Yeah, but people talk about... Free at the back is not a bad system.
It's a good system.
But the players that he's played in those systems and the mistakes that he's made along the way have been the mistake.
You know, that's where it's all fundamentally gone wrong for him.
And taking off players... When you're... If you have to...
When things aren't going your way, you have to maybe go to a back four or change it.
Or maybe, look, we're losing this game.
They've got a man sent off.
You don't stay free at the back.
And that's what Amrim kept making.
Those are the mistakes.
So even as the next manager comes and wants to play three at the back, you can still have success playing it.
Do I think it's the way forward for Man United?
No, because it's more of a counter-attacking system.
But it is still a good system.
Just on that point, Jamie, we can show you the stats from the game.
You talk about the counter-attacking system of the three at the back and the difference that maybe it makes if you do play four at the back for Manchester United.

30 shots that Manchester United have had.
The most they've had in a Premier League game this season.
