This is bad. Amorim stubborness when his tactics has been found out by most EPL teams. His way might works in Portugal but he needs to shore up the team for now or he wont last till next season

There's no point persisting to instal a system where 70% of the squad is going to be replaced anyway.

It's not FM, he needs to finish at least respectively around 8th. A free season doesnt mean a blank cheque

+1

Literally got him by the throat in front of the ref....

lysglimt · Sunday at 15:59

Amorim has turned a bad team into one of the worst teams - now that takes some doing

strandty · Sunday at 15:59

Absolutely done with this lot

SirMattlives · Sunday at 15:59

Guess we need a few new players...

This squad wouldn’t preform in any formation, we’re just shit.

Exactly. We didn't exactly set the world alight under Ole or ETH, just decided to turn up for two cup finals and feck the bread and butter games.

What is the point of playing this dumb system with three at the back (who are not good at it) if we aren't going to sign any players to have it work properly?

How we've fallen in the striker department,

This is exactly the reason we are shit. How many goals have our two 'strikers' scored? Fergie had it spot on. good strikers win you games. We havent had a good one since Cavani and he was over the hill.

Why put an arbitrary position on this season. The league is dead anyway and I'd rather he start drumming the tactics into the team now rather than the summer after unknown replacements come in. It also gives him a better idea of who is capable of what.

Unless we look seriously in danger he should carry on getting things right his way.

A clear difference is that Amorim has only been in charge for a couple of months, and hasn't signed a single player? Quite clearly a nonsense comparison.

It is an inaccurate comparison because at least Ange had an initial impact.

Are Brighton always such pathetic diving shits or do they just save it for playing us

No they are, but they're really popular and inoffensive to a majority of football fans at the moment, so it goes under the radar

lex talionis · Sunday at 16:00

We can push Liverpool to a draw but get dismembered by Brighton.

For the last time, the system is not the problem, it is the players.

The same system got us results against some of the best teams, the difference is in performance and effort from the players.

Lots of managers post Fergie were able to get results against big teams. Didn't save them one bit when we drop points to Brighton regularly, Crystal Palace, etc.

Disgusting club and players

Blame Woodward & co who left us in this financial whole by giving out million dollar contracts for average players.

Disgusted how bad this has become.

Red Rash said:
Agreed with the first part but not sure what Amorim can do. He could play Amad at RWB but he is our most dangerous attacker so it makes sense to use him as one of the AMs.

We could try Antony there but most fans think he is a terrible player. We don't have any players who can play LWB.

Unless we back Amorim with 3-4 new players his hands are pretty tied with team selection. Couple that with the fact we only have a handful of players who are good enough for a top 6 team.

Amad is better as an advanced wing back where he offers a genuine outlet at right wing back, Amorim is not the second coming, he needed do his apprenticeship at West Ham in the EPL he’s not going to win any trophies with this squad and he’ll be lucky to finish 15th this season!

He loses games far too Easily in the PL we’ve had enough of a look now 15 Games 5 wins 3 draws 7 defeats no goals being scored, he’s under huge pressure now, especially with a very impatient SJR.

He’s got a 33% win rate overall, and 27% in the EPL, I’d give him 5 games in the EPL and tell him he needs a minimum of 9/10 points from those games or we find a 433 coach!

It’s a shame but you can’t have 25-35% win Rate at man united and keep your job. It’s simply untenable.

Why would that make a difference?? Doesn't matter who owns the club, the situation is a result of Glazer mismanagement.

antohan · Sunday at 16:01

In fairness, getting a better keeper than Onana wouldn't cost much at all. Most teams have better 2nd keepers, we even had a better 3rd keeper in Sergio Romero. Only need them not to treat the ball like a hot potato.

Finishing around 8th… :lol:

I fear that Amorim is going to be the worst manager we have had yet.

They weren’t truly terrible though were they? They played some great football and look half decent under the new manager. They’re currently giving Forest a good game, and they are third in table.

If you want to make excuses for a team with 6 points this season, fine. I'm not even entertaining that. They are statistically one of the worst teams to ever play in the Premier League

bosskeano · Sunday at 16:02

We give up some of the worst goals possible its almost comical

As shit as the players have been, this is another one on Onana

Can't disagree with you but the GK will always be in the spotlight if we're not scoring goals

For this lot, its going to be a herculean yask to get that. We get outplayed by every single team. No matter how bad.

We'll probably get them against City, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Chelsea.

Wing Attack Plan R · Sunday at 16:02

“I need 11 new players before my system will bear any fruit” seems a bit reckless, as a policy.

No, you're hoping for that so you can tell people you told them so.

Exactly. He has taken us backwards from an already dismal position as it stands. Takes some doing.

Ceteris · Sunday at 16:02

Back to the what we still need thread I guess.

If we don't buy in January it will be criminal negligence on these owners.

They knew the man's setup, fecking get him his players

Red00012 · Sunday at 16:02

Need to stop pissing away my money on this lot

Flying high · Sunday at 16:02

Not good enough.

Ref did his job though. He'll be getting his bonus this week.

VivaRonaldo85 · Sunday at 16:02

No shots on target at home from open play. Thats the sort of stat that will eventually get you relegated if you don’t act. By act I mean urgent signings

He is if you put it back to back.

It's one thing having a flat tire, but replacing him with no tire is exactly not a solution.

We'd be better served with De Gea, it's not like we'll be pushing for titles anyway. Onana is just 2x worse. We cant afford to lose goals cheaply, we have problems without it as it is

It's mind boggling that folks can't seem to understand that there are more goalkeepers out there than DDG and Onana. The former absolutely had to go, he had become a liability and even with his lesser contract would have been the best paid goalkeeper around.

Devil77 · Sunday at 16:02

The first games under Amorim looked really promising in terms of style, possession and controlling the game. What happened after that, I don’t know. We look inferior to every other team.
