A New Chapter at Old Trafford:
What RA is talking about here is the fact the players made far too many mistakes in their execution and decision making. These issues have occured all season. 
One of many challenges with using wingers as a WB. Antony doesn`t follow his man and Bodø are dangerous. Great defending by Malacia where he comes on the right side of the defender. Good positioning > Good clearance
Shea Lacey:
Ruben Amorim is set to become the new head coach at Manchester United.
(!) Now that the international break is over, this thread will go in detail on the game against Liverpool weighing positives & negatives to try and strike a neutral balance & see what we can change going forward.
Ugarte has recently joined from PSG for a fee of £42m+8m add ons. I do believe that the fee is a little too much considering the price PSG paid last summer
Player Profile:
(!) Majority of this game will focus on the first 70 minute's before the changes. 
Vs Chelsea, City pressed in a narrow 433, almost a front four diamond press. Both wingers narrow going man to man with Haaland covering the CCB+making an angled run to force the GK into passing. The midfield is more zonal, meaning that Chelsea do have passing options centrally, essentially being forced to play into central areas
(!) This thread will focus on both sides of the performance, a night where we looked relatively good but *some* similar old issues showing up.
(!) This thread will focus on the first 60 minutes where most of the strongest available player's lined up.
Well firstly, it goes back to what Dave Brailsford is always preaching; “marginal gains” – making small improvements regularly.
Let’s start with the out of possession system, I wrote a thread no too long ago about RVN’s defensive shape at PSV and well that is what we saw against Arsenal. But there was a huge change... Instead of it being a Mid-Block with a high defensive line, it was actually a higher line of engagement as well as the high defensive line.
(!) Majority of this thread will focus on the first half, with the second half being more of an opportunity for youth to get some minutes.
As we all know Van Nistelrooy is joining the united coaching staff but before this he was the manager of PSV. Him and Ten Hag do share the same principles in possession, with the staggered build up play 
Coventry have switched between a back five and four this season, the past month or so has been a back four, even in the last round against Wolves. 
When attacking, United need to consciously overload the far side; this is a reoccurring point to exploit because they maintain the value of always holding a high line, in any defensive situation.
Brighton won their opening two fixtures 4-1, at home to Luton & away to Wolves. The personell in both games was fairly similar but there were slight tactical alterations in each game most notably in build up with Milner inverting/Gross advancing vs Luton & the opposite vs Wolves
