Man's got Butcher at LCB. Must mean Homelander's in goal then.

Hopefully he will put all the old coaches in charge out and take completely new and fresh team. Eight goals in nine PL games and the injuries just keep on coming. Something must have been off for long time in training and complete reset is required.
Ajax fans were interviewed as well and they sang ETHs praises. One of them said “you don’t know what you’re getting”
I mean, they weren't wrong.
He’ll get a nice run of home games to settle into England.
He thrived because it was a low-block back 3.
I keep seeing that he loves offensive football. Loves his teams to score many goals whilst hardly conceding any.
Is it a coincidence that CD Nacional badge is kind a similar to ours?
I think not.
I think not.
Shouldn’t laugh but this is the grown up version of that crying boy interview meme.I don't think I've ever been missold anything as badly as I was missold Ten Hag.
I was told we were getting a tactical genius with a clear style of play who was going to take us away from being vibes and moments FC and turn is into a modern football team with a clear style of play...
Yes, exactly. We didn’t know what tactic we were getting, even after two seasons.
Let’s not pretend ten Hag was a bad choice. He was an obvious choice at the time and the highest rated available coach out there. He didn’t work out but he was a logical appointment.
His supposedly final lineup is out for his game tonight. Rotated side given it’s a cup game.
And we would never know
Born 27/1 1985. Guess who is born seven days later 5/2 1985 in the same country? Hint, they played together a couple of times.
"Dreams can't be buy"
I can't remember people crying over ETH. I've seen two grown men crying about Amorin leaving today.
Cristiano.
Is he doing a pre-match interview?
Wonder if he will carry on wearing the club badge on his arm? Or was it a Sporting thing.
Ineos would sell loads at the megastore.

Obviously depends on how he gets us going, but on paper that's a tasty side imo.
Hopefully all the tactical discussions over the next week before he takes over aren’t a waste of time. Thankfully we don’t have long to wait either. I remember it was months between ETH being announced as our head coach and having to read from loads of experts on here what Ten Hag ball is, who is a ten hag player and how he’d revolutionise us.
Hopefully we’ve all learnt from the ETH disaster and just wait to see what Amorim does when he gets here.
I hate to use the term but we seem to be cursed. Any expectations we’ve had for managers have failed to be met both in terms of effectiveness and style of play.
Will we finally get it right with him? I have no clue but I’m hopeful he can at least make us a physical and energetic team that is good in possession. We haven’t been that since the Fergie days and to be a top side in this league that’s almost a must.

He's come a long way in the past few years. Have you heard him speak recently?
Now let's see David Ornstein's photoshop
Was just joking mate, picking one of his iconic quotes. Offcourse he speaks well.

You are still here? I thought you went with ten hag.
Appointing ten Hag was the right call at the time and his failed tenure here should not be used as a deterrent to making an extremely progressive and forward thinking appointment like this in favor of more pragmatic and “safe” options.
The conditions and circumstances Amorim will be coming into are different than they were at the beginning of ten Hag’s tenure. Can’t let the potential risk behind this decision ruin the potential for a higher reward compared to those other safer options. A risk that is highly mitigated by the fact that Amorim will be operating under a proper footballing set up from day one.

He’s aware half a billion muppets will be watching them for the first time so he doesn’t want to inflate prices before the January raid. Playing the ultimate 4D chess.
The second person to bold my post but oddly stop short of the part where it says as a young option. So if we were to go for a young manager, those would have been my choices.
Ouch!
Why does everyone put defenders at wing-back while Amorim uses wingers there at Sporting. Could be exciting and surprising how it turns out.
Indeed. If they were not, it would have made little sense for me to have said I’d have favoured them as a ‘young option’.
I was excited for ETH's hiring. Loved the way his Ajax sides played but it clearly didn't work at Old Trafford. In my opinion that's down to several factors and I think the leadership in the squad has to take a chunk of the blame. The make up of the squad at the time of his hiring I think made him try to alter his tactics somewhat. I think Injuries played a part. Our previous 'football structure' hiring a manager and not being able to buy players he wanted or similar players for reasonable fees was an issue. But ultimately maybe the job was just too big for ETH and he didn't have the strength of character to impose his will on the players and the club. For me, that's what Amorim HAS to do and I hope INEOS brass all gather with Amorim and the players and make it VERY clear to the squad that Amorim is the man and if they don't like it they will be binned off.
I'm excited about a young manager who is actually young.
As opposed to young, up and coming ETH. Who was also 50.
It's a portuguese league thing. Managers have to wear that identifying armband
Count me in on Ten Hag hype. Watching his Ajax side had me on high (spirit) to see United playing like that, with a much better funding for players.
Thats a point that can be better, he is a coach who gives a lot of confidence to the players. So basically he does the same as at Sporting, take over a team/club who was in big turmoil. He became the best coach of us in the last 50 years and maybe even in the history, I'm mad - for know - at him that he leaves, I would have dealt better with that if it was at the end of the season. I give him a 9 on 10 at Sporting and that would be a 9,5 if he didn't leave in the middle of the season.
Curious if he is gonna do things different then at Sporting. There he had a limited squad with players who basically guaranteed a spot in the starting eleven if they performed.
I hope that he doesn't get shopping at Sporting in the winterstop. In the summer is different. One of his strong points was is managing the players and his communication. He is really a great communicator and for a Portuguese person very assertive, if you gonna compare that with the other big names in coaching in Portugal, the calimero one, Jorge Jesus, CONceicao, Abel, those are very agressive people and very egocentric. Ruben is down to earth and he lets the majority of the time everybody be himself. But he can be stubborn and if somebody puts himself above the team he won't hesitate to put that person in his place internally. An example of that is Islam Slimani (a hero of Sporting who came back ) and was put aside of the team because he didn't cope with what were the ideals of the coach.
Other thing is to see if he is gonna work with a bigger squad then at Sporting, there he worked with a smaller squad and he rotated sometimes out of the blue to give the players who didn't play a lot minutes and the feeling that they counted too. I think that you will see the hand of the coach very soon.
At 20:15 he will coach Sporting probably his last game (for now) but probably he will play with a B-team. Curious to see how the fans will deal with it.
There was definite concern at the time about how his Ajax side had dropped off. Thankfully it doesn't seem Amorim's Sporting side are doing the same.
