See below what a manager with tactical approaches to games said: Allegri - It was important against Manchester United to keep the ball to ground and attack around Nemanja Matic https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1035631/Manchester-United-news-Juventus-Massimiliano-Allegri-Nemanja-Matic-Champions-League |

elampiro: We could've gotten Mahrez/Shaqiri for that RW but Jose preferred Sanchez to come upset the Martial/Rashford resurgence we started seeing from October '17- January '18,, he got Sanchez just so City won't get him.. Such an insecure biatchhh of a manager always starting games on the defensive.. Is it the great players that'll tell Lukaku to stop withdrawing to the center circle before we start trying to win back possession?? Our wing and forward players always backpedal into our half especially during first half of games before they try win back possession.. See Pjanic Bentacur Matuidi midfield outplaying us like it was prime Xavi Iniesta and Zidane rolling back the years.. This is the third year and we're still on ifs and or buts despite the transfer windows we've had?? Egbon Elampawa what is the color of Mourinhos problem gangan tell us.. 4 Likes |

patrickmuf: Your second to the last paragraph is the truth.. Due to the negative setup of the team by the coach of course,, these guys would have to drop deep to pick up the ball and then run a thousand miles trying to beat two three men at a go before ever getting into a threatening position.. 80% of our goals this season na either from set piece or team error or individual brilliance or a combination of all three elements.. Can't remember the last time this team combined from defence to attack for a brilliantly executed goal.. It's not even about winning or losing,, it's about actually playing football mhen.. 3 Likes |

Stupid Mourinho will tell his players to man mark opponent players. Smart opposing managers will tell their players to go wide, so there is space for unmarked players to take advantage of. Yesterday, the gap between Lindelof and Smalling was massive, because they were man marking, while Matic couldnt catch up with a small, fast Dybala when Juve attacked man utd, and no one else can mark Dybala because man utd players must man mark! Dybala had two clear-cut chances because he was faster than Matic and was able to run into spaces created by our central defenders

raumdeuter: They have players who help them to easily regain possession. Most importantly, they have players who can keep the ball even while attacking and dribbling. For instance, William and Hazard are more likely to safely keep the ball longer than Martial and Rashford. |

patrickmuf: Ask yourself how they beat Valencia in Spain with ten men. You have to start from defence, Juve have a stable defence than United. Secondly, Juve has dominated their opponents this season. They appear faster than every team they have played against. |

nitrogen: The problem with our midfield is that Pogba and Matic despite being very good are usually slower than their opponents. These are not direct players. United will need a third midfielder who can quickly penetrate tight areas in the opposition half. Pogba is a world class of his own, but he needs a very fast and direct midfielder beside him. Matic is the ball winner and hardly loses possession, but he is very very slow. When you add Luke Shaw who is more likely to pass to Linderlof or Matic instead of pushing forward, you can see why our opponents easily regroup before we get to their final third. You need players to implement a tactics. If it were just about tactics, new coaches would not be buying players. Even Guardiola bought many players despite inheriting a team that finish in UCL semi final |

Adisaowalla: How much and how long did Man City spend before they could win league in 2011? Our team crumbled after SAF left, and we have been rebuilding which has not yet worked. Sacking coach every two years will mean that we are going to be like Liverpool that didn't win EPL in about 30 years. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:35pm On Oct 24, 2018 |
Who is counting Mata as a player to be banked on? 30 years old player. Even when he was 24 years old, he could not push Chelsea to EPL title. That UCL won was more of a very hard collective effort with world class defending and counter attacking football led by Ramires. 1 Like |

nitrogen: The man marking has been our trademark for a long time even before Mourinho came. We have suffered from set play because of man marking, and I remember suggesting many years ago we do zonal marking from set play. I see some top teams do it. We can even combine both. To me, if you are evenly spread in your box, you will be able to read the flight of the ball better and clear. But when man marking, you chase players about and lose sight of the ball. On the above goal, Matic made a mistake by not following Dybala closely enough. At one point Matic reduced his speed thinking the ball will be cleared. These kind of things make Carrick to be the most intelligent DM we have had. I wish we have a player like Dybala or Mbappe on our right side. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:51pm On Oct 24, 2018 |
Khaytunechi: It is when Mourinho leaves this team he would have the opportunity to tell the world how he was frustrated in the transfer market. Take it or leave it, these team doesn't have the quality of Juventus and other top teams of Europe. To begin with, when last did a United player win the PFA player of the season? One player can change the atmosphere in a club. We don't yet have that player that when you run into trouble, just give him the ball and let him open so much space and gaps in opposition defence. For instance Hazard. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:02pm On Oct 24, 2018 |
One thing about this thread is that there is always a generally held opinion. Once the opinion gains ground, almost 90% buy into it and that is the end. Like this Mourinho's sack. Not really different from the two previous managers sacked. The general opinion currently building now is the criticism of Lukaku. About 70% are already on this ship. Recently, some were going to start criticizing Ashley Young just because of their love for Shaw on the LB position. Even when Young was posting a MOTM performance against Chelsea, someone still find a way to rubbish him. I heard Neville said he was the MOTM. Is it that some people don't watch matches, they only read comments on this thread or they cannot form individual opinion? |

elampiro:Is Valencia a top team? That they managed to leave Old Trafford with a point is a negative testimony to where we are presently. Juventus have a stable defence yes but how about the midfield? Is Pjanic, Bentacur and Matuidi better than Pogba, Matic and Mata? No...So why were we dominated? Simple, tactical set up, Cancel was advancing at every opportunity along with Sandro who was surprising a bit conservative in the process stretching our midfield. Up front, Dybala and Ronaldo choosed their moment to get into the box, they spent the entirety of the match on the wings and through the AM position dragging our CBs all over the place and in process distorting our defensive shape...This is tactics. What was our own game plan? Pass to Martial and hope he does something out of the ordinary or wait for a moment of brilliance from Pogba. When last did you watch our game wherein you saw a move and knew a goal was in the offing? I bet you can't remember. We have the team to outplay Juventus but we don't have a coach who is positive with his approach. 1 Like |
