I can’t quite believe what I am seeing from the armchair experts, a mere couple of months into the new managers reign. The lack of patience is astounding, and there are people here who genuinely want to sack Amorim.

Booing and sarcastically cheering our own player off the park as they are substituted in the first half. As if anything positive could ever come from that.

I can’t think of a worse fan group.
 
So much bullshit being postet about our fans at the moment.
If any, at least the matchgoing fans are/were much to patient all the time in the past...after what they had to endure during the last 10 years they are now being called the worst fans in the world after boing an underperforming player off while sitting near to relegation zone. How dare they...I'm sure Real Madrid or Bayern Fans would be singing the players names in the current situation.

Please close the thread.
 
Pretty damn patient and forgiving fanbase I'd say. Though I do concur when it comes to Amorim. It's embarrassing that some want him gone after a month in the job. Match going fans are fully behind him.
 
In general we have the most patient fans in the world.

Yeah tonight wasn't a good look and I wish the match day fans had just been silent in that moment but they have suffered so much over the last years.

Next time Zirkzee plays if there is one I would bet he gets a lot of support.

And don't get started on the forum - look at how much the players and ETH for example did and do still get support - go and have a look at other fora on the internet.
 
We were singing Amorin's name at the game tonight. Not sure the crowd want him gone

Stretford End sang most of the game and drowned out most of the booing with Amorims Red Army.

It may not have come through the tv that way but Stretford End made me proud to be a Red during that dreadful performance.

I dont think many at all want him sacked.

I just think at present he will be, probably before the end of the season. I think a lot of others are coming from that angle too reading threads rather than overtly demanding his head.

I felt bad for Zirkzee - but whoever was swapped out was getting that. You’ve just put ticket prices up to 66 large a game for that, because the clubs struggling financially because of the ludicrous money the jokers turning these performances in are on? What should happen, standing ovation?
 
Erm…I think if you ask WHY we are in this place is because of the fans being too LENIENT for over 10 years. When the club was at its lowest multiple times in our decline, the fans just clap when we lose. The players take it as if it is okay to no try their best or it’s okay if the club loses a match.

To the contrary, we need fans to express themselves more. We had been called the best fans time and time again over our 10 year spell, but it was always because we supported our team and clapped our players unconditionally. At big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich, they would have stood for this shit football from day one.

If we had this response from day 1, we would not be in this position- trust me.

Would get rid of every single player, board member and even the guys running the hot dog stand before Amorim. He’s not Jesus, he can’t perform miracles but he NEEDS to be given time. It’s the players fault for being so bad, it always has been.

Ironic.
 
Fans online turning on the manager within 2 months added to another ugly moment at OT seeing Zirkzee getting that sort of treatment from his home 'support' but that's where we've gotten to as a fanbase.

Even Neville who hasn't said a positive word about the club in some time, expressed sympathy and disappointment.

Always new individual scapegoats to be singled out and hounded in spite of the very obvious and clear fact that we're utterly shit as a UNIT and have been for much longer than not.

We really have devolved into a cesspool of toxicity with the unfortunate downside of very few success on the pitch in between like with other toxic clubs
 
Why is everybody pretending the cheering wasn't for mainoo coming on and breaking up that terrible midfield we all hate
 
Ive said it every time and dont care what people think. You dont know me & I dont Know you.

If i had social media in my age i was just getting in to football & could see how our fans are - then i'd never have supported United.

Now its like a life long drug that i cant give up on even with rehabilitation but the one thing i should have done is never take the bloody drug in the first place.
 
No way should he be to blame for all of this but he deserves blame for the way he's set the team up. Playing Eriksen & Casemiro today was completely stupid against this Newcastle side, they are both finished as top flight footballers, players being played out of position and all that.
He needs to just go back to basics and try and get some results. Even Erik went and did that against Liverpool a few times.
 
The ‘lack of patience’ when it’s reasonable enough not to expect a manager not to lose 4 games in a row after playing several players out of position. At any club at any level. Nobody is saying sack him already but you can’t say he’s done a good job so far. If you’re going to commit to an out there formation and style, then you need some resemblance of results with it, not losing every game.

Oh please we are way to good as a fanbase, we give everyone a chance and cheer everyone at least one time too many without having done shit to earn it.
 
Extremely patient with managers and very quick to throw players under the bus. That's the fanbase.
 
Last few times we had this thread, it was because the fans weren't slagging the players/manager off enough. :lol:

People are allowed their opinions. Especially on a forum.
We gave poorly performing management a lot longer than deserved.
Hyperbolic generalising of many differing voices won't help.
Maybe get off the net for a bit, mate?
 
Booing a player, when done constructively, in the right context, and with the right player, can be beneficial for both the team and the player in several ways. It's a way to motivate the team and the player, it promotes accountability, creates pressure for better performance, and fosters a competitive atmosphere. There's a difference between supporting and being complacent.

If Zirkzee is not mentally strong enough to handle it, then so be it. Madrid fans booed Ronaldo. There's a standard to be set. We are in our worst season, playing terribly, and Zirkzee is barely running. Of course, he was going to get booed. I don't think he was targeted, though; anyone subbed off would have had the same reaction.

Fans have the right to express their frustrations. It's been years of poor, awful seasons. Professional athletes are paid to perform at the highest level, and part of that comes with dealing with the pressures of public scrutiny. If being booed affects them so much, maybe they'll find motivation in that to actually perform better to avoid being booed again. This is not a Mickey Mouse competition; the team is being booed because they’re not delivering what's expected of them. The fan base doesn't have time to feel sorry for anyone when the team is in 14th place mid-season.
 
It's been 10 years of shit performances. I'd say that's pretty patient.

Madrid fans would have burnt down the Bernabeu by now if they had to endure what we have.
 
The worst in the world?Worse than those who beat up their players in car lots ? Or who harass them with their families ? Worse than those I suppose....

That’s literally the definition of a football supporter. The clue is in the name, you support not denigrate.

I support the club. Manchester United. If it means that others players see that there is consequences for their performances and we get an extra 20% from them, then so be it. The fans are tired of it.

However, I would have to say it is not necessarily always the players’ faults. It is the club for not getting better quality players.
 
Usually, our fans are more accepting and forgiving than most. It’s fine if they step out of line and express themselves once in awhile. Not that I agree with booing your own player (unless it’s the collective where it can make sense).

Not just players.

Everyone within the club but the manager.

I like Amorim, but I'm already seeing posters make the same mistake again of believing he's our messiah and the club exists to serve him.
 
Fans are pretty justified in turning on the players, several on the pitch tonight didn’t want to be there, it was very evident.
The boss is trying his best with a mismatch of players who can’t be arsed, aren’t good enough and a very select few who are being let down by their team mates.
 
I think we should focus on supporting the manager and the team. It is ok to be angry at the world. We all feel the same way after such a dismal run. Some boo players out of frustration and some cheer to encourage. We are certainly not uniform enough an entity to be the best/worst fans in the world.
