Real Madrid without a top striker like Benzema or someone simillar cannot win anything big honesty. Last few games Real Madrid is barely winning the matches in the last minutes and it is just a matter of time when their luck runs out. They need a superstar really soon and a good bench.

If I saw that Onana made many important saves in the match against Bayern Munich, even though he conceded four goals, it was not entirely his fault, Man United's defenders were not strong enough. For me, Onana is better than Ulreich, he doesn't perform optimally and his defender is not strong enough, there are lots of gaps for Bayern Munich players to score goals, Man United's tactics have also been read by Bayern Munich. When attacking, Manchester United players always pass the ball to Rashford, because in Pellistri's pass, Davies guards him. Bayern Munich's goalkeeper was not good and was helped by his defender who played well.

I was also surprised that Bayern Munich still retained Sven Ulreich, rather than giving Yann Sommer a permanent contract. Luckily, Bayern Munich managed to score more goals than Man United so they managed to win. Remember that Sven Ulreich often made mistakes when Neuer was injured.

Onana is not a good goal keeper from all indications,I have watched him carefully this season from the first game he stood in goal for the club,everyone thought he was going to be a perfect replacement for De Gea who left the club,but he is no where near him,infact he is the worst keeper in the premier league now.The whole team played well in  ensuring they came back to equalise the goals that were early scored by Bayern,but Onana's poor performance didn't allow them get the draw they were looking for.They will face Burnley again in their next Premier league game,and I think they will continue suffering because they lack that winning mentality in the team,and that is the most important element needed for any team to do well.

Basically, Real Madrid has great quality players regarding the main players they have but unfortunately, Real Madrid does not have second-tier players who have the same good quality as the main players. Therefore, when the main player is injured, then there is no second Real Madrid player who can make a big contribution to the team in each match. Because anyway, if Vinicius is not injured and can still be played in every Real Madrid match also in the end Real Madrid will be able to achieve good results too. Because anyway, even though at this moment Real Madrid cannot play all the main players, but the fact is that Real Madrid at this moment also still managed to achieve good results.

This will be successful recruitment from Real Madrid which has succeeded in building stronger talent for Bellingham because after all Bellingham success at this club has been very good and all of this is driven a very experienced coach and the collaboration between Joselu and Rodrygo who is currently part the scoring machine For Real Madrid, even though they always produce close scores, at least we just want to see Real madrid always win in every match.
I see that the three Real Madrid front player have had a very big influence on Madrid and we can see that even though vincius has not been able to attend the last few match, important role of these three front players is that they are able to carry heavy burden to score in every match and secure point.
Real madrid has had a very stable performance this season even though sometimes looks worrying, but Bellingham was able to try provide surprise win in the final minutes of the match.

The problem with the defense is that some of their players are still in the treatment room like Varane and Shaw who are still recovering but when looking at Onana's performance even if what you say is true, he is still full of doubts.
The first goal from Sane in the match against Bayern was a mistake from Onana who could not hold well after that there was nothing to do because he was too cautious and did not move much when 2 chances from Bayern hit the bar and the last goal from Tel actually he could still be braver but he did not do that.
If things like this continue to happen what is the difference with De Gea in the previous season which was considered bad because Manchester United's problem is still the same problem.

It is easy to plan to win against a team like Bayern Munich with a relatively poor defense but it is difficult to win against Bayern Munich on the field. I understand Manchester United's midfield and strike positions are good enough but why are they not focusing on defence. With the transfer window open, they could have signed a quality defender if they wanted. If we always announce the team by strengthening the attacking line then who cares about the defense. 

Manchester United's defenders once performed well but their ability to perform like before has diminished. 
Although they can win against smaller teams with poor defensive performances, it is difficult to win against big teams like Bayern Munich.

People are always rushing to call him as a flop once he was making some mistakes. Onana was unlucky enough against bayern. His performance is still up and down but judging from poor performance of manchester united was also making him feel unconvinced with the situation in the team. Onana must not become the only guy who should be blamed in city. People are too concentrated on him and they forgot that if the defenders were performing the worst.  
I think that onana's performance will not that bad if the defenders were working properly to defend him but the opposite situation was just happening against bayern.
Onana needs to put more effort in guarding its goal net.

It seems like Manchester United has some big problems in the defense as well. And let's all remember that if the defense of a team is actually not good, the goalkeeper can only do so much to stop the goal. The strikers right now are very ruthless. it is already very hard to stop them. And it becomes a lot harder when there is a deflection or there is a mistake made by the defenders. And I have one question.

Why it seems like almost every player performs well in other clubs, but somehow they are not able to perform well when they come to Manchester United?

This is a time when, as a player, no one should go to Manchester United because nobody knows if that player will perform well in Manchester United or not.

But even if they don't qualify I think it's been a good experience for Union Berlin and they've learned a good lesson so working hard and making the game more interesting for them in this Champions League won't be a problem for Union.
The second match they will face Braga and this is a fifty-fifty for them because both still have a chance for 3 points and indeed looking at the matches in group C for the second match all must be focused on the Napoli match against Madrid.

This is a little difficult it seems especially if you look at their first match if there is no red card that is well utilized then surely they lose 1 point fortunately the red card from Elias Jelert can be maximized well by Galatasaray.
They will travel to Old Trafford in early October. Although Manchester United is a team in pain now but I think in the match they will still be the favorite and this will not be profitable for Galatasaray.

Manchester united problem is not just about the coach let's also keep in mind that some of the players especially the defenders lack proper communication amongst themselves and the chemistry looks very poor amongst them. Although the coach has a greater share of the blame as it could be said some players are played In their wrong positions

The coach also needs tactical improvement at this time as that which he is using at the moment seem not to be yielding results enough to place the team at the position expected of them both in the premier league and the champions league. He also needs to at some point be discreet with informations he share especially with the media as this could have possible effect on him.

Coach replacement as at this time is an almost impossible move because it will take Manchester united almost the whole season to get a better replacement as they may be presently occupied with international or club duties as at this moment, so it will be more ideal working More on improvement with the present coach and at the end of the season if not satisfied with his performance possible replacement could be considered.

Jude was always scoring 1 goal in any matches of la liga. That thin makes him being very phenomenal at his age. He is very young but he has capability to play as attacking midfielder and attacker at the same time.
It makes me feel amazing to see him play. His spirit is also helping the club so much in leaving from the crucial situation like when madrid was almost losing against its opponent right now.
That's why i really appreciate his effort in helping real madrid to win any game caused by bellingham has a dream to make madrid win UCL this season.

That's really a shocking thing to me really, I did not expected Jude to be scoring this many goals, he didn't show that side of his game before he came here and after joining Real, he started to show the world that he could score as well. That's a good thing, because at this point they should just put Jude as their striker and they would still do better than Joselu as well, considering all the players they are lacking, nobody would mind either.

I know that won't happen but it is also not t he craziest thing ever neither, it is definitely something that would be fun to watch if it ever happened, he is already scoring so much and plays upfront so much too, so him playing at striker position wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

For now they can still cover their shortcomings on the front lines with the presence of plyers who have the ability to score goals. But the question is how long will they continue to do that? Surely they can't rely on the player who this season has always been the difference on the pitch, I think by not mentioning his name we already know which player it is.
I'll take it to a situation where this player can't play, surely they will have the same situation as last season when they played without Karim . I hope that at the latest in the transfer market next season they will already have a player who plays in the position they need at the moment.

The absence of a good striker who can replace Benzema's departure is very visible in Real Madrid's playing pattern this season. If you look at the match against Union Berlian, Real Madrid really needs a reliable striker to be able to score lots of goals. In the victory achieved over Union Berlin, Real Madrid had to work hard and only scored a goal at the end of the match. And Real Madrid's victory is clearly due to Real Madrid's experience on the Champions League stage. Real Madrid must immediately find a good striker if they want to compete in La Liga and the Champions League this season because the current strikers have very minimal contribution.

Copenhagen were probably the easiest opponents in the group and Galatasaray drew with them in a home game. If they couldn't beat Copenhagen, then probably Bayern and Manchester United will get three points against Galatasaray. I think that Copenhagen and Galatasaray will not be able to get out of the group.

Before that, Onana also performed poorly in the championship too. In general, when De Hea was not re-signed, although they could have easily extended his contract and made him the second goalkeeper, and Onana would be the main goalkeeper and just now De Hea could play instead of Onana to give him a break and regain confidence, but now it turns out that there is no one to replace Onana and Ten Hag fell into his own trap when he did not sign De Hea. Now Onana is forced to play in any condition, even after a string of defeats and it looks like he might break down soon.

You can see that Ten Hag is not happy with the way Manchester City are playing, but his attempts to change something do not bring results and the defeat in the Champions League only adds to his work. Now Manchester are losing not only at home, but also in international meetings and now you can't say that they were saving the main players or trying to play newcomers.

The Champions League has a very different atmosphere. Manchester United have bad results in the Premier League but in the Champions League they can suddenly turn into a great team. The coaches have an easier job in such matches. Because the players can motivate themselves at this level. I think Erik ten Hag will manage to take Manchester United from this group to the next round. Therefore, his tenure at Manchester United will not be shortened. If they had bad results in this group, I think his tenure at Manchester United would have been jeopardized.


Our theoretical match-ups before this match were that Galatasaray could get 6 points from Copenhagen. But Copenhagen showed that they are not an easy opponent. I still think we can beat them in Copenhagen. I don't know, maybe I'm being too emotional.

We all know how dismal Manchester United has been, but that doesn't mean the new goalkeeper should be an aberration as well, further complicating matters. André Onana, the Manchester United goalkeeper, commits mistakes in games and is punished by conceding goals.  Every time he commits these sorts of mistakes, he apologizes and accepts full responsibility, but United fans are sick and tired of him admitting full responsibility; his most recent blunder was against Bayern Munich. If he wants to achieve an appropriate setting in the squad, he should stop apologizing and start becoming better and boosting his performance.

Previously I also thought that what caused Man United to concede goals so easily was because of their poor defensive line. But after seeing their performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, I think Andre Onana also has responsibility for the goal conceded. He does have pretty good ball control and passing which really supports the team's ball possession but Andre Onana doesn't have reflexes as good as De Gea. So I think Andre Onana's performance has not been able to meet expectations so far.

Erik Ten Hag might delivering good results at the moment for Manchester United but that doesn't make him a very bad manager for the club either. He's got the tactical experience and abilities to turn things around for the English club in nearest future and that's why I think it's too early to be calling for his sack at the moment.
Their performance in their UEFA Champions League game against Bayern Munich wasn't that disappointing even when they weren't able to get a point from that game because it's very rare to see a club who defeats the Bavarians at Allianz Arena.
