The difference between Ole and Carrick

Ole tried to play a pattern by using technical players. The reason he quickly retired Valencia and co. But Ole appeared to know one pattern which had been studied by other teams during the Summer break. On his part, he didn't appear to have studied any of the other teams.

Carrick seems to read the opposition style of play, looking at strengths and weaknesses. Then think about how to confront the game, and which players are right for the game.

Ole freestyled with the already laid down structure by Mourinho. Gave them freedom immediately he was hired till he got the permanent job. Everything he did depends on the opponents he was to face. The more we went away from Mourinho's time and added more new players, the more the structure got worse.

Same with Lampard that came in after sarri. Same style and system. And everything went to the dogs due to the same reason.

That werey Rashford fit play that ball hit GK body sef, good thing Sancho sat Izzou the GK on the floor like a new widow

I'll be back to revisit this Sancho saga.

We also did not have a pattern under Mourinho. We also tried to bike after we had conceded. Otherwise we were parking bus from 1st minute even against league bottom teams

No one is hailing Carrick for anything, We are just surprised that even with Carrick as the manager you guys couldn't win us at your home.

Winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners.

Alex Telles was useless yesterday. Where was he when we needed defenders on our left side. Fred was playing 2 positions most of the match in our half. Mctomanay isn't near good enough to start for Manchester United. Bruno was amongst our worst player yesterday.

"He is a world-class player. His stats since he came back to the club are ok - he has got some goals and some assists. This idea that he is going to start closing people down? He's not. Sometimes you have to work around a superstar. I've played with players who don't do the bit you hope - the Cantonas of this world - but you forgive them because they score the winning goals in tight matches.

"Ronaldo has to be in the starting XI.

Well said Keano! A manager that can’t build a team around his best player is a slowpoke!
Miss me with that running around nonsense. It is what you hear from clueless oafs parading as managers.

Leyqute:


Maybe that was even what Fred wanted to do. It was just inaccurate

Not inaccurate, he has no football brains.

Oasis007:
AWB is shhit but Dalot ain't a Competition to him.

I will take Dalot at this time, at least he moves like he has an idea. AWB gives me cataract. Jeeeez!

afrodoc2:


Exactly. What is the point of chopping another 5-0 before the new manager comes in just to prove that you can coach.

The same coaching staff that chopped beating when they opened up against Liverpool and Man City don't have any magic wand to change things simply because there are now 3 of them rather than 4.

3 bad heads are not much better than 4 bad heads.

I no know the changes our guys been dey expect overnight, when we still get the same coaching crew

That goal pain you die, na Izzou I see for una goalkeeper shirt maka Chi

Ntor!!

Assumig we lost 5-0 now, we for dey cry.

In today's match, the draw is actually a loss to Chelsea. This was like United of 2008 drawing Chelsea in a match, it looked like a loss

It was anything but another horrendous score line for me, any other thing na jara because we haven't been anywhere near our best

Izzou chopping LLL from right, left and center

Another LL loading this night.

Make una calm down, there was no indication CR7 would be any effective yesterday, if anything he'd be frustrated. We were playing rubbish and second best at every thing.

Darren Fletcher was pictured on-call throughout the game, I guess the formation/tactics was done by Ralf.

The rest are likewise clueless but not this clueless. How can you say Chelsea park the bus?

Nothing special but we are top of the league, lmao!

Omo let this January transfer not pass without us getting at least 1 DM and a press-resistant midfielder oh

This matter should be elevated to National security threat level 1


We need midfielders who're good on the ball to control the tempo and orchestrate Wahala from deep.

When we get those midfielders, we can go and keep McFred in the museum for all I care.

Ole is a legend; his invention needs more exposure


Chelsea fans keep crying; what we love to see

Congratulations on the you "you guys couldn't beat us at home" trophy. Well deserved after the "we finished above Chelsea" trophy.

See the supposed biggest club in Europe getting high that a rival couldn't beat them after an horrendous performance

nitrogen:


Lol, Elampiro said Rangnick gave him the selection and formation.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Ralf Rangnick dropped Cristiano Ronaldo for the team's clash against Chelsea.

"A lot of people have a go at Michael Carrick for dropping Ronaldo and picking that midfield," tweeted the ex-defender.

"I've [got] a feeling the incoming manager has picked that team as it's a huge departure from midweek and what they've been doing."

Are you pained you have more shots off-targets than on target? Early monday morning? E be like person just dey vex throughout the night

Bizarre nonsense by sky sports.

Yes, you park the bus. You go figure

You really think the 3 at the back formation is a new invention huh?

Lemme tell you: the overall concept of playing 3 at the back is to distract the opponent by crowding and dominating the midfield, while the full backs are left unchecked.

Playing 3 at the back means when you lose possession, it collapses into 5-3-2 while you create overloads at the flanks with 2 of your midfielders tracking the runs of the opposition wingers.

That means 5 defenders and 2 midfielders, which gives you a total of 7

The bold is what you do in high profile games.

How did you come about those 15 corners or so?

At some point after our goal, it became a cross and nod game mostly from Reece james.

Playing 3 at the back requires a lot from the wingbacks because it is energy-sapping.

Chelsea is a defensive team that goes all out attack and all back defense, capische?

In case you don't get what I said, think about the Diego Someone's Atletico Madrid side that removed Chelsea from UCL semis during Mourinho's second spell.

I don’t really care if he is dropped. My anger is with the people coming at him for not ‘running around’ enough. He will never do that because it has never been his style of football and he is 36.
So the sensible thing to do is build your team around him to maximize his strengths.
If it’s by running around, Daniel James would have still been here.
