These have been debunked so often it seems like a waste of time, so I'll just make these quick and give links instead of copying and pasting.

A comprehensive anti-missionary counter-missionary book - 9. The King Messiah“O Bethlehem Ephrathah, the one too little to get to be among the thousands of Judah, from you there will come out to me the one who is to become ruler in Israel.”—Micah 5:2.
Fulfillment: Jesus was born in Bethlehem. When Caesar Augustus ordered a census, Jesus’ foster father, Joseph, was obliged to go from Nazareth to “Judea [Judah], to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem, because of his being a member of the house and family of David, to get registered with Mary.” While there, Mary “gave birth to her son” Jesus.—Luke 2:1-7.
Ignoring the fact that the chosen verse means that he should have died with the rich and not the criminals, and buried with the wicked, not a rich man's grave...“He will make his burial place even with the wicked ones, and with the rich class in his death.”—Isaiah 53:9.
Fulfillment: Jesus was executed alongside two condemned criminals, yet he was buried in a quarried-out tomb donated by a wealthy believer—Joseph of Arimathea.—Matthew 27:38,57-60; John 19:38.

This chronology is wrong and culminates in a counter textual claim of "anointed with" a spirit even though the anointing has to be with a specific oil.“From the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Leader, there will be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks.”—Daniel 9:25.
Fulfillment: The period of time specified in Daniel’s prophecy amounts to 69 units of 7 years each, or 483 years. The rebuilding of Jerusalem began in 455 B.C.E. As prophesied, 483 years (69 weeks of years) later, in 29 C.E., Jesus became the Anointed One, or Messiah, when he was baptized and anointed with God’s holy spirit.*—Luke 3:21, 22.

Except that a law is not a contract, so once I drive the speed limit on Tuesday this does not mean that I can break the speed limit on Wednesday. And the covenant (and the laws) are textually claimed to be eternal so any sense of their being "no longer binding" contradicts the text.As to how Christ fulfilled the Law of Moses, this quote explains: "To illustrate: A builder fulfills a contract to complete a building, not by ripping up the contract, but by finishing the structure. However, once the work has been completed to the client’s satisfaction, the contract is fulfilled and the builder is no longer under obligation to it. Likewise, Jesus did not break, or rip up, the Law; rather, he fulfilled it by keeping it perfectly. Once fulfilled, that Law “contract” was no longer binding on God’s people." Thus, " Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising faith may have righteousness." (Romans 10:4)
