    my main issues with the game came from our intent in posession. Largely playing very vertical football, didnt really aim to play through the lines, just punted it long, hoped a runner would get on to it and make it work. Tried circulating wide at times, but players didnt seem to be making those 3rd man runs to recieve the ball when rosenberg triggered their press. Concerning signs, especially since a lot of it mirrors wt we saw last year, but we'll have to see how it develops.

    What we learnt - it's our 1st preseason game, against a team in the middle of their season, with most of the team having u18 players not used to playing under ten hag. That's it, that's what we've learnt. Ppl on social media (not this page) get carried away too much.

    Rosenberg's front 3 were very narrow and were blocking all the passing lanes in the centre. Which meant we were forced wide many times. And from there we just couldn't build anything worthwhile. Also, not once did we manage to thread the ball between those front 3. Quite easily they stopped us from building our game. Our wide play is just poor.

    Good breakdown AJ. Just from the 1st half, I also thought the shape was interesting as you describe but the players were utterly inept in moving the ball efficiently or quickly enough, understandable being a pre-season game.

    Will be interesting to see if there has been improvements come the final pre season game against Liverpool. I think the worry is they still conceded something like 20+ shots.

    Didn't even watch the game cause it's the first of preseason against a team in the middle of their season it was purely a run out
  • @10Tag7
    Didn't get a chance to watch the game so this was brilliant. Thanks AJ Yes from me on Collyer vid please.
  • @onyedikachihycenth5085
    Aj i would want a video for our Midfielders performance against Rosenberg, mount, casemiro, Hanniba, collyer
  • @AlexRaha
    Good work on this one. Excellent analysis on what United were trying to achieve, especially given how poor United were on the ball. It was promising to see there were some structural remedies to the spaces in midfield seen last season. Kudos to Vitek.
  • @spencerchapmanbarra7888
    This first game is only important to show the hunger of fringe players. Did Mount and Mejbri show enough?
  • @melvinkeeboonping
    Collyer has a very weird gait to his run. Would love a video on the game breakdown
