Yep.
7 lessons there.
To be fair i was watching the West Ham game during the week, and luckily West Ham has poor finishers, the like of Antonio even got a 1 on 1 that he messed up.
West Ham kept slicing United apart far too often.

I think another quality midfielder is needed next to Casemiro.
Bruno usually plays too far forward almost like a striker.

Anyway Ten Hag is paid the big bucks

Against West Ham, we went back to Maguire-Lindelof pairing and it was horrible to watch. The problem was partly resolved when Casemiro got on after the break, and fully resolved when Lindelof was replaced by Lisandro.

Yesterday brought into light more major concerns. The hyping of the Barcelona match up led us into a false dawn. Knowing Ten Hag, this new reality is good for United.

Lest we forget - even the great Alex Ferguson lost 1-5 and 1-6 to Man City, 0-5 to Newcastle, and 3-6 to Southampton. No one remembers those scorelines because of all the trophies he won. Only last season Man United lost 0-5 to Liverpool an everyone blamed it on Ole as if it was a once in a lifetime event.

Liverpool away is the fixture I most fear each season, because with their feral supporters, Liverpool at Anfield are like a pack of hungry sharks who smell blood. If they score first, they can overwhelm any team in the world.

I used to think that was Ole style, but it still happens a lot.

Real Madrid won the Champions League last season and won several games where the opposition had more possession. Jose Mourinho has turned letting the other team have the ball yet winning anyway; into an art form.

Why i am interested in this, Ten Hag has made his name playing quite opposite to what you describe above with his Ajax.
So i was thinking he would be very happy to replicate this at United in the long term and for now he is using what he has the way he can.
Anyway let's watch and see
