But I don't see the Liverpool Management trying to sack Slot just like the way that, Chelsea and Manchester United has done to me sacking of the coach is not the problem. Liverpool should be more concerned about building a team that will last long in terms of performance going forward not just in the league but also in the champions League.

No body saw it coming that maresca was gonna be sacked in fact i totally didn’t believe it at first and that how Chelsea has been with their coaches the same way Thomas tuchel got sack whe n no body expected it was the same as that of maresca. Chelsea have got a problem but sacking him might not be the solution. The players are not upto the level at which they think they are.
They need to get a proper number 9 and a 10 as well if not they will continue sacking who ever they hire.

Chelsea is taking the wrong approach to transfers. Many of the players they acquire are part of a large rotation squad but aren't always directly included in the starting eleven. Furthermore, Chelsea's tendency to sign players to very long contracts creates problems when it comes to getting rid of them later. I think it would be more logical to focus on acquiring the best players for the positions they need, rather than buying a lot of players at once.

When they finished 15th last season, they should have sacked Amorim. They waited way too long, all those people who keep saying "united changes managers like I change sock", first of all you should start changing your socks more often lol, secondly what was they suppose to do, let a bad manager keep on running the club to the ground?

Sure, they reached higher places this season and that is fine, but it was clear from the results that they are doing a bad job, so no reason why they should keep him. Better question to ask is why they waited this long? I said this before, before Amorim arrived, I will say it right now too, Xavi is the best one and should be something they need to consider, he will be better for them.

I think they delayed with Ten Hag, not Amorim. Amorim ended up taking over United midway through the season, and it was a lost season from the start. It would have been better if he had taken over at United the year before last, then he would have been sacked after the full season, and this year the new manager would have had a full season to prove himself. Last season, Amorim acted exactly as agreed upon when he was hired – he didn’t care about results, he simply rebuilt the team for the long term.

Sacking Arne Slot?! I was amongst them man who also speculated that to happen but then, Arne Slot remains a premier league title winner. And if they're to have him sacked, they'll make sure they carry out the right research on who replaces him. The noise around them all gone quiet now but they're no where close to winning the league again this season with this inconsistent performance. They have a squad who can win the the league again, they just need Salah consistent with scoring or a replacement who can do same.

Taking out Arne Slot would add extra layers of disorganization in the Liverpool team, he's best left in there to fix the challenges in the club and then try to implement a working strategy, by Identifying the right starting XI suitable to yeild great results for the reds. However, if he gets to be removed a replacement won't be a problem, fans across the world roots for Steven Gerrard to replace Slot.

West Ham have become a total mess this season and that is rather unfortunate. They always score first but winning the match have remained elusive to them. How do they explain scoring first against Westham and eventually losing the match even when they played in their home with stadium filled with supporters? Even though they might be relegated, they should at least fight a little like Wolves is doing that got them a draw against Manchester United. I'm not really impressed with West Ham because they still have the chance of escaping relegation.

West Ham United's goal yesterday was also due to Murillo's own goal. This is because of the Nuno effect, which often fails with the teams he coaches. Nuno's tenure as coach always ends prematurely because the club considers him not to be the solution.

West Ham United is now in a difficult position where the team should be fighting to secure a spot that keeps them from being in a position many teams want to avoid. With 14 points from 21 matches, West Ham United is currently in 18th place. I fear that when the transfer window opens, Bowen and several key players will leave for other teams amid their efforts to avoid relegation.

West Ham's performance is actually quite weak, their players did not try, due to which they could only score 1 goal. This is also because of Murillo and he scored a goal with a good effort in the 13th minute and made a winning effort for his team, but 2 players from Nottingham Forest scored and strengthened their victory. West Ham could neither defend nor stop the opposing team from scoring. If they had won this match, their points would have increased, but they are still at the bottom. They should play well and improve their position so that they can work hard for the title. Obviously, they should join a team where their position is good and if they are strong, then they will have that advantage, then they will not care about any team. They have this solution now, either they improve themselves or destroy themselves, besides that they have no solution to save themselves.

Yes, most people were shocked when Chelsea sacked Maresca, despite his contributions to Chelsea and the club's success in winning major trophies. However, the club's top brass didn't treat him fairly. Chelsea won't recover from their poor performance after sacking Maresca because the new manager brought in by Chelsea doesn't have much experience coaching a club, even though the new manager has only coached a small club, but Chelsea hired him. And as you said, Chelsea is known for firing managers at will, even if they are capable of winning trophies.

[Hanadawa]

Yes he did well but his team rotation partner is affecting the team negatively, a good coach do not change a winning team and that is what he is good at doing, so he is also having differences with his players

Sorry, but I think at a competitive level like the Premier League, a coach can't avoid rotating players and making tactical changes every match. If you mean a coach shouldn't change a winning team, then in just a few matches, the other team can analyze your playing style and immediately expose your weaknesses. Because every tactic always has a counter. I'm not a football coach, but I believe that in elite-level competition, a coach must always be able to formulate the best composition after analyzing the opponent's playing style. And if a team seems to be using the same players, I think it's because the team is good quality or they're using the same players but with different tactics.

[Chilwell]

There's nothing as such, I don't believe in any curse thing because such things do not exist at Manchester United, rather the club's hierarchy is responsible for the misfortunes that have befallen the club over the years, there is so much interference within the club, both external and internal, the coaches that have been brought always struggle a lot due to the actions of the board.

Normally I don't believe in such discussions but honestly Manchester United are behaving as if their cursed, but in this aspect i don't believe in all this, Manchester United has been suffering from this problem for a very long time and I think he decided for them to sit down so that things can be fix. hierarchy of the club should check their behaviors because how can you have best coaches and also best players and you don't have nothing to show for it, honestly it is disgusting. 10 coaches after sir Alex Ferguson left and they could not be able to even play at the same level when Alex Ferguson was there. Let's keep watching but I believe one day there will be able to fix things.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Hopefully, you're right. I'm also thinking the way you did. Forest was at 17th, while Westham at 18th. Both of clubs were terrible, but i rated westham is far worst than NFFC. It seems to me Forest is gonna win it. Their opponent is just recently terminating callum wilson's contract. So no more him in the upcoming game.
As far as i know Wilson has been one of their best performer this season. Playing without him obviously weakening Westham. So it's opportunity for Forest to grab three points.

It's hard to believe this match is gonna be goalless. Both clubs to score, but Forest win.

Nottingham Forest are slightly favored because they sometimes show good games, but West ham also has home advantage. It is difficult to guess the winner and it is also difficult to choose the option of both teams scoring goals. I think @1.74 for that option is too high, but anyway this match is important for them to stay away from the relegation zone, wish you luck today.

Everything is going well as what i've planned. Both teams are equal, but Forest is slightly better considering the way they play. Forest is successfully making Nuno, former of their coach is closer to be sacked again. They dominated Westham the whole game. So they deserved the win, but i was also lucky enough Westham's goal was onside. I thought referee would be disallowed it.

It is not possible to see too bad eggs, definitely there will be a slight difference which one will have a better condition than the other. This is what exactly happened between West Ham and Nottingham Forest, compare to how these two clubs performs last season, i will confidently say that they have declined. Last season, take a look at their performance especially Nottingham Forest, they played so well to the extent of frustrating the top teams and this season they are busy fighting for the relegation zone, Nottingham Forest victory came because they are definitely the good egg among the two bad ones.

West ham finished last season on 14th place on the table and this season they are at the relegations zone. I don't see any strength in them when it comes to living that relegation zone. West Ham performance is getting worse day by day and the season has crossed the middle so in this case if really they want to make it to the next season they have to put more efforts if not there will exchange position with wolves.

Arne Slot might be safe for this season and I am very sure that he will not be sacked by Liverpool this season, although the team has been performing very poorly this season, despite the amount of money he spend in the transfer window, but I can confidently say that he will not be sacked this season.
The reason he will not be sacked this season is because he won the Premier League last season and the board are still giving him that grace, but if he continues this way next season, he might not survive till the mid of next season.

[knowngunman]

They have a squad who can win the the league again, they just need Salah consistent with scoring or a replacement who can do same.

Does the club consider this in the first place before sacking a coach? I don't think so because if they do carry out research on who to replace the coach they're about to sack before sacking him, they won't mostly end up settling for less. I assume they normally sack the coach before they begin to search for another and that's why most at times they'll send away professional coach and bring someone from unknown league with less experience and still expect him to perform like a pro in the most competitive league. If Liverpool sack Arne Slot now, there are no better options out there and things might probably get worse. Manchester United sack their and they're about to bring in a former coach who was sacked for incompetence.

[MK-74]

Manchester City no longer have any margin for error because they dropped a total of 4 points in their last two league matches and the gap with Arsenal has widened.

Manchester United will take the field tonight without a head coach, as the new manager has still not been decided.
They will play against Burnley and I think they will win.

West Ham situation is starting to get worst and worst everyday, i really thinked Nuno can bring them back and start to collect points by a very strong defense like he always do in his teams, but damn they didnt stop to make silly mistakes like Areola yesterday with that penaltie in the last minutes of the game, is impossible to do something when the players are making so silly moves.

Wait I seriously want to know West Ham problem, so you are saying the players are the problem ? Because I don't watch there match often, although I like Espirito, I thought he will be the one to deliver West Ham but it's been over 3 months now and am not seeing any progress, I hope it's the players because Espirito performed well in Nottingham Forest so the player should be the reasonable problem right?

Westham was not Forest. Different club, different human resources potential to be managed. The last game showed by Nuno has no clue how to manage his current club. The fact that Westham is not only bad as a team, their management and owner are also terrible.

At this point, they have no solution other than sacking Nuno, get rid all of people in the management, and change the ownership.

I have seen enough how management and sullivan used coach as their scapegoat. So all of them must go out of the club.


Btw, another interesting game to come soon. We will see Palace to face Aston Villa, which i think villa is gonna win it. Win probability in favor villa to take three points, though it's gonna be a selhurst park game. What's your choice?

They are a wierd team this season. They started the season bad then they found rythm and now again cannot win a game or draw. I think some of the injuries have effect on them but still for them this will be a really hard season. They lost against the direct opponent for battle for survival and now they are down by 7 points.

I would honestly be shocked if such a huge team gets relegated and they dont have a bad team honestly overall

[mobilestrike]

West Ham's ten-match winless streak is truly devastating, as they currently sit in the relegation zone with 14 points. In addition to their poor defense, they are also experiencing a confidence crisis. I've noticed that West Ham consistently score more than one goal per game, but they struggle to maintain their winning streak due to inconsistent defense. West Ham's recent match against Nottingham Forest was less impressive, as the goals came from mistakes and they suffered a defeat after Nottingham Forest scored twice.

This defeat at home against Nottingham Forest is going to be worst for them because now difference of points is 7 coming games are going to not easy this will put them in relegation zone for long time even now as they are performing I am expecting them to be relegated.

This timely win gave good boost to Nottingham Forest because they were also in deep trouble, but now they are having good relief and this win will be having positive impact on their performance in coming matches from start of this season few top teams are having terrible time specially Nottingham which is now 17th in league table, and they needed to be having strong strategy for another season in Premier League.

West ham's performance this season is terrible. As the days go by , their chances of qualifying for the Premier League are getting smaller. West Ham had a big chance of winning in the last two matches. The opponents Nottingham forest and Wolves were two of the weakest teams in this premier league. But west ham lost in both these matches. And they are 7  points behind Nottingham forest.

West ham still has a chance of qualifying for the Premier peague if they are able to play well in the upcoming matches. But with such a weak defense, it is unlikely that they will do well. West ham has conceded the highest number of goals in the premier league. The team has conceded 43 goals in 21 matches.

[tbterryboy]

No one expects they will sack Amorim because I think he didn't lose many of is games just a draw but they used it against him now that he as leave Manchester United, and am hearing that former Chelsea coach is the one that will replace Amorim, he can't manage Chelsea well how can him manage Manchester United when they have many issues, because i don't think is only coach that is Manchester United problem this season the players also get there problem and if they didn't continent there self the coach can't control the players but if they have units all the players they have can do well and make the team win trophies.

Sacking coaches is common but having sacking in this situation is worse because now everyone looking good improvement into their performance, and they are having good chance of staying into top 6 teams in Premier League table but no one can do anything with things are going to be on lowest level.

Last two games against the lowest spots teams were not as expected but still it's going to be good because they have 6 points from 5 games with 1 win and 3 draws this is also not bad now with new coach many things are going to be changed and players also going to be face problems with new strategy and new coach they needed to be wait till end of this season because this can give them better time and way of handling this.
