Newcastle has been the better side so far in this game pressurizing Manchester united without pity forcing them to sit down in their own 18 yard box, making errors and causing fowls and I don't think Manchester united can survive this pressure from Newcastle tonight, they will eventually concede. Newcastle just need to be more creative in the second half with the ball to find a goal behind the red devil's net. Manchester united has lost their old glory and it's just a shame they are playing so terrible with team work and pattern unlike their opponent in this game that's playing as a team that knows what they are out tonight for.
Its very hard to believe that Newcastle united couldn't find the back of the net with several chances in front of goal and hitting the woodwork and mesmerizing the Manchester united defence as if they they were playing against a youth team, how they couldn't find the back of the net is something can't figure out, but I can tell you for sure that the Manchester united side were extremely lucky to have not conceded a goal in the first 45minutes and I wonder how long it would take before they run out of luck, they just have to step up their game or risk being beaten tonight because the Newcastle side are playing with so much intensity and pace tonight and they will surely come back with more fire in second half and if the red devils do not brace up, then Newcastle may break the deadlock.
I still don't know how Newcastle is going to perform in this match and that's hard to predict this match between Newcastle and Manchester United because Newcastle is a team they are in the Champions League for the first time. Still, they couldn't improve their team and Newcastle was usually unpredictable and unstable tam while Manchester United is under hard pressure because of the poor performance they had. They need to beat Newcastle in this match.
We still know that Newcastle is currently not weak and, in recent years, has continuously caused difficulties for MU, but few people expected that they would play such a bad match and lose entirely even though the score was only 0. -1. Newcastle is always a complex and challenging opponent for clubs. MU plays with the mentality of an underdog team, only trying to defend and waiting for opportunities to counterattack. Against Newcastle, coach Erik ten Hag arranged the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation with 4 adjustments compared to the 3-3 draw with Galatasaray a few days ago. However, Newcastle United's defense successfully completed the task of blocking Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial, and Marcus Rashford.
In the final minutes of the match, Antony had a chance to kick into Newcastle's net, but Harry Maguire accidentally touched the ball in an offside position, causing the goal to be disallowed. Except for the above situation, Maguire had a good performance against Newcastle overall. He continued his high form, bringing certainty to the Red Devils' defense. However, if there are no positive changes, the opportunity for MU to enter the top 4 is a little. Whatever the reason, Manchester United fans cannot afford to hear any more excuses from Erik ten Hag for this consistently disappointing result.
