Michael Carrick is a complete failure, especially his tactics are not working. He has become an unnecessary manager for the team because if someone else had been put in his place, the results would probably not have been so bad. Manchester United should have scored at least 2 goals against Bournemouth but the team could not score any. Carrick should take responsibility for this and he should be fired. I don't understand why the team management still keep him in charge of the team, he is just destroying the team.

I was also talking to my friends about the team's performance and most of them were skeptical about United. In fact, the result of the match was against United.

Isn't this the same guy you people were praising last season?  

I think the Manchester United fanbase has to accept that there is a much bigger problem than just the manager. With all the managers you people have changed over the years, I don't think all of them needed to be sacked because of a certain bad season. They just needed the time to build their team.

Just like that, Michael Carrick is going to be sucked, and Manchester United will be back to a new cycle all over again.

I disagree with you that Michael Carrick is a failure, this was how you guys abused Ruben Amorim last season before he was sacking. Amorim was coaching sporting CP and he was doing perfectly well before Manchester United went and signed him, I believe he must have regretted ever coaching Manchester United because the club want to kill his coaching career and i also believe you saw his coaching work right now in AC milian. Now Carrick took over from Amorim after he was sacked and he did very well by qualifying Manchester United for champions league, they same players that he coached last season and qualify for champions league are still there with his coaching tactics, my question is why can't those players perform the way they did last season? At times we think that coach happen to be the problem why team are not performing well. It's seems the players want Carrick to be sacked before they'll perform well, watch when Carrick will be sack and see their first match will be, Let me tell you it's seems there's a cause following Manchester United but you guys didn't know.

Can't the manager's position be eliminated from Manchester United? I mean, is there any need for the position that is causing this situation in the team? I still don't understand why they are still blaming the manager? After changing 5 managers in the last two seasons, why are these idiots talking about changing the manager?

I think the fans are no longer normal after seeing their team's defeat, they need a psychiatrist. Even the people in the Manchester United management department need a doctor or they need to be fired and given responsibility to healthy people. These people only have eyes on the manager, the manager they hire becomes a bad manager. No manager should come to this team thinking about their career.

Manchester united performance keep getting worse everytime imagine Lossing against Bournemouth with the margin of 3 goals today ! What is going on with Manchester United? I have come to conclusion that the players are not capable enough because even if the coach is not doing well at least the players are supposed to create something. i was actually streaming the match but I got fed up at some point because Manchester united didn't perform like a team that came for wining it as though they are forced to play. I suggest that the board should try and change those  players this time not coach because this is not actually the coach's fault but the players they are very lazy.

I don't know who's fault it may be, but one thing I know is nothing is working at Manchester United, absolutely nothing, who noticed Michael Carrick has apply every tactics he knew if things could change? He's played players on and of position, he even played Bruno Fernandes in the wing if things could work but no way, today he benched them believe this could be okay but still fail, now isn't it obvious the problem is not actually the coach but the players, my question is that Yoro's mistake that led to that second goal, what was that all about, like how can a defender and a last man in that matter made such a huge mistake?

It's a real problem for them now, and I feel so much pity for Micheal Carrick and his boys. What will they do to turn there situations around. There are probability of more loses coming because now, every other team must have seen there weakness and will always capitalize on it. The more they try to be better, the more they are losing games.

It's even more bad that it was the same coach who came towards the end of lat season and won all big teams and turned Manchester united to a great team within a month or more of his presence. It's just so bad that things have turned upside down for him and his boys. Maybe they need more players, but the January transfer window is still very far.

[Rhow]

It was a clear thrashing because from the start Chelsea started showing signs of weakness until they conceded 1 goal, Cole is gradually becoming a wasteful player for the as he's lacking contribution, got a first yellow card for a bad tackle and still went on to getting another bad tackle that result in the red card that the refree hard sent him off the pitch.

Two goals deep into the second half is not a clear thrashing, and the second goal came after the red card shown to Cole Palmer.
I think Chelsea were weak today and Tottenham Hotspurs has the moment coming from a much needed victory in their last match so I never thought that Chelsea was ever going to beat.
Manchester City and Chelsea dropped maximum points and Arsenal picked up maximum points, I believe they are still favorite to win the English premier League.

Chelsea had it coming, the approach from the beginning of the shows Tottenham really wanted this points than chelsea. The game was at Stamford bridge and we expected Chelsea to win but instead they were beaten by their neighbors at their home ground. Today we saw Tel having the best game of his life, he was the man of the match for me, he was causing Chelsea problems all evening.

I think that error from Penders really had a huge effect on that game, chelsea could maybe have get a win if that first goal didn’t go in. I think these games Chelsea will play without Martinez will be a tough one for them, they really need to be worried about penders especially in Arial balls.

Especially when Chelsea played at home, Tottenham managed to create many chances which cannot be called a victory due to luck alone. Chelsea's problems are of many kinds. Speaking of Mike Penders, he did something that was ridiculous. He sent the ball into his own net while handling it. Again, 3 minutes after this incident, Cole Palmer was sent off the field for the second time. Then in the 87th minute, Mathys Tel scored the second goal. Chelsea were behind before Palmer received a yellow card, so it would be unreasonable to say that Chelsea lost the match only because of the red card. Although it must be admitted that Tottenham used the advantage of an extra player after the first goal. Tel's second goal ensured their victory.

Manchester United is the most fragile team in this new season as it surprises us that this team is performing the lowest in UEFA Champions League and Premier League as well. After three consecutive draws many expected Manchester United to find a win but they lost 3-0 against Bournemouth today, it may not have surprised many but it's true that they couldn't score any goals.

Even I noticed that before this match this team conceded four goals against the Italian league club Como in the UEFA Champions League,Accordingly, it can be said that the management and manager of this team have many mistakes because the manager of this team, Michael Carrick, is using all the tricks he knows but still Manchester United has managed to win one match in the Premier League this season

[Adiljutt156]

The last game of the 8th round is underway, with Sunderland looking for a second win of this season while Leeds United is doing a good job and has a good chance of jumping to 5th spot in case of a win a few minutes ago. Liverpool have a big and good win against Brighton; this could be a motivational win for them to have a good end to this season.

Manchester United's crisis is deepened due to having the worst loss at Old Trafford against Bournemouth. Now Michael Carrick is feeling pressure or could be sacked; it's a matter of time. Aston Villa are also doing good after having a good start, but now they are on a good run with 3 wins and 1 draw.

The Premier League has never been easy to predict about anything due to its nature and quality, but coming round is going to be more entertaining, with many big teams going to face each other. Fans are waiting to see how this could be ended.

[B2Z]

The loss of man united is disheartened and highly disappointing, it implies that . Man united has loss it in all because no team that is not flogging them goals like children team that lack training, i hard strong argument with my friends where I stated that man will lose the match because the style of football they played last match has not show they are prepared to take any lead losing in their home where will their home of wining be, already Man united management can be comfortable with the current failing style of the coach even if the condition if any has  already be given.

Surprisingly, Manchester United have not won in their last five matches. If we look at their last five matches in the Premier League, they have drawn three out of five and lost two. The team that was third in the Premier League last season has only managed to collect 7 points from 8 matches so far this season and is currently at the bottom of the points table. I never imagined that the team's performance would be so disappointing. The way they are losing one match after another, it is not impossible for Manchester United to go further down the points table.

I don't think the board reason the same way as we do...I am confident that Michael Carrick is doing his best, but that best will never be appreciated if there are no result to prove it...And before we even know what is happening, the board could just vote on sacking him and then bringing another manager...But doing that wouldn't fix their problem... Their problem is with the players.. Generally they play with no zeal at all, and also like they have nothing at stake.. Their game isn't fun or entertaining to watch infact I am always filled with this intense anger especially when I see them losing to low tier teams which they are supposed to easily win...
As of now, United needs more and better players who are committed to playing and also making winning a must for themselves....

It’s quite funny that last season united fans were saying that if carrick has started season with them they would be  at the top of the table, well, we don’t have wonder anymore, he’s been given the opportunity and he has been terrible, going into this season I was really expecting something from united and carrick. I was expecting him to be in the title race and compete for other cups too but he’s been disappointing!

The real question is where does the club go from here? carrick can’t stay, at the same time who’s going to replace him, and even with that United’s problem is not only the manager but other aspects too, when are they going to address those issues? The poeple at the top are capable of leading this club back to glory

[WatChe]

I understand why you have made Manchester City and Arsenal the title contenders. I think you may have focused more on their 21 points after 8 matches, which is certainly a good start. But it is absurd to say that no other team can challenge them. I think you should have considered Brighton's current situation before saying that. Because Brighton finished yesterday's matches with a total of 16 points from 7 matches. That is, their position is not clear because they have played 1 match less than Manchester and Arsenal. However, if they win those 1 matches in the future, the gap will be reduced to only 2 points. That is why I asked you to consider Brighton.

Brighton no doubt is doing good in this season but they missed a chance to narrow their point gaps with Man City and Arsenal as Liverpool was able to beat Brighton by 2-0. Aston Villa became fist team in current season to beat the top team of current season i.e. Man City. Nicolas Jackson scored twice for Aston villa to end City 100% winning record of this season. Arsenal and Man city both have 21 points and City must win its upcoming matches just to make sure that its first position remain secured.

I don't think this is the 5th match Manchester united has not won any but I think it is the 8th match both in champions league that they have not won anyone and it is very disgusting honestly. I think Manchester united Coach is on a pressure that is why he is finding it difficult to set up his players well because when something like this is happening someone will find it very difficult to put himself in order and I believe that is what is happening to him currently and til he is able to overcome this, he will continue losing.

But what is happening in English Premier League is getting interesting and surprising. See what happened today again as AFC Bournemouth won Manchester United. I could remember how people were posting like Manchester United will be different this season. But that is not new to me as Manchester United will not do as people are expecting. At Old Trafford, AFC Bournemouth won Manchester United 3 goals and nothing was scored by Man U. This is also very disappointing.

It’s not just the result from this match, but we should be honest with ourselves. Manchester United performance is a completely disaster this season. Every team come from away with a full confidence to win at Old Trafford, what was the performance for against Bournemouth? Benching Bruno and Cunah from the XI. We should not make it look like Bruno is their problem, but the entire squad does not worth to be playing for this team.

Carrick is not in position to mana this team. He should be replaced immediately before we could see Manchester United at the bottom of the table. 7 points from 8 games and 1 win in 8 games? It’s a terrible start for him, he needs to leave the club for his own safety.

I never really expected anything different from these players before the match so the loss didn't come as a shock to me. And the fan at Old Trafford made their displeasure and feelings very clear and the good thing is that the fans are more angry at the players than the coach, they echoed Carrick's name at full time and that shows true solidarity from them, because it is beginning to look like those players are just trying to get him sacked and those fans could see through their bullshit.

He's already lost the dressing room so it would be very tough to win matches, you could see he benched Bruno Fernandes and Cunha which is because of a disagreement he had with them. Carrick was already set up to fail from the beginning, the only way things can work out is if the players try to use their individual experience to help keep him till January when more players would be recruited.
 The owners of Manchester United are just so nonchalant about what's happening and it's because they're making money regardless of the club's situation, if fans can boycott matches to show their anger and frustration maybe they'll sit up, the embarrassment every matchday is too much.

[Oluwa-btc]

Isn't this the same guy you people were praising last season?  

I think the Manchester United fanbase has to accept that there is a much bigger problem than just the manager. With all the managers you people have changed over the years, I don't think all of them needed to be sacked because of a certain bad season. They just needed the time to build their team.

Just like that, Michael Carrick is going to be sucked, and Manchester United will be back to a new cycle all over again.

Well, it is obvious that this Manchester United fanbase are as useless as their management and current manager.

They had a manager with proper structure who they can build under but they refused to do that, they went ahead to see him sacked. Now this one has faced the same faith but can not do shit with almost the same club who qualified him for the Champions League competition.

I will also like players like Bruno Fernandes the rat/snake and Harry Maguire the snail to be sacked and chased out! They're more than a virus to our team. Not to also forget, Marcus Rashford.

[pawel7777]

The game against Bournemouth was meant to be a lifeline for Carrick but it turned out to be probably the most embarrassing loss of the season.
While game stats are not looking all that bad for Man United, they made more shots on goal and controlled the ball 62% of the time, the reality is that they could create a single good scoring chance and their defence was simply horrible.
Goals 2 and 3 were just handed to Bournemouth by United defenders/goalkeeper. The level of mistakes is not something that would be expected from a Premier League club. And it could've easily been 5-0 if Bournemouth capitalised on all the gifts received from United's poor defending.

I honestly have doubts about whether Carrick actually wants to carry on as the head coach. Whatever his plan for the team was, it's clearly not working. Maybe he's just not ready to take the lead role of the club at this level of competition.
