I understand that we're trying to play out from the back - that's clearly what Amorim wants. But surely we have to take into account that Bournemouth are one of the best pressing teams in the league. As soon as Dorgu gets the ball, he has to expect immediate pressure. His first touch didn’t help him, but even so, he needs to move the ball much quicker. On top of that, too often our players are receiving the ball, looking up, and finding no real options because others aren’t in the right positions. It completely kills the tempo and slows everything down.

Shocking that our board wanted a manager playing 541 basically. But not surprised..
"I like Dorgu. But he's no football player"
I just made a similiar comment I cant stand it and I don't know how the manager can.
We seem to be the only team that makes this formation, our managers speciality, look this terrible to be fair. The Italians, Leverkusen, Wolves, Palace all look solid playing it
Nothing exciting about it either, we're such a boring team to watch.Watch yous all complain about ex United players complaining about a manager losing the majority of the matches. Maybe just maybe the criticism is justified.Worst thing about this season is the inevitability of watching us. We nearly always concede first and we rarely score. Majority of this season has been watching us trundle our way to an inevitable loss.
The deflection made it impossible to save from that distance and with that power.
Onana is shite but there are goals he won't be able to preventTime and time again, we want to play safe by passing back to goalkeeper, whether it is a corner or freekick. ETH wants to play from the back and we started conceding goals, Amorim comes in and decided that we will play from the back. Why does this managers ever learn? Bournemouth 3-0???? Dumb team and incompetent manager, 17th here we come. We can have Mandini, we will still concede.So comfortable for Bournemouth.If Casemiro made a similar two footed challenge as the one that was cleared by VAR, you just know he'd have been sent off.We are soooo poor
Not yet. Thursday...If dorgu is Amorim’s idea of a good purchase, next season is fecked alreadyWhy can't we play with the ball? It's ridiculous.Our league form is atrocious. We are so lucky the bottom 3 have been THAT bad otherwise we'd be fighting relegation.
Yep, this goal was a consequence of this abomination of a formation. Too many players in the same deep positions, no out pass.Dorgu just young and not use to the pace of this league. Touch is fine, it's the lack of time on the ball....Dorgu is shit and will remain. You can’t polish a turd. He has too many flaws and can’t pass or beat a man to save his life.
I'm not saying you said that, I was referring to the fact that they've nothing to play for.
They are shite but not 15th shite.Won’t be surprised if Bournemouth get another before half time
I think that this is very fair criticism. I want the ball played forward and into the more creative players much quicker. If one person from defence has to break the lines from defence to midfield, then great. All this sideways, backwards passing just plays us into trouble. Our attacking players have to constantly drop back and we end up playing deeper and deeper.
We got a lwb that can't pass, can't dribble and can't defendPeople blaming Onana for their goal
any excuse eh?
You mean all season mate, it’s constantly fecking garbage yet Amorim persists with it and even in playing a back 6 if you include Casemiro we’re wide open and overrun every fecking week.This may be the worst first 30 minutes I have seen from United this season. And we have been really poor most of the time.Dorgu is crap like most of our signingsAll caveats of Europa league importance aside, I just cannot get over how awful our players are at every facet of the game. I seriously cannot accept we are a PL side.
It's more to do with the poor technical level of the team and this stupid instance on building from the back. Palace doesn't hesitate to pump it forward
He did… and he was
But but physicality!
Our overall passing is shambolic, we always pass behind players never into their stride or trying to push the forward. It’s been this way for years.Who is playing up front for us? Havent seen anyone thereThe club puts training videos out every week, and they basically consist of ten minutes of playing rondo. Then come match day, it's like they've never passed a ball to eachother.Another shite performance. These players are awful.Bilbao must be more concerned about comet 2024 YR4 than playing us on ThursdayAmorim has done absolutely nothing to improve us. This is the worst Utd I've ever watched.
Ball was past him before he dived. He's shite but everything isn't on him....- Status
