Are Man Utd recent wins as a result of Individual brilliance from Paul Pogba or coached & tactics?
Fulham 1 vs. 2 Man Utd — Tactics #MUFC

United usually buildup in 2 different shapes/patterns:
1. 244(424) or

424 shape come from #mufc transitioning quick as mentioned in my threads prev. when #mufc are out of possession their defensive shape 442.
This is not the best ex.👇Sorry

The positioning of the players was great all game.

These are clear tactical and coaching instructions. #MUFC

The spacing between the players where great and they all maintained position. This pushed Fulham deeper and deeper. #MUFC



1. Dictate.
2. Progress.
3. Create.
4. Push up &shoot if possible.
5. Help AWB progress by providing him right angles for passing. #MUFC
1. Left or right of a pivot as DLP.
2. Double pivot Left CAM
3. False Winger.
4. Left of a diamond.
#MUFC
You don't win games just by "Individual Brilliance" unless you have a player that can go through 4-5 players alone.
We need to create more as our forwards are not clinical at this moment. This will remove the need for a special goal.

I do think I was unclear here:

I am not saying we aren't creating sustainable chances. However, teams often miss sustainable chances \u2014 it's just how football is. Based on that we need to be creating more that caters for the misses in that regard. We're just below that level.

I don't think people understand the vital difference between a well-rehearsed (and physical) team vs a collection of individuals with no real understanding - new players, makeshift centre-backs, other players out of position. Make do an mend when missing a ton of quality = v.hard
Add fatigue,with less option to rotate, and big effort in 3 away games in previous 9 days. Team lacks height and heft without VvD, Matip, Fabinho, Gomez. Team lacks pace and goals without Jota, Mané. Lacks pace at back without VvD and Gomez. No senior keeper undermines confidence
Team has been disrupted constantly this ssn. Rarely below 6 injuries, often = 10. Thiago a real bonus after months out, but the proper team is not around him. Even Gini looked knackered yesterday. 5th/6th-choice strikers and centre-backs will always be a big drop from 1st choices
Last night was a bit grim, and Brighton were excellent. But it was a strong XI for them, in terms of usual players and in terms of physicality. LFC full of skilful slower little guys right now - lacking the skilful bodyguards and pace. Kabak should help, but he's young and new
You can read Mentality Monsters or Perched for how much I talk about the unity of a team, the practiced understanding from years of intense training together, knowing each others runs and movements. Right now it's a team of semi-strangers and stand-ins.
Definitely agree BUT, we should still be beating Burnley and Brighton at home.

For me, that is in part, a tactical problem.
