The Red Devils in Dilemma can still block the Blues!

Saturday 027 Premier League round 5

[14] Manchester United vs. Chelsea[5]

Time: September 21 00:30

Red Devils vs. Blues, this is one of the focus of the Premier League tonight. In the first four rounds, Manchester United won 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses, Chelsea won 2 draws, and the Blues had a better record, which also made them a more optimistic side at the index level, which is not an exaggeration. However, can the Blues really take 3 points away from Old Trafford?

This is the 198th confrontation between the two sides. Manchester United had an advantage in 83 wins, 58 draws and 57 losses, but Chelsea has remained unbeaten in the last three matches, 2 wins and 1 draw. However, at Old Trafford, even when Ferguson retires and Manchester United falls into endless chaos and reconstruction, Chelsea cannot take advantage. They have lost to Manchester United for 12 consecutive seasons away, with a record of 7 draws and 5 losses. In Dream Theater, the Blues always seem to be unable to find their direction.

Last weekend, Manchester United just lost the derby game and lost 0-3. Coach Amorim was once again criticized as a hot topic, but the Portuguese still had a firm attitude and refused to change their football philosophy, saying, "If the club is not satisfied with me, they can let me go."

I really don't know where the Portuguese confidence comes from. With his record, it is rare for Manchester United to keep holding on and not let him get out. Since taking office in November last year, he has won 8 wins, 7 draws and 16 losses in 31 leagues, only 31 points. Except for those three relegated teams, other Premier League teams have scored more points than him during the same period. The winning rate of 36.7% is even the worst among Manchester United head coaches since World War II. It is rumored that some players have increasingly strong opinions about him, including captain B. Fei, who was forced to retreat by him, but the club has not taken action. It is said that he will wait until he has been coaching for one year in November before considering taking action, because according to the contract, if he is fired after a year, the club can save tens of millions of compensation.

Fortunately, the Red Devil, who is leaking everywhere, is still quite good news this week. Forward Cunia, who missed international match day and last round of derby due to injury, has a chance to return, wingback Dalot has basically recovered, and even central defender Lima has resumed training, but it may take time for the Argentine to make a formal comeback. If Cunya can make a comeback, he will play as a double midfielder with another new player Mbeumo to support Sheshko or Zilkize, Manchester United's offense can still be looked forward to. There is a data that is also interesting. They have completed a total of 94 shots in the past four Premier League home games, with at least 20+ shots in each game, which shows how much it is.

also mentioned before that the biggest key to Manchester United's continued sluggishness is defense. There are not many goalkeepers qualified at the back line. After sending Onana away, Amorim should officially consider removing his chin Indel. The Turkish goalkeeper feels that he is really not worthy of the giants, and even in the mid-range team, he may not have the ability to play the main players. I still don’t understand why they didn’t try their best to defeat Villa goalkeeper Martinez at the last moment, but Belgian goalkeeper Ramons, who was signed by buzzer, is said to have been recognized in the team’s training. It seems that they can be expected. No matter how bad they are, it will probably not be worse. Even if it is a change of luck, it may not be necessary.

Chelsea was not very good after entering September. It was tied by Brentford at the last moment of last weekend, and lost 1-3 away to Bayern in the mid-week Champions League. There is good news. The offensive core Palmer scored consecutive goals after returning from injury. He also completed 100 games in the Blues in the middle of the week. Since his debut in September 2023, he has completed 45 goals and 28 assists for the Blues, directly creating 73 goals. During the same period, the Premier League teams were second only to Salah (97 goals) and Haaland (85 goals).

However, some of the coach Maresca's sexy actions are really incomprehensible. In the midweek Champions League, everyone knew that the game was difficult to play, but he still had to break the rules and let captain Reese James play a guest midfielder and push Enzo to the front midfielder. But right-back Gustto has long been proven to have limited ability, which has once again scored a low overall goal. I really don’t know how Maresca will arrange it when I go to Old Trafford tonight.

In addition, the striker Joao Pedro, who started the highlight after joining the franchise, was pushed to the arrow position after center Drapp was injured, and his effect was obviously worse. His best position seems to be a shadow striker, and his power has decreased directly in front of the opponent. However, after the Blues sold Jackson, most of the attacking wingers were attacking, and there were few serious centers. These are the problems that Maresca needs to solve.

The current index has even supported the Blues to make concessions away, which is a bit like taking your life while you are sick, but Old Trafford is really not a blessing for the Blues. I feel that they can't take 3 points away. Focus on the score 1 to 1.
