Ralf Rangnick
11/29/21 • 36 min
United have a new manager and a new... consultant? We look at Rangnick's limited but striking statistical profile over the last decade and the style of pressing that is evident in the numbers. And then we ask, what will he do with a United squad that is significantly but also clearly not entirely a good fit for this pressing style?

Ole Out, Arteta ??, Tuchel In
Things finally went so bad at United that Ole is out but it's not clear any of the underlying problems are solved. Arsenal got whooped and we're on the aggregates beat again.

How do we look at performance and tactical indicators in very small samples when evaluating clubs and managers?
