    Are Maguire, Lindelof, Evans, quick CBs to cover the oppositions runs in behind not to mention the absences of Martinez, Shaw, Malacia, Bissaka.
    Hence the reason a big gap in the midfield. Ten hag Cant play high press with these defenders, so the logical thing to do for the defenders is to stay back and guard the runs. And you cannot attack with just 4 players upfront these days you need the midfield joining in to build up play. Hence these gaps. If he gets the players he wants this summer and clears out some deadwood then we can better judge Ten hag style of play etc.

  • @JoeCalvert-cy5ix
    @JoeCalvert-cy5ix 10 месяцев назад +70

    Whilst I agree with a lot of your analysis I think that you’ve gone too hard on Man United and not dug Liverpool out enough. They were incredibly wasteful. They had 28 shots and only 7 on target. United’s midfield was nowhere to be seen, as you pointed out, and that meant Liverpool basically had a free run up to United’s 18-yard box on so many occasions and yet the two goals they scored were a corner and penalty. Awful in front of goal from them. There’s no way that side can continue being this complacent and sloppy and win the league. Neither Arsenal nor City would’ve let United have a sniff today. So poor from Liverpool.

    • @TheReaperiscominghome

      Finishing doesn’t relate to tactics though. The problem is man utd don’t create any chances. Although Liverpool were extremely wasteful they got themselves in strong goal scoring positions (7 strong chances). Liverpools problem today came down to individual players not being clinical.

    9:15 You didn't mention Casemiro, who is supposed to be the 6. He's up near Hojlund. For some reason (and maybe it's ETH's instruction), he loves to bomb forward knowing full-well that he doesn't have the legs to track back and he leaves absolute acres of space. He did the exact same thing against Chelsea time and time again and it was maddening.

  • @samtyrrell4488
    @samtyrrell4488 10 месяцев назад +15

    The biggest issue Liverpool had was they were given so many good options whenever they got the ball the player on the ball was not sure which one was the best. It was ridiculous, so easy to get to the 18 yard box but then you could shoot because of lack of press, space out wide players going through the middle, but what to choose.
    Then we'd go wrong or butcher the finish, but united just wanted to counter and they made us focus more when they parked the bus and tried hanging onto the 2-1 win. It became a tighter game for space but instead of too many options there was only one or two in and around the box.

    - never watched United before ETH took over.
    It's all recency bias, outcome bias and stats that don't mean anything.
    Guess what, high risk football is what all the top teams do.
    Guess what, with better players the gameplan works better.
    Guess what, Liverpool haven't beaten us this season.
    Guess what, we're playing 3 teenagers in this game.
    Guess what, before Klop, Pep and Arteta had some success people were saying EXACTLY the same things.
    I'm so frustrated with the analysis of United at the moment. It's like people are worried that we might be building something strong so they have to knock it down and try to pursuade us to go for Southgate.
    I've heard our game plan described as "hoof ball" and "kamikaze football" and also apparently when we went to Liverpool we "parked the bus"
    I am a United fan and what frustrates me is the nonsense spoken about our last 4 games.
    ETH is not keeping to the media script and defying expectations. People are just proper salty about it when we aren't even winning anything. Why? Because they care about us having a good manager?

  • @globalfrank9557
    @globalfrank9557 10 месяцев назад +4

    Totally agree with you about the tactical structure of this United team. We're constantly caught between a pressing front 5 and a low defensive block and it leaves massive gaps for opponents to counter into. However, I disagree with you that we're the luckiest team in the league. Injuries have decimated this squad, as I know it has for many other teams this season as well. Agree with the Cruyff quote but I also agree with the statement 'at the end of the season, the league table never lies'. This United team have won a lot of points this season from moments of individual quality. This doesn't make us lucky in my opinion but does mean we're unable to push on and create a sustainable way of winning games. We have got to do better.

      Yea I cannot fathom thinking we’re a lucky team. We have a penchant for scoring late goals, but that’s part of the clubs tradition… think it’s a little silly to call it luck. We’ve had inarguably the worst injuries of any team this year + Greenwood/Sancho were basically no longer options overnight for various reasons. Our squad has been decimated. Completely agree with his analysis though lol.

    • @CoconutJewce
      @CoconutJewce 10 месяцев назад +2

      We've certainly gotten points out of games due to worldies and moments of brilliance or McTominay somehow scoring a goal or two, but we've also been robbed out points, too. In the past 2 games, we've been robbed of 5 points due to a ref's/VAR mistakenly giving 3 pens that weren't pens. That's not luck or unluck.

    • @globalfrank9557
      @globalfrank9557 10 месяцев назад +1

      @henrybrown9562 100% mate. We aren't an overly lucky team, we're a poorly structured one with some quality players that can get you out of trouble. Can't do that for 38 games though. ten Hag has got to show something else for these last 8 or 9 games.

    60 injuries (most in prem history)
    31 different back lines used
    1st team used for 60 mins only
    But everyone is blaming eth for not beating everyone.
    Last 3 games we were leading goign into extra time. Yet the shit mentality and low iq from the player he has to play who are all backups make stupid mistakes.
    ETH is defo not immune to criticism but people have been on hos neck since day 2 with G nev and cara interrogating him after brentford in year 1. Ever since then the screaming has never stopped.
    I trust eth. Rather him then all the other managers available. The amount of players who have had their best season under eth is crazy. Rashford, wan bissaka, dalot, maguire, luke shaw all have had their best united season under ETH. Not only that he has been perfect with our youth. Bedding in garnacho for his nearly 40th consecutive start, mainoo killing it and kambwala looking really good.
    I mean ffs 4 of our players in the 1st team were under 21 and 3 players on the bench were under 21. He is great with the youth.
    More james united hating. This isnt ETH fault. Its the same shit every year for the last 6. No structure and the midfield does what it wants.

    When u talk about united there are things that should be discussed about the squad , the attitude of some players are disgusting.
    -Bruno always looks for a hollywood pass and does not keep the ball.
    - Rashford without goals is useless
    - Ageing backline and it's injury concerns
    -Casemiro almost lost his intensity
    - Wingers not looking for the striker.
    - Is it worth keeping McTominay for his goals or sell him for a proper midfielder.
    - Ten Hag's shocking substitutions and overdependence on flair players to somehow win the game.
    Unless there is a proper clear out this summer no manager can save this team.

With Harry in the back line the defence cannot step up. But ‘this is Man United’ so we aren’t allowed to sit in a low block owners, fans and definitely the loudest voices in the punditry and internet tacticos such as yourself (see analysis and punditry after 0-0 @ Anfield). Apart from United fans, only Loz is willing to point this out, why?
    In the summer just gone, Maguire accepts a pay cut to join West Ham (fee had been agreed), ETH can get a back up CB who fits the system, more in the mould of Martinez. There just wouldn’t be this nonsense narrative that a world class coach can’t coach.
