Exactly, a coach can't do anything when players get injured, and when they play bad behavior, Ten Hag can't do anything other than manage the bad situation they have.
For example in the case between himself and Sancho, he couldn't do anything other than punish this palyer because he obviously didn't respect the red line is the team.

I think Ten Hag is one of the coaches who is included in the ranks of world class coaches so far. We know he is not yet on the same level as Klopp, Pep Guardiola and many other coaches, but Ten Hag certainly has the qualities that are expected to have a positive impact on Manchester United's game.

Injury factors and the absence of several main players have made Manchester United's performance poor, moreover there are internal problems between players which may have made things worse. Ten Hag has its own decisions and policies in organizing strategies and game plans, but perhaps some of its players don't really care about its instructions and tend to play for themselves. They have sacrificed the team for themselves, this is another factor that must be solved in a team.

[$anounimus$]

Manchester United have lost the rhythm of their current game. There is not much understanding among the team players due to which the team is not doing well. The coach of the team now needs to find something great to make it profitable for the team.

United are in a disadvantageous situation, they are facing a series of obstacles. It is natural that they do not appear consistent, because the system implemented by Ten Hag is not effective. Their first problem was because several of the players that Ten Hag relied on were injured, as were the newcomers they brought in. Previously, Hojlund could not make his debut because he was brought in injured, no different from Amrabat. Apart from that, Antony's problem had quite an impact on United's performance.  plus, the situation is heating up between Ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. There are many problems that Ten Hag must fix, but they are not easy and can be easily handled. However, as head coach Ten Hag is responsible and will fix it.

Now, several injured players have been able to return to the field. Varene, Amrabat, Mason Mount, ready to play again.  At least, now Ten Hag has several options for player choice. In a few hours, United will play their match against Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup. but I'm sure Ten Hag will not play some of his core players. Maybe in this match, he will experiment with his system and give opportunities to several new players like Amrabat and several other players.

The injuries to a number of mainstay players certainly made Ten Hag very worried and as a result, Manchester United were unable to perform well so they had to accept unsatisfactory results, but I don't agree that this is always an excuse for Ten Hag. A manager must of course be able to think of other alternatives if the initial plan fails to be implemented. I see that Manchester United's game is still very individual, to the detriment of the team as a whole. Ten Hag certainly has to identify this, the players' selfishness must be immediately evaluated. Bruno Fernandez and Rashford are still showing that attitude. I really hope that Erik Ten Hag will immediately remove the captain's armband from him because he is not suitable to be a leader on the field.

I didn't see anything wrong with telling the public that he trains well, I think the coach doesn't like him again, that's why he's doing that to him, and the player doesn't want to apologize to the manager, the best thing for him is to leave the club and go back to his former team Dortmund, i think he will enjoy is ball there than staying like that without playing matches, Erik ten Hag want to spoil is carrier is better for him should just go back to is former club, i I believe he will help the club because Dortmund are not in a good position this season, and the manager has even stopped him from associating with his team mates in training, because Erik ten Hag likes Anthony more than Sancho because Sancho was not in good form last season, and now Manchester United are playing poorly.

It's true that Sancho would be better off leaving Old Trafford in January, it's unlikely Ten Hag will use his services this season. Internal conflicts like this actually happen a lot in other big clubs, but in the end the coach is always the more dominant party and benefits. Management will also not tolerate conflicts like this continuing, because to some extent it will affect the atmosphere of the dressing room and the team performance.

Man United is improving itself for the better, although the victory over Burnley cannot be said to be a turning point in its overall performance. Ten Hag has had more internal problems in his second season at Old Trafford, however yesterday three points at least calmed fans anger over his previous poor performance.

In terms of squad quality Chelsea have the better players but with less experience playing in the premier league. The current problem with this Chelsea sode is that most of the players are very young and still lack that level of experience to compete amongst the top teams in the premier league at the moment. The team needs some experienced players to guide and lead this young ones, this is not entirely Pochettino fault.

Chelsea issues is not that the players lack experience, they are just too scared of scoring and they usually feel relaxed when they are leading by a goal, they lack drives and courage to change a game. My reason for this is the fact that you can't say Sterling lacks experience but you see he still lack the finishing even the others like Enzo, Conor, Chilwell and some others. Lastly, we saw how they played Liverpool, though they still lack finishing but their performance was good.

[rendravolt]

Jadon Sancho has deactivated his Instagram account as of today and like us all because of the commotion that Sancho is currently having with his coach Erik Ten Hag. Some reports say that Sancho has been exiled from the main squad and he can only train with Manchester United academy players. But not only that, Sancho was also prohibited from using all the facilities in the main squad team, including he was not allowed to enter the dining room.

I think Erik ten Hag really wants to discipline his problematic players and I think what Erik ten Hag has done is quite right. In fact, if Sancho wants to apologize to Erik ten Hag all the problems will be resolved and if he still doesn't want to apologize then it is certain that he will leave next winter because Erik ten Hag also doesn't want this problem to continue to drag on.

What Erik ten Hag did was indeed quite appropriate for player discipline, but we also have to see that while Erik ten Hag was coaching Manchester United and at Ajax previously he had a lot of problems as a coach with players, not just with Jadon Sancho, I don't mean to defend Sancho, but I think Tenh Hag also has to lower his ego and prioritize the development of the team he handles.
Now that Manchester United is in a very bad state, I think it has quite an impact on the Chemsetry of players and coaches who are not very compatible so that there is no harmony in this squad to carry out all the instructions from Ten Hag by the players.

Maybe his decision so far has been quite controversial and I actually don't fully support Erik Ten Hag's decision, however, if his actions were correct then it should also be followed by the consistency of good results obtained by Manchester United, but in reality it all didn't go smoothly. If we look at Manchester United's current situation, it is very chaotic, from injured players to problematic players and it seems like no one expected something like this, including Erik Ten Hag. Now they are going through a season full of obstacles and dangers that are always lurking behind them and if the Red Devils are not careful, it is possible that they could suffer the same fate as Chelsea.

Pochettino might as well count his days as headcoach of Chelsea because his clock is ticking, the supporters keep echoing and chanting about his sack during games at Stamford Bridge. Losing 1 nil was a dissapointing results for the blues, they never expected a red card for the defendlines. Malo Gusto tackle was probably based on gaining the ball, but with irrelevant raising up his boot towards his opponent, making it everything clear as a deliberate action. Chelsea previous game against Aston Villa, experiencing defeat was not part of the plan, instead they would have settle for a draw tie.

Chelsea today is no longer the Chelsea of ​​old where there were many experienced players who could control the game plan. Currently the Chelsea squad is filled with new players who basically still need adaptation, so it is always normal that many of their plans still fail and fans have to be patient with the process.

I don't expect Pochettino to be fired before finishing the first half of the season. Even though Pochettino also failed, at least Chelsea gave him a chance. Pochettino should have the courage to rotate his strikers or try experimenting with changing the positions of his players, so maybe this will have a good impression on the result of the match.

[Salahmu]

The red card issue actually destabilized the entire game plan for Chelsea, from the replay of that tackle, and if it were to be some referee they might have considered that tackle as not a red card offense but should have been decided as a yellow card offense rather

Chelsea performance this season seem a bit poor there last match against Aston Villa was actually suppose to be a win match for Chelsea but I was surprised how the match ended, sterling had a very good chance to score the goal one on one with the goalkeeper and he just missed the opportunity, they had a lot of good chances to score but non was converted and they got disorganized after the Gusto had the red card so the opportunity came out for Aston Villa to quickly utilize it by dominating Chelsea, with the struggle they had facing the Aston Villa I don't no how is going be on there next match which Gusto will not play due to the red card and he is going to miss a straight two matches.

Chelsea's decline is difficult to understand, although many say they are too young and inexperienced but I don't think that's the right reason. I suspect there are other problems that might cause the Blues' performance to plummet. Conditions in the dressing room or perhaps less harmonious management could be the main cause. There was news in several media that stated that Bruno Saltor and Claude Makalele had also left, maybe there was something wrong even though it didn't come out to the public. I think Boehly must immediately improve the non-technical side so that Chelsea's condition returns to stability.

Pochettino might as well count his days as headcoach of Chelsea because his clock is ticking, the supporters keep echoing and chanting about his sack during games at Stamford Bridge.

I can feel the pain which Chelsea fans are feeling, there expectation was too high on pochettino, there expectations was high on the players pochettino signed, but there is not Changes in there performance,  it’s even getting worst, 5 matches have been played this season, and Chelsea won just 1 match, drew 1 match and loses 3 matches. It really bad for club that just spent huge amount of money signing player’s. I will say pochettino should be given more time, if Chelsea can sack him, they are just adding more problems to the existing problems, he should be given more time, let’s see if he will be able to solve Chelsea current problem with time.

Manchester United have lost the rhythm of their current game. There is not much understanding among the team players due to which the team is not doing well. The coach of the team now needs to find something great to make it profitable for the team.

Manchester United's performance is poor this season, people already lose confidence in Manchester United for now, the defence is just too weak, which is making them concede goals easily in every match, their opponents are always finding it easy to penetrate, and their goalkeeper is performing below what Manchester United fans were expecting, he does concede goals in most of the matches Manchester United have played. I just hope his performance is going to improve with time.

[GiftedMAN]

The red card issue actually destabilized the entire game plan for Chelsea, from the replay of that tackle, and if it were to be some referee they might have considered that tackle as not a red card offense but should have been decided as a yellow card offense rather, the tackle in my opinion was not that intentional as they offender went for the ball first before matching on the opponents leg.  Anyways, performance was bad and Chelsea did have ample opportunity to have gotten a goal but they couldn't utilize any.

I agree with you and I think Pochettino as well knows that with the way things are going with Chelsea he may not longer be incharge of the club if Chelsea don't experience a positive change from now till end of September. Not only the supporters of Chelsea are chanting for him to be sacked but the players also are being fed up playing under him because it seems their performance can't improve under him and I see no confidence in him again as the head coach of Chelsea.

Pouchettino might loose his managerial role at Chelsea due to their poor performance this season after spending much to  put the team back in shape, alot of fans are already complaining anout the incompetency of the manager and sooner or later the board might consider finding a replacement for him, , i feel so bad for Pouchettino already cause he's doing his best to help the team succeed but nothing is working for them currently.

Manchester United have lost the rhythm of their current game. There is not much understanding among the team players due to which the team is not doing well. The coach of the team now needs to find something great to make it profitable for the team.

I belive the gradual recovery of United players woulld help the team get back in form and very soon we'll start seeing Manchester United playing good football again,  Manchester unoted failed to invest on their defence this summer now they're
paying for it because their  present defence keeps making errors that makes them to concede goals

There's alot we're observing about the condition of Chelsew, they're the worst elite club presently in EPL. They have no improvement in league games, just the same old Chelsea last season, with branded new mediocre players. I just hope the clock doesn't hit injury time before the blues are able to stand back on there feet. Mauricio Pochettino have no single experience to manage Chelsea, he's just like the former coach, Graham Potter that demoted the performance of the club from elite to average club, they struggled to score goals and earn points.

Pochettino still has the opportunity to immediately improve his squad. I am very surprised by Chelsea's performance this season even though they have potential young players who of course have high fighting power to win in every match. But what happened, the Blues players seemed to have no motivation to give their best to their fans.

Due to Chelsea's poor results again, Pochettino's position as manager will again be at stake, he may be fired again if he is unable to produce a win. If we refer to the schedule, it will be difficult for Pochettino to bring Chelsea back up. Maybe the Argentine man's only chance will be against Fulham and Burnley, the rest of the time the Blues will face elite EPL teams in a row.

Well, many may not agree but Chelsea performances this season under Pochetinno has not been awful; instead the results have been terrible because there are no one at the end of the chances created to score a score; also with many injuries, Chelsea have had to rely only on Raheem Sterling to create chances and also score goals.

With players returning from injury; i think Pochetino can begin to get the desired results. Chelsea has no choice than to back their manager at this point.

I think a lot of people would agree that the result is what’s important. We’ve seen games where a team, having the lower odds, go into a match with a supposedly better opponent and despite having very poor statistics in the game, they come out winner. And everyone recognizes the winner irrespective of how poor they played.
So I think Chelsea’s performance hasn’t been all that good as they’ve lost a good majority of total games played. That isn’t a good performance.

About Chelsea backing its coach, I think loads of support and encouragement can go a long way in making progress.

Apart from the factors like you said which made Chelsea experience setbacks. I look at Chelsea now, I understand that as the new owner, Boehly wants a major revolution by overhauling the existing squad. The only thing I regret is, in the transition era it was not done gradually but immediately 'throw away' all the players from the Abramovic era without first retaining the pillar players as the framework of the team.

Maybe another factor was the purchase of players who were in a hurry, eager, all of them were bought and most of them were young players. As usual, if young players are not guided by senior players in their team, they will have difficulty developing because of their egos, and this has also been said by Frank Lampard before, that Chelsea players find it difficult to unite and there is a lack of solidarity in a team.

You should watch a review of Chelsea against Aston Villa to see the chances Mudryk was creating for the team but literally every one of them in the centre forward was sleeping that day, Enzo played well but I was not interested and Sterling was not making sync with what ball that was cross to him many times. If I'm Pochetinno, I will address this before the next match and make sure it doesn't repeat but you will be surprised that they will do worse in the following round of matches.

Manchester had just finished their match with Crystal Palace in the EFL cup and they are still showing signs of a team that can recover quickly, I want to see them repeat the same thing here in the Premier League to advance as quickly as possible to climb further away to the top, there is no point. I heard Ten Hag is trying to host his players with a Barbecue to unite players and mutual understanding between him and some players, I hope that works out well for the benefit of the team.

Manchester United 3 - 0 Crystal Palace

It was a dominant win today for Manchester United; as they had an excellent performance and also a great win for the first time this season under Ten Hag who has been under immense criticism. Do you think such good performances will continue ?

It was a dominant win today for Manchester United; as they had an excellent performance and also a great win for the first time this season under Ten Hag who has been under immense criticism. Do you think such good performances will continue ?

This is an impressive performance for Manchester United; they dominated the game from the start and played very well in the match, unlike the way they played in the Premier League. I think if Manchester United can keep up with such a performance in the Premier League, they will slightly get back to form since I can see that Raphael Varane is back in the team. I think his presence will give Manchester United’s defense confidence and will create fear in the presence of strikers since he is an experienced defender.
 
Although Manchester United has always won while playing at Old Trafford against Crystal Palace, in the beginning of the game I was expecting the match to be tough due to Manchester United's form so far, but they played well to show the entire world that they will soon bounce back strong in the Premier League.

[Ojima-ojo]

Chelsea have fought alot of battle since the beginning of the war and this have afected the clubs performance in varius leagues and for that we have to make some proper analysis at ro unravel what really isnat stake with Chelsea because at the moment, the club have not realy provide anything significant result that will support the possibility of the club to attain any significant height.


Some ways and how, we may likely see some positive moves in the near future withbthe club, but at this moment we have alot of likelihood that if Chelsea puts in the right efforts we may see a little positive result from the club.
