While the other problem is Ten Hag, the victory Man United over Brentford slightly postponed the issue of dissatisfaction with him. But it seems that this is only temporary. There will still be many difficult matches, if Man United get another bad result I think many supporters will tell Ten Hag to leave.

Every week, the only thing that Man United fans discuss is when Ten Hag will get fired, and not if he will get fired. Grin
IMO, you can't be Man United and celebrate a win against Brentford (no offense to Brentford supporters) in your home ground like you win the title. The team lacks chemistry, leadership, and a clear plan/ strategy. For everything, the biggest share of responsibility lies with Ten Hag. He is the manager, he has to be the captain, and he signs the players. Unless he didn't make these choices and somebody else is the real "captain." Undecided

Congratulations, Liverpool won but it was a bit strange. I saw the stats even Chelsea had better possession. Chelsea had more passes and were more accurate. This condition is quite good, meaning that Chelsea performed well even though they didn't win they were just ineffective. In addition, Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez performed below his best.

This situation is normal in big matches so if one of them conceded then they will try to equalize the score or catch up so don't be surprised if Chelsea have ball possession and more effort moreover only one goal adrift. Here I highlight Liverpool who have accuracy shots and attacks so they deserve to win the match, exactly as we predicted before it's just that we didn't expect that Chelsea would give a fierce attack because I think Liverpool will win with a difference of 2 goals.

Competition in the Premier League standings is getting fierce when Liverpool and Manchester City are pursuing each other, previously Manchester City also won the match through luck yeah Manchester City scored in the 95th minute and end the match with a score of 2-1. I can't imagine if Man City only drew this means that Liverpool are certainly more confident.

Neither Liverpool nor Chelsea can be considered lucky in this game as both team had a really good play to the point i can say for a fact it was a very balanced game and such that can not be said one side played better and the winner was lucky, they did had good attempts and dominance at different points which made it  good reason enough for them to have almost equal chances, i even find it difficult to fault any position in that game as every was fully functional and productive, it was a good competition and exercise if strength as expected of both teams been of good caliber and interestingly Liverpool still tops the table.

I don't really know if Arsenal are having a different way the referees in the EPL are officiating their games or is there something we're not getting? Arsenal played against Bournemouth and they lost with a player (Saliba) being sent off and the game between Liverpool vs Chelsea we saw a similar situation where Tosin had to tackle one of the Liverpool players but he wasn't shown a red card but a yellow and it got me worried that the way some decisions are being made by the refs is not suppose to be, similar situation but different punishment, why is it like that? Arsenal have suffered so much this very season with 3 red cards this season. Is the EPL refs fair in making decisions this season or they have teams they target to issue red cards?
What happened to Saliba continues to be a debate that I think will give rise to a lot of controversy on social media, even the red card obtained by the Saliba began to be linked to Arsenal next match against Liverpool in the Premier League, because like a lot of speculation circulating at the moment the VAR referee between Bournemouth vs Arsenal is a Liverpool fan, so maybe he is trying to weaken Arsenal when facing Liverpool later, the controversy was further strengthened when there was a significant difference in the penalty received by Saliba and that received by Tosin in the Chelsea vs Liverpool match, to be honest when I saw Howard Webb in the VIP stands and speaking through the mic, it seems that there is indeed a conspiracy to prevent Arsenal be as championship, because in recent seasons Howard Webb has never been friendly towards Arsenal when he was a referee and even when he was he is served as chairman of PGMOL now,many referee decisions are actually detrimental to Arsenal.

We might want to argue that Manchester City were the lucky team in their encounter at the Molineux against Wolves yesterday but we can't take away the fact that they were the better team and also did press for that winner goal for too long. Personally, I feel it was their persistence to fight for all three points in that game till the last minute that gave them the win instead of being "lucky" like you said.
No doubt Manchester City is stronger team than Wolves. They proved their ability in many matches, won six matches out of eight including the match held yesterday and now they gained the 2nd top at the qualifying table with 20 points. While Wolves standing at the bottom position of the qualifying table with 1 point, they didn't won a single match yet. Lost seven matches out of eight lol. But if we analysis the match between Manchester City vs Wolves,, J. Strand Larsen scored a first goal at 7th minutes behalf of wolves. Afterwards  man city gave their best effort, took the control and scored their first goal by J. Gvardiol at 33 minutes and 1st half result was draw. Then in 2nd half, Manchester City started the Match with same pattern and tried their best and dominate most of the time like 78% time but failed to score any goal earlier. But when a team score a goal in the last minutes, people called it luck instead of strong or persistence as you said. Although i think, it was really their persistence that they controlled Their mindset and keep focused on their target till their last breath and that's why they able to scored a goal in last minute

Man, just accept the truth. Saliba's case is totally different compared to Tosin. He was so harsh; it was an exact scoring goal opportunity by Bournemouth's player. That's why he was sent off by the referee after received a red card.

And in Tosin's case, the ball was heading wide; he was not the last man. Also, it's not an exact scoring goal opportunity for Salah. So, he got yellow

If we're seeing it closely, there are some differences, but yeah, it's very similar.

That was terrible news for Manchester United at this moment of their poor performance. Mainoo is an important player for Manchester United, even though they have lost points this season, Mainoo has improved their performance since the previous season, so he might be in good shape by the end of next month. However, the absence of Kobbie Mainoo did not affect their performance in their last match against Brentford, Manchester United was losing in the first half and then made an impressive comeback by scoring two goals to win the game, but this doesn't mean that Manchester United is in good form because Brentford is an average team in the league.
What you said is very right because I also still see that Manchester United are not in a very good condition because they still have to improve their way of playing in other matches so that there is an increase in points and their position in the standings so that it will be considered a good thing for improving performance. But for now Manchester United still haven't done that even though they were able to win at home when hosting Brentford which is a team that is not competitive enough in the League this season.

Although still young, Kobbie Mainoo has taken his teammate's position as the main starter, unfortunately he had to sit out due to a hamstring injury. However, in the match against Brentford, Eriksen and Casemiro performed quite well as a double pivot. If United's players can be stable, especially the midfielders, they should be able to continue on the right track to get full points from match to match. Indeed, it is difficult to predict the performance of Manchester United's players, they often play underperform, like a team that has lost direction and spirit. Maybe a victory over Brentford could have a big influence on raising the motivation, spirit and mentality of all United players. Ten Hag's job is to do it, and keep his team on the right track. We'll see when Manchester United visits Turkey, visiting Fenerbahce's headquarters. If the Europa League match is important for United, getting full points should be their target. In addition to maintaining the consistency of the players, victory after victory can add enthusiasm to move on the right track.

It doesn't matter much what score Manchester United won this match, as Flick recently said, even if a team wins 1-0, they still get 3 points, so in this case it was important for ten Hag to get 3 points, it's good that they managed to do it. The obvious problem with Manchester United is their attack, they have scored only 7 goals in 8 rounds. This is one of the worst indicators in the league, this needs to be addressed and worked on.
Of course, their attack is the problem they are having which makes it difficult for them to score much goals leading to points drop. Another problem Manchester united is having is their defense which is not strong, and this makes them not to be able to defend their goals when they are on the lead, which gives their opponents the chance of equalizing the goal or win the match.

Pep Guardiola is one manager that's never going to get tired of winning trophies as he always wants to win as  many as possible and after watching Manchester City's away game at Wolves yesterday, I think it'll be extremely difficult to stop them from retaining the English Premier League title this season.
For me, Man City difficulty in locking in yesterday's winning points was indeed Guardiola strategy not to put too much pressure on the team to get a winning score because Pep Guardiola also has goals in other competitions such as the UCL which will appear in a few days.
So the coach only kept the players to be careful in terms of physical condition to stay healthy without injury when approaching the UCL match.
But still, even though it doesn't look optimal, Man City is still a very consistent team in the EPL today.

I don't think John Stones's late goal was just luck. It may seem like that, but actually, when the game was in the final minutes, composure and concentration played a major role. So whoever has more will have a greater chance of scoring a goal. Apart from that, I think Man City is definitely quite confident if they can turn things around, therefore they consistently put pressure on their opponents, so they have more space to build up, and when the opportunity comes, they will be able to make good use of it.

Liverpool was lucky to have that penalty so early in the game as that changed everything and gave the momentum to Liverpool. Chelsea played so well despite being at Anfield that every club is always afraid to visit. Chelsea lost but they made the fans happy. When I was watching the game, I also was looking at social media and alot of individual are happy that Chelsea weren't afraid but played well against Liverpool. Chelsea had their chances to equaliser as Nkunku almost scored a goal at the closing hours of the match but he miss timed his runs and couldn't covert the chance. Look at the statistics, Chelsea were better but they couldn't score more goals.

Pochettino did his great management last season but he had to leave Chelsea and now this position belongs to a new coach Maresca. If Pochettino had been still Chelsea coach, Chelsea journey would have been more similar to Arsenal and Arteta.

Teams don't need to have a stable coach before they can start performing better, Liverpool are competing for the title and their coach is a new one that hasn't coached the team before. When a coach is good, he can make a team to become tittle contenders even in his first season. Chelsea coach is a good coach and he has improved the Chelsea squad but there are still many things to do before the team will become title contenders as Arsenal has become. Chelsea goalkeeper is a big problem for Chelsea as he's one of the reasons why they lost against Liverpool. He was just giving the ball away and coyuld save the second goal from Liverpool.


Even though I dont like blaming anyone when a team scores but majority of Chelsea fans know that the second goal scored by Curtin Jones of Liverpool was literally Robert Sanchez's fault, suppose he was in a better position than the ball to have saved freely. With this I can agree with you that Chelsea does have a good goalkeeper at the moment.

Another issue is defenders. Chelsea is managing the defenders they have now but if they want to be title contenders then they have to work better with their defense. They need more and better defenders than they have now. Tosin Adarabioyo is one inconsistent defender Chelsea's has right now. His work rater was low yesterday, he is not someone who can be relied on to win duels. And lastly Levi Colwill. Though he tried yesterday some little mistakes can cause a lot of damage. He made a bad challenge in his box on Jones that almost could have been a penalty.

Honestly, he's not concentrating that much in the post and easily get carried away when the game gets too comfortable for his team. Made a mistake that would have cost the team a big issue because of his reckless pass and still joined in contributing to the second penalty that VAR ruled out. When we you talk of thier defence being poor, he's one of the cause of It and that's part of the things  Enzo maresca would need to work on.

He's tried to work things up from the place pochetino left it and he's done past what most fans expected when pochetino left and he came in as a replacement. What is lacking in the team is maturity and experience and that's what the Chelsea captain Reece James should have been providing but due to his consistent injury and what could be looked at as lack of fitness, he's not helping the team that much. They are on the right track as things stands but it will take them time before they fix all the errors that's currently in the squad.

I think we should not blame the goals on the Chelsea goalkeeper, who even though he did not play very confidently, but still it should be noted that most of Liverpool's counterattacks were based on the fact that they easily passed the center of the field, which should have been controlled by Chelsea's supporting midfielders, including Caicedo, who had a bad match, and after Chelsea's substitutions the whole game of the team fell apart and Maresca in general and lost because of the substitutions, which did not strengthen, but on the contrary weakened the game.

The first goal Chelsea received wasn't the fault of Robert Sanchez but he would have done better in the second goal. He didn't react fast to challenge Curtis Jones and even when he did that he turned his face away from the ball. One will have to assume that he is scared of the ball hitting his face. His constant error while playing from the back was obvious in the games against Bournemouth.

But I don't think Chelsea actually need a new goalkeeper because he could actually improve. Manchester United was patient with Andre Onana and he is now dependable. With more training and advice, Sanchez can improve.

In the premier league if you want to speak about the top teams in the premier league, you are not going to mention top three without having to mention Manchester city so definitely they have got the capacity to go beyond the position they are now even if Liverpool is at their best now, they have played only but eight games and still have about 31 more, so is enough game to prove them selves if the need be and not just thinking Liverpool has got the league already, its a temporary position.
Liverpool should not be so relaxed at the top of the table. We still have a long way to go, teams are going to drop points in coming games. Manchester City have solidified their position as the top team in the Premier League, they are favorites to win the league and in my opinion every competition they play in. Other big teams in the Premier League that are titled contenders are Liverpool and Arsenal and quite recently Chelsea look like they might be title contenders this season.

Manchester City is a strong and well performing team, they can change the game even now because they are big with experienced players. Manchester City's hard work has brought them to this position and they can go even higher if they work harder.  But I believe that Manchester cannot go above this position because above it there are very strong and more match winning teams.Which Manchester City cannot compete with.  Even if they do, they cannot win from them.Liverpool have scored a goal so far if Chelsea work hard they can score and tie the match but Liverpool will neither draw the match nor lose the match.Now let's see if Chelsea manage to score or not.

Honestly, I watched the match between the two teams and I think it was very fierce because with Wolves who I think are strong in defense, it made it difficult for Man City to have good opportunities, the good thing is that Gvardiol dared to make a shot from a fairly long distance and it became a goal which was quite good because the ball was directed at the left corner of the Wolves goalkeeper. However, I often see Wolves taking advantage of opportunities quickly, and in my opinion Man City's defense has problems because several times they conceded the ball and almost became a goal, even with Wolves' first goal, I think it was the same because Man City's defense was not good enough until they conceded the ball.
In addition, luck was on Man City's side because they were able to score a goal in the last minutes which had a dispute about whether the goal was valid or not, but with the referee who had checked Var, the goal was finally validated. This is a lucky day for Man City.

The match between Chelsea and Liverpool was very exciting and yes it all happened as people imagined that Liverpool had a greater chance of winning than Chelsea, but even so Chelsea gave Liverpool a very good fight, you know that when Jackson scored the goal for the equalizer it was almost written off by the referee as offside but after seeing the replay the referee ruled that there was no offside and made this match much more interesting, Chelsea is much more interesting for this season's journey because they played quite well even though they lost.

Liverpool was lucky to have that penalty so early in the game as that changed everything and gave the momentum to Liverpool. Chelsea played so well despite being at Anfield that every club is always afraid to visit. Chelsea lost but they made the fans happy.

Look at the statistics, Chelsea were better but they couldn't score more goals.



Yes I saw it also from the whole match and statistics that Chelsea were far superior to Liverpool in this match, the penalty kick did change the whole situation and it was a big luck that Liverpool got, from this match I wanted to see Palmer enter the goal again but unfortunately he missed several attempts, Liverpool's defense also did not let Palmer play freely, Chelsea just need to improve improvisation between the players in my opinion, the rest they played very well even in an away match against a strong team.
