I feel like when Rashford plays the team drops in everything especially mentality

[Aarya-vn]

I think we are let down by the 3rd CM choice to partner Kobbie and Bruno. We have Casemiro who is an anchor, a destroyer and basically suits transitional football because that was primarily how Madrid played (Kroos and Modric did all the technical work). Then, we have Eriksen who would be an ideal option for ETH's possession system BUT a 5-6 yrs younger version and then we have Scott for whom I feel very sorry and blame the coach who pushed him from an ST/SS to CDM. He just isn't a high-volume player uk, can't blame him. So, how do you expect ETH to set ONE STYLE OF PLAY when you have a squad of players accumulated from 4 different managers, their styles, and timelines. Logical right!? Maguire always looks good and he is lowkey elite when the play is IN FRONT OF him. He actually excels in almost everything when that's the case, aerials duels (never seen him lose one tbh), ball progression, long-range passing, closing down when necessary, and excellent box defender in addition to being a goal-scoring threat. So, last year we played a high line and that's why even Lindelof was preferred over him.
So, now, I hope fans understand why ETH chooses to play a low defensive line because it SUITS Maguire, Evans, and Lindelof!! (would be suicide to play a high line with them)
We must go for athletic, technical, and quick CBs (if they have these traits then they needn't be world-class names) and then I pretty much trust ETH to play a much more proper style but the MOST CRUCIAL signing is the CM/CDM who will partner Bruno and Kobbie. He has to be defensively sound, technical, and a hybrid no.6/8 so that he could have rotations with Kobbie.
Basically like someone with few technical skills from De Jong and defensive skills from Casemiro (22/23 Case). Tall, strong, technically sound, young and energetic. If we get that right AND with a fully fit squad, I don't see why ETH can't be successful. Even if fans feel a new manager is needed, the squad needs to undergo a huge change to give the new manager tools to succeed, so why not give it to ETH who imo has brought the best of the available players in both his 1st and 2nd season. Just look at the in-demand managers right now, Slot, Amorim, Motta, Nagelsmann. Recent poor results have made ppl forget that ETH is EXACTLY of that mold. We shouldn't think of a new manager because we have a good enough manager and for those who are ETH out, it wouldn't be wise to enter this manager merry-go-round. Back the manager, let's be patient and trust the process.👍

Bruno channel running was really good. Thats where we want him. dropping deep can be useful, but we need him mainly in that second striker role.

Left side is better with someone who will overlap, awb is either too slow or too scared. should either play amass or continue with awb on the right. its obvious how much weve missed a left back this year.

casemiro still looks better in that center back position, facing the play, with less pressure.

[shango]

In the first half Antony was the best of the front 3 and created 2 chances but people are saying he was poor. You know who was poor? Garnacho.

[steffonmartin]

I feel like in this game and last game … we play more short passes and safer ones too.. We protect d ball a lot better and was not forcing plays… a good example of that is maguire was dribbling forward with the ball and making passes in to the middle rather than going long on the winger … so ten hag should use this game and d 70mim of conventry and build on them, cut out then long passes and play more short passes for possession.. What your thought

[joni.sirvio]

what i liked yesterdays game was that 99% of attacks were NOT from wings.. mids gave ball to center too.

[paulmacdowall]

Feel Antony just playing too safe, keeping the ball and playing it back, not running and getting passed anyone. Dalot overlaps were good, and great performance by burno

[satyb]

I think people are being harsh on Onana, I'm not sure he could see Bogle lurking so thought he could pass it in front of Dalot, in fact where Dalot had been standing a second before. Bogle sprints forward and Dalot is caught flat footed. Admittedly the pass was slightly underhit but that has been a trait through the whole team all season. More to blame is Maguire standing near Bereton but deciding he join 3 other defenders to stand in front of the goal, leaving Brerton free to recieve the ball and have time and space to put the ball away. Something he would not have if Maguire knew anything about defending apart from heading. Again, that is a trait Maguire and most of the back line have shown all season. Do they not have cut backs in Holland ?

[smsm-xblt]

Nice to see you smiling AJ. I did like some of the fluidity with the attacks (Garnacho has to finish at least one of his chances!) and if Amad doesn’t start next game after having such an positive impact coming on in that game (and after ETH comments) I really just don’t know anymore.

Defensively though I’m still extremely worried. The lack of fundamentals there is truly concerning. It’s a make shift back 4 but if we look at the back 4s we’ve had under previous managers, some players included like Dalot, AWB and Maguire - who have all played under previous managers- have never lacked that much in the fundamentals or at least haven’t consistently lacked. Did Ajax have any sort of defensive records or does ETH not focus on defending at all?

[DawnKing]

Amad gives us more balance in the right than Anthony. He freed up Bruno in that second half.

[josephyearsago]

Onana's mistake as an amateur keeper I think its simply a miscommunication with Dalot, sometimes it just happen

[LeslieMathula]

Get Ten Hag Hybrid Defenders, A midfielder who can play 6 and 8, get Ten Hag depth, he will mould the squad to his image and deliver

[courtlandstavley]

I lost a parlay bet because Garnacho went over his predicted passes…even though he never has and book blows it out of the water. Was pretty happy though to see him passing more regardless

[dmitriykrashev]

Good video AJ. Damn that was good game in my opinion, I saw it differently than you. I think EtH made a big change in tactical approach: he start not correcting tactics for the individual qualities of the players, he starts to fit players into his tactics. Yes, different problems: lack of needed individual abilities in a lot of positions(most obvious progressive passes from CB), lack of understanding system and sometimes abilities to make it work( second goal), very “selfish” and not balanced attack (all players in front 3 want to score, Garnacho with Hojlund often was in same areas to score goals and both want to be “fox in the box”), but it works at least “not bad”, for me better than what we saw when EtH make a system to maximize Individual quality of the players. High press was better, def. line more often was higher, left wing starting to work, rotations was better, more chances, and simple just very beautiful football team…and Bruno…I was shocked with his movement to find a space and to manipulate the opposition, a lot of simple passes and still great creativity, very impressive. Hope that news about that Wilcox say to EtH something like “ no matter what, team now playing possession based football “ is true and we would see more of this.

[benedictjajo]

Rashford is like the most depressing player, it's like the opposite of having a great captain. 😂

[caffeine_]

This is basically what city did against us at home.
The difference was the they had grealish and bernardo silva...

[phillipberggren]

If we switch to a back three and buy two new defenders, then Martinez, Branthwaite and Todibo would be perfect. And Shaw, Lindelöf and Kambwala as backups.

[XboneMalone]

We conceded 3 (almost 4) vs a team in the Championship at the weekend, So only letting in 2 (both were presents from us) against a team in our own league is an improvement!

[Pengboycarti]

Alot of analysis and criticisms from these football analysis channels except when its the PR players who get away with our worst performances in Bruno, Garnacho and Hojlund.

Antony was our best forward yesterday yet he got no respect when Garnacho was horrible and could barely complete a pass and Hojlund, who was invisible until his scrappy tap in. Agendas.

[tadghmurphy]

What does Bruno have to do for the fans to like him?? He's top 10 premier league footballers of all time IMO. Always shows up
