Sheeran is a dick nevertheless.
2 bad games to start before going on a enormous unbeaten run at home I believe…as crazy as it sounds I seem to remember EtH having a run of nearly 25-30 games or something unbeaten at Old Trafford.
Super Richard Kone!
Yeah it happened once (to us). But generally I don't care about narrow wins and the occasional big loss. Other factors, like the run being sustainable or playing at a strong level matters more. Remember that Fergie run with like ten 1-0s when VdS broke the record?
Ye, I’d take 1-0s ever week. 3pts is all that matters at the end of the day. The trouble with 1-0s though is if you switch of near the end of the match it soon becomes 1-1. I can’t settle during games unless we’re 2 up and it’s after 70 minutes. We always concede late corners when we’re only a goal up and it’s very nervous to watch.
What I like about him is that he doesn’t seem to be the kind of smart arse we’ve hired before. Says all the right things, is charismatic, seems to have the players inside already, and as long as he’s smart about it and does his job properly he’ll keep them onside, which is more than half the battle. Easy and lazy comparison to make but he reminds me of a young Jose, which was the best version of Jose.
I think one difference is our manager bounce before Amorim didnt come with a complete revamp in playstyle to be a more modern one. So far we are moving forward in the terms of that, even if you dont count the results.
heh
Didnt we miss out on top 4 once because of GD too?
I mean they are both working their way back to fitness. I would have liked Amad and Rashford to be rested but they didn’t really play mid week game. It was a short run out.
That's damning.
Exactly. For too long we’ve been blinded by results over performances. I loved what he said after we drew vs Ipswich. He could have played a different way, maybe won, but next year United will still have the same issues.
Top teams do that. They press and make sure other teams make mistakes. Very important we continue to press high.
For twenty something years we were favored in all but maybe 4-5 games every season. I understand people have unrealistic expectations but that was a reality united fans were lucky enough to experience for decades. Your last point is also true. The caf during that time would argue over minor things, complain after winning titles etc. It's just what happens to a fanbase so spoiled on success.
While I agree with you, I do think there's a difference already. The 3rd goal against Bodo and the 2nd Rashford goal today, simple but we rarely scored those type under ETH. I think those goals point to a better approach to feeding the striker.
Came here to say the same thing. We actually weren’t very good in our overall play despite the score line and it was great to listen to a manager actually acknowledge that.
Good grief. That's horrendous.
I agree. There seems more organisation, with players seeming to know where the other will be. Fleeting moments, but certainly more so from the right side.
This is quite a big change to be fair. It shows that we’re trying to keep possession a lot more rather than waste it. Same with Onana doing less long balls like he used to do. The long ball he did do against Everton actually found one of our players.
Its called forcing errors. Its why klopps liverpool press like possessed mad hounds up top for 90 mins.
