Just seen Sporting Lisbon's record this season.. I'm in.
Rashford is fecked. If it is true that guy plays with at least one no10 then there is room only for one winger in team.Rashford et al will eat him alive.
Did well in a less shite league with an underdog, not the same as doing well with the biggest team in a league really.Up and coming manager that did well in a shite league, what could go wrong ?
Reddit tells me he stubbornly plays 3 at the back. How will that work with us?
Antony aside, a good manager should be able fit our current players into his system imo.Pretty much. Also means a massive clear out of ETH players next summer in exchange for ones Amorim needs to fully implement his own style of play.
Sporting have conceded just two goals this season in the league (30F 2A) - and the last one was conceded on 17 August.
That's 684 minutes without conceding a league goal. 30 goals in 9 games too! I’d kill for 30 in 19 from us this season.
For those wondering, yes he can speak English.
Own goal from Dalot incoming in his first game in charge for us then.Sporting have conceded just two goals this season in the league (30F 2A) - and the last one was conceded on 17 August.

I disagree with that. Only our wingers are in danger. Our squad is built for his style.Pretty much. Also means a massive clear out of ETH players next summer in exchange for ones Amorim needs to fully implement his own style of play.
Think he'll eventually line up like this
Onana
Yoro
De Ligt ------------------- Martinez
Mainoo ------- Ugarte
Dalot ------------------------------------------------------- Shaw
Bruno -------------- Garnacho
Højlund
With this sort of dumb logic we’d never hire any young exciting managers from abroad.Up and coming manager that did well in a shite league, what could go wrong ?
The problem is Antony is slow. Wing back should be a very fast playerAntony wingback is gonna be legendary.

Do we think he’ll play 3 at the back? We’d need more creativity in the wing back positions. Dalot can’t even score in front of an open net !His back 3 will be De ligt, Yoro, Martinez
I think he is neither.He might be the next Jose or the next Villas Boas.

Zirkzee, Mount, Antony, and Casemiro are definitely on the outs, each for their own respective reasons imo.
Why were some posters claiming he was lined up for the city job?
Ideally you play Amad and Rashford and upgrade heaviliy with better attacking wingbacks if anything. Let Rashford play as an inside forward and more direct while Amad plays in the half space more.Would rather play Mount instead of Garnacho. I think Garnacho isn't suited to this system at all
Was just going to post this. Shaw wont be fit of course and we'll need to sign a specialist left wing back pronto. And a deep lying playmarker instead of Mainoo.
I tend to agree. It's fun to complain about the squad but it's decently versatile for a number of systems now compared to where it was a couple of seasons ago. Main notable issue is Left back being a black hole, and our fullbacks not being great creative outlets in general anyways if you want to transition to wingbacks.Antony aside, a good manager should be able fit our current players into his system imo.
Flawless analysis.Up and coming manager that did well in a shite league, what could go wrong ?
He’ll get fit asap now!Shaw exists?
At least he’s not bald.Up and coming manager that did well in a shite league, what could go wrong ?
Why were some posters claiming he was lined up for the city job?
Does he?Shaw exists?
Mount and Zirkzee could be part of the rotation for two no. 10s no? Although who knows if he will continue the same set up.
Sporting Lisbon's director of football, Hugo Viana, is going to CityWhy were some posters claiming he was lined up for the city job?
You’re a noble chap, Sly. Very dignified of you*Yep. He's been the best manager in my lifetime. A joy to watch Sporting.
Oh well, if he is to leave I prefer it's to United.
This feels like an AI of CR7's voice
Does he?
From what i understand about him (not saying that i know much ) he is playing with two no10s so he will be happy with Mount. Likes striker who has technique so Zirkzee also is safe. Plays with two dmc so Case is needed. Antony is fecked.Zirkzee, Mount, Antony, and Casemiro are definitely on the outs, each for their own respective reasons imo.
