What is the tactical reason that this season has gone so horribly wrong?


Once things started going wrong… was there any feasible solution?

Hello and welcome to the TIFO Football Podcast. I'm John McKenzie and I'm joined as ever by my good pal

0:13.6

and producer Mike Zimmer and Mike how are you? I am doing good as ever. How are you John? I'm doing

0:19.1

well. I'm still enjoying the fact that in

0:21.1

recording this episode, you found out that one of the guests grew up very close to your

0:25.9

small town in America. So we spent a good chunk of time at the beginning of the recording

0:30.9

talking about that, but we managed to move on quickly. But yeah, a revelation for you, I think.

0:36.3

1:18.2

Yeah, and I think it's a really, really interesting conversation about how you analyze how a team

1:23.4

is doing one season and sort of project forward into the next season.

1:27.1

And I was someone

1:27.6

who squarely takes that blame as well because I thought Manchester United would have done better

1:31.2

than they did this season. So I think it's a really interesting conversation. And as always,

1:36.3

the best thing for us to do is to just jump straight into it. So the next thing you will hear is

1:40.1

me talking to Case and Aaron from Devils in the Detail podcast.
