I think you wife might be right. Most negative comments should be kept behind closed doors. What he's said is probably true, but not helpful to say in public. Especially with a bunch of players that are as mentally fragile as ours.
Yeh I think it could just as well well be a call out to the owners, that money will need to be spent.
Ole never lost 4 in a row
English media does not need any reasons to talk about us, mate. Talking about United sells the best, so media will always talk about us, no matter what.
Agreed, I am sure Ragnick would have spent 600M in far better way and we could have a better team by this time.
And was, judging by RA's time here so far, a wildly better performing manager
I started supporting united in 1977. This is the worst team i can remember and not just this season. The past few seasons have been embarassing. 5-0 to liverpool at Old Trafford, 7-0 at anfield, 6-3 at Etihad. Even in the 80s, United teams played with a bit of a swagger even if they werent very good.
No. He's telling the truth.
If this was a Pep quote, we'd all go in circles about how he's cracking up
I was 7, but to quote my late father, we were “flash Harries who could beat anyone on the day but mostly left our best performance in the pub the night before”. I don’t know if that’s true but I do remember the lousy couple of years when SAF took over and absolutely think we should keep the faith and stick by our manager now.
Yes, all this talk of systems is doing my head in. These players struggled to keep hold the ball under numerous systems. Onana had a nightmare today and gifted them two goals, that knocks the stuffing out of your defence, because you stop trusting him. He hasn't got a striker, that is not his fault, that is the people running the club, who are more bothered about sell on value than getting results on the pitch, when you need the latter to gain the first.
Rule 1 in press conferences is don't be stupidly transparent.
Rightly or wrongly, it will inevitably happen if we don't improve
I have no problem with Amorim's dealings with the press. I've found him really engaging to listen to.
This, let's find some young lads that are dying to prove themselves and play their hearts out. It' can't be worse than this.
I don't think they will do worse tbh
No, couldn't have said it better.
The fanbase mostly don't support the players, but getting rid of them is extremely difficult. They earn way too much and clubs that they should be playing for can't afford them. This is definitely the worst we've been in our PL history. I honestly did not think that we could get any worse since 21/22, but we've had 2 seasons since then that have been even worse.
The problem is, the squad ragnick was talking about was rotten and was cleared out. But we somehow replaced them with more deadwood.
Lingard, Matic, Wan Bissaka, De Gea, Telles, Pogba, Cavani, Mata, Andreas Pereira, Jones, Fred, Bailly, McTominay…they’re all gone. And we got worse
He's not a fan on a podcast. He's the manager.
I think my issue with a massive rebuild is that if we sign 10 players between now and the summer, can you trust that more than five of them will be a success?
He is, a manager who is dealing with pure dross who don't deserve better words.
If they have anything about em, they will use it as motivation and make the manager eat his words. But history shows that they'll continue being shit, because its their level.
I mean he’s just being honest. It’s not really a meltdown or anything, and quite frankly it’s refreshing considering the last guy acted offended if you suggested the team wasn’t good
Yeah that's not happening in any real world office. If my manager calls me out publicly, I'm quiet quitting
