Maybe that is a bit of ETH attitude still in them. We fought for a good point at a hard place to get anything. When we should be going for a win.

I agree. ETH would be thrilled with a point here.

He’s been here what five days? Come on mate bloody hell.

Exactly and didn't have majority of his players available to coach his system to.

Also if you know a tiny little fraction about cardio improvement, five days is absolute jack shit!

[Moriarty]

It has been reported by Portugal's media that he expects running and hard work and can be ruthless if he doesn't get that, so we will need to wait and see if that is true.

He saw plenty of that today, only it was Ipswich doing it. More than a few of our players just aren't capable of sustaining that sort of play.

 

[NZT-One]

Stay up their ass. They destroyed the team but are still able to use it as their personal ATM (they own it, it's their right but I don't have to like it). New managers. New players. This cycle will never end until they're gone.

What a new and insightful take. Tell us more, we have never heard those things

We were outfought and outplayed by a team of unknown scrubs who were organized, focused and motivated.

Nothing new then. Intensity is an issue in this team since ages. Hopefully the new manager will instill it into those players, I remain skeptical though. Fanbase will forget it also pretty quickly, looking on those team sheets in the summer with the mentions of "world class when fit Shaw" and "Rashford who has to get his act together". Shortly followed by "Eriksen and Casemiro might be our best midfield".

It’s going to take months before I expect to see a real improvement.

And dozens of players have come and gone as well as half a dozen managers. The only thing that hasn't changed are our malignant, corrupt owners who will continue to use us as an ATM until they start losing money. Bring it if it ushers in change.

I tend to agree. Far too passive. But make no mistake about the well coached side in blue

 

[Get In Scholesy]

I was surprised he didn't start him and he is actually used to this system. So maybe that is the point. He needs to see who fits and who doesn't.

Fair enough. I mentioned in the post game thread that I hope it doesn’t take long for the coaching staff to snuff out those players who won’t be able to implement our play style.

I feel as if he picked the more experienced side today, as well as those he is most familiar with - and to be honest, it’s a logical approach which I cannot fault. I hope to see it change very quickly though.

 

[SirScholes]

why are they on the bench then? What a bizarre take.

Because they were not deemed fit to do more than 30 minutes , imagine that, almost unheard of!

 

[daveskimufc]

Back 3 were ok. Rest didn't really do much, seemed a bit lost, I'm sure it'll come
Amad was good, Onana motm for me

You know what also hasn't changed? Fans who feel the need to add more complexity into the question of why we are underperforming as a team. Suprise suprise, its not on the owners. Even if they are as bad as it gets in comparison to other clubs of our size, they have provided enough money to have us competitive. They hired the wrong guys to spend it, but lets face it, most of those transfers were applauded by the majority on here so lets not act that every single transfer was a failure from the beginning.

We can moan about the Glazers over and over. But the results on the pitch are the results of years of bad decision in the sports department. If that is rectified, we will go back to be successful, no matter who the owners are.

Fair enough. I’m 25 but I’m definitely not a big fan of him. I mostly prefer to listen to music from before I was born, especially from 1964-1997.

I'm 69 and remember all that stuff. My album collection is pretty voluminous and, I'm told, worth a few bob so the younger family members are circling like sharks waiting for me to pop my clogs. My kid sister was into glam back in the day and actually met the infamous Gary Glitter and came away virgo intacta. Her mate was related to one of the Glitter Band so I suppose that helped.

But the players have been here longer - unfortunately our youngsters are still too young. But if he is ever going to be successful - he needs to be given time to get a few of those into the side. I have zero faith in the majority of our players in the first-team

 

[Hughie77]

You think so? We had more possession, but we created absolutely feck all and showed no urgency.

It was better than the first half . Didn't say anything else still not good enough yet . But hey ho let's see in around 10 games time if this lot can change

I share the same opinion. Perennial bottlers wont suddenly turn into world beaters. I am only going to keep faith in youngsters and the new recruits.

 

[mitchmouse]

The eleven that finished the match was much better than the one that started, especially against a high institutional) intensity side like Ipswich. I get why amorim wanted to play the guys with more training minutes but Evans, casemiro, eriksen in the same side can't really work in 2024.

Rashford looks so unbelievably washed. Those runs in the channels hojlund made should have been available all game.

It's amazing amazing how many people don't see the runs Rasmus makes... as I keep saying: how is the guy meant to score if no one creates chances. I remember the same "blindness" for years with Michael Carrick. By comparison, Rashford looks as if he wants to be either a pundit of with his feet up on some private island
