United's midfield rebuild stalls as fans voice mounting frustration

Manchester United's midfield rebuild under Michael Carrick again looks unsettled as Fulham outwork them, exposing a lack of tempo and coherence in midfield and attack. A late Cunha shot deflected in off David Affengruber after Lisandro Martínez’s own goal earned United a fortunate 1-1 draw, while Gary Neville and the away section vented at the lack of intensity. The result leaves United five points from five games and questions linger over Carrick's plans, Baleba's readiness, and the broader transfer strategy as the club chases a more coherent blueprint.

Manchester United caretaker boss Michael Carrick remained hopeful after a 1-0 loss at Fulham, praising the supporters and United’s attacking play, noting several near-misses and a late deflection that decided the game, and insisting there are positives to build on as he believes the team will have a good season once they regroup after the break.

Carrick Takes Responsibility as United Seek Quick Reset

Michael Carrick took responsibility for United's poor start after a 3-2 defeat to Brighton, urging players to raise their level as new signings (including Cunha and Dalot) underperform while Baleba, Andrey Santos, and Tielemans have yet to settle. An injury to Luke Shaw has exposed a weak left-back area with Dorgu and Mazraoui not convincing, and Rashford, though lively, is yet to score. With a trip to Fulham and a three-week international break approaching, United hope a win can reset and quiet external scrutiny.

Midfield malfunction: Liverpool's balance problem after Fulham draw

Liverpool’s 0-0 stalemate with Fulham exposed a midfield balance crisis for Andoni Iraola: fatigue drained intensity, the system lacked a dedicated holding midfielder, and Szoboszlai and Gravenberch couldn’t control the middle, while Tsimikas underperformed at left-back and Kerkez has no clear rival for his spot. Mac Allister showed a late uptick, Nyoni could be a fresh option, and Iraola must rethink personnel ahead of Tottenham.

Arsenal surge and Fulham fragility define a tense Premier League weekend

The weekend featured tight margins across many sides, with Coventry performing above City in the metric despite defeat, Sunderland and Leeds offering bright notes, and Palace capitalising on Fulham’s fragility to grab a late winner. Overall, the data underscores how small margins separate a crowded pack.

Arbeloa era under fire as Fulham and Palace stumble into relegation chatter

A doom-laden take on Fulham and Crystal Palace—both start with zero points under fresh regimes—meets a corrective from the columnist, who argues the relegation scare is overblown groupthink. The piece follows a chaotic 3-2 Palace win at Craven Cottage (after a tense 2-2 spells and VAR offside), notes Arbeloa’s tech-bro image on the touchline and some questionable summer signings, and warns that hasty, chaotic choices could derail both clubs. It concludes that, despite the early fire, the season is far from decided and their next test is a trip to Anfield.

The result leaves Fulham on zero points from three games and sets up a run of fixtures including Liverpool and a Carabao Cup tie with West Ham ahead of the international break, as new signings Palacios, Garcia and Charles start to settle in.
