The Tactics Show: Aerial Problems and Too Many Crosses

विवरण

#1035 | Ed and Dharnish break down United's 2-0 defeat at Hull on the tactics show. Some of this was physical. Four starters had played one 90 or fewer all pre-season, and the lack of sharpness showed. But a lot of it was tactical too. Why was Bruno under-par and has the reaction been over the top? How do Tielemans and Bruno better dovetail in future? What were United doing with their possession game? How did Hull force United wide and into playing aimless crosses? Why are United having problems with physicality and aerial duels? There’s a cautiously optimistic look ahead to Ipswich: trust the system, cut down the aimless crossing and give the new midfield time to settle. 0:00 Intro and agenda 1:28 First reactions: bullied by Hull 3:43 Bruno Fernandes' performance 9:28 Hull forcing United wide 17:28 Solutions: overloads and switches 20:53 Aerial duels and United's size problem 23:06 How much should we panic? 25:59 Outro --- Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?
