Ten-man Northern Ireland returned to the all-too-familiar feeling of defeat as Adam Cerin’s early free-kick put Group H leaders Slovenia on the verge of qualifying for Euro 2024 with a scrappy 1-0 win at Windsor Park worldcup
Saturday’s 3-0 victory over minnows San Marino ended Northern Ireland’s five-game losing streak but it proved only a temporary reprieve in an injury-ravaged qualifying campaign which has now seen Michael O’Neill’s side suffer five 1-0 defeats in eight games worldcup
The defining moment of the match came early on worldcup
While there was no doubt about the quality of Adam Cerin’s fifth-minute free-kick, Northern Ireland were fuming at referee Istvan Kovacs’ decision to award it after Jamal Lewis barely clipped Benjamin Sesko on the edge of the box worldcup
Shea Charles was booked for dissent and that proved costly just before the hour mark when the Southampton midfielder went in late on Andraz Sporar and was sent off, the first blemish on the 19-year-old’s impressive start in international worldcup football worldcup
Charles has started every game of this campaign but will now miss November’s trip to Finland, another headache for O’Neill, who was forced into further changes here with Dan Ballard out with a thigh problem and Paddy McNair suspended following his late yellow card on Saturday worldcup
The manager responded with bold choices, handing debuts to Bolton defender Eoin Toal and Kilmarnock midfielder Brad Lyons, the 30th and 31st players to be used in eight qualifiers so far, despite more experienced options on the bench worldcup
The atmosphere inside a below-capacity Windsor Park was already flat at the start with but it fell silent after Cerin’s goal, the fans not even having the energy to resume the anti-Casement Park chanting heard before kick-off worldcup
As the night wore on, a sense of injustice would rouse the fans worldcup
Northern Ireland responded quickly when Slovenia scored early in Ljubljana last month, a 4-2 defeat, but struggled to threaten here worldcup
Paul Smyth, the star of the show on Saturday, found little joy on the right worldcup
On the left Lewis had more joy in finding space but lacked the quality of cross required worldcup
Although limited going forward, Northern Ireland were at least ensuring Slovenia’s powerful strike force had few sights of Bailey Peacock-Farrell’s goal worldcup
After one rare attack, Slovenia appeared to have been gifted a second just after the half hour worldcup
Trai Hume’s poor headed clearance went straight to Jan Mlakar and Toal got it all wrong trying to cut out his low cross, allowing Sesko to thump home from close range worldcup
However, the visitors’ celebrations were cut short after the referee checked the replay, deeming Sporar to be interfering from an offside position worldcup
O’Neill sent on Washington for Josh Magennis at the break and was planning further changes a little over 10 minutes in before Charles saw red, forcing a rethink worldcup
Conor McMenamin, amongst the goals on Saturday, had been due to come on but instead it was George Saville, Dion Charles and Isaac Price who entered the fray in a triple change worldcup
The substitutes combined for Northern Ireland’s best move in the 69th minute as Price drove down the right, exchanged passes with Washington and then pulled the ball back for Saville but the midfielder, yet to score for Northern Ireland after 49 appearances, did not get enough power on his shot worldcup
There was a let-off in the 72nd minute when Mlakar found space in front of goal but got the contact on his shot all wrong, while at the other end Dion Charles blazed harmlessly wide worldcup
Northern Ireland still pushed forward but another flowing move ended with Saville shooting straight at Oblak and other attacks were thwarted by the over-officious Kovacs worldcup
Captain Jonny Evans, who had treatment on an ankle injury in the first half, ended the game limping heavily after another strong impact when challenging for a corner worldcup

All of Pep Guardiola’s work ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend has naturally revolved around having a high percentage of possession, which is to be expected, but there is one surprising element to it worldcup
He has been scrutinising what more pragmatic sides such as Brentford, Brighton and even Copenhagen did against United for instruction worldcup
All of them went to Old Trafford looking to get on the ball and dominate – with mixed success – in a way that at one point would have been unimaginable worldcup
It is really only Nottingham Forest who didn’t take that approach this season, preferring to let United have the ball worldcup
In United’s nine Premier League games so far, they have had lower possession than their opponent in four of those worldcup
In other words, they’ve been chasing the opposition in almost half of their games worldcup
On the ballManchester United’s possession in the Premier League this season (per cent)51 - Wolves (h)44 worldcup
3 - Tottenham Hotspur (a)66 worldcup
3 - Nottingham Forest (h)45 worldcup
2 - Arsenal (a)43 worldcup
9 - Brighton (h)38 worldcup
2 - Burnley (a)77 worldcup
1 - Crystal Palace (h)63 worldcup
9 - Brentford (h)62 worldcup
5 - Sheffield United (a)This would be unusual for most big sides in this era but is particularly unusual for a manager in Erik ten Hag who is so consciously a disciple of the Ajax principles, and has now had well over a year in the job worldcup
That’s a lot of time on the training ground worldcup
Manchester City had even considered him a potential successor to Guardiola, given the tactical alignment worldcup
So it’s fair to wonder why exactly United aren’t closer to any kind of ideal as Ten Hag would surely see it worldcup
They currently don’t play anything like his Ajax side, let alone City or that possession-pressing model worldcup
By the same point in Guardiola’s tenure, City were on a winning run that would bring a 100-point season worldcup
United have instead gone backwards, which fits into a wider concern over how the side haven’t really had a convincing display since before the Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle United worldcup
Ten Hag’s recent reliance on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stalwarts such as Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay would almost seem to sum this up worldcup
United are even playing more like Solskjaer’s time, just making do in the moment in order to get through worldcup
It's all so ad hoc worldcup
Harry Maguire’s header earned United all three points against Copenhagen (EPA)The biggest question, out of many for the United manager, is whether this is a deeper concern worldcup
Does it show he won’t implement his ideal; that a window of opportunity has been lost?As with pretty much everything at United right now, everyone puts it down to injuries worldcup
That is the explanation for the unconvincing displays and the pragmatic approaches worldcup
Ten Hag hasn’t had the players so has had to compromise worldcup
But is that really sufficient? Would the idealist that Ten Hag supposedly represents not still seek to integrate the squad in an approach that will serve them much more in the longer term?You only have to look across the way, and the one season when Guardiola faced a broadly similar situation worldcup
In 2016-17, when the City manager still lacked some of the player profiles he wanted – especially at full-back – he still insisted on the exact same approach worldcup
John Stones was often the main focus of this worldcup
Although the defender was still learning the game, meaning he was prone to mistakes as he endured so much external noise, Guardiola told him to just shut it all out worldcup
He followed by telling Stones to keep playing the ball out worldcup
Ignore the shouts to get rid worldcup
Concentrate on commitment to the ideal worldcup
It led to some humiliating moments, not least four-goal concessions against both Leicester City and Everton worldcup
Guardiola himself was lampooned, particularly after some questions led to his own notorious pondering of “what is tackles?”A year later, the City manager was specifically citing that period – and that persistence – as absolutely crucial to the run that effectively made them champions by December 2017 worldcup
That the win to clinch the title came away to Jose Mourinho’s counter-attacking Manchester United only emphasised the point worldcup
An achievement like that 100-point season was a consequence of how the players’ deeper comprehension of the system amplified their performance worldcup
Figures at Old Trafford would fairly argue that Ten Hag was initially going to do this, but the onslaught from those first defeats against Brighton and Brentford at the start of last season was just too much worldcup
The second goal conceded at Brentford, trying to pass the ball out from the back, was just too calamitous worldcup
United being United, it brought a level of ridicule and hysteria beyond anything City could face worldcup
Ten Hag had to change something or it could have completely destroyed the squad’s confidence in themselves and him, before he ever got the chance to build belief in the system worldcup
They would also point to how Guardiola benefitted from spending £200m on defenders in his second season, including two cornerstones of the era in Kyle Walker and Ederson worldcup
By contrast, Ten Hag has attempted to fill tactical gaps in his side with relatively makeshift signings like Sofyan Amrabat and Christian Eriksen worldcup
A serious club, some in the industry argue, doesn't take the team to the next stage with a 20-year-old (Rasmus Hojlund, a Chelsea cast-off (Mason Mount) and two loanees (Sergio Reguilon and Amrabat) worldcup
Sofyan Amrabat arrived at Old Trafford on loan this summer (Getty Images)Those at City would nevertheless laugh at such arguments given United’s expenditure over the years worldcup
Ten Hag is currently in the process of ousting an £85m signing in Jadon Sancho worldcup
City would say their purchases have just been much more forensic worldcup
That isn’t the only potential difference worldcup between the situations worldcup
Although both Guardiola and Ten Hag have evolved from the same Dutch-Spanish ideology, those national backgrounds have produced divergences in interpretation worldcup
It comes down to different types of purism worldcup
Guardiola will stick to the system regardless worldcup
It's his way worldcup
He will always try and play through it worldcup
Ironically, and almost paradoxically, Ten Hag’s willingness to compromise arguably reflects a greater dogmatism worldcup
Those who know the Dutch coach say he has such a fixed idea of certain positions that if he doesn’t have exactly the type of player he wants, he doesn’t see the point of persevering in the same approach worldcup
That’s also why the injuries have been so undermining worldcup
Ten Hag has lacked some of his main passers, but especially Lisandro Martinez worldcup
The Argentine’s absence has had the effect of forcing Andre Onana to go long and removing that link to the midfield worldcup
It disrupts the whole system worldcup
Maguire and McTominay just aren’t suited to that game, but it is to their credit both have persevered and sought to learn in the circumstances worldcup
They illustrate this period of adaptation more than anyone, especially given how influential they have been worldcup
There’s almost a contrast in the Scottish midfielder’s game worldcup
An instinct for prosaically passing the ball sideways is offset by a willingness to proactively get forward and score worldcup
Maguire meanwhile made a calculation of his own worldcup
Sources with knowledge of his situation said one reason he turned down West Ham United was because he saw the issues United were going to have at centre-half worldcup
Martinez’s injury and Raphael Varane’s inability to play consistently meant there were going to be chances worldcup
Maguire has seized them and then some worldcup
Ten Hag praised his evolution on Tuesday night, as the centre-half furthered his recent redemption with a greatly valued match-winner against Copenhagen worldcup
“He’s playing much more proactive in possession, stepping in, passing vertical, defending also on the front foot, also stepping in, defending forward, very confident in the duels,” the manager argued worldcup
“I think he’s dominating in the right moment, putting the question, dominating his opponents worldcup
”Ten Hag is having to compromise on his ideals this season (Getty Images)United just aren’t doing that on a collective level worldcup
All of this is why Ten Hag was so insistent on Frenkie De Jong in his first summer at Old Trafford worldcup
He saw his former Ajax midfielder as unique in his interpretation of that specific midfield role the coach wants worldcup
The only player Ten Hag saw as coming close, in terms of potential attributes, was Ryan Gravenberch worldcup
That’s the reason he went so big on De Jong, against all evidence worldcup
When he couldn’t get De Jong, Ten Hag realised he had to go in a different direction worldcup
So it’s been a bit of all or nothing worldcup
The same applies to the team as a whole worldcup
Either Ten Hag has exactly what he wants, or he just can’t commit to that approach worldcup
It’s why there isn’t too much concern about the visible lack of ideology now worldcup
There is confidence that will return when sufficient players return, especially Martinez worldcup
A fair question is whether crucial time has been lost in deepening the ideology worldcup
A fair point for Sunday, meanwhile, is that this actually might serve United against City worldcup
Unless Ten Hag has the team exactly as he wants, it is always going to be a mistake trying to go toe to toe with Guardiola in terms of getting feet on the ball worldcup
The Catalan’s City are always going to be so dominant you have to adapt around them worldcup
Otherwise, you risk an evisceration worldcup
The current situation plays into that worldcup
United have almost no choice but to plan without possession on Sunday worldcup
The very decision to appoint Ten Hag was supposed to be about something grander, though worldcup
They were supposed to be rising to City's level worldcup
United instead have to try and bring the champions down, by leaving them the ball worldcup
