The result achieved by Manchester United against Tottenham already emphasized if they're finished. I don't see the willingness owned by the club to go up. They wasted many opportunities and doing so many blunders.

Their biggest blunder was not selling Garnacho. His performance has been drastically dropped. He becomes a player with the lowest conversion ratio in premier league.

I have been talking about MU to sell him in the past, but things worsen when they decide to keep stubbornness in keeping him.

No disrespect but after such an awful performance against Tottenham, Manchester United fans are looking for someone to blame. Alejandro Garnacho seems to be the scapegoat even though he has been one of the bright spots in the squad. Manchester United are in a real mess and if they don't address these problems soon, they risk falling further behind their rivals.

Have we become accustomed to statements from Man United supporters to find scapegoats such as Harry Maguire, Antony, Alejandro Garnacho, they seem to not accept that they are in a situation of decline and do not accept the defeat experienced by Man United, nothing has changed and no one is able to change or restore Man United's glory to its former glory. Regarding whether or not Man United is left behind, it is clear that they will be left behind by their current rivals, who knows how long this period will be passed by Man United and Ruben Amorim.

[tygeade]

Amorim has so far struggled to lift Manchester performance and with all the downturns of course he currently has a very difficult job, Ten Hag has left a squad that is in very bad shape so we can't blame amorim at the moment for what happened to Manchester United, so I think next season will actually be an opportunity for Amorim to build his squad as he wants, to be honest, I see it seems that the current squad owned by Amorim does not match the criteria he expects but because of the change of coach that occurs in the middle of the season, of course inevitably Amorim must maximise the potential of the current players before the season ends later.

Amorim can't be blamed for the underperforming of the United team right now, the players at his disposal isn't matched with his tactics as he had while in Sporting CP. The Manchester United management should endeavour to provide necessary funds to ensure Amorim bring the right players he believes has the talent to fit his style.  But until then United would have to  fight to avoid going into relegation because that's what they've left to fight for in the EPL this season. This is just the reality.

Funds is the reason why they are where they are. It is not about providing funds, United always spends a lot of money every single year, and most of the time they fail to deliver. Sure they had a few seasons where they ended in top four, but plenty more where they finished outside, on recent years that is, for the past 3-4 managers, they had couple of good seasons but the rest was terrible, even though they spent funds every single season. This is why we need to remember that maybe the problem isn't getting players.

The problem could be getting good enough players, this is United we are talking about and they should be using the funds they have to get the superstars they need. If this was back in the day, they would be chasing players like Vinicious, or Mbappe, or Haaland, whatever great player was out there, they would be chasing them. Doesn't mean they would get all, just means every year they would get a star, or at least star potential player. Nowadays they spend money, and get terrible players.

It was a great start for Omar Marmoush at Manchester City where he scored his first Hattrick I hope he will also be the top scorer in the Premier League like he did in the Bundesliga, I also hope he can adapt quickly to this league with his performance like that there must be many who praise this player so that it can grow a confident mentality in this player so that he can work together with other front line players to increase strength in attack.

The money Man City spent was in line with the quality that Omar Marmoush possesses, the hat-trick he scored when they beat Newcastle proved that he is a reliable goalscorer, especially since he was previously one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga. Now he is at the right club to improve his abilities to become one of the best players in the world, especially since Guardiola's cool hand has been proven to produce several players who have above average quality.

[Adiljutt156]

Today, I bet on Newcastle to win because City has a very important rematch in the Champions League next week, but O.Marmoush made me regret it. He showed his best performance since the day he arrived and scored 3 goals today, the first goals of his City career.
What is interesting to me is that Newcastle, who always caused problems for the teams that were at the top before, could not show any presence.
My bet lost, but Pep did not rotate even when there was a very important rematch on weekdays.

Newcastle United football team could not do any goal against Manchester City football team and Manchester City won the match one sided because that team did 4 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Marmoush was the match winner because he did 3 goals in this match and he made match one sided by doing back to back goals in this match. He did his first goal at 19 minutes of the match and gave good start and we expected that opponent team will respond well because that is also good team but they could not do any goal in this match and match was ended with result of 4-0.The difference of ranking of both teams is not big because Manchester City has 4th ranking and also has 44 points on the table and Newcastle United has 7th position on the table.

In fact, Newcastle Football Team could not create any good chances against Manchester City in this match, Maybe that's the only reason they couldn't score any goals in this match. But Manchester City's performance was certainly incredible, meaning they were able to dominate this match very well. I found the performance of one of their players in this match to be the most surprising.

Omar Marmoush is not very well known for Manchester City but he scored three goals, so we can definitely say that he might have been the match winner for this match. We've seen a lot of people criticizing Manchester City before, but maybe they are not like that now.

Guardiola has always been good at transfers, Marmus' example shows that City needs new players, and now they are preparing to sell a few players in the summer, I think they can get very good money to buy a few new players. I also think that it was a mistake to let Alvarez go to Atletico, but it's too late to talk about it now, we need to move on.

Manchester United are in a real mess and if they don't address these problems soon, they risk falling further behind their rivals.

Manchester United are a very big blunder for sometime now, let me say since they signed their new coach, their performance doesn’t seem ti have improved a bit even though they’ve hailed this coach so much before he joined them, seeing him as the messiah to lift them up from the position they’re currently in now. Amorim is yet to get the better side of this team, I feel pity for him though but he still needs to level up soon in order not to allow his records here be bad as it’ll affect him further in his future coaching career.

I also think that it was a mistake to let Alvarez go to Atletico, but it's too late to talk about it now, we need to move on.

They let him go thinking the players they have with them now are enough to deliver well what they’re suppose to do on the pitch, but generally the performance of the whole team changed and we saw how bad they have been for a while now. Alvarez was a young talent that I will look for a way to keep him and not let him go. Although, it’ll be hard to achieve that seeing that he’s a top player and needed more time to play and not stay at the bench. He made the right choice to move to another club but in Manchester City’s side, it wants a good move for them.

[EL MOHA]

I also think that it was a mistake to let Alvarez go to Atletico, but it's too late to talk about it now, we need to move on.

If we are been honest I think the credit shouldn’t be going to Pep alone but the scouts in the club who actually scout this players, Pep Guardiola was asked the other day how he signed Omar Marhmoush and he simply said that it wasn’t him but the scout and this is one thing I love about him. Pep Guardiola is been labelled as a money spending coach and most of the time this is what many fans use to discredit his coaching career but my question to most of these rival fans is that it is simply because he is a genius of a man that’s why he always get the best out of his players when they signed up. Look at the other top premier league clubs you will see them spending more and not getting anywhere still, we all saw how Manchester City has improved since they did there January business, should they do more in the summer again then we will see them back up again.

I don’t actually blame Pep for letting Alvarez leave, the player was like a grenade ready to explode if give the Chance, with the way Halaand was playing and the other wingers were playing  opportunity was seemingly looking harder to get for him and should Pep had objected the move for the second season it will have been unfair treatment for the player who has been loyal over the few season

[bitgolden]

United and Amorim situation is of course not a good one to look at, we are talking about one of the biggest teams in all of England reaching to a point where they are literally at relegation levels nearly, sure they are not going to drop, we can see that obviously, but that doesn't mean that they are not close.

This is of course not only Amorims fault, players are doing terrible as well, and all of these players were bought with the logic of playing for ETH, and that means Amorim do not have the players he needs. But, we still can't say that he is completely blameless neither, even if his players do not fit the style he wants, this much bad results isn't acceptable, we are seeing terrible run of results so far, it could have been better.

[SmartCharpa]

Liverpool have been very impressive this season leading the league table by a good gap from second place Arsenal but their last two matches did not entail a very satisfying performance, they drew against Everton and managed a win against Wolves which send a message to opponents that they are a bit weak at the moment and against Aston Villa it will be a tougher game which they will need to be at their best to win. I can’t wait to see how well they will fare in mid week.

Liverpool's performance in the two previous matches has not been too good; they were unable to add more goals against Wolves in the second half, and they did the same against Everton, conceding a goal in the final minute to level the match. Wolves put pressure on Liverpool in the second half of the game, and I was worried that Liverpool shouldn't concede a goal in the final minute since, in the previous two games, we believed Liverpool had secured all three points till they conceded a goal and shared the point with Everton.

However, the previous time Aston Villa hosted Liverpool in the Premier League, the match finished in a 3-3 draw. That was a huge goal scored in a single match; can we expect the same number of goals in tomorrow's game? I believe so because Aston Villa also has a great attacking player, and I am confident they can score a lot of goals.

[Litzki1990]

To make Man United good again cannot be done instantly and it will probably take another 2-5 seasons, so for the rest of this season Man United just need to ensure they don't get relegated, so it would be better if Amorim gave their young players lots of opportunities (as it could be an important asset in the future), and for players who cannot make much contribution, it is better to let them go. It has to be done because the solution for Man United is a major overhaul, so they have to get rid of useless players and use the funds to sign new players.

I Agree. If Manchester United management wants to improve quickly then this is not possible at all. There are many problems within Manchester United's squad. I would even say that unless this squad is changed, Manchester United's performance will not improve. United management should gradually sell old players in their squad and add new players to the squad. But this requires big funds. Now we are not sure whether Manchester United management is willing to spend a large amount of money.

In the last few matches, the performance of Manchester United football team is very low because that team could not perform well in last matches and they have low quality players who have no experience and they are repeating the same mistakes. Coach should make best team but payment will be double or triple to get big players then that team will be able to give tough time to big players. Manchester United team has low position on the table but they could be at the top by performing well in next matches. Tottenham Hotspur full strength team won last match against Manchester United and these are golden points for the Tottenham Hotspur because they need points to get position at the top .

Manchester United's performance in the last few games seems to have forgotten how to perform well as a team. In the transfer market I could see they were spending a lot of money but when the new season started I didn't see much performance from this team. The manager who has been in charge of Manchester United till last season has been a complete failure so the Manchester United management has been forced to fire him. When a new manager was appointed at Manchester United, United fans began to see hope that Manchester United would do well under this manager. In the beginning, Manchester United won several matches in a row in the Premier League, but again, Manchester United is performing poorly. But Manchester United are doing poorly in the Premier League but they are doing well in the Europa League, maybe their only goal now is to do well in the Europa League. 

I won't be disappointed if we don't see anything good from Manchester United in the Premier League this season, but I definitely want to see good achievements from Manchester United in the Premier League next season.

This is a regular-seen experience by most leading, where that at some point they get exhausted or weak due to over use of players or injuries, and likely when the team has numerous matches they're playing, that's when these leading teams begin to drop points and for some clubs they will drop off whereas, some will get back on track, it was sometime at this stage that Arsenal began to drop off points when everyone thought they were going to be the champions that season.

For sure he is going to do well in premier league because he's in the right team and with the right coach , so I don't think he is going to have any difficulties in premier league. 

His game was very impressive and productive and I think with him Manchester City will do very well even in this difficult time that they found it hard to win their games they played before now. Manchester game against Newcastle was very impressive which I never thought they would be able to win the game.

I believe so because Aston Villa also has a great attacking player, and I am confident they can score a lot of goals.

I don't think so.  I expect Aston Villa to lose in the next match. This team has not won any  of their last four matches. They have drawn three matches and lost one . Even though their opponents were not that strong, Aston Villa failed to win. It is impossible to resist a strong team like Liverpool with such a poor performance. I expect liverpool to win in this match. And my guess is that Liverpool will beat Aston Villa by at least 2 goals. I am going to bet on liverpool to win this match.

Actually, Liverpool do not have good squad depth due to the lack of transfer activity they do this season,but the ability from slot actually makes them still able to maintain the balance of the team until the current week 25, the draw against Everton and also a narrow win over Wolves may show the fatigue of the main squad that is forced to continue playing in various competitions, so I think the current slot must be really observant in rotating players if they want to remain consistent until the end of the season, facing aston villa will clearly be other difficult match for they, but even so, I think they have a chance to be able to win the match like as in the first meeting,  or at least can get 1 point in the match to keep their distance safe from the pursuit of arsenal at this time.

Aston Villa this season is not like Aston Villa last season, in the sense that this season they have clearly experienced a decline in performance in the Premier League and this is likely influenced by the fact that they are participating in the UCL competition so that Unai Emery's focus is divided.
On the other hand, Liverpool has become a very consistent team so it is clear that the favorite in this match is Liverpool.
However, there is a little doubt for me if I bet directly on Liverpool because the bookies give them quite high odds. So in my opinion the most comfortable choice is BTTS.

I don't know why but there is an Aston Villa - Liverpool game which was normally going to be played on the 29th week of the season. It isn't an absent game for any side either but anyway... Only 4 days after this game, Liverpool are playing away vs Manchester City in the PL. This makes me think if there would be any rotation but I guess there wouldn't be. Even though they are 7 points ahead of Arsenal there is no need to take such risks.

Aston Villa aren't in form lately. They have lost so many points. This is why I believe Liverpool won't have big difficulties. Salah is destroying everyone on his way. Aston Villa is a candidate to be the next one.

Liverpool is getting impressive because of their good performance because they play well and win matches which makes them improve their record and because of that they will become strong and people like them. Arsenal are also well established but there is a few points gap between them which would put either of them further back.If Arsenal lose the match, it will greatly benefit Liverpool and if Liverpool wins the match, they can even go to number one.In these matches they were under pressure and did not play well, due to which they did not win the match and played poorly. If Arsenal still don't do well in these matches, it will weaken their performance and also their record. This is what everyone wants to see because they are still performing well and are strong.

Due to recent performance of Manchester United they are miserable club because they fail to have improvement and things are surely going badly down which are surely scaring for their fans those are feeling not good in this season even Amorim fail to bring any improvement is more problematic for them.

They have already done few changes and more are under pipeline which will surely give them some relief but if their results no change this could be surely shameful with living in danger zone is also not affordable for club like Manchester United too much talk about scapegoat but no one is going to be blamed because these are completely nonsense.

Quality coach and players, but performance is not consistent and their depth is also not good which is big problems now how to fix this It's surely not easy but as Amorim is doing few chances he will be able to bring changes in the future.

I blame the Glaziers for Manchester United misfortune, if they've sold this clubs to the Arabs the clubs would've been free from debt and not affect by the PSR rule, formerly know as financial fair play rule, that stopping them from recruiting players with offloading some of their current players, it's really affecting them so bad cause most of the so called professional footballers in the club are finding it hard to adapt into the new managers system of play.

 I watch Manchester United's football often with my siblings who are Manchester United fans and I feel their anger and pain cause their club is so boring to watch and the players keep missing good chances, it's never Amorim's fault but the overhyped players in their squad especially their both attackers, those two would never fit in Ferguson's squad, they're lucky to be playing for Manchester United yet they ain't giving their best, it's shameful.
