United were never a defending team Our foundation has been Attacking, We got away scoring more goals But I’m sure we will get better. And also, it was that aggressiveness in attack that got us Garnacho goal, where Hojlund pressed the keeper against Bodo. But hey, you always spot on with your analysis and providing us with all grey/black areas. Thanks.🙏
@@ekpereonnebassey7428 if they don't balance why don't teams score many goals against them, quoting Sir Alex Ferguson "attack wins you games but defence wins you trophies" balance is very important
Q@@ekpereonnebassey7428I don't know what you are watching because those teams you talked about seems to not concede lot of goals, you might think they just attack because of the amount of goals they score but when they defend, they do it like there life depend on it.
Let’s revisit the analysis. Ruben Amorim’s system is built around tactical flexibility, with a focus on pressing and positional awareness. The central back plays a critical role by stepping up to press the attacking midfielder when needed. The two central midfielders push high to support the press, while the wingbacks rotate their roles-one pushes forward to press while the other stays back to maintain balance. When the ball shifts to the opposite side of the pitch, the wingbacks switch responsibilities, creating a dynamic 4-4-2 shape on one side of the field to force the opposition into playing long balls. I’ve been studying Ruben Amorim’s tactics closely, and while the approach is promising, it requires time for the players to master. If the opposition manages to bypass the press, Manchester United transitions into a compact 5-4-1 defensive shape. This is where his 3-4-2-1 system shines: the pressing structure depends heavily on the left or right center-back pushing high based on where the opposition builds play. For instance, if the attack comes from the right, the right center-back steps up to press, while the wingback and the two central midfielders push high to close down space. The same happens on the left. It’s almost a man-to-man pressing system in the attacking phase, with the front three, midfielders, and wingbacks involved. The advantage of this system is that it allows the center-backs and wingbacks to join the press, creating intense pressure on the opposition. However, the players are still adapting. Ruben Amorim himself mentioned in his first interview that the squad was 'overthinking' the instructions. With time and repetition, these movements will become second nature. Manchester United is only two match into learning this system, so it’s premature to criticize the defense. They’re still adjusting to Amorim’s ideas, and with more practice, the team will look more cohesive. This isn’t like Ten Hag’s era, where large gaps between the defense and attack left us exposed in transition. Ruben Amorim’s approach is designed to close those gaps while maintaining a high press. I always enjoy your videos, but I believe your assessment missed some of these nuances. Once the team fully integrates Amorim’s philosophy, I’m confident we’ll see significant improvements
The problem we still have in our team is that we still have bench material players in the starting line up but the manager sees them and will detect them in his system before the summer window
Malacia and Martinez kinda changed roles during the press...because the Bodo players made outside and dropping runs. Aggravated by Bruno's indecisive pressing on that instance.
Mate Mr Scarlet just got married he need to hustle to be able to pickup the bills. If the giftings are worth it I bet you, Mr Scarlet report will be on our screen back to back understand this and know peace😂
Thanks again. What a fantastic analysis! You are right, the players are still not used to the system. Lots of confusion and misunderstanding at the moment. A number of players don't seem to fit the system. Bruno is redundant cos #10 is not needed. And most of the players don't have the fitness and mentality.
So I think the Malacia/ Martinez bit is actually pretty simple. They switch positions in that moment. Malacia would have been the one to press the dude but he took Martinez’s spot in the back 3. So same shape but personnel changed. Same way Dalot was IF a lot when he came on and Garnacho was hugging the touchline more a la WB. Unfortunate goal to concede (I agree Bruno was lost and that’s probably the main issue here) but if the hadn’t switched, I expect Martinez to have dealt with the threat in a way Malacia couldn’t then.
Thank you. It's going to be years before we are a decent side again. Ludicrous recruitment policy . Why eth got another transfer window instead of amorin makes me question ineos.
I think a lot of the times, man united players disappoint players who make runs and are expecting clear passes from their fellow players. It kills the creation of chances, and does not encourage players to make runs. All players should be able to make clear cut passes, whether over the top or down.
Amorim is working on it,I believe in him, it's just a matter of time,btw Mr scarlet please make a video nd prove to this fanbase how Ganarcho is being selfish,HOJLUND could have scored a hatrick if not for Ganarcho's decision making,Please make a video
For the first time..uve got it wrong... Amorims defense tactics differ depending on the oppon3nt..he uses both high press and low block(drop back) When playing big teams with good paasing ability, his team sits back in its own half forming a 541 or 442 shape.. But when playing small teams,they use high press..where the right centre back and left centre back are required to press very high to cover the spaces left in midfield...thats why even mazraoui was pressing high thats when he stole the ball that he later crossed and assisted Hojlund.. CONCLUSION: Martinez positions was instructed by the coach himself.....its the same reason Evans was substituted in ipswich game coz he could not effectively press aggressively high up the pitch and it left mutchinson of ipswich to recieve the ball freely and turn towards United goal Besides @2:35 it was a 3 v 2,united with 3 defenders against 2...those three players had to do enough to prevent a goal..not requiring a fourth defender when playing Bodo...almost all big teams when they are being attacked through a counter attack,defend with 3 players..go watch City,pool,arsenal,bayern,barcelona etc....United players should do better,the tactics were right.
Honestly, I'm sick of the whole aggressive man-for-man high press stuff. Just sit back in a compact 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 mid-bloc then close down when they cross the halfway line or enter the middle 3rd and play it out to the flanks.
Bruno is the worst player in a Pressing System, one second he'll run after one player and after 5 seconds, he's running behind other player who will pass the ball back to first player. The headless chicken term suits him perfectly.
Mr.... I have long enjoyed your tactical analysis and I appreciate that. But this time you have spent much time talking about other games rather than this very game.
@@TheScarletReport yep, childish response before even playing your video. As always bud, love your content, and insightful balanced analysis. Appreciate you finding the time to do this too.👍
I am not letting Malacia off that easy. It is easy to jump on the excuse about him being out for 2 years but what we have to remember for most of those 2 years he would have been working on fitness and speed running in straight lines which is exactly the scenario he go beat so easily against them so he should have at the very least been able to compete ESPECIALLY as he had a huge head start on the winger and was way ahead of him but still got spun like a typhoon went past him. This could very well be his ceiling in pace after the injury.
I see where you are coming from and I totally agree with your last sentence. Only time will tell. If he can't recover his speed then maybe we will have to let him go.
Bro..... I love what you're doing but always be consistent..,.. you keep us waiting for too long 🙏 one love from 9ija

Like this comment if you truly believe Scarlet Report is the most genuine account matters Manchester United.
The problem we still have in our team is that we still have bench material players in the starting line up but the manager sees them and will detect them in his system before the summer window
The next two transfer windows will be crucial.
Players with strong football IQ and ability to learn will flourish
May the power be with you. Keep up the good work. May MU succeed. Glaziers OUT.

Brilliant analysis as always. Really enjoyed it

Let us give these players time to adapt in Ruben Amorim system
Very good analysis
Can I be part of your team ?
As Ruben Amorin said the players need to understand football not just playing it 😅
That was a great quote. Brought a big smile to my face.
Wow🎉
Martinez is used to pressing unnecessary
All about football IQ.. something that sums up the difference btw being a Marcus Rashford and being a Vinicius Jnr.. I believe.
Honestly, I'm sick of the whole aggressive man-for-man high press stuff. Just sit back in a compact 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 mid-bloc then close down when they cross the halfway line or enter the middle 3rd and play it out to the flanks.
We don't have to play like that at all.
