Manchester United's inconsistency is getting out of hand. Manchester United players are just playing as people who are not paid to play football. Tottenham was better than Manchester United yesterday and Machester was just lucky to get a draw because Tottenham failed to score more goals in the second half.
The problem with Manchester united is that once they score first and take the lead, they feel relax and take a step back. They don't maintain the pressure and remain consistent. It's very embarrassing how Tottenham who are missing about five of their first eleven play Manchester united off the park at home. Very surprising ETH hasn't learned from the previous matches because United tactics is still very poor and there is no style of play at all. Back to mid table again.
Rashford as usual can not stop being selfish, he's not a team player and his selfishness is costing Manchester united in most of the games. ETH should also choose a new captain because Bruno is not mature enough to lead this team with his constant temper in the field and can not remain focus to play his game. A draw was actually a positive result in that match considering their performance especially in the second half.
I am not sure if this is a problem with them taking the lead and then believing they can relax. I think they basically have a big problem to play a full game on a consistently high level. But I said this before, this is not a problem with the abilities of their players. They are good enough and in the strong times they can compete with everyone in the Premier League. But they do not work as a unit for the whole game. Several players have a decreasing performance during the same and then other players become weaker. It is like a chain reaction and they lose control. In most cases this gets punished.
It is a problem that ten Hag is responsible for and considering for how long there have been discussions about him, I think he has had enough time now to form a unit out of the players he has that is able to compete for the top four. But he failed to do that.
