But, you cannot give it away like we did and we have to manage this game better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a team performance, you can point to one of the players but it\u2019s about a team performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it gets chaotic you have to deal with it as a team and we made the wrong decisions and we didn\u2019t help out as a team. Out of possession we made bad decision \u2013 a lack of concentration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, I think lucky at the end with the penalty situation, questionable and very soft but we have to do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_amjz5dlnv\">Ten Hag: Dropping points is unacceptable<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01htprbd5eza5f5c5d2d.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Erik ten Hag embraces Alejandro Garnacho after substituting the Argentine against Chelsea\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>United had taken the lead thanks to Garnacho\u2019s brace \/ Marc Atkins\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<p>Speaking later to\u00a0<em>BBC Sport,<\/em>\u00a0Ten Hag continued to highlight\u2019s dominance of the game but admitted that the number of points dropped is \u201cunacceptable\u201d for a team of United\u2019s calibre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was for the neutral an amazing game.
