Boys amongst men.
It's not so much the system but his persistance in playing 5 defenders. Mind boggling. Keeps doing it and we keep looking shit. Needs to be much braver if he wants to make it here
Are we forgetting Chelsea won 2 UCL’s & a PL with it?
And I’m sure City have used it before
Wake up lads. He’s out of his depth
I know you didn't say he should start. My point is that he shouldn't be expected to play at all. He isn't ready.
Standing there watching some of the shit on that pitch and do absolutely nothing until the 90th minute is mind boggling.
This even if most of the game there was a defensive line of 6. OMG
Some of the pundits were saying it was a risk to get him mid season as if he didn’t get results the players would lose belief..
Exactly.
I mean I feel for him, our players constantly make wrong decisions, whatever tactics and instructions he provides won't make up for all those wrong decisions and don't start on me on Garna basically missing a sitter or Zirkzee leaving the ball in to Bruno behind him or Bruno's constant rash passes, there is nothing Amorim can do about all that.
But, he should've subbed in few of the youngesters after the 75 mins mark, we would've lost anyway but it would've been fun to see some youth player given a run.

Not looking good but our pitchforks should be firmly pointed at Ineos right now and not him.
Most dissapointed I've been with him. Fecking coward accepting our 3rd defeat of the season against the worst Spurs side in decades. He won't last long.
- Dorgu rwb, no dorgu lwb
- Bruno 10, no CM, no no 10
- Mainoo CM, maybe 10, let’s try false 9
- Zirkzee 9 or 10, let’s see. We try both
- Mazraoui rwb? cb? lwb? Ok, play him anywhere
- Amad. Hmmm, play him rwb then 10. Keep switching
- Garnacho is not good enough to start, but he is good enough to start
- Hojlund is so poor, but let’s keep him on the pitch
- Casemiro past it, but keep him there doing nothing
- Subs on the bench, keep them on the bench
- Onana lots of mistakes but won’t drop him
I want Amorim to succeed, but he is doing a lot not to succeed

ETH made a series of absolutely horrendous purchases, which the club then bought at ridiculously inflated prices. This profligacy might well be unrivalled in the history of football.
I'm starting to lose faith. He's too stubborn for his own good, and we're overall worse than when he took over.
I think the fact that he's very charismatic is making some people ignore our awful performances. We aren't making any progress, so it's just a matter of faith rather than any evidence.
We're very defensive, we're so boring, and nobody seems to be in form.
I didn't expect us to do anything impressive this season, but imo good managers show progress. We also clearly don't have the money to buy him a new squad.

I support him and I like his system but there is no excuse for leaving Casemiro on right until the end.
Maybe he should have brought Jorge Vital on.
Possession doesn't mean or indicate anything, and that was at one stage over the 90mins.
On another day we win 2-1 and everything looks better. Is it Amorim's fault for Garnacho blazing a simple (for an international footballer) opportunity yards over the bar from 10 yards? Zirkzee had a chance which any top striker puts in and Hojlund for the effort he had cut have easily used his brain and cut back on to his right foot when he knows Spence is diving in. It's a lack of quality.
Hiring a manager who steadfastly refuses to adapt and be flexible with formations may have not been the smartest move.
And how did that work out for Macheda? We can't be expecting a 17 year old to come into the side to fix things.
Haven’t been to an away in a decade and don’t plan to either. That’s for younger folk than me.
I’ve said all I want to and it’s clearly hit a little close to home for some people. I apologise, but genuinely, you’re looking at United through a lens that doesn’t exist any more, so you’re never going to be happy with it.
All over now, and we lost, so not much to be positive about. I’ll swerve this thread for a while because it’s going to be more of the same and I think the system and the manager is a complete red herring. I think at our best we’re 8th based on talent, and that’s fully firing and confident. Which we are not. Happy Sunday people!
Whether he’s the right guy we will never know, because the club is a mess, but he’s not good enough to grind out results or get us playing productive football. He’s using a system that isn’t working and he hasn’t the tactical nous to change it. Shame we can’t sack him because he’s useless for a relegation fight. He’s gonna take us down and then leave.
It was a tap-in today for him to give some minutes to academy players and he bottled it.
I can't wait until the day I won't have to see 5 at the back again.

And yet EtH’s interviews were uninspiring as well and look how that turned out
I feel for him with the injuries, but the issues we've seen today are the issues we've been seeing in every game. It's nothing new. He's been a disaster and has done nothing to show that he deserves to be backed.
Ultimately though, the issue is with the board. I honestly think you'd struggle to find many squads in the league less suited to this formation than ours. Now, if you've got the means to completely overhaul the squad, then fine, you can just write the season off and focus on the next. But we're skint. We'll probably bring in a few players over the summer, but the majority of this team will still be here next season.
INEOS have had two big decisions to make since coming in, sacking Ten Hag and choosing his replacement and they've flubbed both of them.

Thats a matter of opinion. I'm unsure about that one. What we do know is moorehouse has done very well, looks ready and Casemiro looked dead for at least the final 10. You can't explain making feck all subs in that situation.
And the decision to throw him on for the final 2 mins was just so weird. Why do it? He obviously wasn't even going to touch the ball.
Correct. Many people who said they were willing to put up with "pain" have already crumbled. Most of them crumbled a month ago.
This is true.
There is more to it than the system though. These players can do the basics - they cant make simple passes at times or hold the ball up. It doesnt matter what the system is when individuals cant to the basics.
No subs is ludicrous kids or not, but he can’t make players out the ball in the net, Garnacho and Zorkzee both should have scored today, Dalot had a great opportunity as well.
8 losses in 12 games is criminal and he might not make it to the end of the season as it is.

People are really desperate if they believe a bunch of youngsters would have done anything today.
Today’s loss has nothing to do with tactics and everything to do with the lack of quality and money we have wasted. The only players worth keeping in the squad out of the X1 are Bruno, MdL, Garnacho, Dorgu (only because he just got here) and at a stretch Maz. I will drive Hojlund and Casemiro personally out of the club. Zirkzee is another player who looks good in patches but has no intensity and won’t ever be successful in the PL.

I hope you are very young with posts like this. Otherwise, the circus is in your backyard.
Amad was out. Tell me your great suggestion for WB today? Pretty sure Amad played WB in his last game.
Many people are ok with the sound of this until it actually comes down to it
I want to see him with a summer window to change things
But he might not get the chance. Everton will surely be favourites next Saturday. Then we have Ipswich at home. If they cause an upset it could be curtains

I would be looking to sack him asap. Letting him have even one kobo in the summer to spend on players would be a massive mistake.
The only thing I'm confident about is that next season will be just as crazy a shitshow as this season.
Bollox. He got rid of them for bigger reasons than, x stopped running and smiling.... and let's be honest, while he was here standards rarely dropped like they currently have, for many. That's not on Amorim, SAF is a rare breed.... and still misunderstood by many.
Entitled little pricks.
Yeah, was shocking. Casemiro wouldn't even get into a Soccer Aid team now. He would have been happy to come off after 60 mins given he hasnt played for a while. I dont get it.
