They made two good decisions, sacking Ten Hag and appointing Ruud van Nistelrooy as their temporary coach. With Ruud, in latest four matches, they got 3 wins and 1 draw, that are positive results to bring good sentiment back in their club.

Another big decision is appointing the head coach position to Ruben Amorim, one of most interesting young coaches around Europe. We can not say it is a good decision or not for now, but time will help us knowing about success or failure of this decision. If Ruben Amorim can do his job successfully like Xabi Alonso in Bayer Leverkusen, it will be a very great success for Manchester United and can open a new successful era for their club too.

Ruud with his good performances as Manchester United's temporary head coach, will have better CV to join other clubs including big clubs.

We cannot judge Pep Guardiola's performance only in his last few matches because since the beginning Pep has built Manchester City very strong and they have even won everything so don't just because they slumped in the last few matches Pep is blamed, I don't think so and Manchester City's slump in performance in the last few matches is inseparable from the many players who are injured and that is normal, all teams have felt that way and I am also sure that Manchester City has the strength to be able to rise again.

The management has made the right decision by firing Erik Ten Hag if they continue to retain him Man United will continue their bad record this season, it was proven that after Ruud took over the position as temporary coach, he was able to provide quite good results, meaning that so far the team's fault does not lie in the condition of the players but in the coach's inability to build club, basically Erik Ten Hag is not the right coach for Man United.

From what you said I think there is some truth to it because Pep Guardiola is a very respected and appreciated manager at Manchester City to this day. And about the defeats they have experienced in recent games is due to other factors such as injuries to key players who are often relied on and also the performance of other teams who have been much better this season. So I don't think there is anything wrong with Pep Guardiola and also with Manchester City because the team is currently experiencing player injuries even though only four players are still recovering to this day.

Manchester City has gone through several bad periods, even last season they experienced something like this even though they did not experience 4 consecutive defeats, but I think it is natural for a team to experience a slump, but it all comes back to how the team can rise and I do not doubt Pep Guardiola, he is experienced enough and he has solved problems like this so it is possible for it to be handled again now.

It is undeniable that injuries to several players have caused Manchester City to get bad results and made it difficult for Pep to rotate players because of the limited players available at this time, but I am not worried because this is all a matter of time and Pep will definitely be able to solve this problem.

with the many defeats he has experienced by Manchester City, of course it is normal for someone to think like you, but for me I think it will definitely be difficult for Pep to be fired by Manchester City. As for being fired, it will definitely be in an honorable way, for example because his contract has expired. finished which finally made Manchester City let him go. but it is true, as you said, it will definitely be difficult for Manchester City to fire Pep even with a losing streak, for example, as you said, losing 8 times in a row.

Pep Guardiola has of course coached Manchester City for a long time and of course has brought Manchester City to many titles, so I think with the consecutive defeats that Manchester City is currently experiencing, I don't think Manchester City will be able to fire Pep, especially now that Manchester City is still is in the runner up position in the standings which of course there is still time for Manchester City to be able to compete even better and overtake Liverpool's position.

It is true that this is a new situation for Pep, and of course this is a challenge for Pep, but so far I am still confident in Pep's abilities and he will definitely improve Manchester City's performance soon. Of course, fluctuations in team performance are normal and sometimes strong teams can suffer consecutive defeats, of course this applies to all clubs, including Manchester City. Of course, we are just waiting for time to see Manchester City's next match and see whether Pep can improve Manchester City or not.

Yea, you are correct and I also share the same sentiment as you bro, I believe that at this particular point, if the hierarchy of Manchester city are compelled to decide the future of pep guardiola right now, they will be more than happy to extend his stay at the club because I believe that these people knows their job and everything pertaining to football management, they knows that everything that has a beginning must also have an end, so as era, and due to the fact that age and lack of form has real cash up with most of the lads at Manchester city, their dominance is gradually coming to an end, so it would be absolutely stupid for the fan of Manchester city to be calling for the head of pep guardiola.

What they should do in my own opinion is to try to convince him to stay and build a must more younger and vibrant squad, that will be able to deliver and dominate the English premier league in the nearest future.

Pep Guardiola is a legendary coach with his successful career from Barcelona, Bayern Munich to Manchester City. It's hard to find another coach who can replace Guardiola successfully and bring titles and domination like what he has done with Manchester City last 6 years.

This season looks to be not too good for Manchester City but the season is long so that Manchester City can come back. They have some big disadvantages for making a come back, most considerably their player injuries and lack of good replacements. It's hard to imagine a rich club like Manchester City now don't have enough players for playing and rotating.

I don't know why they let Julian Alvarez left their club in the summer because he is very useful for them as a substitution and especially if Haaland is injured, Alvarez is a perfect replacement. Maybe the player no longer want to stay in Manchester City and play with a substitution role, or maybe Manchester City didn't try their best to keep Julian.

If anybody thinks that Liverpool will not win the League title this season then that person does not like Liverpool, I know the season is still long and Liverpool will meet some strong opponents but with the performance of Liverpool they are in good shape to win the League trophy, Liverpool is ahead of all the team in Premier League and it will be very difficult for any of the team to achieve a point that will make them feel like competing with Liverpool.

Arsenal is the one I was thinking they are going to challenge Liverpool but seeing their performance this season shows that they are not in better shape than last season, Arsenal's game against Chelsea surprised me because Arsenal missed the chances that they would have scored a goal and earn a three-point in the match, although both teams played well Arsenal should have won the match because we always see Arsenal as a strong team than Chelsea.

No sane Manchester city fan will want to see Pep Guardiola get fired because of some poor results from the previous games. Man has broken records and have given man city the highest trophy any manager in their history has ever won.

What people don’t understand is you can’t be at the top forever, considering how competitive the leagues is becoming every season. They’ve been dominant for years doesn’t mean other team aren’t putting working hard to make it to the top. Beside the matches they lost didn’t mean they didn’t play well, rather other team out played them. So if there’s any reason Pep Guardiola will leave the managerial job at man city it must be him deciding to step down and not the club sacking him.

Guadiola has done so many things for Manchester city since he became the head coach, which the managements will consider his performance in the past before taking any action on how to sack him to bring another head coach that will take over from him which is not going to happen in this season, because Manchester city performance is not too poor compared to other teams that are below Manchester city in the premier league table. I can feel it from Guadiola that after this season he will leave Manchester city to another team to test his skills, because Guadiola has many skills to impact to his players any team he inter. But if the situation become worse before the end of this summer, I don't think the management will endure it till the end before they will start making some preparation on how to replace him, because they want the team to win this season title again which I know Manchester city will still repeat what happened last season.

Previously Guardiola had never lost four consecutive games in all competitions in his career as a coach, although no one wants such a bad record, but it will always be the first time that it happens. Manchester City's poor record since being handled by Guardiola has not made the management worried, they will continue to trust Pep as the coach based on what he has given to the club so far. A decline in performance can happen to any club, maybe now it's Manchester City's turn to enter a bad period in recent years.

The injuries suffered by several players have changed their game plan and direction, everyone is very aware of that because Pedri and KDB play a very big role in the midfield. Guardiola still has the ability to change everything, I'm sure, he won't let the snowball get bigger.

That's how netizens are, when their team gets bad results, then the coach is the place for netizens to vent their frustration. Because everything has its time and no team or coach always runs well, and when that happens it doesn't mean it will end, because it happens because of several factors that must be fixed, corrected and also immediately sought for the best solution so that it can return to normal. And as we know, Manchester City's performance is because many of their core players are injured and this is indeed difficult, and indeed this is the worst round in world football that I have ever seen, maybe everyone from Pep Guardiola's team. And they are in bad form, they don't defend, they don't win individual battles that all players can usually do or win their mainstay individual battles and this is what many people say that Manchester City is a scary team because they have very qualified players.
But as I said before, no matter how great and strong a team is, there will definitely be times of weakness and difficult times. And we'll see later whether Pep Guardiola can restore Manchester City to its original state and this is a tough job, and for the 12th and 13th week matches Manchester will face tough teams Tottenham and Liverpool. And whether Manchester City will continue their losing streak or vice versa and this is difficult to predict. Because with an ordinary opposing team, Manchester City does not have the ability to win a match that they should have been able to win easily very easily.
And but that's football which always provides unexpected surprises and also drama that frustrates netizens.

Certainly, firing Guardiola before the termination of his contract with Manchester City at the end of this season is not a good decision for the Manchester City management. He has uplifted the team to very high ends previously unattained by City. The last four losses are a letdown, but considering how much he already gave to Manchester City, Guardiola has already brought home so much silverware, including the one everyone wanted, the Champions League. He transformed the style of play for City into one very much based on cohesion and dominance in multiple competitions.

Moreover, currently being in an international break affords Guardiola the ability to assess the team’s performance and make all necessary redemptions. Hence, the club should offer him their support until the season ends since that is the only way he can overcome this challenge calmly. With all his stewardship and input, it is without a doubt that Guardiola should be allowed to sensibly finish off his last season at City.

I don't think Manchester City management will take such a drastic decision as to sack Guardiola. This was Guardiola's last season with City. Guardiola is likely no longer interested in extending the contract. From what I heard, Guardiola is now interested in coaching a national team. So it is highly likely that Guardiola will not be with City next season.

Manchester City have lost all of their last 4 matches. We haven't seen such a bad performance from City in the last 6/7 years. I can't remember the last time I saw City lose four games in a row. City are not playing well. Even then I don't think Manchester City management will sack Guardiola.

Because before Guardiola came to Manchester City, City were a mediocre team. City are now one of the best clubs in the world because of Guardiola's hard work. This is only possible because of Guardiola. This is why I think the City management will not take the decision to fire Guardiola.

I have not thought about the option of firing Pep because the pressure and also the decline in performance resulting in consecutive defeats like this are very rare to find, usually Pep can immediately evaluate and really show changes in shorter time, but this time it is quite confusing condition.
I sure it will not be that easy for the team management to fire Pep considering all his achievements in bringing Manchester City to win several championship titles, we will see what happens next whether Manchester City continues to survive with consecutive defeats or can return to performing more consistently.

Nothing is impossible when we talk about football, Pep was told if he wouldn't be forever at Manchester City, because Pep's contract will expire in the summer of 2025 and there are no signs yet about an extension which I think is possible he will leave Manchester City and begin to new challenge to another league. The other situations, he was told if he want take a break on football for a while and take a vacation as Jurgen Klopp did. And maybe it could happen after this session over, or at least Manchester City get trophy.

I was just thinking about what it would take to see Pep Guardiola getting fired! I have always thought that it is impossible for him to ever lose his job and I still think it is, but from a hypothetical point of view, I wonder when a club's management would decide to sack him? Four losses is of course not enough. He could probably lose 8 consecutive games and still wouldn't get fired. Probably 12... But it is a new situation that Pep Guardiola hasn't been in yet. This could either snowball and Manchester City is far more nervous than usually or they will soon answer with an impressive winning streak.

Arsenal are not as strong as were last season and there are a few things that may not be able to get them out of the pressure after having three bad games although the last time they faced Chelsea they managed to get a point at Chelsea's home.
Arteta must try to make some changes in the upcoming games because if he doesn't do it then Arsenal's chances of competing for the title will be further behind.

They have failed to maximize the strength of the team this season even though they are influenced by several core players who are injured.
The race will be even tougher as other challengers are also getting stronger with some changes this season.

The current Premier League season offers so many teams in the race at the upper echelon of the table. This leaves every match as an important one, since it represents growth that determines position, as proven by the weekly result chart of each team. During this time it is possible to feel the desire of different teams to work at the highest level. Liverpool is still at the top, but the fighting spirit of other teams makes the journey to the end of this season even more enjoyable to follow.
