Ten Hag’s on More Aggression
The Dutchman spoke about how his team lacked the aggressive display against Brighton, and he clamored for more. “We have to talk about how we act in a situation like that, Ten Hag said. There was more than one mistake on that occasion, and it had a big impact on the score. [I was] very disappointed. In the Community Shield, we conceded just before full-time. We should be more clinical in those situations, read the game, take the point, [and] if you can’t win. I thought we were close to winning the game, definitely don’t lose the game.”
“I’ve seen some good parts, and there were parts in the game; we should have had more control in the game, but there were good parts in the game. I’ve seen a lot of positives, but we have to be more clinical and aggressive in both boxes.”
Ten Hag on the Goals
Ten Hag refused to blame anyone on the goals scored, and also the offside error.
“We’re always looking for individuals to blame, but both goals are very soft goals and as a team, we should’ve done better, that’s for sure,” he spoke. We can bring this goal back, and explain it in detail and what should happen,” Ten Hag said. “Most important is we had an overload, we played very well, then it’s about getting the final pass, getting players in the right positions, getting the right finish, and doing everything we did well. It’s [just] misfortune.”
He also spoke about Mason Mount who was removed early in the 2nd half due to an injury “It was forced; he [said he had] an issue, and I didn’t want to take the risk with him. I don’t know how much [of a] worry it is at this moment. When we have a good bench, you can bring on Zirkzee, so [you] don’t hesitate and bring him off,” he said.
