It was a relegation team vs European zone team game, but in the end Everton laughed to the end, these three points are an important three points on Everton's relegation road, and for Manchester United, losing these three points basically means losing the opportunity to compete for Champions League qualification, unless it includes Arsenal and Tottenham, which will waste a lot of opportunities together, and in the last few rounds, they will continue to lose games.
1. First, let's take a look at the first half of the game:
Manchester United and Everton are the starting bench
United's side is basically a 4231 formation, and Everton seems to be a 433 lineup, but when it comes to defending, it is a clear 451, or 4141.
The Manchester United side of the start is actually not like Lonnick likes to start, the most conspicuous point is the frontcourt, usually, Lonnick hopes to arrange 1-2 players who can run, and the young Mananga was promoted under Cavani's long-term injury.
But in this game, Marcus Rashford, who has been criticized this season, became the youngest player to represent Manchester United in 200 Premier League games, but he and Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo are completely divided, and it is difficult to see their cooperation with each other.
So, in the game, it seems that Manchester United has more possession of the ball for a longer period of time, but in fact, United's positional battle coordination, when the Everton squad is retracted, is weak and chaotic.
Sancho's performance is puzzling, completely devoid of the style of the Dortmund era
As the only explosive point in the front field of Manchester United, Sancho is in a "disappearing" state most of the time, even if it appears, it is difficult to create a threat for Manchester United, obviously for Sancho, he is a player who needs to "cooperate", after all, he is not Messi.
Throughout the first half, Everton's train of thought was clear, that is, to defend and counterattack, looking for a fatal opportunity to strike a blow.
Manchester United side is not clear, go to the side? Hit the middle? Or after the fight? Manchester United have tried, but the effect is not good, to talk about the ball feel like, Manchester United participated in the Champions League quarter-finals two or three days ago, the whole team is very tired.
United conceded goals
This is a very typical counterattack, Everton midfield straight to the side, the side of the triangle to the middle of the road, and finally the middle of the road back to a pad, no one to watch Anthony Gordon to meet the ball came a foot, coincidentally, the ball touched Maguire, the much criticized Maguire, facing this ball, it is simply a pot on the pot!
Is This ball blamed Maguire? In fact, there was nothing wrong with him, it was pure bad luck, although this ball was not blamed on Maguire at all, but it was so uncomfortable.
In general, Manchester United did not have much to say in the first half, only to give people a kind: Manchester United is not as good as playing defensive counterattacks, after all, when playing counter-attacks, do not have to think about anything, as long as the ball is sent forward!
When Everton scored, Manchester United was even more embarrassed, completely missing the successive shots from the beginning of the game, and Wasfeton found the opportunity to counterattack continuously.
2. Second half of the game
There was still something to be said in the second half.
At the beginning of the second half, Everton played a fierce game, as a weak side, Everton and Lampard have little room to choose, defensive counterattack is a necessary idea, and preemptive start may find opportunities for the team to win.
United started the second half in a confused start
You can look at a defensive map of Manchester United in the second half, 10 players who can move, all crowded together with Everton players, which causes Everton to often find the opportunity to counterattack in place after attacking, this time period, Manchester United's backcourt is very difficult, and even difficult to find the way to play.
So, at this time, Bruno Fernandez stepped forward, he came to the backcourt to participate in the ball and organization, so that Manchester United quickly pushed Everton back.
Bruno Fernandez's precise long pass
You can look at this picture, Bruno Fernandez in manchester United passive time, constantly from the front of the field to the backcourt, from the backcourt to the front, very active, many times with long pass dispatch, creating a threat for Manchester United, which makes Manchester United regain the initiative!
In the 60th minute of the game, Manchester United made two consecutive substitutions, Mata made his debut for Manchester United in the Premier League for the first time this season, and youngster Erlanga replaced Marcus Rashford, of which replacing Mata is a very interesting phenomenon.
First of all, there is really no one on the Manchester United bench, in addition to these two in the midfield, only Jesse Lingard did not play, and there is a young player Mebry who comes to feel the atmosphere, and Lonnick in the backward situation can only be replaced in this way, but at the same time, Longnick seems to give Mata some command and let him command some of Manchester United's offensive routines.
Manchester United have added side-by-side fits
Manchester United will try more to cooperate on the flanks, and Juanta is the key to this, it is clear that Lonnick wants to control the game at this time, while increasing the proportion of crosses, compared to other positional attacks, Manchester United try more crosses, no doubt because of this tactic, can reduce the threat of opponents counterattack.
However, in addition to the two offensive means of over-the-top long passes and crosses, Manchester United have almost no other way to create a threat, and occasionally can play a wave of counterattacks, but Everton's retreat is deeper after all, which has led to Manchester United having an empty advantage, seemingly in control of the situation, but it is completely difficult to create an embarrassing situation that threatens the attack.
From the scene point of view, Manchester United did play better in the second half than in the first half, but in fact, such a Manchester United is a team that makes people invisible hope, a complete "bulk cargo", a single play, not much tactical change, it is difficult to support Manchester United's desire for revival.
Full-court stats for both sides
Manchester United's stronger posture in the data, completely fell into Everton's midfield hanging trap in the scene, constantly fighting with opponents in midfield, of course, the more likely reason is that Manchester United does not have the ability to send balls to the front field, and the frontcourt players organize the attack.
United lack a player who can hold the ball in front of the field, and when Fred was replaced in the first half, Tan Qiujun once thought that Pogba might be in a higher position and try to become the fulcrum of the frontcourt, but in fact, Pogba is in average condition and does not seem to have the heart to become such a player.
Manchester United lost this game in luck, but the loss is not unjust, such a team, Chatball Jun feels that not many Manchester United fans think they deserve 3 points!
Conclusion: The future of Manchester United can only be handed over to the new manager
Now Manchester United gives people the feeling that there are many shortcomings, and the advantages are even more pitiful, and The chat ball jun has also mentioned many times, such as the contracts of many players in Manchester United, the contracts of coaches and other issues, which may affect the players' dedication and support to the team.
At the same time, during the live broadcast, it can also be clearly found that this Manchester United is restless in the game, complaining to each other, too many negative emotions affect everyone, no one knows why this situation occurs, but it is certain that even today Arsenal lost the game, but no one believes that Manchester United can enter the top four.
Maguire did well except for the refracted ball
What happened to Maguire, like The Manchester United dilemma, looks like a hard work, looks like the performance is OK, but when Manchester United is questioned by people, in the self-doubt of the players, in the uncertainty of the players about the future, even if you want to perform the best, the goddess of luck will not be on your side.
