"If we lost to Arsenal because of the system, it is your job [the media] to make the opinion,"
"When you look at the game against [Manchester] City, is the first thing you think when the game starts the system? I think you don't think about the system in that moment."
"And Brentford, the way we concede goals, the way we create chances, there is nothing to do with the system. That is my opinion."
"My point is, if I look at the games we didn't win, the most important thing when I watch the game is not that we lost because of the system."
Ruben Amorim publicly defended his use of a 3-4-3 formation amid criticism and calls for change. He argued that recent defeats, including a 3-1 loss to Brentford, were not caused by the system and said match events and chance creation are independent of formation. Amorim acknowledged pressure after nine wins in 33 Premier League games and accepted accountability for results, telling players that winning is the only way to quiet outside noise. Former players have voiced strong criticism, and upcoming fixtures add further scrutiny on his tenure.
