Analysis of Nottingham Forest's first goal vs Manchester United, and where #MUFC went wrong in defending the attack
๐Ÿงต
SITUATION: GK+6 vs 5
In direct effect: GK+4 vs 5
Backline is in a 3v3 situation. The players should never leave the situation, unless another player can immediately take over their zone/player.
Dalot (LB) steps out with no COVER or COMMUNICATION, leaving himself in a 1v2, and leaving his player free.
CONCLUSION:
In a NUMERICALLY EQUAL SITUATION, a player in that zone should not leave it until there is cover. Leaving it without communication is another mistake.
The goal is not on the "positional sense" of any midfielder.
