Might be time to bring back our highly rated new set piece coach again.

Yes. Under ETH we struggled against anyone
Dodgy set-piece defending aside, I think we played well that half
Zzz
The 3 CBs passing and the GK passing it between themselves and no progression at all. Why don't Martinez or Yoro carry it forward more aggressively?
No real rotations to speak of either. Pretty static on build up and it's getting nullified.

He is going to have white hair by the end of this season. We are way too slow for his liking. Need to be more fluid with the passing and build up.
Part 1 is controlling the football. Part 2 is being able to play with it much quicker. We’ve not been a side who routinely have more possession than the opponent for a long time. Part 1 will take some time
We were very well coached under LvG. It's just that the football was absolutely dire.
Louis van Gaal was great. Shame that people wanted attacking kamikaze football and that they saw his tactical game as boring.
Familiar story with every manager.
Where the bounce??
Sad to say we've gone back to trying to be simply a technical team in a league that requires both technical and physical ability. At the moment we look a soft touch, we don't seem to put ourselves about the opposition, it's still too hands off, defending set pieces, we look extremely vulnerable.
I know he's new to the league, but it's not like he doesn't know what the PL is about. You can't line up with a team of players who don't wanna get stuck in against opposition who do. Whether that's down to his coaching philosophy or maybe lack of attention to the physical demands of the league, but either way, we need to wake up.

Been found out already. We're in big trouble this season.
He's not had a great start, has he? must be pulling his hair out already trying to deal with more than half of these players.
And people think it's the managers.. look at these individual errors 
You could put Fergie, Ancelotti, Guardiola and prime Mourinho in the dugout and you still couldn't get a tune out of this squad.
They are shit. They are shit footballers. That is all there is to it. The most sorry bunch of footballers we've ever had.

We're hitting the "feel sorry for ten Hag" stage now
Ten Hag has absolutely ruined our squad. Write the season off and replace as many as we can in the summer
I mean there's no manager can do anything with this lot.
Away from having any sort of football skill they're all completely thick as pig shit. Never seen such a bunch of brain dead footballers in one team before.

Cut the loses.You cant play like this at home against Forest. . We waited ETH to click he never clicked.
Embarasing game.

He'll be scratching his face off
Amorim said we'd suffer, and here we are. It is what it is.
They could've score 5 or 6 times today. We are giving up a crazy amount of chances due to his tactics.And people think it's the managers.. look at these individual errors
Bruno misplacing that pass to Yoro is what caused this.
He has his work cut out with these bunch of idiots
Amorim needs to take some part of the blame
Until we overhaul the squad, it’s a repetitive cycle of going nowhere.
The club needs to be serious on getting rid of players who are just not good enough. That’ll be hard considering the contracts they’re on.

Brainless defending with so many mistakes but we haven't created a proper chance after the goal. Terrible all around, and City is the next game, Ruben is facing 3 L in a row...
Any time a team loses people blindly blame tactics
You know as well as I do that we've been saying this now for the best part of a decade. Whilst Ten Hag bought in a few players he's worked with previously, there are still a few out there who've been part of this side since before ETH arrived.
It's also very very unlikely that we can have yet another rebuild. The money isnt there and Amorim was hired to change the team and tactics. He's got to adapt to the demands of the league and try and get a tune out of these players whether he likes it or not. He might get one or two in but ultimately he's got to change the style and fitness as well as keep the team competitive.
You people are unbelievable. Give the man half a chance.
Also, it's clearly been errors today, not solely tactical. And even if it was tactical, it takes time to set up a new system...in the middle of the season.

Tbf, he just didn't have the right players. He wanted VVD and Mane. Both would have made a huge difference.
Starting To actually have some concern we may actually flirt with a relegation fight this season.
Hate to say it but we probably would be better off having given ruud the caretaker role until the end of the season and lived off the good vibes.
It's weird how our players seem responsive when ex players are managing us from carrick to ole to ruud, or maybe it's these ex players that truly understand the beast that man united?

I agree, people moaning about how we play or tactics at the moment are jumping the gun. He’s feeling his way around the squad still and it’s obviously going to take more than a few matches. Plus we’ve got an awful run of matches coming
You can see the bipolar reactions from the players once more.
Same as with the fans I suppose

Let down by players today, this season is a throwaway. System doesnt seem to suit our players at all.
Got it wrong today by not starting Mazraoui, and keeping some players on for too long.

As interim, they are fine. Personally, i would have given Ruud until the end of the season and signed Amorim for the summer. To give him time to implement the system. Now the pressure is on from the start.
Subs really bad today.
If we weren't going to support this Head Coach with proper recruitment in the mercato, we should not have appointed him in the first place. IMO.
Clubs with much smaller revenue streams, like Liverpool and Arsenal (borderline Top 10 in terms of annual revenues when the “project” began) managed to overhaul these caliber of Starting XIs for Klopp and Arteta...
Wilshere—Aubameyang—Özil
Monreal—Xhaka—Ramsey—Bellerín
Koscielny—Mustafi—Chambers
Ospina
Sturridge
Coutinho—Firmino—Milner
Can—Henderson
Morena—Sakho—Leiva—Clyne

Amorim can't be expected to succeed if he isn't similarly backed and adequately supported by the technical team and the ownership.
Even a club like Bayer Leverkusen signed Grimaldo, Boniface, Xhaka, Hofmann, Tella (and brought in Stanisic on loan from Bayern Munich) during Alonso's first summer window.
we’re miles away from the bottom 3. Do shut up.I don’t think Amorim is under any pressure given that he inherited a squad in 14th, so as long as we remain within spitting distance of top 4 (we are only 8 points off if we lose today) then there should be no complaints given the unprecedented circumstances under how he arrived mid season with new tactics and formations.
