Watching Manchester United and Crystal Palace on Wednesday, I noticed that they didn't underrate Crystal Palace in any way, they played from the beginning to the end but goal later come for Crystal Palace in an unexpected time, even some Manchester United fans might have switch off their television or leave football viewing center when the goal came in in 90+1 minutes with free kick that Michel Olise took. In the first half of the match, Crystal Palace have only one shot on target (the one that David Degea saved with his last finger) but in the second half towards the match end, they later had more shot on target more than Manchester United and i noticed that Manchester United played well but their targets are poor.
I noticed that Manchester United attacking midfielders leave marking for their defensive midfielders, apart from the yellow card that Casemiro was given when he went to foul Wilfred Saha in that match, such things happened in the past, and it is very obvious that he wasn't happy with Bruno Fernandez with the way that he looked at him after the foul he committed which lead to yellow card that won't make him participate against Arsenal this coming weekend because Bruno Fernandez is the one that's suppose to mark Saha but he let Saha go and Casemiro could not watch him go.

The only thing Manchester United attacking midfielders did is to attack and once they loose ball to Crystal Palace, the only person that was stopping them is Casemiro and this gave him chance to attack when Casemiro collected yellow card as he couldn't mark hard again to avoid second yellow card and red card and apart from that, only Casemiro can't stop 4 midfielders and that is why the Manchester United fans put blame on Eric Ten Hag (Manchester United coach) that he shouldn't have play Casemiro since they have Arsenal to play against on Sunday but I didn't blame coach for playing Casemiro because they can't underrate Crystal Palace and bench players for Arsenal, what if they loose to Crystal Palace and still loose to Arsenal.
But Eric Ten Hag should have substitute Eric Ten Hag when he introduced Garnacho and Mac Tominay, so I think he did wrong substitution but it's just that Crystal Palace was having upper hand when he made the substitution, so taking out Casemiro that gives Crystal Palace tough time in the midfield is still risk in order to secure the three points, even those that run commentary said this but it doesn't mean that they know better than the coach but if Casemiro has been substituted or not used at all, Crystal Palace may win the match because there were dirty jobs that he did in that match which saved Manchester United from loss to Crystal Palace.
Playing draw and thinking that is unbeaten is a waste of time, if you can win 2 matches in four matches, that's 6 points, playing four draw is just 4 points, so I hate draw matches, maybe that was why Eric Ten Hag left Casemiro at field to play full match so as to secure 3 points was that. Weihort that Manchester United introduced for the first time didn't have anything special than hight and the only time that he used the hight was first half, when Luke Shaw made a cross, so the player need more lesson because he's just an option for them in terms of heading, he need to be good with foot work if he would make it to first team
