The fact this guy will only ever play one formation tells you how out of depth he is. It's amature, like sunday league football.

Another loss vs Ipswich and he won't even have that choice anymore
Yeah. The form of our players has dropped off massively.
Maybe telling all the players they’re shite isn’t the best way of raising confidence.
When your team is losing and not playing well, isn't the job of the manager to change tactics?
I'm just not willing to judge him when these are the players he has at his disposal. You have Maguire acting like a donkey dropping 10 yards off his man because he's too slow, when your manager is trying to implement a high pressing system. You have a midfield with absolutely zero mobility, a right wing back who can't deliver a cross in a system which relies on its wing backs as its main outlet. And a striker who can't hold the ball up or position himself correctly.
It's the players, and it always has been. Onana, Maguire, Dalot, Casemiro, Zirkzee, Hojlund. That's half of your starting lineup, and these are all players that wouldn't get into this Everton team. And that's a team that are 12th in the table, not fighting for Europe.

Way worse. This season makes last season look like 1998-99.
I'd genuinely take Big Sam till the end of the season over this shite.
It's not like the opposite works either
But that has nothing to do with the manager overseeing this very drop of form?
He can't work with this team and we don't have the money for a rebuilt.
This. It shouldn’t be open during the game for that reason.
This entire formation hinges upon forwards being effective. Neither Zirkzee nor Hojlund are that.
I will not be surprised with Chido comes on for the second half.

This is a promotion for Berrada too, correct? He hasn't been a CEO anywhere else before?
I don’t get the argument for giving Amorim a free pass because he inherited a mess. If he’s good enough, he should have been able to make at least some improvements by now. Moyes (who we know isn’t United level) took over a relegation battle from Dyche and is guiding Everton to comfortable mid-table.
Sadly this is the case. He now has the cjoice between losing face and changing things up or ploughing on and waiting for the inevitable.
When was the last time we were this bad?
He doesn't know or understand anything else.
For all the stick ten hag gets. I’d have put my house on us collecting more points than Amorin had he stayed and that says everything you need to say. The job of a new manager (no matter the circumstances) is to improve what you have to rally the team, he’s completely failed in his only objective.
My tactics shall always play.
Has he always been so blindingly honest in press conferences and interviews? Since day one I have had this little feeling that he is pushing the club to sack him, or at least doesn't care. He didn't want to come until the summer but took it because it is Manchester United. Fair enough, but is there a world where he came in and realized how bad it really is and thought, I made a mistake? We keep talking about the club making the mistake, but it seems Amorim did too. I don't think he is a bad manager and will have success in his career. I hope it is with United.
what?Easily the worst we've played consistently since SAF. The team play without any confidence, skill or basic abilities. We know they are shite, but not outplayed by every team, every week shite. He need to go and there is no disputing this.
The thrashings that Ten Hag overseen were pretty bad I think
The best managers often adapt, Stubborim isn't really helping himself is he.
When you have a shite squad simple tactics under a manager who the players like is the way to go. Lets hold off on hiring hipster coaches with fancy systems until the playing personnel is much better than it currently is.
Why did the relegation thread get locked?
This club needs a relegation to become great again.

This same lot were flirting with relegation. They have just gotten a new manager bounce and a manager who has set them up to play to their strengths.
No way is their team better than us. Their strike force is better but this is no longer a case of us missing chances. It’s a case of the entire team crumbling. That is purely on the manager.
Don’t get me wrong, this team is not CL spots level, but they are not as bad as they are showing currently. The manager has just made us worse somehow and us blindly backing another manager will just worsen this rot.
As I have said previously, it is no surprise that we are where we are. Our attacking players are relegation level.
And Dalot. Regardless of just how bad he is.
Hojlund, Zirkzee, Casemiro, Onana. Awful signings and who signed them? Not Amorim.
Admins, better lock this thread for 48 hours 
Either way, I think this will be the end of the line for him.

Better form isn't the same as having better players though. Clearly the majority of our squad is better than Evertons.
Amazing how this manager has made us look like Derby County 2007/08 in such a short space of time.
I honestly don’t give a shit what happens anymore as I’ve well and truly given up

Extremely worrying that he seems completely incapable of getting any kind of response out of these players.
Lose today (99% probability) and against Ipswich (likely) and he’s gone I reckon.
He is nothing but words it seems. Seriously looking like another fraud.
Same shite most games, never changes anything even when it's obvious that every team is crapping all over his 'system'.
I'm sad, actually thought they had a chance today after a full weeks training.

This is such tiers below the worst of the Ten Hag days it's quite worrying.
As is the continual reduction of standards.
If we keep this trajectory and finish 16th, what happens next? We accept an inevitable relegation as we need to start from the bottom up, and then before you know it, midtable championship is the level?
If he gets the sack, I’m done with this team.
Got multiple managers sacked.
No one else is fixing this shit, what’s the point when the players are crap

Zirkzee and Hojlund take so long to do anything. We wonder why we can’t score. Would be surprised if either of these two score again for United.
