English Giants Triumphs as United Fell at Young Boys' Feet.
Yeah!
I wouldn't say it's unpredictable but I feel it's unbelievable! As a fan of Manchester United, I still never expected united to lose the match to Young Boys even with the red card. All these occurrences just keeps pointing to that fact that Ole Gunnar might not be matured enough or good enough for United.
Liverpool's experience in their opening match for this season's UCL was also quite scary too. I know and also believe in the strength AC Milan has acquired as a team in the last two seasons but without so much experienced players in the squad for the match, I sincerely believe it was going to be a huge win for Liverpool but it's turns out to be football match that you have to watch every bit of it even as you predict.
The link ups within Salah and Mane hasn't been so great like it use to be for about a season now and this has really been causing Liverpool so much as a big team in Europe. They haven't been able to secure just more goals like they use to. If it were to be those days with heavy attacks from both Mane and Salah, it would have been a huge rain of goal at Anfield few days ago.
I am not literally saying Mane and Salah aren't good players anymore, I am only pointing out the fact that they are lagging in their competitive spaces. If these two Red machines had been so great this season, Liverpool would have secured a win against Chelsea's ten men in the EPL, they would have secured more than +1 goal in their first match in the UCL against AC Milan.
Let all give the applaud to Henderson for his beautiful strike that actually helped Liverpool see a victory in the UCL match against AC Milan. At the moment, Liverpool doesn't really have any big injury problems and it amazes me to see them play with less threat like this, and to a very large extent, I'm so convinced they can't claimed the league title this season.
Were you privileged to see Chelsea's UCL match? What do you think of Zenit's physicality?
I think it's normal that as a Manchester United fan, one is prone to supporting all English teams in a competition such as the UCL expect when two English teams are to face each other.
I didn't just support Chelsea, I also strongly believe they were going to win but I was quite shocked at what I saw Zenit played. The underdog played Chelsea with so much physicality and as some point I was scared because they almost had a clean goal towards the ending of the match.
I think with the couple of occurrences in Chelsea's performances for the past few weeks, the importance of Lukaku can not be overemphasized. Before the transfer window, Chelsea needed just a striker and luckily for them, they got one of the best in the world at the moment. I really don't see a reason why Chelsea should go trophy less this season, but the trophy that could be claimed, I can't say!
I have actually seen less of Timo Werner in Chelsea since the arrival of Lukaku, shall we now call him a significant depth in Chelsea's squad or he's now less needed?
We all know Chelsea has a lot of players but then, for a player like Werner not to have this playing time anymore, I don't really feel good about it. For me, he's definitely not contesting against Lukaku but let's see him play alongside Lukaku!
Shall we trust Manchester City again?
I personally did trusted Manchester City last season to win the UCL and it really pricked my heart when they eventually lost it to Chelsea. They sure do know how to start well but winning the European trophy has been just so tough for them. Well, I am a Man of consistency, and I believe sooner or later, they'll claim the UCL trophy.
For more than 3 seasons, City has been the one with best qualities of depths in teams and these has always been their best card to play against injury cases. It has helped them win so many matches and let's just take a look at this recent 6 goals to 3 victory against RB Leipzig in the UCL, it is quite easy to point out some fresh legs in the starting lineup. De Bruyne, Zinchenko, and Ake have not really played so much in the league this season and for Pep to have trusted them well enough to start in the UCL, it only shows how much quality that is embedded in the full squad.
You never heard Grealish was a waste for £100?
I've heard that couple of times until the English man got his first goal for City, and having him score his first goal in the UCL against Leipzig wasn't a shocker for me, he's that good and he'll always get his space.
What shall we say United problem is at the moment?
I wouldn't say the squad isn't good or it lacks depth. United is as good as fine this season. The mistake from Bissaka in the UCL was quite a normal occurrence but it could have been managed well if only Ole Gunnar was or is really that experienced.
In order to heal the fans, I'm sure United is definitely going to make it tough on Westham on Sunday. Though Westham is currently nursing a great form but at the same time, United would strive to break walls on Sunday.
I easily get tired these days trying to think or analyze what United's problems are but I've come to hand a conclusion that if Ole Gunnar doesn't pick up any trophy this season, he should be shown the way out. That's just the best picture I can paint for now.

It was really surprising, the come back was something else, considering the fact that Manchester united had a red card...
