This match was so monotonous for Manchester United even though they needed a goal but their performance did not show anything good until this 40th minute.
The 2 goals at the beginning of the first half were a bit disappointing in this match, even though they are very well ahead especially with their condition which has always received quite good results over the last few matches.
Injuries are really a big problem for Man United. They have to play without four first-team players as in this match (Bruno Fernandes can't play because he's already got 5 yellow cards, while others are injured). Man United's performance has improved before halftime and I think they still have a chance to catch up, it's just that they have to stay alert for the counterattack from Aston Villa, moreover, some of the Aston Villa players have a pretty fast pace.
And in the end they had to lose 3-1 at the end of the game. Losing a main player does affect them, moreover they are still struggling to create a team that can really be trusted in every game. They got 1 goal in this game and it was an own goal from Aston Villa's player. Manchester United are better, but their bad habits from last season are still with them even with their new coach. I can't think of what could actually be the motivation for this team, because they are always changing in every game, they can play well against strong teams, but they can also play badly against weak teams. This is completely beyond logic.
Tottenham 0:2 Liverpool
With the starting lineup of both Tottenham and Liverpool that I saw, it is obvious that Liverpool is going to win Tottenha. Notable finishers of Tottenham are missing in this match, players like Richarlison, Luka modric and Son are nowhere to be found.
Honestly, it is going to be a hard game for Tottenham if they have a draw in the match it is a good result for them
Edit: The first half has ended with Salah scoring the two goals in the first half
I am very happy when Liverpool can win again this week and I am happy when I see Mohamed Salah score again even it is 2 goals that he created and sealed a 1-2 win over hosts Tottenham. Jurgen Klopp's men managed to play well in this match and could end their 2 defeats. I think Liverpool and Manchester United are in a similar situation now. Yes, if we compare them, we will find one similarity in their match results against strong teams and weak teams. I don't want to see Liverpool following in the footsteps of Manchester United.
