Analysis of the performance of giants in the first two rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal is at ease, Manchester United is too sluggish in the two rounds

The Premier League has always attracted the attention of fans around the world with fierce competition and high-level duels. After only two rounds of the game this season, the performance of the giant teams has begun to appear, and the standings are also showing some remarkable trends. Currently, three teams have maintained a complete victory in the opening stage. Arsenal has won both games with excellent tactical execution and player performance, temporarily ranking first in the standings. Tottenham and Liverpool both ranked second and third with 6 points, and the former ranked second with goal difference.

It must be admitted that Arsenal has a lot of firepower on the offensive end and cooperates with offensive players to create a large number of threatening offensive opportunities; the defensive end is also relatively stable, and the players on the back line cooperate closely, successfully blocking the opponent's multiple attacks. Tottenham also performed well, surprised the heroes with their two consecutive victories. After all, the sluggishness of last season and the instability of the preseason, it is hard for anyone to think that Tottenham will win a row in the league. The tactical deployment of Tottenham Hotspur coach is better than that of Manchester City coach. The team has shown better tactical qualities in the new season, with balanced performance on both offense and defense. The addition of new players has also injected new vitality into the team. Liverpool achieved two consecutive victories with its strong lineup. The team's advantages are high-pressure pressing, sharp offense and tough defense. The team's first two rounds of opponents were Bournemouth and Newcastle, which was slightly inferior to Tottenham's opponents.

in the 4/5/6th position in the standings are Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City. Chelsea has made a series of lineup adjustments in the new season. Although they are still running into the lineup at the beginning, they have shown strong potential. As the game deepens, they are expected to go further in the standings. The Forest team performed well in these two rounds of games, causing a lot of trouble for other giant teams and showing a dark horse posture. As a traditional strong team in the Premier League, Manchester City currently ranks sixth, but the team's loss to Tottenham has exposed its shortcomings, and its luxurious lineup and tactical system still needs to be adjusted.

However, as one of the traditional big6s, Manchester United has scored only 1 point in two rounds and is currently ranked 16th in the standings, with a disappointing performance. Manchester United exposed many problems in these two rounds of games, lacking enough creativity and efficiency on the offensive end, and forward players lack the ability to seize opportunities and cannot create enough threats to opponents' goals. There are also many loopholes on the defensive end, and there are obvious problems with the cooperation between the players on the back line, and many mistakes have caused the goal to be lost. The team is not determined enough in tactical execution, and lacks effective response strategies when facing different opponents. This series of problems has caused Manchester United to fall into trouble at the beginning of the new season and urgently need adjustments and improvements. Overall, the performance of the giant teams in the first two rounds of the Premier League is quite different. Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are more stable. The deep problem of Manchester United's two-round defeat is that the creativity crisis on the offensive end is particularly dazzling. The forward team failed to contribute to sports goals in two consecutive games, and the midfield core B paid averaging only 1.5 key passes per game, down nearly 40% from last season. Although the team averaged 13 shots per game, the effective shot rate in the penalty area was less than 25%, exposing the shortcomings of the lack of precise ending ability in the attacking stage. What is even more fatal is the lack of offensive layering. When the opponent shrinks the defense line, Manchester United does not have the sharpness of the winger cutting in, nor does it lack the impact of the midfield back row. The offense often stagnates at the front of the opponent's penalty area. The collapse of the defensive system is also shocking. Manchester United was scored 32 shots by their opponents in two games, conceding 1.5 goals per game, ranking last in the Premier League big6. The central defender group frequently made mistakes in cooperation, and even had funny scenes of two people grabbing the same player at the same time in the game against the strong team. The players in the full-back position have too high defense, which has led to their repeated use by their opponents behind them, and the problem of offense and defense imbalance is more obvious. Manchester United's overall defensive formation lacks compactness, and there is often a huge gap between the midfield and the defense line, allowing the opponent to easily pass and cut. The chaos in

tactic command exacerbated the team's plight. The coach tried two formations in two games, but never found a rhythm that suited the team. When the game is deadlocked, the coach's substitution adjustments often lack targeting, which further reduces the team's midfield control. In addition, the tactics emphasized by the coach have dropped sharply this season, and the players' enthusiasm for pressing is obviously insufficient, and the number of times they regained the ball per game has decreased by 12 times compared to last season, which makes it difficult for the team to create offensive opportunities through oppression.
