Manchester United hit a new low point, and Eriksen admits, “We weren’t in it.”
Christian Eriksen was forthright in his analysis of Manchester United’s 4-0 Premier League loss to Crystal Palace on Monday night.
The veteran Dane said after a humiliating loss that seriously jeopardises our chances of making it to European competition.
rank eighteenth That night, United were defeated by more than just Palace. We lost badly, and their new manager, Oliver Glasner, discovered mistakes in our play.
No one wearing a white jersey delivered the performance that was expected, and Eriksen agreed that United players would “take the blame” for the disaster in south London. Anyone paying attention to the game could see it.
Eriksen expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation. We weren’t in it; it was simply a bad day for us. Everything is how it is. Things related to injuries are beyond our control. We need to make every effort on the field to alter the situation. Today, our opponent was irrelevant. We could have all performed better. To be honest, I have no idea how it all turned out. Neither of us was adequate. We gave it our all, but our efforts were in vain. “As players, we will take the blame.”
When United defender Rio Ferdinand used to social media to criticise Casemiro’s ill-advised tackle, Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise put his team ahead.
Jean-Philippe Mateta increased the Eagles’ advantage, and Tyrick Mitchell extended it to three goals in the second half. Another Casemiro mistake allowed Palace to score, and Olise capped off a brace with a spectacular strike to make the score 4-0.
Tonight, United were without club captain Bruno Fernandes owing to an injury, adding to the more than 60 ailments the club has documented. That isn’t an excuse, but it’s common knowledge that Fernandes is our attack spark plug.
After losing 4-0 against Palace, United became the first Premier League team to ever lose 13 games in a season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick tied the record established in 2013–14 with 12 goals in the 2021–22 season. David Moyes had previously held the record.
