Why Manchester United will Beat Chelsea in the League This Season
Here is Why Erik Ten Hag Manchester United will Beat Chelsea in the League This Season
Timo Werner has a shortage of confidence – says Craig Burley. Chelsea can’t win a league that includes Manchester City, Man Utd, and Liverpool.
You will find it hilarious that last season the Blues were top of the league before December; and had an insane defensive record that the media was saying “this is the best Chelsea team ever” with so little goals conceded. However, if James and Chilwell go down, the team falls apart.
Thanks to Lukaku’s failure, Chelsea have always had this striker curse, rather strange. Diego costa was probably their most recent #9 that did very well.
Why Manchester United will Beat Chelsea in the League This Season
With the recent move to Manchester United, there were great matches and runs that Erik ten Hag had with Ajax in the Champions League over the last couple of years. With exciting football with a lot of pressure and speed, he has managed to get the people excited about the game of football that he and his team plays. He wants to bring this quality to Manchester United in an attemp to beat Chelsea, City, and Liverpool in the league.
It hasn’t taken too long for Erik ten Hag to impose himself at Manchester United, but the Dutchman isn’t getting his own way all the time.
The 52-year-old has become a forceful figure on the club’s pre-season tour, a 16-day odyssey through Bangkok, Melbourne and Perth, the fruits of which have been seen on the pitch. ETH United won three of the four friendlies and only stumbled on the final night as they draw Villa.
Watching Chelsea’s Timo Werner against Arsenal, he struggles to get away from decent CB’s who have a bit of strength and pace. Originally, he was just missing EASY opportunities, but now he looks very limited!!!! He works hard and you can never question that, but he has not got too much to his game and his speed worked in the BUNDESLIGA, but not here in the premier league.
Ten Hag Man Utd looks better than Tuchel’s Chelsea
Preseason winning stats show that Ten Hag Man Utd looks better than Tuchel’s Chelsea who lost to Arsenal by 4-0.
I’m not a Chelsea fan, but every time Timo plays, he gets great chances and plays well, just can’t get the goals. He just lacks confidence in that final target, he’s overthinking even open goals. He needs to spend 8 hours a day thrashing the ball towards goal and believing that when he shoots he’s gonna score. That’s what all great strikers have, belief that every shot will be a goal, if not just try the next shot.
Man Utd have finished their first pre-season tour under Erik ten Hag and the Dutchman made a success of a demanding itinerary.United boss ten Hag has made an impression on the players and the staff. One staff member described his thought process as “football, football, football” and he’s barely switched off on tour.
Timo Werner flop at Chelsea and Germany
It’s not necessarily a problem that Timo Werner needs 5-6 chances to score a goal, as Burley puts it, if he gets those chances. Lewandowski had a goal conversion rate of 22% last season, meaning he needed 5 chances to score. Salah was even worse, needing about 6 attempts, with a conversion rate of 16%. But these players also have 4-5 chances a game on average, because they play for teams that get them in front of goal over and over again. Werner had 3.6 shots on goal in the Bundesliga but only 2.1 in the Premier League. Lukaku had 2.7 shots on goal in Serie A and 1.7 in the Premier League. And if you know that you will only have so many chances, each miss eats away all the more at your confidence. Having a coach like Tuchel, who doesn’t seem the best man manager, probably doesn’t help.
Why Man United Are Premier League Favorites Ahead of Chelsea
Recently, there’s never been a season where Chelsea go in as favorite over United. At least not in a very long time. And this is what I love about the Chelsea team..the players not being comfortable with always a point to prove at the end of it all. Chelsea just need to be lucky with the existing forwards to be the talisman or sign a good goal poacher. Other wise, they create the same number of chances in games as Liverpool and City..the difference being that the other two don’t waste goal scoring chances like Chelsea do. Defense is sorted, the Blues need their forwards to start scoring consistently like Man City and ten hag’s new Manchester United.
There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.
- Ten Hag Says Man United Are on Track
- Liverpool blame themselves for FA Cup loss to Man United
- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
