MU: Failure to know who I am

The 0-7 defeat against Liverpool shows the harsh truth that MU is still just a team on the way to perfection and there is still a lot of work to do to regain its inherent position or further compete fairly. noble titles.


When I go with all my heart, when I come back with all my soul


Before the trip to Anfield, MU has probably never been so optimistic about the chance to win after many years. In recent seasons, the Red Devils are no longer themselves and are always placed in the bottom position when facing Liverpool.


But now, Ten Hag's MU is having a strong revival. A series of positive signals have appeared in recent times. In particular, typically the championship of the Carabao Cup 2022/23, ending 6 consecutive years of nothing.


Along with that, the Red Devils have a destructive form when they have only lost 1 match in all competitions since the beginning of 2023 despite facing many strong opponents. In the opposite direction, Liverpool is in serious decline in the 2022/23 season.

MU entered the match against Liverpool full of confidence after a series of positive achievements.


It is not clear if it was because of confidence after the recent positive performance that Ten Hag let MU enter before Liverpool with the right attitude of a top team. The Red Devils took control of the game, pushed up the squad and actively pressed from the side of the opponent's penalty area right after the opening whistle.


This is a completely different MU image when facing big teams over the years. Before that, the Red Devils often prioritized certainty, waiting for counterattack opportunities in nail games.


Then Ten Hag bitterly fell into the trap of old age from Jurgen Klopp. The tragedy that Liverpool created for MU lasted only from 43 minutes to 50 minutes.


The Kop accepts to shrink back to resist the pressure and just wait for the openings from the opponent to launch fatal attacks. Liverpool only launched 8 shots on target throughout the match but got 7 goals.


The key perhaps lies in the fact that MU revealed openings for the opponent to concede a goal at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, the extremely sensitive times of the match when it should have played most firmly.


Leading 0-3 from the 50th minute, the Red Devils were considered broken and no longer themselves. 4 goals later came as a matter of course.


Back to the ground


The last sublimation period of MU seems to be forgotten by many people: the Red Devils are still only in the process of completion.


Perhaps Ten Hag himself also realizes this harsh truth. The most embarrassing failure in his coaching career would have taught him many valuable lessons.


On taking office at MU, Ten Hag constantly cherished the goal of applying the attacking philosophy that brought him success at Ajax. However, that goal was soon delayed when the Dutch strategist admitted that the quality of MU's squad could not meet his football philosophy.


After a series of positive achievements over the past time, it seems that Ten Hag is wanting to once again let the students learn the football game they want. Looking at the way MU entered the game before Liverpool, that assumption is even more grounded. And then the bitter fruit came again.


MU is still in the process of finishing.


To be fair, the quality of the current MU squad has improved markedly compared to previous seasons. In addition, many names that were disappointing in the past are now strongly revived at the hands of Ten Hag. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Red Devils are one of the most powerful teams in Europe.


However, the problem at MU lies in the depth of the squad. There appears to be a huge disparity between the starting and subs. Then when the key elements were absent or more simply, many pillars showed signs of "out of battery", Ten Hag's machine immediately malfunctioned.


Obviously, a castle cannot be built overnight. Ten Hag has repeatedly admitted that he needs time to turn MU into a winning machine. And the recent defeat against Liverpool proved that fact.


It will be an uncomfortable feeling for MU when losing to an arch-rival 7 goals without removing. But this is not a disaster.


The Red Devils still have goals ahead of them for the rest of the season. But before thinking about those goals, Ten Hag and his students must quickly return to the ground after to know who they are and what their strength is if they do not want to plunge in the near future.
