At least we see some ideas. Not sure if he made right choice with the personnel vs roles, but the way Eriksen, Casemiro and Evans played today - I don't think there's a formation that would've worked anyway.
Amen
Refreshing to see changes being made which addresses what everyone can see is causing issues - and fairly early changes as well. Welcome to the premier league Ruben.
No, but maybe 7-9th best?
Hope he realises how unsuited much of this team are to playing football a top team should.
He has mad wrong choices in attack, he needs to start Amad instead of Garnacho. Garnacho is a moments player at the moment
Hojlund never takes responsibility. Seems to think his roal is to facilitate or support others which is not enough at a big club.
Nothing will make Rashford press, nothing will give Case or Eriksen legs, nothing will teach Bruno how to keep the ball. Doesn’t matter what we do or who the coach is. Many of these players should not be starting games for us.
Agree.
While we all want to see a transformation and we should hopefully see an identity this season, people also have to accept the limitations and lack of quality of this squad. As does Amorim, if he wants to succeed.
Good luck with that untapped potential
It is the players, it has obvious for a long time.
Maz is too good a player to be playing as a 3rd CB. He should be a wing back in this system.
Poor bastard's transplanted hair follicles will get a serious workout over the next 6-12 months.
Sack some of the players next. Like half of them.
He'll be fully grey by the end of the season
he’ll be bald before next Christmas
And Amad too good to be a WB.
A lot of work for him
He played our best attacking player at wing back, honestly baffling.
Full backs need to ATTACK and not turn back.
That's where I think United need to get top class in the summer.

Rashford is going to outlast Amorim too isn't he? Good for him.
Might have a better idea of the job he has on now.
Sure he will be when Yoro and Martinez are fit
We did, for the first 2mins.
Can't fault him for anything really. The shape looks fine, and he made the right subs, but some players aren't good enough.
Like all our previous managers, he will fail if we don't get the player recruitment right.
Nearly every transfer window this past decade was praised at the time, but you can count on one hand the amount of players we've brought in during that period who were press resistant. We have a blind spot when it comes to these players.
If we continue to fail at identifying these players, there's no hope for any manager.

I'll take erratic over coasting along everyday.
That's the point in the system, full backs the attack and stretch the opposition defence.
If he went with 4231 we win the game. 343 isnt going to work in the PL
Way too early yet
He looks distraught
Look of a man who realises he’s got a squad of shite

We’ve managed to wipe the smile of his face in 90 minutes.
It took one match to make him stop smiling.
Needs to be ruthless with moving on players that don't fit his system. I can't imagine he wants a midfield of case and eriksen. Or Rashford who is scared of any hard work.
Amorim "the players are all internationals" happy face
Amorim "how are any these internationals" sad face
Amorim "how are any these internationals" sad face
I'm going to assume you're not stupid and this isn't a serious post.
This should give him an idea of what he's got to work with here. If there was any doubt in his mind that some of the current roster aren't suitable for his style and intensity, this should've been a bit of a wakeup call.
