After years, pretty much only effective attacking threat from united is still Bruno's passes looking for Rashford's pace.

[@nont18411]

Which is terrible, considering there is no variety of attacking threat at all.

[@dual_5928]

Agree ​@nont18411 they need better tactics... their 1st phase is so slow

[@aakarmamtora3470]

Because it's clear they're missing key players especially in midfield and defense who can provide a base. Your comment is reductive

[@aakarmamtora3470]

​@@dual_5928probably because they had a 5th choice centerback and a rb playing at lb which didn't help in build up. Shaw was gonna start but wasn't fit

[@dual_5928]

@@aakarmamtora3470 yup but still even tottenham are missing players but they still play well... All I am saying is man utd is not that great at executing their tactics that is why they are losing games lately regardless of the personel if they have a philosophy of play it should be clear from the get go. Something is wrong they should have a pattern of play. They are bit clueless in offense mostly

[@herle]

Don't underestimate the Højbjerg-Bentancur partnership, they can dominate the midfield against any team. they did last time Spurs had a good run, but Bentancur got injured and Højbjerg out of favor, but now they where back (called in as backups) and I'm not surprised by the result.

[@andrewthornton6192]

Hojberg isn’t need enough to beat a press by taking on a man and isn’t up to it in quick short passes, I can see why he doesn’t get a game normally same as skipp.

[@iknowball1301]

don't really think it was a end to end encounter first half yes but bar that mc tominay chance united hardly had a sniff second half.

McToilet nearly scored in the 60th minute or so too. Clear chance and he pulled it.

Once again this channel is downplaying Spurs' merits. Not surprised, you do it every single game. Arsenal fan probably, it's tiring.

[@aakarmamtora3470]

Yeah because united didn't have any players missing at all. Martinez, casemiro, shaw, mount and martial all out. Plus malacia maguire and lindelof are also injured who are depth players. But nooo let's only make excuses for poor little spurs. Injuries effected both teams so take off your united hating glasses and look at it properly

[@alykoresh1957]

Great work as always

You should do a tactical analysis of Real Madrid vs Barcelona since Real Madrid dominated the match except in possession phases.

[@atx6249]

[@chris.48]

Please can you do a tactical analysis on the Real Barca game please. Cuz I think Xavi was too naive and his lack of experience showed from playing a high line against a team like Madrid.

[@roykoushik4685]

Where is the elclassico video man. That is the biggest game in the world. That should be your first choice. Anyway good work.❤

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

Translation of the first few minutes: United have no actual plan for the trigger or press and instead just chased their player around like headless chickens opening up passing angles.

[@MK12275]

Given the quality of the squad only this no style is possible because these players can't play a specific style of football so only hope is a huge clearout

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

@@MK12275 Sure thing, mate. Every single United player is absolute dross and can't play any tactical style at all. 🤡🤡 We have more talent all but maybe 3 or 4 teams in the league. We just don't use it. Even if we somehow didn't (Which is just bollocks), Ten Hag was given half a billion to spend on improving the squad. Brighton would get two teams of quality players for half a billion. There are no more excuses for Ten Hag. He just isn't good enough.

[@Lonii7]

I reckon its BeNtancur :) Great video!

You hear names like martinez casemiro and shaw and then realize all of them are missing for a team so it's obvious they're gonna struggle defensively. Yet people won't point it out because it's united

[@hariantowijaya1937]

no matter who plays united will played the same, ten hag philosophy is for united to be best transitional team aka counter attack football

[@danieldhesi7151]

U struggled defensively at the start of the season when they olayed?

[@tomdeloford6856]

AWB was on the right because Hag identified Johnson as a threat and he did really well to nullify it. Dont forget Spurs missed Maddison, Son, Kulusevski, Bissouma and Sarr. Romero, Van De Ven and Bentancur are also just back from long injuries.

[@carlrobota]

I think it bears mentioning that Tottenham deliberately "retreated" back to VDV and Romero many times in the second half to bait United out of the low block, and then snapped into action with incisive line-breaking passes and dribbles. It's really similar to what Liverpool have done for a while now ('cause everyone is scared shitless of them) in creating artificial transitions to make space for themselves while retaining the ball.

[@tokilladaemon]

Yeah ange is good at getting the players to create their own space through strategic positioning. It can be risky but it really speeds the game up when youre on the front foot

[@QuotidianStupidity]

So Ange is copying Klopp as we as Pep, fantastic!

do you think that this man mark style can neutralize the various attacking schemes of spurs' high inverted backs? Should other teams copy it

[@alvinbernasko1464]

No when you have players like son maddison and bissouma ( press resistance) you'll find trouble for yourself and you'll need lots of energy to man mark udogie and porro bentancur whem playing the 6 is press resistance so imagine having bissouma and maddison all in midfield will be very dangerous with son up front

[@PTG44]

This game cried out for a Lo Celso off the bench, he would have been way better receiving the ball in the half-spaces and turning into space. Oliver Skipp is a good player but lacks that vision that maybe Lo Celso would have brought onto the pitch. I thought Bentancur did a better job at receiving the ball at the half-spaces but still was a bit wasteful.

[@stephensmith4240]

Lo Celso is injured again. Spurs had 2 keepers and 3 youth players on the bench. They are still threadbare.

[@PTG44]

@@stephensmith4240 I never mentioned they had Lo Celso on the bench A player like Lo Celso would have maybe given that killing edge for that Spurs team

[@GiftReginald-xd8ic]

It’s BEN-TAN-CUR It’s so easy man 😭😭

[@JO-ui9fl]

Ten Hag's tactical plan is to have no plan. Utd play like a bunch of individuals there is no plan - as shown by Rashford never passing or crossing the ball and always trying to take on everyone any chance he gets
