out executions based on their own laws. Antony says he's innocent. What if he really is innocent? He is only 23 years old and media reports can have a traumatic effect on him. Anyway, I'll be happy if he doesn't play against Galatasaray in the Champions League, but I don't think it's right that he should be excommunicated before the judiciary makes a final decision.

In the recent incidents of abuse and rape or allegation of the above two in Manchester United, there is something I am not very much confident about or I did not know the reason why it happens. Does Manchester United actually have a law that preempt them to suspend any of their players that we are merely accused?
At least, this of Anthony was a mere accusation and he should have been allowed to play until the law emands him in custody before he could be relieved of his duties of playing for Manchester United. An unproven accusations should not be a reason enough to dismiss any player. If not very soon, they will have to deal with other players because their exes will start coming with baseless accusations

Ange Postecoglou has done well with his team's squad at the start of this season, he has won 3 of his 4 matches in the Premier League. The victory that attracted the most attention was when Spurs were able to beat Manchester United with a score of 2-0. but unfortunately, for me there was something missing with their victory. The reason is, the goals scored were not from the strikers they really relied on in the front line, for example Richarlison. As for Son, he was only able to score his hat-trick in the match against Burnley in Week 4.

So far, Postecoglou has led his team to play their matches well even without Harry Kane with them again. It's just that the coach has another job to improve and sharpen the strikers to become goal machines. It seems that Son will return to being a center forward in the next match. Week 5, Spurs will host Sheffield Utd. On paper, Spurs are far superior to their opponents and it is likely that they will continue their positive trend. but after the match against Sheffield Utd, Spurs' real test was when Spurs visited the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's headquarters. They will be tested on how strong Postecoglou's team can resist the Gunners. In the next match, they will meet Liverpool.
Well, this will be a serious challenge for the Spurs coach and squad when playing a match against a strong team. and if they remain consistent, Spurs have a big chance of becoming serious challengers in this competition even without Harry Kane. however, it doesn't seem like something easy at all.

The draw target is probably something they do in this match, considering their opponents are Manchester City who will be very difficult to beat even though they play at home. I know every club must want to get maximum results, but they also have to see who the opponents they will face are. West Ham did play well at the start of this competition, but the opponents they faced were arguably better as you said. So a draw might be a good result although a win would be even better. But with all the considerations they have to think about it too.

Why are you sounding bitter like you have something against Greenwood? Regarding his court case, it has been dismissed and not found guilty just like what happened to Mendy in Manchester City but the case of Greenwood in Manchester United is different. He has been a Manchester United player all his life but was swayed for Getafe till the end of the season, the loan contract can be reviewed and seeing that his name has been cleared off the book, I think we can say that he has a high chance of coming back to his root Manchester United.

Assuming Anthony's case has had pressure prior before the market transfer closes, they will have done the same to respect the reputation of Manchester United, that's why they had to amicably let him off the pitch for now until everything is settled, if the court found him guilty, he will lose his not only his place in Manchester United but also the endorsement deals he has with sponsors. Fear women though.

West Ham have had a pretty good start to the season. They have quite an impressive performance and they have not even been defeated so far. However, this will be a tough fight for them because their opponent is Man City, which in my opinion has a slightly better performance than West Ham (Man City always wins in every match they have played, and they have quite high goal productivity so far). Playing as hosts is certainly an advantage for West Ham but that doesn't guarantee that they can offset the opponent's game throughout the match.

Yes, this is complete nonsense. When a “word against word” situation arises, but one side suffers greatly from the very occurrence of such a situation, it is very easy to blackmail even an honest person. This is absolutely unacceptable and I am against organizations (in this case United) supporting the accusers until there is a clear decision from the court.

And if we look at Greenwood case, it took quite a long time to be able to play with the Manchester United squad again, and it also had a negative impact on his performance and results, and Greenwood was even removed in the end. I was worried about Antony fate, which might end up like what happened to Greenwood. In the midst of Antony good performance and starting to be taken into account, a scandal caught up with him. The Brazilian national team had already made a decision, and Manchester United had also just decided to drop Antony until the case was completely resolved. This means that there will be many weaknesses in the attack line which will be quite detrimental to Manchester United. Moreover, the Champions League season is getting closer, which will certainly increase the fans doubts.

Antony and other famous players are not normal people and they are celebrities, These famous people are usually a target for the news and there are even some people who want to destroy these players. I still don't know if the allegations are true or not but I know in the end Antony can't have good days even after the case is closed because we saw an example of the same case in this team about Greenwood before.

Antony has always become the main starter trusted by ten hag that played as a winger for manchester united. Many people are hoping him to come back as soon as possible. Some important matches are coming soon.
There's no good right winger owned by united other than him. United is also facing serious problem on its defensive. I can't even describe how horrible MU was when it was also losing one of the important winger used by the club.

It seems like that everything will be through hard ways for united. It appears antony to be a problematic player and manchester united will not protect him. Antony must be solving its problem by himself.

There would be no allegation toward him if he was not making a problem. Antony should have known his position as a professional footballer.

It is very unfortunate to see all this happening to young and good players recently, but what amusing the most is that it is coming from the same team again. I won’t conclude that Mason Greenwood career has eventually come to an end since he’s still playing in a team of top division of one of the topmost European league football. If he were to be playing in a third division team of any league, it would have been worst. I don’t know why Manchester United did not just terminate his contract with them but decided to still loan him out. Are they not trying to return him back to the team after some time when he has regained his full form at Getafe? I hope he improves and let the past slide and focus on claiming back his loss form and reputation in football.

Yes you are absolutely right. There are indeed differences in the conditions regarding Greenwood and Antony. Well I hope so too. I hope this problem can be resolved quickly. Because to be honest, I always feel uncomfortable when I hear that one of the clubs that I quite like is always having problems with some of the players it has.

Next week there are two matches that I think we should not miss. Namely the West Ham vs Man City match and the Man Utd vs Brighton match. And between these two matches, I am very curious about the results of the West Ham vs Man City match. Because these two clubs have not experienced defeat at the start of this season. I would not be surprised if Man City is unbeaten so far. But I was very surprised because West Ham were also unbeaten at the start of this season. I don't know how, but I hope there will be a surprise from West Ham in this match. If this were a match last season then of course West Ham would not be able to do much in the match against Man City. But I hope things are different this time.

Of course, if Tottenham are able to defend consistently in every match this season then Harry Kane departure will not have a big impact on them. Apart from that I think a big impact is starting to be seen in their front line because Richarlison was not in his best form at the start of the season because he was Ange Postecoglou main choice but his performance was far from expectations. Richarlison has played 4 matches at the start of this season but he failed to contribute through goals or assists.

So, little by little, Tottenham will feel like they have lost their goal machine, Harry Kane. However, Son brilliant performance has made Tottenham run at the start of this season look perfect. I'm sure they will improve in the winter transfer window to strengthen their attack line.

Greenwood is an English player and has to carry bigger burden from expectation for his career, contribution for Manchester United then England team as well as more observation on his life. Antony is a Brazilian player and he will carry less pressure from social media in England than Greenwood.

Greenwood is a home-grown player of Manchester United while Antony costs them a lot of transfer fee. They will have more reason to protect Antony as well as has softer internal punishment on the swing back. The investigation is in early phase but I believe it can be solved through backdoors behind the scene.

We will know the truth of this incident only after the court investigation. We are common people but Antony is a world class celebrity so we have to be very careful with Antony and celebrities like Antony. Life is easy for them and life is very difficult for them. If such an allegation was made against a common man, it might have been limited to common people but as he is a world class footballer, his incident is now causing a lot of criticism around the world. I think the Brazilian national team or Manchester United should have decided against him after the allegations were proven. Complaining against someone makes him a criminal, but that is not the case at all.

Even though the case against Greenwood has been closed. But his career at Man United is over. In fact, I think his reputation has really fallen. Well that's a shame because Greenwood was also a pretty good player before getting these legal allegations. And now Antony is also experiencing almost the same incident. I'm pretty sure even this one case will be closed eventually. But the case will be closed after Antony's career will also fall just like Greenwood. Greenwood has now gone to Getafe as a loan player. But many fans there did not welcome his arrival. Honestly I feel sorry for Greenwood. I hope Antony doesn't end up the same as Greenwood. Now I also feel that the Man Utd club is really unlucky.

I remember a few weeks ago when Tottenham lost Harry Kane, the coach of Tottenham said he didn't lose anything and they don't need to fill his place in the team. I was surprised when they said that because Harry Kane was a great palyer there. Now we can see leaving Tottenham by Kane didn't change anything at all and they had a good start while the best performance I saw from this team during this season was against Manchester United in the first week when they won the game with a 2-0 result.

First Mason Greenwood and now Antony... Manchester United are really unlucky to deal with this kind of problems as well. There are even memes out on the internet related to these news. It is just interesting to see this kind of incidents in the same team recently. As far as I know Greenwood is in the clear now too.

I hope the Red Devils don't have incidents like this anymore in the future. They should be able to just concentrate on their game to improve from now on. Because things aren't going on well for them these days. The players should be prevented from being demoralized.

Antony is indeed the first choice in the right side position but Man United still has alternatives if Antony cannot play. There are still Garnacho and Pellistri who can fill that position and there is also Mason Mount who can also play on the right side, it's just that he is still injured, so the most likely option that Man United has is to play Pellistri or Garnacho.

The problems that Antony is currently facing may affect Man United's performance but I think there are other serious problems that need to be prioritized first. Man United's defense is not doing well, while Ten Hag doesn't have many options that can be used as a solution.
