The final score was 4-4.

In this match, Manchester United's attack was indeed very good, but in terms of effectiveness, it was quite equal to Bournemouth's, with the same number of shots on target.

Man United did score four goals, but on the other hand, they also conceded four. Yes, this means their defense was that bad this time. Even though the front line played very well, their defense was so poor that they conceded four goals to Bournemouth. This is another homework for Amorim.

The game was quite fascinating because of the numbers of goals scored, because we the neutral fan just want to see goals, and that was the goal feast we got in the game, but I was really disappointed in Manchester United for throwing away the three point at the closing stages of the match when they were in a winning position, because Ruben amorin should have brought in more defenders to defend and hold unto their lead till the final whistle, but he fails to do that, which was one of the reason they only went home with a point, instead of the whole three point, but if Manchester United really wants to qualify for a place in the uefa champions League next season, they needs to start winning games like this that they are not in their best, that's how a team with winning mentality are made., because you can't be at your best all the time, but if they can start winning when they are not at their best, it's going to help them a lot in improving their standing in the league table.

It was very intriguing that 8 goals was scored in this game and would have even turned out to be 9 goals if senne lammens didn't do his best to save the day. Their performance against Bournemouth showed how weak their defense is, with such a weak form it would be impossible for them to win against Aston Villa. They are nothing to write home about this season i hope that will change soon

Lucky the one who bet in over goals in the game between Manchester United and Bournemouth but also for sure if anyone puts again a bet on over for the next game of any of this two teams is gonna lose it, Manchester United and Bournemouth are right now super irregular teams, so avoid them at all cost.

I don't like playing Manchester united and Bournemouth in my ticket despite who they are playing against because they can be so annoying some times, the match you will expect them to win or score they will not but the one you won't expect them to score that is the one they will score just like the previous Manchester united game they played against Bournemouth, no one believed they will score this goals, 8 goals in a match I mean that was crazy and unexpected and I will always avoid them in my ticket for my safety even though other teams will cut my ticket I don't care.

Could anyone have  imagined that the two teams would score 8 goals in this match? It was a completely unexpected event. Especially Bournemouth players managed to score 4 goals in this match. Bournemouth's attack was not very strong. They have  not even scored so many goals in any match this season. But in this match, bournemouth players  were able to identify the weakness of manchester united's defense well and were able to score 4  goals. Manchester united's performance has become very erratic. I stopped betting on their matches a few weeks ago.

Sunderland is a strong team. Since they are not dependent on any specific player, and the bonding between the players is also very strong. So Sunderland was able to perform quite well against the big teams. We have seen Sunderland's irregular performance in a few matches. But it is still a big challenge for the big teams to get points against Sunderland. However, I hope Sunderland will not be affected by the African Cup of Nations. Every player is a professional. They will definitely perform carefully and try to avoid the possibility of major injuries.

Sunderland is one of the most fastest growing club and am sure that no one saw this coming and the way they are playing without dependency on a particular player even makes thing more easier for them because they don't have to wait for a particular player to get result, and that is one of the most effective way to solve problems of even blaming a particular player every other player is ever ready just to deliver and this is how it is suppose to be, since everyone is educated of there role.

And Sunderland don't mind who they are playing against there calculation is always on the weaknesses of there opponent and once it is discovered the next thing is you will see them winning, and that is the most important thing and they have become a threat to so many clubs, and that is why most times you can rely on them when you are gambling they usually deliver and at least they are trying to be committed and it is a good thing. And any club facing them are always scared because they don't know what to expect. And when your opponent don't know what to expect it makes them more confuse during play. I love how Sunderland are committed.

Sunderland is one of those teams that came from relegation and started the season in a grand style. They have defeated most big clubs without difficulties, I don't know if they can maintain their performance till the end of the season so that, they can finish on top six. Forest did the same thing last season.

What do you expect, right from the beginning of this season, Liverpool have missed their steps already and this have destabilize their entire performance for this season, in the early days of this season, Liverpool shown a bit of consistency in their positive performance and repeated winnings, but along the line things became messy and Liverpool continue on that part without any attempts to recover back to their early record of success that was pointing them to potential winning in this season.

There's no doubt the coach is to blame. Look at the way he's treated Salah For God's sake, Salah has given much more to Liverpool than that coach. So some things just don't make sense The players' hierarchy isn't respected either They left after Luis Enrique, now after Salah. It's a shame that just one person can dismantle a team with so much potential to win anything.

I will blame Salah for all these happening to him because when he was supposed to leave Liverpool with a bigger offer, he decided not to leave which I don't know his personal reasons but now, he is been benched for several matches which I believe the coach doesn't like him at all. The coach will soon be sacked soon due to their poor performances if the loses continues.

Yes they have come to stay in the premium league, but the team will soon be having hard time when six of there key players will be leaving for the afcon, it will be interesting to see how the team will scope, if they go true that period with good results them I will say they are not just here to stay but also are title contender,

[Wakate]

I wassurprised when Tottenham lost to Nottingham Forest, because Tottenham has been very poor lately and they are also very to predict. Nottingham Forest on the other hand have been playing better lately, although I wasn't so sure that they will win the match and I wasn't sure of Tottenham winning either, so I just played over 2.5 goals, because I believed that there will be goals in the match. Tottenham is not a good team to bet on winning,  because they are very hard to predict.

Something like this do happen and ther is no way we could have predicted that the match is going to end like that.
Just like the way Tottenham loses, the same way fans loses money too from their bets betting that Tottenham is going to beat Notingham Forest. People just need to understand that life doesn't always go the way we predict it to go and this also affect every single predicted football matches.

After Sunderland was promoted they did alot of reenforcement in there team which made them appear as one of the best teams that was promoted to the English premier league.  Know doubt the African cup of nation will affect them seriously because there main squad are all Africans but will find ever  means to cover there loophole when the time comes. So I strongly believe the above mentioned statement that Sunderland must definitely get to there target which is not been relegated because they have an already existing structure or techniques which will help them maintain form till the end of the afcon

I think the team even if they are being affected by these won't  suffer drastically not to keep a balanced win because they have played top teams and were able to get at least a point and now having less difficult team's to play they can still be difficult and even if they meet these top teams again.

After all, they work with team play and not necessarily individual brilliance which I think others might be able to feel well even if it's not excellently but still okay go compete.

Bournemouth had score three goals in two different occasions at old Trafford the home of Manchester United before that game so if you were looking at goals and wanted to make the most of the odds playing Bournemouth over 2.5 goals was a great one.
It is always a goals game when Manchester United meets Bournemouth but from recent history at the old Trafford it has been Bournemouth scoring most of the goals so they were the sure one.

The realest advice gotten so far, after what Manchester United and Bournemouth played it’s obvious same performance will not be certain rather one of these team will win, not sure if Manchester United can defeat Bournemouth second round so it’s best to avoid the game. Aston Villa Will be playing against Manchester United next although this game might have some interesting odds yet many will be tempted to play against Aston Villa knowing fully well united is unpredictable.

Among all of the current promotion team i think Sunderland is the best because until week 16 Sunderland can reach to top 10 and one of their important result is won from Newcastle on Tyne-Wear derby that finally since 2016 the fans will watching this derby again in premier league and Sunderland have started it with very well because won from Newcastle but their consistency will be tested for upcoming games because Sunderland will lost some important players to defend their national team at African cup but i am quite confident that Sunderland can reach their target to avoiding relegation zone or staying at premier league

After Sunderland was promoted they did alot of reenforcement in there team which made them appear as one of the best teams that was promoted to the English premier league.  Know doubt the African cup of nation will affect them seriously because there main squad are all Africans but will find ever  means to cover there loophole when the time comes.

It is an insult if you refer to Sunderland as one of the best teams that was promoted to the premier league this season because Sunderland is not one of the best teams that was promoted to the premier league. Sunderland are one of the best teams in the premier league this season, and if Sunderland end with their current performance, they will finish in the top 10 this season. If Sunderland team or squad is majorly made up of African players, it will be difficult for Sunderland to replace the players that will leave because of African cup of nation, so we should be expecting a decline in Sunderland's performance.

[AYOBA]

Sunderland arising because they have teamwork, Sunderland has been a very good team since the starting of the season, they did very well to scrutinised the last transfer window, they did not spend much unlike the top teams but comparing them to the teams of their level, they spent a lot, but honestly I don't think they will regret spending like that. they just got promoted and if you see their performance it's mind blowing because they are moving confidently as if there were in Premier League last season. Sunderland are currently in 8th place on the table with seven victories, five draws and four defeats. There in a very challenging situation now because currently almost four teams have the same point including Sunderland, which means their 17th Match of the season will be very tough because they will all fight for 5th position on the table.

That's a great teamwork from Sunderland this season, everyone where shocked with the way their performing went very good and strong against every of their opponents they face. Because I was surprised the last time they with Arsenal they performing very well as i don't expected that can they able to hold Arsenal to stage.

The teams that Sunderland are able to defeated this season if they told me that they can able to perform to have victories over a strong teams I will not believe, but with their much efforts they make it happen. Right now as Sunderland, has comfortable sit in 8th place in the table next aim is to move forward.

I see Manchester United to be very unpredictable and that is the truth. But if we want to keep records and track back, we can as well tell that Manchester United have some good records against Aston Villa, but it will be very wrong to use it as a criteria for analyzing the fact that Manchester United might come up victorious against Aston Villa. To be honest, I don't know how others may see this game, but to me I think Manchester United is having more potential to put this game up to their selves. What I can tell about this Manchester United of a team is that, they always have some good records and interesting fight against big teams, and I think we are expecting some interesting results from this game

This match against Bournemouth is one of the craziest match I have watched so far, honestly Manchester united does not show a sign of seriousness their performance in this match was quite different from other matches which Bryan mbuamo was also affected because his performance in that match seems to be different from other matches. though I know that he must not be the best in all times but to be realistic he didn't perform in their previous match, If they should continue with this in their upcoming match against Aston villa I won't be surprise to see Aston villa wining them straight up.

[Rengga Jati]

Sunderland is a very striking team this season in the English Premier League, their ability can indeed compete with top teams, can also draw with top teams, and their victory over Newcastle makes them much better, even though they are still unstable but we can measure that Sunderland is a very impressive team in the matches they go through, having responsibility in another league is not easy for the players and becomes a void in the club, but it must be accepted and Sunderland coach Le Bris must find a solution to maintain his position in the top 10 this season, they must get through all the storms.

Yes, Sunderland is a newly promoted Premier League club that shouldn't be underestimated. They lost to Manchester City, but they managed to draw with Liverpool and, indeed, against several middle-top clubs so far, it's at least difficult enough to win against this club. And most recently, they managed to win the match against Newcastle, which ultimately saw Sunderland finish in 8th place, while Newcastle fell to 12th. This time, Newcastle really failed to maintain their position, especially after a run of five consecutive matches, which was also not very good.

Fortunately, in the EFL Cup, Newcastle managed to beat their opponents, Fulham, 2-1, and advance to the semifinals. Unfortunately, in the semifinals, they will face Manchester City. Well, can they make it much better and stronger to play again Man City and continue to the final of EFL? I'm not sure about this.

You can't be so sure about it just because they already score many goals in their previous game doesn't mean they won't score many again, the theory of yours is not proven. Even if both teams don't score many it depends on the teams they are playing against. They are irregular and inconsistent in term of winning games but betting on number of goals scored is the only way you can actually get something from them.

There's no doubt the coach is to blame. Look at the way he's treated Salah For God's sake, Salah has given much more to Liverpool than that coach. So some things just don't make sense The players' hierarchy isn't respected either They left after Luis Enrique, now after Salah. It's a shame that just one person can dismantle a team with so much potential to win anything.

I will blame Salah for all these happening to him because when he was supposed to leave Liverpool with a bigger offer, he decided not to leave which I don't know his personal reasons but now, he is been benched for several matches which I believe the coach doesn't like him at all. The coach will soon be sacked soon due to their poor performances if the loses continues.

Of course I blame Salah too for what happened to him even though I know that the team didn't respect him for all he has done for them. He wasn't really supposed to still be at the club till this day but he went on and overstayed his welcome. This is what happens when you are getting old and still want top flight football you won't be able to cope with the intensity anymore it happened to Ronaldo too and Messi as well so in times like this you just have to let it go and join other leagues. My advice is that he leaves at the end of this season to avoid further embarrassments.

Truth be told I'm very much impressed by Sunderland's performance since the starting of the English premier League 2025/2026 campaign they have been superb with their doings and that is really amazing amongst all the promoted teams they seem to be the most serious, even at a point they where even at the top four they were there for some weeks I think they started dropping points drastically after the defeat from Manchester United, but in as much they still manage to beat Chelsea, and this are some of the criteria that makes the English premier League more interesting than that of the other leagues seeing the underdog teams coming up against the big teams it's really interesting.
