After losing to Wolves, United suffered the first defeat of the Lonnick era. Paul Ince, Redknapp and Sutton have criticised United's performance, and Redknapp even believes that United is a "four no's" team.
Commenting on the game, Ince noted, "Even if United win the game, you can feel that they don't have any confidence. As I've said before, you can feel the home fans starting to turn and when Greenwood came off, they were booing. ”
"4222 is not going to work, whether it's a new tactic for United or not, I can't see it. Looking at the performance against Norwich and Newcastle, we have a lot to pay attention to. ”
"Look at what Conte has done at Tottenham in such a short period of time, I don't know what they're doing here. They have no faith, they don't trust each other, they're just individuals. ”
Redknapp noted, "They played so confidently, with a lack of ideas, without a way to play, and without a system. Lonnick used the famous 4222 formation, but if you don't have the right players, then this tactic won't work. You should use the right system, he's used three centre-backs, and a 442 formation, and I think he's still trying. ”
"They're not really sure how they play, they're playing really badly against Watford, but I think Manchester United fans will at least think they're going to be good in the future. Today, there is nothing. ”
"When you look at Manchester City and those top teams, they can all go and control the midfield and Manchester United have never done that. They never pass the ball to each other or have the ability to play a beautiful game, they played too badly today. ”
Legendary goalscorer Sutton pointed out, "United have a big problem. We all know the problems with Solskjaer when he was in charge, they are trying to change the way they play, but there are still problems. ”
"Some players run, some players don't, it's a big problem for United. Look at tonight's game, and then look at Chelsea vs. Liverpool, it's really a power gap between day and night. ”
