Manchester United plays 343 super food, but Crystal Palace beats Liverpool strongly! What is the difference between Amorin and Glasner

Since Ruben Amorin coached Manchester United, he has won only 9 of his 33 Premier League games, and the Premier League teams can only rank 15th in the same period. People pointed their finger at Amorin's 343 formation, but Crystal Palace, which also played 343, scored 55 points, ranking fifth among all teams according to this score!

data shows that since November last year, only Liverpool and Arsenal have lost fewer games than Crystal Palace's five games. Oliver Glasner has led the team to remain unbeaten in 18 games in various competitions, including two defeats of Liverpool and winning Manchester City in the FA Cup final. On Saturday, Crystal Palace defeated Liverpool 2-1, giving the defending Premier League champion the first loss of the season. The team played two games this season, and the "London Flying Eagles" remained unbeaten with 1 win and 1 draw.

Amorin said that playing 343 is OK, he is not making excuses, because Glasner's basic formation is indeed the same as Manchester United. But why is Manchester United so terrible and struggling, while Crystal Palace is so strong? Because they are both 343 formations, there are obvious differences in the game between Amorin and Glasner.

Crystal Palace's 343 mainly retreats first and invites the opponent to control the ball to attack. After the team intercepts the ball, Daniel Munos and Ismaila Sal launched a devastating counterattack. Data shows that Crystal Palace's average ball possession rate was only 42.6% last season, ranking fourth from the bottom in the league. However, their excellent chances averaged 2.24 times per game, sixth in the Premier League.

When Crystal Palace gets the ball, it likes to pretend to pass the ball in the backcourt to attract opponents like Manchester United to press at high positions. Then the Flying Eagles saw the space behind the defender to attack directly, exert their personal abilities to break through, and finally scored in the combination of the side and middle. In addition to Manchester United, Eze also scored the winning goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

In contrast, Amorin's 343 tactics prefer to possess the ball and try to create more shooting opportunities. But once the opponent defends closely, it is easy to be unable to start the pass and control tactics, even Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City will find it difficult. Not to mention Amorin's Manchester United, they have no system and strength, and they lack confidence in scoring goals.

So fans often see that Manchester United seems to pass a lot, control the ball, and shoot a lot, but in the end, the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, grasps the loopholes in the defense, and is eventually tied or even lost. Repeat this.

As Amorin and Manchester United executives said, so far this season, the team has shown some positive signs and created many opportunities, but the opponent has also got a lot of opportunities and grasped it better, so it is more of the Red Devils' opponents who win the game.

The survey conducted by the British Metro News showed that 63% of participants believed that Amorin's 343 style of play obviously would not work and had to change the lineup. Only 37% supported him to stick to his principles.

If Amorin had to play in the 343 formation, he might need to adjust his tactics to be more secure and kick the opponent's counterattack. This is also the reason why Manchester United often performs better when facing strong teams. In those games, the Red Devils first established themselves on solid defense.

This tactic may also be more in line with the characteristics of Manchester United players, especially some core players. Although the club has spent 200 million pounds to buy people in almost every summer window in the past few years, this does not mean that the strength of Manchester United players is stronger than Crystal Palace.

Since Tenghager confirmed to coach in April 2022, Manchester United has spent 830 million pounds to buy people, but at least 30% of them are inflated prices. The transfers of Andre Onana, Anthony, Hoylund and others are basically a waste of money. The players who were sold, such as Ellanga and McTomine, are more suitable for Amorin's current style of playing.

Most of the current Red Devils players lack obvious characteristics, and the head coach is not good at playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, and plays the maximum role of the players through appropriate tactical plans. One of the most discussed topics is Bruno Fernandez, the best player in Manchester United for many years, has to retreat to the midfield in order to accommodate the new player under Amorin, which is not his suitable position at all.

Many people questioned why they needed to introduce Cunya and Mbemo at the same time, but refused to sell the B fee. Buying less No. 10 player or selling the captain can help Manchester United sign another suitable midfielder they can't find in the team at the moment.

In contrast, although Crystal Palace sells one main player every year, Olise and Eze leave one after another, and there are failed signings like Nketia and Franka, they can always ensure that there are candidates suitable for their team's playing style. Their midfielder is Adam Walton, coveted by Manchester United, and is paired with 30-year-old champion Will Hughes, who once dyed Casemiro red. Although their forward line lost Olise and Eze, they still have fast and hard-working forwards such as Ismaila Saar and Matthatta.

Even though Crystal Palace earned 63 million pounds this summer, it only spent 47 million pounds to buy people, they still have many players that other Premier League giants are willing to accept, such as Walton is the favorite of all strong teams, and Liverpool has always wanted Mark Guy. The goalkeeper position of the Eagles is standing at Manchester United's abandoned Dean Henderson.

Glasner also has a much better advantage than Amorin, that is, Crystal Palace can play anyway, and can adopt a more tough defensive strategy and will not be criticized for their playing style. Manchester United still misses its glory in the Freud era, looking forward to challenging the trophy every season, and must also adopt an active offensive strategy, or at least try to do so. Otherwise, even if you win the championship like Mourinho, fans will complain that they are not good-looking and they are embarrassed to be beaten by others. If Glasner coaches Manchester United, he may not be able to escape the ending of "not the same".
