In the first day of the 6th round of the Premier League, there were many upsets. Liverpool ushered in its first defeat in the season, Chelsea and Manchester United both lost to their opponents, Tottenham barely tied the team at the end of the list, and only Manchester City can beat the newly promoted Burnley and maintain the face of the giants.

Marteau United lost to Brentford away, I don't know if it's an unpopular one. First, Manchester United's away performance has always been bad. Second, Manchester United is still a relegation team after all, and B's penalty kick was a key turning point in the loss. Chelsea lost, and Chaloba could only blame him. After leaving the game, Chelsea scored three goals in a row by Brighton, with two consecutive red cards, resulting in three consecutive league games. Maresca's substitution once again caused controversy. After two consecutive victories at the beginning, Tottenham seemed to have become the unpredictable team again, with only one win in the last four games. Facing the Wolves, which had lost five consecutive games in the first game, they could only rely on Palinia's goal in stoppage time and barely scored one point.

Wolves at the end of the list almost won the first season, while Liverpool, who was at the top, was not so lucky to have a first loss in the season. In the last seven games, Liverpool won 6 games at the last moment. When Chiesa tied the score in the 87th minute, the familiar story seemed to be just not far away. Unexpectedly, Liverpool will also be "decisive" backfire. Arsenal's former player Nketia scored in the 97th minute, helping Crystal Palace score all three points.

Although he lost Eze, Crystal Palace was not affected much. After defeating Liverpool, it became the only team that remained unbeaten in the Premier League. It also rose to second place in the standings, chasing Liverpool, which is higher than traditional giants such as Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Slott also needs to consider how to allow the team to gain greater advantages early, rather than always leaving the suspense to the end. Liverpool is really tired. Starting with the Community Shield, including the Premier League, the Champions League and the League Cup, it has completed 9 games, achieving 7 consecutive victories, and only 2 games cannot win. It just so happened that both games face Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace defeated the powerful Liverpool again, proving that the championship of the Community Shield is not an upset, but a factor of strength. Soon, the two teams had another chance to meet. Next month, in the top 16 of the League Cup, Liverpool will be at home to meet the challenge of Crystal Palace. If you think longer-term, you will face Crystal Palace at home in the fifth round of the league. That time, it should be a critical moment for the championship.

Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool in a row, and coach Glasner made an indelible contribution. He conceded only 3 goals in 6 league games, and his excellent defense has led to a steadily rising rankings. Crystal Palace can send Eze away, but Guy must be left behind, and Glasner's persistence is rewarded. A few days later, Crystal Palace will go away to usher in the first game of the European Union. If it can maintain this state, the European champion will float in front of it.

Interestingly, when Manchester United struggled to adapt to the three-back system and Amorin kept emphasizing that he would stick to it, Glasner used the results to show that three-backs are feasible in the Premier League, and that the Premier League champion Liverpool will also be afraid of the three-back system.

Facing Liverpool, Guy leads the three-man defense line, Walton and Kamada Dadi guard the midfield, Matt Tower serves as the fulcrum of the frontcourt, and the overall changes in Crystal Palace should make Manchester United ashamed. Walton is more efficient than B Fee or Ugath, and Gee is more stable than Maguire. He has no disconnection between front and back courts, and his offense and defense balance is very accurate.

When the situation was not good, Glasner replaced two forwards in the last ten minutes. When Kamada Dadi was exhausted, he replaced the younger Devini in stoppage time, and Nketia finally scored. On the other hand, Amorin admitted after the game that he had long understood the advantages of the opponent's long pass, but he still used Maguire, who turned slowly, to start. When he was behind, he remembered to change defenders and midfielder. He only knew in the last few minutes that he wanted to strengthen the offensive and replace offensive players to play.

Unclear and difficult to understand, is also one of the reasons why Amorin cannot play the three defenders. When Gey was in a transfer storm, Glasner seemed to suggest that this was his last season at Crystal Palace. I wonder if Glasner will join Manchester United next summer, from a champion team with three defenders to join another team that hopes to compete for the championship with three defenders? After all, the two teams have similar formations, Walton is also one of Manchester United's goals, which is highly matched, and goalkeeper Henderson is also an old acquaintance of Manchester United.

In recent years, Liverpool fans should be happy and can still top the list with occasional defeats. The hard days have finally slowly left and the harvest season has come. Manchester United fans should be as heart-warming as rocks, and in the face of any setbacks, they will become unattainable in the face of the threshold of pain.
