Well the fact still remains that Manchester United is indeed suffering from players and for that their substitution is weak and highly dependable on the pitch players which make the players to become more weak while still on the pitch and being unable to have a fitting replacement for them if any injury comes up, this have made the club to suffer a lot of setbacks.
Although the club should have made used of the last transfer windows to get on board some energetic young players who can deliver more goals for the club and be able to sustain their future competition.
I think the Manchester United if ask aside the unforeseen circumstances of numerous injuries that has affected them due to lack of a senior doctor in the club they have a decent squad, in almost every position Manchester United have Atleast two to three players, except the striking role which is also been occupied by Martial and Hojlund. If they are all fit and available then Ten Hag doesn’t seems to have any excuses. He also has youngsters like gore, Mejbri, Pellisteri and Gernacho to call up to when this crisis persist. Right now united cannot sign more players until they sell because of financial fair play. This is why even Amrabat deal was a loan move for now.
I expected Brighton to win this game or in a worse case get a draw but then Chelsea proved me wrong that they could do better,. although it was such that I would call a narrow escape because any further move by Brighton would have denied Chelsea of a win and probably given Brighton a draw, it was a fair game as both sides did their best but the better side won
A win is a win but i would say Brighton actually fielded in a weaker starting line than their usual line up, Chelsea also changed there to formation with the likes of Enzo missing out. But definitely a great win for Chelsea, if it was before this competition looks more like just a cup match to Chelsea but with the state of the team i would say they needed this win and if possible should build on it more and plan on scooping this competition home. Nothing gives a struggling team a relief than having a cup win against a team which looks better than yours. Hopefully they would replicate this form to the league but they will be without their striker and Gutso the right back due to suspension. This suspension will give the likes of Broja and Cucurella the chance to impress the manager. Cucurella was used today at the right back position and it seems he would get a nod there at the weekend as no senior right back is available.
