The Tactics Show: Creativity Gap
Episode 936
#937 | Ed and Dharnish dig into Manchester United’s approach at Spurs - why they're struggling to create away from home. They break down recent lineup choices, substitution patterns, and the contrast between United’s home control and away struggles. There’s plenty of focus on how Amorim’s setup and tactical caution is stifling its own progress.
The discussion moves through shape, roles, and execution - from the chaos after Casemiro departed, defensive shape, and the ongoing left wing-back conundrum. Amid the questions, Ed and Dharnish find signs of incremental improvement.
