I mean he did say they are in a relegation battle which is a huge woooof moment that you'd never ever expect to hear from the manager of Man U.

 

 

 

 

I get that, but i think it was baiting so he loses his cool. He didn't do that, which is credit to him. Seen that with Howe a bit as well, he never bites to baiting.

Amorim obviously deserves time to try and get it right (they surely can't sack him) but a manager who comes in and tries to force a squad of players to a very particular formation, regardless of whether they're suitable to playing it or not, seems to me to be a huge red flag. 

 

It shows a complete lack of coaching flexibility and use it resources. Even Conte who prays at the altar of 3-4-3 quickly switched to 4-3-3 at Napoli considering the squad he has.

 

The problem is he's made such a big deal out of the system being his philosophy that by changing things up now he  would undermine himself - caught between a rock and a hard place.

They’ve literally got 7 fewer points than Wolves in the last 3 games

Interestingly Amorim's replacement has already been sacked.

Same as Ange.  It just seems so limited as a manager if you can't adapt the way you play to fit your players.

 

Eddie Howe: 'the game is constantly changing and evolving".

Robbie Big Coat: "I only have one idea" (he actually said that pre-match )

I honestly think he would go back tomorrow, Man Utd need a total rebuild, Scrooge Mcduck runs them and Jabba The Hit owns them, it's gonna take a Harry Rednapp to sort these fuckas out

Lose to Liverpool, and it's a relegation 6 pointer against Southampton afterwards.

Bringing in such a manager mid-season makes it a much bigger risk as well.

Aghast at him being made captain tonight. He's been atrocious. Think his midgetness is catching up to him and it doesn't matter how good on the ball he is. 

Been absolutely shite on the ball every time I’ve seen him recently too. Was atrocious tonight in every way. 

[Kid Icarus]

I think that's the worst Man United team I've seen us play.

Most away dressing rooms are done like that, to make it as uncomfortable for opposition teams.

Honestly can't choose if they were the worst side we've seen this season in the first 45 or if we were just slick as fuck?

Give him all the time in the world....on form...in any other season they would be genuinely close to a relegation battle, if Ipswich and Southampton hadnt nailed two of them already they could be realistic contenders for the last spot with Leicester. Kind of like how Dalglish ballsed up 97/98

Both is the correct answer

@Froggy what do you make of the Zirkzee situation, has he really been that bad? For all of the jest, I actually think Man United fans are generally very patient with both players and managers, especially in comparison to Arsenal for instance, so I was somewhat surprised to hear the reaction to him being taken off. Felt a bit sorry for him to be honest.
