Discussion Your Lineup Prediction

  • This line up isn’t one for running in behind, anticipate lots of control and lots of the ball.
     
    Malacia makes me very nervous. Zirkzee might also mean not much chance of a goal. Looks decent otherwise though.

    So strange, here in Sweden we always have the possibility to choose to see all the games.

    It’s your home country and you can’t see all the games.

    Regarding the game, I really hope Amad and Yoro shines!

    Same in Belgium, bar the League Cup I can see every United game.

    He's still half-arsing it in training and did and interview saying he wanted to leave the club.

    The club put it out there first that he was for sale before his interview.

    I don't get the whole dancing around the issue, it's giving the manager an issue he doesn't need.

    Make an official statement that Rashford is leaving, it works for everyone

    I don’t think Malacia has been too bad since he came back, his natural left foot will give us a much better balance to progress the ball IMO.

    You mean apart from the fact no bids are in and we could well be left with him post jan?

    Two supreme wingbacks and one top class striker, and we'll look so much better.

    I do like the way Amorim is rotating things around. Means it's hard for us to predict his 11, but I don't mind the idea of us altering our lineups to reflect the opposition we're facing. Seems like smart management.

    He needs to improves in his attacking play though. I thought he use to be better at this before his injury.

    Too many games.

    Fact is it's now or never for Amorim.

    This isn't Sporting Clube de Crap. It's Billy Big Bollocks United. If he can't cut it here, he's done. Ratcliffe is right to wield the axe as he has. If Amorim does not win today never mind sacked he should be flayed and stocked with ill children charged full premium to pelt his pleading cadaver with rotten chicken.

    Sick of excuses for failure.

    It's better out there to avoid the manager having to answer the question every game.

    The club put it out there, am sure they were aware there isn't much demand for him because the feelers have been out there since last summer.

    Either you cut your losses or find a way to integrate him
     
    Couldn't care less what the result is today as long as we continue seeing progress and development in our all round general play style. I'm giving Amorim a complete pass until he has a Summer window to address our terrible forwards.

    It's a rhetorical question to the posters who are saying today is "must win".

    So if it's "must win" and he doesn't win, should that not mean his job is under pressure?

    I want them to explain what "must win" means in this context. Because we're playing a team higher up the table than us, more settled than us, and in better form than us.

    It's a "must" win if we want to have a chance of reaching top 4.

    Also if we can't win against Bournemouth at home, it will cause morale issues and you can bet there will be questions about Amorim and there should be.

    So far, I've seen promising signs from this team under new head coach. But results do need to come and so far they've been lackluster.

    I actually thought his attacking play has improved since coming back from injury in terms of his touch and ability to progress play from the back but his final delivery has been poor (same as before injury)
     
    A little worried about the height of our stating line-up. I hope we do not get too many corners against us.

    Thank you Amorim, balls.... something previous managers didn't have with the golden boy
    Click to expand...

    I love Amorim, really do, so it's not to take anything away from him but wonder what INEOS role in all this happaning now has been. I mean previous managers, with all their shortcomings, surely could see how poor influence/team player Rashford really is (something many fans have been saying for years), and i'd be surprised if they didn't try to address it behind scenes to no avail.
     
    It's strange to see people getting nervous/mad over lineups given how poor the squad is. No matter what team Amorim puts out there will be issues. We only have one specialist wing-back in the squad for a start and he's average (Dalot).
     
    I would sure appreciate a river flowing in me please if anyone can help?
