I knew United stood no chance against City; even though everyone thought Pep wasn't on form to do too much, but that man comes aboard whenever he figures what the program is, and he did! Infact, you're right -- they were supposed to conceive even more goals than they did. Amorim needs to go back to the drawing board!

Manchester United didn’t pose any threat against City in the game. I also had my expectations high for United to make the game difficult for City but it turned out that It was an easy win for Manchester City in the game. Manchester United have really gone down in performance level, if this continues they will have to battle relegation again this season.

I too had expected Manchester united to put up a good fight and not make it easy for Man city to claim the win. At the very least, I had hoped for a goal or two from United even if they ended up losing the game. It did turn out to be an easy win for Man city.
When they managed to score the first goal, i thought to myself that Man United would begin to struggle more than they already were to equalize. I still hoped for a goal from United. That was until Man city scored the third goal.  At that point, I gave up on United having a goal in that game. Another disappointing performance from United.

Putting a good fight at the end of the day without winning the game still doesn't make any sense, this is two teams that are in the same city, a stronge and a weaker opponent team meeting themselves, and how would it have been possible that Manchester United, will have won the march a disappointment season of theirs that they had a very low rating.

I was expecting Amorim to do good at manchester United, but somehow he is trash right now, nobody can predict this, i mean maybe they cant fight against the teams from the big six, but this actual form is pathetic for a team like Manchester United, and the crisis is only deepening, on how much time they are gonna ask Sir Alex to comeback at 100 years old?

We are really fed up with Manchester United's continuous poor performance and we definitely want it to change. Ten Hag was one of the worst managers in the history of Manchester United and last season they sacked Ten Hag and later Amorim was given the responsibility of the club and it was thought that Manchester United would improve at least a little under this manager. Last season, the team's performance was not good under him and this season he spent a lot of money in the transfer market so this season I expected that Manchester United might return to good performance but this season Manchester United has been disappointing continuously. In fact, what will change the performance of this team is now a big question for the fans.

[Nightwatchmare]

my major concern is Liverpool, like those guys are not really doing what they are expected to do with the kind of money spent in the transfer market and they kind of quality players they've got also, they're not really impressive with their performance, I think they really have to step up their game if they're to win the English premier League title this season

Most people believe Liverpool will just get a east ride to win the English Premier League, but I have never agreed with them,I not saying they can't win it, but it's not going to.as easy as some people predict it. I am glad to read your post, because I get to see someone that shares my view on Liverpool.
I have watch all of Liverpool match this season and I will say that I have not been impressed with the way they have played.  They have spent a lot of money and I expect more from them. I think they have been lucky in all their matches. They have got 12 points now, but that would have also just been 4 points for them too. They really need to get things together if they rely want to win the English Premier League this season.

I have been following the Premier League for quite some years and it is never easy for a club to win the Premier League title because of the competition between clubs in the Premier League. Despite Liverpool spending alot of money this season, it is not a guaranteed that they will win the Premier League title if they don't fight for it and be consistent to win their matches this season. Although Liverpool is yet to lose any match this season, i believe very soon they will drop points because they were very close to doing that against Burnley, but they were saved by a late penalty.

It does make sense. A team trying to put up a good fight with a good performance can still be recognized and applauded even if they finally lost the game at the end. A very recent example of my point is the Burnley vs Liverpool game. Burnley did a good job in trying to keep Liverpool from scoring. And they nearly succeeded if not for the penalty that gave Liverpool the win at the end. We can all recognize their effort as they did put up a good fight but fortunately for Liverpool, they still lost.

Yes, Manchester united was the weaker team in that game but we've seen in football, multiple times where the underdogs surprises everyone and go ahead to win the game against the stronger side.

At the end of the day, the end defined the means. If you are arguing that Manchester United did well against Manchester City, your argument have no base because you can't lose three goals to nil and be  saying that you did well, secondly, if Manchester United are truly doing well they would have accumulated more point than they have done so far, if you are removing their game against Manchester City out of the equation.

So what I'm trying to say is that, doing well without giving the desired result will not give them any point that is needed to move upward in the league table. What's their fan base are currently asking now is result not doing well, they just want to see results and if they can get results they will all be fine.

Amorim bought 5 players and spent 250 million euros in total for them. Is this a big revolution in the squad? No, it isn't.

He only focused on the attacking line and a goalkeeper signing. Or I don't know maybe he had to if he wasn't given more money to spend.

The thing is their defending is still trash. They got better in offense with many more shots but they are still having problems on scoring multiple goals in a game as well.

I have noticed that what has been overwhelming Amorim is that he still believes in the strategy he implemented at Manchester United, which is similar to the strategy he used when coaching Sporting. Amorim will clearly not succeed because his tactics are too monotonous for the English Premier League. Don't be surprised if Manchester United's position in the standings gets worse at the end of the season. There is so much chaos in this club that continues to be unresolved. In the end, I have to admit that bringing in Amorim is no better than Erik Ten Hag.

[KTChampions]

Facing the reality here is that Chelsea was off limit to Bayern Munich form, the English side was kind of luck to have bottled only 3 goals with a 1 goal reply because Bayern Munich players were just all over the field with the ball. Sanchez saves helped in reducing the goals deficit which would have been more than 3 goals.

For the weekend game between Chelsea Vs Manchester United, I would place my bet on Chelsea to win than Amorim side that lacks a winning mentality to trust them with victory against Chelsea. We might get disappointed as it would be just another boring game that would end in a draw.

Bayern Munich were much stronger than Chelsea in yesterday's game, that's true. But perhaps Chelsea were more focused on the game against United than on trying to beat Bayern on their home field? By the way, bookmakers see this game as random:

2.67 - 3.61 - 2.46

Honestly, seeing how poor United are, I'm tempted to bet on Chelsea or Chelsea Double Chance. It feels like a high-value bet. As a United fan it's hard to accept this reality, but that's how things look.

I've said this before but I would like to repeat it again, most of you guys are the still the ones who celebrated when Ten Hag was fired and Amorim was brought in as the new Manchester united team coach, when he resumed duty in the last Premier league season, Manchester united immediately won three or four games straight up and consecutively without any draw, most of us here were jubilating and saying Amorim was the right man for the man united club, I was of the opinion that we give this man time to prove that he was indeed worthy before we begin to celebrate him, but everyone who read that comment back then countered it saying there is nothing else to prove, now look where Manchester united is..

Erik Ren Hag's regime as Manchester united team coach is beginning to look like it was far better than this Amorim's regime because I remember back then, Manchester United was not performing as they supposed to but they always managed to maintain top 7 or top 8 rank in the premier league table, look where they are right now.. 😁

That is not true, how can Chelsea focus on Manchester united game over a champions league game?, this Chelsea fans can give excuse for their poor perforce, you guys should take responsibility of your club poor game with Bayern Munich. Chelsea at the moment is not at Bayern munich level, Chelsea needs to build the team to compete in the champions league, their first game was a disgrace from a club that was crown world champion.

Since you said they were focused on Manchester united game, they should win it. I know it will be a tough game for both team, Manchester united is having serious management issue right now, and their coach is under pressure to win match, this Chelsea will determine his future , if he lose he might be sacked. Chelsea has to be ready to face him. It will end draw, both team are not in good form now.

[Pandu Geddon]

both team are not in good form now.

I think United is not performing well, and Chelsea's performance is still unpredictable. This match could be exciting if both teams really play at their best. But if the strategy makes the game slow, both teams might end up presenting a boring match. This is certainly not what is expected from two big clubs, even though their current performance could be considered mediocre.

No kinda excuse should be giving for that loss Bayern Munich by Chelsea, Munich players  are more professionally experience in the UCL than the bunch of Chelsea recently signed players and that's a big hedge foe them which they clearly executed. It has nothing to tangle with the Manchester United game in the weekend. They needed the UCL points as their first game of the tournament much as they do in the EPL.

Well, everyone thinks Chelsea would win in that encounter and that includes me too, a draw is fair as well.

PL 25/26: MANCHESTER UNITED v CHELSEA

HOLA MOI FAMILIA 👋

We're used to looking for the next coin, breaking charts and poudering on matters of the society. But this weekend (Saturday), a different and special kind of speculation is on the table. One that has an history, long, dramatic and even thrilling as the rise of Bitcoin itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, this isn't just about a rising and falling scheme but a one in a million classic football clash: Manchester United v Chelsea with the reds at home.

NOW LET ME SAUCE IT UP WITH A COOL ILLUSTRATION

Let's think of it to be this way:
Manchester United: The OG, the real deal, the Bitcoin of the football world, Big and Massive, historically dominating in a way only a few can touch their legacy. Although lately they have had some major challenges and swings which has caused Fear, Doubt and Uncertainty in their community (Fans). Their current setup under Ruben Amorim their Portuguese manager feels like a new policy implemented but has got the investors and traders (Gamblers) asking if it will help them gain stability. Their recent 3-0 loss to their noisy neighbors, Manchester City was a brutal dip , and now they are looking to show the market (the world) that they haven't lost their value.

Chelsea: The Altcoin with massive backing and continues supply of capital. They have been through a rebrand (after changing almost their full squad) and are now running a new system under the management of Enzo Maresca. Their performance and form is less about historical glory but their rapid growth and aggressive rise to the top.
They at their own end have also faced their ordeal after a recent loss to German kings Bayern Munich in their first Champions League match of the season and a draw with English side Brentford show that even a well-funded and capitalized project can hit unexpected resistance. But forget not that their roster is packed, with tokens (players) like Alejandro Garnacho, who is now playing for them and will face his old club for the first time.
JUICY RIGHT?!

LET US SEE HOW THE WEEKEND TURNS OUT,  WITH CHELSEA HAVING THE HIGHEST WINS IN THEIR LAST 5 MATCHES AND HAVING A BETTER AND MORE STABLE FORM IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE.

DO NOT FORGET TO GRAB SOME POP CORN COZ YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF THIS MIND-BLOWING SHOW DOWN BETWEEN THE RED DEVILS AND THE PRIDE OF  LONDON, THE BLUES

[qurbanshah02]

To be honest I didn't expect that Amorim that was the best coach in Portugal would switch to Manchester United and become worst, not this worst and it's so frustrating watching them as a fan. I think the board would give him few more matches to safe his job if he lose to Chelsea and the next match after the Chelsea game he's out.

It is a pity for everyone because Manchester United is not improving itself now, which is why they are not giving respect and reward to their coach. If Manchester United and their coach work together, I hope they can really bring something better. If we talk about the performance of the match with Chelsea, I hope they will lose this match because Chelsea is playing very well and strong at the moment, which is why Amorim's job is in danger due to Manchester United's poor performance. If he plays well in this, his job will also be saved and Manchester United will become a strong point.

[Razmirraz]

I knew United stood no chance against City; even though everyone thought Pep wasn't on form to do too much, but that man comes aboard whenever he figures what the program is, and he did! Infact, you're right -- they were supposed to conceive even more goals than they did. Amorim needs to go back to the drawing board!

Manchester United didn’t pose any threat against City in the game. I also had my expectations high for United to make the game difficult for City but it turned out that It was an easy win for Manchester City in the game. Manchester United have really gone down in performance level, if this continues they will have to battle relegation again this season.

The slump experienced by Man United was due to the management's inability to manage the team well, almost all the coaches brought in were useless, including Amorim. The humiliating defeat to Man City further disappointed fans with the team. They were hoping for Man United to perform at their best, but what happened on the pitch was truly unacceptable. This season there is nothing to expect from Man United, they will continue to lose points if Amorim is still maintained, maybe hardcore fans will boycott Man United when they play at Old Trafford and that will be very detrimental to the club.

[ITExpert]

Everything that keeps happening around Manchester United and the bad results the team keeps getting shows how clueless Amorim has been and yet he goes on acting arrogant like he knows what he is doing. I’m sure Zirkzee will be reconsidering his decision to stay at Manchester United past the summer.

I think if Manchester United really wanted to have a good position and wanted to perform better. They strictly need to take their problems on a serious note and find their solutions. Because the new coach of Manchester United is not a good fit for the team. Because if he has some such qualities to grab the team towards the betterments then I think there should be some glimpses which made the team and the fans think about his skills. But as per the results of till now he is not a good choice and the management really needs to find some better options. Because if the performance of the team goes with the same scenario and in the same limited characteristics this results for the team in a terrible situation. Because where the team is really falling now is an alarming situation what the Eric Ten Hag did is more than enough in the sense of damage of Manchester United.

You think if sir Alex Ferguson comes back that he's going to single handedly effect a change that will lead Manchester united to winning of games? Fact is that sir Alex Ferguson is long gone and afterwards, coaches have come, tried thier best and have gone and to an extent, this might not be a coaching or player problem. There are times when things does not work just right even when you're doing the right thing and that might just be what united is facing.

Observe that even with the poor result united has had, they've not been totally awful in Thier play. It's always like they end up working really hard and at the end, there's nothing to show for. it might just be a matter of time before everything eventually comes back to normal and they start doing really well.

No man i was just making a point about how bad the things are in Manchester United, Sir Alex can coach anything right now his health is super poor and this shit players are gonna kill him when he saw them playing and training.

But for sure he wants to punch in the face most of them. Super sad for a guy like him after building a generational team, come this.
