The Tactics Show: What Went Wrong and How Carrick Can Fix It

Episode 1063

Friday, October 30, 2026 • Duration 40:28

#1063 | Manchester United have given Michael Carrick more time, with no date, no number of games and no target attached. Ed and Dharnish look at what has to change in the meantime. The press comes first: a half-press in which players arrive late, leaving United’s back-four exposed. The build-up has lost its triangles and possession dominance that offers no control. United’s defence is disorganised and the most experienced centre-backs are built for a deep line, which limits how aggressively Carrick’s team can press. Then there’s a look ahead to Chelsea at the weekend, a team that scores freely but with a questionable defence. And ahead to the midweek game against Roma’. Gasperini’s team likes to press man-to-man. The verdict is that not all of United’s problems is tactical, but the rest is out of Carrick’s hands. 0:00 Intro: Carrick gets more time 4:08 What’s gone wrong with the pressing 8:32 How Carrick could fix the press 14:19 Buildup and central progression 18:13 Defensive frailties and the rest defence 21:33 Meltdown mode and managerial patience 23:51 Platforming players: picking the XI 27:26 Chelsea preview 30:52 Roma and Aston Villa 35:26 Wrap-up Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

The Inevitable End

Episode 1062

Monday, October 26, 2026 • Duration 59:24

#1062 | Michael Carrick looks set to be sacked after a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, coming off the 4-1 loss at Como. Ed and Daniel go through the game and the week around it. If this is the end, Carrick went out with a statement: Bruno Fernandes criticising the staff in public then sitting on the bench without being used. Then the disintegration of Carrick’s time at United, with the manager increasingly reaching for odd solutions as the season fell apart. With the squad giving Carrick very little in recent weeks, the conversation turns to the owners and executives who decide what happens now. The same guys who picked Ten Hag and Amorim and Carrick decide who’s next, with Eddie Howe probably the favourite. In the short term United need to manage the crisis, but with a summer of expiring contracts and more investment needed than is likely, does a new manager really change anything? 0:00 Match Reaction 3:47 Bruno vs Carrick 11:08 Team Selection & Tactics 16:35 Season in Freefall 19:09 The Owners 23:56 Who’s Next? 34:59 Eddie Howe 51:09 What Happens Next?

A Como-dy of Errors

Episode 1061

Thursday, October 22, 2026 • Duration 58:00

#1061 | Manchester United were beaten 4-1 at Como in the Champions League. Ed and Dominic try to make sense of it. United’s pressing does not work; the players asked to lead it cannot do it, and Como passed through United at will. Carrick’s vision for the team is slipping by the week. How much is that on Carrick and how much on a club run by the same people who hired and fired ten Hag and Amorim, with a squad that was barely improved in the summer? Carrick probably won't go yet, though the November break and the January window are the usual moments for change. There there's Bournemouth at Old Trafford this weekend and a manager running short of options. 0:00 Intro: United spanked by Como 4:02 United’s press isn’t working 15:31 Sponsor break 16:50 Ownership 27:21 The game itself: the goals 30:15 Squad and recruitment 40:55 Bournemouth preview 51:18 Wrap-up Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

United Draw Ugly

Episode 1060

Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 47:33

#1060 | Michael Carrick changed the system at Elland Road and United came home with a 1-1 draw. It was closer to a street fight than a football match for much of it. Ed and Dharnish go through United’s approach and performance, including a back three and Bruno Fernandes pushed out wide. It wasn’t very pretty but at least United matched Leeds for physicality before the second half slipped away. The point leaves United on two wins from 10 across all competitions this season. The question on everybody’s lips is how long Carrick has? More defeats over the next few weeks will increase the pressure on club and manager. Then, what does a growing injury list mean for United’s trip to Como in the Champions League. 0:00 Carrick changes the system 0:46 Leeds away: a proper scrap 2:46 What’s going on with Bruno? 6:37 Fight and physicality, but no football 17:22 Should Carrick be sacked? 26:03 Does Bruno need a rest? 33:24 Preview: United vs Como 42:26 Final thoughts and sign-off Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

The Tactics Show: Meltdown Mode

Episode 1059

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 34:19

*Apologies for the dodgy audio on this week's episode* #1059 | Ed, Dharnish, and Daniel open in meltdown mode. Manchester United have two wins from nine and the latest crisis is the fallout from Lisandro Martinez’ criticism of Jason Wilcox. The tactics tell the story. United conceded after 50 seconds at Atletico with five players in one zone and nobody closing down. They had used a 4-4-2 mid-block against Spurs and were pulled apart anyway. The diagnosis is a team caught between pressing high, sitting deep, and dominating the ball. Masters of none. From there, we work through questions around Yoro, Maguire, Martinez and De Ligt at centre-back. Then there’s Leeds’s 3-5-2 to deal with at the weekend and what Como will ask of United next week. 0:00 Meltdown mode 1:35 Pressing problem vs Atlético 5:24 High press or mid-block? 7:51 Spurs: the 4-4-2 falls apart 9:58 Squad building and Carrick’s vision 14:57 Centre-back questions: Yoro, Maguire, De Ligt 18:29 Ball dominance isn’t working 25:00 Predicted XI vs Leeds Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

Martinez Calls Out the Board

Episode 1058

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 • Duration 59:33

#1058 | Ed and Dominic pick over United’s 2-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid. It was better than the scoreline but still leaves Michael Carrick under pressure. United opened with another defensive blunder but grew into the game, creating some decent chances before losing Leny Yoro to a dubious red card. But defeat is defeat and the noise around Carrick is likely to grow, especially if the run of Leeds, Como, Bournemouth, and Chelsea goes badly.Then post-match, as we were recording, Lisandro Martinez dropped a bombshell! 0:27 Intro: another defeat in Madrid 1:15 Team news, formation, and that opening goal 7:44 The noise around Michael Carrick 15:39 If not Carrick, then who? 21:17 VAR, the disallowed goal, and the red card 25:33 Midfield: Santos, Baleba, and the trade-offs 31:38 Martinez calls out the board: recruitment and finances 50:20 City, PSG, and the cheating debate Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

The MUWFC Show: Eva Olid Era Takes Shape

Episode 1057

Tuesday, October 13, 2026 • Duration 45:46

#1057 | Ed and Andy catch up on four straight wins for United Women, which have turned the mood around after a difficult start to the season. 10-1 against Sheffield United, a narrow victory over West Ham, 5-1 against Durham, and a single goal victory over Liverpool. The team’s personality is becoming clearer under Eva Olid. The conversation widens to goalkeeper depth and how a youth-heavy squad is developing. Then there’s a preview of the games in the coming week. Charlton in the WSL, a second meeting with Liverpool in the Players Cup, and the Manchester derby. Read the Barmy Article 0:26 Intro 1:40 New momentum: four wins in a row 5:22 Aggressive press 10:50 Goalkeeping depth 16:38 Crowds, marketing, and the fanbase 19:12 Young players coming through 26:39 WSL picture and City’s charges Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

Well That Was Dreadful

Episode 1056

Sunday, October 11, 2026 • Duration 01:01:37

#1056 | Ed and Daniel pick through Manchester United 1-1 Tottenham, a game United led until the 92nd minute but in which they played badly for most of the 90. The first half was as poor as anything this season, with Spurs running through United’s midfield at will. One side was moving, the other standing still. Carrick’s changes on the hour briefly changed the game, including a positive cameo from Carlos Baleba. But after Spurs were reduced to 10 men, United went into their shell and produced some more comedy defending. Where does Michael Carrick go from here, especially with Tuesday’s trip to Atletico coming up fast, and a very difficult schedule ahead. Nobody at the club wants another manager change but we’ve seen this film before. 0:00 Match reaction: United 1-1 Spurs 2:15 Squad building and transfers 8:25 Tactical analysis: pressing and intensity 15:50 Accountability and selection 24:15 Baleba 31:10 Red card 40:30 Manager future and fixtures 53:20 Atletico preview and sign-off Sponsor Ready to have an AI that can tackle real work?

City Fallout, Spurs Preview

Episode 1055

Friday, October 9, 2026 • Duration 59:58

#1055 | Ed and Dharnish talk about Manchester City's cheating three weeks on from the verdict and with the appeal under way. City's “it was government money” defence falls apart when the government, the sponsors, and the owner turn out to be one family. With club and fan denial hardening, the likeliest exit is a sale, or a vote to expel if City keep fighting. There's some chat about why Financial Fair Play was created in the first place, Andy Burnham and the UAE’s investments in the UK, and what Guardiola knew. Then it’s back to the football with Spurs on Saturday. Sesko is ruled out and Dorgu is injured. Will Cunha play through the middle again, what's the right balance in midfield as Baleba returns, and is there a case for Yoro’s pace at centre-back after his France debut? The episode finishes with Ronaldo’s complaint over his Portugal minutes against Messi’s emotional send-off, and Ferguson’s book tour and what he said about living to see the new stadium.

Never Really About Football

Episode 1054

Sunday, October 4, 2026 • Duration 01:19:22

#1054 | Ed and Paul pick through the fall out from City’s guilty verdict and conclude this is a geopolitical story more than football. The outcome might well owe more to diplomacy than to Premier League rules. Andy Burnham's situation and UK ties to Abu Dhabi suggest where the pressure is coming from. There’s a long look at the City fanbase: why will so few will engage with the evidence or a reasonable discussion about what’s happened? How did a club that was once the punchline become the vehicle of a state? There’s the damages bill that could run into billions and whether the other 19 clubs would really vote to expel. Could the only clean exit be a settlement fund and a forced change of ownership? 0:00 The guilty verdict 2:54 A geopolitical story 9:42 CAS 2020, six emails and the redactions 15:03 Financial doping 27:18 Why City fans won't engage 30:40 Who's who in Abu Dhabi 39:31 Was FFP ever a fair rule? 47:00 Lawsuits, damages and expulsion 55:36 Can titles be reassigned? 1:02:36 Settlement and getting the owners out 1:12:29 Wrap 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.
