It feels like I'm watching late-stage Van Gaal's team and not just because the manager is Dutch. When they have the ball there's no middle ground between slow passes across the back-line and speculative long bombs across the field or down the lines. The players are clogging up the middle of the pitch when they have the ball, and spreading wide when they don't - fullbacks seemingly inverting just because everyone else is doing it, rather than because there's a plan or capacity to do anything once they're there. On the rare occasion the ball does end up with one of the wingers (Rashford and Antony for most of the season), they dribble down a blind alley and try to beat 6 players on their own, more often than not leading to a turnover. If they do manage to keep the ball it's then either a low percentage shot that ends up going 2-3m wide of the left post, or an attempted cross that goes 5m over everyone's head and out for a throw-in on the far side. There's no attempt whatsoever at subtlety or craft and instead just going for brute force at all times. I've watched a lot of poor United games over the last 30-odd years (often at 3am in the morning), and yet this current way of playing is truly making me question whether it's worth watching. That last half season under Van Gaal was the only other time in my life when I've experienced that feeling, and it very much feels like this is heading down the same path.

if Ten hag was a hipster favourite he would have gotten far more stick by now but its finally coming

It was only 4 months ago that most pundits said Ten Hag had improved Utd, as well as individual players, and made impressive in game tactical changes. Tifo itself has had several videos on how Utd will play under Ten Hag, how he has improved/fixed Utd. Yet this video and few pundits seem able to address whether Ten Hag is suddenly now a poor manager, tactically naive etc and what has changed. Is it just the injuries, is it to be seen as a blip, or was the original take by most pundits on Ten Hag completely wrong?

The original take was not completely wrong. He did perform well last season becoming third in the league. While it's true manu are struggling with many other issues at the moment Ten Hag has still made mistakes in my opinion. He's forcing this possesion based football and high line pressing tactics this season and it's not working at all. Manchester united's best players are good at sitting in a low block and playing counter attacking football, it's how they won against Manchester City last derby. Also some of his signings have failed (Antony, mason mount, Onana).

The problem is to play Ten Hag's way in the Premier League you need exceptional footballers which Utd do not have. Ten Hag should design a tactic that suits the players he has. Plus, if the team is making bad decisions in the final third that's down to Ten Hag and what he is, or is not, training the team to do... Ten Hag should stop blaming the players and do what he is paid to do, get results any which way he can, including dropping his footballing vision and adapting to a more practical style of play that suits his player's abilities, at least until he can put together the team he needs to play his preferred tactics.

Bad on the ball and off the ball. On the ball: No pattern, method, identity. All idividuality, no collective, no team work. Off the ball: Bad press and bad block. The press doesn't work hard, and works individually and not coordinated. The block is easily pulled out off possition. This is on the manager and coaching, the players, or both. If it's the players, the manager can't do anything, and even Klopp would be helpless.

This reminds me of liverpool 20/21 where the defense was wrecked by injuries to the centre backs and liverpool played dms (fabinho and henderson) in cb spots and it just made the team imbalanced.

Insane how we can not string more than 5 passes together. Long ball is not the only way to quickly transition. In fact it’s the lowest probability way to transition successfully. Klopp never does this. We are basically playing Sean Dyche ball. And not well.

For an amateur like me this man to man marking feels a lot like Leeds when they were not able to carry Bielsa’s instructions. It’s got to be stubborn as a manager but when your team can’t press after 18 months under you, players like Rashford can’t be bothered, either change the players or change the system. When we went down to 10 men, should’ve gone back 5 and dig in for a draw and maybe a lucky counter.

Very keen to hear John M on this topic after he backed Utd to finish second this season.

Ten Haag will be lucky to see Christmas unless things improve massively

Just a thought midway through the Onana kick map but I think it would help to put up numbers to accompany a pass map like this so you can show % of successful long balls v short balls when that's essentially what's being discussed

They interestingly also play fewer fouls than the rest of the league. Considering how often they are found running behind the action this would be imperative to do though.

0:34 "..their non-penalty xG [10.4] puts them level with West Ham, which tells us they're not creating enough chances [11th in the xG table]..." Arsenal are in 10th place for xG with 10.8 but are joint 2nd in the league table by a single point. Are Arsenal not creating enough chances? Is xG not really relevant to show in isolation without xGA?

The tactics board setup. Does it have a function to select all or a select a group of players on the same team? I think that function would be nice when you explain counters and transitions. Just a thought.

The analysis is pretty spot on. I notice our inability to quickly move the ball out of the back in every game. The ball keeps moving between Onana, Lindelof, and Varane. Casemiro is always blocked by multiple players and doesn't make any movement to be in a better position to receive the ball. We need to move the ball faster and drop in more players from midfield to create an overload.

@sihlebebeza2323

8 ай бұрын

Every team that plays from the back has a DM that has good technique on the ball, being able to wriggle out of pressure. Casemiro doesn't have that, which is why he doesn't scan around him that much. It also seems like he has lost his legs. I have a feeling he would have been dropped a while back if we didn't have the injuries we have - Mainoo would've come in and played in a double pivot with Amrabat. We'd have more legs and energy in midfield. Cas seems slow to react to danger, much like Fred and Scot.

The biggest criticizism I can do to Ten Hag is that he should probably be a bit more flexible with tactics because transition and long passes has never been a good way to attack a low block, like ever.

I just want to write this before even watching the video. Last year De Gea have made the same stupid pass to Eriksen and you made him spitroasted the entire season. Onana comes and makes the exact same thing. The only difference is Casemiro was more aware and saved the goal by getting sent off. As I have the opportunity to get the attention, I am adding a long edit. The edit: You have beaten the sht out of Ronaldo because he wouldnt press and your front 3 (sometimes 4) will be on an island because when the first line of press was broken they wouldnt jog back (By the way I also didnt like Ronaldo playing and thought he was a terrible role model for everyone involved.). So you put Rashford in front and get some guys who will jog back and added a defensive anchor and a player who can progress the ball without losing it so often. You play alright and get in to top 4 (Well done.). Then you buy Hojlund, who can press willingly. But to accomodate him you need to put Rashford on the left side again. And now, you are having the same issues. When the first line of press was beaten you have 8 opposition players running at your 6 players. If you try to keep a compact low block you will never getting that ball back and a good passing team is whipping you for 90 minutes. If you try to play man to man you got turned into a piece of gruyere. I also think the team is on one if its lowest points right now and will be better when Shaw is back to fitness. But I also think Man U. replaced panic buys with well scouted buys over panicked deductions, and they dont think of what will happen afterwards when they try to solve a problem. Response for people saying De Gea did more mistakes: When they got Onana people said that he is a worse shot stopper but he wouldnt make these mistakes. And for the last season I would say De Gea was demoralized by the huge criticism because he was basically played out of position and you need to adapt for a season or two to be able to play that role and he wasnt given the time. Further edit: It seems like De Gea had his contract ran down. So the same as I suggested but the mainline of my statement was to have a gk grow into the position in time. I am saying spending 50M€ for not an improvement should be out of question for Man U. because they needed so many outfield players to fill the gaps that already exist in the team building.

I think transition or counter attacking tactics are hard because u get fewer chances and also more pressure on u to make the right choice when u break, because if ur too slow then theres no point of the break cuz everyone is back now. But when ur ange or pep, u press high and keep trying to get thru low block and theres less pressure because u create more chances

Good point! I think we need a few games defending and pressing from a 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 mid-block structure. The high press cannot work because we don't have the pace in defence to push the defensive line into the opposition half and compact the space that way. The back four need more protection because too many players are out and they get exposed every week, then the midfielders get exposed because they have such a massive zone to cover.

I think they would be better as a counter-attacking team. Playing as a defensive 7 man block and 3 upfront just loitering. Also they need a decent keeper.

There's at least 100 teams in Europe with better ball usage than Manchester United. This goes back to the Mourinho era. We seem to hire managers who are stuck in the pre-Pepcelona era. How ten Hag managed to fall into that category is just our luck. He's otherwise also a very poor decision maker.

With this I guarantee as well that we would not have conceded those Brighton goals. I feel we are putting an unnecessary man in that attack especially if we're playing long balls both Rasmus and Rashy alone can break opposition's line easily without the extra man in the middle.

Stats aside looking at the matches you can clearly see that the CBs seem to press forwards leaving huge holes behind. And when they dont press nobody tracks runners at DMF position.

Both the confidence and hunger matters. As mentioned in video, the press is not one unit, tension is not there, man to man press need to be one unit and aggressive. It’s like the liverpool last season, front line press lost its intensity, middle field cannot held, then dropped defence leaves too much space.

10:58 in Casimero's defence, it's not exactly a trap I would say, as to the reason he has stepped up to the defender, but is rather due to Mitoma being such a threat that you have to try to prevent his receiving the ball. This is why McTominay is looking for a chance to intercept or to double-team Mitoma. Mitoma is too good to allow a 1v1 situation. So Casimero has stepped up to try to allow McTominay the ability to help mark-out Mitoma.

Other than the tactical problems out of possession it is also a problem that some of the Man Utd player just do not have the athleticism and/ or willingness to cover distances and press agressively.

If the team is not shifting over (e.g., Mount 8:25), then the players are not doing what they are supposed to do, and it isn't exactly Ten Hag's tactics that are the problem.

If Fernandes doesn’t track imagine the other side of the field

The Glazers are thinking about selling. So they are running the club on life support. The squad is filled with free transfers and loans and overinflated academy players.

Except pretty much every time Maguire has played for Ten Hag, we have won comfortably with lots of clean sheets and lots of goals scored.

During the dark days during which Steve Bruce was in charge of Newcastle I saw an analysis show on which Eddie Howe, of all people, at that time unemployed, explain why Newcastle's tactics in the previous few matches were naive, primarily because he was playing a 442 diamond. Now, it was a particularly strange 442 diamond in which he had the strikers split so that we had strikers playing on the wing, central midfielders playing as strikers and wingers playing fullback...it still makes me cringe to remember it. The main point of the analysis was this....442 diamond was a formation that he, Eddie Howe, would only use for brief intervals during a match when one needed to try and take control of the midfield, but that he'd never start in it, especially not for several games in a row as Bruce just had, culminating in an awful loss to Chelsea which they used to graphically aid his analysis, because the formation has some obvious inherent weaknesses for the opponent to exploit. Mainly the fact that our fullbacks were easily doubled up on in wide areas forcing midfielders to waste energy going out and in all match in a vain attempt to cover them. How nice to see the current Man U boss has seemingly the same tactical nouse as their club icon Steve Bruce. Perhaps he should be their next boss. :)

City will never be respected. No matter how many trophies you have, you’ll always be an oil club. Been more than 10 years and still don’t have enough plastic fans to fill up your small quiet stadium. You better hope that when pep leaves, you have enough tools to remain relevant cuz if you’re barely relevant with all these titles, imagine without it. How useless and forgetful.

​@@wespicedmemes Cry more 😂I'm interested in winning, I don't want to be respected. I want to be hated as we keep winning, with our without Pep. We won with Mancini, we are winning with Pep, and we'll continue to win, while the lesser team of Manchester will continue to make people laugh.

So it is just 2 small issues. 1. They are not good out of possession 2. They are not good in possession. Simple.

first choice defensive pairing not available, fresh injuries every week and bruno and rashford who dont seem to be interested in pressing properly at all. there's a reason why we looked better against palace when the 2 of them were rested.
