Criticism is a must, and it's a part of fan's right. Mostly of criticism even came from Manchester United's supporters itself, and it's a common thing. They watched United and paid it with their money, and how can you dictate them?
In fact, their favorite team is awful to watch, placed at the bottom, and nothing delivered so far. Also, United has increased the price of its ticket as well. I see no reason for them to stop send criticism toward Amorim and his squad.

So many big expectation for him, yet they forgot Amorim came from a league with less competition. All of elements should be blamed, and they deserved it.

I think at this point they should just fire everybody. The owners are also not helping at all. Making stupid decisions again and again. More worried about the image of the club and PR stuff instead of actually winning. At this point, I think Manchester United is going to be known as a mid-table club if this goes on for one or two more seasons. They are in the 14th place of the table and lost four matches in the last five. They deserve all the criticism they are getting.

I don't know if Ruben Amorim actually deserves all the blame or even the blame that he is getting right now. He has been here for a very short time and already it looks like he is losing his mind and has his hands on his head. And a lot of coaches have been changed. At this point, I think the whole squad is the problem.

I believe Manchester City has come back to winning ways with a comfortable 2 zero win against Leicester city at home though Leicester has not also been in a good form this season I believe Manchester City fans will be a bit happy because it has been long they won a matches I still believe this win against Leicester city will give them more confidence to win their next game.

I don’t know why most people think Manchester City is back to their winning ways after playing against Leicester City, and they were able to get a win. Manchester City have won just one match, and it was against a weak team, so we can’t say they are back to their winning ways, at least let’s wait for them to play more matches, and if they are able to win those matches, then we can conclude. I know getting a win is really a good one for Manchester City after losing so many games, and their fans have been down, they were able to secure three points, which is really a nice one, but let’s just see how Manchester City will be playing in their subsequent matches.

Talking about Liverpool their performance against westham really shows how prepare they are in winning this season English premier league tittle honestly the scoreline really surprised me even when westham were playing at home.

I don’t know if any team will be able to stop Liverpool from winning the Premier League title this season. They have been playing well, and from their performance, I don’t think their performance will be dropping. Manchester City, which everyone was thinking would be competing with Liverpool, is currently performing poorly, and even if they are back to form, I don’t think they will be able to win the Premier League title this season.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

I'm just thinking over what Salah can do more... I assume there is nothing coming to mind.    He is the beast this season. 17 goals and 13 assists in 18 Premier League games... These are really unreal statistics. It is way too extra for his age in my opinion. He has already become a Liverpool legend surely. He has even a big affect over families in England these days as people have started to name their babies "Mohamed" more than ever.

Mohamed Salah has a great performance. But he still hasn't got a new contract. And despite that, he has kept his mood up. I think he should be congratulated. He is a real professional.

Manchester United v Newcastle United will be played tonight. Manchester United have lost their last two league games. Newcastle United have won their last three league games. I think it's going to be an enjoyable game. I'll bet on both teams to score. Newcastle United have been performing better than Manchester United in recent weeks. But we may see a surprise result in this match.

The last meeting between the two also ended with an impressive score, 3-2 for United's victory. Now the situation may be quite different, but United with Amorim must be under pressure to improve the team's performance. However, the poor results from the previous few matches must have made Amorim make a lot of improvements. He certainly doesn't want his team to continue to be in a slump. It's not an easy match, but there is a possibility that United can win the match. Newcastle is not a team that will be easy to face, they could make United fall into a longer defeat.

Nottingham Forest has been surprising this season no body believe they will be in the current Position they are right now if they continue like this we might see them playing in the UEFA Champions league next season but I don't think they will win the English premier league tittle.

To be fair I checked reddit and they are mocking the situation, as in they are "happy" ironically, because they do realize that Leicester is not a great team and beating them is not really a huge achievement, but of course considering how many games they lost recently, they do realize that winning is a good deal, after all it would have been worse if they got a draw or a loss, so of course they would prefer to win this and happy that they got it, but they also realize that this doesn't mean they are suddenly back and doing as good as they used to, they realize that they are not looking at anything improved overnight.

So they are going to be checking it cautiously and feels like we are not going to see too much change just yet. So we need to consider how this could be considered not that complicated, hence we are going to see fans be worried for a few more weeks at least, but if City manages to win many games in a row, then we could maybe have a chance.

The first half is about to end and Manchester United is down by two goals. Things are really bad for Manchester United at the it is pretty obvious that the problem of Manchester United is not only that of coach but it spans beyond the coaching department but down to the management and even the players.

From the recent matches of Ruben Amorim, it is obvious that he doesn't know how to come back. It is fine to conclude that Manchester United has lost it tonight and it is such a bad way to end the year.

[kawetsriyanto]

He has been here for a very short time and already it looks like he is losing his mind and has his hands on his head. And a lot of coaches have been changed. At this point, I think the whole squad is the problem.

This must be because Man United at that time was gradually getting better and its position began to climb when under interim coach, Ruud van Nistelrooy. However, with Amorim, Man United's position dropped even further. Indeed, there were many rotations in his strategy and several decisions when the players were placed in their new positions. Indeed, Amorim also said that he was adjusting his strategy and it might take time. But right now, it actually made Man United's position drop even further.

Ah yes, right now, Man United is playing against Newcastle and until the 67th minute, they are behind 0-2.

Another thing, which is quite surprising is Chelsea who are behind Ipswich Town 2-0. What a match, even though they are playing against a club from the relegation zone.

Manchester United’s management wanted to be safe, and they don’t believe in Ruud thinking that he will just continue from where Ten Hag stopped since they were together and despite the effort Ruud Van Neilstroy put in the short period of time he was given opportunity to coach, he did really well and has started shaping the team into a better team, but the management don’t trust him enough which is why they couldn’t wait till after the season before they sign Amorim, and they are also scared of losing Amorim because he might have offers from several teams because of how well he performed in his former team.

It’s just four minutes to the end of the match, and I don’t think Manchester United can do something, which simply means that it is yet another defeat for the Red Devils 

Another thing, which is quite surprising is Chelsea who are behind Ipswich Town 2-0. What a match, even though they are playing against a club from the relegation zone.

It is a surprising result which come as offset because no one expected Chelsea to lose, I was expecting an easy win for the Blues today. Although some Chelsea fans were saying that Arsenal survived with 1-0, now they are losing 2-0.

Why would Manchester United fans be blaming Ruben Amorim for the club  poor performance, was Amorim not doing great with his former club both in the domestic league and European league before Manchester United management brought him to Old Trafford? Unfortunately, there are fan that just wouldn't admit that their club players are just a bunch of flops at the moment that needs to be overhauled for new serious players in their prime who will be ready to play for the badge to come in.

As for the rotation of players by the head coach Amorim, it's obvious he's trying to give all the players the opportunity to show their worth on the pitch if they deserve to stay or leave by the January transfer window. Amorim wants to know those players that fit into his style while he gets to sign in new players to add up to their numbers after the  flops must have been sent off. Man needs time, and January is when the time starts.

[Amphenomenon]

Chelsea lost again the second time in a role, moving to fourth place. This is among the main reason why I did say that before, I don't consider them among the title favourites. Their inconsistency is back. Although we can still see reasons why we can criticise Enzo Maresca for these loses,  he has made disappointing decisions in his formation and during substitution. Although I'm still happy, since the players are acting poorly during this January transfer window and that means we likely will sign players especially in the defensive area and likely get a proper nine.

[ajanwalker]

Manchester is getting closer and closer to the relegation zone. Today they lost 0-2 to New Castle at Olf Trafford.

They have won only one of their last six games and that was against City.
The next game is against Liverpool and it will be very difficult for them to get points from there.
I don't know how a legendary team like Manchester United got into this situation.
This year has been a lost year and if they can't get their act together, I think they will be relegation candidates.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

Manchester United have lost again, meaning they have failed to win another match. This team's poor performance continues, they are trying to improve themselves a lot but are not able to do so. In fact, many football fans thought that their team's new coach might be able to turn the team around. But I don't see much change in the situation of this group, it remains the same as before. Manchester United didn't play well against Newcastle, I agree they have the best players in their team but why do they perform so poorly?

Newcastle scored two goals in the first 20 minutes of today's match, after which Manchester United's players were unable to attack any more and they were unable to score any goals.

From the team that is in the relegation zone, their points difference is only 7 points and Man United's current position is already in 14th place. If Man United continues to experience bad results, it is not impossible that their position will be even more unsafe and Man United must fight hard not to be relegated. It's not funny if a big club like Man United has to go through hard times and get relegated. I think the club owner is starting to think about ways to fire the coach in the near future if Amorim has not given good results because it is feared that Man United will get even worse.

Yeah. It seems Chelsea players are not kidding when they said they have no clue about what title contender was. One point from nine enough to prove how Chelsea is not yet ready for the title race.

Chelsea lost against Ipswich, a relegation zone team. Ironically, It's Ipswich's first win against Chelsea since 1993. Chelsea is a mess in this game. Yhey phisically bullied by Ipswich. They must offload their french mercenaries who give no impact to their defense. Entire backline was crap except Cucurelly, and they can fuck off.

[ajanwalker]

Salah: In my first year at Liverpool, Andrew Robertson came to me one day. He said, ‘When you miss a goal and you put your head down, everyone looks at you and thinks, ‘If a superstar does this, what are we going to do?’ That stuck in my mind. Since then, even if I miss a goal, I always smile.”
It always stuck in my mind. Why does Salah always smile when he misses a goal? I even lost a bet because of him. So that must be the reason.😂

You mentioned that Manchester United has the greatest players in the squad, there isn't a better player in the Manchester United team, in my opinion. Ten Hags was too busy rebuilding the team with useless defenders, and during the last two seasons, he was unable to add any top attackers to improve their performance. How can the best manager rely on Garnacho and Rashford? Every position in Manchester United is weak, and even the defenders he signed aren't good enough at defending goals. Even the new manager seemed to be very confused, not knowing which players should be used to win games.

Manchester United conceded two goals in the first 20 minutes of the game, and what is the point of three defenders that Ten Hags bought during the transfer window if they can't defend well? There's nothing wrong with the manager, but they do not have the right players for the team. The craziest thing I've seen in football this season is that Zirkzee was substituted off in the first 30 minutes of the game and nothing wrong with him. We are sick of seeing these players' faces as Man United players, I think they should do us a favor by selling these players.

It always stuck in my mind. Why does Salah always smile when he misses a goal? I even lost a bet because of him. So that must be the reason.😂

I think Robertson is really right about his words.    Because the fans want to see that shine in their players to believe in them no matter what the situation is. So I like what Salah is doing there. He is relaxed and focused in every condition. This makes him a special player. Look what he has done until now also. He isn't playing like a human.    He contributes to Liverpool in every way that comes to minds. If it weren't for his high effort I don't think Liverpool would be this comfortable in the PL nowadays.

This is why I hope to see Salah staying for at least one more season there. I don't even understand why Liverpool hasn't started contract talks. Salah must be also disappointed because he is willing to stay and play more.

[mamesso]

~Snip~

Mohamed Salah has a great performance. But he still hasn't got a new contract. And despite that, he has kept his mood up. I think he should be congratulated. He is a real professional.

What Mo Salah did needs to be an example for other players, even though he has not received a new contract from the club he plays for, he continues to show his class as the player who contributes the most to the team. Liverpool should see him as a priority to keep because his loyalty is so high, he is a legend and deserves the respect to retire at Anfield.

[Kavelj22]

I honestly have to say that Manchester City seems to have unresolved internal problems rather than just losing some important players, I mean about some problems that are not exposed to the media, while the players know about it.

Yesterday, press reports revealed that Juventus rejected an offer from Manchester United to sign its player Marcus Rashford during the next winter transfers. It was not surprising that Juventus rejected the offer. Because despite Rashford being offered to many clubs, including Barcelona, ​​the value of the deal, in addition to his salary of 350 thousand pounds per week, constitute a major obstacle to his departure from the team. Marcus Rashford, who was absent from the last four matches due to problems with his technical manager, could have had an impact in those matches, all of which Manchester United lost with disastrous results. With the team's current situation, it will get worse if its financial crisis forces it to lose its best players. At the same time, there is no news about possible new signings or about the club's management's future plans to improve the team's overall performance.

Indeed any team who would be willing to sign him would have to consider his salary, a player paid such amount should be able to play brilliantly with enough goal records especially in his las 10 games. No team would want to buy a player who is still working on himself for that amount and expect to pay him with such huge amount per week. In my opinion the pay of Marcus Rashford is over rated compared to his performance, though his has in time passed helped Manchester United to achieve a few celebrations including the FA cup of last season against Manchester City but his pay is way too much. Maybe his new club would consider reducing it a little bit.

As I understand it, the player is going through difficulties with the team's coach, and based on this disagreement between them, estimates indicate that this is the reason for his exclusion from the last four matches. Juventus wants to buy other players and will not waste time in a contract with a player who is going through problems with his team, especially since the value of the deal may not be commensurate with the player's performance, which may have declined, which explains his exclusion from playing despite the team's low level.

Manchester United is going through financial difficulties in addition to a catastrophic decline in performance. Its problems will double if it starts to let go of its good players to cover the financial deficit. Let's wait and see what will happen in the coming period.

Newcastle scored two goals in the first 20 minutes of today's match, after which Manchester United's players were unable to attack any more and they were unable to score any goals.

I was expecting Manchester United to lose this match too unless they decide to be good themselves then we can only hope. It doesn't look like they are improving themselves, they should practice well and play hard on the field to win matches and score goals. Even if you have the best coach in the world. Even if they do, they will not succeed unless they work hard for themselves but by the way, his decision to change the new coach which he uses again and again is very wrong. They don't work hard and don't put so much pressure on themselves that they don't play well. A Newcastle goal was enough to defeat Manchester United. There was also pressure from Newcastle who failed to score a goal and would go on to lose the match.
