“Your Career is over here we don’t need you anymore I don’t see any future in you” Sir Jim Ratcliffe has Sacked Manchester United Coach Erig Ten Hag this morning after Shocking defeat Vs Chelsea
Following Brentford’s setback, there was a resurgence, but not for Manchester United.
United’s performance at Stamford Bridge had more of a West End flair than that of West London, showcasing their captivating and energetic style until Diogo Dalot’s clumsy challenge on Noni Madueke in the 96th minute.
In United’s 90-minute matches this season, there have been 26 goals scored from the 80th minute onwards. With the latest two added by Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, that tally now stands at 28. Palmer, despite being taunted as a “City reject” by United fans, achieved a remarkable feat by scoring a hat-trick against his boyhood club.
United’s tendency to concede late goals and in rapid succession remains a concern. Following a 99th-minute equalizer against Brentford, they conceded goals in the 110th and 111th minutes.
The contrasting reactions of Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag further emphasized the issues within the United squad. Despite a commendable performance, the team’s recurring defensive frailties and susceptibility to late goals suggest a lack of Champions League-worthy mentality.
Even amidst one of their better performances of the tumultuous campaign, the outcome serves as evidence to question Ten Hag’s tenure. United conceded goals in familiar fashion and suffered another late defeat, leaving Antony visibly distraught at the final whistle.
Supported by the resounding cheers from the away fans at the Shed End, United displayed glimpses of progress, aligning with the “process” mentioned by Ten Hag in his pre-match press conference. However, the result against Chelsea stands out as one of their most disheartening outcomes.
While United has a knack for comeback victories from 2-0 deficits, this match appeared to follow a similar pattern. Despite encouraging aspects of their performance, particularly when Chelsea led 2-0, United’s efforts were ultimately in vain. The team showcased both finesse and resilience, even amidst defensive setbacks, exemplified by the introduction of 19-year-old Willy Kambwala for a thorough examination.
