at night Reuben Amorim Delivered the surprise of the season by breaking away from his beloved 3-4-3 formation, Manchester United Managed to put some of his new size on the scoreline. The 4-4 was not a tribute to Amorim’s unexpectedly switched to 4-4-2, but rather the result of an extraordinary evening of frenetic attacking, poor defending and flawed goalkeeping as both sides exchanged free kicks and return kicks.
“Crazy game,” Amorim said. “It was fun for everyone at home.” The entertainment crisis at home could prove costly for United. Ahead 1–0, 2–1 and 4–3, they missed the chance to move into fifth place and extend an elite run on their own ground. Ten-man Everton seal victory at Old Trafford, West Ham, facing the threat of relegation, played a draw And so, in ridiculous fashion, made out-of-form, goal-shy moves bournemouthWhat could have been nine points at Old Trafford are now only two,
And yet to focus on broader impacts would be to ignore the eight goals. Which came amid entertaining, confusing dramaIt was fitting that the last of them came from Bournemouth, Ally Jr, coming off the bench to buy Crupi andoni irolaA point towards. It still needs two rescues sene lamens To prevent David Brooks from converting in a 5–4 win for Bournemouth.
Nevertheless, it was the first time United had scored four goals without taking three points in a league game since a 5–5 draw in the final match with Sir Alex Ferguson’s West Bromwich Albion.
“Today was inspiring but there was also a feeling of disappointment not to win,” Amorim said. His Changing shape helped United in attack But failed defensively. It was an illogical vision to have a back four with two left-footers in the middle and a centre-back at right-back. There were personnel issues that Ayden Haven was struggling with. United squandered three leads. “We lack quality when we defend our goal,” Amorim said. “We have to stop the game.” Instead, it was ridiculously open.
“People are enjoying watching Manchester United more this season,” Amorim said. And, indeed, when playing a 4-4-2. Whereas He also scored four at WolvesThey seemed liberated, freed from the strategic hold of the Amorim. Energetic and aggressive, he had 11 shots in the first 25 minutes, a total of 25, an xG of 3.27. He promoted more players; In fact Amad DialloNot being a natural wing-back, he was given a more advanced role in a one-sided 4-4-2 and this was why he could open the scoring from a yard out.
Yet for much of the evening it appeared to be a case of chaos rather than structure. bruno fernandes It has long had a motivational impact but the power of personality can change the game. He provided United’s second goal – his seventh assist of the Premier League campaign which gave him more than anyone else in the division – and scored the third with a spectacular free kick, his third own goal in eight days.
Amorim may have been particularly pleased with United’s fourth goal: the combination of his two summer signings with Benjamin Cesco, his return from injury, setting up Matheus Cunha to score his second goal since his £62.5m arrival.
United received an assist from Djordje Petrovic, who was responsible for their first two goals. He kept Cunha’s header out to Amad and then let Casemiro’s effort slip through his hands.
Nevertheless, their offensive efforts provided confirmation for the Amorim’s formational change. It felt like he was admitting that he had been wrong for 13 months. It seemed as if United were being held back by stubbornness. Nevertheless, being impractical at the size preferred by previous managers, they could not defend.
After bringing back four, he accepted four. Antoine Semenyo and Ivanilson arrived amid a goal drought. By the time the former attacked, Bournemouth had gone 294 minutes without scoring a goal. The wait of the two players and the team is over.
Most of the credit should go to andoni irolaThere were two tactical rethinks: one by Amorim before kick-off, one by Irola after it, The Portuguese had lined up Lenny Youro against Semenyo, so Ireola sent him in the opposite direction, It was as a player on the right wing that he leveled, bouncing clear to drive in a shot,
But United led at half-time and, as they progressed to a league game at Old Trafford, they have not lost since 1984; Or, in other words, during the lifetime of the Amorim. Nine terrifying minutes put that record in jeopardy. Thirty seconds after halftime and with Haven playing onside, Ivanilsson scored his first goal in 11 games off a pass from Justin Kluivert. “We need to start the second half differently,” Amorim said.
It got worse when Marcus Tavernier scored on a low free kick, which Casemiro eventually conceded with a desperate foul on the scorer. Lammens was also guilty because perhaps he should have saved it.
Bournemouth thus became the first team in top-flight history to score at least three goals in three consecutive visits to Old Trafford. They had attacked here only five times in their history and 10 times in three times. “Man United, it’s happened again,” the visiting fans shouted after Tavernier’s strike. “It had everything,” Ierola reflected. “Moments where you think it’s a loss. Moments where you think we have this.”
Unlike the previous two seasons, Bournemouth did not win. However, this time they got four goals, courtesy of Junior Krupi. For United, 4-4-2 brought 4-4. The system is “for you to discuss, not for me,” Amorim said.
It seemed the big certainties were death, taxes and his insistence on 3-4-3. He had said, even the Pope could not get him to change it. However, whether papal intervention is required or not, the next task for a flexible new manager is to get United winning again at Old Trafford.
