Well obviously Spurs changed to a back five yesterday and it was backs to the wall for 90 minutes the same as us. Henry was more in depth talking about how it doesn’t work if certain players don’t play their role ie the full backs but Carragher was saying how it’s negative and they’ve slated Amorim for playing the same system for the last year. You can see it in action here again.. United just look so flat, they’ve basically got 5 defenders plus Casemiro on the pitch. So they’ve 6 defensive players then Bruno F but because they’ve got that extra defender they have a body less in the midfield and good teams exploit that. So not only are they trying to battle for the midfield with a man less there also trying to break teams down with a man or two less depending on who you compare it too
Man U have been so slow, methodical and measured moving the ball, no urgency whatsoever to get players and then the ball into the box
Tactical genius that Amorim mind. Plays nearly eighty minutes against ten men and looked like his team were a man down. Chancer that bloke. All that " I have an idea" rubbish.
We somehow let them have space to run into, and they are really good at that. With men behind the ball against them, they look pretty poor.
