Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

I am sure his bubble was already burst having to sit out the last month or so. Pretty obvious we have asked him to find a club for himself. There was no reason to humiliate him in the press conference by saying that he'd put a geriatric before him on the bench.
This guy is being paid £350k per week and can't be bothered to put the required effort into the very thing he is being paid for! It comes with the territory.

No, it doesn't. I am sure there is a time and a place for this. Going public with it doesn't really help anyone besides fans on the internet baying for blood.
 
The reason was a final attempt to reignite whatever spark he had for playing football before. And this was because its clear he won't be leaving this month.
Well, it was a really poor attempt if in fact that was the reason. Let's see if it works out. I don't think it'll, but who knows.
 
He sure might need some players, but strangely, when I look at us, I don't see how a LWB and a ST will suddenly make us a great side.
Overall it is just really poor. That was one of the jammiest wins Ive seen again, where we basically didn't create anything.
 
Amorim is an absolute supreme narcissist. He does not care about Manchester united. He didn't care about Sporting. What he cares the most is being in the spotlight - whether positively or negatively. He wanted to join us mid-season: not because he wanted to manage us, but because he wanted to be the sole focus of attention in the most popular league in the world.

He is destruction. And because he loves himself unconditionally, he will never change, he will take never responsibility. After the Ipswich match, he told the sport pundits that "no more press conferences after this one - I've done more in my first week of England than my whole time with sporting." This was just deflection from his true intention: to be a complete media whore.

He might bring some success, but my oh my, he doesn't give a damn about the club or the players. Those rumours of him flying over to west ham last season during midseason are true - he'll do anything to be the focus of attention. He'll say anything, do anything (even be sacked) to make sure his name is the headlines.


This post is borderline schizophrenic.

I can just imagine the spit escaping from between your jowls as you type with such ferocious anger.

Do you know Amorim in real life or something? How could you possibly make these assertions otherwise ?
 
I am just highly disappointed with how we have attacked and yesterday specially was brutal. The same was the case against Brighton where we hardly created anything. I was hoping by this time atleast we would have some pattern of plays. Yesterday reminded me of LVG time which I thought I would never see again.

I understand Amorim wants to keep playing this formation but why don’t he change the personnel. Don’t keep Playing Dalot and Maz at full backs and keep expecting the same results offensively. Have Amad as RWB and put Bruno as RAM, Maino as part of double pivot.

We can also try be more attacking and have Amad and Garnacho as part of Wing backs, have Zhirkee and Bruno as 10s and Hojlund as number 9.

I am so done with having 5 defenders and two midfielders. We basically play with 3 attackers only and it shows. What the formation requires is two top level wingbacks, in order for us to be attackingly competent, we may need Marcelo and Dani Alves only then I see this formation working for us. Realistically, whatever wingbacks we will sign would be very unique and will cost us arm and leg.

I think management has dropped the ball here. Maybe it would have been better to go for some other manager or kept Ruud and let Amorim or other manager take charge next season with his players and preseason. We have basically sabotaged the season. Looking at the performances we will not finish in the top half, which is embarrassing for any manutd team.
I think it was the right decision. The season was anyway a write-off by the time ETH left, getting Amorim in now, instead of a stop-gap meant he would know for sure which players can be retained and which have to go. As Amorim already mentioned, we'll be in a much better position given a years time.
 
I'm not really sure what you're getting at? Are you saying one can't judge a situation by what's unfolding unless he has access to insider information from the training ground? I'll leave you be.


You're not sure what I'm getting at? Seriously? What I'm getting at is that you don't have the information you - or anyone - would need to judge that. You don't see Rashford on the training pitch, you don't see how he interacts with teammates, you don't see what sort of presence he is in the dressing room. So, unlike for most other things we discuss on this board, you don't actually have much of a picture of "what unfolds".

Amorim's call. End of fecking story.

Had to check online to see if there had been reports of Amorim running away with someone's wife. No other reason you could hate the man this much after 3 months

Worst post I've read on here in years.
 
We did this in, I think, his first game in charge? Or one of his first games. He put Dalot to LWB at half time, but had Dalot cutting into the inside left channel so that Garnacho could go outside left. Im surprised we haven't tried it more often.

Yeah you can see it the past few games, at least he’s trying to address the issue as Garnacho naturally goes out there anyway, which had led to a few more promising attacks from him.
 
Interesting take. Personally
I'm convinced the striker issue is over blown. Currently The entire attacking system of the team is thoroughly under developed in this formatiom. We don't pass the ball quick enough, not at a consistent enough tempo to exploit switches of play to over load opponents nor utilise any pace or trickery we do have upfront. In addition our attackers do not understand each other enough for them to play to the varrying strengths of Zirkzee or Hoijlund. Things that won't change till we have more training ground time to work on attacking patterns and partnerships in this formation
Thank you! Doing my head in how slow we switch play to another side and unwillingness to play the early pass to an overlapping player.

My first thought was 'Liverpool fan' but the unhinged nature of it maybe implies City fan. The 'He is destruction' is cool though. I'd like to post that next time United defeat someone.
 
No, it doesn't. I am sure there is a time and a place for this. Going public with it doesn't really help anyone besides fans on the internet baying for blood.
In what way does it not come with the territory? He is paid a fortune in an industry where performing to the best of his ability in public games and training sessions is the extent of his job. Unless it is written in his contract that any criticism must be done in private then it's tough shit. If Rashford was meeting the terms of his contract then this wouldn't be a thing - it's in his gift to do something about it and shut his manager up but he apparently doesn't want to do that.
 
Thank you! Doing my head in how slow we switch play to another side and unwillingness to play the early pass to an overlapping player.

We are terrible at progressing the ball into final third and keeping it there, as mentioned by the manager many times. We severely miss a runner (like an inform Luke Shaw) or a progressive passer who can pass between the lines. Even having a brute like Fellaini up top would be better.

But having said that, we have never had such poor set of attacking players in terms of putting ball in the goal consistently.

What a line! :lol:

It's probably fair to say he doesn't really care that much about Sporting from his actions - and therefore he definitely doesn't really 'care' about united but then which coaches really do? Most talk the talk when they are at a club and in a city and then feck off immediately when fired or given a better opportunity.

I personally get the opposite impression though from him and most managers, they do way too much media and it's all repetitive questions from average journalists, often trying to make headlines. I think he'd happily never do another one again.
 
:lol: Without Ten Hag we'd have a far better squad.

Nobody over performed. The underlying numbers in the performances are there to see. They got lucky.
I‘m not gonna disagree with that second part. As far the squad: it is far better than two years ago.

There was no reason to humiliate him in the press conference by saying that he'd put a geriatric before him on the bench. It doesn't help our bargaining position either. We don't need to announce to the world that we are trying to offload a lazy git onto them. Also, Ruben hasn't been exactly going gangbusters, we have won like 4 of his first 12 games. There is no need for this kind of stuff.
I read it as Amorim trying to force him out. Maybe he's not really looking to move on. I can't imagine many places lining up to pay his wages, or that he's too interested in taking a pay cut. Maybe being consistently embarrassed is the only way to get him to actually move on, "accept you're moving, or I'm going to publicly embarrass you every time I speak to the press". Not necessarily saying I like it, like him or not Rashford is a human being, but considering how many players seem to have been fleecing the club over the last decade this is a refreshing thing to see and might be for the best.
 
We need to produce more lucky wins. Play badly and still get the three points. As long as it’s not the only thing we do to win. The point is; I’m happy with lucky wins.
 
I think it is good that he is clear about the new way forward. No more passengers, no more overpaid players not pulling their weight. Everyone, regardless, has to give their best or they are not going to play. It is a clear message to everyone, not just to Marcus.
It will of course be even harder to sell Marcus now that he again mentioned that Marcus is not doing enough in training but i think it was worth it.

Good lord, what did he do to you?! :lol:
 
Constantly emphasizing in interviews how bad the squad is, driving down the sales value of the players whose sales we urgently depend on every week, and making the football we play just a little bit worse every time . And at the same time portray yourself as the one who is finally taking action. I can hardly imagine that he will survive at our club for so long.

He's saying the team is bad.

The players form the team together but it's also about tactical implementation and synergies.

The only thing he's critical of publicly is effort, and makes reference to wanting to improve them and talks up potential rather than current ability but it's very general.

I note that his bosses haven't reined him in so I assume they are OK with what he is saying. What Ruben has been saying is in synch with INEOS's actions so far.

Yep because in interviews he talks highly of Garnacho... as per your logic this should drive the value up... yet no one wants to pay more than 50m.

We cant depend on Rashford, he has shown it over the years that he is lazy and not a team player.

By your post, you seem to think this squad is amazing, if you think the manager is wrong.

:lol: what is this?
 
Why not? Fergie was always very outspoken and calling players out if they were out of line. bout time this club changes
Fergie was but he always knew where and when to fight these battles. I'm not convinced that being so open about his criticism of the players is the correct play at this stage. And also, Fergie had a plan of what comes next.

I'm not saying Rashford should stay. I'm not even saying that Rashford isn't wrong. There's just a better way of dealing with all this nonsense.

Mourinho was just as critical of the players wasn't he and look how that ended. The argument that these players have been molly coddled for years and Amorim has come in to tell like it is for the first time in 12 years is massively flawed.
 
Happy birthday boss! We’re all with you and support you. I’m sure your aware by the chants you was receiving all game from our away fans last night.

Everyone knows already what Marcus is, which is why the offers haven’t rolled in for him.

Someone might take a punt on him, in the hope he‘ll be motivated and gets back to his best.

In my opinion, his best option is to train hard and try to get back into the team.
