Apparently Manchester City will have a rival in the Champions race this year in the form of Arsenal, who to me have a better chance of winning the league than City. It's too early to say, of course, but it's all leading up to that. The fact that Jesus is not scoring I think is a matter of time, perhaps a period of drought, it is just as emotionally difficult for the player, he just needs to get over it
It's a great thing that Man City is having a proper tittle challenge this season even though regular contenders, Liverpool are off. But can Arsenal keep up with the pace of this? My major concern is there squad which lacks depth. I just hope they add quality players this winter transfer.
No player can play well without the help of a coach. Coach Ten Hag doesn't like Ronaldo. He is not interested in keeping Ronaldo in his squad. So Ronaldo is not able to adapt well to United's match tactics and players. The coach definitely needs help in match strategy and adapting to the players. But Ten Hag is not interested in cooperating with Ronaldo now. So we cannot blame Ronaldo alone for his poor performance this season.
But Rashford's performance this season has been truly commendable. Rashford managed just 4 goals and 2 assists in 25 Premier League matches last season. He scored 4 goals and 2 assists in 12 matches this season. He also scored 3 goals in 3 matches in Europe League. Rashford is in good form.
You might be right that Coaches confidence actually contributes to a players form. But current Ronaldo's form in front of goal is his own doing he failed to have a proper preseason with the team and couldn't get into the team easily. Also he looks eager to score which is also affecting his decision making. Lastly is his age, its high time we start to tell ourselves the truth that Ronaldo is nearing the end of his Illustrious Career and his goal scoring ability will get weaken. So I don't expect Ten Hag to build his squad around someone that will leave in 1-2 years time.
