The Tactics Show: Victory over Liverpool; and What's Next for Carrick?

#1002 | Ed, Dharnish and Daniel react to United’s 3–2 win over Liverpool and debate whether “underlying metrics” matter without context? United are succeeding on fine margins with elite attackers and reduced chances conceded under Michael Carrick. They break down Carrick’s approach: bypassing the opposition press, sitting compact in a mid-block, and attacking quickly in transition. With Champions League secured and Carrick seen as favourite for the job, we discuss how his football might evolve toward more control while keeping his tactical flexibility. The focus turns to summer recruitment, especially finding the right midfield partner for Kobbie Mainoo, with quick-fire takes on targets like Wharton, Anderson, Baleba, Tchouaméni and Mateo Fernandez. 00:00 Introduction 01:24 Are the Underlying Metrics Bad? 04:38 Third Next Season - Acceptable? 08:31 Liverpool Match Analysis 10:20 Carrick's Game Model 13:52 How Does Carrick Evolve the Team? 22:53 Transfer Targets and Midfield Profiles 26:00 Rapid Fire Transfer Round If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
