Who should replace Erik Ten Has as the next permanet Manchester United manager? 🤔

[phenomenals]

Please even if he somehow wins 20 games in a row, don't give him the job, I can't stand going against another legend when these players throw them under the bus again

[Bigbin]

You're selling me dreams... but, I'm in 😭

[lukaspolganoski]

Great stuff dave, couldnt agree more with harry amass and zirkzee. We brought zirkzee on for 2 upfront yesterday and it worked. Been saying we shouldve tried that in the 2nd half against palace, porto and fenerbache. Whenever we're not winning we should go for it as it shows alertness from the manager and brings it to the team. As for harry amass although he might not be ready he still has what we need going forward, the rest will come with experience. Amad needs more game time aswell. Looking forwards to your next vid 👍

Wow Dave you are fast! Erik did not even left the building yet 😅

[Pat]

Ruud was always the interim in waiting.
Even ETH could see that. That's why he looked like a dead man walking from August.

Its sad and it just feels like a revolving door Statman Dave! The videos were out of how Ten Haag played at Ajax and would revolutionize the team and here we are back at square one to be showing how an interim manager will set up the team. Ruud has nothing to lose. I really thought that Amass would have got some game time against Barnsley but for whatever reason he was not in the squad. We cannot go on with the left back situation as it currently stands so Amass needs minutes for development.

A new manager has to also be willing to try different formations to improve results based on the opposition. We have not seen that really for any incoming manager. What about Reuben Amorim? Can you do a profile on him?

Bruno with Casemiro in midfield pivot 😂😂😂

[claywandera]

amad is a better player in tight places compared to rashy. have rashy keep left wing wide and amad in right half space and bruno in left half space. have dalot overlap. this is what i see as a set up for RVN
when shaw gets back, he has a very good half space cross as seen in games against chelsea (casemiro goal) and villareal (ronald goal) even alvaro would do this well.
garnacho would also provide plan b on either wing especially with different full backs who need to be attacked diffrently

[curtish]

The usual great Statman Dave job. Would like to hear commentary on future Mainoo role

[richardharris]

I do agree with you here but we've also seen variations of what you're saying RVN will do with complete failure, many times, with these players. So it's difficult to feel optimistic in this moment. Sometimes when managers have left before, it's a sad moment but a moment of relief as well, that someone else will come and drag them forward. I'm really not sure this time, as we've been around and around so many times now... However, if RVN can implement some simple and clear methods for attacking and defending, then I am hopeful it can improve. The players have seemed lost in almost all of their play for over a year now. We really don't know how they attack or defend effectively... as they rarely do. A part of me wishes he goes gung ho, a bit like Ole did at the beginning, just to help drag them out of this and give them some more confidence scoring.

[nateraymond]

I seriously hope to see Amass get game time. I'm glad we have Mazroui but Amass has so much potential and needs to be played.

[nauxsi]

What is the point of Hojlund when no one knows how to cross the ball?

[manas_]

well is does not really matter what tactics or who is the manager of united coz if these players dont adapt to the system then nothings gonna work ....like bruno was doing that risky passing with ole he did that in eths first season when he was using different tactics to the current and bruno is still doing that..same goes for lot of players we have... and well we do have a BIG LUKE SHAW problem on top of that.

[utkarshkumar]

Wow this approach could be used against high press high line teams like Barca this season, you can let them press you and then have a quick transition as they play so high and also there keeper is likely trying to sweep. Very interesting style of play thanks dave.

[ahux]

This is great and all, but one major problem... the starting 11 just isn't that good.

[Bo_Hazem]

Dave looks furious but trying his best to keep it clean without swearing.🤣I feel you, mate.

[mahadasif]

I was waiting for this video, can help understand what to expect for the near future before we hopefully sign a manager to play exciting football (again).

[chibbyranjo]

Bruno played a really disciplined FA Cup final. But it was in that game that Ten Hag seemed to decide that we were supposed to line up like that every game from then on. Bruno runs further than almost anyone in a defensive sense, but that can’t be doing anything positive for his ability to show up when needed to make goal contributions. One of West Ham’s chances on Sunday was being contested with Bruno at left-back and struggling to keep Antonio out.

[aimanathani]

Correct me Dave.

This is exactly how we played v Brentford in the second half where we controlled/dominated the game. This wasn't followed up post that game. Yes in that game it was eriksen and casemiro. Think with Ugarte we can go high pressing and compress the middle of the park!

Think Licha as an auxillary lcb, starting as a lb will give that balance .
