We need some players that are press resistant and that are comfortable on the ball especially at rb and in midfield we give the ball away too much under pressure and even when we're not even under pressure too sloppy.
Dalot is more than press resistant enough. His first half was horrific, but it’s harsh to judge him off of that one half. He’s usually very confident on the ball. I thought Casemiro and Onana were terrible with giving the ball away. It seemed like they were instructed to be as direct as physically possible, I don’t think I saw either of them try to keep possession even more than once.
At midfield certainly at rb not really. Midfield is what connects defense to offense and opponents have a chance to punish when the ball is lost at midfield so that is where we need press resistance players the most example De Jong at Barca, Stones at City etc. Lb Rb need to defend and attack their flanks.
I see what eth is doing, but this is so high skill but when it works it so dangerous. But its fun to watch. This season we still need time. Next season i expect us to challenge
We're pushing more more players upfront coz of onana( Martinez pushing to midfield, dalot cutting inside, Mount n Fernandez attacking the opponents box when the ball is in wings) i, so chemistry will work soon. Onana will continue throwing long balls Infront for hojlund. And on counter attacking, we're going to be a lethal threat once again, gernacho is showing sparks of maqurity, hopefully he can maintain that. Our depth n quality will immensely improve. Hoping we start on a high level In the early stages of the season n at least we compete for the trophy
We saw the limitations of the 3-1-6 build up formation... If defence can't find a ball too an attacker, if they lose it we are counter attacked pretty bad. We need an inverted fullback to joint the pivot in midfield on rest defence or we could lose control of games. We needed a conducted in midfield alongside Casemiro. Mount is not quite an 8 so Fernandes should be the one to rotate into midfield to link play. Some good attacks and a good win but defensive transitions and tempo control is something to develop on.
Young as he is, Kobbie could develop into that "conductor". He has the attributes to be the best-fit next to/a bit ahead of Casimero; a bit behind Bruno.
I think Mason Mount's off the ball work rate is going under the radar. Bt he needs to score the sitters. Garnacho was a joy to watch😍😍. Licha, Shaw, Bruno were decent. Casemiro had a great game. Apart from the mistake, Dalot also did well. We have to be patient !!! A good win at home😊 #UTFR #GGMU👹👹
its crazy how well organized and controlled we looked in that Arsenal game with him in our side. Mainoo's temperament in the backline played a big role in our tempo in that game
Personally, it looked like the first half was an instruction to focus on the transition than keeping the ball. You know like Ten Hag is watching how fast the can move from back to front. The second half was now a pep-esque "move the player not the ball" thingy. Just my opinion.
I think today Casemiro proves your point, he was absolutely world class in recovering the ball all over the pitch which is for me is more of a problem because we can't count on him being brilliant every game. The problem is Mount was a bit high and Bruno was very wide which leaves Casemiro covering a lot of ground which will be the case in every mid-table match we face and will be hit hard on the break and surely we ETH should foregt about Rashi up top never worked never will he is always frustrated and seems lost up top
One of the problem is sometimes we are too rush to counter attack and pass too quickly and the opponent intercept the pass and we have a lot of space in the midfield. I hope ETH solve this issue and I’m very excited for next season
That’s transitional football/counter press... we are not going to play tiki taka like city or arsenal it’s more like a prime 2019-2020 Liverpool pattern. Direct football
Can u please talk about or make video about utd midfield balance and a lot people are saying utd midfield lacks balance specially this trio (bruno, mount and casemiro)
Thank you for your explanation. It was not only sloppy but also slow. Fernandes, Mount, Sancho Dallo were not sharp in the duels to receive the ball, so United quickly lost the ball. For the right back position I prefer Wanbisaka. I think Dalo is a wimp. All he has going for it is scoring ability
garnacho is the best player yesterday. i agree with you, still to much sloppy and error from us and thats a concern. by the way i want to try garnacho on the right, because i think he will move to outside more and try to cross to middle and i love to see hojlund score that
I have a feeling teams are gonna be scoring from there own half against us this year with onna playing so high line and players in the team who cant put a simple pass together... that mistake by delot was ass bad as a square pass across the face of goal. A deffo no no as a defender ....
Something is wrong with United's midfield. Its not quite clicking like it did last season, especially on our best days and I think its due to Mason Mount not being Eriksen with more pace and energy as advertised. I may be wrong, but something is off with the flow in that mid section.
This was expected... the current squad will take a few games to get used to the new playing style and personnel... 1. The defense still needs to get familiarized with Onana's high positioning. Dalot could easily have passed back to Onana instead of Varane but he is still used to De Gea staying deep so didn't risk a long back pass.. 2. The passing patterns and attacking positions will change significantly with an extra man going up due to Onana.. 3. Mount's defensive work rate is solid but in attack, it's clearly visible that the team is not used to his movements off the ball which is why this pre season it feels he has been invisible in games.. very similar to what Van de Beek experienced but unlike the dutchman, Mount is a guaranteed starter so will gradually settle into the team.. 4. Rashford must play LW.. at striker, it's clear that his dribbling and diagonal runs behind defensive lines are not utilized at all.. with Hojlund, hopefully Rashford finds more games at LW.. 5. We were too frantic today in trying quick transitions and sometimes forcing the issue when keeping the ball was a better option, especially in the first half, Casemiro played 3-4 wasteful Hollywood passes the moment he got the ball.. hope this was just an experiment in pre season.. 6. And finally, the delivery into the box.. once again there were next to no crosses into the box even when there were opportunities to do so. Dalot and Antony both were reluctant to put a ball in.. Garnacho was atleast attempting low drilled balls across the box and created two good chances.. with Holjund arriving, we have to utilize his height and ability to sniff scoring chances when the ball is sent into the box... Those were my takeaways from today's game.. we have to be patient during the first few league games.. I expect more draws than wins initially..
Dont think we learned much other than there is still no sign of change in the attack. We beat a crap french team home on the counter. Its how we score most of our goals and its so 1 dimentional.
The Bad Case loses the ball too much. Mount does little on the ball. Dalot is not good enough. He certainly isn't great at defending. Sancho cannot be trusted. The midfield looks unbalanced. Good Garnacho!!! Bruno looks mint Neutral Rash as a 9 is a work in progress. There might be hope for Antony.
Fact, we struggle to create chances when a team is fully back. its a joke seeing how easy teams like madrid, man city, do create problems when on ball.
They have players that can carry the ball. We don't have any. It's very vital to drawing the opposition and breaking down defensive lines that just won't budge
@@craigoliver8712 they should make these nobodys earn that shirt. Such a legacy. Neither garnacho nor mount should get it for now. Get us 15 goal involvements a season, then let’s talk. Minimum requirement is to at least hit the target in front of an open goal
Yes we stomped our authority in the second half BUT this cant continue once the season starts, PL sides would burry us if we start the game this lazy and sloppy, Lens weren't clinical enough with the ball in 3v3 and 4v3 otherwise they'd 2-3 nil up in the first half. NO MORE SECOND HALF UNITED PLEASE!
Some one needs to tell Casemiro to relax with the ball. We already know he's shit on the ball but bloody hell, he needs to just take a second and not always be in a rush to play an unnecessary first time pass. We need a new CB and Sofyan Amrabat(Mainno can't come back soon enough) as soon as possible. Antony will not get any better, we need Greenwood as soon as possible too or even Amad when he returns. EtH just needs to quit this shit Rashford as a striker experiment, he is useless!!!
We learned Mason Mount is gonna be a flop. It’s all on ETHs head. Bruno has improved but we need Amrabat to start with casemiro as Cas can’t play no.6 on his own with Bruno and Mount in midfield. That equals zero ball retention and we will get smoked v better opposition. We also miss Mainoos ball carrying ability and technical security in midfield even though he’s barely played his qualities are much needed.
You've learned that from a couple of games have you? Well done mate. If it was down to you, Rashford would have been gone before being our top scorer last season. Give him some time to integrate.
@@Paddythefriendlykiwi I've learned that through watching him for Chelsea and England countless times. He's bang average. I can bet you now he'll be a bench player once Amrabat comes in because ETHs job will be on the line and he'll have to make a decision.
We need some players that are press resistant and that are comfortable on the ball especially at rb and in midfield we give the ball away too much under pressure and even when we're not even under pressure too sloppy.
At RB we have AWB. He has become a Messi in that position. He easily benches Dalot
Dalot is more than press resistant enough. His first half was horrific, but it’s harsh to judge him off of that one half. He’s usually very confident on the ball. I thought Casemiro and Onana were terrible with giving the ball away. It seemed like they were instructed to be as direct as physically possible, I don’t think I saw either of them try to keep possession even more than once.
Amrabat must come and Wanbisaka must always start for the big games please
The best we looked this pre season was when Mainoo was playing.
At midfield certainly at rb not really. Midfield is what connects defense to offense and opponents have a chance to punish when the ball is lost at midfield so that is where we need press resistance players the most example De Jong at Barca, Stones at City etc. Lb Rb need to defend and attack their flanks.

Exactly
Perfectly said next season we'll still improve the squad as well.
Today it was clear what ten Haag meant about being the best in transition and the in possession transition
Very true two passes in the back one killer pass and bang goal

Mount is a 10 not a doubt in my mind
I think the excitement of being at Old Trafford may lead to the eagerness of Manchester United but then they settled down in the second half.
v good point

I'm so gutted that he got injured 😢

Casemiro gave away the ball too many times. Amrabat will be a good addition to the squad.
Just gonna put it out there, mount is looking an unreal signing
Our wings need to pass more
So in short, this was a preseason game where the team is working on timing and their connections. Got it!

Could you do an analysis on Mount's performance?
I watch your videos everyday but for some reason I always thought I was subscribed to your channel lol. Don't worry I just subscribed 😂
This team still need amrabat, an inverted RB and another striker
On Sunday 4pm UK time Man City vs arsenal community shield at Wembley stadium don't Miss it and analyze that game please.

we missed kobbie mainoo man.

We are missing someone like de jong

This preseason has been filled with experiments. Hence why preseasons are vital.
Awb ball carrying is underrated
We had some great passing movement towards the end of the game. Our triangles looked very good.
Dont think we learned much other than there is still no sign of change in the attack. We beat a crap french team home on the counter. Its how we score most of our goals and its so 1 dimentional.
The Bad
Case loses the ball too much.
Mount does little on the ball.
Dalot is not good enough. He certainly isn't great at defending.
Sancho cannot be trusted.
The midfield looks unbalanced.
Good
Garnacho!!!
Bruno looks mint
Neutral
Rash as a 9 is a work in progress.
There might be hope for Antony.
IMO as the preseason progressed our performances have regressed. Bit of concerning tbh
Fact, we struggle to create chances when a team is fully back.

No wonder why ETH wanted DeJong
It was a messy match from Manchester United.
Mason mount would hv been smart to not put the pressure of the number 7 shirt right away. But then again, intelligence was never his strong suit
He’s garbage and proving the fans who didn’t want him right.
