Oh great he's compared to Di Maria already..
He is. I hope we don't waste his best years fumbling about with no coherent tactical plan.He's an outstanding player
Some might argue that has already happened with years he spent at ArsenalHe is. I hope we don't waste his best years fumbling about with no coherent tactical plan.
It has nothing to do with tactics. Sanchez can be used in different tactical schemes, it's obvious, he did play in different teams etc. The key here is this. When you buy a top player, you need to either built a team around him or ensure that he fits in perfectly.I just find it amusing that you think you know tactics better than Mourinho.
Great. So why did Jose put him on the left then?Sanchez, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of player United lacked - a player that can make things happen against teams that park the bus. He has agility, quick feet and an eye for a pass. I think he is best suited centrally or on the right and play Martial on the left.
Man must have had déjà vu. He's in a black mirror episode where no matter which club he plays for, he only plays for Arsenal
I just find it amusing that you think you know tactics better than Mourinho. Few shifted players around more than Ferguson did, but that worked pretty well - did he lack tactics as well? Rooney played striker, left mid, right mid, number ten etc.
The only thing I agree with, which is very sensible, is that star-grabbing will not work long term, and it will be detrimental to the club.

The way it was done, it's obvious that Sahcnez disrupted the team. There can be no doubt about it.
That is what i am saying. That whole thing, Martial on the right etc that was an experiment. People are experimenting, when they don't have a clear vision of things, want to try something to see if it fits. That is almost literally a definition of "not having a plan".

It's kind of funny, you saying that it's amusing that i think i know tactics better than Jose, but here you are completely contradicting him on a purely tactical decision.
They'd be right! That's why it'd be especially gutting to go to another team like that. I hope we sort ourselves out.Some might argue that has already happened with years he spent at Arsenal

Right. So what you are saying basically is that you have an opinion that Sanchez should play in the center or right, that is contrary to what Jose has done. But you yourself consider your opinion to be shit compared to Jose's because he is one of the best managers in game. Am i right?No, I am not contradicting him at all.
Well today's game beg to differ really.What I am in no way implying is the nerve to think for a second that I know better than one of the most successful managers around. Mourinho is shrewd and knows tactics well.
Says who exactly? I've never seen any evidence of that.Martial has the tools to play on the right
It was not experimentation. Ferguson had a clear vision. And the way Rooney played with RVN and then in our great trio with Ronaldo and Tevez is a proof of that. Vision just takes time. But there was no ambiguity about Rooney's role early on (he was a second forward to RVN), it was a progression for there on, because RVN was getting older and left, because Ronaldo in a more of winger striker. But even then Fergie knew that Rooney's ability to work hard and his overall work ethic would compensate Ronaldo's certain lack of thereof and these things will balance each other out.It was still experimented with, yet I doubt you thought Ferguson had "no plan"
I think making your league debut away from home to Spurs in 2018 is a bit of a challenge.
To be in that dysfunctional team must have been a disheartening start. I’m not entirely convinced it was sensible to start him today.
He was poor and to be honest unbalanced the side.
martial has been incredible in that position recently, he also works better with young. Sanchez left young completely exposed.
Early days but the team was worse today because of him not better. But still obviously a very good player one bad game doesn’t make a bad signing.
I thought he looked a cut above anyone else in our side, I felt quite sorry for him.
Good post.
It was incredibly disappointing to see Martial shunted across to the right to make room for Sanchez only for Sanchez to offer less than what Martial normally provides.
Our right wing has been weak all season, if Mourinho won't play Sanchez there then we have created a problem, not solved one.
Oh and it's a new Di Maria situation.So Sanchez played one half as LW, Jose had no clue but just signed him to get one over City.
some of the comical theories are just face palm worthy.
Well Martial got back to the left in the 2nd.Good post.
