Quite glad the players ignored him tbh, seeing as we scored zero goals playing Dean's formation and three goals when we didn't.

It’s why the substitute was initially Bailey and not Young as we were being allowed so much space down that side. I am pleased that we now have the players to be less predictable in how we line up after being so dependent on one player over recent years.

If you think Bailey was a wingback, I can't convince you otherwise.
for me the key to beating Man U is to get their defence turned and put pressure on them int the centre of the park. For that reason it's the perfect game to try MartinezCash Konsa Mings Targett Luiz Nakamba Ramsey Ings Watkins BaileySo 433 but with Ings slightly deeper between the defence and midfield and Watkins and Bailey starting wider (and swapping sides) to either pull the full backs in or centre backs out. The 3 in midfield for us means we have support for our full backs when they attack (because the 3 behind Ronaldo tend to target the same areas as I mentioned above).
Mings was as left back as left back gets for a good 15 minutes. Bailey was playing left wing. It may not have been the intention, but it was the formation on the pitch.
