I like this take. Besides it’s been proven to work: More optimistic people experience fewer and smaller disappointments.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

Godo performance would be creating quality chances, stringing together good passages of play, and denying the opposition the same mostly.
If we go and miss 3 sitters and lose 1-0 on a scrappy set piece that's still a "good performance", just like us winning 1-0 on a smash and grab while getting battered in our own half isn't a good performance but a good result.
How do I Lodge a complaint?

Is there any other coach in football who is that candid ? I don't follow many leagues outside the PL.
Very fair and very honest.. Some of the fans are getting too excited too soon and understandably so after what we've been put through the last few years, but we need to remember this guy has only just started, and in the busiest time of the season, with very few training sessions and he's completely transforming the way we play, and the system we play, so he needs time and possibly a couple of players before we can see his full impact. How refreshing to see a coach speak so openly and clearly and keeping us fans in the loop on where the team is and what we should be expecting
Love the cheeky grin when he says Manchester United is a little bit different
Ralf Ragnick?
Maybe but he didn’t have the swagger or the charisma that Ruben has.
Good call , had totally suppressed that memory.
So nice to hear him say. Essentially that he's working with a lot of mismatching parts that don't fit (which is obvious to anyone that pays attention to our club), and we will get pumped sooner or later by a good side due to both this and the learning curve of getting used to a new system
You take an oath to waive your rites to a certain degree.
Not a chance.
Jose Mourinho? But Mourinho is more negative in his execution when he says these things.
Good shout, he's like the modest version of a young Jose
Got the charm and charisma out the ears like him but a lot more humble and amiable/affable
Dunno how this popped up in my recommended but he had beef with Pepe of all people.
His first real test vs Arsenal.
It’s kind of crazy that a win puts us only 3pts behind Arsenal. Obviously not the likeliest of the three outcomes but would be nice.
A win would give us all a real buzz. I’d happily take a draw and then a win on Saturday. A win here would be massive though against a top 4 rival.
He keeps reminding the team is not fully trained yet especially in changing tactics during the game.
Or its a little kidology on his part so that the big teams underestimate us.
To calm the expectations I’d say. He’s only been here for a couple of weeks and already I can see that fans are getting ahead of themselves.
It's quite refreshing to see that attitude rather than the "we're back" statements we usually see after a few wins.
Points here and there are nice but there's a long term goal and until it's achieved we won't be back. Need to keep the players focused on improvements rather than results.

A win tonight and he’s going to really struggle to suppress the hype!
Yeah, telling it how it is.
I think it's basically just like how it is in corporate life, having a higher up who says "half of our company is fecking shit, we need an open heart surgery" v.s someone who is saying "we are making progress but at the state of our company I foresee some tough situations ahead" just hits different.
Reading between the lines when he talks about the storm that will hit.
He says, it will come because he watches football and understands it but he also says "I know my players", so he has clearly seen something he is not impressed with.

Gotta be honest this is a first manager post SAF who I have a good feeling about, can’t help but to finally get excited on what the future holds.
He was essentially comparing the players he has to teams like Arsenal. He knows his players and he sees what's in the League and knows a storm will come because he knows football.
His honesty and charisma is just fantastic. Like, I have a bit of a man crush forming. He’s great at tempering expectations.
The fact he doesn’t regurgitate the same nothing statements that many other managers do just itches my brain just right.
Not expecting anything from tonight. Would be delighted with a draw.

I don't think he is comparing the players as such, but rather the team. He knows that Arsenal have been able to work on strategies/patterns of play etc. for a good while - a basic luxury that he has not had.
Amorim's honeymoon period: He's so dishy and brutally honest. I love that.
Post-honeymoon: Not a United manager!!! Making excuses before a match.
Fair play to Goatmorim for being consistently on point with his pre and post match pressers (genuinely). It's a low bar, but he speaks really well, can criticise without being negative and is positive without being ridiculous.
