The Tactics Show: System Tweaks, Winning Streak

#931 | Ed, Dharnish, and Daniel unpack Manchester United’s three-match winning streak and the tactical shifts driving it. The conversation explores Ruben Amorim’s evolving setup - the changing press and out-of-possession shape, the role of the front three, Luke Shaw's tweaked role, Bruno's excellence in midfield. And how it all came together against Brighton. Beyond Old Trafford, the trio touch on Liverpool’s wobble, weaknesses in other top-six rivals, and how the African Cup of Nations could reshape the season. It’s an episode full of tactical detail and a bit of optimism. 0:00 - Introduction 4:40 - Defensive Compactness and Structure 9:10 - Forward Combinations 13:40 - Martinez's Upcoming Return and Impact 18:10 - Margins and Set Pieces 22:40 - Liverpool Analysis and Squad Flaws 28:20 - League Depth and Top Four Race 36:10 - Wrap If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
