Man Utd 3 v 2 Liverpool — Tactics #MUFC
----------------------------------------------------------

 In this thread, we'll look at couple of the highlights and tactical tweaks both teams used to attack each other. We'll look at Man Utd's mistakes that lead to the goals as well. #MUFC
Right from the off, Liverpool looked to hurt United with quick switches of play to catch out their out of possession 442 setup. A quick switched ball from Robertson to TAA catches Rashford, Shaw and Maguire OOP & force them to adjust quickly. Rashford is vital here for TAA's run.
United looked to do the same but with Rashford. Switch the play or drag Liverpool out, find Rashford, and Rashford looks for Cavani and/or Greenwood. Liverpool adopt a very highline as they usually have the possession, so this can be exploited heavily. LIV: 442 OOP. #MUFC
Notice where Firmino is. Liverpool used the same idea of overloading the midfield to create 4v3. United adapted at Anfield and had one of the wingers tuck when the ball is on the far-side. Look at Rashford. #MUFC
Why Donny and not Bruno? Donny can do a man marking job more effectively than Bruno. Thiago enjoyed a lot of space at Anfield until #mufc started denying him space with Fred. This time Donny marked their their pivot effectively. It forced LIV to play through flanks or 8s to drop.
United's FBs usually get doubled up on because their wingers don't drop as often as they should. However last night, till about the 60th minute, they did that effectively. Look at Rashford's position and Greenwood's run back to cover AWB's back post from Robertson's run. #MUFC
1st Goal. A moment of extreme sloppiness from United in their shape. Goals are almost always never a 1 man mistake. It's a chain and the chain started with Cavani and Donny. They got dragged too far out and left a lot of space between them and the 2nd line. Wijnaldum capitalized.
Again the distance between the 2nd line and the 3rd line was bigger than it should be. Look at the space Milner and Firmino had (2nd image prev tweet). Because United lost compactness, it became much harder for Scott and Pogba to cover properly. TAA gave Rashford the slip. #MUFC
Now Shaw has 2 choices to make, notice he sees TAA, he was waiting to see if Firmino will play Salah or TAA in. Instantly, this gives both players a better reaction time than Shaw. Lindelof read this play wrong thus adjusted his body position in the wrong way to deal with this.
Again #mufc were switched to MR10, & when a run was not on. MR10 waited for Shaw's underlap to create 2v1 v TAA. Same as LIV do on the opposite end. #MUFC switched to AWB as well but it was too much to ask of the FB - run the length of the pitch to get on the end of a switch.
At Anfield, MR10 was caught offside 6x. He was rushing things too much & inevitably cost #mufc chances but yesterday, he was more calm & made his runs with cleverness. Here instead of running straight, he ran inwards first then curved which kept him onside with Fabinho.
Liverpool were getting nowhere with Thiago man-marked & their FBs covered by Rashford & Greenwood (for the most part). Robertson moved inward as an inverted FB, while Milner started making diagonal runs that won't be tracked by AWB or Greenwood. Milner chance. #MUFC
1/2 8s dropped to piv. with Thiago to give VdB trouble while 1/2 8 pushed up with ST to pin the FB.
This did 2 things:

1. created a 3v1 v Shaw.
2. Gave Thiago more space to operate.

#mufc dealt well with PP & MR shifting to cover quick.+ Thiago's long passes were unsuccessful.
LIV 2nd (1st was a goal) biggest chance came from #mufc losing possession in mid AGAIN. Fred here got brushed over & it created a CA with 4v3 or 5v4 (however you look at it). Salah could have scored a hattrick but bad finishing & good positioning from Henderson saved #mufc.
Greenwood & Donny were taken out for Fred & Bruno.

1. More mobility in mid.
2. VdB was losing his marker & not effective in final 3rd.
3. Roberstson & TAA were getting a lot space as MG & MR stopped tracking back as much.
4. PP6 & Fernandes were shift wide mid OOP.

MR 👇 #MUFC
Overall United matched Liverpool both tactically & intensity wise - par a couple of mistakes & a scare after Liverpool equalized. Fine margins at the highest level. A moment of lack of concentration cost United the 1st goal. It takes a moment.

End. #MUFC

I'm starting to think Marvin Lewis is one of the more underappreciated NFL coaches of the past couple decades. Staying 16 years in one place is TOUGH, and I feel like people have forgotten a lot of context along the way.

In the 12 years before Marvin Lewis arrived, the Bengals were 55-137. In the two years since he left, they are 6-25-1. That's 14 years and 0 playoff appearances.

Lewis was 131-122-3 with 7 playoff appearances.

Lewis took over a 2-14 team in 2003. His first three years, he went 8-8, 8-8 and 11-5.

He got his QB in Year 2 in Carson Palmer and reached the playoffs in Year 3. But on his very first throw, Palmer tore his knee.

So, we begin the narrative that Lewis was 0-7 in playoff games. Fair criticism to a point. But here were his seven QBs for those playoff games:

Jon Kitna after 1 throw
Carson Palmer
Andy Dalton
Andy Dalton
Andy Dalton
Andy Dalton
AJ McCarron

The Bengals, who have a cheap owner as GM, not only struggled to find Marvin Lewis a QB but also struggled to get him much of anything. They consistently let good players walk, from Carson Palmer to Marvin Jones to Kevin Zeitler to Eric Steinbach to Leon Hall to Reggie Nelson.

Thread:

Are Manchester United shooting and allowing shots more frequently in the 20/21 PL season?

RTs appreciated :)

#MUFC rank 3rd for volume of shots in the Premier League this season. United also rank 1st for SoT but that is not a surprise when you consider that they have scored the most goals in the league.

Sh/90 = 14.3 (5th)
SoT/90 = 5.48 (=2nd)
Accuracy = 38.4 % ( 3rd)

Yes, #MUFC do well for shot accuracy but it has to be mentioned that 32% of #MUFC’s goals came in two games - against Leeds United and Southampton. Similarly, 23% of #MUFC’s shots came in three games - against Newcastle United, Leeds United, & Southampton.

Shooting:

At this rate, #MUFC are projected to finish with roughly 540 shots this season. That’s roughly 2% more than last season. That number is equivalent to 14.2 shots per 90 minutes. Again, a marginal increase from last season’s 13.9 shots per 90 minutes.

Hitting the target:

If #MUFC maintain their current level of accuracy, they will finish with 5.47 shots on target per 90 minutes, which is once again more than last season, again only slightly more.

These are very fine margins that could prove vital come the end of this season

Highlighting a couple of improvements from United's Europa league R32 win over La Real. #MUFC

La Real 0 v 4 Man Utd — Buildup & Pressing. #RSOMUN


Pressing & traps:

Often #mufc are hasty & over-commit in their pressing, especially from players like Rashford and Bruno. Thus leading their press to be dis-jointed and by-passed easily. On Thursday, they nailed it. They formed a pressing cage around #RSO entire midfield.


Aim was to minimize #RSO creative players' involvement on the ball. In fact, Merino & Silva had the fewest touches of their teammates. Bruno & MG11 focused on cutting passing lanes to midfield instead of rushing the press. MG11 pressed nearside CB when ball went out-wide.


The trigger for United's press was when the ball is played to the FBs. This is where a ball nearside Winger pressed the FB, while the CF closes the ball nearside CB & the CM (Scott) & FB (AWB) pressed the dropping CM (Merino) & LW (Oyarzabal).+CB pressed dropping CF (Izak). #mufc


Buildup:

#MUFC built-up in a 2422 where the CF & CAM dropped to help the buildup. #RSO pressed in 4132 with Silva pushing up. Th improvement was how Fred and Scott communicated & opened up angles for their CBs to cut through the press.+ Bruno dragging Illarramendi OOP.

#swfc are finally back in league action tonight 8pm GMT away to Coventry #pusb

A relegation six pointer to kick off our second half of the season with 7 points separating us in 23rd and them in 16th.

A look of our numbers and theirs below and what they can tell us.

[thread]

I looked at the survival prognosis for teams in our position yesterday (https://t.co/rmVT8b5sFl).

Thankfully a prognosis is not a prediction, but it does bear out just how important tonight's game is.


Can we quantify match importance then?

Well, @FiveThirtyEight have given it a right good go and how they've done it is explained here: https://t.co/ObjB079Fjw

Their match importance rating ranges from 0 to 100 for a team.

In a game with a high match importance vs. a team with low match importance, a team's likelihood of winning increases: All else being equal, if match importance is 100 for the home team and 0 for the away team, the home team's odds of winning drop from Evens (50%) to 8/11 (58%).

If we look at the combined match importance ratings for both teams, tonight's game ranks 14th of the 317 matches with match importance ratings. Pretty important then!

Of our matches only the win against Bournemouth had a higher combined match importance than tonight's match:

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

KANIPAKAM VINAYAKA, CHITOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Kani means wetland and Pakam means flow of water into wetland.
Kanipakam Vinayaka is swayambhu (self-manifested). The murti is in a well which is always full of water.


Once, there were three brothers. Each one had a handicap- Dumb, Deaf and Blind. They had a small piece of land for livelihood. For their field, they drew water from a well. One day, they found that the well had dried up so one of them started digging in the well.


His tool hit something and blood oozed out. They found a swayambhu murti of Ganesha here.
Villagers started offering coconut water which overflew into a channel. Hence the name Kanipakam.


The murti is still growing in size. At present, we see the knees and the abdomen only. The Kavacham (Armour) offered to Vinayaka 50 years ago doesn’t fit today.
Vinayaka is believed to be the upholder of truth. So people come here and swear before him to prove their innocence.

Time for a Thread🧵On yesterday’s “F&O Pe Charcha - Diary Of An Option Seller” with @Mitesh_Engr by @Paytm Money

Why Gain/loss ratio is important that the batting average
• More than the Win Loss ratio check the total Gain /loss ratio
• If your avg loss is 1% and avg gain is +5% then even if you are losing in 7 positions and winning in 3 out of 10 still you will be net profitable

Treat Trading as a business:
• Stick to a single strategy. Eg: A restaurateur usually wouldn’t be changing his recipe on a daily basis
• Mitesh Sir only works on BO or BD strategy, as he is a versatile trader

• Any trader should atleast experience 3 scenarios i.e. bull, bear & consolidation
• Target 4% per month i.e. 48% p.a.
• Option buying requires skill, everyday there wont be huge momentum, so buying options won’t yield good results, but high chances of falling into a bad habit

Stock Selection:
• In F&O segment there are ~150 stocks
• Not everyday all stocks will move
• Only 5-7 stocks move upside or downside
• Focus only these momentum stocks
• Check which one is moving
• Range BO/BD never disappoints. BO/BD from a rectangle (consolidation)

Some quick thoughts on Sam Gyimah's resignation after conversations with various Conservative MPs: 1) the chances of a second referendum are a lot higher than I thought:

2) At this point, if you are a young and ambitious Tory MP it is now so overwhelmingly in your interest to vote against the withdrawal agreement. V v hard to see how Julian Smith can cap rebellion at under 100:

3) Really just to reiterate 1) Gyimah is the kind of "No, never gonna rebel" vaguely pro-EU Tory you'd need to get on side to outweigh Labour Leavers and Real Concerners.
