Are you an expert?

Brother, you are an intelligent guy... how do pronounce "que?" Like Manuel in Faulty Towers... meaning "what?" You dont read the U... its Quenda as in Que or KENtucky... You are welcome Sporting Sempre E Grande Quenda!!!! 💚🦁💚

Interesting that you thought he changed tactics at half. He specifically said he changed nothing at half time in his post-match presser. So either he was saying that knowing he’d be playing City twice at ManUtd now, or he simply did a great job of refocusing his squad at half time to play the way they were supposed to be playing tactically in the first half. I will echo other commenters in being thrilled that he said after the game that United cannot play this defensive game and that we must control and dominate games. Love it.

Thanks for this video. He already said, after the game, that he didn't like that they played so defensively. He said he's going to find a way to win like this, but by playing more on the front foot .

How Amorim SMASHED Pep? Euh half of the team is missing?

Beautiful football he makes

Amorim debut on the devils verdict 🍿

Underdog football when playing City or Barca is FINE !!!

the real questions is do we have the players to fit in his system?

Awesome video, thank you for your analysis and breaking down Amorim’s tactics. I think he’ll struggle to implement what he wants right away, as we don’t even have a real left WB, and we have a bunch of wingers. Also, fun fact: in the 21/22 season, Ten Hag destroyed Amorim’s Sporting in Portugal 5-1, with an Ajax team that included Antony, Martinez, and Mazraoui.

Thanks for the review and summary. Obviously, we can't get too sucked into this performance, especially since this is the Amorim team that he spent years with, albeit with player changes over the years. But it's exciting to see a young manager with charisma and intelligence adapt his tactics. I hope to see this adopted at United and look forward to what he can bring.

Brilliant video!. I’ve watched so much fluff about Amorim’s tactics and that city game, and nobody pointed out that the second half wasn’t just a good team talk! One thing sporting do really well is the passing. Quick accurate passes without dwelling on the ball too long. Something our squad can’t do lol. We need to learn from scratch

Man United players can't do this tactics

dalot literally said we didnt change anything.......

united did not maintain a double pivot throughout this game. arguably one of casemiro/ugarte was sitting right in front of the defence, while the other was moved up a bit. looked a 3-1 at the back a lot of the times. you literally see it at 1:00. guardiola uses the 3-1 all the time. you just need the technical skill and coordination to pull it off in possession like city do. 1:02 as for the "main criticism", if things are not going well, people will always blame the formation, esp. genius tacticians on YT.

If this guy stays, we will have a problem with some players

Ruud Boy, nice one .

Seriously hyping up a win against Leicester 2nd team

Nah he did it ETHs Way!

Ruud on the devils verdict

so the verdic is: After 3 years of training. Our senior players STILL cannot adapt high press and we will face same problems under whatever coach. So we have 2 options: 1) either again change the system where 3 years and 600 mil was spent 2) get rid of them it if it 2, then we owe an apology to ralf and eth

My view, more or less. We were a bit more intense with the press, the back line joined it on a couple of occasions, we were a bit more engaged in buildup as both elements of the double pivot would actively move laterally to where the ball is and that gave us a fair few progressions through both Ugarte and Casemiro; we were also a bit more direct, but that was partly Leicester inviting us to do it. Ultimately those goals were statistics catching up to us after several matches - Palace and West Ham prominent - where we were denied or we missed an absurd amount of chances. - a worldie that’s a 1 in 50 to go in at best - a cute direct play that could’ve been a toenail offside with VAR for all we know - a free kick that bounced off some poor bloke’s head - a decent header that bounced off both posts and ended up back in Casemiro, but props to him for being active - a horrible passing mistake in a dangerous area. We still let two in and another hit the crossbar. It’s a mountain to climb. But at least most of the lads looked engaged, even the ones who were bad (Zirkzee mostly), they were frustrated, but they cared. Rashford looked completely disinterested, like he was waiting for the shift to end. I want to see the back of him.

Fair analysis despite the goals i didn't feel we played as well as peope think but might be cause they never had enough time to work in training chelsea will be the test

First half of Crystal Palace game under tenhag was the best we have played in the past decade. But I'm glad he's out and Let's go Amiron.

Excellent video as always. I think it was a little impulsive to sack Ten Hag right after West Ham. I would have still stuck with him a bit more and focus on winning the Europa league. once that would be impossible, time for a change and a new project. Even Amorim said today that he would have preferred to take over next summer. But what’s done is done, I think Ten Hag will move on and get another top job in Europe and we will also move on and hopefully improve. I am very worried about the 3-5-2, because I don’t think our squad is suitable for such a drastic change. We barely have enough full backs to even play them on their wrong side (like Dalot on the L), I struggle to see how the new manager can implement a new system where the WB are key. I don’t think the Leicester game means much, because they were so poor. Similar to the 7-0 Barnsley game, no one is really talking about that anymore. Ruud will get a chance to show his managerial ability on Sunday against Chelsea. Carrick managed a 1-1 against them away, can Ruud do better?

this is what the problem with man utd ETH has actually did well defensively as he only allowed 11 goals which is the same as aston vila and chelsea but since we could not convert our chances into goals he is the victim if we have converted our chances in this match and the crystal palace match we would been right now with 15 points and would have been fighting for top 4.Tbh i have seen this cycle where the players play well under a interim or new manager for few matched to gain fans trust to actually believe that the coach was the problem but in the end it is not.One last request can we expect a video of how ruben amorim 3-4-2-1 formation would work in our squad? is it possible from your POV or it is gonna take a long time to adapt 3 at the back formation?

I really enjoy your content, DV. Will you do any coverage of Ruben, like the Sporting vs Man City match? Keep it up!

It worked against a rotated leicester. If the finishing stays as good they will beat anyone, but there was plenty of luck in the goals ,which isnt sustainable.

Top video. I've read that Ruud was pressured into the PSV job, and was considered difficult to work with. So I was never really expecting something special to come of his step up, and glad we've already sorted the next permanent manager. I'm already looking forward to learning about Amorim's tactics through your lens!

Ye Chelsea will destroy this team. Players under ten hag, pressing was getting better, one touch one pass football, finding spaces, overloads and creating chances but it took too much time and we weren't scoring the chances. But ineos saw slow progress and still sacked him. Honestly they are lost and are just like the glazers

PLEASE TAKE US THROUGH LUBEN AMORIM

We need a devils verdict on Amorim ASAP

I can see your points in the freeze frame analysis, but when watching the game live (and I’m no expert), Brentford never really looked that dangerous. We pretty much did the job, and could have won more categorically. It WAS an injustice on the corner, we suddenly had to defend with 10 men, without an official red card and the chance for the team to reorganize. It was a 7/10 performance for me in a game we should have won. If we keep doing that we’ll be ok. We’re only 3 points from Chelsea, who apparently are slaying now with Sanchinho and Palmaradona.

wow! so negative

It's always been the players look at the improvement when there is a little commitment

Top video as usual. Painful seeing the clips of Brentford beating the press back to back like that! haha. Hojlunds goal coming from a successful high press was nice though

Expert in your own living room.

Same old KZbinr criticizing a high profile manager

I think you’re being a bit too harsh, but your fundamental point is true. Tactically we weren’t much better off, but there were small yet significant improvements in the patterns: it was simplified. It allowed the players to do their jobs more easily. The overall setup was simpler and I don’t think we always stuck to the 3-1-6 in possession, it was often a 3-2-5; plus whenever the box was constructed it was farther upfield using Rashford to invert. The press was pretty bad, no going around that. Onana enabled the back line in buildup quite a bit, it’s the first time I’ve seen him truly become part of the back 4, allowing Dalot to keep width higher up the pitch, which in turn allowed Rashford to invert. He’s been pretty solid individually and was utilised well in this particular game. Winning the individual duels was a good thing, people stepped up. I’m not getting carried away, but I don’t have a problem if our players saved the team by pulling a good shift. Tactics only get you so far.

He's right. I was also concerned about it

All the analysis on the press is just bad because of intensity not anything a coach can do

Hard but with a lot of thruth hiding in it. You could bring it differently though :).

United off the ball was not very good. they had some successful phases of pressing the opposition and winning the ball high up the pitch on a good number of occasions but it was clear to see that the press was beaten on a number of occasions also. Playing out from the back was bit better especially in the second half. ETH played Onana in a back 4 frequently Martinez pushed high up and was replaced by Evans as a partial left back then Onana and Deligt possed as the center backs then Dalot maintained the right back position in the first phase this system which made distribution more easy this pattern was mirrored atimes with Evans and Onana as the center backs with martinez and deligt as LB and RB respectively. He later switched to 3 at the back as play progressed. Bruno was dropping deep to help Ericson and Casemiro to play out through Dalot and Martinez from the flanks and play progressed leading to one on one situations especially for Garnacho in some cases Rashford inverted and Dalot overlaped. To an extent Rashford tried defensively in this game. Bruno had an assist but gave the ball away repeatedly in compromising situations which could have led to us conceding goals. If we can build on this, but it is only a small team and they didnt press us as other teams do. The issue is always consistency, the next game can pose more questions that answers.

You're not wrong with the questions. But it is the same thing we've been trying to do all season. Just asking why it took an injustice to up the intensity tells you it might not be ten hag who has the problem. Maybe in the motivation section but you can see it. Even you questioned the intensity of the press in the first half. Just saying...

You’re taking a piss buddy, i don’t know what game you were watching

Using one half to analyze a match of football is idiotic. I pity the 3k followers you have.
