I desperately want Amorim to succeed, but go take a look at all Sportings goals this season. Damn some of the teams in that league are woeful. It certainly won’t be quite so easy and makes me wonder if this glorious 3,4,3 will be as transformative as we think.
Good luck Ruben. He’s gonna need it
Good luck Ruben. He’s gonna need it
He's done it in the CL as well and against both Spurs and Arsenal
That’s literally not what he said.
He just comes across so well. And he says a lot without actually saying a lot, if that makes sense.
He thought Viana would try to recruit him. It's clear that Viana has been told that Pep is leaving at end of contract and that Ruben would be the obvious candidate.
Our poor players brains…
Erik has been trying so hard to get them to understand his system for so long.
Thankfully our patience is at an all time high!
Agreed. A genuinely likable guy.
No, I don't think anyone has ever said he was charismatic.
Easy to say that now. If city offered him the job before us he’d be theirs. I’ve always said the first big club to come in for him he’ll choose.
Erik ten hag was a likeable guy. That doesn’t get you very far. Maybe Amorim is easier to understand in relation to tactics etc
As a portuguese, his english obviously seems far from perfect, but definately more than enough to get his point across (with low chance for misunderstandings) and to get lots of good quotes from him.
How do english fans feel about his english?
His English is great imo. Won't have any difficulties moving to an English league.
Takeaway for me is he's a smart politician. Not a bad asset whilst he's with us
Doesn't really bother me. No doubt he'll improve once he's in England and immersed in it every day, which is always the best way to improve your language skills.
Most of the squad speaks either Portuguese or Spanish anyway.
Ten Hag also had a bit of a reptilian verve to him.
No that’s not what was asked and that’s not what was said. He was asked if he could see himself managing City. He said yes it certainly crossed his mind. In the sense that if any big club would come for him, he could imagine himself managing them.
That's the one.
“Obviously it is one [thing] that crossed my mind,” Amorim said of the possibility of managing City. “But I never had any doubts about the club I wanted to work for and my decision has been made. I was not undecided about it. I wanted Manchester United.”
On the game v City;
“If the result is negative, expectations will drop which may be a good thing, but if we win they [the United fans] will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived,” he joked.

Actually quite sad how different he seems
Surely we aren’t about to break another one
Yeah, I was actually impressed...never heard him speak before tbh, but he has something about him.
Nice little interview
The coach can definitely control that situation. Sell those that don’t fit, don’t perform get rid.

Actually quite scary how you can actually visibly see how managing this club breaks people's spirit. Ole aged years.
If it wasn’t before, it would seem the season is a write off/free hit for Amorim now - with plenty saying he will take time to improve and develop the team, so why not use it to blood youngsters and get a sense of where we really are. There is bound to be big name casualties so we should look to replace them from the academy this season. I’m thinking Amass, Kone, Martin, Mantato, Fletcher etc… really give them a good go and see how they fare in the men’s game.
We need to do something about our attack. Going to a 343 with Bruno taking on one of the 3 positions helps. I do see Hojlund improving, but if he doesn't, I think we would be smart to take a look at Osimhen .
One of Garnacho or Amad need to step up to claim the third spot in that attack, if neither can't, then it may be time to cash in on one of them, as we need some consistently dangerous attacking threat coming from our attack.
He will fail, as others have before him. It doesn't matter which manager we put into this organisation.
Would be brilliant addition to The Big Bang Theory cast.It is awful but I would rather take us creating, but not converting then not creating chances at all.
Is Cotterill banned from United? After the Ten Hag stuff and now this, he has to be. Why indulge such a disrespectful prick?
Who do you support?
Nah. This is the one. Came to sporting and ending the dominance of the 2 other Portuguese giants. He’s coming to England and he’s going to end city’s dominance. Give him time and he’ll re build us.
You must be fun at parties
The thing I like about the 3-4-3 is the extra protection at the back. Aswell as the wingbacks being dangerous in attacking areas. The wingbacks should create tons for our attackers in the box. Hopefully the 2 wingers will be more central so it should hopefully stop us from seeing them cut in all the time and shooting
