⚽ English Premier League Season: 2024/2025

I assumed 'easily' to determine something I now understand had different meanings. For me, I would have thought Manchester United had the funds to buy the players they wanted to fit them in to the slots occupied by the players mentioned in the earlier post. I did not factor the issue they had to sell them because in some cases they need a backup player or one to challenge for their place in the match day squad.

You are right of course, replacing seven players is not an easy task in one transfer window especially when most of them went with the team abroad on their pre-season tour.

^  I don't think Man United could 'easily' find replacements for that many players and at this time of the transfer window when transfer fees get higher.  Not without UCL football they won't.  The most promising players always want to have UCL football on the table or an assurance that they could play in the UCL next year.  :-/  But they prolly could change most of those players but maybe with players that they mostly don't really like or thought they liked but then later not really.

But dunno...  replacing 7 players in one transfer window is hard for any manager.

Yup and even if they could change 7 players in one transfer window because let's say it was 'easy', the club still couldn't be sure how those new players could play well together or if they could actually gel as a team.  So all in all, it's never really 'easy'.

And to emphasize a point, UCL football is so important if a club with Man United's financial resources wants to acquire the best players they can.

I think Kompany did something similar at Burnley when he manager. He got them promoted to the Premier League but then before the season started he had an influx of a massive number of players. Asking them to adjust was always going to be difficult and even though he had an excellent playing career at Manchester City he was not the best manager or coach, he was unable to get the players to gel as a team. Any manager would struggle to get seven players in one transfer window integrated in to his squad.

Not long now, the season is starting after 10 days

Kompany was a great player no doubt. He was one of my favorite players. But Kompany has failed so far as a coach. Kompany was the coach of Burnley last season. And this team did not qualify for the Premier League. This is definitely Kompany's failing. Burnley team managed to win only 5 matches out of 38 matches. Burnley performed very poorly. This is why I would say Vincent Kompany is a complete failure as a coach so far.

I think Bayern Munich have given the job to someone as inexperienced as Kompany because Kompany has been with Guardiola for a long time. And perhaps next season we will see the impact of Guardiola's strategy on Bayern Munich's overall gameplay. I am not saying it will happen, but it is likely to happen. Not long until the season starts. Let's see how Munich performs next season with the help of KOmpany.

New coaches or players need to adapt to a new team. They only differ with time constraints. Some are adapting fast, medium, and slow so he has to leave. So I believe that nothing is instant to get achievements. Even Pep Guardiola needs time to become the most successful coach legend at Man City.
I think Pep has also been a new coach, just like Kompany. So let Kompany provide evidence and continue to learn because coaches also need experience and management support to get good achievements.

Full season and a promotion with Burnley, full season at the top level in the EPL and a relegation with Burnley again, I guess he's has seeing enough and have gotten both promotion and relegation experience, what experience does he needs again? 

What are your thoughts on the upcoming community shield final ? Who's your money on?

Don't blame them, everybody is doing it. Arsenal did it with Mikel Arteta and look at how that turned out (runner ups twice in a roll after being a disaster prior to his employment). Chelsea has decided to do the same with Enzo Maresca. Erik ten Hag is doing alright at Manchester United, Xabi Alonso is killing it at Leverkusen (all coaches has an association with Pep Guardiola). The strategy now is to just follow the train and do what is working for others instead of being different. When you think about it, I doubt Kompany flops at Bayern Munich

My bet would had been on Manchester city but after the last match that they had all the possession (in the FA cup) but still couldn't win, I think I might be reconsidering my bet on them to win. We can't write off Manchester United out of the picture because one thing Erik ten Hag does well is to win them sometime and I'll not be shocked to see him defeat Pep Guardiola again.

I'll close my eyes and bet on Manchester City. I wouldn't think twice about doing it. I know Manchester United beat Manchester City in the FA Cup final to win the title. But I don't think the same thing will happen again.

We have never seen better performances from Manchester United in friendly matches or pre-season matches. Although I know these matches were not that important. In addition, opportunities were also given to young players in Manchester United's squad. But I don't see any improvement in Manchester United's overall performance. We do not see any change in Manchester United's match strategy. This is why I think Manchester United cannot win against City. Also, one of the main strikers in Manchester United's squad will be absent in this match due to injury. For these reasons, I don't think Manchester United have any chance of winning against Manchester City.
