  1. Largely agree though I'd say 9th would be a bit low for where we are, but we aren't consistent enough across the season. It's very difficult to finish top 4 and we dont deserve it for playing at a high level over the Christmas period, we need to do it for longer. A lot of the other teams in similar spots also have reasons they may drop points so not going to give up now.
  2. I do feel for him, think this move has come too soon. What makes it worse was Amorim initially said as much when they recruited him, he asked to finish season in Lisbon and join in summer so he had time to prep. When they insisted immediate he should have turned them down.
  3. More like Ashley every day
  4. It is a fair point hah. Yes he had end product on Saturday didnt mean to imply otherwise, but just needs consistency. As Wilson cannot be relied upon our main backup to Isak is either Gordon as striker (which negates some of his strengths imo but he can do it a bit) or this guy and it's hard to know if he consistently will score goals. It's merely one good game of creating chaos doesnt feel enough yet.
  5. If it's so wild they can go and sign another comparable striker elsewhere surely! Oh... wait...
  6. If we have to sell to buy more we need more saleable assets not just 'purples'. We do need to flesh out the squad with promising young players whom either grow into regular first teamers or get sold for solid profit after a couple of seasons. At present almost all the players with value are ones we still can't afford to lose. We are also in the position that if one gets sold the money will go on replacement, whom will tend to take 6 months to adapt to howeball. We need to start bringing in replacements before the sale and that means cheaper bargains not expensive already established players. Such is psr.
  7. Did look well suited for the howe high press. Question remains on real end product but was positive
  8. What do you know, if you try and create dangerous opportunities against a pretty famously bad defense you are rewarded. What they were doing for 60 minutes is beyond me.
  9. genius amorim putting on zirkzee ratcliffe vindicated everyone in the mud
  10. Didnt this leicester jeam just ship a load of goals to Everton
  11. I do find this 'we only play one way' attitude of modern managers a self serving career move, screw if the club plays badly another club will hire me for my philosophy. Im not saying have to swing wildly between styles but insisting on a formation...i dont get it...flexibility is a strength
  12. Imagine if leicester had scored from a foul throw got from man u being penalized for a foul throw
  13. I honestly have no idea if half the man u players are any good or if they are just trapped in a mad circus. I still assume Amorim must actually be good just in ridiculously difficult circumstances but again, all evidence feels pointing in another direction.
  14. Sorry to repeat but this is dreadful
  15. They are playing a dreadful team at old Trafford are they going to actually start trying to do anything?
  16. Are either of these teams going to do anything?
  17. I think winning the league will take a long while, it will be a long while before i am pissed that we arent winning it. Next big step will be being reliably in champions league places, and we're not there yet. Winning some cups on way will be fine for me. If we keep getting to finals and not winning will be issue i guess but not going to complain for a while.
  18. Don't accept the premise to be honest. I'd be delighted to win the cups a lot and understand the league is a while away but very good teams tend to win cups and leagues not often over the course of years only one or other.
