“They don’t deserve to beat Man United” – Erik ten Hag reveals what helped Chelsea to beat Man United
Chelsea’s 4-3 victory over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night, according to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, was fortunate.
Erik ten Hag stated that Manchester United was outstanding against Chelsea and that they should have won the match at Stamford Bridge.
Erik ten Hag said: “Yes we started poor, kicking the ball away and defending poorly.
“But you saw we were dominating the game and it was brilliant how we played – we deserved to win the game.
“But, you cannot give it away like we did and we have to manage this game better. It is a team performance, you can point to one of the players but it is about team performance.
“When it gets chaotic you have to deal with it as a team and we made the wrong decisions and we didn’t help out as a team. Out of possession we made bad decision – a lack of concentration.
“Also, I think unlucky at the end with the penalty situation, questionable and very soft but we have to do better.”
Erik ten Hag’s claims that Manchester United deserved to beat Chelsea because they dominated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are indeed laughable.
Chelsea dominated possession (57%) against Manchester United and also had more shots (28 shots) with Manchester United having 19 shots.
The xG from the game also shows Chelsea were deserved winners as Chelsea had a xG of 2.82 compared to Manchester United’s xG of 1.54.
It’s obvious Erik ten Hag watched another game and not the game at Stamford Bridge.
