Now that Manchester United is out of the Champions League and will focus on the English Premier League, they certainly should have aimed for the best possible result in the Cup as well. Losing to a fourth-division team right at the start is a huge blow to Amorim’s reputation. It shows that the team is currently not competitive, this is a weak opponent they should have beaten comfortably, yet they barely managed a draw, and then lost in a long penalty shootout. I don’t even know what to say, it seems the team’s spirit is very low right now, and it looks like Amorim is unable to fix it.

This is not even a new thing because Manchester United does not even have stability they have been very unsecured of there own positions and even the premier league they won't do anything good so there is no assurance that they will do something tangle even in the premier league. They don't have any reputation to protect over there and how Manchester United turned like this is just funny because I expected them to do more. And that club just have a lot of complication because them playing. And Manchester United having 8 shots on target and scored only two out of 8 so there is nothing much to even expect but they played well even if the game ended draw but since everything is just starting new we should not expect anything much from them. This season but look at Chelsea. Amorim would find it very hard to fix. Because that's the club is already looking like something that's going to very hard to fix.

Liverpool vs Arsenal

Many are looking forward to this big match, and Liverpool should have a better chance of winning. Arsenal are currently dealing with injuries to several key players such as Saka, Odegaard, and Kai Havertz. It looks like these players will be absent in the upcoming match, which gives Liverpool, as the home team, a good opportunity to win.

What do you think? Is Arsenal still confident enough to hold Liverpool to a draw or even try to beat them?"

I am not seeing this match as a defeat for Arsenal despite the fact that some of their key players are injured, because Arsenal have squad depth to complete for the title this season, so if they lose to Liverpool because of injuries to Saka and Odegard, it means they haven’t changed and they will never win the league like that.

However, with the players Arsenal have signed so far, I am having confidence in Arsenal squad that they can do better this season and I think Liverpool is also not strong enough to defeat Arsenal because their defense is not too strong and Arsenal defense is stronger than many defensive lines in the Premier League. Therefore, Arsenal can get at least one point out of the game.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I believe y'all thought, just like I did that this season will be better for United, but look what's already happening in the first few games of the premier League and other competitions like the EFL. Were

Imagine what happened gainst Fulham; united weren't able to break through their defensive line. I don't see Amorim as the perfect manager for the team this season because with the new recruitment, the club still finds it difficult to win matches and score goals, which is not supposed to be so.

They don't have any reputation to protect over there and how Manchester United turned like this is just funny because I expected them to do more. And that club just have a lot of complication because them playing.

Rebuilding the team would take nothing from an experienced coach, and I can bet my last dime on it. Amorim is not suitable to be considered a football coach -- I don't even think he has any business on the pitch!

It’s funny you had to bring Kai Havertz in this, yeah his got some credibility in Arsenal but excuse me, I don’t find home to be a very inportant piece to the team. Saka is and would be missed in that game for sure. Still, I don’t think it’s a game where Liverpool would have it easy, not easy in fact, the best result that could come off this fixture is a draw. Liverpool doesn’t really look like the winning team but, it would be a lot of advantage for them in the league if they could manage it, win their first big match this reason.

[len01]

It’s funny you had to bring Kai Havertz in this, yeah his got some credibility in Arsenal but excuse me, I don’t find home to be a very inportant piece to the team.

At first, I thought that if Kai Havertz wasn’t injured, he could be a substitute in case something bad happened. Because I’m sure all Arsenal players would work harder and use up more energy. So if Kai Havertz wasn’t injured, he could replace Gyokeres in the second half to keep the main players’ fitness preserved. But it seems like Gyokeres had to play the full match in that game.

Saka is and would be missed in that game for sure. Still, I don’t think it’s a game where Liverpool would have it easy, not easy in fact, the best result that could come off this fixture is a draw.

It makes sense that the match could end in a draw even without Saka. From the rumors I’ve seen, Madueke is likely to replace Saka’s position, and I think Madueke is quite good and reliable. After that, Martinelli will be in the LW position. With that, the Arsenal squad is still strong enough to put up a fight against Liverpool.

Since the start of this season, Manchester United's highest achievement has been a draw against Fulham. In the Premier League, Manchester United finished 16th. And in the EFL Cup, they even lost to a small club, Grimsby Town F.C., a top-four finisher in Football League 2.

This is truly embarrassing.

They even drew in the EFL Cup, but ultimately lost on penalties. And it was a 12-11 goals. This is truly, truly bizarre.

Now that Manchester United is out of the Champions League and will focus on the English Premier League, they certainly should have aimed for the best possible result in the Cup as well. Losing to a fourth-division team right at the start is a huge blow to Amorim’s reputation. It shows that the team is currently not competitive, this is a weak opponent they should have beaten comfortably, yet they barely managed a draw, and then lost in a long penalty shootout. I don’t even know what to say, it seems the team’s spirit is very low right now, and it looks like Amorim is unable to fix it.

Manchester United were out of the Champions League competition last season but still they could not finish the season at a good level in the points table as expected by the fans. The fans have been enduring such poor performances of Manchester United for several seasons, but still Manchester United fans accept these things and expect that their team will perform well at some point.

Last season, Manchester United had a chance to win the European League title but they were defeated by Tottenham in the final match. It was a really difficult result for Manchester United. The current situation of the Manchester United team does not seem to suggest that Manchester United will be able to stay in a good position in the English Premier League this season.

Manchester United has already played a total of three matches in the Premier League where they have not been able to win any match so far, meaning that they have already moved a lot towards themselves in the points table at the beginning.

Liverpool ought to be favorites, but I would not dismiss Arsenal as "done" just because Saka/Odegaard/Havertz are out. Liverpool have scored 7 goals with an expected goal value of 2.9. That does not last forever. If you were to cool that streak, Liverpool's profile is a team that concedes 2 goals per game and generates approximately 1.45 xG/game. This seems fragile to me. Arsenal, despite their loss, retain Martinelli, a £60m player capable of playing through pressure, and Gyokeres, who literally scored a brace on 1.3 xG last time out. That is transitional weaponry that will be very much at home in Anfield, where Liverpool's improvised right-back (Szoboszlai/Bradley, Frimpong out) will be put to the test. Arsenal is not in control of the game as they are with Odegaard/Saka. However, ironically, they are pushed into a pattern (a compact 4-4-2 and fast verticals) that directly strikes Slot in the weak areas (the transition coverage lag in that new double pivot)

I do not see a draw as ridiculous. I actually think Arsenal's best chance in years at Anfield is exactly in this "injury crisis" moment

[Roseline492]

Adding to another possible reason of seeing Arsenal the way he saw them is because there is a competition, some players who wants to wass strong puts a club they have to prove there performance a lot as a reason why they choose them, Eze is someone with a record that needs vibrant stars to unravel things about himself. His presence on Arsenal will future attracts more consideration than some other players on his position, I think currently Martin Odegaard and Ethan Nwaneri are some of the good Arsenal midfielders but Eberechi is another good and positive figure of that midfield even if is not now but definitely later.

I don't think it has anything to do with competition. Arsenal is simply a bigger club than Tottenham. Arsenal also have a better project than Tottenham. At Arsenal, he can play as a left winger and as an Attacking midfielder. He made the right decision choosing Arsenal.
Eze is a good player, and I wonder how Crystal Palace were able to keep him for that long. From the moment I watched him and Olise, I knew they would leave Crystal Palace for bigger teams. I'm really happy for him.

The competition was not in comparison between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur because Arsenal is always a team that has good table number than Tottenham Hotspur and it was just last season Tottenham Hotspur won the trophy that masterminded all this performance so actually players competition was the point of my observation he choose them, a player can reject being signed by Manchester United but not in Arsenal in most cases because they will not struggle for there main other qualification. I'm sure the outmost sphere crystal Palace gave him was why he was longer with them but now Arsenal is his home and was welcome as a player they were more than to have.

[DiMarxist]

there are some Rumours in football i do not give attention, i will just view the headlines and pass. Liverpool bidding for Mbappe is not out of place, because every clubs need him in their team. but the possibility for mbappe to leave psg to Liverpool that is not playing champions league is very slim. Mbbappe can only leave Psg to Manchester united and Real madrid and not to any club that's not in champions league.

Arsenal are also interested in Mbappe, since Mbappe has not sign a new contract for Psg, every clubs are observing the situation kindly. one thing issure, mbappe will not be playing in psg next season if he do not extend his contract. by next year he will be free agent and they will lose more. Pgs has to be rational about the situation.

Like avoiding such rumours  Because despite Mbappe being offered so much money, he is only thinking of leaving PSG with the hope of winning the Champions League trophy and the Ballon d'Or, why would he sign for that money with a team like Liverpool who have not already qualified for the Champions League? The biggest and most likely of all the rumors is Mbappé's move to Real Madrid. If Mbappe does decide to switch clubs, he is most likely to join Real Madrid. And this possibility may be true. Also I don't think Mbappe can join Liverpool.

You're absolutely right. Mbappé has made it clear that his priority is winning the Champions League and the Ballon d'Or, and Real Madrid offers the best platform for both. A move to Liverpool, especially without UCL football, seems very unlikely regardless of the money involved. Madrid feels like the most realistic destination if he leaves PSG.

What a fucking joke is Totenham as a team, poor fans and poor team itself, i mean they cant win anything important in years, they lose a ton of games against his rival and now they also fail in even buy players, what a failure of a team. They need to reborn in someway.

Is this "new" spurs team without Son and Kane a new one? Or is still the same with other names?

I won’t blame Tottenham entirely for the outcome with Eberechi Eze and other transfer targets who dished Tottenham to be somewhere else. Despite them winning the Europa league they still cannot be compared with prestigious clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Liverpool and Manchester United they can only compare with the likes of Newcastle United, e.t.c. and so you won’t expect a top player who finds himself in a situation to pick between Tottenham and any of the mentioned clubs to pick Tottenham except that United are in a shitty position at the moment but they still hold more prestige even in this situation.

So embarrassing, getting eliminated by such team is one thing I still don't understand what could really be the problem in the Manchester United club this is actually getting out of hands, I think this problem is beyond Onana and I use to think it's because of the players now they've got some good players but the problem continues or should we say it's the coach? One can't really tell, the fact is Manchester United is gradually becoming an average team because as it stands now they are no threat to any team both big and small they just gats do something.

[Oluwa-btc]

I cant believe how the Manchester United team always make good games against the big six even them being a shit but make the worst game posible against the weakest teams, i mean for example you can took the game against Arsenal for the first round, they play quite well against one title contender and deserve at least a draw, but after that they draw against Fulham and now they lsoe against a team for third division incredible.

The selections for the both games aren't the same. I still blame the manager for the draw and lose because why bench your players when you're playing just the Premier League Competition alone,why?! Players like Andre Onana and Amad Diallo killed that game but these players had no excuse,  they should have won that game but they lacked intensity penetrating forward into Grimsby defence. Burnley is a game to boost back lost confidence.

I put my faith on the Reds with awesome 2,23 odds...

you are right Arsenal's firepower is lacking.  They only have Gyökeres as a fit striker going into this match at Anfield because Saka is undoubtedly out, Odegaard is doubtful & Havertz had a knee operation.

However Arsenal is not completely out of the game because they still have midfield depth & new signing Eberechi Eze is ready for his debut.
Although Eze's inventiveness might add some spice, Liverpool is still the smart money given their home record and Arsenal's attacker casualties.

Good Luck...

[Luzin]

I'm quite curious about Amorim this season. After finishing poorly last year, Amorim has not started the league well today. It seems like Amorim isn't able to manage the players well. He even said that the match results and losses were intentional to make Amorim leave. So will he leave sooner? I think Amorim is under a lot of pressure right now. The improvements made by Amorim at great expense haven't shown any increase in strength in each league match.

Liverpool football team is favorite for that match and we are watching that team for the years to play well and you are watching the point s table because both teams have equal points but performance of Liverpool football team is good as comparison to Arsenal football team and they won more matches in head to head performance and Alway Played against big teams. Both teams played 2 matches of the tournament and both teams won 2 matches and that shows both are good teams but audience like that match in which one is winner and one will be loser .Failure always give lesson to the failed person and Liverpool football team will try to give experience to opponent team. We will see good competition between these two teams and audience are ready to watch this match.

This doesnt come from now, they were mading this from years right now, when they face a big team they play good but when is a low tier team they play like the shit they are.

So i can see a lack of enthusiasm in the players, yes it sounds crazy but i cant find any other clue about why this happening.

[SatoPrincess]

So complicated offer from Tottenham Hotspur for signing Eze until reach agreement deal with Arsenal, have longer time Eze rumor will move to Tottenham Hotspur but finally serious offering from Arsenal easily both side reach agreement deal.

It makes sense why Eze prefers Arsenal, which is a team that is ready to go further. Meanwhile even though Spurs have won the Europa League trophy, it does not mean that Eze is interested because Arsenal offers more opportunities for next season. However at Arsenal, he will have to work harder to become part of the main squad.

It absolutely makes much sense that Eberechi Eze picked Arsenal over Spurs because no player in the right senses will pick Spurs over Arsenal. Like I said in earlier post Spurs might have won an European trophy but still doesn’t offer better opportunities than Arsenal.

[AirtelBuzz]

To be frankly speaking, the match will definitely be a very strong match for Arsenal if it happens that those players are absent for long. You can't really talk of Arsenal attackers without mentioning saka and odegaard , they have a major role to play in the attack so without there presents there is going to be loopholes in arsenal attack, there attacking force will definitely reduce. Liverpool is a team that doesn't joke when they are Playing in arnfield, especially with the kind of performance they have been shown lately.
However, arsenal defense is very strong the possibility of draw can't be undermine.

It is literally impossible to talk about Arsenal Football Club's attack without mentioning Bukayo Saka and Odegaard because we all know that they are the best attackers for Arsenal but currently Victor Gyokeres has been linked with them. My idea the new season's Premier League clash between Liverpool and Arsenal will be a traditional fixture and many bettors may consider it El Clasico. In this new season, everyone may have noticed that Liverpool won against Bournemouth and Newcastle but had to concede two goals each but Florian Wirtz will be a significant influencer against this Arsenal.
The managers of the two teams participating in this match have invested heavily in the summer, even it can  be said that Arne Slott pl brought in two record-breaking players,they will definitely stand as a barrier against the Gunners yesterday.

This is a traditional English game because arsenal Liverpool game is always a big game in the English premier League calendar the good thing about this game is that it always produces plenty goals so let see how this game will turn out this season on Sunday because I see a winner in  this game, let see which attack will be better between the two teams

The improvements made by Amorim at great expense haven't shown any increase in strength in each league match.

The loss to Arsenal was understandable, considering Arsenal's squad depth was far superior in my opinion. However, being held to a draw by Fulham was a poor performance for Manchester United. I'm not underestimating Fulham's strength in that match, but Manchester United's play and attacking style were simply poor and ineffective.

Firing Amorim wouldn't be a bad idea if Manchester United's management could find a more competent replacement, but the problem with the team's performance isn't just the lack of a suitable coach, but also the depth of the squad. Manchester United need a major change and they really need to make it, otherwise this team will be as bad as it has been lately.
