Have anyone watch the friendly match between Arsenal vs Nurnberg yesterday?

Kai Havertz was playing in left winger position, it looks like he will not replace Odegaard position in attacking midfielder. If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.
I didn't watch this pre-season game and it looks like a draw isn't entirely good for a team like Arsenal either. About Kai Havertz's game, I only saw highlights of his circulating on social media and indeed he played quite badly in this match. But I think Havertz is very natural to play like that because he also came as a substitute for Reiss Nelson who plays as LWF. On the other hand, Havertz and the other players who entered the field can be said to be second-tier players, so if you want to see good performance from Havertz, of course that's not the right benchmark.

Manchester City tried last season, they performed well and am sure they are still going to perform well in the coming season. I haven’t seen any significant changes in Manchester City squad yet, just slight changes in their squad and am sure it’s not really going to affect them next season, It was just like a magic to me how Manchester City overtakes Arsenal last season, Manchester City is a dangerous club we all should be scared off, I know they Will perform even better than last season, but let’s just wait for the season to start and see their performance.
Indeed, Manchester City did not make many changes because they already had the ideal squad plus a second tier squad that both had the same individual skills. Therefore, Manchester City can still maintain its performance and can even provide a bigger boost next season. Currently, the Manchester City club cannot be stopped and is the only club that threatens any club when they want to conquer them. Pep Guardiola is full of ideas which makes it difficult for other clubs to crack the strategy he employs when on the pitch.

However, all of that did not make Manchester City satisfied with last season's achievements. If you look at next season's targets, they will not waste every competition. Maximizing opportunities when other clubs are in a transition process. So that the steady momentum of Manchester City's game will be a benchmark that the club that is the most prepared so far is only Manchester City.
The only thing that has changed is that the Captain, Gundogan, is gone. He is a multi-talented midfielder. because as a midfielder he is also capable of being a goal-scoring machine like an attacker. in the season that will soon start Man City will play without him. But yeah, Man City so far has core players and reserves who are equally qualified. So losing Gundogan would mean nothing to the club.

It's just that this season will definitely feel hotter than last season. there will be many surprises. like last season, we were surprised by Arsenal's superiority, which continued to stand at the top of the standings for quite a long time. We don't know for this season which team will be like Arsenal last season.

Manchester city has paid the price long time ago, they over spent in building this team, even if they don't buy any players, they have enough bench to use, they are not lacking players. and they don't need to buy much as if they are building team. Pep has to fill in space of the players that are due to leave the club or the ones they  have sold out.

they have made English football entertaining, and feared by others. they are now the only giant of England. next season, they want to retain the Champions league and i see no club to stop them.

Mount made a good start to Manchester United after joining on 5 July.
He has a contract of up to 5 years with The Red Devils, the English giant.
Hopefully he can continue to play well in the future and can bring Manchester United closer to the 2023/24 Premier League championship trophy.
Manchester United have lost quite a number of their mainstay players from time to time and now is the time for Ten Hag to be to restore the strength of Manchester United.
The Manchester United debut of Mount was nothing short of amazing. His easy showing of his remarkable recovery abilities and presence on the pitch demonstrated his seamless inclusion into the team. His football savvy was evident in his ability to locate open areas and position himself wisely to receive passes. His flexibility as a player was demonstrated by the fact that he not only supported the defence but also helped the team attack. Emerging stars like Emeran and Fish also performed well and offered depth to the team performance in addition to Mount who sparkled in particular. Manchester united is experiencing a resurgence of hope as a result of these talented young player making their mark and the expectation of an excellent season is tangible.
Mount does have quite good playing skills and he even managed to find loopholes to be able to take advantage of the game situation.
This could be a great start for Manchester United as they have added players that Ten Hag can really rely on and it looks like later when all the Leagues start Manchester United can play better.
The clubs they have to face very seriously are Arsenal and Manchester City so it is hoped that Tan Heg can bring Manchester United to have strength when playing against these two teams which have been the strongest by holding first and second positions last season.

Liverpool still have no striker signing on their agenda currently. However Firmino's absence must push them to look for a replacement. They can't move on to the next season with only one striker in the end. Nunez's possible injury can cause us to see Gakpo as a centre-forward again. This wouldn't be much ideal for Liverpool at all. If they don't want to spend so much money on a striker than they can look for a loan option or a favorable low-cost striker as a subtitute of Nunez. Nunez will also need to make some good improvement this season to prove his skills to Liverpool as well.
The attacking line could be jeopardized this summer as a result of Robert Firmino's departure from Anfield; his absence could have the same impact as Sadio Mané's departure, which is a risk Jurgen Klopp is unwilling to take, the reds try their best without their crucial players. All I know is that Jurgen Klopp has everything under control, which is never an easy step to follow. Liverpool will once again stand strong since the coach has signed and solved their primary problem, which is the midfield, by bringing three new midfielders to the squad, proving that they're ready for anything.
Indeed after Sadio Mane left Liverpool, the quality of their play deteriorated noticeably..... Although towards the end of the season they were able to achieve some good results... Let's hope that the new players can add some good moments next season and Liverpool will start playing well from the beginning....

Arsenal first pre season match result didn't run well because they only can able to playing draw against the team from Germany second division Nürnberg and yesterday Arsenal was playing with some of their main players such as William Saliba, Gabriel, Thomas Partey and their main goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and during the match i can see Arsenal were very dominate but they had a hard time breaking down Nürnberg defense because since the beginning of match Nürnberg has displayed solid defense which make Arsenal players looks frustrate and they even several times to wasted the opportunity to scores goal and Arteta has been confirmed that he hasn't satisfied to see Arsenal performance because he thought Arsenal should be able to win the match and he will be evaluate this result
this is the reason I say I'm not sure about Arsenal's performance in the summer. we'll see for ourselves how Arsenal compete with a team that is much easier to beat but only ended in a draw in the pre-season match yesterday. supposedly with this pre-season match Arteta already has thoughts on how to strengthen his attacking line again because in the next match Arsenal will compete with Man United and if Arsenal will end up drawing again or losing this will be very embarrassing and I'm sure in the summer of the premier league there is no hope for Arsenal.
I'm not saying Arsenal is too bad, it's just that mistakes in managing the strategy consistently are ignored.

Arsenal shared points with FC Nürnberg in their first pre-season game. It was a tough one to decide the winner, with Mikel Arteta's men pulling the big fight for victory, they were upheld in the second half to secured a draw. The gunners dominated the game full time with crucial numerous counter attacks on the pitch, I believed it was not their lucky day. Kai Havertz made his debut for Arsenal, although he failed to record a goal or an assists. Mikel Arteta will sort out the playing position of Kai Havertz, either as a starter or backup player.
My point is, we don’t know what Arteta is cooking. The coach knows what he is cooking. Let him cook. Havertz's appearance came in the second-half and it was evident that Arteta has no plans to use Havertz as a striker, instead deploying the midfielder in support of Gabriel Jesus.
Havertz linked up well with his fellow midfielders, at times being given permission to drift into wide areas but on the whole staying central and acting as one of the main creators. He will need time to adjust to new surroundings and Arteta will give him that.

The thing that i don't understand is why arteta puts havertz as winger. It has proven that if havertz can do nothing as a winger. He was not even able to make a good crossing. A bit surprised to see the result was drawn while arsenal had so many chances to make as many goals as possible. I doubt if arsenal gonna be a strong candidate to compete with manchester city next season. I would like to call that arsenal is far from being called as a reliable opponent for city. There shall be so many improvements. The new players that bought by arsenal didn't give significant contribution to the club. I give 3/10 for havert's performance against numberg. Arteta is now facing another problem to give havertz its best position again. Arteta shall change his position into the attacking midfielder for upcoming pre match. So many people are mocking havert'z performance. That's pretty much the same situation that being faced by once jorginho started his debut in arsenal.

I don't see much impressive player being linked with Chelsea recently. I see only really young players being linked and it doesn't look like Chelsea have an aim to change the starting lineup much with new transfers for now. Actually Laporte and Dybala have also been rumoured players to join Chelsea.

But as I can see Dybala transfer is not happening as he wants to stay at Roma. Laporte still has 2 more years on his contract. However he couldn't play much in the previous season. We watched him in the Premier League in only 12 games. His market value is also only 25 million euros. Chelsea might be likely to sign him by not spending too much money I think if they push for him.

Young is one old player on the field right now that's underrated , he is 38 years old and he still playing in the best league in the world, from one club to the other, He's mate are all in the Saudi Arabia earning big, but he still choose to be in the premier league, and playing on the first team. i Enjoyed him when he was in his first season in Aston villa, he was classic, then Manchester united bought him , and he still played well , winning the league and cups.  Everton has a legend in their squad, and he will give his best to the club, Young never disappoint.
True but he is old now. I would not expect him to perform the same like when he was playing for manchester united or even villa. His age is the thing that makes me feel doubtful if he will able compete with young player.
I really surprised to see everton was signing him as a new player for the club. He's one of legend but he will not be so long in the everton. Im waiting for his performance in EPL again. Young really talented player when he was still under 30. I saw that some people were calling him as embarassing transfer by everton. It's caused by his age is not acceptable anymore to play in EPL. He regularly played for aston villa last season but villa is not interesting to extend his contract may be due to the his age.

What an irony. Young is the oldest player in Aston Villa.
I heard when you said that his mates are in Saudi Arabia enjoying money while he is still in England playing competitive football. I have to ask you if Young has gotten the opportunity to play in Saudi and turned it down. I know he hasn't gotten the opportunity. It is not all old people that Saudi signs and it is not everybody they sign.
As for Everton, I do not actually know what they want. Last season they played with younger people but was still battling relegation.

Arsenal were a bit unlucky in this match. It was obvious that they did not play at full strength, but nevertheless Saka scored a great goal and you can see how from young and promising Saka is turning into a wolf, who does not forgive the mistakes of opponents and always set up for a goal.

Well, and separately we should note Jorginho's autogoal from 35 meters. It is very rare to see such an autogoal in their own goal from such a distance. It is clear that there are still questions to the goalkeeper, who gave the ball to a player under pressure and after the match I would ask the goalkeeper why he gives such passes.

Yep Chelsea this season looks different they don't rely on money and only spent € 97 million so far, I don't know if Chelsea are overconfident or waiting for the moment to sign new players. To be honest personally I'm not sure about the current Chelsea squad I mean when compared to their competitors but yeah now they have Mauricio Pochettino, maybe he already planned something before making a decision. If Chelsea rely on the current squad then I doubt they can go into the top 5 unless the big news comes towards the end of the transfer window.
Chelsea made a lot of sales too. The club is trying to make its financial even better. Todd is not crazily buying the player again. There is a good progress happened with chelsea so far. I am glad the club is wisely spending money this season compared to last season when Chelsea was scammed with the purchase of Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk. Mudryk is now always debate with its followers in instagram. Mudryk is still like a kid that could not welcome with any complain or suggestion toward him.
Mudryk is actually the worst transfer by chelsea. Let's talk about the early performance from chelsea. So many players need to adapt with the situation in the club.
I won't expect the player will able to be click between one to the each other. Let's see how good the performance from the club in the pre season match.
First season as Chelsea owner was completely worst for the Todd Boehly as he has done many mistakes and spend huge amount without any planning and vision which gone into vain and team performance was also worst which is now having all new setup with new coach and many players are already offloaded and few are in talk which is surely bringing something positive impact even performance is still question mark, but things are looking better and his sacking of coaches are also having negative impact on teams moral with this all now they are doing few wise decisions and having their better things settled with most of the players are already offloaded and new are also entered.

Mudryk was surely the biggest blunder but no one can stop things like these because we also have few in other clubs as well with this all part of the business and most chances now they will be improved their performance and hopefully things will be also as par requirement which will also increase competition here in EPL.

If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.
Actually for now, one match to confirm things like positions for Havertz and some other players I think is impossible, because it is likely that for the next match Arteta will try a new placement for Havertz and this is a start.
He's still playing quite well with some of the real money players still needing time to play.
Odegaard was the only one who didn't play and I still haven't found Rice's name for Arsenal on the pitch or on the bench this time.

The 1-1 result was good enough for their first game in a friendly with Arteta's schemes and attempts.

@Jody.Drummer totally agree with you because during preseason managers tend to try out new positions and strategies but during the season they don’t use them unless they want to drastically try something new to stun an opponent. @Plaguedeath for the fee they have brought him he’s definitely not going to be a substitute player and he’ll definitely be in the starting 11 when the season starts.

I think, Liverpool manager is still working on it to ensure their president approve a huge amount of money for them to bring in young talented strikers that will make positive changes in the front so that Liverpool will end next season well. I don't think Liverpool manager will accept Nunez in this summer, because they have some young players in the training ground that can perform more than Nunez but they are looking for potential players like Erling Haaland, Mbappe and Victor Osimhen so that there will be full confident that they will get it right next season to embrace many titles, because their fans are not happy about their previous results. I believe Liverpool will do better next season to drag the first position with Manchester city in the premier league tournament because their coach will definitely bring potential strikers that will assist Salah.

If Arteta really want Havertz to play in left winger position, he would become a substitute player since Martinelli is solid in that position, same like Bukayo Saka who's solid in right winger position.
It's a new position for him. I don't expect arteta gonna put him as winger rather than attacking midfielder which is his real position. As you can see that above how bad his debut in arsenal.
I have no comments regarding what's gonna be his performance in EPL. It will be the same as when he was playing in chelsea or even worst. Arsenal has become savior for chelsea.

The match has ended with 1-1 as the final result. I know that if it's friendly match but arsenal could do better than it.

So far, Liverpool haven't recruited a centre-forward after Firmino left, even though they have to do it if they want to return to competing in the top 4 next season. But neither should we underestimate the strength in the depths of Liverpool current squad, as Nunez, Gakpo and Salah will probably make a bigger difference to their form up front for Liverpool next season. In addition, Nunez is expected to perform better than his first season with Liverpool because he is still trusted by kloop to show his quality next season.

Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister are two recruits who are good enough to add thrust in building attacks. It is estimated that these two players will be able to make Liverpool strong again next season, especially for Szboszlai he is still quite young and can be projected for the long term in the Liverpool team.
Liverpool is in good shape but as saying they still need striker and with the news of possible departure of two midfielders are creating something big is cooking because few reports are saying most chances if we have no deal between Real Madrid and PSG then we can expect Mbappé future here in England and if this happens then most chances he will join Liverpool because they are doing all requirements and most chances Jürgen Klopp will play this gamble because their squad is already having deep depth with the entry of Mbappé things will be completely on lever with Manchester City, and then we can expect another two-way fight for the title.

Officially nothing coming from any side, but reports are suggesting this option is also possible in case of Real Madrid will not go ahead with the current price range of PSG which is too high because they are already saying they want him on free agent base not paying anything to PSG which is going right now.
