Manchester United suffered another defeat in the 19th round of the Premier League, losing at home to Newcastle. In the first half, Isaac scored with a header just four minutes into the game, and then Joe scored another header for Newcastle in the 19th minute. After this loss, one player is unlikely to get another chance. Manchester United lost 0-2, and we can now see that Ten Hag's protégé is lazier than Martial, scoring only one goal in eight games and being substituted after 33 minutes. Manchester United has lost four consecutive games, failing to score in the last three matches. At the halfway point of the Premier League season, United has only managed to secure 22 points. Last season, they finished eighth, but currently sit in 14th place. In their first game of the new year, Manchester United will visit Anfield to face league leaders Liverpool. Given their current form, this match looks ominous. It is unlikely that Manchester United forward Zirkze will play in the next game against Liverpool, as his performance has disappointed coach Amorim. In the match against Newcastle, Zirkze started the game, but had 15 touches and lost possession seven times, with nine passes and only three successful ones. He lost the ball too often, and both of Manchester United's goals were related to Zirkze. Before the first goal, Dalot's long pass was intended for Zirkze, but he reacted slowly, not ready to receive the ball, and missed it with his leg, resulting in an out-of-bounds play. Newcastle took advantage of this opportunity to organize…

Liverpool's 5-0 victory over West Ham United is considered a masterpiece under the management of Jurgen Klopp. However, the match also left a regret for Liverpool - in the 37th minute, Liverpool central defender Joe Gomez was substituted due to injury, forcing Klopp to send young trainee Konsa onto the field. Konsa, who is the captain of Liverpool U21 and the England youth team, has serious lack of game experience. He has been learning from Van Dijk in the Liverpool first team for a long time, but he not only failed to learn Van Dijk's defensive skills, but also likes to confidently carry the ball forward in the backcourt, resulting in the consequences of imitating without success. This season, Konsa made consecutive mistakes in two games where he came on as a substitute, causing Klopp to completely lose confidence in him. If it weren't for the fact that there were only Konsa and Van Dijk left in the team, Klopp would never have let Konsa play. Also, Liverpool had already taken the lead before Gomez got injured, otherwise, Yuto Nagatomo might have become the first choice for the substitute center-back. Liverpool's performance this season has indeed been eye-catching, but the loopholes in the defense are also very obvious: Konate's injury gave Gomez, who had previously performed unstably, the opportunity to play, although Gomez's performance in these few games was quite good, but no one can guarantee that he will not make another low-level mistake again. This time, Gomez's injury once again reduced the quality of Liverpool's defense. Although as long…

On December 30th, Beijing time, in the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Leicester City away from home. In the first half, Savigno scored for Manchester City, and in the second half, Haaland contributed a goal, helping Manchester City secure 3 points. This victory ended Manchester City's five-game winless streak, providing a sigh of relief for the team's head coach, Pep Guardiola. Moreover, Manchester City discovered a pleasant surprise during the match. They found a gem with a 2-0 victory! A 22-year-old rising star shone brightly, earning high praise from Coach Guardiola, and a new Palmer was born. In previous matches, Manchester City typically maintained a high possession rate, leading their opponents in ball control. However, in this game against Leicester City, Manchester City changed their tactical approach, playing more pragmatically without excessively pursuing possession. Their tactics became simpler and more efficient. In this match, Manchester City had a possession rate of 46%-54%, trailing behind Leicester City. From this statistic, it appears that Coach Guardiola is no longer stubborn. After a series of winless games, he made significant adjustments to the tactics. During the game, Savigno, who joined Manchester City this summer, scored his first goal after joining the club. He later assisted Haaland in scoring, making him the best player in this match. Additionally, James McAtee, a substitute player for Manchester City, also stood out with his performance after coming on the field. Not only did Coach Guardiola change the tactics in this game, but he also gave McAtee, who rarely played before, an opportunity. McAtee…

On December 31, 2024, for Manchester United's young player Zirkzee, it was the heaviest day of his life. This day was not only the last day of 2024, but also one of the lowest moments in Zirkzee's career. In the match against Newcastle, Manchester United suffered a 0-2 defeat, with Zirkzee, as a starting player, being substituted after only 33 minutes on the field, and then emotionally broke down, unable to hold back his tears on the spot. A performance repeatedly questioned: Zirkzee's dilemma and depression During the summer transfer window, Manchester United spent a high fee of 36.5 million pounds to bring in the 23-year-old Zirkzee from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. As a promising young player, Zirkzee's arrival was highly anticipated, hoping that he could bring new offensive vitality to the team. However, reality gave the fans a cruel answer. Although Zirkzee performed well in the Netherlands, he has never been able to show his due level on the field of Manchester United. From the beginning of the season until now, Zirkzee's performance has been in a trough. In the match against Newcastle, he still failed to break through his bottleneck. The game had barely started for less than 20 minutes when Manchester United was already trailing 0-2, and Zirkzee had no highlights on the field, almost invisible in the attack and with no outstanding performances in defense. Worse still, when the game reached the 33rd minute, head coach Amorim made a shocking decision - to replace Zirkzee with Menu. This substitution not only shocked the fans and teammates,…

In Chelsea's annual closing match, the opponent was Ipswich Town. Chelsea had many chances in this game but were unable to break through the opponent's goal, and their defense also made consecutive mistakes. In the first half, Jonsson conceded a penalty, and Delap converted it to breach Chelsea's goal. In the second half, Delap assisted Hutchinson in scoring against his former club, resulting in a complete defeat for Chelsea. Chelsea lost 0-2, and we can now see the shortcomings of their 52 million euro forward: missing a half-open goal opportunity + only 1 goal in 10 matches, and being the first player to be substituted. As Chelsea lost to Ipswich Town, they have now gone three rounds without a win, gradually falling behind their title contenders Liverpool. On the current Premier League leaderboard, Liverpool is ranked 1st with 45 points from 18 rounds, Nottingham Forest is 2nd with 37 points from 19 rounds, Arsenal is 3rd with 36 points from 18 rounds, while Chelsea has slipped to 4th place with 35 points from 19 rounds. Newcastle is 5th with 32 points from 19 rounds, and Manchester City is 6th with 31 points from 19 rounds. Ipswich Town is a newly promoted team in the Premier League, currently placed in the relegation zone. Chelsea's loss to such an opponent is difficult for fans to accept. Chelsea rotated their lineup for this match, with regular substitute forward Felix starting. Judging by Felix's performance, there is a reason why he sits on the bench at Chelsea; Felix should remain a substitute, and it…

How difficult is it to never be relegated in the Premier League? Only 6 teams have achieved it, including Everton, while even a strong team like Manchester City has not accomplished it. The Premier League, one of the most watched leagues in European football, has attracted the attention of fans worldwide since its inception in 1992. The league has developed for over 30 years, gradually improving and seeing an increase in the strength of its teams. Some weaker teams in the league have been relegated, with some perhaps returning to the Premier League and others possibly falling into obscurity. So, in the more than 30-year history of the Premier League, which teams have never been relegated? Let's take a look today. Everton - Best Result: Fourth Place Although Everton has never won the Premier League title, the Toffees have never been relegated in their 33-year history in the Premier League. In the inaugural season of the Premier League, Everton finished 13th with 53 points, successfully remaining in the top flight. In subsequent seasons, despite not having any standout performances, Everton managed to stay in the Premier League, continuing to compete at the highest level of English football. The 2004-05 season saw Everton achieve their best result in the Premier League to date, finishing fourth with 61 points from 18 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses. Everton also finished fifth in the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, maintaining a mid-table position in subsequent seasons. In the 2022-23 season, Everton narrowly avoided relegation by finishing fourth from bottom. In the 2023-24 season, Everton…

In the world of football, the emergence of every new star carries the expectations and dreams of countless fans. 17-year-old Arsenal youngster Nwaneri is writing his own chapter with his efforts and talents on the green field. Since this season, his performance has been eye-catching, making people wonder: can this young talent become Arsenal's next legend? Nwaneri's Path from Youth Academy to First Team Nwaneri, the outstanding rising star cultivated by Arsenal's youth academy, has shown extraordinary football talent since childhood. During his time at the academy, he trained hard, constantly improving his ball skills and physical fitness. He not only watched all the important derby matches but also personally went to the Emirates Stadium to cheer for his beloved team. These experiences undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for his football career. This season, Nwaneri finally welcomed his opportunity. With injuries to first-team players and the trust of the coach, he gradually gained more playing time. In the League Cup match against Bolton, he even got the chance to start and scored two valuable goals. At that moment, he seemed to become the focus of the court, and all his efforts and sweat turned into the joy of success. His family was also there to witness his growth and breakthrough, which was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement and support for him. North London Derby and Champions League Debut: Nwaneri's Highlight Moments Speaking of Nwaneri's highlight moments this season, it is impossible not to mention the North London Derby and his Champions League debut. In the North London Derby, he made his…

In the Premier League's 19th round of matches, both Manchester United and Chelsea suffered defeats. Manchester United faced Newcastle United at home, where they have been consistently underperforming, setting new lows. In their match against Newcastle United, Manchester United conceded quickly, with their goal breached in just the fourth minute. A cross from Hall was headed in by Isak, exposing United's vulnerability to simple flank crosses. United failed to learn from this mistake and were again caught out by a similar tactic, with Gordon assisting Joelinton for another header. Two headers proved too much for Onana to handle, leaving United with no choice but to accept a 0-2 defeat, extending their losing streak to four games. Despite playing at home, Manchester United managed only 10 shots, with a poor quality that saw just one on target, making it unsurprising that they failed to score. Players like Hojlund, Zirkzee, and Amad Diallo were ineffective, and substitutes Garnacho and Antony made no impact either. Rashford spent the entire game on the bench. Chelsea also suffered an unexpected loss, which was hard to believe given that their opponent was Ipswich, ranked second-to-last. Chelsea's misfortune began early when they conceded a penalty, converted by Delap. Despite attempts by Palmer hitting the post and Nkunku missing an open goal, as well as Felix having a goal disallowed for offside, Chelsea remained goalless. Their misfortunes continued in the second half when Delap assisted Hutchinson for another goal, breaking the psychological defenses of the Chelsea players. No matter how Maresca changed the lineup, it had no effect,…

Yesterday's football world was once again filled with excitement, with several major events drawing attention. Both Manchester United and Chelsea suffered defeats, plunging the Premier League giants into trouble; former Russian international Bugayev died on the front lines, causing sighs; while Real Madrid's Mbappe was named Player of the Month, continuing to demonstrate his unparalleled influence. At the same time, Barcelona has once again failed to register, continuing to face financial and competitive dual crises. Below is a detailed analysis of the events. Manchester United suffered another defeat at the hands of Newcastle, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under immense pressure. Despite playing at Old Trafford, they were unable to break their recent slump. Newcastle's forward, Isaac, took advantage of a defensive error by United to score early in the game, followed by another goal from Joelinton. This loss further jeopardized United's position in the Premier League table. Although Marcus Rashford returned to the squad after four games, he did not get the chance to play. The two posts hit by Tonali and Maguire only highlighted their bad luck. Solskjaer's tactics have also been heavily criticized: Bruno Fernandes was forced to retreat, and Hylund still lacked support. The Red Devils, who once splashed passion at the Theater of Dreams, are now experiencing a low point. Fans can't help but ask if this Manchester United team can return to its peak? On the other side, Chelsea's mediocre performance is also worrying. When challenging newly promoted Ipswich away, the Blues once again exposed their shortcomings in both attack and defense. Drapp's penalty and…

On December 31st, Manchester United suffered a defeat, and Amorim found himself on the pillar of shame. In the early hours of today, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Newcastle, causing the 70,000 fans at Old Trafford to completely break down, while Amorim on the sidelines fell into despair. Before joining Manchester United, Amorim was synonymous with victory at Sporting Portugal. However, upon arriving at Manchester United, his magic seemed to disappear instantly. He appeared lost; when he first joined the team, he had a full smile, but now he is always seen with a worried expression, often holding his head in frustration. Amorim has been unable to lead the team out of its difficulties, both offensively and defensively. In his first 11 games coaching Manchester United, Amorim conceded a total of 20 goals, with a defense that was as flimsy as paper. In these 11 games, his record was dismal, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses. Since Amorim took over Manchester United, only one team in the entire Premier League has lost more games than Manchester United (6 losses), which is Southampton (7 losses). It's not an exaggeration to say that Manchester United is now a super weak team that everyone can bully. According to statistics from the British media, Amorim's first 8 rounds of league matches at Manchester United resulted in 5 losses, the worst record among all Manchester United managers (tied with two others), the first such occurrence in 103 years! After joining Manchester United, Amorim insisted on using a three-center-back tactic, but this strategy did…
