Two joys and two worries! Cunha had an accident, Manchester United won and entered the top four. There is a huge difference between the two statistics.

The 12th round of the Premier League has completed the first day of the game. The two giants have fallen. For Manchester United, which has not yet started the game, they are two good gifts. If they defeat the team of predecessor Moyes, they can also rush into the Champions League. However, Manchester United's main player Cunha suffered an accident during training, and the specific situation is still waiting to be confirmed.

New coach Edwards, who has been with the Wolves four times and returned to coach the Wolves for the third time, did not usher in his first victory. He lost two goals to the dark horse Crystal Palace. The latter temporarily ranked fourth in the Premier League with one victory. Since both West Ham and Nottingham Forest have scored points, Wolves, with only 2 points, is 1 point away from the relegation zone, and the chance of relegation is still very high.

Dai Qi won his first league victory in the last round. He faced Liverpool in this round. Unexpectedly, he won a three-goal away victory, which made everyone shout surprise. The relegation expert has led the team out of the relegation zone and risen to 16th place. On the other hand, Liverpool's consecutive wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid will be just a return to the past. What did the "400 million yuan" in the summer actually get? Sloat, nicknamed the bonus coach by fans, the bell rang again.

Similarly, Manchester City, which started the game last, often loses when Haaland misses opportunities and fails to score. Manchester City lost to Newcastle in an away game and has been surpassed by Chelsea, falling to third place in the Premier League. If Arsenal can win the North London derby later, the gap at the top of the list can change from 4 points in the last round to 6 points again, and the championship dream of more than 20 years will be one step closer.

Of course, for the lower-ranked teams, Manchester City and Liverpool both lost, and Manchester United once again has the opportunity to hit the Champions League. In this round, Manchester United faces Everton at home. This is a team led by former coach Moyes. As long as they defeat their opponents, although they may not be ranked in the top four, at least in terms of points, Manchester United will definitely be ranked in the top four. They have missed the opportunity several times before. Will they miss it this time?

In fact, Manchester United's performance against Everton is quite good. In the past three seasons, Manchester United has met 7 times, with 6 wins and 1 draw. In the past 10 years, Manchester United has only lost twice. The first league victory led by Amorim was a four-goal victory over Everton. Moreover, this game happened to be the first anniversary of Amorim joining the team, which is quite meaningful.

After Manchester United received gifts from their opponents, they also had unpleasant news. It was originally planned that Cunha would participate in a Christmas lights lighting event, but it was canceled due to an accident during training. According to reports from reporters accompanying the team, Cunha had a head collision. Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he may not even miss the Everton game. Manchester United officials have not announced more details and need to wait.

Amorim believed in the press conference that Lima can return soon. Luke Shaw, who has performed well in the three backs before, can switch to wing back. The local media "Manchester Evening News" analyzed that such an approach is unwise and will increase Shaw's risk of injury. After all, Amorim also admitted that the load on the wing-back will be heavier and the body will have to withstand extreme pressure. However, in recent years, which position is Xiao less likely to get injured in? Would it be easier if he switches to the goalkeeper position?

In addition to Cunha’s concerns, there is another piece of data that is also cause for concern. Statistics show that Manchester United scored 11 goals in the first half, the most among all Premier League teams, but conceded 14 goals in the second half, the most among Premier League teams. There is a huge difference between the two data, which clearly reflects that Manchester United's follow-up ability is not strong. In the first half, they can often implement tactical ideas. The system created by Amorim has begun to bear fruit. However, in the second half, perhaps due to physical problems or lack of concentration, opportunities were often seized by opponents.

In the past two games, facing Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, Manchester United conceded consecutive goals in the second half and were reversed by their opponents. Finally, they relied on a late goal to achieve a difficult draw. Even in the defeats against Brighton and Liverpool, the opponents' goals in the second half almost gave away the victory.

This also fully shows that Amorim’s tactics require more running to support. Just look at Sporting CP in the past. All players ran tirelessly, so Jocles could score goals frequently. Led by the 33-year-old veteran Casemiro, the 31-year-old Fernandez is also facing a decline in physical fitness. It is indeed easy for Manchester United's midfielder to lose ground in the second half. Amorim's system, challenges and opportunities coexist, face Everton and see if the situation will improve.
