    Ten Hag switched to an insane high press two-10s system leaving midfield even more exposed than before, leaving Case completely exposed having to do the work of two men. Then after Case misplaced one pass and we conceded he gets blamed for being shit when in reality it was the change to an unworkable system that practically doomed our early season results.

      Wouldn’t say it’s insane, the idea was for Shaw to tuck into midfield in possession and be that extra man in case of turnovers. But… he got injured after two games.

        It’s funny how people don’t even consider that tactics can affect a player’s form. They think Casemiro being late to challenges is because he’s in the space of a few months lost his legs, and not because he’s been running for two players.

        r/reddevils is just as bad.
