Bruno Fernandes is such an important player for Manchester United now.



The captain is the assists leader in the league by far. He has scored 5 goals too which equals to 17 score contribution in 21 matches. That's just great work!

But it feels like he will leave the team this summer. Because of having a bad relationship with the owners which he already mentioned in an official statement... I wonder with whom they will fill his place then.

Manchester United needs Bruno Fernandes more than he needs them. Even as a rival fan, I can’t deny Bruno Fernandes brilliance. He’s right next to KDB in my books. Such a great player, even when Manchester United were struggling, Bruno Fernandes was the onlhtoo bad he may not lift the premier league title with Manchester United. I’m curious to see if Bruno will be the one to break Thierry Henry’s record.

Yes, Bruno Fernandes was at the helm of Manchester United even during their worst times. He was like a captain trying to save his ship from sinking. Considering Manchester United is in a much better position now, Bruno Fernandes played a significant role in that. During a period when many were leaving the team, he held a crucial position. Now they have a new manager and Manchester United are playing with hope for the future. They have currently climbed to fourth place in the Champions League standings. They aim to stay in this position until the end of the season, and hopefully they can achieve it because we really miss seeing them in Europe.

I wouldn't agree to any rumors of Fernandez leaving Manchester United soon because until he leaves because he loves the club and plays with passion. Bruno Fernandez was the only player that was able to maintain his performance rescuing United out during the time that United was in crisis.

He is a key player in the team and everyone knows this including himself Fernandez. I believe that Carrick will talk to him to stay back and settle whatever issues he has with the management. Manchester United don't need to lose any player in their current squad.

Indeed for the last week they managed to win with a very good score but that is not a guarantee for Liverpool, especially their conditions which always rise and fall quickly, making the situation still uncertain.
Some new players last week gave outstanding performances including for Wirtz and Ekitike who played very well but this still cannot be used as a benchmark because seeing in the last few weeks Liverpool can always play well but then in the following week they always look bad and this condition could happen again next week.

What is clear is that if their performance does not change then it is still a good thing at least to compete again in the race for positions in the Champions League because for the problem of champions they are very late for that but if the performance is still unstable and still up and down then it is very difficult for Liverpool to say they are still capable enough to compete this season.

Premier league table is having too many changes with all top teams are facing problems just because of this no guaranteed about which team will be staying in top ranks, just top three have some space for staying on their spots. 3 are fighting hard for 4th spot which is now too exciting to follow and predict.

Liverpool facing serious troubles in Premier league even they were looking better, but now they are on brink of losing this 4th spot due to their worst performance, upcoming game is going to be important for them and in case of win, they will be able to have some chance of staying in hunt for top 4 but in case of lost their chances with Arne Slot job could be in deep trouble because now there is no enough space for staying with his strategy.

Mateta isn't going anywhere this winter as it seems. The deal with Milan is also off!



He had his medical there but the transfer was cancelled immediately after it. Because he has a knee problem which could even require him to be sidelined for a few months at least...

In this case no other team would like to sign him as a result. Juventus was also after him a while ago. I had doubts about him in the Serie A also.

Bruno Fernandes has been Man united most outstanding player since the past season he is the club most important player now, i heard that he will be leaving Man united at the end of the season but i don't think this going to work now that Micheal Carrick is building his team if he is having any issues with the owner of the club i believe they will resolve it out, if he leaves Man united they will find it difficult to get his replacement player like Bruno Fernandes is difficult to find now Man united is lucky to have him.

Now with Manchester city and Aston Villa dropping points yesterday it a big boost for arsenal in their chase for winning this season premier league, they just need to now more consistent in the league. I know this period is when it get tough as every team is now looking to put points together, but if you want to be champions this is what it takes.

For me I think Arsenal will win the premier league this season, they are in a very good position now, they just need to keep it going.

We will never know what is going to happen next. When Arsenal were dropping points, almost everyone was thinking that Manchester City and Aston Villa would continue with their consistency and keep putting pressure on Arsenal. But they forget that games are always unpredictable. So, for now, it will be better if we just continue observing.

Despite this, we know that Arsenal have a higher chance of winning this season’s league than any other team, but it is still very possible for Arsenal to drop points. I will only believe that Arsenal will win the title when there are about five matches left for the season to end and the points gap is around eight points. At this point, I can’t say Arsenal will win it, but I see them as the number one favourite because they are at the top of the table.

And the reason is that we know Arsenal for this kind of situation they have lost chances like this for three seasons now. Sometimes, Arsenal are not playing like the favourite team to win the league; they play like a team fighting for a top-four spot. If Liverpool or Manchester City were in great form this season, I don’t think Arsenal would still be at the top of the table.

[savetheFORUM]

Arsenal did a good job against Leeds on Saturday, they need to send a message to the other teams that are not ready to give up the top spot and they did it in style. They now have a 6 point gap at the top after Manchester City drew against Tottenham yesterday and Aston Villa lost to Brentford. I think Arsenal just need to keep winning the next 5 matches and they will definitely extend the gap to 9- 10 points,  because I think Manchester City will drop more points. They are definitely the favorite for the premier league this season and they are not showing any signs of dropping from the rop spot soon.

After few poor results, now their confidence is back Leeds United frustrate few big teams but at Elland Road, but Gunners have their best with big margin gives them good boost and also allow them to have increased their points difference against their opponents.

Still It's too early to speculate about few things but now mostly big teams are having inconsistency, this creating some interesting situation about how things will be at the end of this season. Manchester United entry in top four is amazing while Chelsea and Liverpool both losing their momentum.

Overall, upcoming few matches will be giving better and clear view about league table but most chances there could be not big changes expected.

You just said my mind bro. They are favourite as it stands, but nothing is promised yet, we still have lots of games to go, and they have to fight it out, and they have to prove to people that they can, no longer saying it with the mouth, but there actions should tell and convince people otherwise.

Yea, they lost it for three seasons in a row now after raising hopes that they will win, but there is a little different thus season, and thats there squad depth, it's never like before. Every wing or position is almost two to three players, and not just anyhow players, good players that can stand. So I feel this year might be there season to celebrate, but yet, nothing is promised. If they don't don't fight harder, they might loose this, and it won't be a good one for them and history. They have to do all they can to win this

But it feels like he will leave the team this summer. Because of having a bad relationship with the owners which he already mentioned in an official statement... I wonder with whom they will fill his place then.

Bruno Fernandes isn't going anywhere. At least anytime soon. I guess all this is coming from an interview he did December of last year. I think he was hurt cause of the indifference shown by the board if he wanted to leave. In my opinion, they should strive to keep him on the team as he's an amazing player that's invaluable to the team. And his commitment to the success of the team is also note worthy. He may not necessarily have the best relationship with the board, i still don't think he has a bad relationship with them as they still recognize how important he is to the team.
The team is looking better as they play more in sync with each other. Looking at the squad, they're looking good to finish strong this season and become a strong contender for the title next season.

It's actually a bit of an exaggeration to say that Manchester United needs Bruno Fernandez more than the other way around. It's an exaggeration because it seems to imply that Bruno Fernandez is bigger than Manchester United itself, as if the ship is smaller than its captain.

It's an exaggeration, but it's true that Manchester United currently needs a loyal player capable of consistent performance. We've seen Bruno struggle in the previous two seasons, and this will be his third with the Red Devils, and he remains an irreplaceable field general. Rumors often suggest he will leave Old Trafford, but rumors are just that: the Portuguese player remains loyal to the Red Devils despite the ridicule that often comes his way when the team's performance declines. And now, after seeing numerous changes and managers come and go, Manchester United is slowly returning to winning ways, and Bruno Fernandez is still there.

Definitely it will be very difficult for Michael carrick to let Bruno Fernandes leave the club, as we have known that he is one of or most important player in Manchester United. For now I don't see to see the information been truthful but I don't know how truthful it is though. But for now let's hope he doesn't leave the club, because we can see how important Bruno is to the club, very important player that Manchester United can not do without.

Bruno Fernandez's impact on the team is purely class, he score goals, assists and also gives that leadership charisma, that can’t be replace that easily. Even if his relationship with the board is not that perfect, it doesn’t automatically mean he is leaving. The club clearly knows how important he is and the way the team is starting to click again shows his influence on the pitch. If United are serious about competing, keeping Bruno should be a priority for them

Arsenal form this season is exceedingly great and it is beginning to look like they will win the premier league this season but it is not certain yet. The game they played against Leeds united I was thinking it will be challenge to them because of how Leeds united can play sometimes but they defeated them so cheaply and easily making them stand firm at the top of the league and Manchester city has given them little gap again which is another big advantage for Arsenal.

Manchester city isn't reliable anymore,fans can take them serious as they used to because they are in a poor form. They were closer to arsenal but then arsenal has widen the gap again to six points. Manchester city is unsure of themselves,they have low confidence in  winning the league which is why they have been performing poorly lately. Manchester city 2-2 draw against Tottenham has worsen their chances of catching up to Arsenal. If pep guardiola doesn't do anything about city bad form they may never catch up to arsenal in the table.

Does it mean Bruno Fernandes will not leave Manchester United till he will retire from football match, i know when Manchester United is done using him to achieve what they want, they will start looking for team to sell him to and by then it will make some teams not to show interest like the way he was young,  indeed Manchester United have benefited from Bruno Fernandes performance because he had many Manchester United in mind to make the team still popular till now, and if care is not taking they will use the advantage of their new coach to win next season title because they are capable to do what they have not done over few tournaments in the premier League competition.

Manchester City drew, but they played against Tottenham, a tough opponent. Any team, including Arsenal, can drop points against Tottenham. They came out of a difficult match that ended 2-2. However, the points difference isn't that large, only six points. This is a manageable gap. If Manchester City becomes more consistent, Arsenal will definitely drop points.

Unpredictable performance of Manchester City loss three points by facing Tottenham Hotspur with inconsistent performance last several games in premier league, its bad result not only for Manchester City but also the Citizen right now have remaining 6 points behind Arsenal at current standings position awhile. This several time for The Citizen gap 6 points after last week success pressure become 4 points and have left 6 points again for this week, now Manchester City focus for The EFL Cup semifinal for second leg match against Newcastle United and has difficult match in this week at premier league by facing Liverpool.

Honestly speaking, Chelsea has one of the biggest fan bases in the EPL and I doubt a true fan will underate there club, plus I even think they were overhyped one period especially the last part of Maresca and one period during last season but I don't want to judge Rosenior now but that comeback win against West Ham tells us alot about the type of manager he is.

Chelsea football team won easily at the end of the match. That team did 3 goals in this match and we saw all moments of the match and five players did goals in this match. Bowen was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 7 minutes of the match and he tried to give good start to his team and we saw second goal at 37 minutes And that was by Summerville . Chelsea team overall performance was good in this match because their stats was excellent in this match and possession percentage of that team was 71 percent in this match and we saw very less time that kind of possession and passes were also more in number and these were 673 in this match

The players did a good job but more praises should be given to coach Liam Rosenior for reading the game and making the right changes at the right time, if it were Enzo Maresca he could've allowed Garnacho to continue playing due to favouritism but Rosenior did what's best for the club.

 Garnacho really messed up in the first half, gave many wrong passes and couldn't dribble successfully if he wasn't subbed it would've been an issue for Chelsea. Enzo Fernandes is a great player he always shows up for Chelsea in big games and I love him.

One thing I like about enzo Fernandez is that everything he shows this zeal to always win games. He fights for the ball as if his whole life depends on it. He has the fighting spirit of a lion. Little wonder he tattooed lion on his back. Hahaha !
I  see him like the frank lampard of our generation.
Although I didn't see him during the clash between jaoa Pedro and Adama. Omor that guy is a beast sha.
 
 Speaking of Garnacho. I've observed 5 specific areas where i think he needs to improve as a player;

 1. His work rate is very poor if not on the average. What I mean is that since he can't dribble , if he loses the ball to an opponent. He doesn't get it back and if ever he does he loses it again almost immediately. He can work on this!

  2. He's not defensively inclined. Defense is from top to bottom . it's not only for the defenders. He should understand that defense is the best form of attack!

 3. He lacks adequate dribbling skills. This has Made it difficult for him to get past his opponent and when he does he loses the ball almost immediately and this gives the opposition a counter attack opportunity which usually cost some goals.

4. His final third decision sometimes are very poor. He doesn't know the right teammate to pass to sometimes.
He makes very poor passes most times too. This has many times hinder goal scoring opportunities.

5. He wants to score all the goals if possible. He's that kind of player that want to score to fans admiration. It sometimes doesn't work like that. Very recently, I noticed lamine yamal does more assisting than goal scoring and he's name hasn't changed from who he is.

 He should learn because Chelsea is a big club and the expectations are very high.

Sunderland is beating Everton 3-0 in a match that many people, including me, saw as a draw. I don't know what went wrong with Everton but the are getting overpowered and beaten without mercy. Earlier in the season, it was looking like Everton was going to be relegated but they picked up and worked their way close to the Europa league qualification. But their recent performance does not seem they will go for Europa because the many draws and the loss of tonight have drawn them backward.

Sunderland played against Burnley not Everton abe they won 3:0. The game was never seen as draw because Burnley is not a strong team when compared to Sunderland so the win was what was expected and they took every chance they had to score. Right form the very beginning Sunderland has been doing great but Burnley has been underperforming today they good not make any attempt, no shots on target Sunderland dominated they deserved the win.

Now with Manchester city and Aston Villa dropping points yesterday it a big boost for arsenal in their chase for winning this season premier league, they just need to now more consistent in the league. I know this period is when it get tough as every team is now looking to put points together, but if you want to be champions this is what it takes.

For me I think Arsenal will win the premier league this season, they are in a very good position now, they just need to keep it going.

We will never know what is going to happen next. When Arsenal were dropping points, almost everyone was thinking that Manchester City and Aston Villa would continue with their consistency and keep putting pressure on Arsenal. But they forget that games are always unpredictable. So, for now, it will be better if we just continue observing.

Despite this, we know that Arsenal have a higher chance of winning this season’s league than any other team, but it is still very possible for Arsenal to drop points. I will only believe that Arsenal will win the title when there are about five matches left for the season to end and the points gap is around eight points. At this point, I can’t say Arsenal will win it, but I see them as the number one favourite because they are at the top of the table.

And the reason is that we know Arsenal for this kind of situation they have lost chances like this for three seasons now. Sometimes, Arsenal are not playing like the favourite team to win the league; they play like a team fighting for a top-four spot. If Liverpool or Manchester City were in great form this season, I don’t think Arsenal would still be at the top of the table.

When exactly can we call it? Like genuinely asking.

You say wait till five matches left an eight-point gap. Fine. But Arsenal are six points clear NOW and City just threw away a 2-0 lead on Spurs. They keep doing this . Chelsea, Brighton, United now Tottenham. Every single time they are getting ahead and just stop playing in the second half.

And I'm supposed to believe they're all of a sudden going to rattle off fifteen wins in a row the way they used to?

Everybody is still waiting for 2023 Arsenal to arrive. The Arsenal that collapsed when Saliba got hurt. But that team couldn't defend! This Arsenal have conceded seventeen goals in the whole season. City have conceded twenty-three and their entire back line is in the medical room till May.

Villa lost to Brentford who played with ten men for half of the match. Liverpool are sixth.

Arsenal have hurt many of us in the past. But this "let's just observe" thing is like whoops we're ignoring what's actually going on because we're scared to be wrong.
