3-5-2 has been our best bet against big teams since Ole was appointed coach...The problem I have with a diamond featuring Pogba, Bruno, Fred and Matic is that Pogba will never track back... In a 3 - 5 - 2, We can play AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw and Telles with Matic/McTom, Fred and Bruno/Pogba in midfield and in attack, Rashford and Martial... Of course Ole has to specifically instruct AWB to stick to his position and avoid being dragged into the box by the runs of Mane...The above is us being conservative and playing against their best team. At the moment, I'd like us to play 4-3-3 with AWB, Bailly,. Maguire and Shaw in defense and in midfield, Fred, Pogba and Bruno... In attack, Martial, Greenwood and Rashford...Yes, I'll play Greenwood through the middle as he has better movement and is a better finisher but I know Ole will rather PLAY Martial through the middle and Greenwood, out right.. |

patrickmuf: 3-5-2 is a no-no, mostly because of AWB's brainfart and it also limits our attacking options.
That midfield will not work and here's why: Fred alone cannot be tasked with building up play and also marking. We will be conceding numerous chances to counters because of his penchant for jumping into tackles (and getting dribbled) high up the pitch instead of slowing down attacks. He always needs another midfielder to be behind him in those occasions, and it's not Pogba. Pogba is getting fitter and stronger but he's not a DM. A midfield duo of Fred and Pogba is not ideal- it doesn't matter if Bruno is part of the midfield trio: he's more suitable as an AM and plays CM rarely. And why start the trio of misfiring attackers (who won't cover well for the full backs) and back them with that porous midfield? The 4-3-3 you listed is a good formation but not with the personnel you suggested. Remove Pogba for McTom and we'll be more covered in midfield but our attack will be quite limited. I think that 4-2-2-2 I suggested earlier is more balanced. McFred- Pogba, Bruno- Rashford and another attacker (will prefer Cavani or Martial). Greenwood can be a sub. Note that the 4-2-2-2 formation has 4 players in midfield BUT it is not a diamond (4-1-2-1-2) formation. McFred can provide cover for the back 4 and fullbacks while Pogba and Bruno create goals chances but also defend (centrally ) where needed. The forwards have to be fast and direct. |

patrickmuf:There was nothing wrong, all things considered, but you guys didn't consider a lot of things. We were the best premier League team before the season ended, then suddenly the players couldn't run. I thought it was very obvious that they lacked fitness and sharpness. I'm happy they're getting back to full fitness, Martial and Greenwood doesn't seem so sharp to me yet sha 2 Likes |

melodyogonna: Agreed. OleOut was reigning then and if you offer a different POV you would be shouted down. I think Martial’s problem is mental though. And Greenwood’s too. Greenwood just needs to calm down and play with his teammates. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Karleb(m): 10:21am On Jan 14, 2021 |
I think #OleOUT and #OleIn (we) should sheath their swords for a moment. Ole is on top of the table. Pochettino now has a trophy and doing well in France. Even though #OleOUT fans been no try that time but let's enjoy this moment. |

De gea AWB Baily Maguire Shaw Matic Pogba James Bruno Rashford Martial POGBA and MATIC ARE PERFORMING, Mcfred should sit for now. Playing mcfred will make us limited in attack as those two can't even hold the ball and look for the right pass, that will suit Liverpool well as they would only care about the main threats, rashford and martial /cavani, that is if the 4222 formation is applied. Mcfred only makes us more conservative and limited in attack,They WOULD NEVER DOMINATE AN INFORM TOP TEAM MIDFIELD. James can take care of robbo Rashford for TAA Liverpool are there for the taking, we should ATTACK. We are now title contenders, we should be bold in big games We are MANCHESTER UNITED. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by BARAJ92(m): 11:08am On Jan 14, 2021 |
Leyqute:I understand the complaint of Mcfred limitation in terms of attacking play but this team score more goals with Fred and Mctominay in the team. The simple pass they give contributes a lot to most of our goals. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 11:20am On Jan 14, 2021 |
BARAJ92: Not holding brief for Matic/Pogba but we score more goals with McFred primarily because we use them against teams that come out to attack us thereby leaving space behind. Correlation does not imply causation. Pogba/Matic on the other hand are used against teams that sit back and park the bus across their box limiting space and making life difficult for our attackers. If you use McFred consistently against teams that sit back you will understand how limited their passing is compared to Matic/Pogba. This game will be won and lost on the flanks anyway. It is all about Mane, Salah, TAA, Robertson vs AWB, Shaw, Rashford, and Mr X (our other wide forward). 3 Likes |

LMDyaya:Really, what has been our results against supposed good team with Matic and Pogba. I shall prefer will play without a central forward, Mcfred at the base to give support to the defence. Pogba at the midfield, Bruno as Attack mid fielder, Rashford and Martial as inside forward since but of them don't even play as a central forward in out match |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by BARAJ92(m): 11:48am On Jan 14, 2021 |
afrodoc2:No doubt about their limited passing skill, the turning point of our season was when the coach turn his faith to Mcfred. Any formation the coaches chooses, he must not start Matic. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 11:48am On Jan 14, 2021 |
afrodoc2: 4-2-2-2. DDG, AWB, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw, - Matic, Fred- Pogba, Bruno- Martial, Rashford. Matic to sit permanently at the base to orchestrate play. Fred in CM to mark, he will have to really work hard, Pogba and Bruno to occasionally drop deep to help him out. While Rashford and Martial have a run at their defence. Bruno and Pogba too., but we have to be very clinical. |

Oasis007: Wan bissaka doesnt fit into the 3/5/2 system , he's NOT an attacking RB, you use 3-5-2 when you have players who are comfortable on the ball going forward and Bissaka is not one of them.. Playing Wan Bissaka as RWB against Leipzig was one of the worst managerial decisions I've seen. He simply couldn't restrict angelino further up the pitch, gave him all the room to make a run every time a pass is on. In a 3-5-2/5-3-2, you play AWB as the RCB not RWB.. |

LMDyaya: We are Manchester United yen yen yen but you haven’t amassed more than 70 points in the last 4 seasons or so. Abeg make we hear word. This is not Brighton or Fulham. This is Liverpool. We don’t need to go gung-ho on them. We only need to take points off them. McFred bring agility and athleticism to the team- something Matic and Pogba can’t do. We limit their attack and then we can take points off them and heck, a win is possible too. Summary: We don’t need to win pretty against Liverpool, all we need is a win. SMH. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 12:36pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
BARAJ92: Agreed. They cannot create from deep like Matic but they offer better protection. Pogba can drop deep from time to time to help in this regard- and that’s if we are not defending. Bruno can do this too. We don’t need 10 attacking players on the pitch to cause damage vs Liverpool. The way they’ll play makes them easy to attack. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 12:42pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
CapitalCee: Hmm. This is more balanced (Matic for McTom) but we don’t need to orchestrate play from the back. Salah Mane and others will be closing down Fridge and AWB in no time. Maybe start Cavani and/or Pogba- players who can knock down goal kicks. Try to play out for the first few minutes and if it doesn’t work, rely on Pogba/Cavani to knock down GKs and then chase second balls. Then quickly attack them and try to shoot anyhow. A goal in the first half will help us tremendously. An empty Anfield will be of help too. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 1:12pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
CapitalCee: That’s not a bad lineup. The only question is which 2 out of McTom, Fred, Matic will start. I suspect Amaka will go with that 4-2-2 mainly because of Pogba’s form. He will want to play both Pogba and Bruno but will field 2 CDMs behind them as insurance. I am suspecting it will be McFred even though i appreciate Matic’s superiority on the ball. Whatever line up he uses he must ensue that the tactic matches the lineup. For example you can’t play Maguire, Matic, Pogba, Lindelof together and be pressing high up the pitch. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by LMDyaya(m): 1:23pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
BARAJ92: Well,Maybe swap mctom with matic. But with 4222 who will be tasked with tracking robbo and TAA? Don't tell me martial and rashford that would only make us ultra defensive. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by LMDyaya(m): 1:59pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
