Richarlison and Zubimendi shake up Spurs and Arsenal, while Potter must get ugly

Richarlison and Martín Zubimendi are shaking things up at Spurs and Arsenal.

Amorim has shown bite against continental sides and the big English clubs.

However his record against mid table teams is a worry.

Last season after November he oversaw 14 league games against mid pack clubs.

United won two, drew two and lost ten in that run.

They earned eight points from forty two.

A 1-0 win at Craven Cottage came with a touch of luck.

A moment on Calvin Bassey went unpunished and United grabbed the lead.

This time they blew it.

United had been better for about 20 minutes while Fulham dominated the rest.

Thus Potter must get ugly and push a ruthless tempo.

Amorim tells United to grow up and Fernandes argues about a missed penalty.

Brentford beat Villa 1-0 and the weekend kept the league buzzing.

In this league you win with commitment, tempo and a little edge no matter the vibes.

Meanwhile Millwall respect the grind, Brighton chase noise, and anyone who calls Palace vibes will hear a real jab.

Potter must get ugly and turn the pressure into a weapon.

Amorim is tested by mid table teams, and the clock keeps ticking on United’s rhythm.

The tempo is the game now, not the pretty line breaks and fancy touches.

So the message is simple: keep the intensity high, stay disciplined, and strike when the tempo shifts.

TLDR

  • Richarlison and Zubimendi push Spurs and Arsenal into a new rhythm.
  • Amorim excels against top sides but struggles vs mid-table teams; Potter must embrace ugliness.
  • Tempo, grit and attitude win games over slick play any day.
