00:00If Manchester United can defeat Chelsea and Chelsea defeat Liverpool, why can't Manchester United defeat...

00:05I love this.

00:07And we'll return to the nutmeg with English football's biggest rivalry.

00:10Liverpool up against Manchester United.

00:13We'll preview that on this edition of the show.

00:15My name is Ayomide Daniels.

00:17I bid you welcome.

00:22Of course, let's take on this edition of the show.

00:25I've got Manchester United fan, organ, familiar face.

00:30And I've got a debutant on the show.

00:32His name is Pascal Madweke.

00:35Pascal, a Chelsea fan.

00:36Great to have you on the show.

00:37Thanks for having me.

00:39Right.

00:39And of course, we know the fixture we're looking forward to is Liverpool up against Manchester United.

00:45Liverpool before the international break.

00:47We're not on a good form.

00:50And Manchester United picked up a very important win against Sunderland.

00:54And that, of course, sets the tone for this clash at Anfield on Sunday.

01:00And I'm going to start with Pascal.

01:02Of course, Chelsea got the better of Liverpool just before the international break.

01:08One thing Manchester United fans have been interested to ask you is how can they get the better?

01:12What can they learn from that result at Stamford Bridge and then take into the game against Liverpool to, of course, guarantee three points?

01:24Well, one thing about Liverpool so far this season is that they don't look to be stabilised so far.

01:29Because, first of all, they have added about five, six or seven players into their current set-up.

01:36And now it's looking very difficult for them to, you know, harness all this.

01:40It's looking very difficult for Anos Lord to harness all this talent and, you know, show the workings.

01:45Even the first five to six games that they won, it was through, you know, through late wins.

01:51They were just trying to get the win.

01:54Like, just trying to force the win.

01:57And the game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was more like Chelsea having an upper hand against them.

02:05Chelsea in the defence.

02:07Chelsea were very depleted in the defence.

02:08But they had good wingers.

02:10They had Esteval and Pedroneto.

02:12They were posing problems to the Liverpool's defence.

02:15And that was kind of what gave them problems.

02:17And also in the midfield.

02:18That midfield of Enzo and Canisado were just, they were superior to Liverpool's defence.

02:26To Liverpool's midfield, rather.

02:27So it was just a matter of Chelsea having the upper hand and Liverpool still trying to pick up themselves.

02:33And it was a good game.

02:34And at the end, Chelsea came up with the win.

02:36Yeah, of course.

02:37And that was what ensued.

02:38I'll ask you, Ogan, now, on the strength of what he said, how confident are you that you'll get into Anfield and pick up all three points?

02:45I know last season it ended 2-2, but Manchester United also delivered one of their better performances of the season gone by.

02:54Yeah, so we know definitely that Liverpool have not been formidable this season.

02:58Like you said, they've been winning late wins, late goals.

03:02And, you know, it's just like luck has been on their side.

03:05But in the past three games, luck has not been on their side in all competition.

03:08And I feel like Anislaut has not been able to actually blend in, you know, the best of these players that he just brought in to me.

03:17Nine summer recruits.

03:18Yes.

03:19And they've not still got it right yet.

03:20And I feel like one of the reasons why it looked like Chelsea was able to play them was because many of the players were playing out of position.

03:28You know, Soboslai playing as a right back.

03:32Frippong was playing as a wing forward.

03:35You know, different positions like that.

03:37Even there was a time in the game, during the game, where Gavenbridge was playing as a center defender.

03:43So, those were the things that I feel like actually affected Liverpool.

03:48And I think that this is what Manchester United should also explore, you know, to actually get the game done.

03:55To be able to win.

03:57Okay, so let's do something.

03:58Let's do quickfire questions.

04:00Now, Florian Viet, we know, was signed for a British record.

04:03But he's not particularly delivered.

04:05What's your take on him?

04:06Do you think we should give him time or is it just a waste of money?

04:08Well, you know, he's coming from German Bundesliga and he was top-notch.

04:16And even in the Champions League, where, you know, we know we can say that, okay, we want to judge a player from the top competition.

04:24It was good.

04:26But, you know, in Premier League, Premier League is no man's mate.

04:30It's an island where...

04:31So, do you think he can survive the Premier League?

04:33Well, I'll say we should give him time.

04:35And, well, he's not doing that bad.

04:38For the amount of money that, you know, he's commanded, you'd expect more from him.

04:42Premier League is a league where we don't give any player time to actually, you know, get to do what he does best.

04:50The reason why we are judging him now is because he has not provided him an assist and he has not provided a goal.

04:55Not just that.

04:55I don't think he's also done much in terms of...

04:58I feel he has done.

04:59I've not been impressed.

05:01I feel like some games, some goals they scored, there should be some thought passes towards the goal that he has made or starting the ball play.

05:14Okay, okay.

05:15But let me hear from Pascal.

05:16Do you think that Florian Vietz will in time justify that £116 million initial fee that Liverpool paid for by Leverkusen?

05:27I think he still needs to be giving more time.

05:29Because whenever I watch someone like Florian Vietz, he plays like someone that is still under intense pressure.

05:35Probably his play because of he was bought for a huge amount of money.

05:38And he also came from Leverkusen.

05:39Leverkusen to Liverpool is an upgrade.

05:43It's a massive upgrade.

05:44A massive one.

05:45Exactly.

05:45Because Leverkusen, these past few seasons, they've been good.

05:49But normally Leverkusen are not on the same level with Bayern and all of that.

05:53So coming from Leverkusen to Liverpool is more like a massive upgrade.

05:57And now he now needs to step up.

05:58And now he looks like someone will be playing under pressure.

06:00Because when you watch him at Leverkusen, he plays freely.

06:02There's no one kind of judging him or judging by his price tag or anything.

06:08But I feel like he's a good player.

06:11We watch him for the German national team.

06:12He does well.

06:13But right now in Liverpool, just give him time.

06:16Alright.

06:17I'll also ask you.

06:18We have to move away from that.

06:19Robben, I'm or him.

06:21The owners are saying that they give him three years.

06:26Do you think he's surely not to deserve that much time?

06:29Or perhaps if he even does woefully against Liverpool,

06:32perhaps they show him the exit door?

06:34For Robben, Amorim.

06:35The thing about Amorim is that he looks like someone that is stubborn.

06:40Right?

06:41He has been playing the same system which doesn't seem to be working.

06:44If you are looking for a change, you need to change something.

06:46But he doesn't seem to change anything.

06:48He keeps on playing the same thing over and over again.

06:50So do you think he'll be a success?

06:51Or do you think he has come to the end?

06:54Or he has reached his ceiling?

06:56And his ceiling is not particularly high.

06:58He's tinted last season.

06:59He's not looking like someone that will reach that ceiling any time soon.

07:04Because last season, right?

07:06Last season.

07:08The problem with last season is that they were talking about a new striker, a goalkeeper, a ringer.

07:13He's been providing with all of that.

07:15And this season is still looking like the same team.

07:17Do you reckon you beat Liverpool and you can break the duck off?

07:22Okay.

07:23We've not won two games.

07:24A win against Liverpool takes Manchester United from 8th position to probably 5th on the table.

07:30So now you have judged Amorim by...

07:32But that's on paper.

07:33You know what you did the last time here.

07:35We have judged Amorim by this season, by four games.

07:40We are given...

07:41Four?

07:42We've played more than four games.

07:43No.

07:44The games that he has lost.

07:45Okay.

07:46Okay.

07:47So we have judged him by that.

07:50We do not judge the likes of Ateta like that.

07:53We do not judge the likes of Slot like that.

07:56But that's not top of the table now.

07:58Yes.

07:59They are top of the team.

08:00Liverpool are second.

08:01Which the distance is not different.

08:03As it were.

08:04First and second last season between them was the result from last season as well.

08:08So why judge someone who finished 15th?

08:11Don't forget.

08:12There was a team.

08:13There was a structure.

08:14You said Amorim looks like someone who is stubborn.

08:18All coaches are stubborn.

08:19Gwadola was stubborn.

08:20If he was not stubborn, he would not achieve the result he got.

08:23But at least...

08:24In his first season he was able to...

08:25At least he got working.

08:26He cleared all the team.

08:28In the first season.

08:29What was Gwadola's record in the first season?

08:32Finished fourth.

08:33He finished...

08:34He didn't finish fourth position.

08:35He finished fourth position.

08:36Gwadola did not go to the Champions in his first season.

08:37He did.

08:38No, he did.

08:39He did actually.

08:40Gwadola at the end of this season.

08:41Yes, he did.

08:42Okay, probably after the show we will check the stats.

08:45He did.

08:46He did.

08:47I'm sure our fans will be surprised.

08:48What I'm saying in essence is that the coach before Amorim did not go to the Champions

08:54League.

08:55He did not qualify Manchester United to the Champions League.

08:57He took them to the Europa League.

08:59So what was the issue in Manchester United before then?

09:04Don't forget these are the same reasons why the reasons why we are crucifying Amorina is

09:08the same reasons why...

09:09This is not a Manchester United fan channel.

09:10Let's move away.

09:11Let's move away.

09:12No, I'm trying to make a point.

09:13It's the same reason why we have crucified other coaches that have come into Manchester

09:17United.

09:18But we have to move.

09:19So I take your quick predictions and then we wrap things up.

09:23Liverpool up against Manchester United.

09:25Who do you think?

09:26You defeated Liverpool.

09:27Do you think Mario United can defeat them?

09:28Because I know you will tell me Mario United will win.

09:30I know.

09:31I think Liverpool will use this game to get back into the new ways.

09:34Oh my word.

09:35And where does that leave Manchester United and Ruben Amorin?

09:39It will just be a continuous struggle for Manchester United.

09:44Because they have not won the back-to-back Premier League games since I think last year.

09:50May of last year.

09:5145 games.

09:52Exactly.

09:53And after beating Sunderland, they will kind of be relaxed or be non-challenged to get

09:58in this game.

09:59Of course, they want to beat Liverpool to make a statement for themselves.

10:02But Liverpool on the other hand have lost three games and they wouldn't want to make

10:05it four.

10:06And they will put in everything that they can to actually pick up three points against

10:09Manchester United.

10:10So I'm giving Liverpool a two-only.

10:11And justify why Mario United will win and bring that jinx.

10:15If Manchester United can defeat Chelsea and Chelsea defeat Liverpool, why can't

10:20Manchester United defeat Liverpool?

10:21What a logic.

10:22I love this.

10:23Anyways, tell us your own logic in the comment section right there on YouTube.
