I’m not going to start proclaiming we’ll definitely beat Brentford but just put it this way, I will be very disappointed if Liverpool fail to beat Brentford. I know they’ve started the season well but we are LFC, we mean business this season.

Tuchel changed tactics, used players more effectively and brought confidence back to them. He improved Chelsea a lot after one year in Stamford Bridge. This season can be a promising one for him and Chelsea. The win days ago against Tottenham shows two fact: Tottenham can not compete for title and Kane was right in the summer. Chelsea will be one of best candidates in Premier League 2021 - 2022.

One of the things under Lampard was that he in order to trying discipline his players didn't used his players in which he wasn't in good terms with for example like Alonso, Rudiger and watch them now how good they perform defensively. Yeah Tuchel also did change tactics but it was a bit of attitude that actually take previous manager out. Right now Tuchel is doing great job and with the addition of a perfect finisher things has gone very easy for Blues and I think they should at least make it into top 3 (worst case scenario).

I believe Tuchel can bring Chelsea to 3rd place maybe that's what you think is the worst case scenario but this could be the leader of the table if Tuchel does his perfect tactics after changing tactics from before, but I think Tuchel's discipline made a big impact on the team and his players this clearly indicates that Tuchel's quality in the EPL is very influential and this is indeed coupled with Pep Guardiola.
But I think Chelsea can win titles this season with Tuchel.

At least that wasn't a direct declaration hehe. Brentford is like a team injected with some boosting drugs right now but LFC knows how to get the job done.

LFC + BTTS sounds about right.

Is there an open line for the longest unbeaten streak in the Premier League this season? That would be fun for sure since there are still three teams to choose from after five games.

Things are all positive for Reds. Brentford confidence would be on another level but don't forget that right hand side of Liverpool is very very strong. I kinda miss Elliot on the right hand side after his horrible injury but let's not forget Salah and Arnold have been a deadly duo on the right hand side and well rest of the team are performing as well. BTW Salah is on 99th goal for the Reds so very sure he is gonna score one. It would be fun one to watch.

What a disappointing score in Old Trafford. I think this is a sign that it's time for Ole gunner to leave. His tactics are not working and the red devils are too big a club for his experiments. He should just leave!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since Chelsea was managed by Thomas Tuchel, it was clear that Tuchel brought big changes that were fast at that time and even, when the 2021/2022 season took place, Tuchel's magic did not disappear and instead became more and more. Chelsea won away yesterday against Tottenham and tomorrow, Chelsea will play host against Manchester City, those factors will certainly make Chelsea even more dangerous I'm sure. But even so, it looks like the match will still be tough and even though it's only won by one goal I don't think it's the worst thing. Because usually, when big teams fight there will be only a few goals, of course, even if they only win by one goal, it is a worthy score in this match.

Tuchel wasn't always that great neither, he was a bit lucky if you ask me. Considering his time started with Mainz much like Klopp, dude went on to manage Dortmund.. like Klopp and then managed PSG which at the time was filled with stars and yes he took them to finals at UCL and won league titles but that wasn't a shock at all, they had that team. Now he is in Chelsea and let's see what he will do with it, he already won UCL which is awesome for him, but I do not think that he is as good as people make him out to be. Dude is an alright manager, I mean surely deserving of a good team, but people talk about him like he is the best manager they have seen.

Pep is the best I have seen back in the day, nowadays he is doing awesome with City in premier league but not so much at UCL, Klopp is the best ever at bringing most out of a team that spends as little as possible. Tuchel would be maybe 3rd or 4th best manager just in premier league, barely top 10 all around the world for me.

I don't think that he should ever need to leave the team now. The reason why is that it was just an EFL Cup game. It is not an important cup for teams like Manchester United and you can understand this by seeing a reserve squad in the game. Solskjaer didn't prefer the full lineup as he did in the league games. And Manchester United are going to play a league game in only 3 days too. I don't think that most of the fans are very unhappy with the result also. If they got this score in an FA Cup game, then I would talk completely different about it.

Brentford is one of best promoting team for this season, and they are playing very good but still they have to be extraordinary against Liverpool if they want to have something good from this match because in last three matches on road Liverpool doing something very good like 0-3 against Norwich and same result against Leeds, so I am feeling they have still very few chances, but Liverpool attack is very lethal at the moment which is not going to give any fair chance to this new promoted side for staying on top.

Ole isn't doing well in Manchester United. Fans of other clubs are using Ole to mock us. We know what's best for our club. Ole should resign

Mate, they are at the 15th place now.    They have got 5 draws and 1 loss so far (no win). And Manchester City demolished them by 5-2 in the last season. They are not very tough opponent for City honestly. We don't see the old Southampton anymore. They are weaker than the past years now. But of course I would like to seem them getting stronger in time.

Exactly, southampton not strong enough to be on the middle, If we look back in a few seasons, Southampton being able to stay in the EPL is already a good achievement. Because, since the 2017-18 season, Southampton's best position was when they ended up in 11th position in 2019-20, besides that, they were consistently in 15-17 positions.

Even so, southampton is still a strong team in my opinion, so far southampton has always been able to make it difficult for the big teams in the league and the proof is that they were able to draw against manchester united and also manchester city in the 5th week of the english league this season, besides southampton is one a football club that has produced many star players in the English league such as gareth bale, chamberlain and adam lallana and that is actually the factor that has weakened Southampton so far, because they are not able to continue to maintain their best players every season.

I think that Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana have never been star players. They have always been just decent players. Lallana was performing good at Southampton but he was nothing after leaving the team. But I agree with you on the Bale example. However, Southampton were much better than this in the past. Something happened and they are struggling really much from now on.

There's a difference between what the fans want and what the men at the board want. There is more politics to what we see at the front-end. It is obvious that Ole is not the right man for the job. But they will be doing Man U old boy, Legend and miss out everything.
That is how Chelsea was doing with Lampard, I think everyone can see the difference with the emergence of Tuchel. Do you even think with Ole's inconsistent decisions, Manchester United can contest for Epl?

This isn't a new thing though. Even Man Utd fans have called for Ole's resignation one too many times but it just seems like the owners of the club are comfortable and happy with Ole being the manager. While Ole is not a 100% bad coach, it's just that he makes a lot of terrible decisions that end up hampering the team. Given the kinda squad that Man Utd has, no one would really be expecting you guys to be struggling at almost all matches.

With Man United's defeat in the Champions League against Young Boys, Man United supporters were annoyed. Now that Man United have lost to
West Ham in the EFL Cup, I can understand how the Man United supporters were disappointed with the result of the game. But I agree with you
that the EFL Cup is not an important target for a team as big as Man United, therefore the players that are played are only reserve players.
So Man United's defeat in the EFL Cup won't get Solskjaer fired. Moreover, Man United's performance in the Premier League is quite good.
To be honest, since the beginning of Man United appointing Solskjaer as coach I have doubts,  a team as big as Man United deserves to have
a much more experienced coach. Moreover, we can also see what happened to Lampard and Arteta who failed to make their team play well.

It is not an important cup for teams like Manchester United and you can understand this by seeing a reserve squad in the game.

Why do you seem to underestimate EFL Cup? It is surely an important competition, no team should consider it is an unnecessary title to win. I am sure if Man United management targets to win this EFL title as well. If Ole put many reserve players today, doesn't mean they are not serious to win it. The coach must be wise to give all players enough time to play. Because of EFL CUP title isn't the main target, reserve players deserve to give more chances to play.

I don't think that most of the fans are very unhappy with the result also.

If you are a real fan, you must be disappointed. You must expect that Man United can win easily against a weaker team. Also, the loss today makes fans a bit afraid about the performance of Man United in the next matches. Moreover, there is no Ronaldo and Pogba on the squad today. I think they can play as substitution players if the starting players are difficult to score.

After three seasons, Ole can not build up belief in the club. He brings the club from confident to uncertain times and with this, Manchester United will not be able to beat Manchester City or Chelsea in Premier League.

The transfer of Ronaldo brings more hope but if Ole won't change and improve himself, it is impossible for Manchester United to win the league.

It seems Sancho is not used well by Ole too. Cavani now becomes unimportant player because the appearance of Ronaldo. Ole is wasting good players on bench.

I don't agree if it was because of Ole, I still remember very well how broken Man United was before being coached by Ole and after Ole coached the fact Man United can return to the championship track even though they are only top competitors. But for me that's enough and Man United looks better than other competitors so far, like Tottenham and even Man City if you look at the points taken so far. It's still early days and I'm very sure Man United with the current squad will be able to perform better and consistently than the previous season, but when it comes to winning the title it's obviously a tough matter.

For a football team, they definitely have a priority target and whichever takes precedence but every trophy will mean a lot for them. Man United has faced West Ham 2 times in consecutive times, and they can only win narrowly when they visit West Ham in the Premier League but they should be able to win again in the Carabao Cup because the match was held at Old Trafford. Moreover, it's not just Man United who plays with reserves because West Ham also plays with their reserves.

Ole may occasionally make terrible decisions, but he’s not a bad coach. Manchester United lost the Champions League match, perhaps because of Ole's decision. But Lingard's goal in the very next match gave Manchester United 3 points against West Ham. The season has not started very long ago. Ole is trying to make the team stronger. If he gets the time, maybe he can make the Manchester United team stronger.

Its all about priority, using reserve players means that this competition is not the main priority of Man United. It is important competition, but for different purpose as what you said "to give reserve players more chances to play".

Do you think that if Ole leaves then Man United will be much more better? There is no guarantee, do you remember how long Alex Ferguson need to struggle before Man United achieved their best moment? It is reasonable if fans want to see their lovely team win in all matches, but real fans should also understand that there is no instant achievement.

How long has Ole been the manger of Manchester United and what has he achieved? How many seasons have they finished in the top 4 under Ole's management? It doesn't look like it is going to get better if you ask me? Ole leaving is the first step in the right direction.
