The whole Manchester United team has problems in my opinion. I am not saying that they are not showing improvements at all. They are showing some improvement. But the quality of the squad needs to improve a lot for them to actually have good results and consistent results. And it is always going to be easy for people to point fingers towards the person who is making the biggest mistakes in the field. Harry Maguire is definitely not someone who is always making the best touches on the field. He is definitely causing a lot of problems. Now I know that the other players are also making some problems. But the problem is that Harry McGuire is making are more visible to people. So obviously people are going to talk about him a lot.

Maguire has performance problems, while others have external problems. Both have an impact on the team's performance in general, but the solutions will definitely vary. Maguire has been widely derided by Manchester United public for his poor form in defense and sometimes ruining game plans, but that may be easy to resolve as the management only need to make a decision on his contract. If Manchester United didn't need him, then they could sell Maguire, loan him out, or terminate his contract, but the fact is that Maguire is still at Manchester United to this day.

I agree Ten Hag has brought big changes to Manchester United, otherwise they would not have qualified for the Champions League group stages this season. Meanwhile regarding performance, Ten Hag was still unable to maintain or improve his team's performance well at the start of the season, so several strategy adjustments were needed there.

The main problem with the chelsea team is that they have invested heavily in a bunch of average players and thats why it is difficult to get a result. Chelsea has a terrible attack and defense with an excellent midfield. What can a manager achieve with such team? They barely create, they find it hard to score and they cannot even defend their lead. I hope they atleast get a striker that can score goals

That’s not what i think the problem is, the players they brought in are not all average players, they are top stars from their respective teams and we all saw how well they performed in their teams so I wouldn’t say the investment is a bad one. I just think it the coach who is yet to figure out how to utilize them to get results. His tactics from the start of the season has not been good enough that’s why they find it difficult to win against Nottingham Forest who almost relegated last season, he is playing a two man attacking formation which is not enough to win comfortably against any premier team anymore and if he doesn’t change his tactics I don’t think he would have a better result.

Chelsea will travel to Bournemouth in the next week. I expect a better game from them. Despite playing as a guest team, Bournemouth's strength is not better than them. This could be a match that they can take advantage of to get full points at Bournemouth's home field.
1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats is a start that cannot be said to be good for them. Therefore they must win this match, it is important because victory can be something that will be able to lift their morale.

I actually miss the days I used to see a fixture like this and already know that it's a 3 points  match for Chelsea not now that from the way the boys have been playing we might even lose this game if we don't turn up well. Looking at the statistics, Chelsea are favorite as we have won them 3 times in our last 5 encounters but statistics doesn't win games because when that day comes, Chelsea mightn't have what it takes to win the game. We need the point and Pochettino should better use a starting lineup that can win us the game in the first half so the Bournemouth side will be demoralized before coming out for the second half for the game. We haven't started the season well and we need this win.

The issue I currently have with Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino is that I believe the coach should pay close attention to the team and be aware of the players they will be starting a game with because there are some players in Chelsea who don't deserve to start a ball. The reason I say that is because if a team's performance changes, the coach is the one that many people blame excessively, most notably the team's supporters who don't always see a player's fault but always blame on coach for the kind of formation he use.

Pochettino is a top coach, he has coached many top clubs so he isn't new to coaching. I don't understand why he's acting like a new coach. His formation has been poor and that's the main reason we're losing games that we can win easily and that's very frustrating. Pochettino doesn't have any excuse to be performing this poorly because he got everything he needed. He just have to motivate the team so they can play for him and the club. He shouldn't depend on wingbacks to win games as we have enough forward attackers in the team that he can put pressure on to deliver him the victories. He shouldn't be shy of dropping whoever's isn't playing good football so the team can start getting results.

"Innocent until proven guilty", remember the case of Mendy of Manchester City, he was accused of multiple cases of rape by more than one woman, but in the end of it all he was not guilty, but he had already lost 2 years of his career.

I think these footballers should also be protected, too many of these accusations turn out to be false and nobody talks about the extent of the damage done to the player. I am not justifying people who abuse the opposite sex, and i believe if anyone is found guilty of that they should be vigorously dealt with, but what's going to happen and who's going to pay for damages if the accusation is false.

Yes, I agree that footballers should be protected as best as possible from false accusations that point to the accuser's evil plans. Anyone who is truly found guilty has the right to stand trial, but they must also receive compensation if the accusation is ultimately untrue. The defendant may be able to file a defamation lawsuit if the case was never true, but can this be done under the laws that apply there?

These are really unfortunate incidents which happening, but we can't blame Manchester United for this because these are individuals, so things are surely not good for the Manchester United with they are losing quality players due these unfortunate things but good thing they have suitable replacements which can give them good performance in coming matches with what happen to Antony it's not clear because all are in court, and we have to wait for the decision even mostly we have out of court settlements or other deals as well but still things like these having bad impact on players career.

Red Devils surely never wants incidents like these but here anything expecting from them is not applicable because they can't do anything but still they have to be cautious their players as these things can finish their impressive career too early with bad reputation which is never been good.

Manchester United troubles is not unfortunate; it is simply gross incompetence.

Why? The Mason Greenwood saga was poorly managed by Manchester United and it led to a social media brouhaha. Point 2, After Mason Greenwood incident; a competent team would perform private investigations before signing new players; but Manchester United did none of that and went ahead to sign Antony for 100m because Ten Hag vouched for him.

Now, they are forced to follow the Mason Greenwood precedent even though the police have not found the submitted evidence enough to arrest Antony. Which way from here?
I expect mufc players to become more victims of similar circumstances because of their bad leadership.

Chelsea will travel to Bournemouth in the next week. I expect a better game from them. Despite playing as a guest team, Bournemouth's strength is not better than them. This could be a match that they can take advantage of to get full points at Bournemouth's home field.
1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats is a start that cannot be said to be good for them. Therefore they must win this match, it is important because victory can be something that will be able to lift their morale.

I think they will win this match, but rather because their opponent is much weaker than Chelsea, they have two defeats and two draws at the start, not the best game. And in general Bournemouth has not been characterised by a good game, so... If they draw this match, it's a very bad sign for Chelsea, it means that nothing has really changed...

[Josefjix]

In general, for this season, Manchester United needs players to support their own performance this season so they don't have to just throw away existing players. I think Antony should still be retained by Ten Hag even though Ten Hag himself has to make several other players to be better in a line that is no different from Antony.

We watched and experienced tough times at Old Trafford, but hoping everything will get better for the club as time goes on. The players specifically the frontlines having some problematic issues arising, for instance Anthony dropped from the squad due to the allegations levlled against him. We just hope he fall out to be innocent of all the allegations, because if he's guilty, that's the end of his limelight professional football career. Erik Ten Hag have done a great job for Manchester United, his presence have triggered good development for the club.

West Ham vs Manchester City

West Ham have really been on an impressive rise at the start of this season. They were unbeaten in the first 4 matches where they only lost 2 points due to a draw against Bournemouth. David Moyes is responsible for the positive results obtained by West Ham in the last 4 matches, but this weekend he has to accept a tough challenge from defending champions Manchester City.

Manchester City has proven its quality as a team that is truly capable of maintaining consistent performance. They have not dropped a single point in the last 4 matches so people will be fully confident they can beat West Ham in their next away match. I hope the match will be difficult and not many goals will be scored throughout the match, but it all really depends on the team's overall performance.

It is true that West Ham has always been a tough nut to crack for Manchester city; but then they usually scale through by a goal; with impressive recruitment this summer; do you think West Ham can nick all 3 points off from Manchester  city if they keep haaland quiet? I think both teams to score is a considerate bet; with a draw too. What do you think ?

The hammers with the help of Moyes and the newest signing into the club have taken him to the top for the first games. The most inspiring game was against Chelsea and they turned the oddss around to win the game. Winning three goals ahead.
They have achieved some points now it is time to points if they do not focus against City.
Having no KDB they have always struggled bit they will habe to do better with Pep also absent for that match due to surgery.
Manchester City should win to go top.

Both teams can likely be expected to score, but I'm not quite sure about a draw. So far, Manchester City is a team that is very difficult for their opponents to stop, which means they have managed to win 12 points in the last 4 matches. I believe Manchester City has a high probability of winning at West Ham's home ground, but there is still no 100% guarantee for that.

I know De Bruyne is a very important player in Pep Guardiola's squad, but Manchester City have managed to do a good job even since De Bruyne was absent. Phil Foden, Bernardo Silva, Alvarez and Haaland were spectacular in the last match against Fulham, so I don't have many doubts about the possibility of a bad match against West Ham this weekend.

Maybe things won't be exactly the same as Guardiola had planned, but I don't see many problems facing Manchester City in that match. Manchester City's record against West Ham so far is good, meaning Manchester City is the favorite in that match to win.

Chelsea spent a huge amount of money signing players, but the players that they signed are still young and they lack experience. I believe that’s one of the problems that Chelsea is facing currently. Chelsea's performance is not really poor, but they don’t have attacker, which is giving them problems. That’s why they are always finding it difficult to score. In most of their matches, they are always dominating the game, they are always having chances, but they are always finding it difficult to convert most of their opportunities into goals. Pochettino really needs to work on his strikers or he won’t be ending this season in a better position, and Chelsea fans expectations are really high for him.

West Ham only drew their first games of the season, against Bournemouth. Following that match, they won all three subsequent matchups. Their clash with Luton Town is advantageous to them because the team is inexperienced in the Premier League. They performed admirably in their matches against Chelsea and Brighton, earning three points each. I expect them to play better and stand for their own in the league, but their match against Manchester City will be challenging, and I'm already doubting whether they can win or even draw.

Westham may not have been beaten and played very impressively at the start of this season. They also played quite consistently, making a significant difference to their performance last season. It is possible that Westham will score a goal against Man City and the match will be quite tough. But in the end, Man City is also like that, even having won 4 big wins. With a stronger lineup than other teams, with consistency and performance that continues to improve, I think Man City will not let Westham get ahead of them. Even though Westham played well, I still believe that in the future, Man City will still be the winner in this match. Whether with a lot of scores as usual or just a few superior scores, what is certain is that here, Man City does have more advantages in every line.

In the end, everyone will probably doubt West Ham if Manchester City's squad depth is the benchmark. West Ham have had good form so far, but Manchester City are a different team compared to their previous 4 opponents. I don't see Manchester City falling into trouble even without De Bruyne, but they are still a very strong team with the current squad.

Manchester City's victory is clearly not guaranteed at London Stadium, but I believe Manchester City is the team that will win 3 points there. Haaland is still unstoppable, so I will pay attention to him in that match.

I think Manchester City will end up winning West Ham no matter how tough they might claim to be on the day of the match even though it is their home match.
I think that Pep Guardiola not the assistant coach, will be on the pitch that day to coach and direct his team players to win the match after staying off from the club for a month due to back surgery he had at Barcelona.
The match between the both will be another additional 3 points for Manchester City. The scoreline is to be 1 nil or 2-1

Just wanna give appreciation for moyes and his scouting team. Almost all of transfers made by westham gone perfectly. These transfers performed even better compared with newcastle. It can be an excellent test for westham to measure its quality against manchester city.
Westham was able beating brightoin even when playing away for city. My 2 cents, westham may be able to beat or draw against manchester city. I can't even describe how strong westham is right now, but seeing the current lineup of westham made me believe this club will not be easily beaten by manchester city. JWP is a key in westham. His godly assists will help the club a lot. Madison was also performing better than when he was still on leicester. Even paqueta already targeted by manchester city as a new winger.
City is quite superior at this moment and it has a bigger chance to win but i don't underestimate westham at this moment.

Manchester City has proven its quality as a team that is truly capable of maintaining consistent performance. They have not dropped a single point in the last 4 matches so people will be fully confident they can beat West Ham in their next away match. I hope the match will be difficult and not many goals will be scored throughout the match, but it all really depends on the team's overall performance.

Haaland and alvarez have been finding their convincing performance again. Im feeling doubt to pick which team that is likely to winning the game. that's why i prefer to take BTTS instead of picking city.
Westham is also strong right now.

Well I won't blame for thinking city will secure the game because this Manchester city are just something else although west ham themselves are not all that bad but I think they still can't face this Manchester city team. The certainty of the scoreline you presume that I don't know of but am well sure that Manchester city are definitely going to bag the three point but notwithstanding I like to point out that West ham won't score as I think the score line is going to be Manchester city winning by a 2 goal margin with a clean sheet.

[SmartCharpa]

Next week there are two matches that I think we should not miss. Namely the West Ham vs Man City match and the Man Utd vs Brighton match. And between these two matches, I am very curious about the results of the West Ham vs Man City match. Because these two clubs have not experienced defeat at the start of this season. I would not be surprised if Man City is unbeaten so far. But I was very surprised because West Ham were also unbeaten at the start of this season. I don't know how, but I hope there will be a surprise from West Ham in this match. If this were a match last season then of course West Ham would not be able to do much in the match against Man City. But I hope things are different this time.

No matter how courageous West Ham is at this early stage of the season, there is no way they can be able to defeat Manchester City unless Guardiola decides not to use his entire squad in the match. With their performance since last season, Manchester City is unbeaten, unless they can draw the match, but it will be difficult for them to lose against West Ham. We all know how poorly West Ham performed last season, so we can't say that they will be difficult to beat. simply because they are currently performing well.

Manchester United vs Brighton, we all see how Brighton's performance is getting worst, and we aren't expecting them to put out that type of effort. Last season, Brighton's performanced was excellent at the end of the season, when they defeated several clubs. Manchester United is currently losing important players, making it more likely that they won't be able to win the match. It will be a difficult match that nobody expects to miss.

[Uruhara]

In general, for this season, Manchester United needs players to support their own performance this season so they don't have to just throw away existing players. I think Antony should still be retained by Ten Hag even though Ten Hag himself has to make several other players to be better in a line that is no different from Antony.

We watched and experienced tough times at Old Trafford, but hoping everything will get better for the club as time goes on. The players specifically the frontlines having some problematic issues arising, for instance Anthony dropped from the squad due to the allegations levlled against him. We just hope he fall out to be innocent of all the allegations, because if he's guilty, that's the end of his limelight professional football career. Erik Ten Hag have done a great job for Manchester United, his presence have triggered good development for the club.

In fact, it would be better if Antony remained in the squad until the results of the trial came out. Because these accusations have not been proven to be true. So I think it would be better if Antony was dropped from the squad when the accusations made against him have been proven with certainty. Greenwood last year was caught in a similar case. And he was also temporarily removed from the squad after the allegations emerged. Even though at that time the accusation had not yet been proven. And finally the case was closed. But Greenwood still suffered losses because he stopped playing for a long time. And it looks like Antony could be experiencing the same thing. Old Trafford is indeed being tested quite severely. Ten Heg really had to think hard now. Because he has to readjust the squad without Antony.
