Fabrizo shuffled what Amorim said in that press conference. When I listened to the press conference Amorim at some point did not sugarcoat Onanas performance. He said Onana is not a bad goalkeeper, but he is meant to not play in the Premier League instead he should be playing for the Saudi league. While he asked about the mistake on that goal, he said he knew it was a mistake and not Onanas fault. However, he expected Onana to save the goal.

Honestly speaking the desperateness at which Amorim wants to get rid of a lot of players from the team by January is very high. He knows he can never do anything good with this squad.

Indeed, Crystal Palace played well and Crystal Palace was great at taking advantage of opportunities until finally Crystal Palace was able to achieve a draw against Manchester City with a score of 2-2. Honestly, I was amazed by Crystal Palace because they were able to score a goal in the 4th minute and the Manchester City fans looked shocked. with that thing. I also thought Manchester City would win that match because in the previous match Manchester City had been successful against Nottingham Forest so I thought Manchester City would be able to win against Crystal Palace easily because their standings were very different from Manchester City.

but even so, I am sure that one day Manchester City will be able to return to what it was before and even though the result was a draw against Crystal Palace, I found Manchester City to be calmer and able to control a lot of the ball and I am sure that Pep will be able to improve Manchester City's performance to make it even better. and in my opinion Manchester City will definitely compete again and I am sure that with the long time until the end of the season, of course there is potential for Manchester City to be able to win the title at the end of the season and I remember last season there were times when Manchester City played less well but in the end Manchester City managed to win the trophy and in my opinion it is not impossible for Manchester City to win the title again.

Next, Manchester City will compete against Manchester United and I'm sure Manchester City will win in that match, what do you think?

Ruud has indeed shown significant improvement, but it would be a shame if he eventually has to leave Old Trafford. But time cannot be repeated, we just have to believe that Amorin can bring Manchester United to the path of victory. He still needs a lot of time to be able to really make changes in MU's body.

Manchester United is still far from consistent, and that is what makes it difficult for the team to enter the top ten standings. Meanwhile, MU's target at the end of this season is to finish in the top 4 in order to compete in the Champions League next season. And this target seems unrealistic if Manchester United does not immediately improve its consistency to win more points.

The new coach is indeed not to be blamed, especially if Amorim has only faced several matches in the Premier League with Manchester United so he should not be blamed because he will definitely make new directions as his own evaluation before facing the next match in any competition. Actually, I look more at the Manchester United players at this time where some positions may need to be replaced with others so that Amorim can know that the players he currently relies on are still not optimal enough to boost the team's performance to be better.

Onana is an overvalued goalkeeper and he is not a too terrible goalkeeper but he isn't good enough for a big club with big ambition. Manchester United bought Onana, refused to sign a new contract with David De Gea, and after several seasons, this mistake is undeniable because Onana has never replaced De Gea successfully. He had some good matches for them but his general performances are not good enough and don't meet their expectation.

Goalkeeper is like 50% power of a club because it is a last player on the goalline and if a goalkeeper makes mistakes, there is almost no other players who can fix it. Mistakes from goalkeepers mainly equal to conceded goals and with any big club, having a good and reliable goalkeeper is very important. It helps them to keep their goal safely and it helps other players in the squad are able to play with higher confidence because at their backs, there is a goalkeeper who can make great saves and help them to correct mistakes from the front line or midfield or even defensive areas.

There are some good games in the Premier League today. But I will focus on the Tottenham-Chelsea game. Tottenham lost to Bornemouth last week. They have only 1 win in their last 4 games. Ange Postecoglou had a great performance last season. But this season he's not doing the same. On the other hand, Chelsea have been performing very well in recent weeks. Last week they beat Southampton 5-1. They have a 7 match unbeaten streak in the league. I see them as favorites in this match. But I will bet on 2,5 goals more for this match.

Hehehehehe i never expected that Onana was liability for his club in this game. He dropped a bollock, and helped his opponent to get full points from home game. What a shameful performance by him, and i rate him 0/10.  

It's waste of time to watch a bang average mid table team played like amateur stuff. I'm wondering what's Amorim gonna do after this his first home lose. It's pretty interesting to see what kind rotation he has for the upcoming game.

The only INEOS who can help them to leave from this problem by selling its entire players in the main squad.

You should be applauding the shot technique by Gibbs and not criticising Andrea Onana. We should also be talking about the build up to this goal and how Bruno Fernandez messed-up with that pass. Below is the image of Manchester United manager Ruben Amorin defending the best goalkeeper in the Premier League competition currently. I hate the fact that he is not getting the flowers he deserves.

I am not defending anyone but I think it is too early to say something bad that Amorim is experiencing right now. This is his first time as a Man United coach and the current line-up is not built by Amorim but by Ten Hag. So it is natural that Amorim may still be learning how to rotate players perfectly. Except next season when the season ends and Amorim will recruit new players and we can see the results. If the results are bad, we can say the criticism to the current MU coach.

This is currently a slightly worse season for Pep Guardiola because Manchester City are performing below the standard of play they have shown in previous seasons. I see Haaland unable to do something different and clearly this dependence will not benefit the team. The draw obtained by Manchester City makes Liverpool more comfortable in first place in the standings and this is a great opportunity for Liverpool to continue to move away. What big difference has happened so that Manchester City have performed inconsistently this season, even though if you look at it, only a few players are injured and it should not really affect Manchester City's overall performance.

Sharing points with a team like Crystal Palace is like a defeat for Manchester City. Manchester City is one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. On the other hand, Crystal Palace is one of the weakest teams. Crystal Palace is in 16th position in the table. Even against such a team, Manchester City is not able to get full points.

Manchester City could not dominate the match against Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace players performed quite well in this match. Even at the beginning of the second half, Crystal Palace was able to take a 2-1 lead. Manchester City is lucky that they got 1 point in this match. Manchester City should perform better. If Manchester City continues such performance, it will be difficult for Manchester City to stay in the top four of the table.

Arsenal will playing at Fulham home ground today and certainly the bookies has been placed Arsenal as the favourite with the odds @1.57 this because Arsenal recent performance is much better than Fulham but i think Fulham cannot be underestimate because last season Arsenal has been met Fulham twice and at that time Arsenal gets 1 lose and 1 draw so this proven Fulham potentially can make Arsenal gets in trouble moreover Fulham is in the good shape because recently they can beat Brighton and draw from Tottenham so although from the squad quality Arsenal is much better but i still considers this is hard match for them

Nottingham are a good team, but despite this I think that Manchester United did not expect such a start to Amorim's work. They are let down by the defense again, it is a bit strange considering that Amorim comes from Portuguese football and there they pay a lot of attention to defense. On the other hand, nothing has changed in the team, the same players remained and it was probably difficult to expect that they would be able to just start winning. City were again unable to win, and I did not really like how they acted, I did not see their usual pressing and pressure, I do not know why.

Manchester United were sloppy, their defense was weak. It has become clear that Manchester United cannot defend against set pieces. Crystal Palace capitalized on it and got the lead early in the first half and into the second half Onana's error gifted Chris Wood the goal that sealed the victory for Crystal Palace. If Manchester United want to achieve great results again, they need to overhaul the squad and bring in quality and proven players that will align to Ruben amorim tactical plan.

I agree with that, the problem is with Manchester United players who do not have a strong spirit and chemistry with each other, as if they are competing to show their individual skills, there is no teamwork seen in Manchester United players.
They have changed coaches quite a lot but no coach can meet the management's expectations, so it is appropriate for Manchester United management to make another step and if it is not wrong to imitate what Chelsea did, it is worth trying in my opinion.

This is a very disappointing week for me, two Manchester suffered defeats which I think are very embarrassing.
In another match Man City also failed to win the match and even their team performance was quite bad, this is really a deep slump experienced by Man City this season.

I don't agree with you. Manchester City drawing against Crystal Palace is like a defeat in my eyes. What an embarrassing game again for Pep Guardiola and his players, the way they played was very poor. Manchester City was fighting for a draw. I doubt they can win the league this season. If Manchester City wants to return to winning ways, Pep will need to buy players in January. City shouldn’t have sold some of their players like Cole Palmer and Mahrez.

Manchester United fans be like:



This is gonna be never ending problem for Manchester United's management. Let's see how long they could realize if their squad was the problem, not their coach. It's kinda suck to see that coach has to play with low quality squad like that. No consistency, no deterimnation, no chemistry, etc.

They should replicate what Chelsea did. Kick all of garbage players, then replace them all.

The truth is that majority of the players at Manchester United are average players who can not take the team to where they are targeting. Amorin is not a bad manager if you read his game management but no coach will succeed dealing with average players. I hope he get the players he wants and the results will probably manifest. Most of the players aren't performing to the level of Manchester United standard.


Well, we have to realise that Manchester City struggle is attributed to the numerous injuries they've sustained. Grealish, Doku and De Bruyne are all playing through injuries just to make sure the team progresses. Unfortunately, Rodri injury has left a wide gap in the defensive midfield and there's no suitable replacement on his behalf. However, the draw against Crystal Palace is not a disastrous result especially considering their injuries woes.

Ruben Amorim turned out to be no better than Erik Ten Hag, Man United dark system will indeed be quite difficult to solve. In the match against Nottingham Forest, there were many mistakes especially when Amorim made a lot of player rotations. The goal was to find a point of compatibility but it also made Nottingham Forest aware of Man United game system and used it as an opportunity to steal a goal. Onana, who is usually able to appear overpowered, but today is very different from his previous appearance. Man United to become the only English giant club that is most unlucky. While Chelsea who last season performed below Man United, managed to achieve the best results with Enzo Maresca.

I agree with you. The players of this club may be talented. But they are not able to perform well with Manchester United. And we have been seeing this for a long time. I think Manchester United's attack is quite strong. If the midfield is stable and the match strategy is good, we will get good performance from HOjlund and Rashford. However, Manchester United's main weakness is their defense.



Manchester United has scored 19 goals in 15 matches and conceded 18 goals. Since Manchester United's attack players are not able to score many goals, if Manchester United wants to stabilize their performance, then their defenders must play well. Otherwise, Manchester United will not be able to stabilize their overall performance.The new coach Amorim is also not able to stabilize Manchester United's overall performance yet. Looking forward to seeing which players Amorim adds to his squad in the next transfer window.
