Amorim records a second loss as Manchester United manager. Despite this, I still believe Ruben Amorim has what it takes to be able to succeed at the club and even perform more better than Erik ten Hag. With the positive impact he has brought to Manchester United so far, I believe the process of rebuilding a project takes time. We have seen what he is capable of and I am sure he can be able to replicate his success in Sporting at Manchester United in due time.

It is true that big changes cannot happen overnight. The process of rebuilding a team takes time and patience. However, Manchester United really needs positive changes right now to improve their position in the Premier League and in UEFA. Amorim has the potential to bring about such changes, but he must find a way to make an impact more quickly. Fans and management certainly hope for significant developments so that the club does not fall further behind its rivals.

The next transfer window will be open and next season Manchester City should definitely buy some quality players in some important positions so that Manchester City can return to good performance again.

Have you forgotten that Manchester City are entangled in many charges regarding their budget? they could recruit players but this might add to the problems for them who are struggling to resolve the case I think Man City are keeping a low profile in recruiting players they also still have the best players at the moment we just have to wait for Man City's revival and trust everything to Pep Guardiola.

Yes. Manchester City are entangled in so many charges regarding their spending in the transfer window and assembling a team that some would say shouldn’t have existed but so far nothing has happened to Manchester City. The charges are just there looming over City with no direction. Despite the charges and City not being able to buy players, I still believe Manchester City will come out of this crisis stronger and return to winning ways.

Guardiola had won a match after losing so many points and they lost points again in today's match, the match ended in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

At the beginning of the match, when Crystal Palace scored the first goal in the 4th minute, I predicted that there would be such a result and that Crystal Palace would press because there was no invincible City, and the Crystal Palace players knew what Manchester City It was like and they played to win the match, but it was a draw, but it was still a positive result for Crystal Palace.

It's almost time and Manchester City is yet to score the winning goal, lets wait for the final whistle before we can conclude since anything can happen and for the fact that Manchester City player Rico Lewis just receive a second yellow card, it will be very difficult for City to win this match.

A red card received by one of Manchester City's players after receiving a second yellow card made Manchester City's chances of scoring a goal even more difficult. That's what made the difference in the game in this match despite the slump that is currently hitting Manchester City.
The final whistle has been blown and the result has not changed 2-2. Manchester City even though they are one player short, they still dominate.

The controversial red card made it more difficult for Manchester City to score another goal. Asides that, Manchester City’s performance this season has been a mixed performance, sometimes they are good other times they are terrible, making them to go down the standings. But I think Pep Guardiola has the technical ability to bounce back from this setback and return to winning ways.

I can't believe my eyes Manchester City really lost two points against Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace is a weak team and they are usually about to get relegated in every season because of bad results but now they got a draw against a team like Manchester City while Manchester City got much better players and a coach in this team who could make Manchester City easily won the game but in the end, the game ended with 2-2 result and Pep Giuola is under more pressure because of this result in Manchester City.

Who said crystal palace is a weaker team? but you can say that regardless when you compare it to Man city but it doesn't mean they aren't capable of displacing any team that they come across in any season. if you check their history you will be amazed how they perform sometimes but let's look at it from another angle; even week or at least every 2 weeks there is always a match that keeps people shocked and I believe this game was one of them that a stronger team will be unable to beat the weaker team.

After the performance of Manchester City in their English Premier League game against Crystal Palace, I concluded that the club club's title race have been dashed. I can't remember the last time Crystal Palace dominated a game against Manchester City like they did in that game which I think is a strong indication that the Manchester club needs some fresh legs to get themselves back to their winning ways again. Good result for the eagles who are now sitting in the 16th position of the league table

MU needs a big change to develop the squad. Amorim must immediately carry out a major overhaul of the team to repair all lines. I think if the current players are still in the squad like today, MU will be like this going forward. MU has experienced of mental degradation on the squad, it takes a very long time for Amorim to fix it if the existing players are still on the squad. MU needs new players who can motivate other players to play well because existing player's demeanor has been eroded by old management.

As we can see how Onana created the blunder that led to 2 goals last night. MU needs a thorough reform to all teams.

Manchester City won 3-0 against Nottingham Forest. We thought that City might have returned to form. But Manchester City lost points again against Crystal Palace. It will not be possible for City to occupy the top spot in the table this season. I would even say that it will not be possible for City to qualify for the Champions League if they continue to perform so poorly.

That’s what we get for not waiting for some consistency from these guys before concluding that, they are back. City haven’t been a one man team and it would take just than a single player to revive City as it is. KDB got back in the game and the internet wouldn’t relax it especially, after there win against Nottingham Forest. Of course they had to win, it’s been way much of an embarrassment they’ve been dished of late.
Well, a draw in today’s game wasn’t a bad result but, they eventually got a Lewis red card. That’s yet another problem for the team.

This year is really bad for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola couldn't win this match either. I couldn't understand exactly what happened to Manchester City. Suddenly they started to get very bad results in the world of football. They drew this match too and now Manchester City is at a disadvantage even in the race for second place. I don't know if it will continue like this until the end of the year but I know it is a problem.

[reagansimms]

Manchester City seems to still need a lot of time to be able to return to their best performance. Getting a draw against Crystal Palace is certainly a disappointing result. Because, this match should have been a great opportunity for Manchester City to return to winning ways.

Crystal Palace was able to provide fierce resistance that put pressure on Manchester City, City was very lucky to be able to get a draw because previously they had fallen behind twice. Palace really played well throughout this match, they were able to create several dangerous chances that threatened Manchester City goal. They also managed to build a solid defense that thwarted a number of opportunities for Manchester City who were chasing victory, but the score remained 2-2 until the end of the match. It seems like Manchester City have to throw in the towel in the title race this season after dropping a lot of points in the last few matches, the condition of a team like this makes it very difficult to catch up with the number of points that Liverpool have collected.

Back to back lose from the game against Arsenal and N'Forest. Expect nothing was the clear information I said to most Manchester United fans I know but they thought they was back to the good old and glory days the moment they was beating Everton by four goals to nil.  One thing is sure that they don't have a good squad capable of fighting to win the Premier League competition. Next up will be against City. Will this lose be enough motivation against city and Pep?!

Man United again failed to achieve a positive result after losing to Arsenal in the previous game. It is very painful to see their situation where they are still unable to get out of the slump even though they are being handled by a new coach. Now 16 points off the pace and 10 clear of the relegation zone, dropping six points in two successive games means United are closer to the drop zone than they are to the Premier League title. It's a tough job for Amorim.

You are right. Manchester United's squad needs a total overhaul. Manchester United has a lot of players in their squad. But Manchester United now has to find out which players are suitable for their squad. Manchester United management has to sell extra players. Manchester United has 10 defenders. Even then Manchester United's defense is weak.

Manchester United will definitely have to make big changes in the next transfer window. Extra and unnecessary players will definitely have to be sold. At the same time, Amorim will probably buy some players according to his own preferences. For this, a big fund will definitely have to be prepared. Otherwise, I do not expect stable performance from Manchester United. Manchester United needs to be more conscious about player purchases. Ten Hag has spent a lot of money to buy Antony and Hojlund. But Manchester United is still not getting the expected performance from these two players.

One of the first games today is Fulham - Arsenal. There are only 5 points between these teams by the way. Fulham aren't bad at all I mean. They are quite strong in home games as well with 4 wins in 7 games. However I can't say they have a good home record against Arsenal in general. Arsenal have beaten them most of the time and probably this will be another time to see it happening. 

I can't wait to watch more of their amazing corner organizations. Their set pieces coach really deserves respect. Because these tactics make a big difference for Arsenal while they have very effective players on aerial balls.

Amorim has to deal with the squad with full of inept players. No doubt he's fucking struggle to help them climbing up back again. Too many average players in this squad, and they have none who can at least to carry the club alone.

I think mostly Manchester United players are coming to the end of their cycle. They have to bring a lot of fresh names into the squad. I don't even see meaningful contribution by the current squad. Yeah, they scored, but lost, and nothing different at all.

I don't see the error with Amorim's system, but he implemented it in the wrong players.

Yes Manchester City are in some trouble but at the same time they always get away with it. I don't want to think negatively but my question is is there someone playing behind the scenes? But I hope that is a baseless question and it doesn't happen. I don't know what moves they will make in the transfer market, will they recruit a lot of players or will they stick with what they have now. But when you look at Guardiola, I think he is one of the managers who is quite clever in bringing in players and maybe he will do that in this transfer window.

Manchester City have never looked as desperate as they seem this season. Manchester City are regularly losing against the team against which it could be said that Manchester City will get full points. A performance like this from Manchester City is undoubtedly a huge disappointment. But a club and club management would never want them to perform poorly on a regular basis and even if they have performed poorly unintentionally, they will still try to find ways to get them to perform well again. Manchester City is doing the same but they are not performing well the only reason is that Manchester City currently does not have the players who can give their best performance to win the team.

Amorim felt that his team was incompetent because they were lazy to fight and lacked motivation to achieve victory, this situation made it difficult for him to build a solid squad because there was no chemistry with the players. Amorim must be able to form a starting XI that has a mission to always achieve victory, he must utilize the January transfer market to bring in several players who are considered able to help the team out of the slump. He still has time to make Manchester United one of the teams that can compete in the top six, but he needs support from the team management.

It's very clear Amorim hinted his club was not running enough like what he expected. He has too many lazy players in his squad. His attackers were so damn lazy help in defending.  Meanwhile his defenders are also too often made human errors. This is why i think he wanted players who can perform like an engine. 

It's obvious he's not satisfied with his current squad.

He's indirectly telling the board that the task they're giving him can't be carried out successfully with this current squad and it you observe you'll see that it’s not about the formation or his strategy but some Manchester United players are not up to his standards and needs to leave to suitable players to come in, Amorin's strategy needs players that are mostly fit through the season and are capable of working hard and running to and fro the pitch without getting exhausted for the full 90 mins but this current squad is filled with lots of lazy players that barely mark their opponents properly and gives out the ball easily, which would not work. Well it’s good they've improved in goal scoring unlike before but i think the board new to change their stands concerning the January transfer window, Amorin needs new players he can trust, in some strategic areas to be able to finish in the top 4 this season.
