Remember that Sporting is one of the big Portuguese teams and has to play the majority of the matches against teams that solely defend. Just because it’s 3 at the back, it does NOT mean that his tactics are primarily defensive. In fact, it’s a modern version of the style of football that Ferguson played. It’s defensively solid, but extremely progressive offensively. Source: From a Sporting CP fan

Finally someone calling out Rashford for his output instead of blaming the manager.

[@obongo96]

Ten hag abandoned his ajax style to a transition team just to get the best out of him. Got 30 goals all comps 1st but when he needed him to continue Mr. Inconsistent could not and the system failed. Now Amorim comes in. Rashford doesn't fit in anywhere apart from a striker which he didn't want to play under Ten hag. If he creates a system to accomodate him he will get sacked.

Sporting were on a dark path and he came in and instilled his mentality and tactic and we are by far the best playing football team in portugal. His man management is amazing and the way he deals with media it’s amazing. Just look at how the media were when he was confirmed as United manager. Even the media miss him. He’s a fantastic manager and give him the rest of this season to put his plans in order and next season you’ll be fighting for top 4 maybe even the title.

Bring back Ste

[@JosMigueLe]

If we analyze Ruben Amorim’s arrival at Sporting in 2019, we can first observe that he changed the team’s formation to a back five, which significantly improved the team defensively. We also noticed that they conceded very few goals, meaning he started with the defensive process. Over the following seasons, he has made changes over time until reaching this season, where he maintained the defensive level but aims to score many goals and apply high pressure, something he did not do in his first season at Sporting. That said, I think he will approach Manchester United in the same way. First, he will seek to stabilize the squad and, over time, improve while maintaining the defensive process but with a focus on goals and pressure. PLEASE ANALYZE Sporting in the first season and the following seasons (despite finishing 4th in one of the seasons), he has been improving and rectifying certain aspects of the football played.

[@jedabela]

What Rio hasn't realised yet is that we didn't tune in to Vibe with 5 over other podcasts cause we are going to listen to some different tactical analysis, we watched to see the reactions after a crazy PL matchday from Ste, Joel and Rio just like how people are tuning in to DR sports for the weekend roundup show

I've noticed it since the last days of Mous' reign, our players just don't run enough. It's been 6/7 years. Team structure may play a part, but whatever structure you play, if the players don't run enough, you're bound to fail.

[@KayDauda]

20:09 - thank you Joe. Its a broken record at this point. According to the media expectation - ETH was going to be the golden child who brought discipline into the dressing room amongst all those egos, how did that end up? OLE was supposed to be the legend who brought happiness and made us play expressive football, how did it turn out? Ragnick was the tactician who taught Jurgen everything he knows about "the press" and will make United a monster club, look how it turned out. For me... No big expectations from Amorim, until he's in the job.

[@ic0nnect]

Very very good points on the pressing, Rio tried to make it about the manager or system, But Jody shut it down. The players have to be willing to press. I’m really starting to question Rios tactical ability.

[@Itskevooo17]

Rio there is absolutely no shot this is the video being man. You, a man that has been crying out for an identity and style of play, wants a man with that exact thing to come in here and change what he does. You can't even give the man a chance to try his own philosophy

[@bryanwilson9657]

The Balon should go to the best player in any position on the field. You cannot win anything without defence, midfield and Strikers, or false strikers. Why should a player like Des Walker not be considered. The song I remember was "You'll never beat Des Walker" Too much emphasis placed on Strikers for the Balon. Good to see variety. A true football fan.

[@primvsrex]

The thing that pisses me off is everyone now talking about RA, his preferred formation (343) and the "man utd style" wtv that's supposed to be by now... and I can clearly see that everyone in the UK only started watching how sporting has been playing, this week. Ruben's playstyle/formation is not boring, sporting has been scoring a lot of goals, their routines are so dynamic.. I'm a sporting fan and I'm sad RA is leaving before the end of the season, but gonna start watching man utd again. You couldn't get a better coach than RA right now

[@verbon47]

Isn’t it more of a 3421 tho? He has played that way more then an actual 343. Trincao and goncalves are playing way more down the middle then what actually wingers do.

[@primvsrex]

@verbon47 that's why I mentioned their dynamics. The actual formation/players positioning changes according to the situation. The base formation it's a 343, but sometimes might look like 523 or 3421 and some other times they change into 4 at the back. It's very versatile. So it can't be fully described by the formation if that makes sense, but all the processes within the match

[@CalMillward]

27:00 I believe the point Rio is trying to make is that the Ballon D'or should be the most entertaining footballer, the Ronaldinho of football. There needs to be an entertainer of the year award.

[@johnrichie8836]

Ballon'dor should just be several. Forwards, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers. You can never say how a forward is better then a GK, or the other way around. Then you can even talk about how a winger vs a central midfielders should be separate. Or a wing-back and a central defender.

[@Korede001]

This is good but we need to be putting Joel on ropes!! We need that banter alongside good football conversations. Ste should be a guest more often Rio..

[@Saaarmbii]

Becauee 4 at the back has served us so well over the last 10 years. Amorim is a progressive interesting coach. "Its not the Man United way" is all we have heard on the 3 at the back. Because thats served us so well over the last 10 years. The Man United way is long gone. Time for a new legacy.

Fun facts: 1-The top 3 in Italy, atm, play with 3 at the back. 2-Xabi Alonso won the Bundesliga with 3 at the back. 3-Guardiola evolved to an attack that has 3 at the back (don't be fooled at the TV graphics. Watch the games.) Question: if any of these managers came to United, would you be questioning their formations? Do you want a pretty formation or do you want to win games? Also, and finally, Amorim got hired not only for his football, but also for his preoccupation with the youth, his impatience with overpaid underperforming players and his ability to connect not only with the media but also with the players. Let the man do his job and judge him at the end.

[@CubzRealness92]

Spot on! They see 433 and think that’s pep’s way when really In attack is 2-5-3

[@joni.sirvio8867]

I like the discussion in general, but seriously enough of this charisma, personality stuff.

People like RIO are the reason United struggles. How can you say no manager has been able to get the better of Rashford. You should understand that at this stage in his career, he owes it to himself to show up and give 1000% every day. Marcus Rashford is the fundamental problem with United tactics, couple with Anthony, Sancho, Lukeshaw and Harry Maguire.

[@juanfernandes1987]

#AskRio: I’ve been a Sporting and Man United fan since Ronaldo joined in 2003. I’ve followed Amorim’s career closely since he arrived at Sporting, and I’m confident he’ll be among the world’s top three managers in the next 2-3 years. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to get the best out of every player and instill a team-first mentality-when the club succeeds, players stand out naturally. I think he’ll work hard to bring out the best in players like Rasmus Højlund, but if that doesn’t align with the club’s goals, he might consider bringing in Viktor Gyökeres. Do you agree that investing 100M in Gyökeres would be a good move? Thanks

[@khawajabilawal3151]

With these qualities of players, he will have no choice but to change his style until you give him quality players.

[@asifiqballyricist]

Man United players are characterised by 'unwilling to run', 'the structure', 'unwilling to play a high line of defence', 'rashford and garnacho unwilling to play Hojlund and play on their own'.
