You have a point because if we reason the whole situation of Palmer on the aspect you are talking about, leaving Manchester City was the best for him because Manchester City is like a club were all the players use to be very competitive among themselves in other to have more chances and noticeable to people, which would have affected the growth of Palmer because I realized that his sudden performance was when he left the club because during that time he was still playing there he was not this good probably because he is not always given much time to perform but since he joined Chelsea he has the time to display all the hidden performance he had, so actually your point is good.
Enzo Maresca is gradually unveiling the true color of Cole Palmer in Chelsea team. There are quite amazing qualities about this player, he's style is rare and he's currently the best player at the Bridge. Chelsea now have Cole Palmer as their main player, the potential talent under Pep Guardiola is doing a great job at Stamford Bridge. There's nobody like him in the Chelsea team, he's ambitious and knows how to enchanced his abilities. Sometimes it's advisable to push for the exits door of an elite club.

Cole Palmer was rare gem in Manchester City, nobody was able to spot the English talent out because there was heavy presence of main players, thereby depriving him the golden chance to exhibits his potentials. Manchester City have elite clubs to compete with and Pep Guardiola don't have that time to sort out his strategies or plans on using his substitutes. Palmer made good decision when he triggered his move to accept Chelsea bid, he's at his peak, not a one season wonder.

Ten Hag is a difficult manager to work with and he’s also not getting results. If the hierarchy of Manchester United could let Ronaldo and Sancho go just to please the manager, I doubt they would sack him. Last season, there were rumours that Erik Ten Hag was going to be sacked. The worst thing that happened to Manchester United was winning the FA Cup. It gave United the false impression that Ten Hag was going to turn things around for the club. Things have gone from bad to worst under Ten Hag. What would it take for Manchester United to fire Ten Hag?


Fair points honestly. Ten Hag has been nothing but shit in terms of his management at Man United. I think the club owners had a lot of ongoing and wanted stability, and tried to believe in one of their managers once. I think this is something they lacked historically, so they wanted to give it a shot to keep one manager for a good amount of time. But unfortunately, I don't think Erik Ten Hag is the guy.

But blame should go to players, too. If you watch the games closely, it is clear that the players are not giving their all. They don't look like they play for the biggest club in England. They can do so much better and they really should. This is no time for complacency, no time to be lazy. If the players start focusing more, tries to contribute more to the team's performance, this United team can see the light of success surely.

Passing week 6 and we can see the teams that are in the top board, what caught my attention was when Chelsea started to return to being part of the top 4 after their performance in the previous season was very unexpected.
This season in the first week they lost, to be honest it made me skeptical of them. However, they were able to bounce back in the next match and won 4 times, that is a good record with quite good improvement too. Hopefully what they showed at the beginning of this season they can maintain very well, because teams that have just experienced bad things usually lose consistency easily.

 Very hard working Chelsea team, when i saw them among the top four teams i was so amazed and happy on their improvement and considering the fact that the club was busy signing new players to the squad last summer and to see that their efforts are not going in vain is really impressive, am literally very happy for Chelsea even though am not a fan. They lost just one match and it was against Manchester city which is understandable since Manchester city i stronger than them but even since they lost to Manchester city they have really been performing better which led them to being among the top four in the premier league table.

 With what i saw in the match between Chelsea and Brighton in their premier league meeting on Saturday, i can vehemently say that Chelsea is likely to finish among the top four positions this season but that would be if they continue in this same energy. However, the top 5 teams are really in strong competition because their points are quite close with each other.

Hopefully what they showed at the beginning of this season they can maintain very well, because teams that have just experienced bad things usually lose consistency easily.
I literally didn't trust Chelsea initially because i believed they weren't going to be able to keep up with the records and get to the top of the table but now not only are at the to but they are there with some from of solid points that will give them some grounds on there a whole long while if they are goin to add consistency to their performance. so far Chelsea is yet to loose a single game in the premier league which i see as an indication that they have gotten son level of consistency but how long they are going to be able to maintain the consistency is another challenge they will have to tackle because above that they will not be able to stay there long enough as they may crash down before the end of the season and the target for them should be about stay there and probably maintaining a good finish by the end of the season.

Yes, I also see it that way, and maybe some people also have the same opinion if they pay attention to this club, the previous season as we saw that Chelsea was once a hot topic because of the problem of player depth in their team which made them end the season in a very bad position but now yes they have started the season very well. In the previous season they also experienced an improvement where they initially finished in 12th place in the standings but last season they experienced an improvement by finishing in 6th place, and previously I thought the improvement last season was nothing more than a coincidence, but when I see how they started the season now then of course I am also quite happy because starting the season without losing from the first five games is a good achievement. Honestly, I don't know yet whether Maresca will be able to maintain the consistency of his club or not, but in any case we hope that a squad like Chelsea will be able to compete again in the top four area as usual.

Let the past be the past, there is no rule to repeat the match with Tottenham because with or without Bruno, I think the 3 points will still be in the hands of the away team. So now Man United must focus on the future and how to save themselves from the threat. Man United players must realize their drastically declining quality and the incompetent coach to develop the squad abilities. Whatever happens, there is an unavoidable fact. Aston Villa is very ready to give a bigger surprise than Spurs. These 3 points are very important for Aston Villa to extend their positive performance.
To be fair I do not think that United could win even if they play the game again lol. Red Card was a wrong one and the appeal was a no brainer without a doubt, Bruno shouldn't have seen a red card, yellow would have bene more than enough, hell I can make an argument that you could just give the foul and not even any cards.

However, just because Bruno got a bad card, doesn't change the fact that Tottenham completely dominated United, obviously if they play again United may not be this bad, but on that specific game Bruno seeing a red card wasn't the reason why United played terribly, they just played terribly because they were terrible, even if Bruno played, they would have lost without a doubt. As long as United and their fans and their management do not see the real problem, they are going to keep complaining about other stuff and not see the real trouble. Erik Ten Hag is the real trouble and you will never get a good result as long as you have him.

If Haaland happens to stay out injured right now with Rodri and Kelvin De Bruyne also out injured Manchester City will be in deep mess. Already you can tell by the level of impact both key players been absent has in the premier league games. As long as Haaland keeps scoring goals, Manchester City will have upper hand and huge advantage in every game they will play this season.

If only one player is injured the impact is not too significant but if 3 players are injured of course it is a big problem it's just impossible for 3 players to be injured at once, maybe this is the reason why Pep brought back İlkay Gundogan because this player can cover some area especially the midfield line. If Haaland can play until the end of the season then no other player can replace him at the top of the top scorers list, he will continue to dominate because he is in his productive age.

I'm not at all convinced it's the best choice, but I'm not the one who decides the fate of the team.
Two years is not a short time, it is enough time to understand whether a coach is capable or not. Waiting for the end of the season, once the season has started, is masochistic.
Erik Ten Hak should have understood the weaknesses of his team and entering his third year at Manchester United he should have shown a big change for the team. The fact is he was not able to give something more even though he had been facilitated to get the players he wanted, the heavy defeat to Tottenham was a big mistake he made because maybe his strategy was too easy to read by the opposing coach.

The next match will be away to Porto in the Europa League and I am a little bit biased for a better result. But anyway Erik Ten Hak must find a solution so that they are not humiliated again by Porto and in that match victory will be a big bet for him so as not to get more problems.

The problem with the Manchester United team is bigger than the coach right now you could see how the coach was busy making headless speech about the management not thinking about sacking him after losing to Tottenham that alone shows that he is no longer ready to bring a positive change in the team rather he has decided to do things his own way not minding what is happening to the team.

Erik is not supposed to be given the chance of lasting up to 3 season with Manchester United if the management is going a good business because his game plan has not changed likewise his playing tactics, there won't be any good changes until he resigns which he's not thinking so I guess the team may end up finishing in the bottom of the league this season.

Porto against United is not going to be a different thing besides United is not good at away this season so I will be hoping that they get a draw if Erik don't end up introducing a formation that will see the team losing 3 :0 in the first half.

At least, Chelsea started back on track. in their 6 matches they won 4, drew 1 and lost 1. now, Chelsea is in 4th place in the standings. it seems that Enzo Maresca is starting to know how to handle his team in order to get full points in the matches they play, although some players have not shown any development in their game and appearance. of course this makes The Blues supporters quite happy with what Maresca and his team have done, but the steps that Chelsea will go through are still long and maybe in the future there will be challenges and obstacles that are quite difficult for them. most importantly, Chelsea must be able to keep up with Liverpool, Arsenal and several other teams. if this can be done well, then Chelsea has the potential to finish in the top four of the Premier League standings. unfortunately this season is still long, the question is how capable Chelsea are of maintaining their current position. well, a tough job and at the same time a big challenge for Maresca throughout this season.

Steady wondering who's that player causing and leaking information frommthe dressing room to the media. Manchester United management need to send that player outta the dressing room immediately. Maybe the coach ain't the issue, maybe these players aren't doing enough for the coach... I'm seeing too many predictions for the game to end as a fulltime draw between these sides. Up In my head, I see Manchester United winning the both games given to Erik Ten Hag to silent all of the on going noise within the dressing room and amongst the fans. Interesting week ahead.

Haaland is a player who has a big influence on his team because his performance has contributed greatly to making him a player who is currently ranked highest in goals scored. I can't imagine what it would be like if he had a serious injury so he had to be absent for some time, would it affect his team or not, but what is certain is that if Haaland had an injury, Pep would definitely find a way to overcome it even though it would be difficult for him, after all, it is rare for something like this to happen.
I agree with you, whether Manchester City wins or not, the big chance is that Haaland will probably be the player who scores the most goals, as long as he doesn't get injured, I think this will really happen.

I must commend that you are right on point. Most person have become too blinded by the FA cup won by ten hag and they don't see the flaws of ten hag's management skills.  Manchester United is too big for ten hag to manage, in addition to the fact that, this is Premier League, a different one from his previous league. What the team needs is a minimum of 25 wins but with the look of things, Manchester united is not ready to make such record. I feel so sad knowing that he has sold lots of potential players and replace them with unprofessional and inexperienced players, I wonder when is this going to end.
I agree with you on this because it is the same thing i have said here couple of times about how bad Ten Hags management skills are. Winning couple of cups doesn’t justify that he is good enough if it doesn’t reflect on the performance of the players and the team. I also feel that Manchester United is too big for him to manage and he might perform better with smaller teams, what i don’t understand is why the management if failing to see how incompetent Ten Hag is and not sacking him despite numerous poor performances. Alot of good players havee joined the team and they all keep failing so that means the players are not being managed well take Sancho as an example, he joined Chelsea and is suddenly performing well.
Winning the FA cup is incredibly big in England. Meaning if you fire the manager that got the FA cup and do worse, everyone will hate you and call for your head, so giving him some time to show how bad he is was something they needed to do. This way, if they fired the coach that won the FA cup and do worse, everyone would hate them, BUT if they fire the coach who won the FA cup but did horrible afterwards, they would not be bad and they would be able to actually fire him without any pushback from the fans.

Most fans didn't like ETH anyway, but now there is even more reason to do it. What matters now is the next step, would they be able to find someone better? They keep trying but no manager provided them a title, so we don't know if the new manager would be able to.

Yes he is a bit underrated among all the star players, I also don't no why is like that but it could be that the club he is playing for is the reason why he is not that noticeable because if Chelsea were to be very competitive on this premier League they would have seen more of Palmer but how can a player be ranked higher when they are not consistent, so inability for a club to be productive can have a negative effects on a player, so like I already mentioned if Palmer find himself on Manchester City his performance will even be better compare to this because the young star is very good and I think Chelsea will always look forward in trying to renew his contract.
Palmer is now starting to mature and he is in the right team because he gets regular playing time. Now Palmer has become a valuable asset for Chelsea and of course the management will protect him with a long-term contract. Previously, the talent scouts at Manchester City had known the resources he had, only Manchester City could not provide space because there were many more quality players in the team so they sold him to Chelsea. Even if Palmer was still at Manchester City now, I am sure he would not develop because of the lack of playing minutes which affected his mentality and performance.

You have a point because if we reason the whole situation of Palmer on the aspect you are talking about, leaving Manchester City was the best for him because Manchester City is like a club were all the players use to be very competitive among themselves in other to have more chances and noticeable to people, which would have affected the growth of Palmer because I realized that his sudden performance was when he left the club because during that time he was still playing there he was not this good probably because he is not always given much time to perform but since he joined Chelsea he has the time to display all the hidden performance he had, so actually your point is good.

Some significant changes occurred in the Premier League standings ahead of week 7, Manchester City who were previously firmly at the top of the standings had to give up their current position taken by Liverpool who appeared quite impressive with Arne Slot, as well as Chelsea who were surprisingly able to perform quite consistently after their first defeat from Manchester City at the beginning of the league,  The performance and achievements they achieved last season were very poor and forced chelsea to change coaches and even sign many players this season, the addition of many players and the ability that Enzo Maresca has in coaching of course makes them now in the top 4 zone, but even so, we all know how every season the Premier League goes very tightly until the end of the season, so I think there will still be many changes that will occur in the top 5 of the Premier League standings later, including the fierce competition that will test the capacity possessed by Enzo Maresca in maintaining his team in the top zone of the Premier League.

Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea seem to be able to maintain their position in the Champions League zone until the end of the season, besides we must not ignore the potential disruption that is very likely to be caused by Aston Villa.
The Blues defeat in the first week is understandable, because they face defending champions Manchester City, at the same time Enzo Maresca still needs to adapt. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two-time Champions League winners are starting to show their true selves, rising after going through a turbulent season.
It is true, the positive trend that has been successfully built is very easy to shake, especially if Enzo Maresca is faced with a storm of player injuries, but who knows they can actually continue to maintain their level of play.
On the other hand, Manchester United are now quite far from the top four, they are in 13th place with 7 points. It seems that Ten Hag squad has really lost its balance and is now starting to become a mid-table club.

Until week 6
1. Haaland is extraordinary because he has made 10 goals in only 6 matches, but he is a strong candidate for Top Score.

true I was truly speechless seeing what he managed to do, really too strong.
This year there will be many competing for the Golden Ball, I think, could he do it in your opinion?
If he continues at this rate he will surely set goalscoring records in the premier league. i am sure

Haaland has been the top scorer in the Premier League for the past two seasons, so there is no surprise about Haaland's achievements so far because after all, Haaland is still very prolific and is still a goal machine for Manchester City. Thus, I think it is common for Haaland to be the top scorer in the Premier League again and again this season because after all, other teams do not have a more consistent goal machine than Haaland, because Haaland is a target man in Manchester City's attack line.

After all, even though Haaland is injured and or not played in several matches and or does not score goals in several matches, the fact is that Haaland always manages to score many goals in other matches. Because after all, basically Manchester City has a good midfield that always manages to provide good passes to be continued into goals through Haaland and thus, there is nothing surprising about Haaland's achievements so far.

Tottenham's big win over Manchester United was not because Tottenham's performance was good at the beginning of this season but indeed Man United's performance was very bad so that it was successfully utilized by the Tottenham team.
Manchester United didn’t have consistency on their performance and that’s the may main problem the teams is facing all this while, can you imagine that Manchester United started this season with a wonderful performances which everyone was even proud of them, that they can do better this season but unable to defeat common Tottenham.

Through out last season Manchester United and Chelsea are the two team that are unserious last season, but I can see that Chelsea is even much better than Manchester United this season by far; because if we looked at the Chelsea performances in almost all the matches that they’ve played is a very great performed since they where able to secure some goals against their opponents.
Before the match started, actually Tottenham and Manchester United had the same performance in the league and they both collected two wins, 1 draw and two defeats, so it can be said that they have the same performance, but I think  ange Postecoglou was able to bring their team better by rising in that the match and it was different from what Ten Hag did.
I quite agree if you say that if it is not Tottenham that is good but it is Manchester United who are bad in that game, last season Manchester United also experienced the same thing as this season, but it is quite strange for us to see if they have not improved even a little bit at the moment despite the large amount of money they have spent in the transfer market,  So it is very natural that currently Ten Hag is considered the main problem of the Red Devils so far.

Also, I think defeating Manchester United was not a big deal for Tottenham. You should be saying this if Tottenham had beaten teams like Arsenal or Manchester City or even Chelsea. Who is Manchester United this season for winning them to be a great achievement? Many clubs in the EPL now can win Manchester United. And when i mean by many clubs i mean, underdogs team.
Actually, it's not too special if we look at their opponent, Man United, it's like that, what more can we expect. And previously, Tottenham also couldn't beat Arsenal and Newcastle. It's just that, we know how Man United is, even though they're not that good, but they're still always considered a big club. That's why when Tottenham beat Man United, it felt very special. But you're right, we are still waiting for the next big matches again to see if Tottenham has really increased significantly well or not.


Source: Manchester United

Anyway about Man United, in the final Man United won the appeal against the red card received by Fernandes. See this will really chance the performance to be better again?
When i watching the video about this incident i personally too feel the referee is over reacted this because the fault is purely unintentionally and at that time i just feel Bruno Fernandes didn't deserved to gets the red card but finally FA has been release the statement that the referee on this match is did a mistakes so Bruno Fernandes red card is cancelled which mean he will be available when Manchester United will fight against FC Porto on Europa League and against Aston Villa this weekend

I know this statement will not change the result match against Tottenham because although the red card is cancelled but Manchester United is still lost from Tottenham but at least Bruno Fernandes will not absense because Bruno Fernandes is important player for Manchester United and losing him will have an effect to Manchester United performance
Harsh referee decision on red cards should be minimize so that they don't use that to manipulate the ongoing match result. Imagine assuming Bruno Fernandes wasn't sent out of the field who knows if there would have been a turnaround for Manchester United in the game. However, since he his restriction from playing in their outcoming match has been canceled that will be a great relief to the team.

It is because Manchester United have lost their respect in EPL due to their poor performance since last season was why the red card was dished out without proper consideration by the referee and lack of much attention if the red card was deserved by VAR or not. This is why good and consistent performance gives respect to a club and quick decisions will not be taken easily based on what is happening on the pitch.
