Losing the Manchester derby 1-4? lose face! These are two Premier League teams in the same city, conceding a goal by a big score, hurting not only the hearts of the fans, but also the dignity of the club. But if you ask: Can you lose convincingly? Perhaps the answer That United can give is: have to serve. After all, their lineup is really too many.
C Ronaldo and Cavani were injured, Lonnick put on a 4-2-3-1 formation, B Fei suddenly, Sancho and Elanga played two full-backs, Pogba was in the center, taking the initiative to show weakness in an attempt to play an efficient and fast defensive counterattack.
When the attack is turned from defense, the receding B Fee will participate in the process of turning the attack with Pogba to play the ball, and then Sancho and Elanga will quickly step forward, using speed and dribbling to complete the attack, but what is the final result?
United simply didn't get a few effective counter-attack opportunities, and when it came to counter-attacking, it was missing the top scorer who could make a deal in front of goal.
We have to admit that this formation is already the strongest formation that this crippled Manchester United can put forward today, but it is also true that the players in each position are too inferior, one-on-one can not break the Manchester City defense, and the team side is also inferior due to lack of personal ability.
Who in the whole squad can really compare their personal abilities with Manchester City? It's Pogba. Can hold the ball, can accurately play the ball, but also complete the task of advancing, dribbling and other tasks, other players are not reliable at all.
When he first joined a few years ago, right-back Wan Bissaka had a title of "king of shovels", boasting that the players had excellent defensive ability, but never thought: Aren't defenders using such a risky defensive method as tackling when the defense is out of position? In this game, Manchester City's frontcourt stared at Wan Bisaka to break through, completely turning Manchester United's right side into a sieve, how many times did Wan Bisaka defend? How many more times have you shoveled it?
Apart from Pogba, there is no player in the Manchester United squad who can stand alone, and even Pogba will have the problem of instability, so what else do you want to complain about Lonnick?
The best chef can't cook a pot of stone into abalone, and Manchester United, who has been clamoring to rebuild, has indeed signed Sancho and discovered a future star like Erlanga, but ignored the problem of insufficient mainstay and insufficient immediate combat strength in the team.
Carmavinga, who joined Real Madrid, has Modric and Kroos belt, and who will take him with Manchester United, who signed Van de Beek? Is it Pogba who is preparing to leave the team, or is it the B fee for the soft foot of the big game? So the final game is not wasted, to rent players? Replenishing enough immediate combat power is the real urgent need of Manchester United today, and the matter of scraping the lottery is still to be put on the back.
