I thought Manchester United will be able to stand against Liverpool at least I expected a draw, probably they might not even stand same position as last season.
Maybe the team just need time but giving more time is making things worst it’s better they take action starting from Erik Ten Hag and restructuring the team or else Manchester United will go low, I don’t understand the case with Rashford personally even if he was not the fault totally Rashford is not performing brilliant like what’s wrong with Manchester United.

Is a week for gamblers to know how tired the players were and is painful that they didn't inform any of us gambling on them that they're going to perform terribly 😂. For Arsenal they shared the point which to me wasn't a good result for a team that is eying the top spot and the red card alone changed everything in that game, the Gunners are not good when they're playing with one man down if not the visitors wouldn't have gotten the 1pts, believe me if it was City they would have gotten all 3pts from Brighton. Tottenham Hotspur they don't even know how it happened against Newcastle, like they weren't prepared for the battle ahead and I feel they (Spurs) are coming back strong after the break that's if injury won't affect some of the players.
Manchester United are never serious and they have a problem they can't solve, losing to Liverpool without getting a goal is really disappointing, non of their forward caused much damage even Rashford could not be found, like he could not get things done in that encounter. I feel this guy (Rashford) need to leave the Red Devils and try his luck elsewhere, because he can't even take on a player like he used to do while having the ball. ETH shouldn't be too confident in this guys because they are like amateurs trying to play like professionals, Manchester United need to change whatever style they're using to play.

At least Chelsea played well and had a beautiful game for the fans to watch. You should channel your energy into blasting Nicholas Jackson who bottled a great chance of scoring today. Arsenal did not lose points, they actually dropped points against Brighton and all think they did because of the red card during the game. I won't say so though but if you ask me I'd say that what's the need for VAR if they can not look into such case scenario. Surprising to see Newcastle winning too. I didn't expect that win against Tottenham Hotspur but its obvious that they'll want to see themselves achieving personal hat they couldn't do last season. Shout-out to Manchester City and Liverpool, they have been consistent over the past few years.

There was a very interesting position at the beginning of this match. They said Alexander Arnold's position first crossed the line, then there was an offside review and the match lasted almost two or three minutes of controls. 10 minutes before the end of the first half, Liverpool scored with Luis Diaz.

Manchester United, were quite slow against the pace of Liverpool. You said that Salah was the player of the match in the match, so it is possible, Luis Diaz also had a very good match.

EPL is a very tough league I must say, this is absolutely one of the league with challenging predictions. Come over to London clubs that are quite funny this weekend. Arsenal draw points with Brighton, Tottenham lost points to Newcastle and Chelsea draw points with Crystal Palace, this is probably not a good starting for the Blues at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea was my concern in today's EPL fixture, they had everything to beat their visitors but couldn't following the formidable defendlines drawn by the Eagles. Drawing Chelsea to a 1-1 draw see them to gaining their first point this season at Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca really need to work on his players and game strategy because it might later turn out to be shocking to the manager.

I won't forget this Chelsea who missed all the chances today and ruined my parlay. If I hadn't made a bet, Palmer probably would've made a hat-trick and Chelsea would've scored 5 goals. Thanks to me, they lost points. In the same week that Arsenal lost points, Tottenham and Manchester United also lost. This week was beneficial for Manchester City and Liverpool. There are some good games after the international break, it will be a tough fixture for Arsenal. I hope the players who didn't go to the national team will rest well and play good games when they come back.

Changes might comes as we progress with the league but right now, Manchester United looks like a team that should have been sent down to a division tournament to learn some defensive games. I mean Liverpool just ball shame Manchester United and they were helpless, Erik was out or solution and nothing was done to helped them during the match. It's so sad that M.Salah was looking for more opportunities to devour Manchester United with goals even more.


From the beginning, I never had any expectations From Chelsea from day after they met with Manchester City but when they met Wolves, I was kind of aboit changing my mindset not knowing the just scored goals they ought to have score in the next 4 games and now they couldn't make a single goals despite the shot on target with crystal palace at home. 14 shots on target were made and none was converted to any goal. Chelsea are helpless.

But there is nothing they can expect when the match becomes unbalanced when 10 players against 11 players so Arteta must change his pattern to be more defensive so that the situation is not worse even though the 1 goal reply from Brighton was not really expected but they had to accept it because it must be difficult to play under pressure with fewer players.

At least 1 point they still got in this match and of course this must be a lesson for their future because after all, the slightest mistake on the field will eventually have an impact on the performance and the final result.

btw in today's match the red derby ended with a pretty big score and I am happy with Liverpool's victory in this match because after all this proves several things including their quality which is still maintained despite changes and is in the transition of a new coach.

I think pochettino and Chelsea ended the whole thing on mutual concept without telling the whole public the complete truth. Like I have always said, building this current Chelsea team will take time and patience, which I think the fans and management don't have. As for the Oshimen case, I think the entire public don't know the full story of what went down. I literally had no full knowledge, until I met a strong Oshimen fan, who explained everything to me in detail. Besides, do we even know how much Chelsea are offering to pay Oshimen as a striker(€4m annually) which is 10% less than what Al-Ahli's is offering - https://www.goal.com/en-ng/lists/why-victor-osimhen-rejected-chelsea-transfer-napoli-paltry-wage-offer/blt1bcca3197a982549#csc4bafa4ffcd040fc

Where I actually think Oshimen made the whole mistake, was when he extended his contract sometime last season, with a release clause of around £120m. I was kind of furious that night on hearing the news, because I knew it will turn out bad at the end of the day. But, what I feel is that, he might likely terminate his contract afterwards agreeing a good term with any club, or maybe just wait till January. Oshimen will definitely fit maresca's style of play. But what Chelsea are offering is kind of funny.

There is no doubt about Mohamed Salah's quality. But so do other players at Liverpool. Arne Slot seems capable of immediately continuing the job that Klopp left for him. And what I admire is that the Liverpool players continue to play comfortably under the new coaching there. So as a result we can see that Liverpool is still as strong as last season even though they have changed coaching. Meanwhile, Ten Hag always seems to be unlucky. Because this season he should prove that he can improve Man United again. but the injuries to the players there really meant that Man United couldn't develop at all.

Newcastle have recovered their poor performance last season to be better this season. Meanwhile, Tottenham doesn't seem to be playing as well as last season. Even though they are playing well overall, I see they are still having difficulty completing attacks better. If these problems are overcome, I think Tottenham can become a strong team like Liverpool.

I agree with you about Osimhen because Osimhen could have done very well at Chelsea. Chelsea missed such a great opportunity and I think they will be criticized a lot for this. If the team starts losing points and the fans start talking about it, things could get worse for Chelsea. There is no such problem for now but it could happen in the future.

It is a great opportunity for the team to have a talented player like Cole Palmer playing for Chelsea. He improves every match and can score goals very easily. Cole Palmer is a player that every team wants to have in their squad.

I couldn’t agree more. You highlighted two big mistakes Chelsea made; one is sacking Pochettino prematurely. Chelsea would have given him a little more time to develop the squad. And the other is failing to sign a proven striker in the transfer window. Chelsea fans can bash Osimhen for asking for high wages and say they don’t need him but as we all saw today, Nicolas Jackson has issues finding the back of the net. Enzo Fernandez should have been subbed in the first half, he was clearly killing the game. I am yet to see what Enzo Maresca sees in him. The man of the match today for me would be Cole Palmer, his passes were incredible and beautiful to watch.  

Even though Ten Hag has overhauled the depth of Manchester United squad to be better, their performance is still not much different from last season, of course they will have difficulty competing in the top four of the standings if they are very easily defeated by fellow big teams. It is true, the opportunity to rise is still very open, but in my opinion they will not rise quickly, even though they have a longer break. It seems that the main problem for Manchester United is their manager, where Ten Hag really deserves to be replaced. The ups and downs of performance can continue if Ten Hag does not change his strategy, fans will not tolerate too long an adaptation period.

Liverpool without Jurgen Klopp are still fine, so far Arne Slot has done his job extraordinarily, in my opinion Liverpool management has appointed the right coach. Currently Liverpool are sticking to Manchester City at the top of the standings and both have collected 9 points, while Manchester United has been thrown to 14th place. Casemiro is accused of being the cause of Manchester United defeat, his performance has continued to decline since moving from Real Madrid. There are no excessive expectations for ten Hag squad this season, thankfully if they manage to finish in the top four of the standings when the season ends.

I can’t see so many good names in that squad and the result we are getting from the match cannot be blamed totally on the coach yet, they’re just starting the season and we expected so much from them when they’ve not even understood how their game is this season. I would say they’ve played two big teams and one smaller teams, as they lost to the big teams, they won against the smaller team. I’m not trying to justify them but I think they should be giving some more time to see maybe if there will be any improvement from them before concluding that Eric Ten Hag should be relieved of his job. He did well last season, so we can’t say he will be worse this season, not when the season has just began.

Mohamed salah is the man of the match, indeed Liverpool's winning today against Manchester United was not a surprising one though it has been a rivals for both at every point of their meetings. However, Liverpool became victorious by 0:3 Manchester United at home making it a two defeats from two previous matches as they lost by 2 goals to 1 against Brighton last week.

Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur was another rival match today thou the both teams performance very well but Newcastle stood very strong on their ground as Alexander izak made it through for Newcastle United to 2:1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

Many of the matches this weekend shows that the fire or coldness of seriousness from last season hasn't worn off from the teams.
Manchester City showcased Haaland with a wonderful hat trick and there was Chelsea still being same Chelsea of last season but lacking Sterling and looking like they can improve better than Manchester United who are still having to rely on out of form player of which is Rashford, with same performance still.

Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are still hot and am sure the title will belong in one of these teams possession as a reward for winning the league at the end of this season.

With what we are seeing at Manchester United, they can't top the table with this same performance, not a fan of the club but clearly I sympathise with a lot of fans who earlier believed and hoped to see United competing for a good position among the best of teams In the league. Clearly, there has been no improvement from the coach down to every player, if continue like this may end up below what they were last season.

Same goes to Chelsea, first game they are good and performing then few consecutive matches they become worst and unreliable, how did they move from beating Wolves six goals to two (6:2) and not being able to win Crystal palace from having the leading goal to ending the full time whistle with a draw. Chelsea can't and shouldn't complain of the squad because they made good use of the transfer window, so much is expected from them.

I think everyone expected this result in the match, even Manchester United’s fans knew they won’t be able to win Liverpool in the match. It was a very nice play from Sallah and Luis Diaz, Sallah made two assists, and he was able to score one goal, and Luis Diaz was able to secure two goals. I don’t really know the position in which Manchester United will be ending the season, but I know it’s going to be at the midtable because their performance is just really poor, three matches have been played, and they only managed to win one, they lose the remaining two matches, which is a bad one for them.

 Chelsea have lost their form in recent seasons, crystal palace rivals are not too difficult for them and but chelsea are not too competitive in this match they can not win this match, actually they did have some good chances to score in this match, because of the failure to take advantage of their chances they were only able to end the match with a draw in the match against crystal palace. and honestly they have to improve their performance in this season and in the future.

Manchester United are not what they used to be. After beating Fulham in the first week, they lost to Brighton and Liverpool. Their performance today was not very good. It seems to me that the harmony between Erik ten Hag and the team is still not overcome. His connection with the team should be severed as soon as possible. I think he cannot manage the team when there are so many good names in the squad.
