@nqatpod I’m starting to think that Carrick doesn’t want to have a striker to anchor the front line (unless we’re playing against weaker opposition who are going to sit deep). Would rather have a fully dynamic front-five.

@PitchsidePub @JamesTactics Martinez wouldn’t have come as far off of Haaland if Fernandes wasn’t there!

A few years ago I took over a team that had been through a pretty difficult period and, I remember watching them early on thinking, damn, we’ve got a long way to go.

They were young, not really close to where I thought they could be yet.

Fast forward a couple of years and I’m watching a lot of those same players competing against some of the strongest players in our state and they didn’t look out of place at all. They were solving problems, competing, understanding each other, playing with confidence, and probably the bit I was happiest about, they didn’t need me constantly telling them what to do.

And I remember having this really strong feeling watching them:

You f***ing did it.

Not me.

Them.

My job was just to keep giving them what they needed at the right time. Better problems, the right level of challenge, good competition, questions when they needed questions, information when they needed information, opportunities to fail and then go again.

And over and over again, the game.

Not drills designed to make them look good. Not giving them the answer before they’d had a chance to work anything out. Just deliberately designing football experiences that asked more and more of them as they became capable of handling more.

I think that’s one of the best things about coaching. You get to watch players slowly become capable of things they probably didn’t even know they were capable of a year or two earlier.

And eventually, if you’ve done your job well, they need less and less from you.

That feeling is a huge part of why I created How To Unlock Player Potential.

Learn how to use everything the game has to offer to develop players beyond what they thought possible.

@Muppetiers Lots of bad choices with the ball but we left lots of space between our lines defensively. As good as we were going forward for large stretches of the game, our lack of defensiveness compactness meant we often struggled to get back on the ball.

@DiabolicalDuck8 @Hosang @grok Why would he inject anymore money now if he wasn’t getting additional shares? He has zero incentive to do that.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@htomufc @PhilipRosenquis It may be a let down, but we spent what we had to spend without adding to the club’s credit bill to do it. 🤷‍♂️ This is the club’s financial reality for now. If we make Champion’s League again, then this will start to change.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@StevenDonovan02 That logic only makes sense if you assume Lewis Hall is the only LB in the world who is willing to leave his club and who can improve Utd.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

Hey @Ineos! Hey @ManUtd!

We still need a LB. Or didn’t you notice?!?!

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@thePoS_007 The midfield overhaul has seen a significant increase in wages? Casemiro was on £300 +. None of the new MFers are anywhere near that. Sancho’s also no longer getting paid. He was also close to £300 too, no? How does that add up to an increase in wages let alone a significant one?

[Tom McDermott @MrTomMcDermott]

#MUFC and Burnley reportedly in talks re a deal for Amass. Loan/permanent. If that’s the case, and another LB doesn’t arrive, then serious questions must be asked. Unthinkable.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@UtdArena How can you watch games on tactical cam?

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@EBL2017 How do you explain him not getting a minute of time under Tuchel at the World Cup?

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@htomufc @deegea211 Start Zirkzee at 9 or, hell, even start Lacey on the wing. He did well in preseason. Maybe neither option is ideal but far better to put players in positions where their strengths are platformed than to do the alternative.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@Hosang Decent explanations for why deals haven’t been done sooner IMO. And it’s hard to move players on and for a decent price when they’re are on bad contracts, aren’t playing lots, and other teams know that. 🤷‍♂️

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@KieranMaguire So what is your interpretation of these charts?

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@Jon_Mackenzie So not enough benefits to a 4-2-4, in your opinion, to keep it in your defensive repertoire? (Except perhaps to break out on rare occasions)?

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@premdebrief @subzscout I understand your reasoning, but I think there’s a simpler explanation. Tchouameni and Camavinga are better, more well-rounded, players than Baleba at this point. And the club thinks they can get one of them.

@HughWoozencroft @Ankaman616 @Emanxamilius_ Cost of doing business with other mid table Premier League clubs ain’t cheap. Today’s reality.

[Lbjsamphicar @LBJs_Amphicar]

@sthsthburner Who’s saying he should sit as a 6? Lots of people saying he’s best further up the pitch as more of an 8, where he can play on the front foot, be a counter pressing machine, and let someone who’s more positionally disciplined play behind him.
