Man Utd toothless without an attacker
The only attacker to start games in winning 2-0 Crystal Palace compared to Manchester United at Old Trafford, both goals are achieved. Jean-Philippe Mateta showed what can make the right center for the center – and what Ruben Amorim's side continues barely missing.
There are numerous issues in the united backs that cannot create, veterans surpassed and derogatory bonds, but was the form of Kobbie Mainoo, which was an obvious contrast on Sunday between two teams on Sunday.
A teenage out of position early had their moments. He set a good chance for Alejandro Garnacho, then picked his post. But that was it. The problem that Mateta caused defenders at the other end of the field was a different thing.
United just looks no teeth. It is 16 games since they led in half. The only first degree goal that achieved in the last 14 in all competitions was the penalty of Bruno Fernandes in the defeat for Brighton. On this occasion, the other half was probably worse.
What is the decision to go with Mainoo says about Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee is a question for guessing. But they both fought when they came in, looking completely deprived of confidence. United LYP ON, but they are still a solid watch.
There is little evidence suggesting that someone was left in the club, given the departure of Marcus Rashford, he has a pedigree to change things. Then to the transfer market? Speaking after that, Amorim seems more worried about throwing good money after bad.
“We are trying to improve the team, without doing the mistakes of the past, trying to balance the urgency of the moment.” UNITED needs help. But the question is not just if I can afford a real attacker. This is whether I can really afford to wait.

Spence stands out for counting in front of Salah Test
Santa Sence withdraw. Defender Tottenham, playing from the position on the left, did a good job on Sunday Marshal Bryan Mbeumo. Next up? Mohamed Salah.
The statistics show that he won eight of his 10 duels in Gtech and no one won more solving in Spurs T-shirt. Impressive. But there were other moments that made a difference – how he used his strength to shoulder bee as from the ball to win the throwing, not to pick up, not to recover rather than recover rather than recovering And not transverse to speed up the charge down those sides …
After being unfit in the middle and injured against Leicester, this was a timely return to the team – and the progress of Pursu return was underlined.
“He was outstanding since he entered the team,” After that, Postecoglou said. “Likes a challenge for downloading Elite. He is especially here, especially here. You can see that he loves that challenge. It was another reason that we kept Micky (Van de Ven). It will be important for us until the fate returns.”
It will definitely be important on Thursday, in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup in Liverpool when it must contain the top artist this season, Salah …

No home benefits at the moment for Brentford
Brentford Fortress was won more than usual weeks – they are now without winning six at home in all competitions, with their losses to lower their fifth defeat in that escape.
Perhaps early start on Sunday is not ideal for creating an intimidation atmosphere, but from best to keep the best home record in the league, Brentford fought in West London late.
The forest, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool, were in that run, so that they faced the heavier opposition – but this weekend Thomas Frank will be experienced about how he failed to make long spurs in the final number of Spurs.
Thirty-seven crosses, 48 touches in the box and 2,29xg is added to nothing.
In addition, the days against West Ham and Leicester and Frank will hope for a positive return from those schedules to use their next home play, and return to the selection of important points on your HQ.

'No one does better than Jean-Philippe Mateta'
If you were asked football fans a year ago, whether Jean-Philippe Mateta was one of the best attackers in the Premier League, would simply laugh and named the fool.
His climb under Oliver Voice is phenomenal. Manchester United can want only an attacker who possesses such power, athleting and ruthless abilities of goals. He makes the defenders to take his movement and his reception force when he fully see – as his jaws of 80 courtyards, on the second half in the first half in the first half, where he left four united defenders in his vigilance.
Mateta two goals at Old Trafford took him a fight from 23. February last year on 23 goals. Only Aleksandar Isak, Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer and Erling Haaland scored more. Among the company is now.
