The Tactics Show: Review of the Season Part 2

#1011 | Ed and Dharnish continue their tactical review of United’s season, covering the period from early November to Ruben Amorim’s January sacking. This period included a run of inconsistent, often drab matches saved only by United’s success from set-piece finishing. Then the turning point: 4-4 against Bournemouth, possibly United’s best attacking performance under Amorim, and a shift toward a back four. Only for Amorim, inexplicably, to return to a back three against the wishes of the club. 00:00 Part Two Overview 01:19 Set Pieces and the Autumn Run of Results 03:14 Why Was It Going Wrong? 05:14 Bournemouth 4-4: Amorim's Best Football 10:53 Back to a Back Three and the Wolves Debacle 14:20 Amorim's Sacking: Press Conference and Why He Failed 14:47 Could Amorim Have Found a Higher Ceiling? 24:17 Final Verdict and What Comes Next If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
