Manchester United drew 2-2 away to Aston Villa, C Ronaldo did not make the big list, B Fei scored two goals first, and looked like he was going to lightly win the opponent, but Coutinho passed at the key moment and finally took a point from Manchester United. The Red Devils' defense went wrong in this game, and the sharpness on the offensive end was also lost in the second half, which is also a problem for the team. Recently, there have been many doubts about C Ronaldo and his teammates to impact the top three of the league, some people have refuted his remarks, some people think that he should leave the team, but Manchester United without C Ronaldo is still invincible to weak brigades, which is enough to show that the team's problem is not the weakness of the leader, but many problems can not be solved, and the disunity in the team is also caused by too much talk from some celebrities outside.
The new Manchester United manager also has an unbeaten record for a period of time after taking charge of the team, but the process is not very smooth, and once the honeymoon period between the manager and the team has passed, both sides need to face problems, especially in the case of poor records, whether the new manager can deter the dressing room becomes particularly important. In addition, the call and influence of the core players must also be supported by the manager, because in this way the dressing room will not be chaotic. The games in which Manchester United lost points were caused by the instability of the defensive line in the second half, and there were also some games that were dudded on the offensive end, and the core players received insufficient support, which really needed to be well rectified within the team to resolve.
B's ability is recognized, but if the defense can't be stable, no amount of goals can guarantee three points. After C Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, there are also some games that are absolutely critical, and if there are always huge holes in the defense, losing and drawing should not be borne by C Ronaldo and other offensive players. Currently in the Premier League table, Manchester United is ranked 7th, with 32 points in 20 league rounds, with a record of 9 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses, scoring 32 goals and conceding 29 goals, which also shows that there are too many goals conceded on the defensive end. United have scored second fewer goals than the top six teams and 23 goals less than Liverpool, which is a huge gap. The number of goals conceded is one less than West Ham, and 16 more goals than Manchester City, which conceded the fewest, which is also a large data comparison, so Manchester United really need to reflect on it.
Villa ranked 14th before the game, ranked 13th after the game, currently 7 wins, 2 draws, 11 losses and 23 points, this game also played its own momentum, new signing Coutinho completed the first game of return to the Premier League to make a pass, and then the opponents of the team will have some fear, after all, Coutinho may also continue his high efficiency. Because the strength of the players is in place, and the individual wants to prove himself in the Premier League, the efficiency will also be superimposed.
Manchester United's arrangement for this match is Edinson Cavani, Iganga and B Fei to lead the game, Sancho and Maguire were placed on the bench, and Sancho was given the opportunity to appear in the 72nd minute, but was unable to reverse the result of the draw. Interestingly, Coutinho came on in the 68th minute and The United boss sent Sancho off the bench to replace players with some physical exertion and thought he could stabilize the advantage of taking the lead by two goals, unfortunately Villa scored consecutive goals in the 77th and 82nd minutes, while Sancho and B Fee did not create an absolute threat during this period.
It is strange that the new Manchester United manager only made a second substitution in the 89th minute, replacing Greenwood and Fernandez with Van de Beek and Lingard, but this time the substitution has not helped, because there is too little time and substitute Lingard can not save the savior. The first half was indeed crucial, he first caused a mistake by the opponent goalkeeper Martinez, thus determining the advantage of a goal early, and then he and his teammates repeatedly threatened the opponent's goal, unfortunately other teammates did not take advantage of the excellent attacking opportunity.
In the second half, B Fee first received a yellow card for flying shoveling Sansson, which was also due to the increase in attacking threats from Villa, the constant threat of Manchester United's goal, and De Gea also made some wonderful saves. Then B fee was strictly guarded and there were also some difficulties, fortunately Fred successfully passed the ball after the successful steal in front of the B fee to expand the lead, and the tacit understanding between the two was indeed full. Without Coutinho, there was no suspense in this game, but his appearance made Villa's attack sharper, his cross was very subtle, so Ramsey's shot was also easy, and then the two worked together again to produce a goal, only this time it was Ramsey's cross in the penalty area to help the new signing score his debut goal for Villa.
The statistics of the two teams were also equal throughout the game, Villa shot 13-13 on goal, shot 9-6 on target, corner kicks 3-6, 55% possession to 45%, and free-kicks 14-7. The pressure on United's defence is indeed obvious, so after the game some fans thought that Manchester United was lucky to get a point, because Coutinho's shot at the end was blocked by his teammates, if it was not so unlucky, Villa was likely to take three points, and Manchester United's passivity in the second half was indeed incomprehensible.
Greenwood is powerful, he is also a lone wolf, and a team that wants to win must be the cooperation of the team, and it is wiser in the choice of attack, not to miss the opportunity. In this game, Cavani also tried his best on the field, both offensive and defensive ends are very hard, and he hopes to get the support of his teammates, but it is counterproductive. It can be said that no front-line player can score a goal without support, so those who say that Ronaldo is inefficient are really talking to themselves.
United's next fixture is away to Brentford, a team that is 14th in the ranking but has upset the giants this season, so United also need to give it their all. This dark horse once drew 3-3 at home to Liverpool, even if it is losing to Manchester City and Chelsea, it is a small loss of 1 goal, after entering 2022, it has won 2-0 at home to Villa, so the team's home scoring ability can not be underestimated, Manchester United can not lose points again, and defensive line reinforcement is the top priority.
