When you come into a top club as a coach – except you find a system that suits you – then you can go along with it… Building a system is one of the first things a top coach would try to do…
Manchester city has lost 9 out of their last 12 games. But you know what?
Their system has never changed. They still play their type of football… Things ain’t just working out for them.
When Erik Ten Hag (ETH) came to Manchester United, he used his system in his first two games; he lost the games. A 4-0 defeat to brentford and 1-2 defeat to Brighton. He panicked and changed everything he ever knew, and that would spell the beginning of his downfall.
Yes, we, as Man United, did well that season, but we weren’t playing to impress. If we scored 1 or 2 goals we would just try to hold on to it till the final whistle… He wasn’t trying to create a winning system anymore, but only wanted results whatever way we got it… It was at that point Ten Hag lost the plot…
Ruben Amorim has come with a new system of 3-4-3, yes we have lost woefully and won some… Do you know if Amorim was just playing to win games he knows how to line up players to do so? But no! He’s trying to build a system that can help the team reach their peak in the future. It takes time to build..
If Amorim ever changes his system, just to win games, trust me, he’d be one of the other coaches on the sacked list. This is because when you play without a system, it might work for a while but it will eventually collapse and you will be exposed. it’s never sustainable.
