CARRAGHER DEFENDS PRAISE FOR PALMER



LONDON: Jamie Carragher has hit out at Liverpool fans on social media who
criticised him for praising Chelsea’s Cole Palmer.

The centre-back played exclusively for Liverpool throughout his 17-year career,
scoring five goals in 739 appearances for the club.

He often captained Liverpool in the absence of Steven Gerrard and lifted the
European Champions League trophy in 2005, as well as two FA Cups and three
League Cups.

Carragher is a well-known sports pundit on Sky Sports and was on duty during
Chelsea’s 4-3 win at Spurs last Sunday.

But the 46-year-old was criticised by his former club’s fans when he said Palmer
was the best player in the Premier League over the past 18 months, with many
criticising his statement for forgetting to mention Reds star Mohamed Salah.



However, Carragher responded to the criticism on social media by asking those
who disagreed with him to watch the full recording of his statement.

“He took the penalty and was involved in (Enzo) Fernandez’s goal, three or four
players around him. That’s what great players do – you’re terrified when he gets
the ball.

“I liked him last season and he’s started well this season. A few weeks ago I
said, if you look at the last 18 months at Chelsea, I don’t think there’s a
player in the Premier League who has performed better than him.

“And he’s not playing for the best team. They look like one of the best teams in
the league right now.

“Before Chelsea had great players in attack like (Giafranco) Zola and (Eden)
Hazard, I think he has done more than Zola in these 18 months.

“If he manages to lead Chelsea to the title this season or in the next two or
three seasons, I believe he will be the club’s greatest player.

“He’s a very special player and not just in the Premier League, but Europe and
the world,” said Carragher.


UNITED LOST FOR THE SECOND TIME IN A ROW UNDER AMORIM



MANCHESTER, England: Nottingham Forest inflicted Manchester United’s second
consecutive defeat in the English Premier League early this morning, defeating
Ruben Amorim’s men 3-2 at Old Trafford.

United striker Rasmus Hojlund cancelled out Nikola Milenkovic’s early goal but
Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood put the visitors ahead and they held on to
that advantage after Bruno Fernandes closed the gap.

Forest’s first win at Old Trafford since 1994 lifted them to fifth in the league
table but United are stranded in 13th.

Amorim has made a positive start to his career as United manager after replacing
Erik ten Hag, who was sacked last month, drawing once and winning two of his
first three matches.

But he warned “a storm is coming” for the troubled club, who are enduring their
worst start to the season.

Reality is now starting to set in after a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal in midweek
followed by a defeat early this morning at home.

“It was a difficult game in a difficult moment but we have to keep going,” a
disappointed Amorim told the BBC.



“It’s been a long journey. We’ve improved in a number of ways. We need to win
games to help us improve as a team.

“We are at the beginning of something big because we are focusing on every
detail. We already know it is a big task so we have to keep going.”

The former Sporting Lisbon boss must have been disappointed with the way the
goal was conceded.

Corners proved difficult for Arsenal to stop and Milenkovic headed in Elliot
Anderson’s corner in the second minute after soaring high past Lisandro
Martinez.

United came back and equalised in the 18th minute with Hojlund heading in after
Alejandro Garnacho’s attempt from Manuel Ugarte’s pass was blocked by Forest
goalkeeper Matz Sels.

But Forest once again started brilliantly in the second half.

Fernandes lost the ball to Callum Hudson-Odoi and he found Gibbs-White, whose
flicked shot from 20 yards out went past goalkeeper Andre Onana.

New Zealand international Wood met Gibbs-White’s cross in the 54th minute with a
header that went over the line as Matthijs de Ligt, Onana and Martinez all
failed to save the situation.

United hit back after the hour mark when Amad Diallo showed great skill as he
raced down the right wing before feeding Fernandes, who beat Sels from the edge
of the box.


GUARDIOLA HITS BACK AT LIVERPOOL FANS’ TAUNTS



LIVERPOOL: Pep Guardiola calmly responded to the boos of Liverpool fans during
Manchester City’s defeat at Anfield.

Arne Slot’s side beat the defending Premier League champions 2-0 and extended
the gap on City, who slipped to fifth, to 11 points – thanks to goals from Cody
Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool fans taunted Guardiola by chanting “you’ll be sacked in the morning”
towards the end of the game.

The City manager, however, simply responded with a six-finger gesture – the
number of Premier League trophies he has won over the past seven seasons.

Guardiola once again showed the same gesture when applauding the City supporters
after the match.

The defeat at Anfield continued City’s poor record which has now lost six of
their last seven games.



“We didn’t have pre-season and then injuries, but we are aware of that and we
have to deal with it. We competed but didn’t create many chances.

“We don’t have the strength in midfield at the moment and they are stronger in
the ball, so need to work harder when we get the ball.

“I sit here as a manager and defend what we have done before, the result of
their efforts. I want to continue with them and embrace them.

“We have to change this result and when the time is right we will. The whole
stadium wants me to be sacked, it started in Brighton! Maybe they were right
based on the previous results. I didn’t expect it at Anfield.

“They didn’t do it when it was 1-0, but after 2-0. Maybe they should sing it in
the past.

“I didn’t expect it from Liverpool fans but that’s okay. It’s part of the game
and I understand it. We went through a lot of great fights together. I respect
them,” said Guardiola.


CHELSEA REMAIN TOP OF UEFA CONFERENCE LEAGUE



HEIDENHEIM, Germany: Chelsea cemented their position at the top of the UEFA
Conference League table after a 2-0 win over Heidenheim, who lost their 100
percent record earlier this morning.

Manager Enzo Maresca made 10 changes to the squad that defeated Leicester in the
English Premier League (EPL) last weekend.

But the Blues dominated the first half, with Heidenheim goalkeeper Kevin Mueller
letting them down with some impressive saves.

Chelsea needed six minutes after the break to break the deadlock when
Christopher Nkunku made a brilliant touch to control Jadon Sancho’s cross before
firing into the top corner.



Nkunku, second only to Nicolas Jackson in Maresca’s EPL list of strikers, has
scored five goals in four Conference League games this season.

The German club rallied from behind and almost equalized in the 69th minute when
Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen brilliantly denied attempts from Paul Wanner
and Leo Scienza.

The two-time European champions sealed victory four minutes from time when
Sancho assisted for his second goal, sending the ball to Mykhailo Mudryk who
fired home after playing a one-two with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

After winning their first four games, Chelsea lead the Conference League with a
maximum of 12 points and goal difference ahead of Polish club Legia Warsaw.


ALL EYES ON AMORIM’S FIRST TEAM



LONDON: All eyes will be on Ruben Amorim’s first team as head coach of
Manchester United this Sunday.

A visit to Ipswich Town awaits and the 39-year-old’s starting line-up at Portman
Road is highly anticipated, especially with one change in formation expected.

At his previous club Sporting CP, Amorim often used a formation of three
defenders, either a 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 system.

While both are somewhat foreign to the squad he inherited, his first team
selection is expected to be interesting.

If Amorim wants to expose the weaknesses of the opposition, his team will
definitely need a strong player who will press Ipswich fiercely.

Aggressively closing down space is key to Amorim’s tactical approach, but Kieran
McKenna’s men are already showing fragility when pressed in their own half.

Manchester City, Southampton, Aston Villa and West Ham United all scored against
the newly promoted side after winning the ball back in the attack.

Forcing the Ipswich players to make mistakes when playing from the back must
have been at the heart of Amorim’s game planning.



Who is good at pressing for United?

Mason Mount has struggled for game minutes under Erik ten Hag, but the
midfielder has been working hard all week on the training ground with Amorim,
while many of his team-mates are in action with their respective national teams.

This gives him the chance to be in action at Portman Road this Sunday.

Mount’s style of play certainly suits the new head coach, who likes his players
to work hard even when not in possession.

Mount, who can operate in midfield or as one of two No 10s, exerts more pressure
in the opposition area than any other player at United.

When looking at the amount of pressure applied throughout the 90 minutes by
United’s players, Mount is at the top of the ladder leaving his nearest
challengers far behind.

He averaged 45.6 pressures with Joshua Zirkzee second at 38.3.

Mount’s efforts, coupled with proven technical ability, will impress Amorim.

The 25-year-old will definitely want a fresh start, so it wouldn’t be surprising
if he plays and shines over the next few weeks.

Which strikers will feature in Amorim’s starting line-up?

Ipswich’s midfield and defense are not among the fastest in the division and as
a result they were exploited on many occasions by the pacey opposition.

Mohamed Salah sneaked in effectively as Liverpool won at Portman Road in the
opening week of the league, while Erling Haaland, Jarrod Bowen, Vitaly Janelt
and Jordan Ayew also contributed to exposing Ipswich’s weaknesses with quick
runs that opened up the defence.

For this match, United will try to play in the three-quarters of the field,
before looking for opportunities to break through the home defense with a quick
attack.

United’s fastest players were Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund, with Marcus
Rashford in third.

Amorim likes to attack quickly, so this trio is definitely in his consideration.

The new head coach will certainly want Bruno Fernandes (4.4 runs into the
penalty area per 90 minutes) and Rashford (3.3 per 90 minutes) to enter the
opposition penalty box more often than they have done so far this season.

This Sunday, look for Garnacho and Amad Diallo to offer a threat to break
through the defense alongside forward Hojlund.

Given Amorim’s record of trusting and shaping young players, it would not be
surprising if Garnacho and Diallo were named in his first XI.

Both have scored impressive individual goals under caretaker manager Ruud van
Nistelrooy, which their new boss will surely be aware of.

Does Fernandes have a new role?

In Ten Hag’s 4-2-3-1 formation, Fernandes was used as a No 10, but he will
definitely have to adapt to the new position.

The captain’s role is most likely as an ‘inverted wide’ striker. Ensuring both
full-backs operate effectively alongside him, it may not be a big difference for
him.

But you shouldn’t rule out the possibility of Amorim experimenting with
Fernandes as an orthodox midfielder.


RONALDO HOPES AMORIM WILL BRING LIGHT TO MAN UNITED



LONDON: Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo wished Ruben Amorim the
best of luck who is now settling in as a new manager at Old Trafford.

Amorim, who was appointed to replace Erik ten Hag on November 1, arrived in
England last Monday, less than 24 hours after coaching Sporting Lisbon for the
last time.

Amorim, 39, who is awaiting work permit approval, was greeted by United
officials upon his arrival at Carrington.

He was also given the opportunity to visit Old Trafford and hold his first
interview as United head coach.

Amorim is expected to take charge of his first game when United travel to
Portman Road against Ipswich Town in the Premier League next week.



He takes over a team currently 13th in the league, with a tough task to ensure
they finish in the top four this season.

For Ronaldo, the Portuguese legend who was born just a week after Amorim, the
club needed a bit of ‘luck’ after the failure of several previous managers.

“I wish Ruben Amorim luck in the world because Manchester (United) really needs
him,” said Ronaldo.

Ronaldo made the comments after helping Portugal to a convincing 5-1 win over
Poland in the UEFA Nations League, where he contributed two second-half goals.


DE LIGT STILL UPSET TEN HAG WAS FIRED



AMSTERDAM: Manchester United centre-back Matthijs de Ligt was aggrieved by the
sacking of club manager Erik ten Hag last month and was angry at the penalty
decision which cost his compatriot his job.

A lengthy VAR review showed De Ligt tripping the leg of West Ham’s Danny Ings, a
decision which left Ten Hag shaking his head and awarding the London club a
penalty to claim a last-minute 2-1 victory.

Ten Hag was then sacked the following day.

“Normally, I often criticize myself and can get angry about things I didn’t do
well. But this is not my fault, I can’t blame myself for it,” De Ligt told
reporters yesterday ahead of the Nations League action with the national team
Netherlands.

“The refereeing committee also called us to tell us it was not a penalty,” he
said.



Howard Webb, the Premier League’s chief refereeing officer, admitted yesterday
that West Ham were mistakenly awarded the penalty.

“He (Ten Hag) wasn’t very lucky. We played well in many games, but we didn’t
take advantage of the opportunities we had. It’s a shame it had to end like
that,” explained De Ligt.

The 25-year-old moved from Bayern Munich last August, having previously played
under Ten Hag at Ajax.

“He brought me to Manchester, his aim was to achieve success with Erik.”

De Ligt has yet to meet new manager Ruben Amorim, who started his job on Monday
after being signed from Portuguese champions Sporting Lisbon.

“He did well at Sporting. Hopefully, he can help us improve. Amorim is not my
first coach and he will not be my last coach. I don’t want to move to Manchester
United just because of Ten Hag.”


SLOT NOT SURPRISED BY LIVERPOOL’S GOOD PERFORMANCES



London: Liverpool manager Arne Slot admitted he was not surprised by his team’s
excellent start to the season, as he was already aware of the strength of the
team he inherited when he arrived at Anfield as Juergen Klopp’s replacement.

Slott’s side, who have won 14 out of 16 games in all competitions since he took
over, are expected to remain at the top of the Premier League when they host
Aston Villa in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Liverpool now have a two-point lead over defending champions Manchester City.

They are also top of the Champions League group as the only team to win four
games from all meetings.

“I think ‘surprised’ is not the right word because I know the quality of our
team.

“But quality is one thing and consistency is another. I’m not surprised because
I see the energy my players give every day.

“Sometimes, a bit of luck helps. Most of our results were deserved but there
were a few close matches,” he added.

“(Also) when I started working with them, I saw how hard they worked to achieve
this result,” Slot told reporters.



Slot does not expect striker Diogo Jota, who has been sidelined since
Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Chelsea on October 20 due to injury, to return until
after the international break.

Slot did not elaborate on Jota’s injury and stated that it had to keep the cause
a secret.

“He will be back one or two games after the international break,” he said.

Curtis Jones, named in interim England manager Lee Carsley’s squad for the
upcoming internationals, has been in excellent form in recent weeks.

Jones created a beautiful pass for Luis Diaz to score in Liverpool’s 4-0
Champions League win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Slot said Jones has stepped her game up a notch since the birth of her daughter,
Giselle, on Oct. 13.

“Since becoming a father, he’s started to perform really well,” Slot said.


CHELSEA IS THE REAL TEST FOR NISTELROOY



LONDON: Manchester United pressed the ‘reset’ button again after the dismissal
of Erik ten Hag, with the team now under Ruud van Nistelrooy hosting Chelsea in
the English Premier League this Monday.

Ten Hag was sacked after the team’s fourth defeat in nine league games saw
United now 14th in the table – 12 points behind leaders Manchester City.

Nistelrooy was appointed as interim manager until Ruben Amorim left the
Portuguese club, Sporting, who is reported to be taking over at United after the
international break this November.

Nistelrooy, who has scored 150 goals with United, took over the task in a
positive way when he scored a 5-2 victory over Leicester City in the League Cup
last Wednesday, but Chelsea are clearly not an opponent to be underestimated.

Under the management of the new manager Enzo Maresca, the young squad seems to
shine for Stamford Bridge to be back in the Champions League scene.



Chelsea are currently fifth in the league with Cole Palmer the mainstay of the
team after scoring seven goals and providing five assists this season.

They are also looking to improve their poor record against United – who have
only lost to Chelsea once in their last 13 Premier League games.

It became the basis for Maresca to research and do ‘homework’ to analyze
Nistelrooy’s management when he was in charge of PSV Eindhoven before.

“I think Ruud (who steers United). He is my friend, we play together, we were
together for a year at Malaga and we still have a relationship,” said Maresca.

“We started watching some PSV games. We’ve seen a lot of Manchester United
games. I’m sad for Erik and at the same time happy for Ruud. Hope I can see him
this Sunday.”


MAN UNITED SACKED TEN HAG



LONDON: Manchester United have sacked their manager, Erik ten Hag, following a
poor start to the season with the English Premier League giants languishing in
14th place after nine games.

The decision to sack the manager from the Netherlands comes after two and a half
years in charge of The Red Devils and yesterday’s 1-2 defeat to West Ham saw
them record just three wins.

“Erik ten Hag is leaving his role as first-team manager of Manchester United,”
the club said in a statement.

“Ruud van Nistelrooy will run the team as interim head coach, assisted by the
current coaching team, while a new permanent head coach will be appointed.”



The position of the 54-year-old Dutchman was the subject of speculation for much
of last season as United recorded their worst finish in the Premier League after
finishing eighth.

However, a surprise win in the FA Cup final over Manchester City and coupled
with the fact the squad was dealing with a host of injury problems gave the Ten
Hag a ‘lifeline’.

He signed a new contract to extend his stay until 2026 and gets the chance to
revive the 20-time English league champions.

The early results of the season however hint that Ten Hag will not achieve that.
