Manchester United fans have hit a new low ahead of their trip to Liverpool this weekend, with another hard-fought victory at Anfield expected.
Regardless of where both teams sit in the Premier League, this remains the biggest game in English football. Liverpool host United at Anfield on Sunday and all signs point to a home win, but that fixture has produced upsets in the past.
Ahead of the game, we spoke to former Morning Star sports editor Kadeem Simmonds (@KadeemSimmonds) about his team’s struggles, Liverpool’s title challenge and more. I heard about it. How disappointing was Manchester United’s season? Manchester United, England – Tuesday 3 October 2023: UEFA Champions League Group A match between Manchester United FC and Galatasaray S.C. Manchester United’s Mason Mount during the match at Old Trafford. Galatasaray won 3-2. It’s a big disappointment not to be able to continue last season.
I didn’t expect to win the Champions League, but I expected to advance easily in the playoffs.Finishing to the bottom was the best I could do. I didn’t want to spend a season in the Europa League and this team needs a week to figure out what they are doing on the training ground and for the players to recover from injuries.
League form has been up and down and the fact that we are 10 points off top spot and six points off fourth place means our disaster of a season isn’t bad.As long as we’re still looking for January, I’ll take it. But the injuries have been ridiculous and consistent with an unreliable team, and the slightest injustice can send them into a spiral.But for now, this is the natural cycle of Sir Alex Ferguson’s tenure as United manager.
Get off to a good start. Think about turning a corner only to realize that the corner leads right back to where you started. Is it time for a change of managers? Not yet. I know we have enough players, but what worries me is that Erik ten Hag has been in charge for 18 months. There are too many matches where there is no style of play at all.
It’s not possession-based football, it’s not transition football.Injuries have played a role, but he’s been working with these guys for over a year and should be able to do the basics of what they want. It might be delusional to think that bringing in the likes of Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Christian Eriksen would add stability to the squad, but Erik has had a few weeks to play against his favorite XI and see what he does.
I think it is worth it. be watched . At the store when he signed autographs in the summer.For a team that had no chance of winning the league this year and for whom a top four finish was the best anyone could hope for, it seems pointless to sack them mid-season and take it from end without completing a rebuild. The FA Cup is achievable and a top four finish is still possible.
Who is Manchester United’s most disappointing player this season? Manchester United, England – Saturday 26 August 2023: Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana during the FA Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Nottingham Forest FC at Old Trafford. Manchester United won 3-2.
Oh my. I am firmly in the camp that David de Gea was forced to leave and remain so to this day. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Onana. Because his technique is poor and the goals he concedes look worse than they actually are.But some mistakes are unforgivable at any level, let alone the highest.
There’s still time to turn things around, and the number of shots he’s taking makes it even worse. However, he will need a very strong second half of the season if he is to keep his place in 2024.Did everything go well? Liverpool, England – Sunday, November 26, 2023: Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United scores the first goal during the English Premier League match between Everton FC and Manchester United FC at Goodison Park. Alejandro Garnacho had great moments and Cobby Mainu impressed when he was on the pitch.
I think they were good.Before his recent injury, Hoylund had impressed in the Champions League and was unlucky not to score in the Premier League. All the injuries made everyone get in shape.Scott McTominay was not doing well. His goals are worthless compared to his lack of passing, defending and everything needed in midfield.
What would you like to change about the club? London, England – Tuesday 5 May 2009: Manchester United’s Abram (left), Joel Glazer (centre) and Brian Glazer (right) during the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at the Emirates Stadium owner. Always the owner. If he leaves, the general mood at the club and among the supporters will improve. That doesn’t mean the new Jim Ratcliffe will immediately change the fortunes of the club, but there is hope that the structural changes will leave us both confused and entertained.
What do you think about VAR? In his favor? Toulouse, France – Thursday 9 November 2023: VAR review to rule out Liverpool’s third equalizer during the UEFA Europa League Group E match between Toulouse FC and Liverpool FC at Stade Toulouse. VAR is good. The problem is not with the technology, but with the people who use it.
There are ways to organize processes, but with people in charge, mistakes will always happen.Looking at Liverpool, how do you rate their chances of winning? Liverpool have a legitimate chance, no matter how many fans ignore it.All he has to do is participate in the race in the last few months. Then anything can happen.
