I get that they felt they needed to act but I found it a bit risky to bring Amorim in at the start of this run. A coach with a very specific approach given a Frankenstein squad and a game every 3/4 days. Like Potter at Chelsea it’s just becomes a reaction of going from game to game and makes it difficult to implement your style, esp if the losses start to stack up. He’ll get time as he should but a rocky start can be hard to shake especially when he came in with such hype.

Feels like a bit of medieval court politics. If King Jim hires 5 different guys in various DOF roles he’ll always find one to agree with him and another to scapegoat. And he can dress the decision he was going to make anyway as being carefully considered.

Hope this is the start of a briefing war

Ratcliffe proving to be a mad hybrid of Mike Ashley (cynical penny pinching) and Farhad Moshiri (constant interference). Hopefully the fans turn on him and he goes full Ashley and just operates out of spite.

Good chance for us to close the gap on the leaders

Ev have just posted that it’s off

Good thing you don’t have many games in December then

Yeah noticed that last night he basically fouled Hall every single time. It’s like when Kane used to repeatedly try and drop defenders of their necks but a bit more subtle.

happens every game it’s maddening especially since you know how hard it is for a lot of folks to get tickets these days

Both teams hit the post, an Isak rocket, Gordon 1 on 1, Murphy’s chip wtf is he chatting

They are a mess but Atalanta are quality - they beat Napoli 3-0 a month back.

JUST DRAW THE FUCKING BALLS MAN

Couldn’t give a fuck about Amorim man, give us some content on Tamworth or Doncaster etc that’s what the cups meant to be about

Why does it need to be done at Old Trafford ffs

Aren’t City owned technically owned by Shiek Mansour and not the state? These things will always be set up with things like this in mind.

Beat Leicester twice

Almost think that should be a red for Nunez

Pearch?

Manquillo?

Matty Longstaff

he had that one bit of comms in the Roma vs Barca game that was great and has spent the time since then trying to imitate it

Potter should wait for the West Ham job

Madueke

Seems mad not to pull the trigger after the last game, when they could use the international break to ring the changes. Now to give him a two game ultimatum on the eve of the most relentless run of fixtures of the season in two games they might lose anyway.
