Manchester United’s lack of urgency amid Premier League woes makes head coach Amorim feel “embarrassed”

West Ham United’s first win at Old Trafford since 2007 piled on Manchester United’s misery after the Hammers swept past the Red Devils 2-0 in the Premier League match on Sunday. Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen struck in West Ham’s win, which meant United now have lost 17 games in the Premier League this season, with nine of them coming on home turf. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW VIDEO After the high of last week, when United brushed aside Athletic Bilbao’s challenge to reach the UEFA Europa League final, the Ruben Amorim-managed side was quick to be thrashed. An outraged Amorim said there is a “lack of urgency in everything we do” and a worrying mentality at a club sitting 16th in the standings. “For me the biggest concern is that feeling that ‘it’s OK’, and ‘we cannot change our position so much so it’s OK’,” said Amorim.

Six points separate six teams striving to finish in the top five of Premiership for coveted CL spots

Six points separate six teams striving to finish in the top five of Premiership for coveted CL spots

Published by Webster

The title race in England was bereft of the drama and anxiety of the seasons past. The relegation scrap was lamentably bland. But with only two more game-weeks to unfold before Arne Slot and his merry Liverpool bunch get crowned domestic champs, the pursuit for European riches intensifies to nail-chewing tension, a nudge away from panic attack for fans of the teams locked in a you-miss-I-hit scramble. The premise is simple yet complex—six points differentiate six teams striving to finish in the top five that could secure Champions League spots and European riches (15.7 millions pounds apiece). Four of them are involved in straight match-ups to inflict more chaos on the table that is oscillating faster than the stock market index before polls. Embedding another layer into the intrigue is that four of them have fate in their own hands (Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle United), yet a momentary stumble could push them back to the queue’s tail. They would even agonisingly watch one of Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United, destined to finish outside …

‘There has never been an easy game’: Arne Slot rubbishes claim of Liverpool having easy run to Premier League title | Football News

Published by Webster

There have been detractors of Liverpool’s imminent Premier League title triumph who have been saying that the Merseyside club had an easy road to the trophy. But manager Arne Slot rubbished those opinions saying that there are no easy games in the top flight of English football. “I think it has never been so exciting for a top-four, top-five finish. The year before, it was quite clear which clubs would probably get the first three or four positions. It’s never been as hard to end up top four or top five in the Premier League,” he said. “In my opinion, it’s a really difficult league because that’s what I’ve experienced over here. There has never been an easy game. It has always been really hard to win a game of football, but maybe that tells you something about us. Although we aren’t the only team in this league who finds it hard to win a game of football by a margin of three or four goals. That was maybe easier two, three, four, five years …

Arsenal’s hopes of catching up to Liverpool at the top of the table suffered an almighty blow when they were shocked by 16th placed West Ham United on Saturday. Arsenal, who are bereft of most of their forward players with Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli all out injured, suffered another setback when midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off with a red card. West Ham had taken the lead in the 44th minute when Jarrod Bowen scored from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka assist. The Gunners tried as hard as they could but could not find an equalizer with Mikel Arteta’s team still 7 points behind league leaders Liverpool who play Manchester City on Sunday. Last week, Spain’s Mikel Merino eased Arsenal’s attacking concerns with two late goals off the bench to secure a 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Leicester on Saturday that kept the Gunners in the Premier League title race.
