It is really important that I come here and I'm professional and I say look let's not get carried away with it but we may as well just end the season now you may as well just give us all the trophies. Give me as well. Man you know if 4-0 winners there against Liverpool that was the perfect start. I'm not really sure what could have gone differently in that game that would have made that any better really. Manchester United put out a strong team in that first half. I'm going to run through the tactical nuances we saw. Yes please. If that's step one on the ladder of what's going to happen this season I want to start running up that ladder straight away. I didn't expect that. I did not expect that level of performance from Manchester United and there was so many patterns that we saw from so many individuals and as a collective that's the beginnings of something beautiful. Manchester beginnings of something different something new something braver both on and off the ball there today. Manchester United did look like the Manchester United that I've seen for a good long time and I tell you what he is a big smile on my face and down sure it's put a smile on your face. Before the game I said this on Twitter said look these are the things I'm looking for today. A higher back line play out from the backs and passing triangles and intensity in the press and I tell you what that Manchester United team delivered in that first half. They really really did. I think we certainly saw the higher defensive line or sure if I'm looking at this from a tactical perspective I think this one here you really saw this let me go on this screen here you can see the two center backs there look how high the fullbacks are and the wing is tucking in that is what Eric Tenhard will want his team to look like. Fullbacks adopting a higher position defenders the two center backs adopting a higher position and that higher line which I spoke about in so much detail before the game. I just didn't expect it to be that good. I didn't expect you know it to be that good all over the pitch everybody was involved. Tenhard man wow those two weeks of intense preseason training sessions they clearly paid off in that game first half it was a completely young Liverpool 11 of course it was second half last 30 minutes it wasn't and I tell you one big thing which I really loved changed the whole team in that second half the quality may have dipped off apart from Ick Zananik Bal it looks very good and Charlie Savage both in midfield both playing better than the top of the day. While it dropped off a little bit the actual overall performance and the patterns did not fair play to everybody man Jaden San show getting that goal with the first goal lovely finish into the corner excellent patient build up play it's predictable if it's done correctly that's I think what excites me the most about this season there's things that you can call going into the game expecting that we might be able to see Manchester United play with a higher line we saw that playing out from the back I think today we really saw exactly why we need. Franky the young we need that player to receive the ball from our defence to start the attacks from deep. Fred won't be that guy but Tom and I certainly won't be that guy the missing piece he is the missing piece in that midfield and we know that and Eriten Hargs know that all some along today though so many positives on an individual basis that first goal there from Jaden San show wonderful finish into the corner you only got like four or five goals last season I think he's going to absolutely storm it this year but these two Fred you filthy bastard chip in Alison from 25 yards with his right foot outrageous or days just finished from the Brazilian and a look Fred and the young that's a midfield to I can probably get behind that can enjoy the fruits of that and I think Manchester United would as well but that front three Marciao Rashford and San show Rashford out of the three let's be honest he was the worst of the three if we're going to I'm not going to judge two harsh and individual performances not going to get overly full of praise for the players who play well but Rashford was out Sean today certainly by San show certainly by Marciao a player who I've slated and slated and slated but a player who today showed that he is not lazy that he can work inside a very he bloody did surprise me surprise you great pressing he won the ball back like two three four times and then finished with a plum great goal three nil in that first half and cruising but as you say you know you're playing against the second a second 11 really from Liverpool you can't really get too carried away but I'm more focusing on the patterns that I saw the build up I still think we massively lacked a real quality to bring the ball out from defense we need Frankie Dion we need that player to receive the ball from defense and bring it out I think we still struggle with that especially when Liverpool started pressing harder but it was certainly an improvement the real successes that I saw were playing with that higher line doing it well there was actually an occasion in that first half where we played we had the possession for like 90 seconds two minutes we got the whole way up to the Liverpool edge of the box couldn't get through but instead of losing our patience we played it the whole way back to the haier he then had a little dummy played it out to the right back which was below we played it through and created a chance it's that patience to Eric ten harg's trying to instill into this team and we saw it there today and I tell you one special I sound not going to get too excited about performances or who caught up in players not playing well did anic but he showed he's a bit of a baller today didn't really out what out completely outplayed Scott Matomone so got Matomone showed the limitations of his game today showed why we need strengthening in midfield but sedanic bow and Charlie Savage both in that second half and again up against that full 11 when it came on from Liverpool it play well and that fourth goal polystery Eric that was pure Eric by by the way wasn't it pure Eric by on the counter attack and for history got the finish and mad got the goal sorry am I got the assist wonderful counter attack from Manchester United just all over the pitch today I didn't expect to see that good performance if I'm looking at the the things that I think okay if I was to Eric ten harg going into the training session tomorrow when we did lose the ball out of possession when when we were when we got pressed out and we lost it and we were out of shape there was a huge gap in midfield huge gap Freddie Mac Tomane both going a bit too far forward it's why I've always thought I mean you'll know that by now that midfield enforcer that's a natural ball whether it stays a little bit deeper to protect that against the press when you lose out we kind of need that we definitely need if I'm looking at us playing out from the back with the ball I think it could have been far better today but I think that will come with time I think the natural things that can happen immediately with coaching we saw today we've got real quality up front man we've got Marcia we've got Rashford we've got Bruno Bruno today Bruno played better Bruno played smarter I liked what I saw from Bruno today don't even the beat by the way second half you have flat line from the lab I'm not sure what's going to happen with him this season certainly with Christian Ericsson coming in Donnie you got a prove yourself here buddy or you will just be put on the bench and even Eric ten harg will do that for you but yeah happy days you just gotta be happy that we just beat Liverpool I don't give a shit if it's the preseason and you can't get too excited just beat Liverpool 4-0 and after getting that humped by them twice last year I liked that and it's the start as I say the first step on that new ladder going forward and this was I thought was very interesting and that's why I said that's why I've been so focused on these preseason videos I've been doing because we know that Eric ten harg's tactics we know what he likes to do to deep to two centre backs with his full backs playing a little bit higher up the wing is tucking in to create overloads and that's what we saw it's right there in front of your eyes it's perfect but what was perfect hold on hold on it's not part that bus it's not perfect but it's quickly visible and that's the thing and it was visible in that second half as well despite ten changes happening it was still visible there was still a lot to like in that second half I've look happy days man I'm really really over the moon for that as the first Eric ten harg performance Tara Malicea making his debut I think we saw his qualities and saw the weaknesses of his game he lost the ball in some positions defensively but had the ability and the athleticism to recover that's what he's very good at but what he's got to make night prove into his game now he's making sure he's cutting out those mistakes in the first place that's what we'd like to see but Tara Malicea I'm excited to see how he develops but Eric ten harg will be going around and patting everybody on the back there there's no doubt improvements that need to happen and that's what preseason is about building game on game on game but go it into that game did you expect Manchester United to beat Liverpool 4-0 did you expect to second half where we had Iqbal and Savage in Mifield and Tellers Tellers as a left center back and to keep a clean sheet and still score a goal with a counter attack from polystery no not at all happy days I'm just delighted I'm delighted that it's got started in the best possible way let's see what happens against Melbourne let's see what happens against Crystal Palace Ashton Villa, Athleticomadrid and then building up to the Brighton game but the early signs are very very good and that's put a big smile on my face I'm sure it's put a big smile on your face it's going to be a cracking live stream in the morning maybe I'll go live later on today don't I don't have to celebrate but look make sure you drop a like on the video that was the perfect start for Eric ten harg can't start burying the bad memories I hope start to looking for the futures bright in the futures orange and red
