Did Liverpool show where they need to strengthen in the transfer window? Premier league hits and misses

Did Liverpool show where they need to strengthen?

The defeat of 3-1 in Chelsea will bother Liverpool a little while celebrating the well-deserved title. But if anyone questioned that Arne slot may have looked with a few injuries, then that performance was it.

There were probably some reasons associated with fun for the flat performance of Liverpool and a lower intensity than the usual, but Arne Slot wanted to use these last four games to help him plan the summer. The ones he brought to the team on Stamford Bridge failed to impress.

The whole midfielder was changed, and the trio Wataru Endo, Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott couldn’t handle their Chelsea colleagues, especially Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer who led the show.

Jones accumulated on the upgrade to Chelsea’s first, Elliott was withdrawn after Blues’ second – and Endo showed that in 32 years he would fight to repeat what Ryan Graveberch had worked brilliantly throughout the season.

At the upper end of the terrain, Diogo Jota was anonymous for only 13 touches – he has one goal of the 2025 league – while Darwin Nunez missed two good openings after he came. At least he managed another touch from Jot.

No one had a worse excursion than Jarel Quansah, with one goal and one penalty, he acknowledged a disappointing and unconvincing representation in the central half, the one that reminded his struggles in Ipswich.

And when Tsimikas Costas failed to facilitate Liverpool’s left trouble, it looks like four areas of Liverpool could strengthen this summer. The left back, central back, midfielder and striker-and do not forget the right back if the Trenest Alexander-Arnold goes as expected.

Why do they persist in the Premier League Man UTD?

Bilbao or Bust has been a mantra in Manchester United for some time. Looking at them falling to defeat 16. League in the season, because they lost 4-3 in Brentford, their up to 35 years, it made it profusely. But more behind their fights.

Ruben Amorim appointed the third lowest team in the history of the Premier League in Brentford. Considering the recent domestic form of United and eight changes made after the victory on Thursday over the Athletic Club, the defeat was almost inevitable, strange how it sounds.

Everything is, of course, focused on the Europa League. This does not answer the question of why United, the only undefeated side in the European competition, did not beat the team that will play top football from January 26 next season.

From this 1-0 victory in Fulham, he was sealed thanks to Lisandar Martinez’s strike, United played 10 teams outside the lower three and failed to win against any of them. They still had a circle from the Europa League League phase after that victory.

Meanwhile, in Europe, United prevailed by Real Sociedad and Lyon. Forbidding shock collapse, not something you would put on this group, you can add athletic club to that list. Then one game is from a European trophy. Puzzling.

The defeat in Brentford, although it is not the most fair game from which he pulled out the conclusions, served the perfect example of the problem that plague in the Premier League: United simply could not face Brentford’s physicality, pace and direct football.

No matter who he was chosen, as she showed us this season, the same vulnerability would remain.

Amorim inherited the composition poorly equipped to handle strict English football. They misconceptions of the department’s construction must be corrected this summer, especially if the Champions League qualifiers are provided, otherwise I will not see an improvement.

Can Isaac capture Salah in the Golden Boot race?

Alexander Isaac certainly felt like his moment would never come to Newcastle’s drawing 1-1 in Brighton. He lifted the ball twice thinking that he would soon have a free hit 12 meters after Judge Craig Pawson pointed out the place. Var ruined the Newcastle party, spotting two inaccurate Pawson calls, so he looked like one of those days for Isaac and his team.

But another chance would come for 89 minutes when Pawson finally noticed a legitimate sentence and Isaac was not in the mood to transfer it.

In scoring, he became the first Newcastle United player to score 23 goals in the Premier League season of Alan Shearer in 2002, and now he has 22 goals in the last 26 league appearances. There is still time to catch Mohamed Salah and in the Golden Boot race. Return is with three games to play, and Salah has only scored once in the last six games of the Premier League. The more insignificant things happened.

Verbruggen again shows number one features

There were invitations from some parts of Brighton fans to replace goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

Prior to 1-1 with Newcastle, Seagulli received at least twice in each of their last six Premier League matches and delivered 24 goals in their previous 11 league matches. Verbruggen was not just guilty, but his lack of confidence and authority did not help his defenders. Brighton also has the worst savings ratio in the Premier League this season (59.6 percent).

However, in his best performance in 2025, Verbruggen rejected Newcastle. Solidly from the set -scomad and looking much more composed under pressure, Verbruggen made four savings -whose choice he came to stop time to refuse Callum Wilson’s winning goal. If it can remain in this form, Brighton’s defense procedure and numbers should return to improvement.

Tel puts the case forward to start against a point/gllimt

Ange Postecoglou wholesale changes in Tottenham 1-1 in West Ham enabled those who brought their case to start on Thursday in the Europa League semi-final leg on the point/Glimt Mathys tel took it.

The French striker was the most dangerous Spurs player at the London stadium because he helped the Wilson Odobert opener after pressing the West Ham Max Kilman defender in the error.

Tel tried eight dribbling – most of any players in the game – and he had two shots, and only Jarrod Bowen had more.

It was another promising depiction of a man on Bayern from Munich, who found his legs on the left wing for Spurs, and Postecoglou praised the 20-year-olds in his press conference after the match.

He said, “He has taken the information and now understands the role a little better, especially on the left.

“These last few weeks have obviously kicked Sonny (Heung-my son). We needed him to fulfill that void and I think he did the job well.”

If Tel started on Thursday in Norway, then that would be deserved. And with more such performances, the Spurs will want to activate the £ 45m option to last permanently signed from Bayern.

Kayode looks a real job for Brentford

Michael Kayode needed just under three months to join Brentford’s first start on borrowing from Fiorentine in January. Before that, there was a quick view of what he had to offer; Striking stones that gave the taste of what was supposed to come.

But he started with his right Bek in the last three games of bees and was a key part of the team that first won three in a row from running between October 21 and November 4, 2023.

The twenty-year-old seemed eager to move forward from the start during his visit to MAN UTD GTECH, and his boundless energy caused Amorim’s problems on the side-as his monstrous launcher, as shown in the lead to his own goal of Luka Shaw.

Kayode completed the most dribbling (5) in the match, won the most duel (10) and ended up with a 97 -pointed passage of passage, which is the most player who played 45 minutes or more. “He looked like he was just enjoying playing football,” Thomas Frank said after that.

There is certainly no doubt that Brentford will take over the opportunity to stay in West London’s permanent at the end of the season.

Hammers Season Bizzling Fast

If it was ever the day when things were finally clicked for West Ham under Graham Potter, it was certainly a visit to the Tottenham rivals at London Stadium.

The hammers had a week to prepare for the London derby, a luxury compared to Spurs’s 64-hour turn from the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday against Bodo-Glimt.

On Thursday, the Spurs in Norway’s Dimickel to Norway, Postecoglou’s eight changes before the game made it clear, so the opportunity knocked for Potter’s relaxed hammers to end waiting in seven games.

Before the ball was thrown out, the frustration had convened a mood among fan bases that had not seen a victory from the end of February, but it turned to apathy with full working hours.

They walked to the early exit, despite the table he read 1-1 with a look of late victory in Derby still on the table.

A fact that was not enough to keep parts of a dissatisfied fan base in its seats shows how much Rut Deep West Ham with three games is left to save something from this season.
