Which goes back to my initial point of such systems managers needing 500 million of investment and 30 new players for anything to work.
Hmm we also lost points by bad reffing and missed big chances. Over a whole season it levels out.
What Xavi did at Barcelona is no easy feat, Barca with a lot of young players and only Lewa as a star player.Untenable
The guy has been here since November, with a squad we all said was crap when ETH was sacked, 1 LWB signing, and a team who cannot pass and win duels.
Great idea lets spend another 12m+ on sacking a manager when our accounts show this to be unfeasible, he definitely needs criticising and should be doing better, but to replace him would be another knee jerk nonsense decision.
We are building for the future, are we going about it the right way under INEOS who knows....
The accounts tell the story of being fecked financially and you constantly complain about the money wasted on Ashworth as he was some saviour we have cast into the fire and the extension of ETH, so lets add another small fortune to that mix.
Xavi plays technical high paced football, our lot will suit that, more nonsense they can't even pass and move at a snails pace, he won the Spanish league with one of the big two not exactly Klopp is it, if they wanted him they would have gone for him as he wouldn't have cost any pay out.
More Reactionary Nonsense From Yourself
You can criticise but constantly hyping up scenarios that are not going to happen unless we are relegated, but you are asking Ipswich and Wolves to drastically improve their points per game with less games, than they have so far for us to even be in a scrap.
I have watched the occasional game, must have got his teams confused, but in order for us to be a possession team we would still require upheaval that majority of this squad cannot do.
If Everton and Ipswich beat us we are in big trouble or do you disagree especially if Ipswich pick up 6 points from next two games and we pick up zero, I repeat if he creates a situation where a club like Man United lose 10 PL matches from 16 matches played with only 4 won and we are only 6 points ahead of Wolves and Ipswich with 11 matches to play, he will be sacked, this is not something I want, But SJR will pull the trigger without any exceptions, if you think he will not, your naive at best, delusional at worst!Untenable

There's nothing to turn our back on. We hardly know him apart from his disastrous first 3 months.
Exactly so play 4312, he’s right about Maguire he can’t play in a 2 CB system too slow so play that way but both Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso have been playing a solid variation of 4312/442 and it’s so unknown it gives you advantages plus matches up with 3 man in midfield.
People was saying we planned for Amorim to be the next manager hence the signings of Yoro and De ligt. Why would you sign 2 Cbs if you wasn’t planning on going for a manager who plays a back 3. Since we still had Martinez, Maguire and Lindelof.
Give him some new players to work with first and a season to implement his style before you judge him.
Yup new players, more and more new players. That always seems to be the answer to everything.
Of course you need new players if most of existing ones are shite. But you need to identify the right players with the right mentality at a right age and pay them appropriately not excessively. Profile like Dorgu seems right way forward for the current state of the team. But it will take a year or two to churn out overpaid shite we have currently on our books (Rashford, Sancho, Casemiro, Mount, Shaw etc.) All in all where we are currently I would much rather see all burnt down to the ground and start fresh. Amorim's stance, mentality, no nonsense direct attitude is the right way to get accountability and high performance from players. At least from those that have balls and mentality to produce high performances in most of circumstances. It starts with the right mentality. Never say die attitude, tenacity, skill, atleticism etc. qualities we are sorely lacking. Burn it all down. We will not get relegated. And start with a fresh young exciting team. If we get relegated in a season or two american leches will leave and sugar daddy owner will buy the club and throw the money at it. United brand is to big to fail.
We are becoming more and more like tottenham
It still is a very similar system, just the approach changed a bit. Which is a smart way to evolve because they still have the same roles on the pitch and need minimal squad changes.
100% agree. We should’ve kept Rangnick longer - to do the dirty job; overhaul the squad and build new structures around the team (read sport director).
I can understand being a muppet in the moment but at this point in the season, still thinking we strengthened in the summer suggests you haven’t watched any football between now and then. Personally I had zero expectations of any of the players we signed and I’m still disappointed in how shit they are.
That's what I said? Similar system, different approach.
Sterling still scored over 100 goals under Pep. He has not done this under any other manager. Pep got more out of him even though he is not a Pep player.
That was never going to be his remit though. He was brought on as a consultant, not a director with actual decision-making ability.
Even as such I would have had more trust in the previous leadership with Rangnick's support than in the current mess.
