Lot's of talk of giving Amorim more time, letting him try out the system, and getting a free hit. Ok that's fine, and sensible and they can't keep firing managers. But also how much time?
Maybe it's just not their season and there's no god given right for them to be at the top. Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa will get better too. If they can just get used to the idea that they should have some direction and a coherent playing identity, maybe just do that and relax a bit and enjoy the rides or the games. It's this "we are Manchester United, we must be winning league titles" thing that is their curse. You see it now with Arsenal, every game is a must-win, look at how they're hyping the game against you this week---at the end of the day, as a fan, you need to allow yourself to just enjoy the sport.
The one advantage they have is a continued willingness to spend over the odds, but at some point they'll start loosing their allure.
They might very realistically simply become the new Spurs, or like how we were in the 90s between Dalglish and Klopp. However, we had less 'big' teams at the top, top four is tougher now for the teams not competing for the title. There's no guarantee they get top 4 every year let alone challenge for the title.
At some point they'll get resigned to a new normal they can relax in being a mid-table team.
Also they need to stop overhyping their kids. Macheda, JizzJazz, Maino, Garnacho, Diallo....not every kid that shows some promise is the next Lamine Yamal. It doesn't help the development of the kids in question either.
