He's making less and less sense, unfortunately. And it's weird. One thing he's been consistently good at is making the right subs - so he clearly identifies if something doesn't work. Only to go back to something that obviously won't work next match
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
Such as?
he HAS to be considering changing the system until may, surely. any of the players hes judged good enough for it will still get it in pre season.
A win does not excuse Amorim in any way from what was largely a shambolic display of coaching and selection against a borderline Championship side. It was a disgrace.
We dominated Leicester in the 2nd half when Amad moved to RWB and we had two proper #10s in Zirkzee and Garnacho. So why did Amorim start a RWB at #10, a RWB as a LWB and a LWB as a RWB? It's mental.
If he doesn't see Dorgu and Amad should be our starting WBs, which is a very basic thing, I don't think he is the coach to take us back to the top.

I absolutely hate 4 wide players all inverted.
Just try a right footed player at RWB and left footed at LWB and let them overlap and cross the ball and cut backs please.

Sorry but what game were you watching. We absolutely dominated the second half, they barely had a sniff.
It feels like the players bailed him out there at the end.
Ironically, we looked a bit better late in the second half when the players started to move around and abandon the set formation.
I really hope he learns his lesson from this. You can't play five defenders at home against poor teams.

Gabriel Clarke asking the right questions.
"Were players played in the wrong positions tonight?"
Amorim - "I dont agree"
Chirst on a bike. Delusional.

Lucky man, a loss tonight would have been disastrous.
Does anybody honestly think that Ratcliffe is going to sign off on a squad overhaul for this guys tactics and system? I don’t see it personally.
I think we’ll have another manager before the end of this year.
Why's he playing Dorgu at RWB? I don't get this, sorry Ruben.
He's fuming with the performance at least
If we go that way, hopefully for the start of next season. No mid season shenanigans
He looks and sounds very fed up. Just get to the end of the season try to win something and go from there.
Really liked the interview, that was not a good performance at all.
I think he needs to calm down and bring some clarity in his head. From the outside, it seems like he is just experimenting till something sticks. This is further compounded when he disregards what has worked in the past and tries something completely new.
Patience is running thin and he needs to take control and show the fans that he knows what he is doing.
He's always fuming, doesnt seem to make any difference on performances because he keeps persisting with this shite formation and 5 defenders at home.
Yup, let's sack him without really having a chance to put his stamp on this club. Who do you bring in after him?
Says the right thing again in his post-match interview. He clearly knows the standard required.
I think he needs a holiday. Take a break, stop thining about united and football and come back fresh.
We'd be hard pressed to find someone doing worse, to be fair
What you're talking about?
Ratcliffe doing that means his getting rid of Omar Barada because he brought in Amorim who believes firmly he's the right man, they've purchased Dorgu to play in this system too. No way is Ratcliffe getting involved. They will invest in him and hope he gets it right, or it'll be like our managers before, rip up and start again and waste few years.
Really fear for Amorim. Keane is right, if there's no enthusiasm or energy then the system won't make a jot of difference.
Mainoo walking around, no intensity. Hojlund lumbering about the pitch. Dalot and Ugarte making shocking decisions time after time.

He was annoyed with the lack of intensity and energy. Formation doesn’t matter especially at home against a Championship level team.
Ratcliffe already is with Dorgu, and not a chance.
Whose job is it to motivate them and make them play with intensity?
What makes you think someone else comes in and gets a tune out of this bunch of useless cnuts?
Well if that was the case him and his staff have made two horrendous errors in his short time in charge
Keeping ETH in the summer, spending money on players for him, only to realise a month into the season he's still terrible, then bringing in a manager who we knew played a completely different system and would need signings to make it work.
We're so bad and the squad is so bad we have no choice but to think long term now and just build slowly with the manager they identified as the right one.
No matter which manager we bring in we'll still have a midtable set of players.
He is making life very difficult for himself with his strange decisions and playing players in wrong positions.
I have full faith in Amorim.
Knows what needs to be done, always looking to fix it when it's not working. Trying to find the best solution.
And it's clearly coming.
Let's go!

20 games.
10 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses.
10 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses.
The big problem is most Managers would simply bench those players and replace them. We simply can't.
6 wins in 8. Marching on
Very premature talk yes.
You think we'll write off another £20m+ hiring and firing managers?
I don't think some realise how dire our financial position is.
Something simple like Ruud, who seems fairly poor himself, hammering this Leicester side
Rashford and Antony have been carrying us??
Yeah it's weird, you'd get the impression that we are in horrible form. We're not playing good of course but we are still getting results.
