Again Manchester United made the same mistake as happened against Brentford, when they could not defend well before the game ended and an extraordinary comeback in the match was actually a nightmare for Manchester United, now Manchester United again recorded a bad record in the game after becoming the first team this season to lead the match until 99.17 seconds before turning in defeat in the Premier League, Of course, it is not a record that is indeed enough to be proud of Manchester United fans and management at this time.
I think in addition to Manchester United players who need to be evaluated, of course, ten Hag's performance in Manchester is also questionable at this time, because after all, Manchester United has budgeted a lot of money, but Manchester United's performance has not improved until now, the defensive methods applied by Ten Hag so far are not very strong and still have many weaknesses on each side, So when they get aggressive counterattacks like in the game against Chelsea yesterday, it makes it difficult for Manchester defenders to stop the attack and sometimes forces Manchester United defenders to foul to be able to stop the movement of Chelsea attackers.
I was really hoping that after ten Hag told the Man UTD board that sacking him will be a mistake and would set the club back, he'd do something spectacular. Well to be fair, they would have been spectacular if just like you said, they had maintained a good defense.
To be honest, at the beginning of the game, the both sides played almost equally, only that Chelsea showed much promise than the visitors. Cole Palmer's contribution to the team was no doubt a great one and he's more or less the person carrying the club right now. Ever since he debuted, he has been excellent and yesterday's game was like a decider between which club's manager will be retained and the dying minutes goal sealed Ten Hag's fate and more pressure will be on him go to deliver satisfactorily.
Chelsea are now in tenth place but will they be able to move up from here or should we expect them to go back because for a while now they've been in 11th place and if ever they move up, it won't be long before they come back.
Pochettino hasn't been the best coach of the season especially as his side drew to ten man Burnley last time but last night gave him some respite from the tongue lashing.
