Highlights from Fulham v Manchester United in the Premier League
Ruben Amorim emphasized the importance of the results at Fulham and his hope that Fulham and his hope will become the momentum to collect three points on the road.
They certainly looked like they needed one for most of this match. United’s caution was evident as they defended in numbers and looked for the safe option of possession. It was notable that Fulham were listed as favourites , and the visitors played up to their underdog tag.
This result will not mask that Amorim has to solve. He himself mentioned the lack of throwing in the final third, and the question mark marks both Rasmus Hojlund and his replacement, Alejandro Garnacho, which they could sell well before the deadline. probably looked the bigger spark in an otherwise useless attack.Fulham despite a poor attacking order of cloth, notes themselves, almost revealed that remarkable well-documented weakness.
Still with a Europa League trip to Bucharest on Thursday, followed by home games against Crystal Palace and then the Leicester Fan Cup, there is perhaps a chance to build some positive momentum to improve their short-term outlook. The bigger picture remains in the works.

Highlights from Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City in the Premier League
Ange Postecoglou is known for his attack, attack, attack style. You score two, we’ll score three, mate.
Gone is why he has reached the top of football’s management table. But there are signs that his football is quite easy to stop. Even Leicester, who have averaged 2.5 goals in their last nine games 2.5 assists, managed to limit the Spirits to crumbs in terms of their 2-1 victory.
Yes, fatigue is a big problem for the post-election and his injury-hit team, but to make championship football again next season is a big problem against a team fighting for championship football under the big Aussie.
When the clock ticks, chasing an equalizer, there was no momentum of any kind in their favor. That figure could not have found an equalizer. Their attacks were predictable and lacked the quality of their last 13 games meanwhile, Spurs are averaging 1.3 expected goals and struggling to break down the likes of Wolves, Ipswich and now Leicester.
Aren’t you having fun? No, I wasn’t today.

West Ham showing improvement under Potter

Highlights from Aston Villa v West Ham in the Premier League
Four games in and the West Ham are starting to show signs of drying up under Graham Potter.After a torrid performance against Crystal Palace last weekend, something was needed to get things going in the right direction.
And Hammers fans might have feared the worst in the opening 10 minutes of the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, but for once their side found their footing.
They were perhaps helped by Villa’s disarray when Tyrone Mings was substituted, but taking advantage of those situations was not accepted.
Max Kilman has to be credited for keeping the West Ham in the game when they were under pressure, and Lucas Defense for the Hammers’ comeback.
West Ham’s numbers have steadily increased since Potter came in. Their performance, particularly in the second half, is more like what Potter does and what the Hammers want to see.
It’s a case of consistency now. Can the draw turn into a win. Hopefully these questions will be answered in the coming weeks.

Highlights of the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Branford
Brentford is a football club constantly looking for marginal gains and with a 2-1 win at the Crystal Palace we saw another.
Walking Brian Mebubo for his late penalty save, both Yoane Wisa and Kane Lewis-Potter were marked as the Brentford talisman strolled with the ball.
“It’s like a distraction, maybe taking the goalie out,” Jammy Redknapp said. “I’ve never seen that in my life, it’s crazy.”
Asked if it was a tactic or just confidence, Thomas Frank added:

So it’s no surprise that Brentford have a penalty take rate of 95 per cent in the Premier League, the joint best ratio in the competition’s history.
Alongside the consistent first-minute authority they have delighted fans with this season, it’s another question to add to the long list of crude tactics the Bees wing.

The debut of Esse’s dream palace

Just 30 seconds after the break, Romain Esre scored his debut goal with his first touch.
For two seasons, Romain Esse tore through the league as one of Millwall’s most promising players and, by the time he left the club on January 18, he had played 66 times for the Lions. He doesn’t turn 20 until May.
So it was no surprise when he snapped up the Crystal Palace for a fee that could rise to £14.5 million.
ESSE was immediately integrated into the Eagles’ first-team squad and made his debut against Brentford, alongside Oliver Glassner, in a 2-0 win.
He became the first teenager to score on his Premier League debut (19 years, 258 days) since Ryan Ait-Nouri (19 years 146D) for Wolves.
It didn’t hold the feedback chamber, but it immediately appealed to the Esse Selhurst Park faithful and as a new player, you can’t ask for much more than that.
And long
