How does this connect with the argument about Tottenham vs United?

Today's game is a different thing, same with Spurs Westham when Mourinho dominated possession in a different tactics.

In the time of Nigeria quest for world cup qualification and Tunidia 1994, Ivory Coast had the best midfield build up play in Africa. What Westerhof did was to wait for them at the back, then we we had the ball, we send a long pass to the strikers cutting off the midfield we were inferior.

Another tactics was Ferguson chocking the midfield against Arsenal and thereby preventing their build up play. So we hit them mostly on the counter.

These are tactics that not everyone can understand

It seems you don't get what they are trying to say, or may be you are one of those that are too stubborn to accept a superior argument.

In case the former is the case, let me educate you again.

In our match against Tottenham, mourinho tactics of packing the bus didn't work because despite playing low block against us, we were still cutting them open at the back at will, recording a high shot on target, but our strikers weren't clinical enough.

In summary, we didn't win the match not because of mourinho tactics,( because from the stats and me watching the game, that tactics didn't work) but because our strikers were not clinical on the day.

Good game overall. Matic would win man of the match for me if Martial had not scored 3. A faultless performance from him.


Shaw was very good too. Rashford needs to lace his scoring boots and drop those ones he’s wearing.


City should complete the Lord’s work tomorrow Abeg. GGMU.

Leyqute be like na Maguire turn up today. Dem no allow Magwaya enter stadium

nitrogen:


Which kind wahala be this?

I no lie na

raumdeuter:

vs Cotedvoire, Nigeria was having more shots on goal same thing Ferguson vs Arsenal
The tactics no one can understand is to deliberately allow your opponent to have numerous shots on your goal and plan with their attackers to be missing it like vs Tottenham

Against a superior opponents, it is allowed. That is what we had in Spurs vs United, Barca vs Inter, Barca vs Chelsea

GloryIsaac:


Everyone knows that good tactics can win a match.

What is being pointed out here is that Spurs draw with United was not down to Mourinho’s gameplan, rather bluffs from Rashford and Martial.

Today’s game proves that. Rashford missed two glorious chances, assuming Martial didn’t score a hat trick and United drew, will one say it’s because of Sheffield’s tactician?

Or the coach had time to study Man United style of play, that’s why Rashford was missing clear chances?

Any coach that has to rely on bluffs from opposing attackers to squeeze out a good result is simply having faith, not tactics.

It was down to his game plan. Missed chances are part of football. Spurs reduced United to really no clear cut chance. If the tactics was weak, United would have scored after the missed chance as they did today

Lana1:
Was nice to not have to rely on Bruno or Pogba for the goals. Sometimes, the forwards also need to step up

Really nice. Also, the entire match was a collective team effort. Bruno wasn't the focal point like when he first joined and everything good had to pass through him. I enjoyed today's game because there was a collective quality on display, no be say one person go play better ball, another go dey jones.

This is a vastly inferior argument than mine. United did not cut Spurs open any shit. Go and see Barca vs Chelsea and Barca vs Inter. This are tactics employed against a superior team. Missed chances are part of football, only when the opponent gain advantage that the tactics is failing then you fall to plan B. But United never gained advantage.

Are you educated now?

How is Man Utd a superior opponent to Spurs? How many times has Man Utd finished above Spurs in the league recently

Leyqute:


Matic especially. Coordinated play and connected defense and midfield perfectly.

Fantastic performance from him. It’s just his old legs. He can only play like this once in a while.

Is there a like-for-like Matic replacement in any team? His game today was top notch. Playing as DMF no be by running round the whole field jare.

Man Utd had more clear cut chances than Spurs

Lol. See slight dig at Fred

Prectega:

I see people giving him a rating of 9 and e tire me

That guy lost more balls than the whole army of the unsullied

Leyqute:
LMAO.

Brandon should start getting minutes, he's far more fluid and adventurous than Luke.

Even AWB has better attacking play than Shaw.

elampiro:

Record after 3 months without football?

Good win... Match sharpness coming thru with each game.

Lol, I completely agree. Accuracy is not there jare. Anyway, he is a good player. He just needs to calm down when playing.

Pogba na Chairman sha!

Non of our back 4 is a runner. I fear for counter attack from our opponents.

Bruno is a great player imo
I love his level of awareness

But POGBA is nobody's mate

I think the reason OGS keeps playing L. Shaw is because he’s a leftie. B. Williams offers more.

Isn't Williams a leftie too?
