What a horrible start for Onana, to think he was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe last year.

The hype is what has gotten you disappointed so far. Before he moved to Manchester United, there was plenty hype with the news, but what do the fans really want? for him not to concede even with Manchester Uniteds.poor defence? he is not super man. Onana is just a good keeper with extra passing ability which sometimes becomes a problem also for him, a little wrong decision making in his position which is always a critical one can put his team behind.

The opportunity for Onana to keep a clean sheet must be supported by a strong defensive performance because if their defense is weak enough then Onana will experience bad luck in every match. Like what happened in the Arsenal vs Manchester United match where in that match Manchester United's defense was quite bad because several of their defenders were injured which made their defense line not very strong. So that when there is an attack from an opponent they are overwhelmed to block it. I'm sure Onana will be able to make a contribution to keeping the goal from conceding in every match, but he found it difficult to do so in the early matches of this season due to their poor defense this season. I'm sure criticism of him will not be too suitable to be thrown early on because he needs time to do his best like he did with Inter Milan last season.

Manchester United team is performing very well. Last season there were some great problems within the team. However, at the beginning of this season, the team has prepared itself brilliantly.

I don't understand your observations and why you said that Manchester United is playing very well, but to me, as a big club in England and the world playing in this type of form, I will not say that Manchester United is playing well. If Manchester United loses two and wins two games out of the four games they have played,especially loses to its competitors Tottenham and Arsenal, and struggles to win the two games against Wolves and Nottingham Forest, this is to say that Manchester United is not performing well because it is not up to the club standards. Manchester United is a club that needs to fight for the Premier League title and the Champions League, not a club that needs to be fighting for the top four.

and in week 5 Manchester United will host Brighton, and this will be a tough job for Erik Ten Hag because Brighton is not an easy opponent considering their game is quite good, especially in counter attacks and they are also in 6th position in the standings.

Brighton is currently in a good shape, and they always give Manchester United a tough time when they face them, thus Manchester United facing Brighton will undoubtedly not be an easy game for Manchester United. However, given that Manchester United is playing at home, perhaps they will be resilient and find a way to win the game. However, given their current form, I can't say that Manchester United can win the game against Brighton, who have won three of their first four games this season.

No matter how good a goalkeeper is, If the defense of the club is poor, it will affect the goalkeeper because there is no way, he will act as a goalkeeper and a defender all at once. He will only perform the best he can as a goalkeeper and the defense will defend and stop goals from entering the goalpost.

This is the exact issue Manchester United is facing currently. Their defense is already bad and they want Onana to conduct magic in the goalpost so that goals won't enter(Which is impossible).
One of the reasons Onana was signed into Manchester United is because he has modern goalkeeping skills in him, to give long and short passes without fear. Even though he's a quality goalkeeper.

Brentford is one of the teams that has not lost at all so far and to be more precise, they have 1 win and 3 draws. In my opinion, this is a pretty good result and a draw can still result in at least 1 additional point in each match. Even Spurs, who have been very consistent this season, also struggled against Brentford at the start of the EPL match. In terms of players, Bryan Mbeumo is a player to be reckoned with because he has scored 4 goals so far for Brentford and his name is also on par with Erling Haaland and Evan Ferguson on the top scorer.

It is truly an achievement that they have not been defeated so far. Brentford surprised me in this regard, they started the season well. But they have not played against a very good team so far. Considering that they are playing against weak opponents, they will start to lose points in the coming weeks.
I hope they continue like this and surprise me, but I don't know if it would be right to expect too much from this team

I admit that Brentford at the start of this summer had a very good defense even if they couldn't win every game this club tried to use a defensive strategy to get 1 point and I think this is a very good strategy not to lose points so every game even against big clubs Brentford can at least end up drawing to add 1 point and I see this club is building high consistency.
But it not that easy because what you say is true if Brentford has not played against big clubs like Arsenal and Manchstr United or at least against Newcastle or Liverpool and if Brentford is able to survive without defeat against big clubs I can confirm that this club is a little more consistent this season and trying to chase the best place in the standings.

Brentford was playing against a weak team and the teams they were playing against them were not strong and they didn't have strong attacking lines to test their defensive lines seriously, otherwise, there could be another result for this team.
Now in the next game, they have to face Newcastle and there is the game in which they have their team tested.

The biggest problem that has occurred at Manchester United so far is the storm of injuries that has hit their players so that their performance has been quite chaotic at the start of this season. Moreover, there was news that their dressing room was not in a harmonious condition after there was news that Sancho and Erik had an argument on social media. Onana was not the cause of Manchester United defeat at the start of this season, but at least the picture of their game began to be in doubt at the start of this season.

I think De Gea can still be relied on by Manchester United this season but they didn't give him a contract extension which meant he had to leave the club he loves so much. For this season, I think Manchester United will find it difficult to compete with teams that have made better progress than them, such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

I agree with your opinion about the reason behind the supposed disappointment from Manchester United fans in their new goalkeeper Andre Onana. After the media hype of how good of a goalkeeper that he is, Manchester United fans had thought that the Cameroon international will be saving almost every shot he'll be facing this season but doesn't know that football doesn't that way.
The Manchester United defense is totally nothing to write home about and that has caused them the numerous goals they've conceded this season. So the earlier the defense of Manchester United steps up their game  the better for everyone at the club

[cytpoway121]

Jadon Sancho trending because Erik Ten Hag made few statements concerning his incompetence action in league games, that's solely the beginning of the englishman frustration, Sancho didn't hang up there, rather he restated the fact that he tried his best to suit in the starting XI of Erik Ten Hag but it seems impossible for him, assuming th system is not favorable for him. Erik Ten Hag making crucial mistakes in Old Trafford which will definitely bounce back to the managerial functions in the club. We know how strictly discipline the coach is and he has no rooms for relenting efforts, always keeping his eyes on the brighter sides.
 

I support the player because he is the right one; the guy Sancho took a break last year to look after his health and then the coach illegally announced that he went off to care for his Mental health; Sancho returned from his break and never got 5 straight starts. When Sancho plays, he plays 7 on Wednesday, 8 on Sunday, 11 next match day; then the 10 role; then the false 9 role; all within a month, with Werghost continuing to start despite awful performances, going to the press to lie about training fitness when Martial starts after returning from 3 month injury is very embarrassing.

I am very pleased Sancho spoke out; not every footballer can be Maguire that tolerated every insults

There is little to nothing that the goal keeper can do when the defense is poor the Manchester United 18 line was left losed all throughout the game and that give the opponent the chance to make source forceful goals attempt to the foal keeper who was helpless at that point.

So not matter how good the Manchester United goalkeeper is,  he will definitely not be able to stand the shots from an unchallenged striker since the Man U defences were already broken.

I was not expecting to see a player like Harry Kane talking like this about his last team Tottenham while he was playing there for years and they knew him as a legend in Tottenham, but after Kane joined Bayer Munich he totally changed his mind about Tottenham and whole Premier League.
He said in Tottenham it doesn't matter even if you lose some games because you didn't lose a lot there, but in a team like Bayern Munich they always want you to win and even if you wi bad results the players are unhappy.
I was not expecting to see Harry Kane saying these about Tottenham at all.

Brentford was playing against a weak team and the teams they were playing against them were not strong and they didn't have strong attacking lines to test their defensive lines seriously, otherwise, there could be another result for this team.
Now in the next game, they have to face Newcastle and there is the game in which they have their team tested.

The time for brentford to farm the points are almost coming to its end. The club will face newcastle and then there will be many hard games to come after that match. The mentality will be fully tested once brentford will face strong teams in a row.
I saw that from the schedule if november and december will have become the hardest time for brentford. The hardest time for Brentford will test the stamina of its players.
Newcstle's performance has been plunging so hard but brentford needs to anticipate it as well. I meant look at how newcastle can still give tough game against some top clubs in EPL.

Brentford potentially stuck in the same place at the end of this year.

Yes, Brentford has always been known for their strong defense since their arrival in the Premier League from the Championship, and I can see that they have been able to maintain that. Brentford have been a big challenge to big teams in the Premier League because of their strong defensive line and long counterattacking strategy. It is always hard for big teams to defeat Brentford, and if any team manages to defeat Brentford, it will never be with margin goals. In short, since Brentford were promoted to the Premier League in 2021, Brentford have been able to set records as the top of big teams in the Premier League competition by defeating almost all the big teams in the competition, in fact, they defeated Manchester City home and away last season. And I am also expecting much from them this season again.

When it comes to a defensive games Brentford are very good at it even before now, last season I could remember how they were so dangerous to Manchester City in several games. Brentford don't normally score much goals in their games but it always tough for big teams to have advantage over them. This season Brentford haven't change their pattern of defensive game and it seems they will be more dangerous in their games this season, and from the few games they have played for the season it shows the picture of how their games will be this season.

Onana is just a good keeper with extra passing ability which sometimes becomes a problem also for him, a little wrong decision making in his position which is always a critical one can put his team behind.

Man United's goal was conceded a lot by opponents at the start of this season but we can't blame this on Andre Onana who is the new goalkeeper for Man United. Because it is precisely the poor back line that means the opponent always has a fairly easy chance to score a goal against Man United. I'm not defending Onana but I hope everyone can see that the fault lies not only with the goalkeeper. But there are also those in the back and middle lines which are always too easy for the opponent to penetrate. But if I compare De Gea and Onana then I feel that these two goalkeepers are equally good. And to be honest, I prefer De Gea in his goal-saving decision making. But in terms of fitness, Onana is much more hopeful. The point is that there are advantages and disadvantages to both.

Well, the reality and truth is something that hurts and i am excited that Harry Kane leveled up to a top team that appreciates talent and also works hard for the top trophies and tournaments. Levy of spurs refused to spend to support Pochetino back then after a champions league final loss; and the team has been fluctuating ever since then. Good wages is not enough; having something to challenge for etc is more important.

Glad that Harry Kane has experienced elite demands in the Bundesliga.

I think he was quite frustrated with Tottenham because he defended Tottenham for a long time but couldn't win a prestigious trophy in his career, so he said words like that. Since he left Tottenham I think he is quite happy in his new team. Even Tottenham seem to have lost the best goal machine they have for the upcoming season.

But as far as that goes, Harry Kane definitely wants to win prestigious trophies in his career and he is lucky to join the Bayern Munich team because he can easily win lots of trophies with Bayern Munich this season or the next season. Even Tottenham game didn't have a bad impact after he left for Bayern Munich because Tottenham was able to get off to a good start this season by recording 3 consecutive wins and 1 draw.

What's wrong in these words? In Premier League nobody expect Spurs to win the title. In Germany things are different. Even though Bayern won the title 11 years in a row, people still expect them to be the champions every year. Spurs lose to Brighton wouldn't be talked too much but Bayern to lose Mainz for example would be in headlines. Imagine Kane to miss a penalty or one-on-one position in that Mainz game. He should feel the pressure more, Bayern is very different than Tottenham.

Kane was on the most valuable club in bundesliga which has been winning the title for more than 1 decade in a row. Nothing wrong with that those words. Many bayern fans are always wanna seeing their favorite clubs to win the bundesliga even longer.
It's very different with totenham which was playing in one of most competitive league and that club never ever won a single trophy. What can you expect from kane play even longer in totenham?

You can only expect nothing as spurs will never ever win the title. The competition is too harsh for totenham even to win a good trophy.

Kane was only able getting audy trophy from whole of his career at totenham. It's not looking good for him. Kane was not also feeling disappointed by joining in bayern.

I think that you are aware about that.

A lost more is expected from you when you're at the top, what I'm trying to say Is that much is expected from him now he's at Bayern Munich than when he was at Tottenham, he could choose to perform well or not but it won't affect the team much because they've not have a good record of winning trophies or much experience in a major competition.
 But at Bayern be needs to be at his very best and try to make every match count by scoring a goal because that's what the team bought him for to help strengthen the team as well as maintaining the good record they've had and also creating new ones by winning more trophies, he's playing for a more competitive team than Tottenham currently and over here he stands a better chance of winning trophies that suit a player of his profile not just the audy Cup and asides that the only record he might had got if he remained at Tottenham would be breaking that of Alan Shearer to be the highest goal scorer in EPL.

Are you serious on this? You never expected a man who has been hiding his shame for too long, a guy who has been trying to say something but couldn't, a fantastic player who played week in week out scoring remarkable goals with no trophy to show for it, you expect him to keep quiet when he sees happiness, joy and satisfaction?
You expect him to not express himself or he shouldn't say the truth no matter what?
Tell me what Tottenham Hotspur has given to him that he can boost around with, highest go scorer and finish below to 6?
To me he has to say it because he has gotten what he has been missing for so many years and if you read carefully on that statement of his, is like he has been in bondage and now he's free and I'm so happy he can get something like a trophy to his name with him banging as much goals that he could in the future.

Tottenham Hotspur were not lucky enough to have this player in the club, he's crucial and have good positioning attacker, the only problem was the club been outdated in league games. Harry Kane have a new pending record to rewrite in Allianz Arena this season, we just have to be patient. Moreover he did have his best years at Tottenham Hotspur were he was the highest goal scorer for the club. All that in the past now, riding along facing the present. Bayern Munich are favorites every single year to lift the Bundesliga title, it's their birthright because they earned all of it. Signing Harry Kane was not a mistake for the Bavarians, they only needed to boost their performance when it comes to goal scoring, and been more versatile infront of goals.

[rendravolt]

Brighton is currently in a good shape, and they always give Manchester United a tough time when they face them, thus Manchester United facing Brighton will undoubtedly not be an easy game for Manchester United. However, given that Manchester United is playing at home, perhaps they will be resilient and find a way to win the game. However, given their current form, I can't say that Manchester United can win the game against Brighton, who have won three of their first four games this season.

Old Trafford is often famous for its awesomeness and I think this time that nickname will disappear when Manchester United have to host Brighton in the match of week 5. This is not to belittle a team like Manchester United, but in fact up to now they have had great difficulty maintaining their consistency. In last season's meetings, whether home or away, Manchester United never won against Brighton. I think it's clear who the winner is this time and it's likely the score will come back with a narrow win for Brighton.
