Very disjointed performance, we just cannot resist a half decent press at all. We get pushed into a corner then clip it long and lose the ball. Can see what he wants to do today which is a positive bit as others have said our squad is not good enough.

Disappointed with Garnacho today, he tried his best but playing in the middle looks wrong for him. You just don't get time in there and there were a few occasions he lost it when a good pass was on.

Zirkzee looked poor when he came on as well, really not sure he has what it takes.

Agree, this could be an uphill battle with these players.

No pace at the back, no legs in midfield, lack of ball retention, second to every ball and a forward line that cant hold the ball up.

Im not sure if it matters which formation we play, this team is going to struggle with it.

I really did think we would see a bit of a bounce, but no. I bet Ten Hag is sitting at home in Holland thinking "see, it wasn't me, its this team". Although he did have 2.5 years to get them fitter and he did sign over half of them!

I thought Bruno made some amazing 'key passes' as the stats call them. I think he can really shine under the system once its gets going. Eriksen and Casemiro was always going to be problem but it feels like he had to do it. I hope Mainoo and Ugartre can get a run together soon.

Do you think he opted to start with the "senior players" to at least give them first shot? Or just picked that team as most were not playing internationals?

I don't care who plays (from what we have available), what formation we have or who is the manager. We as Manchester United should be beating Ipswich town. The players are cowards. Safety first always. They don't belong here.

The lack of desire from the United squad was telling. Ipswich played us out of the park and probably should have won that match hadn't it been for Onana.

Amorim isn't going to get a tune out of the squad unless he's got some midfielders back. Mainoo's injury and the non availability of Ugarte for the first half meant that he's had to start with Eriksen and Casemiro (two guys who's legs are done).

Thats an indictment on the previous regime and nothing that's to do with Amorim.

He's identified the issues. Let's hope he can fix them well enough in this season so that we can go into the next season with the ready replacements.

Seems like he had to start with players that were around and fully fit to me. You know he likes Ugarte, but did nit start him. That idiot Le Seaux who does the USA broadcast did not seem to understand his Uruguay travels.

So true, especially Rashford who did not win a ball sent up to him. He has no fight or desire, it's strange, and I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. If Hojund played more it would have helped even if he's not in good form. He at least works and fights.

I think it'll take a while to tune and get the right combination of players on the pitch. The international break probably didn't help. The midfield, evans and Rashford up front made us look pretty pedestrian. New manager hasn't instantly changed the players and made them world beaters overnight which is no surprise.
It'll be a thin line between us climbing up the table and competing for europe and dropping points against anyone and everyone and finishing midtable. We dont have the quality to carry players.

Very true. Which is why he wont last under Amorim.

Amorim has Gyokeres and before him Paulinho. Both 6ft 2 and able to hold the ball up and bring the 10s into play.

Rashford's hold up play is non existent and we know he doesn't have the brain or touch to play as one of the 10s. First opportunity to sell and Amorim will have him gone.

Agree. I think he played at least 5 players he wouldnt play in the current best United XI.

I think the XI we finished with, plus Mainoo instead of Zirksee would be closer to the team he wants in the soft term.

To everyone that voted to sack Ten Hag..

Allow me to introduce the players who will eventually get Amorim the sack too

Ten Hag deserved to be sacked because he signed most of those players. Amorin needs two summer transfers to turn this around but if he's unable to do that then he will go the same way as ETH.

If under Amorim, we sign the duds ETH did, he will definitely get the sack. I don’t think anyone can’t turn these turds into gold - he’ll need to overhaul the team but he has to make sure he gets quality players in.

 

[nangis]

I'm surprised nowadays there's still a football coach believe Rashford can play ST or CF. I'm even more surprised Rashford scored a goal last night at that position.

 

[Freak]

It was a strange game - we looked good in the early 15 minutes maybe, then Ipswich took over. But our second half performance had some positives where we started taking control but were still pretty shit at creating chances.

We seem to be really good only when Bruno or Amad are on the ball. Having said that Amad needed to drive more at his opposing fullback. He did well for the goal and toward the end but other than that he kept playing safe balls.

It will take some time but I’m positive Amorim would deliver.
