Where do Amorim's United progress from? Which players are contributing most/least? I divide each player's playing time by position in the 3-4-3, plot their prog passes & carries & derive insights.

ttx - Liverpool hurt teams in many ways.
3rd goal came from baiting the press and exploiting space.
4-2 build-up stretched the pitch.
Pass to Alisson triggered the high press.
Staggered pivots enabled bounce passes.
Trent's weak-foot long ball surprised the press, and an aerial win sealed it.

Atletico's winner wouldn’t have happened without Rodrigo De Paul.
5 scans at least to check for runners and to study his surroundings, which him to recognize Barca's offside trap.
So, instead of the switch, which many other players would have chosen, he clocked Molina's run & played him through.

ttx - 1\2 Ruben Amorim didn't bring something groundbreaking to Manchester United. He simply brought more clarity!
My biggest issue after Spurs league game was how confused the players were in the press. Add how physically draining ETH's model was, and you get the usual OOP issues.

ttx- 1\3 Before the red card, Liverpool pressed m2m on one side, leaving Fulham a spare man on the other.
Silva’s side exploited this by playing over the press, targeting Jiménez’s runs and link-up with Wilson.
Even when Gomez won aerials, FUL often secured the 2nd balls.

Darwin Núñez might have other issues than finishing.
Sure, he’s relentless, but his pressing runs need work, especially when Liverpool aims to lock play to one side.
It’s the same mistake he made vs. Real Madrid and earlier vs Girona (2nd post), letting them play against the press.

West Ham, especially Emerson, owe Bowen a lot for that win.
No manager would ask their LB to press the GK right after clearing a set piece. This gave Wolves a numerical edge on the switch, leaving Summerville defending nearly three attackers to make up for that aimless press.

ttx - Fulham kept Arsenal at bay during this first half (1 shot and just 0.18xG from open play)
5-4-1 midblock: Close passing lanes to Ode and Saka by congesting the LHS, and force the Gunners to go to the left.
Timber's absence from RB is affecting AFC's dynamics too.

Fulham dealt with Arsenal set pieces in the 1st half. They did so by overloading the 1st post and anticipating the flood.
Notice the change here: Havertz lurks at the back post, and the others do not continue their runs to the 1st post.
Rice's delivery was soo good as well.

The build-up sequence to Fulham's goal against Arsenal was impeccable, but Raul Jimenez's movement was top.
Going behind Kiwior is so clever because it makes it so much easier when he receives the pass. Kiwior is no longer behind him and in control; rather, he is out of the whole picture.

ttx — These two moments leading up to the third goal Manchester United conceded do not only show why the team needs to prioritize an LCB\LWB, but they also highlight the main issues of this squad.
Temperament, mentality, action timing, and physicality are unfortunately not there.

AC Milan with one of the most fluid displays I've seen in a while.
Constant positional rotations are the best way to beat Atalanta's notorious m2m press, and Milan didn't fail to bring that to the game.
Morata & Pulisic dropping deep, Theo inverting, Fofana & Reijnders at LB, Leão at 10.

📝Last season, Tottenham finished with the third-highest xG conceded from set plays with 15.21, just below Burnley and United.
They’re also third this season with 5.38xG conceded, just behind Southampton and Leicester.
But apparently, Ange doesn’t need a set-pieces coach.

Arsenal dominated Manchester United out of possession with their hybrid (zonal -> man to man) press, while they were constantly able to create advantages in their own build up against United's passive 5-2-3 shape (4vs3 in the first line, 3vs2 in the second line).

Ruben Amorim is building on the same principles this Manchester United squad is used to but with more structured approach.
Same Up, back and through pattern we consistently saw under ETH but with more players committed to build-up and with clear positional discipline.

Liverpool vs City: Arne Slot’s Tactical Masterclass on Both Sides of the Ball - Breaking The Lines
Following what was arguably their best performance of the season, Liverpool now find themselves in a commanding position: nine points clear of second-place Arsenal and eleven ahead of Manchester City....

Liverpool reduced Manchester City to 10 men without a red card?
To protect central areas with Grav and Macca dragged wide, Arne Slot nullified Rico Lewis with Robertson tightly marking him.
Gakpo who also covered Lewis took the responsibility to track Walker’s runs in the left space.

I was trying to decide whether Manchester United should bring Alvaro Carreras back.
Based on the few minutes I watched and some of the player's stats, there's no doubt that he's a very technical player on the ball and also good enough defensively (very positionally disciplined).
