Sheffield Utd (A) - Verdict thread, 14/09/20

Mea culpa...and all that bollocks, but for two weeks more I can only listen to games on wolves extra.
However as I am in this position and do not question this opinions who watched the game, I cannot, and I mean cannot condone the likes of Jinky/marka et al who are writing on this thread not one but multiple posts , who only watched the last half hour of the game.
Are you serious? One opinion OK but to wine on, for many posts more, about your sure as fuck, not arguable opinions based on the last half hour, when we were two nil up away,??? ..... Please excuse me guys but ffs, get a life or a TV set for 90 minutes or a pub......to believe that those few minutes you watched said it all, is
Like the pope saying a catholic priest never fucked a child.
 
There’s a really good heat map in the athletic that shows that we had both Neto and Podence on the left, with Raul in the middle and no-one on the right, and that worked really well for us - it’s also part of the reason that more came down the right and that Donk covered that side more. Also theoretically opened up more space for Traore to attack if we could shift the ball quickly as sheff utds defence would have had to shift more to our left.

Was a really nice tactical tweak - whether we’ll do it regularly or if that was specific to sheff Utd I don’t know.

Far be it for me to defend Jinky, but he didn't

Yep, that's really interesting!

I thought I had seen that when I was watching but the front 3 seemed to be moving around a lot, so wasn't sure if they just had licence to interchange

Have to assume it was done to allow Adama room down the flank to himself - if/when we have someone more orthodox in there might be back to normal

But, who knows, maybe it is part of the 'evolution'
 
Podence is particularly good at picking up positions in pockets of space, having him and Neto close to Jimenez really helped in the first half.
 
Looking at that if you had balanced wing backs, adept and going forwards at backwards then you'd have teams guessing all game. Put me on the Corona and Telles bandwagon

Yeah, he comes central a lot. Which suits him as he's much better than anyone else we have (bar possibly Vitinha, although we haven't seen him properly yet) at playing that kind of link role.
 
I really like Podence. Very intelligent player.
 
So Podence is the player that MGW hasn't become. The link man. Makes you wonder how long ago Nuno decided that MGW needed to go out on loan/would only ever be a squad player/will be sold.
 
I'm absolutely certain that this is Nuno's phase II - very skilled, technical players who change positions a lot. We may be seeing the end of the 'big man up top' and the midfield snotter...

Aha as I said earlier I meant marka Jim and bolloxed up the typing, so apologies and it had absolutely nothing to do with cypro just typing too fast on a tablet with fat fingers.
