Manchester United 0-2 West Ham, and was beaten twice again. Other teams are competing for five, Manchester United and Tottenham compete for 17th place

Manchester United lost 0-2 to West Ham, the seventh team in the Premier League this season, which won the 17th game this season. West Ham's league points surpassed Manchester United, and Manchester United temporarily ranked 16th in the league due to Tottenham's loss. Manchester United temporarily lags behind Tottenham Hotspur in the 17th place in the league.

Manchester United is an old problem in this game. When there are players standing and playing football in the frontcourt, your offense will not be able to enter the penalty area. The problem of insufficient running without the ball actually affected Manchester United throughout the season. Of course, the loss in this game is actually irrelevant. Anyway, Manchester United's league rankings fell by one, so Manchester United only received 3 million less league ranking bonuses.

First list: Problems brought by half rotation

After eliminating Bilbao, Amorin said that this game will be rotated to a certain extent, and the next league is to protect the players from injury, so the tone of this game playing West Ham was set: training + striving for victory. However, this set of starters did not play the expected content.

Amorin arranged the trident of Hoylen + Mount + Menu. Unlike what he expected, Menu appeared on the right and partnered with Diallo on the right attack. Mount matched with Armas on the left, Lukesha, Yoro and Mazravie were equipped with three central defenders, and Ugath + B Fee was partnered with two midfielders. In the unexpected configuration, Mount and Armas' rhythm could not be matched, and Menu and Diallo's running position could not be matched, which made both sides very uncomfortable.

Manchester United's offense: You can't even break into the penalty area

Manchester United's offense problem was fully performed in the first half. When talking about offense, you must first talk about shooting first, and then how to create shooting opportunities. In the first half, he shot 5 times and once in a straight shot. This time he came from Diallo's inward cut, and the other shots were from long shots outside the penalty area, and Manchester United couldn't hit the penalty area at all.

This point can be verified by data. In Manchester United's 65 frontcourt passes, they basically focus on two wings. The only thing that can be effective is that the cross from the inverted triangle of the wing is to shoot long shots outside the penalty area. Manchester United basically cannot complete a decent cross. Why?

The answer lies in the position. We have said before that the structure of 343 focuses more on the diamond-shaped position offensive system formed by the wing. In this game, Manchester United assisted the attack on the right, that is, the diamond-shaped position of Mazravitto, Ugat + Diallo on the wings, and Menu in the interior. So once Diallo enters the outside to get the ball, how can Menu in the interior and Mazravit behind him provide help?

Remember the game playing in Bilbao, how did Yoro assist Mount to score 1 goal? The left-back took a full-back away from the wing, Yoro dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and Mount responded to the axle in the penalty area. So, did this game do it? No, the picture below is very obvious. When Diallo was getting the ball on the side, he was waiting for Diallo to solve the opponent 1V1 to cross.

That is, no one is running around Diallo, which makes Diallo dribble the more he piles up his opponents and the denser the penalty area, and you can't pass the ball. This situation is not once or twice, but countless times.

The following attack should be very obvious. Diallo can get the ball at an open position on the wing, but his teammates' support is really not enough, which leads to Diallo compressing the opponent's formation very densely. You can't penetrate it at all. The only way is to shoot in the inverted triangle. This is already a three-minute shot at the beginning. This shot basically sets the tone for the game.

Look at this situation again. Does Manchester United like to let their teammates fight alone? Or does Manchester United believe that teammates can lead to a sudden breakthrough and solve the game alone? You have completed the transfer of strength and weakness, and your opponent's defense has also been mobilized. Why is the overall running slow?

West Ham players are fighting back to defense, while Manchester United's support is slow. Look at Inter Milan, who also plays as a three-center-back, how they pass the ball to the penalty area after getting the ball from the wing, and how their teammates run.

Manchester United's goal output: a way to transition to the offensive three zones

Manchester United's goal output in the backcourt was not very stressed in this game. B Fee dragged back and Mount also retreated to respond. Manchester United actually left behind in the frontcourt. Manchester United actually plays Ugath + B Fee + Mount. So, we saw Mount sending Hoylen a long pass, allowing Hoylen to directly hit behind him.

B Fei also sent a similar pass. In the four opportunities in the first half, Mount and B Fei completed the strong and weak side transfers one by one. They are both players with a broad vision and a large range of long passes. The question is, what about besides these contents? Look at the main positions of Manchester United's failure in passing. It is obvious that one is Maynu's position and the other is Mazravi's area in front of Mazravi. In other words, these positions belong to the top and end of the diamond quadrilateral on the right. Mazravi and Maynu do not support the offensive end, and their teammates do not perform enough in taking the ball and controlling the ball.

Manchester United's defense: The problem lies in itself

West Ham's offensive threat is actually not great. They only have the same set of crosses from the wing to the back. The question is, can you stop it? You first look at Manchester United's first goal conceded. Manchester United obviously belongs to man-to-man in the penalty area and to regional joint defense outside the penalty area. First, Menu and Diallo came back, but did not stop the opponent's winger from passing the ball to Wanbisaka from behind..

Then, after Wanbisaka got the ball, no one pressed Wanbisaka, allowing Wanbisaka to take the ball calmly. Then, Ugat + Mazlawi doubled the opponent, but did not pay attention to the opponent's running forward. In the end, Yoro was taken away, and only the young player Armas was left to fight against the people.

West Ham formed two people in the front of the penalty area to grab the ball. Kudus passed the ball very easily, and it was also very easy to grab the ball. Whose problem is this? There are problems in the entire back line, and the side cannot withstand it and the middle line cannot follow. Before Kudus received the ball, Diallo went to press. Look at what Menu, who was supposed to be in the inside, was doing?

You can take a look at West Ham's second goal, crossing the same position and scoring in the same position, Manchester United concedes the ball so easily. Wanbisaka got an assist when playing against his old club. Many players have already made attacks or assists against Manchester United when they left Manchester United.

Game summary: Attitude determines everything

If Manchester United played very nervously in the first half of Bilbao in the last game, then when they returned to the league, Manchester United played too relaxed. Amorin replaced Mount, Lukesha, Ugath, Mount and Diallo in the second half. He basically wanted to win the game and the players were in good shape. He wanted to try to score goals and equalize the score in the second half, but Manchester United was not very enthusiastic at this time.

After this game, Manchester United ranked 16th in the league and Tottenham ranked 17th in the league. Tottenham Hotspur was one step ahead of Manchester United in the competition for the worst ranking of non-relegation teams. There are many things worth complaining about in this game, but the most worth complaining about is Manchester United sophomore Maynu. This young player was amazing when he debuted, but his occasional lazy running was really fatal. The position of the front midfielder requires a lot of running without the ball. It is very important to help teammates take away defense, reduce teammates one-on-one pressure, or run to an open position to catch the ball, and increase teammates' pass and cut points, but Menu obviously plays the ball while standing.
