That haircut has to go. Can't be taken seriously looking like that.

They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.

Just watched the video. Good stuff. At first I was a bit confused about your use of "rest defence" as in Danish "restforsvar" (translates directly to rest defence) is what and who you leave behind when attacking yourself. But I guess you're using the version of "rest" that means to rest and not the rest (of something)? If you know what I mean.
What's wrong with his haircut. Are you bald?
Sporting Club of Portugal (not Lisbon..) supporter and MU fan, here.
We are upset with R Amorim departure, of course, but not with Man United actions.
I believe MU is doing things elegantly: you need a coach, Amorim has a very good present and a tremendous future as a coach. So it´s only natural that you go for him. The timming is terrible for us but...it is what it is.
I watch PL games every week and have seen many (English) analysis about how Sporting plays and people seem to expect Amorim to implement that in a couple of weeks. You have to be realistic: it will take much more than that.
When he arrived at Sporting (even in his first title) the team was not playing as forward as we are now. He didn´t start with two wingers as wing-backs, but with 2 defenders with liberty to go forward and only later - when the way he wants to play was better understood by the players - he started to use wingers (first one, than two). In the first title many of our wins were by one ( or two) goals. Many scored in the last minuts.
Nowadays Sporting is playing like I´ve never seen (even better than the great1982 team): attacking, controlling the games and not conceding opportunities for the opponents to score.
But having 9 wins in 9 games with 30 goals scored and only 2 conceded in our (poor...) domestic league and 7 points in 3 games (2 away) in the champions league (5-1 in goals) is the result of 4 years with the team and many, many hours of work.
He is a very good (albeit stubborn) coach, a great communicator and the players really seem to like him and follow his ideas. But the process will take time.
So the big question is; will you give him time ?

Did you see how much time we gave Ten Hag?
We give time to all managers. Even too much for my taste. So, he will have enough time to implement his ideas.
Did you see how much time we just gave Ten Hag despite how bad we were? He's got nothing to worry about there.
Spacegoat? What is really interesting is the way Ruben Amorim always takes accountability and doesn’t look for spacegoats.
Or
So u were happy when we sold Jaap Stam?
Yes. And that can be the problem.
It´s only natural if you don´t have any patience left in the tank.
Talk about indoctrinated by bald f-rauds. Someone sanitise this guy.
How about a simple old “heh” if someone asks about Eth
Fair play man, I really enjoyed the video and analysis. I noticed you didn't mention Mount as an option anywhere - do you think he could provide cover for Mainoo or in one of the AM roles? I feel like he might be better suited to the structure and discipline of that role than Bruno (if he can get and stay fit), but might not provide the same creativity when he does have the ball.
The Media has already started and he hasn't even started yet.
The agenda will get worse when he starts especially that Goldrbigde shitte.
Shut up Dwight.
Saw a short where he's accusing Casemiro of not trying under ETH based on the game yesterday and how he has a poor mentality
Yeah, surely ETH's tactics didn't sabotage anyone playing the holding midfielder role.
MICHAEL!!
Get out.
That's an excellent and insightful post.
To be fair, the one thing a Manchester United manager is guaranteed is time. Whether or not he has to deal with a mountain of bad press and a load of washed up failed coaches on Sky Sports telling him how shite he is every other week is another story, but the club will give him time to implement his plan.
Frankly speaking, I would be happy if he keep us in top 4 with Champion League football and occasionally cup wins. I want to feel proud as an United fan. Even City keeps winning the title, I would be fine. Our standard has drop so much, that we become the laughing stock in EPL. We spend as much as our neighbour, so much more than Liverpool but yet we have nothing to show for.
Thanks for coming here to post!
It seems that United fans are very good at giving managers time tbh. Probably too much time for some of them. I think most of us see this season as a "free hit", we don't really expect anything from it. More than anything I think we just want to see the plan, see the strategy and the coaching when it comes to playing a match
I think if we can see a clear idea and see progression, he will have time
Tagline checks out.
Yeah I believe your definition is the widely accepted term so might have to change that for future videos. For me, "rest defending" reflects a team’s choice to sit deeper with a clear purpose: conserving energy while staying compact and organized. Instead of pressing high and chasing the ball, the team holds a disciplined shape, ready to absorb pressure and launch forward when the chance comes.
It’s about controlled defense rather than passive play—an approach that balances solid structure with energy conservation
Peak Mount, was made for the inside forward roles. All depends on fitness and desire.
Yeah that's the understanding I got after realising there's to meanings of "rest" in English. Cheers.
Presuming Mount ever gets fit again, he seems like a decent candidate for one of the two attacking midfielders. Works hard, can score and assist and is decent in tight areas as well.
Edit: Ah I see you already commented on Mount above.
I know we’re rich and desperate, but I can’t believe we couldn’t get him for less than 217m rupees
I can't believe we're paying 1.8 Billion yen for Amorim. INEPTOS I am disgusted.
How have I been watching these Pythagoras in Boots videos for 2 years and heard your voice many times on the podcast but am just now learning you're one and the same?
What the feck, we are paying 1.8 billion pounds for him, we could have built a stadium instead.
Beard has to go too.
Wingers as wingbacks might work in Portugal but not in the PL, and not with this team as we lack quality all over the pitch.
So you either want an engineer from Prometheus to be the manager then or Jonjo Shelvey. Tough choice I guess Black goo or white poo.
That’s not true. Conte won the league in his first PL season with that formation.
I'm tired of this 'the PL is a different beast' bull. Other players and other managers have hit the league running.
Conte won the PL with Moses and Alonso as the wingbacks. One of whom was a winger, both of whom were a bit shit.
Football doesn't become a radically different game once it takes place on English soil.
Always kills me when people build the PL to be this mythical crucible
Exactly! In his first season in charge too. And playing three centre backs doesn’t turn it into a completely different sport. The way people are banging on about this formation needing a massive squad overhaul is doing my head in. It is possible to teach footballers to play formations other than a flat back four.
It'd at least be easier to understand if English teams dominated Europe
