Hi Box to Box, What do you think has changed tactically with Bruno under Erik compared to when Ole was manager as I felt under Ole we didn’t have a structure and the players seemed to have a lot of freedom on the pitch as whenever we went 1-0 down we would somehow win the game most of the time.
Looking back, Bruno under Ole had a lot of burden to carry since United during that tenure had gaping holes when it comes to their possession play. Pogba, Maguire, and De Gea can be vulnerable from the opposition's pressing schemes in the deeper areas, forcing Bruno to drop deep in order to address the problems in their buildup. Under Erik, the burden is slowly being addressed given Ten Hag's philosophy and personnel. Some players like Onana can launch long balls as an added weapon for United, and having players like Mainoo and Eriksen to support Bruno has really benefitted him.
@@Box-to-BoxInvestigator I understand what your saying however your comments seem to suggest that Bruno is doing better under Erik, however based on what I can see Bruno has not been performing well under Erik. He is always giving the ball away and is nowhere near the goal when he receives the ball . How is Kobbie helping Bruno as his performances aren’t getting better? Also could you do a tactical analysis video for the Chelsea vs Liverpool game next week talking about the tactics both teams used to win the game and how they can improve their tactics depending on who loses the game?
You actually nailed a really good point because it can be argued that Bruno's playstyle contradicts Ten Hag's approach. Bruno is renowned for his risky long passes, which is the opposite of Ten Hag's possession-oriented gameplan. Kobbie together with Garnacho would actually lessen the burden from Bruno in progressing the ball as they can offer some needed penetration. As for the Chelsea-Liverpool game, I'll see what I can do as I'll be on vacation during the week.
@@Box-to-BoxInvestigator Yes actually that is true. Do you think Ten Hag is just adapting his playstyle to traditional football as he has players like Bruno who cannot keep the ball? Also what are your thoughts on Chelsea from a tactical perspective on and off the ball? As a lot of people are talking about Enzo not being close to Caicedo in the build up phases. Also I’m not sure if you would agree with this but I felt when Poch was at Tottenham his team wasn’t very good at breaking teams down and what made Tottenham so good was their off the ball work and when their pressing structure wasn’t working they had nothing to fall back on as a lot of the time I felt someone like Erikson would produce magic to get Tottenham over the line when they couldn’t break teams down would you agree?
In my opinion, Ten Hag is adapting to the playstyle of United's current personnel. As for Chelsea, their current setup has promise but they need some reinforcements that could address some problems in their buildup. Enzo for example is a really good passer from distance and he even manages to play well upfront, to the point where Poch encourages him to move further upfield. Having another CM who can play like him from behind will definitely help Enzo and Chelsea reach a different level. For Poch and Tottenham, you raise a good point since Poch's Spurs have always been renowned for their high pressing schemes which has worked its wonders in generating goal scoring opportunities, however there were games which does showcase Spurs breaking down the opposition all thanks to Dele Alli and the fullbacks. There were games which felt like Eriksen would have to carry the burden, because Poch encourages Eriksen to be very fluid and active with his movements, given his well-rounded offensive game.
