Yes, some of Manchester City key players are starting to look slow, Pep Guardiola needs to refresh the team, but it seems they will not be too active in the January transfer market. Manchester City chances of retaining the trophy are getting slimmer, although we realize the season is still too long, and the situation could improve in the second half of the season. Regarding Chelsea, they are now worthy of being considered as title rivals with Liverpool. Enzo Maresca is wise enough to respond to the various compliments that are thrown at him, so that his players remain humble and continue to work hard. Chelsea biggest luck this season, apart from having many rotation options, is that they have avoided the storm of injuries.

Pep Guardiola can not buy players without given budget from the club owner and there is barrier and risk that if they overspend, they will be punished by UEFA soon. There is rumor that Manchester City are facing with big risk of a severe punishment from UEFA with financial issues in their club latest years. Fraud financial reports in the past, can cause massive harms on Manchester City in future.

With this pressure, their club owner will not want to give Pep Guardiola too much money for winter transfer market. The coach will mostly base on available players include young ones, to lead his club going through this hard time as best as possible.

Pep Guardiola have been asked on few occasions of he'll be making some signings in the January transfer window so he can balance his team but his response have always been that he "wants his injured players back". Just like you said, the Spanish manager needs to make some significant additions to the team's so they can be competitive again but if he decides not to do that, I'll not be surprised to see Manchester City not finish the season in the top four.

This season besides the injury of Rodri i think almost all of Manchester City main players unable to in form and we can see it based on Manchester City players statistics such as Haaland and De Bruyne that although Haaland still being an Premier league top scorer with 13 goals but Haaland performance is decline and for Premier League matches Haaland only scores 2 goals from 9 latest matches even so with De Bruyne that this season he doesn't performing well and until week 16 De Bruyne only created 2 assists so i think this is the biggest factor why Manchester City playing similar to mediocre team now and Guardiola has been realize this condition that Manchester City had serious problem but unfortunately Guardiola says until now he still unable to find the solution of this crisis

Actually, Amad Diallo had several opportunities to score goals, but unfortunately he was only able to do so in the final minutes of the match or right after Bruno Fernandes scored a goal through his penalty kick. But I was also quite amazed at Manchester United's achievements through the two players because both of them played really well in the match. And now the Manchester United players are clearly very motivated by Amorim's tactics so that in the next match they will also play much better than last weekend.

It has been only Haaland in striking for them this season, he needs another striking option just as he needs new defensive options and another option in defensive midfield. Manchester City are slowly drifting far from any chance to defend their title again, and Chelsea although the coach refuses to admit it are shockingly the title contenders this season, currently in the race with Liverpool. If Chelsea do not face problems later with injuries, or fatigue, they can actually win this season.

Yes, the victory happened because Manchester City was in bad form and the goal scored by Manchester United also happened because of Matheus Nunes' mistake which made Manchester United make a comeback that shouldn't have happened.

And I think whatever the reason Manchester City this season is very bad, and maybe it's time for Manchester City to become a weak team this season because nothing always goes smoothly every season. Have we forgotten that Manchester City is dubbed as a scary team and there will always be players with the same quality if there are players who are injured or whatever the reason.

Southampton is really down, their defense is very weak from 3 matches they have conceded 11 goals. After previously conceding 5 goals from Chelsea then conceding one goal from Aston Villa and now conceding 5 goals from Tottenham even though the first half was 5-0 and entering the second half there were no more goals. However, it has proven that Southampton is very weak in defense, this defeat also made Southampton officially fire coach Russell Martin, maybe the club management no longer wants to keep the coach after experiencing consecutive defeats. Hopefully with a new coach their defense can be better so they can get out of the relegation zone.

If you look at Tottenham's performance like this, they actually have a chance with Chelsea to become Liverpool's competitors in the league this year, after Man City ran out of gas and got worse. Because currently if you look at Tottenham's goal productivity it is almost the same as Chelsea, only one goal difference. The difference is that Tottenham is still in 10th position while Chelsea is in second place, but if they continue to maintain this performance they will return to the top four.

It is true that Manchester City is in a slump but it must also be admitted that Manchester United has developed now so that they can win this Derby match, this is really something very surprising especially Manchester United managed to rise after being 1 goal behind in the first half and that shows the mentality of the team coached by Amorim which is very strong now.

And what happened to Manchester City is really beyond the expectations of many people, I don't understand why they can be like this now even though the players who are currently there are quite qualified even though some of their main players are injured but that doesn't mean it is the main reason for their very deep slump like now.

Pep Guardiola must take advantage of the January transfer market if he wants to change or make his team rise and Manchester City management must also fully support it, otherwise I think their slump will be even deeper.

I expected Tottenham to do more than what they have done because Southampton is one of the worst teams this season; they recorded the highest defeat with the highest number of conceded goals. I will say that I wasn't satisfied with the five goals because if they could have five goals in the first half, I expected to see one or two goals in the second. Any team that meets Southampton usually takes advantage of accumulating goals. Tottenham have tried and this will give them courage to face Manchester United in their next match. Both teams won their last match but Manchester United didn't find it easy because their victory came when the game is about to end which is usually dangerous if they meet stronger teams.

Don't be surprised as Manchester United only won that game as Manchester city are having a bad form, they haven't won about 10 games now so playing a debby isn't going to favour them. I was more surprised when I saw Manchester city winning as I thought this was going to be a straight forward win for Manchester United. Considering the poor form of Manchester city, I think they did well in this game. Manchester city needs a break and I know they'll be wishing there was an international break ahead as they'll need something like that to be able to regroup and comeback to the league to try to get something from this season as they have lost form very much.

By half time, Tottenham had scored five goals, in this match, the opposing team did not give Southampton any chance at all. Southampton performed very poorly in this match, Tottenham had a total of 18 attacks and Southampton had only 9 attacks.
 However, Southampton could not succeed in any of the nine attacks, but Tottenham had an incredible performance in this match and in terms of gambling, the fans of Total Ham were shouting for a victory today. The gamblers never imagined that this match would have the biggest margin in such a short time. This Tottenham team won and took 10th place in the points table.

This defeat is very painful for Manchester City, because victory was in sight, but Man City failed to maintain their lead.

I thought Man City would return to their best performance because they managed to stop their losing streak, when they won big against Nottingham Forest. However, it turned out to be just luck, they had to draw against Crystal Palace and lose narrowly against Man United.

And you are right, that this is not just about Rodri. The downsizing carried out by Pep Guardiola before facing the 2024/25 season is the cause of all the problems experienced by City today. At the beginning of the season, Man City did appear impressive, they continued to perch at the top, but no one knew that a storm of injuries would occur, and Man City did not have substitute players who were on par with the key players.

Newcastle United  football team performed very excellent in last match because they won the match one sided. As I expected that match will be one sided and they gave all effort to make this match one sided . Newcastle United football team did 4 goals in this match and one player did 2 goals and 2 players did 1,1 goal in this match . Murphy was the player who did 2 goals in this match and made the match one sided and pushed their team to do more goals in this match and we saw that the shots of Newcastle United  football team were more in number which were 27 from which 11 were on target and pass accuracy was also excellent in this match.Guimarães did second goal of the match and that was good impression on the opponent team and he did goal at 47 minutes and 3rd goal did by Isak at 50 minutes.

Actually, it was a little unexpected that we could see Man City slump like this this season. because at the start of the season we saw Man City scoring a lot of goals and winning every match with an extraordinary number of goals. But I forget from which match they started to get worse. And I think this series of bad results has had a big impact on the level of confidence of the Man City players. So this team had difficulty getting back up.

This team has all the players needed. Because from what I see, Man City has quality players in all lines. It's just that Man City now only controls the ball more often but always has difficulty completing attacks well. And Man City's defense is also weakening. It's like there is something missing in this team that makes this team unbalanced.

Amorim can be the good luck charm to Manchester United and a nightmare for Manchester City but this is their first meeting in the EPL, I was surprised when City took the lead and was still struggling with the ball and UTD was still having hope of coming back in the game, the confidence level for Man UTD was massive and I thought they would go weak just as they did against Arsenal but UTD stood their ground and won the derby, what an interesting game.
Amad has been wonderful since he started getting that playing time in the squad and this guy has been on the squad in the time of ETH, why hasn't he be playing Amad to add more strength to the attacking department? ETH should be arrested for playing Antony ahead of Amad after seeing how poor the Brazilian has been since he (Erik ten Heg) became the manager of the side.

Yes, to be honest, I personally also doubt that Manchester United will win because of course at Manchester city, in my opinion, the players are better than Manchester United, but yes, now Manchester United has proven that it is a strong team unlike in the past. but it's true that here Amorim is making good use of it and of course now Amorim has become the public spotlight because he really made a good strategy, yes of course Manchester United didn't make a mistake in choosing Amorim because when he was at Sporting CP he always made good strategies and always made good breakthrough. Yes, of course Amorim will definitely try to be even better and will continue to improve Manchester United's performance.

Yes, I also like Amad Diallo's appearance. To be honest, I was also amazed by his achievements at that time. He really took advantage of opportunities well and he really became a hero for Manchester United and Fernandes. Yes, it is true that under Ten hag Diallo's tutelage he rarely got the opportunity but of course now under Amorim he has become great and indeed the skills he has for a young player his age are indeed very good.

with the rise of Manchester United's performance, I immediately want to see Manchester United's match against Tottenham in the League Cup and I want to see the action of the Amorim troops in fighting to win against Tottenham. What do you think, will Manchester United win that match? For example, if Manchester United wins the League Cup match, it will certainly make Manchester United even more famous and will definitely be respected by EPL clubs.

It is really a pity for City that no matter how strong they play against their opponents, they are still unable to collect points. Rather, we can see that Manchester City's poor performance in every match is making them lose more confidence where they are losing every match. The match they lost against Manchester United at their home ground is really a matter of regret for them. The position that Manchester City is currently in will put them in a very bad position by the end of the season. If good players are not brought into the team from this moment, and they are not changed quickly, then there is a possibility that the team will go into a worse position.
However, since the team has started to be in a very bad position since the absence of the player who is injured, they will have to take action. However, since Manchester United has regained their dominance of the game, Manchester City is losing their dominance this season.

Last season, when De Bruyne was injured, we still saw that Manchester City was fine. But when Rodri was injured at the start of this season we immediately saw something that surprised even me. Because this team's performance continues to worsen. Even when this team has De Bruyne and Gundogan. Haaland wasn't even as sharp as he was at the start of the season. Honestly, I don't understand what is happening in Manchester City. Because even though Rodri is an important player in this team. But I don't think the absence of one player will make Manchester City this bad. But all that did happen in reality.

Man City is currently even further behind Liverpool with a difference of 9 points. And yeah what happened to Man City was the worst in the last few seasons. But it is quite surprising that when Man United rose, why Man City had to experience a decline. Why can't they both play at their best? But why do these two teams from the same city always have to be opposites in terms of performance. when Man United was bad in the last few seasons we saw extraordinary things from Man City. But this season, when Man United rose, Man City experienced a decline. This is quite a funny coincidence. Man City, which is usually very strong, now seems to be starting to lose fear of its opponents. man city didn't even have good results in the UCL. But it will be quite boring if Man City continues to be a strong opponent and continues to dominate the Premier League and maybe now big changes have occurred. Man United is trying to rise with Amorim, I hope it works.
