Brighton are one of the teams i have been interested in and sympathetic to for the last two years and even when they lose, they fight hard to win but in this game they were very ineffective in the first half. It's not easy to make a habit of success and heavy defeats can be demoralizing. For me this was one of the most enjoyable games between the most entertaining teams in the league. Watkins played very well and Matty Cash was also very effective. If Brighton had been able to break through Aston Villa's tough defense, this game would have ended very differently.
However, it must be admitted that Aston Villa played very well and they deserved to win in this match, despite Brighton's poor performance, however, that had reasons and reasons, namely because Aston Villa were much better so the Brighton team could not develop their game.
This big defeat is quite unfortunate and I also hope that this result will not have any impact on Brighton's next match.
Ten Hag was supposed to make an evaluation. Man United competed against Crystal Palace 2 times with the result being 1 win and 1 loss. They played without Rashford and Bruno during the Carabao Cup, but somehow they were able to play freely and their rhythm looked good. Meanwhile, in the Premier League match, Bruno and Rashford were again the main choices in the first team, even though they dominated the match but their rhythm looked monotonous. In my eyes, Man United performed better without Bruno and Rashford.
Why do you only look at the Manchester United team in the last 2 matches between these two teams, in fact we have a different possibility as to why Manchester United could lose even though in the match a few days earlier against Crystal Palace they could also win, I think it's because the Crystal Palace team play with different strengths.
Ten Hag cannot be completely blamed because the Manchester United team's situation is very bad right now, Ten Hag doesn't have many choices because many Man United players are injured.
