Since Manchester City lost Rodi they couldn't have good performance like the past days when they had Rodi in this team and this affected the performance of Manchester City so far. This made Pep Guardiola worried and now he is searching for alternative players to fill the place of Rodri in this team.
Now it seems Martín Zubimendi the player of Real Sociedad is linked to the team. However, so Real Sociedad rejected the offer from Manchester City and Zubimendi didn't show any interest but now it seems Manchester City wants to spend 60 million euros for Zubimendi to make him move.
Yes you are right Manchester City is struggling without Rodri which shows how important he is to team. His absence has revealed big weakness. To fix this Manchester City wants to sign Martín Zubimendi from Real Sociedad like you said. However £60 million price tag is questionable. Zubimendi is talented but he does not seem interested and Real Sociedad initially said no. Pep Guardiola wants to replace Rodri quickly but this urgency might lead to overpaying.
Losing Rodri and KDB is a big problem for Man City, such as declining performance strength. While Haaland and Rodri can always provide good contributions to Haaland and lately Haaland has also had a little difficulty due to the absence of Rodri and KDB. And regarding Martín Zubimendi, it seems that Man City is not alone in pursuing the player because Liverpool is also linked with the player. €60 million is actually equivalent to the talent the player has but the problem is that Real Sociedad does not have a replacement for Martin Zubimendi. So Real Sociedad also cannot release the player.

Rodri is Manchester City's key player, even last season, we saw how much of a role the player played in their games, they didn't lose a single game that Rodri played for Manchester City. I don't think Manchester City will have a defensive midfield as strong as Rodri. I believe Guardiola brought Gundogan back to the club to strengthen the midfield, in any case, both Rodri and De Bruyne won't be fit to play, and Rodri is clearly at a higher level than Gundogan. However, in the previous match against Arsenal, if Rodri had not been injured, Manchester City would have won but a few minutes after Rodri was substituted, Manchester City conceded two goals. Guardiola has to deal with the midfield issue after struggling to defeat Fulham in their last match.

Martin Zubimendi seems to be happy in Real Sociedad, I don't believe the player is ready to leave the Spanish club this season after rejecting Liverpool's offer at the start of the season, but let's see if Manchester City can sign the player for the amount they are willing to pay.

I don't see a big impact on Manchester City losing Rodri and so far Manchester City are still very strong and consistent.
£60 is not a big figure for a club like Manchester City but is Martín Zubimendi the right thing to do as Pep Guardiola is usually more selective in buying players and he Will consider many things before deciding to sign the player.
Judging from the age of Martín Zubimendi at this time, it is certainly still suitable for Pep Guardiola to recruit him because the player's position is in the midfielder even though statistically his current achievements are still quite minimal at Real Sociedad. But if a player like Martín Zubimendi is in a more appropriate team with coach Pep Guardiola, of course there will be many changes that he can feel in the future. So it would not be wrong for Pep Guardiola to want to recruit him into the Manchester City squad, especially considering that Manchester City's financial capabilities are also still very large.

So far in the games that have taken place Manchester City still look strong and they are unbeaten since the start of the season.
Pep Guardiola does not have much difficulty in balancing the strengths he has because he has quite good players in the team.

I quite agree with you Manchester City have their big gun missing and it worries not only Pep but the whole team (just as KDB is out) because they don't have that player who always intercept and cut out threat from opposition teams. Getting a new player to fill in the void would be hard no matter how good Pep sees that player, he can't do the job the way Rodri does it, if not why is Mateo Kovačić not the best option to take Rodri's place? Is hard now for Manchester City, not that Zubimendi isn't going to do well but it won't be this very campaign, maybe after getting him it will take a little time to blend in. For the first time we're going to see Manchester City making a desperate move for a player and I know for sure that no matter the pressure Pep is going to get a better player.

As expected Erik Ten Hag really got full support from United top brass despite showing bad results. Regardless of the 2 trophies he gave, in the end Man United position in the standings still proves that they are going through a difficult season. I think it's quite clear that if he is to be retained then all United fans should be patient for quite a long time, maybe 2 to 3 more seasons to see Man United in the ranks of the strongest clubs again. With the decision to support Ten Hag, if at the end of the season the club is in the lower ranks, we will not blame coach Ten Hag anymore but we will corner all this setback due to Man United top brass themselves who do not want to make a firm decision.

Where did you get this information? According to the leaks, no decision has been made today and he could still be fired in the coming days. It all looks more like the management is waiting for a nod to take over at United from someone they really want. Once that is done, Ten Hag will be sacked. If not, he will stay until the next opportunity to hire the right coach.

I assume it was his opinion. But, I've heard INEOS has a meeting today about the club's performance.



So far, INEOS has made no announcement. It seems they still support Ten Hag. Let's wait until the next day. Maybe there will be news from United's management about his fate at the club.

I personally hope United will sack him, then put a fresh name to be a new coach. It's painful to see they are now placing 14th. They look like a relegation team now.

Then who is ready to replace Ten Hag in such a short time? I agree and strongly support the dismissal of Ten Hag from the United coaching chair. However, preparing a replacement must also be thought through carefully.
Removing Ten Hag now without preparing a replacement and only relying on a temporary coach is not wise for a team as big as United. Especially if there is no change in performance. If the club management is very serious about improving United, they must have thought about all that. However, until now, they have not taken any steps.
If it continues like this, just let United be the subject of ridicule on social media.
In the mean time i learnt his assistance has been given the mandate incase the board eventually fires Erick Ten Hang, he's going to take over till the arrival of anew coach whom the team is looking at getting. I agree that firing Ten Hag at this time may not be the ideal thing to do but at the same time keeping him isn't the best either and there are situations that requires drastic measures one of which is this and they can find a way to move forward there after, as keeping him any longer will not be of any good to the team.

This situation should have happened earlier, Eric ten Haag has indulged Manchester United team in a very poor performance. So his sacking is the only expedient, and the appointment of a new coach will once again put the team in its strongest form. Because the performance of the players in the Manchester United team is very good and experienced players but they are failing in terms of strategy in the game only because of the coach. So everyone now just waits for a new coach to be appointed, and start betting on Manchester United again.

Aston Villa are better than Chelsea base on performance, they are ready to get 3pt more than the Chelsea side. I think the Villains have faced difficult opponents than Chelsea and they made a good account of themselves but Chelsea have more easy games than Aston Villa but they fail to get something out of it. If you ask me I'd rate Aston Villa ahead of Chelsea because I see the Aston Villa team as one that's consistent this season while Chelsea are finding it hard to be stable, they (the Blues) are like a switch, off and on.
Aston Villa and Chelsea have same 14 points, and they have small differences in goals and conceded goals. Their quality is nearly the same and one good or bad match does not change their quality, it's about recent form only.

They meet each other in a direct match and they equal chance to win it. A latest match result will be used as one of biggest things for a match prediction but with same quality, as said, they can beat the opponent even they are considered as weaker and had a latest worst performance and result. In a direct match, previous opponents you met are not too important, and the opponent in this match is important. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa are strong and ambitious, they will not lose this direct match easily because it's more important than a single match. It can decided their competition for a fourth position too.

Chelsea is not fighting for a league title this season and the coach has said it already, Chelsea fighting for the league this season is like adding another pressure to the team, after having a bad performance for the past two years they bounced back by having Enzo Maresca as a new coach, we know that Chelsea is in good shape this season and they can challenge the remaining team but I don't think it is a good idea, Chelsea need to study the big team's like Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester city very well in other to have a good confidence whenever they want to play against them.
Yeah actually Chelsea has facing a lot of challenges in passing two seasons ago by performing very poorly, and that’s they bounced back this season with good performances; because the way Chelsea is teams are performing this season no expected that kind of performance from them due to the how they end last season with bad performances: but this season there want to fighting for the league and fighting for the is not a pressure in my view since without much of their efforts nothing can move as well, and is not that I’m a Chelsea fans but I like the way their performances is moving forward this day’s.

The reason why I said Chelsea needs to study the big teams is because Chelsea struggled to win their first game and it was against Manchester City and that shows that Chelsea still has a lot of things to fix before thinking they can win the league title, Chelsea has not played against two or three big team's this season and that is why I'm still doubting that we need to see more games of Chelsea before thinking that they are capable of winning the title league
Everyone knows how the performance of the Manchester City there are strong teams there’s no way we can compare Chelsea performance with them, Chelsea last match against Manchester City was interesting games, although that Chelsea struggle win their first match against Man City but for me honestly their have doing a great work that very day; because not all the weak teams can able to defeated strong.

I would say Chelsea and Aston Villa are very similar. Both of these teams are not very strong. But their performance is somewhat stable. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa have lost just one match each. Both of these teams are relatively weak in attack. Chelsea players scored 16 goals in 7 balls and Aston Villa players managed to score 12 goals in 7 matches. At the same time, the defense of these two teams is not very strong.

Chelsea will play their next match against Liverpool. The chances of Chelsea winning against Liverpool are very low. My guess is that Liverpool will win the match. But if chelsea can win this match then i would say we will see chelsea team in top four of points table this season.

Playing against Liverpool would be tougher than what they played against Nottingham Forest, if Chelsea couldn't beat 10men Nottingham Forest is it a complete Liverpool team that they can get all 3pt? It can't happen, at this point Chelsea can't withstand the force of Liverpool and Slot would do anything to make sure he maintains that number 1 spot on the log, losing or dropping point is not an option for the new manager of the Reds. It would be another win for Liverpool but the game might not be as strong as we expected, for me I'd say a 2-1 win for Liverpool against Chelsea.

Their are people out their that are better than him because is not looking responsible for the club at all and I know everyone will be in support for the dismissal of ten but the question is who do they have in mind to replace ten with and I don't think dismissing him now is actually worthy they should just allow this season ends before firing his ass out of the United because for the past to season now United have be baseless they don't have direction and ten is not really helping matters. The management have to think this through so that they don't make another serious mistake and they have given him more chance than he deserves but if it was Chelsea he would have been long gone by now.

And who are they to use when ten is gone before getting a suitable coach for the team because Manchester United actually needs someone to take the club very seriously to bring back that light thay they have lost, no announcement is made yet but sooner or later ten alread knows his faith in Manchester United that is stay is gradually coming to an end on Manchester United and the way forward should be what his currently looking at.

Honestly Enzo Murresca had made a positive and significant impact on Chelsea since he came board as their new manager particularly the set of young players currently in the squad having loan and sold all the excess and redundant players he met in the team and I believe in the  next few seasons to come they would definitely become title challenger if Maresca keep those youngsters with just one or two more new signings I expect Chelsea Board to continue to back him with full support thus the team would become formidable to be able to challenge the other top teams.

I still remember what Pep Guardiola said, he said that Maresca needed time to bring Chelsea much more developed and be able to be on par with the elite Premier League teams. I think Pep said it seriously. Now, Chelsea is in 4th place in the Premier League standings. Although its position is vulnerable to being overtaken by teams below it, at least under his guidance Chelsea is better than other coaches at the beginning of their season. In 7 matches in this competition, Maresca gave 4 wins, two draws against teams that play more defensively, one match lost against the Premier League giants, Manchester City. Nicolas Jackson who previously always had difficulty scoring goals, now from his 7 matches he has scored 4 goals and 3 assists, at least better than the previous season. One of the most stable players is Cole Palmer, although operating behind Chelsea's single striker, he has scored 6 goals and 5 assists. It seems that Chelsea is heading on the right track, but the problem is can they maintain their consistency. well, it is a challenge for Maresca and the Chelsea players to play much more solidly and have good teamwork.

That's right. So far, Erik ten Hag is still confident in coaching Man United because he still has the trust of Man United's management. Although, there is a lot of news circulating in England that he will be fired but until now he has not been fired. In fact, what we see in Man United's current game, Man United's game system is not directed, there is no strong character, he also coached Man United even though it was his third year and was given the freedom to get targeted players (especially his former players). If the target is only the Carabao Cup and the FA trophy, and playing up and down every Sunday. Well that confirms this coach as a mediocre coach at the EPL level.

So in my opinion, just fire him as soon as possible, no need to wait any longer, no need to wait for the end of the season to fire him because Man United needs a coach who is respected by his players, so that there can be great respect from the players for the coach who can build player trust in the coach's strategy. However, if the Man United bosses still don't want to fire him, I also agree with you, actually this is no longer Erik Ten's fault, but this is all because of the mistakes of the club's top brass who made Man United what it is today.

Then who is ready to replace Ten Hag in such a short time? I agree and strongly support the dismissal of Ten Hag from the United coaching chair. However, preparing a replacement must also be thought through carefully.

Who will replace Ten Hag is not an issue, there is even no short time given the present level of the premier League because the league hasn't gone too far to say a coach cannot be replaced, after all Jose mourinho was sacked by Tottenham Hotspurs after qualifying them for FA Cup finals, a feet they haven't reached for a long time, but yet the club management didn't have a rethink when they wanted to take that action, so there is no better time to show Erik Ten Hag the exit door.  There is no point hiring a temporary coach, I've heard they've approached the likes of Thomas Tuchel, so for a coach of that capacity I don't think it should be on a temporary basis.

Chelsea and Aston Villa are battling to stay in the top four of the table. Both these teams want to qualify for the Champions League. And Chelsea and Aston Villa are moving towards this goal. Last season we saw a very poor performance from Chelsea. However, the team won consistently in the last few matches of the season. So Chelsea was able to occupy the sixth place in the table until the end. And Chelsea's aim this season is to qualify for the Champions League.
All three teams are sure to fight for the title. Even in the last few seasons we have seen all three teams doing well in the Premier League. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal all have strong squads. So this season the fight for the Premier League title will be more crowded.
Chelsea and Aston Villa has similar points on the table and I can't even differentiate their performance but I think Aston Villa are sneaky team that make way even when things are difficult for them. They just humiliated Bayern Munich in the Champions League and draw almighty Manchester United in their last game and as for Chelsea, they are busy making more goals than what they have concede, only their next matches is going to determine who is going to last at the top.
By features arrangements, Aston Villa might have a way to stay above Chelsea because I'm not sure how Chelsea are going to win Liverpool that is fighting to stay ontop of the table, any small mistake from this play will not only drag them from there, they have to come down to stay with Aston Villa hopefully Villa don't win their next matches again but sometimes, things don't go as expected, minor teams don't finish from surprises.

I would say Chelsea and Aston Villa are very similar. Both of these teams are not very strong. But their performance is somewhat stable. Both Chelsea and Aston Villa have lost just one match each. Both of these teams are relatively weak in attack. Chelsea players scored 16 goals in 7 balls and Aston Villa players managed to score 12 goals in 7 matches. At the same time, the defense of these two teams is not very strong.

Chelsea will play their next match against Liverpool. The chances of Chelsea winning against Liverpool are very low. My guess is that Liverpool will win the match. But if chelsea can win this match then i would say we will see chelsea team in top four of points table this season.

I must admit that Chelsea under the coaching of Enzo Maresca is showing a lot of improvement because I remember how low Chelsea is on the table by this time last season but surprisingly they have the number 4 position of the premier League now but I doubt if they would shift Arsenal or Liverpool from there position because if we check them through the clubs they have played with on this premier League
Chelsea performances this season have been so good, and most people never expected such a great improvement from Chelsea this season. Enzo Maresca is really a talented coach, and I am really happy with the strategy that he is using. Chelsea are currently struggling with Aston Villa to stay in the Champions League zone, they are having equal points with Aston Villa, but they are ahead of Villa with goals, which makes Chelsea to be in 4th position. If Enzo Maresca can continue with his good performance, then he should be able to end the season in the top 4, but Maresca still has some things to fix in the team.
 
I don’t think Chelsea are currently fighting to win the Premier League, because we all know that’s going to be difficult for them. All I think they are after currently is to qualify for the Champions League, which I think is possible. From the way the three clubs in the top 3 are performing, I think Chelsea will just find it difficult to compete with them.

No doubt i would say they have been the most impressive team that has picked form since the start of the Premier League. Last year the fans complained a lot about consistency in winning. If they win today the next match they will lose. But this season we have see how they maintained to win in every match they have played even in other competitions. If worst comes to worst they end the game in a draw match.

Its funny how quickly the accolades is been giving to Enzo Maresca instead of the players. Yes, he has tried in directing the team on what to do but we should not forget that the players are more relentless now. They want to win something, at least go to the UCL next season. Palmer contribution to the team has pushed the other players to some extent now they believed they can win every game.
