I think the big teams prioritise the PL & the CL, it’s difficult to compete & try to win the domestic cups too. Only really Man City have a big enough squad to go for everything.

Manchester City does have a complete army. I believe that Man City in the domestic league is very impressive, but in the Champions League they don't have the mental strength to do it. It has been proven, they are not able to compete in the champions league.

Their team is absolutely complete in all positions.
In my opinion Manchester City lacks of European football culture. If they add this variable to their play style then they are be a challenger for the CL title.

Nemanja Matic has been short of playing at Manchester United this season. Matic stressed that there was no problem with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
MU has played four matches in the English League this season. Matic inhabits the bench a lot, he once became a substitute when Manchester United offset Southampton 1-1.
Matic was reportedly by British media that they were getting hot because they didn't get a chance to play. Although rumored to be leaving Old Trafford, he remained until the transfer window closed.

Be sure, Matic is not one of those who gets angry about everything. If you remember, Mourinho substitutes them even though he came off the bench. they never had a problem because of that. Matic is a professional.

Man United let go of quite a number of players this past transfer window, and they failed to get sufficient replacements in, this could have added to the reason why Matic wasn't allowed to leave the club. They need depth in the squad.

He buys three very important players, it is not Aston Villa to buy 12 players and start the season with players who do not know each other. Transition, it is slow but it can be fine at the end, although it will be painful for the fans.

If you meant upset, then I will add that Manchester United has not fallen that low yet. They are the bookmakers pick in fixtures like that.

City need to understand that to be a great team and to be put on the same level as the top European giants, they need to do much better in the Uefa champions league, either winning the title or making it to the final.

It's also very important for pep Guardiola, I think there are already so many questions being asked.
since leaving Barcelona he has not been able to win the UCL, but have won domestic titles in all the clubs he's coached in since then.He needs to clear the doubts raised against him by winning the UCL title with city.
City are a strong contender again this season, they should make the most of it.

I agree with what you say.
I must admit that the manchester city army was indeed great and that has been proven. They are hard to beat if in the English league, but as you say they are at UCL they are only able to compete in the last 16/8. The rest they do not have the mentality now for UCL.

Klopp's training is tiresome, which is why his team can do almost 60 minutes full of high-press for each match. I think he already learns how to fully utilize his team energy and make sure not to burn them out. Last season is good, and if there's no injury, I think the rotation could be better.

I'd love to see whether Liverpool also wants to win the Carabao cup or not this season. That will make their schedule full of matches.

They’ve missed a couple of penalties in games too which would have gained them more points. I agree, they haven’t been unlucky. They’re a very average team in transition, it’s going to take at least a couple of seasons to shift the dead wood & build a squad capable of challenging. They’ll need a new manager too, not a Norwegian PE teacher Grin

Yes, I agree that they actually have a chance to end the match and get full points, but they waste it.
to improve their performance like when handled with SAF I think it will be difficult, several seasons have passed the results still same,
they play poorly. whether their era is over, or is this part of the transition, I don't care.

There is more to come for Liverpool, and they are going to be overwhelmed with matches and trips as a result of being European Champions. I have seen this kind of thing happen to Real Madrid for the past few years. Players start to feel the fatigue towards the end of the season.

I would agree that Chelsea's team need some time to come over the transition stage, but Manchester United didn't make so many changes.
And the coach was the same from the previous season, so he had already the notion of how the team plays. He know the needs and the weaknesses but still they showed so ppor performance in the beginning of this season.

However Chelsea actually don't have much time either. At least they should be able to get into the top 4 this season. And Man United as you said, they have a poor performance at the beginning of this season.

Both City and Liverpool are very high in confidence and executing their plans in the filed very well then others. The only thing that will make a difference in these two team is the mistakes they make.

The team that will do less mistakes, will lead the point table, that's how I think.

Also squad depth will be a very important factor towards the business end of the season. Manchester City have a very good squad depth and like Mourinho said at the beginning of the season. Manchester City's second could easily also contend for the league title Grin

Other than that, the team that can as well grind and scratch out victories when the time comes, obviously it's not going to be rosy all season long, there would be games that wouldn't end 4+ nil, games that would be decided by the slightest of margins.

The team that would be able to cope during those periods and get those results would definitely be the winners at the end, city look like the ones in that position.

MU and Chelsea were very unlucky in the first 4 matches of the season. but this cannot reflect how they will play in this season. other teams also have the chance to slip like they didn't reap the full results in a row.
yes they are in a transition zone, not many teams are successful in a transition stage like this, adn they still have many chance to catch up to the end of the season.

I don’t think Man U have been unlucky at all, they lost at home to Crystal Palace & drew to 10 man Southampton. They’re just not very good.

Manchester United is known for being a strong team. But unfortunately those last few seasons lost that statement. In 4 matches Manchester United were only able:
win: 1
lost: 1
draw: 2

really a poor performance for Manchester United at the start of this season

You are right. We have not been able to judge them (the team) at the start of the competition which has only been running for 4 weeks. But every point, every game is very illustrious. If you do not get points of course very unfortunate because they will be left further behind from the top of the standings.

MU and Chelsea need to improve and stabilize imo. It's unavoidable as they're more or less in the transition zone.

Arsenal plays better than last season and Spurs also did quite well. Maybe City, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Spurs will be in the top 4 this season.

Yes both Arsenal and Tottenham has improved but unfortunately I still do not see them to give hard time to team like Liverpool and City yet.
