[Woodie]

Ahmad is back to face his former employers and looking at how this game is building up, am having both Mbeumo and Ahmad to be anytime goalscorers..

And finally United get to start their new goalkeeper and hope their first cleansheet happens today, let's go United **Finally Amorim isn't hiding like he usually does **  

Arsenal goal disallowed... Title contenders, let's get those goals

Manchester United ex players that are performing well in another team are enough evidence to say that Manchester United management are 100% responsible for the poor performance of the players at Manchester United, but I won't use that to justify that Manchester United management are 100% responsible for what has befell Manchester United because Manchester United management bought Ruben Amorim some players Ruben Amorim wanted, but yet Ruben Amorim couldn't improve Manchester United performance. I believe Manchester United management and coach are responsible for what has been happening at Manchester United.

Do you agree that this is a disgusting management and their initiatives have no impact at all as we see a lack of violence within Man United in this new season's Premier League but today facing off against new team Sunderland, they seem determined to win. You are right that former players of this team are able to create enough opportunities by going to other teams, among them we can notably pull Marcus Rashford into this context because this player was loaned to Barcelona but his attacking prowess is now creating a different fairy tale. Man United have not yet realised the talent of this player, but he is already showing his fighting spirit for Barcelona Football Club in the new season's Champions League, in fact this player was surprisingly able to score two goals for Barcelona in the group opening match of this new UCL and he was very combative against the Paris Saint-Germain club.

Are you kidding me? You said Manchester United have got some bad players? Hmm joke of the season, what are your criterias in terms of rating bad players, bro let me Manchester United have got what it takes to perform absolutely well, I think the manager is not up and doing, a good and experience manager will utilize this current Manchester United squad to his taste and won trophies with them, but Erik Ten Hang and Ruben Amorin doesn't have such idea so people like you will hang it on players, okay when last did you check the Manchester United players that have left the club? They are doing absolutely well while the once at United are still struggling to win match.

IMHO, United’s squad ain’t really as bad as some people make em look. In fact if you wanna consider the quality of these players individually, players like Bruno Fernandes, Hojlund, Martinez, Casemiro and even the younger players like Maino and Garnacho as all a definition of a competitive player. And I agree with you that most times the players ain’t really the problem, sure the players do have a solid part to play, but the truth is that they’re all just pieces of pawns in game and how their success on the pitch determines how they’re used, coached and mentally prepared for every single game before they even get on the pitch.

Is going to be a banter free week for Manchester United fans if their players maintain the scoreline or add more goals but if they end up drawing or allow Sunderland to come from the back and win them, then they'll end up being dragged by rival fans again this week, I know the prayer of every United fan currently is that their players don't make errors that would make Sunderland score.

 Some of the players you mentioned are not longer playing with Manchester United'a squad currently, Garnacho is currently a Chelsea plater and Hodjlund is on loan at Napoli and could be bought after the season since he's doing well over there. Well, Manchester United players should try to maintain the leaf and make their fans happy this week.

There is no way to consider Manchester United's squad as weak. Manchester united has spent a lot of money. And every player in the squad is very talented. We  have seen very good performances from Mbeumo,  Cunha and Sesko  in the last season too. So this team is not weak. Manchester United's performance is still erratic because the new players are not able to adapt well to Amorim's  strategy. If the bonding between the players gradually strengthens and if Amorim's match strategy is decent, then we will see better performances from Manchester United in the coming matches. Manchester united is performing brilliantly against Sunderland in today's match

I didn't mention player in my post I was talking about the board and not the players. If you said the manager is not good, then I want to ask how many managers will they hire ?. For how many seasons now Manchester United has been changing manager and yet they aren't getting the desired result. So I feel is high time the board should shift there attention to other solutions. Instead of always changing manager hoping that , it is the solution to the club poor performance. There is nothing wrong with the players, I believe is bad policies that is responsible for Manchester United problems.

The Big game of the night, is less than an hour from starting this game is the most followed game of the week in England. Both teams will be going out for an outright victory, a win for any of the two teams will be very helpful to their title challenge the bookmakers has given Chelsea the home team with an odd of 2.98 while Liverpool is given 2.39. the odds has said it all this game will be tough and will be keenly contested between these two teams.

[Platinumys]

Yes, there is no denying that Manchester United has poor players but you can't just blame the players, Manchester United's management also has enough problems in this regard. If the management was good, they would have definitely appointed good managers to the club and if there were good managers in the club, the performance of this club would have definitely been good. The club is only spending money on players and managers, but despite all this, we are not seeing much change in the team's performance. I think that changing one or two players will not improve Manchester United's performance much, but a skilled manager should be given the responsibility of this club and multiple changes should be made in this team, only then can this team return to good performance.

Though, the manager have a huge role to play in improving the team, but in the case of Manchester united, I don't think that the sole cause of their problem is the manager, Ruben Amorin is not a bad coach, he was doing exceptionally well before he was brought to Manchester united, and even his predecessors weren't doing well when handling Manchester united, so I don't think that they are the major cause of Manchester united problem.
Jose Mourinho, Luiz van gaal and ole gunnar solskjaer are top quality coaches, but they all failed in Manchester united, that's alone is enough reason for everyone to understand that the manager is not the problem of Manchester united but the hierarchy.

What is happening with Manchester United at the moment is really bad because even though Manchester United started the season with good prospects, why do they perform poorly every season? If there is a management problem, how will the club solve this management problem? Now the owner may invest money behind bringing a player, but the manager brings that player. The three players that the manager has brought to Manchester United this season, I don't think they have performed well so far. If Manchester United had brought two good quality players instead of these three, then it would have been seen that the team's performance has changed a lot. Many people make fun of Manchester United's recent performance, saying that the players who come to this team perform badly.

odds you provided, Chelsea 2.98 &  Liverpool 2.39 mean Liverpool are slight favourites however not by much, definitely a tough fight imo. if you are sophisticated bettor you should look deeper, home advantage, injuries, recent form, head to head trends.. etc. Read this article published yesterday, the Chelsea boss said that despite Liverpools strengths, they now have weaknesses. So I can see the value in leaning towards Liverpool however a draw or surprise result is entirely possible. Lets see if Chelsea could roar at home ground.

I enjoyed the first 45 minutes of Leeds vs Tottenham Hotspur game. Both teams are dedicated to winning this match, which made the first 45 minutes end in the way they started it. The next 45 minutes will be more interesting to watch because Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur will go extra mile to win this game, but I won't be surprised if nothing separates the two sides in the second half. It seems it's only you and I that are watching the Leeds vs Tottenham Hotspur game because there are not many comments about this game after the first 45 minutes being played.

Am also watching the game it's quiet interesting in second half, Tottenham Hotspur currently against LEED United with 2-1 buy this just 65 minutes tho, and  with the pressure of LEED United, this game might end a draw, let's see how it ends. And you are right the silence around the game surprising, maybe others are watching silently or watching a different match, because their are other strong games going on currently in champions league, but this game of Tottenham Hotspur and LEED United, should drag more attention. The game still ongoing let's see how it to me I have predicted it already as a win or draw for Tottenham.

Mohammed Kudus capitalises on Leeds' defender error to give Tottenham Hotspur a 1-2 lead against Leeds in the 57 minutes. Tottenham Hotspur defended the 1-2 lead till the referee blew the final whistle to earn full points today. It seems people weren't interested in the Leeds vs Tottenham Hotspur game because after the game ended at full time, people didn't also comment about the game here.

Caicedo's strike has temporarily sent Arsenal to the top of the English Premier League table and if the match eventually ends in the favour of Chelsea, it means that Arsenal will have to enjoy the top of the table for atleast one week. I actually didn't expect such a powerful strike from Caicedo.

The intensity of the match is still high and it seems that Liverpool will likely equalize this match before the end of the 1st half. Chelsea seems more sharp and determined in today's match.

Chelsea has the lead temporarily but I've noticed something bad at their backline. Badshille lacks creativity and smartness in his decisions. He's very slow in giving passes and I'm not comfortable with it. If there's more pressure on the defense he may likely make mistakes that would prove costly. Enzo comes to his rescue for the main time. I just hope he starts delivering better passes that can move the ball better for the Chelsea team.

[Velvet78]

Nuno Espírito Santo didn't surprise me by the game plan he adopted today. He did good with that for quite much too but it wasn't easy to keep out a team like Arsenal.

By the way Gyökeres is a big failure so far.    When will he start scoring again? This time Arsenal are having a Nunez situation?


Maybe Caicedo scored the goal of the week... Liverpool are still struggling. But I was waiting for this. Chelsea know how to play against them at home. Arne Slot also can't find a solution to this drop in performance recently.

I think Mamardashvili bring a bad luck to Liverpool, few days ago they got beaten by Galatasaray, now he play again and Chelsea currently lead the game. But the shot by Caicedo has lower chance to result in goal because the distance is far and from that angle, it's hard to score.

So far they're equal, if Liverpool didn't score any goal, in second half I'm sure they will play with full press.

Slot should give more chance to Chiesa and Ekitike, they're great in this season.

Arsenal is playing very well; they beat Arsenal-Westham 2-0 today. Westham hasn't been very good this season, and they haven't had many wins.
Arsenal has been playing excellently in most matches, and with their new signings, Arsenal has taken things to the next level this year.
The first question that immediately comes to mind is whether Arsenal will win the title this year. It's still too early. Arsenal may be closer to the title than ever before.
There's also a Chelsea-Liverpool match today, and a win for Chelsea would be a tremendous gift for Arsenal.

Atleast Arsenal would leave the 2nd position and enjoy being at the top for a while but they have to hope that Chelsea wins cause the match is still on and there's enough time for Liverpool to try turn the game in their favour. Although I love the confidence of Chelsea players, they're very eager to win and they don't look frightened by Liverpool's squad I don't know if the confidence is because they're playing at home but I hope they maintain it till the full 90mins cause Liverpool could come back strong in the 2nd half and win the game, they know they've messed up in the 1st half so they'll try to correct it in the next half.

 ....

Sesko doubled the lead making it 2:0 in the first half and that was how the game was finalised as there were no more goals scored in the second half of the game. It's indeed gonna be a banter free weekend for the Manchester United fans but can they keep a winning run, it's just what the problem has being with the team as we can't recall when they had a winning streaks month. In fact, I think this win makes it a 6 wins for Manchester United in 7 months. A very poor record that has never being heard of them.

Chelsea is winning Liverpool on live score, Liverpool has lost their previous two games and are losing away to Chelsea. Arsenal is topping the league With this development. But I'm not sure if Arsenal can maintain their winning streak after the international break, because they have so many injuries in the team.

Arsenal are always good at the beginning of the season, towards the returning legs they will start losing unnecessary matches, for the past three years they end second on the league table. They should do things differently this season if they want to win the title.

I'm slightly disappointed with Arsenal performance today tho be honest with you, I expected them to score more goals in that match. West Ham is a weak team which is 19th position on the table not to mention that the game is played on Emirates stadium which should be a double advantage for Arsenal to demolish West Ham with many goals.

Chelsea on the other hand has started the first half well and very confident and they're having a goal advantage, however I maintain my lack of faith in Badshille. If Liverpool can press attack more in the second half, it wouldn't take time for him to make a costly error. Garnacho almost doubled the advantage but was denied by the wood work.

The game is not yet over and you cannot conclude that Chelsea have already won the game. The first 45 minutes is over and I expect something better from Liverpool in the second half. It's not yet over until it's over. However, Chelsea is holding the game strong giving Liverpool with little chance of equalizing the goal. The second half is about to start, I hope that Liverpool can fight back to retain their first position on the table.
