It seems regardless of the good or bad performance of Ten Hag in Manchester United he is having hard days with the fans of this team because they think Ten Hag doesn't have good relationships with many players in this team and Jadon Sancho was one example of of the players who had a bad relationship with Ten Hag and that's why he had to leave the team while he as good player for Manchester United who could help this team to get better results.
Now it's about Antony. Ten Hag said Antony doesn't show hard work in pieces of training and that's what Ten Hag also said about Sancho in the last season.

Personally, I still can't tell if Chelsea's performance has improved. Chelsea lost the first match against Manchester City. And Chelsea not winning against City was the expected result. Moreover, in the next match, Chelsea won against Wolves by a huge margin of 6-2. I would say Chelsea team could have performed a bit better against Crystal Palace. Chelsea drew the match 1-1 against Crystal Palace. Chelsea had a chance to win the match.

Chelsea's main weakness last season was not their attack. Chelsea's main weakness last season was their defence. The team's performance was erratic due to the weakness of the defense. Chelsea conceded 63 goals in 38 matches. And Chelsea are unlikely to improve their defense this season either. Chelsea have conceded 5 goals in 4 matches. If Chelsea want to finish in the top four of the table, Chelsea's defenders will definitely need to perform better. I don't see any alternative.

Aside from Arsenal, I don't think any team in the Premier League might endure the pressure of Manchester City. Chelsea lost their first home game against Manchester City, but we weren't disappointed because we didn't expect them to beat Manchester City; my prediction for that game against City was that Chelsea would lose or be lucky to draw, Chelsea just lost one game this season, and I believe that the results this season show that Chelsea is doing better than last season. At the start of the previous two seasons, no name familiar with Chelsea appeared among the top ten teams in the Premier League.

However, I believe you forget how bad Chelsea's performance was last season when Wolves defeated them both at home and away. This season, Chelsea performance seems to be different, as they defeated Wolves in an away match by plenty of goals, I can't say Chelsea is weak this season since it's too early, and they're currently greater than some Premier League teams, unlike Manchester United, who has lost two games this season.

Yep. This was Manchester United's best performance since Erik Ten Hag took charge of United. I enjoy soccer and most importantly, big scores.
We know Barnsley is a weak side, but United need games like this for the players to build their confidence and also give the youngsters some much-needed time. And Casa needed this game as well.
We can see how confident Marcus is since his goal last week.
Let's pray and see how United does against Palace in the next game.
That is still not enough for the development of the Manchester United team because Ten Hag still needs more wins in the Premier League although it is also not wrong if Manchester United is able to focus on the EFL Cup and win a lot over Barnsley yesterday. I was actually a little surprised when I saw the number of scores for the Manchester United vs Barnsley match so I immediately judged that the team was very weak because actually Manchester United this season is still not too strong in the Premier League and still has to make more efforts in order to continue to develop.
We can't measure the strength of a team from just one match, we have to look at it as a whole and it is undeniable that Manchester United's performance this season has not developed from the previous season even though Ten Hag has made many changes. I am actually quite pessimistic about Ten Hag's ability, he has made many changes but there has been no visible progress in the team since Ten Hag's arrival as Manchester United coach so I conclude that the Manchester United team will continue like this without any significant development if they are still coached by Ten Hag.

Chelsea can beat Manchester City but they need to improve their strategy. Chelsea has good players but their coach needs to make their defense.. midfield and attack stronger. Arsenal defense is very strong as seen in their 1-0 win against Tottenham, even when some players were injured. Chelsea can learn from Arsenal defense. Chelsea inconsistency is problem and their coach needs to fix it.
Chelsea coach should study Arsenal defense and use similar Chelsea needs to score goals when they have chances especially in important games. Team mindset and discipline are crucial in big games.
This changes usually takes time and determination and the experience of the manager to make it happen. Does Maresca have that experience and capability to make these changes happen in a short time before the Chelsea management gets frustrated and tired of him. Another important thing is having the right players and right mentality to make it happen. I cannot vouch for Maresca at this early stage of the season. 
They Chelsea have collected 7 points from their 4 games, and this shows Maresca has made quite an impact at the start of this season, all of this will not be easy for them to build because we know Chelsea are under pressure, so I think Maresca is quite good not too bad for him, and we know he has managed to lift Leicester last season and he has shown his ability and I think not only me but Chelsea fans also believe that Maresca will be better than now with Chelsea if the club gives him a full chance like Arsenal did with Arteta and Maresca also needs all of that.

And under Maresca Chelsea play quite open with one-two touches between players and this shows that they are building a mentality with each other in rebuilding their glory and it is not easy so give him a long chance there then I am sure he will show his best for Chelsea.

Congratulations to Manchester United because maybe this match is Manchester United's day which has won with a very satisfying score and I think the fans are happy with the results of their match which has been able to beat Barnsley.

So this one is Ten Hag's biggest win as manager?

If Man United fan are extremely deluded, only then they will make this win a big deal, because otherwise, this is literally JUST Barnsley. But there are positives to take here as a United fan that the tactic allows them to score if they want to. Now they know, if played well they can overcome their shortcomings. The way they played in the game if replicated in a dominant mentality, could bring a lot of good results in the Premier League.


In addition, I appreciate this because it is one of the good achievements that they have done with their hard work. With their quite interesting front line players, because they played quite well and scored goals each.

Manchester United should not relax with this victory because they still have a long journey that they have to go through, besides I think they don't look ready to face other strong Premier League teams. They still have to work hard to improve their performance and ranking, because the victory they have achieved is not the end of their journey.

I think Erik Ten Hag had a lot of the blame pointed at him, which is deserved, but the players do need to step up at games at times. You can coach or teach someone how to do a certain thing, but you can't go out there and do it on their behalf right? That's what it looked like about United recently. The whole club now needs to live up to their name, and stay united during the hardships and comes back strongly for everyone's good.
Look what Ten Hag said, they just gave opportunities to each other to score and boost their confidence. 26-year-old Rashford had a great chance of making hat trick, but he gave a penalty to Antony. Working as a team was the main factor of such kind of success.

Last season Everton was sanctioned but still managed to escape, so when talking about this season where the situation has recovered then I am still optimistic that Everton can fix it. The last 4 matches were very disappointing, they need something that can raise the mentality of their players. The arrival of Sean Dyche has not been entirely promising and if there is no improvement in a positive direction he could be kicked out of coaching. 3 seasons in a row Everton has only been able to escape the relegation zone but can no longer finish in 10th position like the 20/21 season when under Don Carlo Ancelotti.
I think Everton are about to record one of the worse seasons in the premier league history. They struggled in previous seasons too but found a way in the end to survive and remain in the league but this season I am getting a different feeling that they might not be able to escape relegation. Four games already and they have not recored a win or draw which is very very poor for a club that wants to stay in the premier league at the end of this season.

Although almost all their key players were not on the pitch yesterday but apart from the main possession, every other statistics was on their favor but who cares? Statistics don't win matches, it's the result that matters the most. Playing against a poor southampton team who just got promoted newly into the league deserves much better performance than what I watched yesterday. Southampton lost their first four games in the premier League but Everton still lagged behind them. Everton was playing as if they were one man down because they refused to press their opponents and give them much time to romance with the ball. Imagine having a twenty five percent possessions against a newly promoted club? Things aren't getting better for them.

Great players seemed unable to show their maximum performance when they were at Manchester United. But as soon as they went to another club and played for another club, we immediately saw that the Man United players were able to display their maximum performance. And actually it's not just Sancho but that also happens to several other players.
It is undeniable that most of the players from Man United are able to show their best performance when they have left the club. And most of them can really fit in and be optimal with their new club.

Yes, famous players came here and faded away. But we should say they lost their form under coach Erik Ten Hag. Many players have left MU in all forms under coach Erik Ten Hag. Notably, the Dutch coach was criticized by many of his former players. They parted ways with the Old Trafford team with sadness because they could not get along with Ten Hag. First, of course, Cristiano Ronaldo. And second, another obvious fact is Jadon Sancho. And also goalkeeper De Gea.

I don't understand why the MU management is still determined to keep Erik Ten Hag at the club. They need to see a complete transformation of clubs when changing coaches, I compare this to Bayern Munich and Barcelona. I think MU is no longer a place worth choosing for stars or young talents to develop their careers. One thing I just want to say from my heart, Stay away from Erik Ten Hag. And find a way to get out of his control. Grin

Manchester United haven't played a match like this for a long time. It was a morale-boosting match against Barnsley. After scoring 7 goals, Manchester United players can focus better on the league. The important thing for them is the matches in the Premier League. They haven't started the Premier League and they lost two out of four matches. It's time to play better, but I don't think it's possible with this manager.
At least they have revenge from conceded 7 goals by Liverpool although they do it to other teams. Tongue

Anyway it's really funny the players trust Antony to take the penalty, I thought the players will choose Rashford to take it since he already scored the first goal.

Garnacho, Eriksen and Rashford play really well in this match, I guess Ten Hag will put Eriksen as attacking midfielder for the upcoming match because he's not give a big contribution when he was playing in defensive midfield position.

The main reason for Anthony to take the penalty was probably because he doesn't get a lot done otherwise and ten Hag as well as the other players knew that there is nothing to lose. They already took the lead thanks to Rashford's goal and losing against Barnsley at home was essentially impossible. Those games serve as an experimental stage to give players like Anthony a feeling of triumph.

But nobody really thinks that this will turn him into a top striker out of a sudden. He is still not living up to expectations. They didn't even bring him on against Southampton as a substitute. That's saying a lot about his status within the team. I bet that they would have never allowed him to take that penalty against any serious opponent in any serious competition. They barely let him play this season and this was more of a test game than anything else.

Painful enough to know that Manchester United is playing against Barnsley in a week when the best clubs in the world play the Champions League.

And what is interesting is the duet between Garnacho and Rashford, they both became very productive players this time. See this:

Why won't Manchester United humiliate Barnsley, after all the size of Manchester United is bigger than Barnsley in all angles. I just hope that they will replicate this their form when they meet their premier league opponents. I was even surprised to see that Eric Ten Hag used most of his first team squad to play this match. Barnsley is not match for a team like Manchester United and I don't really think it is necessary for Manchester United and their fans to celebrate this win as if they won a premier league team. It's quite unfortunate that Manchester United equals were busy playing in the champions league last night while Manchester United was playing in a league cup. It's a big shame to them. If I were a Manchester United fan I will hide my face in shame, that our rivals are playing champions league football and we are here celebrating winning Barnsley 7:0

Glory To Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
I'm looking forward to this match, because I think this match is quite tough where Manchester City will face two strong teams besides that I still think they can win but maybe there will be difficulties that will occur. The pressure that they will definitely give to their opponents will also occur and I don't doubt they can win.

Arsenal who have a good defense will certainly make it difficult for Manchester City to score goals, but anyway I think they can find a gap to score goals against Arsenal. In addition, Arsenal can also be said to be a team that has strong performance so they are one of the teams that will block Manchester City's development. We'll just have to see how the match goes to see who will win this match.


Now the teams will have a very tight schedule of games, I think that for now this should not affect their results in any way, but over time fatigue will make itself felt. Two such strong opponents for City with a difference of several days is very difficult, and Guardiola will take this into account, first of all it is necessary to think about the players and perhaps Guardiola will make more substitutions, although I see that he does not like to do this, sometimes in important matches he does not even make substitutions.

This match actually not too important for Manchester United so that's why Manchester United were playing with some of their reserved players but surprisingly those players has good contribution today and Manchester United can win with huge scores and about Rashford last season doesn't run well for him because he was displayed poor performance but i can see he can reach to his top performance again now and the records 3 goals from 2 matches is really impressive

Do not forget too about Antony that in Premier league Ten Hag didn't trust him so that's why in the last 4 matches Ten Hag always be putting him into the bench but today he was different and i have to says he performing well too in this match and finally he can scored although the goal is from the penalty but this goal can boosted his morale

About this match in my opinion the duet between Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte is very solid because midfield from Manchester United looks stable and this also make Eriksen can be more focus to playing more attacking so this factor also makes Manchester United can win with big scores

Man City's performance is indeed not in doubt. but we have to see that in the last two seasons, Man City's strongest competitor was Arsenal. it is not impossible that Arsenal will also be a strong competitor for Man City this season. especially since the points difference is not much.
in the match later Man City will definitely be more favored. but I still hope Arteta will give a surprise in the match later as a form that Arsenal is there for the Premier League trophy.
I'm not sure Arsenal will win, but I'm sure there will be resistance that makes the match interesting. Haaland is too scary for all teams in the Premier League.


Yeah I agree with you, from all sides Manchester City is clearly the favorite especially as they are the home team but as you said surprises can come at any time and Arsenal have the ability to do it. We know Manchester City have the ability to score goals and Arsenal have a good defense, even the best in the Premier League well, we can imagine how this match will be on September 22nd. If we check the betting market at Stake.com it is clear that the odds for Manchester City are better at 1.81 while for Arsenal it is 4.5 and on a draw bet 3.75
I think the probability of a draw is not small at all. This match can end in a draw and the odds are really great. I don't understand why they give these odds. Manchester City is very strong but the opponent is Arsenal and they are also strong. If it were me, I would bet on a draw for this match. They gave good odds.
Well in my own perspective, I don't think I the bookmarkers giving arsenal higher odds against Manchester city should be a surprise, because Manchester city are way more superior to arsenal in my own perspective, besides they are at home, which you rightfully said, so I really don't think arsenal can go toe too toe against Manchester city right now that most of their key players are out injured, so I believe that even though arsenal is a very good team they actually don't have what it takes to beat Manchester city in their own backyard, with the kind of form Manchester city is on right now, so on that note I believe that Manchester city will come out victorious in this upcoming encounter between them.

Lastly, I understand the fact that most of us don't know how the bookmarkers operate, we don't know how they fix the odds of most games, but I think I have a clear picture of how they comes about the odds they mostly give out to most teams, so we shouldn't be that surprise that much why Manchester city odd is way more smaller than arsenal odds,  because right now, arsenal team is not as complete right now as Manchester city team which is quite understandable to me.

Of course, there is also this perspective. Injuries can change the entire balance of the team. Arsenal has too many injuries. If we talk about Manchester City, there have not been many injuries and there is Haaland who has scored nine goals in four matches. When you think about it this way, it is a fact that Manchester City has the advantage on paper. However, the opposing team is Arsenal and their technical director is Arteta. He is a name that knows Pep Guardiola very well. If he makes the right analysis and can stop Haaland, I think Arsenal can leave the field with at least a draw. Apart from that, although Manchester City is the favorite, it is a fact that the match is open to any score.

Manchester United managed to show a different dimension when facing Barnsley in the Carabao Cup match, they managed to shave their opponents with a big score after improving the quality of their game. This was a huge win in the Ten Hag era, It's been a long time since I saw MU score this many goals in one game.

The results are pretty good for the EFL, but remember Barnsley is an EFL League One team, the third tier of the United Kingdom football league system. Nicknamed "the Colliers". So this does not show how strong Man United is at the moment. They deserved those 7 goals.

I feel sure fans are looking forward to Man United's game like Sir Alex Ferguson. They miss the fast game and the determination of possession so that they become a club that is quite feared when competing.  Currently, Ten Hag has not been able to make Man United return to the Sir Alex Era.
