I mean, from his perspective, why join United? The ultimate poison chalice and a strong possibility you’ll feck your career up.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
He told us he had an idea when he came in, that idea isn't working so far, even if there's been some improvement in our general play. Feck me though, our squad is atrocious.
Don’t abandon the formation for short term wins, this is the whole point. If we wanted someone to come in and abandon their philosophy and “adapt to the league” we might as well have hired Steve Bruce or Tony Pulis. The fact is that it has to get worse before it gets better, either we believe in the direction or not. If the fans can’t handle it then we should just give up on trying to have a defined football style and get a jobber manager that can play a physical premier league style with a low ceiling.
Obviously we're not getting top 4,the mere idea of that is laughable.
Accept the season is a write off and let's see what he can achieve next season.
A decade of decline and mismanagement, bordering on sabotage, has brought us here, not Amorim.

Oh, we look a lot more toothless than we did under ETH this season. And no wonder. The guy just played Malacia and Dalot as wing-backs at home, I don’t know what he’s expecting.
I didn’t know much about Amorim going in but I didn’t think we were getting a defensive coach.
A really genius decision to keep Mainoo on, who’s been an absolute embarrassment.
Do we already have people against Ruben? Caf wouldn't be Caf otherwise. 
How the feck is that nonsense?
There are some very poor posters in the football forums, and you particularly notice them after results like this.
This team is uncoachable! There is a culture that is so deep rooted where the players think they are better than what they are and dont need to work. i am beginning to think that this club needs a massive shock to the system to get it out of this dross. A relegation might not be a bad thing as full reset is needed, players sold! The new players that join this group and consumed and corrupted by it. I bet within 4 to 6 Diallo will be part of this very same dross!
Massive job on his hands
Contrary to popular belief we do have some good and decent players and as a whole the squad is pretty strong.
These are very poor results and it’s been a bad start as a whole for Amorim. He needs time and patience , But not many managers at top clubs get this

Thought there will be some overly dramatic post, but dear me. Getting out of here

We are losing 3 fecking 0 to bournemouth at home.
Wake the feck up.
Can’t belive people are slamming Amorim already and the fact that he has rotated so much, he hasn’t one of his own players here. And he has to know who has a place here and who should be shown the door, he is giving every payer ample opportunity to show what they have got. FFS people this place is toxic sometimes.
Bad decisions starting Zirkzee and Malacia
He’s also going to have to rethink he’s over-reliance on Bruno soon, I think

He’s made some bad decisions today, that’s going to happen. But this is a very poor group of players and even some of the younger and better players are massively over rated.
It wasn't laughable before this game, we just needed to follow up a promising win at City with another promising result. It's laughable now, yes
This formation doesn't work. 5 at the back but we concede all the fecking time. Not enough attacking players on the pitch when we're already an average attacking side. Midfielders in this formation need to be box to box and ours aren't.
Here we go!
He is having the crash course in being a United manager.
A few decent performances to start with....Then a few defeats and a high profile player doing a public interview later...Back to being shit and midtable!.
The joys of being a United Manager.

taking Ugarte off was a bad shout but can’t really fault him for anything else. These players really are just terrible
You don't change your whole philosophy because a bunch of useless cnuts can't perform.
His philosophy and tactics work, hence his success.
Why the feck should he change all that for these useless twats. They are the problem and should be sent packing.
He has to be regretting taking this job. It's so cursed
Overrun all over the pitch. Especially in midfield.
Overloads on the wings and our players look lost.
Players haven't a clue who to mark at times.
He's had enough games (with several terrible losses and some great wins in them) to know who to play by now.
I wish he would ban Bruno from taking every free kick. Other than that we are just a poor team with so many poor players.
Wouldn't matter who he picked between Hojlund and Zirkzee for example neither are good enough and that's a problem all round the pitch.
It's a shocking squad of players

Same here. I can’t see when we’ll recover.This is our new heritage. To write seasons off.
I miss my club
Until we clear out any reminders of Ten haag I'll reserve judgement on Ruben.
Let him bring his own players in that suit his system.
None of this squad is at the standard of United.

How can you truly say that?? We've created so much more with Højlund on
I would agree with you if Utd hadn't created enough chances, but that's not the case.
Utd created more chances than Bournemouth today. The difference is they scored 3 times while Utd pissed everything away.
Amorim needs to sort the set pieces and a starting 11 asap.
Hojlund has looked good since he's come on, nice to see him getting plenty of shots away for once.
I'm happy with him. We are creating chance after chance. These results were always going to happen with the squad ten Hag built.
This season is just about bedding in his style. If these results are happening in a years time when he's started the process of building his team, then I get being worried. Now? Way too early, imo.
Ugarte is hopefully the sign of things to come as I'm sure Amorim would've wanted to work with him again had we not already signed him. Technical and composed under pressure.
Just like he instantly made Amad a key player. Then there are the two wide CBs who step up into midfield. He seemingly likes them to be technical, too, which is why he's used Maz there even with other options available. Then there's the dropping of Casemiro. Everything points to him valuing technical players who can help control games.
It's all on the new INEOS structure, though. They have to get the next few windows right or, no matter how good he may be, he has no chance.

I'm not worried yet. There's pretty much no options for him at the moment because this squad is terrible from a technical POV.

We have some decent players, but the squad is not strong, especially not for a 3-4-3 formation. Except for CBs, we lack everywhere.
It's absolutely nuts especially when juxtaposed against the patience EtH was givenDo we already have people against Ruben? Caf wouldn't be Caf otherwise.
Your philosophy should not be tied to one formation to the extent you’re incapable of adjusting if the material doesn’t suit the system. Adapting to the squad at your disposal while still being true to your philosophy is part of being a good coach.
5 at the back if you're playing 2 defenders as full back is just brain dead and it's never gonna work.
Idiotic to write a manager after a few games considering what he walked into. I'm all for being hasty in getting rid of managers but at least give the man a proper pre-season and some signings ffs.
