The gears of fate begin to turn! Amorim helps Manchester United avenge ten years of humiliation, and Slott s good luck ends here

In the 8th round of the Premier League, Manchester United, the worst team in history, defeated Liverpool, the strongest team in history on paper, 2-1 at Anfield, ending the embarrassing history of being unbeaten in the past 9 visits to Anfield. So, when was the last time Manchester United won at Anfield?

The answer is: 9 years ago, compulsory education was completed. In the 22nd round of the 2015/16 Premier League season, Manchester United defeated Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield. At that time, Manchester United did not even bother to take the Europa League trophy to shine, and could still rely on the family fortune left by Sir Alex Ferguson to support its appearance; and at that time, Liverpool... was going through the darkest period in history.

However, just after that double-red meeting, the fate of the two hegemons of English League One and Premier League began to rotate: Liverpool invited Klopp to start the club's glorious era in the Premier League; Manchester United fell into an endless cycle of changing coaches, firing coaches, and recruiting coaches, and fell into a dark abyss.

So, what happens after this double red meeting?

First of all, what is certain is that Amorin’s position as coach is definitely stable. During the international match, Sir Ratcliffe publicly supported Amorim and promised to play for three years. Now, with ten years of meritorious service in breaking the curse, Amorin's position as commander will be worry-free for at least three years.

Frankly speaking, although Amorim has been the worst coach in the history of Manchester United since he took over, the blame cannot be placed entirely on this young coach - Ten Hag brought personal goods to harm others and himself, and Amorim had many difficulties in implementing tactics. Looking at the record now, although Manchester United has 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, although it is not in the top six, its three defeats were against Arsenal and Manchester City, who are capable of competing for the championship, as well as their nemesis Brighton. Their four wins included defending champion Liverpool and Club World Cup champion Chelsea, which is really not bad.

The one who is really in trouble is Slot.

Slott was obviously dazzled by the sudden success and seriously misjudged the cruelty of the Premier League. Last season, as a rookie coach in the Premier League, he was naturally cautious. He was only slightly conservative under Klopp's mature tactical system, and with a little bit of novice luck, he won the Premier League championship.

Obviously, it is difficult to distinguish the credit for this Premier League championship trophy - Slott completed the feat with zero signings and zero reinforcements, but the lineup and tactics are completely Klopp's imprint.

But with the Premier League championship trophy at the back, Slott is naturally eager to complete the cut with Klopp. So in the summer window of this year, Slott didn't know what kind of sweet talk he used to convince Henry, who has always been prudent, to open his wallet and make crazy signings. He even won the Premier League title for the second time in a single transfer window.

Subsequently, Slott began to implement his own tactics, giving up high-post pressing and switching to passing, controlling and penetrating. What was the result? In the first 5 rounds of the Premier League, they relied on 4 wins and then suffered a backlash. They lost 3 games in a row and were all defeated by their opponents.

Although Slott can blame the defeat of this double red club on bad luck, the facts do not lie. Manchester United's simple and crude long pass at the last moment made Liverpool unable to deal with it. As for the strong reinforcements that Xia Chuang introduced in a big way, Isaac still failed to gain anything, Wirtz was still at a loss, and Kolkoz became a big colander... Ekitic was the only one to play out of form. After Isaac arrived, he became lost.

Not only that, the tactical changes also caused Salah and McAllister to lose their form. Last season, only 2 goals were scored in the Premier League Golden Boot, and the best midfielder has also become a loophole...

The road is long and difficult. Both Slott and Amorin have a long and difficult road to go, but their mentality is different.
