I think people are reading into this a bit much. The only specialised players for this system that don't fit into others are the wing backs. It's not like money is going to be spent on 11 players who won't be able to play 4-3-3 or 4-4-2.

This season. Would expect a huge improvement next season. Anything like what's happening now and he'd be gone by November IMO. We're literally the reigning FA Cup champions of the world.

Probably a combination of both but more the former. He has looked absolutely gassed when he's been playing and is well off the pace. 18 months is a massive amount of time to miss. We're trying to send him out on loan this month to another Premier League club so I think he could have a future, but it's more likely he's moved on and replaced.

He'll definitely be playing LWB.

Our fans are the ones who want Amorim to continue with his style. It's your fans who think he should change.

That seems positive.

Worth noting he didn't say it's the worst Man United side ever, he said we're being the worst Man United side ever, i.e. performing as bad as the worst Man United side ever.

I think it makes perfect sense that Amorim doesn't get any blame. Yet. He's doing things we've been begging for for ages as well, i.e. binning the likes of Antony and Rashford and making players like Amad the focus. I find his honesty refreshing, even if opposition fans find it jarring. Ten Hag was full of excuses whereas Amorim just says it how it is. If the players can't handle that, then they're not up to it. I would expect a lot of movement around transfers in the summer, and he'll get another season to improve significantly. Not going to lie and say I expected it to be this bad when he came in though. It's worse than I expected, and we wouldn't put up with this next season after he gets a summer window to get some of his own players in.

That's on Ratcliffe if he wants to go that route. You can't bring in an exciting new manager who has a specific style then sack him after 10 weeks because it's not clicked immediately.

Nope I agree with the manager. He's been brought in to play his way, so play it. No point adapting like Ten Hag did and gaining a false position and then trying to retrain players in pre-season. He can't bring in 11 new players. I think if he went back to Ole ball for the rest of the season it would leave him far too much to do in the summer. He's playing his way, and he's giving everyone a chance. Even Antony despite having one foot out the door has had multiple chances. He's just confirming who will be here next season and who won't be IMO.

Meh. De Ligt, Maguire, Ugarte, Amad and Fernandes playing well. The rest not so much. Team is still riddled with mental midgets who can't keep concentration for 90 minutes. Wing backs are terrible. Mazraoui was brilliant first half of the season but has started to regress. Dalot out of position and playing awful on the left. Yoro was toasted by Sulemana but Mazraoui offered him zero protection, and he was destroyed by Mitoma again yesterday. Feels like this system needs 3-4 signings, which is only happening if Rashford and/or Garnacho are sold. The league is just one big training session for us now and it's all about the Europa League and FA Cup. EDIT: Sorry, harsh on Mazraoui with Sulemana. It was Amad who didn't give him help. Mazraoui was on the other side because Dalot was suspended.

He's not wrong.

Would be hard to disagree with to be honest. It feels like Amorim still has no clue what his best eleven is. Yoro was moved to LCB today. De Ligt moved to RCB. Dalot kept on the left despite us knowing Mitoma's pace would be an issue. Will probably start Hojlund next game, as he can't decide between him and Zirkzee. Ugarte is nailed on and important but Mainoo was fortunate to start IMO. But we end up going behind and then they both need to be sacrificed as they're too defensive. Feels like Fernandes dropping deep into midfield beside Ugarte was the shout today but it's all hindsight. In essence, Amorim has his idea, but not the slightest idea on who should play where. He has said this week they've still only had 7 training sessions and that the rest of the season will be a rollercoaster, but just how much can he do in a preseason?

Maybe 15 ago years that that's what shite meant.

If we're wanting to talk seriously this is it in a nutshell. We can be very dangerous, but it's never for sustained periods and there's always a mistake from someone or a terrible performance. It was Yoro against Southampton. It was Onana today. God I hate Onana sometimes. Like what the fuck was that today. Game was dead when that happened.

You're right you know. It's not like us to win cups when we're shite.

It shouldn't be Spurs like, but who knows in cups. I'm hoping we can have a go at winning it.

Easily the worst. £80m on Antony. £45m on Onana. Of course Amorim gets backing though. Despite all of this we still have a semi decent chance of Champions League football through the Europa League. The current favourites for it are Spurs. Nick that, a full pre-season and some fresh lambs and it can turn fairly quickly.

He's as close to it as Isak is to top scorer, so I'd say yes? He might not get the chance to win it before I kill him

Well the main problem, I think, is that we're pure shite.

Almost as bad as Arsenal's "we gave it a good go" trophy.

How Onana makes me feel.

I had you down as a good poster but you've been fairly shit today. Hi Neesy mate. You got over yesterday quick.
