Of course, Amorim need the players of his taste to fit into his game tactics. United management need to support him and get those players he needs so that he can bring out the best in him to improve the team. They are quick to accept defeat and feel reluctant when they are on the lead, gambling with their victory. A reshuffle will reshape the team.
Yes, maybe that is one of the many reasons why Amorim has not been able to bring Manchester United to win consistently. But for now he must maximize the existing player resources, to be able to maintain and improve MU's position in the standings, before the summer transfer market opens. Currently MU is still filled with extraordinary players, but it seems that they do not fit the coach's scheme. There are still many matches that Manchester United must go through before the winter ends, and Amorin must achieve the best results before the big changes really happen.

Nobody expected such a result, especially after 15 minutes of the first half, when Tottenham scored 2 goals and could have scored the third, and Cucurella made 2 gross mistakes that led to the goals and I thought Maresca would replace him at half time, but Cucurella changed his boots and helped the team to win.
Palmer is a phenomenal player and probably Chelsea's best transfer in 10 years. Palmer scored 23 goals and gave 13 assists in 2024, and before him only Hasselbaink did that 23 years ago.
It's a mystery to me why Palmer hasn't been nominated for the golden ball award yet with his stats.
Tottenham as always failed to show their character on the pitch and fell apart after four Chelsea goals and you can see that the team just has no character and whoever coaches Tottenham this always happens.
Usually in the second half Tottenham play better, but not in this match, they played badly in the second half so they were unable to take advantage and maintain their advantage. Even for the second penalty that Chelsea got, it was a violation that should not have been done by Tottenham's back line. And in this match, Palmer took 2 penalty executions, he kicked the ball well and I saw no hesitation when he executed the 2 penalties. so that in the end Tottenham had to lose narrowly in this match, and on the other hand thanks to this victory Chelsea managed to overtake Arsenal's position and now Chelsea is in second place in the standings.
