I think you can clearly see a team that lacks psychological strength, some cues are:
- can the team protect leads?
- how does the team react to setbacks?
- how does the team react in chaos?

This can be in the form of getting to the ball first, understanding where the space is first, or simply making that on ball decision before the opponent has time to react.

Already read today that he should give up the 3-4-3 and switch to a 4-2-3-1 on paper.
Don’t think a lot of Utd’s fanbase has the patience to wait for big changes that will take lots of time, tbh.

Tempo setting isn’t there, players unable to receive on the turn in central areas and hold possession under pressure.
Forward players without the necessary duel power to give United an outlet (vs what Gyökeres usually does).

I’m hoping it will be engaging and informative for everyone. It’s not possible to include every single detail, but I’ve tried to find the best balance I can between the areas I’ve talked about.
Tomorrow night.

Possibly my 2nd favourite place in the UK (after Old Trafford of course).

With Amorim generally using at least one winger at wing-back, he can push that wing-back higher to the front line and have the other wing-back used as a situational full-back.

Being able to communicate knowledge, is mastery.
A coach can have the best ideas in the world, but how do they break these ideas down in a more simple format so that players can enact upon them.
“You cannot go 100% on every detail, because it will be confusing.”

Looking to grow my knowledge of the beautiful game every day, and I’ve connected with some new people on BlueSky already, can’t wait to get even more insight from them.
Improve every day. Even if it’s 0.01%. It will add up on the long-run.

I particularly noticed Amorim using “we” a lot in his first interview.
“We will start”, “we will try”, “we know”, “we have”.
It makes it feel like “we” as fans, plus all the club’s staff, are on the journey with him.

I wonder whether United’s academy player Jim Thwaites will have the opportunity to leverage this quality within the first-team under Ruben Amorim.

I think we’ll see some in and out of poss patterns against Ipswich, but we can’t expect consistent execution from the players this early on.
The hard balance to strike, how much info do you give to players…

Just because it’s a 3-4-2-1 formation on paper doesn’t reflect what we’ll see during games.

The key to being a good scout or analyst is to try to recognise these patterns and understand why/how they’re formed.
