Thread:
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 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 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:
