Man united vs Brentford (Home) 24/25. Pt 1 Breaking blocks Using possession Build-up Counter presses/OOP/regains

WOW

@TheDevilsDNA He never wanted Ugarte? this was reported by the athletic he didn't want him, wanted to keep Scott and amrabat, and wilcox pushed for the move

I had made threads about Ugarte detailing what he is & what's he's not. For me it was clear that ETH wanted Ugarte has a play-breaker for his counter-pressing approach. Visiona itself was bad so the recruitment followed suit. Doesn't work for a team that wants to play differently

@candlecav @Casey_Evans_ The witcher and fortnite definitely took up that title

@Casey_Evans_ For almost a decade, from 2004 to 2011, WoW was The Game. Then, Skyrim became The Game. Now it's been 15 years, and nothing has taken up the title since.

Skyrim is an incredibly flawed game but there’s just a real magic to it that so many have tried and failed to capture since that you can’t not consider it one of the greatest games of it era

@KEV1N1STA @RioMeets @rioferdy5 @joelbeya @MrStephenHowson in 2008 he was

@RioMeets @rioferdy5 @joelbeya @MrStephenHowson At no point in time Rooney was the 3rd best player itw lol

🗣️ Take Messi and Ronaldo out of the debate and it’s Neymar! 🗣️ No, take them out and it’s Rooney! Who was the true heir to the throne? 👑 #CRAFTD CC: @rioferdy5, @joelbeya, @MrStephenHowson

@AlphaSkyy7 Look at the squad, the same squad amorim finished 15th win eth finished 8th, an fa cup against city and 9 points off 4th I think. We were in CL too

Sometimes I ask myself what’s make Ten Hag so bad especially at the end . Because some of the football I saw bruv I was thinking is he a genius ? 😭

@FutballMaestro_ parallels.

@ftblnatt Another idea that isn't spoken about is min passes to the front line, he introduced, I think that will become a staple in the future, combined with reading, blocking and attacking space over chasing

@Vaenced There's a reason why our former analyst Tom Green who worked with a lot of managers said he learned loads from Erik tactically. Execution might've been inconsistent due to personnel but the ideas were simply brilliant and somewhat creative.

"I wasn't a player long under Erik ten Hag but of course you experience a little bit of his ideas." -Fabian Hürzeler This approach to solve build up with timely movements diagonally stepping across into the space ahead to bypass 1st line of pressure is executed uniquely by few.

@utdrobbo it was not a neccesary issue that we finished 15th

@NealGardner_ Because Spain prides itself on space and reading the game. Here there's less of an education towards the game hence the draw to physical solutions over technical. Which is a shame cus psg and barca play some great football

My take on the Premier League is pretty clear. I think it has the highest floor of any league in the world, but not the highest ceiling. Moreover, the new physical OOP-oriented ‘meta’ seems to be forcing sides down a path that just isn’t likely to be very successful in Europe. What they’ve got is a bunch of teams who are undoubtedly difficult to beat, but that simultaneously lack the capacity to be the protagonists - which historically doesn’t bode well in Europe. Quite done with all the banter because, frankly, it’s getting really silly and I don’t want to indulge. I’m mostly just curious to see how, or if, the PL evolves/compromises to become even more equipped. Or contrarily, whether the ‘culture’ prevents it.

They say you misprofiled then they say amorims squad was poor.

@BigTeezo That was ineos's window, ingoings and outgoings were much more them

@Vaenced Ten hag didn’t want him and wanted to keep a scrub like Collyer

Should never have sold him

MINI THREAD: (OOP) ‘24 FA Cup Vs ‘26 Carabao Cup Final: Bruno makes intentions clear. 424 block made life hard for City - especially when dropping into compact mid-block. When UTD engaged high, City were able to find solutions. Meanwhile, Arsenal….

eth season 1, 2 and 3.

@NealGardner_ a bit similar to rio for liverpool, in terms of shaking things up

I know Dowman is extremely young and there’s sense in protecting him, but looking at the state of Arsenal’s current attackers, I’d argue he’s already their biggest difference maker. Why wouldn’t you sub him on towards the end? Arsenal played this game trying not to lose, instead of trying to win.

@themethqueen @usutav @Liamjsm Claude alone for every 100 spent by consumers, it costs 10,000 on their end.

@usutav @Liamjsm Yes, now. What happens when the subsidies stop? And the ai labs need to make profits? Think it’s free now just cuz they’re generous or bc they’re using you as a data source?

Lotta people using Claude to build software that already exists
