AJAX BUILD UP TACTICAL ANALYSIS
A detailed deep dive on the build up structure of Ten Hags Ajax & how we can replicate/transfer his ideas to Manchester United
Erik ten Hags Ajax team lined up in a 433. Pasveer, Mazouri, Timber, Martinez, Blind, Alvarez, Gravenberch the usual back 7
No clear FDJ Type press resistant 8 in that side, but structurally they were set up excellently to get around that gap in profile. All 7 technically superb

1/5. I’m well aware today was poor, I’m the first one to praise Erik so will be the first one to criticise him when I feel necessary. Today was a breakdown of several issues. Player quality, player performance & decision making
We lack several major positions to become a proper
2/5. Possession based side. We need a GK who can claim crosses to remove pressure. Someone who sweeps High to increase our line height. It’s vital in build up that they can help outnumber a press with their distribution. A top CF is so vital in terms of hold/link play & finishing

1/3. Is there a perfect FDJ alternative? Is there a perfect midfielder?
Personally I don’t think there is. I think the best way of recruiting is by bringing in a player who fits the mould of the DLP as close as we can get to what we need and then work on their issues via team
2/5. Patterns, shape or personel who have strengths that override the weakness that new DLP has. I’ll give an example
I really like Orkun Kokcu. Kokcu is a CM for Feyenoord who excels in progressive passing, carries, SCA. He’s a high volume passer, a tempo setter, a conductor

Jurrien Timber Tactical Analysis
A detailed deep dive on the Ajax Star & why he could be a smart option for Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United
1/5. Antony is getting criticism recently, the level of heat he is getting is unfair but he does need to do better
He needs to use his right foot more, but take people on the outside. He can do it, if he does do iut more often then cutting in on his left becomes less predictable
2/5. I think sometimes we overload the left side to isolate Antony, this works but he does need support. Dalot over/underlapping & Bruno in the half space
It gives a passing option but also someone to link with like here, another string to his bow. He is doing this in the UCL
