""Fighting is not a bad thing," said Amorim. "Fighting does not mean that [players] don't like each other. "Fighting is 'you lose the ball, I will fight you because we will suffer a goal [conceded].' I don't agree with the sending off."
""I hope that when my players lose the ball, they fight each other,""
""They cannot get sent off, but that is a good feeling, not a bad feeling. We didn't understand the moments of the game.""
Ruben Amorim said Idrissa Gueye should not have been sent off after appearing to strike teammate Michael Keane during Everton's 1-0 win at Manchester United. Amorim described on-pitch altercations over mistakes as a positive sign of engagement, saying fighting does not mean dislike and that players should contest lost balls to prevent conceded goals. He said he disagreed with referee Tony Harrington's violent-conduct red card decision. Amorim criticised Manchester United for lacking intensity and failing to capture the necessary excitement to press their advantage late in a five-match unbeaten run.
