At Old Trafford against Championship side Middlesbrough, Manchester United's bombing lost its direction, C Ronaldo lost points, Bruno Fernandez missed the goal, and finally fought overtime, the penalty was lost to the opponent, losing hope of winning the FA Cup this season.
In the game, Manchester United occupies the absolute initiative, the full possession rate is as high as 71%, the shooting ratio is 30 to 6, such a data comparison, but in the end, it is a draw, there is no doubt that Manchester United encountered a "system bureau".
But the "System Bureau" is not the whole problem of United, after all, this team has long lost the belief in indomitable progress.
Manchester United strikers are collectively mute
In addition, the collective dud of the Manchester United striker group is also a very embarrassing reality, C Ronaldo, Rashford, Bruno Fernandez have scored as many as 22 shots in the whole game, but they are unable to break the opponent's goal, which also reflects the poor foot feeling of the three players.
Coupled with Anthony Martial's departure on loan, Greenwood waiting for jail, Cavani's physical need to recover, and Jesse Lingard's conflict with Lonnick has become public, and Manchester United's once huge striker group is one of the few who can use it.
Lonnick replaced Erlanga in the 82nd minute and Juan Juan Mata in the 100th minute, both of which did little to help the United situation.
Henderson, who was obsessed with playing, finally got the FA Cup start, but the real situation may mean that this is his last game of the season, because the future of Manchester United only has the league and the Champions League left.
Pogba's comeback also didn't show much either
In a variety of complicated and severe circumstances, Lonnick did not end up replacing Mebri, who was called to the first team, and United made a huge mistake with a nearly all-main squad.
This is the dilemma of Manchester United today, whenever people think that the team is going to get better, they must collapse once to show the fans, since the retirement of Ferguson, Manchester United seems to have been in such a cycle, non-stop, lamentable.
Premier League News: A single substitution quota or fixed to 5 people, will the Premier League change?
Media TA broke the news: On March 3, FIFA will discuss some football rules, in which the 5 substitution system quoted in most regions may be retained.
The main reason is that under the epidemic situation, there are different postponements or intensive events in various regional leagues, which has increased the number of injuries among players, and FIFA hopes to ensure the health of more players and alleviate the pressure on some teams through such changes.
Tuchel has criticized the Premier League substitution system
However, it should be noted that the Premier League is still three substitutions in a single game, which was voted by 20 teams in the Premier League's meeting at the beginning of the season, because some middle and lower teams believe that more substitutions will benefit the giants and clubs with large squads to get more opportunities in the game.
So even though there are many coaches who have publicly criticised the system, the Premier League has not changed.
If FIFA passes a substitution resolution, the future Premier League will inevitably change with the change of policy, more players can get the opportunity to play, more players, can reduce the appearance of injuries, especially in the Christmas Express, this system will not be less helpful to the Premier League.
For Chelsea, ta fully informed the players of their contract years:
Chelsea are facing a wave of contract extensions
In addition to what we know well, the contracts of three important defenders this year are about to expire, and next year's Chelsea will also have difficulties, and the three main players of Kante, Jorginho and his sister-in-law will also expire.
The amount of a player's renewal of annual salary is mostly related to three aspects, such as what is the annual salary of one teammate, whether the performance of the second team is stable, and whether there are other teams eager to get the player.
Chelsea's current situation is somewhat related to three aspects, such as Rudiger, who believes that his teammates in the German team: Havertz and Werner are too paid too much a year, higher than after their contract extensions, and in terms of performance, they are not worse than them.
At the same time, Rudiger is also the cornerstone player for Chelsea to win the Champions League, so why not think of a big contract?
In addition, Rudiger has many competitors outside Chelsea, which is where Rudiger's delay in renewing his contract with the Blues lies.
But it should be noted that Chelsea's group of players, most of whom are around thirty years old, and only Christensen is younger, which will make the team's contract renewal work more difficult, and the renewal means that the long-term investment in the future is smashed on the veteran, and it will face many difficulties to replace the generation, but letting it go for free will make the team property lose significantly.
Kante is now Chelsea's top salary
It is no wonder that today's giants, when renewing their contracts with veterans, most of them will make some moths, and at this time next year, can Chelsea complete the renewal with N'Golo Kante?
Conclusion: Fa Cup full battle, Premier League return!
With Manchester United out, there are only 13 Premier League teams left, and at least 3 other teams will be eliminated in the next two days, which may be the least "overstuff" year in the FA Cup in the past three years.

Today, Chelsea, West Ham United and Manchester City will lead the game, of which Chelsea will face Plymouth, who is 7th in League One, West Ham United will face The League team Kidderminster, and Manchester City will face the top of the Championship table.
