He has it, doesn't he. I bloody love him. Now for Ineos to uphold their side of the deal and give him the tools he needs (and get rid of the absolute tools he doesn't need).
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
It's a mentality thing that needs addressing with regards to the 'smaller' sides. I trust Amorim to get it done.
I think it’s tactical as well ie Dalot good today because big game more counter attacking space to burst into and less intricacies needed and likewise Maz sitting back as a wing back less of issue.
We need to change personnel for the smaller sides especially in wider areas.
This is so pleasing to see. The days of having 30% of the ball away to City and Liverpool (and even Spurs at home last season - 36%!) are hopefully over.
unfortunately in the extended version he went on to praise hitler and talk about using nose measurements when signing players, which you’ve now said you agree with.
What an interview. He's setting the levels and expectations for the players. I agree with every single thing that he has said.
Yeah fair points. To be fair we can't get too carried away we are probably a good few of players away.
But mentally I feel is a big issue. We are nowhere near as intense against the 'lesser' teams.
So everyone is on the bandwagon again.
Happy he silenced the doubters. We were level with Pool and could have won the game, second half we were better. At Arsenal and more ao at City we did well too. Let him work, give him new good players and we will fly next season

I think the Rashford cloud hanging over has some to play in it. Every interview they get asked about it. The sooner club house distractions are gone and a true leader steps up that will help. I thought Bruno was better today and McGuire also stepped up.
Would absolutely love it if he can win us the Europa League this season. Not only for getting a trophy sake and the CL qualification but it would be a good platform for him to build onto the next season.
Exactly. City have looked shocking at times and we all know how elite their team and manager is.
Yet something miraculous is expected from Amorim after picking up a downtrodden, unfit squad, with plenty of PTSD.
we needed that type of performance vs this type of team. Good stuff. Onwards and hopefully upwards.
Absolutely love his no bullshit personality and the way he is trying to raise standards at the club. He is honest and direct without being an antagonistic knob like Mourinho
the post-match felt like a peak fergie, when fergie was angry
this could be it lads

Interesting post match interview where he said he can only now publicly express his anger and disappointment in the players performances in the games leading up to this , he said he did not feel he could do so when everyone else was piling on on them as well. It felt like he was disappointed most in in the effort in the previous games as he said it was not about systems or ability but something else and then highlighted the workrate today.
Despite today I still don't think he can trust these players.

XG a load of nonsense tbh
Only until the next slip up
Probably. Bit there are very very positive signs away from the end result
Agreed. It’s been clear in the majority of our games that we’ve improved significantly in terms of control and possession in a short period of time.
Amorim basically saying the players are game raisers. Makes sense when you consider the City game
Obviously glad for the result today but feels like too many people are getting carried away. We beat Liverpool and City to the FA Cup last season. The squad can be game raisers at times. I’m more interested in how we play against Southampton and Brighton as that should be 6 points.
Amorim has said it time and time again that he will play his way until the end and today we saw his way begin to work and stood toe to toe with (unfortunately) arguably the best team in Europe on their home ground and with us having a far inferior team of which there’s big parts that Amorim doesn’t have position wise.
We’re very much a work in progress but I think this season is a free hit for Amorim to get the tactics in place and those that he wants to keep around getting used to the system, it’s very clear we need a natural left wing back and a quality striker that can provide 25-30 goals a season but at least we can see the plan in action.

Loved it. It reminded me so much of Fergie. Try to pick the lads up when they have a bad result then hammer them for their levels previously when they get a good result. Proper top manager stuff. This guy is the real deal, he just gets it, he gets big clubs.
This is also the first time in a while he’s had time with the players on the training pitch to work on his ideas. There’s been no preseason remember.
I'd say 95% of this squad are done at United, unless something drastic changes.
If he doesn't see the same mentality, application and determination in training this week as today, he'll know who he can rely on going forwards.

Everyone keeps saying we need a LWB which is correct but don't we also need a RWB?
I love Maz but in this system RCB is probably his best fit.

Literally every single word out of his mouth was spot on. Best interview post Fergie.
Yeah, absolutely. We need a quality set of attacking wingbacks to make the most of this formation - not to mention another quality AM, CM and eventually CF (if it’s not to be Hojlund).
This match and the one away at City are probably the first time we try to go toe to toe with best teams in the league since Van Gaal left.
I think there will be issues and the occasional days off which we had many so far, but for the first time in a while, I am hopeful. The squad needs drastic improvements, thus it will take a while for things to click, but I have a high expectation that eventually they will and finally we will be competing for the big trophies again.

Ah, casual racism for no apparent reason.
At the very least. Amorim has the charismas and the mentality to be a United manager. We haven't seen that since Jose.
Yeah similar to when SAF went in on his players after winning the cup with Aberdeen
I'd like to think that it's whatever he is doing with them in training that is finally going in, rather than them just been up for it today.
I was shocked, we were actually good.

Context?
Eventually, maybe Dalot can do a job at RWB but I doubt it.
Don't be so dramatic
Looks like it kinda did…
Dammit. Just wiki'd him and his full name is Ruben Goebbels Himmler Amorim. He's made a fool of us all.
Most possession we've had at Anfield since how long?
My memory of the last 3 games at Anfield is just us camped outside of our box hoping for the best. Wasn't any better under Mourinho and Solskjaer too

We have raised our game numerous times in these games previously, I don't think we are quite fixed.
I'm sure with more long weeks of training we'll improve further though.
Fearless performance. How a Man Utd manager should be.
