  1. Manchester United vs Fulham

    They can't even press anymore, just jogging around. Are they that unfit or just not bothered to try?

  2. Manchester United vs Fulham

    I thought we started well to be fair. Hojlund just offers nothing right now and Zirkzee isn't much better.

  3. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    The "mess" worked well enough today. We would've cruised to victory if our players hadn't made silly unforced errors.

  4. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    I just don't think being hyperbolic about everything is very constructive. You're free to think the formation is a mess and I get that some people prefer a 442 or whatever but that is just your opinion.

  5. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Just say what you actually mean, no need for neon lights or being dramatic about it. We need to win more games, I agree. Pep regularly played with 5 defenders and we have played Antony and Amad at right wing back so I don't know what you're talking about.

  6. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    If you meant he was going into advanced positions sometimes then just say that. You'd probably complain if pep was our manager that the formation is a mess.

  7. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    He wasn't playing left wing in the first half either.

  8. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Yoro is not playing left wing, idk what you're watching but if that's your understanding of the formation I can see why you think it's a mess.

  9. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    you can think the team selection and shape is wrong, which is debatable, but is that the reason we conceded those goals and are a man down?

  10. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Yeah I think that was a poor sub as well but it's hardly the reason why we're 2-2 with a man sent off is it.

  11. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    People are blaming Amorim for this? He must be fuming, the players are throwing this game away.

  12. VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

    I can't believe pundits are even suggesting that should be a foul. You'd have to give at least 5 or 6 pens a game if that's the standard.

  13. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Can't see whatever you've linked there. We do play in a flat back five at times for sure, if that's what you're getting at. It's just not how we're always set up and I doubt it's what the manager wants.

  14. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    It's pretty clear to me that Maz was supposed to jump into midfield in this scenario. It happened many times during the game. He's marking nobody and Spence(?) is unmarked in midfield. If he had done so we'd have been in a pretty solid 4231 shape.

  15. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

    Oh yeah we played poorly for sure. I disagree that we played with a flat back 5 though. You can look at the average positions and its much more of a back three. Also, there were plenty of times where Mazraoui stepped into midfield to form a 4231 shape when Bruno pressed high. The formation is...
