Newcastle, who played away from relegation, only managed to win a draw and almost lost. Playing Wolves at home to the mid-premier league level, a complete defeat. Lonnick did not show where he was better than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
In the current Premier League table, Manchester United ranks seventh with 31 points in 19 games, four points behind Arsenal, who have 35 points in 35 games in fourth place, and two points less than Sixth Tottenham Hotspur. Obviously, if no changes are made, Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur will compete for four, and Lonnick will not be able to compete with Arteta and Conte.
How can it be changed? There are three representative views.
England star Keion believes that Lonnick's 4222 formation, let C Ronaldo and Cavani play double forward is not enough, should let C Ronaldo play in the center, arrange a three-striker formation, "On both sides of C Ronaldo and Cavani, Lonnick uses two young and exciting wingers, but whether with or without the ball, they have not been able to play enough. Sancho needs to get space to sprint, and so does Greenwood. I prefer the three-striker tactic, while Cristiano Ronaldo can be used as a center forward. Against Wolves, Cristiano Ronaldo had a good running position, but was ignored by the team's midfield, although the Portuguese have scored more than 800 goals in his career. No matter what formation is adopted, players have to improve their decisions on the pitch, as does Lonnick as United need to break into the top four. ”
Let C Ronaldo play as a center, Solskjaer has arranged this before, but the formation is not a three-forward formation, but 4231, C Ronaldo plays the center, B fei plays the front, and then arranges two full-backs to support Ronaldo.
In the view of former Premier League player and current commentator Abon Rajo, for the current Manchester United, C Ronaldo is superfluous, "C Ronaldo looks like he only takes one yard of speed every time he plays. He and Cavani are not compatible in every game because you need one of them to retreat into midfield to get the ball. This caused B fee to lose his place in midfield. Before C Ronaldo came, B fee was the core of the team, and after C Ronaldo came, he replaced B fee as the core. Against Wolves C Ronaldo was captain, and before he came, if Maguire was not present, B Fei was the captain. In this game, B Fee sat on the bench. This will lead to a very tense atmosphere, and looking at the situation so far, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will understand that he made a mistake in bringing in C Ronaldo, it is as simple as that. Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo was indeed scoring, but the goals he scored could have been scored by Greenwood and Rashford. In my opinion, if it were me I would have C Ronaldo left in the summer and then had Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford in the frontcourt. ”
At the beginning of the season, if it were not for C Ronaldo's contact with Manchester City when he decided to leave Juve, Manchester United would not have brought in Cristiano Ronaldo. When selling Lukaku to Inter, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had no intention of bringing in a centre-forward, Greenwood was up to it, and there was a "super-substitute" Edinson Cavani, who was not short of people in the centre-forward position. As for the wingers, United have spent a lot of money on Sancho and naturally have high hopes.
Another England star, Paul Merson, believes that Manchester United's top priority is to put in a new manager as soon as possible, so that the "consultant" Lonnick has a half season is too sloppy, "As one of the most well-known teams in the world, Manchester United has enough money to hire a new manager, after they spent seventy or eighty million pounds to bring in wingers, and they can provide a 36-year-old player with a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds, with such financial resources, why not hire a new manager?" Gbagbo Sport (High-Water-Position 1.97) In my opinion, it is difficult for the team to achieve good results without a good manager. So Manchester United, it's time to act. ”
But Zidane is reluctant to come, Conte has gone to Tottenham, now looking for the manager, who can Manchester United look for?
