Everything is very hard

“Everything is very hard,” Amorim says as he looks for solutions at Manchester United.

Is there anything more discouraging about Manchester United life?

They will spend Christmas 13th in the table after losing 3-0 at home to “small” Bournemouth. As Cherries owner Bill Foley has put them. For the second consecutive season. They have not been in the bottom half at this point since before the Premier League.

They are so angry at the imposition of a ticket price increase to a flat £66. With no concessions that their followers. Who jeered Ruben Amorim’s team off at the final whistle. Are banding together with supporters of fierce rivals Liverpool to protest when. The two teams play at Anfield on January 5.

In his post-match press conference, Everything is very hard Amorim was just telling the media that he thought the fans were “weary” when a leak from the roof caused water to spill into the first row of journalists, causing one of them to move.

Although many supporters will be pleased to hear that reporters covering their team are being humiliated, it is a public farce.

However, Amorim takes United’s stance seriously. Defender Lisandro Martinez told Match of the Day that he gets “mad” over the circumstances on the field. His employer has to do some research.

“Everything is so hard right now,” Amorim remarked.

“Everyone finds it extremely difficult to lose 3-0 at home when playing for a team like Manchester United.

“The fans are obviously exhausted and really upset. In the opening play, you can sense it in the stadium. Everyone is nervous as Andre Onana pushes the other players and considers his next move during the first goal-kick.

“I recognize that, but we must confront it.”

United has more control over games, if there is one notable change brought about by the. Portuguese in the brief period since he took Erik ten Hag’s place last month.

With 60% today, their possession statistics are impressive. Compared to Bournemouth, United had more shots and more shots on goal. But they lost miserably once more.

They have only lost back-to-back home games against the same opposition by a three-goal margin twice in their history, the other time being against Burnley in the 1960s.

If they stopped giving up goals at set-pieces, that would be a huge boost.

It occurred against Nottingham Forest in their most recent home game and twice at Arsenal earlier this month. Son Heung-min scored straight from a corner at Tottenham on Thursday. Despite manager Andoni Iraola’s subsequent admission that his club is “not a tall team,” Bournemouth managed to win the first half.

However, teenage defender Dean Huijsen effortlessly sidestepped Joshua Zirkzee’s attentions and headed into the far corner after Ryan Christie floated over a free-kick from the right touchline.

Amorim was obviously not in charge of all of them, but United has now given up 17 goals from set pieces in the Premier League in 2024, which is the most they have ever given up in a single season.

The latest incidents do raise the issue of what Carlos Fernandes, the set piece coach who joined Amorim from Sporting, is really up to.

Amorim is Not Assigning Blame, Though.

“I, not Carlos, bear the responsibility,” he declared.

“In both good and terrible times, we work as a team. We do things in a certain way. We are working on that and will make improvements. However, set pieces did not force us to lose. We created more opportunities but failed to score, so we lost.

Martinez was more direct in his remarks to Match of the Day.

The defense for Argentina stated, “We are extremely unhappy with this kind of event,” “Set items in particular require our attention.

“I have a lot of faith in this staff and team. It is a whole different game if they do not score their first goal from a set-piece.

Poor quality is a hindrance to Amorim.

Tyrell Malacia was trusted by the Portuguese to play left wing-back, but they benched the Dutchman at halftime after observing him give the ball away too cheaply too frequently and not contribute anything going forward.

Although he changed sides, Diogo Dalot’s one-goal threat lacked conviction. After switching from his place in a three-man defense to left wing-back, Noussair Mazraoui was involved in a reckless tackle on Justin Kluivert, which gave the attacker the opportunity to double Bournemouth’s lead from the penalty spot.

Only captain Bruno Fernandes posed a threat to the Bournemouth goal going forward, while Marcus Rashford was left out for the third straight game despite being present at Old Trafford to see the regrettable events.

Amorim responded, “It depends, we will see,” when asked if the England forward will be considered for the trip to Wolves on Boxing Day.
