Maguire will play a lot more. We can have one weakness on back three, but it’s suicidal to have two weaknesses.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
Our squad just isn't suited to play his football. We barely carry any threat going forward outside of Amad and he's playing as a wing back. Fernandes was probably the next best but even he's an awkward fit in this system.
I think the players aren't good enough, and whatever system we play in, they will be found out. They don't run enough, don't see the game well enough, and don't have enough overall quality. If we win the Europa league to get into the champion's league, then great. Otherwise, I hope we finish outside of Europe altogether so that it's easier to discard deadwood, and just concentrate on building a team that can compete in the league.
Agreed. Player mistakes cost us dearly. Licha, Bruno, and Onana today. That had nothing to do with Amorim, his tactics or formation. They were simply brain farts by the individual players.
Our squad isn't suited to play anyone's football. They are crap.
Hardly that surprising, is it? Liverpool are top of the table for a reason, and we're 13th with a new manager for a reason.
Looks like some tough times ahead until he can get some of his own players in.
We're not getting top 4 and we're not getting relegated, so does it really matter anyway, just let Amorim get the dirty work done this season, in the hope it puts us in a better place next season.

3-4-3 is a risky proposition for the PL at the best of times with the quality in the league and teams having so much pace and transition threat.
It will be interesting to see how Amorin adapts to it, it may be his preferred formation but his current squad lacks players suited to it.

He has a big job on his hands. But I trust him for now.
How about just play him at 10?
Would maz at rwb be worse than amad?
Is Garnacho better at 10 than Amad?
Our best attacker and dribbler shouldn’t be playing some false winger position. I mean imagine Liverpool playing salah as a wing back..
And Amad is miles better in tight spaces....
Chatting about the formation when their goals came from a corner, a basic shot from 25 yards and a header that travelled in slow motion.
The issue is that he's gone from having a team with hard working and intelligent players, to coaching a bunch of lazy, mentally fragile, physically weak prima-donnas who should never have been at this club.
We'll need to stick with this manager, and make sure that the players who don't deserve to be here leave, one way or another, and that the people in charge of recruitment can listen to what the coach will be wanting in replacements.

I’ve always hated this formation. Reminds me of the days of Glen Hoddle for Englund.
He’s trying to play a clever quick brand of football with players who are slow and thick as mince. I still fully back him.
Right. But that won’t matter if you concede 3 extra goals every game due to wingback who can’t defend and has little to no strength.
The next few league games are really tough, he needs the team to start picking up points. Today was a big miss.
I really like the conviction he has in his ideas, he will be successful here in the long run.

I hope he sticks to his vision and refuses half measures but I wonder how far fans are willing to back him if the it leads us to even further spiral down the rankings, despite how most everyone asks the same I'm willing to bet it can get quite ugly.
Honeymoon is over. Now the real struggle begins
The goals were from bad goalkeeping and bad defending. Now is it how we are marking at crosses? Onana had a horrific game today and should have done better.
True, the second one though came from Bruno and Yoro not quite connecting in an interchange that should have been quite simple (to be fair I think Yoro should have slowed down as it wasn’t the easiest for Bruno).
The players quite clearly aren’t comfortable yet. Rashford came on and didn’t have a clue what he should be doing and where he was meant to be. It’s not going to be a quick fix, and the hysterical ones on here will struggle to cope.
Storm has come. Now deal with it.
Whatever his style, needs to be implanted with full force. If we suffer we suffer. If players fail they get sold. But the system must keep developing regardless. That has to be the goal otherwise we’d just be standing still.
Early days so I'm not worried. The only thing I want from him to try to identify his best 11, and the best position for each player. Time should help but as he said himself, he needs results to buy time. I had hopes for CL footballer but whatever.
The guys been here weeks..... Y'all sound so weak sometimes, no fight, just tantrums. We all knew it would take time to transition so what's all the crazy talk about? Give him a bit of time to get to know his players and the league.... at the least right?
Football fans are conditioned to think that any team that loses a football match were 'outdone tactically' as if results aren't more dependent on other aspects
Not at the top level, no. I think you could eek a little bit more out of some of them setting them up in a similar way to how we played during Ruud's stint as interim but it's not going to help us out in the long run so I understand why Amorim is doing what he's doing.
I just hope there's money there to sign a few players in the summer because quite a few of these need weeding out.
Was there ever a honeymoon for a head coach that took over a club in 14th midseason ?
Got a huge job on his hands
I’m already getting frustrated with him. Put players in natural positions.
We have two natural number 10s in Amad and Bruno. He decides to play Bruno in CM and Amad on the right wing position.
I know we don’t have a fit left footed wing back but don’t play Dalot there. He can’t do it. That’s why we signed Mazraoui yet he’s never started at LB or LWB.
Every single coach that comes in decides to put players in unnatural positions there wonder why they don’t perform.

For me, its clear that he needs to be backed irrespective of the short term results. When the players are unable to make easy passes, unable to hold the ball and make frequent blunders, there is only so much a manager can do. We are looking at yet another overhaul in the squad, need to sell 5-6 players and get 3-4 in the next summer window.
Agreed. It feels like some posters like ignoring what actually happened in the match and would rather revel in as much misery as possible. Don’t like some of the subs that were made today but we were quite comfortable until that Bruno+Onana+Lisandro disasterclass.
They’re also incapable of separating player performances, or anything really, from the result. We lost so therefore everything is terrible and nothing was good.
No manager can do anything about that, we were set up at half time after coming back strongly and dominating completely to just literally letting two goals in. It’s beyond ridiculous.
This would be true if we were six months into the project and we were still an incompetent outfit. It's been less than three weeks, so the desire to believe it will be different is not unreasonable. He has the credentials and he has the personality. Yes, there are no guarantees, but it is premature to talk this way.
Well if that was a tribute for Kath they should be ashamed. I mean the game, not pre-game.
