Antony on the left seems like a no brainer, considering we're missing left footed players on that side. And yeah Dalot is much much better on the right, better decision making IMO
As you know, Mazroui is a versatile player but a player like yoro is a young gun and we certainly can not change his position to LCB as a very experienced player (i.e. Salah) will be there that will be a threatning area for Man United. So leni should keep his position so as Mazroui as we he can play as a LCB. Waiting for your valuable insight😊
The problem most times is not what should Amorim do cuz i think we all already understood what he wants to do and what fits better. the problem is having everyone fit, ready to play and have the quality for it. people all saying Amorim was naive with that midfield against Newcastle, but we can all talk from the outside that it was a mistake but we dont know if Mainoo is fit enough for 90 mins yet. we all know what the starting 11 in theory should be, but none of us are physios to know when and how long show certain players play. we all just assume all are 100 fit and ready for 90 mins. until we have a actually balanced squad (depth and quality), we barely will see THE starting 11 we want
it was naive though why would you play 2 ageing midfielders against Newcastle's 3 and compound it further by playing a STRIKER at 10 and expect him to support and have he positioning to support that midfield. it was bonkers he rectified it but in doing so furthered the agenda against zirkzee. it was a bad day at the office.
if i was playing liverpool next and with 2 important players missing, i wouldn't sacrifice my young players especially with one who just came out of injury. it is obvious he had no choice and used the available clearly lacking players.
Spot on @manchester United Come see this I’ve said it before that the formation vs Everton has been our best formation. Amad as a RB and that yoro position is good 👍
I'm dreaming even bigger... Would love us to bring in 3 wing backs. At least 2. Apart from Amad - who's really still learning the position - we have bobody who's able to really fit the wing back role. An experienced starter is needed plus Patrick Dorgu as a utility player, who can play on the left & right and cover LCB, too. Kerkez is exciting, but there are a few LWBs I'd be happy with as experienced options. But Dorgu is almost a must as well, as he's able to cover a lot of positions.
the truth is we need to stop the pro bias and negative agendas about certain players. the 3 cbs need to be yoro de light and maz. the better defenders and the most comfortable on the ball with the required physicality. maguire and de light are similar in terms of physicality but maguire is far more prone to mistakes. maz provides the same or even greater ball playing martinez supposedly gives us (despite taking more time on the ball with touches and executing passes). Even the WB positions dalot is the best of terrible options at LWB and whilst he isn't performing the best the facts are he's still progressing, the play keeping possession. Its not constant but a few times each game he's beating his marker outside and crossing with his left foot. however i think many are missing or not valuing how often through him we have got the ball into the final third and with short passes has got our left 10 the ball to feet CONSITENTLY in the inside left channel in our just outside the box. (the fact bruno waste those positions and possession is being overlooked) what more do you want from a defensive right full back playing out of position. At RWB it needs to be anthony, i appreciate amad played well there initially but the lack of quality, technical security and decision making in our forwards mean he has to start at the 10 or our forward line just doesn't have the fundamentals to attack cohesively with creativity. Id argue that amads subdued moments in the 10 come from the lack of attacking impetuous when maz plays at RWB, every time anthony has been introduced amad an the whole right sides performances have improved. The agenda is that anthonys a terrible player but frankly his fundamentals are better than the majority of the squad, good touch dribbling and passing and a good engine, the synergy between maz anthony and amad is the way forward. Ugarte is performing well in the midfield i just don't know why casemiro isnt playing with him. Case is the best option in there with him, hes brazillian flair comes out in his passing both short and long being invetive whilst sometimes way ward, but hes defensivley aware and gives us more physiciality with his prescnce in both boxes from set pieces and he wins his duels. Mainoo needs to stop being mis profilled and played in the CM hes an attacker before ETH he never played midfield he was a 10 a winger and striker in the youth teams. Even in the first team hes best performances think wolves and liverpool last season have been when he's in the final third with excellent dribbling strong decision making cute passes , press resistance and sharp precise shooting . He is learning the midfield position so doesn't have the awareness and positioning to a level yet and lacks the acceleration you need in a 2 man midfield. mainoo needs to play left 10.... BUT bruno is starting there sticking up the place with poor crossing passing shooting and carelessness. The manager openly said in his first few press conferences bruno cant play on the half turn or back to goal yet he persists with him in the 10 were our attacks die. because hes there mainoo is pushed into midfield because at least he can be trusted to not surrender possesion so cheaply which is more dangerous the closer we are to goal so mainoo is wasted in CM and Bruno wastes our posession in the final third AND HE DOESNT WIN ANY DUELS DESPITE RUNNING AROUND EVERYWHERE. Finally the pro hojland nonsense needs to stop, hes rubbish no hold up play, no iq poor runs, poor touch and no threat. Hes made no improvmens since last year where he didnt score a leauge goal for 18 games, yet people rubbish zirkzee in his first few months and the manager persists with hojland. Zirkzee needs to start we need more intelligent technical players on the pitch. Zirkzee hasmore leauge goals than hojland and better metrics per 90 in shooting dribiling passing, tackles, interceptions and blocks. hojland has 3 more goals playing an additional 200 minutes its nonsense.
this is such a good tactic but i think we are in need for a defensive left footed LWB and maybe a left footed cam because amorim said he likes for one of the cams to be a left footed player really good video ❤❤
I think you’re misjudging how much time Amorim has had with these guys. I think what you’re describing is exactly what he’s hoping to achieve - but Maz and Dalot are fullbacks, not wingbacks, so they don’t have the instinct to get forward. I think Amorim said they had 4 days of training total in the last 6 weeks cause of the schedule. So the hope is that with more days of training they actually will figure this out.
What you just described was the typical defensive versatility that Sporting had when Amorim was still in the club. Far more then usual Sporting would defend in a 4 4 2 high up the field and then change to a 5 2 3 or even 5 3 2 lower on the field. It is a default structure from Amorim. And is something I don't see much on United
🦁💚🤍 Right , But MU doesn't have Lefties, which is essential, so they've already bought Leon for next year, at Sporting they bought Nuno Santos, Mateus Reis and Nuno Mendes from the juniors Vinagre It was the only one that didn't yield
The rotation is killing us. Some players are already adapting to the style of play, but others just don’t fit. I think our attackers are the biggest issue. First, the system needs a CAM who can play in tight spaces, which leaves us with the Bruno problem, for lack of a better word. Our wingers are neither threats in 1v1 situations nor good finishers.
bruno is a major problem in the 10 because of his difficulty on the half turn under pressure and inconsitency but playing him in the 8 is even more of hinderance due to his slopiness in posession, inabilty to manuever the press and depite his engine doesnt win his ground duels at all and is a liabilty ariely as well. i scinecerly hope the manager is playing him just because with everything he says in the presss about posseion and quality on the ball brunos inclusoin and minutes played contradicts his supposed philosophy
Antony at LWB, Yoro LCB, de Ligt CB, Mazraoui RCB, Dalot RWB, Mainoo and Ugarte, Bruno and Amad, Hojlund. Rather than shifting to get Amad up the pitch shift the other way to get Antony attacking.
I am a little frustrated with the mangers resistance to adapting the system to the opponent. The 3 at the at the back can have a variety but seems unwilling to try .
The thumbnail bro! By principle its virtually impossible for a manager to instill his complete ideas under incompactible personel Requesting a 4-4-2 out of possession sounds until you come to realize that during transitions and crosses, shifting in between the systems create unnecesary Wing back extra movements in position that guardiolla terrible discourages and aso inteefers with the vertical line passess and movement that are so clear and easy to apply in a 5-4-1 system out of position.
From what we have got (for Liverpool) Onana (Gk), De Ligt/ Maguire (CD), Mazaroui (RCD), Yoro (LCD), Martinez (Midfield), Ugarte (Midfield), Amad (RWB), Anthony (LWB), Ericsson (AM), Mainoo (AM), Rasmus (Striker).
martinez is to slow and flat footed to be in that midfield against Liverpool's three and frankly his ball playing is overrated his touch and decision making under pressure is inconsistent doing the occasional cruyff and playing it back to the keeper is different to retaining possession in a congested midfield that already has the numerical advantage. starting anthony at LWB against salah probably wont end well so best to start dalot, he can also baby sit martinez at LCB. Add on to that bruno will be in the left 10 giving the ball away we need a defender at the lwb to help with the defensive transitions. amad is our genuinely our only intelligent attacker that has technical security who makes good decsions under pressure so he needs to stay at right 10. i disagree with AJ about why hes looked up and down in the 10 its got more to do with his supporrt. every time anthony has been introfuced off the bench at RWB the entire right side has upped there level maz anthony and amad have a good synery and they combine well. case should partner ugarte. and maino in the other 10. zirkzee up top
The main tactical problem is playing Dalot & Mazraoui as wingbacks in the last 5 games. Which is basically a back 5. Not only the wingbacks are not as good as Amad pressing high. But the main problem is the ball at feet and being able to slow down the press. We looked way better when Amad played as the wingback because you can pass him the ball, and he can carry that in the middle of the pitch to find the simple pass and thus push the defensive block higher and transition the ball forward.
Id like to see ugarte alongside mazaroui in that pivot of 6s, both have real physicality and an instinct to defend aswell as legs to get a grip of that midfield and the 2 number 10s kobbie and bruno with Amad right wingback. Maybe Antony on the left because he does have a decent left peg on him. And a back 3 of deligt maguire and yoro. Rasmus up front
maz needs to play in the back 3 for his composure and ball playing. starting de lfght and maguire is crazy only one should start perferbly de light as he is less prone to mistakes than maguire. zirkzee should start over rasmus he others nothing no shots no link up no aerial presence no hold up and averages less tackles interceptions and blocks than zirkzee
Zirkzee in a ferocious game like this will be completely lost, he'll get no time on the ball and he'll be like a rabbit in head lights. The physicality of Rasmus would probably help the United team with a physical presence but we do need to sign a senior striker
@Wobb71 again look at the numbers rasmus physicality is a myth. Less tackles , less interceptions, less blocks, less ariel and ground duels won. Possession loss more by poor touch, less dribbles worse passing. Watch the game and drop the agendas
Strange that we are broke even though the glazers used to spend a few hundred million in the summer then take 25-30 mil out in dividends this time of year and they haven't in the last 2 years
ratcliffe is going to usher in an era of frugality those days are long gone. expect no signings this january unless rash is moved on then next summer no more than 150 million invested with the majority coming from player sales
Dalot is not a good option to play higher. And mainoo still has more to improve. Amiron tactics will take time in the best way. We need some shots on goals from midfielders and wingers.
playing 3-4-3 always suffer at the midfield cause your wingbacks are getting pinned. the midfield is getting outnumbered, while the 3 centerbacks are marking only 1 opposition striker. its wasting a man.
One of them defenders had to step up That’s the strength of 343, it’s the most flexible and offers the most width You need a defender that can comfortably slot in the midfield to make it work
You're on to something yes. In Sporting he does this a lot. Sometimes he used Matheus Reis (who plays as a CB) as a LWB. At the same time he used a Jeny Catamo (our version of Hamad😊) as a RWB. Jeny was super high (attacking), wile Matheus is lower (defending), so they can do precisely like you point out. That's what he means when Amorim says "different dynamics within a system". I'll only add one thing: He buys players based on very specific profiles, and the United squad is miles away from having the profiles needed to play this system at high levels. I would argue that the right profiles in the pitch play better than just having "better players". The biggest thing for a CB of Amorim is speed. We bought very fast and agile CB. Only the "center CB" can, indeed, be slower and bigger. He took more than one year dumping over 7 players, and buying only 3/4 very specific players a year to get to were we (sporting) are now.. it takes some time. PS - Sporting had 6 left fotted players in the squad, I think..
Man utd didn’t have tactical problem, The problem is their player themselves, they don’t trust and don’t follow their coach… What Manutd can do is change all the lineup…
Why u make things complicated. in some games we pressed very well cause the back 3 joined the press but as they are not quick most of the times they sit very deep and in lots of games I've noticed how Amorim is frustrated with them hesitating to join the press. All u need is some defenders having the ball to press and leave the gap behind with the confidence of covering it when it needed
The team we would like to see for the forseeable future is: Even against Liverpool away! We expect not to lose as long as Amorim choose this team next! Onana, Kukonki, DeLigt, Yoro, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro/Martinez(capt), Malacia/Antony, Bruno/Mainoo, Hojlund, Amad. Subs: Bayindir, Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, Malacia, Bruno, Eriksen, Collyer, Gernacho, Antony, Zirkzee & Rashford! Keep it in the family!o
with out lisandro we cant play the ball outh of our third at all we gonna spend the whole game long pass and back pass 0 progress at all it is better to compensate than leaving him out
It’ll take the players a while to adjust to playing how Ruben wants. Not doing it by instinct. Thinking too much & making mistakes. Also certain players not of the quality
I think he needs to play Dalot with no football IQ on the left wing, and boy with small legs as a CB, not mobile enough pair in the midfield, with a sprinkle of mess up top.
We will never improve with those players, and thats the truth! Weve got probably one of the weakest midfield in the league! We lack so much as a team thats its astonishing! We dont have legs in midfield, the only one who is physically imposing in our midfield is Ugarte! The rest they either cant run or is not physically strong! In attack we dont have technicality, the only one who can keep the ball under pressure is Amad! Garnacho is young and his decision making is abysmal and Hojlund just backs up to the defender whenever we are playing, he rarely tries to run in behind the defence! In defence it even worse, weve got a goalkeeper who takes all his time on the ball, when he take start a quick counter by releasing the ball early and he just concedes goals that are meant to be saved! The defence is even more pathetic, Martinez since his injury looks like a guy who doesnt know what he is doing, Dalot, well if you are expecting him to find someone with a cross, he will need atleast 20 crosses, and our left back are non existent! So no matter how much the manager changes personel or tactics, it will never work, most of these players are bang average! And to top it up, this squad has got the most fragile confidence and their will to act, and actually give it their all is again NON EXISTENT
Actually i am surprised that amorim didnt made logical decisions. He should have played anthony as a left wing back or right wing back. Dalot as LWB is useless. I think man utd pressure is taking over amorim.
Stop playing 5 at the back , fullbacks shouldnt be playing as wingbacks they should be wingers we looked so much better when diallo was wingback, playing diallo as a number 10 stifles the attack because he stays out wide when he should be a number 10 so play him wingback, problem solved
Manchester United been around for over 140 years and in that time they have had only 2 periods of sustained excellence. Between Sirs Matt and Alex United have had two eras lasting over 50 years with each Manager logging over 25 years at the helm. In that time a United way of playing was established and serve the Managers and Club well for decades. Now along comes a manager who from all appearances was a panick hire who not only has a way of playing that is foreign to his players but also the history of the team but also has and insist on playing a formation unsuited to the team. I don't know for sure but something tells me that Sir Matt and Sir Alex never in their wildest dreams would have believed the future of United was in producing world class WINGBACKS.
Oh yes we all want to hear some random guy with zero experience in football whatsoever. Tell us how this situation can be resolved You’re wasting your life if you watch this video
Don't know more than Ruben or you but, it's high time we see that the 3-4-2-1 is not working We can't keep possession of the ball for long so we tend to make our wingbacks suffer
@@mm2801 that United team is scared of dropping their main stars if they underperform Sometimes, to make something stand well and make sure it doesn't fall, u have to risk it falling Bench Bruno, rest Dalot (he's overused), use a stable 3 man defence if that's what u want, let's see a stable partnership in midfield With time, results will come
@@eoghan1233 garnacho is skinny and weak on the ball he has no defensive awareness and will be targeted if he plays lwb and then when we attacl he doesnt have the quality either
You are delusional if you think Amorim's system is going to work in the Premier League. All managers who have won the Premier League had a combination of systems. Even SAF went to Anfield and played a different system than the one he would have played against West Ham at home.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not Onana's biggest fan (not even close), but Inter made it to a UCL final with Onana between the sticks. So, as much as I do agree that Onana prolly needs replacing, I don't think it's fair to say that we CAN'T improve unless Onana is replaced.
ruclips.net/video/NYgpbiCB1BA/видео.htmlsi=GwkpVB0kJzm8jwFn AJ can you get 3M€? A bargain Notice what a left foot can do instead of a right foot in this position.
I would love to at least see him try Antony at LWB.
Its the logical thing to do, Dalot is killing me on the left!
😂 how's he gonna cut in & shoot from the Lwb 😂😂
Antony on the left seems like a no brainer, considering we're missing left footed players on that side. And yeah Dalot is much much better on the right, better decision making IMO
Same just wait until after the liverpool game
@@Mack17.gmay start crossing the ball, which we seriously lack
Your work is heavily underrated
It really is underrated, I reckon if ten hag watched his videos, maybe his job would’ve been saved
Thanks!
As you know, Mazroui is a versatile player but a player like yoro is a young gun and we certainly can not change his position to LCB as a very experienced player (i.e. Salah) will be there that will be a threatning area for Man United. So leni should keep his position so as Mazroui as we he can play as a LCB.

You are making an overall accurate point but end of the day that mid against Newcastle was absolutely naive and a massive mistake.
Agreed..we have no idea about mainoos game time after injury
@@zdbrownieif Mainoo wasn’t fit to play 90 then who would you have preferred to see?

It's not about tactics anymore. This team simply doesn't have any confidence. They are too afraid and anxious.
Good old 4-4-2.
Sean Dyche approves. 😎
Sometimes I wonder if we slightly shifted our front 3 to be a 3412 instead of a 343 if we would be better off with 2 strikers and a true CAM
Spot on @manchester United
Come see this
I’ve said it before that the formation vs Everton has been our best formation. Amad as a RB and that yoro position is good 👍
Best in class as always pal👍👍Kerkez would be perfect on the left Amad on the right!! I am just dreaming for now tho

@dustinmccrindle343 💯 I agree we need 2-3 and 2-3cm/CAM Dorgu great choice been crying out to sign him since last summer
Great analysis from you there, using a 4 4 2 while off the ball would serve us a great deal
Having yoro and dalot on the left side simply renders that side useless, teams would push us to the left and then block us
Getting Fernandez back instead of Dalot and I'd be all on board 👍great video as usual AJ
I totally agree 👍technically in Portuguese he's called alvaro carreras
Spot on. Amad should be back at RWB.
the truth is we need to stop the pro bias and negative agendas about certain players. the 3 cbs need to be yoro de light and maz. the better defenders and the most comfortable on the ball with the required physicality. maguire and de light are similar in terms of physicality but maguire is far more prone to mistakes. maz provides the same or even greater ball playing martinez supposedly gives us (despite taking more time on the ball with touches and executing passes).

he's seen anthony change the game from the bench at rwb due to that very attacking instinct you mention but he still refuses to start him
That can't be right. If we assume they get at most two days rest a week, that means at least three training sessions a week. 6x3 = 18.
What you just described was the typical defensive versatility that Sporting had when Amorim was still in the club.

Try Dalot as RWB, wide centre back and CM, as he is not Terri ke technically at all and is an athlete which the squad needs
came back to say this video aged like fine wine
How to improve without singings?
Replace old overpaid players with young ambitious academy players. 😎

Thank you
Nah the striker situation will fix itself when we start creating chances.
He's actually been begging them to do exactly that. My guy is literally standing in the side screaming for them to move higher up. That and the basics
Antony at LWB, Yoro LCB, de Ligt CB, Mazraoui RCB, Dalot RWB, Mainoo and Ugarte, Bruno and Amad, Hojlund. Rather than shifting to get Amad up the pitch shift the other way to get Antony attacking.
I am a little frustrated with the mangers resistance to adapting the system to the opponent. The 3 at the at the back can have a variety but seems unwilling to try .

Requesting a 4-4-2 out of possession sounds until you come to realize that during transitions and crosses, shifting in between the systems create unnecesary Wing back extra movements in position that guardiolla terrible discourages and aso inteefers with the vertical line passess and movement that are so clear and easy to apply in a 5-4-1 system out of position.
From what we have got (for Liverpool)
Onana (Gk), De Ligt/ Maguire (CD), Mazaroui (RCD), Yoro (LCD), Martinez (Midfield), Ugarte (Midfield), Amad (RWB), Anthony (LWB), Ericsson (AM), Mainoo (AM), Rasmus (Striker).
Eriksen has no legs for liverpool
Awful 11
martinez is to slow and flat footed to be in that midfield against Liverpool's three and frankly his ball playing is overrated his touch and decision making under pressure is inconsistent doing the occasional cruyff and playing it back to the keeper is different to retaining possession in a congested midfield that already has the numerical advantage.
starting anthony at LWB against salah probably wont end well so best to start dalot, he can also baby sit martinez at LCB. Add on to that bruno will be in the left 10 giving the ball away we need a defender at the lwb to help with the defensive transitions.
amad is our genuinely our only intelligent attacker that has technical security who makes good decsions under pressure so he needs to stay at right 10. i disagree with AJ about why hes looked up and down in the 10 its got more to do with his supporrt. every time anthony has been introfuced off the bench at RWB the entire right side has upped there level maz anthony and amad have a good synery and they combine well.
case should partner ugarte. and maino in the other 10.
zirkzee up top
The main tactical problem is playing Dalot & Mazraoui as wingbacks in the last 5 games. Which is basically a back 5.
Not only the wingbacks are not as good as Amad pressing high. But the main problem is the ball at feet and being able to slow down the press.
We looked way better when Amad played as the wingback because you can pass him the ball, and he can carry that in the middle of the pitch to find the simple pass and thus push the defensive block higher and transition the ball forward.
Amorim is ridiculous, same as people who appointed him.
Id like to see ugarte alongside mazaroui in that pivot of 6s, both have real physicality and an instinct to defend aswell as legs to get a grip of that midfield and the 2 number 10s kobbie and bruno with Amad right wingback. Maybe Antony on the left because he does have a decent left peg on him. And a back 3 of deligt maguire and yoro. Rasmus up front
maz needs to play in the back 3 for his composure and ball playing. starting de lfght and maguire is crazy only one should start perferbly de light as he is less prone to mistakes than maguire. zirkzee should start over rasmus he others nothing no shots no link up no aerial presence no hold up and averages less tackles interceptions and blocks than zirkzee
Maz is garbage in defence, it's now official.
@@MachinegumKellyHes not, he's just not been in the best of form in the last 5 or 6 games but over this season he's been our best player,
Zirkzee in a ferocious game like this will be completely lost, he'll get no time on the ball and he'll be like a rabbit in head lights. The physicality of Rasmus would probably help the United team with a physical presence but we do need to sign a senior striker
@Wobb71 again look at the numbers rasmus physicality is a myth. Less tackles , less interceptions, less blocks, less ariel and ground duels won. Possession loss more by poor touch, less dribbles worse passing. Watch the game and drop the agendas
playing with Dallot is playing with 10 men
Strange that we are broke even though the glazers used to spend a few hundred million in the summer then take 25-30 mil out in dividends this time of year and they haven't in the last 2 years
ratcliffe is going to usher in an era of frugality those days are long gone. expect no signings this january unless rash is moved on then next summer no more than 150 million invested with the majority coming from player sales
The coach could play Mazuori at the LWB n let Dalot play at RCB as he wasn't bad playing as a Right full back
Will Amorim’s system work in the prem?
I'd change some players positions around a bit
Onana
Mazraoui
De Ligt
Yoro
Bruno
Ugarte
Martinez
Diallo
Hojlund
Mainoo
Garnacho
Guimares is such a quality mid. He was brilliant against us and then the same against tottenham.
He was my TOP recommended target roughly 12 months before he went to Newcastle, we missed out on an amazing player :(
Lacey and Amass as our wingbacks
Aj for Utd manager 🤣👌🏽
Garanacho has been so bad lately. Its sad that he can only thrive in a transition team...
He's young enough to learn
It's really not that sad. He's a fucking kid. Everyone isn't Wayne Rooney and there's nothing wrong with that.
Dalot is not a good option to play higher. And mainoo still has more to improve. Amiron tactics will take time in the best way. We need some shots on goals from midfielders and wingers.
playing 3-4-3 always suffer at the midfield cause your wingbacks are getting pinned. the midfield is getting outnumbered, while the 3 centerbacks are marking only 1 opposition striker. its wasting a man.
One of them defenders had to step up
That’s the strength of 343, it’s the most flexible and offers the most width
You need a defender that can comfortably slot in the midfield to make it work
How abt Kukonki at LCB?
Everyone knows that a 4-4-2 is just a 3-4-3 that has an aggressive flying right wingback counterbalanced by a withdrawn left sided attacker.
You're on to something yes.
In Sporting he does this a lot. Sometimes he used Matheus Reis (who plays as a CB) as a LWB.
At the same time he used a Jeny Catamo (our version of Hamad😊) as a RWB.
Jeny was super high (attacking), wile Matheus is lower (defending), so they can do precisely like you point out.
That's what he means when Amorim says "different dynamics within a system".
I'll only add one thing:
He buys players based on very specific profiles, and the United squad is miles away from having the profiles needed to play this system at high levels. I would argue that the right profiles in the pitch play better than just having "better players".
The biggest thing for a CB of Amorim is speed. We bought very fast and agile CB. Only the "center CB" can, indeed, be slower and bigger.
He took more than one year dumping over 7 players, and buying only 3/4 very specific players a year to get to were we (sporting) are now.. it takes some time.
PS - Sporting had 6 left fotted players in the squad, I think..
Man utd didn’t have tactical problem,
The problem is their player themselves, they don’t trust and don’t follow their coach…
What Manutd can do is change all the lineup…
Why u make things complicated. in some games we pressed very well cause the back 3 joined the press but as they are not quick most of the times they sit very deep and in lots of games I've noticed how Amorim is frustrated with them hesitating to join the press. All u need is some defenders having the ball to press and leave the gap behind with the confidence of covering it when it needed
You realise Maguire will give away some stupid mistakes?
The team we would like to see for the forseeable future is: Even against Liverpool away!
We expect not to lose as long as Amorim choose this team next!
Onana, Kukonki, DeLigt, Yoro, Mazraoui, Ugarte, Casemiro/Martinez(capt), Malacia/Antony, Bruno/Mainoo, Hojlund, Amad.
Subs: Bayindir, Dalot, Maguire, Evans, Lindelof, Malacia, Bruno, Eriksen, Collyer, Gernacho, Antony, Zirkzee & Rashford!
Keep it in the family!o
with out lisandro we cant play the ball outh of our third at all we gonna spend the whole game long pass and back pass 0 progress at all it is better to compensate than leaving him out
Onana
De Ligt Maguire Yoro
Amad Mainoo Ugarte Mazraoui
Fernandes Garnacho
Hojlund
He can improve man utd but he needs players especially in the midfield
He's on the spectrum for sure, he will get us into championship if he doesn't adapt to the set of players that are available.
It’ll take the players a while to adjust to playing how Ruben wants. Not doing it by instinct. Thinking too much & making mistakes. Also certain players not of the quality
I think he needs to play Dalot with no football IQ on the left wing, and boy with small legs as a CB, not mobile enough pair in the midfield, with a sprinkle of mess up top.
Mazroui should pkay pivot with ugarte
Ugarte shouldn't play cm in this system.
We will never improve with those players, and thats the truth! Weve got probably one of the weakest midfield in the league! We lack so much as a team thats its astonishing! We dont have legs in midfield, the only one who is physically imposing in our midfield is Ugarte! The rest they either cant run or is not physically strong!
In attack we dont have technicality, the only one who can keep the ball under pressure is Amad! Garnacho is young and his decision making is abysmal and Hojlund just backs up to the defender whenever we are playing, he rarely tries to run in behind the defence! In defence it even worse, weve got a goalkeeper who takes all his time on the ball, when he take start a quick counter by releasing the ball early and he just concedes goals that are meant to be saved! The defence is even more pathetic, Martinez since his injury looks like a guy who doesnt know what he is doing, Dalot, well if you are expecting him to find someone with a cross, he will need atleast 20 crosses, and our left back are non existent!
So no matter how much the manager changes personel or tactics, it will never work, most of these players are bang average! And to top it up, this squad has got the most fragile confidence and their will to act, and actually give it their all is again NON EXISTENT
Play Martinez in the midfield
Yes for the reserves.
Actually i am surprised that amorim didnt made logical decisions. He should have played anthony as a left wing back or right wing back. Dalot as LWB is useless. I think man utd pressure is taking over amorim.
I agree with you Kumar.👏🏼
Antony is a one trick pony, can only play inverted winger. He had to rely on a proper winger to feed him. He just needs to be sold.
Stop playing 5 at the back , fullbacks shouldnt be playing as wingbacks they should be wingers we looked so much better when diallo was wingback, playing diallo as a number 10 stifles the attack because he stays out wide when he should be a number 10 so play him wingback, problem solved
We should try and use Yoro as a CB in the center. I wouldn't put Dalot anywhere near that first team.
Manchester United been around for over 140 years and in that time they have had only 2 periods of sustained excellence. Between Sirs Matt and Alex United have had two eras lasting over 50 years with each Manager logging over 25 years at the helm. In that time a United way of playing was established and serve the Managers and Club well for decades.
Now along comes a manager who from all appearances was a panick hire who not only has a way of playing that is foreign to his players but also the history of the team but also has and insist on playing a formation unsuited to the team. I don't know for sure but something tells me that Sir Matt and Sir Alex never in their wildest dreams would have believed the future of United was in producing world class WINGBACKS.
Oh yes we all want to hear some random guy with zero experience in football whatsoever. Tell us how this situation can be resolved
You’re wasting your life if you watch this video
You're unto something
Don't know more than Ruben or you but, it's high time we see that the 3-4-2-1 is not working
We can't keep possession of the ball for long so we tend to make our wingbacks suffer
The calibre of players we have can't do what is expected of them
That includes Bruno as an Attacking midfielder and also a wide player
@@T.biggest yet he persits with bruno? why cant he see what we see
@@mm2801 that United team is scared of dropping their main stars if they underperform
Sometimes, to make something stand well and make sure it doesn't fall, u have to risk it falling
Bench Bruno, rest Dalot (he's overused), use a stable 3 man defence if that's what u want, let's see a stable partnership in midfield
With time, results will come
Just play Garnacho at LWB, Mazroui at RWB and Amad at RAM
He loses the ball too much that’s ok when he gets it further up the pitch but not when he gets it in our half
@@eoghan1233 garnacho is skinny and weak on the ball he has no defensive awareness and will be targeted if he plays lwb and then when we attacl he doesnt have the quality either
Garnacho can only come off the bench, but he plays better as a right winger when starts.
Please everybody understand. It is not about "System, Idea, Tactics" etc. It is about managing. I bet Amorim cannot manage even the kitchen
And proper selection.
You are delusional if you think Amorim's system is going to work in the Premier League. All managers who have won the Premier League had a combination of systems. Even SAF went to Anfield and played a different system than the one he would have played against West Ham at home.
Impossible to improve with no keeper. He must sing a keeper
Don't get me wrong, I'm not Onana's biggest fan (not even close), but Inter made it to a UCL final with Onana between the sticks. So, as much as I do agree that Onana prolly needs replacing, I don't think it's fair to say that we CAN'T improve unless Onana is replaced.

AJ can you get 3M€? A bargain
Notice what a left foot can do instead of a right foot in this position.
