Love the video as always AJ, keep up the great work. Amorim changed the game with his subs and the timing of them. That was great to see. My opinions: Rasmus is our best attacker just needs better service and players close to him. Amad can be world class but need time and patience to develop but signs are good. Onana isn't that bad, he just needs to work on his composure. De ligt will be a rock for us for the next 5ish years. Nous is absolutely class, i can't speak his praise enough. I hope we find more players in his mold. Martinez is my favourite player but has been off but i believe he will be back. Rashford has been poor and i think its time to move on, great memories but we need to move forward. Bruno is good but needs to calm down 😂 Zrikzee is too technical and i mean he is too comfortable because of how good he is on the ball and it seems to slow him down a bit. Garnacho has good enough but needs to work of his footballing IQ. Diogo has been poor but i have faith he can make it work.
Great Video AJ! I'm seriously looking forward to see how Hojlund is going to affect the tide of future games. Amad is class, I love watching him play, and can honestly see him only getting better, he just has that spiritual element and composure that I appreciate a lot. Onana... Oh man... I just want him to get his act together and not make as many mistakes, I'm not a football player, much less a goal keeper, I'm sure he is more well informed about his job than I am, but I still can't help but feel some of his mistakes just come from a lack of good judgement and, sometimes, some lack of attention, otherwise, the skill is absolutely there (we've seen it in past games), and honestly, I really appreciate his mental fortitude, even after suffering some embarrassing moments, he tries to maintain his composure and his team's morale. As for the rest of the players, I won't say much yet, just that Zirkzee is by far the most interesting player on the team for me personally, I just think he's a bit slow, like a blue wale, beautiful, but slow, I can't help but smile every time he gets the ball and tries to do something outlandish. It's funny how, regardless of the deteriorated state of MU, and despite some of the losses, accompanying this new development of the team with a new coach and a new vision is being a lot of fun. BTW, if you wouldn't mind taking some suggestions: When you mention a player for the first time in the video, add a little pop up picture of the player, so we have some visual cue of who they are. I don't think that would be too much work when editing, and for recent supporters like me (I'm mostly here to see where Amorim can take this team), it's a huge help for getting familiar with all the players, and also just more visually enticing.
I guess the team is more or less where they were, but Ten hag wouldn't be able to figure out how to fix the situation and it would prob end losing 0-1 or 1-1 at best. The value of someone able to read the situation and come up with a solution on the spot is a basic requirement of a coach or manager, is it not. So at least we improved in having someone that meets the basic requirement of a coach/manager. Well done Anmorium.
I think that's a little unfair to ten Hag. There were a number of times in his first season when he changed the game with his subs. Not so much in his second season, but he was sometimes struggling to find 11 fit first team players. This season, yeah, it looked like he had either lost his confidence, or knew that his days were numbered.
I'm actually happy that all these issues are being exposed, because not only Amorim is seeing that we need better players, but also the owners.. Amorim is getting an idea of the players that are worthy to play in his team, and I like that.. This is what you call a real process, sieve out the unqualified players 👍.. Just hope that the club will back Amorim with the best of their ability..
Please do a video on why Onana is much better for Amorim than De Gea would have been. Too many people drawing daggers on a player who was clearly our best until the recent blip.
De Ligt moving away from those two players wouldn't fix anything. He'd simply move so that the other player would cut off his passing lane. The other two players aren't going to stand still either. The idea you say is right in theory but it was an awful time to try and implement it. Absolute best case scenario De Ligt receives the ball under pressure from all sides. Onana was trying too hard to follow the ideal instructions and didn't apply any common sense.
I just think if De Ligt is a bit more alert to the situation then the pass is possible But regardless, Onana messes it up and it was always going to be tough...
De ligt wasn't at fault at all AJ. He was in an open space, onana hesitated to pass the ball, but when he did de ligt was already been marked.... Making the defender look bad 🤦
@AJAnalysis I think there is a better chance for sure. He was definitely too flat footed. Although I will say that as a defender myself, I would often have that kind of body language when I am pretty much saying to the Keeper "I don't want the ball here, please don't give it to me" 🤣 Thabjs for the reply! Always good to hear your thoughts. Glad we got the win in the end and I think the early signs are good with Amorim. It won't all be sunshine and rainbows but I already see more of a plan than I ever did under ETH.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 Yeah the first thing I said to my brother was "De Ligt made it pretty obvious he did not really want that ball" Going to be a tough run for us over the next few months, just need to keep seeing those signs of steady progress
Rashford is done - night and day between when he was on and when he was off. Surely we've got to sell him and bump the budget with PSR. IT used ot be we'd say, we can't sell rashford we;d have to spend bi for a replacement, but that's just no longer true.
Not doubting that the technical empathy might be lacking, but I think the other night the heavy/bobbly pitch was also a big factor. Lots of bobbles/misjudged bounces/underhit passes. Top flight players just not used to bad pitches anymore.
I wonder if this will affect the profile of wing backs we target now. Maybe the club will look at profiles similar to Raphael Guerrero, Miguel Gutierrez, Cancelo etc. Players who are comfortable out wide and centrally to allow for positional-rotations with the inside forward so that games where people like are play in the 10 position, it will allow him to rotate out wide with the wing back to occasionally get traditional wingers occupying the wide areas. We were playing into cul de sacs with Dalot and Malacia out wide.
1:47 This is where freeze frame analysis fails. If you watch the sequence live Onana dwells too long on the ball. The mistake is because Onana doesn't play a one touch pass.
We know moving forward we will continue with wingbacks… You mentioned how with their back 5 we had to rely on malacia and dalot to beat their man When your a team that’s one of the best in the world most teams will line up in a back 5 It’s very clear the wingbacks we sign have to be great at beating their man 1 v 1 This could be a very good video idea give your options that we can potentially sign
If you do decide to make this a video idea I’d recommend looking at Samuel lino, Ait Nouri, quenda and Tiago santos Honourable mentions frimpong, Alvaro, hakimi and Zalewski If you want pure beating their man ability then ait Nouri and Tiago santos is the best I’ve watched id argue either of these 2 would be our best player at the club in regards to beating their man
@@YANITE588 I'll definitely be doing some videos on this! I've also already had a look at Ait Nouri over on the Discord server if you wish to check it out; discord.gg/WD6BqKs5
Do you think the subs really changed the game? Maybe towards the end of the game, the game was stretched and more open and Plzen players were tired from all the defending they did in 1st half.
Mate I blame Ruben for yesterday first plays. My reason is that, that was same squad that played Everton and won 4;0 amad was making those space while rashy occupied them that’s how he scored his second goal vs Everton but yesterday he was told to stick to the left wing yesterday. Zirkzee is a player that will always create plays Rashford is a player that will run into those space amad created and rashy can finish buh the game yesterday they never played that now after they were subbed he played it.
The fact that you mentioned deligt in the mistake shows how good you are... I think deligt was to blame more cos he seemed to be afraid of receiving the ball. By the time the ball is played the defender was not further from him on that ball. And that is a concern for me if a centre back is scared of receiving the ball in certain areas
I think it's on Onana. He could've have just passed to Mazraoui or Martinez. Onana usually passes to Martinez or Mazraoui so idk why he chose to pass to De Ligt in that situation. He was being pressed by 3 players. Just pass to the free man.
@notharryhindsight7746 please carefully watch the match again... The tactics has always been to drag opposition close and play connecting passes to quickly break free. Ofcourse Onana can choose an easy pass but a successful pass to deligt and he passes to mazraoui removes 3 or 4 players... Onana's pass was not perfect, don't get me wrong but deligt was scared of receiving the ball and was almost not aware of a player he should see... Why it is worrying is we can't play or build from the back if the ball playing keeper has no ball playing center backs.... And u can watch deligt pass and receive the entire game, he seems to not risk it, most times playing back to the keeper when a penetrative pass is available and not moving into a ball receiving position if he senses he might be pressed. Same with dalot
@@charlieyertyr9961yeah, I've watched it back. You are right. Onana actually tells De Ligt to move closer so that he can pass to him and he passes to Mazraoui but De Ligt keeps moving back because he is not comfortable receiving the ball there. I just think Onana shouldn't then force it to De Ligt. Problem is I think he was fixated on giving it to De Ligt that he couldn't adjust to passing to Mazraoui or Martinez because the opposition were closing in.
@@notharryhindsight7746 I agree with you entirely. Onana has to do better too... However, I was not so unhappy with onana at the misplaced pass as I was with deligt. I have seen edison, Allison, neuer misplace passes But I can't for the life of me understand why deligt don't want the ball. It took a while b4 the opponent closed in on him, so he wasn't even under pressure. Virgil, Diaz and co will eat that position anyday...
@@charlieyertyr9961 He is not good on the ball under pressure. I think that's why he didn't want it. Yoro, Martinez, Mazraoui are. When Evans, Lindelof leave this summer, utd need to add cbs who are comfortable on the ball.
The team selection against Viktoria Plzen last night was questionable again. The team should have been: Onana, Mazraoui, DeLigt, Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, Bruno, Ugarte, Amad, Hojlund & Rashford. Subs: Bayindir, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot, Amass, Eriksen, Mount, Gernacho, Zirkzee & Antony Dalot & Gernacho are not starters, at present bench player at best. Rashford should get priority in his position, Mazraoui should start as wingback. Amad should start as right winger! Amorim is improving his team selection, pitch condition wasn't good but they stuck at it & substitutions saved the day! Now we're looking forward to Man City away!
Not really but there are similarities in terms of how the wingbacks link up. The difference is our wingback link up happens in the 2nd phase to switch play and keep the ball moving. While for leverkusen it happens in the final 3rd and usually converts to goals. Our system mainly targets chances for the striker, while theirs create more chances for the wingbacks to score
Of course those subs changed the game. The bigger problem is he shouldn’t have had to go to those players to win and they should have had a full game of rest for the next fixture. So much deadwood.
Can’t believe we are persisting with a player like Garnacho. I don’t think there’s a player with so much hype, below par ability and absolutely 0% footballing IQ. And now it’s been reported he’s the one leaking information? GET RID OF THIS FRAUD NOW
Having 11 players on the pitch helped. Not sure why he started with 10 men. (And Trashford). But as soon as the lazy bum went off we improved. Coincidentally?? No.
I am not getting blinded by that 1A from Bruno. I hope he’s one of those on the sell list. That was another disgusting performance from him again. He’s 30 and has no long term future at the club. I mean it literally makes no sense to build for the future around a 30 year old declining diabolical player. Time to cash in while he’s still somewhat valuable.
A club with such a feminine name sounds so wrong when we say the names with score. Someone not into football would think we are talking about a different kinda game
I have watched enough games to know our strongest 11: Onana the clown, Maz, De Ligt, Yoro, Dalot, Malacia, Ugarte, Fernandes, Amad, Mount, Hojlund. P.S Onana out, mid goalkeeper who cannot make simple saves and is error prone!
He's statistically been one of the best goalies in the EPL this season. Dude makes 2 mistakes and everyone wants him out. 2 weeks ago we were praising him, Amad, and Mazeoui for being the best and most consistent players in the team. Man U fans want gods in every position
Let’s appreciate Anthony I think he was a great Sub
He played well
He need to work more on his finishing -- he shouldn't kick to ball to the stratosphere...
He skied 2 shots. Almost made 1 assist. Didn't do much else. How exactly did he play well?
I think he's the type of player to make an impact off the bench 🤔
@@teelddLinked up well and added width and energy

If we give rasmus service he will score its simple

I'm happy we have an identity, the problem I'll say is the quality of players is not alright we need an overhaul, a complete rebuild
