now lets continue with our managers . lets talk man utd . man utd had the worst season this year and they really struggled in the league although they reached the finals of the uefa league . they had ten had at the first then reuben amorin later . first off if you want to build a good team then you need to have good players in the team . man utd's players buying policy had been very bad . they had the worst and inflated transfers . i dont know but who is overlooking the transfers and they way they are throwing money on stupid and washed up players is just incredible . i am not going to blame the owners cause they had spent the money but if its not spent wisely on good players then how are they responsible . how come you buy players like mason mount,zirzkee even de ligt . i mean zirzkee come is even football . just look at his passing i mean the kids pass way better than him. what is mason mount forward,midfielder what is he . i mean if you buy players that too at inflated price then its just stupidity .
lets talk the real issue . even after so many defeats in the premier league utd board had kept faith in amorin and are getting the players that he wants . utd struggled in the league but went the final europe league . utd won against man city but struggled against low ranked side . the thing is that when team played european game utd won those game easily because utd are coached the european game but when they face teams who are counter attacking then utd struggled . let me give you an example utd won against athletic bilbao but struggled against lyon and too in the second leg . let me tell you why . athletic played the euroepean game they played the slow game trying to build from the back , get players in position and then have a good offense but consider lyon. utd struggled against lyon because what lyon did was that instead of building from the back especially in the second half . instead of trying to build they just tried to play ball from back to front very quickly and tried to release cherki behind the utd defense . they just accelerated the pace of the attack and played a quicker counter which the teams in the premier league do ( especially the lower rank teams ) . utd struggle against these kind of offense .
the reason being that utd play 3-5-2 formation .now when you play a back three then you have spaces and in that is what the opponent try to explore and that is what utd needs to coverup for which they need to have very good central midfielders as well as a commanding presence in the back . one who can read the game and can direct his troops and execute the game plan . the troubel with utd is that is they some loose screws who let the game fall apart like casmeiro, mount , maguire and zirkzee these need to be shifted asap . the offense style is not bad but its the defense which will take some working and there need to be addition of some good players to the squad and i think they need a good midfielder who can tick the game along side fernandes.
as i was writing utd played a game against leeds and there was news that there was lack of pace in the utd team . to be honest the team needs cohesion rather than pace . players dont add the pace but its the ball who adds the pace and when it is moved crisply then automatically pace is added to the game .let me give you an example reasl madrid has the most speedy players in the world . but they play with very slow speed because the ball is not passed very crisply compare that with barcelona who dont have the speediest players but then the ball is passed quickly . what happens when you pass the ball quickly . when you pass the ball you change the angle of attack at every pass and you open new possibilities with every pass . the defense has to adjust with every pass because if they dont then they can get opened . so coming back to utd . utd needs to have somebody in the middle of the park who can really have that understanding of the game plus a good game reading cause let me tell you psg won the ucl because of the player they bought last summer . they bought jao neves and that little destroyer in the middle of the park just made psg dominant . that is what man utd want . man utd under amorin play european football and they need to have a player like joao neves who can do the job for them on both ends. i think amorin would have only 10- 12 game before his head is on he chopping block so it would be better to get the team performing or else somebody else will take the hot seat.
