I do nothing that Manchester United will have much difficulty winning Crystal Palace in their next meeting. I say you always say, what is you play does not necessarily translate into winning. What gives you the winning you desire is the perception of your opponent against you. If you lose confidence and your opponent feel that they can be able to beat you l, you will surely have problem in the match. But if you have beaten some other persons and your opponents approach you with some iota of fear, you will have an advantage to win that match.

This is exactly the situation of Manchester United. Because they have won against Southampton and also won against Barnsley, irrespective that those two clubs are not big clubs. They have gathered some kind of confidence and then induced fear in their opponent which will give them an edge to win the match against Crystal Palace.

Out of the four English Premier League clubs that qualified to play in the UEFA Champions League competition this season, three have played their first games while Arsenal who happens to be the remaining team to kick off their European campaign will play on Thursday night.
Liverpool and Aston Villa played away but were able to grab convincing wins in their games while Manchester City couldn't find the back of the net despite playing at home against Italian Serie A champions Inter Milan. So far, i think it'll be very difficult to predict who's gonna win the do better among them but I have no doubt that Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will go far in the competition.

The next opponent that Manchester United will face is Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, and it could be a tough game for Manchester United. But if the Manchester United players still have more motivation and tactics that can make them win again this weekend, of course they can do their best because in the previous two games the Manchester United players must have found new ways to use in the next game, especially when facing Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

You are mixing things up a little here because Barnsley and Burnley are two different teams and it was Barnsley that Manchester United humiliated yesternight in the cup match. I don't see Manchester winning a lower division team like Barnsley as a big deal and never prove that United have magically improved and will therefore confront any big EPL side with confidence. They still have a lot of work to do because the team is absolutely struggling at the moment and will easily show their weakness when they  face serious team like Arsenal or Liverpool.

I don’t think we can even blame Erik Ten Hag on the departure of this players, if we look so well will see that these players weren’t just sold because they fell out of picking order alone but most of them were sold because the club hierarchy themselves see them as surplus to the club. The Greenwood saga can never be ascribed to Erik Ten Hag, in fact according to many sources the coach had actually been looking towards having the player in his team but the club made the decision of him leaving the club.

Most Manchester United fans will be disappointed with this decision but one thing is Manchester United really made the right decision even though it was a hard one, if greenwood had remained in England I can bet you that he will be subjected to attacks by opposition fans, the way they even get on with racism I think the lad wouldn’t have survived the attack. Now in France and enjoying himself which is the best thing to do.

I think this comments about Anthony are just like away which I think Ten Hag is trying to rally up the player back to his worth, Anthony was shit for throughout last two season with the manager trusting him all this time so it is not a bad idea to give another player a chance, Amad has to me clinch on to that position for now and that’s why Anthony is said to be frustrated which is a good thing because Manchester United seriously needs healthy competitions like this in each position

At least they are able to do their best effort, without wasting a big opportunity, and improve some lines to be better and stronger. Only, will this be consistent for the future? None knows. Especially in the Premier League, because it is a different level.

This is still the beginning of the Champions League match. So maybe still too early to predict, hehe, still difficult to take it.
But what is certain is that the EPL sent 4 clubs, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa. While on matchday 1, Man City could only draw against Inter Milan.

No matter how hard the attacks launched by the Man City players, it seems that they have not been able to penetrate Inter Milan's defense. This is a very tight match. They seem frustrated with the failure of their various attacks. Hopefully the next matches, it'll be much better to win the game.

Indeed, Manchester City remain England’s strong bet in Champions League, not least after the English side clinched the cup this year. But still, even though they have begun with some not very impressive performance, I do not believe it is time to be worried yet. City have a very experienced and well facilitated team and one match does not define a team entire season. Pep Guardiola is also well capable of plotting a come back in the remaining matches in Europe, therefore they will come back strong.
 
 Besides Manchester City, Arsenal, and other English clubs such as Manchester United are also back to the Champions League this season after the season out of this competition. This will be a big test for Arsenal especially so given the tight contest in this competition. It is however very early in the season and I still see English clubs having a good run in this competition given the strength they possess in their domestic league. Their performance in the next few games will be very crucial in deciding whether the champions league trophy will again headline English football this season.

I think Ten Hag will be sacked if Manchester United finish in 6th place this season, even if he can present the Carabao Cup, it will never be enough to balance the expenditure that has been made on buying players. A big win over Bransley is great for the players confidence, we realize that it was a game that was relatively easy to overcome. We will see if Antony and his colleagues can do it again when they play against Crystal Palace in two days forward, and also when they meet Tottenham a week later. Hopefully, this impressive performance can also be realized in the Europa League, when they host Twente in the opening match. There is good news from Mason Mount and Hojlund, both players seem to be able to return soon, and will give Ten Hag more options in determining his starting XI.

For the players which you mentioned above i think we cannot fully blame Ten Hag why them leave Manchester United because Sancho has a conflict with Ten Hag and Greenwood has a scandal which makes Manchester United don't want to used his service again and about Ronaldo i think he came at a wrong time because when he was arrived to Manchester United when the situation about this team is not really good and in the transition period of changing coaches from Ralf Rangnick to Ten Hag

And about Antony actually the factor why Ten Hag want him because previously they both worked together when they played for Ajax so Ten Hag know well Antony and he thought Antony will be showing good performance just like when he playing with Ajax but in fact since joining with Manchester United Antony was unable to in form and obviously he is failed transfer from Ten Hag even last summer there was a rumour Manchester United want to loan him to other clubs but unfortunately not much clubs who really serious want to loan Antony

So far looking at the premiere league teams performance in the champions league, do you think it's possible the champions League will be coming to England by the end of this season?, I know they are just getting started and this is just day one or better put, first fixture for every team participating in the champions League this season, Manchester City happens to be one of the most experienced English team that has a very good consistent appearance at the champions League and to an extent they are like the hope of England to bring the champions League title home and ofcourse in England they have won it the most but seeing they are starting off poorly is supposed to be a thing to bother over or maybe I'm been too forward as my expectations for them in the champions League may be too high but again it's because I believe they have got all it takes. So what are your taughts looking at their performance a d that of other English teams in the champions league so far, tomorrow we will have the gunners show what they have got for the champions League aswell.

When you read the comments about the game from Erik Ten Hag, you'd see that, despite the high goal margin and decent football played last night, he wasn't excited like he just won the Champions League Competition. His words were " I wasn't devastated when we lost to Liverpool, now I won't celebrate with this results, we will see where we finish at the end of the season " Manchester United fans deserves to be happy, they're serial winners and they would want to see that happening immediately.
Well, they'll improve finally, the both games lost are game they even played well and had some improvements. Saying Manchester United will finsh below 4th position in this current premier league campaign is not a wise take. Well, at the end of the season will definitely decide.

hahaha it's appropriate that Manchester United won by a goal difference which I think they are dreaming of doing in the Champions league, even in the Europa league I doubt man United can do that. lol

The 2023/2024 season Manchester United can only reach 8th place in the English premier league standings, 6th place is also still possible for Manchester United but on condition that Ten Hag must improve this squad, Man United has been so bad that when we expect about this squad it becomes doubtful with the performance they show.

I have strong doubts that it's Chelsea's fault or the player himself that the transfer didn't go through. I think it's obvious that Napoli are trying to spoil the player's immediate future because of their conflict, which is the reason why he left the club. If Galatsaray let him leave in the winter it would be great, but I agree it is unlikely. We can only hope he moves to Chelsea at all, he would strengthen them very well indeed

Regardless of whether Burnley is a weak club or not, this is certainly worthy of appreciation because Manchester United is showing an unexpected situation even if Ten Hag's winning record at Manchester United while coaching is one of the biggest wins they have had to date.

With the 7-goal victory they created, of course, this must be used as a spur that they also in the EPL must have this kind of performance.
Honestly, I didn't really expect a big score like this to be obtained by Manchester United even though I knew that they could win but with the 7 goals they got in this match I think it was far from everyone's expectations.

Chelsea could look elsewhere if they fail to sign Osimhen in the upcoming transfer window, but I’m not sure what kind of centre-forward they need. Of course a prolific centre-forward is what they need, so who would really want sign by Chelsea?

Many good players would have a hard time making a decision when Chelsea are interested in them, especially since Chelsea's performance in the last few seasons has been very inconsistent. Chelsea must build trust between the existing players and they must really be able to give their best for the team that feeds them. Jackson is actually good, but he needs to train harder so that he can really be relied on as a center forward.

Yes, the matches are really strong and tough and surely all of them will have a hard time in the match because they are also strong and Manchester is also Manchester, if they were not such a team, it would have been easy for them.  Yes, it is difficult to say who will win because the competition will be tough.  But I'm still with Manchester and impressed with their recent performance.  Arsenal perform is also good and strong but I won't go against them and for me Manchester will beat them too and win the match.  There is no doubt that he is strong, but compared to him Manchester is also and which he is not less than anyone, but in the future it will be known that Arsenal's performance is better than Manchester's.  Yes and for that we have to see when the match is and who will win the match by showing their strength more.

I don't think it will be possible for Chelsea to get Osimhen back to the squad again; they failed to get him during the transfer window, and it was known that they really want him to strengthen their squad, but I don’t really know the main reason why the deal failed. I think Chelsea would have gotten him that time, and they will now be strong enough to compete in the Premier League.

 However, I don’t know what he thinks he will do for Galatasaray though, but I’m very sure he won't; he just joined them this season, and if he really wanted to join Chelsea, he would have done that and accepted the offer, but he didn't, so I think Osimhen will still play for Galatasaray for some time even if he will.Leave I don’t think it will be this season.


Yeah. Manchester United won Barnsley because they are very weak. Manchester United are still yet to show how good they are this season because the two matches they won were against weak teams, as you said, and that is why I haven’t concluded that they are strong this season. However, Burnsley is not a team that Manchester United should lose to; if they do that, I don’t think Manchester United will win any game this season because of how weak Burnsley is. I think United should put in more effort ahead of their tough matches; if not, they will face a hard time this season again.

I also saw in the news the many goals they scored yesterday against Barnsley, it is just as you’ve said, if they can’t win this team, then something must be wrong with them this season. For the last match before this one with Southampton, I won’t say they were that much of a weak team but they really played well to deserve that win. A win is a win though, if they’re not good to some degree, they might still have lost out in the match against Barnsley yesterday. Bravo to them and I hope they continue in this great form.


Penalties are always not a way to determine the strength of a team, however a team without good penalty takers will always miss out on penalty shootout. I have not always wanted a game to go to a penalty shootout because even the team that does not deserve to win in the full match with take the whole glory in the shootout.

While I dislike Erik Ten Hag as much as the next guy, I have to say this dude has something about cups and I do not get how he does that. Manchester United in the league and even at UCL is a terrible season last year and yet they won the FA cup, I think they won this EFL too a year ago right? Well, they did awesome at EFL this time again and to be fair I wouldn't even be shocked if they end up winning this one as well.


I think there is something about ETH that makes him a great cup coach but that's it, at league he is terrible manager and does quite badly but when it comes to cup he makes the team player greatly. I mean this is the same team that fails to beat even relegation level teams during league games and yet somehow got the FA cup away from City on the finals, that makes no sense at all and it would be something quite great if they could end up getting good results and win this one too, would be fun to see them finish like 9th or something but win EFL and FA cup together and finish with two cups lol, that would be funny.

When else would they win such a large amount? LOL
This is indeed unbalanced the Red Devils players are worth a high amount while Barnsley is mostly amateur players so fans do not have big expectations because they already know the result will win.

For me it is still difficult for Erik Ten Hag to compete in the Premier League for 4th place to enter the UCL this is a difficult job, and they still cannot be consistent, especially with the expenditure for 3 seasons which is a large amount but there is no change during the Ten Hag Era.
