Amorim is very young and already achieved success in Sporting Lisbon, and if he turns out to be good coach for Manchester United, it will help the club to change a lot, after about a decade with many coaches, a lot of money spent and still struggle to participate in top four of Premier League consistently and not yet competing for Premier League title.
We can't judge Amorim's performance from just one match. Although actually if it was the Manchester United we know they should have won that match. After the match I remember Amorim said that they had a problem in finishing. Amorim is a young coach and he has a lot of time to get Manchester United back on the winning track. And on the other hand I think Amorim has to train the squad with the resources available. I'm sure there will be some obstacles where Amorim doesn't have players who can implement the tactics he wants to play. United is different from Sporting because in Sporting they are all players chosen by Amorim to build a solid squad. I think Amorim should be given the opportunity to evaluate their squad by making some player purchases in this transfer market.

Exactly the point, this is just one game played, we can start now to conclude things, perhaps his new team has not adapt to his coaching style, there are still things that are needed to be be in place,
Bro fuck playing style, fuck adapting to any strategy. We all know that the problem is not a coach's problem it is the players. Sell all of the players in that team and get a new player then you will see a new thing Manchester United can do. Trust me, Amorium is just waiting for the next transfer window so that he can start replacing players.

These player cannot adapt to Amorium coaching style. I have seen his pattern of football when he was at Sporting CP. And he is disappointed with the kind of players Manchester United gave him to coach. Even though he ain't speaking publicly about it. Once the window opens I am expecting Manchester United to get more players than any Premier League club unless they want to see the light anymore for two more seasons. Obviously we cant blame Amorium for the lost. He is a better coach and we all know that.

I can't say if Amorim is going to have a good performance in the Premier League games or not when he is working at Manchester United. The main reason for them to hire Amorim from Stporting was Ten Hag having bad performance and it seems they couldn't have better options than Amorim. While I think as you said, Amorimis very young and he needs much more experience to have a better performance in Manchester United.
Right now for me Ruben Amorim still has a chance of making Manchester United better, my view will change notably based on the players he goes for and how they actually performed in the end because seeing some players signed by Ten Hag for a big money they didn't worth and they still performing subpar shows how well the coach may go.
Amorim Just have to find a way of making this team more hungry for better performances and also making use of every chances on goals notably the attack.

However, Don't forget Komany is also a young coach and he is not experienced, but still, he had a good performance so far in Bayern Munich and maybe we can see the same thing in Manchester United from Amorim.
Vincent Kompany is really doing well but I won't really rate him well except he can get Bayern Munich to the league winners again, possibly winning other domestic trophies and also where they ends their champions league hunt thus season matters. Though the key importance are the Bundesliga title and Champions League hunt.

Manchester City have been on the trends this past weeks and recorded 5 defeats in a row. Definitely not a good time for such an elite team. This season is entirely different from the rest, we've watch the competitive season where only the Norway international dominate the leader board when it comes to players with good goal ratio. Nevertheless, Erling Haaland is topping the rank this season but this time, he's not doing it easy, he suffered and faced hurdles restraining him from netting goals. Erling Haaland is the only prominent striker in Manchester City, his presence dominates every precedent reputation. Erling Haaland is still in good shape to net more goals for Manchester City but the current problem, the team flopped in performance, they're unable to reach full potential this season. The attacker just need consistent passes to be adapted on his own side.
Honestly Manchester City are passing a lot this season, because their patterns playing has total change compared to their last season performances and the most surprise thing is that when the season they performances was very powerful, but this days there find most of their Match to win is it that the problem is from their management or players?

Because I can see that since when Arsenal came from the international break their performances have improved massively, if they can continue in that way; today match against sporting CP was very interesting tonight in the champions league because i was not expecting that kind of goal from them.

Haaland may not be a player who can make extraordinary feints and score goals on his own, but he is a goal machine in a flowing game. Wingers will of course enter positions and create natural opportunities for him. I think the Norwegian striker will continue his performance soon. We expect such things from him all the time because he gives us extraordinary performances, but we should not forget that his successes will continue sooner or later. He is one of the three best strikers in the world who are currently actively playing football.
The team lacks creativity especially without De Bruyne that’s why Halland suffers a lot if De Bruyne is not playing. Halland is a goal poacher and if the team is at their best he will score 30+ goals every season so of course he will continue scoring more goals if the team is back on their feet again.

They have done well as a team I must admit but they are not winning this trophy this season, not like this way because I can see that some people are saying this was how they experienced bad season last time buy this season is different, they have never been this aimless like the way they are playing. If Liverpool continues to win matches, Salah will over take him as the most score player for the season.
It will be difficult to win this trophy this season after all the points lost and if they should then it will be a slap on all other teams in the league. The league is very competitive and i am sure they will still drop more points along the way so winning the league will definitely be difficult. I think the reason why they are not performing so well is because of the kind of players Guardiola is signing to the team, they are not up to the standards of players he normally sign. Savinho is not as good as Mahrez even though he is talented and Doku i don’t know how he ended up in Guardiola’s team because that’s not the kinda of player he signs, Doku is talented but the style of play at City doesn’t suit him well.

I'm happy that Haaland is getting all the backlash he is having now, he has become a subject of discussion and ridiculed as it's hard to score goal now. I will not forget the day he said to Arteta face to "stay humble eh", no striker is rude like him, even Ronaldo wouldn't be able that disrespectful the way he acted in that match and since then, the team performance is has shift out of place, 5 loss in a row is a shame and lesson to them that nothing last forever in winning trophy.

It is very difficult to say if Amorim will fail at Manchester United based on just one game, Amorim of course needs time to rebuild the lame squad after being left by Ten Hag, Adaptation to strategy, game patterns and also selection for a new starting eleven certainly takes time especially if we want to see big changes occur, Amorim who has spent a lot of his time in the Portuguese league certainly brings new and different philosophy, so the players need time to adjust to the style of play applied, we know if now Manchester United is indeed in a transition phase and instant results are often unrealistic, so it is important for the team to stay focused and work hard in every game to get good results later.
While it is true that you can't judge the manager from just one game, you could just say that they had a bad game anyways. There is no reason to think that one can't have a bad game on their first game, just because people are saying this was a bad game, doesn't mean they are saying they will continue to be bad and Amorim will fail here. That is yet to be seen, he could do great or he could do terrible, that has nothing to do with calling this game bad.

Many people are attacking anyone who says this game was a disappointment, but in reality, they should have won this game and even ETH may have won it, so to say that this was a bad game doesn't mean I believe Amorim will fail, I think he will certainly do better than ETH, but still was a terrible display.

At least Haaland is still at the top of the top scorer standings so far in the Premier League but indeed, Salah is getting closer because he only has a gap of two goals at this time. Thus, then of course Haaland's position becomes very threatened because Salah can at any time overtake Haaland at the top of the top scorer standings. But, regarding this competition I think basically Manchester City is indeed, experiencing a decline in performance, so it might be natural if later Salah managed to overtake Haaland. So, the problem is not because Haaland has become barren or has decreased goal productivity, but because Manchester City as a whole has decreased the quality of its performance at this time.

Newcastle are suppose to be the ones leading this encounter but it seems they're never serious until things start getting bad for them. Having all the ball possession in this game but could not show that hunger to get a goal, I wonder why they become very much stronger to beat when it comes to the bigger teams but if they're playing a team that's of the same level with them you'd see them playing rubbish. Since West Ham are leading I can't say they are going to continue with the strength they used in the first half because we know how poor they are in maintaining a lead and Newcastle will come all out to get an equalizer and even win the game but let's see if the visitors can surprise us by defending properly.

Yeah right, Newcastle is disappointing in today's match even though they played well in the last 2 matches and beat Arsenal but today they lost while playing at home. At first I was confident Newcastle will win the game especially when West Ham is not in the best performance and I also put a bet on both teams to score to anticipate conceding but yeah unfortunately Newcastle didn't score a single goal.

Very disappointing performance by Newcastle and we should have expected it even before Monday night that these guys only show superior when they see one of the big six and they know many football lovers are expecting them to do well. West Ham has lost everything that made them to be among the teams to watch with their poor form but Newcastle just did a giveaway to make the Hammers find their lost form and I believe West Ham will definitely win their next game.
I find it difficult to believe that this was the same team that ones played the champions league, talking about Newcastle. Ever since they finish that season they became terrible and you can't rely on them to either win a game or even struggle to be in that top 4 that gave them the opportunity to be in the UCL. Newcastle lost that consistency and it has made the team to always be outside the top 6 at the end of the season, they look promising and disappointing at the same time, I wonder the position they'll finish this season and Edward Howe need to strengthen the team by changing their style of play and adding up new legs if not the board might show him the exit door.
Yes ,you are absolutely right. Newcastle United football team could not do any goal in this match and that team could not defend goals in this match.  But the shots of that team were more in number which were 18 as comparison to shots of West Ham United football team. The shots of West Ham United team were 15 and 6 were on target  and possession percentage of that team was not good and that was 47 percent  and the passes of that team were 475 which were less as comparison to 509 passes of Newcastle United team. Souček gave good start in this match and he did goal at 10 minutes of the match and after his goal one more person did goal in this match and that was Wan-Bissaka  and he did at 53 minutes.

Yeah Mo salah is the player who has the most potential to replace Haaland from the top score list, based on statistics Mo Salah has scored in the last 5 matches in the Premier League while Haaland seemed not consistent in scoring goals, if Liverpool can win the title this season, it is very likely that Mo Salah also wins gold shoes and maybe this will be the last season for him.

Regarding Manchester City, the thing I highlight the most is their defense very bad, imagine Manchester City conceded 17 goals in 12 matches it is the worst record between the teams in the top 10 so how they can compete to win the title if their defense is very bad. I think Manchester City needs a new player in defense and they have to find it in the upcoming transfer window, that's the only way to close the gap.

Erling Haaland haven't been prolific as he used to be for Manchester City which have made many to start doubting his goal scoring abilities even when he's currently the top scorer in the league. Pep Guardiola was asked today about the Norwegian and he said
 “I would say the reason for our lack of goals is not Erling Haaland. Without Erling, we would be more in trouble!”.

“Erling will score 2/3 goals in one game soon, you’ll see. He always did that”.

What do you make of his response about the striker?
Just like every other striker, hence there is no formidability from the other wings, he will surely find himself struggling to score goals, and Erling Haaland is one player that always stays around the box waiting for the slightest opportunity to score, so once those balls are not coming in, it then becomes a problem. So all these things pep guardiola is talking about Haaland, it will only come into fruition if he has his full squad perform optimumly. Pep guardiola shouldn't forget in a hurry that even without Haaland, Manchester City where still scoring goals because of the the kind of players they have, who makes the work of strikers easy.
Haaland may not be a player who can make extraordinary feints and score goals on his own, but he is a goal machine in a flowing game.

Haaland cannot do without De Bruyne, especially when the other wingers don't understand him. If you look at this past weekend match, Savinho couldn't work with Haaland and that frustrated him. Haaland is only a finisher, give him the ball to strike inside the back of the net is what he is good at. If you look at City, the midfield is weak and it's also affecting the strikers.

I'm not sure about that, I can remember the season they won the Premier League and Champions league together, the season that followed De Bruyne couldn't play for months and that didn't stop Haaland from scoring but his performance drop drastically and this is because he can't do well without a supporting midfielder like De Bruyne, the rest aren't good enough like De Bruyne but if they can get a better replacement, De Bruyne can be replaced.

Haaland is such kind of player that can't do play making, they build to score goals and that was what Guardiola sign him up for, not everyone you expect in the field to do everything especially the number 9. If you check his stats, the rate he has the lowest is the dribbling and making good chance, this is what De Bruyne can do. The second person that I know comes close to De Bruyne is Rodri, he is good at making chance for Haaland and other forward players.

Salah is near to Haaland, 10.. seems Haaland stop his fury, strange
Nothing strange because Haaland has no one who can feed him. I know De bruyne was just coming back to the squad last game, and he needs several matches to get his confidence. That's why he was unable to feed haaland caused by he's not at his good condition after he recovered from his injury.

Haaland needs someone who can always send the ball to him, but he lacks of endurance to leave opponent's CB. It's something he must fix it to continue his fury.



Yes but as you can see in the match against Tottenham when de bruyne came in you can see some pass flowing forward which was not often seen in their Matches played without KDB so is not a big deal. give him 3, 4, 5 matches with Kevin available and you will find him with 19 goal al together in the league
And the difference between Salah and haaland is that haaland doesn't work for the ball he will just find the ball in his feet and finish it off on like Salah who must work for the ball look for some spaces before getting to finish it

Manchester United is trying to play differently in matches with its new manager. Manager Amorim is still in the process of getting to know the team. He is also trying to do something with the current squad since he could not get the players he wanted. Therefore, the failures he may experience until the mid-season break in the Premier League are not his responsibility. He will try to somehow get the troubled squad from the past together. However, he will reach the point where he should be criticized next year. If he fails despite the squad he wants being formed next year, then Ruben Amorim may hear high criticism levels.
But even though he couldn't bring in the players he wanted, at least Amorim could maintain the consistency of the Man United squad which is already the best result. Consistent results don't need to be with consecutive wins but I mean if Amorim can bring MU with a draw or win in every match, that's already a good result. And unfortunately to fix the current MU squad is not easy because actually Amorim already knows some players who are not giving the best contribution. So this obstacle makes Amorim have to really fight harder for the future of the team and his career.

Newcastle disappointed fans with their results against West Ham, I didn't expect the match to go West Ham's way, but they played defensively better to secure the three points in the away game. Many individuals will lose their bets from yesterday since they expected Newcastle to win. I do not think Newcastle dominated the match more than West Ham because they only had two shots on goal, while West Ham had six, two were converted into goals. Newcastle is now ranked tenth in the league, and it will be very difficult for them to make it to the top of the table.

Nothing strange because Haaland has no one who can feed him. I know De bruyne was just coming back to the squad last game, and he needs several matches to get his confidence. That's why he was unable to feed haaland caused by he's not at his good condition after he recovered from his injury.

Haaland needs someone who can always send the ball to him, but he lacks of endurance to leave opponent's CB. It's something he must fix it to continue his fury.

Since Moh Salah and Haaland don't play the same position, we can't even compare them. Salah is a left winger, whereas Haaland is a striker. In compared to Moh Salah, who had to struggle to get the ball from the back to score, Haaland was unable to score in their previous matches because he lacked a midfielder who could help him as you mentioned. Despite his recent bad luck, I do not doubt that Haaland will overtake Salah before the season ends since he is still young and De Bruyne is back to help him with a lot of goals.

I am sure that strategy will not work perfectly because it will make it difficult for them to stop the opponent's deadly attacks. Especially if they do not have defenders who have higher roaming abilities when they want to attack or defend.

He wasn't a magician, hoping for an instant result was impossible. I agree the players need a lot of adjustments to the game pattern. Amorim brings new styles and patterns, so they require a process. Let's take a look at the many matches that will run. We'll see how the players work, whether they can work well. Seeing the game, Man United has not been able to carry out the coach's instructions well. I saw some moments of Amorim's facial expressions not being too happy with the performance of some players.
It is very difficult to say if Amorim will fail at Manchester United based on just one game, Amorim of course needs time to rebuild the lame squad after being left by Ten Hag, Adaptation to strategy, game patterns and also selection for a new starting eleven certainly takes time especially if we want to see big changes occur, Amorim who has spent a lot of his time in the Portuguese league certainly brings new and different philosophy, so the players need time to adjust to the style of play applied, we know if now Manchester United is indeed in a transition phase and instant results are often unrealistic, so it is important for the team to stay focused and work hard in every game to get good results later.
I think a new manager should have at least a six-month trial period for the tactics he wants to bring to the team. Because during this period, both the manager can analyze the situation in the team and the players can understand the manager's tactics. Ruben Amorim achieved extraordinary success with Sporting Lisbon. He built a magnificent team. Now they should give him until the end of the season to build the same with Manchester United. I am sure that the fans and management who were so patient with Ten Hag will also be patient with the Portuguese manager.

Amorim talked about how he talked with the media more in his two weeks at United than his entire time with Sporting, and maybe that is true because look at this topic and how much people talk about United. They are definitely a great team, and to be fair they could play terrible, go back to championship, and they would still be talked about more than over half of premier league, they just have that kind of interest all over the world. However, he has to realize that he accepted this position with that in mind as well.

This isn't really something that you do just as a manager, you are doing PR as well when you are at United, every single day, every single thing you say is at media attention, premier league watched a lot, and United is one of the biggest names, no matter where they finish the season. Plus with Amorim now at charge, people are expecting some changes and because of that I believe they will need to do much better as well, there is a pressure.

Amorim is very young and already achieved success in Sporting Lisbon, and if he turns out to be good coach for Manchester United, it will help the club to change a lot, after about a decade with many coaches, a lot of money spent and still struggle to participate in top four of Premier League consistently and not yet competing for Premier League title.
We can't judge Amorim's performance from just one match. Although actually if it was the Manchester United we know they should have won that match. After the match I remember Amorim said that they had a problem in finishing. Amorim is a young coach and he has a lot of time to get Manchester United back on the winning track. And on the other hand I think Amorim has to train the squad with the resources available. I'm sure there will be some obstacles where Amorim doesn't have players who can implement the tactics he wants to play. United is different from Sporting because in Sporting they are all players chosen by Amorim to build a solid squad. I think Amorim should be given the opportunity to evaluate their squad by making some player purchases in this transfer market.
After the transfer window has ended and Amorim has made adjustments to the Manchester United squad by signing new players and selling those who don't fit to be in Manchester United, we can begin to properly evaluate his performance as head coach, as the season progresses. Currently, it seems premature to judge Amorim when there is still a lot of work to be done regarding player signing and selling. Once all that is done, we can then assess how the Manchester United squad has been in terms of their match performance. However, from the beginning of December to the end of the month, we can expect Manchester United to experience a mix of wins, draws, and losses in their matches.

A strange question, and accordingly an obvious answer from Guardiola. If the team's midfield is losing and cannot create enough chances for the striker, then naturally he does not score goals. Another thing is that I saw Haaland's statistics and he has problems with converting chances - if I remember correctly, he scored 2 goals while "wasting" 8 Xg. But everyone has temporary slumps, and at the moment the whole City is playing terribly.
Haaland is a good striker due to his high chance of converting almost all the chances he get in front of goal, he knows how to score goals from different angles, but without creative midfielders, Haaland is nothing in the field that is why when Manchester Midfield is having problem, the front line couldn’t help because the main man relies on the passes from the midfield.
Unlike other strikers who come out to hustle for ball and chances to be created, Haaland is not a natural team player that is why some people don’t like him because he is always missing when City is under pressure.
