Teams have had a lot of luck recently countering against City. They're basically us under Ten Hag big gaps everywhere.City also playing 3 at the back? Looks like they're trying to copy our formation.
Because that shouldn't be our tactic against so called big teams long term..and they're in really poor form.
The fact its been happening for years makes me think of an obvious one that isn't Garnacho
We need to force play down their left hand side. Amad and Mazraoui linkup is our main chance of doing anything reallyBold statement to not even have Garnacho and Rashford in the squad assuming no injuries. I’m not complaining though. Starting lineup is probably our most ideal in the moment.
Well you know, like some famous football scholar said:
"Whichever team scores more goals usually wins"
M.OwenWhen fans talk about players being 'dropped' as if the said player was first name on the team sheet. Since Amorin is only just coming near to what he sees as his number 1 starting 11 and learning more about the players. Rashford just hasn't been selected. Nor has Garnacho, these guys were never first name on the team sheet players, and they obviously havn't done enough to warrant a spot in Amorin's first 11. Bruno and Amad have been mainstays, along with Ugarte, Maz etc. Its also clear he sees Rasmuss as his main front man, atm these guys are the 'undroppables' in the 'must win' games.
Take it you haven’t watched Man City play these last two months? They are massively suspect on the counter.The drama at this football club is unreal
Good on Amorim for taking these decisions & stamping his authority. We’ve spent too long placating players to the detriment of the club.
I hate to say this tired reason but Fergie did it over and over again in big games? It’s not a sign of weakness, you just don’t like the style, which is your right."I pay attention to everything"
I thought Antony did well for his standards last time. Brought some life into the game and all. Maybe he finds some opportunity today if he’s subbed in.
If try that’s fine but let’s be honest other players have been just as bad and still playing…looking at you Mr Dalot!
Of Rashford yes. But Garnacho was never nearly as bad (especially with pressing and defensive contributions / level of effort).Good on Amorim leaving them two out. The man has just arrived and they are already undermining the new manager. Makes me angry how pathetic and entitled some our players are.I want Amorim to be ruthless. This is great. Rashford is probably done here, but really want to see how Garnacho responds.
I'm not debating that, I'd personally prefer him to stick to his approach of having more control. Not soak up and hit on the break stuffVery defensive lineup and it makes sense. Bruno and Ugarte are going to have to play very good if we hope to have some good attacks. I hope Ajax and Mount can interact well.Garnacho is clearly out due to him and/or his brother leaking the team. The discipline has to be done and the consequences of leaking information must be ommitance from the squad, otherwise there's no incentive to stop doing it.
As for Rashford, he's likely left out to communicate the message that drastic changes are required and he has to take them seriously.
Garnacho barely shows the foresight to consistently pick the correct pass. Doubtful he thought this one through as such.
That will trigger a whole lot of people . Loving it.
Well then I hope it gives Garnacho the motivation he needs to be better. I've lost hope for Rashford.
That's true, we've been playing it for so long that any game it could be used scares me well just settle for it again..probably wouldn't happen with this manager howeverI don't really mind leaks 2 hours before a game but a full day before the game is really taking the piss. Not convinced it's any of the players leaking it. Leaks are normally by other members of staffRashford not even on the bench. Ruthless from Amorim. I love it!
I agree but Amorim needs to be consistent going forward.
Will he ever drop Bruno from the squad or Onana? If they deserve to be dropped and yet continue to be picked it breeds resentment.I can see Rashford dropped for his performance levels, Garnacho more for maybe his attitude around the club going off what Amorim has said.
I’d still rather Garnacho on the bench though.
Pardon my ignorance but what does having putting your clothes on to do with it? Are they putting their shirts on first before their shorts or vice versa that Ruben doesn’t like?
Other than that, very happy with those words. His way or no way.
Looks like the classic Barca 343 diamond.Fully behind Amorim to clean out whoever needs cleaning out.
Please let this be the day it all clicks!!!Loving the line up and exclusion of the two prima Donnas. Hoping we get a win and kick start the seasonPep has decided to stop dropping Ederson for the PL games despite the clanger he dropped vs Juve the other night?There's still a good amount of pace in the team, even without Rashford and Garnacho. The bench options don't look great but there is energy in the team still, hopefully we can hurt City.
No, they weren’t because Dalot’s issue was never his workrate and desire. It’s unforgivable to not have that at this level.Went with the leaked line up and got all XI right in the Amorim area. Feels like cheating but heh!!- Status
