❌ CHALLENGES IN BUILD-UP - Man-to-man BOU press - No solutions - Zirkzee ineffective as target man

- Evanilson's curved run prevents United baiting press and using "play out to play in" concept to find free CCB in midfield - Potential solution: staggered pivot to enable 3rd-man circuits (Onana -> Maguire -> Mazraoui)

❗ANXIETY IN POSSESSION

- Poor decisions when under pressure

- Indecision under pressure

❌ OVER-DIRECTNESS IN POSSESSION

🧱 MANIPULATED MID-BLOCK R.H.S.: - BOU positional superiorities to manipulate MUN players' positioning

L.H.S.: - Dynamism between Semenyo and Smith - Smith positioned behind Fernandes (positional superiority)

- Leads to free-kick for BOU's 1st goal

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ DYSFUNCTIONAL PRESSING - BOU wide overloads to play out

- Poor decisions

- Mix-up of individual roles - Knock-on effect

The game acted as a reality check for Ruben Amorim's men as it exposed a couple of weaknesses in the team. Nevertheless, credit should be given to Andoni Iraola who set up his side incredibly to exploit those weaknesses.
