It's depressing, actually. And the manager doesn't care that he's ruining the club, after every bad game he's always like "I've won this and that, I have faced this scenario before, we're in transition, it's a process", even to questions that doesn't warrant him bragging. We can see he's bargaining with the board for more time. And the fans are like "Who's gonna replace him", or "It's the players downing tools, they throw managers under the bus". Every single time. Can't two things be true? It's sickening to see the lack of concern, even as a neutral.
@@Coach-rq6jx Actually the gaslighting is hilarious. This bald fraud is really bragging about titles when his side blew a 3-0 lead, got saved by VAR and only managed to reach the final via penalties against a THIRD TIER side! Not to mention their worst ever place in the Prem.
The worst thing to have happened to Ten Hag was coming 3rd. He panicked after those two heavy defeats at the start of his United career. So he sacrificed some his principles for results. Maybe he underestimated the premier league or overestimated his own coaching abilities. Ultimately it's not sustainable to coach something you don't really believe in. So you get this mess which is very much feast and famine. A decent run of positive results followed by run of really bad results. The message from the start should have been the process will be painful and slow. Some stars like Rashford, Shaw, or Bruno will need to be sold. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Instead Ten Hag was given over £500m to build whatever this is.
everything you talked about to me shows a lack of leadership and discipline. when players make mistakes, they're not being held accountable by the manager or their teammates on the pitch. who's the defensive leader organizing the back line? who's the leader in midfield? it seems like they're just on auto-pilot in a lot of these matches and they don't play with intent or urgency. and like you also said, seems like they don't have any good plan B for attacking when plan A isn't working. Bruno being the captain is also a big problem because he's the #1 complainer, whiner, diver, etc. who doesn't hold himself accountable so i doubt he's doing it for his teammates either.
You see clear tactical faults from ten hag and you think it’s individual problems even though we’ve had these same problems since last season with different individuals the players are instructed not to play a high line it’s on ten hag
You were probably too young to remember how Roy Keane and Gary Neville used to whine and harass to the Refs, just that United were still winning trophies back then compared to now. The other difference back then is all the players would fight till the very end and it wasn’t just one or two players that would hold others accountable. Gary Neville described how Mark Hughes, Keane, Cantona, Schmeichel, would put any players to task, so it wasn’t just the one captain, everyone was a leader and a fighter back then. Now, Ten Hag couldn’t have any outspoken players, or players with Ego in his team. Players have pride and ego for a reason, they come with being a top player. Ten Hag ship out all these players as he couldn’t handle them big players. How are you going to win with no leaders in the team? That’s Ten Hag for you
I feel like if you have 2 players like Zirkzee and Fernandes who aren't the best pressers it's not good to put them in the type of hybrid structure a front 2 requires, Fernandes doesn't know how to cover passing lanes properly when pressing. Also Ten hag man to man approach without proper shapes causes several gaps in the midfield as Ugarte and Mainoo have to run like madmen all the time yet they're alone with no cover from Garnacho nor Rashford who never track back for a 4-4-2 to work, compared to idk, any other coach like Simeone who plays with this system and forced Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco or Koke when he played as a side midfielder to just track back like wingbacks therefore turning the team at times into a 5-3-2 shape. Also another problem is Ten Hag never ever matching the shape of the rival team.
@@Poussyeater-w5e The fans would never accept their side playing like underdogs and being defensively solid first. Also you would hear pundits like Keane, Rio, Scholes etc. go "oh this isn't the United Way!!" "We're Man United! We should be dominating teams that come to Old Trafford!" That's what happened to Mourinho. It's like they're still stuck in 2013 and expect United to still be this great force.
@@stevendchu well clearly going on the offensive hasn't worked wonders mate. They can moan and groan about "United way" this and that but as long as the results are coming in that's all that matters. If Mourinho had been backed as much as Ten Hag, I'd like to think he'd have achieved a whole lot more.
Its on the both ends: 1. Front line: The problem lies with the player who triggers the pressing (mostly Bruno). They always carelessly got baited by opposition build up and forcing the midfield to step up helping, thus creating the problematic gap due to defenders have to manage the line at the same time. Not to mention the poor conversion rate. 2. Back line: Teams are having more and more quick and powerful attacking players therefore defenders who aren't comfortable in high-line and one on one duels are exposed. Solution: not to sack the manager, but to be humble enough by taking a pragmatic approach: play counter attacking style until you got enough cohesion. 1 point of draw is better than having 15.0 XG with zero conversion while conceding 1000 goals at the same time.
the way Rashford runs with the ball and lost it where the defender ran 70 yards and provided the assist for the first goal is the clearest sign of United NOT being a possession based team. That's pure counter attacking mentality and Rashford and Bruno are the main culprit
I'm not a United supporter but IMO Bruno is actually a net negative asset. Yes he puts up big stats like assists/chances created but its because he's always trying to play hero ball, and he isn't a great presser either. He gets too focused on the ball and baited into breaking the structure, leaving gaps everywhere while he chases the ball like a hungry dog. Not the ideal choice to be captain.
The main issue at United is the space between the line. And the problem is that they attack too quick without waiting the whole team to follow the attack. Bruno always try to make a decisive pass instead of keeping the ball and wait for a easier opportunities. Therefore the defense can’t follow the attack and be ready to press the opponent.
You mentioned everything i always say to my fellow Manchester United fans. The space between midfield and defenses is our main problem cuz it gives the opponent all the opportunity to drive at the defense and score.

The players arent performing because they are confused and lost by the tactics. It all comes down to ETH, Never has a manager in history been able to buy almost all of his former players like ETH. I believe he has 8-9 players from his Ajax team.
It's only 5 players from Ajax. Onana, De Ligt, Martinez, Mazraoui & Antony. Antony barely plays games, so it's mostly the defense that's old Ajax. And even they haven't all played together before, De Ligt never played with Martinez at Ajax. Like the video mentions, I also believe it's a problem of both the limited and predictive ETH tactics & the failings of the players making the wrong plays and their positioning.

The only time I was impressed was the first half against Brighton, but that was all one-touch passes under pressure perfectly placed to a teammate who would do the same. Risky and inconsistent. I think the game is a function of quality chances vs opponents' quality chances, and United are miles off the mark from other teams in the Premier League. I'd like to see ten Hag try a more relational style of play in his last games, as I think it would be fun for the players, the fans, and may suit the quality of the players if they can maintain a semblance of defensive intensity and coordination.

Manchester United needs to face reality and deal accordingly with their problems. I feel like their problems are deeper than just tactics. They need to find out where the issue is and how it can be solved.
can you make a video about Jose Mourinho's tactic with Fenerbahce this year? Because for now, he dissapointed lots of football fan in Turkey. Lots of them think Mourinho's carrier has already end and he is not able to show his abilities now. I would like to see this situation from your perspective. What is the problem i mean
how did he disappoint turkey fans? 99 points runner up against a giant titan (2 more points than liverpool against manc back then), and galatasaray has oshimhen as an addition this summer. no one will blame mourinho anyway.
Wow this is an incredibly well done video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I went back and watched his Ajax games and they executed what you said to the T with less fear and resistance. I’m starting to think it’s a mental issue with these united players.
Another problem is he's been backed heavily yet still relies on the likes of Maguire, Rashford and Garnacho. His signings have been piss poor tbh. Can't sign a midfielder like Ugarte and expect him to play a style that isn't compatible with his skillset. Same with Casemiro. You should sign players that suit the way you want to play. And also I keep wondering how tf he got the system to work against City, and why he can't play like that every game
Ten hag just cant get it right with a 'transitional' system.Had he not given up his ajax style and tried implementing it last year,things would have been different for sure
@@matiasescobar8730 he’s spend over 600 million on players, over 150 on midfielders. If only one player in the world can (maybe) play your system then it just doesn’t work
- Very well respected and "up and coming" manager in 2022. - Seems right choice "on paper" so Man United get him so that he can get Ole's counter attacking squad play Ajax ball "instantly" - Realises the squad he has (even with new signings) can't suit a possession style (his original style) after the 4-0 Brentford - Adapts to the squad and choosing a conservative but solid style playing according to the players' strength - Has a really good and impactful 1st season showing how a good coach can turn things around. - Doesn't go back to his orginal ideas at all - Tries to implement more front-foot tactics from 23/24 which the squad isn't suited to at all since Jose and Ole's reign - In 23/24, decides to do something which isn't his expertise by saying "We want to become best transition team in the world" - Doesn't work out from GW 1 but despite lack of personnel and injuries persists with it as "style of play" is imp (Ole was thrown out for that and lack of trophies) - Wins the Cup and no better manager is available - Stays in the job and now with a new squad and 6 games in, hasn't been able to bridge that style gap between possession based and transition based. - The players (not his signings) for whom he choose to go transitional are failing him, in addition to his own tactical flaws. Ffs even if we bring Zidane, will the fans guarantee him time? Or will he be another bald fraud after 1.5 yrs? Tuchel or Inzaghi? Will players disrespect him when he shouts to them on the field?
@@tf-ok ok 3 from a nearly 30 man Squad. 10% of Players that Aren‘t „his“. The youth player shouldn’t be even in this conversation, because no head trainer can say that a youth academy is his. I look at the stats and I wonder why he hasn’t been kicked of and give another man a chance. It feels like most Man U players don’t even want ETH anymore imo
@tf-ok He is choosing to play Both Bruno and Rashford even when the form has dropped and the youth has been promoted by him. I don't think "they are not his players" is an excuse we can use. Even if they are his players it does not equal success. I think the video is spot on both the manager and the players share a lot of blame but as a manager regardless of the industry it is your job to find solutions with the tools you have available.
Tactics is 1 thing; confidence and chemistry is a 2nd important thing. Winning matches will help building confidence. Losing is ofc will break confidence. ManU is inconsistant, for that means lack of focus and confidence. That is part of the managers doing and also players. Not all, but some players. I do think Ten Hag is on his way out and will not turn the tide. A signal for me is when a coach starts to get more of his players with who he had success with (De Ligt and Mazraoui). Another signal is given by the club; you start looking for another manager and in the end you still sit with the old manager; that is not confidence building. Club leadership is also important in building trust. Every time the job of Ten Hag is on discussion; either by the fans or media. I don't believe it is all peace and quiet within the club, they are not alligned they are in this together for a whole season.
I thought the space between the midfield and defence already fixed after dropping Maguire lol. Poor Casemiro he didn't deserve the blame in the previous weeks, surely they're gonna blame Ugarte next
I think the main issue with United is that we rush our attack when we gain possession of the ball. It's too quick. We need to keep the ball and cherish possession. Too often, we waste possession with a low percentage ball in a transition attack. Instead we should play the high percentage balls, keep possession and use quick short passes to work our way around the opposition into an attack. Once we do this we can dominate the midfield and that's how most games are won or lost.
I'm not a tactico or anything but Zirkzee and Fernandez shouldn't play together. They cover the same spaces and have the same playmaker role. Maybe Ten Hag should play Casemiro, Ugarte and Mainoo so Zirkzee can lay deep while funneling Garnacho and Amad into space.
If against twente they did a certain trick , then the could have done the same against spurs . The team is inconsistent and has a problem in mastering there way of playing.
in the game against spurs, they didn't even have any attacking strategy. the midfielders get the ball and just yeet it forwards hoping garnacho or rashford will get to it
It's actually really weird. ETH is a good coach, just one of many in a line of good coaches who have brutally failed as Man United manager. Their players are good too, Rashford, Zirkzee, Casemiro, De Ligt, Martinez, Onana and Højlund, all of these players are actually really, really good. It makes no sense, there's something really rotten going on to make Man United look like this
You cannot have a cohesive press with players like rashford, Bruno, garnacho & zirzkee as the front 4 You can only play one at once As none of them track back or press Bruno runs around like a headless chicken but is extremely ill disciplined tactically So it’s no wonder every team by passes our midfield like it’s not there
One thing I have noticed about eth is that his tactics are not consistent e doesn't have a footprint of the players, when united play composed and Mobile team they tend to shove their tail in their asses, he doesn't take the play to composed opponent and when he plays small teams dey control they game for some moments until the other gets composed for 30 mins and dey concede
@@abcdefg3214 you then don't watch the podcast, you probably didn't watch the video you're mentioning. That shit was a clickbait. While he does agree that ETH messed up he still is firm on the fact that it was the players fault. The preview to Porto match he starts with don't start XYZ players. Go do your bit of research.
@@abcdefg3214 The titles are clickbait nor really his opinion a lot of the times he has a different opinion to the titles also the sack ten hag titles will probably have a question mark at end of it anyway.
Intelligent movement....that's really it. Ten Hag is touted as a positional manager when he is in fact a relationist. Just watch his Ajax teams. My issue is with people trying to place all the faults on him. 3 players could have stopped Van de Ven. Dalot could have followed Johnson. They were all right there and didn't.
United fans have become morons in the last couple of years, ever since Ole they became mediocre fans... 🤷 Just one victory against a nobody team is enough to please them, just one carabao cup is enough to make them endure another year failures they have become weak, they are so desperate that they will take anything and it's so pathetic to watch... 🤦
Rashford, Bruno, Garnacho, Antony, Mount and Diallo all need to be replaced. In regards to Garnacho and Diallo, I don't think they need to be sold, they should be the rotation options at this point in their careers. I honestly think we're 3 or so players away from being a dangerous team, fans just need to be patient and UA-camrs need to stop exploiting the club!
True, although I disagree with some things you said mostly yes you're right it's like the media wants the manager to get sacked more than the plastic and toxic fans
If you get rid of all those players you're 3 players away from being a dangerous 5 a side team. I've never seen a fanbase to a 'big' team with such a victim mentality
@@MK12275 I think being financially successful is part of your problem. You're never going to be forced into the position of being humbled and having to grow a team of relative nobodies into a cohesive unit because you can always throw 100m at the next big thing in the hopes they'll fix everything.
Signing of de ligt was a really poor profiling. Bad on the ball and likes being the last player of the defense, just like lisandro. They needed a dominant but good reader in the defense to jump out and put pressure on attackers. Ten hags profiling is really bad
The same thing is always there, Man Utd front 4 aren't capable of pressing, both physically and mentally, 442 pressing line-up, Fernandes: weak, slow, Zirkzee: slow, Rashford: fast, weak, and lazy, Garnacho: fast, weak, hard-working. Basically, you need 4 hard-working physical players to high-press. Also, EtH's press tactic has huge loopholes, you have to push forward 1 of your 4 defenders to match the mid-field number, there's no way 2 forwards can mark 3 opponents, including GK, that's 4 vs 2. That's why there're more teams using 352 or 343 to press.
The first goal coceded was pure licha's mistake of passing the ball to United player....he passed the ball to give an assist for spurs player..do you think ETH commanded him to do that??if he passed the ball correctly to United player..that won't be an assist to spurs..down by 1-0 at half time down to 10 men..what could you do in second half???
Bar spurs you can see the tactics. Maybe they just don’t work with these players. United play exactly the same way as Liverpool but with players that are settled.
That space between defence and midfield is like christmas.

Because for now, he dissapointed lots of football fan in Turkey. Lots of them think Mourinho's carrier has already end and he is not able to show his abilities now. I would like to see this situation from your perspective. What is the problem i mean
how did he disappoint turkey fans? 99 points runner up against a giant titan (2 more points than liverpool against manc back then), and galatasaray has oshimhen as an addition this summer. no one will blame mourinho anyway.
He will succeed somewhere else i dont see ETH turning things around anymore cuz most games we are being dominated his ideas and transfers have failed
Great analysis bro ❤
Wow this is an incredibly well done video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I went back and watched his Ajax games and they executed what you said to the T with less fear and resistance. I’m starting to think it’s a mental issue with these united players.
‘Why Man United still have no tactical identity?’
You should ask Ten Hag yourself Football Meta 😂
Another problem is he's been backed heavily yet still relies on the likes of Maguire, Rashford and Garnacho. His signings have been piss poor tbh. Can't sign a midfielder like Ugarte and expect him to play a style that isn't compatible with his skillset. Same with Casemiro. You should sign players that suit the way you want to play.
And also I keep wondering how tf he got the system to work against City, and why he can't play like that every game
Ten hag just cant get it right with a 'transitional' system.Had he not given up his ajax style and tried implementing it last year,things would have been different for sure
He spend over 600 million and bought almost an entire team of former Ajax players, what’s stopping him?
@@austinwirtz2434 Maybe the lack of the base player for that system to work Frankie de Jong
@@matiasescobar8730 he’s spend over 600 million on players, over 150 on midfielders. If only one player in the world can (maybe) play your system then it just doesn’t work
Tactics on Enzo maresca Chelsea soon? That could be a good video
- Very well respected and "up and coming" manager in 2022.
- Seems right choice "on paper" so Man United get him so that he can get Ole's counter attacking squad play Ajax ball "instantly"
- Realises the squad he has (even with new signings) can't suit a possession style (his original style) after the 4-0 Brentford
- Adapts to the squad and choosing a conservative but solid style playing according to the players' strength
- Has a really good and impactful 1st season showing how a good coach can turn things around.
- Doesn't go back to his orginal ideas at all
- Tries to implement more front-foot tactics from 23/24 which the squad isn't suited to at all since Jose and Ole's reign
- In 23/24, decides to do something which isn't his expertise by saying "We want to become best transition team in the world"
- Doesn't work out from GW 1 but despite lack of personnel and injuries persists with it as "style of play" is imp (Ole was thrown out for that and lack of trophies)
- Wins the Cup and no better manager is available
- Stays in the job and now with a new squad and 6 games in, hasn't been able to bridge that style gap between possession based and transition based.
- The players (not his signings) for whom he choose to go transitional are failing him, in addition to his own tactical flaws.
Ffs even if we bring Zidane, will the fans guarantee him time? Or will he be another bald fraud after 1.5 yrs?
Tuchel or Inzaghi? Will players disrespect him when he shouts to them on the field?
Which players are not his from the last few games?
@@RedrumJester Bruno, rashford, and the youths.
@@tf-ok ok 3 from a nearly 30 man Squad. 10% of Players that Aren‘t „his“. The youth player shouldn’t be even in this conversation, because no head trainer can say that a youth academy is his. I look at the stats and I wonder why he hasn’t been kicked of and give another man a chance. It feels like most Man U players don’t even want ETH anymore imo
@tf-ok He is choosing to play Both Bruno and Rashford even when the form has dropped and the youth has been promoted by him. I don't think "they are not his players" is an excuse we can use. Even if they are his players it does not equal success. I think the video is spot on both the manager and the players share a lot of blame but as a manager regardless of the industry it is your job to find solutions with the tools you have available.
@@Hugabugahugabuga I'm just briefly answering his question, no rhetorical. 3 out of 30 is 10% btw.
Just like last season!
Nowadays you don't do Chelsea analysis it's hurt alot😢
They have a sweeper keeper but they're afraid of balls played behind. Why let go of a shot stopper for a sweeper then ?
Tactics is 1 thing; confidence and chemistry is a 2nd important thing. Winning matches will help building confidence. Losing is ofc will break confidence. ManU is inconsistant, for that means lack of focus and confidence. That is part of the managers doing and also players. Not all, but some players. I do think Ten Hag is on his way out and will not turn the tide. A signal for me is when a coach starts to get more of his players with who he had success with (De Ligt and Mazraoui). Another signal is given by the club; you start looking for another manager and in the end you still sit with the old manager; that is not confidence building. Club leadership is also important in building trust. Every time the job of Ten Hag is on discussion; either by the fans or media. I don't believe it is all peace and quiet within the club, they are not alligned they are in this together for a whole season.
Do a Video for Real Madrid cause they haven’t been convincing at all yet this season
Space: the final frontier
There's some... THING. Out THERE! But.. it never happens.
I thought the space between the midfield and defence already fixed after dropping Maguire lol. Poor Casemiro he didn't deserve the blame in the previous weeks, surely they're gonna blame Ugarte next
Very nice analysis. Bit more entertaining than fans writing in to say if they eth in or out.
Please make a video about psg arsenal match tactics analysis
I think the main issue with United is that we rush our attack when we gain possession of the ball. It's too quick. We need to keep the ball and cherish possession. Too often, we waste possession with a low percentage ball in a transition attack. Instead we should play the high percentage balls, keep possession and use quick short passes to work our way around the opposition into an attack. Once we do this we can dominate the midfield and that's how most games are won or lost.
its a mixture of many things ...sadly the players appear to have downed tools !! which is disgraceful imo!!!
I'm not a tactico or anything but Zirkzee and Fernandez shouldn't play together. They cover the same spaces and have the same playmaker role. Maybe Ten Hag should play Casemiro, Ugarte and Mainoo so Zirkzee can lay deep while funneling Garnacho and Amad into space.
So pretty much the old Bobby firmino system. If they pull it off, well, we say the results of that system lol
Mr. Plz, you ought to begin conducting post-match analysis.
If against twente they did a certain trick , then the could have done the same against spurs . The team is inconsistent and has a problem in mastering there way of playing.
in the game against spurs, they didn't even have any attacking strategy. the midfielders get the ball and just yeet it forwards hoping garnacho or rashford will get to it
Ten hag and Southgate are brothers , aren't they?
It's actually really weird. ETH is a good coach, just one of many in a line of good coaches who have brutally failed as Man United manager. Their players are good too, Rashford, Zirkzee, Casemiro, De Ligt, Martinez, Onana and Højlund, all of these players are actually really, really good. It makes no sense, there's something really rotten going on to make Man United look like this
YES.. he is a good coach....but the question is does he have the tactical identity?
You cannot have a cohesive press with players like rashford, Bruno, garnacho & zirzkee as the front 4
You can only play one at once
As none of them track back or press
Bruno runs around like a headless chicken but is extremely ill disciplined tactically
So it’s no wonder every team by passes our midfield like it’s not there
Please make video about Chelsea next
The players are throwing him under the bus, just like they did to Ole and Mourinho
What makes a coach continue with a system that is clearly not working?
Why?? ETH is why.
I'm waiting video about Chelsea 😢
The volume in this video is way too low. Ads startle because i have to raise the sound to max
I heard Robbie Savage repeat this analysis word for word yesterday…. interesting
One thing I have noticed about eth is that his tactics are not consistent e doesn't have a footprint of the players, when united play composed and Mobile team they tend to shove their tail in their asses, he doesn't take the play to composed opponent and when he plays small teams dey control they game for some moments until the other gets composed for 30 mins and dey concede
When dey concede now the problem begins, they start forcing long balls and play wrong passes al this from the team captain especially
But Mark Goldbridge tells his viewers that it's the players fault. When it's clear as day that along with the players, the tactics don't work.
He has videos litterly entitled sack ten haag... What shite are you talking about
@@abcdefg3214 you then don't watch the podcast, you probably didn't watch the video you're mentioning. That shit was a clickbait. While he does agree that ETH messed up he still is firm on the fact that it was the players fault. The preview to Porto match he starts with don't start XYZ players. Go do your bit of research.
@@abcdefg3214 The titles are clickbait nor really his opinion a lot of the times he has a different opinion to the titles also the sack ten hag titles will probably have a question mark at end of it anyway.
Can you please analyse South African teams?
Wait until Antony removes his limit break string and starts scoring hatricks
can you do a video on maresca tactics?
Why is the gap between the lines so huge? Martínez and De Ligt are good at defending high.
Intelligent movement....that's really it. Ten Hag is touted as a positional manager when he is in fact a relationist. Just watch his Ajax teams. My issue is with people trying to place all the faults on him. 3 players could have stopped Van de Ven. Dalot could have followed Johnson. They were all right there and didn't.
He should just do like Ole, good old kick’n’rush.
Gets the job done 👏
@@Ligmaballzallthetime I actually miss seeing such a match, a target man, a smaller striker and speedy wingers.
We need to make bro our coach ASAP!!😅
Aren't you tired Man U fans. Of teams just walking past us easily. Even the weak teams play like the big two when playing against us
United fans have become morons in the last couple of years, ever since Ole they became mediocre fans... 🤷 Just one victory against a nobody team is enough to please them, just one carabao cup is enough to make them endure another year failures they have become weak, they are so desperate that they will take anything and it's so pathetic to watch... 🤦
Because we have a spineless, stubborn and arrogant manager who clearly has no idea what the hell he is doing.
Can you do a tactics on maresca
I am FC Porto fan and I can say, we maybe saved Ten Hag's carreer
When Arteta first came they were still a banter team but they did play consistently the same style. ETH still hasn't found a style
Could you make a video on Bodø glimt cause they constantly beat historic European teams
Rashford, Bruno, Garnacho, Antony, Mount and Diallo all need to be replaced. In regards to Garnacho and Diallo, I don't think they need to be sold, they should be the rotation options at this point in their careers. I honestly think we're 3 or so players away from being a dangerous team, fans just need to be patient and UA-camrs need to stop exploiting the club!
True, although I disagree with some things you said mostly yes you're right it's like the media wants the manager to get sacked more than the plastic and toxic fans
If you get rid of all those players you're 3 players away from being a dangerous 5 a side team. I've never seen a fanbase to a 'big' team with such a victim mentality
@@DjDolHaus86 acting big when you're currently not is the biggest hindrance to success mate
@@MK12275 I think being financially successful is part of your problem. You're never going to be forced into the position of being humbled and having to grow a team of relative nobodies into a cohesive unit because you can always throw 100m at the next big thing in the hopes they'll fix everything.
Amad is their best attacker wdym
Consistently getting trophies unlike Arsenal
Signing of de ligt was a really poor profiling. Bad on the ball and likes being the last player of the defense, just like lisandro. They needed a dominant but good reader in the defense to jump out and put pressure on attackers. Ten hags profiling is really bad
3 years of no compactness 😂
The same thing is always there, Man Utd front 4 aren't capable of pressing, both physically and mentally, 442 pressing line-up, Fernandes: weak, slow, Zirkzee: slow, Rashford: fast, weak, and lazy, Garnacho: fast, weak, hard-working. Basically, you need 4 hard-working physical players to high-press. Also, EtH's press tactic has huge loopholes, you have to push forward 1 of your 4 defenders to match the mid-field number, there's no way 2 forwards can mark 3 opponents, including GK, that's 4 vs 2. That's why there're more teams using 352 or 343 to press.
I just hope man utd brings in Simeone Inzaghi as rumored.
I feel like players are just too lazy to press
I'm a Manchester United fan and a Nigerian 😂😢😢
Best depressing combination 😂😂
Can you pls do byern munich vs aston villa🙏🙏🙌
which software do you use for this tactical board?
Ten hag's only tactic is "Stick to the plan" 😂
I noticed that gap at 2:32
With 1 extra man out they will always be a gap
The first goal coceded was pure licha's mistake of passing the ball to United player....he passed the ball to give an assist for spurs player..do you think ETH commanded him to do that??if he passed the ball correctly to United player..that won't be an assist to spurs..down by 1-0 at half time down to 10 men..what could you do in second half???
These problems aren’t just this match and haven’t just been licha they been here since last season at some point it can’t be only on individuals
ETH needs to go. Too many managers have gotten it right in their 1st season. I still dont know what ETH is trying to play
I just dont get why ten hag still doesn't have a style of play, he must know its important 🤔
The Liverpool and Spurs game are outliers. They did not have these problems in the other games.
Ten hag tactics are help the opponent to win
Looks like TH is over complicating things
wow such a good video. you are a genius my nigga
I need a tactics on real madrid gameplay
I need a video about JUVENTUS
ETH must try to copy de zerbi style of play
If you were the man United coach what tactics do you think you would implement with those players ? Just asking to see people’s ideas
Bar spurs you can see the tactics. Maybe they just don’t work with these players. United play exactly the same way as Liverpool but with players that are settled.
it is not hard to understand. The tactic is right but the efforts are not there.
