It's playing like a team fighting to survive relegation.Couldnt work what tent peg tactics are. Seemed to be across of walking football and under's 8 kick it to the fast kid.
Ten Hag wanted to play transition/counterattacking football with his team, which is already odd in itself considering his reputation as a possession-heavy coach.
Probably largely due to Rashford and Fernandes being absolutely hopeless in possession football, yet Ten Hag seemed to have decided these 2 players will be the fulcrum of his system to anchor around.
The issue is, proper counterattacking teams like Simeone's, Mourinho's and even Thomas Franke's, have a proper plan to win the ball back consistently to facilitate counters, as well as a clear, consistent plan of exploiting counters to attack. Ten Hag, maybe it's his inexperience with this kind of footballing style, only plan seems to be a simple 'hoof the ball to Rashford'.
All of these is why they are consistently edging out 1-0s, 1-1s, 2-1s.
