[Slow death]

Amorim has shown why he was the right manager for Manchester United to bring into the club. The team had lost their identity under the management of Erik Ten Hag. Manchester United look different now, even their post match press conferences are different. Amorim is a good manager who knows how to handle his players on the pitch and also deal with the pressure of when they underperform.

Just because Amorim has been able to win his last 3 matches, then he is now the right manager for Manchester United, everyone has concluded already that Amorim is the best coach for Manchester United, people are no longer complaining about Amorim again.

We all can see how Amorim has been performing poorly since last season, and all Manchester United fans has been criticizing him, have seen lots of Manchester United fans call for Amorim sack because of his poor performance, but Manchester United fans are now saying Amorim is the right manager for Manchester United just because of 3 consecutive wins.

Let’s wait and see if Manchester United will continue with their good performance, but I feel it’s just too early to conclude that Amorim is the best manager for Manchester United, I know Manchester United fans are so happy right now, and they have already forgotten the harm which Amorim did to the club.

All the other coaches who came to Manchester United had at least two seasons with the team, and were given that chance. But strangely, some people were quick to blame Amorim for the poor performances, knowing that he hadn't even completed a full season with the players he signed.

So, it seemed like some kind of sabotage to me, but the Manchester United board understood that they shouldn't fall for that kind of thing, but that they should give Amorim a chance so that they can have stability at the club. It's not good to fire a coach; it takes time to build a good team. Alex Ferguson didn't win titles every year, but he still stayed with the team for many years.

Amorim received good support from Manchester United but he is not the only coach has it since Sir Alex Ferguson retirement. There are hope and also disappointments with Ruben Amorim management so far but now they return to winnings that temporarily bring hope. Having only one point less than a third club in Premier League is a quite unbelievable position with Manchester United only several weeks ago when they were at bottom of performances and disappointments.

At least latest good results give them hope about future as well as good momentum for fighting and winning coming matches which if they succeed to win and have full three points, will gradually build up their confidence, increase their quality and also improve their rank in Premier League.

I think you are the only one that see it that way, that game was a good and fear game to be honest,
The result flattered the opponent a little but Liverpool did well

I really wonder how some people watch a football match. How will you be saying that Liverpool played well. I think Liverpool played very badly and they don't even deserve a draw in the match against Brentford. I was watch the post match interview and Arne Slot even said they have lost matches this season, but this is the worst of them all, he said they had a very poor performance,  so I am just surprised you are saying it's a fair game and result does not reflect the game. My dear Liverpool were every poor and they deserve to lose. I hope they pick up fast, because if they continue this way, they might not even end up in the top 4 at the end of the season.

The result flattered the opponent a little but Liverpool did well, like wish Manchester city who lost to Aston Villa the game is like but the result is not a full reflection of the game and the affect the player put into it.

I don’t know what your idea of a good game is but that was a definitely not a good game for Liverpool. Their backline was exposed and the attack was very poor.  With these kind of performances I don’t see Liverpool winning the league.

[Volgastallion]

Yesterday game between Everton and Totenham was the first time i really saw the new pitch of Everton, i dont like it so much about the whole picture but it is more open, or at least it is what i saw, i mean in the previous stadium the pitch seems small,but in this one didnt seems small.

Aside of that, Totenham comes back to they normla path and took a very good win.

Is incredible to see a super shitty Manchester United between the top and in the same position as Liverpool.

When you search for: "how much money did Ruben Amorin spend on Manchester United on signings" we see that he didn't spend much money:

https://www.transfermarkt.com/ruben-amorim/spielertransfers/trainer/65202

When compared to previous coaches, Amorin is showing results with little expenditure of money. I think the criticisms people made about him were greatly exaggerated. There are things a coach can't do when he has a squad of players who aren't motivated to play, which was the case with the former Manchester United squad. But today we can all see that this squad is motivated to play well.

Maybe good games if dominance ball possession but loss the result, Liverpool have poor performance after loss many game in premier league and have the same loss than last season after playing 38 games. Now Liverpool loss 4 of 9 games and still have many possibility game will loss for 29 premier league matches left.
Brentford is not strong team but Liverpool can't winning the games and must wake up for next match if drop out to bottom position standings, Liverpool's standing outside from top fourth position if won't loss chance as premier league winner defending must get three points for all premier league matches left.

Liverpool squad and everything is fine, I don't think they have issue with anything as it stands now rather the only issue they have now is that, I think they lack cooperation and coordination because there is no player in Liverpool someone will tell me that is not good, all there players are good is just that they have not understand each other well. Imagine a good striker like Isak have not scored the least 5 goals, if at all he has even scored 2 or 3 that is to show that something is wrong not with the defense. The earlier  they put things together the better for them and this was how Real Madrid was doing  last season until they ended up not winning anything.

[el kaka22]

I am not going to lie, I assumed Amorim would stay bad, think about it this dude averaged less than 1 points per game for nearly 30 games, why would I trust him? I assumed he would stay bad and for some reason I did not understand them not firing him. They have given him some more chance and here we are, they are doing better. Wil he keep doing this great?

We have no idea, we have to wait and see, but if he does keep going this great then I am going to see them back into UCL and I did not expected a United, with Amorim mostly, fail to be in top 14, and then suddenly be in top 4 but it is looking possible at the point and that's weird. If he can make that work, next year will be even better for them and can get some more great players.

[Velvet78]

Amorim continues to win, yeah. 3 wins in a row now... Can he make it 4 times in a row you think? The next game is an away one against Forest.

Forest are still the same. The change to Sean Dyche hasn't made an immediate effect. I think they will struggle in this one too.

I'm thinking of a bet on Manchester United win. 2.15 looks just great! 

[Minor Miner]

Manchester United are in very good form. They have won their last three matches. And they have beaten three strong teams in each of those three matches. Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton are all very strong. Sunderland are currently in fourth place in the table. On the other hand, Liverpool have been at the top of the table for a long time. We have seen United players perform well against such strong teams. Is Nottingham Forest a tough opponent for Manchester United at the moment?

Nottingham Forest are one of the weakest teams in this Premier League. They are in the relegation zone and have lost their last four matches in a row. Securing 3 points in this match should not be a difficult task. If United can win this match, they might be in the top 4 of the table.

Nottingham Forest is sinking. They're just a relegation club at this moment. It seems worthy enough to bet straight win on MU considering the odds is very tempting. It's hard to refuse betting on them while it offers more than 2.00.

I ain't see Sean Dyche as a problem even when he makes his team gets a manager bounce. I believe it won't be worked against MU. I'm fully favoring MU to win it just the same like when they beat Brighton in the previuos game.

I'd call myself as a dumb guy by missing a chance to flip my money for more than 100% profit. It's ez money.

Well I think I have learnt my lesson with the last game Manchester United played, I played Brighton to win Manchester United on Saturday when they played off and to my greatest surprise Manchester United shocked me and they won that game so well that I was instantly impressed by their performance but even at that I don't think am comfortable enough playing them to win but again Nottingham Forest are in their worse form so maybe amorim and his boys might hit 4 wins in a row.

[SatoPrincess]

You're right time is needed for any coach to prove what he has inside of him, Manchester United is beginning to take shape that is because the coach was not sacked when results were not going their way. Clubs should sometimes keep faith on their coaches even though results are not going their way because sometimes a club can be playing well but may not be getting results,just like Manchester United that has been struggling ever since Amorim took over as manager but now we are beginning to see the effects of his hardwork play out.

I didn’t think you were a Manchester United fan, you guys are really coming out of the shadows now. Amorim is doing pretty good, he’s a big step up from Erik Ten Hag but just a few weeks ago Manchester United supporters were calling for him to get sacked. The victory buys him more time, his contract states that he must win a trophy. I’m curious how United owners will react if they don’t win silverware but the team has made significant progress. Would they be patient with Amorim?

Yesterday game between Everton and Totenham was the first time i really saw the new pitch of Everton, i dont like it so much about the whole picture but it is more open, or at least it is what i saw, i mean in the previous stadium the pitch seems small,but in this one didnt seems small.

Aside of that, Totenham comes back to they normla path and took a very good win.

Is incredible to see a super shitty Manchester United between the top and in the same position as Liverpool.

Yesterday was also the first time Everton lost in their new stadium and pitch. Tottenham also remains unbeaten this season when they have played away games. It will never be a good record pr history losing three goals at home during the first game played in the new stadium.

Yea, Thomas Frank did a fine job with his tactics against Everton, the real test comes up when they host Chelsea next.

Man United signings have helped them improve and having a coach that knows what he is doing has helped them. Liverpool may sack Arne Slot if he fumbles further.

[FanEagle]

I must say Manchester United deserves it. They say tough times don't last forever, but then, I wasn't amongst those who would say the same about Manchester United at the start of the season. Here am I also saying otherwise, lol. Thanks to Ruben Amorim for helping to reset the culture of this great club. Having the right management, manager and also special players who can carry put your project does the trick. That 4-2 win against Brighton,  Brighten me up every now and then.

Burnley, Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur the next three fixtures for them. Getting 7 points or 9 would be grand. Let's not push the winners of the EPL thing too far. The EPL after match day 9;

They started the season HORRIBLY, like literally lost to fourth division team levels of horrible, it wasn't even remotely ok levels. However, for the past 5 weeks or so, just all over a month, they have figured out a way to fix their issues somehow, no idea how but they finally did it and now they are getting good results.

I really wonder when they are going to get 5 wins in a row, I have followed that hair guy who hasn't shaved since over a year ago, only to shave when he ends up with 5 United wins. We are at 3 games now, the other two is Nottingham, who looks like they are on a tumbling situation and could be an easy win for United, but the other game is Tottenham who had a great year so far, so anything could happen.

Liverpool Football Club is still completely distraught after their move to Brentford, because we can already see that they are already one goal behind against the home team. This group has broken our hearts before, even today they are playing so badly to face the same situation. The The Reds' performance at the Getch Community Stadium has been very poor so far, the team also lost to bitter rivals Man United at Anfield last week, their inconsistent performance against Brentford proves they are not united. Brentford are just a few points above the relegation zone, yet they are the ones threatening the promising Reds today. I faith One of Liverpool's attractions was the German player, but this player has been constantly disappointing them, and may be useless against Brentford in this game.

Liverpool's poor run in the league continues. It's difficult to understand how Manchester United and Brentford keep losing to these teams.
Salah scored a goal towards the end of the match, giving Liverpool hope, but it didn't happen this week, and they were losing.
Liverpool can't control the game like they used to, and this match wasn't just a three-point loss, it was a game that highlighted Liverpool's problems once again.

[red4slash]

I don't think when they lost to Brentford they didn't play well because what they excelled in this match was only possession, the rest we must be aware that in this match Brentford looked better even though in terms of the quality of their players they lost.

Liverpool played as usual in possession but in terms of build up attacks they were very bad with this formation and unfortunately Slot always imposes a 4-2-3-1 scheme which clearly hasn't gone well since the beginning and some data when they use this scheme with the same composition they always lose for this season.

I personally also feel that for now Slot does not only have to use Salah as an option, indeed he is a very good player but in the last few matches it seems that Salah has shown his selfish side more often than his good performance which makes this of course Liverpool must anticipate. If it is not possible to force Salah then they can try a 4-3-3 scheme with a composition where Ekitike can be utilized as a winger or do not rule out the possibility that the rotation can be changed with Ekitike in the targetman and Isak in the winger to utilize the speed he has.

Tottenham Hotspur football team played very well in the last match as that team did 3 goals in the last match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match and match was ended with result of 3-0 as van de Ven was a person who did 2 goals in this match when it was requirement of the team. He did his first goal at 19 minutes of the match when it was requirement of the team And after that we saw another goal by that player because he was very confident player and he did this goal at 51 minutes of the match. Everton football team performance was very poor in this match as they could not do any goal in this match and that team required goals to win this match.

Liverpool hasn't been doing well at all, but that's normal because it's not often that you get what you want. The situation with Manchester United, on the other hand, is just different because you don't even understand what they're doing. I won't lie, I didn't think they would win this game, but they did, and their lack of consistency has caused everyone to lose faith in them because, even after switching coaches, they still haven't achieved the desired outcome, and winning Brighton isn't enough in my opinion. Because they have wasted enough season at there fans need something different instead of disappointing them always.

And am just surprised that Brentford won against Liverpool and with all this signs shows that Liverpool will not be able to win, because 3:2 am just surprised, because Liverpool have all the leverage to have been able to win the game. But since they lost by one goal, and Salah is not in form this season because we know what his capable of doing is actually better than this.
