Your team v Man United

4312

Alisson

Trent Phillips R.Williams Robertson

Wijnaldum Fabinho Thiago

Firmino

Salah Mane

Every time we play 433 Shaw has Mo in his pocket, and we seem to insist on Mane continually trying to beat Wan Bissaka, who is very good one v one, both also like to get forward, I think we need to try and be smart and line up 4312, but the 2 up top will play with a lot of movement and variation and there should always be one more central and one pulling wider to their more usual position and we should always leave one up even when we're having to defend

What we do know about the filthy is both full backs now get forward, Shaw more than Wan Bissaka, so Mo should probably be the one central more frequently with Mane in his more usual position, coming into the centre quickly when Mo goes wide right or inside right.

If we start like this and don't play Mo up against Shaw, Shaw will more likely go forward more, and we can look to release Mo with balls over the top down our right and him making inside out runs from centre to right when we win the ball and Shaw is forward.

Wan Bissaka is an absolutely excellent defender in one v ones, we need to exploit how poor he is when he's isolated 2v1 with another player quickly joining to make it a 3v1 as he is absolutely useless in these situations when teams try to quickly get 2 or 3 in his area and pass and move around him, we always seem to make the mistake of having Mane always trying to take him on and playing to Wan Bissaka's strengths

Ball zipped into Mane's feet and a quick lay off to the onrushing Robbo and an immediate spin and look to run in behind by Mane with the one or Gini quickly joining to be the player for Robbo to find to release Mane. Wan Bissaka is useless when you get players around him like this

Mo should always be upfield for me, looking to make those runs into the space behind Shaw or for balls over the top to get in a foot race with Maguire

The other things they aren't good at is balls played in from deep early in behind their 2 CBs when we have runners, like Robbo's ball for Mo's goal v City last season and they absolutely suck at balls played/crossed early into the box recycled from clearances or when it's played back to a player such as Trent or Robbo when the forward has run the ball to the line wide, both their CB's come too far across, need a runner from far post to centre and one from centre just inside/outside the box to between penalty spot and near post for these situations

they are piss weak and very doable and exploitable in all these situations and we have exactly the players we need to exploit them

Full backs wise for us, Robbo doing most of our attacking and looking to make those lung busting runs ahead of midfield and Trent deeper, using his incredible passing, balls over the top of midfield for Mo and Mane, switches to Mane and Robbo, win it, use it very quickly looking for Mane or Mo and very directly

Quite a lot of Bobby steaming back after either of their 2 mids, with our mid(s) they're facing engaging them, holding them up and Bobby looking to take it off their toe to our player then moving immediately to be found in behind either

So, another comfortable 3-0 no dramas win for our lads
