[@elleonken7599]

It's not an exaggeration to say All the recent signings have been a success so far. Mazraoui & De LIgt have not only made the team defensively more solid, more importantly, they're comfortable on the ball and allow MU to build up from the back. Zirkzee who some criticize for not finishing, is showing the ability to link up play in the final third. Even Onana looks like a new signing this season. The results may not reflect it, but MU have improved this season.

[@BuddhaofBlackpool]

Successful signings that have taken you to 11th in the table. Hahahaha

[@BuddhaofBlackpool]

Onana looks like a new signing because he was so bad last year. He's OK if the ball happens to hit him.

Big up Ste 💥 keep doing u & being u. I appreciate your approach, no theatrics, no forced negativity, no pandering to rival fans for views, no extras. Was annoyed we never won yesterday but was pleasantly happy with the performance barring the finishing of course. We need to keep working on & improving on that aspect of our game & the goals will come. First time in ages that I like/rate most of our team. Maz is amazing in how he's slotted in perfectly, such a tidy player, similar to Amad, both make the correct decisions & both keep it simple when it's required. Bruno just needs a rest imo don't think he'll get it with the volume of games coming up but yh he'll be fine, will be crucial for us this season. Loving the De Ligt & Licha partnership, props to Onana helping us out in back to back games, Pen save last week & some potent saves this week too. GGMU 🔴

[@greatpdeepak]

I personally got more positive vibes from this game than the win against Fulham, and so many other performances. This game was united's best game in almost 2 years. The manager seems to have finally solved the two things dogging him for the longest time, patterns in play and creating chances. The defense really looks air tight right now. Dalot inverting and Maz/Amad axis on the right side is really impressive. ZZ was always going to be the striker who creates rather than the striker who scores, he himself called himself a 9.5. My biggest question from that game is does the manager actually convert ZZ from 9.5 to 10(or even an 8)? His interplay is very good, he holds the ball well and he presses alright too. Rasmus is a beast when it comes to pressing and running and will help him and if he gets on the balls that Garna and Bruno were on the end of, I reckon he buries those chances. We've got to have a tactic where ZZ and Rasmus play together and this means that Bruno gets to come off the bench to finish some games. The season is going to be long, we need to not forget that our target is 4th/5th in the table and deep runs in the cups(hopefully winning Europa) This performance helps us a lot for the upcoming games against Spurs and Villa. Those are our must win 6 pointer games. Finally, I am not worried about Bruno. He will come in clutch like he has so many times for us. But that being said. The board must start doing succession planning. Either seriously considering Fletcher/Ennis from the academy or a target from outside the club(my dream signing is Wirtz). GGMU

[@onouphrios]

we score 2 or 3 goals here and it gets lauded for being an elite performance, which it is minus the finishing. not worried about our season though, however Ten Hag needs to stop this Garnacho starting experiment, love the kid but he's not ready. huge positive for his confidence though

[@sonofzeus5551]

I love your insight about the game and i totally agree..one of the reasons i think bruno is performing badly right now apart from the fact that he's not that inform is zirkzee,he has the subconscious problem of proving hes the sole creator of the team and seeing zirzkee is just as good at providing and creating he feels pressured to do something interesting or extraordinary when he gets the ball when he absolutely needs to keep it simple

[@onouphrios]

[@AvaAmarena94]

⁠​⁠@@markface7I checked Transfermarkt and you’ve heard correctly! Neto has scored 15 goals for (first tier) clubs and country and De Ligt has scored 29 🙌🏽 As caveat I’ve to mention De Ligt has played about 200 games more than Neto though, but on the other hand they are quite similar in age (about 7 months apart) and Neto is the one playing as an attacker😆

[@Jimmy-Slims]

Depends on how you look at it when saying bad result...Utd did a lot of things right. Possession, expected goals up, shots up, shots conceded down and a clean sheet. Should Utd have won? Yes, but considering the shower of shite we've been of late, it's a step in the right direction. Yes, there is still a hell of a lot more to do to improve, but people need to see the bigger picture.

​@@Jimmy-Slimsbrooo We've had a lot of problems in the last 3 seasons . Defensive issues, ability to keep the ball, and score goals.

[@bernardasadu-tabi9674]

Best United channel. There’s clear progress with the team. We just hv to be ruthless infront of goal.

[@andrewtomlinson5237]

The more structured the team becomes, the less Bruno will have the freedom to experiment. Eriksen is more of a "By The Numbers" orchestrator who is able to see the patterns and if the team are playing to those patterns he can create opportunities. Bruno is far more of a "Spot a crack in the armour and exploit it" creator, if the players around him are on the same page. He works better in the more chaotic systems we've played. More and more EPL teams are able to play well organised systems of defence, we see the improvement, and the narrowing of the quality gap every new season. The league is becoming far more technical, and there are less opportunities for a player like Bruno to play with that swagger. By no means am I saying he is obsolete, but he needs to start focusing more on being part of the system, rather than the exception who can do his own thing. There are moments in a game where that is the right thing to do. But there are also times he needs to take the more pragmatic route.

The patterns and combinations with Zirkzee front and center were pleasing, until ETH decided to kill the momentum with those curious changes. Wasteful in front of goal, yes, but we could go and smash Twenty come Wednesday. Very pleased with the team. I see your great work, Ste. Keep it coming 😊

Ste, for what it's worth I've completely stopped watching all pre- and post-match shows on any network. If United win, there's a negative slant. If they lose/draw, there's a negative slant. I come to your channel because you speak like a fan. But, you're also running your own club and can speak from that perspective. The problem with media now is negativity gets clicks. Someone can say the something with zero fact and it will get views - AND THEN BE REPEATED AS FACT. So I'll keep coming to your channel whether United win, lose or draw because I know you're watching the match the way I am. I want to see improvement. I want to see players who are fighting for the badge and want to be at the club. I want to see progress. I can deal with losses and draws if there's progress. I'm not losing my head because I know this is going to take time.

[@robwhito]

Taking zirkzee off had a massive negative effect

[@occulus8687]

Zirkzee and Hojlund up top . 4-4-2 would be epic. Two 6’4 strikers would cause any defence problems.

[@Chriztefur]

It’s a good prospect but who plays out wide? 4-4-2 stinks with inverted wingers because there’s an emphasis on width. We lack it immensely as all our players want to cut inside.

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Yeah should have kept went to 442. Garnacho touch was otf this match so no issues taking off but amad should went to 10, with Mainoo Ugarte and Case behind the two in diamond. Bruno and Rash was off it again

[@Myke001]

It sounds fun, but in modern football 442 just doesn't work anymore. Teams either get dominated in midfield or overloaded down the flanks

[@RedDevilDog1207]

@@Myke001 not a flat 442...diamond. totally different and we were dominating possession and midfield until subs. Mainoo was dead and Bruno was not good. 442 diamond gives more beef to that attack after they took away wings. We already play diamond by pinching Dalot. Just adjust it a bit

Rio really torpedoed his own show by changing the format.

[@elleonken7599]

We have seen over the years many players who looked average in a certain position, become a different beast when they change positions. The latest example is Joelinton at NEW. Zirkezee may not have the instincts and finishing of a CF, but he's showing plenty of ability to link up play in the final third. Maybe that's where he could thrive for MU.

[@mojojojo6292]

Aye he seems like he would thrive in Brunos 10 role. He has the creativity but he's also incredibly physical and could do the dirty work in midfield better than Bruno. Could see him sparking a good partnership with Hojlund too. Having 2 big guys up front would open a lot more long ball and cross options as well. I did see Onana choosing to go long with 1 of the the goal kicks and ZZ was the target.

[@Boric78]

That Mazraoui is nothing sort of brilliant. Best first few games since Bruno. His happiness is becoming essential to our success in the future. So I hope people are nice to Mrs Mazraoui in the street, she finds the food and shops exciting, her children's teachers are first rate and the ladies down the Mosque are warm and welcoming. Finally, can we sack the scouting department and just open a line to Bayern and talk numbers. Because if the two they didn't want are this good at football, what are the ones they want to keep like ?

[@BMAMendel]

The best years for Mazraoui and De Ligt are still to come. They already know the way ETH wants to play. Both good defensive but also a threat in offense. It is no surprise that the defense is a lot better than last season. Now we only have to improve the offense😊!!! Have a little patience!!! The results will come!!!

[@Bloodnok49]

I am avoiding the politics of this, but suffice it to say that Bayern wanted Mazraoui out, for different reasons but in the same compelling way United felt it necessary to undersell Greenwood. So there is kharma in operation: we lost Greenwood cheaply, but picked up Mazaroui cheaply. It would not surprise me if Bayern have inserted a sharing clause if Mazraoui were to be resold, in the same way United have done so with Greenwood.

[@Boric78]

[@rana1561]

We are coming from a horrible away record, the performance and setup was a massive improvement from where we were, you don't get results immediately after moving towards a sustainable system, now this base requires continuous adjustments, better analysis of squad rotation, improving final third movement, improving positional rotation, all these things will come with time. But they need to stick to this approach, and be allowed patience, also, I think we can further squeeze the field in the middle, that'll help our creative players because they definitely get tired, problem is, now teams will be vary of giving space behind them, and this will further ask for patience in possession, and conversting chances will get difficult because the game won't be as open, this will result in frustrating games, but starting it early can help our young attackers start working on their finishing earlier now.

Bruno offers way more than goals and assists. He has also now started to play deeper and not as a second striker.

He just couldn’t get the final pass right.

[@jamiemorgan2972]

Last season fans wanted performances like this, even when Utd managed to win games the performances were so so bad. Goals could well be an issue all season or things might click and players find consistent form but with the emergence of Diallo and bringing in Zirkzee there is a little more depth so I’m not sure the criticism of ETH for bringing on players who could well have started the game is entirely justified. If you are winning a game make a sub and end up drawing or losing because of the tactical mistake then yeah have a go at ETH.

I don’t know how many times I’ve said it on your videos starting with last season, but if we continue playing Bruno as a no. 10, he will end up in a spectacular burnout. The no. 10 position demands skills that he simply does not possess and forcing him to do it is painful for me to watch, because I know he will sacrifice himself to do it. Everybody acknowledges that Casemiro isn’t played to his strengths but no one seems to spot the same thing with Bruno. I think someone has to tell both him and EtH to get him back to his basics, to his Sporting roots where he played as a no. 8, always facing the goal, directing the game from deep, arriving late in the box and most importantly placing those shots - he even lost this mastery too and he was one of the best in the world when he came from Sporting. He was scoring with both feet even from outside the area. The only way to do it is to swap positions with Mainoo which I think would also suit Mainoo better, his futsal skills can really come into play and make a difference.

[@billsfan7883]

Rashford just doesnt work hard defensively. Thats when Martinez’s game changed. Marcus came on and the threat is there, yes, but we are WAY easier to play against. Licha started playing more aggressively at this point, which affected the defense, and led to them being able to carry the play. Bruno also changes as a player, and he starts to spray passes, trying to find Marcus on the home run ball, which makes us easier to defend. So, now we are easier to play against and easier to defend… more threatening though…

[@_cagey]

What Zirkzee does for us reminds me a little of what Firmino did for the bin dippers. He’s bringing our wingers into the game more and although he’s not scoring, our wingers look much better currently because of Zirkzee’s movement

[@TheNaz1996]

We have to try Zirkzee & Hojlund together, I think could be a great partnership. Zirkzee is more Sheringham than Shearer- not fair or realistic to expect bagful of goals himself, but could bring lots of goals for Hojlund and Garnacho with his intelligent play.

[@justonemorego4079]

I thought Zirkzee pressed really good actually - covers the ground deceptively well even though he's huge lol In some ways better than Bruno too due to his positioning. Man is class. I can even see him scoring 20+ in PL once he beds in over a season of 2. I hope he maintains his workrate. Buzzin

10:04 Steph, you are 100% correct with your comments on Bruno. I respect Bruno but i have to keep it a buck, his positioning and patience is such a liability. Sometimes, he does not position himself to push the attack forward and the patience with the ball can be crazy. I do appreciate his drive for attack but in a game such like that, we needed level headedness and retention - whereas he was playing as if it was the last 5 mintues of the game. And honestly, that aspect of his mentality towards the attach is the one thing i think separates him from the likes of KDB. If could only know to be more reserved like Odeegard, but can kindle that flare at points, he would be a phenomenal force in all game situations

Some times I just need a day off before I watch the post match videos..

[@ChoreoVibes]

Bruno has been bad since LAST SEASON. He made 6 good games at the end of the season and people forgot how bad he was all along. People are always saying that if Bruno was surrounded by technical players he would be magic...I always think that it's the opposite. Being surrounded by technical players will exposed Bruno MASSIVELY for his lack of control and abilities. We will see it really soon.

[@civildiscourse7626]

He hasn’t been the Bruno his fanboys claim since ole tbh

[@daviddeepred8446]

Watching him for Portugal disproves that theory. I just think he’s out of form at the minute.

[@civildiscourse7626]

[@pawal_1999]

​@@daviddeepred8446 I guess you mean watching him for Portugal v Luxembourg , because when they played France , he was the first player to get subbed. Portugal have beaten nobody of merit since Bruno became a big player for them. Morocco and a below par France were enough to see them off.

[@CryHavocAlonsus]

I like to hear your input when we loose or draw more than when we win sometimes, glad to hear you agree we played well and it’s not just me being biased.

[@houssamadnane271]

Wait till y’all see the link up with mazraoui and anthony,mazraoui was the dani alves of anthony in ajax

[@BeirBuaMusic]

We’ll get there, we played great done everything but score , sometimes football goes like that, trust the process ❤️

[@arnookibeast]

Ste, 100% correct as you've said about zirkzee and Rasmus playing together, zirkzee's hold up play and close control are the best I've seen from any United player in a long while, could be a mint combo.

[@benIestrange]

I really would like to see Zirkzee and Hojlund play together. Whether you have to drop Bruno or move him further back as a deeper lying play maker, I don’t know. But I think integrating both in to the starting 11 against teams that are defensively solid will be key to us unlocking them. Hope it happens soon, but I’m happy with the progress this season, even if that isn’t necessarily translating in to points on the board so far.

[@donnyblackburn1754]

Absolutely loving de ligt he’s fucking quality

[@Toshu9]

These Europa league seasons can be really useful for developing the team. The relatively easy mid week games can build confidence and help us to try new tactics.

[@hapaluku]

De Ligt was my MOTM yesterday. Class player

[@shanegray6212]

People forget Eriksen used to be a pure 10, Bruno can definitely adapt his game because he has the ability and passing range. He just needs more patience but we need to have patience with him too when he starts playing deeper because it might not work right away

[@thrilla72]

3:49 I think the one sub, EtH should have made was Rashford for Garnacho. Zirkzee is beneficial to Rashy's game

[@paulstockton7121]

Yep. Rashfords best season was when Weghorst dropped deep, linking up and pulling a CB out of position.

[@drakepittman8800]

I always watch even when United lose. I love the channel as a fan, but your analysis has helped me understand the game better.

[@Hyde_Hill]

What really annoyed me was the analysis at MoTD. Instead of actually going in depth they basically went "Should have bought Toney" like wth?

[@melletard]

I don't have the same feeling about amad... I think he creates and it's a danger, but I feel takes to long to make a decision. Slows down the attack on the edge of the box. Feel there were many times throughout the season he could've made the early pass/cross for Zirkzee, but took too long and it didn't materialize.

[@eoinmulcahy1]

The Bruno issue is a huge problem. He's not producing what everyone gives him credit for. He's not a figure of authority in the dressing room, he has the position but doesn't have the respect. He will remain a problem until he's sold.

[@asifiqballyricist]

I felt midfield was suspect in 2nd half. They lost edge to Palace midfield and their tactical adjustment. The tactical change was required. Bruno should have been replaced in 2nd half and Zirkzee should not have left field

[@wheezyfreire3830]

If we weren't united and any other club people would be praising the growth and total direction flip we have pulled off. but they have 20 years of PTSD and jealousy pent up that now people are just running with the chance to drag us though the mud , Thick skin and trusting thr process we'll be back in the future this isnthe best football I've seen us play in terms of structure and style since ferguson , GGMU

[@kevinguthrie6226]

In hindsight the subs were the right personnel on but the wrong ones off - Rashford should have come on for one of the wide men, Ugarte for Mainoo.

[@markhemingway3393]

I watch you as a united fan in Canada 🇨🇦 love you here don’t change or stop

[@joeduffy1502]

Stick by your guns Steve. Your talking sense man. Good idea to allow Zirksee and Hojland play together as a front two. Hojland will definitely see more of the ball. The only spanner in the works is Ten Hag’s stubbornness. He tends to persevere with failed pet strategies a tad too long. But necessity ( & flexibility) is the mother of invention… and it may save Ten Hag his job.

[@NisGaarde]

Eriksen adds something really good to the flow IMO. So underrated. When he got taken off it all clogged up.

[@rwalker0130]

Ten Hag stop relying on Bruno so much! If he is playing poorly don't be afraid to sub him out. Even with Mount always injured you could push up Erikson or Mainoo, put Zirkzee or Amad in at 10 or even put Casemiro in there. We have options other than just Bruno every minute of every game. Dude has been really poor his last two Prem starts.

[@predragtolmachev3883]

Felt to me that we were trying to be too cute and fancy with the final ball. People gotta pick their heads up sometimes and put a shot on frame. We made more chances than Palace but I don’t think felt threatening outside of De Ligt’s header and Garnacho hitting the bar. The few chances Palace had were nerve racking and were really lucky to have such a great GK and that Eze absolutely fluffed his lines. And it’s like you said Ste, if one of those goes in, I don’t see United pushing on to equalize and then take the lead.

[@muthonigabriel8245]

When I see mazraoui in the starting 11 I just easen up

[@tommills9575]

He's class

[@tshepisombata]

Now that Malacia is back. I wonder if he will play in place for Dalot or Mazraroui

[@colepearson956]

I feel like 0-0 isn't the worst thing in the world for us. Palace always seem to have been a bogey team for United. Improvement from the same fixture as last season. Clean sheet. I'm usually very pessimistic about United but I'm not really going to grumble about this one.

[@RedDevilDog1207]

Maz ability was never in question it was his injury record. Thought Bruno, Nacho and Rash were well off it again. Garnacho touch was woeful and he was in the way a lot. Would have liked to see Hojilund and Zirk in 442, with Ugarte Case Eriksen and Amad behind them. Mainoo trending now on 50 solid min but not finishing games out on solid legs. Gotta be better managed. And DeLigt header would have brought down the house if it went in.

[@dj_mr_t4754]

I would like to see us play 2 strikers somehow. Bring back the 2 striker football. I think hoijund and zirkzee would be class playing together.
