Ed and Dharnish break down United's 2-0 defeat at Hull on the tactics show. Some of this was physical. Four starters had played one 90 or fewer all pre-season, and the lack of sharpness showed. But a lot of it was tactical too.
- Why was Bruno under-par and has the reaction been over the top?
- How do Tielemans and Bruno better dovetail in future?
- What were United doing with their possession game?
- How did Hull force United wide and into playing aimless crosses?
- Why are United having problems with physicality and aerial duels?
There’s a cautiously optimistic look ahead to Ipswich: trust the system, cut down the aimless crossing and give the new midfield time to settle.
