One of the most notable legacies of Pep Guardiola as a football manager is that he's never been sacked in his entire career but now faces possibility of receiving his first sack letter of his career. I love his honesty in admitting that his current performances with the club is very poor and could make the club management relieve of his duties at the club but considering his achievements since he signed for the club in 2016, I don't think the club management will ever sack the Spaniard. I believe he'll help Manchester City return to winning ways again but I don't know how long it'll take him to achieve that.

The issue of injuries cut across all the top clubs except Chelsea, however I think the absence of Rodri due injury had rally affected Man City, I don't know how Guordiola built his team around Rodri, his absence had cost the team losing matches back to back it's quite unbelievable that Man City can play as many as that without win, meanwhile truly in their next match against City rival it's going to be another tough match for City because Man Utd would go for a win knowing how poor their City rival has been in the past weeks, though Amorim side had also been struggling to win matches too, I am predicting a draw between the two teams

Since Manchester City began to see their worse, I have consistently maintained my speech which centered on Pep Guardiola. I am so much convinced that Guardiola did not make his calculations well. He should have decided to leave rather than going this more season again. You leave and let your legacy be when the ovation is very high. Now a coach that has never been sacked is contemplating and believing that he might eventually be sacked. This is a big blow to his career. Even if Manchester City does not intend to sack him, but PEP coming online to acknowledge that if he eventually sacked that he deserve it, is shit to his career. Let's just believe that Pep Guardiola will try his best to turn around this worst moment of his career and in the end of the season he should be able to go home with at least one title or trophy.

Manchester United fans are expecting their team to capitalize on the weakness of Manchester City to win the match. The match is a derby and as such it is expected to be tightly contested. Though Manchester City have been struggling in their last 10 games, Manchester United are not better side in this match, they have not been consistent. Amorim may have won City with Sporting CP but Manchester United are a struggling team.

He has many things to work on in the team before the team can stand out again. And I strongly believed that Amorim will change many players in the next transfer window. The strikers and the defense are the places he should focus. When those two angles good to strike and defend them the team will rise up again. For now there is nothing for that team and they should prepare themselves in the next season and if Amorim will not do well even in the next season, then things will change hand again.

The coach has to strive hard to make things better for the team. And all praises will go to him.

Sure. Currently Manchester City is facing a lot of problems, and that is why I’m also giving Manchester United a chance of winning this upcoming match, but we can’t conclude yet. We are just saying it based on how we see Manchester City’s condition this season; they are not really at their best, and Manchester United is getting improvement since Amorim joined them, so definitely he will try his possible best to use his best players to win this match. Manchester City is not small as well, so Manchester United needs to work harder in this match. I can see many people are giving Manchester United winning, but I can’t do that now; I will wait and see how the match goes.

The question is, why can't they recover though? What happened that made them just collapse whenever they make a mistake. I mean they have been great for 7+ years now, and that's awesome for a team to be good that long, I agree with that, but they made mistakes before, they didn't start to make mistakes this season, they had games where they made mistakes before and then recovered and did alright, except this season.

So, what happened this season that made them lose out whenever they lose the focus, whatever they did to recover last time out, all the way until this season, should be what they are doing to recover this season as well. I can see why that may look like it's an issue that we can't know from outside, but they need to figure out from inside.

I think Amorim not only needs to focus on improving strikers, but he also needs to consider good midfielders and defenders. Rasmus Højlund is a good center forward if he gets proper support from his teammates on the pitch, of course when he is used as a target man. Better wingers can of course be brought in, as can defenders and wingers.

So far I haven't read any rumors about who Amorim will bring in in the next transfer window to build his squad. But he must be able to determine who and in which position the player is really needed so that his plans for this season run smoothly. This week's away game is very challenging for him, of course that's because of Manchester City.

Well the only reason why I feel Manchester united have little chances of winning this game is because of the terrible form that Manchester city are currently on although I understand the context of the game actually being a derby match and with the atmosphere and fans influences can happen that could alter winning for one of the two teams but stamping that united must win this game is not the right thing because city even with their poor form can still step up and win this game.

In the second round of the English Premier League, Manchester City may rise from its slump. The reason is, the club has again poured a large investment for Pep Guardiola to improve his squad. However, even so, before the second round begins, Manchester City still has four matches left in the first round, and to maintain their hopes of winning the title, Manchester City must be able to maximize the results obtained before the changes really happen. The reason is, currently the points difference between Manchester City and the leader of the standings Liverpool is quite far, namely eight points.

Pep Guardiola has indeed experienced a series of bad results lately, but in my opinion that is not the only reason Manchester City ended his contract with Guardiola at the end of this season. With a series of achievements and trophies that Pep has given to the club, I think the club must behave fairly by giving Pep the opportunity to stay at Manchester City, and maybe until Pep decides to retire.

I have been reading a lot of transfer news lately about prospective strikers Manchester United may be signing this January. I think it’s  high time Ruben amorim take a drastic decision on Manchester united players. They need to wake up and motivate themselves. He needs to sell so many underperforming players at the club just occupying space and not even trying to contribute to the success of the club.

Having a team filled with top players like this, it only takes few coaches to be able to handle them well and take advantage of the players. We have seen what Enzo Maresca is doing with this players and it’s going well for him. This method will not even allow the players to get fatigue as they play in every match. He is rotating them well the way it fits best. Any players that is not found in the top eleven of the team in the premier league games and do come in as substitute are always the starters of the UEFA conference league and they always play better there because they’re not been overused. I like his style of coaching and with this method, it’ll really help Chelsea in this new format of the champions league when they play in the competition by next season.

The many players they have and people complaining about their squad depth is the best for this new format. With the way Vhelsea plays now, we won’t be surprised to see them in the champions league next seasons because they deserve it and they’re really working very hard to make that happen for themselves. Even the premier league, I can see them as a major contender for the league title even if Maresca is denying the fact that they’re not chasing the league title this season. We shall see how things become for them by end of the season but they’ve really improved and are one of the best in the premier league currently.

I don't think Pep will leave after been supported with such amount of money for him to bring in new players. If he leaves, it means that the current problem is bigger than him and he has accepted defeat. I don't see Pep as a coach that will accept defeat easily, because of the little challenge he is passing and doesn't believe in himself. He is a great coach with a lot of experience.

I think Manchester City is suffering from injury crisis and other related internal issues. Because how would you explain going almost 10 matches without a win? And in their upcoming encounter against Manchester United, the match will be a tough match because it is a Manchester derby and if Manchester United will have a chance in the match, Ruben Amorim will have to field his strongest players and not experiment. They need to be more tightly organized, and be able to capitalize on City's sloppy defense if they want to get all three points.

This is one of the reasons why Manchester City can always survive the downturn where when their current performance is in trouble, the management immediately makes some breakthroughs and does not even hesitate to give very large money to Pep so that he can give the best in the transfer season and so that he can improve his performance in the middle of the season towards the end of the season and privileges like this cannot be obtained by all coaches.

For him to leave suddenly it seems that this is still not possible, isn't he currently extending his contract until 2027? For this reason, it will be quite difficult for him to leave suddenly, especially since the contract extension was carried out even just a few months considering that the contract extension occurred before Manchester City experienced problems like now, so the chances of him leaving are the same as Klopp.

The chances of Manchester City coming back at home in the derby match are very high, but I hope they don't actually get this. I really expected the bad performance from Manchester City and Manchester United must be able to play optimally without the slightest pressure. If Amorim can control the existing pressure, then he must instruct his players not to be shaken just because Manchester City is playing at home.

I only hope that Manchester City will still be down in this week's derby match, but I doubt Pep Guardiola will remain silent with the current condition of his team. Defeat after defeat makes Pep Guardiola even more motivated to get up and maybe he will win in the derby match. I really didn't expect it, meaning Manchester City's defeat was what I expected.

I have check the last 5 head to head games between Manchester City and Manchester United and United were only able to win just 1 from the game, the City may looks weak but you can compare a team that is among the top 4 and a team that is in number 13, I think Manchester City will beat United in this match not to even mention the match is going to held at Etihad, that's going to be a lot of pressure for Manchester United and Amorim since they haven't seen good result since he signed to the club.

Other factors that I think will make Manchester City to win this match is if they don't win this match, they will be fall out of the top 4 from next week and that's going to be shameful for Guardiola. They might not be able to win the Premier League as the title contender but they will finish the top 4, they have never been a season in the last 7 years they went below top 4 and I'm not sure Guardiola will put his reputation on the line for such performance, he will rather quit than see such result.

No Manchester United fan will be satisfied with the current situation of Manchester United because since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as the head coach of Manchester United, Manchester United has not been able to compete for the Premier League title, and their fans are not really happy with the club situation. Yes, it will take time before Ruben Amorim can change Manchester United's situation, and this can only happen when Ruben Amorim starts signing the players of his choice because the current players at Manchester United are not helping him get the results that Manchester United management employed him for.

Well, it is not easy to maintain consistency throughout the season. Not only that, Chelsea must be stable and maintain the fitness of its players. But at least, Enzo Maresca has shown his ability by bringing Chelsea to the runner-up position under Liverpool. His current task is to keep his team on the right track, because they have come this far. I personally did not think Chelsea would be able to advance well through obstacles after obstacles, but in fact the obstacles will be even harder after the first half of the Premier League season has passed. Uniquely, Chelsea is only a small difference in points from Liverpool. Although in fact Liverpool has one postponed match, but such a thing could be very disturbing for Liverpool. btw, this is just my assumption that cannot be justified. Next, Chelsea will host Brenford, they are much more favored. So, theoretically Chelsea should be able to get full points, especially playing at home.

Are you damn serious! Terminating players contract in the middle of the season? If that is done now who will now be playing for them till January transfer window at most?

In the case of Manchester united, I really don't think that the players aren't playing for the badge anymore, what I sense is that they are not good enough anymore, you can't give what you don't have, so that's why a rebuilding of the team is needed, so as to chip out the dead players and brings in more quality players that knows what it means and what it takes to play for Manchester united. Without that, Manchester united are seriously far off their glory days.
