He probably shouldn’t then, if he’s unable to adapt at all. It runs counter to the idea behind INEOS building a club structure in which the manager is interchangeable. The whole idea was for the manager not having to come in and change the entire squad because no club can afford that. Now we need, what, three wingbacks and three no. 10s because we hired a manager who’s married to a formation his eventual replacement is bound to bin? It makes no sense.

Too much emphasis made on formation. That is not the problem, it’s the basic stuff, one touch passing, rondos etc. Look at the number of poor passes we have made in the wolves game. Every player’s touch is bad, passes are woefully underhit or overhit all the time. We have two tall strikers who can’t hold the ball up.
I think so too.
If i was him Id walk, and go back to sporting who just sacked their manager. Salvage some reputation while he can.
Successive losses on the bounce , hopeless performances. Reality of football at this level tells you he's in trouble, not necessarily what any of us actually want.
Absolutely not.
He’s been in the job 5 minutes and hasn’t signed a single player he wants yet.. calm your fecking tits.. Christ.
He'll be lucky to see February. Even without the red card it was dreadful.
Not again. We have to hold the managers responsible for the basic stuff. How is that Bournemouth, Wolves et al look miles above us in pressing and passing.
Starting to look a little grim to be fair. Don't get why he started playing with two defensive wingbacks. We looked so much better with Amad on the wingback.
Liverpool thought logically in hiring a manager that actually suits the players they had, we on the other hand went for a manager that does not fit with the current players and demands another never ending rebuild process
We’re committing way too few players forward. That’s on the formation, or rather his decision to make said formation overly defensive by picking defensive wing-backs.
We were terrible before this. How do you think we ended up sacking ETH?
We went into the season with a team that couldn't score. Also a team that was wide open in transition.
We are starting the game with 6 defensive players including Ugarte. What on earth did we think was going to happen!
He really needs to speak about referees. No other top 6 teams conceed more unfavourable calls than we do.
It feels like free for all for Man Utd to get decisions in which could go either way.

He plays the same formation.
Feck adapting to the squad. How many coaches do we have to go through before people realise ffs?
The team is rotten and full of shit that can’t even execute simple things.
This season is a write off.

Honestly what the feck is he supposed to do. The players are idiots. There is so much bullshit every single game that just cannot be accounted for. He’s been here for 25 days. You can’t change a team from top to bottom in that time.
That would just destroy his reputation as he would be seen to be incapable of managing a big club.
I hate how we’re stuck with these shit players for a long time. Nobody can make them look good. We’re not going to finish higher than 12th this season
Expecting some dressing room leaks in the coming weeks. Players don't like the tactics, the training etc. Its guaranteed.
This thread makes no fecking sense. People agree this squad is shit yet blame him for not having said shit squad playing well as he tries to bring in his system? So he should scrap the system to better suit the players that people know are shit? Idiots
Perhaps don’t start the game with 6 defensive players so we can offer something going forward. That might help.
IMO the players haven't taken to him. Sadly player power is the biggest issue for any football club, you can't sack them all and let him bring in his own players. However many of these will never fit his system. They know it and so they are phoning in the performance levels. Keep losing matches though and his job will become untenable, it's an unenviable situation to find yourself in and he's a rookie manager with little experience of dealing with such issues.
He should bring in academy players. They will prolly do better than this feckless lot.
The formation is part of the problem! It completely doesn't suit us and nullifies most of our attacking players. He needs to adapt otherwise he'll be sacked by Feb.
We’ve got Newcastle and Liverpool in our next two PL matches. He has to start winning games at some point…
Ineos need to back him through this.
This is all on the people who wanted to keep Ten Hag in the summer.
Amorim could have signed players that suited his formation and had a full pre season coaching his system.
We're now suffering the consequences.

After that.
Sad that some are only going to make it about the mistakes, sure they don't help but the first 45 mins were utter dross as well. Nothing is working.
He's supposed to abandon his style, his system, his tactics, and all his own ideas, and revert back to whatever formation is best suited to this group of idiots. Apparently
Not happening over those 2 games. Plus Arsenal after. So we won’t see a week for 2 weeks.
I just hate how obvious it all was that the signings weren't good in the last 2 years.
Can't believe people want another manager to get a brand new team before he shows he deserves it. No wonder we are in this shit. From the upper management down to fans we are filled with utter morons.
Yes, the squad is bad. Very bad infact. But it's not 13th bad.
I like Ruben but he has to show more before he can be trusted with money to buy players. Him having a free hit this season doesn't mean that he has a free pass to coast by & not improve us.

You people are not tired. We’ve hired every kind of manager. They have all failed.Luckily for him he can just walk back into his old job at Sporting.
I think people are annoyed we have lost to Forest, Bournemouth and now could lose to Wolves. A few weeks ago we saw all these games as winnable.
