Manchester United next match will be against Aston villa which I don’t even think Manchester United will be able to win Aston villa. Just because Manchester United were able to win Roma doesn’t mean the same thing is going to happen in their next premier league match. We all saw how terrible Manchester United played in the first half of the match, their performance improved in the second half and they were able to get a win in the match, but that doesn’t change the fact that their performance is terrible.

Aston villa are not consistent this season also, their performance has not been so good, but they should be able to get a win against Manchester United. If Aston villa cant win Manchester United, then the match might end as draw, but I don’t think Manchester United will win Aston villa.

At the end of first half Roma was leading by 2-0 but they failed to defend that lead in second half and end up losing game in the end. Roma missed a good opportunity to secure victory in champions league. As far as game between Villa and United is concerned, both teams are doing almost same this season and it's difficult to predict the winner.

The gap between points of top three teams is now very low and I am interested in Man City next match against forest because they have lost two games in a row and a further loss might strip them from second position also.

For now we shouldn’t be excited by Manchester United performance against Roma. Although they played well on second half of that match which no one expected it from them due to their recent performance all this days.

For now no one will even think that Manchester United will be able to win Aston Villa, even their fans knew that they can beat Villa this weekend, their performance in Premier is so bad that man utd has become a mockery club. That they won Roma doesn't mean they've got their form back, although they tried with that great comeback they did in second half and we're not sure if they'll perform well this weekend playing against Villa. Just imagine playing Premier matches they just in 1 match which is Ipswich town since then they were unable to win match.

Manchester United’s desperate struggles on the pitch and their persistent inability to secure a win have left their fans fed up. The Manchester United that once struck fear into its opponents is long gone. As for Aston Villa, they are currently focused on claiming all three points this weekend. I hope Manchester United can finally turn things around and secure a win in this match, though their current level of play is hardly impressive.

As far as game between Villa and United is concerned, both teams are doing almost same this season and it's difficult to predict the winner.

Manchester United on a normal day is not a bad team if not that they seams to be struggling of late. Loading 2:0 in the first half is enough to destabilize them big time after their consistent record of looses but someway, they found a way of going into the game in the second half and changing things entirely. That’s the beauty of the game of football, in it usual form, it’s very unpredictable.

In their next game, how they perform against Aston villa at old trafford will tell if this last win is a coincidence or that they’ve actually started getting things right. Especially when we consider that in the premier league, they are already sitting at the bottom of the premier league table. Losing becomes far from the possible option.

[UpTober]

I have honestly forgotten in a rush that Real Madrid came back to win that Champions league fixtures against them. But then, I will be that last person who will be carried away by that subpar performance from the Manchester United squad and also tactical plans of the manager. I genuinely would have loved seeing Manchester United lose that game but they showed up right and correctly. They have to fix the backline because we are seeing too many goals conceded. Manchester United should be up against Aston Villa next and I highly doubt if they emerge as victors from that game come weekend.

Yes Roma did same thing against Real Madrid which was understandable considering the experience of Real Madrid but doing it against against Manchester United is just unfortunate. Manchester United performance against Roma should never blindfold anyone to believe that they will perform better onwards because I see that winning against Roma as luck which they can run out of that luck in their next fixtures. I'm even feeling for Manchester United already because Aston Villa will probably transfer the aggression of losing to Barcelona on Manchester United. But if Manchester United manage to win Aston Villa then we can trust them to go on winning streak.

In this case, it may not be right to say that Real Madrid was a tough opponent for them, so their preparation was good. But Manchester United's performance was not good, so their preparation was not good. They performed quite well against Manchester United in the beginning, but towards the end of the match they made the same mistakes as they did against Real Madrid.

In that match against Real Madrid, they were leading by three goals and in the last few minutes, Real Madrid made a great comeback against them. I think the substitutions they made at the end did not work properly, but rather the flow of the game was ruined because of those substitutions.

Roma will probably regret the most this season because of their haphazard performance at the end. If the performance at the end had been as consistent as at the beginning, the Italian club would have had wins against Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Even two consecutive defeats are unusual for City, that's quite a lot for them. So I think they should beat Nottingham Forest, or at least avoid defeat. It's hard to imagine City losing three Premier League games in a row, I'd say the defeat to Aston Villa was more of a fluke because City completely dominated that match. As for Brighton, I don't know the game was decided by just one goal, and City dominated that match as well, so I expect City  not lose this game.

[knowngunman]

I think Liverpool and Manchester United just switched places temporarily, maybe this weekend they will switch back to their normal selfs, smiles, like what was that awesome performance from Manchester United, to the extent I came to a conclusion that those losing from Manchester United was by choice, like they made AS Roma remain on the seven shots they got from the first half till the final whistle, like if Manchester United can play this good why haven't they be winning games in the English premier league, please I want to know.

What did I just read 

No one expected that comeback from Manchester United against Roma. That's why I normally say united problem is not just about the coach and changing him won't get them the result if the players are not willing to play along.

The players don't usually play to expectation in most of their match and when they lose, people switch the blame to coach. I'm not saying the coach is fault free, he has his own flaws too but most defeat is as a result of the players failing to live up to expectation.

Manchester United really show they still have something to offer in the English premier league campaign this season, judging from what they played AS Roma, like it's not every team in the English premier league that can make such come back, so I still believe they can still end up in a good position this season regardless of their poor performance, and for the game between Manchester city and Nottingham forest, it's certainly a win for Manchester city, because a draw on that game is not even acceptable by the fans, so they need to secure a win on that game.

The expectations you are raising about Manchester United may not be easy for them to implement. The win against Roma will provide a temporary reprieve for Carrick and the team has a temporary break from the losing streak. The team's next match in the Premier League will be against Aston Villa, in which you may see the previous series of poor performances.

In the match between Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, City is undoubtedly ahead and they will win the match. This is because Nottingham Forest has been in a very bad state of recent performance. In 9 matches they have played, they have won only 1 match, lost 5 and drawn 3 matches and the team is almost at the bottom of the points table.

“Maybe” implies uncertainty. Liverpool is definitely not swapping places with Man United. Liverpool is in the top four, and Man United is below Coventry—a team that was just promoted this season.
Even after beating Roma, Manchester United’s stability remains in question because the roster hasn’t changed. What I mean is, the players are still the same—with their selfishness that often leads them to blame the situation when they’re falling behind.
I’m not defending Liverpool or blaming Manchester United. Between Liverpool and Manchester United, Liverpool is the better team.

Naturally, Liverpool is in a much better position right now. We are all well aware of Manchester United’s dismal state; following last year, they find themselves in a disappointing position this season. Many expected them to finish in the top six, but they have failed to deliver the desired performance ever since the league began. It would be quite misguided to draw a comparison with Liverpool, as I believe Liverpool is in a significantly better shape than Manchester United this year.

Exactly. These players are not willing to put their all to play for the club and that shows in their performance in every match. Their last game agsinst Roma was one of their best performances this season, if not the best performance and they truly deserved the win. That win was a boost to their confidence and I believe that their next game would be better.

Michael Carrick has remained hopeful with the club and has always protected the players inspite of their bad performance, that's an attitude that is deserving of a coach and I hope this season becomes better for him at the end.

I’m using the word “maybe” here—maybe they’ll do the same thing they did toward the end of last season ^{in the second half}, perhaps starting right after the win over Roma. But I’m not too sure that will happen. The best-case scenario is a top-10 finish.
On the one hand, we have to emphasize that what we’re discussing is the English Premier League, where, as we’ve seen, anything can happen. This reinforces my view, even though I’m also using the word “maybe” in this post.

Those players in United are just receiving fat pays and don't want to put in all their best for the club. They're lucky to be in United but they cannot protect the badge. They're only after their pay if not why will they be playing as if the club is forcing them to play on the pitch.

I'm not seeing any passion of victory burning in them and that's what is causing one defeat to another. I wouldn't say that, their victory against Roma will motivate them because it's a norm that even a small weak team will definitely win one out of ten matches and I believe that was what played out that day.

Especially when we consider that in the premier league, they are already sitting at the bottom of the premier league table. Losing becomes far from the possible option.

Despite their impressive comeback from a 0-2 deficit against AS Roma in the UEFA Champions League, I predict that Manchester United will struggle when they face Aston Villa this week. I have a feeling that Manchester United will not win this Matchweek 10 Premier League encounter. Looking at the current statistic Aston Villa sits in 10th place with 12 point, while Manchester United near the bottom in 17th place with 7 point. It will be very difficult to overcome an Aston Villa side that plays an open attacking style and quality players especially while Manchester United remains in such poor and inconsistent form. My advice do not bet on a Manchester United win in this match. You might consider a draw or taking a handicap option.

[len01]

Let’s not forget that this loss came against a team that hasn’t won any game all season in the champions league, the same team that Aston villa loaded 6 to nothing!

Isn't it reasonable for Fenerbahce to beat Liverpool despite never having won before? This is not the first time a weaker team has beaten a side with a much stronger squad. As I said before the match, Fenerbahce had extra motivation to fight for their first victory.
Meanwhile, Liverpool seemed to underestimate the match by leaving key players like Isak on the bench until the second half. Had Isak started from the beginning, the result might have been different.

So, I don't think Liverpool's defeat was as bad as Man United, who have suffered two consecutive losses.

There is a big difference in the performance of Liverpool and Manchester United this season. A comparative analysis of the two teams shows that Liverpool has played 9 matches so far, of which they have won 4, lost 2 and draw 3 matches and are currently in 5th position with 15 points.

Having played the same number of matches, Manchester United has won 1, lost 4 and draw the same number of matches. This team is in a very pitiful situation. The team is in 17th position in the table with only 7 points.

By looking at the above statistics, you can understand how weak Manchester United is and their chances of turning around are very low.

[Alex077]

As far as game between Villa and United is concerned, both teams are doing almost same this season and it's difficult to predict the winner.

But I don't think United have recovered from their defensive problem or full Premier League form with a good second half. Besides, Villa are not showing consistent performances in all the matches. Let's see which team can minimize their weakness and play.

In United's case, it is important to maintain defensive organization and intensity from start of the match. Mind you, if Villa can exploit United's defensive gap then they can pose threat at Old Trafford as well. In terms of betting, this match is likely to be draw

The Manchester United match against Roma was full of surprises, in facts, no one expected the comes back from Manchester United as everyone were already vague for Roma to defaet them easily. That match is a pure lucky for Manchester United, if not because of the luck and lack of coordinating, Roma would have won the match, although at times we don't really need to be looking down on any teams, despite thier poor performances in the previous matches.

Today we have Everton playing against Coventry City, I know many people surely bet on Evaton to win, buy somtimes any teams that's just a little far away from relegation standardngs are very dangerous, because you may see what you don't expect. Well let's see what's going to happen between Evaton and Coventry City tonight.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Man City have a tougher game than Arsenal tomorrow. City are away at Nottingham Forest and Arsenal play at home against Hull. It’s looking like it will be a 2 horse race, I do not think Brighton will stay where they are.

Liverpool travel to Crystal Palace, we have to win after consecutive defeats, it has not been good enough recently.

[Gentle_Soul]

Manchester United next match will be against Aston villa which I don’t even think Manchester United will be able to win Aston villa. Just because Manchester United were able to win Roma doesn’t mean the same thing is going to happen in their next premier league match. We all saw how terrible Manchester United played in the first half of the match, their performance improved in the second half and they were able to get a win in the match, but that doesn’t change the fact that their performance is terrible.

Aston villa are not consistent this season also, their performance has not been so good, but they should be able to get a win against Manchester United. If Aston villa cant win Manchester United, then the match might end as draw, but I don’t think Manchester United will win Aston villa.

At the end of first half Roma was leading by 2-0 but they failed to defend that lead in second half and end up losing game in the end.

Manchester united has already starting off with a very bad record that will take a very serious and intensive effort to bring them back on track I can't say they can't bounce back again but then it's gonna be very difficult for them to keep a very good position at the end of the season. 
As for Manchester city I know they are supposed to win. AS Roman but don't be surprised that they might end up draw in that game some of this big teams likes disappointing there fans when they meet a smaller team compared to them let's watch and see how it goes between them.
