Amad is playing equaly deep. It somehow looks like Southampton has 1 player more on the pitch all the time.
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

He’s set them up terribly and not suited to their strengths.
So far it only worked vs City and Liverpool because of individual brilliance and because their fullbacks were playing back. It isn't a system outclassing a system in those games.
We won't win. There's a mental block at Old Trafford
Confused why he didn't haul maz and amad further up the pitch. It's insane how deep we are playing.
Because as it is at the moment its a back 5. Sitting back, hoping for a counter.
I hope you’re right. But we’ve been pumped at home by pretty much everyone this season.
He can tell the players to push higher, he either isn't or they aren't listening. If it's the latter he should be hooking them.
As we have known, we are shit in attack. Any system is hard when our attackers are dopey
System easily works against top teams but when we need the attacker's to do something and know where to go it's tough

Our precious assets Garnacho and Mainoo are the worst players on the pitch by a mile.
And feck me, Hojlund hasn't won a single first ball...

What's their strengths?
Not sure what we're doing. If we can't beat one of the worst ever PL sides then where is the next win coming from?
He's bedding them into a new system. If you can't handle them fecking it up while it's being implemented and the squad is developed go watch someone else
If we lose this one, I fear it could be the turning point for Amorim.
When they did Yoro got spinned like he wasn't there. They can play higher but we aren't great at that still
We are literally no different
There’s no excuse for having his team play so woefully poor football consistently. It can’t be put down to a lack of time on the training pitch. Something is wrong with the way he sets up the team when we’re dominated at home against the worst team in the league. It’s unacceptable.
Ah but against Arsenal and Liverpool they were setup to their strengths?
This. Some people are having a mare in this thread.
He won’t be here next season at this rate.
His formation works when we’re the underdogs but as soon as we need the impetus in games it’s a total shit show
It happens but he's definitely gotten the small details wrong today. Southamptons press I'd clearly frustrating our players and we don't know how to pass through it, while our press is failing as they have an easy switch on regularly. The 2 basic moments of play their plan is working and ours isn't. It's not always about effort or formation. Just small details sometimes and he just hasn't gotten it right today. Needs to change it at half.
When the opposition are pushing players out wide we need to have the central defenders defend the channels and the midfield drop in, while the wing backs give the outlet .
Instead we're going into a flat back 5 and the midfield are dragging out wide. It's not what Amorim instructs
For now yeah, it won't happen overnight.
Been saying this for some time now. If we really do lose here tonight, it might be time to at least look at alternatives lest we get into a relegation fight..
You can't play his preferred formation with this current crop of players. Heck, this lot can barely manage to play in a 4-3-3, let alone anything more complicated.
I'm baffled by our first half set up.
The wingbacks being so deep has made it easy for Southampton to play out, our frontline is being outnumbered in the press, our midfield is trying to step out to compensate and its just giving Southampton loads of space to play through.
I'm not sure why we have set up in this way. Maybe we didn't respect Southampton but Amorim has to totally rejig this at half time.

Can't keep sacking managers.
Hated this setup under LvG, so far nothing to change my mind that this is can work here
Amorim said we've got to suffer....not against Arsenal and Liverpool but against the likes of Southampton
but seriously, reckon we'll win or draw this but we're just shocking, I can't believe how bad this attack has gotten

We've won only 2 league games since Amorim came.. Shocking.
Since City we've haven't won a game of football in 90 minutes. A month of football spanning December 15 to date.
Worrying. Very worrying

It's not nothing to do with the formation. It was the same story under ETH, getting battered by mediocre shite week in, week out.
Lose this and he’s going to be feeling the heat. We are awful in the league and not sure when or how we won games using this system and these players. We can say stick with him all we want but he needs to change something before we are draggged into a relegation battle. Nothing in that first half suggest we deserve to stay in this league either
wingbacks being so deep can’t be by choice. Something is not right with the implementation.
Not sure he deserves to be. Can't buy a win in the league and the setup makes our already piss weak squad look worse than they are.
Please promote a striker from the 21s or even 18s. This can't go on.
It's very difficult to dominate midfield with 2 player in this league. We will get pinged for 80% of the game and supposed back 3 will automatically always be back 5.
He's going to get us into a legitimate relegation battle.
The hard truth is that we would've been better off with Ten Hag for the rest of the season.

If things go on like this our set piece coach has got to go.
We can't be a home for coaching incompetence just because you're Amorim's pal.

Hoofing the ball long wasn’t working after 5 mins so not sure why it remained a tactic
