Manchester United were lucky to draw at Bournemouth's home ground. I know Manchester United will struggled in that game, since they haven't defeat Bournemouth this season. Manchester United lost their first home meet with three goals without scoring any. We can only call this a lucky draw because Manchester united were able to level the score with the penalty awarded in the second half, otherwise, Manchester United would have lost yesterday. Manchester United conceded 20 shots in this game while they only has 8. Bournemouth are always ready to give their opponents a hard time at home, and Manchester United were lucky that they did not lose.

You didn't want Manchester United to win, they didn't lose, but they draw the game. Newcastle trashed Tottenham with a lot of goals to stay in the top six. With so many injured players, Newcastle defeated Tottenham. Newcastle now has the same number of points as Manchester United, but they have the advantage of goal differential, which allows them to sit in sixth place.

I think if we are talking about the best team in the Premier League, we should not consider Chelsea since we know they cannot achieve anything this season, we already know their position, which is either 10th or 11th. Manchester United will not be able to qualify for the next Europa, League because I believe Tottenham and Aston Villa will maintain their positions.

This is the main problem of Manchester United this season, they can show a great game against Liverpool, but in matches with Bournemouth or Brentford their performance will be very unconvincing. Chelsea, by the way, can even overtake Manchester United on goal difference if they win two games, because they have played two matches less than Manchester United. But this is not so important, since this season can be considered a failure for Manchester United and Chelsea.

I've always said that when Manchester United plays against big teams, they take their games very serious. After Manchester United played against Liverpool, you could tell that they were good players. I'm not sure what their problem is when they play weak teams, are they underestimating them or what? When Manchester United played Brentford, I believe some of their fans will not want to support them anymore because they performed like a team that cannot escape the relegation zone. Brentford put in a lot of pressure and dominated the game, Manchester united conceded 31 shots against Brentford while 20 against Bournemouth.

I don't think it's a good idea for Ten Hag's to subbed off Garnacho as soon as they returned for the second half, he was the only best player on their attacking line yesterday, he still went ahead and removed him, it would even better to remove Rashford because he's not in good form. Ten Hags must make some changes or else they will finish the season with no changes in their performance.
