It's never been easy benching a captain, if you look at club's structures captians have power than most assistant coaches
But this was a big step by Ten Hag impressed with the move
And that's how a proper Man United Defense should be not the one doing all the job of r the other.

They really need it that's why they still looking for new players but i don't know why Manchester United are very difficult to buy their target players this season even they were rejected by several players and Ten Hag have not much option for centre back position currently because on that position Ten Hag only have Varane, Martinez and Maguire so that's why he still considers to played Maguire and seems after positive result against Liverpool last week he has find good combination between Varane and Martinez so Ten Hag probably will played both of this players today and putting Maguire on the bench

When Ten Hag praise Harry Maguire at pre season,I told my younger brother that if Ten Hag do not make brave decision or knows that the reason Manchester United are suffering in defence is because of Harry Maguire, he don't know why coaches like him, he was terrible during Ole regime but he did nothing about it and he was sack, he became worst under Rangnick still he was not bench and Manchester United didn't qualify for champions League position and rangnick had his worst season in management. So ten hag has made a right decision benching him and he had an outstanding results against Liverpool so let's see how things go from now on but I will say they should sell him now.

Manchester United need a stronger defender instead of Maguire.  I still don't understand why Maguire is being played persistently.  His former teammate Çağlar Söyüncü can be a good alternative to him.  Or they should open the purse and bring one of the best defenders in the world.  Maguire can no longer afford this responsibility.

Before the Southampton vs Man United game Erik ten Hag told the British media that being captain does not guarantee being ready to play all the time.
Looks like a sign that Erik ten Hag will again not play Harry Maguire as a starter in the Southampton vs Man United match, especially when facing
 Liverpool in the previous match Bruno Fernandes was quite successful as captain of Man United. On the other hand, the performances of Rapael Varane
and Lisandro Martinez were very solid in maintaining the defense when Man United beat Liverpool. My prediction is that Erik ten Hag will use
the same formation when Man United faced Southampton.

It looks like Chelsea did have Harry Maguire as an alternative should they fail to land Fofana, because until now the negotiation process for Fofana's
transfer has not gone well, because Leicester continue to reject Chelsea's offer for Fofana. Moreover, the transfer market is closing in a few days,
so there is a possibility that Chelsea will fail to get Fofana. Therefore, there are many rumors that say Chelsea are interested in buying Maguire,
especially after Man United performed very well when playing without Maguire. This makes Maguire's future at Man United a question mark,
I think Man United should sell Maguire immediately, because until now Maguire has made too many mistakes that have harmed his team.
So why keep a player like Maguire, which surprises me why Chelsea are after Maguire, who has had such a poor form at Man United.

The match is Chelsea's opportunity to win back the confidence of its fans after that disastrous result in Leeds. The return of Mateo Kovačić, Armando Broja and Christian Pulisic would be a great motivation to the Chelsea team. The only challenge Chelsea has currently is the absence of a natural finisher o goal scorer. But the struggling Leicester City would be very desperate to prove a point in Stanford Bridge. Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers is an experienced tactician and shouldn't be underestimated. The Leicester midfield can also overwhelm its Chelsea counterparts, just like Leeds did in the last match.       

Well yes, you are right in what you say, sometimes when a team has a bad start it is difficult to recover positions, they only have to concentrate on the games that come to win them, however he could say and give fge, that Liverpool It is a team that is not like any other, Liverpool has a lot of experience in the PL and in the UCL, it knows how to overcome any adversity, which if it is necessary to clarify that it is always good to start with a strong foot and give a victory, but sometimes the players are not 100% and they need to adapt, which, I put in the 2nd game and things will turn out better.


Well, the truth is that I am a person who does not believe in Ten Hag at all. For me, the things that are decided in Manchester should not be decided by him, but by the directors, if he does not treat his stars well, what Can you wait for a player who is not a star? Every big team has stars, or at least one, but if they come out of one like CR7 I don't want to think how they can sustain themselves, that's fine, they've bought Casemiro and he's really good, but if Ten continues with his attitude as Boss or teacher of children, it is going to be very bad for the whole team, of course this is my perception, I don't know if some think about it, but as I see it, I am convinced that everything is his fault.

The current Leicester is not the Leicester we knew back then when they won the EPL title, so of course there will be no doubt that Chelsea will win this match easily. This match will also take place at Stamford Bridge, this is a plus for them and a motivation for them to spoil their fans with victory. Don't use their last match as a reference for this match, of course this match will produce a much different result. I thought I'd bet on Chelsea today, it's a good chance with -1 on the handicap.


The last time a fan didn't trust his team to be supported through betting, that person had bad luck. This happened to a friend of mine who is a Manchester United fan but doesn't believe that Manchester United can win or draw against Liverpool last week .

I think Harry Maguire is no longer the main choice for Manchester United under Erik Tan Hag, in the two matches when Harry Maguire started, Manchester United lost, the last time Harry Maguire became the main player, Manchester United lost to Brentford with a score of 4-0. I think the duo Raphaël Varane and Lisandro Martínez will be the right choice for Manchester United's defense. I think when have excited offering from Chelsea for Maguire not bad to sell him and Manchester United could use this money transfer looking for other player, but not easy for Erik Tan Hag sell Harry Maguire have been an icon for Manchester United.

Harry Maguire can no longer hold the defense, he looks tired and desperate until blunders. So not too surprised if Ten Hag continues to support Martinez and Varane. If I were him, I will take off the captain's to Bruno and no doubt put him to market. Chelsea more looks interested to recruit him, before too late do it asap on this summer.

I hope chelsea can do the best in the upcoming match. losing against leeds has been giving a huge impact to the morale of all players. The next opponent was leicester city which is more strongest compared with leeds united. If chelsea will have the same performance as last match and then it would be a disaster for chelsea. I hope that tuchel will have a new strategy or rotation to the its player against leicester city. Chelsea needs to win against leicester to be able to compete with another big club like city and arsenal.
Chelsea needs to earn more points.

Chelsea will play at home against Leicester. And if you look at the statistical odds of winning, I also think that Chelsea will try to win the match at home even though last season Chelsea also drew with Leicester, but Chelsea have also won a lot at home to Leicester and at least that can give a little motivation to Chelsea this season to try to win at home this season.

Leicester was actually not a threat to Chelsea last season. but for this season I'm a little doubtful of chelsea's performance. although looking at the statistics the chances of victory for chelsea are very large. but for this match I must dare to speculate for chelsea's victory. because i am a chelsea fan. to bet, I'll think about it first.

The weekend has presented us with interesting games but I'd put my money on Liverpool, Man United and Man City games. If I'm to predict, I think Man United may end in a draw or probably lose because even though Southampton have not been the brightest and strongest out there, they still put up a fair fight..
 In Man City case, they would end up the winners because I don't think Crystal can stand the anger with which Pep's men would play since they drew to Newcastle last week.
 Then Liverpool? I see a tough game here, won't lie. Maybe a GG situation.

Chelsea today meet Leeds is a day that should be used by chelsea to get a win because so far Leicester City is an opponent that is very easy to beat and it is evident from the previous few matches they have not won so Chelsea should get a win in this match to get extra points score and utilize to get many goals.

Harry Maguire has led Manchester United since January 2020 and has spent the majority of his career at Old Trafford among the top candidates.

After a challenging start to the season, it appears that is no longer the case as he did not impress in losses to Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion. Martinez, though, distinguished himself against Liverpool on Monday by reaffirming his partnership with Raphael Varane.

Ten Hag is adamant that he will continue to support Martinez and Varane as United's defensive coordinators when they visit St. Mary's Stadium to play Southampton for the time being.

Chelsea aren't a reliable team recently. Their huge loss against Leeds was a good proof for this. They still need to sign a striker to solve their problem with scoring goals comfortably. Leicester are also not in a good shape maybe but I still can't be sure of a win for Chelsea. Even if it happens I think it would be by a one goal difference. It is going to be a really challenging season for Chelsea if they don't finish up a striker transfer soon. They can finish the season at a lower position this time.

Crystal palace exactly is on fire, moreover with the victory previously and also draw result when facing Liverpool in their previous match. However, Man City is also not easy opponent. Man City will not lose their chance right now to collect the full points because they have lost the full point previously. I am sure that both will score, but Man City will win this game.

Leicester City had some bad experiences the beginning of this season. From 3 matches, they could only get 1 draw result and 2 losses. If they can develop and increase their performance, they may be drawn again against Chelsea. But if they aren't, Chelsea may be the winner by utilizing their even small chance to win. Chelsea was a big club and they should be play effectively and optimally right now

So far Fulham and Arsenal are unbeaten in the Premier League, but Arsenal are indeed better, having achieved perfect results in 3 matches.
But that doesn't mean Arsenal can beat Fulham easily, moreover Fulham managed to play in a draw with Liverpool in the first week of
the Premier League, so the confidence of Fulham players is also quite high right now. Arsenal must be wary of facing Fulham, especially their
striker Mitrovic is very dangerous, Mitrovic managed to score two goals against Liverpool, and also Mitrovic scored in stoppage time as Fulham
beat Brentford. This means that Arsenal defenders must really take care of Mitrovic well and I believe in the quality of Arsenal defenders.
Arsenal should be able to continue their positive trend when facing Fulham, especially Arsenal playing at home. So with the full support of
Arsenal supporters, I believe Arsenal players will be even more motivated to win.

I suppose bookmakers are trying to see those who have got the balls, lol
Possibly is all because of that single game and win and I wonder why shouldn't them be given some preference to a win ahead of Southampton. The last weekend Liverpool 1:2 Manchester United wasn't just the best of the underrated Manchester United with good reason though but, Manchester United played with all there might. You could see the passion in the eyes and body language of every player, on and off the pitch. They managed it good and they won.
Southampton have been a good team, Possibly are scared of flthis game and would rather defend than attack more after viewing the Liverpool and Manchester United fixtures last week.
