The Manchester United fanbase will be left frustrated, angered, and potentially in disbelief at what they are seeing this season.
Last night’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea further damaged the reputation of Erik ten Hag, in what was yet another example of horrific game management.
By the 20th minute, the Red Devils were already two goals behind, but somehow, the score line was 2-2 at halftime, thanks to goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes.
Amazingly, the visitors completed the comeback in the 67th minute, with the Argentine scoring a brace, but all the hard work was undone with a last-ditch double from Cole Palmer, who scored in the 100th and 101st minute to pick up three points and take home the match ball.
The game was yet another one to forget for the majority in red on the field, with one player in particular even being worse than Diogo Dalot.
Diogo Dalot’s performance against Chelsea
On the whole this season, Dalot has been one of the most consistent performers for the Red Devils, with his continuous availability being extremely important amid the defensive injury crisis.
However, the Portuguese defender was way off the mark against Chelsea, playing as a left-back with the task of stopping the incredible Palmer.
In truth, the defender was rather solid in the first half, even setting up Fernandes’ equaliser with a delicious cross to the back post.
On the other hand, he was caught out a few times, as highlighted by his five fouls, with one of them being the most defining moment of the game, conceding a penalty with moments to go.
Overall, it was a night to forget for the 25-year-old, but he still wasn’t the worst individual on the field.
