You can't convince me our players can fit into Ragnick's 4-2-2-2 without a preseason at least. Some players also need to be binned permanently for this to work.

4-2-2-2 is a formation that relies on forwards with precise laser-guided passing (and ball control) in the final third as the amount of space available is limited.

Leipzig under Rangnick did that. It's easier when you have ballers with appreciation of space like Emil Forsberg.

then Donny can play this way. why is he not in the team yet?
wan Bissaka is out for good reason. Fred should be out too. Varane had a poor display yesterday but he's just returning from injury. he and Lindelof have got good long passing from the back, they can be first choice partnership. Martial is also a player who can work the ball in small spaces and his short passing is better than Rashford. I would have advocated for him in this system but the lad seem really uninterested.
our strikers have good movements, we need more than one creative passer to find them consistently. until Fernandes went to the middle last night, we created almost nothing from the midfield. Ralf should got out there and buy midfielders who can work in his system, or implement a system that can work with the current players. i don't think there will be middle grounds.

Omo, epl defenders no fit dey dull or give u space like what I just watch here oh

For epl, nobody will give you space. You'll have to create your space by yourself. That's why team needs good ball passers and correct wingers that can dribble to create space.

Opponent wey dribble no go work, creative passes go come tru and vice versa

We are only top team without good ball passers and terrible wingers and the only team that gives opponent space to think on ball.

Since Fergie retired, God has never blessed us with good midfielders. Na nonsense we dey buy. The 1 wey look good no dey consistent.

TBH, Raufball is bs if he has not used it to win trophies at major clubs. There is a reason he did not get more than 6 month contracts from clubs outside Germany.

We just need to move him on to a DOF role after six months. He won’t win us trophies.
Well tbf, he's not here to win trophies. If he does win any, that's a bonus

You are correct. The Bundesliga teams have a different approach to defending as the Germans have always maintained an offensive philosophy and it's not even a football thing, It's cultural.

We need ball players and fast! If we are still fielding McFred as our first choice midfield pairing, then we are not ready to win anything.

I don't care if he wins us trophies or not. I'm interested in us playing football like a modern team for godsakes.

We need someone who can make the basics second nature to this collection of 11 individuals we currently see on the turf.

I think we are underestimating how truly rotten we are.

If Rangnick can have us looking like a team before we appoint the next manager, he'd have done his job in my opinion.

If Rangnick must stick to 4 2 2 2 the I'd rather have Pogba and Bruno behind the strikers...

VDB can replace one of McFred and swap positions with Pogba in between games...

Can four minutes video summarise his pattern of play for a man with 30 years of coaching career? In the video, he seems to like attacking with too many men high up the field. Just like vs Newcastle when we were being punished with counter attacks

I agree with this. One thing I disagree with is playing Rashford or even Greenwood in attacking midfield behind the strikers. That role should belong to 2 out of Bruno, Pogba, Sancho, VDB.

Ralf has exposed most of our so called professional Footballers as Frauds. They are nothing but overhyped Amateurs.

Ralf ain't here to win Trophies, but to stabilize the Team and gives us Identity - established style of play (new DNA).

It may take time to get his philosophy right, but definitely he deserves more times before we start knifing him.

If we are being honest, Manchester united needs to change that MF totally.
Fred, Mac even Pogba due to his inconsistency has to go.
VDB isn't the possession based MF you need so he might have to leave unless he can be used as a B2B who is more attack minded than less of a destroyer.

Matic is old and should be sold.

Look at the MF of most top teams, the ability to thread passes, to recycle possession and beat the press while also understanding the use of space is just natural to them. These current crop at Manchester united are like dogs bred to do a specific purpose and can't learn new tricks. Maybe individually in other teams they can function but together.. God forbid angry

The sooner you all realise that the season is a waste the better. We have an interim manager who is not as good as Pep,Klopp,Tuchel and Conte. Our squad of players is also not as good as we thought.
The midfield needs serious surgery. That's where I would start. And hopefully we get a good manager in the summer.

We have good players, but the squad is terrible. And we’re not sure about the interim manager.

Anyone manager wants to be successful at United first needs to prune the squad (esp in the attacking department) or at least make the midfield sturdier and better.

Because there’s no way all these lamentations will stop if the wingers don’t want to put in the work in midfield and expect to be served. The cries will also continue if the midfield isn’t revamped.

I dont agree. I think Man Utd and Chelsea have equal if not better squads than City. Its usage that differs. Pogba DvB Martial Telles Sancho in another team would be devastating

You remember when I posted Man City Chelsea and Man Utd 1st and 2nd teams. Now City has even lost Ferran and Mendy
