How Is This An Improvement?
A lot of people were raving after Manchester United got a draw against Chelsea but I wasn't impressed. I understand that after losing 4 games on a trot, most people would welcome at least this draw but then, what purpose does this draw serve? Does it serve the objective of being mathematically available for the top 4 spots? Absolutely not... This is why I can't and won't understand why this is an improvement.
I don't want to be all critical and I have to be objective. The only thing I can say regarding the performance which is a positive is the fact that Manchester United responded quickly after Chelsea got the lead through Alone with a sumptuous volley. Ronaldo responded in like fashion with his sumptuous volley as well which made the game end 1-1.
If Manchester United had waited longer before reacting to that goal, Chelsea might have won that game and their reaction after staring at another defeat in the face was the only positive I can pick from this game because they played terribly. Alex Telles was terrible and Rashford didn't even cover up for him. Rashford was a terrible choice on that side of the pitch because he won't cover anything and he lacked the confidence to even go forward. I would have preferred Sancho there or someone else.
Chelsea utilized that side of the pitch because of how terrible the combination between Telles and Rashford was. Chelsea exploited that side but they also failed to make any meaningful thing out of it. I understand that Chelsea looked tired and their results before now show a team that is struggling and can't wait for the season to be over after back to back heavyweight matches but let's be honest, Chelsea has nothing else to play for and Manchester United has everything to play for and still bottled it.
Chelsea were unlucky not to win the game at halftime because they had a lot of chances but they didn't take them. This is why I said I wasn't impressed with Manchester United because if they played like that against Arsenal, Manchester City or Liverpool, that first half alone would have been 3-0 or 4-0 but tired and boring Chelsea couldn't punish this terrible Manchester United side.
Let me just put this to bed once and for all for those who think Ronaldo is the problem. Manchester United have always had older players that would help with experience over the years. We had it with the longevity of Giggs and Scholes... They will always come in and change the game because Ronaldo is a starter every time they think he is short-changing the team. How can that be when he is not only the highest goal scorer for this average team this season, he is the one that bails them out whenever they are in trouble.
He doesn't have the legs again, yes, but he has the legs to score, run and position himself for half chances. He has never been the type to chase the ball around but I noticed those criticisms got to him too and for over 5 games now, I noticed he has been marking and closing down opponents. He got his 17th league goal of the season and scored his first-ever Premier League goal against Chelsea. As old as he is, he is making history and that begs the question of what others are doing?
All I can see are lazy players who can't even run, press, understand basic positioning and even read the game. It's shocking because I don't even think they know what they are doing. It's shameful because they are not even fighting to show the fans that they are sad to be in this position. Three games to the end of the season and their season is already over like a team that has been condemned to relegation.
Their performance against Chelsea wasn't an improvement because Chelsea also played terribly even though they had more chances. Lukaku came in and I can't even understand what he did in the game since he was just a passerby. Manchester United always allow opponents enough space and they hardly close down on time which was what worked together for Chelsea that made Alonso blast home the first goal.
The season is over for Manchester United even before they finished playing all their games and no one can say they don't deserve to be in this position, especially with how terrible they have played this season. We can only hope next season would bring in some luck for everyone connected with the club next season since Erik Ten Hag would be taking the reigns.
Thank you for your time.

They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

I think it is certainly not an improvement and this draw not only leaves them out of the top four but also complicates their qualification for the Europa League as West Ham are 3 points behind with 1 game in hand and Wolves are 6 points behind with 2 games in hand, even so I think the result could have been worse, what worries me most is the lack of commitment of some players, Telles was really bad. I agree that Sancho for me would have had a better performance given the conditions of this game.
Absolutely... They were even lucky that Chelsea missed those chances and it was De Gea who stepped in too. It could have been worse. I don't even want them to qualify for Europe. They are useless. They lacked commitment.

When ex players in the studio are highlighting lazy players you know how bad things are with the team. This is why the team has never improved as supporters are blind to the fact a draw doesn't mean the team is now fixed.
Exactly. It doesn't even get us anywhere. Telles was lazy. Rashford didn't help out. Everyone played terribly except Ronaldo and De Gea and yet they were saying it was an improved performance. If not that Chelsea dropped form too, they would have scored 4 in the first half. I can't wait for the season to be over sir. It's mental torture 🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂
I just feel the results saved us from the lousy Chelsea fans we've got around 😂
Hahahaha that's a good one.
Yeah, trust me. 😂
🤣🤣😂😂
Time and again this team just finds new ways to be awful. There's clearly a lack of commitment on the side of the players. I dunno if it's about them giving up on the team before the expiration of the season or its just that they lack quality and the zeal to learn from their mistakes cos I don't understand how a team with these kind of renowned players can be this bad.
Personally I don't celebrate anything about them anymore and I think the only reason some people celebrated that draw was because it was against Chelsea and they did not give them the opportunity to brag.
I just hope Ten Hag will be given the opportunity to rebuild this team
To me, this season is over already and they should be ashamed to think draw against Chelsea is worth celebrating because if Chelsea weren't terrible too, they should have won by 4-0. I hope the new coach sells these dead woods and bring in his own players that would show others what it means to play for a coach and the team.
I hope so too.. And I also hope that the club will allow the coach all the leeway he needs to build a formidable team
That's the prayer.
Disappointing Chelsea won't be contending. Who do you think will take the title?
In all honesty, I don't see City losing the title. They would win. They have easy run-in compared to Liverpool. I doubt both of them would drop points.
The problem of Manchester United lies on the whole team at large, it seems the players were not ready to play football this season, from the back to the forward they are all terrible. Nobody should blame Ronaldo for this, he has done what a legend is expected to do. Thanks for the review.
No one has the right to even blame him because he did everything for this team. They are just terrible. They want the money and won't break a sweat. They are lazy lots.
Seeing Ronaldo defending most of the time in the matche .. Make sure that Manchester is a team that needs everything
He is always giving his best to that team. At 37, he is still making the difference.
Trust me as a man u fan I don't see it as an improvement. We have had these games all the time, we needed revamping even while Mourinho was winning titles and getting 2nd place
This team needs a serious revamp. They've become sore eyes to us the fans.
