#BHAFC boss Fabian Hürzeler reveals how his side beat #AFC and reflects on previous criticism of Arteta's tactics! 👀
Hürzeler's Brighton were extremely impressive yesterday against Arsenal. Thought they were brilliant during attacking and defensive phases. Since there has been much talk about their off-ball approach, I decided to focus on their attacking tactics and principles. @Jon_Mackenzie is going to tackle the pressing tactics anyway, so do keep an eye out for that, and there is also this insightful data viz from @markrstats. The link to my article has been attached below. Do let me know what you guys think!
Michael Carrick on if #mufc were passive: "I didn't think we did [look passive]. Did you think we were passive? Football is a difficult game.
We controlled a lot of the first half and we played a lot of good football today. There is going to be spells when you don't have it go your own way.”
Matheus Cunha on starting slowly:
“It's hard to explain, I feel after the first half we always get a lot of chances and create, play well.
In the beginning of the second half they put in more energy than us and we cannot accept this. We always play better after conceding goal, and it cannot be like this.
I don't think today was about final decisions, we were a bit unlucky, I hit the post, and Bruno hit the post. We need to create more and hope the luck comes and we score. We need to improve in every single position.”
I saw Matheus Cunha having to tell Joshua Zirkzee to make a sprinted press near the 90th minute of us being 3-2 down at Old Trafford, I never want to see him in a manchester united shirt again.
Matthijs de Ligt trained individually on grass today. #MUFC say he is being managed really carefully. Carlos Baleba is on an individual recovery plan. Amad was always going to be out for a while but recovering well. Players had a day off today @UtdDistrict https://t.co/6NPplru5Lu
Bad decision and the games fucked but how about focus on the fact we couldn’t beat a 10 Man City with no Pep, never mind that we couldn’t score a goal, clubs on its arse and the manager and fans are just gonna waffle on about a bad decision instead of facing reality
I genuinely can’t stand this guy though in general. He should never ref a Man Utd game ever again. The last 20 minutes he was a complete attention seeking beg who wants to make it all about him. Bloke intercepted 3 passes today throughout the 90.
