He's surely going to be relieved not to have to use Debast once he takes over
Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach
- Thread starter sewey89
- Start date
As a Benfica fan, what were your thoughts when Amorim became manager of your city rivals?
Hamstring - you have to question his training methodsWas there an injury I missed or did he just hook somebody after 25 mins?
Injury. And unfortunately Pote is basically the main source of dribbling and creative thinking.Was there an injury I missed or did he just hook somebody after 25 mins?
Debast is being a major flop. What was he thinking? The guy was the most expensive defender ever for Sporting.
Not really. Pote hás been injury prone since always, otherwise he would be at a top european club.
Ah, fair enough then.
Haven't seen much of Debast, but I think I vaguely remember him looking like a bit of a clown for Belgium in the Euros.
They really dont
At the time we didn't really care because he was an ínterim at Braga. But seeing what he did at a club who just lost several players and was having huge financial issues made me see he is made for another level.
Seems to have lost the dressing room. Can't see him surviving this result.
2-0 down now. He's getting sacked at the end of the game.
he'll be gone by tomorrow i bet!
Sacked in the morning
They aren’t top of the league with 21 goals scored and 6 conceded for no reason. Only losing 1 game all season.
Nice way for Amorim to bow out.
They got rid of him three games before this shameful performance. Standards.
A surprise to see Sporting 2-0 behind at half time v Braga. Ruben ex club of course and bit of hang over from giving City a trimming midweek.
0.12 xG in the first half. He's ready for us.
I think its way too soon to be talking about what's going to happen or what we expect to happen next season, the situation he is walking in to is unprecedented as no other Man Utd manager post Sir Alex has walked in to the club with a proper footballing structure in place so we need to wait to see what happens this season before talking about next season.
I know, they are doing well but they dont look unbeatable
He’s clearly managing expectations by coaching them to a massive loss after the impressive win against City.
Losing to Braga is not really a surprise. They are very solid at home games.
I’d agree with you if they’d lost more than 1 game.
In fairness, they would likely have conceded a good few more if they weren't immune to giving away penalties. I remember several instances.
I don’t think we’d complain if we lost some games under Amorim aslong as the style is consistent and you can see what we’re trying to do.
Failed his first real test.
AmorOUT.
AmorOUT.
Is that work permit thing true? Seems fake
First goal was not legal, but Braga at home are a tough bone.
Good luck with that.
It's a very peculiar situation for Amorim to walk into - apart from the challenges with the team, the table is absolutely insane right now.
Last season following GW11, there were two teams who were within 4 points of fourth place. Now there are 10 teams who are within 4 points of THIRD place. City in 2nd place have a bigger gap up to Liverpool in 1st, than we in 13th have to Chelsea, who's 3rd. Which means that for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with us, this season is far from the write-off it should have been, given our record.
Of course, the bad news is that we're the last of those 10 teams, and even if we start getting consistently good results, some other teams will too. Still, there's opportunities here you don't normally get when you're 13th after 11 rounds.

Sporting have pulled it back to 2-1 now, I never realised former Sheff Wed manager Carlos Carvalhal was in charge of Brags now, he has managed a ridiculous amount of clubs
We're level! Still time for a winner.
Get in! Come on lads!
knowing our luck he’ll probably get injured or ill on his first day.
Harder! We've reached the promised land!
2-3! Another banger!
Boom! Harder scores to make us Amorim fan boys harder.
AmorIN
Good second half. Basing my entire opinion of the Portuguese league on this game, the standard is….not great
When is he starting?
Beating City comfortably and producing a late comeback win, it's like we're back in the 90s
