  • On this week's episode of The Breakdown, brought to you by Sky Bet, we took a close look at why Manchester United have struggled so much in the bigger games this season.
    Do you think Erik ten Hag can turn his fortunes around this season to ensure he’s in the dugout at Old Trafford next season or do you think his replacement under the new sporting leadership is almost inevitable?

    It's all fine and well if formations and tactics determine why United struggle, but the fact is it's always the effort, or complete lack thereof. Talent doesn't exist without effort, as Roy once talked about before about Paul Pogba. Work ethic is the most fundamental basis of how a team is built.

    When you see the gap between United's backline and forward line, you'll immediately understand why United lack the ability to control games. That is fully on the manager. Ten Hag should decide whether he wants to play a high line and high press or low block. You can't play both at the same time.

    • @714Wajihali
      @714Wajihali Před měsícem +1

      If you play a low block you must build from the wings which is tough to do when you don't have a left back. If you drop the press you allow your opposition too much time on the ball eventually leading to chances and your players tiring out more. United High expectations mean that ten hag has to get out of every match with a win without a set of players that can barely compete on the highest level. When he feels that pressure and the weight of the expectations you see it in his tactics and that's been the case for every manager in the last 10 years. The board needs to recognise that they need to let go of expectations to win every match no matter what the fans say and build from scratch or were screwed. The only thing abt united that's united is the badge. Everything else is gone and same should be the case with ridiculous expectations

    Its not just the big games thou is it. Every game united struggle to keep possession, when the opposition break its so easy for them to bypass the midfield and get ar our defence, were conceding around 20+ shots a game just lately. There's no control, no disapline, no structure to what were trying to do from game to game looks like a bunch of strangers on the pitch. Dont know if its the coaching setup, the players or if thats how the manger wants to setup but big changes need to happen
