If your tactic is "Do not concede or Do not lose" first then when you concede yu have to change things. That was what happened vs Palace, That offensive football Mourinho didnt want to play, the scoreline forced him to play it

Look at most of your games, you start slow, no pressing at all, if you are fortunate to score first then you try to slow down the game further and catch the opponent on counter

In cases where opponent score first you now see a renewed tactic and the team will come out aggressively, some times its too late

e.g vs City, you started lazily no pressure, City scores, Man Utd decides to press them and they get a goal, immediately they went back to sleeping. Same thing yesterday same thing vs Chelsea last week, Personnel wise, your team is superior to every team in the league why not deploy tactics that will make you dominant in every game

The way you pressed Palace in the last 35mins, thats the way teams like Liverpool and City press their opponent for 90mins

Probably thats why all your creative players are struggling, Pogba Sanchez Martial Mata Rashford have been below their best lately. They cannot all be lazy,

In addition to my last entry, Neville said something few weeks back which I agree with. He said something like United doesn't need to buy all the top players to be great again, that what we need is for Mourinho to create an ideantity out of this team FIRST AND FOREMOST, and the add one or two additions and the team is back in business.

I agree with him, because this team have no identity yet. We look clueless till we're losing. What Pep did last season was to bring a style he wanted for his players. He went about impacting that knowledge in them. He gave them the identity he wants them to operate under, sold off the wastes that couldn't play like he did, bought the players he wanted and made them play with the style he'd already taught most of the team. What we see now is an unstoppable machine. If we like we can buy Dybala and even Neymar join. As long as Mourinho has not laid a successful pattern for the team to operate with, we're going nowhere.

well this is an interesting angle, you may be right.

Why I dont want to dwell on it is because some people might start getting defensive and think I mean Peps way is the only way to play football. But if you have a strong side like Man utd they should be playing better

Peps team play like the ball belongs to them and you have no right to be in possesion at all.

Look at this screenshot froma friendly with Man Utd. You can see the number of City players in Man utd half even before the halfway line. So they basically brought the fight to your doorstep and any mistake here is more costly to Man Utd since its closer to your goal than to Citys

This is why it looks like City creates like 10 chances per game because of the way they press. When Man Utd is down and desperate you see them play like this too. But why wait until you are down and desperate

Look at this screenshot look at how like 8 City players in Man Utds half and Man Utd has 9 which have a low tolerance for a misplaced pass

Thats the type of tactics Klopp also use that makes his players look better than they actually are

I agree with you 101%. Truer words have never been spoken. Pep Guardiola's teams, be it Barcelona, Bayern or City, will attack you from the first minute to the end with endless waves of pressing. By doing so, they get all the possession, put their opponents under pressure, neutralise their attacking threats. They don't relax by waiting to counter their opponents like United did against City, they relax by HOLDING THE BALL AND PASSING IT AROUND BEAUTIFULLY like against Chelsea. This way, they won't stand the chance of conceding, rather they toy with their opponents and if chance develops, they score more and more. That's why Pep said he'll retire if he stops playing attacking football.

I get really pissed that with all the pace and attacking threats we have, Mourinho will set up my team to defend and then hope for a lucky chance to score, or wait till they're losing before attacking. It's annoying. We had to be losing before Mourinho realised his mistake and attacked with vigour yesterday. It's up to Mourinho to force them to attack from the beginning till end, any player that can't adhere to his tactic, off he goes.

Dayo is very intelligent and can actually be objective whenever he feels like it except when his village people visit him from ogbomosho and he start saying some insane things or doing apple and oranges comparisons.

In the last 2 games he was able to score when you were attacking and not when you were parking the bus. Basically Strikers perform better when the entire team is attacking
