Liverpool are doing more better but Brentford are getting more opportunities against Liverpool in this first half and conceded 2 goals, they need to perform better in the second half if they really what to achieve the three point against Brentford tonight. If Liverpool lost today match i think he will be 5 losses in a role in the Premier League matches and that will be a shameful to slot, how can a big club like Liverpool losing alot of games in a role if they change there tactics in the second half they can get the chance to win the match.

Brentford really prepared to win the match tonight against Liverpool. That’s why we can see that they were able to handle Liverpool tightly to get the best results in this match, and how their performances are going currently now. It will be very difficult for Liverpool to win this match tonight because Brentford has added another goal again. Their current result is 3-1, and you expected Liverpool to win. I don’t think they can make it happen; they should just consider that they will lose this match.

Well, the beauty of football sometimes is competition just like we can see how it’s going on in the English Premier league, the level of competitiveness is top notch as you can see clubs like Sunderland winning Chelsea in Stamford bridge. Although Sunderland before they were relegated some seasons ago, and gained promotion again this season in the English top flight division, they’ve always been a torn in the flesh when playing against top teams in the Premier league, they always find a way to stop the bigger teams. This result just shows the level of competition in the league and that’s what makes it even more stronger and more fun, It’s obviously a very disappointing result for Chelsea considering they’re at home playing Sunderland, the least they could have done is to at least get a draw in this game and share the points instead of losing totally, the Sunderlands winning goal I believe will hurt the Chelsea players and fans because it came at the last minute of the game when they thought they might just be going home sharing the points and all of a sudden Sunderland struck at the last minutes to take all three points. A big win for  Sunderland as it has elevated them even more further in the premier league table to 2nd position.

The victory of Sunderland over Chelsea indicates that the game of football is not primarily about the reputation and stars in the year. History could be made on the pitch by any group of people when the desire of passion and hard work reigns.

This was a disappointment considering that Chelsea had lost at their own home but instances like these are more than enough to show that consistency and mentality are the main factors in a league as competitive as the premier league. It was a just outcome to Sunderland who contested with a goal in mind and self-confidence.

Football is a game where there are no underdog, every team is equal until the 90duration is over, imagine after some good run of form for the world champions losing to Sunderland was the least expected result of the game, the victorious team played with confidence and as we speak the current epl champions are losing to Brentford,Salah for all his achievement could not save the day for his team epl is the home of unset,

Every big team in England should be prepared when they are facing another small team because the reason why some of the big teams are losing is because they underestimate the small team which is affecting them I nrhe game, Liverpool defeated Frankfurt no one believed that they will be losing to Brentford in such a way that even before the 90 minutes everyone is sure they Liverpool has lost the game. Liverpool is not coming back in the game because Brentford is not giving them that chance the Liverpool manager should do better because watching this game you could see that in the second half Liverpool is not playing anything the home team is doing all the performance they are making good attempts Liverpool players are just slow and looking tired, they can't keep losing after all theownu they spent.

Brentford has actually gained more advantage against this match with Liverpool. Wait, is something wrong with Liverpool entirely? Because I don't even understand their matches this time around, since, from their previous matches, Liverpool has been fumbling, and they have totally lost their form at this point. Liverpool players are just playing roughly, and the players didn't coordinate and prepare themselves for the match. I was thinking after so many losses in their previous matches, Liverpool would've regained their original form, but yet their performances are still poor in this game. Well, Brentford are leading by 3 goals while Liverpool is at -1, and I don't think Liverpool will equalise this game since the time has gone far already.

Liverpool > 1

Brentford > 3

Seriously, Sunderland got me so surprised today. I never expected them to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. I was watching the game thinking maybe Chelsea would at least score before the final whistle, but that last minute goal changed everything. You could just feel how painful it was for them to lose that way after trashing Ajax in the champions league.

I just have to give Sunderland some credit. They actually showed real fight and didn’t give up till the end. That’s what I love about the Premier League..  You just can't be too sure who's gonna win a match.

Sunderland really proved that with this result against Chelsea. I’m happy for them because it’s not that easy to get a win like that, especially against a top team like Chelsea.

I saw Chelsea as one of the clubs that can actually win the Premier League title this season because of how Chelsea performed in the Club World Cup and the number of players Chelsea signed this season. But Chelsea's current performance shows that Chelsea isn't in this season title race. For the sake of your health, since you always hold your hands on your chest when watching Chelsea matches this season, i would advise you to stop watching Chelsea matches in the meantime so that you will not develop high BP. Chelsea didn't try against Sunderland because they let their fans down by conceding a last minute goal to Sunderland, which caused them to lose to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge.

The Club World Cup shouldn't be a benchmark for Chelsea's potential to win the Premier League title. Chelsea's performance in the Premier League this season hasn't shown them to be serious title contenders, and I don't even see a good chance of them finishing in the top four in their next few games. Chelsea's form has been too chaotic to be considered title contenders, but they can still improve and up the position at the top four.

Chelsea lost to Sunderland today, Liverpool also lost to Brentford, while Manchester United won against Brighton. Chelsea and Liverpool's losses were unexpected for their fans and surprising to pundits, but Brentford and Sunderland were actually able to take 3 points from these two big teams.

[SatoPrincess]

Can’t believe Manchester are 4th on the league table. I was just having this conversation yesterday with a United fan, he argued that Manchester United will make it to Champions League next season and I thought well that’s not going to happen. But just maybe, maybe Ruben Amorim can prove me wrong.

The funniest thing about this game is Chelsea had them under serious attack from the first half yet could not penetrate Sunderland defence, the only two times Sunderland got Chelsea under the same attack, they could not defend against it and conceded. Tells a lot about Chelsea defenders this season.

This is not the first time this season they're losing a vital point from a leading position.

Brentford got Liverpool under the hook in another surprising game. That's Liverpool 4 straight league loses

The match ended Brentford 3:2 Liverpool

This has actually been a ticking time bomb all the way from last season and now that the teams know who exactly Arne slot is, his second season in the EPL is not going to be fun for him.

Liverpool used to win their matches late by a thin goal margin, and now all you have to do is outscore them or score so many goals early. Problem solved

Me too, with the way this team started this season I thought they will also struggle like they did last season. It's just as if the win against Liverpool has given them extra motivation to try and be winning matches. Liverpool after they won in the champions league and that made us to think that they back only for them to still lose again to Brentford. When this season started, I never thought that Manchester United will be in front on Liverpool that thought never crossed my mind but today it happened. Sunderland is in second position after beating Chelsea.

Salah got on the scoresheet breaking is goal drought but they still lost in all three points.

Liverpool are far from their best, losing their last four EPL games with two now coming at Anfield, which are even the post recents. Focusing too much on the attack and not spending enough in the defense/backline overall have cost them much points and can be more before anything will be done.

Also good job to Brentford showing no fear and fighting, taking their chances to get the win.

The ref tried so hard to help them level the game. Added 7 mins and they ended up playing 10mins. The ref got carried away and didn't want end  the game.

It was an embarrassing officiating from the ref.

Tells a lot about Chelsea defenders this season.

I didn’t expect Chelsea to lose today, Chelsea dominated the match, but they found it so difficult to score in the match, they were just able to score 1 goal in the match which Garnacho scored during the early minutes of the match, and Chelsea couldn’t score any other goal until the match ended.

Chelsea had chances in the match, but they couldn’t take advantage of the chances which they had, most people placed bet on Chelsea to win today, but those people are going to be losing. With how Chelsea played in champions league, most people had confidence in them that they will be winning Sunderland today, but they lost. They didn’t even play draw in the match, Sunderland won them, it came as a surprise to me.

I'm beginning to accept that if a team win the Premier League and the following season they are not going to lift the trophy, the way they do play the following season is always terrible. This was how Manchester City was playing terribly all throughout last season until they later as the season was coming to an end to finish at the top 3. Now Liverpool is out of the top 4 on the table.

I can't believe my eye Sunderland is sitting in second place.  Premier league is now farmers league. There is nothing anyone will say this season that is going to change anything about these league competition. Let's hope Arsenal win them we can have serious more matches but if they lose that sport, Manchester City will take over if they win but if both couldn't, then that's it, the Premier League has successfully becomes irrelevant to me, maybe to others.

From my neutral perspective, I think the referee's decision to add a few minutes of injury time was correct. There were several fouls that spend more time in  injury time, so adding a few minutes was a reasonable decision. This wasn't the referee's way of giving Liverpool a chance to equalize, but it was extra time for the time-consuming fouls.

After all, Liverpool played unimpressively in this match. Their performance was very erratic and I didn't see them having much of a chance to equalize. Brentford really hurt Liverpool and this was their 4 consecutive Premier League defeat. Arsenal will certainly be happy with the result of this match and they can widen the points gap again.

I guess the referee was beginning to enjoy the game when he should have ended it that's why he forgot to make use of his whistle to end the game, I will not mention Liverpool in this case because it was looking like the referee wanted them to end the game in a 3:3 draw that's why he allowed extra 4 minutes when they played 7 minutes of the added time. The referee should be ashamed of himself because after all he did Liverpool couldn't escape the defeat.

I'm also surprised seeing Man United in the 4th place now. Their performance has improved, especially in the attacking line. However, I think it is too early to conclude that Man United will join UCL next season. We are very far from the end of the season. Let's see how far Man United can maintain their good performance! At least we need to wait for until the half of the season. 

The match ended Brentford 3:2 Liverpool

This has actually been a ticking time bomb all the way from last season and now that the teams know who exactly Arne slot is, his second season in the EPL is not going to be fun for him.

Yep, the matched has been over and Liverpool get another defeat. TBH, it is too bad for Liverpool, how can they keep getting bad results? This is the 4th consecutive defeats in the EPL matches. Not sure what's happening with Liverpool and Arne Slot, but they look like having a big problem. In the last season, I didn't see anything wrong with Liverpool squad. This bad performance just happened after they signed Alexander Isak. Liverpool likely has an issue of disharmony among the players. BTW, it is totally not a fun season for Arne Slot.

I have seen this complaint more than 3 places which shows how serious the matter was. I didn't view the match because I was actually busy with work. I was actually happy when Salah scored because I didn't want him to end shameful.

It is yet another defeat for Liverpool but I can say that their games are improving since Salah has started scoring. It is shameful that Liverpool could not just win Brentford. Things are fallen apart seriously but let's be optimistic that things will change for better.

Right from the beginning of this season, Manchester United has been playing very well. Their only problem was the ability to score. Now that they have learnt how to score, their problems are over. And it seems they have adapted to Amorim's method.

Today that I decided to stake my money Chelsea for the second time this season thinking they will be  sunderland at their home ground.  I don't see them as a contender  for the Pl title this season base on their winning consistency. Then as for Liverpool I don't really know what is going wrong with them but they have paved way for Arsenal and city to compete for the title this season.

Amorim is winning the love and respect of Manchester United fans. For the first time in a long time Manchester United supporters can banter other clubs, I see them dragging FIFA Club World Champions Chelsea on twitter lol. Liverpool are also not safe from the banter as their loss today just made them a target for United fans.
