    It's not about letting them dictate shit. It's simply that this squad ain't equipped for 3 at the back and 2 wingbacks.
    It was already atrocious under a more "conventional" system (ETH), I don't see wtf is the point of this formation if it's not to lose more points, concede more and score less goals.
    Of course its letting them dictate things. We've hired a guy based purely on the formation and the success it has brought him and you want him to change it because the players can't be arsed playing it.

    So not only do you want the players to determine the formation you want them to completely remove any authority the manager has, whether its Amorim or anyone else, because they'll know they can down tools until they get what they want.
     
    I've hardly looked at the TV throughout this game as i've not done for most of the last games. Just spend close to 2 hours weekly or twice a week being annoyed and looking at my phone or laptop.
     
    Forever looking backwards this lot, to scared to make a forward thinking move.
     
    Just no cohesion.

    I think Garnacho has to come on and help with Dorgu, I don't think Bruno is working well there.

    Without Amad we're fecking toast. Hojlund might as well not exist.
     
    Casemiro can’t play in teams wanting to keep possession. He hits the ball first time every single time he gets it
     
    On that last time Hojlund was in the box I counted about 6 or 7 Everton defenders in the box.
     
    That’s one of two passages of play I can remember in their final third. It’s nearly half time
     
    Just play the youths. I don’t even care if we lose playing them, I just want to watch players who look like they actually give a shit play for us.
     
    You said the same thing about Eth with a different system
    It's possible to get 2 different managers with 2 different systems that are both terrible. In fact, given the ineptness of our recruitment and overall hierarchy it's probable. They'll probably feck up the next appointment too because that's what inept people do
     
    We can't even progress the ball into areas for crossing, forget about actual crosses.
     
    See how Everton always have players crowded that edge of the box area. We have none.
     
    This starting XI cost over half a billion…
    Yup and they don't even look like they could beat a league 2 team at this rate.

    Thing is, theres no incentive for them to leave. They're getting played week in and week out, regardless of how crap they play and they're being paid an extortionate amount of money that they'd never get anywhere else.
     
    We will not be near a top 6 PL side until we get rid of Amorim, Onana, Maguire and MDL, never have I seen such a clumsy back 3 as the start of your spine, our spine is championship at best and our coach f….clueless switch to 4231 get some points you absolute imposter of a coach.

    This coach will be sacked tonight, this is truly awful, he won’t survive this, his team are abject and they are mirroring a completely clueless coach in the EPL.

    Berrada can go with him and any fan that still wants him as our coach is as clueless as the idiot picking a 5221 every game and then surprised why he’s losing 60% of his pL matches absolute fraud!

    Every game we are being set up just to defend and be battered, enough is enough!

    He has to go Tonight, I was all for giving him a chance but you don’t play 5221 as Man United Coach and keep your job, he’s a rookie and not suitable for Man United and he doesn’t merit any investment in his dysfunctional system.

    I'd give him til the end of the season and then if someone like Iraola is available I'd get him.
     
    We paid £100m in actual money for Zirkzee and Højlund. We paid £100m on Casemiro and Ugarte. We paid £120m on De Ligt and Maguire.
     
    Of course its letting them dictate things. We've hired a guy based purely on the formation and you want him to change it because the players can't be arsed playing it.
    No, I want him to change because it's not gonna work. Not before investing hundreds of millions in this team.
    Haven't we seen enough that it's not suited for this team ?

    Amorim is not the problem and is not going anywhere. The formation is not the problem, no matter how much you parrot it ignorantly.
     
    Amorim has to abandon a defender for Garnacho. We're inviting pressure playing this way and starting far too many slow, unathletic players as well.

    I know you’ve been desperate for this to happen for a long time, but it won’t happen, I’m afraid.
     
    True. Hojlund was what? £70m? And Zirkzee must have cost a few quid... Both look toothless.
    I do have sympathy for Hojlund, end of the day he didn't decide the transfer fee and he should have been bought as an understudy to another more established forward.

    Zirkzee though, sheesh, I genuinely don't know what profile he is, false 9, 9, 10. Whatever he is though he is offering next to nothing in a red shirt.

    Honourable mention for Dorgu on his first half display, looked decent
     
    For some reason we have always lacked physical players in midfield too which is one of the key ingredients in this league.
     
    Both teams are a bit shit. Everton's first touch is abysmal even in their better players.

    Main differences are intensity and will. Both goals could have been avoided with a little bit of those.
