No, he didnt. He did not lost or "all over the place" at all. Just like how Ugarte wasn't very good when he came on.
By judging some of the comments on here, it will probably be soon
I don't really care if you agree with me or not to be honest mate.
Well said
I was talking more about this season anyways. And ofcourse I agree ETH had way more time but my concern is I expected us to be better than what we shown today even with a new system. As we were playing a newly promoted relegation threatened team.
Thats fine, we can move on. Just don't say childish things like "watch the game next time", right after I said I did.
Let it go bud. Don't start getting personal
At least he’s seen for himself now the very real issues this squad of players has. He has a big job on his hands. I’d expect to see improvement in our playing style by the end of the season to take into next season after a full pre season.
We have question marks over all areas: Technique, passing, physicality, stamina, 50/50’s, shooting, decision making and generally just having a pretty dumb set of players.
I really hope he’s the one to turn us around but it’s so embedded I don’t have much hope.

He might indeed improve as a wing back but I can't help but be slightly concerned he might really not enjoy it that much...
Great news if this happens. The easiest way to quickly overwhelm a new manager in a new league is to drown them in never ending media scrutiny.
Unsure what element of my reply was personal to you but alrightLet it go bud. Don't start getting personal
Just hire Mike Phelan back to do the post match interviews like when Ferguson fell out with BBC
Calling me childish.
Could see in the last few minutes him urging the team to go forward, all the while they were passing around defence. Ten Hag’s horrendous ‘tactics’ really got a lot to answer for.
He will probably take a few games to realise that he can't get away with some of the things he did in the Portuguese league.
I noticed the same ‘smaller league tax’ with Ten Hag (Playing Erikson as a false nine v Brighton and then the Brentford 0-4) and Van Gaal (the Leicester 3:5 loss) before they adapted and had some relative success in their first seasons.
After a few games, I doubt Amorim will play Amad as WB, Evans as LCB, and Erikson and Casemiro as the 2 CMs.

That Kelly Cates is so irritating. Loved it when Fergie shut her up back in the day. Always tries her best to take a swipe at Utd.
It’s such an advantage being able to see for the rest of this season who suits what he wants to do, learn about the character of players etc. However at times it’s going to hurt because a lot of these players aren’t up to it.
I hope he has the guts and resolve to persist and not resort to the same dross out other managers have served up after some pressure and bad results.
I expected bit of a slow start as he’s only had few days to work with players, lots were away on international duty or are returning from injury.

I think once the back 3 and the midfield 2 are settled in their roles Amad pressed high up on the pitch will be lethal
Well he won’t play Evans as he’ll have Martinez and/or Yoro in the side.
He won’t play Casemiro and Eriksen as Ugarte and/or Mainoo will be match fit (or Mount).
He’s done much of what he’s done today based on who was available and has had time on the grass with him. The actual set up won’t change.
I don't think that is what happened at all.
He picked the players that were fit. Mainoo/Ugarte/Mount were all left on the bench as they were either returning to fitness or came back late from internationals and didn't want to risk them.
Casemiro and Eriksen obviously wouldn't be his first-choice pairing.
I really like him and can accept the remainder of this season being the time for learning on the job, with a mixture of results along the way no doubt. The real judgement will then be next season after he’s had time to implement his style and hopefully bring some players he wants to play his system. I’m just delighted we now have a leader with charisma, adopts a clear playing style & formation and heading into the peak of his coaching career all being well.
In them shorts.Just hire Mike Phelan back to do the post match interviews like when Ferguson fell out with BBC
Good & I fully back this, he's not here to be a celebrity, he's here to coach Manchester Utd. I can't see the media taking it well though so I imagine we'll start to see some stories getting circulated about his character in the near future.
While there’s no guarantee he’s going to be successful, I think he has a better chance of being successful than his predecessors, as he has Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox supporting him. Before that, it was basically the manager has business-orientated Woodward or Arnold and the passive Glazer family, who just threw money at the problems hoping they’d go away.
When and if everyone is fit. This would probably be the best team.
Onana
Yoro... De Ligt....Martinez
Maz.....Urgate...Mainoo....Shaw
Amas....Bruno
Hojund
Maybe Mount comes in if he ever gets to full fitness as Wing back or front 3
What's definite is, more signings are definitely needed.

This is the right move to make. This upcoming week he's going to be doing pre and post press conferences Thursday and Sunday, along with sit downs for Sky Sports etc before the Everton game, that's hours away from the training pitch.
It already has.
His face
Garnacho isn’t as diligent defensively, which is probably a factor. Like he said though, he’s learning about the players himself. This is probably a million miles away from how it’ll look in a few months time, let alone a year or two.
His face
I think when you allow Ed Sheeran to crash a post match interview its a circus.
It's similar to Salt Bae at the World Cup final trying to pose with the trophy.
Coaching staff are the only ones that should be allowed on the field post match.
Yeah it was quite unprofessional from Sky.
If Garnacho played wing back we will concede so many goals. He barely has the discipline to play offense and track back. He cannot be trusted with a wing back role. That would be a stupid decision from Ruben.
Very similar rodent-like face.Well you know who her dad is right?
I think he learned a huge amount today about this team. And all his coaches seemed to be deep in thought.
I think we did keep the ball better, and that was one of his goals. Biggest issue is the speed in which we move the ball into the final third. By the time we have passed it side to side, the opposition have already got 11 men behind the ball. You can’t score goals like that.
I think he was pretty disappointed in Erikson and Casemiro not laying a glove on anyone in midfield. This improved when Ugarte came on. And thank god for Mazraoui. Someone who seems to put in an 8 out of 10 every game. The amount of times he won the ball back, when everyone else was ducking out of tackles.
From today’s subs, I think he will hook players and try and give the others a go when it isn’t working. This is what proper coaches do. They don’t have favourites. Or keep trying something that isn’t working, they will adapt and try something else.
Looking at his demeanour during the game, he did look rather pissed off. I think he will give some of those players some feedback.

Sounded fed up already
He is probably just angry that the players stopped doing what he told them to do and just reverted to Ten Hag ball with silly long balls and aimless passing.
He wont be happy about tbe complete lack of urgency the players showed in stoppage time when we needed a goal, it was like the players gave up and just resorted to playing short pointless passes between each other.
I think even they were caught by surprise. Jamie Redknapp basically told him in the nicest way possible to feck off for a minute.
