Last night's match between Brentford vs Fulham ended with a score of 3-2 for Brentford's victory at home. Actually I'm not sure if Brentford can win, considering that Fulham's performance this season is quite good and also very troublesome for big teams. But Fulham, who should have won from a team whose position was still below them, actually lost. Statistically Fulham really dominated the game but because their defense was very fragile it made it easier for Brentford to score goals against Fulham. With an additional 3 points, Brentford's position is very safe in the standings and continues to stay away from Chelsea's pursuit.
The 9 minutes of added time given by the referee was a very long time, because Brentford played well without getting a card. Statistically for the match, Fulham had more possession of the ball than Brentford, but on the other hand Brentford was superior. The Premier League is difficult to predict, the position of the standings cannot determine the strength or weakness of a club.
Brentford can put up a fight even though they are under more pressure. The early goal from Ethan Pinnock was a shock because I didn't expect them to score so quickly. Fulham could equalize and make the first half end in a draw. But again, in the second half, Brenford was able to score 2 goals again and Fulham couldn't equalize.
In terms of play, Fulham did dominate more, but Brentford created more opportunities. I think the situation between them is quite even and Brentford deserved this win.
Man Utd players should put behind there humiliating defeat against Liverpool and should focus on their next match against Real Betis on Thursday, a convincing win over there rival on Thursday will put smile back to their teeming fans, Erik Ten Hag should motivate his players to return to their winning ways of course Man Utd has been name as a potential Europa league winner this season thus needed to justify those speculations, though it's isn't easy playing in all competitions, however Man Utd is a big club with enough depth I expect Erik Ten Hag to rotate his main squad to reduce fatigue.
If I was the coach of Manchester United, I will focus more on winning other competitions that I am sure that I still have a very good shot at and then for the premier league, I ill just focus on finishing top four for this season that the race looks more between Manchester City and Arsenal. If you try to win all, you can lose all, and Erik Ten Hag has to know that. Manchester United will have a problem if Rashford and a number of other key players in their team become fatigued to overplaying.
I think Erik Ten Hag also did that, but is targeting a top 4 finish easy? I don't think so, because it won't reduce their competition with other teams who also want that place. The European League will be their next target, because their chances there are also quite large.
Yes, the defeat to Liverpool yesterday was indeed very embarrassing, but they must quickly forget about it and return to focusing on the other matches they will have.
