I agree with you. I have serious doubts whether Manchester United team can get 3 points in this match. I know the Southampton team is very weak. This team has lost all three matches this season. And this team is currently at the bottom of the points table. However, we have not seen good performances from Manchester United players so far this season. Manchester United managed to win the first match against Fulham. But Manchester United's performance was not good in this match either. So even though Southampton is a weak opponent, Manchester United has a high chance of losing points in this match. I think the match is more likely to be a draw.

It's a very fine line, players definitely need discipline, but "firmness" can cause conflicts, remember Mourinho at Manchester United, this is an example when the coach was quite firm with the players, and they repaid him with disobedience on the football field, it was not difficult to understand that this would lead to the dismissal of the coach. I think that ten Hag is fine with this, but the problem is still there, and perhaps it lies in the fact that he does not buy the best players, although he spends a lot of money on it. Anton still cannot adapt and I see how often fans laugh at him, in such an environment it is difficult for a player to think about football and he already wants to leave the team. By the way, Rashford used to be a very good striker. Why did he become so bad under ten Hag? I am inclined to think that Eric is not the coach with whom Manchester United will achieve something...

Well I really buy into most of your prediction bro, especially the Chelsea game, let's take a look at this Chelsea team and the way Enzo mascara set up his team, they are very much bound to conceive goals, and the combination of fafana and colwill is actually not help matters, so I believe that they will definitely play as predicted by you, which is both teams to score.

And am really convince of Manchester city and Liverpool will all get their winning in their respective matches, and as for Aston villa, I think that they has the capacity to beat Everton, unless they have a bad day in the office, while I have some doubt if Brighton can be able to defeat Ipswich in their home turf, but anything can still happen though.

Where I have a serious doubt is the game between Manchester united vs Southampton, in the past three games Manchester united have played so far, we have seen a lot from them and how terrible they are, so I actually don't have that confidence in betting on them on winning Southampton, I believe that it might ends in a draw if Southampton can't get the winning since they are on their home turf.

Rather than having to talk about Man United and Chelsea which will never end, it would be better to discuss the upcoming matches. Have you chosen which matches you will include in your betting slip?

This is my temporary prediction.

Southampton vs Man United (MU win)
Liverpool vs Nottingham (Liverpool win)
Man City vs Brentford (Man City win)
Brighton vs Ipswich (Brighton win)
Aston Villa vs Everton (Aston Villa win)
Bournemouth vs Chelsea (BTTS Yes)
Spurs vs Arsenal (BTTS Yes)


Bournemouth vs Chelsea match is worth noting. Chelsea should be able to win but inconsistent performances make me doubt and choosing BTTS is the best choice.
Spurs vs Arsenal, Arsenal should have won but Arsenal current condition is missing important players who are injured such as Odegraad and Declan Rice. So that causes Arsenal performance to not be optimal and can provide unexpected surprises.

It's very lucky for Ten Hag to receive surprising great support from Manchester United but he must know that it won't last long and never last forever.

By trusting him, and giving him more money to fix issues, if he won't succeed in this season, a sack order is waiting for him and already waits for a right time to be executed. If Manchester United continue to give him support at the end of this season with the same or worse results than the last season, there are bigger problems in higher management levels of Manchester United and they'll need to fix these things from roof to bottom.

They need a stable and good form to finish this season in top four, that's it. They don't need good, super form for a few weeks or have some weeks in a second position and have vague hope like they are back strongly and ready for title competition. It's unrealistic, and they must improve quality, performances, rank gradually with time, season by season.

What do you mean? pretty sure you're only watch the first half, here's the second half, you're better watch it https://www.tiktok.com/@d_goals19/video/7408223533639175429

Happy to see Pochettino can back coaching again, although USA is a bad team if we compare with upper rank teams. This is similar like when he manage Chelsea, Chelsea was a bad team and have so many useless players.

I hope USA willing to give few years to Pochettino, trust the process.

Erik Ten Hak is having a pretty serious problem right now and he is facing a team performance problem that is not getting any better.
This season he has added players but there has been no real change and it is still quite difficult for him to develop players to get games best in getting full points.
It is true that only three games have been played and there may be many opportunities for him to evaluate but these two defeats are a problem.

There needs to be a change so that Manchester United can get back to their best form but Erik Ten Hak must be firm with players who often make mistakes.
They must win the next game because if they do it will make them fall further behind in the league.

As a fan of neither clubs, both Chelsea and Manchester United are underperforming. Don’t let one small cup fool you, Manchester United are in the same position as Chelsea. In addition to Sir Alex Ferguson leaving the club, the Glazers have also not been doing too well. As a result, Manchester United have developed a pattern of blaming players. First it was Ronaldo, then Greenwood, Antony, Maguire, Sancho and now Casemiro. In Chelsea’s defense, they had a forced sale and are suffering from the decisions of owners, they could start turning things around if there is a change in ownership. For now, both sides don’t look like they will be contending for the EPL or CL anytime soon unless a drastic change happens.

There are concerns from Arsenal medical team regarding Odegaard injury, he is certain to be unable to play for the next few matches due to the hamstring injury he suffered. As well as missing the game against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, he is also unavailable for Arsenal Champions League opener against Atalanta, then against Manchester City in the EPL and the FA Cup third round against Bolton Wanderers. Odegaard injury has left Arsenal midfield depth somewhat worrying as new signing Mikel Merino has also not been declared ready to play, especially with several important games coming up.

This game is sure to be very exciting, Arsenal who lost points when held to a draw by Brighton in the last game will target a win to keep the distance with Manchester City. Here, Tottenham who have only managed to win once in the last three games will try to take advantage of the home game to get their second win this season. If you look at the current condition of both teams, Arsenal is more favored, but Tottenham also cannot be underestimated because they have always been the dark horse team in the EPL.

Released most of these players to the transfer market and enchanced the club with tactical young players that will be promising for the future of the club. It's not all about making crucial signings for the club. There are phases for the headcoach to comprehend and sort out the challenges faced by the club. Erik Ten Hag might be doing his best from his ends but not enough merits and evidence to put them infront, watched their performance and one can easily spot out the weakness sector. Cristiano Ronaldo made few points about his thoughts following the situation at ManchesterUnited, his former club. We could pick vital points from the club's greatest player of all time. He talked about to rebuild the team which would definitely need the knowledge from the great members of the team.

Nothing surprise from this news. This is because $6 million a year for poch enough to make him the highest paid of USMNT coach ever. Also, they're getting supported by two hedge fund billionaires.

Pochettino certainly becomes most expensive coach of USMNT now. It's very interesting to see how his journey in US will be going on.

I have no big expectation for Pochettino considering he will have unimpressive squad. He must be building it back from the bottom. It seems entering the WC and reach at least quarter final is probably his target.

That is right Erik ten Hag coaching style does not fit Manchester United. When he started he did not play Cristiano Ronaldo much which caused problems. Ten Hag experience at Ajax was different. He made ordinary players into stars. But Manchester United already has many star players. He's using same approach, treating stars like ordinary players. This might be pressuring them and affecting their game. Even good players like Casemiro are making mistakes. I think Ten Hag would be better at team like Chelsea which helps young players grow rather than Manchester United which has many established stars.

My hope is the same, I hope Odegaard doesn't suffer a serious injury and of course I hope Arteta can overcome this in the next match against Tottenham. but in that match I predicted that Arsenal would have the potential to win against Tottenham because I saw that Tottenham's strength would definitely be able to be faced by Arsenal even though many Arsenal players were injured, but there were also injuries to Tottenham players, including Richarlison, Solanke and others and that was the case. which makes me confident that Arsenal will be able to win when the North London derby takes place later. I want to know what you think, whether Tottenham will win or not?

It cannot be denied that Arteta will definitely be confused in the North London derby match and what is certain is that Tottenham will try to win that match because of course with so many injured Arsenal players, Tottenham will certainly take advantage of it and what is certain is that this will be a serious match, but of course Arsenal Even with the as is number of players in the match, if you don't win then it would be a real shame.

Yes, at the end of the 2022-2023 season, there was an incident where Arsenal was confused because several of their players were injured, but of course at that time Arsenal was still lucky because they were able to maintain their performance, which in the end had to accept that at the end of the season they were ranked 2nd and allowed Manchester City to win the EPL title.
Yes, but fortunately, injuries to several Arsenal players occurred at the start of the season, which of course means there is time for Arsenal to improve their team. but I have a feeling that Arsenal will win the next match against Tottenham and it seems like I want to bet on Arsenal winning.

I always remember what many people said about Ten Hag since the first season he arrived at Manchester United. At that time, Ten Hag didn't give Cristiano Ronaldo much playing time at Manchester United. We know that there has been a lot of criticism coming at Ten Hag. And this criticism includes saying that Ten Hag is actually a great coach but he cannot differentiate between how to manage a club that has many star players and a big club that does not have many star players. While at Ajax he coached a big club there, but we know that at Ajax there were not many star players like at Manchester United. But Ajax can be said to be a club that grows ordinary players to become star players. Meanwhile, at Manchester United, we know that this team is no longer a place to grow new potential to become star players, but at Manchester United, it is a club that is already full of star players who just have to make good use of it by the coach. Ten Hag still applies the same coaching style as at the previous club. He equates how to train star players with ordinary players. So the players at Manchester United seem to be under pressure and not playing optimally. Many blunders happened that they usually didn't make in the previous team. Like the latest blunder from Casemiro. even though we know that Casemiro at Real Madrid was an extraordinary player. but when he came to Manchester United we know what Casemiro's game has become. And all of this is most likely because there is a reason that makes this player play like he is uncomfortable there. And I think it's because of their coaches.

To be honest, Ten Hag seems more suited to coaching a team that brings in a lot of potential young players like Chelsea than being the coach of Manchester United which always brings in star players. 

Southampton is the easiest team they can win and such winning will not prove anything regarding their form. Southampton have not been doing so great this season, probably they are still confused as a newly promoted team. I expected more from them than I'm seeing, maybe the will improve with time because the premiership is really a new environment for them. So far they have not won any match and I don't think they will start from Man Utd. If they win Man Utd, I don't think the management will take it easy on the coach as that could be the red line.

At this very time, it is even risky for Manchester United coach to face any team in the English Premier League. It will be better if he should face a very strong team such that if he loses, people we understand that he played a strong side. With the inconsistent nature of his team, it is possible that you can lose against Southampton and if that happens there will be no excuse for him to cover up his weakness.

This is the more reason he should be very careful with Southampton and do everything possible to convincingly win the match and secure his job as the head coach of Manchester United team.

Manchester United winning Southampton should not mean that their form is back on track and they are now performing better. Southampton is a club that Manchester United should be winning even in their bad form therefore they do not need to be top of their game to win this match. If they lose then something has to be done because it will be looking like the manager does not know what he is doing. The clubs Manchester united are losing against starting from the end of last season, are more of small clubs and this is what is causing panic among everybody at the club because the club is turning into a shadow of its old self and it should not be that way because Manchester United has a history of competing at the top level and not what is currently happened at the club

There is no doubt about what you pointed out concerning the different ways coaches handle their players and the case of Ten hag and Ronaldo took a different level as both parties failed to understand each other very well. I believe Ten hag initially had the ability to bring a positive change in the team as he team when he newly joined the team but right now after United finished among the top3 he has not achieved that result again this means that Ten hag has lost the right track to make the job easier for him but for what is been seen in the team right now I don't think Ten hag has what it takes rise rhe United tean again.

I can agree with you that should Eric Ten Hag goes on to have a dismal season like that of last season due to the position on the league table then I think he might be shown the door. But what I will not agree with you is the fact you said he makes players worse I will say that is a lie and a false statement if you ask me. First of all Rashford who mentioned had the best season of his entire career playing under Eric Ten Hag on his first season with almost 40+ goals contribution and the next season which was last season Rashford was below par and still until now the manager keeps trusting him so I don’t understand how he made him worse.

As for Ronaldo and De Gea it is complicated issue, it was the right time to actually get a new goalkeeper ahead of De Gea and he did. Onana before coming to Manchester United that season was one for Europe best goalkeepers, went to the UCL final and even made the Balon D’Or Yashin list for the best goalkeeper of the year. His transfer hasn’t worked out doesn’t mean Erik Ten Hag signed someone who wasn’t proven, De gea on the other had is issues with the board due to his contract and he was allowed to leave. The departure of Ronaldo also wasn’t entirely his fault Ronaldo gave an interview that provoked the Manchester United board and they terminated the contract.

The manger beef was there but immediately he had that an interview the club couldn’t keep him anymore which wasn’t surprising considering what he said in the interview

I have this feeling that the injuries on both side won't really affect the performance of either of these teams but on the other side I'm looking at how Arsenal are going to handle their squad without one of their very best and we all know how the Gunners are not good at handling a man down (as in a red card) and shortage of players including their best, they don't perform well when some of their key players are not present so let's see how they manage.
I must recommend Tottenham this season, the way they start the season is quite different from last season's even if they lost a game it's still better and they have that positive energy in their squad but I'd like to see more of Solanke in the team because they have been playing without a natural number 9 for a very long time since Kane left so is time they enjoy that privilege playing with the new attacker Solanke. If you're to go for any team to win I'd prefer Arsenal because they won't like to lose after the Brighton 1-1 draw.
