Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

One game in, and I already think we should play a system that fits our players. Amorim please prove me wrong.

This guy was defending Eth even though he was shit and now critical about new manager after first game. :lol:
 
It's quite shameless honestly.

He couldn't even wait a month.
And wants the new manager to repeat the same fecking mistakes again. Just like clockwork. These dogshit players need to be binned. The only system that fits these players is hoofball and that’s championship level football.

There are some people who are fans of managers, like that Poch fan Amadeus, and some who are actually fans of the club.
 
He going to be like arteta,he'll come in,get his system in place,give a chance to the so called fans favs or world class players like arteta did with ozil and auba,he will give them enough rope knowing very well they aren't suited or behind his system or tactics, then come summer, bye bye rashford and whoever else. I for one liked the first game,could see system and shape etc. Next six months will be fun. Definitely better than no identity and losing. At least if we are losing now we seem to have a system of play. Hope we aim to win Europa though. We should be in the mix.

It’s probably part of that. ETH’s biggest supporters are at least subconsciously hoping that they will be vindicated by the next manager doing worse (or ETH winning big at Real/Bayern/Barcelona/City who are bound to employ him next).

What a terrible life to live. They are so narcissistic that they would do anything to prove they were right, even if it is to watch the house burn. Same story after every failed manager. We've become a club of cults.

I do admit I can see myself becoming an Amorim fanboy. There’s something about him that just seems right.

100% This. A few will definitely be binned in summer. Im sure Ineos will back him on a few controversial outs, he's their man after all.
 
Keeping ETH over the summer and giving him 200M looks more and more bad every passing day.

Spineless decision.
 
Oh yeah my post wasn't a dig at Bruno, moreso pointing to there being a more effective way of playing in transition or on the break that we just haven't seen at United much. Mainly because we've lacked good ball carriers for YEARS, especially in midfield. Pogba and McTominay (and now Mainoo)are basically the only two that come to mind from the last decade or so, and the latter was such a horrid passer that his carries rarely made much of an impact.

Agree, I think when you play against a 1 v 1 defensive set up, which Ipswich did, you need ball carriers in midfield to disrupt that. Eriksen and Casemiro struggled to beat the press.

I can see Mainoo doing well against teams that press well.

However; I think that was a good start in terms of Amorim getting to see our weak players. He has now seen how poor some of them are. Erksen should not be starting at this level for us, he just cannot run. Casemiro, although he has been good, he cannot run either.

I saw a stat somewhere.. it was the 2nd least distance covered by us this season. As the managers first game, that is really bad imo, normally you would have players ready to run but this was not the case.
 
Sporting fan here. It will be interesting to see what Ruben Amorim can do this season on United.

My honest opinion is that he Will do just as bad if not worse than TH. This doesnt seem a tactical issue. Some of those player look genuinely garbage technically and physically, or lack worth ethics, or both. There is no coach that can fixes that. Squad needs a revamp. That Will probably take time. And more than a season too. Amorim has proven to be a solid coach (just like ETH has) but he definitely doesn't do miracles - he ended in a 4th position in The Portuguese league when his squad was gutted.

Think people Will get a reality check really fast , but good luck. I'm hoping I'm wrong , honestly, and you get your glory days back. Just dont see that happening regardless of coach
Dude.. :(

You can already see the vicious cycle starting again.

We're going to have to spend another 600m over 3 summers to see if we can even play his system properly. The rumours of us raiding sporting for players has started already.

Then the pressure on him will be too much and he will get sacked. Rinse and repeat.

Welcome to Manchester United - the breaker of managers and players alike.

I think he will duck into the academy in 1-2 positions and get 1-2 players in January and will be fine after that.

As long as INEOS is fine with some under performing big names not even making the bench. That's the key point.

I'm 99% sure this isn't happening.

Close the club.
 
Everyone knows it's a big job, so absolutely give him bags of time. If the players would instantly start pressing perfectly and playing incredibly then what work would he need to do? In North American sports there's often an understanding of what a rebuild takes. They'll tank teams to get good draft picks, build a team around them, and it's a multi-year cycle. But even then there's teams that try to avoid this, and pick up aging free agents, and they hover around not being bad enough to get the quality draft pics, and never being good enough to win championships. I'm happy to reset United with Amorim, bring in kids who'll run and play the system. While Radcliffe and co work on the team structure. I'm pretty optimistic about the long term future right now!

btw I have a new chant, what do you think? Sung to the tune of 'Amore' (when the moon hits your eye like the big pizzapie)


"When the ball hits the goal and the scouse on the dole, that's Amorim
When there's three at the back and United ATTACK, that's Amorim"
 
No one will ever convince me that decision made sense. I'm yet to see an argument even remotely good. Still its been done to death thousands of times.

Its because you were not ready to listen to any rationale behind it.

Ignoring the facts.
 
Certain posters on this site deserve the shite we have been served the last 10 years, imagine hiring a young up and coming manager who has thrived with a certain style and then after 2 training sessions and 1 game people are saying he should abandon the style that got him hired for a style that suits the players that have served up a 8th and currently 12th place finish in the league. HE doesn't need to adapt to anyone, THEY need to adapt to him.

Spot on. In my view, I see it as if they cant fit in.. get rid. Players will try adapt to fit in and still may not be good enough.

Its about times some of the players are gone.

This is the 3rd full time manager that has come in and said.. we need to be fitter, more physical.

Ole came in and complained stating his team will be fittest in the league.. Ten Hag complained about fitness and after 2 games made them do extra running.
Amorim is complaining about the same.

What's worse is that we covered the 2nd least ground as a team against Ipswich this season... that is very damming on the players that started.

Gee thanks this is a real groundbreaker of a post.

I wonder what you were saying when you were saying about Sporting pre Amorim? Considering that Sporting were in a worse place with all the protests, negativity and toxicity...

It also seems like Sporting's glory days are over too.. losing 5-1 to Arsenal is the start of it.
 
The amount of negativity in here is horrifying after 1 game, in which we didn’t lose, clearly attempted something new, after a couple of training sessions with some of our squad.

Some of you need to go outside. Or rub one out. Or read some news about the world outside football. Whatever can help you relax and gain some perspective.

How dare you come in here with a calm, rational, logical explanation and thinking about Amorims first match?? There's only room for full blown panic and overreacting in here.
 
I have a lot of patience when a manager is implementing his proven style of play, and the players are clearly the problem.

He will have my full support if he is ruthless and drops players that are not suited and/or are lazy.
 
I'm also 100% behind the manager the whole way. Even though i didn't like ETH in the and and think he wasnt the right guy I was also behind him as clearly some players are the biggets issue here. Sadly it will take time to get rid of them as it's at least 6-9 players that need to go/be replaced.
