Summary

#564. Ten Hag begins with a defeat. It was predictably awful from United for much of this game. The club has spent the summer avoiding central midfielders like they’re the plague and it showed, with Scott “Eight Completed Passes” and Fred giving ample evidence of that in the first half. Not that anybody bar the owners thinks McFred is a sustainable option. There is so much work to be done. But the game is almost secondary to the negligence the club has shown this summer. 18 players out, three in. Avram Glazer was in the stands having a good laugh at it all. That’s not Ten Hag’s fault, but he’ll pay a price for being left short of more than a few players. Ed & Dan discuss. ** No Question About That is listener supported.

0:00.0	And So, All right Daniel, how have you been? Tremendous, how are you? I'm very good. Yep. Same old problems, really, new season. Rince and repeat. Has anything
0:37.2	changed? We all felt kind of positive after Thailand and Australia, didn't we? And then it's
0:42.0	that we're back to
0:42.6	Doming loam? Yes it felt like it couldn't be any worse but I don't think we
0:48.1	were at home to Brighton the last season did we not with getting absolutely
0:52.0	humiliated for about an hour.
0:54.0	Yeah. We somehow found the way to win.
0:57.0	We did. I think that might be Brian's first winner, Old Trafford.
1:01.0	They got a draw in like 1981 or something because they nailed us in the game
1:07.8	of the Amex last season so yeah I mean what do we say about this game 10 Hogg went in with like this very different
1:15.8	system like a false nine sort of two false nine and and two wide players and it was a bit of a jumble really after all we've seen in the preseason.
1:25.2	Dickeds barely know their own names. I don't think they're ready for Galaxy Brain
1:31.9	tactics at this point.
1:34.0	Yeah, no, it was magical thinking, wasn't it, to think they could certainly fit into an
1:39.3	AI system.
1:40.3	I didn't know, yeah, I didn't know what team he was going to play. I didn't think he'd play this one. I thought that I would have, I mean I say I would have played Garnatchow on the left and put Russia through the middle. Yeah. Because I wanted a 433 with Pace Out Wide and I think both Bruno and
1:59.3	Ericsson are much better with the play in front of them. If you watch Erikson playing for Brentford, he's
2:05.3	reminiscent of late era skulls where he's spraying balls about and same with Bruno. You lose Bruno's
2:12.4	passing if he's too far forward.
2:13.8	Obviously you want him arriving into the box, but I would don't,
2:17.3	neither of the company I was saying this.
2:19.4	Neither of them is a sense of force.
