Why THIS Was The Key To Manchester Uniteds 2-1 Win Over Man City!

[@anisha6918]

ManU Ugarte was incredible. City players were absolutely frustrated by him. I felt like with his movement and intelligence he was covering two player. The guy is a menace. And his passing and compusre on the ball was impressive as well. Please bro if you can do his review and his role in this system and how he is been performing, I would love to see that. I think he has been our key player for the past months or so.

[@notharryhindsight7746]

Ugarte has been superb. I love him. He just does his job. Keeps the ball, covers ground, wins duels, intercepts.

[@Mopark25]

He's gradually becoming our very own Rodri, in terms of importance. Essential we get Collyer in as understudy so we don't end up in the same situation as City.

[@Rio01Man]

He's just good on simple passes...he will never make a good technical diagonal pass😂

[@ademoyekehinde505]

​@@Rio01ManWhat? You've never watched ugarte

[@Rio01Man]

@ademoyekehinde505 he's good at just winning back the ball and making simple backward passes....when did you ever see him making long technical diagonal passes,or even dribbling past players!?

[@AJAnalysis]

Steady improvement

[@sahibdeepsingh467]

I wonder what we all thought of Antony’s performance? Seemed like a breath of fresh air when he came on in comparison to Dalot’s attacking threat and brought out the best in Amad.

[@notharryhindsight7746]

He brings the best out of Amad than Dalot. Dalot is careless on the ball and doesn't use the pace he has wisely. Constantly making back passes too. So he rarely helps whichever 10 he is playing next to.

[@pixotass]

I've been noticing Antony is rising in performance with Amorim!

[@Spudjuice-s9c]

Different player under Amorim 💯 - I believe we will the Ajax Anthony we all hoped for under this coach.

[@enriquesalvador9904]

@@notharryhindsight7746I’m hoping it’s mostly cause he’s playing on his weaker side, but he hasn’t been that impressive under Amorim yet

[@notharryhindsight7746]

@enriquesalvador9904 For me, its his decision making. He rarely takes on his man. Forexample yesterday, Walker was on a yellow card and has been struggling but Dalot didn't take him on. His crosses are usually poor. He loses possession a little too easily. He is poor defensively. The biggest problem is his decision making though. I think he is just not the quality needed.

[@scottsinner7530]

I think Amorim and the players managed things really well. Patient, controlled, took advantage when it was available. Zero legit chances allowed from open play against Arsenal and City is really impressive.

[@MrGts92]

​@Gregg4886 first half was terrible. What I d iot thinks that playing the ball backwards when there's an obvious ball forwards or misplacing passes is quality?

[@MrGts92]

First half was, and then on top of that we conceded a goal despite City messing up their corner. You don't honestly think that's exciting 😂😂

[@DuskPatrol]

Blows my mind that the majority of the pundits said Man City controlled the entire game. There is no stat that validates this. And the eye test didn't validate it either. Great video as always

[@igavinwood]

A clear change is taking place at MU. It feels different this time. Adding a sub after watching a few of your vids over the last 3 months. I like your style. Only two other channels covering MU have my sub as the vast majority either trash talk or talk trash :) It's good to see someone taking the time to work through the argument being presented. Good luck in reaching the 45k sub mark. PS - How good were the subs?

[@AJAnalysis]

Hope it was worth the wait, what a win!

[@L3g0la5]

Spot on analysis. Man of the Match would probably be Amad based on what he did for the 2 goals. But Ugarte, Maguire and Licha all had very strong cases. The rest of the team collectively did very well too. Even Hojlund despite not being on the scoresheet who should have been awarded a penalty after being completely taken out by Dias and on another day would have gotten an assist if Bruno's chip did not sail just wide. When discussing with my mates, the most important thing now is that Amorim has brought a solid structure and playstyle to United. Under ETH, the players were playing like they were completely lost on what exactly they should be doing. But now, game by game, we are seeing improvements. Even in the games that United lost. It can be noted that the defeats stem more from individual errors then tactical structure. As long as they persist in building the team around Amorim's tactical structure, I think us United fans can be more optimistic for the future.

[@francisfree2010]

Very good!! 👍👍

[@ademoyekehinde505]

I told a friend, im waiting for AJ's analysis breakdown and most especially that intro when he says united 2 and city 1, and he didn't disappoint😂❤❤

[@bolshoiibooze]

Manchester is Red ❤ Not playing Rashford and Garnacho was the difference and brave but important decision by Amorim. Love Amorim.

[@israelcm7246]

He did the right thing, otherwise low performing players will get him fired. He needs to have no passengers on his team, plus it sets an example to the squad.

[@haolunhangsing211]

We have won big games before but the difference this time is we actually played football. Possession was more or less equal which is the most important thing. The FA Cup final we had 24% . This is exciting. Its one thing to unleash Rashford or Garnacho and hit them on the counter and completely another to play and win. I would still be happy even if we lost narrowly as it is clear progress. Remember guys we may lose again but at least we are playing football against the big boys.

[@SF-sh3ed]

I want hojilund to make more runs behind (also drop deep to receive the ball). He tends to stay with the defenders. More movements in the final third will make our attacking more dynamic and we will eventually score more

[@genghiskhanjunior9581]

Rasmus done ok, he should have had a penalty and his through ball to Bruno was great link up play. It was nice to see Rasmus standing up for himself against Walker aswell. Rasmus could be a beast now he's getting his man strength 💪 😂

I know amad stole the show and all that, but could we take sometime and appreciate maguire He was fantastic. Haaland was nowhere to be found. And when antony came on, amad suddenly came to life❤❤

[@jakobpienaar5727]

The Greater Manchester Metropolitan Police have issued an arrest warrant for Maguire after a tip off Haaland has been harassed and bullied by Harry Maguire 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Eddie_theEagle]

Can we all take a moment to acknowledge Ugarte putting out fires left right and centre then plucking the ball from the sky and back healing it to Martinez for Amads winner. Maguire might be our best middle CB. Mazroui needs to be protected at all costs what a player. I’d like to see Antony and Amad on the right start now though Antony has been influential both times coming on at RWB Wasn’t the greatest performance but we was way better than City in the second half and we did it without supposedly good players in Rashford and Garnacho

[@hollabronze9288]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about urgate. He was a monster in this game

[@cybermanne]

Ugarte was immense. And probably the MVP of this match. Without him we could probably have struggled a lot in the middle. But Amad was also very good throughout the match. And since he scored the winner, and got us the penalty for the equalizer he has to be MOTM. Maguire, Mazraoui, Bruno, Martinez also stood out to me.

[@AtroTenebris]

[@AJAnalysis]

Yeah Ugarte was brilliant! The whole team performance was so good that I didnt want to focus on individuals too much (will do that in another video) 💚

[@MrGts92]

Amad is the reason why Bruno has avoided criticism.

[@olavictor6286]

Great analysis as usual, i thnk we need to sign a lwb this January, dalot is not just performing.

[@genghiskhanjunior9581]

Dalot is not a LWB he's doing a job for the team in the short term. I'm not saying Dalot is world class or anything but when the squads more settled he could still contribute in different positions imo, he's versatile.

[@toxin2396]

From what I've been reading, United is looking at Theo Hernandez (probably not gonna happen but it would be massive if it did)

[@myleshasell453]

Spurs in midweek will be interesting

[@Lee-d9n]

I think we will win but it will be close

[@ritwikjs]

once we get a proper lwb, our build up will be so much quicker, meaning players like hojlund will actually be getting service instead of having to drop deep for it

[@WolePhoenix]

Imagine having good wingbacks in this system. The signs are really positive in terms of implementing a system and a style of play. The recruitment has to be spot on in the future

[@toriolajohn3460]

Your analysis is on point. I noticed a lot of the things you mentioned also.

[@AWY-LO]

Amad went into super saiyan mode after kicking himself on the goal post.

[@danmzungu3427]

I heard some people say Manchester United didn’t play well just Ahmed, Bruno was put through one on one. We should’ve had another penalty. There was a cross put in for Ahmed for a head. He probably should’ve done better. The amount of passes through the lines that I’m at shouldn’t have been offside, but was wasn’t Ahmed‘s work. It was great passing. I thought we looked tidy up ball aggressive in the press the difference between man United and Manchester city Manchester city kept trying to shoot from outside the box, Manchester United tried passing through the lines and getting clear opportunities and we succeeded.

[@notharryhindsight7746]

The players I wanted to start started. Maguire, Mount, Ugarte, Mazraoui, Amad, De Ligt, Martinez, Bruno, Amad, Rasmus. Wanted Dalot to start but more out of lack of options at lwb. Going forward we need wing backs, more of a winger type wingback like Amad not like Dalot or Malacia. Need wing backs who'll take people on and be dangerous in attack.

[@bolajude7328]

AJ is simply the G.O.A.T of analysis

[@98563214789]

Amorim always wants his back 3 to deliver the ball. The 2 cam or inside forwards then look for space between the opponent's forwards and wingers. To break this tactic, the opponent team i think needs to play 442 diamond shape with 2 solid midfielders to close gaps quickly. Man city defenders and midfielders now become so slow in both thinking and doing. It is the consequence of Pep's strategy to put 4 central defenders in a game, making his team so slow and not able to follow the other team's attackers.

[@rehanmalik1952]

Ugarte and Maguire were solid. But Dalot can't be playing at LWB for long.

[@Mackerdaymia]

Good analysis. Hopefully Amorim learns that we can be braver with those long balls against teams that leave space behind. The control was welcome and unexpected but 3-4 more of those chances created with a direct ball in and we could've won easily and embrassed Pep

[@LentonLosper]

Wasn't leny yoro brought to replace maguire in the future?

[@genghiskhanjunior9581]

Maguire if he stays fit could play for another couple of years easily, we need cover on the left side of the defence before thinking about replacing Maguire. Maguire would probably accept a pay cut on a two year deal or something like that. Lindelof needs replacing though and I think he'll probably leave as his contracts nearly up I think.
