MU’s performance against Crystal Palace caused a lot of sadness for “Red Devils” fans. Coach Ten Hag’s team proved too weak in the face of the extremely strong desire to win from host Crystal Palace. Therefore, although MU losing 0-4 was truly shocking, the result truly reflected what happened during 90 minutes.
Disappointment surrounds coach Ten Hag
After the match, coach Ten Hag said the reason why MU lost to Crystal Palace so easily: “Everyone saw that MU’s defense had huge problems. The players should have done better.
The coaching staff has given clear instructions for defense. But the players cannot do everything they are told. That caused us to be constantly attacked by the enemy. MU defended very poorly in this match”.
Casemiro had a forgettable match. However, coach Ten Hag does not want to blame the Brazilian midfielder alone: “You cannot criticize Casemiro alone. This is a bad performance by the whole team. As in the first goal, it was a system error. The system and the entire team must take responsibility.
MU has big problems. We have to sit back, acknowledge and resolve mistakes. MU should have done better”.
Coach Ten Hag’s hot seat was seriously shaken after the loss to Crystal Palace. But the Dutch strategist is not worried at all:
“I am still the right person to lead MU now. I don’t think about the distant future. I try to have the best preparation possible for MU.
Of course we have many problems. My only focus is on finding ways to help the whole team improve.”
MU appeared to be at a disadvantage in the race to win tickets to the European Cup after losing to Crystal Palace. “The Red Devils” only have 54 points and are ranked 8th on the Premier League rankings.
