What are you talking about? Liverpool lost a game and suddenly, they're not a very strong team this season. Liverpool did play well in this game. They had more of the ball in their possession but failed to utilize that ad they missed a lot of good opportunities to score goals. I'm quite surprised at Liverpool's loss. I had envisaged a tough game and thought both teams would score with Liverpool ultimately winning the game. Both teams did score but Crystal palace surprisingly went on to win the game.
They've managed to give Liverpool their first loss in the season while having not lost a game yet themselves.

Liverpool has been winning games but the fact is that, Liverpool defense has been terrible and today they got punished by palace. I expected that Liverpool coach should have fund a way to reduce the way that, Liverpool is conceiving goals but it continued this lost should sound as a warning to Liverpool moving forward and they should learn from This because Liverpool will have problems with this type of defense line.

Crystal Palace is on a strong upward trajectory, beating Liverpool 2-1, their unbeaten team this season. If it weren't for goalkeeper Alisson, Crystal Palace could have scored a goal or two more. Crystal Palace started the match well, scoring early through Sarr. This good start continued for the rest of the match, and it had an impact. I wonder if Crystal Palace would have been able to dominate the game like they did if Liverpool hadn't started the match like they did. Beating Liverpool, who haven't been defeated in weeks, is a big deal. Congratulations, Crystal Palace.

Unfortunately, when things start to fall apart, it's usually so hard to get them fixed

Lately Liverpool have been fond of making those late winners but just like today, some team might start upsetting them. The defense should be OK so long as the kill of the games as early as first half and avoid the last minute drama including unexpected losses.

Liverpool are handed their first defeat of the season and of course it comes from a very familiar team. Crystal place just know how to beat Liverpool, for the third time in a row Liverpool have failed to beat crystal palace in all competitions. The 100 percent start of the season have finally comes to and end. On the other hand crystal palace remains unbeaten and are only team in the league yet to be beaten.

Arsenal can surely make use of this Liverpool defeat, only, if only they can beat Newcastle at St. James park tomorrow. This is one of the reason you just have to love the premier league, it is very competitive. A win tomorrow for arsenal will close the gap to just 2 points.

Liverpool had 10 straight wins over Palace in the league from 2017–2022, including a 7–0 thrashing. The shift is Oliver Glasner. Palace are in an 18-game winning streak under him, it is their first time ever starting the first six league games unbeaten, and they have earned points in 4 of the past 5 games against Liverpool

Liverpool’s loss was not unlucky either. They controlled 72 percent of the ball and only 5 attempts and 0.30 xG. Isak touched the ball 19 times within 90 minutes and this is screams sterile possession. Palace created nearly three times the quality of the shot per attempt



And also, Arsenal might reduce it to 2 points. But that is a huge "if". They’ve bottled 3 of their last 6 chances to capitalize on rivals' slip-ups, lost their last 3 at St. James’ without scoring, and Newcastle are statistically the hardest team to create against right now. The Prem is competitive, alright, but there is a reason why Arsenal has a 44% win probability there, offered by Opta

Who would have thought that crystal palace would make it to that second position this season...I always concluded that the game would end as a draw but later on crystal palace managed to win..I expected that game to be tough for Liverpool but I didn't expect them to lose to crystal palace. This is the first game that Liverpool has lost this season and I hope it's going to be the last because palace. Might take their position

I've been saying it that Liverpool getting late winners since the start of the season wasn't going to be sustainable for a long time and it happened today; they have been scrapping results off poor performance and they got a better part of their own medicine today.

Crystal Palace left it late given them no chance to react and that makes Crystal Palace 18 games unbeaten run since last season. Played Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester city in the process.

Three straight win now for Brighton against Chelsea they did a double move the blues last season and pull off this very one in a very competitive manner. Biggest problem Chelsea have now and what they have had for a very long time ago is the lack of consistency, they can hardly go on even two to three matches straight win and this will seriously not make them challenge for anything there

Chelsea's form was good at the start, but it became increasingly sluggish as the season heated up. Well, they couldn't optimize their results in three consecutive matches. They failed, losing twice and draw once. In their last match against Brighton, they even lost 3-1 due to a red card. And now, they can only manage to stay in the top 8 only, and probably will be much worse if they are getting worse again in the next matches. .

I would respond with an image to buttress the points I'll give you now.  

Amorim might be a good coach but not a good leader, he always avoids blame and lays them on his players and trust me that's the least way to keep your players motivated.

I don’t know why they are still letting this guy take spot kicks for the team, they need to get someone more better to get the job done. Man keeps missing spot kicks just when he chooses. The last one, he blamed the referee to have annoyed him and didn’t apologize, just imagine that. An important spot kick such as this one when Manchester United were behind by 1 goal is one that he ought to convert but no, he misses it all the same. That’s certainly one way to play against the team. Should he had scored, the whole tempo of the game would have changed.

I enjoyed a tough match between Tottenham vs Wolves in the Premier League today. In today's match, both teams scored equal goals, which is why today's match was a draw. Tottenham team did not perform well in the early stages of the game, but they scored a goal towards the end of the game and drew the match. I expected Wolves team to win this match, but Wolves team could not win because both teams scored 1-1.

As you can see in the picture. The same story for Chelsea is repeating in any game. Their defenders seem so stupid by always getting red card. It gets worsen when Maresca changed his scheme by putting all of defenders on the pitch, and let Joao Pedro played alone upfront. It seems to me they always looked like a finished club when they went down with only 10 men on the pitch, or maybe it's all due to the Maresca's bad subs. He always letting their opponent to control over the game by changing all of their forwards with defenders.

I think Chalobah won't be keeping his place on the team, I won't be surprised if he will be forced out next season and we the fans won't really show much support because he has been disappointing and I'm not even considering the red card  today which wasn't his fault but looking at his performance in recent games it's disappointing for me expect he improves.

Chalobah ain't PL level, and he must be benched. He played like he was still 17, and never change. I don't see he's getting matured, and his gameplay still showed how he still looked like a teenager instead of professional football player.

For Manchester United, all the free kicks are taken by Bruno Fernandes, all the penalty kicks are taken by Bruno Fernandes, but I have not seen any good free kicks from him so far. I would say that there are problems in most of the players in this team. Manchester United have kept players at high prices but I do not see any players who can be effective for the team. I don't know why even if the players who perform well come to Manchester United, they are not seen performing well for Manchester United. A few days ago, Manchester United released Onana and sold Marcus Rashford to Barcelona because they were not able to perform well for Manchester United, but they are performing well again after going to two different clubs. The management can take two decisions in this case, one is to change most of the players in the team and the second is to appoint a good manager to the club.

Liverpool is barely scraping by all their games but they are still winning and if they keep winning this week as well, it's going to be pretty hard to stop their momentum because this run of games at the very start allows them to be ahead of everyone else early on, and even if they have some mishaps along the way, they will keep their top position.

When you are ahead of everyone else so much that even a loss still doesn't lose your position, in that case there is a chance you could probably have the title much easier. Because in many cases, most teams do not start this well, and at the end when they lose, they lose their position as well, or get closer. But if you lead with a lot of points right away, then you are going to be luckier.

Arteta’s decision to start games against top clubs in the league has eventually sparked criticism and mixed reactions amongst the club supporters. I think Arteta needs to grow some balls and field the right players and stop worrying and thinking too much about conceding goals. The problem Arsenal face now against tough opponents is as a result of a lack of creativity and good thing they have creative players now so why leave them on the bench and start players who cannot get the ball up front and create good chances for Gyokeres?

If you evaluate very well you will understand what Arteta is trying to avoid. He doesn't want to repeat the mistakes that he has been making for years now. That is, using same players for every match and competition thereby making them worn out at the 11th hour.
If Arteta can manage his rotation very well, it will give him some lifelines during the ending of the season.
Let's trust he will get it right this time around.

I get it that he is trying to manage his squad by constantly trying to rotate the squad but I really don’t like his preferred choices for important games. They have a striker now that needs creativity upfront to score goals for the team why not field creative players that can get this ball to him?

Jesus Christ! Did I just read someone better?! Could you name a better spot kicker than Bruno Fernandez in that Manchester United squad? Manchester United fans do not hesitate when they have the slightest chance to shit and bash  rhier best and most consistent player. Maybe it's time for Bruno Fernandez to leave the club. Why not blame Harry Maguire and De Ligt for their defensive errors?! I mean that lead to the first two goals Brighton scored.

That was an embarrassing performance by Tottenham honestly. They were horrible during nearly the whole game. I expected Kudus to take some more responsibility but he was also useless.

Wolves deserved to win this game for sure. But they were devastated by a last minute goal. I just can't believe how Tottenham can play like this against the worst team of the season so far. I saw it like a free win man...

Amorim might be a good coach but not a good leader, he always avoids blame and lays them on his players and trust me that's the least way to keep your players motivated. A good leader should take responsibility for the errors of his team and not criticize them publicly. Even if they made mistakes, you allow them save face in public and call them to order privately. I have the impression that he's more like a boss to his players and not a leader. For me even if he's sacked like he said in the morning, his sack is even long overdue.

Is Manchester United really going to sack him after he has failed again on the match?, this comment he made against Bruno Fernandez is like a transfer of aggression because he can't say that it was the penalty that will stop any decision of the club against him, so what if there was no penalty awarded for the Manchester United on the match, would he say the same thing?, so actually this is the kind of statement that makes player feeling very sad not only about missing the penalty but also the accused reason why there couch will be sacked. Bruno has done more than the penalty he loss in the club besides the third goal of Brentford should have convinced them to withdraw that statement because nothing the penalty could have even do.

Amorim was very wrong to have transferred his aggression to Bruno, it absolutely understandable that frustration can set in and this can make a man do or say things that ordinarily, he shouldnt say, especially when you are doing your very best to make your team progress but then and somehow, it seems to you that the team you are working so hard for doesn't even seem to be supportive of all your efforts, but rather, seem to be twarting and making everything more difficult, a man can be moved to make such statements but I still believe that Amorim should have controlled himself no matter his level of fraustration.

Like you guys say, such statements as this can weaken a player more most especially when the player had nothing in mind for the club other than the best, but anyways, both the player and the coach have to come to terms with each other and agree both made a mistake, apologize to each other and move on and continue to fight for the club's glory.

The Early goals was just the problems for Manchester United.  Brentford penetrated Manchester United defense easily in the early hours of the game was embarrassing for a club like Manchester United that had splash millions of dollars to strengthen its team. , what if no penalty was awarded to Manchester United, would Reuben Amorim still be blaming Bruno Fernandez for Manchester United defeat. This was how Marcus Rashford was blamed until he decided to exit the club to join Barcelona. I think Bruno Fernandez should consider leaving Manchester United for good to save his career. Bruno Fernandez continuous stay at Manchester United would give Reuben Amorim more excused to cover up for his incompetence as a coach.

After that equalizer from Paulinho, the way the Tottenham players celebrated the goal left me very disappointing. Both Liverpool and Chelsea dropped point before your game so picking up all maximum point should be your priority especially when playing at home. Wolves have been the worst team in the league this season by far, they have just one point in 6 matches so spurs should have capitalized on that  but Instead they settled for a point.

[satscraper]

I'm a bit disappointed with the performances of both Chelsea and Liverpool yesterday. I bet on their wins, but they both lost ^{Chelsea to Brighton & Hove Albion and Liverpool to Crystal Palace.} As a result, my bankroll has shrunk by around 7.5%. The red card Chelsea received in the second half was particularly frustrating. They were leading 1-0 at the time, but after the red card, they conceded 3 goals. Awful day for me.

Seriously, I don't understand this, did Amorim really say this about Bruno? And again what exactly did Bruno do for Amorim to say this? I didn't watch the Brentford Vs Manchester United game yesterday, I only saw the score line online. So I'm just wondering what he would have done to Amorim for him to say this. About him not taking responsibility, yes that's true, because I have heard him in some few occasions blaming one person or the other after a defeat.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I would like to congratulate Manchester City for their effort even though they couldn't win. Because after an early goal, they defended Arteta's students very well.

Yes, the truth is that it was a totally good game for Arteta, he has shown that he is a great coach, few teams manage to tie a monster like City, I saw the City players very well as a whole, only Arteta managed to see Pep's strategy and that is why he insisted throughout the game, for me one of the best games in the PL.

The truth is , things are Very different Because Amorim Doesn't Usually treat His Players Well I don't Know what happens to Coaches when they join Manchester United they Seem to become Completely Different , Inhumane, and Bad it's like an Epidemic.
