Weekend Review – Football trials advice and tips

I want to talk about Man Utd v Swansea and my thoughts on it. Focusing on United. Football trials advice and tips

Omission of Smalling and Shaw – one thing i am sure about is Jose doesn’t say or do something without a thought behind it. He criticized them for not showing that desire to play even when slightly hurt. I think you have to look at them differently. Shaw is going to be world class and has dipped a bit and for the sake of everyone he has to be looked after and make sure he gets through the next 6 months without any more serious injuries.  Smalling is more interesting, he is now an experienced professional and knows his body. Jose is not a doctor but is not afraid to take on his medical staff as it proved at Chelsea last season. Is Smalling time up already or is he proving a point to other players in the squad. Smalling character suggest he will keep his head down and work hard so maybe thats why he has had a pop at him. Its clear that Jose is trying something but will it work.

Defending in Zone 14

Swansea – Zlatans 1st goal is a perfect example of how not to defend in and around your box. Keeping your shape is vital but in an 1v1 situation you still have to do the basics well and Lee for Swansea didnt do this and he allowed the Zlatan an easy shot at goal. Poor defending

ROONEY – was involved in all 3 goals

He still looks a little down in confidence in front of goal but he again as usual worked hard for the team.

Carrick passes forward and understand the game. END OF!!!
