16 shots, 5 on target

This is what happens when you don't buy an actual striker. We create but cannot finish, not skilful enough up there and not enough composure.

Offside · 2024-12-22T15:32:33+0000

The only thing from Ruben’s perspective is that Bournemouth, Forest and Arsenal are actually doing well in the league. If we go to Wolves and get done then I’m very worried no matter how early.

It's going to be a jump between promising and shit this year isn't it

Sandikan · 2024-12-22T15:32:40+0000

Bloody hell even Amad can't hit a target from 18 yards now.

TsuWave · 2024-12-22T15:32:41+0000

Haven’t felt like this since Ten Hag. This is the first defeat under Amorim where I actually feel sick

Hughie77 · 2024-12-22T15:32:46+0000

Merry Xmas. Everyone. Starting 11 not good enough . Beating city wasn't much there hopeless have been for months come up against a side thats going for it this happens.

Makes to many changes . The Rashford debacle will raise its head again. Amorin needs points in the league . If it wasn't for Southampton and Leicester being whipping boys and Ipswich. We be looking at wrong end of the table.. Jan ,Rangers at home is the most important game .

Best way to remove Bruno as captain s to sell him this summer.

Without him we wouldn't create anything.

Sassy Colin · 2024-12-22T15:33:09+0000

Amad channelling his inner Bruno.

But still, if we've any chance of getting back into this, it's going to come from those 2.

Telsim · 2024-12-22T15:33:10+0000

Is this another one of those games where United "dominated" the opposition?

We need a class striker or two. Get back to a 442. Nothing else has worked.

Yeah let’s go back to 1995, that’ll work a treat.

we cant create, play well, but fall apart in a 10 minute and BOOM 3-0 down

Bruno Fernandes literally has zero composure in these situations. Actually think he's one of the biggest culprits of the number of humiliating losses we have faced in the last 3-4 years.

He loses his head before everyone else and tries dumb things, giving the ball away constantly for us to then get battered. He's the first player you should hook as soon as you're 2-0 down, so it doesn't end up 3+

Problem is, he’s the only player in the side who can create a goal out of nothing. I agree with your assessment that when he loses his composure we’re cooked, but he’s still our best player and best hope for a goal.

Skills · 2024-12-22T15:33:29+0000

Another turnover by Bruno Fernandes due to his lack of composure

JPRouve · 2024-12-22T15:33:32+0000

Is Bruno about to cry? :lol:

Are you saying that Bournemouth player for player have a better team than us and that we should expect to be losing 3 nil at Old Trafford?

No but we don't have good enough players to comfortably win this game 9 times out of 10, so you need everyone to be on it.

Bournemouth are a good side but they haven't played well here. We've handed 3 points to them here.

Banana Republic · 2024-12-22T15:33:43+0000

This was a really good chance to start digging ourselves out of the bottom half and get within a few points of 5th place.
We've completely blown it and if we draw or lose at Wolves on Boxing Day, then we will be firmly stuck down in the bottom half.

We need to start being braver in selling to buy. There are some (crazy I know) players who have value in our squad, but do not fit the system.

People want to behead me whenever I suggest that Garnacho and Bruno being sold would probably be a smart move for the right price

Let’s face it. Amorim is having a fecking disaster and lost the majority of his games.

He'll quickly realise that most players don't suit 3 at the back, don't spend most of their careers playing it and our lot especially are terrible at following tactics.

DJ_21 · 2024-12-22T15:33:49+0000

Conceding 6 at home to forest and Bournemouth is a joke. We should be well close to the top 5 now.. all eggs into the Europa league basket.

Plus one off the line earlier at the corner. Going forward hasn’t been hopeless but we are conceding so many soft goals. Forest, Spurs and again today.

I understand the rotation especially going into the Christmas period now but at some point we need more consistency.

Going out of the League Cup and a tough FA cup draw may end up being a blessing if it allows us to have one game a week for a while.

Probably, because there will be no reason to rotate. He can pick the side he trusts and in the right positions. Shaw and Mount be terminal sicknotes has not helped either.

Nah, I think Amorim will call it how it is after this. We've been utter shite.

At some point a tough conversation needs to be haved about him.
He definitely is one of the worst culprits when it comes to sloppy turnovers leading to goals scored.
I would honestly make de Ligt captain, because there's simply no one else in the squad who deserves it or shows enough leadership.
Maybe Maz.

And maybe in the summer, we can gamble and sell him, get in someone who doesn't give the ball away cheaply, and has same composure.

I predict he won't be starting next season much. I'm sure Amorim sees it. If he is not taking his chances and creating chances, not sure his risks are worth it.

Mate, you could have Fergie, with Pep an Klopp as assistants, and you still ain't going to turn this team into world beaters

Accept that this is a mid team and most shouldn't even be a first 11 for a club like manutd

This always felt like the risk of appointing Amorim now.

We likely would do better just keeping it simple as Ruud did. Going back to basics and not having Ten Hag’s tactics would have likely seen an improvement.

The question needs to be is this period of adjustment going to be worth it later this season or next season. Does starting this work now give Amorim a head start on building his team?

Problem is the top 4 spot is wide open, we're fecking shite but there's no excuse to not be above Forrest and Bournemouth who are 4th and 5th and have both just been to OT and took the piss

They are a settled team, been coached by him for a couple of seasons and have had a weeks rest, not a very hard game on Thursday. Iraola had his problems when he first came in.

I went to last seasons game at OT where they comfortably beat us 3-0 as well.

They walloped ETH's United as well. A lot is mentality. You can do all the skill you like, but if you are weak mentality wise you will not be good at United.

It’s ok, he will just sack some more low paid staff to cover the cost.

He did that against spurs. We shouldn't be bringing ugarte off for anyone other than casemiro. I am also a bit fed up of seeing Bruno deeper.

Would like to see casemiro alongside ugarte

Again I will say it. If Amorim doesn't drop Bruno, or rather he makes him is main man then, Amorim won't survive 12 months.

How people dont see the weakness we have with having poor midfielders is why we lose games every 2 matchdays is still a mystery.

Even might Pep is being fcked up by poor midfielders.

Amorim needs to learn very early

We might score one, but it's a very heavy might.

We're basically like Tottenham at the moment without the goals.

They’ve just got a new manager though and it will be his first home game so there going to be rocking.
