Who knows why they still allow him, maybe the reason is because his contract has not elapse so they decided to manage him or maybe they still see some good potential in him, so nobody really no the exact reason why they allowed him to continue but whichever way I believe is for the greater good of the club because already the Manchester United management team has already understand the importance of having a good coach in the club, so perhaps for them to have leave Eric Ten Hag they have there reasons, though I'm beginning to realize something in Manchester United performance because last season I was thinking there problem is from Eric Ten Hag but the strategy they have been using on this season is very okay but I don't no why they keep losing matches, however Southampton will be there next challenger on the 14 September let's hope for there own sake they improve because Southampton will eventually tried very hard to win because the current position they are in is obviously very sad for them.

Not many coaches/managers have the ability to understand their team well, where he have to rotate players or decide to replace core players when they are not performing optimally, and coaches/managers like that are expensive, that's why only big clubs can hire them and also that's why only strong teams end up becoming champions repeatedly, and also the greatness of a coach/manager must be supported by the strength of the club in providing funds for the manager to hold or buy players who are considered to be able to make the team stronger.

And Ten Haag looked pretty bad at Manchester United after his first season which was better but after that United did not perform as they should and Rashford is a player who can be said to be bad in that team because he is not a stable player, not only when Ten Hag was at United but previously we have seen how Rashford did not perform like the best player.

I think Arsenal will consider Arteta's future because the positive value experienced by Arsenal under Arteta is much better than the previous coaches, regarding the champion or not this season Arsenal at least for now seems to be able to get the title, seeing the competition at the top is not as good as last season it seems Arsenal will advance easily.

I really do share the same sentiment as you bro, jose Mourinho has proven to be a not just an entertainer but also a winner in everywhere he has been to, except Tottenham Hotspur that sacked him before their carabao cup final against Manchester city.
So as for his days at Manchester united, actually he wasn't supported that much in the transfer market as Eric ten hang, because I believe that if hose Mourinho was supported in the transfer market the way Eric ten hang was supported in this past summer transfer window, I believe that jose Mourinho would have won the league with Manchester united because he has what it takes to do so.

And as for the control aspect you are actually talking of, yes, it's very much true that almost all club hierarchy are looking for someone that would do their biding, but the major problem for them is that the best managers in the game of football will always be in control of who goes in and out of the club, if not, they wouldn't be that much  successful.

Jose Mourinho knows how to win trophies. He doesn't need the club owners telling him how to do his job. The Glazers did not give Jose Mourinho the freedom to pick the players he wanted in the transfer market like other teams he managed in the past. I saw in one of his interviews where he was asked about signing Didier Drogba at Chelsea in 2004. Jose Mourinho told Roman Abramovich to pay and not speak. We all know how successful Drogba went on to become in the premier league and for Chelsea. This was Mourinho’s style and he must have rubbed club owners the wrong way. Clubs do not like a manager they cannot control and will look for any excuse to sack you.

With all the trophies and achievements that Jose Mourinho has won, he has publicly acknowledged that finishing 2nd place with that Manchester United squad in 2018-2019 was his biggest achievement. That speaks volumes about his challenges at the club.  

A manager has a responsibility to give the best results for the team and that is how he manages the squad he has. When there is a bad situation like a bad performance or a bad day like injuries to many key players, the manager has a responsibility to deal with and resolve the situation. I am not saying it is the manager's fault. I am saying a manager needs to take responsibility for what happens to his team. The manager must know how to put each player in the best position. And most importantly the manager must have tactics that suit the style of play of his team.

Pep Guardiola is still in the forefront of the best manager domination, he has proven it since the last four seasons always succeeded in bringing Manchester City to win the EPL trophy. Arne Slot is also worth considering, even though he has only just set foot in the EPL, the results of his work are starting to show with Liverpool's improved performance since he took charge.

Mikel Arteta is also worth considering, even though he failed to lead Arsenal to a perfect start at the start of this season, the squad that Arteta currently has has improved and the players are also starting to understand each other. If Arsenal can win the EPL this season, maybe Arteta will be chosen as the best manager.
Fabian Hurzeler is still less competitive with the three managers mentioned above, he is a talented coach, but will have difficulty winning the best manager nomination with Brighton because the quality of the current squad is still unable to compete with the level of Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

That is the most accurate indicator because in fact it is because the Liverpool coach is more astute at seeing opportunities and he managed to make it difficult for Manchester United's front line to create opportunities. The strategy of dampening Manchester United's attacks was successfully implemented by Arnold Slot and made them beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. There are many variables in a winning strategy in a team and it is influenced by many things so that there is some debate about who is stronger. Manchester United have experienced two defeats so far and maybe Ten Hak is not in a comfortable condition in the coaching chair because he has got everything he wants, even for the new players he wants have also been fulfilled by management and the results have not improved as desired.

If choosing between Arne Slot and Pep Guardiola I think the strongest candidate is Pep Guardiola because he has created a long history for Manchester City in the last few seasons but Arne Slot also needs to be appreciated because he has also just started the season in the Premier League but has created a winning streak without even conceding while Manchester City has conceded 2 goals even though the final result is that they both collected 7 goals.

Mikel Arteta and Fabian Hürzeler still need to learn a lot and evaluate because their clubs have not fully performed optimally I understand for Fabian Hürzeler because he is a new coach and needs to adapt, but for Mikel Arteta I have high hopes for him, because he has been Arsenal's coach for quite a long time but has not been able to give the title that the club wants.

The manager of the year will likely be between Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot because both have them have not lost any game. Fabian Hurzeler of Brighton and Mikel Arteta of Arsenal do not have 100% 'performance. They have both had one draw in three games. Arne Slot might be the preferable candidate since he is new in the Premiership and successfully won two games. But Pep's Manchester City have won more games than Liverpool, this might be the advantage the Spaniard have over Liverpool's coach.       

Manchester United are basically out of reach and this time, they ought to be more serious and consistent in their epic form. On the records, poor performance are oriented from the unseriousness of the club, which will downgrade them to irrelevant position. Manchester United have one of the most terrible performance when it comes to elite clubs, this is not just happening on their check. Erik Ten Hag ought to be fire because he's an average coach, having settled for lesser results which is not welcoming under his watch.

It was amazing to see Brighton and Liverpool. They excelled under their new coaches, Fabian and Arne. It should also be noted that this is their first time managing in the Premier League. They got very impressive results in their first three games of PL.

And now, they're being included in the nomination manager of the month.



I have voted for Pep, because City was my favorite team, but I think Arne Slot deserves to be Manager of the Month. He impacted Liverpool. He made them more tactical and structured. Who do you guys think deserves to be Manager of the month?

How can you replace a player when you dont have the right replacement for the player? Manchester United substitute players cannot make any changes when they come into the field. For quite some time, Garnacho has been starting replacing Antony, when he is subbed for Antony there isn't any good performance from him as well. Manchester United should sell their players and buy new players or better they should bring young boys from the academy. Because it pains me a lot to see that it's their first team that is having this bad performance its better that the academy boys lose to some teams in the EPL than see the almighty Manchester United players including Rashford doing nothing.

Out of the 38 league matches that'll be played this season by each club in the English Premier League, just three have been played abd out of that three, Arsenal were able to win 2 and draw 1 so why do you think anyone in his right mind will want to write off the Gunners at this very early stage of the season. Arsenal have finished their last two seasons as first runners-up in the league and I strongly believe that they'll also challenge for the league title this season. Playing against Tottenham Hotspur is always a difficult game for Arsenal but I think the Gunners will beat them when they face each other next weekend.

Actually, some of Man United's signing this season were not bad to strengthen the team. Like Leny Yoro, Mathijjs de Ligt in the back line, then there is Manuel Ugarte in the middle line, and some other players who might be pretty good. They even spent €214.50m for expenditure.

It's just unfortunate, Leny Yoro had a foot injury before the season started and had to recover for several months. And now, his condition has started to improve, he seems to be walking without crutches in the rehabilitation process.

However, this is not just about the players, even Ten Hag, needs to be considered again, whether Man United will really maintain that coach until the end of the season or not, by looking at how Man United's performance is now and perhaps in the next few weeks.

Agree. The coach should be the first person who has the responsibility for the bad performance. In this case, Ten Hag must be responsible for the team's performance decline. He has a control of all players, decided the strategy/tactic, determine to buy and sell any player, and has the right to put any player in the lineup. If there are players who failed to perform well, Ten Hag can send the players to sit on the bench for the next matches.

We don't know what the main reason, but maybe Rashford fits with the strategy/tactic applied by Ten Hag. We may assume Rashford should be replaced by another player because we only focus on Rashford's individual stats, we don't analyze the performance of the whole team. But I can agree that Ten Hag sometimes surprised us. Maguire is one of the real example, I can't believe that he is still a part of Man United squad. As far as I know, Maguire never performed with his best anymore. He should be sold and replaced with a new player.

Arsenal fans have something to worry about concerning that upcoming game because in the UEFA Nations League today where France played against Italy Ricardo Caliofori who is Arsenal's new signing was substituted out after he appeared to have picked up an injury. Due to the red card that Declan Rice picked up, and his suspension against that game Caliofori was an option for Arsenal in Midfield or defensive role, to free up Timber. His conditions is being looked at, we will hear some updates on it soon from the people in charge so that we can know the condition he is in. If it is a serious injury, then that is early bad luck for Arsenal with Merino already injures too.

They don't have much choice because even if Ten Hag is replaced as coach in the end they can't be sure whether it will be a good change or not to make considering there is no guarantee for the new coach to shine and get the same trophy as Ten Hag did when coaching.

We have seen from this decade alone Manchester United have made a lot of coach changes but only a few can provide trophies for them at the end of the season.
This may be another consideration for Ten Hag to be retained.

Although in this case I also don't really like why he continues to be defended but I think Manchester United also know that this decision although heavy but must be done with some considerations that they realize there is actually nothing easy in terms of the risks that must be borne.

Ten Hag is currently in a state of confusion because all his ideas are not working for now and their situation has not changed since last season, it has always been their defense and they have not been able to manage their defense well, this season has not been a good one and what Liverpool did to them and it is just that there is nothing they would have done about Liverpool.  Liverpool defeating them at their home is just very embarrassing to them I say some people saying that they will not sack ten it is possible because they give more opportunity compared to Chelsea the moment they don't get what they want the next thing they are making you lose your job.  and because of how bad their defense is they can not even fix it even after buying defensive players the problem is still not fixed.

it is not as if Ten does not know exactly what to do but why is taking time for him to bring a proper solution after spending money, nothing is changing and it was Chelsea who was experiencing this, and now Chelsea is far better than Manchester united this season at least they have improved, but the case of Manchester United is nothing to write home about. and even if the defense is bad the goalkeeper should be above average but even the goalkeeper condition is not okay and  the fans are not satisfied with onana and making him their number one is now sounding  like the worst decision they have made, and after multiple training nothing is changing even if the best will not be the best forever, Manchester united is better than this, the situation of the club have gone worst.

If you fully analyse the team you'll see that the defense alone is not to blame. If you watch their game against Liverpool you'll see that De Ligt and Martinez played well before the first goal. The problem of defence for Manchester United starts from the midfield. The midfield cannot control the game, they cannot press and win back balls and they give the ball away very cheaply. When you play that way against a good team you will be punished.
Look at the way Casemiro is easily dispossessed in games. This is the player that is supposed to win back balls. Same with Mainoo. The players who are supposed to win back balls and control the game are players who easily lose the ball and don't know how to keep the ball.
Then you have Fenandes who doesn't also know how to keep the ball. He's an attacking-minded player who just believes in putting one-time crosses, long passes or shots. With the kind of midfield and attack Manchester United has, this pattern of play won't work.

Ten Hag is using players who can't play a particular pattern of football and forcing them to play that way because that is the only pattern he knows how to play. The players in United as not as bad as people think. Under the right system, they will play much better. Ten Hag is a very arrogant person who can't even see that the way he plays is wrong. He never accepts that he is to blame and that is why Manchester United will be in this situation for a long time as long as he's their coach.
