Newcastle 2-0 Man Utd
I've been annoying Man Utd fans for a while with my criticism of Ten Hags tactics. I knew it would be a matter of time before other managers figure him out, and Klopp just layed out the blueprint to beat Man Utd a couple of weeks ago. Very simplistic play on the error of the opponent, forcing it with high pressure. Deserves credit for implementing it and making it work so fast, but it's a bit out of use and not clearly not enough for the next step. The space that is created behind the high pressuring lines makes it impossible for 90 minutes. Why we often see managers taking out the creative player for another defensive midfielder. That works well when you are infront in goals. And even so you are putting the game into the hands of the other team.
Today could had been much worst, it was a festival of missed chances by Newcastle.. You need better players, or the right players for it too, midfielders that actually want to run, a keeper that can play the high line. This team felt the abssence of Casemiro way too much.
And did Ten Hag really dropped Cristiano Ronaldo for Weghorst?? You knew I had to make it about the CR7 lmao
And Bruno Penandes he is as useless as ever. His right leg asks permission to his left leg in order for him to run. He ran and he ran but he couldn't get close to anyone. Spoiled kid keeps arguing all game, takes a bunch of shots doesn't score any goal, just and envious little rat lmao. A bad game after another but he wants to be the center of attention.
