I am not criticising the manager. This situation had been going on way before amorim. We bring in a manager who plays and believes into a certain way of football only for him to make a 180 once he's here. It's baffling really
It doesn't have to be that way though.The manager 's job is to manage the team, to get the best out of them.
Amazing how often someone has to point that out.
remaining days are for recovery i guess
I support Darlington in the National League North who are part-time and even they have 2 sessions a week
The first thing is repetition, that is how they will learn the new system and unlearn what they have been doing under ETH, repetition takes time, the whole squad has not had time to train together for more than a couple of sessions.
Team and individual trainings for two days after the match. Then match specific tactical training for two days before the match. I guess.
A fellow Darlingtonian?? Nice!I support Darlington in the National League North who are part-time and even they have 2 sessions a week
Do you never bore yourself?
I think it's contractual. It's probably the worst part of their job. They would rather deal with football matters rather than be ultra careful of their words knowing that the media is trying to stitch you up, especially at United.
Season is not a write-off still but I think it makes sense to not delay introduction of the new system. It is what he has immediate expertise in , and he can assess the squad and what will be needed for the summer (or January although low chance)
I don't accept they're bad.
Things don't change overnight. Of course it is the right idea. You're a good enough team that you won't get relegated despite the silliness on here at times so you don't need to do what teams at the bottom do and try to do the basics just to survive. You're able to take a risk, like he says and start implementing his plan and style immediately. There's no reason why you should stall that because, again, like he says, you'll just end up with the same problems and situation next season.
Nah. Good man managers give their players a chance. Even with availability, I thought it was striking that he played most of the senior players in the first half. I think he wanted a win, but also had other things he needed to achieve.
Sounds like you’re massively overrating the standard of international football honestly. As I said they’re not all bad, that much is obvious. Defending Lindelof by saying he’s captain for Sweden is just nothing really. It’s Sweden? No offense to them. As you literally say he’s 5th choice for us, doesn’t that show the level?
Not just any loss, the 5-2 against Leicester with a great AdM goal
Portugal is not some world cup winning team , I don't see how Dalot starting for them makes him a good player. And it's international football at the first place. From what we've seen in the PL(which is what counts)time after time, he's a very limited player. Zirkzee, Hojlund are just toothless , no threat comes from them whatsoever. Case and Eriksen are past it physically as a regular starters. Rashford is done mentally and physically with this football thing. Amad and Garnacho are the only exciting players that could progress into world class (apart from Mainoo who you mentioned). Ugarte might come good but it's still early days.
In a 4-2-3-1 its often the #10 who acts as the 3rd midfielder. 4-4-2 going out of fashion had a lot to do with 2v3 man midfields.
Perfect, thank you.
They're both intense training... probably why. Add more and you're risking them getting knackered. Remember most of them have struggled with stamina under Ten hag.
Are you referring to ETH?
His face
Where did you get that idea from?
