So, Pochettino to United. I sat down to analyse the decision, his game-model and football principles, how it see it going & why I believe (for better) he is closer to Carrick and OGS than many think. A Ferguson-disciple without being an ex-United player.

Dari video ini, jelas sekali bahwa aparatlah sebenarnya sumber kekerasan & kerusuhan di Jogja tgl 10 Nov kemarin. Tapi ratusan mahasiswa ditangkap & dituduh sebagai pelakunya. Ironinya, dimana2 mereka teriak ttg ketertiban & keamanan. Ternyata mereka sendiri yg bikin tdk aman.
I’ve analyzed 7 in-possession situations to try and understand the different ideas and concepts Mauricio Pochettino tried implementing with his USA team.
Conclusion? Saying he’s “outdated” is a rather superficial take.

Michael Carrick knows the industry but for #MUFC leaders to let him take training two days running while clearly working on his dismissal, with no real communication, is poor treatment. Carrick served United superbly as a player + worked diligently as head coach. Deserves better.
Jogja dipenuhi orang-orang kreatif yang pantang menyerah dan selalu punya cara untuk terus bersuara.
Ketika banner fisik diturunkan, mereka menghadirkan bentuk perlawanan lain melalui proyeksi banner digital di sejumlah titik.
Panjang umur perjuangan!
Just so we are all aware, Utd have just signed 2 midfielders in a 29 y/o on a 5 year deal & a 22 y/o for £50ms, both who absolutely wouldn’t be in Poch’s ideal plans.
They’ve gone from high intensity coach -> low intensity approach -> high intensity within 10 fucking months
David Ornstein says Manchester United had decided by 9am Monday that Michael Carrick would be sacked.
Yet 48 hours & two training sessions at Carrington later, he still hasn't been informed by the club - also finalising a deal for Mauricio Pochettino to replace him.
Shameful.

Super thread from Alex. This was a reservation I had about Pochettino too. His tactics are too reliant on the press, both for creating & defending. And that worked in an era when structured intense pressing was novel and caught teams by surprise.
Today, every team has good build up patterns to play through Pochettino's press when his teams defend and every team has good OOP setups to force Pochettino's teams to be creative beyond the counter press (and struggle) in attack.
Within a few years, Pochettino's lack of tactical evolution has become costly.
The last great club football season Pochettino had was 10 years ago; football has moved on in a dramatic fashion, and it’s unclear Pochettino has moved with it.
He had success in an era when high pressing (high both in starting positions and intensity) was quite novel and build up was not nearly as advanced as today, at least not for most teams, which meant pressing was mega effective and deadly.
Back then, teams weren’t sure how to deal with a high-intensity, high-risk approach that pins you down in our own 3rd.
The idea was to get forward as quickly as possible, even with large distances between your players; if you lost possession while doing so, you’d lose in the final 3rd, which means you’d counter-press to win it back, and create good chances from those situations.
An approach that uses large distances and high intensity wasn’t nearly as likely to be punished as it is today; rest defenses were much more likely to get away with structural gaps and errors.
When it worked, it worked really well.
The reason is that it wasn’t simply a reactive strategy to be used against top, ball-controlling teams, though it was very effective at creating chaos in those games. But it was also a proactive strategy against lesser teams, whose DMs and back line often had no idea how to handle such pressure, let alone play through it.
But you can’t be successful like that anymore. Almost every team presses well and has a much more advanced build up arsenal, using a combo of passes, carries, switches, overloads or rotations to manipulate the press. And most have become very good at exploiting the gaps left behind.
Which means that high pressing and gegenpressing are not as effective as they used to be, which in turns means they cannot be your primary tatical solutions nor your playing identity, as they used to be 10 years ago; they are now mere tools, out of many.
It would not be easy for Poch to do well at United. My thread from 2024 👇

Pelatih yg pertama kali debut di UCL biasanya anyep performa timnya. Sebastian Hoeneß (Stuttgart) dan Roberto De Zerbi (Marseille) sama² gak lolos fase play off.
Rispek utk Cesc Fabregas 👏🏽
Perjalanan Cesc Fabregas sejauh ini bersama Como :
2022 : Bergabung jadi salah satu pemegang saham klub.
2023 : Memutuskan pensiun sebagai pemain di Como lalu memulai karier kepelatihannya dengan ditunjuk sebagai pelatih tim U-19 dan tim B Como.
2024 : Membantu Como promosi ke Serie-A, saat itu posisinya sebagai asisten pelatih Osian Roberts.
• Diangkat sebagai pelatih kepala.
2025 : Finish di peringkat 10, bukan hasil buruk bagi tim promosi.
2026 : Finish di papan atas Serie-A (4).
• Semifinalis Coppa Italia.
• Jadi pelatih kedua sepanjang sejarah Como yang meraih 100 poin di Serie-A.
2026/27 :
• Masih di papan atas Serie-A (4).
• Lolos ke Liga Champions pertama kalinya.
• Pecahkan rekor goal away di Liga Champions.
What a journey. 👏
Tak perlu menunggu empat tahun bagi warga Amerika untuk menghukum incumbent Presiden Trump dan Partai Republik yg mengecewakan. Andai kita punya mekanisme pemilu sela, setiap pemenang pemilu harus bekerja sesuai kehendak warga, tanpa hrs menunggu lima tahun baru bekerja.
🧱🏟️ Can INEOS clear Manchester United's debt and build a New Old Trafford?
United's new $550mn loan has three clauses that matter more than most:
1. The Notes can be repaid at par from 10 June 2029, but only as part of a stadium financing.
2. The change of control clause exempts INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
3. A ring-fenced "New Stadium Group" is already written into the documents.
Put together, they point to one likely route for both the Glazer debt and New Old Trafford.
I've set out the clauses and the numbers here https://t.co/sJWPaHD2cz
Salah satu strategi yang dijalankan dalam hampir dua tahun pergerakan mahasiswa Serbia hingga akhirnya rezim Aleksandar Vučić kalah dalam pemilu 25 Oktober 2026:
CANCEL CULTURE.
Sasarannya meluas sampai ke para enabler pemerintah, termasuk media propaganda, selebritas, dan figur publik yang selama ini membantu menjaga kekuasaan Vučić.
Diantaranya:
1. Media propaganda dipermalukan di depan publik.
Mahasiswa menggelar aksi Dezinformer di depan kantor TV Informer, menggunakan pakaian dekontaminasi, memasang wall of shame berisi pemberitaan manipulatif, dan mengumpulkan petisi pencabutan izin siaran.
https://t.co/AdUQ9UdO4o
2. Selebritas yang enggan mendukung mahasiswa ikut mendapat tekanan sosial.
Mahasiswa Novi Sad mengumpulkan video dukungan puluhan figur terkenal.
Mereka bahkan melempar wacana untuk mempublikasikan nama selebritas yang mengabaikan permintaan dukungan.
https://t.co/g9OEG0Xj05
3. Konser artis pendukung rezim diprotes sampai batal.
Jelena Karleuša, penyanyi yang terang-terangan mendukung Vučić, menghadapi protes warga.
Konsernya di Loznica pada Agustus 2025 dihentikan sebelum satu jam. Konsernya di Lučani pada September 2026 juga batal setelah warga melakukan aksi protes.
https://t.co/Hhbvfg253H
4. Daftar artis pendukung Vučić disebarkan untuk diboikot.
Sehari setelah kemenangan mahasiswa pada pemilu 25 Oktober 2026, muncul daftar nama penyanyi yang pernah mendukung Vučić, disertai seruan boikot dengan slogan U slobodnoj Srbiji neće pevati, yang artinya mereka tidak akan bernyanyi di Serbia yang merdeka.
Seruan ini berasal dari masyarakat di media sosial, bukan kebijakan resmi mahasiswa.
https://t.co/52FGzptphr
Dan masih banyak lagi.
Tekanan sosial ternyata sangat efektif kepada mereka yang pendukung legitimasi dan mempertahankan pengaruh rezim, karena kekuasaan tidak bekerja sendirian.
Ada jaringan yang ikut menopangnya, dan jaringan itu juga bisa dimintai pertanggungjawaban oleh publik.
Dan hasilnya, mahasiswa Serbia berhasil mengubah gerakan protes menjadi kemenangan elektoral. 25 Oktober 2026, Vučić mengakui kekalahannya.
