I only want to say, the other gegen pressing coach also took 1.5 seasons to really see results. RR only had about 1.5 months? I guess it will take time for the synergy to build and for the style to be played like second nature.

In other news, who would you get as DM? Is it going to be the much bandied about Rice, Zakaria or Kessie? Or will RR go pluck a raw diamond from somewhere no one knows?

ya. look at pools, how long before kloop get his system going. pools fans are calling for his head before he win the UCL to silence them.

RR barely get 2 months in, with 0 recruits

@Locknload I can't think of any Midfielder destroyer name before SAF's era, the closest are Paul Ince or Roy Keane type.

Y may be right, by then fans and critics monger won't accept that long , see what happen to Ole & Moyes, good and hardworking managers. Unlike Jose and VGaal who will not take nonsense and will swipe critics off, they are veteran managers who know how the games work in Champion League. EPL is only Poly v Uni standard kind of football to them.

For RR to succeed in other ex clubs of his, he is trying hard to establish himself asa mentor of this state of pressing football, I would say not many kinda of footballers we have had in current team, some are star-gazers shooting for glory, while others are injuries prone ponies, I think Zebra can back kick an assault better and sent the other party to the dentist chair, Im not saying RR's method won't work, it can be done unless we have a discipline master Captain who can shout and roar to motivate the team. Now we don't have one who can bark order on and off the field.

RR  wont have time to work his magic. I think next season change manager liao,  dun forgot he is mean to be interim only.

High press is not only about more running, there is a system to it. every 10 man must be running together at the same time. 

striker press defender and kp. mid press mid, def press attacker, and kp get ready to rush out due to high line.

if 2 attacker and 4 mid press, but defender dun dare to press, then the effort of 6 players will be waste.

I play high line and press opposite team on weekend soccer before. 10 mins only my team say tolong😆

Yes, this system takes its toll on the players as Klopp drilled his team and many suffered muscle cramps less than a week into training!

These two are the intelligent type as compared to Fellaini with his tackles and flying elbows to match his moppy hairdo 🙂

ManU 2 (Bruno x2) - Aston Villa 2 (EPL - Away)

A change in formation using the 4-2-3-1 with Cavani as striker flanked by Elanga, Bruno and Greenwood in support with Telles and Lindelof for Shaw and Maguire. An early goal gave us the lead in the 5th minute when Aston Villa's goalie Martinez let the ball through his legs from Bruno's free kick and it was the main event in the first half.

The 2nd half saw AVL on the front foot but a wonderful goal by Bruno off a pass from Fred gave us a 2-0 lead in the 66th minute but once the subs by Steven Gerard were made, they scored 2 goals with Coutinho making a debutant goal. Defensively it was again a disaster, with Varane who allowed the 2nd goal when he failed to clear the ball in front of DDG. An excellent comeback from Aston Villa and even with Lingaard and VDB coming on for Bruno and Greenwood late, there are doubts on Rangnick's ability to turn the sorry state of affairs in MU positively, and no surprise that some fans are asking for Ole's return.

ManU 1 (Rashford) - West Ham 0 (EPL - Home)

Employing a 4-2-3-1 formation, it was Ronaldo flanked by Elanga, Bruno and Greenwood with the McFred combi in midfield, The two chances missed by Greenwood and Ronaldo were ably provided by Bruno who was all over the pitch and good to see them going for the gegen-pressing favoured by Rangnick but goaless at half time.

Subs during the 2nd half by Cavani, Rashford and Martial provided some impetus and it was Rashford who scored the last-gasp winner in the 93rd minute to put MU (and Rangnick's KPI) in the top-four, above David Moyes's West Ham by a solitary point. GGMU!

ManU 1 (Sancho) - Southampton 1(EPL - Home)

An energetic start with sleek passing free-flowing football that had Sancho trying for goal in the 9th minute but instead of passing to either Ronaldo or Rashford, he was selfish to go on his own but scored in the 21st minute off a pass from Rashford after Bruno's long ball. The attempt from Ronaldo after rounding their goalie was cleared and more will be expected of him hopefully in the 2nd half, with Pogba on song.

Just two minutes into the 2nd half, Southampton equalized through a defensive lapse with Maguire not able to clear the danger and even with Elanga and Lingard coming on for Mctominay and Rashford, it was another two points woefully lost against teams in the lower half of the table that could have cemented a top-four position. The defensive quality has been a letdown for ManU and even with Varane, it will not amount to clean sheets and wins with Maguire around.

Not just defence problem, the quality of the ball into the final third was lacking. CR7 was caught and dispossessed a couple of times, seems like his days are indeed over...

Maguire is slow in turning and likes to venture forward.

Yes. He cannot handle fast and tricky  attackers. .

But he is undroppable. Like lukaku for chelsea. Or jack for man c

Will Manu in top 7th position ?

Pay $80 million pound to seat on bench, if I am the owner, cannot also. Must make him run for that amount of money paid.

Cr 7 and cavani cannot liao. man u need plan long term, keep spending on cr 7 type of player for a fast fix is wastefulness. If other clubs already going into red.( but heng man u got crazy high income )

drop these 2. put players like elanga up there better. Cr7 is fighting more for personal glory then for team. Even pogba can let him go( he after a big career ending contract only, his hair style is more important then result) . look at how van de beek is playing now.....

Agree, he's not covering his position leaving other teams to exploit and Maguire cannot help as he is too slow and easily turned. Shaw wants to prove to Rangnick his worth but leaves his position zhao geng for easy entry and Telles will be a better replacement.

If compared to Lukaku or Ibra, both are still scoring goals for their teams while CR is losing his touch and a disruption to the other fowards who were scoring regularly (Rashford / Greenwood) and not up to Messi's standard. Pogba reminds me of Balotelli who are both show-boaters, more into hairdos rather than inputs on the field.
