Im so disappointed at Manchester United, I taught they were getting any better but sadly it appears they aren't, and I'm not happy at their performance, I know I will be sounding like a fan of which I'm not but my biggest concern is that this games wasn't of much importance to Manchester city because looking at their form and strength, they still have got a chance at a trophy this season but Manchester United appears like this is their only chances yet they messed it up, they did had chances even in the first and second half yet they weren't able to convert or utilize any of them so they just performed terribly, I just hope they get better and try getting the Europa so they have something to fall back at by the end of the new season.
Congratulations to Manchester City for winning the 2024 FA Community Shield. Pep Guardiola's men had to come from a goal down to equalize in the dying minutes of the game before going on to defeat Manchester United during via penalty shootout. What a good way to start the new season for the reigning England Premier League champions and what another impressive record for the club manager Pep Guardiola who has now won his trophy numbers 18 since he was appointed as the club manager in the summer of 2016.
This is an incredible achievement and congratulations to Manchester City and the whole of the team’s management. They’ve started off the season with a draw and a first trophy to complement it. Pep Guardiola have proven once again to be the best manager in this premier league race. He has been the best manager in the league since he joined them in 2016, no any manager have had this great achievement within this period than he has. Manchester City equalized in the final minutes of the game and took the game to the penalty which is in their advantage and won the game. I am not expecting anything less about the team, they’re ready for the next season and I don’t think they’ll perform less than average in what they’ve done so far from the past season.
Manchester City and Manchester United faced each other for the Community Shield trophy.The goals came in the last minutes of the match in which both teams did not find many scoring positions.United scored the first goal in the 82nd minute and City scored the equalizer in the last minutes to send the match to penalties.
The penalties ended with City leading 7-6 and City managed to win the cup.I think we can say that both teams were not ready for the season.

Manchester United had the chance to win the match in the second half, they were playing very well and were able to get the first goal of the match, they just need to hold it for some minutes to become champions, but unfortunately, they failed because Manchester City’s pressure towards the ending was very strong and they made it at the end. Congratulations to City once again.
Yea, congratulations to them, although it ended on a penalty shootout which we may not blame any team on this, for me both team difference was not that much, Manchester City did well by equalizing the goal scored by Manchester United, the only aspect I will say Manchester underperformed was allowing macheste city to equalize the goal, this is a cup match despite how unimportant Manchester United see it to be, they are not suppose to allow Manchester city to get a goal in that match hence the were opportuned to be the first scorer in the match.
Manchester United missed there opportunity no doubt but I believed they have learnt that it is not good to give your opponents such chance to equalize in the injury time, as a professional team such was not expected but in football we expect the unexpectable, although the seriousness of Manchester City towards the end of the game was something else but the fact still remain that it ended in penalty and penalty shootout can favour any side but that doesn't mean that they are the best, it simply means that they were lucky, let hope to see a better Manchester United this season, congratulations once more to the winners.
Dominic Ayodele Solanke-Mitchell has been very impressive in the last campaign of the EPL and making a move out from Bournemouth would be something to say he's making a positive step to greatness, that's if he leaves Bournemouth since he has been one of their key striker who got 19 goals in 38 games with 3 assist, to me he has been impressive and I expect more from him next season. Before the season begins I think if Dominic Solanke would be leaving the side between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal I think the Gunners should be a better place rather than going to Tottenham, we know the Spurs side are still looking for a striker to replace Kane but it hasn't been easy and Son has been trying to get things work out for the team but he needs an extra hand to make it work for Spurs. Which team is best for the man Dominic Solanke is it Arsenal or Tottenham? We know Arsenal are second best to get the league title than Tottenham, so is the Gunners the right team to give Solanke the EPL title?
https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/40805340/dominic-solanke-joins-tottenham-six-year-contract
Deal done, he joined with Spurs for 6 years contract.
There are a lot of things going on in Tottenham. And I don’t think any player should go into a club where there are problems. To be honest, problems are always going to be in every club. But I think going to Tottenham right now is almost like an additional pressure of having to perform well which he probably doesn’t need right now. And if Solanke had gone to Arsenal, he would have probably had a better time and Arsenal has also competing for the English Premier League title since the last three seasons. So there is a chance that Arsenal would be able to win the English Premier League title final this season and if he went to Arsenal, he would have won the English Premier League title, I think so.
As I am writing this we are having end of the game now we are heading for the extra time where most chances we will be able to found winner because now all is looking for aggressive end of this game after having 80 minutes bored game.
Manchester City have won the Community Shields! Making it 18th trophies won by Pep Guardiola for his 9 years staying, it a wonderful achievement for him. Once again congratulations for Manchester City and a job well done for Manchester United for surprising me to hold Manchester city up to penalty shootout, indeed this both teams are really ready for this season, there is going to be a lot of competition this time around because all the top teams are all 70% in best form but I can speak for Chelsea.
The way Manchester City have turn Champions League to a usual trophy winning ground will be paining some people that are yet to win a single Premier League for many years, I Mean Arsenal fans. They will be terrified right now because they will think the way Manchester City has won community shield is the same way they are going to win the Premier League but I'm confident in Arsenal that last time Manchester City won't be community should will happen again.
The last time they took the community shield, they had the most useless season, no Premier League and no Champions league, are you thinking what I'm thinking. Perhaps the third attempt of Michel Arteta is going to bring home the Premier League trophy after many attempts by the legend that couldn't finish their dreams for Arsenal club.
A big congratulations to Manchester City on their well deserved Community Shield title, they played very well and won the game just as they lost to Arsenal before the beginning of the last season. Last season, Manchester City were winning the game just Manchester United were doing today, and Arsenal leveled the score at the dying minutes of the game just as City also did and City won in the penalties just as Arsenal also did last season.
I think both teams deserved to win, but it would have been a tough time for those who supports clubs outside the two participants if united had won the game. So many Chelsea and arsenal fans are literally happy to see united lose, which I can understand, due to football banter and other reasons. But truth is, I would have been happy to see united raise the shield. Enough of this Manchester city winning almost every trophy.
And I am quite sad for Jordan Sancho. After getting accepted and settled all indifferences with Ten hag, he couldn't convert the penalty that might have taken the game the other way round. Penalty is a game that can go either ways. I will like to see how Ten hag will treat him from now, let's see if Ten hag can really give him the managerial support.

Hold it for some minutes ?. Against pep ? No way!!
I literally knew that Ten hag would want to play a defensive game, the very moment he had the lead. But we all know that City can press their opponent for the entire 90mins without getting tired. If it were to be the current arsenal team, they would have been able to hold on, but with united and their current defense, there was no way. Congrats to city

It's incredible how the Manchester City coach manages to make sure that even when he's not playing with all his best players, the team can still perform well. In this game, for example, the Manchester City coach benched many good players to avoid injuries while the Premier League games started soon. But even so, Manchester City managed to play without any problems against a Manchester United team that was made up of all his best players. I can't understand why the Manchester United coach put Bruno Fernandes as the main striker, when Bruno Fernandes is a player who plays better in the position Mason Mount was in.
I believe that the Manchester United coach has still not managed to have a fixed formation in which he has the ideal players for each position and is his strongest eleven. He is constantly experimenting with the team. This will not bring any great improvement to the team in terms of winning the Premier League. Manchester United is clearly a team that still has no identity, no direction. Anyway, congratulations to Manchester City, as long as Josep Guardiola is the coach of Manchester City, this team will always win something. There is no doubt that Josep Guardiola is a great coach.

I don’t know what Chelsea is doing with so many goalkeepers when they can only make use of one in a match. I don’t really think goalkeepers should be what Chelsea will be fighting for right now, there are other positions where Chelsea is performing poorly that they need to fix. Chelsea's defense is just too poor, it was just too easy for their opponents to penetrate during the preseason matches. I think they need to fix that, because no matter how good a goalkeeper is, if the defense is poor, then people will think the goalkeeper’s performance is poor. When Chelsea are singing, they should focus on quality players and not just signing random players.
Since after that Peter Cech was sold, and he retired, Chelsea hasn't gotten a perfect replacement for him, Thibaut Courtois and Mendy would have been two different keepers to have taken the position of our their unforgettable legendary and Champions League winner peter Cech but Thibaut Courtois left Chelsea for Madrid whereas Mendy couldn't leave up to expectations after a couple of seasons with Chelsea, So I kind of believe that Chelsea is making all necessary efforts to buy a keeper replacement for Peter Cech, whom will not only just keep for few seasons and leave or lose form but a keeper that will have a memorable place in the club's history.
That many goalkeepers will definitely be very wasteful for a team because Chelsea will only use a few and it would be more ideal if Chelsea could sell half of that number to other teams and buy some other defenders to fill their defense to make it better.

Manchester City deserves a lot of respect after this win, it has earned them more titles with their manager. Pep Guardiola has been the most successful coach in the Premier League since he was brought in, so he will be the most historic coach by winning many titles.
On August 18, Manchester City will play Chelsea for the inaugural Premier League match. City remain favorites to secure the title, but Chelsea, coached by Enzo Maresca, should be wary of their performance. Looking forward to this first game next weekend, it's going to be great.
Because no matter how good Arsenal's squad is in fact there are clubs whose squad is better and for the EPL now the answer is definitely Manchester City.
In addition, we must also be aware that sometimes not only players are the benchmark in this case because we must be aware that teamwork and management in setting a good plan from the coach is always an added value to make a club a champion.
It cannot be denied that the Arsenal squad to date is still above average, especially since most of them are dominated by young players who have extraordinary talent. But to get the trophy is not as simple as imagined because they must be able to create stability in terms of players and performance in order to become a good rhythm to get a trophy in a competition and Arsenal still can't do that.
I agree with what you said in this case where although Arsenal played well but Manchester City until now played better and we certainly see that with the record achievements that Manchester City currently has, it is very evident that they are still the best in the EPL.In addition, we must also be aware that sometimes not only players are the benchmark in this case because we must be aware that teamwork and management in setting a good plan from the coach is always an added value to make a club a champion.

This is suspected from the presence of Pep as a very good strategy setter at Manchester City but that does not mean Arsenal do not have a chance in this case because their chances are still very much there, it's just that there must be several possibilities that occur if Arsenal want to become champions in the EPL, namely they, especially Arteta, must be able to strategize better than Pep or another possibility is that Arsenal must hope Pep leaves Manchester City because it is the brain of the slick performance that Manchester City is currently showing for Pep's work as a good scheme setter behind the wheel of Manchester City.
Currently, when talking about champions in the EPL, the discussion will be a little boring even though in terms of running the league the competition is actually quite good but the champions remain the same where in the last 7 seasons, only Liverpool have managed to thwart Mancehster City champions the rest no one can tackle them. So indeed the discussion of champions will definitely lead to the same club where Manchester City always get better in the end than any club in the EPL for now.
Pep is indeed in control of Manchester City current success, although it cannot be denied that the Manchester City players are not bad but when it is combined with Pep it is clear that Manchester City's performance is better than expected because Pep knows what he has to do with his squad on the field so Pep is always the biggest scourge for other clubs in the competition for trophies in every season that takes place.

Manchester City performed relatively poorly in this match as they found many weak points. But still Manchester City couldn't win, while Casemiro had the most chances but couldn't hit the ball which made it impossible to score. Although the game ended up going to Tribeca, Manchester United ended up losing.
Although both teams leveled the game after conceding a goal in the first stage, they failed to win in the end as they missed the last ball which forced Manchester United to lose.

To be honest, I didn't expect Arsenal to win against Leverkusen in yesterday game because everyone saw how Leverkusen dominated their league last season. The defeat against Arsenal is the second game that Leverkusen has lost since last season, and Arsenal played an outstanding game, scoring two goals in less than 10 minutes. The Gunners deserve praise because defeating Leverkusen is not easy, I believe that if it hadn't been for Manchester City pressure, Arsenal would be the favorite to win the league next season, but competing with Guardiola over the last four seasons has been difficult. However, if Arsenal looks for a striker to improve their performance, it will be the best move to help them win the Premier League next season, because relying on Havertz and Jesus, we cannot be sure that Arsenal will achieve what they want next season.
But I was confident for the Arsenal F.C because they are doing great and they are improving their performance day by day and they surprised many big teams anc now team will underestimate that team. Bayer 04 Leverkusen football team won the match badly and I think their planning was not perfect and the strikers didn't play wel in the crucial time . At the start of match two players did back to back goals and they bent the match to their sides at the start of match. Then two more persons did goal for the team and tea m score was 4 and that was excellent score.The defense of Bayer 04 Leverkusen team was not strong and that's why they lose match badly.I watched this friendly match, although Arsenal performed impressively but I am still worried about the Arsenal squad because in my opinion the current Arsenal squad does not have a cover for Saka and Odegaard. because when Saka does not attack, he moves completely to the left side, and that does not mean Viera is not good, it's just that he is not RW. So honestly Arsenal needs a versatile player on the right side or a competitive and quality RW depth. because if Saka is injured, Arsenal will not be able to attack on the right side.
Today we are going to see the match between Manchester United and Manchester City which can be an interesting match since both teams got some new players and both teams had some changes during this summer. Manchester City normally can have more chances based on the performance they had in the last season but the bad news for Manchester City is about their player Jack Grealish. It was so shocking for Manchester City but it seems is injured and he is going to be absent from the game they have against Manchester United.
The match is not as interesting as I expected. Manchester City is totally in control of the game but has not been able to open up the Manchester United defense. United seems to be looking for a lost balls to help them make some counter-attacking runs. But it has not been fruitful with Rashford not being able to use his pace to get the needed effect on the City defense. Both teams are defending really well and have been able to withstand their attacks. Pep Guardiola seems to be frustrated, and it is looking like the same result we had in the FA Cup might happen today. I have not seen much of Erling Haaland in this game, and Mason Mount is surprising starting the game but not much impact. It will be good to see Erik ten Hag introduce Jadon Sancho, maybe in the second half. Manchester United have missed him. Jack Grealish's presence would have made some difference because of his dribble skills and pace but City attack is not doing badly.
It will be better if United make use of the chances that they are having to net the post because they might not see such opportunities again, and if City have theirs, they might find the back of the post. It is still goalless.
Although Manchester United created enough chances to score in this match, they failed to find the ball in the net of the Manchester City team's goal post. However, the mind game was a hit so both teams were able to score even goals, eventually forcing Tribeca to score five goals apiece.
There the game ended in a draw and three more tiebreakers followed, with Manchester City winning, and Manchester United conceding a goal.
Today's game was hard fought by both the teams as their competition was so fierce, the fans of both the teams were very interesting and there was peace for a long time.
Arsenal are strengthening their squad ahead of the season. These new additions would require adjustment to a new league, and are here to replace aging or injured players who have enjoyed knowledge of the league.
While Manchester City don't have to change last season's squad much except for KDB and where injury forced them. They have time to integrate their new additions.
And also, why do you think that Arsenal will win the league if Manchester City had one of their fewest total points tally last season & Arsenal couldn't usurp them? I predicted Arsenal as second but again I wouldn't be surprised of Liverpool overtakes them as 2nd & there's ample evidence/logic to that.
I think Arteta will have to move differently this season, if he wants to win the league. Arteta needs to make decisions quicker. It takes him like 3-4 games before he arrests a situation.
Manchester City will have periods in the season where they will drop points, Arsenal should be capitalizing on every single slip up. That’s the only way.
Arsenal looks like they are making good changes there is no doubt about that, but it doesn't really look like it's enough because while they are getting new players, it takes time for those players to adjust to a new club and that could be an issue. Remember, these are all just regular humans, they might be making millions but they still need to go grab that candy they like, for cheat day, and may not have that in London, that is one thing to be upset about.While Manchester City don't have to change last season's squad much except for KDB and where injury forced them.

Now you may think, candy? Really? But, what I mean is that there are million things like that, candy is just the most obvious smallest tiniest example, there are million things you are changing. Only thing that would work would be transferring from Chelsea to arsenal lol, that seems like it doesn't change a thing.
